Publisher Darryl Hudson and editors Andy Patton Brian Woodson Samantha Perry lead the paper with News Editor and Sports Editor roles. Senior Editor Charles Owens serves as City Editor. The page includes a quote about being ever learning and never attaining truth.
Residents of southern West Virginia must stop discarding televisions computers and other video display devices in landfills as of January 1 under a state law. Exemptions apply to items within vehicles or built into appliances. Officials urge timely disposal at proper facilities as curbside pickup will not accept banned items.
A reader in the two Virginias and surrounding states urges former vice president Al Gore to take a playful, unnamed post as “chief shoveler” due to heavy snowfall. The letter mocks climate talks and demands Gore supply a gold tipped shovel while working day and night in single digit temperatures, joking about footprints and global warming rhetoric.

Local residents in Tazewell and Mercer counties voiced anger over a proposed windmill project on East River Mountain. The Bluefield Board of Directors and Mercer County Commission have taken no clear stance, while Sen. Manchin missed two key votes amid a string of 50 votes since last November. He did back the arms control treaty with Russia and a food safety bill. Senators Rockefeller Warner and Webb aligned with him on those votes, as the impeachment case against Judge Porteous loomed in Washington.
The column wanders from politics to a Senate impeachment move against G Thomas Porteous Jr and a split vote by Manchin and Rockefeller on disqualifying him from office. It recalls Mercer County coal support, then pivots to Alaska snow tales and a Bluefield reader’s reminiscences, ending with Wilson Butt’s retirement.
