Do you know something really well that could be useful or of interest to others?
Or perhaps you have an interest in something and you could develop essays or instructional guides?
From gardening to photography to ikebana to do-it-yourself repairs,whatever,
let us know of your interest.

You could also "develop" additional exposure for your own website, business or art or interest by contributing articles.
The interests of FCIV's readers are very broad. This allows FCIV to publish on a wide range of topics, so we're always open to articles about interesting projects that are work or pleasure related as well as personal experiences, etc.
It doesn't have to be highly polished -- after all, this is not the New York Times.
If you would like to consider being a one time or a part time or a regular contributor

Dear Astronomy Enthusiasts,
Apple Ridge Farm has created an astronomy club providing access for the public to the GE Dark Sky Observatory. The club is currently being facilitated by Michael Good GE Volunteer Project Lead  (please see note below for his vita)
Mr. Good designed the observatory to have dual telescope piers. The first holds a Meade 8" Schmidt Cassegrain (f/10). This is an LX50 – it has sidereal tracking and slow speed controls but no "go to" capability. The second scope is a Meade 12" LX200, replete with GOTO functionality and RS232 port for remote telescope operation. Theobservatory was built entirely by Ge volunteers. 
 Here is a link to the Apple Ridge site/ observatory information
 http://appleridge.org/news/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=38&Itemid=85
We will meet monthly every 2nd Monday of the month (freeing the 3rd Monday for people wishing to attend the Roanoke Valley Astronomical Society (RVAS) meetings in Roanoke). Like the RVAS, we will meet from 7:30pm till approximately 9pm monthly.
Every meeting will begin in the Meador building . A decision will be made early if the weather and road conditions will allow driving up thegravel road to the observatory (limited parking). If so, the primarypurpose for the club will be to observe at the GE Dark Sky Observatory.If the weather does not permit, a program will be presented to thepublic.

LINK MUSEUM A POPULAR TRAVEL DESTINATION    

The O. Winston Link Museum in Downtown Roanoke offers railroad fans, art and history enthusiasts, and community residents a new destination in Western Virginia.  Since the museum's grand opening in January, more than 15,000 people - sixty percent from beyond the RoanokeValley, from most every state in theU.S.and many foreign countries - have admired the exhibition of Link's world-famous work.

Phot by O. Winston Link
   
O. Winston Link's photos of the last days of steam locomotion along the Norfolk and Western Railway take anostalgic look back to 1950s life - to the world of drive-in theatersand old country stores along the rail lines.  Set in the ruralAppalachian Mountains and locomotive shops, Link captured a simplerera that many in the United States look back to with fond memories.

   The museum, housed in the renovated Norfolk and Western Railway passenger station, exhibits more than 225 prints from Link's acclaimed Norfolk and Western project, Link's photographic equipment, and artifacts from N&W's freightand passenger services. Several interactive stations present thechance to examine Link's elaborate lighting arrangements or hear his steam locomotive sound recordings.

    "Some of our visitors worked for N&W for more than 30 years - they really enjoy seeing their memories of the railroad displayed for the public" said Kim Pulice, Manager of Museum Operations.  Many visitors leave noticeablystirred by the photographs - reminded of working with the long-gone steam trains and fellow railroad employees.photo by O. Winston Link

   Most images are black andwhite, and most are taken at night.  Using hundreds of flashbulbs, Link dramatically lit his subjects to highlight the lifearound the railroad.  Pulice noted, "Link had a knack foraddinga human element to photos of machines.  His most strikingimagesare those that show how  rail interacted with communities andindividuals."  Small communities that rarely got attention from the outside world at that time  - Rural Retreat, Vesuvius, Iager,Green Cove - were documented by Link's cameras.

   One of the most popularfeatures in the museum is the 30-minute documentary film "What a Picture I Got," containing interview footage and background information about Link.  The film also dramatically documents the troubles with Link's ex-wife, Conchita, and her plans to steal Link'sprints and other equipment.

   Additionally, the museum giftshop has expanded since the grand opening to include a diverseinventory.  Children's items - including toys and books - arenow available, and the shop has an extensive line of Norfolk and Westernand O. Winston Link memorabilia.

   "We're always adding somethinginteresting.  The 2005 Link calendar just arrived, and we will beselling postcards of Link's photos next month," said Julie Griffith,Gift Shop Manager.   Griffith observed, "Visitorsreallyenjoy those items that exhibit Link's art."

    As an added convenience,visitors can now buy joint tickets for the Virginia Museum ofTransportation at a 20 percent savings.  The two museums are connected by a three-block O. Winston Link Rail walk.

    TheO.Winston Link Museum is located at 101 Shenandoah Avenue in Roanoke,across from Hotel Roanoke.  The museum is open year-round,Mondaythrough Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5p.m.  Admission: Adults $5, Seniors $4, Children $3. Grouprates are available, and the museum is available for after hours functions.  More information is available on the web at www.linkmuseum.org or by phone at 540-982-5465.
