Acting Governor Tomblin Dedicates Corridor
H Bridge to Fallen Marine and All Veterans
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
“There is no greater calling than
the call to help others,” Earl Ray
Tomblin, acting governor of West
Virginia said. “It was a natural attribute of Richard’s long before he became a Marine.”
Tomblin came to Hardy County
to dedicate the “Richard Lee “Dickie” Moyers Veterans Memorial
Bridge on Friday, July 22. More than
100 people packed the Resource
Room at Eastern West Virginia
Community and Technical College to
witness the dedication.
Tomblin was joined by Peggy
Hawse, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin
III’s regional coordinator, State Senators Walt Helmick (D-15) and
Robert Williams (D-14), Delegate
Harold Michael (D-47), former
Hardy County Commissioner and
Vietnam Veteran Roger Champ and
clergyman Chris Whetzel.
It was Champ, along with WVU
Extension Agent David Workman,
who lobbied the state legislature to
name the bridge that crosses the
South Branch Potomac River on
Corridor H in Moyers’ memory.
“It was really a big team effort,”
Champ said in his remarks as he acknowledged the support of the local
veterans organizations - the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign
Wars and the 40/8. “We’re reminded
that many of the freedoms we enjoy
come at a price. We made history in
Hardy County today. This has never

A Governor’s Community Participation Grant, which Michael was instrumental in acquiring, paid for the

One component of the system will

the back of the vehicle. The component also has a built-in video screen.

teer Fire Company has brought that aspect to this celebration for at least 60 years. For them, it is hard work, but satisfying because it raises money to purchase and maintain fire
equipment.
We’re lucky in the Moorefield area to have a well-trained
and highly motivated group of volunteers who belong to this
fire company. They respond all hours of the day or night and
they respond quickly. And because they stay up to date on
training methods and have state of the art equipment, the
residents and businesses have lower fire insurance costs.
For that reason we strongly urge you to support the firemen by attending the carnival this week at the Town Park.
Buy something to eat, get tickets for rides, or play the games.
If you don’t want to ride anything, find a youngster who has
used up all his (or her) tickets. (Do check with mom or dad
to be sure it’s all right to do this.)
The Grand Parade and Queen’s Pageant are also possible
due to more hard work by the Firemen, their spouses and
other volunteers.
So when you enjoy any of these activities, remember the
group that brought you the carnival and the parades. You
might even thank a fireman, if you have a chance, not just for
the good times, but the good feeling you have knowing these
men and women would risk it all to save your house, your Thirty Years Ago

It’s a good thing most Lutherans
are gainfully employed and have other
things to occupy their daily minds.
With a bunch of free time on their hands, like folks in the Middle East, they’d
be like Sunnis and Shiites whacking at each other every chance they got. I’m
picking on Lutherans, because I was confirmed in St. Peters Lutheran Church
in Wardensville, which I haven’t attended except for funerals for years.
Every lesson I’ve ever had in writing suggests that the Holy Bible is poorly written. Beautiful prose poorly presented. How else can so many differing
interpretations spring from one manuscript. The same might be said for the
United States Constitution.
I never cease to be amazed at how much wheel spinning, arguing time can
be spent over those different interpretations. Politically, social conservatives
and liberals love a good squabble over fine points, none of which will keep us
from starving to death if we don’t keep our economic house in order.

Yup. I’ve lost a little weight. Lost and gained and lost again. Bouncing
between 238 and 242, but down from 260 +/-. I’ve done it carb counting to
help control type 2 diabetes. Seems to be helping.
I think this summer bounce routine may be brought about by too much
beer. Beer has less carbohydrates than many beverages and foods I like, but
it’s a high calorie item. Calories build weight and waistlines.
For first time in years I can pull weeds better. Big spare tire around my
middle made hoeing garden weeds more comfortable if less precise. Loss of
some air in that tire makes bending and pulling easier.
In gardening, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as the ripping sound a
weed makes as it’s roots separate from clinging soil. I’ve heard that sound
more this year than for several past. Fresh salad vegetables I’m raising replace high carb potatoes, breads and pastas in my diet. Consequently weight
fluctuates as I pull weeds or sip beer to celebrate the pulling. Wonder what
my excuses will be when gardening season ends?

