Rev. Kevin Gillespie filled his regular appointment at the Burning Springs M. E. Church.
The Creston Community Christmas Party will start at 3 P. M. at the Creston Community Building. There will be a covered dish meal with ham and there will be a special visitor for the benefit of the younger set. Give Kathleen a call about what you are bringing & come and celebrate the season.
Friday night at Grantsville put one of a mind as to how things were decades ago when on Friday night the town was full of people & there was no place to park. This time it was for the Christmas parade and the toy giveaway in the old high school gymnasium. Obviously there is hope for Grantsville & Calhoun County with such a positive attitude.
Speaking of such West Virginia Living magazine highlights “Wonder Woman Warrier Awards” and this time Crystal Mersh was honored. Some years ago the late Helen Morris was cited.
Some folks have set a nice bunch of Christmas lights in Sportsman’s Park in Elizabeth so an after dark trip is worth it. Elizabeth Mayor Bobbi Moore did a very nice job.
Those Creston residents who are on Naomi Toler’s route now have a change. Instead of first going up Little Creek to Cremo and then back down the West Fork to Creston and then going down W. Va. 5 to the mouth of Chestnut Run the new arrangement is to go down West Virginia 5 [The Little Kanawha Parkway] first and then head up Little Creek & over the Asa Haney hill to Hardman’s Fork & then down Big Rowell.
There have been several lawsuits concerning royalty owners that were being cheated by the big boys. Several of them have been in Judge David Hummel’s court rooms in northern W. Va. counties. Some while back the judge got irritated, so it is said, and he pulled out his “equalizer”. There was some furor and now the judge has resigned.
The Benedum Airport in Bridgeport is said to have made a deal with Mother Hope to drill the property and then using a microgrid, using the gas to power the airport and the aerospace businesses that are around the facility. A similar situation is said to be with the airport at Pittsburgh.
The release of the e-mails from Twitter show the world how censorship is done when the ruling class holds the First Amendment in contempt, believing that the peasants or the great unwashed, have no right to know the truth about whatever is in the news, medicine, etc.
Boston Massachusetts got a new load of LNG (liquified natural gas) said to be from Trinidad at a cost of about 5 X what it would cost if transported by pipeline from the immense Marcellus & Utica fields of West Virginia, Ohio & Pennsylvania [it is in New York too but drilling there is verboten]. Poor old Fauxcohantas has made it clear that her wigwam will never be warmed with natural gas from America.
Folks from Freeport, Annamoriah & Creston attended the Farm Bureau & Forestry dinner at the Wood County 4-H grounds to hear from the legislators before the session starts in January. Sen. Azinger asked for some detail about the idea of making urea and ammonia fertilizer in West Virginia from the abundant natural gas that is being produced and shipped away elsewhere. Fertilizer plants are not glamorous like steel mills that “use green energy” but we all like to eat and fertilizer is needed to feed the world. These plants can be located on old strip mines that have pipeline & rail access and would not be a danger to populated centers. If new pipelines are needed Calhoun County has several folks who know how to do that.
Toby Rice the head honcho at EQT believes that it all ought to go overseas as LNG and thus “make peace”. Of course natural gas that goes to Europe likely fetches $20 and that going to the orient likely $30 so one can understand his thinking although those prices do not seem to reflect what locals are paid for their gas but, of course, that is another matter.
The price of local Pennsylvania grade crude is $78.98/bbl. with condensate [super mountain high test] fetching $62.98/bbl. and Marcellus & Utica light bringing $69.98 & medium $78.98/bbl.
