Barbara Barr's Column

This past Sunday, stream monitoring was held at the Taylorstown bridge. This project was headed by Kristi Larson.


Historic scrapbook: Everyone in the area is encouraged to bring their historic photographs to Ann Larson at the Taylorstown Frame Shop. These will be put in a scrapbook, which will be for sale at the craft show the first weekend in December. Also, individual photographs will be available for sale. The Waterford Historic Group recently invited the Taylorstown Historic Group to its meeting at the Old Waterford School. The two groups have decided to develop and inactive Web site.

Successful mission: the Mission Team from Mount Pleasant UMC met at the home of Johnny Wilt in Taylorstown to construct a ramp and walkway for him so that he would be much safer when using his motorized wheelchair. Johnny is unable to walk; however, he "supervised" the construction work by watching from the porch. He truly enjoyed having the people around and the camaraderie and teamwork during the construction, the lunch and the cleanup was great. Lesson learned is that you are never too young to help. One little guy, Byrce Lang, about 5 years old, came prepared to help with his "own" shovel.

Operation Teddy Bear: Operation Teddy Bear was a success and because of the article in the newspaper since people in other local towns called and asked to participate in the donation of stuffed animals to the orphanages. More than 300 stuffed animals were collected and hand delivered to Richmond.

Town council: If you are interested in holding a position in the Taylorstown Citizens Association, please contact Tammy Carlow at 540-822-5939.

Happy birthday: Happy birthday to Phyllis Spinks and Joe Tyrrell.
