Local snowboarder
making his mark
While most may be
disappointed in the delay
of spring weather; it
couldn’t be better news
for one local student.
Sterling “Price” Beane, III
is thrilled winter snow
conditions are expected to
last through late March.
As a member of
Snowshoe
Mountain
Freestyle Snowboarding
Team, Price has competed in events such as
boarder cross, slalom,
and giant slalom at
Snowshoe Mountain and
Timberline Resort, both
in West Virginia. He also
enjoys freestyle terrain
such as the half-pipe and
terrain park.
Last winter, Price
finished 3 rd in his age division at the Timberline
Boarder Cross, where he
was the youngest competitor. In addition, he
qualified for the NASTAR
National Championship
Competition in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
However, due to a skateboard accident, he was
not able to participate.
Route 66 Snowboard
Shop, located at the base
of Snowshoe Mountain
has become Price’s official snowboard clothing
and equipment sponsor.
“I am excited to be riding
for Rt. 66,” Price exclaimed, “it makes me
work harder and motivates me to improve my
riding,” he admitted.
Owner,
Beryl
Minghini, is the proud
mother
of
Bobbie
Minghini, a World Class
Snowboarder who re-
cently competed in the
Winter X Games in Aspen, Colorado. Price has
been invited to train with
Bobbie in Lake Tahoe
this summer.
Price has participated
in
summer
snowboarding camps at
Whistler, B.C., Canada;
as well as vacationed in
Canada since age eight.
This summer, Price will
attend Ohio Dreams, a
summer extreme sports
camp; as well as Windell’s
Snowboard Camp in Mt.
Hood, Oregon.
“We just want him to
have every opportunity to
excel in the sport he
loves,” explain his parents Sterling and Monica
Beane. Price’s next competition is at Timberline
Resort on February 28.
The drugs were seized from a Sutton man after State
Police received a tip that he was bringing contraband
to a Gassaway location.
Troopers seize cocaine,
arrest Sutton man
An informant’s tip led
officers of the Sutton Detachment of the West Virginia State Police to setting
up a surveillance operation
recently in the Gassaway
area. Their information indicated that drugs were
being transported into the
area from Huntington.
Trooper C.S. Jackson and
Sgt. J.W. Bonazzo were
watching for the vehicle
when Trooper Jackson
spotted a Jeep Liberty
matching the description
they were looking for.
After stopping the vehicle, the driver gave officers permission to search
the automobile. Troopers
discovered a quantity of
powder and crack cocaine
as well as other drug related items hidden in a
sock in the console.
Officers stated that
the drugs were packaged
for resale and had a street
value of over $2,000.
Jonathan Gibson, 19,
of Herold Route Sutton was
arrested on charges of possession with intent to deliver illegal drugs. He was
initially lodged in the Central Regional Jail prior to be
arraigned before Braxton
County Magistrate Beth
Smith. He was released on
a $50,000 bond.
Officers stated that
the investigation is continuing and at least one
additional arrest is pending.
Sgt. Bonazzo said that
his department had noticed
a changing trend of drugs
coming into Braxton
County by way of larger
near by cities. Anyone who
has information related to
illegal drugs is encouraged
to contact the State Police
at 304-765-5193. All information will be kept confidential.

Libraries, Humane Society’s
requests top Commission agenda
Mary Talbott and Beth
Atkins were the first to address the Braxton County
Commission at their regular meeting on Friday,
January 20. Talbott representing Burnsville and
Atkins of the Sutton Library
presented the body a request to raise their annual
allocation from $3,000 to
$7,000 for the upcoming
fiscal year. They reiterated
their previous explanation
that the state had increased the amount of local matching funds. Both
said that if the additional
money was not obtained,
state funding would be reduced and services would
be cut back at their libraries. Commission president,
Terry Frame stated that the
group would give the request serious consideration
during the upcoming budget process.
Georgetta
Knight
spoke to the Commission
on behalf of the Braxton
County Humane Society.
She explained that her organization had purchased
over 2,000 pounds of dog
and puppy food for the Animal Shelter so far this year.
She added that the BHS
would like to again assist
in purchasing parvo shots
for adult dogs and puppies
in coordination with the
Animal Control Officer.
Knight additionally
explained that her group
would like to apply for a
grant to purchase trees
and/or shrubs to plant on
the upper yard side of the
Shelter as a wind break
and to provide shade. She
stated that they would
work with the WV Division
of Forestry and the WVU
Extension office to get the
appropriate trees and
shrubs that would not interfere with the drainage
system. After hearing the
presentation, David Jack
made a motion to approve
the request.
Mike Chapman made
a motion to approve the
short form settlements, as
provided by the Fiduciary

comment period.
The commission approved a resolution supporting a grant application
for West Virginia Court Security Funds.
David Jack made a
motion to authorize the renewal of the Sheriff’s Department DUI Grant as submitted by Lieut. Ron Clay.
The Commission discussed quotes for termite
protection for county
owned property. Action on
the matter was tabled
pending further review.
During the review of
the bills, questions arose
concerning the Sheriff’s
purchase of letterheads
and invoices from West Virginia Uniform being dated
on consecutive dates. No
explaination was given before David Jack made a
motion to authorize payment of the county and
EMS bills as presented.
(See related editorial comment on Page 2)