Doug Coffman families. These three
scholarships will be available annually to graduates of East Hardy High
School.
Jesse Cook plans to major in secondary education, political science,

Society, treasurer of the FBLA,

FirstEnergy Offers Tips for
Electricity Conservation
With hot and humid weather predicted to continue throughout the region, FirstEnergy Corp.’s utility companies are offering tips to help customers save money, keep cool and
conserve electricity.
• Consider setting air conditioners a few degrees warmer on hot
days. Every degree you add to your
interior temperature in the summer
can reduce your energy usage by up
to 3 percent.
• Close drapes or blinds on windows that receive direct sunlight.
Blocking the sun’s rays reduces the
temperature in your home, which
means your air conditioner has less
work to do.
• Close air conditioning registers
in unused rooms and keep the doors
to those rooms closed. This will reduce the amount of energy your air
conditioner will use to maintain your
home’s temperature.
• Don’t position heat-producing
appliances near wall-mounted thermostats. Doing so will make your air
conditioner run longer than necessary to maintain your preferred temperature.
• Turn off electric appliances and
equipment that you do not need or
are not using.
• Postpone using major electric
household appliances, such as stoves,
dishwashers and clothes dryers until
the cooler, evening hours.
• Cook with the microwave instead of the oven. Traditional ovens
require far more energy than microwaves, and they produce substantial heat inside your home, making
your air conditioner run longer.
Demand for electricity is expected to increase as the excessive heat
and humidity continue this week.
PJM Interconnection – the regional
power pool operator – and FirstEnergy will continue to monitor conditions throughout the week and will
request assistance as necessary.

...for the Lord your God is a merciful God...
Stop in and find out.
Our brother Brad,
We thought of you with love today, but that has never changed.
We thought of you yesterday and all the days before the same.
We think of you in our silence but will gladly speak your name,
We have so many memories and of course that special picture
in a frame.
Your memory is our treasure with which we will never part,
God has you in his keeping,
But you are forever in our hearts.
So today we think of you fondly and send our love to you
up high,
We know we will see you another time and never have to
say goodbye.
The Malcolm’s,
Our Love Always!

I hope that you remember last
week’s article where I rambled over
topics of early settlers of Hardy
County and who may have given his
name to the Reynolds Gap area.
The Rev. Reynolds which I mentioned likely was not the person in
question, but in thinking of him, I recalled another Hardy County clergyman who was gone by the time
Reynolds came on the scene. Perhaps
you’ve never heard the name, because he made a greater impression
on the community to which he emigrated, but here is the story of another early settler who “moved through
Hardy County.”
The gentleman in question is Rev.
David Badgley. I’ll begin with the two
paragraph posting which Nora Tocus
put on wvgenweb.org:
“Hardy County Families, Reverend David Badgley and Settlers
From Hardy County, VA to Illinois,
1797.
In 1797 Reverend David BADGLEY, a Baptist minister from Hardy
County, departed with 154 people for
Illinois. They traveled on the Ohio
River then went overland to their
destination, the town of New Design,
established in 1786 by Reverend
James LEMEN, a friend of Thomas
Jefferson, as a model frontier town in
the anti-slavery Jeffersonian model.
The trip was disastrous as the group
encountered heavy flooding and an
epidemic: half of them died. BADGLEY established the first Protestant
church north of the Ohio River.
If you are aware of anyone in your
ancestry having gone out to Illinois
with Reverend Badgley and then returned to Hardy County, please contact me at E-mail: [email protected]. Thanks.
Now let’s check out our early clergyman a little further. David Badgley
was born on November 5, 1749 in Essex County, New Jersey, the son of
Anthony Badgley (1720-1804) and
Ruth Osborn Badgley (1724-1770).
His wife was Rhoda Valentine Badgley (1752-1839). Inscribed on his
tombstone is this bit of information:
“Emigrated to Hardy County, VA in
1768. Visited Illinois in 1796 & constituted the first Baptist church in the
territory. 1797 emigrated to Ill. Died
Dec. 16, 1824. Peace to his memo-

