For eight rounds Rhiannon Cire of Montvale Elementary and Brandi Mitchell of Forest Middle School squared off against one another in last Thursday’s Bedford County Spelling Bee.

    Seventeen students from the county’s middle and elementary schools had started in the contest, but by the seventh round it was down to those final two.

Montvale honored a life-long resident, Monday, on her 100th birthday.

    Virginia Noell was born on Jan. 25, 1911, and grew up on a 230-acre farm in Goose Creek Valley, a daughter of the late Royal and Hattie Boyd Garrett Noell.
    “I loved it!” she said of her early years. “You could run, do anything you wanted and nobody would run over you with an automobile.”

    The Bedford County Sheriff's Office has arrested  two men in connection with the larceny of items from a vehicle at Sheetz in Bedford County.  
    On January 1 at about 2:45 a.m. deputies responded to Sheetz at 14449 Forest Rd. in Bedford County.  Upon arrival deputies learned that a gun and some other items had been stolen out of a vehicle in the parking lot while the owner was inside.
