GSC Theatre production
The first theatre production of the new school
year at Glenville State College will be the classic Neil
Simon comedy Brighton
Beach Memoirs. Performances will take place September 24, 25, and 26 in
the GSC Administration
Building Presidents Auditorium at 7:00 p.m. each
night.
“The play presents a
snapshot of life in an earlier time, and goes to show
that no matter how complicated things seem today,
the human experience of
living in a family is universal,” explains GSC Theatre
Director and GSC Professor
of Communications Dennis Wemm.
The story is set in the
Brighton Beach section of
Brooklyn, New York in
1937. The coming-of-age
comedy follows the life of
Eugene Jerome, a young
teenage Jewish boy, recalling his memoirs of his
time as an adolescent
youth. He lives with his
parents Kate and Jack, his
aunt Blanche, his two cousins Nora and Laurie, and
his brother Stanley, whom
he looks up to and admires.
He goes through the hardships of puberty, sexual fantasy, and living the life of a
poor boy in a crowded house.
Searching for his
identity, Eugene is being

A weekly photo of opinion in Braxton County...
sometimes good and sometimes not so good.
By Ed Given
A great weekend…
Jeanine and I slipped away last weekend. It
was time for what has become our annual trip to
Smith Mountain Lake for their annual Antique and
Classic Boat Society sanctioned Boat Show. Those
who read this column regularly know this trip is
something we both look forward to. I wrote earlier in
the year about a similar excursion to Mt. Dora,
Florida for the same type of event. It was fun, but
we were looking forward to returning to southern
Virginia. The Smith Mountain Chapter of the ACBS
is made up a great bunch of people whom we have
had the pleasure of getting to know over the now
nearly dozen trips we have made to their show.
The show is special to us for many reasons. It
is the first such event that I ever attended at the
invitation of Bill and Mary Hunt. Writing about that
first show led to us owning an ole wooden boat.
Smith Mountain was the first time we showed the
boat about eight or nine years ago. It won a prize as
best outboard on display that year and we were very
pleased.
This year was our “year of the little boats.” In
addition to our Palomino, Bill left the “big guns” at
home and Mary took her 14 foot Pen Yan. Karen
Swiney made it three with her 1967 Arkansas
Traveler. We let her come along even though her
boat is plastic.
Our boat has undergone much more work and I
believe improvements since that first visit to Virginia. The effort was rewarded with great reviews in
Florida.
When we arrived at the show area Friday
morning, we picked up our registration package as
usual. When we received ours for the little Palomino, I was told that it was one of a dozen, of the
forty-eight registered entries that had been chosen
to be showcased with demonstrations during the
show. I knew about the practice, because Bill had
been asked last year to do the same with his 1956
hemi powered Century.
The demo ride was lot of fun. I took a reporter
from the area with me, who shot video and took
pictures for stories he would be writing for newspapers in the area as well as web publishing.
The weather wasn’t the best but the show was
great and we had a blast. However, we were not
quite prepared for the highlight of the event. It
came at the awards ceremony. Our excitement
really turned up when Karen’s boat was given the
Hagerty Youth Award. Hagerty Insurance sponsors
the program where a group of young boat enthusiasts interview boat owners and select their own
winner. Karen was in shock when they announced
that “The Time Traveler” had been selected. We
were all excited for her. One of the last awards
given is sponsored by ACBS. It is considered by most
as the premiere awards of the show. Jeanine and I
both nearly fell out of our seats when they announced that our 1956 Century Palomino “The Nite
Hawk” was this year’s recipient of the ACBS Award
for Best Preserved/Most Original entry.
The award capped off a great week end. It was
befitting that Bill and Mary were there to share in
the excitement since they had not only encouraged
us to get involved in the hobby but added a lot of
their own personal sweat and energy to the long and
continuing process. In fact, most of the people in
our eight person traveling party have had a hand in
the process at one time or another and we are very
thankful to have friends like them.

