Gov. Tomblin Announces
Bell Ringing at Capitol
Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin has
invited schools, churches, and individuals across the state to participate
in a bell ringing in honor of West Virginia's 150th birthday. The statewide
bell ringing will be held on Thursday,
June 20, 2013 at 1:50 p.m., coinciding
with a bell ringing at the State Capitol during the Sesquicentennial Ceremony.
"This bell ringing provides our
citizens with an opportunity to collectively celebrate and reflect on West
Virginia's 150th birthday," Gov. Earl
Ray Tomblin said. "Although, we may
be located in different regions of the
state, this will join all of us together
as we commemorate the state's birthday and officially kick-off this historic
celebration."
Those interested in participating
in the bell ringing are asked to begin
ringing their bells at 1:50 p.m. on
Thursday, June 20, the state's 150th
birthday. Bells should be rung 35
times to signify West Virginia's status
as our nation's 35th state.
Bumgardner to Address
County Historical Society
Stan Bumgardner
Stan Bumgardner, professional
historian, will address the Hardy
County Historical Society on Sunday, June 23, at 2 p.m. in the Hardy
County Public Library.
Bumgardner will talk about West
Virginia’s effort to become a state in
1863. Appropriately, the date of his
presentation is just following West
Virginia’s 150th birthday on June 20.
His career has included working
for the Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, for the WV State
Archives, and as acting director of
the WV Division of Culture and History’s Museums section.
For the last eight years Bumgardner has been a free-lance museum
consultant and exhibit developer. As
a free-lance writer he has authored
books, written articles for Goldenseal magazine and the WV Encyclopedia, and has been a regular contributor to American History
magazine.
The Historical Society invites the
public to attend this meeting.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin today
announced the introduction of a new
United States Postal Service stamp
commemorating West Virginia’s
150th birthday. Thomas J. Marshall,
General Counsel and Executive Vice
President for the Postal Service, will
join the governor on the Capitol
steps to dedicate the stamp during
the official Sesquicentennial Ceremony June 20 at 1:50 p.m. Stamps
will be available for purchase and
cancellation following the ceremony.
“I’m very excited about this new
stamp celebrating our state’s sesquicentennial. The stamp is a beautiful
depiction of our majestic mountains
and forests – a little slice of ‘Almost
Heaven.’ I can't think of a better way
to mark West Virginias 150th birth-
day," Gov. Tomblin said. "This is a
momentous occasion for our state,
and I'm honored that the Postal
Service has partnered with us to
commemorate it.”
The West Virginia Statehood
stamp is being issued as a Forever®
stamp and will go on sale, nationwide, June 20, 2013. Forever stamps
are always equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce
rate.
The photograph featured on the
stamp was taken by Roger Spencer,
a lifelong West Virginian, as he traveled the Highland Scenic Highway
(Route 150) in Pocahontas County,
in the Monongahela National Forest. Spencer took the photo in October 2008.
Spencer believes a successful
photograph should produce an emotional response that recreates the
experience the photographer had
while creating it.
“This image,” Spencer said,
“evokes the serenity one feels when
standing atop one of our mountains,
breathing in the clean, refreshing,
mountain air of a cool October
morning, and viewing the landscape
bathed in the surreal glow of the
misty, early morning light.”
Spencer adds that for many West
Virginians, a breathtaking panoramic
view truly exemplifies their home
state.

