make DUI,
drug arrests
On a recent Saturday
night at approximately
1:00 a.m. local State Police
received a report of a vehicle driving in circles at
the Rest Area. The report
also indicted that the vehicle had been driving
north in the south bound
lane but had returned to
the rest area. Upon arrival,
officers found the 2000
Dodge Stratus and its
driver Joshua Stillwell, 22

After registering over
two times the legal limit,
Stillwell was charged with
Driving under the Influence second offense. He
was also charged with driving with suspended operations, no insurance and
improper registration.
When questioned about his
irregular driving habits in
the rest area, Stillwell told
Sgt. J.W. Bonazzo that he
became confused and
couldn’t find his way.
He was arraigned before Magistrate Larry
Clifton. He was initially
incarcerated in the Central Regional Jail on a
$13,500 bond. He later
posted that bond and was
released pending additional court appearances.
Officers of the Sutton
Detachment recently received information from a
confidential informant
that a drug transaction was
going to take place in the
Sutton area. Troopers apprehended the described
automobile as it approached the designated
location. Police confiscated
oxycodone with a street
value of over $1,300 which
led to the arrest of three
individuals. Charles Edward Dennison of Sutton,
William Arnet Stutler, III
and Lou Bruce-Mowery
both of Gassaway were all
charged with possession
with intent to deliver and
two counts of conspiracy.
Troopers C.T. Speece, J.P.
Miller and Sgt. J.W.
Bonazzo were assisted by
deputies of the Braxton
County Sheriff’s Department.
On the same evening,
Troopers witnessed a vehicle swerving across the
center line. When Trooper
L. D. Mohr stopped the vehicle, he arrested David
Tonkin of Gassaway, He
was charged with driving

Grand Jury indicts 12
The June term of the
Braxton County Grand
Jury met last week under
the supervision of the Honorable
Richard
A.
Facemire, chief judge of
the 14th Judicial Circuit. At

were indicted on thirtyseven separate charges.
Trooper L.D. Mohr of
the Sutton Detachment of
the West Virginia State
Police presented information that resulted in
Amanda Schoonover of
Duck, being charged with
two counts of delivery of a
controlled substance,
methophophine. The allegations stem from a October 4, 2008 incident.
James David Maciak
of Ravenswood was indicted
charges of obtaining goods
by false pretenses; receiving or transferring stolen
goods and grand larceny.
The charges result from
vehicles trades or purchases from Finish Line
Motors and Harrison

laboratory. Troopers J.P.
Drake and C.T. Specce
were the investigating officers.
Ronald Johnson and
Joseph Rose, both of Birch
River, were indicted for
grand larceny, nighttime
burglary and two counts of

charges. He was charged
with two counts of possession of a controlled substance with the intent to
deliver from an incident

2009. He is also charged
with delivery of a controlled

Sutton Detachment presented the information to
the Grand Jury.
It was also Trooper

