Strings of Erin Making a name for themselves on the local folk and music scene, Strings of Erin comprises two talented sisters.

“My sister is a classically trained violinist, and I play the harp and sing and tell stories to music,” says Katie Daniels, who along with sister Bethany make up the group.

“Bethany is concertmaster of the Bowling Green Youth Orchestra, and we also have performed at the Glasgow Musicale. There are a lot of opportunities here, and I think we’ll continue to have a lot of chances to perform.”

Welcome to Glasgow An introduction to the area’s people, places and events

The Show Goes On Opened in 1934, the Plaza Theater started out playing the show The Cat’s Paw for the low admission price of 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children.

Over the years, the Plaza has undergone several changes in ownership and physical appearance to continue offering a contemporary theatrical experience.

In 2001, the city of Glasgow purchased the Plaza for $200,000 and renovated it with government grants, city funds and individual contributions. Today, the Plaza presents events, either booking performances that will be successful or renting the venue to groups to produce their own shows. The Plaza also rents out its Marquee, dressing rooms, inner and outer lobbies, balcony and more.

Where Fishermen Flourish Barren River Lake is the perfect location for all kinds of aquatic activities as it encompasses more than 10,000 acres.

Barren River is home to several popular camping areas including Bailey’s Point, The Narrows and Tailwater. All three campgrounds offer amenities such as individual water and electrical hookups, playgrounds, volleyball areas and more.

Boating is another beloved activity on Barren Lake as it offers boat ramps at all recreation areas including Barren River Lake State Resort Park, Peninsula Marina and Walnut Creek Marina, to name a few. While camping and boating are popular, fishing is the most enjoyed activity thanks to the Lake’s fishing piers and its variety of fish. Among these fish are striped bass, crappie, brim, largemouth bass, hybrid bass and numerous kinds of catfish.

Covering more than 180 acres next to the Barren River Reservoir, the Brigadoon State Nature Preserve in Barren County offers visitors a natural retreat. The land donated for the Brigadoon State Nature Preserve originally came from a land grant dating to the American Revolution, and the Preserve derives its name from a mythical Scottish village that appears out of the mists once every hundred years. The Preserve’s unique origins are surpassed only by its natural wonder as it offers rich woodland scenery filled with numerous types of trees, more than 120 species of resident and migratory birds, a mile-long hiking trail through ridge tops and open ravines, and an array of spring wildflowers, many species of which are rare.

Fast Facts

Established in 1880, the Ralph Bunche Community Center originally opened as a Barren County School unit. In 2005, the Glasgow Board of Education voted to sell the former school to the Liberty District Association, which transformed the school into the Ralph Bunche Community Center. The Center operates to educate and empower high-risk youth and at-risk adults through various means including mentoring, career consulting, academic tutoring, and behavioral and financial counseling for individuals and families. The center provides a safe and stimulating atmosphere for everyone in the community to enjoy recreational and educational activities that foster a greater appreciation for cultural diversity, intellectual achievement and active, healthy living.

n Barren County is one of the state’s top producers of milk, burley tobacco, alfalfa, beef and dairy cattle.

Milking Success Glasgow is home to some of the finest dairy farms in the southeast. Among these farms, Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese and Bluegrass Dairy and Food, Inc. stand distinct.

Kenny’s Farmhouse Cheese began in the 1990s out of Kenny Mattingly’s concern that milk would decline in value as a commodity. Summoning an entrepreneurial spirit, Mattingly decided to use the farm’s milk to produce cheese using handmade techniques.

Since the beginning of this venture in 1998, Kenny’s has gone from producing 4,000 pounds of Gouda annually to 70,000 pounds of a variety of cheeses today such as Colby, Asiago and Havarti.

Bluegrass Dairy and Food Inc. is a primary supplier of specialty ingredients to the food industry including cream powders, churned butters, butter powders and cheese powders. Bluegrass’s extensive production capabilities enable it to produce ingredients with numerous physical characteristics.

