Saving God's Handiwork on North Carolina’s New River
The New River, described as the nation’s oldest stream, earned a major victory as the U S Senate moved to include it in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers system. The bill, if approved by the House, could halt the Blue Ridge Power Project and its hydroelectric plans that would flood thousands of acres. Environmentalists celebrate a rare bipartisan stand within North Carolina’s delegation.

Postal payroll scandal at the Post Office
