Update: 04.01.07 – 4:45 PM EDT – Lynn Tyler, Director of Food & Beverage, for Wintergreen Resort tells us The Copper Mine will reopen for regular business beginning Tuesday evening. They expect renovations on the damaged areas to begin as soon as adjusters and contractors have looked things over Monday.
Scroll for updated photos by Paul Purpura – 04.01.07

Wintergreen Fire Dept. and area rescue teams responded to a fire at Wintergreen Resort Saturday afternoon around 3:30pm. The fire shown is above the ceiling of Pryor’s Porch Cafeteria at the courtyard of The Mountain Inn. As of this post, the entire Inn was evacuated. Resort managers tell us they are working quickly to get nearby mountain restaurants and in the Inn back in operation. From what we could tell, the fire itself was contained to the Pryor’s building. Devils Grill Restaurant and The Edge are nonetheless open; no word yet when Copper Mine will reopen. – By the way, Stoney Creek, in the valley, will be opening 4-1-07 for brunch. Thankfully, no one was hurt … a very, very good thing. Kudos to the rescue teams. As soon as we have updates, we’ll post them on this site.

Earl’s “Homecoming” Visit to Nelson

This past weekend our friend, monthly writer in NCL, and legend, Earl Hamner came back to home to Nelson County. We’ll have lots more about Earl in our May issue, but here’s a peek of his visit the weekend of March 24-25th.

We can’t say enough good about Earl and all of the contributions he’s made to our magazine, this county, and this country.

DOUG, RONNIE, EARL AND AUDREY

This is Earl and his sister, Audrey, from near Roanoke, signing books for Ronnie and Doug Johnson from Vermont at the Walton’s Mountain B & B in Schuyler. They drove down to to see Earl at the VA Festival of the Book in Charlottesville and here in Nelson. Nice folks. We met them a couple of years ago when Earl was back here for his biography released by James Person. Doug and Ronnie have become nice friends of ours. We always look forward to seeing them whenever they are down this way!

Stafford for Sheriff?

Hi everyone! Welcome to the official Tommy Stafford for Sheriff site. The internets are cool aren’t they? Anyway, below is a reprint of what appeared in the April (Fools?) 2007 issue of Nelson County Life. Feel free to comment away, but be gentle. This politicking thing is new to me.

Stafford for Sheriff

I tried running for Sheriff years ago
in an eight man race and came within
a few hundred votes of actually winning
it. I was 26 at the time.

But I am much wiser now so I’m
thinking about running again. My
momma tells me I was just ahead of
my time, bless my pea pickin’ heart.

I had hired a consultant to advise
me on my campaign. He told me I
probably wouldn’t win and since he
felt sorry for me, he didn’t charge me.

He took one look at me and said,
‘Son. Can you grow any facial hair?’
I grew my moustache but it wasn’t
dark enough so they airbrushed it for
the poster. The consultant also told
me I needed to do something about
my tasseled loafers.

‘Son, take off those sissy slippers
and get you some lace up shoes!’

I did and I still lost. I should have
remained true to myself. I should
have been more like Lt. Jim Dangle
on Reno 911. He’s a hero of mine
because he’s always been true to himself.
If his way of protecting the citizens
of Reno, Nevada is by wearing
polyester shorts, then Amen brother!
I do believe those shorts are 20%
inspiration and 80 % perspiration.

As Sheriff I would let turkeys
drive truck drivers in cages. I would
form a regional task force to fight
the growing shoefiti epidemic (page
38). And because I am a man with a
compassionate heart, I will endorse
the formation of a competitive knitting
league. Though my wife tells me
knitting is not a sport, I disagree.

So I hope you remember me on
Election Day. This year, I believe it
falls on the second anniversary of this
magazine, April 1, 2007. Visit TommyStafford.
com for more info.

My name is Tommy Stafford and I
approve this message.

This is a test post.

In the meantime, check out the NCL WeatherNet on the upper left hand corner for your local Nelson County weather.

Enjoy!
