at Friday’s County Commission meeting
A hospital employee
called police, last week,
and reported that a female
patient has been seen going through a stolen purse
in
the
restroom.
When Sgt.
J.
W.
Bonazzo of
the Sutton
Detachment of
the State
Scrogham
Police arrived, he confronted Vivian
Scrogham, who denied any
involvement.
Bonazzo’s investigation lead to the arrest of
Scrogham, 24, alleging she
stole the purse of a medical assistant and removed
a checkbook and cash in a
restroom at Braxton County
Memorial Hospital.
The officer discovered
the assistant’s wallet in
the trash. He also noticed
something sticking out of
the
waste
band
of
Scrogham’s clothing. When
asked about the object, the
accused told the officer it
was her underwear. It
turned out to be the
victim’s checkbook.
When asked about the
missing cash, Scrogham
again stated that she had
no knowledge of that either.
Bonazzo said he suspected that Scrogham’s 6
year old son might be hiding something and requested that the youngster
empty his pockets. Sure
enough, there was the
missing money, he said.
Scrogham was lodged
in the Central Regional
Jail in lieu of a $12,000
bond. She is charged with
felony breaking and entering and misdemeanor
charged of larceny of bank
notes and petit larceny.
The youth was not
charges as an accessory.
Scrogham is considered a
suspect in two similar
thefts at the Braxton
County office of the Department of Health and Human
Resources and Sutton Elementary School. Anyone
with information should
contact Sgt. Bonazzo at
765-2101.
Braxton man
among State
Police 55th
Cadet Class
After thirty long
weeks at the West Virginia
State Police Academy, the
55th Cadet Class graduated
Friday, April 21. A Braxton
County man is among the
new troopers. Ian B. Jackson, former local Braxton
County Deputy Sheriff, has
been assigned to Troop 4,
the South Charleston Detachment.
Currently there are
595 Troopers in the State
Police. The addition of
these cadets will bring the
number to 620. There are
also still 31 cadets, members of the 56th cadet class,
at the Academy. Of those
620 Troopers, there are
currently 13 Troopers activated in the military. The
graduation of the 56th cadet
class in July will raise the
total number to 651 Troopers.
Trooper Jackson is
the son on Bill and Jeanie
Jackson of Gassaway.
State GIS (Geographic Information System) coordinator, Craig
Neidig was the first to address the County Commission at their regular
meeting on Friday, April
21. Niedig’s purpose was
to update local officials on
the statewide mapping
and addressing initiative
currently underway in
West Virginia. He praised
the work of County mapping coordinators Danny
Myers and Paul Bragg.
“Your county is in very
good shape, but we are approaching a critical time,”
the state official explained. He went on to explain that the new software to manage the data
is scheduled to arrive in
the near future and some
duplicate road names remain. Most of the duplications occur within the
municipalities. Niedig
stated that he realized the
county was only responsible for the non-incorporated areas but hoped the
Commission would encourage the municipalities to cooperate with
Myers and Bragg to remove the duplications.
President Terry Frame
stated that the Commission had a work session
planned with the mapping
coordinators and would be
working on the problem
areas.
Gassaway
Mayor
Ritchie Roach thanked
Bragg and Myers for their
effort and work within his
town.
Steve Sanders, general manager of Flatwoods
Canoe Run Public Service
District was on hand to give
the Commission an update
on the various waterline
extension projects that are
underway in the county.
Sanders stated that the
Morrison Ridge Poplar
Ridge project was going
very well and was ahead of
schedule. He stated that
most of the line work was
completed and they were
awaiting the completion of
the tank construction. “We
believe we will have water
in the lines of the new
project by August and that
will be way ahead of schedule.”
“We do not have surplus funds from this
project, but we do have
some extra pipe. We will be
extending a 2” line to approximately eleven customers at the end of
Morrison Ridge on Beamer
Drive,” Sanders explained.
“We will also be adding six
to ten customers in the
Newville area.”
The company official
also stated that his organization had received permission to seek funds to finance waterline extension
in the areas originally projected to be served by the
projects, but eliminated due
to funding restrictions. “I
don’t want to mislead anyone. We are only applying for
funds at this time. It will
depend on what monies are
available. We probably won’t
know anything for several
months,” said Sanders.
He also informed the
Commission that the last of
the Small Cities Block
Grand funds had been
