CHARLESTON - County sher-iffs from around West Virginiamade it clear during the threedays of legislative interim meet-ings here last week that they willbe pressuring legislators to grantthem access to the state's pre-scription drug tracking system.Currently only about 15 mem-bers of the West Virginia StatePolice Bureau of Criminal Inves-tigation and an equal number ofdrug task forces around the statehave access to this system.

This system collects informa-tion about controlled sub-stances, doctors who prescribethese drugs, the pharmacies thatdispense them and the individ-uals who purchase them. LastMonday, Cabell County SheriffTom McComas asked membersof a legislative subcommittee toconsider expanding that accessto sheriffs of counties not cov-ered by a drug taskforce.

Rudi Raynes-Kidder, executivedirector of the West Virginia

Sheriffs' Association, said 20state counties are covered bytaskforces. The group would likethe remaining 35 sheriffs to haveaccess to the database.

McComas, who is president ofthe sheriffs' association, said thegroup isn't asking that "every of-ficer in the state should have ac-cess to this (information)."

Meanwhile, another jointHouse-Senate subcommitteetook up a bill to extend the cur-rent law that forbids sugary softdrinks in elementary and middleor junior high schools to highschools as well. Currently thesedrinks are not banned in thehigh schools.

Jeff Johnson, the attorney forthe Joint Committee on Health,told members that any decisionsabout fruit juices would be inthe hands of the Department ofEducation. Richard Goff, whoworks in the office of child nutri-tion, said the policy proposedfor high schools would still allow

100 percent fruit juices, milk andwater.

He said only one county so farhasn't eliminated the sugary softdrinks.

The joint committee recom-mended the bill for passagealong with one to erase a sectionof state code that allows a par-ent, guardian or someone else ina responsible position to seek acourt ruling for the sterilizationof someone declared mentallyincompetent.

"The Department of Correc-tions feels this is an archaicpiece of legislation that has beenon the books for a number ofyears and is asking that it be re-pealed," Johnson told the com-mittee members.

Efforts by some lawmakerswho want to increase the num-ber of county magistrates wasnipped in the bud by a jointHouse-Senate subcommitteelast Monday when the subcom-mittee voted 6-4 to refuse to rec-

ommend a draft bill to add fivemagistrates to the current num-ber of 158.

The initial intent of the pro-posed legislation was to giveMonongalia County a fifth mag-istrate because of a growingpopulation there. But the sub-committee then amended thebill to add magistrates in Berke-ley, Kanawha, Raleigh andWoodcounties as well. Members ap-parently were concerned aboutthe cost of $80,000 per year foreach new magistrate.

Meanwhile, the legislativecommittee assigned to monitorthe state's regional jail systemheard from a mother last Mon-day who pleaded with them totake a look at excessive prisonterms to ease the growing over-crowded conditions in regionaljails and state prisons.

Phyllis Gaspell, a 34-year ad-ministrative assistant to thepresident of District 17 of theUnited Mine Workers of Amer-

ica, asked lawmakers to studythis issue as it pertains to bothstate prisons and regional jails.

She said her son, now 40, isserving a 15-year to life sentencefor delivering one punch. Hewas given the lengthy sentenceeven though he had no historyof serious crimes such as mur-der, rape or armed robbery, sheadded. Gaspell said anotherman served a single year in a re-gional jail for throwing onepunch that proved fatal.

"I'm just asking for justice,"she said. "(My son) has alreadyserved eight years for onepunch."

The next three-day scheduleof legislative interim committeemeetings will be on Feb. 10-12,immediately preceding the be-ginning of the 60-day regular2013 session of the Legislaturewhich will be starting a monthlater as is customary everyfourth year when a governor isinaugurated.

process,” he said. “His shoes arehard to fill, but we have a new,young officer, and this newblood will make our officers bet-ter, because they will re-learnthings and train him.”

The police chief hopes to usethe officer by July.

