Suppose a distant relative who retired to Florida passed away and left you a family home that had been closed up for years. Since you already have your own home, it's an easy decision to just go ahead and sell it after a quick cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. Your next decision (and probably the worst one in your life!) is to hire a couple of teenagers in the neighborhood to clean it out. Remember that old expression about throwing the baby out with the bathwater?

I've been thinking about chocolate-covered cherries lately. The tiny treats have symbolized my childhood Christmas mornings, and my mother always had several boxes scattered out on the counter when we came downstairs. We never had to ask if we could have one.

While reading about the possibility of using selected students as school bus drivers in Shenandoah County and reading some opposition to that idea, I thought of the "men and boys" in a Stephen E. Ambrose book and a particular lady I met last summer.

Ethan William Ellsworth of Phoenix may have been born with a malformation of veins in his brain, but his heart couldn't have been more perfect. Ethan's condition -- arteriovenous malformation -- was undetected until his brain suddenly hemorrhaged one night, sending the otherwise healthy and happy 71⁄2-year-old boy to the hospital for diagnosis and emergency surgery.

African American history in the Shenandoah Valley is as old as the history of any of the other early settlers to the area: the Germans, Dutch, English, French Huguenots and Scots-Irish. Many of these European settlers arrived as indentured servants to the British colonies, as did many early Africans, but by the mid-18th century Africans were being brought to Virginia as slaves intended to serve the duration of their lives to their masters, unless emancipated.
