*USS/CSS Water Witch discovered!*

Last week, specialists from Georgia DNR, Georgia DOT, and the National Civil
War Naval Museum joined together with Tidewater Atlantic Research
archaeologists to locate the remains of USS/CSS Water Witch, a Civil War
gunboat used by both the US and Confederate navies.

Kudos to HPD's Deputy State Archaeologist-Underwater, Chris McCabe; State
Archaeologist, Dave Crass; and the other expert professionals involved!

significant public properties in the communities it serves. In 2008, the
LCEF Preservation Fund will focus on the rehabilitation and restoration of
Rosenwald Schools. Grants are intended to further preservation efforts of
Rosenwald Schools by providing funding for construction expenses. Grants
will range up to $50,000. Approximately 10 to 20 grants will be funded
across a 14-state region.

To be eligible, the project must involve the rehabilitation or restoration
of a Rosenwald School building. Eligible applicants are limited to 501(c)(3)
nonprofit organizations, school boards/districts and government agencies.

grant requirements are current. Eligible properties must be open to the
public. Rosenwald restoration project administrators must contact their
National Trust Regional Office prior to making application. For complete
