COMMUNITY SUPPORT
The Hinton Lions Club is asking
for the Communities support in
helping to provide those who need,
eye examinations or eye glasses.
The Hinton Lions have been
providing assistance for over 18
years and are asking community
organizations and businesses as well
as citizens for monetary donations
to continue providing help to those
in need in our community. As news
spreads of the help being provided,
requests are now outnumbering the
Lions Club's ability to help.
Once a request is received, the
individual's application is screened
to insure that other avenues of
assistance are pursued before the
Lions Club provides help.
Donations can be mailed to: Lions
Club, Sight Assistance Program,
P.O. Box 1321, Hinton, WV 25951.
Checks should be made out to:
Hinton Lions Club.

BARNS OF SUMMERS COUNTY - West Virginia Heritage
An extract from the book for your enjoyment
By Phyllis Campbell Whitley
: :: :.:: .:.: :: :
:-.:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: .:.::
Carter Farm on Webbs Gate Road, Forest Hill District
This horse barn on "Dunroven
Farm" on Webbs Gate Road in the
Forest Hill District was constructed
just for that - to house horses and
to store the hay/grain to feed them.
The horses were used for farming
but more often for hauling trees cut
from nearby woods to the sawmill
behind the property owned by
neighbors, the Mitchells.
Beginning with a stone
foundation, the barn was built
around 1820. The stones were
gathered from around the farm.
Oak was used in the framing and
poplar boards were used to finish
the structure. All the lumber came
from nearby trees and sawed at the
on-site sawmill.
William Allyn Carter, the present
owner of the property, is the son of
the late William Albert and Lena
Pauline (Allen) Carter. He has
records of the previous owners
of the property that date back
prior to May 18, 1901 when it was
owned by " the old Minner Clan"
and subsequently divided between
John P. McNeer and wife; H. L.
Crawford and wife; and R. McNeer.
Other court records indicate that
somewhere along the line it came
to a Mr. I Roach who sold it to
W. Baumgardner on December 5,
1932. On September 8, 1937 Mr.
Baumgardner sold the property
to E. Ryan. Records indicate that
one month later E. Ryan sold the
property to B. Ryan. On September
5, 1945 B. Ryan sold the property
to W.A. (William Albert) Carter.
Bruce Carter, son of William Allyn,
currently lives at the farm.
Another barn on the "Dunrovin
Farm" is in the book.
Mrs. Whitley is a lifetime
member of the Summers County
Historical Society. The book can be
purchased at the Summers County

laboratory technician program has
been awarded initial accreditation
from the National Accrediting
Agency for Clinical Laboratory
Sciences (NAACLS). The MLT
program was launched at New River
CTC in the fall of 2016 and
graduates from the program have a
100% job placement rate.
"There is a critical shortage of
trained and certified laboratory
professionals nationwide, and the
shortage in southern West Virginia
is becoming a health care crisis,"
explained MLT Program Director
Diane Tyson. "We're thrilled to have
received accreditation from
NAACLS and to be able to train
students to meet the need locally."

vital role in health care. They
perform phlebotomy and analyze
tissues, blood and body fluids to help
physicians diagnose and treat
diseases or monitor a patient's
health. New River CTC's MLT
program prepares graduates for
technician-level positions in clinical
laboratory environments in
hospitals, physician's offices,
commercial laboratories,
biotechnology, research laboratories,
pharmaceutical companies and
veterinary laboratories.
"I've had the opportunity to hire
and work with three of New River
CTC's MLT students, and I remain
impressed with their level of
knowledge, their desire to continue
learning and growing as they work
in the lab, their work ethic, and their
Ievel Of care and compassi0n~fdr the
patients and their cow0rkers," said
Plateau Medical Center
Administrative Lab Director
Deborah Robbins.
The MLT program is a selective
admission program, meaning that
students must apply to and be
accepted into the program before
enrolling in program coursework.
Prerequisite courses include
chemistry, anatomy and physiology
and college algebra.

MLT program, contact Tyson at 304-
