WV’s Smallest Hospitals Like Those in Our Area Cannot Afford to Have Medicaid Reimbursement Pulled

image

Every member of West Virginia’s Congressional delegation is calling on those with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to take another look at revised regulations dealing with reimbursable costs for, what are considered, critical access hospitals.

With the changes, officials with the CMS are attempting to clarify the treatment of reimbursements for provider taxes.

Right now, CMS reimburses the state’s critical access hospitals for the provider taxes they pay under West Virginia law.

The changes would stop those reimbursements in the future, but also be applied retroactively, meaning the hospitals would have to pay back reimbursements from the past couple of years.

The change affects the state’s “critical access hospitals.“ Those are rural hospitals with 25 or fewer beds, like Roane General in Spencer, and Braxton County Memorial in Gassaway.

Second District Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito says such changes could cost about 18 of the smallest, most rural medical sites in West Virginia millions of dollars.

“In certain areas, like in a critical access hospital or a community health center, you get a higher reimbursement rate because it’s important to have access in rural areas to be able to attract health professionals and all those kinds of things,“ Congresswoman Capito said.

She says that’s why, on this issue, West Virginia cannot be treated the same way as other states.

“If these facilities close, then if you’re sitting over in Calhoun County or something, you have an emergency, you have to come all the way to Charleston,“ she said.  “That’s an hour and a half.  That’s life threatening.“

She signed a letter, this week, asking the CMS to look closer at the issue.

U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin, First District Congressman David McKinley and Third District Congressman Nick Rahall all signed the letter as well.

This link (http://bit.ly/JXQiqG) provides a lot of education on WV Critical Access Hospitals such as Minnie Hamilton- their origin and funding sources.  Unfortunately, even our health care is predicated on the income gap and those much hated “entitlement” programs. I am unsure as to why pay back of past reimbursements would be required and intend to research but suggest we all need to take the time, look at the maps and documentation provided and understand how the critical needs for all of us have been met over the years.

Legislative Update – by – Delegate Brent Boggs - House Majority Leader - 05.14.12

image

Anna Jarvis had it right many years ago when she initiated the recognition that we now know as Mothe’s Day.  Nothing compares to the love of a mother and I am thankful beyond words for my Mom and to be able to spend some time with her last Sunday on Mother’s Day.  I’m further blessed that I live close by to see her often, not to mention the positive influence she has on three generations of our family.  Whether your mom lives nearby, far away or if she’s no longer living, I hope each of you honored you mom on this special day.

Interim meetings were held this week, May 14, 15 and 16 at the Capitol.  These are the first interim meetings for 2012 and members are eager to get started with interim study assignments, initial preparations for new legislation during the 2013 regular session and refining bills for carryover.

Children are our future and our most important treasure.  They will be the workers, leaders, decision makers and taxpayers of tomorrow.  Among the bills passed and signed into law during the 2012 session are the following:


Senate Bill 161 (Reporting Sexual Abuse of a Child) expands the list of those required to report abuse and neglect of children, requires all persons to report sexual abuse of children, and increases the fine for those who fail to report. It requires any person over the age of 18 who has actual knowledge of or observes any sexual abuse or sexual assault of a child, must immediately report the abuse within 48 hours to the State Police or other law enforcement agency having jurisdiction.  The law-enforcement agency that receives a report under this subsection shall report the allegations to the Department of Health and Human Resources and coordinate with any other law enforcement agency as necessary to investigate the report.

Penalties for not reporting were raised from $100 to $1,000 as well as an increase in jailed confinement from 10 days to 6 months.


Senate Bill 507 (Involuntary Hospitalization/Firearm Possession/Mental Hygiene) authorizes a parent or guardian to commit a child without his or her consent if the child is under 18 years of age.  It also clarifies the procedures for previously involuntarily committed persons petitioning to regain the right to possess firearms to enable West Virginia to become eligible for federal funding.


Senate Bill 596 (Banning Child Erotica) prohibits the possession, distribution, display, or production of child erotica depicting minors under the age of 18. Any person found guilty of committing this offense will be subject to a misdemeanor and either be confined to jailed, fined or both.


Senate Bill 611 (At-Risk Youth Pilot Project) aims to improve outcomes for at-risk youth in West Virginia by creating a DHHR community based pilot project, if funds are available. At-risk youth are defined as those between birth and age 21 who are low-income; receive benefits from DHHR, and under the jurisdiction of DHHR, or who are in custody of juvenile services, juvenile court, or the alternative school system.  A centrally located, community-based non-profit organization that has adequate facilities and community leadership to facilitate the four year pilot project will be chosen by the DHHR and be put in a county with the most at-risk youth. The pilot project will be operated under the direction of DHHR and in collaboration with educational and juvenile justice entities.