GARBER
ry.”
Here are a few details to provide
a little more insight into our itinerant
preacher: “Hampshire County, VA—
State enumeration 1782-1785, page
70—David Badgley, 10 White souls,
1 dwelling and 3 other buildings.”
“Baptist Minister & Foundry Owner.”
This note was taken from “Memoirs of David Badgley, Primitive Baptist Library: “He was born in the
State of New Jersey, Essex County,
near Elizabethtown, Nov. the 5th,
1749, of parents of moderate circumstances, but of amiable character.
Anthony Badgley and Elizabeth his
wife (whose maiden name was Osbourn), were Presbyterians by profession, and taught their children accordingly, as to religious tenets, and
enjoined on them habits of strict honesty and industry. When the subject
of the present memoir, David Badgley, was about 19 years of age, his
parents moved to the State of Virginia, Hampshire County. On the
year following, he was married to a
young woman by the name of Rhoda
Valentine, (whose parents were also
religious and honest) with whom he
lived an agreeable life, she being affectionate and industrious.
As to person, he was about five
feet seven inches in height, rather
corpulent, but comely in features.
On the 23d of November, 1824, he
was taken with his last sickness,
which he endured with great patience. He was blest with his common
reason while able to speak, and although he was much attached to his
wife and children, yet, at times, appeared much delighted with the hope
of eternal glory. On the 16th of December, 1824, he resigned his breath,
in the 76th year of his age, without a
struggle or groan—and left his
beloved wife, who had taken a share
with him in prosperity and adversity,
Boats likely used by Rev. Badgley to Illinois
then in her 73rd year, by whom he
has had 12 children—four of them
previously deceased—eight live near
her, and seven profess a hope in
Christ.
The writer of these memoirs having been intimately acquainted with
the subject thereof about 17 years of
the latter end of his days, and believing he is correctly informed of the
former part of his life, has with due
regard for him and his surviving
friends, sketched these memoirs, in
hopes that if the reader will reflect
and say within himself, did my father,
or brother, or friend, thus labor in the
Lord’s vineyard—and shall I stand
idle—he is gone and I must follow.
WILLIAM JONES, Printed at the
Office of the Spectator, Edwardsville, Illinois, Sept. 1825.”
There is much more to this story
than has been revealed thus far. Dr.
Emmert F. Bittinger makes several
references to the Badgley family in
his monumental history ALLEGHENY PASSAGE. His first reference
appears on page 105 where he notes
the following about David Badgley’s
father, Anthony. In reference the Jacob Landes Family, he writes: “His
first land record shows that on April
17, 1794, he had surveyed 113 acres
on South Mill Creek (Survey book
No. 2, 111) adjacent to Anthony Badgley, a minister.” Then in footnote
#55 he observes: “It is interesting to
note that the Landeses settled adjacent to Benjamin Henkle and Anthony Badgely. Both of them were ministers. We know that Anthony Badgley was a minister because he submit-
ted a signed marriage record to the
Hardy County Court house in 1787.
It is one of the oldest on record in the
county and is found in Drawer No.
1.”
Bittinger’s second reference to
the family is found on page 139: “Data gathered by the present author but
which was unknown to Semple, can
add our understanding of this church
(Patch’s Church). County records tell
of two ‘Baptist ministers,’ a father
and a son, who lived in the Petersburg area in the 1780s and 1790s.
The father, Rev. Anthony Badgley of
New Jersey came to the South
Branch and died there ca. 1800 (History St. Clair County, Ill., 1881, 53).
Local land records reveal that he
lived adjacent to Jacob Landes and
signed a record for the marriage of
Philip Weese (Wies) and Mary on
Feb. 6, 1787 (Marriage Record,
Hardy County Courthouse). He had
a son, David, who began to conduct
marriages which are on record from
the 1790s. In 1797, Rev. David Badgley joined a large caravan of pioneers
from the South Branch Valley, including many Brethren, and went
west. He preached at New Design,
Ill., before 1800 and is credited with
founding the first Baptist Church in
that state (History, 1881, 53.)
Apparently, Rev. David Badgley
and his wife Rhoda lived on Looney’s
Creek, for in 1790 they sold land located there to John Bishop, (Bk. 2,
273). There is or was a place called
‘Badgley’s Ford’ on Looney’s Creek.”
A Letter from the Moyers Family
To start with, our family wants to
give Roger Champ a special thanks
and all veterans who have worked and
helped Roger with naming this bridge
after our brother and son. I would
have liked for my dad to have lived
long enough to have seen this. He
would have been very proud. But I
know he and Dick are looking at it
now and they are very proud. Dick
would probably be standing there with
unbelief that you all would do this for
him. I know that Dick and our family
know that it is not just for him. This is
for all veterans.
The family that lived on this farm
before we did had two dogs, shepherds that would go and get the cows
when it was milking time. Their
names were Shep and Raily and when
the farmer would go toward the truck
or start it up, those dogs were there.
Well, they teased Dick and me. They
called us Shep and Raily because
when we saw daddy going for that
truck, we’d be there too.
My mother and I were talking
about Dick and the Marine Corps,
that it was to be. When he was in
school, Dick brought Army and Marine books home to read all the time.
Before graduating, he told mother
and daddy he was going to join the
Marines. Mother and daddy both got
upset and asked him not to do it. He
changed his mind and said he wouldn’t.
Then he got drafted and was in
Fairmont three days. His blood pressure was a little high and after three
days they said they would leave it up
to him whether they would pass him
or not. His blood pressure was up and
he was flat footed and he couldn’t see
his hand in front of him without his
glasses. He told them to pass him and
they did. When they called him back
to Fairmont, a Marine recruiter came
into this room and said they needed
three volunteers. No one volunteered
and the recruiter walked down the
line and said I’ll take you, you and
you. Dick was one of the yous.
We had two uncles in the service.
My dad’s brother, Uncle Oliver was in
the Navy and my mother’s sister’s husband, Uncle John Field was in the
Army. My little brother Larry was in
the Marines and we have a cousin,
John Ross in the Marines now.
My other brother, David was
telling me that when Dick was home
on leave and they went to visit family,
he would pretend to be asleep so Dick
would carry him in the house. My sisters Linda and Diane reminded me
that we were all at home that if there
were five pieces of candy, Dick would
do without and let us have it. That was
the kind of brother and person he was.
When we go across this bridge and
see Dick’s name, we’ll remember him
with a smile and love him in our
hearts. But this is not just for Dick, but
for all who have given the ultimate
sacrifice.
Again, we want to thank Roger
from the bottom of our hearts and all
that worked to get this done. May
God bless you and God bless America.
Thank You

