GSC Baseball Team Helps Spruce up Yeager Airport
In their first season of intercollegiate baseball since 1983, the Glenville State College Pioneers have struggled through growing pains that were to be expected from a first-year program.
A small roster of mostly young inexperienced players has led to a 5-38 record.
However, the record belies the hard work and dedication that the team has demonstrated both on and off the field.
During the course of this first season, the Pioneers have not only put in the long hours required for practice travel and playing so many games, but they also found time to give back to their community and their state.
The Pioneer baseball team pitched in to help Yeager Airport
On Friday, April 20, 2012, prior to an afternoon double-header with the Yellow Jackets of West Virginia State University, the Pioneer Baseball team spent the morning beautifying the entrance area to Yeager Airport in Charleston, West Virginia. The players and coaches landscaped and planted Rhododendrons and other decorative plants near the new airport sign.
“It was an honor for the baseball team to represent Glenville State College with the beautification of Yeager Airport. I believe that it is our duty to in some way repay the community for the support and opportunities that we are given as athletes,“ said GSC Head Baseball Coach Tom Gilbert.
“The Glenville State baseball team was a tremendous help in the ongoing beautification efforts at Yeager Airport. Their teamwork was evident as they planted shrubs and placed mulch around the entrance sign to the airport. We are so pleased with the tremendous partnership that has been forged between GSC and Yeager Airport, said Rick Atkinson, Airport Director.
The morning’s work was the latest effort by the Glenville State College ‘Adopt an Airport’ project which started in 2009. The project is a partnership between the Glenville State College Land Resources Department and Yeager Airport to environmentally reclaim the land that was disturbed during the extension of the runway. GSC students, faculty, staff, and volunteers have spent many hours planting trees on the slopes around the airport that had been cleared for runway extension. To date, the GSC initiative has resulted in the planting of more than ten-thousand trees at the site.
Pioneer baseball team with a job well done
“The work that was done by the GSC baseball team is some very nice window dressing for the reclamation that has already been accomplished at the airport. We plan to include yearly beautification projects as part of our Earth Day activities and our ongoing effort to help Yeager Airport,“ said Dr. Bob Henry Baber, GSC Major Gifts Officer who has spearheaded the ‘Adopt an Airport’ project.
The planting at Yeager Airport was just the latest community service project conducted by the GSC baseball team. The team has also spent time visiting with residents of the local nursing home on a few occasions, assisted the Gilmer County Recreation Center with some moving chores, and helped raise money for the GSC Relay for Life.
“As a team, we really enjoyed our service projects. It is good to get out in the community and meet the public and let them get to know us. These types of activities helps build character and brings us more together as a team,“ said Brock McClung, Pioneer pitcher/third baseman. McClung is a sophomore Environmental Science major from Point Pleasant (Mason County), West Virginia.

GSC Selects New Pioneer Mascot for 2012-2013
Niekoli ‘Nicco’ Mills, a sophomore from New Cumberland (Hancock County), West Virginia has been chosen as the Glenville State College Pioneer Mascot for the 2012-2013 school year.
He was selected after completing the Pioneer Mascot application process which includes an essay, references, and an interview with the selection committee.
“I have always had a lot of school spirit at Oak Glen High School and now here at GSC, so I thought that I would make a great Pioneer. I am going to do everything I can to motivate the students and fans at Pioneer athletic contests and other GSC events,“ said Mills
Mills is majoring in criminal justice at GSC and hopes to pursue a career investigating sexual based crimes. He is well acquainted with Pioneer athletics. Mills throws the discus, hammer, and shot put as a member of the GSC Track and Field team.
As the GSC Pioneer, Mills’ duties will include attending GSC football and basketball games, tournaments, and other school events. The Pioneer is charged with working with GSC students, faculty, and staff to positively promote and support the college. The official uniform of the GSC Pioneer mascot is a set of buckskins, a coonskin hat, and a musket.
“Niekoli Mills will be a wonderful asset to the Glenville State College community as our next GSC Pioneer. Nicco, as most of the students refer to him, is very humble about becoming the Pioneer. He is truly excited for this position and has some wonderful ideas to get school spirit up on campus. His excitement is truly contagious and I cannot wait to see what he has in store for being the Pioneer,“ said Jodi Ocheltree, GSC Director of Student Activities and a member of the Pioneer selection committee.
The new Pioneer will begin his tenure at the GSC Fall Convocation on Friday, August 17, 2012. His first football game as the Pioneer Mascot will be on Thursday, September 06, 2012 when the Pioneers host Fairmont State University at 7:00 PM at Morris Stadium.
“I am going to try to lead by the example of my Pioneer spirit. Hopefully that will help the entire campus and community get excited and involved too,“ added Mills.
Mills is the son of Munch and Dineen Mills of New Cumberland.

