A Milton man now stands charged with attempted murder, and wanton endangerment following the incident which reportedly injured the deputy. In addition, Robert M. Glenn, 81, Milton, has been charged with malicious wounding in a reported separate incident involving the alleged shooting of a family member who was also identified as his “caretaker” in the criminal complaint filed in Mason County Magistrate Court. The family member’s injuries were reported as not life threatening, according to multiple media outlets. Mason County Sheriff Greg Powers said deputies went to a home on Whitten Ridge Road early Sunday morning to investigate the alleged shooting of Glenn’s family member, which reportedly occurred the previous day. Three deputies arrived at Glenn’s residence on Whitten Ridge Road and “ultimately encountered the defendant (Glenn) in the doorway of the residence,” according to the criminal complaint filed by Sgt. Joe Finnicum with the Mason County Detachment of the West Virginia State Police. Glenn is alleged to have brandished a revolver and fired at the deputies who returned fire, with one of those deputies injured during the exchange, Finnicum told the Point Pleasant Register. Sheriff Powers identified the injured deputy as Matt McCormick who was released from Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown Monday, with several of McCormick’s brothers in blue, as well as first responders, meeting him at the county line near Mt. Alto. McCormick and his family were escorted into Point Pleasant to the sheriff’s office where he visited with officers and other first responders, according to Powers.

Daily Sentinel Dem leaders push to end labor dispute and save debate By Bill Barrow and Kathleen Ronayne Associated Press Democratic officials are pushing for an end to a labor dispute that threatens the party’s sixth presidential primary debate, scheduled for Thursday on a California university campus. Xochitl Hinojosa, the Democratic National Committee’s communications director and a lead debate organizer for DNC Chairman Tom Perez, said Monday that Perez “spent the entire weekend” urging stakeholders to engage in good-faith, mediated negotiations. He’s seeking a resolution to the dispute between the food services company Sodexo and about 150 of its employees who work on the Loyola Marymount University campus that is scheduled to host the debate. ”As a former labor secretary who handled several labor disputes, he understands the importance of getting the parties back to the table, and expects that to happen promptly,” Hinojosa said. The seven candidates who have qualified for the debate have all said they would not attend a Loyola debate if the dispute persists, and at least nine candidates in the Democratic race have expressed solidarity with the UNITE HERE Local 11 amid collective bargaining that involves disagreements over wages and health care benefits. The DNC is not looking for an alternate debate site. Salisbury Township organizational meeting Salisbury Township trustees had their organizational meeting Dec. 11, 2019, for the new year 2020.

There is finally a call for service animal owners being required to show some documentation to legitimize their animals’ status. And this is a good thing. Using the strictest definition of the words, “service animals” have a legitimate place anywhere. According to the Americans with Disability Act Network, a service animal is any animal that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit Marla of an individual with a disability. The Boone work or task must be directly related Contributing to the individual’s disability. What columnist has become herd behavior of the very worse sort, though, is the proliferation of emotional support animals (ESA). The salient differences between a service dog and an emotional support animal are both enormous and pertinent. As outlined above, service animals are trained. They are trained specifically to meet the needs of a disabled person. They are housebroken. They obey. They are under control. They are not pets. An emotional support animal has no special training to assist people with disabilities. Their sole talent is their presence. Through the efforts of some well-intentioned people for the benefit of some well-deserving others, it has become possible and legal for a disabled person to bring their service animal with them at no cost on commercial flights. But because we have become a country of “let me see how much I can cash in on someone else’s misfortune,” a burgeoning army have decided they cannot function without a companion dog. Or horse. Or pig. Or hamster. Or peacock. Airlines are not—-small mercies—-required to recognize other species of ESA such as snakes, reptiles, ferrets, rodents, and spiders. (Really !?! We can only hope it’s not the one I squished in the kitchen this morning.) Unsavory folks who know a loophole when they see it have hitched their leashes (or however you harness a spider) to the ADA and have exploited it shamelessly. Any traveler can attest to the huge increase in the number of dogs being hauled through airports and onto commercial flights. In the past twenty years I have seen approximately zero service dogs on airplanes. During the past five years, in contrast, the ESA population has multiplied like a puppy mill. This means either we are in the midst of sudden-onset nation-wide emotional meltdowns or are seeing a fabulous scam being visited upon airline travel. Because the vast majority of people don’t know the difference between service dogs and emotional support animals, the unscrupulous are getting away with it. Most airlines limit the number of animals allowed on a flight. What is especially loathsome is the notion a wannabe ESA could prevent a true service animal from being permitted to board. There is a buck to be made, so it is astonishingly easy to declare any mutt on earth an ESA. Enter “emotional support animal” into a search engine and be entertained by riveting links such as “Take Your Dog Anywhere” and “We Offer the Only Legal ESA Letter.” For $79 anyone can acquire a lifetime ESA registration for their pet (which means absolutely nothing), a nifty-looking certificate (ditto), two ID cards, and an emotional support dog tag. Another $80 will buy that spiffy little vest. One site claims it runs on the “honor system” that people applying for these goodies really need them. Written verbiage less than one year old under the letterhead of a mental health professional is just about all that is needed. Do you have a computer? Do you have a printer? Even if you can’t find someone to churn one out for you, it’s a DIY project to get that “letter.” But to quote the ADA web site: “It does not matter if a person has a note from a doctor that states that the person has a disability and needs to have the animal for emotional support. A doctor’s letter does not turn an animal into a service animal.” Because the number of ESA has grown large, so have the untoward incidents. There has been a 500% increase in the number of complaints about emotional support animals, including the infamous episode of an emotional support pig defecating during an American flight. Alleged ESA have bitten other dogs, been unruly enough to require a muzzle, and have been spotted sporting diapers. Complaints about seeing eye dogs haven’t gone up at all. As is sadly too often the case, fixing the problem is going to entail burdening the legitimate because of the fraudulent. Anyone attempting to have their animal with them on a commercial flight should be required to provide factual documentation proving the animal is necessary. Even this doesn’t go far enough. The animal ought to be trained, under control, and fulfill all other criteria of a service animal. An emotional support animal shouldn’t create emotional distress in the rest of us.

