That project was not the only Braxton County Crops run properties to receive American Recovery and Reinvestment Act or Stimulus Funds. Burnsville Lake received an even bigger share of the federal monies and has begun work on $1,971,000 of improvements for their facility in the northern portion of the county. The bulk of the money will be utilized in upgrading the popular Bulltown and Riffle Run Campgrounds. Electrical and sewer installation and upgrade are currently underway at over 250 of the facilities’ camp sites. Water and sewer serveral will be added to camp sites on C,D,E, and F loops at Bulltown. In addition many of the locations will see improved electrical service as the capacity will be increased from 30 to 50 amp hookups. Like Sutton, most of music stations, slides and swings. The work is expected to be completed by November 30. The immediate areas around the playgrounds will be closed beginning October 5 through the completion date. The remainder of the facilities will remain open during this process. A portion of the money will be utilized to maintain and improve the Weston-Gauley Turnpike. Approximately ten miles of the original thoroughfare lies within the Burnsville Lake project boundaries. The area will be cleared, fenced and drainage installed to improve the hiking trail that is part of the National Register of Historical Trails. “We are very pleased with the work force we have hired and the improvements that will be made to our facility,” says Pingley. “We are also working on other projects that may be funded with additional ARRA monies that may become available.” The work at the Burnsville Lake is schedWork at the Bulltown Campground is well underway to uled to be completed by upgrade sewer, water and electrical service to campers. September, 2010. the work will be performed by an expanded Corp work force. “We have hired seven individuals that will work with our five member maintenance staff. We plan to hire three more in the near future,” explains Rick Pingley, project manager for Burnsville Lake. Most of the campsites will also get a face lift as timbers will be added to define driveways and new gravel will provide for a cleaner “living area.” In addition, eight of the projects playgrounds, which are now approaching 30 years old, will be replaced. The contract was awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to Cunningham Associates of Charlotte, N.C., with a total cost of $472,586. The equipment will include an Americans with Disabilities Act accessible ramp and accessible activity panels, climbing rocks / walls, County to implement “Project Lifesaver” Commission proclaims Breast Cancer Awareness & Domestic Violence Awareness month Sue Patalano, state program administrator for Project Lifesaver was one of several people to address the Braxton County Commission at their regular meeting last Friday, October 2. The Wood County resident explained that Project Lifesaver is a search and rescue system utilizing radio transmitters and electronic tracking equipment to locate Alzheimer patients, autistic individuals, or those with down syndrome or traumatic brain injuries who may become lost. “Before Project Lifesaver, the only option available to locate these individuals was to conduct an extensive, costly and potential lengthy search that often involved hundreds of personnel from local law enforcement agencies, fire departments and rescue squads. These searches could take up to several days or even weeks,” Patalano told County officials. “Project Lifesaver relies on proven tracking technology, combined with specially trained search and rescue teams, to return adults and children who have wandered to their loved ones,” she added. The representative said a grant from John Reese of Morgantown provides $50,000 per year to purchase equipment to establish the program. She said the program was active in nine West Virginia counties. The only cost to the county would be purchasing the tracking transmitter, which cost approximately $300 each for start up and/or distribution to those who couldn’t afford to privately purchase them. She also said the only ongoing expense is regular replacement of batteries and bracelets which is usually handled by a monthly maintenance fee of $10. Fred Thompson, County OES Director said he had talked to community organizations and businesses and felt the financial support would be present in Braxton County to support the program. The presenters told the Commission of instances where searches that encompassed large amounts of time and re- sources had been reduced to mere hours where the system was in use. Following the presentation, Mike Chapman made a motion that the Commission contribute $2,000 in startup costs from the Coal Severance Fund to implement Project Sue Patalano and Capt. Mark King of the Wood County Sheriff’s Office demonstrate the tracking devices used in conjunction with Project Lifesaver. Lifesaver in Braxton County. That action passed unanimously. Sissy Price represented a delegation from the Braxton County Health Department. She requested that the Commission authorize a proclamation that she read designating October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Braxton County. That request was granted on a motion by Commissioner Chapman. Regina Swecker, requested that the Commission also proclaim October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month. That action was granted on a motion introduced by David Jack. Prosecuting Attorney Kelly Hamon McLaughlin was present to answer questions presented by the Commission.

