Planning Commission Tentatively
Approves Comprehensive Plan
By Bob Alcock
Special to Moorefield Examiner
Hardy County Planning Commissioners last Tuesday tentatively approved a new comprehensive plan for
the county. The 45-page document is
slated for one more read-through by
the commissioners at their Feb. 2
meeting.
The finance chapter of the current draft contains a recommendation that the county consider imposing impact fees on developers to help
pay for “off site capital improvements,” such as water and sewer extensions. In the past, the county
sought state and federal grants to pay
for water and sewer improvements.
“We have to look at what is good for
the county as a whole, not any particular individual,” said Planning Commissioner Tina Keplinger.
The draft plan also recommends
measures to improve recycling, establish setbacks for development
along Corridor H and deal with dilapidated structures.
County Planner Tom Widder intends to display maps showing current and future land use at the initial
public meetings to be held in Wardensville, Baker, Moorefield and
possibly other sites starting in late

County to Upgrade 911 System
The town of Moorefield is in the
process of acquiring equipment to replace their antiquated crime reporting
system. The Interact Public Safety
System is multi-faceted, allowing officers to receive dispatches directly to
their laptop computers, print out traffic citations on the spot, transfer reports electronically to the prosecutors
office and link to other jurisdictions.
The system has a $22,000 price tag
and the town has applied for a USDA
grant that will pay 15 percent of that
amount. There is also an annual maintenance fee of $1,450.
Lewis said he will apply for grant
funding to upgrade the county Sheriff
Department’s equipment, but additional information is required concerning the number of units needed.
There are also questions about who
will pay the annual maintenance fees.

20 inches of snow to everyone’s satisfaction. But some Moorefield residents came to the town council meeting on Jan. 5 to inquire about the
procedure for clearing streets in the
event of a major snowstorm.
Gary Drummond asked about the
status of Rohrbaugh Lane and Highland View Street.
“If the street is not dedicated to
the town, we don’t have a right-ofway,” said Mayor Gary Stalnaker.
“When we get off the town right-ofway, we have liability problems.
Those streets have been in limbo
since 2003.”
“We have plowed those streets in
the past,” said Councilwoman Carol
Zuber. “Some of those people are
not well and there were snow banks
left in front of their driveways.”
Councilman Charles Silliman said
it is up to the developer to turn the
streets over to the town. If it hasn’t
been done, it is up to the homeowners to pressure the developer to do
so.
Town Recorder Phyllis Sherman
said the streets must be up to town
standards before that can happen.
Debbie Hefner said that Morningside Drive has been plowed every
year but this year. “That street has
only elderly people on it,” she said.
Hefner also complained that
Jesse Beircamp, supervisor of the
Moorefield Street Department, used
foul language to her mother.
Biercamp said he was instructed
not to plow individuals’ driveways.
“There is a protocol that we use,” he
said.
Biercamp said the first priority is
hills, then the water plant, the town
offices and the sewer plant.
Silliman asked Biercamp if he
plowed the town offices before he
plowed Kuykendall Lane, the location of the Moorefield Fire Department.
“Yes,” Biercamp responded.
Silliman suggested the protocol
for snow plowing be reviewed.
Zuber apologized to the citizens
of Moorefield for the way the snow
was removed by town employees. She
also apologized on behalf of the town
for the foul language used by some of
its employees.

Community Wind Energy
Jobs Meeting Scheduled
Entry-level wind turbine service
technicians start at around $17 per
hour with comprehensive benefits included, according to wind energy experts and published help-wanted ads.
“We’ll talk about the kinds of
work experience or previous learning
folks should have for this training,”
Malcolm said, “and for those who
don’t already have it, how we can
help them get it.”
The college will provide free
snacks and beverages at the meeting.
“We’ll also offer a one-week introduction workshop to wind turbine
technology that will give folks a
chance to understand how a wind
farm operates and how a turbine
works, and to learn on-the-job OSHA safety principles and explore
tower-climbing techniques,” he noted.
If inclement weather forces cancellation of the informational meeting on Jan. 20, Eastern has set Jan. 28
as the rain date.

Editorial
Drug Disposal
A reminder from Grant Memorial Hospital urges everyone to dispose of outdated medications properly. The hospital suggests that one of your resolutions be just that: resolve to dispose of your meds the proper way.
Do not flush prescription drugs down the drain (or the toilet) unless the label specifically says it is safe to do so.
There are environmental concerns about flushing drugs
and the levels of drug residues found in streams and lakes
and community drinking supplies. Even though some drugs
are considered “safe” for flushing, there are those who recommend that all drugs to be disposed one of the following
ways:
Your pharmacy may have a drug take-back program, so
check with them about disposal.
If not, please comply with these instructions as recommended by the FDA.
• remove your prescription drugs from their original containers
• mix the drugs with an “undesirable” substance such as
cat litter or used coffee grounds
• put the mixture into a disposable container with a lid,
such as a cottage cheese tub, or into a bag which can be
sealed
• remove personal information on the empty container,
including the Rx number, or conceal it with a black marker
or duct tape, or scratch it off
• place the sealed container with the drug/litter mixture in
the trash with the empty containers
Why do all this? Old drugs sitting around can be dangerous. Children are always at risk with medications and sometimes older people forget that they aren’t supposed to take
that drug any more. And there’s always the possibility that
drugs become an enticement to people who shouldn’t have
them or who want to sell them.
Another reminder is that you should not give leftover
drugs to a friend or neighbor. Prescription drugs are often
chosen to fit in with other medications you might be taking.
If someone else takes your medication, this could be dangerous.
Finally, these suggestions also apply to over the counter
drugs. Don’t flush them, but do dispose of them properly.
If you have any questions, ask your pharmacist or go to the
FDA website at www.fda.gov.

