High school baseball
field has new dugouts
By Shirley Shuman
When baseball season rolls around next
spring and the Eagles return to their field, they will
find a definitely welcome
addition. Thanks to grant
money provided by the
Braxton County Commission along with the hard
work of Athletic Director
Lynn Stalnaker and several men from Gassaway
Baptist Church, two new
block dugouts stand ready
for use.
Stalnaker explained
that he “found out about
the available money in
April” and emphasized the
short time he had to manage construction of the
structures. “The last game
played on the field was
June 7,” he said, “and [according to the grant stipulation] the dugouts had to
be completed before July
1.” He added, “We finished
at 3 p.m. June 30.” He also
bought a 12’ by 16’ concession stand with part of the
grant money, which, he explained, had been left from
funds received to build the
fence around the field.
Lloyd Ramsey designed the dugouts, which
are constructed of block
with cement floors. “We
poured 6 ½ yards of concrete,” Stalnaker noted.
The walls of the dugouts
are sealed with block
sealer, and the athletic
director says his intentions are to paint them
before baseball season begins.
The structures contain two rows of seats, one
upper and one lower. The
visitors’ dugout is 30 feet
long while the home dugout measures 40 feet. “We
added a storage room in
the home dugout,” he explained. West Virginia
Metal donated roofs for the
dugouts.
In addition to the
athletic director and
Ramsey, several members
of the Gassaway Baptist
Church, including Bill,
Tyler and Logan Morlan
and Brodie Currence did
much of the work. “Brooks
Fincham was here every
day,” Stalnaker emphasized, saying that he also
received help from other
members of the church
and from some of the players from the 2012 state
championship
team.
“Some other people just
came out to help; altogether, we laid over 800
blocks,” he said.
Some days workers
from the local church actually did double duty.
“One week our church
completed a local mission;
that week some of us
worked on the mission
project during the day and
worked from 5:30 until 9
p.m. on the dugouts,”
Stalnaker commented.
Normally, he said, they
worked from 8:00 a.m. until they finished what they
had planned for the day.
As with most construction projects, building the dugouts for the
baseball field involved
careful planning along
with quite a bit of physical
labor. Luckily for the highschool team, after athletic
director Stalnaker learned
that funds were available,
he managed to obtain

On Friday July 11,
the Bike4Alz group
trekked their way into
beautiful
downtown
Sutton! Upon their arrival
Mayor JL Campbell
greeted them in front of
the courthouse. Arrangements were made for the
Town of Sutton to provide
lodging, food and entertainment for the group’s
short stay. Lodging was
provided by Holy Gray
Park where the bikers
were able to stay a night
indoors and get well rested
for the next day’s leg of
their coast to coast journey. Dinner was provided
by the Town of Sutton; prepared and served by the
Friday night music group
that performs at the
Sutton community building every Friday night. The
bikers were able to come
into town, enjoy a nice
meal and listen to some
music before heading in for
the night.
Bike4Alz has three
main goals: 1. To raise
awareness for Alzheimer’s
disease and its effects. 2.
Inspire others to make a
difference in their community. 3. To raise at least
$100,000 for Alzheimer’s
research for the Bright focus Foundation.
In the summer of
2010, 6 fraternity brothers
biked from California to
Virginia and raised
$56,000 for Alzheimer’s

