Letter to Brother Bill By Evelyne McLaughlin
Dear Brother Bill: Happy Holidays to you and yours. We have been experiencing some rather crisp days - can't actually say we are enjoying them, but it is expected this time of the year. And Christmas is a coming! Our Christmas mornings of long ago often come back to remembrance and also the special items we have received at Christmas time. One year as a very young child I recall receiving a tricycle, one year it was a scooter. The excitement of those days has mostly fallen by the wayside, but remembering is something that makes it come back. Mom and I would listen to the Christmas Carol on the radio on Christmas Eve. As you probably recall, Mom always made Christmas very special for us. One year, the night before Christmas, Gordon and Ramona Samples visited with us on Twistabout Ridge, bringing gifts for everyone. One year Myrtle Belle Arbogast came by and took me to Dalton's in Clendenin to buy gifts - she also gave me money to buy with. Then there was the year that an unexpected gift came from Korea. A very dear friend was stationed there and he sent me a beautiful portrait of Christ, painted on velvet. This picture has held a special place in my house ever since. When we lived at Horner's Fork a nice lot of gifts was found on our front porch swing - no names, but I say thank you to Gerald and Sis Samples for those. So many good memories and so many wonderful friends. This year I am enjoying pecans that Margie Smith Thomas sent me from Arkansas. Our mail carrier, Lonnie Samples, has been bringing me several cards from friends afar. He is a very good mail carrier.
Last week I visited the Nutrition Center at Two Run for their Christmas Dinner. Lots of folks attended, the music was great and the food wonderful. Perhaps when you come to visit we can go there and have a meal. It is a good place to go. Saturday evening the Blue Knob Church group met at Nancy's Restaurant for a Christmas "get-together" and meal. We all had a fun evening there and plenty of good food - again.
So sorry to hear of the deaths of Clyde Pierson, Charles Gray and Oleta Dawson. Please remember these families in your prayers. I miss Aunt Maycle Samples this year. I would usually visit her around Christmastime and I can't see her this year. Rheeneta Bennett, of Valley View, was operated on this past week. She returned home Sunday evening. Get well wishes and prayers for you Rheeneta. Ella Davis hasn't been feeling well. We hope both of these friends are all well real soon.
I still need phone numbers or addresses of our former classmates. Nell Jean, Walter Pierson, Jane Lou Rogers Sizemore, Dolly Morton Elliott, Rozella Morris and Frankie Holcomb and others I have not been able to reach. Please get in touch with me.
Now some old news: Ruth Loughhead Harold's parents owned the property at the top of the hill - on Twistabout Ridge. Ruth had had a beautiful home built on the property and she often rented this property when she was away teaching. From Mom's letter "Harlie and Dimple lived in Ruth's house. They had little Freddie. We loved Freddie dearly. One night he got the same type of croup I had and he choked to death the same night. We hated it so bad. Some men carried his little casket passed our house out to the Love Cemetery (on Blue Knob). We followed along behind. It was a real cold day. 1927, Susie Goff was our teacher. Hallie got married and moved to Nallen. I missed her a lot. She was special to me. Ted and Hallie (Burdette) moved back home and I surely was glad to have her home. Later, they moved to Ma Drake's, Ted's mom. Laura was born there. 1928, Pa got married that May to Jane Hannah Ratliff Ellison. That was the best summer I had ever had. Jane made me pretty dresses and for the first time I had clothes that looked like a woman’. She was from Pound, Virginia. That summer she went back on a visit and her daughter and son-in-law and her two sons came back with her.