drawn down which would allow the County to apply for
addition money under the
program.
Sanders also told the
Commission that he had
only received one bid to date
for the extension in the
Little Birch area which was
$398,000 not including any
road resurfacing that may
be required. He said he was
still working on means to
get the project within acceptable funding limits.
The Foodland sewer
project is waiting funding,
according to Sanders.
Ed Given and members
of the Sutton Recreation
Association addressed the
Commission regarding prob-
lems associated with
opening the county’s only
public swimming pool.
Given said that his
group’s efforts to obtain
insurance had been futile
after the previous carrier
dropped their coverage
without giving any reason.
Given stated that he had
made his group’s plight
known to Terry Frame
when he requested the
organization be placed on
the Commission’s agenda.
He stated that Frame had
contacted the County’s insurance carrier who had
found an underwriter who
would insure the pool. Following the discussion,
Evelyn Post made a motion
to pay the $2,000 insurance premiumn to allow
the group to use their remaining funds and donations for other necessary
repairs for the facility
which is now over 30
years old. Given thanked
the Commission on behalf
of the Sutton Recreation
Association and the youth
of the community.
Given also reported
the suggestions of the
Braxton County Humane
Society in regard to the
extension of the Animal
Shelter. After discussing
the modifications, Commissioner Post made a
motion to put the labor portion of the addition out for
bid. The Humane Society
has committed over
$10,000 toward materials
County educator, Lou Ann Gaines
publishes new children’s book
Braxton County educator Lou Ann Gaines, a
Glenville State College
graduate and Faculty
Emeriti
Deanna
Foxworthy have just published a new children’s
book.
“The Wild Ride,”
which chronicles the journey of a cast of animal
characters, was released
last month.
Not only does the book
tell a charming tale, it
helps parents and teachers
use the book as a teaching
tool. The back page of the
publication gives adults
tips and techniques on how
to expand the tale into
teachable concepts, such
as teamwork.
“A lot of times, when
parents read books, they
just read the book and
don’t know what else to do
with it,” Foxworthy said.
“This is more educational
than just fluff reading.”
Foxworthy
and
Gaines spent the last six
months working on the
venture. Gaines wrote the
story, while Foxworthy illustrated the pages. The
book is geared for nonreaders or early readers.
“The most challenging aspect was to make
the characters look like
the same characters on
each page,” Foxworthy
said.
Gaines said she’s
been using the tale with
her Head Start students in
Braxton County for 18
years. This book marks
the first time she’s written
the story down.
“I’ve always had a lot
of stories,” Gaines said.
“They’ve been a part of me
forever.”
Gaines, who lives in
Gassaway, has taught in
Braxton County schools for
the past 30 years. She said
that when she was child,
her family kept her entertained with stories and
when she got older, she
kept her younger cousins
entertained with stories
and songs.
Foxworthy, who has
now
retired
to
her
Doddridge County farm,
taught in the Education
and Fine Arts departments
at Glenville State from
Early voting underway
1989-2003. She is an artist, and uses watercolor,
oils and pastels in her
works.
Foxworthy was on
GSC campus April 11 to
speak to students in the
education program. Both
Foxworthy and Gaines
were on campus last
week to sign their book
during GSC’s Book Fair.
“We were just very
pleased that a former faculty member has continued to work in education,” said Dr. Debra
Simon, dean of teacher
education. “We wanted to
bring these women here
to campus to share their
accomplishments and
expertise
with
our
teacher candidates.”
No excuse, early voting began last Wednesday in Braxton
County and throughout the state.
County Clerk John David
Jordan said the turnout to date
is as expected. Officials report
that more and more voters are
taking advantage of the early voting option.
While early and absentee
voting has normally taken place
in the Courthouse, a separate
precincthas been established for
voter convenience. “We believe
the use of the old Fisher Auto Part
building across from the Courthouse on Main Street is more convenient, has easy access and is
private for the voters,” said the
County Clerk.
Voters may cast their Primary Election ballot weekdays between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM. In
addition two special Saturdays,
April 29 th and May 6 th will be
availabe for early voting. The special polling place will be open from
9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on those
two dates.

