Summers County Students Off as Power Fails Early
A weekday power outage in Summers County cut electricity to about 6,200 customers, mainly in Hinton, forcing the school system to cancel classes on the second day of the term. West Virginia Power said an AEP transmission fault at the Hinton substation caused the blackout, which was restored by 9 a.m. Officials noted service stability remained uncertain for the rest of the day. The outage affected all Summers County schools and tied to American Electric Power transmission issues.

Troopers teach teachers to spot and cope with school violence
West Virginia teachers will take a two hour State Police course this fall on detecting and dealing with firearms in schools. Col. Gary Edgell and Supt. Hank Marockie unveiled the program at a Kanawha County elementary school. The effort trains troopers in 55 counties to advise teachers and administrators on danger signs, managing fights, securing schools, and emergency procedures. If a weapon enters a scene, police will take lead, with guidance to avoid entering fights. The program aims at public schools and could extend to private schools.