Sutton chosen as one of state’s
first ON TRAC communities
The Town of Sutton
has been chosen as one of
thirteen communities to
receive the state’s first-ever
designation as an ON TRAC
Community. Gov. Joe
Manchin made the announcement during a news
conference February 18 at
the Governor’s Mansion.
ON TRAC – an acronym for Organization,
Training, Revitalization and
Capacity – is a new program created by Main
Street West Virginia to help
communities boost economic growth with evaluation, education and networking resources. ON
TRAC is the precursor to
becoming a fully designated Main Street Community; participants must be
an ON TRAC Community
for at least two years before
applying to become a Main
Street Community.
“ON TRAC illustrates
one way the residents of
this state have pulled together to improve the quality of life and business opportunities in their respective
communities,”
Manchin said.
To be eligible for ON
TRAC, a community must
be located within an incorporated area, served by
downtown infrastructure
and resources and have a
sponsoring organization.
Communities selected for
ON TRAC will receive training in downtown and
neighborhood revitalization, an assessment of
strengths and weaknesses,
a technical design visit, action-planning services, access to an online library of
databases and resources,
telephone consultation,
scholarship and grant information, and participa-
tion in the mentoring program from the certified
Main Street Programs.
”This program helps
towns get ‘ON TRAC’ to revitalization by capitalizing
on the history and the resources of the community
itself,” Manchin said.
Main Street West Virginia,
a program of the West Virginia Development Office,
focuses on economic revitalization of historic downtown and neighborhood
commercial districts by
providing technical services, design assistance

A weekly photo of opinion in Braxton County...
sometimes good and sometimes not so good.
Local heros to be
recognized...
By Ed Given
A waste of taxpayer money…
At last Friday’s County Commission meeting two
items were discussed while reviewing the bills presented for payment. One of the Commissioners noted
the fact that several bills presented by the Sheriff
contained invoices dated very close together. There
have been instances in the past where office holders
have tried to use this ploy to circumvent the county’s
purchase order policy. The discussion didn’t go very
far.
The second item is one that I brought up. I
noticed on the list of bills to be paid that the Sheriff
had apparently purchased 500 letterheads from
Nicholas County Printing at a cost of $234.50. I am
not surprised that George went out of county to buy
his printing supplies. It is no secret that we have
political differences and that I didn’t support him in
the election. However, I have always been one that
ends the fight on Election Day as I make every attempt
to get along with whom ever is elected. Obviously,
George doesn’t feel the same.
I looked at the bill to make sure that the description was not an error. I ask Commission president
Terry Frame, why the exorbitant amount for letterheads? She indicated that the fees seemed high and
suggested we get the Sheriff to explain. That was all
that happened in regard to either item. Shortly thereafter a motion was made to pay the bills as presented,
which passed.
When I left the meeting I stopped by the Sheriff’s
office. I asked if I could see a letterhead. The one I was
shown was one this office had designed some years
ago. It was a two color letterhead. Other than that, it
was nothing out of the ordinary. The Sheriff was not in
the office, so I was unable to question him about the
matter.
When I got back to my office I looked up the price
for the same item: 500 would cost $85.50 while a
more economical 1000 count would have been
$127.50.
We are the only true printing company in the
county. Even if George doesn’t like me, he owes it to
the tax payers to spend their money wisely and not
waste it. In addition, we pay taxes in this county.
Nicholas County Printing does not. George Keener nor
any other elected official should be allowed to use
their position to further their political grudge which in
my opinion is exactly what this is. Spending nearly
three times more than necessary is not only unfair to
taxpayers but it’s simply an abuse of power, As I See
It!
Almost as bad… after watching the Commission,
or at least parts of that body, scrutinize the former
Sheriff at every turn, the new Sheriff seems to have
free reign. That’s not good for those of us who pay the
bills.

Monday morning quarterbacking?
Progress to restore losses...
With the news media acting as the
watchdog, seemingly much too late,
they are making President Obama’s
honeymoon short and not sweet. Much
of the Monday morning quarterbacking
from the media consists of half-truths
about the stimulus money to boost the
economy. However, the mayors meeting
in Washington are voicing the need for
infrastructure being replaced, which
would benefit more constituents than
other’s plans. Roads, bridges, schools,
water, sewage, energy efforts and other
things will benefit us now and the

could not envision that in eight years
the administration would leave our
country ten trillion dollars in debt and
the financial world on its knees. But one
can’t stand still to reflect on all the
failures or to relish the fact that the
country finally did see that change must
happen. It is very disgusting that a
nation dedicated to progress and research would suddenly be so curtailed.
Now that there are plans to restore jobs
and make money available to operate up
or near to par, we suddenly begin to see
much criticism before the plans go into
action. One wonders where all these
critics were as we went into this depression. They suddenly seem to have the
answers for our economy, but their
answers are the same ones that got us
into this mess. We American people who
are caught up in instant gratification in
any area need to develop patience to
wait for the change the voters were
asking for. So let us roll up our sleeves,
grit our teeth, live peacefully with all,
and ask the Lord for patience and
guidance toward becoming again the
kind of powerful country that can help
the less fortunate and those in the
midst of disasters at home and abroad.

