VFW Post #1976 is participating in a local and national essay contest for Lewis County high school and middle school students to possibly earn scholarship money and potentially earn national recognition for their efforts.

According to Jay Burkhart, #1976 post member, there are two levels of competition this year. On for high school students and one for middle school students.

The high school competition is in audio form, while the middle school competition, being supervised by Heath Schrader, VFW Post #1976 president, is a written completion.

Since 1947, the Voice of Democracy has been the Veterans of Foreign Wars’ (VFW’s) premier scholarship program. Each year, nearly 40,000 high school students compete for more than $2 million in scholarships and incentives. Students compete by writing and recording an audio essay on an annual patriotic theme. This year’s theme is, What Makes America Great.

The Voice of Democracy is open to students in grades 9-12 by the Oct. 31 deadline, who are enrolled in a public, private or parochial high school or home study program in the United States, its territories and possessions; or in an overseas U.S. military/civilian dependent school.

What do high school students need to do to participate?

Record your original 3-5 minute (+ or – 5 seconds max.) essay on an audio CD or a flash drive. One student per CD or flash drive. When burning your CD, make sure that “Create Audio CD” option (or similar) is selected so

Annual SJMH Golf Tourney Planned for Thurs., Oct. 17

The annual Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital William Adler Charity Golf Tournament will be held on Thurs., Oct. 17, at Stonewall Resort.

The tournament provides tens of thousands of dollars to local students who are pursuing higher education in the healthcare industry. In the 2019 school year, more than twenty students received $1,000 for the school year. Since its inception the scholarship has given over $240,000 for higher education.

“We have students attending Wesleyan, Marshall, WVU, Pierpont, Fairmont State and radiology schools,” said Crystal Frazier, co-chair of the SJMH scholarship program.

“All of the money that we make at the golf tournament goes directly to the students. We take out nothing for overhead.

The money is strictly for the students.”

Other scholarship committee members include Bruce Adler and Julia Spelsberg.

High school seniors attending school in Lewis and Gilmer Counties are eligible to apply for the scholarship. Children of SJMH parents and grandparents are also eligible to apply.

For more information on the scholarship, please call Julia Spelsberg 304-269-8167.

trict Governors.” She continued by saying, “Choi’s theme for the year is ‘We Serve’, as that’s our Lions’ motto, but wants to add more with diversity.” She spoke about the scarf she was given that she wore to the meeting. “The women received scarves and the men received ties,” Straley said.

She continued to talk about the many small designs on the scarf that displayed an array of different colors. “President Choi wanted us to not forget that we are all serving, and we are all trying to make our Lions Clubs more diverse,” she noted. “We can make our club membership higher if that’s what we do.” Her inspiration and goals led her to a theme she created and Straley stated, “So I decided that my theme for the year would be ‘Unlimited Horizons’.”

Straley went on to display her logo and said, “I’m proud of what my sister made, she did this by hand.” She went on to explain representations in the logo by stating, “I looked at District 29-I as we’re working toward going over that horizon, looking towards everything we can possibly achieve. There’s the grass, our mountains, and the sky with the stars, and where we can go is as unlimited as the sky is.” She praised the Lions Club for their volunteer work, especially for all the activities and events over the summer at Jawbone Park, along with a focus on youth. Straley spoke more on future goals during the meeting and presented members with pins that they have earned. She concluded with, “This kind of initiation shows unlimited thinking and unlimited horizons that you all are accomplishing.”

SJMH from Page 1 programs can receive their titer testing here at Stonewall.

Some tests are available the same day. Others require 24 hours or more for results. For the best quality results, fasting is required for the lipid panel, the comprehensive panel, and the finger stick glucose.

Please note that results are available electronically when the patient signs up for the patient portal. This allows immediate access of laboratory results. Patients also have the option to wait for some lab tests or have the results mailed to their home location.

Direct Access Lab tests can be great options for those who are looking for the convenience of having test results back quickly. It is a great option for uninsured or underinsured patients who are seeking cost-effective ways to monitor their health. It is also beneficial for those with high deductible health plans.

Serious medical conditions can go undetected for up to two years—without noticeable symptoms. A blood chemistry wellness test provides the best warning indicator. The earlier a problem is detected, the easier and more likely it is to be treatable. You now have direct access to major clinical laboratory testing across the USA for those important blood chemistry and wellness tests. Many consumers are under-insured, have high deductibles, or health plans without a wellness benefit.

