Smoking ban here to stay Mayor: ‘It’s time for us to move on’ By Duane Carpenter Staff Writer BUCKHANNON — The smoking ban debate is officially over — at least for now — according to Buckhannon mayor Kenny Davidson. After hearing citizens speak both for and against the ban during city council’s meeting Tuesday night, Davidson said he

is still strongly is in support of the smoking ban ordinance and it will not to be touched at this time. “I said that at the last meeting that if people wanted to comment about this ordinance, now was their chance, and many people did,” Davidson said. “What I heard was that most people were in support of the ordinance as written. With that, I am going to put an end to this debate and it’s

time for us to move on.” The ordinance, which went into effect May 4, prohibits smoking and the use of all other tobacco products in all city-owned parks and recreational facilities. The decision to not enforce the part of the ordinance that prohibits smoking and tobacco usage at this year’s West Virginia Strawberry Festival is still in effect.

At the last city council meeting, Davidson directed Buckhannon Police Chief Matt Gregory and his department to not enforce the article of the smoking ban ordinance that prohibits smoking and tobacco use at fairs and festivals, feeling the city might have gone too far in that regard with the ordinance.

Strawberry Festival Coronation

By Amanda Hayes Senior Staff Writer BUCKHANNON — Next year’s school calendar will look a lot like this year’s calendar — very traditional. The Upshur County Board of Education approved the 2013-2013 calendar that received the “overwhelming” majority of votes from school employees, according to superintendent Scott Lampinen. Of the 416 votes cast by school employees, 205 were in favor of the traditional calendar versus the balanced calendar and having the first semester over before Christmas options. The first day of school will be Aug. 22, 2013 and the last day will be June 6, 2014. Lampinen said legislation at the state level regarding the school calendar had been deferred from implementation this year. However, Lampinen said that the school system would continue discussion at the next board meeting on what the new calendar law looks like and how it will affect future years.

West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant crowns McComas during Wednesday’s coronation at Wesley Chapel.

QUEEN

BUCKHANNON — The strawberry red carpet was rolled out Wednesday to welcome West Virginia Strawberry Festival royalty and guests. The official welcome was delivered at the opening ceremonies held at noon at the Upshur County Courthouse. State and local officials then joined festival royalty for the coronation of Queen Hannah McComas and King Steve Butler in the evening. New Commissioner of Agriculture

Walt Helmick crowned Butler while McComas was crowned by Secretary of State Natalie Tennant. Both Tennant and Helmick acknowledged the West Virginia Strawberry Festival as the beginning of the fairs and festival season in the Mountain State. In an interview before the coronation, Helmick said, “Next weekend we will have the Woodchoppers Festival in Webster County and the following week we will have one in Monroe County.” “This one here is the one that has always kicked it off,” he said. “I’ve been

involved with it for 21 years. This is the first year that I have represented the state as Commissioner of Agriculture.” “I want to emphasize that it is important to West Virginia,” he said. “These type of functions do a significant amount of good for our economy. “It brings people together that otherwise would not get to visit. It’s a pleasure to me and certainly an honor to be a part of the festivities here.” Helmick also addressed the budget cut for fairs and festivals.

BUCKHANNON — Motorists in Buckhannon can officially say hello to the four-way stops and goodbye to the traffic signals at two intersections on Main Street. Buckhannon City Council approved by a 4-2 vote to permanently retain the four-way stop signs at the intersections of Main and Spring streets and Main and Florida streets. Council made their decision after a six-month trial period of the four-way stops. City recorder Rich Clemens and councilman Thomas O’Neill, Dave Thomas and John Waltz voted yes to retain the four-way stop signs, while councilman Ron Pugh and councilwoman Pam Cuppari voted no. Pugh said he has received more comments against the four-way stops than for it. Jerry Arnold, street commissioner and waste department supervisor, told council that it was his opinion that a lot of the complaints stem not from the four-way stops, but confusion at the intersection of Main Street and Kanawha Street. “The biggest problem that we have is the third light,”Arnold said. Davidson and Cuppari both noted that motorists want to treat that intersection as a four-way stop as well. Council made a motion to call for a study at the intersection of Main Street and Kanawha Street, which was approved unanimously.

COMMUNITY COLUMN

Vicksburg News Hello and happy Strawberry Festival to you all! What more could you ask for? Beautiful weather and a week of parades, music (of all kinds), wonderful exhibits, dancing, singing and food for every taste, celebrating the strawberry in beautiful Buckhannon. We welcome you, and invite you join us in each event. Also we welcome you to worship at the church of your choice. We pray you take only good memories when you leave and come again soon. God bless. First, I want to wish a belated happy 75th wedding anniversary to Denzil and Ida Waugh. I know Linda won’t mind if I use her tribute: A beautiful picture on Facebook with the couple and a big cake had these words. “My parents are celebrating 75 years of marriage, with two children ( Linda (Waugh) Vaught and Jerry Waugh.) They were blessed with six grandchildren and countless friends and memories because of one choice, to love each other forever.� (No one could say it better and what a wonderful couple. Congratulations with love and prayers, to this family.) I hope Linda is feeling much better after coming down with a stomach virus that was no fun and she lost several pounds in the process.

Bob said: “I’ve seen lots of them, I sang in a choral group at the 1939 festival at the end of my first year in college. My kids were all involved, flower girls, etc. I sang a solo at three coronations and delivered three babies that became Strawberry Queen. My wife wasn’t in any Strawberry Festivals but was a princess in the Forest Festival.� Bob was also musing about the changes that have happened in downtown since 1949. There were at least three jewelry

stores, three hardware stores, two banks, two shoe stores, three clothing stores where you could also buy shoes, several dress shops and three drug stores. There were filling stations everywhere, five on Main Street alone plus the Triangle and another across the street. Now there are five banks, five pharmacies (counting Wal-Mart and Kroger), one jewelry store, no hardware, no shoe store or clothing store, no filling stations just self-serve pumps and corner stores. Out in the county there were little stores everywhere, with two in Queens and two in Ellamore. These are some of the big changes from the past. You may think of other changes. Thanks Bob, I remember most of these changes. Next, I want to say hello to two new friends, Ruby Grandinette and Arron Heck. Arron called last week asking about the bakery that I had written about in the column awhile back (which has closed). Then she said they looked for the column and picture each Friday and enjoyed them. Thank you so much. It’s nice people like you that keep me writing. God bless. Next, I want to thank Bob and Betsy Reger for sharing their latest trip attending the Springfest in Ocean City, Md. Bob said, “The weather was chilly and breezy with temps in the 50s but we had a good time in spite of the weather. Our favorite band, Rick K & the Allnighters were great as usual. We saw three of their indoor shows. They were slated to be in Buckhannon at the Moose Lodge for the Strawberry Festival Queen’s Ball. Their leader

She came to visit last week bearing gifts, a big healthy lilac (my favorite flower) bush, that I will set out and enjoy for the rest of my days. And several shirts of all different colors that I will enjoy the rest of summer. I couldn’t love you more if you were my daughter, Susie.

Barbra Byrd taught a good lesson from 2 Peter, The focus: Continue to grow in your faith. We had special Mother’s Day song by Richard Norman. Pastor Don,

talked about mothers and how we miss them and others that have left us. 2 Peter, 1: 3 (According as His divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue.) God is our strength, open your heart and listen to His word. Please keep the many that are on the sick list our military and country in prayer. God bless. Thank you to the person that put the beautiful long stem red rose on my car, windshield, it was deeply appreciated. There are times it seems when all you hear, is something negative about our city and county. So I ask a good friend Bill, to share his opinion on both the negative and positive happening in our county. Bill wrote: First of all what makes any community is the people and for the most part Upshur County citizens, are hard working, honest and kind. Of course there are some that are just the opposite but the good, well out number the bad. Second, there has been so much controversy over the elected officials and I agree there have been some stupid decisions made, but these

are people that were elected, if you didn’t take the time to vote, don’t complain, and remember this at next election. To make a long story short no place is perfect. Upshur County is a community that has kind people who will help each other. This is called good neighbors and you won’t find that in big cities. I moved to Upshur County many years ago, I work here and have no desire to live anywhere else. Our county and town are not perfect but I know of no place that is. Bottom line, I am proud to call this town my home. (Thanks Bill, you said it well!) Time to thank you all for comments and suggestions, appreciate your interest. I want to apologize to William Wimer. He gave me a great picture of the Strawberry Festival from 1939. We couldn’t copy with the frame and the picture had been matted, so I didn’t feel comfortable destroying the frame to get picture out and couldn’t get hold of William. So here is one of Howard Hiner’s pictures from Danny Green. Thank you. Have a wonderful time at the 2013 Strawberry Festival! My love and prayers are with you. Stay healthy and happy.

Cruciferous vegetable intake improves survival in women with breast cancer At the recent American Association for Cancer Research annual meeting, new evidence highlighted the importance of cruciferous vegetables for breast cancer protection. The cruciferous vegetable family includes broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collard greens, cauliflower, and kale, among other vegetables that are all related to cabbage. The cruciferous family is unique among vegetables because of their glucosinolate content — glucosinolates give cruciferous vegetables their characteristic spicy or bitter tastes; upon blending, chopping, or chewing, glucosinolates are converted to isothiocyanates (ITCs) — compounds with potent anti-cancer effects, including: Anti-inflammatory effects — ITCs have been found to decrease the secretion of inflammatory molecules. Anti-angiogenic effects — isothiocyanates can inhibit the

development of new blood vessels to limit tumor growth. Detoxification of carcinogens. Preventing damage to DNA that may lead to cancer. Stopping cell division in cells whose DNA has been damaged. Promoting cell death in cancerous cells. Anti-estrogenic activity — Exposure to estrogen is known to increase breast cancer risk; ITCs have been shown to inhibit the expression of estrogenresponsive genes. Shifting hormone metabolism — Eating cruciferous vegetables regularly helps the body to shift hormone metabolism,

reducing the cancer-promoting potency of estrogen and other hormones. After eating cruciferous vegetables, women have measurable isothiocyanates in their breast tissue, and women who eat more cruciferous vegetables are less likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer: In a recent Chinese study, women who regularly ate one serving per day of cruciferous vegetables had a 50 percent reduced risk of breast cancer. A 17 percent decrease in breast cancer risk was found in a European study for consuming cruciferous vegetables at least once a week. What about women who already have cancer? Is it too late for cruciferous vegetables to improve their prognosis? Childhood and adolescence are the most crucial times for environmental stimuli to affect breast cancer risk, but changes made during adulthood and even after diagnosis still have

the potential to create positive changes in the body. A recent study kept track of cruciferous vegetable intake in Chinese women with breast cancer for the first 3 years after diagnosis, and followed the women for a total of 5 years. They found that the more cruciferous vegetables women ate, the less likely they were to experience breast cancer recurrence or die from breast cancer. When the women were grouped into four groups (quartiles) based on cruciferous vegetable consumption, women in the highest quartile had a 62 percent decrease in risk of death and 35 percent reduced risk of recurrence compared to the lowest quartile. This is not the first study to find a link between cruciferous vegetables and reduced risk of breast cancer recurrence. In the Women’s Healthy Eating and Living (WHEL) study, breast cancer survivors who reported higher cruciferous and total

The more you chop before cooking (or chew if you are eating the vegetables raw), the better.

Suspect in killing of Mingo Co. sheriff arraigned By LAWRENCE MESSINA Associated Press HUNTINGTON (AP) — A man accused of gunning down a county sheriff in West Virginia was arraigned Wednesday on firstdegree murder and other charges and plans to seek bail ahead of a possible Oct. 21 trial date. With Mingo County Sheriff Eugene Crum’s widow, Rosie, staring intently from the courtroom’s front row, Tennis Melvin Maynard answered a handful of questions from Circuit Judge Paul Farrell during the six-minute hearing. Defense lawyer Richard Weston entered not-guilty pleas on behalf of the 37-year-old. Maynard is accused of fatally shooting Crum on April 3 in a downtown Williamson parking lot, as the sheriff ate lunch in his police cruiser. Investigators say that after a brief vehicle chase, Maynard pulled a gun on a pursuing deputy who then shot and wounded the suspect. Still recovering from those injuries, Maynard wore hospital garments along with shackles in the Cabell County courtroom. While Farrell presides in that circuit, the Supreme Court has appointed him to preside over the Mingo County case. The two sides are expected to weigh whether an impartial jury can be selected there. “I believe the defendant can have a fair trial in Mingo County,” its elected prosecutor, Michael Sparks, said after Wednesday’s arraignment. Weston, assigned along with Glen Conway as defense counsel,

DELTA

said Maynard had been in the hospital up until the hearing. He was taken afterward to the Western Regional Jail pending a bond hearing scheduled for June 17 in Huntington. A Mingo County grand jury indicted Maynard last month on the murder count along with attempted first-degree murder and fleeing. Investigators have not discussed a possible motive behind the killing. Maynard’s father has said his son has mental health issues and was exposed to harmful chemicals and injured while working at an Alabama coal mine. “We’re just starting to investigate,” Weston said of the defense’s emerging plans following the arraignment. Crum, 59, had been a Mingo County magistrate for more than a decade when he stepped down to run successfully for sheriff last year. Even before he took that office in January, Crum had begun targeting drug problems in the county that mostly involve abused prescription pain pills. Sparks on Wednesday echoed his earlier assessment that the sheriff’s slaying does not appear related to that crackdown, which included waves of raids and grand jury indictments. Rosie Crum has been appointed interim sheriff with elections for the office slated in 2014. She attended the hearing along with others from the sheriff’s department. A few people appeared in the courtroom on behalf of Maynard, including a man who identified himself as his brother but declined further comment.

They were chosen by magazine staff from more than 5,000 entries submitted by nearly 1,000 photographers. The requirement was that each photo capture a moment of West Virginia life on a single day, September 15, 2012. “As we began to look at the photographs, we were awed by their beauty and breadth,” said Clayton Spangler, the magazine’s photography editor. “Some photographers captured the ordinary goings-on of hometown life. For others, it seemed our request had become a personal quest, as they traveled the state from one end to the other in search of special images. In the end, there were far more outstanding ones than we had room for in this issue. Deciding which ones to publish was very difficult.” The cover for this special issue was chosen by the public from among entries narrowed down to four by magazine staff. The winner is a delightful photograph of young cousins Drew and Lyla Davis, taken at 5:04 p.m. by their grandfather, Roger Davis of Parkersburg, at the Butcher Family Farm in Washington, Wood County.

New sporting clays facility opening month at Canaan Valley Resort DAVIS — A new sporting clays five stand clay target field is set to open in West Virginia at Canaan Valley Resort State Park during Memorial Day weekend. “The sport of trap shooting is popular and this provides another outdoor activity that visitors and guests at Canaan Valley Resort can enjoy,” said Frank Jezioro, director of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. A ribbon cutting is scheduled for Friday, May 17, at 11 a.m. This event is open to the public.

Attendees will have the opportunity to shoot and experience sporting clays. The shooting field is located in the Canaan Valley Tube Park area. The location creates a multi-use complex that can be enjoyed seasonally for two different recreational uses. The area is also adjacent to the Canaan Valley Resort Ski area. The ceremony will be conducted at the clays field. Refreshments will follow at the “warming hut” used in winter season for tube park rentals and during the warm season for sporting clays.

Attendees are encouraged to call Lisa Ratliff at 304-866-4121 ext. 92680 if planning to attend so refreshments and field equipment can be prepared, or email dnr.parks@wv.gov, subject line: Sporting Clays. The Canaan Valley shooting facility is a five stand, clay target field. Shooters fire five rounds from a shotgun from each shooting position for a total 25 shots in an individual round. The trap can be set for an easy repetitive bird flight path for beginning shooters, or

on automatic/wobble for more advanced shooters. The launcher fires birds (clay discs) in a variety of angles and heights. The trap resets itself automatically after each shot so the shooter is never sure which flight path the bird will take. Canaan Valley State Park is accessed from State Route 32. To learn more about Canaan Valley Resort, accommodations, camping, golf, and four-season outdoor recreation in Tucker County, W.Va., visit www.canaanresort.com.

TODAY IN HISTORY * In 1792, the New York Stock Exchange had its origins as a group of brokers met under a tree on Wall Street. * In 1933, U.S. News & World Report had its beginnings as David Lawrence began publishing a weekly newspaper called United States News. * In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, unanimously struck down racially segregated public schools. * In 1973, a special committee convened by the U.S. Senate began its televised hearings into the Watergate scandal.

According to a recent article on the front page of the Inter-Mountain (Monday May 6th) Melissa Toothman a staff writer for the paper reported on the Council’s stance to assure “equal employment rights” regardless of sexual orientation. Council member John Waltz led the effort with the support of the other members. The report said the resolution came following contact by Fairness West Virginia (a pro gay rights organization) along with “other” organizations in the state that petitioned municipalities for support through resolutions addressing “orientation discrimination in the work place.” According to the report he was also approached by students and employees at WVWC who were asking for council’s support on the matter as well. The article went further to say that the council not only endorsed the recommendation from Fairness West Virginia and others at WVWC along with “other organizations” (whoever these others are we do not know), but also were going to petition the State leaders to do the same (who by the way voted down recent attempts) adding this addition to our already sufficient discrimination laws, simply opening a wider and unnecessary avenue for the growing support for gay rights, under the guise of equal rights. Be assured although groups like Buckhannon City Council may mean well, the agenda of groups like Fairness West Virginia and the “other organizations” and a small minority of “others” that are presently being formed within our proud state have much more in mind. Sadly many do not see the bigger picture, not only here in the Mountain State, but especially since the last election which launched a more forward movement to this cause (speaking of gay-rights), including an open endorsement by the President and other liberal minded persons in places of power and authority. Sadly most Americans have no clue to the danger of these movements for “Fairness”. This is the day to be well informed and aware of these movements which seem to have good cause, but are really deceptive in nature to move ahead with a broader brush with a wider purpose which will be revealed as time goes on, and not for the better. Twelve states have either endorsed or approved of “same-sex marriage” laws, that re-define marriage that has been an on-going institution since the beginning of civilization. West Virginia is now being pressed, however lightly by the above, to do the same. Listen carefully to those who seek in the name of “equality” and “tolerance”, to make way for something much more in meaning.

STATE NEWS

Insurers pay $600K in small-town racism case By VICKI SMITH Associated Press MORGANTOWN (AP) — Insurance companies will pay $600,000 to a former officer who sued the Sophia Police Department over claims he was harassed and fired because he is black, Mayor Danny Barr said Wednesday. That payout is more than the small West Virginia town’s entire $560,000 annual budget. While there’s no immediate cost to taxpayers, Barr said he worries the deal with former officer Damon McDowell may eventually raise insurance rates for a community of just 1,334 people. Barr said the town was informed of, but not involved in, the confidential settlement that McDowell reached with the insurance companies in March. Police Chief Tomi Peck has denied any wrongdoing, and the settlement does not require any such admission. She has previously said she fired McDowell after he left an Applebee’s in Beckley without paying his bill. But McDowell, who was the

only black officer on the force, claimed he was the victim of a conspiracy cooked up to force him to resign. He was fired last year after just six months on the job. McDowell, 44, contends it was the culmination of harassment schemes that included hiding paperwork so he’d miss court appearances, drawing penises on his papers and telling jokes with a racial epithet in his presence. The federal lawsuit also claimed McDowell was denied training opportunities in favor of white officers, even when one had already resigned and the other had less seniority. McDowell’s attorney, Maria Hughes, declined comment Wednesday, citing the judge’s order that the settlement remain confidential. But Barr said acts of racism will not be tolerated and anyone who experiences, witnesses or even hears about them is obligated to report it. Police department policies were recently updated to make that clear, he said. “It’s embarrassing to the town, it’s embarrassing to the people, it’s embarrassing to everybody,”

said Barr, who has been mayor off and on for 17 years in the tiny Raleigh County community perhaps best known as the hometown of the late U.S. Sen. Robert C. Byrd. Among other things, the 44-year-old McDowell charged that fellow officers told him he talked like a monkey, repeatedly played YouTube videos of a black man screaming “Rack ‘em!” and played the soundtrack to “Sanford and Son,” a 1970s TV sitcom about a black junk dealer, when he was in the office. The lawsuit also claimed McDowell’s co-workers prepared a fake memorandum with the chief’s knowledge, instructing officers to use phony words when calling the communications center. McDowell says he used the memo during a traffic stop and was then mocked and ridiculed by peers. “If someone would have come to me,” Barr said, “it would have been stopped immediately.” “That stuff went out with Jim Crow,” the mayor said, referring to the laws that once mandated segregation. “There’s no place in this society for those kinds of remarks.”

W.Va. clinics to receive millions from ObamaCare CHARLESTON (AP) — Sen. Jay Rockefeller says 27 community health centers in West Virginia are eligible for nearly $2.5 million in federal funding to help uninsured residents enroll in affordable health plans.

The West Virginia Democrat says the funding is part of the nation’s health care reform law. He says the funding is intended to hire staff, train existing workers and hold educational events to help residents better understand

coverage options and eligibility. The funding is provided to the state to distribute to community health centers that apply for stateadministered grants. Rockefeller announced the funding on Tuesday.

