West Virginians for Better Transportation and 23 other groups from across the state gathered January 12 at the state Capitol to meet with local legislators and to help educate lawmakers about the challenges facing transportation.

Among the 24 groups participating was Builder Supply Association who took part in “2012 Transportation Day at the West Virginia Capitol.” This gathering was held on the second day of the 60-day legislative session, and a special joint session of the House and Senate Transportation Committees was held that afternoon. Speakers were presenting WVBT, business, labor and the W.Va. DOT provide presentations during the joint committee meeting about the state’s transportation system and its importance to jobs, economic development and commerce.

Program Guidelines: “How does the program work?”

Step 1 – Your company shall establish a safety coordinator to oversee the program and maintain company records (no member company records shall be maintained by the BSA). Along with the coordinator, team leaders shall be established to conduct the weekly safety meetings (this person may be a member of management or a lead/mentor employee who sets the standards for others to follow).

Step 2 – Each week, (Wednesday), via email the safety coordinator as well as the team leaders shall receive from the BSA office all information and topics necessary to conduct the weekly meeting (additional copies for each attendee shall be made at member site). The team leaders shall then have one week from the date received to log their meeting completion notice with the respective company coordinator. This one week period allows time to schedule around peak production times.

A few years ago we had the opportunity to attend this presentation and was enlightened to several problems within my family assurance plan.  This “no cost” seminar will be presented in Charleston on October 17th and Morgantown on October 18th,  this seminar is open to all members of your firm(so pass the word) – you must register however by October 10th! by calling Federated at (804)346-4678, I hope this simple registration process will entice you to take the next step to insure your loved ones future.

Through our careers we meet people who are known for contributions only to our industry, people who are known for contributions to us as a friend or people who make contributions as a community leader. On April 18th we lost a friend who has made contributions to our industry, state, and several other areas along the way (which are too many to name). Of all his contributions he is known and remembered for, most of us will cherish the one of friend.

Don Stemple was a concrete producer, statesman, farmer and a mentor to many of us who were honored to collect his views on state government. He is recognized as a past president of our association, a group he was proud to faithfully serve. Don served several years in the West Virginia House of Delegates and later became Alcohol and Beverage Control Commission Director for the State of West Virginia under Governor Cecil Underwood.
Above all, Don shall be remembered as a gentleman and a loyal friend.