House Bill 4130 (Felony Charge for Sale or Purchase of a Child) covers a multitude of situations regarding the sale or purchase of a child. The bill spells out that any person or agency who knowingly offers, gives or agrees to give to another person money, property, service or other thing of value to buy a minor child for any purpose which entails a transfer of the legal or physical custody of the child is guilty of a felony.  The bill also declares that any person who knowingly receives a child in a sale is also guilty of a felony and, subject to fine and imprisonment.  Upon conviction of this felony, a person will face up to one-to-10 years in a state correctional facility and fined $2,000 to $10,000.  The child may be placed in the custody of the Department of Health and Human Resource or with a responsible person as the best interests of the child dictate.

It is sad indeed that there are those in society that exploit and commit horrendous crimes against children.  The system is far from perfect, but it is the responsibility of all citizens to protect the most vulnerable among us.  I’m committed to always work to protect our children.

Please send address your inquiries to the Capitol Office at: Building 1, Room 226-M, Charleston, WV 25305.  Or, call the Capitol office at 304.340.3220 or my Assistant to the Majority Leader, Mr. Tom Bennett at 304.340.3262 or fax to 304.340.3213.  If you have an interest in any particular bill or issue, please let me know.

Mountaineer Food Bank receives $75,000 donation from 2011 One Shot Deer Hunt Event

Mountaineer Food Bank receives $75,000 donation from 2011 One Shot Deer Hunt event for Hunters Helping the Hungry‏

The money will go to the Hunters Helping the Hungry Program (HHH), administered by WVDNR, to distribute venison to needy families across the state through the Mountaineer Food Bank and other agencies.

The donation was made at the Food Bank’s headquarters in Gassaway, Braxton County, on May 10, 2012.

The Governor’s One Shot event is sponsored by WVDNR and the One Shot Committee.

Private individuals and businesses donate money for the opportunity to participate in guided antlerless deer hunts on private property near Stonewall Resort State Park in Lewis County and end the event with an auction and an award banquet.

All venison from the hunt, along with profits from the sponsorships, goes to HHH.

The first event in 2007 raised $17,000, the second in 2008 raised $35,000, the third in 2009 raised $50,000, and the fourth in 2010 raised $75,000.

The HHH program allows hunters to donate legally-harvested deer to certified processors so the meat can be distributed to soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, senior centers, missions, churches and community centers around the state.

The HHH program has been highly successful since it began in 1992, providing meals to the neediest of West Virginians.

However, the program also requires cash donations to pay for processing and distribution costs to benefit these needy individuals.