Bluegrass’s commitment to quality has earned it numerous awards including Tennessee Governor Phil Bredesen’s Award and Best in Class in the 2010 World Championship Cheese Contest.

n Glasgow and Barren County enjoy an average temperature of 60 degrees. n The Glasgow Highland Games celebrate the Scottish and Irish heritage of Glasgow each year on the weekend following Memorial Day. n Glasgow has been recognized as one of the 100 Best Communities for Young People

by America’s Promise Alliance.

A Buried Treasure Mammoth Cave National Park is home to the world’s longest known cave system with more than 390 miles of this underground wonderland explored. Visitors have flocked to Mammoth Cave since 1816 to tour its winding, subterranean labyrinths and enjoy the cave’s majestic limestone formations. Today, Mammoth Cave receives more than 300,000 visitors each year. To better accommodate these visitors, Mammoth Cave has begun a $14 million project to renovate its visitor center, which is more than 40 years old. This new 12,000 square-foot visitor center will be three times the size of the original and will provide cave tour ticket sales; interactive displays teaching the cave’s history, ecology and geology; an exhibit space; and a local tourism information center. The new visitor center is slated for completion sometime in 2012 after it receives proper LEED gold certification.

Glasgow Big Band For more than a decade the community’s music lovers and performers have come together in the Glasgow Community Band, which performs on the square in downtown Glasgow, holds an annual Christmas concert at the Plaza Theatre, and puts on other performances as its members’ schedules allow, says Bill Brogan, the band’s current director.

“We play for the Veterans Day banquet, and provide music for the ceremony downtown at the parade,” Brogan says.

Many band members are current or retired musicians as well as 10

current high school students who take top honors for their abilities.

There’s also some crossover with the Barrens Big Band, which plays at retirement homes and various civic-group events.

“We’re up to five doctors now, three attorneys, six band directors and some other teachers, so we’re an unusual bunch,” Brogan says.

Concert on the Square Classical music aficionados get their fill when the annual Concert on the Square brings well-known regional symphony orchestras to town for a concert on the Friday night before July 4. Begun in the

late 1990s, the concert has gotten so popular that it brings several thousand locals and visitors to town for what has become a summertime must-attend event, says Randy Edwards, who chaired the event from 2009 to 2011.

“Every year it’s just gotten to be more of a tradition for folks,” Edwards says. “We keep pretty strict guidelines about the music, which is light classical that’s easily recognizable in the first half, and then patriotic for the second. The orchestras have been great to work with. And we try to add one or two new things every year just to keep it fresh.”

George J’s on the Square Located in downtown Glasgow, George J’s on the Square is known for hosting a variety of talented performers and musicians such as the Kentucky Ridge Runners, Steel Country Band and Jenny Lu’s Klassic Krew, to name a few.

New owners Daniel and Angela Neukomm have plans to make the legendary local eatery a hub for entertainment, and are well along on their way to making that happen.

“We are endeavoring to become a regular nightspot,” Daniel Neukomm says. “Our goal is to have every Friday and Saturday

night full with a live band, and so far we’re booked up well into 2012.

We will be featuring local bands, but also get some bands in from the Nashville area and elsewhere so we can bring in some outside talent as well.”

The Neukomms have built a stage and installed new sound and lighting, so look for George J’s to become a touring stop for not only local talent, but regional and national up-and-comers as well.

hanks to Glasgow’s Regional Post-Secondary Education Center, area residents can count easy access to higher education as one of the many benefits of living in Barren County. Opened in 2002, the center houses satellite campuses for both Western Kentucky University (WKU) and Bowling Green Technical College (BGTC).

“Residents place a high value on our center because it truly does meet a need,” says Dr. Sally Ray, director of WKU-Glasgow.

faculty positions and degree programs as well as food service for students.

Both administrators attribute their schools’ growth to a reputation for personalized education.

“Our faculty genuinely care about students,” Ray says.

“They’re interested in what’s going

on in students’ lives, and they’re approachable and helpful.”

The same holds true at BGTC. “We make teaching and learning a top priority,” Baldwin says. “We have small class sizes and faculty and staff who are committed to student success.”

