Marion County brewer makes beer to support ALS research
MORGANTOWN, (WBOY) — Short Story Brewing and construction company March-Westing teamed up this May to brew a beer while making a difference for West Virginian ALS patients. Together, March-Westin Project Manager Steve Raymond and Short Story Head Brewer Cody Higinbotham came up with the idea for 'Topped Off,' a double dry-hopped IPA using Citra and Galaxy hops that comes in at 6.5% ABV. 'When [March-Westin] came to us, man, we knew we wanted to do it,' Higinbotham said. 'Me and Steve, we've known each other for a while, and once he got a hold of me it was lights out, we knew we were gonna do it.' March-Westin's owner, Phil Wesser, is one of about 30,000 ALS patients living in the United States. Also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) affects a body's nerve cells, particularly in the brain and spine, and causes muscles to weaken over time and can even lead to paralysis, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Every pour or can sale of the Topped Off IPA will go toward the West Virginia chapter of the ALS Association, which provides assistance to ALS patients in the state. EXCLUSIVE: An up close look at the Green Bank Telescope 'Not only is it a great cause for raising funds for ALS, but it's also a really good tasting beer,' Raymond said. ' [We're] super proud about how it turned out, Short Story did a phenomenal job in brewing it with us, and, at the end of the day, it's certainly worth a try to support a local cause, and you're supporting a local business.' Right now, Topped Off can be found at all four Short Story Brewing locations, and a small number of cans are still available in the Westover Taphouse near Morgantown.

More people are ditching Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile according to new data — here's where they're going
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. It's been a long time since I was on a cell phone plan from any of the big three wireless carriers, but it looks like more people are ditching them as well, at least according to the latest data reports. I'm not surprised by this sudden shift either, especially when some of the best cheap cell phone plans come from MVNOs and regional wireless carriers. From increasing prices to severe outages, it hasn't been easy for traditional wireless carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile to keep their customers. In fact, they're losing out to cable companies of all things. What's really surprising is that the MoffettNathanson report shows that cable companies are tacking on new customers at an impressive rate — led by Charter Communications, Comcast and Altice USA. They added 886,000 lines during the first three months of the year, which is up from the 804,000 accounted for during the same period in 2024. Charter Communications alone added 514,000 lines in Q1 2025, which outperformed the 495,000 lines that T-Mobile gained for the same period. Meanwhile, rivals AT&T added 324,000 — while Verizon was red for the period with a loss of 289,000 customers. Verizon recently added a 3-year price lock guarantee to entice customers, a move that aims to mitigate fears about phone plan rates continually increasing. Comcast also saw positive gains, adding 323,000 customers in Q1 2025, with Altice gaining 49,000 customers. In total, cable companies added 19.05 million mobile lines, which indicates that more people are interested in other cell phone plans beyond those from the big three carriers. Even though cable companies have long established themselves as budget alternatives and particularly target the lower end of the market, they're now branching out by offering a wide range of cell phone plans — with a bigger focus on adding premium plans and devices. It also helps that these phone plan services are sometimes bundled in with home broadband service. I review Samsung phones for a living — and the company's Galaxy lineup is starting to look a little crowded We're just weeks away from an iOS 19 preview — these are the 5 rumored changes I'm looking forward to Your next iPhone could cost substantially more — Trump threatens 25% tariff