“’THE SHOWCHOIR”Thought for theweek: Lo,children are anheritage of the LORD;and

the fruit of the womb is his reward.As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man, so are children of the

youth.Happy is theman that hath his quiver full of them; they shall not be

ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate. Psalm127:3,4,5, (KJV).

The activities I participated in while in school, could not hold ashadow to today’s!

We had the glee club, which meant if you wanted to sing with agroup, and wear a robe during some twice a year performance, youwere it.

Compare the show choirs today, from various surrounding schools,they are fierce competitors.

If you have the chance to attend one, you will be served a deliciousdinner, by the choir members themselves, (please leave a generoustip), then sit back and enjoy your children of today, put on a showequal to a Broadway play! These children put in many, many hours ofpractice. Costumes and shoes, etc. are not cheap, and parents are tobe applauded for taking time, shuttling them to and from all the par-ticipations, as well as encouragement to their children. This is some-thing each child will remember, and be remembered for.

A quote from Billy Graham;A child needs both to be hugged and unhugged, the hug lets her

know she is valuable, the unhug lets her know that she is viable (ca-pable). If you’re always shoving your child away, they will cling to youfor love. If you’re always holding them closer, they will cling to you forfear.Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he

will not depart from it. Proverbs;22;6.We hear so much about our young people on drugs, and how they

join in with the wrong group. What is their home life like, how wereyou brought up? Whose fault is it if your child stays out all night, ordoes not attend church , drinks, smokes and takes drugs?

I know sometimes parents do their best, and still children go wrong.But if we bring them into this world, who do they watch and learnfrom, we are their first view, and we are the instructors and teachers.Fathers,provokenot your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.Colossians 3; 16.

Our next generation is not as bad as we think it is, if we will supportthem, encourage, love and listen and guide them to the best of ourability, they will turn out alright.

Canterbury described the sig-nificance of having strong com-

munity partners like Ohio ValleyBank.

“It’s very important,” he said.“How often do you have a bankwant to call you to give money tohelp?”

Preston is on board with theplan to improve the quality oflife in the city, to help draw peo-ple here.

“We want people outside oftown see what Milton can offer,”he said.

This was one of the manyways this local business hasstrived to give back to its com-munity. Currently, this bank isworking to eliminate the headaches associated with checking

account fees.Ohio Valley Bank not only of-

fers free checking, but pays itsaccount holders every time theyswipe their debit card. There areno monthly fees with this ac-count.

“We’re just trying to give backto help the community better af-ford to pay for rising gas pricesand taxes,” said Preston.

The bank will pay 1 percentback to customers for every pur-chase they make.

Velma’sViewBy Velma Kitchens

Nellie BellBack when I was little (Oh, no, I am sounding like an old, old per-

son) my Dad drove a green van which he used for work. He worked forMr. Phelps and helped clean out septic tanks.

I think all of you know what a septic tank is or was. On the week-ends, we usually would go visit my Grandpa who lived on BuzzardCreek.

We lived in Culloden and would go across the hill. Across the hillmeant out Sycamore Road the back way. If you don’t know the backway, ask any old person who has lived in Putnam or Cabell County fora long, long time.

Anyway, we would get to the top of Sycamore Hill and Dad wouldturn off the motor and we would coast to the old Sycamore GradeSchool.

We had such a good time riding in the van. My little sister would siton my Mom’s lap and my older sister and I would stand up behind thefront seats.When we started down over the hill, Dad would always say“Hang on, Peachie.” That was my older sister’s nickname.We thoughtwe were going a hundred miles an hour and our stomach turned thatturn which we all have had as we go over a hill really fast, or like on aroller coast. (Speaking of roller coasters, I will have to tell you the lasttime I was on a roller coaster at Geauga Lake in Ohio).

My Dad named the van, Nellie Bell. It is funny what kids rememberabout their childhood, but Nellie Bell will always be remembered asa fun van.

One day on our way to Grandma’s and over the hill and around thecurve my Mom and baby sister almost fell out of the van. The pas-senger door flew open and my Dad grabbed my Mom by the arm andfinally got her back.

