Moorefield Stingers Hold Benefit Baseball

During Patriot Day, when America remembered the sacrifices made on our soil, the Moorefield Stingers welcomed area special needs students to play on the diamond in the 2nd Annual Karen Whetzel Memorial Baseball Game for Individuals with Special Needs. Money raised from this game goes to the Karen Whetzel Scholarship at MHS. As America turns a page in history, these kids learned more about valor, fidelity, and sacrifice in helping others through a game which forms friendships. The participants this year included Ethan Knotts, Isaac Van Meter, Skylar Alt, Hayden Baldwin, Matthew Jenkins, Jayden See, Ty Clayton, Jack Charlton, Robert Kean, Curtis Moran, Bobby Davis, Brent Moran, Jamie Davis, Kennan Mongold, Mark Wratchford, Logan Arnold, Grace Wratchford, Lane Ours, Addison Barb, Ryan McGregor, and Bryce Hines. This memorial game is played in honor of Karen Whetzel who was the most devoted fan and one who never missed a practice. “We do this for the kids so they can have the experience our kids are blessed to have. This also teaches our kids to be thankful for the opportunities they have and not to take them for granted. It is great to see the excitement on these kids’ faces as they hit the ball or make a play. This memorial game is where everyone is a winner and everyone has fun. We are glad to make this part of our community,” Moorefield Stingers Public Relations Director Sheena Van Meter commented.

The WV Senior League Softball State Champions from Moorefield Little League would like to shout a big THANK YOU to all that contributed to assist with travel costs to participate in the Little League Southeast Region Tournament in Fort Myers, Florida. We are grateful to all, whether your contribution was big or small, whether you are a big business, a small business, or simply a supporting individual.

The community support that we received was absolutely amazing, and we were reminded how blessed we are to live in such a caring and giving community. Your support of our community youth, once again, was awesome!

We are very proud to have represented, and represented well, not only the state of WV, but our wonderful little town!

RESA Conference Draws Attendance From Area School Administrators

“A recent YouTube video asked viewers to share thoughts about leading through learning,” said Bryan Cooley, RESA 8 Program Development Coordinator. “It was interesting to note that many re- sponses to the video focused on how great leadership occurs with continuous efforts to keep learn- ing.” To this end, over 150 administra- tors, which included principals, su- pervisors, and superintendents, demonstrated that learning never stops by attending the RESA 8 An- nual Conference for School Admin- istrators that was recently held at the Martinsburg Holiday Inn Con- ference Center. Participating in the conference from Hardy County were Wade Ar- mentrout, Donna Bodkins, Rebec- ca Brill, Suzanne Goodall, Kathy Hardy, Patrick McGregor, Bonnie Rogers, Jody Shewbridge, Brad Simmons, Jennifer Strawderman and Barbara Whitecotton. In keeping with current issues, RESA 8 selected Dr. Barbara Blackburn, to provide the keynote address on “Rigorous Schools and Classroom: Leading the Way.” Blackburn emphasized how in- creasing the level of rigor within schools can create environments in Barbara Blackburn and Bryan Cooley at the RESA 8 Conference for which students are expected, are to School Administrators. be supported, and can demonstrate learning at high levels. the application of technology in the ministrators.

Fitzwater Felt ‘Obligation’ To Restore Old House 2011 Tile House Story and Photos By Jean A. Flanagan Moorefield Examiner

Harry Fitzwater grew up outside Moorefield, spent some time in the Army and learned plumb- ing in California. When he moved back to Moore- field in 1973, he needed a big house. “I had a wife and seven kids,” he said. The Cunningham House, located just south of town, fit the bill. It had 12 rooms and a full base- ment. Built in the 1840s, Cunningham House - West- fall Place was originally the farmhouse for a 900- acre farm. It was built by Garrett Cunningham and is located on US Route 220, south of Moorefield. Fitzwater said during the Civil War, Union sol- diers came to Cunningham House looking for food and valuables. When they didn’t find any, they left, but not before taking pot-shots at the house. “One of the shots hit a window,” Fitzwater said. “I still have that window.” The house faces away from the road because the road was rerouted in the 1920s. While the house had the space the Fitzwater family needed, it sure didn’t have too many ameni- ties. The house had been divided into an upstairs and downstairs apartment, although the upstairs apartment had been vacant for a number of years. “There was no heat upstairs,” Harry said. “There was a pot-belly stove downstairs and every room had a fireplace, but most of them didn’t work. At one point I had three fireplaces going downstairs. It was 15-degrees outside and 45-de- grees inside.” There was one bathroom, which had been in- stalled in 1945. “Growing up, there were nine of us in this house and we only had one bathroom,” recalled Harry’s daughter, Vicki Fertig. “You know that Harry Fitzwater has meticulously restored Westfall Place - Continued on page 2 Cunningham House to its former grandure.
