Birch River man arrested during
attempted City National Bank robbery
Suspect allegedly
threatens to
blow-up bank
A Birch River man is
currently lodged in the
Central Regional Jail in
lieu of a $500,000 following a Friday incident at
the City National Bank in
Sutton. Police agencies
were alerted to a report
of a disorderly male in the
financial institution’s
lobby on Second Street.
Sgt. Aaron James was
first of many officers to
arrive. As James was es-
corting the suspect from
the building, he resisted
arrest and had to be restrained by officers.
Mirriam
Andre
Duncan, 32, of Old Turnpike Road, Birch River
was arrested following
the incident. Deputy
Jacob Dennison interviewed bank employees
and was told that Duncan
came into the bank and
wanted money withdrawn
from an account that
didn’t exist. The accused

Manchin receives warm greeting during
“Stand Up for Common Sense” visit
It was standing room only last
Thursday, when U.S. Senator Joe
Manchin visited Braxton County.
The capacity crowd gathered at the
Century Inn in Sutton for one of five
stops during the second week of the
Senator’s “Standing Up for Common
Sense” tour.
After personally greeting all those
in attendance Manchin briefed the
audience on several issues currently
being addressed in Washington. “Do
you want me to vote party lines or
what is best for West Virginia,”
brought a rousing response from the
crowd. The Senator has often voted
against party lines and been criticized
by the Obama administration. “Our
country needs change and it will take
a cooperative effort, across party lines,
to obtain meaningful change,” the
Senator said. “I am not going to vote
just to get elected. I am going to do
what is right. That is what I truly
believe you elected me to do and I
intend to fulfill that responsibility,”
added Manchin.
Following his remarks Senator
Manchin entertained questions from
the audience, which covered the

With only one week
remaining of the official

number of political
hopefuls has increased
to fourteen. Eight,
mostly incumbents, filed
for reelected during the
first week of the filing
period.
The largest area of
competition, at this time,
appears to be for the
office of Prosecuting
Attorney. Incumbent Kelly
Hamon McLaughlin was
the first to file. Since then,
former assistant Daniel
Boyd “Dan” Dotson II and
former Prosecutor Paula
M. Cunningham have
thrown their hats in the
ring.
Former
Sheriff,
Howard Carpenter is the
only candidate that has
filed to challenge George
L. Keener for the office of
Sheriff.
Former Board of
Education member Mike
Chapman has entered
the race for the two seats
open on that board.
Ernest F. Moore and
Roger W. Hall, both
incumbents will seek
another term.
Arlene Herndon has
filed for reelection to the
office of Assessor. David
L. Jack, Sr., Beth Smith
and Larry Clifton will
seek reelection to their
respective offices of
Commissioner
and
Magistrate. Rounding
out those filing for the
upcoming election is
Harold K. Skidmore for
the
position
of
Conservation District
Supervisor and S. Pat
Roberts for County
Surveyor.
Political hopefuls
have until January 28 to
make their intentions
official.
Commission gets update on Solid Waste Authority
J.L. Campbell was
first to address the
Braxton County Commission at their regular
meeting last Friday,
January 20. The current
president of the BC Solid
Waste Authority came
before the Commission to
report on the progress of
the organizations.
Campbell stated
that the audit had for
the past four years had
been completed by the
State. He stated that
while the formal written
report would be forthcoming, the auditor had
identified four areas of
concern during his exit
meeting with BSSWA
members. The representative identified the areas as: the organization
not holding regular
monthly meetings; no
separation of personnel
receiving cash; No
proper record for cash
payouts; not requiring a
copy of a photo ID to be
attached to purchases
of recyclable materials
as required by state law.
Campbell stated that all
but one of the identified
problems had been corrected. He stated that
the organization’s next
meeting will be January
24 at 1:00 p.m. and in-
vited the Commission
and public to attend.
Campbell stated
that the bill for the audit was approximately
$13,000. He requested
that the Commission
pay 50% of the costs. He
added that the Solid
Waste Authority had
complied with state requirement and would
now be eligible for state
grants. The board chairman praised the work of
fellow board members
Shirley Hyer and Ted
Elonis in repairing the
standings of the organization with the State.
“We can actually see a
light at the end of the
tunnel,” said Campbell.
He went on to ask for assistance in finding a new
location for the recycling
center. He stated that
the current location did
not accommodate the
equipment the center
had and that they were
actively looking for an
alternate location. “If
you know of any property that might meet our
needs, please let us
know,” Campbell concluded.
Campbell also gave
the Commission an update on the road closure
behind the old Jail on
Riverview Drive. The
Sutton Mayor explained
that the contractor putting in the sewer system
improvements caused
the damage to West Virginia American Water’s
water line. He added
that work to repair the
line and street were
nearing completion.
Prosecuting Attorney
Kelly
Hamon
McLaughlin requested
that the county prepare
two checks for $125
each for her and her assistant to attend the
Prosecuting Attorney’s
Winter Meeting. A motion to grant the request
was made by Terry
Frame.
Paula Cunningham,
a member of the Deputy
Sheriff’s Civil Service
Board was next to address the Commission.
She informed the group
regarding changes in
record keeping and regulations pertaining to the
Civil Service Board. At
the conclusion of the informational session,
Cunningham informed
the Commission that she
planned to turn in her
resignation to the board
that day, as she intended
to pursue election to public office in the May Pri-
mary Election.
Jarod Putnam of Ireland explained problems
he was having obtaining
mapping information of
property in his area.
Terry Frame told Putnam
that the Commission
would contact the County
Surveyor to see if he had
any suggestions on where
he may obtain the information he needed.
Animal Control Officer Rob Hamil appeared
before the Commission to
explain invoices that had
been submitted for payment. He told the Commission that the addition
travel and expense
vouchers
were
in

