A Second Stormwater
Overflow Discovered At
Freedom Industries Spill Site
The students pictured here are: Trevor Neff, Jason
Brown, Jacob Grose, and Cooper Osborne. These young
men helped to transport the table, maneuvered the table
through the facility, and placed it in the courtyard. They
paused a moment for a picture with their teacher, Brian
Holcomb, Gene King, along with two manager/directors
of the facility.
CCHS Carpentry Class
“Picnic Project”
Real work experience
is what makes career and
technical programs come to
life for students all across
the nation. Here in Clay
County, our students not
only get real work projects,
but they get to give back to
their community in ways
that bring a bright spot to
others.
Mr. Brian Holcomb, carpentry teacher at CCHS, is
always looking for ways
to give students practical
experience while helping
others. Just recently, students were able to build a
picnic table and present it
to the residents of Laurel
Nursing and Rehabilitation
Center in Big Otter, WV.
O. Gene King, the longest serving local board of
education member in WV,
requested that a table be
made for the courtyard at
the facility. CCHS students
went to work designing and
purchasing the necessary
materials to make it happen. The table was made
with treated lumber, to give
an extended life so that the
residents can enjoy it for
years to come.
CCHS Panthers are
proud to be a small part of
the Laurel Nursing and Rehabilitation Center. Plans
are already being developed for future projects
at the center. Thank you
CCHS Panthers!
4H Camp Underway
By Shanna Paige
Local kids filled the courthouse, preparing to have a
week-long vacation from
school and parents. 4H camp
is under way as kids enjoy the activities they have
planned for them. Smiling
faces and clothes in hand
they boarded the buses Monday morning for the annual
activity. 4-H brings positive
youth development activities
to participating kids. The
program strives to teach life
skills, build character, foster
citizenship and instill healthy
habits.

Missing Boy Found
Freedom Industries failed
for a second straight day to
prevent a stormwater collection trench overflow at the
MCHM spill site along the
Elk River, forcing the West
Virginia Department of
Environmental
Protection
(DEP) again to intervene.
“To have this happen
twice in two days is outrageous and unacceptable,”
said DEP Secretary Randy
Huffman. “Freedom and its
environmental
consultant
should have a system in
place to handle heavy rainfall. If a better system is not
implemented immediately,
the DEP will take action to
bring in a more responsible
contractor to handle it.” The
DEP has received Freedom’s
plan for preventing future
overflow events at the spill
site and is carefully reviewing the measures outlined in
that plan.
Friday’s overflow coincided with a heavy downpour
of rain at around 5 p.m. The
discharge lasted for approximately 50 minutes before
being brought under control
through increased pumping.
The incident follows a
similar overflow of stormwater discovered yesterday
(Thursday, June 12). In that
instance, the DEP determined
a pump float level, meant to
trip the device on, was not
properly set. Two notices of
violation were issued following that event: for allowing a
discharge from an unpermit-
By Shanna Paige
ted outlet, and for failure to
comply with the terms and
conditions of an order to implement an approved sump
management plan. NOVs
are being issued for today’s
discharge as well –includes
a mandate that Freedom respond by noon Saturday with
an outline of how the system
will be redesigned to prevent
future overflows.
The DEP inspector who
discovered the latest discharge has relayed that the
sump pump was operating,
unlike yesterday’s incident,
but apparently could not
keep up with the heavy flow
of rainwater. A backup pump
was activated to increase
pumping capacity.
West Virginia American
Water, which has a drinking
water intake a mile and a half
downstream, has been notified and will be collecting
samples of raw water coming into the plant intake as
well as treated water. Testing of raw and treated water
samples after Thursday’s
discharge came back at nondetectable levels.
A 10,000-gallon crude
MCHM leak at the site on
January 9 contaminated the
drinking water of approximately 300,000 people. Construction of the trench was
commenced that day so that
rainwater and groundwater
running across polluted soil
at the site would not seep
into the river.

opened on Saturday morning June 14.

