Growers and End
Users React to Poultry
Litter Regulations
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
No Trucks Allowed in the Pool
Cattle and dairy farmers as well as
poultry growers are balking at proposed emergency regulations on
poultry litter being shipped from
Hardy and Hampshire counties to
Greenbrier and Monroe counties.
The regulations have been proposed
by the West Virginia Department of
Agriculture to protect primary poultry breeders.
Both sides spoke at a public hearing held Monday, Aug. 20 at the
WVDA facility in Moorefield.
The proposed regulations would
limit application of poultry litter
inside a three-mile radius around 22
primary breeding houses in Greenbrier and Monroe counties. The
breeder farms, owned by Aviagen
Group, are responsible for the breeding of pedigree broilers and turkeys.
Cattle and dairy farmers in those
counties use poultry litter as fertilizer
for their corn and soybean crops. It
provides a natural and affordable
alternative to commercial fertilizer.
The proposed regulations would
require poultry litter to be composted for 60 days before it is
shipped. The regulations would also
require testing for Avian Influenza,
Mycoplasma and salmonella and certification from the state veterinarian
those tests are negative.
Dr. John Tomblinson, a licensed
veterinarian and cattle farmer from
Greenbrier County, testified the regulations are onerous and another
example of the government telling
farmers what they can and cannot do
with their land.
“Three miles is 18,000 acres,” he
said. “We’ve used 5,000 tons of poultry litter in the past two years. We
plan on using 10,000 tons this year.
The value of poultry litter is infinite.
My farm’s savings last year was
$69,000. It’s organic and not dependent on petroleum. There is no science
to support a 60-day composting. This

Last Tuesday evening, an individual crashed into the outside wall of the Hardy County Health &
Wellness Center. The vehicle, a truck, jumped the curb of the last parking spot near the rear of
the center where the swimming pool is located. The brick wall was smashed and debris
scattered into the pool area. No one was injured in the accident. The pool had to be fully
drained and cleaned. As of last Thursday, the pool had been filled and the mix of chemicals
applied and will be tested before anyone is permitted back into the pool. “We had people in
the center at the time of the accident, but no one was hurt. By the time the paper comes out,
we should be good to go,” HCHWC Director Morgan See stated. The swimming pool and
activities related to swimming should begin normal activity this week. There is plywood erected
at the site of the crash and crews will be repairing the exterior wall soon. The insurance adjustors
have not come for an appraisal at this time.

Superintendent
Explains Lack of Survey
During the public comment portion of the Aug. 20 Board of Education meeting, Darwin Simmons
posed the question that has puzzled
many since the last Board meeting
was reported.
Simmons said he had supported
the bond issue but was disappointed
to read that the architect designed a
building not on property owned by
the school board.
Architects Williamson/ Shriver,
designed a two-story academic building to be constructed perpendicular
to U.S. Route 220-Main Street,
located north of the existing facility.
The property line was shorter than
previously thought so the school had
to be redesigned.
Superintendent of Schools Barbara Whitecotton explained why the
survey was not done. The cost of a
survey prior to the passage of the
bond was not standard procedure.
“Surveys are done afterward,” she
said. In the event the bond didn’t
pass, “It would be a wasted expense.”
“Everybody thought the line was
straight. Both landowners thought
the line was straight.”
Whitecotton said, “I believe the
redesign is better.” She said the
footprint was smaller as was the roof
due to the expanded two-story segment on the area occupied by the
1941 portion of Moorefield High
School. “We anticipate less cost and
less time to construct.”
The Superintendent reminded
people that prior to passage of the
bond issue “one thing the board said
was that we would not purchase
land.”
“We also made a point of being
transparent as promised,” she said, in
discussing this issue in public.
Another positive is that students
will be housed in temporary classrooms that come in pods. These are
not doublewide trailers, but new
structures that contain a cluster of
classrooms with bathroom facilities
in each one. The pods have both
heating and air conditioned regulated much better than students had
in the old segment of the high school.
The architect estimates that students will only be in the pods for 15
to 16 months.
Whitecotton addressed the concerns about the increased taxes. She
again reminded people that the taxes

Architects Present MHS Redesign
Architects Greg Williamson and Bill Ratcliffe of Williamson Shriver
Architects presented Moorefield High School staff and interested citizens
with a preview of the redesigned facility last week.
A redesign was necessary when it was found that a portion of the proposed new section of the high school was on land not owned by the Hardy
County Board of Education.
The plan now calls for completely demolishing the 1941 segment of the
high school for new classrooms, administrative area and library. All
remaining classroom facilities will be gutted and remodeled once the new
segment is complete. On the north end a theater/performance area will be
constructed as previously planned, an auxiliary gym will be added and the
existing cafeteria-library-classroom area will also be gutted and remodeled.
Architects need to determine student flow, reroute utilities, and continue working with school personnel as to their needs. Actual schematics
are still a work in progress but will be available soon for the public to see.
According to Williamson it may not be necessary to build a two-story
structure yet maintain the same number of classrooms as planned in the
previous design.
He also stated that the length of construction would be shortened
under this plan.
During construction students will be housed in classroom pods.
The architects also met with East Hardy High School personnel and
parents on Aug. 21 to continue discussions about plans for that school.
Beth Dolan
Moorefield. Her grandfather, John
Mathias, was principal of Moorefield
High School for several decades.
“My parents divorced when I was
very young,” she said. “But I spent
the summers hanging around the
Moorefield town pool, so I know a lot
of the people in this community.”

Council Mulls Projects’ Funding
Moorefield’s City Council met
Aug. 21 to discuss concerns and work
on policies.
Councilwoman Carol Zuber,
speaking for the Park Commission,
asked if Phyllis Cole could do grant
writing for the Park under her contract with the Town.
Cole is a consultant who has
worked with the town to obtain funding for a variety of projects, most
recently the regional water treatment
plant.
Councilman Marshall “Chip”
Combs said Cole’s contract would
have to checked for the specifics of
her duties.
Office Manager Phyllis Sherman
said the contract was broad and that
Cole had good ideas about obtaining
funds for the proposed depot, the
park and the historic buildings owned
by the town.
The Council agreed to ask Cole to
help.
State Fire Commission
Councilman Doug Mongold, who
is also a member of the WV State
Fire Commission, reported that the
Commission voted at their July meeting to implement 90 new National
Fire Protection Association standards.
If the standards go into effect
Mongold said, “There was no way the
cities and counties could afford to
enact them.” He went on to say that
homeowners would not be able to
afford fire insurance.
“No one in the state is meeting
the standards,” said Mongold. “If
the standards are not met, the line
officers of each fire company could
be held criminally responsible.”
The new standards force weight
requirements, eliminates any fireman
with diabetes, requires annual equipment testing, and requires fire companies to use equipment that is less
than 25 years old.
Mongold said if the standards
were approved, the Moorefield Fire

Beth Dolan is taking her job as
the new executive director of the
Hardy County Convention and Visitors Bureau to heart. Last Wednesday, in the pouring rain, she spotted a
group of motorcyclists who had
stopped under an overhang on Main
Street in Moorefield.
Grabbing the CVB’s brochure
“Riding the High Five,” she ran to
the motorcyclists, introduced herself
and gave them copies of the
brochure.
“It turned out they were from
Wisconsin and heading for Washington, D.C.,” Dolan said. “I just gave
them a little piece of Hardy County.
Maybe they won’t stay here this time,
but they might have a happy memory
of their visit.”
Born Dawn Elizabeth Mathias,
Dolan grew up in Atlanta, Ga., but
spent spring breaks and summers
with her father, Dave Mathias, in
Dolan came to Moorefield to live
with her father in 1989 and graduated from Moorefield High School in
1990. She attended Gwinnett Technical College in Georgia and earned a
degree in fashion merchandising.
“After school, I worked in retail,
selling shoes, clothes, jewelry,” she
said. “Then I got into selling window
treatments.”
The company for which Dolan
worked had strictly commercial customers, but wanted to expand into
the residential market. “I grew that
part of the business and eventually
we sold only to builders,” she said.
But then the housing market
crashed. The company closed and in
September 2010, Dolan lost her job.
“In July 2010, I came to my 20th
high school reunion and reconnected
with Tony Dolan,” she said. “We
knew each other in high school. We
spent a lot of time talking on the
phone between July and September

