TwoNelson parties sued by ACP
BY EMILY [email protected]
(434) 385-5529
After negotiations over com-pensation came to a standstill,in the last two weeks, two NelsonCounty parties have been sued bythe Atlantic Coast Pipeline underthe power of eminent domain.
In the United States DistrictCourt’s Western District of Virgin-ia on Jan. 31, Atlantic Coast Pipe-
line LLC filed suit against FentonFamily Holdings LLC, the compa-ny of Will and Lilia Fenton, seek-ing permanent and temporaryeasements for the natural gasproject.
The right of way sought by theACP contains land on which theFenton Inn sits. The Fenton Inn,a Bavarian village-style bed-and-breakfast off Virginia 664 near theBlue Ridge Parkway and Winter-green Resort, opened nearly two
years ago.In the same court last Friday,
ACP LLC filed a lawsuit againstWintergreen Property Owners As-sociation seeking temporary andpermanent easements for about7½ acres of open land close to theAugusta County border.
Both lawsuits say ACP “has ne-gotiated with the Owner and hasmade several efforts to acquirethe Easements by contract. How-ever, [ACP] and the Owner havebeen unable to agree upon thecompensation to be paid.”

WhiteHouse unveils gun planIncludes helping states to pay for teachers’firearm training, improved background checks
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — PresidentDonald Trump’s plan to combatschool shootings will includehelping states pay for firearmstraining for teachers and a call toimprove the background checksystem.
But Trump’s plan will not in-clude a push to increase theminimum age for purchasingassault weapons or an embraceof more comprehensive back-ground checks, as Trump attimes has advocated.
Instead, a new federal com-mission on school safety will ex-
amine the age issue, as well as along list of others topics, as partof a longer-term look at schoolsafety and violence.
In a call with reporters Sundayevening, administration officialsdescribed the plan as a fulfill-ment of Trump’s call for actionin the wake of the school shoot-ing in Parkland, Florida, that left17 students and staff dead.
“Today we are announcingmeaningful actions, steps that
can be taken right away to helpprotect students,” said Educa-tion Secretary Betsy DeVos, whowill chair the commission.
DeVos said “far too often, thefocus” after such tragedies “hasbeen only on the most conten-tious fights, the things that havedivided people and sent theminto their entrenched corners.”She described the plan as “prag-matic.”
As part of that plan, the White
House has directed the JusticeDepartment to help states part-ner with local law enforcementto provide “rigorous firearmstraining to specifically qualifiedvolunteer school personnel,”said Andrew Bremberg, direc-tor of the president’s DomesticPolicy Council.
Trump is calling on states topass temporary, court-issued

Hospicehouse has‘incredible’first yearFacility reopened in early 2017to fulfill need for care in town
BY LUANNE RIFEThe Roanoke Times
ROANOKE — Friends of the Bedford Hos-pice House invited supporters to breakfast sothey could hear about the families they arehelping.
“It’s been an incredible year,” Dr. LindaBeahm said. “We had no idea how busy wewould be.”
Centra Health reopened the four-bedroomhospice house in January 2017 and is fulfill-ing the dream of many Bedford residents whoworked for more than a decade to create ahomelike place for people to live out their lastdays, weeks or months.
Hospice physician Beahm told a filledroom at the Bower Center for the Arts onWednesday about some of the patients andtheir families.
One was a World War II veteran who was inassisted living.
“The staff loved him there, but they justcouldn’t take care of him,” she said. “He hadmany, many problems and was in and out ofthe hospital.”

Forest service imposes emergency closure along pipeline route
BY LAURENCE HAMMACKThe Roanoke Times
ROANOKE — In what it de-scribed as an emergency, theU.S. Forest Service said Saturdayit was closing parts of the Jef-ferson National Forest where anatural gas pipeline is planned.
The order “was enacted to pro-tect public safety due to hazardsassociated with constructing theMountain Valley Pipeline,” ac-
cording to a news release issuedlate Saturday afternoon.
With the exception of autho-rized personnel, the order pro-hibits anyone from being within200 feet of either side of a right-of-way established for the pipe-line to pass through the nationalforest in Monroe County, WestVirginia, and Giles and Mont-gomery counties.
Also off-limits to the public areaccess roads Mountain Valley
will use during construction ofthe pipeline.
Tree cutting is underway in thenational forest and other areasalong the pipeline’s 303-mileroute through West Virginia andVirginia. Full-scale construc-tion is scheduled to start in thespring.
It was unclear whether theemergency closure was relatedto a situation in which protest-ers are sitting in trees in an effortto block work at a spot wherethe pipeline would cross under
the Appalachian Trial on PetersMountain in Monroe County.
Also unknown was whether theforest service will use the closureorder in an effort to remove theprotesters, who are already thesubject of a temporary restrain-ing order issued last week by aWest Virginia judge at MountainValley’s request.
The closure order states vio-lators could face a fine of up to$5,000 and up to six months injail.
A forest service spokeswoman
did not return calls or emailsover the weekend.
The remote location of thetree-sit protest and limited cell-phone service have made com-munications with the looselyorganized group difficult.
But the group has been postingupdates to the Facebook page ofAppalachians Against Pipelines.
“Another snowy night here onPeters Mountain,” an updatefrom 10:52 a.m. Saturday stated.
“Woke up this morning to thesound of chainsaws just down