MY UNBASED OPINION
A cold snowy windy winter. Snow
and ice frozen fast to fodder shocks
in the field behind our barn. A man,
a relative, knelt before opened bundles, shucking.
My Grandmother needed farm
help. My grandfather had died several years before. She cared for her
mother, my father and hired help
who worked our farm.
The distant relative, who shucked,
had family to work his Trout Run
Farm. He needed cash she’d pay for
his labor. She gave him room and
board as well.
Good dry hard yellow ears of
corn. Stripped of their husks, piled
nearby, some ears resembled indian
corn. Here and there a few red kernels. Pap’s closer inspection found
the red kernels wet. Blood.
Shucker’s hands were cold,
cracked and leaking. Salve my
grandmother had given him soon
wore away. Cold dry frozen fodder
and rough ears were a terrible test for
any man. Mr. Heishman persisted.

most like spring. A Sunday. Though
my grandmother might have quibbled a bit, my great grandmother,
most called Missy, wouldn’t.
Missy never allowed work beyond
simple livestock feeding on the Sabbath. On that day of rest, the shucker disappeared. On such a pretty
day, Pap, then a small boy, went wandering. Off to play among standing
fodder teepees, he heard muttering.
Mr. Heishman sat upon last bundles he’d thrown down to shuck next
day. In bright warm sun he sat, shaking head hanging, forearms resting
on knees, hands hanging limp between his legs. “What a beautiful day
to shuck corn.” “What a beautiful
day to shuck corn.” Pap turned and
left him to it.
Thirty-five to forty years later:
Circuitous paths between growing
drifts. A blizzard. High wind piled
several inches of light snow in odd
places. In lee of fences and buildings,
under cut banks, behind trees. Every
obstacle caused eddy in the wind
dropped smooth swirls of piled
packed drifts. Airborne snow left no
more visibility than dense fog, perhaps less.
From Big House we couldn’t have
seen or heard traffic passing one hundred yards away, even if it were. It
wasn’t. Drifts closed road cuts at
Warden Lake Road and at the State
Farm line North of our farm. They’d
need blowers to open them later.
Water. First chore. Well watered
livestock can handle cold, wind and
snow. Pap did heavy shoveling. I followed and kept single width paths
from drifting shut again. Paths
through drifts to outdoor water tubs
for sheep. Cows fought their own
ways through drifts. A great drift
around a hog house blocked the sow
with new pigs from her trough. We
shoveled her out to a meal of warm
ground feed slop and ear corn. Her
pigs left in a small pink pile while she
ate.
Feed. Same paths that served for
water carrying and access, served for
feed. We carried grain feeder
troughs from upper barn yard to inside large stable for sheep. They
protested when we ran them out into
the cold until troughs were filled.
They darn near tore the door down
when it opened to their ground corn
and soy bean meal.
Pap and mom feared becoming
disoriented in blinding blowing snow
crossing open fields to feed cattle
across the road. I remember Pap
telling Mom to call the state farm for
help if he wasn’t back in an hour and
a half. He made it following fences,
dragging himself through drifts with
aid of the woven wire.
Second day, farm help, Bob Peyton walked to work roundabout drifted areas. Pap walked across fields
blown clear of snow to work at Reymann Memorial Farm. I settled in to
keeping wood boxes full and reading
one of the books Mom had given me
for Christmas.

EXAMINER SAYS

We forgot to mention a newsworthy event in December. Our neighbors at the Hampshire Review, Charlie and Sally See, have taken on new
responsibilities as newspaper publishers. They bought the Charles
Town Spirit of Jefferson Farmer’s
Advocate, effective the first of the
year. Son Craig See will be the man
on the scene in Charles Town. Both
weekly papers have long histories in
the Eastern Panhandle.
The Spirit of Jefferson dates back
to 1844 (one year prior to Moorefield’s first paper). Its most recent
owner was Edward “Pat” Dockney
who purchased the paper in 1997.
Pat just completed a year as the WV
Press Association president. We
hope he will continue to be part of
the Press Association scene as have
other former presidents and publishers even though they no longer active
in the day to day newspaper business.
The Review traces its history to
around the mid-1880s, but because at
some point it purchased the South
Branch Intelligencer they can claim
to date back to 1829.
Interesting aside here, is that the
Intelligencer was published originally
for both Hampshire and Hardy counties which ties us to a bit of that ancient publishing history as well.
Anyway, the Sees have a long
family connection to publishing in
Hampshire County. Sally’s father
was John C. Ailes, the former owner
and publisher of the Review. And
her great-grandfather was John
Cornwell who bought the Review in
the 1880s and was later the 15th governor of West Virginia.
We’re sorry to see Pat leave the
Spirit of Jefferson, but we are delighted that publication is to be taken
over by the Sees and will remain an
independent family newspaper.
The federal government just
spent half a million dollars to convince itself that wind farms won’t affect nearby property values. The only problem is that some communities
facing the potential construction of
the giant turbines near them still
aren’t convinced. Most of us know
that statistics can prove just about
anything we want, particularly when
coming from the government. One
concern is that the study was done
over the past three years when the
housing bubble had to have had an
affect on home prices. There’s no
mention of how that was factored into the results.
dom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high
plane of dignity and discipline.”
Dr. King pursued his “Dream” by
avoiding extreme or radical actions,
especially violence. “The ultimate
weakness of violence,” he explained,
“is that it is a descending spiral.... Instead of diminishing evil, it multiplies
it.” “Darkness cannot drive out
darkness; only light can do that,” he
said.
Such an approach to the hostile
opposition he was encountering
might seem naive, or even foolish,
but Dr. King was neither. While an
idealist, he was an idealist without illusion. He knew the path he had
chosen would be rough and tumultuous. But, as he said: “Even though
we face difficulties of today and to-
morrow, I still have a Dream.”
Martin Luther King’s efforts resulted in the most important and
sweeping social transformations in
American history, and he did it without firing a shot!
For his efforts, Dr. King was
awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. A
national holiday was established in
his honor and soon a monument will
be constructed on the National Mall
in his honor.
We should all heed the wisdom
of Dr. King to “conduct our struggle[s] on the high plane of dignity and
discipline.” Given the heated political climate of today, adhering to
these words would be a true testament to the life of this great American.

