Special Tax Credits Lewis County man up for local grabs charged with

firearms violations

By Shannon Cunningham-Snead Central WV Community Action, Inc. Executive Director

WESTON — I’m not only a proud leader of Central WV Community Action, I am also a proud donor. I hope you will join me in supporting the agency’s year end campaign for our Lewis County program, and I hope you will help me spread the word as well. As a bonus right now, donors can receive a WV Tax Credit worth half of the value of the donation! These Tax Credits can be applied to reduce personal or corporate tax liabilities. For example, a $500 gift = $250 WV tax credit, $1,000 gift = $500 tax credit, etc., and the full donation is an eligible federal tax deduction. The agency was awarded these competitive tax credits through the WV Neighborhood Investment Program (NIP). The agency has approximately $3,500 of remaining NIP tax credits to issue. The real difference: NIP donations/credits support the agency’s Lewis County case management services to assist

adults in their effort to become, or remain, financially self-sufficient. Customers work with a case manager to create a household budget and form a strategy for moving forward, including employment goals. All NIP donations help purchase gasoline for customers to get to work, necessary uniforms (scrubs, steel-toe boots, khaki pants, etc.), certification and licensing fees required for work, etc. In some cases, customers may receive help with utilities or minor car repairs during times of transition. The big picture: The mission of Central WV Community Action, Inc. is to provide pathways to economic independence for families by leading community initiatives that address the root causes of poverty. In addition to the Community Services case management initiative, the agency offers Head Start, Transportation, Financial Education, Housing, Utility Assistance and Food programs. Visit www.centralwvaction. org to learn more. To make a gift or to learn more about the NIP credits, please contact me at Shannon@cwvcaa.org, 304-6228495 office, or 304-517-9365 mobile.

West Virginia kicks off poster art contest for Arbor Day 2020

PHOTO SUBMITTED

Shown is the winning fifth grade entry for the 2018 Arbor Day poster contest.

CHARLESTON — West Virginia fourth and fifth grade students can showcase their artistic talents by creating posters for the 2020 Arbor Day contest. The contest is presented by the West Virginia Division of Forestry, the Urban & Community Forestry Council and the West Virginia Forestry Association. Each year a theme is chosen for the poster. The 2020 theme is “Trees Are Terrific ... in the Right Place.” “This contest gives stu-

dents an opportunity to learn about the environmental benefits of trees,” Division of Forestry Partnership Coordinator Andy Sheetz said. “This year’s theme draws attention to the hazards of growing a tree in a space that is wrong for it, such as under power lines.” Teachers can request a free educational guide from the Division of Forestry. The guide includes in-depth lesson plans, hands-on activities and contest information. “The teachers can use

the guide to teach children about the subject before the students make their posters,” Sheetz said. Each school may submit one entry for fourth grade and one for fifth grade. Entries must be postmarked by March 2, 2020. A state winner will be selected from the fourth grade and fifth grade poster entries. The educational activity guide, contest rules, and other information are available online at https:// wvforestry.com/arbor-dayin-schools/, by contacting the

Division of Forestry at 304382-9574, Andy.I.Sheetz@ wv.gov, or by mail at 7 Players Club Drive, Charleston, WV 25311. The West Virginia Division of Forestry celebrates April as Arbor Month to encourage communities to use the entire spring planting season to conduct tree plantings. National Arbor Day takes place April 24, 2020. Arbor

Day has taken place each year since 1872 to celebrate the importance of trees and to encourage tree planting.

This week in West Virginia history CHARLESTON – The following events happened on these dates in West Virginia history. To read more, go to e-WV: The West Virginia Encyclopedia at www.wvencyclopedia.org. Dec. 25, 2002: Jack Whittaker, a Putnam County contractor, won the $314.9 million Powerball jackpot. At the time, it was the largest single lottery jackpot in history. Dec. 26, 1917: Instrument maker Harold M. Hayslett was born in Putnam County. Hayslett’s violins, violas and cellos have received awards for tone and workmanship, and are cherished by collectors and players alike. Dec. 27, 1797: The county seat of Ohio County was moved from West Liberty to Wheeling. Dec. 28, 1879: Brigadier General Billy Mitchell was born in France. As chief of the Army Air Force, Mitchell ordered aircraft of the 88th Squadron to perform reconnaissance during the 1921 Miners’ March on Logan. Dec. 28, 1978: The last trains ran on the Greenbrier Division, a branch line of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway. Unlike most C&O branches in West Virginia, the Greenbrier Division was not a coal-hauling line but served the valley’s timber industry.

