THE CRIER ENDORSES THESE TWO CANDIDATES FOR COUNTY COMMISSION!
Biographical Statements for The Pocahontas Times
IN THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT…
THE CRIER ENDORSES:
NORMAN
LEE ALDERMAN (REP)
of Beaver
Creek!
Norman is proud to be a lifelong local born & raised Citizen of Pocahontas County. Married to Carol, also a retired Teacher,
they have a son, Lindell, and daughter, LeAnna, both of whom were honor
students at PCHS who went onto college degrees and careers, and providing six
grandchildren so far.
Education
& Experience-wise
Norman has a Bachelor of Arts
Teaching Degree; is a retired English Teacher; a retired IT Specialist with the Board of Education; a former County
Commissioner; an active minister with Cummings Creek Victory Chapel; editor of The Pocahontas Commentator & Etater, both Internet News
Services; and he has been a lifelong community activist
always striving for Social Justice for the people of this county! As a community activist, Norman has engaged in
several Citizen-Taxpayer civil lawsuits by himself and with others that have
always delivered ‘positive-results’
for the people of this county and have always been accomplished at personal
expense, time & effort.
As a result of his community efforts for Social Justice, Norman
requested the official address for David Fleming, a sitting county
commissioner, and was then falsely accused &
arrested, including having all his computers, cameras, and electronic equipment
seized in a ‘midnight-raid’ by the
Office of the Sheriff! It took
approximately 16 months to win his case & have his items returned. Historically this is the price that Righteous
persons pay when they speak out against crimes & corruption of public
officials! That’s why Norman
is running again for County
Commission – to restore
Honesty & Integrity in Local Government once again!
Some of the things that can improve this county are to have its own
county development authority again, but this time with rank & file honest
Citizens! And
IMAGINE THE JOBS & FINANCIAL GROWTH if everyone with Natural Spring Water
on their property joined in the Pocahontas Pure Water CO-OP to make
bottled-water the #1 business in this county and share in the prosperity
– stopping ‘Fracking Forever’! Since Intrawest & Fortress are in such
deep debt, imagine if the State turned Snowshoe & Silver Creek over to this
County to run as a CO-OP! Imagine ‘Wind Turbines’
generating low-cost ‘Clean Energy’!
Imagine a county solid waste authority that actually follows the laws of
this State! Imagine ‘Public Works Projects’ to put
people to work for the benefit of all concerned! Imagine deputies correctly trained that did
not sexually abuse women! A lot can be
done if & when folks put ‘The Greater Common Good before Self or any Self-Serving
Special Interest’!
This election the
people of this county have a real chance to elect two Righteous persons at the
same time to the county commission to restore an Ethical Local Government,
stemming from the Common Law, based upon the Divine Laws! YOU have a chance to make history & Vote for Social
Justice! May Our Creator Bless all your
efforts accordingly.
Thank you
indeed! See the Issues:

IN THE NORTHERN DISTRICT…
THE CRIER ENDORSES:
PATTI HEINEMANN (DEM)
of Green Bank!
Patti is proud she is a direct descendant of Thomas McLaughlin, one of the original families from Ireland that settled in this part of the Appalachia following the War Between the States. She and her husband, Jerry, have known each other the whole of their lives since they were born in the same town on the same street and walked to Bible School together. Following his undergraduate degree, they were married and raised 10 children, 7 boys & 3 girls, seven of whom were raised in this county, and all are college educated & married with families of their own, totaling 25 grandchildren to date.
Education
& Experience-wise
As for education, Patti has a Masters Degree in
Public Administration and a Bachelor of Science Degree in Communications &
Journalism, and has over 25 years experience in journalism, public
relations, and organizational administration.
She’s been a lifelong activist for Social
Justice. What made her decide to
run for County Commission, at the urging of friends
& family, was the total lack of
Ethics that she has seen taking place within this county in the last two
decades! Public servants seem to
want to advance themselves and their careers at the expense of the
Citizen-Taxpayer whom they are suppose to serve! As a direct & proximate result, Patti has set forth a series of important Issues that she
believes will advance this county into a fit place to live and raise a family.
A key issue facing this county is the need for a county economic
development authority instead of a private corporation from Greenbrier County
collecting all our money & land!
When Patti & her husband established a sewing enterprise to make
T-Shirts in Durbin at the urging of the late Carlos Jones, they employed 15 persons at $5.00 per/hour with health
insurance after 3 months when the minimum-wage was only $3.50 p/hr. In less than a month a local banker, former
commissioner & former sheriff forced Carlos Jones to ‘lock-out’ the new business, or be put out of business himself, since no one else was offering such wages
& benefits!
Other issues needing resolution include:
(1) Ending all solid waste authority lawsuits &
expunging all judgments & liens!
(2) Obtaining ‘Cell-Service’ for the entire county, and another
communications company besides Frontier! (3) ‘Wind Turbines’ as a source of electricity! (4) NO ‘FRACKING’ – EVER – Clean Water is
too precious to pollute! (5) Audit all
county agencies pursuant to Federal Law!
(6) A Citizen-Referendum on where excess county funds should be spent! (7) Establishing Snowshoe & Silver Creek
as a CO-OP business!
This election we have a chance to elect two
Righteous persons at the same time to the county commission to restore an
Ethical Local Government, stemming from the Common Law, based upon the Divine
Laws! YOU have a chance to make history &
Vote for Social Justice! May Our Creator
Bless all your efforts accordingly.
Thank you
indeed! See:

[Editorial Staff Note: For
those who have asked, the ‘local banker, former commissioner & former sheriff
[that] forced Carlos Jones to ‘lock-out’ the new business, or be put out of
business himself’…was none other than Phillip Cain of the then First
National Bank & Pocahontas Development Authority (PDA); former commissioner Dana Moyers who was forced to resign after a
Citizen-Taxpayer petition & trial before a three-judge panel over numerous
charges stemming from the ‘Howes Leather’
fiasco; and former sheriff Jerry Dale who was disgraced after lying under oath
in the first trial against Jacob Beard when Beard was falsely charged &
imprisoned over the ‘Rainbow Killings’! And this is the same ‘Phil Cain’ that has had his hands in
almost everything in this county in the past 25 years, and rumored to be the recognized titular head
of the Pocahontas County ‘Poverty
Preservation Society’ for everyone but himself and his fellow cronies!]
As researched by the Editorial
Staff of The
Pocahontas Crier, both Norman Lee Alderman
as a former commissioner, and Patti Heinemann as
one trained in public administration and experienced with 25 years working with
NGOs – these two candidates have the
Education, Experience, Courage & Integrity to restore public confidence in
a Moral, Ethical & Righteous local county government once again & in our opinion the Best Candidates to elect to the County Commission! Can anyone remember
when this kind of combination of honest-folks ever served together in Pocahontas County? NO,
neither can we remember such a choice for intelligence, innovation, and
integrity!
THIS TIME…there’s no excuse…
IT’S YOUR
CHOICE…
TO CHANGE FOR THE BETTER!
Just say ‘NO’ to
those who want to keep this county in Poverty & Pauperism
– and –
Just SAY ‘YES’ to
real Progress
& Prosperity for the future!
On Primary Day – YOU have a chance to elect two persons
that will always put YOU first! They know that:
