A man who had been on the run from police for nearly a month has finally been cap-tured. Lloyd Rapp, 46, was on federal probation when he was arrested on May 12 for misdemeanor drug charges. While awaiting arraignment in Clay Magistrate Court, Rapp was able to escape a faulty holding cell and fled on foot. Rapp had eluded capture until he was sighted Monday by West Virginia State Police. Around 1:30 pm State Troopers spotted a passing motorcyclist that appeared to be Lloyd Rapp traveling along Route 16. The troopers turned around in an attempt to identify Rapp but the motorcycle crashed along the way. The motorcycle and driver were in the middle of the road which forced the po-lice cruiser to swerve in order to avoid hitting the man, at which time the police cruiser also crashed. Two WV State

Police involved in the acci-dent, as well as Lloyd Rapp, were transported to Charles-ton CAMC General Hospital for treatment. The police-man, who have not been identified, received non-life threatening injuries and were released from the hospital on Wednesday. Rapp was treat-ed for his injuries before be-ing sent to South Central Re-gional Jail in Charleston. It is unknown at this time if Rapp will face additional charges.

A Clay County woman has filed a lawsuit against General Motors LLC in Clay County Circuit Court. Danita Mullins alleges that a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze she bought from C&O Motors in St. Albans in August of 2013 was defective, caus-ing several problems with the vehicle. Mullins alleges that GM is responsible for the problems with the car, as it was a direct and prox-imate result of the defects in the vehicle due to GM’s poor workmanship and craftsmanship. Mullins is seeking reimbursement of the $25,457.48 purchase

price, as well as all ap-plicable sales tax, license fees, registration fees and other reasonable expenses while she owned the vehi-cle, cost of repairs, loss of use, annoyance and incon-venience and expenses for replacement transportation and reasonable attorney fees.

Cunningham Energy LLC is pleased to announce it has reached an oil production milestone in the company’s shallow horizontal drill-ing efforts in Clay County, West Virginia. A total cu-mulative measured produc-tion of over 26,000 barrels of oil have been produced from Cunningham Energy’s Cochran #5H and Cochran #6Ha wells within the past eleven and eight months re-spectively. Both Cochran wells are producing from the Big Injun Sand forma-tion on the “RHINO” pad, and were the first known shallow horizontal Big Injun wells completed in the state of West Virginia. “Cunning-ham Energy jumped into the Big Injun horizontal oil play and has been rewarded for

its continuing development.” said Ryan Cunningham, of Cunningham Energy. “We have made great strides in ef-ficiency of drilling so far and expect that trend to strength-en in the coming year as the play matures. Our top prior-ity is to further innovation through the latest drilling techniques and drive oper-ating costs down, especially in the current environment. This and other shallow hori-zontal sand oil plays hold promise for the state of West Virginia and the Appalachian Basin as a whole.” Cunning-ham Energy is currently in the process of drilling and developing four new hori-zontal wells in Clay County on the “Lions Paw” pad in Union District.

CLAY COUNTY FREE PRESS, Wednesday, June 24, 2015 - Page 3A

In the last issue we con-cluded by saying, that the only way to be utterly and completely happy in this life is to know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal sav-ior. Psalms 128:1, Blessed [is] every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways. Take the time to read Psalms, 112 which starts out: Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD, that delighteth greatly in his commandments. Happiness only comes to those who fear or reverence the Lord and walk in His ways; and only those who truly reverence Him will walk in His ways. Now, let’s look at some ways to make that happen.

The promise of god is that, reverential fear and obedience is a guaranteed promise of prosperity. What is your concept of prosper-ity? Biblical prosperity is not the gratification of the flesh. By nature, we associate prosperity with being mate-rially wealthy and perhaps popular or talented in some field. But look at Psalms 128:2 “For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy [shalt] thou [be], and [it shall be] well with thee.” There is no promise in this verse of worldly wealth, but there is a condition attached to this promise of happi-ness. What is that condition? Verse 1, “Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.” Therefore, the man who is faithful to the lord’s house is happy. Psalms 118:26

“Blessed [be] he that cometh in the name of the LORD: we have blessed you out of the house of the LORD.” It is a guarantee that if you will go to the Lord’s house expect-ing a bless you will get a blessing. Psalms 122:1 « A Song of degrees of David. » “I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.”

