Opposition has surfaced to a proposed whitewater course on the Potomac River at Cumberland.

Local historian Gary Clites of nearby Carpendale, West Virginia told the Cumberland Times-News that the proposed removal of a dam would ruin a two-mile stretch of placid water behind the structure that is better suited for motorboats.

The whitewater plan was pitched by a Frostburg State University professor of recreation and parks management.

The proposal will be discussed by public officials and business leaders at a July 22 meeting organized by the Allegany County Chamber of Commerce.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
