The beauty of an icy morning in Greene County

A Friday night ice storm covered most of Greene County with a glistening cover of ice early Saturday morning. While the ice created problems for motorists, it did provide for some beautiful photo opportunities.

The final cut version of the documentary "Goose Pond: The Story of a Wetland and Its Neighbors" was viewed Thursday night in a private showing at Carnegie Arts & Heritage Center of Greene County in Linton. Executive producer Bill Barnes, a 1964 graduate of Linton-Stockton High School who lives in Charlotte, N.C., says the airing of the 58-minute, 30-second long documentary was to give people who appeared in the film a chance to see it and make sure everything is just right. "If they like it and don't find any red flags, then I think we are good to go. That's what this (viewing) is all about," Barnes said in pointing out that it's taken years of planning, interviewing, filming and editing to get to this point. "I've been pleased with it for about the last three weeks finally. I'm happy with it right now ... it was almost overwhelming. It was hard to put together. We were almost a solid year editing. It's costly and it's rewarding in the fact that I think it looks good. I hope the people like it. I hope we sell a lot of DVDs to get the level of interest in Goose Pond up." A second private viewing was conducted Friday evening. The film traces the history of the Goose Pond Fish and Wildlife Area from its pre-historic beginnings as a glacier basin 125,000 years ago to its current day restoration as one of the Midwest's largest wetland areas. It also talks about the tremendous tourism and education potential that the 8,000-plus acre fish and wildlife area possesses. Barnes is optimistic that upcoming efforts to market the documentary to television and cable networks will be successful. Click here to view the opening segment of the film.

It is a moment etched in our collective consciousness. And for most of us, if we close our eyes and concentrate, we can recall moment-by-moment where we were when we first heard about the September 1, 2001 attacks. September 2011 marks the 10th Anniversary of the attacks. The Nashville TN produced music video - We're a City on its Knees - pays tribute to the victims, their families and first responders.

Jeff Richfield, producer of the project, hopes that the video will help the victim's families of 9/11 in a profound way by offering hope and healing.

He wrote We're A City On Its Knees months before the 9/11 attack out of a place of his own struggles that stretched his faith. He was asked to play the song live May of 2001 in Washington D.C. at our nation's capital. He has now launched it as a movement of prayer and justice that ultimately will reach out to all cities in need of prayer.

Wilma Shouse McBride is modest about her artistic creative abilities.

But looking around the Worthington Community Building on Tuesday night where many of her oil paintings were on display, her talent on canvas can't be disputed.

The display was part of the Tuesday in the Park concert series that was moved indoors because of inclement weather.

The paintings of the 94-year-old Worthington woman feature multi-color flowers, seascapes from the Texas gulf coast, scenes from her early days in Worthington, and her favorite James Whitcomb Riley poems scenes.

The paintings in the display, which all have a special personal story for Wilma, are all normally on display in every room of her home.

The 10th annual Aluminum Pour at the Sculpture Trails Outdoor Museum near Solsberry was hosted Saturday.

There are 2 1/2 miles of walking trails that feature 60 large sculptures crafted by artists from around the world.

Director Gerard Masse says new sculptures have been added to the park in the last year and the grounds are getting more mature accepting the pieces and the space. The video shows scenes from the designing and pouring of sculptures that took place on Saturday during a full-day workshop.
