CAIRO The Cairo veterans memorial was damaged Sunday following heavy rainfall this weekend.
At 1:45 p.m. Sunday, the Cairo Volunteer Fire Department responded to a call involving a possible structure collapse, according to Cairo Fire Chief Zach Foster.
“When we got there we found the back retaining wall of the memorial had collapsed into the lot behind it. The block holding the wall up was completely gone and part of the memorial had started to fall in as well,” he said.
The damage was not severe – Foster said he believes it is fixable but thinks it might have to be moved from its location on Railroad Street downtown.

CHARLESTON The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection has canceled three events for spring and summer because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Canceled for the second consecutive year was the Make It Shine Earth Day Celebration, West Virginia Youth Environmental Day and Junior Conservation Camp. The events also were canceled in 2020 because of COVID restrictions.
“It is with heartfelt sadness that we are announcing the cancellation of these events,” said Annette Hoskins, director of the Youth Environmental Program (YEP). “We understand how important they are to the young people of our state and we recognize their tremendous value from an environmental education standpoint. But, after much discussion regarding logistical issues and taking into account the significant amount of uncertainty still surrounding COVID-19, we did not feel we could move forward with the events and guarantee the safety of all those involved.”
