Council Takes Up
Pensions, Snow
Problems with the police and
firemen pension funds and the recent snowstorm were the dominate
topics at the regular meeting of
the Weston City Council held on
Monday evening.
The pension problems are complex but basically revolve around
the failure of city finance managers
over the years to provide proper
documentation and funds to the
state Municipal Pensions Oversight
Board (MPOB) . There are several
requirements that must be met in
order for the city to receive state
matching funds to shore up the
plans and make them viable.
Speaking before the Council,
Blair Taylor with the MPOB,
informed the council of a number
of steps the city must take in order
to receive state matching funds,
including payment to the MPOB of
approximately $5,000 by Feb. 29.
The information provided by
Taylor at the council meeting was
the result of a review conducted by
the MPOB of city records, including payroll and council meeting
minutes. A problem mentioned by
Taylor was that the city finance
manager was not having the proper
amount of employee contributions
to the pension plans withheld from
paychecks, resulting in the city not
submitting enough money.
The problems with the pension
plans underscore the need for the
city to employ a capable finance
Feb. 5 Declared
Jack Rollins Day
On Monday, the Lewis County
Commission moved to declare February 5, 2015 as Jack Rollins Day in
celebration of the young superhero
who is battling cancer. Jack will
be turning five years old on friday.
The Lewis County Commission is
encouraging all schools, businesses
and officials throughout the county
to get involved in the celebration.
Citizens are encouraged to wear
T-shirts of their favorite superheroes, send birthday cards and well
wishes to Jack and to donate to or
participate in fundraisers benefitting Jack and the Rollins family.
Jack has been battling neuroblastoma since December 2013.
His love for superheroes and his
ongoing hard fought battle with
neuroblastoma is an inspiration to

manager after the council chose in
January to terminate Michelle Allen, who held that post. However,
nothing was on the meeting agenda
Monday night to vote to advertise or
fill the position. Council members
did learn that the city has enough
money to meet payroll but that
several outstanding bills, some dating back to 2014, need to be paid.
Several members from the public appeared before the council to
express appreciation with efforts
by the city street department with
snow removal efforts following the
recent storm, but not without some
concerns expressed. Bob Golden
told members of the council they
needed to get better snow removal
equipment for the street department employees. He praised the
efforts of the department but said
they need something to work with.
John Goodwin suggested a need
for a four-wheel drive vehicle for
the fire department so they could
get to people in need during such
storms, and he sparred a bit with

7 Persons
Are Facing
Drug Charge
On Monday, officers of the Lewis County Sheriff’s Department
executed multiple drug-related
arrest warrants. Seven individuals
have charges pending against them
as a result of the round-up.
The charges against the seven
range from delivery of a controlled
substance to possession. The illegal
drugs that were either delivered or
possessed by the defendants included heroin, methamphetamine,
hydrocodone and marijuana.
Those facing charges include
Samuel “Sam” Duke, David “Pac
Man” Ratliff, Sonya Rogers,
Shawna Gibson, Richard “Dillon”
Heimbach, James “Brian” Stout
and Devan McCoy.
On the sweep, Lewis County
Sheriff Adam M. Gissy said, “Monday’s arrests reflect a continuance
of the efforts law enforcement has
made over the past several months
in combating illicit drugs in the
county.”
Gissy urged citizens with
knowledge or speculation about
illegal drug activity to call the confidential tipline at 304-269-9112.
The Weston Democrat will have
more information on the arrests in
next week’s edition.
Southwestern Energy in Jane Lew has informed the county commission that they will be conducting a reduction in workforce. A total
of 97 employees are expected to be separated from employment at
Southwestern Energy by March 22.
In accordance with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN), Southwestern
Energy notified the county of the
reduction in force. The notification
states that the reduction includes
field employees who report to or
receive instruction from the Jane
Lew facility.
Southwestern Energy also
reports that the reduction in work
force is expected to be permanent.
The commission expressed their
concerns for the families impacted
and stated that they would do
everything in their power to help
those affected.

passed the inspection and received
no deficits.
Supervisor of Animal Services
for the Lewis-Upshur Animal Control Facility Jan L. Cochran reports
that five percent of dogs and 36
percent of the cats that were brought
in to the facility were euthanized.
Cochran says that pet owners taking
the responsibility for their animals
by putting identification tags on
their pets, confining their animals
to their own property and having
their pets spayed and neutered to
stop unwanted litters would further
reduce the number of euthanized
animals.
Cochran also wishes to thank
local animal organizations and rescue efforts. She went on to say that
“The shelter could not do as much
as we do without the help of local
animal organizations and rescue”.
The Lewis-Upshur Animal Control Facility currently has 16 dog
runs and 40 cat cages. The facility
employs two full time employees
and one part time employee. Currently, the facility has three cats and
three dogs available for adoption.

