VOICE OF THE PEOPLE SINCE 1876 - A PART OF PATRICK COUNTY’S HERITAGE
Couple indicted in
Medicaid fraud case
A Patrick Springs
couple has been indicted on multiple fraud
charges, according to
Sheriff Dan Smith.
Amanda Wyatt Nester, 31, and Gary Wayne
Nester, 42, both of VFW
Road, were indicted
Monday by a Patrick
County grand jury following an eight-month
investigation by the
United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
and the Patrick County
Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff said the
Mary Dellenback Hill said her son Joshua was bush-hogging his bottom land Saturday when
he almost hit this beautiful little late spring fawn. Luckily, he managed to get it out of the field 16 indictments allege
without touching it. “Hopefully, the mother came back for it,” Mary said.
that the couple provided false statements on
Medicaid applications
in July of 2015, including attempting to create the appearance that
Sheriff’s office carries
special Olympics torch
The Patrick County
Sheriff’s Office participated in the 2016 Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run on
Monday, June 6.
Members of the sheriff’s office, Team Patrick
County and other individuals left the steps
of the Patrick County
Courthouse at 7 a.m.
and ran the “Flame
of Hope” to the Henry
County line where they
passed the torch to runners from the Henry
County Sheriff’s Office.
The Henry County
Sheriff’s Office and the
Martinsville Police Department
continued
carrying the torch to
the Pittsylvania County line. The “Flame of
Hope” will be carried
to the capitol steps in
Richmond.
Deputy Randy Clark
organized the local
event. He said this is
the ninth year the Patrick County Sheriff’s
Office has participated
in the run, which is
aimed at helping people
with disabilities.
The torch run is a
fund-raising event in
which law enforcement
officers run the “Flame
of Hope” to the opening
ceremonies of the Special Olympics competition.
The local sheriff’s office was joined this year
by the Patrick County
Running Team, a group
of Patrick County educators and other individuals from Patrick
County.
More than 85,000 law
enforcement agencies
worldwide will participate.
According to Clerk of
Court Susan Gasperini, the following cases
were tried during May
in Patrick County Circuit Court:
• Justin Antonio
Hatcher, Stuart, convicted of child abuse
or neglect, sentenced
to five years in prison
with all time suspended except one year,
assessed costs and
restitution; convicted
of child cruelty, sentenced to five years in
prison with all time
suspended except one
year, assessed costs
and restitution.
• Antonio Donta
Keitt, Mount Airy,
N.C., convicted of two
counts of sale of a
Schedule I or II controlled substance, sentenced on each count to
10 years in prison with
all time suspended
except two years, assessed $200 fine, costs
and restitution; convicted of possession of
a firearm while in possession of a Schedule
I or II controlled substance, sentenced to

they had separated in
order to receive free
health care benefits
(Medicaid) for their two
children.
Smith said that Gary
Nester gave false information in order to
change his physical
address to a location
where no residence or
structure existed.
The
investigation
shows documented incidents and surveillance
that indicate that the
couple had in fact never
separated, according to
the sheriff.
Smith said the indictments also allege that
Amanda Nester provided false information
on numerous occasions
relating to a Medicaid
program known as Pub-
lic Partnerships LLC, in
which she was supposed
to be the in-house caregiver to a relative.
Smith said that surveillance conducted by
his office showed that
Nester was claiming
and being paid for hours
worked when she was
never at the location.
Both individuals were
previously convicted in
Patrick County Circuit
Court in 2008 of fraud,
stemming from a similar charge of providing
false information to receive benefits.