BYRD’S EYE VIEW
In his pursuit of equality for
African Americans and the social
and economic rights of all people, the
Reverend, Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr., was the supreme instigator of
change. Because of his refusal to
obey unjust laws, and his ability to stir
things up, he was, as I said at the
time, a “rabble rouser.” No person
could enter a town, stage an event, or
create more upheaval than he
could. Nothing he touched was ever
the same again. And because of that
America is a better country.
But Dr. King’s incredible efforts
came at an enormous personal
price. Crosses were burned on his
yard. His home was bombed. His
phone lines were tapped by the U.S.
government.
He was kicked,
punched, and stabbed. He was
mocked and ridiculed, and thrown

What was truly inspirational was
the way that this man of God answered his critics and their abuse.
“Don’t ever let anyone pull you so
low as to hate them,” he told his followers. “We must have compassion
and understanding for those who
hate us.”
In his powerful “I Have A

Chamber of Commerce to Honor Williams,
Funkhouser, Johnson, Heishmans at Dinner
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
“We feel like we’ve accomplished
a lot of things and we feel we can celebrate and be proud of those accomplishments,” said Hardy County
Chamber of Commerce Don Baker.
The Hardy County Chamber of
Commerce will host its inaugural Annual Meeting and Dinner Wednesday, Jan. 27 beginning at 5:30 p.m. at
the South Branch Inn in Moorefield.
The event will be a recognition of local business and community achievements.
Moorefield native and West Virginia University football star Reed
Williams will be honored with the
Community Service Award.
“The chamber felt that in the last
several years, Reed has brought more
positive recognition to Hardy County
and Moorefield than anyone else,”
Baker said. “His record as a scholar
and an athlete is a great representation of our community.”
Williams graduated from Moorefield High School in 2004. He was
class Valedictorian and National
Honor Society member.
He graduated from West Virginia
University in December 2008 with a
degree in finance. While at WVU he
was on the Dean’s List and Athletic
Director’s Honor Roll. He was
named a Big East Academic All Star
and was chosen for the ESPN Academic All-American Team in 2007
and 2009.
He played in the 2006 Sugar
Bowl, 2007 Gator Bowl, 2008 Fiesta
Bowl - where he was named Defensive MVP, and the 2009 Gator Bowl.
Reed is the son of Jackie and
Robbie Williams of Moorefield.
Reed Williams will be honored
with the Community Service
Award.
Gary Johnson, chief executive officer of the E. A. Hawse Health Center is the 2009 Business Person of the
Year.
Johnson grew up in north central
Pennsylvania. He graduated from
U.S. Army Defense Mapping School
in Ft. Belvoir, Va. in 1974 and Mansfield University in 1984. His career
has been a colorful one, with stops
with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and his own landscaping business. He has lived in four states and
moved to West Virginia in 1995. He
arrived in Hardy County in 2002.
“I was originally hired as a consultant at the E. A. Hawse Health
Center, but in 2003 the board of director hired me as the chief executive
officer,” Johnson said.
When Johnson arrived, the E. A.
Hawse Health Center had an operating budget of less than $1 million. Today, that budget is almost $10 million. “I have a reputation as a turn-

around specialist in Community
Health Care centers,” he said.
“I’ve been fortunate to have had
more successes than failures, but I’ve
always learned from those failures.”
When asked to give advice to future health care administrators,
Johnson said, “Be willing to take
risks with a well-thought-out plan.”
The key to success? “Understand
the needs of the community,” he
said.
Jill Funkhouser couldn’t agree
more. “It takes time to learn the
needs of the community, so you have
to be patient,” she said.
Funkhouser, owner of All
Through the House, is the Chamber’s 2009 Entrepreneur of the Year.
Funkhouser grew up in Moorefield and wanted to return to her
hometown. “I needed to make a living and I needed a creative outlet,”
she said.
She opened All Through the

The eclectic shop is a showplace
of early American furniture and accessories all of which are made in
America and some of which are
made locally.
Owning a small business is “not
for the faint of heart,” she said.
“There are growing pains. You have
to be flexible and think outside the
box. You have to adjust your inventory based on the market demand, so
you have to learn what to buy and
how much.”
For example, Funkhouser has
moved from larger furniture to smaller gift items. She has also made special arrangements to reduce her delivery costs.
Funkhouser has learned that
there are rewards in addition to the
financial ones.
“I’ve met a lot of wonderful people,” she said. “Some of them are

