crackdown results in arrest
The Gassaway Depot is on its way to returning to the prestigious and impressive
building it was in the early days of Gassaway.
Life slowly returning
to old Gassaway Depot
By Shirley Shuman
In 1903, according to
Alan Clarke in West
Virginia’s Coal and Coke
Railway, Henry Gassaway
Davis decided to locate the
repair shops for the C and
C “at the mouth of Little
Otter Creek on the Elk
River….halfway between
Charleston and Elkins.” As
many local residents
know, the site of those repair shops came to be
known as Gassaway, a
town developed basically
to provide for the railway.
Following layout of
the town in October 1904,
construction of a large hotel along with the sale of
lots began. That same
year, according to Clarke,
J. O. Chenoweth was contracted to build four railroad
stations—at
Gassaway, Frametown,
Strange
Creek
and
Turner. Davis insisted that
Chenoweth begin with the
Gassaway station. He also
insisted that it be “built in
such a way it could be
moved and a permanent
building be constructed.”
In 1914, that “permanent building” was constructed, and what town
residents and Braxton
County citizens know as
the Gassaway Depot came
into being. Made of brick
and hand-cut stone, the
depot was a bustling area
which handled passengers
from the regular passenger service as well as incoming freight trains,
whether they were passing
through or bringing cars
and locomotives to the repair shops located in the
same area. Here, the C
and C Railroad had established a wood working
shop, transfer table, a
machine shop, and an
erecting shop. Even today,
railroad cars are repaired
in the area, according to
Bill James of Gassaway.
James, who worked
for the railroad beginning
in 1949 in the depots and
moving to brakeman and
then conductor, said that,
when he retired in 1983,
the depot “was still operative, and trains were still
running regularly.” As far
back as 1957, diesel engines had replaced the
steam locomotives, and
the rail line “had stopped
running passenger trains
sometime before that.”
Following the demise
of railway service, which
had by that time become
service from the B and O
Railroad Company, to the
area,
the
historic
Gassaway Depot began its
decline. After its close,
vandals broke out windows until, according to
Alan Boggs of Gassaway,
only one window was left
intact. Boggs, a member of
the latest governing board
for the depot’s restoration,

Commission holds brief session
The Braxton County
Commission met in a relatively brief session last
Friday, February 1. President Gary Ellyson called
the meeting to order at
9:00 a.m. Kevin Lunceford
was first to address the
Commission. The representative of the Vernon
Road Waterline Association presented the commissioners a report detailing the fund raising efforts
of his group.
Paula Cunningham
also addressed the Commission. She explained
that she was teaching a
business
law
class
through Glenville State
College. Cunningham requested permission to
bring her 14 students into
the Courthouse after
hours to teach them about
various filing procedures.
Terry
Frame
told
Cunningham that she only
needed to work out the
details with the County
Clerk and that she did not
need additional permission from the Commission.
In other business;
Terry Frame’s motion resulted in the approval of
the probate appointments
for the month of January
as submitted.
Ron Facemire made a
motion to approve the applications for correction of
erroneous assessments for
Brian Jarvis and Donald
Rhodes.
A request to consolidate tracts of land for tax
purposes made by Robert
and Susan Murphy was
approved on a motion by
Terry Frame. That same
motion split a class as requested by David C. Case.
Terry Frame introduced action to approve
two purchase orders for
the Sheriff’s Department.
Evans Auto Repair was the
provider for 4 tires for a
Dodge Durango at a cost
of $571.80. Michael Motors
will perform repair work on
a 2006 Ford totaling
$678.05.
Following a brief discussion, Terry Frame
made a motion to honor
Dot Gioulis’ request to be
removed from the Region
VII Planning & Development Board and to be appointed to the CAEZ
Board.

finement officers William
Alderman and Jake
Dennison along with Sheriff Williams sat down with
each convicted individual
and explained the new
rules Williams has implemented as part of the
home confinement program. Conditions of the
reduced sentencing allow
random drug testing. That
measure was the final
straw that landed Harry
Jacob Hinkel back in jail.
Hinkel was originally
given the reduced sentencing as part of a plea
agreement resulting from
his role in a 2011 theft at
the Gassaway Volunteer
Fire Department. On February 22, 2012 Hinkel’s
original sentence of 1 to 5

Sheriff Eddie Williams says that one of his
objectives, when he took
office, was to restore the
judicial systems faith in
the home confinement
program. That effort resulted in one of the 19 individuals that received the
reduced sentence, going to
jail.
“We quickly realized
that one way to save the
county money on Regional
Jail fees was to increase
the use of the home confinement program,” explained the Sheriff. “In order to accomplish that goal
we knew we needed to restore the judicial systems’
faith in our ability to administer, manage and
monitor the reduced sentencing,” he added.
Last Wednesday,
Harry Jacob Hinkel
Sheriff Williams held his
first of what will become
weekly interviews with
those placed on the home
confinement system. The

with the Sheriff to improve
monitoring, was the site of

professional community’s
latest member, Rebecka
Campbell, is currently initiating her practice as a
behavior analyst, one of
only forty in West Virginia,
twenty of which work in
Morgantown. Campbell
noted that some of those
in Morgantown are actually professors at the university and therefore do
not practice. Marshall University also accounts for
others among the total.
She noted she is the only
board-certified behavior
analyst “within a sixtymile radius.”
In her practice,
Campbell plans to concentrate on children with autism, which is her primary
interest. Asked how she
chose autism as her specialty, she responded, “I
first became interested
while I was taking an abnormal psychology class in
which we studied autism
in undergraduate school.
As part of that study, we
had a long discussion
about the condition.” She
continued, “Then, I
learned of a part-time job
working with a five-year
old boy with autism. I took
the job, and I worked with
him two or three hours a
day after school.” She explained that, during this
job, she became even more
interested in autism and
those affected by it.
Describing some of
the procedures which behavior analysts use with
autistic
children,
Campbell noted that the
analyst works in three areas: social, communication, and behavior. She
began by explaining some
may try to modify the behavior by trying to alter the
environment,” she noted.
A Michigan native
who did her undergraduate work at Eastern Michigan University, Campbell
received her Master’s of
Science degree from
Florida Institute of Technology in 2012. She and
her husband Eric, a pharmacist,
live
near
Flatwoods. Both enjoy
traveling and “being part
of
[their]
church—
Gassaway Baptist.” This
summer they plan to participate in a mission to
Haiti to build a playground. In addition to
spending time with their
families, they also enjoy
watching NASCAR races.
Campbell
is
partnered with Bright
Future Learning Services
of Hurricane, an organization which provides, in
addition to other services, advice on marketing and insurance. Eager
to begin work, Campbell
plans, for now, to work
out of her home. Her
usual procedure, once
she receives a call from
the parent of a prospective client, is to set up a
meeting during which
she will probably visit the
home and, initially, just
talk. Once she has accepted the client, she will,
of course, set up a schedule and proceed from
there.

