Board may face challenges with Charter Schools By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com
Senate Bill 14, known as the West Virginia Public Charter School Act, may face challenges in implementation around the state. The first challenge, however, is passage by the state legislature. On Monday the Charter Schools bill died in Senate Finance Committee meeting Monday after Sen. Jeff Kessler (D-Marshall) made a motion for the “indefinite postponement.” The 8-6 vote was down party lines. Republicans breathed new life to the bill on Tuesday when a motion to dismiss it from the committee and move it directly into first reading on the floor passed 18-16. The bill will be read three times before a vote can be taken. Cabell County Schools Superintendent William Smith said his biggest concerns with the bill are monetary, as charter systems historically drain financial resources. “Financially, from what I’ve read about it, if you try to implement you might have a drain on
“I don’t see that as a viable thing for small counties to do because it is a drain on resources,” Smith said. “Larger counties would have to really think very hard before they would do something like that because it is a drain on resources.”
William Smith Cabell County Schools Schools Superintendent your resources because the money follows the child,” he said. He said that if a school in the county became a charter, the children who attended would take away their associated state funding from their home school to use for the charter. In cases like Culloden Elementary, where the school is already losing teachers due to decreasing enrollment, the loss could See Charter, Page 7
Angie Fletcher, owner of AllyK at Cafe in Barboursville, prepares a homemade crust for a sugar-free apple pie.
AllyKat Café is family affair By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com On Feb. 29, 2012 Angie Fletcher, an employee of Kindred Communication of Huntington, was in a car crash that changed her life. “It really took a toll on my life,” she said. “It changed my whole life. I didn’t feel like I could handle going back to what I was doing before.” After a long and tenuous rehabilitation, she was at a doctor appointment with her daughter, Ally, when she saw a listing on Craigslist for café equipment in Barboursville. The next day, AllyKat
Café was born. “It really was an act of my heart and I just felt like it was a door that God opened for me,” Fletcher said. “I felt so strongly about it that I knew I had to do it. There was no way I could not do what was right there and what seemed so big in front of me.” Located at 640 Brady Street, AllyKat Café serves homemade sandwiches and old-fashioned meals, along with a cookies, cakes and pies. Originally only open for lunch, the café has expanded to dinner and has seen significant growth since See AllyKat, Page 6
Record low temperatures close businesses, schools By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com
Wintry weather and record breaking low temperatures kept plows and public works departments busy last week as 18 inches of snow combined with artic temperatures covered roadways across the county. “It could have been a lot worse,” said Gordon Merry, director of the Cabell County office of emergency management. “Truly, in my opinion and from the EMS side, we looked ahead.
“We have four trucks with plow blades. We were proactive getting equipment to be able to handle storms like this. There were no surprises. We knew it was going to snow and we had the equipment to deal with it.” Merry said that for the most part, local residents heeded the warnings and stayed off the roads. Monday, Feb. 16 was the worst day as 10.9 inches of snow created a winter wonderland across the county that plows just could not keep up with. “Monday was a major challenge for us,” he said. “We had worked
preparing and trying to get ready all day Sunday and really and truly, obviously we got stuck here and there, but really it was not that bad. The biggest issue was on Monday that when we got that snow, there was so much of it, no one could keep up with it. That caused some See Weather, Page 3 A week filled with large snowfalls and historically low temperatures kept shoppers at home instead of on Main Street in downtown Barboursville.

Plenty to do in W. Va. on St. Patrick’s Day, throughout March Record low temperatures last week caused major rivers to ice over.
