Three inmates at the Federal Correctional Institute-Gilmer were indicted by a federal grand jury meeting in Clarksburg.
Betsy C. Jividen, acting U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of West Virginia, announced the indictments Thursday. Those indicted were:
Juan Luis Dominguez, 33, was named in a one-count indictment charging him with possessing an object that was designed as a weapon on August 22, 2009.
Delonta Foster, 39, was named in a one-count indictment charging him with possessing an object that was designed as a weapon on March 27, 2009.
Luis Ruben Padilla-Ramirez, 43, was named in a one-count indictment charging him with possessing an object that was designed as a weapon on August 22, 2009.
If convicted, the defendants each face a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment and a fine of $250,000. Jividen said the cases were investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigations and the Special Investigative Services at the prison.
Greenbrier County Sheriff’s deputies say a teacher at Greenbrier West High School has admitted to kissing a 17 year old student back in December.
The civics and psychology teacher, a former law enforcement officer, is now accused of a role in an “improper relationship” with that student as recently as last month.
Bond was set at $50,000 for 50-year old Rader Lafferty of Asbury who was being held in the Southern Regional Jail after being arrested Friday and charged with sexual abuse.
Lafferty is also accused of exchanging sexually explicit materials with the teenager.
He is off the job now. A condition of his bond is that he is not to go onto any school property in Greenbrier County.
State Police and the Child and Youth Advocacy Center were part of the investigation.
Investigators are not ruling out additional charges against Lafferty. He allegedly told investigators he wanted to pursue a relationship with the girl when she turned 18.
Wednesday, March 3rd, was “cross over” day at the Legislature. That deadline calls for the Senate to wrap up its actions on Senate bills and for the House to finalize and pass its bills. In total, the Senate passed 183 of its own bills and the House passed 137.
On Thursday, the Senate began committee meetings addressing House bills approved by that body while the House will begin to review our Senate bills. With a total of 2,078 bills introduced overall, only 320 made it through chamber review. Having nine days left of the Regular 60-Day Session, I would venture a guess that approximately 200 to 230 will actually become law.
Senate Bill 183 - Diesel-Powered Motor Vehicle Idling Act
As sole sponsor of the Senate Bill 183, I was pleased to see it approved by my colleagues. Entitled the Diesel-Powered Motor Vehicle Idling Act, its purpose is to prohibit diesel powered motor vehicles from excessive idling. Essentially, no driver or owner of a diesel-powered motor vehicle with a gross vehicle weight of 10 thousand one pounds or more engaged in commerce may allow the engine of the vehicle to idle for more than 15 minutes in any one hour.
However, there are exceptions, as in any rule of law. Motor homes, farm tractors, emergency vehicles and active construction equipment are exempt. And clearly, weather plays a part in exemptions, particularly the need for heating and cooling when passengers or drivers are in the vehicles. Generally, the prohibition is designed to reduce diesel waste and to protect air quality.
The purpose of SB 324, which also passed the House this week, is to establish incentives to attract and retain young talent to the State of West Virginia. As lead sponsor of the tax credit plan, I am concerned that the loss of young professionals and skilled workers in West Virginia is a self perpetuating cycle and requires decisive and creative action to reverse the trend. I believe the retention, recruitment, and advancement of young talent is critical to the future success of our state’s economy, communities and intellectual infrastructure.
Tax Credit
For tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2010, a credit will be allowed for any eligible taxpayer against personal income taxes equal to the amount of money paid as interest on a qualified student loan in the tax year up to a maximum amount of $500. The credit may be used by people up to the age of 40 by December 31 of the tax year for which the taxpayer is filing. The individual also is to have graduated from a higher education institution with a two-year, four-year, or advanced degree two years before the year the person’s taxes are filed.
Some other bills passed this week were:
Senate Bill 81 would create the West Virginia Official Prescription Program.
The bill would establish prescription rules and requirements, including the requirement for all prescriptions to be written on an official tamper-proof form. The bill would require that prescription pads with tracking numbers be authorized to practitioners.
Senate Bill 175 would change the law relating to the purchase, sale, possession and use of fireworks.
Among changes, the bill would provide for no local government regulation over consumer fireworks but instead be overseen by the State Fire Marshall who also would establish a Fireworks Safety Fund.
Senate Bill 225 would create the Spay Neuter Assistance Fund.
This fund would be a special revenue account created in the State Treasury and would consist of gifts, donations and any additional appropriations by the Legislature. The money would be used to fund spay neuter programs throughout the state.
Senate Bill 394 would allow the Division of Motor Vehicles to use an electronic insurance verification program for the purpose of identifying uninsured motor vehicles.
The bill would establish an online verification program that would apply to all non-commercial vehicles.
Senate Bill 457 would repeal many outdated laws, including prohibiting wearing hats in theaters, displaying red or black flags and cohabitation.
The bill would also repeal the prohibition of engaging in certain labor activities on Sundays and swearing in public.