PSD discusses raw sewage discharge By Virginia Carr Chairman Eldred Drake called the September 30 regularly scheduled meeting of the FlatwoodsCanoe Run Public Service District to order at 10:00 am. All members were present with the exception of Scott Ratliff. John Gibson moved to approve the minutes of the August 31 meeting. Eldred Drake seconded the motion. Kevin Lilly, a Department of Environmental Protection inspector, came before the board to report that Chris Garrett, Braxton County sanitarian, had received a complaint concerning the discharge of raw sewage into Elk River. As a DEP inspector, Lilly was called to assess the situation in the Sutton Moose Lodge area. A dis- covery was made that the discharge was coming from an undetermined source through a section of 8-10 inch terra cotta pipe and is discoloring the river water making the water quality questionable. A discussion of the best possible resolution to the problem ensued. Fred Hypes of Dunn Engineering gave the opinion that dye testing be done in that area to determine the source of the raw sewage and add that area to the Phase II sewer project. Impact of the addition would be minimal to the overall cost of the project and the additional cost could be paid out of contingency funds. Hypes also reported that smoke testing had been done in the Sutton and Gassaway areas in regard to the CSO Project, which was a portion of the sewer agenda. The smoke testing report unofficially revealed that storm drains and some culverts were still tied into the sanitary system in both municipal areas. More access points are needed in the town of Sutton and a new sanitary system in Gassaway is needed as well as replacement of storm sewers. Fred Hypes and Attorney H. Wyatt Hanna led the discussion of financing scenarios for the Phase II sewer project. Applications for the project funds were not submitted in time for stimulus funds. It was reported that the DEP was expecting more money in 2010 and there may be reallocations of several surrounding states’ money if it is not used.

OPINION Page 2 Braxton Citizens’ News October 6, 2009 Editorials Letters Columns Our views • Your views • Their views As I See It From our readers By Ed Given PATH meeting… Long time readers of this column have often heard me complain about deadlines. As I have said before, deadlines often present challenges and sometimes get in the way of doing what one would prefer to do. That was the case last Monday when the West Virginia Pubic Service Commission held two public hearings pertaining to the PATH project at Flatwoods. Readers probably recall that PATH is a high voltage transmission line that will cross our state and county to carry power from the John Amos Power Plant in the Kanawha Valley to the heavily populated areas of the East. The local gatherings are part of a statewide process. The project has created a huge amount of discussion and controversy. I wanted to attend one of the meetings held at the Days Hotel to learn more about the project. Unfortunately both meetings that were held locally occurred on a Monday, which is our publication day. Mondays for me start early and end late. There was no time to leave the office. I did discuss the meeting with some who attended. I also read accounts of the meeting in the Charleston Newspapers. The attendance probably didn’t truly reflect the interest from our area. The timing was not good for common people to attend and express their opinions. From those I spoke with, as well as the accounts I read, there did not seem to be much, if any support for the project. Most of the objections centered on the question of whether the project was needed or not and the cost to rate payers. Unless someone comes up with a new approach that I have not yet heard, I agree. I have not heard a good case that clearly identifies a need. The biggest thing that I don’t like is the fact that our State will take the blunt end of this project on the chin and what do we get for it? Our electric bills will go up and we won’t even be utilizing the power. I oppose this approach by all utilities that attempt to use it. I don’t think the existing rate payers should pay for expansion that doesn’t benefit them… in most cases the stock holders are the benefactors. There certainly are those who make that argument about this project. There has to be an end to it… the public can just stand so much. It is obvious that there are alternatives. I think we should investigate them further before giving AEP and its partners our blank check. The only good thing that I have heard pertains to the sale of coal. Yes, our state relies on the jobs provided by the coal industry. One of the only items I read last week pertained to the largest power rate increase in history. What was their reason? The utility has been paying higher prices for coal. I don’t want to see anyone unemployed. However, I don’t want to see anyone forced to choose between paying their electric bill and buying the medicine and/or food that is necessary to keep them alive. I believe PATH is a bad idea. If you disagree, let us know. Please remember that it is a long standing policy of this newspaper that we must carry the signature of those who wish to present their ideas in these pages. While I invite and encourage you to write us, I would simply add that it will be a waste of time to send me an anonymous letter. I seldom read them, and we never publish them.

