Weekly YouTube show dives into various issues in the Page Valley, while also reporting the Week in Review and checking out the Weekend Ahead
By Randy Arrington
STANLEY, April 10 — When high winds downed power lines and sparked fires around 1 p.m. on Wednesday, March 20, dozens of local volunteers jumped into fire engines and headed to the front lines. Members of the Page County Sheriff’s Office quickly began evacuating homes in the path of the flames. In some cases, residents only had minutes to grab what they could and leave everything else behind.
This week, we’ll be talking with Tim Lansberry, who was in the heat of the flames as a volunteer firefighter and who also knocked on the door of a friend to tell them they only had moments to leave their home. Lansberry shares his memories from the recent wildfires, as seen from the front lines.
As always, we’ll look back at “the week that was” in the Page Valley with a review of news headlines and sports, and we’ll tell you about some upcoming events to look out for this weekend.
(Page Valley Livin’ ~ Episode 20 was recorded on Tuesday, April 9 and first aired Wednesday, April 10).
Coming up on Page Valley Livin’… we’re working on shows that will share details about upcoming spring events.
We’re also open to ideas…if you have one for an upcoming show — an interesting person you know (or want to know) with an interesting story — send us an email or provide a comment below.
The aim and purpose of these videos is to provide more information about more things that make up the wonderful place we call the Page Valley of Virginia. Serious issues will be handled seriously, while lighter issues may offer more opportunity to have some fun. There is no theme or agenda other than promoting the Page Valley, and trying to better inform the people who both live here and those who love to visit.