AREA NEWS

Attorney General Morrisey letter helps expedite student loan relief for disabled Vets CHARLESTON — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey’s participation in a broad, multistate letter helped expedite student loan forgiveness for veterans who became totally and permanently disabled in connection with their military service.

President Trump announced a directive in late August requiring the U.S. Departments of Education and Veterans Affairs to swiftly discharge debt for totally and permanently disabled veterans.

That announcement followed a letter by 51 attorneys general urging the Education Department to take such action.

“I applaud President Trump’s move to forgive the

student loan debt of these brave veterans,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “Their sacrifice protected our nation.

Hopefully, our coalition’s effort to bring forth this directive will provide relief and peace of mind.”

The coalition’s letter called upon the Education Department to develop a process to automatically discharge the student loans of veterans eligible for such relief, as determined by the Department of Veterans Affairs While the automatic discharge process was in development, the letter proposed, the Education Department should halt debt collection efforts targeting disabled veterans and clear their credit reports of any negative reporting related

to their student loans.

Last year, the Education Department identified more than 42,000 veterans as eligible for student loan relief due to a service-related total and permanent disability. Fewer than 9,000 had applied to have their loans discharged by April 2018 and more than 25,000 had student loans in default.

The attorneys general noted the federal government had taken some steps to make it easier for eligible veterans to secure student loan relief, however, an automatic discharge process that gives individual veterans an opportunity to opt out for personal reasons would eliminate unnecessary paperwork and ensure that all eligible veterans receive a discharge.

West Virginia signed onto the New Jersey- and Utah-led letter with attorneys general from Alaska, American Samoa, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Northern Mariana Islands, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

Attorney General Morrisey Urges FCC to Strengthen Efforts to Stop Robocalls CHARLESTON — West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey and a broad coalition urged the Federal Communications Commission to stand firm and encourage telecom companies to implement call blocking and call authentication solutions that would protect consumers from illegal robocalls and spoofing.

Fifty-one attorneys general supported the FCC’s efforts to give consumers greater access to free, robust call blocking that is simple and easy for all consumers. The bipartisan coalition expressed its support in a comment letter filed late afternoon Friday.

“Illegal robocalls are an increasing annoyance for consumers across West Virginia,” Attorney General Morrisey said. “Our office has initiated meetings with several telecom companies and continues to explore avenues that will significantly reduce, and hopefully eradicate, this aggravation and threat to consumers.”

News of the coalition’s letter comes days after its members and 12 phone companies unveiled an agreement that will result in the phone companies adopting eight principles to fight illegal robocalls.

The coalition strengthened

that effort in telling FCC that telecom companies should offer automatic call-blocking services to all customers at no cost. Any such service should be based on reasonable analytics and should not block important calls, including emergency alerts or automated calls that customers choose to sign up for, such as medical reminders.

The coalition’s letter also states telecom providers should monitor network traffic to identify patterns consistent with robocalls and take action to cut off the calls or notify law enforcement.

The attorneys general also express support for imple-

menting the STIR/SHAKEN caller ID call authentication technology and supports FCC’s proposal to take regulatory action against telecom companies that do not comply with its implementation.

STIR/SHAKEN is designed to help ensure that calls originate from secure, verified numbers as opposed to spoofed sources The letter specifically states that telecom providers should develop caller ID authentication to prevent robocalls to landline telephones, a particularly urgent concern given the vulnerability of some elderly consumers who primarily rely upon landline technology.

Improved Patient Portal Providing Patient Convenience at SJMH Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital understands the importance of providing great service and quick access for the patients served by the Hospital. An important part of service is providing convenient 24-hour access to personal health information from anywhere with an Internet connection through a Patient Portal. Using a secure username and password, much like one’s online banking, the patient can access a wealth of medical information. This is just another way to improve the delivery of healthcare by SJMH. Some of the items, which will be viewable through the Portal include: -Future appointments -Health record -Medications -Some test results -Medication list -Allergies -Immunizations (both administered and historically documented) -Procedures (both per-

formed and historically documented) -Health issues (Consolidated problem list both active and resolved) -Documents -Some discharge documents and patient education materials -Visit summaries As well as having both Hospital and physician records in one area, another advantage of the portal is that the patient will be able to pay on their SJMH bill at that site, rather than using the SJMH website For those who are new to patient portals, the registration is very simple. As long as a

person has been registered at SJMH, whether at the Hospital or in a clinic, they should be able to go to the Hospital website – www.stonewalljacksonhospital.com - and click on Patient Portal on the opening page. The patient will need to know some key information that is unique to them in order to create an account.

