Board of Education
Discusses Questions
About School Bond
Here We Go Again
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
• What will happen if the $21.5
million school bond fails?
The question seems to be on the
minds of many Hardy County voters
these days.
The Hardy County Board of Education will ask Hardy County voters
to approve a $21.5 million bond to
build a new Moorefield High School
and significantly renovate East
Hardy High School. The West Virginia School Building Authority will
contribute another $21.5 million for
the projects. The bond call will be
included on the May 8 Primary Election ballot.
“First of all, the state won’t come
in and fix these schools,” Superintendent Barbara Whitecotton said.
“The only way the state will come
and take over a school system is if the
system is dysfunctional.”
The West Virginia Office of Education Performance Audits would
evaluate the school system, remove
the superintendent and nullify the
Board of Education’s authority to
make decisions for the system. “If it is
determined that we need a new
school, they will squeeze the budget
to pay for it,” Whitecotton said.
Whitecotton gave the example of
Gilmer County, which had a number
of serious issues, including failing
facilities.
According to the WVOEPA
report filed in June 2011, “The facility conditions at Troy Elementary
School, Sand Fork Elementary
School and Normantown Elementary School are critical in nature. The
Normantown (Elementary School)
building has been condemned and
the students are housed in portable
classrooms.”
The WVOEPA recommended
state intervention on a number of

Drug Task Force Arrests Two
On Feb. 23, the Hardy County
Drug Task Force, consisting of members of the Wardensville and Moorefield Police departments and the
Hardy County Sheriff’s Office,
received an anonymous tip that a
clandestine drug lab was being operated adjacent to Poplar Avenue in
Moorefield.

Gas prices have risen to $4 a gallon in eastern Hardy County. Speculators cite tensions in the
Middle East and refinery shut-downs for the earlier than usual jump in prices. Last year prices
in Hardy County didn’t hit the $4 mark until May. By October, the cost of a gallon of regular gas
had fallen to $3.53.

When Amy G. Hartinger, 32, of
Wardensville came before Circuit
Court Judge Donald H. Cookman
for arraignment on Feb. 8, her court
appointed attorney said he had a
conflict of interest and couldn’t represent Hartinger. Cookman canvassed other attorneys in the courtroom, all of whom said they also had
conflicts.
Hartinger acted as a police
informant last year, buying drugs
from various people in the Wardensville community. When those
people were arrested they were
assigned court-appointed attorneys,
who obviously couldn’t represent
Hartinger.
Cookman had no choice but to
postpone Hartinger’s arraignment
until proper counsel could be found.
Hartinger was arraigned on
Wednesday, Feb. 15 on two separate
indictments. The first charged her
with one count of delivery of a Schedule II controlled substance, namely
cocaine and one count of uttering
(passing) a forged writing.
Court documents show Hartinger
sold cocaine to Keith Hockman in
December 2011.
According to court records, a
store owner in Hardy County called
the Sheriff’s office to say he had
received a forged check. The store
owner said Hartinger had asked to
cash a third-party check for $60.
When the store owner was preparing
his deposits for the day, he noticed
the check had been changed to $160.
When the sheriff’s deputy contacted
the owner of the checks, they said
they were stolen.
The second indictment charges
Hartinger with one count of obtain-

Wardensville Council Votes
To Support School Bond
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
Two Arraigned in Circuit
Court on Felony Indictments
surrounded the area and arrested
two men, Charles Ludwig and Paul
Kidwell, both of Moorefield.
Police found meth amphetamine
on Ludwig and the remains of a clandestine drug lab on the bank of the
South Branch Potomac River.
Both men were arraigned by
Magistrate Shawna Crites and are
currently in the Potomac Highlands
“Even if you don’t have children
in the school system, Hardy County
needs quality schools to attract businesses and new families,” observed
Wardensville Mayor Tracey “Scotty”
Miller.
The Wardensville Council voted
to support the School Bond Issue at a
special meeting held Monday, Feb.
27. The meeting was called to discuss
the FY 2013 budget, but Councilman
Michael Funkhouser provided information about the bond for the benefit of the council. Funkhouser is also
a teacher at East Hardy High School.
The Hardy County Board of Education will propose a $21.5 million
bond to the voters of Hardy County
on the May 8 Primary Election ballot.
The bond will pay for half the cost of
rebuilding Moorefield High School
and significantly renovating East
Hardy High School. The West Virginia School Building Authority will
contribute the remaining 50
percent.
The Wardensville Council will
send a letter of support to the Hardy

Court records show that
Hartinger and Donna L. Bowman of
Baker initiated a scheme to obtain
money from the Salvation Army.
Bowman posed as Hartinger’s landlord and wrote a letter saying
Hartinger would be evicted if she did
not pay back rent. Hartinger submitted the letter to the Salvation Army
who sent a check for $2,550 to Bowman.
Bowman was indicted on the
same charges and arraigned on Feb.
8.
Hartinger pleaded guilty to all
charges.
Laura D. Bernard, 45, of Moorefield was indicted on one count of

budgeting process for the benefit of
council as well as candidates for
council, who were present at the
meeting. “While we don’t have a
great deal to spend, it’s important
that we spend it wisely,” he said.
The town separates funds into
five different accounts - General
Fund, Water, Sewer, Parks and Community Center. The Park, including
the pool, and the Community Center,
which includes the library, fitness
center, are Enterprise Zones where
all revenue and expenses are kept
separate from the general fund.
Sayers will present a formal

included on the June ballot.
Sayers also said he would look
into the salaries paid to council members in similar towns. He reported
that council members in Moorefield
and Romney are paid $100 per meeting and council members in Capon
Bridge, Franklin and Ridgeley are
paid $75 per meeting.
A motion was made and passed to
increase the Wardensville council
salaries from $40 to $75 beginning
next year. This does not include the
mayor or recorder’s salary.
A public hearing regarding the
increase will be held at the next regular council meeting.
Other Business
Elections and Salaries
At the last meeting, Sayers proposed changing the town’s election
process to coincide with the county’s
Primary elections.
Currently, the Town of Wardensville elects a Mayor, Recorder
and five-member Council every two
years. The elections are held in June.
Sayers proposed increasing the
terms of all public offices to four
years and to schedule elections on
the day of the Primary Election in
May.