ered to celebrate his success with him. Erika Morrison, Wright’s Drug Court Probation Officer, couldn’t be any prouder of his outcome. “This is why I do what I do, and it’s a rewarding experience to see those come out on top and fight something that’s been a part of their life for so long,” she explained. Morrison mentioned that there are a lot of misconceptions about the program and acknowledged that that the judicial system and these program participants don’t always have the best reputation. But despite how many may feel, Morrison and her colleagues hope to convey a better understanding of this treatment program because “there is a positive light that we have to the judicial system,” she stated. The Drug Court Treatment Program was initiated in August of 2015, incorporating a combination of strict supervision through probation and intensive substance abuse treatment. Morrison explained that not only do they help people to become drug free, but they also get participants to invest in recovery and remain invested, thereby eliminating recidivism and creating productive members of society. “We have had people reconnected with their children and their families. A lot of times they are getting their driver’s license back or obtaining housing for themselves in the program, and are required to have a full-time job,” Morrison stated. “We also just recently had an individual who received her high school diploma; that was a main objective for her. The majority of people that end up going to prison, you see the back in the criminal justice system and back in prison again. The idea is that through this program, they never do that again. We can treat them and treat the addiction, and hope to curb that lifestyle.” She also mentioned that among the individuals who have successfully completed the program, graduated and completed probation, she has yet to see any of them convicted of new felonies. Wright said he has battled an 11-yearlong drug addiction and has never truly been in recovery until now, acknowledging that this is the longest he has ever been sober. “Faith, dedication, hard work and being real with yourself, and being honest – you have to work at it, and you can accomplish anything,” said Wright. He said he was overwhelmed and very thankful for all the support he has received along the way. “This is a huge step for me. The first big step in recovery for the rest of my life,” Wright stated.

and infrastructure investment. Representatives were asked to come prepared to discuss specific examples of how the following topics impact West Virginia’s member counties: Community Revitalization and Rural Prosperity: The Trump Administration is committed to empowering local communities through innovative approaches to urban revitalization and rural prosperity. Examples of this approach include Opportunity Zones, USDA’s ReCONNECT Loan and Grant Program, and DOT’s ROUTES Initiative. This discussion will focus on streamlining and aligning Federal, State, and local resources, identifying challenges, and highlighting successes and solutions. Mental Health and Criminal Justice Reform: Untreated serious mental illness is a major contributing factor to incidents of violence, addiction, homeless, and to the diversion of law enforcement and correctional resources.

it recognizes that full border security is the bedrock of any functioning immigration system and proposes functional, operational, and structural reforms to strengthen America’s border infrastructure and laws. Second, it creates a new merit-based legal immigration system that protects American wages and safety net programs, prioritizes immediate families, and creates a fair and transparent process for immigration to America. Deregulation (Initiative on Regulatory Innovation): In his first week in office, President Trump issued a challenge to his Administration: For every new regulation introduced, 2 old ones must be cut. The result to date, Federal agencies issued 372 deregulatory actions and only 44 new significant regulatory actions, far exceeding the 2:1 goal with an 8.5:1 ratio for deregulatory to significant regulatory actions. In October, President Donald Trump announced the Initiative on Regulatory Innovation. The Initiative builds on the Administration’s deregulatory success and momentum with an eye towards States

and local government. The Initiative will engage State, local, and tribal leaders on three overarching priorities: (i) reducing the number of regulations and associated costs, (ii) better aligning State and Federal regulations, and (iii) advancing occupational licensing reform. While the Initiative is broad, specific focus areas include – Occupational Licensing Reform Transforming America’s Communities through Smarter Regulations (i.e. reducing regulatory barriers to affordable housing, advancing opportunity zones, deploying broadband, etc.) Accelerating Infrastructure & Energy Deployment through Permitting Reform & Alignment Putting Citizens Over Paperwork -- Reducing the Volume and Costs of Regulations (i.e. two-for-one goals or reduction of paperwork burdens for small businesses, reducing regulatory burdens increasing healthcare costs, etc.)

