OPINION
The Bond Issue
On May 8, 2012, the citizens of Hardy County will go to
the polls to do several things. They will help choose individuals to run in the general election in November. They will
vote on an amendment to the West Virginia Constitution
repealing the two-term limitation for sheriffs. They will vote
on a $21.5 million dollar school bond issue.
All three aspects of the primary ballot are important, but
this week we’re writing about the bond issue.
A portion of Moorefield High School is 71 years old. In
people age, that’s not so bad, although we are pretty much
the same age as MHS and we can tell you that school needs
help, just like we do on some days.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt came to Moorefield in May of
1941 to dedicate the new high school. Since that time the
building has been home to thousands of students. It has survived all those students, a couple of floods, a fire which
destroyed the biology lab, and vandalism.
The old part of MHS could tell tales that some of us
wouldn’t want repeated. But that oldest part of the building
is not particularly safe. It needs more than a face lift, it needs
replacing. And that’s what part of the bond issue will do. The
money will be used to tear down and rebuild the 1941 section
of Moorefield High School with a structure that is safer,
cleaner, air conditioned and much more conducive to a
learning environment.
East Hardy High School, although much younger, has
structural problems and more space is needed. The cost for
the proposed addition and improvements at Baker will be
nearly half the total project.
The bond issue is set at $21.5 million which is half the total
project. With the anticipated grants from the SBA of an
additional $21.5 million, the total cost for the two school
projects is slightly over $43 million. That may sound like a lot
of money, but we are talking about our children’s education.
School bond issues are hot button topics. We have teachers who aren’t happy with their salaries. We have parents
who aren’t happy with the administration. We have citizens
who aren’t happy with paying more taxes. On the other hand,
we have children who are expected to learn in buildings with
water leaking through the walls and ceilings, peeling paint,
poor heating and no cooling, and sometimes a smell not
identifiable, but probably related to prior flooding events.
In the last three years Hardy County has lost a number of
jobs. One manufacturing plant has closed and another is
anticipated to close the end of April. So you say you can’t
afford to pay more taxes. We say you can’t afford not to.
If Hardy County is going to attract new businesses to the
area, we need to have good schools. If young families are
going to move to Hardy County, they want to know that their
children will have safe, modern facilities.
Passage of this school bond says we care. Passage says we
care enough to commit our hard-earned tax dollars to
improving our educational facilities. Passage says we care
enough to put aside our petty gripes and differences.
So what happens if we don’t pass the bond issue? The
buildings will continue to deteriorate. We will have to continue spending our tax dollars on band-aid repairs. And
there’s a good chance the state fire marshall will say the
schools are unfit and force us to find an alternative. No one
wants that to happen.
What we all do want is a quality education for our children. We want them to learn in an environment that doesn’t
detract them from learning. We want this county to entice
businesses to locate here and bring jobs.
Finally, we want the citizens of Hardy County to vote
“yes” for the bond issue.
MY UNBASED OPINION
I saw it wobble. Solid as a rock all
my life and most of Pap’s. He remembered it standing strong when he was
a boy on our farm.
A barn yard gate post. Red Cedar
heartwood, roughly ten inches in
diameter. I remember when twin
twelve foot gates swung from it.
Holes bored on various sides at various levels attest to numerous barnyard remodelings over at least a hundred years of service. Now gates are
hinged at far ends and bang against
it. A necklace of old stapled chains
hold them fast.
I shot a groundhog off its top one
time. Farm dog put him up there and
Pap’s old .22 rifle brought him down.
Thousands of old cows have
scratched their necks and butts on it.
Besides Big House, that old post is
oldest standing useful construction
on my farm.
But it wobbled. The other day I
straightened from latching pallet
forks to Kubota’s loader frame,
glanced down barn hill (no barn any
longer, but still the “barn hill”), saw
an old Hereford rubbing her neck up
and down and noticed post top moving against the background. I
dropped the loader, shut off Kubota,
walked down barn hill, laid right
hand on post and sure enough, I
could shake it. Never before. Always
solid, dependable.
Now weak
enough to be dangerous.
Men who build things wonder
how long they’ll last. In nearly sixty
years I’ve been working size and age,
I’ve helped build fences all over this
farm. Most fences now standing I
built myself. Doubt I’ve ever tamped
a post or stretched a wire that I didn’t

do it all again. Always the eternal

hope that “ it’ll last my life time and
then it’ll be somebody else’s worry”.
Pap, veterinarian, conducted
most private practice from his old
Studebaker cars on farm visits. He’d
come home from regular job at Reymann Memorial Farm, milk the cow,
eat supper and head off for Kimsey’s
Run or Rock Oak or Sauerkraut Hollow to tend ailing hogs, sheep or
cows. Invariably after particularly
good or bad experiences holding and
restraining animals, he’d comment
on handling facilities.
When his home place became
mine, I stopped raising hogs, which
needed feeding morning and
evening, sold the sheep flock, which
eliminated Mom’s temptation to
spend nights in the barn during lambing season, gave Marybelle, his milk
cow to neighbor, Tommy Rinard and
concentrated on raising beef cattle
which generally need less protection
and care.
Based on Paps comments, drawings in farm magazines and my old
agriculture text books, I built pens for
holding, sorting, and loading cattle.
New oak lumber, solid round or split
locust posts, heavy duty steel pipe
gates and pressure treated four by
four loading ramp floors handled
placid old Herefords handily.
Changes came. I sold myself out
of farming business. Tommy bought
my herd, rented my land and main-
tains them still. Attrition and purchase switched herd to Angus and
Angus/Hereford crosses, more efficient breeds perhaps, but generally a
little harder to hold and handle.
Age and more active animals
have taken their toll on my proud,
careful constructions. New higher,
stronger lumber fence panels and
pressure treated posts are replacing
old weathered, split and shaky. One
section of three posts holding boards
five high was replaced before work-
ing cattle last week. I’d seen that section flopping back and forth in high
wind this winter.
As I sat writing this column at Big
House’s front window, I saw Tommy
and his wife, Shirley drive in for a
morning inspection. I put on my
shoes, went out and caught him
before he left. My quiet request to
save Old Post for me when he
replaced it was met with a knowing
smile.

