By JOHN G. WOLFE
Illegal parking fines in Weston
are going to increase this week.
Weston Parking Enforcement Officer Malissa Henline announced
that there will be two major changes
on the fines imposed for improper
parking.
The fine for overtime parking at
the meters will be increasing from
$3 to $5 and will increase in amount
if the same vehicle is ticketed within
a 24 hour period.
In the past, when Henline made
patrols and a ticket had been previously given, the fine for the second
and third tickets given was also $3.
Now the second offense fine in a
24 hour period is $10, and the third
offense ticket will be $15.
In other words, a person could
park overtime at a meter and face
a possible penalty of $9 for the 24
hour period. Now if this is done the
person will face a daily fine of $30.
The second major change is for
illegal parking in a fire lane. In the
past, the fine for this offense was
$10. The fine for this offense has
increased to $25 per ticket.
The increases, Henline said,
“puts Weston on par with other
area cities.”
The increase in fines for overtime parking and parking in a fire
lane followed approval by the
Weston City Council at a special

Guilty Slayer Back in Court
Kevin Lane Putnam, found
guilty on Feb. 19 of voluntary
manslaughter in the death of his
brother Stephen Jerod Putnam, will
be in Lewis County Circuit Court
on Thursday on post-trial motions
filed on his behalf by his attorneys.
The hearing is set for 11 a.m.
This is just one of many criminal
cases scheduled for different types
of hearings this week before Circuit
Judge Jacob Reger.
Last week a dozen individuals
were before the judge for a variety
of hearings related to criminal
charges they face.
Joseph Michael Anguilli pled
guilty to one count of felony third
offense shoplifting. A presentence
investigation was ordered with
the case continued to May 4 for
sentencing. Anguilli was ordered to
pay $1,074.84 to the victim of his
crime. He was released from jail on
bond to remain on home confinement until his sentencing in May.
Ryan Lee Sears waived a presentence investigation in his case
and received a 1-5 year suspended
sentence on a conviction for delivery of a controlled substance/
methamphetamine. Sears was
placed on five years of probation
and is currently in a drug treatment
program.
Norma Jean Wilson was in court
for a hearing regarding her competency to stand trial. A motion for
further psychiatric evaluation was
approved by the court, even though
William R. Sharpe, Jr. Hospital
claims she is now competent to
stand trial.
Tori Amanda Foster was in court

Attempted
Burglary
Holds Man
Hinzman Retiring
A Buckhannon man is facing
two felony charges and a misdemeanor charge following what police say was an attempted burglary
at a residence in Lewis County.
Tiler Scott Marteney, 23, of
Vicksburg Road, Buckhannon, was
charged with attempted burglary,
felony conspiracy and destruction
of property by Deputy John Tonkin
of the Lewis County Sheriff’s Department last week.
According to Tonkin’s complaint, on March 16, he along with
Cpl. Eric Riddle of the Weston
Police Department responded to
Rana Estates in Roanoke on an
active breaking and entering call.
Once on scene, a resident in the
trailer court informed Tonkin that
they had witnessed a male break the
window at a neighbor’s residence.
Tonkin then made contact with
the victim, who informed him that
Marteney along with another male
subject came to her residence and
beat on the door. She advised them
to leave and they did. She told
Tonkin that she was in her living
room when she heard a vehicle pull
up and then saw glass shatter from
her kitchen window.
She said that she saw the two
attempting to climb through the
broken window and she yelled at
them, telling them that she had a
gun and would use it if they came
inside. The subjects told her they
would get a gun out of their car but
then fled in a small black car that
she said belonged to the man that
accompanied Marteney.
Tonkin wrote in his criminal
complaint against Marteney that,

Nearly a year after accused murderer Rocco Zuccaro scaled a 15foot wall escaping from William R. Sharpe, Jr Hospital leading to a
massive manhunt before his capture, another patient has escaped from
the facility. This patient has yet to be caught.
The difference between this patient and Zuccaro, according to DHHR
sources, is that the patient that escaped on Friday was not deemed
to be a threat to others. He was at
Sharpe as a civil commitment rather
than a criminal admitted for mental
evaluation.
However, it should be noted that
all patients admitted to Sharpe are
committed by the court and are
deemed to be a threat to themselves
or others. There are no voluntary
commitments at the mental health
facility.
On Friday, at noon, Lewis E911
was notified that at approximately
11:45 a.m. a patient had scaled
a fence and was on the lam. The
description given, and heard on
the emergency scanner, was of a
22-year-old male subject, weighing
approximately 150 pounds, with
dark hair, a mustache and goatee,
wearing gray sweatpants, a gray
hoodie and one shoe.
ANDREW GOULD
Police responded and the search
of nearby areas was on, but the
patient was not found. Based on
reliable sources, we have learned
that the patient was with others
on a break for some fresh air in a
back courtyard area at Sharpe and
the patients were under supervision. Weston Democrat reporter

He was able to spell the championship word “epiphyte” because
he asked for the origin and knew
that in Greek it would have a ph

epiphyte is a plant that grows on
another plant but is not parasitic,
such as numerous ferns, air plants
and orchids in tropical rain forests.

Opinion
Bobing Along
Good Leaders Are Scarce
By BOB BILLETER
High Court Justice
President Obama last week nominated
federal appeals court judge Merrick Garland
to the U.S. Supreme Court. Garfield, 63, is
the chief judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit.
He would replace Justice Antonin Scalia,
a conservative who died last month. Scalia
was one of the most respected conservatives
on the court for decades. Garland is a native
of Chicago and a graduate of Harvard Law
School.
He held a top post in the Justice Department
when he was sent to Oklahoma City the day
after the bombing at the federal courthouse
to supervise the investigation. He oversaw
the convictions of Timothy McVeigh and
Terry Nichols and went on to supervise the
investigation of Unabomber Ted Kaczynski.
There is a big problem here. The U.S.
Senate must confirm any nominee and the
Republican senators who control the body
have declared that they will not approve an
Obama nominee because the general election
is in the fall and they expect a Republican

the Republican president, if one is elected,
would nominate a justice.
There is precedent for doing this. Vice
President Biden established the precedent in
a somewhat similar situation when he was
serving in Congress.

favored the conservatives. A new liberal
justice would alter that balance in favor of