OPINION
Notes at Summer’s end
With the holiday weekend coming up, we want to remind
you that hand held cell phones are illegal to use while driving. So is texting, but then, if you can’t hold them you can’t
text. Right?
So help out the police and emergency squads who have to
clean up wrecks caused by people who stupidly think they
can multi-task while trying to drive a couple of tons of metal
at high speeds on the highway.
If you have an emergency and have to send a message,
pull over to the side of the road. And if you don’t use a
hand’s free cell phone, do the same any time you have the
urge to talk to someone.
**********
Alecia Sirk, who served as executive director for the
Chamber of Commerce and in the same position for the
Convention and Visitors Bureau, has resigned both positions
to join her husband in the Northern Panhandle. Alecia has
been an excellent person to be in those positions as both
organizations began operating in the county.
She understood social media. She had the background to
organize both groups and she was full of ideas.
Her efforts have been appreciated and will be missed.
**********
Which leads us to our next comment. Alecia was hoping
to get the Community Development Committee up and running again. This group began after the Flood of ’85 recovery
was put to rest.
Mayor LaMar Sager thought the regular meetings held by
that recovery group had been excellent for informing both
the public and the groups who were represented in the meetings. He invited agencies and organizations to attend meetings in Inskeep Hall every couple of months and report what
was happening.
Education, highways, manufacturing, health, law enforcement, municipalities, agriculture, county government, service groups and more were regularly represented and gave
updates. Many had been covered by this paper, but the CDC
gatherings brought it all together under one roof. It was a
good thing.
With Alecia’s departure, we urge the Town of Moorefield
to pick up her idea and once again activate the Community
Development Committee. It gives voice to what’s going on in
the county.
However, if Moorefield doesn’t want to sponsor the CDC,
we hope the County Commission or the Town of Wardensville or WVU Extension will pick up the gauntlet and
move forward.
MY UNBASED OPINION
Doghouse, Moore’s Run, last SunBY
day in August, sixty-seven years old,
DAVID O.
pellet stove. Early morning thoughts.
Late life thoughts.
HEISHMAN
I cleaned out gourd house yesterday. Gotta make room to hang this
year’s crop to dry. A major crop, some
really big ones. I’ll need extra room. A
dirty stinking job, but I persisted and
prevailed.
To Doghouse to bathe in the creek before supper. Cold. Water every bit as
chilly as first bath I took there this past spring. Day temperatures may be hitting eighty-five degrees, but some nights are hitting fifty-five. Season is changing. Next farm bath I take will be in Big House’s brand new bathroom I paid
for last year. A warm shower with wall mounted gas heater should do the trick.
I woke once last night. A steady rain shower tickled Doghouse’s metal roof
close overhead. Not a hard rain, no storm with it, just pleasant natural music
that put me right back to sleep.
Woke again. Dead dark, but it felt like morning. Had to pee. Wet deck
boards reminded me it had rained. Back inside, the question. Should I go to
Big House and start my day with pancakes, eggs and puddin or should I sit and
enjoy a Doghouse daybreak. Pap’s old recliner groaned at my decision.
My list. Advancing age makes to-do lists more important. I have one just
for Doghouse.
Wood. Time to get winter’s wood supply stacked beneath Doghouse.
Nights will soon be thirty-five instead of fifty-five. There’s plenty of wood
already split, left over from last year plus summer storms supplied more broken oak tops than I can use.
Window. Doghouse has a new double hung window to replace the nonfunctional squirrel torn old binding screen mess I’ve been contending with. Window is installed, but I’ve never finished trimming the inside. Strange drafts
through uncovered cracks may make winter living uncomfortable.
Creek step. I have a large cut sandstone I’ll dig into Moore’s Run’s bank
for a step when I fill big tea kettles and my inside bucket. Grassy bank is slippery enough without adding winter’s snow and ice.
Hand rail. Older folks (my age) appreciate steadier holds when they climb
up and down steep stairs. Doghouse’s deck steps are short but steep. Since
steps are hinged to swing up away from cow’s rubbing butts, hand rail needs to
be movable too. I’ve got a design in my head. Just need to build it.
Wood for comfort. Window for convenience. Creek step and hand rail for
safety. A few moments quiet reflection on how much more important those
things are at sixty-seven than they were at forty-seven or even fifty-seven. Creature comforts and elimination of hazards become more important with advancing age.
Thoughts of my new pellet stove at Big House intruded. It’s not hooked up
yet, but soon will be. Need a new electrical outlet. A thermostat. All the
warmth I’ll need at the flick of a switch. One of my old recliners, worn yet still
comfortable, awaits my butt nearby.
No getting up at night to feed the stove. No pulling Doghouse’s door knob
hay string to let in cooling fresh air when I begin to sweat. No poking door shut
again with Grandpa’s old farm walking stick when my feet get chilly. Oh, how
wonderful modern comfort will be.
Maybe, but if I have anything to say about it, someday family or folks will
find I’ve died peacefully smiling beside Moore’s Run rather than beside that
thermostat.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
I have been trying to wrap my
brain around the “whoops” mistake
involving the placement of the
Moorefield High School building
designed by Williamson Shriver
Architects. This firm formulated an
architectural design that was presented to the School Board and then
to the public for discussion and
approval. The tax payers of Hardy
County were asked to vote and thus
approve tens of millions of dollars for
this project. This school improvement program was presented, with its
architectural designs and footprints
showing placement and proximity to
adjoining structures, streets and
properties. This was all done without, it seems, someone taking a tape
measure and figuring out whether or
not the building would fit on the
property. Not only will the building
not fit, where it was designed to be
placed as shown on the plans of
07/15/11, but it may not even be in
that particular area. And, now it
seems the smooth transition of demolition and building being seamless
and non-disruptive has also been
canned. There will now be the need
to purchase trailers for the students
to be housed during this transition.
There is no money budgeted for this
small oversight. It cannot come from
the School Bond funds.
Here is what would take place in
the private sector. A client hires an
architect to design an addition to his
house. The client and architect
approve the drawings/architectural
renderings. The client goes to the
bank and applies for and gets the
loan for the project. Then, the architect says, “By the way, the house we
designed and you borrowed money
for will not fit on your lot, maybe not
even on that side of the street. And,
it is a pity, but you will have to buy a
trailer to move into while we demolish part of your existing structure.
And, could someone show us again
where these property side lines are?
One more thing, I will need some
additional funds up front to pay for
the redesign of your home.” This is
when everyone would end up in
court.
As I see it, Hardy County has yet
to turn over the first shovel of dirt for
the 40 plus million dollar school
improvement project and we are
already over budget. The tax payer is
already being dealt a “bait and
switch” scenario. Here is what you
approved and voted on and here is
what you get. And, by the way, there
is no money in the budget for the
trailers and I doubt that Williamson
and Shriver are going to redesign the
entire project pro bono.
In closing, I find it difficult to
understand how any architectural
firm could be involved in a multimillion dollar project, at this 4th quarter
of the design process, only to come to
the realization that the Moorefield
High School building they designed
will not fit where they said it would.
Furthermore, I find it ballsy that, due
to this oversight, we the tax payers
will end up paying for trailers. And,
it is just beginning. Two years from
now it will be interesting to see what
is said about the cost overruns.

********
Dear Editor,
As I read The Moorefield Examiner of Wednesday, August 15, 2012 I
found an article which I find I have to
respond to and that is to defend the
dead-one Clifton Jenkins whom I
first met in 1949 a very fine gentleman.
David Heishman wrote an article
pertaining to a DVD from Great
Courses where he became enlightened in another way to complete a
math problem.
Whether it is learning a new way
to do math or to use the “old way” of
using pencil and paper, one is still
exercising their mind. You have to
use your mind to do any math problem.
It is possible that Mr. Jenkins
thought this was the proper way at
that time or maybe he didn’t know of
the other way that Mr. Heishman
learned.
An individual must not make fun
of a dead person or the way they
taught.
I do know that Mr. Jenkins was in
the education field for 43 years. This
was completed in West Virginia and
included teaching in a one-room
school known as Topsy on Branch
Mountain, teaching in other elementary schools and he was an elementary principal at Martinsburg, WV
from where he retired.
He must have been well educated
and I know that he was devoted to
young people all of his life.
At one time, he was invited to
Washington, D.C. where he taught
individuals from across the United
States.
Please remember that dead people cannot defend themselves, so
please think before writing anything
that “hurts” the kin people of an individual.
Thank you very much for such an
interesting newspaper.
Sincerely,
Geneva K. Jenkins

Recent story out of Oregon
reported that poplars were being
raised on a “biocycle farm”. The
treated sewage sludge from a wastewater treatment utility is used as a
fertilizer by farmers, but also is
spread over the 600-acre poplar farm
where 88,000 trees are growing. The
fast-growing trees are reaching harvest age because zoning calls for harvesting at 12 years, even though 20
years would be more profitable. We
think it’s great to grow trees with the
sludge, but we’re more curious about
what crops are grown courtesy of
sewage sludge. We have to assume
that “treated sludge” has been composted or sun dried or something or

W.Va. Health Officials Urge Pertussis Immunization
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) West Virginia health officials are
encouraging state residents to get
immunized against whooping cough
to prevent an epidemic like the one
that has hit Washington state.
Officials say there’ve been 60
investigated cases of whooping
cough, also known as pertussis, in
West Virginia so far this year.
In contrast, more than 3,000 confirmed cases were reported in Washington through June 30. In April, that
state’s health department declared a
pertussis epidemic.
Dr. Rahul Gupta of the
Kanawha-Charleston
Health
Department tells The Charleston
Gazette that if it can happen in
Washington, it can happen in West
Virginia.
Pertussis is a contagious disease
spread through coughing and sneezing while in close contact with other
people. Federal health officials say
it’s one of the most commonly occurring vaccine-preventable diseases in
the country.

