After some speculation that he might join his former Virginia Cavaliers teammate Chris Long with the St. Louis Rams, UVA fourth-year offensive tackle Eugene Monroe was the eighth overall pick in this year’s NFL Draft, selected by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Monroe’s selection marks the fourth time in five years that a player from UVA has been drafted in the first round. Three other Wahoos heard their names called over the weekend: linebacker Clint Sintim was selected in the second round by the New York Giants, and running back Cedric Peerman became a Baltimore Raven in the sixth round, and tight end John Phillips went to the Dallas Cowboys, also in the sixth round.

Scott Shifflett creates a little chaos on the Mall with a 14-foot, 14-year old Albino Burmese Python named, appropriately enough, Chaos. “He’d be even longer if I had a bigger cage for him,” said Shifflett. (4)
With conditions being what they now are sure hope this fire was completely extinguished –wouldn’t want to see another Myrtle Beach fire in Albemarle. Do we have any state laws such as the one in South Carolina that legislate open burns ?
“Man cited in debris fire confirmed, commission links to cause of larger fire”
The Forestry Commission said in its statement naming Torchi, that “state law requires burners to notify the S.C. Forestry Commission, clear around the area to be burned, have adequate resources available to control the fire, and stay with the fire until it is safe to leave.”
Torchi said that he didn’t know he needed to notify anyone that he would be burning debris.
“I’ve been doing it every Saturday or Sunday for seven years,” he said.