Politics is an amazing science, is
it not? It is extremely entertaining to
follow the political activity that is
taking place in our country today. It
is also worrisome at times. Perhaps
we could also say it is alarming,
maddening. What we cannot say is
that it is dull. The Donald has really
stirred things up and brought a lot
of people our of their slumber and
onto their feet.
Whatever his fate as a presidential candidate we probably should
thank him for doing this. Our
country has been languishing in a
distressing era of mediocrity and
decaying ideals. President Obama
made it clear early in his tenure in
office that America shouldn’t be
traipsing around the world meddling and poking its nose into the
affairs of other countries.
So he pulled our country back
to Fortress America. The result has
been catastrophic. The forces of evil
around the world rejoiced, danced
in the streets and proceeded to fill
the void that our departure created.
The result is that today the world
has become a much more dangerous
place and the security of our country
has been diminished.
Furthermore, the American
people are worse off economically
than they were a decade ago. More
people are struggling to make ends
meet and more people are on government assistance.
The liberals promise much but
deliver little. Once they are elected
they realize that the big battle is
won. They now are in the bully pulpit and they can twist the facts and
the truth and make their mistakes
look like the products of a genius.
What was it Pogo said? “We
has met the enemy and they is us.”
Yes sir, they sure are. Citizens
of a republic that is going to remain
strong and prosperous must learn
to decipher political jabber and discern the truth. It ain’t easy, McGee.
It takes some time and effort. There
is where the problem is. Too many
people don’t want to take the time
to read, to study, to think and to
find the truth in the avalanche of
deceptions that descend on us daily
from the lips of the political class.
Have you noticed how the
politicians trash each other when
they are rivals but when they are
victorious they are magnanimous
and the rivals attacked by them are
so forgiving?
Why are they like this? The winners need their support to maintain
their power and the losers want the
favors that the winners will now be
able to bestow on them now that
they have access to the huge pile
of money and the plush jobs they
will be in control of.

Many politicians are poor as
church mice when they enter
politics and they are worth millions
of dollars when they die in the
opulent bedroom in their mansion.
But throngs of people still worship
them even though they grew poorer
during the politician’s lifetime as
the politician became filthy rich.
It is pretty obvious that Mrs.
Clinton is going to win nomination if she isn’t indicted. That’s
saying a mouthful, isn’t it — if
she isn’t indicted? But can she be
elected? They say most people
under 40 years of age don’t like
her. That, I would say, is one heck
of a handicap.
And only about 35 or 40 percent
of Republicans are supporting
Trump. Wouldn’t you think that our
two political parties could find more
popular people to run for office than
the people who are running this
year? One of Ted Cruz’s parents is
a Canadian and we are being told
that Cruz is not liked by his fellow senators. And Mrs. Clinton’s
main opposition is a socialist. It is
amazing when you think about it.
Aren’t there people out there who
have better credentials to seek the
highest office in the land than these
candidates?
One of my favorite presidents
was Coolidge. He was, you will
remember, a man of few words.
Did you know that he substantially
reduced the national debt? He was
popular. He probably could have
been reelected but he declined in
a 10-word statement. Wouldn’t
Coolidge’s frugality and quiet
nature be a welcome change in
politics today? Wouldn’t it?
Like Trump, Wallace was hated
by his own party’s establishment,
and widely discounted by political
observers until his strength in
1968 as a third-party candidate
became undeniable.
He talked tough. He warned
protesters getting in the way of his
car that it would be “the last car
they ever blocked.”
He was anti-intellectual. He
lambasted “pointy-headed professors who can’t even park a bicycle
straight.”
He hated the media (while soaking up coverage). Journalists were
“sissy-britches intellectual morons.”
He relished the idea of cracking down on speech he disliked.
He promised “to seek indictment
against any college professor who
calls for a communist victory [in
Vietnam].”
He was light on policy. He
didn’t produce a platform until
three weeks before the election in
1968, and it was full of meaningless
platitudes.
He had no principled opposition
to government, and in fact, touted
programs he found congenial.
He had no hesitation in making
absurdly paranoid accusations,
claiming Richard Nixon was manipulating public opinion in 1968
through his control of pollsters.
Like Trump, Wallace didn’t run
a highly organized political operation -- he lived off the land of his
own native political talent and the
fervent support of his fans. He relied
on what one journalist called -- in a
formulation that could apply equally well to Trump -- his “uncanny
and total and undistracted instincts
for the primitive dynamics of the
American democratic system.”
Wallace was a hideous racist who
appealed to racists, but also crystallized a deeper anger and discontent
with a country that had gone soft
and wasn’t winning anymore. He
obviously wasn’t a statesman, but
a demagogue who exploited these
popular passions and made them
more base. The same is true of
Trump.
Yet Wallace never came close to
capturing a major party’s nomination and arriving at the doorstep
of the presidency. With Donald
Trump leading in the Republican
contest, the real-estate mogul
would probably have not just
George Wallace’s respect, but his
envy.

Alum Bridge Group Meets
--- Letters to the Editor --Mace Letter
Wins Support
To the Editor and citizens of
W.Va.
This letter is a response to and
statement of support for Mr. James
Mace, who published a letter in
The Weston Democrat of March
16, in which he detailed how his
property and quality of life have
been negatively impacted by the
actions of others, specifically by
Momentum and by Precision Pipeline through the construction of the
Stonewall Gas Gathering Pipeline
on neighboring property.
Mr. Mace is right to complain.
No reasonable person would believe that anybody should have their
property damaged and their quality
of life degraded by the actions or
their neighbors in the pursuit of
their goals and profits.
While nobody contends that
either Momentum or Precision
Pipeline set out with the objective
of harming their neighbors, it is
incontrovertible that their actions
do at times harm others.
Momentum and Precision have
a moral and legal responsibility to
correct the problems and compensate Mr. Mace for his costs, loss
of property value, degradation of
his quality of life and loss of full
use and enjoyment of his personal
property.
One option open to Mr. Mace is
to seek compensation for his losses
in a court of law. Fortunately, our
fair minded legislators in Charleston this year defeated Senate Bill
508, which would have severely
curtailed the ability of Mace and
others in similar situations to seek
redress in the courts in defense of
their property and quality of life.
We should thank our legislators
who killed that odious bill, along
with all the concerned citizens
who mounted a strong campaign
against the bill.
Finally, it should be pointed out
that our County Commission has
an obligation to act to protect our
citizens from the kind of damage
and abuse being suffered by Mr.
Mace and others. Among other
things, Mace should be granted a
generous reduction in his property
taxes in partial compensation for
his costs and lost value and utility
of his property.
After all, a big selling point for
Stonewall Gas Gathering and other
new infrastructure projects has
been the promise of a huge property
tax windfall for the counties.
That should more than offset any
compensatory tax reductions for the
citizens who suffer harm through
no fault of their own.
Sincerely,
Tom and Becky Berlin

had our 35th annual Irish Spring
Festival. Even though the weather
was not the best, people from all
over came and participated in the
events. This festival could not be
done without the great people of
the small town community.
With that being said let me address the issue that I have. At our
parade we do not allow vehicles.
It is stated in the bi laws.
As most of you know this is an
election year and we have quite a
few offices up in the county. We
had one individual politician that
drove her car in the parade. For
the ones that walked we greatly
appreciate that you came out and
followed the rules that were in place
and also that you were wonderful
to the people but please don’t just
think of us just on election years.
You are allowed to come up
anytime during the year and not just
when you need our vote. Sometimes
I believe this side of the county is
only thought of when people need
votes. We enjoy having each and
every one of you at the festival but
we do have other events on this
side of the county during different
times of the year that you all are
also invited to.
I also have one more point to
make. We have also started a neighbor watch committee that meets the
last Tuesday of every month at 7
p.m. held at the Ireland Community
Building. We were told at the last
meeting by an officer in the county
that they would try to come up and
be there throughout the festival.
During the busiest day of the
festival which was Saturday I did
not see one cop in or out of uniform
supporting our end of the county.
I understand that emergencies
come up and other things are important but I just don’t want to be left
out when it comes to this county.
The people of this end of the county
have fought many battles and we
all help and respected each other.
We would just like the same
kindness from our police officers.
Please don’t take this the wrong
way. You all do great things, but
remember we are a part of this
county. We may not have as many
people as Weston or Jane Lew but
we still have a voice and don’t want
to be forgotten.
Thank you,
Aaron Hall

