Sutton Elementary hosts Grandparents Day Vol. 32, No. 41 October 9, 2007 See Page 11 25 CENTS Rotary to host fall blood screening November 3 The Braxton County Rotary Club has announced the date of their annual fall blood screening as Saturday, November 3 from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. at Braxton County Memorial Hospital. “These events are very well received by the public and we are pleased to bring this hugely discounted service to our friends and neighbors,” says club president Lee Fisher. The local organization, with the support Braxton County Memorial, now hosts both a fall and spring screening. The primary screening will provide for 30 basic blood profile tests at a cost of only $30. The fee represents a savings of as much as 90% over what is commonly charged at doctors’ offices and medical facilities. Optional TSH (Thyroid) and PSA testing will again be available at additional costs. Also added this year will be hemoglobin A1c test which is used primarily to monitor the glucose control of diabetics over time. The cost is $15. The Braxton County Health Department will be providing tetanus shots to anyone who needs them at the nominal fee of $15. Flu shots will also be available for an additional charge of $15. Applicants must participate in the basic blood screening to be eligible for any of the additional inoculations or tests. The costs are not chargeable to any insurance or third party payor. Cash or check will be accepted. Testing is available to those ages 5 and above. Results of the tests will be mailed directly to the patient. Physician’s orders are not required. However, it is recommended that those receiving the screening forward the results to their family doctor. The Rotary will be sponsoring a pancake breakfast during the morning in the Hospital cafeteria, under the direction of Rev. Bill Hopkins. The additional fee is $5 for the meal. “This program has received great reviews in the three years we have been hosting it. We are very pleased to again be partnering with our local hospital to bring this much needed service to area citizens at such a huge savings. Without Braxton County Memorial, this event would not be possible. We are pleased to have the Braxton County Health Department join us this year to provide tetanus shots also at a substantial reduction in price,” explains Fisher. Pre-registration for the screening is preferred. “We have found that the pre-registration substantially shortens the wait time for those who participate in the screening,” say the club president. Pre-registration will be provided by club members and at the following select locations: Braxton County Senior Center in Gassaway, Braxton County Health Department, Braxton County Memorial Hospital and the Citizens’ News office in Sutton. Anyone wishing additional information, pertaining to the event, may call the Citizens’ News office at 765-5193. “D EVOTED TO B RAXTON C OUNTY -- R ESPONSIVE TO ITS CITIZENS ’ NEEDS ” www.bcn-news.com Grand Jury indicts former Magistrate; former Deputy A former Braxton County Magistrate and a former Deputy Sheriff were among the eleven individuals indicted by the October term of the Grand Jury when they convened on Wednesday, October 3. A true bill was returned against former Magistrate Carolyn D. Cruickshanks of Gassaway. She is charged with conspiracy to commit intimidation/retaliation against a witness, a felony. She is alleged to have conspired with her son, Jordan Matthew Grubb of Greenwood, WV, to intimidate a witness. That witness was involved in a prior case against Grubb who was an inmate at the Central Regional Jail at the time of the incident. Grubb was indicted on charges of intimidation/retaliation against a witness, also a felony. Cpl C.J. Tierney of the West Virginia State Police was the investigating officer in both cases. A special judge and prosecuting attorney have been assigned to c a s e s i n v o l v i n g both Cruickshanks and Grubb. Judge John W. Hatcher, Jr. will preside over the cases. The special prosecutor is Robert William Schulenberg, III. Christopher Shane Dellinger a former Braxton County Sheriff’s Deputy was indicted on six counts of falsifying accounts. Dellinger, who now lives in Summersville, is alleged to have falsified accounts of his activities by making false entries of hours worked on activity data reports kept by the West Virginia Commission on Drunk Driving. The former deputy served as the Braxton County Grant Coordinator for the state program that pays officers for special DUI prevention. The entries allegedly resulted in the officer obtaining pay for hours that he didn’t actually work between August 10 and November 20, 2005. Sgt. C. F. Trader of the West Virginia State Police was the investigating officer. Mark Hudnell of Summerville will prosecute the case. Randy Thayer of Or- lando was indicted on three counts of possession of a controlled substance (marijuana) with the intent to deliver on January 13, 2007. The illegal drugs involved were marijuana, methamphetamine and hydrocodone. The investigating officer was D.A. Duffield of the WV Department of Natural Resources. Danny Lee George of Little Birch was indicted on two separate accounts. George is alleged to have committed felony burglary when he entered the dwelling of Harry Frame with the intent to commit a crime. George was also charged with malicious wounding, pertaining to his attempt to cause bodily injury to Donald Butch Noe. The incident occurred on April 7, 2007.The allegations were investigated by Deputy Rick Wilson. Duane Ray Fox of Newton, WV was indicted on one charge of possession of a controlled substance (marijuana) with the intent to deliver. The offense allegedly occurred on February 4, 2007. Trooper D. B. Gast of the Sutton Detachment of the West Virginia State Police investigated the incident. Four individuals were indicted as a result of an incident that occurred at the residents of Johny and Marla Miller. James Stokley, Amber Mollitor, both of Gassaway, and Ryan Rollyson of Frametown were each charged with burglary, grand larceny and conspiracy as a result of the August 17, 2006 robbery. Rollyson was also charged with transferring stolen property. Jason Nottingham was indicted for transferring stolen property as well. Trooper J. R. Wince was the investigating officer. Thomas J. Hubbert, address unknown, was indicted on two charges of negligent homicide. Hubbert was the driver of a tractor trailer truck involved in an accident on Interstate 79 on October 26, 2006. That accident resulted in the death of Robin S. Abbott and Kenneth L. Elmore. WV Filmmakers Festival to feature county resident’s work The 8th Annual WV Filmmakers Festival will feature several county residence films. The three day event will be held October 12, 13 and 14 at the Landmark Studio for the Arts on Main Street, Sutton. Kevin Carpenter will present the premier of his film made in Tanzania and West Virginia. One Earth: Makutano on Kilimanjaro is a documentary that strives to explore the idea that life can sometimes mirror art. During production of West Virginia State University Professor Daniel Boyd’s feature film, Makutano, film crew member Kevin Carpenter experienced numerous physical and mental challenges that, by production’s end, echoed themes which were hauntingly similar to those expressed in Boyd’s film. The documentary also ex- amines the impact of these life-threatening situations on the crew, and how this adversity enhanced an awareness of bi-cultural similarities between Appalachia and Africa. Westley Carpenter is a leading actor in a sneak preview of the film 16 to Life. The film is a coming of age, skate board punks growing up after life’s tribulations during the battle of the bands event. Ashley Spring Gateless will screen her documentary Call Me Home about of people who chose to call Braxton County home in the 1970’s. Jessie Rivard produces a very clever taleThree Fifty about implications of white lies. Charlie Cline will screen ‘Monsters In Autumn’ an alternatively lighthearted and melancholy portrait of the lives and friendships of Frankenstein, The Wolfman, and Dracula, combining the improvised reminiscences of the aging ‘monsters’ with playfully staged footage of children enacting scenes as the same creatures.

