Stuarts Draft, VA
Stuarts Draft, Virginia
Stuarts Draft is a census-designated place (CDP) in Augusta County, Virginia, United States. The population was 9,235 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Staunton–Waynesboro Micropolitan Statistical Area.

In 1749, Thomas Stuart purchased 353 acres (1.43 km) near the South River, a tribuary of the South Fork of the Shenandoah River. 'Draft' probably refers to the document drafting the land sale or is a reference to the river itself (draft is an old term for river or creek and is part of the name of several such in the area). The plain on the south side of the river tends to channel the wind, thus forming a rather constant draft.

Knock
Knock (short story)
"Knock", written by Fredric Brown, is a science fiction short story that starts with a description of "a sweet little horror story that is only two sentences long." It then goes on to elaborate on those two sentences and build a more complete plot around them.
It was published in the December 1948 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories. There have been three different radio adaptations (Dimension X, X Minus One and Sci Fi Channel's Seeing Ear Theatre). The story was reprinted in The Best Science Fiction Stories: 1949[1]
Plot summary
The first two lines are a complete short-short story by themselves:
- The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door...
The alien Zan have killed off all life other than pairs of specimens for their zoo of exotic Earth flora and fauna. Walter Phelan is the last man on Earth, but Grace Evans, the last woman, is not overly impressed with him and maintains her distance.
The Zan, who are immortal, become disturbed when one by one the other animals begin to die. They turn to Walter for advice. He tells them that the creatures have perished from lack of affection, suggesting that they pet the survivors regularly to keep them alive. He demonstrates with one of them. When the Zan begin to die, they depart the planet in fear. It is then revealed that the creature Walter advised them to pet was a poisonous snake.
Then Walter discusses the future of the human race with Grace. She is shocked by his proposal and leaves as he intended to use the zan technology left behind to create "the master race". The narrative then ends as it began:
- The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door...

Operation Christmas Child
At the beginning of November we started Operation Christmas Child. I was and still am very excited to be a part of this. It’s a great cause and lots of children are going to be happy and blessed with God’s love this Christmas. I love my job because our company is always raising money for something and that’s one thing I love doing.
At work we’re raising money for OCC, we ask customers if they would like to donate to OCC. With the money we buy items and fill the items in a shoe box for different age groups for boys and girls. The shoe boxes are picked up and off they go to their destinations. Each child gets a shoe box for Christmas, no not children around here or in the U.S. Children in other countries who don’t have anything at all. I love doing this because I am grateful for everything I had growing up as a child and grateful for everything I have now. Those children over there have nothing. Children around here and in the U.S. have Toys For Tots, Salvation Army, Angel Tree and I’m sure many many other organizations that makes sure they do not go without during Christmas. It’s a good cause and I am proud and happy that I get to be a part of it.
The more shoe boxes we pack the more shoe boxes each child will get for Christmas. I stuffed a shoe box full of Spider-Man items and put my name and photo and address in it. I hope the boy that gets it writes me back, that would be cool. Every child should feel the joy and love on Christmas.

"Grand Trunk Railroad Tunnel"
Long Description:
There is no shortage of deaths around this tunnel before it was closed. A fatal train accident that killed 2 firefighters here in the early 1900's . Then 10 men died during a lock 6
accident later on in the 1920's. 8 men were killed on site and then 2 more later on in hospital, and shortly thereafter another 8 workers were killed before
the tunnel was finally shut down and decommissioned.
Though some reports speak of confusing drops of water from the melting ice with whistling, other reports have mentioned that the whistling hummed a very specific tune.
Conversations have been heard coming from the tunnel’s east end, and music, early 20th century music described as coming from an old music box has been heard as well.
Official names for this tunnel during its usage have been "The Great Western Railway Tunnel", "The Merritton Tunnel", and "The Grand Trunk Railway Tunnel"
If visiting, take lots of pictures. There is an unexplained mist that might appear in many of them!

Update
Well, I have installed Windows Live Essentials 2012 which comes with Windows Live Writer so now I can update my blog. I haven’t updated it in quite awhile.
I’ve been working a lot, work keeps me busy but I love my job. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and at work we’re raising money for Breast Cancer Awareness. Each store in our company has a goal of $600 to raise. Well, we have exceeded that goal. Last time my boss checked we had $900 something I think. We’re so close to $1,000 and I hope we’re able to get it too. I only did $2.15 last night in donations because I wasn’t busy at all and had very little customers.

In Memory of Heather Lee Santor
In Memory of Heather Lee Santor
I have known Heather for a long time. She was such a wonderful person. I loved her dearly, she was such a great friend to me and was always there for me. She was my Manager at the Kangaroo, my friend, like family to me. I heard the news and just couldn't believe it. It seemed unreal, impossible. But unfortunately the news was true. I keep thinking what if I could have been there to save her or could have warned her somehow. People keep talking about people's death is predestined and when people are born they are dealt a number and when its your time to go your time is up. But I don't want to believe that, I mean Heather was only 39 years old, too young to be gone. I wish these truck drivers would pay attention when they're driving. That truck driver wasn't paying attention and 2 people's lives were taken because of his inattention and carelessness on the road.
Heather will be greatly missed. She always had such a great attitude and was always happy and smiling. She was such a positive person. She was the kind of person who would give you the shirt off her back. She was such an unselfish person and she loved her family very much.
I will greatly miss her, she will always be in my thoughts and she'll never be forgotten.
I love you Heather, I'll never forget you. God has another angel in heaven, may you rest in peace.

