Sutton woman arrested Central WV Animal Hospital
welcomes new veterinarian
after son found dead
What began as a routine wellness check by authorities led to a gruesome
discovery last week when
authorities found the body
of an 8 year old child inside his mother’s house,
dead. The youth had been
deceased for some time.
Trooper G. H. Jones
of the Sutton Detachment
of the West Virginia State
Police was asked to accompany health care worker
Amy Bailes to conduct a
welfare check of the youth
at the home of Valarie Lee
Brown, 39, at 145 Salt Lick
Road. Officials stated that
hospice workers had tried
to visit the child on several
occasions but had been
denied entry.
When Trooper Jones
and Bailes arrived at
Brown’s home on Wednesday, they were told that
the youth was not at home,
but she eventually gave
consent for the pair to en-
Valarie Lee Brown
ter the home. Once inside,
the officer discovered the
child, wrapped in a blanket. Officials believe
Brown had been keeping
the body in the house for
an extended period of time
ranging from several days
to weeks, due to the decomposed state of the
body.
Brown was charged
with felony child neglect
resulting in death. She was
arraigned before Braxton
County Magistrate Rob
Hamil and lodged in the
Central Regional Jail in
lieu of a $100,000 cash
only bond where she remained at press-time.
The body was sent to
the
State
Medical
Examiner’s Office to determine the cause and time
of death. Officials stated
that the child had a terminal medical condition that
required regular medical
visits.
Brown’s younger
child was not at home at
the time. He was being
cared for by relatives.
If convicted of the
child neglect resulting in
death charge, Brown faces
3 to 15 years in prison and
a fine of up to $5,000.
Trooper Jones stated that
the investigation is continuing and that additional charges may be
pending.
Kroger donates $32,000
to Mountaineer Food Bank
Kroger presented the
Mountaineer Food Bank
with $32,000 as its share
of the funds raised to assist hunger relief efforts in
West Virginia.
It’s the largest share
of the $118,000 donated by
Kroger’s Mid-Atlantic region to food banks in its
area, which includes West
Virginia, Virginia, North
Carolina, and portions of
Ohio, Kentucky, and Ten-
nessee. Kroger also made
a donation to the Huntington Area Food Bank.
The funds resulted
from Kroger’s Bringing
Hope to the Table program, which raised $3 million this year to support
Feeding America and its
member food banks that
operate in communities
served by Kroger.
“I extend the gratitude of the Mountaineer
Joe Antolini, Kroger’s district manager, (Right)
presented the check to Mountaineer Food Bank Director
Carla Nardella along with the Gassaway Kroger Store
manager Mike Grubb and members of the local staff.
Food Bank to Kroger for its
generous contribution,”
said Carla Nardella, executive director of the
Mountaineer Food Bank.
“This donation from
Kroger, its employees and
customers helps to make
our mission of alleviating
hunger in West Virginia a
reality for the thousands
of people we serve in 48
counties in our state.
“For years, Kroger
has provided support to us
through the Bringing Hope
to the Table campaign,”
added Nardella. “In addition, Kroger supports our
mission by donating thousands of pounds of food
every day.”
She said the $32,000
from Kroger will be used
toward the Food Bank’s
operating expenses necessary to maintain safe handling practices of foods received until they are distributed.

Dr. Ross Young and
his staff are welcoming a
second veterinarian to the
Central West Virginia Animal Hospital. Braxton
County native Dr. Edith
Johnson, who received her
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from the University of
Georgia in May of this
year, began work at the
local animal hospital July
2.
Johnson, a graduate
of Braxton County High
School and West Virginia
University, where she received an undergraduate
degree in Animal Science
and Nutrition, has been a
familiar figure at the hospital for several years. “I
began working there the
summer after my freshman year at WVU,” she
said, “and worked there
every summer since then
except last summer.” Her
clinical year included last
summer. She did, however, do an internship with
Dr. Young as part of her
clinical training.
The transition from
student to practicing veterinarian has proved relatively easy, Johnson
noted. She did say, “Work- ever, the past year [cliniing as a full-time veteri- cal year] helped prepare

