                <description><![CDATA[Community School is a gem of an organization in our Valley.  They develop our future leaders, teachers and scientists, creating well-rounded humans.  The students are nurtured not only in the academic realm but also socially to be better citizens, colleagues and workers.  I find myself in awe at times when I hear an eleven year old girl discuss the complexities of world politics, listen to a fourteen year old boy help a five year old problem-solve an issue, or observe a group of kids pull off a superb and complex play.  They incorporate service to the community in their curriculum and their culture.
Hats off to a great part of Roanoke!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Heather, I have to disagree. I am sory you feel stuck here and even more sorry your are fighting cancer – prayers and hopes that you will beat this horrible disease quickly – but you are wrong, Roanoke is a wonderful place to live. We have some of the best hiking in the country right in our back yard. We get nationally recognized acts at venues like the Civic Centers and Jefferson Center regularly. We have tons of restaurants and bars to choose from, there are wonderful festivals throughout the year, and most of our neighborhoods and school systems are perfect for raising a family with children. Yes Roanoke may not be Chicago, but those of us that choose to live here don’t want it to be (and we especially don’t want the ridiculously high crime rates that Chicago enjoys.) Please don’t hate our valley just because you’re used to a bigger city experience.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I spent two summers at Gus Welch's farm near the Peaks of Otter in the mid 50's. As a D.C. city kid I appreciated the Welsh family and the farm life.  They ran a camp at their farm and treated 6-8 boys as their own, we stayed in an old converted salt house behind the white house.  Breakfast was in an old log attached kitchen, with Julia cooking on a wood stove.  He let me, as an eleven year old, ride his horses all over the foothills of the Blue Ridge.  His stories were long and great, wish I could remember them all.  I remember, Gus's adopted daughter, Serena, 16 years old, Miss Poccahontas, as my first kiss, teasingly on my cheek.  Gus left a a lasting good influence on me, through college, a military and Dept. of Interior career.  Even living in Wyoming I miss the Blue Ridge Mts. and my experiences with a great Native American.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[It's the 16th Annual Marine 5k Mud Run


Saturday, September 17, 2011 9:00 AM at Greenhill Park, Roanoke County, Virginia 


Hosted By Roanoke Valley Marine Corps League Detachment 426 &amp; Bravo Co. Marines 4th Combat Engineer Battalion

A Toys for Tots and Camp Roanoke Benefit.
 
If you have yet to take the Marine Mud Run Challenge, you're missing out on the cleanest fun you'll ever have with a 5K race! Many folks ask, just how tough is the course? We reply, it's as hard or easy as you want it to be! We have semi-pro runners down to the neighbor next door that has never entered a 5k race. Individual and 5 Person Team races and a Pollywog Jog for 12 yrs. and under.
 
One thing is for sure if you run this race the Marines will see to it that you finish it. Part of the Marines creed is to never leave another Marine behind. And for this event we will never leave a runner behind!]]></description>
