Largest black bear draws attention at Grandfather Hollow Campground
Athens reports the world’s largest black bear, nicknamed Blue at 9 feet 2 inches and 1,000 pounds, lives with eight other captive bears at Grandfather Hollow Campground in southern West Virginia. Entrepreneur Roger Brogan notes regulatory hurdles and federal approval followed by preparation of holding areas before release into a 150 acre habitat. The bears, six males and three females bred from Florida Tennessee and North Carolina stock, are housed behind an eight foot electric fence and are fed on site. Visitors are welcome to view and camp at reasonable rates as the facility nears full operation.

Norfolk Southern to Appeal Verdict Over Train Fatality
Norfolk Southern plans to ask McDowell County Court to reconsider a 938000 verdict awarded to Jeanette Craighead mother of Steven Craighead who was hit by an NS locomotive on November 12 1991 and died the next day in Welch. Lawyer J Franklin Long argued Craighead had access rights and the safety lapses were cited. The May 1994 ruling assigned 70 percent fault to NS with 100000 for mental anguish and 825842.67 for loss plus 12871.93 for medical costs.
