Jeff Moyers set up a wildlife camera on his property, hoping to capture pictures of coyotes or bobcats, perhaps even a bear.
He was successful in getting a few coyote pictures. No bobcats, yet. But he recently captured this bald eagle and several
golden eagles on film. Eagles migrate following seasonal food supplies. Because they are generally fish-eaters, as streams
and rivers freeze, the eagles must fly south to find open water. The mild winter is probably why the eagles are still in Hardy
County.
Local Law Enforcement Investigates Crimes
•Sometime during the late hours
of Saturday, Jan. 21 or Sunday, Jan.
22, the Crest Hill Church on Route
259 outside Wardensville had four
windows shot out with a .22 caliber
firearm.
The Hardy County Sheriff’s
Office is conducting a thorough
investigation to find the identity of
the person or persons responsible.
Extensive damage was done inside
the church as a result of this vandalism. Anyone with information should
call the Sheriff’s office at 304-5300222.
•A Moorefield resident received
a call from the “US Government
Grants Department” informing her
that she qualified for a $7,600 grant.
All she had to do was go to a Western
Union location, pay $199 and the
grant along with the $199 would be
WVDNR Announces
Public Meetings on
Proposed Regulations
The West Virginia Division of
Natural Resources (DNR) will hold
12 public meetings across the state to
provide hunters, trappers, anglers,
landowners and other interested parties an opportunity to review and
comment on proposed 2012 hunting
regulations for white-tailed deer,
black bear, wild turkey and boar, proposed 2013-2014 general hunting and
trapping regulations, and proposed
2013 fishing regulations. These meetings will be held on March 12 and
March 13 from 6 - 8 p.m., and the
public is encouraged to attend.
“The public meetings have been
designed to use an ‘Open House’ format,” said DNR Director Frank
Jezioro. “This informal meeting
style allows people to attend at their
convenience during the scheduled
meeting times, learn of proposed regulation changes, discuss these proposals with wildlife and fisheries biologists and Natural Resource Police
Officers and comment on the proposed regulations and other wildliferelated issues.”
As in the past, written comments
from the public on these proposed
hunting, trapping and fishing regulations will also be encouraged. The
deadline for written comments is
April 6, 2012.
The meeting in this area will be

Wardensville Hires New Police Officer,
Gets Grant to Fight Drug Abuse
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
When Alicia Sanders saw an
advertisement for a police officer in
Wardensville, she jumped at the
chance to put her college education
to work in her home town.
Sanders was sworn in as Wardensville’s newest police officer on
Monday, Feb. 13 during the regular
meeting of the town council.
Sanders graduated from East
Hardy High School in 2002 and
majored in Criminal Justice at
Shenandoah College. She has been
working at loss prevention in Martinsburg since her graduation in
2007.
“I grew up in Wardensville, was
even a life guard at the pool,”
Sanders said. “I am looking forward
to working in Wardensville.”
Sanders is the daughter of Don-

Moorefield Town Clerk Phyllis
Sherman wasn’t happy when a Maryland company came to the council to
introduce themselves and ask if they
could bring their business to the
vacant American Woodmark facility.
“I will organize my neighbors against
it,” she told two representatives from
Hub Scrap Metals.
Vice President Anton Dahbura
and Vice President of Sales Ryan
Stottlemyer of Hub Scrap Metals
appeared before the Moorefield
Council at their regular meeting held
Tuesday, Feb. 7.
Hub Scrap Metals LLC is a scrap
metal processor that demolishes and
recycles heavy construction equipment. They are currently located in
Hagerstown, Md, and want to open a
second facility in Moorefield.
According to Dahbura, they have an
agreement with American Woodmark to purchase the property contingent on approval by the Moorefield Council.
Dahbura described the business
as a “modern type of metal recycling.”
Stottlemyer said the company
purchases large equipment from con-
tractors and farmers, cuts the equipment to size and ships to steel mills.
There it is melted down and used to
make more steel.
“Our goal is not to collect the
metal,” Dahbura said. “Our goal is to
move it.”
The company recycles ferrous
and nonferrous metals. Dahbura said
they plan to employ five to 10 people
initially with average salaries of
$40,000 with benefits.
Stottlemyer said the company was
very interested in the American
Woodmark facility because of its size
and the railroad siding.
“We ship by truck, but also by rail
car,” he said. “We might demolish
some of the smaller buildings on the
property to make room for a recycling yard.”
Most of the council members
were more receptive than Sherman.
“We are very pro-recycling,” said
Councilman Steve Wilson.
“We are very pro-jobs,” said
Councilwoman Carol Zuber.
Dahbura said the company was
very family oriented.
“My son started the business
three years ago,” he said. “We are a
family business and want to make a
positive impact on the community.”

Chief Brad Dyer will have some additional resources at their disposal in
their fight against prescription drug
abuse, thanks to the Hardy County
Community Foundation. HCCF
Board Chairman Pat Ford presented
the Wardensville Police Department
with a $2,500 grant.
According to Dyer, the grant will
be used to purchase free prescription
drug lock boxes for Wardensville’s
senior citizens as well as surveillance
equipment.
“There have been a few instances
here with people breaking in to elderly people’s homes looking for
drugs,” Dyer said. “I will be going

OPINION
Congratulations are in order
Two weeks ago the Pendleton Times wrote that the Board
of Education in that county had recognized six students from
the North Fork Elementary School for their achieving distinguished status on the WESTEST 2 given last spring.
Amazing, the whole 11th grade at East Hardy High
School ranked first in the state in WESTEST 2 math scores.
They not only didn’t get congratulated, instead they were
investigated for their high scores.
Hardy County’s Board of Education has yet to acknowledge publicly what those students accomplished. In fact,
they also have yet to apologize to them for questioning the
scores. Particularly when the state officials found that the
scores were not only legitimate, but that teacher David Rudy
had done an outstanding job of educating students how to
figure out the problems.
On top of this, didn’t we read somewhere that East Hardy
High School was the only school in the county to be accorded
the AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) designation?
Come on, Board of Education, give credit where credit is
due. Or is it too much to ask?
We hope not and we hope these youngsters, their teaching
staff and administrators are given proper recognition.
It might help getting support from that section of the
county for the proposed bond issue, because we can tell you
they are not happy about the treatment received from the
Hardy County Board of Education.
MY UNBASED OPINION
February 10, 2010 my published
BY
column concerned loss and discovery
DAVID O.
of old Jeep’s keys. Last week I lost
them again. Hope this doesn’t become
HEISHMAN
a regular two year occurrence.
I think it was Tuesday afternoon, I
missed them. Dug in my pocket and
found only one key ring where usually
there are two and sometimes three. A
general big ring has keys to my life
except vehicles. Home, farm and office, doors and padlocks all open with it.
Second ring is Old Jeep plus a couple other things I use regularly with it.
That’s the one I lost.
I checked all the places I usually lay things in my hand while I do something else. Beside my computer, beside my place at the kitchen table, beside
my recliner in the library, nothing. I got my spare key and checked inside Jeep
where I’ve locked them up several times. Nothing. I checked passenger side
door and back door locks where I’ve left them hang a time or two. Nothing.
Time to get serious about my search.
I told folks at the Examiner office about my stupidity. They flew into
action. Fifty questions about where I’d been and what I’d done. Kathy Bobo
called every place in town I’d been on errands and mailing newspapers Tuesday morning. Peggy Wratchford looked through the back shop and my printing area. Others searched their offices where I’d passed through. Nothing.
I searched the van I’d driven that morning, floorboards, under a box
between the seats, in dash pockets. Thought about calling the Sheltered
Workshop in Romney where I’d loaded Examiners that morning about five oclock, but it was getting too late for sensible folks to be available by then.
Wednesday morning I dumped the dirty clothes hamper and checked
every pocket. Rummaged through the trash for the McDonalds bag I’d
brought home Monday evening. Through hard thinking I’d realized last time
I definitely remembered having them in my hand was when I ran errands in
Old Jeep Monday evening and since I’d parked it in my usual place and it was
locked up without keys in it, they had to be around home someplace.
Maybe somebody stole them. Maybe I’d dropped them, somebody found
them and kept them. I stripped everything valuable out of Old Jeep in case
somebody opened her up, jumped in and drove away with my goodies. I was
contemplating a new switch for Jeep and a new back door lock for the Examiner.
In the midst of a head slapping, stupidity admitting conversation about my
loss in the Examiner offices, Peggy walked in, my keys dangling from her finger. Big grin like you’d just want to bash her for. Nothing better than cleaning up after the Old Smart A—. She’d found them in van seat, stuck down
beside the seat belt socket. Guess they’d pulled out when I got coffee change
or something else Tuesday morning. Relief.
Vehicles newer than Old Jeep have keys with a push button fob that lets
you lock and unlock vehicles remotely. When you forget where you parked
at Walmart you can push the button and your car will beep and blink. Most
vehicles I drive don’t have this nicety, so I always try to abandon my vehicle
in same general area as near as possible to a shopping cart return. That cuts
down on my search area.
I want vehicle keys that beep and blink. A push on the locked driver’s side
door handle button and my keys start beeping. Then all I’ll have to do is get
close and keys will announce their presence. Whether they are stuck in a seat
crack or in a thief’s pocket, their beeping will help me find them. I want the
same sort of system that helps me find the wireless house phone extension
under a stack of Phoebe’s newspapers when I push a locator button on the
base set. If keys start beeping in my pocket then I’ll know somebody is fooling with my car, wherever it’s parked.
For that matter, why isn’t somebody selling button sized receiver/beepers
attachable to all sorts of possessions with an accompanying pocket sized
transmitter on which you can select the item you need to locate and beep it?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
Pants on the ground, pants on the
ground...
In response to the article in Wed.
Feb 15th issue of the Moorefield
Examiner, I still believe no one took
the time to look into this situation
before taking the word of Richard
Hamilton along with the other members who pleaded to the commission
that the squad needed this money or
they will need to close their doors the
next day. The financial report evidently shows the squad had about
$146,000 dollars in their account
before receiving the money from the
Hardy County tax payers. Seems like
plenty of time for the commission to
make such a drastic decision.
Also something else I can’t grasp
is why the financial records are not
kept separate between the Hardy and
Grant county businesses. They had
more than enough time to separate
these reports for the commission.
The article states the “two counties are combined for financial purposes,” which only tell the citizens of
Hardy County that our tax dollars
went to a Grant County business.
Another question is out of the
$300,000 given to the squad, why
wasn’t any of that money given to the
billing company which is supposed to
be holding funds for MBRS until that
bill is paid?
Commissioner Keplinger states
he understood it was about $500,000
worth of billing if the squad would
pay this bill.
Another question I have and
believe the community deserves the
answers to, is that for 1 month give or
take there were $297,000 in expenses
for the squad....for what and for
whom did this money go?
I understand there are expenses,
just seems like a lot of them when the
numbers don’t add up. Be interesting
if we can find out what they are for.
Commissioner Wade asked
MBRS to give the county some warning “if you are unable to continue”
and Commissioner Teets stated “we
don’t want to get caught with our
pants down like we were before.”
Mr. Commissioners I have a feel-
ing you might as well “drop’em” to
the floor again.
Seems like the directors of the
squad have not been up front about
this situation since this story came
out. Don’t know why it’ll change anytime soon.

