As Galax school administrators worked figures based on the worst case scenario — the proposed budget from the state House of Delegates — over the past few weeks, receiving final figures from the state came as a relief, said Galax Schools' Superintendent Bill Sturgill.
During a board meeting last month to approve the new budget, Sturgill said the final state figures came close to the budget proposed by the Senate.
HILLSVILLE — Carroll County Circuit Court last week released several indictments that had been sealed until those charged could be served with court papers.
An indictment is a formal charge, not a finding of guilt.
Those named in the indictments include:
• Rex Edward Smith — conspiracy to distribute cocaine, a schedule II drug (two counts)
• Michael Roland Cox — distribution of methadone, a schedule II drug
The Carico Bridge will be closed indefinitely while the state builds a replacement, causing motorists traveling between Galax and Fries to take longer alternate routes.
The bridge, which crosses New River in Grayson County, closed March 11 after a Virginia Department of Transportation inspector noticed damage to the bridge's crossbeams, apparently the result of a too-tall vehicle driving across it.
HILLSVILLE — After arguing over water and sewer bills and rate calculations in court filings for years, attorneys for Hillsville and Carroll County went toe-to-toe in a March 30 motions hearing about the long-standing utilities disagreements between the two localities.
Hillsville has appealed to the Carroll County Circuit Court to grant its claims against the county for water and sewer service to the Interstate 77 area and sewer service to county buildings in the amount of $156,199.
INDEPENDENCE -- Getting through the final six and one-half innings Thursday was a breeze, but the first 20 minutes spoiled what was otherwise a tremendous pitchers' duel.
HILLSVILLE -- April of 1993 was the last time Carroll County and Galax had met on the baseball field in varsity competition. The once-heated rivalry was ended following a 29-3 win by the Cavaliers that included 15 walks and eight errors by the Maroon Tide.
HILLSVILLE -- Carroll County pitcher Lillie Kimble struck out 14 Graham batters in five innings Tuesday as the Cavaliers opened Southwest District play with a 23-0 pounding of the G-Girls.
To reach the top level of collegiate athletics, any athlete must be willing to go the extra mile. Galax High School senior Devae Goins is willing to go 2,200 of them.

Land Transfers
These land transfers were recorded Jan. 9-Feb. 17 in the office of Susan M. Herrington, clerk of the Grayson County Circuit Court, Independence:
The Carrico Bridge on Virginia 94 over the New River, which closed March 11 for inspection after being damaged by an overheight vehicle, will remain closed while a new bridge is built, according to a press release Monday from the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Construction of the new bridge in Grayson County was scheduled to begin this fall and plans were to use the existing bridge for traffic during construction and remove the old bridge upon completion of the new one.

Letters to the Editor: 08.09.05
It was interesting to see a brief letter to the editor from Cal Thomas responding to an earlier letter by Ann E. Smith ("No ties", Aug. 4). He had me going for a moment by asserting that he had no "tie" with the Jewish settler movement, but when he concluded by arguing that he was not in the "Christian right wing," I almost spilled my coffee.
I know, he coyly chose his words in that denial by changing his assertion to neither belonging to nor contributing to any Christian right-wing "organization," but come on. Karl Rove can parse his words about being one of the key sources in the disclosure of a CIA agent's identity, and the administration plays similar word games about budget deficits, tax policy, and civil rights.
Mr. Thomas now joins in appearing to deny the obvious. Surely he's not denying being a Christian, and to hear him speak, he is unabashedly conservative and right-wing. So what message is he trying to send? Is the elephant in the paper really claiming to be a donkey? Or is he really just an elephant with "identity issues?"

Losing a base
Your article on Naval Air Station Oceana was excellent and should prove a lesson to military communities everywhere ("Conditions hinder Virginia base", Aug. 3).
As a former 31-year resident of that area, I watched a rural air base become encroached upon by massive construction, including a major mall and schools in high noise zones and crash zones. The construction was followed by an outcry of surrounding citizens to change flight patterns and flight schedules due to noise levels. The city council chose to ignore the requests of the Navy in exchange for more tax dollars.
Sorry, Virginia Beach, you deserve to lose NAS Oceana. Your beautiful upscale city is facing a devastating economic loss. Should South Texas gain, I hope lessons are learned.

