assessment.

ttope in this effort," said Zack Bacon,
Appalachian Power energy
efficiency coordinator. "By
performing these audits, Rea of
Hope can save money on their
energy bills, which in turn can be
used by the group to help more
individuals."

Assessment is available to eligible
Appalachian Power residential
customers in West Virginia Under

a custom report on the home and

provided to eligible residential
customers free-ofcharge Eligible
residential customers can also elect
to pay a nominal fee to receive a
more in depth energy analysis of
their home.
"The first step to saving energy
is finding out where you're wasting
it," Bacon said.

" We are currently having interim
meetings at the Capitol. As you
know, the purpose of interim
meetings are to discuss the impact
of past legislation and to assemble
information for future legislation.
This is the second year we have had
abbreviated interim meetings. We
have reduced the expense of having
these meetings considerably by
getting our meetings done in a two
day period rather than the past
practice of three days.
I am on the joint education
committee and ~ve met yesterday
(Sunday) for two hours. The focus
of our meeting had to do with
the Education Audit of 2012.
We were supplied with a great
deal of information from several
sources. It appears that, though
the audit was four years ago and
made specific recommendations
as to the efficiency of education
administration in West Virginia,
we have not fully complied with
those recommendations. We were

supplied a line graph showing the monthly fee from its customers
decrease of personnel in the WVDE
building of around 75 employees.
Hidden in another section of the
report was a note talking about
the number of positions (26) being
repurposed to the RESA system.
It would appear that reducing the
bureaucracy in education cannot be
left to the bureaucrats to resolve.
Also discussed in the meeting was
the issue of allowing students
being homeschooled to participate
in the sports and extracurricular
activities in public schools.
Legislation was offered in the last
session to allow this but, though it
passed in the senate, did not pass
in the House Education Committee.
I am confident that legislation
will be offered in the next session
to deal with the education audit
and the issue of homeschoolers
being allowed to participate in
extracurricular activities in public
schools.
In the joint committee on health
the topic of Direct Primary Care-
was presented by three doctors. It
was stressed that this type of care
was already in place in Wheeling
and surrounding areas. Basically
this type of care starts with a
and provides services in health
care for less money to the patient.
It is a new concept to me but at
this point I would consider it as
an alternative to avoiding the high
co-pays and deductibles of most
current healthcare plans. We will
study it in greater detail in the
coming months and I will be able
to provide a more concise picture at
some point.
Finally, we were briefed by
General Hoyer and transportation
Director Mattox concerning flood
recover and cleanup efforts in our
state General Hoyer of the National
Guard reports that .the response of
citizenry throughout West Virginia
and volunteers from other states
was excellent. He further reports
that, though much remains to be
done, the hard work of the National
Guard, local communities and other
volunteers has been superb.
As always I encourage you to
contact me as you see fit. I can be
reached at 304 466 5523 or at 304

would be after dark as I am finishing
