Readers rave about Potter Goblet of Fire in Princeton
Princeton area readers finish the fourth Harry Potter novel quickly. Marcie Gibbs, 16, the first to finish, bought her copy at Mercer Mall and read through Sunday. Chris Gore, library staff and children's activity coordinator, also bought the book and plans to see the film, though he notes films rarely match books. Gibbs calls it a book for everyone and predicts its lasting impact.

Phase two planned for Tug Fork flood project
McDowell County enters phase two of the 178 million Tug Fork Flood Control Project as phase one begins. The second phase covers Tug Fork near McDowell and Mingo borders toward Welch and Dry Fork from Jaeger to Bradshaw with five miles of Panther Creek. A landowners meeting is set for July 20 at Jaeger City Hall to discuss and accept applications for phase two. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will complete the project in about seven years, relocate or purchase over 900 properties, elevate many structures, and fund new Jaeger High School and county elementary and middle schools.

No widespread gold dollar coins in Bluefield area
In Bluefield and surrounding towns the new Golden Dollar coins circulate slowly and are mostly seen as keepsakes or collectors items. Banks report limited use with few coins found in vending machines and little impact on dollar bills. The Sacagawea design and 17 stars on the back are noted, but adoption remains minimal.