Plans Underway
For Mill Jubilee
Plans and preparations are
underway for the 2016 Jackson’s
Mill Jubilee to be held Labor Day
Weekend, Sept. 2-4.
Debora Garrett, president of the
Jubilee Committee, has announced
that the theme for the event is
“Remember When” and invites all
former participants and festivalgoers to attend this year’s event to
help celebrate the meaning of the
Jubilee and its beginnings some
42 years ago.
The Jubilee started back in 1974
as a gathering of artists, craftspeople and musicians, who came
together to demonstrate examples
of traditional Appalachian culture
and history in an entertaining as
well as educational manner.
Heritage crafts and music are the
focus of each Jubilee and more
than 100 artists and craftspeople
will again be exhibiting, demonstrating and selling, their wares at
the 2016 Jubilee.
Festival events will include a
pageant with the crowning of a King
and Queen, quilting and needlework exhibits and demonstrations,
displays of old tractors and cars,
pie-baking contests, children’s
story tellers, woodcarving demonstrations and a rock climbing wall
to name just a few.
Food at the Jubilee features
traditional Appalachian favorites,
from a host of vendors scattered
throughout the grounds or you can
enjoy a home cooked meal “just
like grandma used to make” served
sit-down style in the beautiful Mt.
Vernon Dining Hall.
Hundreds of musicians will
be providing entertainment at the

Jubilee, by way of on stage performances, which this year will
be returning to the old Livestock
Barn and additionally, musicians
and singers will be gathering
throughout each day and evening
for impromptu performances under
the shade trees and around picnic
tables outside the barn. Here they
will demonstrate and teach their
craft and techniques to budding
musicians who are eager to learn.
The Jubilee is held every Labor
Day weekend, at the West Virginia
State 4-H Campgrounds at Jackson’s Mill. This historic youth
facility, dates back to 1921, and
occupies the farm where Confederate Civil War General, Stonewall
Jackson, lived as a boy. A Civil War
reenactment and pioneer encampments provide Jubilee visitors with
a glimpse of Living History of the
regions life in the 18th and 19th
centuries.
Guests may tour the 200-yearold McWhorter cabin and the old
Jackson family gristmill, as well as
Blaker’s Mill, which was moved
to the site in 1985 and has been
restored to working order.
Over the past 42 years, the
Jubilee has truly become a family
tradition in North Central West
Virginia and many visitors return
to the Mountain State for this event
every year to create an end-ofsummer reunion atmosphere with
family and friends.

Eleven of the Republican candidates for
president gathered in Des Moines, Iowa,
last Thursday night for their seventh debate.
However, one candidate, Donald Trump, was
missing. Trump was angry at Fox News,
one of the two sponsors of the debate, and
he boycotted the affair. His absence had a
negative affect on the debate. It was not as
interesting as the six other debates.
Nevertheless the seven candidates in the
main event obviously enjoyed the event,
enjoyed it more than they would have if
Trump had been there and some of them
even mocked The Donald for being absent.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz gave a sarcastic
impression of Trump. “I’m a maniac and
everyone on this stage is stupid, fat and
ugly,” Cruz said. He then thanked the other
candidates for showing Iowa voters respect
by showing up. Trump held a rally elsewhere
in Des Moines to raise money for military
veterans.
The seven tried hard to take advantage
of Trump’s absence but Trump is one of
a kind and the debate was less interesting
without him.
The television coverage for the debate
began at 6 p.m. and continued until after
midnight. That’s a long time to watch politicians and listen to political commentary.
There ought to be a better way. It is likely
that a huge number of viewers went to sleep
before the coverage ended.
Was there a winner? None of the candidates appeared to deliver a knockout blow.
Obviously most of them tried.
The earlier debate, held two hours earlier
than the main event, featured the four candidates who didn’t have enough support to
be in the main event. Four candidates, Mike
Huckabee, Rick Santorum, Carly Fiorina,
and Jim Gilmore participated.
The debates are not on a par with Lincoln
and Douglas but they are informative and
interesting.

