Once you have seen the Darkness of GILMER COUNTY you will be forever changed.
Once you have been touched by the BLACKNESS of the “VILLE” you will never be the same!
Just ask Fred Hill!
The DARKNESS comes for you!
But out of the Darkness also comes the GHOST WOLF so that you don’t ever have to be afraid!
The GHOST WOLF of Crooked County lives for the Bounty of the sweet smelling elite!
"The Dark Woods of Crooked County holds Secrets!" All the while the Ghost Wolf watches from high atop the mountains overlooking the town below. When the moon is full if you look closely you may observe a black shadow stalking his prey while making his way down the hills, but if his eyes should be red, you surely better run instead!
From the blackness the BEAST that has lived to fight another day, is always watching, always waiting for the ones that think they have it made …and that all the EVIL is Just OK!
The menace of the awful elite may soon have to pay!
The destiny of the wicked brought the return of the Ghost Wolf to the Darkness of Crooked County and to the blackness of the “Ville,” the name everyone knew was really in the city of River View!
The Black Wolf, the Ghost Wolf was truly king of his realm. The dark beast that was always watching Lisianna was only a shadow to others. Was the mysterious creature merely a shadow or maybe only a ghost?
“…The word spread like wildfire all throughout the VILLE and up the hollers and even up on the hill! Throughout the whole of Crooked County people walked in fear and searched the most secreted parts of their minds for any ill doing that could have been perceived as an act of betrayal to the Ghost Wolf. Doors were barred and locked especially by the sinister evil that owned the town and kept the people of the county as slaves to the Church of the Poison mind and the second generation of IKE the father of the demi-gods that hid from the darkness that stalked the land and the elite of the ville!”
Even the dead waited with dread for the Return of the Ghost Wolf for it certainly would be painful to die that way again, ripped, torn and shred with the vengeful jabs from the white fangs of blackness. It was said the creature was searching for Lucifer himself after killing with delight the Lemegeton the favorite agent of the Devil!
From out of the Darkness the Ghost Wolf came just when the blackness set upon the sleepy little Ville. The first victim was the daughter of a town official and a lawyer and she was just 24 years old. The next night saw the bloody attack of the magistrate and another young girl. Before that horrid month was out a college student, a young boy of 19 and a student teacher that was just 27 were both brutally slain – and in each case the victims’ heart was eaten!

