MORGANTOWN, W. Va.—Remember the Miners (RTM) is pleased to announce the inaugural Remember the Miners Tribute Concert. RTM is a public awareness campaign established to honor the legacy of all miners; and to raise awareness about the sacrifices that coal miners and their families make for our country.
“It's important to honor and thank the men and women of the coal industry who do the good and honorable work that makes America great,” states Chris Hamilton, the vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association. “The Coal Association is supportive of this campaign and hopes to see you at the celebration in Morgantown. It will be a tremendous event in celebration of West Virginia coal."

House of Delegate member, Sam Argento, from Summersville died on Thursday, following a bout with cancer. Sam was Assistant Minority Whip and Chairman of the House Agriculture Committee who represented the 35th District (Nicholas County). He was also the Democratic candidate for re-election on next week's General Election ballot, which raises several new issues as to timing and possibilities for replacement. That may not represent any problem if the Republican candidate, former coal operator and Nicholas County businessman Pete Sigler, is elected on Tuesday.