'Not-so-good' old boys
I wanted to respond to all the bad publicity that Monika DeLaGarza received last year, but decided against it. However, I will not keep quiet this time.
These vicious Bucaraders need to be placed where they belong. I don't think it was necessary to print the same garbage that was printed last year, but it was ("Women seeking posts on Buc panel," Aug. 3).
Talk about attitude; why not talk about guts? It seems she had the guts to volunteer for a difficult job and a good cause. Now that more women are being considered, the Good Old Boys cannot back down. Very clearly, who has the attitude here? Ganging up on one person, and she being female, is not fair.
The worst part is that the "guys" who nominated her were treated with much disrespect and were intimidated, and yet they are still faithful to the "manly Corpus Christi male" power. It is absolutely disgusting.
I am Monika's mother and very proud to have her as my daughter.
Patsy De La Garza
Not ashamed
Re: Arturo Vasquez, "Moore on target," Aug. 4. If Mr. Vasquez, after viewing "Fahrenheit 9/11," is so ashamed of being an American, maybe he should consider becoming a Middle Easterner and go to the Middle East. I'm sure his think-alike partners, Alec Baldwin, Bruce Springsteen and the Dixie Chicks, will be waiting with open arms.
I have never been more proud of the red, white, and blue. God help me if I ever say something stupid like being ashamed to be an American.
Porfirio G. Moreno Jr.
Person with class
Three cheers for the Buccaneer Commission panel for finally considering giving up their no-girls-allowed club that has been acceptable for the past 67 years.
Last year a local businesswoman named Monika DeLaGarza had the audacity to try and infiltrate the secret order of the Bucaraders and was made out to be some kind of femi-Nazi for even considering it. One member of the Bucaraders even had the gall to go public with comments that sounded like the grand master of the KKK.
Monika shook the commission so badly that a year later she is being attacked for her efforts to contribute to the Buc Days festivities. In the Aug. 3 Caller-Times, one member of the Bucaraders was quoted saying Ms. DeLaGarza's attitude, not her gender, kept her from being selected for the boys' varsity team. Ms. DeLaGarza has too much class to be affiliated with this want-to-be Band of Brothers. She has proven it with not only her great work with the Corpus Christi State Aquarium, but also with the recognition she has brought to the Coastal Bend Bays and Estuaries.
She is a role model for any young aspiring female and has never shown anything less than a great attitude and complete love for her community.

A good vote
I would like your readers to know that Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz has earned the gratitude of farmers and ranchers all over Texas with his courageous support of the Central American Free Trade Agreement. People can quibble if they like over the benefits of free trade, but there is very little doubt that this agreement represents a gain for the farm and ranch families of this state.
U.S. agriculture produces far more than can be consumed domestically. We simply must open export markets if our own farming and ranch operations are to be profitable. In the case of CAFTA, U.S. markets have been open to the affected products for some time. Now, we will have access to the markets of Central America.
The American Farm Bureau Federation estimates that this new market could be worth a billion and a half dollars a year in increased trade. Perhaps even more important, this agreement signals that the U.S. will move forward to develop more free and fair trade throughout the world.
Thank you, Congressman Ortiz. This vote was greatly appreciated and it could be one of the most important you'll ever cast.

Unsafe visitors
I want to thank Police Chief Ben Zapata of Driscoll for trying to make our highways safer. I think it is absurd that he is being investigated for "profiling" ("FBI inquiry targets Driscoll," July 29).
Whenever I am on U.S. 77, I see caravans of vehicles being towed to Mexico. When passing them, I see the unsafe conditions that would cause Police Chief Zapata to pull these vehicles off the road. I see bizarre gizmos used for towing, missing license plates, no lights on the towed vehicle, and other things that would almost be humorous if they were not so dangerous.
As a Texan, I am required to abide by our traffic laws, and have a driver's license and liability insurance. When non-Texans drive on our highways, they, too, should have to abide by our laws.
The fact that these vehicles are mostly driven/towed by Mexican nationals is no reason to consider what he is doing as "profiling." Also, because these caravans always consist of two vehicles, he only has to stop one a day to impound two vehicles a day.
I hope the police chiefs in the towns the caravans are detouring through will be concerned about our highway safety and stop these traffic violators, too.