Senators Jay Rockefeller and Robert C. Byrd today applauded the announcement that West Virginia will receive $4,430,758 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funding through the U.S. Department of Transportation to be used by the West Virginia Department of Transportation (WVDOT) to support its Transit Capital and Operating Assistance Program of Projects throughout the state.
West Virginia’s $4.43 million will go toward the replacement of buses, vans, and support vehicles for transit service; shop, support and miscellaneous equipment; and, the construction of an administrative/maintenance facility for the Little Kanawha Transit Authority in Calhoun County.
“In this economy, it is essential to keep West Virginia’s public transportation system up-to-date and efficient,” said Senator Rockefeller, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. “These needed funds from the ARRA will help improve local transportation infrastructure – providing quality transportation and facilities to those who need it.”
“I have long recognized the importance of mass transit in West Virginia,” added Senator Byrd. “Toward that end, as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I have made sure that West Virginia has had an average of $5 million annually to support the capital needs of mass transit in the State. And this additional stimulus funding shot in the arm for mass transit needs is very welcome.”
Employment Situation
Nonfarm payroll employment was little changed (-36,000) in February, and the unemployment rate held at 9.7%.
Employment fell in construction and information, while temporary help services added jobs.
Unusually severe winter weather in parts of the country may have affected payroll employment in February; however, it is not possible to quantify precisely the net impact of the winter storms.
Productivity and Costs
Productivity increased 6.9% in the nonfarm business sector during the fourth quarter of 2009 as unit labor costs fell 5.9% (seasonally adjusted annual rates, revised).
In manufacturing, productivity rose 6.6% while unit labor costs fell 6.3%.

