Those in attendance were: Elizabeth Stewart, Roger Hall, Kathy Parker, Fred Thompson, Fred Hypes, Todd Dingess, H. Wyatt Hanna III, Derek Long, Steve Sanders, John Gibson Scott Ratliff, and Chairman Eldred Drake. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Drake at 10:05am, and the minutes of the previous meetings were distributed, reviewed and approved by a motion from John Gibson. Elizabeth Stewart, Kathy Parker and Roger Hall were the first to address the group of behalf of the Braxton County Board of Education. They stated that they were worried about published reports of the utilitie’s intent to raise water rates. Stewart stated “In our current budget condition a raise in water or sewer rates could force us to cut programs”. Steve Sanders responded to the Board of Education’s concerns telling the group that the plant upgrade was necessary to continue to deliver reliable service to customers. Sanders further stated that the only planned increase was upon substantial completion of the water plant project. Derek Long asked the board if they had talked about the possibility of asking the PSC to place the higher rates in effect before completion to help with the monetary shortfall of the upgrade project. The group said yes that had discussed that, and Steve Sanders added “this board takes any rate increases very seriously.” Todd Dingess, of Smith Cochran and Hicks accounting firm, also explained that the PSC had recently put a new rate structure into effect for the PSD. Customers using over 30,000 gallon monthly saw a decline in their rates while residential and commercial customers saw an increase. Scott Ratliff added to the conversation by telling the group that he had conducted his own “survey” of area PSDs. The “study” showed four of the eight PSDs studied had lower rates than Flatwoods, while the other four were higher. John Gibson explained that the PSD was not a for profit business and that the PSD only applies for rates hikes when it’s in the red. Derek Long asked the PSD board if the PSC requires the PSDs to be in the red before asking for a rate increase. FCRPSC’s attorney Hyatt Hanna replied no. Sanders finished by saying that the PSD Board would review future projects to see if they are profitable. Fred Thompson was the next person to address the board regarding a “joint venture” in regards to parking EMS equipment at the PSD’s new office site on Main Street, Sutton near the building they recently purchased from Dr. Russell Stewart. Thompson stated with the new parking reguPlease turn to FCRPSD page 3 “D EVOTED TO B RAXTON C OUNTY -- R ESPONSIVE TO ITS CITIZENS ’ NEEDS ” www.bcn-news.com Grand Jury indicts thirteen On Tuesday, February 3, the Grand Jury of the Circuit Court of Braxton County was scheduled to convene. Due to bad weather there were not sufficient jurors to impanel the Jury so Judge Richard Facemire continued the proceeding until Wednesday, February 4. At the conclusion of the closed door session, twelve individuals were indicted on various charges. Donald Lee Cogar of Sutton and Rodney Gail Stalnaker of Heaters were each charged with breaking and entering, grand larceny and conspiracy. The charges stem from the theft of merchandise valued at approximately $5,600 from property owned by Guy Ridler. Trooper J. P. Drake of the Sutton Detachment of the West Virginia State Police presented the case. Kari Lynn Frame and A r d e n G a y l o r d Barnett of Exchange were each indicted on two felony counts. They are accused of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to delivery and conspiracy. The cases against the pair were presented by Sgt. J.W. Bonazzo or the Sutton Detachment of the West Virginia State Police. A rash of burglaries that plagued the Falls Mill area of Braxton County in late 2007 has resulted in an eight count indictment being returned against a Lewis County man. Anthony D. Falls of Ireland is charged with eight counts of burglary. Sgt. Bonazzo is the investigating officer. Heather Mae Jones and Marshall Nicholas Kopfer, both of Frametown, were charged with five counts each of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to deliver. The case against the pair was presented to the Grand Jury by Sheriff’s Deputy J.N. Dennison. Trooper J.P. Drake presented a case that resulted in the indictment of Jeffery A. White of Alexandria, VA. White is charged with failure to meet an obligation to provide support to a minor. Joseph Forzetting and Angel Forzetting of Dunbar were each charge with grand larceny. The charges, investigated by Trooper Drake, revolved around the theft of chain saws from Robert W. Freeman valued at over $12,000. Joshua M. Balcourt and Jessica J. Mace, both of Burnsville were each indicted on three drug related charges. The pair face allegations of manufacturing of a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver and conspiracy. Robert A. Vasilinda of Johnston, PA was indicted on one count of obtaining goods under false pretense. The information against Vasilinda was presented by Trooper C.S. Jackson. It should be noted that an indictment is a formal written statement framed by a prosecuting authority and found by a grand jury that charges a person or persons with an offense. It does not prove of guilt nor innocence, only that sufficient cause has been presented to warrant a trial of those charged.

