The Department of Natural Resources announces that a ten-year-old study of the wild turkey in Eastern Greenbrier and Pocahontas counties has been completed. On October 1, the last mortar-thrown nets were fired, capturing five turkeys. This made a total of 303 birds captured and released at point of capture this summer and fall. During the ten years, 1,683 were banded and released at point of capture. Actually about 2,000 were captured because many were caught more than once. A complete report on the study will be published

From Williamsburg
The Copperheads earned quite a victory over our Frankford team last week; and we offer no excuses. Our boys gave their best and fought all the way. For this we are just as proud of them as you must be of your fighting team.
To me, as a parent, it was most gratifying to see two well coached, well trained, and clean fighting teams leave the field like real sportsmen with warm friendship dominating the scene. The courtesies of your spectators was likewise observed with no small admiration. I think it’s rather obvious that both schools must have some pretty solid leadership.
Are not these other qualities the ones which our sports programs are really striving for?
From the comments heard from our players, there is no question but that they strongly send their Marlinton neighbors their warmest regards and best wishes for a championship year to a great team.
It looks to me like you won a victory far in excess of what the score indicates.
Sincerely yours,
Tom Aldridge