Behavior Analyst joins area’s
professional community
of the common behavior
signs of autism. “A lot of
these children develop
specific behaviors; for example one might begin
clapping his hands. Often,
these kids start to talk
whenever most children
do. They begin babbling,
as most do, and then they
start using single words,
sometimes phrases. Typically, though, they lose
those words because of
their autism.”
In the social area,
Campbell commented, “We
often see kids who have
little or no interest in being with others, including
their siblings and parents.” For example, she
explained, “Even as very
small children, they often
show no sadness whenever their parents leave
the room or the house.”
The procedure for the
behavior analyst begins
with what Campbell called
a “differential assessment.” Following that, the
analyst observes to determine what the child does,
when it happens, and how
the environment might be
affecting the behavior. “We
Fake 9-1-1 call leads to arrest
At approximately
8:15 p.m. Friday evening,
February 1, Braxton Control alerted law enforcement officers of a report
that a man was being held
at gun point at the
Gassaway Go Mart. The
caller told dispatchers
that he was being held by
two individuals at knife
and gun point.
Troopers
J.M.
Maynor and G.H. Jones of
the Sutton Detachment of
the West Virginia State
Police met Sheriff’s Deputy
J. N. Dennison and Sutton
Police Chief Westfall at the
scene. Information obtained from the 9-1-1 dispatch center led Trooper
Maynor to question Jo-
seph Ware of Napier. The
suspect denied calling 91-1. Officers spoke with a
Go-Mart employee who
confirmed that Ware had
come into the store and
made a 9-1-1 call. The call
history on the store’s
phone also confirmed that
a call had been placed from
that location.
A subsequent search
of Ware revealed what officers believed to be 8
hydrocodone pills and
$563 in cash. Officers
could also smell alcohol on
the accused which led to a
preliminary breath test
being performed. Ware
registered a blood alcohol
content of .268%
Ware was taken to
the Sutton Detachment
for processing. He was
placed in an interview
room while troopers completed paperwork in another room. When officers
attempted to re-enter the
room, Ware had locked
the door which he initially refused to open.
Ware, age 22, was
charged with public intoxication, obstructing and
possession of a controlled
substance. He was arraigned before magistrate
Larry Clifton and later released pending additional
court appearances.

As I
See It
By
Clint Ferguson
By Ed Given
A fun game to watch…
I wish the Super Bowl was on Saturday, or
earlier on Sunday. It makes a long day on Monday,
even longer. We had our friends Mary, Bill and Karen
over to watch the game Sunday. Jeanine had cooked
up a big mess of wings and a pot of chili, perfect for a
winter evening of setting in front of the tube.
Well that’s the way it was supposed to be. As is
often the case at our house… things grew a little. By
the time our guests arrived and brought their contributions, we had enough food to feed and army. We
had planned on eating about half time and just having
snacks prior to the game. That didn’t work out either.
Everything smelled so good… we just had to sample it.
First thing you know, we are all thinking more about a
nap than the Ravens and 49ers.
I was not a huge fan of either team, but it was
certainly a good game. The lights going out added to
the excitement. Even though it was a great game, I
was more struck by the commercials. We have all
heard about the astronomical cost of Super Bowl
commercials.... and then there was the “wardrobe
malfunction” that year with Janet Jackson that got
more attention than the game… by the way, anyone
remember who was playing that year?
Everyone at our Super Bowl party felt the same
about the commercials. We did more cheering for the
good commercials that we did for the game. There
were some really good ones.
However, I have to admit that some of them went
right over my head. My friends said it was because
they were geared for the young audience and that is
why I didn’t get it. What ever the reason, I found
myself scratching my head on some of them.
All in all it was a great game. A nice evening with
lots of good food and great friends to share it with.
Bobcats...
I enjoy all wildlife
and find them interesting
whatever species it may
be. Some get a lot of attention like deer, turkey,
bear, for example and others are seldom seen such
as bobcats, fishers, and
foxes. These predators are
sneaky and elusive by nature as well as nocturnal
for the most part, and
sightings are few and far
between.
With deer season a
past memory I decided to
concentrate on some of the
lesser known wildlife species that roam our hills
and hollows. Rabbit and
grouse get my attention
the most in January and
February, but bobcat, fox,
and coyotes can all provide
late season predator
hunting opportunities.
Raccoon season is still in
as well.
This week I’m going to
talk about the only native
feline predator in West Virginia, the bobcat (Felis
rufus). The eastern mountain lion useD to reside in
the mountain state in the
1800’s but that species is
now extinct, except for a
small isolated population
in Florida. Western mountain lions were able to survive early settlement and
still thrive in the western
states of the US.
Bobcats are larger
than domestic cats and
weigh between 15-35
pounds with the males
outweighing the females.
It gets its name from its
short or “bobbed” tail.
Their bodies are yellowish
to grayish brown with
black dots and streaks
covering its body. The underside of the neck and
belly are white.
Another notable
characteristic is the
pointy ears with tufts of
black fur usually less than
an inch long at the tips of
the ears. Lynx’s on the
other hand have longer
tufts of hair at the tips of
their ears and very few
spots on their bodies.
Though closely related to
bobcats, lynx’s aren’t
found in West Virginia
and inhabit areas to the
north up into Canada.
Bobcats prey on a
variety of small mammals
such as rats, mice, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits,
birds, wounded or dead
deer, and they will occasionally eat small domesticated animals such as
chickens and ducks. Bobcats are nocturnal meaning they move and hunt
at night. Cats are sneaky
and elusive by nature
and the bobcat is no different.
They are seldom
seen in the West Virginia
woods but they’re out
Just look at this!
A weekly photo of opinion in Braxton County...
sometimes good and sometimes not so good.
Impressive…
We often have good programs at our Rotary
meetings. That’s one of the main reasons I enjoy being
a member. Recently they have been exceptional....
Helen Matheny told us about the great work going on
in the area of Alzheimer’s research at the Blanchette
Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute in Morgantown. Bill
Hunt gave a great presentation on the growth of
Sutton Lake Mariana. Jim Estep of the WVHTC Foundation was also a recent guest as you will note from
the picture on this page. His presentation was nearly
spell-binding. What they are doing in some areas of
their research could make a great plot for a science
fiction movie. The amazing part is that is not fiction at
all. The technology is cutting edge and it is amazing.
Also impressive is that it is going on right here in West
Virginia just a few miles up the road. Even more
impressive is that one of our own native sons is in the
forefront of these revolutionary developments.
Jim also talked about the future of the Technology Park which is obviously bright. After the
presentation, Jim invited our club to make arrangement to come up and tour the facilities Our members are very excited and we are making plans for a
spring visit. That outing will also have an added
advantage for me. My son works for one of the
contactors at the NOAA (National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration’s Environmental Security Computing Center (ESCC) complex which is
located at the park. Jim said if we tune in to any
national weather channel the information broadcast, comes from their Fairmont facility. I was
impressed.

