...that tidy conveyor has been idle since January in favor of a more invasive coal-delivery system: a fleet of bottom-dumping trucks making more than 200 trips a day, at 80,000 lbs. per trip, to the Mount Storm plant from the nonunion Mettiki mine, 17 miles away and across the state line in Maryland. Some of the old miners claim that the switch is an old-fashioned union-busting effort, but it's both more and less than that...
...private haul road, and he protested when it increased weight limits on public highways for the mine's trucks. Along with several state legislators and environmental groups, Leone and his fellow miners opposed West Virginia's preliminary decision last March to double the visible-emissions limits for the Mount Storm plant, considered to be one of the 12 dirtiest in the Southeast. Those actions may keep lawyers for Mettiki and Virginia Power busy, but they are not likely to revive the Potomac mines...
...Lohr's eloquence on the subject that broke Trampe's reserve. It was the way Lohr got to the water-board meetings.

...least some of the distance is racial. Bruce Sikes, pastor of the Messiah Youth Ministry, says that at one church, a deacon came right out and objected that Sikes' street-oriented mission was bringing blacks into the church. And at Mount Olive, a white parishioner would not let a group from the black congregation in to practice a Kwanza ceremony. But Mount Olive has since started a race-relations workshop involving both the white Lutheran and black Baptist congregations--a sign, most St. Louisans involved in church planting contend, that this kind of roof sharing can be a force...