Please turn to COMMISSION Commissioners Terry Frame, Mike Chapman, David Jack page 3 and Romie Spencer of the PSD Board. SCPSD’s new truck displayed Several individuals appeared before the Braxton County Commission at their regular meeting last Friday, February 7. Romie Spencer and Paul Tallman of the Sugarcreek Public Service District Board of Directors were among those speaking to the governing body. The pair thanked the Commission for assisting with the funding of a new vehicle on behalf of those receiving city water in the southern end of the county. After the meeting, the Commissioners viewed the new service truck. First to address the Commission was Diana Sartin on behalf of residents of Crites Mountain. She explained that she had sent several letters to the local PSD and as well as the Public Service Commission regarding the need for water in her area. Following the discussion Terry Frame instructed the representative to send a written request to the Flatwoods Canoe Run Public Service District outlining her concerns and provide a copy to the Commission. Sutton Mayor J.L. Campbell discussed the sign designating the area as a Civil War Trails area. The Mayor had previously requested that the County pay for one of the signs at a cost of $200. He stated that he and his council believed the designation would assist in bringing people to the community. After hearing the additional details, Mike Chapman made a motion to honor the request. The Commission also discussed parking inthe area of the Courthouse now that the Town was again enforcing parking regulations and re-installing meters. Commission president Terry Frame stated that they had reviewed the existing parking spaces behind the Courthouse and Jail and had re-assigned their spaces. She said a letter would be sent to office holders informing them of the change. Frame also requested that the Town postpone installation of meters on the side of the Courthouse, next to the Community Building until they and city officials could review the situation. Mayor Campbell reaffirmed his desire to work with council to come up with an equitable plan. Sheriff George Keener area had to be submitted by April. She requested a letter proclaiming the project as ongoing and permission to have the president sign necessary paperwork pertaining to the application for funding. David Jack made a motion to authorize the letter designating the projects as a priory. Mike Chapman introduced separate action authorizing the Commission president to sign necessary paperwork. Tara Wilson of the Frametown Park and Recreation Board presented a second estimate for needed repairs to the Frametown Community Building. A discussion followed that indicated that the Commission felt they did not have the funds necessary to award the low bid of $13,500. At the conclusion, Mike Chapman made a motion to allocate $6,000 of Coal Severance money to purchase materials. That action received the unanimous support of the Commission. A member of the audience in attendance, Derek Long, requested a status report on the outstanding debt to the Regional Jail Authority. Mike Chapman stated that the balance was still in the $400,000 range but the County was continuing to pay on the arrearage. Long stated that it appeared that the debt would not be brought current by July as some of the Commissioners had previously indicated. “We are paying on the bill, but its going to take a long time to catch it up,” said Chapman. In other action, the probate appointments for the month of January were approved on a motion by David Jack. Circuit Court hears pleas and more... On Tuesday, February 3, the February Term of the Circuit Court of Braxton County began. Due to bad weather there were not sufficient jurors to impanel the Grand Jury and Judge Richard Facemire continued the Grand Jury until Wednesday. Judge Facemire did take up several matters: including the following cases: Clyde Ellis Mollohan appeared by video conferencing from the William R. Sharpe Hospital with the assistance of his counsel, Thomas J. Drake, for a hearing as to whether the Defendant should remain at that facility. After hearing testimony and evidence Judge Facemire ordered that Mollohan remain at the William R. Sharpe Hospital until he was not a danger to himself or others. Richard Dale Deusenberry and his attorney, Thomas J. Drake, appeared in Court to enter a plea. The State of West Virginia appeared by her Prosecuting Attorney, Kelly Hamon McLaughlin. The Defendant entered a plea of guilty to soliciting a minor by computer. Judge Facemire ordered that a pre-sentence investigation be prepared and set sentencing for April 9, at 10:30 A.M. Danielle Stewart came before the Judge with the assistance of Bernard R. Mauser standing in for Scott Mason. The Defendant entered a plea of guilty to the felony offense of burglary. Judge Facemire set sentencing for April 9, at 11:00 A.M., and ordered that a pre-sentence investigation report be prepared. The Court also heard six (6) juvenile cases. On Wednesday, February 4, after the Grand Jury was impanelled and Judge Richard Facemire instructed them concerning their duties three additional cases came before him. Jerry Rick Meadows appeared in Court with the assistance of counsel, Christopher Moffatt, for sentencing. On June 9, 2008, the Defendant entered a plea of guilty to the felony offense of conspiracy. On September 12, 2008, Judge Facemire ordered that the Defendant undergo diagnosis and classification at the Penitentiary for sixty days and to be returned for further sentencing. While out on bond pending transfer to the diagnosis and classification center Meadows committed criminal offenses in Webster County. Judge Facemire set sentencing for February 4 in that case. The Judge set aside his order pertaining to the Defendant undergoing diagnosis and classification. Meadows requested the Court grant him probation. The State of West Virginia, by way of her Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Keith Cooper, opposed probation. Judge Facemire sentenced the Defendant to not less than one nor more Please turn to COURT page 3 Page 2 OPINION Braxton Citizens’ News ● February 10, 2009 ● ● ● Editorials Letters Columns Our views Your views Their views l l Dog Tales: Just look at this!