Virginia must include our beloved

OPINION
Happy 150th Birthday
West Virginia!
June 20, 1863, one hundred and fifty years ago, West Virginia was separated from Virginia, the only state to be
formed during the Civil War and the only state to be formed
by Presidential Proclamation. Two years ago we wrote the
following and it is even more appropriate today.
West Virginia has survived much. There was the divisiveness surrounding its actual beginnings . . . those who wanted
to separate from the mother state of Virginia and those who
didn’t . . . those who supported the North and those who supported the South. West Virginia was in the middle of the perfect storm to pit brother against brother and son against
father.
West Virginia was blessed with natural resources. There
was coal, timber, glass sand, iron ore, limestone, salt and gas.
There were those who took advantage of those resources and
took the profits out of state. The industrialists didn’t care
about the miners until the mine wars which ended with the
Battle of Blair Mountain, government intervention and the
rise of labor unions.
Over the past 150 years West Virginia has seen its mountains stripped of both timber and hilltops. It has been visited
by floods of a magnitude beyond comprehension. And it has
seen the rise and fall of steel mills, glass plants and the chemical industry.
Today, tourism is a growing industry with river rafting, Zip
lines and a marvelous 10,000 acre Boy Scout adventure camp
being built in Fayette County.
Through all this West Virginians are leaping into the 21st
century with improved roads, communications and a few
politicians who really seem to care about balancing the
budget.
Yes, there are ongoing problems with pollution, health,
jobs and industry issues. But we see lots of positives happening in West Virginia and think it’s quite possible we’ll make
the 150th with flying colors.
. . . And we did. The state is actually growing with jobs in
the government sector and in the tech field, both in the midstate corridor and the Eastern Panhandle.
We would like to suggest that tomorrow you celebrate
West Virginia’s birthday with enthusiasm and a positive attitude. If you are a native, be especially proud. If you have
chosen to live in the Mountain State, you are special indeed
for having selected one of the most beautiful and diverse
states in the Union with some of the finest people.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor,
America the beautiful deserves a
lot better than scandals and corruption when we have major economic
problems and its a national disgrace
to have Barack Hussein Obama in
our White House or even touching
the wreath of the tomb of the
unknown soldiers.
Now is the time to impeach
Obama and his Kenyan economic
programs and except for businesses
and corporations the IRS should be
abolished, and a flat tax be estab-
lished on products and consumers
that’s fair for the rich and the poor.
The much hated IRS has been a
blight and a burden on the American
people for too long and we are still
16.8 billion dollars in government
debt and foreign aid, that supports
terrorists and tyrants around the
globe and unneeded wars based on
lies and deception and oil. The
American people deserve a lot better
Sincerely,
Richard W. Shagle

MY UNBASED OPINION
Fathers Day. I’m under pressure.
Gotta get a column written so I can
get out in the garden. Calling for
rain. I just talked to Phoebe who is
visiting Clarksburg and she said it is
raining there. Been raining off and
on all week. Gotta get plants side
dressed and weeds knocked back a
notch. Thoughts. Odd thoughts
which might add up to enough to fill
my weekly space fast.
I hate skunks in the road. Hate to
hit one and have my vehicle stink.
That can ruin an otherwise pleasant
trip.
Hate worse to have somebody hit
one upwind from my house. There’s
one out there now in front of Big
House. Pretty ripe yesterday. Pretty
well squished out today.
Last year one right in front of the
gate to Doghouse road. Got a little
too intense for me. I went out with
an aluminum scoop and the tractor
loader. Scooped skunk into the
loader and ran in reverse all the way
out past Doghouse, across Moore’s
Run to a brush pile to dump him.
Ran in reverse so stink wouldn’t blow
back in my face. Washed loader

bucket off in the creek. Wonder if
they noticed that down at Chesapeake Bay?
Wardensville has a great continuing mystery. It comes and goes.
Things calm down, folks get used to
the status quo, and then Kerr Pow! It
starts up again.
What is Jeff Kerr building now?
Seems like every frosty morning new
structures rise around his place of
business. Nobody ever knows for
sure what he’s up to next until it’s finished, filled and operating.
Last time maybe wasn’t quite
such a deep dark mystery. New construction’s location and finish made it
stand out in his much added to overall structure. Groceries were needed
around Wardensville and he filled the
need. To an outsider, looking and
buying in Jeff’s new grocery store
might not look wildly successful, but
it appears to me to be busy enough to
stay relevant. The cross section of
Capon Valley residents I see shopping there says it was a good move.
But, what now? New posts and
trusses behind the hardware store.
Mum’s the word. Nobody talking.
Everybody grinning. Jeff’s quiet grin
most infectious. He’s got hardware,
auto parts, groceries and snacks, deli,
gasoline, car wash, dog wash, already.
What’s left? Jewelry? Lumber? Furniture? Maybe just storage for all his
other accumulated businesses.
Whatever, Kerr Mart’s continued
growth speaks well of a hardworking
family in businesses Wardensville
area folks can be proud to patronize.
Speaking of area shopping, a first
for me last Saturday. My first trip
ever to popular establishment, “Rio
Mall.” A friend took me.
I’ve heard about the place for
years. Everybody seems in love with
it. Junk and plunder is the phrase
that jumps to mind first impression.
Fun junk. Fun Plunder.
Naked Barbie dolls, tin whistles
and thirty-two inch bungie cords didn’t do much for me in first big room.
With a spare week or two I might sort
through bins and boxes long enough
to find ten dollars worth of things I
couldn’t live without, but it would be
a hard slog.
Upstairs, I looked a little at work
shirts, but no more than I work anymore I don’t need more than I have
already. Furniture was interesting. A
piece or two I’d buy at the right price
if I found what I wanted, but I didn’t
take enough time Saturday to dig.
Did spend ten dollars though.
Two corn shucking pegs. Old ones.
One blacksmith made. Made for
and/or by a man who knew corn
shucking first hand in a big way, like
back when farm living depended on
it. It’s only shucking peg I have that’s
ambidextrous. I’ve wondered about
left handed corn shuckers, because
every peg I have is for right handed.
Enough thoughts for this week.
Enough thoughts to fill this column
space. I’m off to the garden.