Weather From Page 1 headaches. “We were lucky that it was a dry snow. If that would have been a wet snow, it would have been a lot worse. With a dry snow, we didn’t have the power outages we would have had with wet snow.” The dry snow did make for a difficult commute, however. Cabell County Schools, the courthouse and Marshall University closed on Monday. Cabell County Schools remained closed the remainder of the week while Marshall opened for a couple hours on Tuesday and Wednesday, before closing altogether for Thursday and Friday. “We are facing dangerous wind chills below zero degrees over the next couple of days,” said interim President Gary White in a Thursday, Feb. 19 press release. “For the safety of our students, faculty and staff, we have made the decision to close the university. The weather has made this a challenging week for all of us and although we understand the closure of our campuses may be an inconvenience for some, our primary concern is the wellbeing of our Marshall family.” Kevin McGrath, forecaster for the National Weather Service in Charleston, said the cold was caused by an arctic air mist from the north. The area should expect at least one more cold weather system before it gets warm for spring, he cautioned. “We had an artic air mist on the heels of the low-pressure area that came in and brought some cold air and some temperatures below zero,” he said. “Our long-term models are projecting that we will see some more cold air systems moving in and seeing some cold temperatures in next week.” If the cold air and precipitation lasts too much longer, the city of Milton may be in trouble. Mayor Tom Canterbury said the city is starting to run low on salt. “We are getting a little bit short on salt,” he said. “We’re OK today. We’re mixing sand with it to make it last longer.” Canterbury said members of his street department have worked tirelessly to maintain the roads, including being called in on President’s Day, a holiday day for employees. “They plowed all day Monday and they plowed the biggest part of the night Monday night,” he said. “We did good. We’re in pretty good shape. We hit the hills first and the
senior housing to make sure the ambulances could reach them.” After the snow on Feb. 1, cold air caused Cabell County to set a record low of minus 3 degrees on Thursday, Feb. 19. This record was surpassed on Friday, Feb. 20 with a record low of minus 19 degrees, overtaking the 1936 record low of 3 degrees. But despite the frigid temperatures, Cabell County had no major accidents due to weather. Merry said there was a minor sledding accident in Ritter Park resulting in a possible leg fracture and some minor accidents due to slipping and exhaustion. “We did have some problems on Tuesday because people were going out shoveling their driveway and slipping and falling,” Merry said. “We really haven’t had any major accidents from it.” Merry said the senior population is more at risk to minor accidents during cold weather. Cabell County Senior Services Organization Director Chuck Ricks said it is important for people to lend a helping hand to their elderly neighbors and family members when possible. “We have always said to look out for your neighbors,” Ricks said. “We commend all of those people, whether they be first responders, neighbors, friends or even a stranger on the street. That’s what we West Virginians are. We’re a close-knit group and we take care of our own.” Ricks said that no serious injuries were reported to the center but the Meals on Wheels program could not access some recipients during the week because of the weather. Ricks said the organization had planned for taking out extra meals before the storm, just in case. “The advice is the same for seniors as it is for everyone else, plan ahead,” he said. “Make sure you have a supply of your medication. Look ahead. Have a stock of supplies. Everybody of every age should have bottles of water and nonperishable food. Make certain that you have pet food as well. It’s just common sense.” Merry said the best place to call for help is 911. He did ask that people refrain from calling about utility outages as 911 does not receive information of that kind. For more information on how to be ready for wintry weather, cold temperatures or a storm Merry said to visit www.ready.gov.

