Water Supply Laws
Under Consideration
By Tom Mil'ler
PressNet Reporter
West Virginia is one of only two
Ea§t Coast 'states that' doesn't have
laws regulating the use of its water
supply and a legislative interim
committee is drafting a bill to
overcome that deficiency, according
to Sen. John Unger, D-Berkeley.
=We don't want an out-of-state
entity taking our water, said Unger,
who is cochairman cf the
subcommittee. %Ve don't want to
run out of capacity."
During three days of meetings
here in Greenbrier County last
week, legislators indicated the most
recent draft bill would require
registration of those who use an
Minardl D-Harrison, is cechairman
and he said that he hopes a bill can
be drafted by November by the
Government Organization
subcommittee.
=It would need to be permissive,
said Craig Mohler, president of the
Monroe County Commission.
=Something like local planning
needs to be tailored to the
community."
Nancy Treat, president of
Monongalia County's planning
commission, said the existing laws
that were enacted in 1957, are very
much in need of revision.
=Right now the tools aren't there
in the (state) code, she said. =And
oRen, the code is not very clear."

requirements and would impose a legislators that tle firm's usinss
fee on those who do file the reports.
Industries that use a lot of water
have been meeting with
environmental groups and other
interested parties to try and reach
a consensus on the new legislation
but don't want to be required to
obtain permits for water use and pay
fees, according to Karen Price,
executive director of the West
Virginia Manufacturers Association.
Members of the state Legislature
also learned during the latest round
of interim sessions that the state
Teachers' Retirement System is even
more underfunded than they knew.
Twenty-year-old assumptions
about the life-expectancy of retired
teachers and the age when they
retire have proven to be wrong,
according to Harry Mandel, actuary
for the state Consolidated Public
Retirement Board. He said this
means the unfunded liability in the
pension fund is about $250 million
more than what had been estimated
previously.
He said 1983 studies projected
that many retired teachers would
die in their early 80s but =that's just
not happening." Teachers are
retiring earlier, than anticipated as
well which puts additional pressure
on the fund.
Lawmakers will have to come up
with about $40 million of additional
funds in the 2004 state budget as a
result of these revised figures.
Another legislative subcommittee
heard.ttimony from oicials from
somerural counties about the need
for updating state laws on county
planning and zoning. Sen. Joe
is booming.
David Gnass, chief executive
officer for National Specialty Clinics
of Nashville, TN, said his company
operates six of the seven methadone
clinics now licensed in the state and
has more than 3,000 clients--nearly
twice the number the company
anticipated.
Methadone can curb addicts'
craving for drugs like heroin and
OxyContin for a fee of $12.50 per
dose but Genise Lalos, director of
addiction services at Huntington's
Prestera Center said many addicts
have a problem getting off the
methadone.
Legislators suggested the state
needs to do more to force the private
clinics and state-run behavioral
health centers such as Prestera to
work together on this growing
problem.
During the final day of meetings,
the Joint Committee on Government
and Finance delayed action on a
proposal to spend $50,000 for a
study to see if the three-state run
health insurance programs could be
combined to save money. Senate
Finance Chairman Walt Hehn'ck, D-
Pocahontas, said he thinks there
may be overlapping administration
and overlapping costs.
The state provides health
insurance to public employees
through the Public Employees
Insurance Agency, to children from
low-income families through the
Children's Health Insurance
Program and to the poor, elderly and
disabled through the Medicaid
program.

Receive Fife
Scholarship
Two 1993 Summers County High
School graduates have been
awarded college scholarships by Mr.
Eugene Fife. Paige Willey's
scholarship is for $7,500 a year for
four years and Candice Lilly's
scholarship is in the amount of
$5,000 a year for four years. Paige
is attending WVU and Candice
selected Marshall University.
Since 1987 fifty-two Summers
County high school students have
been selected as Fife Scholars and
have been awarded about
$1,800,000 to assist in their college
education.
Mr. Fife, a 1958 Hinton High
School graduate and former
chairman of Goldman Sachs,
delivered the commencement
address to the Hinton High School
graduating class in 1985. Following
that ceremony his mother, Mrs.
Pauline Fife, suggested that he
provide a scholarship to a Summers
County student.
TWo years later Shane Harvey
received a full four year scholarship
to Virginia Tech and later received
his law degree from WVU. Shane is
an attorney in Charleston.
The Pauline Fife Scholarships
honor a now 99 years young lady
who for many years was a teacher
at Hinton High School. It is
anticipated that members of the
2004 SCHS senior class, who have
at least a 24 ACT composite score
and a 3.4 grade point average in
grades 9 and above, will be invited
to apply for a Pauline Fife
Scholarship this Spring.
Paige Willey is the daughter of
Joe and Cathy WiUey of Nimitz and
Candice Lilly is the daughter of
Timothy and Caryll Lilly of Forest
Hill.

RAHALL REPORT
A Disservice Despite the Good
Service of Amerigorps
The fabric of America has always
been woven by neighbors helping
neighbors, and through the power of
the people to help build
communities. AmeriCorps is
America's needle and thread that
can continue to bind our Nation
together. Yet, the Republican
leadership's resistance in the U.S.
House of Representatives to fund
AmeriCorps, funding AmeriCorps
desperately needs, rips apart this
program's ability to blanket this
Nation.
This past July, the Senate
approved an emergency infusion of
$100 million for AmeriCorps, but
House Republican leaders refused to
go along, saying it would be a bad
investment even though President
Bush himself in 2002 pledged to
increase enrollment in AmeriCorps
from 50,000 participants to 75,000.
Yet, as of today he has yet to
intervene to help AmeriCorps in its
time of need, despite repeated
statements from his office that he
supports and plans to expand the
program.
Financial management errors
bettering America are allowed to
fulfill their individual missions.
According to the AmeriCorps
website more than 320 individuals
are serving in West Virginia
communities as AmeriCorps
members this year. In addition, to
this date, more than 3,100 West
Virginia residents qualified for
education awards through
AmeriCorps totaling more than
$7,000,000.
AmeriCorps members have
helped communities meet
challenges in education, public
safety, human needs, and the
environment. While some programs
deliver the opportunity for hands-on,
direct service, other programs
require members to coordinate,
develop, and manage projects.
AmeriCorps is open to individuals
who are 17 or older and are U.S.
citizens, nationals, or lawful
permanent residents. Members
serve full or part-time for a 10- to
12-month period. Full-time
members'receive an education