Back in 1967 Sen. Robert Byrd
was trying to get Congress to approve
an amendment to lower the retirement age for Social Security from 65
to 60 for those who wanted to retire
voluntarily. Byrd noted that citizens
didn’t age at the same rate while
some were able to work past 60. He
said the effects of aging and a lifetime of hard work was greater on
some. Those who continued to work
would benefit proportionately and
employers would have no new costs
for those who retired early. This said
by a man who continued to work in
the halls of the Senate for another 43
years.

CVB Gets Marketing Plan and
Recommendations from Consultant
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
•Trout Pond is the only natural
lake in the state of West Virginia.
•Lost River is already known
regionally as a tourist destination.
•The 150th anniversary of the
Battle of Moorefield will be in 2014.
•171 buildings in Moorefield are
included in the town’s Historic District.
Tourism consultant Gail Price has
spent the past year studying tourism
in Hardy County and discovered the
above, perhaps little-known facts.
Price presented a Situation
Analysis and Marketing Plan to the
Hardy County Convention and Visitors Bureau on Friday, March 16.
“We have waited a long time for
this,” said CVB President Judy Patterson. “This is a massive and marvelous work.”
The CVB was created three years
ago to take advantage of proceeds
from the hotel/motel tax collected in
the county. A percentage of the tax is
returned to the local CVB to further
promote tourism.
Price recommended the CVB
make use of the Internet and create a
dynamic web site to promote Hardy
County.
“The Internet is how people find
out about the area,” she said. “They
also use Facebook and Twitter. Keep
those things up to date. The best part
is, it’s free.”
Price said a tourism survey
revealed the busiest month for
tourism in Hardy County is October.
She recommended tourism packages
with itineraries.
“People want directions to activities and points of interest,” she said.
“Put together a driving itinerary, but
make sure someone has driven the
route.”
Some of the other recommendations Price presented included capitalizing on the three major festivals in
the county — the Fiber Festival, the
Poultry Festival and Heritage Weekend. “You already have the means to
draw people to the area three times a
year, spring, summer and fall,” she
said.
Price also suggested “hospitality
training” for the community. “When
people stop and ask for directions or
where is the best place to get lunch,
you want them to come away with a
positive experience,” she said.
The CVB should hire a full-time
person to staff the office. They
should monitor surrounding counties
and look for ways to partner with
them.
“I suggest you apply for a Scenic
By-Way designation,” Price said.
“Partner with Shenandoah County in
Virginia on a Route 11 or a Route 55
loop. If you work with another state,
it elevates your ability to get federal
grant funding.”
Price suggested the CVB seek
accreditation with the West Virginia
Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus. “It raises you to a
higher standard,” she said.
Contact travel writers and supply
them with familiarization tours, she
said. Make presentations to local and
regional groups, so they know what
resources exist in Hardy County.
Gather data, “from everyone who
steps through the door,” she said.
“Make sure everyone who visits gets
a survey and to make sure they fill it
out, tie it to a contest. Once a year
give away a weekend for two. It will
more than pay for itself.”
Board members indicated the
Wardensville Visitors Center was
already collecting data on visitors’
point of origin.
According to data from the West

WVU’s College of Business and
Economics released a report recently
which says the thoroughbred racing
industry has had an economic impact
of $191 million on Jefferson County.
Horse racing supported 1,450 jobs,
$36.3 million in wages, and $1.9 million in state taxes during 2010.
Researchers said the estimates are
conservative and don’t include the
operational impacts of the Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.
Nor do the numbers include money
visitors spend on racing, concessions,
hotel rooms, restaurants and gasoline.

AAA Fuel Gauge reported last
week that prices for a gallon of
unleaded regular gas increased 1.9
cents in West Virginia to $3.889.
Nationally the average price was
$3.846. In West Virginia prices
ranged from a high of $3.957 in
Clarksburg to a low of $3.821 in
Huntington. In Hardy County, the
Moorefield Sheetz joined Baker at
$3.99.

Mabel Lee Zirk Stanturf died on
Sunday, March 18, 2012, at Spring
Meadows from complications of
Alzheimer’s Disease.
She was born on September 18,
1927 in Moorefield, W. Va. to Grover

She was the ninth child of a family of ten children. Mabel grew up in
the town of Moorefield, W. Va. She

work for Social Security in downtown
Baltimore near what is now considered the Inner Harbor. She was
working there when she met the love
of her life, Jack Stanturf, on July 4,
1946. Upon meeting her, Jack said to
her “You’ve got muscles, let’s go rowing”. This courtship led to almost 50

Hearing Screening vs. Hearing Testing
When children start school, or
most preschool programs, it is typical
for their hearing to be screened. If they
do not pass the screening test they get
referred on for a complete hearing
test. So what’s the difference between
these two?
Hearing screening is a quick check
of a child’s hearing to see if it falls in
the normal range for the sounds that
are most important for speech. If a
child does not pass a screening test – it
does not mean that they have a hearing
problem. There are many reasons why
a child may not pass a screening test
other than having a hearing problem.
Some of these reasons may be: the
child did not understand the test
instructions, the test room was noisy or
contained distractions, the child was
not feeling well, etc. Screening tests
are designed so that, if the child passes
we can be reasonably certain that they
have normal hearing. If they do not
pass, it simply means that we need to
spend a little more time testing them to
see if they really do have a problem.
A diagnostic hearing test is
designed to determine how much hearing loss the child may have and what
type of loss it is. Testing is done by an
audiologist, who has extensive training
in performing evaluations. The test
environment is designed to be quiet
and free of outside distractions.
Different types of equipment are
available to test different aspects of the
hearing system. If the child is reasonably co-operative, the audiologist
should be able to determine if there is
a hearing problem present, how much
hearing loss there is, and what type of
loss. The type of loss would determine
the course of treatment necessary to
correct the problem.

