Adjacent to the entrance driveway for a Wal-Mart Supercenter, the Baptist Church message board reminds drivers-by to "Pray for miners and families," a message that was seen throughout the weekend at gas stations, supermarkets, and churches everywhere. The sentiment refers to the 29 deaths of the April 5 disaster at Upper Big Branch mine, a Massey Energy subsidiary that was cited for 1,342 safety violations in the past 5 years.