The 26th annual West Virginia
Beef Expo will be held at Jackson’s
Mill April 7-9. This event is one of
the largest beef cattle activities in
the state and will attract farmers
from around W.Va. and surrounding states.
Since beef cattle are the number
one agricultural enterprise of the
area, it is popular with local farmers
as well. The Expo features sales
from six breeds, a trade show, a
photo contest, judging contests for
youth and more.
The seven breeds represented
include Limousin, Polled Hereford,
Simmental, Angus, Charolais, and
Red Angus. Between them, they
have 250 head cataloged to sell,
including bulls, heifers, and older
females.
All of the sales take place on
Saturday, April 9, starting at 9:30
a.m. with Polled Hereford. They
will be followed by Simmental at
11 a.m., Angus at noon, Charolais
at 1:30 p.m., Limousin at 2 p.m.
and Red Angus at 3 p.m.
The Limousin, Angus and
Polled Hereford breeds will also
each have a show on Friday.
Other major activities on Friday
include the stockman’s judging
contest, grassland contest, collegiate beef advocacy contest,
youth beef cook-off and the beef
expo banquet.
The judging contest is for 4-H
and FFA members and they judge
cattle classes, an equipment identification class, grade feeder cattle,
beef cut identification and plant
identification. This is usually a
large contest, which last year had
All Hands on Deck
Per the Department of Veterans
Affairs, a Blue Water Sailor seeking
disability for Agent Orange exposure only has to approximate when
and where he or she was, and the VA
will do the rest, helpfully hunting up
the ship’s records for the veteran’s
claim. But this takes time, which a
lot of ill veterans don’t have. And
you really can’t expect the VA to put
a rush on digging through archives.
The VA also throws up some
silly roadblocks. For example, it
has temporarily pulled the list of
eligible ships off its website. There’s
a little note: “The list of U.S. Navy
and Coast Guard ships associated
with military service in Vietnam
and possible exposure to Agent
Orange is currently being updated.”
However, all across the country,
sailors are banding together and
swapping ship information. There’s
a good chance that if just one sailor
is approved for a certain ship in a
certain location at a certain time,
others on that ship will be as well.
Here’s how you can help, even
if you’re not working on a claim. If
you have any old logs, dig them out.
If you kept a journal or made notes
on a calendar and noted where you
were and when, find it. If you’re
online, look around for Blue Water
Sailor websites and share your ship
location information. Find your
ship’s website and read the posts. Is
anybody looking for specific locations and dates in order to complete
a VA claim? If you don’t have online
skills, find someone who does. It’s
that important.

Beware: Medical Apps
For Smartphones
There’s so much we can do with
the new smartphones. But just
because we can doesn’t mean we

A study from the Illinois Institute of Technology Chicago-Kent
College of Law revealed that a great
many mobile health apps were sharing private medical information
with third parties without the user
being aware.
Granted, for those of us with
health conditions to monitor, a
phone app can be handy to keep
us on track. Sometimes our physicians recommend it. Some apps are
even approved as prescriptions by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Specifically the study focused on
Android diabetes apps and looked
at whether there was indication that
private information was being disclosed to third parties. (Android has
the biggest market share of phone
operating systems.) Researchers
found over 270 diabetes apps and
chose 75 of them to monitor for
transmission analysis.
Within six months, 60 of those
apps were no longer available. Of
the group remaining, 81 percent
didn’t even have a privacy policy.
Of the ones that had privacy policies, only four would even ask if
information could be shared.
Of the 75 chosen for transmission analysis, there was a wide variety of information sent off to third
parties: 86 percent placed tracker
cookies in the app, and most of
them shared information whether
they had a privacy policy or not.
Of the apps that actually had
privacy policies, only 12 asked
for the user’s permission before
sending off their data to others.
Ten shared the information with
business partners, and 16 used the
information for ads.

In the grasslands contest, the

or by calling the WV Cattleman’s

The trade show at the expo will
set up on Thursday and be open

degree in criminal justice from
Glenville State College, and a M.S.
degree in criminal justice from the

Candidate David Parks’answers
to our questions are as follows:
I have worked in the criminal
justice system for over 20 years as
a law enforcement officer. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree and a
master’s degree in criminal justice.
Currently I have a staff of 15 people
at West Virginia Wesleyan College.
For the last five years of my
career at the Lewis County Sheriff’s
Department and in my current position at Wesleyan College, I have
been an administrative lieutenant
and a director, respectively. In
both positions I have worked as a
supervisor and boss.
I feel my experience in the
criminal justice system and my
education have both prepared me
to do the job of circuit clerk.
if elected?
It is my understanding that John
Hinzman and his staff have created
an amazing circuit clerk office and
I hope to continue that record. My
priority would be based on the recommendations and requirements of
the State of West Virginia.
My work experience in the
criminal justice system has enabled
me to see many different types
of documentation and information that is processed through the
circuit clerks office. I have been a
successful supervisor for the past
several years.
I feel my education and administrative experience would be very
beneficial in serving as the next
circuit clerk.

Doug Stalnaker
Democrat candidate Doug Stalnaker resides in Weston with his
wife Sharon Collins Stalnaker, a
former Lewis County teacher for
29 years.
Stalnaker is a graduate of Lewis
County High School, class of 1978.
He furthered his education at West
Virginia Tech, Fairmont State and
West Virginia University.
He is the former owner and
operator of Kiddy Monument Company, LLC, selling that business in
2015 after many successful years
as a businessman.
Candidate Stalnaker is a Methodist by faith and currently serves
as the 4th Vice President of the
South Atlantic Shrine Association
(encompassing a six state area),
is a member and treasurer of the
Nemesis Shrine in Parkersburg,
secretary of the Lewis County
Shrine, member of the Lewis
County Shrine clown parade unit
and previously served on a number
of local boards of directors and as
a former high school and college
basketball and football official.
Candidate Doug Stalnaker’s
answers to our questions are as
follows:
I believe my experiences of serving on the Lewis County Commission (1989-1994) and in the West
Virginia House of Delegates (19942008) have enabled me to see how
the various government entities
function and how numerous levels
of government work together. Also,
in these positions I served in various
leadership capacities and learned to
work effectively with people to get
things accomplished.
In addition, owning and operating a successful business for thirty
years helped me to understand the
internal operations of an office and
working closely with employees
and the public.
if elected?
If elected to Circuit Clerk, my
top priority would be to continue
to provide the same effective, fair
and courteous service that the
public has received during the
past 30 years from John Hinzman
and his deputy clerks. One of the
most important jobs of the Circuit
Clerk is to keep a just and accurate
record of all court proceedings.
With this in mind, I promise the
citizens of Lewis County that I will
accomplish this task while treating
everyone with utmost respect and
dignity when they have interactions
with the Lewis County Circuit
Clerk’s office.
My 20 years in the government positions mentioned in my
answer to the first question have
provided me with a wealth of valuable, in-depth knowledge into the
workings of local, county and state
government. These experiences,
along with running a business,
have developed my management
abilities and my interpersonal
skills in dealing with the public
and employees. My experiences
of running a business and serving
as the treasurer of Nemesis Shrine
have also developed my expertise
in preparing and following a budget
and keeping accurate records.

