4-H goes virtual with Camp URL
Wednesday, May 27, 2020
Local restaurants reopen with accommodations
By Karli Hamrick Staff Writer
By Kari Conaway Staff Writer WESTON — Even though the WVU Extension Service has cancelled all county and state level residential and overnight 4-H camps for June, July and August due to safety concerns, does not mean 4-H Camp cannot continue. Lewis County has adapted and will proceed with an alternative Camp URL this summer. 4-H Camp provides opportunities for kids to connect, learn new skills and participate in games, activities and unique experiences. That’s why the WVU Extension Service came up with a creative plan to continue to provide those experiences, even at a distance. All counties will have their own virtual 4-H Camp, while the three state camps will combine into one, offered on July 5. Those who cannot access the internet can also participate with the supplies provided by each county’s Extension Office. Anyone who registers will receive a box with activities and other camp related items. “Not everyone has internet access, so it is important that we do not leave anyone out. Any online activity that will happen will have a corresponding offline activity,” said Lewis County Extension Agent Megan Midcap. Those wishing to participate need be an enrolled 4-H member, she explained. Signing up for Camp URL enrolls the child into the program if they have not done so already. There will also be a formal registration soon to know who is there and where to send agendas and updates. Registration and the activities are free for all. “While it is disappointing that we cannot physically gather at Jackson’s Mill together for camp this summer, we are doing what 4-Hers do best and are dedicated to making See 4-H on Page 4

WILLIAM “BILL” LEROY JENKINS William “Bill” Leroy Jenkins, 83, of Lost Creek, traveled to God’s fishing hole on Monday, May 25, 2020, at United Hospital Center in Bridgeport. He was born in Grafton on July 30, 1936, a son of the late, Charles Warren and Mary “Pearl” Snider Jenkins. In addition to his parents, Bill was preceded in death by his first wife, Betty Jo Yeager Jenkins; and wife, Virginia Yarbrough Jenkins. Cherishing their memories of Bill are six children: Janelle Yeager-Jenkins and husband, Michael Ables, of Lost Creek, Danny Jenkins, Sr., Karl Jenkins Sr., Matt Hay, Tracy Hay, and Rodney Hay all of California; several step-children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren; four siblings: Charlotte Knight and Darlene Shuttleworth and husband, Clyde, both of Grafton, Ed Jenkins and wife, Lois, of Bridgeport, and Warren Jenkins and wife, Debbie, of Anmoore; and several nieces and nephews. After his father’s death, Bill quit school to work and help his mother with his younger siblings. He worked in a variety of places including the WV Coalmines, timber industry, and at Consolidated Supply. In 1960, he moved to California and started working as a welder for Gaylord Manufacturing. While in California, Bill received his Reverend License and had his own Pentecostal Church for many years. He remained at Gaylord Manufacturing until he retired in 1982. Although he retired, Bill could not sit still, so he took a part time job as a security guard to keep him busy. In 1982, Bill returned home
to the Wild and Wonderful West Virginia and purchased a farm. He was extremely proud of his property and took pride in caring for his garden and flowers. Bill also enjoyed playing the guitar, but his favorite pastime was going fishing at Twin Bridges with his “best buddy”, Alex Ables. While waiting for the fish to bite, Bill would share stories of his childhood with Alex. Bill was a compassionate man and will be missed by all who knew him. Bill’s request for cremation has been honored. A Celebration of Life Service will be held at the family farm in Lost Creek at 11 a.m. on Saturday, May 30, 2020, with Pastor Mike Riffle officiating. Interment will follow at Sinclair Cemetery on the farm. Everyone is invited to join the Covered Dish Cookout immediately after burial. We, at Pat Boyle Funeral Home and Cremation Service located at 144 Hackers Creek Rd. in Jane Lew, are honored and privileged to serve the family of William “Bill” Leroy Jenkins.

Lewis County reports first COVID-19 death
WESTON — The Lewis County Health Department reported the county’s first COVID-19 related death Friday morning. A press release from the health department confirmed the man was 54 years old and a resident of Lewis County. No further information regarding the patient’s death or demographics will be released to protect the privacy of the patient and his family, according to the statement. “The Lewis County Health Department would like to express its sincerest condolences to the family and our thoughts are with them at this time,” the statement concluded.
