Hancock County health officials are asking the public to report any sick or dead birds they find after a starling tested positive for the West Nile virus.

The Hancock County Health Department says the starling was collected from Weirton Heights.

West Nile is a mosquito-borne disease that causes encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. Mosquitoes often breed in stagnant water.

A committee in the House of Delegates has sent a bill to the House floor that would allow private, faith-based adoption agencies to discriminate against prospective parents based on their sexual orientation. Would you support this?

Yes, I think if it is a private organization it's okay.
No, there should be no discrimination.
It should depend on a case by case basis.
