The soft glow of candlelight illu-minated the faces of several com-munity members at Saturdaynight’s Women’s Resource Center23rd annual Candlelight Vigil, asthe 23 victims lost to domestic vio-lence in West Virginia in the pastyear were honored by name andcandle flame.

As October marks Domestic Vio-lence Awareness Month, WRC Di-rector Patricia Bailey said the pur-ple ribbons pinned on the blouses,blazers and lapels of every individ-ual in attendance served a crucialpurpose.

“Awareness is key to ending do-mestic violence,” she said. “It’s very

important to pay tribute to thosewho have lost their lives in WestVirginia as a result of domestic vio-lence, as well as celebrate thosewho have survived.”

The event left many attendeeswith a heavy heart, especially afterthe keynote speaker, Erica Hamb,of Beckley, recounted the story ofher mother, Theresa Wilson, whodied from domestic abuse in 2012.

Wilson, who grew up with an abu-sive father, was a victim of violencefrom even her youngest years,Hamb said.

Hamb attributes the abusive ac-tions that occurred in the beginningof Wilson’s life as the cause of theendless cycle of domestic violencethat continued in her life until heruntimely death.

For that reason, she cited pro-grams like the Women’s ResourceCenter as being highly beneficial

Princeton native Patch Whisky adds new life to a dark, gaping alley on Mercer Street as part of efforts by thePrinceton Renaissance Project to rejuvenate the Downtown Princeton area. Whisky has worked on similar revital-ization projects in neighborhoods of several states and is happy to be working on a project back in his hometown.

By Brandi UnderwoodREGISTER-HERALD REPORTER

In July 2012, a building on the800 block of Mercer Streetburned down, leaving a giant

gap in the already lacking Down-town Princeton streetscape.

The alley created by the voidwas dark, depressing and often adestination for illegal and danger-ous activity.

Beginning two weeks ago, thatdarkness began to be diminished.Now, the walls flanking the emptyspace have been invaded by alienoccupants of a new, much morecolorful variety. These new,galaxy-garnered guests took shapefrom the nozzle of Princeton na-tive Patch Whisky’s spray paintcan.

Princeton Renaissance Project,

empowered by the Blueprint Com-munities Program and sponsoredby the West Virginia CommunityDevelopment Hub, began planninga large-scale community revital-ization project more than a yearago.

A large part of that project in-volves rejuvenating Mercer Streetby way of an arts revival. All downthe street, blank walls have be-come canvas for new artwork, anda number of other beautificationprojects are still in production.

Greg Puckett, executive directorof Community Connections Inc., anonprofit corporation dedicated toimproving the lives of children andfamilies on a local, regional andstatewide level, is a co-chair of thePrinceton Renaissance Projectteam.

“We have a drug problem. Wehave a prostitution problem,”Puckett said of Princeton. “If wework on positive economic devel-opment and community improve-ment, guess what? All of thosethings fade.
