Schools still feel impact of Oliver

Architects incorporated some of the old bricks into the design of the new Culloden Elementary School. The new addition will open in December 2015.

County unveils Culloden design

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

Culloden Elementary School teachers are gearing up for an interesting year, including moving several classrooms into modulars located behind the building.

The two modulars, each holding two classrooms, allow construction crews to continue working on the front of the building, where the 1933 face is being

updated to a more modern look.

“It will be fully functional the first day of school,” said Assistant Superintendent Mike O’Dell, supervisor of the operations department. “But just like everything you do, to fix up you have to tear up. The front is going to be really ugly for a while.”

Superintendent Bill Smith said while having children in the building during construction isn’t preferable, it’s a necessity to get

the project finished.

“We are now at the point that we’ve been very efficient in the district so we don’t have a lot of extra space,” he said. “So now when we build, it will usually be sometime when students are there.”

O’Dell said the goal for the entire project is 18 months, which would put its completion date in fall of next year. He said See Culloden, Page 3

It has been four years since Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution first aired in the United States, but Rhonda McCoy, Cabell County Schools’ Food Service Coordinator, still receives hate mail on a regular basis.

“There were emails from the whole nation,” she said. “There were emails coming from every place just blasting us. I’m still getting emails.”

McCoy said the angry emails are unfounded as she was misrepresented on Oliver’s reality show.

The reality show, which aired from March to April, 2010, followed Oliver’s attempts to make Cabell County School meals healthier.

Mike O’Dell, Assistant Superintendent in charge of operations, said the show ignored facts about the nutritional content of school lunches, choosing to make grand gestures for the sake of television drama instead.

“I think West Virginia and Huntington were portrayed horrible,” he said. “We had a really good food service department prior to Jamie Oliver coming. It was just

an overall misrepresentation of what we do in the school system.”

McCoy, who was frequently featured on the show, signed a confidentiality agreement and was unable to discuss the particulars that happened behind the scenes.

O’Dell opted not to sign the agreement, however.

McCoy said the county had exceeded the state’s nutritional requirements for years prior to Oliver’s show. Cabell schools incorporated programs such as Farm to Food, a fact that was ignored in the show.

“West Virginia exceeded the FDA requirements,” O’Dell said.

“There were a lot of inaccuracies in the show we were not allowed to correct. It hurt us. It hurt our image and it hurt us financially.”

One of the more memorable moments of the show was a segment in which Oliver ground up the See Oliver , Page 4

Three new businesses move into the city of Milton

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com Milton is proving to be an attractive location for new businesses, something Mayor Tom Canterbury said is not going to stop anytime soon.

“We’re doing well,” he said. “We’re just an all around good city.”

Three new businesses, CVS Pharmacy, Snap Fitness and Taco Bell, will all soon have homes in Milton. This follows on the heels of the recently opened Barnyard Barbeque. Huntingtonized Federal Credit Union also has

its new branch ready to open.

“I’m really pleased with the town with how much it has grown,” Canterbury said. “It has grown tremendously – it really has. Come on down, drive through and take a look around at it. I think you’ll be impressed.”

According to Serenity Day Spa Owner Kristy Ferguson, Milton’s government is a huge resource for local business owners. Ferguson opened the spa in Milton about a year and a half ago.

“Anything I need, I just go and ask and they help find it for me,” she

said. “It’s been absolutely incredible.”

Ferguson said in the short time they’ve been open, she has seen both an outpour of support as well as a tremendous growth.

“We’re just going like crazy,” she said. “I love the city – they’re so supportive of me. I take a lot of pride in being part of the community.”

Barnyard Barbeque Regional Manager Kellie Matusic said she has seen a similar experience, although she has only been open about three weeks.

CVS Pharmacy, Taco Bell and Snap Fitness will soon See Milton, Page 5 have homes in Milton.

Bell Tower Contract Changes Approved

By Jim Ross For The Cabell Standard

Repairing the bell tower and cupola on the Cabell County Courthouse will cost almost $100,000 more than expected.

In a special meeting July 30, county commissioners approved a proposal by Angelina Stone & Marble of St. Clairsville, Ohio, to do additional work on the structure to ensure its safety.

