Couple's sinking feeling
By NAOMI KIMBLE, Journal Staff Writer
MARTINSBURG - Christmas this year isn't going to be quite the way Lacy and Justin Duewel-Zahniser had expected.
Instead of celebrating the holiday in their home off Jasmine Lane, the couple and their two young children will be staying with family elsewhere, they said.
The four were forced to leave their house this week, after a sinkhole opened up near their front porch. Duewel-Zahniser said she was told that the hole could be up to 25 feet deep. She was worried that it could also extend under a portion of the family's home.
"There's a lot of unanswered questions," her husband said, as he peered into the hole Wednesday evening.
