FAIRMONT — The debate surrounding masks in schools continues, and now the school board is looking to impose a mandate if COVID-19 cases get out of hand.

FAIRMONT â After a heated debate, the Marion County Commission voted 2-1 recently to renew a partnership with Marion County Regional Development Corp.
Commissioner Ernie VanGilder, the lone no vote, cited the lack of due diligence with regard to MRDCâs financial standing, as well as its general operating procedures.
âAnytime I would enter in to a deal or anything,â VanGilder said, âI would first ask the status of your corporationâ[ask for] a financial statement. Do you have money in the bank? If you do, how much?
And what do you spend it on?â
According to VanGilder, these and other questions have yet to be answered. During a meeting last month, county officials discussed ideas for expanding economic development in Marion County, one of which was to renew the MRDC partnership.

A day after the West Virginia Black Bears (18-9-5) series finale against the Frederick Keys was rained out, it looked like the Black Bears might be in for more inclement weather. Clouds loomed overhead and rain began to fall shortly before their Friday contest against the State College Spikes (14-18-0) was set to kick off at Monongalia County Ballpark.
Thankfully, the poor conditions blew over right before the first pitch, and West Virginia pounced on the Spikes to the tune of a five-run first inning. The Black Bears wouldn t put up any runs after the fact, but their opening salvo was enough to secure a 5-to-2 win.