Not just Hispanics
I am a Protestant, middle-class Anglo American who has decided to make Corpus Christi my home.
I grew up in Alamo Heights and Plano, Texas.
I attended Jesuit Prep. Dallas, and U.T. Austin.
I am now 32 years old and I am two semesters short of graduating with my A.S. Chem. Pre-Pharmacy. I hope to attend the Irma Rangel School of Pharmacy.
My Spanish, in general, is much more fluent than that of the average Hispanic citizen of Corpus Christi. I embrace my culture as a Texan.
I know the importance of Corpus Christi as a city that has led both the state and the nation in the recognition of the abilities and potential of the Hispanic community.
As I read the editorial July 31, I became upset. The editorial staff seems to believe that our new pharmacy school was built only for Hispanics. In this part of South Texas, though, if you are Anglo, you are the minority.
Hispanics, in general, are given preference in almost all facets of our society. My grandparents and parents both fought and voted for equality above superiority. I have never felt superior or that I deserve any special treatment.
I wonder what Dr. Garcia would have to say about the fact that the Caller-Times is openly publishing an editorial that is obviously discriminatory.

Meghan Trainor has one of the hottest summer jams this season with "All About That Bass," her tribute to those girls with that extras "boom boom that all the boys chase." And no summer jam worth it's saltwater taffy doesn't have that deep low end, usually thanks to a grooving bass riff, that makes you want to grind into the wee hours on a hot summer night. We asked Meghan to share some of her favorite bass-riffs with us and pulled together 8 more down rump thumpers that will have you shaking the junk in your trunk until school starts in the fall. From disco to classic rock, from the King of Pop to the King of Punk Funk, check out 10 songs that are all about that bass.
Michael Jackson "Billie Jean"
Based (get it, based?) around the pumping bassline of session player Louis Johnson, this track was the first breakout hit of MJ's Thriller album. Producer Quincy Jones actually wanted to cut the extended intro but Michael protested. You know who won the argument.
Earth, Wind & Fire "Let's Groove"
This post-disco pop funk epic is centered on a relentless, repeating bassline that really does make you want to, uh, groove.

5 easy ways to keep your kid's room updated
Have you ever just stopped and said to yourself "What is up with this room?" I find that happens when my room decor and style has been there so long that it is no longer an inspiration for me. It can also happen to a kid's room too. If this is you and/or your kid, here are five easy ways you can update your kid's dull-looking room.
Go Vintage
Instead of stocking your kid's room with mass-produced, easy-to-assemble furniture, look for vintage bedroom pieces. If you spend the time to do this now, you are sure to have furniture that will transition with your little girl going tween; and you can keep that girls bedding butterfly quilt as a wall decoration.
Create Art
By creating high impact artwork, you create a beautiful bedroom and can easily update a bedroom. To make the art special, involve your child throughout the process: from colors to design.
Use/Create Space
If your child's bedroom doesn't have space for play, then create one now. You'll thank yourself when a rainy day comes. If not a play space, then try creating a workspace for your child in their room. It will be helpful for homework and helpful if your child loves quiet activities that involve concentration.
Be Whimsy
Wall decals are the latest cheap way to update walls in glorious detail. From trees to flowers to video games, there is sure to be a wall decal you and your child can agree on. The best thing is that wall decals are easy to remove once everyone is over them.
Focus on Their Passion
Allow your child's passion to direct how you update your child's room. Find accessories that can be used in your child's decor that relates to their passion.

