Principal Ron Cantley announced Beckley Stratton Junior High will resume classes Monday after a three day closure caused by a foul sewer odor. Engineers proposed fixes including rerouting the sewer line to a lower pitch and capping roof vents near air intakes.
Crews renovating at 114 Mankin Ave Beckley alerted firefighters after discovering about 100 copper jacketed blasting caps in a basement. The state bomb squad arrived, removed the caps, and detonated them at the police range. Fire officials warn older caps may still exist in the area.
Three firefighters will add seven names to a statue at a Charleston memorial, including Steve Horwath of Beckley from Raleigh County. Horwath, the only Beckley firefighter killed in the line of duty, died in the early 1960s at Pinecrest Hospital before breathing apparatuses existed. He collapsed from smoke and a heart attack in a hallway. His widow, still living in Beckley, will attend with their children.
