Live: President Trump hosts 'MAGA' Rally in Charleston, WV to support Republican Patrick Morrisey
Mr. Trump's trip to West Virginia is his latest campaign appearance in the midterm elections.
Morrisey is running against Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, who is considered to be one of the most vulnerable incumbents in the Senate. West Virginia voted for Mr. Trump by 40 percentage points in 2016. Nonetheless, a recent poll showed Manchin leading Morrisey by nine percentage points.
Mr. Trump tweeted his support of Morrisey Tuesday morning. Big Rally tonight in West Virginia. Patrick Morrisey is running a GREAT race for U.S. Senate. I have done so much for West Virginia, against all odds, and having Patrick, a real fighter, by my side, would make things so much easier. See you later. CLEAN COAL!!!! Mr. Trump tweeted.

Rocking the Kanawha
On Thursday, May 19, 2016, musician and historian Terry Lowry presented “Rocking the Kanawha: The Golden Age of Music in the Kanawha Valley” in the Archives and History Library of the Culture Center in Charleston.
Long before Mountain Stage, the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame, the Clay Center, or many of the other musical outlets of present-day Charleston and the Kanawha Valley, there was an approximately ten-year period from 1964 to 1974 that has become known as the “Golden Age” of Charleston and the Kanawha Valley music. During that period the area flourished with outstanding local musicians, a wide array of clubs and venues, and a fan base that has never been equaled since. It was these musicians and the environment in which they performed that made them pioneers in opening many doors to future local musicians and paving the way for such stellar projects as Mountain Stage.
Beginning in 1964 with soul bands, such as the original Esquires (with singer Bobby Lanham), the King Sound Interpreters (with Curtis Price), The Barons, The Seven Seas, The Rooks, recording artist Turley Richards, and others, and continuing through the hippie-era bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as Heavy Rain (and their legendary guitarist Randall Wray), Quiet (with Tom Benson), The Bristols, The Mojos, and national recording artists The Mind Garage, the area seethed with musical creativity and diversity. Clubs were continually packed, outdoor festivals (such as the classic ones at Kanawha State Forest and Ona) drew thousands of fans, musical creativity was at an all-time high, and numerous national recording acts played Charleston, including Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin.
Terry Lowry is a 50-year veteran guitarist of the Charleston music scene and has performed or jammed with nearly every musician of the “Golden Age” as well as many since. He founded and edited Charleston’s first rock music “fanzine” called “The Kanawha Rocker,” was music critic for the Charleston Gazette from the late 1960s to 1979, and met and interviewed name artists from Hendrix to Canned Heat to Lou Gramm of Foreigner. Lowry has attended over 1,000 concerts and currently performs with Charleston’s Diablo Blues Band. Today, many people know him better as the author of numerous books on the Civil War in West Virginia.

From Wikipedia:
Corridor H of the Appalachian Development Highway System, also known as U.S. Route 48 (US 48), will run 148 miles (238 km) from northern Virginia to central West Virginia. It is being constructed from Interstate 79 (I-79) in Weston eastward across the crest of the Allegheny Mountains to I-81 in Strasburg, Virginia. While most of the highway has been constructed, only the portion east of Bismarck, West Virginia is signed as US 48 due to major segments of highway either under construction or under planning.
West Virginia's segment of Corridor H crosses very mountainous terrain, some of the most rugged in the eastern United States and crosses two major rivers. There are more than 1000 historic structures, five historic districts, two Civil War battlefields and other archaeological sites within five miles (8 km) of Corridor H, and the highway will cross through two national forests. There are over 50 species of plants and animals that are protected under the Endangered Species Act and more than 150 native trout streams, thousands of acres of wetlands and high mountain bogs, areas of karst terrain, abandoned coal mines and numerous recreational facilities within the Corridor H study area.

WVU Alumni Spotlight | Base Camp Printing Co.
“I think what’s cool is that it’s something new and modern; it’s art that you’d be proud to put on your walls, but it’s made with hundreds of years-old type and presses.”
Emily Sokolosky, the founder of Base Camp Printing Company, measures sheets of business cards before sliding them into her clamshell printing press – a contraption that looks more like a complicated medieval device than a way to create art. Her sister and co-owner of Base Camp stands behind her, trying to get the color just right for a new poster they’ll be printing later that day.
The Sokolosky sisters grew up in Charleston, West Virginia, where their shop is located today. After graduating from West Virginia University, Betsy spent some time as an Americorps VISTA while Emily finished her degree at WVU and decided to launch Base Camp Printing Co. It wasn’t long before the company saw success and Emily called upon her sister for help. “I asked Betsy to come in the shop and help me out, and then Christmas came around and it got crazy,” said Emily, “So I just asked her if she wanted to do this full time…I don’t even know if I asked her. it just kind of happened.” Now, the sisters say they balance each other out and work together on each of the new projects that come through the door.
“We really try to be true to the process that was used back in day when printing presses were state of the art technology,” says Betsy. “You’re really holding a piece of history.” Emily adds, “I love letterpress because of the little inconsistencies, you can really tell that a lot of heart went into each and every print.”
Perhaps best known for their Mountain Stage collection throughout West Virginia, the Sokolosky sisters do their best to celebrate the Mountain State in everything they do. From their West Virginia Living Insignia series to their Wild and Wonderful post cards – West Virginia is ever present and celebrated in their work.
When asked about her West Virginia roots, Emily said, “Being from West Virginia and going to WVU games growing up is such a huge part of me…I feel so proud to be able to stay in West Virginia and to create art about West Virginia and bring a positive light to a place that doesn’t get that a lot. It means everything to me to be able to represent my state and my school.”

