Barboursville CVB gets new director

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com

The Cabell Midland football team practices plays to gear up for the 2014-2015 season.

Cabell Midland ready to reload

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Shortly after the first practice session ended on a rain soaked afternoon, Cabell Midland head coach Luke Salmons sat alone behind his office desk, as players and coaches filed past him into the locker room he quipped “we have a lot of unproven kids, but they’re good kids.”

It’s no surprise that he expects nothing but the best from his squad coming into the 2014

season. Only two years removed from making the AAA state title game, Midland should be one of the top programs in the state once again. They finished last season at 9-3 overall.

Salmons and his staff feel confident in the group of young players they’ve coached this offseason, but he also said they’re unproven and haven’t had to play much when the game is on the line.

Cabell Midland has lost 25 seniors from a year ago and they

lost nearly the exact same amount the year before that. About 25 seniors will return again this year.

“We feel good about our program and where it’s at,” Salmons said. “To have twenty-five seniors’ play and graduate from a year ago is a great thing, but we always have big shoes to fill here.”

The Village of Barboursville hired an executive director for its newly formed convention and visitors bureau.

The unanimous decision by Barboursville council came after a short executive session during the Aug. 5 meeting. After the vote Barboursville Mayor Paul Turman turned to the new Barboursville Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Brandi Beasley and welcomed her into the fold.

“I’m very Beasley excited,” Beasley said after the meeting. “The (CVB) board gave me a lot of ideas about what they’re looking for and what they’d like to see. I’m going to get out in the community and talk to some businesses and my first event will be Fall Fest, so I’ll be very active in planning and executing that event.

“After that, I’d like to bring

more business to the community and more media coverage.”

Beasley’s first day on the new job will be Sept. 1. She said her short term goals include the improvement of events in the community as well as allowing more media access. Long-term goals include bringing more conventions into the area and adding new events to the village calendar.

“I’m just looking forward to getting started,” she said. “I love meeting new people and I think it’s going to be a huge part of my job, so I’m ready to get started with that.”

Beasley previously served as entertainment manager for Big Sandy Superstore Arena in Huntington. She organized, planned and booked all of Big Sandy events. She said her former duties and responsibilities will help guide her in her role as executive director.

Beasley also has a volunteer position with the Generation Huntington Leadership Committee. In the volunteer role she is responsible for monitoring members and posting all available volunteer opportunities in the area.

Cabell Sheriff’s department addresses drug problem

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com The Cabell County Sheriff’s Department is looking beyond its own manpower when it comes to making a dent in Cabell County’s drug crime.

Sheriff Tom McComas said his deputies work with law enforcement departments throughout the county, including the FBI, to make sure the drug problem is addressed effectively.

“We act as a force multiplier for any unit that needs it,” McComas said.

“The Ona Field Office is purposefully

located centrally in the county so we can respond to wherever that needs it.”

McComas said the act of increasing manpower alone can often yield results when it comes to drug crime. A crime he said is so spread out over the county that it would be impossible for one agency to handle alone.

“If you have more officers, you’re going to have more people to put boots on the street,” he said. “Obviously if you have more people on a task, you’re going to be more successful.”

That, said McComas, is one of the reasons the Cabell County Drug

Taskforce has been increasingly successful at stifling the drug dealers in the county. The taskforce is a crossjurisdictional cooperation between local, state and federal level law enforcement agencies.

“We have one full time and one part time deputy on the taskforce,” he said. “You have to work cooperatively on a lot of stuff. That’s something the public is not going to know, but we’re doing it.”

McComas said the taskforce uses

Cabell Huntington & St. Mary’s Cabell Huntington in affiliation discussions August activities

Cabell Huntington Hospital, Inc., and Pallottine Health Services, Inc. are discussing a potential acquisition by Cabell Huntington Hospital of St. Mary’s Medical Center.