Petfinders Grant and the
county would be reimbursed.
In other action the
short form settlements for
the following were approved on a motion by

Mabel Miller Eagle, Alva
Green, James Daniel
Luzader, Nellie Ruth
Rollyson, and Frank E.
Schiefer.
Gary Ellyson made a
motion to correct an erroneous tax ticket for Paul
H. and Ellen K. Simmons.
Terry Frame read a
list of various boards and
made a motion to assign
Commissioners to those
boards accordingly. The
list include: David Jack to
Board of Health, Park and
Recreations Board, Little
Kanawha Parkway Authority, Mountain CAP
and WVU Extension;
Gary Ellyson to the
Braxton County Development Authority, and the

new boiler system for the
Courthouse Annex Building. Only One bid was received. Terry Frame made
a motion to award the
bid, in the amount of
$38,950, to General Appliances LLC, Steve

Drive. Work will be scheduled for spring.
Terry Frame made a
motion to purchase approximately 25 ton of
gravel, once bids were re-
ceived, for the road leading to the county radio
tower and Sugar Creek
PSD’s water tank at
Frametown.
Gary Ellyson made a
motion to approve West
Virginia Counties Risk

As I
See It
Self-interest bill moves fast…
The bill to drastically elevate pay of elected
officials appears to be on the fast track in the
legislature. According to an article in the Charleston Gazette last Thursday, the Senate Government Organizations Committee advanced the bill
without amendment or discussion. The bill raises
salaries of county commissioners by $10,000,
sheriffs by $13,000 county and circuit clerks by
$15,000 each, assessors by $10,000 and prosecuting attorneys by $12,000. In our county that
would amount to a $95,000 pay raise for eight
elected officials.
Of course there is this provision that says
something about each county must have the
money to implement the raises. I can assure you
that, if passed, those raises will go into effect as a
first priority. They, the elected officials can say
what they want, but they will find a way. After all,
this money goes directly into their pockets.
I don’t know how much good it will do, but I
plan to contact our elected officials and oppose
this rate increase. Our county elected positions
pay quite well. These officials are very well compensated by Braxton County standards. The raise
is excessive. Even worse, the wheels are greased
with our taxpayer dollars to see this bill fast
tracked and passed… The only way to derail this
train is public outcry.
Legislative
Update
By Senator Doug Facemire
The 80th Regular
Legislative Session is
gaining steam as we
approach the end of the
second week. The
Senate is hard at work
producing legislation to
send to committees for
review. So far, the
Senate has introduced
352 bills for consideration of which I am
proud to say that I am
sponsoring 32.
Currently, I am the
lead sponsor of two bills:
Senate Bills 349 and 350.
The first concerns the
distribution of assets
following divorce. The
second relates to automatically voiding a will
upon legal separation.
I remain dedicated
to ensuring that military
members and their
families receive the
necessary support and
compensation for their
service to our country.
As a result, I am sponsoring Senate Bill 136
which provides military
families free certified
copies of veterans’ death
certificates, and Senate
Bill 152 which guarantees provisional unemployment benefits to
military spouses.
In addition to those
bills, I am sponsoring

A bit of good news…
During last Friday’s County Commission
meeting I asked the Commissioners to update me
and the public on a delinquent tax bill that interested us all. This is the $3200+ tax liability that
prompted the sale of the County’s new 9-1-1
center at the Sheriff’s Tax Auction.
I had inquired privately about the situation
of collecting at least half that money from the
previous owners who sold the county the building.
In the wake of those conversations, I was not sure
the County intended to pursue the matter. My
questioning on Friday was to get an official response. I asked what had been done to collect
that money and/or what was the Commission’s
intentions were.
I was presently surprised by their response.
They all confirmed their intentions to pursue the
matter, which in my opinion is the only option. I
told them that was morally the right thing to do. If
they expected me and you to pay our taxes, they
had to pursue this debt. I don’t intend to forget,
or let them.
The earthquake…
I received a call from Gene Smith at the DEP
this week. He apologized for not getting back to
me the previous week when I called. I requested
the forms his agency uses to track the amount of
waste deposited of at the Frametown disposal
well. Mr. Smith agreed to send them. As of this
writing they have not arrived. He did say that
Chesapeake had honored their commitment to
keep the well head pressure to the reduced 200
psi rate. He did add that that did not mean that
the amount of material had not increased. I am
anxious to receive those forms and review them.
I’ll keep you posted.

Flatwoods Canoe Run Public Service District issued a boil-water advisory
last Friday for five customers in the Buckeye area of Sutton. Problems arose
when workers discovered a break in a 2 inch line at approximately 12:30 p.m.
Friday, January 20. According to FCRPSD General Manager Rodney Pritt, service
was restored later that afternoon. The boil-water advisory remained in effect
until 3:00 p.m. Saturday. Pritt said all customers affected by the interruption
and advisory were personally called and made aware of the problems. “This