Whirlwind Storage takes donations for Vets By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com
Carlie Beamen of Whirlwind Storage is on a mission to fill a storage unit full of supplies for veterans in the Huntington VA Medical Center. “A lot of our veterans come home and feel like they’ve been forgotten,” she said. “I don’t want them to ever feel like they are looked down on because they can’t brush their teeth or comb their hair. “I want them to know we haven’t forgotten about them and their fight for our freedom.” Beaman’s desire to look after veterans stems from the passing of her son, Christopher. Christopher served his county and was killed in 2003 in Iraq. Often Christopher’s letters to his mother were filled with requests to look after his military brothers stateside. “So many times in his letters that came home he’d just said, ‘help look after my brothers and sisters in the military,’” she said. “I kept saying I didn’t want him to go. But he said ‘I have to fight for my brothers and sisters that can’t stand up for themselves and I want you guys to be free,’ so he went.” Because the need is so great, Beaman, manager of Whirlwind Storage in Hurricane, has also issued a challenge to other local storage and U-Haul facilities in the area. She wants other businesses
get involved and dedicate a unit to donations for veterans. The challenge is to see who can be the first to fill a ten-by-ten unit or a 17-foot moving van. The challenge will run from during the month of March, until April 1. When her son, Christopher, was in Iraq Beaman would often send letters and care packages to him and his unit. Those packages included sweets along with everyday-use items. “I got a letter home from one of his friends that wanted to thank me for sending him letters too because no one was writing him,” Beaman said. “I sent him some candy and chewing gum. “We would send bubble gum to all of them to see who could blow the biggest bubble because they’re all kids.” After seeing the need overseas and hearing of the needs of veterans here at home from another son who works in a VA facility in Kentucky, Beaman decided to become a part of the solution. Whirlwind Storage of Hurricane is accepting donations of everyday use items, such as deodorant, toothbrushes and soap for the Huntington VA Medical Center. “These veterans need these every day items that we take for granted,” she said. “We want them to know that there is stuff out there for them. “They have pride. A lot of pride. Even the homeless vets have pride.

AMP youth team takes third at competition By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com
The AMP athletics youth cheering squad, Surge, took home third place last weekend after facing some of the most competitive cheering squads in the region at the American Cheer Power Wild Wild West Open in Huntington. Consisting of girls aged six to 11, Surge is AMP’s youngest cheer squad, although coach Katelyn Myers said it is hard to tell with how well they work together. “I only have four on the team that’s every cheered,” she said after their performance. “The rest are brand new but they click. This is the best group of girls I’ve ever worked with. I wouldn’t give them up for the world.” Pinned against a dozen other teams, Myers and her co-coaches made sure the girls, especially the new ones, didn’t let their nerves get the best of them. “I was a little nervous at first but then we got there and I wasn’t as nervous,” said Heather Trent, 11, of Proctorville, Ohio. Trent said the cheer routine helps her get her emotions out on the mat. “You can be sassy and have fun with it,” she said.
Kala Carnefix, 10, of Mason County, said she gets over her nervousness by putting all her effort into the routine. “I was really excited but also nervous,” she said. “But the coaches helped calm us down. We performed and showed people what we got.” Myers said the team did excellent, especially given all the firstyear cheerers, a direct result of all the hard work they each put in. “I’ve never had a group of girls work so hard for me,” she said. “They come, they show up to every practice. If they’re not going to be there, they let me know way ahead. They give me all they have.” Myers said this is particularly hard on the parents, who shuffle their children to and from practice, some, like Carnefix’s parents, drive nearly 45 minutes each way. “We practice a lot,” Myers said. “I have a great group of parents. They don’t complain, they just are there. We practiced all last weekend, they practiced yesterday. They come in the snow, in bad weather, they prepare. “It takes a lot of hard work. They work hard and they put in a lot of dedication. They are in the gym four of five times a week for hours.

