Winners and Losers:
Karen and John Attend a Jefferson County Commission Meeting: Omigosh!
Something is NOT happening in County Government in WV
 
 
Broadcasting LIVE Fridays at 7ish AM, Eastern Time
Hosts: Karen Valentine, John Case
A mouth-dropping experience with a theater of the absurd. There is a big struggle going on -- but over what, or on what planet, is unclear. A citizen called it a "laughing stock". Maybe: the old show the Honeymooners was funny -- but that was not a county government.

he Old Year J
by John Clare 1793 – 1864
 
The Old Year's gone away     To nothingness and night: We cannot find him all the day     Nor hear him in the night: He left no footstep, mark or place     In either shade or sun: The last year he'd a neighbor's face,    In this he's known by none.
All nothing everywhere:    Mists we on mornings see Have more of substance when they're here    And more of form than he. He was a friend by every fire,    In every cot and hall-- A guest to every heart's desire,    And now he's 'nought at all.
Old papers thrown away,    Old garments cast aside, The talk of yesterday,    Are things identified; But time once torn away    No voices can recall: The eve of New Year's Day    Left the Old Year lost to all.
This poem is in the public domain.

JOE BOCZEK, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, GAMECHANGER
 
“The fentanyl situation has gotten so terrible. It is such a danger to our kids, and our kids have such an easy access to counterfeit pills by buying them on the internet. It’s actually like playing Russian roulette. I’m told that within minutes, they can locate something and have it within an hour or two. They don’t understand they may be signing their death warrant. ”

To Know The Dark
by Wendell Berry
 
To Know the Dark by Wendell Berry To go in the dark with a light is to know the light. To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight, and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings, and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.
