Team headed to World Series

Cabell County Fair Queen photos, Page 6 50 Cents Volume 116 Issue 29

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com The Barboursville Little League 50/70 Boys squad is set to begin play at the Intermediate Baseball Division World Series at Max Baer Park in Livermore, California. “It’s one of the things you dream about obviously and it’s one of the things the boys have talked about since we started practice,” said Barboursville 50/70 boys head coach Dell Adkins. “We talked about going from coast to coast, from Florida to California, and to see it actually pan out is exciting.” This is the second season the Intermediate Little League World Series will be held at Max Baer Park and the second season for the tournament overall. Last year was the inaugural season for the World Series which is held for players ages 11-13. The event is played at the home of Granada Little League. Barboursville will represent the state of West Virginia as the Southeast regional champion. The team finished Pool A play in Apopka, Fla. with a record of 2-0. West Virginia beat Florida 18-4 in the first game on July 18. Then they crushed North Carolina on Saturday July 19, by the final of 22-5, in order to advance and earn the number one seed in Pool A play. “I think the difference in this year’s team is timely hitting with runners on base,” Adkins said. “This year we’re capitalizing on

She won the title and the crown Monday evening beating out four of her competitors. “I am overwhelmed right now,” Maynard said after the competition. “I’m just happy I get to represent the county I wanted to.” First runner up was Courtney Mobley, 19, of Red House; second runner up was Hannah Nicole Rauhecker, 17, of Huntington and third runner up was Elizabeth Patrick, 16, of Huntington. The Miss Congeniality award went to Courtney Perry, 19, of Huntington and Miss Photogenic went to Rauhecker. Cabell Midland High School student Katie Riedel, 14, won the Teen Queen competition. First runner up was Miranda Alexis Chaffins, 15, of Huntington and second runner up was Brianna Marie Osburn, 15, of Hurricane. The pageant consisted of four parts: a private interview in the early afternoon, casual wear, an onstage interview and evening gown. Kelsey Siebert, 2013 Cabell County Fair Teen Queen, provided entertainment during intermissions while judges tallied points. Originally of Chapmanville, Maynard spends the school year in Huntington pursuing a degree in Public Relations from Marshall. On stage, she said her future lies at Marshall as well. “I want to be a professor at Marshall’s W. Page Pitt School of Journalism,” she said, when asked about her future aspirations. “I really have to owe it all to the professor I had.” Maynard enjoys giving back to the community by volSee Queen, Page 5

Milton Police Department cracks down on drugs By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The Milton Police Department’s crack down on illegal drug abuse is starting to become more and more visible within the city. “Dealers won’t sell drugs in the city right now,” said Chief Chuck Zerkle. “They won’t come here because of us.” Milton officers started cracking down around three years ago, when

community tips showed there was an ongoing meth problem throughout the city. Now, meth is much harder to find. “We’ve gotten rid of most of the meth labs in Milton,” said Sgt. Kyle O’Dell, a five-year veteran of police department. “I’m sure there are still some using, but they aren’t getting it as much in the town.” Zerkle said meth users have also decreased, but that doesn’t mean the drug problem is completely

going away. “The way we’re seeing it, meth is fading into the background,” he said. “Heroin is taking its place.” Zerkle said a lot of heroin addicts start as pain medicine addicts.

Cabell County Schools staff up By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The Cabell County Board of Education will hold a special session to reduce the 45 vacant full-time teacher spots before the school year begins. The public session will take place at 4 p.m. Tuesday, July 29. The meeting is happening at the end of a summer filled with late retirements and teacher transfers. “Hopefully, we’ll make some ground that night,” said Assistant Superintendent Todd Alexander. “The more full-time people we have working in our buildings, the better off we are.” Alexander, who is in charge of the hiring process for professional and service professional, said West Virginia offered a $500 incentive for retirees announcing their retirement by Jan. 15, but many had not made their decision by that point. “The reason they do that is because that’s the time we are planning staffing for the next year,” he said. “That’s when we have to decide who gets laid off.” Despite the late retirees, the county only had to lay off two teachers this year, both of whom have already found new jobs, Alexander said. Alexander was able to save the jobs of dozens of other teachers thanks to a new state law that allows him to automatically transfer teachers into unfilled positions before posting the job for bids. “It was a lot less work and a lot less stressful,” he said. For the

