Researchers at the West Virginia University Department of Psychology and the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute are looking for volunteers who smoke at least 8 ci******es a day. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation that has recently been approved by the FDA as a treatment for smoking cessation. This research aims to determine how to make it as effective as possible through psychological intervention at the time of stimulation. Please see the attached flyer for more information, and if you are interested in participating, fill out a survey to see if you are eligible! https://go.wvu.edu/4ga8j

Precautionary Boil Water Advisory has been Issued for the
Horner Area of Weston
Customers will be notified by the American Water emergency notification system PWSID: WV 3302104
Weston, WV (May 19, 2026) -West Virginia American Water has issued a precautionary boil water advisory for 6 customers in the Horner area of Weston. Streets included are Stalnaker
Addition and Honeysuckle Road. The advisory follows a contractor striking a line, which crews are working to repair. Estimated time of restoration is 12:00pm.
Once service is restored, affected customers should boil their water before consumption until further notice. Once the system recovers, West Virginia American Water will be collecting additional water quality samples in the area of the outage, which require a minimum of 24 hours for analysis. Customers will be notified in the same manner once the analysis is complete, and the advisory can be lifted.
Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms that may be present in the water. Customers are asked to bring water used for drinking, cooking, bathing and brushing teeth to a full boil for a minimum of
one minute, then cool before use.
West Virginia American Water also recommends the following steps:
Throw away beverages and ice cubes if made with tap water;
Keep boiled water in the refrigerator for drinking;
Provide pets with boiled water after cooling;
Do not use home filtering devices in place of boiling or using bottled water; most home water filters will not provide adequate protection from microorganisms; Use only boiled water to treat minor injuries. For the most up to date information on water service restoration, customers are asked to visit their MyWater account at amwater.com/mywater. If needed for emergencies, the customer service center can be reached at 1-800-685-8660.