On Monday, Aug. 7, Hardy
County’s
Sheriff’s
deputies
responded to a report of a vicious
“pack of dogs” on Ogden Farm Road
in Moorefield. The dogs had just
attacked and killed a neighbor’s family pet (dog). The victim advised
that the vicious dogs were owned by
his neighbor, Andrew Steinberg.
Deputies Brian Short and Jim
Shipe responded to Steinberg’s home
to find 14 mixed breed dogs in his
yard. Each of the dogs was suffering
from varying degrees of mange, malnutrition and injury. One of the
dogs was dead.
There was no food available.
Chief Deputy Bryan Ward was called
to assist and arrived to learn that
there were possibly other dogs inside
the residence. Ward contacted
Steinberg by phone, and asked him
how many dogs he had. He stated
“maybe 23.”
Ward asked him where the food
was and he responded “I was going to
feed them tomorrow.”
Ward asked him when the last
time a veterinarian had seen these
dogs and he said “about a year and a
half ago when I got some of them
rabies vaccines.”
None of the dogs had collars or
rabies tags and it was confirmed that
none had been assessed/taxed this
year.
The dog catcher was called to
remove the dogs but, due to their
vicious disposition, securing them
was difficult. Deputy Short contacted
Steinberg, who was at work, and provided him transportation to his resi-
dence to assist with securing the
dogs.
Steinberg allowed access to the
remaining nine dogs inside his home.
They were all also in extremely poor
health. One of the dogs bit Steinberg’s face during the attempt to
secure them.
Steinberg relinquished control
and possession of the dogs to the
Hardy County Sheriff’s office. In
response to the condition of the
dogs, he stated that “ things got out
of hand.”
Steinberg was charged with 24
counts of animal cruelty. He was
arrested on Aug. 14, arraigned
before Magistrate Hose and released
on $12,000 personal recognizance
bond.
Ginseng Season Opens Sept. 1
West Virginia’s ginseng digging
season starts Sept. 1. Ginseng diggers, often called “sengers,” will be
out in full force searching for the
native herb that sold last year for an
average of $410 per pound.
On average, it takes about 300
roots to make a pound of ginseng.
The price of ginseng per pound fluctuates based on demand and has
been recorded to sell from as high as
$700 per pound to as low as $200 per
pound.
In 2011, according to State
Forester Randy Dye, ginseng generated approximately $2 million for
West Virginia’s economy.
“People, especially here in West
Virginia and in Asian cultures, have
believed for centuries in the health
benefits of ginseng, which makes the
growing and digging of it economically important to the state’s economy and the harvesters’ wallets,” Dye
said.
Dye said that 4,920 pounds of ginseng were harvested during the 2011
season, which was a 12 percent
decline from the previous season.
Robin Black, who has worked with
the Division of Forestry’s (DOF) ginseng program for more than 20 years,
said she’s not worried about ginseng
digging ever ceasing, though.
“Ginseng digging is a time-hon-
ored tradition, usually passed down
from generation to generation. I
don’t believe it will ever fade away,”
Black said. “In fact, in many areas of
West Virginia, digging ginseng provides a second or third income for
many families especially during
tough economic times. Ginseng digging is a great way for families to get
out into the forest together, learn
about the importance of sustaining a
native species and make some extra
money.”
Ginseng plants are ready to harvest when their berries turn red. The
plant is dug out of the ground and its
roots removed. West Virginia state
law requires anyone digging ginseng
to replant the berries/seeds from the
parent plant in the spot where it was
harvested because this helps continue the species. Federal regulations set the minimum age a plant
can be harvested at five years. The
age of the plant is determined by the
number of prongs; only plants with
three or more prongs are considered
old enough to harvest.
The following laws also apply to
the harvesting of ginseng:
• Anyone digging ginseng on
someone else’s property must carry
written permission from the
landowner allowing him or her to
harvest ginseng on the property.
• No permit is needed to dig wild
ginseng.
• Digging ginseng on public lands,
including state forests, wildlife management areas or state parks, is prohibited.
• Diggers have until March 31 of
each year to sell to a registered West
Virginia ginseng dealer or have roots
weight-receipted at one of the Division of Forestry weigh stations.
• Possession of ginseng roots is
prohibited from April 1 through Aug.
31 without a weight-receipt from the
DOF.
• The ginseng digging season runs
through Nov. 30.
Beginning Sept. 1, a list of registered ginseng dealers for 2012-2013
will be available in the ginseng section of www.wvforestry.com.
Besides growing naturally in the
woods, ginseng also is cultivated, but
roots from cultivated plants typically
are worth less per pound than those
that grow wild. People who want to
grow ginseng on their own property
must get a grower’s permit and have
a determination done on their property before the ginseng is planted.
Determinations are done from
April 15 to June 15 each year.

information or with questions at 304558-2788 ext. 51764.
Snack Products Recalled on Listeria Fears
West Virginia is among the states
affected by a recall of a wide variety
of fruit, vegetable and sandwich
products, according to West Virginia
Commissioner of Agriculture Gus R.
Douglass.
Missa Bay, LLC, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Ready Pac Foods, Inc.,
of Swedesboro, New Jersey, is voluntarily recalling 293,488 cases and
296,224 individually distributed units
of fruit, vegetable and sandwich
products containing apples with the
use by dates of July 8, 2012 through
August 20, 2012 because they contain
diced or sliced apples that may be
contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.
No illnesses have been reported
in association with this recall, but Listeria monocytogenes was discovered
on equipment used to produce apple
products.
“This is another example of the
importance of government food
safety programs and the technology
they rely upon to protect public
health,” said Commissioner Douglass. “The West Virginia Department of Agriculture desperately
needs to relocate its laboratories to
the West Virginia Regional Technology Park in South Charleston, but
we’re still looking for the necessary
funding. Although this is an expensive proposition, it is an investment
that will pay dividends to the wellbeing of all West Virginians for many
decades into the future.”
WVDA inspectors are aware of
the recall and are checking store
shelves for affected products during
their regular duties, Commissioner
Douglass added.
Consumers who may have purchased the affected product are
asked to record the use by date
and/or UPC code number, immediately dispose of the product, and contact the Ready Pac Consumer Affairs
Department, toll-free at 800-8007822, Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m.
PDT to obtain a full refund. Customers with questions may contact
Ready Pac at 800-800-4088, ext. 2900,
Monday - Friday, 7 a.m.- 5 p.m. PDT.
More information is also available at
www.readypac.com.
Retailers should check their
inventories and store shelves to con-
firm that none of the product is present or available for purchase by consumers or in warehouse inventories.
Ready Pac customer service representatives have already contacted
retailers and are in the process of
confirming that the recalled products
are not in the stream of commerce.
Besides West Virginia, the
recalled products were distributed
from the Missa Bay, LLC facility to
retailers and foodservice operators in
Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut,
Delaware, District of Columbia,
Washington D.C., Florida, Georgia,
Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Mississippi,
Montana,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee,
Vermont, Virginia and Wisconsin.
Although no illnesses associated
with this recall have been reported,
Listeria monocytogenes is an organism that can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and
others with weakened immune systems. Although healthy individuals
may suffer only short-term symptoms
such as high fever, severe headache,
stiffness, nausea, abdominal pain and
diarrhea, infection can cause miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant
women. The incubation period for
Listeria monocytogenes can be 1 to 3
weeks, but may be in the range of 3 to
70 days.

What are Kids Learning at the Dinner Table?
Just what are kids learning at the
dinner table? Life lessons!
When they sit at the family dinner
table, children do more than eat.
They also observe and absorb.
“They learn by watching adults
using such skills as table manners,
conversation, sharing and making
healthful food choices,” according to
Elaine Bowen, a specialist with West
Virginia University Extension Service’s Families and Health Programs.
Learning to share, take turns and
socialize builds youths’ self-confidence and self-esteem, Bowen says.
Parents and other adults have to
remember that children are always
learning—whether the adults are
directly instructing them, demonstrating appropriate behavior themselves or exhibiting inappropriate
behavior.
Manners, for example, are an
important life skill learned only by
sitting and observing and by being
instructed. If children see appropriate behavior, they will mirror that
The following events happened
on these dates in West Virginia history. To read more, go to e-WV: The
West Virginia Encyclopedia at
www.wvencyclopedia.org.
Aug. 29, 1952: A groundbreaking
ceremony was held in Mercer County
to mark the beginning of construction of the West Virginia Turnpike.
Aug. 30, 1862: Confederate
raiders under the command of General Albert Jenkins attacked Buckhannon, where they captured 20 prisoners and 5,000 stands of small arms.
Aug. 31, 1945: The USS West
Virginia led American battleships
into Tokyo Bay two days before the
formal surrender of Japan.
Sept. 1, 1777: Fort Henry, located
at what is now Wheeling, was
attacked by Indians. Nearly half of
the militia members were lured outside the post and killed.
Sept. 1, 1907: Walter Phillips
Reuther was born in Wheeling.
Reuther was a founder of the modern labor movement and a long-time
president of the United Auto Workers.
Sept. 2, 1722: Frontiersman
William Crawford was born in present Jefferson County. He was a
farmer, soldier, surveyor, and the
land agent of George Washington.

behavior. Unfortunately, the same
mirror works for inappropriate
behavior. WVU Extension educators
remind parents and other adults that
they must demonstrate the behavior
they want children to learn.
Another important type of learning takes place at the family table:
Children learn what is going on in the
day-to-day life of their family. Dinner
time, for example, can be the time to
share with each other the highlights
of the day. Children learn to communicate in a positive way when they
talk about ideas, plans and events
with members of their family.
Providing conversation starters
for children at the dinner table can
teach youngsters to verbalize their
feelings and how they want to express
their ideas. Asking young children to
name the colors of food they are
being served is a good way to teach
them colors. Also simple counting
can be included in the “what’s on the
table” conversation with young children.
Sept. 3, 1890: West Virginia Wesleyan College opened as the West
Virginia Conference Seminary. In
that first year, 201 men and women
undertook a largely preparatory
school curriculum.
Sept. 3, 1966: President Lyndon
B. Johnson dedicated the Summersville Dam and Lake. Summersville Lake, located on the
Gauley River in Nicholas County, is
West Virginia’s largest.