Hubert was her son and he liked me a bundle. He was the first boy that ever told me that he loved me. He was a nice clean boy and we really had a good time. Ruby had gone to live with Grover the fall Ma died. Verba stayed away and Delphia was staying with Enos. So that left Gene and I, Hubert, Dad and Jane. We picked berries, swam, took the horse and sled and hauled apples. Hubert was pretty good with a horse. He tagged after me and played the part of a love sick kid. Earl McCune was the teacher that year. I was going to school just mainly to get off of Big Laurel. I got several boy friends after Jane dressed me up. One of the boys gave me a lovely compact (a Dobbins boy). A boy named Chet was another who was on my list. I remember the Christmas Program. I had my hair all curled back by hot curlers, of course it was pretty well singed on the ends. We had a lovely program. Earl had expelled Hubert from school for making fun of the writing he did. Hubert was sad, jealous and angry. Coming home from the program Chet walked me home. Carl Keller was escorting Delphia. It was a cold moon lit night. A big snow that had a crunch frozen on top of it, the moon shone on the snow and it looked like thousands of small diamonds sparkling. We were crunching along, Gene and Hubert had some fire crackers and one was tossed at my feet. Brave Chet kicked it out of the road - that made him a hero in my eyes. Jane's son Alphus was a real handsome guy and Curt was the youngest. They had come up for Christmas. Oh! we had such a nice time. Carl and Chet came in and sat in the back room. We had a nice log fire in the chimney. Most everyone mentioned in Mon's notes have already passed on. I have tried to type the letter just as she had it written. Of the eleven children born to Abner Jehu and Laura Alice Dodd Samples, only Aunt Delphia O'Dell remains. Her children honored her last Saturday with a birthday party (her 90th) at the Nutrition Center at Two Run. Many children, grandchildren, great-grans, friends and neighbors attended this party. The food was delicious and as usual, Auntie was adorable.
He was born in an obscure village. He worked in a carpenter shop until he was thirty. He then became an itinerant preacher. He never held an office. He never had a family or owned a house. He didn't go to college. He had no credentials but himself. All the armies that ever marched, all the navies that ever sailed, all the parliaments that ever sat, and all the kings that ever reigned have not affected the life of man on earth as much as He. Nineteen centuries have come and gone, and today he is the central figure of the human race.....Jesus Christ (copied). Is this season really the correct birth date for Jesus? If we go back to Leviticus 23:27 and go by the Jewish calendar, the tenth day of the seventh month was the day of atonement and this comes out to October l0. Thank you Bro. Bob Walker. Someone asked me the other day what the Christmas tree had to do with Christmas. Go to the 10th chapter of Jeremiah and you can read about the tree; it was brought into the house and decorated - many years prior to the birth of Jesus - by heatherns.
Now a few words from the wise old bird: The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but oftentimes we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us. May each of you have a very Happy Holiday Season and a Blessed New Year. Until then, Help us all to be brave. Love, Sis
BOB CLARKE Curmudgeon’ Corner
In an administration which can be charged with, either an appalling ignorance of history, or an arrogant dismissal of its lessons, the much-quoted observation of George Santayana, [1863-1952] philosopher, poet and novelist, in The Life of Reason may toll dramatically: Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. We seem to have learned nothing from the French debacle in Indo China [see Vietnam] or from the bloody quagmire in the former Mesopotamia as a result of the British invasion/occupation in the 1920s. The British, of course, at least did not bother with the hypocritical litany of converting the locals to democracy: they wanted to control the oil and expand the empire. Such shoddy motives cannot be laid at the idealistic Americans. We are told daily that our primary concerns are the hearts and minds of the benighted Iraqis.
Into this mix came earlier a man who modestly assessed his effect on the cosmic scene as one who “rote my will across the sky in stars.” No shrinking violet, this was a man whose ego rivals that of Donald Rumsfeld. However, unlike our feckless Secretary of Defense, the former was one who knew and understood the Middle East and its peoples. His observation on the unhappy British tenure in the area contains eerie echoes of our present situation.
…The people of England have been led in Mesopotamia into a trap from which it will be hard to escape with dignity and honor.
Things have been far worse than we have been told… We are today not far from a disaster.