OK, we have to share this one
with you. Jay Simmons sent us a
story from the Charleston Gazette
reporting that a law firm in that city
was giving away a free divorce for
Valentine’s Day. Seems to us that’s a
bit of an oxymoron -divorce and
Valentine - but then what do we
know. Applicants had to present “the
most compelling story as to why they
deserved a free divorce.” We don’t
know what a Charleston law firm
charges for a divorce, but when we
read the limits, it looked to us that it
wouldn’t take much in the way of
paperwork or time. The free divorce
was “limited to an uncontested, no-

it was a heck of a way for that firm to

You know how something you ate
made you sick and you can’t stand
the sight or taste of it ever again?
Well, it seems wildlife folks who want
to help bring the Mexican gray
wolves back into the Southwest have
come up with a similar idea to protect beef cattle. They are feeding the
wolves with beef that has been laced
with an odorless, tasteless medication
that will make them ill and hopefully
kill their appetite for livestock. We
will wait with baited taste buds to see
if this works. Wonder if that would
also work with coyotes or cougars or
any other predators? We also wonder
if they could be on to something that
might help people lose weight.

Teens Learn About Health and Safety at Street Fair
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
Since middle school students
aren’t old enough to drive and have
little concern for the texting while
driving problems of their older counterparts, the Teen Safety Street Fair
held Thursday, Feb. 6, had a “Texting
While Walking” component where
students tried to walk on a path while
texting. The results were funny, but
demonstrated the tragic outcome if
they were behind the wheel.
The street fair, held at Moorefield Middle School, was sponsored
by the Family, Community, Career
Leaders of America and Women in
Leadership Development. It focused
on six areas of teen safety - mental
health, destructive decisions, teen sex
health, tobacco, sun safety and distracted driving. The fair coincided
with National FCCLA Week, Feb. 12
- 18.
FCCLA is a national student
organization that helps young men
and women become leaders and
address important personal, family,
work, and societal issues through
Family and Consumer Sciences education. It was founded in 1945 as the
Future Homemakers of America.
The name was changed in 1999.
“Mr. McGregor (MMS Principal)
and Stephanie Simmons (Special
Education teacher) suggested we
organize an event to promote teen
safety,” said Mary Catherine Slack,
Family and Consumer Science
teacher at MMS. “We came up with
the six areas as well as a slogan for
the event.”
The slogan - Safety Scores Destructive Decisions Foul Out, also
coincided with a rivalry basketball
game between MMS and East Hardy
Early Middle School held during
school hours. “It gives kids who can’t
come to after-school games a chance
to have that experience,” said Principal Pat McGregor.
To highlight mental health, the
FCCLA chapter chose “To Write
Love on Her Arms,” a non profit
movement dedicated to presenting
hope and finding help for people
struggling with depression, addiction,
self-injury and suicide. Students were
asked to write their biggest fear and
their biggest dream on a sheet of
paper. The anonymous declarations
were hung for all to see.
MMS is starting a Students
Against Destructive Decisions
(SADD) chapter and allowed students to experience drunk or buzzed
driving. They were given a pair of
special glasses that mimicked
drunk/buzzed driving and then tried
to drive a pedal-powered go-cart in a
straight line.
Teen sex health section included
an abstinence pledge and provided
information such as “101 Ways to
Make Love Without Doing It.”
“The message is that abstinence is
the only 100 percent effective way to
prevent sexually transmitted diseases
and pregnancy,” Slack said.
Teenagers against tobacco have
been working with The Raze Chapter, sponsored by the National Junior
Honor Society at MMS. They are
helping to organize a chapter at
Moorefield High School.
Raze is not an acronym. It means
to tear down or destroy, hence the
tag line “Tear Down Tobacco Lies.”
The group organizes anti-tobacco
activities and messages.
Various activities to promote sun
safety were popular at the fair. A race
to don a hat, shirt and sunscreen garnered the participants a free pair of
sunglasses. A booth that showed sun
damage on students’ faces was wellliked.
The texting while walking activity
was sponsored by Act Out Loud, a
promotion by the National Office of
Youth Safety, to show how texting is
distracting, whether walking or driving.
Students from Moorefield High
School and East Hardy High School
were on hand to help with the street
fair. EHHS 10th-graders Maria
Mullin and Alisa Decker were helping at the teen sex health booth.
“FCCLA has helped me with
talking in front of people,” Mullin
said. “It shows us fun ways to reach
people.”
Mullin and Decker were instrumental in bringing the Infant Simulator to EHHS. The “infants” are lifelike dolls and force teenagers to
respond to their “crying” like having
a real baby.
“We’ve seen what having a child
while still in school has done to other
teens,” Decker said.
Mullin and Decker will present
their project to judges at the FCCLA
State Convention scheduled for May
and will hopefully go on to the
national convention.
The street fair was made possible
through a grant from the AmberVision Project, a photo registry of children that will be helpful to authorities if they are ever abducted.
“Kids have access to many more

their age,” McGregor said. “Our Below: Special goggles allow students to see the dangers of drunk

of these situations early, they will
make better choices down the road.
Our other goal is to get more parents
involved in school activities.”
McGregor also thanked MHS
Principal Avery Anderson and
EHHS Principal Brad Simmons for
allowing their students to help with
the fair. “FCCLA is a countywide
program,” Slack said.
The rivalry basketball game visited EHEMS on Feb. 14 and the
Teen Safety Street Fair will be duplicated at Moorefield High School on
Wednesday, Feb. 22.