enjoy the precious freedoms that we
Manchin sent a letter which have,” he wrote.
Continued from page 1
Tomblin also acknowledged the
sacrifice Moyers made. “He fought
for our freedom and for the freedom
of people he didn’t know,” he said.
“From this day forward, when you
travel across this bridge, you will remember the sacrifice Dickie Moyers
and all veterans made for those freedoms.”
Michael, who was Master of Ceremonies, thanked the family for their
attendance. “They say that time heals
all wounds, but we know that’s not
the case,” he said.
Moyers grew up in the shadow of
the Corridor H bridge over the South
Branch Potomac River. His family
operated a dairy farm there. Moyers
was killed in Vietnam on Nov. 11,
1968. He had only been in country 37
days.
Orpha Sue Moyers and her late
husband, Richard, had six children.
She currently has 16 grandchildren
and numerous great grandchildren.
“I’m very proud,” she said.
Corridor H Gets
Continued from page 1
In West Virginia, the only remaining portion of the ADHS not complete is a 58-mile stretch of Corridor
H. The highway will eventually stretch
from Weston to Route 81 at the Virginia state line.
Steve Foster, chairman of the
Robert C. Byrd Corridor H Authority
said he is pleased with the announcement. Foster is also the director of the
Upshur Economic Development Authority and sits on the board of the
Hardwood Alliance Zone.
“You can’t overstate what the
completion of Corridor H will mean
to our region,” he said. “Corridor H
links I-79 to the junction of I-66 and I81 where the Virginia Inland Port is
located. This gives us direct access to
the port at Norfolk, where deep
draught ships coming through the
Panama Canal will anchor. This will
expand our exports.”
According to the Hardwood Alliance Zone, the economic impact for
that industry alone could amount to
$86 million annually.
The CHA has been working closely with the Hardwood Alliance Zone,
as well as the Rahall Transportation
Institute to seek funding to complete
the highway by 2020. The newly
formed authority met on Monday, July 18 for its annual meeting.
The authority was created by the
West Virginia Legislature to promote
the construction of a modern highway
through Lewis, Upshur, Barbour,
Randolph, Tucker, Grant and Hardy
counties.
Funding for the CHA is through
the West Virginia Department of
Commerce.
At the organizational meeting
held in June, the CHA learned there
is $2 billion of unspent ADHS funds
sitting in Appalachian states’ coffers.
If those states would agree to lend
West Virginia a portion of those
funds, Corridor H could be completed.
The CHA also learned that finishing the road by 2020 was feasible, according to WV Secretary of Transportation Paul Maddox.
“We are trying to bring this to the
attention of legislators who are not in
the Corridor H counties,” said Curtis
Wilkerson of Orion Strategies.
Orion Strategies was hired by the
Hardwood Alliance Zone to organize
a campaign to bring Corridor H to the
forefront of political discussion.
The consensus of the CHA was to
retain Orion Strategies pending any
requirements by the state for competitive bids for their services.
Wilkerson proposed a public education campaign consisting of radio,
TV and newspaper advertising, touting the economic development benefits of finishing Corridor H by 2020.
“There are three things we need to
focus on,” Wilkerson said. “Complete
the highway by 2020, the $2 billion of
unspent funds and the economic importance.”
Wilkerson also suggested the
CHA participate in several meetings
and summits scheduled in the near future.
“The Appalachian Regional Commission will be in West Virginia on
Aug. 19,” he said. “We have been invited to speak about Corridor H.
“There is a business summit
scheduled for Aug. 31 at the Greenbrier. We should have a booth
there.”

