Kentucky Color - Great Blue Heron teenager 2012-08-06 - Crocus Creek, Amandaville, Cumberland Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. Judging from the markings this is a Great Blue Heron teenager that was fishing in Crocus at Hopewell Acres recently. The Great Blue Heron is almost always by himself when he is feeding. They never hang out with any of their friends except when breeding and nesting. You might see other birds close by but usually not another Great Blue. - Billy Joe Fudge Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Favorite old Greensburg, KY photo 2012-08-06 - Greensburg, KY - Photo from Larry Smith collection. Larry Smith, FM 92.7 The WAVE Radio, found this color photo of an event on the Square in Downtown Greensburg, KY, ca 1960s, he thinks. He wasn't sure what the event was, and wasn't able to identify any of the faces. If anyone can help, please send using the "Comments" button with this photo. - CM. Update August 7, 2012: Looks like the Bicentennial in 1967. The barefooted fellow looks like my friend Clinton Kelly - BILL COLLINS. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Favorite old photo: Safety check in the 1950s? 2012-08-06 - 100 Block E. Guardian Street, Columbia, KY - Photo from Larry Smith collection. Larry Smith, 92.7 The WAVE radio high above the Russell Creek hills on Road Eighty, found this old Columbia photo in his collection. He didn't know any of the people in the photo, but from the recognizable property around, it would be on East Guardian, behind what is now Downey's Eye Clinic and would have been in a period after the Post Office was moved there. The second parking lot, bounded by the little 1951 Chevrolet coupe to the two tone would have been Houchen's overflow parking, we think, putting the year at around 1958. The white house was the Dagwood Gore, if earlier, Louis & Betty DeRossett, if later, home. In all likelihood the Safety Check was by civic club, auto dealership or church, from the way those fellows were dressed. Any help or comments will be welcome. - CM Best guess so far comes from a known informant whose cover we are sworn to keep. She writes: My guess is Gaspard Brockman for the man with the flat top who is the far right of the men. Standing in front of the car is Hartsell Hodges, I would guess. It will be interesting to see what others guess or think. The man in the suit could be Herschel Toms, former dean at LWC, but not as sure about this one.

Our Lindsey Wilson College Olympian in London: Danny Caluag, 2012-08-06 - London, England, United Kingdom - Photo from David Grigsby. Lindsey Wilson BMX Cycling star, All-American Danny Caluag, looks over the starting hill of the Olympic track on Sunday, August 6, 2012. Caluag, a Californian with dual United States/Philippines citizenship, is competing for the Philippines. He's the first ever Lindsey Wilson Athlete to achieve this highest of all athletic honors as an Olympic competitor. It's another crowning achievement for the sport which most defines Lindsey Wilson's athletic programs - all spectacularly outstanding - in so much of the United States. And to put it in perspective: Competition in cycling, unlike other sports, is broadly based. Lindsey Wilson Cyclists compete against schools whose football, soccer, and basketball programs are NCAA Division I! When a Lindsey Wilson cyclist is All-American or the cycling program is regularly included in the top five teams in the nation - it really means just that - in all the United States. They're the best in America, regardless. No qualifiers! A huge, huge difference for every medal, every honor, every title the amazing Blue Raider cyclists bring back to Columbia! - CM.
