Traffic Safety Spotlight: West Virginia’s Governor’s Highway Safety Program honored 100+ agencies and officers for 2025 enforcement and public outreach, targeting DUI, speeding, distracted driving, seat belts, and eCitation—reminding drivers that “crashes” are choices, not accidents, with 1,873 DUI arrests reported statewide in 2025. Mine Rescue Win: Laurentian University (Sudbury) captured a major mine rescue challenge, beating teams including WVU, with strong showings in first aid and underground skills. Insurance & Weather Pressure: A national look at climate-driven home insurance stress points to rising disaster damage and volatility—Delaware is among the states seeing pressure. Road Funding Strain: Potholes are tied to deferred maintenance and budget limits, as gas tax revenue lags inflation and vehicle changes. Fiber Buildout: GoNetspeed broke ground in South River, NJ, aiming for 100% fiber for 10,500+ homes and businesses by fall 2026. Data Centers Watch: A new on-the-ground look in “Data Center Alley” highlights noise, diesel impacts, and rising power-bill concerns. Nursing Home Updates: CMS ratings surfaced for multiple WV facilities, including Belmont Healthcare Center (3/5) and others in Mineral and Logan counties.