Administration are committed to delivering 21st century mental health treatment to address these issues and to supporting impacted persons. In partnership with States, the Trump Administration has granted 27 State institution for mental disease (IMD) exclusion Medicaid waivers for substance use disorder (SUD) treatment, and recently granted the first serious mental illness (SMI) and/or serious emotional disturbance Medicaid waiver to Washington, D.C. with several States expected to follow soon. This discussion will focus on how the Federal government can drive improvements in responding to SMI at the State and local level and highlight State and local innovation and successes. Immigration Modernization and Infrastructure Investment: In May, President Trump outlined an immigration plan that will turn America’s broken immigration system from a source of national division into a point of pride and national unity. The President’s plan consists of two parts: First,

Upshur, Wa y n e , and Wood counties. “The goal of this policy is to provide needed employment and training opportunities for those defined as an ABAWD in the identified counties,” said Linda Watts, Commissioner of DHHR’s Bureau for Children and Families. “The counties selected for this program have the lowest unemployment rates in West Virginia, which indicates an economic environment conducive to workforce re-entry.” In order to maintain SNAP benefit eligibility, recipients in the selected counties, age 18 but not yet 50 years old, who have no dependent children,

m u s t either qualify for an exemption or consistently participate in a work or educational activity for a monthly average of 20 hours per week. A participant’s failure to meet the work or educational activity requirements will result in a loss of SNAP benefits. SNAP recipients in these counties will be exempted from the work or educational activity requirement if they meet one of the following exemptions: receiving SNAP benefits with an individual under the age of 18; working 30 hours per week or earning $217.50 per week; receiving unemploy-

ment compensation; regularly participating in a drug addiction or alcoholic treatment and rehabilitation program; responsible for caring for an incapacitated adult; medically certified as unfit for work; receiving veteran disability income; or currently at least a half-time student. DHHR is partnering with WorkForce West Virginia to offer the SNAP Employment and Training Program to assist SNAP recipients who must meet the work requirement. To accommodate these individuals, DHHR will collaborate with WorkForce Development Boards to help with placement in an educational activity, a work-related program to prepare for employment, or to gain employment. USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer.

GSC to offer Certificate in Geographic Information Systems

Christmas kitties looking for furever homes By Tara Kennedy Editor

GSC student Jacob Petry flies a drone outside the GSC Department of Land Resources classrooms at the Waco Center GLENVILLE — The Glenville State College Department of Land Resources has introduced a new online certificate in Geographic Information System (GIS). The online certificate will prepare students for work in the GIS industry with a focus on mapping, visualization, and the processing and analysis of geospatial data. Geospatial technology is a field that involves global positioning systems, geographical information systems and remote sensing. This technology offers an innovative way to combine information and maps to produce informational tools to help manage communities, the environment, and natural resources and industries. The certificate is designed for traditional students outside of the Department of Land Resources, non-traditional students, and those who are already in the workforce to enhance skills, advance their careers, and increase competitiveness within the growing field. Faculty will work collaboratively with industry partners to develop hands-on projects and experiential learning that simulate real-world solutions to industry problems. “Glenville State College desires to increase access to its programs and opportunities on a greater level through offering online programs,” said Department Chair and professor, Dr. Rico Gazal. “We are happy to announce that the new online certificate in GIS will be available in fall 2020. The GIS certificate program will cater to both traditional and non-traditional students to have access to the program without having to be on the GSC campus to take a course.” The program, which totals twelve credit hours, includes courses in GIS applications I and II, computer-assisted mapping, remote sensing and aerial photo interpretation, and drone technology. The drone course will review materials that are utilized in the FAA Small Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) Remote Pilot Knowledge Test necessary to obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate, in addition to hands-on drone or UAS flying experience For more information about the Land Resources academic programs at Glenville State College, contact the Department of Land Resources at (304) 462-6370.

BUCKHANNON — The Lewis-Upshur Animal Control Facility needs help finding furever homes for Pudgy and Garvin. Volunteers from Luv 4 Animals and The Animal Outreach Project would also like to encourage pet owners to make accommodations for cold weather by ensuring their outdoor animals have sufficient housing and bedding. Please contact these groups on Facebook if you need assistance. Pudgy is a domestic long-haired tabby cat. She is six years old and has not been spayed yet, but rescue groups are willing to assist. Pudgy sadly ended up at the pound when her owner passed away. She loves attention from the staff, and would really like another nice, quiet home for the rest of her years. Garvin is a domestic short-haired orange tabby cat. He is approximately six years old and has not been neutered

yet, but assistance is available. Garvin is very sweet and loves attention, so you will fall in love when you meet him. These sweet Christmas kitties, as well as many other loving cats and dogs, are available for adoption at the Lewis-Upshur Animal Control Facility located on Mud Lick Road in Buckhannon, so stop by and find the perfect pet for your family. Adopt, don’t shop! L-UAC is always in need of volunteers if you are looking for a rewarding and worthwhile cause to assist. Donations of food and pet supplies are always welcome.