Two people are under arrest, both being charged with possession with intent
to deliver, after a confidential informant
purchased drugs from the two. The West
Virginia State Police were able to obtain
arrest warrants for Melissa Koch and
Jeremy Gray after two separate methamphetamine buys from Koch, one methamphetamine buy from Jeremy Gray
and one oxycodone purchase from Gray Melissa Koch
were overseen through controlled buys.
According to news sources, West Virginia State Police went to the residence of
Melissa Koch, a former teacher at Clay
Elementary, on Friday to serve a search
warrant related to the drug possession
and distribution. When police arrived at
the home, Koch was caught in the act of
consuming illegal drugs. Koch and Gray
were both arrested and charged with two
felony counts each of possession with in- Jeremy Gray
tent to deliver.
County Commission Meeting
By Erica Kearns
A small group gathered
for Wednesday’s County
Commission meeting at the
Clay Courthouse. The session began with the approval
of the minutes, bills, purchase orders, assessments
and budget revisions. The
majority of the agenda was
devoted to estates, as the final settlement of the estates
of Mildred Holcomb, John
Summers and Marshall Bailey were approved, the appointment of Richard Drake
as administrator of the estate
of Linda Harrison was approved and the probating of
the last wills and testaments
of Mary Metheney, Teddy
McClain, Clarence Falls,
Richard White and Annie
Ramsey were all approved.
The group voted to declare
vacancy of a Clay County
Board of Education member and establish a filing
period for the candidates to
be placed on the November
4, 2014 general election ballet. The open position was
originally held by O. Gene
King until his resignation, at
which time his son JR was
appointed to fill the position.
Voters will now choose who

being held on June 25, 2014
at 1:00 pm.
Oil and gas producer Cunningham Energy was scheduled to appear before the
commission to discuss nonpayment of delinquent property taxes but a representative was no present for the
meeting. Sheriff’s Department employees and County
Commission members discussed the amount due by
Cunningham briefly before
voting to table the discussion
until a later date.

Tim Butcher and family
As we grow older our
accomplishments
become
fewer and harder to achieve.
We are happy to announce
the graduation of Tim Opten
Butcher from Liberty University with a degree in Theology. Tim has worked very
hard to accomplish this. This
began many years ago after
he had a calling from God
to preach the gospel. There
were many stumbling blocks
in his way and he strayed
from God’s path. God will
always bring his sheep back.
Tim has suffered many heart
aches and physical pain in
his return to the Ministry.
Now he has been blessed to
return to the word of God
that he loves and indwells in
the blessings of God’s word.
Through diligent study in
which he hungers for, he has
received his Theology Degree from Liberty University
in Lynchburg Virginia. He
also completed several other
studies offered at the University. Tim is currently pastoring at The Lighthouse Baptist
Church in Ivydale West Virginia. Sunday school services are at 10:00am and church
services are at 11am. There
are several events planned
at the church VBS/ Revival
and lots of fun for everyone.
We are a church with a BIG
heart. Romans 3:23 tells us
ALL have sinned. We welcome all walks of life. Regardless of how others have
labeled you. If you don’t
have a church home please

Briefly, last month I mentioned the special session
which restored funding to
children and family programs. As you recall, the
legislature voted to fund
$357,900 to Grants for Licensed Domestic Violence
Programs, $150,464 to Family Resource Networks,
$30,000 to Domestic Violence Legal Services Fund,
$250,000 to In-Home Family Education, $80,000 to the
Children’s Trust Fund and
$200,000 to Child Advocacy
Centers.
I am happy to report further that the Governor did indeed sign this measure, finalizing the legislative process.
If you remember, the special session also coincided
with our May interim meetings. The May interim meetings were mostly organizational, allowing committees
to form after the session and
discuss the topics they will
be studying. As part of that process the
Legislature has released the
topics which have been assigned to the various committees and subcommittees
during the interim meetings. While the list has been posted on the legislature’s website it is important to note
that anything can be added to
the study topics with the approval of the Speaker and the
President.
I am once again the House
Chair of the Agriculture and
Rural Development Interim
Committee, an honor I take
very seriously. The committee has been assigned three
study resolution from which
to begin our meetings. First, House Concurrent
Resolution 141 which requests we undertake a study
regarding the many aspects
of genetically modified
foods. Second, Senate Concurrent Resolution 42, which
requests a study regarding
farmers market vendors.
And third, Senate Concurrent Resolution 79 which requests a study on the cottage
food industries and small
farms.
Farming, agriculture and
related businesses have always been vital to West Virginia and even more today
when you think about national security. A safe and
convenient food source is
essential to the well-being of
West Virginians around the
state. Being able to produce
and purchase local food from
local businesses not only
promotes a healthier way of
life but also helps sustain a
growing healthy economy by
keeping that money in the local communities. From farm to table is a
concept we should work really hard to fully embrace here
in West Virginia and with the
help of the Agriculture Commission, we are seeing more
cooperation between farmers and local communities. I
look forward to continue this
open dialogue and will help
in any way I can through this
committee.
If you should have any
questions or comments regarding any issues or bills
before the legislature please
feel free to contact me. To
write me, my address is Delegate David Walker, State
Capitol, Building 1, Room
203-E, Charleston, WV
25305. Or you may call me
at (304) 340-3135. I encourage all my constituents to remain active and become part
of the legislative process.

