BOX 1000 HINTON, WV 25951 LETTER TO THE EDITOR WHAT HAPPENS Dear Sir: What happens to the money? Reportedly, there is no money for the jail, fire departments and or equipment, dogcatcher wages, sher- iffcars and deputy salaries, or other *essentials" or necessities, condu- cive to the day to day operation and good management of local affairs. There is a law called ~reedom of information act" which does work in obtaining information from the fed- era] government concerning it's operation. Is our local politicians immune or above this law? It seems as though in our county all or most of the funds for it's operation are fun- neled through the County Commis- sion even though part timers. Are they still getting their full salaries? I would like to see a financial report for Summers County. Just how much money, and how does it get spent or rather allocated by our commission- era? Another line of thought on our jail situtation is, since it is so inhumane to incarcerate drug abusers, intoxi- cated drivers, and other offenders of society in such a facility that is lack- ing in educational advantages, a library, and hot and cold running- water, lovers, and others, it is deemed inadequate and illegal. There could be a major tax levy COL ~ AVIL & TIB~PLS fir. IIIN'PON, WVm, l~iON]g 411-11Ibis Mark Ellimn, R. Ph. Analgesic Rubs for Muscle Aches & Pain Muscle aches and pains can be cm=cd by exc siv ysical ac. dvity, viral in_fecdons, stress, poor postm'¢, andodcrfaclms. Muscle pain may show up/n any area of the body that is near muscle - in the head neck, low back area, legsr arms, and shoulders. Cold e apy (e.g., ice packs) is rv mmmmuled initially for many spot.related muscleinjtuics. Heat therapy (e.g., hot water boule and healing pads) often is recom- mended for aches and pain that occur one to two days following muscle injury. Analgesic rubs are applied to the skin to helprelieve musclepain. These me mmescription prod- uczs that produce "wmnth" and a sensation of slight "itching" in the skin. Tl se smsations serve to dislract the individual from deeper muscle pain. Ingredients that pro- duce this effect in the skin are called counto rnmnts. Countefim'tant product ingredients include methyl salicylate, campkor , eucalyptus oil, and volatile oil of nmstard. TO THE MONEY? enacted and build a fine new modern county correctional facility like some other municipalities have done. Then HOT DOGGY the does gooder bleed- ing hearts will be happy and these (jails) have an average two year waiting period to get in. There is more advantage in jail than out? There has to be something wrong with this scenario. You think that this is just a scenario. Tell it to the folks around Cincinnati as well as others. There has to be answers, but it will take someone smarter than I. What happens to the money? Dear Commissioners if you would cooper- ate by showing us, the tax payers, where and how you have spent the money ( a financial report), you might expect or at least hope for our coop- eration, at election time too. Respectfully, Leonidas R. (Leon) Moten Route 86, Box 20-A Jumping Branch, WV 25969 HINTON AMERICAN LEGION POST For several years there has been no American Legion Post in Hinton. There is a need for strong veterans organizations to help retain the benefits for all veterans.
