Capon Bridge has lost one of its oldest citizens, Dorothy Swisher, the widow of Grayson and the mother of five children. The Swisher family touched many lives. Grayson, who died a few years ago, drove generations of our children to school every day. Dorothy was a witness to much of the early history of Capon Bridge and provided valuable material to the Capon Bridge Library for their recent book “Bridges Spanning Time”. Dorothy passed away on May 10 at the age of 98. She was born in 1926.

The Capon Chapel Easter Sunrise Service led by Pastor Karen Tate delivered the message to all of us: HE IS RISEN! It is a message that has resounded down through the centuries and around our world. but never grows old because it delivers the promise of Eternal Life. Twelve members and friends attended the service and gathered around the cross outdoors to decorate the cross with flowers and palm greenery.

Spring arrived in all her glory on March 20, when the vernal equinox took place. It is wonderful to see a faint green color creeping over our yard as it wakes up and begins to show new life. Soon the peepers will wake up and begin their spring chorus. It is time to look for our returning bird species and to clean out our bird boxes as well. The state is restocking our trout streams for the dedicated fishermen.

I am hoping for a Robin sighting soon. Last year I spotted two of them on a sunny afternoon in the latter part of January. My hopes have been dashed so far. If you have seen them already, cheer us all up and tell us about it. Congratulations to Bryan Brill on his appointment as County Commissioner. He is an excellent local person and has the energy and stamina required for the job. We need new energy and ideas. He has a real love for his home county.

We seem to be losing our premier citizens at an alarming rate. They have contributed so much to their communities during their lifetimes. Onile Smith of Loom passed away on Jan. 28. She was the second half of Smith’s Orchard and Fruit Market that provided fresh fruit and vegetables to our local communities and beyond. Our hearts reach out to her family and friends in love and sympathy. Nancy Mowrey Wolfe of Delray died on Jan. 26. She was much loved by her family, friends and community.

Snow storms and freezing temperatures have a way of slowing the world down and bringing our basic needs to the front. Food, water, medications, and a warm Place to shelter are at the top of my list. If I have these four items I am fortunate indeed and thank my God for providing for my needs. Companionship, new reading material and yarn are extras I enjoy when spending a lot of time indoors. Electronic gadgets are not high on my list.

Our next service was a service held at North River Mills on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2024 at 10 a.m.We had an unpleasant surprise on Christmas morning. My grandkids and son should have enjoyed an early breakfast at my house prior to a big meal at Joyce’s home later in the day.

The Light Up Capon Bridge Celebration held last weekend was a big hit with everyone except the folks traveling on Rt. 50 at the time of the parade. Local citizens enjoyed the opportunity to strut our stuff and show off our town. I think we need to slow up and savor every moment of the holiday season. We can get caught up in the hustle and bustle without remembering just what it is all about.

Those present were Carol Fultz, Joyce Oates, Rick Ark, Julie and Amanda Greene, Adam Hiett, Robert Frazier, Rachael Hiett, Gerald Hiett, Brenda Hiett and Gary Hahn. Today, Dec.
