Thomas Newbrough was recently elected the new chair of Lewis County First an all-volunteer group looking to make improvements in Lewis County.

“I’m excited,” Newbrough said. “I’ve been with Lewis County First for four years. I’m looking forward to stepping up.”

According to Newbrough he is looking forward to the coming year and what it holds for the group and for Lewis County.

“I’m looking forward to us doing some great things coming year,” he said.

Newbrough, 28, is currently employed as a financial advisor at Edward Jones. He studied economics at The Ohio State Univeristy.

He resides in Weston with his spouse Brittney Barlett.

Newbrough replaces Ray Smith who has been chair of the group for the past three years.

Other individuals elected to positions in the group include Gary Weaver as vice chair; Michelle Allen as treasurer; and Kayla Talbert as secretary.

Watch what you flush in Weston

According to officials with the Weston sanitary Board, items are being put in the sanitary sewer system via toilets causing problems throughout the sanitary sewer system.

These items will block main lines, clog pumps and block off personal home/residential lines. It can cost $6,000 to $10,000 to repair a damaged pump and $15,000 to replace a pump.

One of the main items causing the biggest problem is disposable wipes, according to officials.

Even though these wipes are marketed as flushable they do not break down or dissolve in the sewer and water. They become entangled in the pumps and clog them causing a blockage in the lines.

Baby wipes, adult wipes and wipes of all kinds being flushed is leading to system wide troubles.

Other products being flushed causing blockages include paper towels, feminine hygiene products, plastic bags, and articles of clothing. Officials ask that you do not flush these items down the toilet.

Customers are asked to take note of this information, and to speak with children and others in the household about the importance of not flushing these items.

Officials note they appreciate customers and all they are doing to help them keep sewer lines clear.

For more information, call the treatment plant at 304-2693489 or the billing office at 304-269-1300.

By John Clise Editor WESTON — During Monday evening’s monthly Weston City Council meeting held at the Weston Volunteer Fire Department council members voted on a split with Mayor Kim Harrison casting the tie

breaker not to retain current Dodie Arbogast as finance manager for the coming year.

With Council members Steve Weaver and Herb Curtis voting to keep Arbogast and members Randy Bohan and Gary Foster voting not to retain her, Harrison was left to make the deciding vote in the neg-

ative thus releasing Arbogast from her position.

Arbogast was hiring during the prior administration as finance manager.

Chad Borum, engineer for the West Virginia Department of Highways, appeared before council to discuss the two bridges on 4th Street that are in

need of repair or replacement.

The smaller bridge is of beam construction with a concrete pad on top it, according to Borum.

On the smaller bridge, the reason for replacement is the failure of the concrete pad on See Arbogast on Page 5

According to a social media release, the Lewis County Health Department is currently seeing an increase in Pertussis “Whooping Cough” cases in Lewis County.

Pertussis cases are one of the mandatory reportable diseases that the Health Department investigates. The Health Department is currently investigating and working with all local healthcare providers to make sure all individuals affected are educated, vaccinated and treated. Pertussis outbreaks are common in the United States due to them being defined as two or more people with the diagnosis.

Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a contagious respiratory disease. Pertussis is known for coughing episodes that when the person breathes in, it results in a “whooping sound”. Pertussis can affect people of all ages but can be very serious for babies less than a year old. The reason for this is because they are not fully vaccinated. The best way to protect yourself is by getting

vaccinated and staying up to date on your vaccinations. Vaccinated children and adults can become infected with and spread pertussis; however, symptoms are typically much less serious in vaccinated people.

“How do I know if I have been vaccinated”?

If you are an adult check your vaccination record and see if you have had a vaccine called Tdap. This stands for tetanus, diptheria, and pertussis. School age children are required to be vaccinated. Contact your childs pediatrician or your family Doctor to verify if you have questions regarding your child’s vaccination status. Children receive a vaccination called DTaP (Diptheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis). Children should receive DTaP at age 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 15-18 months and 4-6years old. They then receive TDaP prior to 7th grade or as early as 11 years old.

For any further information please contact your medical provider or the Health Department at 304-269-8218.