BUCKHANNON ROTARY CLUB

Festival ‘means a lot of things to a lot of people’ By Duane Carpenter Staff Writer BUCKHANNON — “Just one visit to the West Virginia Strawberry Festival and you can make a friend for life,” remarked Carol Long, West Virginia Strawberry Festival board of directors member and past president. Long was one of three representatives of the WVSF that spoke to Buckhannon Rotary members about the history, sponsorship and the current events planned for the Strawberry Festival. Long retold the story of how the Strawberry Festival brought together the towns of El Toro, Calif., and Buckhannon. “It was the spring of 1985 and we invited the El Toro High School band to the Strawberry

Festival,” Long said. “They had a wonderful time here, taking pictures of all the buildings downtown commenting how we had a quaint little town. “Later that year in November we had a horrible flood that made the nationwide news. The band members from El Toro heard about the flood and had a fundraiser. They gathered as much money as they could and they sent it to Buckhannon. I had the honor of taking the money and purchased small appliances to families that had been flooded. “It was a few years later that their area suffered an earthquake and the Strawberry Festival board decided to send them a donation. It is a great case showing neighborhoods reaching across the nation to help one another and

how friendships can be made. I think that is a very important part of the Strawberry Festival.” Long was introduced by rotarian Burl Smith who called her the “Voice of the Strawberry Festival. Long is one of the most tenured members of the community volunteering her time to the festival. Long recounted some of the history of the festival noting it began in 1936 with one director with three committees put together the first Strawberry Festival. Long noted it was just a one-day affair then and the very first festival was sponsored by the Buckhannon Lion’s Club. Dr. J. E. Judson devised a plan to showcase strawberries raised in the central part of West Virginia. It was initially called The Central West Virginia Strawberry Festival.

Long said that the early Strawberry Festivals were broadcast on local radio and said the first television broadcast was in 1991 by WBOY. “The festival means a lot of things to a lot of people,” Long said. “It can be a homecoming, a time for family fun, meeting old friends or showcasing our community. People come into Buckhannon and see all the wonderful things we have to offer in a small-town atmosphere.” Vicky Kelley, president and executive director of the WVSF, talked to the Rotary Club about this year’s events. “I think the one thing that makes our festival special is we are one of the few that does not charge admission fees,” Kelley said. “We have a lot of free events

for our families to attend.” She said that she often gets asked the question why the festival doesn’t bring in big entertainers like at other events and festivals. “We can’t afford to do that because we offer everything for free,” Kelley said. “If you go to a county fair, you usually will pay a gate fee that helps offset the costs. We do offer a lot free events. We make it so people can afford to do the things we offer.” WVSF board member Jody Light closed the program by thanking all of the sponsors of this year’s festival. “If it wasn’t for our sponsors, there wouldn’t be a Strawberry Festival,” Light said. Light said that the state plans to cut 14 or 15 percent of their funding to all festivals in 2014.

Buckhannon Rotary presents checks to three local groups By Duane Carpenter Staff Writer BUCKHANNON — The Buckhannon Rotary Club presented three donations at Tuesday’s meeting. Literacy Volunteers Linda Feola, director of the Literacy Center, accepted a $3,500 contribution from Buckhannon Rotary President Mike Coffman on behalf of the

Literacy Volunteers of Upshur County. Feola said of the contribution, “Literacy Volunteers is a non-profit organization. We are truly appreciate to Buckhannon Rotary for all you do for us.” Feola said the Literacy Center assists adults testing below the fourth-grade level. “One in five adults in Upshur County is below that level,” Feola. “There is a lot of need out there and we

are the only organization that provides tutoring at this level. WVWC Enactus Tim Allen, a member of the West Virginia Wesleyan College Enactus organization, accepted a $2,000 contribution from Coffman. The donation will help deflect the cost of the team’s participation in the national competition in Kansas City, Mo. on May 21-23. The team was

chosen to attend the competition after they won the regional competition in Baltimore, Md. Wesleyan is just one two West Virginia universities or colleges attending the national competition. Enactus is a student-driven organization with core values based in entrepreneurship, economic principles, environmental impact and financial literacy. Throughout the year, Wes-

leyan students complete projects within the local communities aimed at meeting any and all of these objectives, with projects including: teaching social networking to fifth and sixth graders, assisting small businesses with the development of business and marketing plans, educating students of many ages about the importance of financial literacy, and helping individuals find employment to

name a few. Strawberry Festival Vicky Kelley, president and executive director of the West Virginia Strawberry Festival, accepted an $800 donation from Coffman on behalf of the WVSF. The donation will benefit children’s events at the festival. Some of those events include Strawberry Blonde, the Diaper Derby and the coloring contest among others.

CLARKSBURG (AP) — A federal judge has rescheduled the drug trial of a Clarksburg man charged with selling illegal bath salts at two north-central West Virginia stores. U.S. marshals are searching for 57-year-old John Skruck, a former Texas resident who failed to show up for his trial Tuesday. Anyone with information on his whereabouts should call them at 304-623-0486. Skruck is white, 5-foot-9 and 200 pounds, with long, gray-brown hair and a beard. Prosecutors say he failed to return Monday from an approved out-of-town trip, and an arrest warrant was issued. On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Irene Keeley entered an order delaying his trial until Sept. 4. Skruck ran the Hot Stuff Cool Things stores in Buckhannon and Clarksburg before authorities raided and closed them last April.

Cheer coach pleads guilty to sex abuse FAIRMONT (AP) — A fired cheerleading coach charged with sexually abusing male students has pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual abuse by guardian. Mannington resident and for-

Barker was charged last year with abusing a 16-year-old then charged again when two 16- and 17-year-old boys came forward with accusations. Media outlets say she had oral

sex with one boy in her home, after her husband and children had gone to bed. The 31-year-old Barker will be sentenced Aug. 5. She could face 10-20 years in prison.

Stop Lights

From Page 1A Despite the motion, the Department of Highways will still have to approve it. If approved, a four-way stop sign will be implemented at that intersection for a study. Davidson told council that if the city was asking the state to install stop lights at Florida and Spring streets today that they would not because the traffic count was not high enough. He also noted that traffic at Main Street and Kanawha Street was only marginally higher. Following the vote, a discussion was brought forth about what would happen to the current traffic signals. Council decided the traffic lights would be turned off and eventually removed, with the state’s approval. Arnold also suggested with the four-way stop signs being permanent, there was no need for the turning lane onto Florida Street. The council discussed that

Smoking Ban

From Page 1A Councilman Dave Thomas said Tuesday he believed the ordinance was still too expansive by covering fair and festivals and asked that council still consider to review that issue in the future. City Recorder Rich Clemens noted that council has received several encouraging letters about the ban at the Strawberry Festival too. “There are positive comments to keep the ban enforced at the festival as well.” Councilman Ron Pugh said he has no intention but to fully support what the council has already passed. He reminded those that disagree with the smoking ban ordinance that it covers just the parks, not the entire city. “We could have went ahead like some other West Virginia cities have gone ahead and implemented a citywide ban on cigarettes and tobacco in all public places,” Pugh said. “We didn’t do that. We just limited it to our city parks. So I don’t think we have infringed a lot on smokers’ rights. I think we have helped the rights of those that don’t smoke.” During the council meeting, Idress Gooden and Matt Kerner both spoke out in favor of the ban.

gown came from Oliveros Boutique and was a red strapless gown with jewels. “My dress is absolutely gorgeous, but to tell you the truth, it is about 45 pounds literally,” she said. As for the rest of the week, McComas said she was looking forward to attending as many events as possible. “There’s a lot to take in and a lot of activities to participate in,” she said. “I am excited for everything and to have the opportunity and grab it with full force.” Butler said it was humbling to serve as king. “I really feel privileged to serve as king,” he said. “It’s a real honor.” Butler watched his son Ethan serve as king two different years and then joined the association as a board member. “I learned a lot about the festival then and it made me want to get involved and try to help out,” he said. This year, Butler said he was looking forward to seeing everyone during the festival “and hopefully having good

weather and a good crowd.” Although Butler has produced strawberries successfully in the past, this year Mother Nature conspired against the strawberry king. “We had plants out this year but we are not going to have to any berries unfortunately,” he said. “We will keep trying.” Earlier in the day, McComas and Butler lit the festival flame outside the courthouse. Windy conditions necessitated several attempts to get the flame lit. The Junior Royalty were featured in the Junior Royalty Parade Thursday evening. The festival will continue today with events including the crowning of the senior lord and lady, Brannon and Ann Baxa, and the berry capping championship at the Upshur County Senior Center beginning at 2:30 p.m., the sweetest berry contest on the courthouse steps at 3 p.m., the strawberry auction at 4 p.m. on the courthouse steps and the fireman’s parade at 6:30 p.m. Saturday’s Grand Feature Parade begins at 1 p.m.

extra parking spaces could be added on Main Street up to the entrance to Market Square if the turning lane was removed. O’Neill asked if the city was going to stay with the four-way stop signs, could the city do anything to enhance the crosswalks to make it easier for pedestrians to cross since they no longer have the protection of the traffic signals. City recorder Rich Clemens disagreed with O’Neill’s assessment that pedestrians will have a harder time with the new fourway stops. “I have found that it is actually easier to cross the intersections now under the current format,” Clemens. “Before you had people that could turn right on red and that seemed to be an issue for people wanting to cross a street.” Thomas stated, “A lot of times, people are just not considerate to pedestrians. I don’t know how you change that problem.” Waltz said the city should see where the highest concentration of pedestrians are and make the

proper adjustments. Arnold said the city could put out more signs for pedestrian crossing or they could go to midblock crossing. “ We can customize where we make the crossings,” Arnold said. Clemens also said the fourway stops make it easier to get through town, especially for bus drivers. Sherry Dean, director of school transportation, previously wrote a letter council in support of the four-way stops. She said in the letter, “The four-way stops have saved time and reduced the congestion that occurred when the stop lights were active. It is our consensus that the new stop signs are very beneficial.” Prior to the vote, Davidson presented an option to council that the state could do another six-month study of the two intersections since people are more used to the four-way stops. Thomas said he didn’t think they needed another study based on information they already have.

Gooden, the RESA VII adolescent health coordinator, told council, “Secondhand smoke harms everyone, even in outdoor settings. It isn’t just confined to an indoor area. Tobacco-free environments promote positive community role-molding. With children, they don’t always abide what we say, but what we do. The example that we set for them on a daily basis is paramount.” Kerner, executive director of the Opportunity House, said, “The simple question is, ‘Are kids better off to see people smoking or not to see people smoking?’ That is kind of how simple that decision is. Smoking isn’t a matter of personal rights; we do a lot of things to shield children from others behaviors. I hope council sticks to their original decision and does what is right for our children.” Christina Pickens, who spoke against the ban at the last meeting, told council again she feels that designated smoking areas are needed. “As a smoker, I want to be able to take my grandchildren or nieces and nephews to the parks,” she said. “Even if the designated area is in the parking lot, as long as I can still watch my child play in that area. I still believe it is my right to have a designated area. I think my rights should be respected.”

Doyle Tenney, who spoke out against the ban, suggested that if they are going to fine smokers, to put that money into a tobacco prevention fund. Tenney asked council also why a designated area couldn’t have been established for smokers in parks so parents could keep an eye on their children. “If I am at the park for a couple of hours and I want to smoke, I have to take my child from the park and leave to smoke and then come back,” Tenney said. “Research says that 20 feet is an appropriate distance for keeping away secondhand smoke from someone else.” Tenney asked council if the county gives any money to support the city parks. He said the county should have a say in what the city’s decision is, because there are more county residents than city residents. Council said the county doesn’t not give the city any financial support for the city parks. Davidson reminded Tenney that the people within the city pay taxes and that is what supports the parks. “We have never said that anybody that lives outside of city can’t use the parks, but the city is going to control what goes on in the parks.”

Kansas lures top prospect Andrew Wiggins By DAVE SKRETTA AP Sports Writer LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Bill Self knew after witnessing an emotional senior day that Andrew Wiggins was considering Kansas, even if the Jayhawks’ coach was in the dark like everyone else while the superstar recruit made certain of his future. For one thing, Wiggins saw on that visit in March just how beloved players are at Kansas, where icons such as James Naismith and Phog Allen have become deified. Wiggins also saw just how many players were departing. Four senior starters delivered farewell addresses that night. A few weeks later, star freshman Ben McLemore announced he would be declaring for the NBA draft, leaving the nine-time defending Big 12 champions looking for a bunch of guys to plug into the lineup next season. Undoubtedly, Wiggins saw in Kansas a place where he could shine. “I just felt like that was the place for me,” the consensus No. 1-ranked recruit said after announcing his college intentions Tuesday in Huntington, W.Va. “Going to college will get me better mentally and physically in the game of basketball.” Wiggins chose the Jayhawks over overtures from Kentucky, North Carolina and Florida State, where both of his parents attended and one of his teammates will be playing next season.

“I felt like there was a connection,” Self said, “but basically, he picked a good night to visit. He visited on senior day and kind of saw what this was all about, a game that wasn’t a huge high-intensity game, but a game he was able to see how players are beloved here.” Widely considered the next LeBron James — though Self compared him more closely to Tracy McGrady — the 6-foot-7 Wiggins initially was part of the 2014 class, but was immediately raised to the top of this year’s recruiting market when he decided to reclassify. Originally from Canada, Wiggins averaged more than 23 points and 11 rebounds while leading Huntington Prep School to a 30-3 record last season. He also dazzled scouts, most of which knew they had no chance of landing him, at the McDonald’s All-American Game and Jordan Brand Classic. The entire recruitment of Wiggins was unlike anything college basketball has seen. Sure, he’s the kind of transcendent talent that in bygone days could have jumped straight to the NBA, and that alone makes him unique. But by nature, he’s a soft-spoken kid who cares little for the spotlight. So while other top recruits string along the public before making their college decision, Wiggins kept his thoughts largely to himself throughout the process. Self said he texted Wiggins on Tuesday morning to wish him luck, and received a text back

from the small forward saying, “Thank you.” But besides that, Self had barely spoken with Wiggins in the final tense days of his recruitment. Wiggins revealed his choice at a small ceremony at his prep school. Self didn’t even know he’d won the recruiting derby until he received a phone call from a reporter. “There wasn’t jubilation like you’d think,” Self said. “It was kind of a surreal feeling. I was so happy, but at the same time, it was almost a humble happiness, and so proud we were able to land Andrew to go with what’s already a terrific recruiting class.” Along with losing McLemore, who’s expected to be an NBA lottery pick, the Jayhawks are also losing star center Jeff Withey, forward Kevin Young and veteran guards Elijah Johnson and Travis Releford, who have never known anything but winning conference championships. Kansas has a few reserves returning, including junior guard Naadir Tharpe and sophomore forward Perry Ellis, a five-star prospect that finally caught on late last season. But the Jayhawks will be dominated by newcomers as they chase their 10th straight Big 12 championship next year. Wiggins is the headliner, but 6-5 Wayne Seldon from Tilton (N.H.) School is the second-rated shooting guard in the country. Seven-footer Joel Embiid from The Rock School in Gainesville, Fla., is the third-rated center.

Guards Connor Frankamp from Wichita, Kan., and Brannen Greene from Tifton, Ga., are in the top 10 at their positions, and point guard Frank Mason from Massanutten Military Academy in Woodstock, Va., has steadily climbed into the nation’s top 100 recruits. “If anything,” Self said, “it gets me excited to go to work.” Wiggins said the most difficult part of his decision was informing the three other finalists that he’d be going elsewhere. As for why he chose Kansas, well, he’s keeping most of those reasons private, though he did say having his older brother Nick Wiggins at Wichita State was nice. His father, former NBA player Mitchell Wiggins, said fit was also a big part of it. “He liked their system. A lot of pro offense, the pick and roll,” the elder Wiggins said. “The system is probably the biggest thing, and Coach Self is a pretty good coach.” Self is the first to admit he wouldn’t be nearly as successful if it wasn’t for his players — that’s where it all starts, of course. But in luring Wiggins to Kansas, even Self acknowledged he’s never coached another player like him. “He doesn’t really fit the mold of some of the guys we’ve had in the past,” Self said. “He’s a tremendous talent and a terrific kid. Probably an even better kid than he is a talent. We think he has a chance to be about as good a prospect as we’ve ever had.”

DNR cracks down on illegal swimming at Tygart Lake GRAFTON (AP) — State authorities are cracking down on illegal swimming at Tygart Lake. Swimming from the lake’s shoreline at the Pleasant Creek Wildlife Management Area is

prohibited. Division of Natural Resources wildlife chief Curtis Taylor says in a news release that illegal swimming from the shoreline has created public safety concerns. Taylor says the swimming

also is affecting boat launching at Pleasant Creek’s boat ramp. Swimming from watercraft is allowed. The lake’s public shoreline swimming area at Tygart Lake State Park’s beach area has

been closed for several years. It’s scheduled to reopen in 2014. Lodge and cottage guests at the park can swim without charge at Grafton’s city swimming pool.

Elkins Motor Lodge and 1863 Tavern under new ownership ELKINS — The Elkins Motor Lodge and 1863 Tavern restaurant have been purchased and are under new ownership, as of May 9. The venture, incorporated as The Isaac Jackson Hotel, Inc., is made up of Kenny and Beverly Sexton, Jim and Elaine Douglas, and Lloyd and Sharon Teter. The stockholders have big plans for the property, and will be renovating and expanding the hotel and restaurant over the coming year. The hotel will be rebranded as The Isaac Jackson Hotel, but the restaurant will retain the 1863 name it is known for. The work will be done in phases, with the first phase being the complete remodeling of the 23 hotel rooms in the two-story building on the hillside. Sexton said, “We are excited about this new project. We feel it is something Elkins needs, and we can’t wait to get started. It will be a totally different place when we are finished with it, and its new look and design will speak for itself.” The new owners are working with George Conte Design Consultants Incorporated out of the Pittsburgh area on the new interior design for both the hotel and restaurant. Conte is one of the most sought after hotel interior designers on the East Coast and happens to have roots in the Elkins area. He has done hotel designs across the U.S. and Canada. The stated mission of his company is to set a high standard of providing excellent and practical design while making properties memorable and increasing their profitability. The second phase will include an addition of a new hotel building on the hillside where the cottages are currently located. The team is working with VanNostrand Architects out of Buckhannon on the new building design. The new building will add an additional 38 hotel rooms and a large, modern hotel lobby to the property, and will connect to the current hotel building, providing elevator access to all of the hotel rooms on the property. The second phase will also include a total renovation of the restaurant. While classics that the restaurant is known for, including the famous cinnamon rolls, will remain in place, the overall look of the interior and exterior will be updated. Plans for the addition of a bakery and donut shop are also in the works. Susan Channell, owner and operator for over two decades, is thrilled about the sale and the coming changes and renovations to the property. “I can’t wait to see new life in the property, and I look forward to continuing to work with the new owners.” The goal of the ownership is to have the 23 rooms up and running by this fall, with the new construction and restaurant updates completed by Spring of 2014. Limited hotel operations will continue through the fall, and restaurant operations will continue as usual, until early 2014, when it will have to be closed for renovations. When fully completed, The Isaac Jackson will have a total of 61 new and newly remodeled guest rooms, a full service restaurant, a bakery and donut shop, and a large banquet and conference room.

Lady Bucs ready for one last run By Brian Bergstrom Editor BUCKHANNON — Three out of four ain’t bad. At least, that’s what the Buckhannon-Upshur High School girls track and field team hopes they’ll be saying Saturday night. The Lady Bucs head to Charleston today for the start of the 2013 WVSSAC Track and Field Championship looking to recapture the team title they held in 2010 and 2011. Last year, Morgantown took advantage of some of Buckhannon’s stumbles to claim the crown. Now, coach Jackie Zuliani says the Lady Bucs will look to do the same thing to their rivals up north. “Looking at it on paper, I feel the roles are reversed this year,” Zuliani said. “They have a little bit of an edge, but we can knock them off it everyone performs. But there’s not a lot of margin of error there.” The Lady Bucs will compete in just eight events, but could — and really should — win seven of them. Emily Godwin will look to repeat last year’s 40-point performance in her final high school meet. She qualified in the high jump, long jump, 300 hurdles and 100 hurdles. She will face teammates Lauren Cvechko and Courtney Reed in three of those events — the long jump, 300 hurdles and 100 hurdles. Reed and Cvechko will also be part of a shuttle hurdles team that will be aiming not just for gold, but for a state record. “If Lauren has a good day, she can score us big points in every event,” Zuliani said. “Not to put pressure on her, because everyone is going to have to perform, but she is one that could really put us high up on the board.” In the shot put, Mackenzie Leigh, Mercedes Dowell and Megan Wilfong could collect the maximum 24 points.

