City annexation request denied

Cindy Rowan WESTON – For those residents wondering about the process of ballot counting for the upcoming Weston municipal election, the following information from the office of Lewis County Clerk Cynthia S. Rowan should clear up those questions and concerns.

According to Rowan, WV Code provides the following, “In elections using a paper ballot, the votes are counted in the polling places by the poll workers.

When the polls close at 7:30 p.m. and all of the election day paperwork is finished, then the same poll workers take the oath as a counting board. At this time, they will open all absentee envelopes and all early voting envelopes that have been furnished them by the Clerk’s office and place the ballots into the ballot box to be counted along with the election day ballots.

The two poll workers with the keys will open the locks on the ballot box. With one election commissioner watching, an election commissioner will reach in and bring out one ballot. He or she will read aloud the recipient of the vote for each contest. The poll clerks, each with their own tally sheet, will tabulate the votes as they are read. The ballot is then handed off to the other election commissioner to be strung as counted.

Once all ballots have been processed in this manner, then the poll clerks will add the votes for each contest. Their tally sheets need to match for each contest or that particular contest will need to be recounted.

LCHS baseball to compete for sectional title

By Wyatt Burns Sports correspondent

SUMMERSVILLE - The Lewis County High School Baseball team played in sectional tournament action over the week. The Minutemen have gone 2-1 over the week of action.

They started the week off on Tuesday against Roane County.

A big first inning propelled the Minutemen to an opening round home win. Will Hunt and Terran Allman handled the duties on the mound. They were supported by multiple hits from Allman and Luke White.

Lewis County then traveled to Nicholas County. Nicholas is the number one team in the section, but that didn’t bother the Minutemen, defeating

them 9-1.

Connor Johnson shoved it at Nicholas hitters, striking out seven in seven innings of work. The Minutemen picked up 15 hits during Thursday’s action. Chase Freeman, Levi Fox, Hunt, Allman, and Bozic all picked up multiple hits.

The Minutemen again returned to Summersville to play Nicholas on Saturday. Nicholas

bats were hot in this game.

The Minutemen allowed a run in almost every inning. Lewis County lost this game 7-1. The Minutemen struggled to create offense in the loss.

The Minutemen will have already played in the sectional championship on Tuesday by the time the paper is released.

This game will be covered in next week’s paper.

meet was also known as a state qualifier, the top three placers in each event were automatically advanced while the rest must hope for an at-large selection.

Both teams had placers in the top six. Each team had one six place finish, Adin Post placed sixth in the 100m, and the 4 x 100m relay team sixth for the girls. The 4 x 100 team was comprised of Kassi Wright,

Kaylin Pasquale, Abby Oldaker, and Olivia Krinov. Krinov did not place but qualified for the 100m. Krinov kept back at it and placed fourth in the 200 and helped the 4 x 200 team to fourth.

Oldaker, Pasquale and Wright helped comprise the rest of the team. Jacob Moore and Owen Spangler each get to run solo in the state meet with third place finishes, Moore in the 3200 and

Spangler in the 400m. The 4 x 400 boys relay team also placed third, Spangler, Post, Ethan Haught, and Cameron Lattea made up this team. Two boys relay teams placed second. The 4x 100 and 4x 200 relay teams.

Chase Beam, Lattea, and Post were on both teams, but Marshall Hobbs completed the fourth leg of the 4 x 100, while Spangler competed in the 4 x 200.

work hand in hand. I’m elected to represent all the people in the city and county, and I feel I should vote for what the majority want.”

“It’s been a really hard decision for me, too. I feel it’s going to be a detriment to the six volunteer fire departments in the county,” Commissioner Rod Wyman said.

“We can’t afford to have the fire departments in the rural areas close,” Commission President Agnes Queen stated.

“The rural areas will suffer.”

According to Commissioner Wyman, the application included errors regarding homestead exemptions.

The application included 714 resident homestead exemptions, meaning those residents would be exempt from paying the municipal fee. The actual number is 444.

It was noted in discussions during the commission meeting that city officials did not request a correction to the figures as posted in the application.

The motion to deny was made by Commissioner Wyman and seconded by Commissioner Boyle.

At Monday evening’s public hearing a majority of speakers were not in favor of the current proposed annexation, though several individuals made impassioned pleas in support of annexation.