News from
our Capitol
by Delegate Brent Boggs
First, I want to begin this
column with expressing my sadness in the passing of two Nicholas County volunteer firefighters
– Johnnie Hammons and Timothy Nicholas – who died in the
line of duty last week. Delegate
Sam Argento provided legislators
with the sad news during last
Friday’s session.
Once again, this tragedy reminds us that these dedicated
volunteers risk their life each
time they respond to an emergency call. They place their occupations at risk and the security and welfare of their families
is in the balance every time they
answer a call. Please remember
the families of these fallen
firefighters in your thoughts and
prayers.
Last weekend was very special for both Jean and me. We
celebrated Jean’s birthday in
Huntington by staying overnight
with 3 month old grandchildren
Kenzie and Carson while Justin
and Jennifer had a short weekend in Cincinnati. It was their
first night away from the twins
and I am pleased to report that
kids, parents and grandparents
all enjoyed the time.
House Committees are
working at a good pace and action on the floor of the House
Chamber has also livened up.
The Senate has introduced 321
bills this session while the House
of Delegates has introduced 730
since the first day. The deadline
for introducing bills is still several weeks away so we will continue to introduce and refer bills
to committees so they can be debated and examined.
The first two bills of the session were passed by the House
this past week and have been
communicated to the Senate for
their discussion.
House Bill 2306 would defines the phrase “to impersonate”
as it applies to the crime of impersonating a public official, employee, tribunal or official proceeding without legal authority to
do so. The bill was introduced in
response to incidents where individuals operated motor vehicles
displaying an insignia or emblem
to make the vehicle appear to be
the vehicle of a public official with
the intent of inducing members
of the public to submit to or rely
on the fraudulent authority.
The other bill which passed
the House of Delegates this week
was House Bill 2305. This bill
would revise appointment and
compensation provisions of the
Supreme Court Clerk and his or
her staff. This bill was originally
passed during the previous session but was vetoed by the Governor due to a defective title.
Two other bills will be up
for passage in the House on Monday, February 23rd when we return to the Capitol.
The first, House Bill 2309,
would update the law governing
the practice of occupational
therapy. The second bill, House
Bill 2419 would award an inmate
sentenced to more than six
months at a regional jail one day
of good time credit for the
completion of each rehabilitative
program listed (domestic violence, parenting, substance
abuse, life skills, and anger management), as well as for other
special rehabilitation or educational programs designated by
the Regional Jail Authority’s executive director. These bills are
a result of a year long interim
studies during the 2008-09 interim meetings.
By midweek, the House
should pass House Bill 2504,

New 681 Area Code being
Introduced in West Virginia

Feb. 27, 2009
100 Buffalo Road, Route 4
While Supplies Last - NO RAIN CHECKS
Lots more GREAT
Bargains Inside in our
weekly supplement to the Braxton Citizens’ News!!!
Beginning Feb. 28,
West Virginia telephone
customers must dial 10
digits (Area Code + 7-digit
phone number) when making all local calls. The
change paves the way for
an additional area code
(681) for the state of West
Virginia to accommodate
the growth of telephone
lines and services.
There will be no
change in long distance dialing (1 + Area Code + 7digit telephone number).
The West Virginia Industry Implementation
Committee, a consortium of
landline and wireless telecommunications providers
in cooperation with the
Public Service Commission
of West Virginia, offers the
following information to all
West Virginia telephone
users:
· Deadline. Beginning Feb. 28, 2009, local
calls from West Virginia will
not be completed unless
dialed with the Area Code
+ Telephone number. A recording will instruct you to
hang up and dial again if
you dial with 7 digits.
· Phone numbers
and pricing unchanged.
The new 10-digit dialing
procedure for all local calls
will not change existing
phone numbers, the cost of
a call or the geographic areas specified as local or
long distance for individual
customers. Calls that are in
a consumer’s local calling
area remain local calls. The
only change being implemented is the manner in
which a local call is dialed.
· Dialing 911 unaffected. Consumers can still
dial three digits to reach
911. Likewise, consumers
can still dial three digits to
reach 211, 311, 411, 511,
611, 711 and 811 if the
numbers are available in a
community.
· Reprogram automatic dialers. Automatic
dialing equipment must be
reprogrammed with the
new dialing pattern, including: life safety systems, fax
machines, Internet dial-up
numbers, alarm and security systems, gates, speed
dialers, call forwarding settings, voicemail services
and similar functions.
Phone numbers with
the new 681 area code may
be issued beginning March
28, 2009.
Over the past 10
years, states and telecommunications carriers have
successfully implemented
more than 50 area code
“overlays,” similar to the
681 overlay for West Virginia, throughout the U.S.
to make telephone numbers available to meet
growing demand.

