Initiate Revolving
Loan Fund
The Region I Planning and Devel-
opment Council, a council of local
governments comprised of 27 mu-
nicipalities and six County Commis-
sions, including McDowe]], Mercer,
Monroe, Raleigh, Summers and
Wyoming Counties, initiated a Re-
volving Loan Fund for small busi-
ness in Mar. of 1991. The Region
closed its twentieth loan on Dec. 9,
1992. These 20 loans represent an
investment of approximately
$710,000 and have created or re-
tained approximately 160 jobs. All
loans have been made to locally
owned small businesses throughout
the region that could not obtain
conventional financing.
This Revolving Loan Fund was
made possible by a $500,000 grant
from the U. S. Economic Develop-
ment Administration and financial
assistance from the WV Economic
Development Authority, ten local
banks and Region I.
The innovative approach ofcreat-
ing a partnership of federal, state,
local funds and private funds from
the 10 banks resulted in this project
receiving the 1991 Governor's State
Award for Model Partnerships. This
program design has been the model
for the creation of similar programs
in other regions of the State and
Nation, as well.
The Region I Council which is
comprised of the mayors and county
commissions of the six counties of
the region wouldlike to express their
thanks and appreciation to those
involved in making this program a
success. This includes Congressman
Rahall for his assistance with the
EDA, and the Office of the Comp-
troller of the Currency, the WV
Development Office, particularly the
WVEDA, the ten local banks which
are by County: The First National
Bank of Keystone (McDeweH Co.);
First National Bank of Bluefield,
FlatTop National Bank, One Valley
Bank of Princeton and the Peoples
Bank ofBl uewel] ( Mercer Co.); Bank
of Monroe, Bank of Greenville
(Monroe Co.); Beckley National Bank
(Raleigh Co.); National Bank of
Summers (Summers Co.); Bank of
Oceana (Wyoming Co.). The Council
also thanks the EDA offÉce and the
Region I staff for their efforts, as
well as the SBA Center at Concord
College in developing applications.
Anyone interested in information
on the Revolving Loan Fund should
contact Region I at 425-9508.
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Public Affairs Officer
Dear Editor."
I'm James A. Thomason, I'm cur-
rently the Public Affairs Officer of
the Blue Gray Chapter 628 of the
Vietnam Veterans of America. It is
located in Princeton, W.Va. In the
last 6 months after getting our chap-
ter 1992 has been a great year for
some Veterans and I hope that I
have helped in home way to help
others. This might be my last article
that I write. I have enjoyed writing
to let Vietnam Veterans know that
chapter 628 is here now and that we
are all Nam Vets and their families
ready to help our own and to talk to
any Nam Vet who wants help. Some-
times I get down because I don't get
any reply, but I do see some people
who read my articles and they doll
me they read my articles, but I really
feel it just isn't enough anymore. I
want all Vietnam Veterans whoread
this to know I really tired to make a
difference. This past year was great
and I've met people that I wouldn't
have ever known ifI wasn't the Public
Affairs Officer. I want you to know
that you have helped me more than
I have helped you. This past year
chapter 628 was in 3 parades, had
several Dinners, helped several Veto
and their families with money prob-
lems, made plans for a special monu-
ment. At our last meeting we voted
to buy a cap printing machine for the
Mercer County work shop for the
handicap.
Chapter 628 is the newest and
most active vet organization in the
State of W.Va. and probably in Vs.
too. We are proud of what we have
done in one short year. Now it is time
to Elect new officers and chair per-
sons. Our community has a great
Vet organization here, but you have
to help too. America is going down
the tubes because its citizens just
don't care anymore. We wait and
hope someone else acts, but then the
wrong people gets in power and we
complain about it. If you want good,
then you have to go work and get it,
don't wait and hope it will turn out
right because nothing works out right
without an effort. All Veterans or-
ganizations are getting low on
members because of age and new
blood is not coming in to keep them
strong. This is why the Vietnam
Veterans organizations are growing.
The Average Nam Vetisin his middle
40'S. It is our time; it is up to us to
keep all other Vet organizations
strong. The Govarnmentreal]y don't
want the Vet organizations here
because; its together that we are a
strong force in our government.
Without the VFW, Purple Hearts,
and America Legion the Government
would not help the VeranL Almost
every family in America has a Viet-
nam in it, so you can see why we are
needed. The Blue Gray Chapter 628
got its charter in June so really we
are only 7 months old. We average
around 50 people at each month
meeting. We meet in Princeton,
Bluefield VA and Claypool Hill be-
cause we don't have a home base, but
it has worked out real good. We serve
8 counties so moving around helped
us meet more Veterans in all Coun-
ties. I've really eoyed writing for
the Blue Gray Chapter and I hope
you received somethng from what I
wrote.
I'm not a great Public .Affairs
person, but I've done my best with
what talent I have. I'm sure you will
c.ontirtie,heai0g about the Bue
Gray Chapter 6of the Vietnam
Veterans of America in the future.
Just stand up for your Veterans as
they stood up for you. I want to give
a special thanks to Loren Mitchell of
the Tazewell County Free Press.
Loren, thanks for caring and pub-
lishing meet of my articles. If any
Vietnam Veterans needs us, our
address in Blue Gray Chapter 628,
PO Box 5295 Princeton, WV 24740.
Our next meeting will be held at the
VFW Building in Bluefield, Vs. on
Thurs. Feb. 4th. at 7:00 PM.