Glenville State’s Baseball Team Does Community Work in Charleston
Instead of bats and balls, the Glenville State College baseball team had rakes and shovels in hand Friday morning, April 21, 2012.
They worked with the staff at Yeager Airport in Charleston on a beautification project at the entranceway of the state’s largest airport.
The team was in the Charleston area to play West Virginia State University Friday afternoon and Coach Tom Gilbert says his guys were up for a challenge.
“They were gung-ho to come down here and do a little community service,“ the coach said.
The players planted small pines and flowering bushes at the Yeager Airport welcome sign on the way up the hill to the facility.
Two members of the team are forestry majors.
They felt right at home digging in the dirt. For some of the others, it was a first time experience.
Glenville has been working with Yeager for several years.
Students and faculty re-landscaped the hillside facing I-77 in 2008 after the airport moved mountains of earth to lengthen the runway.
“Four years ago they planted over 10,000 trees at the airport and we thought we’d come and add a little to that with the beautification of the entrance,” Coach Gilbert said.“
With a new sign and new landscaping, Yeager Airport has a brand new look.

It is great that there are more posting about student accomplishments. The non jocks deserve praise too. Regarding land reclamation work for the students, why is it that the marred hillside at Hays City behind Waco is not taken on as a community improvement project by GSC? That place is a severe eyesore. Perhaps local citizens could take up a collection to pay for the project. Ike’s memorial mound along Mineral Road has good ground cover thanks to proper land care.
By GSC PROF on 04.23.2012
Your kidding right??? The community should take up a collection and use THEIR money to fix a problem that Ike made!! Whats wrong with his money?
The community did not create the eyesore, Ike did and he should be made to fix it.. just dont hold your breath~~

Geez Louise, it is too bad the baseball team couldn’t help in cleaning up the RAPE PROBLEM at GSC. Several VICTIMS have expressed an opinion that it is NOT SAFE for ANY FEMALE AT GSC!!
Nice, plant some tree’s but ravage the women, and leave them totally ruined, humiliated and psychological, and physically damaged, with all their hopes in dreams SHATTERED!!
Just look what GERRY HOUGH did to Mary Hudnall. Mary was a nice girl that worked at the GO MART, and they frightened her enough with threats of BEING RAPED AGAIN, from what I am told if she showed up to testify against GABE PHROPHET a football player in magistrate court.

In regards to the hillside at Hay City, I heard that the Land Resources Dept. or someone at GSC approached the Dept. of Highways about planting some trees there and they were turned down. I don’t know how factual that is. There should be something there besides a large expanse of grass.
By Anita Simpson on 04.23.2012
That hillside at Hays City. Isn’t that where the road is to built, up over the hill to the College’s big, humongous, dirt pile, stalled project, is supposed to go?
The project that is being rebid, leaving OUT the medical portion, since the medical folks at Minnie Hamilton said it was not a sustainable project?
No sense planting tress where the GC Dirt Mover will build a road?

Court Ruling Strikes Down WVSSAC Rule
Public and private schools should be treated equally.
That was the reasoning behind Mon County Circuit Court Judge Russell Clawges ruling striking down a WVSSAC transfer rule that required students transferring from public to private schools to sit out a year of athletics while transfers to public schools could play immediately.
Robert Konchesky challenged the rule when his daughter was declared ineligible after transferring from University High School to Trinity Christian School.
Clawges told the WVSSAC it had two options, it could rule all transfer students ineligible for grant temporary eligibility to Konchesky’s daughter.
Clawges did not set a date for when the WVSSAC must make a decision.

