It’s Fair time for Cabell County By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com
The 31st Annual Cabell County Fair kicks off Saturday, July 19 at Barboursville Park and continues through the following Saturday, July 26 at Milton Pumpkin Park. “The fair has always been my life,” said Fair Board Secretary Rosella Call. “I love the atmosphere and the experience for kids who never get to see animals otherwise.” The fair atmosphere is getting an upgrade this year, Fair Board President Brian Clagg said. “The fair has some improvements,” he said. “One of the problems we assessed last year was the atmosphere, the reason being that we have our entertainment in a closed building. This year, we have an outdoor stage for the first time in a long while.” The outdoor stage will host Aly’An and Jeff Bates on Friday, July 25 and Matt Stillwell and the Upstage Contest winner on Saturday, July 26. The Upstage Contest, Call said, is a type of “American Idol” contest for Cabell residents and is new to the fair this year. “It’s almost like an idol type thing,” Call said. “The top ten will sing Wednesday night [at the Performing Arts Center] and the winner will open for Matt Stillwell Saturday night.” According to Clagg, attendance for the fair has dropped in recent years, something he attributes to

New transportation complex ready By Amanda Smythers Amanda@theputnamstandard.com
C
abell County Schools new transportation complex is open and running thanks to a team effort led by Assistant Superintendent Mike O’Dell. The $7.6 million project is located on Cox Landing Lane on the grounds of the old Cox Landing Middle School across from Cox Landing Elementary School. “We really, as a district, have done a great job for our transportation system,” said Superintendent Bill Smith. “We ended up with a high quality project.” The complex has been the culmination of around nine years of work, O’Dell said. With renovations happening through this past school year, they finally began the move on June 1 and are now in the final stages of moving in. “We’re about 99 percent finished,” O’Dell said. “We’re just wrapping up odds and ends.” The move itself, however, wasn’t easy. “It took a month to get through the move,” said Chief Mechanic Charles Justice. “All of our guys helped. We had to get all the parts over here. Now, we’re still in the process of reorganizing.” The new complex has plenty of room for organization. There are three separate rooms for parts, with items as small as nuts and

The complex also houses office space for department personnel, locker rooms and lounges for staff and the jewel of the building: a high tech meeting room facility. The room, which has large open windows, a built in projector and tables and chairs on wheels, fits up to 125 people and has a
kitchen attached to it. “We had nothing for staff development,” O’Dell said. “We have nothing else that is handicap accessible.” O’Dell said they held the last principal’s meeting of the school year in the room and received a lot of positive responses. “I love it,” Smith said. “We’re
going to be able to use it for the whole district.” O’Dell said the transportation department would get priority standing for the room, but that its overall uses are limitless. “It’ll be well used,” he said. “That’s why I’m calling it a comSee Bus, Page 2

Cabell officials and residents tackle drug problem By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com
Cabell County community groups, elected officials and residents sat down together to discuss solutions for the drug abuse problem plaguing the county. The meeting, held at Cabell Midland High School on Monday, was a legislative town hall organized by state Del. Carol Miller, Del. Kelly Sobonya and Sen. Evan
Jenkins. Sobonya said she brought this meeting together after witnessing the frustration and hurt due to drugs in the community. “I’m concerned for everyone’s children and families,” Sobonya said in a private interview. “I know through my role as a state legislator, I’ve come across a lot of people who have dealt with and struggled with addiction, including, like I mentioned, my nephew.”
Sobonya wasn’t the only one personally affected among the crowd of nearly 75 in the CMHS auditorium. When she asked the crowd to raise their hand if they had been affected by addiction in the community, every single hand was raised. “It has always been there,” said Barboursville Police Chief Mike Coffey before the meeting. “SomeSee Drugs, Page 4