JAY
ROCKEFELLER
Fifty years ago, I was on the outside looking in. A young man in awe
of a state knit so tightly and beautifully – a place whose people are so
closely connected but welcomed me
and shared their treasured home.
A place where the mountains
touch the heavens and dirt roads lead
to home. Suppertime is family time
and neighbors always give with both
hands.
Where summers mean 4-H camp
and sugar maples glow in the fall.
Winters test resilience and the sound
of spring peepers bring us joy.
It’s a place where glass is blown
and handmade quilts get blue ribbons. Buckets of blackberries end up
into a G-rated Las Vegas Caliber

Where doors are held open and
smiles are shared generously. Where
we call friends “aunts” and “uncles”
because they’re just like our own.
A state whose pride wells with the
crack of the Mountaineer’s musket.
Who cherishes a university that grew
strong out of impossible tragedy.
It’s where John Denver sang of
misty moonshine and Rocket Boys
reached the sky.
Where we know the sound of
train whistles and the smell of newlybaled hay in the sun.
Where we raft our rapids and fish
our streams. Hike our trails and ski
snow-covered slopes. Climb our
peaks and camp in valleys.
It’s a state where weddings are
planned around football schedules
and prayers said every night. Kids
catch bugs in mason jars and know
the state song by heart.
Where friendly small towns make
us proud and front porches have
swings.
Where veterans are hometown
heroes and patriotism means more
than waving a flag.
It’s a place where hard work is
marked by empty coffee thermoses
and coarsely stained hands.
Where coal lives beneath our land
and underpins a way of life. Steel has
been forged and helped build a
whole nation.
Where struggle doesn’t mean
defeat; it inspires us to fight harder.
Where tough times bind us together
and we shout our successes from the
mountaintops.
It’s a peaceful place where the
mountains hold us close and the view
from our window reminds us we’re
part of a larger story – of something
special.
We ache for it when we’re away.
And we smile when the words “Wild
and Wonderful” greet us at the state
line.
On West Virginia’s birthday, I am
thankful for my state. I found myself
at her potlucks and in her hollows. I
found my life’s passion, a call to public service, in her people – work I am
deeply grateful to have done for 50 of
her 150 years.
I found my forever home.

If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
we would walk right up to Heaven and bring you back again.
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say Goodbye.
You were gone before we knew it and only God knows why.
Our hearts still ache in sadness and secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you, no one will even know.
But we know you want us to mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times life still has much in store.
Since you’ll never be forgotten, we pledge to you today,
a hallowed place within our Hearts is where you’ll always stay.
Happy Birthday Sweetheart

Providing creates data management systems that mirror the new
Quality Indicator Survey process
used by state surveyors for their
annual inspection of nursing facilities. The value of the system is far
beyond just preparing a skilled nursing facility for the annual health
inspection survey, but builds a foundation in quality assurance, performance improvement, customer satisfaction and state and federal
compliance.
“The Providing embracing Quality Award program recognizes the
highest performers in three categories,” Barbara Baylis, Accreditation Program Director at Providigm,

vocabulary is) and a point level (how
many words are contained in the
book).