Braxton County’s own James Estep, President and CEO of the West Virginia High
Technology Foundation, was recently the guest speaker at the Braxton County
Rotary Club. Estep told Rotarians about the amazing research and innovations
that are being developed at the Fairmont Technology Park. He discussed some of
the work his foundation does in the area of embedded computer integration,
autonomous flight and ground systems, optics, photonics, data analysis, signal
processing, power electronic and electromagnetics, space weather and theoretical
plasma physics. The presenter easily held the attention of his audience as he
described many of the cutting edge projects that take place at the north central
West Virginia complex.

freshman delegates will
participate in an orientation
there. How many road
killed bobcats have you
ever seen here? I’ve actually been fortunate in
that I’ve encountered several bobcats over the
years.
Most of my
sightings have come during bowseason when I was
well concealed and
perched high in a
treestand. The one encounter that stands out
the most took place in
Braxton County during
the 2009 bowseason.
I was hunting a
stand on a field edge and
watching a couple 6 points
feed in the field below me
when all of a sudden
something alerted them. I
had been seeing fresh coyote signS in the area and
thought “here comes that
coyote”. About then I
caught movement and
quickly put the binoculars
on it.
To my amazement it
was a huge bobcat carrying a big fox squirrel in its
mouth. The big cat had
the fox squirrel right behind the neck and took it
towards the woods. He
stopped and stretched
about 80 yards below me
proudly displaying his kill
before disappearing up a
hollow. It was an awesome encounter and I bet
that was one happy cat
that evening.
Bobcats mate between February and
March. Females give birth
in late April or early May
and usually have a litter
of one to seven kittens.
The little ones stay with
momma for about a year
before they venture out on
their own. Bobcats have
a relatively long life span
and can live up to 12 years
in the wild.
These nocturnal
creatures are also solitary
for the most part and stay
close to home. During
mating season male bobcats ranges may overlap
as they’re traveling looking for a mate. A typical
female bobcat will have a
home range of about a
square mile where males
may venture a little further and have a home
range up to 20 miles depending on the time of
year and geographic location.
Bobcat scat can often
be confused with coyote
and dog. One difference
is that bobcats tend to
cover their scat with dePlease turn to OUTDOORS

years in the state penitentiary was suspended and
he was given the alternative sentence of 1 year of
home confinement for his
felony plea to the offense
of grand larceny.
During the interview,
Hinkel admitted that he
had lost his job and alleged
that he was out looking for
a new one, as a reason he
was not complying with
the home confinement requirement. Notification of
change in employment and
permission to be outside
the home are both requirements of the court
ordered reduced sentencing program. But, it was
Hinkels failure of a drug
test that resulted in his
immediate arrest and return to the Central Regional Jail. He will remain
incarcerated until he appears before Judge Richard Facemire to answer
accusations that he violated the terms of his reduced sentencing.
“Home confinement is
just that… confinement. It
is still punishment and has
a number of court imposed restrictions,” said
the Sheriff. “We intend to
enforce those restrictions.
We will also rely on other
law enforcement officers to
assist in monitoring the
program as well as the Day
Reporting Center. We hope
to increase the number of
individuals on home confinement as a way to save
the county money. However, these convicted individuals must realize that
we are serious and home
confinement is a punishment, not a get out of jail
free card.”
All individuals currently serving on home
confinement in Braxton
County are now scheduled
to be at the Day Reporting
Center on Wednesday
morning of each week. In
addition, Sheriff Williams
says his department is
committed to increased
monitoring and holding
those in the program accountable to the conditions set forth by the
courts.
COMMISSION
Jack resigning all boards
he was previously assigned to as a county commissioner.
Ron Facemire made a
motion to refund $104 in
delinquent tax money to
Randall Revine.
Terry Frame made a
motion to authorize Mike
Baker to use the County
credit card to purchase
EMD Cards, pay for
Brenda Slaughter to take
an internet course pertaining to the EMD training and purchase books
necessary for students to
take the course at a total
cost of $1816.93.
The Commission also
approved the name of
Country Mile Lane on a
motion by Ron Facemire.
Terry Frame introduced action to approve a
series of budget revisions.
Under the topic of old
business, Terry Frame
brought up the Sheriff’s
request, made at the previous meeting, to reimburse David Doak for a
grant writing class he recently took. Frame, who
had previously moved to
table the request, made a
motion to pay Doak the
$425 fee.
Following a review
the EMS and county invoices were authorized for
payment on a motion by
Ron Facemire.
Minutes of the previous meeting were approved as presented by the
County Clerk, before the
meeting adjourned at 9:20
a.m. The next regular
meeting of the Braxton
County Commission will be
held on February 15 beginning at 9:00 a.m.
DEPOT
described some of the
other damage the building
suffered. “The upstairs
was in awful shape, with
the plaster gone and extensive water damage,”
Boggs said. “The basement
floor was basically gone,
too, because at one point,
the railroad crews had put
calcium chloride in the
basement and it literally
ate the floor,” he added.
Boggs indicated that,
among the restoration efforts begun, “the windows
have all been replaced
with windows identical to
the original ones, and, after digging completely
around the building, fresh
drains have been placed
around the building’s cutstone foundation.”
Gassaway mayor Richard Roach commented
that the drainage system
“was one of the mandates
issued by the state and the
Historical Society.” Mayor
Roach continued to explain that the first stage of
the renovation had to be
waterproofing the building
from the exterior. “Completing this stage included
installation of the windows
and the drain system,” he
said.
Ro a c h e x p l a i n e d
that the work done to
this point “is only the beginning of what we want
to do with the depot.”
Currently, the town has
on order 175 clay roofing
tiles and twenty ridge
caps which will, of course,
have to be installed once
they arrive.
Boggs mentioned that
one procedure that definitely must be done before
the building can be used
for anything is stabilizing
the inside walls. “We have
an architect,” he noted,
“and we have guidelines
from the Historical Society.” One of those guidelines, according to Mayor
Roach, is that part of the
building be “used for
something.” He added, “It
cannot just sit there; it
must have a reason for
being.”
Currently, the mayor
sees the top floor as being
a type of museum depicting the development and
operation of the railway,
the town and the depot itself. Boggs, currently a
member of the Gassaway
Town Council, also envisions part of the building
as a museum. Plans for
the first floor are still underway although Roach
would like to see that floor
“made into something for
the public to be able to
use.” He does have some
ideas, he noted, but refrained from voicing those.
“We need to get more input from others, including
the residents of the town,
before we make any final
plans,” he said.
Obtaining ideas from
Gassaway
residents
should come at a town
meeting which Mayor
Roach plans to hold “as
soon as the weather
breaks, probably sometime in March,” he said. He
emphasized that, for that
meeting he would like to
see a large attendance representing the entire town.
“After all, we want whatever we decide for the depot to be for the people of
Gassaway,” he commented. “The more input
we have, the more likely
we are to design something
which will benefit the
whole town,” he added,
“and that’s definitely our
aim.”
One suggestion for
using the depot is creating a haven for children
after school—an area
where they can receive
tutoring, play games of
various types, or socialize.
Another possibility includes opening the bottom
floor for meetings of various groups or, at other
times, for simple socialization among adults. Whatever the final choices are,
one can be certain that, in
the near future, the rundown, vandalized building
will once again stand
proud and play an integral
role in the town of
Gassaway.

