Sheriff’s Department
investigation leads to
arrest of identity thief
An investigation by
the Braxton County
Sheriff’s Department has
ended what authorities
believe is a run of felony
crimes, including identity
theft, which have span
seven years.
Chief Deputy David
Doak received a call on
Thursday, February 21
from Detective Michael W.
Wheat of the Charlevoix
County Sheriff’s Department in Michigan. The
Lieutenant told Chief
Doak that he had information that a felon, wanted
in their jurisdiction, might
be in the Duck area. The
officer identified the person of interest as Jewel
Elizabeth Browe, age 60,
who had utilized a stolen
identity to purchase a
motorcycle and was believed to have stolen
money from several
sources. The detective
informed the local officer
that Browe had been
known to utilize the alias
of Jacqueline Habel
Poirer and had a North
Dakota operator’s license
in that name.
Chief Doak, along
with Trooper J. D. Jordan, Deputies Scarbro
and Alderman traveled to
the southern end of
Braxton County to
search for Browe. The officers could not locate the
suspect, however they
did recover the 2006
Harley Davidson and several other items. Doak
also obtained information
that led him to believe
that Browe, who had utilized her alias in Braxton
County, had traveled to
Newbert, Maryland.
On Friday, the
county resident who had
unknowingly befriended
Browe, notified Deputy
Doak that she had received a call from Browe
indicating that she
would not be returning
to Braxton County as
planned.
Chief Doak’s investigation uncovered the
name of the individual
Browe was believed to be
associating with in Maryland. The officer notified
the Charles County
Sheriff’s office in Newberg
of the information on Saturday. Chief Doak received a call from Maryland authorities on Monday confirming that
Browe had been arrested.
Lt. Wheat stated that the
arrest brings an end to a
lenghty investigation and
a series of crimes that is
believed to span at least
7 years.

I-79 crash claims KY youths
A single vehicle accident last Friday, March 8
tragically took the lives of
two Kentucky youths. According to Senior Trooper
L.D. Mohr of the Sutton
Detachment of the West
Virginia State Police Amy
King lost control of the late
model Chevrolet Tahoe she
was driving, went over an
embankment into the median.
The accident occurred at the 50.5 mile
marker just south of the
Frametown Exit of I-79 at
approximately 1:30 p.m.
According to the officer,
King stated that she overcorrected when she drove
off the left side of the roadway while traveling north.
Both deceased children
were ejected from the vehicle.