Jesseca Walker Receives
John Z. Taylor Memorial Award
Jesseca Walker was presented the
John Z. Taylor Memorial Award
–Diversified Livestock Production at
the Annual Moorefield High School
FFA Banquet. Taylor’s grandson,
Daniel “DJ” Taylor was present and
presented the award to Jesse. Daniel
said he knew his granddad would
have been very pleased that the
award was given to Jesse in his honor.
He said he personally knew Jesse was
a favorite of his granddad and that he
was always proud that she took such
a great interest in farming and FFA.
The award was made available by
Taylor’s family through memorial
contributions.
The Diversified Award is given to
a FFA member that raises multiple
species of livestock, just as Taylor did
raising cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry.
Taylor was a lifelong farmer of
Hardy County and took great interest in the FFA and went to great
strides to support the youth of the
area. He spent most of his life operating the farm with first his father
and then his son and was extremely
proud that the farm has been recognized as a “Century Farm” – one that
has been in continuous operation by
the same family for 100 years or
more.
Taylor provided service and leadership to countless local boards and
businesses: the Hardy County Farm
Bureau, WV Cattlemen’s Association, WV Poultry Association, Farm
Service Agency County Committee,
Tri-County Fair, and too many others
to list.
He was particularly proud of
being a founding board member of
the Love Memorial Health Clinic.
He always considered the establishment of that clinic to be a major benefit for the community. He also was a
life member of the Loyal Order of
the Moose, coached Little League in
his younger days, supported 4-H and
FFA youth activities at fairs and festivals, and always made the farm available to FFA members to learn and
practice sheep shearing.
Jesse will be entering her senior
year at Moorefield High School this
fall. Jesse was much honored to
receive this award in memory of Taylor. She is a member of the Moorefield High School FFA and will
receive her State FFA Degree this
July in Cedar Lakes. Her SAE
includes hereford and angus cattle,
suffolk and cross bred sheep and
market swine. Her FFA Advisor Dan
Junkins said Jesse was very deserving
of this award.
Jesse is the daughter of Andy and
Rita Walker of Old Fields, WV

EHEMS’s Budding Young Writer
For the second time in three
years, Aden Funkhouser has received
state recognition for his exemplary
writing skills. As a fourth grader at
EHEMS, Aden won first place at the
state level in the West Virginia Young
Writers’ Contest. This year, as a sixth
grader, he has been awarded second
place in the state for his entry in the
WV Young Writers’ Contest for his
entry entitled, “Runaway Slave”.
Aden is the son of Rodney and
Lisa Funkhouser of Baker, WV.
A copy of his story is provided for
your enjoyment.
Runaway Slave
Silently, I creep around my room
grabbing my most beloved possession. I know that I can’t pack more
than I can carry. When I am ready, I
tip-toe softly down the steps, but as I
reach the bottom, a step makes a
loud creaking noise. I freeze with
terror, for I know what happens
when you’re caught out of your room
this early. Just the other week
another slave was brutally whipped
for going to get a drink of water. I
scan the room before me, alert for
any movements or signs of life. After
it seemed safe, I continued down the
stairs and out the door. I walked
silently down the rocky road, oblivious to the pain of walking barefooted
on rocks. I trotted down the road as
the early lights of dawn began to
stream down from the heavens. As I
walked, I prayed that this would be
the last time I ever walked down this
old road. I veered off the road and
into the fields beyond it, but I never
dared to look back at that dreadful
house.
I had just made it into the woods
located north of the plantation when
I remembered that I had forgotten to
pack food and water. I immediately
went into a frenzied panic. Finally, I
gain my composure once again and
start to look for water and anything
edible. About three miles into the
woods, there was an abandoned cave
that had a fresh water spring. Outside the cave, prospering raspberry
bushes hid the entrance. I decided to
pick some raspberries for dinner and
get back in the shelter of the cave
before the search parties reached my
part of the woods. That night a horrible storm rolled in, and without the
shelter of the cave, I would have died
of pneumonia. Around midnight I
heard the sound of dogs howling and
the sound of hooves clattering by the
cave entrance. Luckily the blackness
Paul Epstein, Director of Central WV Writing Project and Aden
Funkhouser
was impenetrable that night, and the
rain drowned out any sounds I made
as I slept. They rode right by the cave
entrance, unable to see it through the
extreme darkness. The next morning
I was awakened by the chatter of
morning birds and the light of the rising sun seeping into the cave. I quietly peeked out of the cave looking
for any sign of danger, and when I
was convinced it was safe, I walked
out to my raspberry patch. After two
hours of picking, I returned to the
safety of my cave, but when I came to
the entrance I saw a terrifying sight.
Lying in the cave was a humongous
black bear. Not daring to challenge
the bear, I was forced to leave my
temporary home and walk farther
into the depths of the lush woods.
I walked through the woods listening as birds chirped happily, and
the deer roamed quietly through the
barren parts of the woods. I looked
at the trees and their bright green
leaves that grew all around them to
form the dense forest. As I walked,
I noted possible places where I could
hide in emergencies. At last, as night
came close, I flopped down on the
damp ground. Defeated and tired, I
lie quietly till I drifted into an uncomfortable sleep. I did not hear the
voices until it was too late. I jumped
up and tried to sneak into the cover
of the undergrowth. Just as I thought
I was in the clear, I was roughly
pushed into the ground. I fought as
hard as I could, but finally gave up to
exhaustion. The men were people
who lived on the plantation, and I
could tell they had been up all night
searching for me. Their beards were
unshaven and the breath smelled rotten. I saw one tie a rope to a tree and
put a loop at the bottom. Fear
leaped into my heart. I felt the
coarse rope tightening around my
neck. Just as the horse walked out
from under me, I woke up to my
mom’s voice. “Bud wake up. It is
time to go to school,” she said.
Relieved I thought to myself, it was
just a dream.

