CHARLESTON — Delegate Patrick Martin, R-Lewis, has been recognized by House Clerk Steve Harrison for having a 100-percent voting record during his three years of service in the House of Delegates.

Delegate Martin has the distinction of having recorded a vote in each of the 1,931 roll call votes during the 2017, 2018 and 2019 regular legislative sessions – not missing a single roll-called vote on a bill, motion or amendment since being elected to the House in late 2016.

“I was sent by the people of the 46th District to be their voice in Charleston, and I have taken that solemn duty very seriously,” Delegate Martin said. “No matter the issue, I’m committed to making sure the best interests of the people of my district are represented. I don’t shy away from tough votes, or skip floor sessions for social events.

The people of the 46th District sent me to Charleston to work hard on their behalf, and my perfect voting record reflects how seriously I take my legislative duties.”

On Oct. 24, Clerk Harrison presented Delegate Martin with a certificate recognizing his 100-percent voting record on the 758 roll call votes during the 2019 regular session.

Delegate Martin has received similar certificates for the past two years for his 100-percent voting record on the 568 roll call votes during the 2018 regular session and the 605 roll call votes during the 2017 regular session.

The drones were purchased through a SPARK Grant. The team recently competed in a competition at Salem University.

By John Clise Editor Members of the Lewis County Board of Education met with members of the Jane Lew Elementary School Local School Improvement Council before their regularly scheduled meeting earlier this week learning much from Jane Lew

Elementary School Principal Denise Sprouse.

With a majority of the 294 students attending 93.7 percent of their classes Sprouse said educators are working with students to be sure all students are working towards success in the classroom.

To that end, mathematics is taught for at least 60 minutes

each day at the school.

After attending a model school schools conference, teachers have been asked to keep a data portfolio on each student with the older students having a bigger say in what goes in the binder, and bigger stake in their academic progress.

According to Sprouse, each

student can see how their progress is either improving, staying the same or decreasing through the use of the portfolios.

The older students, especially, have a bigger role in completing the standards based assessments which allows them to “take ownership of progress.”

By John Clise Editor LEWIS COUNTY — Ghouls and goblins will take to the streets in Lewis County, Weston and Jane Lew tomorrow evening from 6 to 7 p.m.

Law enforcement officials remind drivers to be mindful of treat seekers while out driving. Also, parents and caregivers should be sure to keep an eye on their youngsters while they are out seeking treats.

magistrate case

ELKINS – U.S. Judge Thomas S. Kleeh has approved a non-prosecution agreement in the case regarding indicted Lewis Magistrate Roger D. ”Rob” Clem Jr., 47, of Weston, and Gilmer Magistrate Alton L. Skinner II, 58, of Sand Fork.

A few weeks ago, Kleeh said he wouldn’t accept the agreements because of the unique nature of the case, adding that he couldn’t find any case where a deferred prosecution agreement had involved public officials and notied the two were in a position of public trust and betrayed that trust.

Under the terms of this agreements, Clem and Skinner will not serve jail time, must resign from their position as magistrate, agree to not seek elective office again, and pay a $1,000 fine.

The new agreement was made, according to court documents, pursuant to Rule 48(a) which states the motion should be decided “by determining whether the acting prosecutor acted in good faith at the time he moved for dismissal. A motion that is not motivated by

SATURDAY Mostly Sunny 53/31

bad faith is not clearly contrary to manifest public interest, and it must be granted.”

In the case investigated

by Jeff Shriner, agent for the West Virginia Commission on Special Investigations, and the IRS, Clem and Skinner were indicted on one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and wire fraud, two counts of wire fraud, two counts of mail fraud and one count of obstruction of justice. Skinner was also charged with one count of false statement to a federal agent.

The charges involve E-Z Out LLC, based in Sand Fork, which is an authorized bonding company in Lewis County, the government has alleged.

According to company records, E-Z Out is operated solely by Alton Skinner’s spouse and employs Skinner’s son as an authorized bonding agent, U.S. Attorney Bill Powell’s office stated.

Clem was accused of taking favorable actions in court for E-Z Out, including setting unnecessary surety bonds. He See Magistrate on Page 5

LEWIS COUNTY COMMUNITY GUIDE

Page 5

FROM THE COVER

BOE from Page 1

Toys from Page 1

Another program the school is utilizing the Dream Catchers program which is a variation on the school’s mascot name.