ported four additional occupants to Braxton
County Memorial Hospital
with what was believed to
be non –life threating injuries.
Jon King, age 14 and
Micheala White, age 12,
were both pronounced
dead at the scene by
Braxton County Coroner
Bob Stalnaker. Amy King,
her daughters Amaya King
and Deja Birchfield, and
her grandmother Cyndie
King were taken to BCMH.
No additional information
regarding their condition
has been released.
According to the investigating officer, Amy
King was issued citations
for failure to drive with
due care and no seatbelt.
Trooper First Class
J.D. Jordan assisted in the
investigation.
The
Frametown, Gassaway
and Servia Fire Departments responded to the
accident.
Children’s book author visits
Frametown Elementary School
By Shirley Shuman
On Monday, March 4,
Frametown Elementary
students were treated to a
visit from West Virginia
writer Cheryl Ware, author of several children’s
books. Ware, a state native
and former professor at
Alderson Broaddus College, spent the day with
the students and the
evening with students and
their parents. Since 1988,
the writer has conducted
workshops to teach creative writing and to help
art, music, technology and
regular-classroom teachers to “create multi-genre,
multi-media digital stories.” As a National Writing Project training coach,
Ware tours West Virginia
to encourage “family literacy and storytelling.”
The author of Flea
Circus Summer, which recounts the fascinating adventures of Venola Mae
Cutright, and other
equally delightful books,
approached the students
in two different venues.
First, she did whole-group
presentations to kindergarten through second
graders and then with
third through sixth-grade
students. In the group presentations, Ware told the
students about her childhood and her family. She
also talked about her
books, including her only
picture book—-Roberta
Price Has Head Lice!—in
which children “can learn
about bullying and [dealing with] head lice in a
non-threatening, humor-
ous manner.”
Following the presentations, Ware visited individual third, fourth, fifth,
and sixth-grade classrooms. Here she provided
students with tips to improve their writing. To begin, she asked each student to write about a personal experience. From
that point, Ware showed
students “how to use more
descriptive language and
details in their writing.”
Third-grade teacher
Lauri Spencer said that
the visiting writer “did a
great job of giving our kids
ideas that they could use
to improve their writing.”
Continuing, Spencer explained, “One of the techniques she used was asking leading questions to
empower them. They loved
it!”
Ware
continued
these sessions by allowing
each student to use a microphone to read his/her
work to classmates. Marcy
Cheryl Ware, author of several children’s books,
discusses one of her works recently with a classroom
of students at Frametown Elementary School.
SEUSSICAL, Jr.
extended at Landmark
The Landmark Players have announce that
an additional performance has been scheduled for SEUSSICAL,
Jr., the family fun-filled
musical celebration of
Dr. Seuss. The play was
originally scheduled and
performed the first two
weekends in March as
part of the commemorative activities surrounding Dr. Seuss’s birthday.
Thanks to an enthusiastic public response,
three of the four performances were sold out.
According to director, Sally Stewart, “The
cast and crew of our
production are very ap-
Skeens, Title I teacher at
FES, was highly enthusiastic about Ware’s work
with the students. “These
sessions were extremely
helpful to the students
and the teachers alike,”
Skeens commented. Laura
Allen, who teaches fourth
grade, echoed Spencer’s
and Skeens’ positive reactions to Ware’s work with
their students. “It was exactly what we needed—
getting students to include
more details.” She added,
“I was impressed that she
was able to get them to
write more descriptively.
She had a way of talking
them through step-by-step
that was effective.”
Marilyn Hosey, a
Frametown fifth grader,
also appeared impressed
with Ware’s approach.
She explained, “She [Ware]
worked with each of us
personally. She helped me
revise a paragraph to be
more specific. I had
[merely] made a state-
preciative of the strong
community support we
have received. We regret that some of the
people that wanted to
see the show were unable to be accommodated, due to the limited
seating of the theater.
However, we hope that
by adding an additional
performance date, those
individuals can return
and enjoy the show.”
The encore performance will be Friday,
March 15 at 7PM. Reservations are strongly
encouraged and can be
made by calling the reservation number at 304644-3166.
ment, but she gave me an
idea to help me add details
that supported that idea
and made the whole paragraph funny.” The student
said she had written about
a song she had learned in
4-H camp. A youngster
with definite goals, Hosey
is currently “writing a
book,” and her goal is “to
finish it by the twelfth
grade.” Her writing skills
are evident as she recently won first place in the
county in the WV Young
Writers’ Contest for
fourth, fifth, and sixth
grades.
The evening presentation, titled “Rhymes,
Riddles, and Arithmetic,”
involved students and
their families in “an informative and fun evening.”
For this session, Ware
asked those present to
compose rhymes and create art to add to the book,
Ten Black Dots.” She then
led them into writing silly
rhymes to add to “There
was an old lady who swallowed….,” using environmental print from grocery
stores. The last part of this
exercise included “putting
the artwork inside [the old
lady’s] tummy.”
Still another part of
the enjoyable evening
session was “writing descriptive-paragraph
riddles about what is under the snow.” Just as in
the earlier individual
classroom sessions, students were invited to use
a microphone “to share

From the Desk of....
A Legislative visit…
The West Virginia Press Association hosted its’
annual Legislative Breakfast last Thursday at the
Marriott Hotel in Charleston. Allison was sick and
Jeanine decided to stay at home and care for the
grandchildren, so I made the trip alone.
I arrived late Wednesday afternoon. After I
checked in to the hotel, I met fellow WVPA Foundation board member Mike Myers of Wheeling and
several other members of the WVPA Board in the
lobby. We boarded shuttles and were taken to the
Governor’s Mansion for a reception. We spend about
two hours discussing several topics with the Governor in an informal setting as well as just socializing.
It was very productive.
Next morning, the breakfast kicked off at 7:30
a.m. Brent Boggs introduced me to several of his
colleagues before we sat down to eat. Tim Armstead
joined us at our table as well.
Senate President Jeff Kessler was first to
speak. Republican Senator Mike Hall followed.
House Speaker Rick Thompson was next to take the
podium. Tim Armstead offered the Republican
rebuttal although I really wouldn’t call it that. All
those who spoke talked of common ground and our
state’s needs. It certainly was a good time to discuss
issues with those who were in attendance. Probably
the best part was… not a dime of taxpayer money
was involved.
Secretary of State Natalie Tennant was also in
attendance. After the breakfast, Natalie came over
to me and said she had received the letter I wrote
her in September about the legal advertisement not
being properly run for the Sheriff’s succession
amendment . She said she had tried to call me to
discuss the letter. We realized that she was probably calling after our regular business hours and I
don’t use an answering machine here at the office.
Of course the amendment did not pass, so the
principals of the argument are no longer relevant.
However, I am pleased that she got the letter and
attempted to discuss the issue with me, even if we
didn’t manage to get together at the time. I also
expressed my appreciation of her going out of her
way to explain the circumstances.
There was one aspect of the breakfast that I
didn’t like. I guess it is a product of our ever changing world of communications. Our Executive Director Don Smith said at the beginning of the program
that the event was being streamed on twitter. I’m
not exactly sure what that means, but I assumed
the event was being broadcast on the internet live.
That in its-self is not an issue. But as the speakers
were addressing the audience, I noticed that well
over half of the press representatives and elected
officials were staring at their phones or typing a
tweet about the event. I guess I am too old school
for this type of situation, but I couldn’t help but
think it was very rude to basically ignore our speakers who had volunteered their time to come and
share their thoughts with us. Even if these folks were
listening while they fiddled with the phones, it was
still very impolite. I realize this is the latest trend, but
I think it is rude, as are things like talking on your cell
phone during a meeting or dinner; or walking through
the grocery store, talking on the phone when you
should be paying attention. Unfortunately, that is just
the tip of the iceberg. I enjoyed the legislative breakfast, but I don’t think I will ever get used to or approve
of this type of social behavior.

