## Resource

The Sistersville Ferry is back on track after a setback — the original boat sank, but a replacement is on its way from Pittsburgh, funded by $162K in city insurance. Still needing $60K to cover the $250K total cost, the Ferry Board faces a tough choice: spend reserve funds or risk losing the historic link between West Virginia and Ohio. The barge’s in good shape, and the community’s counting on this vital river crossing to stay alive. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