OPINION
Want to Live to 100?
The US News & World Report recently listed eleven
health habits which could help you live to be 100 years of age.
You’ve probably noticed a number of men and women who
are being honored for reaching that milestone, many more
than there used to be. You’ve probably also heard/read that
it all depends on your genes. However, the publication says
not true, it’s all in “how well you live.”
A couple of years ago a study was published in the British
Medical Journal involving 20,000 people. It was shown that
stroke risks could be cut in half by doing four things: being
active 30 minutes a day, eat five daily servings of fruit and
vegetables, avoid cigarettes and an excess of alcohol.
We’ve been told all those things before, but the story goes
on to say that people can live actively into their 90s by just
following some additional suggestions. All these suggestions
have been researched and show that they are beneficial to
your health and well-being.
Don’t retire. Floss every day. Move around. Eat a fiberrich cereal for breakfast. Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night.
Eat whole foods, not supplements. Be less neurotic. Live
like a Seventh Day Adventist. Be a creature of habit. Stay
connected. Be conscientious.
Sound simple, don’t they? Sort of like “All I Really Need
to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” by Robert Fulghum.
And that’s the beauty of the suggestions.
Don’t retire doesn’t mean that you have work a 40 hour a
week job till you’re really, really, really old. It means that
when you do retire from a job, find things to do be it garden
or volunteer.
Flossing? Keeps bacteria from migrating from your
mouth to your bloodstream.
Moving around? You don’t have to run marathons, but
walking, yoga, and other simple exercises can be beneficial.
The fiber rich cereal? Whole grains are good for you in
the morning and help lower the incidence of diabetes. Same
with eating the whole foods instead of taking supplements.
Fruits and vegetables have more of the nutrients that are
good for you. Seventh Day Adventists have a life expectancy
of 89, about 10 longer than the average American. They take
care of themselves, don’t smoke, don’t abuse alcohol and in
many cases are vegetarians.
Being less neurotic just means don’t worry so much about
things you can’t control. Breathe deeply, or take yoga or try
tai chi and life will be easier. People who go to bed and get
up at the same time know that being habitual keeps them on
an even keel.
Stay in touch. The study shows that being sociable is good
for your health. So visit, talk, have lunch, shop or whatever
with other friends and loved ones. They are the ones who
will help keep you from becoming depressed.
And finally, the study showed those who are prudent, persistent and well organized will live longer, be more satisfied
with their jobs and probably be happier in their marriages.
There you have it. Nearly a dozen simple tenets to live by
in order to live long. You don’t have to spend a lot of money,
just be sensible, take care of yourself and enjoy life.

ESTABLISHED
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Dear Editor:
I believe that many of your readers will agree that we seem to be witnessing an undeclared war on Christianity. Yet, tolerance toward a
religion that is by no means a religion
of peace tends to be the order of the
day in this country and has been over
the past couple of years. This same
religion is intolerant of women and
children and believes in killing everyone who does not submit to Islam. A
Christian Pastor in Iran who converted from Islam will surely be put
to death for his Christian beliefs and
while there have been requests to
save his life from some western countries, we can almost be sure that the
Mullahs will have the final word.
God only knows what will happen to
his wife and children but you can be
sure the end result will not be pleasant. Yet, just recently the President of
the United States apologized to the
President of Afghanistan when it was
alleged that some Korans had been
burned on a U.S. Military base in that
country. It certainly would be nice if
the President of Afghanistan would
apologize to the taxpayers of this
country for taking our money and
using it for who knows what, wouldn’t
it? Sorry, folks, but I just haven’t
mastered the art of being politically
correct!
Nevertheless, let me say that I am
very pleased that the Catholic
Church has finally decided to challenge those at the top on what I shall
refer to as the “Contraceptive Mandate.” I believe there were also some
Jewish Rabbis who supported the

Churches in this country should
be able to access government funds
to provide social services without
oversight from the government. If
this country can send billions of dollars in foreign aid without oversight
to countries who hate us, why do our
churches have to submit to government regulations? Churches have
been providing social services since
the beginning of time and have done
a far better job that most Social Services Agencies do today. Trust me, I
know about the social services or lack
thereof that are being provided to the
tune of billions of dollars without any
data to support much if any success.

It also caught most dust. Parallel
too and about twenty feet East of
main unpaved farm entrance road,
every passing vehicle stirred small
clouds of dust on best clothes drying
days. Mom’s prohibition of strong
language was sorely tested when
unexpected visiting trucks rolled past
her wash without slowing. Hay and
silage hauling days were not laundry
days at the Heishman’s. Big line
came down a year or so ago when
well drillers arrived to give Big House
a reliable water source again.
Back when porch lines came
down I planned new ones. Reels.
Wind them up when not in use. No
cheap pot metal Walmart reels for
Big House though. I got Chester
Tharp to turn out four spool cores of
solid pine on his lathe.
Perhaps a month ago, I finally finished all the parts. Spools, with
perimeter holes, a short dowel
through the holes locks spool to
frame to stretch lines tight. Wood
spindles through holes in side frames
which are screwed to a solid mounting board. Steel hairpin clips through
spindle ends hold all moving parts in
place.
Last Saturday, I assembled them
and put them up. Screwed to the wall
head high. Pig tight and bull strong.
Loaded them with new quarter inch
cotton wrapped clothesline.
Problems. Clothesline loading
was slow and cumbersome. Needed a
spindle crank. I made one out of half
inch PVC pipe. Works great. Plastic
cranks on solid wood reels will never
do. I’ll make wooden cranks first
chance I get.
Spool lock dowels tend to roll off
the porch when dropped while operating reel cranks. I’ll tie drilled pins
to spool frames with twine so they’ll
dangle handy while cranking and
reloading line. Twine will secure
short dowels which lock lines to posts
at far end of the porch too.
I’m proud of my new clothesline
reels even if they might be the dumbest damn thing I’ve wasted time on
lately. Big House has clotheslines
again, but she doesn’t have a washing
machine.

MY UNBASED OPINION
Big House has clotheslines again.
It had several all my life while Mom
lived, but recent events saw the
demise of last one.
There was the short line, maybe
twenty five feet long, from back
porch post to big Bitternut Hickory
tree. It burned to a dusty crisp in
March, 1985, when lightning struck
the tree. Pap had just died in July, 84
and when the lightning struck I told
Mom not to worry, because Pap
couldn’t take the old place with him
so he was just coming back after it.
When she laughed, I knew she’d be
alright. At any rate, the line was gone
and Mom decided she didn’t need it
anymore anyway.
Big House’s back porch, had twin
lines stretched its full length, hanging
from slotted boards attached to
beams above the ceiling. Forty feet
lines, their heights adjustable so no
clothes pole was needed to hang curtains or sheets. Laundry hanging
under porch roof was protected from
unexpected showers.
Mom didn’t hang out there
though unless she had to. She liked
full sun on her clothes, porch only got

morning sun, and line nearest the
railing got all of it. When Mom left
Big House, cats and dogs left with
her. Dogs kept garden grabbing
groundhogs away and cats had kept
birds off the porch clothesline. Without cats, back porch developed twin
parallel lines of bird poop full length.
I took lines down to reduce porch
scrubbing.
Big line at North end of Big
House stretched seventy-five feet
between the tall dinner bell post
beside chimney and well house to a
solid set, wire braced, sawed locust
post by farm’s central electric pole.
A light weight post half way along
took out most of the sag. Right out
where it caught full sun and wind all
day long, that line saw most laundry

awaken from a long, long sleep and
realize that we can no longer sit idly

the freedom to wear a hijab and

able to erect a Nativity Scene wherever we choose and this does include
Government Buildings and the lawn

