Faculty Death
Professor Elizabeth Billson passed away in her sleep around three in the morning. She suffered from cancer for ten years. During her 36 years of instructing at Liberty University, Professor Billson taught approximately ten thousand prospective teachers. She was the recipient of Liberty University’s “Outstanding Professor” award last year. The students and faculty will grieve this recent loss through a prayer vigil held at DeMoss Hall around six o’clock this evening.
Wreck
Last night a two-truck collision occurred on 1-95. Both
drivers are without injury. The roadways were blocked on both sides for about
45 minutes and traffic was jammed. There was also an oil slick caused by fuel
that spilled from both trucks. The accident happened on the part of 1-95 that
is currently undergoing repairs. The lanes narrow into two at that spot and the
trucks hit head on. Both drivers claim to have braked but they still ended up colliding.
They each have histories of speeding and reckless driving.
8.3 Writing an Audio News Story with Actuality
The recently repaired, 75 year old bridge that sits over
Roaring Creek has finally re-opened for use. It was washed out by a flood last
year and the county has spent the past 11 months trying to repair it. According
to Roland Lively, the department head of the County Department of
Transportation, the county was already setting aside some funds to repair the
bridge. (actuality) Those funds, however, were not enough to cover the seven hundred
thousand dollar replacement fee. The county was able to afford replacing it after
the state and the U.S. Department of Transportation chipped in. While the
bridge was out, residents in the Oak Grove neighborhood had to drive farther up
Roaring Creek Road to connect onto Highway 19. With the bridge back in order,
they now only have to drive about a mile to get to the highway.
Last
year's record of 3 wins and 22 losses for the Harbrace University women's basketball
team brought them their third losing season. Coach Jess Storey
resigned at the end of the season, and Harbrace announced her replacement
earlier today. Pam Neubaugher (NEW-bow-er), the assistant coach for three years
at Staley Colley in Pennsylvania, accepted the position. Neubaugher feels a lot
of potential for Harbrace this season and she is determined to find some good
recruits to help secure that feeling. (actuality) Neubaugher played basketball at the
University of California, Long Beach, and made the all-conference team her
senior year. She is also six feet two inches tall.
