The case is scheduled for trial in the Abingdon Circuit Court at the end of this month, but the town is beginning to realize that whatever the decision, later appeals may cost them an unimaginable $100,000. That is one reason why they have swallowed their distrust of outsiders and outside help enough to encourage the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund to appeal the project before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission...

It's fine that we're not at The Palace, but a few more palatial songs would have improved the quality of the performance...