Hemlock Woolly Adelgid...
This small insect is
wreaking havoc on West
Virginias hemlock populations and its spreading
into more counties every
year. The Hemlock Woolly
Adelgid is native to Asia
and is believed to have
been brought to the US
via a shipping crate in
1924. Since then, it has
established populations
from the Smoky Mountains north to southern
New England and is having devastating affects on
the eastern hemlock
stands.
The Adelgid attach
themselves at the base of
the needles and suck the
sap from the young twigs
which retards or prevents
the tree from having new
growth. In result the
needles turn from there
normal dark green color,
to a drab grayish green
color. Eventually the
needles fall off and the defoliation caused by these
pests will result in the
trees dying within three
to five years.
The best way to tell
if there is an infestation
of Hemlock Woolly Adelgid
is to look on the underside of twigs, and egg
masses appear as very
small cotton balls. The
white cottony sacs are
present throughout the
year, but are more prominent in the early spring.
The adelgids are inside
the cottony sacs and feed
during all seasons, with
the greatest damage occurring in the spring
when the hemlocks are
putting out new growth.
Humans play a role
in transporting this insect
into new areas. Since WV
provides ample outdoor
recreation, we need to be
careful not to relocate
these pesky little critters.
As more people camp and
hike in infested areas the
adelgid can get on camping gear, vehicles, and
even clothing to hitch a
ride to a new location.
Wind, birds, and other
mammals also disperse
these insects.
The Eastern Panhandle in West Virginia
has been hit extra hard
and numerous dead hemlocks are present since
the insect has been there
longer than the rest of the
state. The first infestations discovered in WV
were found in Grant,
Pendleton, Hardy, and
Hampshire Counties in
1992. Currently hemlock
woolly adelgid is present
in 42 of the 55 counties
in West Virginia.
There are only 13
counties that hemlock
woolly adelgid hasn’t
been found. Hancock,
Brooke, Ohio, Marshall,
Wetzel,
Pleasants,
Doddridge,
Ritchie,
Gilmer, Calhoun, Jackson, Mason, and Putnam
counties haven’t had any
adelgid documented for
now. These western
counties lack large hemlock populations and
what hemlock trees that
are found there are in
small stands and yard
trees.
These insects, as
stated before, are small
and you will need a hand
lens or magnifying glass
to see the actual adelgid.
The problem with adelgid
and other invasive insect
species is that there are
no natural predators,
fungus, or diseases to
keep the populations in
balance.
The WVDA began
treating hemlock trees in
2004 to highly visible
hemlocks in state parks
and
state
forests
throughout infested areas in the state. They’ve
continued treatments as
the adelgid keeps spreading westward into new
counties. So far, the
hemlock trees that have
been treated are looking
much better and free of
adelgid.
Last year, the WVDA
was the first state in the
country to start a Hemlock
Woolly Adelgid Cooperative Pilot Project for land-

Nearing the halfway point
of the 2013 Regular Session,
work continues under the
dome in Charleston. All major
and minor committees are
filling their agendas daily,
while this week concludes the
Finance Committee budget
hearings in the House and
Senate. The information
gleaned from these hearings
will have a bearing in the final
budget numbers in April.
As of last Friday, March
8, a total of 887 bills have
been introduced in the House
of Delegates; ninety-seven of
those currently are pending in
the Finance Committee. In the
Senate, 492 bills have been
introduced and referred to
their respective committees.
Early this week, a bill
sponsored by me, Speaker
Thompson, Finance Chairman
White and several others,
including area delegates Adam
Young (Nicholas) and Dana
Lynch (Webster) will address
the volunteer firefighter
workers comp premium issue.
A bill is also in the works in
the Senate. This is one of the
most important issues we will
address this session.
House bills coming up for
passage through midweek in
the House of Delegates include the following bills:
• HB 2361 - Relating to the
definition of “eligible veteran”
for certain state training and
employment preference benefits
• Com. Sub. for HB 2553 Authorizing the Secretary of
State to administratively

• Com. Sub. for HB 2554 Providing a procedure for the
Secretary of State to reinstate

