McDowell sheriff threatens court action over overtime dispute
McDowell County Sheriff Michael Brooks warns the county commission he will seek a writ of mandamus to force overtime pay and a filled deputy position. He says funds are depleting as calls rise and questions why overtime has not been budgeted. County officials say overtime claims lack submitted time sheets and note ongoing funding for vehicles, fuel, and insurance.

Manchin vows to help preserve Northfork history
McDowell County School Superintendent Mark Manchin joined local leaders touring the closed Northfork Middle School seeking to preserve its legacy. They discussed creating a museum and relocating students to Mount View High School while the state plans renovations up to 750000 to support a new middle high school complex. Memories of the 1907 origins and eight national state basketball championships were highlighted as central to the community’s identity. The state would assist if a non profit group pursues a museum proposal.