Happiness comes not only from doing certain things, but also not doing certain things. A person who is living in sin is always going to have troubles. So many people are looking for happiness in a pill or a “joint” or an injection or a bottle of booze or sex or pornogra-phy, but the never, ever find it. These things may bring a temporary high or exhilara-tion or even euphoria, but they never satisfy. That is why those who are addicted to such things keep going back; the thing that they are looking for is always just out of reach. See what this godly man David says: Psalms 1:1-3, ¶ “Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the coun-sel of the ungodly, nor stan-deth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his sea-son; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” [CHS] “The fear of God is the cor-ner stone of all blessedness.

We must reverence the ever blessed God before we can be blessed ourselves.”

This is a family psalm. Psalms 128:3 Thy wife [shall be] as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy chil-dren like olive plants round about thy table. Remember that this promise is based on the conditions in verse one; that is, men and husbands who follow after the bibli-cal concept of a real man. By doing so, your family will have that wholesome ex-ample and influence. And if they too meet the conditions of happiness they too will be happy in the family.

Do you really want to be happy? Do you want to be really happy? The Lord Jesus asked His disciples a very critical question: Luke 9:25 For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose him-self, or be cast away? What profit will it be unto the man if he gain all the honors, riches, and enjoyments and pleasures the world has to offer in this life? It will be of no use, or value, or service to him if he himself is lost in hell. The only way for any person to have real happi-ness and be really happy is to know the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior. Ro-mans 10:9-10, “ That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt be-lieve in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man be-lieveth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confes-sion is made unto salva-tion.” E-mail, [email protected]

I’M GOING TO LET IT SHINEBy: Joseph J. Mazzella

Father’s Day was always a special occasion in our fam-ily. The celebration began with my maternal grandfa-ther, Abner Jehu Samples, also known as “Grandpa Hooge.” He was the father of 11 children (all deceased now) and they all married and had large families. We were blessed with scores of cousins who really loved one another.

Our Father’s Day reunion was held at the Samples fam-ily cemetery, which was situ-ated on a high point above Big Laurel Creek. It was a quiet, tranquil place, shaded by tall trees and carpeted with soft green moss. It was not morbid at all, but a peaceful place with the grave of a long-dead grandmother and some baby graves.

Before Grandpa Hooge passed away, he asked the family to continue to meet there and keep the family ties. Some of my best child-hood memories are centered around our Father’s Day re-union with our multitude of relatives.

As far back as I can re-member, we made the pil-grimage to honor the graves of our ancestors, and to re-new the family ties.

Mom made preparations the day before with cooking and baking, plus the butcher-ing of a couple of fat frying chickens. Each aunt made her special dish, and we were overloaded with good things to eat. I remember Aunt Ruby’s molasses-ap-plesauce cake, the mounds of potato salad, half runner green beans and an array of delicious pies. There were always gallons of ice tea and lemonade, and such a variety of good food that it was im-possible to sample it all.

We had to park out Twist-about Road, near the Parks Cemetery, and walk down the winding path to our graveyard. We carried our picnic hampers and bas-kets of food plus jugs of tea and lemonade through the woods. The rhododendron and mountain laurel were al-ways in bloom at this time, with the delicate wild roses in bloom along the path. The foot path wound through ferns and over rocks, with tall hemlocks making a cush-ion of dry needles underfoot.

How happy we were to greet our cousins! Cousins enjoy a special relationship--there is no sibling rivalry as there sometimes are be-tween brothers and sisters, yet the relationship is deep and binding. Springing from a common stock, many of us inherit the same traits

and mannerisms, as well as a marked resemblance in looks. The relationship goes beyond mere friendship, and this bond can last beyond childhood, beyond adult-hood, and beyond time and distance.

After we were stuffed to the gills with good food and socializing, we would have to lie down on the soft moss and rest awhile before our mothers would let us go in swimming. The cool, clear waters of Big Laurel were waiting for us. It was an ex-uberant bunch of youngsters who went tumbling down the hillside, headed for the swimming hole. There was no thrill like jumping into the clear, sparkling water af-ter the hot, sweaty trip down the hill.

The water honeysuckle, with its haunting, indescrib-able fragrance, would be leaning its white flowers over the water, which ran clear and clean then. We would jump from a rock into its refreshing coolness, splashing and laughing as we romped and played. Just one more time, I’d like to be a kid again, floating in the Rock Hole, with gravel underfoot and water honey-suckle blooming along the edge.

Father’s Day also bring memories of my own fa-ther. Although he has been gone 36 years this July, his face is as vivid in my mind as though it were yesterday. All of my childhood memo-ries are centered on Daddy, as he was the most important man in my life. I will never hear the poignant call of a whippoorwill without seeing Daddy’s smiling face--how he loved that piercing cry!