WHEREAS, it hath pleased our Heavenly Father in His infinite
wisdom and power to call our sister and fellow Ruritan member
JoAnne H. Webster home to His eternal presence;
WHEREAS, she professed a hope in Christ and was an active and
regular supporter of her church, family, and community;
WHEREAS, she was a tireless supporter and volunteer in her
community and was a loyal and faithful person who served her
fellow man with ideals and goals of making that community a
better place;
WHEREAS, not only is this a loss of a devoted mother, wife, and
champion of improving the human condition, but also a friend, and
a person who was always available to share an encouraging word,
do what she thought needed to be done, and demonstrate strong
support to those in need;
WHEREAS, the passing of our sister in Christ is the will of God
and there is a human tie that has been broken which bleeds the heart
in agony and pain, though we are encouraged and consoled in the
words of Jesus who said, “I will never leave thee nor forsake thee”;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we, the members of the
Mathias Ruritan Club do bow to His holy will and embrace the
common bond that connects all men in faith, love, and service to

According to county voter registration rolls, there are 170 voters in
Wardensville and it costs the town
approximately $1,500 to hold an election.
Sayers said he will check with the
Secretary of State’s office to see if the
changes can be made according to
the town charter and report back to
council.
“I think it’s a good idea,” said
Councilman Mike Funkhouser. “It
might get more people to vote in
town elections.”
Councilman David Twedt agreed.
Funkhouser asked if council’s
salaries could be reviewed as well.
Sayers said he would call around
to other towns and inquire as to what
they paid their council.

preservation of physical evidence.
The deputies were certified in

Public Works
Other Business
Scott Combs appeared before the
council to inquire as to why he had
been terminated. Combs mows the
levee during the spring, summer and
fall.
“Our decision was to put that job
out for bid,” said Mayor Gary Stalnaker. “You can bid on it like anyone
else.”
When Combs asked what the
requirements of the job were, Stalnaker said they hadn’t been decided
yet.
A request for bid appeared in the
Moorefield Examiner that indicated
the successful bidder may have use of
the town’s mower. According to Public Works Director Lucas Gagnon,
the mower is specially designed to
mow on a slope, but needs repair.
Councilman Doug Mongold
moved the mower be repaired. The
motion was approved.
Gagnon also circulated specifications for the mowing contract and
asked the council to review and comment. He said mowing on the levee
needs to begin in April.
•Council approved a Special
Exception to the Subdivision Ordinance submitted by Dean Hiser.
Hiser wanted to be exempt from
installing sidewalks in his community.
•The council voted to approve
the Planning Commission Amendment, which aligns the Moorefield
Planning Commission with state
statute.
•The council approved a request
by Yvonne Williams, representing
the Board of Education, to hang a
banner from the old hotel at the corner of Winchester and Main streets.
The banner would be in support of
passage of the school bond.
•The council voted to pay two
invoices for the Moorefield Hardy
County Wastewater Authority which
totaled $10,565.09. The invoices were
approved by the authority for payment.
The next meeting of the Moorefield Council will be held on Tuesday,
Feb. 21 at 7 p.m. Meetings are held at
the town office, 206 Winchester Ave.
in Moorefield. The public is invited
to attend.
Recycler Wants
He invited members of the council to visit the Hub Scrap facility in
Hagerstown.
Building Inspector Brian Wolfe
said the company would have to go to
the Moorefield Planning Commission. The property is currently zoned
Industrial, but there is nothing in any
of the town’s zoning regulations that
permits a scrap metal business. Hub
Scrap would have to apply for a Conditional Use permit.
Police Report
Moorefield Police Chief Steve
Reckart reported the department
responded to a total of 339 calls in
January.
“I mention that because the 911
center said we responded to 233 calls,
137 of which were traffic stops,” he
said. “The difference is the number
of people who call our office directly
or who come to the door. We have a
lot of traffic in the front door.”

Law Enforcement
Reckart said each MPD officer
keeps a daily log and he totaled the
calls from those logs. “People are
more likely to approach an officer
than to call 911, because we’ve established a level of trust in the community,” he said.
Reckart also reported the department received new bulletproof vests
through a grant. The grant has a
50/50 match.
The MPD Charger struck a deer
and was damaged. “It was not totaled
and will be repaired,” he said.
The MPD along with the Hardy
County Drug Task Force made some
drug arrests recently and has confiscated televisions, video games and
cash. When the perpetrators are convicted, the Drug Task Force can keep
the cash and sell the electronics
under the state’s forfeiture law,
Reckart said. “Just when we think
we’ve made a dent in the drug problem, another place pops up.”
Reckart said the police vehicles
are now connected to Wifi and it
works very well. “It’s faster service
than at the office,” he said.
The Hardy County Chamber of Commerce
would like to recognize the wonderful
sponsors of the HCC’s 3rd Annual Meeting.
Thank you for your continued support of
the HCC and for making business great

I thought of you yesterday

I think of you in silence,
and often speak your name.
All I have are memories
and your picture in a frame.
Your memory is my keepsake,
with which I will never part.

Shawna M. Crites
Candidate for Magistrate of
Hardy County
Hello, my name is Shawna M. Crites, and I am seeking
election to the position of Magistrate of Hardy County. From
January 1990 until March 30, 2011, I was the Magistrate
Assistant to Daniel M. Poling. After Magistrate Poling retired,
the Honorable Judge Donald H. Cookman appointed me to
fulfill the position of Magistrate. For over 21 years, I have
served the citizens of Hardy County as Magistrate Assistant
and I have truly enjoyed meeting and working with each and
every one of you.
I grew up and went to school in Hardy County with the love
and support of my parents, Shirley Helman Crites and Lemuel
Steven Crites. My parents taught me over the years that hard
work, dedication, and respect for others are the most
important values a person can have. I graduated from
Moorefield High School in 1984 as Shawna M. Helman and
married Rodney M. Crites of Rig, WV. Rodney and I have been
married for 27 years and we have one daughter, Raven. Raven
is married to George Hoke of Rio, WV. He is currently in the Air
Force and they reside in Florida with our granddaughter,
Saydee. Rodney and I attend Rig Assembly of God Church.
I did not attend college until I was in my thirties. At that
time, I enrolled at Shepherd College in Petersburg, WV. I
attended classes in Petersburg, Martinsburg, and Romney, WV.
I have taken several college courses in Criminal Justice and
Juvenile Delinquency and attended Magistrate Assistant and
Magistrate training through the West Virginia Supreme Court.
For over 21 years, I have served the citizens of Hardy
County and have tried to do so with respect and
fairness. I loved my position as Magistrate Assistant and
I love being a Magistrate who serves the people of Hardy
County. I am asking each and every citizen of Hardy
County for your support and to vote for me, Shawna M.
Crites for Magistrate of Hardy County.
A magistrate that is EXPERIENCED, DEDICATED,
AND FAIR.

THE HARDY HERITAGE
I’ve had a most interesting week
of research and feedback about
recent articles. One reader, who I
greatly respect for his breadth of
knowledge of local history, said I was
jumping from one topic to another to
often. I readily agreed with him, but
there is some method in my madness.
If one family, one incident, or one
topic has little interest for you, keep
on reading, because like the weather,
it will be changing soon.
I am going to continue with a few
more documents surrounding Jackson’s activities in the Valley in the
winter of 1861-62 because it will provide insight into the issue behind the
actual campaigns and battles of the
war. It will also give some insight into
lesser known commanders of the War
in our area, like General Loring who
lobbied against Jackson’s order to
keep him at Romney during the winter. Last week I reprinted the Fulkerson letter which supported Loring.
This week I’ll provide a few more
communications, and then the outcome of the whole squabble.
I feel compelled to mention that
on Wednesday I received a most
informative phone call from a young
man in Hardy County who still hears
the guns and smells the powder of
the Civil War era. His strongly held
view was that the legend of McNeill
and his Partisan Rangers dominate
the Civil War history of our area. He
feels that the story of the Union
Home Guard and their exploits here
in the mountains along the Potomac
is unheralded and certainly deserves
to be recorded and shared. I certainly
don’t plan to rekindle the passions of
that conflict, but I’ll try to include
Union partisans and sentiments from
our area in future columns.
Back to the Romney situation,
last week’s letter from Samuel Fulkerson, Col. of the 37th Virginia
Infantry to Hon. Walter Staples
received a heart-felt “Amen” from
another regimental commanded, in a
letter written on the same day, January 23, 1862:
HEADQUARTERS FOURTH
BRIGADE NORTHWESTERN
ARMY, Camp near Romney.
MY DEAR STAPLES:
Fulkerson has shown me the letter
he has written you, and asks me to take
it to town to mail it for him.
I take the liberty with an old friend,
which I know you will pardon, to state
that every word and every idea conveyed by Colonel F. in his letter to you
is strictly and most unfortunately true.
The best army I ever saw of its strength
has been destroyed by bad marches
and bad management. It is ridiculous
to hold this place; it can do no good,
and will subject our troops to great
annoyance and exposed or picket duty,
which will destroy them. Not one will
re-enlist, not one of the whole army. It
will be suicidal in the Government to
keep this command here.
For Heaven’s sake urge the withdrawal of the troops, or we will not
[have] a man of this army for the
spring campaign.
Very truly, your friend,
WM B. TALLIFERRO,
Colonel, Commanding Brigade

