County Court Hearing
By Erica Kearns
After months of delay, Judge Facemire
heard the arguments for the Prosecutor Jim
Samples vs. the Clay County Commission
court case on Tuesday. Allowing Circuit
Clerk Mike Asbury to join in the suit, Judge
Facemire is faced with deciding if the County
Commission cut the budgets of the two constitutional offices to the point that the offices
are unable to function.
Testimony started with Prosecutor Jim
Samples and covered the details of the budgets for the fiscal years 2013-2014 and 20142015. Samples’ three hour long testimony
covered current office expenses, the proposed budget and the means used to arrive at
the determined amounts.
Circuit Clerk Mike Asbury took the witness stand after lunch, with his responses
mirroring much of what Samples had said.
County Commissioner Jerry Linkinoggor
was the only defendant to take the stand,
detailing the process by which the commission had decided the budget for each constitutional office within the courthouse. Tasked
with the duties of deciding if the Clay County
Commission was or wasn’t in error when assigning the budgets for the courthouse offices, Judge Facemire took the case under advisement, allowing two weeks for the court’s
findings to be filed. Judge Facemire will then
render his decision.

Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office
Seeks Public’s Help
By Erica Kearns
The Kanawha County Sheriff’s Office
needs your help. In August a body was found
in the Reamer Road area of Clendenin. At the
time of discovery, no information was available about the body as it was badly decomposed. After the body was examined further
by doctors and investigators, details about the
body have been released. The deceased was
a white male, approximately 50 years. The
individual had suffered a traumatic brain in-
jury within the past few years, possibly from
a car or ATV accident, which had caused a
subdural hemorrhage that led to brain surgery at the time of the accident. The person
also had broken ribs and was missing several
teeth. If anyone has information pertaining to
the identity of this individual or the subject,
please call the Kanawha County Sheriff’s
Department at 304-357-0169.

Governor Tomblin Recognizes Division
of Corrections Harvest Now Program
Gov. Tomblin recognized
the West Virginia Division
of Correction’s Harvest Now
donation program, a sustainable fresh produce effort, for
donating more than 46,000
pounds of fresh produce to
local food banks and charitable organizations across
West Virginia.
“The Harvest Now program fits with the goals of
my justice reinvestment
initiative and helps provide
inmates with the skills they
need to be successful when
they return to our communities,” Gov. Tomblin said.
“Not only does tending and
harvesting a garden provide
inmates with valuable skills
including managing tasks
and accomplishing longterm goals, but the work
these men and women are
doing serves West Virginia’s
communities in need. West
Virginia is blessed with an
array of natural resources,
and I’m grateful the hard
work of so many has cultivated our state’s rich soil into
a plentiful harvest.”
The Harvest Now program provides opportunities
for corrections inmates to

By Erica Kearns
Thanks to the hard work
of local volunteers, walkers, bicyclers and horseback
riders are now able to travel
the entire section of railroad
bed from Pisgah to Dundon.
Thanks to Appalachian Timber Products of Sutton and
their generous donation of
materials and David Pierson
for the use of equipment, the
floor of the railroad trestle
at Dundon has been completely replaced. The sturdy
oak flooring expands to
cover 180’ of steel to allow
travelers to safely cross over
the mouth of Buffalo Creek.
The project was initiated
during the Governor’s Day
of Caring but took weeks to
complete. Mitch DeBoard,
Michael Shamblin, Moon
Mullins, Brent DeBoard
and Michael Adkins worked
countless hours to ensure
the trestle flooring was safe
for crossing. The group effort was made possible by
the Business Development
Authority, the Buffalo Creek
Watershed, United Way, Clay
4-H and WVU Extension Office and Clay County Services Unlimited. Make time to
enjoy the county’s first trail
and enjoy the beauty of the
outdoors this fall.

Tractor Trailer Wreck
Turns Into Blessing
By Erica Kearns
A tractor trailer wreck on
I-79 Sunday turned from an
accident to a blessing. The
semi was traveling Northbound on the interstate when
the driver lost control of the
vehicle, causing the truck’s
box trailer to careen over
the interstate bridge at the
Big Otter exit. The contents
of the trailer spewed onto
Route 16 below, hindering
traffic. The cargo consisted
entirely of Healthy Choice
frozen dinners and with the
trailer rendered unusable,
the dinners needed to be refrigerated so they wouldn’t
ruin. A call was made and
Tom and Freda Auxier headed north. A majority of the
dinners were donated to the

Let’s Talk Event Scheduled
at Clay Lions Club
The Clay County Health
Department, Clay Family Resource Network, and
The Adolescent Pregnancy
Prevention Initiative are
partnering to host a “Let’s
Talk” event. This event is
an opportunity for parents
and children to learn to communicate in an open honest
manner about sexuality and
other sensitive issues. Such
discussions can help young
people delay sex and avoid
unintended pregnancy and
STDs. Research shows that
adolescents prefer their parents/guardians to be their
sex educators. Moreover,
children often need more
information, guidance and
open discussion with their
families.
Families can play a pivotal
role in helping young people make healthy decisions
about sex. Most parents
want the opportunity to share
their values and provide their
children with accurate information about sexuality.
But often, parents and other
adults feel uncomfortable
discussing sexuality. Often
they need assistance and support in starting meaningful
conversations.
For questions or more information contact April Taylor at Clay County Health
Department at 304-5874269. We encourage every
family to attend this event.
It’s never too early or too late
to have this discussion. This
is a perfect opportunity to
gather the tools you need to
become an educator for your
children. Bring your children and make this a family
event.