But the schools’ presence

Feeding the Community’s Growth Both WKU and BGTC offer a variety of academic programs at the Glasgow location. Nursing, elementary education and agriculture are the most popular of WKU-Glasgow’s 20-plus degrees and certificates.

BGTC-Glasgow students can earn a degree or certificate in one of eight industrial-maintenance fields, and the school offers custom training for local businesses.

Thanks to a joint-admissions agreement signed in summer 2011, students also have the option to earn an associate’s degree with BGTC, then transfer to WKU to complete a bachelor’s degree.

With so many options on the table, it’s no wonder that both campuses are seeing tremendous growth.

“We’ve added several degree programs and recently expanded our evening course offerings,” says Ron Baldwin, coordinating administrator for BGTC’s Glasgow Technology Campus.

To accommodate WKUGlasgow’s growth, Ray is adding Left: WKU-Glasgow Regional Center Right: Students work with microscopes at WKU-Glasgow.

doesn’t just benefit students.

“WKU-Glasgow and the Glasgow Technology Campus are the primary pillars of economic development in our community,” says Dan Iacconi, executive director of the Glasgow/Barren County Industrial Development Economic Authority (IDEA).

“They make the local environment more conducive for existing industries to expand and future industries to locate here.”

Leading outsourcer Sitel,

for example, opened its newest contact center near the campus in March 2010. The facility provides customer support for retailer Best Buy and employs more than 700 people. Many of those employees are students, but Sitel has also hired a number of people from the community at large.

“Sitel has helped to diversify our economy and provide employment for individuals who are looking for something other than traditional

manufacturing jobs,” Iacconi says.

For WKU-Glasgow’s Ray, it’s not surprising that the college’s presence would facilitate this kind of community-wide benefit.

“While we’re here primarily for our students, we also provide a connection to the community in terms of economic development,” she says. “Whether it’s offering educational opportunities or attracting new companies, a university provides tremendous benefits.”

Outlook Glasgow/Barren economy grows, diversifies for the future

Story By Laura Hill Photography By Antony Boshier

T

he slowly recovering national economy has made for challenging times in GlasgowBarren County, but thanks to economic development efforts, the future of the local economic scene is brightening.

While the past several years brought layoffs and a few losses, new industries are locating in the area while existing businesses are expanding.

“We have been slowly coming back and we haven’t lost any of our major industries,” says Dan Iacconi, executive director of the Glasgow/Barren County Industrial Development Economic Authority (IDEA). “We have a lot of work to do, but we’re feeling very positive.”

Good Economic News in 2011 The area welcomed major successes in 2011, Iacconi says. In October, Fortis Manufacturing, a subsidiary of Canada-based Betatech Inc., announced plans for its first American manufacturing facility in Glasgow.

The 80,000-square-foot plant in the Highland Glen Industrial Park is a $5 million investment that will bring 100 new jobs to the area.

Akebono Brake Corporation planned a $20.6 million, 66,000-square-foot expansion of its manufacturing plant, adding 200-plus new jobs. Sitel, a call center, expanded its workforce to more than 700. AtCorr Packaging Products opened in Glasgow in 2011, bringing 10 new jobs. And Med-Care Pharmacy, a pharmaceuticals provider, moved its 100 employees to an expanded facility.

“The location is very convenient for us, in the medical community near the new loop road and T.J. Samson Hospital, which is growing,” says Med-Care human resources manager Cindy Garrett. “We’re pleased with where we are. Barren County has very good prospects.”

Balancing Barren’s Existing and New Businesses The key to growing the local economic base lies in serving the needs of existing businesses

Gla s g o w

“Existing industry is the backbone of our local economy.” while attracting new businesses, Iacconi says.

“It’s critical to strike the right balance between the two,” he says. “Existing industry is the backbone of our local economy.”

What keeps existing businesses and newcomers alike happy is a combination of improved infrastructure, outstanding location and transportation, a well-trained workforce, education and the community’s health care including a community-owned hospital.

“We are centrally located within a day’s drive of half the nation’s population,” Iacconi says.

