Two years ago, the Bedford County school board voted to renovate Jefferson Forest High School. But as residents found out tonight, nothing it seems is ever a done deal. [***NEWS 7 @ 11 IN MONITOR***]
[DOUBLE BOXES=JEan & Justin /BAM;]

Justin McLeod attended tonight's school board meeting. So Justin what's the future for JF?
Jean, there are now two options on the drawing board.

The school board voted tonight to ask for a more detailed look at the two proposals.
This all came about after the school board realized it would cost too much to renovate.

So the school system turned to a state law which allows localities to contract out the design, construction, and financing of new schools.
The school board decided to move forward with two of the four proposals.
[SUPER=03-Bedford Co./File Tape]

One would build a new Jefferson Forest, the other calls for the construction of a combined middle and high school at an Industrial Park located off Route 460.

It is still unclear how much these projects are going to cost. The bidding process allows the companies and the school board to keep that under wraps for now.

Southside residents may get a shock in their electric bills next summer.
(-------------)
[VO-NAT]

The city of Danville just entered a new contract to buy wholesale electricity from A-E-P and the result will be a big increase for consumers.
Danville officials expect a 40 percent increase for residential customers, a 50 percent hike for commercial accounts and a 60 percent increase for the industries that are city's largest power consumers.
That means a 60 dollar residential bill will jump to 84 bucks.
The increases will show up in city bills next August.
The agency that negotiated Danville's new contract also facilitated new contracts for Martinsville, Bedford, Salem, Radford and the Botetourt-Craig Co-Op, but it's not clear if rates in those communities will rise as well.

((Coming out of Oakton High School in 2000, Chad Cooper was rated among the top 25 linebackers in the country. Following a redshirt year, Cooper started all 11 regular season games in 2001 on special teams. But in December of that year, he was stricken with Guillain Bare syndrome, a viral illness that affects the nervous system, causing muscle weakness and paralysis of the legs, arms, and face.
Chad:
Cooper spent over a month in the hospital, losing nearly 60 pounds, going from 220 to 160. Eventually, the redshirt senior made a stunning recovery, playing in 13 games in 2002. He has worked his way back up to 205 pounds, but would like to get to 215. Cooper is currently 2nd on the depth chart at the mike linebacker spot, and a major contributor on Frank Beamer's special teams. But since his illness, he's had to re-evaluate his goals.
Chad: Keith:
Travis: Cooper's story is not all that different from that of NC State offensive lineman Chris Colmer who missed all of last season with a viral illness of his own. Parsonage Turner syndrome, also affects the nerves, but only those confined to the shoulder and upper arm, causing numbness and paralysis in that area.

Colmer appealed to the NCAA and was awarded a 6th year of eligibility. Now back in uniform, he cherishes the second chance he's been given.