Moorefield Middle School FFA Attends WVU’s
Performance Testing & Freeze Branding Workshop
On March 12, 2012, the Moorefield Middle FFA Chapter took 11 of
its FFA members to the WVU Reymann Memorial Farm at Wardensville to attend the WV Performance Testing and Freeze Branding
workshop. Dave Workman, WVU
Extension Agent in Hardy County,
spoke to the group about the importance of the cattle producer improving his/her herd through the use of
better genetics. The bulls on test at
the WVU farm are cosigned from
individual farms around the region
and are fed and tested over several
months. Many factors are measured
and are included in the bull being
selected as a bull to sell. The students discussed what one should look
for when choosing a bull for their
own herd.
The students then had the opportunity to freeze brand the emblem of
West Virginia on the right hip of the
bull. First the students had to clip the
hair from the area of the hip to be
branded. Next, using liquid nitrogen
and branding irons, the students had
to hold the WV emblem brand on
the animal for 45 seconds and then
place a number “2” on the hip under
the eastern panhandle of the WV
emblem for 45 seconds. The process
affects the pigment producing cells in
the hair follicle. The hair in this area
will continue to grow, but will be
white instead of color of the animals
hair. Every student took advantage of
the opportunity to freeze brand a
bull. Freeze branding the WV
emblem and the number “2” on the
animal shows that the bull successfully completed and passed all the
tests required during the performance test to qualify for the sale in
2012. These bulls will be heading for
cow herds here in WV and in many
other states as well.
The Moorefield Middle FFA
members attending the workshop
were: Trena Conner, Austin Duncan,
Adam Harper, Bryson Hedrick, Isaac
Hesse, Mitch Martin, Joseph Parker,
Serena Redman, Isaac Reel, Danny
Taylor and Logan Taylor.
The Moorefield Middle FFA and
the Moorefield High FFA would like
to thank Dave Workman, Andy
Walker, Brad Smith and WVU Farm
Manager Jerry Yates for their time in
allowing our students this unique
learning opportunity.

with the SADD logo and tied it to
each of the lockers. They worked
on this project when there was no
school and when the students came
back, they were ambushed by
SADD facts everywhere. They even
began seeing students putting the
ribbons on their backpacks and
other items.
The SADD students are hoping
to find more classmates to join
them in their efforts. The new
group is also exploring ways to get
support and funding from the community.
Founded as Students Against
Driving Drunk in 1981 in Wayland,
Massachusetts, SADD has grown
to become the nation’s premier
peer-led youth education and prevention organization, with 10,000
chapters in middle schools, high
schools, and colleges. In 1997, in
response to requests from SADD
students themselves, SADD
expanded its mission and now
sponsors chapters called Students
Against Destructive Decisions.

EHEMS Announces Fourth Six Weeks Honors
The faculty of East Hardy Early
Middle School announces students
that have received Superior Academic Achievement and Honor Roll
for the fourth six weeks grading
period.
Students at Moorefield Middle
School have joined SADD (Students Against Destructive Decisions), a peer leadership organization dedicated to preventing
destructive decisions, particularly
underage drinking, other drug use,
impaired driving, and teen violence
and suicide. Ethan Slack became
interested in forming a SADD
chapter, so Ethan enlisted the help
of his friends Donovan Wratchford,
Hunter Miller and Tim Luttrell to
ask Mr. Pat McGregor, Principal of
MMS to serve as the SADD advisor.
“Teens sometimes make poor
choices when it comes to drugs and
alcohol, without realizing the harmful consequences,” said Ethan “I’m
hoping our SADD chapter will be a
positive influence on our school
and community. We’ll be participating in campaigns and activities
throughout the school year to
spread our message.”
Their first campaign was a
locker ambush on all the sixth
grade students. They took a red ribbon, tied a SADD fact on it, along

I hope that no one will be
offended by the picture I’m sharing
this week. Yes, it is a privy, or more in
keeping with our South Branch Valley vocabulary—an outhouse. Where
did I discover this picture? It is
included in a website of The Library
of Congress called “American Memory,” and more specifically “Built in
America.”
In reading the history of the Historic American Buildings Survey
(HABS), it was begun “during the
Great Depression in December 1933,
when Charles E. Peterson of the
National Park Service submitted a
proposal for one thousand out-ofwork architects to spend ten weeks
documenting ‘America’s antique
buildings.’ Having operated under
various administrative authorities for
its first two years, HABS became a
permanent program of the National
Park Service in 1934 and was formally authorized by Congress as a
part of the Historic Sites Act of 1935.
The Historic American Engineering
Record (HAER) was founded in
1969 to parallel HABS, providing for
documentation of engineering works
and industrial sites. In October 2000,
the Historic American Landscape
Survey (HALS) was permanently
established to document historic
landscapes. The HABS/HAER/
HALS collections at the Library of
Congress have grown to constitute a
unique, valuable and extensive repository of knowledge about American
buildings, industries, engineering
works, and landscapes. Today’s documentation is produced primarily by
students pursuing degrees in architecture and in history, and the
HABS, HAER and HALS programs
have proven to be important training
ground for several generations of
architects, engineers, and historians.”
I thought it interesting for what it
includes, especially our outhouse.
Apparently there are ten “Item
Titles” included for “WEST VIRGINIA Hardy.” Nine of these focus
on “Wilkins Farm, South side of
Dove Hollow Road, 6000 feet east of
State Route 259, Lost River vicinity,
Hardy, WV.” The nine include
“Barn, Barn, Cemetery, House, Ice
House, Privy, Secondary Barn, Workshop-Storage Building,” and one
general view.

the tenth item selected from Hardy
County? Willow Wall. Photographers
credited for the series about Wilkins
Farm were Robert Hughes and
Emory Kemp and the photos were
taken just over twenty years ago—
November 30 and December 1,
1991.
Please rest assured that I am not
ridiculing either the collection or the
photograph. It just surprised me a little. I think I should also reprint the
official description included to properly document the photograph, in the
Notes:
“Survey number HABS WV-264F. Significance: A domestic outbuilding, this small wood frame structure
is constructed with mid 20th century
materials. In the absence of modern
flush toilets and running water, it was
necessary to construct pit toilets
referred to as privies. Apparently the
privy was used in 1976 when the
property was bought by the BDM
Corporation and turned into a hunting lodge. At that time some modernization took place, presumably
including the construction of a toilet
facility on the side porch of the farm
house.”
There you have it. Perhaps not
the greatest history that you’ll ever
read, but certainly significant to
many of us senior citizens. And who
would guess that our humble privy
would achieve such documentation
in our history.
I hope that it is not too inappropriate to include a few jottings from
other things I’ve been reading in the
past week. I’ve been reviewing a
great volume of local history entitled

tourism in Hardy County generated
$23.1 million in direct spending.
More than 300 jobs are related to
tourism and travel.
“This was a tremendous amount
of work,” Patterson said of the analysis and recommendations. “But it
lifted a tremendous burden. It tells us
we have a lot of tourism (opportunities), we should use them.”
Board members asked about the
viability of a train depot in Moorefield.
“You can use CVB grant funding
if the building is open to the public
and a Visitor’s Center is located
there,” she said. “You are already in
talks with the railroad authority and
that’s where you need to start.”

