MANCHIN Staff to Visit Area Counties

The Gilmer Free Press

U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is pleased to announce that his office will launch its fifth “Commonsense Connections” Week beginning Monday, May 20, 2013.

Representatives from Senator Manchin’s office will make more than 95 stops across West Virginia – traveling to all 55 counties – to meet with constituents, hear their commonsense priorities and concerns, and gather their feedback.

“Bringing the government directly to our citizens and knowing their concerns and ideas have always been top priorities for me as a former governor and now as U.S. Senator,” Senator Manchin said. “West Virginians should have access to assistance and that is what ‘Commonsense Connections’ is all about – my staff travels to every corner of the state, to every county, and meets with West Virginians to hear about their personal challenges and suggestions for Washington.”

Senator Manchin launched his first-ever “Commonsense Connections” Week in February 2011, when representatives from his office traveled to all 55 counties in the state. This is the fifth time the staff has crisscrossed the state for “Commonsense Connections.”

Funding from Health Reform Law to Help Uninsured West Virginians Get Affordable Health Coverage

The Gilmer Free Press

$2.4 Million Available for 27 Community Health Centers Across West Virginia

Senator Jay Rockefeller today announced $2,483,778 in federal funding from the health reform law to give community health centers the ability to help uninsured West Virginians enroll in affordable health plans. This announcement comes as advocates and health care professionals gather in Flatwoods, West Virginia for the Enroll West Virginia Conference to discuss expanding Medicaid and enrolling West Virginians in the new health insurance marketplace.

“Community health centers play a critical role in keeping West Virginians healthy, which is why I pushed to increase funding in the health reform law to boost their services,” said Rockefeller. “West Virginia’s community health centers serve thousands each year, and can help even more by making sure consumers have the guidance and education they need to choose a health plan that works for them. This funding will provide more resources for our local health workers so they can meet with more families in need of affordable care.”

Rockefeller has worked in the Senate to make health care more affordable and accessible. He played a strong role in making sure the health reform law secures robust investments in community health centers so they can continue to provide primary and preventive care and help the uninsured get coverage. The health care law provides $150 million for enrollment assistance nationwide. The 27 eligible community health centers in West Virginia provide care for over 380,000 West Virginians.

This funding was made available through the health reform law, and is disbursed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). It will give health centers the opportunity to hire new staff, train existing staff, perform community outreach, and hold educational events to help consumers better understand coverage options and eligibility, and to enroll uninsured West Virginians in new affordable health insurance plans. The in-person assistance and education is part of the Obama Administration’s efforts to make applying for health insurance easier and more understandable. The funding is given to the state to distribute to community health centers that apply for state-administered grants.


Below are the 27 eligible community health centers in the state:

•  Belington Community Medical Services Association—Belington, WV

•  Bluestone Health Association—Princeton, WV

•  Cabin Creek Health Center—Dawes, WV

•  Camden-On-Gauley Medical Center—Camden-on-Gauley, WV

•  Change—Weirton, WV

•  Clay Battelle Health Services Association—Blacksville, WV

•  Community Care of West Virginia—Rock Cave, WV

•  Community Health Systems—Beckley, WV

I would like to try and summarize this article.
I am Jay Rockefeller and I just helped spend another 2.4 million of your tax dollars on more government that you didn’t even need or want.
He neglected to mention that you will also be getting thousands of new IRS agents to enforce the law.

By Burnt Weiney  on  05.15.2013

Dear Burnt. I can’t wait until our IRS gets their hands on your med records to go with the financial records.  We will be able to have more scandal with all that good stuff.  thanks, ‘J’

Community Concerns™: Delegates Walker and Boggs, Why Tolerate Withholding of Information for Gilmer County’s Schools

The second year anniversary for the State’s seizure of Gilmer County’s school is near. Seizing control of the schools by the State humiliated the County and to add insult, citizens have not been informed of improvements the State has made during its rule plus the remaining tasks to be completed before the school system can be restored to local control.

The failure of the State to disclose information promotes a belief that it is treating Gilmer’s citizens similar to conquered people under martial law. In addition to be denied information they have no say in how their tax money is used for schools or anything else associated with administration of the County’s public schools.

Despite assurances that the State’s knows what it best for public schools there is no credible proof that in other counties with seized school systems education outcomes have markedly better. Take McDowell County for an example.  After a decade of State control too many of its children remain non-proficient in reading and math.

The Gilmer Free Press


Honorable Delegates, you have authority to require the WV Department of Education to provide citizens with the following information and an urgent appeal is made for your intervention. The information is known to be accessible through your authority as legislators.

# By referring to the audit report preceding the seizure of the County’s schools what are the specific tasks that have been completed to eliminate documented deficiencies?

