BARBOURSVILLE - Through the cold, wintery air, along the wealthy avenues of this thriving village, a man stands alone. Behind businesses, through alleyways and on street corners, this meager man roams. The sidewalks of U.S. Route 60 are his home. Drivers pass by a scraggly bearded man, pushing an over- worked bicycle and a rickety buggy full of clothes, food and basic necessities. A tired hat with an American Flag on it covers the man’s grey hair. More than 20 tattered Kroger bags, full of collected items, hang onto the handlebars of his aging transportation. His frost-nipped fingers reach into a withered shirt pocket and pull out a tiny book that is wrinkled and faded by time. He holds the worn New Testament to his heart tightly. “This is my treasure,” he says with tears flooding his eyes. Some men and women stop to give him money. Others pass by him. To most people, this way of life is incomprehensible, but to Dave Norton, it’s all he knows. The former Navy veteran and Kenova resident did not always live like this. In 2004, Norton suffered a heart attack that nearly took his life. His weight, vision and memory are still damaged from it. He was in and out of the hospital con- stantly. Unpaid medical bills still linger, but Norton remains pos- itive. WHEELING- Cabell Mid- land's first shot at a state title ended sullenly on Wheeling Is- land Saturday afternoon as the Knights fell to the now three- time Class-AAA state cham- pion Martinsburg Bulldogs. Midland was backed into a deep hole early and struggled throughout the contest to gain a grip. “We didn't come out good early and we made some mis- takes,” Cabell Midland head coach Luke Salmons said. “You can't do that against them. They're a great, great football team.” The Knights struggled to contained the potent Bulldogs on both sides of the ball. The defense gave up a season-high 425 yards while the offense produced a season-low 247 total yards. The rushing tan- dem of David Gaydosz and Lowell Farley accounted for the vast majority of those yards, each racking up over 100 yards in the contest. “That's the best team we've played all year by far,” Gaydosz said. “They have so many ath- letes and they're well- coached.” Martinsburg quarterback Cookie Clinton threw two touchdowns in the and rushed for another on his way to be- coming Class-AAA champi- onship MVP. Ohio Bobcat committee Cedric Brown caught both of Clinton's passes and finished with 74 receiving yards on four catches.

CHARLESTON - Gov. Earl RayTomblin recently announcedslots are available for additionalWest Virginians to receive Agedand Disabled Waiver Services.The governor has directed theWest Virginia Department ofHealth and Human Resources(DHHR) to move 120 West Vir-ginians from the managed en-
rollment list to fill these vacantpositions for the upcoming year.The positions became availabledue to members who left theprogram at some point duringstate fiscal year 2012 due todeath, moving out of state or to anursing facility, or for other rea-sons. The federal Center forMedicaid Services rules require
slots not be re-filled until thenext fiscal year.
"The Aged and DisabledWaiver program allows those en-rolled to receive traditionalMed-icaid services in addition toother in-home services designedto allow recipients to stay in theirhomes longer-which is a blessingfor all," said Gov. Tomblin.
DHHR announced a freeze onenrollment in the Aged and Dis-abled Waiver program last year.Thismovewasmade tomaintainthe current level of services forindividuals already enrolled inthe program.
Factors that contributed to lastyear's decision included a dropin the federal match rate from
83.05 percent to 72.62 percentand a five percent increase in theaverage cost per person receiv-ing waiver services. The matchrate determines the amount offederal and state money con-tributed to the program. As a re-sult of last year's freeze, amanaged enrollment list wascreated.

This seasoned wanderer hassomething to prove.“I want to do this right now to
show people that this old mancan live on the streets,” he said.In the past, Norton spent
some short stints in local VAhomes and city missions, butthe residents at those locationsdiscouraged him.“At one of the city missions,
they talked about crimes theycommitted…One even stole mywallet,” he said.That’s when he left. He be-
came a loner in Barboursville,making friends with those hecould help.
While speaking to Norton, itis clear that he is oblivious tothe way he lives. Bills, money,jobs and family do not dictatehis actions.He is empty-handed, but full
on the inside.This avid fisherman may lack
all material possession, butwhat he does not lack is love.The lowly nomad carries withhim a savings account, full ofgood deeds.He is rich when he serves oth-
ers, he explained.“I try to be a helpful person,
and I’m not worried about get-ting the help back,” Norton
said. “I try to be nice to every-one, even if I don’t know them.”He described one such situa-
tion near the main road, wherehe saw a woman pushing apickup truck. The vehicle hadrun out of gas.Norton helped move the
stalled truck off the busy road.“A lady should never have to
push a truck like that,” he said.Norton also regularly cleans
and organizes local businessesand grocery stores. When askedwhy he does so much for othersand not for himself, he simplyreplies, “Because I love to helppeople.”