Grim Indicted
By Erica Kearns
Seth Grim, the 21 year old who wrecked his SUV
and shut down I-79 in August, was indicted on felony
charges this week. Grim was traveling from Pennsylvania when he wrecked his vehicle in Roane County
several weeks ago. Investigators at the scene of the accident found three firearms and a quart jar filled with
marijuana in the wreckage. As a result, Grim was placed
under arrest immediately following the wreck. The federal indictment against Grim is for the charges of carrying firearms during state-to-state commerce and using a
controlled substance.
Federal Court Upholds EPA Veto of Spruce
Mountaintop
Removal Mine
Finds coal industry’s case against EPA action baseless
Today Judge Amy Berman Jackson of
the U.S. District Court for the District
of Columbia upheld the Environmental
Protection Agency’s veto of a permit
for one of the largest and most extreme
mountaintop removal coal mines ever
proposed in Appalachia, the Spruce No.
1 Mine. The court found no merit in
the coal industry’s case, and found that
EPA’s decision to veto the Clean Water
Act permit for this mine was reasonable
and fully supported by the scientific record.
Background information and relevant
documents are provided at the end of
this release.
Statement from Emma Cheuse,
Earthjustice counsel who argued on behalf of several Appalachian groups in
defense of the EPA’s veto:
“Today’s court victory is a win for
all Americans who believe our children
deserve clean water and healthy lives
without facing the increased threats of
cancer, birth defects and early mortality
associated with mountaintop removal
coal mining.
“Now that a court has affirmed EPA’s
decision to prevent the unacceptable
devastation this practice causes in this
important instance, we need EPA to do
its job across the board to protect Appalachian communities before the coal
industry destroys more waterways,
communities and unique natural areas
for good.”
Statement from Ben Luckett, Appalachian Mountain Advocates, who
also represented the coalition of Appalachian community groups as amici
curiae in support of EPA: “The court
rightly recognized the robust scientific
foundation for EPA’s decision to prevent the extreme environmental harm
associated with the Spruce mine’s proposed valley fills. We expect that EPA
going forward will faithfully apply that
science and take proactive steps to avert
the damage caused by large scale surface coal mining that it so clearly identified in its veto determination.”
Statement from Jim Hecker, Environmental Enforcement Director at Public
Justice and co-counsel in the 1998 case
that initially blocked the Spruce mine:
“The coal industry has falsely painted
the Spruce Mine veto as an example of
EPA overreach and a ‘war on coal,’ and
this decision shows that EPA’s decision
is based on clear scientific evidence of
serious environmental harm from mining.”
Statement from Debbie Jarrell, Coal
River Mountain Watch co-director:
“It’s about time that the EPA is able to
do their jobs, but protecting two streams
out of the hundreds of active and pending permits is a far cry from ending
mountaintop removal. The EPA needs
to go much further to protect our communities’ health and water, and not get
sued for doing their jobs.”
Statement from Bill Price of the Sierra Club: “This is great news for people
living in mountain communities. Once
again the courts have upheld the right of
the EPA to act. Hopefully the Administration will now move forward and take
actions that Appalachian activists have
asked for.”
Historical Society Meeting
The Clay County Landmarks Commission and Historical Society met October
1, 2014 in the Clay County
Library. Present were Jerry
Stover, Jim Miller, Betty
Robinson and Eloise Boggs.
Dispensing with the formality of the usual agenda,
the meeting consisted mostly
of the discussion of two main
topics, (1) the Old Courthouse and (2) the Garnie
Testa book. A brief report
was given also of our day at
the Apple Festival.
1. The Old Courthouse:
how do we make folks aware
of our Historical Society
and of our plans for the Old
Courthouse and what are
the necessary elements for
the success of those plans?
The consensus was that
the essentials are available
funds and committed personnel. Jerry reiterated our
long-term plans as outlined
years ago in our newsletter
and repeated numerous times
since then, “(1) a home for
the Historical Society; (2)
a museum filled with Clay
County treasures; (3) a place
for community functions,
musical programs and theatrical productions; and (4)
probably most attractive and
most attainable, an education
center.”
As for a home for the Historical Society, we did move
into the second floor space
in 1994 and it has become
a repository for historical
writings, records, books,
family histories, documents,
etc., demonstrated in the establishment of our well organized library. This is an
ongoing project with much
material yet to be sorted out
and organized so as to be
available to researchers. For
this, we need additional local
volunteers, and volunteers
to open and supervise the library on a regular schedule.
As an awareness strategy,
for both the Historical Society and the Old Courthouse,
it was suggested that newspaper articles might be the
most effective means. It was
CLAY COUNTY WEATHER
further suggested that the
Charleston newspapers, as
well as local ones, be used.
Betty will contact a Charleston Daily Mail feature writer
whom she knows and suggest to him that he interview
Jerry on the topic of the Old
Courthouse, for the purpose
of doing an article on the
subject. The minutes of the
meeting of October 1, printed in the local newspapers,
will inform local readers.
2. Garnie Testa’s Book on
the History of Education in
Clay County: it is likely that