Legislative Session beg a n F e b r u a r y 1 3 th i n
Charleston and, as always, there is a lot of
important legislation
being introduced. I am
excited to serve my first
legislative session as a
West Virginia Senator
and plan to sponsor and
support legislation that
will not only better the
counties of Harrison,
Lewis, Braxton, Clay,
and Gilmer, but also the
state of West Virginia as
a whole.
When
Governor
Earl Ray Tomblin gave
his State of the State Address; he focused on
many topics including
the budget, job creation,
education, and substance abuse. I stand
behind
Governor
Tomblin and his reform
ideas on many of these
topics and was happy to
hear that he presented
a balanced budget to
the WV Legislature that
did not cut any scholarship programs, Medicaid, or State Police
funds.
Education is going
to be a particularly important topic during this
year’s session. After the
Governor’s Education
Audit, many West Virginia citizens, including
lawmakers, have become concerned with
the quality of education
our children are receiving. I, along with my fellow lawmakers, will be
working hard to find solutions to correct and
improve our current
education system to ensure all elementary and
secondary education
students have the tools
they need to find success and to continue on
to higher education if
they so choose.
One of the bills I’ve
introduced proposes a
sion to temporarily fill vacancies in certain offices
• Com. Sub. for HB 2414 Conveying property to a
nonprofit
• HB 2729 - Allowing schools
to voluntarily maintain and
use epinephrine auto-injectors
• Com. Sub. for HB 2747 Relating to Open Governmental Proceedings
All work is being done
while with a watchful eye
toward the legislative calendar
which dictates certain deadlines for each body to consider
legislation.
After Day 30, the House
Rules Committee begins to
direct the legislative calendar.
Active bills are placed on the
Special Calendar; inactive or
bills that may need time to
sync with moving Senate bills
are placed on the House
Calendar.
The 41st Day - March 25
- is the last day to introduce
bills in the Senate and the
House. (This does not apply to
originating, supplementary
appropriation bills, or resolutions).
At the end of this month,
the 47th day, all bills must be
reported out of committee in
their originating house to
ensure three full days for
readings prior to passage.
Day 50 - April 3 - is the
last day to pass bills out of the
house in which they originated. Again, this does not
apply to supplementary
appropriation bills or the state
budget bill.
salary increase for public school teachers who
are certified in math and
science fields in grades
seven through 12, and
for teachers who specialize in reading. I
think providing quality
teachers is an important
step to improving our
education system, and,
in order to attract the
best teachers to West
Virginia, we must provide competitive salary
increases.
The Senate has also
passed a resolution that
has created a Committee on Children and Poverty. The committee will
be comprised of 11 senators, five of which are
chairs of major committees including Finance,
Education, Judiciary,
Health and Agriculture.
This committee will help
to tackle serious issues
youth from low-income
families in West Virginia
are facing.
Additionally, the
Governor addressed substance abuse and articulated the importance of a
drug-free workplace.
Supporting our law enforcement to eliminate
drug use in our state and
helping them by providing
them with the tools they
need to keep the citizens
of West Virginia safe is a
priority for the Governor
and I fully support his efforts.
As the Legislative
Session continues, I expect much progress and
improvements for West
Virginia.
To write me, my address is Senator Sam
Cann, State Capitol,
Building 1, Room 218W, Charleston, WV
25305. You can also call
me at 304-357-7904. I
encourage all of my constituents to contact me
with any questions or
concerns.
Day 60 – April 13 – is the
final day of the regular session. Constitutionally, the
session ends at midnight,
unless extended by the Governor.
One question I’m often
asked is why the Legislature
waits to pass the budget at the
expiration of the regular 60
day session. The answer is
that it’s not for lack of finishing
our work in a timely manner
but one of fiscal necessity.
That’s because we cannot
complete the final version of
the budget until we assess the
fiscal costs associated with
legislation that passed during
the regular session. This must
be factored in so that any
revenue generated by or costs
attached to legislation passed
is calculated into the budget
estimates provided by the
Governor and the budget bill.
While it may seem cumbersome, it is a big factor in
why we pass a balanced
budget each year and how our
state finances and services
remain among the most stable
in the nation without any
income tax increases for over a
decade and still cutting consumer and business taxes.
Finally, West Virginia lost