politics and Donald Trump — a

descend. The world we live in is a
fascinating place. Most of us are so
involved with our problems and the
struggle to survive that we never
find time to stop and look around
and appreciate the amazing wonders of nature.
We West Virginians are more
blessed than most in that we are
surrounded by nature and closer
to it than people in the majority of
our states. Some of us, even though
we were inconvenienced by the
huge snowfall, took a little time
to admire the beauty of Mother
Nature’s blanket of white that
descended onto us.

and some of the most enjoyable
days I remember are times when
we had big snows.
Most of the kids had sleds, of
course. We selected a hill with a
steep grade and turned it into a
sled slope. We built snowmen and
igloos. We had snowball fights. The
river was frozen over a great deal
and we skated on it — with shoes
on, not skates. Most kids then didn’t
have money for skates. We played
ice hockey but we didn’t have pucks
or hockey sticks. We used rocks and
sticks. But you know something:
we probably had just as much fun
as we would have had if we had
had hockey equipment.
Kids have imaginations. That’s
why they have so much fun. We
adults lose much of our imagination
when we grow up. When, during
the Great Depression years, kids
didn’t have toy guns they found
a stick or something that looked
like a pistol and played Cops and
Robbers. We didn’t need expensive
toy guns in order to play games. A
toy gun might cost a dime perhaps.
But most adults didn’t have a dime,
much less kids.
Today it amazes me to see the
expensive toys that kids in poor
families get for Christmas. I’m sure
I have written about this before.
Back in the 1930s if some kids
got a 10-cent toy pistol they were
overjoyed. Times sure change,
don’t they?
Amazingly, I believe children
back in the Great Depression years
probably had about as much fun as
the children today who have boxes
of expensive toys and goodies to
play with. Thank goodness for the
imagination that kids have. And
I suspect that it is the adults who
somehow maintain that imagination who are the ones who are
responsible for most of our inventions and new ideas.
These are some thoughts I have
as we reach the halfway point of the
winter of 2016. Yesterday, Tuesday,
was Groundhog Day and that signifies that winter is half over. I hope
I haven’t given readers the impression that I love winter. I don’t. But
there are ways of looking at things
what make them more palatable and
I suppose that is my intention today.
It will be spring in about six
weeks. West Virginians will be
treated to the glories of nature coming to life again here in the hills.
Surviving the unpleasant things in
winter helps us to appreciate the
wonders of spring more. Most of
us, when we take a little time to
shove our problems aside and appreciate the marvelous things our
world offers us, realize that we are
fortunate beings.
now is that, despite all his outsider
branding, he is not getting savaged
by the establishment. It is Trump
who calls him a hypocrite and a liar.
It is Trump who says he’s a nasty guy
and a maniac with a temperament

who constantly raises doubts about
his eligibility to serve as president.
If you guessed a key event in
the nomination fight would be the
“othering” of the most potent teaparty conservative in the country

the GOP race perfectly.
In short, Cruz is under assault
from a segment of the anti-establishment, although Cruz takes every opportunity to portray himself
as the victim of the machinations
of dastardly political insiders. The
reality is that the establishment
is sitting on its hands, agonizing
over whom it loathes least, Trump
or Cruz, while the fight between

Trump has a few long-running
themes and bugaboos, but has been
all over the map on almost everything and sometimes will meander
from one position to another within

his lack of ideological anchor (and

The Weston Democrat - Wednesday, February 3, 2016—A5
--- Letters to the Editor --Mental Health
Care Pushed
To the Editor,
Bishop Michael Bransfield’s
2011 pastoral letter, “Hearts Made
Whole,” urged more effective, caring responses on all levels of society for “those dealing with mental
health and addiction issues.” Since
that time many strides have been
made regarding behavioral health,
but one population of sufferers
needs much more done.
This past year the U.S. Dept.
of Justice wrote Gov. Tomblin
concluding that the state “fails to
provide services to children with
significant mental health conditions
in the most integrated settings appropriate to their needs.”
In 2012 a legislature-sponsored
WVU study on the behavioral
health needs of our state’s children
had as a major recommendation
“develop and implement a unified
statewide strategic plan to meet the
behavioral health needs of West
Virginia children and families.”
The researchers judged a hard
look at the current system “would
likely facilitate more efficient use
of resources, reduce the number of
out of state placements [of troubled
children] and promote improved
child and family outcomes.”
As our legislators strive to aid
the development of policies beneficial to our young people, it is critical
that changes to our system be well
thought out, developed by crosssystem public/private partnership
and be driven by the assessed needs
of children and youth.
Certainly criminalizing child
welfare and treatment is not the
correct path for West Virginia.
A collaborative strategic vision
to transform our system will lead
to greater efficiency, to support
of well-established entities with
proven experience in providing
mission-driven quality treatment

