HINTON, WV February 15, 2018
-- Lent. What is it? Why is it
observed? What does it presage?
Those are the questions St. Patrick
Catholic Church hopes to answer for
those who ask with a special
presentation during the Table of
Plenty dinner Wednesday, February
21.
"What a marvelous opportunity
we have to explain to people the
Christian concept of the Lenten
Season, and what it means as we
enter the 40 - day preparation for
Easter Sunday, the greatest of feast
days in all Christian traditions,"
said Rev. Father Rey Landicho,
Pastor of St. Patrick Catholic
Church. .
"This is the holiest of all seasons
for all Christians," Fr. Rey said, "and
we thought how great it would be
that, while we nourish the body at
the Table of Plenty, we also could
nourish the soul; not to force any one
view of Lent over another, for all
Christian faiths share in the
meaning of Lent, but to explain to
those who may not understand the

"This way, those who have no

Manchin Announces More than $300K
for WVU Breast Cancer
Thursday, U.S. Senator Joe
Manchin (D-WV) announced
$343,125 in funding from the U.S.
Department oi~Health and Human
Services for West Virginia
University (WVU) in targeting
SHP2 as a precision medicine for the
treatment of HER2-positive breast
cancer.
"The West Virginia Department
of Health & Human Resources
estimates 300 women in West
Virginia die from breast cancer
every year. Continuing to invest in
cancer research is the only way we
will discover a cure," Senator
Manchin said. "I am proud of the
work - that students and
researchers at WVU are doing to
advance this cause and I am sure
that this funding will lead us closer
to that goal."
Manchin Encourages West
Virginians to Review FCC Map to
Ensure it Reflects Accurate
Broadband Coverage
Following the Federal
Communications Commission's
(FCC) release of the Mobility
Fund II Initial Eligible Areas Map,
Senator Man hin is urging
communities across West Virginia to
review the map and make sure it
accurately represents the coverage
on the ground. Last year, the FCC
answered Senator Manchin's call to
provide $4.53 billion to expand
mobile broadband coverage
through Mobility Fund II. The
Initial Eligible Areas Map is a
critical step towards determining
the areas that are eligible to receive
this support. However, any state or
local government that believes the
map overstates the broadband
coverage Ievels currently available
can submit a challenge to ensure
Mobility Fund II accurately targets
the un-served and under served
communities across West Virginia.
"We all know that in order to
succeed in our 21st century economy
West Virginians need access to
reliable, high-speed internet,"
Senator Manchin said. "I applaud
the FCC for answering my call to
move forward on the Mobility Fund
Phase II, but we only have one
chance to get this right. I encourage
every West --. Virginian to take a
minute and look at this map. If the
map depicts coverage that you do not
have contact your local officials, the
state, or my office so we can submit
a challenge.
I won't stop fighting until every
corner of West Virginia has reliable,
affordable broadband service." To