Dale McCutcheon and
Chris Garrett, Braxton
County Sanitarians appeared before the Commission. McCutcheon presented the Commissioners
with copies of the state law
pertaining to deteriorated
and abandon buildings. He
stated that his department
did not currently have the
ability to deal with such
public nuisace. Following
the discussion, Evelyn Post
stated that she would only
be willing to pass an ordinance that protected individual property owner’s
rights. She proposed having town meetings to discuss the issue and receive
public input. Gassaway
Mayor Ritchie Roach stated
that he would host the first
meeting in his city.
County Humane Officer Joe Brown requested
the county purchase a lawn
mower for use at the Animal Shelter. Brown presented a number of bids
from different local vendors. Following the discussion, Mike Chapman made
a motion to purchase a

A weekly photo of opinion in Braxton County...
sometimes good and sometimes not so good.
By Ed Given
A good person...
The election is just around the corner. As is
noted by an article on this week’s front page, early,
no excuse, voting is now underway. I believe the
early voting has done more to increase voter participation than anything in the last fifty years.
People can vote at their convenience without the
hassle of someone soliciting their vote or otherwise
annoying them. The number of those who participate in the early voting process has increased each
year since legislation authorized the procedure. I
expect this year to be no exception.
Election signs….
The ugly sign of an upcoming election is ever
present… those political signs. I hate them. I
realize they are a part of the electoral process and
in all likelihood, will not disappear any time soon.
However, I still think they are a public nuisance. I
noticed one candidate in particular had attached
their signs to state road signs. Under our state’s
election laws, that is not permissible. Most candidates are pretty good about collecting their signs. In
the past, I have noticed that some of those who lose
may be slow at retrieving their posters. The real
problem lies with the statewide candidates. Who
picks their signs up and when?
Voting machines???
I have stated my skepticism with electronic
voting machines in this space previously. It appears
that some who supported the initiative may now be
joining my side. I read an article that appeared in
this past Sunday’s Gazette Mail titled “Voting machine problems widespread.” It said that millions of
dollars worth of new voting machines sit nonfunctional in courthouse around the state. If the
ones that make them can’t get them to work… what
will hackers and crooked politicians do with them?
The Secretary of State’s office defended what
they termed a temporary setback. The article went
on to say that West Virginia was not the only state
to experience problems with trying to take their
democratic process into the twenty-first century. In
fact it is so bad that some states have filed suite
against the contractor. That can’t be good.
When our county opted to stay with paper
ballots we were shamed by some who though us
non-progressive. The two counties that stayed with
paper ballots are not so dumb after all. I have said
before and will say again, that I realize the problems larger counties face with handing paper
ballots that are often much larger than ours. But
the fact of the matter is… a county our size does
quite well with paper and they are, by far, the most
secure and safest means of casting a vote.
We all know how the electronic age has impacted
our lives. In most cases that has resulted in a positive impact. That certainly is true of my profession.
However, it doesn’t apply to everything and the use of
electronic voting machines is a graphic example.
Those who promote the system can say what they
want, I don’t trust them. I will not vote on a machine
until I have no other choice. I still believe they are
not tamper proof. I can live with the majority ruling
as long as I have reason to believe the majority has
spoken. The use of computers in this process, clouds
that vision. Our very existence as a nation is on the
premise of freedom. I fear that taking our elections to
computers will undermine the very fabric of that
freedom. We can and must have free elections to be a
free nation. Paper ballots served that process for the
last hundred, plus years, It is obvious to me that now
is not the time to change it. It appears this probably is
not the mechanism either.

No sign of leadership for
vital issues involving ALL of us...
Hooray for the Braxton county radio
station broadcasting the County Forum
of the three congressional candidates
gathering at the community building at
Sutton. So if one can’t attend they can
listen to WSGB Tuesday night at 7 PM to
the panel asking questions of the three
candidates running for the US House of
Delegates. Remember Braxton County
has not voted for the Republican candidate for the House. We don’t need a
rubber stamp for more of the same in
Washington. Surely one of the three
seeking this position can go and help
change the direction this country is
going. So listen to their stand on the
policies.
Hands off has been the policy of the
present administration while the prices
of gasoline are wiping us out. One does
not have to be a rocket scientist to see
and know who was in that secret committee meeting Cheney had under the
guise of the United States energy policy.
He refuses to divulge who was there.
Email messages say to blackball a couple
oil companies and their gas stations, but
those advocating this seem to forget that
it would just result in a gas war among
other companies. Isn’t the whole shebang buying from the same source?
Much has been written about West
Virginia getting more than their share of
public monies. My gripe with that is that
WV is a rural state and we get the short
end of the stick on public transportation.
So we find ourselves at the mercy—
where no mercy exists—of the oil companies. The prices at the pump have
caused an inflation of every vital service
including the grocery store.
Enough! Enough! I think I hear the
sound of people saying enough! An
enemy attacked us on the shores of the
United States, but our armed forces ,our
leadership pursued a previous fight a
family had with Iraq and concocted the
story of Iraq having weapons of mass
destruction. The city was taken over
easily and the statue of Hussein pulled
down and basically the city conquered.
But with poor planning and not enough
troops to control the city, the war has
gone on for three years and we are still
fighting there.
The rearranging of the FBI/CIA and
setting up an office of Homeland Security with a leader who told us to use duct
tape and plastic against chemical
warfare really was a joke. Any fire
department can tell you that sealing
with duct tape or plastic was nonsense.
Soon there was a shortage on those
items. The scare tactics of red alerts
was enforced for a while and despite the
continued danger apparently was disbanded. Now with aliens pouring into
the southern borders it is high time the
congress be changed and that they
protect the country they take oaths to
defend.
The administration has been
leaning toward attacking Iran for some
time. With the country in debt to communist countries, dare we start another
war on tainted information? Oh for some
sanity back in the leadership of our
country! Most of us who have lived
through the ups and downs of our country lack confidence in the direction our
country is headed and has gone at this
time. Over the years we have been taught
that the proper way to change the direction of our country is with an election.
The midterm election in May is the
beginning of doing just that. Hopefully you
are properly registered and you will go to
the polls and vote for change.

