SPECIAL COMMITTEE ON AGING. Dogbone, W. Va. The special committee met at 10:30 a.m., pursuant to call, in the community center of Dogbone, Senator Jennings Randolph presiding. Present, Senator Randolph. Also present, Representative Ken Hechler. Stalff members present, Phill_' uaep legislative assistant to Senator Randolph; Dolores Cutler, professional staff member; and Peggy Fecik, clerk. OPENING STATEMENT BY SENATOR. JENNINGS RANDOLPH, PRESIDING Senator RANDOLPH. In the U.S. Senate and in the U.S. House of Representatives the sessions, whether they-are at 9 o'clock or 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock in the morning or at noon, open with prayers by our chaplains. Oftentimes there are visiting ministers, the chaplains, Dr. Elson or Dr. Latch, asking those who come from the States to Wash- ington from time to time to open our sessions for legislative business with prayer. I had the opportunity, Ken, of asking a young man who is 21 and a student at West Virginia Wesleyan to give the prayer in the Senate a few, weeks ago. In talking with me he said that he is the pastor for five rural churches in central West Virginia of the United Methodist faith and one.church-I will place all of this in the record-the young- est member of his congregation is 92 years of age. So that person is a senior citizen or an elderly worshiper or whatever you want to call him. When this young man went for the first time in his Volkswagen into this rural section to conduct the services there was a heavy snowstorm and he was 35 or 40 minutes late in arriving. As -he was removing his coat and shaking the snow from his shoulders toopen the service, one of these ladies in her 90's said. "Preacher, start the mceting: I'm living on borrowed time." [Laughter.] . Well now. I wvant vou. to know -that this mormnhin we are, all here together living and there is no borrowed time: there is time-an in- teresting time, a challenging time. I want. vouto believe as we begin the hearing todav that this is not just another day, thi- ,4tnw clay:. (691 ) 692 I am pleased to see the younger people here today with those of us who are older. I have mentioned the sessions, Ken, that begin with prayer, and inso- far as I know we will do something that has never been done before in the United States and that is to have a committee hearing open with prayer. I know of no subcommittee or no hearing by committee in the Senate that has ever had a prayer to open that hearing. I mentioned the Methodist minister, so it is OK to have our prayer this morning by a Baptist minister. Rev. D. C. Bowman, are you here? Reverend BOWMAN. Yes, I am. Senator RANDOLPH. If you will just stand, Reverend Bowman. I think you have been a minister for 39 years. Reverend BOWMAN. That is right. Senator RANDOLPH. You are 65 years of age? Reverend BOWMAN. Yes. Senator RANDOLPH. So you can qualify as an elderly minister. Reverend BOWMAN. Right. Senator RANDOLPH. Would you just give us these words that you would want to. Reverend BOWMAN. Almighty God, our loving heavenly Father, as we have come to this place for the very purpose, realizing that Thou hast made men upright in heart and stature, our divine Father, we pray Thee now to bless this congregation that is gathered from many places in the State of West Virginia. Almighty God, our heavenly Father, may what is done be done in the spirit of love, in the spirit of grace and the power of Almighty God. Our heavenly Father, help these men, oh God, to bring about a great unity that our faith, our Father, may be mutual and our hopes and our faith anchored in the Lord Jesus Christ. Father, help us to maintain and keep this great heritage that our forefathers thought to give us, our Father, that we would hold up the great flag that men of the world may see it and realize that Thou, our Father, was in it Ejid Thou gave us His inheritance. May we be strong in faith and love to Thee and each other, our Father, and remain united against the force of evil and that the Gospel be preached and salva- tion brought to our lost world. Bless this gathering, our Father, in Jesus' name and help us to keep, our Father, this heritage that we have got today. May we be thankful in heart that we have met today for this great purpose. We ask these blessings in Jesus' name and for His precious sake. Amen. Senator RANDOLPH. Amen. I am very glad that Representative Hechler has joined us this morning as a participant and a leader in our hearing here at Dogbone, in Lincoln County, W. Va. We have in the Senate of the United States a special committee on aging and I have come to conduct an official hearing of that commit- tee here in this section of our State. We are thinking particularly of the problems of the elderly, of our older Americans in rural areas. There are many problems, and we will discuss them and we will be helped by those who are members of our panel here today. 693 We are going to stress transportation needs, and I think I can under- stand those better now from coming up the road. I certainly had a taste of the need for road improvement as we came to this community building. We are going to talk, I know, about the hindrance, the creation of barriers to the travel of older persons who should not be moored to just one location but they as young people, need and want to often move about. This is good for them, good for all of us to be able to ex- change our thoughts by visiting with others.

