Highway System
ously jeopardize the flow of fe&ral
highway funds to the States.
While ISTEA authorized the
National Highway System, the
rojtes on the system are subject to
final Congressional approval. Un-
der the law, the Secretary's trans.
mittal to the Congress of a proposed
system sparks a two.year period
during which Congress must enact
legislation to approve it. If that
deadline is not met, a self-executing
provision of ISTEA will halt the flow
of a substantial portion of Federal
highway funds to the States.
Incorporated into the National
Highway System are to be the exist-
ing Interstate and Defense Highway
Systems, urban and rural principal
arterials and high-priority corridors
identified by the Congress.
West Virginia's share of National
Highway System funds is approxi.
mately $41.4 million per year sub-
ject to a 20% State match for a total
of $49.6 million per year. National
Highway System funds apportioned
to W. Va. may be used for construc-
tion, rehabilitation, restoration,
resurfacing and reconstruction proj-
ects on highways and roads desig-
nated on the system,
Rahall said that he would con-
vene the Surface Transportation
Subcommittee early in 1994 to con-
duct hearings on the proposed Na-
tional Highway System, and antici-
pates House action on the measure
before Memorial Day.
While generally pleased with the
National Highway System routes for
W.Va. recommended by the U.S.
Dept. of Transportation, Rahall said
that several routes proposed by the
State were excluded from the map
being transmitted by the Transpor-
tation Secretary to the Congress.
According to State and Federal trans-
portation officials, these routes were
not incorporated into the proposed
National Highway System due to a
dispute over whether they consti-
tuted 'prindpal arterial' roads. One
such disputed projectisthe proposed
Coalfields Expressway,
"Secretary Pena and Federal
Highway Administrator Slater have
already been made aware of the fact
that I will amend the National High-
way System map theysre prolmming
to include the proposed Coalfields
Expressway corridor in W.Va.,"
Rahall said. I have made it very
clear that the House of Roprssenta.
tires will not pass the ldslation
without including the Coalfield,
Expressway."
Rahall said that he would also
seek to include during Congressional
consideration of the National High.
way System legislation a small seg-
ment of the proposed Shawnee Park-
way that was excluded on the pro-
posed map. He indicated that he
would review the other routes pro-
posed by the State but excluded by
the U.S. Dept. of Transportation.
According to Rahall, regardless of
whether these two projects are
comprisd of principal arterial routes
there is justification for their inclu.
sion because the Shawnee Parkway
by law is part of the 1-73 High-Prior.
ity Corridor and the proposed Co-
alfields Expressway is intended to
be part of the Transamerica High.
Priority Corridor.

LetterTo The Editor
Brother
Asks Why?
Dear Editor:.
I read in your paper where
Crisafulli said he was havingtrouble
with his brother.in.law. If this was
the case, why didn't he confront them
instead of taking such a cowardly
way out?
What was his motives in [alleg.
edly] killing Teresa and Regina?
In my opinion he is a monster and
should go to the electric chair, or let
the family have him.
Ida was my istr. All he could do
was pick on women.

