The big Creston Halloween Party will be Saturday, October 24 at 5 P. M. With a covered dish meal. It is the occasion where children of all ages can dress up and “be somebody”. There will be prizes for each age group, starting with infants & toddlers to the “mature”. For details on the meal call Barb at 275-0006. On past occasions even presidents have visited Creston. Who will show up this time?
A good crowd was on hand Saturday for the CB & HAM radio folks. They came from far and near to trade, swap, purchase talk, visit, meet with new people and check out Creston cuisine. Brian Stutler won the radio.
Virginia Swart age 94 of Annamoriah passed away. She was one of Scott Greathouse’s 21 children.
Some local folks got to see and even photograph Elon Musk’s rocket that took stuff into orbit. To say such was impressive was an understatement.
Sunday morning it was on the cool side with frost in some places but in Creston there was fog.
Those who live in Creston west of the Little Kanawha River bridge were to have a scheduled power outage from 1 AM until 5 A. M. However, it was not until 11 AM before the electric came back on. Many have noted that electric service locally is poor at best and interruptions in service are commonplace.
It was reported that the Wirt County School Board held a secret meeting and it is reported that some there plan to “go after” those parents who home school and send their children to private or Christian schools. It is also reported that one board member resigned & now there is a vacancy on the board.
At the Elk River run down in Clay County Braden Ferrell was second and Eli Ferrell came in third. The local runners continue to do well in competition.
Local folks motored to Nashport Ohio for the big Ergon catfish fry held at their terminal there. Barton Lampton who is in Ergon management down in Mississippi said that anytime he could help just give him a call. The fish was cooked in a special secret oil recipe that is said to be flavored with pure Pennsylvania grade crude and thus was delicious as were the hush puppies.
Creston folks attended the Wirt County Farm Bureau annual dinner held at the 4-H grounds at Camp Barbe. Of course pickled corn was on the menu.
Barb Wright’s brother came in from Ohio and harvested a nice buck. Barb was serving deer steak for supper.
A deer poacher shot a deer on Ann’s Run and tried to run over the landowner who was trying to stop the truck from getting away.
A nice flock of young turkeys was checking out breakfast in a meadow on the Creston Flats.
It was reported that natural gas for January delivery to New England will cost $20 while the Henry Hub price is $3.30 and the Texas Eastern M-2 (the price for local gas going into interstate pipelines) was $1.05. When the current Massachusetts governor was the AG there she bragged about stopping natural gas from coming into “her” state. Now, she is begging for gas to be brought to Bean Town. It would seem that Pixie Dust didn’t work out so well.
Speaking of gas up in that country the USGS [US Geological Survey] determined that there is 9 trillion cubic feet of recoverable gas in the Utica in Quebec but the Green Weenies there do not want it drilled.
Not so long back there was lots of talk about the $multibillion ARCH 2 Hydrogen hub that was to be at least in part in West Virginia. The word now is that it has “gone dark” and some who were principals in the scheme now deny being involved. EQT & CNX the two biggies that were to supply the natural gas to make the hydrogen are now big into gas fired power plants that will fuel data centers.
Last week it was reported that Columbia Gas/TransCanada was abandoning the firm’s storage field at Majorsville in Marshall County. A local reader from that neighborhood advised that a sister Rockefeller company Consol had long walled the coal underlying that section and most of the storage wells had to be plugged. IT was noted that the compressor station has already been torn down and sold for scrap.
In all this discussion about natural gas for export, as LNG, gas to run power plants for data centers that are necessary for SI (super intelligence) it seems that gas to make ammonia & urea for fertilizer “fell through the cracks”. It should be noted that the Creston News writer lives to eat and without fertilizer some will go hungry and other may actually starve. Ammonia & Urea plants need to be located away from dense populations but, especially in southern West Virginia there are lots of sites that have rail access.
Those who follow the news can observe that likely France as a nation is lost. The invaders have joined up with the resident communists and are now burning down the nation. We have those in our country who would love to do the same thing here. Even the minister this morning spoke of his concern. Both groups of the red – green alliance detest Christians and work to eliminate the faith.
Some Wirt folks attended the Mike Azinger gathering Sunday afternoon at City Park in Parkersburg.
Infinity Natural Resources, a group based in Morgantown, announced that the firm has drilled a dry gas Utica well in a Pennsylvania County that only has Marcellus wells. The firm is said to be looking for other opportunities.
“Because of uncertainty” world oil prices have gone up again. Now, you know it would have noting to do with the Iranian mullahs telling folks in America to vote for the Muslims and the DSA (communists) to try to stop President Trump. West Texas intermediate was $99.92 and Brent (North Sea crude) ws $109.86/bbl. The price for Pennsylvania grade crude in W. Va. Is $99.41/bbl. With condensate fetching $82.41/bbl. And Marcellus & Utica light was $89.41/bbl. Gasolene in Elizabeth was $3.90/gallon while elsewhere it is much higher.
