Recycling benefits us, earth

    If you recycle you may have been told: “You might as well give up on recycling, because it is all going into the landfill.”.
    Wake up people and spread the word that this is not true.
    I talked with Vicky Esposito at  (540) 586-7656 at Bedford County Recycling and this is what I learned: “Bedford County is fully committed to treat your recyclables as treasures.”

The bridge
problem
 
    Thank you for your article on the truck problem on Wolf Creek Bridge on Dickerson Mill Rd, (March 8, 2018).  After living ½ mile from the bridge for the last 4 years now, I believe there is no easy fix for the issue discussed in the article, and there are other risks on this section of road that must also be addressed.   

A new vision

    I was attracted to the abundance of natural beauty and the potentials when I made my home here in 1990.
    It feels like it’s time for a new vision to take hold here. In this vision county officials and various department heads share a common set of goals and operating principles: service, integrity, mutual respect, practical protections for water and air quality, and for our forests, soils and historic properties.

Thank You Bedford Fire And Rescue

    To the citizens of Bedford. I would like you to know, we have a small group of dedicated men and women scattered throughout our area, who deserve a huge shout out! It is our local Bedford Fire, Rescue and 911 Dispatchers, who respond to our call for help – daily.
    I live within 5 to 6 minutes from town and on the morning of January 19th, my family had a situation that was out of our hands and could have been devastating to us, without the quick response of this team.
