The Call of The Pewee Volume 49, No. 2 www.peweevalleyky.org Feb, 2017 ANNIE FELLOWS JOHNSTON: STATE HISTORICAL MARKER DEDICATION & SPECIAL LUNCHEON Author Annie Fellows Johnston became a world-renowned name when she released the first book in a thirteen- book series entitled, The Little Colonel. First published in 1895, the world fell madly in love with the title character that was modeled after a fiery five-year old named Miss Hattie Cochran. Known locally in Pewee Valley as “The Little Colonel”, Cochran resembled her grand- father in both mannerisms and style. Ev- eryone knew her grandfather, Col. George Weissinger, as the “Old Colonel.” Both were well-known in the community and became immortalized by Johnston within the pages of her novels. The Little Colonel sold more than a million copies. In 1935 it was made into a film with the same title, starring Shirley Temple and Lionel Barrymore. This only added to its broad appeal. Soon, paper dolls and board games based on The Little Colonel were popping up everywhere. Johnston went on to write over 40 books. Johnston was born in Evansville, Ind. on May 15, 1863 during the Civil Wednesday, March 29, 2017 Pewee Valley, Kentucky War. Her father, Albion Fellows, a Methodist minister, died when she was only two years old. Her mother, Mary Erskine Fellows, was left to raise her brother Erwin and two sisters, Lura and Albion, on a farm in McCutchanville, Ind. From very early on Johnston expressed an interest in writing. She attended the University of Iowa for a year before working as a secretary and teacher. She married her cousin, William Johnston, on Oct. 11, 1888. William, who was older than Annie, had been previously married and had three children: Mary, John and Rena. After his first wife’s death, the children had lived with their aunt and uncle Burge in Pewee Valley, Ky. It was through her stepchildren that Johnston was first introduced to the quaint town of Pewee Valley. Tragedy struck Johnston and her husband died in 1892, followed by Rena in 1899 and John in 1910. With her remaining stepdaughter, Mary, she moved into a home on Central Avenue in Pewee Valley known as “The Beeches.” Johnston lived there until her death on Oct.5, 1931. She is buried in Oak Hill Cemetery in Evansville, Ind. Johnston will be honored on Wednesday, March 29 at 11:15 a.m. with an historical marker dedication in Pewee Valley at her former home, The Beeches.

PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
Since the City has not been able to obtain grant money for the project, the two new designs are less expensive than the last and can be done in phases. Both concepts leave the Caboose in its current location. Option A keeps the fire pit where it exists. The plan captures all the drainage with permeable pavers in the parking areas, and piping the runoff back to the existing stream in Central Park and includes some storage capacity. In addition to the permable pavers in the parking areas and A.D.A. compliant sidewalks, Option B moves the fire pit location from next to the Caboose to across from Town Hall. The two plan options will be available for viewing at Town Hall, Monday through Friday, 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. A motion was made by Henry Walser to ob-tain pricing for Phase I. Paige Bjorn seconded the motion. All Council Members present voted in favor.Ordinance 1, Series 2017, An Ordinance Repeal-ing Certain Sections of Chapter 90 Regarding Dog Licenses - An old ordinance still in the City’s Ordinance Codification showed the City issued dog licenses. This has never been enforced. This is an amendment to the ordinance removing the dog license portion of Chapter 90, sections 90.16, 90.17, 90.18. A Motion for introduction of the first read-ing of Ordinance 1, Series 2017, An Ordinance Repealing An Ordinance Regarding Animals was made by Norman Schippert and seconded by Henry Walser. All Council Members present voted in favor.

Voegele has helped design a commemorative coin to recognize contributions to the construction fund for a statue of county namesake Colonel William Oldham.
Voegele said the 2.25-inch coins will provide a token of appreciation for anyone who has contrib-uted to the statue.
Oldham County Fiscal Court agreed to com-nmision artist Matt Weir to build the statue. It is expected to cost between $128,500 and $134,000. Currently, Voegele has raised $93,000 and sales of the coins may help raise the rest of the funding needed. A minimum donation of $35 is necessary to receive a coin. Colonel Oldham was an officer in the Revo-lutionary War and served as sheriff of Jefferson County, VA., which includes modern day Oldham County. He was among 120 members of the Colo-nial army who marched from Virginia to Boston covering a distance of 600 miles within 23 days. He also served under Geroge Washington at Valley Forge.

ADDED SERVICES ATCENTER FOR HOLISTIC HEALING
The Center for Holistic Healing in Pewee Valley is excited to announce they will now be of-fering Functional Movement and Massage Ther-apy. Marda Mills recently joined their team after relocating with her family from Chicago. In Chi-cago, she owned a very well respected Functional Movement and Massage Therapy business.

Marda has an innate understanding of the body through her years as an athlete, which she combined with a degree from the Wellness and Massage Training Institute to become a body-worker. After several years of practicing massage therapy, she realized many chronic injuries were rooted in dysfunctional movement. This realiza-tion led to additional certifications including: NeuroKinetic Therapy ™, Barefoot Training and Rehab, Rocktape, FMS, Restorative Breathing and Structural Integration. Marda is a board certi-fied, licensed massage therapist. She charges $75/hr for both movement and massage therapy and will tailor your session to best suit your needs.