Multi-award winning
author, Cissy Hassell (pen
name) recently attended
the 50th reunion of the
1964 Gassaway High
School graduating class.
Several of her classmates
were interested in her
writing history and the
awards she has won.
Maysel Robinson
Hassell (writing under
Cissy Hassell) was born
and raised on a forty-eight
acre farm near the small
town of Gassaway, the
youngest of fifteen children, to parents of his,
hers and theirs, a total of
14 siblings. She is the first
to say that growing up in
the hills of West Virginia
taught her a lot about
what home and family values really meant. Although, her family was
poor, they were rich in the
way that really counts.
She says she always knew
she was loved. And she
wanted for nothing. She
feels blessed for having the
parents she had and the
upbringing they gave her.
She was introduced
to the written word at an
early age and began absorbing them like a sponge.
At the end of her first
school year, she had read
every book in the first
grade library. From that
day forward, she read everything she could get her
hands on. Her claim to
fame in the early years
was eraser tag champion
in the second grade and
the girls’ spelling bee
champion in the seventh.
She began writing at
a young age. Her first attempt was a mystery/murder that she still has today.
From there, her writing
abilities delved into songwriting, poetry and short
stories; then later fulllength novels. She went on
to start up a publishing
company whose focus was
new and aspiring authors.
The mother of five
now lives in rural
Chiefland, Florida, with
her husband, Terry, still
her knight in shining armor after forty-one years,
and their dog, Cujo. They
recently gave their menagerie of pets, a herd of
pygmy goats, a miniature
mule, and a big brown
horse she loved dearly, to
friends who take excellent
care of them. She has visiting rights.
She loves genealogy
and dabbles in it whenever she gets the chance
and is able to trace her
family tree back several
generations, finding that
most people she grew up
with are relatives.
Living on a forty-acre
farm, Cissy finds joy in
simple things; wild flowers,
butterflies, cool mornings
and hot chocolate; sunrises and sunsets; books
and music; wolves. buffalo
roundups and whale
watching. Her favorite
places are Nova Scotia, the
Black Hills National Forest
and the Smokey Mountains.
Blessings come from
her five children and nine
grandchildren. She is hoping to turn their farm into
a sanctuary for endangered species, as they have
a multitude of them on
their acreage.
The favorite book she
has written is Coming
Home. She says this one
was therapeutic, as the
tag line on her book reads:
Sometimes, coming home
is the best medicine for the
soul. The adage, truth in
fiction, rings true for this
book. Although most is fiction, there is a thread of
truth woven throughout.
Her greatest enjoyment, besides writing, is
riding her Harley down
back country roads,
though she is happiest
when writing or lost in a
book filled with words and
magic that under certain
circumstances could become true in a different
time or place. She enjoys
different genres and is still
an avid reader of just
about everything and
claims the only thing better than reading a good
book is writing one.
She is fond of saying
she began writing as an
adult to maintain her sanity. Raising five kids, although giving her lots of
joy, was still trying at
times. She is a multiaward winning author and
previous owner of a publishing company, winning
numerous awards for her
work. Recently selling her
publishing company, she
says that even though it
was a satisfying venture,
publishing other authors
left her very little time to
write for herself. For information on all her books,

board vacancy created by

Campbell also requested the Commission
sign a resolution honoring
Brad Carroll for his 20
years of employment with
the Braxton County Solid
Waste Authority’s recycling center. He also asked
permission for the Sutton
Community Development
Corporation’s Junior Task
Force to place a bird bath
on the Courthouse square
near the side entrance. He
explained that the bird
bath had been donated by
Mrs. Larry Emge in honor
of her late husband. Terry
Frame made a motion to
place both items on the
Commission’s next regular
meeting agenda.
Julia Covert addressed the Commission
on behalf of the Braxton
County Animal Shelter.
She stated that the facility had begun selling
county dog licenses and
everything was going well.
She also reported on the
progress of several fund
raisers that shelter staff
and supporters were planning. She stated that Savanna Frame had proposed that the Shelter sell
photographic packages for
families, pets or individuals that she would take.
She stated that a voucher
would be purchased at the
Shelter for $70 all of which
would be retained by the
Shelter. After hearing the
proposal, Terry Frame
made a motion to approve
the fund raising program.