Family mealtime also offers
opportunities for children to help
plan and prepare food, which leads
to other valuable life skills—such as
organization of and appreciation for
foods. This time together provides
“teachable moments,” when parents
can help children understand that
food does not just appear on the grocery store shelf.
According to WVU Extension
educators, mealtime is an appropriate time to talk about food production—how food items are grown or
produced.
Children also can learn healthy
eating habits at the dinner table. If
Mom and Dad eat healthy foods in
front of their family, their children
are more likely to select and eat
healthy foods also. Younger children
especially will mimic Dad and Mom
and will try food they see Mom and
Dad eat.
If a parent has a dislike for a certain food, Extension educators caution, he or she should not express
that feeling in front of their children.
If Mom or Dad doesn’t like the food,
their youngsters may make the same
decision—without even giving the
food a fair taste test.
A little reflection reveals many
ways the family dinner table continues to be a place children constantly
learn. Extension educators urge parents to be guided by that revelation
and make conscious efforts to keep
their family mealtime alive and
healthy, allowing their children to
benefit from as many skill-building
opportunities as possible.

available in “Family Mealtime” and
other WVU Extension Service family
life publications, which are available

Our family would like to thank so many people. Although our

you came together and prayed for our sweet baby Easton. In
his short time here on earth, he seemed to reach the hearts of so
many. Thank you for the prayers, cards, donations, care

SCHOOL DAYS
Local Students Attend 2012 WV GSMS at Green Bank
Two local high school students
attended the annual West Virginia
Governor’s School for Mathematics
and Science (WV GSMS) this summer. The two-week-long, allexpenses-paid, residential science
honors program, held at the National
Radio Astronomy Observatory,
located in Green Bank, WV utilized
the field of radio astronomy to educate and encourage students to further explore careers in STEM fields.
Tara Teets of Mathias and Lauren
Tydings of Rio were among 57 rising
ninth grade scholars who participated in the WV GSMS. Students
exhibited leadership abilities, superior academic proficiency in science
and math, and a willingness to
explore various topics with peers
from around the state, and were
selected for their excellence in these
areas.
The WV GSMS harnesses the
unique facilities available at the
National Radio Astronomy Observatory to drive inquiry-based learning
for small groups of 5-6 students, a
teacher, and a student mentor. These
teams work throughout their stay at
Green Bank to produce a research
project and present their findings to
their peers and the observatory’s residential astronomers. Students
employed the 40-foot radio telescope
to make observations during their
stay to investigate astronomical subjects as diverse as mapping distant
galaxies to tracking hydrogen as it
moves through our own sky.
Local astronomers mentored
each team, providing their expertise
in not only the research process, but
also through a series of talks provided by observatory staff. This lecture series included such subjects as
the interaction of galaxies, star formation, and astrochemistry. These
talks also included information about
the functional operation of the 40foot telescope, giving students the
proficiency to operate the instrumentation that would drive their research
projects (the WV GSMS’s focus on
inquiry-based learning emphasizes
students taking a hands-on approach
– the students provided not only the
path of their research, but also
directed the telescopes, took their
own observations, and interpreted
their own data).
West Virginia students were not
only challenged academically, but
also had opportunities to participate
in an outdoor adventure program of
mountain biking, hiking and caving.
In addition, delegates chose daily
from an array of afternoon seminars
that included, among other things:
introductions to foreign cultures
(Middle East, Nepal, and Germany),
ballroom dancing, improv comedy,
bracelet making, “Thriller” dancing
and more. It was through these collaborative interactions that students
grew personally and established lasting friendships.
The West Virginia Governor’s
School for Mathematics and Science
is made possible through a partnership between the WV Department of
Education and the Arts, the National
Radio Astronomy Observatory
(NRAO) and the National Youth Science Foundation (NYSF). NRAO
and NYSF have long histories of
Lauren Tydings
Tara Teets
offering comprehensive informal science education programs in unique
environments to encourage, sustain,
and honor youth interest and excellence in science. These premier sci-
ence programs foster constructive
relationships among students, staff,
and contributing scientists and
emphasize the social value of scientific understanding.

THE HARDY HERITAGE
Last week I began an account of a
few experiences on my recent trip to
Germany, especially those at Bastogne, Belgium where the Battle of
the Bulge was fought. I’m including
these two articles in identical form in
all three area papers where my
columns appear, but I promise faithfully to resume unique and county
specific articles to each of these
weeklies next week.
You may recall from last week’s
article was that my hope was to find a
veteran from our area who may have
fought in, and had memories of, the
famed Battle of the Bulge.
To date I’ve had one response,
which I hope to ardently pursue.
Most Petersburg residents will
remember Robert “Cindy” Hill. Yesterday I received a call from one of
Cindy’s nephews. Must to my surprise, he informed me that Cindy had
served in the 101st Airborne Division, the “Screaming Eagles”, and
that he had been a part of the battered unit which had held strong at
Bastogne.
What I learned was that Cindy,
who was part of the production staff
at the Press, had participated in writing a story which apparently was
assigned to each member of the staff.
The subject was either “My most
memorable Christmas” or more
likely “My most unforgettable Christmas.”
If you recall the picture which
accompanied last week’s article, it
was dated December 26th, 1944 and
showed supplies being dropped to
the beleaguered troops at Bastogne.
Cindy’s story will likely provide much
insight to what it was like to have
been part of that epic conflict on
Christmas Day.
It will be no small task to unearth
the article, but I have been informed
that Press editions are archived back
to 1944 in Petersburg. Family members feel that the article may have
appeared as late as the early 1970’s.
However, the search has begun.
When located, the article will be
reprinted to give a local favor to the
current articles.
I didn’t give an explanation last
week to the real impetus for our family travels over rural Belgium. One of
our three groups of family making
the trip to Germany for the early
observance of Mutti’s birthday
included our oldest daughter,
Yvonne, her husband Skip Lantz,
their two daughters and their husbands, and their two grandsons.
The real connection came
through Skip’s interest in his grandfather’s service in this area. Back in the
winter Skip had loaned me a book
entitled, HELL’S HIGHWAY, A
Chronicle of the 101st Airborne in
the Holland Campaign, SeptemberNovember 1944. The book was writ-
BY
HAROLD D.
GARBER
ten by George E. Koskimaki, a soldier with the 101st Airborne.
To quickly review the last year of
World War II, Operation Overlord
marked the Normandy Invasion.
Then came the action that Koskimaki wrote about, the landing of the
101st and other units behind German
lines in Holland. Finally, the counterattack by the Germans in the Battle
of the Bulge.
There is a brief but telling tribute
to Skip’s grandfather in Koskimaki’s
book on page 243: “Radioman John
Marohn wrote in praise of his mortar
sergeant of ‘E’ Company: ‘I remember Sgt. Lester Miller who was a
ridge runner from West Virginia and
in charge of our mortar section. He
never took the bipod or base plate
with him—only the tube. While on
the canal, he had the uncanny accuracy to place the tube between his
legs; after a good view of what he
wanted to hit, told the crew to put so
many increments on a round, sight
the angle of the tube and fire a round
and hit the target. He was uncanny in
judging distance.”
I can only guess that what may be
to some a disparaging name “ridge
runner”, was actually a term of
respect with the “mountaineer” skills
Sgt. Miller displayed.
I find it difficult to fathom the loss
and carnage some of the units like
the 101st went through. I plan to read
some of the classics about Bastogne,
but the book of the Holland campaign chronicles unbelievable sacrifice.
Getting back to this story, the
Holland campaign ended in November 1944, and in December 1944 the
101st had moved to the area around
Bastogne. A key word in these stories
is the word replacements—new,
often untested, soldiers who would
be placed in the growing number of
spaces created by death, wounding
WWII Fox Hole Near Foy Belguim
and capture of regular troops. Some
of the most inspiring stories of the
war are about these men, growing up
overnight, against a relentless enemy.
The book, the unit, the name, the
battle—drew us to Bastogne. After
meeting the paratrooper from the
82nd Airborne at the visitor’s center
in Bastogne, we immediately followed his direction to the Bastogne
Memorial. In a beautiful location, on
a rise overlooking pastoral and
peaceful farmlands, stands a magnificent memorial to those soldiers who
made the ultimate sacrifice here. We
read the description, took many pictures of the name “West Virginia”
high along the upper reaches of the
memorial, and stopped for a moment
to ponder and pray.
Going north from the memorial,
we returned to the farmland having
one special place in mind—FOY.
Skip knew from stories he had heard
from the family and his nowdeceased grandfather—Foy had special significance. We had to search
carefully. We quickly passed a small
sign which indicated our goal. We
quickly turned around to explore
more slowly. Ironically, what we first
found was a peaceful and beautiful
cemetery. However, before seeing
the descriptive sign, we knew this was
a German cemetery, resting place of
hundreds, because of the Iron Cross
markers. Our next stop, nearby but
really on a farm road, was one to the
U.S. units who fought in the area. We
spotted it by the American flags flying.
More searching brought us to
Foy. Adjacent to a railroad crossing,
one of the most resplendent memorials we saw in our travels, stood along
the road. On the left side of this
memorial were the names of 14
members of the 101st who fell near
this spot in December-January 194445. Part of the memorial was paid for
by Tom Hanks, for “Band of Brothers” was filmed here. We were fortunate enough to find a Belgian, who
using both German, French and English, told us that the most intense
action was in the woods just behind
us. He said if you go into the forest
on the left side of the road, you could
find some foxholes intentionally left
undisturbed from the war. We drove
back and parked, and there they
were, some ten feet off the road.
We stood behind them and in
them, taking pictures, wondering if
those who dug them and hid in them
survived. I still tear up as I think of
the sacrifice. But I’ll close with this—
a sincere thank you to all who served.
God Bless you and our Nation. And
a special thanks to Sgt. Lester Miller,
who won the Silver Star at Foy.