plex. It’s certainly more than just a bus garage.” The bus garage portion of the complex is in itself a momentous feat, as the once overheated and squished employees now have the room they need to do their work efficiently. “This is all together different,” Justice said. “We have room here. We have room to keep it clean and we have room to organize all of our parts. Our guys really appreciate the garage here.” The bus garage includes seven bays each fitting two buses, allowing up to 14 buses to be worked on at one time. Each mechanic has his own toolbox and is required to clean his own area before going home. This is a big change from the old garage, which had a leaking roof and no air conditioning. “We desperately needed the new
building,” Smith said. “The conditions for the employees at the old building were deplorable.” The older building was made of metal, making some summer days have a roasting 100 degree inside temperature, Justice said. The roof leaked so much that desks had to be propped up on haphazard wooden blocks to avoid water damage during heavy rains. “It’s become a more attractive place to come and work,” O’Dell said. “We’re expecting productivity to increase a little bit. With air conditioning, you’re not so hot and tired at the end of the shift.” Increasing productivity and employee efficiency was definitely a part of the complex’s design, as seen by the automatic bus washer installed on the property. The bus washer, an addition costing over $100,000, will cut the time it

takes an employee to wash a bus by two thirds, Justice said. With the time being cut by an hour, the transportation department will save approximately 3,852 hours of labor per school year, or one hour for each bus each week. According to Smith, the bids for labor came in low, allowing the project to be expanded in special ways. “I’m extremely pleased with what we have,” he said. “We were able to get most of the ‘extras’ in. Usually it’s difficult to build these types of structures for the system because there is no designated money for it. We had to save the money ourselves.” O’Dell said the passing of the school levy was a big help. “Without the levy, we couldn’t do this stuff,” he said. “Kudos to the taxpayers. The fact that we’ve improved the property here is immense. It kind of rejuvenates the community.” Before the project started, Cabell County Schools sold one acre of the property to the Cabell County Public Library for one dollar. The library, which had been housed where the transportation center now resides, will be opening sometime in July. “It’s a win-win situation,” O’Dell said. “It’s good for the public.” Cabell County Schools begins their school year Aug. 6. The Cox Landing Transportation Complex will be in full use by that time.

Simple Life Consignments offers variety & service By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com
Thousands of items line the walls of the ever-changing Simple Life Consignments and Estate Sales shop in Culloden. From toys to tables, books to bottles, Simple Life offers customers a unique experience in the world of consignments. “I love what I do,” said owner Barbara Rutherford. “I absolutely love people and talking with customers, and I love what we do which is a lot.” Simple Life allows customers to bring in items they want sold without requiring an appointment, Rutherford said. “I believe that when people want to get rid of something in their house, they want to get rid of it ‘today,’ ” she said. “Because of this, our customers know that the merchandise changes daily so new items that are to your liking might be available every day or so.” Customer Anna Miller came to Simple Life for the first time Saturday, June 28, and by Tuesday, July 1, so much had changed. “If you see it, you better get it,” Miller said. “There’s a good chance it won’t be there next time you come in. Things changed so much in a matter of three days, and they

Dealers hire Simple Life to run their business, whether it is a new business or just an expansion. “They don’t have to quit their job and run their store if they don’t want to. I can run it for them,” she said. “They don’t ever have to be here.” Hillbilly Toys is one of those businesses, selling collectible toys such as original, still-in-the-box G.I. Joe’s and Transformers. The
owner rents the space from the consignment shop and collects a share of the sales. Rutherford also runs estate sales by going to the client’s home and selling for them. Whether it is a case of a death in the family, downsizing or moving, Simple Life will handle pricing and staffing with a free consultation. “It takes all of the stress off of the family,” Rutherford said. “We do it all. We go to the house, we price everything, staff the sale and we settle the profits in a matter of days. “It doesn’t cost to hire a profes-
Deadline to file for claims is August 1 Hon. Ronald G. Pearson, Judge for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, announced in an order that the deadline for all creditors to file claims in the Freedom Industries, Inc. bankruptcy case is Aug. 1, 2014. The deadline applies to all creditors including individuals and businesses that have claims caused by the Elk River Spill. Any party who does not file a claim by Aug. 1, 2014 will be excluded from filing a claim against Freedom Industries or its property. In a separate order, the Court has appointed James W. Lane, Jr., a lawyer at Flaherty Sensabaugh Bonasso PLLC, to serve as the Local Notice and Claims Agent. The Claims Agent serves on
behalf of the Court to assist in the administration of the case. Among other services, the Claims Agent will prepare and publish notices of the deadline to file proof of claims and offer limited clerical assistance to Claimants to aid them in meeting the Aug. 1, 2014 filing deadline. On Jan. 17, 2014 Freedom Industries, Inc. filed bankruptcy under federal law. A key step in resolving the bankruptcy case is to determine the losses that Elk River Spill Claimants and other creditors of Freedom Industries have sustained. “Individuals and businesses who want to file a claim in the Freedom Industries bankruptcy case can file on the Court’s website at www.wvsb.uscourts.gov,” Lane said. “It is very easy to file a claim
online and the website is very user friendly. “My staff is available to answer questions that people may have about the claims process by emailing us at claimagent@ elkriverwvspill.com or calling us at 866-245-0312.”
sional; it pays,” she said. Simple Life opened July 4, 2011, after Rutherford and her husband, Ken, moved to Culloden from Washington, D.C., in 2009. They ran a similar shop there that was 10,000 square-feet and offered the same services, Rutherford said. After finding jobs in the area, they decided it was not where their hearts were, she said. They opened the 4,500 square-foot store just across U.S. 60 from Culloden Elementary School. “We want to try to help small businesses succeed and help them not to make as many mistakes as I
did,” Rutherford said with a laugh. “I do care if their things sell. If their room isn’t selling, they’re not happy. “We try to give a pleasant experience. I make sure to say ‘hello’ to everyone who walks through the door and say ‘goodbye’ as they leave.” Simple Life only accepts items that are clean and in good condition, Rutherford said. “I want people to be able to buy gifts and not feel like they’re in a thrift store,” Rutherford said. The shop is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday noon to 5 p.m.

