His early work included clay pots and sculptures created with locally dug clay, plein air landscapes, and whimsical farm scenes. In more recent years, Ken has been delving into the art of printmaking, inspired by Harlan Hubbard, a Kentucky artist and writer famous for his self-sufficient lifestyle on the Ohio River. A multi-faceted artist, Ken also works in digital media and has been combining his traditional prints with modern technology to create animations. His one-man show at the Augusta Art Guild, “Old Meets New: Traditional Printmaking + Digital Media” will be a showcase of his traditional prints with this modern twist. The exhibit will take place at the Augusta Art Guild Gallery, 116 Main Street in Augusta, Kentucky from April 6th to April 22nd. The gallery will be open every weekend from 1-4 p.m. with an Opening Reception on Friday, April 6th from 6-8 p.m. For more information, visit www. AugustaArtGuild.com. Trash Talk by: Mr. Recycle Bin & Ms. Pick-Up Litterbug 606-735-9960 Howdy Folks! After 49 days in St. Elizabeth Hospital, Edgewood, we are finally home! It has not been an easy time for Larry and he still has much recovery ahead of him, but the Good Lord has seen fit to bring us home and we cannot be happier! Larry was so very excited when we began getting his clothes on him for the trip home and he was still very upbeat when he got into the house, but disappointment set in when he got to his room. Unfortunately we had to get an air flow bed for him to replace his old bed. He was so very much looking forward to that part of being home. We hope that someday we can return to that, but for now he remains out of routine even though he is home. Life can sure throw some curve balls and for the last two months, Larry has had a whole pitching machine full of curve balls coming at him, but we are sure many of you are in the same situation. We pray that sooner than later, adjustments can be made for him and for each of you. This article is much abbreviated due to our dismissal from the hospital and subsequent quest for prescription medication, feeding materials and a host of other roadblocks. We sincerely appreciate all the help of our children and grandchildren to get us home, but also for the many weekends spent at the hospital so that we could come home for the brief weekend periods. Our hope is to get back to work this week and the first item on our agenda is the Spring Road Clean. The roads definitely need to be spring cleaned. Stacy Florer and the crew of the Bracken County Road Department have given us tremendous help with the recycling trailers and taking care of the roll-off dumpsters. Our arrival home was very much saddened by the death of our longtime neighbor and friend Charles McAtee. Everyone should have a neighbor like Charles and his family. The very first time Larry was admitted to St. Elizabeth on February 13th, we were given a semi-private room and it was around six in the morning when we made it to the room. The curtain was drawn between the beds so it was with utter disbelief when we discovered Larry’s room mate was none other than our very own neighbor, Charles McAtee! We were moved to another room and Charles left the hospital a few days later, only to return about a week later. It was at that point that the decision was made for Charles to return to his own home where he succumbed to cancer this past early Sunday morning. We will miss Charles terribly and send our sincerest and heartfelt expressions of sympathy to all his family. As we celebrate Easter this Sunday, we pray that the Risen Christ will bless each of you with a most joyous day. Please continue with your efforts to RECYCLE, REUSE and REDUCE to keep God’s earth clean, green and beautiful!