New system centralizes
management of abuse and
neglect cases in West Virginia
West Virginia Department
of Health and Human Resources Commissioner for
the Bureau for Children and
Families Nancy Exline announced the establishment
of a Centralized Intake Unit
(CIU) for reports of abuse
and neglect.
“The Centralized Intake
Unit will ensure consistency
across the state for the receipt and documentation of
abuse and neglect cases for
child and adult protective
services,” Exline said. “Centralized Intake will also provide consistency in evaluation and decision making for
child protective services.”
CIU replaces the current
practice of separate intake
units by county and contract
services for after-hours calls. Now all child and adult protective services intake functions will be consolidated
into one operation staffed
and managed by employees
of the Bureau for Children
and Families.
Reports of abuse or neglect of a child or adult can
be made to the Bureau by
calling 1-800-352-6513.
The Centralized Intake
Unit will begin operations on
July 1, 2014.
Happy Birthday West Virginia ‘Take the Play to the People’: About
By Shanna Paige
West Virginia became a state on June
20, 1863. West Virginia’s state capital
is located in Charleston. Originally, the
state capital was in Wheeling (1863 to
1870). It was then moved to Charleston, a more central city (1870 to 1875).
However it was returned to Wheeling in
1875, until the capitol burned down in
1885. It was moved back to Charleston
in 1885.
West Virginia covers an area of
24,229.76 square miles, with 24,077.73
square miles of land and 152.03 square
miles of water, making it the 41st-largest
state in the United States. West Virginia borders Pennsylvania and Maryland in the northeast,
Virginia in the southeast, Ohio in the northwest, and
Kentucky in the southwest. West Virginia’s state bird is the Cardinal, state flower is the Rhododendron, state tree is Sugar Maple, state animal is the Black Bear, and the state fish is the
Brook Trout.
Pain Management Clinic
Regulations Latest Step to
Combat Substance Abuse
Effective July 1, 2014, clinics that primarily treat patients for chronic pain must be
licensed by the West Virginia Department
of Health and Human Resources Office of
Health Facility Licensure and Certification
(OHFLAC).
“Pain clinic licensure is the most recent
step in combating substance abuse in West
Virginia,” said Jolynn Marra, director of
OHFLAC. “Governor Earl Ray Tomblin and
members of the legislature began implementing substance abuse legislation in 2012. Licensure ensures all chronic pain management
clinics conform to a common set of standards
and meet minimum requirements for care,
treatment, health, safety, welfare and comfort
of patients.”
Facilities meet the definition of a pain clinic subject to licensure if more than 50 percent
of the patients in the practice during any one
month period are treated for chronic pain for
non-malignant conditions. Failure to comply
with the new regulations could result in fines.
OHFLAC will inspect the clinics annually
and will investigate complaints regarding facilities suspected of operating as pain clinics.
Hospitals, nursing homes and certain other
facility types are exempt from licensure.
Clinics are encouraged to contact OHFLAC
for more information at (304) 558-0050.
Water
and Community
By Dan Heyman
An unusual production of a play - on the
river in downtown Charleston - is stirring
the water and wants people to see. The New
Brooklyn Theater company is staging an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen’s “An Enemy of the
People,” on a stage built at a public dock.
The century-old play is about a doctor who
finds his town’s water has been polluted with
a deadly chemical. Director Jonathan Solari,
says they came to town specifically to prompt
debate and dialogue. He says they want to
talk about what’s important to people, in a
location central to those questions.
“In between where the Elk River feeds into
the Kanawha and the state Capitol - depending on where your eyes as an audience member turn, we’re in the middle of everything,”
says Solari.
The Freedom Industries chemical spill
stopped much of the state from being able
to drink its tap water. The effects of that are
still rippling through the legal and political
systems.
Solari says one of the great strengths of
live theater has always been that it engages
people in the political and social landscapes
where they live. And in this case, he says,
they can connect with people - and the land
and water itself.
“If we can do anything to get more people
to feel some kind of ownership of the land
that we’re performing on, then we’ve succeeded a little bit,” he says.
He explains they are actually using the river water in the production, and making reference to the landmarks from the stage. That
kind of staging actually has an old tradition.
As far back as the ancient Greeks, theater
was part of everyday life and politics, not
separate from them.
In similar fashion, Solari says, they want to
break down that artificial divide by taking the
play into the community.
“At the most basic level, it’s easier to get
people to the theater if we’re not in a theater.”
The show runs the next three weekends at
the public dock next to the Frontier Building
on MacCorkle Avenue - Thursdays through
Sundays, starting at 7:30 p.m.