However, the owner is no longer able to provide care, and is looking for a loving home that can meet her needs. Her brother, Spike, is also at the shelter and in need of placement. Despite her wonderful interaction with children and other animals, Angelina has been known to give chickens a run for their money.

On the morning of December 30th students at BCMS were treated to a special appearance by the West Virginia University Mountaineer, Michael Squires. After an introduction by Mrs. Long, Michael gave a wonderful speech about his path on becoming the WVU mascot and some unusual trivia about WVU and his role as a Mountaineer. He took time to answer questions and sign autographs. He also signed some footballs for students to win in the school’s silent auction which is part of our Positive Behavior Program. He was presented a gift by Mrs. Riffle’s 5th grade class to show their appreciation. BCMS is very thankful that Michael Squires spent the morning at our school. Lola's World Dear Editor, My name is Priscilla Wolfenbarker, my mobile home was destroyed by fire on January 31 st. I want to thank Mike Baker for his kindness and concern over my loss. I also want to thank the young man who rescued my purse and car keys. I wish I knew his name. Mike and the men of the SVFD worked so hard and quickly on containing the fire, for four hours in the snow and extreme cold and they never slowed down. It makes me proud to know I have donated every year since I moved to this area. I never dreamed the SVFD would ever have to come to my aid. I beg you all to donate to our volunteer fire deppartment. These men choose to give their time to us without a paycheck. Again…Thank you Mike Baker and all the men who helped you Saturday night. Sincerely, Priscilla Wolfenbarker News And Views By Lola B.

Take a look at the calendar and it says 6 weeks to spring anyhow. Yes, most of us have “had it” with all the ice, snow and cold. That costly fuel is slowly being wiped out even with the thermostat set low day and night. One needs to remember as the fuel depletes that this cold began back in November this year. The last four or five years we had no bad weather till the second week in January. Some apple and other fruit tree owners are trimming their trees. I note the moon is almost full and I am wondering if it is a good time to trim fruit trees. Surely sap is not in those fruit producing limbs and early trimming might cause them to lose sap. I well know most younger farmers pooh-pooh planting in signs and moon phases, but we senior citizens who gardened and paid attention still swear there is credence in these claims. Once when talking to a friend of mine about planting potatoes in the dark of the moon in its early phase I was told quickly they planted their potatoes in the ground not the moon.

The dark moon phase potatoes are so deep and hard to harvest. This reading I got from an email friend is so appropriate for our times that I have to share it: A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package. “What food might this contain?” the mouse wondered. He was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap. Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning, “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr. Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it.” The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The pig sympathized, but said, “I am so very sorry, Mr. Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray.” Be assured you are in my prayers.” Please turn to LOLA’S WORLD page 3 numbers in the coming years.

