WASHINGTON, D.C. – In aneffort to bring more Americanstogether around commonsensesolutions, U.S. Senator JoeManchin (D-W.Va.) has agreed tolead No Labels, a national citi-zen-led effort to change Wash-ington attitudes and makeCongress work.Senator Manchin and former

Governor Jon Huntsman, a UtahRepublican, are serving as hon-orary co-chairs of the organiza-tion.“We need to fix our politics

from the inside, but we needhelp from the outside,” Senator

Manchin said. “No Labels is theonly organization out there thatcan bring people together to de-mand that both parties put thecountry’s needs ahead of politics.No Labels can set a whole newstandard of what’s expected fromour national leaders. But weneed Americans to help us – anddemand better than what we’regetting now.”Senator Manchin and Gover-

nor Huntsman will make theirfirst public appearance as thenational leaders of No Labels onMonday, Jan. 14 at a grassrootsleadership event in NewYork.

Manchin and Huntsman willhost more than 1,300 No Labelsmembers, including private citi-zens and elected officials, at the“Meeting to Make AmericaWork.”The gatheringwill featuredozens of House and Senatemembers from all across thecountry who not only are willingto reach across the political di-vide to address the major issuesbut are also committed to meet-ing regularly as “problemsolvers.”On Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 10:30

a.m., SenatorManchin and Gov-ernor Huntsmanwill host a con-

ference call withWestVirginia re-porters to outline their agenda.“This is a great honor to be

asked to work with Jon Hunts-man to help No Labels become acatalyst for the big changes weneed in Washington,” SenatorManchin said. “Jon and I comefrom different parties, but wecome from the same backgroundas governors, where you don’tworry about politics – you worryabout your state and its people.”“As governors, both JonHunts-

man and JoeManchin developedwell-earned reputations as prob-lem solvers,” said No Labels Co-

Founder Mark McKinnon.“That’s precisely the attitude weneedmore of inWashington andthese two leaders will be greatadvocates and spokesmen forour movement.”“At thismoment in our history,

working to bridge the partisandivide is both the principled andpatriotic thing to do,” saidNo La-bels Co-Founder Bill Galston.“Governor Huntsman and Sena-tor Manchin can play a criticalrole in building support acrossthe country for our parties com-ing together.”

In Praise ofWords

Poetic affairs begin in schoolwhere well-meaning teachers

assignpoems to bememorized. Years

later we’ll say“I’ve loved that poem since 5th

grade.”Then we learn to admire how

poetrysays more and tells less. Then

we blesswords that put our senses to

workas prose cannot. Now we ob-

servehow stanzas mark divisions of

thought.

Robert Frost achieved tran-quility

watching woods fill up withsnow.

Students achieve pride recitinghis four verses of Stopping By

Woods.

To JohnMcCrae all I can say,“I weep reading Flanders

Fields.”

Eugene Field’s gingham andcalico adversaries

devoured each other, leavingno clue

and you can bet one purplecow

Burgess never saw has nevermooed.

Amighty batter has struck out,witnessed

by thousands of eyes. ErnestThayer

allowed Casey’s shame to beuniversally known.

Kilmer’s tree was faultless,body and soul.

It even lifted leafy arms to pray.

Wordsmith immortalized askylark, named

It ‘Pilgrim of the sky.’ Longfel-low brought to life

The Children’s Hour and a his-torical ride.

Ed Lear told of a journey too –the honeymoon

voyage of a cat and an owl. If Iever meet Ed

in that vast poet’s corner I shallask,

What is a runcible spoon?The Belle of Amherst

quoted:“When I feel as if the top

of my headwere taken off, I know

that is poetry.Words are my life.”

old trailer literally began to fallapart.

One Saturday in November,everything changed.

A group of volunteers from thenon-profit group Livingstone ar-rived at Gould’s home with drills,hammers and power saws.

At last, help had come.“It was so bad, and I’m on So-

cial Security, so it was hard to paybills,” said Gould. “I don’t knowwhat I would’ve done withoutthem.”

Livingstone started in 2002when Presbyterian Church of theCovenant Pastor Rob Laukoterand others put their faith to ac-tion to begin aministry, aimed atrestoring houses and joy for localhomeowners.

The group grew into an organ-ization that has helped morethan 100 families in the past 10years.

“The scriptures remind us thatwe are to look out for those whohave less,” said Laukoter. “Thisputs themeat to ‘love your neigh-bor’”

The local preacher shared theBible verse in which Livingstoneis based: “You also, as living

stones, are being built up a spiri-tual house, a holy priesthood, tooffer up spiritual sacrifices ac-ceptable to God through JesusChrist,” states 2 Peter 2:5.

