Tree planting program should be annual affair Editor notes the success of earlier tree planting program, what trees mean to us, and shares the magic of a mid-summer's drive through Scenic Kentucky 704, with its frequent passes through the shade of tree roofs. And what volunteers, from Joe and Terry Moore, to Billy Joe Fudge and the Adair County Garden Club mean to Columbia today By Ralph R. Waggener Editor, "Just for a Smile News," Columbia, KY Tree Planting: On the success of Billy Joe Fudge's roadside tree planting The trees which were planted on Campbellsville Road a few years ago by Billy Joe Fudge have at least some which are still growing, today. As with a lot of programs started in our city, this one needs to be restarted and be made into an annual program. I understand that trees capture carbon and what better place to plant trees than beside roads. Beside the good looks we get shade and reduce carbon. My wife Glinda and granddaughter Sidney Waggener and I drove back from Burkesville two weeks ago and decided to take Scenic Highway KY 704 because we had not been that way for a long time. I'm usually in a hurry. But we took our time on this drive. We all really enjoyed the slow drive, especially because of the canopy of trees you drive through at very frequent intervals on the trip. Don't just take my word, or Glinda's for it; ask Sid. For her, this was a magical moment. I can't think of any greater pleasure than driving on a road where the tree cover provides shady roof overhead. I realize that Billy Joe did not get much help on his tree planting. And a lot he planted did not make it. But a lot did and they will make such a big difference in the coming years. Having a tree expert planting trees for all of us and having the Adair County Garden Club keeping our flower gardens on the Square is making Columbia look great.. If more would volunteer in areas that they are good at - the way Joe and Terry Moore do, for instance - in keeping Columbia, KY, looking like a place where anyone would love to live, including prospective employers who want to locate in a community which will attract and keep top management talent . It's great to see volunteers who know what they are doing, doing work to make our city and county a better place.-Ralph Waggener The writer, Ralph Waggener, is President South Central Printing, 403 Wain ST, Columbia, KY, publisher of the popular "Just for A Smile News," a free distribution publication on area newsstands twice monthly.