35mm film projector.
This will soon end as the
film industry has been
slowly converting from
35 mm to digital movie
prints. Digital movies
will require a special
digital projector that the
movie industry has approved.
For the Cineplex

not a big deal, but to theatres like the Elk, it is
devastating. The cost to
convert to digital is approximately $30,000.
The Elk Theatre is rare

costs affordable so all

Since buying the theatre

counties. This area of the
state was chosen as the
hemlock trees aren’t too
far gone yet to treat.
The treatments are
applied through the soil by
tablets. The tree uptakes
the chemical and when the
adelgids suck the sap they
get a mouth full of the
chemical in the process.
The only problem with the
chemical treatments is
they are costly and trees
need to be retreated every
four to five years. It will
be really a task to treat
every tree in the forest, but
if nothing is done the hemlocks future is looking grim
to say the least.
The decline of hemlock trees will have devastating effects on many
shade tolerant plant species. Hemlocks provide
ample shade and without
them plants that require
shade will suffer. Another risk that has me
concerned is the warming
of our trout waters. Scientists are worried that
eliminating the shade will
cause the water temperature to rise and could
hurt trout populations
and habitat. Trout are
coldwater fish and raising
the temperature only a
couple degrees could
have a negative impact
Since 2005 the
adelgid has progressed
westward and 20 new
counties have been added
to the list as infested. It
was first documented in
Braxton County in 2006.
I hate to be a Debby
downer, but the fate of our
hemlocks is looking bleak.
The Hemlock Woolly
Adelgid could potentially
wipe out our hemlock
trees and is a serious invasive insect species that
unfortunately also calls
West Virginia home.

‘New Frontier’ public
health is an attempt to
change consumer behavior such as the New York
City’s ban on super-sized
sodas. According to a
survey published by the
journal Health Affairs the
government has a role in
preventing childhood
obesity, helping smokers
quit and heading off
chronic diseases. There
is broad support for the
CDC in helping prevent
cancer, heart disease,
obesity, reducing tobacco
use and reducing alcohol
use. When it comes to the
government using coercive policies or punitive
issues in pursuit of these
goals there is not a lot of
support. Most people are
opposed to allow health
insurance companies to
charge a penalty to
people who are obese.
Most people do not want
schools to measure the
BMI of school students.
As we head into the
season of fresh fruits and
veggies remember that
one half of all food poisonings are attributed to
produce. For example
melons
should
be
scrubbed under cold running water before they
are sliced to prevent bacteria on the outside of the
skin being carried inside
with the first cut of the
knife. Remember always
wash produce to help
eliminate bacteria. Be
sure to wash your hands
after washing the produce and then clean the
area that was used to
prevent cross contamination.
Are you still dieting?
Here are some pointers to
help you maintain healthy
eating habits through the
year. 1. If you have it you
will eat it so clean the cupboards. 2. Stock the cupboards with healthy stuff.
3. Plan meals. 4. Put the
veggies/fruit at eye level
in the fridge. 5. Eliminate
sugary drinks. 6. Remember the diary you still need
calcium. 7. Keep a journal. 8. Never miss breakfast. 9. Exercise. 10. Portion, portion, portion to
control calories.

really gave relief from the
carpal tunnel pain,” she
said.
Steiger was careful to
explain the different modalities of therapeutic
massage. “The first level—
or modality is the Swedish
level,” she commented.
“That’s where the therapist does a light massage
to begin, and that’s the
time we feel the congestion
deeper in the tissues,” she
added. From there, the
second modality—the deep
tissue massage, begins.
“Of course we go as deep
as the client wants us to
go, and, to relieve muscle
pain the deep tissue massage is almost essential,”
she explained, adding
“The last modality is the
trigger-point massage.
Here, and only if the client
wants it, we concentrate
on ‘knots’ and other painful spots.”
Steiger emphasized
here, “Clients definitely
have a voice in their massage. I am very careful to
go over that with all new
clients because I feel that
is highly important.”
The massage therapists are available Monday
through Friday from 10
a.m. until 5 p.m. or later
by special appointment.
They both also accept clients by special appointment on Saturday and
Sunday. “We try to help
people out, and we realize
that often they cannot
make it here during the
week,” Steiger said. Each
therapist has her own
room equipped with a
massage table and other
necessary materials.
The fee for one hour
of massage is $50. Those
who want a shorter mas-
sage—perhaps, for example, just on their shoulder, may opt for a 30minute treatment, which
costs $25. They also offer
an “ongoing military special,” which gives anyone
currently in military service, including the National Guard, and all veterans, a rate of $25 an
hour. Their work is covered by most major insurers.
Whether an individual feels a need for
soothing relaxation or suffers from stress-induced
muscle pain, Amanda
Steiger and Mary Ellen
Smith do offer a solution—
a therapeutic massage.