PSC anticipates lower gas utility bills CHARLESTON, WV – Following an initial review of the “Purchased Gas Adjustment” cases filed recently, the Public Service Commission of West Virginia is expecting slightly lower gas utility bills across the state for the upcoming heating season.

Natural gas utilities that serve over 91% of the natural gas customers in the state have filed requests with the Commission to lower the purchased gas portion of

their rates. Mountaineer Gas Company has asked for a decrease of 3.91% and Hope Gas/Dominion Energy has requested a decrease of 8.87%.

Five companies, serving 8.5% of residential natural gas customers, have requested an increase in their purchased gas prices due to under-recovery of gas costs in 2018 and, in some cases, projected higher gas prices being charged by their suppliers.”

Specialist in the treatment of knees, hips, rotator cuff repairs and sports injuries.

to account for the cost of gas in a process called a Purchased Gas Adjustment (PGA) proceeding before the Commission. The PGA is an estimate of expected prices utilities will have to pay for gas from their suppliers for the period of November 1 through October 31 of the following year, as well as a “true up” of actual costs for the previous year. The PGA does not include any profit for the utility.

By law, gas utilities are permitted to recover their costs to purchase natural gas. The gas rates of customers are adjusted annually

OBITUARIES

Denis “JOHN” Hogan, Jr. Denis “JOHN” Hogan, Jr. was born in New South Wales, Australia on August 7th, 1959.

John was raised Catholic with two sisters and two brothers on their family’s property in western Australia.

When John reached middle school he continued his studies at a private Catholic boarding school where he discovered his love for rugby.

Rugby ignited John’s adventurous soul, as he played overseas for various Australian teams. Rugby served as his outlet for travel, but soon John would find his calling for helping others. He joined the Australian Royal Army, where he was SAS to the Peace Keeping Forces for the Rwanda Civil War. Once his mission was over, he left the Royal Army and began work for the Queensland Rail as an engineering technician. Little did he know that his next greatest adventure would soon follow.

John met Mary Gilbertson in December 1996. The two were inseparable and married exactly one year later and John made land fall in the United States for the first time. In 1998, they welcomed a beautiful baby boy, Thomas. Later in life, John found his calling for helping others again in the nursing field.

John will be remembered as a loving husband, father, uncle, cousin and friend. He was welcomed into a family

that loved him unconditionally and embraced him as one of their own.

Until we meet again, Cheers Mate.

John’s request for cremation has been honored. Family and friends gathered for a Memorial Service at Pat Boyle Funeral Home and Cremation Service located at 144 Hackers Creek Rd. in Jane Lew on Saturday, August 3, 2019 with Reverend James R. DeViese Jr. presiding.

FROM THE FRONT

AG Morrisey urges Supreme Court to reconsider pipeline shutdown

CHARLESTON — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey is leading a 16-state alliance urging the U.S. Supreme Court to review, and ultimately overturn, a ruling that halted construction of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a decision that could unnecessarily block pipeline construction and impede economic growth nationwide.

The coalition’s brief, filed this past week, argues a federal appeals court was inaccurate in ruling the U.S. Forest Service lacked authority to grant the Atlantic Coast Pipeline rights-of-way through forestland beneath the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. ”The court’s decision was completely wrong,” Morrisey said. “This decision, if it holds, will stand in the way of economic diversification, education and public safety.

Continued delays negatively impact the livelihoods of our working class families and the services they receive.”

The Atlantic Coast Pipeline will transport natural gas through Harrison, Lewis, Upshur, Randolph and Pocahontas counties en route to Virginia and North Carolina.

A halt to pipeline construction will cost West Virginia jobs and lost revenue from income and property taxes.

County officials suggest these monies would make a difference in law enforcement activities and future economic development.

“The tax revenue generated from this project is essential,” said Cindy Whetsell, director of the Lewis County Economic Development Authority. “The Atlantic Coast Pipeline’s benefits are enormous. Lewis County, the State of West Virginia and the United States need this project for overall stability and prosperity.”

