Gail Paige grows everything from cilantro to collard greens in her Wheeling Island garden. Some produce is eaten fresh. She also preserves some of it for winter meals as relishes, pickles and salsa.
WHEELING Gail Paige is itching to plant something, but knows better.
“I turned the dirt over a couple of weeks ago and then the weather got funky,” says Paige, looking out longingly at four raised beds at the back of her Wheeling Island property.
With temperatures swinging from just below freezing to the low 80s within a handful of days, Paige ultimately decided to keep a flat of basil, collard greens and such stuff tucked safely inside her sunlit kitchen.

American Legion Post 89 at 15th and Jacobs streets was recognized by the city of Wheeling this past week for the tremendous efforts put forth to improve its image and status in the community.
WHEELING The date of April 20 may mean different things to a lot of different people, but in the city of Wheeling this year, April 20 was celebrated as “American Legion Post 89 Day.”
Members of Wheeling City Council made that proclamation last week, marking the four-year anniversary since the Legion post on the corner of 15th and Jacob streets entered into what amounted to a consent decree with the city of Wheeling to basically turn things around or get shut down.
