Cody Campbell follows his dream
Cody Campbell has found his niche in the world, and he loves it! The young man, formerly of Duck, builds NASCAR stock cars, and he considers himself one lucky man. Even more exciting for the Braxton County High grad, he is a part of the pit crew for a NASCAR driver. Although Campbell didn’t originally set out to do all of this, he definitely feels it’s where he belongs.
“Almost everyone in my family loves racing,” Campbell said. “My mom and dad and brother Eric and I have been NASCAR fans as long as I remember, and my sister Tiffany tolerated it.” However, as much as he loves racing, he didn’t immediately go into his current career. “After I graduated from Braxton [County High] in 2009, I went to WVU for two years and studied engineering,” he explained. Continuing, he said, “But it just seemed like there was something out there I really wanted to do, so I left WVU to find whatever it was.”

Rotary announces date for Spring Blood Screening
The Braxton County Rotary Club has announced the date of their Spring Blood Screening which will be Saturday, April 12.
“We are pleased to again be providing this service to our citizens. It would not be possible without the cooperation of our partners at Braxton County Memorial Hospital,” says Eddie Williams president of the local Rotary club. “The testing represents a 90 percent savings over what is commonly charged by doctor’s offices and medical facilities. It is a value that could very well save your life. As families struggle to meet the ever increasing costs of living, it is important that we don’t forget about our own health and wellbeing,” he added.

Central West Virginia Outdoors: Late season rabbit hunt
Late season hunting opportunities have been few and far between with the winter we’ve been having. The last weekend of February the temperatures finally warmed up enough to thaw things out. With a break in the weather my buddy Jason invited me along for a rabbit hunt before the season ended.
It was a little chilly to start out with the thermometer reading 26 and a light coat of frost covering the ground. The snow had melted off and the beagles were eager to find a rabbit and it didn’t take them very long. Jason literally dropped the tailgate and let Rascal out. He walked across the road and into a briar patch and then opened up. |