Parsons Is Candidate for Circuit Court Judge
As a result of recent legislation,
there are now two Circuit Judges for
the 22nd Judicial Circuit, consisting
of Hampshire, Hardy and Pendleton
Counties.
Judge Donald H. Cookman was
elected in 2008 and his term extends
until 2016. The second Circuit Judge
will be elected in November of this
year.
Charles E. Parsons of Romney
has announced that he is a candidate
for this new judicial position.
A 1976 graduate of the West Virginia College of Law he has been
elected twice as a Family Court
Judge, most recently in 2008. He was
involved in a successful law practice
with the firm of Thompson & Parsons before assuming the Bench.
While managing a current docket
in a district consisting of 65,000 people, he has presided over more than
20,000 cases. Respected by his peers,
Judge Parsons was rated first in a Judicial Qualification Poll.
He graduated from West Virginia
University Magna Cum Laude with a
Bachelor of Arts degree in 1969, and
shortly thereafter he was placed on
active duty with the United States
Army, where he was selected as honor graduate of leadership school, as
well as the outstanding soldier of his
unit.
Judge Parsons has been married
to Elizabeth (Beth) Parsons, a retired
teacher, for 31 years, and they have
three children, as well as two grandchildren.
Thoroughly engaged both in and
out of the courtroom, Judge Parsons
brings common sense, experience
and an even-handed approach to the
position of Circuit Court Judge.
have returned.
“I’ve developed a special relationship with my suppliers. They’re small
businesses too, and so we feel like
we’re all in this together. When I’m
successful, that means others are successful too.”
The support from other small
business owners in the county has
been invaluable, Funkhouser said.
“Libby at Antiques, Etc., Tony at
Tony’s Flea Market and Bob and
Dave at the Guest House have all
been helpful. We send customers to
each other.”
Phoebe Fisher Heishman is the
expert at making local connections.
She and husband, David, both Hardy
County natives, share the responsibilities of publishing and distributing
the county’s only newspaper.
The Moorefield Examiner is the
Chamber’s 2009 Business of the
Year.
The Examiner’s predecessor was
first published in 1845. The weekly
has
been
in
the
McCoy/Fisher/Heishman family since
1902. Phoebe took over as editor and
publisher in 1969, following the
death of her father.
“I gave myself five years,” she
said. “After five years, I was still having a good time, so I stayed.”
“The Moorefield Examiner is the
only newspaper in the world whose
only focus is Hardy County,” Phoebe
said. “There are daily newspapers on
the fringes of the county, that cover
some news in Hardy County, but the
Examiner’s only concern is what affects this county.”
The Examiner has gone from
hand-set printing, to hot metal printing, to cold type and finally desktop
publishing. Until 1974, the newspa-
per was printed in Moorefield.
David attributes the flood of 1985
with propelling the Examiner into
desktop publishing.
“It was a gamble, really,” he said.
“After the flood, while our equipment was still operational, it was getting old and we knew we were about
to incur a substantial equipment upgrade. With the financial drain
caused by the flood, I didn’t think
we’d survive.
“Coincidentally, the West Virginia Press Association was presenting a demonstration in Charleston.
We drove down and Phoebe sat in
front of one of the old, little Macs
and fell in love with it.”
The Examiner employs 12 fulltime and six part-time people.
The secret to success, Phoebe
said, “We try to provide what readers
want and we carefully watch our expenses.
“I’m very proud that in my lifetime, we have never missed a publication. We’ve had some rough patches,
but this paper is so much a part of
me, my family and this community,
there has never been any thought
about shutting down the Moorefield
Examiner.
“When people stop you on the
street or at the grocery store and say
they liked David’s column, or the editorial I wrote, or the news coverage
we had or they loved their ad, that’s
what makes it worthwhile.”
Commerce Annual Meeting and
Dinner will be catered by the Lost
River Grill. There are still tickets
available. Call the chamber office at
304-530-1786.
Special Board of Ed
Meetings Scheduled
Charles E. Parsons

JAMES R. “JIMMY” DYER
There’s a legend of a teardrop
That rolled down a cheek one day,
And it fell upon a tombstone
Where a wife had gone to pray.
It sparkled like a diamond
As it ventured toward the sod,
And its brilliance was so startling
That it caught the eye of God.
That teardrop — born of sorrow —
For a husband who had died
Was shed in grief and sadness
By the wife who cried.
But it had special meaning
To the Father up above,
Because that teardrop was just loaded
With a dear wife’s love.
In its loving, sparkling brilliance
God recalled that teardrop home,
And he showed it to the husband
Who no more on earth would roam.
Then God took that brilliant teardrop
Shed in love on earth afar,
And He placed it in the heavens
With his brightest morning star.
When I look into the heavens
Where ten million stars are spread —
I see a lovely teardrop
That in sorrow — I shed.
LOVE AND MISS YOU

Pilgrim’s Pride Announces First
Phase of Integration With JBS USA
Pilgrim’s Pride Corp. announced
the elimination of approximately 230
corporate and administrative positions across the organization under
the first phase of its integration with
JBS USA, which acquired majority
control of Pilgrim’s Pride on Dec. 28,
2009.
Approximately 160 of the primarily salaried and salaried non-exempt
positions being eliminated are based
at the company’s headquarters in
Pittsburg, Texas, or in nearby Mt.
Pleasant, Texas. The remaining positions that are being eliminated are
spread over nearly a dozen other
sites, including Atlanta, Dallas and

Lost River Brewing Company Opens
Broadway, Va. The company will
provide severance benefits, including
outplacement assistance, to affected
salaried and salaried non-exempt
employees. There is no direct impact
on Pilgrim’s Pride’s operations or
production, as none of the positions
being eliminated are production-related.
In addition, the company said it is
moving forward with plans to consolidate most corporate functions at
JBS USA’s headquarters in Greeley,
Co. Both companies are continuing
to evaluate the needs of their organizations and expect to finalize consolidation plans within the next three to
six months.
“We know that these layoffs will
create pain and uncertainty for those
employees whose jobs were eliminated today,” said Don Jackson, Pilgrim’s Pride president and chief executive officer. “Decisions like this are
always very difficult because they affect the lives of employees who have
contributed so much to our company
over the years, including during our
recent reorganization. At the same
time, these changes are absolutely
necessary in order to realize the full
benefits of our integration into JBS.”

