Kentucky Afield TV – the envelope please
By Charlie Baglan
It happens. You put your heart into a
project and nothing. Your best goes for
naught – and it’s not the first time. Look
till you turn blue, but “Atta boys” can be
few. This; however, is the story of two.
The first goes to “Kentucky Afield”
TV’s Nathan Sangster and Tim Farmer.
The second is for graphic artist Obie
Williams. The nods came in a big envelope
from the National Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences’ Ohio Valley
Chapter marked, “Emmy nominations.”
(Nobody in TV ever confuses these with
junk mail.) With the grin on their faces,
you’d think they had just been Oscarnominated.
Being honored by the best in
your biz makes you feel as if your fifteen
minutes have arrived and Ed McMahon
has bellowed it so. It’s Brobdingnagian
(you can Google it).
The pieces all the rage are the new
radically rocking show open Obie designed
somewhere in a dream along with
Tim and Nathan’s “Cooper, the blind dog.”
Keith Parker appointed new
Engineering Division director
Keith Parker is the new Director of the
Engineering Division. Keith is a Professional
Engineer and has been employed
since 1992 with the Department. He is
very familiar with the development projects
that the Department initiates and is
eager to work with all the divisions. Please
congratulate Keith and welcome him to
the non-merit world!
Airing originally in February, 2008, it’s
about the bond between man and beast.
This German shorthaired pointer is the
companion of Clark County’s Mike Cole.
It’s a touching story. Sorry, it’s an Emmyworthy
feature that we repeat as often as
Slone lets us. Of course, you can see Obie’s
awesome open on every show.
“Good job” doesn’t quite say it, but
seeing good guys coming to work with
purpose and confidence – not just a lunchbox
– does.

Specialist III for the Engineering Division.