Waitman Frame of

controlled substance with
the intent to deliver, and
conspiracy. The substance
was oxycodone. The investigation began in January,
2008.
(Editor’s Note: The return of an indictment by a
Grand Jury indicated that
a person has been formally
charged by the State with
the commission of a crime
or crimes. It is an accusation. The U.S. Constitution
provides that a person is
presumed innocent until
proven guilty by the State.
Upon entering a plea of innocent, persons accused in
an indictment are entitled
to a trial by a jury of their
peers. The guilt or innocence of the accused is
determined by a petit Jury,
not by means of an indictment by a Grand Jury.)
Gassaway fire ruled arson
It was just after midnight, June 10 when
neighbors noticed flames
shooting from the windows
of a structure located at
232 Elk St. in Gassaway.
Minutes after the alarm
sounded, the first units
from the Gassaway Volunteer Fire Department arrived on scene. Their quick
action, along with the assistance of Frametown, Sutton
FVDs and the County ladder
truck, were credited with
saving the adjacent structures which were just a few
inches away and minimizing damage to the two story
dwelling.
After firefighters extinguished the blaze, they
contacted the State Fire
Marshal’s office. Deputy
Fire
Marshall,
B.J.
Robinson joined GVFD officers and Gassaway Police
Chief, William Alderman at
the scene on Thursday to
continue the investigation
into the cause of the sus-
picious fire.. The State
Fire Marshal’s office has
termed the origin of the
blaze as arson. Video surveillance and eye witnesses reports described a
male seen leaving the
structure shortly before
the blaze was detected.
Authorities are asking
anyone with information
pertaining to the fire to
contact Chief Alderman at
304-364-5111.
Fire Department rep-
resentatives stated that
the structure belonged to
Shawn Radcliff and was
occupied by Lou BruceMowery. No one was at
home at the time the fire
broke out.
Twenty-five volunteers and five fire apparatus were responsible for
what authorities termed “a
great save.” The nearby
structures received only
minimal damage. No injuries were reported.
Rob Pecora presented Mrs. Adams a special plaque
commemorating her distinguished teaching career in
front of the student body on the last day of class.
Flatwoods Elementary
Principal ends 39 year
career in education
By Erica Whitney
Barbara Allen Adams,
principal of Flatwoods Elementary will conclude a
long career in education
on June 30, 2010 when
she retires. Adams has
been an educator for over
39 years. She has chosen
to retire now because of
health problems. “I did not
plan on retiring now, but
God has other plans for
me,” said Adams. Even
though she will be leaving
her full-time job she will
still have plenty to keep
her busy. “I will stay actively involved in education, volunteer when I am
needed, continue my public service work. I would
like to travel, but most importantly enjoy life” she
stated.
Barbara is from
Gassaway. She is the only
child of the late William
and Marie Tucker. She
graduated from Gassaway
High School then earned
her Elementary Education
degree from Glenville
State College. Mrs. Adams
furthered her education by
attending West Virginia
University and received
her masters’ in Elementary Education and Educational Administration.
She is married to Mike
Adams, who is also retiring
from the Department of
Highways this year.
Adams taught 6th and 7th
grade at Gassaway Middle
School for 20 years. She
then spent the next 3
years as a teacher at Braxton County Middle School.
“I think it is important to
educate every child.
Sometimes as a teacher
you have to go back and reevaluate your methods to
make sure that you reach
every individual student.
Because in the end that is
what is important-the
child,” said Adams “One of
the most positive changes
over the years to education
has come through technology. There is so much that

Great job Eagles...
By Ed Given
Memories of Mrs. Adams…
I attended the retirement reception for
Barbara Adams this week. It was great to visit
with her and help her celebrate her retirement. I
believe it is only fitting that I see her educational career through to the end. After all… I was
there when she began it. She’s probably not going
to like this, but let me tell you about Barbara’s early
days in education.
It was at Davis Elementary when we were
both 5 years old. Barbara Tucker and I were in
the same first grade class.
A career in education wasn’t exactly at the
top of Barbara’s priority list back then. Barbara
didn’t like our teacher. While that’s not uncommon, then or now, Barbara’s way of dealing with
the situation was a bit extreme. Each day, just as
soon as the bell would ring, Barbara would begin
crying. Not just a little sobbing mind you. She
would really cry. The teacher tried different
techniques to deal with her problem student. If
she ignored Barbara, she would simply turn up
the volume on the crying until the disruption to
the rest of the class and allowed Barbara to
achieve her goal… go home. Every day for the
first month or so of school, Barbara would cry
until the teacher called her mother to come get
her. The drama finally stopped when Mrs. Tucker
brought Barbara to school and didn’t leave. In just
a couple of days Barbara became a “normal”
student.
She was extremely bright, even at that
young age, and she got along well with her classmates. However, I doubt that any of us would
have predicted that Barbara “Tucker” Adams
would spend her adult life as an educator. She
was passionate then and that characteristic is
probably the biggest single contributor to her
success as a classroom teacher and principal.
She not only worked hard and devoted herself to
her student’s learning; she was an advocate for
literally thousands of her children over those 39
years. When things occurred that she felt was not
in her student’s best interest she wasted no time
trying to right that wrong. Most of the time… the
end result was predictable.
Barbara and I talked about the early days of
her education last Wednesday. I ask her what
she would have done if she encountered a student that behaved as she did those many years
ago. In true Mrs. Adams fashion, she didn’t have
an immediate answer, but she admitted that she
whould not tolerate such behavior in her classroom.
The educational system will miss dedicated
professionals like Barbara Adams. She and others who have left the Braxton County educational
system leave big shoes to fill. However, the good
news is... Barbara Adams touched the lives of
thousands of our children and grand children.
Some of them will follow in her footsteps. If they
devote the next 39 years trying to immolate the
passion that Barbara brought to her profession,
our the next generation of students will probably
be OK. That’s a legacy that people like Barbara
Adams leave.
To my childhood and adult life’s friend, I
wish you the very best Barbara. You certainly
have earned it.

