I knew when I relocated my children to Rappahannock County over eight years ago that they would thrive in this wonderful environment, despite the many warnings I was given about moving to a small, rural town to raise my children. I am thrilled for all the opportunities they have been awarded. Without the assistance of educational organizations such as the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation or our own Headwaters Foundation, our many, many talented youth are not afforded the benefits of such wonderful, enrichment programs. I would like to thank the many exceptional people that dedicate their existence to enriching and teaching our children, and to this embracing community for all the love and support it has given to help raise them. A special thanks to Ms. Toni Egger for all her diligent work with Headwaters, as well as recognizing the talents of and supporting our county's phenomenal students, and to Ms. Delcour for being such an inspirational teacher to both my children, and for writing this lovely article.

Long hill on a country road, 25 mph, and a huge crash at the end of a fun 2 hour session. (They were wearing pads and helmets!) They had the best time! Now they have the memories, and scars, of a great Summer vacation. My boys went longboarding with their uncle in Woodville this summer.

It is the most difficult thing to watch, and to live around. God knows that I don't know what she's going through. But I can tell you that one of the symptoms is neurological. Her brain functions have turned her into a completely different person. She screams at people she once loved, she is bitter and extremely negative. Her husband and I have watched her struggle, and we too struggle with this disease. I only hope that a better cure is found. My aunt has lyme disease.

I too wrote a letter to the editor regarding Lymes and am currently suffering from the disease. The CDC guidelines for treating Lymes are outdated...so thank you for posting the ILADS link. My family doctor, whom I adore, after reading my Western Blot, diagnosed me as not having Lymes per the CDC guidelines. Fortunately, because both of my daughters were very sick with Lymes and on the PICC, I was educated enough to know the questions to ask. I had 3 positive bands and knew immediately I needed to call an infectious disease specialist. He diagnosed me and according to my lab work, I have chronic Lymes...this was not a new infection. Within 48 hours I was in the hospital with a PICC Line surgically inserted. 2 weeks later I am still very sick but slowly on the road to what will be a very long recovery. If I had not been my own advocate I could have ended up critically ill. My eyes have been affected as well as my heart...the reason the PICC went in immediately. It will be my mission, when I am better, to educate the public as well as doctors with patient's testimonials regarding Lymes! The CDC must change their out-of-date guidelines and doctors need to educate themselves with the disease and not be so rigid when treating their patients. They must look at all their symptoms then follow with labs...how many people are there suffering because of their Lyme Illiterate doctor? I could have been one of them. Lymes has become an epidemic and needs to be treated and acknowledged as so! Thank you Erwin for posting the website information regarding Lymes.

It means so much to me! I just wanted to make sure that I corrected the article on the fact that it was not Miss Alaska's father who passed away, but rather Miss Nebraska's. It was incredible how the girls all came together to support her through it and also how much closer it made all of us! Thank you so much again for everything! You all have been so wonderful to me and your support has honestly meant more than you will ever know! Wishing you all the best, Samantha Casey Anita,