money, they waived any kind of confidentiality. I’m amazed at the sheer
arrogance of Chaney to question
making this public.”
Wade said Chaney, who was
introduced as the MBRS bookkeeper, said the statements were
exempt from state’s public document
laws.
“I understand the only exemptions are relative to trade secrets or
competition,” Wade said. “There are
certainly no trade secrets and there is
no competition. The areas of responsibility are clearly marked.”
Commission President J. Michael
Teets agreed. “When they accepted
$300,000 of taxpayers money, everyone in this county has a right to be
involved.”
All of the commissioners
expressed disappointment in the
February statement submitted. It
clearly showed more expenses than
income.
According to the statement, the
beginning balance was $27,433.19
and net income was $39,368.50.
Expenses for accounts payable,
payroll and a note payment totaled
$58,696.83, leaving a balance of
$8,104.68.
“I think it would be a good idea to
contact alternatives,” Wade said.
Keplinger continued to press for
utilizing local volunteers. “When
there was no service, the volunteers
in the community stepped up and
provided good service,” he said. “The
problem is not with the service, it’s a
cash flow problem.”
Keplinger was reminded that the
buildings and equipment owned by
the MBRS is mortgaged and if the
company closes its doors, the bank
will own them. “I’m sure we can work
something out with the bank,” he
said.
“The county commission has the
responsibility for providing service,”
Wade said.

Teets suggested the public hearing be held on April 17 at 9 a.m. and
the commissioners concurred.
Notices will be printed in the newspaper as required by law.
Forest Service Grants
County
Coordinator
Rose
Helmick announced a grant from the
U.S. Forestry Service for Secure
Rural Schools. The $70,054.73 grant,
proceeds from timbering in the
George Washington National Forest,
will go to the Hardy County Public
Schools.
The Hardy County Commission
voted several years ago that the funds
should go to the schools.
Commissioner Wade balked at a
grant from the Forest Service for
$21,500 for assistance from the
Hardy County Sheriff’s Office in
patrolling Wolf Gap, Trout Pond and
Squirrel Gap.
“We had this before and we
ended up tearing up our cars,” he
said. “It doesn’t even come close to
enough money.”
Sheriff Robert Ferrell said Hardy
County deputies would not be doing
any more patrols than they normally
do.
“The Forest Rangers are doing
the patrols,” he said “If they make an
arrest, the perpetrators can be
arraigned in our Magistrate Count
and the rangers don’t have to take
them to Richmond.
“If they need us they will call us. If
we go out, our expenses will be covered by this grant.”
Ferrell said Hardy County
deputies gain a great deal of experience working with federal officers.
“It’s always good to cooperate with
federal authorities,” he said.
Acceptance of the grant was
tabled until the next meeting so an
accurate agreement could be put in
writing.

Lee Lehman, Vice President Greg
Greenwalt and commission member
Roger Saville presented the commission with an update to the Improvement Location Permit Ordinance.
“We started working on this last
fall,” Lehman said. “We held a public
hearing on March 6 and nobody
came.”
Lehman said the “slight” changes
are to align the ILP with state code
and the county’s subdivision ordinance.
The commission is required by
code to hold a public hearing before
voting on the ordinance revision,
Greenwalt said.
“We made the fee structure more

Teets signed the agreement.
Lucas Gagnon and Steve Wilson,
representatives from the Moorefield
Hardy County Wastewater Authority
approached the commission to sign
an Agreement for the Transportation
and Treatment of Wastewater. “Since
the county is listed as a party on the
sewer project, we need your signature,” Gagnon said.
Wade questioned a series of emails from Pilgrim’s Pride, also a
party in the sewer project. The emails indicate Pilgrim’s would not
agree to a surety bond.
A surety bond would protect the
authority if Pilgrim’s were to go out
of business or leave the county.
“A surety bond is unobtainable,”
Gagnon said. “Pilgrim’s worked with

Community Corrections
Cary Ours, director of the South
Branch Valley Day Report Center
requested the commission continue
the Community Corrections Grant
for next year. The county’s match will
be $16,667 of a $115,000 grant.
Ours also requested the county
relieve the SBVDRC from paying
utilities at the HazMat Center, where
their offices are located.
Hardy is one of three counties
who participate in the SBVDRC.
Ours said Pendleton County provides
space and utilities at no charge.
Hampshire County helps with office
supplies and furniture.
Hardy County has been providing
space, but requested the SBVDRC
pay utilities and phone/DSL
expenses.
The commission agreed and
signed an Inter-County Agreement
with Pendleton and Hampshire
counties.