Weekly Devotional Submitted by Mary Jane “Helping those in need” Thought for the week: Psalms 82:3 (KJV) Defend the poor and fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and needy. Recently, while walking down the hall at a local hospital, I saw a young girl with a wailing baby boy in a stroller. She was shaking the stroller trying to quiet him and I asked if I might pick him up. “Yes” she replied “I have been here all day, I brought my sister in.” The baby felt so cold from the air conditioned building and was grabbing at his little clenched fists. As I tried to soothe the crying baby, I asked if the young girl had a pacifier. She did. Another lady came up with a blanket. I wrapped up the baby and soon he stopped the sobbing. When I put him back in the stroller, the girl asked if I had any money for food. I told her to go to the cafeteria and they would give her food. She said she had, but they only gave her a card for $4 and that would not buy a sandwich. I didn’t feel like I should give her money. Then as I left the hospital, I thought, how do you know what to do? Her appearance, her actions,
I should not have judged. The hospital had offered her food and for that amount she could have gotten herself a drink and given the baby a small milk to warm him. Was I only trying to quiet my conscious or should I have given her money and forgot the situation. Romans 12:20 says Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. There will always be those among us who need help that we may question. Since the beginning of time, the way we live decides our fate in life. Giving money from the heart, with good intentions that it will be used for the purpose needed, is all a person can do. How it is actually used is not our worry. God does see all. If this happens again, I will do as my son always does. I’ll take them and buy a meal. And I will not judge. Prayer: Lead us God to do the right thing and acknowledge you more closely, and not follow our own mind. Amen
Velma’s View Submitted by Velma Kitchens Parents As parents, I am sure we all have been saddened by all the babies who have been left in hot cars during the summer. I realize parenthood is overwhelming at times and sometimes we want to run away. And if that is what gets you through, take the week off and get some rest. Any relative would take care of your child while you rest up. Most of us have misplaced our children at one time or another, if you would admit it. I lost my daughter when she was three years old in the K-Mart in St Albans. I do feel like a bad mother, but let me just say, there was a communication breakdown. I thought she was
with dad and dad thought she was with me. See how this can happen? When we met up I found that my husband and son were together but not my daughter. I started to yell and scream and come totally unglued when the store’s intercom came on and a man said a little girl with a yellow windbreaker jacket was in the electronic section and wanted her mommy. I ran down that aisle like a mad woman - and I was. I was so happy to get my baby back. After that incident, we always made sure which parent the kids were with. Losing a child just for minutes is devastating. It can happen, so please watch out for the little people.