As I
See It
By
Clint Ferguson
By Ed Given
Times are changing…
Times surely are changing… few would
dispute the weather has taken some peculiar
turns lately. Maybe it’s the early start of school
but summer has disappeared. I have been so
busy with work and honey do jobs at the boat
that I haven’t had time to ride my motorcycle.
Of course the garage being so cluttered that I
can’t get it out doesn’t help either. At any rate
the leaves will be falling and the snow flying
before we know it.
The rain last weekend was really needed. I
didn’t even mind too much that it happened on
my days away from the office. Many of the
projects that I had on my list… the rain interfered with. We did manage a few but it was
quite a relaxing weekend. I even found time for
a nap Sunday afternoon. I must admit, that it
was quite nice. In fact, rain or not… I might
just try to find time to repeat that leisurely
activity.
Is in-action better than no action…
Table… seemed to the word of the day at
last Friday’s County Commission meeting. It
seems that the majority of the agenda topics
will have to be aired at another meeting. I am
not an advocate of making decision without the
facts so I am not against tabling a subject if the
need is there. Most of the subject matter that
found its way into this category didn’t have
much to do with the facts. It was mostly financial. As mentioned in this space previously, and
it’s certainly common knowledge around the
Courthouse… the County doesn’t have any
money. So, most of the tabling was a result of
not having enough money to proceed.
I certainly don’t advocate spending money
one doesn’t have. As I See It, that has always
been the problem with the way county funds
are budgeted. Elected officials are charged with
guessing how much money they will take in
during the year and then spending that
amount, or most of it. All too often the revenue
projections are not exactly what they should be,
for whatever reason.
Those charged with this task have been
pretty lucky with their juggling act of spending
as usual and waiting till the money comes in to
pay their bills. They even have it in State Code
that when I and other companies do business
with a governmental entity, I can’t charge them
interest until that account is over 90 days late.
Well guess what, utility companies don’t abide
by the same rule when it comes to us paying
them. The county sure socks it to us with hefty
late fees when we don’t pay our taxes by the
time they say they are due. in fact the fees the
county and utilities’ charge are greater than
what I am allowed to levy againt them. I sure
don’t see the fairness in this type of two way
street, but I guess that’s why our tax dollars go
to all these county officials’ associations.
At any rate, I think the Commission was
wise in not spending money they don’t have. It
will be interesting to see how they react… It is
a long term change in the way they do business
or just temporary?

Bucks in velvet…
It’s hard to believe
that another hunting
season begins in two
months. Summer is a
good time to get out
and observe wildlife
especially the little
ones. It’s also a good
time to see what kind of
bucks might be running
around come fall.
I like to wait until
the evenings after the
sun goes down and
drive the many back
roads as the fields are
always full of deer
then. I saw a decent
buck a couple weeks
ago that was already
out to his ears.
The bigger bucks
tend to be more relaxed
in July and August and
show themselves a
little more. And, you
don’t have to worry if
you spook them as
there’s plenty of time
for them to settle down
before hunting season.
Typically most deer will
just run out of sight as
the woods are thick
with vegetation now.
As fall approaches I
become more cautious
with my scouting.
Summer is also a
good time to put trail
cameras out. By moving them around on
well used deer paths
and natural funnels,
you can get a good idea
how the deer are traveling. This helps to
narrow down your
stand site selections
when October rolls
around. And as always
you just never know
what you’re going to
get a picture of next.
No matter what time of
the year it is I get
excited every time
when the camera is
downloaded and the
pictures pop up.
Did you all know
that deer antlers are
among the fastest growing tissues known to
man? Bucks begin
growing their antlers in
the early spring. Most
of the growth occurs
from late May until the
end of August. During
peak development
antlers can grow up to
½ inch per day. How
big of a rack a buck can
produce varies greatly
depending upon the
age, genes and nutrition of each deer.
The growing
antler, or bone, is
covered with a living
tissue known as “velvet”. Velvet is nothing
more than a hairy skin
that dries up and
begins to peel off as
the antler hardens.
Bucks begin to rub
trees in September to
help speed up the loss
of velvet and to polish
their new racks. It
also helps to
strengthen their neck
muscles for the upcoming antler battles
that will ensue during
the breeding season.
Whitetail deer
have antlers and not
horns. The difference
is that horns are living
bone that is covered
with hard layers of
skin. They are typically unbranched and
are permanently
attached to the skull.
Horns keep growing
year after year and are
never shed. Wild
sheep as well as bison,
cows, and goats have
horns.
Antlers on the
other hand tend to be
branched and are shed
every year during late
winter only to start
the growing process all
over again. Each set is
unique and can grow
in a typical or non
typical fashion. The
head gear on that
monster buck is nothing more than dead
polished bone. Deer,
moose, and elk are
examples of animals
having antlers.
Like stated earlier
age, genetics, and
nutrition are the main
factors in determining
how the antlers develop. Bucks are said
to produce their best
racks around the age
of 5 years old. After 8
years old a buck’s rack
can start to go downhill. Very few bucks
live this long in the
wild. In fact here in
West Virginia, only a
select few make it past
3 ½ years old. Genetics is passed on from
generation to generation and is important,
but nutrition is one of
the main components
to good antler growth.
A buck can have
good genetics but with
poor nutrition it may
not grow to its potential. For example,
without adequate
nutrition a buck with
the genetic background to become the
world record whitetail
buck might be less
than average. This is
because the majority
of the nutrition is
going to fuel the body
and not the head gear.
Bucks with an abundance of nutrients and
minerals will grow the
best racks.
This is why in
areas with high deer
populations you don’t
find many trophy
bucks. There’s not
enough food to go
round and the result is
not only smaller bucks,
but smaller deer in
general. That’s why it’s
important to harvest
adequate number of
does each year in these
areas to ensure not
only bigger bucks, but
healthier herds. Harvesting does is one of
the best ways to reduce
deer populations.
Even though the
summer heat has set in
another hunting season
is just around the
corner. Whitetail deer
are fascinating animals
and I enjoy watching
them every time I see
one. Archery season
opens on September 27,
2014 and there will be
thousands of West
Virginia bow hunters
out there pursuing
them once again. I
don’t know about you,
but I’m ready and
counting down the