Right To Work Bill in Spotlight
By PHIL KABLER
FOR THE WEST VIRGINIA PRESS
ASSOCIATION
CHARLESTON - Legislation
to make West Virginia a “rightto-work” state (Senate Bill 1) and
to repeal the state’s 81-year-old
Prevailing Wage Act (House Bill
4005) remained in the spotlight in
the third week of the 2016 legislative session.
Meanwhile, new bills to allow
people to conceal-carry handguns
without state permits (HB4145),
and to allow exemptions to state
civil rights protections on religious
grounds (HB4012) were the subjects of public hearings.
The House of Delegates
Wednesday passed the prevailing
wage repeal bill on a 55-44 vote,
after more than 2 ½ hours of intense
debate.
Proponents of repeal contend the
current wage rates for construction
work on major state-funded projects - which were revised under a
law passed last year - continue to
be artificially inflated, benefiting
workers at the expense of taxpayers.
“Today, you will decide whether
to stand with the taxpayers, or with
the union bosses,” Delegate Eric
Householder, R-Berkeley, told
delegates before the vote.
Opponents, however, noted that
most local building contractors
strongly support the current system,
which assures they can hire quality workers, and not get underbid
by out-of-state contractors using
low-paid labor.
“The most important thing we
can do is assure the public gets an
excellent product,” said Delegate
Doug Reynolds, D-Cabell. A building contractor himself, Reynolds
said that in construction, the cheapest option is rarely the best option.
Meanwhile, Delegate Nancy
Guthrie, D-Kanawha, said debate
over prevailing wage was distracting the Legislature from addressing
the real problems facing the state,
including avoiding $120 million
of benefits cuts for public school
and state employees insured by
the Public Employees Insurance
Agency, as well as addressing
budget deficits in excess of $350
million in the current and upcoming
2016-17 state budgets.
“The point is, we need to be
dealing with the problems we have,
not the problems you want to create
because you don’t like unions,” she
told the House majority.
While previous votes on prevailing wage and on the companion
right-to-work bill had been mostly
along party lines, eight Republicans
joined the 36 House Democrats
in voting against the bill. It is
now awaiting consideration in the
Senate Government Organization
Committee.
The Senate previously passed
the right-to-work bill on a 17-16
vote. It advanced from the House
Judiciary Committee Friday and
will be up for a House vote next
week.
A day earlier, the committee
conducted a public hearing on the
bill, which would give employees
in union shops the ability to opt out
of paying union dues.
Opponents said the bill said it,
like the prevailing wage repeal, is
designed to weaken unions and
drive down wages in the state.
Sterling Ball, with the United
Food and Commercial Workers
Union, quoted from a speech Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. gave in
1961 opposing right-to-work: “It’s
purpose is to destroy labor unions
and the freedom of collective
bargaining. Wherever these laws
are passed, wages are lower, job
opportunities are fewer and there
are no civil rights.”
Supporters said right-to-work
would be an economic development tool, contending that many
companies won’t consider locating
in states that don’t have right-towork laws.
“We need to give our economic
development folks the tools that
they need to go out and get the
things that this state needs the most,
and that is jobs,” said Parween
Mascari, with the state Chamber
of Commerce.
Also Thursday, the House
Judiciary Committee heard from
supporters and opponents of a
bill called the Religious Freedom
Restoration Act.
The bill would provide exemptions to state civil rights laws for
persons exercising their religious
beliefs. Similar bills have been
introduced in several states in
response to the U.S. Supreme
Court decision legalizing same-sex
marriages.
Supporters say they should not
be forced by law to take actions
that are against their religious
faith, while opponents say it could
permit discrimination against the
LGBT community, women, and
other groups.
Several noted that a similar law
enacted in Indiana in 2015 resulted
in boycotts and cancellations costing the state about $60 million in
lost convention and tourism business before the law was modified
later that year.
A day earlier, the Judiciary Committee also had a public hearing
on legislation to allow persons to
conceal carry handguns without
having to obtain state permits.
Proponents of the bill said the
current law, with a $100 fee for
a five-year permit and required
background checks and gun safety
training, amounts to an unreasonable tax on their right to bear arms.
“This bill is about sheriffs taking
our rights from us and selling them
back to us,” said Keith Morgan,
president of the West Virginia
Citizens Defense League.
Opponents of the bill cited polls
showing overwhelming support for
keeping the current conceal carry
requirements.
“Obviously, HB4145 does
not represent the will of most
West Virginians,” said Dee Price
Childers, with the state chapter of
Moms Demand Action for Gun
Sense in America. “West Virginia
moms urge our delegates not to
put our families in harm’s way by
allowing untrained persons to carry
concealed loaded weapons in our
communities.”
House Judiciary advanced the
bill to the full House later that day
on a 17-6 vote.
A similar bill passed the Legislature by wide margins in both
houses last year, but was vetoed
by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, citing “overwhelming opposition”
from law enforcement agencies
statewide.

