In Friday Auto Crash According to reports, Victor E. Borgh, 24, was driving a 1986 Honda CRX north on Hanging Limb Road around 4:15 a.m. when, near the intersection of Bill Water Road, the car went off the left side of the road, struck a culvert, overturned several times, and came to rest in an upright position about 208 feet from where it left the road. Borgh, who reportedly was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the car. The crash was investigated by THP Anthony Choate. Aldermen Approve
Ordinances Livingston Mayor Hosea Winningham and the Board of Aldermen held their regular monthly meeting Monday, Jan. 3 with Alderman Harold Watson absent. The Board approved the first reading of an ordinance regulating overgrown and dirty lots. First reading of an ordinance regulating storage, abandonment, and impoundment of abandoned vehicles was also approved. Mayor Winningham informed the Board that the city apparently had no computer problems with the new year, saying, "Y2K didn't strike here, so I guess everything's all right." The Board approved a weather satellite system for the airport. Hook-up is $69.95 and the annual fee is $912. The state will pay half of the cost, according to Alderman Johnny Halfacre. The Board accepted the resignation of Josh Nave, dispatcher for the police department, and approved Anthony White as his replacement. The resignation of Wanda Silver, police officer, was also approved. Approved as her replacement was John McLeod.

gone out on the porch when she heard a roaring like a train up high.