It would appear that some of this
unrest was not immediately known
by Gen. Jackson. In a letter on the
following day to General Joseph E.
Johnston, from Winchester, he
details the size of the Loring command:
“I arrived here yesterday evening
from Romney, where I left General
Loring, with about 4,000 infantry,
three companies of cavalry, and thirteen pieces of field artillery.” He did
include one statement which may
have added some credence to Loring’s fears about defending Romney:
“…a loyal (southern) citizen of my
acquaintance visited General Lander
(Union) for the purpose of recovering property, and during the conversation General Lander said if I did
any further damage to the railroad
that he would burn every village in
Hampshire County, and that he
would burn the house of every secessionist in the county and would
destroy all his property.” Jackson
added, to indicate his willingness to
fight: “This great desire to reconstruct the railroad shows its impor-
tance to the enemy, and I am in favor
of destroying it at once, so as to put
away this bone on contention. But to
do this I require a regiment of cavalry
for a few days. Can you not send it to
me?”
The “bombshell” of protest was
written on January 25, 1862, not by
Loring but by eleven officers of his
command. Last week’s reprinted letter by Fulkerson and the short note
above by Taliaferro was directed to
Staples, a political leader.
The letter, directed to Loring and
then forwarded up the chain of command was answered by Jackson from
his Winchester Headquarters on
February 4th in very terse fashion:
“Respectfully forwarded, but disapproved.”
The fateful order from Richmond, indicating that the politicians
had gotten to those in charge in the
War Department came to Jackson on
January 30th. Secretary of War Judah
P. Benjamin wrote only two lines:
“Our news indicates that a movement is being made to cut off General Loring’s command. Order him
back to Winchester immediately.”
Jackson’s immediate action, to
request transfer back to VMI or to be
able to resign, certainly illustrates his
frustration. The central question:
Who’s running this war—the politicians or generals? Of course, he was
not allowed to resign, and Loring was
assigned other duty where he would
not run afoul of Jackson.
Before laying this incident to rest,
I’m going to conclude with an assessment provided to Gen. Loring by one
of his Chief Engineer S. M. Barton.
I find it interesting because of local
landmarks mentioned: “Notes on the
location and approaches to Romney.

Death of a Kingfisher by M.C.
Beaton – To bring in tourists, the
quaint Scottish village of Braike markets its woods as The Fairy Glen, and
tours soon begin to arrive. However,
after a kingfisher is found hanging

Truman Wiley used to report news stories from around the world, but now
the most troubling headlines are his

west turnpike, within a mile of its
intersection with the South Branch of
the Potomac. From its location in a
valley surrounded by mountains and
hills not difficult of access it is of
course indefensible. The approaches
are (by roads) by the Northwest turnpike east and west, the Springfield
turnpike, and two roads up the South
Branch to Moorefield. All of these
roads connect with farm roads,
which, with the nature of the surrounding country, render travel in
every direction without baggage easy.
Defenses.—On the left front, a
pass, through which Mill Creek runs.
This is a narrow and tortuous part of
the road, half a mile long, and ending
at Mechanicsburg, 3 1/2 miles from
Romney. The pass is difficult to
defend, the approach from the west
offering no obstruction to the enemy,
but affording them cover; it can also
be turned on the south by a road
practicable for artillery. It would be
dangerous, therefore, to use artillery
in or beyond this pass. The road mentioned above leads into the Moorefield grade, which passes through
Romney and the pass.” Barton ends
by writing: “For a small force this
point is indefensible. For a large one
(say 20,000), it could be made a
strong position.”
More names and more details

One of the cabins built by CCC Company 1524 located at the Lost River State Park.
The Lee Cabin
By Diane S. Hypes
Lost River State Park
Moorefield Examiner
Editor’s Note: This is the first in a
two part series on the Lost River State
Park in Hardy County.
Nestled in the wooded mountains
almost in the center of Hardy
County, with Howard’s Lick Run, a
small tributary stream at the headwaters of Lost River running through it,
is 3,712 acres of majestic land that
make up the Lost River State Park,
one of West Virginia’s 35 State
Parks.
Lost River and its beautiful valley
were well known to the Indians, who
originally settled the land and found
the area filled with plentiful game
and a miraculous spring near the
headwaters of Lost River. The Indians believed this spring possessed
medicinal powers. An analysis of the
spring water indicates that the water
does contain a high amount of bicarbonate sulfate, the odorous hydrogen
sulfate gas plus other trace minerals.
Situated at an elevation of 1,926 feet
in the main part of the present day
park, the spring is located in a quiet
glen at the base of the northeast
slope of Shenandoah Mountain.
In 1584 a portion of the land,
where the park is located today, was
deeded to Sir Walter Raleigh. In 1624
James I took the land when Raleigh
was imprisoned. But the first reasonable claim to the Lost River area was
by Lord Thomas Culpeper who was
granted the land after there was a
change in British rule. His grandson,
Thomas Fairfax, who eventually
inherited and managed the tract,
moved from England to Winchester,
Va. in 1740. Six years later Lord Fairfax contacted his cousin, William,
and a young man by the name of
George Washington to survey his
holdings. Washington wrote about
the Lost River Valley in his diary and
made sketches of Howard’s Lick Run
which sinks and flows beneath the
earth at Sandy Ridge Mountain,
reappearing as the Cacapon River.
Portions of the existing western
boundary line of the park, that was
originally surveyed by Washington,
passes within 200 yards of the sulphur
spring and was most likely a part of
the boundary of the 17,000 acre tract
that later became the property of
Henry “Light Horse Harry” Lee. The
earliest name for the land was
Howard’s Lick Spring, possibly
named for James Howard, an earlier
settler of the land.
In 1781 Lord Fairfax willed the
land to his nephew Danny Martin
Fairfax, and in 1796 after the British
were defeated by the Colonies in the
Revolutionary War, Henry Lee
received the 17,000 acre grant of land
from the Governor of Virginia in
return for his service during the war.
Henry Lee, nicknamed “Light
Horse Harry” while in college at
Princeton, earned that nickname
during the Revolution because of his
daring calvary raids of British supply
lines which kept Washington’s army
supplied with food. Light Horse
Harry’s eulogy of George Washington is an often repeated description
of America’s first president: “First in
War, First in Peace, and First in the
Hearts of his Countrymen.”
Henry Lee built the existing Lee
cabin in 1800 and lined the sulphur
spring with imported marble. In 1818
Henry Lee died leaving his holdings
to his heirs including his son, Robert
E. Lee, who later became the famous
Confederate General. In 1830 the
land was conveyed to Charles Carter
Lee, one of Henry’s sons. It is these
land holdings that are now part of the
state of West Virginia.
Eighteen years later in 1848,
Charles constructed a log boarding
house that measured 100 feet by 49
feet, and in 1852 formed the Hardy
White Sulphur Springs Company to
improve the area and the buildings.
Before Charles Carter Lee died in
1871 he sold Howard’s Lick Spring
and 500 acres of land to his son,
George Lee, who read law at Moorefield and taught school at the Baker
School while staying in the Lee Cabin
and boarding at the hotel. In 1879

