MY FELLOW CLAY COUNTIANS ... & surrounding neighbors ...

Those of you who are located in Clay, Boone, Fayette, Putnam & Kanawha counties in WV, please, please, PLEASE take a few minutes to complete this survey. We can't fill needs if we don't know what they are! Thankyouverymuch! 

EnAct, Inc. is conducting a community needs assessment in order to determine causes of poverty in Boone, Clay, Fayette, Kanawha and Putnam Counties and mobilize resources in a plan to meet community needs. EnAct would like to have as many people as possible in these counties to take the brief survey.

The process involves gathering feedback from area residents by asking survey questions about key poverty indicators including education, employment, housing, health, nutrition, use of income, transportation, emergency situations and children’s needs. They will use this information to guide the organization, strengthen services and ultimately have a positive impact in our community.  Providing feedback is easy as logging onto:  

https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/EnAct2014

The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes and must be completed in one sitting. Deadline for survey completion is July 31, 2014. There are no right or wrong answers, and feedback from all is greatly appreciated!

BOMONT, WV -

Cunningham Energy's drill site in Bomont, Clay County, WV, was burglarized Thursday, October 3. According to the company, more than $30,000 in tools were stolen from the drilling rig.

The company says is offering a $10,000 reward for the return of these tools as well as information leading to prosecution of the person or persons responsible. Cunningham Energy is working with the West Virginia State Police and said that it's waiting on a report from investigators.

If you have any information you are asked to contact West Virginia State Police.

This is not the first time that Cunningham Energy has been the victim of thieves. A trailer was stolen from the office in Kanawha County in December 2012. It was later recovered as part of a Kanawha County Sheriff's Department investigation.

THERE'S A NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN ...

Whaddaya think?   

I HATE GOODBYES ....

WHAT THE ... ??

So ... last night around 9:30 or so, my satellite TV died, my satellite internet died & this morning, I saw this on the Communicator's website: "Shortly after 9pm, looking westward and well above the tree line, several, maybe 20, glowing orangey red lights traveled right to left as they crossed the sky. In a straight line and well spaced apart, they made no noise. No roar, no motor, no nothing. Sort of looked like the fire glow of a hot air balloon ... " Did anybody else experience the ALIEN INVASION??
