Ashe County's boldest treasure is the New River and for the past half century, one of the river's best friends and strongest advocates has been Phil Hanes.
Hanes, 84, died on Sunday. His friends in his hometown of Winston-Salem may recall him more for his devotion to arts and culture, but here in the hills of North Carolina and southwest Virginia, his passion for the environment and the New will be his lasting legacy.