The work will cost the county $98,900 on top of the $246,725 contract the commission signed earlier this summer.

“It was a safety issue and a liability to the county,” said county Manager Chris Tatum. Tatum said the steel in the bell tower was so badly corroded that it could have collapsed, sending the 2,500-pound courthouse bell falling into the courthouse basement.

Commissioner Bob Bailey objected to the added cost. He said the problems with the structural steel and other deficiencies in the bell tower should have been caught during an inspection before the contract was advertised and awarded.

Among other things, the change order to the contract includes replacing structural steel that has rusted away, repairing the part of the courthouse dome where the bell tower is attached, placing new gold leaf on the dome and abating lead during the repair work.

Some of the steel beams holding the structure in place had sustained heavy rust damage in the century since the bell was put in place. Several of the beams had large holes in them. One had rusted away until it was thinner than a pencil.

The state is providing $100,000 toward the repairs through the Courthouse Facilities Improvement Authority. The county is paying the remainder of the cost.

In other matters at the special meeting, the commission received a report from County Clerk Karen Cole saying the county ended the 2013-14 fiscal year with a carryover of $194,450 greater than expected.

The commission also approved a Judicial Assistance Grant Program grant of $75,000 to pay the salaries of two police officers and one deputy for the Drug Task Force.

Culloden From Page 1 the classrooms should be back in the building after Christmas at the latest.

“There is some inconvenience now, but they’re going to get a great place,” O’Dell said. “Parents are going to want to enroll their kids at Culloden Elementary.”

Created with the input of a design committee, school officials and central office, the new design includes large amounts of natural light, as well as a new media room and gymnasium.

The external part of the building will incorporate some of the old bricks into the new, something O’Dell said will help preserve the community significance of the building.

“This building is going to have a lot of curb appeal,” he said.

“We’re incorporating some of the old building into the new. It’s still very much a community school, but it’s now going to improve property values.”

Superintendent Bill Smith said the community has been supportive of the project since the beginning.

“We start with the end result in mind,” he said. “I think the community is excited about the new construction. They’ve had a new building behind that face for years, and this will really show. It’ll be

Work crews prep the site to build the new school. kind of more of a show case for kids to come to. It will be very inviting and that’s what we want our schools to be, aesthetically pleasing as well as having inviting adults there for them.”

As well as being inviting, O’Dell said the building will be able to keep with changing technology.

“Technology is now a big part of education,” O’Dell said. “We’re trying to make the building flexible enough to keep the technology up to standard. We couldn’t provide that before.”

More importantly, he said, the building will be healthier and more secure, as an improved HVAC unit will create better and fresher air flow and the office will not be located near the front door of the building, enabling administrators to keep the front door locked at all times.

O’Dell said he is personally invested in the project, as well. “I’ve enjoyed all of my projects, but this one is particularly satisfying for personal reasons,” he said. “I’m just tickled for the community.”

The project will cost a total of about $7.5 million, $2.5 million of which came from state assistance.

O’Dell said the project is currently on budget.

“I think Cabell County is pretty prudent with spending,” he said.

“We try to spend tax payers’ money wisely. I think they trust us – I certainly hope so.”

Culloden Elementary is one of three building projects in the operations department right now. Operations is also installing a new HVAC system in the Career and Technical School as well as working on the building for the Expeditionary Learning School.

Milton High School Class of 1962 holds reunion

Weekly Devotional Submitted by Mary Jane “Back To School’’ Thought for the week: Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise; which having no guide, over-seer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest. Proverbs 6: 6, 7, 8 (KJV) Once again school is back in session. If you have ever talked to someone who was homeschooled, you will realize in just a few minutes of conversation how very well educated they are. They are very interesting to converse with and they hold interest in you. Parents who take time to train up a child at home with more than bookwork – but with social graces and respect - should be honored.

Today it seems as if many grandparents are the ones who teach our children. In some cases that is not fair to them as they have raised their own children and have taken care of their generation. I admire the stay at home mom. I feel she is where she should be, more so today than ever.

My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of thy mother. Proverbs 1:8.

