Plan for new consolidated high school faces local opposition
Manchin proposes a $40 million flood proofed state of the art high school serving Big Creek and Taeger, while relocating K 5 to Gary and 6 8 to Mount View Middle. Opponents led by War Mayor Hatcher oppose based on lack of public process, urging hearings and alternative proposals including high schools at Jaeger and Big Creek. Bus ride distances under the plan could exceed 70 minutes in Ammonate and War areas, prompting criticism from Bartley residents and other supporters of local schools.

The SEC filed new insider trading charges against Lorene Turpin and Lora McKinney, former Keystone Bank employees, alleging use of nonpublic adverse financial information to sell stock and avoid about $231,000 in losses. Both pleaded guilty to obstruction during a bank examination weeks before Keystone’s 1999 collapse, receiving probation and modest fines. They testified in the obstruction trial against former Keystone officers.