Across the hall,
four bills passed the
House of Delegates and
will now move to the
Senate for review. Of
the four, House Bill
2402, involves redefining the term “public
record” as it is used in
the Freedom of Information Act. At the time of
this writing, the bill is
in the Senate Judiciary

and passed by the House of
Delegates. Those five now
move over to the Senate to
continue the process. In the
state Senate, Senators have
introduced 375 bills for their
consideration and debate.
The first three bills the
House passed included House
Bill 2402, which would redefine the term “public record”
as it is used in the Freedom of
Information Act. According to
the bill, “public record” means
any writing containing information relating to the conduct
of the public’s business,
prepared, owned and retained
by a public body. This bill was
a carryover measure from the
2011 Regular Session. The
House unanimously passed a
similar FOIA update last year,
but it failed to emerge from
the Senate.
Another carry-over bill,
House Bill 3128, was also
passed this week by the House
regarding expungement of
certain criminal records of a
person found not guilty or
charges dismissed. The person
would file a civil petition to
expunge all records relating to
the arrest, charge or other
matters arising out of the
arrest or charge. This bill also
states that there should be no
filing fees charged or costs
assessed for filing for a petition
for expungement.
House Bill 2521 would
eliminate the requirement of
serving domestic violence
orders by certified mail. Domestic violence orders would
be able to be served by publication in the last known
county of the respondent after
personal serving is unsuccessful. The respondent must also
be simultaneously served via
first class mail to all known
addresses they have had.
HB 2533 would require
the identities of signatories to
a certificate for a person
seeking ballot access to be
made public and verified. HB
4072 would eliminate requirement for county boards of
education to meet on the first
Monday of July. These bills
now move to the Senate.
Of the legislation introduced in the House last week,
I am especially pleased with
the comprehensive mine safety
bill (HB 4085) or which I am a
sponsor. The bill is based on
the four reports recently
released by federal and state
officials as a result of the
Upper Big Branch mine disaster. Coupled with the tragic
events at Sago and Aracoma, it
is long overdue for a comprehensive overhaul. We anticipate the Governor’s mine
safety bill will be introduced
this week. In the end, it is
critical that recommendations

preventative health screenings, cardiovascular risk
assessments, education and
information about improving
one’s health. The initial
screening will calculate a
legislator’s 10-year cardiac
risk assessment, body mass
index and screen glucose,
cholesterol and blood pressure
levels. Legislators will receive
information detailing their

and education on how to
improve their health. I commend my friend Delegate Poore

In pursuit of the
Ruffed Grouse...
With deer season
only a memory now my
thoughts have shifted towards pursuing the elusive ruffed grouse. I think
I was as eager as Jack,
Sammy’s 8 year old English Setter, to get out for
the first grouse hunt of the
New Year a couple of
weekends ago. So far, the
weather has cooperated
with minimal snowfall this
winter and on that Saturday the conditions were
perfect.
There was a light rain
falling as we pulled into
the spot where we would
start the hunt. Sammy
opened the dog box and
put the collar on Jack as I
loaded and shucked a
shell into my shotgun. The
overcast skies and damp
ground made for good
scenting conditions for
Jack.
Just as we started
down the old road the rain
let up and the sun tried to
peak through. Not long
into the hunt we found
what we were looking for
after we neared the first
patch of thick brush on the
old strip mine bench we
were walking along. I was
running my mouth and
into a good story, imagine
that, when all of a sudden
a grouse erupted out of
the briar patch right in
front of us.
Jack had swung to
our left and went around
the sitting bird. After the
quick initial surprise you
always get when a grouse
flushes unexpectedly, I
caught movement to my
right and there was another grouse. I shouldered
my 16 gauge and turned
towards the bird as it took
flight. I tried to draw a
bead on the fleeing grouse,
but the brush was too
thick. There was a third
grouse that took off at the
same time.
We weren’t even 15
minutes into the hunt
when all of this action
happened so things were
looking good. We continued on and I tried my best
to keep the story telling
down. We flushed a couple
more birds that we only
heard but didn’t see.
Jack was working
out in front of us as we
neared another patch of
thick briars and autumn
olive. About that time the
ground shook right beside
Sammy not 5 feet away as
a grouse took off out of a
grapevine. He shouldered
his automatic 20 gauge
shotgun and racked off
three quick shots but the
bird glided away unharmed.
I also got a shot off
but not as fast as Sammy.
I’m going to have to get me
one of those automatic
shotguns as Sammy gets
three shots to my one.
Flushing grouse are hard
to hit especially in the
thick West Virginia woods
where they live.
The wind was blowing
at our back most of the
time and the wrong way
for Jack to pick up on the
scent. He was going past
them before he smelled
them. We continued on
and Jack got lined out
when he went on point at
the edge of a steep bank.
Sammy and I eased in
towards Jack only to hear
the sound of wing beats
from the flushing grouse
as they glided over the hill.
Once again Sammy got a
quick shot or two off but
didn’t connect. By then we
were over half way
through the hunt and had
a few less shells, but no
grouse.
Just as we neared
another thick patch of briars Sammy told me to get
ready as it was a good spot.
Jack was working a hollow
to our left when once again
a grouse flew up right in
front of Sammy.
He
quickly shouldered his
gun and shot, and shot,
and shot again but the
grouse kept going. “Man I
was all over that thing, I
don’t know how I missed
it” Sammy said with a bewildered tone. “This gun
must be off” he said.
“Yea, yea… famous
last words” I replied. I
enjoyed giving him heck
after that. We ended up
flushing another grouse
before we got to the truck
but it went low and I
wasn’t sure where Jack
was at so I didn’t shoot.
It’s always best to play it
safe when you’re unsure.
We took a lunch
break and drove to another spot that afternoon.
On the drive in I had to
stop as a grouse was
standing in the middle of
the road. It slowly walked
off and we marked the location as we had planned
on hunting the old strip
road back out.
I parked a few hundred yards up the road
and we all got ready as we
knew there was a grouse
close by. Jack worked his
way up the road and we
followed. As we neared
the location where the
grouse was, Jack stopped
dead in his tracks and
went on point; only he
was on the opposite side
of the road from where
the grouse went.
“Get ready” Sammy
said as he slowly crept in.
Jack remained still looking intently in front of him
when all of a sudden two
grouse took off over the
hill. I stayed in the road
and kept watching the
other side when that
grouse decided it too had,
had enough and took off.
I drew a bead and fired
but missed and the
grouse sailed off.
We walked on out
the road and in no time
Jack was on point again.
This time he was over the
hill locked up motionless
on an old logging road
about 30 yards away. I
eased up the road to get
in front of him and when
I peeked over the bank it
was a sight of beauty.
There stood Jack on
a perfect point with the
grouse standing in the
road not 15 yards in front
of him. The grouse saw
me the same time I saw it
and wasted no time in
taking flight. Once again
I shot but the grouse
glided down the mountain unharmed.
That was by far the
best point of the day but
Jack had two more after
that. Both of those points
the grouse held tight and
allowed Jack to get close.
And like all the others,
they flushed, we shot,
and they flew away unscathed. By then Sammy
was certain his gun was
off and I suggest he shoot
it to find out.
We found an old
stump and picked a spot
and sure enough when
Sammy shot he was almost
a foot low. He shot again
with the same results.
Sure enough his gun was
off and he had been shooting under those grouse all
day. Ummm, not sure
what my excuse is.
By the end of the day
we flushed a total of 16
different grouse and
didn’t kill a one. Needless
to say, we didn’t hurt the
grouse population any
but sure had fun shooting. Like I said earlier,
those suckers are hard to
hit and what makes them
so fun to hunt. Grouse
season is in until February 29 so there’s still
plenty of time to make it
back out for another outing. I’ll have to go get
some more shells and
Sammy needs to line his
gun in before then.

