three of the petition and after consideration, Judge
Richard A. Facemire ordered that probation be revoked. Bryan Hinkle,
Veasey’s attorney, then
moved that the Court permit his client to be readmitted to probation. The
State requested the Court
impose the maximum sentence.
The Court found that
Veasey did not take advantage of the opportunities
granted him by probation
and that he is in need of
correctional treatment in
a correctional setting. The
Judge further stated that
probation would unduly
depreciate the seriousness of the offense and
that Veasey has a serious
addiction to controlled
substances and a lengthy
criminal record. After all
facts were considered
Judge Facemire denied
the request for probation
and ordered Veasey sentenced to the maximum
confinement in the Peni-
tentiary of not less than
one year nor more than
five years. Veasey was
awarded credit for time

McLaughlin objected and

ruled that Lay has a serious addiction to controlled
substances, no employment history, and had
failed to take responsibility for her actions in the
current matter. Furthermore Lay has tested positive for controlled substances on two occasions;
that she has failed to benefit from prior attempts at

the Braxton County
Commission at their
regular meeting last Friday, November 16. The
Braxton County Recreational Development Authority member told the
Commission that the four

stated that $11,800 remained from the grant.
He presented the Commission
quotes

totaled
$7,927.38. He requested
that the commission authorize the changes in
scope of the grant. He
added that the remaining
amount will be spent on
gravel for the road and
parking area. Terry
Frame made a motion to
approve the request.
It was also Frame
who introduced action to

to the arrest of one and
the hospitalization of the

and was last seen running down the alley behind the Elk Theater.
State Police and Braxton

were informed that the
victim was at the

Students completing
all four welding classes at
Braxton County High
School can, and often do,
enter the work force immediately after graduation.
Instructor Ed DeGarmo,
mentioned some of his
former students who are
working for companies
“like Bicon” with wages
beginning “around $25 an
hour.” Currently, 97 students are enrolled in welding classes at the high
school.
Progression is important in welding. Freshmen
begin with Welding I, Introduction to Craft Skills.
Here they start with the
very basics. DeGarmo explained, “One of the very
first things these kids
learn deals with their gear.
First they learn to inspect
their safety gear—their
gloves, goggles, welding
mask. Next, they learn to
put it on and take it off, all
basic.”
A next step is learning safe-lifting. Then come
“setting up an extension
ladder” and “learning the
three-point contact on using ladders.” DeGarmo
noted that he realizes all
of this “sounds really basic” but commented,
“You’d be surprised how
many students don’t understand the safe way to
use a ladder.”
After this, students
learn to operate a hand
drill, a skill saw, and a reciprocating saw. Asked
why welders might need to
acquire these skills, he
said, “If these young men
and women work for a
regular (non-union) business, they may have to do
all kinds of jobs.” He continued, “For example, if
they are welding on some
of the state jobs, they may
have to build platforms.
On other jobs, they may
have to box-up equipment
or build scaffolding to
reach the area where they
will be welding. Of course,
if they are working on a
union job, all they’ll do is
weld.”
In addition to these
basics, students learn
math skills, especially
working with decimals.
“Welders have to calculate
how much steel to use.
They also need to find the
exact center of a piece of
metal, or they may need to
make a certain-size circle
or space cutting holes. All
of these require math
skills,” DeGarmo explained.
Still in Welding I
comes actual welding—

to as Shielded Metal Arc
Welding. “This is basic

As I
See It
From
our
readers
By Ed Given
Disturbing…
I watched the development this week in relation to the firing of Dr. Jorea Marple as State Superintendent of Schools. Two things, about what has
been reported disturb me. First, I think that Dr.
Marple was doing a good job. I have heard nothing
negative about her leadership and everything
seemed to be headed in a positive direction. The
thought that her dismissal was a political maneuver
of some type infuriates me. I have long stated that
politics has no place in education or emergency
services. I stand behind that belief. But, I realize it
would be naïve of me to think that politics could be
completely eliminated from either.
The more I learn about the circumstances, the
worse it looks for the State Board of Education. They
have repeatedly stated that they want to restore
confidence in the system. How can they possibly
achieve such a goal when they blatantly ignore the
state law pertaining to open meetings. The law is
clear; it stated that a body such as a board of
education cannot act on any item that is not on
their agenda. Laws also prohibit, adding such an
item as firing the person in charge, to the agenda
during the meeting.
Something should be done to hold the State
Board of Education accountable. They will never
have the public’s confidence if they continue to
operate behind closed doors and ignore state law
when it is inconvenient. This strengthens my belief
that stronger penalties need to be implemented
when pubic officials betray the citizens. In addition,
there needs to be an alternative to a citizen having
to spend money out of their own pocket to hold
these officials accountable. Obviously, as is apparent in this latest case, the officials are not going to
police themselves.
This is the second time in recent months that
state officials have ignored state law. The first was
the Secretary of State failing to run the proper legal
notice concerning the constitutional amendment
regarding Sheriffs’ two term limits. Nothing was
done then and unfortunately, I doubt anything will
be done with the State Board of Education. I think
the State Board members could use a refresher
course on the State’s Open Meetings Law.
Wear the colors…
I watched a good football game Saturday night.
Of course if you are a Mountaineer fan, the outcome
wasn’t exactly what we were hoping for. I follow the
team quite a bit, at least during football and basketball season. Like many other fans, I didn’t particularly like what occurred when Dana Holgerson first
took over as head coach. With that said, he appears
to be an excellent coach.
There is one thing about Holgerson that I hate.
What school is he coaching? Certainly the
Mountaineer’s colors are not black and white, so I’m
at a loss. This man is making millions of dollars from
West Virginia University, why can’t he dress in the
loyal blue and gold? Every interview I see he is
wearing colors that obviously don’t belong to our
beloved school. I think it is disrespectful of him and
an insult to the school and our state. I believe
Oliver Luck is in error by not insisting that he do
away with his black and white attire. I believe that
if the head football coach, representing such a
distinguished institution as WVU can’t wear blue
and gold… well maybe we should find someone who
is not ashamed of our colors.

