The end of summer also marks several departures from West Virginia's government and political scene:
* Warden Thomas McBride, who has overseen the Mount Olive Correctional Complex for six of its 12 years, is retiring, WOWK-TV reports.
* Andrew Schneider is stepping down as executive director of the oft-embattled West Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, to take a similar post in Connecticut. MetroNews has a story, while The Charleston Gazette profiled Schneider earlier this month.
* The Legislature is losing two two veterans. Director Ted Shanklin of Post Audits, who has been with this office since 1978, is retiring. So is Audit Manager Nick Arvon, who started with the Legislative Auditor's Office in April 1961.
Friends and co-workers plan to fete the long-toiling duo today at the Capitol.