I still miss him. I think of how important a father is to a child; how we came run-ning to him with all of our minor hurts and woes. Later, when the more serious prob-lems of adulthood came, he was there with wise advice and warm, loving support. A good earthly father lays the groundwork for a deep relationship with our Heav-enly Father. Just as we learn early to run to Daddy with our troubles, we learn that our Father in Heaven is al-ways ready to listen, guide, console and strengthen. He has promised He will never leave us or forsake us. When my Heavenly Father took my earthly father on home, I could only be thankful. But, I miss him!

I wish all young fathers could only grasp the awe-some responsibility that

comes with fatherhood. I am sure they would be more careful in choosing the path-way that their feet take. It has been said that a father’s most important role is to teach his son what it is to be a man, and to give his daugh-ter the foundation for future relationships with men. The most important relationship in a man’s life is first with his father. May God help our men to be the right kind of a father.

WALK A LITTLE

SLOWER. DADDYAuthor Unknown

“Walk a little slower, Daddy,”

Said a child so small.“I’m following in your

footstepsAnd I don’t want to fall.”

“Sometimes your steps are very fast,

Sometimes they’re hard to see;

So walk a little slower, Daddy,

For you are leading me.”

“Someday when I’m all grown up,

You’re what I want to be;Then I will have a little childWho’ll want to follow me.”

“And I would want to lead just right,

And know that I was true;So walk a little slower,

Daddy,For I must follow you.”

Happy father’s Day to all you Dads--May you feel the awesome responsibility that rests on your shoulders as you raise your children in today’s world. Our chil-dren are growing up in a vastly different world than we did as children. They are faced with pressures that we never dreamed of, and sur-rounded by a much different atmosphere. They are more advanced in knowledge, so-phisticated in culture, and mature for their years. They are growing up in a world where crime and violence are rampant, corruption in gov-ernment is common-place, and wickedness abounds in high places.

What can we, as parents and grandparents do? We pray. In this changing world, the only unchanging thing is the Solid Rock, Jesus Christ. We pray for our children to find that anchor early in their lives; the anchor that holds us steady when the world is in turmoil.

It was a warm evening in June. I was a young dad, sit-ting in a lawn chair, holding my baby boy on my lap. My wife and I had just rented an old house with a big yard. Her uncle along with his wife and two, young daugh-ters had dropped by to pay us a visit. As we adults sat outside, sipping iced tea, and watching the sun go down, the two girls raced around the yard, laughing, yelling, and trying their best to catch lightening in a jar.

The lightening was light-ening bugs, of course. Doz-ens of fireflies were float-ing freely around the yard, moving slowly, but always just evading their pursuers. Soon my young cousins got

me to join in the hunt and we safely captured two of the little shiners and put them in a mason jar with a lid on it. We sat and watched them blink on and off for a long time. Finally, one of the girls looked at me and said, “They look sad. We should let them go.” I slowly opened the lid and we watched as they flew away to freedom. Then we laughed and sang several verses of the song: “This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine.”

As I think back on that night so many years ago it makes me remember all the times I have kept my own light sealed in the mason jar of my soul instead of sharing it with the world. Fear, an-

ger, jealousy, and doubt have made me hide my light so many times over the years. It has taken me a long time to see that like those lighten-ing bugs God wants all of us to shine our light as bright as we can, as long as we can, and every single chance that we can.

Don’t let fear keep you from shining your light. Don’t let this world keep you from living your love. God loves you so much. God meant for you to shine. Share you love then. Be kind. Help others. Do good. Bring joy. Make your life a beacon for all the world to see. Take all that lovely light within you and “let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.”

Psalms 128

Greed is a terrible thing. It is one of Satan’s favor-ite weapons. It touches all levels of society from chil-dren to adults to govern-ments to nations. Greedy is defined in Webster’s New College Dictionary as “wanting or taking all that one can get, with no thought of other’s needs.” A child may have 50 toys but when a visiting child picks one of them up sud-denly that is the one he wants to play with. Thank God most children are not that way.

On a deeper level, we have a problem in this na-tion that can be devastat-ing to whole communities. Before I explain, let me say this. When it comes to knowledge we all want all we can get or at least we should. The Bible says that a lack of knowledge can cause us to perish. (Hos. 4:6). We should all have a hunger for biblical knowledge so we can grow in the things of God.

Television is a wonder-ful tool to gain knowl-

edge, particularly since the internet has come into play. There are some great television preachers and I enjoy what they have to share. However, they were never meant to replace the church. God tells us in His Word to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together. (Heb. 10:25). Many are they that, in the quest for knowledge (I hope) run to and fro from here to there leaving their own communities without regard for where God has placed them. Churches close, pastors’ leave and the Word of God is left ly-ing in the dust.

