Hershel Facemyre
Chances are good that tucked away in boxes under or in attics in Nitro are
Troves of old photos depicting life in the town since its found¬ing in 1918 or even earlier.
At least that's what the Nitro Museum Association is bank¬ on.
NMA, President Hershel Facemyre is asking community residents to search through their old photos of Nitro in the hope that they might find ones of historical interest.
Selected photographs would be put on display in the Nitro Museum and possibly later be included in a pictorial history book.
“We're actively seeking to collect historical photos of Nitro," Facemyre said.
The museum already has photographs of the town's ,World War I-era explosives plants. The town was built to 'Supply explosives for WWl.
The association is hoping that longtime Nitro residents have collections of snapshots of days gone by in Nitro.
“We're trying to collect more community-type" photos, he said.
These could be photos of various community functions, such as school events, holiday activities, street fairs, unique celebrations and events. Pho¬tos related to the town's chem¬ical industries over the years are also needed.
Facemyre, a Nitro native, said there were two ferry boat operations in Nitro before the Nitro-St. Albans bridge was constructed; one was called Lee's Ferry.
"We would love to have pho¬tos of that," he said.
Nitro also has some "lost cemeteries, with some Civil War burials." Photos of those old cemeteries would also be welcome.
Facemyre would also like photos of Ridenour Lake and dam being built. That project was a flood control measure, he said.
Knowing that the original photos are important to the owners, the pictures would be scanned and then' returned to them. The museum association is exploring the best technology to use for the scanning, Facemyre said.
If enough photos can be col¬lected, the museum associa¬tion is "looking at the possibility of a pictorial history of Nitro" in book form, he said.

Summersville Lake getting state's only lighthouse
Gary Facemire, a student in Joe Hypes' welding class at the Nicholas County Career and Technical Center, grinds a step that will be part of a 120-piece spiral staircase within the lighthouse.
by Amber Marra
Reported in the Daily Mail
MT. NEBO, W.Va. - As the guy trying to build a lighthouse on Summersville Lake, Steve Keblesh is used to getting some strange looks.
The huge white tube lying on his 60-acre campground hasn't helped.
"When we first said that we wanted to build a lighthouse, people in the construction and contracting community looked at us like we were nuts," Keblesh said.
That's not the case anymore. Keblesh, 52, and his wife, Donna, 51, have worked with students at the Nicholas County Career and Technical Center and the Fayette Institute of Technology to design the lighthouse. Engineering professionals have been overseeing the work of their younger counterparts.
How Keblesh obtained the huge white tube that will act as the body of his lighthouse resulted from a stroke of bad luck for the folks at Invenergy who were building a wind farm on Beech Ridge in Greenbrier County last year.
One night in 2009, a sudden torrential rainfall undermined the foundation of one of Invenergy's industrial wind turbines. That sent the 72,000-pound tube rolling down a hill at top speed, leveling trees and causing several dents in its steel body, rendering it unusable as a windmill.
Enter Rick Butler, one of the workers who traveled from Canada to build the Beech Ridge wind farm. He was staying at the Kebleshes' Summersville Lake retreat while he worked on the windmills.
Keblesh was surprised one day when Butler came to him and said his company was trying to get rid of the damaged body of a windmill.
Suddenly building a beacon at the edge of Summersville Lake didn't seem like such a far-fetched idea.
But why build a lighthouse in Nicholas County? Keblesh has been asked this many times and has a simple answer.
"Well, we just keep getting so many commercial ocean liners bumping into us," he says with a laugh.
Keblesh actually thinks the lighthouse could bring more tourism to his area in the form of "soft adventuring," or recreational activities that older folks or children can take part in.
"With that thought in mind, what could be better than climbing a lighthouse?" he said.
After hearing the 100-foot tube was up for grabs, Keblesh set to work at making sure it didn't get sent to Pittsburgh to be melted down as scrap metal.
The tube sold at 32 cents per pound. At 72,000 pounds, it wasn't a cheap purchase. The price came to a little more than $23,000.
Keblesh can't yet estimate the total cost of his project but figures it will hit six figures.
A big part of the cost was incurred in transporting the tube from Greenbrier to Nicholas County.
When the time came to move it and all the wide-load and pilot car permits had been filed with the state Department of Transportation, Keblesh ran into a snag at the New River Gorge Bridge. Traffic had been reduced to one lane because of construction.
An alternative route had to be taken to avoid the bridge, meaning the tube traveled more than 100 miles to Charleston, then Flatwoods and back down to Summersville via U.S. 19.
"At that point we looked at our budget and realized it was shot to heck anyways," he said.
On a sunny day in June 2010, the Kebleshes watched as a truck toting their newly acquired lighthouse body-to-be backed into its temporary resting place at the campground.