upcoming year’s staffing, however, transferring teachers will not be an option. “The state has what is called a stay put date for teachers,” he said. “Within 20 days of the first day of school, we are not allowed to transfer teachers from one school to another. What we will be able to do on the 29th is if we have any new hires, we can go ahead and hire them.” Alexander said teachers requesting transfers may still be approved, but their transfer will not take effect until next school year. The empty position for which they were approved will instead receive a permanent substitute for the year. This system allows the school the teacher is transferring from to have ample time to find a qualified candidate. “The way the hiring process works now, a lot of emphasis is put on the principal’s and faculty senate’s recommendation,” Alexander said. “In the past, the process seemed to favor seniority. Seniority really isn’t the determining factor now.” No matter what happens during Tuesday’s school board meeting, Alexander said all classrooms will have an instructor. “If we were starting school tomorrow, we would have 45 certified substitutes in those classrooms,” he said. “We will not have any empty classrooms.” The stay put date for Cabell County was July 17. School begins Aug. 6.

Suddenlink opens new store in Teays Valley By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Employees and regional officials celebrated the opening of the brand new state-of-the-art Suddenlink store located in Teays Valley. “This new store is very different from the way a traditional cable store used to be,” said Michael Kelemen, director of government relations for the Atlantic Region at Suddenlink. “It’s much more hands on, customers can actually try out some of the different devices we have on display and see the services for themselves that we offer.” Previously, the building housed an old Blockbuster movie rental, but now it’s newly renovated and ready to go. The new retail center showed off the sparkling new interactive displays throughout the renovated storefront. An open house and ribbon cutting for the new location was held on July 15. At the state-of-the art store customers can come in, play around, and experiment with the electric devices for themselves. “In West Virginia we have retail centers like this one in Beckley, Princeton, Parkersburg, we also

Marshall offers online Master of Arts in Journalism, New Media Studies The W. Page Pitt School of Journalism and Mass Communications at Marshall University is offering a fully online graduate program in New Media Studies beginning this fall. It is a 30-credit-hour program that serves individuals who want to enter mass communications for the first time or veterans who are retooling for a changing industry. The online Master of Arts in Journalism maintains the school’s commitment to advanced study and research, but it approaches mass communications’ storytelling and graduate scholarship in innovative ways. Students will study, write, design and produce digital work that

will be distributed through emerging technology including mobile devices. The “master’s initiative” requirement of the program is a three-semester project that produces a non-traditional thesis. Six hours of branch electives help students tailor the program to meet their individual needs and interests. “We are excited to begin offering this new online master’s degree that will allow students the flexibility and innovative coursework to meet the demands of the 21st century mass media,” said Dr. Robert Rabe, graduate coordinator for the school of Journalism and Mass Communications. “Students will be able to tailor

an individualized sequence of courses and experiences that prepare them for exactly the kinds of careers they hope to pursue.” In addition to the new program, the School of Journalism and Mass Communications offers its traditional Master of Arts in Journalism, an M.A.J. with a health care emphasis and three free-standing 15-hour certificate programs in Media Management, Integrated Strategic Communications and Digital Communications. For more information about the programs, and for admission requirements, contact Rabe by phone at 304-696-2360, or visit the school’s website, www.marshall. edu/sojmc.

and come in and experiment with the products. Suddenlink currently has five agents working at its new location. They are always available and ready to help, Kelemen said. “It’s not like the old bank teller buildings,” he said. “Now we’re out on the floor talking to customers and showing them the services we provide, so it’s great.” Suddenlink Retail Sales Supervisor Kara Meadows said the employees really enjoy the new store and the improved retail environment. “We have all of our lab displays out now, all of our retail agents can show every customer that walks through the door what Suddenlink has to offer,” Meadows said. Customers can now come in and look at the technology live and see how the products will work before they make a purchase Meadows says. “Everything customers can try out in here they’re going to be able to do in their own home.” The store is located at 168 Great Teays Boulevard, Scott Depot or 1-800-972-5757.