This skirmish lasted twelve hours. The Confederate forces were led by Colonel William L. Jackson (a native of Lewis County, Virginia – now West Virginia – and first cousin of “Stonewall” Jackson). The Confederates attacked the Union forces at 4:30 a.m. The Union forces, led by Captain Mattingly, repelled the attack on their fortifications… want to learn more?

Carpenter asked that his request be made effective immediately, to fill the vacancy created by Travis Flint’s resignation to attend the WV State Police Academy. Commission president Terry Frame stated that she was reluctant to move forward before seeing an unencumbered balance sheet. It was pointed out that the deputy was not a new hire, but would replace someone already budgeted for in a fulltime position. Frame stated that her main con- cern was making sure that the Sheriff’s recommendation had fulfilled all the Civic Service requirement. Mike Chapman made a motion to hire Dennison contingent on his approval by the local Civic Service Board. That action died for lack of a second. The Commission had their administrative assistant call and request the Sheriff appear before them to answer questions. Carpenter arrived before the meeting was over and told the Commission that his recommendation was in the top three of the Civil Service recommendations. Chapman made a motion to change Dennison’s status from part-time to full-time. That action was seconded by David Jack and approved. lease turn to COMMISSION page 3 Page 2 OPINION Braxton Citizens’ News Our views As I See It l October 9, 2007 Editorials Letters Columns Your views Their views l the proper services. Certainly, one of the priorities of county government should be to address the medical and health needs of our citizens. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Richard A. Facemire Just look at this! A weekly photo of opinion in Braxton County... sometimes good and sometimes not so good. By Ed Given What a waste… A lot of interesting things occur at and around meetings of the Braxton County Commission. When I saw the agenda for last week’s meeting, I knew the writing was on the wall. The item was listed under the heading of “Discussion of and possible action on: Payment of dues to CCAWV and WVACO.” When it came time to deal with the subject the action was quite predictable. Terry Frame explained that the dues were already cut in half before they appeared on the agenda for consideration at the previous meeting. She added her opinion that the Association of Counties was more valuable to the Commission. David Jack made the motion to pay the dues and she seconded it. As is reported in the account of that meeting in this issue, Mike Chapman voted against the action, but it passed. Even with Terry’s remarks about the one organization being more valuable than the other there was no discussion on belonging to just one group. The only consideration was what they termed the county’s ability to pay. My question is: Is it worth $3,900 or even half that to belong to these organizations. As I See It, this is the biggest single waste of taxpayer’s money that the Commission could and does make. Well, short of putting it in their pocket, I guess. Now before some of you get all cracked up, I am not accusing any of our Commissioners of having their hands in the cookie jar. If that ever occurs, you will read about it on the front page, not just in this column. These groups obviously provide some benefit to the elected officials. After all, they lobby and get additional fees placed on taxpayers for the work the elected officials and their staff’s do. They lobby for less work for the elected officials. And of course my biggest gripe… they lobby for pay raises for the elected officials. I will reiterate my long standing objection that taxpayer money should not be used to lobby the legislature and particularly gain pay raises for office holders. The answer is simple… either these organizations become truly informational. That means no lobbing the legislature. Let the organizations inform the elected officials and if something needs changed, they can contact their representatives. Then, if those same officials want a pay raise they will have to be upfront about it and not blame others. Voters will have the opportunity to decide if they truly deserved that pay raise, when it comes time for re-election. Now if the office holders don’t like that approach, here is the or… They can pay these dues out of their pockets. In the many years that I have been witness to this process, the office holders are the ones that most directly benefit from the lobbing of their organizations, so why shouldn’t they foot the bill? I’m sure the County Commissioners won’t choose either of my options. I’m also sure their counterparts around the state, by enlarge, wouldn’t either. The simple fact of the matter is they like attending these parties, I mean meetings, and the other social activities that accompany them. After thirty years, I can say the abuse is not as bad as it once was. I unfortunately can also report that it has not disappeared. To educate elected officials is one thing, to spend taxpayer dollars on lavish dinners and social activities is another. It simply shouldn’t be done. Will it stop??? Probably not. But at least I have gotten it off my chest, again. Our policy... Two accidents Wednesday morning seriously injured two women. The first occurred at 8:11 a.m. near the 61 mile marker of I-79. According to an eye witness, the driver of a 2007 Toyota lost control of his vehicle while headed north. The vehicle entered the median, hit a drain culvert and rolled an estimated four times before coming to rest at the edge of the south bound lane. A passenger, Tinh Cain was treated at the scene by Braxton paramedics and at Braxton County Memorial Hospital before being transported to a Morgantown facility for additional care. The woman’s husband, Justin Cain escaped injuries. Sutton and Gassaway Volunteer Fire Departments responded to the accident. At 9:51 a.m. EMS and rescue personnel were alerted to a second single vehicle accident on I-79 near the 52 mile marker (Pictured above). According to reports, Linda Louise Hayes of Summersville was traveling north when she lost control of her 2007 Ford Focus, entered the median before overturning. The vehicle came to rest on its top in the middle of the north bound lanes. Personnel from Frametown, Servia and Sutton Fire/Rescue had to extricate the woman from the overturned vehicle. She was treated at the scene, before being taken to BCMH. She was transported by HealthNet to CAMC’s General Division. No additional information, regarding either patient has been released. Both incidents were investigated by the Braxton County Sheriff’s Department. From our readers EMS questions... Terry Frame, President Michael Chapman, & David Jack, Members Braxton County Commission Dear Commissioners: It is my understanding that the Braxton County Emergency Services does not have an ambulance capable of transporting an elderly patient who needs or requires IV’s due to serious medical problems such as a heart attack. Recently an elderly person suffered heart complications, which may have been a heart attack, and was told by Braxton County Emergency Services that there was not an ambulance available in the County to transport an elderly individual who required IV’s. The Emergency Services indicated and informed the family that they had notified an out-ofcounty ambulance service and that it would take approximately one (1) hour for the out-of-county ambulance service to respond and transport the patient. As you can appreciate, in situations such as heart complications or heart attacks every second and minute is crucial. I am not certain why Braxton County Emergency Services does not have the equipment or ambulances that could transport elderly individuals who need IV’s for serious heart complications or other matters. I would appreciate it very much if you would look into this matter to make certain that the citizens of our county, especially our elderly citizens, are receiving distance in front of us lost control and headed for the median strip and, no doubt, www.bcn-news.com head-on into oncoming, bumper to bumper interstate Braxton traffic.