Familiar Sounds of Peep
Frogs Say Summer is Here
By Erica Kearns
One familiar sound of
summer is the call of the
peep frog on warm evenings. While frogs do begin to vocally appear in the
early summers, they are also
making an appearance in another manner. West Virginia
is home to fourteen different
species of frogs and toads,
all of which lay eggs. Eggs
are laid in water including
streams, ponds, roadside
ditches and road puddles.
The time it takes for a frog
egg to hatch into tadpoles depends on the species of frog,
but can take up to 12 weeks.
Once hatched, the tadpoles
start the metamorphosis.
Transformation of tadpoles
to sub-adults begins with the
appearance of hind legs followed by the development of
front legs and lungs. During
this developmental process,
the tail becomes smaller and
eventually disappears altogether. Newly transformed
frogs are called froglets, and
newly transformed toads are
called toadlets. Make a trip
into the wilderness today and
see if you can discover some
of these little amphibious
wonders yourself.

Historical Society Meeting
Our regular monthly meeting was held June 4, 2014
in the Clay County Library.
Present were Jerry Stover,
Sandra Claybrook, Jim Miller and Eloise Boggs. We may
be few in number but enthusiasm is high and “things”
are moving!
President Jerry Stover
called the meeting to order and minutes of the May
meeting were approved as
was the treasurer’s report.
Eloise gave a review of
a letter received from Neil
Boggs in which he describes
letting go of his “treasures”
and entrusting them to the
Historical Society. We have
received books from Neil
from time to time, but this
time he sent photos and
memorabilia of the Dundon
shopyard, of locomotives in
Dundon and other pictures
of Dundon and Swandale,
all 8X10s. (Neil grew up in
Dundon.) Another treasure
is the booklet describing the
last steam locomotive run on
the BC&G railroad in 1965
(including many photos of
the occasion). There are also
other articles written to describe the BC&G and similar
railroads. This material will
be cataloged and will eventually be available for viewing
in our library.
Neil also sent the twovolume set of Kanawha
County Images - A Bicentennial History - 1788-1988
by Stan Cohen and Richard
Andre. He suggested that
we might want to sell the
set which now is worth quite
a lot of money. No such motion was made.
We discussed at some
length the design of a rubber stamp to identify our
books and other material and
items, with lines to identify
the donor, the date and other
pertinent comments. A motion was made, seconded and
approved that Jim be given
permission to purchase such

Hooray! It looks as though
we are at last getting somewhere with Garnie Testa’s
book on the history of education in Clay County. John
Coulter has typed the teacher
biographies and Sandra has
collected the other sections
of the rough copy and will
begin typing those portions,
including the penciled-in
corrections. Some discussion
followed about whether to
invite other teachers to add
their stories, but it was decided that we should keep it
as is, strictly Garnie’s.
We have available for
$5.00 a Table of Contents for
Now & Then, Vols 1 thru 20
(1990-2010). This is not an
index, but a listing of topics.
Adjournment. Next Meeting: Wednesday, July 2, 2014
at 1PM, Clay County Library.

menu items in the next edition of the Clay Free Press.