I have traveled all over this country to conven-tions and revivals to gain some spiritual knowledge and insight to help me help others as well as myself. However, my roots are in the community I live in. God planted me here.

I support my church here and I pay my tithes here. When I can I support certain TV ministries but when I need help, I don’t

depend on them to come to my side. The Word tells us to bear one another’s bur-dens and pray for one an-other. (Gal. 6:2 / Ja. 5:16). How can we do that if we stay home in front of the TV or run to some other county? We can’t pray an effectual fervent prayer if we never fellowship to-gether to know the burdens or needs of others?

Perhaps the church in your community isn’t what you want. Maybe it isn’t supposed to be. Maybe God put you there to help make a difference. Per-haps you have some rough edges that need to be smoothed by the Word of God and the love of God and God doesn’t want you comfortable. He wants you to be changed, from the inside out. Read Ro-mans 12:2 and Ephesians 4:22-25. Make sure you are in a church where you are fed the Word of God and are being changed by that Word. Your commu-nity needs you. Be hungry but not greedy. Be blessed that you may bless others.

Be faithful and God will bless you.

Maranatha!

On Sunday (Memorial Day, May 24, 2015) only three of the late Roy and Vina Sears Bee family remain, Anna Jeam Bee Mollohan, Roscoe R. Bee and William L. Bee.

Ralph E. Bee, Ruby R. Bee Mollohan, Ronzel B. Bee, Pebble L. Bee Mol-lohan John C. Bee, Glen L. Bee, are no longer with us, but all the good and every lasting memories of days gone by, will remain forever.

Louise, a granddaugh-ter of Roy and Vina Bee and her husband Gary Maynor, now own the farm and they keep it in excellent condition. Flow-ers are blooming every-where and especially the roses.

The number was less this year that before, with graduations, sickness and

a wedding, and other fam-ily obligations.

The pay started with early arrivals. The ladies were busy preparing food and the men getting the tables ready. After dinner some went walking and others visited the Hallburg Church Cemetery.

It was such a beautiful day and as the sun began to go down there was a big moon shining. The owls were singing their songs and we built a campfire and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows and made smores. We had some old church hymnals and sang songs. Gary gave us a good sermon on how to be happy and it was enjoyed. Everyone said their good-byes and will be thinking of the time when we can be together as a family again.

In West Virginia a new law is taking affect that will provide cancer patients with more affordable, convenient treatment options.

This new law requires in-surance policies to give par-ity to payment and coverage of orally administrated anti-cancer medications in the same manner as intravenous-ly administered anti-cancer medications.

The legislation (H.B. 2493), which originated in the House of Delegates took effect on June 10. The bill was introduced by Del. John B. McCuskey (R-Kanawha).

“The Legislature has taken an important and meaning-ful step to ensure that cancer patients in this state have ac-cess to the best and most ef-fective chemo therapy drugs on the market. We were able to work closely with patient advocacy groups as well as the health insurance indus-try to pass legislation that positively benefits all those involved,” McCuskey said.

Further, insurers may not increase copayments, de-ductibles or coinsurance rates for injected or intra-venously administered anti-cancer medications or reclas-sify benefits in order to treat the two types of drugs simi-larly. Companies must also demonstrate compliance to the state insurance commis-sioner in the administration and reimbursement of the medications.

Del. Rohrbach (R-Cabell), a Huntington physician who sponsored the bill, stated, “I am pleased West Virginia has joined several other states in adopting this law. This law creates an avenue to give cancer patients oral chemo-therapy on the same reim-bursement schedule as intra-venous treatment without the worry of additional cost.”

Del. McCuskey was in-spired to introduce the legis-lation through his friendship with Nancy Tonkin, who was diagnosed with cancer and has spent her career as a healthcare advocate in West Virginia.

“Like so many, I have been personally affected by cancer, so, as an elected of-ficial, I was proud to have been able to work on such an important, meaningful and beneficial piece of legisla-tion. Further, it was truly my honor to work with Nancy Tonkin, whose courage in her fight against cancer was the catalyst to making this legislation a reality. “

This legislation was also sponsored by De. Steve Westfall (R-Jackson), Del. Bob Ashley (R-Roane), Del. Mick Bates (D-Raleigh), Del. Joe Ellington (R-Mercer), Del. Cindy Frich (R-Monongalia), Del. Eric Householder (R-Berkeley), Del. Don Perdue (D-Wayne), Del. Kelli Sobonya (R-Ca-bell) and Del. Ron Walters (R-Kanawha).