George Lee sold the property to
M.A. and B.S. Alexander, then in
1887 the land was sold again this time
to H.S. Carr and his wife.
This was the golden era of the
resort when Carr remodeled and
enlarged the hotel, and renovated
the area. It became known as Lee
White Sulphur Springs and was heavily promoted with advertisements
detailing the resort’s new bowling
alley, and the hot and cold sulphur
baths that had been constructed.
Then Carr’s first wife died. In
1910 he remarried but on his wedding day the hotel burned and the
golden era of the hotel ended. Today
the parking lot for the present swimming pool now occupies that site.
The original cabin, known as the Lee
Cabin and the pavilion at the spring
survived the fire.
Carr’s second wife sold the property in 1929 to H. Riley Heishman.
By 1934 the West Virginia Legislature had appropriated money for the
Conservation Commission to purchase the land for the establishment
of what we now know as the Lost
River State Park. The main area of
the park, including the Lee Sulphur
Spring and the Lee Cabin were purchased from H. Riley Heishman with
an agreement that a cabin would be
constructed on the property for the
use of Mr. and Mrs. Heishman during their lifetimes and then revert to
the state after their death.
Eventually, the development of
the park became a cooperative effort
between the U.S. Department of
Interior and the State Conservation
Commission. It was in the previous
year of June 1933 that the Civilian
Corps Company (CCC) 1524, had
been organized at Fort Kentucky and
sometime after May 15, 1934, that
CCC Company 1524 occupied what
was then called Camp Hardy which
was located near to what is now the
entrance to Lost River State Park.
CCC Company 1524 was one of
the more than 2,500 Civilian Conservation Corps Camps formed
throughout the United States and
established through the Federal
Relief Administration. Two hundred
boys, aged 18 to 25 were assigned to
Camp Hardy and supervised by 26
older men and technicians.
In Raymond Daugherty’s book
“The CCC and Me” he states that
Camp Hardy was located about three
miles from Mathias with the entrance
to the Lost River State Park being
about a mile farther on.
Daugherty said that although
struction of horse stables, several
wells, boundary fences and fire
breaks. Extensive tree planting and
landscaping were also done, and
recreational facilities were added,
providing tennis, volleyball, croquet,
horseshoe pitching, and softball.
The stonework of these beautiful
buildings and structures was built to
last and many of the CCC work
examples remain intact, including the
15 standard cabins still in use today.
Lost River State Park’s 3,712 acres of
land was opened to the public on July
1, 1937.
In 1940 the Lee Cabin was renovated and in 1956 eight deluxe cabins
were completed. Two years later in
1958 a large eight person deluxe
cabin was built. Then in 1999 two
handicap accessible cabins were completed bringing the total number of
cabins in the park to 26 with 11 modern and 15 standard cabins. The popular Cranny Crow overlook shelter
was renovated in 2005.
Today in the 21st century the park
continues to flourish and is a wonderful tribute to the tireless work of the
CCC boys and to the continued work
of the park’s past and present superoversaw the beginning of the con- intendents, plus the many employees

many of the CCC camps in the
forestry service had to do a lot of fire
fighting, in addition to other duties,
their primary work under the
Department of Interior was to build
State Park facilities. At the time construction began, Lost River was one
of four principal parks being built in
the state, along with Watoga, Babcock, and Cacapon, with Watoga
being the first park under construction.
Camp Hardy included five barracks, a mess hall and kitchen, an
office, dispensary, officer’s quarters,
pump house, bath house, garage,
equipment and supply shed, plus a
recreation hall with post exchange.
According to Daugherty, none of the
electric companies had provided
electricity at that point, but they did
have a generator.
By December 1, 1934 Camp
Hardy’s personnel had installed 17
miles of telephone lines to the park,
had cleared 180 acres of land, built
three miles of roadway, four bridges,
landscaped 45 acres, started work on
a 10,000 gallon reservoir, and constructed eight miles of foot trails. Two
picnic shelters were also built along
with a well shelter for Sulphur
Spring, located near the newly
remodeled Lee cabin. In 1935, the
fire tower on Big Ridge was also
rebuilt.

East Hardy Trumps Moorefield in Hardy Classic
Story & Photos
By Carl Holcomb
Moorefield Examiner
Looking good on paper...
When reading the newspaper,
statistics and rankings indicate one
thing about a team and seeing them
in action can dictate something else.
East Hardy read up on its crosscounty rival Moorefield seeing that
the Yellow Jackets were ranked
fifth in the state and proved Friday
night would change that perception
as the Cougars vaulted a ferocious
attack with a 64-44 victory.
Certainly there is no question
that Moorefield can shoot the ball,
but some nights the sound of the
rim reverberating can become quite
loud as evident in Baker.
Moorefield (14-4) shot a paltry
15-of-60 from the field against the
Cougars.
The noise level in the gym didn’t
help matters.
The East Hardy pep club
grouped together to have a reading
demonstration about how much
they care to read instead of watching Moorefield take the court prior
to the game.
So everyone could see that they
could read and ignore the player
introductions, but how well could

basket as Moorefield’s Zach Laughlin leapt up to defend during last Friday’s cross-county battle.
“We know they are a good team
and we know we are a good team.
We just haven’t seemed to be able
to put four quarters together all
year. This time we talked about
coming out in the fourth quarter
and keeping the momentum going.
Once we had the momentum, we
kept going, going, and going. We
had a lot of turnovers, just because
the adrenaline was running sky
high. Our kids finally settled down
and hit some big threes to spread
the floor a little bit. We’ve seen
them twice and know what we can
do,” East Hardy Coach Danny
Dewhurst commented.
After the reading was done, it
was a nonstop shouting regiment as
the Cougars showed a stronger look
than in the last encounters.
Moorefield had previously
beaten the Cougars twice this season and held a 14-3 record entering
the contest with a state ranking of
fifth. The Yellow Jacket fans
cheered loudly.
“We didn’t play very well down
there. We shot poorly. We were 15for-60 from the field, and 5-for-19
from the three point line and you
can’t do those things especially
when the other team is just playing
a simple 3-2 zone. We didn’t take
advantage of the opportunities we
had. We came out and created 20
turnovers, but we got limited points
off those turnovers,” Moorefield
Coach Pat McGregor commented.
“When you don’t put the ball in the
basket, our defense is in transition
all the time. It’s hard to play transition defense. There is a big difference in playing defense in transition
than from a made field goal. After
made field goals, we are pretty
strong, but when you only make 15
baskets in 32 minutes, you don’t
have a whole lot of chances to setup
your defense. If we execute on
offense, that changes the complexion of the game. It puts us in our
defense. Five credit to them, they
shot the ball well. The East Hardy
game was a big game, that was a
pride game. We’d beaten them
twice and it would’ve been nice to
have beaten them three times, but
we didn’t do that. You never know
what the kids are thinking, a lot of
times the kids get that perception
that hey, we beat them twice, so it
won’t be hard to beat them a third
time. When you are 14-3 going into
a game that is an inter-county
game, the other opposing team is
wanting a notch on their belt, to
chant that we are overrated and
they got to chant that last night.
We’re taking that punch right now
because of our record and what
we’ve done early in the season and
now we’ve got to back up what
we’ve done early.”
East Hardy improved to 13-6
after showing what happens when a
team makes shots and plays
defense.