Weekly Devotional Submitted by Mary Jane “Birthdays” One man esteemeth one day above another; another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Romans 14:5 (KJV) Birthdays come and go. We all add another year to our lives as the calendar turns. There are several July birthdays for our family, a day to recognize and be thankful for. God has granted you another day to enjoy His beautiful earth. Sometimes one birthday will standout more than others. Mine was at age 14. My sister-in-law had planned to take me and my niece and nephews to the pool. It came a summer downfall of rain, so we could not go, but she made a delicious chocolate pie and brought it to me. That took care of it and I always remember that. She has passed on now, but she made many pies for people on their birthdays which was tasty and thoughtful and appreciated. Seems as though no one has enough time. Yet every day a new invention is at our fingertips to save us time. So are we using it wisely or rushing thru the days not

acknowledging how quickly the hours pass? Read Job in the bible. My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle, and spent without hope. Job 7:6. If you have ever sat and watched someone weave a rug on a machine or watched someone knit, you see how fast their hand moves the needle in and out the threads and yarns. O remember that my life is wind; mine eye shall no more see good. Job 7:7. Our days can be compared to the wind, swiftly they can go unseen. For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow, Job 8:8. God created you and gave you life for a reason. Each of us has a job to do for Him in return, have you found yours? You will have a more peaceful life, if you believe, trust and do Gods will. Birthday and every day is time to say thank you God for life; and to tell someone else of his goodness and plan beyond this present life. Prayer: Thank you God for each day you allow us to live on your beautiful earth, for all your provide us with. Amen.

Velma’s View Submitted by Velma Kitchens The hanging tree Several years ago I inquired through a local newspaper about the hanging tree which is in front of the courthouse in Winfield. I suppose the tree is still there as I have not been by that way in a while. My great-grandma went to a hanging there and she said she would never go again to a hanging. My great-grandma was my mom’s grandma and she lived in Painter Hollow which is almost at the end of Buzzard Creek. Anyway, this tree was used, as I have been told, to hang the people who were convicted and sentenced to hang. I don’t know the last person who was hung on that tree but I guess it made people stop and think before they did anything worthy of

a hanging. Several people wrote into the paper and gave a history of the tree. I like history and should anyone have any stories I would like the hear them. I also heard about a hanging tree out on Hurricane Creek Road. I had never heard about that one before. I guess back in the old days you heard your sentence and a hanging was held within days. I did hear about a lot of innocent people being hung on the hanging tree. I believe I heard that the last person to be hanged in the United States was in Kansas, but I will have to investigate that one. How is the Bible reading coming along? This year is half over.

County commission approves money for Adult Drug Court By Jim Ross For The Cabell Standard With state funding for drug screens in Adult Drug Court reduced, Cabell County officials moved $12,000 around their budgets to pay for the screens this fiscal year. The commission on July 10 approved a request from Prosecuting Attorney Sean K. Hammers to provide his office with an additional $6,000 in appropriations. Hammers said he can move around another $6,000 in his office’s budget for this fiscal year to provide the remainder that is needed. In a letter to the commission, Hammers said the state Supreme Court reduced funding for drug screens for people in the Adult Drug Court program. The Drug Court offers drug and alcohol offenders treatment, rehabilitation and strict community supervision. Participants are high-risk felony drug offenders at risk of substance abuse relapse, his letter said. At the commission meeting, Hammers said new participants in the program must be screened at least three times a week. Without screening, the program is not effective, he said.

County Manager Chris Tatum said the Drug Court has saved the county money by reducing its bill for housing inmates in the regional jail system. Hammers said the Drug Court just graduated its most recent class and the newest class is scheduled to begin soon. Mike Lacy, director of the Supreme Court, said after the meeting the Legislature directed the Supreme Court to add drug courts throughout the state, but it did not supply the funding. As part of that, the Supreme Court reduced the fee it paid to counties for collecting urine samples, he said. The Supreme Court still pays for the drug test at the lab, but it cut in half what it pays for collecting the samples, he said. The commission approved Hammers’ request 3-0. In other business, the commission: * Accepted a grant of $79,253 from the state Division of Justice and Community Services for the first phase of updating security equipment in the courthouse. * Accepted a $2,500 grant from the Community Participation Grant Program for the Carter G. Woodson Memorial Foundation for the purpose of repairs to the Memphis

