EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER LESLIE RUBIN IS LIVE IN THE STUDIO WITH MORE ON THE ON-GOING STRUGGLE TO FUND POLICE AND FIREFIGHTER PENSIONS... ELIZABETH...MAYOR DANNY JONES SAYS THE CITY HAS MORE THAN 200 MILLION DOLLARS IN PENSION DEBT...AND IF THEY DON'T ACT NOW, THERE WILL BE MAJOR ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD.. "I think we can do this. I think we can handle it." CHARLESTON POLICE CHIEF BRENT WEBSTER SAYS HE WASN'T SURPRISED WHEN HE HEARD 10 EMPTY SPOTS AT HIS DEPARTMENT WERE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.... "We may have one less detective, we may have one less traffic officer, we may have one less drug cop." IT'S ALL PART OF THE LATEST ROUND OF BUDGET CUTS TO FUND A PENSION DEBT THAT'S ALREADY PUT THE CHARLESTON FIRE DEPARTMENT HEAD TO HEAD WITH THE CITY... "The cost of a police officer and the cost of a firefighter has become dramatically more expensive." THERE ARE 162 CHARLESTON POLICE OFFICERS RIGHT NOW, BUT THE CITY IS BUDGETED FOR 173. MAYOR DANNY JONES WILL ASK CITY COUNCIL TO ELIMINATE 10 OF THOSE EMPTY SPOTS, WITH A SAVINGS OF ROUGHLY 400-THOUSAND-DOLLARS A YEAR... "Just like I get a paycheck every two weeks, we have to pay their out of the same pot of money, so when a person retires it's almost like they're not leaving." CHIEF WEBSTER SAYS DESPITE THE CUTS, THE PUBLIC'S SAFETY WILL NOT BE IN JEOPARDY... "911 what is your emergency?" WEBSTER SAYS HIS OFFICER'S NUMBER ONE PRIORITY IS RESPONDING TO 911 CALLS... "And along with that would be visibility in all the neighborhoods." WEBSTER BELIEVES THE CUTS ARE MANAGEABLE, AND CHANGES WILL HAVE TO BE MADE...BUT AS FOR CHARLESTON RESIDENTS, HE SAYS THERE'S NO NEED TO WORRY. "Public safety will not suffer. I can't see how it can because we will keep patrol staffed." CHARLESTON CITY COUNCIL WILL HAVE THE FINAL SAY IN THE MATTER. THEY WILL VOTE AT THEIR REUGLAR MEETING ON MONDAY ON THE CUTS. BOTH WEBSTER AND JONES WANT TO REITERATE THAT NO ONE IS BEING LAID OFF. REPORTING LIVE IN THE STUDIO, LESLIE RUBIN, EYEWITNESS NEWS.

BUT AS EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER KENNIE BASS TELLS US, THE MOUNTAIN STATE WON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH MAJOR REDUCTIONS. Kennie Bass/Eyewitness News: Martinsburg's 167th Airlift Wing is losing its 11 C-5A Galaxy Aircraft. But the base won't be empty, instead, the Air Force is giving the unit eight C-17 Globemaster aircraft. They can perform similar missions as the C-5, but they are newer and more dependable. Charleston's 130th Airlift Wing will have a smaller reduction. One of the wing's nine C-130s is going away, along with a surveillance aircraft. With the National Guard bearing the brunt of the Air Force's equipment and troop reductions, West Virginia's Adjutant General says the state fared pretty well. Gen. James Hoyer/W.Va.

Return to Story IndexFOOD REV NOW
EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER DARRAH WILCOX SHOWS US HOW TO MAKE A HEALTHIER GAME PLAN IN THIS WEEK'S FOOD REVOLUTION NOW. Most of us know Americans consume more calories on Thanksgiving than any other day of the year... but right behind Turkey Day... is the Superbowl!! "I think a lot of people look at that like, it only comes around once a year, let's take advantage of it." Pizza, hot wings... chips... dips... you name it... we eat it. "Instead of making it a lifestyle choice of having just a little bit of what they want, instead of overindulging, they really haven't learned that." You may not realize how many calorie-bombs are lurking in your favorite pizza box! "It's amazing, I don't want to say the lack of knowledge, but the lack of understanding the calorie content of some of those foods." Just for fun... we check out just how hard you'd have to work out to burn off about three slices of meat-lovers pizza... "You know if we were looking at things we would have to do in our facility, you would have to row on a rower for an hour to burn that." You could also spend more than 20 hours Tebowing. To burn off six bottles of the average beer... try doing the wave 4,280 times... or about as many squats. The good news... you have options!! "You can use the chicken wing as a primary example. There are multiple different ways to have a chicken wing that's actually healthier and not neccessarily laden with all the calories." Unless you want to run the length of a football field 249 times to burn off just a few of your deep-fried faves... take a timeout to make a healthier call. "There's going to be a Superbowl each year. There's going to be a Thanksgiving, you know, family dinner each year. Those are things that are going to happen, and if you want to have long-term success, you're going to have to make that part of your life." FOR MORE WAYS TO CUT BACK... CHECK OUT THE FOOD REVOLUTION NOW SECTION ON W-C-H-S- T V DOT COM.

THAT'S WHY THE WHOLE MONTH OF FEBRUARY IS DEDICATED TO RAISING AWARENESS. EYEWITNESS NEWS REPORTER DARRAH WILCOX HAS MORE.... "At the office they've teased me that I'm the ultimate PR person for St. Marys." As director of public relations and marketing for SMMC, Sharon Shaw plays a big role in planning the Go Red For Women luncheon each year. Last year, was one she'll never forget. "Just before I got to feeling sweaty and my arm hurt and other things started not feeling right, and just before the event started I was taken to the hopspital and was found to have had a heart attack." Shaw and others shared their stories at this year's luncheon and fashion show Friday afternoon. Shaw "Today I'm a survivor." Joyce Johnson "Proud that I'm still here." It's been nearly 12 years since Joyce Johnson blacked out on a train trip to the new river. "No other symptoms. I ended up in the hospital in Charelston, ended up with my doctors in Huntington, then I had open heart surgery. One in three women will be affected by heart disease. It's the number one killer for women. That's why the AHA will use this whole month to raise awareness. "Just getting women together and having them more conscious of what can go on in your life you know. Watch your numbers. Listen to your body. Just take good care of yourself."