duty
at the
residence
of a friend in Frametown
recently when he noticed two young children
operating an all-terrain
vehicle on a nearby road.
Shortly after the ATV
disappeared from view,
OFC Wells heard what
he believed was an accident. He ran to the area
and discovered the vehicle overturned in a
stream with a 6 year-old
girl trapped underneath.
Disregarding his
own
safety,
Wells
worked quickly to free
the submerged victim
and moved her to a safe
location. He began
checking for injuries
and found a severe laceration to the inner
thigh near the femoral
artery. Wells applied
cold water to clean the
wound and stop the
bleeding and placed a
to boats and trailers on
Friday and Saturday, July
19 and 20 due to the festive. Boat launching will
remain open at the South
Abutment ramp behind
the Dam.
Did you ever wonder
how they could build a
dam and create a lake in
the middle of a flowing
river? Do you ever wonder why the Elk River is so
low, when there has been
so much rain, or why it is
so high when it hasn’t
rained for several days?
The Corps of Engineers at Sutton Lake will
offer tours of Sutton Dam
on Sunday, July 21, from
10 am until 2 pm. Participants will learn how and
why Sutton Dam was
built, and basic principles
of operation.
Due to security regulations, all adults must
show a government provided photo ID in order to
participate in a tour.

performance last year at the Mountain Lakes Festival.
Quick action averts disaster

the laceration. The child
was then transported to
a local hospital as her
parents were contacted.
She received approximately 60 stitches to
close the wound and will
have to undergo skin
grafts to repair the damaged area.

Our views • Your views • Their views
As I
See It
By Ed Given
Not really surprising…
We don’t often print articles from other
newspapers. We normally have more demand
than what our pages will accommodate and
we owe our allegiance to the local readership.
I have broken from that policy with a story
that appears on Page 3 of this edition. There,
you will find a story outlining a survey
recently released, that details the low
computer usage in our state. The article is
well written by Charleston Gazette reporter
Eric Fyre and verifies an argument that I
have often made.
Our own Lee Fisher is also quoted in the
article. As is indicated in the writing, Lee has
served on the state-wide broad band council
for some time. Lee and I have had numerous
discussions on the subject. As you can see
from the adjoining story, his thoughts are not
much different than my own.
The article deals with computer
ownership. It does mention that many
residents don’t sign up for high speed service
even when it is available. Lee attributes this
occurrence to the age of our citizens and I
can’t argue that point. I do believe that there
is a large segment our residents that simply
don’t want to be bothered by a computer. That
segment is certainly much larger in West
Virginia than the group that lives every
second via their twitter/facebook connections.
I have conducted a much more informal
survey over the years in preparation for
developing a marketing plan for the Citizens’
News. My best guess, and it’s just that, a guess,
not a scientific fact, is that something less than
25% of West Virginia residents use a computer
in their home for non-work related activities.
I must admit that I get a little frustrated
when I run across people who want to utilize
the internet as a primary means of alerting
the public of an event or occurrence. Now I’m
not against the internet, I think it has
tremendous advantage. Lord knows we could
never get the paper out without the good ole
World Wide Web. But… it can’t replace other
reliable means of communication, i.e. daily
and weekly newspapers, as the primary
source of accurate information. I emphasize
“accurate” in this statement. Newspapers
have credibility that should not be extended
to the internet. For the most part… if you
read it in a newspaper, it is true. That is not
the same with what comes across the
internet, particularly on social media sites.
You only have to look back a few weeks to see
the mess that rumors caused at Sutton Lake.
I think computers are great. They have
certainly changed our way of life. More
importantly, they open up a world of
knowledge that has never been at our
fingertips before. However, I understand why
many don’t take the time to learn how to use
them. Maybe its cost and/or broadband
availability. I imagine it’s more a matter that
such machines don’t fit into many of our laidback way of life… and that’s ok too. Neverthe-less, the article makes for some
interesting reading.

