Prepare to vote! 🇺🇸

On August 15, the filing deadline for the positions of mayor and council member on the Mineral Town Council (MTC) passed; three candidates are seeking the mayoral position, while four are eyeing council seats.

According to the Office of Elections, the candidates for mayor are C. Edward “Ed” Kube, Ronald “Ron” Chapman and Pamela “Pam” Harlowe.

Kube currently serves as the chair of the Mineral Planning Commission. Chapman was appointed as interim mayor earlier this year to fill the vacancy of former Mayor Ed Jarvis. While Harlowe does not currently hold a position in the Town of Mineral, she has served on council before for roughly 20 years, and then as mayor for three terms, according to an April 2022 The Central Virginian (TCV) article.

Only two council seats are available for the four candidates interested in the position. According to the Office of Elections, the candidates for Mineral council member are Blair Nipper, Robert “Bob” Spedden, Afton Von Tye, and Sherri Smith.

Back to school history! 🎓📚🏫

Apple Grove Agricultural High School
—————————————————————
As school starts back up in Louisa County, we take a look back in time. In 1919, the Apple Grove Agricultural High School began its first lesson.

The school was founded to "teach the farm boy and girl that he who develops and maintains a productive farm and a beautiful home is as much an artist as he who paints a beautiful picture, and that the successful farmer or housewife requires as much professional knowledge as the competent business man or woman.”

In addition to English, the school taught Algebra and Physics classes such as Plan Production, Farm Shop Work, and Animal Production.

In this photo, girls are seen in a sewing class.

Individuals who have photographs or other historical artifacts related to the history of Louisa County are encouraged to contact the Louisa County Historical Society at (540) 967-5975.
