About 80 percent of car seats are
not installed correctly. They are
either not in tight enough or the
harness doesn't fit properly around the
child.

Another mistake parents make is not
keeping their kids in booster seats
until they are at least 4 feet nine
inches tall and at least eight years
old.

The General Assembly is considering
a bill that would make booster seats a
requirement until this age.

what caused Anna Nicole Smith's death
meanwhile, another man has come forward
claiming he could be the father of
Smith's daughter.

ENG#=2 VO-NAT

VO-NAT Zsa Zsa Gabor's 59 year old husband

now claims he too might be the father
as he says he had a lengthy affair with
Smith.

Smith's companion, Howard Stern and
ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, also claim
to be five month old DannyLynn's dad.

At stake is a multi-million dollar

inheritance.

Smith was found dead in her hotel
room and just one day later, an autopsy
was performed. But the medical
examiner says more tests are necessary
to determine a cause.

Martinsville vs. Magna Vista The game was played on the :00 neutral court at Bassett and as you can
see it was packed.

Martinsville's Arthur Dandridge
will feed the ball to Tracy Hairston on
the wing. And the talented senior will
knock down the jumper for the Bullldogs
in the second quarter.

Magna Vista beat the Dogs in
overtime earlier this week and Brian
Breedlove will feed the rock to
Jonathan Williams, who converts the
strong post move.

The Bulldogs answered that with
Jonathan Burman. He penetrates from
the top of the key and pulls up for the
tough jumper for Troy Wells' team.

The Warriors would make sure this
thing stayed tight from start to
finish.

Off the break Dennis Gravely goes
baseline and shields off the defense
with the
*CG final Martinsville reverse layin.
50 Martinsville beats Magna Vista 50 Magna Vista to 48 and gets the automatic invite to 48 the regionals.

Alleghany vs. William Fleming The William Fleming Colonels, who :00 have already clinched their fourth
straight Blue Ridge title, celebrated
senior night this evening up on
Fernclilff.

Their opponent Alleghany has been
out of school since Tuesday and the
Mouties made a statement in the first
half as Steven Wilkes hit the runner in
the lane for the visitors.

Fleming came back with a couple

of those seniors - Ryan Pannell finds
Vincent Pierson. He handles the
contact and spin for a bucket inside.

But Alleghany led most of the
first half and at the break thanks to
patience and some nice shooting from
Jay Nagel, who drops in this jumper. *CG final Alleghany
39 Fleming is able to get it William Fleming together in the second half to post the 53 53 to 39 win.

District tournaments begin next
week.
