BCHS business classes…
preparing students for the future
On Sunday October 14, several members
of the community gathered to celebrate the
opening of the newly refurbished tennis courts
at Holly Gray Park. USTA representative Kyle
Hoffman was on hand to organize games and
prizes. The USTA also provided two new banners to display at the courts. Members of the
Braxton County High School tennis team
showed up to help with the celebration. The
event was a great success. Tennis players of all
ages were able to try out the new courts and
participate in several games designed to improve and encourage all skill levels. The courts
are open to the public. Access and court availability can be obtained by calling the Holly Gray
park office at 765-7603.

The Business Education Department at
Braxton County High
School offers a wide array
of classes. Those taught by
veteran instructor Donna
Singleton definitely add
variety as well as usefulness to that array.
One of Singleton’s
most popular courses is
Digital Imaging, in which
she currently has 64 students in three classes.
This class, in which students use Photo Shop to
learn how to take pictures
and edit them, teaches
skills which students definitely could use if they
were interested in graphic
design. For this class, she
wants to use Acrobat,
which makes pdf files, and
which has a portfolio feature which she feels
“would be very valuable to
the kids.”
She has requested the newest version of Adobe, which provides all of this along with
other online resources.
“Anyone interested in
going to college to major in
graphic design, advertising, or related fields, would
definitely benefit from taking this class,” she said. “I
can also see students coming out of Digital Imaging
and being able to work for
a newspaper, or, if a company had an existing web
page, being able to edit it
easily,” Singleton commented, adding, “Those
involved with any type of
community organization
could also use the skills
they learn in this class to
make posters and the
like.”
Also popular is Desktop Publishing. Here
Singleton teaches students to create letterheads
and to design envelopes
and business cards. “Those
employed in any local family-owned business, for
example, could benefit by
having these skills,” she
explained. She also men-
tioned that students
emerging from this class
“could easily produce brochures for any business,”
definitely another plus. Of
course the skills learned
here are also quite practical for an individual who
simply wants to design personal stationery or cards of
any kind.
Web Page Publishing
provides students with
even more technological
skills. Singleton says that,
in this class, “Students
learn how to run html coding to create web pages.”

Retirement: Is it real?No rest in Mary Anne Rogers’ plan...
By Shirley Shuman
After working 33
years for the Department
of Health and Human Services, one might well retire
just to rest. However,
Mary Anne Rogers, who
held four different positions in her 33 years at
DHHR, apparently did not
include “rest” in her retirement plans.
“Jim was retired,”
she said of her late husband, “and the two of us
planned to travel. We were
also golfers and liked to
fish.” She also mentioned
that she and her husband
“had some projects
planned for the house,”
which, with some help,
they had built themselves.
Then, too, there were
grandchildren with whom
she wanted to spend more
time.
The plans for travel
became a reality as Rogers
and her husband, along
with as many as 15
friends, traveled to
Ontario and Quebec once
a year to fish. “I have a lot
of good memories about
those trips,” she noted.
Continuing, she said, “We
had a daily jackpot which
was won by whoever
caught the biggest fish. Of
course anyone claiming to
be the winner had to show
his or her fish, but we certainly heard some great
fishing tales.” On the same
subject, she commented, “I
still dream about those
beautiful lakes and fishing
on them.”
The Rogers’ travels
were not limited to
Canada. Once they pulled
a 17-foot fishing boat to a
lake in Minnesota. Rogers
also told of a trip out West,
in which they “traveled the
northern route to Idaho
and returned through the
middle states.” Traveling
5000 miles in two weeks,
they “didn’t even have an
afternoon nap because
there was too much to
see.” After talking about
Mount Rushmore and the
Badlands, which she enjoyed seeing, she mentioned that only one entrance to Yellowstone National Park was open “because of a fire in the park.”