Hardy Telecommunications is offering local students the opportunity
of a lifetime by sponsoring a free
four-day trip to our nation’s capital,
during which the students will meet
peers from all over the United States.
One junior each from Moorefield
and East Hardy high schools will be
selected to attend the 2010 Foundation for Rural Service Youth Tour in
Washington, D.C., June 5-9. The trip
includes sightseeing as well as educational sessions to teach today’s youth
about the telecommunications industry. Hardy Telecommunications will
pay all basic expenses, including travel.
The Youth Tour provides students
from rural areas with a first-hand
look at the telecommunications industry, and educates students about
the legislative and governmental
processes.
Students will visit the U.S. Capitol
Building and hear presentations
from representatives of Capitol Hill
and the Federal Communications
Commission.
“Aside from the sightseeing and
educational opportunities, one of the
main benefits is getting the chance to
meet so many people from around
the country,” said Hardy Marketing/Human Resource Director
Derek Barr, who also serves as a
chaperone for the event. “All of the
students are sponsored by their local
rural telephone companies, so most
come from small towns just like we
have in Hardy County. In many cases
the students make lifelong friendships; I’m still in touch on Facebook
with several students from past
tours.”
This year’s preliminary agenda includes visits to the U.S. Capitol, the
Lincoln Memorial, the World War II
Memorial, Mount Vernon home of
George Washington, the Jefferson
Memorial, the Vietnam War Memorial, the Smithsonian Museums, the
Korean War Memorial, and Arlington National Cemetery. A night tour
of Washington and special entertainment are also planned, including a
dance the final night complete with
professional DJ.
Because of the widespread interest in the tour from students around
the country, Hardy can only sponsor
one student from Moorefield High
and one from East Hardy High. Applications for the tour may be picked
up from the guidance counselors at
both high schools or by contacting
Derek Barr at Hardy’s Lost River Office, telephone 304-897-9911.
To be eligible for the trip, students
must be high school juniors of the
2011 graduating class and be either
16 or 17 years old at the time of the
tour. Students must also receive
service from either Hardy Telecommunications or HardyNet.
The deadline to return applications is Feb. 12, 2010. Applications
may be returned to either the high
school guidance counselors or directly to Derek Barr, Marketing/Human
Resource Director, Hardy Telecommunications, 2255 Kimseys Run
Road, Lost River, WV 26810.
Applications Available for WV Make It Shine Statewide Cleanup
Applications are now available
for the 2010 WV Make It Shine
Statewide Cleanup. This annual
event is jointly sponsored by the Department of Environmental Protection and the Division of Highways.
The application deadline for those
wishing to participate is Feb. 15, This
cleanup is project oriented and can
take place any time from April 5 until April 18, 2010.
During these two weeks in April,
the WV Make It Shine program will
provide resources such as cleanup
materials, waste hauling and landfill
fees to community groups volunteering to conduct litter cleanups on
streams or public lands.
More than 3,000 West Virginia
citizens participated in last year’s
statewide cleanup, removing more
than 150 tons of litter and more than
4,000 tires from our state’s landscape.
Applications for this year’s
cleanup may be obtained by contacting Ginny DiFrancesco at the WV
DEP office in Romney at 304-8227266 or by email at [email protected] or by calling Travis Cooper of the WV Make It
Shine Program at 1-800-322-5530, or