Pipeline supporters note the loss of business for restaurants, hotels and others that benefit from the increased activity brought with pipeline construction. They also point to families left essentially broken when the head of the household must work out of state to replace jobs lost on the stalled pipeline.

“It is crucial that the Atlantic Coast Pipeline be given permission to move forward with construction,” said Robert Morris Jr., executive director of the Randolph County Development Authority. “Many of our local businesses have been banking on the construction activity bringing new and expanded revenue to them. Many of our citizens were also counting on the jobs that either directly or indirectly were created by the ACP.” The attorneys general argue, if left intact, the ruling from the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals would transform 1,000 miles of the Appalachian Trail into a near-impenetrable barrier to energy development – all due to a one-tenth of mile crossing on a 600-mile pipeline.

If applied nationwide, the coalition argues the appeals court decision would seal off more than 11,000 miles of federal trails from development and potentially disrupt the national power grid because of the chilling effect it could have on infrastructure investment.

Other states joining the West Virginia-led brief are Alabama, Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming.

Capito votes for budget compromise

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) today issued the below statement after voting in support of the budget agreement negotiated by the Trump administration and U.S. House of Representatives leaders. The Senate passed the measure by a vote of 67 to 28, and it now heads to the president’s desk for his signature.

“I’m glad that President Trump and the administration were able to negotiate a budget agreement with House leadership that allows us to now move forward with the appropriations process. One of our most important jobs as members of Congress is delivering the resources to fund our government, provide certainty and support for our military and our veterans, and ensure economic stability for American families. This agreement puts us on the path to accomplish all of those goals, and as chair of the Homeland Security Appropriations Subcommittee, I’m ready to get to work and do my part to make sure we do so responsibly, effectively, and with the best interests of West Virginians and all Americans in mind.”

Take the DNR Mountaineer Sportsman Challenge at the State Fair of West Virginia FAIRLEA – If you have a keen eye and vast knowledge of West Virginia wildlife, you may qualify to be the 2019 West Virginia Mountaineer Sportsman.

A free contest to determine the winner of the title is being offered by West Virginia Natural Resources Police Officers during the State Fair of West Virginia Aug. 8-17, 2019. The challenge will be administered by the West Virginia Natural Resource Police Officers Association (NRPOA).

Contestants must be West Virginia residents age 15 or older. The challenge can be quickly completed while visiting the NRPOA booth in the West Virginia Building. Contestants will represent their home Division of Natural Resources districts, which can be found on the inside front page of the West Virginia hunting or fishing regulations brochures.

Prizes will be awarded to the top scorer in each of the six districts with a grand prize going to the overall top scorer.

The overall winner will also earn the prestigious title of the “2019 West Virginia DNR Mountaineer Sportsman” and will be presented a gift by the Natural Resource Police Officers Association. Also, all top six district finalists will have their names posted on the West Virginia Natural Resource Police Facebook page.

Arbogast from Page 1 top of the beam construction.

The sidewalk over the bridge has been closed for several years due to the disintegration of the concrete. The bridge is still used by vehicles as well at least 100 pedestrians per day walking into town.

Because the bridge is the property of city state funds cannot be used to repair or replace the bridges According to Borum the DOH can assist the city by inspecting the bridges at no cost and making suggestions to their care as they have been doing for years.

IN early 2018 a plan was setup for the design and replacement of the small bridge.

The first set of plans were

recently submitted and the process of defining needs is now underway.

Federal funds can be used with the 80 percent coming from the federal level and 20 percent coming from the city for the replacement or repair costs.

The initial plan for replacement of the bridge stands at $600,000.

The replacement once agreed upon will take approximately five months to complete and require a detour.

Action on the bigger two span bridge, across the West Fork River, is completely out of the hands of the DOH, according to Borum. The span is listed annually in the Top10 bridges in the state needing replaced.

A public meeting, though not well publicized earlier this year yielded only 12 comments from community members.

According Borum, of the three options presented only two were viable and one will take require property acquisition and the demolition of a home.

The option given up first was to construct a bridge across from Pratt Avenue to Rt. 19, but that would have implications on possible flooding.