Over 900 W.Va. Guard
Techs Face Furloughs
More than 900 West Virginia Air
and Army National Guard technicians will be furloughed in the coming months because of automatic federal budget cuts.
The technicians maintain the
Guard’s equipment and vehicles, and
are classified as civilian employees.
They’re among more than 600,000
U.S. Department of Defense civilian
employees who will be furloughed a
total 11 days each.
The furloughs will affect 186
workers with the 130th Airlift Wing
in Charleston; 384 with the 67th Airlift Wing in Martinsburg; and 376
Army National Guard members at
locations across the state. Furloughs
in West Virginia also include 1005
U.S. Army employees, 578 Air Force
employees, 26 Navy employees and
83 other Department of Defense
employees, the Charleston Daily
Mail reported in Tuesday's editions.
“It is one of the most frustrating
things I have dealt with in my 32
years in the National Guard,” West
Virginia National Guard Adj. Gen.
James Hoyer told the Daily Mail.
If there is a natural disaster the
Guard's ability to respond could be
affected by the furloughs, he said.
“It's clearly going to have an
impact on our readiness,” Hoyer
said.
Overall, the furloughs announced
in May are expected to save the
Defense Department about $1.8 billion. They are to begin in July.
“These are men and women who
represent that less than one percent
of the population of the United
States who are willing to wear a military uniform,” Hoyer said. “And our
way of repaying them is laying them
off for 11 days ... that's a sad commentary on where we are right now.”
Hoyer said the affected employees will lose a large portion of their
pay because of the furloughs. To
assist them, the Guard is working
with Workforce West Virginia.
Area Residents Share in
$504,300 Patronage Refund
Congresswoman Shelley Moore
Capito of West Virginia’s Second
District recently met with Farm
Credit directors and local farmers as
they announced the distribution of a
$504,300 patronage refund to customers in her district.
Farm Credit, an agricultural
lending cooperative, has distributed
a total of $10.6 million this spring to
farmers and rural residents who use
the company’s services across Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland.
“Farm Credit’s mission is to be a
reliable provider of financing to
farmers and rural residents,” said
Congresswoman Capito. “This
patronage refund is indicative of
their dedication to improving the
agricultural economy in West Virginia’s Second District.”
Farm Credit of the Virginias is
part of the nationwide Farm Credit
system of member-owned lending
cooperatives serving rural America.
Their cooperative structure enables
them to return a portion of their
income to customers in the form of a
patronage refund.
“Farm Credit’s strong financial
position has allowed the association
to return a portion of our earnings to
our customers annually for over a
decade,” said Dave Lawrence, Chief
Executive Officer of Farm Credit of
the Virginias. “Additionally, as our
cost of funds has declined, we have
been able to restructure loans to
offer better interest rates to our customers.”
“The patronage refund to our
association’s customers, which has
totaled over $140 million since 2001,
is important to the employees at
Farm Credit. They work diligently to
maximize the dollar amount that the
association can return to the farmers
and rural residents who use its services,” said John Wells, a local farmer
who is a member of the association’s
Board of Directors. “They believe in
the mission of being the agricultural
lender by which others are judged.”
Farm Credit of the Virginias provide more than $1.6 billion in financing to over 11,000 customer-owners
in Virginia, West Virginia, and western Maryland. Farm Credit organizations loan funds and provide
financing expertise to farmers,
agribusinesses and rural homeowners for land and home purchases and
farm operating purposes. For more

expand services that will meet future

provided a dedicated care team
(provider, registered nurse, licensed
practical nurse and medical assistant).” Overall, services and the level
of care Petersburg Veterans currently
receive will be enhanced.
Veterans who have questions or
concerns may contact Jennifer Bennett at 304-263-0811, ext. 3905.

