Obituaries

OBIT POLICY – It is the policy of The Wayne County News to run obituaries FREE. However there are a few guidelines. All obituaries must come from a funeral home and be the ‘official’ obituary. We do not take submissions directly from the families. This is to avoid any conflict between factions of families. If you would like to run an obituary from out of state please contact the funeral home that handled the arrangements and have them send it to us via email to editor@waynecountynews.com.

the economy and protect educa-tion, but the Legislature isn’t interested.

West Virginia has good peo-ple, a central geographical loca-tion, a moderate climate, beauti-ful scenery and natural resourc-es. But, we are shortchanging the state on education and educated young people. CNBC indicated that the U.S. Census Bureau reports “fewer than 12 percent of West Virginians over the age of 25 have a bachelor’s

degree.” Others say that figure is closer to 18 percent. Either way, that’s an economic death sentence.

West Virginia wasn’t prob-lem-free in the 1970s, but those issues weren’t enough to keep us from moving here to be part of Marshall’s new medical school. Today, our state’s prob-lems and failures are publicized

regularly. We can’t return to the idea that coal will save the state indefinitely. We need to deal with our health, education, fiscal and work ethic issues so that West Virginia can reach its potential. But to do this, we need more young and educat-ed people moving here. So the question is, can West Virginia still attract young families?

when Obama approved a $1.7 billion settlement resolving claims over a failed arms deal. The first installment was in cash, secretly delivered by plane, the same day Iran released four American prisoners and formal-ly implemented Obama’s nucle-ar deal with the Iranians, per The Washington Times.

Negotiating from a position of appeasement is a poor strate-gy. And then there was Donald J. Trump. As a master negotiator, Trump knows something about leadership and the importance of defining and adhering to con-sequences. While the president has made clear he’d rather con-duct business peacefully, he’ll not withdraw on a pledge he’s made on behalf of protecting our nation - period.

Given our nation’s position, this is the only way to proceed.

North Korea would be wise to negotiate with our command-er-in-chief.

YOUR FINAL RESTING PLACEWhen choosing a cemetery, bear in mind that it will not only be yourfinal resting place, but it will also be the locale where family and friendscome to visit and remember. With this in mind, it is important to decidewhether the place you choose will be close to your home and familyor in a place that has sentimental meaning for you. Deciding on thetype of burial you want can help narrow down the choices. While manycemeteries offer both traditional and “green,” eco-friendly burials, somemay only offer one or the other. If cremation is preferred, it may be bestto consider a small mausoleum that can serve future generations as well.
