Governor Joe Manchin to
Dedicate Hardy County
Civil War Trails Markers
West Virginia Governor Joe
Manchin will join the Hardy County
Convention and Visitors Bureau at
9:30 a.m. Friday, June 11, at the
Moorefield Presbyterian Church, for
the dedication of the county’s 10 Civil War Trail Markers.
Manchin chose Hardy County for
the dedication site because of the significant number of markers recently
installed. The historic Moorefield
Presbyterian Church features one of
the County’s 10 markers. The dedication event is free and open to the
public.
“The Hardy County CVB has
worked very hard to celebrate our
heritage by bringing these Civil War
Markers to Hardy County,” said Kelly Williams, Hardy County CVB
President. “And we are so pleased
that Governor Manchin has chosen
our county to recognize West Virginia’s participation in this program.”
The program, a partnership between the West Virginia Division of
Tourism and Civil War Trails Inc.,
identifies, interprets and creates driving tours centered on Civil War sites
and stories. Currently, there are over
1,000 sites in five states participating
in the program and close to 4,000

Three Moorefield Middle
School eighth-graders were honored as the Hardy County Golden
Horseshoe recipients for 2010 at
ceremonies hosted by State School
Superintendent Steve Paine at the
Cultural Center in Charleston on
Friday, May 7.
Daryll “Tatie” High, Carlos
“CJ” Dolby Jr. and Jared Beard
passed the rigorous Golden Horseshoe exam. The exam tests student
knowledge on West Virginia citizenship, civics and government,
economics, geography, history and
current events.
“This award is coveted by many
in the state, but received by very
few,” Paine said. “It is an honor
that rewards students’ appreciation
for and understanding of West Virginia and its people.”
The Golden Horseshoe Test has
been administered in West Virginia
each year since 1931 and is the
from the program’s Web site,
www.civilwartrails.org.
Manchin praised this program
and the opportunities it will provide
to promote West Virginia’s historical
Civil War sites.
“The Civil War signage program
is an excellent way to draw more visitors to our state by promoting West
Virginia’s unique role in that conflict,” he said. “I support this initiative and welcome everyone to discover the history behind the birth of
West Virginia as an independent
state.”
The Civil War Trails program was
recognized as one of the most successful and sustainable heritage programs in the country by the National
Trust for Historic Preservation. The
West Virginia Division of Tourism is
paying for the purchase and installation of the first 150 qualifying Civil
War sites in the state, including the 10
markers in Hardy County.

longest running program of its kind
in the United States. The top-scoring students in each county receive
the prestigious award. Past recipients have included authors and
state Supreme Court justices, a
state attorney general and a state
Board of Education president.
The Golden Horseshoe originated in the early 1700s in Virginia
when
then-Gov.
Alexander
Spotswood saw the need for exploration of the land west of the Allegheny Mountains, most of which
is now West Virginia. Spotswood
organized a party of about 50 men
to explore the frontier. At the end
of the exploration, he presented
each member of the party with a
golden horseshoe. Translated from
Latin, the inscription on each
horseshoe read, “Thus it was decided to cross the mountains.” On the
other side was written, “Order of
the Golden Horseshoe.” Because
of this, the recipients became
known as The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.
Current recipients are asked to
kneel and are touched with a
sword, in addition to being presented with the Golden Horseshoe.
“The Golden Horseshoe award
is presented in recognition of students’ crossing the mountains of
learning and knowledge on the way
to becoming good citizens,” said
West Virginia Board of Education
President Priscilla Haden, a past
Golden Horseshoe recipient.
“This is one of the greatest honors
bestowed upon students in our
state.”
Hardy County Commissioners
honored the students with certificates of congratulations at the regular commission meeting on Tuesday, June 2.
“Congratulations to you on this
honor,” said County President
Stanley Moyer. “It is a pleasure to
meet such accomplished students.”

The death of a State Highway
worker in Maryland last week was a
somber reminder that highway workers put their lives on the line just by
going to work. Imagine trying to do
your job with vehicles speeding by
only feet from you.
“For highway workers, the highway is their office,” said Brent Walker, assistant director of the West Virginia Department of Transportation
Office of Communication. “I can’t
imagine working under those condi-
tions.”
“People don’t realize that it’s not
always the worker who is injured,”
Randy Damron, special events coordinator for the DOH said. “Often the
drivers are injured as well. We try to
suggest that people just slow down.”
While many jurisdictions provide
law enforcement to alert motorists
there is a work zone ahead, they do
not enforce speed limits, Walker said.
“Clearly enforcement is an issue,”
he said. “Often law enforcement is
there to let people know they are approaching a work zone. They are not
in enforcement mode.”
“We went to the fluorescent
green uniform and you really can’t
miss them,” said District 5 Supervisor
Lee Thorne.
Work zone safety was one of the
issues discussed at a press conference
held Tuesday, June 1 at the West Virginia Department of Highways District 5 headquarters in Burlington.
The focus of the meeting was to
alert motorists traveling through
Keyser in Mineral County about
work being done on the Keyser-McCoole Memorial Bridge across the
Potomac River.

Editorial
Your Banks
The Washington Post conducted a poll recently and reported that two-thirds of Americans supported the stricter
regulations of bank and financial institutions. This was the
same week Congress was voting on the new bank regs and
followed on the heels of the announcement that Goldman
Sachs had committed fraud.
Those polled also indicated that they favored greater federal oversight of consumer loans and creating a fund (paid
for by the banks) to cover the cost of dismantling failed firms.
We can only hope that Americans realize what this will
mean. The paper work will be stupendous. The increased
costs to banks will grow significantly. Realizing that banks
are in business to make money for their stockholders, this
will in turn cause an increase in fees charged to customers of
the bank.
We aren’t opposed to controlling the horrendous activities
of the large financial houses of Wall Street. We are, however, opposed to the fact that those same regulations will be
imposed on the smaller community banks of the country.
This means banks like Summit and Capon and Pendleton
will be forced to abide by the same stringent regulations requiring mountains of paper work and additional employees.
These local banks did not create the financial crisis of the
past two years, but as a “bank” they are being tarred with the
same brush.
Having been on the board of a community bank for 35
years we can only say it would be wonderful if the folks in the
Capitol City actually knew what they were doing when they
propose such legislation? If the proposed laws would actually help both banks and consumers rather than hurting? If the
new regulations would rein in the folks really responsible?
And if regulators weren’t allowed to manhandle those laws
to justify their own existence.
Why are we mentioning all this? Because we keep hearing comments from friends and neighbors about local banks
being responsible for the mess. Trust us (and we don’t use
that phrase lightly) they were not the cause. Community
banks did, however, get caught in regulatory changes, in
Washington trying to cut losses and not acknowledging that
they - members of Congress - were as responsible as anyone,
and by the greed of the big commercial banking houses.
Your community banks are struggling with increased oversight, rules that seem to change daily, and restrictions which
may or may not help them - or their customers - in the long
run.
We hope you won’t blame your community banks for
problems beyond their control and we encourage you to continue supporting them with your business. These are banks
that in turn support your community through both money
and manpower contributions.
If you have to find someone to blame for your financial
pain, look to Washington and New York.
EXAMINER SAYS
Fly your Flag
June 14 is Flag Day. Americans
are asked fly the American Flag with
pride on that day. We used to receive proclamations from the president about Honor America Days, the
three weeks between June 14 and July 4 when Americans were asked to
fly the flag to honor their country.
We haven’t gotten anything on that
for the last couple of years and wondered if Honor America was no
longer recognized. So we looked it
up and found that Honor America
Days were set by Congress. We think
we should all be flying our symbol as
often as possible. If for no other reason, then just to say we’re proud to be
Americans.

