Imagine my surprise, and delight, when I received this email at 9:36 this morning from Henry Bass, a local Army reservist and business owner who we featured in a four-page spread in today's NRV Current:

Chris,

The blog articles and photos came out GREAT in today's paper- and guess what? Your timing was unbelieveable-- I have just arrived HOME!

My orders took me out to November 9th, but our unit transfered authority to the 36th Sustainment Brigade last week.  They had an earlier flight come open, and moved over a dozen of us up in the redeployment schedule! It was like a giant rollercoaster: we were waiting in Tallil for the next event, and suddenly we're in the redeployment ride, going from Tallil to Camp Virginia (Kuwait); then Fort McCoy, WI and home to Roanoke; and it's over! Or at least it's just beginning: reuniting with my family, and later on this week, with my work.

Henry

Just goes to show you that nothing ever works out the way you had it planned -- and sometimes, it's for the better. We have another four-page spread on Bass and his time in the Middle East planned for Wednesday's Current. Hopefully he'll like it just as much.

Welcome home, Henry.

Four Christiansburg residents were taken to the hospital Monday morning after falling ill to carbon monoxide exposure.

The Christiansburg Police Department, along with fire and rescue squads, were called to the 500 block of Oak Tree Boulevard shortly after 9 a.m., and found four males seated on the ground outside, according to a press release from the police department.

Officials found a carbon-monoxide build-up caused by a vehicle left running inside the garage at 570 Oak Tree Boulevard. The townhome units on both sides, 560 and 580 Oak Tree Boulevard, also registered high carbon monoxide levels.

William David Akers, 32, of 570 Oak Tree Boulevard, was taken to Montgomery Regional Hospital for carbon monoxide exposure. Three residents from 580 Oak Tree Boulevard -- Derek Kiss, 31, Russ Fox, 26, and Chris Bryson, 31, were also transported for exposure. All of the victims were conscious and alert, according to the release.

Fire department officials opened all three residences for ventilation and remained on scene until carbon monoxide readings returned to normal.

An wreck near Christiansburg sent four people to a hospital early Saturday morning.