Bobcats are fascinating and beautiful animals. I actually have a
full size mount of one that
I look at and admire everyday. Bobcat season

Going from U.S. Army
medic to beauty salon
owner/operator may seem
a huge step, but Teresa
Mick of Frametown is currently preparing to do just
that. Recently retired from
the military after twentyplus years of service—the
last sixteen with the Army
National Guard, Mick officially opened her salon, A
Touch of Style, in
Frametown on Friday,
February 1.
Actually, Mick reopened the salon she has
owned for several years
but which she closed
whenever she was called
for active military duty. “I
opened it and had built a
clientele before the Guard
called me for duty in Iraq,”
she said, adding, “I closed
it while I was away.” After
her fifteen-month tour in
Iraq, she returned to
Frametown and reopened
the salon “for about a
year.” Once again, the National Guard called; this
time she was sent to
Mexico for nearly eight
months.
Upon her return from
Mexico, she decided “it was
just too much” to try to
manage the salon along
with her being “on active
orders” with the Guard. “I
just stayed with my other
job,” she said, “and left the
salon closed.”
Her “other job,” which
she had maintained a

Services. Here she works
34 hours a week, and she
plans to continue that job
“at least for a while” after
reopening her salon. She
explained that she left the
position with Central West
Virginia Aging each time
she had been called for
active duty. Then, when
she returned to the area,
the agency “was always
willing to hire [her] again.”
As owner/operator of
A Touch of Style, Mick offers “the full range” of services one expects to see in
a salon. “I will offer cuts,
curls, perms, color, high-
lights, manicures, and
pedicures,” she emphasized. To begin, the salon
will be open from 11 a.m.
to 5 p.m. on Friday and
from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday. She explained,
however, that once “the
clientele builds,” she will
“probably add more days.”
Now holding down
two jobs, Mick is also busy
off the job. “I have a family
here,” she said, “which includes my husband, a son
and daughter and two
grandkids.” When this
woman added, “I stay really busy,” it was definitely
easy to believe her.

since they prey on small

Culverts are a good
place to look for sign as
bobcats tend to cross roads
at low places and often
leave scat at culvert

another good place to find
bobcat signs. Tracks are
another good thing to look
for especially when there’s

I had read an article
in the Charleston Gazette
where the West Virginia
Library Commission was
sponsoring a program
where individuals were
asked to read 150 books
in 2013. I left a note for
Dee Dee Herron at the
library to see if our own
Burnsville Public Library
would be participating.
She sent me the following
from a newsletter from
the West Virginia Library
Commission (WVLC).
The year-long reading initiative encourages
West Virginians to read
150 books in any format
(printed book, e-book,
audio book, down loadable text, etc.) from any
source, during the course
of 2013, West Virginia’s
sesquicentennial year.
Books can be on any topic,
fiction or non-fiction; they
must be read between
January 1 and December
31, 2013. People can read
150 books individually, or
create teams to read 150
TRUTH OR TRADITION?
The Lord’s Supper #1
Divine Memorials. When God wanted His people
to remember His Promise never again to destroy the
world by water, He set a bow in the clouds. When
He wanted His people to remember His Protection, He
had them kill a Passover Lamb each year, to remind
them of how He had protected them from the last
plague brought upon Egypt, the death of the firstborn
son. When He wanted His people to remember His
Providence, He had them gather a pot of manna, to
remind them of how He had fed them during the forty
year wandering.
The Greatest Memorial. What kind or memorial
would be fitting for the greatest event in the history
of the word? What would be an appropriate way to
remember the greatest sacrifice ever made, the greatest man who ever lived, the one who did more than
any other to benefit more people, one whose life and
death has affected people of all races and cultures in
all ages of time? Somehow naming a bridge, highway, hospital, school, etc. all seem to limited and
inadequate. Such a memorial should be something
that people of all nations and all ages could observe
and be a part of.
The Institution. On the night of His betrayal
and arrest, Jesus had met in an upper room with
His apostles to observe the Passover for the last time,
and to institute the Lord’s Supper as a memorial for
His followers. Matthew records: “And as they were
eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it
and gave it to the disciples, and said, ‘Take, eat; this
is my body.’ And he took the cup, and gave thanks,
and gave it to them, saying, ‘Drink ye all of it. For
this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed
for many for the remission of sins.’” (Matt 26:26-28).
The Memorial. Unlike many memorials that are
carved in granite, Jesus takes two very perishable
items and establishes a memorial that has endured for
almost twenty centuries, and can be readily observed
by people around the globe. Bread is the staff of life
of every culture, and grapes can be grown on every
continent where folks dwell. So perishable, yet so
enduring!
The Elements. The unleavened bread, bread
without yeast to give it life, is a very fitting emblem
of the lifeless body of Christ as He hung on the cross.
The fruit of the vine, grape juice, pictures so beautifully
the blood that was shed in order to cleanse our sins.
The Observance. As we partake of this memorial,
we look downward as we break the bread and take the
cup, and we look upward to God in thanksgiving. We
look inward as we examine ourselves, and look outward as we commune together as a body of Christians.
We look backward through time as we remember His
suffering and sacrifice, but we also look forward as
we show the Lord’s death till He come.

