Now, I know that there is some skepticism about Norman and myself being two different people. The truth is; We are. Norman and I think a lot differently.
Norman posted a poll titled "Who's to blame?" and in that article/poll, he mentioned that the Sheriff's Dept (lead by Sheriff David Jonese and Major David Walton) took unauthorized action to provide the good citizens some relief (and in all likelihood survival) from being powerless due to the recent storm that paralyzed the county.
I would like to go on the record and congratulate and thank the deputies, Major David Walton and of course Sheriff David Jonese on a job well done! Their insight into how serious this situation really was truly helped out the county and the people that suffered and are still suffering.
Sheriff Jonese showed great leadership by personally helping prepare meals for the hungry. He and Major David Walton demonstrated tremendous leadership in responding immediately to the county's people and our safety. Sheriff David Jonese and his troop are modern day heroes folks. Please acknowledge this.

More From the Mon Power Website (please bookmark):
Crews continue to work around the clock as quickly and safely as possible to restore customers affected by the severe weather that passed through our service territory. Due to the extent of damage caused by the severe weather, we anticipate the majority of those customers still without power to be restored by late in the day on Sunday July 8, 2012 and the remainder on Monday July 9, 2012. To view a listing of restoral times by county, please click on the red Additional Outage Information bar above.

Remember to treat all downed wires as live and dangerous.
Severe storms on Friday, June 29, and another storm on Sunday, caused widespread power outages in our West VIrginia and Maryland service areas. Our crews continue working 16-hour shifts, around the clock, to restore power.
The majority of affected Mon Power customers are expected to be restored by late Sunday evening. However, because of the severe damage and accessibility challenges in many remote locations, some customers will not be fully restored until early next week.

Reader wants a little space on the Commentator.
Here we are again Moderator. Another disaster and another chance for the upper end of the county to be forgotten. I read Pam Pritt's feel good stories, about how everything was handled perfectly. I read that by candlelight though, according to Pam, all of the upper end had power restored quickly. Apparently, someone missed the memo that in reality; a great portion of the northern end of the county is still without power.
I read Pam's stories or heroism from our county officials. Oddly enough, I have still yet to hear from any of them. I did see deputies Bradley Nelson and Brian Shinaberry at Trent's a few days ago. They are all though.
I'm wondering where my county commission is located. I'm wondering where the emergency management crew is. I suppose they are still in Marlinton; sucking up every resource and dispensing to the Marlintonites greedily.
Apparently, the northern end of the county exists only when taxes are due and votes are needed. I've talked to many people the past few days. All are in favor of the upper end succeeding from Marlinton (AKA Pocahontas County). The petition will be circulating shortly. Will the etater support it?

I also agree that Pam Pritt is writing blindly and really, that is why I was compelled to reply to this topic.
Yes, there still is a large percentage of the northern residents that still have nothing yet, according to Pam; they're all sitting up there in the air conditioning since the day after the storm. All because of the quick reaction by our county officials.
Those heroic officials are the same ones that; when called upon to actually do their jobs, they get so "stressed out" that they get drunk, smash county vehicles and end up being "placed in (their wife's) custody".
Miss Pritt somehow missed that memo before writing her Kumbaya inducing, camp fire sitting drivel.
The World According To Pam; coming to book stores near you. Objective writing is dead in this county.