and are very safe,” Landes said.
There will be pit stops on every
route. The Mathias-Baker Rescue
Squad, the Maysville Volunteer Fire
Company and Fraley Ambulance
Company will have water, fruit and
snacks available for the cyclists. “Relay teams are welcome, but they are
responsible for their own transportation,” Landes said.
Walkers can walk around the
Moorefield Town Park, which is a
one-mile course. The total distance
between the Bingo Hall and the town
park and back is approximately two
miles.
“The basic premise is that you pay
to participate and then do whatever
you’re comfortable doing,” Landes
said.
If you don’t cycle or walk, there
will be plenty to do all day at the Bingo Hall.
“There will be live music all day,”
Landes said. “We’ll have Amanda
Barber and the Butter Goldizen
Band, the Country Boys, Next Exit
and N-2 Pickin.”
A Silent Auction, with more
goodies than you can imagine, will be
held from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. A preview of
auction items can be seen on FaceBook - type in Pedals for Paws - or at
the Shultz Realty office at 224 N.
Main St. in Moorefield.
There will be a Pet Photo Con-
test. Bring a hard-copy photo of your
pet to Shultz Realty, Monday
through Friday from 10 a.m. until 4
p.m. through Aug. 26.
At 9 a.m., 11:30 a.m. and 1:30
p.m. Agility 9 will demonstrate an
agility course for dogs.
At 9:30 and 11 a.m. Rambo the
Therapy Dog will provide a demonstration.
Folks will be able to get rabies
shots for their dogs or cats from 2 - 4
p.m. at a minimal cost.
“We will have a photographer to
take pictures of people and their
pets, or just their pets,” said Carolyn
Strickler, a member of PHAR.
Carolyn will also be cooking a
“delicious lunch” for sale, beginning
at 10 a.m. and continuing until the
food is gone.
PHAR is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing temporary food, shelter, medical attention
and comfort to neglected, homeless
and injured animals. The group restores lost animals to their owners,
seeks new homes for other abandoned animals and tries to education
the public about the humane care of
animals.
Carolyn and her daughter, Kriston have been working with PHAR
since 2000.
“I grew up on a farm, so we raised
everything,” Carolyn said. “I’ve always loved animals.”
PHAR was formed in 1993 and
has acted as the Hardy County Humane Office, simple because there is-
n’t one, Carolyn said.
James Grapes is the director of
PHAR.
“He and Jan Hawse are the backbone of PHAR,” Carolyn said. “They
go out in the field and pick up the animals. We just foster them.
“The county won’t support us
with funding, but the sheriff calls us
all the time to go and get abuse or
neglected animals,” she said. “One
time, we rescued 57 dogs from one
house.”
Since its inception, PHAR has
rescued more than 16,000 animals.
Most are dogs and cats, but there
have been horses, pigs, mules, turtles,
an iguana and a parakeet.
“We don’t have animals for adoption,” said Kriston. “We provide temporary foster homes until the animals
can be transported to a shelter where
they can be adopted.”
But every animal that PHAR
picks up has to have a health certificate and a rabies shot. Every dog gets
a rabies shot, flea and tick medicine
and wormed. “That’s a $50 minimum,” Kriston said.
With the help of a veterinarian in
Harrisonburg, PHAR takes dogs and
cats to be spayed and neutered for a
very nominal fee. “If we could just
get people to do this simple thing, we
wouldn’t have this problem,” Carolyn
said.
In addition, PHAR has instituted
a policy. If they are called to get puppies, they will only take them if the
adult dog’s owner agrees to get the
the lower level of the Harco Building.
Commission President J. Michael
Teets has suggested the county purchase the building to establish a Judicial Center. The building is 27,000
square feet and sits on an 8-acre
tract.
“I haven’t heard anything negative
about the idea,” Keplinger said. “In
light of the security issues as the courthouse, I think it’s a good idea.”
“If you look at what it would cost
to secure this building (the courthouse), you’re looking at a tremendous cost savings over the years,”
Teets said. “Some attorneys have expressed inconvenience because they
won’t be able to just walk to the courthouse.”
“I think the judicial center should
be within walking distance to the
courthouse,” Commissioner A. J.
Wade said. “It is two miles to the Harco Building from here. I think it’s
spending money we don’t have for
something we don’t need.”
Betsy Orndorff-Sayers, a visitor to
the commission meeting asked about
the structural integrity of the building.
“We had an engineer check it out
and he said it was in excellent shape,”
Teets said.
A judicial center must be within
the municipality of the county seat, so
the town of Moorefield would have to
annex the property.
Pedals for Paws to Benefit PHAR
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
Volunteers at the Potomac Highlands Animal Rescue work very hard
to care for lost, neglected and injured
animals and on Saturday, Aug. 27, a
group of cyclists is going to help
PHAR.
The Marge Wade Annual Memorial Bike/Walk Recreational Event
will this year benefit PHAR.