sworn testimony of the victim in the matter who
stated that the allegations
contained in the indictment were untrue. The
State then moved that the
matter be dismissed.
Judge Jack Aslop
ruled that the matter be
dismissed with prejudice
and that since such allegations were of a very serious nature the State

TRUTH OR TRADITION?
An hundred and twenty disciples were
baptized with the Holy Spirit on the Day of
Pentecost. Truth or Tradition?
The Promise. Shortly before He returned to
the Father, Jesus appeared to the apostles He
had chosen (Acts 1:2). “And being assembled
together with them (the apostles), commanded
them (the apostles) that they should not depart
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the
Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
For John truly baptized with water; but ye
(the apostles) shall be baptized with the Holy
Ghost not many days hence”(Acts 1:4-5). A
careful reading of this passage will reveal that
the promise of the baptism of the Holy Spirit
was made only to the apostles.
The Selection of Matthias. There were
about an hundred and twenty disciples in Jerusalem at the time (Act 1:15), and while they
were waiting, they selected Matthias to replace
Judas who had fallen away, bringing the number of apostles back to twelve. “And the lot fell
upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the
eleven apostles” (Acts 1:26).
Speaking in Tongues. The next verse:
“And when the day of Pentecost was fully
come, they (the apostles, not the hundred and
twenty), were all with one accord in one place”
(Acts 2:1). “And they (the apostles) were all
filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance.” (Acts 2:4). The tongues were not
some unknown, heavenly language, but simply
the languages of the people assembled on that
occasion (fifteen plus languages or dialects are
listed in verses 9-11). “Every man heard them
speak in his own language (Acts 2:6). “And
how hear we every man in our own tongue,
wherein we were born? (Acts 2:8). Language
and tongue are used interchangeably.
Those Speaking. All those filled with the
Holy Ghost began to speak (Acts 2:4). How
many were speaking? “But Peter, standing
up with the eleven, lifted up his voice…” (Acts
2:14).
Peter and the eleven make twelve.
Only the apostles were speaking, so only the
aspostles were baptized in the Holy Spirit on
this occasion. That would be in keeping with
the promise, that had been made only to the
Twelve.
The Gift of the Holy Spirit. The Gift of the
Holy Spirit is promised to all who will repent
and be baptized for remission of sins (Acts
2:38). The Spirit dwells within all those who
will do so (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19). But the
gift of the Holy Spirit is not the same as the
baptism of the Holy Spirit. The baptism enabled the apostles to not only perform miracles,
including raising the dead (Acts 9:36-41), but
also to pass on miraculous gifts to others,
through the laying on of hands. Space will
not allow a discussion of that here, but if you
would like further discussion, give me a call at