Dear Editor,
I was amused reading the minutes
of the last county commissioners
meeting concerning the misuse of the
credit card by the sheriff’s department. Instead of doing the correct
thing they are going to discuss this issue at the next commissioner’s meeting—what is there to discuss—Commissioner A. J Wade suggested that
the card be cancelled. No need for
any more discussion—take Commissioner A. L. Wade’s suggestion and

California is at it again. They
want to spend over $900,000 (tax
dollars, of course) to pave over a
beach with concrete and boulders to
build a freeway for fish. This is the
latest steelhead trout recovery effort.
Understand, this isn’t new. Since the
1980s, California has spent more
than $16.7 million to save the species
- and, there’s little evidence that any
of it has worked. Remember the fish
ladders? A structure designed to allow fish to migrate upstream over a
barrier. They cost about a million
when first built, but will cost $7.5 million to replace. One ladder is located
in Ventura and would cost $25 million just to replace! Guess what?
There are no hard numbers to show
that the steelhead have rebounded.
One biologist says the fish ladders
don’t work the way the engineers
show they do on paper. And government agencies wonder why the public
is so distrustful when they continue to
throw more of our money at projects
that don’t perform as promised.

MY UNBASED OPINION
Back in 2001 I wrote a really good
column about groundhogs. More
specifically, about my battles with
said rodents through years of farm
living. I just reread that earlier writing, and based upon recent experience, I’ve decided, as legislators say,
to revise and extend my remarks.
That earlier column described all
sorts of methods of varying effectiveness I’ve tried to rid my farm of these
nuisance varmints. I’ve shot them.
I’ve trapped them. I’ve gassed them
with tractor exhaust. I’ve poured
their burrows full of water and
whacked them with shovels when
they came up for air. I’ve set off commercial poison gas bombs in their
dens. I’ve blown up their holes with
gasoline. I could write a text book
about what doesn’t work in ridding
property of groundhogs.
Recent experience mentioned
first paragraph above concerns my
house and garden. Groundhogs live
under my house and are eating my
garden. Some dilemmas are involved
here.
BY
DAVID O.
HEISHMAN
When I have my gun I don’t see
groundhogs out where I can shoot
them. When I see groundhogs out I
don’t have my gun handy. Last time
I tried to trap groundhogs living under my house, I caught a skunk. That
was last year and on damp mornings
that corner of the house still stinks.
Exhaust and commercial poisons
aren’t labeled for in or under home
use and insurance underwriters don’t
appreciate pouring gasoline under
your porch and lighting it. Water
might work, but there’s limited shovel swinging room in a foot of crawl
space.
This year a new commercial product is on the market. Critter Ridder®. Oil of black pepper and other
hot pepper extracts in a handy dandy
shaker can. Supposed to stink and
sting. I bought some. Tried it.
Shook some down their den entrances. Sprinkled some around my
pepper plants. It might have made
their eyes water, but I didn’t hear
them sneeze. Lost another pepper
plant though. Didn’t think to sprinkle areas where nothing was growing
yet, thus first instant squash sprouts
appeared, two leaves became no
leaves.
Now something new. Groundhog
fence. My invention. Maybe it’s
been tried before, didn’t work and
nobody included it in their latest million volume set of books listing farm
things tried that didn’t work.
Since past Saturday my garden is
surrounded by a two wire two inch
high, two inch wide fence. Strips of
pressure treated sixteen foot fence
boards with pairs of insulators nailed
every four feet and light electric
fence wire strung through them
should do the trick. I made up all the
sections at my shop, carried them to
the garden, wired them together,
grounded one wire and attached a
brand new two mile fence charger to
the other.
Theory is that most varmints
crawl carefully over obstacles. I want
to be there when ole groundhog’s
tummy first touches both those wires
as he crawls across. Rabbits might be
hoppity fast, but they’ll have to clear
my fence in one high hop to avoid the
thrill of their life.
I can even picture a deer pausing
to perform a nose examination of
that contraption at its feet. Hope I’m
handy to see what happens when that
small yellow spark jumps from hot
wire to moist nose.
I’ll know by next weekend if this,
my latest salvo fired in ongoing
varmint wars is successful. If squash
and pumpkin plants are flourishing
and lettuce and kale are growing by
then I’ll declare at least temporary
success. If my garden is in shambles,
I’ll wish I hadn’t nailed those insulators down quite so tight when I begin
dismantling.

BYRD’S EYE VIEW
Our Hearts Beat True For The Red, White, And Blue
June 14 is Flag Day, the day that
Americans celebrate and show respect for our great national emblem,
the American flag. This is not a federal holiday, but, in my opinion, it is
one of the most important days of the
year. This is a day filled with much
history and meaning.
It was on June 14, 1777, that the
Continental Congress adopted the
Flag Act that established the official
flag of the United States. The thirteen colonies assembled in the Continental Congress took this action because they understood the need for a
symbol of national unity.
Early in the American Revolution, the colonial armies were fighting under the banners of their individual colonies, or of their local militia units. The banner of New England, for example, was the Liberty

Tree, which showed a pine tree on a
field of white, with the words, “An
Appeal to Heaven.” The Minutemen
from Culpepper County, Virginia,
waved a flag with a coiled rattlesnake
which carried the motto, “Liberty or
Death.”
This diversity of flags seemed to
reflect a lack of unity among the
colonies. Feeling the need to establish a symbol of national unity, the
Congress resolved:
“That the flag of the thirteen
United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white in a blue field,
representing a new constellation.”
I have always been impressed
with the wisdom of the founders of
our country, and here again we can
see their brilliance and foresight.
The simplicity of that pattern, alternating stripes and crisp white stars on
a field of blue, allowed our flag to
evolve along with the ever-changing
map of the United States.
And the flag they chose has become the most visible symbol of our
Nation, and our most beloved national icon.
It symbolizes our
strength, honor, ideals, and national
purpose. It recognizes our glorious
past, while it celebrates a more glorious future.
The flag symbolizes our values
and ideals, as well as our power, our
economic and military might. The
flag rallies our courage as it inspires
deeds of valor and sacrifice. When
we think of the American flag, we
think of the Marines heroically planting it on top of Iwo Jima during
World War II, American astronauts
planting it on the moon, and those
valiant New York City firefighters
hoisting the American flag in the rubble of the World Trade Towers on
September 11, 2001.
Above everything else though,
our flag is representative of our national unity – “one nation, under
God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

AAA Fuel Gauge reported an additional 6.6 cents drop last week in
the price of gas in West Virginia. The
average price of a gallon of gas in the
state was $2.703 while nationally it
was $2.727. Disappointing economic news out of China pushed oil
prices lower while rising US construction spending pushed in the other direction. The six month moratorium on offshore drilling by the Obama administration will have a minimal impact on oil prices in the near
future because of existing supplies of
oil and tepid increases in demand.
Across the state gas prices ranged
from a high of $2.797 in Martinsburg
to a low of $2.662 in Wheeling. In
Hardy County prices last week were
$2.79 at Baker, $2.75 at Mathias and
Wardensville, and $2.73 at Moorefield.

