Veterans receive Quilts of Valor from
local group 
The Samples family’s 20th reunion on September 3 was the venue for four veterans to receive Quilts of Valor made by the Crazy Quilters’ Quilt Guild. Veterans honored on that day were Keith Samples, Mitchell Samples, Ron Samples, and Charles Samples.
Quilts of Valor are used to recognize the contributions veterans have made in serving their country and contributing to the freedom of all Americans. Quilting groups throughout the state use part of their time to make these quilts. The local Crazy Quilters group meets once monthly at the Pulse Church in Gassaway.
The oldest of the four veterans, Lance Corporal Charles Samples, served from 1960 to 1964 in the United States Marines at Quantico, Virginia, as a printer. Retired after 35 years with Union Carbide, he resides in Duck.
E4 Ronald Samples, who served in the United States Navy from 1965-1969, was assigned to the USS Chicago stationed in San Diego, California. Deployed to Vietnam three different times, he was a diesel mechanic on his ship.

LDS donates truckload of commodities to Food Bank
On Saturday morning, September 9, a semi-truck containing 20,000 pounds of food commodities worth $22,000 pulled up to the loading dock at the Mountaineer Food Bank in Gassaway. Supporting the Day-To-Serve and to help alleviate hunger in the state, the commodities were contributed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Waylon Bryant, from Volunteer WV, Jeffrey Skousen, member of the church and Chad Morrison, Director of the Mountaineer Food Bank, were on hand with others to meet the delivery truck.
“This is the sixth year that the Latter-day Saints have donated 20,000 pounds of food to our Food Bank,” stated Chad Morrison. “The delivery always comes at a time when it is needed, and particularly right now with so many people affected by floods that devastated parts of West Virginia this past summer.” He also mentioned that the food is of excellent quality and contains products that are difficult to get.

On September 4, West Virginia State Police CPL P.A. Huff and Sutton Police Department Chief A.L. James used a confidential informant to complete a drug buy.
Chief James had received information from the informant that he was able to get Roxicodone pills from Joseph Wayne Keener, 26 of Sutton, for $60 per pill. The officer provided him with marked currency to make the purchase. The controlled buy took place in the parking lot at the old bread store and was witnessed by Chief James. Keener met with a third party, later identified as Ronald Lee Haggerty, where he purchased the pill using the marked money and then delivered it to the confidential informant. Keener was arrested and transported to the Central Regional Jail for processing.
