This time of year, schools often educate high school seniors about the dangers of drinking alcohol.
But this year, Roanoke County is taking a different approach by also giving the lesson to parents.

While U-S troops continue to hammer insurgents from the ground and the air, negotiators have reached a tentative deal to stop the fighting in Fallujah.
The agreement calls for the Marines to pull back and allow an Iraqi force to move in and provide security.

[SS=Shooting]
[ENG#=1]

The search for a U-V-a student suspected of shooting a former football player is over, and the victim's chances of making the pros may be over as well.
A U-V-A spokeswoman says Aaron Joshua Robinson turned himself in yesterday morning.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]

Robinson's charged with malicious wounding.
Police say he shot a man late Tuesday night at the Faulkner Residence Hall.
[SUPER=03-Charlottesville/Last Season]

Though the University has not identified the victim, published reports indicate it was former U-V-A football player Jamaine Winborne.
Police say his wound is serious, but not life threatening.
It could be career- threatening though.
Winborne signed a contract with the New York Giants and was supposed to report to mini-camp next week.
The shooting will likely end his chances with the N-F-L team because the contract was contingent upon Winborne passing a physical.
Three current U-V-A players were arrested for a disturbance early Wednesday morning as police tried to investigate the shooting.

The panel is getting back to work this morning.
After 18 hours of deliberations, the jurors told the judge yesterday they're split on two of the eight charges against the former N-B-A star.
The judge told them to keep trying.
Among the charges Williams faces are aggravated manslaughter and tampering with witnesses.
The charges stem from the 2002 killing of a limo driver.

Independent George Sgouros (SCORE-us) will be on the ballot next week when Roanokers choose a new mayor, but it now appears he won't be in a broadcast debate later today.
Radio station WFIR reviewed campaign finance reports before deciding to invite the three other candidates to participate in the 90- minute debate. Sgouros has raised and spent just over 200 dollars.
Sgouros objected to the decision, but Program Director Kevin Larue says WFIR tried to make an objective, good faith judgment in the best interest of the station's listeners.
This morning, Joe Dashiell completes our look at the candidates, with a profile of Sgouros and some of the obstacles he has faced.

[RUNS= :03]
[OUT Q=Thanks a lot. good.]

Though he moved to Roanoke last year, Sgouros says he's been a regular visitor to the Valley for fifteen.
Though he hasn't run for public office before, he has a business background and says his lack of political experience is actually an advantage.

[RUNS= :10]
[OUT Q=by utilizing that advantage.]

Sgouros acknowledges the difficulty of challenging candidates who will outraise and outspend him 100-fold, but during a recent candidates forum, Sgouros argued that his campaign provides the only true alternative.
[SOT 16:14:35]
[IN Q=If you the people]

[RUNS= :17]
[OUT Q=in line for a change like me.]

Sgouros says Roanoke needs a full-time mayor, and he promises an open door to citizens concerns. Though he may be the dark horse in a four way-race, Sgouros says he's the Seabiscuit of this bunch, poised for a come-from-behind victory on Tuesday.
