SNIPPETZ LOOKS AT THE ORIGINAL FAMILY FEUD by Deborah Stumpf
T
he setting was the mid 19th century along the Tug Fork River, a tributary that ran between Kentucky and West Virginia. Two families – the HatďŹ elds and McCoys – once peaceful and even intermarried went to war, so to speak. Was it over the Civil War, a woman or a pig? Maybe all of the above. Nevertheless, the feud between these two families spawned movies, television shows and provided an historic setting for the tourist industry.

Before trouble started brewing, and even after, these families were intertwined in many ways. They married one another and employed one another. These were the days of low population and cousins marrying cousins. They were rugged folk with little care for the law. They settled disputes their own way, which usually meant rifles.

THE HATFIELDS William Anderson Hatfield, also known as “Devil Anse,� was the patriarch of this West Virginia family. Devil Anse was a captain in the Confederate army, a wellknown marksman and possessed a great sense of humor. He was a mountain man who over the years built a successful timber merchant business. He employed many McCoy men. Hatfield fathered 13 children – nine sons and four daughters with his wife Levicy. Their eldest son, Johnson, aka Jonse, is a key figure in the feud picture. More about him later.

Bill Staton, nephew to Ole Ran’l but married to a Hatfield, testified that the pig rightfully belonged to Floyd Hatfield.
litia group called the Logan Wildcats to protect his turf. The Wildcats didn’t stop at defending themselves, but lived up to their name with aggressive and offensive tactics including stealing hogs and horses from the “other side.�
Floyd Hatfield was acquitted of the theft charges, which was said to infuriate the McCoys. A couple of Ole Ran’ls nephews, Sam and Paris McCoy, killed Bill Staton two years later in a fight. Sam McCoy went to trial for the murder, but was acquitted for reasons of self defense. Even after the acquittal, the McCoy clan was still unhappy with the fact that Sam was even taken to trial in the first place.
Asa Harmon McCoy broke rank from the southern sympathizers and joined the Union Army. Asa broke his leg in the war and was sent home early. He was clearly not welcome and was indeed threatened by the Wildcats for being a traitor. It wasn’t long before he was murdered by the Wildcats. Devil Anse was the main suspect, but was found innocent once it was determined he was ill in bed at the time of the murder. The case was never brought to trial, however, as Asa was seen as a traitor by both the Hatfields and the McCoys.
THE MCCOYS
ROMEO HATFIELD AND JULIET MCCOY Of course, every good story needs a little romance. Election days brought everyone out for socializing. On one such day in 1880, Johnse Hatfield (son of Devil Anse) and Roseanna McCoy (daughter of Ole Ran’l McCoy) fell in love (or lust), disappearing into the woods for a considerable number of hours. Some say she missed her ride home; others say that she was afraid her family would retaliate upon her return. Whatever the reason, Roseanna moved into the Jonse Hatfield residence that night.
Many historians believe Asa Harmon McCoy’s murder was not necessarily a significant incident in the ensuing feud. In fact, life went back to normal with the families becoming increasingly intertwined in marriage and business.
The patriarch of the McCoy family from Kentucky was Randolph McCoy, known as “Ole Ran’l.� Ole Ran’l was quite the opposite of Devil Anse in that he was more intense and serious. The McCoy family was less prosperous than the Hatfields, but did own land and livestock. He married his cousin Sarah and they produced 16 children – nine sons and six daughters. One child died at birth. Their daughter Roseanna is also a key figure in this tale.
ALL THIS FOR A PIG? Then one day Ole Ran’l McCoy was visiting Floyd Hatfield, his wife’s brother-inlaw who lived on the Kentucky side of the river. He noticed Floyd had a pig that looked like one of his own. He accused Floyd of stealing his pig even though pigs roamed free in those days. Pig theft was enough to go to court and that is exactly what they did.
THE CIVIL WAR Once West Virginia was admitted into the Union in 1863, Devil Anse Hatfield feared for his family and property, so started a mi-
McCord’s Garden Center and Landscaping
At this point, there are some conflicting stories, but suffice it to say, Jonse was a bit of a lady’s man, so an instant wife didn’t suit him well. Some say Roseanna received so much family pressure that she had to leave the Hatfield’s home to live with her aunt, Betty McCoy. Since Betty’s home was close to Jonse’s, the two managed to get together once again. On this night,
A Hatfield and Baptist minister, Ans, was the judge in the case with six Hatfields and six McCoys as jury members.