Escape
Continued from 1A
ficials did find a gray hoodie and
gray sweatpants, indicating that
he must have been wearing street
clothes under his hospital issued
clothing. For a time, however,
police were searching for a man
wearing the gray sweatpants and
hoodie issued by the hospital when
in fact, he was not wearing them.
He did not escape from the same
area that Zuccaro escaped from last
year. That area was made more
secure but it is not known if the
area from where the patient escaped
on Friday had been altered or
made any more secure as the front
courtyard area was following the
Zuccaro escape.
What we do know is that the
community and media were not
notified of the elopement. Following the Zuccaro escape last year,
hospital and DHHR officials vowed
to work on better ways of notifying
the community but that did not and
has not occurred.
We posted the escape information on our Facebook page,
and it was viewed and shared by
thousands. This was not done to
arouse the community but to make
them aware of a possible potential
danger.
One reader of this post, a mother
with young children that lives near
the hospital, was particularly upset
about no notification of the escape.
In her post she wrote, “I would so
much rather know about any time
anyone is unaccounted for than find
out hours later that someone has
actually escaped. After finishing
up with their schoolwork, my kids
were playing outside (again, just
like last time because it’s a pretty
day). We didn’t know, again, until
hours after he escaped. We can see
the complex from our house, yet I
only found out because I happened
to check an email that I had gotten
on FB.”
In an effort to find out more
information, reporter John Wolfe
emailed some comments and
questions to the DHHR about the
matter on Monday. Below are the
comments and responses that were
provided by the DHHR through
their public relations representative
Allison Adler.
Comment/Question from reporter John Wolfe: “It is my understanding that a patient at William
R. Sharpe, Jr. Hospital escaped on
Friday. We received no information
on this. When Zuccaro escaped last
year, we were told the media and
community would be informed
when there was an escape. We received nothing. Could the DHHR
provide some information on the
escape?”
DHHR Response: “A civil
commitment patient eloped on
March 18 from William R. Sharpe,
Jr. Hospital. The Hospital immediately implemented a search of
the woods below the hospital and
Stonewall Hospital. Law enforcement was quickly involved. As of
today (Monday), the patient has
not been located. The patient is
not considered to be dangerous.”
In a follow-up email Wolfe said,
“I thought all committed to Sharpe
were considered to be a danger to
themselves or others? Not meaning
to be contrary, but you all should
know that the public is upset (about
no notification).”
Response: “Without violating
patient privacy issues, this patient
was assessed as not being a harm
to others; much different that the
situation with Zuccaro who had
committed a violent crime.”
As of press time, the patient has
yet to be found. The issue of notifying the community of elopements
from the facility is one that is left up
to the DHHR, Sharpe Hospital and
local and state elected representatives. Time will tell if notification
to the public of elopements will
become a priority.
Commission

ally, Moneypenny provided the
county commission with an update
on The Planning Commission’s
Development Information Packet.
The Planning Commission has
completed the packet for people
moving to the county which may be
in need of contact information and
resources available. Moneypenny
says that the packet is available
online and anyone needing information may contact The Lewis
County Planning Commission at
(304)269-6567.
In other news, the County
Commission read a proclamation
declaring April 2016 as Sexual
Assault Awareness Month in
Lewis County. Terri Flint and Kim
Nicholson from the Lewis County
Hope Inc. Task Force on Domestic
Violence and Sexual Assault were
on hand to receive the proclamation. The County Commission
recognized the importance of increasing the public’s awareness and
celebrated the courage of victims
and the efforts of the local and state
advocates.
In a follow up from a previous meeting, The Lewis County
Commission reported that the
Upshur County Commission had
approved the proposed changes in
fee increases for the Lewis-Upshur
Animal Control Facility. The Lewis
County Commission then also approved the request. The increased
fees will allow the facility to have
pets spayed and neutered on sight
before adoption. The voucher
program would be eliminated.
Additionally, the increased reclaim
fees will be increased in an effort
to deter repeat offenders with pets
who regularly end up at the facility.

the Lewis County Commission
will be held on Monday, March
28 at 10 a.m. on the second floor
of the courthouse at 110 Center

Create Your State Tour Is April 12
Lori McKinney, of Princeton,
will be bringing “Create Your
State” to Weston on Wednesday,
April 13, at Lewis County High
School beginning at 6:30 p.m.
The event is an outgrowth of her
success in Princeton, by bringing
art to a small town as an economic
engine. This concept has been
growing successfully throughout
the U.S. Two small towns listed
on the best 100 Art Towns include
Berkeley Springs and Lewisburg.
McKinney’s presentation will
last about 90 minutes and the lat-
ter part of the presentation will be
the opportunity for the audience to
discuss the importance of art for
small towns.
Many small towns are looking
to art as an answer to the question
of economic downturns in their
downtowns. A question for officials is, “How can we attract and
retain profitable businesses and
talented people?” A key component
of such efforts and one that’s often
mislabeled an 'amenity' is arts and
culture.
But the value of the arts extends
beyond the direct economic impact. When Gallup and the Knight
Foundation set out to answer the
question “What attaches people
to their communities?” in a threeyear study, researchers found that
the key reasons cited by residents
for loving their cities were entertainment and social offerings,
how welcoming the city is and its
aesthetics, in other words, the arts
and culture.
Today’s buzzword to describe
communities’ investment in arts
and culture is “creative placemaking” which means using the arts
to develop an area where people
want to live, work and congregate.
Urban-planning researcher Ann
Markusen defined this concept
for the Mayors’ Institute on City
Design in the white paper Creative
Placemaking:
“In creative placemaking,
partners from public, private,
nonprofit and community sectors
strategically shape the physical and
social character of a neighborhood,
town, city or region around arts and
cultural activities.
“The key is to treat the arts as an
essential part of the city’s identity.
Successful creative placemaking

now recycle bins near the Mayor’s

One of my favorite books of
the Bible is Psalms. The longest
chapter in the Bible is Psalm, 119.

books and Bibles to individuals]
selling Bible portions was held up
at the point of a revolver in a Sicilian forest in the dead of night and
ordered to light a bonfire and burn

From one he read the 23rd
psalm, from another the parable
of the Good Samaritan, from another the Sermon on the Mount,
from another Paul’s hymn to love,
and so on.
After the reading of each extract
the brigand who had held him up
exclaimed: “That’s a good book.
We won’t burn that one. Give it
to me.” In the end, not a book was
burned but passed, one by one, into
the brigand’s hands. He then went
off, books and all, into the darkness.
Years later this same man happened to meet the colporteur, but
this time as an ordained Christian
minister. Telling his story, he said,
“It was the reading of your books
that did it.”
Yes, the Bible is a book that
changes things and it changes
people. Victor Hugo once said,
“England has two books, one which
she made and the other which made
her-Shakespeare and the Bible.”
Wherever the Bible has gone it
has changed civilization by changing people. Why is this?
If you want to start life over, if
you want a new birth, then read
the Bible, believe the Bible, obey
the Bible. It is the living Word of
God. Faith will grow in your heart.
You will see that the Bible reveals
a man, the Man, Christ Jesus, from
Genesis to Revelation.
If you will accept Him, the living word of God, as your atoning
sacrifice, as your Saviour and Lord,
you will find salvation here and
now. You will have joy here and
the certainty of everlasting life on
the world to come.

““Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up
their cross daily and follow me.”
Luke 9:23 NIV
The Radical Nature of Faith
The story of Abraham is often told as an example of the radical nature of
faith. Abraham accepted on faith that his wife Sarah would give birth to
a child in her nineties, and then after this actually happened, he accepted
on faith that God required him to sacrifice this very son, Isaac. God
relented of this demand after seeing Abraham’s willingness to do so, but
the philosopher Kierkegaard wondered what effect this whole experience
must have had on Abraham. Can we go through such experiences and not
be radically altered? Look at any of the Old Testament prophets and you
see how radical faith can be. Isaiah went barefoot and naked for three years
as a prophetic gesture. Hosea married a harlot in order to show how God
was similarly yoked to the unfaithful people of Israel. Jesus’s message must
have been extremely radical in his day, enough for it to get him executed.
The early Christians practiced their faith in secret because they too were
in danger of being executed for it. Faith can be comforting, but if all it does
is let you sleep well at night, then perhaps you aren’t taking it far enough.
As David Platt says in the book Radical, “I could not help but think that
somewhere along the way we had missed what was radical about our faith
and replaced it with what is comfortable.” Consider whether you have
made an idol of comfort and have in the process watered down your faith.

cancer, which he fought honorably
for many years.
This cowboy blazed new trails
as he entered this “land of the free
and home of the brave” on Nov.
30, 1957, in Gassaway: a son of
his proud folks, Junior Franklin
Brown and Carol Drennon Brown.
His kind-hearted cowboy spirit
will live on forever in the hearts
of his kin-folk: former spouse
and close friend, Marie Dawson
of Weston; two children, Ronald
Brown, Bill Brown and his cowgirl,
Amber, of Texas; one step-daughter, Mariah Broom of Texas; nine
little buckaroo grandchildren; two
brothers, Edward Franklin “Bucky”
Brown and Perry Glen Brown, both
of Columbus Grove, Ohio; one
sister, Vivian Carol Brown of Fla.;
Lida Metheney, Noah Hensley and
Corey Moles, whom he loved as his
own grandchildren; and his loyal
sidekick and beloved Australian
Shepherd, Glory.
He will be reunited in Heaven
with his folks, and his brother, Toby
Glen Brown.
This cowboy knew how to wake
up early, meet the day head-on,
work hard, stand tall, and when he
fell and sometimes hard, he knew
how to stand up, brush off the dust
and get back in the saddle. He
gave a hand working in sawmills,
collected old Indian motorcycles,
tinkered in his man cave, went
fishing and hunting and watched
every cowboy movie known to
man, more than once. Although he
dreamed of living free on the open
range, sleeping under the star-filled
skies, he’s now watching over his
loved ones as a bright new star in
the skies of Heaven.
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.
This ole’ cowboy’s request for
cremation has been honored and
his family will have a private Celebratory Hoedown at a later date.
Expressions of sympathy may be
sent directly to the family at: 215
W. 7th Street, Weston, WV 26452.
The Pat Boyle Funeral Home
and Cremation Service, 144 Hackers Creek Road in Jane Lew, is
honored and privileged to serve
the family of Ricky Brown.
Online condolences may be
expressed at www.patboylefuneralhome.com. Welcome to Heaven
cowboy, your entry fees are paid.

20 Candidates Attend
Neighborhood Watch
It was “who’s who” in Lewis
County politics this election season
in attendance at the first regular
meeting of the new year of the
Weston Central Neighborhood
Watch, held last Wednesday evening at the Weston Fire Department.
All candidates for local and
regional offices had been invited to
attend a “meet the candidate” affair
and over 20 showed up to speak
before the group and to answer any
questions posed to them.
The meeting was opened by
President Betty Brooks, followed
by the recitation of the Pledge of
Allegiance. Brooks then introduced
other officers of the group that included Vice President Justin Roy
and Secretary Bill Brooks.
President Brooks reiterated the
purpose of the group, in that it
serves as a citizen’s aid to law enforcement. “Our job is to help them.
To serve as the ears and eyes of the
community and to report suspicious
activity or suspected crime,” she
said. The goal of the group is to
help create a safer community.
She introduced Weston Police
Chief Randy Posey, who spoke of
the importance of community in-
volvement and reporting suspected
crime. He stated that with the help
of the Neighborhood Watch groups,
that planning would soon get underway for the National Night Out
to be held at Lewis County Park
on Aug. 7.
Also introduced was Deputy
A.J. Hummel, who indicated he
was relatively new to the force
and to working with the Neighborhood Watch program, but said he
would be of assistance in any way
possible.
Next political candidates were
introduced one by one, with each
given three minutes to speak to
the group. Most gave biographical
type information, with perhaps the
most noteworthy comment coming
from candidate and current Lewis
County Commissioner Tom Fealy,
who reminded those in attendance
of the importance of voting. “Some
of you may recall that I once won
an election by one vote, so election turnout is important,” he said.
Fealy’s comments underscore the
importance of one vote in any
election.

Students Are Health Ambassadors
Twenty Five students from
Lewis County High School (LCHS)
received training to become health
ambassadors on Tuesday.
The Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital (SJMH) and 4-H
Health Ambassador Program is
funded by Walmart Youth Voice:
Youth Choice and is aimed at
creating and promoting healthy
lifestyles in Lewis County.
Kim Hawkins and Zeb Nottingham from the office of Healthy
Schools and SJMH Cardio Pulmonary Nurse Manager Kristi Gannon
helped train the 25 LCHS students.
After training, the teen ambassadors will now be able to deliver
healthy lifestyle activities to other
youth in the county. The students
can complete training with other
youth on topics like nutrition,
exercise and social skills. Ambassadors themselves learned leadership skills as well as teaching
techniques.
The ambassadors can deliver
training to other youth at 4-H
camps, after school programs and
other youth related activities. The
health ambassadors are required to
complete at least one six-hour training with other youth in grades 4-12.
The newly trained health ambassadors will also be provided with
the opportunity to participate in a
job shadowing event which will
be provided by SJMH during the
month of April. Students participating in the program have picked a
profession and SJMH Assistant
CEO Kevin Stalnaker will be pairing each student with an employee
from the hospital based upon their

students statewide who participate
in the program which is provided
by the WVU Extension Services
and the West Virginia After School
Network. The program is new in
2016 with LCHS students being
at the forefront along with students
from a handful of other counties.
The goal of the program is to reach
4,000 youths statewide.