Harold Franklin Hawkins (December 22, 1921 – March 5, 1963), better known as Hawkshaw Hawkins, was an
American country music singer popular from the 1950s into the early 60s known for his rich, smooth vocals
and music drawn from blues, boogie and honky tonk. At 6 ft 5 inches tall, he had an imposing stage
presence, and he dressed more conservatively than some other male country singers. Hawkins died in the 1963
plane crash that also killed country stars Patsy Cline and Cowboy Copas. He was a member of the Grand Ole
Opry and was married to country star Jean Shepard.
Biography
Harold Hawkins was born on December 22, 1921 in Huntington, West Virginia. He gained his nickname as a boy
after helping a neighbor track down two missing fishing rods: the neighbor called him Hawkshaw after the
title character in the comic strip, Hawkshaw the Detective. He traded five trapped rabbits for his first
guitar, and performed on WCMI-AM in Ashland, Kentucky. At 16, he won a talent competition and a job on
WSAZ-AM in Huntington, where he formed Hawkshaw and Sherlock with Clarence Jack. They moved to WCHS-AM in
Charleston, West Virginia in the late 1930s. In 1940, at 19, he married Reva Mason Barbour, a 16-year-old
from Huntington.
During 1941, Hawkins traveled the United States with a musical revue. He entered the US Army in 1943 during
World War II, and served as an engineer stationed near Paris, Texas where he and friends performed at local
clubs. As a staff sergeant, he was stationed in France and fought in the Battle of the Bulge, winning four
battle stars during 15 months of combat. He was also stationed in Manila and performed there on the radio.
Postwar success
After he was discharged, Hawkins became a regular on WWVA Jamboree from 1945 to 1954 in Wheeling, West
Virginia. In 1948, he signed a recording contract with King Records in Cincinnati, Ohio. His first two
recordings with King, Pan American and Dog House Boogie, were top ten country hits. A minor hit, and
the song that become his signature tune, was The Sunny Side of the Mountain. Slow Poke, recorded in
1951, was another notable King recording. He stayed with the label until 1953.
In 1951, Hawkins and his wife adopted 4-year old [Susan Marlene]. They divorced in 1958, and Susan remained
with her adoptive mother.
Beginning in 1954, Hawkins was a regular performer on ABC Radio and TV's Ozark Jubilee in Springfield,
Missouri, where he met his second wife, Jean Shepard . After a few years with Columbia and RCA Records, he
joined the Grand Ole Opry and returned to King; and in 1962 he recorded his biggest hit, Lonesome 7-7203.
It first appeared on the Billboard country chart as a March 2, 1963 release, three days before Hawkins
died. The song was absent from the charts for the two weeks following his death, but re-appeared on March
23 and spent 25 weeks on the chart, four of them at No. 1, an accomplishment that eluded him in life.
Aircraft accident
On March 3, 1963, Hawkins, Patsy Cline and Cowboy Copas performed at a benefit concert at the Soldiers and
Sailors Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kansas for the family of disc jockey Cactus Jack Call, who had died
in January after an automobile accident. Among the performers was Billy Walker, who received an urgent
phone call and needed to return to Nashville immediately. Hawkins gave Walker his commercial airline ticket
and instead flew back in a private plane in Walker's place.
On March 5, Hawkins, Cline and Copas left for Nashville in a Piper Comanche piloted by Cline's manager (and
Copas' son-in-law), Randy Hughes. After stopping to refuel in Dyersburg, Tennessee, the craft took off at
6:07 p.m. CT. The plane flew into severe weather and crashed at 6:20 p.m. in a forest near Camden,
Tennessee, 90 miles from Nashville. There were no survivors. Fans around the world mourned the loss;
Hawkshaw was survived by his young son Donni, and his wife Jean Shepard was pregnant at the time with their
second son,Harold Franklin Hawkins II. Hawk Jr was born just one month after his father's death.
Hawkins was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Gardens in Goodlettsville, Tennessee in Music Row with Copas
and other country music stars.
Legacy
The location of the airplane crash in the still-remote forest outside Camden is noted by a stone marker,
dedicated on July 6, 1996.
Hawkins is remembered in Love Never Dies on Martin Simpson's 2003 album, Righteousness and Humidity. In
the song, Simpson meets an old truck driver who used to play guitar: I gave old Hawkshaw a Gibson one
time, it was a J-200, man, such a sweet neck! And they say it stood up like a country grave marker, right
there in the middle of that plane wreck.
