The property contains 2,100 linear feet of the Henry Fork River, a waterway designated by the State as Outstanding Resource Waters because of the river's exceptional state or ecological significance. The conservancy will restrict the property with a conservation easement to protect water quality.

A Granite Falls woman will spend at least four years in prison after a Caldwell County jury found her guilty of robbery with a dangerous weapon and second-degree kidnapping during Caldwell County Superior Court last week.

The jury returned a gulity verdict for 50-year-old Judy Potter Norris on Wednesday and she was sentenced to an active prison term of four to six years.

Norris pulled into a Granite Falls convenience store on January 19th, 2017 and pointed a .22 caliber handgun at an employee, told him he was being robbed and forced him into a store bathroom, locking him in from the outside. Norris then walked to the cash register and took money from it along with rolled coins found under the counter.
