CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Although the law goes into effect Friday, the Division of Motor Vehicles is instructing law enforcement agencies to postpone enforcement of the state ban on texting while driving until July 1, when it becomes a primary offense under the new legislation, a DMV spokeswoman said Tuesday.
"If people want to stop texting and driving Friday, we certainly encourage that," said Natalie Harvey with the DMV.
While the law goes on the books Friday, texting while driving becomes a primary offense - meaning an officer can pull over a driver for the violation - on July 1. Also under the new law, using a hand-held cellphone becomes a secondary traffic offense on that date.

"You can use our red sauce in spaghetti, pizza, hoagies, quesadillas, lasagna, anything that takes tomato sauce," cook Alice Gue said. "It freezes well, so you can make a big batch, then you're set for a while."More mediaAdvertiser
ONA, W.Va. -- Eighty cooks from 15 counties packed the Cabell Midland High School kitchen for healthy-cooking boot camp Tuesday and Wednesday.
"Superintendent [Jorea] Marple is absolutely serious about making West Virginia's school meals healthier," said Kristy Blower, a coordinator with the state Office of Child Nutrition. "We're training 80 more cooks in July, then we'll put on more workshops in the fall."
In many speeches this year, Marple has made it clear that, as she told the Gazette, "The schools have a role in fighting our state's obesity crisis, and research clearly tells us that well-nourished children do better in school."
Cabell County's veteran school cooks showed them how to make more nutritious tomato sauce by mixing five vegetables into it: onions, carrots, tomatoes and two kinds of squash.

Point Pleasant (WV) Register - Former school board member receives jail time
Point Pleasant (WV) Register - Former school board member receives jail time: POINT PLEASANT — A former Mason County School Board Member received jail time on Friday after pleading guilty to one felony count of bribery.
Teresa Warner of Point Pleasant appeared before Circuit Court Judge Thomas C. Evans, III, who approved Warner’s plea agreement which dismissed five remaining counts of bribery. The bribery charge Warner pleaded guilty to was in relation to selling a GED test in exchange for money.
Prior to Evans’ sentencing, Warner’s Attorney Mike Shaw made a statement on her behalf, asking the court to take into consideration that though Warner has conceded she made a mistake, she also had a “wonderful career in teaching” and was active in the community. Shaw, as well as Evans, also discussed the court receiving several letters of support on Warner’s behalf from people in the community, including President of the Mason County Board of Education Dale Shobe. Shaw also wanted Evans to be aware of a letter of support which was also submitted on Warner’s behalf from Mason County School’s Superintendent Suzanne Dickens. The letters reflect that for many in the community, Warner remains a popular figure.