Hello, Everyone!
How
do you
like the
snow??
I love it!
I know
that most of
you do not, but I think
it is beautiful. You
know the kids have
been doing their snow
dances because they
have enjoyed some
days off due to the
white fluffy stuff! Ha!
On the bright side, the
groundhog did NOT see
his shadow, so this will
all be over soon. We
hope!
Today is Super
Bowl Sunday and we
have been watching all
of the festivities for two
days leading up to kick
off. The commercials
this year have already
stirred controversy and
of course sparked conversation which is their
goal.
I, personally, love
the Budweiser commercials. They always
make me cry. This year
is no exception. If you
haven’t seen them yet,
you will understand
what I mean when you
do. I am writing this
earlier than normal so
that I can be free to
watch the whole game.
Let’s Go Ravens!!!
I know you have
seen the news about
the 5 year old little boy
being held hostage by a
man in Alabama. Obviously, this man is mentally ill. Having had
numerous altercations
with his neighbors and
a scheduled court date
the day that he killed
the hero bus driver and
grabbed this baby, this
man was a time bomb.
With the ongoing gun
debate on the minds
of most of us, there is
one common denominator in almost all of
these senseless acts,
mental illness. There
are many among us
who suffer from some
type of mental illness.
Most are not violent
but as these acts continue to become more
and more prevalent,
it is becoming clearer
that those who do have
these tendencies need
to be closely monitored.
The question is “how?”
I don’t pretend to have
an answer. I do know
that taking guns away
from law abiding citizens is not the answer.
Our government needs
to address this issue
first and come up with
reasonable solutions.
That, to me, should be
their focus.

PAT’S CHAT
Valentine’s
Day does
not get
q u i t e
the hype
as some
other holidays, but
it is great
to have a day when
love can be expressed
– something we don’t
always remember to do.
Sincere love from family
or friends is important
to our health and welfare; especially our children, young or older.
I want to tell those of
you who read my Chats
and let me know that
you like them – I love
you each one. Someone at church told me
that she loved the last
one (January 27, 2013)
and read the whole long
column to two different
people who live elsewhere. Another young
man insisted that I get

1 1/2 cups light
cream
1/4 cup parmesan

really not written by me.
Everyone loves to be appreciated. Express your
love and appreciation
for all those for whom
you feel this and make
Valentine’s Day more
special this year. You
don’t have to buy a card
or flowers – just say it to
them or write to them.
Or try a conference call
like me and my three
siblings do frequently!
Keep in touch with those
you love.
A friend of mine told
me about a Good Samaritan, a 13-year-old
girl who early in January
found a very considerable amount of money at
the Weston Wal-Mart in
an envelope along with
a Wal-Mart receipt. She
immediately took it to
the Manager and turned
it in, but he/she did not
even ask for her name,
which I think would
have been important.
Those whose money was
returned might like to
thank such an honest
child. With all the bad
publicity our children
get at times, it is rewarding to know that some
are raised with a moral
conscience. If you are
reading and perhaps
are the recipient of your
lost money, I can get her
contact information so
you can thank her yourself – just let me know. I
am thanking her for all
of us and thanking God
there are young people
like her.
I just had a very
special birthday! My
sister, Mary Ann Bucklew, and all my friends
made it special. A
yummy dinner at Mary
Ann’s with several dear
friends, with a pretty
cake and everything.
Libby Ferrell and I
watched some lovely
movies with Mary Ann
that come from Pixl on
Dish Network – sweet,
“feel-good” movies with
none of the violence,
bad language, etc., that
make for R ratings (or
even no advertisements)!
Tonight Sheri Sapp,
Mary Ann and I are going to Pizza Hut to spend
a gift card I got from my
son, Scott Bucklew and
family who live at Fenwick. I had great gifts
from some friends and
my other two children,
plus many, many cards
and several telephone
calls. It has eased the
pain of turning 79 and
hopefully my last year
of being 70 instead of
80 will be just as happy.
It is nearly 3:00
p.m. on Sunday and
the snow is still coming down! I hope our
groundhogs here in WV
and in PA are correct
and we will have an
early spring. I am ready
for it. I especially pray
for good weather in the
middle of March when
my daughter, Robin
Bucklew, along with the
feathered robins, will be
arriving. I am looking
forward to having her
here with me. My column and lots of other
things will change, I
believe. Robin makes
things happen that I am
just not good at doing.
Maranatha!

Hospital employee recognition
for them; and staff are
known to join hands in
prayer during times of
distress involving our
hospital, community
and nation. Coworkers frequently express
their concern for one
another by stating, “I’m
praying for you.” Truly
there is peace in knowing that others care
enough to pray; yet one
must be aware of another’s needs in order
to do so….
Brenda Cottrell
states, “Within a very
short time, I heard
several people asking
for prayer for patients
and family members.
God spoke to my heart
saying, ‘Ask Ben for
permission to put up a
prayer request board.’ I
did, Ben said yes, Julia ordered it and Rick
put it up.” Stephanie
Arden, LRTR, says,
“Brenda had this wonderful, heartfelt idea
that anyone who has
prayer requests can
list their names on
a dry erase board in
the Chapel for everyone’s prayers and support. Her request had
nothing to do with her
CNA duties, but simply
shows her compassion
for everyone. She is
a genuine loving person.” The quote above
suggests that we must
pray from the heart,
and the Bible reminds
us to, “Ask, and ye
shall receive.” Brenda
did just that, not for
herself but for others,
and we congratulate
her as the December
Artist of the Month.
She noted her appreciation to Ben Vincent
(Administrator), Julia
Rose (Med Surg Nurse
Manager), and Rick
Jarvis (Maintenance
Mechanic) for making
her idea become a reality.
Brenda has been
caring for patients as a
CNA for 25 years. She
joined the BCMH family in December 2009.

of 37 years, Troy, reside at Shock. Their

County Memorial Hospital is the only facility
to provide this level

Kim’s efforts in coordinating this process,
hospice patients receive care in a more

Although Kim is
attributed with organizing this procedure

Hospice Care, she
credits Julia Rose, Med

with helping accomplish the task. Kim
states, “I am only a
small part of the team
that worked to improve a system which
ultimately benefits our

Laboratory personnel
were very instrumental in the successful
implementation of this
new process.”