of Devil Anse Hatfield and three of Ole Ran’l McCoy’s sons. Ellison Hatfield was stabbed and shot in the back by one of the McCoys. An arrest of the McCoys was attempted, but interrupted by the Hatfields. Ellison died and the Hatfields took matters into their own hands by killing the three McCoy brothers execution style – they tied them to paw paw bushes and fired 50 shots at them.

Roseanna knew that jail wasn’t going to be the end result, but that murder would be, so she took off with abandon to find Devil Anse so that he could intervene. He and several male family members did just that and saved Johnse from certain demise.

Then Perry Cline, attorney and husband of Martha McCoy got involved.

The Original Family Feud... Continued from Page 3
A FATEFUL NEW YEAR On New Year’s Day in 1888, the Hatfield men staged an ambush at the McCoy’s home. Ole Ran’l McCoy got away, but his wife suffered a crushed skull in the attack; his daughter Alifair and son Calvin were killed. Frank Phillips, a bounty hunter, found Cap Hatfield and Jim Vance a few days later. He killed Vance and took nine other Hatfields to jail. Legal battles being what they tend to be, this one went on for some time, finally landing in the U.S. Supreme Court. The highest court in the land decided the Hatfields
SIMPLE MATH By Nick Yanez
W
hen I was young, I used to walk home from school. Along the way I’d find trouble with my friends, getting into quarrels and exploring streams and trails until the evening sun called us in for dinner. One day I walked down a trail alone, wandering around the tree infected area I stumbled over a branch; the following events would change my life forever. After snagging my sneaker on the branch, I tumbled down a hill I’d never seen before. I landed softly in a creek below, soaking my shirt in muck and water. I took a look around and found some fabulous places to survey. There was a small drain tunnel, a rock cliff, and what appeared to be an old cement wall that had now been taken over vines; the years had been kind to the leaves, growing through the cracks and building a monument only Mother Nature could generate. Just before heading back for the trail, I saw a glint in the soil. I bent down to find a golden coin. Then I went home. As I walked back home, thinking of the tale I would explain to my parents of my dirty face and shirt, I considered several times tossing the coin away. It didn’t even look that cool after all. But I forgot about the coin, and it sat idle in my pocket for three days. After those 72 hours of going unnoticed, suddenly, the coin came back to mind. I was in a conversation with my grandfather, and I decided to ask him about the coin. I explained the coin, and my grandfather, in quite a bit of shock, revealed to me that the piece of currency I contained was the all-so-valuable 1933 Gold Double Eagle. Though 445,500 of the coins had been printed, none were released from the mint; except for a very mysterious few, mak-
could be tried and the trial ensued in 1889. Eight of the Hatfields were sentenced to life in prison and one, Ellison Mounts, was sentenced to death by hanging in public.