Absentee Ballots For Military
Voters Begins Primary Voting
Friday, March 23 is the deadline for county clerks to send previously requested absentee ballots
to military and overseas voters,
West Virginia Secretary of State
Natalie E. Tennant said today.
Military and overseas voters
have until May 2, 2012 to request
an absentee ballot.
West Virginia state code
requires the ballots be sent out 46
days before the election. West
Virginia code is stricter in this
regard than federal code, which
requires ballots be sent to absentee voters 45 days before an election.
Sending absentee ballots so far
ahead of Election Day ensures
that absentee voters — especially
deployed military, their families,
and other overseas citizens —
have time to mark his or her ballot, and that the ballot has the
opportunity to make it back to the
county clerk’s office in time to be
counted.
Voters who request an absentee ballot can track the status of
their ballot on the Secretary of
State’s website. After entering
their name and birthdate an
absentee voter can see when their
ballot request was received, when
their ballot was sent, and when
the voted ballot was received by
their county clerk.
A new law passed this year in
West Virginia allows voters covered under the Uniformed and
Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA) of 1986 to
register to vote in the 20 days
prior to an election. Other citizens not covered under this provision must register to vote by April
17, 2012 if they wish to vote in the
May primary.
Secretary Tennant also wanted
to remind some 17-year-olds that
they are eligible to vote in the primary.
“If you are 17 at the time of
the primary but will turn 18 by the
time of the general election on
November 6, you are eligible to
vote in the primary,” Secretary
Tennant said. “I urge all West Virginians, not just teenagers, to
make sure they are registered to
vote and know where their polling
place is.”
Early voting for the primary
election begins on April 25 and
ends on May 5. Voters can cast
their ballot at their county courthouse or courthouse annex during
regular business hours. Early voting will also be available on Saturday, April 28 and May 5. May 5 is
also the final day or early voting.
More information on the primary election can be found on the
Secretary of State’s website at
www.wvsos.com.

Arrows Fly in the Civic Center
Story & Photos
By Carl Holcomb
Moorefield WV
East Hardy Early Middle School Archery specialist Cheyenne
Herbrandt prepared to shoot an arrow at the 7th Annual State
Tournament in Charleston last Saturday.
There were more arrows than rain drops in
Charleston last Saturday.
The 7th Annual Archery in the Schools State
Archery Tournament was held in the Charleston
Civic Center with 50 schools participating and 65
divisional teams.
East Hardy Early Middle School sent its first
full archery team to the event in school history.
“We’re so happy to have all you guys here.
We are very excited about how many kids; we are
at 658 participating this year. We love the commitment, it’s just amazing when you can look
across this floor today and you see all the kids in
their team shirts very eager to get out here to
shoot,” DNR AIS Program Coordinator and
Public Information Specialist Krista Snodgrass
commented.
Last year, the Cougars sent seven individual
archers.
Three members of last season’s representatives returned this year: Cheyenne Herbrandt,
Dakota Zirkle, and Bryce Strawderman.
There were 65 divisional teams and 658
archers at the competition.
Every archer used five arrows for one practice round at 10 meters, five arrows for three
scoring rounds at 10 meters, plus the same at 15
meters.
There were approximately 30,000 arrows shot
at targets which were lined up along the floor.
This can be a very intimidating place to shoot
an arrow for the first time as EHEMS archers
stood among a line of 53 for flight A and 51 for
flight B taking aim at targets.
EHEMS placed 11th in the middle school
division out of 20 with a team score of 2,598.
“I am happy with how we did for our first
time here at the state tournament as a team. Perhaps someday we will be a Ripley,” EHEMS
Archery Coach Kathy Strawderman stated.
Ripley schools have consistently been in the
top tier of the competition and won top honors
in each division this year: Ripley High 3,369,
Jackettes Stuff Cougars
Ripley Middle 3,269, and Ripley Middle (Elementary)2,935.
Individual top three scores for the competition ranged from 266 (elementary girls) to 288
(middle boys).
The top high school shooters had 287.
This year the Archery in the Schools tournament setup like the national tournament with
alternating team members sharing targets in
addition to having the shooters pulling the
arrows.
Each school provided its own arrows for the
competition.
EHEMS donned pink archery shirts for the
state competition as voted on by the team.
“We got many compliments on those pink
shirts. One of the program directors said we
were the most noticeable group,” Coach Strawderman noted.
Bryce Strawderman led the Cougars with 266
points, which was a 50 point increase from his
2011 total.
Strawderman notched a team-best eight 10’s
and 11 9’s this year.
Strawderman was the only EHEMS member
needing new arrows during his flight.
The EHEMS record for points at 270 and
10’s (12) is held by current East Hardy freshman
Clarissa Thomas.
“I really liked the people at the state tournament. I had a good time there and it was fun to
shoot,” Bryce Strawderman said.
Dakota Zirkle improved 21 points from his
2011 total with 255 this year for second place on
the Cougars squad.
Zirkle shot four 10’s and 14-9’s.
Hanna Carpenter was the top female shooter
for EHEMS and third overall on the team with
245 points including three 10’s and a dozen 9’s.
Cheyenne Herbrandt was the second best
female shooter and placed fourth with a score of
236, which was a slight decrease from last season
(241).
Herbrandt notched three 10’s and eight 9’s.
Travis Wilkins placed fifth with a score of 234
including three 10’s and six 9’s.
Janelle Staggs contributed 223 points for
EHEMS with one perfect 10 and nine 9’s.
Rachel Wilson netted 213 points with two
10’s and three 9’s.
Abraham Dunsmore and Dakota Martin
both scored 212 points for eighth and ninth
places, respectively.
Dunsmore and Martin scored three 10’s
apiece, but Dunsmore took a slight edge 5-3 with
9’s.
Dylan Fogel shot 208 points with two 10’s and
six 9’s.
Amanda Pippin notched 163 points with
three 10’s and two 9’s.
Dylan Zirkle rounded out the scoring for
EHEMS with 131 points with three 10’s and two
9’s.
Lexi Strawderman was an alternate for the
Cougars.
EHEMS had respectable scores this year and
the future is bright for these target specialists.
The ride to Charleston was filled with fun
including songs as this sportswriter was a passenger with the Strawderman family along with
Dylan Fogel and Abraham Dunsmore.
East Hardy High School didn’t participate
this year, despite placing third the
past four consecutive seasons.
“It isn’t an archery tournament without
East Hardy,” DNR
Archery Program Assistant
Scott Warner noted.

