A Story by Matt Pace

GreenWoods, Inc

 

In the southwest corner of Floyd County lies a place called Buffalo Mountain, with a history steeped in equal parts natural rarity and shocking folklore. At 3,971 feet in elevation, the hump-shaped mountain towers above the surrounding landscape to offer visitors a soul-hearty view, thanks largely in part to the open glades at its peak. These grassy areas are ecological islands of scarcely-found plant species, born of unique weather conditions and magnesium-rich soils. And so far as infrequent sightings go, if you want to spy a particular insect known as the Buffalo Mountain mealybug, there is no other place on earth to do so.


A book compiled by Deborah Carrino, with and Introduction by Marilyn Green

Published by Prometheus Books, 59 John Glenn Drive, Amherst, NY 14228, www.prometheusbooks.com.

            

Deborah Carrino, Karen's sister, is an artist who resides in Floyd, Virginia located in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

 

Karen Carrino’s ink and pencil drawings, oil and watercolor paintings, and clay sculptures of children reveal a depth of feeling and a level of craft that are remarkable  in such a young artist. Her tragic death in a 1972 car accident, just a few days after her nineteenth birthday, is all the more poignant in view of the artistic legacy she left behind.

As electricity costs continue to soar; using solar energy becomes more practical. David Zachow says now is a good time to make the move.

            Zachow operates Direct Connect Solar & Electricity on Diamond Knob Road. He installs grid-tie and off-grid photovoltaic solar systems.

            Solar panels produce DC electricity for use in your house. “With a grid-tied system, as you produce electricity, you electric meter runs backward,” Zachow explained. “Any excess amount is fed to the grid so you are supplying AEP with electricity. If you make more electricity than you use, it is credited to your account and carried over to the next month.”


Shayley Grace Martin prefers her more mature writings, that is those that she did in the past year as an 8-year-old, rather than her primary school work.  Nonetheless when she expressed interest in turning her writing into a book, her mother, Lydeana, wanted to include samples of Shayley’s work dating back to kindergarten. “We struck a deal,” Lydeana explains, “Shayley agreed to include some of her ‘older’ work as long as I would add an index that tells how old she was when she wrote it.”