Life today seems so hurried and fast-paced to get where? For what?

With more modern conveniences, you would think it should be

slower. Sit and talk with someone fifty years older than you. They will tell you what chores they did before coming to school, how far they walked to get there, the various activities they had to go to - and we’ll not touch on manners or respect to others.

The art of texting seems to now take the place of verbal speaking.

Ear plugs drown out all things you do not want to listen to. Put on your speaker phone so all around can hear. All this new technology is good, but personally I like to look someone in the eye when talking to them. That way, I at least have their attention.

I wonder how this sets with school teachers. Did you know some teachers are also bullied in school? You often hear a person say how they were impressed and how they were guided through their life by a teacher they had in school.

Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. Proverbs 3:13 Students, enjoy your years of education. Listen, learn and become wiser than the year before.

Prayer: God bless the teachers who educate others, lest we forget you God and your instruction book - the Bible. Amen.

Velma’s View Submitted by Velma Kitchens Out of breath I like watching track and field events. The runners are so exciting to watch. These people take years out of their lives, as other athletes do, to practice and exercise to get in shape for their sport and hopefully win. All the time and training that goes into one sport is just amazing. And often it all comes down to a few minutes of time to win or lose. But I guess all sports are like that.

A moment in time stands still for the winners and the losers of a race.

The main goal is to win, but for some just running is the goal also.

I am amazed at the people on TV who go up to these winners just as they cross the finish line and ask them questions.

For goodness sake, they have just ran for their lives and their sport. They are out of breath and every word has to be interrupted by a breath in or out.

I think athletes should be given time to catch their breath. Then interview them… before they pass out.

flavored milk, the milk consumption dropped dramatically,” McCoy said. “Children just quit drinking milk. Our milk was already one percent at that time. There was nothing wrong with the milk.”

Eventually, the West Virginia Office of Child Nutrition stepped in and told Cabell County Schools that the necessary vitamins in milk far outweighed the risks of added sugar from flavoring.

“Because they are in a developmental stage, milk is extremely important,” said Superintendent Bill Smith. “So even if it’s flavored, it offsets the small amount of sugar that might be in it. Getting them to drink milk is very important.”

O’Dell said Oliver refused to analyze his meals’ nutritional contents, a national requirement for schools. This put Cabell officials in the position of potentially losing the federal subsidies it received for lunches.

“We kept requesting, ‘please, analyze your meal’,” O’Dell said.

“He would never do it. Ultimately, his fat content and his sodium content far exceeded what we were serving.”

O’Dell said that after McCoy taught Oliver how to analyze his meals, it turned out his meals had about ten percent more fat and sodium than McCoy’s recipes.

Now, four years later, Cabell County Schools’ Food Service program continues to improve, although not a direct result of the show.

“We do things, not because of the show, but because we always strive to better the nutritional meal for students,” McCoy said. “Now, we’re feeding more students than ever. It’s a very nutritional meal.

“If students eat breakfast and lunch with us, they are getting the majority of the required nutrition

they need.”

Every public school in Cabell has a salad bar, from elementary through high school. McCoy said this allows students to choose what they want to eat, which helps make eating healthy an enjoyable experience.

“One of the best things about this is not just the eating, but that we are doing education about nutrition,” Smith said. “So kids are becoming more savvy about how they eat. Healthy food and eating are starting to mesh for kids, and that’s a good thing.”

A large part of the educational component is the Farm to School program. Cabell students from around the county grow vegetables and raise chickens and sell the produce and eggs to the school, which is served during lunch.

“You teach children to be entrepreneurs,” O’Dell said. “That’s been a big thing, one of my favorite things overall.”

O’Dell said last year, they were able to give every child in Cabell County Schools a student grown ear of corn. This year, multiple students are already signed up for Farm to Food.

“Everything is focused on wellness and student health,” McCoy said. “It’s a great learning experience for students. I think it’s really important that this awareness is out there.”

Cabell County Schools’ Food Service Program is enormous, with multiple breakfast options available at every school as well as lunch choices and salad bars.

Additionally, some schools will be able to start serving dinner this year, as well.

For more information about school meal options, parents and guardians can contact the school’s administrative office.