LADY BUC STATE QUALIFIERS — Kneeling: Katy Riley. Standing, from left: Hannah Stankus, Emily Godwin, Mackenzie Leigh, Megan Wilfong, Mercedes Dowell, Lauren Cvechko and Courtney Reed. “They could go 1-2-3, in any order,” Zuliani said. “I know all three of them want that number one, but we’ll take 24 points in any order.” Leigh and Dowell will also square off in the discus. Finally, Katy Riley hopes to contribute valuable points to Buckhannon’s team effort in the pole vault — while also looking to claim the school record by clearing 10 feet. Zuliani said despite the busy season for her seniors — with graduation approaching, college preparations under way, etc. — they seem to be ready for what’s in store at states. “They seem to be focused, but their attention has been going in a lot of different directions,” Zuliani said. “They’ve been training hard. They want [the title] back. It slipped away from us last year,

and it could possibly have been four in a row.” Three out of four? That wouldn’t be so bad. Here is an event-by-event look at B-U’s chances in the state track meet. 110 HURDLES (Godwin, Cvechko and Reed) This is the first running event for the Lady Bucs, and it should be a doozy. On paper, this is Godwin’s toughest race, and to defend her 2012 title she’ll have to beat John Marshall freshman Tori Derrow, who has clocked the top time in the state this year — 14.82 seconds. Godwin hasn’t cracked the 15-second mark yet, but she’s been close and seems to be peaking at the right time — the 15.08 she ran to win the Region II meet is her fastest time of the season. Derrow, meanwhile, clocked a

15.11 for the Region I crown. If Godwin can get down anywhere close to the state record 14.60 she ran in the preliminaries last year, expect her to bring home gold. “The freshman, Derrow, we have not seen her run,” Zuliani said, “but she’s definitely going to give Emily a challenge.” Zuliani said Godwin on target with her times from last season and could go well under 15 seconds at states. Anacia Hines of St. Albans is also in the mix. “We raced against Hines once, and Emily and Lauren both beat her,” Zuliani said. “But that was early in the season, and she’s really improved.” Cvechko has a good shot at scoring in the 100 hurdles. She’s run a 15.63 this season and ran a 15.87 in regionals. Last year,

she finished fifth at states with a 15.98. With a pack of girls in the mid-15-second range, look for Cvechko to equal or improve on her 2012 finish. Finally, Reed will try to shave some valuable tenths off her thirdplace regional time of 16.49. According to RunWV.com, 10 girls have run at or below 16 seconds this year, so Reed faces an uphill battle for a points-scoring spot. 300 HURDLES (Godwin, Cvechko and Reed) The 300-meter hurdles are a different story, however. Here, the Lady Bucs could conceivably place three girls in the top six, a tremendous accomplishment in any event. Godwin has the state’s best time by more than a second and a

Bucs send nine athletes to state meet By Brian Bergstrom Editor BUCKHANNON — When the Buckhannon-Upshur High School boys track team heads to Laidley Field this morning for the WVSSAC Track and Field Championship, they’ll be taking nine athletes to compete in eight events. “We have nine guys going in eight events, which is phenomenal,” coach Patty Wager said. “They’ve done really well and worked really hard.” Regional shot put champion Isaac Johnson is probably Buckhannon’s best shot at medaling, but the team has their eyes on several other events as well. Freshman Marcus Lofton will look to make an early mark on his high school career in the 200-meter dash and long jump, and will also be a member of the 4-by-400 meter relay team. He could also compete in the 4-by200, depending on the outcome of the open 200-meter dash. Seth Cutright will line up in the fast heat of the 300-meter hurdles, giving him a great chance of placing that event, while in the 400-meter dash, Stetson West will compete against one of the top athletes in the state, Jefferson’s Dante Price. Finally, B-U’s shuttle hurdle relay team will try to best the personal best they set at regionals and sneak into a scoring spot. “Our guys are fired up,” Wager said. “Bridgeport is number one in the state in AA, and our guys were second behind them at the Big Ten Championship — and only because [Bridgeport] took 22 points in pole vault. So we’re ready for states.” Here’s an event-by-event breakdown: SHOT PUT (Isaac Johnson) Regional champion Johnson will look to make his mark at

Johnson finished sixth in the event last year with a throw of 47 feet, but four of the top five throwers graduated. According to RunWV.com, he currently has the fourth best throw of the season at 50 feet, 4 inches, behind fellow seniors Houstin Syverston of Shady Spring, Tre Moore of Greenbrier East and Thomas Baroody of Musselman. Outside of the top four, no one else has touched the 50-foot mark this season. Syverston is the man to beat, with Moore — who finished fourth last year — a close sec-

ond. Johnson is probably eyeing bronze — he beat Baroody by more than a foot at regionals — but with a great performance and a little luck he could move up into one of the top two spots. “Isaac defended his regional title and placed sixth at states last year,” Wager said. “He wants to take it all. And he could it. It will probably take a 52 to win, which would break our school record, so he’s on double duty. And he wants to break his dad’s record. He’ll be right up there.” 300-METER HURDLES (Cutright) This one is going to be close. Cutright finished fifth in another tight regional race, with second through fifth clocking

between a 40.41 and a 40.70. Jefferson’s Warren Gray took gold with a 39.67. Unlike last year, when Elkins’ Cam Viney soared to the win with a time of 37.81 seconds, no one really stands out from the crowd. According to RunWV.com, four runners have gone under 40 seconds this year — but none under 39 — and Cutright is right in the mix with his regional time of 40.70. That time would have placed fifth in last year’s state meet. Outside of the shot put, this is probably Buckhannon’s best shot at points. “Cutright is ranked, right now, sixth,” Wager said. “So he’s going to be in the fast heat. His PR is

a 40.70, but every time he runs the 300s he gets faster. He could really win states, which would make him a two-sport state title holder (Cutright won a state title wrestling earlier this year). He’s just a super athlete.” LONG JUMP (Lofton) Lofton jumped 19 feet, 1 inch at regionals, good enough to send him to states despite finishing fifth. He’ll probably have to tack on about 8 or 12 inches to figure into the scoring at states, with seven jumpers having cleared 20 feet at one point or another this season. Region II champion Martinez Grant of Jefferson is the top con-

BUCKHANNON — It was a tough and disappointing season for West Virginia Wesleyan’s baseball Bobcats. Picked to finish second in the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference’s Southern Division, coach Randy Tenney’s ‘Cats wound up with an overall record of 1725 and a fifth-place divisional ledger of 12-15. They failed to qualify for the postseason tourney. Their team batting average was 32 points lower than the .310 they posted in 2012 when they racked up a 28-19 record. But there were some individual bright spots. Senior second baseman Matt Edwards led the team at the plate with a .362 average, pounding out 55 hits in 152 at-bats, including six doubles, a triple and one home run. He scored 26 runs and had 22 runsbatted-in, and led the squad in stolen bases with 10. Senior outfielder J.R. Tenney ranked second, collecting 41 hits in 125 trips for a .328 average while starting all 42 games. His raps included four two-baggers, a triple and a team-high two homers, and he scored 23 runs and drove home 11. He was second in thefts with nine. Senior outfielder Corey Davis appeared in 20 contests and batted .316, banging out 12 safeties in 38 trips with three doubles and five runsbatted-in. Freshman outfielder John Koon was 19-for-63 for a .302 average in 27 games. He belted three doubles and a threebagger and drove in 15 runs. Junior shortstop Tommy Brunswick was the final Bobcat over the .300 mark, finishing with a .301 average. He smacked nine doubles and drove home 19 markers. The other regulars or parttime starters were sophomore outfielder Nick Jones (.290), junior catcher Spencer Webley (.272), senior outfielder Ryan Lewicki (.264), junior catcher Mitch Tomlinson (.250), freshman infielder Colin Gotham (.233), senior first baseman Aaron Wiegel (.219), senior infielder Rob Stephens (.212), freshman catcher-infielder Corey Lynn (.200) and sophomore second baseman Dylan Rhodes (.184). The mound staff posted a 6.82 earned-run-average. Senior lefty Aaron Adams was the workhorse of the staff, winding up with a 4-6 record and a 5.40 earned-run-average in 66 2/3 innings. He surrendered 89 hits and 54 runs, of which 40 were earned, walked 18 and struck out 54. Other hurlers with decisions were junior Zach Oliver (4-5), senior Casey Defibaugh (3-2), sophomore Andrew Ornes (2-6), senior Nick Benges (1-3), senior Chris Stein (1-1 with 1 save), senior Dan Marcine (1-1), sophomore Shaun McCoy (1-0) and sophomore Adam Newell (1-0). The complete 2013 statistics: BATTING AVERAGE Michael Logsdon – 4 games, 2-for-5, .400. Matt Edwards – 42 games, 55-for-152, .362. J.R. Tenney – 42 games, 41-for-125, .328. Corey Davis – 20 games, 12-for-38, .316. John Koon – 27 games, 19-for-63, .302. Tommy Brunswick – 42 games, 41-for-136, .301. Nick Jones – 37 games, 38-for-131, .290.

From Page 5B tender for gold — according to RunWV.com, he’s cleared 22 feet twice, although he only jumped 20-10.5 at regionals — but behind him the field is wide open. SHUTTLE HURDLES (Aaron Boyles, Cutright, Cody Luterek and Blake Wolverton) Buckhannon’s shuttle hurdles relay team finished fifth in the region in a tight race, where three-quarters of a second separated third from fifth. Hedgesville smoked everyone, clocking a 58.96 time that could earn them a points-scoring spot at states. Relays are always hard to predict — the group who runs at states might not be the some foursome that competed at regionals, and a season-best time might include an athlete that will instead be competing in four individual events at states. RunWV.com says only one team, Cabell Midland, has run under 58 seconds, so they will be the team to beat. After that, it’s a pretty wide open field. Still, the Bucs have a tough road ahead to get into a pointsscoring position. “[B-U’s regional time of 1:01.76] is their PR,” Wager said. “I think they can get down to a minute, if not faster. I think they can place, I really do.” Who knows — the Buckhannon team is loaded with three seniors running in what will be the final event of their high school careers. 4-BY-400 METER RELAY (George Clem, Cutright, Austin Sayre and Stetson West) The Region II meet was a preview of what you’ll see at states, with Hedgesville, Jefferson and Martinsburg the top three teams. The Bucs finished fourth at regionals, but were eight seconds back. RunWV.com speculates Jefferson will put Price — the state’s top sprinter — in this relay for his fourth and final event in order to take a crack at the state record. If that happens, they become the runaway title contenders. Buckhannon has a nice team, led by 400 open state qualifier West, but placing here will be a challenge. “Our guys were thrilled with their time (3:35.04), but

our region is just so tough,” Wager said. “Those teams are running 3:26, 3:27.” 4-BY-200 METER RELAY (Clem, West, Lofton and Sayre) Buckhannon’s 4-by-200 squad has flown a bit under the radar, but finished fourth in Region II, which qualified six teams for states. The Bucs would probably need to shave about 1 1/2 seconds off their regional time of 1:33.81 to move into the top six. They’ll also be keeping an eye on the school record, a 1:31 and change. “The 4-by-200 could possibly take the record down, so that would be great,” Wager said. 400-METER DASH (West) Region II qualified an impressive seven runners in this event, with West coming in sixth with a 52.16. That’s a great time, but competition in the 400 is fierce — the top five regional runners all ran under 51 seconds, with Price churning out a 48.59. That means he will be in the hunt for James Jett’s 1989 record of 47.74. No one else has come close to his times this season, so it would be a huge upset if Price loses. “[West] is going to have to bust it,” Wager said. “He’s in the slower heat, but he knows what he’s got to do. He is shooting for 50 [seconds]. It’s going to be tough, but he can do it.” Looks like the first event Saturday morning should be a don’t-miss. 200-METER DASH (Lofton) This event was close at regionals, with Price winning by just .18 seconds over Musselman’s Joshua Ferguson. Lofton finished sixth, but less than a third of a second behind third-place Christian Beverly of Hedgesville. Price and Ferguson will probably battle for the gold, and Lofton would need great runs in both prelims and finals to walk away with a medal. Wager praised her freshman for advancing to states in the event. “What an honor,” she said. “If you look at the top 16, there are no freshmen [other than Lofton] in the open 200. He’s going to have to bust a low 23 to get to the finals. But what an honor for a freshman to be in there will all the veterans.”

From Page 5B half — 45.19 seconds — and she ran it at regionals last Wednesday. It’s hard to see anyone catching her unless she slips up. According to RunWV.com, Winfield’s Josee Erlandson is the only other runner to have gone below 47 seconds this year, but she ran a much slower 48.54 at the Region IV meet last week. Cvechko has the state’s fourth best time of 47.63, but she could finish as high as second if things go her way. “Every time Lauren crosses the line in the 300s, I tell her, ‘You’ve got some left in the tank,’” Zuliani said. “She’s been working hard this year, and her times have improved.” Finally, Reed is ranked seventh at 48.75 and wouldn’t be a surprise in the top six. SHUTTLE HURDLES (Hannah Stankus, Riley, Reed amd Cvechko) Hurdles, hurdles and more hurdles. Godwin is competing in four individual events, but even without her B-U’s shuttles team is outstanding. The quartet ran a 1:05.10 at regionals and won by more than four seconds. States won’t be that easy, but Buckhannon team is undoubtedly the favorite heading into the meet. According to RunWV.com, the next five teams have gone below 1:07, but none under 1:06, giving the Lady Bucs nearly a onesecond cushion. Barring any last minute additions to another team (this is states, after all) this one is Buckhannon’s to lose.

Zuliani noted that every year the shuttles team adds a member new to hurdles — last year it was Reed as a freshman, and before that Abby Lantz — and yet the team just keeps getting faster. “Let’s hope that Hannah Stankus continues that role, because she had never run hurdles before [this season],” Zuliani said. “She has been working and working and working. These four girls could possibly break the state record. It’s going to be an exciting race to watch.” HIGH JUMP (Godwin) Godwin has the top jump of the year — 5 feet, 9 inches — by three inches. Last year she jumped 5-8 for the win. The jumping events tend to be fairly predictable, and Godwin is perhaps the state’s most consistent athlete, so she should win gold here. The real question is whether or not the 2007 state record of 5-9 will still be standing Saturday night. “She really wants the high jump record,” Zuliani noted, “because she hasn’t gotten that one yet.” Godwin set state records in the 300 hurdles in 2011 and 100 hurdles last year. LONG JUMP (Godwin, Cvechko and Reed) Yes, Godwin placed second in this event just two weeks ago at the Big Ten Championships, but her opponent there was AA Liberty’s Alexandria Allen. Amongst her large-school competition, Godwin has more than a 1-foot buffer over Morgantown’s Rebekah Lafata, whose best jump this season is 16-7 3/4.

According to RunWV.com, Godwin’s best jump this year is 17-8 1/2 — she’s been over 17 feet four times — but she leapt just 16-7 to win regionals. Still, with not just an individual title on the line, but also possibly the team competition, don’t expect Godwin to come in behind her Morgantown rival. Cvechko is in the hunt, too. She decided to compete in this event rather than the high jump at regionals — she was ranked fifth in both events — and it could pay huge dividends. With a great jump and a little luck, Cvechko could wind up as high as second. And Zuliani said Reed — who jumped 15 feet to earn her spot at states — could be a surprise point scorer here too. “She had a great jump [at practice Wednesday],” Zuliani said. “That would be something no one expected, to score three girls in the long jump.” SHOT PUT (Leigh, Dowell and Wilfong) The bread-and-butter of the Lady Buccaneer team, the shot put has been big money at states in recent years and there is nothing to suggest that 2013 will break that pattern. Leigh finished second in 2012, but she should be seeing gold this year. Her best throw of the season — 41 feet, 9 inches — traveled more than 3 feet further than the next best competitor: teammate Mercedes Dowell. A one-two finish at states is totally in play in this event — and, as Zuliani noted, one-two-three isn’t entirely out of the question. Wilfong finished fourth at regionals with a throw of 36-3

1/4 and is also likely to score in the shot put. If she can get up near her season best 37-1, this could be a huge points event for the Lady Bucs. “The 41-9 Mackenzie threw was over the state meet record, so if she would pop that out, she would break it,” Zuliani said. “She is very capable of breaking the shot record. And this is Mercedes’ senior year, so she wants to perform well.” DISCUS (Leigh and Dowell) Leigh again is the girl to beat in this event, although at regionals Dowell was just one foot behind. Across-the-board, results at regionals were well down from season bests — to the tune of about 20 feet — costing Wilfong a spot at states. Still, her teammates should be plenty motivated and this could be another solid event for Buckhannon. “It’s so much of a head game; you’ve just got to break through that,” Zuliani said. POLE VAULT (Riley) Riley cleared 9 feet, 6 inches at regionals to finish fourth and earn a spot in the state meet. She has a shot at stealing a valuable point or two this weekend for the Lady Bucs. Riley’s regional vault is the eighth-best in the state this year, but if she can tack on another six inches, she would probably be looking at a finish somewhere between fourth and sixth — and would take sole ownership of the school record she now shares with Taylor Jack. “Katy has been improving all season long,” Zuliani said. “She found out that hey, she can compete with these people.”

DEAR ABBY: It’s vacation time again, time to hit the road in the RV. Please make your readers aware that people driving motorhomes, towing fifthwheel trailers and travel trailers CANNOT stop as quickly as a small car or truck. When people cut in front of an RV or a large truck and slam on their brakes, it puts many people’s lives in danger. There is a reason we leave that large space between our RV and the vehicle in front of us. It provides us room to stop as well as the ability to see what’s happening in the traffic ahead. Your readers should also know that even though we RV-ers have mirrors and possibly rear video cameras, there are many blind spots -especially if the car behind us is following too close or weaving in and out of lanes. The bottom line is: Be safe. Be courteous. Drive like your life and the lives of others are in your control because it is literally true. -- HAPPY CAMPER, PASCO, WASH. DEAR HAPPY CAMPER: I’m glad you wrote because I have received several letters recently, asking me to alert my readers about the risk of driving too close to RVs and fifth-wheel vehicles. Too many motorists don’t realize that it’s impossible to stop suddenly while pulling a load that weighs several tons. A word to the wise ... ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: A woman here at work constantly asks to borrow money. The first time she did it, she caught me off guard and I gave her $20. The second time she sent me an email asking for a loan, I replied that I only had a few dollars. I’m not the only person she asks. Five other people in our department have told me she has hit them up too. One of them reported her to our HR manager, but it hasn’t stopped her. To be fair, she did return the $20 I loaned her, but isn’t this akin to a hostile work environment? We all avoid her because we know she’ll ask for money, but we also have to work with her every day. Times are tough for everyone, and it’s irritating that she thinks she’s the only one with money problems. Is there anything we can do short of ganging up on her and telling her to leave us all alone? -- ALSO FEELING THE PINCH IN UTAH DEAR ALSO FEELING THE PINCH: The next time the woman asks for a loan, tell her you’re not in the loan business, and that you’re not the only one who feels put upon. Suggest that unless she wants to become an outcast she will stop asking for money because it has made everyone uncomfortable. If she persists after that, report what she’s doing to HR as a group. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: I have a friend who was raised Catholic. I’m not Catholic, and every time I attend a wedding or funeral for one of her family members I feel uncomfortable and awkward. I often sit in the very back pew to go unnoticed. The Catholic Church offers beautiful, unique customs that I am simply ignorant about -like when to sit, kneel, recite, take bread, etc. I feel if I don’t comply with customs at these events, I might come off as rude or disrespectful. On the other hand, if I do try, my ignorance may appear just as rude and disrespectful. What is the right thing to do in situations like these? I want to be respectful of any religion. -MANNERLY IN INDIANA DEAR MANNERLY: No rule of etiquette demands that you participate in the rituals of another person’s religion. If you feel uncomfortable sitting while others kneel or stand, then follow their lead. Or, continue to sit quietly at the back of the church as you are doing, which is perfectly acceptable. However, only members of the congregation in good standing should take communion.

Both Theron Caynor and Nick Caynor eventually were able to pull the vehicle over on Route 151. Inside the car, a jar with residue and a box of salt could be seen, according to the criminal complaint.

By Duane Carpenter Staff Writer

BUCKHANNON — A public hearing for the West Virginia Wesleyan College Refinancing of Bond Issue was held with little fanfare Thursday night prior to the Buckhannon City Council meeting. No one spoke on behalf or against the bond issue during the public hearing. Wesleyan is refinancing an existing debt that the city had issued in 2008 at a lower interest rate. The 2008 bonds were issued to renovate Fleming Hall. “We are trying to save Wesleyan some money by refinancing debts and lowering our payments over time giving the current rates, said Dr. Barry Pritts, Wesleyan’s vice president for finance. “This is an opportunity to be frugal and responsible financially.”

BUCKHANNON — The public is invited to attend the Tenebrae Service at Chapel Hill United Methodist Church on Good Friday, March 29 at 7 p.m. This Easter presentation by the Cantata Choir is titled “Jesus Light of the World” and was created by John Coates and Tom Lawson. This worship service, called Tenebrae from the Latin for darkness, is a time of quiet reflection. Jesus, the light of the world was scorned, rejected, scourged and crucified. And so, the service is marked by the use of many candles, which are gradually extinguished as the story of His coming and His cross is retold. The story is told by two narrators, pastor Ron McCauley and Jennifer Ammons and a prophecy voice, Craig Presar. Soloists include: Abbie Brake, Kelley Cunningham, Roy Law and Michael Livesay. Instrumentalists are Sharon Walton, Jill Harman and Dianne Williams. The cantata choir is directed by Pam Walling. This Tenebrae service will be dramatic as the light moves to darkness at the end of the service. Our prayer is that this candle light service of music, narration and scripture will depict the story we know so well of a babe in a manger and a man on a cross. Come be a part of this moving worship experience and let it remind us of the Easter season of hope.