# What specific tasks remain to be completed before all the school system’s deficiencies are corrected?

# What is the State’s schedule for completing remaining tasks to enable citizens to know when the school system can be returned to local control, and why did the State fail to submit its official exit plan promised in 2012?

With the State’s present way of doing business it appears that it authorized itself open ended options to do as it pleases with Gilmer County’s schools while avoiding any accountability, an anathema to good government.

Taking away local oversight caused more than one problem. The Super hired a principal for Troy who was unable to work and he was paid anyway, the Super failed to secure natural gas access for the new Linn school and that blunder will cost taxpayers unnecessary money because of higher electricity costs, and we hear that the Super plans to use excess levy money to purchase the school site along Cedar Creek. Before the election he assured us that the money was needed for basic expenses to keep the school system functioning and nothing was disclosed about its use to purchase land. We were hoodwinked big time folks. What else is there that we don’t know about because of the State’s lid on information?

By Ralph Morgan  on  05.13.2013

Gilmer residents who voted for the levy should know their tax money is not used for students as indicated. Just to mention one, Blankenship illegally used the excess levy funds to replace the phone system for about $80,000.00.
There was not anything wrong with the phone system when he replaced them. But now we have a system, which does not work and does not function as promised. In Gilmer County under state control the kids and teachers are not first.

By a boe employee [23]  on  05.13.2013

There are very important legal issues that need addressed in this Gilmer School debacle.
Apparently both Superintendent Blankenship and principal Butcher have stated publicly, that there have been several students expelled from school.
Expulsions from more than one school.
The elected school board was not informed nor were they involved either.
Discipline and school trips were the only two items your school board can vote on.  These issues are under their control.
Seems Blankenship has taken it upon himself alone to be the “court of expulsion” without informing or involving the school board.
These students and their parents were denied their “day of court” with the school board being excluded.
How long must Gilmer County citizens be treated in this fashion?
Governor Tomblin and Delegate Boggs and Walker.  Please help!
Obviously there is NO oversight of Blankenship.  There is NO oversight of the State of West Virginia Board of Education.
Governor, Delegates.  You have a responsibility to resolve these issues.

By its your elected duty  on  05.13.2013

I attended one of the levy meetings where Superintendent Blankenship and Board President Bill Simmons was actually telling all of us how desperate this levy was for the children.  The levys funds would be used to buy books and tablets that were needed but there was not enough money in the budget to purchase.  The Superintendent and the school board appeared to be ‘selling’ the levy to those of us attending.
Are you saying that the levy funds are and will not be used as was presented to us in the public meetings?

By really?  on  05.13.2013

Our problem is the superintendent who thinks he is knows it all. He has always does his work, if any, in secrecy. He really likes his back scratched in all of his dealing. I hope I am getting the point across. He does not want the state to communicate with people in the county. How many times the state officials have mentioned that Blankenship should have explained or been at a meeting?

By must look at the source of problem  on  05.13.2013

If the school board, as a balanced group of elected representatives are supposed to have control of discipline, but Blankenship jumps ahead of the Board, wouldn’t the parents and students have a solid basis for a suit against both Blankenship and the State ?  Parents, you need to speak out!
So how many times has this happened that the board and no one else is aware of?
What makes Blankenship think he has been appointed judge, jury and hangman for our Gilmer County children?

By where's the oversight  on  05.13.2013

To the Board of Ed[23] employee and the 80K unnecessary, non-working phone system.  The bus drivers say that their bus radios were working OK when Blankenship had them replaced.  Can you tell us how much that cost the taxpayer?  Do you know how much the salary was that was paid to the Troy Principal who never showed even one day for work?    And people wonder why the taxpayers are hissed off with this mafia payola system?
Superintendent Blankenship.  You are a *radio guy* ?  How about telling where all those good used radios reside today?  Tell your school board in a public meeting, so everyone knows.

By in crooked county  on  05.13.2013

Buying unnecessary stuff is a habit of Blankenship. This is the way he makes his kickbacks under the table!

By think about it  on  05.13.2013

This glaring example of purposely withholding information from the public extends to Mr. Ted Matterin, Mr. Charles Heinlein, Dr. Linger, Gayle Manchin, and Governor Tomblin. The problem could be resolved within days if the individuals would exhibit courage to act. An investigation needs to be done to expose how State interventions have failed, what the expenses to WV taxpayers have been, and how our public school children have suffered from the gross incompetency while the State tinkered over the years. Does anyone know if Ron Blankenship receives his 120 K salary in addition to his State retirement money, and does Ted Matterin get his consulting fees paid in addition to his regular State retirement? It is no wonder that the individuals do not want to speed up the return of our schools to County control because it is would be against their financial interests.