Dear Editor:
I agree with Gloria
Woods’ article about
Toni. My family and I
(and our church) have
witnessed all the good
things that were done
while she and Randy
were at the Baptist
Temple.
All the love, concern and sacrifices will
never be forgotten.
Randy would drive
to Charleston,
Clarksburg and wherever God called him;
together, he and Toni
could be seen visiting
the sick, the lost and
those on their deathbeds.
Two of the precious
souls that God saved
during Randy’s ministry
were my own Dad, and
my Brother. Randy was
one of my favorite pastors and we pray he
continues his ministry.
Toni stood beside him,
helping him and making
sacrifices of her own.
There were so
many things that were
good. We know, and care,
about everyone who was
hurt in this situation,
and each one is in our
prayers. These are
surely the last days and
Satan seeks to destroy
anyone who is a threat
to him. The church was
growing, and God was
saving souls. Toni and
Randy (as a team) were a
real threat to Satan, and
he tried to destroy them.
But God is still great,
and He is still in control.
He alone knows all the
details, and He can and
will heal.
(Psalm 32:5, 44:21
& 26, 69:16)
P.S. The church will
never be destroyed, the

growing, and God is still
there. We invite you to
join us to hear God’s
precious words of healing, comfort and mercy.
Sincerely,

You both took God’s hand when you heard him call.
Your turned your backs and left it all.
Dad went first and Mom followed behind him,
with a smile and grin.
She always wanted to go and be with her
husband, her best friend, our Dad.
We know they would like us to be happy and
not sad,
But remember them in the life they had just
left behind.
Mom and Dad were married for over 50 years
before
God came and separated them.
Now we know they are together again.
The angels will give them comfort
And watch over them in God’s garden.
Where they can sit, walk and talk together.
Sadly missed by their children,
Airwanda “Dottie” Riffle, Carnie, Darrell and Allen Shaw.

Braxton County, WV
COMMISSION
continued from page 1
Court Room will proceed as
a result of action introduced by Commissioner
Chapman.
Evelyn Post made a
motion to approve the request from the Braxton
County Senior Center to
release funds appropriated
to their agency in the current fiscal year budget.
Purchase of a condensation pump for the old Jail
building was tabled pending
receiving additional bids.
The County agreed to
purchase the radio tower
located on Sugar Creek
PSD property from Fred
Slaughter at a cost of
$4,000.
Commission president Terry Frame stated
that some controversy surrounding a recent appointment to the Sugar Creek
PSD Board had revealed
that the terms of the remaining two members had
also
lapsed.
Mike
Chapman made a motion
to place the vacancies on
a public comment period as
had become the custom of
the Commission. Filling
the positions will be an
item on the agenda of the
Commission’s May 19
meeting.
The Commission discussed a statement from
the West Virginia County
Commissioner’s Association. The charge for dues
had been substanically lowered to $150. Commissioner Mike Chapman
asked “what do we get for
our money?” The only
substative response came
from Terry Frame who said
the group lobbys for things
important to the elected
officials and county. The
Commission took no action
on the payment of the dues
which means the county
will not be a member. The
County does belong to the
West Virginia Association
of Counties.
The Commission reviewed the Bills presented
for payment by the County
Clerk before approving the
same.
Being no further business the meeting adjourned at 11:10 a.m. The
next regular meeting of the
Braxton county Commission will be at 9:00 a.m. on
May 5, 2006.

LETTERS
American Cancer Society,
we would like to thank the
millions of people who give
their time and tireless efforts to many good causes
across the nation and here
in Braxton County, including our organizations. Volunteers impact the community and individuals in
need in ways that would
not be possible without
their personal commitment.
Every day in our com-
munities, American Cancer Society volunteers support, inform and guide
people fighting cancer;
transport patients to treatment appointments; send
strong messages to lawmakers about issues that
matter to people touched by
cancer; and work tirelessly
to raise much-needed donations to fund life-saving
research, cancer prevention and early detection
awareness programs, patient support resources and
other crucial services.
Volunteering truly
does make a difference.
Again, we want to thank all
of those who give their
time and encourage others
to find an organization of
choice to which you can
lend your time and passion.