Charter From Page 1 be detrimental. “I don’t see that as a viable thing for small counties to do because it is a drain on resources,” Smith said. “Larger counties would have to really think very hard before they would do something like that because it is a drain on resources.” Sen. Robert Plymale (D - 5 th District) said discussions in the senate education committee have not helped him feel that the charter school bill could be used effectively across the state. “The applicability of this law in West Virginia is what I’m concerned about,” he said. “First you look at if it will work in the district you represent and second you look if it will work in the state. Right now I still have mixed opinions. Right now, I don’t think the bill does that.” Plymale said larger school systems such as Cabell, Putnam and Kanawha could possibly use the bill for its benefit, but smaller school systems such as Wayne or Upshur would find it difficult. “I think it’s going to cost some money that I don’t think was intended,” he said. “I’m actually at the point now that if we’re going to do this, I think it’s better to do it as a pilot and let two or three schools be authorized through some process, and limit it to those three schools to see what kind of outcomes they have.” The Education Committee substitute for the bill differs dramatically from the original bill
introduced. For example, where the original bill allowed for an unlimited number of charters to start up across the state, the new bill only allows two per year for the first five years, all overseen by an oversight group. Addtionally, within the school itself, a board of directors will have complete autonomy separate from its local board of education when it comes to curriculum, teaching methodology and staffing. “Charter schools are an opportunity to be creative and by definition, they start with the students needs first and the framework is built around the students needs and rises up to the funding,” said Sen. Dave Sypolt (R-District 14), chair of the senate education committee and lead sponsor of the bill. “The standards and benchmarks for achievement are the same for regular public school, but the public charter school has essentially unlimited flexibility in how they deliver the curriculum.” Sypolt said the board of directors at the charter schools will submit a business plan which details the facility’s delivery model, including the mode of instruction as well as the schedule. Although the school will still be required to meet the 180 days of curriculum as mandated by state law, the charter schools can change the schedule to go year-round or even go six days a week, Sypolt said. “Its really a very unique concept and something that West Virginia
hasn’t tried,” Sypolt said. “I think there really are a lot of opportunities for people who are much smarter than myself to prepare proposals that would be vetted and determined whether there is merit there or not.” Smith said he would need to see a successful model for charter schools before he would be interested in pursuing it, adding that charter schools don’t necessarily reduce achievement gaps as the bill expects. “It seems to be the buzzword but the data is not overwhelmingly in favor of charters,” Smith said. “Charters either do as well, if not less well, than a non-charter school. Some charters have done well, some charters have done worse. In Pennsylvania, charters pop up and go down constantly. It’s been a drain on resources there. “There’s probably some decent models around the nation, I just don’t think we will jump on that right away. I think they need to look at it and see which ones are working and which ones are not and what elements there are that helps them to work.” Smith said he also expects some backlash as far as staffing autonomy. Sypolt said the bill designates that charter school employees are still public employees and continue to gain seniority while employed. This, Smith said, can cause problems if a teacher is asked to leave the charter and rejoin the public
school system. “They have flexibility with who they hire and that’s where I think unions have an issue,” Smith said. “For example, let’s say I’m a teacher and I go to the charter school and I work for a year before they decide they don’t want me there anymore. I have to go back into the regular system. “Who do I bump out? They don’t have to go with the most senior person, they don’t have to go with that criteria. It makes it difficult to have people moving in and out of that charter. They’re not insurmountable details but they are very important.” Despite his disagreements with implementation, Smith said bottom-up curriculum approach to charter schools is attractive. “I think the purpose of charters is to increase the achievement of students, but I don’t think they’re being successful around the nation any more than public schools addressing their particular school needs,” he said. “But I do think what charters speak to is that the local school is the place where decisions are made. I think that’s
where the charter is attractive.” Plymale said this type of bottom-up approach can be done in the public school arena, as evidenced by Cabell County’s expeditionary learning school which is set to open next fall. “What the Harless Center has done with collaborating with the expeditionary learning school is the kind of examples that I think are charter-like examples but are applying it on a public basis,” Plymale said. “I would love for my grandchild that lives in Cabell County to experience a school like that.” If passed, the charter school bill will allow the formation of two schools per year for five years. If the schools are created from existing schools, enrollment will be attached to the previous school district, although parents can choose to opt out and attend another school. If the school is formed without an existing school, enrollment can be accomplished through lottery or by selecting atrisk or low achieving students. The bill allows the first charter schools to open in Fall 2016.