Students’ SOLs good,
principal pays price
Meadows of Dan Elementary School celebrated its students’ SOL testing May 27. Principal
Jason Wood made deals with students that they could “prank” him if their scores were good,
and they were. The whole school watched as the sixth-graders shaved Mr. Wood’s head, the
fourth-graders painted his face, the fifth-graders taped him to the wall, the third-graders made
him kiss a cow (pictured), and the seventh-graders sprayed him with Silly String. (Now, that’s
true dedication to education!)
Summer meals program
free to all children
To help combat child
hunger
during
the
summer months when
children lose access to
free and reduced price
school lunch programs,
Feeding America Southwest Virginia and the
Patrick County school
system are participating in the Summer Food
Service Program.
According to a news
release from Feeding
America Southwest Virginia, “proper nutrition
is vital to the growth
and development of
children.”
“Children facing hunger may experience
adverse health effects
including being sick
more often, being at
higher risk for chronic
health conditions and
developmental impairments,” the release
stated. “They may also
have lower academic
achievement and experience more social and
behavioral problems.”
Meals will be pro-
vided to children without charge and are the
same for all children regardless of race, color,
national origin, sex, age
or disability, and there
will be no discrimination in the course of the
meal service, the release said.

culinary and cultural
event to its stellar series of events this year.

Marcy Miller, executive
director of the museum,
notes that “the cultural
landscape of Appalachia
has become increasingly
diverse as the LatinAmerican
population
continues to grow. This
group of artists working in the region shares
their experience of our
divergent cultures coming together through
photography, sculpture,
and other media.”
Music for the first
part of the special evening will be provided by

Ferrum College June 9
Between 1920 and
1948 the top-of-theline Lincoln automobile
was a highway stunner.
Long and loaded with
comfort, they were the
cars of the rich, the powerful, and the famous.
Now dozens of the
best examples of vintage
Lincolns will be purring onto the campus of
Ferrum College for Lincolns in the Blue Ridge,
the Eastern National
Meet of the Lincoln-
Zephyr Owners Club
and the Early Lincoln
Owners Club, Saturday,
June 9, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Lincolns are known
for luxury, and the early
models were no exception. The Lincoln-Zephyr boasted 12 cylinder
motors. (Listen closely
to the famous pop song
“Hot Rod Lincoln.”) This
meet is the first Eastern
National Meet to come
to the Virginia Blue
Ridge. The vehicles will
also be touring around
Franklin, Floyd, and
Patrick Counties.
Lincolns in the Blue
Ridge is a program of
Ferrum College’s Blue
Ridge Institute & Museum, the state center
for Blue Ridge Folklore. Admission is free
and open to the public.

VOICE OF THE PEOPLE
Scholarship
I want to express my
appreciation and thanks
to the Patrick County
community for supporting the Dorn O. and
Gaynelle Spangler Memorial Scholarship.
I have been an observer of Mr. Spangler’s service to Patrick County
for many years. His wisdom and patience that
he showed in working
with groups of people in
Patrick County has been
a valuable asset to the
county. Two examples
of this would be the integration and consolidation of the Patrick County school system.
The decisions he made
as the superintendent
of schools while working with school personnel were always viewed
as fair and in the best
interest of the students.
He was a help to all of
us who were fortunate
enough to serve under
his guidance.
For these reasons, I felt
that his name and that of
his lovely wife should be
remembered in the county. He gave his all to help
the people have a better
place to live. I decided
that a scholarship in his
name would be a wonderful way to accomplish
this project.
I contacted Larry
Belcher, who is a member of the Stuart Rotary Club Scholarship
Committee, with this
idea and he was ready
to help. He and his wife
Ann, and Barbara Pendleton, felt that the Retired Teacher Association would be willing to
help get it started. I am
very thankful to them for
getting the fund started
to bring this about.
I called Mr. Spangler’s children and they
were very supportive of
this idea and with help
in raising funds for the
scholarship. We then
called several others for
help in contacting people
who knew Mr. Spangler as a teacher, coach,
classmate, superintendent and friend. The
funds raised will give an
annual scholarship to a
deserving Patrick County graduate to assist the
student in getting a college education.
My thanks to all those
who helped in making
this become a reality.