E. A. Hawse Recognized
Chamber Corner
For No Lost-Time Injuries
E. A. Hawse Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was recognized by
the West Virginia Health Care Association for having No Lost Time Injuries for the 2009 calendar year at
the WVHCA annual convention.
The convention was in early May
as long-term care professionals gathered for continuing education in the
field and recognition for 2009’s accomplishments.
“We focus on employee safety as
much as the quality of nursing care,”
Alan McDermott, Executive Director, said. “We believe, and studies
have shown that a safe and happy
staff provide a high quality of care for
our patients and their families.”
The recognition from the WVHCA is just one more for the long-term
care center. For the past six years, E.
A. Hawse has been recognized from
its parent company AMFM for having No Lost Time Injuries within the
company. The facility’s six-year
streak is the longest in company history.
Additionally, E. A. Hawse is also
only one of 10 nursing facilities to receive a 5-Star Rating from the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services’ Nursing Home Compare Program. It is the highest possible rating
a skilled nursing facility can receive.
My InnerView ranks E. A. Hawse
in the top 10 percent in the nation for
work place satisfaction according to a
recent survey conducted an independent research organization specializing in the services of long-term
care facilities.
E. A. Hawse Nursing & Rehabilitation Center is a 60-bed facility that
provides long-term care, skilled nursing and rehabilitative services. For
more than 20 years they have been
serving the Baker community and
their mission is “To exemplify excellence in quality care to our customers
by providing an environment that enhances personal growth, individuality, dignity and respect.”
Pilgrim’s Pride Reports First Quarter Loss
Pilgrim’s Pride Corporation reported a net loss of $45.5 million, or
$0.21 per diluted share, on net sales
of $1.6 billion for the first quarter
ended March 28, 2010. These results
include nonrecurring administrative
restructuring charges and reorganization expenses of $56.5 million pretax, or $32.7 million after tax, or
$0.16 per diluted share.
For the comparable quarter a
year earlier, the company reported a
net loss of $58.8 million, or $0.79 per
share, on total sales of nearly $1.7 billion. Adjusted EBITDA, which excludes restructuring and reorganization charges, was a positive $59.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal
2010.
“While I am encouraged by the
progress we have made in several areas of our business, our overall performance in the first quarter of fiscal
2010 was below our expectations,”
said Don Jackson, Pilgrim’s Pride
president and chief executive.
The company said several factors
contributed to the loss for the quarter, including: restructuring and reorganization costs; a delay in the addi-
tion of new further-processed volume which forced the company to
sell commodity meat at lower prices;
a loss of approximately $11 million
related to grain hedges, of which $6
million was mark-to-market on open
positions; and lower-than-anticipated
market prices for dark meat. Mr.
Jackson said the further-processed
volume should be onboard before
the end of June.
“Our single largest opportunity to
create value is through improved
product mix both in retail and foodservice,” he explained. “At the same
time, we must continue to focus on
operating more efficiently. We are
making good progress in all of these
areas, and I am confident that our financial results in the second quarter
will show significant improvement.
Based on preliminary results, we
were profitable for the month of
April.”
Mr. Jackson said he is optimistic
about industry fundamentals heading
into the summer. “Although production is slightly higher than a year ago,
supplies remain fairly tight. Feed
costs appear to have stabilized and
there are growing signs that the economy is improving. With many retailers and foodservice operators planning to feature chicken in the months
ahead, demand is strengthening,” he
said.
Consistent with its strategy of
matching production to forecasted
demand, Pilgrim’s Pride announced
plans to re-open its chicken processing plant in Douglas, Ga., by January
2011. The company also plans to reopen two other idled facilities, one by
mid-2011 and the other by spring
2012. The re-opening of these three
plants will result in a production increase of 10 percent, or approximately 3.5 million birds per week.
“Pilgrim’s Pride and the industry
have taken out significant production
capacity over the past two years. We
fully believe that with the strengthening economy and improving fundamentals, consumer demand for
chicken is increasing. By re-opening
these facilities, Pilgrim’s Pride will be
uniquely positioned to fulfill our customers’ needs,” said Mr. Jackson.

Highlands Bankshares, Inc.
Announces First Quarter Results
Highlands Bankshares, Inc. has
announced its results of operations
for the first quarter of 2010.Highlands Bankshares’ operations for the
first quarter of 2010 produced net income of $161,000, or $0.12 per share
of common stock outstanding (EPS).
This compares to income of $963,000
and EPS of $0.72 for the first quarter
of 2009.
Return on Average Assets
(ROAA) for the quarter was 0.16
percent and Return on Average Equity (ROAE) was 1.57 percent. This
compares to a ROAA of 1.00 percent
and a ROAE of 9.69 percent for the
same quarter a year ago.
Assets increased 0.65 percent
from December 31, 2009 to March
31, 2010 and, at the end of the quarter, totaled $410,470,000. Shareholders’ Equity at March 31, 2010 was
$41,181,000.
During the quarter, Highlands
paid dividends to its shareholders of
$0.27 per share.
Highlands Bankshares Inc. operates eleven banking locations in West
Virginia and Virginia through its two
wholly-owned subsidiary banks, The
Grant County Bank and Capon Valley Bank, and offers insurance services through its wholly-owned subsidiary HBI Life Insurance Company.
Hardy County’s main streets
have recently undergone some drastic changes.
“For sale” signs dot US 220
through Moorefield, as a number of
businesses have either closed their
doors or relocated. In Wardensville,
the storied White Star has been reinvented as the Star Mercantile luncheonette and Hardy Telecommunications has opened a main street location.
Closings, however, are what stick
in people’s minds. Theories abound
on the reasons behind darkened
windows, but if you’re in the business of business long enough, you
learn one thing: the economics of
any establishment are not always
what they seem, so blanket statements about success and failure
rarely apply.
If you ask the HCCC, Hardy
County welcomes and supports its
businesses. Proof exists in some of
the Chamber members marking anniversaries this year:
O’Neills begins its celebration of
its five-mark this week, with a backyard BBQ from 5-10 p.m. Thursday.
You can show your support for Mike
and Jammie O’Neill that day, but
you can also show your support for
breakfast, lunch or dinner any other
day of the week, and you will almost
always find one of them there to
greet you.
Highland Trace Realty turns 25
this year. John and Charlotte Bowman have invested many, many
hours at their location in Wardensville, and as their business has
become more successful, they
branched out into the community,
serving on Town Council and the
County Planning Commission. They
know good business needs good policy!
Shultz Realty has been open for
five years in 2010. From their front
porch in Moorefield you can find out
news about real estate, but you can
also support the local animal shelter
and even find children hunting eggs
around Easter. After all, kids and
pets make a house a home, and
Shultz Realty clearly knows it.
American Woodmark Corp. has
had a plant in Hardy County for 30
years this year. Their products are
exported from our neck of the
woods all around the country, and
our families, and families from the
surrounding area, have built futures
with the help of this premier employer.
Finally, at almost one year old,
Tractor Supply Company is reporting a very warm welcome. Manager
Ritchie Debar is busy and happy.
Hardy County is demonstrating its
buying power and that is good news
for our ability to attract and retain
new business.
After all, it is each of you reading this column that plays a major
role in which businesses succeed or
fail. It’s also true that our successful
businesses know that local customers - and how those customers
are treated - ultimately determines
their future.
Much of the secret to business
success in a small town economy is
making locals feel welcome and
well-served. And we, as customers,
need to spend our dollars here to
keep our local businesses running.
So let’s keep working together
to help our Hardy County businesses thrive, and, since success breeds
success, our storefronts will soon
enough fill up again.

Planners Look for More Input
on Comprehensive Plan
By Bob Alcock
Special to Moorefield Examiner
Hardy County planning commissioners decided at their June 1 meeting to reach out for more comments
on a draft county comprehensive
plan and also set in motion a process
for hiring a new county planner.
“I have a feeling we don’t have
enough input,” remarked Planning
Commissioner Lee Lehman after the
group reviewed the few comments
received from five workshops held
throughout the county during May.
Eleven residents attended the workshops.
Planning commissioners asked
Assistant Planner David Shields to
draft letters asking for additional
comments from the Hardy County
Rural Development Authority, Public Service District, County Commis-
sioners, Chamber of Commerce,
Convention and Visitors Bureau,
Eastern West Virginia Community
and Technical College, contractors,
home builders, and other relevant
groups.
In a separate telephone interview,
Planning Commission consultant
Patrick Ford said he will recommend
planning commissioners add an implementation chapter to the draft
comprehensive plan that will assign
priorities to the recommendations already in the plan and identify short
term, long term or continuous activities that must be undertaken to implement the priority recommendations.
“It could take a couple of months
to prioritize the recommendations,”
said Ford. “We are probably looking
at Fall public hearings on a revised
draft plan, at the earliest.”
Advertisements to fill the vacant
County Planner position will appear
in local newspapers and on the Web
mid to late June, according to a
schedule agreed to by county planning commissioners. Applications
are to be returned by early July and
interviews will held late July.
A team of interviewers, including
County Commissioners and Planning
Commissioners, will conduct the interviews. State law authorizes a
county planning commission to hire
employees necessary to carry out
planning duties and responsibilities,
with the consent of the County Commission. However, the County Commission sets the salary of the County
Planner.
The previous County Planner,
Tom Widder, resigned effective April
20 to take a position in private industry.