OPINION 4A

Damn lies, statistics and viral videos Perhaps you’re one of the nearly five million viewers of the latest quasi-political viral videos to hit YouTube — an eight minute motion graphic piece entitled “Wealth Inequality in America.” (Google search the title or view it directly at: http://youtu.be/ QPKKQnijnsM). The animated film is absolutely worth watching; not for the reasons its creators intended, mind you, but rather as a splendid example of how to bend and manipulate simple statistics in support of an otherwise unsound argument. As video essays go, the piece is fairly simple (and not very original, I might add). A calm yet pointed voiceover artist hits all the right notes; a sinister soundtrack complements his perfect intonation. To paraphrase (liberally): “Hey, you! Look at these fancy bar graphs! Watch them move and grow! See? Wealth inequality in America isn’t just far worse than most people think it is; it’s far worse than most people think it should be. Scary stuff, eh? The disparities between ideal levels of wealth inequality, presumed levels of wealth inequality, and real levels of wealth inequality are so visually compelling that it leads to only one conclusion — we must act! We must ‘Wake up!’ to the harsh reality of wealth inequality in our country and do something to fix it! Now! Before it’s too late!” As a hyper-emotional plea for action, the video is pure genius. But as an argument for why wealth inequality is the greatest crisis facing America today, the piece is pure drivel. For starters, the video makes two fundamental errors right out of the gate. First, the filmmaker mistakenly equates “wealth” with “income.” While wealth and income are

related concepts, they simply aren’t one and the same. Wealth includes income, of course, but it entails a lot more than just money. Broadly speaking, one’s wealth encompasses not only monetary interests — including income, assets, and physical property — but also intangible goods like convenience, love, and leisure time. The video purports to demonstrate vast wealth disparity in America, when in fact it’s only showing us the variance in net worth across our society. This is a subtle, but very important distinction. If we take into account a broader view of wealth, we’d realize that Americans of all income brackets are far wealthier today than any society in the history of human civilization. If we consider more nuanced measures of “wealth” — things such as square footing of homes, access to running water, ease of mobility/ transportation, daily caloric intake, and access to information — we’d quickly realize that relative measures of income and net worth aren’t necessarily the most informative data for assessing the state of our society. In fact, I’d argue that in many fundamental respects — access to food, clothing, and shelter, for instance — the “poor” and the “rich” in America are more equal today than ever before. The second glaring error of the video is that while it points out the disparity of income in society, it completely ignores the phenomena

That seems to be the new motto for city council after they passed two ordinances on first reading Thursday: a healthy living initiative that bans tobacco in parks, and huge 100-200 percent cemetery fee increases. ❐ Big bust. Former Buckhannon police officer and current Lewis County sheriff Adam Gissy racked up 15 drugrelated arrests this week. Wow. But where are they going to put all these people? State legislators really need to stop worrying about Google Glass and figure out some solutions to the

drug and prison overcrowding problems in West Virginia. Maybe it’s time to consider something wild like decriminalizing marijuana. But no smoking it in parks! ❐ No negotiation. Shortly after state senate president Jeff Kessler announced that threats against legislators had derailed pro-gun legislation, what was the response from the W.Va. Citizen’s Defense League?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Please don’t cut VISTA Dear Editor: The project “Traveling 219: a Trip Through History on the Seneca Trail” has for the past two and a half years worked to tell the stories of the people and places along US 219 in West Virginia. We have written newspaper articles, produced audio stories for WV Public Radio, and developed a website, www.traveling219.com. All along, we’ve been following in the footsteps of the folks who documented these same communities 70-plus years ago through the New Deal Federal Writers Project. At that time, the FWP project was increasingly under attack by congressional leaders who said it was a waste of taxpayer money, and in 1941 the Federal Writers’ Project was shut down. A portion of their work was published in the 1942 volume “West Virginia: A Guide to the Mountain State”, a comprehensive telling of our state’s story and the first ever travel guide to West Virginia. But 90% of their work did not make it into the Guide. Those writings

have sat in archives virtually untouched for all these years. When we began going through the archives of this writing, we found countless untold stories, retracing us back to a time when West Virginia was in the midst of the Great Depression. In 2010 when we decided to begin our “rebirth of the Federal Writers’ Project,” we never realized how much our own times would prove to mirror those of the Depression years. Just as the New Deal work programs were cut in the early 1940s, we’ve just learned that in 2013 federal budget cuts due to the Sequester have led to a slashing of VISTA programs. AmeriCorps VISTAs in West Virginia will not be able to renew their terms of service in West Virginia next year, and no new VISTAs will be placed until November at the earliest. Traveling 219 was built by the work of AmeriCorps VISTAs, including myself, who developed the project as a VISTA volunteer. Other states are not experiencing these harshest of budget cuts to their VISTA programs.

Predicting the actions of the Supreme Court, even for someone who has studied its history extensively, is risky business. And as the court tackles the issue of same-sex marriage bans, such as the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act and California’s Proposition 8, hundreds of people are still managing to do just that. I guess I’m one of them. The Court is not likely to find the bans constitutional — they aren’t. The constitution provides rights (freedoms) to Americans. It does not (usually) restrict them. At the same time, the Court is highly unlikely to make a decision that would allow same-sex marriage in all 50 states. Striking down bans is not the same as allowing same-sex marriage to occur, in a legal sense. States without recent bantype laws still often don’t provide marriage licenses to same sex couples. Only nine states actually do. The differences in the decisions on bans like Proposition 8 and on laws like the Defense of Marriage Act are important. Proposition 8 was listed on state ballot and chosen by popular vote. Striking down that ban takes personal rights, to some extent, out of the hands of the voters. Which is exactly what the constitution was intended to do. (We never voted on freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and so on. These issues were deemed self-evident and unfit for a vote.) It has become a common practice for state and local governments, when dealing with constitutionally shaky issues, to put the issue to a popular vote in order to avoid or at least postpone judicial scrutiny. But the courts hold sway over all laws — even ones that were put to a popular vote. The Defense of Marriage Act was enacted by Congress — and striking it down would be very similar to the Court’s usual, everyday business of providing a check on the power of the legislature. Since both bans are unconstitutional, the outcomes will be lumped together by the media (much like the cases were) in spite of the fact that the outcomes and effects will be different. No surprises here — I fully support gay marriage. I truly believe that who another person chooses is none of my concern. In a free country, we should be free to make both the most important and the most subtle choices that define our lives — so long as our choices do not hurt others — on our own. I don’t want my daughter to grow up with this debate. I don’t want her ever wondering whether some people have an inferior lifestyle to others based on something they can’t control.

FROM THE HILL TO THE MOUNTAINS

West Virginia’s prescription drug abuse epidemic has to stop By Sen. Joe Manchin It’s time to put an end to the prescription drug abuse epidemic that is devastating the lives of too many West Virginians. So many of our fellow citizens have been affected by this epidemic, their heartache so real – parents bailing their children out of jail and putting them in rehab centers, children watching their parents throw away their lives to get just one more pill, families burying loved ones after a fatal overdose. It has to stop. Our beautiful state and our great people are not immune to this epidemic. In 2010 alone,

512 West Virginians died from drug overdose – a 353 percent increase since 2000. Emergency room visits have increased by 33 percent in just six years and painkillers now result in more deaths than heroin and cocaine combined. And police confiscations of prescription drugs have increased almost 31 percent in just nine years. According to the National Drug Control Policy, prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug abuse problem in the United States, responsible for roughly 75 percent of all drug-related deaths. In West Virginia, they are the cause of 90 percent of overdose deaths. It has to stop.

That is why I have designed legislation called the “Safe Prescribing Act.” The bill will make it more difficult to abuse addictive pain medication by reclassifying drugs containing hydrocodone from a Schedule III to a Schedule II controlled substance, while maintaining specific protections already in place for legitimate pain patients. The “Safe Prescribing Act” will help prevent patients from becoming dependent on hydrocodone products by requiring an original prescription from doctors for each refill. It will make it harder for people who do not use the drugs for medical reasons to get their hands on

these addictive medicines. I promise you, though, that for our seniors, miners, disaster victims and those who suffer from debilitating injuries and rely on medication for chronic pain, this measure will not affect their access. It limits the prescription length to 90 days per doctor visit, which will require patients to visit their doctors only four times a year at the most. Another key provision in the “Safe Prescribing Act” is the requirement that pharmacies keep hydrocodone drugs in locked cages or dispersed randomly on the shelves with Schedule III through Schedule V drugs to prevent the kinds of

names attached to a decision that could later been seen as narrow-minded. The question is whether the court will rule broadly in favor of gay marriage or merely strike down these particular statutes. Tuesday’s red square takeover of Facebook was pretty awesome. The tide has turned. Let’s get this over with already.

❐ Coming out. Sen. Jay Rockefeller recently came out against the Defense of Marriage Act, reversing his previous position. “Like so many of my generation, my views on allowing gay couples to marry have been challenged in recent years by a new, more open generation,” Rockefeller said in a statement. “Churches and ministers should never have to perform marriages that violate

their religious beliefs but the government shouldn’t discriminate against people who want to marry just because of their gender.” Rockefeller called for an outright repeal of DOMA. “Younger people in West Virginia and even my own children have grown up in a much more equal society and they rightly push us to question old assumptions,” he said. “To think deeply about what it means for all

Americans to be created equal. This has been a process for me, but at this point I think it’s clear that DOMA is discriminatory. I’m against discrimination in all its forms and I think we can move forward in our progress toward true equality by repealing DOMA.” According to the Charleston Daily Mail, West Virginia’s other senator, Joe Manchin, still supports the Defense of Marriage Act.

VISTA is a program that is intended to fight poverty. What a good VISTA realizes is that we are all experiencing poverty, the rich and the poor, if we are not connected to others and challenged to work with both our minds and our hearts. That type of experience is not available to many college graduates today. The VISTA program is one of the best opportunities we have to keep young West Virginians in West Virginia. Please call your Congressional representative to tell them how you feel about West Virginia’s VISTA cuts. If you would like to learn more about the project I helped to build as

an AmeriCorps VISTA, visit www.Traveling219.com. We are working to re-engage the next generation of West Virginians to be proud of what we are- our mountain ridges laced with snow, our rivers spilling across limestone rock. Along every crooked West Virginia road, good people are speaking to us from their porches, their voices to the wind but their faces braced with endurance. They are reminding us not to turn the next corner without remembering what came before.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Letter

From Page 4A West Virginia VISTA programs have been slashed by 50 percent, as opposed to a 10 percent cut in VISTA programs nationwide. VISTA was started as an anti-poverty program 48 years ago, and VISTAs in West Virginia work in education, child welfare, senior programs, libraries, environmental groups, health programs and many more community service projects. On a personal level, one thing about being a VISTA is that you are offered an experience that will make you grow and learn new things about

But when Pauline Baker told me that the neighborhood children, rich and poor, all learned to swim in the old blue bubbling waters of the recently vacated Sweet Springs Resort, I could have melted into the worlds that she had conjured up. Hazel Shrader, also of Monroe County, told me about the hungry people who used to walk down the highway, picking up apples to eat. In Huntington, she said, people were so hungry, they had to put guards on the dumpsters because children were breaking in to the garbage to find something to fill their empty bellies.

The debate itself is insulting and ridiculous. Every American is equal. Every American is free. In 2013, I should never even have to type that. I’m ranting now — I realize that. And although I know I cannot predict or affect the decision of the Supreme Court, I’m trying anyway. And I’m hoping that I’m wrong. Because the best thing that could happen to this country right now would be for the court to definitively end this debate, on the side of personal rights and progress, once and for all. Our country needs to focus on other issues — as one set of people. Issues that divide us should always be settled in a way that unites us. Issues that deem us unequal should always be solved in a way that equalizes us.

Questions about W.Va. education bureaucracy linger By LAWRENCE MESSINA Associated Press CHARLESTON (AP) — Bureaucracy emerged as a major culprit in a wide-ranging audit of West Virginia’s education system, but the legislation passed last week at the request of Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin focuses mostly on other targets. Approved Friday by the House, Tomblin’s proposal tackles another big audit topic: inflexible school policies. The plan rewrites laws on educator hiring and transfers, and frees up counties to plan calendars that provide 180 days of student instruction. But several lawmakers questioned whether the legislation preserves a system that deprives classrooms of needed funding by keeping money at the state level. House Republicans tried without success to deepen cuts to the state

Department of Education, with one of the five failed GOP amendments in advance of Friday’s vote. House Minority Leader Tim Armstead challenged the bill’s focus while citing the audit’s findings. Calling for more resources devoted to schools and county districts, the study found that only Alaska had more state-level education employees when measured against students. “What screams out of this audit, in almost every page, is that we are spending most of our resources, most of our energy, most of our effort in our educational system too far at the top,� said Armstead, a Kanawha County Republican. “We have an extremely top-heavy system.� Released in early 2012, the audit report counted one state department staffer for every 419 students. Compared with its five neighbors, West Virginia has four

times to 11 times as many statelevel employees when measured against student populations. Even after excluding department staff assigned to correctional facilities and such settings as the Schools for the Deaf and Blind in Romney, West Virginia would still rank in the Top 10 for state-level employees, the report said. “We need to shift the focus from Charleston to the local level and reduce the number of bureaucrats that control our educational system,� Armstead argued during Thursday’s amendment debate. While Armstead’s proposal was rejected 44-52 — nearly along party lines — the vote was the closest among the five of the GOP amendments. Among other arguments, the majority Democrats cited how the Senate Education Committee had added mandatory cuts in the bill. The department must trim personnel spending by

5 percent during each of the next two budget years. Department officials estimate that will shave $2 million off its annual budget by the second year. They noted that the personnel cuts exempt classroom positions but do apply to the practice of hiring recently retired educators as temporary contract employees, offering another way to reduce staff. The department had begun heeding the audit’s call to cut its ranks in advance of Tomblin’s ongoing push to improve public schools. Before her abrupt November firing as state schools superintendent, Jorea Marple had identified 30 vacant positions, which then remained unfilled unless deemed critical. The Board of Education’s response to the audit estimated that this step would reduce annual spending by $1.2 million. The board also has continued

another process begun under Marple, to reorganize department offices and programs around goals instead of whether their funding comes from federal, state or other sources. That has allowed the department to consolidate several upper-level jobs, the board’s audit response said. But the board was criticized by some lawmakers earlier this month when it voted to create a new executive post, director of operations, at an annual salary of $104,000. During the Senate’s review of Tomblin’s bill, state schools Superintendent James Phares explained that this new administrator will act as a gobetween for the board and the department. “So you need a liaison between the two?� asked Senate Majority John Unger, D-Berkeley. “I thought you were the liaison.� Critics of the department’s size

also have questioned the decision by Tomblin and the board to shift some of its duties to the Regional Educational Resource Agencies. President Judy Hale of the American Federation of Teachers-West Virginia is among those who consider these regional agencies another layer of bureaucracy. Left largely unmentioned this session, meanwhile, is local-level bureaucracy. The board noted in its December response to the audit that of the 55 county school systems, 28 have fewer than 4,000 students. Of those, 14 have half that number and four are at or below 1,000 students. “The system of 55 local county boards of education and all the associated administration has been the third rail of educational politics, but the Board has determined that a meaningful dialogue surrounding this issue must occur,� the audit response said.

Policy change to speed up W.Va. background checks CHARLESTON (AP) — The West Virginia State Police is making it easier for organizations that serve children, the elderly and disabled individuals to obtain the results of federal background checks of potential employees. The agency has revised its policy to allow the state’s background check contractor, Mor-

phoTrust, to submit potential employees’ fingerprints to the FBI. MorphoTrust would receive the results and provide them to the employer. Previously, the employer had to obtain the fingerprints from MorphoTrust and submit them to the FBI with a signed released from the job seeker. The job

seeker would receive the results and provide them to the employer. “We’re excited about it. It does exactly what we wanted it to do. It works well for our population, because there’s not another process or mechanism,� Mark Drennan, executive director of the West Virginia Behavioral Health Care Providers Association, told

the Charleston Daily Mail. Drennan said the old process was cumbersome and potentially dangerous because job seekers could tamper with the results. “It’ll cause better information that goes back to the individual entities that are making decisions about foster parents or volunteers and employees, and it will speed up the process,� said Scott Boileau, executive director of the Alliance for Children, Inc. “I’m encouraged.� Drennan and Boileau had been working with state lawmakers to draft a bill that would streamline the state’s background check system. They say that legislation is no longer necessary. Boileau and Drennan appeared before the Legislature’s

Select Committee on PEIA, Seniors and Long Term Care in January to discuss problems their organizations were having with the state background check system and with MorphoTrust. Drennan said MorphoTrust didn’t have enough locations in the state to accommodate all areas. This caused delays before some employers received the results of background checks for potential employees. There also were billing problems. Some businesses were billed multiple times for the same background statements. Others received statements intended for other businesses. MorphoTrust has been working to correct these problems. “It doesn’t matter to me how

big or small the state is, we gave our word this thing would operate right,� said Charles Carroll, MorphoTrust senior vice president. “We have big customers. I have New York, Texas, a number of very big states. We’ve never had any difficulties with them.� The company has increased its locations in West Virginia from 12 to 17. Two more locations are planned in the next month or so. Carroll said the company also wants to establish a card scanning center in West Virginia, which would provide a quicker turnaround time for state background checks when clients’ fingerprints must be taken using the ink-andpaper method. Fingerprint cards are now shipped to Nashville, Tenn.

Huntington targets residential junk HUNTINGTON (AP) — Beginning in July, Huntington residents will no longer be able to keep couches on their front porches. A new ordinance prohibits residents from storing upholstered furniture, mattresses and other items that aren’t intended

for outdoor use on porches or in front yards. Building materials also can’t be stored outdoors unless they’re for a permitted project on the property. Media outlets report that City Council approved the ordinance Monday. It goes into effect July 1.

Violators will face fines of up to $500, a 30-day jail sentence, or both. While driving to City Hall on Monday, Councilman Scott Casera says he counted seven couches and four reclining chairs on porches in an eightblock area.

of income mobility. That is, while any given snapshot of data might suggest American incomes are skewed grossly to the well-to-do, nothing prevents someone in the lower quintile from making his or her way over time into the infamous 1 percent. In other words — even if we assume that income inequality is greater now than ever before, America is still a country where anyone with ambition, a solid work ethic, and the ability to make sound personal decisions can improve herself and rise over time into higher income brackets. By glossing over this fact, the video assumes we live in some sort of caste system, where the “poor� and “untouchable� are relegated at birth to a life-long fate. This is not the America of my experience, nor the America of countless other friends, family, and acquaintances I’ve observed first-hand over the course of my 37 years. Unfortunately, an emotionally-charged video like “Wealth Inequality in America� preys upon the weakest of human emotions — envy. Particularly in these difficult economic times, its message resonates with those who seek to cast blame and punish success. Though emotionally compelling, there are real consequences to so-called policy “solutions� that aim to redistribute income and “wealth� in a society to achieve some sort of presumed “equality� or “fairness.� We should reject arguments that fuel animosity and strife between our citizens, and focus instead on embracing those opportunities that enable each to live out our American dream, however we define it. Have an exceptional day!

STATE NEWS

Bill would hike full-time students’ tuition By DAVID GUTMAN Associated Press CHARLESTON (AP) — As West Virginia colleges and universities try to account for Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s 7.5 percent budget cuts, a bill in the state Senate would let six of them change how they calculate tuition. The bill would create a pilot program that lets those schools charge tuition by the credit hour rather than by the semester. It would likely result in significant increases in tuition for full-time students, and decreases for parttimers. The Senate expects to vote on the bill on Wednesday. For financial aid purposes, the federal government classifies someone who takes 12 credit hours per semester (generally four courses) as a full-time stu-

dent, although 15 credit hours per semester are usually required to graduate on time. In West Virginia, students who take a minimum of 12 credit hours are all charged the same semester rate, even if they are enrolled for 15 or 18 credits. This bill would let schools recoup the costs of those extra credits by charging for each credit hour above 12. The bill was requested by Pierpont Community and Technical College, which has pledged to cut planned tuition rates if the bill passes. Pierpont President Doreen Larson said the current tuition system is based on an outdated view of the college experience. “This model is based on an old style four-year model where you leave home, go to campus, are a full-time student,” Larson said.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

“Often the test of courage is not to die but to live.” — Vittorio Alfieri, Italian dramatist (1749-1803)

“Our students are no longer like that even in four-year schools.” At Pierpont, just 40 percent of students take more than 12 credit hours per term and would see tuition rise. Across the statewide community college system, that number drops to 30 percent, according to state data. But if other participating colleges did not follow Pierpont’s lead and correspondingly cut tuition rates to accompany the change, it would mean substantial tuition increases for full-time students. Up to two other community colleges and three four-year colleges could participate in the program. The number of students impacted at four-year colleges would be much greater. More than 75 percent of the students in West Virginia’s four-

CHARLESTON (AP) — The leader of West Virginia’s Roman Catholic community has joined the chorus urging Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin to expand Medicaid to cover more low-income residents. Bishop Michael J. Bransfield wrote the governor Friday, citing deep concerns about the health and wellbeing of West Virginians he’s developed in his eight years with the Diocese of WheelingCharleston and its 83,000 or so Catholics. “Catholic social teaching supports adequate and affordable health care for all,” Bransfield’s letter said. “Our national and state health care policy must protect human life and dignity, not threaten them, especially for the most voiceless and vulnerable.” The federal health care law

TAX TI PS Tax Rules on Early Withdrawals from Retirement Plans Taking money out early from your retirement plan can cost you an extra ½0 percent in taxes. Here are five things you should know about early withdrawals from retirement plans. An early withdrawal normally means taking money from your plan, such as a 40½(k), before you reach age 59½ You must report the amount you withdrew from your retirement plan to the IRS. You may have to pay an additional ½0 percent tax on your withdrawal. The additional ½0 percent tax normally does not apply to nontaxable withdrawals. Nontaxable withdrawals include withdrawals of your cost in participating in the plan. Your cost includes contributions that you paid tax on before you put them into the plan.

percent if the bill passes and still bring in enough money to cover most of the 7.5 percent budget cuts. But there’s no guarantee that other schools would follow suit. If, hypothetically, all 11 four-year colleges and universities were to charge by the credit hour, it would cover all planned budget cuts and bring in an additional $100 million in revenue. Senate Majority Leader John Unger complimented Pierpont for looking for innovative ways to deal with the budget cuts. He said that he hoped that public pressure and market forces would encourage other colleges to cut tuition if they participated in the pilot project. West Liberty University President Robin Capehart said his school was interested in the pilot project.