Researchers reporting in the May 2013 issue
of Environmental Nutrition suggests that some
foods, beverages and dietary habits may trigger
migraine headaches.
Some possible triggers
are: skipping meals;
drinking alcoholic beverages especially red wine
and beer; consuming
foods that contain
Tyramine (a compound
that can cause blood vessels to dilate) found in red
wine, beer, chocolate,
avocados, aged cheese,
dairy foods, nuts, overripe
bananas, soy sauce, pork
and processed meats;
consuming foods that contain MSG a flavor enhancer; consuming foods
that contain nitrates/nitrites often found in vegetables and processed
meats; consuming beverages that contain Aspartame and consuming caffeine. If you suffer from
migraine headaches start
keeping a food diary. Log
any migraine symptoms
and match up your symptoms with recent food intake. Over time you
should be able to reduce
the amount or frequency
of food triggers and this
might leave you migraine
free. Be sure to consult
with your physician if you
have any questions.
A study recently published in the journal BMJ
states a high intake of fatty
acids found in salmon, tuna
or sardines has been associated with a reduction in
the risk of breast cancer in
later life. The study suggests one or two servings of
oily fish per week per person along with regular exercise, eating plenty of
fruits/vegetables and do
not smoke to reduce the risk
of breast cancers. As always
consult with your physician
if you have any questions
regarding this study.
The CDC reports that
1 of every 4 adults older
than 65 have no natural
teeth. Picture all those
people attempting to eat
corn-on-the-cob this coming weekend. Not a pretty
sight. The bacteria that
live in your mouth love
sugar or fermentable
carbs, which help produce
acids that destroy the protective mineral coating of
tooth enamel resulting in
weak, decaying teeth.
Just look at this!

bacteria? Sugary sodas,
fruit drinks, energy drinks,
sweet tea, sugar sweetened coffee and espresso
drinks (with up to 9 teaspoons of sugar). Some
foods that destroy teeth
are raisins, dried fruits,
candies, cookies and
cakes. The good news is
there are good foods for
strengthening your teeth.
Sugar free gums, fresh
fruits, fresh veggies, protein foods and whole-grain
foods help neutralize bad
acids in your mouth and
do not feed mouth bacteria. To help save your teeth

When Ponce de Leon

from this plant was fed to
fruit flies they lived 24%
longer than their healthy
peers. This plant has been
used for hundreds of years
to treat seasonal depression. It is commonly used
in salads and brewed into
tea. Plant derived medications like aspirin,
digoxin and codeine were
responsible for a large portion of all prescriptions
filled last year. Tests on
humans will begin soon
but the placebo effect can
have a powerful effect on
the results. However fruit
flies do not suffer from this
and do not lie about the results. Fortunately more
doctors are willing to resort to herbal remedies to
treat their patients. Before taking any herbal
supplements consult with
your personal physician.
Better to trust your physician than a fruit fly.

She and Dr. Young
have established a schedule in order to use both of
their skills more efficiently.
Dr. Johnson explained, “I
see patients in the morning. Then, right after
lunch, I do surgery, usually two or three a day.
Following that, I see patients again. Dr. Young
performs surgery in the
morning and sees patients
in the afternoon.”
She continued, “We
work well together, and, of
course, I am learning a lot
from him. He and Chris
[Young] have both been
wonderful to me.” Emphasizing the ease in which
she has begun work at the
hospital, Dr. Johnson said,
“The staff has been wonderful, too. We have a great
staff, and they make my
job easier.”
Asked when she first
became interested in becoming a veterinarian, Dr.
Johnson went back to her
childhood. “I’ve always
liked animals and, having
grown up on a farm, have
always been around
them,” she said. “I have
also always enjoyed helping people, so it just
seemed a natural choice,”
she added.
Always a fan of the
outdoors, Dr. Johnson
said she “enjoys farming,”
and even commented that
she would be helping put
up hay on Monday, which
was her day off. “On our
family farm, we have 60
cows, and I have a horse,”
she said. Adding “I get
outside as much as possible,” she said she likes
horseback riding and
hanging out with her three
dogs.
Pleased that someone
as competent as Dr.
Johnson has joined him in
the animal hospital, Dr.
Young said, “We’ve known
Edie for several years,
and we definitely feel fortunate that she has chosen to work with us here
at Central West Virginia
Animal Hospital.” Young
also emphasized, “Everything is going smoothly.
Dr. Johnson is doing a
great job.”