To review our last session, there are four
very important facts about the Bible teaching of election: 1. Election is an absolute. In
other words, it is positive and definite, with
no element of degree. You may have several candidates for a political office, but only
one can hold the office. 2. Election must be
personal. One cannot elect without choosing something or someone. 3. Election can
only be one way. I cannot choose God if
God chooses me, nor can God choose me if I
have chosen Him first. 4. Election must have
an end or goal. There must be an object involved. One cannot choose without choosing
for a purpose.
Because of depravity, by nature we disapprove of God being sovereign, and working
all things after the counsel of His own will.
The most popular interpretation is to say
that election does not really mean election;
rather, it means accepting something after
the fact. God only chooses the sinner after
the sinner has chosen God; but does a man
or woman choose to be President before the
people vote? If this is true, then God is helpless to help man until man has done something to help himself. I will quote some Bible
verses, you examine them carefully within
their context and decide what you think they
mean. Jesus speaking, John 6:37 “All that
the Father giveth me shall come to me; and
him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast
out.” John 6:39 “And this is the Father’s will
which hath sent me, that of all which he hath
given me I should lose nothing, but should
raise it up again at the last day.” John 6:44
“No man can come to me, except the Father
which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise
him up at the last day.” Now, let’s read what
the apostle Paul has to say; Romans 8:29-30
¶ “For whom he did foreknow, he also did
predestinate [to be] conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn
among many brethren. Moreover whom he
did predestinate, them he also called: and
whom he called, them he also justified: and
whom he justified, them he also glorified.”
Finally, we shall consider the Apostle Peter’s
statement; 1 Peter 1:2 “Elect according to the
foreknowledge of God the Father, through
sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience
and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ:
Grace unto you, and peace, be multiplied.”
The same is true about predestination. The
popular belief is that predestination is limited. It applies to everything except salvation
and man’s free will. Is that really true? The
apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 1:4-6; “According as he hath chosen us in him before
the foundation of the world, that we should
be holy and without blame before him in love:
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of
children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, To the
praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he
hath made us accepted in the beloved.” There
is a misconception about the free will of man.
Most of the modern “theologians” teach that
man is a free, moral agent; notwithstanding,
the Bible teaches that man is not free but in
bondage to sin, neither is he moral: for he is
by nature depraved and a sinner against God.
The problem with man’s free will is that it too
is depraved; therefore, man, on his own and
by himself, will not choose God to save him.
Are these teachings really that important?
Yes, and for the following reasons: (1) God’s
sovereignty is not relevant, but absolute.
Sovereignty cannot be limited to just certain
things. So, without these teachings Divine
sovereignty is not possible. (2) Unconditional
election is consistent with the true principle
of absolute sovereignty. (3) Without election
and predestination, the work of redemption
would have been for naught. The principle
of human depravity demands that one who is
divine, having a desire to fellowship with His
human creation must choose either some or
all; that He might draw them to Himself. The
Bible clearly shows in Romans 3:11 Psalms
14:2, Jeremiah 17:9, Isaiah 64:7, (do your
homework); that no one would ever come
to God on his own. Absolute sovereignty
establishes that God has the right to choose
some or all according as it pleases him. The
fact that there are some who are in hell today
proves that God did not choose all of mankind to go to heaven. We shall continue this
study in the next issue, the Lord willing. Email, [email protected].
Life is a Privilege that God
wants us to Value
By Lee Roy Anderson
Blessed are the meek for
they shall inherit the earth,
Matthew 5:5. Proverbs 2:22
says, But the wicked shall
be cut off from the earth and
transgressors shall be rooted
out of it. So often it seems
like the evil will inherit the
earth rather than the meek.
Bad people with evil intentions appear blessed in
many ways that good people
are not. It is a hard lesson
to learn that the rain fall on
the just and the unjust alike.
See Matthew 5:45. Often it
would be so nice to see the
unkind, cruel, hateful people
get what they deserve. Like
God’s people throughout history we cry out for God to
bring justice upon the heads
of our persecutors. In due
time, God will do just that.
God’s time is not our time
however, we must learn to be
patient and wait God offers
us a helpful suggestion in
waiting for justice to come.
Jesus says, Judge not that ye
be not judged. Why beholdest thou the mote that is in
thy brother’s eye but consider not the beam that is in
thine own eye, Matthew 7:13. It is easy to sit back and
hope for other people to receive their just desserts but,
what God wants us to do is
make sure that we are doing
everything that we should
be doing. Justice is God’s
responsibility. Ours is to do
those things that we know
are pleasing to God, and to
avoid doing the things that
he dislikes like judging our
neighbors. If we can learn
to be obedient to the will of
God, we will find that life
becomes a little easier to live
and a lot more fulfilling. Life
ceases to be such a struggle,
for us and it becomes a joy
God sent Jesus Christ to fight
the battle for us. He has become the victor our victor.
To his disciples Jesus said,
Peace I leave with you. My
peace I give unto you, John
14:27, Help me to follow
peace.

