			<description><![CDATA[Owen Moore says: &quot;Have to say that your suggestion is not based on facts and the GE claims are bull. Fox news gave a million to the right, blatenly and oftenly alter video to suit the story and focus soley on the right as heros - left as demons. Amazed that you would slam GE as they are a conservative corporation - worked there many years. as the right winger that you are, your corporate hypocracy astounds me. Isn't it you that stands for the rich and could care a hoot for the poor. Isn't you that call yourself a good child of God but cannot follow the teaching of love and good will? Oh its been awhile since I posted. You are prabably hiding your true self behind a Tea Bag. Its your party that ruined this country and it is your party that will eventually pay the price when all the hungry and poor and jobless folks realize that today's right wing mantra is what put them in the hell that they are in. It is you and your kind who spread the lies and it is your guilt that you will part this earth with sir.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[editor says: &quot;Floyd County news (what little there is) is found on our sister site at http://blueridgetoday.com. Geographically, Floyd County has never been part of the New River Valley. There is more of an interchange between Floyd, Patrick, Carroll, and Grayson counties, all of them having the Blue Ridge Parkway running through them. We do feature the news from BlueRidgeToday, but there is not a lot of news directly from Floyd County being sent in. The WSLS news feed is updated by WSLS, we don't have any control over how often it's updated, we just display what their newsfeed shows. But it definitely has different news headlines today than were there yesterday.&quot;]]></description>

			<title>Slaughterhouse sued by farmer for 5 million</title>
			<link>http://www.newrivervalleynews.com/area/23964-slaughterhouse-sued-by-farmer-for-5-million.html#comment-376</link>
			<description><![CDATA[themartins110 says: &quot;Here is another case of a man trying to blame others for the choices he made. If he felt it was unsafe to off-load the animals under the circumstances, then he should have refused to do so. And then to get in the trailer with the animals was the owners choice, no one forced or coerced him to do so. I am very sorry the owner of the cattle was injured, but he made choices that led to his injuries. I feel it is wrong to blame others for the choices we make. It all sounds like a plan to get money from people who did not control the owner of the cattle. I believe the only one who really wins in the vast majority of lawsuits is the lawyer.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sheckler says: &quot;More leftwing media bias. "Fox Business Channel's Charles Gasparino told Bill O'Reilly tonight that GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt gathered the CNBC reporters together in early 2009 and scolded them for reporting negatively on Barack Obama. GE owns 80% of NBC Universal." "We already knew that Jeffrey Immelt was pushing non-existent global warming so that his company could benefit from cap and trade legislation. Now we know that GE’s CEO was sitting at meetings in the White House and scolding his reporters for being hard on Obama."&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[crazyt143777 says: &quot;if someone comes to this country, do they not have the right to become legal???? how many do? this is so full of crap. people come here for all kinds of reasons, but the main one, is to work. the money. then the money is sent where? yeah, not here. i'm so sick of hearing about poor this person or poor that person because he's not from here, or he's here illegally and getting treated unfairly. ANYONE can come into this country legally. so why don't they? i do not feel sorry for anyone that comes into our country that is not supposed to be here. if we got rid of everyone that is here illegally, do you know how many jobs it would create for the citizens of this great country? A LOT!!!! if they want to work so badly, let them work in their own country. yes, a lot of reasons are there for why people come here, but again, GET LEGAL.... WHY IS THAT SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND???? let's spend thousands sending them back and forth... worth it? nope. but there has to be a line somewhere. this is our country. we are here legally. they have that chance. if they don't... stop whinning.&quot;]]></description>

Going from having an asbestos company come in to see if the asbestos level is high(i would imagine that is true of a lot of older buildings, just let it lie is the answer to that) is a far cry from all of a sudden saying the building is not habitable. If it could have been habitable when the asbestos issue came up then that was the issue. Using the money from the sale of the property for other schools could be considered if we could get more than the $4.4 million and get what it will be worth after it is rezoned. If the building is torn down then the land is still there for a school.&quot;]]></description>

