Charlie the Coal Miner Located in Harrison County, West Virginia

In Shinnston, West Virginia, you’ll find Charlie the Coal Miner, a remarkable 21-foot-tall statue crafted from scrap metal.

This impressive piece of art and coal mining history stands in a former coal town along the West Fork River.

Commissioned in 1999, the statue serves as a tribute to a coal miner named Charlie, who tragically lost his life in the mines back in 1951.

Notably, the statue features a functioning lighted miner’s helmet, adding to its authenticity and significance.

Parents Of Baby Born at 7-Eleven On July 11th Get Free Coffee For Years

A baby born in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven convenience store on July 11th gets recognition and some freebies from the company. Waylon Bush entered this world in the early hours of July 11th in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven store in Shinnston, West Virginia. His birth via C-section was scheduled for two days later, but his mother, 24-year-old Allie Sayers, went into labor early. She woke her fiancé, 27-year-old Chase Bush, to drive her to the hospital, but baby Waylon wasn’t going to wait.

On the 18 mile trip from their home in Wallace to the hospital in Clarksburg, the couple pulled over into the parking lot of a 7-Eleven and Chase delivered their baby boy. Even though he has no medical training, Chase handled the delivery like a pro. Waylon was even born with his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck, but his dad acted quickly to unwrap it.

When 7-Eleven caught wind of the birth, they put out this message: "It’s a 7-Eleven miracle! On Monday, July 11, otherwise known as 7-Eleven’s 95th birthday, Allie Sayers, with the help of her fiancé, Chase Bush, gave birth in a West Virginia 7-Eleven parking lot. Baby Waylon now shares a birthday with the convenience store retailer — just another reason why July 11 is the best day of the year!" They also gave the new parents seven years worth of free coffee and a care package of 7-Eleven and Slurpee branded items for baby Waylon.

Shinnston students win statewide art contest

Two Shinnston middle-school students are among the winners of the fourth annual Almost Heaven Governor’s Art Exhibition, state officials announced last week.

The contest was designed “to showcase student creativity and the arts,” according to a news release. This year’s theme was: “What does America’s newest national park – the New River Gorge National Park & Preserve – mean to you?” Winners’ artwork will be featured on postcards for the Department of Tourism.

Peyton Hamrick, a seventh-grade student at Lincoln Middle School, won second place in the middle-school division with “Bridge Over the Mountains.”  

Raley Cochran, a sixth-grade student at Lincoln Middle School, won third place in the middle-school division with “Winter at New River Gorge.” 

First, second, and third-place winners in three divisions, elementary school, middle school, and high school, will receive Blick Art Materials gift cards in the amounts of $100, $50, and $25, respectively.

Peyton used a tool on scratch paper to create shadows and depth in a scenic, black-and-white piece, featuring the historic New River Gorge Bridge and surrounding mountains, skyline, and the New River. Peyton said the drawing “signifies the beauty of the state that I call home.” 

“I like art because I get to express myself through creativity,” she said. 

Peyton said she felt proud and excited to win second place, and she planned to practice more art with the new supplies.

Raley used watercolor to create an imaginative version of the same recognizable landmark, the New River Gorge.

“I wanted to capture the beauty of the New River Gorge in winter,” she said.

Raley was shocked and excited to have won third place. 

She said she’s loved art since she was little, so she would have continued creating it even without the recognition of her talent. 

“I like art because it does not always have to be perfect, like in my painting of the bridge, I made the snow purple,” she said. “It is also very fun and exciting.”

Submitting student artwork to the contest was optional for teachers. But Beth Roselius, who started teaching art at Lincoln Middle School this year, said she typically enters her students in as many contests as she can. She hopes winning helps them feel confident in their abilities.

A previous art teacher left when COVID-19 hit, then last year, school officials filled the position with long-term substitutes, she said. She noted that many elementary schools in Harrison County, even though her classes are the reason some kids get excited to come to school.

“My goal is to develop not only a strong program, but to really get students excited about art and, and what it can open up for them,” she said. “And just to see them realize that they’re good at something.” She hopes to see students find “something in them that they didn’t know they had before.”

Shinnston is about two hours from the new national park. Roselius said she showed students pictures and asked them critical thinking questions, like “what types of things would you do at the New River Gorge?” She said those were questions that got kids thinking, “maybe I don’t live there, but there are things that I can relate to.”

In the press release last week, Gov. Jim Justice, the West Virginia Department of Tourism and the West Virginia Department of Arts, Culture and History also announced that the winning entries are among 275 pieces from students in 12 counties now on display outside the governor’s office at the State Capitol.

Before coming to Lincoln Middle School, Roselius taught other students who placed in the contest. She said state officials held a reception in Charleston two years ago, but not last year because of the pandemic. As for this year, she said she hadn’t heard from state officials, but the school principal planned to make an announcement about the local winners this week, and that she would plan an award ceremony at the school.
