After months of construction on Main Street in Staunton and dealing with the Gensing Creek Box Culvert, there's nothing left to do besides stare at the beautiful work done by the city workers for this project. On Monday, June 10, 2024, Mayor Craig Neuhaus had amassed a rather large crowd on all sides of the street so that they may witness the official Ribbon Cutting that this city and community have patiently waited many months for.

Like soft toed slippers, the world of children falls so gently into time. Here chosen guides are called to dedicate themselves to all that's beautiful within the small one's soul, so eagerly moving-in life. As love begins there in a garden gate that opens into joy, and where Faith and trust as spoken once the Master's footsteps passes by. I found this so in the children's prayer. The night was long and had no mind to pray and so in faith and my own soul's peace I simply said, "Now I lay me down to sleep. Pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I...

By: Jill Pertler I have difficulty recognizing faces. Always have. It comes from an inability to “see” things inside my head. The technical term is aphantasia, and I’ve written about it before, so I won’t belabor it here. Suffice to say, the inability to visualize affects numerous aspects of life, including geographical skills (or lack thereof), memories (which, for most people, are very visual) and the inability to recognize people (or more specifically faces). Aphantasia causes a plethora of repercussions, but most people with the condition a...

Compliment three people each day. Watch a sunrise at least once a year. Look people in the eye. Say "Thank You" a lot. Say "Please" a lot. Live beneath your means. Buy whatever kids are selling on card tables in their front yards. Treat everyone you meet as you want to be treated. Donate two pints of blood every year. Make new friends but cherish the old ones. Keep secrets. Don't waste time learning the "tricks of the trade." Instead, learn the trade. Admit your mistakes. Be brave. Even if you're not, pretend to be. No one can tell the...

The rules in place...

This years race is scheduled for Saturday, July 13, at 9 a.m. Sullivan Drugs in Staunton is still looking for people willing to donate some time for this event. Hopefully, Staunton will respond the way they always have and g...