By J. D. Lingenfelter  on  05.14.2013

Mrs. Hurley, could the Coalition get us information for the compensation for Ron Blankenship and Ted Matterin for a GFP posting? Citizens have a right to know. This school mess raises serious questions about who profits from funds being spent and the treatment of Williamson and Shriver is one of many issues needing to be looked into. Why does the firm get what is believed to be no-bid contacts to have a monopoly on school building projects? Is any of Mark Manchin’s SBA money to W & S from federal sources to give the feds justification for investigating?

By Earl Batson  on  05.14.2013

Good point Earl Batson.  Remember, the ‘education budget’ portion of state expenses, is over 50% of the entire state budget.  Mark Manchin is son of A.J., former treasurer.  Remember that deal?  If our new AG ever starts investigating corruption, he will need to at least double his staff.

By Anonymous For a Reason  on  05.14.2013

Earl B.  So sorry to be late responding, had some down time.  Last year’s BOE financial statement showed Mr. Blankenship receiving $123,000 and a little over $4,000 in travel.  As to Mr. Mattern, I will try to find who issues his contract and if we would be provided that info or will a Freedom of Information request necessary.
I know that Gilmer County BOE did not hire W&S.  There was no bid.The state issued that contract.  It is my understanding the state has a list of “approved vendors”.  I believed those were vendors that meet state criteria such as insurance, bonding, product specs. etc. I have found no evidence that being included on that list exempts a company or an entity from the laws regarding public improvements and bidding whether education or no.

By N Hurley  on  05.15.2013

Norma, are Blankenship and Matterin double dipping to receive their regular State retirement benefits plus full compensation for their school system work too This is information WV taxpayers should know. Thank you.

Action Plan Comes Alive to Meet Governor’s Education Challenges

The Gilmer Free Press

West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE) members reviewed during their monthly meeting steps taken during the past four months to address six challenges presented by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin as part of his education agenda.

In response to the challenge to certify teacher education programs and direct professional development to support reading on grade level by the end of third grade, the board approved new goals for professional development aligned to the governor’s plan. Included in the new professional development goals is a specific objective to increase the knowledge and skills of all pre-kindergarten through third grade educators to deliver a comprehensive early childhood education that includes a balanced approach to early literacy.

Related to the establishment of a commission to review the current governance structure of the 55 county boards of education and the costs that necessitates, the Commission on School District Governance and Administration held its inaugural meeting in early May. Members of the group received a perspective of established education entities in West Virginia. This knowledge lays the foundation for future work.

As part of the challenge to aggressively pursue the use of Regional Education Service Agencies (RESA) to create efficiencies and to decentralize the delivery of professional development services, two train-the-trainer sessions have been conducted in RESA 3 and RESA 7.  RESA 3 includes Boone, Clay, Kanawha and Putnam counties; RESA 7 serves Barbour, Doddridge, Gilmer, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, Randolph, Taylor, Tucker and Upshur counties.

Approximately 300 attendees received professional development during these sessions. Participants included central office administrators, principals, teachers, higher education representatives and institutional education representatives.

Members of the state board held a follow-up meeting with Pierpont Community and Technical College and the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation to guarantee the coordination of staff in cross-counseling efforts between public education and community colleges to ensure high school graduates are prepared for a career. The group discussed a north central cross-counseling pilot and an additional pilot at Southern West Virginia Community and Technical College.  This pilot program will provide career awareness and career counseling services to middle school students through a collaborative, public and post-secondary education team.

To meet the challenge of requiring every career center in West Virginia to adopt or develop at least one career pathway that meets Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) standards for Preparation for Tomorrow, the state board and the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) have signed an Memorandum of Understanding with the SREB to implement High Schools that Work, Technology Schools that Work, advanced career pathways and math design modules.

Members of the board joined former Governor Bob Wise to announce West Virginia would be the first state to implement Project 24. This announcement supports a challenge by Governor Earl Ray Tomblin to investigate Project 24 and advise the Governor’s Office on using technology to personalize and enhance the education of all students. The state board and Governor Tomblin also co-authored a letter to all county superintendents regarding Project 24. The letter encouraged all districts to complete a review of classroom technology and digital learning infrastructure in the state. Districts also were encouraged to complete the Project 24 self assessment, providing valuable feedback from the districts that will help the state frame its vision for student learning, recognize aspects of the education system that need to be addressed, and specify how technology can help align these efforts to college- and career-ready standards.

Finally, the board and the WVDE are working to reduce paperwork for educators in both counties and schools.  Plans are now under way to simplify Title I and Title II plans, and make significant revisions in the existing strategic planning process for counties and schools.