states that Country
Roads Transit has
assumed the role of
the senior center van.
That is true, but I feel
seniors will be missing
the convenience of the
senior van because
I am told the Country Roads Transit will
have to be notified a
day ahead of time if
one needs it. Sometimes seniors do not
KNOW that far ahead
of time when they will
need transportation.
Also, I am told that it
will be curb-to-curb,
meaning that seniors
will not have help getting groceries to their
door which the kind
senior bus drivers tried
to do. The senior van
will be greatly missed,
I predict. Although I
am thankful for Country Roads, it will not
fully replace the senior
vans.

17:9. We may talk a
good story about our
humility, spirituality,
and commitment, but
our hearts may be swelling with conceit and
exalted righteousness.
The only way we can
truly know ourselves is
by beholding Christ in
his words and works.
That is why I like a
red-letter Bible where
the words that Jesus
spoke are red and easy
to find. We can read
about what he did and
what he taught. When
we see his consistent
love it shows us our own
lack of love. When we
think about his purity
and excellence, we see
our own weaknesses
and defects. We can
then see that if we are
ever to be “saved” it will
not be through our own
goodness, but through
God’s mercy and infinite
grace….”No outward
observances can take
the place of simple faith
and entire renunciation
of self. But no man can
empty himself of self.
We can only consent
for Christ to accomplish
the work. Then the language of the soul will be,
Lord, take my heart; for
I cannot give it. It is Thy
property. Keep it pure,
for I cannot keep it for
Thee. Save me in spite
of myself, my weak,
unChristlike self. Mold

me, fashion me, raise
me into a pure and holy
atmosphere, where the
rich current of Thy love
can flow through my
soul.” (Christ’s Object
Lessons page 159)
This is pretty heavy
to digest, but only daily contact with Christ
through prayer and exploration of his teachings and messages to
us in Scripture can help
us learn who he really is. But there are
many distractions out
there to keep our mind
filled with everything except Christ. Music can
be one of the distractions. Music is powerful
and can heal or harm.
Steven Tyler says that
rock music is the strongest drug in the world.

The Roku device is not
much bigger than a

it is attached (and if
you have Wi-Fi and/or

can choose many, many
sites to view. One is
YouTube where I found
Fountainview Academy
videos. The videos are
made by students from
this boarding academy.
These students travel
to many locations with
their musical instruments and even a grand
piano and sing and play
orchestral instruments
amid beautiful scenic
sites at beaches, on
mountains, or other
places. It is great! It
is no wonder they have
a large waiting list of
parents wanting their
children to experience
this wholesome, beautiful way to use their
musical talents.

That Dam Race features 93 participants
Overall winner sets new record
By Shirley Shuman
Among the 93 participants in That Dam
Race last Saturday,
three young men broke
the course record, and
the overall winner cut
more than a minute off
the previous one.
First place overall
winner Hayden Harrison, 17, finished in
18:14.4 for a new record. The old record,
according to race director Burton Spaur,
was 19.39. Second
place overall went to
Keefe Kiser, 22, who
ran the difficult course
in 19:08.6. A sophomore at Braxton Coun-
ty High, Seth Backus,
finishing at 19:18.8,
placed third overall.
First place overall among the female
runners went to 15year old Aidan Payton.
Her time was 23:41.7.
BCHS junior Kate Golinsky placed second
overall in that category
with a time of 25:53.5,
and the third place female runner was Lois
Gillenwater at 27.59.6.
Director Spaur
noted that of the 93
participants, of which
eight were walkers,
one came from Ontario,
Canada, and one from
the United Kingdom.
Also among the runners were members of a
family from Texas.
Referring to the
fact that the race drew
fewer participants
than it had in the past,
Spaur said, “[Weather]
conditions included
scattered heavy rain
showers, and that may
have caused the numbers to be down a little.” Spaur was, however, apparently happy
to report that the race
went smoothly despite