These are the words of Thomas Edward Lawrence [1888-1935] who had been a member of the British archaeological team on the Euphrates River. Later, he became a colonel in the British army who led the Arab revolt against the Turks. His inability to achieve all he had hoped for the Arab cause led him to withdraw from what he termed “he shallow grave of public duty.” It is perhaps fitting for his heroic image that he met his death in a motorcycle accident. We know him as “awrence of Arabia.” History will not bestow such grandiosity on the chickenhawks now holding sway among our power elite.
The favorite and constantly-repeated mantra of the modern Republican party is “mall government.” This seems to be a conviction more honored in the breach than in the observance. The fact that the Clinton presidency eliminated more government positions than any administration in the previous century seems to have escaped notice. Something else that has been forgotten is that George W. fought the proposal for a Department of Homeland Security. Now, 210 thousand strong, it is touted as a Bush achievement. No red blooded patriot could oppose something with such a ringing title. Such boorish behavior would be tantamount to bad-mouthing Mother, flag or apple pie. Ridge has now left his cabinet post, claiming that he can’ make ends meet on a poverty-level salary of $175,000. The bright side is that Ridge’ exit may spell the end of that idiotic color code. Whatever accomplishments may be credited to the department, now and future, it seems curious that no one has suggested that security has always been the province of the Coast Guard, the FBI, the police and, before Iraq, the national and state guards.
It is said that, if one throws a stone in a pond, the ripples go out to the opposite edge, rebound, and continue this process into virtual infinity. This theory in the physical world might apply to the invasion and troubled occupation of Iraq. The repeated predictions by Middle Eastern officials that invasion would create a hornet’ nest have come to pass. Politicians have always been adept at playing word games, never more so than now. Early on the people attacking our troops were called “uerrillas,”then “nsurgents,”and throughout the all-purpose term, “errorists.” Rumsfeld, invincible in his certainty, dismissed the guerrilla term and suggested they were a small bunch of “eadenders.” Presumably, it would be bad form to call them what they really are – “ationalists.” The dark view is that the ripple effect may be the proper term as we seem to be enmeshed in what writer Gore Vidal calls “erpetual war for perpetual peace.”
One of the currently hot topics is the search for bin Laden. Many skeptics believe that he will never be caught, or that he is already dead. Another abiding irony is that it doesn’ really matter: from his point-of-view, he is more accurate in proclaiming “ission accomplished”than Bush’ premature declaration on the aircraft carrier. In the unlikely event that he is captured or killed, bin Laden would be a priceless boon to the administration propaganda machine, but only temporarily, if we remember how short-lived the rejoicing over Saddam Hussein’ capture was. What is mysterious about bin Laden is that he does not seem to want to go down fighting. As a dead martyr he would be much more valuable to his movement than a live refugee. Only heroic sacrifice for a cause is the stuff of legend.

CLAY COUNTY PSD To save the Lizemores/Tuckers Bottom water line extension project from the scrap heap, guided by Chapman Technical engineer Greg Belcher, the Board decided to cut out a million dollars worth of expense by cutting off from the project 25 new customers.
During their December 14th monthly board meeting, Chair Keith King was asked: Which 25 new customers? King responded: “I don’ really know… Just some of the little branch offs… here and there.”
Even by cutting 25 customers, the project needs another $1million in funding before the construction phase can begin.
Clay County PSD ended November with a $652.42 balance.

BOVFD Big Otter Volunteer Fire Department hit the jackpot to the tune of $87,300 with the award of a U.S. Homeland Security grant Nov. 19th. The freebee dollars will be used for equipment and personal protection gear. No other Clay County FD received grant money.

MOVING During the last town meeting, Councilperson Sally Legg and Mayor Jarrett got into it over whether Legg was going to resign from office after moving out of the municipality. Ms Legg said Jarrett would be the first to know if she resigned. Late last week pickup loads of furnishings left the home/hair salon of Sally Legg.
SERVICE FEES at CCC
Prosecutor Gets “Home”Help
Someone must of thought this was going to be a dandy County Commission meeting December 13th. Around 25 were in attendance. That number did not include Commissioner Matthew “HAC” Bragg. After prayer and the pledge, just the highlights.
