PARKERSBURG may join Charleston, Wheeling and other towns in the state that hold annual urban deer hunts. The town simply has too many deer and too many deer-car collisions, said Jeff McCrady of the Division of Natural Resources. The hunts are only a part of an urban deer management program. The first part is to quit treating deer as pets. They are wild animals. We dont want domesticated deer, McCrady told the Parkersburg News-Sentinel. A lot of the calls we get are coming from people who see fawns here in the city or in their backyards. People see these fawns and get concerned, thinking the fawn has lost its mother. Sometimes this leads to people feeding them, which is a bad idea. Deer kill about 100 drivers nationally each year. Feeding them is a danger to them and people. * n n CHARL...

TAPPING into the natural gas of the Marcellus shale beneath much of West Virginia will boost the economy in unanticipated ways. Among other things, it will breathe new life into the Palace of Gold in New Vrindaban in Marshall County. Jaya Krsna Das, community president for New Vrindaban, told the Wheeling News-Register that the Hare Krishna group has leased its natural gas rights to 4,000 acres for $10 million. This will help finance a 25-year plan for the Hare Krishna community. First up is a $4 million restoration of the com- munitys Palace of Gold near Moundsville.

NEARLY seven months after a crazed man shot her in the head and killed six others, Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., returned to the Capitol to cast a vote for the debt compromise. Her moment of triumph relieved the pervasive acrimony surrounding the bill. While both sides have had their popoffs, liberals have relentlessly attempted to marginalize the Tea Party as a fringe group. Terrorist, racist, uncivil, insane, the list goes on in this context, these words have no real meaning, wrote James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal. They are mere epithets. The Obama presidency has reduced the liberal left to an apoplectic rage. His Ivy League credentials, superior attitude, pseudointellectual mien and facile adherence to lefty ideology make him the perfect personification of the liberal e...