“Every year we pick a nonprofit
that serves the community,” said
Holly Landes of the Potomac Highlands Cyclists, organizers of the
event. “This year, we’re working with
PHAR. They provide a great service
to the community.”
Landes’ mother, Marge Wade,
passed away in 2006 from multiple
myloma. The event is to remember
and honor the commitment Wade
made to community involvement
throughout her life.
The day will begin with registration for cyclists at the Bingo Hall on
Jefferson Street in Moorefield between 8 and 9:30 a.m. “All rides and
walks begin and end at the Bingo
Hall,” Landes said.
This year there are several ways
to participate. Cyclists can chose between three routes based on ability
and level of fitness.
The 15-mile route begins at the
Puzzle
Bingo hall, follows US Route 220
South to Fisher Road, to Hutter
Road to Darlington School Road to
Rig Road and back to Route 220 to
the Bingo Hall.
The 30-mile route begins at the
Bingo Hall, follows US Route 220
North to Corridor H and follows the
new section from Moorefield to Knobley Road in Grant County and back
to the Bingo Hall.
The 40-mile route begins at the
Bingo Hall, follows old Route 55 to
North River Road, to Mt. Olive
Road, to Needmore Road to Lower
Pine Grove Road, to Upper Pine
Grove Road to old Route 55 and
back to the Bingo Hall.
“All routes have minimal traffic
Spanky
female spayed.
“That way we accomplish two
things,” Carolyn said. “We get the
puppies and we prevent the female
from getting pregnant again. Most of
these are chained dogs, so of course,
they’re going to get pregnant again if
the owner doesn’t do something.”
In addition to funds, PHAR could
use foster homes for large animals,
like horses and transportation to animal shelters outside the area.
“If someone with a van or truck
could take animals to Northern Virginia, Washington DC or Charles
Town, that would be a big help,” Carolyn said. “We also need more foster
homes.”
For information about PHAR or
to register for Pedals for Paws, visit
www.pharwv.org and print out a registration form. All cyclists must be 18
years or older.
The deadline to register and receive a free t-shirt is Friday, Aug. 5,
but registration will continue until
the morning of Aug. 27.
CVB Makes
Continued from page 1
The CVB is also working with
Hampshire, Grant, Mineral and
Pendleton counties to create a Civil
War Trail brochure and a motorcycle
tour brochure.
“There are a tremendous amount
of people who travel through Hardy
County,” Dillard said. “We would like
them to stop, spend the night and
spend some money.”
The CVB is also working on a
tourist attraction inventory. They
hired a part-time student from the
South Branch Career and Technical
Center. Brittney Steward is working
with Sirk to complete the inventory.
“We’re breaking the county up into one-mile squares and identifying
the places to do things,” Dillard said.
“There are so many different groups,
motorcyclists, people who do cemeteries, bird watchers. If we can identify places in Hardy County where people can do those things, we can create
a brochure and draw them here.”
“We figured out that many of the
events in Hardy County happen in the
summer and fall,” said Commissioner
William “JR” Keplinger, who sits on
the CVB Board. “We would like to
have something in the spring, perhaps
a bluegrass festival. We’re working
with the college (Eastern West Virginia Community and Technical College) to make that happen.”
Sirk said the CVB worked with
Lost River State Park on an open
house that was held Friday, July 22.
She also reported that Geocaching
was becoming a popular activity in the
county.
Geocaching is an activity where
participants use a GPS to hide and
seek containers. The containers hold
a log book where the finder can enter
the date they found the container. It is
estimated there are five million geocachers worldwide.
County
Coordinator
Rose
Helmick said the county recently received a grant to mark trails in the
Hardy County section of the George
Washington National Forest and
asked if a digital map could be included on the CVB website.
OEM/911 Center Report
Paul Lewis, director of the Hardy
County Office of Emergency Management and the 911 Center reported
he is still working to configure the 911
center antennas on Helmick Rock to
conform to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory quiet zone requirements.
Currently the county is permitted
125 mgW of broadcast space. The
NRAO in Green Bank is requesting
the county dial back to 13 mgW.
Lewis said Rohn Industries is evaluating the change in antennas as it relates to the stress level of the antenna
tower.
Lewis reported calls for service are
staying consistent. In June there were
828 calls for service. Of those, 592
were for law enforcement, 204 for
Emergency Medical Service and 32
for fire companies.
There were 831 calls for service in
May - 604 for law enforcement, 161
for EMS and 30 for fire.
“These were just calls that are set
out for response,” Lewis said. “The
dispatchers handle a number of other
calls that are just general in nature.”
Hardy County has applied for a
$5,000 grant to fund Community
Emergency Response Team training.