they will sell at three to four percent,” she said.

higher percentage will see a reduction in future taxes. Bonds are scheduled to be sold Sept. 27.
Farm to Table
Jason Hughes, assistant director
of the WV Department of Education’s Office of Career and Technical
Instruction, talked to the Board
about agriculture and education. He
said, “Agriculture is a big deal in
Hardy County, but that isn’t the case
across the state.”
The agricultural curriculum had
not been updated in years but both
the programs and the teachers are
now getting updated.
The state is promoting a Farm to
Table program encouraging students
to be entrepreneurial. Students are
introduced to agricultural tourism,
farmers markets, and the idea of selling fresh produce raised by the students to the schools.
and another round will soon be available.
Danny Dewhurst and Celesta
Miller, both county employees,
talked with the board about efforts
already in place.
Dewhurst said the program was
exciting. He mentioned the possibilities of raised beds for growing vegetables, grapes to be sold to wineries,
grass fed beef, all profitable and all
opportunities for students to make a
profit.
Miller is working with Nancy Sisk,
director of child nutrition, in teaching
students in the Pro Start Program to
prepare fresh fruits and vegetables
which are then served in the Elementary School cafeteria.
Whitecotton said the staff had
done all the work in getting these
programs generated.
Hughes ended by saying his
dream was to overhear students talking about food that they themselves
had raised.
Bekki Leigh, coordinator of the
WVDE’s Office of Child Nutrition,
explained that there is money to
make the Farm to School Initiative
happen. She said there was a readymade market for produce grown by
both students and local farmers.
Hardy County serves 1800 meals a
day, providing a huge market for
fresh produce.
“There’s a misconception,” Leigh
said, “that Boards of Education will
not buy from local farmers.”
There is money for counties for
agricultural education and Pro Start
that creates incentives for kids and
provides technical assistance. The
purpose, according to Leigh, “is to
have kids growing what we need.”
Pro Start is a professional development tool.
Whitecotton asked if there were
restrictions on farmers and Leigh
said to work with the County Health
Department while also doing due
diligence.
Hughes said that both the USDA
and Benedum Foundation were providing funding for counties. Eight
counties have already received grants
• Following an executive session
of an hour and a half, the Board
tion of the Virginias, said while he is
sympathetic with Aviagen, the proposals are unreasonable.
“You want to restrict farmers
when you haven’t proven there is an
issue,” he said. “The income loss
would be tremendous. There is too
much litter here and the Greenbrier
Valley has found this asset and now
you want to restrict it. If we have to
compost for 60 days, it will pile up.
David Parker, broiler grower and
county commissioner from Hampshire County said he agreed with the
other speakers.
“You’re just trying to take
another right away,” he said. “There
are other means to control
pathogens. Sixty days is too long. The
cost of testing adds more cost to the
litter. It’s just big government putting
it’s thumb on the little farmer.”
Bob Edson, vice president of
operations of Aviagen Group said
the company is not against the use of
poultry litter in any county in West
Virginia.
“We’re concerned about biosecurity,” he said. “The area we are talking about is 12 percent of Greenbrier
and Monroe counties. We’re talking
about agriculture in West Virginia.
We should be able to compromise.
We can talk about the 60 days. We
can talk about the three miles. But
we’re talking about 180 jobs in
Greenbrier and Monroe counties.”
Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture Steve Miller said the comments would be accepted until
Wednesday, Aug. 22. The regulations
will have to be written by August 31.
To be finalized, they must be
approved by the West Virginia legislature during the regular session in
January 2013. They would go into
effect in the spring of 2013.

is just another issue of regulation.
The government is trying to tell me
what to do with my land and trying to
tell you what to do with your litter.”
Rem Perkins, an organic dairy
farmer, also testified poultry litter
application is essential for his farm.
“As an organic product, poultry
litter is important,” he said. “There is
not enough litter locally. Yours is
more attractive. The three-mile limit
is ridiculous. I grow organic corn and
I can’t go to my neighbor and say you
can’t grow GMO (genetically modified) corn. I understand that Aviagen
has to minimize their risk. It’s fine
that it be tested, but the timing is not
right. If the science says it (poultry litter) tests clean, they should be able to
ship it.”

Continued from page 1
first person I called.”
The past two years have been a
whirlwind for Dolan. She moved
back to Moorefield in November
2010, got engaged in December and
got married the following May.
She inherited an instant family
because Tony had two children and
she had one. And just this May, the
Dolans were blessed with another
child, so there are four children and
two adults in the Dolan house.
“I really love my kids,” she said.
“It was an adjustment at first, but it’s
really great now. Although the first
day of school was a bit hectic to say
the least.”
Dolan started working at
McGuire Broadcasting shortly after
her son, Jacob was born. She did outside sales and marketing for WQWV
- V103 radio, so naturally she worked
with the Hardy County CVB to promote the community. “Then the job
as executive director came along, and
the rest is history,” Dolan said.
Still trying to get organized and
learn how best to promote Hardy
County, Dolan is emphatic that people understand what the CVB does
and what it hopes to accomplish.
“Our mission statement says we
are to enhance the quality of visitor’s
experience and contribute to the well
being of the Hardy County region by
marketing to potential visitors,” she
said. “If we don’t grow our county,
our county won’t flourish.
“People may have a hard time
thinking of tourism as an industry,
but the numbers don’t lie. In 2010,
direct tourism spending in Hardy
County was $23 million. It created
310 jobs.”
Dolan is looking forward to the
CVB’s
participation in Hardy
County’s already-successful festivals,
Poultry Week and Heritage Weekend. She also wants to get better
acquainted with the county’s east
side. “I plan to go exploring this
week,” she said.
Using consultant Gail Price’s
marketing strategy as a guide, Dolan
said the CVB is looking to market
Hardy County as a destination for
hiking, biking, fishing and other
activities. “It’s called niche marketing,” Dolan said. “A good example is
bird watching. There’s a tremendous
market for places for bird-watchers
to go and explore. We have so many
things to see and do in Hardy
County.”
Dolan already has a project in
mind for the county. It was something suggested by Price’s strategic
plan. She wants to create a Scenic
Byway on State Route 259.
The CVB must submit an application to the West Virginia Division of
Highways Byway and Backway Program. The roadway must have scenic,
historic, cultural, natural, archeological or recreational significance to the
community. Dolan thinks all of those
apply.
“It is a perfect opportunity and it
won’t cost us anything,” she said. “It
starts at the Virginia line, goes
through Wardensville, travels along
Corridor H to Baker, then goes
through Lost River and Mathias back
to the Virginia line.”
Dolan said the CVB is looking for
the community’s support - not monetary support - but moral support.
“I know new things can be
uncomfortable, but the CVB is working really hard to bring tourism dollars here,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to being a part of that.”
Virginia to Require Proof

Guardians of the Net: East Hardy Moorefield Stingers Are Rejuvenated
Preview By Carl Holcomb
Design By D.J. Bosley
Moorefield Examiner
The road to Charleston has seen
success in Hardy County as the
Lady Cougars have made the state
tournament trip in three of the past
four years.
“East Hardy Volleyball is going
to write its own book this year. We
are going to state. That is our goal.
We want to go and progress further
than we have before,” East Hardy
Coach Marsha Hahn noted.
“When we walk in the door, we
have a job to do and if everybody
does their job, we win. You do your
job and we all benefit.”
Volleyball will be turning the
page with quickness and agility
which has been a guiding factor in
recent success.
East Hardy has garnered six
consecutive Potomac Valley Conference titles, four sectional championships, and eight regional
appearances in the past eight seasons.
The Lady Cougars fell one
game short last season from returning to Charleston in the regional
semifinals.
“It still stings, it still stings knowing you could’ve gotten it done and
you didn’t do it. They know that and
they live it. That’s why they worked
so hard during the summer. They
don’t want that to happen again.
I’m glad they had last year to experience the fact that yes, they can do
it and hopefully this year they will,”
Coach Hahn stated.
Memories tend to cling on to
you and not let go, but East Hardy
is ready to start a new chapter
guarding the nets of Hardy County.
“Volleyball is as much physical
as it is mental. It is real hard for girls
to move past the mental block. The
lack of experience is what killed
them last year. They didn’t play varsity and when they got into that situation where they had to do it, they
didn’t have anything to fall back on.
This year, they’ve got it. They know
what tournament play is like. They
know what it is like to have three
courts going at the same time. They
know what it is like to have 20,000
people cheering and it’s not for you.
They are ready, they want it,”
Coach Hahn commented.
East Hardy looks to incorporate
a 6-2 and 5-1 style of offense.
The 5-1 is a common volleyball
formation which has one setter with
two hitters.
The Lady Cougars’ 6-2 formation will have two setters and three
hitters.
East Hardy will plan according
to its opponent, but keep the fundamentals working in good order.
“You know how you defeat
someone you’ve never seen before?
You read the paper. You find their
local paper and you dig up everything they have and find out what
they use,” Coach Hahn stated.
Well, the beans are spilled about
those two basic formations now.
Defending the net is very important, so having the right rotation
and proper elevation at the net is
helpful.