News from
our Capitol
by Delegate Brent Boggs
This is Thanksgiving week
and I’m looking forward to a few
days with family and friends,
hunting and enjoying the
grandkids. Barring last minute
glitches, the entire family will
be home for Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile, I’m heading to the
farm with Justin for the first
couple days of hunting.
I love hunting and the
outdoors, but spending time
with family during the season is
better than any vacation I can
imagine. Like all Americans, I
am so thankful for all the
blessings that God has bestowed upon our nation.
Thanksgiving is the truly
American holiday, instituted by
the father of our State, President Abraham Lincoln in 1863,
setting aside the last Thursday
of November as a national Day
of Thanksgiving. Over the next
seventy-five years, Presidents
followed Lincoln’s precedent,
annually declaring a national
Thanksgiving Day. Then, in
1941, Congress permanently
established the fourth Thursday
of each November as a national
holiday.
If the number of campers,
pickups and trailers hauling
ATV’s on the road last week-
end is any indication of the
number of hunters planning to
be afield on opening day, this
will be another banner year for
the state economy. The twoweek buck firearm hunting
season means over $200
million to our retailers, restaurants and businesses. With
weather predictions favorable
for opening week, this could be
an extremely high deer harvest for 2012.
Also, successful hunters
should remember the Hunters
Helping the Hungry program.
As noted on the DNR website:
Generous hunters are
donating deer to the Hunters
Helping the Hungry (HHH)
Program, providing thousands of
pounds of venison to needy
families across the state.
The 2011 season marks
the 20th consecutive year that
the Division of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources
Section (WVDNR) has sponsored
the HHH Program. Since the
start of the program, generous
hunters and financial contributors have enabled the processing of 20,184 deer. That has
allowed 769,582 pounds of
highly nutritious meat to be
made available to needy fami-
cure.
My exercise classes, three
times a week and my writers class
once a week keeps me occupied.
Going to meal time, walking the
length of a football fields 3 times a
day is good for me.

lies and individuals throughout
West Virginia.
Hunters participating in
the program take their deer to
certified meat processors
where it is turned into twopound packages of ground
venison. The Mountaineer Food
Bank (Gassaway) and the
Huntington Area Food Bank,
both members of Feeding
America, collect the venison
and then distribute it to the
needy through their network of
qualified charitable food
pantries, soup kitchens, senior
centers, shelters, community
centers, orphanages, missions,
and churches statewide.
Financial support for the HHH
comes from concerned individuals, businesses, conservation organizations, foundations
and churches.
Since the program’s
beginning, nearly 1,100,000
venison meals have been
provided by Hunters Helping
the Hungry to needy West
Virginians. That is a phenomenal statistic that highlights the
importance of this program and
generosity of our hunters. For a
listing of designated venison
processors participating in the
HHH program, check out the
DNR website at:

Also, don’t forget that you
can also donate financially to
HHH when you purchase your
2013 hunting and fishing
license. The funds help offset
fuel, transportation and processing costs for the program.
Most of all, stay safe while
medical care? I am
beginning to think that
we do. As the economy
continues to struggle,
there are folks out there
looking for ways to make
extra money. The automobile repair industry is
no exception. I have
learned that lesson the
hard way after having
taken an automobile I
had purchased to a local
repair shop run by what
I believed to be a good
friend, and a very knowledgeable mechanic. In
the end, the catalytic
converter was illegally
removed from my vehicle,
and I was charged for
new parts that were not
installed on the vehicle,
as well as for work
improperly performed.
As a result of all of
this, I was put in the
position of having to file
a court action in order to
attempt to recover for
the damages to my car.
Although the court did a
very good job with the
information it had to
work with, it was not a
pleasant experience even
though I was awarded a
judgment against the
mechanic. Now, I will
have the additional
burden of having to take
action to collect on the
judgment if the mechanic
does not timely pay it as
ordered by the court.
Bottom line folks,
protect yourselves by
requesting written
estimates for all repair
work to be performed,
requiring receipts for all
amounts paid for parts
(this will help you if the
parts have a warranty
with them), and never
hesitate to seek another
opinion on repair recommendations if you have
any doubts. It pays to
get a second opinion no
matter what type of
repair work you need
done, autos, home
repairs, appliance repairs, etc. Doing computer research on your
particular repair needs
can also be very beneficial in learning what
questions to ask, and
what some of the known
pitfalls may be.

