West Virginia organizations receive generous donation to support community programs

OHIO VALLEY (WTRF) — It was a generous donation that will benefit two local organizations in a big way.

On Friday, the Ohio Valley Jaycees Charitable Fund presented two checks totaling $10,000.

That money was split between the Appalachian Christmas Project and Ohio Valley Young Life.

The Young Life Organization serves teen parents and underprivileged and disabled children throughout the area.

The Appalachian Christmas Project offers hope and encouragement to area seniors, veterans, and the homeless. They distribute personal hygiene items to individuals, service agencies, and drug rehab centers.

We are so thankful for all of the generosity of the Jaycee’s fund. Young Life has been serving the Ohio Valley for over 50 years. We are using this for general programing, mentoring for teen parents and their children and disabled middle and high school students.”
Sean McCartney, Area Director, Young Life

We serve other areas as well. Anywhere from locally into Kentucky. But this is designated money for Ohio and Marshall County and I’m just thankful we have it because we serve so many in these two counties as well.”
Diane Reineke Stout, CEO Appalachian Christmas Project

Last year the Appalachian Christmas Project serves over 1,000 people in Ohio County and over 800 in Marshall County.

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — A 14-year-old boy from West Virginia was bitten by a shark as he was swimming at a beach in North Carolina.

Blayne Brown of Cabell County, West Virginia, was bit on the leg and ankle by a shark at Topsail Beach Access No. 4 in Pender County, North Carolina, on Sunday, The Herald-Dispatch reported. The boy was reportedly swimming in waist-deep water at around noon with a friend when he was bitten. Brown was about 30 or 40 feet away from the shore, the newspaper reported.

The newspaper reported that beachgoers helped provide medical attention to the teen before first responders arrived and took him to Naval Medical Center Camp Lejeune.

“I didn’t know what it was,” he told The Herald-Dispatch. “I just felt something that hurt a lot.”

He underwent surgery and a specialist was brought in because the injury was more extensive than doctors originally thought, the newspaper reported.

Brown returned home to West Virginia on Tuesday, though his mother said he may need another surgery.

The Associated Press reported that there were 69 unprovoked shark bites worldwide last year, and 10 of those were fatal, according to the International Shark Attack File. That was higher than the recent average of six deaths per year.
