New lighting poles in place on Patricia Trail and Utility way 2019-10-11 - New Columbia - Photo by Victoria Pike of Miss Vicky\'s Pampered Angus Ranch. Six new poles with lights are in place on the lots adjoining Walmart Holliday Place. There are more lights to come but this is a start. The roads are located behind Sleep Inn in New Columbia. Things have been busy finding the owners of two small pot bellied pigs and one neighbor dog that was lost today.