Farm Families
The State of West Virginia will
forever be indebted to the pioneer
families who sacrificed to create
farms from the daunting wilderness, producing the products so
essential to the existence of the
state’s residents.
Today, descendants of many
of these first families continue to
produce food on the same land as
their forefathers, contributing significantly to the state’s economy.
West Virginia is further indebted
to the generations of farm families
who have maintained the farms
throughout the centuries following those original agricultural
enterprises.

Student Registration Is Benefit Meal
Lowered for Weston 5K To Aid Man
When organizers of the Weston
5K Run and Wellness Walk planned
the first event in 2008, the goal was
to encourage people to appreciate
the joy of physical fitness. There
have been some great successes
with several racers who began their
fitness road that first year and are
still staying fit. Last year about 230
people registered for the event.
Saint Patrick Church/School,
Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital (SJMH) and the city of Weston
have cooperated on the event since

This year race sponsors are again
making an effort to pickup more
sponsors so that Lewis County
students grades K through 12 can
have scholarships for the race.
Several area businesses have
signed up to sponsor the scholarships. With the help of the sponsors,
Weston students will only have to
pay $3 to pre-register for the race.
The hope is that lowering the
registration for students will help
more of them become involve.
Organizers also want students to
enjoy the benefits, which accompany great exercise.
The registration form can be
found at www.stonewallhospital.

Members of the Weston Planning Commission, together with
members of the West Virginia University Law School, will be having
an open house on Wednesday, April
13, at 5:30 p.m. at Lewis County
High School.
The open house is a prelude to
the “Create Your State” event at
6:30 p.m. The scope of the open
house will be to introduce people
to the zoning plan, which is being
studied by the commission.
The zoning map created by the
Planning Commission, so far, will
show residents the scope of the
plan. The commission encourages
all residents to attend the meeting
to find out more about the project.
The building inspector said,
“I have been attending the Planning Commission meetings and
want the public to know that this
is their opportunity to make input
into the whole plan.” “WVU has
provided us with so much of their
experience on this that we have
the best examples in W.Va. to use
for our plan.”
The Weston Planning Commission created a Comprehensive
Plan, with the help of the WVU
Law School in 2014 as mandated
by state law. This plan is a prelude
to the possible implementation of

“Virtual Jazz Club”
To Open April 22
The Weston-based West Virginia Jazz Society (WVJS) has
always wanted to open a nightclub
of its own. They envisioned a place
where the focus is on the music
and each seat has clear sight lines
to the stage in a comfortable, stylish environment with high quality
food and drink.
On Friday, April 22, area jazz
fans can experience the WVJS
dream fulfilled when “a virtual jazz
nightclub” presents its first show in
a Clarksburg meeting hall.
‘Got Jazz’ is set to open at 6
p.m. in the Uptown Events Center,
a former YWCA on Washington
Avenue in Clarksburg’s business
district.
The D.C. All Stars, a jazz quintet
from Washington, D.C. will be the
featured entertainment. ‘Got Jazz’
will offer a ‘small plates tapas’
menu designed by Bridgeport
restaurateur Scott Duarte of Mia
Margherita’s.
The WVJS plan is to transform
the first floor of the Uptown Events
Center into a traditional jazz nightclub through lighting, drapery treatment, décor and table placement. A
stage and stage lighting will also be
installed to create an environment
that is as close to the real thing as
possible.
“We believe the most important
part of presenting live music and
great dining in a comfortable environment is keeping the focus on
quality,” said WVJS President Eric
Spelsberg. “We are working with
professional partners to achieve
some dramatic results for ‘Got Jazz’
when it opens.”
The music is sponsored by
the Clarksburg Harrison Cultural
Foundation’s (CHCF) Barbara
Highland Fund, which supports
high quality cultural presentations
in Harrison County. Net proceeds
from ticket sales will go towards
funding a CHCF grant program for
community nonprofits.
The D.C. All Stars will play
from 7:30-9:30 p.m. not counting
encores. They will be led by Chuck
Redd, internationally acclaimed
vibraphonist and drummer, and
Marshall Keys, top rated saxophone
player in the Baltimore/Washington
metro area. They will be joined by
Tommy Cecil on bass, Robert Redd
on piano and Vince Lewis on guitar,
each a popular East Coast session

with their own bands in top clubs around the world. This will be
the first time all have played together in one ensemble, a debut for
Clarksburg’s jazz scene.”

PICKS OF THE WEEK
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” (PG-13) -- Surely, you’ve
heard of this one. A talented young
loner on a desert planet finds an
adorable robot who provides a
call-to-action, pulling our hero
into the mix with an evil empire,
plucky rebels and swaggering
space pilots. Yes, after Luke
Skywalker and the rebels defeated
the empire, a new one called The
First Order cropped up, fronted
by a new lightsaber-wielding,
mask-wearing, mouth-breathing
menace. But it’s not the plot that
matters so much, it’s the expert
execution in this reboot of the
beloved space opera.
JJ Abrams (the new “Star Trek”
movies, “Super 8”) does a fantastic
job of reviving old fantasies and
planting new ones. Advances in
cinema technology are deftly used
to blend settings with effects and
make action sequences that are
more than just flashing colors and
comedic timing. Gone is the foul
taste of the wretched prequels
(OK, lukewarm, at best) from the
past decade. New heroes (Daisy
Ridley, John Boyega and Oscar
Isaac) fight alongside old favorites,
and the excitement is hard to resist
-- Han Solo is back, and it’s not
just a cameo!
“Tumbledown” (R) -- After
losing her visionary singer-songwriter husband, Hannah (Rebecca
Hall) settles into a quiet Maine
town and tends to his legacy. She
initially fights against the intrusion of Andrew (Jason Sudeikis),
a New York pop-culture professor interested in writing his own
take on Hannah’s revered late
husband. She later realizes that
Andrew’s just the guy she needs
to help her write the biography
her late husband deserves, which
of course leads to a romance that
builds while Hannah learns to live
with her grief.
It’s a charming debut for
director Sean Mewshaw. Hall
and Sudeikis find the right tone,
triangulating with the film’s sense
of sadness, comedy and grownup
flirtation. Hall is particularly
strong as the lead with the most
baggage, while Sudeikis gets to
deploy his smarm and quips depicting a wise-mouth New Yorker
who’s actually a good guy in there.