Moorefield notched its third
consecutive shutout with a 3-0
blanking of cross-county rival East
Hardy last Tuesday night.
“We did the little things to win
tonight. We got key hits when we
needed them. It is always good to
get a win. Every time we play East
Hardy it is going to be a close game,
there is never a clear cut winner,”
Moorefield Coach Tim Crites
remarked.
The Lady Cougars never really
let Moorefield take the game away,
but couldn’t put anything into play
without the Yellow Jackettes making a stop.
“We didn’t hit the ball, plain and
simple. If we hit the ball next time,
then we will be fine,” East Hardy
Coach Calvin Mongold stated.
East Hardy has only struggled to
make contact against the Yellow
Jackettes in this young season thus
far.
Moorefield ace Danica Rogers
was the reason for the lack of hitting power by East Hardy with 64
strikes on 105 pitches during a com-
plete game outing.
Rogers notched a strikeout and
the defense took care of the next
two batters as Beth Cook fielded
hits by Autumn Mathias and Morgan Mongold to send Moorefield to
the plate.
In the bottom of the first inning
the Yellow Jackettes loaded the
bases against East Hardy pitcher
Jodie Funkhouser courtesy of a hit
batsman, a walk, then a two-out single by Taylor Zuber.
Katelynn Wills was patient at
the plate and gave Moorefield a 1-0
lead on a walk as Ashley Rexrode
scored.
In the third inning, Sarah Liller
singled and Jodie Funkhouser
moved her on a sacrifice bunt, and a
walk was issued to Rayann Foltz.
The Lady Cougars couldn’t produce a run.
Moorefield got a walk, then a
single by Beth Cook.
Zuber hit into a double play as
Morgan Mongold caught the line
drive hit and threw to third base for
the final out.
In the fourth inning, Marilyn
Cassell smashed a double into right
field, but was left stranded.
In the bottom half, Wills got
another walk, then after a ground-
out, Jayme Fraley singled.
McKenzie Weese executed a
perfect bunt to load the bases.
Rogers hit a sacrifice fly to plate
Rexrode who was running for Wills.
Michaela Regester hit a fly-out
to end the inning with Moorefield
leading 2-0.
Jodie Funkhouser and Rayann
Foltz both made two-out singles in
the fifth inning, but couldn’t be
brought home.
Zuber and Wills got things going
in the fifth inning with two singles.
Moorefield’s Kelsey Hines hit a
RBI double into left field, plating
Wills who slid underneath the
throw at home plate.
Cassell noticed Hines trying to
take third base and threw to Mathias for the last out.
East Hardy managed one base
runner over the last two inning via
walks, but nothing came to fruition.
Rogers threw three strikeouts in
the final inning to cap a 3-0 victory.
Moorefield improved to 3-0,
while East Hardy fell to 2-1.
This Hardy County Showdown
proved to be a battle and showed
the fans a glimpse of what may happen later in the season.
Hitting wasn’t an issue for East
Hardy or Petersburg last Wednesday during the Cougars’ 11-7 victory.
“When you score that many
runs, you are going to win some
games. We out-hit them, outscored
them. We held off the late rally, but
I’m glad it was only seven runs. It’s
good to get a win. They are not a
bad ball club. They are going to win
some games this year,” East Hardy
Coach Raymond Snapp commented.
In the first inning, after strikeout
by Petersburg Alex Eye, a walk was
issued to Jamie Miller.
Kollin Foltz stepped up to the
plate and smashed a RBI double,
then Tyler Mongold repeated that
feat.
Mongold moved to third on a
wild pitch and Shawn Skovron was
issued a walk.
An error created a third run for
the Cougars, then Justin Basye hit a
double.
The side was retired.
East Hardy’s Korey Foltz took
the mound and sandwiched two
strikeouts around a single and a flyout.
Korey Foltz was given a walk in
the second inning, then Miller singled.
Kollin Foltz hit into a fielder’s
choice which turned into a RBI as
his brother Korey crossed home
plate, but his fate at first base was
met with an out.
In other words, a sacrifice hit.
Petersburg stormed into the bottom of the second inning with a single and a double.
Ryan Colaw juiced the bases for
the Vikings on a little chopper
which fell just a short distance in
front of home plate.
East Hardy catcher Wyatt Basye
grabbed the ball and held the third
base runner at bay, but didn’t turn
in time to throw Colaw out.
Seth Thompson hit a sacrifice
fly, then Korey Foltz pitched out of
the jam with two strikeouts.
Justin Basye smashed a double
to the fence, but couldn’t be
East Hardy’s Korey Foltz focused on his wind-up and delivery from
the mound in Petersburg last Wednesday.
brought home in the third inning.
The Vikings loaded the bases in
the bottom half.
While the bases were loaded,
Seth Thompson showed enthusiasm and comic relief by uttering
several phrases including: three
trout in the hole (‘must have been a
small hole’ was hollered by a teammate), three ducks on the pond,
three birds in the nest, and three
turkeys on the roost.
Korey Foltz pitched out of trouble for the Cougars once again.
East Hardy led 4-1 entering the
fourth inning.
Korey Foltz hit double with one
out in the fourth inning and was
sent home on a RBI double by
Miller.
Kollin Foltz notched a RBI sin-
gle as Miller slid safely into home
plate.
Codie Rohrbaugh came in to
pitch for the Vikings
Tyler Mongold came in to pitch
in the bottom of the fourth inning,
garnering three pop outs and allowing one single to send the game to
the next frame.
Jesse Earle hit a RBI double in
the fifth inning for a 6-2 score.
East Hardy built a 10-2 advantage in the sixth inning with a four
run outing.
Seth Thompson came in to pitch
for Petersburg.
Cody Walker hit a single, but
was thrown out at third base.
Korey Foltz doubled, then
Kollin Foltz was walked.

