  • Once-in-a-lifetime feeling

     After more than 20 years of futility against its closest rival, Galax finally found the formula necessary to take a win from Grayson County.

  • Fishing at Lovill's Creek Lake

    By taking a boat out into Lovill's Creek Lake, anglers can enjoy some of the finest fishing anywhere in the state, according to a recent report by a Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries biologist.

    Carroll County abounds with opportunities to fish — many of its creek and river banks are well known and popular with enthusiasts.

    Take the six miles of Crooked Creek that are heavily stocked three days a week, or the many boat ramps on the New River.

  • Art school holds grand opening

    Many hands sculpted and shaped Chestnut Creek School of the Arts over the past seven years, and finally the finished work was unveiled and celebrated this past weekend.

    The Galax art school's two-day grand opening kicked off the evening of April 16, with more than 200 attending a “colorful black tie” gala, touring the art school, getting a first look at the inaugural exhibit and visiting artisan demonstrators.

  • A Scout Is...

  • The Fiddle & The Plow

    WOODLAWN — If the informality and open discussion encouraged at Woodlawn's new Friday evening musical offerings seem reminiscent of listening to a couple of friends kicking around stories while jamming in the living room, then organizers Willard Gayheart and Scott Freeman will have struck the right chord.

  • Man faces federal firearm charge

    ABINGDON — A 41-year-old Galax man faces a federal charge of possession of a firearm, arising from a traffic stop and sobriety check last August.

    Galax Police Department Officer Jody Poole stopped a 1978 Ford pickup on Meadow Street, leading to the charge against Joe Jackson Gambill, according to federal court documents.

    During the traffic stop, Poole noticed a strong odor of alcohol on Gambill, the complaint states.

    While the officer conducted a records check, he observed an SUV pull up to the scene. Gambill's wife got out and approached the Ford pickup.

  • Agreement a bright spot amid wastewater fued

    HILLSVILLE — At one point in the ongoing utility disagreements between Carroll County and Hillsville, county officials decided they would rather switch providers.

    As the lawsuit between the two localities goes to trial in circuit court, construction workers have made the final connections between the new Woodlawn sewer system and the Galax treatment plant.

    That will allow the Carroll County Public Service Authority to send its sewage to Galax for treatment, instead of to Hillsville.