Weston officials proposed

annexing an additional 135 acres and 64 businesses into the city by minor boundary adjustment as allowed under WV Code 8-6-5, which allows a governing body of the municipality may apply to the county commission of the county wherein the municipality or the major portion of the territory thereof, including the territory to be annexed, is located for permission to effect annexation by minor boundary adjustment.

In this case, Weston officials requested a minor boundary adjustment to include the area from Wendy’s to the area just east of Walmart and Market Place Plaza on both sides of Rt. 33.

Those speaking in favor of the annexation noted the services Weston provides to the community such as fire service and a law enforcement presence.

Former Weston City Councilman Jim Oldaker felt there was a disproportionate amount of funding for the amount of services that the Weston Volunteer Fire Department provides to the county as a whole.

Though the Weston VFD receives fire fee funds each year as does each department in the county, he feels those funds pale in comparison to the cost laid out by the city to operate the Weston VFD. David Bush spoke in support of annexation noting peo-

ple from outside the city limits use the streets and sidewalks the same as city residents and should step up to support upkeep of the infrastructure in some form or fashion.

Buckhannon mayor David McCauley and Buckhannon Councilman Robbie Skinner both spoke in support of the annexation noting how such minor boundary adjustments had helped Buckhannon grow and prosper over the years.

Several individuals said they were not against annexation per say but were against this particular annexation because they felt it was a forced issue rather than one they agreed with or had input into the decision-making process.

George Smith, of Big Chimney, a member of O.V. Smith and Sons, owners of the Market Place Plaza complex said he understood the city’s situation, but similarly understood the situations of the “mom and pops” working to make rent in the complex.

“We try to keep it as low as we can,” Smith said. “We are not opposed to annexation. We are opposed to the aggressive nature of this annexation.”

Jim Smith, also of O.V. Smith and Sons, noted that when he bought the complex there were only five tenants.

“We have good tenants,” J. Smith said. “Four or five of them are on shoestring budgets that may or may not make it.”

He noted he was against

the annexation and that with the added fees associated with the annexation at least two of the current businesses in the complex would not survive.

Another argument against annexation made by several individuals was the city had nothing to offer the businesses as an enticement to be part of the city.

Citizens and business owners pointed out they already have services such as water, sewer and garbage collection.

They could see no benefit to being part of the city, and felt the city was just making a “cash grab” to increase its tax base without offering anything new or take responsibility for anything new in the area.

Business owners also said they felt they were being signaled out to shoulder a majority of the increase in revenue through fees and taxes, though the city offered a break on the business and occupation tax for the first $1 million.

Several business owners in the proposed annexation area said they would have to raise their prices to consumers which would hurt their business and them.

Another argument made by a number of those against was not wanting the city to have a say in how they operated their business or property. Several people reported they chose to live outside city limits for just that reason.

WHEELING - U.S. Attorney Bill Powell recognized the service and sacrifice of federal, state, local, and tribal police officers on the occasion of National Police Week, which is being observed Sunday, May 12 to Saturday, May 18, 2019.

In October 1962, Congress enacted a joint resolution, which President Kennedy signed, declaring

May 15th as National Peace Officers Memorial Day to honor law enforcement officers killed or disabled in the line of duty. The resolution also created National Police Week as an annual tribute to law enforcement service and sacrifice.

“We honor all those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. Our law enforcement officers put themselves at

risk every day—for the rest of us. We honor them and their families this week and thank them for all of their sacrifices,” said Powell.

As a part of honoring law enforcement during this important week, the U.S. Attorney’s Office will attend the Wheeling Police Department’s Peace Officers Memorial Ceremony on Wednesday, May 15 at Wheeling’s Heritage Port.

According to statistics reported to the FBI, 106 law enforcement officers were killed in line-of-duty incidents in 2018. None of those deaths occurred in the Northern District of West Virginia.

Comprehensive data tables about these incidents and brief narratives describing the

fatal attacks are included in the sections of Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted, 2018 https://ucr. fbi.gov/leoka/2018/ released this week by the FBI. The names of all 106 fallen officers nationwide were formally dedicated on the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC, during the 31st Annual Candlelight Vigil on the evening of May 13, 2019.

The Candlelight Vigil is one of many commemorative events taking place in the nation’s capital during National Police Week 2019.