Dear Editor, On September 28 I attended the Public Service Commission hearing in Flatwoods regarding the P.A.T.H. It was disheartening to see how few people were there. This project will affect all West Virginians in a negative way. It is another example of outsiders “walking all over” West Virginia with no benefit to our citizens. From listening to comments at the meeting, we will see higher electric bills since someone has to pay for this project. We will pay even though this project is for other states’ electricity. The health and environmental issues will be with us for years. Besides the operation of the power lines, the upkeep using powerful herbicides will cause health concerns for all West Virginians, especially our children and grandchildren. We owe them a better legacy than this P.A.T.H. More hearings are scheduled: October 2, 12:30 and 6:30 PM, Cultural Center, Charleston, WV; October 13, 12:30 and 6:30 PM, Canaan Valley Resort, Davis, WV; and October 22, 12:30 and 6:30 PM, WV Wesleyan College, Buckhannon, WV. I would urge people to go to any of these hearings to gain more information or to express their opinion on the P.A.T.H. These public hearings are the peoples’ opportunity to speak. Please take advantage of it. Sincerely, Diane Gross Little Birch Days... To the Editor, I wish to congratulate all those hard working people who have made “Little Birch Days” possible. Each year my sister Carol and I travel from Akron, Ohio to enjoy the festivities there. That is where we spent our childhood. Each year, we see some friends from our past and it is wonderful. Meanwhile, a well planned program of entertainment is going on, such as: The dog show, wet frozen tee shirt contest, antique car show, clogging, BCHS Marching Band, fashion show, Hillbilly Stompers, singers and much more. This year we had the joyful surprise and excitement of being entertained by Rocky Elvis and his helpmate Kay. We loved his Elvis songs, the dancing and scarves he gave to some of us lucky ladies. We are having a great time dancing and the children danced nonstop. I understand Rocky Elvis will return to LBD’s in 2010. We are looking forward to it! We especially give credit to “Braxton Citizens’ News” for all the beautiful colored pictures you published on 8-25-2009. You did a great job! Thank you.

Given Lola slowed up by some surgery My general health has been exceptional, especially for my age. Having my family doctor in Charleston for years, I had thought any surgery I would have would be in Charleston, but circumstances and confidence in our local surgeon changed my mind. After symptoms of gall bladder problems, I consulted our local hospital and surgeon Dr. Ronald Pearson. On September 23 rd, I was the first on the list for surgery after all the pre-lab and paper work. The operation went very well and the nursing care was excellent. My follow up with the surgeon will be Monday the 5 th of October. I was expecting pain and all the discom- News from our Capitol forts of surgery only to find a slight soreness from the laparoscopic surgery and I did not have to take any pain medication at all. Expecting to stay the night, I was allowed to leave early and go home with my son Earl and his wife Linda. I returned to my home on Sunday. My care and recovery has been super and I thank those at the hospital. I thank family and friends for all the cards, telephone calls and above all the prayers. With my eyesight problems, I may not get thank you cards out to everyone, but thank you so much. So we find our treasure in our own back yard. Lola B. Given weeks and months ahead.

Youth deer hunting days to be offered Youth hunters between the ages of 8 and 14 will have the opportunity to harvest an antlerless deer during three days in 2009. Youth deer hunting days will be October 31, December 26 and December 28, according to Frank Jezioro, Director of the Division of Natural Resources. “Youth deer hunting days are an excellent opportunity to introduce young hunters to the sport of deer hunting,” said Jezioro. “The October deer hunting day is a good way to let young people experience deer hunting while temperatures are mild. In addition, foliage is at peak color and wildlife is very active. The days in late December coincide with a time of year when many families are together celebrating the holidays. The youth hunting days in December may allow young hunters to hunt with family members who are not able to participate at other times of the year. The special split youth deer season will be held on private land in all counties having a firearms deer hunting season and on 47 specified Wildlife Management Areas and three state forests listed on page 31 of the 2009-2010 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary. Youth hunters must be accompanied by a licensed adult at least 21 years of age who must also wear 400 square inches of blaze orange, cannot carry a gun or bow, and must remain near enough to the youth to render advice and assistance.