More information about the HHH program is available at wvdnr.gov/Hunting/HHH.shtm.

~~~ Readers' Comments ~~~


Looking at the results I find a real disturbing problem. How ignorant or maybe in some cases racist are people in this state. Keith Judd, Democrat running against Obama, received quite a bit of votes in these counties and the state. For those of you who don’t know he is a FEDERAL INMATE locked up in TEXAS. WV was the only state where his name was on the ballet. We wonder why are state gets this reputation. If you don’t agree with Obama on policies that’s fine vote Romney (Mormon) in November. If you don’t like Obama because of color, then DON’T VOTE, that is ignorance. In this case though, looks like a sure sign of racism, because anybody who would of reviewed the other candidate would of not voted for him or just not voted at all given his INMATE status.

By JR Smith  on  05.09.2012

You are correct.
WV had to show its hillbilly side.
Even if you do not like Obama you shouldn’t vote for a convicted felon! You just don’t vote.
Only 3 counties in WV voted more for a convicted felon than the president. Unfortunately one of them is Gilmer County. I guess we have to show the rest of the world how ignorant we are.

By Not ME  on  05.09.2012

The problem with the WV primary ballot is there are NO PLACES for write ins!  If Democrats could have voted for someone other than Keith Judd, then maybe they would have.  41% of the Democrats voted AGAINST Obama.  This is a primary election.  They know who they will vote for in November.

By Karen Pennebaker  on  05.09.2012

To JR Smith:

Obviously some of the voters didn’t take the time to look at the sample ballots and check out the candidates before they voted. Many think they vote for the best candidate. But do they really? Do they spend the time to figure out which candidate will do a good job if elected?

Based on some of the history of elections in Gilmer County and who was elected, I’d say many of the voters do not. They rely on word of mouth or how their family has always voted to make their choices. Then they complain when nothing happens or gets done.

The votes for Judd proves the point.

By Still anon  on  05.09.2012

You know, a simple fact is that some people just don’t really know HOW to vote or how to figure out who they’re voting for.  Just a thought and from what people have told me after voting day, but maybe a training course could be held at the Senior Center free of charge before the next election?

By Tell them how  on  05.09.2012

to still anon.

You are so correct sir or madam.
If they don’t like somebody they should not vote for that person rather than voting for someone else whom they even don’t know. This is another proof why our political system, our state, and county are so screwed up. People blindly vote for anyone and never think about the consequence of their action.
Voting for a convicted felon is awful. I bet you, most people did not know him which is exactly your point.
We always get pi**ed off because people from other states make fun of WV. You can blame this one only on West Virginians.

By JD C  on  05.09.2012

How can someone who is a convicted felon run for president anyway? Was our secretary of state the only idiot who fell for it? I guess that is no different that our sheriff metz running for magistrate with fake high school diploma!!!

By think about it  on  05.09.2012

Some of these people can’t even READ!!  Not their fault, look at how they grew up.  Give a man a fish, he’ll eat for a day, TEACH him to fish and he’ll eat for the rest of his life.

Teach them how to vote!!

By It IS a dot in a holler  on  05.09.2012

I think it is funny when you vote or do anything that is against Obama some people think that you are either ignorant or a racist.

By JIM 255  on  05.09.2012

grin To Not Me,
You are right! I didn’t have a clue who I was voting for when I voted for Keith Judd. When I found out today, I breathed a sigh of relief, because I realized that I had picked the better candidate. I applaud the 40% of the voters in the state who got this one right.

Burnt Weiney

P.S.
Actually, I think if you check, Judd won in 8 counties.

By Burnt Weiney  on  05.09.2012

To those of you who are ignorant of the real issue: It does not matter whether it is Obama, George Bush, or Romney, you should not vote for a convict even if you hate your president. What are you going to do if the convict becomes your president? Bi*ch again or celebrate?
You hate Obama? Just do not vote for him. If he is bad do you think you are making the matter better? What a lesson for our young children … Nothing but abhorrence,…  sick  red face

By so sad  on  05.09.2012

I know we as Americans have lost a lot of rights,but as far as I know.. We still have the right to vote for who we darn please..No one has the right to tell us who we can and can not vote for..

I guess you Obama lovers will be thrilled to see he just publicly endorsed same sex marriage..

By annon.  on  05.09.2012

To Mr. JR Smith and Not by me:
Just to make it clear when I start this comment, I am not racist. The color of one’s skin or their religion is not my concern. As far as calling WV ignorant for voting for a convicted felon I don’t remember anything such as that coming out in to the public eye to make any one aware of it. The people in this state just figured that individual COULD NOT do any worse than the one who is sitting in the Presidents seat now. If you recall, WV did not put Obama in the seat he sits in now because based on qualifications, Hillary Clinton was better suited for that than Obama. But the rest of the U.S. seemed to think that Obama would do a better job. Well, needless to say, the rest were wrong and WV got it right and were smarter than the other states for we all know Obama has put this nation in worse shape than it has ever been. Shame on our states for not having any stipulations concerning if a person was serving time in jail or federal prisons whether he could file for a position serving citizens of the U.S. Maybe this is where they need to change the rules and qualifications so that this cannot happen again. It is poor judgment on the State of WV