T h e
r o a d s
looked very
snow-covered and
hazardous
this morning so I immediately
decided
not to go to Huttonsville to
Valley Vista Campgrounds
for the dinner. My good
friends, Pastor Harold and
Ruth Wightman, have retired to their home in
French Creek and the Seventh-day Adventists were
having a retirement dinner for them. I hated to
miss it. Then Jerry and
Alma Heckert asked us to
go with them. Jerry drives
big semi trucks so I knew
he could get us there if
anyone could. The roads
from Elkins on were not as
bad. While there, Pastor
John Ott whom I had never
met came to talk to me. He
is holding meetings several times a week in the
Methodist Church in
Brandywine, WV. Their
pastor was willing to accommodate Pastor Ott because when he was pastor
of the Burnsville Methodist Church he and I presented some health talks
in his church. I played the
piano for his services, too.
His name is Mark James.
Isn’t it a small world!
Marilouise McNemar
emailed me and said some
pine trees fell on some of
the tombstones at the K of
P Cemetery in Burnsville
during the high winds we
had recently. That has created a chore for David
Brinkerhoff and other interested folk, I am sure. We
must all be faithful to support those who care for the
cemetery because what we
send is the only “pay” they
get. Your donations are appreciated.
Marilouise also wrote
that Reva Cogar, who had
been at Braxton Health
Care Center when she
died, was buried at the K of
P Cemetery. Someone
mentioned something I
had forgotten about Reva –
her dad used to do wallpapering. That is an unusual
occupation.
I want to thank you
who called to get a vegetarian cookbook. Remember,
they are $9.50 donation
which goes to help our
Brushy Fork Christian
School. Call me at 304472-5102 or call the school
at 304-472-0962 if you
want a cookbook.
Wally Hefner writes
that our talk about trot
lines reminded him of
George Taylor. He wonders
if anyone remembers him.
(I do, for one. I remember
seeing a catfish he had
caught that was so big that
when it put it into one of
those large metal [zinc?]
washtubs, the fish was so
long its nose touched its
tail that was curled around
to fit the round tub.) Wally
said that he and Doyle
Parmer used to use my
dad’s boat. Once when he
was paddling, he picked up
a can to bail out some water that had leaked into the
boat. Doyle looked around
and saw him pouring the
water right on the head on
a big, very big Muskie.
Doyle was upset. Wally told
Doyle the Muskie just
wanted a drink of water.
Wally also said that
back in the 20’s his mother
went to school at Glenville
by boat. The river was so
much deeper then. People
would give George an order
for fish. He would find suckers and tie a line on an overhang of a tree and use trot
lines. He remembers the
cement bridge that he
walked over to go to school,
across Salt Lick. There was
a flat top about 12 by 12 at
each end of the bridge and
many times he would see
catfish heads covering the
top. I suppose George prepared his fish orders on
that bridge.
He also remembers
that Burnsville was a busy
town. When he was in high
school you couldn’t find a
parking place on Main
Street. He says that Sutton
has declined as much or
more than Burnsville and
if they moved the Court
House to Flatwoods, Sutton
would be a ghost town. (I
wonder if Sutton residents
agree with that!)
When he was in the
service, Wally says he saw
Tommy Zinn’s grave. He
spent his second Christmas with a friend in
Aachen. A Dutch family
took care of the grave of
his older brother, who was
killed in Market Garden.
The grave yard is in
Margraten. Tommy Zinn
was a local hero.
Here’s one more Wally
Tale. He writes, “A year or
two ago you wrote about
Outhouses. In my library is
a book I found, ‘Outhouses
of the Ole South,’ on one of
our trips to Pigeon Forge to
see Eddie Myles, who did a
wonderful Elvis impersonation. Barbara says by his
looks and voice he has to
be Elvis’ son. I read that
Priscilla said that Eddie
had the closest voice to
Elvis. Barbara used to
BY PAT RIDPATH
make me go down there at
least twice a year. After his
show Barbara and Eddie
talked about their bad
backs. We always had front
row seats. Charlie Hodge
was there. He met Elvis in
the Army and lived at
Graceland. Elvis would say,
‘The man that gives me my
water and scarves.’ Barbara would tell him a joke
and then Charlie would tell
it again on stage. I once
contacted Eddie Myles and
asked him if he would call
Barbara on her birthday
and sing ‘Happy Birthday.’
He did call her, but said he
wouldn’t sing over the telephone. You talk about one
surprised woman. She
couldn’t believe he would
call. She is amazed at
what I could do. Also at Pigeon Forge I found a book,
‘The Greatest Sports Stories Never Told.’ There was
a story on Danny Heater.
They only had two so I
bought both of them and
gave one to Danny.’”
Sonny (my brother,
Harry) writes, “One of the
original settlers of the
Burnsville area was Ike
Brown, who owned a vast
area along the Little
Kanawha and is the ancestor of many of the Braxton
County citizens today. Like
many from that area, he
fought for the Confederacy
during the Civil War; he lost
an arm in the conflict. My
grandfather, Vernon Wiant,
told me this story. After the
war, those who fought for
both sides would meet at
conventions in their respective uniforms. As Ike
and some friends walked
into the convention hall,
they came to a soldier
dressed in his Yankee uniform with both legs and one
arm gone; he held a tin cup
in his only hand. Ike
stopped, dug into his pocket,
and put 5 dollars into the
cup, a small ‘fortune’ in
those days. ‘Ike, why did you
do that?’ a comrade asked.
Ike replied, ‘That’s the first
***###*** Yankee I ever saw
trimmed up to my notion.’
Fortunately we have forgotten the bitterness of those
days.”
Toni Wine wants to

Trey Chapman of the Braxton Eagles Basketball
team. He made his 1000

Taxi Stand Chili! That will
be a treat, especially if you
have never tasted that
chili! They will also have
baked goods. However,
their goodies will only be
available on Saturday,
March 7. There will be
many treasures available
both days at the other