New footage shows final moments before car driven into pedestrians in Liverpool
New footage which emerged this afternoon shows the car that hit pedestrians at Liverpool's victory parade in the moments leading up to the horrifying incident on Monday night. Stark footage has shown the final moments in Liverpool before a car was reportedly driven into pedestrians. Tragically, at least 79 people, including four children, were injured when the vehicle drove through a crowd celebrating Liverpool's Premier League victory parade. A 53-year-old man from West Derby, Liverpool, remained in custody on May 28 after cops were granted further time to question him on suspicion of attempted murder, dangerous driving and drug driving, the local force confirmed. A police spokesman said seven people remained in hospital in a stable condition after the collision on Water Street. The new footage now shows the car emerging onto Dale Street at its eastern-most point, close to the Queensway Tunnel. The Mirror, which obtained the footage, reported that the car was in the area at 5.56pm. Two minutes before, an ambulance - which could possibly be the emergency vehicle police believe the driver of the Galaxy tailgated before driving into pedestrians - was seen moving around the same area. Chilling footage then shows the Galaxy continuing to pass along Dale Street, with the vehicle seen near to the junction of Dale Street and Cumberland Street at 5.57pm. Vehicles and pedestrians walking back from the parade are visible in the video, and at one point the car nearly collides with a woman crossing the road. Another clip also shows the car making its way further along Dale Street, passing by people walking back from the parade. The driver then continued along Dale Street towards Water Street when a road block was temporarily lifted to allow an ambulance to respond to a report of a person suffering a suspected heart attack. The car was then driven into the crowd. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson from Merseyside Police said in an update: "I'm pleased to say that the number of people in hospital is reducing as they continue to recover from the awful incident. We continue to support those still receiving treatment and as part of our ongoing inquiries we are identifying more people who were injured. "I want to reassure the public of Merseyside that detectives are making significant progress as we seek to establish the full circumstances that led to what happened. "In addition, extensive CCTV inquiries are being carried out across the city to establish the movements of the car, a Ford Galaxy, before the incident took place. "We have already had an incredible response from many of those who were there on the day, and I thank them for their co-operation with our investigation. I would encourage anyone who has not yet contacted police who may have information on this incident to do so. "An extensive investigation into the precise circumstances of the incident is ongoing, and we continue to ask people not to speculate on the circumstances surrounding the incident and refrain from sharing distressing content online." Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer travelled to the force headquarters in Liverpool to meet with Deputy Chief Constable Chris Green, Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims, Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell and Metro Mayor of the Liverpool City Region Steve Rotheram. He told the meeting: "The scenes on Monday were just awful, to see how incredible joy at an amazing achievement turned to horror in a moment. Steve, the mayor, has been keeping me informed and updated along with my team but it's really important to be here to go through this first hand with you, so thank you for making time and ensuring that I get to see the detail in the way that I'd like to."

Gomez slams LA Galaxy for 'bush league' treatment of Delgado
Gomez slams LA Galaxy for 'bush league' treatment of Delgado Show Caption Hide Caption Relegation in MLS? Tyler Adams thinks it should be added USMNT and Premiere League player Tyler Adams thinks relegation would make the MLS as a whole more exciting and competitive for the players and fans. Sports Seriously Herculez Gomez has hit out at the LA Galaxy for the club's "bush league" treatment of former midfielder Mark Delgado surrounding Sunday's match against LAFC. Delgado was a vital part of the Galaxy's MLS Cup-winning side in 2024, but was shipped to LAFC in an offseason trade. The midfielder faced his former team for the first time on Sunday in El Tráfico, but the Galaxy's plan to present the 30-year-old with his championship ring from last season went awry. Delgado was given his ring in an emotional ceremony on Friday. According to the midfielder, the Galaxy told him that video of the presentation would be played on the big screen at Dignity Health Sports Park during warmups on Sunday. The video would give Galaxy fans the chance to recognize Delgado's contributions to the team's record sixth MLS Cup triumph. But the Galaxy didn't show the video on the big screen at all. Instead, the club posted it on its social media channels the day before the game. 'I did that [filming] on Friday and I was told that it was going to be put on the day of the game during warmups, and clearly that didn't happen, just to clarify that," Delgado told reporters after the match. "So it was supposed to be a nice reception, a thank you, but clearly that didn't happen. 'It was nice [getting the ring], but, clearly what I was told didn't happen, so I was not happy about it. A lot of people were not happy about it, but I guess it was out of my control. I was told one thing, and another thing happened.' According to Gomez, the Galaxy threw Delgado under the bus with the late switch, attempting to show that he still maintained loyalty to his former team ahead of a big rivalry match. "This is just so bush league from the LA Galaxy on so many levels," the former Galaxy and U.S. men's national team striker said on "Futbol Americas." "They weaponized a social media video to try to hurt LAFC, like how he's one of us, he's never one of you, etc, etc. And fans see this and they get angry at Mark Delgado." Delgado was emotional in the video, which Gomez said had nothing to do with the Galaxy as a club, but rather the presence of so many coaches who have been with the midfielder throughout his career. "Make no mistake, LA Galaxy, Mark Delgado wasn't crying for you," Gomez said. "Those weren't tears for the Galaxy. Those were tears for his family. Those were tears for the people that were an extended part of his family. "I feel bad to see what the LA Galaxy has turned into this season. This is a storied franchise, act like one." The Galaxy and LAFC drew 2-2 in El Tráfico, pushing the Galaxy's winless start to 14 games (0W-4D-10L) — a MLS record for the longest winless run to start a season.
