No recovery for many farmers six months after W Va floods
In Pendleton County after the November floods the North Fork River carved fields, destroyed barns and machinery, and left farmers like Kisamore and Kisamore’s wife Eunice facing possible departure from farming. State officials estimate over 2,000 acres of cropland useless and productivity halved on 40 percent of land. Channel work offered some hope, but many farmers face a bleak future and years to recover.

Festivals in Frederick showcase arts and family fun
The Frederick arts festival drew about 30 students across fifth and sixth grades building a castle with a working drawbridge while younger students puppeteered. Kids enjoyed crafts like fish kites and animal magnet puppets as music filled the streets. Regina Flanagan praised the event as a boost to local arts and plans for a regional festival week. Don Briggs noted the effort as key for the Life Underwriters Association. Bill Dayton’s Orchestra concluded a sunburned, tired crowd’s day with big band tunes.

Tax reform differences could reshape middle income taxes
The House and Senate tax plans differ sharply on rates and exemptions, with effects varying by family. A two earner couple with two children at $44 000 could pay 4170 under the House plan versus 3963 under the Senate, while a $31 000 two person no child couple would drop from 3482 to 3131 or 3042 respectively. The House lowers top rates to 38 percent but most pay 15 or 25 percent. the Senate caps near 15 percent while higher earners may pay around 2 percent due to other limits. Exemptions, retirement accounts, interest deductions, sales taxes, and capital gains tax rates all diverge, shaping who gains and who pays under each bill.
