Preserve the
BCO venue

    We are residents of Lynchburg and have great interest in seeing the Bedford Orchestra have a facility for their practices and presentations. We have attended every presentation of the Bedford Orchestra for many years. They are an outstanding group with an outstanding director.
    We understand the school will soon be sold. We do hope the town of Bedford can preserve the auditorium as a concert hall.

Preserve the MS building, auditorium

    My husband and I recently attended a concert by the Bedford Community Orchestra (BCO) held at the Middle School.
    It was fantastic and the BCO can definitely compete with big city events. What a gem to have such a talented orchestra in such a little town! The sound in the Middle School auditorium is perfect!
    Unfortunately, the future of the building is threatened by a new school building outside of town.

Baseball: Staunton River falls...

The Golden Eagles impressive six-game win streak came to a screeching halt when district leader Northside paid a visit and dropped Staunton River 6-2. Later in the week Byrd bested the Golden Eagles 5-1 to hand Staunton River its first losing streak of the year.
    

Northside quickly jumped ahead 3-0 in the first two innings and was forced to battle back for the rest of the game.
    

Governor’s amendments would gut...

By Senator David Suetterlein

    In between the Virginia General Assembly’s ongoing special session to adopt a biennial budget, we met last week for our regularly scheduled reconvene session to address the Governor’s actions on legislation since the regular session adjourned sine die on March 10.

Coleman Falls man faces 18...

    Facing a possible mandatory 95 years in prison, if convicted of all the crimes he is charged with, a 39-year-old Coleman Falls man will remain in prison having been denied bond Monday.

    At a hearing in General District Court, Judge Randy Krantz denied a request by Jason Vesely Marquis for bond.

Soccer: Cavaliers down Minutemen...

All Jefferson Forest midfielder Josh Weakley needed was a little gap as he fired the first of his two goals, this one from about 20-yards out. The ball glided, just barely, over the outstretched arm of Liberty goalkeeper Micah Dudley bouncing off the crossbar and into the net in the second minute.
    

Weakley scored two of the Cavaliers three goals–the first and the third–to help Jefferson Forest extend its winning streak to five games with a 3-0 victory over Liberty.
    

Golf: Spring Success Continues...
