Karyn Gardner, (540) 228-2176, (540) 655-3646 [email protected] A herd of elephants was spotted stampeding down Arnolds Valley Road this past Saturday! Dozens of wild elephants bombarded their way off the mountain and stomped across Campbell Bridge before disappearing somewhere down on Greenlee Road. Some people reported feeling the Earth shake as the elephants trampled by.
HAHA! April Fools! Hoping everyone had a good laugh and a fun and safe weekend!
Congratulations from their Virginia family and friends to Daniel and Shambray Gardner in Logan, Utah, on the birth of their first child, a daughter, Ivy Lynn Gardner. Daniel is a son of Dr. Richard and Naomi Gardner. Little Ivy is also my and my husband’s first niece and she is just as cute as a button!
Sending birthday wishes to Catherine Dudley, Jason Hickman, Alex Carroll and Steve Wells.
Sending well wishes to Courtney VanOsten and Virginia Bennington.

Many thanks to Dave VanOsten for leading a Liturgy of the Palms service this past Sunday at St. John’s as well as to Bert Buford and Josh Gardner for providing music for the service. Palm leaves were given out and after processing from the parish hall, congregants participated in the service by reading aloud the Passion from the book of Matthew. Many thanks to Anne Henderson for hosting coffee hour! Coming up at St. John’s Episcopal Church, a service for Maundy Thursday will be held on April 6 at 6 p.m. and please join us for our Easter service on Sunday.

Coming up later this month at the Glasgow Life Saving and First Aid building at 710 McCulloch St., a low-cost rabies vaccination for your pet (dog or cat) provided through donations of vaccine, veterinarian and staff, will take place on April 22, from 1 to 3 p.m. The cost will be $10. All proceeds will be donated to Glasgow First Aid. You will be expected to provide identification showing name and address, preferably a driver’s license.
For a three-year certificate, you must have the certification from the previous vaccination by state law. If not, your animal will be eligible only for a one year certificate. Dr. McDermott will make eligibility determination.
You and your pet remain in your vehicle. This will be a drive-thru clinic. Cats must be in a carrier. We are thankful for the Natural Bridge Animal Hospital and the Glasgow Life Saving and First Aid Crew Inc. for their participation in this community service. For any questions, call (540) 460-6903.
