<< A large ridge of high pressure
settled in across the region will mean

a very dry week, with above average
temperatures. Look for highs each day
reaching 90 degrees. Records are
possible in Blacksburg Wednesday (old
record 90/1954). Skies will be
generally clear at night with lows in
mid 60s. A weak cool front will
approach the area next Saturday with
partly sunny skies. Next week, we're
watching an area of low pressure
expected to develop of the coast of
Florida and move northwest into the
mid-Atlantic. This "could" interact
with a cold front providing a decent
chance of showers late in the weekend
and early next week.TUESDAY NIGHT:
Mostly clear and comfortable. Low:
60,WEDNESDAY: Mostly sunny and warm.

Dr. Steven Karras says there is
no hard and fast rule.

While his Cave Spring Veterinary

healthy animal will be euthanized, it's
not always that simple.

(END SOT)

Though Felter denied trying to
kill Daisy Mae, evidence was presented
in court indicating Felter did try to
put the dog down herself.

She allegedly gave the dog two
dozen pain pills. She was even said to
be ready to use anti-freeze.

In a situation like that, Doctor
Karras says, it might be best if a
professional goes ahead and puts the
animal to sleep.

While the best interests of
clients and their patients occasionally
collide, an experienced veterinarian
can often glean more from the pet than

the person.

right where they are at Number 9 in
both polls, there opponent this
Saturday L-S-U stayed put as well at
Number 2 in the country.

With both teams in the Top 10
there is no bigger game in College
Football this weekend. The Hokies and
Tigers kickoff in Baton Rouge at 9:15
Eastern Time.

If Tech is going to have a chance
at winning, they are going to have to
show marked improvement from there

first outing of the season against East
Carolina where the Hokies were less
than impressive.

VO-NAT Fossett took off in a single

engine plane yesterday full of enough
fuel to fly four to five hours.

He hasn't been heard from since.

Crews are searching hundreds of
miles of rugged terrain for any sign of
Fossett.

In 2002, Fossett became the first

person to travel solo around the world
in a balloon.

telethon to raise money for
neuromuscular disease research raised
over 63 million dollars...

But the telethon also came with
some controversy...Lewis now faces
criticism after he used an anti gay
slur during the Labor Day telethon.

Today Lewis apologized and issued
a statement..He said he was making a
joking comment to a member of his
production team and anyone who knows
him understands that he has no
prejudices in this regard.

The vintage steam locomotive was
pulled from the Virginia Museum of
Transportation around 7 o'clock, and
pushed to the East End Shops.

Norfolk Southern is celebrating
the 125th anniversary of the Roanoke
shops with a private event on Saturday,
and the museum is lending both the 611
and the 1218 for the occasion.

The museum moved the 611 about 25
feet several weeks ago, but director
Bev Fitzpatrick says he believes this
is the first time since the mid 90s
that the engine has actually taken a
trip like this outside the museum's
rail yard.