Tucker County Thrashed the Yellow Jackets for PVC Title
Story & Photos
By Carl Holcomb
Moorefield Examiner
The Potomac Valley Conference
Championship belongs to Tucker
County after a demonstrative 58-43
victory over the Yellow Jackets in
Elkins on Saturday during the PVC
Night of Champions.
Moorefield already split the regular season with the Mountain
Lions, but got swatted in the PVC
title game both literally and figuratively.
The Yellow Jackets (14-5), just
came off of a loss against crosscounty rival East Hardy and had to
wait the entire day for the PVC
Tournament and the WV Hometown Invitational Tournament to
conclude for the championship
game.
Was your energy level zapped?
“No, it didn’t have anything to do
with legs. It just had to do with it was
supposed to be a basketball game
and a football game broke out,”
Moorefield Coach Pat McGregor
remarked. “I’m just so tired that
every time you play them, it
becomes so physical. The hand
checking, it becomes so rough that it
is not a basketball game. I think if we
can ever get it to be a basketball
game, I think our chances go up as
does anybody’s. Our kids fought
hard, but foul trouble killed us. It is
what it is.”
In typical Moorefield and Tucker
County basketball games, the
aggression was paramount as over
40 fouls were assessed.
Early on in the contest, Moorefield was able to make some good
cuts inside the paint and score.
Tucker County made adjustments and pushed Moorefield away
from the paint, making it more difficult to create things in the post.
“Yeah, it was a real physical
game, everyone was in foul trouble;
every team, both of us. That is just
part of the game. You go hard, that
happens sometimes. We did a lot
better defensively and we talked
about that. I don’t know how good,
but we are a better team than we
were at the beginning of the season,
which we should be hopefully,”
Tucker County Coach Tom Gutshall
noted.
After both squads missed shots
to start the game, Moorefield’s
Adam Snyder crashed into the lane
and was met by Tucker County’s
Tyler Snyder who got a blocking
foul.
Moorefield did in fact score first
as Adam Snyder found Garrett
Keller for a basket at 7:07.
The game got a little chippy as
players went for the rebounds, but
the Mountain Lions scraped off
Moorefield for the early caroms.
Tyler Snyder made an old-fashioned three point play at 5:58 to give
Tucker County a 4-2 edge.
Tucker County increased the
lead to 8-4 on baskets by Gary
Nedrow.
Adam Snyder made another
attack at the basket and drew a second foul on Tyler Snyder, to which
he looked puzzled when gazing at
the referees.
Moorefield sliced the lead when
Adam Snyder threw the inbound
pass in for Jacob Bucker at 4:15.
DaShawn Brown gave Moorefield the lead at 2:55 as he cut along
the baseline for a 9-8 edge.
Austin Zirk responded with a
Mountain Lion 3-pointer.
Buckler tied the game at 11-all at
the ‘two minute warning’ of the first Jungle Fever: Garrett Keller and the Yellow Jackets pierced through the lane in Elkins during the
quarter.

make them play at our tempo, it
would eventually wear them out.
That was the key to the whole
game,” Buffalo Coach Charles
Elkins, II stated.
East Hardy came into the game
on an emotional high after just
beating cross-county rival Moorefield the previous evening.
This was the second consecutive
time East Hardy has been in the
WV HIT Championship contest
and runner-up yet again.
What was the difference compared to the performance last
night?
“Uh, we played Moorefield last
night (laughs). We did have the
legs, but we didn’t execute. We had
too many turnovers. The fourth
quarter was just back and forth.
What’s the point of a steal if you are
just going to give the ball back?”
East Hardy Coach Danny
Dewhurst remarked. “Most of our
turnovers were at mid-court when
they pressed us. It’s not typical of us
making overhead passes, instead of
bounce passes; not going with the
flow, not running our offense. I
know they were tired, they kept saying we’re tired, we’re tired, we’re
tired. But you know a big game like
that in a championship, you’ve got
to step up and play and the better
team won. Give a lot of credit to
Buffalo, We’ve got a lot of work to
do next week with our press
breaker.”
East Hardy got the first couple
of baskets of the game by Josh
Parker and Tyler Mongold, but the
Bison fought back with several
steals by Dylan Rich including a layup and an assist on a trifecta by
Alex Ferarri for the lead at 4:38.
Nothing fell for the next two
minutes before East Hardy got a
field goal by Jamie Miller and
Wyatt Basye scorched the nets with
a trey at 1:26 for a 9-5 edge.
Buffalo closed the gap slightly
with a pair of free throws by Joseph
Good at 1:06 as the Cougars carried
a 9-7 lead into the second quarter.
The Cougars built a 17-12 lead
midway through the second quarter, but Buffalo responded with two
forced turnovers and 3-point baskets by Ferarri and Good to take
the lead 20-17 at 2:48.
East Hardy’s Wyatt Basye stole
the ball and found Shawn Skovron
open for a 3-pointer to knot it up.
Buffalo took a 25-22 lead with
19 seconds left before the half on a
trey by Jordan Fletcher.
Kollin Foltz scored on a putback
for the Cougars with one second
left to close the gap 25-24 at the
intermission.
East Hardy struck first in the
second half at 7:42 with a sweep
inside by Levi Beck.
That lead lasted for one short
possession as Buffalo scored 16 seconds later courtesy of Levi Jordan.
Buffalo applied pressure, creating miscues by the guard play of
East Hardy.
The Bison had a 31-28 lead
before Skovron hit two free throws
and made a putback for the lead
later at 3:55.
Tyler Mongold got an assist
from Beck and added a free throw
moments afterward for a 35-31
edge.
A trifecta by Ferarri, then a
Bison steal and basket by Bradley
Harris erased that lead in a flash,
36-35.
Ferarri scorched the net for
another trifecta at 1:41 for a 39-35
lead.
Buffalo took a 45-37 advantage
entering the final period after five
points netted by Isaiah Robinson in
the final 13 seconds including a
three point play at the buzzer.
East Hardy committed about a
dozen turnovers in the fourth quarter as the constant pressure created
havoc.
“Their ball handlers were shaky
tonight. They started in a 3-2 zone
that we adjusted to when we slid
someone over, but we had a very

2012 WVU Football Schedule
THE OLD MASTER
The Big (12) News finally, officially arrived this past week. After
months of legal wrangling and political posturing, a settlement was
reached to allow WVU to join the
Big 12 conference, beginning July 1,
2012.
That means that this fall, WVU
sports will be playing Big 12 schedules, and it will be a very different
experience for the teams and fans.
About an hour after the official
announcement of WVU leaving the
Big East and joining the Big 12, the
football schedule was released, and
hotel phones in and around Morgantown began ringing off the
hook.
The highlight of the home
schedule is the November 17 date
with Oklahoma. The Sooners are
expected to be ranked very highly
throughout the season, and memories of the Fiesta Bowl will no doubt
be brought up that week.

Meanwhile, on the basketball
court, both the men’s and women’s
teams came up with big wins during
the week. The men throttled Pitt, in
what may be the last Backyard
Brawl for a while, 66-48. The key
was a dominating second half,
where the Mountaineer defense stifled the Panthers. WVU forced
numerous turnovers, and forced
Pitt to shoot the ball poorly.
The women gained their third
straight win over a ranked team by
knocking off Rutgers. 60-50. Like
the men, the key was a strong second half. Their late season run was
temporarily derailed when they
faced their fourth ranked opponent
in a row: DePaul. The Blue
Demons turned the tables on the
Mountaineers, and used a strong
second half to overtake and pull
away from WVU. Still, winning
three out of four games against
ranked teams (including #2 Notre
Dame) was a great run that should
put WVU well into the NCAA
tournament.
Finally, congratulations to both
swim teams. They competed in the
Big East Championships this weekend, and did well. The men finished
fourth, only a few points behind
host Pitt. The women, finished a
strong third, not too far behind
Notre Dame. In fact, no other
women’s team won more events
than the Mountaineers (6). They
were led by the tandem of Rachel
Burnett (3 wins), and Maddie
Nugent (2 wins). Those two also

Senior Combs Bids Farewell Moorefield Wrestles at Regional Tourney
Story By Carl Holcomb