Velma’s View Submitted by Velma Kitchens Below zero! Yesterday morning, Feb. 20, outside my window the thermometer read 20 degrees below zero. In my lifetime I have never seen 20 below zero, but now I have. I have seen the temperature at 16 below zero two times but 20 really takes the cake. I waited until later to go out, at least it was a little bit better, but not much. The bitter cold can be dangerous and there is nothing so important barring a real emergency to be outside in sub-zero weather. I did make it to my destination, thank the Lord, but we need to have wisdom regarding the driving situations. Today is Saturday and I am not venturing out on ice and besides no one can drive on an ice rink with other vehicles coming at you. The
best advice is to stay inside and don’t try to be a hero on ice. Our jobs are not so important that the business cannot run without us. If you can get there, be late. It’s that simple. Anyway, I was speaking with an older gentleman yesterday and he said he had never seen it 20 below zero in this area either but his thermometer read 23 below zero. Well, I guess there is something to be said about a good thermometer. We always had a thermometer when I was growing up. My grandmother always had on her porch and now we have one and both my kids have one at their house. I guess it just goes to show us that the weather is fascinating and affects all of us in our daily lives. How is that Bible reading coming along? Job 38:22
Cabell has $178,000 in unclaimed property State Treasurer John Perdue’s office returned $1.2 million in unclaimed property to Kanawha County residents, the largest total in both the state and the Central West Virginia region. Kanawha is also the state’s most populous county with 191,000 residents. Unclaimed property is any asset from which an individual has been separated, such as forgotten utility deposits or abandoned safe deposit box contents. By law, the holder of the property – such as a bank -- is obligated to report the asset. Totals for the 12-county Central West Virginia region: * Kanawha -- $1.2 million * Cabell -- $178,000
* Putnam -- $146,000 * Upshur -- $47,000 * Braxton -- $43,000 * Jackson -- $39,000 * Calhoun -- $33,000 * Lewis -- $20,000 * Roane -- $18,000 * Gilmer -- $18,000 * Mason -- $15,000 In fiscal 2014, Treasurer Perdue’s office returned approximately $7 million in unclaimed property -- some $5 million to state residents and the rest to those who had lost property in West Virginia but moved to another state. In that case, the state of last address is the one which issues the unclaimed property check.
The Cabell Standard
At the Capitol, Feb. 16-20 By Phil Kabler For the West Virginia Press Association CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Outside events – including brutal winter weather and a catastrophic oil train derailment in nearby Fayette County – overshadowed the sixth week of the 2015 regular session of the Legislature. Monday’s derailment near Mount Carbon, about 30 miles from the state Capitol, caused numerous tank cars – each carrying 30,000 gallons of volatile Bakken Shale crude oil – to explode and burn, destroying a nearby house. Remarkably, no one was killed or seriously injured. Unlike January 2014, when a leak at a chemical storage facility near Charleston contaminated the water supply for 300,000 West Virginians served as a call to action for the Legislature, ultimately leading to passage of the Water Resources Protection Act (SB373), the Legislature’s reaction to the derailment was muted. Senate Transportation Chairman Chris Walters, R-Putnam, did call on the Legislature to study issues with the transportation of hazardous materials through the state, in light of the derailment as well as a tractor-trailer wreck in Greenbrier County in January that contaminated the water supply for the city of Lewisburg. “I think we absolutely need to do a study on rail and highway transportation of potentially dangerous materials,” he added. “I think a study would be appropriate, and then enacting legislation if needed.” Also Monday, more than 1,000 construction workers braved heavy snow and bone-chilling tempera-