sk anyone—children’s parents who throw birthday parties, adults who throw dinner parties, someone getting married, even caterers—and they’ll tell you that their biggest etiquette gripe is that people do not RSVP. The phrase RSVP on an invitation means the host of the event or party is asking the recipient of the invitation to respond indicating that they will or will not be attending. The acronym RSVP is actually short for the French phrase “repondez s’il vous plait,� meaning “respond if you please.�
ALL QUIET IN THE WOODS The Hatfield and McCoys faded into the proverbial sunset after the trial. The family’s patriarchs lived on. Ironic considering his nickname, Devil Anse Hatfield became a born again Christian at the age of 73; he died from a bout of pneumonia. Ole Rand’l became a ferry operator; he died from burns resulting from a fire. Both lived into their 80s. ing it the most valuable gold coin in America. I was shocked and amazingly pleased to find that the single coin was worth about 6.6 million dollars!
A response to an invitation is usually very important to the host of an event because it allows them to better plan the event around the amount of people who are expected to attend. Weddings and other catered events are usually a prime example of cases where RSVPs really create problems, an accurate head count can mean the difference of hundreds of dollars when planning an event.
And this ladies and gentlemen, leads me to my point. This is why I love senior citizens. They have so much wisdom and knowledge that the rest of us will be incapable of achieving until‌ well, until we are one of them. This is why Pinz Bowing Center presents the Seniors League every Tuesday at 12:00pm. It features a super senior discount, which gives senior league bowlers three games of bowling for under $5! Not to mention the lunch specials and other benefits joining the senior league comes with.
First, if someone RSVPs that are attending an event and do not show up, the host still has to pay for that meal. With catered events and weddings, often times that can amount to anywhere from $25 to $75 or more per person. Can you imagine inviting someone to a party, catered event or wedding, they RSVP they are coming, and then they don’t show up and you still have to shell
The weekly League is a great chance for Senior Citizens (55+) to make new friends, stay in shape, and keep busy. The League is ongoing, never skipping a week; however, members of the league owe no commitment, and may show up whichever weeks they choose. Surely, with all their wisdom, any senior citizen of the Tri-lakes area could see the amazing opportunity that this is. All you have to do is show up at 12:00pm on any Tuesday, or call in the center and we’ll sign you up to this very welcoming League!
If someone shows up and they have not RSVPd, should they expect there to be enough food for them? Why? If the host believes a guest is not coming since they did not let him or her know either way, the host will definitely not be preparing enough food for them. If someone has a dinner party for eight people, and only four people RSVP that they are coming, then there will be enough food only for those who have RSVPd that they plan to be there. The table will only be set for four people, why would anyone expect it to be different. Sometimes you may see the phrase, “Regrets Only,� on an invitation. This means to RSVP your regrets only if you are unable to attend. Not RSVPing and assuming the host knows whether the invited guest plans to attend or not, just because they should “know,� also communicates a great deal of arrogance on the guest’s part. I’m sure no one intends to communicate arrogance, or a belief that they are better than anyone or everyone else—but not RSVPing because you believe the host or hostess should know you are coming may send the wrong message. Whether one believes that RSVPing is important or not, it is. If you are asked a question, it is impolite to simply not answer the question. A host asking for an RSVP is a person asking the question, “Will you or will you not be attending my event?� Best to simply be polite and answer the question.
fun
Now you’re probably wondering why I am writing this article promoting Leagues at Pinz Bowling Center even though I sold that coin for over 6 Million Dollars. Only the wisdom of a senior could probably figure it out; it’ll take a good judgment of a young rich mans character, as well as simple math to find the answer. Good luck.

biotics. To prevent diverticulosis from becoming diverticulitis, increase your fiber intake. Fiber is the indigestible coverings of many fruits, vegetables and grains. White flour is refined wheat -- wheat without its outer coat, the bran. Bran and other sources of fiber draw water into undigested food and make it easily pushed along the entire length of the colon.
LACK OF FIBER BLAMED FOR DIVERTICULOSIS DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a 55year-old man who finally bit the bullet and had a colonoscopy. My doctor had badgered me to have one for the past five years. I don’t have cancer. I don’t have polyps. I do have diverticulosis. I didn’t know I had it before the scope exam. I’ve never had even a twinge of pain. What is this, and what do I need to do about it? -- H.L. ANSWER: A diverticulum is a small, balloonlike protrusion of the colon lining through the muscle wall of the colon and onto its outer surface. By “small,” I mean that diverticula range from 0.2 inches to 0.4 inches (0.5 cm to 1 cm) in largest diameter, around the size of a pea. Their cause appears to be a lack of fiber in the diet. In places where the diet has lots of fiber, diverticulosis is rare. In North America, it’s rampant. Fiber keeps undigested food from drying out. Dried food residue requires powerful contractions of the colon muscle to push it along. Those contractions also push the colon lining through the colon wall, creating a diverticulum. Diverticulosis is frequently a silent affair, not causing any troubles. Diverticulitis, on the other hand, is an inflammation and infection of diverticula. That is quite painful. It produces abdominal pain on the left, lower side of the abdomen, often with nausea and vomiting. The diverticula also can burst and release bacteria into the abdominal cavity, a serious situation. Severe diverticulitis must be treated in the hospital with IV fluids and IV anti-