Just think, what a good thing seatbelts are today.Nellie Bell was a treasure to us kids but I don’t think my younger

sister can remember Nellie Bell.By the way, the old Sycamore School is no longer there, but I did at-

tend the school for a little while.My Mom and my Uncle Dorsey attended all the grades there.She and her friend Lola, went to several of the reunions several

years ago.One story always leads to another, but they are for another time.

DEAHonorsMiltonMiddle School Students

MILTON – DEA agents oftensee the ugly aftermath of drugs,but on Thursday they saw threeyoung girls take a stand againstthis issue that accounts for morethan 90 percent of all crime.

Caroline, Grace and SarahKinder have inspired a commu-nity with a simple act. They par-ticipated in the National FamilyPartnership’s 27th Annual YouthDrug Prevention Campaign’s RedRibbon Photo Contest. TheKinders decorated their home’sfront door with anti-drug mes-sages. This helped raise aware-ness of drug prevention, and ledto a $1,000 grant for Milton Mid-dle School.

DEA agents showed up lastweek to present them with the

check. Moments before they did,the men shared some insight onthe issue of drug prevention.

“This is wonderful,” said agentJohn Ryan. “It’s a positive exam-ple they’re setting for their class-mates.”

Agent Barry Parsons agreed.He described the importance ofearly drug education.

“It’s critical these kids get anunderstanding and a grasp,” saidParsons. “This will help themake right choices and set themon the right path.”

The kinder girls walked intothe cafeteria where hundreds ofcheering students awaited them.

Milton Mayor Tom Canterburyspoke to the children. His com-ments mirrored some made inprevious months by Police ChiefGary Lilly, regarding the local waron drugs.

“Education on drugs begins athome and second: at school,”said Canterbury. “We appreciatewhat these girls are doing for theschool and the community ofMilton.”

Ted and Angie Kinder haveraised their daughters to knowright from wrong. Both parentskeep a close eye on their girls.

“We always know wherethey’re at, who they’re with, andwe try to teach them what’sright,” said Ted Kinder. “I’mproud of them.”

Agent Jason McDaniel spoke toprepare the students for the in-evitable future.

“At one point in your life, youwill have to make a decision—doI use drugs or do I stay drug free,”said McDaniel. “Choose drugfree so you can live a long andhealthy life.”

Dear Christin,My son is 28 years old and is

constantly in trouble.He has hadseveral run-ins with the law andhas been battling drug addictionfor several years. He works, but isstill always in need of money -which I give him. I can’t bear thethought of turning him awaywhen he needs my help. It’s notthat he’s not smart, it’s not thathe’s lazy, and it’s not that he is in-capable of taking care of himself.But I don’t know how to makehim understand that I will notalways be here to bail him outand that he needs to startmakinga better life for himself. Any ad-vice?Sincerely,Momma BearDear Momma Bear,Raising kids is tough.You work

diligently to teach them thevalue of hard work and learningto fend for themselves. However,when they fail, you are there topick them up and encouragethem to try again. But at whatpoint do we stop and say“Enough is enough.”? Well, Iwould say Momma Bear that youhave reached that point withyour son.

Being able to not get ahead

and asking Mom for a loan is onething.When drugs are involved itturns into something else com-pletely. Maybe your son is deal-ing with both of these issues.Maybe the problem is that hisaddiction is the sole reason thathe has to ask for help. Either way,you need to cut him off. I knowthat’s easier said than done.

The best way for you to showhim what his life would be likewithout your help is to stop giv-ing it to him. Let him decidewhat his priorities are. And don’tbe surprised if the drugs takeprecedence over everything else.They have a tendency to do that.

So what do you do if that hap-pens? Well, the simplest answerwould be to get him some helpin the form of rehab, therapy,etc. The problem with thismethod is that the person has toactually want to be helped. Mostaddicts don’t want to admit theyhave a problem, even when it isstaring them right in the face.And most of the time, their par-ents are the last people theywould ever want to admit that to.

