dqmcodebase = "http://www.wvdemocrats.com/script/" Health and Human Resources Health Care : The West Virginia Democratic Party believes every West Virginian should have universal coverage for quality affordable health care not as a privilege, but as a right. The Republicans have taken every opportunity to slash Medicaid turning their backs on those individuals who are least capable of helping themselves. Democrats are fighting to maintain services to all West Virginians in need. We are committed to helping those who cannot help themselves. Republican proposals under Newt Gingrich-Bob Dole leadership are catastrophic for the poor, the frail, our children, the elderly and the disabled. Democratic leadership in West Virginia is essential to protect those in greatest need from this same kind of disregard.

Jacobson Bypass surgery. Angioplasty. Drugs. There's got to be a better way to prevent and treat heart disease, diabetes, and other diet-related illnesses. As a society, we do little to encourage people to stay healthy by eating a good diet and exercising. The typical effortineffective lessons in schools, occasional public-service messages on television, and random newspaper articles or TV showspales in comparison to the billions of dollars that makers of junk food, alcohol, and tobacco spend every year to push lifestyles that cause disease. And our mechanized, TV-saturated, information-age culture keeps people in the recliner, desk chair, or car while their muscles and metabolism crumble. But we needn't throw in the towel. Education can have a real impact, as at least three programs have demonstrated.

The Lincoln County Cooperative Extension Service is a program of West Virginia University (WVU) and the United States Department of Agriculture . It also is funded locally by the Lincoln County Commission, the Lincoln County Board of Education and is supported by other local private and public funding agencies and individuals. The purpose of the Cooperative Extension Service is to bring education from the college halls to the practical world where we live. Although the 4-H and other youth programs are the most visible of the Extension Service's programs, they are not the only services provided. The Lincoln County Extension Service is. . . helping you put knowledge to work! Although the Extension Service is grounded in a rural society of days gone by, it has not lingered in an agricultural based society and watched as the world passed by. The Extension Service has changed with the times in order to make the many programs that it offers attractive to all types of populations, whether inter-city, urban, suburban, rural or in between. In Lincoln County, since it is a more rural area than some others, the focus still is on serving the rural needs of the region. As Lincoln County grows, the Extension Service is already prepared to grow with it by leaning on the storehouse of services that it already provides to urban areas. Lincoln County is a changing society, and the Extension Service is an agent of change. WVU COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE Ric MacDowell Extension Agent AGRICULTURE AND OTHER PROGRAMS

For Grandparents and Special Others Raising Children West Virginia Grandparents and Other Relatives Raising Children A State Fact Sheet August 2002 Across the country, more than six million children approximately 1 in 12 children are living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. West Virginia has more than 113,000 children living in households headed by grandparents or other relatives. In many of these households, grandparents and other relatives are the primary caregivers (“kinship caregivers”) for children whose parents cannot or will not care for them due to substance abuse, illness and death, abuse and neglect, economic hardship, incarceration, divorce, domestic violence, and other family and community crises. In response to the growing numbers of these kinship care families, state legislatures, public and private agencies, and grassroots coalitions in West Virginia and across the country have begun to expand services and supports for children living with kin inside and outside of the foster care system. A Look at the Numbers: Kinship Care in West Virginia The data below show the numbers of grandparents who are living in households with at least one grandchild under the age of 18, as well as the numbers of grandparents who are the primary caregivers for these grandchildren. These numbers were reported by the 2000 U.S. Census and are available for every place (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) in the country, including cities, towns, villages, and boroughs, on the U.S. Census website.

Kids and Nutrition Proper nutrition is an important building block for a child's ability to learn and for overall health status. School food service programs play a major role in determining the nutrition that many children receive in a given day, particularly among those who are low-income and thus qualify for free or reduced-price breakfasts and lunches. Effective nutrition policies and education programs promote and reinforce healthy eating habits, create supportive environments, and teach youth the importance of eating right. Schools face numerous challenges in assuring that students eat healthy meals during the school day. Many school food service programs follow federal nutritional guidelines, which they must meet if they participate in federal school meal programs (i.e., the National School Lunch and Breakfast Programs). However, efforts to provide nutritious foods in schools often compete with the wide availability of junk food, the strong impact of advertising on youth's food choices, and shrinking school budgets that spawn vending machine contracts and other private fund-raising through the sale of candy and snack foods to fund athletic and extra-curricular activities. Ways schools/communities can help promote healthy eating habits for children: Improve nutritional content of school lunches.
