Hi, Bill,
This Beagle is dutifully awaiting his master's return from shopping nearby.

Hi.
My name is Tommy Sexton from Edmonton. I took this picture of a storm coming through Edmonton on June 29, 2001. Thanks.

Hi.
Over the past few weeks Glasgow's West Water Street has grown a couple of blocks. The underpass view looks west, second view looks east.

Bill,
This is a picture taken under a floral altar prior to a wedding that was conducted Saturday afternoon. I thought it was unique with the altar appearing like a frame.

Hi, Bill,
This Fence Lizard was just sunning himself and grabbing an occasional ant or beetle. Notice the camouflage he uses. He can change patterns and colors as needed.

This is the Glasgow Little League 12 Yr. Old & Under Tournament Team that just won the District 14 Championship, held at Temple Hill July 9-15!

Glasgow will play their first game Tuesday at 8:00 against Union Co.

Hi Bill,
It looks as if the cardinal is a little upset that the gray squirrel has taken over the feeder. Everything worked out fine as the squirrel let the cardinal feed also.

Hi Bill,
It was hot and it was humid, but, on the Glasgow High School parking lot, the choreography was excellent. School may be out, but band practice continues. This group was practicing and their synchronization was wonderful.

Helen Mowery brought us these photos from the recent Balloon Classic, held in Bowling Green. She flew in Kathy Lee's Adventures Aloft balloon. Helen says this was the 10th year for the event and they had the only all-female crew. Rainy weather forced the cancellation of two of the three main events, but everyone had a great time anyway.

The WebMeister got this photo early Monday morning just east of Glasgow. The fog cleared out shortly and the forecast looks like another hot week with rain for the weekend (who knows? maybe they'll change their mind before then)...

Wayne Pedigo got this photo to the WebMeister. Wayne planted these Sunflowers to help "feed the wildlife." This beautiful field is on Wayne's farm on the Goodnight-Hiseville Road near Hiseville.

The "American Heart Walk Barren County 2001" Planning Committee met Tuesday at T.J. Samson for a Recruitment Leader Kickoff luncheon. Members of the committee discussed the team recruitment and fundraising strategies for the October 13 event. The American Heart Association invites everyone to get involved and help raise money to stop the #1 killer in our nation! If you or someone you know are interested in forming a team, obtaining further information or making a donation to this year's event, please contact Kristen Bale, Event Chair at kbale@glasgow-ky.com or Elaine Richardson at erichard@glasgow-ky.com.

This is a 12 Yr. Old & Under Tournament Team that just went undefeated to win a tournament held at Burkesville Aug. 3-5. The championship game was a nail-biter with this team defeating a Campbellsville team 7-6 in extra innings. Front row: Tyler Perkins, Michael Vandiveer, Tyler Morris, Drew Kuzma. Back row: Kasey Hurt, Kent Bulle, Lucas Mohon, Kelly Hurt, Justin Shirley (Cassie Vaughn was absent from the picture due to injury). The coaches were Freddie Bulle and James Morris.

Joe Donahue sent us some photos of flowering cacti. Here's one of the pics. By the way, this one was named "opuntia phaeacantha flowering."

Motorola Field Engineer Grant Heyward from Pennsylvania is visiting the EPB this week. He's shown here with some of the components for the upcoming digital cable service enhancement. Digital cable TV will be available to city cable subscribers this fall and to the county subscribers over the next several months.

The Keltics recently traveled to Lexington for a weekend of soccer in the 2001 Bluegrass State Games. The team, made up of 12 players from Glasgow and Barren county, played three games and competed in the Bronze Metal Round of the competition. The players on the team include:

Rear left to right: Tres McGuire, Charlie Fant, Jake Morrow, Charlie Mudd, Luke Johnson, Tyler Morris. Front left to right: Hayden Black, Donald Gilreath, Will Beard, Adam Hammons, Grant Robards and Matthew Trautman. Theteam was coached by Sean Goulborne with Craig Trautman and Kevin Morrow assisting.