Wreck leaves hero with wrenching memories
By Joe Beck
Harry Hamilton Jr. was a shaken hero Monday after pulling one passenger to safety from a flaming wreck Friday night on Interstate 81 near the Kernstown exit in Frederick County.
Hamilton said he was grateful to have saved the life of Zackary Santor, 18, of Staunton, but the horrifying sights and sounds of watching two other passengers die inside the 1998 Jeep Cherokee have robbed him of sleep and some of the satisfaction he might otherwise have gained from his dramatic actions.
Santor's mother and the driver of the Jeep, Heather Lee Santor, 39, and Acoye M. Breckenridge, 18, both of Staunton, could not be rescued, despite the efforts of Hamilton and two others he identified as off-duty firefighters.
A tractor-trailer rear-ended the Santors' Jeep while it was stopped in southbound traffic near a road construction site at about 7:48 p.m. The Jeep then plowed into the rear of a Chrysler PT Cruiser driven by Hamilton's daughter, Jenelle Embrey, 45, of Linden. Hamilton was in the passenger's side of the front seat.
The driver of the truck, Lance W. Anderson, 43, of Hudson, S.D. received a summons from state trooper B.G. Davis for reckless driving, according to state police spokesman Sgt. F.L. "Les" Tyler.
Hamilton, 66, of Winchester, said he had a "couple of cuts" on his hands from breaking the window on the passenger's side of the Jeep and helping Zackary Santor scramble out of the vehicle.
"He was like in a daze," Hamilton said of Santor. "I grabbed him and took him out of there. I remember he was sort of like pedaling a bicycle with his feet going, trying to get out of that window."
Hamilton said Zackary Santor was crying "mom, mom" after climbing out of the vehicle.
As Hamilton then tried to decide how to rescue Heather Santor and Breckenridge when the two other people stepped in to help, he said. They used a fire extinguisher and that started to bring the fire under control for a few moments, but the extinguisher quickly ran out of spray and "then the blaze roared through the whole vehicle," Hamilton said.
"That boy watched his mother burn to death and his best friend in the back seat burn to death," Hamilton said of Zackary Santor. "It's something that's going to take a long time for me forget about."
Hamilton said the impact of the accident sent the Jeep 250 feet down the road and the PT Cruiser 300 feet. He estimated the truck traveled 500 feet.
"We were spinning around in circles and then the truck hit us again," Hamilton said.
Hamilton said he emerged from his vehicle about 60 feet away from the Jeep and immediately dashed to the stricken vehicle. He said he found out later that Heather Lee Santor had managed to unbuckle her son's seat belt before passing out.
Hamilton said he estimated only about 25 seconds elapsed between the time he ran to the Santor vehicle, and the time it was completely swallowed in flames.
Hamilton criticized the Virginia Department of Transportation for what he regards as a lack of signage warning approaching drivers of construction farther down the road.
"I don't know why whoever was working on that road didn't have advance warning flashing lights set up before traffic was stopped," he said. "I think that's one of the dumbest things. Whoever was responsible for those to be in position should have watched those people burn to death. They might have some different thoughts."
Edwin Carter, an assistant residency administrator at VDOT's Edinburg residency, said it would be "hard for us to comment" until seeing the state patrol's report on the accident.
Carter said someone tasked with monitoring the work of road contractors went to the accident scene after it was reported.
"He did respond to that. I'll need to talk to him to find out what he observed when he got there," Carter said.
Another I-81 motorist who said she saw the road ahead of her explode into a fireball as she came upon the accident said she agreed with Hamilton. Linda Meyer, of Leesburg, said the area needs more and better advance warning of the construction site
"I have to agree with him," she said when told of Hamilton's remarks. "It was pretty dark. I didn't see any flashers or signs that there was roadwork ahead."
Meyer added that she was traveling in the northbound lane opposite the side of the roadway in which the accident happened. She didn't know whether there were any signs in the immediate area of the accident.
Hamilton likened the psychological effects of his experience to that of a combat veteran from Afghanistan, Iraq or Vietnam.
"I've been taking sleeping pills myself," he said. "I'm telling you I wake up 15 to 20 times a night."
Meyer called Hamilton's actions heroic, but Hamilton can't shake the wrenching emotions he felt as he watched two people die before his eyes.
"I just wish I could have done more," he said.

