Dr. Miller the choice
for Citizen of the Year
By Nancy $. Hoffman
Each year the City of King-
wood nominates an outstanding
member of the community to be
honored as Citizen of the Year.
Earlier this month at the Craig
Civic Center, a crowd of well
wishers honored Timothy Mill-
er, MD. Civic minded opening
remarks were given by King-
wood Mayor Jim Lobb. Fred-
rick Conley II gave an invoca-
tion noting the many God-given
talents of this years' honoree.
The invocation was followed
by a solo by Ann Freeland Nine,
a staff worker for the City of
Kingwood. Her first solo was
"Turn Up the Music." This song
was appropriately chosen for the
occasion. It described the work
and patience it takes to produce
wonderful music. Dr. Miller can
make beautiful tunes with a fid-
dle...to mention a few old-time
favorites, Red Wing, Golden
Slippers, Irish Washerwoman,
Orange Blossom Special, and
more. Next Mayor Lobb asked
for volunteer remarks from the
audience.

Book Fest set
On Sunday, October 23, the
West Virginia Book Festival
will offer two back-to-back
programs for literature lovers
and aspiring writers presented
by literature professors from
Alderson-Broaddus College
and Virginia Tech.
Barbara Smith, Emerita Pro-
fessor of Literature and Writing
at Alderson-Broaddus College,
presents "What Under the Sun
Is a Poem" at 11:30 a.m. at the
Charleston Civic Center.
At 1 p.m., aspiring writers can
learn more about writing "The
First Hundred Words" from
Cheryl Ruggiero, Sue Hage-
darn and Su Clauson-Wicker.
Ruggiero said that the first 100
employee of Preston Memorial
Hospital, was first to volunteer
remarks. She stated she had
hoped she would get to speak.
In her remarks she remembered
when Dr. Miller and his family
first came to town, and how im-
mediately the family became
involved with the community.
When Preston High was first
being planned, Dr. Miller pre-
pared a slide show to take to
various clubs to discuss those
plans. He was invited to the Salt
Lick Valley Grange to present a
program. His opening remarks
were; "I have three reasons why
I want this plan to become a re-
ality".., and he named his three
sons. That left a lasting impres-
sion. Following more remarks,
Hoffman ended with, "Dr. Mill-
er, I appreciate you!"
Nita Bishop spoke on how
very thoroughly Dr. Miller
thought out his reasons and ac-
tions, While performing his du-
ties as a member of the Board
of Education. She also extended
her appreciation for knowing
Dr, Miller.
Eugene Jenkins reviewed his
experience as a member of the
Board of Education with Dr.
Miller, in which a lengthy meet-
ing continued into the wee hours
of the morning. It was believed
Dr. Miller was perhaps asleep in
his swivel chair, however upon
hearing his name called his feet
flew into the air and he came to
attention.
Mary Frances Burge, Ann
Robb, Kathy Mace and Nell
Reed gave individual remarks
from their family's medical
experiences at the hand of Dr.
Miller. In each case an outpour-
ing of support was expressed.
Cheryl Stump, RN, and Tom
Peterson, CRNA ,each gave
hem-warming stories of their
experience while working with
Dr. Miller at PMH.

grass at different sports fields in
Kingwood, so he inquired who
it was and was advised it was
Dr. Miller.
Karen Bright gave an entirely
different side of Dr. Miller. She
has the privilege of listening to
his sermons at the Church of
Christ on each fourth Sunday,
and noted how those sermons
really get you thinking.
With the completion of the
volunteer remarks from the au-
dience, Dr. Miller took the stage
with spirit and humor.
Just to note a few comments,
he started with the statement,
"what did I do as a citizen of
Kingwood to deserve this?"
Then he went into a description
of citizenship. Right after it was
announced he had been awarded
the Citizen of the Year, he was
sitting at the picnic tables in his
back yard and looked up into a
maple tree. He saw a single leaf
on the top of the tree, and then
his eye went to the other leaves,
and he surmised all leaves on
a tree are related by their com-
mon connection. That is true of

honoring Dr. Miller with the
song, "Turn Up the Music."
citizenship.
To be a good citizen, you have
to give up something. So, you
give up some things to help oth-
ers .... like mowing the grass at
community schools.
He went on to talk about his
property and that as a citizen
you do your best to keep up
the property, He identified his
house as the gray house on the
corner, Someone once told him
he should put vinyl siding on the
house. He felt the popu!ar wood
siding had been on the house for
more than 100 years and it still
looked fight nice with a coat of
paint. He told about planting
500 tulip bulbs and how deep
the soil needed to be worked,
so he was in front of his house
working up the soil and sud-
denly a car came screeching to
a halt.
The driver asked, Doc what
are you doing, digging a grave?
He replied, "no, I am just do-
ing my civic duty to improve
my property." Dr. Miller said
it does not matter who you are.
You are demonstrating citizen-
ship if you can do something for
your town or for others. We all
have a part to play as a citizen,
to be responsible, and to edu-
cate ourselves to what is hap-
pening in our community.
Ann Freeland Nine presented
the closing with a solo entitled,
"Thank You."
City of Kingwood employees,
Martha Moore and Kathy Whet-
sell served refreshments as the
crowd continued to bestow their
appreciation to Citizen of the
year, Dr. Timothy Miller.