Laukoter saidWestVirginia hasa high percentage of homeown-ership, but many houses needwork.The high povertymakes ac-complishing this tough on resi-dents, he said.

“Thisministry fits well forWestVirginia, and it meets a greatneed, here,” said Laukoter.“When you come to a home andrealizemajor problems like floorsfalling in or cold air coming in,and then I go home tomy house;it’s humbling.”

The best part of restoring thesehomes happenswhen volunteerssee the depressed and worriedhomeowners experience theirnew and repaired homes.

“It was great to hear aboutMrs.Gould’s experience in her kitchenwhen she felt solid floor underher feet for the first time,” saidLaukoter.

Volunteer Karen Balsimoagreed.

“That day was a miracle forher,” said Balsimo. “The best part

of this work is people: they are soappreciative.”

When Livingstone arrived torepair Gould’s kitchen, workersnoticed a leaking hot water tank.The flooring around it saggedand rotted from the water.

Since November, volunteershave replaced subflooringthroughout the home. Now, thereare no more sagging or weakspots in rooms. Workers alsofixed various plumbing issues,and have replaced old flooringwith new laminate and tiles.

The kitchen used to be an areaGould avoided. Now, she practi-cally lives there.

“This all feels wonderful, andthat was a Christmas presentright there,” she said. “I appreci-ate all they’ve done to help.”

Laukoter and others hopemore volunteers will help changelives across the county.

“Our heart’s desire is to see thiseffort multiplied,” he said. “Thishappens when others decide tohelp make a significant differ-ence in someone’s life.”

To make a difference, callKaren Balsimo at (304) 541-1151.

Priming the PumpThis morning I went out to feed the crow some bread and as I

walked out into the snow and frost I was reminded of my GrandmaCarpenter who lived on Buzzard Creek. (I have written about her be-fore).

But mymemories of childhood always go back there.I feed the crows because they can pick up big chunks of bread and

carry them off. I think they like me – but, it could be the food I givethem.

I have readwhere crow are watching all the time and can recognizepeople. I hope they rescueme - if the bear I hear is around here some-where - comes near.

Hopefully, the DNRwill catch the bear and release it to a nice place- hopefully far, far away.

As I waswalking outside tomy crow rock, that is what I call the rockthat I put the bread for the crow on, I thought about how GrandmaCarpenter always put on a headscarf and coat to go to the well whichwas outside the back door from her house to fetch a bucket of water.The well had a top on it with a pump. I have drawn water from anopenwell and there is a trick to flipping the bucket.MyGrandma hada pump which made it easier but in the wintertime the pump mayhave to be primed.

Priming the pump means you must put a small amount of waterdown the pump before more water would start to flow out of thepumps. You pushed up and down on the handle. After pumping for alittle bit, the bucket was full of good country water. My Grandmanever went outside in the winter without her head covered and hercoat on. She said youmust keep your headwarm in the winter or youwill catch cold.

Some people say this is not true, but I usually keep something onmy head in the wintertime. She also had a pair of rubber boots whichshe slipped on over her shoes. I don’t think women wear them any-more except on a farm, but they did the trick.

We have a lot to be thankful for these days; running water is one ofthem.MyGrandmamoved fromBuzzard Creek years later and I knowshe missed Buzzard Creek, but she made it. She worked hard on thefarm and she did things the old fashioned way which sometimes isthe most common sense way of doing things.

I have found that the old ways are usually the best way.Country people can survive.

“WINTER SOLSTICE”Thought for the week: And God said, let there be lights in the fir-

mament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let thembe for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years. Genesis 1:14(KJV)

The short days, and long dark nights of winter, appear to make themonth of January longer than other months -the quiet stillness, thatall the animals seem to recognize also, only the birds flock at the feed-ers, and gather like old men at the coffee houses, each morning theyeat and flap and talk to each other, then fly away till evening time.

God intended for us to rest and planwith thewinter season, you re-ceive your garden catalogs in the mail to ponder on, a time to reflectand vow to have a better garden than last year. A time to plan vaca-tions, time tomake promises to yourself that you usually do not keeplike exercise and dieting…

The solstice is either of two times a year, when the sun is at its great-est distance from the celestial equator, winter solstice usually occursin late December and summer solstice in later part of June.While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and

heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.Genesis 8:22.

This is Gods covenant with creation.Winter time we seem to remember and dwell on past thoughts,

maybe it’s because of the beginning new year, especially if we lost aloved one this past year, maybe we live with an illness or know some-one who does, we have concerns and grief – it’s hard to be happy atthese times, when days are cold, dismal and dreary. But - Happy isthat people, that is in such a case, yea happy is that people, whoseGod is the Lord. Psalm; 144:15

SomehowGod guides us thru the rough patches in life, wemay notknow it at the time, but we look back and see that He is with us, at alltimes good and bad.