Happy Birthday to all

Last week in this column I shared some of Bill
Richards’ writings with
you. I received a phone
call from my good friend of
many
years,
Robin
Dennison. The Teets
man that was dying happened to be her mother’s
uncle. Robin’s mother
was
Gloria
Teets
McLaughlin. Robin also
told me a story about her
mom running the Teets
family store, in Bluefield
for awhile. At the time
her mother was running
a special. If a customer
spent $20 (which at the
time was quite a bit) they
would receive a Liberty
Silver Dollar. Robin’s father,
Kenneth
McLaughlin was trying to
court her mother, so he
went in the store very often and spent money for
a chance to see his love,
Gloria. Eventually, he
spent the needed $20 and
received the silver dollar.
Kenneth saved that silver
dollar and a few years before he passed away, he
gave it to Robin with her
promise to never spend it.
I have known Robin for
over 25 years and that
was the first time she
shared that story with
me. I love it and had to
share it with all of you!
The connection to Bill
Richards’ story of course
being that her great uncle
was married to the League
daughter.
Saturday evening, I
had the pleasure of playing Longaberger Basket
Bingo with some of my
wonderful friends at the
Bowling Alley. I had
never played Bingo before
in my life! I was shocked
at all of the people there
and the fact that I knew a
great majority of them!! It
was for a good cause, the
Youth Bowling League.

Heaters CEOS hold first
meeting of New Year
Happy New Year to
you and yours!
The Heaters Chapter of the Community
Outreach Service Club
met in the community
building at 1:30p.m. on
January 13 th .The meeting was called to order at
1:40 by Lucy Stalnaker,
our vice president.
We were pleased to
have our new extension
agent, Amy Cook, with
us for the day.
Sue Rose led all in
the pledge of Allegiance;
all repeated the “Club
Collect” led by Lucy.
This was Lucy’s day,
she then presented the
lesson for January—“Unconditional
Animal
Friends”. Is there anyone
who has not had an “animal friend” or “pet” in
their life? If there is, you
have missed out on “life”.
The animals in our
lives may be divided into
three categories: companion animals – known
as “pets”—a dog, cat,
horse, bird, rabbit, hamster, or guinea pig. Service animals – guide
dogs, signal dogs, any
animal that has been
trained to benefit a disabled person. Therapy
animals – cover a wide
range of “pets”. Any animal that gives comfort to
humans of any age.
If you have a “pet”
that is well controlled
and would greet strangers in a friendly manner
you should contact the
Delts Society through
our Extension Service
Office and make arrangements to visit a
nursing
home
and
brighten someone’s day.
Everyone added to
the lesson with their favorite animal story.
Next on the agenda
was “old business”. First
up – the question of adding new members to our
group. It seems persons
in the community are
too busy to add anything
more to their schedule.
They do not realize
what they are missing –
so much valuable information through our lessons and the exchange of
ideas.
Our new agent presented the new year
books, lessons for the
year and ideas for becoming a more active club.
New business included planning the menu
for the Lion’s Club dinner
on January 20th, and reviewing duties for the February 10th meeting.
Lucy, our hostess
for the day, had us
gather round the refreshment table where
we sang Grace and were
served pumpkin pie with
cool whip, a delicious hot
punch or 7-up and mints.
Those present were
our county agent, Amy
Cook, members Lucy
Stalnaker and Sue Rose
with guest Vella Brown.
We miss those who
have been active for may
years but for a variety of
reasons were unable to
be with us this our first
meeting of 2009: Jesse
Hickman,
Wilsie
Hashman, Mary Nell
Herndon, Virginia Gregory, Clara Mae Eubank
and Helen Westfall.
Best wishes to all.

performance is another comedy, “The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940,” by
John Bishop. The show

revolves around Elsa von
Grossenkneuten and her
attempts to catch the
murderer before the
whole cast goes missing.

Dog Tales: Stories
County Animal Shelter
winter dinner meeting March 11
If winter is getting
you down, maybe you need
to consider bringing a new
friend into your life. Our
shelter has dogs of all ages,
sizes, colors, and breeds—
each with unlimited love to
offer.
Every animal has
a unique story and a special personality. We think
they all have wonderful pet
potential when placed in
the right home.
If you
have thoughtfully considered adopting a pet, please
visit the shelter and see
if your next forever friend
is waiting for you. Our
usual hours are Mon-Fri
12-3, and
Sat. 10-3.
Please call for additional
information at 765-2200 or
log onto petfinder.com and
enter dog search for Sutton

a few of the animals ready
to greet you:

found her tried without
success to locate a local
owner. Jewel is still a bit
shy in this unfamiliar environment. But she is very
gentle and responsive to
the shelter staff. Her estimated age is 2 -3 years.
At less than 20# she is a
wonderful size for an indoor/outdoor pet.
If unclaimed, she will be available for adoption on Feb. 25,
but inquiries are invited at
any time. Please refer to
shelter #02-09-D059
SUSIE: Susie is a 3
month old lab mix that was

brought
to the
shelter
after
being
forcibly
surrendered by her owner. Her
brother, an obvious yellow
lab mix, has already been
adopted. Susie is very shy.
She can be very loving
when given individual care
and attention.
She is
obviously unhappy in this
noisy shelter environment. All she really wants
and needs is a home of her
own. Are you the one
Susie may be looking for?
Her current weight is 15#.