When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness. The long term goal of the powerful in Gilmer County has always been to smooth over their own misdeeds as though it were all a lovely dream. Don’t worry, they’ve got your back, they have a handle on the situation. Sleep peacefully, do as they say, all is well. They are making the decisions for you and their bank account is fat. Do not forget that coal, timber, oil and gas have long influenced the social economic and political characteristics of this region. Do not forget who is in control and has been as far back as memory allows. Why would you want to change that? Things are easier this way. Easier for them!
Employment growth and economic growth are stifled in Gilmer County, West Virginia by election fraud and the mafia like existence of the Gilmer Elite!
Taking in the fragrance of the pines, Lisianna also heard the shallow running creek that ran near the tower. She listened closer; as it was faint at first…then she felt it, cautiously, slowly, carefully, gently…Lisianna opened her eyes out of instinct. There it was! The Wolf! The Black Wolf that always watched over her…standing only a few feet away! The Wolf looked at her with eyes of peacefulness, that communicated, “I’ll bring you comfort,” then glanced away at something heard in the forest. Lisianna gazed into the dark woods like it was a dream, searching the part of the forest where the Wolf had sensed intrusion…then turned to face the Wolf again, but the graceful and handsome Black Wolf was gone!
A ruling class of elite have taken control of the Gilmer County Schools and the local job market. County and state jobs are ruled by nepotism in Gilmer County. Several good examples of nepotism are within the pages of this website, but the latest infraction was when Gilmer County Commission clerk hired her own 15 year old unqualified daughter as an assistant. Cronyism is also prevalent in Gilmer County and very much alive and well!
“A common theme among states with high levels of economic freedom is a commitment to low taxes, small government, and flexible labor markets. These conditions stimulate job creation and greater opportunities for economic growth.”
Because of these conditions, Gilmer County has seen little or no economic growth and now with the school system failure and the problems brought on by cronyism and nepotism, many people would rather live and grow up in an area with better schools and a much improved school system, but what we have here in Glenville is a failure to communicate because of the totalitarian rule that exists. That is why we have Blankenship as the superintendent of Gilmer County Schools, which is a situation forced onto us by the state, just the same as if we were communists living in a third world country! Truly the situation that exists is no different.
It is indeed time to wake up Gilmer County, but don’t open your eyes too quickly for the shock of a local government corrupt from top to bottom, the crumbling infrastructure and gross inadequacy within our schools and educational systems, long-term poverty, out-migration and lack of health care may be too much for a trusting soul to bear. Gilmer County is failing and fading while those who trusted the elected and paid for leadership are now being blamed by them for lack of action. These power elite leaders blame the very people who have questioned them about their own actions or lack thereof over and over! We have received no response from the elite.
"The Dark Woods of Crooked County holds Secrets!" The Secret of RAPE the secret of MURDER and the secret of FOUL PLAY!
As Mayor of Richwood, countless accusations were made against Bob Henry Baber for deceiving the public and city council, mishandling funds, fraudulent grant writing and many other charges that are still under investigation and he became the perfect candidate for a job at GSC with that kind of a background. He really fit in!
His troubles and the negative controversy that surrounds Baber seem to never end!
Bob Henry joined and invited the “Hippy” group “The Rainbow Group” and invited them to come to Richwood for one of their annual meetings, they tore up the town for a solid week, buying and selling drugs and hitting up the free food and clothing pantries that was meant to serve the homeless and less fortunate.
But BOB HENRY was not only getting a little bobber from the hippy chicks in the Rainbow group, but became good buddies with Joann Rutherford at GSC where he works as the person that brings in donations for the college — and when he got to meet the daughter of Joann, he was surprised to find out that it was the same girl his son was dating. Of course a lot of other SONS OF GILMER COUNTY CITIZENS were also dating Sarah Rutherford. Sarah started to have sexual relations with Bob Henry Baber the man from GSC that ran for governor of West Virginia, but she said mostly it was because “Bob had such good weed that she felt the need to kick it with the old dude!”
Before long, IKE was hooking Sarah up with the good shit at WVU and was going to get her into the school of pharmacy since she already had a likeness for pills and such. In fact she gave her students some Klonopin and some booze and some good weed and some darn good sex at the High School she taught at in Barbour County!
Yeah, pretty soon thanks to the good folk at Glenville State College, Sarah Rutherford was fucking and sucking the high school boys and passing along the Darkness of Gilmer County and the Blackness of the Ville to some good folk just down the road a piece.
The HIPPY TEACHINGS of BOB HENRY BABER included some "Kick ASS SEX" with the daughter of Joann Rutherford long time secretary at GSC who was also his sons' girlfriend, Sarah Rutherford who was indicted for sexual misconduct with 2 male students at a Barbour County high school where she was teaching.
It may be too late to save Sarah Rutherford former resident of the VILLE, since she was indicted for sexual misconduct with underage teenage high school students last Monday October 24th and was arraigned this past Wednesday the 26th of October but …
Is it too late to save this county before it becomes a nameless blob on the map included in some type of consolidation so the politicians can get more federal monies based on total population — Is it too late to save this Crooked County from the embarrassment of an illiterate dumb as fuck Sheriff like Mickey Metz and a dishonest prosecutor that Gerry Hough has proved to be?
Don’t know, lets hope not, but it is a cruel irony that our leaders have called building the federal prison a”Major economic development,” while the investors of the new hotel located right next door utilized state funds and now want to downgrade the facility to a local inn while the drugs and sex and rape and debauchery carry on with no consequence to any other but the victims and the tax paying citizens of Gilmer County
A typical local “Power Elite” just having a little fun at our expense while engaging in a typical everyday Crooked County day full of nepotism, which often leads to pressure through the family somehow or then there is, the holding of a carrot out in some type of bribery–And soon there could be embezzlement, extortion or graft, or even another real estate scandal like we just witnessed with our own eyes, while the “Powers that Be” never stopped denying the real facts.
Deny deny deny! “Oh it is all just a lie!” Not this time Crooked County!!
You done got CAUGHT a being Crooked down by the Crooked River!!
Y’all know how to deliver down by the Crooked River!!
Now we have truly seen for ourselves how they are!!
Get a clue, it was all GRAFT and CORRUPTION that was behind River View!
Any other place if public officials engage in this sort of activity they would be guilty of abuse of public trust at a minimum, and may often be charged with a crime!
But not in Crooked County!
You have to find it almost laughable when a small business development center houses Frame’s oil business that was already well established, occupying other Main Street office space and buying land from GCEDA while a satellite of Aramark, the existing food provider to Glenville State College sits there doing business as a café. This is hardly growth, just status quo. Is this the best use of business seed money, free office space and equipment? There is nothing new here as the old and established reap the pay day one more time.
Now is the time for the honest, caring citizens of Gilmer County to walk out of that evil darkness before it is all encompassing and past the point of no return. Take a good look at it all, past and present, in the honest light of day and not that twisted twilight zone the leaders speak from.
‘Can’t anyone hear the people of Gilmer County knockin’ for someone to open the door to demand the honesty and transparency which have been promised so many times and then listen, remember and act.
It may not be pretty, it may not be easy, but it is the only way out of …the Darkness of GILMER COUNTY!
Revenge of the Ghost Wolf 
We heard it told that Cassandra Huff is upset that Corky isn’t going to give her some money for firing her ass as the most stoned out print news-editor south of the Mason Dixon line. Cassandra Huff has promised a couple of locals to fill us in on the sexual habits of the publisher of the Democrap and some other hidden darkness that she says she can share in exchange for not floating her down the crooked river for her sins against the people of central WV.