Local Author Uses Lusitania 2012 Tri-County Fair Junior
Disaster as Setting for Novel Livestock Weigh-ins Scheduled
[email protected]
By Jean A. Flanagan
Moorefield Examiner
On May 7, 1915, the RMS Lusitania was sunk, supposedly by a German submarine off the coast of Ireland. The luxury ocean liner had left
New York for Liverpool with 1,959
people on board, 159 of whom were
Americans.
While the United States had not
officially entered World War I, it was
believed the Lusitania was carrying
munitions to Britain.
Fisher resident Nick Korolev has
taken the sinking of the Lusitania as
the setting for an historical novel
about the disaster entitled “Dark
Waters.”
“I’m a history buff,” Korolev said.
“Especially maritime history. I grew
up in New Jersey and come from a
boating family.”
Korolev tells the tale from the
perspective of the captain of the lusitania and others on the ill-fated ship,
as well as the perspective of the German U-boat captain and the head
torpedo mechanic.
“I wanted to write a balanced
story,” he said. “Our history can be a
bit one-sided.”
Korolev did a great deal of historical research about the lusitania and
her sister ship, the Mauretania. Both
were passenger ships that could easily be transformed for military use.
The ships were almost identical and
the Mauretania had already been

faith should have to scrape for pennies to provide services to its congregants who are in need of basic services such as food, shelter, and heat.
Churches can provide excellent social
services far less expensively than the
programs administered by government agencies. I say it’s time for
Christians in this country to stand up
and fight the battle for equal rights or
else more and more liberties will be

leaders who believe as we do and

escape and cause a wildfire or forest
fire will be subject to fines ranging
from $100 to $1,000. An additional
civil penalty of $200 also will be
assessed.
The only daytime burning that is
allowed during fire season is that done
by public utilities and people burning
in conjunction with commercial, manufacturing, mining or like activi-
ties. This type of commercial burning
requires a burning permit that costs
$125 and is issued by a local Division
of Forestry office. A permit is
required for each site where this type
of burning is taking place.
Private landowners burning during
the course of agricultural activities
must have a permit to burn during the
day, but are exempt from the $125
permit fee.

Hello, my name is Shawna M.
Crites, and I am seeking election to
the position of Magistrate of Hardy
County. From January 1990 until
March 30, 2011, I was the Magistrate
Assistant to Daniel M. Poling.
After Magistrate Poling retired, the
Honorable Judge Donald H. Cookman appointed me to fulfill the position of Magistrate. For over 21
years, I have served the citizens of
Hardy County as Magistrate Assistant and I have truly enjoyed meeting
and working with each and every one
of you.
I grew up and went to school in
Hardy County with the love and support of my parents, Shirley Helman
Crites and Lemuel Steven Crites. My
parents taught me over the years that
hard work, dedication, and respect
for others are the most important values a person can have. I graduated
from Moorefield High School in
1984 as Shawna M. Helman and mar-
ried Rodney M. Crites of Rig, WV.
Rodney and I have been married for
27 years and we have one daughter,
Raven. Raven is married to George
Hoke of Rio, WV. He is currently in
the Air Force and they reside in
Florida with our granddaughter,
Saydee. Rodney and I attend Rig
Assembly of God Church.
I did not attend college until I was
in my thirties. At that time, I enrolled
at Shepherd College in Petersburg,
WV. I attended classes in Petersburg,
Martinsburg, and Romney, WV. I
have taken several college courses in
Criminal Justice and Juvenile Delinquency and attended Magistrate
Assistant and Magistrate training
through the West Virginia Supreme
Court.
For over 21 years, I have served
the citizens of Hardy County and
have tried to do so with respect and
fairness. I loved my position as Magistrate Assistant and I love being a

I love historical mysteries. Some
are like the one I heard tonight as I
visited in a funeral home in Petersburg. Starting with that famous old
expression “rumor has it…”, I was
informed that it was an old legend
with a long-established family in the
Rough Run-Deep Spring area of
Grant County involving a famous (or
infamous) person of the West.
As it was shared with me, one of
the few pastimes of the men in that
isolated rural community was for the
men on a Sunday afternoon to
engage in a shooting-match. Often
the expression was “shooting
mark.” The story goes that on one
of these occasions, the men had gathered with their rifles to shoot and see
who would carry off the title for that
Sunday outing.
As they were getting organized, a
stranger joined the group and asked
if he could participate. Sizing him
up, the marksmen thought it would
be all right to add new blood to the
shooting pool.
However, they
quickly posed a very legitimate and
important question, “Where’s your
rifle?” The stranger replied, “I don’t
have a rifle with me. Would you
mind if I would use my pistol?”
Probably marksmen could imagine the snickering and smiles that
abounded as the regulars from the
neighborhood agreed that the
stranger could use his pistol if that
was his wish. The outcome—the
stranger and his pistol won the
match, hands down. Now the
beauty, and the mystery of this local
legend, is that family descendants to
this day attest to the belief that this
visiting shooter was none other than
Frank James, one of the James
Brothers.
Will I ever be able to prove this
story by factual data? Likely not, but
several years ago I wrote about the
legend that just across Middle Moun-
tain, to the west, is a Grant County
family who will swear confidentially
that they possess a pistol given to
them by Frank James on a visit to this
area.
I won’t persist in rumor-mongering, but last year I wrote in columns
for the Pendleton Times that there is
a sizable contingent of persons connected to the Smoke Hole area who
believe that John Dellinger spent
considerable time there and even is
reputed to have buried some of his
ill-gotten gains in a cave.
Strangely, I have not heard many
of these types of rumors from Hardy
County, but I feel sure they are out
there. I just haven’t talked with the
right sources.
I closed last week’s article with
this teaser, which is more the type of
mystery which comes my way: “Next
week—more adventures, including
trying to learn about one Thomas
Wilson who was born about 1851 and
in 1860 lived in Wardensville with the
Hopewell.” Sadly, no information
has come from that rather broad cast
for information, but let me share just
how these things unfold.
A few weeks ago I received a letter from a gentlemen in South Elgin,
Illinois.
Here is the complete note: “Hello
Mr. Garber. I enjoy your articles on
West Virginia’s past. Sorry to bother
you. Would you know a good family
researcher in Hardy County? Our
great grandfather was living there in
1860, born around 1851. ‘Thomas
Wilson’, living with the Hopewell
family. We know nothing about
him. Thank you for your interesting
articles and any recommendation.
Stephen Wilson.”
Being forever the optimist, I
emailed Mr. Wilson and told him
that I would dig a little before he
turned this over to a professional
researcher.
BY
HAROLD D.
GARBER
Using Mr. Wilson’s clues (and
probably the source he based this on)
I immediately went to Ancestry.com
and typed in the name “Thomas Wilson.”
There were immediate results
and Thomas and two other Wilsons
appeared in the household #338,
family #343, District 1, Post-Office:
Wardensville. The enumerator is
John Chipley and the enumeration
was done on June 23, 1860.
Although I am no expert on leaders of the Wardensville community in
1860, this family must be chronicled
in some family tree I haven’t had an
opportunity to review. The head of
the household is John W. Hopewell,
age 44, with his wife, Annie M., age
37, and four children, Lottie, John,
Rebecca and Mary. The reason I
feel that Mr. Hopewell likely left his
mark and a family tree is that the real
estate and personal property were
significant for 1860. He is listed as a
farmer with real estate valued at
$20,000 and personal property worth
$3,500.
For those of you expert on the history of Wardensville, this name might
help us place Hopewell’s property
more easily. The next person
enrolled, a farmer, is one Hezekiah
Clagett, age 55, who has the awesome sum of real estate valued at
$33,000 and personal property valued at $13,000 (the first figure could
be viewed as a seven, but I think such
a figure would be unrealistic).
Of course, it’s not the Clagetts or
Hopewells we’re really interested in,
but Thomas Wilson.
In the
Hopewell family these three names
appear: “Judy B. Wilson, age 36;
Pamela A. Wilson, age 35; and our
Thomas Wilson, age 9.” There is
only one other piece of information
in the Census date that I find interesting. There is a column headed
“Attended School Within The
Year.” Hopewell’s four children
have a check in this blank. Thomas
Wilson does not.
From this point, the mystery
thickens. Using the same research
tools, mainly the Census for 1870, a
decade later, we find a Thomas Wilson, now age 19, living in Harmar,
Marietta Township, Washington
County, Ohio. He is listed as working in a rolling mill—the age is right
and his birthplace is listed as Virginia. The odd thing on this listing is
he is listed tenth in a household of a
Scott family of nine.
Trying to do an internet search on
a name like Thomas Wilson can drive
a researcher to distraction. I intend
no disrespect, but it could be mindboggling to guess the number of fine
men who have born the name of
Thomas Wilson. I’ll have to get back
to Mr. Wilson in Illinois to learn if he
knows whether Thomas was the son
of Permelina Wilson, born in 1825, is
Thomas’s middle initial “M”, was he
married to a Mary Carr, or could he
have been married on May 30, 1895
to a Mary Elizabeth Clune in Hillsboro Trail County, North Dakota?
What makes the final point look
promising is that Mary Elizabeth
Clune and Thomas Wilson had a son
named Clarence James Wilson born
February 11th, 1898 in North
Dakota, but who died November 28,
1970 in Cook County, Illinois which
is very close to where our correspondent Stephen Wilson now lives.