PROJECT 24

“If you’re a school or district leader who is considering using education technology and digital learning in your schools, STOP—and go no further—until you have a comprehensive plan that addresses your district’s specific challenges and learning goals for all students,” said Bob Wise, president of the Alliance for Excellent Education and former governor of West Virginia. “Project 24 will help districts plan for the future and fully integrate digital learning into classrooms and school systems to achieve the goal of college and career readiness for all students.”
The “24” in Project 24 represents the next twenty-four months, a time during which the nation’s education landscape will change greatly as states and districts face numerous challenges, including the need to implement college- and career-ready standards for all students; utilize online assessments to gauge comprehension and learning; push for greater system and classroom innovation; deal with shrinking budgets; and contend with demands of states’ waivers from key provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act.

Wouldn’t it be great if they could actually read and do simple math by 6th grade ?

By anonymous in Crooked County  on  05.13.2013

This is just going to prove out as superfluous, ‘put a new dress on the old problem, and no one will recognize it’ ,government styled charade.
Remember how Linger and board of education told the Governor how ‘they’ were not in agreement of the audit?

G-otcha™: Federal Guilty Plea for Illegal Firearm Possession by Starcher

The Gilmer Free Press

A Roane County man who broke into a camper van and stole several firearms pleaded guilty to being a felon in possession of firearms.

Robert Allen Starcher, age 29, of Spencer, WV, entered into a guilty plea in federal court in Charleston.

On January 01, 2012, Starcher broke into a camper van that was located in Walton, Roane County, WV, and took four rifles and two shotguns that were inside.

Following the burglary, Starcher took the firearms that he had stolen from the camper, along with other stolen goods, and traded the items for an SUV.

Starcher was prohibited from possessing firearms because of multiple prior felony convictions.

Starcher was convicted in September 2007 in the Circuit Court of Ritchie County of transferring stolen goods.

Starcher was also convicted in January 2007 in the Circuit Court of Calhoun County of grand larceny.

Starcher also had prior felony convictions in Gilmer and Braxton counties from 2006. 

Starcher faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine when he is sentenced on August 15, 2013 by United States District Judge John T. Copenhaver, Jr.

This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods.

Project Safe Neighborhoods is a nationwide commitment to reduce gun crime in the United States by networking existing local programs targeting gun crime.

Area Counties’ Lifeline Customers Eligible for Broadband Discount

The Gilmer Free Press

Lifeline-eligible customers in eight West Virginia counties served by Frontier Communications can subscribe to broadband service for discounted rates through a limited-time Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pilot program.

The FCC’s Lifeline program, which historically provided a discount for phone service for qualifying low-income consumers, will support broadband adoption through discounts for broadband services and the promotion of digital literacy as part of a yearlong pilot program, Dana Waldo, senior vice president and general manager for Frontier in West Virginia, said in a news release.

The program will serve eligible customers in Mason, Calhoun, Jackson, Pleasants, Ritchie, Roane, Wirt and Wood counties.

Frontier is working with Future Generations, a West Virginia nonprofit organization, to provide computer training to participants and demonstrate the value of broadband.

“Providing opportunities for low-income West Virginians to obtain broadband is critical in building our state’s capacity for continued economic growth,“ LeeAnn Shreve, director of Future Generations Rural America, said in the release. Future Generations Rural America also offers low-cost refurbished laptops to this same demographic through a partnership with Mission West Virginia.

Residents interested in participating in the program or receiving more information can call 1.888.483.6767 to speak with a Frontier broadband consultant.

West Virginia History Whiz Kids Become Knights of the Golden Horseshoe - 2013

The Gilmer Free Press

More than 200 eighth grade students from across West Virginia on Friday received the prestigious Golden Horseshoe award for outstanding knowledge of West Virginia history and culture.

State Superintendent Jim Phares inducted the students from all 55 counties as Knights of the Golden Horseshoe Society during a pinning ceremony at the Cultural Center. The award is considered one of the greatest honors bestowed upon students in West Virginia.

“As a former history teacher it was a great honor to have a role in this ceremony,“ Phares said. “The Golden Horseshoe is coveted by many in the state, but received by very few. It is an honor that these students can be proud of for years to come.“

The Gilmer Free Press


The Golden Horseshoe test has been administered in West Virginia each year since 1931 and is the longest running program of its kind in the United States. The top-scoring students in each county receive the prestigious award. Each county has at least two winners. The exam tests student knowledge on West Virginia citizenship, civics and government, economics, geography, history and current events.

The Golden Horseshoe originated in the early 1700s in Virginia when then-Gov. Alexander Spotswood saw the need for exploration of the land west of the Allegheny Mountains, most of which is now West Virginia. Spotswood organized a party of about 50 men to explore the frontier. At the end of the exploration, he presented each member of the party with a golden horseshoe. Translated from Latin, the inscription on each horseshoe read, “Thus it was decided to cross the mountains.“ On the other side was written, “Order of the Golden Horseshoe.“ Because of this, the recipients became known as ‘The Knights of the Golden Horseshoe.‘“
