...this impoverished rural community. With unemployment in St. Landry Parish at 15.3%, the job seekers among LeMoyen's few hundred residents have been lucky to find occasional farm work in the nearby soybean and rice fields. Now a huge $25 million plant is rising in an empty meadow across the road from Baker's. When it opens next April, the Martco plant will churn scraps from southern hardwoods into 130 million sq. ft. of building board per year, providing up to 150 jobs.

...meadow near Eureka, Calif., on the state's rocky northern coast, 50 Yurok Indians gathered for an unusual ritual. After three younger members of the tribe hollowed out a bit of earth, a Yurok leader reverentially placed seven bags in the hole. Ella Norris, 83, the tribe's oldest member, moved forward. Raising her eyes toward the sky, she said a prayer in English and in the language of her forebears: "We are sorrowful for the sacrilegious actions of the past. May these remains lie peacefully at rest forever...
