Nelson County, Virginia
The days are getting longer, warmer, and minds are focused on swimming pools and lazy days in the sun. But…. the folks at Wintergreen Resort had one last run Sunday at their annual Pond Skimming event. A special thank you to Paul Purpura, our Mountain Photographer, who day after day, week after week, makes sure the images from the mountain are captured for you to see here. Paul lives on the mountain, so he sees lots of what’s happening up there. Thanks Paul for the great pics, month after month!

Temps on the mountain were nice, but still cool for a trip across water in March!

The annual event, though judged in some form, is more about fun and signaling the end of the snow sports season.

So what does 40,000 pounds of white potatoes look like all in one place? Just take a look at these pictures our Ben Hernandez got shots of Saturday, and you will know. Just after daybreak the load was dropped on the parking lot of Nelson United Methodist Church as part of a project sponsored by Society of St. Andrews in Big Island, Virginia. Their goal is to provide fresh fruits and vegetables to those in need or hungry.

The potatoes were bagged into 5, 10 and 50 pound bags, then transferred to relief agencies like The Blue Ridge Food Bank who distribute them throughout the area.

Most of the bagging was complete by noon with many of the potatoes hitting family tables by Saturday night in time for supper.

BPL Update : Martins Store Substation : 3.20.09

Martins Store Substation BPL Update

March 20, 2009

We have made significant progress this week. All backbone units on the Afton 3 headend have been hung. We expect to finish Woodsmill 1 next week and start on the remaining units on NellysFord.

Some of you have been concerned that CAUs have been hung on your street and yours was not. Do not be concerned. If you have signed up and paid for your modem your CAU will be hung. There was a large number of signups that came at a point where the network design was done and the crew assignments had been made for that area. Rather than continuously changing the crew assignments it made more sense to wait and hang those CAUs at the end rather than to run back and forth putting them in areas already laid out. We will start to hang these next week also.

We will again have three crews working with two IBEC troubleshooters on the ground. We will be continuing to bring areas of the network online and contacting customers to plug in their modems and begin surfing.

One of the biggest delays we are experiencing at this time is getting in touch with customers who could have service if we could get the necessary information from them and tell them to plug in their modems. We have customer service representatives on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you receive a call from IBEC asking you to call us back please do so. It is a toll-free call at 888-IBEC-BPL or 888-423-2275.

Thanks again for your patience,
IBEC Customer Service
