Authorities say they've found

Officials think the bombing was aimed

Each day during the school year,
Amazement Square has an educational
comic that runs in the Lynchburg News
and Advance.

The strip's main character is the
center's mascot, Scorpy Bug... inspired
by the background of the Square's
historical structure.

The building dates back to
pre-Civil Way days and among other
things in recent times, served as a
wholesale grocery that sold pesticides.

In addition to Scorpy Bug, the
phrase "Death to bugs" lead to the
birth of bug-buddies Ante Bug,

Together, Amazement Square's

to educate children with "The Amazing

Virginia's standards of learning.

Those are guidelines the state
sets for what children should be

Carroll County driver hit and killed
another man - then fled the
scene....he's stepping forward to admit
his guilt.

Carroll County authorities say
Veryln Brady of Hillsville claims he
was driving the car that hit George
Dalton in 19-53.

Brady was 24 at the time of the
accident.

Now all these years later, the
Carroll County prosecutor says the
77-year-old confessed to the
hit-and-run shortly before undergoing
heart surgery last summer.

He's scheduled to appear in court
later this week.

If convicted of involuntarily
manslaughter, Brady could be sentenced
to 10 years in prison.