*****Winter In SummertimeI shouldn’t be here.Sad talk on the phone,and I shouldn’t lingerToomanymemoriesmakes the familiar grass and

creteandmetal and hard wiresreplace my old running
grounds.
Used to takeme an hourto clamor through that thicket,just to see if I could reachthemonstrous Sycamore.Now it’s easy,just step over the short grass,one foot in front of the other.Too easy.
No Sycamore there now,just ametal polecovered in fecal matterfrom the birds.Alien. Bittersweet.At least the Red-winged Black-
birdshave a homein the swampy remains of the
creek.
Beautiful in there,but there’s a chain link fencethat won’t let me in.

Christin’s CornerBy Christin Daugherty
I am pregnant with my firstchild and due in April. I havenever been happier in my life andcannot wait to meet my son.How-ever, the baby’s father denies thatthe baby is his and has not con-tacted me since I found out I waspregnant. I’m ok with doing thisalone, but for some reason it isdriving me crazy that I haven’ttalked to him. I just want to seewhere he stands and talk to himin person. Do you think I shouldcontinue to try to contact him, orshould I just give up?
Sincerely,Baby Momma DramaDear Mama,Sounds like a tough one girl!
The first thing I want to tell you isto stay strong. Remember thatyou are stronger than any obsta-cle in life that youmay face.
Okay, now on to the babydaddy. I have known severalwomen that have been in similarsituations. And I can tell you for afact that your feelings are per-fectly normal. The act of trying tomake sure that your baby’s fatheris a part of your son’s life is a nat-ural, maternal instinct. However,and this may come as a shock,but out of all of yourmotherly re-sponsibilities, this is not one ofthem. If a man wants to be a fa-ther he will. If he doesn’t, hewon’t. Simple as that. And nomatter how hard you try, there isnothing you can do to changethat.
I do understand how you feelthough. I felt a similar way whenI was pregnant. The father and Iwere split up for awhile and hewas living in another state (with anew girlfriend). I was beside my-self. Youwant your baby to be thehappiest baby in the world, notwondering why their father isn’tthere. The situation eventuallyworked itself out, and he movedback to WV and has been therefor our daughter ever since.
Unfortunately, I realize that itdoesn’t work out that way for
everyone. I say, do what you feelis right. If you feel as though youcannot be at peace until you talkto him, then you should. If he ac-cepts his responsibility - great! Ifnot, then that is his loss and youshould no longer concern your-self. You already have a son toraise, and there is no use wastingyour energy on a full-grownman,now is there?
The best thing you can do foryour baby is to shower him withall the love you have to give. Sur-round yourself with family andfriends, and give him the kind oflife where he doesn’t feel like any-thing is missing. The truth of thematter is he probably won’t bemissing out on much anyway.Any man who wants nothing todo with his own child, not onlydoesn’t deserve one, but alsoprobably doesn’t have anythingto offer as a parent anyway. Ifyou’re like me then you probablyknow plenty of people, bothmenand women, who are raising kidsbut have no business doing so.
And then there are people likeyou and I, Momma. We arestrong, independent mommieswho would do anything for ourkids. I am confident that as longas you do your best to ensure thatyour child feels loved and secure,you will succeed. Life as youknow it is about to change. Makethemost of your new start.
“The moment a child is born,the mother is also born. Shenever existed before. The womanexisted, but the mother, never. Amother is something absolutelynew.” - Rajneesh

