G-Vine™: Heard It Through G-Vine – 05.22.13
Community talk heard through the G-Vine:
Questions arise regarding the sudden and unexpected resignation of Mayor Tashua Allman-Duval:
• Is it true that the Mayor has not been at City Hall or able to be reached by phone during the past three weeks while her mail remains unopened.
• Is it true that immediately prior to this the Mayor’s home furnishings were offered for sale on Facebook?
• Is it true the Allman-Duvall’s have not been seen at their home for at several weeks?
• Will the Mayor attend the final City Council meeting of her term in June?
• Is it true that no Council person or Employee of City Hall was aware of the resignation before the letter on the GFP?
• Why would the Mayor resign after the ballot was printed and after the time anyone could file for that office even as a write-in?
• Was the Mayor’s resignation a political ploy to insure election of one remaining Candidate?
• Could the timing of this resignation be a coincidence or a product of the same old game of political gain which has caused so much voter apathy in Gilmer County?
• Is it true the GSC Baseball Coach Gilbert got fired because he wouldn’t play the politics game?
• Is it true the WV State Police had to use dogs to search the Gilmer County High School all night Sunday due to pipe bomb threat on Facebook?

If I had a dollar for every person that said they don’t vote anymore because “it doesn’t matter what you vote for, they do what they want anyway”, my cruise to Greece would be paid for.
Wish no bad on the ex-Mayor but given how business is done around here it’s too much of a coincidence.
Last election was what, 15 or 16 votes all together?
No doubt the family will be all that votes this time.

For those four years the City got to pay a higher salary for Mayor and went from a part time to a full time secretarial position. The City doesn’t own the Park where we’re not allowed to sit and eat lunch on a bench. City taxpayers got a bill to remodel the Mayor’s office, We still have crumbling sidewalks, no street paving, collapsing water, sewer and drain lines, a failing treatment plant that badly needs an upgrade along with higher water and sewer bills. We paid the highest tax rate in the county for a couple of parties and 2 dogs to feed and vet. No infrastructure improvements and absolutely no maintenance. We did learn the Mayor likes to party.
According to three Council members and the main office it’s all true. Knowing all this it’s real easy to believe they got rid of one more that won’t play ball for the politicos at the High School.

The city council is also at fault for letting the mayor be more interested in her secret affairs of throwing sex toys parties rather than taking care of the city.
By Glenville deserves better on 05.22.2013
Take a look at our city, filthy with trash everywhere, weeds growing on the streets, filthy roads, you name it….
By sydni Q on 05.22.2013
Mayor Allman must have influenced the college to keep all the flowerbeds on campus, once pretty, trashy looking and full of weeds as well. Just go and take a look. what do you say Tommy and Tim?

GSC Criminal Justice Summer Camp Being Planned
With summer just around the corner, final preparations are being made for the annual Glenville State College Criminal Justice Summer Camp.
The four-day event will take place June 24 through June 28, 2013.
Organizers say it is a perfect opportunity for students in grades eight through twelve to get an in-depth look at what goes on at crime scenes and in the criminal justice system.
“The 2013 Glenville State College Criminal Justice Camp will teach the students a basic understanding of crime scene investigation. Hands-on activities will allow them to process a crime scene, develop suspects, and prosecute the suspects in a mock court proceeding.” said GSC Center for Criminal Justice Studies Lab Director Ron Taylor. Other activities include observing real-world cybercrime investigations, using of state-of-the-art forensics lab, and processing evidence for fingerprints. In addition, the camp will conclude with a trip to the Huttonsville Correctional Center where students will get a chance to view a real parole board hearing in process.
Taylor says the camp is popular because of criminal investigation shows such as NCIS and CSI that draw a large number of people to the television each week to witness crime scene investigations and crime solving skills. “Students attending the camp will have the opportunity to experience what they see on television first hand,” said Taylor.
Tuition is $350 and will cover food, housing, camp supplies, and the field trip. To register or for more information, contact Taylor at
or 304.462.3090.

Thanks for letting us know. Too bad she didn’t say this before the ballot was printed and it’s too late for anybody else to file.
By Thanks Again on 05.21.2013
Thank you for the professional way you informed your town council of your actions.
Always nice to learn of a ‘resignation’ or a cop-out on the internet.