the large volume of material
will have to be divided into
two parts, namely the teachers’ autobiographies and the
organizational and historical
information of education in
West Virginia and especially
Clay County.
(a) Sandra Claybrook is
in the process of retyping the
historical/organizational part
and could use help from volunteers with good typing and
computer skills.
(b) The autobiographies
have been typed and proofed
and are ready to go. As we
decided in an earlier meeting,
the book will contain only
what Mrs. Testa included;
only the autobiographies of
the teachers who responded
to her request will be printed.
Obviously, this list of Clay
County teachers is limited,
not only by lack of response
but also by the large number
of teachers whom Mrs. Testa
could not contact. It is our
concern that this part of our
county history will be lost.
We are therefore giving
our readers an opportunity to
write about any teachers they
had or know about - unfortunately, many are long gone
and any who would remember them are also long gone,
but there are still many memories of past teachers among
our readers. Tell us what you
remember about your teachers, incidents you remember, or just names of teachers and where they taught,
with approximate dates if
possible.
One long-ago
teacher who was mentioned
was Ruth Loughead Herald,
who taught for many years
in Union District. Many of
her former students still live
in Clay County or in other
counties and states. Send
your stories and other information to the Clay County
Historical Society, P. O. Box
670, Clay. WV 25043. Our
plan is to organize these and
publish them as a supplement to Mrs. Testa’s book.
Since the Board of Education
does not have old records,
information about many of
our county teachers will be
forever lost if we don’t do
something.
In addition to the two topics discussed above, a brief
report was given of our day,
Saturday, September 20,
at the Apple Festival. We
had many visitors, saw old
friends and made new ones,
from the county and other
counties and other states.
Among our book sales, the
Paxton book sales surprised
us and we sold all the cop-
ies we took to the festival.
We do have additional copies, but thoughts of a reprint
came up. Betty will contact
family members of the author, the late Roger Keeney,
about getting permission to
reprint the book. Dustin Bird
also had a display (and sold
a few) of Hickory & Lady
Slippers issues which he has
reprinted. During the day, we
added a few new names to
our membership list.
The meeting adjourned.
Next Meeting: Wednesday,
November 5, 2014 at 1:00
PM in the Clay County Library
Eloise Boggs
Recorder
DHHR Requires Reporting
of Acute Neurologic Illness
Cases with focal limb weakness must be reported immediately
Officials with the West
Virginia Department of
Health and Human Resources Bureau for Public Health
today filed an order requiring health care providers and
health care facilities to report
to the State DHHR all cases
of acute neurologic illness
with focal limb weakness of
unknown etiology (cause or
origination) in children, at
the request of the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
“We have issued the order
today with the Secretary of
State’s Office as a precaution,” said Dr. Letitia Tierney, State Health Officer and
Commissioner for the Bureau for Public Health. “Our
action follows CDC’s Health
Advisory concerning CDC’s
investigation into a potential
link between enterovirus EVD68 and the acute neurologic
illness with focal limb weakness of unknown etiology in
children. CDC’s investigation is continuing and this is
a proactive approach on the
part of the Bureau for Public
Health to track this issue.”
CDC’s investigation is
looking into a cluster of
nine pediatric patients in
Colorado hospitalized with
acute neurologic illness of
undetermined etiology that
might be linked to EV-D68. CDC’s Health Advisory was
shared with providers across
the country to determine if
there are children with simi-
lar clinical and radiographic
findings being cared for in
other states. West Virginia has had four
confirmed cases of EV-D68
in three counties: Greenbrier,
Wirt and Wood. To date, in
West Virginia, there has not
been any report of an acute
neurological illness similar
to that seen in Colorado. “We will continue to follow the CDC investigation
closely and will be monitoring activity in West Virginia,” said Tierney. “In
the meantime, we should
continue taking the standard
enterovirus precautions of
washing hands frequently
with soap and water and covering coughs and sneezes.”
Residents should pay close
attention to respiratory status as difficulty breathing,
or more difficulty than usual,
can be a symptom. There
are no specific treatments
for people with respiratory
illness caused by EV-D68.
There are no anti-viral medications currently available
for those infected with EVD68 nor are there any vaccines to prevent infections
of EV-D68. Since people
with asthma are at greater
risk for respiratory illnesses,
they should take their regular medications and follow
their action plan to maintain
control of their illness during this time. In addition, a
flu shot is recommended for
everyone.
CLAY COUNTY FREE PRESS, Wednesday, October 8, 2014- Page 3
We Get Letters...
Editor,
West Virginians are asked to approve an amendment to the
state constitution this November. A change to the fundamental document for governing our state.
You would think that something as ginormous and significant as a constitutional amendment would benefit the entire
state. The intent of this amendment, however, is to provide
tax favors to ONLY ONE specific business.
Article X of the constitution deals with taxes and clearly
states that “Subject to the exceptions in this section contained,
taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the state . .
. “ The Homestead Exemption gives a small tax break to
EACH and EVERY homeowner over age 65 “throughout the
state.” The proposed amendment will give a very substantial
tax break to ONE specific business.
It would be unethical for the legislature to give special
favors to a particular entity so the amendment doesn’t even
name the business but describes it in cryptic language that
could only fit this particular organization. Oh, the legislature
will then be required to “sweeten the pie” for competing businesses by doling out a few favors for them as well. The tax
code becomes vulnerable to corruption, used to award favors,
forgetting that “taxation shall be equal and uniform throughout the state.”
Who would be the losers if the amendment passes? All the
rest of us! The taxpayers who have been petitioning the legislature for years for relief from burdensome real and personal
property taxes continue to be forgotten.
I would guess that the framers of this original document—
having lately dissolved the bonds between them and slaveowning Virginia—intended to establish a free state where all
were treated equally. Let’s remember that.
Brenda Donnellan
Jane Lew, WV
Editor’s Note:
The following excerpt from the WV Secretary of State
website explains what the amendment is about, and what your
vote, whether for or against, will mean.
On Tuesday, November 4, West Virginia voters will be
asked to vote on a proposed amendment to the Constitution of
West Virginia concerning creating exemptions from property
taxes for certain non-profit youth organizations.
On the ballot, voters will see the title of the amendment:
HARVEST Thank You!!!
Thank you to the Clay County citizens. You have supported
me for the past forty two years in my service to you. I served
you as a teacher for 3 years, a high school principal for 20
years and your school superintendent for 11 years. Together
we had one of the most recognized school systems in the
state of West Virginia. We had visitors from other counties
and even from Ohio, Kentucky and Virginia. They were hoping to capture the magic we had created. Our secret was very
simple. We were dedicated to create a culture of learning. We
tried to support each individual child to help ensure their success.
During the past 8 years I have served you as a county commissioner. We have had many successes during that time period. We have accumulated nearly 5 million dollars in grant
money. We have many numerous updates to a courthouse that
to get facility gardens off on
the right foot. Division of
Corrections officials expect
fresh produce for several
seasons to come, as facilities plan to continue harvest
into fall. A number of centers
have already started planning
for the spring.
Administered under the direction of Commissioner Jim
Rubenstein, Harvest Now
was first launched in West
Virginia in 2013 and is supported by eight correctional
facilities across the state
including Anthony Correctional Center in Greenbrier
County, Beckley Correctional Center in Raleigh County,
Denmar Correctional Center
in Pocahontas County, Huttonsville Correctional Center
in Randolph County, Pruntytown Correctional Center in
Taylor County, Lakin Correctional Center in Mason
County, Parkersburg Correctional Center in Wood
County and St. Marys Correctional Center in Pleasants
County. had not been touched since its construction in the mid 70’s.
We went from zero security cameras to 12 inside and 2 outside. We replaced the manual doors with automatic closures
at both entrances and at the county clerk’s office. We added
magnetic locks to the courtroom, the judges’ chambers and
the probation area for additional security. We now have a
sprinkler system where none existed. In addition, we replaced
every light fixture in the courthouse with new energy efficient
lighting and upgraded the heating and air conditioning units
with energy efficient units. These upgrades will save approximately $10,000 in utility bills each year. The best news is that
all these changes were made with grant money, costing the
taxpayer very little. We even purchased our copy paper and
custodial supplies through the local RESA, saving several
hundred dollars each year.
We were able to acquire the Project Lifesaver Program for
our county through a grant. Deputy Rider, Greg Fitzwater and
I have been trained to use the equipment. Some volunteers at
the Big Otter Fire Department have already been trained and
the Clay and Lizemore Departments will be next. We have already purchased tracking devices for each of the 3 voluntary
fire departments.
Our E911 call center is housed in the Judicial Annex and
has been operating successfully for nearly two years. We not
only dispatch our emergency, fire and police more efficiently, we also created approximately 15 new jobs. Hopefully,
we will find funding to finish the Judicial Annex which will
house the magistrate’s offices, the magistrate clerk and the
sheriff’s field office.
Working through the Lions Club, we have conducted Basket Bingos for over 50 non-profit organizations in the county,
generating over $200,000 in revenue. And, through regular
Monday night bingo, we give away $10,000 in scholarships
to Clay County High graduates each year.
If elected in November, I will continue to serve you for the
next 2 years as a member of the Clay County Board of Education. I believe my 34 years of experience in education can be
very beneficial. Regrettably, if elected, I will have to forfeit
my position as a county commissioner. However, I will have
created a job for someone in Clay County that pays well and
provides benefits. With your support, I will finish my career,
where it began, with the school system.
Again, thank you for your support.