Lewis also applied for a $1 million
grant for a new 911 Center to be located in the same complex as the new
National Guard Moorefield Readiness Center. “This is a very competitive grant, but I should be hearing
something in the next few weeks,” he
said.
Lewis reported a few minor problems with the Day Report Center,
which is currently using offices in the
Haz-Mat Building. He is working with
DRC Director Cary Ours to overcome those issues.

State Champion Senior League Girls Headed to Florida Tournament
Story & Photos

Moorefield Examiner
Two teams in one county were woven
together in a championship battle with only one team crowned victorious last Monday during the Senior League State Championship for Little League held at the
Moorefield Town Park.
Hardy County’s Moorefield Senior
League Softball squad rallied to defeat
cross-county foe Scooby’s Angels of East
Hardy with a 6-3 victory in the West Virginia state tournament to earn a bid in the
Southeastern Regional tournament in Fort
Myers, Fla.
The winner of the regional will play in
the Senior League Softball World Series
held in Sussex, Del.
The state championship pitted the
Hardy County rivals in a war of softball,
battling for supremacy.
Moorefield hurler Taylor Zuber was
paired up against East Hardy slinger Jodie
Funkhouser as both teams struggled to get
the bats talking in the course of two innings
with nary a run plated and only three base
runners accounted for in the opening two
and a half frames.
Of the bats which connected in the first
two innings, only two were singles and
eight were collected for outs by the defenses.
Zuber notched three strikeouts over
two innings, while Funkhouser netted one.
Moorefield shortstop Beth Cook drew
a walk in the first inning, but couldn’t be
brought back home.
Casey Showman hit a two-out single in
the second inning for East Hardy.
Jade Foltz smashed a fly ball near the
line in right field and Moorefield’s McKenzie Weese made a diving catch to end the
inning.
In the second inning, Jayme Fraley hit a
single and later advanced to third base during a pick-off attempt from East Hardy
catcher Marilyn Cassell which sailed skyward past first baseman Casey Showman.

Moorefield Examiner
A total of 183 dedicated bicyclists didn’t let a heat index of 108
degrees stop them from pedaling a
total of 6,262 miles at the 3rd Annual Lost River Classic held Saturday,
July 23.
The race was sponsored by the
National Capital Velo Club and local sponsor Columbia Gas Transmissions. Vita Coca Coconut Water
and Clif Bar Energy Bars were
product sponsors.
Veteran riders Keck Baker (XO
Communications and Battley Keeping racers hydrated meant a quick grab at a bottle of water. After the race, there is only one way to really cool down.
Harley Davidson), Joe Dombrowski (Trek-Livestrong) and Jeremiah
Bishop (Cannondale Factory Racing) placed first, second and third,
respectively in the grueling Men’s
Pro 1-2-3 race. The 62-mile challenge meant the riders made six
trips around the 10-mile circuit.
There were 29 cyclists who started
the race.
It was a photo finish, with Baker
and Dombrowski leading the rest of
the pack from the start. It was only
a matter of determination that Baker’s wheel touched the finish line
first.
The course began on Route 259
in Lost River, turned right onto
Crab Run Road to Cullers Run
Road, right onto Jenkins Hollow
Road, right onto Howard’s Lick,
right onto Dispanet Road and back
to Route 259.
“It was too hard,” said Brigham
Lumm, a Category 2. “The heat was
bad enough, but the guys in the
group were a lot stronger than me.”
Lumm was one of four starters in
the Men’s 1-2-3 who did not finish.
Sara Clafferty, a Category 1 cyclist from Baltimore, finished 10th
in the Women’s 1-2-3.
“I drank a lot of water yesterday,” she said, when asked how she
dealt with the heat and humidity.
“Hydration happens the day before,