earlier to give more time
to run the entries. The
Monster Trucks will
have their final show at
approximately 3:00 PM.
Ash Bowers will take the
stage at 7:30 PM. Bowers is an up and coming
new songwriting and
singing talent from
Jackson, TN. He recently released his debut country album,
“Shake It Off.”
At 9:00 PM, everyone will be treated to a
performance by Daryle
Singletary, Mark Wills
and Andy Griggs. These
three performers are
touring together and
will sing some of their
hit singles and perform
together.
Hardcore
country traditionalist,
Daryle Singletary, has
built a career based on
musical integrity. With
chart-topping singles including “I’m Living Up to
Her Low Expectations,”
“I Let Her Lie,” “Too
Much Fun” & “Amen
Kind of Love,” among
many others, Daryle
Singletary still knows
who he is, and still
knows what he likes.
Andy Griggs grew
up listening to 10,000
different albums, all the
way
from
Jimmy
Swaggart to Prince and
everything in between.
It’s been a long road
from those early days as
a fresh-faced newcomer
to the path he’s treading
now, but with hits under his belt like “You
Won’t Ever Be Lonely,”
“She’s More,” and “If
Heaven,” he’s eager and
ready to launch this new
chapter in his career.
Have a chat with
Mark Wills for a few
minutes, and he’s likely
to discuss the passions
of his life - his music, his
family, the live concerts,
and his TV show “3 Gun
Nation.” Wills has numerous hits under his
belt already - “Jacob’s
Ladder,” “Don’t Laugh
At Me,” “I Do (Cherish
You)” and his sevenweek
number
one
smash, “19 Something,”
which was the 2 nd most
played song ON country
radio for the 2010 decade to name just a few.

Study: 1 in 3 W.Va. homes
does not have a computer
By Eric Eyre
The Charleston Gazette
West Virginia’s push
to expand high-speed
Internet might be more
complicated than making
broadband service available by stringing copper
wire or fiber on poles to
people’s homes.
A new federal study
shows slightly more than
35 percent of West Virginia
households don’t own a
computer — the secondlowest ranking of any
state in the survey.
The low computer
ownership numbers help
explain why many West
Virginians don’t sign up
for high-speed Internet
service, even where it’s
available.
The study — called
“Exploring the Digital Nation” — shows that 59 percent of West Virginia
households subscribe to
high-speed
Internet.
That’s the eighth-lowest
Internet adoption rate
among the 50 states, although West Virginia’s
ranking has improved from
past years.
“The report is clearly,
in my opinion, a report on
age groups and their habits as much as it is on the
subject of adoption rates,”
said Lee Fisher, who
serves on the West Virginia Broadband Deployment Council. “So in those
states where an aging
population, like in West
Virginia, is an issue, I don’t
believe you will ever have
the adoption rates that
people seem to shoot for
until the demographic
changes.”
Nationally, 70 percent of homes are hooked
up to the Internet.
“Even with our improved ‘take rate’ up in the
60-percent range, we are
still way behind most of
the country,” said Dan
O’Hanlon, chairman of the
Broadband Deployment
Council
The study by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration cited several
reasons why people don’t
sign up for Internet service: lack of interest; it’s
too expensive; and they
don’t have a computer.
Mississippi had 35.5
percent of homes without
computers, the lowest
ownership rate in the nation, followed by West
Virginia’s at 35.4 percent.
By contrast, 85 percent of
homes have computers in
Washington state, the
highest percentage in the
nation, according to the
study.
To increase computer
ownership, O’Hanlon suggested the state work with
nonprofit groups, such as
Mission West Virginia, that
provide refurbished computers to homes that don’t
have them.
“The report actually
shows us there are things
the Broadband Council
can do to raise our rate of
broadband use in West
Virginia,” he said.
Frontier Communications, West Virginia’s
largest broadband provider, has spent tens of
millions of dollars in recent
years to make high-speed