Using Dream as an acronym, students are encouraged to be Disciplines, Respectful, Excellent, Accountable, and Mindful.

There are a number of subheadings under each main topic including facing forward in line, raising your hand if you need help, saying please and thank you, follow directions, keeping your area clean, holding your lunch tray with two hands, keep hands and feet to yourself, take all of your belongings with you, help others as needed, and give others personal space, among others.

Sprouse noted that Community Care has a counselor at the school all day Wednesday and half a day Thursday to help students dealing with a variety of mental health issues they may be experiencing.

She further noted there are still students on a waiting list for those mental health services.

Community Care also has a health clinic on scene at the school each Thursday to work with students on their physical health to address any issues they may be having.

Sprouse also said that teachers and administrators at the school were working with parents to help become more involved in their child’s education with a concentration of truly being part of the educational process rather than just being involved in a passive manner.

During their regular meeting, board members approved the upcoming levy call for the upcoming excess levy election set for Feb. 8, 2020 with corrections as well as agreeing to Superintendent Dr. Robin Lewis’ recommendation to expel a student.

Board members were given a short presentation from the Lewis County High School Drone Team regarding their recent participation at an event at Salem University.

The purchase of the drones came through a SPARK Grant. Each drone cost $250 and allows students to explore the practical uses of drones for business and science.

After a 27 minute executive session to conduct a student expulsion hearing board members entered back into regular session at 7:57 p.m. to uphold Dr. Lewis’ recommendation to expel student 19-20TT. No other information, cause or length of suspension was given in regards to the hearing.

Dr. Lewis also noted to board members that law enforcement, administrators and staff had debriefed on the recent bomb threat incident at Robert L. Bland Middle School on what went well and what didn’t and how to improve the process.

Dr. Lewis also noted that the school system should brace for possible mid-year budget cuts due to a shortfall in revenue on the state level. She noted school systems do have protections in state code, and that nothing was written in stone, it was just a reminder to be prepared.

Gilmer, Braxton residents admit to roles in a meth operation

CLARKSBURG – Kisha Starr Riggs, of Glenville, West Virginia, and Duncan Currie Canter, of Burnsville, West Virginia, have admitted to their involvement in methamphetamine distribution operation, U.S. Attorney Bill Powell announced.

Riggs, age 31, and Can-

ter, age 25, each pled guilty to one count of “Aiding and Abetting Distribution of Methamphetamine in Proximity to a Protected Location.”

Riggs and Canter admitted to selling methamphetamine near Glenville State College in September 2018 in Gilmer County.

Riggs and Canter each face at least one year and up to 40 years incarceration and a fine of up to $2,000,000. Under the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, the actual sentence imposed will be based upon the seriousness of the offenses and the prior criminal history, if any, of the defendant.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon S. Flower is prosecuting the cases on behalf of the government. The Mountain Lakes Drug & Violent Crimes Task Force investigated.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Michael John Aloi presided.

Halloween from Page 1 all candy with wrappers that are faded, torn, unwrapped or partially wrapped. If children have dinner before heading out to trick-or-treat, they may be less likely to eat the candy before it is inspected.

Only eat homemade treats from people you know.

Do not store Halloween candy near medicine of any kind. Children can easily mistake medicine for candy.

Eating too much candy can cause stomach aches and diarrhea from an overload of sweeteners.

Small, hard pieces of candy can be a choking hazard for young children. Throw away any candy that is not age appropriate.

Chocolate can be poisonous for dogs, as can sugar-free gum. Store candy where pets cannot get to it.

When it comes to costumes, think safety. Only paint faces with paint labeled as being non-toxic and for use on the face.

Glow sticks, glow necklaces, and glow bracelets are great as long as the liquid does not leak. Make sure glow products children are using are not leaking and that they do not put them into their mouths.

Avoid the use of costume jewelry. Products made outside of the U.S. may contain lead which can be harmful if swallowed. If the decision to use costume jewelry is made, make sure it is intact before it is put on and after it is taken off. Do not let children suck on it or put it in their mouth. Do not allow children to play with it after Halloween is over.