Washington Third Graders' Final Performance of Washington's Breakfast
Back in 1995, Linda Hintze, third grade teacher at Washington School for Comprehensive Literacy, read a book called George Washington's Breakfast. She had her students read the book and it generated so much interest that someone suggested that she write a play about George Washington. As a result, Breakfast at Mt. Vernon was born!
Every year since 1995, Hintze's class begins by reading the book and learning everything they can about the country's first president. Hintze and her class then decorate their classroom to resemble Mt. Vernon and the students present the play, Breakfast at Mt. Vernon, to family and friends. Hintze commented, "Each year new memories are made. As one girl was reading about George Washington this year, I heard her exclaim to another child, 'George Washington married a window?...Oh, a widow.'
Hintze added, "Presenting this play is always a highlight of the year for the students and for me. It's very bittersweet to think that this is my last time since I will retire at the end of this year!"

Myers Park uses 3 home runs to top Chase 13-3
Myers Park belted three home runs, including Jack Shaw's two-run walk-off blast to overwhelm Chase 13-3 in the 2013 North Carolina 10-11 state championship Monday at Dunbar Park.
In addition to their hitting, the Myers Park pitching staff held the powerful Chase line up to just one hit, a Tyler Pinkerton 3-run homer in the third inning.
Chase mounted a threat in the top of the first as Heath Waldrop and Tyler Pinkerton walked with two outs. Bryson Atkins struck out against Myers Park pitcher Jack Shaw to end the frame.
Carter Flanagan led off the bottom half with a double but the home team was kept off the scoreboard as Chase turned in a defensive play. Pinkerton uncorked a pitch to the screen, but Waldrop raced out of his crouch and flipped the ball to his pitcher to record the final out.
After Chase went quietly in the second, Myers Park batted around and scored six runs. Kyle Evens and Henry Mingis each had RBI singles, Jackson Krisko and William Atwell had back to back two RBI doubles to account for the scoring in the frame.
Pinkerton helped his cause in a big way in the third. After Caleb Lanser and Weston Harrill walked, Pinkerton put a ball well over the left field wall to cut the deficit in half at 6-3.
Myers Park also used the long ball to give themselves that six-run bulge back in their next at bat. Evens sent a solo shot to right. After a walk, William Atwell also went deep to right to make the tally 9-3.
Myers Park added single run in the fourth on an error and did the same in the fifth, before Shaw's walk off homer sealed the 13-3 mercy rule win.
Chase drops to the loser's bracket and will play at 8 p.m. today immediately following Forest City's game at 6 p.m.

text: In a world where word of mouth and the judgment of the hive mind is worth more than any ad or the ruminations of many professional reviewers, companies will do just about anything to ensure a strong rating on outlets like Amazon. It's clear that dummy accounts simply aren't the way to go, but what about bribing your existing customers? Apparently VIP Deals thought that route was perfectly acceptable and offered rebates to people who rated their products on Amazon. Now, the offer letter (which you can see at the more coverage link) doesn't explicitly ask for a five star review, but it is strongly suggested that the company expects one in exchange for receiving the product for free -- in this case, a leather Kindle Fire case. VIP's reviews and its products have all since been booted from Amazon, but it certainly raises plenty of questions about the ease with which some companies are able to game the system and how a reputable outlet can protect its customers from ratings scams.

Best Smoothie St. Louis 2003 - Kaldi's Coffeehouse & Market Bakery
Kaldi's Coffeehouse & Market Bakery
700 DeMun Ave.
Clayton, MO 63105
Really, all you do to make a smoothie is dump some fruit and some juice into a blender, then press the magic button. It's not that hard and takes maybe five minutes tops. But then, there's the flavor-combination factor -- and this is where Kaldi's reigns supreme: They know what fruit works with what juice and when to add some yogurt and whatnot. They're a bit pricey -- $3.85 for a small, $4.85 for a large -- but you have to pay for quality. Try an Oranga Tangy (orange, raspberry and banana, baby) or a Peaches and Cream (peaches, banana, yogurt, honey, orange juice and a drop of vanilla). Drink it, and within five minutes you've got an energy boost that's not only delicious, but nutritious.