County’s courtroom work delayed By Jim Ross For The Cabell Standard Plans for a new courtroom in the Cabell County Courthouse are being scaled back as officials try to bring the project in line with the money they have available. At the commission meeting July 10 County Manager Chris Tatum said the commission is negotiating with the low bidder to bring the cost down. Bids were opened at the end of June, and the low bid was about $65,000 over budget. Tatum said the commission and the low bidder are discussing ways to remove some items from the project as a way of bringing the cost down. Tatum said the commission hopes to have a revised, reduced contract ready for approval at its next meeting, scheduled for July 24. Lombardi Development of Fol-

small courtroom used by Circuit Judge Chris Chiles. It is providing $150,000 to $200,000 to renovate the former law library into a suitable courtroom for Chiles Also at the meeting, commissioners said the bell tower on the top of the main courthouse dome was in bad shape when it was removed for repairs on July 9. “We’re very fortunate it didn’t fall off,” Commission President Nancy Cartmill said. The bell tower is sitting on the courthouse lawn on the 5th Ave. side. Repairs are to be completed and the tower placed back on the dome before the end of September. Angelina Stone and Marble of St. Clairsville, Ohio, received the contract for $246,725 to repair the deteriorating wood and metal structure. The company will paid be extra if it must repair any of the gold leaf on the dome or cupola.
Drugs From Page 1 thing like this brings it to light. Some people [in Barboursville] think we live in this bubble, but that’s not the case.” The panel, consisting of Miller, Sobonya, Del. Don Purdue and Jenkins, asked the city police chiefs and mayors of Huntington, Barboursville and Milton to present how the legislature could help their municipality. Barboursville’s biggest issue was with jail time. “Most of the people committing property crimes aren’t rotating in and out of jail, they aren’t making it to jail because the commission can’t pay the jail bill,” Coffey said. “If the legislature could just help us pay the jail bill that would help.” According to Cabell County Commission President Nancy Cartmill, it costs the county $50 per person per day to keep them in jail. “The Cabell County Commission is responsible for paying the jail bill for all the entities in Cabell County,” she said. “Your tax payer dollars this past year paid $3.5 million dollars to keep people in the jail. It’s costing you to keep people in jail.” Cabell County Prosecutor Sean “Corky” Hammers said another problem is the small jail sentences imposed upon serious abusers. “I need some bigger penalties,” he said. “I need some more years that I can put these people in prison. These people are getting paroled out after one year. “How about people like you who are in my jury, how about letting you decide what the penalty is rather than one person sitting on a bench? I think that would help.” Along with discussing the criminal justice system’s need for longer jail time and more officers, the meeting focused on prevention and rehabilitation, something Purdue said is often forgotten when discussing the fight against drugs. “We need to create a women’s
recovery facility now,” he said, to a roar of applause. He said The Healing Place in Huntington was a good example of how helpful recovery places could be. “That first million dollars that we invested in The Healing Place has returned dividends that are enormous,” he said. “There are 70 folks there now. They have graduates that are fully employed, that are back with their families. One of the folks there said now their mother has a son, their father has a son, and their sons and daughters have a father.” The Healing Place Director Matt Boggs said there was a time when he was arrested by both the Huntington police and the Boyd County police. But after rehabilitation he was able to graduate college with a 3.9 GPA and now spends time helping others. “The Healing Place of Huntington has been open since January of 2011,” he said. “When The Healing Place opened it was a vision. They served five men the first couple weeks. “We have 70 men down there sleeping tonight so you and the taxpayers aren’t paying for them to be in jail. “ Boggs said The Healing Place costs about $25 per man per day, considerably less than the $48.50 per person per day it costs the commission to keep someone in the regional jail. “So not only does it make economic sense, it makes socioeconomic sense,” he said. “You’re taking a person and making them a productive member of society. In 2014, we see we can’t arrest our way out of this problem. It’s going to take the efforts of everyone working together.” One attendee, Simon Morrison, said his son became addicted to Loratab after being overprescribed after several surgeries. When he