A new bridge is being built adjacent to the existing bridge. The existing bridge will remain open while the
new one is under construction. The
project began this year and is scheduled for completion in September
2012. “This project has been on the
books for a number of years,”
Thorne said.
The existing bridge will be
repaved by the end of June, according to J.P. Burns, area construction
engineer. All of the work will be done
at night.
In the meantime, contractors will
be demolishing several structures in
the path of the new bridge, including
a sewage treatment plant and a fire
station.
“The new bridge will be within
five feet of the old bridge,” Burns
said. “When the new bridge opens,
trucks will not be permitted on it until part of the old span is removed because there’s not enough room for
them to go under it. The contractor
has 10 days to remove the first section of the old span.”
There will be some changes in
traffic patterns and detours from the
Maryland side.
“There will be some one-lane
roads in phases,” Burns said. “We’ll
be doing all of the work at night,
from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m.”
been allocated an additional $1 million for road repair because of the
damage done by the winter storms.
Al McCilvray, news director with
WRNR Talk Radio said he had received calls during the storms that
the Maryland and Virginia sections
of Interstate 81 were clear, “but the
23-mile section in West Virginia/Berkley County was an ice
cube.”
“We had 17 pieces of equipment
in Berkley County and Washington
County (Md.) had 100,” Thorne said.
“We just couldn’t keep up.”
Walker said the rumors were that
West Virginia didn’t pretreat the section, which wasn’t true. “We pretreated, but we weren’t able to keep up,”
he said.
The department is always in a
maintenance and repair mode, Walker said. As much as 70 percent of the
budget goes to patching, mowing and
ditch maintenance.
Projects scheduled for District 5
also include drainage improvements,

the three-mile stretch between Patterson Creek Road and Knobley
Road has been recently awarded.
The 10-mile stretch from Moorefield
to Knobley Road is scheduled to
Maintenance
open in October.
In addition to the $23.3 million
“We may have to divert trucks off
maintenance budget, District 5 has at Patterson Creek Road,” he said.
“Knobley Road is not a good road for
big trucks.”
The decision to do that will come
closer to the opening, he said.
The 5.8-mile section between
Knobley Road to Route 93 in Scherr
is currently under construction. It includes a 700-foot long bridge over
Route 93.
“We will continue to work on
Corridor H as funds become available,” Walker said.
Bridges
District 5 has 500 bridges, according to Gary Klavuhn, district bridge
engineer.
“We are constantly having to
strike a balance with the Corridor H
and I-81 bridges and the smaller
ones,” he said. “We still have bridges
that were built before the automobile.”
Bridges are replaced as necessity
warrants and funding allows. “Our
bridge programs are certainly underfunded,” Walker said.
“We just want the public to know
we’re doing the best we can with the
resources we have.
Walker said the Department of
Highways gets no funding from the
legislature.
“One thing the public can do to
help is to buy gas in West Virginia,”
he said. “Gas taxes pay for road
maintenance and repair. We don’t
get a dime from the legislature.”

asked the case be dismissed because
of the length of time that has passed.
“My client was originally charged
in 2008 and bound over for Grand
Jury in 2008,” Garrett said. “Four
terms have passed and there is the
three-term law.”
According to the Rules of Appellate Procedure, a case which has been
set for argument and has remained
on the argument calendar for three
successive terms may, at the end of
said third term, be considered as
abandoned and be dismissed at the
cost of the appellant.
Hardy County Prosecutor Lucas
See argued the crimes had no statute
of limitations.
Cookman said he would consider
the motion to dismiss at the first pretrial hearing on June 28.
Robert A. Hinkle, 32, of Fisher,
was charged with two counts of burglary, one count of breaking and entering and one count of grand larceny.
Court documents show on Feb.
12, 2010, the victim left her home in
Moorefield to care for a sick relative.
On Feb. 21, the victim asked a friend
to check on her house. The friend
found the home had been burglarized. The sliding glass door had been
shattered and the house ransacked.
A lock on an out building on the
property was also broken and property taken from it.
According to the victim a special
edition Harley Davidson 3-speed bicycle, four camcorders, three digital
cameras, an MP3 player, video
games, a DVD player, a computer,
jewelry valued at more than $20,000,
watches, collectible knives, antique
glassware and an air compressor
were stolen.
Court documents also show the
defendant allegedly pawned some of
the jewelry and had some of the
items in his possession at the time of
his arrest.
Mark B. Enke II, 39, of Wardensville, was charged with one count
of sexual assault in the first degree
and one count of sexual abuse by a
person of trust.
Court records show that on Feb.
4, 2010, a woman brought her granddaughter, age 5, to the Moorefield/Petersburg Detachment of the
West Virginia State Police. The
woman reported the child had been
sexually assaulted by the defendant
while her mother was at work and she
was in the defendant’s care. The incidents happened in August 2009.
Michael W. Keplinger, 39, of
Moorefield was indicted on two
counts of sexual abuse in the first degree.
According to court documents, a
Child Protective Service Agent with
the West Virginia Department of
Health and Human Resources reported a suspected case of child
abuse to the Moorefield/Petersburg
Detachment of the West Virginia
State Police.
When police interviewed the victim, age 10, she said the defendant
touched her inappropriately.
The defendant told police the incident happened “accidentally” during “tickling.”
Melanie Brady, 22, of Purgitsville
was indicted on six counts of forgery
and four counts of uttering a forged
document.
Court records show Brady wrote
checks between May and September
2009 to various retail establishments
in Moorefield and Old Fields.
Stephanie Knight, 23, and
Charles D. Smith Jr., 32, both of
Moorefield were each charged with
two counts of breaking and entering,
one count of petit larceny, one count
of grand larceny and one count of
conspiracy.
According to court documents,
the pair allegedly broke into a building on Main Street in Moorefield on
Sept. 4, 2009.
In an interview, Knight allegedly
told police, they wanted to steal a fan
because theirs was broken. Once inside the building, they discovered two
small coolers of pennies, some collectible cars and some copper plumbing fittings, all of which they allegedly took.
The pair allegedly took the pennies to WalMart and received approximately $141. They took the copper fittings to a salvage yard and received $265.
Court records show on the next
night, the pair returned to the building and allegedly stole an air compressor, a generator, a heavy duty engine hoist and a floor jack.
Judge Cookman will conduct the
first pretrial hearing on June 28. The
final pretrial hearing will be held on
July 27. Any jury trials will be scheduled for the week of Aug. 23. Defendants are presumed innocent until
proven guilty.