Based on some preliminary statements and, with the current condition of the national economy, I am extremely interested to learn of any new proposals he will introduce and advocate. As I’ve mentioned before, the mid-year state surplus is gradually being eroded by reduced collections of certain taxes as a result of the economic downturn. However, the release of preliminary January figures indicated a major downturn that was not entirely accurate. As the month ended on a weekend, many end of month revenue receipts for January was not counted until after February 1. When February numbers are released next month, the receipts that should have been included in the January numbers will be reflected in February. So, the news may not be great, but likely not nearly as dire as at first glance. I’d like to leave you with one final thought for this week and a request. The issues and problems we will address as a legislative body are broad, complicated and important to all West Virginians.

He stated that he had been in contact with Ed Given, but the lot Mr. Given had was not suitable and he asked the PSD Board to allow he and Steve Sanders to do a study of the lot behind their new office to see if both agencies could utilize the space. The board agreed and also recommended that they contact Dr. Delp about the possibility of expanding the area onto her property. The next item of business before the Board for discussion was an audit report from Zach Dobbins of Bennett & Dobbins, CPA’s. Mr. Dobbins was not present and his presentation will be rescheduled for a later date. The sewer agenda began with a report from Fred Hypes and H. Wyatt Hanna III regarding the application of necessity for Phase I of the current sewer upgrade project. Both men explained that appropriate paperwork had been filed with the PSC and US Army Corps of Engineers and that the bidding process for this project should begin in the short term. Also the PSD had received a correspondence from Rogers Cunningham concerning connection of 2 of his properties during this project. A discussion was held by the board regarding Cunningham’s situation, and the board directed Steve Sanders to contact the County Sanitarian to inspect the properties’ existing septic systems to see if they were in compliance with current regulations before taking further action. Scott Ratliff moved to pay the sewer bills as presented. John Gibson seconded the action. Attorney Hanna provided an update on the proposed financing for the water plant upgrade. Since last meeting Mr. Hanna and Bond Counsel Katy Mallory have tried to explore financing options that agree with the PSC’s ordered debt service, which is $173,512.00 per year. All of those attempts have come up empty. In the current condition, the project is short approximately $600,000 dollars. If construction is not started by March 31, 2009 that number will grow because of an increase in the prevailing wage rates. A phone conference was held with those present at the meeting, Bond Counsel Mallory, Mike Wilmoth project engineer, and Rosemary Wagner of Region VII Planning and Development Counsel. The conversation was to explore ways of finding the needed money to enable the project to move forward. Many ideas were exchanged and all parties agreed to keep working toward their goal. The group also instructed Mr. Wilmoth to contact the low bidder of the project, Orders Construction, to see if a time extension was possible for acceptance of their bid. It was reported later in the meeting that Mr. Willmoth had spoken to the contractor and they were willing to extend the time frame with a provision that the contractor would be compensated for any rising materials cost. He further said the contractor advised him that starting after March, 31 2009 could result in $50,000 dollars of increased labor cost due to the change in the labor rate. As advised by counsel, John Gibson moved and Scott Ratliff seconded to allow the PSD’s representatives to explore financing from the public and private sector. Fred Hypes reported that the bid opening for the Little Birch Water Project had taken place. Pro-Contracting from a list of projects identified. The Board agreed. The Board went in to executive session to discuss a personnel matter before adjournment. Clarksburg was the apparent low bidder at $ 441,350 and another $100,000 to install the fiber portion of the project. Hypes said he would report the bids to the Braxton County Commission for their consideration. Scott Ratliff moved to pay the water bills as presented. Todd Dingess provided a water financial update. His illustration showed the last 6 months budgeted revenue and the actual billing. In the month of January 2009 under the PSC’s new higher rate structure the PSD’s revenues came in $11,446.00 under budgeted amount. Mr. Dingess advised the board if this trend continues it could be crippling to the boards financial well being. Discussion was held regarding the situation. The board decided to review the next few months’ data before taking any action. Steve Sanders explained to the board that he had located a used 2003 GMC truck at state surplus. He said the truck was needed for the increasing maintenance related to the operations of the sewer plant. Gibson moved, and Scott seconded, to buy the truck for $6,250.00; motion carried. Sanders also spoke about his desire to liquidate some unused lab equipment at the sewer plant, he said due to using an outside agency for testing the equipment was no longer needed. The board asked the general manager to get an appraisal of the equipment and report back. The final order of business was to discuss a possible meeting with the County Commission to discuss future upgrades and needs of the utility. Sanders explained that with the possibility of economic stimulus money from Congress, it would be in the PSD’s best interest to have COMMISSION continued from page 1 Being no further business the regular meeting adjourned at 10:50 a.m. on a motion by David Jack. The next regular meeting of the Braxton County Commission will convene at 9:00 a.m. on February 20. Following the regular meeting, the Commission held a work session with representatives of the County Fire Departments, law enforcement and wrecker companies. The Commission said State Code requires such a meeting every three years. Some of the wrecker operators were unhappy with the number of runs they receive. The lengthy, sometime heated, discussion revealed that the County 91-1 center was not utilizing the wrecker rotation log. It was also brought out that the state requirement that wrecker providers, who wished to participate in the rotation practice, file necessary paper work with the 9-1-1 center annually had not been followed for a number of years. At the conclusion of the meeting, Frame said the county would provide any amendments to the current policy to the agencies for review prior to making changes.