Oliver From Page 1 bones and other undesirable parts of a chicken, using the resulting mush to make chicken nuggets.

This was not the case.

“The chicken we use (in school lunches) is not ground up bone or anything,” McCoy said. “It is just chicken breast with rib meat, so it’s white meat chicken.”

The chicken nuggets weren’t the only misrepresentation presented on the show.

One episode description stated “…(Oliver) does successfully raise the ire of school parents with a shocking, no-nonsense display of the fat that’s being fed to their children.” In that episode, Oliver used a visual display at Central City Elementary in Huntington.

“He bought a truck full of fat and dumped it,” O’Dell said. “He didn’t actually calculate how much fat we were serving in a year, he just called and ordered a truck full of fat.

“But that’s not good for the show so they didn’t show that.”

These were just some of the misconceptions happening behind the scenes.

“He wouldn’t wear gloves,” O’Dell said. “Jamie made fun of us for trying to keep things clean.

O’Dell said there were some quality problems with the food as well.

“One day, we got a call from Barboursville Middle because their chicken was pink,” he said. “It wasn’t cooked. We even got some complaints from schools that the kids were going home hungry.”

Another incident involved the removal of flavored milk from the lunch lines. According to Oliver’s “flavored milk toolkit,” “…with the right backing from the school community, kids will be happy to drink [unflavored milk].”

Christian’s Sports Beat: Local soccer standout helps with camp

By Christian Deiss For The Cabell Standard A former Hurricane High School Soccer standout and current member of the Marshall University Thundering Herd Men’s Soccer team was a coach at this year’s Marshall Soccer Camp. For the second year Trevor Starcher helped the campers at the weeklong event that took place last week at the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex in Huntington.

Over 100 young players, ages five to 13, the majority from Cabell and Putnam counties attended the camp. Starcher told me after one of the camp sessions what it was like coaching the young players.

“It was a good experience to give back to the community and to help develop the fundamentals for the young players in the camp so they can learn to just get out there and play and have fun with the game,” he said.

This is my second year attending the camp. While it helps me to play better, my favorite part of the camp was an exercise called World Cup.

World Cup is when 10 two-person teams try to score at the same time, which forces me and my teammate to concentrate on each other, the ball and the other teams all at the same time. I wanted to know what Stracher’s favorite part of the camp was.

“Just working with the kids and watching them learn the correct way of playing the sport and have a good time,” he said.

When Starcher played for the West Virginia Soccer Club Rowdies he also attended the camp, before making All-State for Hurricane High School. One of my coaches during the camp was Sammy Boateng, a volunteer coach for Marshall and a former Thundering Herd player. The Ghana native explained how important it is for players like Starcher to coach at camps.

“It really helps them to get the young players to understand the little things about the game, like touching and striking the ball and as a player when you are teaching the game you are also learning to become a better player,” he said.

Trevor Starcher, former standout at Hurricane High, coached at this year’s Marshall Soccer Camp.

Starcher told me that if he coaches in the future working at the camp will really help.

“It will give me a better idea in planning drills, how to treat the

kids and work with the parents and how to develop a team with the talent given to you, nothing better than learning from first hand experiences,” he said.

Milton From Page 1 “Milton is an up and coming,” she said. “We’ve had an overwhelming response here. The city has been a pleasure to work with.”

Canterbury went out of his way to welcome Barnyard to the city, him and the council even sending them a “Welcome to Milton” plant.

The plant now sits near the cash register in the front entrance.

“Milton is a small hometown,” Canterbury said. “It’s a perfect city to have a family in – living here is a pleasure. But you have to continue to grow. You grow or you die.”

Growing is certainly evident around the city as multiple construction projects can be seen from W.Va. 60. Some growing that might not be so evident, however, is happening within Serenity Day Spa. “I’m growing with the economy,” Ferguson said.

She said the spa will soon move to accommodate its growth in clientele, a move that was facilitated, in part, by the Milton City Government.

“They heard through the grape vine and found a spot for me,” she said. “They did everything they

Boateng played for Marshall from 2007 – 2010.

In my group were two of my U-11 Rowdies teammates, Logan Westfall and Connor Stonestreet.

