Nelson County, Virginia
If you carry a Verizon Wireless (VZW) smartphone or Alltel, you may have noticed a quiet, subtle change on your display over the past 48 hours. We noticed on our Verizon PDA unit about two days ago that the 1X technology signal has been replaced with the faster more modern EV (EVDO) signal indicator.
Verizon Wireless completed their acquisition of Alltel last month. Though nothing official has come down some of the changes are being noted on some of the phones used here in Nelson. If you are a Verizon Wireless customer, you have been an Extended Network customer in the Nelson area. The local Verizon Wireless net begins at the top of Afton Mountain at the I-64/250 interchange. Waynesboro and the rest of Augusta County have been local VZW territory for years.
The changes may be an indicator of the merging of the two carriers’ technologies now that they are the same company. Competitor, nTelos Wireless has been on an aggressive expansion campaign here in Nelson over the past year or two and just this past week put up another one of their monopole style antennas just south of the Route 151 & 6E intersection north of Nellysford, VA.
We inquired to Verizon about the upcoming changes several months ago. No one from Verizon has responded to any requests for information.

Wintergreen Resort
Nelson County, Virginia
For the forth time this season, students in grades 3,4 and 5 at Rockfish River Elementary in Afton, took to the slopes at Wintergreen Resort. “The whole reason behind doing it is to get the kids in the snow to give them the opportunity to enjoy skiing. And to learn to ski,” says Jodie Bruguiere who took over coordinating the group about five years ago. The program first started at RRES about 10 years ago.
“A lot of the kids are beginners that have never been on skis or a snowboard. They learn to ski and it gets them out in the fresh air to enjoy the snow,” Jodie continues.
Wintergreen Resort helps out the school ski club by giving them great cuts and discounts off of the regular rates. Hopefully through the student’s introduction to the slopes they will continue with the sport later in life.