After much deliberation, I have asked the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (HEPC) to move forward on a property transfer agreement with The Dow Chemical Co. that will donate three buildings and land at the South Charleston Technology Park to the state. I would not commit state resources to a project that I did not fully believe would be very productive and beneficial for the citizens of West Virginia.
I thank all of the shareholders and experts for working tirelessly with state government and Dow to make this announcement a reality. Over the course of the last several months, experts in fields ranging from engineering to real estate and environmental protection have taken a close look at the benefits and potential drawbacks of owning this park. We presented that information to state and local officials and the media before making a decision. Some details remain to be worked out, but we believe we have made a right decision for the future of this park and the region.
The Tech Park has a long and unique history that brought some of the world’s foremost researchers to the Kanawha Valley. In the 50 some years since the park was created, countless amazing products were developed right here. I believe the park holds tremendous promise for us to see that type of innovation in the capital region again. I also believe the risk of losing hundreds of existing jobs and the opportunity to create even more was greater than the risk of accepting this historic donation. We have work to do to ensure the park meets our needs and is as efficient as possible, but I believe this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Our state is committed to revitalizing the South Charleston Technology Park and the new “West Virginia Education, Research and Technology Park” will help us focus on developing new technologies and continue to seek ways to further diversify our economy. This is about job preservation and job creation and giving existing tenants the assurance they need to attract new business. This park will allow us to better connect higher education and research investments with business and economic opportunities. It’s also about providing much-needed laboratories for the Department of Agriculture and other agencies such as the State Police, which have great need for expanded or improved research facilities.
We must think innovatively if we are going to compete with other states and globally in the future. We are already sending more young people to college than ever before and with initiatives like “Bucks for Brains” we are spending more than ever to encourage research and development, but we must turn these investments into high-tech jobs and unique job opportunities for our youngest and brightest.
This is the primary goal of the park - to create a business incubator. Bold decisions like this are the only way we will break from the mold and redesign our state’s future economy to ensure that our citizens have more career opportunities.
I sincerely thank all who were involved in this process. It was a tough decision, we had to weigh every factor, but, in the end, it was the right decision and the entire state will benefit.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE:
My platelet counts have been high. I take hydroxyurea for this. My diagnosis is essential thrombocytosis. Is there a danger of clotting?
Why have they told me not to hold the hydroxyurea capsules in my hand, but to take one directly into my mouth from the bottle? I was told to wash my hands if I accidentally touched one. - J.P.
ANSWER:
Platelets also are called thrombocytes. Essential thrombocytosis is an overproduction of these clotting cells. No one can say with certainty why the bone marrow starts producing them in profusion. It’s logical to think that the biggest danger from overproduction would be clotting. Strangely, the high count is more often associated with bleeding. The mass-produced platelets are poorly assembled.
If people with high platelet counts have no symptoms and no hint of heart disease, often treatment is deferred. If platelet reduction is deemed necessary for health, hydroxyurea is one drug often employed. Your current platelet counts are not in dangerous territory.
Hydroxyurea can be absorbed through the skin and can create skin problems. The manufacturer says to handle only if you wear gloves, or to take it directly from the bottle with a glass of water.
About your pamphlet order: Please write me again, explaining the situation. Put your address in the letter. I don’t get the envelopes sent to me.
Dr. Donohue regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but he will incorporate them in his column whenever possible. Readers may write him or request an order form of available health newsletters at P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 good-quality sweet Italian sausages
1 cup medium-to-coarse cornmeal
Salt
1/2 to 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
2 tablespoons butter
Freshly ground black pepper.
Direction:
Put oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
When oil is hot, add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, until well browned on all sides and cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Set aside.
Meanwhile, put cornmeal in a medium saucepan along with 1 cup water and whisk well to make a slurry; continue whisking mixture to eliminate any lumps.
Put pan over medium-high heat, sprinkle with salt and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook, whisking frequently and adding water as needed to keep mixture loose and free of lumps, between 3 and 4 more cups.
If mixture becomes too thick, simply add a bit more water; consistency should be similar to sour cream’s.
Polenta will be done in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on grind.
Add cheese and butter.
Taste and add salt, if necessary, and lots of pepper; serve topped with sausages.
Servings: 4.
Some bills generate far more emotion than others. This years lone bill on abortion fits that category. Already passed by the Senate, it would require doctors to give women planning an abortion the opportunity to view an ultrasound image of the fetus an hour before a planned abortion. Both sides had their say at a public hearing in the House this morning.

Mr. Hough, you are a liar, a coward, and a thief! You need to review the court record on the matter of 05-F-8 and turn to page 157. And if you fail to act another charge and another federal complaint will be made against you by the end of this business day.
Line 12 HOUGH: What share do you own in the property?
Line 13 R RAFFERTY: I believe that’s 1/6th
The title opinion brought forth in the civil action of Cecil Leon Ramsey II vs. Roanna Arbuckle Rafferty – firmly brings forth the fact that she owned 1/72 and that is it!
Also, if you check the court record Rafferty gave TWO completely conflicting reports to the Sheriff who illegally shut down my timber operation and stole four loads.
You will need to arrange for my attorney to interview all the members of the jury in this case and place yourself under arrest for being involved in a conspiracy to commit perjury causing great harm to another person.
I call for the Gilmer County Commission to immediately suspend Gerald B Hough.
Citizens of Gilmer County if this self important Gilmer County Commission does not act then, I recommend that we make moves to have them all replaced at once by any means possible.