Steve Sanders expressed his desire to name the water plant for Jim Rogers, a long time Flatwoods-Canoe Run PSD board member. A motion by John Gibson was made to submit requisition #2 to Region VII for reimbursement of H. Wyatt Hanna’s fee in the amount of $19,237.50. Eldred Drake seconded the motion. Rodney Pritt reported on the Beamer/Harper Ridge waterline. The right of way has been cleared and the project is ready to proceed. Scotty’s Trenching was the low bidder on the project with $9000 and a rock clause that would add $2500. John Gibson moved that the bid be accepted. Mr. Gibson made a motion that the water bills be paid. Todd Dingess presented the financial summary for July 1, 2009 thru August 31, 2009. Since revenue was down for water operations due to Weyerhaeuser cutting production, John Gibson moved that the Public Service Commission rate case as related to Weyerhaeuser be reopened and Eldred Drake seconded the action. Sewer operations finances are considerably better than water operations finances, where expenditures are still exceeding income. Under new business Rodney Pritt discussed the work session concerning employee insurance. A representative from the Braxton County Commission attended the work session and explained their policy on insurance. On a motion by John Gibson and seconded by Eldred Drake, all future full time employees, effective October 1, 2009, will pay 10% of their health insurance cost and retirement health insurance costs with Flatwoods-Canoe Run paying the remaining 90%. This plan is similar to the Braxton County Commission’s procedure. The discussion of longterm employee wage scales was tabled to a work session, where an in depth look at wages will be done. Steve Sanders presented an unresolved right of way issue concerning the Clyde Putnam property. John Gibson made a motion authorizing the relocation of a gas line and up to $1000 for right of way acquisition. Eldred Drake seconded the motion. The meeting was ad- journed on a motion by Mr. Gibson and seconded by Mr. Drake. The next regularly scheduled meeting will be Friday, October 30 at 10:00 am.

He was a 1970 graduate of Gilmer County High School, a 1974 graduate of Glenville State College, and later received both Masters and Doctoral degrees from West Virginia University.

Citizens’ NEWS Braxton County, WV COMMUNITY CORNER PAT’S CHAT There is a great program for children in the Burnsville area that is sponsored by the First Baptist Church there. Awanna went well last year and has now restarted with a bang! A bonfire, hayride and cookout were to be held today at the home of Pastor Tony and Kim Conrad and I am sure all the children had a wonderful time. If your children or grandchildren want to enjoy some inspiring times with the group, they meet every Sunday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. and everyone is welcome to join them. John Godwin of Burnsville has been in the Braxton Memorial Hospital recently. Our best wishes to him for speedy recovery. Mary Carr, a member of our Seventh-day Adventist Church here in Buckhannon was in St. Joseph’s Hospital this past week. She was discharged on Saturday morning and insisted that her family BY PAT RIDPATH take her to church. She is a delightful, feisty ninetyfour-year-old wonder! We all love her and marvel at her continued positive influence. When told a while back that the doctors at Ruby would not operate on her heart because of her age, she told them they would too! She would not take, “NO,” for an answer. She survived beautifully! Attitude has got to be a big percentage of what it takes to survive life’s troubles. Martha Kerns wrote that she “wanted to let you know that I enjoy reading your very informational column . . . Also, I am a former employee of Weston Hospital and it is great to see some of the names of employees that I knew when I worked there. For instance, Libby Ferrell and others. I worked in the Accounts Payable Dept. from May 1971 and retired November 1, 1994. It was originally known as Bookkeeping Dept. and later updated to Accounts Payable. It is amazing that the hospital was so large that there were a lot of people who worked there that I might have known but had no idea they worked there because I never saw them. Some I saw due to processing travel expenses etc. or passed them in the hallway. I worked in four different offices in the old building due to moving from one to the other. I was so glad that I got to work from March to November in the new Sharpe Hospital. It was like going from a model T to a Cadillac. Great! Best Wishes, Martha Kerns” Toni Wine wishes Happy Birthday to Amos Singleton, October 1; Linda Dean and Norma Brown, October 2; Richard Posey, October 6; Bob Singleton , October 14 (but I believe it is October 15 instead); Lynn Ratliff, October 17. She also congratulates new parents, Rebecca and Junior Lester, who have a son, Jessie Williams born September 1. Ralph and Ruth Carson have a new grandson, Lester. Toni says they need new people at the Burnsville United Church. Come on Sunday at 10 a.m. if you don’t have a church to go to. We welcome you to come, she writes. The pastor is Jim Burrough.