“brought the WVU football
and basketball coaches to
Braxton County.”
Appointed by the
mayor in 2001 to fill a vacancy in the Flatwoods
Town Council, Rogers has
“been there ever since.”
She enjoys working with
the group and is especially
proud of the recently renovated building. “We received a grant to renovate
Dr. Jolley’s former office,
and we moved in July 1.
We’re really excited about
having our own building,”
she said. Since the town
was incorporated in 1901,
the Town Council had met
in various buildings, including the community
building, homes of members, and even the funeral
home.
An important part of
her retirement life is her
church, Flatwoods United
Methodist, Rogers noted.
She belongs to the
Women’s Mission, and she
is a member of the church
choir, begun just recently.
One aspect of her church
which she especially enjoys
is that it “is blessed with a
group of really active children.” She went on to say
that these young people
recently built a float for a
parade, and “they love to
help others.”
Along with all of these
activities, the Flatwoods
resident lists “bus trips
with sisters and friends to
such places as New York
City, Washington, DC, and
Amish country,” and noted
that she “did play golf for
awhile.” She also “loves
working with youth,” and
noted that she “even tried
[her] hand at writing.” In
regard to her writing, she
explained that she had
contributed two stories to
a book titled One Room
Schoolin’, which, she said,
“contains some history of
schools in central West
Virginia.” The stories were
compiled and edited by
North Carolinians Todd
Blair and Karen Garvey.

Court
In recent Circuit
Court
action,
Jack
Dewayne Jenkins II along
with counsel Timothy
Gentilozzi, and assistant
prosecuting attorney
Keith F. Cooper came before the Court of Judge
Richard A. Facemire recently to announce a plea
agreement had been
reached. Jenkins plead
guilty to possession of a
controlled substance
(methamphetamine) with
the intent to deliver, a
felony charge punishable
by imprisonment in a State
correctional facility for not
less than one year nor
more than five years, or
fined not more than fifteen
thousand dollars, or by
both said imprisonment
and fine. The state agrees
to dismiss the remaining
counts in the indictment
and stand silent at the initial sentencing in the matter. Jenkins was ordered
by the Court to return for
sentencing on November
13.
Prosecuting attorney
McLaughlin presented a
petition for revocation of
probation against Don
Kevin Ratcliff. Ratcliff and
his attorney Clinton
Bischoff appeared before
the Court and admitted to
the allegations contained
in the petition. After consideration, the Judge
Facemire ordered that
Ratliff’s probation be revoked. Bischoff then requested that the Court
readmit Ratcliff to probation. A motion McLaughlin
did oppose. The Court denied the request and ordered as per his plea
agreement to felony offense of unlawful wounding; he is hereby sentenced to the maximum
confinement in a penitentiary for a period of not less
than one year nor more
than five years. Ratcliff
was awarded 513 days for
time served in this matter.
The Court further ordered
that Ratcliff shall pay
court costs for this action
within 18 months of being
released.
Assistant prosecuting attorney Keith F. Cooper appeared to present a
plea agreement with
Christina Miller and her
attorney
Daniel
Armstrong. Miller pled
guilty to the felony offense
of attempting to obtain a
controlled substance by
misrepresentation, fraud,
forgery or subterfuge. The
state agreed to dismiss the
remaining charges in the
indictment and stand silent at the initial sentencing hearing. Miller’s sentencing was set for November 13.
Clinton Bischoff, attorney for Lanty Rose presented a petition for reconsideration of sentence to
the Court. Prosecuting attorney Kelly Hammon
McLaughlin appeared for
the state. After hearing
argument of counsel, the
court ordered that the previously imposed sentence
was appropriate and denied the request.

