Emma Chanlett-Avery
Letter From Abroad
Emma Chanlett-Avery is spend-
ing part of the summer between her
junior and senior years at Hinton
High with a Japanese family. She
received a Japan-V.S. Senate schol-
arship for the six-week trip. She will
return the second week of Aug.
Dear Editor:
I've only spent a week with my
host family, but already I feel that
I've learned so much. Being a for-
eigner is compelling, at times frus-
trating, but always rewarding. These
seven days of concentrated culture
have enriched my life immeasura-
bly.
The most important element of
my experience has been my contact
with the people of Japan. I've at-
tended Naga High School for the
past week to be greeted by incredi-
bly enthusiastic and inquisitive
students. My host family has also
been wonderfully warm and welcom-
ing, and each day I feel more relaxed
and comfortable with my surround-
ings.
Another prominent aspect of the
Japanese people is their generosity.
During my pre-departure orienta-
tion I learned some simple origam,
(art of paper folding). After seeing
me practicing my origami skills on.
some notebook paper in class, my
classmates gave to me 3 packs of
colorful origami paper along with an
offer to teach me more difficult styles.
It is gestures like these that make
my stay so enjoyable.
Communication is a challenging
but not insurpassable task. Although
it is sometimes frustrating to not be
able to fully convey my thoughts,
this frustration serves as an incen-
tive tolearn as much ofthe language
as possible. My struggling Japanese
skills are often a source of great
amusement at the dinner table.
Youth for Understanding, the
program that sponsors my trip, has
a slogan that reads "Equally logical
but different." I often remind myself
of these four words as I catch myself
criticizing or questioning a Japa-
nese custom. I'm beginning to under-
stand that the only reason that I do

criticize is because I'm looking at the
situation thourough my American
cultural sunglassos and I can fully
experience another culture only, if I
open my mind without prejudice.
Although I constantly am re-
minded of the countless differences
in culture, rye also realized that
people are people, and there is al-
ways some universal sympetry in
mankind.

Purpose
What is the purpose of a library?
Shall I assume - storing informs.
Lion and the personal consumption
of such information.
With noise pollution an unavoid-
able part of the technogical society,
should noise be an acceptable part o£
any library?
Should the people who support
the Summers County Library ac-
cept the Fact that noise is a major
part of the library system. I don't
believe so! Many people need silence
within the walls for proper concen-
tration.
Sure, it is nice to have stored
information as a means taking home
for consumption. However, many
children and adults have no place of
acquiring environmental silence.

the Oreenbrier River from the Gra-
ham house. According to oral tradi-
tion the old Lowell Hotel was con-
structed on the fort property
A total of 198 artifacts were re-
covered at this site, none of them
dating to the fort period. However,
the majority, according to the re-
port, are probably assocated with
the Lowell Hotolm which "is poten-
tially significant on its own."
The project was funded by a grant
awarded to the Summers County
Historic Landmark Commimdon by
the WV Division of Culture and
History. The archaeological survey
was performed in Aug. and Sept. of
1990 while the historical research
was carried out between July, 1990
and May, 1991.

RECOLLECTIONS

was begun anew and the Covington
and Ohio Railroad was taken over
by the Virginia Central. The name of
the entire line was changed to Che-
sapeake and Ohio Railroad Com-
pany and later, during reorganiza-
tion, was changed to the Chesap-
eake and Ohio Railway Company.
Mr. Hall's first run as locomotive
engineer was from Richmond, Vs.,
to Covington, Va., a distance of 205
vMlos. Later, when Staunton was
made a terminal and the C&O
reached Hinton, hisrun was changed
from Staunton, Va., to Hinton, W.Va.
When the railroad opened between
Hinton, W. Va., and Huntington,
W.Va., on Jan. 29,1873 he had a run
from Staunton, Va., to Kanawha
ENGINEEB HALL VISITS
HINTON:
Mr. L. B. Hall was-born near
Richmond, Va., in Hanover County
in the late 1840'S. In 1868 he was
hired as a fireman by the Virginia
Central Railroad in Richmond, Vs.,
and was promoted to locomotive
engineer in 1870 for the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railroad Company.
The Virginia Central Railroad
reached Jackson River (Clifton
Forge, Va.) July 10, 1857, was com-
pleted to Covington, Va., July 31,
1867 and was to connect there with
the Covington and Ohio Railroad.
Work had been started on the Cov-
ington and Ohio in 1850 but was
considerably delayed by the Civil
War. After hostilities ended, work
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
R.E.A.C.H.
Dear Fred,
This letter is to introduce
R.E,k.C.H. (Reaching Everyone to
Assistin Creating Healthier Homes),
a non-profit community organiza-
tion to assist victims of domestic
and/or sexual abuse/violence.
R.E.A.C.H. will soon be able to re-
ceive clients and referrals at 127
Ballengee St. This location presently
houses Loaves and Fishes, an al-
ready successful community out-
reach project for citizens of Sum-
mers County.
Members of the Summers County
SENIOR NEWS
Ministerial Council were invited to
the Women's Resource Center in
Raleigh Co. and were encouraged to
form a support group for victims of
domestic violence in this county. The
Family Refuge Center in Greenbrier
Co. was equally enthusiastic about
us forming a grou p. We soon became
aware that more immediate help was
needed, i.e, a telephone help line,
transportation to a safe location, and
accompanying/advocating for legal
and medical services.
For the past year we have been
educating ourselves, devising our
training program, and establishing
contacts in our community so that
we can become an effective advocacy
program. We are in communication
with Safe Houses" within our county
and adjoining counties and with
organizations similiar to R.E.A.C.H.
Our telephone is being installed and
our brochure is being printed. We
are ready to talk to community,
school, and church groups, t edu
cats, to raise awareness, and to seek
volunteers.
We are excited about the work of,
and the possibilities for R.E-.C.H.
We inform you of its purpose and
formation because we know you are
a valuable resource for our commu-
nity. We will be in contact with you
SOOn.
Sincerely yours

