Talk of becoming more energy efficient has dominated the 2008 election campaigns and has been a prominent topic in the presidential and vice-presidential debates, so credit Rockingham County with having the foresight to identify a potential resource at the landfill and with setting a plan in motion.

          <description><![CDATA[
The economic impact of Saturday&#8217;s 3rd Annual Madison Heritage Festival won&#8217;t be clear until merchants tally their monthly totals and people previously unfamiliar with the western Rockingham town return after a favorable first impression.

Nevertheless, the event, helped by a gorgeous fall day, was phenomenally successful. By 11 a.m., Murphy Street was lined with vendors as people visited their booths, stopped into stores and generally soaked in the small-town festival atmosphere. And the crowds continued to fill the streets until well after dark.

Hurricane Ike not only unleashed its mite on the Texas coastline and its inland refineries, but the monstrous storm also sent drivers from Oregon to the Carolinas scrambling for gas.

I am writing this letter in response to Lisa Shumake-Wright on her feelings about what the media is doing to Sarah Palin. Well, they are doing the same thing to her as they are doing to Barack Obama. Did you expect them not to? That&#8217;s what most of the media folks do.