On January 26, 2009, the State filed a petition to revoke the Defendant’s probation as a result of the Defendant committing criminal offenses in Cabell County. Judge Facemire advised the Defendant of her right to a hearing. The Defendant waived her right to that hearing and admitted the allegations in the petition. Judge Facemire revoked the Defendant’s probation and took up sentencing. Wright, through her attorney, requested the Court grant her probation or home confinement. Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Cooper opposed probation or home confinement. Judge Facemire sentenced the Defendant to the maximum term allowable by law of one year in the Penitentiary. He ordered that Wright report to the Central Regional Jail on Monday, February 9, 2009, to begin serving her sentence and be transferred to the State Penitentiary. 99 lb.

Please refer to shelter #1-09D006. LOLA’S WORLD continued from page 2 The mouse turned to the cow and said, “There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!” The cow said, “Wow, Mr. Mouse. I’m sorry for you, but it’s no skin off my nose.” So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer’s mousetrap alone. That very night a sound was heard throughout the house like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a venomous snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever. Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. But his wife’s sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well; she died. So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness. So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn’t concern you, remember. When one of us is threatened, we are all at risk. We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another. Lola B. Given [email protected] Eph. 2:8-9 CAPITOL continued from page 2 coming weeks and months.

Citizens’ NEWS Page 6 February 10, 2009 COMMUNITY CORNER PAT’S CHAT Everyone in Burnsville and surrounding areas will greatly miss Mary E. “Sally” Brown who died on Saturday, February 7. Besides serving as Emergency Medical Technician for many years, she was willing to help anyone who was ill or shut-in. By the time this Chat is published, many of us will have attended her viewing at Stockert-Gibson Funeral Home in Flatwoods on Tuesday, February 10, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. and/ or her funeral at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, February 11. My deepest sympathy to her family and friends. Last week I included comments from my brother, Harry Wiant, Jr., better known as “Sonny.” Jane Ann Riddle Richter who also grew up in Burnsville wrote to agree with Sonny’s comments about chimney being pronounced “chimley” by many folks in our part of the world. She writes, “I always love to read Sonny’s comments, and the ‘chimley’ hit home. I remember learning to spell the word chimney at some point in grade school, and the spelling made quite an impression on me which I’ll always remember. Isn’t that funny, I thought, that the word is pronounced ‘chimley’ and spelled ‘chimney’? I kept right on pronouncing it chimley until some years later when I finally put two and two together or was perhaps corrected by someone.” He also wrote about his accent. In response to that, Nancy Steele Kalinowski of Connecticut writes, “Hi Patty... had to laugh re the accent Sonny wrote about... would you believe I’ve been in CT over 50 years and people STILL comment about my accent... they think I sound like a New Yorker mostly????... not Southern, as I talk too fast... I’m amazed that people even think I have an accent!!” Last week I wrote about the movie, “Gifted Hands,” the story of Ben Carson, a Seventh-day Adventist and world-famous neurosurgeon who works at Johns Hopkins Hospital. The movie was to air on TNT. My daughter, Robin Bucklew, taped it for us since we do not get that channel. Wally Hefner, a Burnsville graduate who now lives in Flatwoods, wrote that Dr. Ben Carson had operated on him. He says, “You know I had 19 operations on my head. He did surgery on the lower sinus in my left cheek. He told Barbara [Wally’s wife] I had the hardest head he ever worked on. He said it was like going through cement. Barbara told him she knew I was hard headed. I’ve seen him in the Sunday paper on the cover of the Parade section and also I’ve seen him on T. V. All mothers should watch it [the movie]. He and his brothers and sisters were making bad grades. No father, their mother working two jobs. With the bad grades the first thing she did was turn the T.V. off and made them all read three books a week and give her a written report. Later he learned his