Commission Continues .........
Continued from page 1
“It opens the door for other departments and the Sheriff will be gone in
two years.”
Sheriff Ferrell was elected in
2008. His term expires in 2012 and by
law, he cannot be reelected.
The commission took no action.
Health Insurance
David Barton from the Shenandoah Valley Group paid a follow-up
call on the commission.
Barton presented an option to the
county’s participation in Public Employees Insurance Agency for their
health insurance.
Currently, every county and
agency in the state whose employees
participate in PEIA is carrying an unfunded liability for Other Post Employment Benefits, basically health
care for retirees. Hardy County’s
contribution to OPEB is estimated at
$37,000 per month. Barton says he
can reduce that liability to $74,000
per year.
The county’s unfunded liability
for OPEB is currently $448,000.
But the county has to leave PEIA
and sign on with another insurance
company. “Our major concern is the
service to our employees,” Keplinger
said.
“I guarantee your service will be
greatly improved,” Barton said. “It
will be up to the County Commission
as to how the plan is structured. You
will make the decisions and then
schedule employee meetings.”
Moyer said he would prefer if employees knew about the proposed
plan in advance.
“We did that in Hampshire County and the employees said they didn’t
want to change,” Barton said. “Since
you’re paying 100 percent of the
OPEB, why would they change. People don’t like change.”
Currently, the county pays all of
the health insurance premiums for
the employees and their dependents.
“The cost of the premiums concerns me,” Keplinger said. “It’s set
for one year, but it may go up.”
Moyer insisted Barton come up
with a plan similar in benefits to the
PEIA plan to present to county employees. The commissioners decided
to close the courthouse on Friday,
June 18 at 1 p.m. for an employee
meeting.
Regional Sewer Agreement
The commissioners took no action on the Regional Wastewater Authority Agreement.
An agreement between the town
of Moorefield, the county and Pilgrim’s Pride must be submitted to the
West Virginia Public Service Commission. The three entities have
agreed to form a wastewater treatment authority to process sewage
from their respective facilities. Legislation was passed at the state level to
permit the two public agencies to enter into an agreement with a private
corporation.
The commissioners took issue
with a paragraph that was recently
added to the agreement at the request of the town of Moorefield. The
paragraph states:
“It is the intent of the parties that
the Authority shall contract with the
town for the operation and maintenance of the authority facilities. To
that end, the authority and the board
shall enter into a contract to be submitted to the Public Service Commission of West Virginia for its approval
at the time of application for a certificate of convenience and need.”
“This is not something we should
decide,” Moyer said. “This is something the authority board should decide.”
The commissioners came under
fire last year when some residents
thought they had “approved” the
race, when in fact they simply “supported” the event.
“Have you thought about a larger
race, a big loop instead of going
around a small loop several times?”
asked Wade, an avid cyclist. He described a loop that would encompass
Lost River, Mathias, Moorefield and
Wardensville.
“That would be very exciting,”
Moglia said. “That is our ultimate
goal. Riders could pass through each
town, we could time it out so you’d
know when they’re coming. We
would need a lot more manpower,
but that’s what the riders prefer. It’s
something to look forward to.”
The Lost River Classic begins at
the Mathias Community Center,
goes up Howard’s Lick Road to Dispanet Road, to Route 259, to Crab
Run Road, to Jenkins Hollow Road,
to Howard’s Lick and back to Dispanet. Participants ride the 10-mile
loop several times, depending on the
class of racer.
While there are pace vehicles,
roads are never closed to traffic and
racers usually maintain speed of 30
miles-per-hour or more.
“Our priorities are safety, not disrupting the community and raising
money, in that order,” Moglia said.
911 Center/OEM
Paul Lewis, executive director of
the Hardy County Office of Emergency Management and the 911 Center brought the commissioners an update.
The tower room at Wardensville
needs to be insulated because of the
heat of the sun. Also work at the
Helmick Rock tower had to stop because of high winds. Workers will be
returning to finish that work.
Lewis had a problem with the new
owners of the 911 tower.
“SBA sent a crew to do some
work and when they cleaned up the
site they took all my sign posts and
other supplies I had in the fenced
area and threw them away,” he said.
“I have called the company and informed them they do not own the
site, just the tower. It doesn’t appear
they are going to reimburse us for the
material they took.”
Lewis said his only recourse was
to bring theft charges against the
company. “There was several hundred dollars worth of items that were
stored in that fenced area,” he said.
Lewis said he was aware of the
problem the process server had with
finding addresses. The addresses
have been verified and the process
server should be told how the addresses run.
“I have also checked state code
and there is nothing to enforce people to put numbers up,” he said. “The
county commission could pass an ordinance with a penalty, but I’m not
sure who would enforce it.”
Call volume is going up, Lewis
said. There were 658 calls in May
compared to 623 in April. Of that,
434 were law enforcement, 179 were
EMS and 45 were fire calls.
Lewis said because both municipalities were short officers, it was difficult to dispatch calls. “The dispatchers are looking forward to having officers to handle calls,” he said.
Lewis said he has been working
with FEMA to get reimbursement
for the cost of the February snow
storm. “You have to pick a 48-hour
period to be reimbursed and you
have to have at least $1,000 in damages,” he said.
Each agency has to submit an application under those guidelines, he
said. FEMA will be assigning a case
worker for Hardy County.
Lost River Classic Bicycle
Race
Other Business
Jay Moglia and Audrey Taucher
came before the commission to advise about the status of the Lost River Classic 2010 Bicycle Race. The
race is currently scheduled for July
24.
“We have received permission
from the Mathias Civic Center to use
their grounds for the staging area
again this year,” Moglia said. “Also,
like last year, this race will serve as a
fundraiser for the Mathias Community. Proceeds from this year’s event
will be distributed to the Mathias
Volunteer Fire House, the MathiasBaker Fire and Rescue and the
Mathias Civic Center.”
Moglia recounted the Lost River
Classic 2009 Bicycle Race, which
drew more than 200 participants.
Many of them, their families and
friends spent the weekend in Hardy
County.
“The race raised $1,750 for the
Mathias-Baker Fire and Rescue
squad,” Moglia said. “In addition to
the money raised for fire and rescue,
race participants and spectators
brought additional commerce to the
area merchants, hotels, the state park
and food establishments.”
When Moglia thanked the commission for their previous support,
Moyer said, “We have no authority to
allow you to do this.”
•The payroll register for May 15
through May 30 was $52,043.99.

Max Nogay was relieved by Logan Linder on the mound.
A walk to Kollin Foltz was followed by a sacrifice fly by Tyler Mongold which sent one run home.
East Hardy fireworks illuminated
the sky in the sixth inning as the
Cougars pounced for three additional runs.
Skovron created a threat by
reaching first base on an error.
Korey Foltz hit a single which was
immediately followed by Miller’s
bunt single to load the bases.
Skovron dashed quickly to home

Skovron quickly turned the base
and tried to reach second, but was

the championship game would be
theirs.
Things got very interesting as the

East Hardy slashed the Blue
Dons for a 7-2 advantage entering
the seventh inning, but Madonna
stuck around like gum on the bottom
of a shoe and wouldn’t let the
Cougars escape, winning 10-9 in
eight innings during the WV Class A
State semifinals.
“Wow,” East Hardy skipper Raymond Snapp remarked. “What a
heartbreaker.”
Appalachian Power Park was the
sight of miracles and blessings.
East Hardy senior Kolby Foltz,
the 2010 Valedictorian, was presented his diploma by Principal Brad
Simmons at home plate prior to the
game.
Foltz was flanked by his teammates with many congratulations as
he went between them to receive his
diploma.
Kolby Foltz joined his two brothers, Kollin and Korey on the field together for the last time against
Madonna.
This was the first time that three
brothers started on the same team in
WV State Baseball Tournament history.
A unique addition to this historic
sibling game was twin brothers Max
and Eddie Nogay of Madonna.
These brothers all shared a special moment in history together, witnessing rallies of unseen proportion
in latter innings.
Madonna entered the state semifinal game as the top-ranked team in
the state and the Cougars were
ranked third.
The Blue Dons made a monumental rally in the seventh inning,
scoring five runs to send the game into extra innings, then survived a tworun dinger by East Hardy’s Tyler Kerr
when Lou Comis hit a walk-off home
run for the victory.
Down 7-2 in the seventh, what advice do you give your players?

“Nobody makes the last out. It
sounds ridiculous, even petty. The
key is having a good swing, a good
approach at the plate, and waiting to
see what happens,” Madonna Coach
Jeff Baire answered.
The excitement for the Hardy
County contingent started in the first
inning after a RBI single by Madonna’s Max Nogay.
Kollin Foltz connected to Korey
Foltz who turned a double play with
Tyler Kerr scooping up the gem.
Kollin Foltz was issued a walk in
the second inning, then two sacrifice
hits moved him to third base.
Shawn Skovron ripped a shot past
a diving Eddie Nogay for a RBI single.
East Hardy ace Jamie Miller
fanned three batters and allowed only one hit in the bottom of the inning.
In the fourth frame, East Hardy’s

Madonna pitcher Max Nogay.
Skovron notched a two-run producing walk-off RBI single for a 3-1
advantage.