Then the patient should follow the directions to create a user name and password. Once the registration is complete, the patient will be able to use the Patient Portal for a variety of services. The SJMH portal also has an app for any Apple or Android devise.

Once a portal user name and

password is created, patients are encouraged to download the HealtheLife app to have access to their records right at their fingertips.

For those patients who must reset their password on the patient portal, he/she can call 1-877-621-8041. If there is still an issue, the patient can call clinical IT at 304269-8516.

Providing excellent care to every patient, very time is the goal of the staff at Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital.

Implementation of the new patient portal system is just another way to accomplish that goal.

Clise’s Cornucopia

By John Clise Editor

I hope everyone had a great Labor Day weekend with friends and family.

I enjoyed the Jackson’s Mill Jubilee and Jane Lew Fireman’s Festival. There was quite a bit going on at both events this year.

It’s good to so many people out and about enjoying what our county has to offer. As a fact, I saw license plates from Ohio, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, South Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Virginia, Utah, North Carolina, and Arkansas. That’s a lot of people from a lot of different states. That’s something to be pleased with in our community.

I things can only get better for Lewis County going forward as we continue to grow and develop. It’s going to be a great adventure moving forward with the county and region.

Now, here some jokes I borrowed from one of my favorite entertainers Branson legend Randy Plummer.

He’s hilarious and such a great guy. You should check him out on Facebook and YouTube. He’s a singer, writer, upright bass player and all around funny guy.

Why aren’t chickens allowed in church. They use fowl language. And as randy said, using that kind of language in church would “Ruffle some Feathers!”

He also shared this gem with me. “The next time your wife is angry, drape a blanket around her shoulders and tell her she’s ‘super angry,’ maybe you’ll live and laugh about it later. Maybe you’ll die on the spot.”

“I bought a dog from a blacksmith yesterday. First thing he did when we got home was make a bolt for the door.”

And, of course, no column of mine would be complete without a few facts from history included.

Maybe we should go with odd facts this time around.

You can share these with friends and coworkers and dazzle them with your vast knowledge of oddities.

The Olympic flag’s colors are always red, black, blue, green, and yellow rings on a field of white. This is because at least one of those colors appears on the flag of every nation on the planet.

The average lifespan of a major league baseball: 7 pitches.

There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball.

The star Antares is 60,000 times larger than our sun.

If our sun were the size of a softball, the star Antares would be as large as a house.

Leonardo Da Vinci invented scissors.

Recycling one glass jar saves enough energy to operate a television for three hours.

The cigarette lighter was invented before the match.

By Pat Ridpath Community Columnist Dorian threatening the eastern seaboard, yet another mass shooting – this one in Texas! There are just too many devastating stories on the news. My mom, Allegra McNemar Wiant, in the 1940’s used to just not listen to the news (or later wouldn’t watch it) because it was too depressing. I just have to remind myself that we are living in the last days and we see the signs mentioned in Matthew 24 and other places (that I like to call “Global Warning”) – especially verse 14. But we have to believe that there is hope and joy in our future and peace now, if we truly believe God is in control.

I can share some good news! Our church was privileged to have Patricia Parsons, Elkins Area Coordinator for Operation Christmas Child, www.samaritanspurse.org/occ, come to share with us bringing Yuliya Shubina, who evidently works with Samaritans Purse. She now lives in USA, but originally was from the Middle East and didn’t say from where exactly. She wanted to help us understand a little more about the goals of ShoeBox Ministry. Ms. Shubina was recipient of a shoebox gift when she was nine years old. She lived in the Asian country that used to be part of Russia. Times were difficult, to say the least, but the box was a source of joy to her. She had with her the little stuffed puppy that came to her almost two decades ago, along with the greeting card and picture of the little girl who had packed and sent the box. They remained “pen pals” over the years and since Yuliya moved to this country, she has met that friend. The beautiful part of the story is that because of it, Yuliya came to know the Lord and is happily working to let other people know how they can bring joy to the needy. If you want to learn how to pack a shoebox, visit site above for Samaritans purse, or you can call the First Baptist Church here in Buckhannon and talk to or leave a message for Cathy Vance, who was the one who arranged to have Yuliya and Patricia come to our church to tell us about.