The second would require the property currently owned

by Robert and Eileen Billeter at 1E. E. 4th Street to be purchased and demolished. It could also require the acquisition of parts of other properties on the corners as well.

The two span 4th Street bridge serves 3,000 vehicles a day and is in need of replacement. The current bridge has been in place since 1913. The replacement cost is estimated at $2.5 million. The bridge annually makes the state’s top 10 list of bridges that need replaced in the state.

The third and most viable option being considered is a new bridge crossing the West Fork near Mid Ave. Borum noted the state was on the verge of making a decision, and was leaning towards the Mid Sv. Option.

What will happen to the historic 4th Street bridge should a new span be constructed is still up in the air at this point.

It is used by several hundred people a day on foot. It serves approximately 3,000 cars a day.

The replacement cost of the bigger 4th Street bridge is estimated at approximately $2.5million.

“We are just trying to help you all find the best option,” Borum said.

Manchin applauds West Virginia business train endeavor

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV), applauded the Rail Excursion Management Co. announcement that they will be running their new Autumn Colors Express from Huntington, West Virginia to Hinton, West Virginia from October 25-27, 2019. The Autumn Colors Express will continue the 50 year tradition of the Railroad Days Festival, where passengers travel roundtrip in vintage trains. This announcement comes after Collis P. Huntington Railroad Historical Society, Inc. announced

that they would have to discontinue the operation of their New River Train earlier this year due to regulation and funding issues.

“I applaud Adam Auxier and Rail Excursion Management Co. on their decision to continue the 50 year tradition of the New River train and the Railroad Days festival in October. The trip from Huntington to Hinton in the fall truly showcases the beauty of West Virginia and brings joy and revenue to our state,” said Senator Manchin. “For over a year, I have been working

hard to make sure this annual festival would continue, first advocating for Amtrak to end their crushing regulations and fees to try to save Collis P. Huntington and then working with Amtrak and Rail Excursion Management to keep this West Virginia tradition alive.

I look forward to the new Autumn Colors Express and will always support the Railroad Days festival however I can.”

“We are very excited to showcase the beautiful New River Gorge in its fall colors to our passengers. I hope they enjoy their journey on these

lovingly preserved railcars on their trip to Hinton,” said Adam Auxier, CEO of Rail Excursion Management Co. “The return of the train this fall means so much to the city of Hinton and its residents. The annual Railroad Days festival has brought thousands of people to our town over the years; our local nonprofits operate food and vending tents that in turn provide scholarships to so many of our local students.

We’re overjoyed that this tradition can keep going year after year,” said Cris Meadows, Hinton City Manager.

AG says to watch for unusual credit card fees CHARLESTON — Attorney General Patrick Morrisey warned consumers Friday to keep an eye out for unusual credit card fees. This is especially important when making numerous purchases within a short period of time, such as while traveling or back-toschool shopping.

Based upon past history, consumers may be caught off guard by additional fees for late payments, non-sufficient funds and cash advances, as well as exceeding charge limits,

accessing account information and automatic withdrawals for subscriptions or services that are no longer used.

“Credit or debit cards can make shopping convenient as consumers can make purchases with one swipe,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “It’s important to regularly check credit or debit card statements to make sure no unusual fees appear.”

Helpful tips for monitoring credit card usage and fees include:

Keep in mind that credit cards provide the best protection to dispute charges. Debit cards are no different than cash and come with no special protection.

Learn the cancellation process before signing up for any service.

Organizations, at times, use third parties to handle their payments so note their contact details too.

Regularly review ongoing services received and know the cost of those services.

Scrutinize monthly credit

card or bank statements and reconcile them against services used. If there are discrepancies, ask for a review.

Attempt to cancel any payments for services no longer in use.

Consumers with questions or complaints about unusual credit card fees can contact the Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division at 1-800-368-8808 or the Eastern Panhandle Consumer Protection Office in Martinsburg at 304-267-0239.

AREA NEWS

By Pat Ridpath Community Columnist

Pat’s Chat

By John Clise Editor I was thinking about grandparents the other day which always leads me to think of those sweet summer days sitting on the porch at my granddad’s, my mom’s dad, house listening to stories about cowboys and Indians, and his boyhood.