I know it sounds like a lose-lose situation, but there is hope,Momma. Talk to your son. Be asopen and understanding as you

can possibly be. Try not to bejudgmental or angry. Just listen.You would be amazed what peo-ple will share with you if you areunderstanding - even thoughyou may not understand.

An intervention may also benecessary. Being surrounded byhis family and friends, all shar-ing their concerns for his well-being, may be just what heneeds to realize that he has aproblem. However, this does notalways work for everyone. Some-times the person you are tryingto communicate with feels asthough they are being attacked.So if you do decide to use thismethod, be sure to use yourwords wisely.

Some people think that beinga parent stops after the age of 18.But your story just goes to showthat raising children is a lifetimecommitment. And you’re doinggreat!

“This is the type of cooperationwe like to do and the things welike to work on,” said Plymale.

Craig shared the same senti-ment. The delegate shook handswith fire fighters.

“Thank you for doing what youdo,” he told them.

Fire Marshal Tim Chastain ex-plained to the senators and dele-gates the gravity of the grants andwhat they did for the city.

“This kept us from shutting astation down,” said Chastain.“We’ve got a good department,great people and a town thathelps us a lot.”

Milton MayorTom Canterburyagreed.

“I’d put our fire department upagainst any in the state,” Canter-bury told the state leaders. “Onbehalf of the city of Milton, wethank you.”

After the event, Jenkins de-scribed the task to secure thismoney for the fire department.

“To get this amount of moneyfor this purpose – there had to bea real demonstration of need,” heexplained. “It was a good teameffort.”

Jenkins took a moment to layaside common misconceptions

about the work he, Morgan, Ply-male and Craig do.

“Most people think legislatorsspend time and energy voting inCharleston – this is a small part,”he said. “Most of the time, we’reworking with local individualsand government leaders.”

The senator continued, “Weserve as a conduit from local tostate, and when it comes to ad-dressing local issues, we helpsolve problems.”

Milton fire fighters needed anew fire truck: problem solved.

Iwillgiveyouanexampleofpoliticalmaneuvering. I knew West VirginiaDelegateDanPoling,(D-Wood),quitewell and found him to be a fine, up-rightmanwhokeepsthebestinterestsatheartofthoseheservesandhasbe-come a valued member of the statelegislature.IbelievethatstillandIrelaythisstory,whichIwatchedunfoldasareporter covering it, with the dis-claimer that Idon'tbelievePolingdidanything save accept his rightful ap-pointment,whichanybodywoulddo.

I remember back in Feb. 2006,Wood/WirtCountyCircuit Judge, thelateGeorgeHillretired.Bylaw,thegov-ernor appoints the replacement. So,for thenext fewmonths,wereporterscalled then Gov. Manchin's office.“Whenarewegoingtohaveareplace-ment for JudgeHill?”Formonthsandmonthswecalledandformonthsandmonths,noappointment.Fornearlyayear,thisjudge'sseatwasemptyinCir-cuitCourt.Weneededajudge.

Then, therewas an election. A fewweekslater,wefinallygotourappoint-ment, J.D. Beane. I had the thoughtthen–andmaintainittoday–thattheelectionhadbeen legally stolen fromthevotersofWoodCounty.

Now, J.D.Beanewas aDemocraticstatelegislatorfromWoodCountywho

had justwon theelection, butnot yettaken theoffice. So, nowBeane's seatisempty.FastforwardonemonthandManchin appointsDanPoling, aDe-mocrat,tothehouseseat.

He was a surefire bet towin the seat for theDemo-cratic Party.HadManchinnamedhisappointmentinthose11months,thatpersonwouldhavehadtorunasavir-tual unknown against some well-known Republicans. Letting thatjudge'sseat layfallowfornearlyayeargreatly increased the chance of theDemocraticPartyholdingthatseatinalegislaturethatitalreadycontrolledbyanear70-percentmajority.

That's the truthaboutpoliticsany-where, especially once youget abovethestatedelegatelevel.It'saboutpoliti-cians retaining and advancing theirpower and thepower of their associ-ates. That's what's happening rightnowinWashington.