“DECEMBER’S SONGS”Thought for the week: Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with
a loud noise. PSALM 33; 3 (KJV)And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our
God;many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. PSALM40;3 (KJV)
The traditional songs of Christmas begin playing, soon as the Hal-loween season, has ended.Merchants rush past the thanksgiving sea-son right into Christmas season.
I was employed many years in retail and realize this is the profitsgain for year, but I think I’m stuck on this time warp again - yester-days - Christmas was long awaited for, looking forward to caroling,baking, special gifts picked with time for the intended person… timefor decorating, and cards, which nowwith a stamp increase each year,not asmany exchanged among friends, with e-mail a card is sent withno personal touch and family parties are less and less.
God’s church is where you can still find the time for Christmas, timefor friends, time to listen to music, caroling, dinners and all that cel-ebrates the birth of Jesus.You aremissing a blessing, while socializingwith friends, if you are not attending a church and enjoying all theseactivities, to communicate, sit with others, reminiscence of the Christ-mas pasts.
As Martha Stewart (the crafting queen) says IT’S A GOODTHING!To once again read the same old story about JESUS and his birth,
but it is also a reminder why we give thanks all 365 days of the year,why GOD sent him in the first place.
December’s songs of any type always bring back amemory of somekind to each of us. Maybe since this is the winding down of anotheryear that is why the month of December seems sentimental and tugsat our hearts more than other months.
Start this December; attend a church of your choice,make it a habitof attending every Sunday then your new year will bemore enjoyable.And I pray for snow too, it’s not Christmas without a big snow thatmakes the season merry.
You know, to me, rain is Gods tear drops, when He is saddened.Snow, is His breath of cold frosty air, He blows overHis world inwin-
ter to purify and make ready another season. Making it all well withthe world.
Prayer: Thank you again father, for the coming holidays to honorthe birth of your Son and may all enjoy the blessings in store. Amen.

Precious MemoriesBack when I was young, I would hear the song PreciousMemories
and just could not stand to hear the song. Precious memories howthey linger.
Well, when you are young, what kind of precious memories couldyou have?
MyMom has always liked the song.While raising children, doing all themundane things in life we have
to do while we are young.We do take a lot of things in stride, and sometimeswithin ourselves
we wish for the days as they were when we were alone and carefree.Children are a blessing from God and I am glad I am amother.There was a time when I thought I didn’t want children, but after
having them, you learn to like them. (HaHa). You get pregnant, ninemonths later you give birth and that is the only thing to do.
Now that I am older and kids are grown, the memories I have areprecious. The times we spent with them through the good days, thesick days and the up-all-night days.They certainly are preciousmem-ories and how they linger and how they ever floodmy soul in the still-ness of the midnight. Precious sacred scenes unfold.
Sometimes in themiddle of the night, we wake up and all is quiet.We don’t hear the sound of crying for us to get up. It really is stillness.
The songwriter knew about the precious memories we all carry inour hearts and souls.
For all of you young Moms and Dads, it does get better and whenyour kids are grown, you will understand the words to this song.
CHARLESTON - AttorneyGen-eral Darrell McGraw recently an-nounced thatMurray LLP, aTexaslaw firm, agreed to permanentlydiscontinue offering a service toWest Virginia foreclosure victimsthat a lawsuit filed by McGraw’soffice characterized as unscrupu-lous and deceptive. The agree-ment with Murray is reflected ina final order recently entered onNovember 1, 2012 in the CircuitCourt of Jefferson County thatsettles the suit filed against Mur-ray.
The suit alleged that Murray,through its website, www.bringa-claim.com, sought to charge con-
sumers a fee of 20% to assistthem in processing a claim forbenefits they were already guar-anteed to receive under the Na-tional Mortgage Settlement(NMS), reached earlier this yearby the federal government and 49state attorneys general with thenation’s five largest mortgageloan servicers.
The only requirement to re-ceive the NMS payment, esti-mated to be $1,500 to $2,000, iscompletion of a simple one-pageform that was mailed directly toall eligible persons. AttorneyGeneral McGraw’s suit allegedthatMurray attempted towrong-
fully profit from this process byleading consumers to believethat its serviceswere necessary toobtain the money when, in fact,the claims process was intendedto be simple and free.
In the final order entered bythe court, Murray agreed that itwould not represent or collectpayments from West Virginiaconsumers in relation to theNMS claims process or any othernon- litigation foreclosure serv-ices. Murray also agreed to placea notice on its website,www.bringaclaim.com, advisingthat its services are not availableinWestVirginia.
Attorney General McGrawstated, “I am pleased that wepromptly achieved our objective,which was to prohibit Murrayfrom chargingWestVirginia con-sumers who lost their homes toforeclosure a fee for a benefit thatwas intended to be free. Any con-sumers who have questions orneed assistance about how to filetheir claim under the NMS areencouraged to call my office,where they will be assisted with-out charge.””
In addition to the direct pay-ments to consumers who losthomes to foreclosure, the NMSagreement also required the
banks to establish newmortgageservicing standards that promisemore protection for consumers.Although the new servicing stan-dards are only binding on the fivebankswho signed theNMS, Bankof America, Citi, GMAC/Ally, JPMorgan andWells Fargo, it is ex-pected that the standards willserve as amodel thatwill likely beadopted by the entire industry.
To report a scam or consumerfraud or to file a complaint,WestVirginians can reach the AttorneyGeneral’s Office by calling theConsumer Protection Hotline at1-800-368-8808 or visitingwvago.gov online.