Not every church is able to do everything, so it is wonderful when Baptist churches can give others of us the opportunity to help through a beautiful project like Operation Christmas Child, sending Christmas gifts

Pat’s Chat

to some who may have no other gifts through the season. Also, I am glad for what the Methodists (true to their name) have developed in this intricate “method” or organization that gives help to the needy in many ways. Many churches help with lunches on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The delightful Brother Roy of the Catholic Church helped us through the paces as we prepare to launch an Adventist lunch at the Parish House once in awhile. His flock provides all the Wednesday lunches and other churches provide the other two days. I am told Parish House is almost always in need of volunteers to help in many different ways, so if you (or your group) want to help out, go there and I am told they will put you to work at the Parish House, The Clothes Closet or somewhere. Our Seventh-day Adventist group is going to start helping them. I am told they expect vegetarian meals, since many Adventists are vegetarian. Our first day will be October 7.

Number 25 of the 28 Fundamentals of the Seventh-day Adventist Church is quite appropriately THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. [The “Seventh-day” of the week is the day that God made “holy” (Genesis 2:3 NIV). The KJV version says that “God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it” (Genesis 2:3 KJV), which means He set it apart as holy. In the fourth commandment God asks us to “keep” holy the day He had already “made” holy (Exodus 20:8). This can be said of no other day of the week. “Adventist” part of our name is obviously because we believe in the Second Advent of Jesus. The term advent is a version of the Latin word meaning “coming”.]

From the beginning of our existence as a people, Seventh-day Adventists have sung songs about the “blessed hope”

of the second coming of Jesus (Titus 2:13). As the second half of our denomination name suggests, we expect Christ’s coming to be literal. We believe that Jesus will return soon, though the actual time of that event has not been revealed. Because we believe the day is coming when we will see Jesus return in triumph, surrounded by all His holy angels, we are a happy people, and our songs reflect that joy.

The reason Jesus will return is that He loves His human brothers and sisters and wants them to be with Him. He said to His disciples, “ ’I am going [to Heaven] to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am’ “(John 14:2, 3). Jesus will take all His loved ones to heaven, both those who are alive at the time He comes and those who, having died, are resurrected when He comes (1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17). The Second Coming will bring to an end all earthly powers that exist at that time, establishing in their place the kingdom of God, the last of the kingdoms predicted in Daniel 2. Since history records that all of the other parts of the prophecy of Daniel 2 have been fulfilled, there can be no doubt that God’s kingdom will be established just as predicted.

SIGNS OF JESUS’ COMING While no one but God knows the actual moment of the Second Coming, it is possible to know through a study of the prophecies and the signs of His return, that it is near, “right at the door: (Matthew 24:33). When Jesus spoke to His disciples on the Mount of Olives shortly before His crucifixion, He outlined a series of signs by which His followers can recognize when His coming is near (Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21). There will be signs both in the heavens and on earth

(Matthew 24:29; Luke 21:25, 26), and the everlasting gospel will be preached in all the world (Matthew 24:14). The apostle Paul predicted the rise of the antichrist, “the man of lawlessness,” prior to Christ’s return (2 Thessalonians 2:3). James described social unrest and economic injustice (James 5:1-7), and Peter anticipated skepticism about “the promise of His coming” (2 Peter 3:4, KJV).

In addition to watching carefully the signs of the return of Jesus, we should learn everything we can about how He will come, because false “christs” will appear in the last days and deceive many people (Matthew 24:4,5).

WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE Jesus’ coming will be personal and literal. According to the word of the angels, “this same Jesus” will return to earth the same way He ascended to heaven (Acts 1:11). Jesus’ second coming should not, however, be confused with His spiritual presence in the lives of His people since His ascension. Neither should it be confused with His spiritual presence in the lives of the people since His ascension. Neither should it be confused with the coming of the Holy Spirit as Christ’s Representative.

Jesus’ return will be very visible (Matthew 24:26, 27; Revelation 1:7). Multitudes— indeed the whole earth, both believers and unbelievers— will see Jesus and His angels when they come. There will be nothing secret about His arrival. We will see it and hear it. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16 Paul said that Christ will return “with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God.” The return of Jesus will be glorious. He described it to His disciples as lightning that lights up the sky from east to west (Matthew 24:27, 30). Also, at that time, the resurrection of the righteous dead will take place (1 Thessalonians 4:16).

As we continue looking for Jesus’ coming, we need to do everything we can to make the world a better place, always keeping in mind, however, that our ultimate goal is to prepare ourselves for the world that lies ahead.

A favorite song for many people, which for many years was the theme song of the Voice of Prophecy radio broadcast, describes our anticipation of Jesus’ second coming: “Lift up the trumpet, and loud let it ring, Jesus is coming again.

Cheer up, ye pilgrims, be joyful and sing, Jesus is coming again!”

For further study: Matthew 24; Mark 13; Luke 21; 1 Corinthians 15:51-54; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 14:14-20; 19:11-21.
