The investigation into White House connections to the prosecution of former Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman and HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy continues by a number of news organizations, although we won't be publishing much about that here until those stories emerge.

Locust Fork News and Journal Editor and Publisher Glynn Wilson is working under a national investigative reporting grant for several national news outlets, all of which require exclusivity for specific stories under development. So it would not be proper for those stories to be foreshadowed or commented on in this space. Links will be provided when those stories are published.

Keep all those tips coming via e-mail. We appreciate all the supportive comments about the work we have accomplished on this site since it's creation as Mr. Scrushy's first trial was underway in 2005 in Birmingham. That was the case that resulted in acquittal.

We will continue to publish here on other subjects as stories arise, so check back often to see what else we've got in store.

For those of you who may be new to this Website, this in an experiment in online publishing produced by experienced journalists and photographers. We mostly focus on the big national stories of the day, although we sometimes explore stories of regional, statewide or even local interest - when they spark our interest - especially concerning politics, science and the natural environment.

In that vein, we are also into wildlife photography, especially birds. So if that floats your boat, check back during the bird migration season in spring and fall.

As always, if you have suggestions for improving the site we would love to hear them, although we can't promise we will be able to implement them all.

Happy surfing...
