The driver of the Subaru, Geri Patrick, 58, of Waynes- ville, was taken to Haywood Regional Hospital with non- life-threatening injuries. Neither vehicle had passen- gers. On Thursday, July 1, Pat- rick was charged with mis- demeanor death by a motor vehicle, and careless and reckless driving, according to the N.C. Highway Patrol. She will go to court August Bl, Merrell said neither alco- hol nor speed was a factor in the crash, adding Patrick said she swerved to avoid a car that had pulled out in front of her vehicle.

According to Commis- sioner Cowan, Duke wasnt offering the county enough money for use of its wa- terways for power genera- tion and hoped that offi- cials would leave the door open to an appeal. As of June 1, the coun- ty had spent a total of $550,269.97 in legal fees in its fight against Duke Ener- Black LLP, and $3,854.24 to Van Winkle, Buck, Wall and Starnes. After both a federal District Court judge and a Washington, D.C., Circuit Court of Appeals panel indi- cated that the Federal Power Act, which gives complete authority over hydroelectric projects to the FERC, takes precedence, county officials in late January agreed to end the legal wrangling. Duke destroyed the Dillsboro powerhouse in Photo From Archive Federal law requires opera- tors of private hydropower dams to address impacts to fish and wildlife, and it was determined that dam remov- al would assist the recovery of a pair of endangered spe- cies the Appalachian elk- toe mussel and the sicklefin redhorse fish.