Summer is right around the corner, and families will spend more time outdoors. Exposure to the sun’s harm-ful ultraviolet (UV) rays increases the risk of skin cancer, which is why proper sun protection is essential. In fact, the sun’s UV rays are responsible for about 90 per-cent of nonmelanoma skin cancers and 86 percent of melanomas.

“Exposure to UV radiation is directly linked to all three forms of skin cancer,” said Perry Robins, MD, president of The Skin Cancer Founda-tion. “By adopting good sun safety habits families can en-joy summer outdoor activi-ties without increasing their skin cancer risk.”

The Skin Cancer Founda-

tion offers the following tips to help families enjoy a sun-safe summer:

At the BeachUse a broad spectrum

sunscreen daily. For ex-tended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant broad spec-trum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating.

Cover up with clothing. Look for high-UPF (Ultra-violet Protection Factor) swim shirts or rash guards, and choose bathing suits that cover more skin, like one-piece suits and long trunks. Make sure to apply and reap-ply sunscreen to exposed ar-eas of the skin not covered by fabric. To help avoid missing

spots apply sunscreen before putting on your bathing suit. When shopping for high-UPF clothing, look for The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation.

Avoid tanning. There is no such thing as a safe tan, because tanning itself is caused by DNA damage to the skin. In addition to in-creasing skin cancer risk, tanning also leads to prema-ture skin aging, including wrinkles, leathery skin and age spots.

At Summer CampRemind kids to seek the

shade. Advise kids to play in shaded areas to limit UV exposure. Check with coun-selors to see if there are ad-equate places for campers to seek shade during out-

door activities taking place between 10 AM and 4 PM, when UV rays are most in-tense.

Dress kids in sun-pro-tective clothing. For op-timal protection from the sun, send kids to camp in sun-protective clothing. Look for tightly woven or knit, dark- or bright- col-ored fabrics, which offer the best protection. Don’t for-get wide-brimmed hats and wraparound, UV-blocking sunglasses.

Practice sunscreen appli-cation beforehand. Teach children to apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons, or about the size of a golf ball) of sunscreen to all exposed areas 30 minutes before outdoor activities. Remind them to cover eas-

ily missed areas such as the back of the neck and tops of the ears. If camp rules allow, ask counselors to help chil-dren reapply sunscreen every two hours, or after swim-ming or excessive sweating.

On the RoadTreat your vehicle to

window film. Car windows don’t provide complete sun protection. Though UVB ra-diation is effectively blocked by glass, more than 60 per-cent of UVA radiation can pass through windows. UV-protective film, also known as window film, blocks out up to 99.9 percent of UV ra-diation. If you have window film installed, remember that it protects you only when the windows are closed. When shopping for window film,

check to see if the product has The Skin Cancer Foun-dation’s Seal of Recommen-dation.

Drivers beware. Nearly 53 percent of skin cancers in the US occur on the left, or drivers’ side of the body. Don’t forget to apply sun-screen, particularly when spending extended time in a car that has no window film.

Additional Skin Cancer Prevention Tips

Do not burn. At any age, a person’s risk for melanoma doubles if he or she has ever had five or more sunburns.

Keep newborns out of the sun. Sunscreen should be used on babies over the age of six months.

Injuries from fireworks ac-counted for 11,400 visits to emergency rooms in 2013, according to the latest data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). And, eight non-oc-cupational fireworks-related deaths occurred in that same year as well.

The data also showed that 16 percent, or 1,200, of fire-works-related injuries were to the eyes. Burns were the most common injury to all parts of the body, except the eyes, where contusions, lac-erations, and foreign bodies in the eyes occurred more frequently.

Fireworks laws vary from state to state and sometimes,

within different counties. According to the American Pyrotechnics Association, 47 states plus the District of Columbia allow some or all types of consumer fireworks. Only Delaware, Massachu-setts, and New Jersey ban all consumer fireworks.

However, despite warn-ings from fire, law enforce-ment, medical groups and other public safety officials, some states are trying to le-galize them, citing the ben-efit of sales taxes and fees that could be generated. In fact, Ohio, Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois and Iowa were among the states where legislation was introduced in the past year to expand con-

sumer grade firework (aka as 1.4G fireworks) usage within the state.