Shelia Hogue told us about this guy. She saw him on the way to work Thursday. She says that cars were slowing down to figure out exactly what it was sitting in the field near the intersection of the W. Scrivener Road and 31-E South. Sasquatch?

Hi Bill,
Have you ever driven down a backroad early in the morning and observed a beautiful blue flower nodding in the wind alongside the road? The flower (shown above) is Chicory. The leaves can be used in a salad and theroots are well known as a coffee substitute. The people of southern Louisana use it mixed in with their coffee.

David Downing got us this picture Wednesday. He says that this group gets together through the summer for tennis every Wednesday. It just so happens that this was Jack Goodman's 80th birthday! (It's Joe Downing's birthday, too) Shown in the photo are:

Kelly Ash & Connie Beasley got us this picture recently at Abraham Lincoln's Birthplace. The park is near Hodgenville. The area was recognized as a national historic site in 1859, became a "National Historical Park" in 1939 and the "Abraham Lincoln National Park" in 1916.

My husband (Sam Hunter of American Martial Arts Academy) and four of his students are in Austria competing against 83 countries for the USA Karate Team. Sam was chosen as an Assistant Coach but ended up coaching the team fights yesterday, leading Team USA to a Silver Medal. Of our four students, Tyler Maxey (a Glasgow High School Senior) is competing (and actually won) for the Gold/World Champion! Would you mind to put something on the Glasgow home page about this significant accompishment?Thanks.

Congratulations to Tyler Maxey, winner of the Gold! (details here)

Shawn & Debbie Perkins emailed us this photo.It was taken recently at the Tennessee Aquarium in Chattanooga. Their little daughter, Amanda, looks pretty excited by these fish.

Hi,
The Myers family just got a new Webcam and this is Lane's reaction to seeing himself on the screen. We thought it was funny. --- The Myers Family

Hello,
My name is Klint Hawkins. I am 10 years old. A few weeks ago I passed by my kitchen window and this is what I saw!!!! I live on Dripping Springs Road.

This picture was taken September 1st, in Central City at the Everly Brothers' Homecoming. In the picture are Misty Hurt, Teresa Bertrand and Laura Bertrand. We mainly went to see Keith Urban, the Australian country music sensation and guitar virtuoso. We even spent a total of 7 hours on the shirts! Look really hard and you can see the sequins on the word "KEITH" that are hand-sewn, one by one! Hopefully, someone will be coming out in droves to see me perform this great thing we call country music one day!Thanks!

This was taken at the "Candlelight Vigil" on the square on Sunday night, hosted by Mayor Honeycutt. There was a very large crowd there with several prayers, "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes and everyone led in "God Bless America" before being dismissed.

This was taken at the "Candlelight Vigil" on the square on Sunday night, hosted by Mayor Honeycutt. The number of people attending was estimated at over 2,000.

Guess who won the friendly little wager?The photo above shows one possible outcome of losing a bet at the EPB. After some serious "trash talking," Wade England and David Downing came up with the challenge of an eating contest. The loser of the contest would have to wear a sash for one week around the office and also wear it one time when the guys went out to eat. As you can see, although David looks a little unhappy in the picture, they're still friends. By the way, the sash was designed by the winner. You'll have to ask David where the title "Lil' Miss Sally" originated.

Great looking start of the full moon!

This is a picture of one of the many butterflies we have that come to our Butterfly Bush. We enjoy watching them, but they are camera shy.

This is the week to visit Mammoth Cave National Park and go hiking. I suggest Cedar Sink Trail for beautiful reasons shown here along with coyotes and wild turkeys.

The WebMeister took this photo. You've probably already noticed all the places around town where the roads are being repaired and repaved. A part of North Green is ready to be paved, as well as other streets in Glasgow. Visit the City of Glasgow Public Works Department's Website, a part of the Glasgow Website.