But not once did I say he was not my son. Because of the grace of God and The Healing Place of Huntington, my son got to graduate in the first class. “Now, he pays taxes - that means he’s contributing. He’s happy. He’s not a user anymore.” Sobonya said the county can expect more town halls in the future. “This is a beginning,” she said. “We’re not, by any means, just going to have a meeting and talk about it. I’m tired of talking about it- we need action. “I’m a person of action, as is Delegate Miller. We’re going to send a message that this isn’t welcome in our community.”
Cabell County Fair
The Cabell Standard
Thursday, July 17, 2014 - Page 5
Welcome to the 2014 Cabell County Fair Celebrating Cabell County Fair’s 31st Anniversary This year marks the 31st anniversary of the Cabell County Fair. The theme is “Blue Jeans & Country Dreams.” Throughout the years the Cabell County Fair Board, volunteers and 4-H and FFA members as well as state and local agencies and residents have put a lot of hardwork into making the fair what it is today. The Cabell County Fair started on the Little League Ballfields in 1983 where animals were kept in tents and participants had to build and paint the livestock pens each year. Today the fair is held at West Virginia Pumpkin Park in Milton surrounded by beautiful grounds, pavilions and nice buildings. This year’s fair week kicks off with a horse show on Saturday, July 19 at the Barboursville Community Park. The fair parade will take place on Sunday, July 20 followed by the crowning of the Cabell County
Fair Queen and Teen Queen on Monday, July 21. Additionally, the arts and craft, commercial booths and concessions will all be open Monday night. On Tuesday night, July 22 the children’s pageant will take place along with livestock showmanship and Motorcross.

4-H annual livestock auction facts The Annual 4-H Livestock Auction will begin at 7 p.m. Friday, July 25, at the Show/Sale Arena. Buying livestock at the fair is very simple. If you are interested in participating in the auction on Friday night, but are unable to bid, just tell one of the fair officials how much you would like to spend and they will bid for you. Following are some frequently asked questions about the annual auction: Q - Do you bid by the pound? A - Yes Q - What do I do with the animal after I purchase it? A – 1. Have it butchered and wrapped for gifts; 2. Have it butchered for a company picnic; 3. Have it butchered and wrapped for your own family; 4. Resell it at the livestock market. The difference between what you pay and the market price is tax deductible for both businesses and individuals who itemize as a donation. Q - How would I get it to the market or to be butchered and wrapped? A - The Cabell County Fair will help arrange for transportation for

A - Following are the average butchered weights: Hogs: 80% or 160+ lbs. on 200 lbs.; Steers: 60% or 600+ lbs. on 1000 lbs.; Lambs: 50% or 50+ lbs. on 100 lbs. Q - What does the 4-H participant do with the money they receive from the sale of the animal?
A - Some of the money will go to repay the original cost of the animal plus the cost of raising it. Profit is used for “seed” money for next year’s project or it can be used for college expenses, etc. Q - Can two individuals bid together for one animal? A – Absolutely. Splitting the cost is an excellent idea. Bring a friend to split costs or team up with someone at the fair.

Country duo to perform Friday Aly’An has quickly garnered a reputation for being the female country duo that has it all- amazing voices, beauty, brains, talent and an undeniable work ethic. Their group’s story began in Burgin, Ky, where, as little girls, Alyson Burke and Andrea Gross competed against each other in local singing competitions and eventually joined forces as a duo performing throughout jamborees. After years of singing together state-wide with local musicians, the girls decided to pursue a professional career in music, labeling themselves as Aly’An in 2008. As word spread and the fan base continued to grow, Burke and Gross won over audiences each weekend while remaining committed to finishing their college degrees. The Nashville Music Guide has described their music as having “Harmonies that blend so well you’d swear they were sisters.” Aly’An has already shared the stage with some of country music’s hottest entertainers including: Florida Georgia Line, Craig Morgan, Thompson Square, Kentucky Headhunters, John Michael Montgomery, Greg Bates, Cross

However, he said the fair board is working hard to ensure to provide an entertainment filled event. “We try to cater to everybody and anybody,” he said. “We try to make sure it’s something anybody can enjoy.” Clagg said families should feel comfortable coming to the fair knowing it is well secured. “I feel like it’s a safe environment,” he said. “We’re geared toward families and we have police patrolling throughout the week.” Despite changing entertainment with the times, the fair will still stick to its roots of agriculture and put on interesting, informative livestock shows led by the county’s youth. “The whole point of the fair, in my mind, is youth,” Clagg said. “It’s a big aspect of what we’re

ness,” said Buddy Davidson, Communications for the West Virginia Department of Agriculture. “We have the talent and we have the natural resources. We need to encourage young people to see it as a business for a profession.” The Cabell County Fair includes market rabbits, goats, lambs, swine and steer, in addition to other nonmarket animals. “Raising livestock is one of the best tools to teach kids, not just about science or animal husbandry, but about responsibility and taking on a project and sticking with it,” Davidson said. “They also get to see a concrete result at the end of the project. There’s accomplishment in that.” Call said she hopes more Cabell County residents will come and experience the agricultural section of the fair. “Come and talk to a 4H’er or FFA kid, meet the animal and pet the animal,” she said. “It’s getting an experience you never get otherwise.”