Hello,
Everyone!
I
hope this
finds all
of
you
well and
that you
enjoyed
the pleasant weather
we have had the last
few days.
Weird
weather for January
isn’t it? I have what
looks like daffodils coming up in my back yard!
Gassaway will be
holding a Flashlight
Walk against crime and
drugs in March. I will
have more information
about this in the coming weeks. All residents, organizations,
business owners and
anyone who may be interested will be encouraged to participate. I
think this is awesome!
I was recently contacted by a friend of
mine who has some
very old guest books
from the Valley Hotel
that was once a very
busy place here in
Gassaway. In telling
me about the books, he
mentioned that there
was a lot interesting
folks who stayed there
and asked if I would
like to look at them. Of
course, being the history buff that I am, I
can’t wait to get my
hands on them and
share the information
with you!
The Community
Building in Gassaway
will be going through
some changes in the
coming months. New
flooring in the large
meeting hall and new
carpet in the offices and
hallway, as well as a
kitchen makeover are
all very welcomed improvements to the historic building! If you
haven’t noticed, the
building recently received new windows
that look fantastic and
have really improved
the insulation of the
building. New benches
for the square are in
the works and should be
in place in the near future. I am proud of this
little town and the improvements throughout. To me, it shows
the pride that residents
and business owners
have for their community.
Birthdays
this
week are;
TRUTH OR TRADITION?
AMAZING GRACE
A Favorite Hymn. John Newton was brought
up by a godly mother who passed away when he
was seven. Raised then by a step-mother who
wasn’t so kind, he later drifted into a sinful life.
He became captain of a slave-trading ship, but
one night during a terrible storm, during which
he feared for his life, “after many dangers, toils,
and snares,” he had a change of heart, and
began his journey back to God. He went on to
become one of England’s great preachers, a strong
opponent of slavery, and the author of many
hymns, his most popular being “Amazing Grace.”
What is so amazing about grace?
Destroying A Masteriece. Just suppose,
after months of painstaking effort, as Leonardo
daVinci applied the last finishing touches to “The
Last Supper”, somebody came along with a knife
and slashed the painting to ribbons. How would
daVinci feel? Suppose that when Michaelangelo
completed the statue of David, somebody came
along with a sledge and smashed it to bits. How
would Michaelangelo feel?
Destroying God’s Masterpiece. God created
the world a beautiful place in which for man to
live. Man was the crowning touch of His creation.
After the creation of man, “God saw every thing
that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.”
(Gen. 1:31). But then sin comes along and mars
and destroys the beauty of God’s creation. How
do you suppose God feels about that?
The Horrible Nature. It’s hard for us to
imagine the horrible nature of sin, because we
are involved in it. God brings new life into the
world, so sweet, so pure, so innocent. Who has
not looked into the face of a newborn baby without amazement and wonder? Now look into the
face of an alcoholic, a drug addict, a porn addict, a rapist, a serial killer, etc. Can you believe that was once a sweet, innocent child?
That’s what sin does to the pure, beautiful lives
God brings into the world. How do you suppose
He feels about that?
Freedom Of Choice. Since all have sinned
and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23),
we are the ones wielding the knife and swinging
the sledge. We are the ones destroying the crowning beauty of God’s creation. It’s true, of course,
that we are tempted, nagged, and harassed by
the devil to slash the canvass…..to smash the
image, but we are creatures of choice. We don’t
have to do it. It’s our stubbornness, our rebellion that destroys the innocence…..the purity of
the life God gave us.
Life Extended. The wages of sin is death
(Rom. 6:23), but God doesn’t want us to die. He
still loves us…..enough that He was willing to give
His Son to die in our stead, that we might live
with Him eternally in a better world than this,
even better than the Garden of Eden. That’s
Grace! THAT’S AMAZING!