Both organizations believe that combining will benefit the community by improving quality, access and affordability in the delivery of healthcare services. They are currently in the initial steps of a process that will occur over an extended period of time aimed at bringing the two organizations together.

“Cabell Huntington Hospital continuously seeks strategic partnerships and collaborations with providers and entities to prepare for population health management, increase access and manage the cost of health care,” said Brent A. Marsteller, Chief Executive Officer, Cabell Huntington Hospital.

“We are extremely excited about the potential of a close working relationship with St. Mary’s Medi-

cal Center as we see this as critical to delivering the highest quality care in the most cost effective and efficient manner. In the meantime, we will continue to operate both hospitals independently.”

“The Pallottine Sisters have worked for 90 years to make St. Mary’s Medical Center what it is today,” said Michael Sellards, Chief Executive Officer, St. Mary’s Medical Center.

“However, healthcare reform has caused hospitals throughout the nation to look at ways to meet the future challenge of healthcare. In addition, with the changing climate of healthcare and fewer Sisters to oversee our healthcare ministries, the Pallottine Missionary Sisters made the decision to end their sponsorship of St. Mary’s Medical Center.

“We are pleased to explore a partnership with Cabell Huntington Hospital as we believe that by combining our complementary strengths, we can both significantly

improve our ability to meet the healthcare needs of the region, and provide better care more efficiently.”

Cabell Huntington Hospital is a 303-bed academic medical center located in Huntington, West Virginia. Cabell Huntington is home to the Hoops Family Children’s Hospital and the Edwards Comprehensive Cancer Center and cares for patients from more than 29 counties throughout West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio. Opened in 1956, it is affiliated with Marshall University Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy and Nursing.

St. Mary’s Medical Center is the largest private employer in Cabell County, with more than 2600 employees. At 393 beds, it is among the largest healthcare facilities in West Virginia, with centers of excellence in cardiac care, cancer treatment, emergency/ trauma services, neuroscience, and joint replacement.

boursville Convention and Visitors Bureau will redirect about $100,000 a year which now goes to the Cabell-Huntington Convention and Visitors Bureau. Six area hotels and motels collect about $200,000 a year in occupancy taxes, about half of that goes to the county CVB, while the other half goes to village government.

The creation of the Barboursville CVB means the local agency will receive the full $200,000.

The loss of occupancy tax from Barboursville means the CabellHuntington CVB will have to absorb a $100,000 cut to a budget that normally runs around $600,000 a year.

The two organizations plan to cooperate on community events and projects such as the upcoming multistate youth soccer tournament that will be held at the Barboursville Park in 2015 and 2016. The tournament often packs hotels and motels in the area.

Also during the Aug. 5 council meeting members discussed several housing authority recommendations. Ann Reed will replace Paula Seay as the chair of the housing authority. Donna Kitchen was recommended for the position of Vice Chairman, replacing Reed.

Sharon Hockenberry will replace Nancy Setzer as commissioner. All board positions are five-year terms.

CVB From Page 1 When asked what should be expected out of her, the Barboursville resident said she just wants fellow community residents to give her a little time to get things moving in the right direction.

“Mostly the job involves organization, getting everything planned, getting volunteers that are willing to execute projects and then just the actual execution of those projects,” she said. “Giving information out to local media about what we are doing and why we want to bring people in to attend.

“Just give me a little time to get acquainted with everyone and let me show what I can do.”

We were talking the other day at work about some people in Ohio who go into the city where drug addicts are and make a meal for the people so they will know someone cares for them and shows them the love of Christ. These people are moved with compassion.

Most of us do have compassion, but it is when we put that compassion into action that the compassion takes hold of us and moves us more. We should be more moved with compassion. So the next time the thought of sending a card or note comes into your mind, just do it.

Let us all work on ourselves to be more compassionate and just send that card.

Beulah Ann Missionary Baptist Church hosted its homecoming the first Sunday in August.

Beulah Ann Missionary hosts Homecoming Members of the Cabell Midland football team ran through conditioning drills during a rain soaked afternoon.

