Good Tuesday, everyone. In case you haven’t heard: Bob Huggins, the longtime WVU men’s basketball coach, was in the national spotlight overnight for using a homophobic slur on a live radio program. As a WVU fan and a native West Virginian, I am angered by this whole incident. I can only hope that amends will be made to the LGBTQ+ community; to WVU students, faculty, employees, benefactors and alumni; and to West Virginia — and West Virginians — as a  whole.

Here are some other headlines that caught my eye. Take a look at this:

• Fire Hydrant Failure: Charleston Mayor Amy Schuler Goodwin and citizens of a West Side neighborhood are voicing concern after two fire hydrants failed to provide enough water pressure to extinguish a fire at a house on Chester Road last Friday. Charleston councilwoman Jeanine Faegre told the Charleston Gazette-Mail’s Lori Kersey that the pressure incident should never have occurred. “It was really troublesome to see the firemen scrambling without the tool they needed the most, and that was water,” Faegre told the paper.

• Correction Staffing Troubles: The staffing vacancy rate in West Virginia jails continues to rise, complicating an already dire situation for the state’s corrections system. West Virginia Metro News’s Brad McElhinny reports that the state’s corrections facilities saw more than 1,020 vacancies last month alone. The Potomac Highlands Regional Jail in Augusta had a whopping 76 percent job vacancy rate — the highest in the state — followed by the Northern Regional Jail in Moundsville and the Eastern Regional Jail in Martinsburg.

• Pulitzer Family: A father and son duo at a local news website in Alabama have won a Pulitzer for investigating a municipal police force. Ramsey Archibald and his father, John Archibald, learned they’d won the prize for local reporting on Monday, according to a report from New York Times media reporter Benjamin Mullin. Two editors on the website’s investigative team also received the honor. In 2018, John Archibald won a Pulitzer for commentary, making this his second win of the prestigious award.

• BBC Bike Bureau: Perhaps you’ve heard of mobile journalism, the trend in recent years for journalists to do remote reporting mostly — or, in some cases, entirely — on their mobile devices. Now, Britain’s BBC has taken their mobile reporting efforts to a whole new level, launching a so-called bike bureau in the Netherlands. Using bicycles, mobile devices and Wi-Fi, reporters are able to broadcast live from nearly anywhere with a good connection, all while leaving a smaller footprint on the environment.