Internet available across
the state.
West Virginia also received a $126.3 million
grant to extend high-speed
fiber to public facilities,
though homes and business haven’t been included in the project.
The Broadband Deployment Council distributed $2 million last year
for projects designed to
bring wireless Internet to
homes in rural communities.
The council turned
down a handful of “demand promotion” projects
intended to increase the
number of people who subscribe to high-speed
Internet.
At the time, state law
required the Broadband
Deployment Council to
award money for such
projects in remote areas
without Internet service.
Council members said it
didn’t make sense to spur
people to sign up for broadband if the service wasn’t
available.
State lawmakers
have since passed a bill
that allows the broadband
council to distribute
money for projects that
increase the demand for
broadband anywhere in
West Virginia.
Fisher said state
leaders must do more to
promote the use of broadband technology “as an
economic development
tool.”
“Until West Virginia
finds this person or group
of persons to not only talk
about it every day and
fund it every year, I don’t
think West Virginia will
ever be at the top of any of
these surveys,” said
Fisher.
The federal report,
which examined U.S. Census data, also details how
and why people go online.
The report found that
34 percent of Internet users searched for jobs, while
35 percent shopped for
health insurance plans.
About a third of Internet
users ages 25 to 44 went
online for news, compared
to 8 percent of users 65
and older.
The report found almost all people who used
the Internet at home did
so with a high-speed
broadband connection. In
West Virginia, 3 percent of
Internet users still had
dial-up
connections
through phones — the
third-highest rate among
the 50 states, according to
the study.
“The data show that
Americans depend on the
Internet use to engage in
a wide range of activities,”
said Lawrence Strickling,
U.S. assistant secretary of
communications, in a release. “It underscores the
need for us to continue
our efforts to ensure all
Americans have access to
broadband.”

Volunteers
are
needed for the 2013 Recreation Season (which
runs through the beginning of December) at
Burnsville Lake in
Burnsville.
Those selected will
be given a free fullhookup campsite at either Bulltown or Riffle
Run Campground for
providing 20 to 25 hours
of work per week. Typical volunteer duties include: staffing a visitor
center, giving tours,
providing living history,
mowing, string trimming, cleaning facilities
and grounds, painting,
light carpentry, and
general maintenance
support.
Volunteer support
is extremely important
to help keep areas open.
Dedicated volunteers
have operated the Riffle
Run Campground for
several years, making it
possible to keep that
campground open without shortened seasons
or reduced services.
There is currently a
need for volunteers to do
string trimming and
cleaning for that area for
the remainder of the
season.
Those interested in
volunteering may contact a Burnsville Lake
Park Ranger at 304853-2371.