Braxton County, WV
COURT
continued from page 1
hearing held on November
13. Prosecuting Attorney
Kelly Hamon McLaughlin
represented the state.
Gentilozzi asked the Court
that the sentencing be
moved to permit Jenkins to
enter a substance abuse
program. McLaughlin
stood silent pursuant to
the plea agreement. The
Court addressed the fact
that Jenkins has an extensive criminal record, two
prior felony convictions,
tested positive for controlled substances during
prior proceedings before
this Court. Jenkins has a
history of drug addiction
and failed to avail himself
of prior opportunities at
probation, The Court believes that there is a substantial likelihood that he
would violate the terms
and conditions if probation
was granted. Therefore on
those grounds, the Court
ordered that Jenkins be
confined to a state penitentiary for not less than
one year nor more than
five years for the felony
offense of possession of a
controlled substance with
the intent to deliver (methamphetamine). The Court
added that Jenkins will be
awarded credit for time
served, being 54 days at
Central Regional Jail,
against the maximum
term. Jenkins was remanded to the Commissioner of Corrections to be
transferred to CRJ pending the transfer to the
State penitentiary. The
Court further ordered that
should a long-term facility
be located and Jenkins
accepted to the same, the
Court would consider suspending the sentence imposed so that he may attend the program. And
should Jenkins complete
said abuse rehabilitation
program, the Court would
take a motion to reconsider under advisement.
Daniel Grindo, representing John G. Carroll
came before the Court
along with prosecuting attorney Kelly Hamon
McLaughlin to present a
plea agreement. Carrol
will plead guilty to the misdemeanor offenses of assault on a police officer,
punishable by confinement in jail for not less
than 24 hours nor more
than six months , fined not
more than $200 or both;
and assault on an emergency personnel, punishable by confinement in jail
for not less than 24 hours
nor more than six months
, fined not more than $200
or both. In addition the
State agrees to recommend
incarceration in Central
Regional Jail for a period
of 30 days and has no objection to Carroll serving
said period of time on
weekends. Carroll then
pled guilty to both
charges, the court asked
Prosecuting Attorney
McLaughlin as to the factual basis for the charge to
which she advised the
Court of the proof. Carroll
denied the factual basis for
the charge. The Court
found that it should be
treated as a Kennedy plea
as Carroll had not admitted the factual basis and
the Court accepted the
plea agreement and adjudged that Carroll is
guilty of both charges. The
Court moved to delay the
sentence for the purpose of
pre-sentence investigation. Sentencing for this
matter is set for December
10.
Prosecuting Attorney
McLaughlin and the defendant in the matter Jennifer Lynn Harrison along
with her attorney Bernard
Mauser came before the
Court to enter a plea.
Harrison agreed to plead
guilty to the misdemeanor
charge of possession of a
controlled substance
(methamphetamine) punishable by confinement in
jail for not less than 90
days nor more than six
months. The state agrees
to dismiss Circuit Court
case 12-4-47 and stand silent at the initial sentencing. After reviewing all the
facts related to the matter
the Court accepted said
plea agreement and
moved to delay sentencing
for the purpose of a presentence investigation.
The Court further ordered
that sentencing is set for
December 10 and Harrison
will be held on a $5,000
bond and as an additional
term of the plea agreement
and bond Harrison shall be
admitted to home-confinement pending sentencing
in this matter.
Michael
Wayne
Harrison, his attorney
Clinton Bischoff and Prosecuting
Attorney
McLaughlin came before
the Court to present the
plea agreement that had
been reached by the parties. Harrison will plead
guilty to the felony offense
of operating or attempting
to operate a clandestine
drug laboratory, punishable by imprisonment in a

types of metal, and how to
set amperages,” he added.
In Welding II, students learn w i r e - f e e d
welding, in which they
use a welder—”a square
electric box that creates
an arc to mold two pieces
of metal,” which is “good
for stick welding, wirefeed welding, and tungsten welding.” In this
class, students also work
with carbon arc gouging,
which, “is a process in
which the welder uses
carbon rods to remove
bad welds so they can be
replaced.”
A class involving “60
percent hands-on” learning, Welding III includes
learning to use gas
torches to weld. It is also
here that students learn
to “run a welding bead.”
The other 40 percent of
class time involves “indepth instruction to prepare students to earn the
NCCER
certificate.”
DeGarmo explained,
“Students may be able to
weld, but they need indepth knowledge on the
process and what a good
weld looks like.” Also in
this class students learn
to use the plasma-arcweld machine, “a machine used to cut metal.”
Currently the class’s machine is “under repair,”
but DeGarmo said that
he and his students “will
be getting a new one
soon.”
The teacher also described the work of a computer generator, “which
allows you to design and
then have the computer
do the cutting.” He mentioned that this type of
work can be used “for ornamental things,” but
added that a large company “will have a really
big unit” to cut parts for
manufacturers such as
John Deere.
Asked whether students, after finishing just
three years of welding,
can find jobs in the field,
DeGarmo answered, “Yes.
Those who don’t go beyond Welding III can get
jobs as welding helpers.
Here, they would carry
pieces of metal, cut metal
parts, or field rods to the
welders.” He also noted
that welders who hire
these individuals “can put
them through a six-totwelve months’ training
period; then they can begin welding.”
Nineteen students
currently study advanced
welding procedures in
Welding IV. Here they
learn stainless steel and
aluminum welding using
the
TIG
method.
DeGarmo explained that
welding in this field can
be found in many different areas. “”A lot of truck
beds are aluminum,” he
said, “and utility trailers
have aluminum.” Continuing, he talked about
the range from “aluminum racks in ovens” to
“aluminum frames for
motorcycles” and the use
of stainless steel for “coal
generation stations for
power companies.” He
also mentioned that
Weyerhaeuser needs
welders “for their hydraulic piping in their highpressured steam systems.”
Then there is
Pratt Whitney, manufacturers of aircraft, in the
Bridgeport-Clarksburg
area.

IV that students may take
to take the test to be certified welders. “They can
still get jobs without being certified, but it is definitely best for them to
pass the certification
test. They’ll definitely be
able to get good jobs.”
DeGarmo said. He hopes
all nineteen of his seniors
will become certified.
DeGarmo also reported that, on Dec.1, he
“will have an interview
with Keith James of the
State Department.” He
explained, “I am already
a certified welder, but if
Mr. James certifies the
school, then I’ll be able to
certify our kids.” He
added, “That will be a big
advantage.”
Another advantage
H
which DeGarmo feels his
students have is help
from Jeff Wilson, superintendent of Bicon.
DeGarmo said that Wilson often visits his
classes and takes notes of
what the students learn.
“We can also learn from
him what companies
such as his want in welders,” DeGarmo noted,
adding, “It’s kind of a
partnership, and it works
well for us.”
One current senior,
Frankie Steiner, has already decided that he
wants to work for PrattWhitney. Steiner, whom
DeGarmo calls “a really
skilled welder,” maintains that, after four
years of welding classes,
he “definitely feel[s] com-