Moreover, the larger,
more important picture is that
the millions in renovations
and new construction will
transform it into a modern
military facility, critical to our
national defense, headquartered in central West Virginia.
This temporary inconvenience points to a related
dilemma. A great need exists
in Braxton County for additional fields for football, soccer, baseball, softball, and a
track for the middle and high
school track and field events.
Likewise, there is shortage of
gymnasium space for basketball, volleyball, wrestling and
other sports and extracurricular activities required to
accommodate the boys and
girls athletic programs that
continue to grow and prosper.
These needs cannot be
funded in their entirety by the
federal or state government. It
will take an effort on
everyone’s part – local, county,
state and federal – to provide
for these necessary additions
and improvements just as it is
for every other areas of the
state. For if we are to grow and
attract new businesses and

It has been many years since Dad passed
away. Though years have passed we do not
forget him. The love he shared with us, the
sacrifices he made for us, the important things
he taught us, it’s not easy to forget, nor do we
want to forget. We go on with our lives as we
must do, but we would give anything to just go
home again and have Dad and Mom greet us at
the door. We should always remind ourselves
that some day they will greet us with open arms,
and this time it will be forever.

Coastal Employee of Month
for June And July 2009
Coastal Lumber Company, Gassaway Mill, is
pleased to announce that
the employee of the bimonthly period, June and
July 2009, is Herbert
Kniceley.
Herb started with
Coastal Lumber Company
in October 2001 as a lumber handler. His quick
ability to learn and desire
to move forward has allowed him to hold several
positions with Coastal
Lumber.
Herb’s current
position is log lift operator
& back up log scaler. However, Herb is always willing
to lend a hand wherever he
is needed. Herb has been
instrumental in reducing
the overtime hours that
was needed in the log yard.
He is always willing to help
with clean up and with any
building project. He has
recently helped with the
roof on the chipper house.
Herb willingly helps out as
loader operator at Coastal’s
Frametown mill when he
is needed. Besides his
positive attitude and willingness to work, Herb has
an excellent safety record
with no accidents or injuries since he has been
with Coastal Lumber.
Herb’s dependability
and willingness to always
go that extra mile has
earned him the respect
and admiration of his fellow employees.
We at Coastal Lumber
Company appreciate your
hard work and commend
you on your strong dedication to your job.
Herb Kniceley, Coastal’s employee of the bi-monthly period.

Crites Mountain near
Little Birch is known for its
elusive big bucks. A Sutton
man will remember it for
as the home of another
larger than life species.
Joe Wyne was searching
for ginseng two weeks ago
when he came face to face
with a very large timber
rattler. “My foot was just
inches away from its head
when I first noticed it,”
Wyne said. The snake
measured 52 inches and
was eight inches in diameter. It had ten rattlers
and a button. “It’s certainly the biggest snake
I’ve ever encountered in
the woods,” concluded
Wyne.

PAT’S CHAT
While
listening
to a TV
program, I
heard this
interesting information.
In
response to
an
inquiry about how long we
have had the Holy Bible
in print, the speaker
said that when Adam was
created, he lived nearly
1,000 years and was
alive when Noah started
his preaching and building of the ark. Then
Noah lived after the
Flood
until
after
Abraham, the Friend of
God. No written Scripture was necessary dur-
ing all of those years because it was revealed
orally by those who had
very close encounters
with God. Then, after
several decades of slavery in Egypt, God’s children came out knowing
very little about God and
needed more guidance.
The first “writing” spoken of was God writing
His ten promises on
tables of stone with His
own finger. (Promises?
Yes, each Commandment promises that you
will NOT kill, steal, commit adultery, etc.) Then
Moses wrote down the
first five books of the Old
Testament as God directed, along with all the
ordinances that explained the ceremonies

that pointed to Jesus’
death for us. That is
when the written Word
began. The rest is history! St. John tells us in
chapter one, “In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with
God, and the Word was
God. The same was in
the beginning with God.
All things were made by
him . . . the Word was
made flesh and dwelt
among us.” (Verses 1, 2,
3 and 14.) Jesus is revealed throughout Scripture. It is the Word of
God – He is the Word of
God. If we want to KNOW
God personally, we need
to go to the Word.

She was formerly of

During a beautiful
wedding uniting Dennis
Peer, Jr. and Darcy
Winkler on Saturday,
September 12th, 2009,
the ring bearer was Joseph Jarmon III, grandson (4 yrs old) of Jimmie
Beth Marple Peer formerly of Burnsville. During the rehearsal on Friday night, the little guy
quietly
asked
his
mother, Jamie, Jimmie
Beth’s daughter, “Do I
have to growl?” Jamie
was really puzzled about
it until she gave it a bit
of thought, trying to see
through her son’s eyes.
She realized that even
through all the practice
they had done at home,
and the chats that various people had had with
him, he thought they
were all saying “Ring
Bear!” He did NOT growl
while walking down the
aisle, however, but
walked down without
hesitation.
Jimmie
Beth writes, “But the reception was quite another story ; )~ He was
also quite impressed
with and fond of the tuxedo but by the end of the
evening, the shirt and
tie were gone and all he
had was the vest, pants,
and shoes on. He looked
like a Chippendale in
training. A good time
was had by all.” When
Jimmie Beth writes, she
always ends with “Go
Mountaineers”! She now
lives in Pennsylvania.

