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.

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.

Week Five:
ARTISANS

Do to the fine reception that the
Artisan Showcase has received this
show has been extended through
Valentines Day, Feb. 14. Future
schedules of demonstrations and
musical entertainment will be
announced in the near future. The
present show was due to close on
Sat., Dec. 20.
The crowds this past weekend
were thick. On Fri. Night Doug
Harper entertained andh was well

On Sat. it was standing room only
for the Billy Goat Gruff band who
brought the house down with their
high-energy music.
Lorie McKinney and Laura
Fitzgerald entertain this coming Fri.
It will be two separate entertainers,
not a duo. Both have original
material and both are very talented
W. Va. song writers. Entertainment

all excited about the renaissance of
Art and Music that is taking p!aee
in Hinton.
The artisans urge our local
citizens to Shop Hinten First and to
patronize all the stores here this
Holiday Season. The Holiday Spirit
seems to have risen to a new level
this year with the great lights
around the town, the music in the
streets and the Winter Wonderland.
Its been snowier than we can
remember in recent years so why
bother to leave the valley. Enjoy a
hometown holiday this season.

LARRY H. 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.