Football From Page 1 1,000 yards last season. Midland has also lost three of five starting offensive linemen, including AllState performer Cody Ballengee and three-year starter Tanner Chatman. Salmons seems confident the Knights’ will be able reload up front, however.

“The kids behind the guys we lost are good, they just haven’t had to play,” he said. “We haven’t had to play any sophomores the past three years, other than maybe a couple here and there, so it’s just kind of a wait and see process.”

Right now the coaching staff is working on developing depth and making sure multiple guys are prepared to open the season on Aug. 29, against Riverside. Salmons said the team has really put in the time and effort this off-season.

“I think they’re way ahead of a lot of teams, but we don’t want to be like a lot of teams,” he said.

“This will be the first class we’ve had all four years since I’ve been here, they’ve won thirty games in three years, so we’re close to being

really good.”

Cabell Midland quarterback Coy Pettit returns under center. His experience should help to ease the transition up front for the three new starting linemen.

Both of the Knights’ regular season losses came on the road last season at Huntington and at Capital.

The team will have both of those matchups at home this season, as well as another home meeting with rival Spring Valley during week nine.

The offense will again be predicated on the run game, which is how Midland has exploited opponents in years’ past.

“We’ve been able to run the ball effectively and control the game,” Salmons said. “The past two years we’ve had three running backs gain one-thousand yards and five of them are playing division one football right now.”

Salmons credits the offensive scheme with helping the backs pile up so many yards.

“We feel like running the ball fits our kids and they’ve been used to it, so we’re getting better which is the main thing,” he said. “We just have to enjoy the ride.”

Defensively, the Knights’ have five or six kids that have played or started a lot of minutes from last season and three or four more of them who’ve played a lot.

On special teams, Salmons feels like the kicking game will be sharp with two kickers returning. He said they’ve put in tons of time working on special teams play going into the season.

With the first matchup steadily approaching, Salmons knows his team is a dedicated bunch, but only time will tell just how successful they’ll be in 2014.

“I feel like we’re going to be good, I just don’t know how good,” he said. “We play a tough schedule and there are a lot of teams that can beat us any given week in our conference, but we’re confident because we know our kids have worked hard.”

The first Sunday of August is set aside for the annual homecoming of Beulah Ann Missionary Baptist Church.

This year special music was provided by the Bobby Bowen Family from Greenbrier, Tenn.

The group’s ministry can be found online at www.bobbybowen.com.

Each of their six children are talented singers and musicians.

After the morning service those attending were dismissed to the family center for the homecoming meal. Long rows of tables were set up for the food.

Much of it was prepared from

vegetables locally grown. Another row of tables was set up for the delicious desserts prepared by ladies of the church.

The family center building and new foyer were added in 1999 and includes space for five classrooms and church offices.

The church was founded in 1874 when a delegation from the Mud River Baptist Church went into the “wilderness of Cabell County” to start the new church. It was named after the wives of two founding ministers, Beulah Perry and Ann Hawkins.

Big Brothers Big Sisters celebrates 40 years

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Tri-State Area is gearing up for another strong recruiting season after a successful fundraising filled summer.

The Huntington non-profit will celebrate its 40th anniversary in Huntington this year.

“We work with children who are facing adversity by providing a mentor, somebody who will provide support and guidance,” said Executive Director Patti Price. “It’s just a matter of getting them out and spending quality time doing something they both enjoy.”

Big Brothers Big Sisters currently has a school-based and a community-based program for children ages six to 18.

With the school-based program, children are paired with a mentor who meets with them once per week during a time the school provides.

In the community-based pro-

gram, mentors pick up the child from their house and spend time with each other in the community.

The minimal requirement for this program is twice per month, with three to four hours spent together during each outing.

Price said relationships between mentors and their “little” brother or sister grows quickly.