June is Great Outdoors Month
and Saturday, June 11, is National
Get Outdoors Day, also known as
GO Day, a great day to GO to a
Virginia State Park.
The 36 Virginia State Parks
are open 365 days a year, but the
summer is special with swimming,
boating, paddle boards and more
ranger-led programming to help
first-time
visitors
reconnect
youngsters to the great outdoors.
Special GO Day programs will
help families enjoy hiking, archery,
fishing,
paddling,
geocaching,
biking, tubing, swimming, campfire
cooking and much more.
Many programs are free. Some
require advance registration or
have small fees in addition to
the daily parking fee. Check the
program details for GO Day here:

“One Health” Work in the Ninth District
Morgan Griffith
Report from Washington
A recent Washington
Post story picked up
by the Roanoke Times
touches on what is a fairly new phrase, though it
has long been accepted
as a concept: the “One
Health” concept, which
the Centers for Disease
Control (CDC) describes
as recognizing “…that
the health of humans is
connected to the health
of animals and the environment.”
For further explanation, the CDC notes,
“Since the 1800s, scientists have noted the
similarity in disease
processes among animals and humans, but
human and animal
medicine were practiced
separately until the
20th century. In recent
years, through the support of key individuals
and vital events, the
One Health concept has
gained more recognition
in the public health and
animal health communities.
In its story entitled
“How rare sheep from
biblical times may help
kids with a deadly genetic
disease,”
the
Washington Post tells
of two newborn lambs
that, in 1999, became
ill, quickly declined in
health, and soon died
soon after.
The lambs were of a
rare breed known as
Jacob sheep, and efforts to determine why

they died, according to
the story, “… ultimately helped advance research into Tay-Sachs,
a genetic disease that
affects humans as well
as animals.” This is a
rare disease for which
there currently is no
cure. Sadly, it often kills
children before they
reach the age of five.
Now, “…scientists are
fine-tuning new therapy
that has extended life
spans in diseased Jacob
sheep and in cats. And
the Tay-Sachs Gene
Therapy
Consortium
plans to seek federal approval to begin clinical
trials on humans next
year.”
This new therapy
presents a ray of hope
where there previously
wasn’t one.
Similar work relating to the One Health
concept is being undertaken right in our
backyard, as the Ninth
Congressional District
is one of the few Congressional district to
have two veterinary
schools. While Lincoln
Memorial University’s
College of Veterinary
Medicine (LMU-VCM)
is technically accredited
in Tennessee, its veterinary school is located
in Ewing, which is just
over the Tennessee line
in Lee County.
The Virginia–Maryland College of Veterinary
Medicine
(VMRCVM), which is
affiliated with Virginia
Tech, has a robust biomedical sciences research program. Among
its areas of emphasis
are infectious diseases
(particularly viral infections), auto-immune
diseases, regenerative
medicine,
oncology,
and neurology, much of
which involves animal
models of disease.
While we regrettably
do not have unlimited
space in which to highlight every individual
involved in this work,
VMRCVM professor Dr.
X.J. Meng was recently
elected to the National
Academy of Sciences,
which is among the
highest honors given to
scientists in the United
States.
He was elected for his

work in virology, which
included diseases that
are zoonotic, meaning
they affect both animals and humans. He
is considered one of the
world’s leading scientists in hepatitis E virus, porcine circovirus
type 2, and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus,
and his discovery of the
swine hepatitis E virus
in pigs led to the recognition of hepatitis E as a
zoonotic disease.
Additionally,
the
Lincoln Memorial University’s
College
of
Veterinary
Medicine
(LMU-CVM) has made
One Health courses an
integral part of its curriculum. Its researchers
work on a number of animal diseases relevant
from a human health
perspective.
As an example, one
researcher is examining the mechanisms
that
leptospirosis—a
bacterial disease affecting both humans and
animals—and
Lyme
disease-causing bacteria employ in order to
successfully infect their
hosts. This research
has identified several
virulence factors, which
are being evaluated for
their usefulness as diagnostic and vaccine
candidates.
Other LMU-CVM research involves cancer
and equine asthma,
which may eventually
add to our understanding of diseases in people.
This ongoing One
Health research as well
as our ongoing efforts at
the federal level through
the 21st Century Cures
initiative (more information can be found
on my website) to find
cures for the more than
10,000 known diseases
or conditions is helping
to provide hope to patients, and I know it is
making a difference.

