- ➤ Grace Shelter at Hazel’s House of Hope, run by Catholic Charities West Virginia, has been full since October after its capacity was cut from 28 to 19 beds (forcing about 20 people to be turned away each month as clients come from near and far). Local officials are considering adding 15 permanent beds by moving into the former Hope Hill Sobering Center (which would cost an extra $150,000) to better serve those in need. MetroNews
ENVIRONMENT NEWS
- ➤ State Agriculture Commissioner Kent Leonhardt said heavy rains have improved river levels but have not restored all soil moisture and aquifers, and a late frost may reduce fruit and vegetable crops. He added the drought will lower the honey harvest and also impact local beekeepers — while small dairy farms see growth by selling pasteurized milk directly to consumers. MetroNews