Citizens’ NEWS Braxton County, WV BULLTOWN continued from page 1 please contact the Burnsville Lake Project Office at 304-853-2371 (Monday through Friday from 7:15am to 4:00pm), or the Bulltown Interpretive Center at 304-452-8170 (open on weekends). COMMISSION continued from page 1 The last item on the Commission’s agenda was to establish the county’s priority list for Region VII Planning and Development Council. As in the past, Braxton had a total of 65 points to distribute among their projects. From the 2006 list, The Commission removed the Foodland/ Chemical Town/BCSC Sewer Extension Project which previously received 10 points; the Industrial Park Development and Nicholas Run Waterline Extension both of which were allotted five priority points. Other changes included: adding Sutton’s storm drainage project to the Flatwoods Canoe Run PSD Gassaway-Sutton Sewer project and increasing the priority from 5 to 10 points. The Little Birch waterline extension project was elevated from 5 to 10 points as was the Exchange-Cedar Creek Road and Herold Route waterline extensions. The Frametown/ Wilsie waterline extension project remained the County’s number 1 priority with 20 points. Heaters/ Gem Road and Lower Sleith Road waterline extension projects remained on the priority list, but received no points. After the discussion, Mike Chapman made motion to approve the revised list. Sue Clifton was the first of two people to address the Commission. She requested permission to use the Old County Jail as a “Haunted Jail” for the month of October. She stated that the project would be a fund raiser for the BCHS Band Boosters and students. Terry Frame explained that the Jail was utilized for storage and that some of the records were confidential. She also stated that the County had nowhere to move the documents and would not be able to lend the facility to the students. Fred Armstrong of the State Department of Archieves discussed with the Commission, grant funds that were available to help consolidate and preserve records required to be maintained. He offered his services in inspecting the county’s records and helping with the grant process. The Commission had the county maintenance supervisor to show the records to Armstrong. In addition, David Jack made a motion that the Commission pass a resolution authorizing the county to apply for the grants. That action received the unanimous approval of the Commission. In other action, Commissioners reviewed a written request from Judge Richard Facemire to purchase new furniture for the Probation Office. After examining the estimate, Mike Chapman introduced action to approve the request in the amount of $2,870.73. It was also Chapman who made a motion to approve the probate appointments for the month of September as submitted. That same motion authorized the correction of an erroneous assessment for Bernard G. and Nancy L. Boone and an exoneration refund request for Maggie L. Williams in the amount of $23.46. Only one additional purchase order was submitted for consideration. The Circuit Clerk’s request to purchase four record books at a cost of $639 from Casto and Harris was approved. The Commissioners discussed a proposal to place communication tower(s) in the county through a Homeland Security Grant of just over $1.4 million. They tabled action on the matter until they has more information. Commission president Terry Frame explained that the West Virginia Association of Counties and the County Commissioner’s Association both had reduced their dues for Braxton County by ½ the normal rate. Frame said she felt the WVAOC was the more valuable of the two organizations. David Jack made a motion to pay the dues in the amount of $1,250 to the WVAOC and $750 to the WVCCA. Terry Frame seconded the motion, which passed over the “no” vote of Mike Chapman. The Commission reviewed and approved the minutes of their September, 2007 meetings with noted corrections. Terry Frame brought up a petition from officials of the Town of Burnsville requesting that an ambulance be re-stationed in that area. She requested that Fred Thompson, County EMS Director explain the County’s position. He stated that there had been “no change in service to the area.” He added that there had not been an ambulance stationed in that area for approximately one and a half years. “We just simply quit renting the space,” he added. Frame stated that the Commission would attend a town council meeting to explain. Being no further business the meeting adjourned at 10:00 a.m. The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Braxton County Commission will be on October 19 beginning at 9:00 a.m. Local educators attend Teacher Leadership Institute A team of nine teachers representing all schools attended the West Virginia Department of Education’s 21 st Century Teacher Leadership Institute, June 24-29, at the Civic Center in Charleston. They were: Chastity Hupp, Burnsville Elementary School; Mary Anne Backus, Davis Elementary School; Minnie Coffman, Flatwoods Elementary School; Cindy Shuman, Frametown Elementary School; Pam Kniceley, Little Birch Elementary School; Lindsay Harman, Sutton Elementary School; Lori Dittman, BCMS; Sheba Kendig and Gary King, BCHS; and Barbara Cox, Staff Development Coordinator for the county. To promote global awareness, particularly in the area of civic financial awareness, each county team was given the assignment to establish and promote a business, competing with other county teams during the week. Braxton County’s team became the Braxton County Monsters, Inc., and a silent auction was conducted. The “investors” included the school’s partners in education: the Bank of Gassaway ($100 savings bond); Café Cimino ($50 dinner certificate); Go Mart ($50 gas certificate); Braxton County Memorial Hospital (2 Oreck XL indoor/outdoor thermometers); and Boyd’s Bears, Bear Heaven Gift Shop (gift basket).

The goal of the institute was to develop 21 st century teacher leaders who can provide leadership in 21 st century schools and school systems. The West Virginia Teacher Leadership Institute developed a strong knowledge base among teacher leaders on the Frameworks for High Performing 21 st Century C l a s s r o o m s ; provided teacher leaders with a deeper understanding of the digital learner; assisted teacher leaders in deepening their understanding of 21 st century content in the context of real-world applications using 21 st century tools; focused on quality instructional design inclusive of performance assessments and rubrics; and assisted county teacher leadership teams in strategic planning for county-wide implementation of professional development based upon the knowledge and understandings gained as a result of participation in the Institute. This team of teachers will assist county leadership in building capacity for the transformation of all classrooms into high-performing 21 st century classrooms. “The sixcomponent West Virginia plan for the 21 st Century Schools promises to graduate all students proficient in rigorous core subjects and 21st century content; the ability to think critically and problem solve; the application of knowledge at high levels in relevant context; exhibiting personal and work place productivity skills; and the use of technology tools to assemble, communicate and analyze information,” says the state superintendent of schools. The teachers and staff in the school system expressed their appreciation for the support of all local businesses. “The Braxton County Monsters, Inc., sends out a big “thank you” to those who supported us during the Institute,” says a spokesperson.