The Patrick County
Alzheimer’s Association
provided our residents
with an In-house yard
sale on May 26 in Blue
Ridge Therapy Connection’s recreation room.
The yard sale was open
for employees, family
members and visitors,
and all items were a dollar.
During
National
Nursing Home Week,
residents played carnival games and when
they won a prize, they
had a choice of a small
gift or Blue Ridge Therapy Connection money
to buy items during the
yard sale. We brought
many residents down to
shop at the yard sale. If
they didn’t have enough
Blue Ridge money, then
staff members asked
them trivia questions.
For every right answer,
they received a dollar.
We made the yard
sale an all day activity so we could get all
the residents there who
wanted to participate in
the shopping spree. We
also had many family
members to come down
with their loved one and
they also shopped. Staff
members had a wonderful time too, and we all
got some great deals.
We will be taking
some of our residents to
the Alzheimer’s Association’s Sock Hop on June

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY
APPALACHIAN POWER COMPANY
FOR APPROVAL OF A
100% RENEWABLE ENERGY RIDER
CASE NO. PUE-2016-00051
On April 28, 2016, Appalachian Power Company (“APCo” or “Company”) filed a petition pursuant to § 56-577 A 5 of the Code of
Virginia (“Code”) with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) for approval of a voluntary renewable energy rider, designated
Rider REO (“Application”). APCo asserts that Rider REO is a voluntary rider designed to allow participating customers to purchase their
full requirements from renewable energy generators, and that as a result, participating customers will purchase “electric energy provided 100
percent from renewable energy” as set forth in § 56-577 A 5 of the Code. If the Commission approves Rider REO as meeting this statutory
definition, Rider REO will impact the Company’s obligation to allow retail choice to certain customers seeking to purchase renewable
energy.
In its Application, the Company states that to provide energy generated from 100% renewable resources, the Company has bundled
energy output from multiple renewable generators. By combining disparate types of intermittent renewable generation, the Company states
that Rider REO creates a portfolio effect that provides renewable energy at all hours of the day, in all seasons, to participating customers.
APCo acknowledges that it cannot match the hourly output of the renewable generators to the hourly load of the participating customers.
The Company indicates that initially it will assign to Rider REO the output of its renewable generators that currently are under long-term
purchased power agreements (“Renewable PPAs”). According to APCo, as it adds additional renewable resources, such as solar, to its generation portfolio, the subscribed portion of those resources will be assigned to Rider REO.
APCo explains that the proposed pricing design for Rider REO is largely based on the weighted average cost of the Renewable PPAs,
which currently is greater than the cost of APCO’s overall generation portfolio. APCo states that proposed Rider REO also includes pricing
components for (i) the opportunity cost of not selling or optimizing the renewable energy certificates or credits associated with the Renewable PPAs and (ii) an average net amount of PJM transmission congestion and losses charges. APCo also states that the revenues collected
through Rider REO will not match the actual costs associated with the renewable energy portfolio exactly, because the output of the renewable sources is variable and unpredictable.
To ensure that customers participating in Rider REO will only pay for and receive renewable energy, the Company states that participating customers will not be subject to the following charges: (i) the fuel factor surcharge, (ii) the generation rate adjustment clause (“RAC”),
(iii) the generation function of base rates, and (iv) the demand response RAC. APCo indicates that participating customers, in addition to
paying for Rider REO, will continue to be subject to the following charges, unless otherwise exempt: (i) the transmission RAC, (ii) the
energy efficiency RAC, (iii) the transmission and distribution function of base rates, and (iv) the renewable portfolio standard RAC. The
Company proposes that the initial rate for Rider REO be set at $0.08961 per kilowatt hour.
To avoid harming non-participating customers, the Company states that it will apply revenues above those that would have been collected
under participating customers’ standard schedules as a credit to its fuel factor and the RACs that participating customers would no longer
pay. APCo represents that it will report to the Commission annually on sales made in the previous year and update Rider REO pricing for
the next year.
The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing to be held at 10 a.m. on
November 15, 2016, in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia
23219, to receive testimony of public witnesses and the evidence of the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff. Any
person desiring to testify as a public witness should appear at the hearing location fifteen (15) minutes before the starting time of the hearing
and contact the Commission’s Bailiff.
Copies of the public version of all documents filed in this case are available for interested persons to review in the Commission’s Document Control Center located on the first floor of the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, between the hours
of 8:15 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. Interested persons also may download unofficial copies from the
Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case.
Copies of the Company’s Application and the Commission’s Order for Notice and Hearing also may be inspected during regular business
hours at each of the Company’s business offices in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Copies of these documents also may be obtained, at no
charge, by submitting a written request to counsel for the Company: Noelle J. Coates, Esquire, American Electric Power Service Corporation, 1051 East Cary Street, Suite 1100, Richmond, Virginia 23219. If acceptable to the requesting party, the Company may provide the
documents by electronic means.
On or before November 8, 2016, any interested person may file written comments on the Company’s Application with Joel H. Peck,
Clerk, State Corporation Commission, c/o Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218-2118. Interested persons
desiring to file comments electronically may do so on or before November 8, 2016, by following the instructions found on the Commission’s
website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. Compact discs or any other form of electronic storage medium may not be filed with the comments. All such comments shall refer to Case No. PUE-2016-00051.
Any person or entity may participate as a respondent in this proceeding by filing a notice of participation on or before July 21, 2016. If
not filed electronically, an original and fifteen (15) copies of the notice of participation shall be filed with the Clerk of the Commission at the
address set forth above. A copy of the notice of participation as a respondent also shall be sent to counsel for the Company at the address
set forth above. Pursuant to Rule 5 VAC 5-20-80 B, Participation as a respondent, of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure
(“Rules of Practice”), any notice of participation shall set forth: (i) a precise statement of the interest of the respondent; (ii) a statement of
the specific action sought to the extent then known; and (iii) the factual and legal basis for the action. Any organization, corporation, or
government body participating as a respondent shall be represented by counsel as required by Rule 5 VAC 5-20-30, Counsel, of the Rules of
Practice. All filings shall refer to Case No. PUE-2016-00051. For additional information about participation as a respondent, any person or
entity should obtain a copy of the Commission’s Order for Notice and Hearing.
The Commission’s Rules of Practice may be viewed at the Commission’s website: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. A printed copy
of the Commission’s Rules of Practice and an official copy of the Commission’s Order for Notice and Hearing in this proceeding may be