tures for a rally on the north steps of the Capitol to protest pending bills to repeal or revamp the state’s prevailing wage act, and to make West Virginia a right-towork state. “These folks feel like they’re under attack,” said Josh Sword, secretary treasurer of the state AFL-CIO. “I don’t think there’s any other way to describe it.” Also during the week: * The House passed 76-21 a bill expanding medical malpractice liability caps to cover nursing homes, pharmacies, and a variety of health care professionals (SB6). The law was originally enacted in 2003 to address a crisis in which doctors in the state were unable to obtain affordable malpractice insurance coverage. Supporters of the bill said nursing home operators are currently facing a similar insurance availability crisis in light of a multimillion dollar liability verdict against a Charleston nursing home. Opponents said the bill would protect nursing homes where patients are neglected or injured because of chronic, systematic understaffing. “We’re going to take care of big business, out-of-state corporations that want to be relieved of their responsibility and accountability to West Virginia citizens,” argued Delegate Tim Manchin, D-Marion. The bill went back to the Senate, to work out minor differences between House and Senate versions of the legislation. * House leadership moved a bill off the House’s active calendar that would give tax cuts to coal companies and natural gas drillers for a portion of severance tax payments that are used to pay down
Workers Compensation fund debts (HB2675). That was because of amendments pending that instead of awarding the tax cuts, would shift the $10 million of savings to be used for programs to assist senior citizens and expand drug abuse treatment efforts. Pending amendments would use $6 million to eliminate a 1,500-person waiting list for a state Medicaid program that provides inhome care for senior citizens and disabled persons. The remaining $4 million would go to expand substance abuse treatment programs in the state. House Finance Chairman Eric Nelson, R-Kanawha, agreed that both programs deserve additional funding, but questioned using severance taxes to fund them. The bill remains on the House’s inactive calendar. * The Senate passed 33-1 legislation to make judicial elections – for magistrates, family law and circuit court judges, and Supreme Court justices – nonpartisan elections that would take place during the May primary elections (HB2010). Nonpartisan election of judges has been a key agenda item for the new Republican leadership in the House and Senate. Senate Judiciary Chairman Charles Trump, R-Morgan, said he sees several reasons why it is better to have nonpartisan judicial elections in May. “Having it in May puts the judges out of the partisan tumult that happens between May and November,” he said. “It should also reduce the influence of money in the process, because it’s a shorter campaign period.”
West Virginia Legislative Update By Carol Miller 16th District West Virginia has been most fortunate in having such a mild winter - that is until this past week. The state was hit with lots of snow and frigid temperatures that haven’t been seen in quite some time. But even the weather couldn’t keep the Legislature away from continuing to hold floor sessions and committee meetings. The pressure was also added this week as Monday, Feb. 23 is the
Like us on Facebook for current news and events in the area!
last day to introduce bills in both chambers. After Feb. 23, we will only consider those bills that have been filed and officially introduced. Both houses of the Legislature have been working diligently on key pieces of legislation. Thus far, 11 bills have completed legislative action and have been sent to the Governor’s desk including a bill known as the Access to Opioid Antagonists Act. This legislation will allow initial responders to possess and administer Naloxene to reverse the effects in suspected
opiate-related overdoses. Naloxene would also be made available to individuals at risk of overdose, as well as to relatives, friends and caregivers of these individuals. West Virginia has the highest drug overdose mortality rate in the nation and currently only some medical professionals are allowed to administer Naloxene. We cannot put our blinders on to the fact that this state continues to face a drug use epidemic. This bipartisan supported bill will save many lives and may give addicted West Virginians a new look on life or at the very least, a second chance. House Small Business, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Development reported out a number of bills this week including a bill that would require the Secretary of State to create a single electronic business portal that individuals and businesses can use to complete and file forms, pay taxes and fees and learn about the requirements for doing business in West Virginia. It
also requires the Secretary of State to develop a call center to answer questions. This bill would be so beneficial to local businesses navigate through all of the paperwork running a business entails. House Agriculture moved a number of bills out of committee this week including a bill that would require the DNR reintroduce elk into the state. This bill now goes to Finance for further consideration before being voted on by the entire House. This week saw one of my favorite days here at the Capitol - Marshall University Day. It was such a pleasure to see representatives, students, alumnus, etc. take part in a day honoring the university and its many achievements. On this day we also remembered the life and contributions Marshall University’s President Kopp made before his untimely passing in December. Under his leadership, Marshall University gained numerous facilities and programs includ-
