Letter to the Editor:
Budget
Reductions and
our West
Virginia State
Park System
Dear Editor:
West Virginia state parks hold a
special place in the hearts of those
who live here and those who visit
our great state, but our state park
system has experienced recent
budget cuts to the point that any
further reduction in funding will
result in the possible closing of parks
or the loss of facilities. We have seen
the result of the first round of state
budget cuts of 10% here in our
county with the closing of overnight
camping in the Bluestone Public
Hunting and Fishing Area and the
I The next roundof cuts projected to
be another 10% reduction will
.. adversely affect the operations of
both Bluestone State Park and
Pipestem Resort State Park. These
two parks provide not only local jobs
but also provide a safe and
affordable location for family events
along with numerous hiking and
biking trails, svsn'mming, boating and
numerous other outdoor activities.
According to the Z015 economic
impact study conducted by the
Institute for Service Research, state
park funding cuts would be
counterproductive at a time when
West Virginia needs to increase its
revenue. In FY15, for every $1 of
general tax revenue provided to
West Virginia State Parks, $13.15
was generated in new revenue that
wouldn’t have been there if not for
the operation of the state parks. The
states investment of approximately
$17 million into our state park
system resulted in an approximate
$226.5 million return. This money
was generated by visitors who
travel here to enjoy our beautiful
state and state parks. The West
Virginia State Park system has
experienced several years of budget
reductions and as a result of these
cuts we have already seen the
reduction of some services and
declining infrastructure. We know
that this year’s budget is challenging
for our state representatives but all
the West Virginia State
Please let our state
representatives know how
important our West Virginia State
Parks are to our county by reaching
out to them with the message:
Support Our Parks No More
Budget Cuts.

AVOID MOSQUITO BITES
Mosquito bites can be more than
just annoying and itchy. They can
make you really sick from diseases
that are transmitted by bites.
Protect yourself and your family
when outdoors by following these
tips:
-Use mosquito repellents
containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535,
and oil of lemon eucalyptus and
wear repellents during all times
when outdoors.
-Consider wearing long-sleeved
shirts and pants
—Remove potential mosquito
breeding sites near homes such as
containers with standing water,
tires, etc. Mosquitos can breeding
very small amounts of standing
water.
—Make‘sure that window and door
screens are intact to prevent
mosquitoes from coming indoors.

SPRING FOREST FIRE
SEASON
County Forest Ranger Tom Halki
has some debris burning tips for all
landowners and home owners this
spring.
If burning must be done-be safe
not sorry! Follow these tips for safely
burning leaves, grass, weeds, brush,
stubble, slash, stumps, and other
vegetative debris:
1. Burn Debris After 5:00 p.m.
.«smxiemamuarmawmsgw;
And
*It must be completely out by 7:00
am.
*Evening is the Safest time to
burn.
Less Wind Higher Humidity
(Moisture) Cooler Temperatures =
Less Chance For Fire Escape.
2. Never burn on dry, windy days.
*Wind dry conditions = escaped
fire
3. Select a safe place.
*Cleared area 10 feet around
debris.
*Plowed field.
*Away from overhead
obstructions.
4. Have tools on hand.
*Shovel, rake.
*Water.
5. Stay with fire until it’s out.
*It’s the law.
If your fire escapes, you are liable
for the cost of fighting the fire and
any damage the fire may do to
others. ‘

“Your Full-Service Service Station”
.‘ss-
B
Religion and Railroading.
Reprint from The Train
Dispatcher with permission.
Ever since the first public railroad
began operating in the year 1830,
there has always been something of
a tie between railroading and
religion. It was on a religious holiday
that the steam engine, “The Best
Friend of Charleston" pulled a string
of cars in regular service for the first
time on this continent, and thus gave
birth to the railroad industry.
But in those early days of
railroading there were some
companies that refused to run their
trains on Sunday. One of these, the
Morris & Essex of New Jersey
(M&E) was nicknamed the
“Methodist & Episcopal” because of
its non-operating Policy on the
Sabbath.
In English and Scottish churches,
railroad scenes on stained glass
windows are fairly common, but we
have been able to locate only one
instance where a stained glass
window was installed in a church in
this country. That was in the St.
Paul’s Methodist Church of Stevens
POint, Wis. The church was built in
1889. An engineer named John
Lonnan was employed on the
Wisconsin Central and he loved his
engine, Old No. 28, almost as much
as he loved his church. When he
conceived the idea for the memorial
window in the new church, it was as
much to perpetuate the “old 28” as it
.
.
l-
.9313. "i," i“.
Ply-"(Roy C. Long
was to help with the church
construction. He had unbounded
enthusiasm for the project and
secured many and considerable
contributions from railroad
workers, particularly fellow
engineers. A newspaper item about
the new church noted, “When the
new church edifice reached
completion, John realized his
greatest ambition to immortalize
his regular engine by means of a
church window a leaded, stained
glass replica of the 28, complete with
long, rakish pilot, Yankee diamond
stack and a purple glass black smoke
plume floating away in the
background.”
When there were still numerous
passenger trains, and busy
passenger stations in larger cities, a
familiar sight in many of those
stations was the “Waiting Room
Pulpit.” It was started in 1926 by the
Spiritual Aid Foundation, and the
pulpits ministered to the railroad
travelers through the printed word.
Each pulpit held an attractive
illustrated poster with a brief and
striking message. Just below the
lectern a suspended rack holding
four gospel messages which were
free for the taking. In recent years,
it is said that Waiting Room Pulpits
have been added to bus stations and
airports in many cities.
At least two famous hymns have
railroad origins. In 1874, Ira D.
Sankey, singer and evangelist, was
riding a train from Edinburgh to
Glasgow, Scotland, when he read
Cecelia Celephane’ s poem, “The
Ninety and Nine. “ That evening he
attended a service where Dwight L.
Moody preached, and Moody ended
by asking the well-known Sankey to
sing something “appropriate.”
Sankey took his copy of the poem
from his pocket, improvised the tune
on the organ as he sang and» gave the
world one of its best-known hymns.
The second hymn is “The Home of
the Soul.” The poem was written
following a dream in which Phillip
Phillips, singer and musician, saw
two characters from Pilgrim’s
Progress enter the beautiful gates. It
was set to music, and has been sung
at thousands of funerals.
There have been many railroad
evangelists who toured the high iron
and preached in switch shanties and
even hobo Jungles. One of the best
known railroaders who preached as
a sideline was David J. Fant, Sn, a
locomotive engineer on the
Southern Railway for more than 40
years. His run was between
Greenville, SC. and Atlanta, GA.,
and it said that he had preached in
every city and hamlet along the line.
His locomotive had a copper plate
attached to the cab on which was a
bible opened to John 17:17
proclaiming, “thy word is truth.”
Engineer Fant retired in 1939.
