After months of construction the ribbon was finally cut on new annex at North Branch School (NBS) this past Friday afternoon. The new building will house 5th through 8th grade students and a language computer lab. “There’s still space I don’t know how to use. So it’s an amazing, it feels great to go from I didn’t have a room last year to having this huge room now,” says Michael Donegan, 5th and 6th grade and art teacher at NBS since 1999.
Construction started on the annex about one year ago and was finished several weeks ago before the actual dedication.
North Branch’s enrollment is about 90 students for the 2009-2010 school year.

Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia
Winds gusting as high as 35 MPH up at Wintergreen kept crews busy early Saturday morning. The winds knocked down this tree across Wintergreen Drive at Mountain Inn Loop just past the fire department. Not to worry, they had it cut up and moved out of the way quickly!

The foggy and rainy skies will begin gradually clearing later today with full sunshine returning by Sunday.

After a stretch of fantastic weather for the past several days, changes are back in the forecast for the first part of the weekend. Rain and even a possible thunderstorm enter the forecast by late Friday into Friday night. The rain begins to taper off Saturday night with sunshine back in the forecast by Sunday. Temperatures over the period are a bit cooler than we’ve seen for the past several days, with daytime highs in the 60’s rather than the 70’s and even low 80’s we saw on Thursday afternoon.

Reception and Reading with Earl Hamner at the Hamner Theater Thursday, Nov. 5 from 6:00 p.m.
The Hamner Theater is hosting an evening with renowned author (and Nelson County native) Earl Hamner on Thursday, November 5th. There will be a reception and book-signing from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. At 7:30p.m., Earl Hamner will read from his beloved Christmas story, The Homecoming. He will be joined by the cast from the upcoming production of The Homecoming (on stage at the Hamner from November 19 to December 13). Admission for this benefit is $50, which includes reception, book-signing and reading. All proceeds will go to the Hamner Theater. Seating is limited, call 434 361 1999 for reservations.
About Earl Hamner: Best-selling author Earl Hamner is well-known as the creator of a television series which drew as many as 50 million American viewers every Thursday night; THE WALTONS remains in syndication, and has aired in nearly every country around the world. It is perhaps less widely-known that his TV adaptation of HEIDI once bumped off the air a pivotal late-season pro-football game between the Raiders and the Jets. (The score was tied with 2 minutes to go.) Born in 1923, in Nelson County, Earl Hamner is also the author of six novels, including the best-seller, “Spencer’s Mountain”, which was made into a film starring Henry Fonda and Maureen O’Hara. His work has been awarded an Emmy as well as the most prestigious honor in broadcast journalism, the George Foster Peabody Award. He is the recipient of no less than six Christopher Awards, an award established to ‘salute media that affirm the highest values of the human spirit; award winners encourage audiences to see the better side of human nature and motivate artists and the general public to use their best instincts on behalf of others.’
About the Hamner Theater: The Hamner Theater, a non-profit project of the Rockfish Valley Community Center in Nelson County, receives funding from the Virginia Commission for the Arts, the Donovan Foundation, the Perry Foundation and anonymous donors to support its mission of bringing professional theater to Nelson County and to foster new works for the stage.