THE HARDY HERITAGE
I thought it appropriate to include a famous photograph of an engine and log cars on the South Fork
Lumber Company. With the information I provided last week about
another lumber company at McNeill,
and the operation of the tannery and
its extensive harvesting of bark for its
operation, many might not realize
the huge economic impact the forests
have had on the history and development of Hardy County. This particular line operated along the South
Fork into Pendleton County. I continue to research topics related to
this company, Natwick’s and the mahogany plant to provide greater understanding into this topic, but our
forests continue to be a foundational
industry for this area.
Last week I began a discussion
about legal documents which I hold
which deal with the operation of the
Moorefield tannery. Although fascinating to me, I know that these would
not hold much interest for the casual
reader of this column, but this week I
want to add a few details of another
tract simply because of the scope of
the document, called in legal parlance, an abstract.
It has not been my privilege to become acquainted with the Stump
family of the South Fork. I know
that their family history in the area is
extensive, and they were among the
earliest settler in that locality. I also
have regard for their using the old
German spelling on a road sign near
their home which proclaims the family name as “Stumpf.”
This abstract may well be a part of
their history, but if they lack a copy of
this document, the one that I hold
will be theirs for the asking.
The ancestor in question is one
William B. Stump, with other family
members listed. What caught my
immediate attention was that the abstract begins by citing one tract of
land containing 10,083 acres lying
East of the South Fork and one tract
containing abut 1,717 acres, lying
West of said Fork.
Throughout this document are
clues to earlier ownership, with designations like “Jonas Green Land”,
“Green and Flemming Land”, 125
acres from “Ketterman”, “Bonnet
Land”, “Sugar Island”, and some-
BY
HAROLD D.
GARBER
thing likely misspelled “Break Mill
Seat” which is likely Brake Mill Seat.
To place some of these lands historically, the document tries to trace
the history of ownership of various
tracts. For example, the Green and
Flemming Land is supposedly tied to
Benjamin Chambers. Benjamin
Chambers is not a household word to
many, but to researchers it is
renown. They use the word “patent”
and say that part of the land in this
abstract goes back to a Chambers
patent of 1795 which contained
46,783 acres.
They trace this from Chambers to
Jacob Conklin and others in 1796.
Then in 1798 title changed to Josiah
Masters. Then in 1799 ownership
changed to one John Atkinson.
I must interject here that this was
the era of land speculation, with no
less than our first President, George
Washington, engaging in the practice. But as Washington farmed his
Mount Vernon plantation, owners
began to work this land.
The land was held from 1799 to
1831 by John Atkinson “and others”
until transferred to William Henry
Harrison. Harrison held the land
until 1855, then sold it to Henry F.
Green and Samuel C. Flemming.
Here’s where the transactions become more involved. In 1857, James
P. Stump apparently buys 8,247 acres
of the original 46,783 acre tract.
Stump then sells 215 acres of his
holding in 1879 to George Miller.
To not provide any additional
stale information, let me just relate
some of the names also mentioned in
these transactions long before
William B. Stump gets his land.
Names include William F. Pifer (with
the abstract saying “We have not
been able to find where the said Wm.
F. Pifer got this land.)
Other names included are Adam
Ketterman, N. D. Parran, A. L. Parran, W. V. D. Parran, John C. Parran,
George See, John and Mary Craigen.
At this point I thought I was making headway but on page 10 I find a
citation of sale to Roolof Ellinger
from Abraham Conline from
Thomas Nottingham (1772) from
Lord Fairfax (1750) as distinguished
as Lot No. 4.
Getting back to the purpose of
this abstract, it appears there was a
need to prove that William B. Stump
had clear title to the real estate in
question so that the United States
Leather Company could purchase
bark from the forests to use in their
tannery.
Again, I beg my reader’s pardon
for dragging you through this, but of
such is history made. Beginning next
week, I’ll try to get back to narrative
history that will have greater interest
to more of you.
However, consider this: If you
own any real estate at all, it will have
a history much like this. It would be
time consuming, but if you made a title search, you might find some very
interesting things about your own
piece of Hardy County.

A WAKE-UP CALL
The World Health Organization (WHO)
recently issued a statement concerning nighttime noise in European countries that the
rest of the world may want to note.
According to WHO, 20 percent of Europeans
are exposed to excessive noise overnight that
has the potential of damaging their health.
The recommended limit of nighttime noise is
an average 40 decibels, which corresponds to
a quiet street in a residential neighborhood.
The statement indicated that experiencing
slightly higher noise levels may prompt some
tossing and turning in bed, causing bouts of
insomnia and other mild side effects. Levels
above 55 decibels (the noise of a busy street)
may cause sleepers to experience more serious side effects, such as high blood pressure
and heart attacks.
Our primary mission at AUDIBEL is to
help as many people as possible improve
their hearing and thus their lives. We hope
to help the hearing impaired better enjoy
the world through advanced technology,
education, and friendly, compassionate
service. For a knowledgeable understanding of the body’s hearing mechanisms and
a deep commitment to knowing what’s
available today to help each individual’s
hearing loss, call us or stop by to arrange
a hearing test—the first step to better
hearing.
P.S. The same ear protection (ear plugs)
that people use during the day to protect
themselves from excessive and prolonged
daytime noise may prove to be equally
worthwhile when worn at night.

tomatic Aid Agreement.”
Commission President Stanley
Moyer asked the two agencies to remedy the situation.
Lewis said there were still problems with Sheriff’s deputies changing
their schedules and refusing calls.
Sheriff Robert Ferrell said this was
a result of the “no overtime” rules.
Ferrell said he has scheduled a meeting with deputies to address these issues.
There also continues to be problems with people who do not display
their 911 address where it can be seen
by emergency personnel. “We stress
to people that they need to display
their addresses at their driveway or on
their homes,” he said.
Barking Dogs
Cold Spring Road resident
George Hedrick told the commission
his neighbor’s dogs were barking all
hours of the day and night.
“I love dogs,” Hedrick said. “But
there are three hounds that bark
probably 20 hours a day. They tell me
there is nothing I can do about it.”
Moyer asked Sheriff Ferrell to investigate whether the dogs were receiving proper care.
Ferrell said he would check to
make sure they had food, water and
shelter. He will also make sure they
are properly licensed and had their rabies shots.
JAG Program
Moorefield Police Chief Frank
Vetter told the commission the county and town had been approved to receive a $15,000 Justice Assistance
Grant for drug enforcement.
He presented a Memorandum of
Agreement to the commission to
share the grant between the town police and the county sheriff’s office.
The town will receive $10,000 and the
county will receive $5,000.
The commission approved the
MOA.
Court introduced Cary Ours, recently
hired as the Director of the Hampshire/Hardy County Day Report Center.
Day Report Centers are alternates
to jail for nonviolent offenders and eligible offenders who cannot afford
bail.
Rohrbaugh also informed the
commission the Hampshire County
Day Report Center would be opening
soon in the old Bank of Romney
building.
“Until we find a suitable place in
Hardy County, Cary will be meeting
with clients at the courthouse,”
Rohrbaugh said. “We want to make
sure offenders in Hardy County have
access to the program.”
Commissioner J. R. Keplinger
mentioned the budget for the centers
included funding for transportation.
Regional Sewer
County Planner Tom Widder and
consultant Phyllis Cole informed the
commission the West Virginia Public
Service Commission refused to approve the formation of a Moorefield
Area Public Service District. They
asked for the county commission’s
support regarding local legislation to
form a Regional Wastewater Authority.
Cole said because attorney Robert
Rodecker has written legislation regarding water and sewer organizations, she would recommend he be
asked to write the Hardy County bill.
Moyer said the process would entail writing a bill, forwarding it to Delegate Harold Michael and Senators
Clark Barnes and Walt Helmick. They
would confer on the legislation and
would introduce it in their respective
houses of the legislature.
Following the bill’s passage in both
the House of Delegates and the State
Senate, the bill would be forwarded to
Governor Manchin for his signature.
As discussed more than eight
months ago, the Regional Wastewater
Authority would consist of two representatives from the town of Moorefield, two representatives from Hardy
County and one representative from
the largest industrial user, which at
this point, is Pilgim’s Pride.
The commission voted to support
drafting the legislation, but did not
adjourn their meeting in order to approve the document after it has been
drafted.
Cole said she hoped to have a document before the legislature convenes
on Jan. 13.