Bill, attached are two pics from last Saturday's American Heart Walk. Thought you might oblige me again by making them the photos of the day on the site.

"The Barren County Heart Walk 2001 was held Saturday, October 13, kicking off at South Gate Plaza. Over 500 people braved the weather in order to participate in the event. The community goal was set at $30,000 for this year's fundraiser. That goal was met and surpassed when teams turned in more than $50,000, thus making the Barren County area the highest percentage increase at 66% in the tri-state region. Top team TJ Samson turned in more than $5,000, followed by South Central Bank offering more than $4,000 and Hart County Health Care, turning in more than $3,000. Waldeen Settle of South Central Bank was named the event's top walker, raising more than $2,300 personally to benefit the American Heart Assoication.

The planning committee for this year's event wishes to extend a heart-felt thanks to the people of Glasgow and Barren County who worked so hard to make this year's heart walk a resounding success."

Thanks for everything your company has done to help us promote this event!

Best regards,
Kristen Mitchell

Here is a Glasgow Halloween display. This one can be seen on Lexington Drive.

The BRAWA "Strut your Mutt" walk was Saturday, Oct. 20. Sparky from the Glasgow Fire Dept. came out to join the fun and help out with the walk. In the photo, he is being shown some obedience training.Glasgow Fire Dept. Website

These spooks were captured on film (well, as a digital image) recently over on Lexington Drive. You'll see more in the next few days.

These spooks can be seen in person on Cleveland Ave. You'll see more in the next few days. How about that - a house that's both spooky AND patriotic?

These spooks are out throwing a party in someone's front yard, dancing around the trees and causing all manner of spooky mayhem over on North Green Street. Looks like they're lit up at night, so you might want to cruise by then.

(1st email) Bill, Just wondering if you got a picture of our witch - She blew away last night!
Cathy Doty

(2nd email) That ol' Wicked Witch of West Brown flew away Wednesday night in the storm. She is not in a very good mood and doesn't want to come back out! I will have to do some fast and sweet talking to get her to come out of the trees below. Wish me luck,
Cathy

Here's a collage of various decorations for Halloween from all over town. Clockwise, from the upper left, they're at Humble, Preston, Creekwood, Cleveland and Davis. Here's to a happy and safe Halloween!

The folks from the Downing-McPeak Vision Center got us this photo. Doris Furlong is the Tin Man, Angie Benson is the Cowardly Lion, Bonnie Meek is the Scarecrow and Donna Davis is Glenda the Good Witch. Cool, huh?

Bill,
Thought you might want to use this photo. My son, Jeremy, and his friends, Nikki Matthews and Josh McKinney, built this in the field by our house. It can be seen on Jim Jolly Road. Jeremy works for Hartland Equipment so he made the tractor a John Deere! Don't feel obligated to use this, but we thought it was pretty neat! I still admire the work you guys do and we can't wait to have EPB internet service!!!

Thanks!

Monday Oct. 29, 2001 was "Flag Day" at American Engineers, Inc. in IDEA Park. The September 11th event convinced Ben Quinn to go ahead with his idea of placing a flagpole and flag in front of the office. The 15' x 25' flag is currently flying on a 60' pole. American Engineers staff, along with Mayor Charles Honeycutt, Co. Judge-Executive Freddie Travis and guests were on hand for the dedication and ceremony. Mr. Quinn noted, "We hope this brings a sense of pride, not only to AEI employees, but to the community of Glasgow-Barren County as well."

Dear WebMeister Anderson --

I took this in Mammoth Cave NP earlier this week. The fall colors are at their peak now -- it should be a beautiful weekend. Could you post this on the Website?

From last night's football game, Glasgow vs. Muhlenberg South. Number 3 belongs to Glasgow Scottie Nick Napier, son of Karl and Maureen Napier.

The WebMeister took this photo Thursday morning at Happy Valley Elementary. They were celebrating their annual Grandparent's Day. The theme of the 35-min. program was "Americans All," celebrating America's rich and diverse cultural heritage. The program included music of Native Americans, Germany, South Africa, Ireland, Israel, Korea and the Caribbean. It even included rap and a rendition of "God Bless the USA." Watch replays on EPB Cable TV!