Do you consider heart
disease as ‘my father’s disease’? Cardiovascular disease is the leading killer of
women over the age of 25.
Women do not always experience the type of pain
that men do and so are
more likely to die of a
heart attack than men.
The latest figures state
that 420,000 women died
in one year from heart attacks while 40,000 died
from breast cancer. That
same year 390,000 men
died from heart attacks.
The major factors in
women with heart disease
are smoking and obesity.
Some of the signs that you
might be having a heart
attack are the same for
men and women. Those
signs are chest pain, shortness of breath with exertion, nausea, sudden
sweating and jaw pain.
Warning signs for women
in addition to the previous
signs mentioned are significant fatigue (disproportionate to the activity level
you are engaged in), obvious decrease in functional
capacity (you are not able
to do things you used to do),
lightheadedness or weakness. If you experience any
of these signs you should
consult your physician immediately or call 911.
Research from Johns
Hopkins states that if you
want a good nights sleep
then loose some weight.
Improved sleep patterns
were experienced by those
who lost weight through
diet as well as those who
combined a healthy diet
with exercise. Good sleep
is important for good overall health according to scientists from Johns
Hopkins. Before dieting or
exercising consult with
your physician.
Cheerleaders used to
worry about laryngitis but
this full-on competitive
sport has evolved with injuries to match needing
the same care as quarterbacks and pitchers.
Cheerleading injuries include sprains, strains,
head injuries, neck injuries and other catastrophic injuries which
can lead to permanent
brain injury, paralysis or
death. Most serious inju-
ries occur while performing stunts. Emergency
plans should be developed
along with high levels of
coaching, injury surveillance and medical care as
other sport programs. If
your child is involved as a
cheerleader, check with
their coach about proper
procedures and plans.
One of the new bywords in the world of dieting is ‘un-dieting’. If you
are diet fatigued then
there are some steps to
un-diet: stop yo-yo dieting,
make one dietary change
a week, keep a food journal, skip low sugar/fat
products, avoid cartoon
character foods, check the
facts on the labels, use olive oil, look for whole
grains, eat meat wisely
and drink to hydrate not
for calories.
As you think about
un-dieting we want to
wish you a Happy Thanksgiving.

medical appointments,
and help meeting other
basic needs. Now that responsibility is falling on
Janice and it is creating a
hardship.
Many of those on the
waiting list are terminal
and are now being forced
into nursing homes. Lois
King from Richwood has
entered the nursing home
because she is unable to
get the assistance necessary for her to stay in her
home. Lois has a daughter named Betsy that
works and needs assistance during the hours she
works to ensure her
mother’s safety. “We need
help now”. Betsy will be
completing a U.S. Department of Justice Discrimination Complaint Form as
she feels her mother’s
rights have been violated.
“My mother has the right
to choose whether or not
she wants to remain in her
own home. I know of another elderly couple who
are facing the same situation. The lady fell and
broke her hip while at
home because she had no
one to help her. After coming home from the hospital, she fell again and rebroke her hip. If she would
have had help in the
home, maybe this could
have been prevented. West
Virginia Seniors deserve
better treatment than
this.”
While some seniors
have strong family advo-
cates, many on the waiting list are left to care for
themselves with little to no
informal support. Linda
Dean from Sutton is in desperate need of services.
She needs assistance with
many activities of daily living and transportation to
medical appointments.
Unfortunately, all of her
family lives out of town and
cannot assist with those
needs. Linda said that the
waiting list is “just terrible.
I have to depend on neighbors to help me when they
can because I have no
family that lives close to
me. I firmly believe that
they need to let loose of the
money to help us.” Linda
even
contacted
the
Governor’s Office yesterday to plead for help. “Due
to my health problems, I
can’t even get my groceries. “ She is hoping for
some relief soon and that
the Governor’s office will
realize that West Virginia
Seniors need help.
All family members
and those concerned with
how seniors are being
treated are encouraged to
contact the Governor’s office today at (304)5582000 and ask that they lift
the freeze on the Medicaid
Waiver program. Concerned residents may also
contact their local representatives and let them
know that a change needs
to be made. “We must take
a stand to protect our frail
and dying seniors.”
Editors’ Note: Due to
a production error, the end
of a lead story titled “Elderly suffer due to stoppage
of Medicaid Waiver Program” was omitted. We are
reprinting it here in its entirety. We apologize for the
inconvenience.
On December 5, 2011
a freeze was placed on the
Medicaid Waiver program
which assists the aged and
disabled population. Unfortunately, that freeze
still exists today and there
are now over 1,000 seniors
on a waiting list who are
in desperate need of services. Family members of
those on the waiting list
are also suffering.
Janice Ratliff from
Glenville is working two
jobs and still trying to take
care of her mother
Pauline. She says “It’s
tough sometimes” and
“hard to juggle work and
family responsibilities”.
Her mother Pauline has
been on the waiting list for
several months. Janice is
outraged that there are
carryover funds in the program that could open up
the waiting list and help
her mother. “These people
need help” she stated. If
the freeze were lifted,
Janice would be able to go
to work knowing her
mother was being cared
for. She would also be able
to have assistance with

Thanks
for helping
us weather
the storm.
Hurricane Sandy was one of the largest storms ever to strike our region.
The storm left widespread destruction in its wake, knocking out power to more than
200,000 of our customers.
Crews worked around the clock under difficult conditions to restore service as
quickly as possible. They cleared debris and made repairs at thousands of locations —
replacing about 1,200 poles, almost 830 transformers and more than 270 miles
of wire.
But it’s possible there may be some damaged power lines that we’re not yet aware
of — like those supplying hunting camps. With the start of deer hunting season,
we encourage you to use extra caution in case you encounter any downed lines.
Never touch or attempt to move a damaged power line. Please call 1-888-LIGHTS
(1-888-544-4877) to report any downed wires or power outages.
We’d like to thank our customers for your patience and understanding. Your sense
of community helped all of us weather the storm.

