Wert fugitive as Capito wagers Mountaineers game
Local contractor Wert remains a fugitive after being convicted of 18 acts of child related abuse and leaving the area before an August sentencing. Officials say tips surface occasionally but no solid lead exists. U.S. Rep. Capito and Sen. Allen traded a Virginia peanuts wager tied to a Mountaineers win over Virginia Tech, with Capito teasing the spoiler role. A Mercer County DOH job posting and a Princeton library haunted house fundraiser are also noted, along with Mercer History Books availability.

Heatwole box cutter stunt tests TSA and travel safety
Nathaniel Heatwole says he smuggled box cutters aboard two Southwest planes as civil disobedience to push public safety. The episode prompted TSA to order broad searches, drawing criticism for diverting resources while the system relies on multiple security layers. Heatwole faces up to 10 years in jail, and his actions may lead to extra passenger hassles and tighter watch lists.

Barry Bonds is not a team, and media hype often elevates a single star over teammates. The writer argues that commentators unfairly focus on Bonds, overlooking eight other Giants who contribute equally on good and bad days, and that a sports team cannot rely on one athlete alone.

Rahall pushes to improve troops quality of life and veterans care while lawmakers debate budget impacts on Iraqi reconstruction.