Both were camp rookies. The coaches taught the campers how to use their weak foot when striking the ball.

Both young players told me learning to kick with their weak was important to them.

“I found out how to properly strike the ball with my left foot, which has been a problem for me and now I feel better about it,” said Westfall, of Hurricane.

Stonestreet, also of Hurricane, agreed. “Before the camp I could not kick the ball with my left foot and now I am pretty decent at it, which will help when I play for my travel team.”

Stonestreet attends West Teays Elementary and Westfall goes Hurricane Town Elementary.

It was fun learning from current and former players like Starcher and Boateng during the Marshall Camp, they seemed to know where I needed help with my game.

could to make sure the deal went through to get me to move. You wouldn’t get that in Barboursville or Huntington.”

In addition to being helpful, Ferguson said city policies are also easy to work with.

“To have a business license in town is more than reasonable,” she said. “The taxes are reasonable in this town, too, and you look outside and know the tax dollars are going somewhere good.”

Canterbury said the additional businesses have reinvested in the town, as tax money has been used for important community projects such as repairing the water system.

He said repaving is also evident throughout the town.

“We’ve replaced a lot of water lines and sewer lines here in town,” he said. “When you grow your facilities have to grow with it. We’re definitely using more water now, but we’re in good shape.”

Canterbury said that anyone looking for a new business location should look no further than Milton.

“We’ll take anything,” he said.

“If you come, I think it will be great – no, I know it will be great.”

Intentional Optimism – the Catalyst for Hope

Lorren Jones, 8th grade Language Arts teacher at Milton Middle, gets a dent in on the piles of paperwork required to submit before the year starts.

Milton Middle gets new principal

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

Milton Middle School will start the school year with a full staff of administrators thanks to a special Cabell County School Board Meeting.

The meeting, held just nine days before the start of the new school year, was scheduled to ensure last minute staffing assignments would have time to set up in their new schools.

For Joedy Cunningham, this meant leaving his office in Huntington High School to take over as principal of Milton Middle.

“I’m extremely excited,” he said after the school board meeting. “I’m very familiar with the community of Milton.”

Most recently, Cunningham was an assistant principal of Huntington High, but he has also served in the Cunningham administration at Cabell Midland High School and Cammock Middle School. His time at Cabell Midland, he said, engrained in him a sense of community pride for the eastern part of the county.

“I want to continue to see Milton Middle School and the community of Milton to progress academically

and with the community pride that the Milton Panthers have every year,” he said. “Milton, being a suburb of Huntington, will continue to grow. We want to make sure we are educating their youth.”

In addition to Cunningham, the board hired Clarence Chapman, currently an assistant principal at Huntington Middle, to be an assistant principal at Milton Middle.

Two-thirds of Milton’s administrative staff just nine days before term began.

“It is not the best scenario, but Milton Middle has a strong teaching staff out there,” said Assistant Superintendent Todd Alexander.

“These two are experienced administrators. They’ll be in good shape.”

Alexander said the pressure of taking on a whole new staff would be too much for some, but he has full confidence in Cunningham’s ability to be successful.

“I think he’s a hard worker,” Alexander said. “He really is a work horse. I know he will do everything he can every single day to make sure those kids are getting the best education possible. It’s rare to get someone with a work ethic like his.”

Milton Middle wasn’t the only school with staffing changes. The board was able to put a dent in the teacher shortage with 26 new hires and six transfers.

The hires and transfers left a gap of about 30 unfilled spots in the county, which Alexander said is a

normal amount.

“We’re in really good shape,” he said after the July 29 school board meeting. “It’s hard to get it below that because of transfers.”

Alexander said teachers in the county are allowed to bid on other openings in the county, creating a kind of shuffle between schools. If the transfer is awarded, the teacher’s former position then becomes open, which often times accounts for the shortage in teachers.

Additionally, transferred teachers can’t take up their new position until the following year if awarded after the state-mandated “stay put” date, Alexander said. In these cases, a permanent substitute takes the teacher’s place until the following school year.

“We’re not allowed to give one year contracts,” Alexander said.