As I
See It
From
our
readers
By Ed Given
Are you ready???
As I write this column, everyone is thinking and talking about the “big storm” that is
looming. I’ll have to say that I really don’t
know what to do. I have lived through scares in
the past, where there was “eminent” danger
from a storm. State and county offices closed,
and a near panic resulted. The end result was
a lot of to-do about nothing. I have also lived
through some rather horrific acts by Mother
Nature.
Now I’m not saying we should ignore the
warnings. After this summer’s derecho it certainly would make one think twice about ignoring all that has been said about the coming
inclement weather. However, I haven’t over
reacted either. First we have to get the paper
out. So, that hasn’t left much time today (Monday) to think about the storm. Yesterday when
I had some extra time, I did fill up both vehicles and stash away a little gasoline in case I
have to use my generator. As for food, we didn’t
do anything extra. I have taken a wait and see
attitude. I have great faith in our communities’
resourcefulness and while a warning is great…
nothing beats good ole action. And we will
spring into action to help ourselves and neighbors if the need truly arises. That much... I am
sure of.
Is it worth it…
A couple of weeks ago, we published the
financial statement for the county. In that
required legal notice to the public is a list of
the county’s expenditures to vendors. One of
our employees, here in the office, noted the
amounts spent with the various associations
that our elected officials belong to. A quick
review of that spending reveals over $8,500
paid to these groups.
Of course this is only the tip of the iceberg. As has been reported in this space previously, the taxpayers are saddled with the expenses of elected officials’ travel, lodging, food
and registration fees for these many parties, I
mean meetings they attend. The amount stated
here would easily triple with the addition of all
these expenses. I just don’t see it… What are
we getting for our money? If our elected officials think they need to attend these meetings
they should be paying the fees out of their
pockets... not ours.
As I have also elaborated on, in this space,
much of the money charged in dues and collected in fees, goes straight to the lobbying
expenses of these organizations. Much, in fact,
most of those efforts result in some type of
additional burden on the taxpayer. Higher fees
for this, that or something else. More inconvenience, when services are handled by Charleston bureaucrats or some other outside concern. And let us not forget about the lobbying
for higher pay that comes all too often. I am
sure it would be interesting to research all this
and see exactly what the total is that is collected by these organizations. Their dues keep
going up and I certainly don’t see what we, the
taxpayers are getting for our money… and it is
our money, these elected officials are wasting.

only work with law
enforcement, not the
public. The day I spoke
with the deputy, he said
he would check into the
issue. I’ve never heard
back.
On October 5, 2012,
I called into the sheriff’s
office to complain again
about a theft. Once
again I am disappointed
by no one getting back
with me. By now I have
figured out that there is
a problem in this county.
Law enforcement
should not turn a blind
eye on the public, the
ones who count on them
to serve and protect our
county. I was even in
Sutton on October 23rd to
check the status of my
complaint – no help

I don’t understand
what we are to do when
it doesn’t matter who
you are, or who the
offenders are. We are
taught and told, do not
take the law into your
own hands. But, who is
going to use the law in
the proper way. This
crime of stolen property
and vehicle parts thefts
has been an issue the
last 5 to 7 years because
of drug use and the need
for money to do drugs as
well as money for food or
whatever. Our insurance companies do not
always cover us. This
vehicle has been a work
in progress most of the
summer. Now I am at a
loss of over $1,000.00.

agrees to dismiss the remaining count in the indictment, stand silent in
the initial sentencing, and
not oppose the motion for
a diagnostic and classification evaluation. The
Court ordered Wright be
delivered to the department of corrections to undergo a diagnostics and
classifications evaluation,
not to exceed 60 days,

School status is
placed on the Board of
Education telephone system, 304-765-7101, extension 4.
Braxton
County
Schools is in the fourth
year of the School Messenger notification system.
This is a program that
makes phone calls to families concerning snow delays/closures among other
functions. Please make
sure that all information
for your child in the
school’s West Virginia
Education Information
System (WVEIS) is current
by contacting your school.
Any changes should be reported to your child’s
school immediately to ensure correct information
when calls are made. This
notification system is only
as good as the accuracy of
the information maintained in our system which
is used in making phone
calls.
We will be conducting
a second test message
with the information currently in the system on the
evening of Wednesday,
November 14th. If you do
not receive this test message, then your informa-