MOOREFIELD EXAMINER - SECTION B
EagleEye
Look Begins Basketball Career at Bridgewater
Story & Photo
By Carl Holcomb
Moorefield Examiner
Molly Look’s next step after graduating from East Hardy was to fly on
wings of Eagles and she has proven
she can navigate the winds of change
with her teammates at Bridgewater
College.
After a storied career as a
Cougar, Look’s scoring dominance
has taken a defensive twist.
Bridgewater College (5-4) has
taken this proven athlete and given
her time on the bench as a freshmen
to learn the system and contribute
when her name is called.
Look has taken this change graciously and provides solid support for
the starters.
In nine games this season, Look
has played a total of 107 minutes,
which averages out to 11.9 minutes
per game.
Look shakes off her nerves coming off the bench with an acute sense
of direction and assistance on the
floor.
When in the game, Look controls
the ball handling skills coming up the
floor for the most part.
“It’s a little nerve racking, but after I get in there for a few minutes I
settle down and it’s alright,” Look
noted.
Look was quite impressive on the
defensive side of the ball against
Eastern Mennonite (9-0) last week
during Old Dominion Athletic Conference competition.
Eastern Mennonite garnered a
68-55 victory after fighting past the
Eagles’ talented young defense.
EMU point guard Melissa Lewis,
the team’s fourth leading scorer,
struggled to find the basket when
Look was in the game.
Look was a shadow that would
not depart from Lewis and that created a change in the Royals’ scheme.
“I think I play better defense this
year than I do offensively,” Look
stated.
Look’s strength on defense may
not show up in numbers right now
but it has been the little things that
have helped keep Bridgewater in
contests this season.
Eastern Mennonite was only up
by six points at halftime, 30-24 due to
the defensive pressure of the Eagles.
Bridgewater stayed very close
even though both teams combined Bridgewater College’s Molly Look brings the ball up the court

Magnificent Moorefield Matmen
By Carl Holcomb
The Moorefield grapplers, hosted a trimatch against Petersburg and Frankfort
last Wednesday at the Hive and emerged
victorious.
The Falcons and Yellow Jackets got
tangled up on the mat and needed a
tiebreaker to determine the winner after
knotting the score at 36-all.
Moorefield was given the victory on
Criteria H, awarded to the team with the
greater number of first bout points scored.
Moorefield edged the Falcons in this
category, 5-2 with five first takedowns.
According to the officials, the next and
final criteria which determines the victor
was flipping the disc.
Moorefield’s Josiah Brininger pinned
Frankfort’s Ryan Clark at the four minute
and 54 second mark.

“We kept fighting. I was glad to see our
energy and intensity was up. They knew
they had to win. We had five first takedowns against Frankfort. I have been
drilling in these guys that when you get the
first points, you are setting yourself up for
victory. You are in the driver’s seat and
that was proven today. Adam [Boswell]
faced an experienced wrestler but did well.
Eddie [Funkhouser] had a great match but
his lack of experience caught up with him.
Overall, I am very proud of what these guys
did,” MHS Wrestling Coach Ryan Bailey
commented.

Moorefield had two games nullified due to weather but managed to avoid
slippery conditions for two victories against Paw Paw and Union.
The Yellow Jackets hosted Paw Paw last Monday night and won 70-25.
Moorefield committed three early fouls but kept stinging the Pirates with
a full-court press, enabling three steals in a 45 second span.
Jordan Ours had the first steal of the game and dished the ball to Trevor
Markwood for a lay-up.
Josh Thorne notched the next two swipes for Moorefield and scored both
times for a 6-0 advantage.
Ours added another steal and found Korey Reed open, who sliced into the
lane to give the Yellow Jackets a 10-1 edge.
Moorefield’s Tanner Sherman scored eight consecutive points, including
two shots from beyond-the-arc which helped Moorefield build a 20-1 lead.
Sherman finished the game with ten points.
The Lady Cougars froze Moorefield, 52-34 in Baker last Friday night.
The Yellow Jackets took nearly
an entire quarter to thaw their wings
as East Hardy built a 14-4 lead after
the opening stanza.
East Hardy’s Emily Beck got the
scoring started with an old-fashioned
three point play just twenty seconds
into the game.
Moorefield’s Victoria Wright responded with two consecutive steals
but only netted one free throw after
the turnovers.
Beck netted four points in 23 seconds to give the Lady Cougars a 6-1
lead with 5:25 left in the first period.
Moorefield’s Taylor Zuber
grabbed an offensive rebound and
scored two charity shots at the 3:59
mark.
Emily Biller netted a jumper 12
seconds later for an 8-3 East Hardy
lead.
Teamwork was evident on the
next play as Biller grabbed a defensive carom, then passed to Morgan
Mongold, who found Lindsey Basye
for a basket in the paint.
Wright stole the ball early in the
second quarter, made a lay-up and
was fouled by Beck in the process.
The free throw did not fall and
Beck snatched the rebound.
On defense, Moorefield’s Shayna
Vetter blocked an East Hardy shot
attempt.
Brooklyn Weese rebounded the
ball on defense, but Moorefield
failed to score on the next possession.
Shortly after a basket by East
Hardy’s Ashley Dove at the 4:24
mark, Moorefield’s Kristen Ball and
Shayna Vetter applied pressure
which forced a turnover.
The Lady Cougars pounced to a
22-6 advantage after a basket by

