On this West Virginia Week, West Virginians went to the polls for primaries to decide some national and local issues. We’ll talk about the results of some of Tuesday’s elections and hear from some voters.
We’ll dive into the soon-to-be legal raw milk trade. West Virginians will be able to purchase raw milk, as long as it is properly labeled. But that might come with a risk. We’ll also learn about a demonstration at West Virginia University (WVU) calling for the university to disclose investments in and ultimately divest from Israel over the war in Gaza, as well as child nutrition.
Finally, we hear about Gov. Jim Justice’s call for a much-anticipated special session of the state legislature this coming Sunday.
Chris Schulz is our host this week. Our theme music is by Matt Jackfert.

DANSVILLE, Mich. (WILX) – Dansville pitcher Wyatt Mosley has been striking out batters at an insane rate. The junior finished with 15 strikeouts against St. Pat’s on Thursday evening.
Mosley was able to grab the attention of scouts a year ago at prep baseball camps. August 1st is the date when colleges can first reach out to players going into their junior seasons, and Wyatt was hoping for some calls. His father was the one who told him to stay up late that night and at 12:30 a.m. West Virginia was the first collegiate team to call Wyatt. From the moment he answered the phone, Wyatt knew there was no other choice than the Mountaineers.
Mosley is finishing up his junior season with the Aggies and will look to make a run with Dansville in Districts coming up.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Six elementary schools and three middle schools around the state are facing off to see who’s the fittest.
The West Virginia Department of Education held its Fit + Active Schools Face-off Friday at the State Culture Center for its third year.
WVDE Physical Education Coordinator Josh Grant said the groups of elementary and middle schools compete in an eight exercise and four round workout routine for the event.
“It puts them against other schools to see what schools are the fittest and they’re judged on their form, their rhythm, their intensity, their stamina and their transitions,” Grant said.
Trinity Hill and Kendall Long were two students competing with their team from Peterstown Middle School in Monroe County.
“It’s a pretty cool experience to be here,” said Hill.
“Yeah, we worked hard to get here,” Long added.
They explained what all they were doing as part of the face-off.
“We do pushups, butt kicks, planks, jumping jacks, plank rolls, butterfly crunches,” they said.
Grant said the competing schools were selected to participate in the event by submitting a virtual entry of them doing the exercises and they trained throughout the semester to get there.
Along with Peterstown Middle, the other schools taking part in the face-off included: Frametown Elementary School in Braxton County, Overbrook Elementary and Richmond Elementary in Kanawha County, Roosevelt Elementary in Mason, Teays Valley and West Teays elementary schools in Putnam, Roosevelt Middle School in Mason County, and Teays Valley Christian Middle School in Putnam County.
In addition, students got to watch a performance by the Village of Barboursville Magic Jump Rope Team.
Grant said the focus of the event is on promoting children’s wellness, health, and team-building initiatives.
“A neat thing about this event is that it shows students that once they compete here they can be active for life,” Grant said. “I think we need to showcase wellness in our state and just encourage students to be healthy and active, and this is just a great way to show what it takes to work as a team, and they have what it takes inside of them to be fit and healthy for life.”
Judges from SHAPEWV, CrossFit Coal, the West Virginia Grind Basketball Team and West Virginia University were scoring the team’s on their performances during the face-off.
Grant said both groups of elementary and middle schools would be receiving first, second, and third places within their categories.
He explained what was in it for the winning schools.
“It’s going to come with monetary prizes, all of the students get a t-shirt, gold, silver, bronze medals, a banner to hold in their gym and a trophy,” said Grant.
First place winners Friday were Frametown Elementary from Braxton County and Teays Valley Christian Middle School from Putnam County.