ing the new Engineering building. He will be sorely missed but his legacy and accomplishments at the University and in his life in general, will forever remain. This week I also had the privilege of introducing Ohio Gov. John Kasich who was here to promote a federal balanced budget amendment. Kasich represented the same Congressional District in Ohio that my father once represented for many years. Lastly, I enjoyed having Frazier Singleton intern Ashley Arnold, a student from Marshall University, assigned to me this week. This internship offered Arnold the opportunity to shadow me during the floor sessions and committee meetings. As always, I will continue to keep you apprised of what is going on under the Capitol dome. My door is always open. Email Carol.miller@wvhouse. gov or call 304-340-3176

10 Midland wrestlers qualify for state meet By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com
As Cabell Midland wrestlers took their positions on the mats in the Region IV tournament, they wrestled for two things - a berth in the state tournament and the Class AAA title. After all the matches were finished the Knights had 10 weight classes qualify for the state meet and placed second as a team. “These guys really showed me how bad they wanted to win,” said head coach Jared Sargent. “You could tell the ones that had been working. Last year, they hoped to win, this year, they expected it.” Five of the ten wrestlers to qualify for this weekend’s tournament were crowned champions of
their weight class at the regional tournament. Senior Nathan Jefferson defeated Point Pleasant’s Jacob Duncan in a 6-4 decision in the 285-pound heavy weight battle. He also recorded his 100th win in the first round of the tournament. “It’s pretty amazing and I’m definitely blessed,” Jefferson said of his milestone. “We have a great coaching staff that has helped me the past couple years. I’m more than excited.” In one of the most exciting finishes in the tournament, Jefferson went into overtime in the match against Duncan. It was 4-4 at the end of regulation. He took a shot at Duncan and spun behind him, grappling his opponent for two points and the region championship. “Hopefully, I’ll make it to the
finals [in states],” he said. “We’ll see how we do there. We have a good field going in so I’m excited.” Midland’s Logan Adkins won the 113-pound weight class after pinning Scotty Wilcox from Point Pleasant in 4:17. “I’m excited but I’m really looking forward to next week at states,” Adkins said. “That’s what matters. I’m glad to get the win here so I can go.” Adkins has made it to the state tournament every year since starting at Midland. He was regional champion last yea and placed third in the state in the 113-pound weight class last season. He said he was very excited to see how the tournament will go this year. Junior Adam Whitmore followed in Adkins and Jefferson steps. He won the 138-pound weight class in a 1-0 decision over Trey Harmon of St. Albans. Midland freshman Chaston Hol-
ley won a 2-0 decision over Point Pleasant’s Hunter White to take the 170-pound weight class and senior Timmy Blake won a 14-3 major decision over Jon Peterson from Point Pleasant to win the championship for the 182-pound class. “My 182, Timmy Blake, put in his time this summer,” Sargent said. “There’s not a kid in the state that worked harder than Timmy Blake and it shows. “He placed sixth last year and he expects to win it all. Every week he comes out here and dominates his opponents, his confidence goes up.” Also going to Huntington for the state tournament are Levi McCormick, who placed second in the 106-class after falling to Huntington’s Josh Humphreys in the finals, Drew Taylor, who finished third in the 120-pound class after pinning Isaiah Whittington from St. Albans in 43 seconds and Hunter Fischer

Midland’s Matt Henson placed fourth in the 195-pound to qualify for a trip to the state tournament at Big Sandy. “We’re believing,” Sargent said. “We think we’re going to have a good state tournament. We hoped to qualify more but I’m happy with where we’re at. “I expect my guys to battle. They don’t back down from anybody. When we show up for a tournament, I would like other teams to see we’re going to leave it all out there.” These ten wrestlers will meet others regional champions from around the state in Huntington Saturday, Feb 28 at the Big Sandy Arena.