New Additions to the Archives
Cemeteries. They’re a pretty
potent reminder that everything eventually comes to an end and a warning
(if you look close enough) that life can
be cut short a lot sooner than one
would ever anticipate. But they’re not
just dire reminders or ominous warnings. They are perpetual vaults of
information, glimpses of a past that
quickly grow vague in most people’s
memories. But for those tracing the
faint line of their ancestry back
through the years, they are virtual
treasure troves of information that
transform those faint lines into solid
connections.
And now, the library can help you
make those connections in a faster and
easier way.
The Archive Room at the Moorefield Library is enjoying two new additions to its ranks of genealogical tomes.
Hardy County, West Virginia Cemetery
Records and Shenandoah County, Virginia Cemetery Records have been
donated to the library by James B.
Heishman. They are complete listings
of the cemeteries of Hardy and
Shenandoah counties, fully indexed.
Whenever possible, GPS coordinates
are given for each cemetery, so locating a cemetery won’t be a problem.
The information for the Hardy County
volume was originally compiled by
Clifton & Lila Funkhouser and later
added to by Mr. Heishman. For this
new edition, Mr. Heishman has revisited each cemetery and added new
information to what was previously
compiled.

The Hardy County Board of
Education will be bringing to the
citizens of Hardy County a proposal for a school bond to support
the rebuilding and renovating of
both high schools. The bond
request will be $21,545,000 which
is fifty percent of the total estimated cost for the completion of
both high school projects. The
remaining fifty percent or
$21,545,000.00 will be requested
from the West Virginia School
Building Authority (SBA). The
proposal has been sent to the
SBA for their financial support of
the proposed building project.
The funds received from the
bond passage in Hardy County
will be necessary in order to
receive the funds from the SBA.
Without the bond passage in
Hardy County, the SBA will not
fund the project with the
requested fifty percent of the estimated project cost.
The bond request will be
included on the May 8, 2012 primary election ballot. Information
regarding the rebuilding and renovation of the high schools along
with the estimated tax increase
for tax payers and the bond ballot
can be obtained from the Hardy
County Board of Education
Office. You can request this information electronically by emailing
Barbara
Whitecotton
at
[email protected] or by
calling 304-530-2348 ext 232.
Any person interested in
working with the school bond initiative is asked to make contact
with Barbara Whitecotton, Superintendent or Kathy Hardy, Associate
Superintendent
([email protected] or
call 304-530-2348, ext 222).
Note: A tax calculator has
been added to the Hardy County
Schools
website.

levels. According to Whitecotton,
three of the four elementary schools
were closed and students consolidated into one school. Some students
were sent to school in Lewis county.
“They are squeezing their budget
with the elimination of personnel and
operation costs,” Whitecotton said.
“If the fire marshal were to close
Moorefield High School, the alternative would be to bring portable classrooms on the lawn until the citizens
of the county decide to do something
about it.”
“They could cut our athletic programs?” BOE Vice President Loy
Kesner asked.
“Whatever it takes,” Whitecotton
replied.
“I agree with Superintendent
Whitecotton,” said Michael Pickens
of the West Virginia Department of
Education Facilities Department. “It
is up to the county to solve its building issues within their means, which
might include a bond passage. If the
county school buildings would get so
deficient that they could not provide
educational services, that could warrant a state control take-over. The
state would then determine the
course of action to correct these facilities as well as all other identified
deficiencies such as curriculum,
finance, etc.”
• Will the WV SBA help with the
cost of the project?
BOE President Margret Shriver
reported the board traveled to
Charleston on Feb. 23 to meet with
Dr. Mark Manchin, director of the
WV SBA.
The board is requesting the SBA
contribute 50 percent of the cost of
the rebuild/renovation project another $21.5 million.
“We got preliminary approval,”
she said. “Ms. Whitecotton and I will
go to the SBA Board for final
approval on March 19.”
Manchin will give his recommendation that the SBA board approve
Hardy County’s request for a 50 percent match when the bond passes.
His recommendation carries a lot of
weight with the SBA board, but they
have the final approval.
• How can voters get information about the bond?
Assistant Superintendent Kathy
Hardy presented an update from the
Publicity Committee.
“We have made a list of organizations in the county,” she said. “We
need to make a schedule to speak to
those groups.”
The committee is working on a
tri-fold brochure to distribute to
groups and individuals. The brochure
will answer some of the frequently
asked questions regarding the bond.
Anyone who wants the committee
to speak to their group should contact Hardy at the board office.
The Publicity Committee needs
funding and volunteers, Hardy said.
• How much will my taxes
increase when the bond passes?
As previously reported in the
Moorefield Examiner, a tax rate
schedule has been formulated if the
bonds are sold at a 6.5 percent interest rate. This is the maximum interest
rate for which the bonds can be sold.
According to that schedule, real
estate property tax rates will increase
by $0.1744 per $100 of assessed
value. Personal property rates will
increase by $0.3488 per $100 of
assessed value.
The rates will be significantly
lower if the bonds are sold at a lower
interest rate.
Tax schedules are available at the
board office.

The German submarine fired one
torpedo, which struck the Lusitania.
But almost immediately, there was a
second explosion, which did infinitely
more damage.
“From the German perspective,
U-boats or submarines were new
technology,” Korolev said. “The
optics used in the periscopes were
not very good and it was hard to tell
which ship was which. The German
U-boat captains had orders to
destroy any troop ships.”
Nearly 1,200 people died on the
Lusitania, 128 were Americans. The
incident created outrage in the U.S.
and many believe hastened the U.S.
involvement in WW I.
“It was very controversial,”
Korolev. “It raises the question of
using people as human shields for the
shipment of armaments.”
It also happened just two years
after the sinking of the Titanic, a
maritime disaster still fresh in the
public’s mind.
“They learned about having adequate life boats after the Titanic, but
the Lusitania went down so fast,
there wasn’t time to launch them,”
Korolev said.
Other books have been written
about the sinking of the Lusitania,
Korolev said, but most are nonfiction
books or murder mysteries set on the
ship.
Korolev is the author of several
books, most of which are historical
fiction. His most recent published
work, “Swamp Dragon,” is set in
Hardy County during the Civil War.