He told us about going to the cows in the morning and warming his bare feet in the warm spots where the cows had slept the night before.

And he told crazy stories about catching fish with baling twine and a hook he made out of a nail. He stood his ground. Said it was true. Granddad even described the fish he caught as the size of a full grown pig.

I remember my grandmom help me bath when I was about four years-old. She would leave me to bath on my own “like a big boy,” though I’m quite certain she was just outside the bathroom door listening to my every move. I base that on the fact that when I was making enough noise she immediately asked from outside the door if I was okay and what I was doing.

I would play with this yellow and white plastic boat. It was a motorboat.

I remember my grandmom always wrapping me up in a green towel that seemed to be as big as a blanket.

My granddad’s stories always make me think of a friend from Braxton County who actually walked three miles just to get to the bus stop. He lived up Hyre’s Run. He dispensed with the walking ten miles to school up hills both ways somehow always in a snow storm even in September. He took me up Hyre’s Run to show me where his house was, and it was for sure a good three miles.

I asked his sister about it once and all she said was “Oh, yeah, we did. Some of us kids walked farther than that.”

My grandpap, on my dad’s side, had to quit school after the 8th grade to go to work to help support his family. That was 1928. He retired from Consol 50 years later in 1978.

He went to work first in the company store and later in the mines. I saw his old reports cards. He’d gotten all A marks throughout his schooling.

He was always impressed my grandmom graduated from high school. He didn’t outright brag about it, but he was impressed and when it came up he let people know she graduated from high school.

My mom’s parents both graduated from college.

My grandpap also told us cowboy and Indian stories though the Indians played a bigger part in is stories. I’m pretty sure he was not at all impressed with the treatment Native Americans received. He did seem to know a lot about the culture and such things.

He grew up during the Great Depression, I never heard him complain about it. He wore a hand-me-down dress that his sister out grew until he was in like second grade because it was the only clothes he had. I never heard him complain.

I remember him and dad talking about the 1960 World Series. The Maz. Sometimes it seemed like it was the only thing they had in common.

It still makes me smile to remember hearing them talk about that series. Though both knew the stats and statistics.

St. Boniface chicken dinner

JOHN CLISE/Lewis County Community Guide

Community members enjoyed the 88th Annual St. Boniface Chicken Dinner over the weekend. Located in Camden, St. Boniface is the oldest Catholic Church in Lewis County. St. Boniface became the patron saint of Germania, known as the “Apostle of the Germans”.

Bittersweet news first: “Bitter” because we lost a wonderful woman; “sweet” because she lived healthfully for so many years. I only heard about this yesterday, found her obituary online and am including excerpts from it: “On July 6, 2019, Mary Marguerite Moran Bush, age 97 passed peacefully in her home in Venice, Florida.

Mary was born on December 23, 1921 in Burnsville, West Virginia to John V. Moran and Myrtle Knight Moran.

“She and her late husband of 50 years, Marvin B. Bush, began their married life in West Virginia. She supported him throughout his career in the Navy by living in Virginia and California.

“Before she was married, she graduated from Glenville College and became a oneroom schoolteacher in West Virginia . . . . After marrying Marvin, they returned to Burnsville and opened an appliance store with her brother John Moran. They eventually moved to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida in 1954. . . . Please share prayers, condolences and memories with the family at www.farleyfuneralhome.com.” I am sure many of you remember her, and the family mentioned here. She was a lovely person, beautiful inside and out, helpful to others all her life.

The Singing Seniors met again at the Buckhannon Senior Center Saturday evening. I walked there because I love getting out on an evening that is cool enough to enjoy. The group visiting was the Senior Center was The Country Ramblers. (Picture included.) They are actually from the Buckhannon area! It is wonderful that so many talented people are local, and willing to share their talents. I wish more of you would come join us every other Saturday evening at approximately 6:00 p.m. (or earlier if you want to join in with their Potluck dinner before the singing. Everyone brings some edible creation for sharing.) I believe my pastor, Rick Cutright, and his wife, Bonnie, will be doing some of the music the next time we meet (two weeks from now).