court action.
Harrison County Chief Deputy
Jeffrey J. McAtee said of the arrest,
“Mr. Starkey was in the upper levels
of a methamphetamine distribution
organization that spans several
counties in West Virginia and possibly multiple states. This case would
not have been possible if not for the
cooperation that exists between the
two sheriff’s departments.”
Sheriff Gissy said, “The arrest
was quite substantial as it relates
to drug distribution in our area.
Based on information gathered,
Mr. Starkey was distributing
several ounces of crystal methamphetamine weekly to people in the
community. Additionally, calculations show that the defendant was
profiting up to $30,000 per month
in illicit drug sells.”

SJMH Cardiac Staff Helping Patients
The staff at Stonewall Jackson
Memorial Hospital’s (SJMH)
Cardiac Rehab Department is dedicated to helping patients recover
from cardiac events. Not everyone
can get into the program - it takes
a special diagnosis to be a patient
there. Cardiac rehab patients must
have had a heart attack; heart condition; or a heart procedure such as
stinting, coronary bypass surgery,
valve replacement or implantation
of a pacemaker for acceptance into
the program.
The program is accredited and
patients who complete it are very
happy with the care they receive
from the very personable staff,
which includes Kristi Gannon,
George Butcher, Leslie Sprouse,
Susan Carpenter, Peggy Burkhammer, Erin Hunt and Tiffany
Lowther. The SJMH Cardiac Rehab
program provides education and
counseling services to help patients
increase physical fitness, reduce
cardiac symptoms, improve health
and reduce the risk of future heart
problems, including heart attack.
The SJMH program is held on the
ground floor of the Rt. 33 facility
and was started more than two
decades ago by nurse Jo Orvik.
The SJMH cardiac program
includes important components to
help the patient bounce back from
their life-changing experience.
Those components include:
> A medical evaluation to figure
out the patient’s needs and limitations. The medical staff uses this
information to tailor a rehabilitation
program for each patient.
> A physical activity program
tailored to his/her needs. The
heart rate and blood pressure are
monitored during physical activity.
The patient learns how to check
heart rate and levels (intensity)
of activity.
> Counseling and education
to help understand the patient’s
condition and how to manage it.
Counseling may also help cope
with depression, anger and stress
during recovery.
> Regular physical activity helps the heart and the rest of
the body which reduces the chances
of future heart problems, including heart attack.
> Counseling and education can
help a patient quit smoking, eat
right, lose weight and lower blood
in people with diabetes. That’s why
it’s important to start and continue
taking these medicines. They will
help to lower cholesterol and blood
pressure, which will decrease risk
of heart attack, stroke and kidney
disease.
The goal, if one is diabetic,
to have a HbA1c (glycosylated
hemoglobin) at or below 6.5 to 7
percent. If you have any questions

West Virginians can do their

and volunteer applications are now

Plan (REAP) program.
“Last year, 5,000 West Virginia
citizens took time to pick up unsightly trash along our streams and
public lands and we’re hoping for
another tremendous turnout this
year,” said REAP Director Sandy