  • Political History of Nevada: Chapter 1
    Political History of Nevada Chapter 1 Politics in Nevada, Circa 2016 37 CHAPTER 1: POLITICS IN NEVADA, CIRCA 2016 Nevada: A Brief Historiography By EMERSON MARCUS in Nevada Politics State Historian, Nevada National Guard Th e Political History of Nevada is the quintessential reference book of Nevada elections and past public servants of this State. Journalists, authors, politicians, and historians have used this offi cial reference for a variety of questions. In 1910, the Nevada Secretary of State’s Offi ce fi rst compiled the data. Th e Offi ce updated the data 30 years later in 1940 “to meet a very defi nite and increasing interest in the political history of Nevada,” and has periodically updated it since. Th is is the fi rst edition following the Silver State’s sesquicentennial, and the State’s yearlong celebration of 150 years of Statehood in 2014. But this brief article will look to examine something other than political data. It’s more about the body of historical work concerning the subject of Nevada’s political history—a brief historiography. A short list of its contributors includes Dan De Quille and Mark Twain; Sam Davis and James Scrugham; Jeanne Wier and Anne Martin; Richard Lillard and Gilman Ostrander; Mary Ellen Glass and Effi e Mona Mack; Russell Elliott and James Hulse; William Rowley and Michael Green. Th eir works standout as essential secondary sources of Nevada history. For instance, Twain’s Roughing It (1872), De Quille’s Big Bonanza (1876) and Eliot Lord’s Comstock Mining & Mines (1883) off er an in-depth and anecdote-rich— whether fact or fi ction—glance into early Nevada and its mining camp way of life.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

  • Commencement
    mmunity liege "Making Higher Education A Part of Your Future" Annual Commencement Sunday, May the Twenty-first Two Thousand and Six Two o'clock in the Afternoon Charleston Civic Center Charleston, West Virginia What is West Virginia State College What is West Virginia State College? It is all of us who believe in it - who absent or present, work in it and wish it well. Its constituency is the living and dead, and from them the college enjoys an unrestrained loyalty and willing service. It is an exponent of trust which sweeps aside the petty jealousies of men and all propagandic proposals which would minimize or depreciate personality. It is an institution containing faults and defects which challenge the constructive efforts of students, teachers, officers, and graduates. It is incomplete and desires to remain so, to be in an advantageous position for changing life situations. What is West Virginia State College? It is spirit; it cannot be touched by hand; it is based upon communions between the living and those who though dead yet live in an immortality made practical through enlistment in the college program, which of necessity requires eternity for completion. What is the college? You and those graduates ahead of you are the college. John W. Davis Fifth President, WVSC-1932 Historical Sketch of West Virginia State University The second Morrill Act of 1890 was intended to make training in agriculture and mechanical arts available to black citizens. Like other states that maintained segregated educational systems, West Virginia responded on March 17, 1891 by enacting legislation to create a special land-grant institution for blacks.

IV, NO. 3 JUNE, 1972 PRESIDENT'S COMMENTS On Saturday, April 22, Tony Dorrell and some of his staff invited some WVHC people to Elkins to scuss ways of preserving wilderness/wild areas in West Virginia. Wilderness Chairman Ron Hardway, Rodman, Bruce Sundquist, Helen McGinnis and I attended. Under President Nixon's charge and administrative directives, the Forest Service and other agencies have been directed to identify those in the country in need of preservation. Congress and other agencies have been notably adept at foot ging in this regard, particularly in the East. The Forest Service and Congressional committees have ly resisted all constructive attempts at establishing such areas in West Virginia. According to Tony, there has been during the last year a definite change of pol icy on the port of Forest Service Administration regarding such areas and tho Service is in the process of seeking input citizens regarding tho best way such lands might be preserved. The Forest Service apparently views Wilderness Act with some limitations. Obviously, the mineral rights hooker is the biggest single weak­ of the Act and one that causes us much grief in West Virginia. The Forest Service is trying to find out F the public would be interested in amending the Wilderness Act, setting up additional criteria from those in effect towards preserving such areas, and otherwise looking for supplementary ways in which some ....~.,.c. re of protection might be afforded. Much dialog took place between our two groups.