There is no such thing as ‘safe-and-sane’ fireworks, and any tax revenue that may be generated from the sale of fireworks won’t make up for the costs in damages, specifi-cally in terms of medical re-sponses and treatment,” said Sherill Williams, president and CEO of Prevent Blind-ness, Ohio Affiliate, and a leading advocate for the ban on the sale and use of con-sumer fireworks. “Nearly half of all injuries are suf-fered by innocent bystand-ers who chose not to use fireworks, but are paying the price of the risky behavior of

others, many times complete strangers.”

Prevent Blindness sup-ports the development and enforcement of bans on the importation, sale and use of all fireworks and sparklers, except those used in au-thorized public displays by competent licensed opera-

tors. The group works with leading organizations to edu-cate the public on the dan-gers of consumer fireworks and endorses legislation to help protect adults and chil-dren from needless injuries from fireworks.

“Prevent Blindness con-tinues to work with state leg-

islators across the nation to educate them about the risk of consumer fireworks and will continue to work against legislation that increases the risk of injury from fireworks, especially for children,” said Hugh R. Parry, president and CEO of Prevent Blindness.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Tom Vilsack to-day announced that eligible produc-ers may now formally enroll in the Agriculture Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC) programs for 2014 and 2015. The enrollment period begins June 17, 2015, and will end Sept. 30, 2015.

“The extensive outreach cam-paign conducted by USDA since the 2014 Farm Bill was enacted, along with extending deadlines, is central to achieving an expected high level of participation,” said Vilsack. “We worked with univer-sities to simplify these complex programs by providing online tools so producers could explore how

program election options would affect their operation in different market conditions; these tools were presented to almost 3,000 organiza-tions across the country. The Farm Service Agency also sent more than 5 million educational notices to producers nationwide and par-ticipated in over 4,880 educational events with more than 447,000 at-tendees. I am proud of the many committed USDA employees who worked hard over the last several months to provide producers sup-port to help them make these im-portant decisions.”

The new programs, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, trigger fi-nancial protections for agricultural

producers when market forces cause substantial drops in crop prices or revenues. More than 1.76 million farmers have elected ARC or PLC. Previously, 1.7 million producers had enrolled to receive direct payments (the program re-placed with ARC and PLC by the 2014 Farm Bill). This means more farms have elected ARC or PLC than previously enrolled under pre-viously administered programs.

Nationwide, 96 percent of soy-bean farms, 91 percent of corn farms, and 66 percent of wheat farms elected ARC. 99 percent of long grain rice farms, 99 percent of peanut farms, and 94 percent of medium grain rice farms elected

PLC. For data about other crops and state-by-state program election results go to www.fsa.usda.gov/arc-plc.

Covered commodities under ARC and PLC include barley, cano-la, large and small chickpeas, corn, crambe, flaxseed, grain sorghum, lentils, mustard seed, oats, peanuts, dry peas, rapeseed, long grain rice, medium grain rice (which includes short grain and sweet rice), safflow-er seed, sesame, soybeans, sunflow-er seed and wheat. Upland cotton is no longer a covered commodity.

The 2014 Farm Bill builds on historic economic gains in rural America over the past six years, while achieving meaningful reform

and billions of dollars in savings for the taxpayer. Since enactment, the U.S. Department of Agriculture has made significant progress to imple-ment each provision of this critical legislation, including providing di-saster relief to farmers and ranch-ers; strengthening risk management tools; expanding access to rural credit; funding critical research; establishing innovative public-private conservation partnerships; developing new markets for rural-made products; and investing in infrastructure, housing and com-munity facilities to help improve quality of life in rural America. For more information, visit www.usda.gov/farmbill.

No place is better for making lifelong memories than at West Vir-ginia’s state parks, and that’s why a new marketing campaign is under-way to remind visitors that “Memo-ries Happen Here.”

The campaign began running statewide through a partnership with the West Virginia Broad-caster’s Association. The goal is to increase visitation to 49 areas that make up West Virginia’s state park system and emphasize the abun-dance of activities available for adults, children and families alike.

Tools used in the campaign include print ads, TV commercials, radio spots and continued promotion on the West Virginia State Parks Face-book and Twitter channels. All ele-ments of the campaign are tagged with the theme “Memories Happen Here.”

The campaign launch also marked the introduction of a mod-ern look made to the West Virginia State Parks logo that retains the be-loved rhododendron. The new logo is an evolution to the previous logo that had been used for several de-

cades.West Virginia state parks offer

adventures like skiing, boating, camping, fishing, hiking, biking and golfing, as well as opportuni-ties to relax or just enjoy a good meal in the quiet and beauty of the Mountain State. Additionally, the system’s 10 parks with lodges and 19 areas with cabins create desti-nation stays across the Mountain State.

