This past Sunday evening February the 10th as people from Prenter Hollow came home from Sunday school they noticed the overwhelming smell of diesel fuel coming from creek. The Dept. of Environmental Protection(DEP) Emergency Spill Hotline was called and the incident was reported, that was around 8:00pm.One woman actually waded through the water to collect samples of cloudy water. This stench was a "knock you down smell" as one resident said.

Temperature rising at the Friends Of Coal Bowl On Saturday morning a group of students and youth demonstrated against the Friends of Coal sponsored Marshall and WVU back yard brawl, meeting and educating folks on the real picture about dirty industry working its way into the universities and major media outlets on a closed bid to the naming of the game series. Ivan met up with Gov. Manchin and told him the views of the students and the discontent of the game's coal labeling.Bill Raney(pres. of the WV coal association) rode in a slow moving Marshall caped golf cart right past us and we just approached him with our message, "Coal Keeps WV Poor" and "Stop MTR", he had no response but a glare and a smirk.