Cougars compete in state track meet TinPen Alley Scores
The Patrick County
High School track team
ended the season with
excellent performances
at the Virginia 3A State
meet in Harrisonburg
last weekend.
“Our goal coming
in to the meet was to
compete
aggressively
and have at least two
individuals/relays earn
All-State honors,” said
Coach Danel Slaydon.
“Our kids surpassed our
expectations as we had
three All-State performances and several personal records (PRs).”
Lexy Carico placed
fourth in the discus to
earn All-State honors.
“To place that high as
a sophomore is very impressive and indicative
of a bright future. Lexy
will look to improve
upon her 133 foot PR
at the National meet,
which will be held in
Greensboro on June
17,” Slaydon said.
“The girls’ 4x800 had
a monster day on the
track. They smashed
the previous school record by seven seconds,
running
10:00.5
to
place fifth in a stacked
race,” he said. “Armonte (Carter) went
out really aggressively,
which set the tone for
the whole race. Lindsey (Marshall) and Autumn (Hubbard) were
extremely solid in the
middle, both running
big PRs, and Emma
(Hubbard) closed hard
and reeled in several
teams, including one in
the final 50 meters, to
secure fifth place and be
named All-State,” Slaydon said.
On Saturday, Juan
Cisneros started off the
day by running a big
PR in the two-mile. “He
crossed the line in 10:02,
which was good enough
to earn him 12th place.
Juan got stronger every
race this season, and
to go from missing the
state meet indoors to
placing 12th outdoors is
phenomenal,” Slaydon
said.
Next on the track was
Autumn Hubbard, who
hacked another second
off of her 400m PR, running 1:01 to place 10th.
“Autumn has placed in
the top-10 two years in
a row, which shows just
how tough and consistent she is,” he said.
“Emma Hubbard put
an exclamation on her
high school career by
placing fifth and earning All-State honors in a
very strong 800m race,”
Slaydon said. “Due to
looming storms, track
officials ran one heat
instead of two, which
made for a very interesting first-200 meters.
Emma got boxed in
pretty badly, but once