A special thank you...
Dear Editor:
I was rolling down
Highway 19 on March 29
on my way from Pittsburgh,
PA to Ballengee, WV to visit
a college friend in the
middle of radiation therapy
when I noticed that while
my RPM’s are increasing,
I’m slowing down! It took
me a couple of heartbeats
to figure it out, but when I
ran through all the gears
and realized nothing was
connecting, I drifted over to
the right side of the highway. I felt like I was in the
middle of nowhere… the
back end of my car was under a sign that said “scenic overlook 1 mile, no facilities.” I had no cell
phone signal, so no *SP for
the highway patrol or for
AAA road service.
After about 20 minutes trying to flag someone
to stop, an Allegheny Power
– Fairmont truck, coming
the other way, turned
through a break in the
median and stopped. The
two employees looked my
situation over, tried a few
things, agreed, “the clutch
was gone,” and conferred
about who to call, finally deciding “Pletcher’s garage
would be best.” They called,
explained my situation to
Skeeter, told me someone
would come to get me and
that Skeeter would “take
care of things.” They left.
About 45 minutes
later, Brad arrived from
Pletcher’s Garage in
Gassaway. When we got
there I found that Skeeter
had determined that
Mike’s Garage (Sutton)
could do the repair and
there was also a place
nearby that would rent my
a car so I could get on with
my trip while the car was
being taken care of. Brad
dropped my car at Mike’s
Auto Repair, Sutton, and
took me – after assuring
me that he’s “make sure
everything would be OK
and not to worry” – the
short distance to Elk Valley Preowned Auto and
Rental. There I rented a
car and, after leaving my
contact information at
Mike’s, I was again on my
way to Ballengee.
On
Friday
Mike
called, “the part is in my
hand,” he said, and “we’ve
already dropped the transmission. It looks like rain
for tomorrow, so I’ll be in to
put car back together.” On
Saturday he called and said
it was ready but we decided
I’d stick with my original
plan and pick it up on Tuesday on my way to Pittsburgh, instead of driving an
extra 4 ½ hour roundtrip.
Which is what I did. My
friend since college at the
University of Kentucky 40
years ago is fine as well.
So, a large, relieved
thank you to Richard
Nettles and Suzie Steele at
Elk Valley Auto; Mike and
Linda Thibodeaux and
Tony Barber at Mike’s Auto
Repair; the two Allegheny
Power guys who got the ball
rolling (and whose names
I did not get) and to Skeeter
and Brad at Pletcher
Pontiac – all who took and
extra time and showed the
extra concern to make a
potentially high anxiety
situation into a very well
managed one. Your communities should to be proud
to claim you. I’m certainly
glad to have encountered
you.

Postal services...
Dear Editor:
Please consider printing the following letter to
the editor or guest column.
Many residents in our community, such as homebased businesses and eBay
users, and those who ship
packages and can’t easily
go to the Post Office, would
have interest in this.
It’s easy to mail packages from home or business using Click-N-Ship
and free carrier pickup service.
Many of postal customers – businesses and
residential – ship packages. Whether frequently
or just occasionally, I’d like
to tell you about two very
simply and convenient
postal services we offer via
the Internet. These services are becoming increasingly popular with
Americans, especially
those with small and
home-based internet businesses and those who use
eBay. These convenient
USPS services will save you
time and a trip to the Post
Office.
The first service is
Click-N-Ship. It allows you
to send Express Mail (1-2
day delivery) and Priority
Mail (2-3 day delivery) packages and envelopes using
http://www.usps.com/ and
a credit card. The second
service is Carrier Pickup
Online Service. It allows
you to have your package(s)
picked up free-of-charge by
your letter carrier by using
the Internet the day before.
You can access ClickN-Ship by going to
www.usps.com/clicknship.
Click on “Register Now” and
follow a short, simple registration process. Prepare
your package for mailing
and enter the weight. (You
can use your bathroom
scale, or better yet, purchase a weight scale for a
low price at your local Post
Office, hardware store or
usps.com.)
Choose the mailing
service shipping option and
method of payment. You
will then be able to print
postage-paid shipping labels. Delivery Confirmation service is also free
using Priority Mail service
with
Click-N-Ship.
The last step is even
easier. You can request
free Priority and Express
Mail Carrier Pickup of your
package(s) at your home or
business for the next day
using
the
website
www.usps.com/pickup/. Or
you can give the packages
to your letter carrier; or
take them directly to the
Post Office. Customers are
invited to contact the Post
Office for more information
about these services.
Sincerely,
Robin Taylor
Postmaster of
Napier, WV

Braxton County Memorial
expresses gratitude to Auxilians
Braxton County Memorial Hospital has an
Employee Activities Committee (EAC) that raises
money to assist in the
funding of various activities for BCMH employees.
Two of the biggest events
that take place are hospital week and an annual
Christmas dinner. Our
hospital auxilians are also
instrumental in helping
with some of these activities, whether it be making food for the event or
donating money toward
the event. Recently, the
EAC held a 50/50 drawing
as one of their fund raising endeavors. The lucky
winner
was
Letha
Cantrell, one of the
hospital’s auxilians.
Instead of taking the
money, Letha donated it
Letha Cantrell
back to the EAC. This is
just one of the many examples of how dedicated
and caring the auxilians
of Braxton County Memorial Hospital are. Their
warm greetings as you
enter the hospital are always a way to brighten
even the dreariest of days.
In conjunction with
National Volunteer Week,
BCMH would like to take
this opportunity to thank
Letha for her generous donation and to the rest of
the auxilians who volunteer countless hours of
service to our hospital and
help make this community a better place.