Amendment and a summary of the amendment prepared by
the West Virginia Legislature:
“To amend the State Constitution to exempt from property tax certain properties in this state owned by nonprofit
youth organizations and built at cost of at least $100 million
whether or not the property is used for the nonprofit youth
organization’s charitable or nonprofit purpose to help raise
funds for the benefit of the nonprofit youth organization. If
approved, the Legislature would be required to enact laws
that would protect local and regional businesses from unfair
competition and unreasonable loss of revenue caused by the
nonprofit organization use of the tax exemption.”
Voting “FOR” means you are in favor of the amendment
and would allow the nonprofit youth organization to use the
property for other purposes without losing its currently available charitable use property tax exemption. Before taking effect, the Legislature would have to pass laws that define the
types of use of the property and that protect non-tax-exempt
businesses from unfair competition. Voting “AGAINST” means that you are against the amendment and would not allow for the property tax exemption if
the property is used for non-charitable purposes.

of State at 304-558-6000 or online, http://www.sos.wv.gov/

It was sweet, and it was
sad. When folks gathered at
the Bethel Methodist Church
Fellowship Building for the
25th reunion of Hagar Grade
School, it was a time of love
and friendship, reminiscing
and remembering the ones
who are no longer with us.
Although some of us are on
canes and requiring assistance, it was good to gather
together one more time.
Many, many years have
passed since we attended
the two-room grade school,
but memories are vivid and
the ties of friendship grow
tighter.
It was an honor to have
Mrs. Frances White to organize and oversee the gathering, and who puts in such
hard work to make the reunion successful. Her husband Richard (Lip) White
passed away this summer,
and it was difficult without
him by her side. We are all
so grateful to her, and for her
devotion to this reunion and
the community.
Attending were many former students and friends.
Harland (Doc) Walls came
from Widen, Clyde Salyers
from Freeport, Ohio, Arlene
Kaye (Brown) Jett from Little Hocking, Ohio, Jerry L.
Plaugher from Belpre, Ohio
and Keyota Jarvis from Maysel.
Also attending was Sylvia
Hope (Brown) Summers of
Ovapa, Lorraine Rose also
of Ovapa, Bill Hanshaw of
Spencer, Mike and Peggy
(White) Bragg of Leon,
James P. Summers of Ovapa,
Norma (Summers) Colcamp
and Pam May of Mogadore,
Ohio, Charlotte Jett of Maysel and Jerry and Brenda
Rogers of Summersville.
Mary Ellen (O’Dell)
Friend came from Ravenswood, Oliver (Sonny) and
Myrtle Belle (Brown) Arbogast from Elkview with their
son Oliver, Jr. (Wendell.)
Linda (White) and Tawny
Boggs came from Rupert
and Betty M. Haynes came
from Scott Depot, along with
Hope (McKown) Slack.
Attending from Ovapa
was Jerry (Dink) and Bonnie
(King) White, Mildred Summers (our oldest student, I
think) Sandy (White) Potasnik, Jerry and Judy (Summers) Duke, Angie (Walker)
and Mitchell Adkins and
Alexa, and Jaden Walker.
Doris (King) Long came
from French Creek, Mary
(King) Samples from Rush,
Evelyn (Eagle) McLaughlin
from Procious, Charlie and
Susie (O’Dell) Loomis from
Given, Jerry Samples from
South Carolina and Criss
and Alyce Faye (O’Dell) of

Others attending were Bob
Thomas of Belle, Wanita
(Oxley) Gray of Clay and
Otto Brown of Fola. We
apologize if we have omitted anyone’s name, as some
did not sign the register. We
appreciate everyone who attended and hope to see you
next year.

“WE TREAT OTHERS AS WE LIKE TO BE TREATED OURSELVES”
Matthew 7:12

THE BAPTIST
CLASSROOM
By Pastor John Pruitt
MY SHEPHERD
Psalm 23:5
Romans 8:28 “And we know that all things
work together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called according to
his purpose.” Have you ever been in a certain
predicament in your life and wonder how the
things that have happened to you could ever
be for your present or eternal good? The answer to the question is really simple when we
view it from God’s perspective. It is because
our spiritual, and emotional strength, and
well-being lies in our dependency of God.
This is found to be so in Psalms 40:16, 17.
“Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be
glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation
says continually, the Lord be magnified. But
I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh
upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer;
make no tarrying, O my God.” We know that
we have God’s care and protection because
of Psalms 121:4; “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. Psalms
32:7, “Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt
preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass
me about with songs of deliverance. Selah.”
First, David says, “Thou Preparest a Table before Me in the Presence of Mine Enemies...” On a battle field, the solders have to
eat when they can and be constantly vigilant
and hope they do not come under fire during the meal. The peace of the saint of God
in the midst of a world system who wishes
that they be destroyed is unexplainable to the
world; it is a peace that passes all understanding. Remember that the Lord is our Shepherd
and because of that fact, we shall not want
for what we need. That is a divine promise.
In Exodus 12 God instructed the people to
eat in hast, with their travel cloths on, their
walking shoes on their feet and their walking
stick in their hand. They were to eat in hast,
not in fear and they were to trust in God’s
provision in the presence of their enemies.
Psalms 107:29 says, “He maketh the storm a
calm, so that the waves thereof are still.” you
may also pause at this time and read Mark
4:35-40.
Ok, if you are finished with that read-
ing, notice that Psalm 23:5 is a scene of
calm in the midst of the storm. What does
David mean by ENEMIES? Well, Romans
8:7 shows us: Because the carnal mind [is]
enmity against God: for it is not subject to
the law of God, neither indeed can be. And
James 4:4 informs: Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of
the world is enmity with God? Whosoever
therefore will be a friend of the world is the
enemy of God. And then our Lord states in
Matthew 10:22, And ye shall be hated of all
men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth
to the end shall be saved.
Now, the greatest enemy of mankind including the saints is death itself. Psalms
22:29, All they that be fat upon earth shall
eat and worship: all they that go down to
the dust shall bow before him: and none
can keep alive his own soul. Nevertheless,
God has prepared a peaceful table even in
the presence of this greatest enemy. Psalms
23:4 yea, though I walk through the valley of
the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for
thou [art] with me; thy rod and thy staff they
comfort me. It is through the suffering, death,
shed blood and resurrection of our Lord Jesus
Christ that this great enemy death has been
conquered. 1 Corinthians 15:25-26, “For he
must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.” It would do the saint good
to take the time and read 1 Corinthians 15
in its entirety. There is much encouragement
to the child of God to know that, because of
the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ on
the cross and His victorious resurrection, you
have been given eternal life and in the end,
we shall mock death and laugh in its face.
Death can never harm the child of God; for
we read in 1 Corinthians 15:55-57, “O death,
where [is] thy sting? O grave, where [is] thy
victory? The sting of death is sin; and the
strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to
God, which giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ.” Don’t forget your homework, 1 Corinthians 15. E-mail, johnpruitt@