“We are making a strong push to attract young adults and families, to encourage them to start a tradition

of visiting our facilities regular-ly,” said West Virginia State Parks Chief Sam England. “Ultimately, we want to sell the adventure and many experiences that can be found in our state parks system.”

The TV spots can be viewed at www.youtube.com/channel/UCdqftLMxbOD50tLjtXl0NHQ or by visiting the West Virginia state parks social media pages at face-book.com/wvstateparks and twitter.com/wvstateparks. Individuals are encouraged to also visit the social media pages for the latest deals and

special promotions.“As local gems and part of the

greater statewide crown of jewels, West Virginia’s State Parks offer a wealth of recreational opportuni-ties,” Division of Natural Resourc-es Director Bob Fala said. “From that first bluegill caught at a state park lake or stream to an exhilarat-ing ride on an aerial tram or swish-ing down a ski slope to meet a new friend or just a marshmallow toast-ing by the campfire – a lifetime of fond memories beckons those who visit.”

Janitors plan to rally on the streets during rush hour this afternoon, as talks start on contracts that cover about 75,000 commercial cleaners in the eastern U.S.

Their supporters say it’s part of an important new di-rection for labor.

In Virginia, House Del-egate Alfonso Lopez will speak at a rally in Arlington, commemorating the 25th an-niversary of what is known as the Justice for Janitors

movement. He says when it began, many of the workers made $5 an hour.

Lopez contends raising low pay for service workers and winning union represen-tation have been good for them, and for America.

“It’s not just a win for working families, but em-ployers, the economy and the public in general,” he insists. “What we’re trying to do make sure we have a stable, reliable workforce that’s be-

ing paid a livable wage.”The Service Employees

International Union links the Justice for Janitors move-ment with the Fight For 15, pressing for fast food work-ers to be paid $15 an hour, and to battles for other low-wage workers, such as secu-rity guards.

It’s one of the fastest-growing parts of the labor movement nationally. Lo-pez points out that these are workers who can’t be re-

placed by machines or have their jobs shipped overseas, and a lot more people are re-lying on them.

“How do you automate a janitor?” he says. “It’s not like it’s a factory assembly line. But also, how many communities have raised the minimum wage and thrived - have increased overall jobs and their economic base?”

Lopez says one impor-tant issue for janitors in the Washington area is that too

many are only getting part-time hours, with lower pay and fewer benefits.

Currently, a part-time commercial cleaner makes $10.60 an hour. Full-time janitors get 50 cents an hour more, and employer-paid health care.

Lopez adds other employ-ers have found that moving service workers to a livable wage has actually been good for profits.

“I think you find you have

a more reliable, more loyal and more effective work-force, as opposed to a work-force that is, in many cases, desperate,” he states.

Some employers argue they can’t afford to guarantee their cleaning staffs a full-time living wage and ben-efits. Union officials says the offices their members clean are part of Washington’s multi-billion-dollar real es-tate industry, which can well afford the contract terms.

“Janitors for Justice” and a New Front for LaborBy Dan Heyman

CLAY COUNTY FREE PRESS, Wednesday, June 24, 2015 - Page 5B

The West Virginia Pub-lic Service Commission has heard testimony on Ameri-can Electric Power’s (AEP) energy efficiency plan – a plan that would cut fund-ing on efficiency programs and prevent readily achiev-able energy savings. For five months the West Virginia Public Service Commission, which rules on everything from cable and water to land-fills and electricity, has been a member short. Only the two currently-serving mem-bers will preside over AEP’s

case.

Energy efficiency is in-credibly important for West Virginia. An Optimal En-ergy study found in 2012 that strong utility energy ef-ficiency programs can save $800 million on utility bills and create thousands of lo-cal jobs. But AEP’s proposed plan fails to commit the fund-ing needed to secure readily achievable energy savings and, in fact, cuts spending on certain energy efficiency programs that have been suc-cessfully delivering savings.

The cuts mean that low in-come customers, homeown-

ers, business owners and oth-ers will have less assistance available to upgrade their energy use. For example, under the plan there will be fewer resources accessible to weatherize low income homes and upgrade commer-cial lighting.

“It’s unbelievable that the Public Service Commission is making decisions on key programs like AEP’s energy efficiency plan while only being partially staffed,” said Bill Price, Senior Organizing Representative for the Sierra Club. “It’s been months and

the work of the commis-sion is too important to have any more delay -- Governor Tomblin should appoint a third member to the commis-sion who can serve as an ad-vocate for energy efficiency, help create jobs and reduce energy costs.”