BURNSVILLE NEWS
T h e
Burnsville Lions
Club will
be having a Hot
Dog Fundraiser on
Saturday,
July 20,
from 11 AM to 4 PM at
the parking lot of the
Bank of Gassaway here
in Burnsville. Stop by for
a delicious grilled hot dog
with all the fixings and a
cold drink! Whenever a
Lions club gets together,
problems get smaller.
And communities get
better. That’s because we
help where help is needed
– in our own communities
and around the world –
with unmatched integrity
and energy.
Sympathy is extended to the family of Delbert Hosey of Copen who
passed away. Mr. Hosey
was my high school bus
operator. My thoughts
and prayers are with the
family.
Sympathy is extended to the family of Charles
Roy Dean of Moorefield.
His daughter-in-law,
Margaret Ann, worked
with me at the Pendleton Community Bank
in Moorefield. She just
stopped by here a couple
of weeks ago. At that
time, she said that Mr.
Dean’s health was failing.
This past week we
had visitors from Moorefield. Our friends and
neighbors, the Alt family,
stopped by on Monday
evening. They had taken
a tour of Wesleyan College
that day. Their youngest
daughter, Leah, will be
a senior at Moorefield
High School. She really
enjoyed the campus tour.
She plans in majoring in
biology and possibly going on to medical school.
Mike, Joyce, Gina &
Leah were our neighbors
when we first moved to
Moorefield. They have 2
chicken houses that they
work at 24/7 and also
both drive school buses.
Gina just graduated from
WVU. She is working
locally in Moorefield for
the Department of Agriculture.
This past Thursday
the WVDOH cut some
tree limbs along Browns
Run. Thanks for the trim
job. I hope that they are
coming back real soon to
clean them up. As soon
as we get rain & high water, those limbs will block
the culverts. Also, those
limbs don’t look very good
lying beside of the road.
Most of the residents on
Browns Run mow along
the road and keep it neat
& clean. So, please come
back & clean up your
mess. Another thing
that happened was that
they accidentally cut the
telephone line and put at
TRUTH OR TRADITION?
“All scripture is given by inspiration of God.”
2 Timothy 3:16
External Evidences. In addition to many Internal Evidences of inspiration, there are a number
of External Evidences: 1. Its Permanence. All those
who have sought to destroy it are gone, it remains.
2. Its Influence. Wherever The Bible has gone around
the world, freedom and morality have increased. 3.
Archaeology.
Two Historical Records. God has preserved two
copies of His dealings with His people. One is The
Bible, the written word, given by inspiration, and
preserved by providence. The other is written in the
ruined remains of those lands where His people have
lived. Archaeology has to do with the research and
careful study of those ruins, relics, and artifacts. Just
as true science and true religion are in complete harmony, we are finding that these two historical records
are in complete agreement. Archaeology confirms the
written word.
The Value of Archaeology. Archaeology cannot
prove inspiration of The Bible, but it can do four things:
1) Illuminate – Shed new light on biblical customs,
practices, and places;
2) Confirm – Provide additional evidence of something mentioned in the Scriptures; 3) Correct – Refute
bad theories by providing new information; 4) Supplement – Add to our knowledge of the past by supplying
details not mentioned by the biblical writers about
people, places, and events. Thompson’s New ChainReference Bible has an archaeological supplement of
more than 50 pages, with more than 100 entries, all
confirming the biblical account. Space will allow us
to look at only a few of these.
The Code of Hammurabi. For ages skeptics questioned the authorship of The Pentateuch, the first five
books of The Bible, written by Moses, believing that
writing was unknown in Moses’ day (ca. 1500 BC). In
1901-02 a French archaeologist excavating Susa in
Persia (Shushan of Esther) discovered a monument
with some 4,000 lines of inscriptions that involved
some 248 laws that were given by Hammurabi, king
of Babylon, about 1750 BC, some 250 years before
Moses. Moses, it will be remembered, was brought up
by Pharaoh’s daughter, and trained in all the learning
of the Egyptians, an advanced civilization of the day.
This discovery shows that civilization was highly developed and that writing was known long before Moses
came on the scene.
Jericho. Jericho was the first city captured by
Israel in their conquest of Canaan. They marched
around the city a total of thirteen times, shouted,
blew on trumpets, and the walls came tumbling down.
The city was taken and burned with fire (Joshua 6).
Excavation of the ancient town began in 1868, and
revealed that the city was destroyed about 1400 BC,
corresponding to the time of Joshua. The walls of the
city had fallen outward, suggesting that they had not
been battered down, and the city had indeed been
burned with fire.

Combine ground seeds
with dates and ½ C walnuts. Process in food
processor. Add carob
powder, salt, honey and
vanilla and process till
smooth. Spread into
greased 8” x 8” dish,
and flatten mixture with
hands. Sprinkle ½ C
chopped walnuts on top
and press slightly. (I
used a half of a walnut
on each square. If you
do this, cut squares
first.) Cut into 16
squares.

JUST ONE GENERATION is not only
the motto for the Braxton County affiliate of
PURR WV, it is also
the goal.
The organization was created in
response to the severe
overpopulation of cats in
our community. Our primary purpose is to spay
and neuter the many unclaimed cats(often called
“feral” or “wild”) , and help
them to live a healthier
existence. We recognize
that cats are by nature
social animals that can
provide love and companionship when they have
had an opportunity to be
where they have received abundant love
and attention.

the kittens presented in
this series will have been

surprised than Laura
when the abandoned
“male” cat she rescued
as a young kitten had a
litter of its own. These
kittens were born on April

had age-appropriate immunizations at the time
of their adoption.
The
litter in the current listing will be vetted on July
29, and will be ready for
pick-up on Wed. July 31.
The cost for adoption is
$25.00 for one kitten
and $40 for two, which
properly socialized.
The kittens seen
here were either born to
feral mothers or found
abandoned at young
ages. They have been
raised in foster homes,