Get ready to dig, Little Birch
Elementary to host plant swap
The annual Flower
Swap held at Little Birch
Elementary School’s pavilion is scheduled for Saturday, May 6th from 9:00
a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
This is an all volunteer event organized by
Sue Clifton, family and
friends. There is no
money to change hands.
The rules are simple:
bring a plant and trade for
another plant! But, because gardeners are a
generous lot, there are
usually more plants to
find a home than to be
traded away! If you’ve
been here before, you’ll
know what we mean. And
if you are just curious,
please plan on coming out
to visit with us.
There will be a sign
up sheet that we are hoping to enhance a bit. We’d
like to help network people
who need help and who can
help (we work pretty cheap
- usually in exchange for
p l a n t s ! )
And there has been some
interest in having a lecture
while we gather. Perhaps
someone might speak on
grafting skills and techniques. But first we have
to find that someone! So,
if you are that person,
please call Sue at 7652994. And if you have any
other questions please
call her or e-mail her at
[email protected].
If you are not aware of the
WV Extension office, and
their services, you might
also be interested in the
Master Gardener Program
which is being offered
this year. Please contact
Debbie
Friend
at
[email protected]
for more information on
the class and schedule.
So mark your calendar,
mark you plants and get
ready to dig! Bring them
on out to the Little Birch
Elementary School pavilion on Saturday, May 6th
from 9:00 to 12:00 and get
ready to go home with
some different plants and
some new friends! It’s a
wonderful time to share
and meet people! Hope to
see you there!

Mt. Washington congregation at 10:00, but just won’t
have to go on to Mt. Hope
at 11:00. (Mt. Hope should
soon have their regular piano player who is soon to
return from Florida, I

the organ repaired and
Sheri-Lyn Sapp plays it. I
like organ music for worship service.

Hi Everyone!
I hope this writing
finds all of you well.
Hasn’t this weather been
gorgeous?
Everyone
here in Gassaway are
mowing their lawns and
planting flowers. My
compliments to my
neighbors, your houses
and lawns all look beautiful. I am very proud of
our little town. When
you
drive
through
Gassaway take a look at
the store fronts. Each
business owner does a
great job in keeping
them looking neat and
clean. Their window displays look great! Have
you seen the window displays at the Senior Center? They are always a
treat.
We have a new store
in town. It is owned and
operated by Larry and
Lilly Helmick, who also
have L&L Music Shop. In
the new shop, you will
find all of your quilting
and craft supplies as well
as some unique gifts.
She also carries fabric
for those of you who sew.
I wish I could do that! I’m
afraid I’m not very creative. So, stop by and
check out this wonderful
addition to our town.
The
town
of
Gassaway has many activities coming up this
spring. Mayor Roach
tells me that there will

him know if you are going to participate, so that
they may create a map
for those attending the
sales.
May 8-12 is Clean
up Days in Gassaway.
Please call the Mayor’s
Office if you have items
that need to be picked
up. No appliances, furniture, or mattresses
will be taken this year.
Please mark your calendars for these events!
Keep in mind that
Gassaway Days is June
29, 30 and July 1 st this

I recently took a
drive to Sutton. I used
the “short cut”, as we lo-

cals call it.
I went
through Cutlip Fork onto
Tiffany Jackson Drive
and over to Sutton. This
is where the Braxton
County Animal Shelter
is located. I must tell
you that I was extremely
disturbed by all of the
garbage along this road.
Computer
monitors,
tires, and just common
everyday trash. What
are people thinking? Littering is against the law.
This really saddens me,
because this road was
named for a very beautiful young lady who was
very dear to me. I can
remember Tiffany, her
brother, Tyler and her
parents walking along
that road, picking up garbage
every
spring.
Teresa Jackson was telling me that one of her
neighbors had worked
very hard picking up all
of the garbage and only a
few days later it was
trashed up again.
I
know this problem is not
exclusive to Tiffany
Jackson Drive. As I
have told you, Phil and I
take drives on these
lovely days, and we see
this as a problem everywhere. Garbage has a
proper place. Let’s all do
our part to keep it there.
I’m sure that if we keep
reminding everyone that
it will make a difference. Let’s keep our
county clean and beautiful.
Get well wishes to
three year old, Kolton
Hoffman of Elkview, who
broke his arm. Get well
soon!
Belated Happy Anniversary wishes to Jim
& Louise Simmons celebrating 60 years. Congratulations!