Always questions. Never answers.
These facts have been established by local media:
Deputy Jones has been involved in horseplay while on the taxpayer dole..
Deputy Jones has been suspended. Deputy Jones has been properly trained on use of tazer according to Metz.
Sheriff Metz, prosecuting attorney Hough, and the County Commission are all in full knowledge of Jones actions.
You would think that Sheriffs department would have a zero tolerance policy for horseplay?
If so, was it followed as “was in print”?
If there is no zero tolerance for horseplay while on the job, why not?
Even if the Sheriff’s department does not have a zero tolerance horseplay policy, surely the County Commissioners do?
And Deputy Jones would fall under that as well as he is a county employee?
The fact that Mr. Hess has been quoted that he/they are satisified with Sheriff Metz response, has absolutely no
bearing on the outcome of this situation. That is their personal choice. The facts are that the Hess’s have a super strong
case to file a lawsuit against the Deputy, Sheriff, and the County. Easy win. Whatever Mrs. Hess actions were, nothing there gives
any validation to Deputy Jones actions.
If Deputy Jones is/was actually on suspension. Was he able to collect paid vacation of sick time during that absence?
If Jones is suspended, why was the County owned Cruiser parked along side of home on 27 October,‘11?
If Deputy Jones is not charged, then it is assumed that Sheriff Metz and Attorney Hough, and the County Commissioners are all in agreement that this not a case of assult. I believe that you will find several cases where individuals have been prosecuted for assault with a tazer. If a tazer is not a deadly weapon, why is training given?
I will venture that if any citizen of the community(other than the protected elites) used a tazer on someone, they would be eating their meals in the Flatwoods regional jail. This is looking like nothing more than a case of “selective prosecution” or the lack thereof.
We all have read the stories where kindergarten and first graders are handcuffed in school for having nail clippers.
Sheriff Metz, Lawyer Hough, County Commissioners, we are awaiting your believable explanation as to why Deputy Jones is still on the Gilmer County payroll.

Karen Pennybaker and everyone. Based on the Jorea Marple, chief Butcher of the Charleston BOE, and her friends in the Butcher-Butchers’ clan, overthrowers of our school district, their actions to date unfortunately show us they will just do as they very well please.
There are probably fewer than a dozen in Gilmer County that have any voice anyways. Just those narcissistic, self centered, can’t see themselves in the mirror elitists. And we all know who they are.
Neither can you count your elected board of education in that dozen. (Have you heard anything from them yet?) This is a perfect example of the woes of Gilmer County. Not enough of the community will get off their butts and try to do anything about it.
The community is lazy, complacent, and the power elites know it. Save your energy. Give up trying. There is no one who will help you.
Now if you were to bake cookies, for say, a cancer drive, you would get plenty help. Fixing the community does not give anyone that feel good feeling————that it should.
Your comments are good, but fall on deaf ears.

I heard it told from R Terry and friends that there has been some rumor that it was a Lisa M and a Lisa B causing all the trouble and the heat was coming from within and that Cassandra Huff has turned out to be worse of a turn coat than Lisa Minney for the Elite that meet discreet but not on the street … in the upstairs office of Dave (Corky) Corcoran. Well hell Lisa B took a B line straight south and is drinking rum and Glenville crazy Gary Collins never did get some, but he wanted to, but now he just blames it all on the GFP and says that truly no outside forces from the Secret Seven are responsible at all for writing articles on the Revenge of the Ghost Wolf and that it is all kin from within, like Minney who he says never left the SS but always stayed and now they are afraid to hear the truth again. It is quite a spin, but Gary Collins just goes on and on about Cassandra Huff and how she was fired from her job and now has it rough all because she believed in Gerry Hough. Collins tells us all about how Corky Corcoran told Cassandra Huff to suck his dick that there would be no pay from unemployment just a big stick so how about a lick and that would do the trick, but she wouldn’t a be a writin no mo for the Glenville Democrap and Pathfinder of Bullshit.
After reviewing several articles that contain facts about Gerry Hough the Gilmer County Prosecutor and detailed accounts of misconduct involving Sheriff Metz in regard to the Fred Hill investigation, it is evident that both of these public officials have become a detriment to the community of Gilmer County, West Virginia. It has become increasingly evident that the best solution is to take steps to have Gerry HOUGH and Micky METZ both removed from office before their term is up. This keeps Hough from manipulating the election process and running unopposed again, and hopefully the community will be rid of TWO completely good for nothing public officials that have put us all in jeopardy.
Both of these “Do Nothings,” have been involved in cover ups and illegal actions. We have all had quite enough of Gerry Hough who actually pays people to commit perjury on the stand in high profile court cases. We have all seen and heard the evidence for ourselves involving Metz and Hough and their involvement in covering up evidence needed in high level Supreme Court cases. All like minded people should ban together in this endeavor. More than enough evidence exists to support this action. Truly what these public officials have done is criminal and immediate action should be taken against both of them.
To anyone who keeps telling people to just shut up and accept the current conditions in Gilmer County since it’s all their own fault anyway, I have two words. SHUT UP!
Your efforts to blame the citizens of this county for the shape it is in falls on deaf ears. Oh, there was a time that would have worked, back in the day. No more.
Certain power mongers have selected the trustees of local government to appoint oversight, manage growth and keep abreast of potential problems and needs of this county in return for money, health benefits for their families plus retirement and, apparently, every legal or illegal perk they can manipulate to their advantage without question or complaint far too long.
How did that turn out for us? They have filled their pockets, expanded their real estate port folios and seen to it that their friends and families have jobs irrespective of ability or experience. They have permitted every actionable want of the powerful without advising the public and given no answers, voluntarily, to any question of policy or procedure. That is the reality and it is vane, self serving, bottom feeders like the elite who have suppressed public information, cooperation and action for years using their attitude and influence to put out the message of “It can’t be done” or “They know what’s best”.
It is time to turn the page, buy a new broom, sweep the place clean and air the dirty laundry. You say the people should do something. How about turning out an empowered, informed electorate (not chosen group leaders) to make the decisions about what is left of Gilmer County’s future. May not be able to save it but it is the only thing that can. Let the tax payers decide who really wants a better economic structure for all of us and will create an atmosphere that serves the people, not politicians and their buddies. Let all people talk, complain and use any method available to gain insight and information which makes them think. How about permitting them the same freedom of expression and information gathering that you enjoy.
Dendra Miller, a wanna be news-director and employee of the Glenville Democrat, recently, while secretly talking to members of the SS, (in fact it was so secret she didn’t even know who the hell it was she was a talkin to) revealed some great inside gossip involving Cassandra Huff and some of the behind the scenes reasons for her harsh treatment and firing by Corky Democrap publisher.She even hinted that CASS HUFF ASS MUFF may even have been working with the Secret Seven Coalition and the renegades that run with the CalPatty Press! Bobby Nicholas from Calhoun County also revealed he had sex with CASS HUFF ASS MUFF, a while back in one of the out back houses on the property of his ex GF Dreama from back in the day.Bobby a said that Cassandra was into some weird stuff and talked about animal sex and it kind of freaked him out a bit. Somewhere there was some hogs in the story, but I got it second hand and I am not sure quite how the hog part got in the story, but there is more…