to place this man on the ballot without releasing the jail information on him to the people of WV. Even had I known, the box beside Obama would have been left blank. So I think the blame lays on them also. But, maybe this convict would have or could have done a better job than the one who sits there now and he would not take the frequent expensive vacations and go golfing as much. The taxpayers would only be paying to feed one instead of 5 and he wouldn’t throw expensive dinners and entertainment. Could save some money there. Just a thought. It probably doesn’t make Obama feel to hot knowing that a convicted felon serving time in a Federal Correction Institution got 41% of the votes. Obama only got 26% of the vote in WV in the last election. WV is trying to tell the rest of the US that we need to change and we are smart enough to try to do that. Now who do you think WV will support in the General election. Romney when are you coming to WV? I am a registered Democrat who will be voting Republican in Nov. It’s not the party name I vote for; it is the man who will stand up for what he is put in office for, who will cut spending and taxes, and not think that all who do not want to work they should qualify for free handouts or everything bailouts and us the taxpayers foot the bill. I pay my own bills, let them do the same.

Obama was handed the keys to an 8 yr old run down country. GW Jr if you can recall. The one who wanted to find the WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION in Iraq (where are those at again?), the one who started the bailouts with the financial institutions, the one that we paid the highest per gallon of gas than we ever have, the leader of THE BUSH TAX CUTS. You know that Republican guy. Obama is 3 yrs into an 8 yr problem. He did get Osama though. Something GW couldn’t do.

You talk of his support for gay marriage. Well GW the guy who was “said Christian” had 8yrs and control of the House for the first 4 and he didn’t change that. Maybe Romney will though and put polygamy (multiple wives) in its place since he is Mormon and did contribute 4 million in tithes to the mormon church.

Obama is the most criticzed, scrutinized, and publicized pres in history. Don’t forget he is trying to get people to work and he did forge for taxes on the wealthy but the republicans didn’t like that idea.

To JR Smith,
Bravo again to you.
We are dealing with bunch of hypocrites here. The one who had their head stuck in the sand and observed everything with their A** in the air during Bush/Cheney era. The ones who have nothing to do but watch FOX NEWS all the time and their rhetoric . The ones who are racist and blindly blame everything on Obama. The ones who claim pro-life but do not stop at finding ways to create unjustified wars to kill people. Their man took over the country with the highest surplus ever and left it in disaster with the highest deficit. I guess that is what conservative means. Someone once said “Rome took a long time to build but it was destroyed overnight”. Isn’t it the case here? U.S.A. destroyed in 8 years and they expect it fixed in 3? Especially when they are not helping to rebuild it and pull the opposite direction?
It is thundering right now and I bet they are blaming Obama!!

Local politics, Metz got his *ss handed to him. What a web we weave when we practice to deceive,good luck in your endeavors,,,

To make fun of us shows your ignorance not ours.We didnt put him in there to start with. And to talk so bad about us and our county shows coward-us on your part.You can say a lot when you don’t have the guts to sign your name. You’re most likely excited you can get married now.You going to sign your license or remain anonymous. Obama supports you and you support him.We got some closet boys around here to even one or two in office.But we didn’t know the truth about them until they voted in.You people put pheromones off to each other that’s how you no one another.We in Gilmer County just don’t smell your crap .And don’t have to take it. And you might want to remain anonymous. The river may start clogging up.

I am a die heart democrat and very disappointed with the position our democratic executive committee keeps taking. They are never for the best candidates. Instead for those they can control.
Their agenda is the same old crap over and over. If they have not learned by now from the loss of Metz with all his lies and accusation, we need to teach them a lesson. Switch party or in general election vote for republicans or independents. We need to change the system and have a good chance of it in November.  raspberry

By Die heart Democrat  on  05.10.2012

The President of Democratic Executive Committee (S. P.) needs to be stripped of all command decisions and influence and should take full responsibility for allowing Metz to run for election after falsifying the documents needed to by the Secretary of State. Tennant is a complete idiot that should not even be holding office. Her experience as a baby sitter for I** M***IS, I am sure would have gotten her plenty of jobs.

What the democratic executive committee pulled off KNOWINGLY by allowing Metz to run is a criminal matter, and should be handled as a criminal matter. No more excuses, and the fact that Metz was taking the GED test just in the last couple weeks speaks volumes about the guilt factor that includes top Glenville names.

ALL SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE - METZ HAS COVERED UP LAND FRAUD AND OTHER CRIMES as the SHERIFF of GILMER COUNTY and it’s why people call us CROOKED COUNTY.

METZ is the one that is CROOKED!

GSC Students Compete at State Leadership Conference

Twelve Glenville State College business students represented GSC at the FBLA-PBL State Leadership Conference held at the Waterfront Place Hotel in Morgantown, West Virginia (Monongalia County) on March 26 – 27, 2012.

At the conference, members of the GSC chapter of PBL (Phi Beta Lambda) competed in business related competitions, attended workshops, voted for state officers, and networked with business professionals.