Happy Birthday to
all of you!!!!
It deeply saddens
me to say that our children have lost another
classmate. Our county
has lost so many young
people in the last couple
of years. This tragedy
will not soon be forgotten
by anyone. Our entire
community is mourning
the loss of this beautiful
young lady. Please keep
the family of Meredith
Pingley in your prayers
and pray for the speedy
recovery of her sister,
Marinda.
Our deepest sympathy is extended to the
families of Meredith
Pingley, Leslie Dodge,
Clara Given, Louella
Shaw, Jacqueline Carpenter,
and
Becky

members attend State
Garden Club Convention
met March 16 at the home
of Mary Martin. Joanne
opened the meeting with
the reading of the minutes
by Esta Marie. Bonnie gave
the treasurer’s report.
Donations were made
to the Nature Conservancy
$25, the Botanical Garden
$25 and a check went to
Sarah for the Blue Star Memorial that our club is getting erected, at the south
side of Burnsville for
$235.00.
Three people went to
the State Garden Club Convention at Tamarack.
They were Mary Martin,
Agnes Sigley and Esta
Marie Brown. Agnes reported on the evergreen
seedlings. She contacted
the Forest Service about a
Red Bud tree. At this time
none were available. So
she talked to a Forester
from Preston County. He
will check on one for us.
We will sort and
package the seedlings at
Mary’s house April 13
and deliver to the
schools. There was more
discussion on where to
plant the Redbud tree. It
was moved, seconded and
carried that we plant it
at the hospital. Karen
reported that she had
taken the pots of spring

She is the Water Quality
Supervisor from Upshur
County. It was a very interesting and educational lecture. The earth is 75%
water and 97% of that is
salt water. That leaves
3% to be used as drinking water. There are several stages of cleaning
and treating water to be
used for drinking. After
the water goes through
the several stages to kill
disease causing bacteria, parasites and viruses, then only 1% on
the planet is safe to
drink.
We then adjourned

Lady Eagles sweep doubleheader
with North Carolina team
Braxton’s
Lady
Eagles took both games
of the April 15 doubleheader against J.F. Webb
(NC).
Behind the pitching
of senior Kayla Cochran,
Braxton won the first
game 11-6 and the second 8-6. Cochran recorded eight strikeouts
in the first game and
four in the second.
Freshman Bethany
Frame led the Eagles’
hitting with 2 hits in 4
at-bats. She also scored
2 runs. Also batting .500
with a 1 for 2 performance
was
Jennie
Tonkin, another freshman. Braxton’s 8 runs in
the second game came
on four hits.
The day before the
doubleheader, the Eagles
lost, 2-1, “a game which
could’ve gone either
way,” according to coach
Tim Huffman, to Roane
County. Huffman explained that all three
runs were earned, and
that there were no errors
in the game. Tonkin led
Braxton’s hitters as she
went 2 for 3. Cochran
struck out 8.
During
spring
break, the Eagles shut
out Gilmer 6-0, lost 6-4
to Wirt, and went down
12-3 to Lincoln.
Braxton’s 6 runs
against Gilmer came on
8 hits from 7 different
batters. Leading the
Braxton offense was jun-
ior Maddie Johnson, who
went 2 for 4 on the afternoon and scored one of
Braxton’s runs. Cochran,
who struck out 4 in the
win, contributed offensively with 2 RBIs on a
single.
Of the 6-4 loss to
Wirt, Coach Huffman
stated simply, “We gave
them the game. They
had five unearned runs.
Braxton’s jv team, behind the pitching of
Brianna Utt, did win

their game.
Shelley Hawkins
put in a 4 for 4 performance at the plate in the
Eagles’ 12-3 loss to Lincoln on Thursday. Also
hitting
well
were
Tonkin, who went 2 for
3, Frame at 2 for 4, and
McGraw, 2 for 4. Braxton
had 12 hits in the loss to
Lincoln, but, according to
their coach, “couldn’t
put the hits together to
drive in the runs they
needed.”
Frame, 2 for 3, led
the junior varsity team
in a 4-0 win over
Lincoln’s jv squad. Utt
was the winning pitcher
in that game.
After
hosting
Richwood yesterday afternoon, the Eagles will
play in the LKC championship on Thursday. On
Friday, Braxton plays at
Lewis County and on
Saturday they travel to
Richwood for their last
regular-season game.

Baseball team downed by
Lincoln, Wirt and Gilmer
“We were in three of
the four games we played
last week,” Braxton baseball coach Bill Morlan
stated after his team’s
losses to Wirt, Lincoln, and
Gilmer. In a doubleheader
against Wirt, the Eagles led
2-1 going into the third inning, Morlan explained,
but, he said, “Then they
just fell apart.” In the second game against Wirt,
Braxton led 1-0 going into
the third and gave up only
one run in that inning.
Then, in the fourth, the
errors took over again. Wirt
won the first game 13-3.
In that game, Braxton
shortstop Josh Ramsey hit
the Eagles’ first homer of
the season, while Jamie
Poling and Aaron Ridler
each picked up two hits.
Pitching for Braxton were
Poling and Christopher
Shuman.
After the 7-3 loss to
Lincoln, Coach Morlan
stated, “I thought we were
going to get them, but the
Eagles’ 5 errors and 4 consecutive walks did us in.”
All seven of Lincoln’s runs
were unearned.
Once again, Poling
and Shuman were on the
mound for the Eagles.
Morlan did say of the game,
“This was by far the best
game we played all year.”
Gilmer shut out the
Eagles 10-0 on Friday.
Braxton was hampered in
this game because the
coaches could not use four
of their pitchers because of
sore arms. The Eagles’ hitting was also off in this
game.
Braxton began this
week at Clay on Monday.
On Wednesday, the Eagles
play a doubleheader at
Grafton; game times are 3
p.m. and 6 p.m. A home
game against Roane
County is scheduled for
Thursday, and the Eagles
will host Liberty of
Harrison on Friday. That
game is set for 6 p.m.

