The Big Sandy Mountaineer -

Sometimes in life, things seem to fall into place. That would seem to be the case with new Big Sandy High School English teacher Shaela Wallen. Her boyfriend Drew Shanafelt had just been offered a job from local Bob Quinn to take over operations of "The Oil Barn" here in Big Sandy. Shaela had a desire to start pursuing a career in teaching and put to use her degree in English Education from the University of Montana in Missoula. It just so happened Big Sandy needed a new English teacher, so after some discussion, the two decided, "Why not, let's give it a try."
