Senator Webb Staff to Hold Satellite Office Hours
Friday, October 26, 2007

“Webb Sites” to Expand Constituent Services in Remote Locations

Earlier this year, Senator Jim Webb announced the creation of “Webb Sites,” satellite office-hour locations where Virginians will have the opportunity to speak with a representative of the Senator’s staff in their local communities.

A “Webb Site” will be held in 2 locations on Friday, October 26, 2007. These sessions are designed to assist constituents in Amherst and Nelson Counties and the surrounding communities with difficulties relating to Social Security and Medicare benefits, veterans’ benefits, legal immigration, federal student loans, military service, and other federally-related matters.

In addition to Senator Webb’s district offices around Virginia, the “Webb Sites” program offers additional face-to-face contact with staff representatives and aims to provide access to constituents traveling from long distances. These locations are targeted at constituents living in Nelson and Amherst Counties.

“Constituent service is deeply important to me and my staff,” said Senator Webb. “My new ‘Webb Sites’ program is designed to make my Senate office more accessible to the people of Virginia.”

Representatives from Senator Webb’s office will help constituents complete casework inquiry and privacy forms so that assistance can be properly conducted in keeping with federal law. Constituents are asked to bring copies of all pertinent information regarding their cases in order to facilitate a timely response. For citizens who wish to work on another person’s behalf, the constituent with the actual concern must provide written permission for such action.

Here are details for upcoming “Webb Sites”:

9:00 AM-11:00 AM
The Nelson Center

Highway 29
Lovingston, VA 22949

Friday, October 26, 2007

Signs of Fall in the Blue Ridge
Nelson County, Virginia
Fall colors

Finally, Fall returned to Nelson County over the past couple of days. Thursday was very pleasant, even chilly some of the time when the winds were whipping around. Hard to believe earlier this week we were talking about temperatures near 100 degrees in a few locations. Those days are long gone and this weekend’s weather focus will be much cooler temps. Sadly, no rain to speak of in that forecast. We’ve had a few systems develop to our west, only to fall apart before getting to our area. Overnight last night, temps were already in the upper 30’s before midnight in the mountains.

The upside, it will be a great weekend for this year’s Annual Garlic Festival in neighboring Amherst County at Rebec Vineyards. This is a big deal folks and if you’ve never been it’s worth checking out. Three of Nelson’s wineries will be there this year: Afton Mountain, Hill Top Berry, and Wintergreen Winery. Just talked to Jeff at Wintergreen on Thursday afternoon and he said they had finished up the season’s pressing of the grapes. A sure sign of cooler days are ahead!

And for those of you keeping score at home, The numbers as of 11:59 PM EDT last night

Remembrance of Things Past
Spruce Creek Gallery
Nellysford, Virginia
Rooney
Above artist, Christine Rooney, of Lynchburg poses near some of her artwork on display at Spruce Creek Gallery just south of Nellysford on 151. Her exhibit called, Remembrance of Things Past is is series of new paintings on display through October 28th. “My desire is to present landscapes where the viewers feel they have been somewhere or sometime. Places that evoke reflection, renewal, and peace. Trees, land and light become symbols of individuality, physical space and spirituality. All my paintings are of real places, mostly in Nelson County, but seen through ‘new eyes,” says Rooney.

Listen to Christine talk about her art on display and how she got her start as a youngster.

closer view
A closer look at some of Rooney’s beautiful work.

Well we can say “so long” to the really hot weather now. Tuesday should finish us up with that 90 degree business, barring any crazy hot spells in the coming weeks. NCL-Wintergreen Winery fell just short of the 100 degree mark on Tuesday by just 3 degrees. All of the other NCL-Weathernet stations, hit 90 or above as well, except obviously Devil’s Knob. We should be trending toward cooler days right on through the end of the year. The calendar sure says it. Normal highs for this time of the year should be in the low 70’s for daytime highs and upper 40’s for nighttime lows. We see some 80’s today, but after that 60’s will be the order for highs warming to the 70’s by late in the weekend. We did see a smattering of rain yesterday, mainly west of the BRP in the Shenandoah Valley, but most of Nelson once again missed any significant rainfall. Unfortunately, our previous chances for rain this coming weekend have lessened as well, with only slight chances for a shower. The extended outlook doesn’t show much either. That said, this time of year as we transition into fall, only slight changes in a weather pattern can make all of the difference. As you have heard me say in the past, extended outlooks are very inaccurate and I have little to no faith in them. So we’ll see what the trend is over the next 7 days as it unfolds.