Owners and operators of aboveground storage tanks are encouraged to immedi-ately begin labeling their tanks in order to comply with the requirements of the new Aboveground Storage Tank Act, passed by the state Leg-islature on March 14. The legislation, Senate Bill 423, requires that, at a minimum, each AST be labeled with the following information:

the tank registration num-

ber, once it has been issued by the West Virginia Depart-ment of Environmental Pro-tection;

the emergency contact telephone number for the owner or operator of the tank; and

the telephone number for the DEP’s Spill Reporting Hotline, which is 1-800-642-3074.

To comply with the law, all tanks meeting the act’s AST

definition should be regis-tered with the DEP by July 1, and display the registra-tion number on the tank once it has been issued. DEP is recommending that AST la-bels or markings be placed at least 3 feet above ground level, and be clearly visible and legible from a public roadway, public right-of-way or from outside the contain-ment area. Also, the lettering should be high-contrast col-

ors, and should be at least 1 ½ inches in height or larger. If signs are used instead of labels, it is recommended they be at least 2 feet by 2 feet in size. Labels or mark-ings should be kept clearly visible and legible at all times.

“Having spill contact and registration information on tanks is a common sense re-quirement that tank owners and operators need to pur-

sue now,” said DEP Cabinet Secretary Randy Huffman. “Owners and operators will be subject to enforcement if unlabeled tanks are encoun-tered.”

Today, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) met with Dr. Rahul Gupta, Commis-sioner of the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Bureau for Public Health, to discuss the results of the National Toxi-cology Program’s (NTP) year-long series of toxicity studies to evaluate MCHM and other chemicals that spilled into the Elk River on January 9, 2014. Senator Manchin applauded the results, which indicate no long-term health effects should be expected for resi-

dents who were impacted and that West Virginia took appro-priate public health measures following the spill.

At the request of the Na-tional Toxicology Program (NTP) and Centers for Dis-ease Control and Prevention (CDC), the West Virginia De-partment of Health and Hu-man Resources (DHHR) will launch an additional birth-weight study to analyze chil-dren with low birthweights born during the period of the chemical spill in the affected counties.

“Today, I met with Dr. Gupta and received the en-couraging results from the National Toxicology Pro-gram’s toxicology studies on the Elk River chemical spill,” Senator Manchin said. “Last year, a group of federal, state and local leaders all met in my office, and we agreed that additional scientific test-ing was necessary to provide a clearer understanding of the chemicals that leaked in order to restore West Virgin-ians’ confidence in their wa-ter. I am thankful that these

studies have been conducted and evaluated in a timely manner. Most importantly, I am pleased that these find-ings reassure West Virginians that the chemicals that leaked into the Elk River should not pose long-term health effects. I look forward to continuing to work with officials at all levels as the additional birth-weight study is conducted and analyzed.”

Last July, Senator Man-chin hosted a meeting in his Washington, D.C. office with Governor Tomblin and fed-

eral, state and local agencies to coordinate this series of scientific studies. Over the past year, testing has been conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Preven-

tion (CDC), the National In-stitutes of Health’s (NIH) Na-tional Toxicology Program, and NIH’s National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences.

The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) this week published a final rule for the Microloan Program, providing more flexibility to SBA non-profit intermediar-ies, expanding the pool of microloan recipients, and in-creasing accessibility in SBA programs. The change will make small businesses, with an owner who is currently on probation or parole, eligible for microloan programs, pro-viding individuals with the highest barriers to traditional employment a means to re-enter the workforce.

SBA’s Microloan Pro-gram, which is focused on startups, minority and other underserved markets, pro-vides loans up to $50,000 to help small businesses and certain not-for-profit child-care centers start up and expand. Microloans play an important role in distressed communities where access to conventional lending re-mains a challenge. The av-erage microloan size is ap-proximately $13,000.

“Microloans are vital to small business develop-ment,” said SBA Mid-At-

lantic Regional Administra-tor Natalia Olson-Urtecho. “Many of the businesses we see starting today just need a little boost of capital to get on their way. Providing addi-tional access to those on pro-bation or on parole ensures all have a chance to start over again and be the productive members of society they want to be.”

This action supports the goals of the Federal Reentry Council to reduce barriers to employment and reduce re-cidivism. It also implements key recommendations of the

President’s My Brother’s Keeper Initiative to increase access to jobs, reduce vio-lence, and provide a second chance.

Other changes to the pro-gram also promote increased microloan activity and pro-vide intermediaries with ad-ditional flexibility in how they manage program funds. More information about the microloan program can be found at www.sba.gov/mi-croloans.
