Bluefield faces high school consolidation vote in July
Mercer County plans a July 11 vote on consolidating Bluefield Bluefield High with Beaver and Park Central. If approved, Bluefield would rise among the state's largest enrollments, estimated at 1,236 by county superintendent Pete Cooke. The board has already consolidated Bluestone and Bramwell, with Bramwell principal D. W. McCormick slated to lead the merged school. Public reaction is tense as the Park Central merger proposal rides on voter choice amid human rights concerns from the State Human Rights Commission and NAACP.

Spence Leads Kanawha Valley Golf with 74 at Berry Hills
Tessin teen John Spence used a three wood to shoot 74 and take the first round lead at Berry Hills in the Kanawha Valley Golf Association event. KVGA secretary Jim Chatfield trails by two, with Morris Harvey coach Jerry Moore and Tom Mollencop tied for third at 77. Nine players broke 80 as conditions favored easier greens after rain, and a lightning scare interrupted play on the third tee. Randy Payne led the first flight with 77, while Priscilla Payne’s son marked a 77 from the regular tees.