Jeff Bates takes the fair stage Friday night “As an artist, I have certain goals at this point in my life and that is to make the music that I want to make, without anybody saying it needs to be this way or you should do this,” Jeff Bates said. “I know I have the best fans in the world. They’ve been loyal and they’ve been with me through thick and thin. I know what they ask for and what they want to hear, so I want to make that kind of music. I want to make music that I’m proud of – just once – without it being filtered through everybody else’s creative mind.” That is exactly what he is doing, not only with just one album, but several that are currently in the works. Bates, a huge Conway Twitty fan, has started a new record simply titled “Me and Conway.” The collection will include six original tunes as well as six Conway Twitty classics, including some possible duets. “My fans have screamed for years for me to record some Conway Twitty songs,” Bates said. Other musical projects Bates has in the works include a Greatest Hits project as well as a unique Christmas concept CD. In the meantime, he is proudly co-managing and producing newcomer Michael Ray from his newly-built Bates Shop Studios. However, his life and career have not always been on such a positive path. Bates took a dark detour from life in the late 90s where drugs and alcohol overtook his world and landed him in jail. The day Bates woke up from behind the cold, metal bars, he knew that only one person could help him turn things around. “A lot of times you get trapped in a situation like that and you want to make a deal with God – get me out of here and I’ll be a better person,” Bates said. “I didn’t want that and I didn’t ask for that deal. I simply said I don’t want to be this person anymore … please help me be a better person. That was all I was after, no matter how long I had to stay in jail to do it.” Some are not nearly as fortunate as Bates when they find themselves in that kind of situation, but he is one of the few who stayed strong in his choice to change. Just two years after being released from jail, Bates inked his first record deal with RCA Records and released his debut album, “Rainbow Man”. Three more albums would follow for Bates, including “Leave the Light On” (also on RCA) and his self-titled project and “One Day Closer,” both on Black River Entertainment. However, his greatest accomplishment through it all is not scoring his first top ten single or having a hit album under his belt, it’s being a loving father to his beautiful daughter, Brianna.
“Being a daddy is my number one job,” Bates said. “Nothing is as satisfying to me as being that little girl’s daddy. I try to give her a normal life when there’s nothing normal about doing what I do. One of the biggest changes with fatherhood for me is making decisions based on what’s good for her, rather than just what’s good for me or my career. God gave and trusted me and my wife with this little life, and I think that’s number one. What’s most important is making sure that she’s not only taken care of, but that we put thoughts into what we do to make her grow into the person we want her to be. She is so amazing. I’ve been around a lot of kids in my life and I’ve never seen a child this young that’s this smart. She scares me sometimes!” Being new parents has also helped the Bates’ become more aware of those in need, especially when it comes to children. Compassion International flew Bates and his wife to South Africa to see first hand the work they do to help aid families seek much needed care, medical attention and education. “It changed my life forever,” Bates said of the emotional trip that encouraged him and his wife to sponsor a child through the organization. “These families get up every day and it’s a struggle to find something to eat. I think that takes so much courage. To see that level of poverty and then to see the heart and spirit of these people, where
they’re just glad you came and for whatever it is they have and they want to share it with you, I had never seen anything like this in my life. It has become a big passion of mine to help them.” While continuing to work on his own musical projects, his book, working with other artists and being a full-time daddy, Bates also maintains a busy touring schedule each year, as well as speaking engagements to share his story with those to help prevent them making the wrong decisions in life as he did some 20 years ago. “I share it all through song and story,” said Bates, who won the ICM Faith, Family & Country Awards title for Mainstream Country Artist in 2011. “I share the trials and tribulations to drug addiction, going to jail, finding Jesus in jail and what he’s done in my life the past 11 years. I’ve been clean and sober now 11 years.” Not a single day goes by for Bates that he doesn’t count his life’s blessings. Bates takes pride in being an inspiration to others and is honored to give back in any way he can, especially through music. “There are so many things out there competing for entertainment,” Bates said. “I just want to make the music that I want to make for the people who want to hear it and continue to grow that fan base. It’s been so Jeff Bates will perform at 9 p.m. Friday, July 25 at the outdoor much fun. My fans have been a stage. Attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair or blanket. huge blessing and I love making music for them.”