We will bear with the winter weather, and long dark nights, just aswe bear our own winter storms of life.Hope is the springtime season, when all becomes green with skies

of blue, the feel of warm sunshine on our shoulders once again, andour hearts will embrace with laughter.

…Time does not heal all things, but time has a way of making dayschange for better.Trust in the Lordwith all thane heart; and leannot unto thane own

understanding.In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3; 5 -6.Prayer: Life is precious Father, let us enjoy and use our years wise,

as you wish.Amen.

ToThe Editor:The American Lung Associa-

tion of the Mid-Atlantic wisheseveryone a Happy New Year. Aswe ring in 2013, many of us willmake New Year’s resolutions toimprove our health and well-being. People who resolve to quitsmoking this New Year have thechance to increase the length andquality of their lives.

Quitting works its magic theminute an individual makes thechoice. In just 12 hours after anindividual quits, the carbon

monoxide level in their blooddrops to normal. Fast forward to ayear after quitting, and the risk ofcoronary heart disease is half thatof a smoker’s.

Today, smoking has become in-creasingly expensive, with ciga-rette packs costing up to $10 insome areas. A $5 pack per dayadds up to $1,825 per year. Quit-ters save their lives and can savemoney for the future.

Quitting not only helps you, butalso the loved ones and friendsaround you. Secondhand smoke

affects everyone, and is especiallydangerous to young children.

If your New Year’s resolutionsinclude quitting smoking, visit theHow toQuit resource on ourweb-site. For facts on smoking andmoreways to stop it, visit the StopSmoking page.Sincerely,Deb BrownPresident and CEO, American

Dear Christin,Have you ever had a friend

that turned out to be yourenemy? My best friend, or ex-bestfriend I should say, recentlyturned on me without warning.Oneminute wewere doing every-thing together and the nextminute she started seeing my ex-boyfriend, and now she won’teven talk to me and she has beenspreading rumors about me! Idon’t even care about the guy, shecan see him if she wants, but Ijust really miss my friend. Howcan someone that you thoughtyou could trust turn their back onyou so suddenly?Sincerely,Bad BestieDear BB,I’m sorry that this happened

to you. And, yes, it has happenedto me too. The person you aredescribing - I like to refer to as a“frenemy”. Half friend, halfenemy. And not only are they themost dangerous people you willever encounter, but they alsotend to run rampant throughoutthe female community.

My sister once told me after arun-in with a frenemy, “That’sthe bad thing about havingfriends. You let them get tooclose, and they will know exactly

where to hit you where it hurtsthe most.” While this statementmay be sad, it is very much thetruth.

In a situation such as this, it isprobably best to turn your backon this person that you consid-ered to be your friend. It can be adifficult decision to make, but itis nothing compared to theheartache youwill surely endureif you continue in this unhealthyrelationship. Your friend hasdone something completely un-forgivable, but you find it in yourheart to forgive them anyway be-cause, after all, that is the truemeaning of friendship, right? Ac-cepting someone, with all theirfaults, and loving them anyway?Letme explain a little somethingthat I have learned: Uncondi-tional love is intended for yourfamily and your children. If youallow someone to treat you badlyonce, that simply opens up thedoor for them to do it again, andbelieve me when I say; the worstis yet to come.

As forme, when discussing thetopic of frenemies, I have onethat particularly comes to mind.For ten years our relationshipwent on until…one day.Within ayear, my best friend, the personthat I held closest to my heart,

the person that knew everythingthere was to know aboutme, be-came my nemesis. To makethings even worse, there was nobig disagreement, no fight, noteven an argument. The actionsthat she took in order to revealher true colors came out ofnowhere. The first opportunityshe got to undermine my trust,betray me to the fullest extent,and throwme under the bus, shedid. One of the worst feelings offailure, for me, was reflecting onthis situation and thinking tomyself, “How did I not see thatcoming?” Looking back on therelationship, there were a fewwarning signs, however, theywere very subtle. I honestly ig-noredmost of thembecause I al-ways just assumed that thosewere some of her imperfections.Everyone has imperfections. Lit-tle did I know that she was justwaiting for the right opportunityto turn on me.

Do yourself a favor BB – don’tblame yourself. This happens tous all. I miss my friend some-times too, but I know deep downthat I am better off withoutfriends like that.

“False friends are worse thanopen enemies.”― Proverb

I'm constantly amazed andimpressed by the dedication ofconservation officers. There are

many counties in West Virginiawhere there's only one officer tocover the entire county. They'reon constant call and duty.They're required to have listedphone numbers, so you can al-ways just look him up and callhim if some game-law-relatedissue arises.

