LTE: Valley Health Winchester Medical Center — A Family Deserves Answers, Not Silence

Winchester, Virginia — Valley Health Winchester Medical Center has, in my opinion, fallen far short of the standard of care, compassion, and accountability that our community deserves. How can a hospital proudly hold itself out as being ranked number one when families are left feeling ignored, dismissed, and abandoned...

This West Virginia Town Looks Like It Was Frozen In Time Decades Ago

George Washington’s youngest brother laid out these streets, then named several of them after his own family. That’s a pretty bold move, and the names are still on the signs today. One courthouse on the main corner hosted a trial that shook the whole country in 1859. Brick...

Rare Civil War photo could show Stonewall Jackson in camp

The Falling Waters Battlefield Association will explore whether a relatively unknown Civil War photograph shows Confederate Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson during a free presentation Nov. 12 in Spring Mills. The program, "Is It Stonewall?" begins at 6:30 p.m. at the North Berkeley Public Library, 1255 TJ Jackson Drive, according to a community announcement. A detailed slide presentation will examine the photograph, which may show Jackson in camp. Only two wartime photographs of Jackson are known, and both are studio portraits. The presentation will review the history of the photograph and the evidence for and against identifying the figure as Jackson. According to the announcement, confirming a third wartime photograph, particularly a full-length outdoor image, would be a remarkable discovery. The program is free and open to the public. For information or directions, call 304-263-7242. This story was produced with the assistance of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Journalists were involved in every step of the review, editing and publishing process. Learn more at cm.usatoday.com/ethical-conduct .

Update on close Washington County commissioners, school board races

Democratic challenger Lara Shepherd has taken a 230-vote lead over Republican incumbent John Barr for the fifth Washington County Commissioners seat with the last ballots still to be counted on Friday, Nov. 13. Incumbent Washington County Board of Education member Mike Guessford was still leading challenger Robin Merchant-Spickler for the third school board spot after more provisional and mail-in ballots were counted Thursday, Nov. 12, according to the Maryland State Board of Elections website. The results are incomplete and unofficial, with the election results expected to be certified on Friday, Nov. 13, after the last mail-in ballots are counted. Mail-in ballots can still be counted if they are postmarked by Election Day, Nov. 3, and received by the election board by 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13. If Shepherd is elected, she would be the first Democrat on the five-seat Board of County Commissioners since current Hagerstown Councilman Kristin Aleshire was a county commissioner and lost his re-election bid to that board in 2010. She would become the first woman to serve on the county commissioners since 2014 when Republican Ruth Anne Callaham lost her re-election bid in that year's primary. Barr has served four terms on the county board —