Engineer Hall resided in Hinton
for a number of years. He moved
back to Richmond in 1879 where he
continued to reside and work but
like Lon Alley, had system seniority
and could work wherever he chose.
In Aug. 1912 Mr. Hall and his
wife returned to Hinton, the guest in
the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Wise.
It was their first trip back to Hinton
since they moved to Richmond in
1879. We remember Mr. Wise, whose
nickname was "Cabbage" when he
was Captain of local passenger
Trains No's 16 and 13 between Hin-
ton and Clifton Forge.
While in Hinton Mr. Hall was
interviewed by a reporter for Hinton
Daily News and Leader. Mr. Hall
stated that when his run was be-
tween Staunton and Hinton and
between Staunton and Kanawha
Falls he ran locomotives No's 49 and
55. Wood was used for fuel and he
said he frequently burned as much
as seventeen cords in a half a days
run. The wood was brought by the
company and stacked along the track
at various places and loaded on the
engine tender as it was needed.
All trains at that time used the
very steep grade over the mountain
at Jerrys Run as work on Lewis
Tunnel had not been commenced.
"The White at White Sulphur
Springs at that time was considered
quite a good sized place and a great
summer resort.
Mr. Hall said when he first ran s
train into Hinton there were only a
few houses, fronting along the rail-
road track on Front St., and that the
court house was being built at that
time. It was located far away from
any other buildings. He said when
he first came to Hinton John W.
Flanagan was calling crews, G. S.
Netherlands was the Superinten-
dent and the shop facilities consisted
of a small round house near the
river. At the time of the interview,
Mr. Hall's run was passenger trains
No's 2 and 29 between Gordonsville,
Va., and Richmond, Va.
After calling crews, John W.
Flanagan was given a job as fireman
and engineer. He and his fireman,
Michael Quinn, were killed March
12, 1907 when their train, fast pas-
senger Train No. 3, struck a slide
just east of Wiggins. Mr. Flannagan
had been a locomotive engineer for
thirty years and was one of the old-
est men in point of service on the
C&O when he was killed.

the unavaihbility of foods or due to

Antibiotics are Needed
for Strep Throat
Sometimes a sore throat repre-
sents more than minor irritation
resulting from a cough or cold. Oc-
casionally a sore throat is the result
of an infection caused by beta
hemolytic streptococci bacteria.
When this type of infection oc-
curs, the condition is commonly
referred to as "strcp throaL" If a
strep throat infection is left un-
treated it can lead w rheumatic
fever and heart damage in chil-
dren. For this reason it is impor-
tam that children who complain of
sore throat for more than 4 to 5
days be see by a physician.
Typically a sup throat causes
painful swallowing, tonsil swel-
ling and tenderness, and fever.
According to an article in the
journal Patient Care, sore throat
along with coughing, itchy eyes,
and lymph node swelling in the
neck frequently are signs of a viral
infection that may be mistaken for
strep throat. The best way m loll
the differer'is thave a culture of
the * .made by a physi-
cian. The procure provides for a
more accura diagnosis which aids
in selection of the best treatmenL
According to many physicians,
the best treaunent for strop throat
is either a single intramuscular in-
jection of penicillin or oral peni-
cillin tablets for 10 days. If there is
the possibility of allergic reaction
to penicillin, eythr omycin appears
to be the antibotic most often rec-
ommended.
A voluntary report to our customers
New Intake in Hinton Hakes a Difference
The source of supply for drinking water in Hinton is the
New River. Before the new intake was placed in service in
1990, water was drawn from the side of the river where the
plant is located. Due to siltation over a period of years, the old
intake was only a few feet from the bank. It's replacement
facility was designed to extend into the river to an area of
adequate depth for low level flows. This has improved the
quality of our source of supply.
West Virginia-American Water Company prides itself on
meeting Federal and State water quality standards; and we wil!
strive to continue to meet the current and future standards,
Providing quality drinking water is an on-going, and some-
times difficult, challenge and we feel privileged to continue
this important service to our customers.
A number of new drinking water regulations have been
promulgated by the United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) in the areas of organic and inorganic chemicals,
corrosion control, improved disinfection, control of micro-
organisms through improved filtration, radiological monitor-
ing and disinfection by-products control.
Thee new standards, currently in place and to be
implemented over the next five years, will necessitate changes
in treatment and operation, and possibly require new con-
struction in some areas of West Virginia.