Experience and youthful athleticism will be harnessed by a new
coach to bring volleyball prominence back to Moorefield and create a trip to Charleston.
“Our number one goal is to
communicate and be a team is
really big. More important overall is
to have a winning season. We want
to be competitive. There is no
doubt we can do better than we
have been doing,” Moorefield first
year coach Morgan See remarked.
The Yellow Jackettes are getting
ready to buzz into action with a
renewed attack, swarming the Hive
and creating kills on the floor.
“Volleyball is an intense sport.
Everyone needs to be on their toes
and watch the ball. They need to
talk and move to have time to get
there. Movement is important. If
we don’t talk, then a ball is going to
fall and that will result in a point for
the other team. Our defensive
objective is nothing touches the
floor,” Coach See said.
Former Moorefield Volleyball
Coach Connie Thomas who had
guided the team since 2004,
resigned this year for personal reasons.
“I think they will do very well.
Morgan has an amazing personality
and knows volleyball. She has a lot
of experience and athleticism on
the team and they will do just fine,”
Thomas noted.
Practice has been intense so far
with conditioning drills and learning basic techniques which will be
incorporated into game-time sessions.
“They are used to running the
basics. We are going to put a few
variations in there. It is important
for us to pass, set, and hit. We’d love
to get three hits, but may have to
settle for two or maybe even one.
As long as we’re improving, I’m
okay with it,” Coach See stated.
Moorefield has set goals as a
team.
“The girls came up with goals
for themselves and for the team.
The team goal is that they’d love to
win the PVC. They want to put a
banner up They have to win the
PVC and sectional to do that. The
banner is real big for us,” Coach
See noted.
The Yellow Jackettes will utilize
two setters in some formations, but
everything will be determined by
the opponent.
The net is only one obstacle in
the way of domination for Moorefield this season with a bevy of talent which will test the mettle of
opponents.
Moorefield will look to seniors
McKenzie Weese and Dora Gapp
to be the primary setters to help get
the attacks started.
“If you don’t set the ball in the
right place, it could go out or lead to
a catastrophe. I know where my hitters like it. Our goal is to make good
passes: bump, set, kill. With this
new coach we are doing a lot of funContinued on page 3B
Jackets Fly Above Tigers in Season Opener
Story & Photos

Moorefield Examiner
The Yellow Jackets defended the Hive against
the claws of the Wirt County Tigers, winning the
season opener in a nailbiter 42-35.
Moorefield showed heart and determination in
making strides to bring respect back to the Yellow
Jackets.
The Yellow Jackets honored the 1997 Class A
state championship squad prior to the game and
the members talked with the team.
“It’s a memory from life that has not faded. It
means a lot to be here today. There is a tradition

Jackets Fly Above
Continued from page 1B
This good fortune quickly
turned ill-fated as a fumble
occurred on the next play and the
Tigers recovered.
Wirt County slot receiver Jon
Cain caught a pass from sophomore
quarterback Josh Trembly and
moved into Yellow Jackets territory.
Austin McVey caught a 35-yard
pass and was tackled on the six yard
line by Moorefield linebacker Wil
Schoonover.
The Tigers punched the ball in
two plays later from the one yard
line on a quarterback sneak by
Trembly at the 8:59 mark.
The extra point was blocked.
Moorefield answered on the
next drive which started on the 30yard line.
The Yellow Jackets marched
down the field and in seven plays
scored a touchdown with Mikey
Pultz crushing through the defense
with 6:30 left in the first quarter.
The game was knotted as the
kick missed the uprights.
Moorefield senior Lance Taylor
made the kickoff, then came down
and cleaned the clock off the return
man.
Wirt County managed only five
total yards on the next series and
relegated to punt due to a ferocious
defense.
Pultz moved Moorefield 13
yards into Tigers territory, but the
Yellow Jackets came up empty on
this series being stopped on fourth
and short at the 34-yard line.
The defenses of both teams
slowed each offense down and
forced punts as there was no change
in the score until the eight minute
mark of the second quarter.
Lance Taylor ran the ball to the
red zone, then Matt Dolan caught a
pass for a first down at the six yard
line.
Snyder kept the ball and ran in
from six yards out for a 12-6 Moorefield edge.
Snyder dove for the two-point
conversion, but there was a penalty
on the play and Moorefield tried
again and couldn’t complete the
pass.
Wirt County attempted to move
the ball with Jake Linville in the
backfield, but it was a slow moving
process against Jean-Carlos Masso,
Brandon Riggleman, and a host of
other Yellow Jackets.
Wirt County changed mail delivery service and elected for airmail
as Trembly connected with Gavin
Goodnight for a 56-yard strike for a
touchdown at the 6:42 mark.
After the extra point kick by
Chad Moore, the Tigers took a 1312 lead.
Moorefield running back Colton
Bramsen took several carries to
move the ball 19 yards to Wirt
County’s 46-yard line.
After a scramble by Snyder who
was hit a yard out of bounds, the
personal foul on the Tigers gave
Moorefield the ball at the 25-yard
line.
Two plays later, Brown moved
on a screen and touched off the
defender for a little separation and
made the touchdown catch in the
end zone.
The pocket collapsed in a hurry
on the two-point conversion
attempt and a Wirt County
defender jarred Snyder’s helmet
and it flew five yards.
Moorefield now led 18-13 with
4:46 left in the half.
Wirt County mixed in some
wheel routes and were able to successfully move down the field, scoring in a dozen plays to retake the
lead with 1:01 remaining.
On 4th-and-8 from the 25-yard
line, the Tigers went for it and Cain
hauled in the pass for a touchdown.
Dolan made a nice catch for 15
yards to move the Yellow Jackets to
the 30-yard line on the next series.
After two incomplete passes,
Snyder scrambled away from trouble and picked up 33 yards on the
ground.
With 20 seconds left, Snyder
tried to get Moorefield closer to the
end zone, but Wirt County intercepted the ball.
Wirt County started the second
half with the ball and a 19-18 lead.
Moorefield’s defense came up
with a stop at midfield as Lance
Taylor made a sack on third down to
force a punt.
Moorefield ran the ball and got
help on a pass interference call too.
Bramsen moved the ball a couple times and Snyder got Moorefield to the 29 yard line of Wirt
County.
On 4th-and-1, Snyder threw the
ball to Taylor who escaped a pant
grab by a defender and brushed off
one more would-be tackler at the
end zone at the 5:08 mark.
Bramsen lined up for the PAT,
but Moorefield faked it as Brown
took the snap and spun around
toward the Wirt County sideline
and dove into the end zone for two
points and more importantly, a 2619 lead.
There was a fumble on the first
play of the next possession for Wirt
County, but an unsportsmanlike
penalty was called on Moorefield.
On the very next play, Moorefield’s Zach Rhodes intercepted
Trembly’s pass and gave the Yellow
Jackets field possession at the 43.
Despite that turn of events,
Moorefield was forced to punt.
Wirt County got pinned at the
six yard line.
Two plays later, Wil Schoonover
sacked Trembly in the end zone for
a safety.
Entering the final stanza,
Moorefield led 28-19 and on the
first play of the quarter, Brown
made an outside route turn golden
with a 34-yard touchdown run.
Moorefield extended the lead to
34-19.
Brandon Riggleman made one
of two sacks on the day on a 4thand-15 attempt by Wirt County.
A few minutes later after a Yellow Jacket punt, Jake Linville
dodged a couple tackles and got
Wirt County to the Moorefield 40yard line.
Linville scored on a four yard
run at the 8:34 mark and Trembly
added the two-point conversion to
slice the deficit to 34-27.
Wirt County’s JT Stephens
intercepted the ball on Moorefield’s first play of the drive, setting
up the Tigers in the red zone at the
18.
Trent Hardbarger caught a 21yard pass and Trembly converted
the two-points top the Yellow Jackets 35-34 with 7:32.
Moorefield moved the ball to
the 40 yard line and converted a
fourth and short situation.
The Yellow Jackets kept pounding the ball and taking time off the
clock.
Mikey Pultz who got that first
down, got the next two firsts including another 4th-and-1 from the 44.
Moorefield faced another fourth
down and converted it on a QB
sneak by Snyder at the five yard
line.
Snyder lost the ball on the next
play on a hit, but Moorefield recovered it.
Lance Taylor moved the ball
down to the two yard line and Pultz
finished the damage.
Brown’s two-point conversion
gave Moorefield the lead at 42-35
and Snyder ended the game by
snatching the ball between two
receivers.
“It’s not going to be a one man
show. It’s not going to be this year.
It’s going to be a team effort. I’m
glad we were successful as a team,
that is what matters,” Coach See
concluded.
Adam Snyder led Moorefield,
going 6-for-17 with 157 aerial yards.
“Crunch time, you could see it in
everyone’s eyes that it was time to
go. That light just clicked on and
everybody came together as one
unit. I think people have lost
respect for us and it is time to put
the respect back into people,” Snyder noted.
Brown caught five passes for 107
yards.
Moorefield rushed for a total of
331 yards and led by Pultz with 16
carries for 81 yards and Taylor
added 71 on six carries.
Moorefield garnered 23 first
downs.
Wirt County was led by Trembly
with 315 passing yards.
“It was a great game. I mean
obviously you don’t want to come
out on the end of a battle like this,
just back and forth. I give credit to
our kids, we were down two scores
late in the second half and we could
have folded our hats, but we didn’t.
We fought back and got the lead
back. Moorefield is a great football
team, we knew that. It’s not the end
of the world, we’ve still got nine
games left,” Wirt County Coach
Jason Hickman commented.