BIG TIME CRIMINAL
ARRESTED IN HINTON:
In earlier days ofthe City of Hin-
ton, Summers St. only extended from
Second Ave. to Smith Hollow. Only a
pedestrian path extended from a
footbridge at Smith Hallow near 12th
Ave. to Riverview. Horse and wagon
traffic beyond Smith Hallow had to
go up a steep hill to Temple St. and
proceed west through thearoaknown
at the time as Riverview. In 1911 a
culvert was laid down from Smith
Hollow built of stone reinforced on
top with concrete about 200 ft. long,
60 ft. wide and six tL deep to handle
the flow of water. The area, 60 ft.
deep midway was then filled in with
dirt openirig up Summers St. through
Riverview to Briars Hollow•
Before the west yard tracks of the
C&O Railway were extended, "CW"
Cabin telegraph office was located
on the railroad below 12th Ave. with
a telegraph operator on duty con-
tinuously. Monday, Sept. 18, 1916,
was a quiet day in the westyard with
little, if any, activity. The telegraph
operator was suddenly aware of three
white men huddled together acting
strangely. He kept out of sight and
watched them hide a package under
a rock and then separate. One went
up the track past the roundhouse in
the direction of the passenger depot
and the other two went up the hill
toward Riverview.
Naturally the operator's curiosity
was aroused. He got the package,
opened it and found a kit containing
several steel drill bits, a box ofgly.
serine caps, a stick of dynamite and
some greased paper saturated with
glycerine ready for use.
He immediately notified police
officers and C&O Special Agent, Mr.
C.D. Duke. The two men who re-
mained nearby were quickly arrested
but the one last seen walking toward
the depot could not be found and
apparently high-tailedit out of town.
There had been numerous post
o an, d rai[lr o#d, stagn bbed
in this section of the state where
glycerine was used, leading authori-
ties to believe they had arrested the
culprits. Only recently railroad safes
had been robbed in the stations at
Bluefield, on the Norfolk and West-
ern; Narrows, Va., on the Virginian
and St. Albans on the Chesapeake
and Ohio. A Rand McNally map of
Va. and Ky. showing the location of
every post office in those states were
found on one of the men arrested
who gave their names as U.S. Brooks
and Stanley Miner.
C&O Special Agent Duke secured
a printed circular from the Post Office
Dept., showing the picture of one
Hugh C. Brooks listing certain marks
of identification as follows: A girl,
part nude, tatooed on the left fore-
arm, a girl, part nude, holding an
American flag on the right forearm
and a tatooed ring set on the right
index finger, all of which were easily
found on Brooks.
Brooks, also known by Federal
Officers as James Highland, aka
James Hyland, aka James Brady,
aka James Harrington, had a long
criminal record. He served two terms
in a Massachusetts penitentiary and
escaped twice but recaptured and
served eight years. He had served 11
years in prison at Huntsville, Tx.,
for blowing a safe in that State.
Served three years in prison at At-
'lenta, Ga., for burglarizing the post
office at Kearnsville, Walnut Cove
and Mocksville, all in N.C. Apr. 10,
1913, he was convicted in the U.S.
District Court at Huntington, for
robbing the Post Office at Raven-
swood, and sentenced to three years
in the Federal Penitentiary at Leav-
enworth, Kansas. He was wanted at
Crossville, Tenn., where he had
escaped while awaiting trial for
robbery of the Post Office at
Crossville, Tenn.
The capture of Hugh Brooks, or
whatever his name, was considered
one of the most important captures
made by local officers in a long time.
Brooks, whose age was thought to be
Hinton, took charge of Brooks and
returnedhim to prison at Crossville,
Tenn. Being unable to tie Stanley
Miner to any crime, he served 20
daysinjail at Hinton for trespassing
and was released.
LETTER TO
THE EDITOR
Been 3 Months
Dear Editor:
It has been 3 months since the
death of Ida Mae, Regina Jordan
and Teresa Ann Ward. No one can
even be[.dn to imagdne what their
mother's, Faye Jollifie and Aretha
Ward are going through unless they
have themselves. That man has sure
put a hole in their hearts just like
the bullet through the victim's heads.
They could be alive today, laughing
and enjoying life, but for this ter-
rible mm'der.
It is not right that he is sitting in
jail and getting his rights when he
(allegedly) murdered them. There is
no excuse for any man to murder
defenseless women or men. I still
can't believe they died in such a
harmful way.
Healthy Kids
Day
On Sat., Jan. 8, 1994, Summers
County Schools will be sponsoring
HEALTHY KIDS DAY for all pre-
school children ages birth to 5. This

No Place To Hunt
court of law and yours might not be
neither. The next time you pass by
my house, read the sign I have next
to the road, because after all, I still
have a few gravels left in my drive-
way and a few gallons of water left in
my spring.
Feel free to "SWOO1 down. I
hope after you all read this you will
think differently about all those
Posted Signs. These landowners
have worked about all their lives for
theirhomes and big fields. They know
that in about one hour in a court
room it can all be taken away from
them. Doesn't it make you feel real
good to know that you have some-
thing that other people want so bad,
that they are willing to gamble on
their own souls. They take a chance
that God will over look their action
while they are still alive on this
earth. I don't believe too many people
would take such a big gamble on
their own souls up against a gob of
dirt and a cup of water. Do YOU?
Some people will, but not many.
And that is what is comes down too.
When people see you in court they
automatically think you did some-
thing wrong. They don't know that
you could be there trying to fight for
a roof over your head.
In your opinion who's worse off. A
man that commits a crime, pays hfs
fi ne and goes on home, or someone in
court all the time, trying to take'
everything another person has?
So citizens of Summers CO. It's
wo kinds of Vultures in this world.
It's the kind that flies around and
waits until it's prey id already dead
before he starts picking the bones
and then there is the kind with two
legs that will walk around and pick
you clean while you stand there and
look at them in a court of law. They
have no feelings for no one :@xcept
theirselvos. When you raiseyour
children whfit route do you take.
Teach them to leave people's stuff
alone, or say "Come on Boy go to
court with me and lql show you how
it is done Legally."
All this fussing over Water must
mean that some people know where
they will be located after death and
needs to take all the water with
them that their coffins will hold.