Sadly,
Ina
R
Skidmore passed away
on January 18 th. “Inee”
as I knew her, was a
very special person in
my life. Growing up she
and her family lived on
the corner of our street
and I spent a lot of time
there. Inee had the patience of a saint and a
smile to match. My attempt at playing a song
on her beautiful organ
surely would have
made most make me
stop and never allow me
to touch it again, but
not her. She would
smile that kind smile
and listen even though
it was horrible. We
spent many hours playing Wheel of Fortune or
cards at her dining
table and pool or ping
pong in the garage.
She always made me
feel welcome and the
family never forgot me
and my brother on
Christmas, giving us
those wonderful huge
candy canes! Over the
years we have kept in
touch through her son,
Rodney, and Christmas
cards. I looked forward
to receiving hers every
year as it reminded me
of my childhood. I will
forever treasure my
memories of Inee, her
kindness
and
her
smile. Our loss is definitely heaven’s gain, a
true angel in every
sense of the word.
Braxton County, WV
Please keep her family
in your prayers.
Sympathy is extended to the families
of Larry Deal, Ina R
Skidmore,
Merida
Louise LaFon and Mary
Faye James. Please
keep them in your
prayers.
As most of you
know by now, Coach
Joe Paterno passed way
Sunday. The legendary
coach will be sadly
missed by many. It is
a shame that so many
media outlets want to
exploit his passing by
continuously mention-
ing the scandal that
rocked Penn State in
recent months. I, for
one, do not believe that
he was treated fairly
and it is sad that the
media cannot just pay
tribute to such a legendary man and all of
his accomplishments.
At the least, they should
have more respect for
his family.
“Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart,
and mind, confidence is
the key to all locks” ~
Joe Paterno
Until next week,
take care!

A poem to share …
Twas the night of the
Orange Bowl and throughout the nation
We were the underdogs on every TV and Radio
Station
ESPN said we couldn’t
win, Clemson would destroy us in the end
Said our guys weren’t so
great, but one didn’t know
West Virginia was a state
The fans were
nestled all snug in the
s
t
a
n
d
s
Clapping along with the
Mountaineer
band
And ma in her jammies
and I in my WVU cap
Settled in for the game, a
bowl of chips in my lap
When out on the field
there arose such a clatter I turned up the sound
to see what was the matter Touchdown after
Touchdown after Touchdown
they
scored
10 in all for a 70 score
The QB in charge
was so lively and quick
I knew in a moment it
was
Geno
Smith
More rapid than eagles
his passes they came,
Then he pointed and
scrambled and call
them by name
Now Austin! Now
Bailey! Now Buie and
Alston! On Cook! On
Brown! On Milhouse
and Irvin!
Tightrope the side
lines and reach for that
score, We make history
tonight, no one has
done it before!
The coach praised
his players, the fans
stayed
for
hours,
Dana still wet from his
Gatorade
shower.
He turned with a jerk,
to his team gave a
w h i s t l e ,
And away they all flew
like down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, as he strode out
of sight, ”The couches
are burning in Mo-town
tonight!”

Carr. Her grandmother
was
Massie

also mentioned a Dan

speak with Johnna. She
has some information for
you Johnna so you may

Linda did some family research on the Carr family. She is a relative of

Running
for
Wounded Warriors – A
100 day cross country
run
by
Jamie
Summerlin.
Jamie
Summerlin is a 39
year old former US Marine from West Virginia. On March 26,
2012, he will start a
100-day cross country
run as a fundraiser to
support his fellow military members through
the Wounded Warrior
Project (WWP). It’s going to take 30-40 miles
a day to complete the
almost 3500 mile run.
He will start in Coos
County, Oregon, where
his wife, Tiffany, is
from, and finish on July
4, 2012 in Baltimore,
MD. Wounded Warrior
Project began when several individuals took
small, inspired steps to
help others in need.
One night while watching the evening news, a
group of veterans and
brothers were moved by
the difficult stories of
the first wounded service members returning home from Afghanistan and Iraq. They realized then and there
that something needed
to be done for these
brave individuals beyond the brass bands
and ticker tape parades.
The run would not be
possible without the
generous donations and
sponsorships of people
just like you. If you are
able to donate even a
few dollars, it will make
a huge difference to
someone that needs
your help. To learn
more about Jamie, his
run, and how you can
help, please visit his

WVU Extension Service to host
educational dinner meeting
The WVU Extension
Service will host an educational dinner meeting
on February 8, 2012 at
Jackson’s Mill. Dr. Robert Dailey will present,
“Agricultural Issues.”
Dr. Dailey is a Professor of Animal Science
at WVU. Improving the
reproductive efficiency of
farm animals has been
the focus of Dr. Robert
Dailey’s 30 years of research at WVU’s farms.
Since 2002, he has held
the Davis-Michael Professor endowed faculty position and has guided
graduate students and
postdoctoral trainees
through their research
programs.
For this program Dr.
Dailey will be discuss
various issues that face
farmers today and how to
deal with the public when
confronted about these
issues. These include:
Are animals raised for
food causing an abundance of methane gas?
Are pesticides, fertilizers,
and animal wastes contaminating ground water? Is sub-therapeutic
The Kroger Family of Stores
use of antibiotics wrong?
Should we raise corn for
food or fuel? How should
we decide land use priorities? Is genetically modifying organisms wrong?
Is sustainable agriculture wrong? What is the
right way to deal with
predators? What is the
difference between animal rights and animal
welfare?
The dinner will be at
6:30 p.m. at the Dining
Hall and the program at
the Assembly Hall. The
dinner will cost $3.00/
person with reservations
that are made by Wednesday, February 1 at the
Braxton County Extension Office (765-2809).
The dinner fee will be collected at the door. There
is no charge to attend
only the program, which