Moorefield senior Shannon
Combs received many flowers in an
emotional farewell prior to her
helping the Yellow Jackets end
Northern’s season with a 45-43 loss.
Combs blocked the final Lady
Huskies shot in the waning seconds
to secure the victory.
“We had some defensive breakdowns which led to them getting
back into the game. Shannon
stepped up on defense and got a
piece of the ball to deny them a
chance to win. Her leadership on
the court has been an asset,”
Moorefield Coach Paul Keplinger
said.
Northern was in the Maryland
state finals last year with a record of
23-5, but this year has been more
tumultuous with a 3-19 record.
A 3-pointer by Beth Cook gave
Moorefield a 9-4 edge at the 4:34
mark of the first period.
Katelynn Wills added to the lead
with an outside jumper at 3:01.
The Lady Huskies chipped away
at the lead with baskets by Airica
Paugh and Kiersten Butler for a 129 score entering the second quarter.
The Yellow Jackettes bumped
the lead up at the start of the second quarter with a lay-up by
Cheyenne Lender.
Northern’s Allison Yommer
went to work making some key
shots and rebounds to get the Lady
Huskies to within 15-13 at the 4:40
mark.
Free throws were made by
Yommer and Paugh to tie the game
at 17-all with 2:26 remaining in the
half.
Moorefield forced a few
turnovers and Taylor Zuber netted
a long range jumper with 1:47 on
the clock and Courtney Parker
added a putback for a 21-17 edge.
Shannon Combs made free
throw with four seconds before the
half for a 22-17 Yellow Jackettes
advantage at the intermission.
Yommer netted two consecutive
3-pointers for the Lady Huskies
early in the second half to close the
gap to 24-23.
Combs made two free throws
before forcing a turnover and finding Parker open for a trey for a 2923 edge at 5:49.
Katelynn Wills made an oldfashioned three point play at 5:03
for a 32-25 lead.
Northern’s Kirsten Rayner hit
several field goals and Yommer
added another trifecta to pull
within 34-33 with 43 seconds left in
the third quarter.
Beth Cook made a shot
moments later to give the Yellow
Jackettes a little breathing room
entering the final quarter.
Lender scored in the opening
minute for a 38-33 edge.
Cook blocked a shot and
Yommer was called for a charge on
the next play, but Moorefield
missed its shot on the other end.
Butler and Cook traded 3-pointers, then Yommer iced a jumper as
Moorefield clung to a 41-38 edge
with 4:19 left in the game.
Lender gave Moorefield a five
point edge on a jump shot in the
paint before it was answered with a
lay-up by Butler.
After a time-out and a turnover
by Moorefield, Yommer struck
again with a lay-up to slice the
deficit to 43-42 with 2:35 to go.
Lender made a pass to Combs
who successfully planted the ball in
the net for a 45-23 lead with 1:26
left.
Rayner made one of two free
throws with 1:20 left for the Lady
Huskies.
Both squads missed baskets and
Combs came down with a rebound
and passed it to Wills who was
fouled at mid-court with 28 seconds
left.
After a time-out, there was a
jump ball to Northern, but Lender
came away with a steal for Moorefield and was fouled.
Lender missed the charity shot
and Yommer hauled in the carom
with 15 seconds left and Northern
called for a time-out with 11 seconds to go.
Northern got the ball in for a
final shot and was denied by
Combs.
Combs, Cook, and Parker each
had nine points for Moorefield.
Yommer scored a game-high 23
points for Northern.
“It’s hard to pin point just one
thing. It was a very well played
game. A competitive game on both
ends. We missed a few shots we
probably should’ve had in the end.
It could have gone either way. It
came down to us with the ball with
the last shot and as a coach that is
what I’ve always wanted. I had destiny in my own hands, sometimes it
works and sometimes it doesn’t.
Tonight, just wasn’t our night,”
Northern Coach Steve Fratz commented.
Moorefield placed 11th out of
12 teams at the Region II Class
AA/A Wrestling Tournament held
at Braxton County High School in
Flatwoods this past weekend.
The Yellow Jackets have three
grapplers who earned a total of 23
team points.
Each Moorefield wrestler was in
contention for the state tournament
on the second day of wrestling
through the consolation bracket.
These grapplers all ended the
tournament in fifth place overall.
The top four wrestlers advance
to the state tournament in Huntington, but the fifth place wrestlers are
considered alternates.
In the 113-lb. division, Moorefield sophomore C.J. Dolby battled
Berkeley Springs’ C.J. Capps in the
second round of the championship
bracket to see who could advance
one step closer to states.
Capps pinned Dolby to advance
to the semifinals and Dolby was
sent to the consolation bracket.
Dolby defeated Philip Barbour’s
Ryan White with a pin to advance
to the consolation semifinals.
Steven Hurst of Grafton edged
Dolby with a pin which sent Dolby
to the fifth place match.
Dolby battled against Frankfort’s Danny Morlan and won in an
8-6 Decision to earn fifth place at
the Region II Tournament.
Dolby finished the season with a
10-13 record.
The Yellow Jackets looked to
freshman Bryant Ketterman as
another possible state contender in
the 126-lb. class.

Moorefield sophomore grappler C.J. Dolby grabbed Frankfort’s
Danny Morlan during the Region II Class AA/A Wrestling
Tournament at Braxton County last Saturday in the fifth place
match.
Ketterman lost on a technical
fall to Grafton’s Briar Hickman in
the championship bracket quarterfinals.
Ketterman had two byes before
having to face Frankfort’s Derek
George in the consolation semifinals.
George won via fall and
advanced to battle Michael Raycraft and won by a 5-2 Decision for
third place.
Ketterman was supposed to
grapple Hickman in the fifth place
consolation match once more, but
Hickman withdrew and Ketterman
got the fifth place win.
Ketterman ended the season
with a 11-13 record.
In the 160-lb. weight division,
Moorefield freshman Sam Kesner
started with a match against Braxton County’s Jacob Helmick and
lost in a 5-1 Decision.
Kesner moved down to the consolation bracket and defeated
Philip Barbour’s Andrew Daughtery with a pin, then lost in a 2-1
Decision to Frankfort’s Braxton
Lewis in the semifinals.
Kesner
finished
Saturday
against
Grafton’s
Ryan
Denkenbberger in the fifth place
match and won with a 5-4 Decision.
Kesner finished the season at 915 overall.
Braxton won the overall team
award with 219 points, followed by
Keyser with 178.5.

MOOREFIELD (WV) EXAMINER, Wednesday, February 22, 2012 - Page 3B
Tucker County Thrashed
Continued from page 1B
the harm moments later for Tucker
County, but missed his free throw.
On the ensuing possession,
Brown tried to split two defenders in
the paint and injured his ankle in the
process and didn’t return.
Tucker County fans shouted out
that he should eat healthier and
maybe he had imported chicken.
Ruthless, yet cunning remarks
made because Moorefield is known
as the poultry capital of West Virginia.
Moorefield fans were prepared
for this with shirts made by the
Spanish Club which say ‘Eat More
Chicken’.
Tucker County took a 15-11 lead
with a minute left on free throws by
Nathaniel Goldstein.
Moorefield’s Zach Laughlin
swiped the ball and scored with 24
seconds to go.
Nichols added a free throw as
Tucker County led 16-13 entering
round two.
Adam Snyder drilled a 3-pointer
at the 5:20 mark of the second quarter which was the first points from
either squad in the quarter.
The turnover bug was affecting
both teams in the second quarter.
Keller tried to force a couple of
passes inside, only to find a Mountain Lion pouncing on the pass.
At the 2:40 mark Goldstein made
two charity shots to give Tucker
County a 23-18 lead, but in the next
series Keller made a basket on an
inbound pass from Laughlin and
Adam Snyder stole the ball and
scored for a 23-22 score.
Keller and Nichols both made
traditional three point plays in the
final minute of the half.
Tucker County took a slim 27-25
lead into half-time.
“We didn’t change anything
going out in the second half. They
got more physical. You notice in the
first half we got in the lane a lot, got
a lot of buckets. Adam had a lot of
penetration in the lane. In the second half we didn’t get that and the
reason for it was that they were
bumping us and hand checking us
and we couldn’t get in there. When
that happens, it changes the whole
style of game that you’re forced to
play. Credit to them, it was allowed
East Hardy Trumps
so they played the way the game was
dealt. It was in their favor and not
ours. Hopefully, we get a chance to
play them again, that remains to be
seen. We’ll see how the playoffs go,
anything can happen in the playoffs.”
To add insult to injury, East
Hardy’s Jamie Miller joined the
Tucker County student section at
half-time which enraged the Moorefield fans.
Moorefield’s Lance Taylor tied
the game at 27-all at the 7:45 mark
of the third quarter.
Tucker County clamped down on
defense and built a 33-27 lead before
Moorefield’s Adam Snyder got his
fourth foul on a steal attempt.
Moorefield tried to pound the
ball inside, but it was more difficult
as the Mountain Lions swallowed
the lanes and slashed against
attacks.
Moorefield tried to make adjustments to shoot outside, but Tucker
County seemed to have the pressure
on defense at critical times.
Tucker County led 39-33 entering the final quarter of the PVC title
game.
It was harder for Moorefield to
create baskets from its guard play
with the foul trouble looming overhead.
Nedrow scored on a three point
play, then Adam Snyder saw an
opening in the paint.
Snyder crashed inside and was
met by Mikhail Lewis, forcing Snyder to dive to the floor andno foul
was called as a turnover ensued.
Keller added a jumper for
Moorefield with 5:50 remaining for
a 48-35 score.
Moorefield’s Noah Carr nailed a
3-pointer for a 53-40 score.
Nedrow crashed inside the lane
moments later and lost the ball, but
in the ensuing scramble no jump ball
was called as Samuel Shoemaker
snatched it and called a time-out.
Keller made the last shot of the
game, a trifecta for the Yellow Jackets.
Keller led Moorefield with 12
points, followed by Adam Snyder
with 10 markers.
Nichols paced three Mountain
Lions in double figures with 17
points as Nedrow and Lewis pitched
in 11 points.
The only reprieve from this
Night of Champions for Moorefield
was that Coach McGregor won the
Coach of the Year Award and both
Keller and Snyder were selected to
the All-PVC team.
“Hopefully we can get a three
game winning streak going into the
playoffs and end on a high note,”
Coach McGregor concluded.
Harman started the tournament
against Union, Pendleton County
lost to Pocahontas County in the
fifth place game 60-44. Evan Arrington had 13 points for the Wildcats,
while the Warriors were led by Dillon Kelley with 24 points.
The WV Hometown Invitational
Tournament broke up the action
with a third place game between
Midland Trail and Tygarts Valley
which went into overtime with Midland Trail winning, 69-59.
East Hardy battled Buffalo and
the Bison stampeded to a 67-58 victory in the WV HIT title game.
Tygarts Valley will play East
Hardy for its NOC game tonight.
There was a 3-point shootout for
both girls and boys as Pocahontas
County’s Miranda McNabb and
Tucker County’s Nathaniel Goldstein won the event.
Moorefield’s Shannon Combs
and Garrett Keller and East Hardy’s
Korey Foltz were Hardy County’s
representatives in the shootout.
The 2011-12 All-PVC Boys Basketball Team is: Jed Sheets (Pocahontas), Dillon Kelley (Pocahontas),

