Letter to the Editor Truth Not Suppose to Hurt Dear Editor, This is response on Complaint Unfair, in the Dec. 9 issue of the paper. I was not saying that ACWP didn't make mistakes, because everyone makes mistakes. I have dealt with ACWP before and have had no problems. Yes, I do have caller ID because on it shows up T. Lawson. Yes, Teresa did call back on Nov. 24, but I'd been calling since Nov. 11. Not only do I have caller ID, I have an answering machine and I'm a stay at home Morn. So try again. The truth is the truth, and it's not suppose to hurt anyone. Kim Downard Hinton Letter to the Editor Mournful Over Murder of Son Dear Editor: First of all, I believe any evidence that would have incriminated anyone, other than the juvenile that supposedly killed my son Kreggory Don Ward, was messed up by the County Sheriff's Department. I wish I was as sure of my son walking in the door today, as I am of who the true murderer is. I would especially like to thank Trooper Anthony Reed for all the time and effort he put in on this case. The case was turned over to the State Police the day after my son was beat with a baseball hat and I believe he did an exceptional job. Thank you Trooper Anthony Reed. I wish we had more like you. I have a copy of the last letter from my son that is dated Aug. 19, 2002. The State Police has this letter but the prosecutor does not want to return it to me in case there's an appeal. Why would the boy want to appeal when he just got a slap on the hand? I'm sure I wouldn't destroy this letter, as it is very precious to me. If Mr. McNeely ever needed it I'm sure he would get it. I would never destroy it. I wasn't permitted to read this letter in the courtroom. I believe this letter proves that the allegations of alleged sexual misconduct by my son Kreg can be proven wrong. In the letter he said, "I did not ever do anything sexual with that boy. I'm dying now. I want this to haunt that kid forever. He is a liar." I know how Kreg felt. To constantly have something like this on your mind. People calling you all night on the phone, harassing you, J like they did the Sunday night before he was murdered. Like Kreg, I'm dying. The thoughts of him day and night, awake or asleep, have made me physically sick. The way they called and tortured him mentally is unbelievable. I told him so many times. "Kreg they're gonna set you up. He'd say, 'I know it Mommy.  Which is what they did on the night he died. Lois C.

BOOTH AND THE BERKSHIRE ENGINES: the busy World War II years. He was with the inspectors group them, when the 1220, first of the group, was outshopped at Lima, Ohio., and was in Hinton now, when the 1225, sixth of the group, came into Hinton on the N.R.H.S. special onAug. 10th. The following, prepared by Mr. Booth, reflects on the 1225 and his service with the C&O: "Pictured here is the inspector's group that supervised the building of the Pere Marquette locomotives, Class N-1 numbers 1220 through the 1229 in July 1941 at Lima Locomotive Works, Lima, Ohio. "Locomotive 1225 that pulled the special train into Hinton, Saturday, Aug. 10, 1991, was the sixth locomotive of ten outshopped at Lima. "Larry H. Booth, the surviving member of the inspection team is shown at the left in the second line from the bottom. "The Pere Marquette [Railroad] i was bouglt i n 1929 whe the Va Swerigan Brothers dissolved their Then and Now: Very few people in Hinton today are aware of the history connected with the Pere Marquette Railroad and engine 1225 that assisted Nickel Plate engine 765 on the National Railroad Historical Society excursion Saturday, Aug. 10, 1991. In 1941, owned by the C&O but holding to its autonomy, the Pere Marquette Railroad purchased ten Berkshire 2-8-4 steam locomotives from Lima Locomotive works. The total weight of the engine and tender was 802,500 pounds. They had 26" x 34" cylinders producing 2,979 horse power. Sixty-nine inch drivers and 69,350 pounds traction effort. A powerful and beautiful engine of that era. The pictures accompanying this article shows Larry H. Booth and the Berkshire engine then and now. Mr. Booth was night Rotindlouse Foreman at Hinton, W. Va., during railroad complex consisting of the C&O, Pere Marquette, Erie, and Nickel Plate. The Pere Marquette, while owned by the C&O, operated as an autonomous railway until 1955. "At a staff meeting at the Greenbrier Hotel [White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.], Mr. W. J. Tuohy, President of the C&O, made his opening remarks and concluded by turning to Mr. M. M. Cronk, President of the Pere Marquette and Mr. C. A. Taylor, Vice President C&O, and directed both to make an immediate move to integrate the Pere Marquette into the C&O system. "Mr. Cronk, a very kind and earing individual, rose to his feet and stated that he fully understood those directives and to assist in that he was submitting his resignation as President of the Pere Marquette. Thus, the Pere Marquette ceased to be and became the Northern Region of the C&O. Mr. Cronk was retained as a Vice President of the C&O until his retirement. "In 1943 Larry Booth became night Roundhouse Foreman at the local shops [Hinton] until 1948 when he was moved to Huntington as General Roundhouse Foreman. In 1949 Larry was appointed Master Mechanic of the Chicago Division which extended from Chicago, Ill., to Cincinnati, Ohio, with headquarters at Peru, Indiana. "He was the youngest man ever appointed to this position, being just 34 years of age. In 1952 he was promoted to General Master Mechanic and returned to Huntington. His territory extended from Hinton, W. VA., to Chicago, Ill., and all intermediate lines inclusive. He subsequently was Superintendent of Motive Power and retired in 1976 as Assistant Chief Mechanical Officer - Locomotives of the Chessie System.

Acne: Medicines Prescribed Axe Usually Based on Severity Common acne (medical term is acne vulgaris) is a condition commonly encountered during adolescence. In western and most Asian countries, acne affects 80 to 95% of all teenagers. Many different factors are associated:with acne including genetic makeup, weather changes, diet, and stress. Studies have shown that there is little evidence linking a greasy or fatty diet to increased episodes of this skin condition. Harsh facial scrubbing can often make symp- toms worse. While squeezihg a pimple may appear to clean the inflamed area, it actually forces irritating chemicals deeper into the skin. Most people usually outgrow their acne by the age of 20. With treatment, acne usually clears up but recovery may take 6 to 8 weeks or longer. Symptoms often get worse before clearing up. Those with mild acne may get relief from over-the-counter products containing benzoyl peroxide (Acne-5) or salicylic acid (Stri- dex). For mild to moderate acne tOpical prescription antibiotics such as tetracycline or erythro- mycin sometimes are prescribed. Oral antibiotics like doxyo'cline in addition to topical antibiotics used over a period o.f months can help relieve moderate to severe acne. For more severe cases, hormones and/or isotretinoin (Accutane) are considered treatments of choice.