A Thoughtful And Powerful Cello Recital At Strathmore

Tanya Anisimova, a gifted cellist from the former Soviet Union now living in the United States, has mostly plied her art in academic conservatories. In those nurturing confines, a refined musical intelligence and commanding technique has taken shape. On Thursday evening at the Mansion at Strathmore, the artist showed she deserves far more attention among wider audiences, giving an energizing and alluring recital.

The performance was exhilarating in the way that Anisimova’s interpretations were invariably full of personality and character — whether in the spectral harmonies of Cesar Franck, the lush themes of Rachmaninoff, or her own music that marries a sense of wild fancy and studied control. There was an intimate, soliloquy-like feel to Rachmaninoff’s Sonata in G Minor. Her own “Icelandic Ballad” could have done without the gentle howls in the last measures, as the nicely crafted theme-and-variations already had a haunting, ancient sound without Anisimova’s vocals.

The recital was alluring in the sheer loveliness of the sounds Anisimova struck up as she partnered wonderfully with pianist Lydia Frumkin, who always played warmly and sensitively. Anisimova’s melancholic, honey-touched tone blossomed in the skillful cello rearrangement of Franck’s Violin and Piano Sonata in A. The Rachmaninoff was pure poetry in the way it toggled among scampering rhythms, biting vehemence and graceful tenderness.

Listening to this exceptional musicmaking, one wondered whether Anisimova is the Simone Dinnerstein of the cello. Like the American pianist who recently gained fame for her highly idiomatic recording on the Telarc label of Bach’s “Goldberg Variations,” Anisimova emerges as a highly focused artist with lots of ideas and the dexterity to back them up.

Say you missed the Apple Butter Festival this past weekend? Not to worry, they’ll hold it again later this month on October 20th.

The hot and humid weather continued on Monday as a large area of high pressure holds on controlling our weather. There is huge relief on the way, but not today. It will be another hot one with temperatures again in the lower 90’s across the area. By tonight we begin to see the start of a change in our weather patterns for the next several days. We have slight chances for a scattered storm this afternoon, with better chances by week’s end. The big story is much cooler temps by Thursday & Friday.

Mountain Side Petting Farm
Afton, Virginia
Funky-petting
Above, a youngster pets one of the many animals at the grand opening of the Mountain Side Petting Farm this past weekend, in Afton just off Blundell Hollow Road.

So far the Columbus Day weekend has been nice, but hot! It was a perfect time for many events over the holiday that continues through today. Just one of the many things happening was the grand opening of the Mountain Side Petting Farm in Afton. They had a great day to open on Saturday with all kinds of animals out there. Drop in to see Barbara and the rest of the gang there. Great place to take kids! See page 17 upper right in the current October issue of NCL for another fun Halloween event taking place there on October 27th!

Boy it has been hot and dry. Everyone was around the 90 degree mark yesterday even in the mid 80’s on the mountains. We are getting in serious need of not just a little rain, but a lot. In the photo below you can see what Lake Monocan looks like in Nellysford at Stoney Creek. You can see a lot of the bottom of the lake – and it is very, very low where there is water. I was told Sunday that it has gotten this way before and a nice rain in the fall can remedy it quickly, but the situation is getting critical.

Monocan-1
View of Lake Monocan looking west from the dock.

Unfortunately there’s not much promise of rain in the forecast, at least nothing significant. Mid week we’ll begin a sharp cool down, but substantial rain chances aren’t there.
