Last night, one of our West Virginia State Troopers shot himself.  He was stationed here in Putnam County. I don’t know how to get across to you how that makes me feel.  I knew him a little, but he wasn’t a close friend. But he was a Trooper.  He was someone who would lay down his life for any o...

Yesterday I got a phone call from Scott Edwards, the new mayor of Hurricane.  Apparently I'm not the only person who uses Google Alerts, and Scott’s name popped up on The Putnam Scoop, my new local blog.  I’d written a little reminder about that whole dog limit law issue.  (I’m not a fan.)  Scot...

Many communities are plagued with drug problems, and mine is not immune either.  When I volunteered at the animal shelter, I discovered that even our pets suffer when these crimes are committed.Animal shelters are required to keep a certain number of cages empty, in order to have room to take in ...