Dear Editor;
Congratulations to
the boys baseball team
for bringing home the
county’s first state
championship in any
sport. We as a county
really have
something to be proud
of in what they accomplished.
We also have a
great deal to be proud of
in the fact that these
young men worked so
hard and got what they
deserved. One would
think that the only
team to bring us home
a state championship
would have a field they
could call their own...
sadly this is not the
case.
Holly Gray Park
has been the home of
the Eagles baseball
team for as long as I
can remember. Though
the members of the
park board have always
been gracious enough
to allow the high school
games to be played
there, it doesn’t belong
to the BOE. Games
cannot be played there
after dark, Ruts in new

There has yet to be
a state title brought
home by the football,
softball, volleyball or
either basketball team
but all of them have a
place to play and call
their own. All of our kids
deserve a place to call
their own to play on.
Isn’t this especially true

According to the
Journal of the American
Dietetic Association foods
advertised on television
tend to be high in saturated fat, high in cholesterol, high in salt and low
in nutrients that protect
against disease. Michael
Mink states that “The
public should be informed
about the nature and extent of the bias in televised food advertisements.”
A study published in
the journal Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers and
Prevention states that U.
S. cigarette brands expose
people to higher amounts
of cancer-causing tobacco-specific
nitrosamines than foreign
cigarettes. Nitrosamines
are a carcinogen.
The British Dental
Association states that
people who brush their
teeth less than twice a
day were 70 percent more
likely to develop heart disease. Not brushing twice
a day increases bacteria
in the mouth which
causes
inflammation
which plays a key role in
the buildup of clogged arteries. You should brush
your teeth for the length
of time it takes to sing
one verse of ‘Row, row, row

In a recent news release the West Virginia
Division of Natural Resources (WVDNR) reminds people to “leave
young wildlife alone.”
Each spring as the woods
and trees green up many
wildlife species give
birth.
The forests
around us abound with
new life during this time
of the year.
It can be rough for
the little guys trying to
survive out there in the
wild. There are numerous predators as well as
unpredictable weather to
deal with. During wet
springs grouse and turkey broods can suffer due
to poor nesting conditions. Research has
shown that cold and wet
weather during the nesting season and shortly
after hatching can have
negative implications for
nest success and poulty
survival.
We as humans are
also another intruder
and the WVDNR recommends that you “look,
but do not touch or disturb” young wildlife. I
had a rare encounter two
weeks ago here in Braxton County with a huge
sow that unfortunately
had a tiny cub with her.
Exactly the situation you
want to avoid.
Luckily I was on an
ATV making my rounds
on the farm. As I was
nearing the top of the
ridge I immediately saw
a big bear running up the
hill. I also saw something shoot up a tree not
40 yards away. I kept
watching the big bear
and when it got to the top
of the ridge it stopped,
puffed up and was glaring
at me.
I then heard a commotion in the tree and
looked as a tiny cub
popped its head around
and looked at me. The
sow was still on top of the
ridge checking the wind
and popping her teeth.
The ole’ sow really didn’t
like me being there and
I didn’t like having the
cub between me and her.
The cub then scampered
down the tree and hit the
ground and waddled up
the hill towards the sow.
I took this opportunity to leave the two
alone and head on my
way. As I rounded the
ridge I noticed several
limbs lying on the ground
and figured out why the
bears were there. There
were 3 cherry trees that
were plum loaded with
fresh ripe cherries and
that ole sow had been all
over them.
It was a neat encounter for sure and it’s
as close to a sow with
cubs as I ever care to be.
The WVDNR recently put
out another news release reminding residents that it’s illegal to
put out feed for black
bears in the state of WV.
In most instances it can
even result in death for
the bear as they become
a nuisance.
“A fed bear is a dead
bear” is a common
phrase used by numerous wildlife agencies all
over the country. So
don’t feed the bears and
if you’re putting feed out
for deer during hunting
season and a bear starts
using it, you are not allowed to shoot that particular bear because you
are hunting over bait according to West Virginia
state law.
The WVDNR receives numerous phone
calls every year about
abandon fawns. Most of
the time they aren’t
abandoned at all and
they’re just lying motionless as it’s their defense
mechanism.
While the adult doe is off
feeding, fawns remain
bedded until the mother
returns. Their spot pattern and coloration helps
keep them concealed as
they remain still when a
threat comes along.
Another neat thing
about fawns is they have
no scent. The lack of
scent is another defense
mechanism that makes
them difficult to detect
for predators. All fawns
should be left undisturbed as the doe knows
exactly where they’re at
and will return.
I saw my first fawn
of the year on June 7. As
I rounded the turn on a
Braxton County backroad
I hit the brakes as a
fawn was in the middle
of the road. I stopped and
watched as the little guy
went to the edge of the
road and laid down in the
tall grass. I just so happen to have my camera
with me and got it out as
I eased up to where the
fawn was. I was able to
snap a couple quick pictures of the fawn before
moving on to leave it
alone. The fawn did just
what it was suppose to do
and remained motionless until the coast was
clear.