You can be sure that the company doesn’t care at all.

I am still waiting for an answer Mr Hough
By an expensive title opinion, born from this civil action a perjury in a Gilmer County Court case was revealed and proved by documents and fact.
When that perjury results in a wrongful conviction, and money is paid for that perjury, then a conspiracy can be concluded and misconduct of our Gilmer County Prosecutor is once again evident.
WHERE IS YOUR ANSWER GERALD B HOUGH?
This court case proved your wrongdoing and it proved Rafferty committed a crime.
Are you going to hold her accountable, or do you just protect your false witnesses?
Someone broke the law and made a fool out of you at the same time, but you see in Gilmer County that is how it is - if you are one of them it is cool to break the law - if you are out favor you are going to jail even if you are innocent!!
We want an answer Hough and we want it NOW!

This civil action:
Cecil Leon Ramsey II vs. Roanna Arbuckle Rafferty
PROVES WITH COURT RECORD that false testimony was given in circuit court Also Judge Facemire, convinced the jury that we only owned 1/6 and 1/9 when we PAID TAXES on 3/6 which is a matter of record.
Hough did not do his homework- Facemire promoted false facts.
The judge is supposed to sit there and listen with no bias. But that did not happen!!
Hough did not do his homework and it cost me a few hundred thousand dollars
We want an answer Hough- You are as guilty as Rafferty for paying her to lie on the stand.
Give us an answer! What you did was a crime Hough and the citizens want an answer!
YOUR ARE CAUGHT HOUGH by the OUTCOME of this civil action. PROOF!!

Don’t know who is sending or taking the pictures of the trashy places in Glenville but you sure are getting some good ones.
A lot more out there though. Would be curious to see who owns that property that is For Sale.
Don’t figure they will come forth though and disclose their identity.
I don’t think if it were me, I would want to let people know that I let something like that get to the place it is now. Wow, I doubt they could give it away the way it looks and where it is located, let alone expect money for it.
Where is their pride? The Glenville Volunteer Fire Dept. could use these kind of places to train new firefighters, and give additional training to our already dedicated Volunteer Firefighters and rid the town and citizens of the rubbish and trash all at the same time.
If the owners do not want to pay to clean up this mess maybe the Fire Dept. would consider doing a controlled burn, they could bill the owners or our Town Council and the money be used for the Firehouse.
If the owner does not pay the Fire Dept. for cleaning the mess, fine or jail them or both. Just a thought.
There are several places on up River Street that they might get also. The yard beside the Church was mowed, yaaaa, improvement but more to be done. Junk cars and porch still piled up, but I guess one step at a time. The Church people will just have to close their eyes when attending Church, and the neighbors and people just driving by close your eyes..
Maybe someday we will get a surprise and it will be done.
The two houses by Jack’s Septic, pathetic. One even has a sign hanging that says chicken dinners $5.00. Did anyone ever find out who owned these houses?
The old Church property beside the auto shop is owned by Doug Cottrill. Where are you on cleaning this mess up? I wonder if they have very many Formal Complaints being filled out.???
Does it mean if there is not very many complaints filled out that nothing will be done? We the people should not have to file complaints. If the Gilmer County Commissioners, law enforcement, Health Dept. City Council, Mayor, done their jobs and opened their eyes they would see what a mess our town and County is in and take care of the problem.
Our county deserves better than this.