Clay PSD asked the CCC to be the “ass through”agency for a $1 million request to fund the Lizemores/ Tuckers Bottom water line extension project. King got the thumbs up on his request. In attendance, Sheriff Elect Randy Holcomb spoke up on the PSD’ water storage tank setting on his land with the PSD having no right of way or deed to the land under the tank. He asked that the PSD do things right this time around.
About 20 minutes into the meeting during a slow time, one time County Surveyor Jesse Sizemore walked up front, handed Commissioner Sams an envelope and asked him to read it into the official minutes. Sams didn’. That letter, in its entirety can be found in this edition of the Communicator.
Last Spring, Marlyn Starcher from the Big Otter VFD asked the CCC to allow fire departments to charge for emergency services. Back then the Commission was ok with the idea. Within weeks, Starcher as well as Greg Fitzwater, Clay VFD, and Bob Mullins from Lizemores VFD requested the previous Commission order be rescinded. The CCC complied.
Now back to this meeting. Mr. Starcher was back with the same request. According to Starcher, state code requires the local commission to approve charging of fees; since the Emergency Service Levy failed, they needed to raise more money; and, if passed, BOVFD would charge for wrecks along the interstate and NOT home owners for fire protection. In attendance Clay VFD rep Greg Fitzwater said his group wanted no part of charging for service.
Up front the two sitting Commissioners waded in. Triplett said the ambulance service people didn’ want the ordinance put back on the books because Clay Ambulance planned to try another levy. Sams, “hat is the reason not to charge? You use fuel, equipment…..”Fitzwater, “ecause those that wrecked didn’ call you.”Randy Holcomb feared that charging for a service would raise the standards for expected service.
Commissioner Elect Fran King spoke out as well. Her comments included: the state road folks charge for traffic control, NOT the fire departments; currently her wrecker company bills for the Big Otter Fire Dept; some people will request Clay FD to respond since they don’ charge for service; and there’ a real difference between volunteer groups responding and professional fire departments.
Both Holcomb and King hit on the area of law known as good Samaritan deeds without saying as much. Soon to be prosecutor Jim Samples asked why the Commission’ legal advisor Daniel Grindo wasn’ present. Chuckles were heard around the room. Samples went ahead to advise the fire departments to have a fee schedule set up and charge EVERYONE equally.
Clay County Commission gave the green light to the Starcher request. Note: Before the fire departments can charge for services, the CCC has to agree on fees to be charged.
With Jim Samples standing in the back of the room, the request came for an assistant prosecutor and a second secretary. OK given to add $10,000 to the Prosecutor’ budget for an assistant, but NO secretary. Samples pressed harder for the office help with no luck.
County Commission will conduct a CAEZ census tract representative election January 3 at the Big Otter Fire Dept. building. No exact time was given.
After the meeting ended, Sams gave a quick read of the Sizemore letter before passing it to Commissioner Triplett. Shortly thereafter, the reporter from that little paper over in Clay read over the document. Sams and the reporter grinned and smirked. Just another day in the Great Nation of Clay! AW
NO RATE HIKE COMIN’
Financially Challenged Clay Roane Meets
Trying to keep track of the Clay Roane PSD can be a challenge. One meeting the office manager and Chair say they need a rate increase and at the next meeting, nope, it’ off the table.
Under the guiding hand of Chair Melissa Postelwait and members Gary Whaling, Dave Saulsgiver, Glen Sutton, and Susan Beard, Clay Roane met in regular session December 9th at the CDC building on Main Street. For this PSD, regular session means two hours and at least 30 minutes behind closed doors.
Before the meeting opened, in hushed tones, Postelwait apologized to fellow Boardsters over remarks made at an earlier meeting. A couple meetings back, after an extended secret session, the Board voted NOT to pay an employee (Bobby Burdette) travel time and wages after they found out he didn’ attend all the scheduled classes during a Canaan Valley get-away conference. The apologies came after Postelwait found out you can’ take back wages already paid.