This week’s recipe is
for your Fourth of July parties!
Red, White and Blueberry Cheesecake Pie
8 sheets (about 13" x14"
each) thawed frozen phyllo
dough (find it in the freezer
section of the supermarket)
1/4 cup melted butter or
margarine 16 oz. cream
cheese 1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 eggs 2 cups fresh blueberries, divided 1/2 cup strawberry
jelly
1 cup whipped cream or
non-dairy whipped topping
(optional)
Preheat
oven
to
425°.F.
For
Crust
Grease a 9" pie plate. Set
aside.
On a flat surface place
1 sheet phyllo (keep remaining phyllo covered to
prevent drying out), brush
with melted butter. Top with
another phyllo sheet, continue to make 8 layers,
brushing butter between
each layer. Using kitchen
scissors or a sharp kinfe, cut
the layers into one 12-13
inch circle. Carefully press
circle into the prepared pie
TRUTH OR TRADITION?
Believing A Lie #1
If I honestly and sincerely believe a thing to be true, does
that make it true?
There’s Nothing In A Name. “It really makes no difference what name you wear in religion. A rose by any
other name smells just as sweet.” Truth or Tradition?
What does The Bible say?
Salvation In A Name. Speaking of Christ, Peter said:
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved.” (Acts 4:12). Is salvation not found only in
the name of Christ? Why wear a name in which there is
no salvation? Why not just wear the name Christian?
That’s a name that honors Christ, the author of salvation.
God’s Family Named. “For this cause I bow my knees unto
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole
family in heaven and earth is named.” (Eph. 3:14-15). Is
God’s family not named for Christ? Children wear their
family name. The name “Christian”
means “of, or
belonging to Christ.” Shouldn’t all God’s children wear
His family name, which Paul says is Jesus Christ?
The Bride Of Christ. The church is pictured in The Bible
as the Bride of Christ. Jesus spoke a number of parables
which speaks of the time when the Lord returns to claim
the church, His Bride. Sometimes for business reasons
a bride may keep her maiden name, but in most cases a
bride is honored to wear the name of her husband.
Shouldn’t the church be honored to wear the name of
Christ, to the exclusion of all other names?
The Father’s Name. “Nevertheless the foundation of God
standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them
that are his.” (2 Tim. 2:19). How does the Lord know?
Can He not know by the name they are wearing? And I
looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with
him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s
name written in their foreheads.” (Rev. 14:1). Of course we
understand that to be figurative language, but the point
is valid. What if they are wearing some other name?
Why Another Name? Why not wear just the name of
Christ? Why show honor and respect to a person, a
doctrine, or a practice? Do we need names that denominate and divide? There were no denominational
names in the first century. At that time a person was
either a pagan, a Jew, or a Christian. What kind of
Christian? There were no kinds in the beginning. Can
we not go back to the way it was in the beginning?