his wife, Letta (Gray Gregory), are home after a

LITTLE MOMMY
By Pat Ridpath
There is something
oh, so gentle
‘Bout a woman who’s
with child.
Her laughter is
much brighter
And her temper is
more mild.
There are twinkling stars about her
In her eyes and in
her toes,
Like a different
“spirit” moves her,
Letting
nothing
bring her woes.
It’s a mystery much
greater than
The
ones
that
trouble Perry.
It is wonder that
engulfs her
Making heart and
home so merry.
How can anyone explain the
Sweet and lovely
“angel” aura?

I was reading in the
Charleston paper that
squirrels and other animals are not finding
enough to eat this year.
The article said to expect
more animals crossing
the roads looking for food
resulting in more road
kill situations. Several
people have told me that
is a sign of a bad winter.
I am not sure if that is
true but I have been trying to help out the deer
and the squirrels with a
little treat every now and
then.
Gassaway has announced that Trick or
Treat will be celebrated on
October 31 st this year
which is on a Saturday.
The GFWC WV Woman’s

WV Bikers for Babies Rally
Braxton County was a destination point for motorcycle enthusiasts from across the state last

New $24-million dorm project underway at GSC
Demolition crews
began demolition of the
former Wesleyan Foundation last week in
preparation for construction of a new on-campus
dormitory capable of
housing nearly 500 students.
Two other structures are being demolished during initial site
preparation.
Details of an October ground-breaking ceremony are being finalized.
Project deadlines
call for the completion of
roughly half the structure by next August, allowing the first 220 residents to move in. The
rest will open in spring
of 2011.
BBL Carlton, of
Charleston, are the gen-
eral contractors. The
building’s footprint will
cover two-thirds of an
acre. More than 60workers are expected
to be onsite once
construction is fully underway.
When completed one
end will extend to near
what was the former
front entrance doors of
the Wesleyan Foundation . From there it follows the sweeping curve
of the roadway toward
the Mollohan Community Center to within
about 40-feet of that
structure.
Dr. Peter B. Barr,
GSC president, said to
see such a rejuvenation
at the school is incredible. “There’s no more
deserving community,”
indicating the modern
facility will facilitate continued enrollment increases, as well as significantly impacting the
economy of the region.
Several
other
projects are also ongoing
at GSC.
Three weeks ago,
for example, the multimillion dollar Morris
Criminal Justice Training Center was dedicated. Local philanthropists I.L. (Ike) and Sue
Morris donated the building, land and monies for
the extensive remodeling of the facility. Work
at that facility is nearing completion.
In addition to the
new training center support, 18-months ago, the
Morris’ made a $5-Million challenge pledge to
jump-start fund raising
efforts for a multi-use
complex on Mineral Road
near the stadium. The
“Pioneer Center” is expected to include a gymnasium, convocation
center, classrooms and
Gilmer County’s first 24
/ 7 critical care medical
facility.
Barr said the proposed Pioneer Center is
nearing its funding goal
but needs a final push of
donations to bring it to
fruition.
Also on tap in the
coming weeks are the
installation of new lights
at the college’s football
field conforming to NCAA
light output requirements.
And, a new recording studio is being built
on the lower level of the
Fine Arts Center.