“We have put in the Veterans Outer Loop, which will complete a large, four-lane corridor that encircles our entire area. We have cutting-edge industrial parks with 5- to 150-acre lots available, and warehousing facilities from 5,000 to 343,000 square feet.

Education and Innovation Education is a critical part of the economic picture, Iacconi says. IDEA works closely with the Glasgow Regional Center, home to WKU-Glasgow and the Glasgow Technology Campus to meet the needs of area businesses.

It also actively seeks to diversify the local economic picture with an eye toward agriculturerelated businesses, biomass and renewable energy, pharmaceuticals, and other high-tech industries.

“Innovation and creativity are what the world is about these days,” Iacconi says. “You must be able to out-innovate your competition.”

Chamber Report Glasgow/Barren County Chamber of Commerce blends business and community in South Central Kentucky

E

very year, more families and businesses come home to Glasgow-Barren County. Worldclass agriculture, small-town hospitality and an outstanding education system make South Central Kentucky an ideal place to live, work and play.

Bringing new business to the region – and strengthening existing ones – is one job of the Glasgow/Barren County Chamber of Commerce.

The organization has played a major role in the business and community development of scenic southern Kentucky since 1929.

South Central Kentucky Business Expo The Chamber hosted its second annual South Central Kentucky Business Expo in February 2012.

Located in the 24,000 squarefoot Cave City Convention Center, the event included keynote speakers, community leaders and representatives from more than 70 local businesses.

“The expo serves a number of different purposes,” says Ernie Myers, executive vice president and chief operations officer for the Glasgow/Barren County Chamber.

“It allows businesses to show themselves off to the public, but it’s also a business-tobusiness function.”

Agriculture in South Central Kentucky Building on the success of the business expo, Myers plans to add a regional agricultural expo by 2013.

“Agriculture is possibly the leading single business within the community,” Myers says. “We already have events such as Dairy Day and the Cattlemen’s Festival, and we hope to consolidate and bring all these farmers together in one place, so they can show their wares and the public can better understand farming. We’re in favor of anything the farmer does and try to support it highly.”

In the Community Every two months, area businesses participate in the chamber’s Small Business Roundtables, bringing business owners and community leaders together to share ideas and collaborate on future growth.

Small business programs and ribbon cuttings also are works of the chamber, and staff plan year round for community events including The Taste of Barren County, ice cream socials, the Christmas parade, and the crowddrawing, bagpipe blaring fun of Highland Games and Celtic Fest.

“Glasgow-Barren County is an easygoing, tip-of-the-South community that is incredibly friendly and accepting,” Myers says. “We’re definitely open for business.”

Healthy Progress T.J. Samson serves residents well

R

esidents can relax knowing they have plenty of choices in health care in Barren County.

The area provides a number of services and facilities to treat and educate patients.

T.J. Samson Creates More Options T.J. Samson Community Hospital is a 196-bed, acute-care facility that serves the southeastern Kentucky region, and the hospital and staff are dedicated to the health of the community.

Groundbreaking began on the T.J. Health Partners Clinic that will house 30 new physicians in 100,000 square feet of space. Other additions include T.J. Health Pavilion ambulatory care center in an old Walmart store and a 10,000-square-foot community center for health education.

In January 2012, the partnership between Walmart and T.J. Health Partners LLC resulted in The Clinic at Walmart, which will serve patients’ basic health-care services. The clinic is the first

walk-in health clinic in a Walmart that is owned and operated by T.J. Health Partners.

In addition to facilities, the hospital’s specialties include oncology, family medicine, pediatrics and orthopedics, and more. T.J. Samson also offers a cardiac care center, a sleep disorders center, and women’s and children’s services.

Cardiac Care Close to Home In the cardiology department of the hospital, cardiovascular procedures, such as cardiac catheterization and emergency coronary angioplasty, are performed by highly specialized physicians who can also implant pacemakers and defibrillators.

Through a working relationship with Jewish Hospital in Louisville, the hospital’s telemedicine clinic allows cardiac and thoracic patients to receive continuity of care via an interactive audio/video system and real-time sharing of patient data.

