First we're paging through the Courier Journal for stories of romance gone sideways, dramatic gestures, and a few fiery plot twists.Starting with a Louisville divorce case where Mrs. Bessie Offutt tried to end her 17 year marriage, claiming her much older husband preferred sitting by the fire all day while she earned the living. The judge ruled that the law does not dissolve every unhappy marriage. Still, when her husband died years later, her name was nowhere in his obituary. Draw your own conclusions.Then we head to Mercer County, where Cecil Connor left a suicide note and his coat on a bridge over Dix Dam Lake, prompting a full scale search. Days later, he reappeared alive, admitting he staged the whole thing to frighten his estranged wife into reconciling. Spoiler alert: it did not work.Next, a jailhouse romance that feels stranger than fiction. Kentucky native Ray H. Foor, convicted of killing a Kansas policeman in 1923, was released just three years later and married Avereil Gay, a woman who fell in love with him while he was behind bars. She once declared he did not love her yet, but he was the man she intended to marry. They later settled in Brandenburg and lived quietly.In Accidents & Close Calls, we revisit the dramatic burning of a twenty seven room mansion in Cherokee Park, once owned by Judge Robert Worth Bingham. Thousands of rounds of ammunition exploded in the blaze. The owner, Giles VanCleave, narrowly escaped. The house was never rebuilt. Years later, VanCleave was found dead by suicide in the garage on the same property.We also remember Letitia Vance DePauw, a decorated Red Cross worker who served near the Argonne Forest in World War I and later became a state parole officer in Kentucky.And finally, a palate cleanser: a wanted fraud suspect in St. Louis was tracked down partly because of his legendary appetite. Seven pork chops for breakfast tends to leave a paper trail.Love, pride, scandal, heroism, and a few questionable life choices.

More than 500 residents of Mercer County are about to find out if they have been chosen for a rare opportunity. They have applied for a Guaranteed Minimum Income program through the nonprofit Give Directly, which uses funds from wealthy benefactors to give cash benefits to those in need. The post New Program To Help Residents In Poverty, This West Virginia Morning appeared first on West Virginia Public Broadcasting.

We welcomed Nate Baker, CEO and Co-Founder of Qualia, a real estate closing platform, to the podcast. Co-hosts Mike O'Donnell and Bethany Abele explored with Nate how Qualia is transforming the real estate industry by converting manual workflows into intelligent, data-driven systems. Nate shared insights on how the platform makes property transfers both simpler and more secure, including a discussion of Qualia's latest product, Qualia Clear, which employs artificial intelligence  (“AI”) that Nate hopes and believes will revolutionize the real estate closing process. Next, Bethany interviewed Riker Danzig associate Keshav Agiwal about a case decided in August by the Chancery Division of the New Jersey Superior Court, Mercer County, Atlantic County Sheriffs & Joseph O'Donoghue v. State of New Jersey, Docket No. MER-C-94-25 (N.J. Super. Ct. Ch. Div. Aug. 28, 2025).  In this case, the court considered whether certain sections of New Jersey's Community Wealth Preservation Act, specifically N.J.S.A. 2A:50-64(d) and (g), violated the Takings Clause of both the New Jersey Constitution and United States Constitution.  Ultimately, the court refused to rule on the constitutionality of N.J.S.A. Section 2A:50-64(d) because none of the cases in the consolidated action implicated the right of first refusal.  However, the court found that N.J.S.A. Section 2A:50-64(g) does violate the Takings Clause of both the New Jersey and U.S. Constitutions by depriving property owners of surplus equity and preventing junior lienholders from recovering surplus funds. Key Takeaways from this episode: AI integration, enhanced digital payment solutions, and strong cybersecurity measures help companies protect their operations. The New Jersey Superior Court held that N.J.S.A. Section 2A:50-64(g), which allows nonprofit community development corporations a right of second refusal in foreclosure actions, was unconstitutional as applied to property owners and junior lienholders in the case at hand, finding that Section (g) violates the Takings Clause of both the U.S. and New Jersey Constitutions in light of the impact on a property owner's right to surplus equity and that it prevents junior lienholders from recovering surplus funds. Note:  Riker Danzig is not endorsing the services of Qualia. Riker Danzig's Title Insurance Group also produces a “Banking, Title Insurance and Real Estate Litigation Blog,” available here.

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia.   Today is Sunday, Jan. 5, 2025. State officials celebrate the opening of the West Virginia Turnpike's new Beckley Travel Plaza…the WVDNR launches a study of the state's elusive snowshoe hare…and WV's Mountaineer Heritage Season for deer, bear, and turkey will open on January 9…on today's daily304. #1 – From WVVA– Gov. Jim Justice joined other local and state leaders last week to celebrate the opening of the new West Virginia Turnpike's Beckley Travel Plaza. Located off of exit 45 on I-77, the plaza closed last February to start demolition and construction. The updated facility now includes a Wendy's, Starbucks, Popeyes and Mountain State Market that features local and regional gourmet foods, a grab-and-go food bar, and much more. The building also includes a Tamarack Artisan Shop that highlights work from West Virginia artists. Along with this project the revamp effort included Mercer County's Bluestone Travel Plaza that is still under construction.

Known for their white seasonal coat and oversized feet, this remarkable small game species plays an important role in our state's high-elevation ecosystems.  However, little is known about their population here. That's why West Virginia Division of Natural Resources biologists and researchers at West Virginia University have teamed up to shine a light on this secretive species. Population density studies are also essential because they show how animals use their habitat and how available resources meet their needs. This information helps wildlife managers create and improve young forest habitats, which benefit hares and other game species. Additionally, knowing where these animals live helps managers anticipate how they might react to future climate changes, ensuring better long-term conservation strategies. Stay updated on WVDNR's research efforts and consider supporting wildlife conservation initiatives through license purchases and donations.

This spontaneous and engaging conversation with speaker/author, Toni Campbell and host, Sue Duffield, is a delightful outcome when two Jersey girls get together to share their hearts, their passion for ministry and their love for reaching their communities for Jesus. Toni has over a decade of experience in commercial writing. She taught "Writing for Radio/TV" at a local community college for five years and is as comfortable in front of a microphone as she is behind a keyboard, which is where she has spent much of her time writing the book and blog, Lakeside Lessons. In 2012, she received Mercer County's Woman of Achievement Award (in NJ) for her outreach work. After reading The Externally Focused Church, Toni was so challenged by the concepts it presented that she began an outreach ministry at her church as a volunteer leader. That experience is the basis for her book, Jesus Has Left the Building: The Nitty-Gritty of Creative Church Outreach. It takes the time-consuming guesswork out of church outreach planning with step-by-step nitty-gritty details along with fine-tuning tips to ensure that you won't have to reinvent the wheel in outreach efforts.  www.sueduffield.com www.tonicampbell.org

We're all familiar with the term “open relationship.” Some more than others. While this kind of romance doesn't always work out, it's very rare that someone winds up dead as a result. Back in 2015, 22-year-old Ryan Zimmerman of Corbin, KY was struggling with his identity. He was looking to discover who he was as a person by connecting with like-minded people on the internet. That's when he met a man who excitedly welcomed him into polyamorous relationship. The only problem with the arrangement was that Ryan Zimmerman soon went missing…  Written by Michael Dunphy Jr., Executive Produced by Michael Ojibway.    Support Our Sponsors:  Honeylove: Get 20% OFF @honeylove by going to https://www.honeylove.com/choir! #honeylovepod  Rocket Money: Cancel unwanted subscriptions and manage your expenses the easy way by going to https://www.rocketmoney.com/invisible.  BetterHelp: This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