Restaurant is closing. That is the
only place where folks can meet and

I am hoping that someone out
there will be inspired to bring back
a restaurant for all of us alumni who
return regularly and for some of the
town folk that will be without the
convenience of getting something
to eat without driving several miles.
Why couldn’t a franchise of
some sort be put in there? I think
of Mark and wonder where he
will get something warm to eat
on these winter days. I understand

and James and Tara Donnen. There
was not much choice of seating
because so many participants and
their supporters attended. There
was just about standing-room-only.
Each of the 30 teams had a judge
at their table to check their answers
and punch out one of three balloons
that were attached to their table,
one of which was busted if they
happened to get a wrong answer. If
they lost all three of their balloons,
they were out of the game (although
they could buy another balloon)
The program was well organized
and there were homemade cookies
and drinks for everyone.
The donations from this event
will go to the five umbrella groups:
Artistry on Main, Augusta Youth
Ballet, Buckhannon Chamber
Orchestra, Buckhannon Choral
society and Buckhannon Community Theatre. I was very proud of
our team who, although they didn’t
win, were among the top seven.
The winners were The Record
Delta team and that is as it should
be. The best spellers prepare our
local tri-weekly newspaper and
they represent the community well.
I hope many of you will support the
community by attending and donating to the Upshur Arts Alliance.

St. Paul's Slates
Pancake Supper
On Tuesday, Feb. 9, from 5-7
p.m. the men of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church will serve pancakes,
sausage and a beverage for only $5
per adult and $3 for children under
12 years of age.
The annual event, held at West
Hall, on East 2nd Street in Weston,
offers a good meal for a fantastic
deal. This tradition of Pancake or
Shrove Tuesday is open to the entire
community.
Shrove Tuesday, also known
as Pancake Tuesday, is celebrated
in some countries by consuming
pancakes proceeding Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. In some
History Day at The Legislature
locations, such as New Orleans,
the day is referred to as Mardi Gras
or Carnival Day, which is also the
last day of “fat eating” or gorging”
before the fasting period of Lenten
season.
Lent represents a period of
self-reflection in many Christian
Religions. Individuals participate
in a “fast,” which often emphasizes
eating plainer food and refraining
from food of pleasure, such as meat,
dairy products or eggs.
Pancake Tuesday became an
annual celebration and a way to
consume these products, before
their fast.

Every person is a unique individual with his or her own specific talents, desires
and sense of the world. Even identical twins reflect this truth, and although
they may appear to be identical at birth, it rapidly becomes evident that they
are not mirror images of each other, and as they grow they each carve out their
own personal identity. The task of becoming who we are is difficult because
we have the freedom and the ability to develop our talents within a fairly
broad range. We may be musically or athletically inclined, but neither of these
inclinations tells us which instrument or sport will be ideal for us. It is up to us
to choose. Likewise,our sense of the meaning and purpose of life —including
our overall worldview— can be satisfied with a variety of philosophies or
religions, and ultimately we have to choose which one fits us best. This task
of becoming who we are is thankfully a task to fill a lifetime. It will take most
of us our entire life to get it all figured out. The great American philosopher
and psychologist William James lamented late in his life that the great tragedy
of life was that when we’ve finally got it figured out, it’s just about over. But
isn’t that exactly what’s great about life? It’s big and grand enough to require
a long and full life to work it out, and even at the end, we’ll still be left with a
sense of wonder. – Christopher Simon

What is better for a Valentine’s
celebration than chocolate? Lots
of chocolate.
Dean Six, founder of Weston’s
Museum of American Glass, knew
that people would love to be treated
to a wide array of chocolate creations and thus began the Chocolate
and Lovers Feast to be held on
Saturday, Feb. 13, from 1-3 p.m.
at the Museum of American Glass
on Main Avenue in Weston.
Six explained that he was involved in a chocolate feast when
he lived in Cairo.
“There are only a few hundred
people in Cairo when we decided
to have a Valentine’s event and
what better way to celebrate the
day then chocolate,” said Six. “At
the museum we are making it a real
chocolate extravaganza in having
an all-you-can-eat chocolate feast.
Plus we are pretty happy of how
many people are donating. Sheila
Sayre and Faye Bell have done a
terrific job in organizing this feast.”
Sheila and Faye are no strangers
to donating their time to help revitalize Weston. They are members
of the Weston Fairs and Festivals
Committee, as is Six. They also
head up the annual Christmas and
spring decorating in downtown
Weston. So far the women have
enticed at least 40 different people
to bring their own chocolate treats
to the feast, including local bakers
Marian Jarrell and Kathy Boyle.
Chocolate-covered peanuts,
chocolate cookies, chocolate cakes,
chocolate cheesecakes and even
chocolate wines will be available
for the chocolate lovers. Each
contributor is bringing at least
two items which will be more than
enough for the visitors who only
need to pay $8 to indulge.
Advance tickets are available at
the New Image Beauty Salon on
Second Street in Weston. Interested
parties can call (304)-269-4761 for
information or to donate items. The
coordinators would like to know
who is donating by Feb. 1, so please
call them with contributions.