If you've ever done anythingthat, well, wasn't strictly legaland a conservation officer saw it,you might have a different opin-ion. For example, one of themticketed Justin Kimble, TheWVUMountaineer, for not wearingblaze orange while bear huntingin a video that was posted on theInternet. As I understand it, youdon't have to wear blaze orangewhile bear hunting, but you do ifdeer hunting is going on at thetime (which it was). I know ofmore than one officer who has

ticketed several members of hisown family.

They're strict, but at leastthey're fair and it's not just theWest Virginia officers who arelike that. Regardless of how youfeel about them personally, I'msure everyone could have at leastsome respect for that level ofdedication to the oath they sworeto uphold the law and Constitu-tion.

On Jan. 7, Louisiana conserva-tion officers charged and/or ar-rested some on-duty policeofficers for game violations.

Louisiana Department ofWildlife and Fisheries Enforce-ment Division agents – which iswhat they call their conservationofficers down there - arrested aWinnsboro, La. police officer andcited another Winnsboro officerand cited a Franklin Parish De-

tention Center Corrections Offi-cer for their alleged roles in theillegal harvesting of a deer.

They learned of the policepoaching the same way theycatch on to most things, by forg-ing connections in the commu-nity. In other words, somebodysquealed.

Winnsboro officer ChesterColeman, 34, was cited with deerduring illegal hours using artifi-cial light, hunting from amovingvehicle, failing to comply withdeer tagging requirements, andhunting without basic and biggame licenses. They also cited acouple of other officers with sim-ilar charges. Coleman, however,was arrested because he was onduty at the time of the allegedpoaching.

The officers say Coleman wason duty at the time of the illegal

hunting activity and he shot thedeer from his patrol vehicle withone of the other officer's .308rifle. The three men then put thedeer into the trunk of the patrolvehicle for later cleaning, thecharges allege.

In Louisiana, malfeasance inoffice is a felony and brings up tofive years in jail and $5,000 infines. Taking deer during illegalhours brings a $900 to $950 fineand up to 120 days in jail. Hunt-ing from amoving vehicle bringsa $250 to $500 and up to 90 daysin jail.

This all brings up a very inter-esting situation. I never imag-ined there could be a scenariowhere poaching a deer could bea felony.

winter/hunting hat

Most people on earth have atleast some familiarity with Gas-ton Glock and his famous auto-matic pistol. Not so well known –at least in America – is the otherGaston Glock, the son of the Aus-trian pistol company founder,Gaston J. Glock.

I do like to pass along coolproducts I see occasionally and Ihave come across a great new hatGlock the Younger is offering,called the Tyrolean Loden Hunt-ing Cap. The hat is made in Ger-many of Tyrolean Loden woolfrom Austria. The wool is natu-rally breathable and like anywool, keeps you warm when it'swet, but this stuff is really, reallygood wool. It has a fold-downblaze orange stripe, which Ithought was a really cool con-cept.

When I was in college, I spent asemester in Austria and bought ajacket made from this material. Iwore it practically every day fromOctober to March. I bought in it1997. I'm still wearing it.

WINFIELD -- The wave poolsplashed into discussions dur-ing the Jan. 8 Putnam CountyCommission meeting.Four engines pushed water

and waves for 30 summers atthe Valley Park Wave Pool untillast season when the motors fi-nally died. Long days of rip-ping engines apart andreplacing gears, electrical andinternal parts plagued workersat the park. The summer'smain economic driver for thearea was in jeopardy."We all know how we limped

along with the wave pool lastyear," said Commissioner JoeHaynes. "The motors reallyneed replaced, and that's a lotof work."Putnam Park and Recreation

Director Scott Williamson willnever forget last summer. Dayswere long."We had a time last year: we

tore apart one motor to rebuildanother every day,"Williamsonsaid. "The motors had given all

they could give."Good news is coming.Commissioners are working

with Williamson to resurrectthe Wave Pool. The PutnamParks and Recreation depart-

ment is seeking a $170,000 loanto replace the four dead en-gines with two internal, clutch-

driven motors.Williamson believes these

new power plants will consumeless energy than the old ones."They'll run consistently and

only have a one-time draw-down, which will save energyand be easier on the budget,"he said.Williamson is calling this a

"complete refit for the wavepool powerhouse."The parts for this revamp are

in production, and should beready for installation and test-ing in 14 weeks, he said.Until then, crews at the wave

pool will gut out the old electri-cal and internal elements of theworn powerhouse.Williamson is determined to

get it all done by Memorial Day.He knows how important thisattraction is to Putnam County."The wave pool is a major

economic driver for thecounty," said Williamson."People come from all aroundto experience it; they drive bylocal businesses, and whenthey stay here, it brings a lot ofoutside money into PutnamCounty."
