(( Mills Godwin is the only man Virginians chose twice be their governor.
His career began in 1947 when he won a House Of Delegates seat.
In 1952, he moved over to the State Senate.
During that term, the U-S Supreme Court handed down the decision of Brown versus Board of Education which mandated desegregation.
Godwin resisted, saying that integration would be the inevitable destruction of public schools.
According to author James L. Bugg Jr., Godwin never publicly apologized for his role in massive resistance-- He did say,"We waited too long to do some of the things we should have done earlier to assure full opportunity in the education for our negro children."
Godwin resistance to desegregation didn't cripple his political career. In 1965, he was elected Governor as a Democrat.
Ironically, Godwin earned the title of "The Education Governor."
He convinced the state to vote for 80 million dollars in bonds for education.
During his first term, aid to schools more than doubled and teacher's salaries rose.
Godwin is also known for creating the community college system.

After his first term, he returned home to Nansemond County to practice law.

The Ice Station could be the training ground for the next pro hockey great.
Yes the Roanoke Express sometimes practice at the ice rink but budding stars I'm talking about are much younger.
On most nights the Ice Station is home to Roanoke Valley Youth Hockey games.

[OUT Q=that's nice]
Most of the parents had a lot to learn about hockey--from equipment struggles to the rules of the game.
And for many the physical side of the game was all they knew, but in this league the focus is on the skills.

[OUT Q=any checking]
Roanoke Valley Youth Hockey is in search of corporate sponsors because ice time is not cheap.
The winter season runs five months and parents must pay 340-dollars for each child who plays in the league.))

Mark and Josh are already looking forward to playing hockey in college. They play in league's summer session as well to sharpen their skills and get a little closer to their dream of one day playing pro-hockey.