MILTON—On Thursday after-noon,November 29, a small groupof people learned hands-on, howto prune fruit trees.
The chilly day did not stopbranches from falling, asmenandwomen used loppers and smallsaws to shapeanappleorchardoff18 Mile Creek Road, in MasonCounty.
Saw dust flew while West Vir-ginia State University (WVSU)Agriculture Program and NaturalResource Leader Scott Byarsshowed the group the proper wayto trim a tree for maximum fruityield.
“Trees need pruning whenbranches crisscross and toucheach other,” Byars said. “We trimthem so they aren’t competing forsunshine.”
Participants learned where tostart trimming, and when andhow to trim. Limbs that grow ei-ther upward or toward the centerof the tree trunk should be cut.
Also, small limbs toward the endof branches that cause extraweight on the tree should betrimmed.
“We should strive to only leavebehind what will produce fruit,”he said.
This event was one of manyworkshops that the WVSU Agri-culture andNatural Resourcepro-
gramhosts.Thenext event is awreath-mak-
ing workshop from 10 a.m. tonoon and 4 to 7 p.m., Dec. 4, and10 a.m. to noon. Dec. 5 at theMil-tonPumpkinPark. Thisworkshopcosts $25, which includes all ma-terials and decorations needed tocreate unique holiday touches toparticipants’ homes.