FAITH
Heb. 11:6 But without faith it is impossible
to please him: for he that cometh to God must
believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of
them that diligently seek him. According to
what the above verse declares, it is not possible to please God unless you are in possession of and are indeed exercising that thing
called faith.
Faith is more than nodding your head in
agreement or verbally declaring that you believe something is true. At some point everyone has some portion of faith. God’s word
declares: Ro 12:3 For I say, through the grace
given unto me, to every man that is among
you, not to think of himself more highly than
he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the
measure of faith. Some fail to use it, some
fail to feed it with the Word of God, some turn
their back on it, but at some point everyone
has faith in some specific measure. But look
what it says in 2 Thes. 3:2 And that we may
be delivered from unreasonable and wicked
men: for all men have not faith. What happened? Some have rejected faith and chosen
their own path. They cannot please God.
Faith is more than a hope or an expec-
tation. Faith is completely relying on or
trusting that something shall be. Hebrews
11:1 tells us “Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not
seen.” Faith, real faith has substance and it
has evidence. Faith has the power to resist
temptation and refuses to give ground when
opposed by opinions, bad reports or even
threats and accusations. Faith has no plan
“b”. Faith is not even based on fact because
fact’s change. Faith is rooted in truth. The
truth of God’s Word does not change because
God does not change. Faith must be fed to be sustained. God’s
Word is the answer. When we truly hear
God’s word down in our spirit, faith comes. Ro 10:17 So then faith cometh by hearing,
and hearing by the word of God. Many listen but fail to hear. You may memorize a
verse of scripture without truly hearing the
message it contains. However, when you
hear the message from God; when you are
quickened in your heart, that word comes
alive and has power in it. Read Hebrews
11:6 again. Faith has wonderful rewards.

Without Vision the People Perish
By Lee Roy Anderson
Where there is no vision the people perish but, he that keepeth the law happy is
he, Proverbs 29:18. No vision of the consequences of sin brings death. For the wages of
sin is death but, the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23.
People need a vision of God. Look not at the
things which are seen, but look at the things
which are not seen. For the things which
are seen are temporal but the things which
are not seen are eternal. 2nd Cor 4:18. Keep
looking unto Jesus. Is your heavenly home
bright and clear? Do you feel like traveling
on? A servant who refuseth correction will
not obey Proverbs 29:19. A servant who is
delicately trained and chastened will become
as a son as a love servant, verse 21. Be not
hasty with words, verse20. Be swift to hear
slow to speak, slow to wrath. James 1:19 an
angry man delights in discord and causes
violence. Proverbs 29:22 an angry man stirs
up strife and a furious man abounds in transgression. A man’s pride shall bring him low
but honor shall uphold the humble in spirit.
Verse 23. Review Luke 18:10-14 the humble
publican shall be exalted but the proud Pharisee shall be abased. God resisteth the proud,
but giveth grace unto the humble, James 4:
6-10. 1st Peter 5:5-6. A partner with a thief
hateth his own soul he heareth cursing evil
and betrayeth it not, verse 24. He loves darkness because his deeds are evil. The fear of
man bringeth a snare. Verse 25. It brings a
loss of self-control and a change of priorities.
But whosoputeth his trust in the Lord shall be
safe. Verse 25. Many seek the ruler’s favor,
but ultimately everyman shall be judged by
Jesus Christ. The wicked hate he that is upright in the way. Verse 27. Never be ashamed
of Jesus, of his people of his cross, glory in
his cross. Remember you cannot wrong and
die right.
In Loving Memory of Glenn Drake
October 9, 1986 - September 14, 2014
Remembering
you is easy, we
do it everyday.
Missing you is the
heartache that
never goes away.
A thousand
words won’t
bring you back,
we know because
we’ve tried neither will a million tears,
we know, because we’ve cried.
Each happiness of yesterday is a
memory for tomorrow.
Always on our minds; forever in our
hearts.
We would like to thank everyone that
came to offer their condolences during
our family’s time of need. Thank you
to everyone that came and prayed and
comforted us. We are appreciative of
everyone that donated financially to
the funeral expense, brought food, sent
flowers and the phone calls to check
on our family during this difficult time.
A special thank you to BJ Smith with
Wilson, Shamblin, Smith Funeral Home
for all his help and compassion.
Love, The Drake/Cummings Family
Maranatha!
In Memory
Thank You
We would like to thank
everyone who helped
us in any way with the
death of our beloved
Mark Holcomb. Especially we thank the ladies
of Middle Creek Baptist
Church.
Our grateful thanks
and appreciation, Sheila,
Tim, Him and the Holcomb Families.
In loving memory of William G. Francis (Dugan) and
Betty J. McKinney. They were companions for 18 years.
Betty is our mom; she passed away on July 14, 1999. Dugan was like a father to us. We may not be blood related
but, we have been with Dugan for thirty some years. Dugan went to join our mom and brother Elwood McKinney
in heaven on August 15, 2014. Dugan loved us all. We
were family to him and our kids were his grandkids. He
adored his great grand kids Hannah, Caleb, and Tyler
as well. He loved all the kids, he didn’t know a stranger.
We had a family reunion for him this past summer and
he really enjoyed it. He would join us for holiday dinners
and we all had a great time. We loved Dugan; he will be
greatly missed by us all.
Love, the McKinney Family