Rain Created Slick Conditions and Errors
For Potomac Valley at the Hillbilly Classic

After a day of torrential rain, the
23rd Annual American Legion Hillbilly Hardball Classic got underway
last Friday in Elkins and the surrounding area.

started its first game on Friday
morning at Robin Harvey Memorial Field at Bluegrass Park with a
slick outfield and very moist infield
which played a part in seven errors
during a 14-7 loss to Grantsville
Post 214.
“You’re not going to beat a team
that good with seven errors. The
kids were excited to play, but the
fields were a little sloppy,” Potomac
Valley Post 64-78 manager Kevin
Reed stated.
“We didn’t make a bunch of
plays. Usually when you start off
with a couple errors, it seems like
everyone follows. Not only did we
have fielding errors, but we had
mental errors such as not playing fly
balls. It seemed everything that
could go wrong did. It’s early and
hopefully we learn from the mistakes. We have another good team
next and we just have to regroup.”
The field crew did an outstanding job dealing with the overwhelming amount of rain to get the fields
in playing condition.

cleaned up its mistakes and created
solid opportunities against St. Mary’s
Post 79 to secure a 13-3 victory on
Friday afternoon which came
moments after a loss with seven
errors.
“We hit the ball and made some
plays, got good solid pitching and
that is the formula for success as we
all know,” Potomac Valley Post 64-78
manager Kevin Reed commented.
“Basically the difference between
the first game and this one was that
we didn’t beat ourselves. We only
had one little error that didn’t hurt
us.”
Potomac Valley Post 64-78 sent
Brian George to the mound and with
the help of his defense, sent St.
Mary’s down in order including one
strikeout.
After a walk to Warner and stolen
base, Jared Kite smashed an RBI sin-
gle to give Potomac Valley an early 10 edge.
St. Mary’s kept checking Kite at
first and Potomac Valley players
shouted plenty of time as he slid
safely back to first, but pitcher Jarrod
Lough got the pick-off moments
later.
See followed with a double, but
St. Mary’s defense collected the next
two outs.
Brian George notched two more
strikeouts and the defense got a flyout in the second inning.
Smith hit a leadoff single, then
Lough threw a strikeout.
Keaton Funk stepped to the plate
and smacked an RBI single,then on a
steal attempt at second base the ball
zoomed into the outfield and Funk
made it safely to third base.
Strawderman and Warner followed with singles, to juice the bases.
Kite was hit by pitch to send Funk
home.
See was given a walk, then Strawderman scored.
Colaw crushed an RBI single to
left field for a 5-0 advantage.
Daniel Hevener hit a sacrifice
grounder which plated Kite for a 6-0
score.
St. Mary’s broke up a no-hitter
with a leadoff home run in the third
inning by Tyler Davis.
George followed with a strikeout,
walk, fly-out, and groundout.
Tim Hevener and Strawderman
both singled in the third, but didn’t
score.
St. Mary’s started the fourth
inning with a walk, then a pop-up
and strikeout.
Zack Romine smashed a two-run