These Medicines
Reduce Heart-Attack
Dear Editor:
It seems like everybody is always
talking about all these Posted Signs.
They complain that they have no
place to hunt because everything is
always Posted. These landowners
are good decent people who have a
right to protect their property from
someone who has "dollar signs in
their eyes.
Let me tell you my story.
In 1978 my dad gave me a "Life
Contract," to my house and yard,
thinking that with a contract it
couldn't be sold. Together with my
kids we dug a drive-way out with a
pick and shovel. We hauled gravel in
gallon buckets to fix it up a little
bit.i also built my spring up so it will
hold more water. Well, I have been
to Circuit Court 3 times over this
little piece of ground. Laat week was
the latest.
Let me ask you something? How
many people on Zion Mr. ever see my
dad parking his truck beside his
hou and unloading potatoes. How
many people saw the big wood shed
down my driveway where my dad
kept his wood? He always unloaded
it beside the road and stacked in up
in a pile. There was never a drive.
way there until we built one there.
I built a wood shed last year to put
my wood in, and my line is fl'om the
walnut tree down. They also told
that it was over on their property.
My dad has already passed an. and
my word wasn't good enough in a
court of law, and yours might not be
neither.
Did you know that they have take v
the Bible out of the courtrooms? It is
easy for some people to "Swear To
God," to tell the truth, and think
they can have a clean heart. That
they won't ever have to answer to
God for their actions. Ira person will
"Swear to God " over a gob of dirt
called a driveway it is hard to imag-
ine the length they would go to if it
has a little bit of money involved.
It's not just dirt that people will
take you to court over. My other
brother, Raymond, was using a
spring of water for over 30 years. He
had to go to Ch'cuit Court "two times"
in order to have a glass of water. So
you see, people, in our cases, we
were brought to court and we're not
big landowners. We just try to live
from day to day.

Material Picked Up
Dear Mr. Editor,
During the summer I inquired at
the County Courthouse about hav-
ing a pile of illegally dumped con-
struction material and old furniture
picked up from the road near my
house. I was told it couldn't be done.
There were no provisions for money
in the budget to pick it up and be-
sides, "people have been dumping
for 100 years and I may just as well
get used to it."
I called the Solid Waste Authority
and after a conservation with Terri
Clark I was invited to express my
views at their meeting on Thurs.
evening Oct. 14. There was much
sympathy expressed but no solution
except for me to pick up the refuse
and haul it to the dump at Green
Sulphur with no dump fee!
My question to our countv -,-
commission not to sit by and allow
Summers County to be a junkpile.
For every problem there is a solution
if you search for it. I ask the commis-
sion to begin searching!
Lets stop the dumping so we can
be proud of our beautiful county.
Yours truly

Deaths
Betab'I6d[cr medicidds rduce
the effect of adrenalin on the ner,
vous system, blood vessels, and
heart. Reducing adrenalin's effect
on the heart is useful in managing
conditions such as high blood
pressure, abnormal heart rhythms
(arrhythmias) and angina (chest
pain from narrowing of blood ves-
sels in the heart). In addition, re-
searchers have discovered in sev-
eral studies that beta blockermedi-
cines are helpful in preventing
death in persons who have survived
one or more heart attacks. One report
indicates that 10 to 30% of heart
attack victims who receive beta
blockers experience a reduction in
death from future heart attacks.
According to a recent report in
Annals oflnternal Medicine, more
than 18,000 heart attack survivors
given beta blocker medicines such
as propranalol, metoprolol, and
timolothave been studied. Medi-
cine was started 5 to 21 days after
the attack. Studies vary as to the
length of time beta blockers were
given. The American Hospital
Formulary indicates that up to 39
months of therapy reduced deaths
related to heart disease and arterio-
sclerosis. The article in Annals of
Internal Medicine reports that
maximum protection is provided
during the first 12 months of thera-
py. Only victims with the greatest
risk of death from another heart
attack benefited beyond 12months.
