If you want to start a debate on what's right, or wrong, with Floyd nowadays just mention Woody Crenshaw's name. The 59-year-old entrepreneur is often a catalyst for arguments on both sides of the issue. No one can, or should, argue that Crenshaw (above) hasn't put his money where his mouth is when it comes to change in Floyd. He has poured thousands of dollars into renovation of the Country Store, reopened it as a daily store and lunch stop, and ramped up not only the Friday Night Jamboree but other weekend music offerings at the venue. |

Tales of woe about fallen trees, power outages, roofs ripped off by high winds and the trauma of the Virginia Tech shootings helped two Floyd County residents avoid punishment in Circuit Court Tuesday for failing to appear for jury duty last month.
Judge Ray W. Grubbs gave a pass to both Frank A. Vest and Lester F. Gillespie after they told similar stories on hardship as reasons for not showing up for jury duty on April 17.
"Your honor it was just a bad day," Vest told Grubbs. "I got up that morning to find that the wind has torn away part of a roof. Then the power went out. So I just went back to bed."
A few minutes later, Gillespie told the court he awoke to find three trees down across his driveway, forcing him to get out his chain saw to clear the way. |

The annual audit of Floyd County's governmental operations found significant accounting irregularities and multiple "reportable" problems in the administrative departments charged with overseeing other county agencies and monitoring their accounting performances, supervisors learned last week.
"I hate to end our long relationship on such a note but there is bad news," Deanna Cox of the auditing firm of Farmer, Cox & Associates told the board at their March monthly meeting. Supervisors voted last year to change auditors after many years of using Cox's firm. |
