Aubrey Hicks lives in Old
Southwest... a historic district -- and
that means there are certain rules
about what you can do to your house.

Hicks violated a rule when he opted
for a shingle roof instead of replacing
his tin roof with more tin. And he did
it without the appropriate permits.

Hicks admits he made a mistake, but
points out the tin roof would have cost
15-thousand dollars more. He says he
simply can't afford it.

City Council will vote tonight on
whether to allow Hicks finish his roof.

This Season Whitaker has begun treatment for :00 alcohol-related issues and will be in
rehab when the Hokies travel to Atlanta
for the Chick-fil-A Bowl. The redshirt
freshman from Germantown, Maryland
hasn't practiced with the team since
exams ended.

Whitaker says he's come to the
conclusion that he has a problem and
that he needs to battle it head-on
immediately. The quarterback's
statement goes on to say that he has
entered an in-patient program and that
he hopes to emerge from the program a
stronger and better person.

Frank Beamer says he admires
Whitaker for seeking help. And that
he's confident there's going to be a

successful ending to Whitaker's story.