Capito calls for stronger support of National Guard in fight against COVID-19
CHARLESTON — U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and colleagues in both chambers of Congress, sent a bipartisan letter calling on the administration to provide additional services to the brave members of the National Guard who have boldly stepped up to the front lines during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on Friday. The West Virginia National Guard (WVNG) is supportive of these efforts. In the letter signed by 125 members of Congress, Senator Capito and her colleagues urged President Donald J. Trump, U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) Secretary Mark Esper, and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Peter Gaynor to help provide improved status, leave, healthcare, and reimbursement benefits to National Guard service members that are providing invaluable support services in response to COVID-19. “Our national success in flattening the curve will not be possible without the contributions of the National Guard. We believe it is critical to ensure that all National Guard personnel are taken care of during this crisis and after, recognizing that the threat of COVID-19 will not immediately go away and the National Guard is likely to be called on again in the future,” Senator Capito and her colleagues wrote. “We are proud of the incredible contributions of the National Guard. They have been a critical team member in the nation’s fight against COVID-19. We welcome your support in ensuring they are kept safe, healthy, and receive the benefits they deserve,” they continued. Specifically, the senators requested: · An extension of the National Guards Title 32 orders, which are currently in place until June 24. · An exemption for National Guard members from having to use annual leave to quarantine. The letter also requests that members be able to sell back their leave or roll it over. · Members who were activated are provided Transition Assistance Management Program (TAMP) for 180 days after coming off Title 32 orders. · The GI Bill and retirement benefits are protected for these members currently serving under Title 32.
Improvements to COVID-19 Data Dashboard continue to better inform public CHARLESTON — The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR), Bureau for Public Health continues to make improvements to the www.coronavirus.wv.gov dashboard with helpful information, including searchable county specific information with demographics on positive cases and individuals tested. “This information will better inform individuals about what is happening in their own county,” said Bill J. Crouch, DHHR Cabinet Secretary. “It can help guide action, emphasizing the importance of both individual and community prevention efforts. The team at the Bureau for Public Health, led by Dr. Cathy Slemp, her staff and the many partners are to be commended for their hard work, dedication, and research to make this level of detail available.” The updates will also reflect changes in national definitions and evolving technology. As more is understood about COVID-19 and how it is best managed, new standards for data collection and reporting have evolved. This update to the dashboard captures these shifts. As a result of recent increases in availability of serology-based testing and statewide efforts to improve electronic reporting of COVID-19, DHHR has recently begun receiving serology-based laboratory results. Serology-based test results will not be included in the dashboard reporting of confirmed laboratory results but will be reported separately on the county and lab tests tabs. Serology testing offers a different tool for understanding disease occurrence in communities. The dashboard will now report both active and recovered cases by county. “Recovery data from case investigations allows us to look at outcomes – following individuals through to their end of illness,” Dr. Cathy Slemp, State Health Officer and Commissioner for DHHR’s Bureau for Public Health. In alignment with updated definitions from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the dashboard now includes probable cases. Although a small portion of the cases to date, probable cases are individuals that have symptoms and either serologic (antibody) or epidemiologic (e.g., a link to a confirmed case) evidence of disease, but no confirmatory test. Public health takes all the same precautions for probable cases as confirmed cases, so those are now included. “Inclusion of probable cases in the publicly reported case counts more accurately represents disease burden in communities and provides us with better information to drive behavioral change and appropriate response,” Dr. Slemp added. Implementation of these changes will initially result in a one-time larger than usual increase in cases and a one-time unusual decrease in the number of lab tests on the next update. Subsequent updates would be anticipated to continue to advance as previously noted. The updated COVID-19 data dashboard at www.coronavirus.wv.gov went live at 5 p.m. Friday.

