Two Million Cans, A Bug Museum, Boy Scouts and Suicide

At the Leadership Table with Retired Major General Jim Hoyer this week is the first woman chair of the Mountaineer Area Boy Scouts of America, Amy Garbrick. Amy has also served in important roles in higher education for nearly 20 years. Amy and the General discuss her leadership insights along with the roles scouting holds in building our communities and shared future in the Mountain State.

We will learn about the Department of Agriculture’s Bug Museum it is unlike any other museum.

Earlier this month Constellium who has large operation in Millwood West Virginia and Fairplain elementary near Ripley West Virginia announced they are participating in an effort to collect 2 million aluminum cans for recycling.

Normally this is a politics free zone, however in West Virginia there is a constitutional amendment on the General Election Ballot that would constitutionally ban physician assisted suicide in West Virginia. Aside from all the ethical questions that go along with such a measure, under the current state code, physician assisted suicide is illegal. There is also a fine line between physician assisted suicide and end of life directives such as living wills. To get a clear understanding of the measure, we turned to State Senator Ryan Weld who is the current Vice Chair of West Virginia State Senate Judiciary Committee, he represents the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia.