OBITUARIES

Linda Brannon Bates On the evening of April 28, 2019, Linda Brannon Bates, 78, passed away peacefully of natural causes at AdventHealth Hospital in Deland, Florida.

She was born Linda Brannon Williams in Decatur, Georgia at 2:30 a.m. on March 5, 1941. She was the first child of Martha Davis Williams and Robert Bryant Williams.

Linda graduated from Weston High School in May of 1959. Shortly thereafter, she moved to Baxley, Georgia and married Wilson B. Bates in 1960, with whom she had a daughter, Kelly. After her husband’s early death in 1964, Linda remained in Georgia, residing in Brunswick, St. Simon’s Island, and Savannah, and she raised Kelly. During the 1960s and 1970s, Linda trained as a clerk through the Manpower Development and Training Act of 1962, worked for the Georgia State Department of Education on St. Simon’s Island, and received certification to work at the Georgia Regional Hospital in Savannah. Linda returned to Weston in the early 1990s, where she helped raise her grandson, Zach Bates, after gaining custody of him in 1992. Linda was active in the community at the Weston Arbors. She left Weston in 2005 and spent the remainder of her life in Georgia and Florida. Her final year was spent living in Deland, Florida with her childhood friend, Mary Bennett (also of Weston).

Linda viewed life as a journey, one that had welcome twists and turns. One anecdote sums up her love of adventure and randomness: Shortly after coming into his grandmother’s custody, Zach walked to Suzie’s Video – there were such video rental places in those days – and called Linda (on a payphone – such things also used to exist) to see if he could get her permission to rent a “scary movie.” She decided to walk the third of a mile from the Weston Arbors to Garton Plaza, rent several movies, and then show her grandson her childhood home .

Est 6 199

on Brown Avenue. Linda then insisted on walking to Weston Central School and sharing several of her memories as a young girl in Weston. While Zach was somewhat reluctant at the time (after all, he had not signed up for a tour and only wanted to rent a movie), he has always remembered this day – perhaps because after walking “up the hill,” he was treated to pizza and many movies. This anecdote also reveals a few elements of Linda’s character: a love of walking and travel, a penchant for translating her life and experiences into exciting stories, a passion for horror movies, and a high level of spontaneity – all imparted to her grandson (for which he remains thankful, though he does not practice them nearly as well as she did).

Linda was preceded in death by her father, Robert Williams; her mother, Martha Roe; her sister, Carol Vann; her brother, John Williams; her husband, Wilson Bates; and her daughter, Kelly Anita Cowan.

Linda is survived by her sister, Cecilia Roe-Amos; her nephew, David Slaughter; her nieces, Sharon Slaughter-Strom and Stacey Foster; and her grandsons, Brandon Hendrix and Zach Bates.

Linda often served as a guide in her surviving family’s life journeys: Her wisdom and patience will be missed.

Though she spent the final years of her life in Georgia and Florida, Linda always considered Weston her spiritual home; and she treasured her memories of her childhood and later years in West Virginia.

Shirley Marie Foster Shirley Marie Foster, 75, of Horner, left her earthly body on Saturday, May 11, 2019 at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Buckhannon. She was surrounded by family and loved ones who will very much miss her brightly shining light.

She blessed this Earth and the lives of her parents on April 22, 1944 in Weston. She was a daughter of the late Everett Ross and Mary Letha Bott Hawkins.

On April 14, 1963, she married her best friend and the love of her life, Roger Dell Foster.

During their 56 joyful years of marriage, they enjoyed roller-skating, dancing and raising their two wonderful daughters.

Shirley is survived by her husband, Roger; two daughters: Arria Hines and husband, Michael, of Horner, and Cathy Cayton and husband, Bobby, of Morgantown; four grandchildren: Chase Kempinski, Danica Wilberger and husband, Adam, Abia Whiston, and Owen Cayton; and three siblings: Mary Helen McQuain and husband, James, of Alexandria, VA, Rella Grey Smith of Vandalia, WV, and Tom Hawkins and wife, Terri, of Jane Lew. Preceding Shirley in death were her parents and one brother, Ben Hawkins.

Shirley retired from Stonewall Jackson Resort where she worked her way from housekeeper to supervisor in the 20 years of her employment. She attended St. Matthew United Methodist Church and was a member of Vandalia United Methodist Church.

