Just when you think things are over …
As I’m sure you have read on our front page today, Curtis Perry has fired off a letter to Mineral County Prosecuting Attorney in response to the statement this week by Keyser’s attorney that the city council acted properly in rescinding his appointment.
The attorney, Scott McClure, said the oath of office was not administered within the allowed time frame (20 days as stipulated by state code but 10 days as set forth in the city’s charter), and Mr. Perry therefore was never officially a member of the council.

KEYSER - As they begin to prepare for the arrival of the COVID-19 vaccine in Mineral County, the health department is now offering a different type of community testing for the virus.
For several weeks since the virus began to hit Mineral County especially hard, health department staff, along with Mineral County Schools, the Mineral County Technical Center Nursing Program, the National Guard and other volunteers worked together to offer free community drive-through testing weekly at the Tech Center and Mineral County Fairgrounds.
The task was a gargantuan one, and as the focus of the health department now needs to turn toward the upcoming distribution of the vaccine, administrator A.Jay Root said an alternate plan went into place this week.