down our offense. They are going to
be okay. It was great to be a part of
this tournament. two years in a row
we were runner-up and maybe next
year we will get it with a little work.
It’s fun, the kids get some exposure.
We have two games coming up and
Tygarts Valley is no slouch either.
We’re not out yet. We’ll take this as
a learning experience and practice
on Monday,” Coach Dewhurst concluded.
East Hardy was led in scoring by
Tyler Mongold with 21 points, followed by Shawn Skovron with 15.
Ferarri paced the Bison with 20
points, followed by Robinson with
11.
“We always said the HIT was
started as a way to give the kids
something to remember. Our kids
want a big trophy, a big banner, and
a big plaque,” Coach Elkins commented.

good scouting report,” Coach
Elkins noted.
The Cougars got a pair of 3pointers by both Kollin Foltz and
Tyler Mongold to help stay within
striking distance, but Buffalo
seemed to find a way to roam away.
“When you broke the press, we
threw the ball away. They know
what happened. We need to settle

battle, it was a war for county
supremacy.
One interesting fact while reading the current WV MetroNews
Power Index was that Moorefield
was ranked 44 and East Hardy 64,
quite an amazing numerical coincidence considering the final outcome.
After a steal by Adam Snyder to
start the game with subsequent
miss, a feeling that something was
awry started to trickle in.
Josh Parker netted an old-fashioned three point play at 7:10 for an
early East Hardy edge.
Defensively, shot blocking was
made an impact as Tyler Mongold,
Jamie Miller and Adam Snyder all
had first quarter denials.
Sloppy play by Moorefield and
baskets by Miller and Mongold plus
a free throw by Shawn Skovron led
to a 12-3 advantage for the den
dwellers.
Moorefield eclipsed part of that
deficit on a basket by Snyder and a
trey by Garrett Keller in the waning
seconds for a 12-8 score heading
into the second period.
Keller lit up the perimeter once
again to open the second quarter at
7:48.
Moorefield senior Zach Laughlin tied the game on a pair of free
throws at 13-all at the 6:56 mark.
Keller scorched the nets again
with another trifecta for a Yellow
Jacket lead at 6:30.
Tyler Mongold responded with a
trey of his own at 6:01 to tie it up for
the Cougars.
Baskets by Parker and Wyatt
Basye, plus a trey by Mongold
helped East Hardy gain a 25-18
edge with 3:04 left in the first half.
East Hardy held a 28-22 advantage at half-time.
Rivalry Game: East Hardy’s Wyatt Basye and Moorefield’s Lance
Taylor battled for the ball last Friday in Baker.
Late in the third quarter, Tyler
Mongold hit a trifecta which was
followed by a steal by Jamie Miller
and a free throw made.
Miller blocked a shot and took
the ball down the court and fed
Mongold for another score.
A technical foul was called on
Moorefield on the next play and
Josh Parker sank both free throws
for a 44-27 lead.
Snyder made an old fashioned
three point play to cut the deficit to
44-30.
Laughlin nailed a trey at 1:51 for
a 46-33 score.
East Hardy led 49-37 going into
the final stanza.
Shots weren’t falling until the
6:07 mark when Kollin Foltz netted
a 3-pointer.
That score was part of an 11-3
run by the Cougars.
Miller also knocked down a trey
and Mongold added a basket and a
blocked shot.
Snyder made a 3-pointer at 2:36,
but Mongold added two free throws
on the next possession for a 60-40
advantage.
Mongold scored a game-high 28
points, followed by Miller with 13.
Snyder led the Yellow Jackets
with 16 points, followed by Garrett
Keller with 15 markers.
In JV action, Moorefield
defeated East Hardy 60-50.
Austin Williams paced Moorefield with 22 points, followed by
Aaron Cole with 17 and Tyler Smith
with 10 markers.

Miller with 16 points, followed by
Justin Basye with 12.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s recommended change in the state constitution to create a new office of lieutenant governor in the executive
branch of state government is now
moving through the legislative
process with one major change
already inserted by the House Constitutional Revision Committee.
Members of the committee
voted to remove language that
would have made Gov. Tomblin eligible for a second four-year term as
governor in 2016 if he wins his first
full, four-year term this year. The
current state constitution prohibits
a governor from serving a third
term when that individual has
served “all or part” of two successive terms. The proposal submitted
by Tomblin would have changed
that so he would have been ineligible only if he had served two previous complete four-year terms which
was not the case for him.
Senate President Jeff Kessler,
D-Marshall, said last week he doesn’t believe the Senate will approve
this amendment should it gets
through the House of Delegates.
Proposed constitutional amendments require a two-thirds majority
vote in both houses before going on
the ballot.
Kessler, by virtue of his position
as Senate President, is also the current lieutenant governor as was
Tomblin when he became acting

A $120 million tax increase on
cigarettes and smokeless tobacco
(SB586) was introduced last Tuesday by three state senators—two of
whom are physicians. But Senate
Finance
Chairman
Roman
Prezioso, D-Marion, is the lead
sponsor and he’s interested in finding a new source of revenue for an
additional $200 million in next
year’s budget for the Medicaid program.
“There are no other options,”
said Prezioso. “You’re either going
to raise other taxes or other fees, or
else decrease Medicaid services.”
Sen. Dan Foster, D-Kanawha,
and Sen. Ron Stollings, D-Boone,
both practicing physicians, point to
the health benefits of discouraging
tobacco use. And Foster agrees a
higher tax on tobacco “decreases
the prevalence of smoking, particularly by younger people.”
The proposed increase would

A proposed constitutional
amendment to grant a property tax
exemption to the new Boy Scouts of
America complex in Fayette
County was endorsed by members
of the Senate Judiciary Committee
last week after it was amended to
expand the exemption to any other
comparable facility.
As amended, the proposed
amendment “would exempt any
congressionally chartered, nonprofit organization and their affiliates that have at least 6,000 contiguous acres in West Virginia from the
ad valorem (property) tax,” said
Senate Judiciary Committee attorney Tom Smith.
The proposed amendment still
must be endorsed by the Senate
Finance Committee as well before
it will be ready for a vote on the
Senate floor where it will require a
two-thirds majority vote of
approval. If also approved by the
House of Delegates, it would be on
the general election ballot for
approval by voters statewide in
November.
Legislation to make graffiti a
crime (SB408) was unanimously
approved by the Senate last week at
the urging of Sen. Evan Jenkins, DCabell. He said Huntington has a
anti-graffiti ordinance but a state
law is needed. The proposal, if it
becomes law, would make persons
convicted of defacing property
receive up to one year in jail and
fines of up to $1,000.
Similar legislation is pending in
a House of Delegates committee
(HB4052) that also includes a provision to allow courts to suspend the
driver’s licenses of graffiti artists
under the age of 18.