“Right now if a student pays tuition they can take as many hours as they want and many times that can create a situation where students are taking excess hours for which the college has to basically provide professors,” Capehart said. But Capehart said that they would prefer to charge only for students who took more than 15 credit hours, as that is the number that is required to graduate on time. A memorandum from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission warns that students taking heavy course loads may resort to student loans to cover additional costs. This, the memorandum says, “Will contribute to the state’s growing student loan debt and potentially default rates.”

West Virginia diocese joins call for expanding Medicaid By LAWRENCE MESSINA Associated Press

year colleges and universities take a full course load and would see substantial tuition increases under the pilot project, absent other changes. Students taking 15 credit hours per semester would see their tuition rise by an average of $1,422 per year. The change would disproportionately affect students on PROMISE Scholarships, who must average 15 credit hours per semester to remain eligible. The change would seem likely to dissuade students from taking heavier course loads, as those additional credits would no longer be subsidized. Students would then take longer to complete their degrees. Charging tuition by the credit hour could bring in so much additional revenue that Pierpont will cut planned tuition rates by 9

calls on states to open their Medicaid programs starting next year to cover people earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level. That’s around $32,500 for a family of four. Nearly two-thirds of West Virginians without insurance would qualify, or around 166,000 people. Expansion supporters estimate at least 100,000 would enroll. When it upheld the law, the U.S. Supreme Court also ruled that states could choose not to expand and still keep current federal Medicaid funding. At least 14 states have since done so. Tomblin is one of only two Democratic governors who have yet to decide whether to expand. About 18 percent of West Virginians rely on Medicaid for health care, the 12th-largest program among the states when measured against population.

IRS TAX TIP 2013-#

If you transfer a withdrawal from one qualified retirement plan to another within 60 days, the transfer is a rollover. Rollovers are not subject to income tax. The added ½0 percent tax also does not apply to a rollover. There are several other exceptions to the additional ½0 percent tax. These include withdrawals if you have certain medical expenses or if you are disabled. Some of the exceptions for retirement plans are different from the rules for IRAs.

But the state also has one of the strictest eligibility policies. Adults must have children and earn no more than 35 percent of the poverty line, or around $8,240 for a family of four. As a result, most West Virginians on Medicaid are blind or disabled, seniors or children. The program’s existing costs — Tomblin has budgeted $900 million for the state’s share of its funding in his proposed 2013-2014 spending plan — has prompted the governor to await an analysis of the financial pros and cons of expanding. Spokeswoman Amy Shuler Goodwin said the administration continues to review available information “so we may make the best decision for the state.” “We are pleased to see so many organizations involved in this important discussion,” Goodwin said Monday.

Federal dollars already cover nearly two-thirds of West Virginia’s Medicaid costs. The federal law promises full funding of expansion for the first three years, with the state’s share gradually increasing to 10 percent by 2020. Bransfield wrote that the estimated 3.2 percent increase in the state’s spending is worth the resulting health care access. “Such an effort underscores West Virginians’ traditional concern for the dignity of all,” his letter said of expansion. “It reflects the teachings of Our Savior who in his own life and work reached out to heal the sick and care for the poor.” Bransfield noted that other U.S. bishops have endorsed Medicaid expansion. Supporters of increasing access to West Virginia’s program include the “Our Children, Our Future” coalition of child advocacy groups.

W.Va. House moves blood testing bill for drugged drivers CHARLESTON (AP) — A bill passed by the W.Va. House Judiciary Committee would take the licenses of drivers who refuse a blood test after an arrest. Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin proposed the change to try to crack down on drugged driving in the state. Currently drivers can lose their licenses for refusing a breath test after being arrested, but breath tests are useless for detecting drugs. State police say

they need to use blood tests to prosecute drugged drivers. The bill passed on a split voice vote Tuesday after contentious debate. Opponents of the bill said a blood test is a much more invasive search than a breath test. They were also concerned that the legislation does not set specific guidelines for what levels of drugs in the blood are considered intoxicating.

Both publications are available at IRS.gov or by calling 800-TAX-FORM (800-829-3676). As we approach another Resurrection Sunday, and as candy sales and bunnies flourish again, and as egg hunts continue to be popular at such an important time in Christian History, this Word fits perfectly. Oh you say. “Its about the children having fun!” Well nothing about the true meaning of what we have come to know as “Easter” is “fun” when we think about the Cross where Jesus died. Nothing about the Passion of the Christ is “fun” when we realize the price He paid for the sins of the world. Nothing is “fun” when we contemplate of the cruel mocking and beating He took for our salvation. It is a time for deep reflection for the souls of men, including our own at such a season. “The time will come”, and it is here. Popular preaching today does not involve the Cross, the Blood Shed, the reality of Hell, the second death that awaits those resurrected to face the “White Throne Judgment” and eternal damnation for all who reject God’s answer for sin according to Holy Writ. We have “popularized” church services to “fit” the trend of today, believing we have got to conform to the “Now Generation’s expectation” of current lies, many coming from heads of government, certain church denominations, and idols from Hollywood and sport icons. “The days will come”, well they are already here. Ask Bill Clinton, Clint Eastwood, Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama, the Boy Scouts. Few there be today that can tolerate sound Bible preaching. Few there be that will support ministries or ministers that “speak the truth in love”. For one, they do not know what that really means, but they view those who persist in doing so as fear mongers, and haters, simply because we do not, nor will not conform to today’s popular opinions, especially where morality is involved. They believe we have no right to “offend” but need to be brought into bondage by current mind-sets that stand in opposition to Sound Doctrine. Many are the deceivers , like loose canons, aimed at those who still stand for righteousness. They may kill us, but never will they destroy the tenants of our faith! Shortly the Highest Court in the land will rule on “same-sex marriage”. They will find it “unconstitutional”. And thus force “states” to reverse their resistance to not allowing it. It is being petitioned by those in high positions of government, entertainment and some in the church. They do not want to read the Apostles letters, like that of “Jude” I assure you. Accepting the “current trend” although popular for the moment, does not equate to what is right according to the truth fully disclosed in God’s Word. As for me and my house...(Joshua 24:14-15) David R. Martin, Ambassador for Christ

Feds target false billing scheme at Alpha CHARLESTON (AP) — Three now-former employees of Alpha Natural Resources and the owner of one of its major suppliers will plead guilty to ripping off the coal operator with false invoices, federal prosecutors said Monday. U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin unveiled wire fraud and aiding and abetting charges against Edward Ellis Mullins, 41, of Peytona, Joey R. Phalin, 36, of Crab Orchard, Nicholas R. Coleman, 29, of Lester, and Donald Bryan Steele, 43, of Barboursville. Steele owns M&S Hydraulics, while the others were local sourcing agents for mines along W.Va. Route 3 in Boone and Raleigh counties that Alpha acquired when it bought Massey Energy in mid-2011. Assigned to order needed goods and services, these agents obtained cash and gifts from M&S — and apparently other suppliers — by having them paid for through false billings to Alpha, prosecutors said. U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin called Monday’s charges the first step in an ongoing criminal probe, and likened such cheating of an employer to accepting bribes. “Schemes like this create unfair obstacles for suppliers who want to do business honestly,� Goodwin said in a statement. “They drive up prices for everyone. There’s no place for that in the American economy.� A vehicle-equipment supplier alerted Alpha after Mullins asked it to provide tires and wheels for the personal vehicles of his and other Alpha employees in November 2011. Mullins was the agent for subsidiary Elk Run Coal. Alpha contacted the FBI and the State Police. The resulting investigation revealed roles in the scheme by Phalin and Coleman, agents for subsidiary Marfork Coal, prosecutors said. The FBI and the State Police confronted Steele last month. All four are cooperating with investigators.

STATE NEWS

County OKs $8.5M budget, slight increase of current budget Includes revenue from proposed 911 fee hike By Amanda Hayes Senior Staff Writer BUCKHANNON — The Upshur County Commission has tentatively approved an $8.5 million budget for the next fiscal year. During a special meeting Tuesday, the commissioners signed off on the document which is due to the Office of the State Auditor Thursday, March 28. Pending approval there, the commission will reconvene April 16 to officially adopt the levy rate and budget together. The budget is a slight increase over last year’s $8.3 million budget. County administrator William Parker said coal severance was estimated at $147,500 down from $348,084 last year.

That decrease is due not only to the decrease in coal mining activity in Upshur County but the overall decrease in production around the state, according to Parker. The budget also includes revenue from a proposed increase in the E-911 fee that the commission will vote on April 4. If that does not happen, then there will have to be changes to the budget before the April 16 hearing, according to Parker. The budget also factors in a 14.26 levy rate on Class I, 28.52 percent over Class II, 57.04 percent for Class III and Class IV. Last year’s rate was 14.23 percent on Class I. Nearly all constitutional offices received more money for next year with a few exceptions. Parker said the county com-

mission’s budget reduction to $588,000 from $650,642 reflects a reduction in expected funds from the state and or federal sources and a reduction in capital expenditures. Under the elections part of the county reflection’s budget, the amount budgeted is $104,963, down from $110,066 due to a reduction in personnel for the lesser number of elections. Under law enforcement, the budget reflects a decrease in capital expenditures from $100,000 to $82,000. Service of process was also reduced due to a reduction in overtime and related personnel costs, according to Parker. That reduction goes from $79,314 to $73,942. Property tax revenue is up over $300,000 but most of that

is because valuations are up and $70 million in new property was added in the county over the last year, according to Parker. But due to the decrease in coal severance, between the general county fund and coal severance funds, the county is up just $15,000 in revenue over last year, according to Parker. The budget does include a $5,000 increase in operations for Stockert Youth Center. The city had requested previously an increase in funding from $25,000 to $30,000. Parker said previously the commission allowed for $20,000 in operations with $5,000 towards the capital campaign. For 20132014, the commission put all $25,000 towards the operations budget and nothing towards the capital campaign.

W.Va. municipal gun laws likely to remain CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia Senate President Jeffrey Kessler says a bill that would eliminate municipal gun restrictions in four cities is unlikely to proceed. The bill passed the House with overwhelming support and recent rallies have urged its passage in the Senate. It would create uniform state gun laws and nullify more restrictive gun ordinances in Charleston, South Charleston, Dunbar and Martinsburg. The bill has been assigned to the Senate Committee on Government Organization. Committee Chairman Herb Snyder said he has received approximately 10 threatening phone calls and three emails related to the bill’s passage. “They said, ‘We’re going to drive by your house,’ “ the Jefferson County Democrat told The Associated Press last week. “Another one was, ‘If the bill doesn’t pass, you won’t go home from Charleston.’ It’s quite threatening.” Kessler said Tuesday that those threats were part of the reason for stalling the bill. “Not on my watch, not ever,” Kessler said of the threats, calling them way out of line and overzealous. The West Virginia Citizens Defense League, a pro-gun lobbying group, held rallies on Saturday in Martinsburg and Charleston. The rallies were aimed at Snyder and Senate Judiciary Chairman Corey Palumbo. In Charleston, rallygoers held signs calling Palumbo a tyrant and comparing gun control regulations with Hitler’s policies. Kessler also says that the affected cities are resisting the bill. He said that if people want those city laws overturned, they should work at the local level to do that. Keith Morgan, president of the WVCDL, said in an email message that his group would campaign against Kessler for the next three years, until he is up for re-election. “We already have people from his district gravitating to the effort,” Morgan said. “He’s going to be very familiar with us by 2016.”

Supreme Court suspends judge until term ends CHARLESTON (AP) — A West Virginia family court judge will remain suspended without pay for misconduct until his term ends in late 2016, a unanimous state Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a decision concluding that court has the power to impose such a punishment. The opinion also orders Putnam County Family Court Judge William Watkins to pay the costs of the disciplinary case against him, establishing that as a sanction in such matters. Former Family Court Judge Deloris Nibert has been filling in for Watkins since he began a medical leave of absence in January. The Supreme Court appointed Nibert as his successor Tuesday. The Judicial Investigation Commission alleged that Watkins delayed rulings, refused to file domestic violence orders with a statewide registry as required by law, and screamed and cursed at people appearing before him in court. The Judicial Hearing Board had recommended consecutive, one-year suspensions without pay. Tuesday’s ruling adopts that sanction and censures Watkins for 24 separate judicial conduct violations, finding that each represented “a profound threat to the integrity of the judiciary.” A lawyer for Watkins could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday. The defense argued at a Supreme Court hearing last month that consecutive terms of suspension amounted to an illegal attempt to remove Watkins from office. Writing for the court, Justice Menis Ketchum rejected that stance. “This Court has the inherent power to inquire into the conduct of justices, judges and magistrates, and to impose any disciplinary measures short of impeachment that it deems necessary to preserve and enhance public confidence in the judiciary,” the decision said. The West Virginia Constitution allows only the Legislature to impeach and remove judges.

W.Va. seat belt bill set for House vote Thursday CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia’s House of Delegates is back on track to vote on whether to allow traffic stops for failure to wear a seat belt. Legislation making that violation a primary offense has idled since the House Judiciary Committee endorsed it March 12. The bill had advanced on a narrow 13-11 vote. Opponents argue seat belt use is a matter of personal responsibility. Supporters estimate it would boost seat belt use by up to 7 percent. The House Rules Committee returned the bill to the active schedule on Monday. It’s up for a vote on passage Thursday. West Virginia is among 16 states that treat failure to wear a seat belt as a secondary offense. That means drivers can be cited only when they’re pulled over for some other violation.

W.Va. House committee OKs Sunday alcohol sales CHARLESTON (AP) — West Virginia lawmakers are again considering repealing the ban on Sunday liquor sales. A measure advancing this week would also permit Sunday beer and wine sales after 10 a.m. on Sundays. They’re now allowed only after 1 p.m. on those days. The House Judiciary Committee endorsed the bill Monday. It amended the bill so counties can vote on whether to move up the time bars and clubs must stop selling alcohol from 3 a.m. to 2 a.m. The bill advances to House Finance. It must clear that committee by Friday, under a House procedural deadline. Similar measures have arisen during several recent legislative sessions, but have yet to pass.

Arnold stated they had four water leaks in the month of February, issuing two boil water advisories. “We were able to isolate the leaks very quickly and less than 25 customers were affected by the boil water notices,” Arnold said. “It is always our goal to make the water as safe as possible.”

Arnold also announced that the water plant received a good review after an inspection by the health department. He also said notices will start to appear in local papers in regard to the city’s hydroflushing that will begin on April 15. Finally, council approved two 5K runs.

Baseball ‘Cats sweep Pioneers in three-game weekend series BUCKHANNON — West Virginia Wesleyan’s Bobcats swept a three-game West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Southern Division series from Glenville State’s Pioneers here over the weekend. The ‘Cats downed the Pioneers in a doubleheader Saturday, eking out a 7-6 decision in the opener, and taking the second outing, 5-2. And on Sunday, the Bobcats blanked the Pioneers by a 3-0 count on a classy five-hitter by Andrew Ornes. The three victories gave the ‘Cats an overall record of 8-11 and put their WVIAC and Southern Division ledger at 3-0. In Saturday’s first contest, Ryan Lewicki drove in a run with a double, and Aaron Wiegel smacked a run-scoring single to put the Bobcats on top by a 2-0 count in the first inning.

After the Pioneers knotted it in the top of the fourth, the ‘Cats went back in front with two in the tailend of the frame on a passed ball and a sacrifice fly by Matt Edwards. The Pioneers grabbed a 5-4 lead with a three-run spurt in the upper half of the fifth, but the Bobcats answered with a pair to regain the lead, at 6-5. Glenville deadlocked it in sixth, but the ‘Cats pulled out the win in the bottom of the seventh on a Nick Jones single. Aaron Adams started on the hill for Wesleyan and lasted 4 2/3 innings, surrendering eight hits and five runs, walking two and striking out two. Nick Benges tossed one frame, allowing one hit and a run, and issuing a pass, and Casey Defibaugh got the win, fanning three with 1 1/3 perfect innings. Wesleyan collected nine hits,

Lady Bucs run second in debut By Brian Bergstrom Editor POINT PLEASANT — Before Buckhannon-Upshur High School’s best athlete heads to the University of North Carolina in the fall, she has one final season to dazzle crowds in her home state. Emily Godwin wasted no time doing just that, winning four individual events at the first track and field meet of the season, March 19’s HCSM First Call Invitational in Point Pleasant. The senior won the 200-meter dash (27.37 seconds), 400-meter dash (1 minute, 0.95 seconds), 300-meter hurdles (48.39) and long jump (17 feet, 2 inches). Overall, a small but strong Lady Buccaneer squad kicked off the 2013 season with a second place finish, trailing only Winfield High School. Ripley, Scott and Point Pleasant rounded out the top five schools at the 12-team meet. Lauren Cvechko, who has committed to run track and play soccer at West Virginia Wesleyan College next year, captured gold in the 100-meter

hurdles (16.5) and high jump (5-2), while grabbing silver in the 300 hurdles (51.12) and bronze in the 400 (1:04.05). Mackenzie Leigh swept the field events, winning the shot put with a heave of 36-1 and the discus with a throw of 111-2. Megan Wilfong finished second in the latter event (93-6) and third in the shot (32-10). Hannah Stankus gave B-U a third-place finish in the pole vault with a jump of 8 feet, while Peyton Deyner added a pair of fifth place runs in the 400 (1:06.79) and 800 (2:45). Katy Riley rounded out Buckhannon’s individual scoring with a sixth place effort in the long jump (13-3 1/2). In the relays, coach Jackie Zuliani’s teams placed third in both the 4-by-400 (4:49.61) and 4-by-800 (12:09.93) and fifth in the 4-by-100 (57.6) and 4-by-200 (2:00.9). Tuesday’s meet at Lewis County was canceled due to the late-March snowstorm. The Lady Bucs are scheduled to resume their 2013 campaign on Thursday at the St. Albans Invitational.

with J.R. Tenney leading the way with three. Ethan Szabo paced Glenville’s nine-hit attack with a perfect 4-for-4 performance. The ‘Cats took a 1-0 lead in the third stanza of the second outing, with Jones cracking a run-scoring single, and made it 2-0 on Wiegel’s round-tripper in the fourth. Brunswick blasted a three-run double in the sixth to run the score to 5-0. The Pioneers avoided a shutout when Brock McClung belted a two-run homer in the seventh canto. Zack Oliver earned the victory, hurling five innings of one-hit ball. Defibaugh threw two innings in a relief role, giving up three hits and two runs, while whiffing one batter. Ornes walked just one and struck out seven in registering

his first victory of the season Saturday. The ‘Cats opened the scoring in the fourth on Wiegel’s run-scoring double, John Koon doubled home the second marker in the fifth and Corey Lynn drove in the final tally in the sixth with a perfectly executed squeeze bunt. Brunswick had two of Wesleyan’s six hits. The Bobcats are slated to travel to Bluefield for a doublet with the Big Blues Friday and will return home to Hank Ellis Field to take on West Liberty’s Hilltoppers in a twin bill Tuesday afternoon.