Shirley was a woman of grit and wit and a true matriarch of her family. She enjoyed tending to her garden and truly valued a clean and tidy house. She was an amazing cook known for her creamed tomatoes, which will be missed by all who were lucky enough to eat them. Shirley never missed a trick and loved a good sweet treat, especially her husband’s peanut butter fudge. She was a woman of determination and strong will whose opinion was always known and valued, especially when her coffee was too strong. Shirley was a one of a kind woman. Shirley had a strength that rarely wavered.

She was happiest when all of her family was together, even though she always said they were a bit too loud. It is hard to put so much personality into words. All those who were lucky enough to know Shirley

instantly felt the warmth of her heart but knew she was a force to be reckoned with.

The family greatly appreciates all the love and support during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers or food, donations may be made to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation – http://give.bcrf.org/ give/31404/#!/donation/checkout.

Crawford Byrd Hard working hands are laid to rest, and a golden heart has stopped as Crawford Byrd, 84, of Weston has gone home to Heaven. He left this world on May 10, 2019 from Stonewall Jackson Hospital in Weston.

He blessed this world and his family on Aug. 21, 1934 in Kershaw, SC, a son of the late Julius Baxter and Daisy Hunter Byrd. He lost his mother at the age of 3 but was blessed with the love of his step-mother, Kathryn Byrd, for the remainder of her life.

On Oct. 10, 1954, Crawford made his sweetheart his wife.

He and Alice Ann Butcher Byrd spent over 64 happy years in marriage.

Crawford bravely served in the Korean War as an Airman of United States Air Force and retired with 20 years of service to his country and fellow Americans. After his military retirement, Crawford was employed as a truck driver for Halliburton, Interstate Chemical and Worldwide Equipment.

He enjoyed being outdoors fishing and golfing in beautiful West Virginia, but his greatest joys came from spending time with his family. Crawford especially loved watching his granddaughters play softball.

The legacy of this hero is carried on by his wife, two children: Jeffrey Lynn Byrd and wife, Lisa, of Raleigh, NC, and Kristi Crook and husband, Larry, of Weston; two grandchildren:

Kaelye and Ashley Crook; one brother-in-law, Clyde Wallace of Laurinburg, NC; two nieces: Reca Boltin of Columbia, SC, and Michelle Oakley of Cheraw, SC; and one great-niece: Lela Oakley of Cheraw, SC. Crawford was preceded in death by his three parents and one sister, Mary Wallace.

At his request there will be a private family service before his cremation.

We, at Pat Boyle Funeral Home and Cremation Service located at 144 Hackers Creek Rd. in Jane Lew, appreciate the service and sacrifice of Crawford Byrd. It has been our honor and privilege to serve his family. Online condolences may be expressed at www.

Clise’s Cornucopia

By John Clise Editor Well, it seems my predictions of cool weather being over and warm weather being here for the summer were completely and totally wrong… again.

We had to close the windows at night. Mostly due to me needing it to be at 110 degrees to sleep comfortably, and Rebecca being my long-suffering wife. I would say most wives are long suffering in one way or another.

Maybe we’ll finally shake off winter once and for all and head into a wonderful summer.

My weekly fishing report includes one of fishing at Stonewall Jackson Lake and me catching two small blue gill. The hook was nearly bigger than one of the fish I caught. Still, it was fun. The fish were returned safely to the water.

Maybe this week, if I get a chance to cast out a line, I’ll catch the whopper I’ve been waiting to take a picture of before setting said fish free again.

I told my cat Felix if he was a dog, he’d be happy to go fishing with me. He didn’t seem terribly impressed with my assessment. I had a cat a few years back, Pete Rose.

He would have followed me to the fishing hole. You never know, though, maybe Felix will change his mind. I told him cats were supposed to like fish. And, who knows, maybe Pete Rose the Cat is waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge with a fishing pole and a tackle box.

Well, the orange barrels are up along the exit area of I-79 and Rt. 33. Work should be starting soon. I remember living in Indiana a while back. INDOT had seven miles of cones set up on State Route 67 for a solid two years and never did one ounce of work there except to replace the cones that got destroyed. I always thought that was odd. I am, like many others, looking forward to the new exit setup to I-79. Hopefully it will be much safer and much easier for drivers.

I always drive up Rt. 19 to Jane Lew or down Rt. 19 to exit 96 or 91 to get on interstate that way. It’s a little longer but it seems safer to me.