Stefan Yencha, chief referee,

“It was well-marked and well attended.”
The well-attended part was
thanks, in part, to the cancellation
of two other races for lack of prerace registrations.
“Our pre-registrations were

I’m just back from such a place
with indelible memories of a
magical experience that most of
my neighbors speed past on their
way to “adventure.” A faint
pioneer road offers a whisper of
a route for me and my dog. I
wonder whose wagon cut the
first ruts a hundred years ago.
Now, a low spot in the ridgeline
is all that marks the overgrown
route leading to a homestead
founded on hope, now
abandoned to the elements.
Tracks from mice to mule deer
spiced up my walk. Animals
accustomed to watching cars
whiz by are more accessible to an
on-foot camera or binocular
bearer. I tracked a lone raven
winging its way to a mate,
warmer climate, or rotting
carcass, who knows? The lone
pronghorn buck that rules this
patch of prairie nodded a
greeting before loping toward
the horizon. I heard a coyote’s
call and felt his gaze, making the
hair stand up on the back of my
neck.
A GPS ensures I find the truck at
the end of the day, and the
solitude guarantees I’ll return.
How about you?

With fishing season in full
swing, it’s a good time to
remember one of the prime
safety items for stream anglers:
a wading staff. Lovingly handmade, garage-sale ski pole,
collapsible high-tech model or

it is often the difference
between dry and drenched.

producing single for the lead and

throw home.
After a pop-up out, Katherine
Stickley hit a sacrifice grounder to
advance Regester.
Weese rocketed a shot to outfield for a RBI triple and Gilbert
followed with a RBi single to give
Moorefield a 6-3 advantage.
Showman hit a leadoff single to
start the seventh inning and Ashley
Wilkins came in as the pinch runner.
Cook threw a strikeout, before a
fielder’s choice hit by Jackie
Funkhouser notched out number
two at second base.
Jessica Collier drew a walk
which gave East Hardy two base
runners.
Cook threw a strikeout against
Jodie Funkhouser to end the game.
“We are very happy to represent
Hardy County in Florida. We want
to go down there to get some sun
and pick up wins too. We are
blessed with pitching which will
hopefully help us down the road.
Our hitting has been very good,”
Moorefield coach Julie Cook noted.

Cotillion Organization Looking
For Director in Hardy County
The National League of Junior
Cotillions, a program of etiquette,
character education, and social
dance training for middle and junior high school students, has announced plans to establish its National program in Hardy County.
Says Elizabeth Anne Winters,
NLJC National Director, “We will
be selecting a director for a local
chapter who will receive complete
training and an exclusive territory
for expansion.”
The organization currently has
directors operating hundreds of
chapters in 34 states.
“This program is making a positive impact on students across the
nation and we are delighted to
know that more young people in
this area will have the opportunity
for this vital training,” Winter said.
The program currently has active chapters statewide.
The purpose of the NLJC program is to give students instruction
and practice in the courtesies that
make life more pleasant for them
and those around them. Students
actively learn courtesies through a
creative method employing role
playing, skits, and games. Standard
ballroom and line dancing is taught
using nationally approved top 40
music.
In addition to the usual courtesies connected with dancing and etiquette, character instruction is also
provided regarding the following:
honor, respect, ethics, sportsmanship, acknowledgments of gifts, behavior at cultural and civic events,
correspondence, inter-action in
groups, introductions, paying and
receiving compliments, receiving
lines, table manners, instructional
dinners, electronic etiquette, cell
phone courtesy, and many other areas of social conduct.
The program, with headquarters
in Charlotte, North Carolina, was
established in 1979 and has licensed
local cotillions nationwide. The
cotillion includes monthly classes
plus a Holly Ball and Spring Ball,
and instructional three, five, and
seven course dinners.
“The program has met with
equal success in metropolitan areas
including Atlanta, Orlando, Minneapolis, Houston, and in small
communities across the country,”
Winter said. ”We believe it will be
an important addition to the training of young people in this area.”
Applications or nominations for
cotillion director are currently being received. For additional information call 1-800-633-7947, visit