New Queens Crowned at Pageant
It was an evening of
glitter and glamour as the
annual Clay Golden Apple Festival Pageant took
place at the Clay High
School auditorium. Girls
came from throughout the
state to compete for the
coveted Golden Delicious
Miss Teen, Miss Golden
Delicious Queen, and Mrs.
Golden Delicious titles. It
was definitely some stiff
competition on the stage.
Pageant director Elizabeth Taylor with some
assistance from Leslie
Townsend put together a
great pageant along with
the inspiration of acting
festival director Dawn
Whitely. All of those competing seemed to have a
good time, win or lose.
Serving as the Master of
Ceremonies was none
other than the reigning
WV Association of Fairs
and Festivals Queen Leslie
Garrett. It couldn’t have
been better if Jay Leno had
done it.
Our reigning Golden
Delicious Queen, Ciara
Brown, took her final walk
on the stage before passing it on to the new Queen
Leanna Williams. Ciara
will be remembered as one
of the many queens that
wore the crown as Miss
Golden Delicious. Miss
Teen Ashton Page Rexroad
also took her final stroll
before handing her crown
over to the new Golden
Delicious Miss Teen,
Presley Slater. She will
no doubt represent Clay
County well. Last, but
certainly not least, is the
reigning Mrs. Golden Delicious Festival, Gretchen
Pingley, who relinquished
her crown to the new Mrs.
Golden Delicious Christa
Jenkins. Congratulations to
the new queens, you have
some big shoes to fill, and
I am confident after meeting you that it will be no
problem.
I’m sure that I speak for
everyone in saying that
this pageant would not
have been possible without
the help of all those who
were behind the scenes
getting everything ready
so it would go off without
a hitch. Pamela Ramsey
Taylor and crew served up
a lunch the Queen of England would have been happy to belly up to. To those,
a big thanks is appropriate.
The new queens cannot
wait for the opportunity
to have some big time fun
at this year’s apple festival Once again, congratulations to the new Clay
Golden Delicious Festival
royalty.

BridgeValley Community and Technical College (CTC) is hosting its
first educational summer
day camp for local students beginning on June
16 at the new Advanced
Technology Center in
South Charleston. The
camp is entitled “The
STEAM Academy” where
STEAM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math.
Over 65 local students
are registered. They will
participate in a variety of
hands-on activities and
workshops such as 3-D
design engineering, gaming technology, rockets,
and film making during
the two week camp.
“Interest in the STEAM
Academy has been overwhelming and we are

The GRNRA was designated as
part of the National Park system
in 1988. It contains 25 miles of the
Gauley River and 5 miles of the
neighboring Meadow River. The

deer. These are BONUS deer
and do not count toward the
hunter’s annual licensed deer
bag limit. However, participating hunters must possess
an appropriate base West
Virginia hunting license (A,
AH, AHJ, X, XJ, Lifetime)
or be exempt from having to
purchase a license. All deer
harvested must be checked
at the official game checking
station located on the NRAO
site.
Due to the nature of the
work at the observatory,
gasoline-powered vehicles
are strictly controlled on the
site. Hunters may park only
in designated parking areas,
and all vehicles will be issued a “pass” for display on
the windshield. Transportation from hunter check-in to
some hunt areas is provided
by the NRAO. For purposes
of safety and biological study
of harvested deer, all hunters must pass through the
check-in station each morning before the day’s hunt. At
the end of the day’s hunt, all
hunters must exit through the
checkout station.
Applications may be
picked up at any WVDNR
district office or may be requested by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to
the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at P.O. Box
2, Green Bank, WV 24944,
Attention: Hunt Coordinator.
Applications are also available on the WVDNR website
at www.wvdnr.gov. An application, detailed instructions and regulations will be
provided to each applicant.
For information, call 304456-2011 or 304-637-0245.
The newly protected area

The
National

Astronomy
Observatory
(NRAO) in Green Bank,
West Virginia, has announced that applications
are now available and are being accepted for the special
resident-only controlled deer
hunt at the NRAO site. This
controlled hunt is organized
and planned in cooperation
with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources
(WVDNR).
Submitting an application
enters the hunter in a drawing for a maximum of two
days on the NRAO site. Applications for the drawing
must be received by NRAO

Successful applicants will be
notified by mail and issued a
special NRAO letter of authorization to deer hunt. Only
hunters who have applied
and have received a letter for
a particular day or days can
hunt. “Walk-ons” will not be
permitted to hunt.
The controlled hunts, held
for two days (Oct. 17 and
18, 2014) under the auspices
of the WVDNR, will take
place on four delineated areas ranging in size from 132
acres to 1,000 acres. Each
area is designated: BOW
ONLY; or MUZZLELOADER & SHOTGUN WITH
SLUGS; or MUZZLELOADER ONLY. On the
application, the hunter must
choose a bow or the type of
firearm they wish to use during the hunt.