“In the case of Cecil Leon Ramsey II vs. Roanna Arbuckle Rafferty”
Roanna Rafferty perjured herself in a circuit court case –OVER THIS VERY SAME PROPERTY) in which Judge Facemire presided over. A court case in which I was charged with THREE felony charges and beat all three in court, due to the fact I should have never been charged in the first place. The false arrest cost me hundreds of thousands of dollars in expenses (since the matter went all the way to the United States Supreme Court in Washington DC) AND LOSS OF WAGES!! It cost me my new radio show since I was arrested on false charges trying to report to my new cumulus broadcasting work station and KBED 102.9FM afternoon drive show 2-7pm
Roanna lied in court and said she owned 1/6 of the property in question and the jury was convinced of that by Gerald B Hough Gilmer County Prosecutor. It’s all a matter of court record and I have that next to me on my desk.
Actually Roanna Arbuckle Rafferty” had sold that 1/6 to her brother Roger Rafferty when he settled over a civil action accusing him a forging his mother Virginia Rafferty’s will years prior and was in full knowledge she no longer owned it when she appeared in court.
Roanna won the judgment of the 1/6 in the legal action and promptly sold it to Roger for $18,000 cash. My mother was awarded a gas well, but it was never put in our name and Lois Rafferty sold it, even though we owned it legally. That is called a fraudulent conveyance, but yet nothing was done when the criminal complaint was taken to the Sheriff Mickey Metz and the matter was brought to the attention of the prosecuting attorney for Gilmer County.
If during the trial the judge or the prosecutor could have added to 6 they would have discovered that there was a discrepancy in the amount of property everyone testified that they owned, and this matter was included in my recent federal complaint that was reviewed and accepted by an Asst US Attorney.
Actually according to a title opinion that Mr. Ramsey paid for it was determined that Roanna Rafferty only owned 1/72 of the property not 1/6. There were a total of 3/72 that were overlooked and it was determined my grandfather bought the property years ago and left 1/72 to each of his children, in which Roanna was included.
Ramsey paid a great deal of money for that title opinion and was most likely a cost greater than what the 1/72 was worth.
Rafferty also lied about the $1,000 dollars we sent her that she denied receiving from the sale of timber. We had the receipts and showed them in court and she was immediately caught in a lie, yet nothing was done.
A character in my latest book is based on Cecil Leon Ramsey the second who I feel is someone to look up to in the community, and someone that sets a good example about what living a clean wholesome life in West Virginia is truly all about, mixed with honest business relations, and down home consideration for other citizens.
The cost Mr Ramsey has endured just to prove the facts in the case far exceed the value of the property at dispute in this civil action.
What I want to know is where is the Justice in the Gilmer County Court system?
Judge Facemire knows who Roanna Rafferty is, since I am sure he recalls her testimony from a court case in which he has had to defend himself before the Judicial Investigation Commission for misconduct. I doubt that he has forgotten that, since the judges testimony in the matter is still at issue and was recently mentioned in my federal complaint.
If Rafferty is allowed to receive no punishment for perjury involving the amount of property owned which has been determined by this very civil action, then doesn’t that send a message to the public that it is OK to lie in a Gilmer County Court room regarding information referring to ownership of property? And that there will be absolutely no punishment for that false testimony just as long as Gerald B Hough is the prosecutor ?
The gas well that we received in a civil judgment, was sold by Lois Rafferty, but even though a complaint was filed with Sheriff Metz at 1pm on December the 28th 2007 –no action what –so –ever was taken by Sheriff Metz.
Justice in Gilmer County seems to be determined by who you know, and who you are and not actual facts- I have proved myself to be extremely unpopular since I cost the state 750, 000 or more to fight me in two state courts and three federal courts.
I want an answer and I want MR GERALD B HOUGH to explain to all of Gilmer County WHY, if you are caught in false testimony, that there is no consequence for that crime.
Roanna Rafferty was paid 700 dollars by Hough and Gilmer County to bring forward the false testimony.
I would think the county would want it’s money back and to punish Rafferty for the false testimony and making them look bad. But, that is not how it works up on the hill in Gilmer County.
I want an answer Mr Hough!
Gilmer County demands to know. We want an answer!