Long Flatwoods Quick Mart & Bear Heaven Flatwoods Fuel Stop Little Birch Sunoco Birch River Sunoco Citizens’ NEWS Page 10 October 6, 2009 Braxton County, WV Braxton County CEOS hold annual Achievement Day TRUTH OR TRADITION? “God will accept any and all worship as long as we are honest and sincere” Truth or Tradition? The Right to Worship. In a letter to the editor of a county paper some time ago, a woman made the comment that we have a God-given right to worship as we please. While it is true that our constitution grants us that right, does God? Has God ever, since the beginning of time, given man the right to worship as he pleases? Cain. There is no reason to doubt Cain’s honesty and sincerity when God accepted Abel’s offering, and rejected Cain’s. His sin was in offering the fruit of the ground rather than a blood sacrifice. Genesis 4:1-8. Nadab and Abihu. Neither have we any reason to question the honesty and sincerity of these two sons of Aaron, when they offered “strange fire” unto the Lord. Fire came down from God and destroyed them, apparently because they got fire to light the incense from some place other than the altar of burnt offering. Leviticus 10:1-2; 16:12-13. The Prophets Of Baal. The prophet Elijah once challenged the prophets of Baal to a contest to prove the true God. Each was to build an altar, prepare the wood and sacrifice, and then call on their god/God to light the sacrifice. The prophets of Baal were to go first. All morning they jumped and leaped about their altar calling on Baal to hear them. In the afternoon they became even more fervent as they cut themselves with knives and lancets till the blood gushed out upon them. No question of their honesty and sincerity, but Baal never answered. 1 Kings 18. Do you think the God of heaven accepted the worship of those prophets? Jesus Taught: “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me.” Matthew 7:21-23. Have we any reason to question their honesty and sincerity? The Braxton County Community Education Outreach Service members held their annual Achievement Day at Hope Baptist Church in Frametown, WV on Friday, September 18th at 10:00 a.m. This special event gives the members of Braxton County a day to reflect and give themselves a pat on the back for all of the community service they provide each year focusing on education for the community, family heritage and value, and support to other community works, such as supporting local firehouse activities, cancer aware- Gladys Butcher from the Elk Valley club.

Carol Merzouk read a poem, “I’m Free” and lit candles in memory of those members in Braxton County that passed away this year, Mamie Johnson from the Fairview club, and cooks in the county! The speaker for the day, Pat Nestor, representing Jackson’s Mill, he is an advisor to the Marketing and Member State Committee, and is a Specialist in Volunteer Development, updated all members on the happenings and improvements at Jackson’s Mill. His talk, “Planting for the Future”, “Are You Looking For Me” was both informative and interesting. Mr. Nestor explained how volunteers like ourselves can impact a community and make a difference and create a positive community force. An installation ceremony was held for the Secretary, Janis Young, and Treasurer, Lucy Stalnaker, with guest Ann Nestor, our Area Representative performing the pledges.