PAT’S CHAT
I am
repeating
this
request for
those who
m i g h t
h a v e
missed it,
since the
other paper
failed to put my news into
its paper. Hopefully they
will have room for this one:
Margret Willey asked me to
include this in the Chat
regarding her mother:
Ressie B. Wilson’s birthday
is June 19. She will be
96. Anyone who wishes to
send her a card, send it to
P.O. Box 462, Burnsville,
WV 26335. (At 96, she deserves at least 96 cards,
like Helen Wine hopefully
got 80 cards on her 80 th
birthday recently.
I
thought that was a reasonable request from her
daughter, Carol Wine
Bucklew, on Facebook!)
Bill McKnight has reserved the back room at
the 79’er Restaurant for
the Burnsville High
School Class of ’51 for 6:00
p.m. on Saturday, May
28 th , 2011 for our 60 th
class reunion. If you were
a part of that class at any
point in your school years
from first grade to graduation, you are a member
of it no matter how brief
the time you were with us
and no matter if you
graduated from another
school or didn’t graduate at
all. Just let us know your
current address so that we
can send information early
in 2011 relating to any of
our planned activities.
(Send it to me, Pat Ridpath,
at 42 ½ South Florida
Street, Buckhannon, WV
26335
or
email
to
patschat.ridpath41@gmail.com
or call me at 304-4725102.) Let’s make this reunion one that we can
truly celebrate!
Let’s
make memories!
There
are so few of us in this
area.
Rosemary Riffle
Crutchfield is just now
home from the hospital
and rehab center in
Morgantown. If you have
any ideas for this special
reunion, please let us
know early, so we can include them in our plans, if
possible. I hope to see you
in May of 2011!!
You still have a couple
of days to get the $100 discount off the $250 registration fee for the Brushy Fork
Christian School year,
2010 – 2011. Time runs
out for the discount on
June 30th. Call me at 304472-5102 or the school at
304-472-0962 and leave a
message if no one answers
at either number.
I am so proud of the
Braxton County High
School Eagles 2010 Baseball team!! They are Class
AA State Champions, the
first time ever state championship. Way to go,
Braxton County!
Bernard Blake of
Burnsville died on June
2. He was a WWII veteran, recipient of a
Purple Heart. It is sad to
realize that so many of
our WWII heroes are no
longer with us. (Makes
me realize how old I am.)
I extend my sympathy to
Mr. Blake’s family and
friends.
BY PAT RIDPATH
A creative movie has
stirred up interest in creation in Europe. It is unusual for such a film to
draw such crowds. Hundreds had to be turned
away because of overcrowding; even standing
room was limited. It is 75
minutes of celebration of
creation as depicted in the
Bible. Filmmaker Henry
Stober is a Seventh-day
Adventist. The movie is
reported to be “highly entertaining [with its] mix of
scientific evidence for creation, breathtaking nature
scenes, and stunningly
beautiful instrumental
music [which was] written
by an Adventist composer
Dominic Buchner.” (Reported
by
Sigrun
Schumacher, ASI Europe
newsletter editor; translated and edited by Chantal
J. Klingbeil and Adventist
World magazine staff, June
2010 issue. The film is
Creation—The Earth Is a Witness. It is shown on panoramic screens. I looked at
the
site
(http://
www.dieschoepfung.eu/ and
was able to see a sample of
the beautiful shots and film
sequences. The German language was a mystery, but
there are se v e n s e t s o f
scenes picturing what I
think is a representation
what might have been
seen on each day of creation. The musical accompaniment is beautiful. I think you will love
these. I hope someday
the film is put into English, or dubbed and made
available to us in the
United States.
Maranatha!