Gov. Justice expands Huttonsville testing to all inmates
CHARLESTON — Gov. Jim Justice ordered COVID-19 testing for all other Huttonsville Correctional Center inmates on Friday, after the mass testing directed earlier this week confirmed 25 additional cases at the Randolph County facility. Four additional staff there are also positive, following two rounds of testing for employees. The enhanced testing and ongoing contact tracing have established connections among several of the positive employees, and between that group and the initial inmate to test positive. All positive employees are in good condition and are recovering at home. All the positive inmates are in good or fair condition in medical isolation at the facility. Justice had previously said that all inmates would be tested if there were additional positives. Justice on Friday also directed the W.Va. National Guard, which completed testing of Huttonsville staff on Thursday, to sanitize affected housing areas, the dining hall and the positive employees’ offices. DCR Commissioner Betsy Jividen, Huttonsville Superintendent Shelby Searls and other agency leadership have been working closely with the National Guard, the W.Va. Bureau of Public Health and the Randolph County Health Department to coordinate the ongoing pandemic response. The 25 inmates are all among the 40 in the same housing unit as the initial inmate confirmed with COVID-19 on Monday. A second inmate in that unit tested positive Wednesday. Friday’s results bring the total number of W.Va. inmates confirmed with COVID-19 statewide to 27, all at Huttonsville. All positive cases have been from that quarantined housing unit to medical isolation. The four additional staff bring the total number of active cases among DCR employees statewide to eight, and again all are at Huttonsville. Three of those new cases resulted from the National Guard-assisted testing of the overnight and morning shifts on Wednesday. The other positive test had been conducted amid the ongoing contact tracing by local health officials. The latest results from that tracing process show
connections between three of those positive employees. One of those employees shares an office with a fourth positive employee – and that employee was in close proximity to the first inmate confirmed positive. Also, as part of the rapid
response, all other inmates at Huttonsville are screened medically daily, including with temperature checks. No other inmates are exhibiting fevers or other symptoms. There are around 1,030 inmates at the facility.
The National Guard tested 203 employees on Wednesday, and an additional 39 on Thursday. The sanitizing effort will begin once all positive cases are identified and moved to medical isolation.

WV SOS Mac Warner asks for West Virginians to enlist for consideration to be a Poll Worker
CHARLESTON — Preparations for in-person voting during early voting and on Election Day are being finalized by all 55 county clerks. According to West Virginia Secretary of State Mac Warner, counties are amassing the necessary poll workers and alternates for Election Day. County clerks in some locations continue their work to fill several positions vacated by veteran poll workers who are more susceptible to the coronavirus. "We want veteran poll workers who are concerned about COVID-19 to know that other generations of West Virginians are ready to jump in," Warner said. "We are recruiting alternate poll workers statewide to stand by in the case that others may sit this one out. We hope our veterans will return for the November General Election." Poll workers are paid for completing a training class and working Election Day. Interested voters may contact their county clerk for specific payment information, including the total amount. "We're asking registered voters to step up and help out. This is a unique election and a unique opportunity for those interested in our democracy to serve as a poll worker," Warner said. “We hope to have sufficient poll workers for Election Day, which means you may not get selected, but if duty calls, we need to know you are there to jump in.” Any registered voter who is interested in becoming a poll worker is encouraged to contact their county clerk's office or complete the form at GoVoteWV.com. The Primary Election is scheduled for Tuesday, June 9, which is a state holiday in West Virginia. Warner said he hopes registered voters who may be off from work that day will consider becoming a poll worker. 4-H from Page 1 the best better in our given circumstance. This alternate delivery method gives us a chance to think outside of the box and try new things, while still providing access to some of our most beloved camping activities,” Midcap said. “I’m proud of our volunteers and camp staff members who have graciously stepped up to think about how we can deliver meaningful programming to our 4-Hers. I am also very proud of our 4-Hers who have adapted to the changes so gracefully. I am excited for the memories we will make this summer during our camping at home together adventures!” Lewis County 4-H Camp will take place June 28 to July 2 via URLinked (You are Linked). Midcap explained no future in-person activities are being planned at this time, but they are still aiming to hold an in-person charting ceremony later this summer.

Alden Butcher for County Commissioner: “Make Lewis County a destination”
By Karli Hamrick Staff Writer
WESTON — Known for his talent of auctioneering and involvement in his family business, Lewis County native Alden Butcher brings a young, energetic and republican vision to his candidacy for Lewis County Commissioner. Butcher said he would like to improve the poor relationship between the city and county government that previously existed. He stated, “When you are elected to public office, you must check your ego at the door every single day. If elected, I believe I can forge a relationship between the two governments that is stronger than ever before.” In order to do this, Butcher believes we must create and improve our access as a team – without access there is no economic development, he asserted. Along with improved access, “We need improved lighting, inviting access points, and the ability to navigate large trucks through town,” Butcher stated. He also feels strongly regarding taxes and explained, “You cannot over-tax a declining population…we pay greatly already.” In fact, he wants to lower taxes. Butcher believes it is important to take care of the county taxpayers’ money. “We have become a departure…It is my goal to make Lewis County a destination again. It is time to get the next generation involved in the conversations. I have always been taught that if you want anything in life, it takes constant and never-ending improvement. And that is exactly what I will promote,” he articulated.