tion is missing from the
system or inaccurate.
Please contact your child’s
school’s office to verify
your information.
When school has to
be closed early due to inclement weather, the call
is made as early in the
school day as possible. Often conditions occur so
late in the day that it is not
possible to leave early due
to the logistics of getting
drivers available and to
the schools. In these cases,
schools would be released
at their usual time. Each
student and family should
have a plan in place in
case of an early dismissal.
This is an extremely busy
time for each school and
phone calls informing the
students/parents of the
plans are not always possible. School phone capacity is limited as is staffing to
answer phones. Weather related calls to school should
be kept to a minimum. For
this reason we request that
each student have an emergency plan in place before
any early closures. Please
don’t hesitate to contact the
school principal to discuss
this matter.

and keep their student(s)
home when they feel the
conditions are unsafe. If
this occurs, parents
should inform the school
principal as such. He/she
will in turn contact the
County Attendance Director with this information.
It is difficult to make a
decision that pleases everyone. Board of Education officials monitor conditions through the Division of Highways, consult
with selected bus operators located throughout
Braxton County, monitor
Internet weather websites, participate in conference calls with the National Weather Service
and other West Virginia
counties’ officials, and actually drive to specified
locations to observe the
conditions first hand.
Braxton County is extreme in the fact that we
have variations in elevation and road access
throughout the county.
Please do not rely too
heavily on one media outlet for your information.
Temperature concerns present a difficult
challenge in making a decision. This will be contemplated and decided based
on widespread and general conditions throughout the county and not an
isolated occurrence. The
general guidelines follow:
School will be delayed
when the air temperature
is below 0 F. School will be
delayed when the wind
chill is -5 F and below.

Do We Have A
Sheriff’s Department
In Shambles?
Consider each of the following events that are
related to the current leadership in the
Braxton County Sheriff’s Department:
1. WHY did the sheriff’s department pay a local
attorney $5,000 from the home confinement fund?
2. WHY when bad decisions are made would the
Sheriff say “I stand behind my decisions” as he
recently stated.
3. WHY is a son of the sheriff serving as a
uniformed (except the last few weeks) deputy? Is it
unethical, illegal or just nepotism?
4. PRO-officer grants for the school system have
been lost. Every parent and grandparent should be
outraged and asking WHY?
5. West Virginia ranks in the top 10 in DWI deaths
in the nation. How many DWI road checks has the sheriff
held in Braxton County over the last four years? 0 WHY?
6. Unsupervised prisoners in the courthouse area
were able to enter the evidence room and steal guns
and evidence needed for court cases. WHY?
7. As reported in the local newspaper, a civil service
deputy was improperly fired. This may cost the taxpayers
of Braxton County over $100,000. WHY?
8. The EMS/9-1-1 building was sold at a tax auction.
WHY?
Have you as voters and taxpayers had enough?
Then support and vote EDDIE WILLIAMS for
SHERIFF of Braxton County.

TRUTH OR TRADITION?
ONCE IN GRACE #3
Once a person is saved and in the grace of God,
he can never be lost. Once in grace, always in grace.
Truth or Tradition?
Matthew 6:14-15 “For if ye forgive men their
trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will
your Father forgive your trespasses.” What IF I refuse to forgive someone who has hurt me? Will God
forgive my sins anyway? Can I get into Heaven with
unforgiven sins?
John 8:31 “If ye continue in my word, then are
ye my disciples indeed.” What IF I don’t continue in
The Word? Am I still a disciple of the Lord? After
becoming a Christian, can I not neglect to spend time
with The Word? Can I not refuse to obey?
1 Corinthians 15:1-2 “Moreover, brethren I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you,
which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what
I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.”
I am saved by the gospel IF I keep it in memory, but
what if I forget about it, set it aside, and ignore it?
Do I lose the freedom to change my mind when I obey
the gospel?
Galatians 6:9 “And let us not be weary in well
doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
What IF I faint? What IF I become discouraged? What
IF I quit? Will I still reap a spiritual harvest?
Colossians 1:22-23 Christ is able “to present
you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his
sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled…”
What IF I fail to continue in the faith? What IF I am
not grounded and settled in the faith?
2 Peter 1:5-10 “And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance
patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness
brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity….For if ye do these things, ye shall never fall.”
What IF I fail to add these things to my faith?
1 John 1:7 “But if we walk in the light, as he is
in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and
the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from
all sin.” What IF I stop walking in the light. Will the
blood of Jesus continue to cleanse my sins anyway?
Once in Grace, always in grace? Why all these
admonitions to Christian people, if they could never
be lost anyway? Do I lose my freedom to change my
mind when I become a Christian? That IF is a pretty
BIG word.