TRUTH OR TRADITION?
Chrisan Worship #2
Four Requirements. Man has always been a
worshipper of God, but through the years most of
man’s worship has been unacceptable unto God. The
way that leads to life is narrow, and few find it (Matt.
7:13-14). In His conversation with the woman at the
well, Jesus spoke of four requirements for worship to
be pleasing and acceptable unto God.
The Right Place – The Human Heart. Worship
is not limited by time nor space. “The hour cometh,
when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at
Jerusalem, worship the Father” (John 4:21). Worship
involves expressing love and praise unto God, and
that takes place in the heart. “Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart” (Matt. 22:37). Much
worship designed by man is limited by space. You’ve
got to be in a certain building, before a cross, or some
idol before you can worship, but Christian worship is
not so limited. The eunuch worshipped in a chariot,
Peter on a housetop, Lydia on a riverbank, Paul &
Silas in a prison cell, and John in exile on an island.
“Home is where the heart is.” The same is true of
worship…where the heart is.
The Right Object – God and Christ. Much worship is unacceptable because it is not directed unto
God. “Ye worship ye know not what…God is a Spirit:
and they that worship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth” (John 4:22, 24). those who worship nature, science, philosophy, or other idols, do not know
God. Israel worshipped a golden calf, the Ephesians
the goddess Diana, and the Athenians an unknown
god. All was unacceptable because that was the wrong
object. Worship, to be pleasing and acceptable, must
be directed toward God. “Thou shalt worship the Lord
thy God, and him only shalt thou serve” Matt. 4:10).
The Right Attitude – In Spirit. Much worship
is not pleasing to God because of the attitude of the
worshipper. “God is a Spirit: and they that worship
him must worship him in spirit…” (John 4:24). Jesus
rebuked the scribes and Pharisees for their arrogance
and hypocrisy…the wrong attitude. The worship of
the proud Pharisee was unacceptable, as opposed to
the worship of the humble publican (Luke 18:9-14).
Worship is an activity of the spirit within, and must
stem from the right attitude. It must be sincere, from
the heart, with love and enthusiasm.
The Right Method - In Truth. For worship to
be pleasing and acceptable unto God, it must be performed according to His instructions. “God is a Spirit:
and they that worship him must worship him in spirit
and in truth” (John 4:24). In regard to the people of
His day, Jesus said: “But in vain they do worship me,
teaching for doctrines the commandments of men”
(Matt. 15:9). They worshipped according to their own
plan, not God’s. Paul rebuked the church in Corinth
for their abuse of the Lord’s Supper (1 Cor. 11:1730). For worship to be pleasing unto God it must be
“in truth”. How arrogant for man (the created) to
imagine he can design a better plan of worship than
God (the Creator)!

Hello, Everyone!
I
h o p e
that all of
you have
enjoyed
t h i s
beautiful
weekend. The sun sure
felt wonderful!!
Wasn’t that a heartbreaking loss to Oklahoma? I was up pacing
the floor. I couldn’t
watch. Then I couldn’t
believe the play called
in the last 2 seconds
of the game!!! Come
on!! Why in the world
would you try to run the
ball? That is two weeks
in a row that I thought
the plays called in the
last few minutes were
ridiculous. I didn’t even
bother with Holgerson’s
post game interview this
week. I am sure I would
hear the same old thing.
I will never stop being a
fan of the old gold and
blue but gosh I hate
losing like that!!! The
defense looked much
better and I think in
general they played very
well. This was all on
the coaches for sure.
Anyway, there is always
next week! Let’s Gooo
Mountaineers!
There has been
much debate over the
Black Friday shopping
beginning at many retailers on Thanksgiving
evening. I have listened to both sides and
must say I understand
both arguments. In this
economy, retailers need
to get shoppers into
their stores as soon as
possible. On the other
hand, Thanksgiving is a
day to be thankful not to
be out knocking someone over for the hottest
toy on the market. I
have never understood
the craze about Black
Friday shopping from
a consumer’s stand
point. I have only gone
one time and that was
enough for me. There
is no toy or item that I
need so desperately as

there and teasingly they

to the snow storms here

I was in the ER, having
FRAME
to subject myself to that
kind of rudeness and
stress. I mean, is it really worth it? Not to me
it isn’t. I would much
rather shop online in
the comfort of my home

but to each his own. I
have also read that WalMart is fighting back
against their workers
who plan to strike on
Black Friday, by filing
a suit against a federal
agency accusing the labor union of unlawfully
organizing picket lines,
flash mobs and other
demonstrations. Good

It is very difficult to type
with a broken arm so I
am going to include here
some memories of growing up in Burnsville that
was written by Sonny. I
am sure his thoughts will
bring back memories of
your own. Have a happy
Thanksgiving, everyone,
and remember that I Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In
everything [notice, it says
“in”, not for] give thanks,
for this is the will of God
in Christ Jesus concerning you.” So, because of
my broken right arm, I am
giving thanks because I
can send you the following
without feeling guilty for
not writing something myself. I hope you enjoy it.
“I was watching a
movie some years ago,
maybe something like ‘Little House on the Prairie,’
and saw a lady who was
supposed to be churning
milk using the old-fashion
churns many of us used.
You remember, the heavy
tall pot with a lid with a
hole in it with the broomlike handle . Anyway, she
was slowly moving the
handle up and down. As
many of us know, she
would still be churning at
that rate. Reminds me of
a fellow walking past our
garden in Morgantown
who asked what kind of
seeds do you plant to
grow potatoes, or the dear
friend who planted lettuce seed and none came
up. On questioning, he
indicated he had planted
them about 6 inches deep!
Oh, how much has been
forgotten!
“How many remember the swinging bridges?
I am glad some are still
found in Burnsville. Not
only were they handy for
crossing the river, it was
wonderful fun to introduce them to newcomers.
You waited until they were
about half-way across
than threw your weight
from one side to the other
to get it really swinging.
Their fright was obvious
as was their relief once
they reached the other
side. I doubt this was a
safe thing to do, but at
those young ages we were
going to live forever, right?

