Wow! 100,803 visits last month to EverythingNRV.com. Thanks for stopping in! 8.6% raise for Montgomery County teachers. GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!! It's still not enough with what you deal with and the lives we put into your hands to mentor, train and teach. How about 10% next year? The issue here is not the size of the raise, but how quickly we can pay our teachers what they are really worth! |

The Christiansburg Town Council has some issues, and it doesn't appear they are in any hurry to correct them. The problems are so many it seems, that nobody could sit down and write just a few paragraphs about it all. It would be more like a novel. Thus, I'll keep my comments and opinions down to a short few, all timely before the elections next week. |

Another strike? Workers at Federal Mogul in Blacksburg have hit the picket lines this morning. The plant is located in the Blacksburg Industrial Park. Local Union 2533 of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Union (IAMAW) is on strike because of wages. However, this strike is somewhat different than that of the UAW strike on Volvo just a few weeks ago. The UAW strike was over a new contract as the old one had expired. This strike is over a 4 year contract only in its second year. Hey, if you agreed to it and if they are honoring it, get your butt back to work. |

Lots happening in the news and surroundings this week, and much to have an opinion about. Remember, feel free to comment on the tidbits or tell us what's on your mind! Things To Do. Our EverythingNRV Calender shows eight (8) great events going on in the area on Saturday. Many activities dot the board for Sunday as well. Simply go into our calender and see what is happening in the New River Valley, then get outdoors and do something! And since you "never know how you look until you get your picture took" EverythingNRV will be covering many of these events and will bring you the stories, pictures and video. On a personal note, I am disappointed there were not more activities and things to do this week noting the great accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King on the 40th anniversary of his death. |

Looks like Obama is starting to feel the heat. As an update to my opinion piece from yesterday I'd like to add something that the Associated Press is reporting today. At a town hall meeting yesterday, Obama was asked if he would consider Al Gore for a post in his administration. |