Jackets Robbed at the Buzzer
Story & Photos
By Carl Holcomb
Moorefield Examiner
The Region II Section 2 Championship in Keyser last Saturday
between Moorefield and Tucker County featured 10 ties and 18 lead
changes with the Mountain Lions scratching by with a 44-42 victory when
the Yellow Jackets’ final shot went in and out.
The largest lead in the game was five points, held by Moorefield in the
third quarter at 2:26.
In a championship game, one that switches back and forth can be very
exciting for the fans, yet nerve racking for the coaches.
The Yellow Jackets (18-6) had a trick up their sleeve this time with a
surprising zone defense, not the typical man-to-man defense Coach Pat
McGregor is known for.
“We were our own worst enemy. We executed, we had a nice game
plan going tonight. I was proud of the kids for executing that game plan.
We don’t play zone. We played zone tonight and the kids did very well. It
was something we schemed up and worked on very hard and they executed that well, but we came up a little short. Turnovers killed us, it was all
about turnovers tonight,” Moorefield Coach Pat McGregor remarked.
This change of defense created havoc for Tucker County (18-6) as they
squandered the ball away four times in the first three minutes of action,
coming up with only one point during that stretch.
“Mac did a nice job. I’ll give him credit. They confused us and they
shouldn’t have because Preston played the same zone against us and we
attacked it. We just played tight tonight, but he did a good job too, don’t
get me wrong. I’m taking nothing away from Moorefield, they had a nice
game plan. The game could have gone either way,” Tucker County Coach
Tom Gutshall commented.
There wasn’t really a point in the game where either team could get a
comfortable lead and sustain it due to the relentless defensive pressure.
Tucker County did force the ante at the close of each quarter, taking
the lead at each break with a 9-7 edge at the end of the first, a 19-18 lead
at half-time, and a 33-32 edge entering the final stanza.
Moorefield was up 30-25 with 2:26 remaining in the third quarter after
a basket by Adam Snyder.
On the next possession, Nathaniel Goldstein nailed a trey, then Adam
Snyder answered by drawing a foul and making two free throws.
After several missed shots by Tucker County, one ended up in the net
as Trevor Kidwell scored with 47 ticks left.
The Yellow Jackets turned the ball over on a collision between Adam
Snyder and Trevor Kidwell.
Tucker County’s Ian Nichols sank a 3-pointer for a 33-32 lead with four
seconds left in the third.
Moorefield guard Jared Kite took the last shot of the Region II
Section 2 Championship game in Keyser while Mountain Lion Nick
Nedrow jumped over to defend. The ball took an unfortunate
bounce off the rim for the Yellow Jackets at the buzzer.
For the Yellow Jackets, being only one possession ahead or behind
most of the game was a welcome relief compared to the 58-43 loss in the
Potomac Valley Conference Championship.
Well, the Yellow Jackets did something right since Tucker County averaged 60 points a game this year and was held to a mere 44 points.
Although getting the victory didn’t become tangible until the final horn
due to an intense battle of wits and wisdom.
Time-outs, fouls, and turnovers disrupted the final sequences of events.
Moorefield made the decision to eat the clock for the final shot, but the
strategy backfired.
Let’s take a look at the final few minutes in question during this pivotal
match.
Moorefield took a 40-38 lead on a drive inside the paint by Adam Snyder with 3:48 remaining.
Tucker County’s Ian Nichols stole the ball after both squads missed
shots and found Nathaniel Goldstein open for a game-tying jumper at 3:05
and was fouled but the charity shot went awry and to Moorefield’s Zach
Laughlin.
Snyder received the pass from Laughlin and scored at 2:42.
Goldstein gave the Mountain Lions the lead with a trifecta at 2:17.
After a time-out, Moorefield worked the clock down until Tyler Snyder
stepped forward and Moorefield called time-out with 1:28 to go.
Moorefield was trailing only by one, 43-42 and elected to take more
time off the clock against the Mountain Lions who switched into a zone
defense.
Adam Snyder held the ball at mid-court, then gave the ball to Jared
Kite who worked the ball down the baseline past Mikhail Lewis and was
met in the paint by Nick Nedrow and a collision occurred and the ball
sailed out of bounds.
Tucker County got the ball with nine seconds and was immediately
fouled after a time-out.
One more time-out was called and Tucker County was fouled again
with seven seconds left and this time there was a bonus of an one-and-one.
Nichols made the first of two free throws and Garrett Keller grabbed
the rebound for Moorefield.
The Yellow Jackets moved the ball to mid-court and called a time-out
with a hair under four seconds left.
Keller got the ball near the top of the key as two defenders closed in,
jumped up and then turned and passed to Kite who was given extra spacing as Lance Taylor boxed out Nedrow just enough to provide an open
shot for Kite.
Kite got the look as Nedrow worked his way over with his hand in the
air, the shot lofted up from just 10-ft. away near the baseline and appeared
as if it was going in, but it rattled in and out of the basket and over a group
gathered in the paint.