Senator Manchin Staff to Visit Area Counties
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.”

Glenville State College Receives Grant for Recycling Bins
Glenville State College has received a grant for one-hundred recycling bins that will be placed around campus to help encourage students, faculty, and staff to recycle plastic bottles and aluminum cans. The recycling bins are thanks to a grant made possible by Keep America Beautiful and The Coca-Cola Foundation.
“The additional recycling bins on campus will help continue to build a culture of environmental sustainability. Recycling conserves natural resources and energy and reduces the volume of waste going into landfills. I encourage all students, faculty and staff to use the bins,“ said Dr. Milan Vavrek, GSC Professor of Natural Resource Management and Department Chair. Vavrek is also the Faculty Advisor for the Glenville Environmental Organization (GEO).
GEO started the recycling effort on the GSC campus several years ago, and as awareness of the project, members needed more people involved. For the past two years, the GSC recycling group has included other organizations and individuals who are interested in promoting recycling to protect the environment.
GSC seniors Morgan Talbott, and twin brothers Jessie (left) and Johnny King collect
recyclables from Louis Bennett Hall and the Heflin Administration Building.
“Because of the increased number of people who are now taking part in our recycling project, the amount of recyclables that we are collecting has grown dramatically. The new bins we will be receiving should further increase campus awareness and allow us to recycle even more in the future,“ said GSC senior Natural Resource Management major Morgan Talbott of Buckhannon (Upshur County), West Virginia.
The new bins will arrive this summer and will be placed in residence halls, athletic venues, academic buildings, classrooms, the Morris Criminal Justice Training Center, and the Alan B. Mollohan Campus Community Center.
Glenville State College is one of 156 local government, schools, colleges and other community groups nationwide to receive a grant. Recipients were chosen by Keep America Beautiful based on a number of criteria including level of need, recycling experience and the ability of applicants to sustain their programs in the future. Keep America Beautiful and Coca-Cola partnered with the College and Recycling Coalition (CURC) to offer grants to CURC member campuses. The Bin Grant program awards recycling bins directly to recipients and leverages volume buying discounts. In its seven years of operation, the Bin Grant program has placed more than 29,000 recycling bins in more than 500 communities in 48 states and the District of Columbia. A full list of the spring 2013 Bin Grant recipients and further information about the grant program is available at bingrant.org.
“Through our support of the Bin Grant program and our long-standing partnership with Keep America Beautiful, we are helping to bring sustainability to life in local communities across the country,“ said Lori George Billingsley, Vice President, Community Relations, Coca-Cola North America Group. “By increasing access to recycling today, we build sustainable communities for the future,“ said Billingsley.
“One of the main barriers to recycling is convenience. Providing a recycling bin helps communities overcome that barrier,“ said Matthew M. McKenna, President and CEO, Keep America Beautiful. “We are truly grateful for Coca-Cola’s support and commitment to recycling and for its support and commitment of the Bin Grant Program.“
Keep America Beautiful is the nation’s leading nonprofit that brings people together to build and sustain vibrant communities. With a network of more than 1,200 affiliate and participating organizations including state recycling organizations, we work with millions of volunteers to take action in their communities. Keep America Beautiful offers solutions that create clean, beautiful public places, reduce waste and increase recycling, generate positive impact on local economies and inspire generations of environmental stewards. Through our programs and public-private partnerships, we engage individuals to take greater responsibility for improving their community’s environment.
Since its inception, the Coca-Cola Foundation has awarded more than 500 million dollars to support global sustainable community initiatives, including water stewardship, community recycling, active healthy living, and education.