Matt Stillwell was born in the mountains of North Carolina and has loved music all of his life… well, music and sports. During college, athletics was Stillwell’s priority, not music. At Western Carolina University, he was an All-Conference performer on the baseball team, playing both infield and outfield. Touted as a probable major league draft choice during his junior season at WCU, he chose music over baseball. “I could have chased the dream and went and tried out and played independent ball, but I thought, ‘If I’m going to chase something, I’d rather it be music,’” he said. In late 2008, he released his debut single. “Shine” debuted at number 25 on iTunes country chart and the accompanying music video reached number five on CMT Pure and breaking into the Top 10 on GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown. Stillwell has been touring in his custom wrapped bus called
“The Mule” across the country headlining his own shows, as well as opening for country superstars such as Dierks Bentley, Jason Aldean, Gloriana, Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton and performing at huge music festivals like Country Thunder. Matt has released his sophomore album “Right On Time” to much fan anticipation. “This album means a lot to me on several levels,” he said. “We’ve been playing a few of these songs live for a while now and people have been asking for the whole album, so it’ll be great to get it in their hands. For me this is also a collection of songs that I really believe in and that I’m proud of, so it’s a step in the right direction as an artist.” To him the album is “pun intended: it’s right on time.” The winner of Cabell County Fair’s Upstage contest will open for Stillwell before his performance at 9 p.m., Saturday, July 26.

Barboursville catcher Noah Farrar rounds second base as his teammates look on from the dugout.