If you have scheduled an appointment recently with your family doctor, you know that it is hard
to get one for the next day, next
week or when it is convenient with
your schedule. The Lewis County
Health Department can provide
vaccinations for children that will
be either free, low cost or billed to
one’s insurance. There will be no
expense of the office visit copay.
Vaccinations are currently being administered on Monday and
Tuesdays between the hours of 8
a.m. to 3 p.m. If those days are
not convenient contact the health
department to schedule a visit.
The health department emphasis
is on preventative care; therefore,
children will have less risk of exposure to communicable diseases
when vaccinated.
Start early and avoid the rush
for immunizations that are required
for school. Preschool, 7th and 12th
grade students are required to
receive vaccinations prior to the
start of school.
Twelfth grade students that are
going to go into college may also
be required to show immunity to
certain diseases through blood
work called titers.
The health department offers
special pricing for this service
or one’s insurance can be billed.

Memorial Wall Damaged
Some time on Saturday, Jan. 30, the memorial wall around the
Jane Lew town sign on Hackers Creek Road was heavily damaged.
It is believed the wall was hit by a tractor trailer. The wall was recently dedicated in honor of the late Joe Lightburn. Mayor David
Cottrill is asking that anyone with information about the damage
or who might have seen a tractor trailer turning around near the
sign at Weatherford to contact 911.
Wear Red Friday,
Hospital Urges
For several years, Stonewall
Jackson Memorial Hospital
(SJMH) in Weston has participated
in Go Red For Women®.
The annual national event is
scheduled for the first Friday in
February. Both women and men are
encouraged to wear red as a way
to remind everyone the importance
of educating people, especially
women, about heart disease.
The statistics for women and
heart disease is surprising. Though
much information has been distributed about heart attack, the typical
symptoms apply to men. Many
times women have atypical heart
attack symptoms and many times
without any chest pain at all.
Our mothers, daughters, sisters
and friends are at risk. Heart disease and stroke cause one in three
deaths among women each year
- more than all cancers combined.
Fortunately, that statistic can be
changed because 80 percent of cardiac events can be prevented with
education and lifestyle changes.
The Go Red for Women movement encourages women to get
informed about the risks of heart
disease and stroke. Know the red
flags. Know one’s own heart health
story. Go Red For Women inspires

Ron McVaney, of the Mountaineer Military Museum, spoke to the
Rotary Club, Jan 27. He is a native
of North View, graduated from
Victory High School, got a degree
from Fairmont State, taught at WI,
and later worked for Lang Brothers and the Clarksburg Housing
Authority. He retired in 2002 and
started working on the museum.
He and his wife Barbara, who
is from Lewis County, have two
children and are the museum coowners.
Two of his buddies, Oakie and
Paul, did not make it back from
Vietnam and he promised to not let
them be forgotten. He said, “The
Military Museum belongs to the
community.”
They tried to start the museum
three times. They tried to start it in
Buckhannon, then they were going
to use the Civil War building at the
old hospital, and it was condemned.
Garry Rogers asked if he could
help. He lost a lot of his buddies in
the service. He and McVaney built
the museum.
They have a 50-year lease on
The Colored School on Center Ave.
in Weston with an option to renew.
McVaney said, “It’s here forever.”
Donation of pictures started
pouring in. They are getting 10 to 20
new pictures a week. They took the
center of the museum out and made
room for 500 more photos. He says
he has enough stuff for a second
museum the same size. They hang
photos of family members together
and everything keeps changing.
McVaney said they are getting
quality stuff.
Many people are ready to help
when the museum needs something
done. When they had to fill 107
sandbags, 15 people showed up to
help. “My problem is space,” said
McVaney.
RON McVANEY
There is nothing they actually
need at the museum now, but they
need time to get things done. Their
oldest picture is from the SpanishAmerican War. They also have
photos from the Civil War.
“You never know what you are
going to get,” said McVaney. They
have a cannon ball that had been
used as a shot put at Weston High
School.
Joe Rumbaugh brought in boot
stretchers from the Civil War.”
“We have a security system
now…Insurance is outrageous.”
said McVaney. The four neighbors
across the street watch the building
like hawks.
Their attorney Highland and
McMunn put a nice bench outside
the museum.
When their outside flags were
stolen people sent money to replace them.
Funding comes from sponsors,
the state Vietnam Association,
families, bikers, an annual yard
sale, etc.
“We have never had to scrape
up. We have never had to use our
money here,” said McVaney. “It has
been overwhelming. Everybody
goes overboard to help us.”