WVU’s Local Government Leadership
Academy set for Sept. 25-26
Local government officials will have an opportunity to network and
bounce ideas off of one another at West Virginia
University’s annual Local Government Leadership Academy on Sept.
25-26 at the Charleston
House Holiday Inn.
Through a series of
three-hour workshops,
the academy provides an
active exchange of ideas
and information between
West Virginia’s local government officials and
the University’s finest
scholars, prominent public officials and leading
practitioners.
“Elected officials will
receive training on a
wide variety of leadership topics. Academic
professionals and state
policy makers instruct
them on economic devel-
opment, ethics and
more. They receive exposure to ideas that they
may not normally be exposed to in their own
communities,” said Thomas Bias, coordinator of
this year’s academy and
assistant editor of the
WVU Institute for Public
Affair’s publication, West
Virginia Public Affairs
Reporter.
Coordinated by the
Institute for Public Affairs, the academy sponsors two sessions each
year with a fall session
in Charleston and a
spring
session
in
Morgantown. This allows
the academy to reach out
geographically to the
state’s elected and appointed local government
officials, Bias said.
“The Local Government Leadership Academy is important to WVU
because it’s a great example of our 21st century land-grant university mission,” said WVU
Chief of Staff Jay Cole.
“WVU is committed to
putting our resources
into service for the
people of West Virginia,
and the academy is one
way we do that. We are
proud of the chance to
work with local government officials to improve
the lives of our citizens
and the communities in
which they live.”
To ensure that the
academy meets the
needs of many local gov-
ernment officials, the
curriculum is developed
with the assistance of
the Executive Directors
of the West Virginia Association of Counties,
the County Commissioners Association of West
Virginia, and the West
Virginia
Municipal
League.
The Local Government Leadership Academy has six core workshops with over thirty
electives available, and
depending on the number of workshops attended, participants can
earn up to four certificates in achievement,
distinction, excellence
and highest merit.
This year’s workshops include Strides to
a Healthier Community;
Professional Conduct:
The Nuts and Bolts of
Ethics and Open Meeting
Laws; Grantwriting and
the Value of Community
Foundations; The Impact
of War on Returning Veterans and the Community: Developing a Plan
for Mutual Assistance
and more.
The Local Government Leadership Academy is sponsored by the
Institute for Public Affairs
and the Eberly College of
Arts and Sciences.

Eagles go to 4-0 with win over Ritchie
Ranked fourth in AA
teams in the state, the
Braxton Eagles continued
their unbeaten season
with a 13-6 victory over the
Ritchie County Rebels last
Friday night in Braxton’s
Homecoming game. After
a scoreless first quarter,
the Eagles put points on the
board first on a short
keeper by Jordan Lacy in
the
second
quarter.
Ritchie came back with
six points late in the first
half. An unsuccessful PAT
left the score at 6-6.
Lacy scored Braxton’s
go-ahead touchdown in the
third quarter. Kenton
Morlan followed with a successful kick to give the
Eagles a 13-6 lead.
Neither team was
able to mount a drive on
the first possession.
Ritchie stopped the Eagles’
second possession on an
interception and drove
into Braxton territory, but
that drive ended when the
Rebels fumbled and Braxton recovered.
For their first touchdown, the Eagles took advantage of Ritchie’s bad
snap on a punt that gave
Braxton possession on the
Rebels’ 16-yard line.
Yannick Yewawa picked up
eight yards on first down,
and Justin Foster added
one on second. On a thirddown broken play, Nathan
Tallarito carried the ball
inside the Rebels’ five for
a Braxton first down. On
second down, Lacy tucked
the ball and followed his
blockers into the end zone.
Braxton’s
second
touchdown followed a drive
which began in Richie
County territory. Moving
from the Rebels’ 40-yard
line, the Eagles drove to
the 19 before they encountered problems. On a second-down-and-five, Rebel
defenders drove through
Braxton’s offensive line to
stop the runner in the
backfield for a loss of three.
On the next play, Lacy connected with Ethan Shaw
but
a
measurement
showed the Eagles to be a
foot short of a first down.
Deep in Rebel territory, the Eagles opted to go
for it and Lacy picked up
the first. Three plays later
he crossed the goal line for
the score.
This week the Eagles
travel to Spencer to play
the Roane County Raiders.

the first play of the
game, Spencer went deep

Knights’ offense had

game. Coach King explained that his team is

rated, “We’re missing
blocks, we don’t sustain
blocks, and we’re dropping passes. Obviously
we can’t score while
we’re doing all of this.”
The coach did say
his defense “has been
playing tough the last
couple of games,” but
continued to explain, “Of
course they don’t have
much of a chance since
the special teams allow
our opponents long punt
returns and short-field
advantages.”
This week Braxton
travels to Summersville,
and Coach King is hoping
for a better game than
he’s been seeing. “Playing on the turf should
definitely help Braxton’s
players. Our quarterback and receivers won’t
have to worry about slipping on wet grass, and
our
running
backs
should be able to make
better cuts,” he explained. The Knights’
coach is also hoping the
“injury bug” will disappear
before

game.

