Home Rule in the Mountain State
2007-12-21 13:37:00 Huntington's city council plans to vote Friday whether to move forward under a "home rule" pilot project that would allow it greater tax-levying and other powers.The Herald-Dispatch has the details. Among its components, the home rule plan would "overhaul the city's tax structure by implementing a sales tax and/or occupation tax and repealing the $2-a-week user fee and reducing the business and occupation tax," the newspaper reports.Wheeling, meanwhile, submitted its plan to take part in the five-year pilot program earlier this week, The Intelligencer reports. Public Broadcasting examines that city's proposal as well (with audio).Up to five municipalities can participate. Bridgeport has also approved a plan, Weirton's was defeated by its city council and Fairmont's foundered over constitutional concerns, the Herald-Dispatch reports.
Battling Tobacco in the Mountain State
2007-12-20 14:34:00 While it labors with one of the highest percentage of smokers and "dippers" in the country, West Virginia reports inroads in reducing tobacco use, The Associated Press' Tom Breen reports."State data shows a decline in the adult smoking rate for four consecutive years, the first time such a drop has been recorded," Breen found. "The drop in underage smoking has been more dramatic. From 2000 to 2005, the smoking rate among high school students dropped from 38.5 percent to 27.8 percent."This "despite a roughly $21 million gap between what the state spends on prevention and what the federal government recommends," Breen reports."Roughly 4,000 West Virginians die every year from tobacco-related causes, while direct health costs stemming from tobacco annually cost the state roughly $1 billion, according to figures from the state Department of Health and Human Resources," the AP article said.

Moving the Mountains
2007-11-19 10:30:00 Porters are the backbone of most climbing expeditions, trekking and adventurous exploration into the mountains all over the world. The agile, tireless, hardworking people, primarily from local communities, ferry massive loads of gear on their backs. Like the more familiar Sherpa people of the Himalaya, the Pakistani porters are respected among fraternity of mountain lovers as some of the best porters in the world. They are dedicated and know where the crevasses and icefalls are, how to acclimatize, how much food and fuel to haul up the hill, when to push on, when to rest. They are unsung heroes of high-altitude mountaineering. Without their labour, many a base camps would never have been established; many a summit would never have been conquered.I had lived some of my life in the base camps of majestic mountains in Northern Pakistan; with mountaineers, explorers and adventurers from all over the world and porters from Pakistan. During my to-ing and fro-ing in mountain areas, I have ...

Conquering the Mountain...
2007-11-09 15:16:00 There have been many great people who have challenged themselves and conquered "The Mountain"...Sir Edmund Hillary conquered Mt Everest, Dr Michel-Gabriel Paccard conquered Mt. Blanc and Hermann Buhl conquered Nanga Parbat.Today, I will become among those brave enough to face my challenge head on. I will not be outside...or even at high altitudes...the mountain I have in my sights is none other than the famous "Mt. Washmore". Until about a year ago, I was fairly sure this household headache was at my home exclusively. That was until I became an official "flybaby" following our ever fearless Flylady. It became clearer and clearer to me that this "mountain" lives in many homes - especially in those with children in residence.My nemesis did not form through the movement of tectonic plates or volcanic eruption. Mine formed slowly...starting as a small bundle - not quite enough for a full load - "why waste water?" I'd think & vow to add more to this small bundle to make a full load tomo...

10/25/07 - Life Journal - From the Valley to the Mountain
2007-10-30 14:02:00 But on the night immediately following the Lord stood at his side and said, "Take courage, for as you have solemnly witnessed to my cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also."Acts 23:11In Acts 21:13, Paul's reply to the disciples of Tyre that were warning him not to go to Jerusalem was, "I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord." Just as Jusus knew of His fate in returning to Jerusalem, so now did Paul but he too was being led there and wouldn't trade his own safety for following God's plan. He received the reason in the verse above (23:11) straight from the living Savior. God used these trials to move Paul along to Rome to witness there.It's easy for me to pray to avoid any obstacles, pain or sorrow that's in my future but if answered God might be short-circuiting His own plan. He sees from beginning to end all at once, He won't let our nearsightedness ruin the opportunities we'll have to reach who must be reached and ...

Living in the mountain allow you to enjoy the seasons at Seven Springs
2007-10-23 04:19:00 ® Enjoying the Life and Changing Seasons at Seven Springs As many of my friends and relative venture south for the winter, I choose to remain in the Laurel Mountains. I once considered moving to Florida, but I realized the changing of the seasons was a part of my life. I particularly enjoy the approaching season where the sun is bright yet low in the sky. The air is crisp. And the Autumn hues almost take your breath away. The colors paint the mountain side as to reflect a scene from a Disney animation. This also is the time of year to travel from town to town, festival to festival, and stopping for the autumn harvest from one of the many roadside farm stands. While traveling it is almost impossible to not take in some of the local history. A stop at the site of Flight 93's crash somehow makes the mountain more appreciable. Yet as spectacular as the fall season is, I can hardly wait for the snow to fly. My passion is skiing. That's why ...

Snow in the mountains already!
2007-10-08 19:41:00 After an early winter scare, it seems that we are returning to autumn again. Look up at the mountains though, and you will see that winter has come a bit early. I do love winter, but I maintain that we still need a little fall since Halloween hasn't even come yet. That said, I'm really going to enjoy every moment of these nice sunny fall days since we never know when they'll suddenly be taken and replaced by cold.

Mind On The Mountaintop
2007-09-21 03:11:00 ?' ????? ???"?Driving in my car this morning in the flat midwest, an unusual sight in the sky caught my attention. The clouds, sky and hidden sun all came together in such a manner that they starkly formed what appeared to be a mountaintop with a brilliant light resting on its peak. It wasn't a wispy or fleeting sight. The edges of the "lit mountaintop" were crisply crafted, radiantly clear and remained "formed" for several minutes, beckoning as if mindfully reaching for my attention. It was conscious of me. I was conscious of it.

The Mountains
2007-09-10 00:48:00 So if you don't already know this, the reason for my absence the past few days is because I was helping my dad take pictures in the Smoky Mountains: The scenery was great, but not much interesting happened the whole job, we waited for the sun to come out from behind clouds and took great pictures when it did. Oh yeah my dad did get to fly around in a helicopter over a lake taking some pictures, but I was not able to go :( One single door from the helicopter costs around $10,000 to replace! He also had to take some pictures from the largest A-frame ladder I have ever seen, the people all at the bottom are there just to hold it steady. For some reason I always seem to come home with pictures of bugs, the latest:Overall. it was a good short trip to the mountains even though we did have to work.