Therapeutic massage offers
relief from stress and pain
By Shirley Shuman
Tucked behind the
building generally referred to as “the bowling
alley” sits a small structure housing two separate
businesses providing the
same basic service—
therapeutic massage.
Amanda Steiger and Mary
Ellen Smith, both of whom
graduated from Mountain
State School of Massage,
each has her own practice
and clientele. The name of
Steiger’s business is West
Virginia Massage therapy,
while Smith’s is Mountain
Massage. Their partnership has been in operation
since July 2011 although
Smith has been practicing
since 2008.
Trained to do therapeutic massage, both
studied anatomy and
physiology, kinesiology,
and pathology along with
completing extensive practice required before they
received their licenses. To
maintain a license, a certified massage therapist
must take 24 hours of additional study every two
years for license renewal.
The classes they take,
Steiger explained, “keep
us up on new techniques
and deepen the level of
knowledge we already
have.”
The therapeutic massage offers relief for many
different physical—and
even sometimes emotional, problems, Steiger
noted. “The symptoms actually indicate the benefit a client may receive,”
she said, adding “If someone has a headache, a
therapeutic massage will
usually relieve it.” Asked
about possible relief of migraines, she responded,
“Massage does help relieve
migraines.” She added, “A
therapeutic massage can
also definitely relieve both
emotional and physical
stress.”
Smith added that the
therapeutic massage “really offers relief for
fibromyalgia sufferers as
well as other chronic pain
sufferers.” She also told of
treating clients suffering
from sciatica. “I have had
people who had pretty severe sciatic pain, and I was
able to help them,” she
said, adding “However, I
cannot provide relief for
sciatic pain if it is caused
by a pinched nerve.”
Both massage therapists explained that their
massages “will relieve sore
muscles, stiff neck, and
symptoms of arthritis.”
Smith was careful to say
here that, of course, massage therapy cannot cure
arthritis; “it just relieves
some of the pain.” Steiger
added relief for the pain of
carpal tunnel syndrome to
their list. “I’ve had patients for whom massage

Hello, Everyone!
I
hope this
finds you
well and
that you
have enjoyed this
beautiful weekend!
Let’s hope the weather
stays like this!
Daylight Savings
Time began at 12:00
am on Sunday. Do
you agree with it? We
all know that it messes
with our sleep pattern
and takes a little while
for many of us to adjust.
Did you know that states
are not required by the
federal government to
observe Daylight Savings Time? Germany was
first to adopt the changes to save coal for the
war effort. In 1918 the
United States federal law
standardized the beginning and ending time of
DST for those states that
chose to use it. During
World War II it was made
mandatory and for three
years it was the national
standard time. Since
the end of the war, it
has been optional for all
states. During the 70’s
it was believed that DST
saved energy, however,
recent studies show that
actual energy consumption rises during DST
due to the use of air
conditioning more on
long summer days. I
personally wish our
state would just leave
the time one way! I enjoy the longer daylight
hours but getting used
to it takes a few days.
Birthdays this
week are:

This week’s recipe
TRUTH OR TRADITION?
Where Is Heaven?
Where Is Heaven? Luke’s account of the gospel
ends with Christ’s ascension back to His Father: “And
it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted
from them, and carried up into heaven” (Luke 24:51).
The Acts of the Apostles begins where the gospel leaves
off: “And when he had spoken these things while they
beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him
out of their sight” (Acts 1:9). In both accounts, Jesus
was taken UP. So Heaven is up, right? Where was
Jesus when this event took place? On the other side
of the world from us. So, from our position, when He
went back to the Father, He went down. So where
is Heaven? Does it really matter? Can Heaven be
confined to one particular location?
How Can We Know? Jesus had met with His
disciples in an upper room to observe the Passover
for the last time, to establish the Lord’s Supper, and
to further prepare them for His departure back to
the Father. Among the things He said to them that
evening were these comforting words: “I go to prepare
a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself;
that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I
go ye know, and the way ye know” (John 4:2-4). You
know where I am going and you know the way! But:
“Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither
thou goest; and how can we know the way?” (John
14:5).
The Way To Heaven. In answer to that question,
Jesus replies: “I am the way the truth, and the life: no
man cometh unto the Father but by me” (Luke14:6).
That’s why Jeremiah said in the long ago: “O Lord, I
know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not
in man that walketh to direct his steps” (Jeremiah
10:23). Since we don’t even know where Heaven is,
there’s no way we could know the way.
An Unknown Destination. God called Abram
to leave his home in Ur of the Chaldees and journey
to a new land: “Now the Lord had said unto Abram,
Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred,
and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will
shew thee” (Genesis 12:1). Abram left his home that
morning with no map, nor GPS, but they would have
been useless anyway, because he had no idea where
he was going. God said He would show him the way,
and Abram believed God. God became his GPS.
Our GPS. Like Abraham, the Christian is on
a journey to an unknown destination, but Jesus is
The Way, and The Bible is our GPS. Not only does it
highlight the way and tell us when and where to turn,
it also does “recalculating”. When we make a wrong
turn, it directs us back to the strait and narrow way
that leads to Glory. So, we don’t really need to know
where Heaven is. Our Glory Positioning System (The
Bible) will lead us to Glory, if we will but learn and
follow its instructions.