JAMES R. ATCHISON
Atchison
To Seek
House Seat
James R. Atchison has announced his candidacy for the
House of Delegates, 46th District
in the upcoming 2016 elections.
Atchison is a Republican candidate and this election makes
his second time running for this
position.
Atchison served in the U.S.
Navy and retired as a civilian
employee of the U.S. Air Force at
Wright Patterson Air Force Base in
Dayton, Ohio, where he also served
as director of the West Central Ohio
SBIR Center. He is also a former
city manager here in Weston.
He was born in Weston and is a
graduate of the former Weston High
School. He received a Bachelor of
Science Aeronautical Engineering Degree from West Virginia
Univeristy and earned his Master
of Business Degree from the University of Dayton.
Atchison is a widower after 56
years of marriage to Jacqueline
(Jackie) Atchison.
Together the couple had four
children, seven grandchildren and
two great-grandchildren.
Atchison said that he believes,
“it is time to bring in a person who
has served in the military and who
has a background in the executive
branches of federal, state and local
governments.”
The candidate also laments the
division between politicians and
their, “inability to move the state
forward.”
If elected, he hopes legislators
can, “create and ensure a shared and
sustainable future for the citizens.”
Atchison said, “whatever the
future may hold for me, you can rest
assured that I will dedicate myself
to the people of West Virginia.”

Improve to 8-6
The Lewis County Minutemen
varsity basketball team had a pair
of home games last week and
came out on top of both of them to
improve their record to 8-6 on the
season. The first of the two games
was played on Jan. 27 when they

The Bees took the early lead.
They outscored the Minutemen 1814 in the opening quarter of play. In
a low scoring second quarter, East
Fairmont outscored Lewis County
6-5 to take a 24-19 halftime lead.
The Bees added to that lead in the
third quarter as they outscored the
Minutemen 21-18 to give them a
lead of 45-37, heading into the final
quarter of play. The fourth quarter
belonged to Lewis County as they
outscored East Fairmont 31-14 in
the final quarter of play to take a

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
St. Valentine’s Day magic rules the
entire week for romantic Rams and
Ewes. Music, which is the food of
love, is also strong. The weekend
offers news both unexpected and
anticipated.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Your aspects favor the arts -- which
the Divine Bovine loves, loves,
loves. Also, for those looking for
romantic love, Cupid is available
for requests. After all, his mother,
Venus, rules your sign.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Loving commitments continue
to grow stronger. Ditto budding
relationships. A recent move to
help start up a new career-linked
direction soon could begin to show
signs of progress.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Single Moon Children might be
eager to take that proverbial chance
on love. But your more serious side
will feel better if you take things
slowly and give your moonstruck
self more time.

love fest for Leos and Leonas this
week. Paired Cats might expect
to be purr-fectly in sync. And
with matchmaking friends, single
Simbas searching for romance
shouldn’t have too far to look.
VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)
More understanding on both sides
can work miracles in restoring ailing relationships to health. Make
the first move, and you’ll be closer
to your much-wanted reunion.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)
Accept the fact that you are worthy of being loved, and you’ll find
proof in what is revealed to you
over the course of the week. Also
accept a compliment offered with
great sincerity.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov.
21) Planning to take a new direction in life is exciting. And so is
a new awareness of someone’s
special affection. Expect a slow
and mostly steady development of
the situation.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to
Dec. 21) Although you might still
feel you weren’t treated quite right
in a recent matter, all that will work
out in time. Meanwhile, enjoy
the week’s special qualities and
potentials.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan.
19) Deciding not to give up on a
troubling romantic situation helps
start the healing process. Expect
to find some valuable insight into
yourself as things move along.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb.
18) The week is filled with positive potentials, but it’s up to you to
make the right choices. The advice
of someone who truly cares for
you and your well-being can be
priceless.
PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)
It’s a good time to make yourself
available to possibilities of the romantic kind. Already paired? Good.
In that case, be sure to reassure that
special person of your feelings.
Born this week: Your generosity
gladdens the hearts of others, and
you bask in their joy.