OCTOBER
By Robert Frost
O hushed October morning
mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to
the fall;
Tomorrow’s wind, if it be
wild,
Should waste them all
The crows above the forest
call;
Tomorrow they may form
and go.
O hushed October morning
mild,
Begin the hours of this day
slow.
Make the day seem to us
less brief.
Hearts not averse to being
beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you
know.
Release one leaf at break of
day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far
away.
Retard the sun with gentle
mist;
Enchant the earth with
amethyst.
Slow, slow!
For the grapes’ sake, if they
were all,
Whose leaves already are
burnt with frost,
Whose clustered fruit must
else be lost—
For the grapes’ sake along
the wall.
“Lo, there is dawning
another new day. . .” It is
emerging out of the shadowy
mist; taking shape as the sun
is hidden behind the white
cover of fog that veils the
hills this morning. We had
the promise of a fair day, as
the spectacular sunset last
evening glowed red.
We were brought up on the
old maxim of “red clouds at
night, the sailor’s delight.”
We could imagine a crew of
sailors at sea, looking out at
the red sunset and rejoicing
in the promise of a fair day of
sailing. The other quotation
was, “red skies at morning,
shepherds take warning.”
We heard these old sayings
all our lives, as well as the
country dialect that we still
use. As Mom would say, “It
was mizzling rain this morning.”
The incomparable days of
October lie before us, ready
to be used as we will. I’d
like to hoard these golden
autumn days as a miser does
his gold, hiding them away
in a secret treasure chest.
Then in the dead of winter, I
would take one out and enjoy
a day of October’s sunshine
and vivid blue skies. Since
that is impossible, I want to
savor each day to the fullest.
As I wander down a country road, absorbing all the
sights and sounds and smells
of the fall season, I walk and
commune with God. I see
Him in the blooming of the
wild asters, their blue flowers
reflecting the blue of the sky.
I hear Him in the song of a
solitary bird, hidden somewhere in the underbrush
and sending a song of praise
to the Creator. I smell the
sweet incense of His presence in the honeyed perfume
of the wild white asters. He
is very near.
Our garden is gone, but
Nature gives of her best this
time of year. Paw-paws are
turning dark, soft and sweet.
One of my grandchildren,
when coaxed to “try just one”
exclaimed, “Why, they taste
just like custard!” Well, they
are sometimes called custard
apples, although the texture
is more like a well-ripened
banana than an apple. My
late Aunt Lucille would walk
a country mile for one of
these ripe paw-paws.
It is the season for persimmons, but they have to be
touched with frost to be soft
and delicious. If you’ve ever
eaten a green persimmon,
you won’t make that mistake
again. Son Kevin has some
large persimmon trees on
his farm, but seems as if the
cows love them too. It’s a
contest to see who gets them
first.
Fall mushrooms have been
making an appearance, and
would abound if we get some
more rain. We’ve had a couple of nice puffballs lately,
which we ate promptly. I
have found that after slicing them and rolling them in
flour, and then in an egg-milk
mixture, and rolling them in
bread crumbs, they are better. Folks who turn up their
noses at wild mushrooms are
missing some delicious food.
The meadow mushrooms,
which we have always called
“Bradleys” are usually plentiful this time of year. I like
to simply sauté them in butter and eat them for breakfast with an egg. Sometimes
we find the sulphur shelf or
chicken mushroom while it
is young and tender. This
choice wild mushroom can
be used in recipes instead
of chicken, and it is scrumptious.
Late evening sun has
broken through the overcast
sky, and nightfall will soon
be here. As soon as the sun
begins its descent down behind our hills, we are blessed
with the spectacular sunsets
of autumn. The western horizon turns from shell pink
to deep rose, shot through
with streaks of gold. The
sky changes from minute to
minute, deepening to mauve
and violet before the gray
shadows of night prevail.
Night falls in the hills,
and a thin sickle moon cuts
through the dark sky. A few
crickets still cry, but their call
grows dimmer as the nights
become colder. Stars appear,
one by one, and fill the sky
with pinpoints of light. The
blue October day is gone, but
the memory of it will linger
and warm the heart. Bedtime
beckons, and a warm blanket
feels good. Sleep is sweet
when the conscience is clear,
and you have walked with
God all through the day. We
can be assured that He will
watch over us while we take
our rest.
WEAVING
Author Unknown
My life is but a weaving
Between my Lord and me
I can but choose the colors;
He worketh steadily.
Ofttimes He weaveth sorrow,
And I, in foolish pride
Forget He sees the upper,
And I the other side.
Not till the loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly
Shall God unroll the canvas
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as
needful
In the weaver’s hand
As the threads of gold and
silver
In the pattern He has
planned.
Precious thought, our Father
knoweth,
Careth for His child,
Bids me nestle closer to Him
When the storm beats wild.
Well I know the heart that
planneth
Naught but good to me:
Joy and sorrow interwoven,
Love in all I see.
(When I would beget content and increase confidence
in the power and wisdom
and providence of Almighty
God, I will walk the meadows by some gliding stream,
and there contemplate the
lilies that take no care, and
those very many other little
living creatures that are not
only created, but fed (man
knows not how) by the goodness of the God of Nature,
and therefore trust in Him—
Izaak Walton)
When You Know You
Are Loved
By Joseph J. Mazzella
What do we all want in this
life? The answer is simple.
We want happiness. We may
take many different paths to
reach it, but happiness is the
final destination we all are
trying to reach. Many of us
pursue it in things, work, and
people. Others try to create
it in what they think and do.
Yet, happiness remains elusive. Like a butterfly it flies
away each time you try to
catch it, but can come and
land on your shoulder when
you least expect it.
The times that I have
found to be the happiest in
my own life have been the
times when I knew I was
loved. I can remember as a
boy sitting in a chair with
my Mom by the warm stove
while she read books to me.
I can remember coming in
the door after playing outside to a warm hug from my
Nana and a piece of freshly
baked Italian bread. I can
remember squeezing into a
recliner with my Dad when
he got home from work so
we could watch my favorite
TV show. I can remember
playing touch football with
my brothers. 1 can remember
the first kiss I ever got from
a girl. I can remember holding each of my newborn children in my arms for the first
time. I can remember seeing
them get off the school bus
and running into my arms. 1
can remember all the hugs,
laughs, smiles, and “1 Love
You’s” that they filled my
life with.
I can also remember the
countless times that God
showed me how much He
loved me. These miracle moments came in glorious sunrises and beautiful sunsets.
They came in cool morning breezes full of birdsong.
They came in the changing leaves, the first snow of
winter, and the hot summer
afternoons. They came in
flowers, fireflies, and butterflies. They came in words I
read and songs 1heard. They
came in quiet moments of
silence, peace, and prayer.
They came every day whether I noticed them or not. I just
hope to spend the rest of my
life taking them in, passing
them on, and thanking God
for them with all my heart.
Know that you are loved
then. Know that you are
loved eternally and unconditionally. Know that God
loves you with a power beyond understanding. And
know that you can love as
well. If there is one thing
greater than the joy of being
loved, it is the joy of loving.
Share your own love today.
Love God. Love yourself.
Love everyone else. Love
life, this world, and all of
your days in it. Love and be
happy today, tomorrow, and
always.