However, he said the permanent substitutes are able to make relationships within the school that often lead to full-time positions during the next school year, as well as develop new teaching techniques while working within the school.

Overall, Alexander said parents should not worry about the unfilled positions.

“We’re very confident that we’ll have every position in the district filled in,” he said.

The Cabell County School Board meets the first and third Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at the central board office. All meetings are open to the public.

Superintendent William Smith writes letter to school parents and community.

A new Gallup Study has added the voice of America’s youth in a dialog that measures the impact of hope for the future, engagement with school, and well-being.

In fact, Gallup has made a 10 year com- Smith mitment to track hope, engagement, and well-being of public school students in grades 5 through 12 across the United States. So far the findings are revolutionary: “Hope scores are more robust predictors of college success than are high school GPA, SAT, and ACT scores.”

These conclusions by Gallup strongly resonated with me – I began to think about the importance of school culture, the power of positive relationships, and the engagement of our students in relevant and rigorous instruction. If indeed hope is a better indicator of achievement and success, then we must become more intentional about creating a school culture that infuses hope, engagement, and well-being into the daily lives of our students.

When our doors open for students on August 6, I have challenged each employee to watch for students who seem to have abandoned hope. You can see it in their eyes. You can hear it in their voices. You can sense it in the way they interface with teachers and others. These students are not in the position to meaningfully engage in school.

We have a wonderful opportunity to help these students and make a positive difference in their lives. We can achieve this by being intentionally optimistic in our greeting, our smile, a hand shake, our enthusiasm, a compliment, recognition of their gifts, and our encouragement.

“Based on data collected during the Fall 2013 administration, 54% of students who participated are Hopeful, 55% are Engaged, and 66% have thriving Well-Being.”

2013 Gallup Findings In recent print and film versions of “The Help” by Kathryn Stockett, the author and filmmaker painted a picture for us in a simple scene where every day the maid told the little girl in her charge that she was smart, that she was kind, and that she was important. As fleeting as it may have seemed in the movie, this simple, uncomplicated action of speaking optimism and hope into the life of a child is very powerful.

All of our students need to hear from us about their gifts and abilities. They need our optimism daily. They need to know that the future is bright and awaits their important contribution.

We have been talking about the three R’s (Rigor, Relevance, & Relationships) for several years now. And much has been achieved within that framework; however, I believe that rigor and relevance is not possible without positive and powerful relationships. Our Customer Service initiative is designed to create a positive school culture.

A local chapter of the International Alliance for Invitational Education (IAIE) began this past year in Cabell County Schools with the focus of intentionally creating an inviting culture in our schools.

I want our schools to become places where students will receive affirmation, know they are somebody and that people genuinely care. They should know they will encounter positive, encouraging adults who will help them see a glimpse of a positive future. I hope you will join us as we work to build this culture of hope for all students.

Developmental therapy center to provide services to students this year

Kevin Crouse, state manager of Woodmen of the World, an insurance agency out of Hurricane, sponsored Milton Middle’s back to school barbecue, seen here preparing 80 hamburgers for Milton’s teachers and staff.

Cabell County Schools has been informed services offered to students by Developmental Therapy Center will continue this year.

Developmental Therapy Center’s office was damaged in the Morris Building fire that took place last weekend in Downtown Huntington. This non-profit agency provides physical and occupational therapy services for many students

identified with needs in the Cabell County public school system.

Services are provided on-site at the schools, and services can continue uninterrupted.

Flowers said, while the creation of the website was difficult, it was a project he was glad to accomplish.

“We’re asking teachers to improve and we’re asking students to improve, so I think it’s also good if we’re improving, if the infrastructure improves as well,” Flowers said. “We’re trying to be better. We’re trying to be better as a board office to be more supportive of our staff.”

In addition to being supportive of the staff, Flowers said the new website will allow more communication with the outside community, something necessary for the district’s success.

Cabell schools reveal new logo, website amanda@theputnamstandard.com

Cabell County Schools is starting off the year with a new look.

After months of work, the district has unveiled a new logo and launched a new website. Both seek to better represent Cabell County in the age of technology, Communications Director Jedd Flowers said.

