others. The McQuaig's, co-founders

Hear etter, Live Better
(NAPS—According to the Cen—
ter for Hearing and Communica-
tion, over 48 million Americans
suffer from hearing loss, more
than those living with Parkin-
son’s, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s and
diabetes combined. What’s more,
80 percent of those over 65—some
23 million—don’t seek treatment.
The Problem
Untreated hearing loss can
lead to isolation and depression,
and recent research has found
that those with even mild hearing
loss are more likely to develop
dementia.
Now hear this: You can get a free
hearing test over the phone.
An Answer
To help people with hearing loss
stay connected with their loved ones
and not miss out on key moments in
life, Duracell is partnering with The
National Hearing Test to offer 50,000
free hearing tests by phone during
May, National Better Hearing Month,
at 1-844—9-Duracell (844-938-7223).
An Inspiration
The company also created
“Stay Connected,” a film featuring
the voice of award-winning actor
and director John Slattery (“Spot-
light,” “Mad Men”), that tells the
story of a father who slowly starts
to slip into isolation due to his
hearing impairment until he visits
an audiologist and is fitted for a
hearing aid.
The Free Test
The quick and convenient over-
the-phone hearing test, developed
with funding from the National
Institutes of Health, is scientifi-
cally validated and not for profit,
I and its results remain private to
the user.
To take the free hearing test, call

markets play in local economies.
“Farmers markets are an
important part of strong local and
regional food systems that connect
farmers with new customers and
grow rural economies. In many
areas, they are also expanding
access to fresh, healthy food for
people of all income levels,” said
Secretary Vilsack. “National
Farmers Market Week recognizes
the growth of these markets and
their role in supporting both urban
and rural communities.”
Throughout the week, USDA
officials will celebrate at farmers
market locations across the
country. On Saturday, Aug. 6,

Summers County
4-H Camp 2016
bydlZ-Aesleeroodrum, Summer-5' “
County 4-H Agent
Summers County 4-H held its
annual camp June 12-15, 2016 at
Camp Summers in Forest Hill, WV.
Although a storm forced camp to
close on June 15th instead of the
17th as planned, over 170 campers
enjoyed a great four days of camp!
This year's theme was Come on
Down to 4-H Camp. On Tuesday,
Cloverbuds came to 4-H Camp for
the day. Cloverbuds are 5-8 year olds
who are interested in seeing what
4-H camp is all about! While there,
they made crafts, toured camp, sang
songs, played parachute games, and
enjoyed a pizza party.
Unfortunately, camp ended early
after a storm knocked the power out
and a tree fell into a cabin. While
ending camp early was difficult, the
safety of campers is the top priority
for Summers County 4-H. Summers
County 4-H also appreciates the
understanding and patience of
parents in a very difficult situation.
Recognizing people paid for six days
of camp and were only able to have
four, Summers County 4-H is willing
to refund 1/3 of the price paid for
camp to those interested. Many have
said refunds aren't necessary, which
is greatly appreciated. Requests for
refunds must be made to
Lesley.Woodrum@mailwvu.edu by
July 31, 2016. Any refunds not given
To SUMMER
Will be used to pay for fiiture 4-H‘
camps and camp scholarships.
This year, tribes were full of 4-H
spirit. They were enthusiastic and
hardworking through the whole
week. During the week, the tribes
compete for points based on
cleaning, sports, swimming,
sportsmanship, bed checks, songs,
skits, and teamwork. Since camp
ended early, we didn't have an
opportunity to award the spirit stick
to a tribe, but all of the tribes did a
great job!
The chiefs and sags for 2016 4-H
Camp were: Cherokee: Shawn Gill,
Chief; and Holly Williams and J .0.
Wheeler, Sagamores. Delaware:
Sydney Rosenberg, Chief; Maddie
Lester and Jordan Huffman,
Sagamores. Mingo: Katie Ward,
Chief; Heather Browning and
Griffin Stone, Sagamores. Seneca:
Cameron Miller, Chief; Ashley Jones
and Kasey Fitzpatrick, Sagamores.
The chiefs and sags are responsible
for leading their tribe and setting a
good example. All of the chiefs and
sags worked hard and did a great
job during camp.
Each H of 4—H stands for
something important. The Head H
is for clearer thinking and making
good decisions. The Heart H is for
loyalty and caring. The Hand H
stands for helping others while the
Health H is for better living.
Thanks to all of the campers,
