CANDIDATES' FORUM SCHEDULED

Then come to Thursday's candidates forum at Falling Branch Elementary School in Christiansburg.

The Roanoke Times' New River Current is sponsoring the forum so Montgomery County voters may ask questions of the candidates for sheriff and commonwealth's attorney. This is the first countywide forum featuring just the candidates for these two hotly contested races.

The forum starts at 7 p.m. and will be moderated by Richard Rich, chairman of the Virginia Tech department of political science.

Incumbent Phil Keith and challenger Joey Showalter will present their arguments for their bids to be Montgomery County commonwealth's attorney.

Sheriff candidates Doug Marrs, Jerry Olinger, Garnett Adkins and O.P. Ramsey also will speak and answer voters' questions.