Lady Cougars fall in Region III semifinals
By Stephen
Henderson
The Patrick County
High School Lady Cougar softball team lost to
the Brookville Bees in
the 3A West semifinals
last Thursday night by a
score of 9-0.
It was a year ago that
the Lady Cougars faced
a similar situation with
the same team—they
lost to Brookville 10-0 in
that game.
Once
again,
Brookville’s Pitcher of
the Year Jordan Dale
made it difficult for the
Lady Cougars to make
an offensive attack; she
threw a no-hitter and
struck out 20 Lady Cougar batters.
PC’s Cassidy Largen was on the mound
for her 18th straight
game—her third game
in four days.
According to Lady
Cougar Coach Roger
Wilson, Largen did all
the team asked of her,
praising her and the
team for the good year
they have had this season.
The Lady Cougar de-
fense helped keep the
game in check, forcing
the Lady Bees to leave
six runners on bases.
Brookville
scored
three runs in the second
inning and six in the
sixth inning to take the
win 9-0.
Leading up to Thursday’s semifinal game,
the Lady Cougars defeated Western Albermarle at DeHart Park
after rains left standing
water at Lady Cougar
field last Monday afternoon.
The Lady Cougars
picked up five runs in
four innings. Savannah
Moorefield had three
hits and scored three
runs. Brandi Woods,

Extra splash of fuel gets Cougars
(cont. from page 11)
Blaney top ten finish
Topping off his fuel
with an extra pit stop
during the race’s second-to-last
caution
period allowed Ryan
Blaney to drive the
Motorcraft/Quick Lane
Ford Fusion to a strong
10th place finish in the
rain-delayed
Axalta
‘We Paint Winners’ 400
at Pocono Raceway.
Blaney had the Wood
Brothers’ Ford in 12th
place when the ninth
yellow flag of the race
flew. Crew chief Jeremy Bullins had his
rookie driver come
back to pit road to add
some extra fuel.
“We were really close
to being able to make it
(on fuel),” Bullins said
explaining his strategy.
“We felt like we were
far enough back to take
a gamble and top off.
We gave up a few spots
to do that but we were
able to get back where
we needed to be at the
end.”
The No. 21 slipped
back to 19th but
moved steadily forward
through the field before
getting to 10th with six
laps to go.
“There were a lot of
guys who were saving at the end and we
passed a few of them,”
Bullins continued. “We
just ran out of time to
get to the rest of them.”
The top-10 finish in
Blaney’s first Cup ride
at the “Tricky Triangle” was his fifth of the
2016 season and the
seventh time he took
the checkered flag in
the top 15.
“You come out of here
with a top-10 in your
first trip here with a
Cup car and that’s not
bad,” Bullins said summarizing the team’s effort. “We had a couple
of things we’d do differently looking back,
but all in all we’ll take
it and feel like we’ll be
stronger when we come
back in the fall.”
At the halfway point
to the Chase for the
NASCAR Sprint Cup,
Blaney remains 15th
in the drivers’ points
standings as he and the
Wood Brothers Racing
Team head to Michigan
International
Speedway for Sunday’s FireKeepers Casino 400.
Earles receives NASCAR Hall
of Fame’s Landmark Award
Martinsville Speedway Founder H. Clay
Earles is the recipient
of the NASCAR Hall of
Fame’s 2017 Landmark
Award.
The award is given
annually to a person
who has made “Outstanding Contributions
to NASCAR.”
“It’s a great day for
Martinsville
Speedway,” Earles’ grandson
and current Martinsville Speedway President Clay Campbell
said. “It’s an honor for
my grandfather to be
recognized for his contributions in the sport
by his peers, as a pioneer in the sport.
“It’s a special day and
quite an honor.”
Earles built the halfmile speedway in 1947
and held the first race
on September 7 of that
year.
Currently hosting two
Sprint Cup Series races,
Martinsville Speedway
is the only track that
was on the schedule
in the first NASCAR
Sprint Cup Series season that still hosts the
series today.
An innovator, Earles
was known for putting
top priority in the fans’
experience.
“The secret to success
in our business is giving
the customer what he
wants,” Earles said before his death in 1999.
“When a man plunks
down his money, he deserves the best. You try
to make him comfortable, give him a great
show and make sure he
gets his money’s worth.
And we’ve always tried
to do just that.
“Your customers are
your greatest assets and
that will never change.
You actually sell the
customer a memory as
much as a race. If their
memories are good,
they’ll keep coming
back.”
In 1988, Earles named
Campbell president of
Martinsville Speedway
and moved to chairman
of the board, a role he
would stay in until his
death at the age of 86 in
1999.