PAT’S CHAT
T h e
Memorial
service
is over,
and
I
must tell
you that
e v e r y t h i n g
turned
out beautifully. The
ministers,
Rick
Cutright,
Kingsley
Whitsett and Randy
Murphy were inspiring,
the singers, Rick and
Bonnie Cutright, and
sisters Mary Ellen
Davidson and Hallie
Hurst, sang what I
asked them to sing and
did it beautifully, and
everyone who chose to
speak about what John
Ridpath meant to them
touched my heart.
Friends, family, (including church family),
people whom I used to
work with at Sharpe
Hospital, dear neighbors, spoke about him.
Jim
Gilley
of
television’s Three Angels Broadcasting Network spoke via a DVD
about John’s influence
in his life. There
wasn’t time to read all
the heart-touching letters that were sent to
me, but almost everything was mentioned by
someone during the
sharing from the audience. They missed telling about his dune
buggy and his gymnastics feats as clown for
the team along with his
friend, Riley Mercer, or
the fact that he could
actually walk on his
hands, even up the
stairs! I have the letters in an album which
you may stop by and
read sometime if you
want to. I made another
album of various pictures of him. I really
didn’t know the fellow
BY
PAT RIDPATH
they tell me about from
his younger years. I
wish I had known him
then.
I really appreciate
Samantha, my grandson Chucky’s friend, for
taking the portable microphone to those who
wanted to speak. I have
sent a large file to
some folks who may
want to hear the Memorial service. I can
send it to you if you let
me know right away. I
have access to it only
until January 27 on the
site where I can transfer a large file.
I am touched by all
the cards I have received and calls and
gifts. The donations
have been wonderful
and as generous as you
have been, our school
truly needs more help
due to loss of income
when some students
transferred and rising
costs of everything. If
God impresses you to
help them, please do.
Please pray about it and
let God impress you
what to do for Brushy
Fork Christian School,

My brother, Harry
Wiant, wrote about his
day. I hope for all of you
better days than this:
“A Day I Can’t Forget
“I must admit I did
not look forward to air
travel (folks my age can
remember when it was
fun), but thanks to my
daughter, Teresa, the
ticket from the Seattle
airport to Charleston,
WV, was in hand. The
taxi was to arrive at 4
am, no problem for an
early bird like me. My
suitcase had been
packed days ahead of
time, so at 3:45 am I got
on the elevator on the
5th floor of my senior
residence. It started
down and stopped,
something that had
never happened in the
2 years I’ve lived there.
It showed I was still on
the 5th floor, but the
door would not open. I
could not get out and
called the lady at the
reception desk on the
1st floor. She had no
idea what to do, and the
clock was moving on.
Finally, she was able to
get the door open, and I
caught the taxi. Roads
were a sheet of ice and
snow, but we got to the
airport on time. Not a
great start, but I was on
the plane ready to fly to
Chicago, New York,
then the airport in
Charleston.
“Not so fast! The
airport was a sheet of
ice, and we sit on the
plane for 3 hours before
leaving. Of course I
missed my flight in Chicago, so the routed me
to Pittsburgh. My sister, Pat, and her friend
Libby Ferrell were there
on time ready for the 3hour
drive
to
Buckhannon, WV. It
was snowing lightly, but
it keep getting thicker
and became a real blizzard. Driving was terrible, saw a vehicle upside down in the ditch,
and Libby and I had fulltime duty backseat
driving while Pat kept
trying to go faster than
the 30 mph limit desired by the backseat
and front-seat driving
team. We finally arrived
after this fearful and
prayerful journey.”
One friend (?) said
during sharing at the
Memorial that my column is not a Chat, that
I go on and on and on!

St Michael’s Food Pantry thank you
St Michael’s Food
Pantry in Burnsville
would like to thank the
Boy Scouts of Cub Pack 1
and Troop 1 of Sutton. St.
Michael’s was the lucky
food pantry recipient of
their food drives. The food
they collected helped
families in the area.
In November the
boys and their parents
helped give out and carry
boxes of food for clients.
They worked non stop in
the pouring rain carrying
big boxes of food up the
stairs and handing out
turkeys and all the trimmings for Thanksgiving.
The hard work and cold
rain of November did not
faze these boys. In December, they came and
helped with the Christmas pantry giving out
hams and toys as well as
boxes of food to area clients. “These boys worked
so hard and did such a
fabulous job helping the
clientele up the steep
stairs with their boxes of
food,” added a St.
Michael’s spokesperson. The boys who came
were Adrian and Justin
VanKirk, Jay Cooper,
Danny Desper, Robert
and Jack Boyce, Daniel
Reed,
Wesley
Stonestreet and Christian Given. Parents
were: Peggy and Terry
VanKirk,
Sharon
Desper,Louise Boone,
Ron Facemire and Joe
and Jeanette Boyce.
“Thank you all for helping to make the holidays
brighter for families in
our area.”
Simmons family thanks
In
memory
of
Walter G. Simmons, I
would like to take this
opportunity to thank
everyone that helped in
any way during our loss.
Prayers, phone calls,
cards, flowers, friends
and neighbors for the
food and paper supplies
that they brought in.
Many thanks to everyone at Stump Chapel
Church for not only preparing a wonderful dinner but for bringing it to