During most public meetings, meeting minutes are looked over and quickly passed. Not so this time. As the group read over the minutes from the Nov. 2 PSD meeting, the Chair asked that the minutes be changed to reflect a more subdued tone of voice. The minutes included this passage: Melissa states that she is leaving with or without an adjournment. Susan states that the meeting is still open and she [Melissa] is the Chairperson and cannot leave according to Robert’ Rules of Order. Melissa states, P*** on Roberts Rules, I am leaving. Melissa exits the meeting. The minutes were passed without amendment.
Want your money back for a tap fee already paid? Ain’ going to happen anytime soon. Requests are coming in from potential customers no longer interested in water service from Clay Roane PSD. Board motioned not to vote on the tap fee issue until the end of the Amma Left Hand construction project. See what they’e sayin? If the number of customers drop, then funding for the projects could be in jeopardy. Here’ what they are not saying: once the tap fees are returned and if there are fewer customers, then rates will have to go up.
Amma Left Hand project engineer Jim Hildruth gave the Board a progress report which included: enough work has been completed for FAMCO Construction to be paid $380,000. Heater Construction will be paid $237,000. Hildruth pocketed another $5000. Change orders were also approved.
The Board voted to change the personnel policy so wayward from conference employees would no longer be paid for attending the party sessions. The “o pay”rule does not affect wayward Boardsters attending conferences.
During the hiring of a new CPA firm (the folks working on a rate increase request), no one knew how much the firm would charge the PSD for the service. Susan Beard questioned whether the PSD could afford to pay for the service. Beard was adamant, how can you vote to hire a company if you don’ know what they will charge for the service? With Beard voting against the motion to hire, motion passed.
Even with the Board saying they won’ agree to a rate increase, the motion passed to OK a rate increase “f needed.”On this vote, Dave Saulsgiver and Beard voted “Nay.”
Here’ an interesting note, readers. Both the vote for a rate increase and the one to hire the new CPA firm was previously done during an away from the public special meeting held in an upstairs, backroom of the courthouse. After it was called to their attention that neither item was listed on that meeting’ agenda, they decided to revote the items in a more public setting.
With the PSD unable to pay monthly bills, the discussion turned to buying a backhoe. Showing some common sense, the idea was tabled.
And then what makes Clayberry so special.
Holding up a stack of job applications and resumes for the vacant full time maintenance man position, without looking at any of the applications, the Chair asked the Board to hire in attendance, Davy Deems. Not pointing any fingers at Deems BUT …..no mention made of doing any background checks like driver license and worker’ comp claims prior to the hire. After discussion, Davy Deems was hired as a temp worker until formal interviews could be held. During that vote, once again, Saulsgiver and Beard voted “Nay.”
What time is it, readers? It’ secret time! This one lasted nearly 45 minutes. With the meeting back open to the public, Glen Sutton made a motion to advertise for a Class II water operator. Motion passed. Hire an operator? Who’ getting fired? No one elaborated even when the office manager asking for details. The position pays $12 per hour plus benefits.
One little short fat guy asked about the “ule 42”rate increase. Note: Rule 42 is the code word for: we’e going after a rate increase without saying so. During the discussions, Glen Sutton got up and prepared to leave. Chair Postelwait over and over repeated herself: THIS IS NOT A RATE INCREASE REQUEST! She did go out on one limb and say that IF a rate increase was needed to fund the Punkin Ridge project, she would not vote to raise an entire system’ rates to serve the 35 Punkineers.
That same round guy asked: Why does the Board do the hiring instead of the chief water operator and the office manager? Answer: They like it that way. They also get paid each time they meet! Two and one half hours after opening for business, the meeting closed down. One last note: During yet another special meeting of the PSD, Dec 16th, Davy Deems was hired full time with benefits as maintenance man replacing Thomas Coon. AW AW