Clarence now lives in California, but keeps in touch by email with West Virginia friends. If you would like to leave a note for him, go to: http:// www.legacy.com/ TheReporter/GB/ GuestbookView.aspx ?PersonId=94827450. Today is Sheri-Lyn Sapp’s birthday!! That is something we can celebrate while our friends are still with us! Their birthdays! Sheri brings music and smiles to our church as well as to the Tennerton Methodist Church, where she plays the piano for them. If you see her, wish her a Happy Birthday, even if it is belated! There was also a celebration of life today in a Memorial Service for my cousin, Nancy Jane (Howes) Krone, wife of Charlie and mother of Susanna, of Morgantown. The service was held here in the Buckhannon Seventh-day Adventist Church because it is more centrally located. We had to put chairs in the aisles! There were more than 200 people in attendance and for the covered-dish dinner afterwards. Nancy was so well loved, so active, and so helpful to everyone. In a denomination where there are not many women serving in the office of Head Elder, she held that position at the church in Morgantown. One of her former pastors said she was the best elder with whom he has ever served. There were pastors and church members as well as family members from many areas of the state, and all came to celebrate her life. Although she fought cancer for over twenty years, she was never heard to complain, always had a smile, always helpful and hospitable, always enjoyed life to the fullest, loved the outdoors, noticed every flower and tree, and had many hobbies such as teaching nutrition classes and cooking schools all over the state (and also to the medical students and doctors at WVU), photography, painting, pottery-making, macramé, stained glass, piano, guitar, song writing, giving sermons when needed, and many others I can’t remember! Nancy was the daughter of Eloise (McNemar) of Burnsville and John E. Howes of Weston. Nancy graduated from West Union High School where she had been cheerleader and majorette. How can you help but celebrate such a life? Rusty Allison of Weston (another cousin) could not attend Nancy’s Memorial because he is recuperating from bypass surgery, but he is doing well, his sister, Susie Munro, and brother, Den Stilwell, told me today. BY PAT RIDPATH Rusty owns and operates Custom Signs and Graphix in Weston. I just read in “Desire of Ages” by E. G. White that “Jesus knows us individually, and is touched with the feeling of our infirmities. He knows us all by name. He knows the very house in which we live, the name of each occupant. . . . Every soul is as fully known to Jesus as if he were the only one for whom the Saviour died. . . . He cares for each one as if there were not another on the face of the earth. . . .The Saviour would have passed through the agony of Calvary that one might be saved in His kingdom.” Pastor Rick Cutright said in his words of comfort to the family today that God is afflicted when we are afflicted (Isaiah 63:9) and He weeps when we weep. I know that He has a plan to end the sin and suffering soon, and His original plans for the earth to be inhabited will surely come to pass. The conflict will soon be over and will never happen again (Nahum 1:9) because we will always have the lesson of sin from this planet, which is a theater to the universe (I Corinthians 4:9, margin). Lamentations 3:33 says that He doesn’t “afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men.” To all you who are suffering in agony of loss or sickness or pain, just know that He is there with you. We may not understand why these things happen, but we have hope for a better tomorrow – God’s tomorrow. Maranatha! Braxton County Memorial Hospital employee recognition Stacy Fox, RN, has been selected as Employee of the Month for July. Although an unfamiliar face to many of us at Braxton County Memorial Hospital since she works primarily night shifts, Stacy and her co-workers are a vital part of the exceptional care received by our patients on a daily and nightly basis. While most of us are at home relaxing, having completed our responsibilities for the day, Stacy’s duties are just beginning. Due in part to increased surgical services being performed at BCMH, which subsequently impacts the number of patients receiving pre and post-operative care, several new employees have recently been added to the Med Surg team. “Stacy takes time to answer questions that new staff may have,” states Latisha Alderman, LPN. A Stacy Fox, RN Julia Rose, RN, BSN co-worker noted that Stacy is able to redirect and offer productive criticism as necessary. Described as being a ‘mentor’ to new employees as well as being recognized for ‘pitching in and helping’ other nursing staff during busy times, Stacy is a valued member of the BCMH nursing family. Thank you, Stacy, for ‘taking our new employees under your wing’ and helping to ensure that patients at Braxton County Memorial Hospital continue receiving the compassionate care our facility is known for providing. Julia Rose, RN, BSN, was chosen as Employee of the Month for August. Recognized for her dedicated efforts as Nurse Manager of Med Surg, which is being honored as the Department of the Quarter (see related article), Julia is commended for her personal attributes as well. Characterized as being ‘kind and compassionate to her patients and her fellow employees’, Julia recently exhibited ‘selflessness above and beyond’ her duties. During a nursing shortage on Med Surg, Julia worked numerous shifts, including many nights and weekends, to ensure that patients’ needs were met. An even greater personal sacrifice was noted as Julia chose to forego vacation time with her family to work with her staff in providing care for their patients. As the Rose family enjoyed a 2-week va- cation out west, Julia remained at home, fulfilling her noble calling as a nurse at Braxton County Memorial Hospital. In addition to providing nursing care to our patients, she is responsible for supervisory duties as Nurse Manager of Med Surg. Because of her ability to lead by example, the Med Surg Department has excelled. Because of her sincere desire to provide exemplary healthcare, our patients heal. Thank you, Julia, for your sacrifice and your compassionate, caring nature. Ben Vincent, BCMH Administrator, proved to be a welcome interruption during a routine Med Surg staff meeting on September 10th at which time the Department of the Quarter award was presented for the 3rd quarter of 2007. Recognized for the ‘care and attention that staff give each and every patient’ as reflected by numerous comments on patient satisfaction surveys, Med Surg staff are noted for ‘always performing their jobs with compassion’. Due to a recent shortage of staff, Med Surg personnel worked long hours to adequately provide care to our patients. Staff have ‘adapted with grace’ to the increased patient volume and workload with no increase in space. We appreciate the Med Surg team as they ‘exemplify the caring qualities which define Braxton County Memorial Hospital. Braxton County, WV GASSAWAY NEWS Hello Everyone! I hope this finds all of you well. Is it October or August? Ha! It sure feels like August, doesn’t it? How about those Mountaineers??? What a win!!! I hope that Pat isn’t hurt too bad. Poor guy really takes a beating. I haven’t heard any news about him today. They do have a break, so hopefully he will be good as new and able to play the next game. Needless to say, I was very happy with that win!! Have you seen the decorations at our Community Building? They are gorgeous!!! It looks very nice. Great job!!! R e m e m b e r , Gassaway will be celebrating Halloween on Saturday October 27 th . The parade line up will be at 6pm at the Gassaway United Methodist Church and will start at 6:15pm. Costume judging and prizes will take place at Baker’s. Prizes will be awarded for the Most Original, Scariest, Prettiest and Funniest. Trick or treat will be from 7-8:30pm. Turn your porch lights on if you are treating the ghosts and goblins!! October is Domestic Violence Month. The Women’s Aid in Crisis will be sponsoring a Selfdefense and Rape Prevention class on Saturday October 27 th . The class is being taught by American Karate Academy Instructor, 4 th Degree Black Belt, Robin Dennison. This class is for teenager to adult. To pre-register and for more information, please call Robin Dennison at 765-7955. Keep an eye on this column for more information. I will put it in here as soon as it becomes available. October is also Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Early detection greatly improves a person’s chances of survival. The National Breast Cancer Foundation estimates about 200,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer this year, yet there is growing reason for hope. There are 2.5 million breast cancer survivors in America alone. Eating healthy, regular exercise and reduced alcohol consumption are critical prevention measures. Most important, however, are regular medical checkups, monthly breast self-examinations and annual screenings. In the absence of a cure, anti-cancer information is key. All women over 40 need to have mammograms. In Braxton County, there is an organization, founded by breast cancer survivor, Merleen Campbell, called Save Our Sisters or SOS. This organization raises money to pay for mammograms for Braxton County women over 40 who can’t afford them. If you need help, please check into this. I read the article about Mrs. Campbell in the Sunday Gazette and I must say she is an amazing woman. I hope that all of you had a chance to read it. She is truely an inspiration.