Hi, Bill:
This was Nov. 4th at the corner of Ellis St. & Meadow Dr., new route and halfway point for the Turkey Trot 5-Mile Race. The fellow in the center won!

Hi, Bill:
It's been a beautiful several days. Here's a flaming red gold tree within Glasgow Municipal Cemetery.

Hi, Bill:
Among the highlights of Glasgow's Veteran's Day Celebration was a group of (about) 4-year-olds singing patriotic songs to the large crowd gathered on the public square. Note the "salute."

Is this the Soggy Bottom Boys? This picture is of Justin Gentry, Carmen Cook and Caitlyn Cook. They're each taking lessons from Ricky Burch.....

Hello. I'm emailing a picture that I will call "Ol' Friends." This is a picture of 3 ol' local girls that went to Temple Hill School all 12 years and were best friends. We decided that we should get together once a year and celebrate another year of life! We hadn't been together for 35 years. In the photo is Brenda Pursley Wyatt, Nancy Crowe Lyons and Sheila Proffitt Hunt. We had the best time and in lieu of September 11, we decided time is too short not to get together with "Ol' Friends."
God Bless, Sheila Hunt

Hello, Bill:
Old Glory flies above Glasgow's Fort Williams.

Rickey Pedigo got these pictures Thursday morning as several of the guys from the EPB's crews put up Christmas decorations around the square. Shown in the photos above are (L to R), Bennie Francis, Tony Alexander and Mike Pruitt. Glasgow's Christmas parade is Saturday, Dec. 1st.

Hi, Bill:
Mr. Ron Hogan, Kotzebue, Alaska, a member of this area's Mammoth Cave Amateur Radio Club, presented a wonderful slide program 10/16 on his family's visit to mainland China this past May. Ron is shown with two of his slides, one of The Great Wall and another of a portion of the Forbidden City. MCARC meets each 3rd Tuesday night in Glasgow and visitors are always welcome.

Glasgow/Barren County's Christmas parade was Saturday evening. Above, we see that jolly old elf Santa Claus and this year's theme winner, Michaela Madison ("Christmas in the Land of the Free"), always the highlight of the parade. Although the weather was cool, there was no rain (or snow) and record crowds. Happy Holidays!

The Grand Marshal at this year's Christmas parade was Rodger Bingham of Crittenden, Ky. (that's him waving from the back of the Avalanche). He was a participant in "Survivor II: The Australian Outback." The inset picture of Mr. Bingham is courtesy of George Katchak, who writes: "Roger Bingham stopped in at Wilderness Studio for a photograph just prior to the Glasgow Christmas Parade. Great guy."

In late November, a major solar storm resulted in aurora displays much further south than is typical. I shot this photo from a hilltop near Cave City, Ky. about 10:00pm. Photo specs: Minolta SRT-101, 55mm F 1.4, 1 minute exposure onto Fujicolor 1600 speed film.

The WebMeister got this photo Monday night. The Community Band was practicing at the Plaza Theatre for Sunday's concert. Here, you can see Mayor Honeycutt as he leads the band. The concert will be Sunday at 3:00pm. Make plans now to come out and hear the band and see the beautiful Plaza Theatre.

The WebMeister also got this photo Monday night (see the photo from 12/11 for a much closer shot - you can actually see the band). The Community Band was practicing at the Plaza Theatre for Sunday's concert. The concert will be Sunday at 3:00pm. Make plans now to come out and hear the band and see the beautiful Plaza Theatre. This photo was taken from the Plaza's balcony. The EPB will be taping and replaying the band's concert on EPB cable TV!

Bill,
If the rain doesn't stop, Santa is going to be slipping off a lot of roofs, like he has at our home! We heard him say, "Call T.J. Samson, I'm going to need traction!"