The museum has outgrown the space there and has a goal of eventually moving into a larger facility somewhere in town.
"We're in the early stages of developing plans for a new museum. If we go to a new facility, there will be an audio¬visual section," he said.
The museum also has a project in mind to record and film interviews with veterans of World War II.
Facemyre said he would gladly examine photographs that are brought to his attention and pick ones that would be of interest to the museum.
"I'll go through the boxes. It's very important to us to have these' things protected and available," he said.
The Nitro Museum has a wide variety of artifacts on dis¬play, many related to WWII. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Fridays and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

High school boys basketball: Brayden Facemyer's triple-double leads Liahona
Published: Saturday, Jan. 22, 2011 12:15 a.m. MST
By Kevin Long, For the Deseret News
EUREKA, UT — Brayden Facemyer recorded the second triple-double in school history with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists to lead the Liahona Warriors to a 88-45 victory over Tintic in prep basketball action Friday night.
“Brayden is developing into an unstoppable team player,” Liahona coach Jeremy Long said.
Teammates Brandon Nichols (16 points, 10 rebounds) and Helaman Neyra (13, 10) each finished with double-doubles, while Matt Comer came off the bench to score 14 points. Jordan Salazar led Tintic with 12 points.
Tintic ran a “triangle-and-two" defense for most of the night, but Liahona countered by inserting Comer into the lineup. Because of the constant double-teaming of Nichols and Facemyer, Comer was left open behind the arc and he drilled four three-pointers on the night.
In all 11 Liahona players scored at least two points.
Many of the Liahona rebounds came in the second period when its tenacious defense kept the Miners from scoring a field goal to lead 48-21 at the half. Although it didn't score a field goal in the second period, Tintic went 8 of 9 from the free-throw line in the period.
In addition to his triple-double, Facemyer had four blocks.

HOPEWELL TWP. — The township committee welcomed, for a second time, Republican Greg Facemyer into office for his three-year term.
The incumbent rejoined fellow Republicans Bruce Hankins, Paul Ritter, Joseph Shoemaker and Robin Freitag on Wednesday night.
His victory maintained the all-Republican committee, though challenged by a Democrat in November.
Facemyer was sworn in by Cumberland County Clerk Gloria Noto, who administered the oath of office.
Alongside Facemyer was wife, Bonnie.
Noto gave Facemyer her best wishes with the coming year and term.
He thanked all in attendance; including wife, parents, township staff and colleagues.
Among colleagues were committee members.
“We don’t always agree on everything,” he said, “but we can come out and still be able to be friends and do the right thing in our hearts.”
The coming year promises to bring development, both physical and economic, to Hopewell.
“We’ve got a lot on our plates this year,” said Facemyer.
The township will soon embark on drafting its liquor license, which was approved in November.