All available kittens can

Kesterson.
Aaron Crites, assistant professor of history at West Virginia
University at Parkersburg noted that, “Johnson’s retreat has been
given little if any study
in the grand scheme
of the Civil War due to
the Gettysburg and the
Vicksburg campaigns
not to mention the exploits of Morgan and his
eventual capture and
daring prison escape
from the Ohio Penitentiary. “Stovepipe” Johnson’s Retreat was effectively one of these meager stories that were a
footnote in the papers
of the day, but thanks
to the diligence of Kesterson and his never
ending love for our local stories, it has been
brought to the light
of day. Kesterson has
edited and developed a
strong piece of history
and a driving tour that
will help the reader follow the exploits of this
forgotten Confederate
Colonel. Scholars of
Morgan’s Raid and the
Battle of Bufington Island will definitely appreciate the accounts
in this work, but the
average reader will appreciate the driving tour
aspect of the book as
it gives relevance to all
who are willing to turn
its pages, read and be
enlightened.” Only 500
copies of this book have
been printed.

VA, but was raised in
West Virginia. Both of
them graduated from
Oak Hill High School in
1991. The couple has
two children - daughter,
Morgan, 17, and a son,

Hornsby’s hometown
of Scarbro, WV.
Dr. Hornsby is delighted to return to his
home state and said, “I
look forward to working
at SJMH and living in
this area for many reasons...first it puts me
back in West Virginia.
Also, it is a beautiful
part of the state that
has a lot of outdoor
activities available. For
someone who loves to
hunt and likes to fish...
this is perfect. Additionally, there are several
college options for my
children in the area. I
look forward to returning to rural West Virginia to start my medical practice and take
care of residents in the
community.”
SJMH CEO Avah
Stalnaker noted, “It is
a pleasure to welcome
Dr. Brian Hornsby and
his family home to West
Virginia. The family
wants to return to West
Virginia where people
are friendly, patients
are appreciative of the
care they receive, the
scenery beautiful, there
are four seasons and
the crime rate is low.
This young family has
purchased a home and
will be a great addition
to the medical staff at
SJMH as well as the
community in which
we live.”

Tara Arnold named Stonewall
Jackson Memorial Hospital
Employee of the Month
Tara Arnold of SJMH was named June Employee of
the Month thanks for her willingness to help others no
matter what.
Tara is the Clinical
IT Specialist here. She
began at SJMH in January 2010 as a nursing
assistant in the Special
Delivery Unit. She and
her husband Todd are
the parents of a newborn baby girl – Alivia.
They live in Weston.
She is the daughter of
Doran and Cheryl Davis.
Tara has one brother,
Corey.
She is a LCHS
graduate and received
a Bachelor’s in Public
Relations and Master’s
in Business Administration in 2008 from West
Virginia Wesleyan College, Buckhannon.
A number of her coworkers nominated Tara
The family of Phyllis A. Paintiff would like
to express our sincere
gratitude for all the care
and kindness shown to
us during the loss of
our wife, mother, and
grandmother. A special
thank you to Richard
M. Roach Funeral Home
for their professional
services, the Lloyd boys
with the following: “Tara
is always willing to lend
a helping hand. After
the last CPSI update, I
became very frustrated.
Tara came into my office and stayed with me
until we got the situation resolved. Tara is always helping others; she
never complains about
her job and always has
a smile on her face. She
puts up with all of us in
the business office that
are not computer savvy.
We want to thank Tara
for all of her hard work
and we feel that she
should be considered for
employee of the month
because of her attitude
and willingness to help
anyone, no matter what
it might be.”
Her supervisor,
Rusty Simpson, noted,
“Tara is a great asset,
not only to the IT department but the Hospital. She works well
with the physicians and
Hospital staff.”
Tara returned the
compliment and said, “I
enjoy working with everyone at SJMH. My coworkers are extremely
caring and have been
wonderful throughout
my pregnancy. I really
felt like I was part of a
big family.”
In her spare time,
Tara enjoys boating
at Stonewall Lake and
photography.
Paintiff family thank you
Skidmore note of thanks
The family of Nora
Belle Skidmore wishes
to express our deepest
gratitude and appreciation for all the love and
support shown to us
during the loss of our
mother.
A special thank
you to Pastors Ryan
Skidmore and John
McQuain , Roach Funeral Home, Gassaway
Baptist Church, Dr.
Darla Ghant and staff,
those who opened and
closed the grave and all
of those who expressed
love and prayers, provided food , sent flowers,
cards and telephone
calls.
Thank you all very
much. Glenna, Danny,
Mary, Polly and families.
for readying the grave,
all ladies of the Charity Baptist Church and
upper Sleith Church for
the wonderful dinner,
the pallbearers—Jerry
Conningham, Bill Singleton, Jeff McCourt,
Terry Allen Short Jr.,
Easton Adkins, Chase
Singleton, Ricky and
Darrell Myers, and
whomever sent food,
cards and flowers. A
very special thank you
to Evangelist Gary W.

