National letter drive fuels VA hospital protest in Terra Alta
In Terra Alta Preston County residents rally to reverse VA service cuts. Darious May of VFW Post No 578 says 300 letters collected at a kickoff dance, aiming for 600 to 700 by midnight from about half of the town’s 1,500 residents. The letters urge Washington to kill plans to reduce daily VA hospital patient loads. Across Washington authorities report a $23 million heroin seizure in Miami, 156 pounds hidden in a private jet, one of the era’s largest busts.

Rain Clouds Dim Memorial Day Weekend Festivities
The weather outlook calls for variable clouds and a chance of rain. Memorial Day weekend events may be dampened with a soggy high in the 60s as the forecasted rain reduces outdoor plans.

Ten additional conservation officers were assigned to Monongalia and Marion counties over Memorial Day by the Department of Natural Resources. District official Wayne Hough said the move addressed heavy recreational use and followed a policy shown to be effective in recent years. The forecast calls for partly cloudy skies with temperatures in the 60s to low 70s after a 40s night.