“slowly improving”
“I see some improvement,” golf coach
Bill Mitchell recently
commented, “but it’s
coming slowly. Our problem is that we don’t have
a golf course to practice
on.” Mitchell continued
to say that he hopes to
see his team “place
above several others in
the LKC Tournament.”
In the last three outings, Braxton’s golfers
managed to beat Lincoln
and Roane but lost to several other teams.
On Sept. 8, the
Eagles played in a quad
match at Stonewall Jackson. There, Braxton senior Ristie Nicholas led
the Eagles with the low
score as they placed third,
behind Lewis and Grafton
but ahead of Lincoln.
The Eagles finished
last in a tri-match with
Nicholas and Gilmer on
Sept.10, but came in
third among four teams
at Gilmer on Sept 15. In
that match, Braxton finished
third
behind
Gilmer and Clay but finished ahead of Roane.
Jacob Tyo had the low
score for the Eagles in
that match.
On schedule for
Braxton this week was
the LKC Tournament at
Mineral Wells yesterday.
On Sept. 23, the Eagles’
junior varsity and varsity
teams travel to Gilmer
for a tri-match, and on
S e p t . 24, they have a

New USDA program available for local farmers
Farmers
pride
themselves being good

and
USDA’s newest program
is designed to reward
them for existing stewardship activities and to
encourage more. The
Natural Resources Conservation
Service
(NRCS) is taking applications for the new Conservation Stewardship
Program (CSP) on a continuous basis. All applications submitted by
close of business September 30, 2009 will be
ranked for the first funding cycle.
The CSP is a new
program (the initials
were also used for the
discontinued Conservation Security Program).
Congress renamed and
revamped the former
program by expanding its
availability and appeal to
agricultural and forestry
producers as part of the
2008 Farm Bill.
“The requirement
is that producers have
to meet minimum levels
of management for one
resource concern and be
willing to meet one additional priority resource
concern within the fiveyear contract.” said
Kevin Wickey, West Virginia State Conserva-
tionist. Each state determines priority resource
concerns. West Virginia
is targeting water quality, soil quality, soil erosion, energy, and plants.
After the application
is submitted to the NRCS
field office, the farmer will
work with the conservationist to answer questions from the Conservation Measurement Tool
(CMT) that produces a
ranking score. If ranked
high enough, NRCS per-
sonnel will visit the farm
to conduct on-site field
verifications of applicants’

ON TRAC workshop to be held at
Sutton’s Landmark Studio
Main Street West Virginia is presenting an application workshop for the
WV ON TRAC program. ON
TRAC is entering its second year as a program developed to help communities boost economic growth
with evaluation, education
and networking resources.
ON TRAC, which stands for
Organization, Training,
Revitalization and Capacity, assists towns with community improvement and
development.
ON TRAC is now the
precursor to becoming a
fully designated Main
Street Community. Communities must participate
in ON TRAC for two years
before applying to become
a Main Street community.
Applications for ON
TRAC are available only
through attendance at the
introductory workshop.
The workshop will take
place Thursday, Oct. 8,
from 1 to 3 p.m. at Landmark Theatre for the Arts,
401 Main St., Sutton, W.Va.
Advance registration is encouraged. For more information or to register, call West
Virginia ON TRAC program
coordinator Delphine Coffey
at (304) 957-2011.
Up to six communities will be accepted into
this year’s program. Communities selected for ON
TRAC will receive training
in downtown or neighborhood revitalization, an assessment of strengths and
weaknesses, access to an
online library of databases
and resources, action-planning services, telephone
consultation, scholarship
and grant information,
technical design visits and
participation
in
the
mentoring program from
the certified Main Street
Programs.
“ON TRAC helps connect residents and businesses with the resources
they need to create a vibrant downtown,” said
Coffey. “A revitalized downtown protects the existing
tax base and creates an
incubator for business development. It serves as an
anchor for the community
by providing stability that
is necessary for economic
growth.”
ON TRAC was created
by Main Street West Virginia but is not part of the
national Main Street program.
“The advantage for
ON TRAC communities is
they will not be required to
set up 501c3 non-profit
Main Street Organizations
or hire staff,” Coffey said.
“The town has the option to
remain ON TRAC and continue to benefit from this
program or may work toward becoming a designated Main Street community.”
To be eligible for ON
TRAC, a town must be incorporated, served by downtown infrastructure and
resources and have a sponsoring organization.
Main Street West Virginia, a program of the
West Virginia Development Office, focuses on
economic revitalization of
historic downtown and
neighborhood commercial
districts by providing technical services, design assistance and continuous
training of board and committee members and program managers using the
National Trust for Historic
Preservation’s Main Street
Four-Point Approach ®.
Main Street West Virginia
provides a liaison between
various state agencies and
organizations with the designated communities.