Impact Week impacts Community
By Nikki Paintiff
The Christ United
Methodist Church hosted
its annual community
Impact Week last week.
Impact Week is a church
program designed to help
individuals “get things
done” around the community. This year’s group
had approximately 35
projects, meaning they
served about 35 families among the community. Projects included
repairing roofs, painting,
leveling houses, reflooring (from flood damage),
building decks, repairing
doors, plumbing, insulating, etc.
Valley Community
Baptist Church from Connecticut has been coming
to Sutton for the past 13
years and plays a big role
in Impact Week. Each
year the church brings a
new group of ambitious
8th graders to serve the
community. The missionary group resides in the
Kid Annex of the Sutton
Baptist Church during
their stay. Although it
faired rain much of the
week, the weather did
not hinder their ultimate
mission. Mornings were
full of work projects, while
afternoons included pool
ministry and lots of fun.
For the last six years, the
group has been renting
the Sutton Pool for Impact
Week, making it free of
charge to those in and
around the community
to take part in the fun
and exciting activities.
Pool ministry was based
upon various activities
set up, which provided
great opportunity for the
kids to interact with one
another, while learning
about God at the same
time. This year’s theme,
“Win from Within,” was
defined by one member as
“the idea to be right with
God internally, and giving
all of our problems to him.
Being right with the Lord
can help us overcome
obstacles in life.” While
the main goal of Impact
Week is to educate about
the power of God, another
member stated that “it
isn’t only about Him – it
is also about the relationships everyone builds
together and breaking
down the barrier between
churches.” This year there
were six churches from
the Braxton area involved:
Sutton Baptist, Christ
Church United Methodist,
Shiloh Fellowship, Living River, and Flatwoods
United Methodist. One
member from the Connecticut group stated that
“It’s such a memorable
experience seeing the Sutton Community working
together and serving with
us each year.”

animal abandonment.

Lance is a 2 year
old collie mix. He is
active and friendly and
would love a big farm
on which to run.
Landen is a 2 year
old Walker mix. He is
good with other dogs
and loves affection.
Lynn is a senior
Min-Pin. We guestimate her to be 8-9
years old. She is quiet and friendly and
doesn’t deserve to
spend her last years
in a shelter when she
would much rather
be on your lap. Lynn
gets along with other
dogs and appears to be
housebroken.
The shelter is in
need of bleach and
dish soap, but any
donations are always
greatly appreciated!

DHHR urges
parents to check
immunization
requirements
The West Virginia
Department of Health
and Human Resources
Division of Immunization Services urges parents to take action to
ensure children have
the proper vaccinations
before school starts.
Dr. Letitia Tierney,
Commissioner of the
West Virginia Bureau for
Public Health and State
Health Officer, says
now is the best time
for parents of students
entering kindergarten,
7th and 12th grades to
make sure their child
has the required immunizations.
• Children entering a West Virginia school for the first
time from kindergarten
through grade 12 are required to have the DTaP,
polio, MMR, chickenpox
and hepatitis B vaccines. Children who are
not behind schedule
can receive school entry “booster” doses in
just two vaccinations
(DTaP-Polio and MMRchickenpox) with combination vaccines.
• 7th graders must
show proof they received
a dose of Tdap vaccine,
which protects against
tetanus, diphtheria,
and pertussis (whooping cough); and a dose of
the meningitis vaccine.
• 12th graders
must show proof of a
dose of Tdap and a second dose of the meningitis vaccine, if the
first dose of the meningitis vaccine was given
before the child’s sixteenth birthday. If the
first dose was given after
the sixteenth birthday,
a second dose of the
meningitis vaccine is not
required.
“These immunization requirements will
not only lengthen the
time for which immunized students are protected from vaccinepreventable diseases,
but also will lower their
chances of passing diseases to classmates with
weakened immune systems, pre-school aged
children, infants, the
elderly and others,” Dr.
Tierney said.
The Division of Immunization Services
encourages parents to
schedule these vaccinations now as doctors’
offices will be extremely
busy with immunizations and sports physicals in the weeks leading
up to the start of school.

required school entry
shots, visit www.immunization.wv.gov.