To help these new

emergency call for blood
and platelet donors
The American Red
Cross has issued an
emergency request for
platelet and blood donors
of all blood types to roll
up a sleeve and give because many fewer donations than expected were
received in June and the
first week of July.
“We are counting
on generous volunteer
blood and platelet donors
to step up and give now,”
said John Hagins, CEO of
the Red Cross Greater Alleghenies Blood Services
Region. “Every two seconds, someone in the U.S.
needs blood. Each day
donations come up short,
less blood is available for
these patients in need.”
Nationwide, donations through the Red
Cross were down approximately 10 percent in
June, resulting in about
50,000 fewer donations
than expected. The shortfall is similar to what the
Red Cross experienced in
June 2012.
June can be among
the most challenging
months of the year for
blood and platelet donations as regular donors delay giving while
they adjust to summer
schedules. Nationally,
high school and college
blood drives account for
as much as 20 percent
of Red Cross donations
during the school year.
In the Greater Alleghenies
Region, blood drives sponsored by schools represent about 30 percent of
the 100-county blood region’s annual donations.
Donations from
those who usually give
at these drives drop by
more than 80 percent
when school is out for the
summer. In addition, a
mid-week Independence
Day holiday reduced the
number of blood drives
scheduled in early July.
Many sponsors, especially
businesses, were unable
to host drives because
employees took extended
vacations.
The Red Cross urgently needs donations
to help ensure an adequate blood supply is
available for patients all
summer long. Each day,
the American Red Cross
Greater Alleghenies Blood
Region needs approximately 700 donors to step
forward and give blood.
Eligible donors with types
O negative, B negative
and A negative blood are
especially encouraged to
give. Type O negative is
the universal blood type
and can be transfused to
anyone who needs blood.
Types A negative and B
negative can be transfused to Rh positive or
negative patients.
There is also an
urgent need for platelet
donations. Platelets – a
key clotting component
of blood often needed by
cancer patients - must
be transfused within
five days of donation, so
it’s important to have a
steady supply of platelets
on hand. To schedule an
appointment to donate
platelets at the Greater Alleghenies Region’s platelet
donation centers in Altoona, Beaver, Greensburg, Johnstown and
State College, Pa., please
call 1-800-542-5663, ext.
2633, 2637 or 2657.
To donate blood
simply call 1-800-RED
CROSS (1-800-733-2767)
or click to make an appointment or for more
information. All blood
types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for
patients. A blood donor
card or driver’s license,
or two other forms of
identification are required
at check-in. Individuals
who are 17 years of age
(16 with parental permission in some states),
weigh at least 110 pounds
and are in generally good
health may be eligible to
donate blood. High school
students and other donors 18 years of age and
younger also have to meet
certain height and weight
requirements.
The American Red
Cross shelters, feeds and
provides emotional support to victims of disasters; supplies about 40
percent of the nation’s
blood; teaches skills that
save lives; provides international humanitarian
aid; and supports military
members and their families. The Red Cross is a
not-for-profit organization
that depends on volunteers and the generosity
of the American public
to perform its mission.