Panthers squeeze by Pirates
Well, the CCHS Panthers
sure know how to get the
adrenalin flowing in a football game. If you were there
Friday night, you know what
I mean. With bad weather
looming, the Panthers took
the field against the Pirates of
Fayetteville. The game went
well for the Panthers with
Zach Ahart and Stephen Cole
both notching a touchdown
in their pistol grip. The extra
point was good on one and
blocked on the other to make
the score 13-0 Panthers. The
defense, well, what can you
say? They are tough and get
the job done. They held the
Pirates to a goose egg till late
in the fourth quarter. The
Pirate defense got to work
as well, holding the Panthers back. Key mistakes,
seemingly bad calls, and
good calls - they are in every
game, but in the end it is who
has the most heart when the
buzzer sounds. With roughly
14 seconds left in the game,
the Pirates had racked up
12 points and were pushing
to either win the game with
a two point conversion or
tie it up. They went for the
tie, and with just seconds to
spare, Robert Pritt and Cody
Lockhart combined on a
block and dashed the hopes
of the Pirates. It was a great
game, and with this week
off, the boys will have time
to heal up before the next
tough games against Sis-
Robert Pritt and Cody Lockhart combine on the block.

sonville and Ravenswood.
Congratulations Panthers on
your Homecoming win! The
CCMS Mustangs also won
over Vinson this week and
will be having their Homecoming game this Thursday
at Bradley Field. Come out
and show your Blue and
Gold spirit.
From the desk of Mary Ramsey,
Clay High Athletic Director
Homecoming Week a Success? YES!
The rain held off until after half time. The Queen and Her Court look radiant.
Panthers were victorious. The Volleyball team was successful bringing home road wins.
Seniors won the 'spirit stick'. (Sardines and Peanutbutter, no fear.)
What more could one ask for.
With the threat of bad weather on the horizon and umbrellas at hand, the half time
festivities at the Homecoming game went
off without a hitch. It was queen’s night in
Clay County; Homecoming Queen McKinzie Barker, along with her court, graced the
football field to the cheers of fans. McKinzie
Barker, escorted by the gentleman’s gentleman Wyatt Dawson, strode across the field
with the confidence and beauty of a Queen of
England and with the heart of a lioness. Not
only can McKinzie own the fashion world on
the red carpet, but she can also be a beast on
the basketball court where she is well known
throughout the land as “Kinz”. She shows the
best of both worlds and is the perfect queen
for Homecoming 2014. Her escort, Gentleman Wyatt Dawson, is also well known for
his social graces. However, when the gloves
are off and the games begin, you will want
to be home in a lazy chair - it’s the safest
place. When the suit comes off, there is a
big W there somewhere, and it doesn’t stand
for wimp or whiney. Congratulations to both
McKinzee Barker and her escort Wyatt Dawson. You both embody the CCHS Panther
spirit school well. However, they were not
the only ones on the field. The Homecoming
court along with their escorts also graced the
field with their presence. They were: Senior
Princess, Haley Powell along with escort
Cody Lockhart, Junior Princess, Sarah Elswick, along with escort Zach Davis, Sophomore Princess, Kailyn Morton along with escort Reece Nichols, and Freshman Princess,
Alexis Blake along with escort Ethan Meadows. They all represented the school and
their families very splendidly. Once again,
congratulations to the Queen and her court.

About
Natural Gas
Natural gas leaks are rare. But they
can happen. Your senses will alert you
if a leak occurs.
Sight
Escaping gas affects the
nutrients in soil, so discolored
soil or dead vegetation near a
pipeline may indicate a leak. Dirt
or water blowing up from the
ground may indicate a natural
gas leak.
Sound
Natural gas leaks may make
a hissing or a high-pitched
whistling noise. Noises will vary
based on the line pressure.
Smell
A strong odor of natural gas can
indicate unburned fuel in the air.
Because the gas is odorless, a
sulfur based odorant is added
to give it a rotten-egg smell
that warns of its presence. Be
alert for this odorant or any
petroleum smell.
If you believe a natural gas leak is
occurring, leave the area immediately
and notify Peoples by calling
1.800.253.3928 or dial 9-1-1.
If you plan excavation work, remember
to contact the West Virginia One
Call System before digging to have
our facilities located. Dial 811, or
1.800.245.4848.
Call before you dig–it’s the law.
