Perdue, the state’s 24th Treasurer, has 35 years of experience serving the people of West Virginia.From his days working for the Department of Agriculture to serving as a senior aide in the Governor’s office during the Caperton Administration, John Perdue has placed a high premium on public service. For nearly four decades, Perdue has worked hard to make West Virginia a better place for its small businesses, senior citizens, families, and young people.

Perdue, who was first elected to statewide office in 1996, has taken the State Treasurer’s Office to new heights with a more modernized office that not only restored the public’s faith and confidence with the state’s bank, but also successfully created a transparent office that dutifully serves the West Virginia taxpayer.

The Treasurer is a strong supporter of financial education in the classroom as well, beginning in elementary school. He is teaming with the West Virginia Department of Education to integrate practical financial uses, a program known as ‘NetWorth,’ into pre-existing curriculum.

John Perdue is past president of the National Association of State Treasurers and the Northeast Region of the National Association of State Treasurers. He has also served as president of the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators. In addition, he has served on the board of the College Savings Plan Network.

Webster Runners

After a long and very exhausting day, the Webster County citizens found energy to participate in workout activities. After the assembly at Assembly Hall, the citizens got together and thought it best to go running for a workout. Out of the twenty-one citizens in the Webster County, fifteen of the citizens took themselves a nightly job around Jackson’s Mill grounds. After everyone had returned to the cottage, they decided that a nightly run will occur the entire span of Mountaineer Boys State. Everyone is welcome to join in on the fun.

Webster Athletics

WebStar Goes Up 2-0 for Sports Records

As the Websters had a record of 1-0 going into their second sports game, the future did not look bright. Panhandle came out strong and took the first set with a 15-13 point victory. With the help of players such as John Neges, Cameron Killmer, Thomas Dodd, and the MVP, Cam Viney, the WebStars once again showed their teamwork by forcing a 3rd set. The WebStars came together after being down by 8 in the final set, and Cam Viney finished it off with a spike. They start softball with a perfect record.

WebStar is Victorious!

It was a hot Monday afternoon as the WebStars took the court to take on Monroe Cottage. Monroe started off very quickly going up 3-nil. After that, the 12 players who were dressed to play for the WebStars showed off their skills and went on a 9-0 run. The score was 9-3 at halftime. Coming out of halftime, Monroe tried to make quick adjustments, but could not pull off a run. The WebStars came out victorious with a 17-6 win.

Newsome Memories

It was on June 13 of 2011 when I had the privilege to interview the Braxton County Senior Counselor. Only being the first full day of the week, I was extremely nervous. But at the right time, I was confident in doing my first interview. I started with the basic of a hello, and a how are you today? Newsom was very polite and told me he was doing quite fine.

I then progressed into asking if he was enjoying his week at Boy’s State so far. Newsom responded by saying “Yes. Boy’s State is always one of my favorite weeks of the year.” I then asked the curious question of what year he was a citizen at Boy’s State, and could he tell me his experience at his Boy’s State? Newsom was a citizen of Boy’s State in 2006, and “When I was a citizen in Boy’s State, I remember being extremely overwhelmed, but then as the week progressed, I greatly enjoyed myself.”

When Newsom was a citizen at Boy’s State, he ran for the office of the House of Delegates. Newsom has been coming back to Boy’s State ever since 2006, with this year being his 6th year in Boy’s State. I greatly appreciated the interview with Newsom and I personally am starting to enjoy my Boy’s State experience.

Nationalist Party Caucus

As time rolls on, it becomes more and more aware to every one of us here in Boys State that time moves extremely fast. This is evident every day, but especially on this day. Today, the people of the Nationalist party gathered in Assembly Hall for their party caucuses. Mark Zachwieja started off the gathering with eight simple words; “This is learning by doing, just like life.” The main objective, incidentally, was to elect a State Party Chairman for the Nationalist party. This, of course, was accomplished; the State Party Chairman for the Nationalist party of 2011 is Andrew Carrol. Andrew won the election after several long, endearing, voting sessions.

Besides the State Party Chairman election, this session of caucuses had several plates that were introduced and passed. One of these plates was to place taxes upon non-renewable resources, with the money going towards new industries, such as geothermal resources. Another important plate that was passed was a scholarship fund for less advanced students, generally with a G.P.A. between 2.5 and 3.0. The money would come from a1% tax on non-renewable resources.

Besides numerous other plates that were proposed, the rest of the time was occupied by short, 30 second speeches made by the candidates from the Supreme Court, Commissioner of Agriculture, Attorney General, Treasurer, Auditor, and Governor. These candidates strived to win the hearts of their fellow Nationalists in order to win their respective elections. Many of these accomplished this with catchy phrases. For example, Andrew Maloney used the phrase “Vote for Andrew ‘No bologna’ Maloney”, whereas Joseph Dirt recited a common quote from the fictional character “Joe Dirt”, who shares his name: “Life’s a garden, dig it.” After the candidate’s speeches, there were several plates proposed, with a few being passed. The meeting was concluded with eleven plates proposed, six of which passed.

Into The Woods

If you travel along the worn, stone walk way of the Dominion Path, into the low valley and up the other side of the valley; you will encounter the Randolph Cottage. It is a peaceful cottage that is neighbored by the Monroe Cottage right inside the forest. The Randolph Cottage differs from the other cottages in that its location is different and its old, nostalgic features: the wood pillars with initials of past members carved in, its log cabin type structure and the cottage’s rooftop which is scarred with the wounds of weather. The boys in the cottage favor it over the other cottages even though it lacks modern style and, more importantly, it lacks an air conditioning system. Philip Mickinar, a Randolph resident, said, “The cottage is very quiet and secluded. It’s peaceful too. It helps you get a good night’s sleep.” Another Randolph resident, Karl Smakula, also mentioned it was quiet. Karl even said, “There is nothing I don’t like about this cottage.” To the boys who stay in Randolph, it is a unique cottage. This uniqueness will make the cottage stay in their memory for a lifetime.