Dog Tales: Stories
County Animal Shelter
January is a time of
new beginnings. For
many of the animals arriving at the shelter, a
new beginning is exactly
what they need. Some
have come from backgrounds of neglect or
abuse. Some have never
known a loving home or
family of their own. Pet
ownership offers many
benefits, including friendship, companionship, security, unconditional
love, and a sense of wellbeing. Studies confirm
that pet owner live several years longer than
non-owners. We are always looking for loving
homes.
If you have
thoughtfully considered
adopting a pet, please visit
the shelter and see if
your next forever friend is
waiting for you. Please
note that the shelter is
beginning new hours:
Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri 123. Sat 10-3. Sun by appt.
CLOSED ON WEDNESDAY. You may call for
additional information at
765-2200 or log onto
petfinder.com and enter
dog search for Sutton zip
code 26601 for our entire
listing. Here are just a
few of the animals ready
to greet you:
TINKER: Trixie and
Tinker are two female
pomeranian pups who
were turned in by an
owner who called them “a
pain in the #$!” and did
not want to care for them
any longer. He provided
limited information about
the dogs.
Trixie has
found a wonderful home.
Now Tinker is wondering
why it is taking so long for
someone to see how special she is.
Tinker
weighs only 8#. She is
outgoing and has a great
deal of energy. She will
do best in a home that
has a place for her to get
both lots of love and regular physical activity.
Please refer to shelter #112-D025
his instincts told me that
chickens were meant to
be prey. So it is not surprising that he went after
the neighbor’s chickens,
killing several in the process.
To see Hershey
now, you would not imagine that this very scared,
small dog had any aggression in him. We believe
that he is a dog that could
do well in a setting where
he did not have access to
this tempting bird. (After
all, he does have hunter
in his blood). Hershey is
estimated to be 4-5 years
old and weighs 14#. This
is a dog deserving of a
chance to show that in
the right setting, he can
be a good family dog.
BEAR:
Bear is an
adult male black lab mix
who was found along the
interstate 3 miles south
of the Burnsville exit. We
are hoping that an owner
will call or come looking
for him, because he is a
nice dog that appears to
have been a family pet.
We don not know much
about him, but should he
remain unclaimed, he
will become available for
adoption on Jan. 23. We
estimate his age to be 34 years old and his weight
is currently 68#. Please
refer to shelter #1-12D040
BUMBLE
BEE:
Bumble Bee encompasses all the qualities
present in what is referred to as a “West Virginia brown dog.” A true
mixed breed, it is hard to
identify what all breeds
are in his pedigree. At
only 25# at an estimated
one year of age, he is a bit
on the small side. But he
is intelligent, friendly,
loving, and has GREAT
potential as a family pet.
Bumble Bee was abandoned in a local neighborhood. When no owner
could be located, he was
brought to the shelter to
HERSHEY: Hershey help him find the good
he
deserves.
is basically a good dog who home
follows his instincts, and Bumble Bee is a great
choice of a family pet for
anyone looking for a
young dog that is beyond
the chewing stages of a
puppy. Bumble Bee needs
your help NOW to give him
that second chance.
NEWT: Newt is a
good little dog. But when
a young child started teasing him, he nipped back
in self-defense. It was a
controlled nip. No skin
was broken.
But the
owner felt that the dog
needed to be relocated.
We have found Newt to be
a very timid, frightened
dog in this unfamiliar environment. He is intimidated by the many larger
dogs surrounding him.
Undoubtedly his personality would shine through in
a calm and stable setting.
We think Newt has great
pet potential, but would
probably do best in a home
without young children,
as he is frightened by
their sudden, spontaneous moves toward him.
He is estimated to be two
years old and weighs
15.5#.
If you are that
special person that can
make a difference in the
life of this dog, please call
the shelter and refer to
#1-12-D039
SAMMY: Sammy is a
wonderful young yellow
lab mix. Someone left the
dog on the shelter grounds
after hours. As a result,
we don’t know much about
his background. But he
seems like a great dog.
He is calm, well-behaved,
and does well with the
shelter staff. We estimate
his age to be one or two
years old. He currently
weighs 47#, which is
pretty much his adult
weight.
If he remains
unclaimed, he will become
available for adoption on
Jan. 25. Inquiries are invited at any time.
We
think Sammy has OUTSTANDING pet potential,
and would make a wonderful addtiion to any family.

first time. The enrollment will include children who will be three
prior to September 1 and

Parents are asked to
bring a cop y o f t h e
child’s immunization

This enrollment is
vital so that schools can

Spruce Grove CEOS met in January
The Spruce Grove
CEOS (Community Educational Outreach Service) Club met on January 9, 2012 at the Hope
Baptist
Church,
Frametown at 6 pm.
Meeting was called to
order by President
Shirley Brown. Followed
by the pledge to the flag,
Sandy did the roll call.
Those in attendance
were: Rosa Lee Blake,
Christa
Brosius,
Shirley Brown, Willa
Brown, Linda Dobbins,
Genevieve Heckert,
Eulace James, Paulene
Perkey, Sandy Samples,
Eula and Janis Young.
Janis read ‘Bless
The
Interruptions’,
from the Daily Bread.
She read Psalm 33:1011, followed by prayer.
Sandy read the minutes
from the November and
December
meetings.
Janis gave the treasurers
report. Membership dues
were paid for 15 members,
snacks for VA, and Kroger
gift certificates were purchased for five families
for Christmas. On January 19, 2012 everyone is
invited to help crochet
mats for the homeless.
They are made with plastic bags. We will start at
10 a.m. at the church.
Christa our Health
Motivator did our lesson
“Fall Prevention”. She
had us walk a line on the
floor. We found it was
quite difficult. As we
age, falls are more common and can be fatal.
Clear your clutter, keep
items within reach,
don’t walk in the dark,
and exercise your legs
for better balance.
These are just a few
tips.
We need people to
read at the schools and
to the shut-ins, Mondays from 8-12 at the
Frametown School.
Eulace had our program lesson “Time for
Tea”. Tea originated
2737 BC China. The
wind carried dried camellia leave into a pot
of boiling water! Black
tea is the most common
tea. There is also,
green teas, white teas,
and Oolong tea. Ice tea
was invented at the
1904 World’s Fair in St.
Louis.
Richard
Blechynden was attempting to speed up
sales, and he dropped
ice into a cup of hot tea.
It was a hit! In 1908
Thomas Sullivan was
selling tea samples in
bags to restaurants and
he found they were not
extracting the tea from
the bags, so tea bags
were born. Eulace
served tea to those who
wanted it after the lesson along with Shirley.
Shirley handed out
Garden Calendars, our
2012 Yearbooks and we
also
received
our
Health Motivators Calendars.
Secret sisters were
picked. Cards were sent to
Carolyn Patrick and Susan Shue.
Shirley has ten
backpacks to fill at our
next club meeting. Everyone is to bring toiletries
to fill them for DHHR.