Mary Nell Holcomb passed away October 5 th of injuries received in a car accident that sadly also took the life of her loving mother in law, Gladys Butcher Holcomb, of Kingsport, Tenn. Mary was a wonderful person who volunteered much of her time to the Braxton County Animal Shelter. Among the many things she did, she and her husband were foster parents to shelter dogs and they transported many puppies and dogs to rescues in other states. The Holcomb’s were originally from Clay but made their retirement home here. Teresa Jackson stated, “Mary had the sweetest face and kindest heart. I will never forget her.” Mary will be sadly missed by so many. Our loss is definitely Heaven’s gain. Please keep this family in your prayers. Sympathy is extended to the families of Geraline K. Skidmore, Nellie Reta Stump, S. Mark Jarrett, Alma Stout Wilson, and Mary Lou Thompson. Please keep them in your prayers. If you have news that you would like to share, please call me at 364-4615 or email me at [email protected]. You may also mail it to me at 813 River St. Gassaway. I look forward to hearing from you. Everyone must take time to sit and watch the leaves turn. - Elizabeth Lawrence Until next week, take care!!! BCMH nurse accepted into new state wide program for nurses Med Surg Nurse Manager, Julia Rose, RN, BSN, has been accepted into the WV Nursing Leadership Institute (WVNLI). This ground-breaking, statewide program is designed to further prepare nurses in leadership skills, thereby assisting their institution and profession as West Virginia addresses an impending and serious nursing shortage. Julia is a member of the fourth class of the WVNLI, created by the WVU School of Nursing – Charleston Division and the CAMC Health Education and Research Institute. Individuals throughout the state have been selected for this class, and will complete their first session in November. During the next year, participants will attend three additional two-and-a-half day sessions of interactive classes at WVU’s Charleston Division. The curriculum will provide nurses with the experiences, insights and skills necessary to become effective leaders. Participants will learn Accepting the award for Med Surg: Mary M. Rose, CNA; effective strategies to moBobbie Sears, RN; Jenifer Myers, LSW; Ashley Hall, RN; Julia tivate others and work more successfully in Rose, RN; Cindy Adkins, CNA and Anita Hays, RN. teams as well as improving their negotiating and decision-making skills. Cynthia Armstrong Persily PhD, RN, FAAN is the WVNLI’s program director and chairwoman of the WVU School of Nursing – Charleston Division. “The need for leadership in addressing the nursing shortage is obvious. The WVNLI is a powerful solution to the challenge of leadership development in nursing,” Dr. Persily said. “This new class will substantially increase the number of nurse leaders positioned to provide local leadership at this crucial time.” Program participants will design individualized leadership projects in their hometowns to recruit or retain nurses, and will be mentored by a recognized state leader. Nurses working in hospitals, public health departments, schools, other community health service areas, nursing education, business and government are encouraged to participate. Upon completion, each participant will receive continuing education units and have the potential to earn college credit.

The Braxton County Board of Education has adopted the following family size income criteria for use in determining eligibility of participants for free and reduced price meals and free milk. Guidelines to determine participant eligibility for the School Year 2007-2008 are as follows: For Free Meals and Milk; Family of one, $13,273; Two: $17,797; Three: $22,321; Four: 26,845; Five: $31,369; Six: $35, 893; Seven: $40,417; Eight: $44,941. For each additional family member, add $4,524. For Reduced Priced Meals: Family of One: $18,889; Two: $25,327; Three: $31,765; Four: $38,203; Five: $44,641; Six: $51,079; Seven: $57,517; Eight: $63,955. For each additional family member, add $6,438. These income levels are before deductions. Participants from households whose income are at or below these levels shown are eligible for free and reduced priced meals (or for free milk). Application forms are being sent to some homes with a letter to parents, guardians or adult household members. All parents, guardians or adult household members wishing to apply for free or reduced meals or free milk may fill out the application form sent home by the school, center or institution or home. Additional copies of the application are available at all sites and county offices. The information provided on the application is confidential information to be used only for purposes of determining eligibility of the participant or sharing this information with other agencies sponsoring USDA Child Nutrition Programs. If Part VII of the application is checked and signed, information may be released to the indicated agency. An application may be submitted at any time during the school year, but must be submitted annually for continued eligibility. Information given on the application may be verified at any time during the school year by school or program officials. So that the school officials can determine eligibility for free or reduced price benefits, the household applying for a child must provide all of the following information listed on the application: names of all household members, social security numbers of household member who signs the application or a statement that the household member does not possess one, amount and source of income received by each household member, and the signature of an adult household member certifying that the information provided is correct. To determine eligibility for benefits for adult participants, the household or adult must provide the following information on the application: name of adult participant and participants dependents and spouse residing with the participant, Social Security number of the adult household member who signs the application, or a statement that the household member does not possess one, participants income and dependents and spouses income, if residing with the participant; and the signature of participant or adult household member. Households including the participant applying, currently receiving food stamps, TANF (or in the case of Adult Day Care, SSI or Medicaid Benefits) for participants may submit their Food Stamp, TANF Program Case Number or SSI or Medicaid number instead of income information. Food Stamp, TANF, (or in the case of Adult Day Care SSI and Medicaid) households only have to provide the participants name and current Food Stamp, TANF case number, SSI and Medicaid number and an adult household member’s signature. In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for them, the school principal or program director should be contacted. Under the provision of the free and reduced price meal and free milk policy the school principal or program director will review applications and determine eligibility. If a parent, guardian, or adult household member is dissatisfied with the decision, he/she may wish to discuss the decision with the principal or director on an informal basis. If the parent, guardian or adult member of the household wished to make a formal complaint, he/she may make a request either orally or in writing to: Carolyn Long, Superintendent of Schools at 765-7101 or mail to 411 North Hill Rd, Sutton WV 26601 to request a hearing to appeal the decision.