We’re supposed to get 25 to 35 grams of fiber a day. Beans, whole-grain cereals, whole-grain breads, dates, prunes, unskinned apples and pears are examples of fiber-rich foods. If you cannot get enough fiber from foods, then commercial products such as Fiberall, Metamucil, Citrucel and FiberCon can provide it for you.

HOME HEALTH CARE CHOICES MADE EASIER
I
tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not easy making medical decisions when we have no previous experience, but Medicare has just made it easier to make decisions about home health care. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Home Health Care CAHPS Surveyâ&#x20AC;? results have been posted online as part of the Quality Care Finder. The QCF already lets us compare hospitals, nursing homes, dialysis facilities, physicians and Medicare plans -- and now we do the same with home health care. For example, hospitals are compared for rates of readmission and deaths, and whether the hospitals use recommended treatments for serious conditions such as pneumonia and heart attack. Nursing homes can get up to a fivestar rating, depending on the quality of the care. The information looks at pain control, whether patients are given flu

MOMENTS IN TIME THE HISTORY CHANNEL
â&#x20AC;˘ On May 31, 1859, the massive clocktower bell known as Big Ben, located at the top of the 320-foot-high St. Stephenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tower, rings out over the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London, for the first time. Just two months later, however, the heavy striker cracked the bell. â&#x20AC;˘ On May 30, 1911, the inaugural Indianapolis 500 is run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Indiana. With the exception of a break in 1917 and 1918 for World War I and from 1942 to 1945 for World War II, the 200-lap, 2 1/2-mile race has been run every year. â&#x20AC;˘ On June 1, 1926, Norma Jeane Mortenson -- who will become known as the glamorous actress and sex symbol Marilyn Monroe -- is born in Los Angeles. During World War II, a photographer â&#x20AC;&#x153;discoveredâ&#x20AC;? the naturally photogenic Norma Jeane while she was working in a California munitions factory. â&#x20AC;˘ On May 29, 1932, the so-called Bonus Expeditionary Force, a group of 1,000
World War I veterans seeking cash payments for their veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bonus certificates, arrive in Washington, D.C. One month later, that number had swelled to nearly 20,000 strong. â&#x20AC;˘ On June 3, 1956, Santa Cruz, Calif., authorities announced a total ban on rock and roll music at public gatherings. Just two weeks later, Time magazine reported on similar bans enacted in Asbury Park, N.J., and San Antonio, Texas. â&#x20AC;˘ On June 2, 1967, Capt. Howard Levy, 30, a dermatologist from Brooklyn, is convicted by a general court-martial of willfully disobeying orders. Levy had refused to provide basic instruction in skin disease to Green Beret medics, saying it would be used as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tool of political persuasionâ&#x20AC;? in Vietnam. He did 26 months hard labor and was dismissed from the service. â&#x20AC;˘ On May 28, 1987, Matthias Rust, a 19year-old amateur pilot from West Germany, takes off from Helsinki, Finland, and travels undetected through more than 400 miles of Soviet airspace. After Rust landed his small Cessna aircraft in Red Square by the Kremlin, an American diplomat in the Soviet Union joked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe we should build a bunch of Cessnas.â&#x20AC;?