When it comes to being sure or not sure is candy may be poisoned or not, always weigh your decision on the side of safety.

“Halloween and trick-or-treating is a time of excitement for children. Unfortunately, many poisonings occur when a person’s normal routines are disrupted,” says Carissa McBurney, Community Outreach Coordinator for the West Virginia Poison Center. Call the medical experts at the West Virginia Poison Center at 1-800-222-122 with questions regarding all Halloween poisoning concerns. If you suspect a poisoning, call the WVPC immediately; do not wait for symptoms to appear.

Magistrate from Page 1 also is accused of calling Skinner to arrange the bond of a detainee without presenting a list of authorized bonding companies to the detainee.

Skinner would allegedly arrange for his spouse or son, as agents of E-Z Out, to be present at the arraignment of a detainee without the detainee’s informed choice of E-Z Out among other authorized bonding companies, the government contends.

The investigators and Assistant U.S. Attorney Jarod Douglas accused Clem and Skinner of causing payments via electronic transmission that traveled outside West Virginia.

The two were also accused of mailing a contract and checks between Skinner’s spouse and Dave Bourne Bail Bonds Inc. in Virginia, which is the general agent of the underwriter for E-Z Out. Both magistrates allegedly attempted to obstruct or impede the grand jury investigation. Skinner also allegedly made false statements to a special agent from the Internal Revenue Service Special Investigation Unit.

Clise’s Cornucopia

By John Clise Editor I was listening to some music the other day, and it occurred to me that some of the lyrics aren’t the same as what I have been hearing.

Some of those I’ve been mishearing for decades.

I always heard the lyric from the Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart “Livin’ in a powder keg and puttin’ off sparks” as “”lookin’ at a frog’s leg at the city park.”

I’m not sure how I misheard that lyric so wrong. Also, I don’t know why I didn’t look it up sooner. I didn’t check it out online until last year.

I never heard the lyric this way but I had a few friends who heard the Bruno Mars Lyric from Uptown Funk as “better than a freeze dried hippie” when it really says “smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy.” That one really cracks me up good.

This one is especially funny to me. Seems more like a parody than an actual misheard lyric. “Sweet dreams are made of cheese” from The Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams (are made of this)’. The lyric is actually “Sweet dreams are made of these.” I remember watching that video on Night Tracks on TBS otherwise at the time known as “The Superstation.”

That was Ted Turner’s baby down in Atlanta.

I never really did hear this one before, but I do remember the song and its role in the 1979 World Series. Pirates took that one from the Orioles four games to three I believe.

I was sort of rooting for the Orioles because I had met Eddie Murray just a year before through my cousin. He was a super nice guy when I met him. I thought Jim Palmer was a great pitcher.

In the end I was happy to see Willie Stargell win a World Series and get a ring. Pops was great to watch. He was a first ballot hall of famer and played his entire career with the Pirates. That’s a rarity in pro sports these days.

Anyway, back to the song lyrics.

A lot of people heard the lyric from We are Family by Sisiter Sledge, the anthem of the 1979 Prates as “Let me just staple the vicar” when the correct lyric is actually “Just let me state for the record.”

Here a few more you might find funny or may have even heard.

“All the lonely Starbucks lovers”. Correct lyric: “Got a long list of ex-lovers” from Taylor Swift’s ‘Blank Space’.

“I can see clearly now, Lorraine is gone”. Correct lyric: “I can see clearly now, the rain is gone” from Johnny Nash’s ‘I can see clearly now’.

“Gimme Gimme Gimme a man after midnight, take me to the doctors at the break of the day”. Correct lyric: “Take me through the darkness to the break of the day” from ABBA’s ‘Gimme Gimme Gimme’.

“Poppadom Peach”. Correct lyric: “Papa don’t preach” from Madonna’s ‘Papa don’t preach’.

“It doesn’t make a difference if we’re naked or not”.

Correct lyric: “It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not” from Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’.

“Every time you go away, you take a piece of meat with you”. Correct lyric: “Every time you go away take a piece of me with you” from Paul Young’s ‘Every Time You Go Away’.

“Sue Lawley”. Correct lyric: “So lonely” from The Police’s ‘So Lonely’.