Box Tops, 25 Points for Education,

The health motivator talked
about March being National Nutrition Month.
The month also includes National Pancake, Pig, Awkward
Moments and Goof Off Days.
Members were encouraged to
eat more fruits and vegetables and
several examples were mentioned.
The group did exercises pretending
to be a flower bursting from it’s
seed and growing into a full bloom.
The lesson “How Glass is Molded in West Virginia” was reviewed.
Members learned about how the
first glass factory were established
in Weston in 1902. There have been
30 factories in the Weston and Jane
Lew areas and at one time Weston
produced 52 percent of the U.S.
stemware.
Marion Riffle, club member,
had a horseshoe pins and magnets
that she made from plastic canvas
for the festival.
After the meeting refreshments
were served by Connie Bleigh, Jean
O’Dell and Linda Clutter.
The next club meeting will be
held April 15, at 7 p.m. All are
welcome to attend.

Wars: The Force Awakens.”

“The Hallow” (R) -- A young
couple and their newborn babe find
a sweet country home in a deep
green corner of Ireland while the
husband (Joseph Mawle) surveys
the land for a logging company.
The ancient deep forest happens to
be home to a host of legends about
sprites and banshees -- enough to
keep the antsy locals from taking
a walk in the woods. With dense
atmosphere, rooted performances
and awesome non-CGI effects, this
director-debut horror could have
been stark nightmare fuel ... if
only it didn’t rely on its creatures
so much.
“Mojave” (R) -- Ever wanted
to read a script from a writer who
just had to show off and resisted
every “no” heard along the way?
Well, don’t bother reading the
script -- see the movie, where
the actors shout their overcooked
lines right at each other! William
Monahan (best known for writing “The Departed”) writes and
directs this rambling thriller about
a dreamy, successful Hollywood
creative (Garrett Hedlund) who
wanders in the desert and gets
caught in the crosshairs of a genius
psycho stalker (Oscar Isaac) who
uses SAT vocabulary words in
regular speech but also ends every
sentence with “brother.”

The Lewis County Mountaineer
Youth Football (LCMYF) league is
sponsoring a summer raffle with
some great family prizes.
The winning ticket holder will
have his choice of a one-week vacation for a family of four to Pigeon
Forge, Tenn.; Myrtle Beach, S.C.;
or Virginia Beach, Va.
If a vacation is not what you
need, as the winner, you may choose
a $1,000 cash option.
Second prize is a season pass
for a family of four to the Lewis
County Park. Third prize is 10
single-day passes to the LC Park.
All tickets are $10.
Through the group’s fundraising, they were already able to
purchase new safety equipment
and jerseys for the PeeWee and
Midget teams.
However, because of league
changes, there will no longer be
flag teams in Lewis County. The
kids who played flag in the past
will now play tackle.
This change means the association will have to purchase all new
helmets, pads, uniforms and other
safety gear for the new “Mighty
Might” players.
There are also plans to revamp
the uniforms for all the cheerleading squads as well.
“Moving from flag to tackle is a
big change for our league and with
that change comes new responsibilities to our players and a fairly
hefty price tag.
We cannot move forward without the help of our community,”
said Brianne Warner, LCMYF
fundraising coordinator. “This
league and our youth depend on
the generosity of the good folks in
Lewis County.”

The 2016 Lewis County Maids
softball team opened their season
with a home contest on Monday,
March 21 against the Braxton
County Lady Eagles.
Braxton County struck early
when they tallied two first inning
runs and took a 2-0 lead.
Braxton County added to that
lead when they scored four more
runs in the second inning to make
the score 6-0. The Maids finally
got on the board in the third inning
when they were able to push a run
across the plate.
Alexis Hudson led off the inning
with a double down the right field
line and went to third base on a wild
pitch. Hudson scored on an RBI
groundout by Paije Bragg to make
the score 6-1 after three complete
innings of play. The two teams
played scoreless baseball for the
next three innings when the Lady
Eagles scored two more runs and
made the score 8-1 in favor of the
visitors.
Lewis County, in the home half
of the sixth inning, looked to have
the makings of a huge inning when

In a Pinch
There are those among us who
start thinking about pitchers and
catchers as soon as the last out is
recorded at the end of the World
Series. I used to be one of those
people, but then life happens and
you’ve got other things to worry
about. Besides, so many people
don’t understand spring training.
I was listening the other day to a
spring-training game between the
Phillies and Yankees. At one point,
C.C. Sabathia faced Ryan Howard.
One of the announcers remarked
that this would have been a very
compelling matchup a decade or
so ago. The color announcer readily agreed. Another batter came to
the plate, he too was a veteran guy.
“He’s just struggling to make the
roster ... he’s been willing to travel to
far away games ... it’s tough.”
“Yeah, it really is,” chimed the
color announcer. “He almost wants
to be cut now so he can maybe catch
on with another team.”
Now do you see what I mean
about baseball in spring? It’s not
about hope springing eternal ...
men: Sydney Fikes, Alexis Hudson,
Paije Bragg and Emily Hellems.
Freshman rounding out the roster are Tiffany Curtis, Bella Posey,
Maddie Turner and Abby Hall.
Every one of the girls has been
working hard every day in practice and some of them have been
playing nonstop since last season
on multiple summer and fall ball
teams, they are looking to improve
and grow throughout the season.

open up their stance and slap at the
ball like Punch and Judy.

Big Cat finally should have all the
information needed to move on
with a project. If not, maybe you’ll
want to give everything a new and
more thorough check before trying
to move on.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Too much emotional pain
caused by someone you can’t win
over as a friend? Then stop trying
to do so. You have other things you
need to work on this week. Go to
it, and good luck.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) It’s a good time to reassess
where and how your strengths can
help you build, and where your
weaknesses can hinder you. Remember to build on your strongest
foundation.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) That personal matter
that seemed so hard to deal with
should be less confusing now. Don’t
rush. Let things happen easily,
without the risk of creating even
more puzzlement.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) Change continues
to be a strong factor in many important areas. Keep on top of them,
and you won’t have to worry about
losing control. A personal situation
takes on a new look.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) A business offer sounds
intriguing. But if you don’t check
it out thoroughly, you could have
problems. Take a set of questions
with you when you attend your
next meeting.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Your self-confidence
should be coming back. That’s good
news. But it might be a bit over
the top right now, so best to let it
settle down before you start making
expensive decisions.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) Your life, your decisions. Good
enough. But be sure you have all
the facts you need to put into the
decision-maker mixing bowl and
hope it will come out as it should.
Born this week: You find much
of your creativity with new people
who give you much to think about.