Setting the injector nozzle on 2 seems to give just the right amount of coverage. It takes about fifteen minutes per tankful to empty the tank, at a brisk walk. A key strategy is to focus on the big, established “mother plants” first, because Japanese honeysuckle can’t reproduce until the plants mature and start to have berries. Birds, attracted by the shiny red berries, spread the invader far and wide. Berries drop under the mature plants and create a carpet of seedlings. Over the years, readers of this column have admonished us for promoting the use of glyphosate in landscaping, but no one has ever presented us with convincing proof. Experts disagree. For our part, there is a tradeoff between the possible harmful effects of glyphosate and the uncontrolled spread of invasive plants like Japanese honeysuckle, thistle, multiflora rose, poison ivy and autumn olive. An online search turned up no evidence that eating glyphosatetreated berries is harmful to birds, however our approach is to eliminate berry-bearing mature plants first to minimize the risk. Armed with our newfound “weapon of mass destruction”, we’ll take up the battle again next year. I urge you to join it, in your own yard. Mark your calendar for next November 1, and join us in turning the tide of the honeysuckle invasion. nuclear fission by splitting the nuclei of uranium into lighter elements.

Ford. (She was paroled in Aug. 2009.) In 1979, Arthur McDuffie, a black insurance executive, was fatally injured after leading police on a chase with his motorcycle in Miami. (Four white police officers accused of beating McDuffie were later acquitted, sparking riots.) In 1994, North Korea shot down a U.S. Army helicopter which had strayed north of the demilitarized zone.

I was 10 years old…I drive through here everyday, as many of you do, and there’s not a day that goes by that Beth Sergent | OVP The names of the 46 victims are depicted on angels at the foot of the memorial Christmas tree on the Mason County Courthouse lawn, which faces the site where the Silver Bridge used to be in downtown Point Pleasant. Beth Sergent | OVP A large crowd gathers at 6th and Main streets to honor the victims of the Silver Bridge Disaster. I don’t think about that (the tragedy). (President) Lyndon Johnson flew over the day after to view what had happened here in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, in this historic city, and things began to change. But sometimes it takes this type of thing to happen before change happens. But things started to change and for the better and hopefully lives have been saved. And with saying that, I ask you tonight as you go to bed, and you look up in the heavens and remember 46 lives, 46 stars that will shine tonight as we remember 52 years ago today what took place.” Billings then led a prayer, asking everyone to remember those lost on the bridge and to never forget. Jack Fowler, the director of the Point Pleasant River Museum and Learning Center then spoke. Fowler began his remarks by crediting Kenny Grady with starting and helping to continue the remembrance ceremony and then spoke about how the river museum has become a home for not only archi- val material dealing with the Silver Bridge Disaster but for those wishing to make a human connection with it. Though the museum suffered a devastating fire, Fowler assured those gathered that the archival material was safe and would be relocated to the museum’s new home, set for the 300-block of Main Street. It’s hoped construction will begin on the new facility in 2020. “We will resume the role that we’ve played in this history,” Fowler said. “We will continue to have that (material) on display. The story will be there for people to learn from it and never forget the people that were lost…those 46 wonderful people.” Then, what is typically considered the most solemn portion of the ceremony took place, with the reading of the names of the 46 victims. Sharing this duty were Mason County Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management Director Dennis Zimmerman, Point Pleasant Fire Chief Jeremy Bryant and Miss 4-H Karli Stewart. While the names were read, an instrumental piece on the banjo was performed by Benjamin Supple. Following the reading of names, the Point Pleasant High School Chamber Choir, under the direction of Ethan Bartlett, performed two songs. The memorial Christmas tree which was placed on the lawn of the Mason County Courthouse, was then lit by Supple and his siblings, Sarah Beth, Mary and Gabriel, who are the children of Cary and Joe Supple. Mayor Billings gave the closing remarks, recognizing the work of the committee which helps organize the ceremony, including Grady for his leadership, as well as Street Commissioner Randy Hall, City Clerk Amber Tatterson, with assistance from Randy Damron and Tracy Brown from the West Virginia Division of Highways and Carol Stevens with the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE).