I’ve been walking a lot more lately. I have to tell you… it takes a lot out of a fella to walk more and more every day. The doctor says it’s good for me, so Rebecca has been strongly encouraging me to walk more. It’s difficult to say no. She is quite insistent on the matter of me walking more.

I can’t say I’m ready for a marathon or even a walk across town, but I’m getting there slowly but surely. I’d say if you see me laid on the sidewalk like a landed trout… bring water and call Rebecca.

In something completely against getting in shape, I’ve been thinking about what my favorite potato chip is. It turns out I have different favorite chips for different foods. Baked potato chips for sub sandwiches. BBQ chips for chili. Sour cream chips with hot dogs. Salt and vinegar chips with fish and shrimp, obviously. Good old plain greasy chips with hamburgers straight off the grill.

That last paragraph is a clear illustration of the battle my wife wages each and every day with me over my health.

One correction from last week’s column.

I believe I incorrectly identified St. Bernard’s Catholic Church as being in Camden rather than out on Loveberry Road. It is indeed St. Boniface Catholic Church located at Camden. Sorry about that, folks. I’m not sure what happened there, because I sure know the difference.

COMMUNITY

By Pat Ridpath Community Columnist Celebrating Mother ’s Day! It is so refreshing to have folks remember special moments with their mother. Some have bittersweet memories, but for the most part their hearts are tender with the emotions of those memories. We have a tradition that the men cook breakfast for the ladies of the church on Mother’s Day. They fixed a bountiful buffet of all our favorite breakfast dishes, highlighted by the most luscious and tempting basket of fruit I have ever seen! One table was covered with pictures we were asked to bring of our own parents, most of whom have long since passed away. Praise God for Mothers.

At our recent Sabbath services, we also celebrated Mothers. The children’s classes were to sing for us an old favorite, “M is for the million things she gave me; O means only that she is growing old. . .” but there were not enough children to hold up the letters as the song was sung. Six brave men from the audience came to the front, not only to hold up the letters, but to sing along with the children, Darren and Bridgette Cutright. (The words to the song were on the back of the letter poster.) One man was a visitor who had never attended our church before, but he gladly joined in the fun. His comment afterwards was that he enjoyed doing it and was impressed with how our church seemed to be one big family. He said he had never seen that in any other church he had attended. Many of us brought old pictures of our own parents, most who had long since passed away.

Perhaps you are a Christian, or you have grown up in a Christian home, or maybe your grandparents have shown you how much God loves you, or somehow, miraculously, you have learned that God loves you. If none of this is true for you, then, please believe that God truly does love you, unconditionally. He is wooing

Pat’s Chat

you every way He can, but He will never, ever, force you into a relationship with Himself. Number 10 of the 28 fundamental beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is: THE EXPERIENCE OF SALVATION. While God has made every provision for our salvation, He will not impose it on us by force. His nature is love and He longs to have a loving response from human beings for His plan to save them from sin. God has done His part: “God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them,” but we must accept the gift. “We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthian 5:10, 20).

We accept God’s gift of salvation by faith, for “faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). Faith means trusting God and accepting His Word. It means going from self-sufficiency to God’s sufficiency in Jesus Christ.

HOW TO HAVE FAITH Faith itself comes from God. Our desires have been corrupted by sin, bent toward the path of evil. But the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin and gives a new direction to our thoughts (John 16:8-11). It awakens within us a desire for God and His righteousness and empowers our will so that we are able to choose what is right. The Holy Spirit especially touches our hearts through the Word of God, the Bible (Romans 10:17). Thus, instead of rebelling against God and separating ourselves from His side, we return to Him and accept His gift of salvation. This is totally of God: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). Our part is to place our will on God’s side so the Holy Spirit can guide

us to Him. For while God offers us this priceless gift, He respects our freedom of choice.

As we give up our own righteousness and accept the righteousness of Christ, we establish a new relationship with God. Now we are justified, released from the guilt and death that we deserve because of our violation of God’s law (Romans 3:19-20). This condition is commonly known as “righteousness by faith.” We are forgiven (1 John 1:9), reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:17-21), redeemed from our slavery to sin (1 Peter 1:18, 19), adopted as sons and daughters of the living God (Romans 8:14-17), and set apart for His use in the midst of a rebellious world (Philippians 2:15).