BARARA WATSON, CHARLA BARRETT
Rotary Hears About
June 4 Relay for Life
By EILEEN BILLETER
Two Lewis County Relay for
Life Team Leaders, Barbara Watson
and Charla Barrett spoke to Rotary,
Wednesday, March 16.
Both women are from Weston
and have worked together for five
years as volunteer team leaders for
the “Almost a Hit” Relay for Life
team. Their husbands are also active
with the team. Anyone can join the
committee to help with the event.
Watson graduated from L C
HIgh School, and played varsity
basketball while there on a winning
team. She attended WV Business
College and served as a medical
secretary for Stonewall Jackson
Memorial Hospital doctors. Then
she became an ECP (external
counter pulsation) therapy technician. ECP trains the heart to pulsate
stronger and harder. She worked
with Dr. Sabah for 7 years. She is
now an assistant manager at a retail
store. After her children grew up,
she spent a couple of years traveling
from Michigan to Lusianna with
her truck driver husband.
Charla Barrett attended Fairmont State and graduated from
W.V. Northern Community College
in Wheeling. She was a respiratory
therapist at UHC for eight years.
Then she worked in the sleep
lab and became a clinical sleep
educator.
Her job is to work on events
for Relay
Relay for Life involves teams
of participants who will take turns
walking or running around the
track Saturday, June 4, at Robert
L. Bland Middle School from
3 p.m. to midnight. Relay is recruiting individuals, businesses,
churches and groups of all types
to take part in the Relay and/or to
form teams to participate. To get
information on teams go to relayforlife.org/lewiswv or call Kim

Thayer 394-853-2135 or email at
[email protected].
Non-registered participants are
invited and welcome to come to
all or part of the event.
The theme for this year’s Relay
is Racing for Hope - Down the
Road to Recovery. The field will
be alive with fun, games, music,
auction, theme laps and different
team activities to raise money for
research programs, getting patients
to treatments, lodging for patients
and caregivers, providing information to people facing cancer and
much more.
Survivors will be celebrated as
they complete the first lap at 6 p.m.
Golf carts decorated like race cars
will be utilized.That will be followed by a caregivers’ second lap
and a sponsors’ third lap.
Those who lost their lives to
cancer will be honored and remembered. Luminaria can be purchased
to pay tribute to loved ones and
help fight cancer. The cost is $5
for a white bag to remember, honor
or appreciate. This year they have
added an angel bag that is purple
with angel wings and a Halo for a
$10 donation. Dedicate a Luminaria
on line at relayforlife.org/lewiswv
or call Luanna King at 304-8418640 or email at luannaking@aol.

teams and 90 participants. Relay
started in 1995. Fifteen countries
have Relay today.
Many local businesses have
fundraisers for Relay. Many corporations are sponsors and make
contributions. Anyone who would
like to make a tax-deductible
donation can contact Watson at
304-517-0699.

a hope ball for Relay that sells for
$22.50. The business gives $10.50
to Relay.

card that collects 20 punches between now and the end of the year.
Wendy’s in Weston has an April

receipts go to relay. Music will be

Any LCHS students who help
in anyway with the event will get
community service for their efforts.
Relay has become a worldwide
movement to end cancer.
It is celebrated in more than
5,000 communities worldwide.
Last year Lewis County Relay
raised $46,186 for the American
Cancer Society. These monies
make available many programs
and services.
“Road to Recovery” volunteers
drive patients to chemotherapy, radiation treatments surgery or initial
treatment consultations. They gave
people 16,000 rides last year.
Relay pays for wigs and items
people have to have when going
through chemotherapy.
The Look Good…Feel Better program conducts workshops
with trained cosmetologists giving
instruction on how to use skin care
and make-up to enhance appearances as well as demonstrations on
how to use wigs, turbans, scarves
and hats. Patients undergoing
chemotherapy or radiation treatment each receive a kit containing
skin care and make-up products
that have been donated by various
cosmetics companies.
Breast cancer patients or women
who have had a lumpectomy, mastectomy or recurrence will get a
one-on-one visitation by a chosen
and trained breast cancer survivor.
Each patient gets a kit containing
a leisure bra, a soft prosthesis for
mastectomy patients, exercise support, literature and local resource
information.
The Cancer Resource Center
is partnered with the American
Cancer Society and funds raised
through Relay make it possible for
patients to find resources to help
them. Free wigs, hats, scarves and
turbans are available to those in
need of them.
Thirty-one free American Cancer Society Hope Lodges in the
U.S. offer cancer guests a place to
stay for treatment when in a city
far away from home. Every Hope
Lodge has a varitey of resources
and information about cancer and
how to fight it.
A support 24/7/365 toll free
number (800) 227-2345 is staffed
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365
days a year to offer support and
guidance. Their website www.cancer.org offers the most up-to-date
cancer information.
The Purple Rain Fair, which is a
craft/ vendor/car show with games
for kids and a pretty baby contest
will be May 4 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The Rotary Club will meet at
the Lewis County Senior Center to
serve and deliver lunches on March
23. All Rotarians are asked to be at
the center at 10:45 a.m.
The Weston Rotary Blood
Screening will be April 2 and April
9 at Sonewall Jackson Memorial
Hospital from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m.

the community. We have been assured the screening will be starting
promptly at 7 a.m.

Street in Buckhannon.
A beginner’s meeting will be

There are but five Nar-Anon

respect the anonymity of all those
who participate.

Meals on Wheels
Is Celebrated
Many members of the community have pitched in to help out in
honor of the 2016 March for Meals
annual Community Champions
Week.
Across the country this week,
Meals on Wheels programs have
enlisted elected officials, local
celebrities and other prominent
figures to deliver meals, speak out
for seniors and raise awareness for
the power of Meals on Wheels.
“Community Champions in
Lewis County are delivering meals
all month to homebound elderly.
These folks have seen firsthand how
important a hot nutritious meal is
to these folks. Also, deliverers are
extremely important in that they
are a smiling face that checks on
their well being,” stated Director
Dinah Mills.
Since 2002, Meals on Wheels
America has led the March for
Meals in an effort to fill the gap
between the seniors served and
those in need that is widening due
to increased demand with a rapidly aging population combined
with declining public and private
resources and rising food, transportation and operational costs.
This March, hundreds of local
Meals on Wheels programs, like the
senior center, will reach out to their
communities to build the support
that will enable them to deliver
nutritious meals, friendly visits and
safety checks to America’s seniors
all year long.
“More than ever, we must join
forces, local Meals on Wheels
programs, governments, businesses
and concerned individuals, to meet
the needs of the fastest growing
population in America who want to
be able to live at home for as long
as they can,” said Meals on Wheels
America President and CEO Ellie
Hollander.
“It not only makes economic
sense to enable seniors to stay
healthy and safe at home, but it
improves the health and vibrancy
of our communities and our nation
at large.”
For more information on how to
volunteer, contribute or speak out
for the seniors in Lewis County
and across the country, visit www.
marchformeals.com.
Over a hundred meals are delivered Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday
and Friday in Lewis County. Eligible participants must be 60 years
of age or older and homebound. If
you or someone you know could
use a home delivered meal please
contact Karen Balentine, nutrition
supervisor at (304)-269-5738.
Also volunteers are needed to
deliver meals on these days. Those
who would be willing to deliver one
day per week or more can contact
Balentine.
Meals on Wheels America is the
oldest and largest national organization supporting the more than
5,000 community-based senior
nutrition programs across the country that are dedicated to addressing
senior hunger and isolation.
This network exists in virtually
every community in America and,
along with more than two million
volunteers, delivers the nutritious
meals, friendly visits and safety
checks that enable America’s seniors to live nourished lives with
independence and dignity.
By providing funding, leadership, research, education and advocacy support, Meals on Wheels
America empowers its local member programs to strengthen their
communities, one senior at a time.