Butcher stated that he is running for Commissioner because the county is losing population. “When people leave here, it is hard for them to come back. But Lewis County has the potential to shine – we have an excellent location.” Butcher said he believes we have fallen behind the times. He also believes the county is struggling economically due to failing infrastructure. “Our bridges, streets and access points have started to crumble, creating isolation to areas in the county where there is potential for economic development.” Butcher represents and shares a common vision with the people of Lewis County and the next generation who aspire to have a vibrant place to raise their family. Butcher also believes he has the most energetic personality to get along with people and motivate change for the position. The candidate feels that he treats everyone equally, regardless of their “circle.” He explained how he is willing to help anyone wanting to start a business, rather than making it more difficult on them – even if they’re going into the same type of business he is in. “I am confident enough in myself and my ability that I do not need to discourage my competition – that is called leadership,” he expressed. Butcher’s opponents seeking a seat on the Lewis County Commission are Bobby Stewart and Larry Haddix. Butcher comes from a family of getting things done, taking on major restoration and development projects. He assures that he will constantly be looking for ways to improve and stay up to date with the
Alden Butcher and family evolving times – something he feels the county is currently lacking. Butcher is personally invested and eager to serve as the voice for young families who need adequate housing, as well as small businesses who need lifted and promoted. He promises to be resourceful and responsive to the people. Being fiscally responsible and taking care of taxpayers’ money are among his top priorities. His intent is to stay in Lewis County, raise a family in Lewis County and operate a business in Lewis County for the next 30 years. “I am concerned about laying a foundation for the next generation. I believe if you help enough other people get what they want, you will get everything you want in life,” Butcher expressed. Butcher and wife Micah are raising a 3-year-old daughter
and just welcomed a new baby son. He has grown up in Lewis County, excelled as an athlete and has been involved in his family business for decades. Butcher also attended Fairmont State University, where he studied business. He also attended the World Wide College of Auctioneering and over the last 10 years, has been managing millions of dollars in assets for his clients. Butcher stated that the auction businesses has taught him the value of property and what the highest and best use of it is. He also learned a lot from his grandfather Alvy Butcher, who was in the real estate business, giving him a better understanding of buying, selling and renting residential real estate.
Bobby Stewart for County Commissioner: “I win, you win”
By Karli Hamrick Staff Writer
WESTON — A vote for Bobby Stewart as Lewis County Commissioner is a vote for fiscal responsibility, negotiations and resiliency. Stewart said he is running for a seat as Commissioner to bring positive change and fresh ideas to Lewis County. “I win, you win,” he stated. Stewart recognizes that we are sitting at one of the busiest intersections in the state of West Virginia. “We must do everything we can to build infrastructure and develop economically to maximize the potential of what we truly have,” he elaborated. Stewart is also a firm supporter and believer in the youth of this county – our stars of tomorrow. To keep the youth here, Stewart believes we must increase our tourism outreach by highlighting the great and countless things Lewis County has to offer. “Every decision we make affects them and their future. We want them here,” he emphasized. Stewart would also like to see more community involvement. He believes people are
willing to help, and we need to find a way to let them. “Let’s create infrastructure, put a vocational center in this county, and create jobs,” he specified. Doing so will provide more opportunities for our youth and help resolve the declining population issue, according to Stewart. A business background that has taught Stewart fiscal responsibility, negotiations and resiliency, is exactly what the county needs, he explained. Stewart asserted he is running for the county, its citizens and community. “I have dedicated my life volunteering, and this county needs to elect someone that’s about public service, not self-service,” he specified. Stewart also explained that he is not afraid to stand up for what he believes in and will do everything in his power to make the right decision. He promises after having researched an issue, that he will stand behind his educated decision. “I am 100% a fighter,” he expressed. A Lewis County High School and West Virginia University graduate, Stewart also attended Walton School of Auctioneering and is a licensed Real Estate Agent. He

