MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — With the forecast of another snowy winter season on the way, last week’s donation of four-wheel drive pickup trucks to Hospice of the Panhandle and Panhandle Home Health by Powerball jackpot winner W. Randy Smith was particularly timely, officials said.

“We’re exceedingly grateful,” Maria Lorensen, development director of Hospice of the Panhandle, told the former Berkeley County sheriff and magistrate Tuesday at an informal ceremony.