when someone is hitting at you,
they’re in control. So you’re bowling on offense to begin with,” Hahn
explained.
Moving the ball around to
teammates is quite an essential
aspect of volleyball, but you can
only have three hits before the ball
must go over the net.
“You can’t play if you can’t pass.
You aren’t even going to make the
floor if you can’t pass. The first ball
is always a pass. The most important thing about volleyball is ball
control. It is the absolute important
part because it is the beginning of
the train. You’re never going to be
able to hit if you don’t have a passer
and a setter. Most of our girls are
pretty good passers, but we concentrate more on offense than we do
on defense,” Coach Hahn stated.
One of the unique defenses that
East Hardy encountered last year
was from Pendleton County who
utilized a triple block and the Lady
Cougars had to make adjustments
for this formation.
“The beauty of the triple block is
that there are three holes on that
floor, so one of our goals this year is
doing a better job seeing the holes,”
Hahn said.
East Hardy has six seniors this
season and three will see quality
time guarding the net.
Morgan Mongold and Sarah
Liller will both lead the charge as
middle and outside hitters with
Ashton Griffith setting them up to
kill the ball.
“Since all six of us are seniors,
we all want to go to state. We want
to finish at state, that is our goal to
make it back to state and keep
going You’ve got to push everybody, we push ourselves and we
push everybody else to their max so
everybody is their best. Communication is extremely important, if
you’re not talking, balls are hitting
the floor that shouldn’t be,” East
Hardy senior Sarah Liller commented.
Mongold and Liller were very
hard to defend last season with
velocity and placement of the ball.
“Our goal is to work together
and focus to get back to state,” East
Hardy senior Morgan Mongold
said.
Mongold led the team in
attacks, kills, and blocks last season.
Moorefield Stingers
“Morgan and Liller are going to
run the front row and Ashton is
going to run the floor,” Hahn
stated.
Griffith, the varsity primary setter, may share duties with junior
Jodie Funkhouser depending on
the formation.
Jackie Funkhouser, Jodie’s sister, is a senior and will see quality
time on the varsity floor as a hitter.
Jackie showed good passing
skills last season and is another
weapon for the Lady Cougars.
“
Everything starts with the serve.
The first serve is important because
the first team to 25 wins, obviously.”
– Coach Hahn
East Hardy
“We need good teamwork. My
goal this year as a senior is to lead
the team, to have all of us work
together well and lead the team as
far as we can go and hopefully that
is to states. Talking and teamwork
are keys to reaching our goal. I
think teamwork is the biggest thing
in volleyball, knowing everyone is
communicating really well and just
working together as a team,” East
Hardy senior Jackie Funkhouser
noted.
Seniors Kimberley Pappas and
Lindsey Walker will be hitters for
East Hardy too.
“My seniors are fabulous.
They’re leaders, they’re knowledgeable. They’re willing to help the
underclassmen. They study the
game, they’ll ask questions, they’ll
take direction. They’ll ask for help,
they’ll follow through, and they’ll
stay after practice,” Coach Hahn
remarked.
Juniors Jodie Funkhouser,
LeAnn Neff, and Samantha
Lemons have learned valuable
information from playing on the
junior varsity level and will be able
to contribute with solid net play
when the time arises to set foot on
the varsity floor.
Sophomores Morgan Basye,
Kassidy Benjamin, and Jordan Kelican will all provide good athleticism at the net as hitters.
The freshmen class of Allison
Dyer, Joleah Hamilton, Tela
Funkhouser, Cheyenne Herbrandt,
and Vanessa Walker have shown
great promise thus far in practice
and will be solid hitters for the jun-
ior varsity and possibly earn some
varsity minutes.
“The beauty about this year is
they are all going to block and they
are all going to hit. They are going
to do it all, all of them,” Coach
Hahn said.
East Hardy will utilize the
Libero position primarily for substitution purposes.
One of the keys to success will
be serving the ball.
“Everything starts with the
serve. The first serve is important
because the first team to 25 wins,
obviously. A serve is a free point if
you screw up. If you screw up your
serve, you just gave them a free
pass. You don’t want to give away a
free pass, they might beat you if you
do,” Coach Hahn commented.
East Hardy’s season opener is
tomorrow at Broadway and the next
game is on the road as well, against
Class AA Berkeley Springs on September 6.
The Lady Cougars’ home
opener will be on September 11
against Class AA Petersburg.
The Hardy County rivalry
matches will be at Moorefield on
September 13 and in Baker on
October 3.
East Hardy will travel to Maryland for a tournament at Fort Hill
on September 22.
The Lady Cougars play two
Class AAA squads this season:
Martinsburg and Hampshire
County.
The Potomac Valley Conference
regular season matches for East
Hardy include Moorefield, Paw
Paw, and Pendleton County.
East Hardy will play Class AA
Frankfort and Keyser during the
season as well.
The PVC Championship is in
Moorefield on October 20.
A good test of how the season
went is the last game which will be
at home against the Lady Gobblers,
the same team which commenced
the season.
East Hardy is prepared to be the
ultimate guardians of the net this
season in the quest to Charleston.

damental things. Everybody is moving a lot better. Everybody is constantly talking. Without communication, it is crazy. It’s crazy if you
don’t win. It’s all starting to come
together. Everyone is getting along
and taking constructive criticism. If
something is going wrong, just say
calm down, you’ve got it. We are
becoming a family, not just a team,”
Moorefield senior McKenzie
Weese commented.
Gapp has been very helpful in
showing the underclassmen how to
dig the ball and to get into the right
spots to set the ball.
“Our goals are to be getting better, working as a team, and paying
attention. If we don’t communicate,
then no one can hit the ball. We’re
all getting along well as a team. Setting the ball is very, very important
because if you don’t get it over, it
gives the other team a point and
could end up losing the game off
your serve. I feel we have a pretty
good chance to get there [PVC] as
long as we work together as a
team,” Moorefield senior Dora
Gapp stated.
The Yellow Jackettes have an
experienced middle/outside hitter
in senior Shayna Vetter who has
dominated opponents with solid
attacks and kills.
Vetter understands how essential it is to communicate with each
other and to make sure the ball gets
over the net.
“Communication is very, very
important. If you don’t talk, you’re
running into each other and the ball
will fall and give the other team a
point. You have to talk in volleyball.
If you don’t hit the ball over the net,
it’s their point. Our goals are to be a
family, to call everything, call peo-
ple off, and having a banner up in
the gym,” Moorefield senior
Shayna Vetter exclaimed.
Moorefield senior Catie Snyder
has been a good defensive specialist
and has good hitting skills.
The Yellow Jackettes welcome
first-year senior Jayme Fraley to the
squad.
“I’ve been watching these girls
for three years now. It’s new to me,
but I’m learning. I like it a lot.
Movement is very important in this

Volleyball is an intense sport.

game. We have been conditioning
for it,” Moorefield senior Jayme
Fraley said.
Coach See knows at the beginning of any sports’ season it is
tough.
“They all come in a little rusty. I
haven’t seen the juniors and seniors
play. For the freshmen and sophomores, I know their abilities and
just have to get them up to par on a
few basic fundamentals,” Coach
See noted.
Moorefield juniors Whitney
Timbrook, Heather Baldwin,
Melissa Kimble, and Danielle
Crider will all see quality time on
the floor with the varsity and have
shown good serving techniques and
defense.
The sophomores are Cheyenne
Lender and Trisha Kimble.
Lender has been one of the
most dynamic members of the team
and has a powerful jump serve and
great net minding skills as an outside hitter.

THE OLD MASTER
It’s not too often that you knock
off a defending national champion.
Especially one that is ranked #1.
And especially if that team is riding
a 64 game regular season unbeaten
streak (including a 25 game winning
streak). And even more so, if your
team has been–well, inconsistent at
best.
But that is exactly what happened last Sunday in women’s soccer. WVU stunned the top ranked
Stanford Cardinal, 1-0. The Mountaineers had a 1-2 record going into
the game, and had not looked like a
Top 25 caliber team. But against
Stanford, everything came together.
Hopefully, this will be the catalyst
for a great season; they should be
brimming with confidence. Congratulations to Nikki Izzo-Brown,
her staff, and the players.
Now, it is prediction time for
football. There are a lot of high
expectations this year. WVU is
ranked #11 in the two major polls
(coaches and media). They were
picked second in the Big 12. Geno
Smith is getting preseason Heisman
Trophy mention. And fans are still
enjoying the Orange Bowl (this just
in, WVU has just scored again).
But there are some other things
to keep in mind. Last year, WVU
was blown out at Syracuse, and lost
at home to Louisville. They made
the Orange Bowl only after barely
squeaking by in its last three games
of the season (combined margin of
victory: 7 points). They are replacing key components to a defense
that gave up 30+ points six times
last year, and this
year must face better offenses. In the
Big East, WVU
has had a 5-2
league record the
last SIX years.
That spans three
different
head
coaches. The Big 12 is tougher than
the Big East – so if WVU can’t do
better than 2 losses in the Big East,
why should we expect 1 loss or an
undefeated Big 12 schedule?
Simply put, WVU will not be
able to lay as many eggs as it has in
the past. Performances that were
“good enough” to beat mediocre
teams will result in a loss to Top 25
teams. The Big 12 has five of those,
not including the Mountaineers.
I do think that West Virginia will
get through its non-league schedule
undefeated. Marshall is improving,
and should make a lot of noise in
Conference USA, but WVU should
win. James Madison is ranked in
the Top 10 of the FCS, but they are