Phil Kabler: Lawmakers dine on lobbyists' dime
By Phil Kabler
Advertiser
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Legislators haven't done as much traveling to out-of-town conferences this year as in the past, but when they did travel, the state's top-shelf lobbyists were sure to follow, according to financial disclosures filed with the Ethics Commission.
The big event this summer was the 64th annual meeting of Southern Legislative Conference at the Charleston Place Hotel in the "other" Charleston.
On Aug. 1, lobbyists Patti Hamilton, John Ruddick, Bill Carper, Nelson Robinson, Rob Casto, Larry Swann, Chris Marr, Pat McCune, Hallie Mason, Alison Patient and Heather Dinsmore kicked in a total of $6,959 to host a Aug. 1 West Virginia night dinner at the Cypress restaurant.
Attendees included House Speaker Rick Thompson, Delegates Bobbi Hatfield, Charlene Marshall, Tim Ennis, Bonnie Brown, Jack Yost, Danny Wells, Dave Pethel, Richard Iaquinta, Bob Beach, Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin, Sens. Roman Prezioso, Richard Browning, Doug Facemire, Karen Facemyer, Ed Bowman, and Jeff Kessler.
(Most legislators attended the dinner with their spouses, according to the disclosure.)
The previous day, Robinson took Bowman, Facemire, Facemyer, Tomblin, Thompson, and their spouses, and Browning and Kessler, to dinner at the Charleston Plaza, at a cost of $857.64.
Robinson had the highest total spending of any lobbyist during the May-August reporting period, at $7,374.
That's because, as lobbyist for Mountaineer Racetrack and Casino, he reported the expenses for the racetrack/casino's VIP reception for the West Virginia Derby race Aug. 7. The cost of the reception totaled $11,478, including $5,452 (or $94 each) for the 58 public officials in attendance, including members of the state Lottery and Racing commissions.
Attendees included 10 senators, with Judiciary Chairman Kessler being the ranking member, and nine delegates, headed by Finance Chairman Harry Keith White, D-Mingo.
Charles Town Races lobbyist Larry Puccio reported spending a total of $728.23 during the period, including $206.97 for dinner for Chairman White and his wife, with the remaining $521.26 spent for "sticky note pads" distributed to all members of the Legislature.
Also, Bill Raney of the West Virginia Coal Association reported hosting a "number of legislative members" for the association's annual meeting Aug. 5-7 at The Greenbrier, but said he could not yet report expenses, since the association had not received an invoice by the deadline for filing the Ethics disclosure.

The Pacers’ lone goal came from Nate Spahr, who fired a pass from Phoenix Neitzelt just past the reach of BW keeper A.J. Fleak.
Fleak finished with six saves for Big Walnut while Jeff Mengerink had two for Hayes.

SNYDER TO AWARD DEDICATED BAND MEMBERS WITH RINGS AT THE PEP RALLY
Zina Facemire
LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins will honor more than thirty veteran Redskin Marching Band members with 20-62 years of commitment, providing them rings to honor their dedication. The rings read each band member’s name, “Honor, Strength, Tradition,” and the number of years each has performed with the first ever NFL marching band.
For more than 70 years, this Washington Redskins Marching Band has led sell-out crowds in the team fight song, "Hail to the Redskins!" They are one of only two pro football marching bands in existence today.
The all-volunteer ensemble formed in 1937 when George Preston Marshall brought the Redskins to Washington, D.C., with the goal of entertaining fans from the moment they walked into the stadium until the time they left to go home.
"Hail to the Redskins" made its debut on Aug. 17, 1938 as the official fight song of the Washington Redskins. The song was written by renowned band leader Barnee Breeskin and the lyrics were written by Hollywood movie star Corinne Griffith, the wife of team founder and owner George Preston Marshall.
The marching band will be performing at the pep rally and send-off party Saturday, September 11, 2010 as well as throughout Sunday afternoon in the tailgating areas of the parking lot at FedExField. Come support your band and honor the men and women who have volunteered for many years.
Band Members with 20 plus years -
Edward Greene, Garry Walker, Harry Horning, Darryl Scott, Greg Rodgers, Lee Culbreth, Howard Lessey, Zina Facemire, Kenneth Fry, Cheryl Casnoff, Eric Summers, Tony Cardenas, Harold Rhoads and Tom Otis

Matthew Facemire announces his candidacy for Braxton, County Circuit Clerk office, Braxton County, WV.
I grew up knowing how important elections are, how lucky I am to live in a country where I am free to cast my vote however I chose, and how grateful I am to the men and women fighting to protect that right. My name is Matthew “Matt” Facemire, and this election will be especially important to me as I am running for Braxton County Circuit Clerk.
To quote author Leo Buscaglia, “Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God,” and as a Christian I believe this whole heartedly. I can think of no better way to use my talents than to help the people of Braxton County, my home. Service to others has been a fundamental aspect of my upbringing; for decades, my father and grandfather, uncles and great uncles have worked hard to literally build our community through Facemire Brothers Construction, and Facemire Foods, Inc.
Motivated to work hard for my own success and that of others, I worked for my family’s business throughout my teenage years and early twenties and earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting from Glenville State College in 2008 where I was treasurer, for "Students In Free Enterprise" along with being a member of the Young Democrats. Following graduation I was hired by Arnett & Foster, the largest Certified Public Accounting and Consulting firm in West Virginia. As an accountant, I work with companies of all sizes to improve their financial successes while conserving their assets; skills that are essential for any potential public official.
I am a member of the Sutton Baptist Church, where I serve on the finance committee, and a member of the West Virginia Democratic Party. I am the son of Jeff and Diana (Drake) Facemire of Sutton, and the grandson of Eldred and Doris Drake of Flatwoods, and the late Eugene and Barbara Facemire, formerly of Sutton. I was recently married in December 2009, and my wife Michelle (Shaver) and [step]son Jadyn and I reside in Sutton. I hope I have conveyed to you how hard I, Matt Facemire will work for you as Braxton County Circuit Clerk, how eager I am to do the job, and how grateful I am for your votes, support, and prayers.
Facemires, Celebrate their 50th Golden Wedding Anniversary.