PBL is the collegiate partner to FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America), which is a nonprofit education association that prepares students for careers in business and business related fields.

The organization’s mission is to bring business and education together in a positive working relationship through innovative leadership and career development programs.

The GSC chapter of PBL was originally founded in 1979 and was reorganized in February of 2012 after a more than five-year hiatus.

“I am extremely thrilled that within a five week period students organized the chapter as well as prepared for and participated in competitions and workshops. The group represented GSC very well thanks to support from the entire GSC Business Department. I am truly blessed to work with such great faculty and amazing students,“ said GSC Instructor of Accounting Rebecca Swisher, who is the GSC PBL advisor.

Legislative Update – by – Delegate Brent Boggs - House Majority Leader - 05.07.12

Service to and appreciation for Veterans is a vital part of our State record of patriotism and veteran support.  While veteran issues is primarily a function handled on the federal level, the Legislative and Executive branches of state government have consistently worked to enhance and improve the circumstances of active duty and retired military personnel.  Here is a synopsis of military affairs and veterans legislation passed and signed into law in 2012:


Senate Bill 603 authorizes the Adjutant General to establish morale, welfare and recreation facilities throughout the state, which is currently only authorized at Camp Dawson in Preston County. The bill will also authorize the establishment of a board, corporation or other entity to operate the facilities. Funds created from the facilities operations will be used exclusively to benefit the facilities.


Senate Bill 605 limits the liability of landowners who make land available for law enforcement or homeland defense training. The bill expands liability limitations of landowners who grant a lease, easement, or license of land to individuals; and federal, state, county or municipal government, or any agency, when the land is used for military training.  The bill additionally adds the activity of spelunking to exempted recreational purposes.


House Bill 4007 notes that an individual who has voluntarily quit employment to accompany a spouse serving in active military service - who has been reassigned – is qualified for unemployment. The account of the employer may not be charged for those benefits.


House Bill 4037 references professional and occupational licensure for former and current members of the Armed Forces of the United States.  It requires consideration of military education, training and experience as qualifications for professional licensure.  During periods when the licensee, certificate holder or registrant is on active duty as a member of the Armed Forces of the United States, the National Guard, or any other military reserve component and deployed outside of this state – for six months after discharge from active duty – the license, certification or registration of a person shall continue in good standing.  The certification or registration shall be renewed without payment of any dues or fees for the maintenance or renewal of the license, certification or registration without meeting continuing education requirements for the license when circumstances associated with military duty prevent the individual from obtaining the required continuing education.  The member of the Armed Forces is to submit a waiver request to the appropriate board, informing the board of circumstances regarding deployment outside of the United States or in any combat area. Verification that the individual performs the licensed profession as part of his or her military duties as annotated in Defense Department Form 214 (DD214) is to be made.  During periods when the licensee is accompanying his or her spouse who is on active duty as a member of the Armed Forces or National Guard and is deployed outside of the state is provided the same opportunity to receive licensure for six months after active duty. The license, certification or registration of that person regulated by a board is to continue in good standing and renewed without payment of any dues or fees for the maintenance or renewal of the license, without meeting continuing education requirements when circumstances associated with accompanying a spouse on military duty prevent the individual from obtaining the required continuing education. The accompanying spouse submits a waiver.


House Bill 4330 provides that driver’s licenses may contain information designating the licensee as a person who is an honorably discharged veteran of any branch of the Armed Forces of the United States.  It also provides veterans may renew licenses without cost if not expired; and redefines ‘previously licensed’ as an applicant who has held at least a level two or similar driver’s licensing level or class.


House Bill 4433 provides high school diplomas to veterans of World War II, the Korean War, or the Vietnam Conflict, regardless of whether they were attending high school before entering the military.  Prior law required veterans to be attending high school before entering the military.


House Bill 4493 directs the State Department of Education to implement a program involving students that recognizes the contributions made by West Virginians in the United States military.


The bill does the following:

• Establishes the observation of a week in which December 07 falls as a special memorial week as Pearl Harbor and Military Appreciation Week.

• Declares March 30 as a special memorial day to be known as Vietnam Veteran Recognition Day.

• Declares August 07 as a special memorial day to be known as Purple Heart Recognition Day.

• Declares July 27 as a special memorial day to be known as Korean War Veteran Recognition Day

Eighth Grade Students Receive the Golden Horseshoe Award 2012

image

More than 200 eighth grade students from across West Virginia on Thursday received the prestigious Golden Horseshoe award for outstanding knowledge of West Virginia history and culture.