“We see that their relationship becomes strong and steady,” she said. “Children see they can depend on their mentors. Often time, they have had personal situations where they have been let down.

“There might not be a consistent person in their lives other than in the program.”

Price said children in need of mentors are referred to the group through their school guidance counselors and social service agencies from around the county.

Most of the children come from lower socio-economic families and families without two parents in the home.

“These are tough times for chil-

dren for many reasons,” Price said.

“Due to the adverse circumstances they are facing, we are trying to steer them in a positive direction.”

Price said studies have shown that children in the program tend to have better school attendance and achieve higher scores.

Additionally, a survey completed by Harris Interactive found that 90 percent of participants said their big brother or sister made them feel better about themselves and 81 percent said the mentor caused them to change what they thought possible in life.

“I just think everyone needs someone to believe in them and everyone needs someone to encourage them,” Price said. “You know someone is there for yousomebody has your back. Sometimes that’s all it takes to make a difference.”

About 150 children participate in Big Brothers Big Sisters each year. The organization will begin its recruitment of mentors when Marshall is back in session,

RCBI Earns National Recognition The nation’s manufacturers have endorsed the career skills programs offered by the Robert C. Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing. The Manufacturing Institute named RCBI to the prestigious “M-List,” which recognizes organizations that teach specific industry-validated manufacturing skills.

RCBI was recognized for its machinist technology, welding and robotics courses. Students are eligible to earn certifications from the National Institute for Metalworking Skills, the American Welding Society and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. An option in each RCBI program enables students to earn an Associate in Applied

Science degree by completing additional course work through a local community and technical college.

“We are excited to join the MList – and especially pleased to be the first organization in West Virginia to do so,” said Charlotte Weber, RCBI’s director and CEO. “Industry standards are essential in developing the proper skills and enhancing the expertise of men and women who make things in America.

“Great things are happening in manufacturing, and we’re proud to work in partnership with the Manufacturing Institute to ensure a skilled workforce is available to industry.”

The partnership is another in a

continuing series of RCBI commitments to industry-recognized skills sets, formally begun in 1999 with RCBI’s recognition by the National Institute for Metalworking Skills.

RCBI operates Advanced Manufacturing Technology Centers in Huntington, Charleston and Bridgeport. It provides businesses large and small with the technology, expertise and training to remain at the forefront of innovation in an increasingly global economy.

A nonprofit affiliate of the National Association of Manufacturers, the Manufacturing Institute is the authority on the attraction, qualification and development of manufacturing talent.

said Josh Webb, Huntington Area School Based Case Manager.

“Our school based program would like to have 45-50 new matches this year,” he said. “We would specifically like more male and diverse volunteers, as well as retirees.”

Webb said recruitment efforts involve attending resourcing fairs, sending emails, speaking engagements and general community awareness.

“We always need mentors for both programs,” Price said. “Volunteers are crucial to what we do. We could not serve children without volunteer involvement. They’re very valuable and very much appreciated.”

To be a mentor for the schoolbased program, volunteers must be at least 18 and have their own transportation. To be a mentor for the community-based program, volunteers must be at least 19 and own a vehicle.

Volunteers for each program must submit an application, agree

to a background check and provide multiple references. Those interested in the community-based program also must have a home-visit and allow background checks on any other adults living in the home.

After mentors are approved, Big Brother Big Sister staff finds a child who will match well with the mentor.

“A lot of it is based on interests and personalities,” Price said. “It’s like any other relationship – in the beginning, you’re putting two strangers together. A lot of it goes into the staff having that wisdom to make a good match. It’s a process.

“We encourage people to do this who have a concern for the well being of children and want to see them succeed,” she said. “People who really want to make a difference. It’s just a wonderful program to be involved in. I believe in what we do.”

Those interested in volunteering should contact Case Manager Brittany Stanley at 304-522-2192 or visit www.bbbstristate.org.

School board considers free lunches for all

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The Cabell County Board of Education will consider providing free lunches to all students during an annual board retreat scheduled later this month.