While
writing this, I am
watching the weather
channel and all of the
info on hurricane Sandy. After the derecho
this past summer, we
are not taking any
chances. When they
say make preparations
for extended power outages, I pay attention. I
believe we have everything we need if that
scenario were to happen. Hopefully all will
be well when you are
reading this! .
The cold, damp
weather did not deter
most ghost and goblins
from Trick or Treat here
in Gassaway. We got
started around 6:30
and went inside around
8:45. Our neighbors
put on their fantastic annual Halloween
Spooktacular which is
always a big hit with everyone! It is always fun
to watch! So, Halloween has passed for another year and Thanksgiving is just around
the corner. Can you
believe it? This year
has flown by!

with cancer and became one of God’s angels on the 23rd. June
Agostino was one of the

I have ever met in my

a smile. Her strength
during her courageous
battle was like that of
superheroes. I will always admire her. Now
she is free of the pain
she must have endured
without a word. Please
keep her family and her
loving husband, Joe, in
your prayers. Our loss
is heaven’s gain.

Until next spring.”

Emergency loans available for
Braxton County farming families
“The counties of
Barbour, Berkeley,
Braxton, Cabell, Calhoun, Clay, Doddridge,
Fayette, Gilmer, Grant,
Greenbrier, Hardy,
Harrison, Jackson,
Kanawha, Lewis,
McDowell, Mercer,
Monroe, Morgan,
Nicholas, Pendleton,
Pleasants, Putnam,
Raleigh, Randolph,
Ritchie, Roane, Summers, Taylor, Tucker, Upshur, Wayne,
Webster, Wirt, Wood,
and Wyoming were
designated for Emergency Loans by the
Secretary of Agriculture because of
damages caused by
excessive heat, high
winds, hail, and
lightning associated
with a derecho that
occurred from June
29, through July 1,
2012,” stated Lewis.
“This designation was
made to enable FSA
to provide financial
assistance to those
farm families who suffered severe physical
losses as a result of the
derecho,” he added.
“Public Law 98258 provides for counties that are contiguous
to another county that
has been designated
as a disaster area, to
also be eligible for EM
Loans,” stated Lewis.
Boone, Hampshire, Jefferson, Lincoln, Logan,
Marion, Mason, Mineral, Mingo, Monongalia,
Pocahontas, Preston,
Tyler, and Wetzel Counties are contiguous to
one or more of the designated counties and
are therefore eligible
for assistance,” Lewis
explained.
To be eligible for
an Emergency Loan,
the farmer must have
suffered at least a SEVERE physical loss,
be able to evidence
adequate repayment
ability and be unable to
obtain adequate credit
from other sources.
Loans to one operation
are limited to $500,000
or the calculated production loss plus the
physical loss, whichever is less.
Loans are also limited to owners and/or
operators of not larger
than family-sized farming operations.
“Farmers in the
above West Virginia
Counties may apply for
EM Loans up through
June 4, 2013,” added
Lewis. “Applications
should be filed in the
FSA County Office
which serves the county in which the farmer
lives,” he concluded.