This act of teamwork helped to
seal the victory.
“Obviously, that was a big defensive play there in the seventh
inning. Working on that cutoff
throw, Keller had a nice throw and
Starkey did a nice job blocking the
plate. That’s big,” Moorefield
Coach Wade Armentrout stated.
“There are a lot of different ways
we’ve been winning. This one was
making some key defensive plays
and getting enough runs to support
the pitchers.”
Moorefield has been a regular
member of the Ram Hardball Classic and won the championship in
2007.
Defense wins championships is a
mantra quite often used in sports
and the Yellow Jackets certainly
made the stops needed to advance
this year.
Moorefield advanced to the
championship game, but it wasn’t
held due to torrential rain.
In the first inning of the game
against East Rockingham, Moorefield got a one-out double by
Kolton Markwood which was followed by a single hit by Adam Snyder.
East Rockingham pitcher
Hunter Hensley kept trying to
throw Snyder out at first base, but

wasn’t fast enough.
Moorefield junior Garrett
Keller smashed a two-run producing RBI double for a 2-0 edge
entering the second inning.
Jared Kite was on the hill for
Moorefield and despite allowing
the bases to get juiced, escaped the
inning without a scratch at home
plate.
John Starkey hit a double for the
Yellow Jackets and DaShawn
Brown came in as a pinch runner.
Brown was caught in a rundown
along the third base line and
Moorefield failed to score.
Kite fanned two batters in the
third inning, but did allow a RBI
single by East Rockingham’s Travis
Lugar.
Kolton Markwood was hit by a
pitch, then was sent back to first on
a steal attempt as Snyder was sent
to the dugout on an interference
call as he stepped in the path of the
catcher’s throw.
Mikey Pultz garnered a RBI single to give Moorefield a 3-1 edge.
The Yellow Jackets padded the
lead in the fourth inning with three
runs.
Zach Laughlin and Kolton
Markwood both hit tow-out singles.
Snyder smashed a RBI double
which brought home both base runners.
Keller followed with a RBI single for a 6-1 lead.
“When we scored those runs,
that was a good inning where it
looked like we were executing well
offensively. We did a good job making contact and running the bases,”
Coach Armentrout noted.
East Rockingham notched a run
on a bases loaded walk in the fifth
inning while Dakota Vetter was
pitching for Moorefield.
Joseph Gooden knocked home
two runs with a RBI double to close
the gap 6-4.
Lance Taylor almost hit a home
run in center field, but it fell several
feet shy of the 360-foot wall.
“If we had the old bats, the way
it looked to me it would have
cleared,” Coach Armentrout said.
Adam Snyder came in as the
closer in the sixth inning and the
defense helped collect three outs.
The Eagles went to work in the
seventh inning as Ryan Kite hit a
single and was brought home on a
RBI single by Lugar which eluded a
dive by Snyder and skirted past
Kite.
After an error put Caleb Shiflett
on base, Starkey made the huge
stop at home plate on the single by
Gooden.
John Dofflemyer hit a ground
out as the game ended.
Moorefield (4-0) survived the
rally attempt with defense.
East Hardy Sinks
A fielder’s choice helped Mongold send one runner home while
getting to first base
Shawn Skovron was walked and
the last throw was in the dirt and
eluded the Vikings as Kollin Foltz
slid home.
After a walk to Justin Basye,
Ryan Colaw was sent to the mound
for Petersburg.
Wyatt Basye drew a bases
loaded walk for a run, then Cole
Collier plated another run on an
error.
Jamie Miller took his first trip to
the mound as the closer.
The Vikings’ bats started talking
with first base reach on an error
then a single.
During a walk, a past ball
occurred and Miller caught the
throw from Wyatt Basye and prevented a score.
A RBI double by Hunter
Warner plated two runs for a 10-4
score.
Petersburg notched two more
runs for a 10-6 score entering the
seventh inning including a RBI
triple by Eye.
East Hardy snatched one run
back in the seventh with a RBI single by Mongold.
Smith hit a leadoff double, but
Miller zeroed in and struck out the
next two batters.
“I was really surprised Jamie
gave up that many runs. It seemed
like everything they hit was in the
hole some place. It is always tough
your first day on the mound,”
Coach Snapp said.
Warner hit a RBI single, then
Korey Foltz fielded the last out.
East Hardy (2-0) had its next
game washed out on Saturday and
hosted Tygarts Valley yesterday.
East Hardy travels to Musselman tonight and visits Moorefield
on Friday.
The Cougars will be in the Central, Va. tournament this Saturday.

feel pretty confident in our situation,” East Hardy Coach Calvin
Mongold noted.
East Hardy (3-1) took a 2-0 lead
in the second inning on a past ball
and error which enabled Morgan
Basye and Sarah Liller to score.
Strasburg rallied in the bottom
half as Brittany Middleton and
Kierstyn Austin singled and Nicole
Killen hit a two-out RBI double off
of East Hardy pitcher Jodie
Funkhouser.
Strasburg took a 3-2 lead on a
two run producing RBI single by
Kasey Fauber.
The Lady Rams added another
run on an error to take a 4-2 edge
entering the third inning.
The Lady Cougars regained the
lead in the third inning with a seven
run outing against starting pitcher
Jordan Kump.
Rayann Foltz hit a leadoff dou-
ble, then Autumn Mathias singled
and advanced to second base on a
throw to third base which was
dropped.
East Hardy catcher Marilyn
Cassell connected for a three-run
home run and jump with excitement before reaching first base as
she saw it clear the fence to give the
Lady Cougars the lead.
This was Cassell’s first home
run.
“I have to get her the game
ball,” Coach Mongold stated.
Sarah Liller hit a two-out single,
then Casey Showman hit a RBI
double.
Jade Foltz singled on the next at
bat and Ruby Fridley hit a two run
RBI double for an 8-4 lead.
Rayann Foltz knocked in
another run for the Lady Cougars.
Strasburg got two of the runs
back in the bottom of the third
inning on a RBI double by Jordan
Kump which plated two runs.
East Hardy retired the side on a
double play by Morgan Mongold.
Morgan Basye sent Morgan
Mongold home with a RBI double
in the fourth inning.
Liller hit an inside-the-park
home run and garnered a RBI for a
12-6 advantage.
The Lady Cougars didn’t allow
any more runs by Strasburg.
Basye hit a two-run producing
single which was followed by a RBI
single from Liller for a 15-6 lead in
the fifth inning.
Jade Foltz hit a leadoff double in
the sixth inning.
Jackie Funkhouser pinch hit and
notched a RBI single.
The Lady Cougars loaded the
bases on two singles.
Cassell was called out on strikes
as the ball sailed inside and nearly
hit her elbow.
Cassell stood there puzzled and
was getting ready to swing thinking
the umpire was joking, but he was
serious.
Basye hit a two-out RBI double
bringing home two runs for an 18-6
score.
Liller hit a pop up and crashed
into first baseman as both were
dazed and an out was called
because of interference.
There was a long discussion to
the Strasburg team by coach
Suzanne Mathias after the game.
The Lady Cougars didn’t get to
play in the championship on Saturday due to rain.