Softball Lady Bucs go 2-2 in Eastern Panhandle road trip CHARLES TOWN — The Buckhannon-Upshur Lady Bucs broke even in four road games last weekend. They swept a doubleheader from Hampshire’ Lady Trojans last Friday evening, taking the opener by a 15-9 count and finishing it off with a 10-0 verdict in the nightcap. But on Saturday, they dropped a 6-2 decision to Musselman, and then fell to Washington, 12-2. Coach Tom Hasbrouck’s Lady Bucs exploded on a 23-hit spree in the first victory over Hampshire. Buckhannon scored four in the first frame, two in the second, seven in the fourth and solo markers in the fifth and sixth. Brooklyn Waddell led the barrage with five hits, with Megan Williams belting out four, Claire Davis banging out three and Claire Linger, Lindsey Wagoner and Katy Slaughter adding two apiece. Williams and Wagoner had two doubles apiece, while Davis, Slaughter and Shadie Suder followed with one each. Sarah Ling blasted a triple. Williams hurled the distance to

MEGAN WILLIAMS record the win, allowing 11 hits and six earned runs, not walking a batter and striking out seven. The Lady Bucs cracked out eight hits in the second outing, which was shortened to three innings on the “mercy” rule. Williams led the way with two hits, with Linger, Wagoner, Davis, Slaughter, Julie Tenney and Ling contributing one apiece. Williams notched the victory, surrendering just two singles, while not walking a hitter and

fanning two. She improved to 2-1. “We came out hitting the ball and finished both games strong,” Hasbrouck remarked. Buckhannon’s bats cooled off on Saturday. The Lady Bucs managed only five in the defeat to Musselman, but two were for extra bases. Wagoner blasted a solo homer in the second and Tenney had a double. Davis had two of the Lady Buc safeties. Williams took the loss, giving up 11 hits, walking two and whiffing three. “We knew we were going to have to play well both offensively and defensively against Musselman and Washington, which we did not,” Hasbrouck said. “In the Musselman game, we were in it throughout, but made a bad base-running mistake that took us out of a potential big inning when we were down by two. “Musselman’s pitcher was good, probably as good as we will see all year, and we performed poorly at the plate, striking out 14 times. Musselman was a very strong team, both offensively and defensively, but once we get used to better pitching, we should be

able to compete with them.” In their final action of the weekend, the Lady Bucs collected just five hits in falling to Washington’s Lady Patriots, with two going for extra bases. Wagoner hammered her second round-tripper in as many games, a solo shot in the second stanza, while Cora McDaniels had a two-bagger in the third. Williams drove in the other run with a single in the third. The contest was called after three innings on the “mercy” rule. Ling was charged with the defeat. She allowed eight hits and 11 runs, and walked one in one inning, while Destiny Unrue allowed two hits and a run in one frame. “This game was an embarrassment,” Hasbrouck said. “Megan Wiliams had pitched the two games on Friday and the Musselman game, and asked for a rest. We knew our other pitchers probably were not ready for this caliber of a team, but we had to pitch someone. “We played poorly behind

Johnson leads track Bucs to sixth in opening meet By Brian Bergstrom Editor POINT PLEASANT — Isaac Johnson trounced the competition with a 46-11 throw in the shot put to pace the Buckhannon-Upshur High School Buccaneers at their first track and field meet of the 2013 season. Johnson also finished fourth in the discus at March 19’s HSCM First Call Invitational with a toss of 120 feet, 10 inches, contributing key points to the Buccaneer’s sixth-place finish. Winfield won the meet, with Ripley, Point Pleasant, Roane County and Huntington making up the top five.

The Bucs also saw success in the relay events, winning the 4-by-400 meter relay in 3 minutes, 46.97 seconds. The squad took third in the shuttle hurdles (1:07.32) and fifth in both the 4-by-100 (48.81 seconds) and 4-by-800 (9:42.8). B-U also tallied points with a trio of fifth-place individual finishes — Stetson West in the 400-meter dash (54.1), AaronBoyles in the 300-meter hurdles (48.25) and Marcus Lofton in the high jump (5 feet, 6 inches). Tuesday’s meet at Lewis County was snowed out, but coach Patty Wager’s squad is scheduled to be back in action on Thursday at the St. Albans Invitational.

Morgantown to get new minor-league baseball team MORGANTOWN (AP) — Morgantown will be getting a minor-league baseball team. The Class A New YorkPenn League announced Tuesday it plans to relocate an undisclosed franchise to Morgantown in 2015. The league plays a 76-game season from mid-June through early September. League president Ben Hayes said that “by adding the vibrant northern West Virginia regional community and a top-notch facility that it would share with West Virginia University, we know the New York-Penn League will continue to reach new levels of success.” Hayes said the unnamed Morgantown team would share a new venue with the West Virginia University baseball team. Monongalia County wants to levy a special tax to raise $16 million for a yet-to-bebuilt ballpark. An additional $12 million would improve

We will need to improve our pitching staff. “Our approach to the Washington game was poor, and if we continue to approach games in that way, we will be in for a long season. “The weekend allowed us to see what teams in our region are going to be like, and if we want to get to that level, we will need to be prepared stronger mentally. “We will take what we learned from the weekend to get better as a team.” The Lady Bucs, now 2-3, had their home twin bill with Lincoln’s Lady Cougars snowed out Monday, and their home outing with Robert C.

A bill was passed by the state Senate this month and is now before the House Judiciary Committee. “Both college and minor league baseball fans are hoping that we will soon be able to celebrate (the bill’s) approval and hear the three best words in the English language — ‘let’s play ball,” said WVU athletic director Oliver Luck. Developers have said the ballpark could be completed by next February. Luck has said the stadium also could also host youth baseball events and concerts. It would be the fourth minor-league baseball franchise in the state.

ANDREW REINER/The Record Delta

TENNERTON — Buckhannon-Upshur High School senior ABBY LANTZ (seated, fourth from left) signed her national letter of intent Friday to continue her soccer career at Potomac State College, where she will compete as a member of the Lady Catamounts. Lantz lettered in girls soccer and track and field for three seasons before a knee injury sidelined her during her senior season. During her three-year career as a member of coach Tom Hasbrouck’s Lady Buccaneer soccer team, Lantz recorded 23 goals and helped her team amass a 49-10-3 record over that span. She also competed at the WVSSAC Track and Field Championships three straight seasons, helping the Lady Bucs win back-to-back Class AAA girls state titles in 2010 and 2011, and a state runner-up finish in 2012. She contributed to the Lady Bucs’ three straight state crowns in the shuttle hurdles relay. Also pictured at Thursday’s signing ceremony are (first row, from left): Mark Harper; Potomac State women’s soccer head coach Mark Sprouse; her mother, Tricia Lantz; her father, Clyde Lantz; and her grandmother; Marilyn Walton.

NCAA MEN’S BASKETBALL TOURNAMENT

Family connections a big part of NCAA tournament NOAH TRISTER AP Sports Writer AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (AP) — Tim Hardaway Jr. can take the questions in stride at this point. Any time Michigan is in the national spotlight, his familiar name stands out — and the queries about his father seem inevitable. “It was hard just to try to follow his footsteps, and you try not to worry about it,” Hardaway said. “You try to leave a legacy of your own. It takes a long time to do that.” Hardaway is one of three Michigan players with fathers who were in the NBA, and the Wolverines aren’t the only team with some famous names in this NCAA tournament. John Stockton’s son plays for Gonzaga, and Danny Manning’s is with Kansas. Several of college basketball’s top performers are from athletic families, and some of these players have already conjured memories of generations past. Hardaway scored 21 points to lead Michigan over South Dakota State on Thursday night, and he had plenty of help from Glenn Robinson III, who added 21 of his own for the Wolverines.

Hardaway’s father, of course, was a standout in the NBA, and Robinson’s was a star at Purdue who scored 44 points in a win over Kansas during the 1994 NCAA tournament, before starring in the NBA with the Milwaukee Bucks. The Wolverines also have a backup forward named Jon Horford. His brother Al plays for the Atlanta Hawks, and his father Tito made it to the pros too. It’s a coincidence that Hardaway, Robinson and Horford all ended up at Michigan, but coach John Beilein isn’t shying away from the story line. “We really feel good about it because their dads do know basketball,” Beilein said. “We think that’s always been a feather in our cap to have families. It’s not just the dad involved with all these. There’s a strong mother involved with every single one of these young men, and they’ve had a big part to do with their success as well.” David Stockton has played in all 34 games this season for Gonzaga, the same school his father attended. Kansas actually has three familiar names: Tyler Self, Evan Manning and Niko Roberts. Self is the freshman son of Kansas coach Bill Self, and

Manning is the freshman son of Danny Manning, who led the Jayhawks to the 1988 national title. Roberts, a junior guard, is the son of Norm Roberts, the former St. John’s coach who is in his second year on Self’s staff with the Jayhawks. All three play sparingly off the bench. Don’t think for a moment that they receive any sort of favoritism just because of the name on the back of their jerseys. “Coaches want everybody to play, but obviously it’s not equal opportunity,” Bill Self said. “My wife even understands it, so it’s not a big deal.” Then there’s Montana coach Wayne Tinkle, whose Grizzlies lost to Syracuse on Thursday night in San Jose, Calif. At least the location was convenient. Tinkle’s daughter Joslyn plays at Stanford and took a break from preparing for her own NCAA tournament to watch her dad coach. Joslyn Tinkle watched the game with her brother, mother and two teammates. Her younger sister, Elle, was back at Gonzaga preparing for her NCAA tournament opener on Saturday against Iowa State. “I was actually in the midst of finishing my take-home final

and watching the selection show. I was hoping Montana would pop up in the San Jose bracket,” Joslyn Tinkle said. “As soon as it happened the whole family got excited. It’s really fun to be able to hang out with the family, except my sister. Maybe we’ll get to see her next week. It’s really awesome.” The Tinkle family was juggling two different NCAA tournaments, but the Larkin family extends across two sports. Miami guard Shane Larkin is the son of former Cincinnati Reds star and hall of fame shortstop Barry Larkin. The Hall of Fame shortstop conceded he was “crushed” when his son gave up baseball, but Shane is making quite an impact on the basketball court, leaving a mark of his own. That’s what all these young athletes are trying to do. They may not be going about it the exact same way their parents did, but they’re trying to enjoy their own competitive experiences — with the support of family members who have already done it, like Hardaway’s father. “He just tells me to go out there, have fun, just play my hardest,” Hardaway said. “And he’s behind me 100 percent.”

Bracket busters boost TV, online buzz JOHN MARSHALL AP Basketball Writer Welcome back to BracketRacket, the one-stop shopping place for all your NCAA needs. Today’s edition includes a social media bracket, a touching moment between competitors and a little dance called the Larranaga Shuffle. Oh, and we’ve got Dickie V and his new rival, dolphins. Not the Dolphins, just dolphins. SOCIAL MEDIA BRACKET The advent of social media has added to the NCAA tournament experience, allowing fans to comment before, during and after every game, creating an extra buzz to March Madness. But can social media have an impact on the games? The answer is, maybe. Using an algorithm it calls “Prime Buzz,” the digital marketing company Prime Visibility tracked the first two rounds of the NCAA tournament to see if the buzz created on Twitter, Facebook and other social media channels reflected how the teams did on the court. In other words, do teams with the greater amount of buzz win more games? It seems so.

After tracking social media conversations from 24 hours before the start of games until the end of games in the first round, Prime Visibility found that 25 of the 32 teams with more buzz won, as did 11 of 16 in the second round. The team that generated the most buzz was Florida Gulf Coast University, the first No. 15 seed to reach the Sweet 16, and the lowest was Northwestern State, which didn’t make it out of the first round. The highest discrepancy between teams was FGCU’s 95.48 percent to 4.52 percent for San Diego State. TOUCHING MOMENT In the moments after Florida Gulf Coast knocked off San Diego State to reach the Sweet 16, Aztecs guard Jamaal Franklin didn’t race off the floor. Instead, he tracked down FGCU’s Sherwood Brown to give him congratulations in one of the weekend’s more heartfelt moments. Franklin hugged Brown as he gave him some words of encouragement, tapped him on the chest as he kept talking and hugged again before separating. “I just told him just keep being the leader that he is, make sure the

ball is in his hands, make sure he does what he has to do to keep his team rolling,” Franklin said during San Diego State’s postgame news conference. “And just make sure they stay together because those guys we played against right now are just like us, they all love each other and they all play together. They just want to win. And you can see at the end of the game, a lot of teams win games and just leave the court, but they embraced it. They embraced it together, not just one another.” THE HEADLINES The day after Florida Gulf Coast’s victory over San Diego State to reach NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16, the News-Press in Fort Myers, Fla., ran a large photo of the 15th-seeded Eagles celebrating with the headline: “SWEET 15!” Fox Sports also unleashed this headline: OMFG-CU! And no, it’s not text-speak for something crass. It stands for Oh My, Florida Gulf Coast University! DICKIE V vs. DOLPHINS ESPN analyst Dick Vitale did a lot of trash talking to some dolphins as he picked against them in a bracket challenge. OK, we know it’s TV schtick, part of a promotion with Allstate.

Still, Dickie V has to be looking over his shoulder at this point. The dolphins, from Atlanta’s Georgia Aquarium, have picked 30 games correctly in this what’sgoing-to-happen-next tournament, just one behind Vitale. Among the dolphins’ gets were Wichita State over top-seeded Gonzaga, Florida Gulf Coast over Georgetown and La Salle over Kansas State. To be fair, Vitale is in better shape for the rest of the bracket. He has Louisville beating Indiana in the title game while the dolphins’ Final Four teams have all been eliminated. STAT OF THE DAY You’re bracket may be busted, but you’re still watching. Ratings for the NCAA tournament are the highest in 15 years and up 27 percent from last year. The broadcasts on CBC, TBS, TNT and truTV averaged a 5.8 household rating and 12 share, the highest rating for the tournament’s first week since 1998. That year, the rating was 5.9 and 15 share. The broadcasts also had the highest viewership since 1993, averaging 8.9 million total viewers — a 9 percent increase from a year ago.

SPORTS

Heat win 27th straight, run away from Magic 108-94 By TIM REYNOLDS AP Basketball Writer ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Late in the third quarter, the game was tied and the Miami Heat winning streak seemed to be in jeopardy. Then LeBron James got mad. And then the Orlando Magic had no chance. James finished with 24 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, throwing down a dunk to start a huge, swift run that decided everything and the Heat won their 27th straight game by topping the Magic 108-94 on Monday night. “We are not taking this team for granted,” James said. “I continue to always say that in professional sports, wins are hard to come by and teams like this are really rare. To be part of a team like this, we do not take it for granted.” That dunk — which came one possession after James badly missed a layup and got frustrated — started what became a 20-2 run over merely a 4½-minute portion of the third and fourth quarters, and it put the Heat in control for good. He left one rebound shy of a triple-double, feigning disappointment. That’s about all the Heat could complain about afterward. Mario Chalmers scored 17, and Chris Bosh and Ray Allen each added 12 for Miami, giving Heat coach Erik Spoelstra his 250th win and bringing the reigning NBA champions within six games of matching the Lakers for the longest winning streak in league history, a 33-game run. “We did enough late in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter to come away with this win,” Spoelstra said. “That was some of our best in that fourth quarter on both ends of the court. ... Before that, it was a little bit of a sleepwalk.” Jameer Nelson had 27 points and 12 assists for the Magic, who got 20 points from Tobias Harris. And Magic coach Jacque Vaughn didn’t exactly seem to think after the game that Miami’s winning streak will end anytime soon. “I’m far from the expert on that. ... That’s a very good ballclub led by a very good player,” Vaughn said. “It’s impressive what they’re doing.” The four-game road trip for Miami continues in Chicago

on Wednesday, followed by a Friday matchup in New Orleans — which snapped Denver’s 15game winning streak on Monday night. Miami’s trip ends Sunday in San Antonio. It’s now the second-longest winning streak in American major sports, behind only the Lakers’ run. Baseball’s New York Giants won 26 straight games in 1916, the New England Patriots took 21 consecutive NFL games in 2003 and 2004, and the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins won 17 consecutive times in 1993. “When they got rolling, we had to try to stop them,” said Orlando’s Kyle O’Quinn. “But they got rolling too quick.” Both teams were missing key components, Dwyane Wade for Miami and Nik Vucevic for Orlando. Wade missed his second straight contest with a sore right knee, one that he said before the game had been bothering him periodically since March 9 and then flared up after a collision against Boston last week. He had an MRI exam over the weekend to rule out any major problems and plans to play at Chicago on Wednesday. Vucevic sat his third straight game while dealing with a mild concussion. Vucevic averaged a staggering 22.5 points and 25 rebounds in two games against Miami earlier this season. Compounding the injury issues for Orlando was losing power forward Andrew Nicholson, the team’s first player off the bench Monday, to a sprained left ankle just 1:52 after he checked in for what was the only time. A 9-2 run early in the third gave Miami what was then its biggest lead, 64-53. Instead of deflating the Magic, it seemed to almost inspire the hosts, who answered with probably their best 5-minute stretch of the game, capped by a 3-pointer by Nelson with 3 minutes left that tied the game at 68-all. And when James missed a layup at the other end, then got called for a foul after the rebound, Orlando may very well have been thinking that the streak could soon be snapped. Nope. “They’re a great team,” Magic rookie Maurice Harkless said. “They got a lot of different weapons out there. Obviously there’s a reason why they’ve won so many games in a row. They just took it

Prince Harry to visit U.S., skipping Vegas this time By DANICA KIRKA Associated Press LONDON (AP) — Britain’s Prince Harry is returning to the United States — but this time he’s skipping Las Vegas. The 28-year-old prince will travel to the U.S. East Coast as well as Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, to support veterans’ charities and get in a bit of polo. Harry, a longtime supporter of charities that rehabilitate war veterans, will attend several events at the 2013 Warrior Games, a competition in which veteran athletes from both Britain and the United States take part. “Prince Harry wants to highlight once again the extraordinary commitment and sacrifice of our injured servicemen and women,” said Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Harry’s private secretary. Harry recently spent 20 weeks in Afghanistan as copilot gunner on an Apache attack helicopter. His May 9-15 visit will include trips to Arlington National Cemetery, Walter Reed National Medical Center and an exhibition on Capitol Hill about land mine clearance, a favorite subject of his late mother, Princess Diana. He will also visit areas in New Jersey hard hit by Hurricane Sandy. Harry will also play in the Sentebale Polo Cup in Greenwich, Connecticut. Sentebale — which means “forget-me-not” — is a charity founded by Harry and Lesotho’s Prince Seeiso that helps children struggling with poverty in the tiny southern African country. On his last U.S. visit, the third-in-line to the British throne stormed last year into the headlines when he was caught frolicking in the nude with a woman after an alleged game of strip billiards in his Las Vegas hotel room.

to another level at that point in the game. We couldn’t punch back. They hit us and we couldn’t find a way to hit back.” Miami needed only 2 minutes to close the quarter with 10 unanswered points, with James doing either the orchestrating or performing. He got loose on a curl for a dunk to start the run, and the Heat took off. Chris Andersen — the Heat are now 29-1 when he plays — got Miami the ball with a spectacular block against Harkless. James then cleared everyone out to drive on Harkless, score and get fouled for a three-point play. That was part of a rough few moments for the rookie out of St. John’s. Harkless threw the ball into the sideline seats on Orlando’s next possession, and James found Allen for a 3-pointer. Harkless had another turnover with 19.5 seconds left and then fouled James with 4.2 ticks remaining. James missed both shots, but got his own rebound, was fouled by Harris and made those two ensuing free throws for a 78-68 Miami lead. “Any time LeBron gets a dunk, that excites everybody,” Chalmers said. “Makes us play a little bit harder.” The run didn’t stop there. Allen started the fourth quarter with a 3-pointer, pushing Miami’s edge to 81-68 as Orlando’s Beno Udrih — who was 0 for 8 from the field at that point — lay writhing in pain under the basket after apparently being hit in the face. It was injury to insult, at that point. Norris Cole lobbed one off the glass to James for a dunk and an 83-70 lead, Allen made another 3-pointer on the next possession, James set up Andersen for an alley-oop dunk as half the arena roared in delight as the reigning champions pushed the margin to 18. Game, over. Streak, not over. NOTES: There was practically a baseball All-Star team in attendance, with Ken Griffey Jr., Detroit slugger Prince Fielder and Yankees left-hander CC Sabathia all near one another opposite the Miami bench. Tigers stars Justin Verlander and Miguel Cabrera were also in the crowd, as was Masters champion Bubba Watson. ... Orlando comes to Miami on April 17 in the regular-season finale for both teams.

Coroner: No drugs found in Pa. bus driver’s system CARLISLE, Pa. (AP) — A coroner says there were no signs of drugs or alcohol found in the body of the bus driver involved in a crash that killed a pregnant college lacrosse coach earlier this month in central Pennsylvania. The bus was carrying 23 players and coaches with the Seton Hill University women’s lacrosse team when it crashed on the Pennsylvania Turnpike on the way to a game at Millersville University. The ac-

cident killed 30-year-old women’s lacrosse coach Kristina Quigley, her unborn child and the bus driver, 61-year-old Johnstown resident Anthony Guaetta. Cumberland County Coroner Charles Hall said Monday that toxicology results showed Guaetta didn’t have any drugs or alcohol in his system. They also showed he didn’t have a medical emergency. The cause of the crash hasn’t been determined.

Annual Drinking Water Quality Report 2012 Adrian Public Service District PO Box 87 (8506 Route 20 South Rd) French Creek WV 26218 (304)924-6107 PWS# WV 3304911 Elkins Road Public Service District 4536 Old Elkins Rd Buckhannon, WV 26201 (304) 472-3008 PWS# WV 3304909 Hodgesville Public Service District 188 Fayette St. Buckhannon WV 26201 (304)472-1904 PWS# WV 3304908 & 3304912

Elkins Road PSD did additional testing for lead and copper. There were no detects.

Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness in water. We monitor it because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system. If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. Your water utilities are responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your drinking water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead. This report will not be mailed. A copy will be provided to you upon request at our offices during regular business hours.

