[GRAPHIC=None]

Roanoke Gas officials say a problem that was causing a stink last night is now under control.
The culprit is a chemical that's supposed to warn residents of leaks.
But emergency officials says Roanoke Gas added 50 to 100 times too much of the chemical that gives natural gas its odor.
The problem seems to be concentrated in Northwest Roanoke between Tenth Street and Williamson Road.
Fire officials say the chemical itself is harmless but the odor has been causing some headaches and nausea.
Roanoke Gas says the chemical might not be worked out of the system until later this morning.
In the meantime, they suggest cracking a window.

((After having last Saturday off, the Hokies now have just a few short days to get ready for their second straight nationally ranked opponent - Marshall University. In this morning's Tech 2002 Report we're focusing in on the Thundering Herd which rolls into Lane Stadium Thursday night for a nationally televised contest that could put the Marshall program on the national map once and for all. ((BOB PRUETT:))
Marshall lost that Florida game last year 49-to-14, but then reeled off 10 straight wins behind the play of six foot six 240 pound quarterback Byron Leftwich. The Heisman trophy candidate already has passed for more than 8000 yards and thrown 63 touchdown passes in his career. He's excited about winging it at Lane Stadium. ((BYRON LEFTWICH:)) ((BOB PRUETT:)) If you don't think the Marshall players believe they win this game - you're sadly mistaken. Marshall practices are usually always open to the media. But on our visit to Huntington last week - Pruett asked that we leave right after the players finished stretching. Their focus? Finding a way to exploit Tech's defense. ((PRUETT:)) ((LEFTWICH:)) Now the Marshall program has a number of alumni in the area and this year the team has 19 players from the state of Virginia of it. Among those 19 are two former Friday Football Extra players of the week from Martinsville High School. Marcus Hairston and Jamus Martin. Both played under Taylor Edwards- both are now starting defensive ends at Marshall. And later this week on Wednesday - Travis Wells sits down with two former Bulldogs to talk about their homecoming in Blacksburg against the Hokies. By the way - Tech is up number nine in the coaches poll this week, while Marshall is ranked 17th. The Hokies are favored by 11 points - the game is a complete sellout - with 65 thousand one hundred and 15 expected to be in attendance. Have a nice Tuesday.))

Another sign that West Nile is here to stay in Southwest Virginia.
A horse in Rocky Mount was one of six in the state to test positive for West Nile Virus this year.
The horse became ill in mid-August and had to be put down.
There are no drugs to kill the virus in horses or humans, but there is an equine *vaccine* for West Nile.
The state department of Agriculture suggests calling a vet if your horse exhibits any neurologic symptoms, like a stumbling gate, facial paraylsis, drooping or disinterest in the surroundings.