Patrick County scored
two more runs in the seventh. Morgan Hughes
scored Savannah Moorefield when she put down
a bunt; Melanie Roberson hit a RBI double to
score Hughes.
“We had a really good
year this year. The seniors (Brandi Woods,
Morgan Hughes and
Kelly Chandler) have

been great—they have
been fun to work with,”
Wilson said. “I will certainly miss them—they
were great leaders, and
it is hard to let the go.”
The Brookville Bees
went on to win the regional
championship,
defeating Broadway 2-1
Friday afternoon.
The Lady Cougars finished the season with an
18-5 record.

to
Rockbridge
County to play the Lady
Wildcats Tuesday.
“This was a tough
game for all our girls,”
Wilson said. “Everyone
played together and
fought to come out with
a big win,” he added.
Patrick County won 8-3.
Everyone in the order
reached base and recorded a hit to total 11
hits.
Scoring didn’t start
until the third inning
when Sydney Biggs
hit a one-out double
and reached third on a
throw-away. Savannah
Moorefield drove her in
on a single.
In the sixth inning,
Moorefield started off
the batting order with a
solo homer over center
field. Morgan Hughes
singled and a RBI single from Zoe Hutchens
lead to a two-run shot
over center for Hannah
Hylton, giving the Lady
Cougars five runs in the

PATRICK PULPITS
Have a God-centered life
John 10:10 says: “The
thief (Satan) does not
come except to steal,
and to kill, and to destroy. I (Jesus) have
come that they may
have life, and that they
may have it more abundantly.”
To live a God-centered life you must always focus your life on
God’s purposes and not
on your own plans. You
must seek God in your
decision-making
and
in your circumstances
rather than your distorted worldly outlook.
When God starts to
do something in the
world, He takes the
initiative to reveal His
will to people. For some
divine reason He has
chosen to involve His
people in accomplishing His purposes.
Romans 8:28 says:
“And we know that all
things work together
for good to those who
love God, to those who
are the called according to His purpose.” We
all need a transformation from worldly living
to Godly living serving
God instead of serving
our own pleasures in
life. We need to adjust
our lives to God, so He
will work through us
what He wants to accomplish.
God is not our servant, we are His servants so we need to
adjust our lives to what
He is about to do. If we
do not submit to God
He will allow us to follow our own way to find
soon we are going the
wrong way...we need to
be transformed to His
ways not ours.
Romans 12:1-2 says:
“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that
you present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable to
God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And
do not be conformed
to this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind,
that you may prove
what is that good and
acceptable and perfect
will of God.”
Transforming
your
mind, renewing your
mind comes from the
Bible—so open it and
enjoy what God’s Word
says. If you don’t know
God personally ask
Him to save you, get
into a Bible preaching, Bible teaching
church. If you don’t
have a church you are
welcomed to come to
New Beginning Church
on Dobyns Rd., seven
miles out of Stuart.
Until next time “be
blessed” and remember
Jesus loves you.
Farmers who are getting ready to cut and
bale hay should make a
habit of checking equipment before heading
out to the field.
“Take the time to
check your equipment,
and make sure it is in
proper working order,”
said Scott DeNoon,
farm product and underwriting manager for
Virginia Farm Bureau
Mutual Insurance Co.
“This preparation may
not only reduce field
downtime but also may
prevent accidents. Follow all of the manufacturer’s
recommendations, and inspect the
equipment to make
sure it’s up to their
specifications.”
Check bearings, hydraulic hoses, tires and
signal lights. Make
sure cutter blades,
teeth or bars are not
bent or cracked and
that the twine feeding mechanisms are
working properly. Also,
when replacing bolts,
always use shear bolts
on equipment.
Keep a charged water
or foam fire extinguisher on all hay equipment
and an ABC-type extinguisher inside all work
buildings. “Also remember to relay safety
information to each employee and anyone else
who helps you,” DeNoon said. “You need to
clearly define the safety
expectations and mirror them for your helpers.”
Before working on
equipment, always shut
it down, DeNoon said.
“Never attempt to hand
feed or remove twine
from a baler while it is
running.”
Make sure all safe-
ty
features—power
take-off shields, safety chains and chain
guards—are in place,
along with slow-moving
vehicle emblems and
reflective tape. It’s also
a good idea to use an escort vehicle when moving hay on the roadways, DeNoon said.
Before loading hay,
check all straps and
chains for frays, breaks
and tears, and replace
them if they are damaged. Do not stack
bales too high, and tie
in stacks by alternating
bales and securing each
stack.
Strap round bales
in place so they will
not roll off a wagon or
trailer. Check that the
points to which you tie
or connect the straps
are strong enough to
support the load if it
shifts.
By Dewayne Troutt
Pastor
New Beginning Church
Checking equipment can
prevent hay-cutting accidents