Why am I receiving this report? In compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments, we are providing our customers with this annual water quality report. This report explains where your water comes from, what it contains and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. The information in this report shows the results of our monitoring for the period of January 1st to December 31st 2012 or earlier if not on a yearly schedule. If you have questions concerning this report, you may contact the following: Adrian PSD - Nina Monroe, Office Manager, (304)924-6107 Board meeting - The second Thursday of each month at 1:00 pm at the office in French Creek. Elkins Road PSD – Patty McQuain, Office Manager (304) 472-3008 Board meeting - The first Tuesday of each month at 6:00 pm 4536 Old Elkins Rd, Buckhannon. Hodgesville PSD - Terry N. Gould, Manager (304) 472-1904 Board meeting - The first Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm, 188 Fayette St Buckhannon. Mt. Hope Water Association, Inc. - David M. Wamsley (304) 472-2526 Board Meeting - The third Monday of each month at 7:00 pm 1925 Tallmansville Rd., Buckhannon. Where does our water come from? All of the above named purchase 100% of our water from the City of Buckhannon. Your water source is surface water from the Buckhannon River. Source Water Assessment? A Source Water Assessment was conducted by the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health (WVBPH). The intake that supplies drinking water to the City of Buckhannon system has a higher susceptibility to contamination, due to the sensitive nature of surface water supplies and the potential contaminant sources identified within the area. This does not mean that this intake will become contaminated; only that conditions are such that the surface water could be impacted by a potential contaminant source. Future contamination may be avoided by implementing protective measures. The source water assessment report which contains more information is available for review or a copy will be provided at their office during regular business hours or from the WVBPH 304-558-2981.

Why must water be treated? All drinking water contains various amounts and kinds of contaminants. Federal and state regulations establish limits, controls and treatment practices to minimize these contaminants and to reduce any subsequent health effects. Contaminants in Water In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations which limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. FDA regulations establish limits of contaminants in bottled water, which must provide the same protection for public health. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of these contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the Environmental Protection Agency’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800)426-4791. The source of drinking water (both tap and bottled water) includes rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs and wells. As water travels over the surface of land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals, and in some cases radioactive material and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include: Microbial contaminants, such as viruses and bacteria, which may come from sewage treatment plants, septic systems, agricultural livestock operations and wildlife. Inorganic contaminants, such as salts and metals, which can be naturally-occurring or result from urban storm water runoff, industrial or domestic wastewater discharges, oil and gas production, mining and farming.

Organic chemical contaminants, including synthetic and volatile organic chemicals, which are by-products of industrial processes and petroleum production, and can also come from gas stations, urban storm water runoff and septic systems. Radioactive Contaminants, which can be naturally-occurring or the result of oil and gas production and mining activities. Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune disorders, some elderly and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from their health care providers. EPA/ CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbial contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800)426-4791 Water Quality Data Table Definitions of terms and abbreviations used in the table or report:

By adopting the adage “Waste not, want not,” by this time next year you could find yourself in an exceptionally secure financial position, one that you never thought possible. Try it and see for yourself. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You shouldn’t expect others to act in a reasonable manner when you behave otherwise. Try to handle things with logic, not emotions. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The only sure way to achieve success is to roll up your sleeves and do everything yourself. Depending on others to get things done might produce mediocre results. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It behooves you to be democratic and bow to the will of the majority. If you’re too demanding, you can expect some serious trouble to arise. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Trying to bluff your way through a serious assignment isn’t likely to work. To be on the safe side, play it straight and get help if you need to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -Be extremely careful that you don’t get hot under the collar should a discussion get intense. There’s nothing to gain from losing your cool. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- What works for someone else won’t necessarily do so for you, especially when it comes to your financial affairs. Do what is best suited for your situation. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -Before getting angry, consider the source of unpleasant information being relayed to you. Use collected thinking to soothe your feelings and subdue your response. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Be extra safety-conscious when performing any kind of distasteful task. If you lose your patience and get careless, you’ll create needless problems. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23Dec. 21) -- Do what you can to avoid a group that includes an individual whom you dislike. If you’re more impatient than usual, a confrontation could erupt. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Usually your sense of humor is in good taste, but today could be an exception. Chances are, if you’re not careful, you could say or act in a manner that others find unsavory. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Watch your temper and don’t blow things out of proportion. You could create problems for some innocent people. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Regardless how rosy a financial presentation appears, it would be best to check things out for yourself before investing in it. It could be all talk and no substance.

DEAR ABBY: I hope you will print this because I’m sure many women share this dilemma. My boyfriend, whom I adore and who is one of the kindest men on Earth, wants me to perform a certain sex act on him. While I understand that many people -- and I don’t judge them -- enjoy it, I am not one of them. I would feel degraded if I even tried it. He says he won’t pressure me about it, yet he talks about it a lot. Just listening to him talk about it puts unwanted pressure on me. I have tried to be honest with him. I told him I don’t want to do this, but I’m afraid if I don’t, it will damage my relationship with him. However, if I give in, I’ll end up feeling self-loathing and resentment. Either way, it will be damaging. We’re in our 40s. Please offer any advice you might have. -- WORRIED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WORRIED: You are indeed not alone in this dilemma. You should not have to do anything you are uncomfortable with. The next time your boyfriend raises the subject, turn the discussion to amorous activities you both enjoy. Then suggest that instead of this particular sex act, you engage in his “No. 2 favorite.” ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: I’m a 51-year-old woman with a question. What do you recommend a person do or say when being lied to? I’m not talking about the little white lies we all tell to spare someone’s feelings, smooth things over, etc. I once had a 21-year-old man tell me that he was a veteran of a war that had been over for 10 years! I felt like an idiot pretending to believe him and knew he’d be laughing at me later, but frankly, I felt scared to confront him. -- HEARD A WHOPPER DEAR HEARD A WHOPPER: If you have reason to feel that the person talking to you is being untruthful, be polite and end the conversation. And if your intuition tells you the person is someone to be afraid of, put as much distance between you as possible and avoid that person in the future. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: I am a plus-sized woman. I am loud and boisterous, and I like to surround myself with similar women. However, there is a problem I am now facing. Many of my friends have made amazing transformations and gotten fit. I am fully supportive and impressed, but I see the price they are paying. They are no longer confident and vivacious. They have become timid, approval-seeking shells of their previous selves. Why do newly thin women forget how awesome their personalities used to be? -- BIG BEAUTY IN ILLINOIS DEAR BIG BEAUTY: Not knowing your friends, I can’t answer for them. But it is possible that having become “transformed and fit,” they no longer feel they need their loud and boisterous personas to compete for attention. ** ** ** DEAR ABBY: When I was growing up, my father would ask my mother what she wanted, and then he would buy the opposite. For example, if she wanted a brown sofa, he would buy a blue one. One day I realized that he acts the same way toward me. He will ask my opinion about the color of something -- like an appliance -- then buy the opposite color. Is there a name for this behavior? -- ANONYMOUS IN ATLANTA DEAR ANONYMOUS: Yes, there is. It is called “passive aggression,” and it’s a way of demonstrating veiled hostility without being directly confrontational.

Baseball Bucs’ offense, pitching staff revolves around senior class By Andrew Reiner Sports TENNERTON — Returning to the baseball diamond after leading the Buckhannon-Upshur Buccaneers to their first winning season since 2008, B-U coach Adam Squires will welcome back eight seniors, including one allstate slugger, to his 2013 team. The Bucs return three of their starting pitchers from the 2012 squad that went 17-13 overall and posted a team earned-run average of 3.98. Offensively, they return three of their top hitters from a battery that posted a .345 team batting average, including the player who posted the team’s top offensive numbers during Squires’ tenure as coach. Infielder-pitcher Dalton Westfall earned a Class AAAAll-State Special Honorable Mention and an All-Big Ten Conference First Team berth during the 2012 campaign, when posted a .464 batting average — the highest in the B-U program since J.R. Tenney’s .507 average in 2008 — with a teamhigh 45 hits in 97 official at-bats. Westfall cracked eight doubles, four triples and three home runs during the 2012 season, sharing the Bucs’ team lead in all three categories. He will rejoin seniors Nathan Matthews, who hit .371 last season, and Corey Reed, who hit .286 and drove in 26 runs, in the top half of a potent B-U lineup. “We’ve got a lot of experience,” Squires said of his 2013 team. “With Corey [Reed], Nathan [Matthews] and Dalton [Westfall], you’ve got three tough outs no matter who is on the mound. And, we have some good contact hitters in Dalton Crislip and Matt Fair, and some guys who can really swing hard in Donald Tenney and Jared Bentley.” Matthews took over the leadoff spot and was the Bucs’ everyday center fielder last season, cracking 33 hits in 89 at-bats and 11 extra-base hits. Matthews matched Westfall with a team-high four triples and stole 14 bases. Reed produced 28 hits, including seven doubles, in 98 at-bats. In addition to finishing second on the B-U team in RBIs, he also proved to be one of the toughest Bucs to strike out, fanning just 11 times in 110 plate appearances. That same trio of seniors will return to key roles in the B-U pitching staff as well, with Westfall and Reed leading off the Bucs’ starting rotation. Reed made eight starts last season and went 5-3 with a 3.53 earned-run average, while Westfall started

Senior right-hander Jon McDaniels also brings starting experience to the B-U pitching staff, after tossing 22 innings over nine appearances — including three starts — during a 2012 season in which he went 1-1. “Dalton Westfall, Corey Reed, Jon McDaniels and probably Tyler Shreve will be our starters,” Squires said of his pitching staff. “Logan Pugh will throw some relief innings for us and Nathan Matthews will throw some too, but I’m not sure what his role will be — whether he will start or throw in relief. “Dalton, Corey and Jon are all three seniors, so they’re going against kids who are their own age now. Hopefully they can have some dominant outings and go later into games. All three of them are throwing harder now, especially Jon. He really seems to have accepted his role as a pitcher only.” At catcher, senior Donald “Hoss” Tenney and junior Matt Fair both can draw from starting experience behind the plate. Squires expects to mix and match the duo according to his starting pitcher and the needs of his batting order, with Tenney providing a power bat and Fair reinforcing the defense. “Donald Tenney and Matt Fair will do most of the catching, but

we’ve looked at Zane Clevenger a little bit and Jared Bentley as well,” Squires said. “But, we will probably go with Donald Tenney or Matt Fair, depending on who is pitching and hitting. “When Dalton [Westfall] is on the mound, he’s probably more comfortable with Matt being back there because he’s able to move more side to side. With Corey [Reed] or Jon [McDaniels] on the mound, “Hoss” can move with them and block the ball. Around the infield, Reed and Westfall will share the duties at first base depending on the pitching matchup, but the other three starting positions appear less certain early in the season. Dalton Crislip, who batted .276 and compiled a perfect fielding average of 1.000 last season, will likely start at a middle-infield position and join two first-year starters in the infield. “Zane [Clevenger] will probably be there somewhere, along with Dalton Crislip,” Squires said of his infield. “Cody Garrett might be somewhere as well and Zach Gifford is also there.” Clevenger, a junior, saw junior varsity action last season and Gifford, also a junior, saw limited varsity action, mainly as a pinchrunner and substitute. Garrett is competing for a varsity position as a freshman. “Shortstop is a big question mark for us,” Squires said. “We have guys who can play either

second base or third base, but our big question is whether we should try to trade out our shortstop with our pitching, or whether we should try to keep consistency there. “Cody Garrett is probably the player who has improved the most [during preseason practices] with his work ethic, but Dalton Crislip will get a shot there too and so will Zane Clevenger.” In the outfield, senior lefthander Dylan Smith, who started 25 games last season, and junior Jake Goss, who appeared in 19 games, will likely flank Matthews. However, if his lineup needs a boost offensively, Squires could also turn to one of three other players ready to fill an outfield spot. “Dylan Smith and Jake Goss will probably play some outfield for us,” Squires said. “But, Isaac Sams and Bryson Fluke are right there too, and if the other guys can’t fill their roles, we will probably look at them. Matt Fair can also play an outfield spot if he is not catching.” Heading into a season with a loaded opening week of action — which was scheduled to included an opening-day game at Big Ten Conference and sectional rival Elkins and a home opener against Big Ten foe East Fairmont, both of which were postponed due to weather — Squires

Softball Lady Bucs “return a good nucleus” for another postseason run TENNERTON — Although he lost a pair of four-year infield starters and has a 22-player roster that shows eight sophomores and six freshmen, veteran Buckhannon-Upshur Lady Buc softball coach Tom Hasbrouck is still optimistic as the 2013 season approaches. He has eight lettermen, including five starters, back from the 2012 squad that racked up a 25-6 record and won the sectional title before falling to Robert C. Byrd’s Lady Eagles in the regional semifinals. The letter winners back are senior second baseman-shortstop Brooklyn Waddell, senior pitcher-first baseman Megan Williams, senior outfielder Claire Linger, junior second basemanshortstop-first baseman Lindsey Wagoner, junior outfielder Julie Tenney, junior outfielder-infielder Sarah Ling and sophomore catcher Casey Frederick. Waddell, Williams, Wagoner, Davis and Linger are the starters from last season. Waddell, a second-team AllState selection, batted a sizzling .490, compiling 48 hits in 98 trip, including 16 doubles, five triples and four home runs, and drove in 25 runs. She also had 28 stolen bases. Williams posted a 19-6 mound record with a 2.87 earned-runaverage in 156 innings, while walking 30 and striking out 73. At the plate, she hit .274. Wagoner banged out 25 hits in 80 at-bats for a .313 average, including four doubles, a threebagger and two circuit blasts, and drove home 23 markers. Davis hammered out 30 safeties in 86 at-bats for a respectable .348 norm, including a trio of two-baggers and a triple, and had 16 runs-batted-in. Linger was 19-for-56 for a .339 average. “We return a good nucleus but are faced with the challenge of replacing four-year starters

LADY BUCCANEER SOFTBALL SENIORS — From left: Claire Davis, Claire Linger, Megan Williams and Brooklyn Waddell. Carly Gregory at third and Morgan Wright at short,” Hasbrouck pointed out. “Basically, we will have to rebuild our entire infield.” To start that rebuilding, he is looking to move Waddell from second base to short, and the versatile Wagoner from first to either second, short or third. “From there, it is up in the air as to who will be in the other infield slots,” he explained. “We have some talented sophomores who are showing a stronger work rate with better attitudes to improve.” He will use sophomore Shadie Suder as the back-up at second and short. She is also pushing hard for an outfield position as well. “Hitting will be the key as to who will handle the other infield positions,” Hasbrouck said. He has been working sophomore Katy Slaughter, freshman Morgan Knicely and Davis at third base, as well as Julie Tenney, Slaughter, freshman Destiny Unrue and freshmen Jordan Hoover at first base. Williams also plays first base,

Sophomore Tara Tenney and freshman Darian Bender are also working in the infield. Hasbrouck is happy with his outfield situation. “We should be strong there with Claire Linger returning to center and Sarah Ling, who will move from left to right, and Julie Tenney, who is our most improved player, will probably start in left,” he pointed out. “Sophomore Desiree King has

been a big surprise and is pushing for one of the starting outfield positions. “Sophomore Cora McDaniels will also see some action in the outfield. Other outfielders are sophomores Paige Evans and Mariah Zickefoose and freshmen Autumn Knight and Olivia Look.” Hasbrouck has been looking at prospects to back up Williams in the circle.

Tennis Bucs’ new coach sets veteran players’ sights on state tournament By Andrew Reiner Sports TENNERTON — With five returning starters from the Buckhannon-Upshur Lady Buccaneers’ 2012 tennis season, including the team’s state tournament qualifier and winningest player, new head coach Michael Thomas has a strong foundation which to build her 2013 lineup. B-U senior Erika Ridgway will take over the No. 1 singles spot in the Lady Buc lineup after a 2012 season in which she went 18-6 overall in No. 2 singles play and qualified for the WVSSAC Tennis Tournament. Ridgway earned a 2012 state tournament berth by advancing to the Class AAA Region II Tournament finals and Thomas believes her skills have prepared her to make the jump to No. 1 singles play this year. “Erika is a very smart player,” Thomas said of Ridgway. “She is great at analyzing the court and seeing weaknesses in her opponents. Her powerful forehand along with her intensity and drive will be an asset to her in singles competition, while her strong poaching skills will be paramount during doubles play.” Seniors Caroline Nanners and Marlene Ridgway and juniors Hannah Stankus and Angie Botzet also return from the Lady Bucs’ 2012 starting lineup, forming a core group of veterans that Thomas says shows “strong leadership and dedication both on and off the court.” “Our doubles teams had to do some serious shuffling this season,” Thomas said of her Lady Buc team. “However, the experience, talent, and drive that the returning seniors bring will really help power the team and set a strong tone of intensity on the court. As a new coach, I have really relied on the expertise and help from seniors to get things moving this season.” Nanners, who played at No. 1 singles last season, will start the 2013 campaign in the No. 2 singles position and Stankus, who went 15-4 overall at No. 4 singles last year, moves up one spot to No. 3 singles. Marlene Ridgway, who started at No. 3 doubles last year, will assume the No. 4 singles position while also joining her twin sister on the Lady Bucs’ No. 1 doubles team. “Caroline brings experience and a relaxed playing style to the court,” Thomas said of Nanners. “She has a strong serve and is consistent; her consistency will be key in helping clinch wins against strong opponents. She has also shown team leadership and will really help to keep a strong focus on goals with her teammates. “Hannah is an outstanding player. She is aggressive and her no-nonsense approach to playing tennis is one of her many strengths. She has great confidence and powerful hits at the net. I am really looking for her to be a strong component of our lineup in singles play.” In the other doubles spots in the B-U girls’ order, Thomas plans to pair Nanners and Botzet in the No. 2 doubles team and sophomores Maddie Nanners and Sarah Pappas at No. 3 doubles. “Putting together doubles teams this season was a challenge as a new coach. I had to really think of the dynamics of

In tennis, players really must rely on one another for a lot while on the court. This makes pairing the correct players together a very important part of the season, as trust and compatibility are huge factors that aren’t easily forged. “Natural talent, intensity, skill level, and personalities were among the factors considered to make the doubles pairs. I truly feel that I have matched up players who will be compliments to one another’s abilities and playing styles.” On her boys team, Thomas’ roster shows seven players — just enough to field a full lineup — and all seven are juniors. Only two of those seven, Justin Hyre and Sebastian Reger, bring prior experience to the team, but Thomas says her Bucs have been hard at work preparing for the physical grind of the upcoming season. “Conditioning has been a huge part of my practice for both boys and girls,” Thomas said. “I find it absolutely necessary to build strong, athletic players with strong foundational skills. I don’t think my players appreciate the conditioning much now, but once we get into the heat of the season all of their hard work will pay off. Hyre and Reger both started in the Bucs’ doubles pairings last season, but saw limited singles action. This season, Hyre will play opponents’ top talent in the No. 1 singles position and Reger will follow at No. 2 singles, and the duo will join forces for No. 1 doubles. “Although I started the season with only two returning players, I have had some strong new players emerge,” Thomas said. “My returning players, Justin Hyre and Sebastian Reger, have really helped to set a high standard for the new players. Both boys bring a level of sophistication and talent to the court that will really help push the new players forward. They have emerged as excellent leaders and strong role models for the new players.”