IF the statement that Jones HAD been trained for the taser is TRUE, then there is asolutely NO EXCUSE for his actions and should have been IMMEDIATELY fired!
ANY civilized police force anywhere else in the country would have fired that officer and eliminated the huge potential of that LIABILITY.
I can’t understand how Gilmer County operates as it does. Do you people ever get out in the world and see how the real world operates??

That is absolutely correct, as an officer of the law we worry about any liability while doing what we think is the right thing to do at any given real live situation. What gives you the right to create a liability to people of this county that pay your salary because you want to have FUN!!!

Just wonder if anyone in Gilmer County knows how it works to be under Civil Service? Might not be that easy to just fire someone hired under it! Charges can still be pending. Sheriff Metz did the right thing by turning it over to the State Poice. The Sheriff’s office should never handle cases in there own Court House. Deputy Jones messed up not the Sheriff.

Metz turning the matter over to the State Police is a joke, and sounds a lot like the “Fred Hill” debacle.
The last time the State Police teamed up with Metz was over the missing 1/6th of 155 acres of surface property purposely hidden from the courts.
The State Police actually tried to have that person making the complaint arrested by the FBI to keep the County Commission Clerk from being investigated, but the situation backfired and now the Sheriffs office has refused to take a criminal complaint once again. Someone should tell Sheriff Metz that to cover for a felony is a felony.
Also, Metz has gone to great lengths to cover up that crime.
Nothing ever gets accomplished but them sticking fat stacks of cash in their pocket for protecting friends of the elite or other elected officials or state and county employees.
Metz needs to be removed from office, along with Hough and steps should be taken to see this is done.

Big Question? Why is Officer Jones disliked in our community so much? Is is because he harasses high school students, college students and hard working citizens of this county that pay his salary? Position or authority is entrusted to you to better serve those below and above you, not to abuse it with your idiotic negligence.

G-FYI™: The Other Side of Taser Incident
In an effort to be gain balance we had an interview with Mrs. Hess, victim of the taser incident, and this is what we learned:
On Friday, October 07, 2011, at the Gilmer County Fire Department, Station 1 in Glenville, Mr. Jones approached Mrs. Hess in uniform and informed her there was a lady bug in her hair.
She asked Deputy Jones to remove it. Deputy Jones grabbed a few stands of her hair and pulled it pretending he was getting the lady bug.
Shortly after, it was realized there was no lady bug to begin with indicating that Deputy Jones had begun his “horseplay”.
At a later time, Deputy Jones pulled out his taser gun, and removed the green cartridge (he did not want to use the cartridge because he had stated it cost $40).
Then he used his gun on Mrs. Hess, hitting her in the arm resulting in electrical shock and bruises.
There is photo evidence of the damage.
According to Mrs. Hess, Mr. Jones knew what he was doing when he shot her with the gun.
She stated that Deputy Jones pulled out the cartridge and then used the taser gun which contradicts the story Sheriff Metz has given to the newspaper and press.
Mrs. Hess also indicated that Sheriff Metz contacted her asking her to give a positive report to the press about the incident.
Finally, she said the incident was not an accident as reported, and by taking the cartridge out, Deputy Jones premeditated the shooting and knew what he was doing.

