Everyone has heard the saying, ââTis better to give than receive.â Recently a group of Smith Mountain Lake (SML) residents and representatives of local churches had the opportunity to test the âgivingâ theory; it proved to be true! Call it luck, or better yet, divine intervention, but we recently learned about a special womanâs simple request: to feel the sunshine on her face.
The lady I speak of is Michele Tarantino. She has been described by friends as a natural athlete, intelligent, with great style and a radiant personality. Many area residents know Michele and her husband of 26 years, Jim; they just cannot remember how. The Tarantinos have been active in the SML community. Their involvement in productions by The Smith Mountain Arts Council (SMAC) Lake Players could be the connection.

Editor’s note: At New Eastern Europe we aim to bring to you information and analysis on all issues related to our region of Central and Eastern Europe, this includes publishing voices from the region itself. However, our region is one of many unresolved conflicts and war. The case of the Nagorno-Karabakh is one that raises high emotions on both sides of the conflict – Azerbaijan and Armenia – and it is nearly impossible to get an objective point of view on the conflict from either side.