Happy 47th anniversary to
Harry & Barbara Harvey
for November 23. Happy
Thanksgiving to Pastor Jim
Burrough at the Burnsville
United Methodist Church,
Harry and Barbara Harvey
of the Napier United Methodist Church, and my family that lives in New Jersey
and West Virginia.
Flash from the Past:
I’m sharing a little history
from a book that Butch
recently read entitled “The
Life and Death of a Rural
American High School”.
The first successful attempts to find oil and gas
in the county was when a
small Gordon Sand oil well
was completed in 1895
on Wilson heirs farm on
Longshoal Run in Salt Lick
District; and two light gassers from the same zone
on the Robinette farm on
the Left Fork of Oil Creek
northeast of Burnsville.
Four or five years later,
two or three light Gordon
Sand gas producers were
drilled on Hyre’s Run two
miles west of Burnsville.
A gas main was built from
these wells to Sutton in
the fall of 1902, which was
the only supply of gas Sutton, Gassaway, Flatwoods,
Burnsville, and immediate
towns had for over twenty
years, at which time the
Hope Natural Gas Company absorbed the local
company. By 1941, two
hundred petroleum and
natural gas wells had been

PAT’S CHAT
Burnsville raised chickens
when I was young. They
furnished our chicken
dinners and eggs. The
eggs were a medium of
exchange; we’d take them
to the store to buy other
necessities. One thing that
was forbidden, to let the
chickens get out and get
into the vegetable garden.
They would pick on the
tomatoes and other vegetables causing real damage.
Also, we remember that
some roosters got pretty
aggressive, especially if
you turned your back to
them. When my brother,
Sammy, was very young,
he left the chicken house
door open, and the flock
headed for the garden. My
dad questioned him about
this transgression, ‘Sammy, why didn’t you close
the chicken house door?’
‘I couldn’t, the rooster got
after me and I was running
too fast,’ Sammy replied.
Oh yes, I remember that
a hen had been hit with a
rock at some friends house
and had brain damage and
acted like a rooster ever

after that!
“Milk was delivered
in Burnsville in my generation in glass milk bottles.
Betty knew some young
fellows were helping themselves to milk delivered
to her front door. Sitting
behind them in a movie one time, she said to
nearby friend, making it
loud enough for them to
hear, ‘Mr. Wade has been
giving us milk to feed our
cats since it has blood in
it.’ The boys turned kind of
green and never bothered
her milk again.
“The Means family lived across the river
from the McNemar house
near the swinging bridge
up Stringtown, a suburb
of Burnsville. They had
a parrot who would greet
folks walking by. After
hearing, ‘Hello, hello, how
are you?’ some would call
out, ’Mrs. Means, is that
you or that crazy parrot?’
Dr. Means, who really was
not a doctor but a selftaught veterinarian, if I
remember correctly, drove
one of the few cars in those
days. He probably held the
record as the world’s slowest driver. You could pass
him up when walking.
“I remember when
the first cars came out
without a place to put
the crank in to get them
started. (You had to be
careful doing that as you
could get a broken wrist
when the crank sometimes
kicked back!) Bob Singleton and I just knew it was
a terrible flaw not having a
place to crank. Guess we
were proven wrong on that
prophecy.
“Kids, often with no
adults, would plan weenie
roasts when I was a young.
We would get weenies and
marshmallows and head
for the flat on Wade’s hill.
Cut green sticks were
sharpened to supply all
the equipment needed,
and soon wood fire would
be furnishing the heat and
light we needed after dark.
And it was after dark that
ghost stories were generally told, steviethe beauty
of the stars and moon were
appreciated, and some
games of hide and seek
were played. Some gossip
was exchanged, of course.
What I wouldn’t give to
recapture the fun we had!
“I notice a lot of
homes these days have
front porches, some even
have chairs on the porch,
but I almost never see
anyone using them. The
front porch at my home in
Burnsville was the place
we all gathered when I
was young. We’d greet
folks walking by, and
many would come up and
join us. We’d hear the
frogs croaking, the insect
sounds of the evening,
hear the rooster crowing
and cattle lowing. Front
porch swings were where
we took the required nap
before going swimming,
while Mom sang ‘Two Little
Orphans,’ ‘Can I Sleep in
Your Barn Tonight Mister,’
‘When the Work is Done
Next Fall,’ and many others. It was the social center
of our house in those preTV days.
“Oh, yes, there were
our old swimming holes in
or near Burnsville, called
‘Benders’ and other names!
Kids made the equipment,
usually consisting of a
swing made out of discarded strong cables, with a
pipe attachment to hold
onto, and a diving board,
often not as securely fastened to the bank with big
rocks as would meet any
safety standards today. In
the summer, we migrated
to the swimming hole,
with parents along when
we were very young. Some
kids became very good
divers, Kermit Mick for
instance, and that is not
easy to learn off a swing.
When there were only fellows, sometimes the drag
of swimming trunks was
not a problem.”

Reporting Braxton County’s sports action
Lady Eagles loaded with experience
“We definitely have
a senior-dominated
team, and five of our
six seniors bring three
years of varsity experience,” Keith Greene,
head coach of the highschool girls’ varsity
squad, commented.
“These five girls---Taylor Bragg, Anne Golinsky, Baylee Stewart,
Hunter Sodaro, and
Caitlin Rhodes—have
all been playing varsity
since they were fresh-
men,” he added.
Greene said that
most of his players
took advantage of the
three-week window
this past summer.
“We played more than
twenty games during
that time,” he commented. “In addition,”
he noted, “Golinsky,
Sodaro, and Logan
Frame—a sophomore
varsity player, all kept
up individual workouts
all summer.” Continuing, Greene said, “This
varsity team, for which
we plan to dress 14,
consists of aggressive,
enthusiastic players.”
The coach indicated
that his squad “will
have several weapons,”
and he looks “to be
able to score inside
and out.” Hoping the
defense will be strong,
he and the girls have
as one of their goals,
“holding teams to no
more than 40 points a
game while scoring at
least 60.”
They also “hope
to compete for a state
championship,” and
Greene maintains, “We
have a chance to do
just that if the girls conBraxton County High School Lady Eagles front row (left to right) Logan Frame, trol their attitudes and