Braxton County Eagles go 2-1 on week
Two wins and one
near-win could well be the
way to describe the Eagles’
performance last week.
Braxton defeated Webster
61-53 on Wednesday night
and handed Calhoun a 6242 defeat on Friday night,
but lost 58-60 to Oak Hill Saturday night in spite of a
strong second-half comeback effort. Braxton carries
a 10-3 record into Roane
County Friday night for a
conference matchup. The
Eagles remain undefeated
in LKC play.
Three players scored
in double figures in
Braxton’s win over Webster.
Jordan Lacy, who pulled
down 15 rebounds for a
double-double, led with 20
points. Jordan Coen added
16, and Zack Nibert scored
12. In that game, the Eagles
came from a 4-point firstquarter deficit to take a onepoint lead at halftime. After
dropping behind again in the
third period, Braxton
outscored the Highlanders
by 13 in the fourth to take
the win.
In the home win over
Calhoun, Coen, the only
Braxton player in double figures, paced the Eagles with
20 points. Against Calhoun,
Braxton took a slight lead in
the first and expanded it to
39-20 by halftime. The
Eagles held a five-point edge
in the third and, although
Calhoun came up with a 128 fourth, it was far too little
too late. In the Calhoun
game, four Braxton players—
Ronnie Carroll, Austin
Rhodes, Easton Hutton, and
Nibert—had perfect nights at
the foul line. Overall, Braxton
made 80 percent of their free
throws.
The Braxton-Oak Hill
game began badly for the
Eagles as the visiting Red
Devils jumped out to a 13-2
lead after the first quarter
and took a 15-point lead into
halftime. Coach Rick
Frame, who said he had
“warned” his players that
they “needed to be in the
game from the first whistle,”
saw the team come out in
the second half to play the
way he had hoped they would
play the entire game. Down
at one time by as much as
20 points, the Eagles came
up with a strong and aggressive second half which
pulled them within two by
the end of the game. Oak Hill
took a 60-58 win, although
Braxton outscored their opponents 38-25 in the second
half.
Lacy led the Eagles’
scoring with 21 points. Coen
scored 13, and Easton
Hutton 12. Braxton’s fieldgoal shooting at 38.7 percent, was below Oak Hill’s
even 50 percent, and the
Red Devils outrebounded the
Eagles 31-24. At the foul line,
Oak Hill outperformed
Braxton 60.9 percent to 37.5.
High school girls win two
at home, lose at Gilmer
The Lady Eagles,
recently ranked fifth
among state AA teams,
have gone 2-1 in the
past two weeks’ play.
Playing at home during
the week of Jan. 9, they
scored wins over Roane
and Calhoun. Last
Tuesday they lost at
Gilmer County. Currently, their record is
10-3 overall and 7-2 in
the LKC behind Clay
and Gilmer.
Corri Phillips put
in 21 points and Hunter
Sodaro added 17 to lead
the Eagles to a 67-47
win over Roane on Jan.
10. Braxton took an
early lead and went into
the locker room at halftime up 24-15. They
outscored Roane in the
third quarter and had
no problem going on for
the win.
In
the
Roane
game, the Eagles made
16 of 23 free throw attempts. The Lady Raiders were 21 of 32 at the
line.
A 56-21 win over
Calhoun came on Jan.
12, with Phillips and
Sodaro once again leading the scoring—this
time with 11 points
each. Braxton jumped
out to a 33-8 lead by
halftime and secured
the win 23-13 in the
second half with a total
of 12 players getting on
the scoreboard.
On their home
court, the Gilmer Lady
Titans defeated Braxton
61-51. The Lady Eagles,
with a five-point second
Another win
for Lady
Knights’ JV
squad
After an even-scoring first quarter against
Walton, the Lady Knights’
jv team went on to win
22-8. Commenting on the
game,
Coach
Lori
Dittman said, “The girls
came away with a win
even though at times we
struggled to protect the
ball. The girls continue to
work hard and play ‘team”
ball.”
Scoring in the win
against Walton included
Logan Bragg 2, Jessica
Beckett 4, McKenze
Yanero 8, Braylee Woods
6, and Abby Liston 2.

girls will face Geary

games are at home.
period, were down by
ten at halftime and fifteen at the end of the
third period. Braxton
came on strong in the
fourth to score 26
points, but their opponents, already with a
big lead, scored 21
points in the fourth to
hold on to their lead.
The Titans went to line
19 times in the fourth
period and made 11 of
their shots. Overall,
Gilmer was 22 for 33
from the line. Braxton
was 11 for 21.
Sodaro, with 19
points, paced the Lady
Eagles. Also in double
figures, Montana Flint
added 11.
This week, Braxton
has two games. The
first, which Coach
Keith Greene called “a
really big game,” comes
as they face Clay’s Lady
Panthers at Clay Tuesday
night. They will host
Webster Thursday night.