Gassaway Women’s Club is busy with a host of different activities, regular meetings and upcoming events What is GFWC of West Virginia? The General Federation of Women’s Clubs of West Virginia, known as GFWC West Virginia, came into being April 22, 1904. An article in the Wheeling newspaper stated, “Today, the West Virginia Federation of Women’s Clubs becomes a reality when the clubs of this city, and all other cities of any importance in the state, will be banded together in a state organization on an equal footing as it should be with any other state.” General Federation of Women’s Clubs, a national organization, was formed in 1890 and is one of the world’s oldest nonpartisan, nondenominational women’s volunteer service organizations. GFWC traces its roots back to Jane Cunningham Croly, an accomplished New York newspaperwoman, who wrote under the pen name of Jenni June. Indigna nt that she and other women were denied admittance to a banquet honoring Charles Dickens at the all-male New York Press Club simply because they were women, she determined to organize a club for women only. The goal continues today to encourage women to improve their skills, expand their rights, and apply their abilities and special sensitivity to the problems of their communities and the nation. Clubs were originally founded for the development of women, with the emphasis gradually changing to focus on community service. The members of the Gassaway GFWC have been very busy. Several members attended the 101 st Annual Convention April 14-16 th , 2007 at The Greenbrier. Over 350 club women and guests from throughout the state attended this event. State President Violet Pastorial presided over the Convention which included several business sessions and awards presentations. Clubs were recognized for their outstanding work in volunteerism. Gassaway GFWC is very proud that State President, Violet Pastorial is a member of their club. On Sunday morning, Mary Frame Jones presented a memorial for Alta Hoylman as a Past State President. Mary Frame Jones is the Central District President. GFWC WV State President Violet Pastorial listens to Davis Memorial Hospital Radiologist Associate Walters at a a recent Central District Leadership Workshop. “Illumintate to Eliminate” was a theme along with a presentation on “Winning Organizations”. Others in the group are Sheila Byrne, Central District President Mary Frame Jones, and Elkins Woman’s Club members Cary Hopwood and Elaine Valentine. At the GFWC International Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, West Virginia won first place in the GFWC President’s Special Project- Domestic Violence. Vanessa Roach is our state chairman for this project, and also a member of the Gassaway Club. The “Let’s Prevent Cancer” Panel Discussion/Workshop held during the 2007 GFWC West Virginia Summer Conference initiated a five-part Cancer Prevention Statement. The participants supported the developed statement which reflected the most prevalent findings clubs obtained through their research. GFWC WV President’s Special Project Chairman Shannon Bennett Campbell developed the statement from those findings revealed in the 69 club reports submitted for the first year of the “Illuminate to Eliminate” program. The statement is designed to help clubs build new programs and provide ideas for projects. The following five parts comprise the Cancer Prevention Statement: 1. Because of the widespread demonstrated interest in Cancer Prevention, it is likely people would support more government appropriations being directed to Cancer Prevention Research and Intervention Program. 2. We strongly suggest that Cancer Prevention issues be part of our schools’ Health and Science curriculums. 3. People should be encouraged to raise and use fresh foods and there should be continued study of safe food preparation and storage. 4. Caregiver support groups, such as hospitals, home health agencies, and nursing homes, are vital to maintaining and sustaining those who are battling this disease and they and their families should be supported through additional volunteerism and financial contributions. 5. Continuing Cancer Prevention study is necessary to discover strategies for preventing this disease. Individuals and families should seek ways to become more familiar with causes and community health facilities should continue their sponsorship of such community educational activities. The Panel consisted of Laura Tinney, Area Manager for the American Cancer Society; Dr. John Hancox, a Skin Cancer Specialist with Mountain State Medical Specialties, Inc.; G. Michael Hinchman, CEO for Valley Health Care, Inc; and Leslie Mayle, a Radiation Therapy Nurse with Davis Health Systems. Shannon facilitated the panel discussion. The majority attending Summer Conference participated in the workshop. What a Woman’s Club Should Be A place where kindly Thought is cherished Where high ideals are Fed and nourished Where charity in all its beauty Is felt to be a sacred duty Where peace and harmony abound And members meet on Common ground. The Texas Clubwoman - Spring 2204 The monthly meeting was held on Monday October 1, 2007 at 7pm at the Gassaway Community Building. The meeting was called to order by President Teresa Jackson. After the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance last meetings minutes were read and approved. The group discussed the Heifer Project among others that the club is involved in. Marian James shared a Thank You card that the club received from the Girl Scouts. After all business was discussed it was time for the program. Vanessa Roach, Chairman for GFWC President’s Special Project- Domestic Violence, presented a film entitled, “Field of Flowers” by Jude Binder. Betty Rivard provided still photos and props to help explain the meanings of the symbols in the film. The film, “Field of Flowers” is an artistic production which addresses domestic violence. After receiving a grant from the Benedum Foundation, Binder spent the summer of 1996 traveling to shelters across West Virginia, listening to people talk in group sessions. She worked on the film for 11 years. It includes music by Dunbar gospel singer Ethel Caffie-Austin and composer David Wall. Much of the action is done with puppets, shadows, masks and dances which Binder created from the mental images given to her by the men, women and children she talked to in group sessions and in shelters. Recently, Ms Binder won the Purple Ribbon at the WV Sum- mit on Violence against Women at the Charleston Marriott. At the conclusion of the film, everyone enjoyed delicious snacks provided by Marian James. Following a discussion about the film, Vanessa Roach moved the meeting be adjourned and Melinda Frame seconded. Door prizes provided by Marian were won by Teresa Jackson and Vanessa Roach. Others attending were GFWC State President Violet Pastorial, Club Woman Editor, Sheila Byrne, and Becky Bender. T he next monthly meeting will be held on November 5, at 6:30pm at the Gassaway Community Building. This is a dinner meeting for members and their guests. The dinner will be prepared by Jeanie Jackson and will consist of Turkey and all the trimmings. Reservations need to be made before October 29 th by calling Becky Bender at 364-5480. The evening’s program will be presented by Professor Ed Wood, Assistant Professor of History at Glenville State College. Professor Wood has written a book entitled “Mud: A Military History”. According to Amazon.com “Mud: A Military History first defines the substance’s very different types. Then it examines their specific effects on mobility and on soldiers and their equipment over the centuries and throughout the world. From the Russian rasputiza to the Southeast Asian monsoon, C. E. Wood demonstrates mud’s profound impact on the course of military history. Citing numerous veterans’ memoirs, archival sources, personal interviews, and historical sources, soldier-scholar Wood pays particular attention to mud’s effect on combatants’ morale, health, and fatigue. His book is for all infantrymen—past, present, or the clean, dry, comfortable armchair variety.” The program will include a presentation and discussion. Veterans, men and women are invited to attend. Please call to make meal reservations. Again the number to call is Becky Bender at 364-5480.

For the fourth year in a row, AARP selected WVU Hospitals as one of 50 honorees that received the group’s Best Employer for Workers Over 50 Award. “We value all of our employees, and these designations recognize our efforts to accommodate two significant groups within our workforce, “ said WVU Hospitals President and CEO Bruce McClymons. Working mothers comprise about 25 percent of the hospital’s workforce. In presenting the award to WVU Hospitals, Working Mother magazine praised the flexible work schedules and benefits programs. Employees have the opportunity to change their work hours flextime, compressed work schedules, part-time hours, job-sharing and telecommuting. Also medical, prescription and dental benefits are offered to both full and parttime staff. The hospital has an onsite Child Development Center as a daycare option for employees. The center serves 177 children between the ages of six weeks and 10 years. It provides traditional daycare services, back-up care, before and after school care for school-aged children, as well as holiday and school break care for school-aged children. Some financial assistance is offered to employees who use their childcare services, and scholarships are available for children of hospital employees. For 22 years Working Mother magazine has celebrated employers whose benefit packages-from flexible schedules and child care services to innovative leave policies for new parents-are helping redefine workplace standards across the nation. “Every year our winning companies raise the bar for what it means to be an employer of choice for working families, “ said Carol Evans, CEO or Working Mother Media. Founded in 1979, Working Mother magazine reaches nearly three million years and is the only national magazine for career mothers.

