Any people interested in
installing solar photovoltaic power
are welcome to view a successful

kW installation to the grid in June
2017.
Designed and Constructed by
Daniel Connant of Solar Holler, the
system has more than achieved its
goal of producing as much electricity
as the farmhouse consumes. That is
in the range of 1400 kWh per year.
The system is entirely grid
connected through an inverter to
match the photovoltaic voltage with
that of the grid. Battery backup
was not considered affordable at
this time.
The power company credits the
customer for the solar production at
least the same rate that it charges
to deliver electricity to the home
when the sun is not shining.
This means a solar installation
should pay for itself in about seven
years---as long as the present
federal tax credits prevail.
Solar is not cheap but it costs

College Foundation of West Virginia sets goal
for statewide FAFSA completion Statewide
efforts will encourage at least 63 percent of high
school seniors to file a FAFSA by April 15, 2019
BARNS OF SUMMERS cOUNTY- west virginia Heritage
An extract from the book for your enjoyment
By Phyllis Campbell Whitley
High school students should
plan now to complete college
financial aid "applications if they
wish to become eligible for state
and federal grants and student aid,
like the PROMISE Scholarship and
federal Pell Grant.
Today, the College Foundation of
West Virginia (CFWV) announced
a goal to have at least 63 percent of
West Virginia high school seniors
complete a Free Application for
Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, by
April 15, 2019.
The FAFSA is the application
that Students must complete to
apply to receive financial aid
fbr college: Students whofile
the FAFSA are considered for
a number of state- and federal-
level financial aid programs, such
as West Virginia's PROMISE
Scholarship, which awards up to
$4,750" annually, and the- West
Virginia Higher Education Grant
Program, which awards up to
$2,700 annually. Students are
also considered for the federal Pell
Grant, which awards up to $6,095
annually to qualifying students.
Last year, the following schools
met or exceeded the 63 percent
FAFSA completion goal by the
April 15, 2018 deadline:
Bluefield High . Schoo;
Bridgeport High School;Buffalo
High School; Central Catholic
High School; Charleston Catholic
High School; Doddridge County
High School; East Fairmont High
School; Faith Christian Academy;
George Whshington High School;
Harman Elementary/High School;
Hurricane High Scho61; Liberty
HighSchool - Raleigh; Midland
Trail High School; Mingo Central
High School; Montcalm High
School; Morgantown High School;
Nicholas County High School;
Paden City High School; Paw Paw
High School; Ravenswood High
School; Saint Albans High School
Scott High School; St. Marys
High School; Summers County
High School; Teays Valley Christian
School; Tug Valley High School;
Union Educational Complex;
University High School; Weirton
Madonna High School; Wheeling
Park High School
Williamstown High School;
Winfield High School.
The West Virginia
Higher Education Policy
Commission (Commission)
manages the College Foundation
of West Virginia initiative. Carolyn
Long, Interim Chancellor of the
Commission, expressed her desire
that every student in the class of
2019 file a FAFSA.
"A lot of students may not realize
just how many forms of financial
aid become available to them upon
filing the FAFSA," said Long. "By
completing the application, a huge
pool of money opens up, and many
of these forms of financial aid, like
grants and scholarships, don't have
to be repaid. Easing the financial
burden can help students focus
more on their studies and less on
how to pay for college."
Dr. Sarah Tucker, Chancellor
of the West Virginia Community
and Technical College
System (WVCTCS), issued a
reminder to studentsthat they
cannot receive many forms of
financialaid until they complete
the FAFSA.
"Last academic year, students
who attended one of West Virginia's
public colleges and universities
collectively received millions of
dollars in schnlarships and grants
alone, but to be considered for many
grant and scholarship opportunities,
students must file the FAFSA,"
said Tucker. "The money is there,
but students must apply to receive
it: Filing the FAFSA should be the
first step for anyone who wants
to obtain an education or training
beyond high school."-
March 1 is the deadline for
students to submit a FAFSA
to apply fbr the PROMISE
Scholarship, and April 15 is the
deadline for students to submit
the FAFSA to be considered for the
West Virginia Higher Education
Grant Program. Students who plan
to pursue education or training
beyond high school during the
2019-2020 academic year can now
complete the 2019-2020 FAFSA
online at www.fafsa.gov using their
2017 tax returns. Students who
wish to apply for the PROMISE
Scholarship can do so now at www.
cfwv.com/PROMISE.
Staff from the Financial Aid
Division at the Commission
are working with college and
university partners to help increase
financial aid awareness throughout
communities in the state.
As a result, hundreds of
free financial aid and FAFSA
workshops are scheduled
throughout the academic year. A
full list of workshops is available
at cfwvconnect.com/community-
calendar.
Earlier this year, CFWV
announced that high schools that
participate in the three college-
planning pathway initiatives,
which are College Application
& Exploration Week, FAFSA
completion events and College
Decision Day, and meet certain
requirements will be recognized
in the fall of 2019 as a CFWV
Champion of College Access and
Success.
More information on this
recognition will be provided to high
schDols that have registered to
participate in College Application
& Exploration Week.
CFWV is West
Virginia's free college- and career-
planning resource. The initiative
is led by the Commission in
partnership with WVCTCS and
the West Virginia D~partment of
Education.
FORMER LEE AND OTTIE TABOR BARN WAS ON
BARGER SPRINGS ROAD
When this barn was torn'down
m 1989 you could say it had served
Lee and Ottie (Hutchinson) Tabor
well.
Built around 1928 by Lee Tabor
and his brothers, it was used
contin'uously for sixty-one years.
It was a place to milk the cows,
provide stalls for two horses, a
manger to feed the animals and a
place to store the hay.
Granddaughter, Dolores
Moorman provided a good
recall of the family history: "My
grandparents were married
September 25, 1907. I believe they
moved to the farm soon after they
were married.
They lived on the farm until their
deaths. They h.ad eight children and
only one is still living and that ismy
Aunt Dorothy Tabor-and she lives
at Marie. Grandpaw passed away
February 21, 1960 and Grandma
passed away December 5, 1979.
My Aunt Dorothy lived on the
farm till 1990 and then she moved
to Marie. My husband, Larry &
I purchased the farm in October
1989.
My parents were Joe & Bertha
Gwinn. Myl morn, Bertha Tabor
grew up on this farm. Morn and Dad
married in 1940 and they moved to
Lockbridge. I have great memories
"of visiting my grandparents with
my cousin Elsie Gwinn Baker when
I was a child. Elsie & I would help
gather the eggs from the chicken
house. We wov[ld draw up water
from the hand dug well that was
located on the back porch. I still
have the bucket that we used for
that purpose. In the evenings we
would sit on the front porch and
swing."
The interesting farm implement
in the field is a sickle bar mower. It
was drawn by ahorse and driver. It
was used for cutting hay. It now sits
on a big fiat rock on the Moorman's
"Bluebird Farm".
The barn was located on the
Barger Springs Road, about ~A mile
from the 4-H Camp Road in the
Forest Hill District.