Knights win CWVAC football Championship
Although Spencer Middle School
was a formidable
opponent, the Braxton County Knights
put enough points
on the board and
played tough defense
to defeat the Yellow
Jackets 26-12 in the
Central West Virginia
Athletic Conference
championship game.
The game, played on
the Nicholas County
High School field, featured typical Knights’
football.
Coach James
King commented, “We
knew Spencer was
going to try to control
the clock, and they
did up to a point. We
ran only 33 offensive
plays, but we had
some big plays that
made up for our lack
of possession.”
To begin, Spencer received and began a drive that saw
the Yellow Jackets
score in six plays.
The drive culminated
as quarterback Tyler May threw a spot
screen pass to Wainstreet, who eluded
tacklers and ran 39
yards for the touchdown. The conversion
failed, but, two minutes into the game,
Spencer led 6-0.
Braxton’s ensuing possession began
at midfield following Ben Fincham’s
kickoff return. The
Knights drove to the
ten, and Fincham
scored from there. A
failed conversion attempt left the score
tied 6-6.
In second-quarter action, Braxton
gained possession on
downs. Three plays
later, Fincham took
the pitch and scored
on a 56-yard run.
Spencer’s next drive
ended on Braxton’s
four-yard line. Three
plays later, with 20
seconds left in the
half, Braden Poling
passed to Levi Jarvis, who scampered
81 yards for a score.
Again the conversion
attempt failed, but
the Knights led 18-6
at halftime.
Braxton kicked
off to begin the second half, but Poling’s
interception gave the
ball to the Knights.
Braxton drove inside
Spencer’s five but
fumbled. The Yellow
Jackets recovered on
their own three and,
with quarterback May
carrying the ball on
five consecutive runs,
drove 97 yards for the
touchdown. The conversion attempt failed,
but Spence had pulled
within a touchdown of
the tie.
The Knights advanced their lead to
twelve as Fincham
scored from the three
early in the fourth. Luke
Bonnett added the twopoint conversion, and
the Knights had sealed
their championship
victory. Coach King
pointed out that the
eighth-grade players
finished their middle
school football career
with a 16-1-1 record.
Making the AllConference team were
Cameron Currence,
Ben Fincham, D’Andre
Jarvis, and Drew Taylor.

Tyler Consolidated downs Braxton 29-12 last Friday night
With three touchdowns coming from Alex
Doak, Tyler Consolidated downed Braxton
29-12 last Friday night
and put the Eagles into
a must-win situation in
their upcoming game
against Sissonville.
Neither team managed to mount much
offense, but the Knights
took advantage of the
Eagles’ let-ups on special-teams play and
their turnovers to take
the win. Braxton coach
Matt Rollyson, noted
that he and the other
coaches had emphasized in practice all week
to keep the ball out of
the hands of number 3
(Doak). “Unfortunately,” Rollyson said,” On
the opening kick-off,
Doak returned the ball
to midfield, and Tyler
Consolidated used that
good field position to
drive down and score.”
Continuing, Rollyson commented, “Our
defense played as solidly as a coach could ask.
Our offense was good at
times, but three turnovers certainly didn’t
help us.” He added,
“Mental mistakes and
turnovers have hurt us
before, and it’s been
hard for us to come
back once we’re behind
or have poor field position.”
Following the
Knights’ first drive and
score, which with a twopoint conversion put
them up 8-0, the Eagles
mounted a drive and
scored. After a failed
conversion attempt, Tyler Consolidated led
8-6. However, Tyler
Coleman’s 65-yard punt
return, still in the first
quarter, gave Braxton a
12-8 lead.
Neither team scored
in the second quarter until, just before
halftime, the Eagles, in
Knights’ territory, and
faced with a fourthdown-and twenty-five,
attempted a pass.
Doak picked off the
pass and returned it
95 yards for the score.
A successful kick gave
Tyler Consolidated a 1512 halftime lead.
The visitors added a
touchdown in the third
quarter on Doak’s 49
yard punt return. Their
final touchdown came
early in the fourth on a
short pass from Hunter
Lemaster to Doak.
Statistically, the
two teams were relatively even. The Eagles
had 184 yards to the
Knights’ 152. Neither
team mounted a successful ground game,
as Braxton gained 81
yards, and Tyler Consolidated 33.
The difference, as
Coach Rob Flint, who
commended the Eagles’
defense for the work
they did, explained,
came with problems in
special-teams’ play.
“Any time you give
up only 152 yards total offense, your defense is doing a pretty
good job,” Coach Flint
said. “We had eleven
tackles for loss, and
caused one fumble
which we recovered. I
was pleased with the
defensive efforts,” he
added.
Looking toward
Friday night’s game
against Sissonville,
Coach Rollyson emphasized that, to make
the playoffs, the Eagles
“have to win.” He said,
“It’s a must win for
both teams. Sissonville
has to win to get in [the
playoffs] just as we do,
so we need to be ready
to play ball.”
Rollyson described
the Indians as “comparable to Webster and
Tyler Consolidated.” He
said, “They have some
players back, and they
have some speed. Their
quarterback is a good
player, and they have a
strong running back in
Jeffrey Stowers.”
Eagle offense face off against the Tyler Consolidated defense.