I know many of you will be probably be rude as hell after reading this article and make stupid ass comments that are not necessary and will not help the situation. With that said, I would like to say that, yes her son is the one that is the suspected shooter BUT, her family needs support as well and thankfully they are getting it from their church. They are going to need support because stupid ass people are probably going to start calling their house threatening them or show up at their house and all sorts of other negative things could happen to them or to them because of the whole situation. Remember though, the parents didn't do this and they shouldn't be treated like they did. Their son is the one who opened fire on people in a theater, he did this, not them. My thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and families of the Aurora Shooting but my thoughts and prayers also go out to James Holmes parents right now in this tough time.

Staunton caregiver's abuse leads to horrific end for man
This is an article written in The News Leader, my local paper. It was Written by
Brad Zinn. Here's the link for the article ---> http://www.newsleader.com/article/20120331/NEWS01/203310319/Staunton-caregiver-s-abuse-leads-horrific-end-man?odyssey=tab%7Ctopnews%7Ctext%7CFrontpage+DontMiss
I copied the article because after awhile The News Leader links to articles don't work anymore. So here's the article. This is just awful. I just couldn't believe what I was reading.
Staunton caregiver's abuse leads to horrific end for man
STAUNTON — When 85-year-old Russell Beach, malnourished, bruised and deathly ill, was finally admitted to Augusta Health in the spring of 2010, it was the first time he had seen a doctor in three years.
A second-grade dropout who worked for the Virginia Department of Highways in menial construction jobs and as a flagger, in the mid-1990s Beach was retired and living in a dilapidated Verona mobile home when he met Jeannette V. Hymes, a caregiver who would convince him to come live with her at her North Jefferson Street residence in Staunton.
Fifteen years later Beach, who never married or had children of his own, died on May 29, 2010. Hymes, 50, pleaded guilty Friday in Staunton Circuit Court to a felony charge of abuse and neglect of an incapacitated patient.
In court, Staunton prosecutor Raymond C. Robertson painted a disturbing picture of Beach's last few years of life spent in filth and disease, his bank accounts raided, his body battered with hypothermia that left him so cold doctors could not get a temperature reading in May 2010.
"She treated him like a dog," Robertson said a witness told him.
Hymes now faces the possibility of a 10-year prison term when sentenced.
On May 26, 2010, Beach was taken to the emergency room at Augusta Health in Fishersville by Hymes, who told physicians Beach had fallen after trying to stand when a dog spilled hot coffee on his foot. But Robertson said Beach was incapacitated and could not walk, despite Hymes' claims that he was mobile and used a walker. Police searched Hymes' home and did not find a walker, a wheelchair or even a cane, the prosecutor noted.
Robertson said fresh bruises and cuts were found on Beach, along with four broken ribs and a hip fracture. Numerous bedsores, known as pressure ulcers, covered parts of his body. Beach also suffered from malnutrition, and Robertson said doctors noted his hypothermia was "consistent with lying in a cold place for a long period of time."
A toe injury, doctors concluded, appeared to have been caused when Beach was dragged over an uneven surface "like stairs," Robertson said. At least eight wounds, which Robertson said closely matched the shape of a belt buckle found in Hymes' home, were discovered on the victim's skin.
Beach died three days after being taken to the hospital. An autopsy noted his numerous injuries, including blunt force trauma to the head and gangrene, and listed the cause of death as sepsis, a bacterial infection.
"It rots you from the inside out," Robertson said.
Robertson said one of Beach's femurs — the largest bone in a human's body — was so soft that it "crumbled" in the hand of the pathologist.
The autopsy concluded Beach's death was a homicide, Robertson said.
Staunton police investigators initiated a probe and discovered Beach's blood on a steep set of basement stairs in Hymes' home, and said Hymes was both reluctant and guarded when initially questioned, according to Robertson.
When asked where Beach slept, Hymes first showed authorities a bedroom with feminine hygiene products on a dresser. A second bedroom where Hymes claimed Beach stayed had a picture of rapper Tupac Shakur, Robertson said.
As it turns out, Beach was kept in the basement of Hymes' home, Robertson said. One witness said Beach's "bed" was a dog's blanket in front of Hymes' washer and dryer. Officers also discovered a mattress in the basement, which Robertson said reeked of "ammonia and urine."
During a series of police interviews, Hymes denied Beach lived in the basement but finally admitted he'd been living there for a "couple of years," Robertson said.
Despite telling police that Beach was provided with plenty of clothing, Hymes could only produce two pairs of pants, one with a 42-inch waist and the other with a 36-inch waist, neither of which fit Beach. She also described the diet she reportedly fed to Beach, but officers did not find the foods that Hymes listed, Robertson said. Except for a bottle of headache reliever, no medications were in the home at the time of Beach's death.
In a police interview played in court, Hymes denied abusing Beach. "Why would I want to try and harm him?" she told police.
Asked about his numerous injuries, she responded, "He bumped himself all the time."
Robertson said before the emergency room visit in May 2010, Beach hadn't seen a doctor for more than three years.
Robertson also said for at least 11 years Hymes collected Beach's Social Security and retirement checks from his bank accounts. The checks totaled $1,400 per month.
Following Friday's hearing, Circuit Judge Humes J. Franklin Jr. ordered that Hymes be held without bond at Middle River Regional Jail pending sentencing.