year-round recreational opportunities, including rafting, kayaking, hiking, biking, climbing, hunting, and
fishing.
“The importance of this
land to public recreation
can’t be overstated,” said
Bailey. “A portion of the
acquired property includes
2.1 miles of rail grade that
would have been closed to
the public had the development plans gone through.
Instead this rail grade can
now be considered as an
important link in the National Park Service’s plans
for nearly 14 miles of hiking and biking trails within
the GRNRA, he said.”
“For a number of reasons,
this is one of the most strategic acquisitions within
the Gauley Canyon,” said
Dave Arnold, Vice President of Adventures on the
Gorge. “This land fronts
on six miles of the river on
both sides and many of the
rafting companies use this
area for their lunch stops.
Protecting the visual corridor in this area is critical to
the quality of our customers’ experience,” he said.
“Many people don’t know
that the rafting companies
run the Gauley all year
long and one of our issues
is with river access when
the water levels are down.
With this acquisition, we
now have a potential public
access point. This is critical for us when the river is
low.”

The West Virginia Land
Trust permanently protected 665 acres along the
Gauley River last week
by purchasing properties
within the Gauley River
National Recreation Area
(GRNRA). The purchase
ensured that an area known
as the Gauley Canyon,
which had once been considered for development,
will remain intact and be
managed to provide forests, river access, and recreational opportunities for
the public. The trust purchased the properties from
Bright Forestland Properties, Larry Deitz, and the
Anne E. Deitz Trust.
“The acquisition of this
property represents the culmination of many months
of cooperative discussions
with owners who chose to
forgo their own development plans in favor of protecting some of West Virginia’s most iconic land,”
said Brent Bailey, Executive Director of the land
trust. “Not only will views
in the canyon be protected,
but the essence of West Virginia’s beauty will continue
to be on display for the
thousands of people who
visit the Gauley River each
year. We are very grateful
that this transfer of lands
could take place,” Bailey
said.
“The Deitz and Bright
families are also pleased
to have been able to work
with the West Virginia
Land Trust to transfer this
property,” said Bill Bright,
previous owner of a transferred property. “This will
preserve a beautiful and
special place for all to
enjoy in West Virginia,”
Bright said.
The Gauley River is perhaps best known for its
world class whitewater,
which draws nearly 60,000
whitewater rafters during a
six week period each fall.
Despite its popularity during this time period, the
deep forested gorge that the
river cuts through provides
Last night I wandered around in the halls
of yesterday, with shadowy, long-ago ancestors floating around me and forgotten
names and dates running through my mind.
I guess I could blame Joshua, my grandson
who has taken on the task of researching his
family tree. I had neglected to tell him that
this hobby is something that will captivate
you, and make you a slave to old-time census records and documents yellowed with
age.
Several years ago, I started to pursue this
fascinating project, and soon my husband
was complaining that the breakfast bar and
dining room table was so cluttered with
mountains of papers and documents that he
couldn’t find a place to eat. When I began
my writing career (so-called!) this project
got shoved in the background and almost
forgotten. I began digging out the old records and the genealogy bug almost bit me
again. Who else has an ancestor named
“Thankful Louella?”
These long-dead people are just pen and
ink on paper now, but once they were flesh
and blood people who lived, loved, cried,
laughed and had families. I told Josh this
morning that I would like to go back in time
and mingle with these people and learn their
lifetime stories. Genealogy can give the
dry facts, but there is so much more we will
never know. A notation on one of Criss’ ancestors reads, “Killed by a rebel.” What a
story must be behind this!
Meanwhile, we are making our own family history for future generations. It’s hard
to imagine that in just a matter of time, we
will be just a name on a genealogy list. Of
course our grandchildren will remember us,
and some of the great-grandchildren possibly could, but after that, later generations
might be told that they had an ancestor who
was a little weird and liked to write.
It is a wonderful thing to know that our
By Joseph L. Mazzella
names are written down in
another book. In Malachi
3:16, it reads, “Then they
that feared the Lord spake
often one to another: and the
Lord hearkened and heard it,
and a book of remembrance
was written before him for
them that feared the Lord, and that thought
upon his name. Verse 17, “And they shall
be mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day
when I make up my jewels; and I will spare
them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.”
When the Apostle Paul was nearing his
own death, he wrote in ll Timothy 4:68 these words, “For I am now ready to be
offered, and the time of my departure is at
hand. I have fought a good fight, I have
finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown
of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and
not to me only, but to all them also that love
his appearing.” Earth’s records will perish,
but the Book of Life shall endure forever.
Although it is not summer yet on the calendar, summer weather steams into our hills
bringing sticky, humid days and a profusion
of summer wildflowers. Day lilies march up
and down the highways and byways, hailing
summers’ return with a toss of their orange
heads. The black-eyes Susans’ stare brazenly at each passer-by, while the frothy blooms
of the elderberry bush promise black fruit to
come. Summer flowers are bolder in color
and take the place of springtime’s more delicate blossoms.
Our gardens are beginning to produce the
fresh vegetables that we eagerly look forward to each year. We have had a mess of
tiny new potatoes, creamed with milk and
butter, and eaten with a bowl of fresh lettuce
laced with green onions. The green beans
are putting out vines, and yellow squash is
almost ready to harvest. Summertime eating in the country cannot be surpassed!
Wild food promises to be abundant in the
hills this summer. The blackberries were
heavy with bloom, and now some of the
green berries are turning red. Wild raspber-
ry vines are putting forth green berries, and
the elderberry crop looks promising. Our
hills are rich in these delicious wild foods
which are ours for the gathering.
Lamb’s-quarter greens are coming up in
abundance now, with their mealy, whitish
underside. They remind me of spinach, and
are full of vitamins. They don’t have to be
parboiled, but can be put directly in a heavy
skillet with the water that clings to them after washing. Put on a heavy lid, and they
will cook in just a few minutes. They are
very good.
I found a recipe for these greens that
sounds delicious. Here it is:
LAMB’S-QUARTER IN SOUR
CREAM SAUCE
(Lamb’s-quarter is one of the mildest of
wild greens; the sour cream in this recipe
makes just the right piquant statement.)
3 cups of lambs-quarter greens, washed
and drained
¼ cup water
1 cup dairy sour cream
¼ cup milk
2 T. dry white wine (optional)
Wild chives, diced (optional)
Steam greens until just tender; drain well.
Meanwhile, gently heat sour cream and
milk; add wine (if used) after taking the
sauce off the heat. Pour over greens and
top with a garnish of chopped chives. I am
anxious to try this recipe as soon as I gather
the greens.
I really relish day lily buds—those flaming orange flowers that grow abundantly
along roadsides and highways. The opened
flower can also be used when dipped in an
egg batter and fried in hot oil. I favor the
unopened buds, simply steamed in a little
water and drained, and then seasoned with
salt, pepper and butter. They remind me
somewhat of tender green beans. I learned
the hard way that it is better not to eat too
much of them.
There are so many wild foods that I want
to try. Catbrier tips, anyone? These are
also known as green briers, but dressed up
with orange sauce sounds so appealing. My
daughter-in-law Jennifer told me once that
just because these things are edible doesn’t
mean that you have to eat them! But I
think—so much good food; so little time!
As kids, we roamed all over the hills and
fields, sampling almost everything within
our reach. We ate mountain tea leaves and
the red berries, chewed sweet birch bark,
nibbled on tender sassafras shoots and
spicewood twigs. I can’t remember eating
anything that hurt us.
School is out for young folks—summer
and the hills are waiting!