I agree. It looks to me the commissioners are just passing the buck and making it more difficult for concerned citizens. Or maybe they don’t have the guts to take the position to clean the county. They just want to say to the violators, “if it weren’t because of ‘….’, we would not be here bothering you about this.” What a crock. Or maybe they don’t want to take a position against themselves and their friends who own some of these properties. Or perhaps they are just blind to see and need someone to tell them. Which is it?

Just seen in the weekly paper that we the citizens of Gilmer County can fill out a Formal Complaint Form in the County Clerk’s Office for the neglected, fire hazards and unsafe properties in our County that we want to file a complaint against.
WHAT?
This is all thanks to our County Commission meeting where amendments were made to its Unsafe Buildings and Lands Ordinance.
First of all, I do not think that we as citizens should have to file a complaint. It is a given fact, that the town of Glenville, and all surrounding roads out, are open to anyone that travels this area and can be seen by anyone who has their eyes open.
A complaint form should not be necessary if the ones in authority were doing their jobs in the first place.
They would see it and do something about it without our telling them. People does not have or want to take the time to try to find a parking place at the Court House to go to the Clerk’s Office to fill out this form.
If you get a lot of names and complaints does this mean the problem will be solved or just a few, it will be forgotten?
It is nearly impossible to find a place to park because the College students that do not want to walk on the hill park in the Court House lot. Give that student/vehicle a first offense ticket, and on the second offense tow the vehicle and charge for the towing.
If it happens a third time confiscate the vehicle for 30 days. There are ways to remedy this. Second, a person who signs that complaint form with name address and phone number opens the door to danger and possibly harm to them or their family and home.
Am I right when I say that the records with the complaint forms are open to the public in the County Clerk’s Office? Not a good idea. Having to sign a Formal Complaint Form to get the problem taken care of is STUPID. Officials do your job!!! Anyone agree with this?

I would have loved to have heard that tape, obviously you did, and that is why she was convicted, because the taped evidence proved beyond a doubt there was “INTENT”
That was what nailed her then.
Without the phone recording, the case would have been weak.

You sound very informed on this topic Louise, and it is great to have this type of a mainstream forum to discuss important issues.
I am confused about one issue in this case, and maybe someone can clear it up for me.
The son that was in jail, actually had a right to view all court documents pertaining to his case. If there was an issue with information given to the police, then, that persons name should have been redacted. It should have stated. Confidential informant number so and so stated such and such.
So, therefore, I am confused as to who really is at fault. If the defendant had a right to the documents, and they were delivered sealed from his attorney, then it should not matter who the person was that delivered the documents.
It was the taped conversation with a known drug dealer (the son) that brought about the warrant, so it is my believe, the charges are incorrect.
If there was a conspiracy to get the son, (the defendant) documents he was entitled to, then where is the crime?
The jail should have never had those two in the same pod and that situation could have been worked out by a five minute conversation with the shift commander.
Someone dropped the ball.

Thanks you for doing this feature…such is long overdue. Truth be told, some of the worst eyesores in town are owned by some pretty so-called important people. If the college really wants to attract students to this town, they need to focus on housing IN town, and not be involved in the building of exclusive places like Rivers View…who even ever sees that? But everyone coming to this town sees the deplorable condition of much of our housing. Also, it would be nice if city officials themselves drove around the community from time to time to assess conditions of everything….that is if they can get by on some of the streets that have tree limbs growing so far out they hit your car.

Mr Whitehead, I feel that the conduct at Military Funerals (or any funeral) has a lot more to do with conflicting with the mores of society than the constitution. However, the only recourse to the civilized is through the law. I understand and for the most part agree with your points but please understand my outrage toward those who have no respect for a grieving family. A funeral is not the place for Westboro’s members to voice their beliefs and the conduct should not have to be tolerated. I do not believe it should take a constitutional amendment but perhaps state laws regarding harassment should be revisited. There has to be a way to end the torment of citizens who have already paid the ultimate price for their country.