GSC’s Teresa Dody Sings at Carnegie Hall
For the third time in her career, the voice of Glenville State College Assistant Professor of Music Teresa Dody has graced the world famous Carnegie Hall in New York City.
Last fall, Dody was invited by renowned British composer Jonathan Willcocks to perform in the choral premiere of his ‘A Great and Glorious Victory.‘ Dody has had the opportunity to work with Maestro Willcocks on previous occasions as well. In 2001 and again in 2008, Dody was honored to perform as a soloist at Carnegie Hall.
The performance of ‘A Great and Glorious Victory’ was held on January 20, 2013 in the Isaac Stern Auditorium of Carnegie Hall. The production included a massed choir comprised of several choirs from the United Kingdom, other singers from the United States, and orchestra and tenor soloists.
“It is always a thrill and an honor to perform in one of, if not, the most famous halls in the United States. This is the first time for me to perform in the largest hall, Isaac Stern Auditorium, and as part of an ensemble. I loved my previous opportunities as a soloist, but this was rewarding as well. Jonathan Willcock’s music is beautiful and inspiring. It is a gorgeous auditorium, and it was a joy to be part of the premiere,“ said Dody.
Dody is completing her fifth year at GSC. She teaches vocal music education, voice, and directs the GSC choirs. In 2011, Dody was selected as the GSC Curtis Elam Professor.
Professor Dody is once again looking forward to working with Willcocks but this time at Glenville State College. Maestro Willcocks has agreed to come to GSC for a week’s residency and perform a major work with students, faculty, and the community. It was hoped that Willcocks would visit GSC in October of 2013 to lead a production of ‘African Sanctus’ by British composer David Fanshawe. However, financial considerations have pushed the Willcocks’ residency to October of 2014.
“Jonathan Willcocks, a major figure in choral music, has agreed to come to Glenville State College in the fall of 2014. I was privileged to perform this work with Maestro Willcocks in July of 2011. I’ve been studying this piece with the intention of our students having the opportunity to experience it. It is an incredible work as it melds the tribal music from Africa with a setting of the Anglican mass. Mr. Fanshawe recorded the tribal music in Africa as he traveled along the Nile. At one point he was hearing the music from a Christian church alongside the Islamic call to prayer and was inspired that both societies could exist peacefully. The recordings he made are infused with the live performance of a large choir, children’s choir, soprano soloist, various percussionist, and guitar players. It is truly like something that has not been heard before and so inspiring. Maestro Willcocks is the world’s leading expert on the work as he has performed it more than twenty times world-wide. We had hoped to do it this fall but unfortunately had to postpone it for a year due to a lack of funding. I’m excited at the possibilities for bringing the world to our students here in Glenville,“ said Dody.
Willcocks’ visit to GSC is dependent on the GSC Fine Arts Department’s ability to raise approximately $7,000 needed to fund the project. Dody says that efforts are underway to secure the needed funding. Anyone wishing to contribute may contact Dody at