Braxton County Memorial Hospital
celebrates National Hospital Week
A Circus Theme this
year provided local hospital employees with the perfect opportunity to ‘Clown
Around’ a bit.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, employees of all
ages...” was the phrase
used throughout the week
of May 17 - 21 st to announce various activities
coordinated by members
of the BCMH Employee Activities Committee during
National Hospital Week
celebrations. This week is
observed annually and
provides a perfect opportunity for local hospital employees to break away
from their normal routines and participate in
fun-filled events with
their co-workers. Employees gathered primarily in
the ‘Big Top’, otherwise
known as the hospital
multi-purpose room, for
friendly yet intense competitions. Laughter and
amazement dominated
the atmosphere at BCMH
as staff ‘clowned around’
during the week-long festivities. Special appreciation is extended to the
BCMH Employee Activities
Committee for their dedication in coordinating
this annual celebration,
which always includes delicious food, hilarious frolics and great fun for participants as well as spectators. Special thanks
also to the following organizations for their generous contributions to
the Capital Campaign
Drawing which was incorporated in the Hospital Week celebrations
this year: Boss 97, Café
Cimino, Carl Walker’s
Drug
Store,
Legg’s
Beauty Salon, Lost Road
Candles, Sherry Ratliff,
Red Rooster Café, Rite Aid
Pharmacies, and Visions
Restaurant.

Braxton County, WV
Farm Service Agency begin’s county committee election process
FSA’s county committee election process
begins today. Steven C.
Nestor, Acting Executive
Director of USDA’s local
Farm Service Agency office reminded agricultural producers that they
can now nominate eligible candidates to serve
on the Braxton-Clay
County
Committee.
Nominations can be filed
between June 15 and
August 2, 2010. Elections are held in the fall.
The local Farm Service Agency’s (FSA) Agricultural Office is administratively overseen by a
locally elected farmer
committee. The BraxtonClay County FSA Committee is currently composed
of
Donald
Burroughs, Chairperson;
Debbie Hamric, ViceChairperson;
Gary
Wolford, Roy Metheney
and Chilton Nichols,
regular members. The
committee
persons
serve the agricultural
segment of Braxton and
Clay Counties as representatives from five (5)
FSA local Administrative
Areas (LAA’s) with each
member being elected
for a three (3) year term
on a rotational basis.
This year, Braxton
County will be holding
an election for a person
to represent LAA3. That
position is currently held
by Donald Burroughs.
LAA3 coincides with
Braxton County’s Holly/
Salt Lick Magisterial
Districts. In Clay County
Otter/Henry Districts.
“Participation from
farmers and ranchers is
essential to the election
process to ensure that
FSA county committees
represent the interests
of all producers in our
area,” said Mr. Nestor. “I
encourage agricultural
producers throughout
Braxton and Clay County
to nominate eligible candidates of their choice,
especially socially disadvantaged farmers and
ranchers, minorities
and women, to serve on
their local county committees.”
Farmers and ranchers who serve on county
committees help make
decisions necessary to
administer federal farm
programs offered in their
communities. They help
ensure that FSA programs serve the needs of
local producers. County
committees make decisions on important agricultural issues such as
commodity price support
loans and payments, conservation programs, incentive, indemnity and
disaster programs, emergency programs and employing county executive
directors.
Agricultural producers who participate or
cooperate in programs
administered by FSA
may be nominated for
cadency. Additionally,
producers must live in
the local administrative area (LAA) conducting an election for
that year. Farmers can
obtain a complete list
of eligibility requirements by visiting a local USDA Service Center or online at:
www.fsa.usda.gov/
elections.
Individuals may
nominate themselves
or others as candidates. Additionally, organizations representing minorities and
women may nominate
candidates. To become
a nominee, eligible individuals must sign
nomination form FSA669A. The form includes a statement that
the nominee agrees to
serve if elected.
Farmers
and
ranchers should keep
these important dates
in mind during the
2010 county committee election process.
The nomination period
begins June 15. August 2 is the deadline
to file nomination
forms at the local
Gassaway USDA Service Center. USDA will
mail ballots to eligible
voters by November 5.
The last day to return
voted ballots to the
Gassaway USDA Service Center is December 6. Newly elected
county
committee
members take office
January 1, 2011.
For more information about FSA county
committees or to obtain a nomination
form (FSA-669A), visit
the Braxton-Clay FSA
Office at 1336 State
Street, Gassaway or