WV 3300409 & WV 3300402
April 4, 2006
Why am I receiving this report?
In compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments,
the Flatwoods-Canoe Run PSD is providing its customers with this
annual water quality report. This report explains where your water
comes from, what it contains and how it compares to standards set by
regulatory agencies. The information in this report shows the results
of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st,
2005 and/or other test results if test period is not on a yearly cycle.
If you have any questions concerning this report, you may contact
Rodney Pritt, Plant Manager, Monday through Friday (7:30 AM - 4:00
PM) @ 304-765-2300. If you have any further questions, comments
or suggestions, please attend any of our regularly scheduled board
meetings held on the 3rd Wednesday of every month at 1:30 PM in the
Flatwoods-Canoe Run PSD Office on the East End of Main Street in
Sutton, WV.
Where does my water come from?
Your water source is surface water from the Elk River, just below
Sutton Dam.
Source Water Assessment
A Source Water Assessment was conducted in 2003 by the
West Virginia Bureau for Public Health, (WVBPH). The intake that
supplies drinking water to Flatwoods-Canoe Run PSD has a higher
susceptibility to contamination, due to the sensitive nature of surface
water supplies and the potential contaminant sources identified within
the area. This does not mean that this intake will become contaminated;
only that conditions are such that the surface water could be impacted
by a potential contaminant source. Future contamination may be avoided
by implementing protective measures. The source water assessment
report which contains more information is available for review or a
copy will be provided to you at our office during business hours or
from the WVBPH 304-558-2981.

MCL - Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of
contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as
close to the MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment
techniques.
MRDLG - Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal, or the
level of drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known
or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect benefits of
use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants.
MRDL - Maximum Residual Detection Level, or the highest level
of disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing
evidence that addition of disinfectant is necessary to control
microbial contaminants.
AL - Action Level, or the concentration of contaminant which,
when exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which
a water system must follow.
TT - Treatment Technique, or required process intended to
reduce the level of contaminant in drinking water.

SUGAR CREEK PSD UPDATE
This update concerns the following matters, that we at
the District felt should be addressed:
1. Proposed Wilsie-Rosedale water line extension:
The District has been informed that the project has
been recommended to pursue funding by the WV
Infrastructure and Jobs Development Council and/or
ARC grant and other avenues. The grant money is
vital, as the project cannot proceed without the
proper funding. Dunn Engineering has been hired
by the District as the engineering firm to design the
project. The project consists of 12.5 miles of 6"
pipe and 5 miles of 2" pipe, along with a 100,000
gallon storage tank, one pump station and fire
hydrants to be installed on the 6" main line to serve
approximately 175 new customers. There will also
be mandated updates to the existing water
treatment plant. This is a proposed $6.5 million
project. Dunn Engineering has proposed an
increase of $2.60 per month on the existing
minimum bill.
2. As further explanation to existing water customers
concerning the public notice you recently received,
the Haloacetic Acids levels were elevated due to
insufficient data that was used by the Public Health
Department to determine our compliance. We
reported to you that the average level of Total
Haloacetic Acids in the year 2005 was 95.7 UG/L.
The standard is 60 UG/L. Our level for the first
quarter of 2006 was 12.8 UG/L and we are in
compliance with the Health Department. This is a
nationwide problem with any utility that uses
chlorine as a disinfection agent.
3. We would ask that any of our existing customers
with swimming pools, please notify the District 24
hours prior to filling your pool. We also ask that
you only fill pools during operating hours.
As always, Sugar Creek PSD is working diligently to
provide you with the best water possible. Our Board of
Directors meet on the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 7
PM at the Water Plant. All meetings are open to the
public. The Wilsie Rosedale Waterline Association,
which is a private group of citizens that are working
with the District to acquire water service within their
area, meet on the 1st Thursday of each month at 7 PM
at the Frametown Fire House. If there are any
questions or comments pertaining to the District, you
may call Chris Floyd, District Manager, at the plant at
364-8619. Business hours for Sugar Creek Public
Service District are 7 AM through 3 PM, Monday
through Friday.
