Public hearings planned on striped bass amendment
Two public meetings sponsored by the Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission discuss amendments to the Atlantic Coast Striped Bass Management Plan. The first is 7 p.m. Wednesday at the North Carolina Aquarium in Manteo. the second is 7 p.m. Thursday at Halifax Community College in Weldon. The proposal aims to clarify guidelines, define recovery, and adjust harvest rules while noting inland waters remain stressed in Albemarle Roanoke. Officials say bycatch mortality and illegal harvesting affect recovery. proposed quotas set about 28 000 pounds for sports in both sound and river, with 98 000 pounds allowed to be taken from the sound by commercial fishermen.

Corps picks Hobucken bridge route amid pit dispute
The U S Army Corps of Engineers selects a route to span the Intracoastal Waterway at Hobucken for a new bridge while upholding restrictions on a proposed soil-borrow pit. Residents objected to health and water concerns, and a second pit may be added due to truck weight on the aging swing span. The project, replacing the NC 33 NC 304 bridge, includes 3764 feet of roadway and 2538 feet of bridge with a 65 foot vertical clearance, with contracts slated for January 1 1995 and a three year completion horizon.

Middle Street Tar Cleanup Will Cost City Up To $1500
Public works director Danny Meadows estimates the vandalism on Middle Street’s new sidewalk will cost about 1200 to 1500 dollars to repair. Intruders climbed the Jenkins Gas building roof between Aug 21 and Monday morning and spilled tar over 200 to 250 square feet of the brick and cement sidewalk. The hexagonal pavers are stained and must be replaced, with insurers covering the building facade cleanup. The city awaits owners to finish cleanup before sidewalk replacement.

Politically Correct Bedtime Stories sparks debate
Bruce Godfrey argues against a children’s book titled Politically Correct Bedtime Stories that reworks fairy tales to avoid offense. He claims the edits neuter classic tales and advocate banning the book, urging readers to keep Mother Goose intact and teach resilience rather than censorship.