Barboursville 9-10 year-old Little League Manager Eric Fetty speaks with his team following their 11-1 victory over Pineville on Sunday at Little Creek Park in South Charleston.
Barboursville Little League teams advance By: Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Success comes as no surprise to the Barboursville Pirates 9-10 year-old Little League baseball program, where expectations have been high all season with only one goal in mind, to win a state title. On Sunday the Pirates defeated Pineville 11-1 in five innings to conclude their pool play portion of the West Virginia Little League State Tournament. The team will now begin the single elimination portion of the bracket. Other Barboursville’s baseball and softball teams are also advancing. The 50/70 boys won the state title, and will move on to play in the Southeast Regional in Apopka, Fla., July 17-21. “We’re looking forward to going down there,” said head coach Dell Adkins. “We came up a couple runs short last year from moving on to Williamsport and being on ESPN, so the kids really want to win this time.”
The team is excited to have an opportunity just to play in Florida, coach said. The Barboursville 50/70 team has eight returning players from last year’s squad which nearly made a showing in Williamsport, Pa. for the Little League World Series. There are also four new players this season taking in the experience. “They are still kids though so, they want to go to Disney World and have fun,” Adkins said. The Barboursville junior girls prevailed 10-0 over Beckley and beat Grant County 11-1 to advance in tournament play. Also the 9-10 Barboursville girls won 10-3 over Elk District this past weekend and 11-0 over Summersville. The team was expected to play again at the beginning of this week. Additionally, the Barboursville 9-10 year-old baseball team triumphed over Ceredo-Kenova in four innings. The team advanced and was set to play Bridgeport for the state title Wednesday evening. Following the 9-10 year-old
Little League baseball team’s 11-1 win on Sunday, Barboursville manager Eric Fetty said he actually expected his lineup to perform even better than they did, although they won the shortened game by way of ten run rule in only five innings of play. “We had a good first inning,” Fetty said. “Then we were just kind of on hold for a couple innings which is pretty uncharacteristic for us.” Solid pitching is always at the forefront of any baseball season when it comes to the stretch run and Barboursville has plenty of it to go around. “We kept battling and we went into the game with a plan of holding our pitchers all at twenty pitches, that way everybody is available to start the single elimination tournament,” he said. “We were able to work that plan and get through it. “Our pitchers have been great, throwing strikes, keeping the ball down low, and the defense has worked and made outs. I’ve been
very impressed with our pitching.” Two years ago Barboursville 9-10 year olds made it all the way to the District 1 final where they eventually suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 walk-off defeat against Ceredo-Kenova. This season, the Pirates beat the Wayne Pioneer All-Stars 13-0 to win the District 1 championship on June 28 in Huntington. Barboursville notched their first win of pool play in the West Virginia State Tournament with a 12-0 win over Sophia. This past weekend concluded pool play, now Barboursville ventures into the single elimination portion of bracket play, where it’s win or go home. “The team was able to work and get through pool play. I’m happy, but at the same time we still have a lot of work to do,” the Pirates manager said. Barboursville shortstop Jackson Fetty brought the Pineville game to a close when he nailed a bases clearing triple.
“I think my hitting was the best part of my game today,” Fetty said. “The best thing I did was get the game winning hit.” Fetty’s big hit enforced the ten run rule. “We did outstanding,” said Barboursville’s catcher Noah Farrar. “We hope to win the state championship and move on to regionals.” As for center fielder Ethan Jeffrey, he said he felt like he did great following the win over Pineville, but also says there’s still plenty for the team to work on going forward. “We need to work on fielding the ball and our defense,” Jeffrey said. “I think our hitting was good, but we want to win the state championship.” When asked what the team would like to accomplish by season’s end, one commonality rang out, and that’s winning the state title. State title or no state title, it’s been an extremely successful 2014 season for the 9-10 year-old program which always seems to expect nothing less.
5-year-old Milton boy bitten by timber rattle snake By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com A young Milton resident has returned home after a nasty run in with a venomous timber rattle snake. Josiah Shull, 5-years-old, was outside playing with his sister and some friends catching lightning bugs along the left fork of Cooper Ridge when the snake bit him. Shull’s grandmother, Virginia Shull, said they were at a friend’s house putting down wood flooring when the kids were in the backyard playing. “The next thing we know our granddaughter comes running in the house frantically saying that Josiah had been bitten by a snake,” she said. “He yelled at me that he had been snake bitten, so I scooped him up and his toe was bleeding.” Josiah was first taken to St. Mary’s Hospital where he was
Josiah Shull of Milton was bitten by a timber rattle snake. treated. From there he was sent to Cabell Huntington Hospital to the pediatrics center where he received antivenom and spent time in intensive care. Poisonous snake bites must be treated immediately with antivenom, when the infection begins to set in, skin cells die and will eventually fall off. The venom from the timber rattler caused Josiah’s foot to swell nearly twice its size. “He’s doing better now, he’s walking on it,” Virginia Shull said.
“It was swollen really bad, black and blue, but it’s gone down a lot and he’s walking on it now and doing alright.” The doctor seemed to think the tissue will return to normal once again, she said. Timber rattlesnakes often remain unnoticed due to their cryptic colors and camouflage patterns. “We never knew timber rattlesnakes were common in this area, we knew about black snakes, green snakes and copperheads, but we had no idea timber rattlers were around this area,” Shull said. According to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, it’s rare for someone to die from a venomous snake bite as long as the victim receives the proper medical treatment as soon as possible. “If you don’t go to the doctors then you run into some serious problems,” said Jim Fregonara, who is on the West Virginia Divi-
sion of Natural Resources State Advisory Committee. Most fatalities occur when people don’t want to go to the doctor, which is about the worst thing someone can do in a poisonous snake bite situation, he said. There are only two venomous snakes in West Virginia, the rattlesnake and the copperhead. Fregonara advises residents to educate themselves and know what a copperhead or timber rattler looks like. There hasn’t been a fatality from a copperhead snake bite in roughly 50 years. “It’s really, really rare to die from a copperhead bite,” Fregonara said. He said the urgency of the situation depends on the severity, and how much venom is injected into the victim, or where the bite happens to be on the body, he said. Also, if the fangs go deep into
the body and a full load of venom is injected, the victim is in serious trouble. “Sometimes only one fang will connect when the snake bites down and other times no venom will be injected at all, these types of bites are known as ‘hollow bites or dry bites,’ which actually tend to occur about 40 percent of the time,” Fregonara said. Timber rattlesnakes are thickbodied snakes which may reach a length of five feet. They are known to live up to 30 years. “If you see a snake and you’re not too sure about it, just stay away from it,” he said. “They can only strike out about half of their body length, so if you see a snake coiled up, at least stay about half of its body length away.” The timber rattle snake is the official West Virginia state reptile. It’s also quite secretive and passive unless provoked, he said.
