"The Dogloving Programmer"

The local events are presented with pictures.  There are quite a few of these pictures and they are shown as fairly small thumbnail images of a larger image.  If you want to see the larger image, simply click on the thumbnail image with the left mouse button.  To return to the listing of pictures, use your brower's back button.  Some of the larger images may also cause an advertising banner to be displayed. 

Most of the pictures on this site have been taken with an Olympus Digital Camera model C-2020Z and then the thumbnails produced with a separate process, or the thumbnail image that is embedded within the camera's generated image is extracted and used.  There are also some pictures that make use of the camera's capability of generating a panoramic view (combining multiple shots into a single picture), or a separate program that also provides this capability.  If you are interested in any of this, let me know via email  (mailto:process@artheimsoth.com) .

If you would like to print any of the pictures, feel free to do so.  I only ask that you let me know via email (mailto:pictures@artheimsoth.com) that you have done (or will do) this and if the printed picture will be published that a reference also be included to this web page as the source of the picture.  If the picture you want to print is on a page that also includes advertising, right click with the mouse on the picture and then select the option to print the image from the drop down menu.  Due to the size of the pictures, you may also need to print them in landscape orientation instead of the normal portrait orientation.

From time to time there are events that take place in Cole Camp and the surrounding area.  I try to capture much of the activity of these events in pictures and then put them on this site for others to enjoy.  If you know of Cole Camp, or have friends or family here, then you can also enjoy some of our local events even if you cannot attend in person.  If you live in the area, there may be a picture of something you missed.  If you are interested in finding out more about the area and its Genealogical history, check out the Benton County site located at http://members.aol.com/hrftx.

If there is an upcoming event that you think others would enjoy seeing some pictures of, please let me know of it (mailto:events@artheimsoth.com) so I can schedule my time and try to capture the event in pictures.

Events that currently are available with pictures are:

• 2000 Plattdütsches Theoter - a performance entirely in Low German by the local residents.  More information can also be found on the early settlers to this area in the German Settlement of the Cole Camp Area page at: http://members.aol.com/hrftx/Germans.htm

• 10th Annual Sängerfest Festival - a musical performance by German choirs from Cole Camp, Concordia and Kansas City.

• Cole Camp Fair - 2001 - the annual event of a country fair by the community, consisting of floats, exhibits, food and drink, and entertainment.

• 10th annual Antique Steam and Tractor Show - this year's showing of many old and not so old tractors used for farming in the area.  Many are fully restored, others are real original, and some are still being used on a daily basis.

• Cole Camp Scenes - some pictures of the area showing the beautiful colors in the area, including some that have been especially arranged for the season.

• Cole Camp Volunteer Firefighters Appreciation Day - some pictures of the Fire Department Appreciation Day event.

There also are some simple (and not so simple) program files I have written and are available for the taking.  If you are interested in any of them, please refer to the description file for each program to see the terms under which I am making them available.

I have generated all of the web pages on this site, and in some cases a page may also use CGI/Perl utilities that I have developed.  If you are interested in a web site but don't know where to start, or don't want to take the time to develop it yourself, please email me for help and/or my services.  Initial information is at no cost - if you do not have a web site address reserved, I can help you get your own named site, or help you with a free site.

Okay, so what about the free programs? - I do programming and consulting as a profession and also as a hobby. Over the past few years I have written some OS/2 and Windows 95/98/NT REXX programs for my own usage, and since they were helpful to me and a few others, I have made them available to anyone that wants to use them. See the list and links to other OS/2 sites I have used and found helpful. If you are interested in some REXX or ObjREXX program help, let me know. I currently use it on OS/2, Windows 95/98, and Windows NT.  The packages that are on this site are primarily for OS/2, but some are also available for Windows 95/98/NT by request from me.