Cougars De-clawed by Tucker County
East Hardy guard Levi Beck leapt to the basket for a lay-up
attempt during the Region II Section 2 semifinal at Tucker County
as Nick Nedrow defended on the play.
Story & Photos
By Carl Holcomb
Moorefield Examiner
Tucker County de-clawed the
Cougars with an early attack en
route to a 62-40 shellacking during
the Region II Section 2 semifinal in
Hambleton.
East Hardy couldn’t find traction after early perimeter shots put
the Mountain Lions up 10-1 in just
two minutes.
When the Cats came to fight,
there was no way to fathom such
disparity especially after East
Hardy held a six point advantage at
this very location with only a couple
minutes left in the game before succumbing to the noise and pressure.
This time around, the Tucker
County Den was well guarded and
vocally challenging to the Cougars.
Perhaps the coach didn’t hear
his players asking for a time-out
after getting shell-shocked with the
few opening baskets and errant
shots of their own.
“We missed a lot of lay-ups first,
I think nerves. Transition, you try to
get the kids in the flow. We missed
a lot. It wasn’t too many turnovers,
more like we didn’t shoot the ball
well and couldn’t handle the pressure,” East Hardy Coach Danny
Dewhurst noted.
Nathaniel Goldstein set the tone
with a trifecta at 7:40 off an assist by
Tyler Snyder.
Snyder found Ian Nichols open
for a trey 19 seconds later for a 6-1
edge.
Nichols added a jumper on the
Mountain Lions’ next possession
and after East Hardy’s third missed
field goal, Mikhail Lewis caught an
inbound pass from Snyder for two
in the paint for a 10-1 lead.
Tyler Mongold got a pass from
Kollin Foltz and scored the Cougars
first field goal at 5:55 for a 10-3
score.
Goldstein rained down another
3-pointer and then, the Cougars
called for a time-out at 5:16.
It was feast or famine and the
Mountain Lions chose to feast with
a big appetite for points, chomping
down for a 21-10 advantage after
one quarter of action.
Baskets early in the second
quarter by Nichols and Lewis gave
Tucker County a 27-10 advantage
(5:50).
“We’ve been shooting the ball
better lately. We’re a lot better than
we were early in the season. We
moved the ball well and we came in
and found the kids who shoot the
ball well. Our kids are pretty
unselfish. I thought we played
pretty well. There were a couple
spurts where I wasn’t too happy, but
overall I was pretty happy. I thought
we were real solid on defense. We
did a nice job except for a couple of
times we lost our guy. We only lost
one game this year on our home
floor,” Tucker County Coach Tom
Gutshall stated.
A charge was called on the
Cougars before a time-out was
called.
East Hardy got behind and wasn’t able to recover, despite showing
some life after being wounded
early.
The Cougars were down 32-11
at the 2:07 mark, before starting a
small run.
Mongold netted two free throws
and Jamie Miller stole the ball and
scored for a 32-15 score with 58 seconds left in the half.
Shawn Skovron netted a putback with 20 ticks left as the
Cougars cut the deficit to 32-17 at
the break.
Was this small surge capable of
being extended into the third quarter?
Tucker County decided it wasn’t
and went on an 8-0 run including
two 3-pointers by Nichols before
East Hardy called for a breather at
4:59.
East Hardy missed about eight
shots during that stretch.
As fans headed to the concession stand, Miller scored to baskets
in a minute for a 40-21 score.
Tucker County held a 46-23
advantage entering the fourth quarter.
A jumper by Nichols and an oldfashioned three point play by John
Smith gave Tucker County a 52-26
lead before the Cougars started
with a little movement in the scor-
ing column.
Shawn Skovron lit up two 3pointers over one minute and
Miller knocked down another at
4:17 for a 52-32 score.
East Hardy’s late flurry of shots
continued as Skovron nailed a trey
at 3:12, but the Mountain Lions’
roar had already tamed the
Cougars.
“There at the end, Shawn
[Skovron] started to make shots.
We got back into it a little bit. We’ve
just got to give them credit, they
were a hustling bunch of kids. They
play defense well and they are fundamentally sound, We have a little
bit of work to get back into it next
year,” Coach Dewhurst commented.
Kollin Foltz hit a pair of free
throws with 1:40 remaining as the
Cougars now trailed 59-38.
East Hardy pressed the ball and
got a steal, but just like what happened early in the game, the ball
didn’t fall in the hoop.
Miller got one last field goal for
his career with 54 seconds left.
“They jumped on us early and
we kept battling and battling. That
early jump and early lead killed us.
It was hard to battle back with that
deficit going into the second quarter. The fans with this atmosphere,
it was loud and of course they had
home field advantage,” East Hardy
senior Jamie Miller said.
Jamie Miller paced East Hardy
with 19 points, followed by Shawn
Skovron with 16 points which
included four 3-pointers.
East Hardy concluded its season
with a 15-9 record and wasn’t able
to setup another Hardy County
clash in the sectional title game.
“It was nice to have Jamie and
Kollin on the team, I was really
proud of those boys, the seniors,
they always contributed well. They
are just fine, young men. I try to
teach these boys how to be good
young men too. You’ve got to take
the wins with the losses. Even
though these losses are hard to
take. The kids will do well next year,
we have a good group coming back.
There is more to life than the game
of basketball,” Coach Dewhurst
concluded.
One thing was for certain
though, Miller planned to be in
Keyser for the game: “I’m going to
cheer for Tucker”. Miller appeared
there with a t-shirt that was in
Tucker County colors stating: Man
Up.
Tucker County was led in scoring by Ian Nichols’ double-double
with 22 points and 10 rebounds, followed by Nedrow with 10 markers.
Mikhail Lewis and Tyler Snyder
had nine points apiece.
“I’m real happy, it’s a team
game. It is not an individual game. I
don’t ever worry about points. Our
guards get the ball to the people we
need to, that is what I like. I don’t
even know what our record is. We
are moving on and that is what matters,” Coach Gutshall remarked.
Tucker County improved to 17-6
and advanced to play Moorefield in
the Region II Section 2 Championship.
East Hardy Sailed Past the Pirates
Story & Photo
By Carl Holcomb
Moorefield Examiner
In the Region II Section 2
Quarterfinal last Tuesday, the
Pirates entered Baker in hopes of
ransacking the Cougars’ playoff
path, but East Hardy defended the
Den with a 79-67 victory.
“The kids came out flat tonight.
They just didn’t play the way they
are going to need to play against
Tucker County,” East Hardy
Coach Chris Hahn stated.
Perimeter shooting was the way
to start the game as the first three
baskets were from beyond-the-arc.
East Hardy senior Kollin Foltz
gave the hometown fans a tremendous home finale with a team-high
21 points including the contest’s
opening 3-pointer just a mere
seven seconds in.
Paw Paw responded as Ethan
Holliday netted a trey on the next
possession.
Foltz notched another trifecta
at the 6:56 mark.
After swiping the ball for a second time in the game, he netted
two free throws for an 8-3 edge at
6:40.
Foltz assisted on the next two
shots, a jumper by Shawn Skovron
and a trey by fellow senior Jamie
Miller for a 13-7 lead at 5:15.
David Delawder and Holliday
both notched field goals in the
midst of that scoring barrage.
Off a steal by Skovron, Miller
got just ahead of the Pirates and
went up for a soft one handed
dunk.
River Weese made two free
throws for Paw Paw, then East
Hardy missed a shot which was
collected by Holliday and he
added a jumper to pull within 1511.
East Hardy looked to the bench
for some added points and within
a couple of minutes Wyatt Basye
provided a lay-up and 3-pointer
for a 22-13 edge.
David Delawder sliced inside
for a Paw Paw score moments
before that shot by Basye.
River Weese made a nice spinning jump hook in the paint at the
2:20 mark, as the Pirates stayed
close.
An old fashioned three point
play from starter Tyler Mongold
plus a free throw before the close
of the quarter gave the Cougars a
26-16 advantage.
East Hardy shuffled its lineup
and tried different formations
which still needed some more
refining according to Coach Hahn.
“We did come out here and
tried a few new things to see how
the kids handled different things
and they didn’t do so well with
that. The good thing is, you get a
game like this out of your system
and you move on to Tucker,”
Coach Hahn noted.
Two baskets by Skovron and a
3-pointer by Foltz seemed to look
like something was working for a
33-20 score at the 6:45 mark.
The Cougars attempted a few
different passing scenarios and
were not as fluid with the passes,
but were able to finish plays most
of the time.
Skovron sank a 3-pointer
moments after a hook shot by Josh
Newlon of the Pirates.
Holliday added two free throws
before the half ended for the
Pirates who now trailed 50-28.
Delawder started the scoring in
the third quarter for the Pirates.
East Hardy scored the next
seven points including a trey by
Foltz.
Weese and Delawder netted
some points to chip away at the
East Hardy lead, now 57-34.
East Hardy’s Justin Basye netted two baskets in a one minute
stretch late in the third quarter
which sandwiched a 3-pointer by
River Weese of the Pirates.
The Cougars carried a 66-45
advantage into the fourth quarter.
Kollin Foltz added his fifth 3pointer of the night at the 6:28
mark for a 73-49 lead.
Delawder made a couple of
quick steals and two baskets and
Holliday notched a trey to cut the
deficit to 79-65 with just under a
minute left.
Delawder notched one more
basket for Paw Paw.
“The last month and a half we
have been playing good ball. All in
all its been a good season. We only
had six or seven wins, but that is
the first time we’ve won in three or
four years. They gave me all they
had, with six boys how much more
can you ask for? I think we scared
East Hardy a little toward the end.
The boys gave me a lot of heart.
This was a big court for six guys to
run up and down. I’m just proud of
them. Ethan is my only senior, he
really wanted this game and I don’t
think he missed too many shots,”
Paw Paw Coach Steve Moreland
East Hardy senior Kollin Foltz made a cut to the basket against Paw
Paw in the Region II Section 2 Quarterfinal last Tuesday night.
commented.
Foltz led East Hardy with 21
points, followed by Shawn
Skovron with 19 points.
Holliday scored a game-high 25
points in his final game of his
career at Paw Paw.
Delawder contributed 19
points and Weese added 13.
Tucker County is an intimidat-
ing place to play with the atmosphere for a high school basketball
game. We can handle adversity.
We can beat anybody and we can
lose to anybody in the state. It is
just a matter of which kids decide
to show up. I think the kids are
going to be fired up. They will be
ready to go,” Coach Hahn concluded.