Page 11 SPORTS Braxton Citizens’ News October 6, 2009 • Youth • Middle School • High School Reporting Braxton County’s sports action Lady Eagles down Roane in LKC victory The Lady Eagles varsity volleyball team “returned the favor” to the Roane County Lady Raiders last Thursday. Braxton handed Roane a straight three-set loss to improve the Eagles’ LKC record to 3-0. Commenting on the important victory, coach John Park said, “We really needed this win. It puts us in control of where we play for our LKC North/South matchups.” Braxton and Wirt remain the only unbeatens in league play and that sets the stage for a showdown on October 15 as Wirt comes to Braxton. “If things stay the same, this [the October 15 match-up] should be a great game. This match could determine if we play for an LKC championship,” Coach Park explained. “The girls would love to see the gym packed for this match,” he added. In the October 1 match against Roane, the Eagles won the first game 25-20 and then, in two very tough games, took the second 25-23 and the third 27-25. The Lady Eagles junior varsity squad continued their dominance in the south by defeating the Lady Raiders JV. Coach Park described the action, “Roane came out and took us out of our game plan in the first set, but we regrouped, got back to doing things our way, and took the next two sets.” Scores of the October 1 junior varsity match against Roane saw Braxton go down 2125 in the first game, but the Eagles came back to win the next two 25-21 and 25-14. Last Saturday, the Lady Eagles junior varsity showed their determination in a tournament at Nicholas. Coach Park said that his squad was “pooled with three AAA schools,” but added that he “ {enjoys] the challenges of playing bigger schools.” The Lady Eagles junior varsity proved equal to the challenge issued them as they “hit the win column” by beating Morgantown in two sets. The Eagles’ first victory came with a score of 25-20, and they won the match by taking the sec- ond game 25-22. The next match did not go so well for Braxton as Spring Valley handed the Lady Eagles a hardfought two-set loss. Coach Park explained the loss, “We got rattled and never got back to playing our game. Our serves were off, our passes were not to the setter, and we squandered opportunities that we normally would capitalize on. But we challenged [Spring Valley] none the less.” The Lady Eagles lost those two games 22-25 and 21-25. Following the loss to Spring Valley, Braxton faced a win-or-go-home situation, and the team responded. They defeated host Nicholas in two straight sets to advance to semi-final play. “We knew what had to be done if we wanted to continue playing, and we did the little things that got the job done,” Coach Park noted. Braxton won that match in straight sets with convincing scores of 25-18 and 25-12. In semi-final play, Braxton met Pool A winner Greenbrier West. The Braxton coach commented that he felt “[the Lady Eagles] were slightly intimidated by the size of their players heading into this match. They had four girls that looked down on our tallest players.” However, according to their coach, Braxton gave GW “all they could handle as [the match] went to three straight sets” to determine the winner. “We played hard and made some tremendous hustle plays that kept us in the match. I’m very proud of the girls. They matured greatly with playing in this tournament.” Coach Park went on to comment, “A few of these girls are adjusting to losing for the first time since they were sixth-graders. We are trying to overcome that fear of making a mistake and then not getting past it to play the next point.” After losing 21-25 in the first game against Greenbrier West the Lady Eagles came back to take the second game 26-24. GW won the third match 15-9.

Braxton coach Matt Rollyson attributed the loss to “turnovers and field position.” He explained, “We had three turnovers, two of them unforced, and our special teams allowed Nicholas excellent field position three different times.” One of the Grizzlies scores followed a Braxton fumble deep in their own territory. Nicholas took possession and quickly scored. At times, according to Coach Rollyson, Braxton’s “special teams were in good position to punt but twice, the punts didn’t total thirty yards, and Nicholas gained possession at midfield.” He concluded by saying, “Our problems basically were self-inflicted. We moved the ball pretty well, and Nicholas really didn’t do anything spectacular. They just took advantage of our mistakes.” Statistically, the Grizzlies passed for 173 yards and carried the ball 39 times for 126 yards and a total offense of 299 yards. Their leading ground gainer was Mayes, who carried the ball 13 times for 50 yards. Hogan, the leading receiver, caught 5 passes for 72 yards and two touchdowns. Jake Ferguson also had five receptions for 70 yards. Braxton’s offense totalled 166 yards, with 43 yards coming in 17 carries and 123 yards on Jordan Lacy’s 15 of 24 completed passes. Braxton’s leading receiver, Tyler Cottrill, picked up 47 yards on two receptions. The Eagles held Nicholas to one first-half touchdown, scored on a four-yard run by J.T. McClung, but Mayes went to work in the second half and took his team to their fourth win of the season. With 8:54 left in the third quarter, Mayes scored from eight yards out. Jordan Hogan, who was 4 for 4 in extra-point attempts Friday night, added the PAT, and the Grizzlies were up 14-0. Mayes tossed a two-yard pass to Hogan with 3:33 mark left in the third for six more points, and Hogan followed with the PAT kick. Another touchdown pass from Mayes to Hogan came in the fourth quarter. Hogan’s kick made the final score 28-0. The Eagles face Ravenswood, ranked number one in AA, this week.