“We built this city on sausage rolls”. Correct lyric: “We built this city on rock ‘n’ roll” from Starship’s ‘We Built This City’.

“Saving his life from this warm sausage tea”. Correct lyric: “Spare him his life from this monstrosity” from Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’.

“See that girl, watch her scream, kicking the dancing queen”. Correct lyric: “See that girl, watch that scene, dig in the dancing queen” from ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’.

“Excuse me while I kiss this guy”. Correct lyric: “Excuse me while I kiss the sky” from Jimi Hendrix’s ‘Purple Haze’.

“Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tangerine”. Correct lyric: “Dancing queen, feel the beat from the tambourine” from ABBA’s ‘Dancing Queen’.

“Calling Jamaica”. Correct lyric: “Call me when you try to wake her” from REM’s ‘The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite’.

COMMUNITY

By Pat Ridpath Community Columnist

Pat’s Chat

The following is a note I received on Facebook from Lisa Crutchfield Spears, the daughter of one of my former gradeschool teachers and principal at Burnsville School. Here is what she wrote: “I wanted to share something in hope that it can help someone else. I consider myself healthy but for the last few weeks I’ve had a slight discomfort in my chest area. It felt like your lungs can feel when you walk in the cold.

That’s the only thing I can think to describe it. It was very mild though and not painful. It was Intermittent and seemed to happen most of the time when I exerted myself but not always.

I never felt out of breath or even really felt that bad. Since I kept putting off calling the Dr., Mark called (We have the same GP) to see if I could take his appointment that was this past Wednesday. Our Dr said he needed to take me to the ER because my symptoms were concerning. Once at the ER, I was admitted and given test

after test over the next several days. My ekgs were normal. My blood work looked good, I even did great on the treadmill stress test. It was the scanner which is part of the nuclear stress test when I was diagnosed with a heart flow problem and a Heart Cath was scheduled. . I am still in shock at the results. I had a 90 % blockage in one of my arteries. I was told I was very lucky I came in when I did. I had a stent put in yesterday and am finally at home with a very grateful heart. Please (and this includes men) if you have the slightest unusual feeling in your chest, arm, leg etc., go and get it checked out. I’m so thankful to Mark for making me : ).

Then I wrote a message to request to use her note in my Chat and this is her reply: “Lisa Crutchfield Spears Patricia Wiant Ridpath Absolute-

ly, please do share. If anyone has any questions on any of the tests I had, I’ll be glad to answer them. I really want people to be aware that symptoms of heart disease can be very Subtle and check ups are key, especially if you are feeling something out of the ordinary. Thanks for all the good work you do. : )” Please be aware of your own body and get a check-up when you have out-of-the-ordinary symptoms! Thank you, Lisa Spears.

Our church experienced a good, old-fashioned Fall Festival yesterday afternoon and evening. Sheri Sapp and friends decorated the barn beautifully, some of the neighborhood newcomers came to join us, and friends from the Senior Center Singing Seniors helped by bringing their instruments and songs. The cattle came in from all around, moo-ing along to the fence,

getting as close to the party as possible as if asking to be included, or at least given a snack. A tiny little owl flew in and perched on a “yoke” up on the barn wall to view the happenings for almost the entire evening. (Jerry Heckert said it was a “yoke.” I thought it was a limb attached to the wall. See picture.) We were blessed with a clear afternoon following the morning rain. The wind was cool and it was too windy for us to risk a bonfire. The soup, chili and hotdogs, chips and dessert warmed us up. Until sundown, we enjoyed singing, then eating together. Many went on a hayride on bales of hay in a wagon pulled by a tractor driven by Jerry Heckert.

Pictures 1.) Some, but not all of the attendees posed for a picture. 2.) The “band” includes (l to r) Rick Cutright, Roy Waybright, Glenn Yerkey (partly hidden behind the music stand – he sings very well!), Jim and James Vance. 3.)

Maranatha

For the first time in political history a backroom process is being used to remove a dually elected President of the United States.

This process is all very one-sided because the President is not allowed to have his legal counsel present, he’s not allowed to cross-examine witnesses, and he’s not allowed to offer counter-evidence.

Republicans are also barred from calling witnesses.

In our country, you are

innocent until proven guilty.