The Shockers walked past the
Montezuma Braves 5-4 with the
help of three East Hardy alumni
during last Tuesday’s game at New
Market.
The East Hardy alumni trio of
Adam Foltz, Korey Foltz, and
Jamie Miller has made an early
impact for the Shockers.
This was a regular season
match-up between two Rockingham County (Va.) Baseball League
teams.
New Market’s starting pitcher
and current Potomac State College
hurler Jamie Miller spelled six
Braves in 6 1/3 innings with 120
pitches.
The Braves countered by making contact against Miller with 10
hits, while the Shockers yielded
four runs.
“I pitched really bad tonight and
my arm got a workout, but I like
playing for this team. I am only
pitching for them this summer. New
Market has a great group of players
and coaches. Coach [Doug] Little
(Potomac State) likes them too and
that is what matters,” New Market
pitcher Jamie Miller noted.
Miller helped the Catamounts
win the conference championship
this season.
New Market was patient at the
plate in the latter innings to topple
the Braves.
The Shockers garnered 14 hits
on the night.
After a scoreless first inning,
both squads notched a run in the
second inning.
New Market took a 2-1 lead in
the third inning and Miller kept the
Braves off the board for two con-
secutive innings.
In the fifth inning,
Montezuma knotted the
game at 2-all as a hit into
right field eluded the dive
attempt of Korey Foltz, but
Foltz redeemed himself in the
bottom of the inning, putting the
Shockers on top with an RBI double, 3-2.
Foltz plans to join Miller at
Potomac State in the Fall and will be
on the diamond as well for the Catamounts.
Foltz had to stay alert due to a number of hits coming his direction with
some finding a place to land.
The third East Hardy alumni playing for New Market is Korey’s cousin
Adam Foltz who is a veteran on the
squad in center field.
Adam Foltz has been a consistent
player over the years for the Shockers, but struggled some at the plate
against the Braves.
Miller was tagged for ten hits by
the Braves overall and they took a 4-3
lead in the seventh inning with one out.

New Market Shockers pitcher Jamie Miller prepared to deliver
a pitch against the Montezuma Braves last Tuesday.

Shaky Start
Potomac Valley’s Prayers
Continued from page 1B
Since Miller was at such a high pitch count
(120), his coaches took him out of the game.
After a run tied the game for the Shockers in
the eighth inning, the Braves couldn’t find
another run.
New Market notched a leadoff single in the
ninth, then two groundouts brought Korey Foltz
to the plate.
The Braves pitcher stepped off the mound
and refused to pitch, giving an intentional walk
to Foltz who stole second on a past ball.
The next batter was hit by a pitch which
loaded the bases.
The Shockers won with a walk-off walk as
Montezuma failed to locate pitches in the end.
These three East Hardy alumni have a
chance to harness their skills in this wooden bat
league.
The Rockingham County Baseball League
was founded in 1924 and 2013 marks the 90th
season for the league.
New Market hosts Clover Hill this Friday
and greets Bridgewater on Saturday.
Elkton comes to New Market next Tuesday
which completes the homestand, then the
Shockers travel to Bridgewater on Friday.
Potomac State to Hold
Summer Baseball Camp
Potomac State College of West Virginia University will sponsor their
annual baseball camp this summer for
ages 6 through 13.
This camp will stress the fundamentals of the game of baseball including all
aspects of infield and outfield defense,
hitting, pitching, catching, and base running.
Campers will be divided by age and
skill level with each camper receiving
individual instruction in all facets of the
game.
The camps will be instructed by
Head Baseball Coach Doug Little,
Assistant Coach Don Schafer and Assistant Coach Brock Stevens.
Coach Little is in his 16th year of
coaching baseball at Potomac State.
He has been named the American
Baseball Coaches Association Regional
Coach of the Year ten times.
In 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2011, Little
was also named the National Junior
College Athletic Association (NJCAA)
East District Coach of the Year in leading the Catamounts to four trips to the
Division I JUCO World Series.
Potomac State has won the NJCAA
Region XX Baseball Championship
thirteen out of sixteen years that Little
has been at the helm.
Coach Schafer has been with the
Catamount’s baseball team since the fall
of 1999. He works very closely with the
hitters to improve their batting average
and has also produced four winners of
the NJCAA Eastern District Rawlings
“Big Stick” award which is presented to
the leading hitter in the East District.
These players had individual
batting averages of .446, .447,
.448, and .456.
Coach Schafer also serves as
the infield instructor, third-base
coach and works with the base
runners.
Coach Stevens is in his second year at Potomac State where
he serves as the outfield instructor as well as the first-base coach. Above: New Market Shockers right fielder Korey Foltz jumped up during

The camp is being held at Golden
Park on the campus of Potomac State
College from July 15-18 and will run
from 9:30 a.m. to noon with registration
beginning at 9 a.m., the first day.
Each camper should bring baseball
gloves, bats, batting gloves, baseball
shoes, tennis shoes (for indoor use in
case of inclement weather), caps,
catcher’s equipment and uniform pants
or clothing suitable for play. A water
bottle and sunscreen are highly recommended.
There is a nominal fee for each
camp and all campers will receive a free
Potomac State Baseball Camp shirt.