Open T–F 11–6 • Sat. 10–3 Closed
Sometimes, for some unknown
reason, a team just can’t seem to win
against another team. For West Virginia, that nemesis is Notre Dame.
The Mountaineers’ first road win in
the Big East was at Notre Dame,
back in 1996. They haven’t won
since.
The streak had reached nine, and
it looked like this would be the year
that WVU would finally win again
on the Irish’s home floor. After all,
the Mountaineers are ranked in the
top 10, and were coming off an impressive dismantling of Rutgers.
Any hope of breaking that streak,
however, seemed to go away in the
first half. The Irish were red hot, hitting 6-7 three pointers, and shooting
75% overall. As hot as Notre Dame
was, the Mountaineers were as cold
as the Hardy County weather, shooting just 3-18 on three pointers, and
25% overall. That combination
meant a commanding 45-25 halftime
lead for the hosts.
But WVU did not give up, and
played a heck of a second half. They
made nine three pointers and held
the Irish to 26% shooting, but in the
end the halftime deficit was too
much to overcome. Da’Sean Butler
attempted a three pointer in the final
seconds that would have given the
Mountaineers an unbelievable win,
but it wouldn’t go in.
West Virginia’s loss was not a
good one, but it is also important to
put things in perspective. WVU was
one of several ranked teams to lose a
road game this weekend. Among the
victims: #1 Kansas, #4 Purdue, #5
Duke, #11 Kansas State, #18 Florida State, and #24 Washington. In
short, this is something that can (and
will) happen to any team. West Virginia still has a lot going for it, and a
lot to look forward to with Deniz Kilicli eligible in less than a month. An-

other silver lining from the Notre
Dame game is that in the second
half, WVU did get some decent
guard play, which had been lacking
for a while.
The men’s team now has a run of
winnable games coming up. A few of
them could end up as losses, of
course, but I like their chances of
putting together a win streak that
could be eight or ten or more. The
toughest games for a while are at
home, which could be the edge that
the Mountaineers need. The biggest
test for the rest of January would appear to be this Saturday at noon,
against what will likely be a top 5
Syracuse team. A win against the Orange would re-establish the Mountaineers a top 10 squad.
The #17 women’s team staged a
comeback of its own last Saturday,
erasing a double digit deficit in the
second half to force overtime against
a good DePaul team. They then controlled the extra period for a 64-57
win. They have made a strong case as
the third best team in the Big East so
far, behind #1 Connecticut and Top
5 Notre Dame.
Notes: The two games this week
are tonight at South Florida and Saturday against Syracuse. The game
against the Bulls tips at 7:00, and is a
“Big East Local” telecast, so check
your TV listings. The Syracuse game
tips at noon and is on ESPN...The
football team finished 22nd in the
coaches’ poll and 25th in the media
poll. Cincinnati finished in the top 10
of both polls and Pitt was #15 in
both.

Eastern Mennonite made 21-of29 second half charity shots to help

“We need to do the small things,
learn to be fundamentally sound.
Our team hustles well, but you can’t
win on just hustle,” Paw Paw Coach
Jeromy Duelley remarked.
“The key to victory was execution.
Our shots started falling and we are
getting better at the free throw line,”
MHS Coach Nick Watts stated.
The Yellow Jackets did not play
against Tucker County nor Northern

fans came to lend their support.
Among the supporters were her
parents, her former coach Raymond
Snapp, assistant coach Meagan
Fansler, teammates Emily Biller and
Cassy Miller.
Look’s mom brought her some of
her favorite chopped fruit and a big
hug after the game.
Look understands her role with
the Eagles and has been gelling with
her teammates since the beginning.
“We’re pretty close. I mean,
everyone sticks together and does
things together. We are all good
teammates,” Look remarked.
Look has recorded 15 points, ten
rebounds, four assists, and four steals
this season in a limited role.
Look has provided a spark for
Bridgewater coming off the bench
and will improve her contributions
with diligent practice and hard work.

Six members of the East Hardy
FFA officer team attended the 2009
National FFA Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. They traveled
through nine states and saw many exciting sites and landmarks.
On Friday, during the third session of the convention, Ag Teacher,
Mr. Rodney Hardman, received the
Honorary American Degree. This
degree is the highest honorary degree which anyone can receive. In order to receive this award, an individual must have provided exceptional
service to agriculture, agricultural education, or the FFA.
A thank you goes to Mr. Hardman for all that he does in our community, our school, and our FFA
chapter.
Pictured are Riley Branch, Western Region Vice President and Mr.
Rodney Hardman, East Hardy High School Ag teacher.