of the 25th Annual Coal
Area “Original” Toughman Contest. The boxing
contest took place Friday,
November 9th, and Saturday, November 10th,
at the Logan High School
Field House in Logan, WV.
Steiner, age 23, com-
Jared Steiner
peted against 28 heavyweight contenders for a
chance to win the title.
Friday night proved victorious for Steiner; he
scored a technical knockout (TKO) against his opponent in 26 seconds.
This win advanced Steiner
to the second round of the
contest, which took place
the next evening.
Eventually, Steiner
earned his spot in the
championship fight after
defeating two more opponents. During the final
match, Steiner out-boxed
his opponent, Matt Hizer
of Foster, WV, for the win.
Following the fight, Steiner was awarded with an official “Toughman Jacket”
and a $1,000 check.
Steiner, a 2007 Braxton County High School
graduate, excelled in academics and sports, such
as football and wrestling,
during his high school
career. Today, he resides
in Elkview, WV, with his
wife, Ashli, and son, Blair.
Steiner is imployed by
AEP (American Electric

season, Coach Greene
noted that his team
will be facing Fairmont
Senior and Robert C.
Byrd for the first time.
“Both may be pretty
tough,” he said, “and
of course Lincoln is
always tough.” He added, “Then we always
have the two games
against Clay---those
are probably our most
exciting games because
we never know what
will happen.”
A sixth senior on
the squad, Kassi Cruz,
is in her second year
of high-school basketball, and Coach Greene
is looking forward to
her contributions. The
varsity includes only
one junior, Jasmine
Valdivieso, along with
three sophomores-Frame, Emily Harper,
and Alyssa Riffle.
Greene plans to
dress four of the junior varsity players—
all freshmen---for each
game.
“We may switch
the four who will play
both ways,” he said,
“depending on who
is playing well at the
time.”
The junior varsity
includes 11 players,
whose coach is Jerry Frame. “The girls
have a lot of hustle;
they really get after
the ball,” Frame said
of his squad. “I think
we have a good group
of freshmen girls who
really want to play.
They’re very young, of
course, since they are
all freshmen, but they
are all really scrappy,”
he commented.
The junior varsity
squad includes Kassi
Adams, Jessica Beckett, Kristen Bleigh,
Makila Carr, Emily
Conley, Kate Golinsky,
Kayla Hurst, Tiara
Hunter, Laurel Lloyd,
Kelly Stout, and Rebecca Vigue.

Mercy-Mercy, Sake’s alive
We got us a man, celebrating Fifty-five
He came to Cleveland in the year of fifty seven.
Stopped to check out the plant they called Chevrolet.
He arrived round the end of May. Told the man “I
want a job. I can start right away.” The man said
“hold on now boy not so fast. I want to give you a
job, one that will last.” He came back the next day,
with his hat in his hand, and said “Gimme that job,
I’m your man.” He set quite a record here at the
Chevy Parma. Hired in department 91. Stayed in
this same department. Fifty
five years General Motors
has been good to ol’ CR,
whatever they say. Let’s
have a party. Let’s do it my
way. No presents. No
toy’s. Just a big ol’ smile
from my friends. Brings
CR joy.
November 20, 1939 – June 14, 2012
Thinking of you on your birthday,
With sadness in our hearts,
For a very special someone,
From whom we had to part.
We cannot send a Birthday card,
Your hand we cannot touch,
But God will take our greetings
To the one we love so much.
Put your arms around her Lord,
Don’t leave her on her own
For today is Mom’s birthday,
Her first away from home.
Happy Birthday Mom. We love you
dearly and miss you.

Dear Santa,
My name is Sam although the people here
call me Tiny. I have tried
to be a good dog this year,
but things just haven't
been working out.
I had a family. They
bought me as a puppy
and they played with me
all the time. They bought
me toys and my own bed
and dish. We played ball
in the yard and sometimes
I slept in the people bed.
As I grew some they
complained that I ate too
much. I couldn't help it.

Stories from the Braxton
County Animal Shelter
I ate every bite they gave
me and my tummy was
still hungry. I was awful
excited to see them come
home but sometimes I
bothered them instead of
being cute.
I got bigger and bigger and I guess I wasn't
as good as before. I got
in trouble for chewing on
a shoe that smelled like
daddy. I just missed him
and my new teeth were
hurting as they came in
but that was really the
wrong thing to do. Then
they left me in the house
all day and I went potty on
the floor.
I just couldn't help it
Santa, I had to GO! I went
potty in the yard like a
good dog every time they
let me out, but sometimes
they forgot.
One day we took a
ride in the car! It was so
much fun! We stopped in
the country and I got out

and I ran and I ran! When
I got tired I turned around
to look for mommy and
daddy but they were gone.
The car was gone and I
was all alone.
I walked and walked
but I couldn't find them.
It got dark and it got cold
and I got very hungry.
I slept under the
bushes and woke up still
hungry and cold. After a
few days, I didn't look for
them anymore. I was so
hungry and scared, but
no one was looking for me.
Finally I saw a man.
He stopped by the side of
the road and tried to get
me to come to him. I was
scared, but I was so hungry. He offered me a treat
and I took it. He put me
in the car and we went for
another ride.
Now I am at what
they call the "Shelter". It's
very loud here, lots of dogs
are barking all the time.
The lights are bright
and it smells really funny.
But the good thing is there
is plenty of food and water.
I’ve got a blanket to sleep
on. For the first few days I
just slept and ate. It felt so
good to be warm and have
food in my tummy! I don't
get to get out of the cage
very much though.
The people here are
very kind. They speak to
me and call me "Buddy".
They said I won't be here
much longer.
They said I am a really good dog but so is
every other dog in the
shelter and there are just
too many. They said I'm
going to be "put to sleep"
if I don't get a home before Christmas. When I
wake up, will it be Christmas? Will I have a family? Santa, All I want for
Christmas is a home to
call forever

