Controversial pastor Pete
Peters dead

Pastor Peter Peters died July 7 at age 64. He died of natural causes at his home.
Peters was the pastor at the Street Church of Christ in LaPorte and founder of Scriptures for America Worldwide website and radio service. He also wrote the “Dragon Slayer” newsletter.

Throughout his 30 or so years of service to the church, Peters was controversial. The Anti-Defamation League deemed him an “anti-Jewish, anti-minority and anti-gay propagandist.” In 1996, Peters was quoted as saying, “Identity is the only Christian faith left in this country that opposes and exposes the myth of Judaism.”

At the time of his death Peters had about 100 followers.

No one from the church could be reached, but a message on his website said, “We will share with you, in the near future, the direction that he left us with, which was an inspiring vision to his family and staff.”

Pipeline
review
terminated

After many delays, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers terminated its review of Aaron Million’s Regional Watershed Supply Project on July 14.

Million proposed a 550-mile pipeline to draw Green River water from the Flaming Gorge Reservoir in Wyoming and transport it to the Front Range of Colorado.

The proposal was under review by the Corps because it would affect streams and wetlands, said Rena Brand, a regulatory official with the Corps’ Clean Water Act Regulatory Branch. The Army Corps estimated the cost of the review to be $3 million, all of which had to be paid by the applicant.

However, in April, Million added the possibility of hydropower generation to his proposal, which moved regulatory responsibility away from the Corps.

Brand said Million had 60 days to research a move to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. After not hearing from him by deadline, the Army Corps decided to terminate its review.
