The southside location opened a year

County leaders had high hopes the
O-T-B facility would bring a good
amount of revenue for the area but that
hasn't happened.

In the first year, Henry County had
expected 133-thousand dollars in tax

40-thousand dollars, a difference of
nearly a hundred grand.

OQ=NOT BEING MET Area churches warned this would

happen.

They urged residents to vote against
off track betting, believing among
other things it wouldn't produce that
much revenue for the county.

OQ=a bad idea Colonial Downs believes it's still a

good idea, although the company admits
its disappointed.

Only about 42-thousand people have
walked through these doors since it
opened, the company wanted triple that
amount.

So what's the problem?

Part of it, the company says is
educating people about off track
betting.

The other is the high price of gas,
Colonial Downs had hoped to attract
large crowds from Greensboro.

from the facility goes into a general

As for Colonial Downs Natasha, the
company president told me today they're
going nowhere and they plan to make
this work.

QUESTION: Justin, how do they plan
to do that?

Natasha, Colonial Downs plans to do
more advertising in the Martinsville
Danville area. The company realizes it
been relying too much on the Greensboro
market.

Karr also allegedly told investigators
JonBenet was drugged, but the

GRAPHIC=LEGAL SCALES An Albemarle County jury has

decided that a 13-year-old boy was NOT
guilty of plotting a Columbine-style
attack at two high schools.

Yesterday's verdict came in an
appeal after a juvenile court judge in
March convicted the boy, another
13-year-old and 16-year-old Alan Newsom
on charges of conspiracy to commit
murder and conspiracy to use an
explosive device to destroy a school
house.

The three were accused of
planning to plant bombs at Albemarle

and Western Albemarle high schools and
then have a shootout on school grounds.

The jury foreman said the panel
reviewed all the evidence during four
hours of deliberations and couldn't
find any concrete proof of a
conspiracy.

TNT The duo is alike in more ways :00 than they care to admit, both firing
69's today. Mickelson showing some
nice touch around the green to save a

par after the flop shot. He's at
3-under, three shots off the lead.

But Tiger matched him thanks to
shots like this one at the par 3 2nd.
He knocks it stiff, right over the
flagstick to within about four feet.
He too is 3-under.

The feel good story of the
week, Billy Mayfair. Mayfair carded a
69, just 11 days after surgery for
testicular cancer.

Lucas Glover and Chris Riley
are co-leaders at 6-under, but the
story of the day was Tiger and Phil.