THE OLD MASTER
The athletic season will finally
wrap up for WVU this weekend, with
the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field
Championships. The Mountaineers
will send five competitors to the
championships. Katelyn Williams will
compete in the high jump, and is
West Virginia’s only field competitor.
Clara Grandt will run the 10,000 meter race, Marie-Louise Asselin goes
in the 5,000 meter run, and Keri
Bland and Karly Hamric will both
race in the 1,500 meter run. It is interesting to note that three of the five
are from the state: Bland, Hamric,
and Grant.
Good luck to all of the competitors. Races can be fickle, and a fast
pace or slow pace could mean success
or not. Still, it is very possible for
WVU to finish up with more than
one All-American.
Back on the conference expansion front, it was a busy week. Most
of the news involved the Big 12,
which held one of its annual meetings. During those meetings, several
reports/rumors came out. First, the
AP reported that Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee had apparently
spoken to the Texas president about
potential Big 10 membership. In a
published email, Gee mentioned to
the Big Ten Commissioner about a
“Tech problem” – which was interpreted by many to mean that the
Texas legislature would not allow
Texas and Texas A&M to bolt to the
Big 10 without bringing along Texas
Tech.
Then the fun really started. A
Texas-related website reported that
the Pac 10 was going to invite Texas,
Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma,
Oklahoma State, and Colorado,
which would expand the league to 16
teams, and quite possibly see the end
of the Big 12 (especially given that
Missouri and Nebraska have been rumored to be on the Big 10’s expansion radar). Later in the week, it was
reported by ESPN that the Texas legislature would insist that Baylor be
included in the Pac 10 expansion,
most likely replacing Colorado. Also,
another report said that Missouri and
Nebraska had been issued an ultimatum to answer whether or not they
would stay in the Big 12.
The upshot of this news is that the
Big 12 may be on very shaky ground.
This could impact WVU in a positive
way, because that means that the
SEC would not be able to expand towards the west. That would mean
their focus would be on ACC teams,
and potentially Louisville and WVU.
With the Big Ten’s possible expansion, there has been precious little mention of West Virginia. Even
though WVU has some similarities
with most of the Big Ten schools (a
public, land-grant institution located
in a “college town”), it does not have
the main thing that the Big Ten
wants: eyeballs for the TV sets. West
Virginia does not have enough people, in the eyes of the Big Ten bean
counters. Also, it is not a member of
the American Association of Universities (all eleven Big Ten members
are AAU members, too). To some,
that is very important, but it isn’t a
deal breaker. Notre Dame and Connecticut are not members of the
AAU, but both have been mentioned
as possible expansion candidates.
There are several things that
WVU does have going for it as an expansion candidate. For one, they
have a pretty solid athletic program
(remember, athletics–and related
dollars– are the reasons for the con-

FISHER
ference expansions). The most recent
Director’s Cup standings, dated June
1, shows WVU at #25. To give you an
idea of how that ranks, here are
teams #21-30: Michigan, Georgia,
Kentucky, LSU, WVU, Auburn, Alabama, Washington, Michigan State,
and Oregon.
The Mountaineers are highest
ranked Big East member (although
Notre Dame is 17th). There are five
ACC teams ahead of WVU, and five
SEC teams ranked before the Mountaineers.
Moreover, WVU has been strong
recently in the big money sports:
football and men’s basketball. WVU
has also had top ten rankings in
men’s and women’s soccer, women’s
basketball, and women’s cross country in recent years, and the rifle team
is top notch.
West Virginia has some other
things going for it as well. The football media guide points out that the
Mountaineers have been in the most
watched Thursday and Friday night
games in ESPN history. Those solid
TV ratings helps mitigate the lack of
population in the state. WVU also
has a reputation for a passionate fanbase that also travels well. You don’t
think the ACC would like to have a
football program that has fans who
actually travel?
Another positive is the WVU
doesn’t come with political baggage.
Remember the Big Ten’s “Tech problem” and the Pac-10 facing the potential of taking Baylor instead of
Colorado. Virginia Tech was able to
jump to the ACC because their state
legislature forced the University of
Virginia to oppose any expansion
that did not include Tech. WVU
doesn’t have any of those issues,
which could increase its attractiveness.
As I have said before, it is virtually impossible to predict exactly what
will happen. I still think that once the
dust settles, West Virginia will still be
in a BCS conference, and overall
things will be OK. Until then, it doesn’t make sense to worry too much
about things of which we have no
control (of course, that doesn’t stop
many of us from worrying some anyway).

MOOREFIELD (WV) EXAMINER, Wednesday, June 9, 2010 - Page 3B
What a Heartbreaker
Continued from page 1B
Comis was sent packing by Miller
on three occasions prior to this point.
Comis came through with a line
drive into the outfield and the throw
home was not in time as two Blue
Dons slipped across the finish.
Connor Mogan stepped to the
plate and hit a RBI double as
Madonna cut the East Hardy lead
down to 7-6.
Next, Miller threw his tenth
strikeout of the game and this time
Max Nogay was redirected to the
dugout.
“Jamie is a solid pitcher. He is
not overpowering, but is a crafty
pitcher. He disguised his pitches very
well. We need to do a better job
making adjustments early,” Coach
Baire stated.
Madonna’s Ryan Mendenhall hit
the ball and it ricocheted off the dirt
at a different angle than Tyler Kerr
must have guessed, as it glanced off
his glove and skirted past Kollin
Foltz.
Mogan scored on this mishap to
tie the game.
After a walk was issued, East
Hardy senior Kolby Foltz came in to
relieve Miller, who had just thrown
his 127th pitch in the extreme heat.
Miller had a very solid outing despite the hot conditions which contributed to his arm fatigue.
The game time temperature started at 74 degrees, but rapidly increased.
The sticky mess of runs (gum)
couldn’t be cleaned off the Cougars’
paws, but Kolby Foltz got out of the
initial jam with help by Shawn
Skovron, who fell backwards to catch
the last out of the inning.
In the eighth inning, East Hardy
took a deep breath and channeled its
energy.
Miller reached with a single, then
Kolby Foltz hit a bunt high into foul
territory, but Comis was there to
make a diving somersault for the out.
The heart pounding began to resonate throughout the stands, as Tyler
Kerr smashed a home run over the
right field fence.
“My heart dropped when it happened. I knew we could get the hits
needed to push three across. What a
game, an amazing game,” Coach
Baire said.
The excitement rejuvenated
amongst the Cougars.
“We have a good group of kids
who battle every time,” Coach Snapp
noted.
East Hardy carried a 9-7 lead into
the eighth inning.
Tyler Kerr collected a grounder
and fed Kolby Foltz for the first out,
as the end drew nearer.
Max Nogay got his fourth hit of
the game with a triple, to start the
Blue Dons’ attack.
Linder sent Max Nogay home
with a RBI single.
Nogay wasn’t forgotten as Comis
lifted a walk-off shot that never returned.
“We looked at the defense and
said we aren’t going to lose this game.
If you score more runs, you can’t
lose. You can’t lose if you out hit the
other team,” Eddie Nogay said.
Comis extended his arms outward
as he flew around the bases with
much exultation.
“It seemed like we weren’t getting