BURNSVILLE NEWS
I
started
my spring
cleaning
this past
Thursday
evening.
It was a
wonderful weekend to hang
curtains, rugs, & comforters on the line. The
windows were open
to receive some much
needed fresh air. Out
with the old and in with
the new! The bluebirds
are back. Butch has
been constructing some
new bluebird boxes.
You can do that kind
of stuff when you are
retired. HAHA. He installed a couple more
over the weekend. He
has one saved especially for McKenzie to
paint. She loves watching birds with her Pap.
Jennifer McPherson, Karla & McKenzie
Conrad met in Huntington on Saturday and attended the WSAZ Home
& Garden Show. They
all had a wonderful
time. McKenzie enjoyed
the petting zoo. She got
to hold a bunny rabbit
which she said was very
soft like her cat, Zoe.
Even the Easter Bunny
was there to hand out
treats to the little ones!

rode her little bike just
behind her. It is also a
good place to meet folks
you know or meet those
you don’t know. I saw
my neighbors with their
toddler in a stroller and
we talked to the Korean
Veteran who was the one
who folded the flag and
said the prayer at the
military part of my husband’s memorial service.
It was great fun being
outside. I think everyone
we met there was smiling.
The following is an
excerpt from something
that came across the
internet to my email. It
might be helpful to you:
“Put your car keys
beside your bed at night.
“Tell your spouse,
your children, your neighbors, your parents, your
Dr’s office, the check-out
girl at the market, everyone you run across. Put
your car keys beside your
bed at night.
“If you hear a noise
outside your home or
someone trying to get in
your house, just press
the panic button for your
car. The alarm will be
set off, and the horn will
continue to sound until
either you turn it off or
the car battery dies.
“It’s a security alarm
system that you probably already have and
requires no installation.
Test it. It will go off from
most everywhere inside
your house and will keep
honking until your battery runs down or until
you reset it with the button on the key fob chain.
It works if you park in
your driveway or garage.
“If your car alarm
goes off when someone
is trying to break into
your house, odds are
the burglar/rapist won’t
stick around. After a few
seconds, all the neighbors
will be looking out their
windows to see who is out
there and sure enough the
criminal won’t want that.
And remember to carry
your keys while walking
to your car in a parking
lot. The alarm can work
the same way there. This
is something that should
really be shared with
everyone. Maybe it could
save a life.
“My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he
carry his car keys with
him in case he falls outside and she doesn’t hear
him. He can activate the
car alarm and then she’ll
know there’s a problem.”

Hospital employee recognition
Jennifer Markle, RN,
was selected as Artist of
the Month for January
2013.
Receiving two nominations for this award,
Jennifer is described as
someone who ‘always
goes out of her way and
makes time to help’. A
physician expressed his
appreciation for the care
she gave a patient, which
involved her staying late
in the evening to administer antibiotics. He
wrote, “She went above
the call of duty and did
a great job helping him
and keeping him comfortable.” Another patient recently approached one of
Jennifer’s coworkers outside the facility to express
his gratitude for the care
he receives from Jennifer
in the Outpatient Nursing
Department. This patient
continued to praise our
local hospital, even so far
as to note his intent to
volunteer at BCMH upon
retirement. The nominator wrote, “This particular ‘positive comment’
started with Jennifer.”
Following the presentation of the award
by Administrator, Ben
Vincent, Jennifer humbly commented, “Even
though Ben said I spoil
my patients, I feel like
I’m only doing my job.
I like working at BCMH

Belknap along with
Field Site Coordinator
Debbie Burgess and
chaperone Shelly Facemire.
Since 1996, Braxton County HSTA has
reached out to 9th
-12th grade under-represented students to
support them through
high school and college and follow them
to professional school
to ultimately help prepare them for a career
in the health sciences.
The goals
of the program
continue to be
to increase the
college going
rate among
under-represented students in West
Virginia; to
improve science and math
education;
to empower
communities through
leadership development of
their youth;
and ultimately, to increase
the number
of health care
providers in
West Virginia’s currently
under served
rural communities.
Ninetyseven percent
of HSTA students attend
college and
ninety-four
percent graduate from college.
What is HSTA?
West Virginia University has
established a seamless approach
to health sciences education
which shepherds talented minority
and underrepresented students
through pre-college, college,
and graduate training in health
sciences programs. The Health
Sciences and Technology Academy
of West Virginia University
(WVU) is a 9th-12th grade math
and science program which
encourages aspirations, opens
doors, and empowers minority
and rural communities. This
partnership among the numerous
units of the state’s land grant
university and many Appalachian
communities brings minority
and teachers to campus each
summer for clinic, laboratory, and
classroom training and activities.
The partnership then provides
the infrastructure and support
for community-based science
projects mentored by teachers,
health professions, students and
volunteer community leaders
during the school year.
Program Goals & Activities
• Improve Science, Math & Leadership
Skills of High School Students
• Increase the number of underrepresented individuals who
successfully pursue careers in Health
Sciences
• Improve collaboration to share
resources and expertise