mother couldn’t even read. They all had better grades and Ben became one of the most famous doctors in the world.” Later he wrote, “Pat: One thing I forgot to tell you was that children with seizures & other problems, he would remove 1/2 of their brain. A child’s brain will grow back. It won’t work on adults. I was up there several times [at Johns Hopkins Hospital] and he would take time to talk to me. He called me once. The White House tried to get him to work on Bush, but he said it wouldn’t work. Wally P.S. You can take some of my stories and write a book some day.” Since you, my readers, seem interested, I am going to include a few more of my brother’s memories. I really appreciate the comments I get and that some tell me that they subscribe BY PAT RIDPATH to the paper to read my Chat, or that the Chat is the first thing they read every time. Here are some of Sonny’s memories. “The Means family lived across the river from the McNemar house near the swinging bridge up in Stringtown, a suburb of Burnsville. The Means family had a parrot who would greet folks who were walking by. After hearing, ‘Hello, hello, how are you?’ some would call out, ‘Mrs. Means is that you or that crazy parrot?’ Dr. Means, who really was not a doctor but a self-taught veterinarian, if I remember correctly, drove one of the few cars in those days. He probably held the record as the world’s slowest driver. You could pass him up when walking. I remember when the first cars came out without a place to put the crank in to get them started. (You had to be careful cranking a car as you could get a broken wrist when the crank sometimes kicked back!). Bob Singleton and I just knew it was a terrible flaw, not having a place to crank. Guess we were proven wrong on that prophecy.” And again he wrote, “When I was young we kids, often with no adults, would plan weenie roasts. We would get weenies and marshmallows and head for the flat on Wade’s hill. Cut green sticks were sharpened to supply all the equipment needed, and soon a wood fire would cook our marshmallows and weenies and also would furnish the heat and light we needed after dark. The dark was the best time for ghost stories, or to admire the beauty of the stars and moon, or a time to play some games of hide and seek because hiding was easier in the dark. Some gossip was exchanged, of course. What I wouldn’t give to recapture the fun we had!” Thank you, Sonny, Jane, Nancy and Wally! You wrote my Chat for this week. Maranatha!

With what coach Rick Frame termed “awesome shooting,” Braxton downed the Wirt Tigers 64-32 on Tuesday night. Thursday’s 51-42 loss to Webster on Thursday resulted from, according to Coach Frame, 20 turnovers along with only 34 percent shooting. Capping the week with a win, the Eagles outscored 6550 on the Grizzlies’ home floor on Saturday night. Although the Braxton coach cited “too many turnovers” against Nicholas, he also commended his team for “very good intensity.” Against Wirt, the Eagles shot 64 percent from the floor and 83 percent from the foul line. Three players——Trey Chapman with 20 points, Chris Shuman with 13, and Kyle Warner with 10— —scored in double figures for Braxton. In that game, the Eagles took a 31-11 halftime lead and never looked back. Braxton turned the ball over 20 times in the game against the High- landers and found themselves outrebounded 3720. The Eagles, down 2518 at halftime, pulled close in the second half and, according to Coach Frame, “still had chances to win.” Those chances slipped away, however. Chapman and Warner, with 11 points each shared scoring honors for Braxton. Playing at Nicholas Saturday night, the Braxton’s Chris Shuman keeps the defensive pressure on Nicholas County’s Pat O’Dell as he looks for a shot. Eagles were down by four going into the second quarter but came back to take a 36-27 halftime lead. High scorers in- cluded Chapman with 19, Warner with 18, and Shuman with 14. Robert Cutlip pulled down 12 rebounds. Trey Chapman cuts off Seth Messer as he looks for room to go inside for the home team Grizzlies. (Photos courtesy of Matt Yeager of the Nicholas Chronicle.) 7th-ranked Lady Eagles move to 16-2 on season Currently ranked seventh among state AA teams, the Lady Eagles are currently riding an eightgame winning streak. Recently, Braxton posted victories over Webster, Clay, South Harrison, and Gilmer. On Jan. 30, on the Lady Highlanders’ home court, the Eagles defeated Webster 55-48. In that game Braxton led 25-15 at halftime and outscored their opponents in both quarters of the second half. Leading scorer for the Lady Eagles, Tiffani Huffman put in 21 points and led the team in assists with 5.