I think it is a good idea of publishing pictures of the dilapidated buildings, houses with junk and trash in yards and stacked to the ceiling on porches, high grass, and old junk cars.
It is so disgusting, and embarrassing to know that some people in our county live like this.
The Health Dept. should do something along with the law officials, Mayor and County Commissioners.
This is not only disgusting but a health hazard to the people who live in and around these trashy places.
Can you imagine the rats, bugs, snakes and other critters in those places, not to mention the diseases that can be gotten from such filth?
The sad thing is some children have to endure this type of environment.
Sad that we are allowing this by not stepping up to the plate and complaining until action is taken by our elected officials.
Someone needs to take action and get this problem taken care of ASAP.
If they do not clean the messes up, do one, some, or all of the following: pull their drivers licenses, fine them, put them in jail, publish their names and addresses in paper, take pictures of the junk holes and put them in the media.
Something is better than nothing.

A donation should be just that, a donation. I was not asked for a donation, but gave one freely as I and my family have enjoyed the fireworks show for years. Anyone who has been to the fireworks knows that donations have always been take up, even by some whom I believe are doing the complaining now.
I do not believe any one was asked to leave for not giving a donation. If that were the case, there would not have been nearly as many there to watch as there was. I do not know how much was taken in by donations and I am sure many donated freely as well.
The attitude a person perceives coming from others is usually what they give off in the first place. I wonder if when some were asked for a donation what their attitude was, and if they were rude, maybe that is what they perceived they got back. Just a thought…..

There would be no Cedarville Community Assoc. if not for Mrs. S. It was her vision from the very start. She mows for hours not for her benefit, but for the upkeep of the community, because some don’t see the need to keep things looking nice themselves. I don’t know of a harder working person. I am proud to call her my friend as I hope she is to call me hers.
I believe some need to take a long look in the mirror before casting stones at others. “People is glass houses…“ GOD knows I am not perfect and I do not claim to be. None of us are. I hope and pray that the person who started this will take a long look at their reasons behind this and not keep trying to tear this small community apart. You have to be a good neighbor to have a good neighbor. I have lived in or near Cedarville my whole life, too. I guess my memories of who always created problems is different than others. Just goes to show that no two people see things in the same way.

A West Virginian looking at this from a Neutral point of view:
It is a shame for the WV legislature to allow Capito running for two federal offices at the same time.
It is not hard to see the objective of some republicans in this case.
They aren’t sure whether Capito can beat Governor Manchin for Byrd’s unexpired term, so they want to allow her to have her pie and eat it too.
Isn’t this a flawed reasoning?
Running for U.S. House and U.S. Senate at the same time?
Is it because Republican Party accepting the most obvious problem - they have no one else?
Wouldn’t Capito be disallowing another good Republican from running for one of these two offices?
If Capito insists on running for both, wouldn’t she prevent another Republican from winning and serving WV?
I think Congresswoman Shelley Moore Capito should only choose one or the other office and cease this absurdity of possibly running for both.
Wouldn’t this be the right thing to do whether the candidate is Democrat or Republican?
The people of WV are tired of these games and want leaders, not self-servers, running for office and now offices.
One office should be more than enough for anyone. Shouldn’t it?

Yes, it begins with “S” and has three syllables and 4 vowels. Ask any member of the Cedarville community, past or present, and they will tell you who she is. She’s the Mayor! and only business ‘woman’ in C-ville. I’m sure every community has one but she really is one of a kind. No friends, so you can see her any evening finding something to do, ie. mowing grass (especially the properties that are not hers so she can lay claim to and control them)!

