Glasgow

Wow, what a storm that rolled into town on Friday afternoon! Wind, rain and hail, downed trees, or tree limbs, moved outbuildings and even the porta-john at the Farmers Market moved about 4 feet. Most of the damage was located on Kanawha and Virginia streets and down towards the river. I only heard of one household being without power for awhile, which is amazing. I didn’t hear of any injuries due to the downed trees. The Randy Smith home on Virginia Street had a tree fall on part of his place. Members of the fire department went door to door checking on folks. 06/21/2023 12:00 AM

Collierstown

On Sunday, June 18, Pastor Greg Gertz was the guest speaker at the 11 a.m. worship service of the Collierstown Presbyterian Church. His sermon was entitled “How to be a Proactive Dad.” During the children’s time for discovery led by Rosalea Potter, a video prepared by the fathers in the congregation was shown. The ages of those speaking spanned five decades. The men shared what they thought were the greatest things about being a dad and how fatherhood had enriched their lives. Following the worship service lemonade and cookies were provided by the Worship Committee and enjoyed by all on the church’s front lawn. 06/21/2023 12:00 AM