Programs include night
hikes and conservation of
bat habitat and the importance of bats in West Vir-

nature hikes, water study
and guided discovery to see
things that creep, crawl and

CDC: Risky Teen Behavior Shifts
By Dan Heyman
Less cigarette smoking,
soda drinking and physical fighting, but more time
at computers and other tech
devices. That’s the snapshot
from the new Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention’s National Youth Risk
Behavior survey.
The government goal of reducing teen smoking nationally to less than 16 percent
has been met. CDC director
Tom Frieden noted that it’s
a fragile victory, however, at
15.7 percent. And it comes
with the rise in popularity of
e-cigarettes, smoking pens
and electronic hookahs.
“No kid should be exposed
to advertising that glorifies
the use of nicotine,” said
Friden. “Or be able to easily buy e-cigarettes because
their sales haven’t been restricted.”
Frieden said he’s also
concerned about declining
condom use and poor diets
among teens.
The study also found
that most young people are
spending fewer hours watching TV, but more time in
front of a computer for nonschool reasons.
Stephanie Zaza is director of the division of adolescent and school health at the
CDC. She said the center has
a lot of great data, but they
don’t know why kids do the
things they do. She found it
alarming that 41 percent of
teen drivers admit to texting
or e-mailing while driving.
She urged parents to take
steps to stop behavior that
takes a teen’s attention away
from the road.
“Parents play an active
role in keeping their teen
drivers safe,” said Zaza, “by
close monitoring, frequent
discussions,
parent-teen
driving agreements, and acting as a role model of good
driving habits.”
The CDC study also found
that vehicle accidents cause
23 percent of deaths among
10-to-24-year-olds, making
it the biggest killer of teens
and young adults.

Prevention’s Youth Risk Behavior survey.