That property could very well pay for a new high school that the kids of this town could be proud of. BUT NO...you are all scared a little green space will go away. This is an atrocity and the Blacksburg parents should sue the h*ll out of this school board and this town.&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Sarah Goad says: &quot;Dear Michael and Mary Ann, Emily called me to let me know that your mom had died. I have so many good memories of your mom and all of your family. What a blessing to have had the Armbrister family in my life. I know she is enjoying being in heaven with Jesus and if it works out that we get to welcome our loved ones into heaven I'm sure George was the first in line to welcome her. I think the things that stand out to me about your mom were her love for God, her positive outlook, enthusiasm and determination which she passed on to you. I would really like to reconnect with you Mary Ann. I seem to have lost your address. If you read this and will email me I would like to exchange addresses. I know you will miss your mom, I can sympathize, it is just hard to lose our parents, especially when we've had wonderful ones. God bless you and bring you comfort. Sincerely, Sarah Allison Goad&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Lynda Bishop Nelson says: &quot;As said in a commentary in the NRV Current on Sunday June 20,which I wrote,Put Students in Old Blacksburg Middle School,Let's use our older, tried and true buildings for our schools. Likd the old Blacksburg High/Middle School on Main St. It's problems are fixable. They would have been more fixable if attended to as they should have been. I believe there is a school in Elliston that is suffering from neglect. I do wish out county government would keep the taxpayer's property up.

			<description><![CDATA[Brenda Bouschard says: &quot;Dear Mary Ann & Michael, I just found out about Mrs. Armbrister a few days ago. I am so sorry to hear about her passing. I saw her at the All DHS Reunion in 2007 and stopped to take a picture with her. I treasure that picture, because I told myself I needed to let her know I appreciated her more than she ever knew. She had a major impact on my life in her strict teaching. I also still have "her book" she wrote in order to teach grammar her way, the right way. Mrs. Armbrister was always one of my favorite teachers. And...I Aced her class, by the way. She opened her class with, "No one makes an A in my class..." her way of letting us know that it wasn't easy and don't be too distressed about a B. That made me even more determined, and I did it! She had such a smile on her face when she handed me my report card. Thanks for sharing your mom with us all these years. She was the BEST!!! Brenda (Coake) Bouschard&quot;]]></description>

I lost my son in 02/13/09, he was stillborn.There are no words that can confort you or make the pain go away. The only advice I have is pray pray a lot and trust in god. He wil never put something in your life that you can't overcome. He will always be with you! My prayers are with you and your family in this time of sadness.&quot;]]></description>

			<title>06/04: Hot Dog and Bake Sale</title>
			<link>http://www.newrivervalleynews.com/area/giles/22337-0604-hot-dog-and-bake-sale.html#comment-268</link>
			<description><![CDATA[nonconformist says: &quot;I did say that I believe they have the best of intentions, just misguided considering facts about sodium nitrate. If you consider what most all hotdogs (and other lunchmeats) are actually made of I am surprised anyone would eat them. The addition of sodium nitrate just adds insult to injury....or in this case cancer. If it were me, I would hold an event featuring information on how to avoid conditions such as cancer through a healthy diet or even curing cancer naturally. I believe that would actually do more for the cause than collecting more money for big pharma to suck down the drain. A little may not kill you, but then, how much poison is good for you?&quot;]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ctrcityrp says: &quot;I would bet that the charity will happily accept your monetary donation in lieu of selling you a hot dog, if you are that concerned about this sort of thing. Besides, there is really no such thing as a 'nitrate-free' hot dog. Consumer Reports' testing found that Applegate Farms, Coleman Natural, and Whole Ranch contained nitrates and nitrites at levels comparable to many of the cured models. (http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/food/resource-center/hot-dogs-7-07/overview/0707_dogs_ov.htm) I, for one, applaud any group of folks that are having a fund raiser for such a worthy cause. A single hot dog every now & then won't kill you, and it's worth cheating on a diet on occasion if it's for a good cause. :-)&quot;]]></description>
