Thurmond NPR Won't Be Political
The NPR location decision is a technical issue, not political, Thurmond spokesman says. Hollings in Aiken claims the choice is a political contest between Idaho and South Carolina, with McClure and Hodel on Idaho’s side. SRP's NPR would extend plutonium and tritium production for the nuclear weapons program, risking plant mission if not chosen. Local leaders warn reduced or closed operations without NPR, a major campaign issue in Aiken County.

Transformation Dreams for Langley School to Center
In Langley, Rev. L O Foxworth and Walter McNeely and Rodney Sheppard of the Langley Water and Sewage Commission advance a memory of Melvin Wisham by converting the former Langley Elementary School into a community building park and recreation center. They have repurposed the annex as a volunteer fire department HQ and turned a pair of fire engines into part of the project. The plan includes creating a nature trail and social center in the cafeteria building while preserving the site’s historic ties to the town and Wisham’s dream.
