That present is a spiral shaped bacterium called Borrelia burgdorferi. This bacterium can be found in a number of mammals, including white tailed deer and rabbits.

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.

There was not much going on here until the flood came along. Accordingly, Keyser area got six inches of rain. The ’85 flood we got 11 inches, just five inches more. It is a good thing it came down the North Branch of the Potomac instead of the South Branch, or Green Spring would have really gotten hit. All our water is backwater. The water came up our lane to Tanner Farm Drive and we couldn’t get out for three days. It was diverting up in the fields below my house.