That didn’t prohibit school board members from discussing it during its regular meeting on Aug. 5.

According to the USDA, the Hunger Free Kids Act of 2010 created a Community Eligibility Provision allowing school districts with at least 40 percent of their students eligible for free lunch to offer all students free lunch.

While the previously eligible students, which Food Services Director Rhonda McCoy said amounts to 55 percent of the total student base, will still be subsidized, participating districts pay the rest of the bill themselves.

Thus making it Cabell County’s decision whether the expenditure is prudent.

“We really believe that it would put our program in the red,” said Assistant Superintendent Mike O’Dell after the meeting. “We would eliminate all our paid students. There are a lot of ramifications if that takes place.”

O’Dell said they would have to find other ways to cut costs, one possibility being staffing cuts.

He said the the volume of food cooked per staff member would then dramatically increase, something he believes will hurt the program.

“The bottom line is we have to look at numbers,” O’Dell said.

“They’re going to have to prove to me that we won’t be in the red.”

Board member Skip Parsons

Assistant Superintendent Mike O’Dell shows the board of education the “under construction” t-shirt distributed by Culloden staff.

Culloden will be under construction until winter of 2015. said he believes the benefit will far outweigh the cost.

“I believe that attendance will improve, that grades will improve and that the children will be happy,” he said to his fellow board members. “No child should sit in a classroom without being fed.”

“We never ever let anyone go hungry,” O’Dell said.

He said the county’s billing system will send a bill to parents if a child uses the lunch line, but nonpayment will only effect the parent, not the child’s ability to eat lunch.

Parsons said free lunches for all students are his primary objective, however.

“If we get this, I’ll get on this desk and boogey down,” Parsons said, laughing with board members.

In other school board news: * An update on construction projects revealed the county is over budget by over $6 million for the expeditionary school construction.

Most of the cost is coming from the cost of construction, which after originally being budgeted for $6.97 million is now estimated to run the county about $13.29 million.

“We are trying to deduct what we can without effecting the program,” O’Dell said to the board.

“We wanted to be upfront with you- we’re over budget. We’ll go back and work on it and we’ll come back to you with the best plan that we can.” * Other building projects addressed at the meeting included Culloden and Salt Rock Elementary. Culloden is undergoing a large-scale transformation as the entire front of the building gets replaced, something O’Dell said the community is standing behind fully.

“They just didn’t think that Culloden, that far out in the county, would get anything,” he said.

Salt Rock received an indoor facelift, O’Dell said, through the installation of a new drop ceiling

trying to evade arrest by crossing the Ohio River.

“It crosses all jurisdictions and boundaries,” he said. “You have to have a share mentality. It would be very unwise to think of it in another way.”

Despite their efforts to find dealers, McComas said that the criminal activity of average users is what is seen most.

“Obviously we arrest more people when they are under the influence of drugs when they commit criminal acts than when they sell it,” he said.

McComas said a lot of these activities are property crimes, addicts stealing property in order to trade for drugs.

“They’ve moved more into a barter system,” he said. “That breeds shoplifting and property crimes. It’s all interconnected. You have to perceive it as a living thing.

They alter their means of doing business.”

One of the ways the Sherriff’s Department is cutting down deal-

ers’ means of doing business is a countywide marijuana eradication on Aug. 21.

“We strongly recommend that if anyone knows any area that marijuana is growing, let us know,” he said. “We welcome those kind of calls. Marijuana is illegal and usually where you find people using it, they are using other drugs, too. It impairs judgment and breeds other criminal activity.”

While any calls about marijuana fields will be taken care of on eradication day, McComas said citizens shouldn’t expect other tips to be taken care of so quickly.

“We have to have enough evidence to convict them with a crime,” he said. “We have to try to build a case against the individual.

It’s a lengthy process and rightfully so – the constitution protects us all from unlawful searches and seizures.