Food Favorites Always find great food in Glasgow-Barren County

T

he plentiful food options in Glasgow-Barren County can please even the pickiest of palates.

From authentic Mexican favorites to traditional steak houses, there’s always something to try.

Step into Los Mariachis Mexican Restaurant and you’ll think you traveled south of the border. Los Mariachis’ menu is stuffed with traditional Mexican cuisine including tamales, fajitas, tostadas and some of the cheesiest quesadillas, tacos and enchiladas.

You can pile on the steak, chicken, shrimp and fish or choose from several of their tasty vegetarian dishes.

If you still want more, head on over to Puerto Vallarta. Although the authentic Mexican restaurant has only been on the scene for a short time, manager Rodrigo Alonso says they’re already raking in customers. Their delicious steak fajitas are one of the many delicious dishes that keep people clamoring for more.

savory Caesar salads and homemade yeast rolls. Colton’s also serves a variety of seafood including fried catfish, mesquitegrilled salmon, pan-seared tilapia and grilled or fried shrimp.

Art, Music and Meals If sandwiches, clubs and burgers top your list, then George J’s on the Square is the place to be. George J’s has been serving breakfast, lunch and dinner in the Glasgow community for more than 100 years, and prides itself on being a part of the town’s historical tradition.

Gourmet hamburgers, rib-eye steaks, salads and sandwiches are a few of the menu items that keep customers coming back year after year.

But Daniel Neukomm, who co-owns the place with his wife, Angela, says there’s one particular dish that stands out among the rest.

“The chicken salad is by far the most popular,” he says.

On Friday and Saturday nights, customers can listen to local and regional bands while they eat.

At Fine Arts Bistro, which serves as home of the Arts Guild of the Barrens, you can enjoy fine food and fine art. Customers can eat their portabella wrap and chicken fajita soup or a grilled chicken Cobb salad while enjoying the artwork of local artists.

Other local favorites include A Little Taste of Texas and Garcia’s Grill.

The Applebee’s in Glasgow hasn’t been around long either, but manager Wayne Pence says business couldn’t be better. When searching for a new location to add to the popular franchise, Pence says the company looks for places that have a hometown, neighborhood feel.

“Glasgow fit the bill perfectly,” he says.

Over at Colton’s Steak House & Grill, another popular franchise, customers can choose from excellent steak and rib dinners,

Cultural Pearls Glasgow’s Plaza Theatre, arts district and historic attractions make it a hub for culture

G

lasgow and Barren County are a regional hub for arts and culture, thanks to the community’s abundance of attractions featuring music, theater, art and history.

Plaza Theatre Glasgow’s renowned Plaza Theatre continues to impress visitors with its grand architecture and performances by national acts. Local performers and comedians also grace the stage of the Plaza Theatre, and an active community theater group called the Far Off Broadway Players presents three productions there each year.

The Plaza Theatre first opened in 1934 and was restored to its original grandeur with a $1.8 million renovation that began in 2001.

It reopened to a sold-out crowd for a Patty Loveless concert in 2005.

Arts District of Glasgow In November 2011, a steering committee made up of business owners, community volunteers and representatives from the City of Glasgow, Plaza Theatre and Far Off Broadway Players submitted an application to the Kentucky Arts Council to create a certified cultural district in Glasgow. Pending approval in 2012, the result will be the Arts DoG (District of Glasgow), a state-recognized cultural district that will benefit from increased tourism marketing and economic activity.

Glasgow Historic Attractions Get schooled on local history and have fun while learning at the South Central Kentucky Cultural Center, a 30,000-square-foot museum packed with fascinating artifacts that tell the story of the

people, places and events that make up the geographic area known as The Barrens.

The cultural center is located in the old Kentucky Pants Factory in downtown Glasgow and offers a Harvest of History Tour every September. The tour takes place at the Glasgow Municipal Cemetery, and costumed actors bring history to life by portraying local historical figures.