Holly River State Park finallyhas phone service restored, stillin dark
Like many West Virginia statepark, Holly River State Park tookquite a beating from the Hurri-cane Sandy blizzard in October.Phone service was finally re-stored this week, although utilityservice has yet to be restored.
Electric service at Holly Riverhas been interrupted since Octo-ber 29, when the area was hit bythe storm.
Although utility service intothe main park has not been re-stored, one state-owned buildinglocated in a separate area of thepark has restored service. Part ofthis building will be convertedinto a temporary office and in-formation center to serve thepublic. Park staff has moved theoffice computer, reservationbooks, a phone, and other officeneeds to create a temporary of-fice to serve park patrons, takereservations and answer ques-tions.
“We have been overwhelmedwith emails and calls of concernfor Holly River and the employ-ees there,” said Brad Reed, dis-trict administrator for WestVirginia State Parks. “We are verypleased to get our general serv-ices up and running again and tobe able to provide service andcommunication to our parkguests.”
The temporary phone numberuntil themain park office has fullpower restoration is 304-493-6559. The office operating hourswill be Monday – Friday, from 8a.m. until 4 p.m. The email tocontact Holly River is [email protected].
A couple of years ago, I thoughtI had forever had my fill ofbutchering deer.
It all started with a phone callaround 6 p.m. and the question“Do you want a deer?”
I've got a family of four to feed.
Thus, when somebody asks me“Do youwant a deer?” it's a ques-tion that doesn't really needasked.
It was warm that year, toowarm to hang a deer and I had tocut it up right away. I didn't haveany help available and it tookmea couple of hours just to get thedeer hung up in the tree. Eventu-ally, I got it skinned, butchered itin the light of a flashlight, pack-aged the meat and put it in thefreezer.
When I finished butchering, itwas 4 a.m. I took a nap, woke upat 6 a.m. and was in the woods at7 a.m. Fifteen minutes later, Ishot a buck. A couple hours later,I had another deer in the tree andfinished butchering it sometimethat afternoon.
Then the phone rang again andI had a third deer. It was still toowarm to leave a deer hanging, soI butchered it immediately andfinished sometime that night.
By this time, I had already beencompletely exhausted for sometime. I finally got some sleep, butthe next morning, the phonerang again and I had a fourthdeer to butcher with haste.
Not long after, I got anothercall. For the first time in my life, Isaid “No thank you. I do not wantanother deer.”
I'm not complaining, mindyou. We ate almost nothing butvenison until the followingspring, but I did swear that I hadbutcheredmy last deer and I did-n't change my mind until I had adoe in the bed of my pickup.
This year was a little different.My 11-year-old son, David II, wasold enough to be of actual help.While the deer was lifted in thetree with one rope pulled withmy truck, little David kept slackout of the second rope (the ideaof the second rope is that it holdsthe deer while the main rope isuntied from the truck).Mostly, he
watched and learned. It's a goodfeeling to see your son do that onhis own.
When you shoot a deer, youhave four options, pay somebodyto cut it up (around $60), cut it upyourself, give it to someone youknow or give it to Hunters Help-ing theHungry, which distributesground venison to food banks forthe needy.
To donate a deer to HuntersHelping the Hungry, you have totake it to a participating proces-sor. You would think that “partic-ipating processor” would besomebody willing to take what-ever chump change the govern-ment is willing to pay, but that'snot the case. I did a cost analysisstudy once on the program andwhat it paid for processing andreached the conclusion that itwas about what everybody elsepays for processing.
The problem is, there are veryfew processors around the state.
The number of processors are sofew for one specific, deliberatereason: to control the number ofdeer the program can accept, be-cause if too many deer are do-nated, the program will not beable to pay for the processing.
Stop and think about that.Here is a program that can pro-vide nutritious protein to theneedy for about a dollar a poundor so.
When you buy your licenses orstamps online – I'm not sure ifyou can do it at a license agent ornot – there is an option to donateto Hunters Helping the Hungry.The program, which gets no tax-payer funding, is always in soreneed of cash, despite the fact ithasmore bang for the buck – punintended – of any charity I canimagine.
For more information, or tofind a participating processor,call (304) 558-2771 or visitwww.wvdnr.gov.

“We can't be down on our-selves,” Farley said. “We're justa bunch of rednecks out hereplaying with some D-1 collegefootball players.”For a team that made a sea-
son of blowing opponents outof the water, Martinsburg wassimply overpowering.“We did what we could,” Far-
ley added.Martinsburg had scored
three times before Midlandcould mount an answer. Browncaught touchdown passes from7 and 30 yards out while run-
ning back Trey Boyd erupteddown the line on an 82 yardrun.A big 68-yard run by Farley
set up a 1-yard squeeze into theendzone by Gaydosz midwaythrough the second quarter.Martinsburg quickly answeredon a drive capped by a 4-yardBoyd touchdown, and theKnights were in deep trouble28-7 at halftime.“It would have been hard for
any team to bounce back fromthat kind of difference,” Farleysaid.
Clinton added his 3-yardkeeper early in the half to putBulldogs up by a four touch-downs with time winding. Des-perate for something new, theKnights employed the Wildcatoffense with Gaydosz takingsnaps and quarterback Coy Pe-titt split out wide.Midland's second-half
tenacity led to another hard-fought 1-yard slip for Gaydosz,but the Knights were runningout of time.“I thought we settled down
and we played good in the sec-
ond half,” Salmons said. “Thatdoesn't justify losing on any-thing like that.”The Knights defense forced
Martinsburg's offense to cooloff late in contest, but the oddswere deeply against themheading into the fourth quar-ter.Bulldogs kicker Tyler De-
Haven hit monster 48-yardfield goal midway through thequarter and all Midland comehope for were big plays thatnever came.The clock had run out on the
game and on 2012.“I don't think anyone else
has worked harder than us as ateam, even Martinsburg,” Gay-dosz said, “I still don't believethat.”Salmons believes that the
player's work efforts andachievements have fosteredand. atmosphere for continuedsuccess.For Cabell Midland, the 2013
season isn't far off.“January,” Salmons said,
“They'll be ready. They're usedto it.”

The Cabell Midland High School Football team drives toward its State Cham-pionship game in Wheeling. More than 50 people cheered the boys on whilethey left the school parking lot.