Believe me, every small community has a Mrs. S., (too bad it’s not a Mrs. C., as in “Happy Days”...But there is always some one to stir the pot and they aren’t happy until they have drama! They thrive on it, Ignore them, they are like children ..But, this is like The Wheel of Fortune to the rest of us, can we at least know how many vowels are in her name? Is S. the first or last name? Sort of interesting…Our community had the same great thing going every year with a different theme, children & their families had a great time for years, it just took one women and then her “Klan” took it from there, and ruint it for the whole community, with lies and rumors. Sometimes we wonder why..But like I said, I do belive, like there is always one in the family 
, there is always one in a community that can’t stand to have a good time without DRAMA. Ours was and is Mrs. W. (and just 2 vowels).

It is good to see one mess cleaned up in the city that being the burned-out house in Brooklyn that should have been done months ago.
The pictures say it was the joint effort of Gilmer County Commission and the City.
Does that mean that maybe they will do the same with the other places that people have complained about recently, such as the house beside the Catholic Church, trashy trailers and houses in Brooklyn and other places as well?
I seriously doubt it. For some unknown reason they and our law officials do not want to bother with this type of thing.
Can anyone explain this to me???
Why do they not want to give citations for this?
Too much trouble maybe?
Or when they do give tickets the offenders are not made to pay their fines, why?
I bet the offenders get a real kick out of knowing they will not be forced to clean up their place or be forced to pay the fines.
This being a College town I would think they would want to show some pride in our community to draw people.
Not very impressive if you ask me. All four roads leading out of Glenville have many eyesores that need cleaned up.
County Commissioners, Mayor and Glenville City Council, law enforcement and the people who trash their places, please do something to correct this matter and clean up our County.
We the people of this county deserve some answers and most of all ACTION on this issue.

Well actually, if you want to get technical—If you check the figures, actual data that is available—about 70% of all people incarcerated in WV jails and prisons are there for non violent or non-violent property related crimes—crimes that can in no way be considered crimes against mankind. Also there are many people that should not be in jail at all because they are innocent—then there are the people that are claiming to be victims of CREATED CRIMES, crimes that were not crimes at all but somebody was arrested and held, even though later, the facts substantiate that no crime occurred.
I like your answer very much!!

We have been thought 1+1 = 2. But not in politics:
Do you remember Heather Manchin Bresch situation at WVU?
An expensive investigation that found the Governor’s daughter to have not fulfilled the requirements for her MBA despite her insistence to the contrary.
That whole mess was during the short administration of Manchin’s good friend, ex-WVU President Mike Garrison.
When Garrison was put into office without anything like the qualifications of most university presidents, faculty, alumni, and the press all decried the Democratic partisan politics that put Garrison in this position.
Of course, the worst fears were realized, a little over a year into Garrison’s term, when the Garrison Administration appeared to be helping Governor’s daughter obtain a graduate degree without doing all the work.
Do you remember who was the head of the WVU Board of Governors in that affair?
A man named Steve Goodwin, one of the principals of the famed Goodwin family.
Goodwin did his best to help Garrison retain his position, but nothing could keep Garrison from taking the fall over the worst scandal in modern WVU history.
Now Governor Manchin has rewarded Steve Goodwin for all the many services rendered his family by giving the late Ripley lawyer’s son, Carte, the position of being U.S. Senator for a few months.
Carte’s aunt, Kay Goodwin, is also Manchin’s Secretary of the Arts and Education!

That’s just the problem!! Attorney’s are running the state of WV…
For some reason the governor does not think anyone is a leader ...unless they are a member of the WV Bar!!
We NEED leaders that are NOT attorney’s and have NEVER been an attorney!!
Myself, out of the many I have become acquainted with and gotten to know, there are only a few Lawyers I like—and less than that are honest!!
Attorney’s in West Virginia cover for each other, even when they know that another has done wrong!!
But, if we are going to appoint an attorney why can’t we appoint someone that, really truly will be a representative of the people. Someone who it would go against their very being to be dishonest—and someone we could all trust with our life and that is Jefferson Triplett from Elkins!
If we have to have an attorney for a leader, lets make the proper choice from the start.