Braxton took a 10-point
lead after the first quarter and held an 18-point
advantage at halftime.
A 10-4 third quarter
cinched the win for the
Knights.
Coach Lauri Spencer, calling the game “a
good win,” attributed
the wide margin of victory to the fact that
the girls “did a nice job
finding the open girl.”
She also commended
the defense for “a nice
job of anticipating their
passes.”
Looking at the
8-point win over Glade,
Spencer said, “I really
like the way each girl
was willing to do whatever the team needed
for the win.” The coach
added, “Our guards did
a great job of pressuring
the ball.”
In the Glade game,
the Knights trailed by
two at halftime but came
out in the third to outscore the visiting team
and take a lead going
into the fourth. In the
final period, Braxton
held a 3-point edge to
take the win.

Coach Jerry
Frame, after commenting that his team

added, “Even though
we were sluggish, we
could have won both

Richwood “did a nice job

“We were able to play

cooled
2 teaspoons vanilla
extract
1/2 stick unsalted
butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup semisweet
dark chocolate, finely
chopped
Directions
In the bowl of an
electric mixer, dissolve
the powdered sugar and
water at low speed. Beat
in the dark chocolate
and vanilla. Add the
butter gradually in small
bits. Mix until everything
is completely incorporated. Using a spatula, fold
in the chopped chocolate
and give a final quick
spin.
Directions
Position an oven
rack in the center of the
oven and preheat the
oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, sift
together the flour, baking soda and salt; set
aside. In the bowl of an
electric mixer, cream the
butter and granulated
sugar until light and
fluffy. Add the cooled
chocolate and vanilla
and beat for 3 minutes
to incorporate. Beat in
the eggs one at a time.
Scrape down the sides
of the bowl and beat
for another 3 minutes.
Gradually mix in the
dry ingredients in three
batches, alternating
with the cold water.
Beat for 1 minute after
each addition to incorporate the ingredients.
Mix until the batter is
smooth.
Coat two 9-inch
round cake pans with
nonstick cooking spray.
Cut 2 circles of parchment paper to fit the
pan bottoms and place
them inside the pans;
then spray the paper
for added non-stick insurance. Pour the batter into the prepared
pans and smooth the
surface with a spatula;
the pans should be twothirds full. Bake for 30
to 35 minutes. The cake
is cooked when a toothpick inserted in the
center comes out clean
and the cake springs
back when touched.
Leave to cool for 40
minutes.
Turn the cakes out
of the pans and remove
the paper. Drizzle them
with a few tablespoons
of raspberry liqueur.
With a metal spatula,
spread 1/2 cup Chocolate Chip Buttercream
on top of one of the layers. Start in the center
and work your way out.
Carefully place the second layer on top. Smooth
the sides with buttercream, and then spread
the rest over the top so
that the cake is completely covered. Refrigerate for 5 minutes before
decorating or cutting.
With a large knife,
scrape some shavings
from a block of dark
chocolate. Scatter the
shavings over the cake.

Lady Eagles go 1-1 on week
After a 60-43 win at
Webster last Wednesday
night, the Lady Eagles saw
themselves outscored 4640 at Gilmer later in the
week. With two weeks of
regular-season play left,
Braxton has three games
this week. The following
week, they will host Lewis
County at the Armory for
Senior Night on Feb. 11.
Following a lackluster
6-6 first quarter against the
Lady Highlanders, the Lady
Eagles came out to score 28
points in the second quarter to take a commanding
lead into halftime. “I don’t
know what changed the
girls’ attitude, but they
came out really strong
in the second quarter to
build a substantial lead
going into the second half,”
head coach Keith Greene
said. In that second half,
the Lady Highlanders outscored Braxton 28-26 but
couldn’t make up the difference.
The Eagles shot 50
percent from the foul line
while the Highlanders were
21 of 36 in free throws.
Coach Greene pointed out
that almost half of Webster’s points came at the
line instead of from the
field. “Our girls play aggressive ball, and they do commit fouls,” he said, adding
“Webster shot well from the
line against us.”
Leading Braxton’s
scoring, Hunter Sodaro
poured in 25 points. Other
scoring in that game included Baylee Stewart with
3, Anne Golinsky 4, Caitlyn
Rhodes 5, Taylor Bragg 5,
Logan Frame 4, Jasmine
Valdivieso 4, Emily Harper 2, and Alyssa Riffle 9.
Greene pointed out that his
bench scored 20 points and

Eagles Down Wirt, Lose to Webster
Going 1-1 last
week, the Eagles’ varsity squad defeated Wirt
57-52 in a home game
for Braxton but lost 5638 at Webster.
Eagles’ coach
Josh Lunceford commented that his team
“is shooting somewhat
better from the floor”
and added, “They shot
extremely well from the
line against Webster.”
Braxton made 42 percent of their two-point
attempts and made 79
percent of their free
throw attempts in the
Webster game.
The Eagles were up
by six at halftime and
led most of the game.
The only quarter they
lost was the fourth.
Coach Lunceford mentioned two players as
playing key roles in the
win.
“Trae Stout played
a really good ball game,”
the coach said. Stout
led the team’s scoring
with 18 points. He also
pointed out Greg Bly
“sank two free throws
late in the game to ice
the win.” Braxton was
up by three with 25
seconds to go when
Bly went to the line. He
made both shots.
The loss at Webster followed the Highlanders’ building a
10-point first quarter
lead. Braxton won the
second quarter, but
could not keep pace
with Webster through
the second half. With 12
points, McKinley Moore
led the Eagles’ scoring
at Webster.
Looking at the rest
of the season, Coach
Lunceford said, “We
should have some wins
coming to us since the
team is playing substantially better.” This
week, Braxton has three
conference games. Tonight the Eagles travel
to Wirt. Tomorrow night
they play Roane in a
game scheduled for 6
p.m., and they will host
Gilmer Friday night.

Coach Green said, “The first
quarter, when we came up
with only two points, killed
us. We did have a turnaround in the second and
a decent third, but Gilmer
turned up the heat in the
fourth for the win.” Braxton’s coach mentioned that
Gilmer “also got second and
third shots in the fourth.”
With 12 rebounds,
Golinsky led the Lady Eagles, who pulled down a
total of 40 in the game.
On the other side of the
coin, Braxton committed 26
turnovers.
This week sees the
Lady Eagles, after a home
game against Lincoln last
night, hosting Webster
Wednesday night. The Webster game, Braxton’s coach
emphasized, is an important one since Webster is
a sectional opponent. On
Thursday, both the Braxton varsity and jv girls will
play in the LKC consolation
game, but the location had
not been decided at press
time. Senior Night is set for
Feb. 11.