Good Friday’s Full
Moon and Astronomy Day
By Bob Doyle
Special to Moorefield Examiner
Church.
Acturus.
By April 13, the moon has shrunk
to half full in the morning dawn sky.
On April 15, the planet Saturn is
closest and brightest to the Earth, rising as the sun sets and hanging in the
sky all night long. Saturn is then 811
million miles from the Earth, so far
that its light takes over an hour for its
reflected sunlight to reach Earth.
You need a telescopic magnification
about 50 times to see Saturn’s rings
clearly.
In the morning sky, the planet
Mercury is at its greatest angle from
the sun on April 18; it can be seen
low in the east a half hour before sunrise.
The moon passes north of the sun
on April 21. On April 23 in the western dusk, the crescent
moon appears to the
left of the Pleiades or
Seven Sisters star cluster. On April 24, the
moon appears below
and to the right of the
Venus. On April 29,
the evening moon
appears half full (like a
tilted D). Along the
moon’s straight or left
edge, the sun is rising,
catching the rim of
craters and mountain
peaks. On the evening before, amateur astronomy clubs around the
country host public telescope viewing
on Astronomy Day. On April 30, the
planet Venus is at its greatest brilliance in the western dusk, owing to
its distance from Earth and portion
of its lighted disk seen from Earth.
In April, the Frostburg State University Planetarium’s free public sky
show on the second floor of the
Compton Science Center is “Predators of the African Plains and Their
Skies,” which includes lions, leopards, hyenas and wild cats. Also

Reporter
ARKANSAW CEOS
Beatrice Bennett, Reporter
Four members attended the
meeting held on February 7 at the
Community Center. Minutes and
roll call were read by our secretary
Deloris Link and the treasurer
Catherine Smith read her report. A
motion was approved to send a
donation to the scholarship fund at
East Hardy High School.
Catherine Smith led the lesson
Connecting with Others Using the
Five Love Languages. She stressed
to improve connections with others
is to learn to love and appreciate
others in such a way that they can
receive it. Good tools were to call
someone and praise them for something they did for you, compliment
someone for gifts; a symbol of caring. Acts of service is another way
to touch someone or send a card or
do an act of service to someone.
Giving a person a hug or just touching them shows that you care. She
shared some Hersheys Kisses with
members in keeping with Valentine’s day, a day of love and keeping
in touch with one another.
Deloris Link gave a reading
called “Where Did the Pills Go?”
A bit of humor and also truth! Beatrice Bennett read the devotion entitled “Realistic Expectations” taken
from Christ in the Home.

West Virginia Pursues a Waiver

It is the right thing to do for students. That is how the West Virginia Department of Education is
describing its decision to file for a
Flexibility Waiver to No Child Left
Behind (NCLB).
The WVDE announced it will
seek a NCLB Flexibility Waiver.
The waiver will provide West Virginia with the flexibility needed as it
continues to implement the Next
Generation Content Standards and
Objectives, expand the Teacher
Evaluation Pilot and establish a
high-quality accountability system
that values individual student academic growth and supports schools.
“We spent a lot of time working
with our state Board of Education,
teachers, parents and other education experts to determine if filing
for the Flexibility Waiver to NCLB
was the right thing to do for students,” said state Superintendent of
Schools Jorea Marple. “Without a
waiver, West Virginia would be
forced to continue to identify
schools with inappropriate measures and labels. What we value in
our education system is personalized learning. In other words, learning that engages students whether
it’s the arts, world languages or
career technical education, just to
name a few. We also value student
academic growth.”
While the writers of the NCLB
had the right goals in mind, the
laws’ one-size-fits-all approach has
proven ineffective as a mechanism
for accountability and, as a result,
has discouraged state efforts to
improve student achievement and
make progress in education. For
example, NCLB provides too simplistic a view of whether schools are
meeting children’s needs. The way
that NCLB measures proficiency is
flawed because it fails to account
for meaningful progress. NCLB
evaluates schools based on whether
students meet proficiency without
regard to growth or improvement
from year to year.
West Virginia fully expects that
by 2014 no school in the state will
meet the stringent NCLB requirement and therefore be labeled a
failing school ultimately at risk of
losing much needed federal funding. In addition, the U.S. Department of Education has been very
clear that any state that does not
apply or receive a NCLB waiver will
be held fully accountable under
NCLB requirements.
“We are already beginning the
work to convene educators and
other stakeholders to develop the
components of the NCLB Flexibility Waiver and we expect to file the
waiver by Sept. 6, 2012,” added
Marple. “Filing for the waiver will
allow our state to continue its work
on crafting a thoughtful, fair and
constructive state accountability
system. In addition, we fully expect
our state’s waiver to align with our
state’s long-range education priorities and goals.”
The new accountability system
will
• focus on assessing both student learning and growth, as well as
the learning strategies employed in
schools;
• build capacity in schools and
districts to provide evidence of
improvement and engage parents
and communities as key stakeholders in the improvement process;
• provide differentiated identification and support systems; and
•implement
data-driven
changes in order to improve the
learning of all students.
In addition to filing for the Flexibility Request, the WVDE will
request from the federal government that the current NLCB Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) targets are frozen for one year so that
additional schools are not identified
as failing.

DEP’s Office of Oil and Gas Launches Horizontal Drilling Page
The Department of Environmental Protection’s Office of Oil and Gas
has launched a webpage that contains
information specifically related to
horizontal drilling as defined by the
Horizontal Drilling Act that was
passed by the state Legislature in
December.
As part of the Act, the Legislature
required the DEP to create the page
so citizens could obtain information
about the location of proposed horizontal wells and give them the opportunity to comment on those permit
applications.
Currently, the page offers links to
items that will be further developed as

citizens to submit or review comments
about specific permit applications, as
well as a link to a tool that helps them
find the location of a proposed well,
are included.
“The page will continue to grow
and change as more permit applications are submitted to the agency,”
said James Martin, Chief of the Office
of Oil and Gas. “Soon, after we populate the site with applications that
have been received, people will be
able to see a list with information such