Ben Nelson, the conservative Democratic Senator who in recent months has had a voting profile not unlike a conservative Republican, announced his opposition to the DREAM Act, leaving Democratic leaders in search of additional Republican votes to make up the difference.
The DREAM Act would allow undocumented students who were brought to this country as children a meaningful path to citizenship if they entered college or military service. Oddly, Nelson's justification was that he wouldn't support anything that "adds to the military."
"I'm not going to support any act that I don't think adds to jobs, or military or to the economy. Consequently I won't support any motion to proceed or any kind of cloture on the DREAM Act," Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) told POLITICO. "In addition, I think that has to be part of an overall comprehensive solution to immigration once we have the border secured, not until then."
The Defense Department's own FY2010-2012 Strategic Plan cited the DREAM Act as an important measure to bolster an all-volunteer military force. So even by Nelson's own standards, he is wrong.
What's more, allowing undocumented students who didn't make the decision to come to America to get citizenship has a clear economic benefit. These students would be able to get higher-paying jobs and contribute to the economy in a much more important way than if they were consigned to the underground economy as an undocumented worker. High-skill immigrants bring multiple benefits to the US economy, and we should be welcoming more of them, not placing barriers in their way.
As for the raw vote totals, Nelson's opposition means that only 57 Democrats would be available for passage, if the rest of them stayed firm (an open question). While Richard Lugar and Bob Bennett have publicly announced their support for a standalone bill on the Republican side, others have hemmed and hawed. It will be difficult to round up the votes to break an expected filibuster, especially if more Democrats defect.

By Spc. Benjamin Watson Special to American Forces Press Service
FORT BRAGG, N.C., April 28, 2009 How does this sound for your morning physical training session?
Begin by carrying a canoe over muddy slopes in the dark, race in two-man teams through the forest to a river bank; then paddle your canoe nearly six miles down a cold and muddy river; next, put on your body armor, full rucksack and advanced combat helmet and push a tire up and down three-and-a-half miles of hills as the sun rises above the trees and out of the morning fog.
You could call it adventurous. Lt. Col. Robert J. Neitzel, chief of operations for the 82nd Airborne Division, does. He described the workout as "adventure PT," or a series of team-oriented challenges meant to work the upper body and test the overall physical fitness of his paratroopers.
On April 23, soldiers assigned to the Division's operations team found out exactly how exhausting and beneficial Neitzel's "adventure PT" could be.
"First and foremost, most people don't have a lot of experience canoeing," Neitzel, a native of Horicon, Wisc., said, "so just the simple fact of going straight down a river that's got a current and has a lot of twists to it, these guys have to talk to each other."
"Canoeing isn't something that we do on a regular basis," said Capt. Evan Hessel, battle captain with "The Team" and Portland, Ore. native, "so really for the first 30 minutes, you're really getting to know your teammate and basically getting in sync. It was not easy right off the bat."
Hessel's teammate was Staff Sgt. Kenneth J. Ciszek, a communications sergeant with "The Team."
"He's a good guy," Hessel said, "and he's from New York so he's got a little bit of experience outdoors – New York upstate, not the city."
Hessel said he hadn't been in a canoe since he was 12 years old.
"The river's a different animal, especially before the sun comes up," he said. "We ran into the bank a couple times, into a few branches, even a few trees that had fallen down. Luckily, I was not in one of the canoes that had, you might say, taken a swim. But I know a couple of the guys did just that."
One challenge few had planned for was a short, but intimidating waterfall. Teams could either try their hand at going through it, or disembark on the bank and walk their canoe around it before returning to the river.
Almost all of the teams chose to go around, taking the lost time in stride.
However, 1st Lt. Yonel Charles, a Miami native and battle captain with "The Team," and teammate, Maj. Charles D. Bovey, native of Everett, Wash., and shift director for the headquarter's Joint Operations Cell, elected to proceed right on through the falls.
To their surprise, they kept their canoe afloat. They were so surprised, in fact, they started cheering and high-fiving each other. Then their canoe flipped and they were suddenly shoulder-deep in the cold water of Fort Bragg's Little River.
But despite their spill at the waterfall, Bovey and Charles finished in second place.
Capt. Ben Salt, a native of Crantock, Cornwall, England, a captain in the British Army attached to "The Team," and his teammate, Capt. Jose. J. Hernandez, battle captain with "The Team" and native of Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, finished the day's events in third place, but not before having to rally from an early last place position.
"We were second in the water," Salt said, "then we went to last and had to learn how to steer. At one point, we were about 300 meters behind everyone."
Once the teams exited the river, their positions were established. Teams did not pass each other on the long, tiresome push to the finish line.
After letting the tire fall at the end, Salt announced, "It feels like I just did one-thousand push-ups."
The team of Hessel and Ciszek came in fourth place, appearing more than happy to be done taking turns pushing their heavy, awkward tire up and down hills.
"This was definitely a team-building, cohesion event," Hessel said, referring to the persistence and communication "adventure PT" requires, "because everybody's done a ruck-run, but not everybody's done a ruck-run while pushing a tire."
Neitzel and his teammate, Capt. James G. Repshire, a battle captain on "The Team," finished first, crossing the line at almost exactly 8 a.m.
"Both of them are kind of woodsmenesque, so they've got it going on," Bovey said of Neitzel and Repshire.
As a trophy, Neitzel and Repshire – or "Team Awesome" – were given a customized ping-pong paddle with the words "The Team" written across its face with a marker.
"In everything we do, we always focus on team work," Neitzel said, wrapping up the morning with a few words for his paratroopers – nearly all of whom are deploying together very soon to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom.
"We're more than one person or just an entity," he said as everyone stood in a huddle, sore but pleased with what they'd accomplished as a team. "If you look at what we are, we are 'The Team.' It's everybody and what they contribute."

