(AP) You won't have to worry about backwoods stereotypes on an upcoming Oprah Winfrey show featuring rural West Virginia families.

She said the last thing she wants to do is "come to West Virginia and try to get that same story that's been done for years about Appalachian people not knowing what they're doing."

(AP) A Beckley trucker told police he was high on a potent amphetamine when he drove northbound in the southbound lanes of the West Virginia Turnpike, leading to a fiery, fatal crash.

After Lionel Robinson, 33, ran from his burning rig and was tackled by troopers in the median, he said he had taken crystal methamphetamine, Assistant Raleigh County Pro-scutor Mark Neil said Thursday. "It's a drug that makes speed look kind of wimpy," Neil said. Robinson, who was charged with driving under the influence causing death, was being held in the Southern Regional Jail in Beckley on $15,000 bond. He could face up to 10 years in prison and a $3,000 fine, Neil said. Robinson entered Interstate 77-64 in Beckley driving north in the southbound lanes Wednesday afternoon, Trooper J.E.

Brooks said. Police were called and eventually chased Robinson as his truck weaved across traffic and the median in both directions, forcing other vehicles off the road, Brooks said. After six miles, Robinson's truck bounced off a guardrail and crashed head-on into another tractor-trailer. The trucks rolled over onto a car and all" three burst into flames, Brooks said. Robinson works for Transportation of Calhoun, Ga.

The driver of the other rig, Richard Rardain of Zanesville, Ohio, works for Leaseway Custom-: ized Transportation of Columbus, Ohio. Crime reports Woman charged City police have arrested a woman on a first-degree misdemeanor charge of child endanger-ment for leaving her 6-year-old daughter home alone late Thursday night. In their report, Officers Chuck Wilhelm and Joseph Hall said the home at 380 N. 11th St. was "very dirty" and "infested with cockroaches." They fed the child at the police station and then turned her over to her grandmother who has custody of the girl's older sister.

The mother, Julie G. Luckey-doo, 31, allegedly told police she and two friends went to a downtown bar, and one of the friends, who's name she wasn't sure of, was supposed to go back to the house and watch the child. Later, Luckeydoo found out the friend never went back to watch the girl, but instead went to another bar. Business vandalized Vandals armed with spray paint covered the inside of the Laundromat at 165 S. Third St.

with racial slurs, inverted stars, swastikas, and iron crosses. City police said the incident happened sometime Wednesday. Stocks Mutual funds The following mutual funding listings are provided by Edward D. Jonet Co. Price are bid price a of prevloua day market doe.