Tax Guide
For Militaw
Two free publications about
federal taxes for the military are
now available from the Internal
Revenue Service.
Publication 3, Tax Information
for Military Personnel, tells what
types of income are included in
gross income, such as basic pay,
bonuses for reenlistment, and haz-
ardous duty pay. Financial items
not included in gross income, such
as living, moving, and travel
expenses, are discussed as well.
Tax benefits available to military
personnel involved in Operation
Desert Shield and Operation Desert
Storm are covered in Publication
945, Tax Information for Those
Affected by Operation Desert
Storm. It discusses combat pay
exclusion, when to file returns, and
related tax matters.
Both publications can be ordered
by calling 1-800-829-3676, or by
writing to the Internal Revenue
Service, Fom Distribution Center,
P.O. Box 25866, Richmond, VA

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
IT WAS00 NO
SURPRISE
Dear Editor:
It wasno surprise to me that the
mascot and colors issue for the new
high school, to be, was brought up at
the . of E. meeting Thurs. night,
Jan.'/4th. What surprised me was
the manner in which it was done. I
understand it was NOT on the
agenda to be addressed, the board
violating their own Rules of Order,
and interested spectators were not
allowed a voice in the discussion. Of
course, Rules of Order and the
Democratic Process means nothing
to a dictatorial body attempting to
lead a society. I thought the Revolu-
tion and subsequent wars were
fought and won for democracy of all
Americans and surely that would
include Summers County, W.Va.,
U.S. of America. Would the various
governments in our supposedly free
country be so brazen as to dictate to
us who we can and/or cannot vote
for? I believe there are those out
there who would try but our courts of
law forbid it because we are a democ.
racy.
Citizens and tax payers of Sum.

have a dictator to deal with? Are you

cratic way? Can you picture a sports
team of any kind without some
white? Even white socks are neces.
sary in many cases, yet this color is
being denied as a choice. Will the
children, when theyreach adulthood,
thumb their noses at democracy
because it has been taken from them
as young people in their formative
and educational years? Their free-
dom is in jeopardy and the affect is
very evident as shown in the latest
released STUDENT TEST SCORES
for this and surrounding counties. I
say to you, it is a dangerous situ-
ation the board has created. I am not
surprised at the action of two mem-
bers but very disappointed in mem-
ber Charles Barker. He seemed to be
a gentleman with the children at
heart.

Greenbrier: it's waters so clear and
green. New River is really magnifi-
cence, Bluestone is beautiful also.
That's only part of it, the moun-
tains even in winter have a solemn,
quiet, about them. The bare trees
along the mountains look like fringe
against the sky.
I have a close relative who has
worked on dams, in many different
states, who said Bluestone Dam is
the best constructed dam, he has
ever seen, he worked on Bluestone
Dam years ago, when it was in con-
struction.
About people, our Mayor of Hin-
ton is really a nice person, and cares
for what is best for this county. On
radio, Sun. mornings, you can tune
in to some good gospel preaching by
ministers of this county. Also, there
are some nice churches to attend. All
over this area.
At our Summers County Hospi-
tal, we have a wonderful Surgical
doctor, as well as other doctors if you
need them.
The community of Forest Hill, has
a family clinic, and a really good
doctor, which certainly is nice for
them as well as others. I'm surprised
at myself, I didn't mean to write a
book, but there are many good things
to say about this locality. Thank
you.
Yours Sincerely