Now we no longer live under the dominion of sin, for “thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness” (Romans 6:17, 18). The Holy Spirit, who brought us to Christ in the first place and who (if we are willing) activates within us the new birth (John 3:3-8), continues to enable us every day. He dwells within us and gives us the power to resist temptation; He instructs us about the decisions that confront us; and He reveals to us more and more of God’s love manifested in Christ (Romans 5:5; Ephesians 2:8).

Thus, from beginning to end, the experience of salvation is by grace, for “by grace you have been saved, through faith” (Ephesians 2:8). The way we came to Jesus is the way we live in Him: “Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him” (Colossians 2:6). Every day we should surrender ourselves completely to God so we can receive His life and

His justice. Jesus said,” ‘If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me’ “(Matthew 16:24). We will remain in Christ when we are united to Him in a relationship that grows stronger and deeper every day. “ ‘Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you are the branches’ “(John 15:4, 5).

GOD’S IMAGE RESTORED United with Christ, we are transformed into His divine likeness (2Corinthians 3:18). The image of God, marred and all but destroyed by the Fall, is progressively restored within us (Colossians 3:10). We no longer oppose His law nor do we try to avoid its requirements, for now it is written on our hearts. We have the assurance that as long as we choose to remain in Him, He will sustain us with His hand and never will He let us go: “ ‘No one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand’ “ (John 10:29).

God’s salvation through Jesus Christ strengthens us for today and gives us hope for tomorrow. Our life is now filled with meaning, for we belong to God. We can face the future with confidence, fully aware that as long as we remain in Him we have no need to fear. We know that in the judgment we have a Mediator who intercedes on our behalf namely, “Jesus Christ, the righteous One” (1 John 2:1). We look for the day of His return with great longing.

O, the depth of the love and wisdom of god in providing for every one of our needs, both now and throughout eternity! “What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?” (Romans8:31).

For further study: Psalm 27:1; Isaiah 12:2; Jonah 2:9; Matthew 18:3; John 3:16; Romans 4:25; 5:6-10; 8:1-4; 1 Corinthians 2:5; 15:3, 4; Galatians 1:4; 2:19, 20; 3:13; 4:4-7; Ephesians 2:5-10; 3:16-19; 1 Peter 1:23; 2:21.

Maranatha!

W.Va. participating May is mental health awareness month in states’ lawsuit over generic drugs CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia has joined a federal lawsuit alleging generic drug manufacturers conspired to inflate and manipulate prices.

Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced West Virginia’s participation with other states Monday. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Connecticut alleges 20 firms conspired to reduce competition and restrain trade relating to more than 100 drugs. They include treatments for diabetes, cancer and arthritis.

The lawsuit also names 15 senior executives responsible for pricing, sales and marketing as defendants. It asks for a finding that the defendants’ actions violated federal and state antitrust and consumer protection laws.

A company named in the lawsuit, Teva Pharmaceuticals USA, has denied any criminal behavior or civil liability.

Mylan Pharmaceuticals is among other defendants.

The lawsuit seeks damages and court action to restore market competition.

WV authorities charge 14 in stolen property ring

CHARLESTON — An investigation into a stolen property ring in West Virginia has resulted in charges against 14 people.

The Kanawha County sheriff’s office announced the arrests in a Monday news release. State police, sheriff’s offices in Putnam and Jackson counties, and a U.S. marshal service task force assisted in the warrant sweep.

The statement says two of the suspects were already jailed on other charges, and Sheriff Mike Rutherford says additional arrests are anticipated.

Rutherford says all-terrain vehicles, a recreational vehicle and tools were among $250,000 in items recovered.

He says authorities are working to get the stolen property back to its owners.

The statement says anonymous tips and neighborhood watch groups assisted authorities in the investigation.

Among the 72 counts are burglary, breaking and entering, and receiving stolen property.

UPSHUR COUNTY – Why care? Each of us, whether we realize it or not, knows many people who have been impacted in some way by mental illness.

These may include family members, friends, co-workers, customers, service providers and acquaintances.

One in five people in America are living with a mental illness and about one fourth of these individuals are living with a serious mental illness. Three million adults are living with a mental illness and a substance use disorder.