“We’ve done a lot of work,” Flowers said. “What we’ve done is we modernized the logo, because what we had before was old fashioned. It sends a message that the students are the center of all we do.

“It’s a subtle message, but its one that is pretty clear if you look at it closely.”

Flowers said the logo was designed to be more colorful, some-

thing that makes the school system seem more inviting. Additionally, he said the logo tells the story of a child who graduated showing younger students that they can do that, too.

“We’re trying to create a culture where all students can succeed,” Flowers said. “We want people to know that our students are succeeding and we want other students to know that they can do it, too. It doesn’t matter what their past is.

It doesn’t define them. They can be whatever they want to be and succeed however they want to succeed.”

In addition to a new logo is a

complete redesign of the website.

Flowers said the website is on a content management system, meaning it can be updated without knowledge of coding or computer science.

This, he said, will allow teachers to have their own pages showing assignments, self-grading quizzes and more.

“I think its really going to increase communication,” Flowers said. “I’m really excited about this.

We’re trying to make our websites more friendly and easier to find information.”

Flowers said that one of the best features of the website is an integrated calendar that will allow parents to select the schools their children attend and then see all important dates on one calendar. In

“The school system cannot do what we need to do by ourselves now. The challenges are too huge.

We’re really trying to connect with those folks out there in the community that can help in someway.

It’s vital.”

Flowers said the website directory will be updated within a couple weeks of starting school.

The short delay is due to the new email system chosen by the state board of education.

Until then, community members wanting information can call their local school or the central office during regular business hours. The other option is to tweet Flowers at @CabellCountySchools or email him at jtflower@k12.wv.us.

Marching Knights prepare for competition

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The Cabell Midland High School Marching Knights are mixing poetry with music this year as they prepare to compete on the national stage with a show based on Edgar Allen Poe’s “Annabel Lee.” “We’re getting ready for the best year we’ve ever had,” said Drum Major Mollie Ashworth, a rising senior at CMHS. “It’s more of a dark theme. You should expect a very musically advanced show.”

Band Director Tim James said the theme presents an additional challenge he enjoys.

“I like to think of myself as a creative person,” he said. “I like to do something everybody else wouldn’t do. Plus, the kids are learning literature at the same time they’re playing music.”

The evidence of James’ creativity can already be seen at band camp. During band camp, students have been practicing not only their music and marching formations, but acting and dance routines that will take place without instruments during the performance.

James hopes their work will earn them national recognition, as he will be taking the band to compete in the Bands of America regional championship.

“We’ll be competing against the best bands in this country,” he said.

“We’re hoping to get to the top ten of the regional contest.”

James said he feels like this year is his best shot so far at succeeding nationally.

“This is probably going to be my

best group at Cabell Midland,” he said. “Everyone who is here has been with me since they started and they know what to expect. We also have a really good team of instructors.”

The 155-member band, a 17-member increase from last year, is preparing for its seven competitions this season. The three-week band camp consists of about 140 hours of training and is when the kids learn their music and their marching formations.

“It’s a lot of hard work and long hours outside,” Ashworth said.

“But it’s really more of a bonding experience for the band because this is the time we all come together and really click.”

Tanner Pope, a rising senior and drum major, said the workload doesn’t get in the way of the fun they have.

“It’s a lot of work, but marching is fun,” he said. “It’s coming together really well. We enjoy band camp – we know all of this hard work will pay off.”

James said his band has a mix of students who create an enjoyable experience for everyone throughout band season.

“We have something different than other organizations do,” he said. “We have a place for every student. We have a mix of different personalities and abilities. We take everybody.”

James said students do not have to try out to be in marching band and many have never played an instrument before they join.

“Probably one fourth of our kids who come to us have never played

James said that while they practice for competitions, beating other bands is not their top priority.

“We don’t look at it like we are competing with another band. We look at it like we’re competing with ourselves,” he said. “We just want to be better than we were the year before.”

This, Ashworth said, is already happening.

“It has clicked as a whole already and we already are working harmoniously,” she said. “You don’t actually have to win to win.

It’s the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done my entire life. We all rely on each other to get the job done.” In addition to music, band members also learned dance steps.