Knights Go 1-1 on Week, Now 11-4
After going up 10-0
against Richwood, the
Knights went on to take
a 30-14 win in their first
game last week. “With that
strong start, we had no
problem leading throughout the game,” coach Gary
Rexroad said.
After Glade won 4742 against the Knights
later in the week, Coach
Rexroad said simply, “We
beat ourselves.” He went
on to explain that his team
“was up 15-6 at the end of
the first quarter but simply went cold.” The coach
also mentioned “poor foul
shooting,” citing a 7 for 18
performance at the line. He
did, however, say, “Glade
has a really good team with
only three losses on our
side of the conference” and
went on to note, “Our side
of the conference is evenly
matched so tournament
action should be competitive.”
The CWVAC tournament finals are set for the
Braxton County Armory
on Feb. 22-23. The first
round of the tournament
will be on Monday and
Tuesday, Feb. 18-19, but
those games will be played
at individual schools.

West Virginia’s late season
hunting opportunities
Late winter presents
an often-overlooked opportunity for hunters in
the Mountain State, according to Jeff McCrady,
district wildlife biologist
with the West Virginia
Division of Natural Resources. Rabbit, grouse,
fox, bobcat and raccoon
are in season through the
end of February.
“For many
hunters, this is the most
enjoyable time to be
afield,” McCrady said.
“The holidays are long
past and people just seem
to have more time to get
outside and hunt.”

The day that I enrolled for classes my
freshman year of high
school changed my life.
That might seem like a
pretty dramatic statement but it is true. That
is the day a mustached
man asked me, ‘Brad
how is your dad getting
along?’ That man was
John Frazier.
Mr. Frazier is
a teacher at Braxton
County High School,
walking text book of
local history, avid outdoorsman and overall
great guy. The entire
four years of high school
this man played a role in
my life that helped keep
me in the woods and on
trout streams instead of
getting into trouble. I
will be grateful to him as
long as I have my right
mind. Mr. Frazier, or as
I called him, ‘Fraz’, never
had any kids of his own.
That fact, along with
the fact he had summers free as a teacher,
allowed him to basically
take me to raise over the
summer from the time I
was 16 until I was about
25. Though the man is
a fantastic instructor
in a school; he taught
me so much more in
the classrooms on Slaty
Fork, Williams River and
the hollows of Lewis and
Braxton County.
I have always loved
dogs. The only dogs my
parents had when I was
a kid were nothing but
pets. They were a variety of breeds but that is
all they were, just pets.
One breed that I was always particularly fond of
was the beagle. I knew
they were hunting dogs
but I never had a ‘rabbit
beagle’. Fraz had a few
of them and took me rabbit hunting with him. It
fascinated me how that
dog could put its nose
on the ground and know
when a rabbit had been
there and if it was recent
enough to be worth pursuing. The two of us put
hundreds of miles on his
vehicles going from one
brush covered hollow to
another. Again, being
the constant teacher,
Fraz was always telling
me how beagles worked.
He would explain to me
the differences in things
they all specialized in
and how a pack was
like a family and they
were always working
together with one goal
in common. It always
fascinated me how he
could have so much passion for those tri colored
yodelers and what they
did. That is until I got
my first rabbit beagle.
Toby, as my mom
named him, was purchased from JC Wayne
around the middle of
March the year 2000.
He was a clumsy, long
legged ball of black white
and tan fur. The minute I laid eyes on him I
knew he was the one for
me. He was your typical
tri-colored beagle with a
white blaze between his
eyes and the rest of his
cinder block like head
covered with red. I paid
Mr. Wayne the $50 and
I drove off with my dog.
This began a relationship
that lasted up until the
time I got married, my
son was born and then
some. Mr. Frazier guided
me in taking this big
goofy puppy that I loved
so much into a dog that
loved to chase cotton
tails. Watching this process is the greatest joy
for me in having a beagle.
Every beagle I have ever
seen that is worth his/
her salt, whole heartedly
believes that every bird
on a brush pile or dragon
fly on a limb is really a
rabbit in disguise.
That puppy of mine
finally developed into
quite the rabbit runner.
There is no way to count
the rabbits that dog actually chased but I know
it was in the thousands.
Around the age of 4, Toby
did something that many
hunters will never have
the privilege of seeing.
My dad, my brotherin-law Mike Loving and I
were again at that all too
familiar farm in Heaters
that belonged to Morrison Clark. It was one
of those days in February that reminds you
that spring is not too far
away. It was sunny and
beautiful. There was not
a cloud in the bright blue
sky and the high that day
was right around 55.
The snow that was
left over was on its last
leg in the deepest shaded
hollows. The three of us
were making plans as
to what our next move
would be when my female
beagle, Trixie, let rip her
famous ‘yyyyoooooooooo’
bawl as she had once
again found a track she
deemed warm enough to
pursue. Toby chimed in
and the chase was on.
Follow me for just one
minute as I do my best to
give you a crash course
on rabbit hunting. The
‘jump’ is the spot the
rabbit is sitting when the
dogs find him and begin
to chase him. The dogs
do not chase the rabbit
by sight (at least not far)
but by scent. The rabbit
naturally will run in a
circle. For that reason,
the hunter should go to
the jump spot as the rabbit will be back by there.
The beagle that is chasing the rabbit will give
you an idea as to where
he/she is at by ‘striking’
or barking on the track.
Depending on the speed
of your hound, you will
have a real good idea
where the rabbit is by
listening to the striking.
Toby was fairly fast on
the track and because
of that, the rabbit had
very little time for sitting
around. The area where
the chase was occurring
was on a brushy hillside
and the three of us were
spread out in a row in
an attempt to see the
greatest amount of territory. A sudden boom
from Mike’s shotgun
and the chase was over.
The work however was
just about to begin. The
spot Mike had taken the
shot in was one of the
thickest patches of green
briars and blackberry
briars grown together I
have ever seen. Someone had to go in after it
and it was not gonna be
me. I trained the dogs.
I fed them. I was not
about to fight through
those cursed thorns.
Dad and Mike stood debating and after a couple
minutes Dad decided
he would go in. Just as
Dad had taken a step or
two into the thicket, my
beagles emerged from it
a few steps behind him.
Toby had picked that
rabbit up and was bringing it to my hand. I have
heard people say, ‘I saw
it but I didn’t believe it’,
but I really did see it, I
just did not believe it. He
strutted down that path
with his head held high
making the proudest
gate I had ever seen. The
sun was hitting right on
him and his coat shined
like a new penny. It really was a scene out of a
movie. I kneeled down
and took it from him and
commenced to tell him
how great he was and
what a good boy and just
how proud I was of him.
The rest of that day, a
fat boy floated about a
foot off the ground out
of sheer pride.
If I had a nickel for
every rabbit that dog
brought to my hand after
that I could buy a nice
pair of hunting boots.
I lost my Toby the 29th
of November, 2011 after
a bout with cancer. He
has been gone over a
year and here I sit, typing a story about him
with tears streaming
down my face. I may
never have another rabbit dog like ole Toby
again and honestly, I
am fine with that. The
part that I am not fine
with is knowing that no
matter how long I live, I
will never have another
friend like that.
HUNTING
a rabbit or a field mouse
work well to attract fox,
bobcat and coyote this
time of year. While predators may be a little easier
to call in during February,
hunters still need to be
mindful of wind direction
and remain well hidden
to increase their success.
“With all of
West Virginia’s late season hunting opportunities, there is no reason
for a case of cabin fever,”
McCrady said. “Success
can’t be guaranteed, but
fresh air and exercise are
certainly available this
time of year.”
Tales from
the brush…
By Brad Shingler
February can be a
great time for the serious rabbit hunter. There
is less vegetation to obscure vision, the ground
is usually damp enough
to hold scent well and
the weather is generally
cool enough to keep the
beagles from getting overheated. Grouse hunters
enjoy late season outings
for the same reasons. The
final weeks of February
will be the last chance to
hunt with their dogs until
next fall.
Raccoons are
generally not very active
during cold, winter nights;
however, a warm spell
can change everything. As
the harsh winter weather
begins to diminish and
the days become longer,
raccoons become more
active. Raccoon hunters
should remain vigilant
through the end of the
season.
Predators,
such as fox, bobcat and
coyote, are susceptible
to varmint calls during
the winter months. The