NOTICE OF AVAILABILITY
OF SEWER SERVICE
FLATWOODS-CANOE RUN
PUBLIC SERVICE DISTRICT
Notice is hereby given that as of
October 15, 2012, sewer service
is available in the Old Turnpike
Road area of Sutton and the
Buckeye Creek area. Beginning on November 30, 2012, the
District will bill for sewer services
rendered. The District’s current
sewer rates are: For customers with metered water supply:
$10.80 per thousand gallons
usage per month. Minimum bill
of $21.60, which is the equivalent
of 2,000 gallons of usage with a
5/8-inch meter. For customers
with non-metered water supply:
Equivalent of 3,500 gallons of
water usage or $37.80.
W.Va. Code 16-13-A-9 authorizes the District to petition the circuit court to compel connection
to the District’s sewer system.
Code 16-13-A-9 also authorizes
the District to render a sewer bill
based on actual water consumption to any property that does not
connect to the sewer system.
For example, if a household’s
monthly metered water usage is
3,000 gallons of water, the sewer
bill rendered for that particular
month would be $32.40. If a
household has a non-metered
water supply, the sewer bill will
be $37.80 per month.
All sewer bills are based on water
usage, and issued in accordance
with the District’s tariff approved
by the Public Service Commission.
Property owners must contact
the District before making connection to the District’s system to
request the District’s inspection of
the service lateral and proposed
tap. Please call or visit the District
at 406 Main Street, Sutton, WV,
304-765-2300.

Braxton County, WV
SJMH honored in the top 18 percent
of hospitals by joint commission
“This is affirmation of our efforts at
Stonewall Jackson Hospital, to provide our patients with excellent
care,”
noted
Avah
Stalnaker, CEO, of
Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital (SJMH),
in Weston. “Our medical
staff, anesthesia providers, and hospital personnel worked hard to meet
all of those quality standards.”
Stalnaker’s
remarks were in response
to the news that the
Weston hospital was
recognized as one of
only five hospitals in
the state of West Virginia “attaining and
sustaining excellence in
accountability” according to The Joint Commission – an organization that accredits more
than 19,000 health care
organizations and programs in the United
States. The five West
Virginia hospitals were
among the 620 recognized hospitals that
were in the top 18 per-
cent of those reporting
core measure performance data. Joint Commission uses core
measures as guidelines
to promote excellent patient care.
Carole Norton, Corporate Compliance Officer and Joint Commission liaison for SJMH,
was pleased with the recognition.
“This is quite an
honor for us,” said Norton.
“It truly reflects the hard
work our staff performs
to provide excellent patient care. Core measures are a guide for
good clinical care which
in turn provides our patients
with
great
healthcare and great
outcomes.”
Kathy Parks-McIe,
currently serves as
SJMH’s Core Measures
Coordinator. Though
she began the current
position in 2012, she
was also pleased with
the honor and said,
“Marilyn McCauley was
the coordinator during
2011 when SJMH’s data
was used. Marilyn did
an excellent job for our
patients. Fortunately,
our medical staff has
taken up the challenge
for continuing improvement and we will see
continued positive outcomes in the future.”
There are four areas in which core measures are scored. These
include steps taken to
prevent or treat: acute
myocardial infarction
(heart attacks), heart
failure and pneumonia,
as well as following particular clinical guidelines for surgical care.
SJMH and Jackson
General Hospital in
Ripley were recognized
for stellar performance in
the areas of pneumonia
and surgical care. The
Huntington VA Medical
Center was recognized for
care in heart failure,
pneumonia and surgical
care. Cabell Huntington
Hospital and Fairmont
General Hospital were
recognized in the areas
of heart attack, heart
failure, pneumonia and