WVU’s Small Farm Conference is for you
Turn your garden or
small farm into a moneysaving, money-making operation by picking up new
ideas at the West Virginia
Small Farm Conference
from Tuesday, Feb. 24,
through Thursday, Feb.
26, at the Ramada Inn in
Morgantown.
The conference addresses energy and food
production issues—the two
most important forces influencing the survival of
small farms, according to
Tom McConnell, WVU Extension specialist and director of the WVU Extension Small Farm Center,
which is sponsoring the
conference.
During the three
days, you can choose from
more than 40 how-to sessions, which include growing summer strawberries
for the fresh market, producing fish in your pond,
participating in the senior
nutrition coupon program,
using a hoophouse to extend your growing season,
raising grass-fed beef,
grafting vegetables for increased marketable yields,
assessing and matching
your local market and applying for value-added producer grants.
If you’ve had questions about alternative energy, Tuesday will begin
with an introduction to renewable and alternative
fuels. The day’s schedule
includes a workshop on
how to make bio-fuels using recycled cooking oils,
powering a truck with
wood, micro-hydroelectric
applications, homemade
wind turbines and farm
uses for solar applications,
and the basics of capturing
geothermal heat. Grant
opportunities that make
adopting these new technologies easier will also be
reviewed as will energy tax
credits.
The sessions’ unifying
theme is taking advantage
of the important economic
role small farms and local
foods have in communities. McConnell said that
West Virginians spend
$6.8 billion on food each
year. Almost half of that
local foods by attending
both the preconference
Winter Blues Farmers
Market and the Local
Foods Banquet. The farmers market runs 4-7 p.m
Monday, Feb. 23. The Local Foods Banquet will be
held Wednesday, Feb. 25,
at 6:30 p.m.
The West Virginia
Farmers Market Association will also hold its annual meeting on the last
day of the conference. After the new Buy Fresh
Buy Local West Virginia
chapter logo is revealed,
members will receive
their own banners.
The registration fee
for 2009 Small Farm Conference is $150 for all
three days of presentations, which includes
lunch and two local foods
breaks each day. The fee
is $60 for a one-day registration, which provides
lunch and two breaks.
The Local Foods Banquet costs $20 and must
be registered for separately.

Childbirth classes
to be held at SJMH
Kathy Long, RN,
CLNC, CLS, will be providing free childbirth classes
at Stonewall Jackson Memorial Hospital in Weston.
The monthly class will be
held on the second Saturday of each month in the
Board Room of the
healthcare facility on
Route 33 West of Weston.
Long noted, “Childbirth is such a special time
in your life. The program
is set up to give you information to prepare the new
mom for labor, delivery,
and care of the newborn.”
The day-long class provides an important overview for the new mom. It
will be held from 9 a.m. to
5 p.m. on those days. Class
dates for the next three
months are February 14,
March 14, and April 11.
Breakfast and lunch will be
provided during each day.
“We will review preterm labor, true labor versus false labor, common
discomfort and treatments
during that time, and information about the third
trimester of pregnancy,”
explained Long. Other topics will focus on several
areas, including: factors
affecting labor, stages of
labor, and timing contractions.
The other topics will
have a general review of

Although the championship game the following
night did not prove an easy
win, the Lady Knights were
up to the challenge and
emerged with a 33-22 victory and the CWVAC crown.
Coach Slaughter noted
that the championship
“was a great game for the
girls.” She continued to
say, “Jamie Conrad was
the spark that ignited our
defense in the fourth quarter. We had tried pressing
them the previous two
times we played and
weren’t very successful.
[This time] I think the girls
understood that we couldn’t
hold back. Our press in
the fourth quarter won this
game.”
The first quarter
ended with Summersville
up 7-4, and the score was
tied at halftime. In the
third quarter, the Knights
went up by one, but the
fourth proved to make the
difference.
While
Braxton’s defense held
Summersville to three
points in the final period,
the offense, led by Taylor
Bragg with 11 points, put
13
points
on
the
scoreboard to cinch the
game.
Bragg was named the
tournament’s Most Valuable Player, and Breanna
Utt and Baylee Stewart
were chosen for the AllTournament
Team.
Hunter Sodaro, Anne
Goliknsky, and Bragg were
selected as All-Conference
Players.
Coach Slaughter
had one final comment
and one thank you to offer. “I’m really proud of
these girls,” she said.
Then she spoke for the
whole conference when
she noted, “We’d like to
thank Sports Connection
for the wonderful hospitality room.”
Eagles drop games to Clay, Ravenswood
Lackluster performances resulted in the
high-school boys varsity losing their two games last
week. On Tuesday night,
the Clay Panthers outscored
the Eagles 54-40 on the Panthers’
home
court.
Ravenswood
trounced
Braxton 57-28 last Saturday
night in the game for third
and fourth place in the Little
Kanawha Conference Night
of Champions.
At Clay, in a low-scoring first half, the Eagles
managed only 13 points and
were down by seven at halftime.
The Panthers extended their lead in the

Nicholas defeates Lady Eagles
in last game of regular season
Nicholas
handed
Braxton’s Lady Eagles a 4833 loss on the Grizzlies’
home court last Wednesday
night. The Eagles ended
the regular season at 183.
In the game Nicholas
took a 27-18 lead going into
halftime and held on for
the win.
Braxton coach Keith
Greene attributed the loss
in part to his team’s 23
turnovers, especially compared to the Grizzlies’
eight.
Another factor
which the Lady Eagles’
coach noted was Nicholas’
control of the offensive
boards. “They scored 18
points off second shots,”