I know what I am writing has been said time and time again in other comments about what is going on in this county.
Corruption, crimes, cover-ups by our County Sheriff’s office of wrong doings, a Deputy Sheriff using a taser gun on a woman during horseplay and Still has his job.
GSC cover ups for rapes, drugs, underage drinking, the Board of Governors which is composed of the “elite” that are involved in all of this, a Prosecutor that does nothing for this county except take its money and lets the criminals go.
Lawyers who laugh at all the dirty work that they are supposed to handle and don’t, so again nothing is done. A bar that has had their liquor license revoked but you can BYOB (bring your own bottle) and the underage can drink, the drugs can be passed, sold and bought, “the women of the night” continue to work.
Even worse, our County Commission does NOTHING to enforce the laws to make them, the law officers, do their jobs that they are paid for. The school system stinks and the ones over it don’t smell a bit better. We can’t even get help thru the news media because they too are involved and controlled.
This once PROUD County has sunk into a giant cesspool because of what the elite powers that have taken over this county are doing to us.
It is true that there are many more good people in this county than the select crooked but money talks louder than words. We see this problem on the County, State and National level.
As far as any new business locating here, new people moving to this county, new jobs, more college students attending GSC, people wanting to remain in this county to work and raise a family here, my question to those people would be WHY, WHY would you want to do that with the shape this once PROUD county is in?
My advice, run away as fast as you can. I see it as an invitation to increase criminal activity as we have absolutely NO ONE that will do the job that the taxpayers of this county has hired them to do, and yet they draw their nice paychecks, vacation time, sick days, pensions/retirements and whatever else they can get and in return, we get the shaft. I think “conscience” for these crooks are non-existent.

You have no worries when you still get paid your vacation and sick hours and still use the county police car to work for Burnsville Dam, Regional Jail, Braxton County Police or the City. Our dollars have paid the bills for this for years along with multiple raises, meals and uniforms plus on call overtime. It is never enough and there is no one working for the Taxpayer. No discipline,just excuses, all for one and every man for himself is the rule of the courthouse.

I’m almost positive that weapons re certification training for all law enforcement department issued weapons is an annual requirement. Taser training date is way over due as I see it. Why didn’t the sheriff and his deputies get shot with one? ohh I know it might kill them. Do as I say not what I do policy in the sheriff’s office. Also why did they they get all the same score on the exam?, WOW.
By anonymous on 10.30.2011
Mr. Jones would have had allot of people backing him through this in the county if he would have tried harder on helping the people than trying to burn them. Mr. Jones should have been at all times community oriented. I would have have backed him 100% if he would have supported us as tax payers and made sound decisions. He chose to treat people that were not family or friends like were trash. My ideal Sheriff is one that gives and helps his community. Why isn’t there a woman deputy? Maybe Mrs. Hess should be a deputy, she has been tasered unlike our local law enforcement. GO for it Mrs. Hess!
Hows it feel to be on the other side of the badge Mr. Jones? Sucks don’t it! You Are Dirty!

Always questions. Nope. Now Just ONE
Its clear now, all parties in the county hierarchy are well aware of, and well informed of their county employee’s reckless, irresponsible actions and have “passed the buck” to the State Police. Conclusion drawn: They didn’t have backbone or stomach for what they new was the proper thing to do. Please don’t patronize us with the ‘civil service’ firing hogwash either. Hess’s may well bring action against the county for which taxpayers will be on the hook to pay. More court house inspired legal actions. Real confidence building by the elected of GC.
The ONE remaining question now:

SEVEN adults getting exactly the same test score.
Coincidence. No. Never. Not likely.
One person doing all the tests. More likely.
As in the military: ‘pencil whipping’. Most likely.

None of the public officials in this county ever want to make a decision to fight any criminal activity in this county. Is it because they have their fingers in the pot of corruption? What about commissioners Hess, Ramsey, and Kennedy? Do you agree with our sheriff as well? Why are you not doing anything about it? Are you going to stand behind the scene and say the famous words of “there is nothing we can do about it”? If there is nothing you can you about this, then what is there that you CAN do?

After reading both sides of the taser incident, I find it very interesting of some of the things said. First of all I think it was an act of plain stupidity for Deputy Jones to have the taser gun out in the presence of several other people in the first place.
This is a dangerous weapon, not a toy to horseplay with. My opinion is “he removed that cartridge knowing full well what he was doing and going to do. This “is a serious premeditated act”.
Thank you Sheriff Metz for sending proof that Deputy Carson was trained in the use of this weapon, but that proof makes him all the more guilty for doing what he did. It also is very disturbing, not to mention just plain STUPID that Sheriff Metz, The Prosecutor, and The County
Commission agreed to an outside law agency being called in to see if any criminal activity had been committed and then turned it over to The State Police.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?? Only in Gilmer County would this happen. A law enforcement not associated with any of the people named or acquainted with any of the power elite of this county should have investigated this, NOT The State Police of Gilmer County. No wonder our county is in such a mess, they have no common sense. So since no one involved in this incident has filed charges, which means it is ok for what he did? The Sheriff should have done his job and fired him. He had witnesses of this incident, she had the red marks and bruises, he admitted to it, what else does he need? I find it interesting that Mrs. Hess said that Sheriff Metz contacted her and told her to give a POSITIVE report to the news media about this.
Hmmmm…. wonder what else he told her? This must be why in the paper Metz said no charges were expected and that all concerned was satisfied with the way they were handling the situation. Maybe, this is why they say no charges have been filed. Who says this county is corrupted? Look around good people of Gilmer, what do think?? Here’s something to think about.
Rumor has it; the sheriff may be going to run for magistrate.
By ANONYMOUS on 10.30.2011
In Gilmer County when you hear we are turning it over a case to State Police, it means : We are sweeping it under the rug.
Are the commissioners, prosecutor, and the sheriff that stupid to know wrong from wright?
Do you all remember when Mr. Hough turned over the ‘no foul play’ involving mickey Metz and Fred Hill to State Police? Have you heard any more about it? You can find out a better answer if you ask Mickey and his daughter about Fred Hill.
By must be kidding me on 10.30.2011
Are we talking about the state police already bought and paid for by ike? What about it ike? Is casey guilty? What should happen to him? Or is he on the same side state police is as far as you are concerned?