the breaks, hitting a couple line
drives straight at people. Down 7-2,
we looked at each other and said we
aren’t going to lose this. We came
back, but they did too. I struggled at
the plate today with three strikeouts,
it was stressing me out. During the
last at bat the ball never came down,
it was the game-winner. It is great, a
great accomplishment to be in the
state tournament championship,”
Comis commented.
“You need to see a ball and hit it.
It is as simple as that in baseball. Hit
the ball and react to it. It hasn’t surprised me that we made it here,”
Coach Baire said.
Funny thing about that home run,
it just looked like a routine fly ball for
Stephen See, but it grew wings
(someone gave it a Red Bull) and
kept drifting past the outfield wall.
“It was a 3-1 count, I pitched the
ball high and inside. I thought it was
a fly ball for Stephen, but it kept going,” Kolby Foltz noted.
The Madonna energy that was stifled by the Cougars until the seventh
inning, was unleashed with a fury.
“We got to the point where we
needed three outs. We never got
them. What should I have done different? Hindsight is both near and
far, you can’t change what happened
in the past,” Coach Snapp stated.
East Hardy battled hard throughout the entire game, working together to make things happen, but fell
just a little short of the prize.
“East Hardy is well coached.
They will be back here without a
doubt. They will be the team to beat
next year. I was very impressed with
how they played. Honestly, I couldn’t sit here and tell you we would get
five runs in the seventh inning. Honest to goodness, I am blessed with the
talent I have,” Coach Baire stated.
“This year it just wasn’t meant to
be. God blessed us by giving us the
opportunity to play here in
Charleston. It will be a hard road
through Moorefield next year. They
have all their pitching back. Our kids
know now what it takes to win,”
Coach Snapp concluded.
Next time you are at a game, double check your shoes for gum as the
Cougars clean their paws in preparation for prowling and pouncing to
victory.
East Hardy’s impressive season
ended with a bittersweet feeling and
a 26-9 overall record.
Madonna (25-7) advanced and
defeated Man, 8-3 to garner the 2010
Class A State Championship.
East Hardy had three players join
the Class A All-Tournament Team:
Tyler Kerr, Jamie Miller, and Shawn
Skovron.
The other All-Tournament members are: Travis Hurley (Man), Lou
Comis (Madonna), Max Nogay
(Madonna), Jordan Simpson (Man),
Steven Craddock (Man), Duke
Vance (Man), Ryan Mendenhall
(Madonna), and Ryan Payne (Fayetteville).
“It feels good to be a part of the
all-tournament team, but it would
have been better with the big trophy.
It is special,” East Hardy first baseman Tyler Kerr remarked.
Kolby Foltz’ season continued on
Sunday as he participated in a rain
shortened North-South All-Star
Classic along with his future West
Virginia University roommate Colin
Mitchell of Pendleton County.
Foltz helped chase a runner back
to second base, where Mitchell collected the loose ball and tagged the
runner out when he stepped off the
bag.
Graduating on the Diamond
East Hardy Class of 2010 Valedictorian Kolby Foltz was presented with his diploma by Principal
Brad Simmons at Appalachian Power Park prior to the Class A State semifinal game. Foltz
graduated and plans to attend West Virginia University. Foltz will major in biology and study
Dentistry. Foltz participated in four sports for the Cougars: baseball, basketball, golf, and
archery.

Ohio to Ban Farms from Spreading Sludge
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio
wants to ban farmers from spreading
sewage sludge on their fields during
the winter.
The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency says the proposal is intended to prevent incidents in which
sludge that was spread on frozen
farm fields runs off and poisons
streams during sudden thaws or un-
seasonable rainstorms.
The EPA first proposed a ban in
2007 but withdrew it after officials at
sewage-treatment plants, farmers
and companies that spread sludge
complained that it was too expensive
and unnecessary.
The agency says about 140,000
tons of sludge is spread on as many as
8,800 fields across Ohio each year.
E. A. Hawse Health Center
is currently accepting applications for a
Dental Assistant,
experience preferred.
Hawse Health Center is a federally funded community
health center and provides a competitive salary structure and
excellent fringe benefit package with standard working hours.
Interested applicants should submit their resumé to the
attention of Brenda Thompson at PO Box 97, Baker, WV 26801.
Application deadline is June 18, 2010. HHC is an EOE.

TURNED UP, DOWN, OR OFF?
Youngsters are characteristically
turned off by parental warnings concerning safety. However, if they do not listen
to what their parents have to say about listening to loud music on their MP3 players, children may soon not be able to hear
much of anything. The fact is that,
because MP3 players allow children to
listen to music at unsafe volume levels,
young listeners to loud music are vulnerable to noise-induced hearing loss. In fact,
they may be at as much risk for hearing
loss as factory workers who labor in loud
working conditions without hearing protection. While the Occupational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA)
imposes safety standards for occupational
noise exposure, children enjoy no similar
benefit unless parents speak up.
Sometimes it seems as if young teenagers rarely listen to anything other than
loud music, and that good advice about
protecting their hearing usually “goes in
one ear and out the other.” For the young
as well as the young at heart, AUDIBEL
suggests you listen if a hearing instrument
is recommended after testing. We offer
many services to our clients, including
comprehensive hearing tests, a full range
of hearing instruments, and unsurpassed
personal attention.
P.S. Adolescents generally believe that
they are impervious to the damaging
effects of listening to loud music.
MOOREFIELD (WV) EXAMINER, Wednesday, June 9, 2010 - Page 7B
THE HARDY HERITAGE
I decided upon the accompanying
photograph for this week’s article
since I’ve done little in the area of
agricultural history. The photo is
likely about 100 years old, and shows
an era when power machinery was
just beginning in the South Branch
Valley. Wilbur Sions was an innovative farmer of the area near Old
Fields, or more specifically, The
Flats. A thing that I should have researched before using this photo is
just how much one of the these traction engines cost. Few farmers had
them, and those that did usually performed custom work for the surrounding areas.
Take another look at that name
“traction engine.” Even though today’s machine is much different, this
is the derivation of the shorter word
“tractor.”
There is still great interest in
these huge pieces of smoking, snorting power plants. Unless recently
discontinued, there is a mammoth
show annually at Bridgewater, Virginia, and I also believe Berryville,
Virginia hosts one.
The only thing which would make
this picture more complete for me
would to be able to identify those individuals pictured. If you can help,
give me a call.
As to why I haven’t run more pictures of valley farms and equipment,
it’s evident that these farms and machines required intense labor, thus,
few pictures were made. If you have
any, I’d love to borrow them for use
here.
I’ll begin this week by concluding
the second variation to the Killbuck
story concerning Peter Casey:
After Killbuck had apprehended
BY
HAROLD D.
GARBER
the escaped slave, Casey refused to
pay the reward as promised. “A
quarrel ensued, and Casey knocked
Kill-buck down with his cane. When
the war broke out, Kill-buck sought
every opportunity to kill Casey, but
never could succeed. Many years afterward, Casey’s son obtained a lieutenancy, and was ordered to Wheeling, where Kill-buck then being,
young Casey requested some of his
friends to introduce him to him.
When Kill-buck heard his name, he
paused for a moment, and repeating,
‘Casey! Casey!’ inquired of the young
man whether he knew Peter Casey.
The Lieutenant replied, ‘Yes, he is
my father.’ Kill-buck immediately
exclaimed ‘Bad man, bad man, he
once knocked me down with his
cane.’ On the young man’s proposing to make up the breach, the old
chief replied, ‘Will you pay me the
pistole?’ Young Casey refused to do
this, but proposed to treat with a
quart of rum, to which the old warrior assented, saying, ‘Peter Casey old
man—Kill-buck old man;’ and then
stated that he had frequently
watched for an opportunity to kill
him, ‘but he was too lazy—would not
come out of the fort; Kill-buck now
friends with him, and bury the tomahawk.’ The Indian chief, it is said
was living about fourteen years ago,
and had become blind from his great
age, being little under, and probably
over, one hundred years.” (Since the
first edition of Kercheval’s HISTORY was published in 1833, Kill-Buck
may have lived to approximately
1819.)
My Indian expert from the Cumberland area provided corrected information for two items which appeared two weeks ago. The first was
that the village site excavated near
Romney after the 1985 Flood was a
Susquehanna village rather than a
Shawnee village. The second correction was that Dr. Walls, who is supervising the dig next week at the Barton, Maryland site is on the faculty at
Towson State University, rather than
at Frostburg. One other interesting
note about the Romney dig was a
complete absence of trade beads
which are usually found at similar
sites.
Also, in an earlier conversation
with John Domenico, I asked about
area Indians with names, such as Killbuck, which have come down to us.
He indicated that there are very few,
but provided some information on
Chief Nemacolin, most often associated with southern and western
Pennsylvania. Most of you would
have heard of the Nemacolin Trail of
this area, which takes its name from
this chief.
Kercheval makes a weak reference to one other Indian of renown,
but I have never encountered a reference or this name elsewhere: “There
was another great Indian warrior
called ‘Crane,’ but the author has not
been able to collect any particular
traditionary accounts of the feats performed by him.”
Special by The Library Spy
Hey, all you readers, something’s
going on at the library. There’s been
a flurry of activity on the premises.
Delivery trucks have been dropping
off big brown boxes, signs are going
up, and the staff have been talking a
lot louder than usual. It’s a real madhouse down there.
Since I consider myself something
of a world-class spy, I decided to
hang around and pick up whatever
clues I could… to share with you, of
course. So, last Friday, I turned up at
the library wearing a long dark trench
coat and a hat pulled down at just the
right angle for spying. Boy was I hot!
I scoped out the joint and zeroed in
on a nice comfortable sofa in the
Reading Room that was exactly the
right place for a little ear observation.
Here’s what I heard: Green frogs
will apparently be streaking through
the air. Snow cones of red, purple,
I’m going to conclude the topic of
Indians with this anecdote included
by Kercheval until I’m able to write
something of greater substance about
native Americans or their relics. I
have begun the documentation of
those families where Indian ancestry
can be proven, but it’s far from complete. If you’d like to add your family, or another family, where intermarriage with Indians is proven
(best) or rumored in the family,
please contact me. Here’s another
“side” of Killbuck:
“Shortly after this occurrence (a
major Indian battle just outside Fort
Cumberland), Kill-buck attempted
to take Fort Cumberland by stratagem. He approached it at the head
of a large force of warriors; under the
guise of friendship, pretending to
wish an amicable intercourse with the
garrison, proposed to Maj. Livingston to admit himself and warriors. Some hints having been given
to the commander to be upon his
guard, Livingston seemingly consented to the proposal; but no sooner had
Kill-buck and his chief officers entered than the gates were closed upon them. The wily chief being thus
entrapped, was roundly charged with
his intended treachery, of which the
circumstances were too self-evident
to be denied. Livingston, however,
inflicted no other punishment upon
his captives than a mark of humiliating disgrace, which to an Indian warrior was more mortifying than
death. This stigma was, it is sup-
posed, dressing them in petticoats
and driving them out of the fort.” A
footnote adds these comments: “The
venerable John Tomlinson related
this affair to the author. Mr. Tomlinson does not recollect the particular
mark of disgrace inflicted on these
Indians. The Rev. Mr. Jacobs, of
Hampshire, suggested this as the
most probable.”
My only postscript to this incident
was that I find it hard to believe that
Killbuck, with all the carnage attributed to his leadership, was allowed to
leave the fort with no more punishment than this.
Next week, old things, but “newer” old things than later 18th century.
Wratchford Recognized by US Achievement Academy
LIBRARY WINDOWS
\“What in the World is
Happening at the Library?”
Traction engine owned by Wilbur Sions about 1910
and blue will be had – by whom I’m
not sure. (I suffered a fit of sneezing
at this point and missed hearing
some of the next clues.) The smell of
buttery popcorn being munched on
while a rainbow of colors light up a
darkened room? Doesn’t sound illegal, but who eats popcorn in a library,
I ask you? A treasure chest wrapped
up tightly, hiding its contents until
the magic day. Beach balls. Crafts.
Water. Prizes. The click of gold
coins changing hands? Sounds fishy!
Hearing all that I could hear, I
took a stroll around the place hoping
to pick up a few more interesting bits
of information. I happened to pass
by one of the aforementioned posters
(which, I’m ashamed to admit, I forgot to read) that was advertising the
2010 Summer Reading Program.
Could this be what all those clues
were about? It seems so! This year’s
theme is Make a Splash @ Your Library. (Hmmm, some of the clues
are making sense now.) Sign-up for
the program at the Moorefield library begins on June 19th and ends
on June 26th. Sign-up for the program at the Baker library begins on
June 21st and ends on June 25th.
Each library has different activities
and crafts planned, so check with
your respective library to find out all
the details. But both libraries will
celebrate another successful summer
of reading by topping off the program with a pool party at the Moorefield Town Pool on August 9th from
7:00pm to 10:00pm.
Before I go on my next spying
mission, I have one more detail to
share with you. There’s something
new to the program this year: adults
are being encouraged to sign up, too!
And, if they frequent the library already, they don’t have to do anything
different, just sign up. Any adult that
participates in the program will be eligible to win some goodies from local
eateries in special drawings at the
end of the program. Free food for
simply reading? Who has a better
deal than that?
Well, until the next time the public needs a spy in the library, tallyho!