G-Editorial™: IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Annual Linkage meetings have been completed for all schools in the county. At those meetings Principals, LSIC members, Teachers and Students presented the state of the state of Gilmer County Schools before the Board of Education and the public.
The Students are to be congratulated. Each presenter was articulate, knowledgeable and captured the audience attention. Did you know we have aspiring artists, journalists, rocket scientists, meteorologists, broadcasters, documentary film producers, story tellers and homemakers in Gilmer County? That we do and so much more to be very proud of.
The Teachers must receive credit for encouraging those young minds and letting them know that they can dream and achieve. Both tenured and new are striving to make our schools a better place. Are we working to support them? That needs to be a question in the forefront when it comes to educating the children. Teaching professionals need to know that their hard work is appreciated. With the introduction of new curriculum known as Common Core the task ahead will not get any easier. We need and must support good Teachers.
Community attendance and interest was very evident at the Sand Fork, Troy and Normantown Elementary meetings. They were upbeat and positive as Principals spoke about their schools future goals and how fun the past year had been. Unfortunately the numbers were very low at the two Glenville school meetings. Is this indicative of a pocket of apathy or perhaps bad timing? Hope public participation improves next year.
It was disturbing that behavioral problems including high numbers of reported physical assaults were an issue reported at Glenville Elementary. The Principal emphasized a need for an elementary alternative learning center to handle problems. One expulsion was documented. There was also one reported at Troy. However the Principal at Troy said they use a room across from the office as their alternative area to separate a problem child, get them refocused and prepared for return to the group setting. That is a proactive response geared to keeping a child in trouble within a peer setting that should be applauded. Gilmer County schools are not overstaffed. It takes caring and quick thinking using the resources at hand to get it done.
Most are aware of incidents at the High School over the past year. The presentation was well done and very informative. Incidents of discipline numbers decreased from the prior year but included documentation of 3 expulsions. A local mother who will have a child entering High School next school year expressed serious concern and wanted to know what was being done about the bullying, bomb threats and drug busts. She reported that State Police said there had been an arrest. This was confirmed by the Principal who stated there were others under investigation but it was an ongoing Police matter and could not be discussed.
The Vice Principal and the State Superintendent voiced the opinion that these things happen at every school and went on to say that many times the first thing they hear of a problem is when the parent calls wanting something done about it. Administrators were in agreement that Parents not taking enough responsibility for their child’s behavior was a contributing factor to the problems here. The Mother reminded them she could not be concerned about other schools, just the one her child attended and demanded to know what was being done. Then members of the Board Of Education spoke up, saying they had no knowledge of any expulsions in Gilmer County. Expulsion indicates total removal of a child from the school system and of those brought before the board this year none had been expelled. It was asked why they were not using the alternative learning experience at the Career Center rather than expel. The senior member stated “We do not throw our children away.” Shortly thereafter the meeting was adjourned.
Since there was no administrative explanation, no denial, the question remains who approved the expulsion of Gilmer County Children? Who is in charge? By WV Code and advisement of the State BOE that is a function of the local board even under intervention.. No child is to be suspended beyond 10 days without being brought before the local board for hearing either in executive session or open public meeting as decided by their parent or legal guardian and may have an attorney present. They are entitled to due process under the law, not to be pushed around at the state’s discretion.‘’
To that end Parents must join together and stay involved guaranteeing not a single Gilmer County child will be tossed to the side. No one can do that but you. Expulsion is a very serious matter that can set the tone for the rest of life. It should be used only as a last resort. Nothing can be done to avoid it, no assistance provided when events are cloaked in secrecy. Apparently you must insist upon being informed. Information will not be offered. Attendance at all school meetings must become a priority.
State BOE, do not take arbitrary action behind closed doors. When it comes to how you treat the children here there can be no secret acts. Protect the student name if the family wishes but follow your own rules and state laws. Follow educated and well thought out procedures. Do this for the only reason you exist, Do this for the good of the children. Expulsion must not become a routine punishment. It solves no problems. It shoves students in trouble out of the door, away from possible help and into a world they are obviously not prepared for. Gilmer County doesn’t give up on its children.

WEST FORK SOIL CONSERVATION DISTRICT Has Conservation Field Day at Cedar Creek State Park
A Conservation Field Day was held on April 30, 2013 for all sixth grade students in Gilmer County. Tim Butler and Jane Collins, Soil Conservation Supervisors, organized the event. Gilmer County is the only county in the District this year that planned a Conservation Day. This is a very important day where kids learn about conservation and how important it is to take care of our earth.
The 58 students were bussed into the park about 9:00 AM that morning and Presenters were ready for them at their stations. The students were divided into seven groups and went from station to station, learning about conservation, throughout the day.
Forestry was covered by Chuck Copeland, who gave the students a short hike in the woods to identify different trees. Jared Beard discussed different types of soils. Snakes seemed to be the fascination of the day with Jim Fregonara, showing the kids live black snakes, copperheads, and rattle snakes, as well as the difference between poisonous and non-poisonous snakes. Any student who wanted to touch a black snake did and walked away with a sticker that stated “I touched a snake today.”
Bobbi Cottrill and her daughter Kristen brought a mobile bee stand full of bees, including the Queen Bee. The students were able to view inside the glass-fronted stand and observe the bees at work. Mrs. Cottrill explained pollination and the importance of bees. All of the students took home a goody bag from her station.
Bob Radabaugh, a local oil and gas businessman, discussed Environmental Stewardship and touched on the drilling of the Marcellus wells. Streams were covered by Tamara Vandivort and Kristin Haider, with a “hands on” approach that encouraged student participation. Tom Snyder gave an interesting talk about wildlife and furs. He brought a lot of different furs and animal skulls he had collected from various places with him to show the students. Many of the kids wanted to put the bear fur on their back and walk around pretending to be a black bear.
The day was exciting and packed full of interesting topics and lots of questions.
At lunch time everyone gathered in the conference room and enjoyed a brown bag lunch provided by each school. It was a great day with all of the students participating in the conservation activities. The West Fork Soil Conservation District would like to thank the presenters, students, teachers, and everyone who helped to make this day such a success!

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.
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.
