Nelson County, Virginia
Nelson County Sheriff, David Brooks, tells NCL his office in conjunction with Nelson County Animal Control executed a search warrant Monday at the address of 5282 Rockfish Valley Highway. The address is just south of the Route 6 and 151 intersection at Martins Store. “The owner went to relinquish some animals to the humane society. The humane society got animal control involved and eventually went to the address and found vey poor animal conditions,” Sheriff Brooks said.
Sheriff Brooks continued by telling NCL that a search warrant of the premises was granted after information from Nelson County Animal Control was presented. The Nelson County Sheriff’s Department executed the warrant and found even more troubling conditions. “We found several more dogs in bad condition. The area was just filthy. We found dead animals and other K-9 bones at the location. It appears the home is abandoned or not lived in, Sheriff Brooks added. The dogs that were found alive at the scene were taken to Lovingston Veterinary Hospital for care according to Sheriff Brooks.
It is highly likely that charges will be filed in the near future Sheriff Brooks tells NCL.

Talk about bringing the house down! That’s what the NCHS drama students did Saturday night in the musical Hairspray! It was one of several performances the team has put on in the past couple of days. NCL’s East Nelson Photographer, Victoria Mininger, was there to grab a few shots. She said the performance by the NCHS students was nothing short of “awesome!” That comes with some authority as Victoria did several years of theater directing herself before Nelson.

Hairspray is a musical with music by Marc Shaiman, lyrics by Scott Wittman and Shaiman and a book by Mark O’Donnell and Thomas Meehan, based on the 1988 John Waters film Hairspray. The songs include 1960s-style dance music and “downtown” rhythm and blues. In 1962 Baltimore, Maryland, plump teenager Tracy Turnblad’s dream is to dance on The Corny Collins Show, a local TV dance program based on the real-life Buddy Deane Show.[1] When Tracy wins a role on the show, she becomes a celebrity overnight. She then launches a campaign to integrate the show. Hairspray is a social commentary on the injustices of parts of American society in the 1960s.