surgical care.
Attaining excellence with pneumonia
treatment means that
SJMH met and exceeded several criteria
set by Joint Commission in that area. The
criteria can include
clinical staples such as:
giving an antibiotic
within six hours after
arrival; having the
patient’s blood cultured
before the antibiotic is
given; making sure that
the patient is given the
best type of antibiotic
for his/her situation.
In the case of
SJMH receiving recognition for surgical care, the
standards differ from the
pneumonia guidelines.
The surgical criteria include: giving the patient
an antibiotic within one
hour of surgery; stopping
antibiotics at the correct
time; giving patients the
right kind of antibiotics;
giving some patients the
correct treatment to prevent blood clots; giving
patients with a history of
heart problems beta
blockers appropriately;
removing catheters in an
appropriate time frame;
keeping patients warm
during surgery; and giving patients appropriate
blood clot preventions.
Joint Commission
has provided the guidelines for hospitals to
make these important
clinical changes for decades. The work has paid
off. Overall, the report
shows 88.8 percent of
hospitals achieved a
composite accountability
measure performance of
90 percent in 2011, compared to 20.4 percent of
hospitals in 2002. That
is q u i t e a n i m p r o v e ment.
“The Joint Commission began releasing this information as
a way to shine a light
on and encourage excellence on accountability measures. The
significant increase in
the number of hospitals
achieving Top Performers status demonstrates that these organizations are intently
focused on delivering
high
quality
care
within their communities,” says Mark R.
Chassin, M.D., FACP,
M.P.P., M.P.H., president, The Joint Commission. “Making the Top
Performers list is no easy
feat. I salute these organizations for their hard
work in attaining excellence. By consistently
using evidence-based
treatments, their patients are getting better
hospital care.”
The Joint Commission (TJC), formerly the
Joint Commission on
Accreditation
of
Healthcare Organ i z a tions (JCAHO) and previous to that the Joint
Commission on Ac-
creditation of Hospitals
(JCAH) provides accreditation for SJMH. A
majority of state governments have come to
recognize Joint Commission accreditation
as a condition of licensure and the receipt of
Medicaid reimbursement.
The declared mission of the organization
is ‘To continuously improve health care for the
public, in collaboration
with other stakeholders,
by evaluating health
care organizations and
inspiring them to excel
in providing safe and
effective care of the
highest quality and
value.”
The Joint Commission was renamed Joint
Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals
in 1951, but it was not
until 1965 that accreditation had any official
impact. In 1965 the federal government decided that a hospital
that met Joint Commission accreditation met
the Medicare Conditions of Participation.

semi-final round. Because they are competing
in different categories,
it is possible that both
GSC teams could win
a $10,000 award. The
WVSCBPC finals will be

«I›m so proud of

for their futures! They

For many young students, the idea of becoming a business owner
is a distant dream, but
these GSC students have
shown they have the creativity and passion needed in tomorrow›s small
businesses. Their innovative ideas and Pioneer
spirit have earned them
a prized spot in Round
Two,» said Cinda Echard,
GSC Associate Professor