“The first Harvest of History Tour was in 2010, and we feature eight or nine prominent people of Barren County who are buried in the cemetery including a photographer from the 1800s, a farmer who took care of horses for the Jesse James gang, music and art teachers, and war heroes,” says Gayle Berry, director of the South Central Kentucky Cultural Center.

Another place overflowing with history is Fort Williams, the site of

a Union Civil War fort that was attacked by Confederate soldiers in October 1863. Visitors to the site can read historical markers and see cannons and a replica of the fort.

Annual Events Glasgow is named after Glasgow, Scotland, so it’s only natural that one of the Kentucky city’s largest cultural events is

Scottish in nature. Each year, the Glasgow Highland Games draws more than 10,000 spectators the weekend following Memorial Day and has been a local tradition since 1985. The energetic festival features a pipe and drum competition, harp competition, Celtic music, dancing and traditional sporting events by professional athletes such as the

caber toss, hammer throw, wrestling and more. The games are recognized as one of the Commonwealth’s Top 10 Annual Events by the Kentucky Tourism Council. Two other events that bring the Glasgow community together and draw lots of visitors are the Glasgow RenaissanceMain Street Cruise Into Fall Car Show and the Roller Coaster Yard Sale. The car show happens the second Saturday in October in downtown Glasgow and attracts more than 350 motor vehicles of all makes and models. The event celebrated 10 years in 2010.

The Roller Coaster Yard Sale began in 1985 and happens the first weekend in October. The yard sale spans 150 miles from Cave City into northeastern Tennessee, around Dale Hollow Lake and back to Kentucky.

Shoppers can find great deals on crafts, antiques and local produce while enjoying colorful fall foliage.

Nature’s Playground Outdoor recreation includes caves, parks and more

R

ecreation adventures await you in Barren County. The area is full of caves and caverns just waiting to be explored, and there are plenty of parks, lakes, swimming pools, sports complexes and camping areas for outdoor fun.

Mammoth Cave National Park Barren County is probably best known among outdoor enthusiasts for Mammoth Cave National Park, the world’s longest surveyed cave with 365-plus miles of mapped passageways. It draws millions of visitors each year with its fascinating formations, vast chambers and sheer size – hence the name Mammoth.

Visitors to Mammoth Cave National Park can embark on their choice of 16 cave tours led by trained guides. The tours range from an Introduction to Caving experience for beginners to the Mammoth Passage Tour, the Historic Tour and the Frozen Niagara Tour.

Diamond Caverns in nearby Park City is another natural wonder that shows off nature’s sculptures.

Barren County Parks and Trails Another popular attraction is Barren River Lake State Resort Park, which offers 1,500 acres of hiking, cycling, horseback riding, tennis, volleyball, golf, fishing, swimming and more. If you can’t get enough of the park, spend a night or a week camping at its 99-site campground, or book a room at the park’s 51-room Louie B. Nunn Lodge. There are also 22

contemporary cottages equipped with tableware, cooking utensils and linens.

At the park’s Driftwood Restaurant, diners enjoy hot meals featuring salmon, trout, crab clusters and juicy burgers.

Walkers and joggers get some exercise on Glasgow’s Renaissance Trail, a 2-mile path through town that highlights historic sites. It connects to the Liberty Street Walking Trail, a paved, lighted, half-mile trail that circles the historic Liberty Street Campus downtown.

The Beaver Trail Softball Complex is another place to walk or jog on its paved half-mile trail. A playground and four lighted ballfields are also part of the popular complex. Runners enjoy the rustic nature trail at the 23-acre Weldon Park, which has half-mile and 1-mile

lengths. Weldon Park is also home to a Little League Baseball field, a picnic shelter, playgrounds and public restrooms.

Golfing in Barren County Golfers have plenty of courses to choose from in Barren County at affordable rates. Barren River Lake State Resort Park has an 18-hole course that runs along the lake and through the park’s woodlands.

Fox Hollow Golf Club is another 18-hole course that features Bermuda fairways and bent-grass greens. It is owned and operated by the Shipley family, who are longtime golfers. The course incorporates ponds, streams, sand bunkers, wooded areas and natural grass areas.