Braxton County WIC office to moved to Gassaway
Braxton County WIC,
the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for
Women, Infants and Children, has relocated their
office to better serve the
needs of the community.
This move comes after
serving the community for
the past 19 years, out of
the former office adjacent
to the Braxton County
Health Department. The
newly remodeled office is
centrally located on Enterprise Drive in Gassaway,
behind Pizza Hut and
beside The Works Salon
& Spa. This new facility
offers WIC participants
and their families a more
spacious, welcoming environment to receive quality
nutrition and breastfeeding counseling and education; as well as health
monitoring and nutritious
foods.
“We are very excited
about the changes that
are taking place within
the WIC Program, and are
looking forward to providing the same quality service to our clients in our
new modern facility,” April
Lloyd, Central WV WIC
Program Director stated.
The WIC Program
provides nutrition and
health education as well
as other services free of
charge to pregnant women, postpartum women,
infants and children up to
the age of five. Providing
you with basic, healthy
food assures that your
family is getting the nutrition needed during critical
times of growth and development.
Foods such as milk,
cheese, eggs, juice, peanut butter, cereal, infant
foods, fresh fruits and
fresh vegetables are made
available for your family.
WIC is for all kinds
of families: married and
single parents, working or
not working. If you are a
father, mother, grandparent, foster parent, or other
legal guardian of a child
under five, you can apply
for WIC.

ANNUAL DRINKING WATER QUALITY REPORT 2011
Burnsville Public Utility
P.O. BOX 306 • Burnsville, WV 26335
(304) 853-2516
January 10, 2013
PWSID No: 3300408
Why am I receiving this report?
In compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments,
the Burnsville Public Utility is providing its customers with this
annual water quality report. This report explains where your water
comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards
set by regulatory agencies. The information in this report shows the
results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December
31st, 2012 or earlier if not on a yearly schedule.
If you have any questions concerning this report, you may contact
Donny Ratliff at 304-853-2516. If you have any further questions, comments or suggestions, please attend any of our regularly
scheduled water board meetings held on the 2nd Wednesday of
every month at 6:00 PM in the Burnsville Public Utility Office at
54 Buckeye Alley.
Where does my water come from?
Your water source is surface water from the Little Kanawha
River.
Source Water Assessment
A Source Water Assessment was conducted West Virginia
Bureau for Public Health (WVBPH). The intake that supplies drinking
water to the Burnsville Public Utility has a higher susceptibility to
contamination, due to the sensitive nature of surface water supplies
and the potential contaminant sources identified within the area.
This does not mean that this intake will become contaminated; only
that conditions are such that the surface water could be impacted
by a potential contaminant source.Future contamination may be
avoided by implementing protective measures. The source water
assessment report which contains more information is available for
review or a copy will be provided to you at our office during normal
business hours or from the WVBPH @ 304-558-2981.
Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline @ 800-426-4791.
WATER QUALITY DATA TABLE
Definitions of terms and abbreviations used in the table or report
MCLG - Maximum Contaminant Level Goal or the level of contaminant
in drinking water below which there is no known or expected risk to health.
MCLGs allow for a margin of safety.
MCL - Maximum Contaminant Level, or the highest level of contaminant
that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to the MCLGs as
feasible using the best available treatment techniques.
MRDLG - Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal, or the level of
drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected
risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect benefits of use of disinfectants to
control microbial contaminants.
MRDL - Maximum Residual Detection Level, or the highest level of
disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that
addition of disinfectant is necessary to control microbial contaminants.
AL-Action Level,or the cncentration of a contaminant, which, when
exceeded, triggers treatment or other requirements which a water system
must follow.
TT - Treatment Technique, or required process intended to reduce the
level of contaminant in drinking water.
Abbreviations that may be found in the table:
ppm - parts per million or milligrams per liter
ppb - parts per billion or micrograms per liter
NTU - Nephelometric Turbidity Unit, used to measure cloudiness in water.
NE - Not established
N/A - Not applicable
The Burnsville Public Utility routinely monitors for contaminants in
your drinking water according to federal and state laws. The tables below
show the results of our monitoring for contaminants.
Why must water be treated?

Turbidity
Contaminants In Water
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes
regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water
provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits
of contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same
protection for public health.Drinking water, including bottled water,
may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of
some contaminants. The presence of these contaminants does not
necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information
about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by
calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water
Hotline @ 800-426-4791.
The source of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) includes
rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water
travels over the surface of land or through the ground, it dissolves
naturally-occurring minerals, and in some cases radioactive material.
It can even pick up substances resulting from the presence of
animals or from human activity.
