The Girl Scout Council of the Nation's Capital recently announced their choices for the 2012 Women of Distinction Award. Three outstanding women from the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia were selected to receive the prestigious award based on distinguished service, excellent leadership and capacity to serve as role models for girls, including our own, Morgan County Commission President - Stacy Dugan. "We received nominations from individuals, community leaders, business owners and the government sector. The honorees were selected by an independent committee comprised of former Awardees, unaffiliated with Girl Scouts,” said Berniece Collis, member of the Girl Scout Council Board of Directors. Ask Stacy Dugan to define her core and she’ll immediately say, ”Arizona.” Arizona Henry was Stacy’s great-grandmother who raised her and taught her loving lessons of hard work, respect for your neighbor and giving back to the community.

Nearly thirty years ago, the leaders of Lewis County began planning to expand our facilities to meet the growing needs of government. They diligently started saving for an expansion. Today we are celebrating the nearly three decades of fiscal stewardship and management that have made the Lewis County Judicial Annex a reality.
Numerous plans had been discussed, but it was not until 2009 when the Honorable Judge Thomas Keadle suggested a judicial annex that the county found a viable solution to our problem. The search began to find an architectural firm that could provide a solid, state of the art design to fit the needs of the court systems.
