Jennifer Strickland will again participate in the Susan G.
Komen three day walk for breast cancer research. The walk will
begin October 24th in Atlanta. Jennifer raised twenty five hun
dred dollars this year to qualify for the event. Last year the walk
generated over 6 million dollars for breast cancer research.
Jennifer is dedicating her walk to her mother, Sandy Lumpkin,
her aunt Vicki Tunnel of Phoenix Arizona, and her great aunt
Daisy Tison of Ashburn, all breast cancer survivors. Jennifer is
married to Brian Gregory and they have two children, Erin, four
years old, and James David who is two. They currently live in

What to do about poison ivy
The phrase “leaves of three, let it be” helps people identify
and avoid poison ivy. This woody vine creeps across the ground
and often climbs, sometimes growing branches that look like part
of a tree. Thick, older vines appear hairy because they have lots of
aerial roots.
An oil called urushiol is responsible for the rash that results
from touching any part of the plant, regardless of the time of year.
Smoke from burning poison ivy is also potent, potentially causing
lung inflammation in those who breathe it. Urushiol can even
spread to your skin by petting a cat or dog that has been in poison
ivy or touching contaminated shoes or clothing. The chemical can
persist for months and even years.
In case of skin contact, immediately wash with rubbing alco
hol or soap and cold water. Skin absorbs the oil in about 15 min
utes. Don't use hot water - it can open your pores, allowing urush
iol to penetrate more readily. Allergic rashes can develop within
hours or a few days, but blister fluids do not spread poison ivy to
other areas.
As much as you may fear getting poison ivy, don’t be too
quick to get rid of this plant in your yard. Many gamebirds, song
birds and mammals eat poison ivy berries, which ripen in the fall
and persist into the winter, when other foods are scarce. Besides,
leaving poison ivy alone seems like the best way to avoid getting
it.
Old cemetery being restored