State Superintendent Jorea Marple inducted the students from all 55 counties as Knights of the Golden Horseshoe Society during a pinning ceremony at the Cultural Center.

The award is considered one of the greatest honors bestowed upon students in West Virginia.

The Golden Horseshoe honors and rewards students for their appreciation and understanding of West Virginia and her people,” Marple said. “The Golden Horseshoe is coveted by many in the state, but received by very few. Those who receive it are among a select group,” Marple said. “It is an honor that these students can be proud of for years to come.”

image


The Golden Horseshoe test has been administered in West Virginia each year since 1931 and is the longest running program of its kind in the United States.

The top-scoring students in each county receive the prestigious award.

Each county has at least two winners.

The exam tests student knowledge on West Virginia citizenship, civics and government, economics, geography, history and current events.

Past recipients have included authors and state Supreme Court justices, a state attorney general and a state Board of Education president.

The Golden Horseshoe originated in the early 1700s in Virginia when then-Governor Alexander Spotswood saw the need for exploration of the land west of the Allegheny Mountains, most of which is now West Virginia.

Spotswood organized a party of about 50 men to explore the frontier.

At the end of the exploration, he presented each member of the party with a golden horseshoe.

Translated from Latin, the inscription on each horseshoe read, “Thus it was decided to cross the mountains.”  On the other side was written, “Order of the Golden Horseshoe.” Because of this, the recipients became known as ‘The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.’”

Flatwoods: Training Workshop for Law Enforcement Officers Focusing on Warning Signals

image

Fifty law enforcement officers from across West Virginia will gather in Flatwoods in Braxton County on Friday, May 04, 2012 to learn more about recognizing the signs of animal abuse.

Members of the West Virginia Chapter of the Humane Society of the United States are staging the workshop to help law enforcement officers when it comes to animal abuse or neglect cases.

“West Virginia does not require our animal control officers be trained in this specific manner,“ said Summer Wyatt with the organization.  “It helps them to be more confident in approaching a situation and knowing what is cruelty, what is torture, and what is a bogus call.“

Wyatt says there is a specific curriculum her national organization has developed to cover a wide range of possible situations an officer might face.

The subject matter deals with everything from large animal abuse to animal fighting and how to recognize signs of those activities.

“Just recognizing what an animal is truly supposed to look like, what bare essentials an animal should have, things like that,“ she said.

Wyatt says she often hears from law enforcement officers who say they have spotted specific things, but do not understand exactly what they are seeing at the time.

“They go to a property on a warrant or to talk to somebody about some other case that’s not even involved and they see these little things and they’re curious,“ she said.

Wyatt says dog fighting and cock fighting are particular issues with her organization.

Currently, dog fighting is a felony in all 50 states, but West Virginia and seven other states still only list cock fighting as a misdemeanor.

She says it is often difficult to track down those activities because they are so clandestine.

She is hoping, by offering the training course and letting officers know what to look for, they will be able to recognize and expose more cases of animal fighting and animal cruelty.

She feels strongly there is a lot more of the activity happening in West Virginia than we know.

The workshop was limited to 50 participants from any law enforcement agency and is already full because of space limitations.

However, Wyatt says they are willing to go to any part of the state and teach other seminars if there is interest among law enforcement agencies.

College Features Hands-On Training

image

Pierpont Community & Technical College serves 13 counties in North Central West Virginia, including Barbour, Braxton, Calhoun, Doddridge, Gilmer, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, Randolph, Taylor and Upshur counties.

“Pierpont specializes in preparing students in two years or less for practical hands-on careers,“ said Pierpont President Doreen Larson. “Students can benefit from a wide variety of training at Pierpont. One size does not fit all, and not everybody needs the same amount of training to reach their individual goal.“

Skill sets are groupings of classes that help students develop specific professional competencies, such as computer aided design or phlebotomy.

One-year certificate programs lead to professional certification in specific areas, such as American Sign Language communication or emergency medical services.

Associate degrees are two-year programs that generally prepare students for direct entry into the work force and in most cases can be a ladder into four-year programs or graduate studies.

Pierpont also offers non-credit training designed to meet specific work force needs, ranging from “Red Hat” miner training to federal acquisition management.

More information about Pierpont Community & Technical College is available online at www.pierpont.edu.

“I commend the Burnsville Lions Club for the active role they play in their community,” Boggs stated.  The Lions Club recently cleaned up around the Burnsville Community Building and planted flowers in the flower beds around the building.  They also assisted in the Burnsville Christmas parade, purchasing, packaging and distributing candy to area children after the parade.  “Lions Clubs throughout the 34th District, the state and the world do much to help in their communities,” Boggs remarked.  “I commend the Burnsville Lions Club members and all Lions on their efforts to make their communities a better place to live, work and play- their volunteer efforts are certainly noticed and appreciated.”
