Good morning, Jackson County. At speeds exceeding 110 mph, a stolen Subaru Outback tore through local roads before crashing at an intersection—bringing a dramatic end to a high-speed chase that landed 41-year-old David McDaniel in both the hospital and legal trouble. The Meigs County man now faces multiple charges after allegedly swiping the vehicle from a Dollar General parking lot and refusing to yield to deputies' attempts to stop him.
Meanwhile, threads of history are being preserved through dedicated hands in Ravenswood, where Ellen Sayre's century-old quilt has inspired a meticulous reproduction for the historic Sayre Cabin. And speaking of dedication, local eighth-grader Averi Brannon is pirouetting her way to national recognition, recently placing 30th among 300 competitors at the New York City Dance Alliance Nationals while maintaining straight A's and teaching herself to sew—proving Jackson County talent shines on multiple stages.

🚗 High-speed chase ends in crash, Meigs County man faces charges. David McDaniel, 41, was apprehended after allegedly stealing a 2010 Subaru Outback from a Dollar General parking lot in Reno. When deputies attempted to stop him, McDaniel fled at speeds exceeding 110 mph in a 60 mph zone before crashing into two vehicles at an intersection. He was taken to WVU Medicine Camden Clark Medical Center for treatment following the incident. McDaniel now faces charges of grand theft of a motor vehicle and failure to comply with an officer's orders.
🧵 A historic quilt finds new life in Ravenswood's Sayre Cabin. The tattered, hand-quilted piece created by Ellen Sayre between 1905-1935 has been preserved in the Great Bend Museum while a meticulous replica is being crafted. Quilt guild president Terri Hackney has spent hundreds of hours studying the original's unique "Ocean Wave on Point" pattern, machine-piecing and hand-quilting a reproduction that honors Ellen's craftsmanship. The replica will eventually adorn the period-appropriate bed in the cabin, joining other authentic Sayre family artifacts that help visitors understand pioneer life in West Virginia.
💃 Teenage dancer turns passion into national success at just 14. Averi Brannon, an eighth-grader at Ohio Virtual Academy, has been dancing since age 3 and now trains 10 hours weekly while maintaining straight A's. The Belpre native recently placed 30th out of 300 competitors at the New York City Dance Alliance Nationals and will dance as Sugar Plum Fairy in her studio's "Nutcracker" production. Beyond dance, Brannon taught herself to sew during COVID lockdown and dreams of choreographing professionally or starting her own dancewear business.
