[SUPER=03-Franklin Co./Yesterday]

State Police have yet to talk with with the wrecker truck driver.
He was treated and released from the hospital and since then police haven't been able to locate him.
The accident APPEARS to have been the result of "driver in-attention."
That won't be official, until police can consult with the Commonwealth's Attorney.
The wreck occurred around 3-30 yesterday as the wrecker ploughed into a car- -sending it careening into a school bus.
Two people were killed: 61-year old Geraldine Gillispie and her 8-year old granddaughter, Emily.

Some movement tonight in the debate over hog farms in Halifax County.

[SUPER=03-Halifax Co./Tonight;]

After seven months of review, the county's Planning Commision is recommending certain changes to the "confined animal feeding operation" ordinance.
Those changes include across-the-board increases to the current setbacks-- or the distance hog farms can be from neighboring property.
Even with stricter setbacks, some hog farms opponents say it's not enough.

[SUPER=03-Roanoke Co./Bobcats vs. Highlanders; :00]

Art Lawrence's Highlanders were beaten by Radford by a point last Saturday night so last night they were after revenge.
Brian Fasnacht drives and scores in between two defenders. He was red hot with 13 in the first half.
Radford would try to answer that with Josh Woods drive to the hole for two of his own.
But here comes Glenvar. Fasnacht turns Charlie Wright's pass into a tought two. Fasnacht finished the game with 28.
But every player had a hand in this Glenvar victory
[super=33-Radford/48/Glenvar/61;]
as great ball movment gets a hoop. And Glenvar gets a 61-to-48 win.

((They are a combined 2 and 12 in conference play. But that hardly takes away from Wednesday's clash, especially with in state bragging rights on the line. ((:)) ((:))
Rebuilding programs is just one of many similarities between tech and UVa. Both team's offensive catalists center around the forward position. Eddie Lucas averages nearly 16 points a game. ((:))
The senior's counter part is UVa freshman Chris Williams, who scores about 18 points a game. ((:))
So what are the keys to victory? The cavs will try and press while Tech will pound the ball inside.))