Our church members recently enjoyed a picnic at the home of Carol Holden, with an abundance of good food and fellowship. She has a beautiful home in the country with a swimming pool and a lovely deck where we ate our lunch. I only wish many more folks could have joined us for the fun. Some of us (including me) got lost trying to find her house out Hall Road. I misunderstood her directions. Maybe we will go there again next year and I will not be even a tiny bit late.

The 21st Fundamental Belief of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is STEWARDSHIP. “There was once a man who had nothing, and God gave him ten apples. The first three were

for him to eat. The next three were for him to sell so he could provide for himself protection from the sun and the rain. The next three were for him to purchase clothing for himself. The last apple was so he could have something to return to God as a way of showing his gratitude for the other nine.

“The man ate the first three apples. He sold the next three to provide himself with protection from the sun land the rain, and he sold three more to provide clothing for himself. Then he looked at the tenth apple. It seemed larger and juicier than all the rest. He knew that god had given it to him so he would have something to return to God as a demonstration of his gratitude for the other nine. But he thought, God doesn’t need this apple. He owns all the apples in the world! So he ate the tenth apple and gave God the seeds.

WHAT IS STEWARDSHIP? “This simple parable calls to our attention the principles of stewardship. God is the Creator of the world, and therefore the Owner of all that is in it. All that we possess, we receive from His hand (Genesis 1:26-28).

“Behind the bread is the snow-white flour, and behind the flour the mill, and behind the mill the wheat and the rain, and the sun and the blessing of the Father.

“We are guardians of the Lord’s property. We owe our very life to the sustaining power (Genesis 2:15; Acts 17:2428). In exchange for His abundant gifts, the Creator requires that we care for this marvelous world that He formed to be our home. We should use these resources wisely and impartially. Because we are indebted to God for the gift of life, He has a right to expect that we dedicate our time, talents, and energy to Him. “God asks that, as an acknowledgment that we are His possession and that we depend on Him, we return to Him onetenth of our earnings, the tithe, and that we turn it over to the church for the support of the ministry (Numbers 18:21; Deuteronomy 14:22; Psalm 24:1; 1 Corinthians 9:9-14). He claims this money as His. Therefore, in returning it to Him we are

not in fact giving Him anything. We are simply paying a debt. Keeping that tenth part of our income is an indication that we are guilty of robbing God (Malachi 3:8, 9). The offerings we give in addition to the tithe show our love and reveal the degree of our generosity (Deuteronomy 16:17; 2 Corinthians 9:7). Both the Sabbath (one seventh of our time) and the tithe (one-tenth of our wealth) are ways we recognize God as the Creator and Owner of all things.

ISRAEL’S TITHE “Ancient Israel was asked to give a second tithe. In fact, their contributions for religious and charitable purposes amounted to at least one fourth of their income. The more conscientious gave a third of their income! Does the work of carrying the gospel to all the world in this generation require less of us than was required of ancient Israel? Are Christians to be less generous with their Redeemer than were the Jews?

“The sobering truth is that as a general rule, Christians have been much less generous than were the ancient Jews. To demonstrate this, let’s imagine that every church member in a particular Western country should suddenly lose all of his income and his property, to that he is dependent on government welfare. If from the meager portion of his income each one returned the tithe to the church, the church’s income in that country would amount to one-third more than it is now! Regrettably, the tithe has been neglected by Christians. Instead, churches have maintained themselves with raffles, charitable parties, dinners, renting of church property, and lotteries. Anything to avoid the plan of systematic giving outlined in the Bible! It’s not surprising that the work of the gospel is lagging.

“The system of tithes and offerings was given to us by our all-wise Creator to purge our innate selfishness. Jesus said, “ ‘Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also’ “ (Luke 12:34). Systematic benevolence helps us to take our eyes away from fleeting earthly treasures and store up our wealth in heaven.

“All of God’s requirements come with blessings promised to those who obey Him.” ‘Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. . . . [and] test me in this,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour our so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it’ “ (Malachi 3:10).

