Rev. Kevin Gillespie filled his regular appointment at the Burning Springs M. E. Church & served Holy Communion.
Long time Little Creek resident Jeanne Stutler, age 87, passed away at the Minnie Hamilton Extended Care unit. She had been in a bad way for an extended period of time. Burial in the McCray [Snyder] cemetery at Creston.
The big fall ATV poker run is Saturday, September 30 with signups ending at noon. The route goes through the middle of a big paw paw patch and has lots of water, mud & rocks. Sonny Burdette noted that he couldn’t remember ever having to use so much FWD to traverse the mudholes. It was proved that those new “kinetic” tow straps work so having a working winch, tow straps, tire repair kits & such might prove helpful. Goldenrods are still in bloom as are asters and many other fall flowers that add color to the route. The route has lots of beautiful scenery & the leaves are starting to turn as well. There are two sections of new route so most will get to see new places on the 60 mile route. While shaking paw paws one hit Marty deVries spectacles & knocked out a lens that could not be found.
Marty & Leon put a new roof on the Creston Space Dock to prevent alpha & beta particles from entering the facility.
Nancy Wright is visiting Barb Wright after spending time helping her sister Linda & husband move into an assisted living facility.
Up in Monongalia County there is a problem with the state road not mowing the weeds & grass with a lack of equipment being cited but on W. Va. 2 in Marshall County there are contractors with big equipment removing all the shrubs & trees from the right-of-way. Apparently aesthetics are not in the plan to make the state look good for the residents and visitors. It is clear that there is no $$ in doing routine maintenance, at least for the big wigs.
Donna Sue Ferrell now has a broken arm and a bum ankle.
Jack Griffin was taking Debbie on a walk up the West Fork.
ORVI, a front group for the Heinz Endowment is now going after the Pleasants power plant & the proposal to make graphite & run the plant on hydrogen. Mean times, John Heinz Kerry, who is married to the widow Heinz and is the “climate envoy” says that to get to net zero agriculture has to be addressed & there are too many people. Of course killer vaccines that are mandated will reduce the population of the undesirables (us) so the problem would be solved. Kerry is noted for flying all over the planet on private jets, for the greater good of course. Now, it is learned that the m-rna [messenger ribose nucleic acid] that makes the spike protein can be transferred in mother’s milk.
Alvin Engelke still has some loving little kittens who need a loving home.
Michael Bloomburg, the politically active billionaire noted he had spent $500 million shutting down coal fired power plants in USA (but not China, of course) and that he plans to spend $500 million to shut down natural gas fired plants & an additional $90 million or so to make sure that there are no new petrochemical plants in West Virginia, Ohio or Pennsylvania to utilize that vast quantities of methane, ethane, propane & other components from natural gas produced from Marcellus &Utica wells. This may explain why the elites down at the Mouth of the Elk won’t raise a finger to promote use of the resources here to make the state wealthy instead of shipping all the resources to distant states & nations.
Along those lines EQT has entered into a deal with an LNG export facility in Cameron Louisiane to export gas produced here. W, Va. Senate president Baldy Blair tends to look to EQT “for advice”. Now, it is reported that folks in his district intend to “retire him”.
The newspaper Down at the Mouth of the Elk did a big story about Governor Justice’s properties selling at county tax sales. Seems Mitch McConnell, a deep state slug, wants the governor to be the candidate to oppose Broadway Joe for senator. That way, either way, the deep state wins.
The Bank of America now reports that it will be a mild winter and that the Henry Hub price of natural gas will fall below $2. Presently in W. Va. some small producers are getting bills for placing gas into the gathering lines. Simply put, instead of being paid for the natural gas produced the big boys are charging for taking the wet gas which they sell after removing the natural gas liquids.
Recently the ruling Junta said that having LNG [liquified natural gas] on trains was unsafe while it is OK to use trucks, barges & ocean going ships. No problems here.
A number of local residents attended the big Ergon catfish fry in Marietta. Bob Taylor recounted the late Nellie Engelke when she ran the college bookstore with her pictures of boats on the Little Kanawha River. Mark Lytle noted that he was having some medical problems but had them under control. Some were telling stories about Jeff Elder and all were chomping down on the catfish & fixins. One woman noted the quality of the salad & had a second helping.
Barton Lampton, an Ergon official who works & lives in Mississippi, noted that he reads the Creston News each week.
The US Treasury has come out with new “voluntary” guidelines for banks to get to the super hyped “net zero carbon emissions”. It is obvious that there are those who hate America & intend to destroy the nation so that other nations, perhaps ones that gave millions to deep state folks can rule over us. Today’s Sunday School lesson was about Ehud who, with God’s help, defeated Moab and gave Israel 80 years of peace & prosperity.
The price of local Pennsylvania grade crude rose to$89.03/bbl. with condensate fetching $71.03/bbl. & Marcellus & Utica light bringing $80.03 & medium $80.03/bbl. Henry Hub[Louisiane] natural gas was $2.64 while natural gas on the Columbia System (TCO) was $1.298 and on Dominion (DTI) it was $1.183. Last August it was $7.333/dekatherm just to show how manipulated markets actually work. Y grade condensate was $27.528/bbl. while last year the price was $40.493/bbl.