42nd Annual Heritage Days Festival
In a city loaded with history beginning before the American Revolution, creating a festival to celebrate
its heritage was a logical step in 1968.
And now 42 years later, Cumberland’s official street festival, Heritage
Days is still going strong.
Scheduled for the second full
weekend in June, Heritage Days is
filled with arts and crafts, music and
other street entertainment, a children’s carnival and plenty of food
vendors. Located on historic Washington Street, known for its magnificent Victorian homes, and Downtown Cumberland, the 2010 Heritage
Days is scheduled for Saturday, June
12 and Sunday, June 13.
History buffs will enjoy visiting
the Emmanuel Episcopal Church,
the original site of Fort Cumberland
and the festival’s base for the miniencampment of the Maryland Forces
from Fort Frederick who will be practicing military drills and offering
questions and answer periods. The
Army of Potomac Civil War, 3rd MD
Co. B, Vincent’s Brigade living historians will also be camped on the
grounds demonstrating military drills
and weapons fire demonstrations.
Also located on the church grounds
will be the Band of Merry Gamesters
demonstrating a variety of 18th century toys and games
Tours of the tunnels under Emmanuel Episcopal Church will also
be available. The tunnels date from
the late 1700s and were part of the
Underground Railroad during the
Civil War. Church members will host
one of the festival’s most popular
dining opportunities – Strawberry
Shortcake and Salad Luncheon.
The Masonic Temple built in 1910
will be hosting guided tours through
the building. The interior of the
building features ceiling and wall
paintings, elaborately carved ceremonial chairs, desks and altars. Free
child identification kits will be available at the temple. The Masonic
Temple has not been open for tours
during Heritage Days for several
years.
Heritage Days Festival is host to
over 150 artisans who fill up the sidewalks on Washington and Baltimore
Streets presenting their handmade
Fish Kills in Pa.,
W.Va. May be
Linked to Bacteria
ROANOKE, W.Va. (AP) - A biologist says fish kills at two northwestern Pennsylvania lakes are similar to
the one that’s continuing at Stonewall
Jackson Lake in north-central West
Virginia.
Division of Natural Resources biologist Kevin Yokum says fish at Pymatuning and Tamarack lakes bear
the same brown lesions as the crappie
dying all week at Stonewall Jackson.
Lab tests are pending, but Yokum
says that suggests a virus or bacterial
infection could be to blame.
Yokum says viruses in fish are like
the flu in humans: They lurk in the environment all the time, thriving when
conditions including water temperature and sunlight are ideal.
Yokum said small numbers of
crappie continued to die Friday at
Stonewall Jackson, but the pace is
slowing and other species remain
healthy.

items. Each arts and crafts vendor is
juried and invited to attend the festival. Several of the vendors come
back every year and consider Heritage Days as one of their favorite
summer festivals.
“One of most popular features
for families is the Children’s Carnival
complete with Moon Bounce, Big
Blue Whale, a Ferris Wheel and
plenty of carnival games,” commented Gayle Griffith, Festival Coordinator. “There are plenty of other children’s activities throughout the two
days including face painting and the
Allegany Arts Council ‘Arts Bus’, a
traveling studio with various children’s arts projects”.
Both festival days feature a variety of musical entertainment on two
stages, one on Washington Street and

one on Baltimore Street. The music
varies and includes jazz, rock and
roll, country, gospel and big band.
“We work with all of the local museums, the Western Maryland Scenic
Railroad, C&O Canal Heritage
Preservation, the arts community and
businesses in Downtown Cumberland to create a variety of activities.
There is always something for everyone,” added Griffith, Festival Coordinator. “Of course, a lot of people
tell me they come for the food – we
have everyone’s favorites from Funnel Cakes and Scotch Shortbread to
Polish Sausage and Greek Gyros!”
There is no admission fee to the
festival. Saturday hours are 10 a.m. –
6 p.m. and Sunday hours are 11 a.m.