High School Wrestlers end season with annual banquet
Braxton County High
was the setting last Sunday for the end-of-the
season wrestling banquet
attended by the wrestlers,
their parents and fans.
Following the meal, coaches Sterling Beane and
Doug Smailes presented
several awards.
All wrestlers received
individual trophies for
their contributions to the
team. During the presentation of these awards,
Coach Beane summarized
the wrestlers’ attributes,
and Coach Smailes gave
out the trophies.
The two began with
the ninth-grade wrestlers
and proceeded through
the seniors.
A total of ten wres-
tlers received special
awards.
The first award,
Rookie of the Year, went
to senior David Malcomb,
who, in his first season
of wrestling, came up
with a 25-17 record. Andrew Fleming received the
second award, Most Improved. Fleming, a sophomore, had a season record
of 24-22.
The title of Most Dependable went to Brandon
Raynor. Here Coach Beane
commented on Raynor’s
faithful attendance at
practice and his work
ethic. Earning a similar
award, Most Dedicated,
was Lee Helmick. Coach
Beane told of Helmick’s
loyalty to the team.
The title of Toughest was awarded to Jacob
Helmick, who the coach
said had battled different
types of injury and adversity to continue wrestling.
His 36 pins during the
past season gave Bryson
Dennison the right to the
Most Pins trophy.
Two wrestlers--James Acord and Ricky
Hammon received what
Coach Beane titled
Coaching awards. Here
the coach commended the
two young men for their
attitude and their desire
to help others, coaches as
well as teammates.
An award dedicated
to former Braxton County
wrestler Fred Asbury,
now deceased, was presented by his mother,
May Asbury. This award,
presented annually to the
wrestler who possesses
the most attributes associated with the “ideal”
wrestler, went to Thorn
Simon. With 45 wins,
Simon was second on the
team in that area.

Coaches and fans honor Middle School wrestlers
Parents and other
family members, along
with several fans,
joined the Knights’
wrestling coaches
to honor the middle school team last
Thursday evening at
the school. Following
the meal, coaches Tim
Harris, James King
and Doug Vincent presented several awards
to the wrestlers, who
accomplished something that no other
BCMS wrestling team
had accomplished--winning the conference championship.
Following the
meal, the coaches began by bringing the
wrestlers to the front
by grades and presenting each of them with
an individual trophy
and a medal recognizing his part in the
conference championship. Here, each
wrestler was not only
recognized by name
but also introduced
by comments about
his or her individual
contributions.
Next, wrestlers
who had achieved a
GPA between 3.0 and
3.69 were recognized
as being on the WV-
Mat Honor Roll. After
that, the WV-Mat AllState Academic wrestlers received certificates. These individuals, who maintained
a GPA between 3.7
and a perfect 4.0, included Seth Backus,
Luke Bonnett, Luke
Campbell, Dylan Dennison, Hunter Drake,
K.C. Hoard, Justin
Hudnall, Jody Law-
son, Gavin Triplett,
and Gage Vincent.
Coach King pointed
out, “Twenty of our 22
wrestlers made either
the Honor Roll or Academic All-State.”

WV0115754
The Division of Water and Waste
Management is proposing to
issue a General WV/NPDES
Water Pollution Control Permit
to regulate the discharge of
wastewater from water treatment and swimming pool facilities. The General Permit
will authorize the operation and
maintenance of establishments
engaged in potable water treatment, swimming pools and the
direct or indirect discharge of
wastewater to the waters of the
State. It is proposed that this
General Permit be issued for a
five (5) year term. The majority
of the facilities to be permitted
under this General Permit are
existing dischargers. The water
treatment and swimming pool
establishments covered under
this general Permit are assigned
specific numeric effluent limits
based on water quality standards. In accordance with 60
CSR 3.7, Tier 2 antidegradation reviews are not required
for these facilities. Coverage
under this general permit will
require the utilization of minimum treatment technologies
that should result in an overall
benefit to public health and the
welfare of the environment from
an improvement in water quality.
Any new facilities wishing to be
covered under this general Permit are required to comply with
antidegradation requirements.
In order to comply with these
requirements, treatment must
be implemented and in place
prior to any discharge and these
new facilities are sent to public
notice. This office requires the
appropriate treatment train layout be submitted with the new
applications and reviewed prior
to the issuance of individual
registrations under the permit.
With this reissuance of the general permit, it is also proposed
to add language allowing for
the land application of filtrate
removed from the WTP settling
basins. This proposal is accordance with the requirements
of Legislative Rule Title 33,
Series 9.
The Director of the Division of
Water and Waste Management
retains authority to require any
owner/operator to apply for and
obtain an individual WV/NPDES
Permit. This authority will be
exercised when the Director
determines that such individual
permit will better protect the
receiving water.
The Draft Permit and Fact Sheet
may be inspected by appointment between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00
p.m., Monday through Friday at
the Department of Environmental
Protection, Division of Water and