• High School
Reporting Braxton County’s sports action
Celebration held for Eagles’ state champion baseball team
“As I watched
these guys play this season, I witnessed enthusiasm and a willingness
to work to improve that I
truly admired. These
young men had a few
rough games, but they
never failed to bounce
back and do whatever it
took to win the next
game. I also watched
their coaches with their
dedication and their
knowledge of baseball as
they brought the boys
back from their lows,”
Braxton County High
Athletic Director Lynn
Stalnaker told a crowd of
250 or more fans last
Tuesday night. Gathered in the bleachers at
the football field, people
of all ages came to honor
the 2010 West Virginia
AA baseball champions.
Stalnaker continued
with other compliments
for the team, coach Bill
Morlan (who was absent
because of a previous
commitment), and assistant coach Bronlynn
Morlan.
Next to speak, the
Eagles’ assistant coach
provided a brief history of
the season, including
what she termed the
“season low and turning
point” a doubleheader
loss to Calhoun County.
Morlan explained that
her husband and head
coach decided “it was
time for the players to
change their ‘pick your-
self up’ attitude to ‘pick
each other up’ and to believe in the team” instead of themselves individually. The idea,
Morlan, said, “took root
that day” and although
the team “struggled
through the LKC tournament,” the coaches “noticed a change in attitudes and a belief in
their team that was
more intense and purposeful.” She continued
by saying, “The rest as
they say is now history;
the boys have captured
their . . . . dream of being the AA state baseball
champs.”
The coach also reminded the crowd that
the team “knew [they]
Senior Jeremiah Ramsey presented James Lambert, principal of BCHS with the AA
State Championship trophy.
More than 250 fans packed the stands on Tuesday night to show their appreciation to
the baseball team for all their dedication this season.
BCHS Athletic Director Lynn Stalnaker spoke to the
crowd.
should play as champions to honor the memory
of a true champion in
life, Micah Ramsey.”
She emphasized that
Micah, who died from
bone cancer, “would
have been in that outfield this year and he
would have been the first
one to catch Coach Bill’s
vision of today and this
celebration.” Micah was,
she said, “a true inspiration
of
courage,
strength, and faith.”
Assistant
coach
Bronlynn Morlan took
time to thank many.
She began with a thank
you “to God ‘for giving us
the abilities, heart, mind
and soul to play this
game’ as Jared [Harper]
“reminded the team “at
each team pre-game
prayer.”
She also
thanked
the
fans,
especially the “die-hard
fans,” and all those who
provided support through
financial and other
means. Morlan ended by
introducing each member of the team.
The celebration
concluded with the
team’s presentation of
their trophies to the
principals of Braxton
County High.
Ristie
Nicholas presented the
Sectional Tournament
plaque to assistant principal
Joe
Keckley.
Principal Dawn Dooley
received the Regional
Tournament trophy from
Stacy Jirles. Senior
Jeremiah Ramsey on
behalf of the team
presented the AA State
Championship trophy to
recently retired James
Lambert, who served as
principal through the
seniors’ four years of
baseball. The team and
the crowd learned that
work will soon begin on
a special display for the
team photograph and
their awards.
Following the formal
part of the evening,
many of those attending
stayed to talk to the players, who, one fan described
as
“fine young men who
truly
deserve this
honor.”
Assistant coach Bronlynn Morlan listening to Lynn Stalnaker with the Eagles’
baseball team at the celebration.

What can canning do for me?
Canning is a very effective way of preserving fruits
and vegetables from your
home gardens and local farmers’ markets for use throughout the year. Preserving food
can help you save money, eat
more nutritious meals, and
better control what goes into
the foods you are consuming.
Canning foods can also save
you time in the long run.
You’ve heard the term “Go
Green”. You can “Go Green”
by growing and preserving
your own fruits and vegetables so that the demand is
reduced for these products
shipped from foreign countries and long distances,
thereby reducing the use of
fossil fuels and decreasing
pollution. The canning process can be very simple, but
safety measures must be followed to prevent the growth
of Clostridium botulinum,
which causes Botulism. Re-
member to: Get your dialgauge pressure canner
tested every year-we do this
free at the WVU-Extension
Service office; All low acid
foods(most vegetables) need
to be processed in a pressure
canner; Always use USDA endorsed or approved recipesThe National Center for
Home Food Preservation and
So Easy To Preserve publication offered by the UGA Extension Service are reliable
sources. Recipes passed
down for generations may not
meet new safety guidelines;
and Check your equipmentJars, lids and screw bands
should be examined for defects before use. Lids cannot
be reused.
Contact the Braxton
County Extension Service at
(304) 765-2809 if you would
like more information and/
or would like to attend a food
preservation workshop.