Limited bear firearms season
permit applications now available
Applications are
now available for permits for the limited
bear firearms season
this fall in West Virginia.
Hunters are reminded that, concurrent with the traditional buck-gun season, a bear season
without dogs will occur
Nov. 24–Dec. 6, 2014,
on public and private
land in 17 counties, by
permit only. Barbour,
Braxton, Clay, Grant,
Greenbrier, Hardy,
Lewis, Mercer, Monroe,
Pendleton, Pocahontas, Randolph, Summers, Taylor, Tucker,
Upshur, and Webster
counties will be open
for concurrent bear
hunting with permits.
Resident landowners,
their resident children
or resident tenants
who live on the land
are not required to apply for a limited bear
firearms season permit
or purchase a class DS
bear hunting stamp to
bear hunt on their own
land.
“Counties that
will be open for bear
hunting during the
buck-gun season are
above their management objective and
need additional bears
harvested to achieve
their goal,” said Colin
Carpenter, black bear
project leader for the
West Virginia Division
of Natural Resources.
“Timing is critical when
setting bear hunting
seasons, and the limited bear firearms season will occur when
the maximum number
of hunters are in the
woods. This is the second time that hunters
in the majority of these
counties will have the
opportunity to harvest
a black bear during the
buck-gun season, and
we hope they will take
advantage of it.”
Each hunter must
fill out a separate application that must
be signed, dated, legible, complete, and
received by the DNR
Application Section by
Aug. 18, 2014. Successful applicants will
be sent an “Eligibility
Card” (permit) in the
mail. This permit will
indicate the county in
which the applicant
may hunt and provide
instructions for obtaining a class DS stamp.
Neither the permit nor
the class DS stamp is
transferrable, and the
county of hunt cannot
be changed.
Applications are
currently available online at www.wvdnr.gov.
Printed applications
will be be available in
late July at hunting
license agents, DNR
district offices, DNR Elkins Operations Center
and the DNR main office in South Charleston.
Completed applications must be
mailed to the Application Section, West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, P.O.
Box 67, Elkins, WV
26241-0067, by Aug.
18, 2014. Details concerning bear hunting
seasons can be found
on pages 36-39 of the
2014-2015 Hunting
and Trapping Regulations Summary.

Glenville State College yearbook
and campus newspaper archives
now available online to public
Glenville State
College’s Robert F.
Kidd Library staff recently finished digitally archiving the longtime campus newspaper, The Glenville
Mercury as well the
college yearbook, the
Kanawhachen.
The Mercury was
published regularly
from 1929 until September 2001.
Through the years
many things were
reported within the
pages of the Mercury,
such as visits to campus by Amelia Earhart
in 1936 and Eleanor
Roosevelt in 1939. The
Phoenix, the current
school newspaper,
Don’t Just Dream
About That New Home.
Make It a
Reality with
a Home Loan
From
Premier Bank.
began publication in
2005.
“Some of the most
interesting and unique
material in the Mercury revolves around
local legend, superstitions, ghost stories,
and historical events.
Another interesting
part of the paper is the
old advertisements for
local services,” said
GSC Library Associate
and Archivist Jason
Gum.
The Kanawhachen
has been in print off
and on for over a century, first beginning in
1911.
The yearbook was
so named due to the
importance of the Little Kanawha River for
transportation to and
from the rest of central
West Virginia during
the early years of GSC.
Kanawha, from
the river, and the diminutive ‘-chen’ meaning little in German.
Like most yearbooks, it
chronicled campus life
with photos, polls, and
humorous quips.
Both publications
were mostly produced
by students enrolled
in GSC’s journalism
class.
Until recently, the
papers and yearbooks
could only be viewed in
person at the library.
As with many older paper documents,
the files were fragile
and had to be handled
with care.
“The years upon
years of use and deterioration made me
realize that, if these
materials were going
to survive much longer, something had
to be done immediately. Each time some
of the oldest issues
were used, pieces of
history were turning to
dust, never to be seen
again. Now, the original works can be preserved and treated as
artifacts while the accessibility and search
ability of the content
has actually increased
beyond what previous generations who
created this treasure
trove could have ever
imagined,” said Gum.
The process of
digitalization began
with a machine called
the Book Drive Pro. It
uses two digital cameras to take high-res-
olution images and
then optical character
recognition software
makes the text on the
pages word-searchable.
That means every word that was
typed into the pages of
the Mercury and the
Kanawhachen can now
be searched for specific topics or people in
a compilation of over
100 years’ of Glenville
State College history.
Gum says the digitization process took about
four years for all issues
of both documents and
that GSC saved between 10 and 20 thousand dollars by doing
the process in-house.