High-School Girls’ JV Squad 1-1 on Week After a 38-15 victory over South Harrison early last week, the high-school j-v girls lost a 35-25 decision to Gilmer on Friday night. According to jv coach Jerry Frame, the scoring definitely reflected the level of play by his girls. “I’m very happy with the way the team played against South Harrison,” Frame commented. “The girls played especially well in the second half,” he added. Frame explained that, at halftime, the Lady Eagles were up by only three but that, in the second half, “the defense stepped up and really played well. Actually, the girls played an over- all sound game.” Braxton’s defense held the Lady Hawks scoreless in the fourth quarter. Offensively, the Eagles committed only 13 turnovers to improve in that area. Braxton also did well at the foul line with a 4 of 6 performance there. Cassidy James, in double figures, with 14 points, led the Lady Eagles’ scoring, followed by Marianna White with 8, Allison March 5, Amber Shaver 2, Michelle Cottrill 5, and Lexi Greenlief 4. Increase the number of turnovers from 13 to 27, lower the field-goal shooting percentage to “around 14 percent,” and decrease the effectiveness of the defense considerably and you have, according to Coach Frame’s descriptions, Friday night’s loss to Gilmer County. “We were up 1715 at halftime,” Frame noted, “but we just fell apart in the second half. We shot poorly from the floor, and we made only 23 percent of four free throws. Also, our defense didn’t play very well, and I’m a firm believer that good defense promotes good offense.” Scoring against the Lady Titans included James with 10 points, Miranda Conrad with 9, and Greenlief 6. Lady Knights win two The middle-school girls’ varsity squad defeated Walton and Spencer last week to continue their winning ways. The 34-19 win over Walton came on Thursday at Walton, and the 57-12 victory over Spencer followed on the next night. Coach Lauri Spencer noted of the Walton game, “This game was closer than it should have been. We didn’t protect the ball.” She continued to emphasize, “This will definitely be something tht we focus on throughout the season.” Leading the Knights’ scoring against Walton was Hunter Sodaro with 14 points. In the game, the Knights went up 14-6 after the first quarter and, after Walton had narrowed the lead to 6 points at halftime, outscored Walton in the second half to take the win. Spencer commented that everyone “got to see some playing time” in the win over Spencer last Friday night. Al- Huffman contributed 18 and Frame 14. In that game the Lady Titans outscored Braxton 26-13 in the fourth quarter, but it was too little–too late, and the Lady Eagles had their sixteen win of the season. This week Braxton will play Webster here on Wednesday. On Saturday night the Lady Eagles, LKC South champions, will defend their Little Kanawha Conference championship at Roane County. At press time, their opponent had not been determined. Eagles place 4th in LKC Tyler Cottrill wins at 125 Tyler Cottrill, Braxton’s 125 lb. wrestler, headed the list of the Eagles’ trophy winners as he won the championship in his weight class in the Little Kanawha Valley Tournament held at Williamstown last Saturday. Other placers included Dalton Duffield, second at 135; Anthony Crist, second at 152; Tyler Morlan, second at 285; Clayton Shaver, third at 171; and Josh Hoffman, fourth at 215. (125#) LKC Champion Tyler Cottrill though she noted, “ Overall the girls played well,” she did comment that her players “need to protect the ball better.” Leading scorer against Spencer, Sodaro put in 18 points. Chelsie Hufffman pulled down 11 rebounds to lead in that category. In junior varsity action, defeated Walton 1917 and outscored Spencer 35-19. Logan Frame scored 8 points to lead scoring against Walton, while Kirsten Terry put in 18 against Spencer. Tyler Morlan finished 2nd in the LKC at 285 As a team, the Eagles finished in fourth place with 126 points. Calhoun emerged as LKC champion with 232 points. Second place went to Willamstown at 193 and third to Roane at 146. Braxton will wrestle in the Grafton Duals on Saturday. Dalton Duffield earn 2nd place at 135#. Clayton Shaver earned 3rd place at 171. LEGAL NOTICES Page12, Braxton Citizens’ News, February 10, 2009 NOTICE TO REDEEM To: Robert S. Hall, William R. Hall, Joyce S.