BLESSINGS FOR PAYING TITHE “There are many evidences that God keeps His promises. In the fertile province of Mendosa, in Argentina, a strong freeze was predicted during a summer that would normally have been very hot. The Soriano brothers, members of the local Adventist church, had been faithful in returning their tithes and offerings. They were naturally fearful for their eighty acres of tomatoes that were almost ready for harvest. Quite aware that the freeze would destroy everything, they gathered that night at the church for a special season of prayer. Imagine their joy the next morning when they discovered that, while their neighbors had lost their entire harvest, not one of their tomatoes had been touched by the freeze!

“A short time after a family in Missouri began returning their tithe, they received a gift of one hundred dollars. Although they had a great need of the entire amount for other things, they set aside ten dollars for the tithe. Soon they received another gift of exactly ten dollars. They paid the tithe on that, and soon after they received a letter with one dollar. They returned the tithe on that gift and almost immediately they found a dime! There was no doubt in their minds that God was trying to tell them that Christians never lose anything when they return to God what is His. THE SURPRISE OF TITHE “It has been said that he who begins tithing his income receives six surprises: (1) the amount of money he has to give to the Lord; (2) the growth in his spiritual life; (3) the ease with which he is able to meet all of his personal needs with the 90 percent that is left over; (4) the ease with which he is able to increase his giving to much larger amounts; (5) how this prepares him to be a wise and faithful steward of the 90 percent; and (6) his regret that he hadn’t adopted this plan much sooner.

“God has given us all the apples we need to provide for our own sustenance, plus one that He asks us to return to Him to show our gratitude for His blessings. If we truly love Him, we will gladly return to Him the largest and juiciest of our apples.

“Stewardship is a privilege that God has given us to increase our love for Him. Faithful stewards rejoice over the blessings others receive as a result of their generosity.

For further study: Genesis 28:20-22; Leviticus 27:30; Numbers 18:21; Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 3:9; Matthew 23:23.”

Leave young wildlife alone, WVDNR urges FRENCH CREEK – West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) personnel urge people to leave young wildlife alone because doing anything else is illegal, unsafe and often detrimental to the animal’s health.

“This season provides an excellent opportunity to observe the fawns, cubs and other young wildlife our state has to offer,” said Tyler Evans, a wildlife biologist at the West Virginia State Wildlife Center.

“It is especially important for the public to understand the need to avoid touching or disturbing these animals, as the

risks are considerable.”

Picking up wildlife or getting too close greatly increases the risk of harm to both the animal and human, Evans said.

By handling these animals, humans leave behind a scent that may attract a predator.

Additionally, handling wildlife can expose humans to a variety of parasites.

“Ticks, fleas and lice are just a few of the common threats that humans are immediately exposed to when they handle wild animals,” he said.

Zoonotic diseases are even more dangerous because they can be transmitted from an-

imals to humans, and these include Lyme Disease, which is caused by the bite of a black-legged (“deer”) tick.

Not surprisingly, these ticks are frequently encountered when handling fawns and other young animals.

Rabies, a viral disease that is nearly always fatal in humans when left untreated, is capable of infecting any mammal but is more commonly found in raccoons, skunks and foxes.

These animals are all commonly encountered by humans in West Virginia, especially in the spring when people decide to illegally possess and handle

the offspring of these animals.

Each year DNR offices receive numerous calls pertaining to fawns and other young wildlife that have been picked up by well-meaning individuals, but in the vast majority of these cases, the animals weren’t in any danger until they were picked up by the human.

Removal of a young animal from its natural environment will almost certainly lead to the death of that animal.

“Young animals have special dietary needs and must obtain survival skills that only a natural setting and parent can provide,” Evans said.

Offspring often are left behind while the adult searches for food, and this separation can last for several hours. “This separation should not be mistaken for abandonment.”

For example, many people mistake a bedded fawn, with no mother in sight, as abandoned, but that is rarely the case. Hiding the fawn while the doe searches for food is an important survival tactic.

