Pastor Displeased with Parade Themes

Dear Editor,

I am writing to express my displeasure with the committee that organized the upcoming Farmville parade.

To be promoting the gay/lesbian lifestyle is contrary to Christian principles and Christmas is about Christ.

As pastor of Mt. Nebo Baptist Church, I’m asking local civic organizations and churches to express disdain by being a no-show for the parade.

Tony Reeves, Pastor

Radon Gas – Should You Test?

Is radon gas dangerous?

Radon gas can damage cells in your lungs, which can lead to cancer. Radon is responsible for about 21,000 lung cancer deaths each year in the United States, though it usually takes 5 to 25 years to develop. Early signs and symptoms of lung cancer may include: persistent cough.

What causes radon gas in homes?

Radon is a radioactive gas that has been found in homes all over the United States. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock, and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation.

Should you test your home for Radon Gas?

Virginia Radon Real Estate Requirements

However, both the state of Virginia and the EPA recommend that a home or residence should be tested before a real estate transaction is carried out. Even though Virginia does not require radon testing, we certainly recommend you have a test performed before you purchase a home.