The gathering will be in the afternoon of Wednesday, 17 March 2010, from 1Pm to 4PM, at 209 Big Oak Road, South Charleston, WV.

First Class with over 23 years of service. He also retired from Charleston Area Medical Center with 30 years of service. Don and Deanna do family research for all the Facemire’s and have a web site at www.facemires.com. Don is the son of Edna Waneda Facemire and the late Glen Facemire of Richwood, WV. Deanna is a faithful homemaker and the proud mother of their three children. She is the daughter of the late Donald and Eurlace Gillespie of Curtin, WV.

"News Special"
West Virginia Gets a New Area Code–Start Dialing 10-digit Local Calls
By: States: West Virginia | Source: AARP.org |
To ensure a continuing supply of telephone numbers, the 681 area code will be added to the same geographic area served by the 304 area code, which is the entire state of West Virginia.
Get ready to change the way you dial your local calls.
Local Dialing Procedure Change
The new dialing procedure for local calls requires callers to dial the area code and the seven digit telephone number. This means that all local calls from the 304 area code that are currently dialed with seven digits will need to be dialed using ten digits (the area code and the seven digit telephone number). The dialing procedure for long distance or operator assisted calls will not change.
Beginning July 26, 2008, you should begin using the new 10-digit dialing procedure for local calls.
Effective February 28, 2009, you must begin using the new local dialing procedure or your call will not be completed.
As early as March 28, 2009, new telephone lines or services may be assigned with the new 681 area code.
If you have pre-programmed speed dial lists using seven digits in your phones, these will need to be updated with 10-digit numbers.
What Will Remain the Same?
• Your telephone number, including current area code, will not change
• Your local calls are still local calls, even though they must be dialed using ten digits
• You can still dial three digits to reach 911 and 411

I am Crystal E. Facemyer, one of Dallas E. Facemyer many surviving grandchildren. My grandfather was from Char. WV. He served in the US Navy during WW2. He had a wife, and son his name is Dallas J. Facemyer. Dallas E. Facmeyer moved to Detroit, MI many years ago. Was married again, to a Theresa Schlitz, and had two children Mark A. Facemyer and Linda Facemyer. Dallas E. Facemyer died in 1998, he is still the light in my life. Mark A. Facemyer has 3 Facemyer children and a step-daughter. Me being the oldest of his children (25 years old), a son named Brian M. Facemyer being 23 years old, Jennifer M. Facemyer being 19 years old, and his step-daughter Brandi L. Locklear being 21 years old. I don't know much about my family history. I myself have been the only one to have my own children out of my father's kids. I have 3 beautiful boys. I moved from Michigan when I was 19 years old, and moved to PA. In 2003-2004 I started my search for my grandfather's side of the family.Finding that he still has 2-3 living brothers. I even made contact with my late uncle Clarence's wife Mary & their son (Terry Facemyer). A Uncle in FL (Clifford Facemyer), and an Uncle in Maine (Norman Facemyer). My search ended with one missing person still and that is my Uncle Dallas J. Facemyer, whom I've never met and the last time my dad ever seen him I was just a newborn basically. But, he never met me. In Feb. 2006, I moved to East Flat Rock, NC. I have begun my search again for my Uncle Dallas. I'm at a dead end. I have recently found out that he has kids of his own, his youngest being only 2 years older than me, Dallas J. Facemyer Jr. I feel like I'm at a dead end. I hope to one day make it up to WV to do some hands on research and find out more about my family and to hopefully one day find my Uncle and/or his children.
