A Saturday night blaze at 110 Trent Street Princeton originated in the basement. Chief Keith Gunnoe said firefighters gained control within about three minutes and rescued a person trapped inside before securing the scene. The fire remains under investigation.
A Bluefield article notes Ukrainian immigrant families carried the Easter egg art, Pysanka, to America. In Elkhorn they built St. Mary’s Orthodox Church about a century ago, later sold to another denomination, while a new Bluefield church serves the community. Egg dyeing, wax resist batik, and family techniques like the drop and pull stroke reflect regional and familial rituals passed from mothers to daughters since early settlement. Pascha aligns with Julian calendar dates.
Bronwyn Owen recalls hearing of pysanky and Bailey teaches the bead wax script on eggs. The process uses blown shells, wax pin strokes dipped in dye to create patterns like the crown of thorns as eggs are slowly colored from light to dark. Bailey offers classes year round, noting women traditionally practice the craft but men can learn too. Charles Boothe reports from the Bluefield area.
Grundy, the county seat of Buchanan County, benefited from a $200 million flood control and town center project that relocated portions of the town and rebuilt a four lane U.S. 460. Walmart and other stores anchor a growing center on 13 acres, with two parcels left for development. Local leaders credit federal state and private partners led by Congressman Rick Boucher for saving the town and enabling a post flood recovery marked by new businesses and increased tourism.