This is the fourth year in a row for WVU Hospitals to be honored by the AARP as an employer of choice. The group created the annual list of the top 50 employers to recognize innovative and thoughtful approaches that address the needs of an aging workforce. About 20 percent of employees at WVU Hospitals are 50 years or older. “I am proud to say that WVU Hospitals is a great place to work for people of all ages, but we truly value the wisdom and experience of our older workforce,” said Charlotte Bennett, vice President of Human Resources at WVU Hospitals. “We actively recruit and seek opportunities to retain this valuable group of employees that have not only historically contributed to our success, but who will also be a vital part of our future success.” Nurses who have been out of the workforce can take a Registered Nurse Refresher Program and return to work at the hospital. The hospital also celebrates service anniversaries and works close with employees who are close to retirement by offering flexible work schedules. AARP was founded in 1958 by a retired school principal who wanted to promote “productive aging”. AARP is a nonprofit, nonpartisan membership organization for people over 50. AARP provides information to and advocacy for its 39 million members in order to enhance their quality of life as they age. For more information about WVU Hospitals, visit www.wvuh.com. October 9, 2007 Page 9 October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and the American Cancer Society continues to recommend mammograms for all women age 40 and older every year to help detect breast cancer early. This year alone, an estimated 178,480 women will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, and an estimated 40,460 will die from the disease. In West Virginia, 1,180 women will be diagnosed and 280 women will die from the disease. Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed non-skin cancer in women, and the second leading cause of cancer death (after lung cancer). Although breast cancer death rates among women have been decreasing steadily since 1990 due to earlier detection and better treatments, mammography rates are now declining according to a recent study. This raises cause for concern, as studies continue to show that one of the most important ways to make strides in the fight against breast cancer is to ensure that women continue getting their yearly mammogram, which can detect cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages. Unfortunately, millions of women are missing potential lifesaving breast cancer screening due to lack of insurance. A recent study in cancer, a peer-reviewed journal of the Society, shows that uninsured and Medicaid insured women were about 2.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with advanced breast cancer than women with private insurance. This study also found that African American and Hispanic women were more likely than white women to be diagnosed with advanced breast cancer, regardless of insurance status. “As we continue to stress the importance of mammograms, it is also important to raise the issue of access to the proper screenings for the disease,” said Deborah Rake, Mission Delivery Director for the American Cancer Society in West Virginia. “As critical as mammograms are, it is of great concern to make sure all women can get a mammogram without worrying about cost. Every woman deserves a mammogram every year. That’s why the Society and its sister advocacy organization, the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, are working to ensure that all women have access to this lifesaving screening.” In addition to mammograms, the Society also recommends the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) screening for some women at increased risk for breast cancer. For most women who have a 20 to 25 percent or greater lifetime risk of the disease, according to risk assessment tools based mainly on family history, screening with MRI and mammography should begin at age 30 years and continue for as long as a woman is in good health. The Society’s guidelines are a critical step in helping to define who should be screened using MRI in addition to mammography, as women at very high risk of breast cancer can be diagnosed much earlier when combining the two technologies rather than mammography alone. The American Can- northside Nothside cer Society offers a variety of free programs and services to help women with breast cancer. Through its Cancer Resource Network, the Society provides services such as transportation to treatment and free lodging near cancer treatment centers, and offers programs that connect recently diagnosed women with women who have survived breast cancer to talk about the experience. The Society also offers a program that helps female cancer patients learn beauty techniques to address appearance and selfimage during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Up-to-date cancer information and referrals to local programs and other community resources can be obtained by calling the Society at 1800-ACS-2345 (1-800-2272345) 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year, or logging on to www.cancer.org. A free mammogram reminder is available for friends and family to encourage the women in their lives to get their yearly mammograms, and can be found at www.cancer.org/ mammogramreminder. The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by saving lives, diminishing suffering and preventing cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. Founded in 1913 and with national headquarters in Atlanta, the Society has 13 regional Divisions and local offices in 3,400 communities, involving millions of volunteers across the United States.

Citizens’ NEWS Page 12 October 9, 2007 Braxton County, WV Town of Sutton raises over $4,000 from the sale of surplus equipment The Common Council of the Town of Sutton met in a regular meeting in the Mayor’s Office at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, September 27, 2007. Present were Mayor James Walker, Recorder, Joan Bias, Council members Shirley Beam, Tom Mooney. Also present were Police Chief, Larry Emge, Amy Given, Allen R. Bly of 105 S. Industrial Ave., Phyllis and Larry Mick of 1150 Old Woman’s Run Rd. Absent were Francis Crites, Agatha Tinney and Kathy Walker. On motion by Ms. Beam, seconded by Ms. Bias, with all in favor, the reading of the regular meeting of September 13, 2007 was dispensed and approved as read.

He said this is the second year of the Festival and the committee is learning with experience and perhaps have a larger Festival next year. Mayor Walker said the musical part of the activities went and the electrical work helped a lot. Mayor Walker reported the Town raised $4,114.50 in the sale of surplus equipment auction. He reported he attended Region VII Planning meeting and apparently many people in our area have been attending the meetings for a long time and that was the reason Braxton County had very few projects. Mayor Walker said he recently attended the County Commission meeting on September 7, 2007 and requested the Sutton North Hill Storm Sewer Rehabilitation Project be assigned points and added to the priority list.

Mayor Walker said he and Mr. Mooney toured S. Industrial Avenue where Mr. Allen Bly is having water drainage problems. Mr. Mooney said the town employees can clear some of the right of way so the problem area can be seen better. He said the public sewer line may be broken in an area and once it is cleared of brush, it can be better observed. He said a contractor will probably need to be contacted. Mr. Bly said the weather will soon get bad and hoped something could be done soon. He also reported a cable or phone line was almost down and some utility company needed to be contacted concerning the problem. Mr. Bly discussed the drainage problem on Pool Street which needed addressed. He said there was a slip in the area that also needed cleared up. Mr. Bly said all of this could be done at one time with a back hoe. Mr. Bly said water from Pool St. is draining on to his property. He discussed the drainage above ground and said it will have to be re-engineered for about 200 feet. On a motion made by Mr. Mooney, seconded by Ms. Beam, the council approved getting bids on the Allen Bly project. Phyllis Mick of Old Woman’s Run reported she had a meeting on September 26, 2007 with two grant writers who have been recommended. She said the grant writers were interested in the Sutton Cemetery project. The first step was getting the Sutton Town Hill Cemetery declared a National Historical Site which involves filling out forms and getting the National Preservation Project to approve the cem- etery as a Historical Site. This will take time, she said. She said that the grant writers will work on this and find out how to proceed with the project. The grant writers will meet with the Town Council if the Town is interested in becoming a part of the project. They will meet with the cemetery trustees. Mr. Mooney said he searched the Deed Books in the courthouse for the original deed to the cemetery but couldn’t find the ownership listed. He said he found a deed referring to the old cemetery which allowed rights to any additions. Mrs. Mick said the original deed was written about 1852 or 1853 when the state was part of Virginia. She said the graves in the old part of the cemetery needed care can Confederate and Union soldiers were buried there.

