Annamoriah resident Denver Garretson, age 91, passed away after a long illness. A veteran of World War II he was a farmer and former barber at the Spencer State Hospital.
Local residents have been observing some fine trophy bucks & folks have been coming in from elsewhere to harvest tasty deer meat.
Don Rhodes was attending to business in Elizabeth.
A number of area residents attended the W. Va. Farm Bureau annual meeting at Flatwoods.
It has been learned that the Big Eared One has now given out over 100 variances from having to comply with Obamacare as everyone now understands that the vaunted socialized medicine bill is a job killer. Unions have been in the forefront of getting the waivers so that they won't have to comply.
Some W. Va. RINOS (they know who they are) made it clear that they wanted the Big Boss to go off to the swamps down near the Mouth of the Potomac so he could be the Big Eared One's rubber stamp. Obviously there will have to be more housecleaning come 2012. The time for having politicians who are in it for personal gain is long past.
One of the DNR's finest had an altercation with Carl Ferrell's chariot causing the automobile to lose a fender. Under new guidelines (from the federales, perhaps), all vehicles that are more than 10 years old must be totaled so that they can be taken off the road.
Folks have been talking about all the things that the new congress can do. Someone suggested that the environmentalist whacko light bulb ban should be repealed. Perhaps then light bulbs can again be made in West Virginia rather than having to be imported from communist China.
The Consolidation Coal Company announced that they have been testing the Utica shale for natural gas production. The Utica is situate just above the Trenton formation and thus is a deep horizon. Presently the Utica is produced in Canada and northern states.
