Damaging Winds

The strong winds Saturday took out trees that blocked roadways and caused scattered power outages. In Rockbridge County, there were a total of 33 emergency 911 calls for trees down, according to Rockbridge County Fire/Rescue Chief Nathan Ramsey. The Rockbridge Baths Volunteer Fire Department is shown below tackling a tree across the road in Goshen Pass. Ramsey and Raphine firefighters, meanwhile, responded to a house on Harvest Lane in Raphine (seen above) that was heavily damaged by a fallen tree. The two occupants were displaced, and Red Cross was contacted to assist with hotel room for a couple of nights until the insurance company can do assessment and provide assistance.

All About Science

All About Science

The gymnasium at Maury River Middle School was transformed into a science museum last Wednesday, giving students an opportunity to study body systems in an alternative, exciting way. As Project-Based Learning (PBL), students created exhibits that offered different lessons about the body. “They also learned critical thinking, communication, collaboration, creativity and citizenship,” physical education teacher Tasha Polly explained. Teachers and students had support from a number of organizations for this project, including Amazement Square in Lynchburg, Advanced Drainage Systems of Buena Vista, Lowe’s, Carilion, the Lexington Police Department, Project Horizon, and the Virtual Reality Center of Roanoke, Polly noted. Among the scenes that day were (above) a student pedaling a bike in place to test how activity stimulates heart rate; (below) two students displaying a realistic rendition of the cardiovascular system; and (at bottom) students twisting, turning, and answering questions about the body in a academic version of Twister.