Newcomers David Maxwell and Matt Atkins will occupy the No. 3 and No. 4 singles positions, respectively, and pair up for No. 2 doubles. Two other first-year players, Steven Wilson and Ethan Hull, will form the Bucs’ No. 3 doubles pair. “As far as new players go, David Maxwell is going to be a

very strong competitor,” Thomas said. “His skills have developed quickly and he is now in the process of honing in on certain aspects of his game. I’m very excited to see where this season takes him in both singles and doubles. His doubles partner, Matt Atkins, is also going to be a threat. Together, they will make

a great doubles pair. They work really well together and will keep one another on track and focused. “Steven Wilson and Ethan Hull both bring strong athleticism to the court. Both players are quick on their feet, which makes them excellent at running down powerful hits with time to spare. Both have natural athletic ability

and talent on the tennis court.” The B-U boys were shut out of state tournament qualification last season for just the second time in the past five years under former coach Bethany Sindy, but Thomas hopes to see that trend reversed this season. The first-

Track Lady Bucs’ senior class seeks one last state title run By Andrew Reiner Sports

TENNERTON — After a state runner-up finish last season, three Buckhannon-Upshur seniors aspire to lead their Lady Buccaneer track and field team back to the state championship plateau they reached during their freshman and sophomore campaigns. Two-time Class AAA Girls High-Point Award winner and nine-time state champion Emily Godwin, three-time state champion Lauren Cvechko and six-time state place-winner Mercedes Dowell return to head coach Jackie Zuliani’s Lady Bucs lineup ready to make one last go at a state title. Morgantown edged B-U by 10 points for the Class AAA girls state title last season, 85-75, but Zuliani said the point-scoring formula for this season’s B-U team will remain mostly the same. “It will be a lot like last year,” Zuliani said of her team’s pointscoring approach. “We will rely a lot on our hurdles, our throws and our mid-distance events. We’ve traditionally been weak in the distance events the past few years and we don’t have one really fast sprinter for the 100 or 200 [meters], but we do have several sprinters we can put together for the relays.” Godwin scored a perfect 40 points on her own last season, winning state titles in all four of her events and set new state

B-U girls track and field returning state qualifiers and competitors: ❐ Lauren Cvechko: High jump, shuttle hurdles relay, 4-by-400 meter relay. ❐ Payton Deynzer: 4-by-400 meter relay. ❐ Mercedes Dowell: Discus, shot put. ❐ Emily Godwin: High jump, long jump, 100-meter hurdles, 300-meter hurdles. ❐ Mackenzie Leigh: Discus, shot put. ❐ Karli Littler: 4-by-200 meter relay, 4-by-400 meter relay. ❐ Courtney Reed: 4-by-200 meter relay. ❐ Katy Riley: Shuttle hurdles relay. ❐Megan Wilfong: Discus, shot put. ❐ Alayna Wright: 4-by-200 meter relay. records in the 100-meter and 300-meter hurdles. Zuliani expects Godwin, who has signed to compete collegiately at the University of North Carolina, to again compete in both hurdle events. She will also look to retain state crowns in the high jump, in which she is a two-time defending state champ, and long jump, which she won for the first time last season. Cvechko will again lead the Lady Bucs’ marquee relay team, their three-time defending state champion shuttle hurdles squad. Cvechko helped the Lady Bucs set a state record in the event as a freshman in 2010 and also scored points individually last season with fifth-place efforts in the 100 hurdles and high jump. Like Godwin, Cvechko has also signed to continue her track career on the collegiate level, recently signing

with West Virginia Wesleyan. “Both of them want to end their high school careers on a good note,” Zuliani said of Godwin and Cvechko. “It’s your high school career that leads to your college career, so I want them both to do well and continue on in that into next year. With both of them competing in the heptathlon next year [in college], I want them to try to compete in those events this year. “Lauren Cvechko worked out a lot in the winter and has improved in her speed a lot, so she may also fall into some open events. With her strength in the shuttle hurdles, we’re trying to build on that, but it’s also nice to know we have her for different options.” Dowell missed the Lady Bucs’ season-opening meet at Point Pleasant due to an injury, but B-U teammates Mackenzie Leigh and Megan Wilfong still scored key points in the throwing events and Zuliani expects all three to qualify for state-meet competition in both the shot put and discus again this season. In addition to her state runner-up discus throw of 125 feet, 8 inches, Dowell also finished sixth in the state in the shot put last season. Leigh, a junior, won state runner-up honors in the shot put last season with a heave of 36 feet, 9 ¾ inches and placed fourth in the discus. Wilfong, a sophomore, came in seventh in the discus and 11th in the shot put last season in her first state-meet appearance. “Our throwers are really ex-

She has gotten so much quicker and more explosive, and we’re really excited about that. “Megan Wilfong has pretty much picked up where she left off, but she has also struggled with an ankle injury. But, all three of them are going to be a huge part of the team.” At the season-opening Holzer Clinic Sports Medicine Invitational at Point Pleasant, Leigh and Wilfong finished first and second, respectively in the discus and first and third in the shot put. Leigh’s winning throws measured 111-02 in the discus and 36-01 in the shot put. Zuliani will also look for points in field events from juniors Katy Riley and Hannah Stankus, both of whom will compete in the pole vault. Riley has played a role in the Lady Bucs’ last two shuttle hurdles state titles and Stankus could also join Riley in hurdle events this season.

Deynzer is way ahead of where she was at this time last year, and we are looking for her to do some great things for our team. “Taylor Starkey is a big spark for us as a freshman in the sprints, but she is questionable right now with a knee injury.” During a season when Zuliani says her team’s “numbers are down a little bit,” staying healthy throughout the season will be one of the Lady Bucs’ top priorities. Deynzer, Reed, Starkey and freshman hurdler and high-jumper Lisa Fiddler have all missed practices early in the season due to a rash of injuries and illnesses, forcing the Lady Bucs’ shorthanded lineup to settle for second at the season-opening Point Pleasant meet. The meet marked the first regular-season outing in which the Lady Bucs did not finish first in more than four seasons. “We don’t have a lot of extras,” Zuliani said of her 2013 roster. “It takes a special kind of person to be a track athlete. In an individual sport like this, you can’t ride on someone else’s coattails and you’re in the spotlight all the time. “Our freshmen class of kids

“Katy Riley will be in the pole vault and is another big part of our shuttle hurdles team,” Zuliani said. “She just missed going to states in the 100 hurdles, and that’s another goal of hers this year — to go to states in the 100 highs. “Hannah Stankus is another one where the offseason definitely helped her. She has gotten faster and she hadn’t pole vaulted at all since last year, but she went into the first meet of the season and got [a third-place vault of] 8 feet. That’s very respectable considering the highest she got last year was 8-6. And, she is also working on the hurdles.” Junior Karli Littler, who ran on the Lady Bucs’ 4-by-200 meter relay team that finished ninth in the state last season and on their 14th-place 4-by-400 team, leads a group of runners expected to pace the B-U sprint relays again this season. Sophomores Payton Deynzer, who ran at states on the 4-by-400 team, and Courtney Reed, who competed in the 4-by200 at the state meet, plus a pair of freshmen could also take on prominent relay roles. “Karli Littler is a great team player and will be in many different events,” Zuliani said. “Payton

THE 2013 BUCCANEER TRACK AND FIELD TEAM — First row, from left: Blake Wolverton, Seth Cutright, Matthew Bellamy, Lance Rager and Austin Sayre. Second row: George Clem, Devin Carpenter, Joey Shreves, Logan Warner, Jared Hollen, Chris Curtis, Corey Johnston, Hunter Aragon, Zack Coe, Matthew McCoy, Ben Davis and Darin Rheinhardt.

Track Bucs’ success will depend on sprinters, all-state thrower By Andrew Reiner Sports TENNERTON — The Buckhannon-Upshur Buccaneers will rely on a seasoned group of sprinters and one of the state’s top throwers to score key points at each meet during the 2013 track and field season. B-U thrower Isaac Johnson returns for his senior season after winning a Class AAA Region II title and placing sixth in the state last season in the shot put, and B-U head coach Patty Wager says Johnson could contend for a state title and provide valuable team points this season in the shot put. Johnson measured a personalbest throw of 48 feet, ¼ inch at last year’s Big Ten Conference Championships and has already shown potential to eclipse that this season, according to Wager. “Isaac is out to break the school record in the shot put,” Wager said of Johnson. “He won the shot put [at the seasonopening Point Pleasant Invitational], even though it was very muddy and there were puddles everywhere. He had a wonderful throw of about 49 feet, but he fell on the throw. “He won the event with a throw of 46-10 and still won by about 6 feet, so he is definitely a state contender. He has set the bar high and he can go from there.” Johnson will also compete in the discus and while Wager expects to see him score in the field, she will also count on three seniors — including two more 2012 state competitors — to lead her top relay teams on the track. Senior Stetson West and junior Seth Cutright return to Wager’s squad after competing on the Bucs’ state-qualifying 4-by-400 relay team last season. The Bucs finished 10th in the state in the event last season — slowed by a dropped baton on their way to a time of 3 minutes, 38.23 seconds — and Wager described this year’s 4-by-400 quartet as a

BUCCANEER TRACK AND FIELD RETURNING STATE QUALIFIERS — From left: Seth Cutright (4-by-400 meter relay), Isaac Johnson (shot put) and Stetson West (4-by-400 meter relay.) “killer team.” Senior Austin Sayre and freshman Marcus Lofton will join Cutright and West on the 4-by-400 team, as well as the 4-by-200 relay. In their very first outing of the season at Point Pleasant, the Bucs saw state championship-caliber competition in both events. “Austin Sayre is going to be a killer quarter-miler, and he ran 55 seconds in his first leg [at Point Pleasant],” Wager said. “In the 4-by-400, we beat Winfield and ran a 3:46 in our very first race. “In the 4-by-200, we never got to do handoffs in practice, and we went out of the fly zone on one of our handoffs. We ran a 1:37, but we got disqualified on the last handoff. But, once we get our handoffs down, I definitely think we can be a state title contender. “We’re looking for our times to be among the premier times in the state. We were up against Point Pleasant, who won the Class AA state title in the event last year and didn’t lose anybody from that team. They were absolutely flying.” Several other sprinters could challenge for spots on the Bucs’ marquee relay teams or score points in open events, according to Wager. Senior sprinter George Clem led a 4-by-100 relay team

that Wager said ran “48 [seconds] and change” at the season-opening meet and will likely lead the Bucs’ in the 100-meter dash. “We’re loaded with sprinters,” Wager said. “[Senior] Shawn Young decided to come out for his senior year after not running since he was a sophomore, and he will be an awesome 400 [meters] and under guy. “George Clem is coming back and he is a wonderful sprinter, and Seth Cutright is a wonderful athlete in all areas. Stetson West will be our 200 and 400 [meters] guy and will probably do most of the anchoring on our relays. “And, [senior] Austen Snyder is coming back from a knee injury and will look to be back to full speed by April.” In addition to his events on the track, Wager also expects Lofton to earn points in the field as the Bucs’ top high-jumper. At Point Pleasant, Wager said Lofton “didn’t have his steps down and the weather was not cooperative, but he still jumped 5-6. “He was disappointed in himself, but he did place fifth. Junior Joey Shreves could also factor into the Bucs’ scoring ledger in field events, competing in the pole vault, and Wager will audition a handful of throwers to

compete alongside Johnson in the shot put and discus. “Joey Shreves got a 9-foot vault at Point Pleasant, and again, it wasn’t really good pole vault weather,” Wager said. “[Senior thrower] Nick Burch is returning and is getting some good throws in. Zack Coe has been working on his throws and we have Pat Crim in the discus. So, we have several guys looking to get some throws in.” Weather-related damage to the long jump pits has limited the Bucs’ practice in that event and Wager said she is still looking for athletes who can compete in the 110-meter hurdles. In the Bucs’ first outing, Wager placed freshmen Jared Hollen and Cody Luterek alongside returners Cutright and Aaron Boyles in the shuttle hurdles. That team finished with a third-place time of 1:06 at the Point Pleasant meet. “That was an awesome time for March 16,” Wager said of her shuttle hurdles team. “Our freshmen really stepped up to the plate and we’ve seen some strong performances already from our freshmen class.” The Bucs show 33 athletes on their roster to start the 2013 season, which will culminate in the Big Ten Conference Champion-

ships on their home track at Freal “Red” Crites Memorial Stadium, a trip to Lewis County for the Class AAA Region II Championships and the WVSSAC Track and Field Championships at Charleston’s Laidley Field on May 17-18. Wager expects the Bucs to once again face off against elite competition in both their conference and regional competitions, including defending champion Bridgeport in the Big Ten meet and defending Class AAA state champion Jefferson in the regional performance. “The guys are ready to go after it,” Wager said. “They know the times that come out of the [Eastern] Panhandle and they hope to make it to states and go from there. We would love to win the conference; I don’t know if we

And, while pursuing team laurels, Wager says her athletes will also take aim at some individual milestones along the way. “Isaac Johnson will be there and should almost always win the shot put, and hopefully be up there in the discus, too,” Wager said. “In the 4-by-400 relay, I expect us to own that and place — if not win — every time … I expect our sprints and sprint relays to be there at every meet. In the 4-by-400, I’m shooting for a 3:40 [at Parkersburg’s Kim Nutter Invitational] and to continue to go down from there.” The Bucs will make their first appearance at home in their next outing, scheduled for Tuesday, April 2 at 1 p.m.

Wesleyan pitcher Adams named to preseason All-Atlantic Region team BUCKHANNON — West Virginia Wesleyan Bobcat senior left-handed pitcher AARON ADAMS (pictured at left) was tabbed for preseason All-Atlantic Region honors by the National College Baseball Writers Association. Adams, a Crooksville, Ohio product, posted a 10-4 record with a 2.57 earned-run-average in leading the ‘Cats to a 28-19 overall record and 22-9 West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference mark a year ago. He worked 105 innings, surrendering 82 hits, walking 30 and striking out 80. He earned first-team All-WVIAC laurels. After five starts this season, Adams has backed up the preseason predictions, throwing three complete games and sporting a 3-1 record. He currently boasts a 2.29 earned-run average.

Bobcats will play “really aggressive” style to replace top power hitters BUCKHANNON — Offense looms as the biggest question mark for West Virginia Wesleyan’s Bobcats as they approach the 2013 baseball season. “We lost just about all of our power hitters through graduation,” remarked veteran coach Randy Tenney, entering his 27th

campaign as boss of the Bobcats. “We’re going to have to use a lot of hit-and-run, steal and run the bases, and be really aggressive all the way around.” He lost his three top hitters in Gene Franks (.373), Cory Flickinger (.368) and Mark Darlington (.347). That trio accounted for

more than half of their doubles, half of their triples, 19 of their 25 home runs, more than one-third of their runs and more than half of their runs-batted-in. But returning is a trio of .300 hitters in senior outfielder J.R. Tenney (.339), senior outfielder Ryan Lewicki (.319) and senior

first baseman Aaron Wiegel (.308). Also back are senior second baseman Matt Edwards (.288), junior shortstop Tommy Brunswick (.279), junior catcher Spencer Webley (.243) and junior catcher Mitch Tomlinson (.213). Webley and Tomlinson will be platooning

Lady Bobcats want one last WVIAC title after “remarkable” 2012 season BUCKHANNON — Can West Virginia Wesleyan’s Lady Bobcats come up with another “remarkable” season in the 2013 softball campaign? The West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference coaches believe they can, with 11 of them picking the Lady ‘Cats to repeat as champions. But what does veteran Lady ‘Cat coach Steve Warner think? “It’s nice that they believe we can,” Warner remarked. “But we are still a pretty young team, with just two seniors on the roster. “We had a remarkable season in 2012. I have to be honest, though, I have had better teams. I think we just had a bunch of over-achievers last season. “The key, I believe, was unity. They worked so well together and found a way to win. What about this year? “With a strong nucleus back, and the addition of some promising recruits, we look to be in pretty good shape,” Warner says. “If we can stay healthy and focused, I think we can challenge for the championship again.” The Lady ‘Cats will be seeking their fifth straight regular-season title and their fourth consecutive tourney crown.

Several veterans are back from the 2012 squad that posted an overall record of 43-14 and a 20-4 WVIAC ledger. Heading the list of returnees is senior shortstop Paige Cummings of Acton, Calif., who led the Lady ‘Cats in almost every offensive area. She belted out 74 hits in 171 trips for a red-hot .433 average, including 13 doubles, a triple and five home runs. She scored 41 runs and drove in 48. Other veterans are junior pitcher-first baseman Jacqui Omichinski of Abbotsford, British Columbia, senior pitcherfirst baseman Kaitlyn Carey of Orlando, Fla., junior second baseman Alex Furr of Hurricane, W.Va., sophomore catcher Megan Malenstyn of Surrey, British Columbia, sophomore outfielder Amanda Davis of Salem, W.Va., sophomore outfielder Nicole Friedeman of Canby, Ore., junior outfielder Breanna Taylor of Racine, Ohio and sophomore outfielder Tyler Welch of Haymarket, Va. Omichinski compiled a 15-6 mound record with a 1.30 earnedrun-average. She completed 17 of her 21 starts, twirling 129 innings and striking out 119. At the plate, Omichinski

cracked out 60 safeties in 170 at-bats for a .353 average, including 16 two-baggers, a triple and one homer. She drove home 35 markers. Carey manufactured an 8-4 pitching record with a 1.63 earned-run-average in 81 2/3 innings. She issued only 13 walks and fanned 67. She batted .333, hammering out 51 hits in 153 trips, with six doubles and a team-high eight round-trippers, and drove home 40 markers. The other returnees and their averages were Malenstyn (.325), Davis (.299), Friedeman (.275), Furr (.264), Taylor (.194) and Welch (.119). Warner signed a couple of hurlers to back up Omichinski and Carey. They are Jessica Griffin, a junior transfer from South Florida Community College and freshman Kaitlyn Hanna from Cabell Midland High School. “Griffin throws with a lot of velocity, but we’ll have to keep her under control,” Warner notes. “She shows a lot of potential. “Hanna doesn’t throw that hard, but she has excellent control and a command of her pitches. I wouldn’t hesitate to throw her two or three innings of relief.”

Warner points to pitching as the key to a successful season. “We lost two-time Pitcher of the Year Hillary Perez-Ashley, but with Omichinski and Carey back, and the addition of Griffin and Hanna, we should be okay,” he said. “Offensively, we must increase our run production. I told the girls we need to average six or more runs per game. Last year, our run production was down. We averaged four or so runs, but our pitching did the job for us. “Defensively, I believe we’ll be okay.” The Lady ‘Cats open WVIAC play Saturday against Shepherd in a home doubleheader at 1 p.m., with a regular lineup well established through the 22 nonconference games they have already played. It will be Malenstyn behind the plate, Omichinski or Carey in the circle, Carey or Omichinski at first base, Furr at second base, Cummings at shortstop, and freshman Ashley Hurey of Pittsburgh, Pa. or Rebekah Honce of Bridgeport, W.Va. at third base. Freshmen Channing Bedsole of Chesapeake, Va. or freshman Carly Gregory of Buckhannon could also fill in at third base.

Gregory, a standout for Buckhannoon-Upshur’s Lady Bucs four seasons, could also see some time at first base, as could Honce. Sophomore Rachel Ramsey is the backup at the catcher slot. Warner platooned five outfielders — Davis, Friedeman, Taylor, Welch and junior newcomer Carleigh Hall of Riverton, Kan. — in the early going until he found the right combination, but has settled mostly on the trio of Davis in right, Hall in center and Welch in left. The veteran coach hopes to schedule at least a dozen junior varsity contests to give his younger players some experience. Who are the conference teams figured to challenge the Lady ‘Cats for the 2013 championship? “I may sound like a broken record, but I think the confer-

ence shows more parity than ever before,” Warner says. “West Virginia State, Shepherd, Fairmont State and Charleston are all loaded and ready to challenge. Any one of five teams could win it all this year.” Warner is in his 21st season as head of the Lady ‘Cats. He entered the season with a record of 779-284-1, and with the Lady ‘Cats currently sitting at 13-9 on the season, he needs just eight victories to reach 800 career wins. Cummings currently leads five Lady ‘Cats batting better than .300, boasting a .414 average and a team-leading 27 RBIs. Hall follows with a .368 average, Carey is batting .333, Honce checks in at .328 and Malenstyn is batting .301 on the year. Cummings and Carey have both blasted three home runs.

is really improving, but with an advanced and experienced group of girls in front of them, the freshmen will really have to fight for spots. But, everybody is really working hard and has good attitudes.” And, according to Zuliani, the Lady Bucs have taken on that ef-

Hasbrouck said. “Knicely will be her back-up. Tara Tenney and Bender are also working some behind the plate.” So, the overall outlook for the 2013 Lady Bucs is looking pretty good. “With our returning players, we should put a pretty solid lineup on the field,” Hasbrouck remarked. “We are quite young, but we have good leadership with our four seniors. “Depth at the varsity level may be a problem for us, so we will have to stay healthy. “Weather has been our biggest

obstacle so far this year. Last year, we had been outside five or six times and had played a scrimmage, while this year we have been out on the turf one time.” “Our schedule is probably the toughest we have ever had with the likes of Logan, Jefferson, Musselman, Washington, Hedgesville, Morgantown and University, as well as conference teams Robert C. Byrd, Bridgeport, Lincoln and East Fairmont. “If we play as a team and improve each week, we should do well and be able to challenge for a third straight conference

championship.” Hasbrouck’s openin-day starting lineup showed Williams in the circle, Frederick behind the plate, Julie Tenney or Slaughter at first base, Waddell or Wagoner at second, Slaugter or Knicely at third, Wagoner or Waddell at short, Suder or Julie Tenney in left field, Linger in center, Ling in right and Davis as the designated player. “This could change in the coming week,” he stressed. “It will really depend on which players can prove that they can hit consistently.”

And, we have to perform at

the regional meet, because it’s so vitally important just to qualify at regionals and get to states. “One quote we have been focusing on is, ‘The distance between dreams and reality is discipline,’ and for us that’s a big part of it. We want to keep working hard, and hopefully our dreams will come true — to get our goal of another state title.” The Lady Bucs will make

their first home performance on Tuesday, April 2 in the first of their two regular-season home meets. They will also host the Big Ten Conference Championships on May 3. Regional competition will again return to Minutemen Field at Lewis County High School and Charleston’s Laidley Field will again host the WVSSAC Track and Field Championships.

Coonskin Park. “While this year will be challenging for the new players to find their footing, I have no doubts that they will adapt quickly and be able to have a successful season,” Thomas said. “We have really worked hard on building strong fundamentals. “We definitely want to end the season with a trip to Charleston

to compete in the state tournament. I think this is a goal of several singles players, as well as doubles pairs. I have no doubt that I will have players on the road to states if the intensity and enthusiasm that I have seen thus far continues.” The B-U tennis teams opened their 2013 schedule last week-

end with a pair of road matches against Region II opponents from the state’s Eastern Panhandle, meeting Musselman and Hedgesville in a triangular Saturday. The B-U tennis teams are scheduled to make their home debut Monday, April 1 in a Big Ten Conference match against Lincoln.