move, and move in a really negative way. We’re not really seeing that absolutely in a big way, but we’re watching and we’re watching all the time,” Justice assured. Justice gave an update on the current state statistics as of Tuesday. The governor showed the WV Cumulative Percent of Tests Positive was 2.05 percent. The state’s Fatality Rate currently stands at 4.13 percent. The state’s 1,139 recovered cases far exceed the number of active cases at 585. West Virginia has tested 4.7 percent of the state’s population, higher than the nation’s average of 4.04 percent. All of these statistics and more can be found on the dashboard at coronavirus.wv.gov. Justice once again asked for cities and counties to apply for the CARES Act grant funding available at grant.wv.gov. Justice asked cities and counties that have already applied to reapply because back billing may occur once guidelines are relaxed. “It puts more money into the economy and makes our comeback in West Virginia, and our comeback as a nation, even faster,” Justice said. The governor also asked West Virginians to please take part in the Census. He suggested to the viewers an idea brought to him for West Virginians to take initiative and call around in their community to see if their neighbors have responded to the Census. Justice announced a 58 percent increase in state park reservations, compared to last May, after offering a 30 percent discount on West Virginia state parks from June 1 to August 31. All West Virginians have an opportunity to book reservations by going to WVstateparks.com and applying the promo code WVSTRONG. The free mobile county-wide COVID-19 testing continues this week with three places in Fayette County, then Berkeley, Jefferson, Kanawha, Mineral and Morgan counties will have spots available for the weekend. Justice updated that Huttonsville Correctional Center’s entire staff and all inmates have now been tested. There have been 39 inmates confirmed positive and no additional staff, since the two were announced last week. Betsey Jividen, West Virginia Division of Corrections and Rehabilitation Commissioner, elaborated that all the tests have been sent in, the results are expected later in the week and contact tracing has begun. She also shared that you can see the reports on the Corrections tab, made available Tuesday afternoon. Major General James Hoyer, with the West Virginia National Guard, reported that the National Guard is working with state government agencies to prevent cyber intrusion threats that the country has experienced lately. The WVNG also continues to help the Division of Corrections with testing and sanitization, personal protective equipment development, and the testing lanes across the state. COVID-19 Czar Dr. Clay Marsh reminded that masks may not have the strongest effect for those vigorously coughing, and recommends to still cover coughs and sneezes with shoulders or crooks of the elbow. He also reported that mask-wearing cultures in general have seen fewer deaths without masks. “Looking at Japan as an example with less than 1,000 deaths in a country of 126 million is very powerful,” Marsh said. State Health Officer Dr. Cathy Slemp updated on the four-county African American Testing Initiative and Community-Based testing in Berkeley, Jefferson, Raleigh and Mercer. The testing reached 2,385 individuals, with between 18 and 41 percent of those tested being African American. Cabinet Secretary of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Bill Crouch reminded viewers that, even amid the pandemic, the WVDHHR has not forgotten about the opioid epidemic and continues to advocate and support recovery programs.

Justice, as well as state and federal health officials. This includes wearing personal protective equipment, such as masks, and amending operations to incorporate more stringent cleaning and promote distancing guidelines. “Our first and most important priority at this time is making sure our guests, visitors and staff are safe,” said West Virginia State Parks Chief Brad Reed. “We want to thank the Governor and our state’s health officials for leading us through this crisis and providing the guidance and resources we need to start reopening our parks and forests.” For updates on reopening dates and changes to operations, visit wvstateparks.com/ travel-alert.

Looking for furever homes
By Tara Kennedy Editor
BUCKHANNON — The Lewis-Upshur Animal Control Facility still needs help finding furever homes for animals like Mason and Mill, who find themselves in the unfortunate predicament of living at the pound during the coronavirus pandemic. Please take advantage of more time at home as the perfect opportunity to adopt a new pet and have time to train it properly. Mason is an adorable mixed Border Collie puppy. He is only 5 months old and weighs 37 pounds. Mason has not been neutered yet, but assistance is available if needed. The Buckhannon Police Department took him to the pound last week, so he is sweet but a little nervous. Mason has not been tested with other dogs yet, but he reportedly rides nicely in a vehicle and gets along fine with children. Mill is a handsome Dutch Shepherd. He is 3 years old and weighs 45 pounds. Mill was taken to the pound as a stray on Tuesday and will be available for adoption on June 1 if not claimed by his owner. He seems to be in good health and walks nicely on a leash, but the people who found him said he did not seem to like their small dogs. Due to COVID-19, L-UAC asks that you please call before coming to the facility to meet a pet for adoption or claim your animal. You will also be required to observe social distancing and utilize precautionary masks and gloves while inside the facility. Mason and Mill, as well as many other loving cats and dogs, are always available for adoption at the Lewis-Upshur Animal Control Facility located on Mud Lick Road in Buckhannon, so please adopt, don’t shop! Call L-UAC at (304) 472-3865 to claim your