The fawn’s spotted pattern and coloration, combined with its lack of scent, affords protection and makes them difficult for predators to detect.

As a final caution, remem-

ber that state law prohibits the possession of wildlife without a permit. When you pick up a young animal in the wild, you have taken it into your possession. Fines for illegal possession of wildlife range from $20 to $1,000 and/or up to 100 days in jail.

“We want everyone to enjoy our state’s wildlife,” Evans said. “However, for your safety and for that of the animal, please remember that young wildlife should always be left undisturbed and given the opportunity to remain wild.”

Oral rabies vaccine to be distributed

Oral Rabies Vaccine (ORV) baits contain rabies vaccine that will inoculate wild animals that eat it against rabies, thereby reducing the incidence of rabies in the area. ORV

will be dropped from planes in rural areas and distributed by hand in more densely populated places. The bait drops will take place between Aug. 22 and Sept. 5.

If you see baits, do not disturb them unless they are in an area where children or animals play. If you do move them, use gloves, a paper towel or plastic bag to move them

WVSOS to feature booth at State Fair Summer’s greatest tradition is back with the opening of the 2019 State Fair of West Virginia, which will take place Aug. 8 to 17 at the State Fairgrounds in Fairlea. On behalf of the West Virginia Secretary of State’s Office, I would like to invite everyone to attend what is truly one of the highlights of the summer, not only for West Virginians but for countless others from around our nation and the world.

As always, those attending the fair will have an opportunity to speak with various West Virginia government agencies.

The Secretary of State’s Office will host its own booth in the West Virginia Building throughout the entire fair. If you need to register to vote, change your party affiliation, update your address or just have general questions to be answered about the election process, members of our staff will be there to assist you.

We also have something special in mind for the young folks who stop by our booth this year. Kids will be invited to vote! The Secretary of State’s Office designed a special ballot just for elementary-aged children attending the fair.

They will get to choose for their favorite cartoon characters, super heroes and fair foods, just to name a few. On the last day, Secretary Warner will announce the 2019 State Fair Winners. We see this fun

ballot as a great way to get youngsters interested in the election process.

Families with children who plan on attending the fair can download the ballot and bring it with them to our booth, or pick one up when they visit.

Information will also be available on the various other services handled by the Secretary Of State’s Office, including business registration, charity information and more. We will even have the great seal of West Virginia on hand, allowing those who stop by our table to experience an example of what happens after a bill becomes law. No law is “official” until it has our seal on it.

On Thursday, Aug. 15, Secretary Warner and other statewide elected officials will be at the fair for Governor’s Day ceremony and activities.

All of us at the Secretary of State’s office are proud to support the State Fair. We take great pride in the fair’s storied history, which began well over a century ago before West Virginia was even considered a state. In fact, our nation’s Declaration of Independence was a mere 78 years old when the first fair was held!

In 1854, the Greenbrier Agricultural Society of Virginia began the practice of organizing and conducting an annual fair where agricultural accomplishments could

be displayed. Known as the “Greenbrier Valley Fair,” the first was held on approximately two acres of land at the corner of Washington and Lee Streets in Lewisburg. As the event grew, the state of what had since become West Virginia started to take notice.

In 1941, the Legislature passed an act officially renaming the annual affair the “State Fair of West Virginia.” Due to World War II, however, the new fair was put on a bit of a hiatus.

In 1946, it made a triumphant return, much to the delight of eager attendees. The fair saw continued growth over the next several decades with the addition of the racetrack, grandstand and the other nostalgic features we still enjoy to this day.

For our office, the State Fair is a great way to meet and talk with thousands of West Virginians interested in their state government. Stop by and see us at our booth in the air-conditioned West Virginia Building.

For more information about the State Fair of West Virginia, visit www.statefairofwv. com or call (304) 645-1090.

to an area where wildlife can find it. ORV baits ingested by pets will not harm them, but if they eat too many, they can get an upset stomach. Also, keeping pets away from the

baits makes it more likely that it will be found by raccoons, skunks and foxes, which can contract rabies that can harm or kill pets and people if they are bitten or scratched and

not treated.