After struggling mightily down
the stretch, WVU needed wins to
close out the regular season, and
that’s exactly what they got.
They began the final week of the
regular season with an impressive
92-75 win over DePaul. They
sprinted out to a double-digit lead
in the opening minutes, and never
really looked back. There was a first
half lull, during which the Blue
Demons cut the lead to single digits, but WVU responded with a run
of its own, and that pretty much put
away the game right then. In the
second half, DePaul could never
mount a sustained rally, and WVU
cruised to the win.
The second game was a tough
one on the road against defensive
minded South Florida. WVU led
THE OLD MASTER
during the season will be strong
enough to put them in the Big
Dance.
The women’s team will certainly
be going to the NCAA tournament,
and may end up with a pretty nice
seed. Mike Carey’s team is laden
with newcomers, but they have finished the season strong. They had
the great run when they beat three
ranked teams in a row, and they had
a big win in the Big East tournament when they knocked off
Georgetown – another ranked
team. This avenged an earlier loss
to the Hoyas, and is further indication of how this team has improved
over the course of the season.
They will find out their fate next
week, when the NCAA Women’s
tournament announces their pairings.
The wrestling team had a good

champions: Mike Morales (141
the game after a low scoring first
half, but South Florida took the
lead with an early run in the second
stanza. The game was nip-and-tuck
the rest of the way, but WVU managed to pull away in the final minutes for a key 50-44 win.
WVU is the #8 seed in the Big
East tournament. Their first game
is Wednesday at noon against the
winner of the Connecticut-DePaul
game (likely the Huskies). If they
win, they will go on to face #1 seed
Syracuse at noon on Thursday in
the quarterfinals. A semi-final
game would be 7:00 Friday night,
and the finals are 9:00 Saturday
night. All of WVU’s games will be
on ESPN (and online at ESPN3D).
This Sunday is Selection Sunday, and it seems likely at this point
that WVU will be in the field. Beating South Florida in Tampa probably moved the Mountaineers ahead
of the Bulls, and it seems like the

will head to the NCAA Championships. In addition, Shane Young
(125 lbs) and Nathan Pennesi (133
lbs) also earned NCAA invites by
placing high enough at the EWLs.
The women’s swimming team
had four swimmers qualify for their
NCAA Championships. The 800
free relay team of Rachel Burnett,
Mandie Nugent, Kata Fodor, and
Danielle Smith will compete. All
four will also compete in multiple
individual events; Burnett and
Nugent will have legitimate shots at
placing. You will have to forgive
Nugent if she is a bit tired. After an
outstanding Big East Championship (her 200 fly was the 2nd
fastest collegiate swim this season),
she is in England now, competing in
their Olympic Trials. She will fly
back to the US for the NCAA
Championships.

Moorefield Examiner
Alex Foltz, who is from Mathias,
WV, played for the Evansville
Otters of the Frontier League this
past summer as an outfielder and
was given the honor of playing in an
unique tournament in Florida.
Foltz was one of three Otters
selected to play in the inaugural
Independent League Prospect
Tournament held in St. Petersburg,
Florida at Al Lang Field this past
week.
Evansville is located in Indiana
near the Kentucky border.
Foltz is used to tough competition after spending time in the Cape
Cod League, the New England Collegiate Baseball League, and the
Valley League during his time at
James Madison University.
Foltz batted .262 in his first season with the Evansville Otters and
snatched 12 stolen bases.
Major League Baseball scouts
were in attendance for this tournament featuring players from the
American Association, Can-Am,
Frontier, and North American
leagues.
Entering Saturday’s contests,
the Frontier League team was 3-4
COMP-TEC LLC
and the third seed in the tournament.
Foltz joined fellow Otters Dan
Marcacci and Brett Chamberlain in
the Prospect Tournament.
“Anytime a player gets to show
their abilities in front of scouts for
major league teams is a terrific
opportunity for the player,” Evansville Otters Director of Player Personnel Kevin Cope said in the
Evansville Courier & Press. “This
will be a positive experience for
them.”
Foltz was not drafted after graduation, but had a great opportunity
to showcase his talent in St. Petersburg thanks to his hard work ethic
being rewarded by the Evansville
Otters with a nod to represent the
Frontier League there.
Foltz will play for the Otters this
season if not signed by a MLB
team.
Bowling Family Fun: Agape Family Fellowship Church of Baker took members of the congregation to the Potomac Lanes for a Saturday
afternoon of bowling. Reverend Rob Kerr noted there were 41 people at the third annual event for his church. “This is a great time of
fun and fellowship for everyone. No one should be as embarrassed as me. A man of God should be able to bowl,” Reverend Rob Kerr
stated. Agape Family Fellowship Church made t-shirts for the event which say ‘got family?’.

Goldstein grabbed the ball in
enthusiasm and ran toward his
bench to celebrate the championship.
Having the opportunity to win
with the final flick of the wrist is
what some coaches dream about
and it makes for excellent commentary during a tight game.
Coach McGregor has the experience and had what he thought
would be an ideal situation and was
pleased with the overall execution
of the play drawn up, but obviously
disappointed the basket didn’t transpire.
“We weren’t real comfortable
with what we were doing offensively, so it didn’t hurt for us to
shorten up the game there at that
point. We called time-out, I think
there was a minute and a half left to
go in the game and we were going
to set up a few things, then he went
to zone which changed the whole
thing too. He did a little strategy
there, so we just decided to run it
down a little further. It shouldn’t
have come down to that, it should
have never come down to that.
Turnovers cost us the game, it wasn’t what they did. We thought we
would take a chance and get that
and we still had a great look at the
basket at the end of the game. I’m
not for sure Jared [Kite] wasn’t
fouled on that last shot. I still
thought it was going in, it was beautiful. The kids ran the play excellent, executed it out of the time-out,
got a great look. A little 10-ft.
jumper, just didn’t go,” Coach
McGregor stated.
Adam Snyder led Moorefield
with 16 points, followed by Laughlin with nine and Kite with eight.
Nichols scored a game-high 18
points for Tucker County, followed
by Goldstein with ten markers.
“It wasn’t anything Tucker was
doing. We were just very careless
with the ball and made some terrible passes. When you turn the ball
over 19 times against them, they
capitalized on every turnover.
We’re this far into the season and
we know better. I don’t care how
big of a stage you’re on, at that
point and time we just shouldn’t be
doing that,” Coach McGregor said.
It was not the fault of one person in losing the game, because basketball is a team sport and together
everyone achieves much.
Moorefield has an opportunity
to advance to the state tournament
in Charleston with a win tonight in
Morgantown against Region II Section 1 Champion Trinity Christian
School(16-7).
“We are just going to have to do
it the hard way. I told the kids they
can be down on themselves for
about five minutes, then it is time to
pick it up. We’ve got practice on
Monday and Tuesday and we are
going to play at Trinity. IF we can
come out and D them up, if our
defense is strong, keep Trinity in the
40-s or 50-s, I like our chances on
the road out there. I really do, I just
hate that we have to do it the hard
way. I think we can do it, definitely
think we can do it. Trinity is not an
unbeatable team by any means.
Trinity is more of a finesse team
than we faced tonight. Tucker is a
grab and hold, reach up kind of
team, very physical and Trinity is
not that style,” Coach McGregor
concluded.
Moorefield has been to the state
tournament seven times with the
last trip in the 2000-01 season and
won the state championship in
1949.

