Virginia Beach, Virginia
Last weekend, the Wintergreen Technical Rescue Team traveled to Virginia Beach for the annual state competition. “This is the best way for us to know if we are performing proficiently and safely. The judges are the top instructors from all over Virginia,” says Curtis Sheets, Chief of Wintergreen Fire and Rescue here in Nelson.
The team was given a complex problem involving multiple patients below grade, one of whom needed to be hauled out using a mechanical advantage (series of pulleys) The team finished the problem with eight minutes remaining, only missing 3 out of 100 points, placing third overall.
Wintergreen Fire and Rescue team members carrying out a mock patient during the state competition in Virginia Beach.
Mike Riddle competed in the EVOC (Emergency Vehicle Operator Course) competition which is one of the most difficult contests at convention. “The EVOC judges take great pride in setting the course to be nearly impossible to complete. There is also a written test component to this contest. Mike finished third,” Chief Sheets continued.
Wintergreen also submitted one of their MVC (motor vehicle crash) calls from Route 151 for consideration in “Outstanding ALS (advanced life support) Call of the Year”. They placed second in this category.
“Our website (www.wtgfireresq.org) placed sixth out of the many sites submitted from across the Commonwealth. (Nice job Mike!),” Chief Sheets tells us.
Tech Rescue Team members were:
Jeremy McNeal – Captain
Jared McNeal
Mike Riddle
Derky Botkin
Nick Brown
Robbie Hubbard
Jeremiah Fish
Chief Sheets said the guys practice hard for the state competition. The end result is a group of people (some from each shift) are more ready to respond to technical challenges such as roof-top emergencies, ski lift accidents, rock climbing accidents, below grade vehicles, etc.
“Also worthy of note, the Staunton-Augusta Rescue Squad was again named “Outstanding Agency of the Year”. Since roughly a third of our staff are now, or have been affiliated with SARS, this is nice validation for us as well,” Chief Sheets ended.
Update: 5:00 PM
Crews are still on the scene finishing up, but traffic moving normally.
Update: 4:09 PM
We are getting reports that traffic seems to be moving along as crews near completion.
*****
Sources tell us Hazmat crews are responding to an accident at the intersection of Rts. 151 and 250 at the bottom of Afton Mountain after a vehicle ran over a piece of metal on the road, tearing open its fuel tank. The vehicle pulled over to nearby Rockfish Gap Country Store where it is leaking about 40 gallons of fuel, threatening a nearby stream. No injuries have been reported but expect traffic delays until the scene is cleared.

Staunton, VA
The Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge is pleased to announce the kick-off celebration in Nelson County for Great Aspirations Scholarship Program, Inc. (GRASP).
What Where When
Celebrating the Launch of GRASP in Nelson High School Wintergreen Real Estate, 3079 Rockfish Valley Highway, Nellysford Thursday, October 7, 2010, 4:00pm – 5:00pm
GRASP is a non-profit organization that helps students leverage financial aid opportunities for college and/or trade school. Through resources made available by the Community Foundation and local donors, GRASP is placing an advisor in Nelson High School for one day a week for the 2010-2011 school year.
“The opportunity for students in Nelson County to have an extra resource to help them seek funding for college or trade school is huge. With the current economic climate and the rising costs of higher education, it is clear that local students can benefit from leveraged financial aid assistance so that they may pursue educational opportunities beyond high school,” says Becky Kohler, President and CEO of the Community Foundation of the Central Blue Ridge. “We were especially thrilled to have been able to raise the funds needed to provide every single one of our area public high schools in 3 counties with a GRASP advisor to team with school staff.”
GRASP strives to provide every high school student with an equal opportunity for continuing education, regardless of financial or social circumstances. Founded in 1983 by Virginia State Senator Walker Stosch and Dr. Raymond Garguilo, it helps students develop educational plans for after high school by placing a financial aid advisor in local schools to work alongside school staff to leverage financial aid opportunities for colleges and trade schools. Last year, each dollar invested in GRASP’s in-school advisor program leveraged $114 in financial aid for GRASP students, amounting to $31.3 million in financial aid and scholarships.