not a BCS team. Maryland wasn’t
good last year, and has suffered a
lot of injuries in preseason (including their starting QB), and should
not be a threat.
Conference play is full of land
mines, however. Having a good
number
of
coaches already
BY
familiar with the
JAY
Big 12 will help
FISHER
ease the transition, but I can’t
help feeling that
WVU will lose at
least one game it
really shouldn’t. There are also several teams that are good enough to
beat the Mountaineers, even if
WVU plays a decent game. I think
that will also happen once.
In the end, a very optimistic 102 record. Could it be even better?
Certainly. Could it be worse? Most
definitely.
Turning to the Marshall game.
They are optimistic in Herd Country. Rakeem Cato is back at quarterback, with a year of experience.
His top receiver, Aaron Dobson, is
one of the best receivers WVU will
face this year. There is also plenty
of speed at the skill positions.
Defensively, seven starters must
be replaced. They have added some
transfers, but this will be their first
game. Depth is certainly a concern,
but that should not be an issue early
in the season.
This is a game WVU should win.
Marshall does have enough talent–especially on offense–to make
this interesting, or even pull off an
upset. You have to expect the Herd
to be sky-high for this game. WVU
always seems to be the most important game on their schedule, and
this is their last shot at the Mountaineers for the foreseeable future.
If West Virginia can jump on the
Herd early, that could deflate their
psyche, and lead to a solid win. If
WVU can’t put away Marshall
early, look out for the second half. I
think Marshall hangs close for a
while, but the WVU defense forces
a key turnover in the second quarter that will start to open the door
to a win. WVU, 41-24.

be televised on FX...The men’s soccer team opened its season with a
win over Hartford, 2-1...Tonight is

The Board of Education of the County of Hardy, pursuant to the provisions of Chapter

transmitted to me certified copies of all pertinent orders, ordinances, proclamations, certificates of valuation, notices, advertisements, affidavits, resolutions and records of all the proceedings connected with or pertaining to such bond issue, and I have examined the same.
It appears from the records so transmitted to me that with respect to the proposition of
incurring debt and issuing bonds, as provided in said order, 1,998 votes were cast for and
1,573 votes were cast against the issuance of said bonds, so that a majority of the votes
were cast for the proposition.
In my opinion, there has been substantial compliance with the law relating to the
issuance of said bonds, and I therefore approve the validity of such bond issue pursuant to
the provisions of Chapter 13, Article 1, Section 25, of the West Virginia Code of 1931 as
amended.

MOUNTAINEER GAS COMPANY
Rule 30C application to adjust purchased gas costs.
PUBLIC NOTICE OF CHANGE IN RATES UPON APPLICATION
NOTICE is hereby given that MOUNTAINEER GAS COMPANY (Mountaineer), a public
utility, has filed with the PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION OF WEST VIRGINIA (Commission), an application pursuant to Rule 30-C of the Commission’s Rules for the Construction
and Filing of Tariffs containing proposed changes in the purchased gas increments of
Mountaineer’s rates, tolls and charges for furnishing natural gas service to approximately
219,000 customers at various locations in the Counties of Barbour, Berkeley, Boone, Braxton, Brooke, Cabell, Calhoun, Clay, Doddridge, Fayette, Gilmer, Grant, Greenbrier, Hancock, Hardy, Harrison, Jackson, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lewis, Lincoln, Logan, Marion, Marshall, Mason, McDowell, Mercer, Mineral, Mingo, Monongalia, Monroe, Nicholas, Ohio,
Pendleton, Preston, Putnam, Raleigh, Randolph, Ritchie, Roane, Summers, Tucker, Tyler,
Upshur, Wayne, Wetzel, Wirt, Wood, and Wyoming.
The proposed purchased gas increments will become effective for services rendered
on and after November 1, 2012, unless otherwise ordered by the Public Service Commission. If the proposed purchased gas increments are approved by the Commission, it is projected that Mountaineer’s annual revenues will be reduced approximately $24,952,947, a
decrease of approximately 18.50%.
If the proposed purchased gas increments are approved, the average monthly bill for
the various classes of customers of Mountaineer Gas Company (EXCLUDING CUSTOMERS FORMERLY SERVED BY EAST RESOURCES) will be changed as follows:
Residential (6 MCF)
Commercial (29 MCF)
Industrial (6285 MCF)
Resale (1634 MCF)
($) DECREASE
$ 6.78
$ 32.77
$ 6,655.81
$ 1,767.98
(%) DECREASE
10.80%
12.31%
19.68%
15.49%
Customers formerly served by East Resources are currently served under separate
Mountaineer Gas Company tariffs and a separate rate structure that reflect, without change,
the former East Resources rates and rate structure, including purchased gas increments.
However, pursuant to the Commission’s 2010 order approving Mountaineer’s acquisition of
the former East Resources gas distribution system, the rates to be charged by Mountaineer
to the former customers of East Resources, including purchased gas increments, are to
become the same as the rates charged to Mountaineer’s other customers upon the effective date of the next approved change in Mountaineer’s base rates. Mountaineer is currently
seeking revisions to it base rates in Case No. 11-1627-G-42T, and new base rates are
expected to become effective on or before November 6, 2012. At that time, the former customers of East Resources will begin paying the same rates, including purchased gas increments, as Mountaineer’s other customers.
Resale customers of MOUNTAINEER GAS COMPANY include Canaan Valley Gas Co.,
Consumers Gas Utility Co., Megan Oil and Gas, and Southern Public Service.
The changes in purchased gas increments shown above are based on averages of all
customers in the indicated class. Each class may receive a larger or smaller change than
stated above. Individual customers may receive changes that are larger or smaller than
average. Furthermore, the requested rates and charges are only a proposal and are subject to change by the Commission in its review of this filing. Any change in rates and
charges will not become effective until authorized and approved by the Commission. If a
hearing is conducted, notice will be given of the time and place of hearing.
A complete copy of the proposed rates, as well as a representative of the Company to
provide any information requested concerning the proposed rates, is available to all customers, prospective customers, or their agents at the office of the Company at 2401 Sissonville Drive, Charleston, West Virginia 25387.
A copy of the proposed rates is also available for public inspection at the office of the
Executive Secretary of the PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION at 201 Brooks Street,
Charleston, West Virginia.
Tariff Rule 30-C is designed to provide a procedure for changing rates charged to customers by natural gas distribution utilities based exclusively on the cost of purchased gas.
This application for adjustment of rates is separate from the pending Base Rate Case No.
11-1627-G-42T. Consequently, any protest should be limited to the reasonableness of such
costs and the method by which they are calculated. Anyone desiring to protest or intervene
should file a written protest or notice of intervention within twenty-five (25) days following the
date of this publication unless otherwise modified by Commission order. Failure to timely
intervene can affect your rights to protest any rate change and to participate in future proceedings. Requests to intervene must comply with the Commission’s rules on intervention
set forth in the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure. All protests and interventions should be addressed to Executive Secretary, Public Service Commission of West Virginia, P.O. Box 812, Charleston, WV 25323.

Statewide Squirrel Season Opens Sept. 8
West Virginia’s statewide squirrel season opens on Sept. 8, and
runs through Jan. 31, 2013,
according to Curtis l. Taylor, Chief
of the Wildlife Resources Section
of the West Virginia Division of
Natural Resources (DNR). This is
the second year in a row that the
season opens in early September,
providing hunters with more time
to pursue the state’s most popular
small game species.
“Mild weather conditions in
September and longer days offer a
great opportunity to take a youngster hunting,” said Taylor.
Poor hard mast crops in 2011
reduced squirrel production this
year, so hunters will find fewer
during the fall hunting season.
Mast conditions during the previous year influence the survival and
productivity of current year squirrel populations.
“Despite last year’s poor mast
conditions, squirrel hunters should
not get discouraged because the
state’s squirrel population remains
strong,” said Taylor.
Early season squirrel hunters
should find success with proper
scouting and by focusing their
attention on mast-producing
species such as hickory.
The daily bag limit for squirrel
is six, with a possession limit of
24. Hunters should check the
“2012-2013 West Virginia Hunting
and
Trapping
Regulations
Brochure” for additional information or visit the DNR’s website at
www.wvdnr.gov.
Senior 2012 Lifetime Hunting
And Fishing License Clarification
West Virginia hunters and
anglers who buy a license in 2012
before their 65th birthday do not
have to buy the Class XS Senior
Lifetime Hunting, Trapping and
Fishing License until January 1,
2013, according to Frank Jezioro,
Division of Natural Resources
director.
“When you purchase an annual
hunting or fishing license, that
license is good for the entire year,
regardless of age,” Jezioro said.
“The new Senior Lifetime License
law does not require a resident
hunter, trapper or angler to buy two
licenses in one year.”
The one exception is that, if a
hunter who is at least 65 years of
age wants to participate in the Special Split Youth/Class Q/ Class XS
deer season, that person would
need to buy the Class XS Senior
Lifetime License. “The Class XS
License, however, does not qualify
a senior to participate in other
youth hunting seasons,” Jezioro
said.
The Senior Lifetime License
includes the Conservation, Bear
Damage and Trout stamps. All
lifetime license holders have to buy
the additional deer stamps and the
antlerless deer stamp.