Metz says no charges have been filed. may be ms. hess is as guilty you know. Sometimes it takes two to horseplay.

In response to jj328:
It does take two to horseplay the last count I had.
Wouldn’t be much fun by yourself would it?
Mrs. Hess admits she was involved, that is not the problem.
It would not change the severity of this incident if there were 10 people involved.
The fact remains he used a weapon on her, this is not what a taser is for. He was WAY out of line and should never have used this taser on her and the Sheriff needs to do the proper thing and dismiss Jones from his position.
The next time it could be a gun.
The Sheriff needs to take full responsibility, not dismiss it merely because charges were not brought.
Personally, I think Melissa Hess and her husband should bring charges and probably most of the people in the county say the same thing.
If not, it is just another example of the crimes and criminals walking scott free. But, this is Gilmer County folks.
That about says it all.
By This is Gilmer County on 10.30.2011
Whether it were a horseplay or not, even an idiot shouldn’t use a tazer gun on anybody. let alone when he is law official.
History tell us mr. jones is not mature enough to be on the law enforcement to protect citizens of gilmer county.
sheriff metz, did they tell you in training you do not horseplay with a tazer guns?
and you expect us to elect you as a magistrate?
you must be kidding.

Hey Sheriff…. “To see if any criminal activity is involved” is not a complete sentence.

Why is outside help needed to determine if a criminal act occurred? This is an example of buck passing by our timid official. The scandal has other implications too. If a person from the privileged class is involved with something serious including reckless driving, underage drinking, drunk driving or drug possession, they get free passes. For others, the hammer falls hard. We all know of examples of this in the County. Ask individuals who have served in local law enforcement. They will verify that preferential treatment for the privileged is demanded for job retention. Gilmer’s citizens lost respect for our legal system and we need to exercise civic responsibility by cleaning up the mess when we go to the polls. Even if a law is not broken and a legal system official gets involved with questionable conduct, respect for the entire system is eroded. Respect is lost too when information about progress with the Fred Hill case is withheld from the public.

I am amazed this deputy still has a job and further astounded at the handling of this incident by Sheriff Metz. From a legal aspect Gilmer County may as well leave a blank check with Deputy Jones personnel file. His actions were deliberate and he knowingly knew the effects of a dry stun. In my personal opinion he is an extreme liability to the county and should be relieved of his duties. As for the sheriff, he was elected by the citizens of the county. Remember this incident and the many others before you cast your vote.

If you were stopped or investigated by Mr. Jones for anything, would he give you a break? Probably not and he doesn’t deserve one either from us. Charge and indict this Mr. Hough for us and do the right thing, because he doesn’t stand above the law as he thinks he does. If you did what he did to that woman, the state would have your job sir, so we ask to do what is right.

When Sheriff Metz was campaigning for his first term. It was like a breath of fresh air came to Gilmer County. He wasn’t perceived as one of “good old boys” that was on the take of the local power clan. That probably got him elected.
I believe there were those of us who thought he might just be the one to clean up the County. Seemed like the first year or two, that was what might happen. Along the way, we began to see a “different” Sheriff than the man that was first elected. At the Common Place there were discussions and we began to wonder what was happening.
Did the job get to him? Go to his head? Or did “someone” get to him? A lot of us really have been wondering what has happened.
There was a rumor 3 or 4 years ago, that Office Jones had been fired. Do not know if that is the truth or not? Another rumor that there had been a lawsuit and Officer Jones seemed to just reappear. If this is the case, could our local Sheriff, PA Lawyer, and Commissioners be running scared? Is this why the buck has been passed? Sure makes one wonder.
Metz is a “short-timer” now, to use a military term, near the end of his elected second term. So trying to be rid of him through a petitioning process would be a waste of time and energy. He will soon be gone, unless he runs for another office in the county. That would not be nice.
People, if you really are serious about a Gilmer County “clean-up”, this is the perfect time. Absolute perfect time. You have about 6 months to organize and circulate petitions prior to the 2012 election. Earl Ray, Joe Manchin and host of other are going to be spending that big money to get back to the trough, and I suspect that they could and would do wonders to help Gilmer County take out the trash. Are you ready?
Wonder when Facemire, Walker and Boggs are up again?
And Officer Jones will be on the “loose” again, in less than 48 hours. Be careful.