Mayor Walker said the town does have a grant to get the steps going up the hill to Industrial Avenue repaired. He said a smaller committee needs to explore what can be done as soon as possible. Mayor Walker said he had some employee evaluations to make before the first of the month. Mayor Walker said he has some interviews set up for three candidates for the new policeman position and will have a recommendation by the next council meeting. Police Chief Emge reported he had recently investigated three domestic violence complaints, two hit and runs, littering on property, routine road patrol for traffic violations and a petit larceny offense. Mayor Walker said the Recycling Center in Gassaway has been closed all last week which caused the Sutton Recycling Program problems. The Gassaway Recycling Center is open now and Mayor Walker said he had also received a call from Mr. Facemire Foodland. Mr. Facemire said the town could use the facilities for recycling if needed. Chief Emge is looking into the possibility of purchasing a bailer he found. The town is now picking up recyclables, the Mayor said. Ms. Beam reported the community building had been rented out four days during July, August and September and the rent had generated $110.00 in revenue. Ms. Given reported the recycling bins have been delivered and will be placed on the streets soon. The Towns first load of recyclable items has been delivered to Birch River and the town realized $203.40. A separate account has been opened for the recycling funds. Ms. Given said Waste Management does recycle glass and she is waiting for more information on their project. Ms. Given discussed the big recycling bin which is still in the Gassaway Recycling Center. The large bin used to set on the Town Parking Lot. Mayor Walker and Ms. Given said we need it returned to the town as soon as possible. Ms. Given and Mayor Walker discussed making a yearly priority list for the town of projects that needed done.

The Eagles came up with 222 yards offense, including 178 yards rushing for senior Cord Metz and 69 yards passing for quarterback Chris Shuman. Ravenswood’s ground game yielded 181 yards. The Red Devils scored on the opening play as Tracy Lang took the opening kickoff 81 yards for six points. Tanner Hunter’s kick was good, and at the 11:47 mark, Ravenswood led 7-0. The Eagles lost no time on their first possession. Nathan Tallarito returned the kickoff to his own 43, and on first down, Metz took the ball into Ravenswood territory. The Red Devils’ offense had problems stopping Metz during that drive as he had three gains of 12 or more yards. Then, on third down and six from Ravenswood’s 11, Metz raced around the right and into the end zone. His kick was good, and, with 7:39 left in the first quarter, the score was tied. The Red Devils carried the ball all the way to Braxton’s 36 on their first play from scrimmage, but the Eagles’ defense forced a punt after three downs. Braxton failed to pick up a first down on the ensuing possession and Metz’s punt went out of bounds on Ravenswood’s 35. This time, the Red Devils moved into Braxton territory, but the Eagles’ defense, led by Bryan Henline along with Shayne Ralphsnyder and Ethan Hoover, moved their opponents backward. Braxton was not fooled by a fake punt, and the Eagles took over on downs. Neither team scored again until late in the second quarter when Ravenswood’s Chad Small went into the end zone from the one. Hunter’s kick was good, and the Red Devils led 14-7 at halftime. Braxton had possession to begin the second half, but Ravenswood’s defense moved the Eagles backward and, with a bad snap on the punt, the Red Devils took over on Braxton’s ten. Four plays later, Jacob Young scored on a 3-yard run, Hunter’s kick was good, and Ravenswood led 21-7. Braxton then drove all the way to Ravenswood’s one yard only to have a touchdown nullified by a Lady Eagles advance to 6-5 After two games last week, the Lady Eagles volleyball team has a 6-5 record. Losing to Lincoln Tuesday night and defeating Gilmer Thursday night, Braxton went 1-1 for the week. Braxton won the first match against Lincoln 2519, but lost 20-25, 19-25, and 21-25 in the next three to allow Lincoln to take the game. Against Lincoln, Macy Frame led the Lady Eagles in kills with 25. Tiffany Huffman scored three aces in the game. On Thursday night, the Eagles downed Gilmer in three straight matches—25-16, 25-9, and 25-18. Kattie McMillion had 19 digs against Gilmer to pace the Eagles while Cari O’ Malley and Huffman each scored three aces. The win over Gilmer put Braxton at 3-2 in the Little Kanawha Conference. Braxton’s junior varsity squad is 7-2 after winning both games last week. This week both squads go against Calhoun on Tuesday night and Wirt Thursday night. Both games are on Braxton’s court.

On fourth-down and goal from the sixth, Metz was stopped short of the goal line. Ravenswood added 2 points to the visitors’ side of the scoreboard on a safety in the fourth quarter as Metz was caught in his own end zone. The Eagles got on the scoreboard again late in the game as quarterback Chris Shuman connected with Ryan Skidmore on a 32-yard touchdown pass. A pass from Shuman to Skidmore for the conversion added two points and, at 1:36 in the fourth quarter, Ravenswood’s lead had been cut to 8. Braxton followed the touchdown with a successful onside kick, but an interception by Patrick Mullins stopped the Eagles’ scoring effort. Ravenswood let the clock run down. The Eagles have an open Friday this week. For their next game, they will travel to Webster County to take on the Highlanders on Oct. 19.

In everything but the scoring, the Knights outdid their opponents, but it was Richwood that was able to point points on the board. Both teams scored on their first possessions. At 5:26 in the first quarter, Richwood’s Jack Boley raced 41 yards downfield for the first score of the game. Zach Bennett ran the conversion to put Richwood up 8-0. The Knights scored their only touchdown late in the first quarter on a 3yard run by Yannick Yewawa, who gained 186 yards in the game. After the conversion run failed, Richwood held on to a twopoint lead. Boley scored again midway through the second quarter and, after Spencer McPherson ran the conversion, Richwood led 16-0 at halftime. Zac Bennett broke loose for a 37-yard touchdown run for Richwood late in the game. The run failed. The Knights had opportunities to score as they drove inside the red zone several times but surrendered the ball on downs or ran out of time. Braxton had the ball on Richwood’s 30-yard line late in the first half, but time ran out before they could get into the end zone. On their first poss e s s i o n i n the second half, the Knights drove all the way to Richwood’s seven-yard line before being stopped. Braxton coach Rob Cline explained, “When we got down close, Richwood knew that we had two choices. We could run Yannick [Yewawa} to the outside or James Singleton up the middle. That made it easy for them to key on us, and they did.” Cline went on to explain that, although quarterback Ronnie Carroll played, he “started having problems with his foot in the third quarter so he definitely couldn’t run the ball.” Coach Cline emphasized that his players “played their hearts out but just couldn’t overcome our problems Statistics: Braxton-Calhoun: Rushing: Braxton: Yannick Yewawa ............................... 21 carries for 186 Jacob Yanero ......................................... 6 carries for 24 James Singleton .................................... 6 carries for 19 Lance Gross ........................................... 4 carries for 15 Josh Lane ................................................... 1 carry for 8 Ronnie Carroll ......................................... 2 carries for 2 Dakota Hamrick ............................... 1 carry for minus 3 Total: ................................................... 41 carries for 251 yards yards yards yards yards yards yards yards Richwood rushing: Jack Boley .......................................... 12 carries for 105 Zack Bennett .......................................... 4 carries for 85 Spencer McPherson ........................... 10 carries for 47 Total .................................................... 26 carries for 237 yards yards yards yards Braxton passing: Ronnie Carroll ............................... 1 completion of 3 attempts Spencer McPherson ................................................................. ............................. 0 completions of 2 attempts, 1 interception Winter bowling season begins for the Mid Mountain High Rollers The Wednesday Night Mid Mountain Highrollers are off to a great start of the winter bowling season.