During May, national, state and local organizations join forces to raise awareness of mental health facts and stamp out myths, fight stigma and educate the public. These groups also advocate for policies and service-delivery systems that support people living with mental illness and their families.

This year the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) has launched the “Why Care?” campaign. NAMI notes that ‘Care’ is a simple four-letter word that has the power to make a life-changing impact for those affected by mental health conditions. Through our own words and actions, we can reduce the stigma and other barriers these individuals face as they pursue wellness and other life goals (nami.org).

What can I do as an individual to make a positive difference?

You can do a lot.

You can learn the facts,

develop an understanding of needs, and become familiar with the variety of support options available through online and community resources.

You can listen to the stories of people living with a mental illness.

You can watch for opportunities in your daily life to raise awareness of facts, needs and resources.

What can I do as someone who is living with mental illness? You can share your story.

You are not alone - and you can let others know that they are not alone.

You can make a difference for yourself and others by sharing your experiences and perspective. (What has helped?

What hasn’t? What has been most discouraging? What has given you hope?)

The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) offers the latest professional and research information about mental disorders and a range of related topics. Over 75 national nonprofit organizations participate in the NIMH Outreach Partnership Program as National Partners, including professional, consumer, advocacy and service-related organizations (nimh.nih.gov).

Here in West Virginia, NIMH’s only national partner is the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance (DBSA).

DBSAlliance.org states “DBSA is led by and created for individuals living with a mood

disorder and that experience informs everything that we do.”

DBSA is nationally recognized for its peer support specialist training services, advocacy work, peer support network and as an expert on mood disorders.

DBSA focuses on the two most prevalent mental health conditions nationally, depression and bipolar disorder, which account for 90 percent of the nation’s suicides.

The DBSA-WV State Office is in Buckhannon at 61 Marion Street. There are several DBSA service locations throughout West Virginia (dbsawv.org).

Diana Thompson, Executive Director for DBSA-WV, describes these as places where people with depression or bipolar disorder and those who care about them can share experiences, discuss coping skills and offer hope to one another. Free literature on all kinds of mental health illnesses is available for people to pick up, including information specifically focused on teens, men and women and information designed for family members and caregivers.

In Buckhannon, “Brown Bag by the Bridge” provides daily walk-in time Monday through Friday at the DBSA-WV office, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thompson designed Brown Bag by the Bridge to mirror a coffee shop experience, a place where people affected by mood disorders can talk with their peers in a safe and supportive environment. Individuals

are welcome to bring their lunch (in a brown bag) if they wish.

Free coffee and bottled water are available.

Buckhannon Peer Support Groups are offered twice a month at the DBSA-WV office, on the second and fourth Mondays at 6:30 p.m. Thompson notes that participants need not worry about stigma when they show up. “It’s a place where people won’t judge you and it is important for people to know that what is said here stays here.”

One DBSA support group participants states “The first place I found shelter from the storm was at my DBSA support group meeting, where I bonded with new, accepting friends and found role models who gave me faith that recovery was possible.” Another says “I think the reason I was depressed for so long was that I felt excluded from everything, even my family. Finding people who accept you for who you are — I can’t put a price tag on that.”

Additional West Virginia communities hosting DBSA Peer Support Groups include Berkeley Springs, Dunbar, Fairmont, Harpers Ferry, Huntington, Martinsburg, Morgantown, Parkersburg, Richwood, Romney and Ronceverte. More support groups are being formed.

For more information, please contact Diana Thompson, Emily Moore or Andi Cartier at 304-609-2662 or dbsawv@ outlook.org.

Miss Bee needs a new home

By Tara Kennedy Staff Writer

Miss Bee is a super sweet, tri-color Walker Coonhound available for immediate adoption at the Lewis-Upshur Animal Control Facility. She is four years old and has not been spayed yet, but she was given wormer and the DHHP vaccine.

Miss Bee was brought in to the shelter by Upshur County Animal Control on April 29, after being picked up on the Waterloo Road where she was running with a Beagle.

A bit shy when she first arrived, Miss Bee has warmed up to everyone now and is very friendly. She loves going for walks and playing with toys.

Miss Bee enjoys attention and a loving new home would make her an even happier girl!

If you’d like to meet sweet Miss Bee, please visit the L-UAC facility located on Mud Lick Road in Buckhannon. They are open Monday – Friday, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. to noon, or you can call 304-472-3865.