It is time to create and circulate a petition to have MICKEY METZ removed from office and also time to create and circulate a petition to have Gerald Hough removed from office.
The election process in Gilmer County has been flawed for sometime. It is manipulated and controlled and even both Gilmer County Commission Clerks have been arrested for election fraud charges, but with no consequence.
It is long past time to be taken advantage of, and not do a darn thing about it. TWO rotten apples spoiled the whole barrel a long time ago. Action is needed to remove both elected positions for failure to be honest and forthright in their positions. More than enough evidence has already been presented.

West Virginia has made little if any progress in adopting a teacher evaluation system that includes student achievement, according to the National Council on Teacher Quality.
Most of the critical policies regulating education in West Virginia are made by the West Virginia Legislature, a body that has shied away from offending teacher unions.
While there has been a national movement to tie student performance to teacher quality, West Virginia has one of the weakest education systems linking student performance to teacher effectiveness, according to the report.
“The disregard for performance in education has bred massive dysfunction and has disastrous consequences for the health of the teaching profession and for student achievement, especially for students most in need of effective teachers,” says the report.
Why Is Gilmer County Different from Rest of the World?
In the GILMER FREE PRESS this morning….
The WV Record Reported:
Woman suing East Bank, former police officer over Tasering
An East Bank woman is suing the town and a former police officer over an incident where the officer admitted to using a Taser on the woman, who said she was pregnant at the time.
Candice White filed a lawsuit Feb. 13 in Kanawha Circuit Court against the town of East Bank and former officer Steve Smith, who was fired over the incident.
The complaint says that at the end of July 2008, Smith was on duty when he stopped at White’s residence, but the call was not related to his law enforcement duties.
Smith, White and five other people were on the front porch of the residence and Smith was talking about what it felt like to be “tazed,“ the complaint said.
Smith was holding a Taser gun and talking about people he’d used it on and how he’d been “tazed” during his police training, the complaint says.
At some point, Smith allegedly asked the plaintiff if she would like to be “tazed,“ to which she allegedly replied, “Yeah, right. Go ahead.“
The complaint says Smith told her he could put the weapon on a low setting and that she would hardly feel it.
He then allegedly “tazed” White twice on the thigh and she told him to stop, the complaint said.
Then she started to go into the house, but Smith followed her and “tazed” her on the lower back. White says she swatted at the Taser and ended up getting struck again on the hand.
White contends she later told Smith that she was pregnant and he assured her that being “tazed” wouldn’t hurt the baby.
White is suing on grounds of constitutional tort, vicarious liability, negligence, outrageous conduct and intentional infliction. She’s seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
Michael T. Clifford is representing White. Kanawha Circuit Judge James Stucky has been assigned the case.

~~~ Readers’ Comments ~~~
The question has been asked on the article “Why is Gilmer County Different”. It showed the same type of incident happening in East Bank that just recently happened here in Gilmer County in regards to a police officer tasing a female as a way of “clowning around or horseplay”. The officer involved in this case at East Bank WAS FIRED, and the woman is now suing the town of East Bank and the police officer involved. GOOD for this woman, she is doing what she should do and I hope Martin and Melissa Hess will do the same thing. The people in this town that are dismissing this incident here as a case of joking around and horseplay are the same people we put in office and who are controlling and being controlled by other elite people.
The Sheriff, Prosecuting Attorney, and the County Commission are some of them and they are all a disgrace to the citizens of Gilmer County.
WE DESERVE BETTER THAN WHAT WE ARE GETTING.
And because the ones named are controlled and controlling they are as guilty as Deputy Jones for not having the guts to do something right for a change instead of favoring the elite.
This officer needs to be FIRED immediately. They know it and so do we. You would think that with other lawsuits against them that they would wise up and do what is the law instead of “catering”. A comment to More To Come, yes we all thought that when Mickey ran for sheriff the first time that he would clean this county up and be for the people. It was good at first, then the problems with law enforcement began. What a shame too, because we really had faith in him. In answer to your question, it “was someone who got to him”.
Remember, money talks. As far as you saying to organize and get the backing and support from the big names running for re-election and they will help take the trash out of this county. WRONG. Who do you think is involved and supporting them from this county? Yep, the ones you want to ask for help. It is not only county wide, it is state wide that we are fighting. You heard the ole saying” You can’t fight city hall”. If the high and mighty in this town do not FIRE Jones immediately for his actions, I hope the County Commission, Prosecutor, and Sheriff get the pants and the “we are the controlling attitude” sued right off of them. Then we, the citizens asking for his dismissal can say we told you so while they are writing the check for the law suit that WE the taxpayers will have to pay for their screw-ups.
What a sad pathetic county we have to call home. To our Sheriff, Prosecutor, County Commission, and the “elite” I sure hope you are proud of yourselves and can sleep at night because the county is not proud anymore.
DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THIS COUNTY instead of yourself.
PS involving the State Police was a big joke too because you knew what they would say in regards to the investigation for criminal activity. If you thought they might see that he was in the wrong I think you would have brought his patrol car to the courthouse instead of leaving it at his residence. THE DECISION WAS ALREADY MADE BEFORE THE INVESTIGATION.
By Not a Proud County on 11.01.2011