Severe weather rolled across the Plantersville area then the Waccamaw Neck Tuesday afternoon prompting a tornado warning and injuring a man who was struck by lightning.
The man, a landscaper whose name has not been released, walked out of his home in the 300 block of Field Gate Circle in the Rice Fields neighborhood Tuesday and was hit by the lightning bolt, according to Midway Fire Rescue spokesman Bob Beebe.
He said its believed lightning hit a tree then hit the man. Reports from the scene indicated he had been struck in the head and the bolt exited his feet.
Before emergency workers arrived, Central Dispatch reported the man was talking. Beebe confirmed he was conscious when EMS got to him.
He was transported to the hospital for treatment.

2013 Annual Report
Find new sources of insect resistance and integrate into oilseed and confectionery lines. Over the 5-yr period, > 500 germplasm sources were tested for resistance to major sunflower insect pests under field conditions. Greatest progress was made for the red sunflower seed weevil. Germplasm developed for the weevil is agronomically very good and reduces weevil damage by ~ 75%. For the banded sunflower moth, a recombinant inbred line population was developed and is being evaluated for resistance. The first populations developed for the sunflower moth and sunflower stem weevil showed inconsistent results, suggesting these sources are not suitable for future breeding work. This has focused our future work on discovering resistance mechanisms which can be tested under lab and greenhouse conditions, thus increasing our efficiency. Work on the inheritance of two sunflower moth-specific resistance traits is underway.
Transfer new sources of disease resistance into high yielding backgrounds. Over the 5-yr period, our germplasm enhancement project has formed 162 breeding populations and developed new inbred lines with disease and insect resistance traits. From these populations, around 8,000 yield trial plots have been planted across the sunflower growing region (ND, SD, MN, KS, TX) to assess yield and agronomic quality, as well as disease and insect resistance. Four germplasm releases were made in 2011 and nine are planned for 2013, combining multiple disease resistances (SSR, SHR, PSC and DM) with yield and agronomic traits of importance. These releases will help seed companies by providing germplasm that can be used in conjunction with genetic markers.
This and companion project 5442-21000-034-00D have been merged into a new project 5442-21000-039-00D titled "Sunflower Genetic Improvement with Genes from Wild Crop Relatives and Domesticated Sunflower."
