Waterways have national interest The Daily News, Jacksonville NC

The Daily News, Jacksonville NC: "PINE KNOLL SHORES - People concerned about funding for beach nourishment and waterway dredging can try to make their voices heard in Washington.

But they need to be speaking clearly, in unison with those from other places, and say that maintaining Corps of Engineers civil works projects is of economic interest to the nation, not just coastal North Carolina, said Worth Hager, president of the National Waterways Conference.

'As far as I'm concerned, the last thing we need in this nation is dog-eat-dog,' Hager said."