It is one of the cornerstones of our judicial system. Nancy Pelosi and her Democrat allies in Congress believe you are guilty until proven innocent.

As the son of a Cuban immigrant, who fled to our country after being thrown into jail by tyrant Fidel Castro, I am deeply disturbed that Speaker Pelosi is ignoring the rule of law and basic judicial rights.

It should alarm every American that even the Pres-

ident of the United States does not have the ability to defend himself properly against these baseless accusations.

After a press conference to expose this flawed process, I joined dozens of my colleagues in entering the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) where Chairman Adam Schiff has been conducting impeachment hearings lacking fairness and transparency.

The American people and

the press have a right to know what is going on in these secret hearings.

Once inside, we surrendered our electronic devices and the hearing was delayed by the Chairman. Using an adjoining room, I was able to use a secure landline phone to call out and report back what exactly was happening.

I will continue to stand with President Donald Trump and fight back against this foolhardy effort.

Charleston Mayor hosted leadership event on learning events

Charleston — Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin, in coordination with the West Virginia Statewide Afterschool Network through the West Virginia University Extension Service, hosted a Statewide Leadership Roundtable on Afterschool and Summer Learning Opportunities at the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center on October 24, 2019. Key state and local stakeholders convened to bring greater awareness to the importance of and need for increased afterschool programs and collaborate on a plan to support the growth of programs across the state.

“Afterschool programs offer our youth structured handson activities and experiences that can teach youth new skills, boost academic performance and encourage physical activity,” said Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin. “Together, we are working to identify programs for students and quality out-of-school options for our West Virginia families.”

The group discussed how quality afterschool programs can serve as a strategy to address the needs of West Virginia communities—including workforce development, developing social skills, supporting public safety and addressing traumas youth may face due to factors such as substance use disorder.

“Afterschool programs keep kids safe, inspire them to learn and give working parents peace of mind that their children are safe, supervised and learning after the school day ends. Working together, we can expand afterschool programs so that every young person has access to a quality, affordable program in West Virginia,” said Susan Gamble, Director of the West Virginia Statewide Afterschool Network through the West Virginia University Extension Service.

The information learned during this roundtable will help ensure continued conversation as it relates to the development and increase of afterschool programs throughout the state October 24th is also Lights On Afterschool Day, a national public awareness campaign built to bring attention to the importance and value of afterschool programs. This year is the 20th anniversary of Lights On Afterschool.

In celebration, approximately 80 Lights On Afterschool events are taking place across West Virginia in October.

Wesleyan Bruhns Scholar Spends Summer in Thialand

BUCKHANNON - West Virginia Wesleyan College student Maggie Lohman participated in a summer study abroad program, spending six weeks in Thailand.

Thanks to a generous gift from Dr. E. Maxine Moose Bruhns ’45 Hon. ’07, the E. Maxine Moose Bruhns Summer Study Abroad Scholarship provided funding for Lohman and three other students to participate in an international educational experiences.

Lohman enrolled through the University Studies Abroad Consortium (USAC) at Khon Kaen University (KKU). Located in the heart of northeast Thailand, this study abroad program combines KKU professors with those from the US to teach health, wellness and culture.

Lohman is in her senior year majoring in English literature at Wesleyan. Throughout the program period, Lohman enrolled in courses including an introduction to Thai language, global health issues, and the history of greater Mekong sub region. In addition, she also had the opportunity to volunteer with storytelling in the pediatric cancer ward of Srinagarind Hospital. “It was

amazing to be in a setting where I could still connect with others despite the fact that most of the people in the room did not speak my language,” Lohman said. “I will always remember the smiles of the patients as we colored and sang with them. It was humbling to see how joyous they were in the face of serious health fights.

It inspired me and showed me that even if we do not speak the same language, it is still possible to connect with others and that smiles can sometimes be the best medicine. “ “My travel experiences and the classes reaffirmed my desire to pursue a career in law. After graduation, I hope to go to law school and concentrate in international human rights law. I would like to eventually have a job that allows me to work with immigrants and refugees or in genocide prevention.”

When asked how this experience has impacted her outside of the classroom, Lohman replied, “Being away from home gave me a greater appreciation for the opportunities and experiences I have had, and an even deeper love for West Virginia.”