ball.
Funk hit a sacrifice grounder
sending Hevener home for an 8-3
advantage.
In the fifth inning, George
notched another strikeout and gave
up a double as Warner slipped in the
mud trying to reach the ball.
Thursday’s downpour created a
huge swath of mud in the outfield,
but the field crew did a remarkable
job getting the infield ready for
action with some moisture which
started to evaporate throughout the
day.
“Brian George showed how good
he can be. Once he learns how good
he can be, everyone in the area better be ready. He is super, super talented. He can be dominate the next
couple of years,” Coach Reed noted.
St. Mary’s sent the first two

an error.
Warner was walked to load the

Moorefield Examiner
East Hardy senior Josh Parker
obliterated school receiving records
and was recognized by being
selected to the North-South AllStar Football Classic this past Saturday in Charleston at Laidley
Field.
Parker set the East Hardy alltime single game, season, and
career receiving records.
The Cougars have been deep
into the playoffs in recent years and
much of the credit falls on the
shoulders of Parker.
“I am honored to be recognized
and to have the opportunity to play
among the best players in the state
of West Virginia. This is very humbling, with all the larger schools
around the state, I didn’t expect
anything,” East Hardy WR Josh
Parker commented.
Parker caught 53 passes this season for 1,293 yards with 15 touchdowns in helping lead East Hardy
to the state quaterfinals.
Parker set a new preliminary
round state playoff record with 232
receiving yards on eight touches
against Wheeling Central Catholic.
Parker has proven to be a talented defensive player with nine
interceptions this season and which
helped land him a spot on the AllPVC Conference 1st team.
Parker earned a spot on the
Class A Football All-State First
team.
Parker plans to attend Fairmont
State University in the Fall and
major in Criminal Justice, but has
his sights on joining the football
team.
“It is quite an honor to have
Parker selected to the North-South
All-Star Football Classic. He is the
primary reason why we did so well
in the playoffs. Knowing there are
so many large schools to choose
from around the state, makes it that

Parker injured his hand at the
state track meet where he garnered
third in the long jump, but had time
enough to heal for snaps at Laidley
Field.
Parker collected one pass for a
single yard against the South Cardinals.
The North Polar Bears lost 4314.
The last North-South All-Star
Football Classic member selected
from Hardy County was fellow

Oates Named 2013 Direct
Support Professional of the Year
On April 30, the American Network of Community Options and
Resources (ANCOR) recognized J.
Stephen Oates of Potomac Center,
Inc. in Romney, West Virginia, as
the 2013 Direct Support Professional of the Year for West Virginia.
“We at Potomac Center are
proud of Stephen,” said Chief Executive Officer James E. “Rick”
Harshbarger. “This award shows
the dedication he has to support
people with disabilities and reflects
the quality of services provided by
Potomac Center.”
Direct Support Professionals
(DSPs) – also referred to as caregivers, personal assistants and
direct care or homecare aides – provide a rich mosaic of daily support
services for the many Americans
with disabilities. These DSPs are
integral in helping people with disabilities participate in their communities and lead full and independent
lives.
“Most Americans are not aware
of the critical work DSPs do every
day and the essential role they play
in the social and economic life of
communities across the country,”
said Dave Toeniskoetter, president
of ANCOR. “We want to make
sure DSPs like Stephen are recognized for the difficult but inspiring
work they do every day.”
“DSPs are on the front lines supporting people with disabilities and
ensuring those individuals are
granted full inclusion in their communities,” said Renee Pietrangelo,
CEO of ANCOR. “It is absolutely
essential that individuals like
Stephen are given the recognition
and respect they deserve.”
ANCOR’s Direct Support Professional Recognition Award is
given to those who personify the
values of ANCOR’s National Advocacy Campaign, which works to
ensure a well-trained and sustainable direct support workforce.
Nominees are judged on the work
they’ve done to build social networks, substantive community participation and advocating for the
people they serve.
Since 1980, Potomac Center has
provided a variety of residential
support and assistance to both children and adults with developmental
disabilities as they learn the skills
needed to live successful lives.
Activities are focused on individual
need to ensure that each person
lives the fullest and most enjoyable
life possible with the primary goal
to return individuals to their biological homes.
Potomac Center’s administrative offices are in Romney. Two
group homes and two waiver homes
are located in Romney, with an
additional waiver home south of
Moorefield. Two other SFC offices
are located in Moorefield and
Elkins with many SFC homes
throughout West Virginia.