Lady jv finishes even on season
With a 41-27 loss to
Nicholas County’s junior
varsity squad last week, the
Lady Eagles’ jv team ended
the season at 10-10. Looking over the season, coach
Jerry Frame commented, “It
was a great year. We had
some bumps, but we overcame most of the obstacles.”
He added, “I feel the girls really grew during the year. I
was very pleased with the
freshmen. Learning a new
system is not easy, but they
worked very hard.”
Against Nicholas a 4point first quarter put the
Eagles into a deficit which
they could not overcome.
Nicholas also outrebounded
the Eagles 35-24.
Leading scorer for the
Eagles was Allison March
with 9 points. Other scoring included Cortney
Johnson with 2, Lexi
Greenlief 3, Miranda
Conrad 2, Cassidy James 6,
and A. Shaver 5.
third quarter and cinched
the game in the fourth.
Clay’s shooting percentage
was almost 36 percent compared to the Eagles’ 23 percent, and the Panthers
outrebounded the Eagles 3428.
With 18 points, Trey
Chapman was the only
Braxton player who scored in
double figures.
Ravenswood made 61
percent of their field-goal attempts and almost 86 percent of their foul shots in the
win over the Eagles on Saturday night. Another factor
in the game was Braxton’s
19 turnovers compared to 5
for the opponents. Eagles
coach Rick Frame commented that his team
“[could not] handle pressure” and noted, too, that
“most [Braxton] players did
not play hard.”
Kyle Warner, who
made six of seven of his field
goal attempts, led the
Eagles’ scoring with 13
points. Ravenswood held
Braxton’s leading scorer,
Trey Chapman, to four
points.
The Eagles have two
home games this week.
Tonight they take on Lincoln and on Thursday night
they play Nicholas.
Lady seniors honored
on senior night
The Lady Eagles’ three
seniors were recently honored on Senior Night. All
three seniors Jamie
Chapman, Macy Frame,
and Tiffani Huffman have
played basketball together
for four years and won sectional championships in
both 2007 and 2008. For
the past two consecutive
years they have also led
the Lady Eagles to LKC
championships.
The three, according
to coach Keith Greene,
“have been great role models both on and off the court,
and exemplify the qualities
of hard-working, dedicated
athletes.” The coach continued to say, “All three
girls will be greatly missed,
but their positive attitudes,
determination, and pride
will be carried on in the
program.”
Chapman, the daughter of Jan Chapman and
Beverly Legg, has been a
four-year starter for the
Lady Eagles. During that
time, she has served as a
captain for three years.
This young woman also
plays softball, where she
has been a starter for the
past three years. She has
lettered each year in both
sports. A member of the
National Honor Society,
Chapman is currently at
the top of her class academically. Her future
plans include attending
West Virginia University to
work toward a degree in
political science and history. She plans to continue
her education to become a
lawyer.
A three-year starter
and four-year letterman for
the Lady Eagles’ basketball
team, Frame is the daughter of Jerry and Amy
Frame.
Among her
achievements is capturing
an MVP title at the 2008
Hoops’ Classic held at the
Civic Center. In 2007, she
received LKC Honorable
Mention. Frame also plays
volleyball, in which she
was a three-year starter
and captain and for which
she earned second-team
LKC honors last fall. The
year before, she was
named to the LKC Honorable Mention team. She,
too, is at the head of her
class academically and is
also a member of National
Honor Society, Quill and
Scroll, and the yearbook
staff. Her future plans include attending West Virginia University to pursue
a career in pharmacy.
A three-sport athlete
since her freshman year,
Huffman is the daughter of
Tim Huffman and Brenda
Huffman. She has played
volleyball where she was a
three-year starter and
served as captain one year.
All three years she earned
both LKC and All-State honors. She also plays softball,
where she serves as a captain and again has won
both LKC and All-State
honors. In basketball,
Huffman has captured
many LKC honors, including first team last
year, runner-up Player of
the Year in 2008, second
team LKC in 2007, along
with several All-State
honorable mentions.
Huffman is among the
top five girls in Braxton
County High School’s alltime scoring list. She
reached the 1000-point
plateau during her junior
season and is currently
over 1300 points. In addition to involvement in
sports, she is a member of
the yearbook and newspaper staffs. Her future
plans include attending
Glenville State College
where she will play basketball and pursue a degree in journalism. She
hopes to become a sports
writer.
Lady Knights end regular
seaon with win over Glade
A 56-14 win over
Glade last Wednesday finished the Lady Knights’
regular season play.
The Knights scored 30
points in the first half to
take a commanding lead
and went on for the win.
Scoring for Braxton included Hunter Sodaro with
10 points, Taylor Bragg
with 6, Baylee Stewart 4,
Anne Golinsky 8, Breanna
Rhodes 6, Caitlin Rhnodes
8, Jamie Conrad 4, Chelsie
Huffman 6, and Kayla Pritt
4. Sodaro and Caitlin
Rhodes shared rebounding
honors with 7 each, while
Stewart and Gokinsky
each recorded 3 steals.
Coach Lauri Slaughter called the game “a good
team effort,” adding “The
girls came out ready to
play.”
Eagles qualify nine
for State Wrestling
Tournament
Through their efforts
in the A-AA Region II Tournament held at Keyser last
Friday and Saturday, nine
Braxton wrestlers qualified
for the State Wrestling
Tournament which begins
Thursday evening in Huntington. Anthony Crist, the
Eagles’ 152 wrestler, defeated Garreth Crabtree of
Liberty of Harrison in the
championship finals to
earn first place in his
weight class. As a team,
Braxton amassed 199
points to finish second to
Grafton with 204 points.
Berkeley Springs placed
third. Coach Sterling
Beane stated that, two or
three of Braxton’s matches
“could easily have gone either way” and that Braxton
could have finished first
instead of second. The
coach also complimented
his team on their work.
Dalton Duffield, 135,
finished in second place.
John King of Philip Barbour
decisioned Duffield in the
championship match. Also
placing second was Josh
McCumbers
at
189.
Grafton’s
Cameron
Gallaher
pinned
McCumbers in the final
match.
Finishing third to
qualify for state competition were J.C. Hoard, 112;
Cody Grounds, 145; and
Ethan Backus, 160. In consolation finals, Hoard pinned
Jacob Hyre of Lincoln, and
Grounds pinned Zac
Risinger of Berkeley Springs
to place third. Backus
decisioned Bobby Weimer of
Frankfort to place third.
Fourth place finishes—
and a spot in state competition—went to Tyler Cottrill,
125; Brandon White, 130;
and Ryan Swecker, 171.
Although they did not
qualify for the state tournament, other Braxton wrestlers finished in the top six
of their weight class. Fifthplace went to Eric Gentile,
Josh Hoffman, and Tyler
Morlan. Placing sixth was
Luke Whitney.
Coach
Beane emphasized that all
thirteen of Braxton’s
matmen placed in the top six
of their weight classes.