publication, visit www.
glenville.edu and click
on ‘Library’ near the
top of the page. Next
click ‘Archives’ located on the top left of
that page. From there
you can click on either

High Adventure takes Glenville State College
students across the Mountain State
Glenville State
College students are
continuing to explore
the great outdoors by
participating in the
GSC High Adventure
Program. Through
excursions that take
place throughout the
academic year, the High
Adventure Program allows students to take
part in fun and exciting
recreational outings.
“The GSC High Adventure program makes
outdoor activities much
more accessible for students here at GSC. Not
only do they offer a
significantly lower fee
than if students were
to go on their own, but
they also organize the
trip so that students do
not need to spend precious time trying to find
venues on their own.
The program allows
students to get out and
experience things that
they otherwise might
not have the opportunity to experience. This
adds some excitement
and recess from typically stressful schedules and introduces
a new world of entertainment that is often
neglected in today’s society,” said GSC senior
business major Cory
Ash of Spencer (Roane
County), West Virginia.
The trips and activities currently scheduled for the fall 2014
semester are: whitewater rafting down
the New River on August 31st, whitewater
rafting on the Gauley
River on September
14th, rock climbing in
the New River Gorge
(NRG) on September
28th, a backpacking
trip on October 5th,
horseback riding on
October 12th, a leaf
peeper hike through
the NRG on October
19th, mountain biking
trip on October 26th,
NRG bridge walk on
November 9th, paintball at Scary Creek on
November 16th, and a
ski trip to Snowshoe
Resort on December
7th.
“I always promote
our High Adventure
Program when I’m on
the road talking with
prospective students,
and they love hearing about some of our
unique opportunities.
Since our campus is
located in central West
Virginia, we have easy
access to a large number of great outdoor
activities. The program
has had a positive effect on enrollment
here at our college,”
said GSC Admissions
Counselor Adrian Duelley.
High Adventure
outings are open to all
GSC students, faculty,
and staff. The activi-
ties are geared toward
beginners so no experience is necessary.
The trips include fees
which cover lessons,
transportation, permits, rentals, and guide
services when required.
GSC High Adventure
Program staff provide
the equipment needed
for the activities or rent
necessary gear for the
trip.
“We have a bunch
of great activities all
over this amazing state
of ours this semester.
Students will have opportunities to enjoy
some world class recreation and learn more
about West Virginia,”
said GSC Director of
High Adventure Dave
Bernier.
For more information or to suggest a
trip in your area, contact Bernier at David.

served as the Dean of
Women at Creighton
University from 19501964.
For part of her final exit project, DiStefano created a general
studies course that will
be offered as a pilot
program at Glenville
State College for the
fall 2014 term to help
students who are undecided in what area
they should major. She
has also developed and
proposed a conflict
analysis course that
would instill negotiation skills and academic success in students.
“I am incredibly
honored to be the recipient of the Maurine
Hamilton Award. I am
also so very grateful
that I was able to complete my practicum
here at GSC. This is a
wonderful place with
a distinctive mission
that emphasizes leadership and community.
I now have an amazing
opportunity to teach
this new course as
a pilot GSC 100 (the
freshman general education requirement at
GSC) class this fall,
and I eagerly anticipate
all the possibilities for
innovation and growth
that this will bring,”
said DiStefano.
“This award is
further evidence of the
commitment of Joanna
and the Glenville State
staff generally to professional development
that enhances the
quality of the instruction and services the
College offers its students,” said GSC Provost and Senior Vice
President Dr. John
Peek.

course or other academic resources at