SOLVING THE GREAT VEGETABLE DEBATE
T
here is some debate about whether cooked or raw vegetables are better for you. The short answer is -- don’t choose, have both! The case for cooking vegetables: Lycopene content in tomatoes is actually increased when tomatoes are cooked. Lycopene is a phytochemical that is responsible for the red color of the tomato. Studies have linked high lycopene intake with lower risk of cancer and heart attacks. It is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants help prevent or repair damage to body cells, which is important for decreasing the risk of cancer. They also are thought to improve immune function. Cooking carrots increases the beta carotene content. Beta carotene is an antioxidant that the body converts to vitamin A, another antioxidant. It also helps promote normal vision, protect from infection and regulate the immune system. There also might be additional antioxidant activity in cooked spinach, mushrooms, asparagus, cabbage and peppers. The cooking method found to be the best for preserving antioxidants was boiling or steaming. Frying is not recommended because the antioxidants get used up in the frying process. The case for eating raw vegtables: Sometimes raw vegetables are better. For example, polyphenols, which also are antioxidants, are lost when carrots are cooked. In broccoli, heat damages the enzyme myrosinase. Myrosinase breaks down compounds in broccoli to form another compound called sulforaphane, which may kill precancerous cells. Vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant found in many of the vegetables mentioned, can be destroyed by heat. To get the best of both worlds and to put an end to the debate, it’s recommended that we alternate consumption of raw and cooked vegetables to get a variety of nutrients. This recipe for Rainbow Salad With Spicy Tomato Dressing contains both raw and cooked vegetables. There’s no debate -- this dish is great!
RAINBOW SALAD This salad keeps well in the refrigerator and makes a delicious vegetarian lunch or a side dish for dinner. Use leftover cooked and re-heated vegetables, if desired, or select the vegetables of your choice for the raw ingredients.
Cooked vegetables: 1/2 tablespoon salt for boiling water, plus 1/2 tablespoon for cold ice bath 1/2 pound green or white asparagus 1/2 pound fresh green beans, trimmed and cut in half 1 cup fresh or frozen corn 1/2 medium purple onion, thinly sliced 1 cup sweet peas, fresh or frozen 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Add salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Wash, remove tough stalks on the asparagus and cut in half. Add all of the vegetables to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. To keep vegetables crunchy and colors bright, place vegetables in bowl filled with cold water and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of the salt for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove vegetables from the water and drain. Place in large salad bowl, toss with with pepper and vinegar, and set aside.

