Elsewhere Company closes gas stations amid slumping demand
Natural Gas Transportation Corp. shuts a compressed natural gas refueling station in Charleston and plans future closures in Martinsburg Weston and Wheeling. One Charleston station remains, along with Beckley Buckhannon and Glenville locations. President Ralph Ranson notes eventual closures. In May the firm estimated 15,000 to 20,000 CNG vehicles needed in West Virginia to sustain the business. Ranson says attempts to sell the fuel unit failed.

Museum Cuts Save Costs Amid Schedule Reductions
The museum will run five days a week after Labor Day, with a four day schedule in the off-season from Thanksgiving to April, and will drop workshops and the outreach Traveling Teachers Program. Maintenance on historic structures and the crop gardens will be postponed or eliminated to save about $25,000, while a $20,000 foundation grant drive and a $15,000 fundraising appeal are planned to cover losses. Weeks said cuts may last until next spring or July, depending on state legislature.
