BAN MOTOR BOATS IN CARVINS COVE
WHY IS Roanoke so willing to risk the introduction of Zebra mussels into its water supply by continuing to permit motor boats in the Carvins Cove reservoir?

Harrisonburg has a no-motors policy for its reservoir, and without a Smith Mountain Lake nearby! Someday we will wish we had done the same. BOBBI NAGY ROANOKE