AG Warns of Mortgage Settlement Scams DNR Seeks Changes to Cut Female Deer Numbers
(AP) - West Virginia officials are
warning homeowners about scammers purporting to help them with
a recent nationwide mortgage settlement.
The $25 billion settlement
between states and five mortgage
lenders over foreclosure abuses was
announced recently.
The banks will make cash pay-
ments to those who experienced
foreclosure abuses from Jan. 1,
2008 to Dec. 31, 2011. Under the
agreement, the banks also will modify loan terms and provide other
relief to home borrowers. The
banks are Bank of America,
JPMorgan, Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Ally Financial.
State Attorney General Darrell
McGraw said scammers claim they
are working with the banks and tell
homeowners they’re eligible for an
up-front fee. McGraw’s office says
the scammers also ask for bank
account numbers and promise to
deposit the settlement money into
their account.
(AP) - The Division of Natural
Resources is taking a new approach
to reducing West Virginia’s deer
population.
The agency wants hunters to kill
more female deer in many areas of
the state. It’s proposing hunting
regulation changes to achieve that
goal.
Proposed changes include creating a new three-day, late-October
firearm season for antlerless deer
and allowing hunters to take up to
two deer a day, provided at least
one is antlerless.
The Charleston Gazette reports
that the DNR unveiled its new plan
Sunday during the Natural
Resources Commission’s quarterly
meeting. The commission sets the
state’s hunting and fishing regulations.
Public meetings are planned
around the state this month to
gather input on the plan. The commission will vote on the plan April
29.

BEATRICE BENNETT
Arkansaw, Feb. 23, 2012-We
were happy to know that Rachael
Moton who has been in Charlottesville, Va. for treatments, was
able to return home for a week, but
will return back to the hospital.
Please continue to pray for Rachael
and her family. The benefit dinner
and auction which was held last
Saturday at the community building was quite successful. There was
a large attendance and a nice sum
was realized. We appreciate all the
help and support that was given.
The family appreciated everything.
We were shocked and saddened
to hear that Nick Brill, Wardensville, had passed away following a heart attack. Our deepest
sympathy to his wife, Charlene, and
all the family members and friends.
Deepest sympathy to one of my
Walmart customers who lost her
brother Don.
We were sorry to hear the passing of Robert “Bob” Wilt, 72, of
Shippensburg, Pa., and formerly of
Lost River. He was a retired truck
driver. He was the son of Ottis and
Esther Whetzel, and is survived by
three granddaughters, three brothers, Gene Wilt, Hoyt Wilt, Maurertown, Va. and James Wilt of Virginia, two sisters, Loretta Secrist,
Broadway, Va. and Linda Whetzel,
Lost River, W.Va., a cousin, Roger
Whetzel, nieces, Teresa L. Fleming,
Debbie S. Wilson and Christine
(Jackie) Davis. Also several other
nieces, nephews, family members
and friends survive. Viewing and
the funeral service was held at the
Mongul United Brethren Church,
Shippensburg, Pa. on Feb. 16 at 7
p.m. Teresa L. Fleming, Loretta
Secrist, Broadway, Va., Linda
Whetzel, Christina (Jackie) Davis,
Lost River, Ronnie W. Wilson and
Beatrice Bennett attended the
viewing and funeral on Thursday
evening. We’d like to express our
deepest sympathy to Loretta, Ray
and Kristin Secrist, Linda Whetzel,
Ford, Christina (Jackie) Davis,
Cody and Olivia and to all other
family members and friends.
We are sorry to hear of Marlene
See’s health problems. We are hoping and praying for a complete
recovery. She will consult Dr.
Brinker or a specialist soon. Best
wishes and many prayers for you.
We are glad to know that Mary
Ann and John R. Gochenour, Lost
River, are feeling better. John was
quite ill with pneumonia and has
improved.
Mildred Swisher visited me last
week.
Sunday school each Sunday at
Zion at 9:45 a.m. and worship at 11
a.m. with Pastor Gary Koontz. We
were happy to have visitors last
Sunday at Zion, please come back
again.
Many get well wishes to Glenda
Kerr, Wardensville, who hasn’t
been well.

Spring.
Where does my water come from?
Your drinking water is purchased from the Town of Moorefield which uses surface water
from the South Fork and the South Branch of the Potomac River. Trout Run Road drinking
water is purchased from the Town of Wardensville which uses ground water from the
Hawkins Farm Spring/Wardensville Spring originating at Anderson Ridge and a supplemental well located near the Spring.
Source Water Assessment
A Source Water Assessment was conducted in 2007 by the West Virginia Bureau for
Public Health (WVBPH). The intake that supplies drinking water to the Town of Wardensville
has a moderate 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 business hours or from the WVBPH 304-558-2981.
Source Water Assessment
A Source Water Assessment was conducted in 2003 by the West Virginia Bureau for
Public Health(WVBPH). The intake that supplies drinking water to the Town of Moorefield
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

Why must water be treated?
All drinking water contains various amounts and kinds of contaminants. Federal and
state regulations establish limits, controls, and treatment practices to minimize these contaminants and to reduce any subsequent health effects.
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, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from
human activity.

through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals, and, in some cases radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from
human activity.
Contaminants that may be present in source water include:
Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage
treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife.
Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring,
or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil
and gas production, mining, farming.
Pesticides and herbicides, which may come from a variety of sources such as agriculture, urban storm water runoff, and residential uses.
Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals,
which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also
come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff, and septic systems.
Radioactive contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or the result of oil and
gas production and mining activities.
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing
chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or
other immune disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections.
These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers.
EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline
(800-426-4791).

If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for
pregnant woman and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and
components associated with service lines and home plumbing. The Town of Wardensville
is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of
materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several
hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tab for 30 seconds
to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead
in your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from
the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead.
This report will not be mailed. A copy will be provided to you upon request at our office

Third Six Weeks AR Winners Announced at MES
It Pays to Achieve
AR winners at Moorefield Elementary School were recognized
for the third six weeks period.
Reading competition was fierce
as new readers emerged and overtook the students who had previously been dominating this recognition.
The new winner in 1st grade was
Kevin Molen with 29.3 points.
Taking top spot in 2nd grade was
Sean Fahey with 47.4 points. There
were only tenths of a point separating the top achievers. Little do the
students know that all competitors
are winners in the AR program as
they increase their word knowledge, reading fluency, and reading
comprehension.
Helping to encourage the students to keep reading were Yvonne
Williams and Nicole Keller of
Edward Jones Investments who
sponsor the AR Program and furnish incentive prizes for reading
achievement.
They went to the school to present books and McDonald’s cards to
Kevin and Sean.