“I know some people get frustrated, but people need to know that law enforcement gets frustrated, too.”

Cabell County Board Member Skip Parsons asked the operations department to figure out a way to provide free lunch to all Cabell County Students. and repainting.

“It’s just amazing what a difference you can make in a school,” he said. “There’s a lot of pride out there in Salt Rock.” * The board also unanimously approved a salary increase for Superintendent Bill Smith to better match the annual raises given to superintendents of similar districts

around the state.

The raise amounts to a five percent increase to the remaining three years of his contract, a total increase of $21,599. * The Cabell County Board of Education will meet for a regular meeting at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 19. For more updates follow on twitter @CabellCountySchools .

Sheriff From Page 1 something called “deconfliction,” a system which tells deputies taking a call if the person is already under investigation by another department.

“It makes sure we’re not wasting resources,” he said. “It’s a good thing they’re actually working together. It’s just a good working relationship so they act as force multipliers to each other.”

Another activity in which the different departments work together is called “interdiction.” This is a system where certain roads are saturated with officers trained to detect signs of drug dealers on route to sell. Several deputies underwent training to do this successfully.

“We’ve been doing this about six weeks,” McComas said. “We have high hopes. You have to work cooperatively to be successful.”

County jurisdictions are not the only allies in fighting drug crime, McComas said. The Sheriff’s Department works heavily with the Ohio State Police to capture dealers

The Sheriff’s Department’s Field Office in Ona is located near the center of the county, allowing deputies to access the county quickly when needed. Sheriff Tom McComas said this is particularly useful when they are working on interdiction with other departments.

McComas said he will soon unveil a new method for citizens with smart phones to anonymously submit tips to the department. He expects to release the information before the end of August.

“We have to have the public’s help,” he said. “We can’t do it without the public’s help.”

To report suspicious activity or to submit a tip about marijuana growth, call 911.

The USA Stars 16 and up team won its first four games defeating Minnesota Magic Gold, North Carolina Elite, North California Impact and St. Louis Diamond Cats. The team suffered an unfortunate loss to the Hanover Lady Hornets ending the players’ championship hopes.

“You could tell the loss hit everyone right in the gut,” Skeens said. “We knew we were a better team. We didn’t have a great game

at the plate, but we all took our hats off to the other pitcher. She was great.”

Still, the team boasts great memories and a companionship that rivals anything the girls have had before, Marsh said.

“We’re lucky on our team because we have four great pitchers that have different strengths,” she said. “We all get along and we are always ready to come in when we are needed whether it is to start the game or finish.”

The strength of the team can be

found in the hearts of all the players who love the game. One of those players is Markham.

Unfortunately, she spent the last four weeks recovering from a sprained MCL. She would have normally played centerfield or first base, but due to her injury, she was benched. She stepped up to the plate and batted, however. Earlier in the season she had a walk-off grand slam against the Minnesota Renegades.

“I think right now is my favorite part is being on this team,” she said

before the team’s loss to Hanover.

“What’s better than being at nationals and representing West Virginia and being undefeated?”

Skeens added, “We couldn’t have asked for a better team. We are great friends on and off the field. We go to dinner, movies and other stuff. We all worked great together and the parents were all great.”

Markham acknowledged that being injured was tough.

“But getting big hits and getting runs in makes it a lot easier to deal with,” she said. “It bothers me to not be able to be in the field with the girls but in the long run, it’s best for me to heal. Plus, I know my girls can get the job done without me.”

The girls will continue to play in tournaments and move around the area, Skeens said. The teamwork will continue to bolster their attitudes and friendships.

“I really could consider them family,” Skeens said. “One of the best teams I have traveled with.

We all group message and though we’ve only been home for three days, I miss them so much. We are a family.”

When she gets back to Poca to play behind the plate, Skeens will give her all.

“My goal is to give 100 percent,” she said. “I will do whatever to help the team and this off-season, I will work to improve my game.”