New DVD Releases for Week of May 28, 2012 PICKS OF THE WEEK “Man on a Ledge” (PG-13) -- A man stands on the ledge of the 21st floor of a hotel, but his goal isn’t to jump. No, it’s a far more convoluted plot in which disgraced ex-cop Nick Cassidy (Sam Worthington) says he’s out on a ledge to prove he’s not the diamond thief everyone thinks he is. Already we have the key ingredients to a lukewarm thriller: a story built around a suspensebuilding gimmick and gem thievery.
While Worthington stands out there talking to the police negotiator (Elizabeth Banks), a young couple (Jamie Bell and Genesis Rodriguez) are pulling a high-tech heist. The movie fails to build much suspense, as the audience knows that Worthington is going to be on a ledge until the other plots advance far enough to give us the twist.
Fiennes just radiates that he “gets” Shakespeare and wants others to see it the way he does. He also understands that a war movie needs heart-pounding action. The characters speak in iambic pentameter about the state of Rome, but the adaptation plunges the material into our world -- where war, politics, human nature and public opinion collide just like they always have.
“Coriolanus” (R) -- Ralph Fiennes directs and stars in this bold adaptation of one of Shakespeare’s plays. The lines are the same, but the setting has been updated to a modern landscape of urban warfare. Caius Martius (Fiennes) is a Roman war hero who comes home with a thousandyard stare. His mother, Volumnia (Vanessa Redgrave), pushes him into politics, but the people of Rome reject Caius as a warmonger. Caius then teams up with his nemesis, Tullus Aufidius (Gerard Butler), to take revenge on Rome.
“We Need to Talk About Kevin” (R) -Imagine if your first child just plain hated you since the day he was born. Tilda Swinton plays a woman who puts her dreams aside to start a family, then gives birth to a son, Kevin, who is just impossibly cruel and creepy. Kevin’s father (John C. Reilly) is an affable sort who just doesn’t see it. This movie is unsettling. Rather unsettling. You might remain unsettled after the credits.
12
“Goon” (R) -- Seann William Scott plays Doug, a bouncer who wishes he had something to be proud of. In a chance encounter at a minor-league hockey game, Doug leverages his only skill -- punching people -- into a career as a professional on-ice bruiser. This lowbrow sports comedy is genuinely funny for those who can handle the violence. You can’t help but love Scott’s true-blue underdog, misguidedly trying to impress his family one fistfight at a time.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Although a relationship still seems to be moving too slowly to suit your expectations, it’s best not to push it. Let it develop at its own pace. You’ll soon get news about a workplace change. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A continually changing personal situation makes you feel as if you’re riding an emotional roller coaster. But hold on tight; stability starts to set in early next week.
by the Eagles. The band received a Grammy, even though the song only went to No. 2. 3. Roger Miller, of “Dang Me” and “England Swings” fame. Over the years, Miller was awarded a long list of Grammys. 4. Simon and Garfunkel, in 1968. The sounds repeated in the chorus are there because Simon never got around to writing words by the time they cut the song. 5. Those are the common names of Peter Gabriel’s first four albums, designated by what was on the cover. Gabriel preferred to have them numbered instead, as in I, II, III and IV. 6. Daryl Hall and John Oates, in 1982.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Believe it or not, someone might dare to say “No!” to the Regal One’s suggestion. But instead of being miffed, use this rebuff to recheck the proposition and, perhaps, make some changes. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might find it difficult to make a decision about a family matter. But delay can only lead to more problems. Seek out trusted counsel and then make that important decision.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Although the conflicts seem to be letting up, you still need to be wary of being drawn into workplace intrigues. Plan a special weekend event for family and/or friends. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your quick wit helps you work through an already difficult situation without creating more problems. Creative aspects begin to dominate by the week’s end. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Be patient. You’ll soon receive news about a project that means so much to you. Meanwhile, you might want to reconsider a suggestion you previously turned down. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) There are still some aspects about that new job offer you need to resolve. In the meantime, another possibility seems promising. Be sure to check that out as well. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Opening up your emotional floodgates could leave you vulnerable to being hurt later on. Watch what you say, in order to avoid having your words come back to haunt you. BORN THIS WEEK: You’re usually the life of the party, which gets you on everyone’s invitation list. You also have a flair for politics.

LIVING GOD’S GIFTS bringing Christ into your financial life
ARE YOU PRO-LIFE?
by Chuck Maher, CFP®
WHAT ABOUT YOUR INVESTMENTS?
...BRING CHRIST INTO OUR FINANCIAL LIVES
WHAT TO DO
T
he markets have been on a rollercoaster ride; up through the first part of the year and then over the last few days down with a vengeance – ending up not much better or worse from where they started. We are living in a chaotic time, and the question I hear most from investors is “what should I do?” The answer for many is simply – nothing…well almost nothing. Here are a few thoughts you may want to consider. Now is a good time to revisit your financial plan and goals. What is it that you want out of life? And how do your investments support that vision? If you have not made the time to set a goal and develop a plan to bring it to life, now is the time, before you do anything else. Next, revisit your investments. Forget about the current price or how much you are up or down. Ask yourself, why did you buy them in the first place? What were you trying to achieve? Many times we buy investments for all the wrong reasons and then wonder

why they did not work out. Investing is not about getting rich, chasing the highest returns, or beating some index. It is about meeting the financial requirements necessary to achieve your dreams. Make sure your investments support those dreams. Finally, turn off the television. When your plan is in place and your investments support your goals, there is not much more you can do. The market is what the market is and of that you have no control. The best we can do is develop a portfolio that can take advantage of the opportunities the market presents when it presents them. The TV shows, the grocery store magazines, and the market gurus add so little to a well thought out plan. They just seem to make you feel like it will only get worse when the news is bad and that whatever you are doing is not good enough when the news is good. Life is too short to stress over that which you have no control. When you have put your plan in place with investments that support your goals the best thing you can do is probably nothing. Well maybe pick up a good book, put your feet up and enjoy the ride.