from nationally recognized

Fairmont State University, FSU’s Frank and

in over 40 states, England
and Japan for more than 20
years. His story work has
been commissioned by the
National Youth Storytelling
Hall of Fame, Newsweek
and The Kennedy Center
for the Performing Arts. As
a story teacher, he is considered one of the nation’s
primary advocates for
youth storytelling. Cordi
shares stories with a
highly energetic, animated
and interactive style and is
considered by many
storytelling professionals
as one of the most influential and dynamic storytellers and teachers today.
With each story he tells,
the audience connects
with him—his passion
shines through. His work
is a must-see for adults
and kids alike.

Speaker
Connie Regan-Blake is one

festivals in Chicago, Philadelphia and San Francisco,
as
well
as
the

Braxton County, WV
American Tree Farm System certifies local forestland
Harriet & Bill Cutlip
of Braxton County knows
that productive forestland with clean water,
healthy wildlife habitat
and opportunities for recreation benefits people
and protects the environment. The American
Tree Farm sign on their
property proves it.
As a newly certified
member of the American
Tree Farm System, the
Cutlips,
forest
landowner’s
from
Frametown, WV, have
demonstrated their commitment to practicing
sound forestry by passing a rigorous property
inspection by a professional forester and by
pledging to continue the
practice of sustainable
forestry on their land.
“More than 58 percent of the productive
forests in America are
owned by 9.9 million ordinary citizens - not by
government or big industry,” said Steve Stasny,
landowner assistance
forester with the West
Virginia Division of Forestry and a tree farm inspector. “Tree farmers
like the Cutlips, hold the
key to just what kind of
forests future generations of Americans will
enjoy.”
The American Tree
Farm System is a nationwide community of
nearly 65,000 tree farmers who manage 26 mil-
lion acres of nonindustrial private forestlands
and 81 million acres of
forest in total. Tree
farmers are individuals
and families who share
a desire for excellence in
forest stewardship and a
unique commitment to
protecting watersheds,
wildlife habitat, conserving soil quality and protecting our nation’s forests for future generations. Established in
1941, the American Tree
Farm System is the oldest and largest voluntary
sustainable forest certification program. There
are 665 tree farms in
West Virginia that together
encompass
1,560,590 acres.
Frametown Red Hat
Sunshine Ladies and
Calhoun Glamour Girls have
“Valentine’s Day Hoot”
On Thursday, February 12, the Red Hat
Calhoun Glamour Girls
went
shopping
at
Elkview, and then had
their Valentine luncheon at the Ponderosa.
Upon leaving the Ponderosa, the Glamour Girls
went to visit the Red Hat
group of eleven ladies in
the Laurel Nursing and
Rehabilitation at Big Otter. They were joined by
four of the Frametown
Sunshine Ladies Red Hat
group, who also brought
valentines gifts for everyone. Thanks, gals.
That was very nice and
we were so glad you
came.
A
decorated
Valentine’s Day cake
was served, along with
soft drinks. Everyone received a Valentine craft
and they each decorated
a heart. Our Glamour
Girls then passed out
our gifts to the ladies and
a big, red Valentine
stuffed teddy bear was won
by one of the residents.
She really loved it.
Thanks to Carol
Pritt and Barb McKown
for coordinating the get
together with the activities director and assistant. They did a great
job!
Stasny who provides
landowner assistance to
forest landowners in
Braxton, Clay, Fayette and
Nicholas counties said
the state needs more private forest landowners to
make sound decisions
about managing their for-
ests responsibly. “Today
only five percent of U.S.
forest landowners manage their land according to
a written management
plan,” Stasny said. “More
tree farmers are needed
to lead others in the right
direction.”