USDA celebrates Nat’l Homeownership Month
By Tammy Goodyear
County Executive
Director
Farm Service Agency
Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack recently
kicked off National Homeownership Month by
highlighting USDA’s ongoing role to help people
buy homes in rural areas.
“Owning a home helps
promote stable communities and is one of the
best ways American families can build wealth,”
Vilsack said. “During the
Obama Administration,
USDA has helped more
than one million rural
families and individuals realize their dreams
of homeownership. This
year, our celebration of
National
Homeownership Month will recognize partnerships with
some of the many organizations that have worked
with us to make this
achievement possible.”
USDA builds strong
relationships with lenders, home builders, realtors, community development organizations,
non-profits and housing
finance authorities to
provide homeownership
opportunities to verylow, low- and moderateincome individuals in
rural areas.
USDA’s Guaranteed
Loan program, for instance, increases access
to mortgage financing
in rural communities
by offering approved
lenders a 90 percent
loan guarantee to offset
their risk if a borrower
defaults. By partnering with approved public and private lenders,
more than one million
low- to moderate-income
families have bought
and refinanced homes in
rural America through
this program during the
Obama Administration.
The program requires no
down payment from the
applicant, offers a fixed
interest rate, and has a
30-year loan term.
The department recently
announced
a
series of changes that
will make it faster and
cheaper for rural homeowners with USDAbacked mortgages to refinance their loans and
save money with a lower
interest rate. The changes took effect June 2.
Interested homeowners with USDA loan
guarantees should contact their lender about
refinance
procedures.
Homeowners with mortgages through USDA’s
Direct Loan program
should contact a USDA
housing specialist.
In addition to mortgage financing, USDA
provides grants and
loans to help rural homeowners make improve-
ments or repairs, such
as removing health and
safety hazards or making accessibility modifications for people with
disabilities.
USDA has invested
more than $137 billion
since 2009 to support rural homeownership. In
2015 alone, the Department invested $19.5 billion to help more than
148,500 rural families
buy or make repairs and
safety upgrades to their
homes. USDA created
more homeownership opportunities through seven years of the Obama
Administration
than
during any previous
seven-year period in the
single-family
housing
program’s history.
USDA employees will
celebrate National Homeownership
Month
throughout June with
events across the nation that demonstrate
the commitment to provide access to affordable
housing for low- and
moderate-income rural
residents. To learn more
about USDA’s observance of National Homeownership Month, please
visit its Facebook page or
contact a Rural Development State Office.
USDA Rural Development (@usdaRD) has
helped 1.1 million rural residents buy homes
since 2009; funded nearly 7,000 community facilities such as schools,
public safety and health
care facilities; and invested $31.3 billion in
963 electric projects
that have financed more
than 185,000 miles of
transmission and distribution lines serving 4.6
million rural residents.
USDA also has invested
$11 billion to start or expand 103,000 rural businesses; and helped bring
high-speed Internet access to nearly 6 million
rural residents and businesses. For more information, visit www.usda.
gov/results.