Braxton County, WV
WV firearm buck
season facts to know
The West Virginia
firearm buck gun season
is Nov. 19 – Dec. 1. It is
open in all counties except
Logan, Mingo, McDowell
and Wyoming.
Approximately
330,000 licensed hunters
will be in West Virginia’s
woods during this season.
Hunters should review the 2012 - 2013
Hunting and Trapping
Regulations Summary
for detailed instructions
concerning bag limits and
season dates.
The firearm antlered
deer bag limit during the
two-week buck season
is two (one on the base
license and one on an RG
[resident] or RRG [nonresident] stamp). A hunter
may take no more than
three antlered deer per
calendar year in all archery and firearms seasons combined.
There are 10 counties
or portions thereof (see
the 2012 – 2013 Hunting
and Trapping Regulations
Summary) that require
buck firearms hunters to
take an antlerless deer
during the antlerless firearms deer season (with
Class N permit for residents or Class NN permit
for nonresidents) prior to
harvesting a second antlered deer during the buck
firearms season.
All private and public
lands in counties having
a firearms antlerless deer
gun season (Class N for
residents and Class NN for
nonresidents) will be open
Nov. 19 – Dec. 1 (concurrent with the buck gun
season), Dec. 13 - 15, and
Dec. 28 – 31. Bag limits
vary among counties but
will be either one or three
antlerless deer. See regulations for details.
All deer must be field
tagged and checked in
within 72 hours of the
time of kill or within 24
hours of the close of the
season, whichever comes
first. Only one deer may
be taken per day during
the buck season.
Deer hunters spend
an estimated $230 million
in West Virginia, much of
it in the rural areas of the
state that depend upon
the deer seasons for a
large portion of their annual income.
In 2011, deer hunters in West Virginia harvested 60,157 bucks during the two-week buck
season, an increase of 38
percent from the 2010
harvest. This is two percent less than the five-year
average harvest of 61,428
and ranks 24th among
all past years. WVDNR
forecasts that the buck
harvest should be slightly
higher for 2012. The overall mast conditions should
be favorable. In addition,
DNR has been conducting
spotlight counts in many
counties and have observed many large-racked
animals for hunters to
pursue.
Hunters are required
to wear at least 400 square
inches of blaze orange
(about the size of a vest)
as an outer garment for
visibility and safety. Blaze
orange camouflage patterns are legal as long as
400 square inches of blaze
orange are displayed on
the garment. A blaze orange hat is not required,
but the hunter must have
blaze orange visible from
both the front and the
back. Hunting licenses
may be purchased online
at any time and printed
out on a home computer
printer. Go to the goWILD!
Web site at www.wvhunt.
com, fill out the application, and purchase it over
a secure server with a
credit card.
Hunters who wish to
donate deer meat or dollars to the Hunters Helping the Hungry program,
which distributes deer
meat through the Mountaineer Food Bank and the
Huntington Food Bank,
should call 304-558-2771
or visit the DNR website
at www.wvdnr.gov to find
a participating meat processor.
Glenville State College Choir
and Chamber Singers Holiday
Concert Scheduled for the 27th
The annual Glenville State College Choir
and Chamber Singers Holiday Concert is
scheduled for Tuesday,
November 27th at 7:00
p.m. at Sand Fork Baptist Church in Sand
Fork.
The evening will
feature Christmas carols written from the
17th century until the
20th century as well
as readings from students, faculty, and staff
including GSC President Dr. Peter Barr.
“This concert is
in the form of Lessons
and Carols, which was
made famous by King’s
College in Cambridge,
England. I want to give
our students many different experiences in
choral music, and this
one is from the long
tradition of wonderful
choral music in England. The church setting is important as
we are trying to do this
type of concert as close
to the original Lessons
and Carols as possible.
I encourage everyone
to come and experi-
ence a wonderful night
of Christmas music,
new and old,” said GSC
Choir Director Teresa
Dody.
This event is free
and open to the public.
Donations will be accepted to raise funds
for GSC students to
perform with the West
Virginia State Collegiate Honor Choir in
February in Charleston.

The holiday season
is upon us and it is a very
special opportunity to
celebrate the life of loved
ones. You can remember loved ones who have
passed away or honor
those living and those who
are suffering illnesses.
Hospice Care Corporation’s annual “Light up
a Life” event begins now
and continues through
December 31, 2012.
For the past 29 years,
Hospice Care has held its
”Light up a Life” annual
campaign to raise money
for the organization’s patient care services. Hospice Care of North Central
West Virginia is one of the
oldest non-profit hospice
organizations who provide
end-of-life care for people
who have life-limiting illnesses without the ability
to pay.
“Light up a Life is a
tradition and it’s also one
of our biggest fund raiser
of the year. By supporting
“Light up a Life,” you are
helping your families and
friends. “It is important
to know that 100% of the
money we raise stays here
in North Central West
Virginia,“ said Cynthia
Woodyard, Vice President
of Public Affairs and Access.
For a donation, individuals can place a light,
ornament or a special
keepsake angel on a tree
in any of the participating locations. Donations
are made in memory or
honor of a friend or loved
one. Everyone who is
remembered or honored
is entered into a memory
book, which is one display
throughout the season.
This year, the keepsake clay angel is holding
a star. Lights, ornaments
and the handmade keepsake angels are available
for participation. Lights
can be sponsored for $5,
ornaments for $ 20, and
the porcelain keepsake
angel is $35. All donations are tax deductible.
Ornaments will be
hung on the tree at the J
& B Drugstore in Grantsville on December 4th.
For more information about participating
with “Light up a Life”
please call toll-free at
1-800-350-1161 or Crystal Conney at the Burnsville Hospice Care office.
Or, you may visit our new
website at www.hospicecarecorp.org.