G-LtE™: We the People Have the Power If We Have the Will
In the Gilmer County High School pedophilia scandal and cases involving teachers and coaches, many wonder how the perpetrators get away with the crimes for so long and how the sexual assaults on children have been ignored by the principal for years.
Reportedly, teachers have seen the assaults but looked the other way. None of the other students would go to any victim’s aid fearing retaliations from the principal or assistant principal.
The administration has kept everyone defenseless and quiet, allowing some teachers and coaches to prey on the students unchecked.
No one reports the abuse, mostly because they fear the principal and the corruption in law enforcement and the legal system in Gilmer County, WV.
Obviously, it is hard to know what to do, and for students it always seemed easier to let it go.
It has happened repeatedly, whether they are teachers, coaches or Gilmer County Schools officials.
Most of us have had that teacher at one point in our youth who made a significant impact on our lives. The person who instilled something no other teacher could, whether they forced us to use our brains in ways we never imagined or simply became our friends; we will never forget them.
But then there is the teacher, coach who makes a mark in a different way, a teacher or coach so wonderful that students love attending his/her class/team just so they could daydream about his/her embarking on a journey down statutory rape lane with them.
The sad part is good people — because of friendships — become paralyzed by inaction, giving wrongdoers an open playground.
The crimes only get worse if not stopped.
But who is going to stop them?
The Sheriff who is part of the crime?
The prosecutor who doesn’t take time to properly research a case?
The principal who thinks all of these behaviors are normal?
The Superintendent who cannot make a decent decision on his own?
The State Police who are controlled by the elite?
The politicians who caused the school system takeover for the wrong reasons?
The state board of education who gave in to politicians and the elite?
The corruption is deep, but we the people have the power to end the madness if we have the will.

CommunityConcerns™: Should BE THANKS, But It Is NO THANKS
The Gilmer Free Press has received multiple concerns from the teachers, staff, and community members regarding the latest decision made by the Gilmer County Principal.
Following is the summary of over 50 concerns:
In the analysis of Gilmer County’s performance using data from U.S. Department of Education on The Gilmer Free Press on 09.12.11 : CommunityConcerns™: Highest Praises to Gilmer County’s Elementary Schools, But GCHS?
We can easily see the county’s raking is 14th among West Virginia’s 55 counties just because of the performance of our Elementary Schools.
Had it not been because of the declining performance at the high school in past 3 years, Gilmer County would have been ranked higher.
Again many thanks go to our Elementary Schools.
It is an undeniable fact that the performance has decreased at the High School not because of the faculty and staff, but only due to bad leadership and irrational demands.
But what type of thanks out Elementary Schools get from the High School?
This is the example:
This is very upsetting to the affected personnel because “A Legitimate Gilmer County Board of Education” had approved the privilege to be different.
But apparently it is now OK for the High School Principal to just take it upon herself to change this?
Is she trying to make up and pay for the fine of about $2,000.00 imposed on Gilmer County High School by WVSSAC because she did not follow the correct procedures when Gilmer forfeited the game against Wirt?
Or is it because now she has all the power to do what she wants against the will of the people of Gilmer County and their representatives..
We are against this decision and we feel it should be reversed by the imposed superintendent Blankenship.

2nd Annual Moss Family Memorial Softball Tournament - Saturday, September 10, 2011
Wednesday, September 07, 2011
Your Support Is Appreciated: 2nd Annual Moss Family Memorial Softball Tournament
The 2nd Annual Moss Family Memorial Softball Tournament will be held on September 10, 2011 at Cedar Creek State Park beginning at 8:00 AM and running until the last game ends.
Concessions, raffle tickets for a quilt, magazine rack, foot stool, 50/50 tickets, and Moss Memorial T-shirts will be sold.
All donations will go to Christopher Sprouse.
Chris is the son of Stephen and Carol Sprouse of Normantown. He resides on Little Bull Run Road with his wife, Angela, and two girls, Sydney and Hayley.
On June 21, while at work for Bi-Con Services, Inc. in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania Chris felt very ill. He had his supervisor to take him to the hospital. He was diagnosed with heat exhaustion and then was sent home. He had been staying at the Best Western in Morgantown. Angela went to the hospital to get him to take him back to the hotel. During the night he got up and she noticed a rash on his feet and legs and he could barely walk. She called 911 and they rushed him to Ruby Memorial Hospital where he still is today. He was diagnosed with Bacterial Meningitis.
The type of Bacterial Meningitis that he had was Neisseria. This type of meningitis affects the blood which settled in both of his legs and in his right arm. He spent 10 days in ICU on the ventilator. He has had eight surgeries on his legs for debriding and to do skin grafts. He is scheduled to have another surgery this week on his Achilles tendons on both legs and then to have muscle transplants next week.
In weeks to follow, he will be in extensive rehabilitation so that he can learn to walk again.
He enjoys receiving cards.
All of your help and support would be gladly appreciated.
Try to come out and support the cause.
If you would like to donate, buy tickets on the raffle prizes, or have questions, please call Carol Sprouse at 304.462.5226 or Carol Jarvis at 304.462.4937.

The message should be much more important than the messenger but still people just don’t read or take the responsibility of independent thinking. It seems more important to know who said it, to be on the “right” side. I don’t like bullies. I don’t care for people telling others what they should and should not say or how to say it. That’s my right, my opinion. Don’t have any problem signing my name to this but for now I’ll just use…
