Virginia State Police troopers investigated three wrecks with injuries in Carroll County from May 12 and 13.

Ashley Nicole Moretz, 22, of Galax, driving a 2003 Dodge Neon, was exceeding the posted speed limit at the time, police said.
A 1994 Buick Regal, driven by Margie Sizemore, 82, of Galax, attempted to pull out of 885 when it was struck by the Neon.
Phipps charged Moretz with reckless driving.

Last year, the Blue Ridge Crossroads Economic Development Authority (BRCEDA) requested help from the Virginia Tobacco Commission to attract a potential business to Wildwood Commerce Park.
The tobacco commission had offered BRCEDA a $6 million grant to help with the development of Wildwood, contingent upon the unnamed prospect agreeing to locate in the commerce park, located at the Exit 19 intersection of Interstate 77 and Virginia 620 in Carroll County.

In the process of having six children, my Mother was encouraged by her doctor to wear a man made girdle which she has done most of her life.   The girdle would flatten the stomach and tighten the behind by constriction of the garment.  It gave support to the lower back and pelvic floor muscles.  Last, but not least, it held up your nylon stockings if it had the right snaps and attachments.  The girdle treated the symptoms, but did not solve the problem.