Ultimately, it is the county commissioners’ responsibility to make sure county affairs are done properly.
Investigations rather than continuous cover-ups are due by county commission regarding all the mishaps in sheriff department ethically, criminally, and financially. It is time to stop Metz lying and making his own rules. cool mad
By WatchDog on 11.01.2011
I along with a lot of other good citizens of Gilmer County are HOPING that Martin and Melissa Hess WILL BRING SUIT against Deputy Casey Jones, the Gilmer County Sheriff Mickey Metz, The Prosecuting Attorney and the Gilmer
County Commissioners.
This corruption needs STOPPED now.
Melissa needs to get her a GOOD attorney away from Glenville and get the process started and make sure the guilty have to pay damages plus all Court costs.
Do it Melissa not only for yourself, but for the good people of Gilmer County. We are behind you.
By Do it!!! on 11.01.2011
Gilmer County is different because they make their own rules in Gilmer County and a select few individuals can freely break the law and even commit murder.
Judge Facemire can tell a bold face lie to the Judicial Investigation Commission and they are going to back him up, even if it is wrong and even if they break laws to do it.
The State Police in WV have become an organization that is strictly military and run by politics and this has proved to be a danger to some communities and some citizens.
The Office of Disciplinary Counsel recently refused to accept evidence that proves our prosecutor Gerry Hough committed a crime and politics was the root cause.
Gilmer County is a highly political entity that works hard at politics to protect the individuals in power in the county. Officials make sure adequate payments are made to the right people and Gilmer County is different because they have created a totalitarian society and made it work, much to the detriment of the citizens.
By anonymous on 11.01.2011
Our County Commission and prosecuting attorney, and Sheriff are ultimately responsible and should take action, if not they should be removed from office. A taser is a gun and the bottom line, where does the buck stop? When you kill my family member and or maybe then the fun is over Mr. Jones, or your personal enjoyment is satisfied. The weapon was issued and not intended to be used on the honest people of this state. Our next election for county magistrate where Sheriff Metz has been quoted by numerous people that he will be running for we should be interesting because his term as a two term loser sheriff is over. Let’s call it two timing sheriff. If the county Commissioners don’t act responsibly and quickly their positions will be at risk as well. We as citizens ask the county commission to voice their opinions and take action publicly as soon as they can to avoid public humiliation and ridicule to avoid public scrutiny over the sheriff’s office scandals.

Sheriff Deputy Casey Jones was back on duty in the early morning hours this morning and back on shift. He is fully free to TAZE HAZE and AMAZE !! Casey Jones is back riding that train high on Cocaine and he will watch your speed!
Information has led members of the Secret Seven Coalition to believe Lena Lunsford had previous contact with a crooked county child protective services worker and may have sold her daughter, Aliayah for cash money or a promise of a large sum. This information was given by an informant from Lewis County associated and once friends with Lena. More information will be shared as it is made known.
Child Protective Services is a specialized Child Welfare service provided by the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources and we are flat out accusing them of stealing peoples children and some of these people sell these children either for adoption or who knows, for they are never seen or heard from again.
Lena Lunsford is whore that would sell whatever she could for cash for dope and booze and whatever she needs to feed the monster.
Here is an excerpt from the next Revenge of the Ghost Wolf Article to be released just before the witching hour on Friday!
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain
silent.” — Thomas Jefferson.
We need to let people know that America and GILMER COUNTY will never be free, and the USA a country of the people, by the people, and for the people until we get rid of the system of payment for election and stop selling our government for greed and petty favors. From local government to federal agencies,
GILMER COUNTY will never be free until we send the “Good Old Boys” home.
“Good old boy” politics long ago destroyed the trust most of us have in our policy makers. Many are living testimony to its effectiveness. Do you want a job, want your kid’s arrest not to appear in the local paper, need a favor with the judge about that DUI, got a problem recording that lien or need help handling Dad’s will? Take the easy way out, go with the flow and keep your mouth shut, it will all be just OK.
Eliminating the cronyism, nepotism and the capitalism of connections which controls our local government should be priority Number One and it is the elephant in the corner!
How much more of an official complaint can you make than notifying a Sheriff of verifiable misconduct by his own employees? Are we supposed to type up the complaint ourselves and take it to him? He has been notified multiple times of questionable actions by the Prosecutor, nothing. He was notified of the assault and sodomy of Everett Campbell’s wife prior to her boyfriends murder, nothing. He has been notified of the murder of Fred Hill, nothing. How much more of these do nothing attitudes can this county take? Why is everything supposedly given over to State Police to handle? If that’s where it’s going why even have a County Police Force on the payroll? Let’s just cut out the expensive middle man and go straight on up the line. Maybe if the State Police were required to serve us we would see a few more of them around here.People are getting tired of watching the courthouse do nothing.
Editors note: Last time I heard, “It has been given over to the State Police in Glenville to handle …” I laughed and laughed and almost choked and couldn’t get my breath. Hearing that again may be the death of me, but it is pretty funny to hear about, because it is like a childs game they play with us thinking we are children. We are children with loaded weapons. It is a little different deal.
SS Member: They are do whack a do’s ..do nothings! Maybe we should try to eliminate their positions and get some do somethings in here.