Tennessee Garrison House. * Approved the fiscal year 201415 home confinement budget for the county. * Approved the fiscal year 201415 special funds budget for the county. * Hired the following people as EMTs on an as-needed basis at $9.168 per hour: Joy Lavon Ross of Hurricane; Merri Christina Henry of Waterloo, Ohio; Beth Anne Millay of Blaine, Ky.; Zachary Allen Chancey of Elizabeth, W.Va.; and Anthony Dale Johnson of Huntington. * Employed David Lee Simmons of St. Albans as a paramedic as needed at $12.226 per hour. * Approved the reclassification of Raymond Carroll from per diem paramedic to full-time paramedic. * Donated a 2004 Dodge Durango to the Ohio River Road Volunteer Fire Department to replace a 2000 Chevrolet Blazer currently in use. A letter from Robert S. Miller, deputy chief and treasurer of the VFD, said the Blazer needs extensive repairs and the department does not have funds to buy a new vehicle to replace it. * Agreed to sell a small parcel of land along W.Va. Route 10 to the state Division of Highways for $1,500.

Chemical spill claims due by Aug. 1 By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com The deadline for individuals and businesses to file claims against Freedom Industries is a week away and not many claims have been filed. James Lane, a lawyer at Flaherty Sensabaugh Bonasso, held a public meeting Friday at the Putnam County Courthouse with the hope of increasing awareness of the approaching deadline. He was appointed by the bankruptcy court to serve as the Local Notice and Claims Agent. “Basically, it’s for people who had to pay out of pocket to buy water or drive to get good water. Some people have filed claims for hotel bills and water filters,” Lane said. “Then there’s a lost wage category of claims that would, for the most part be restaurants, and some people have filed because of medical bills, rashes and similar things.” On Jan. 9 the state issued a do not use water alert for 300,000 customers of West Virginia American Water Co. after about 7,500 gallons of MCHM leaked from a Freedom Industries tank into the Elk River. The governor’s office quickly declared a state of emergency in the nine affected counties. Fifty days later, the state lifted the state of emergency.

Much of Putnam County gets its water from the Putnam Public Service District or the city of Hurricane. Portions of Putnam County were affected by the chemical spill. Lane encouraged those who incurred expenses due to the spill to file a claim. Lane said he has received in the range of 135 to 140 claims, which is less than expected. He expects things will pick up in the remaining days due to human nature kicking in and procrastination. He said that receipts do not need to be filed with a claim, but he encouraged people to send in the receipts if they have them. That way no one is left wondering whether or not it’s a valid claim. “Certainly, if people have receipts, but they elect not to file receipts with their claims, they should hang on to them because at some point they may be asked if they have receipts,” Lane said. Lane said businesses do need to figure out how they’ve calculated their losses. It’s a little more complicated for businesses to figure out lost profits or increased expenditures, he said. Businesses need to explain to some degree how they’ve arrived at their final calculations. “The judge has been pretty clear that there is going to be a distribution on claims, it likely won’t be

100 percent of claims, but it will be a distribution,” Lane said. Lane said an additional benefit to filing a claim is having a voice in the bankruptcy case and a vote on the plan. If you don’t file a claim, then you have no voice and no say, Lane said. A lot of people may not really care about the money, but they may care deeply about the situation and how it gets resolved. He said you lose that right if you don’t file a claim. In order to resolve a chapter 11 bankruptcy case, there needs to be a plan of reorganization, Lane said. A plan is a document, if approved by the court, then everything becomes binding by all parties in the case. Afterwards, everyone moves forward pursuing the terms of the plan put in place, but you do not get to comment on it unless you file a claim in the case Lane said. Lane visited businesses in Putnam County on Friday encouraging them to file. Persons who were harmed by the Jan. 9 chemical spill must file a claim by Aug. 1. It can be done by completing a written form or completing an online form at the bankruptcy’s website www. uscourts.gov. For more information call 866-245-0312 or email claimagent@elkriverspill.com

Local men attend Vectren Dayton Air Show Jim Parsons, and his oldest son Rusty, arrived a couple of days early for the annual Vectren Dayton Air Show held in Dayton, Ohio. Arriving at air show headquarters at the Dayton International Airport, both men were filled with anticipation as The Blue Angels were due to arrive June 28. Checking in at the media room, the two greeted friends from previous air shows especially Sheila Wallace, a retired school teacher, who is in charge of all media events at the show. A surprise was in store for Wallace. As she had always been so nice to all media members attending the shows, Parsons decided to make her a framed poster of photos he had taken during past events. The photo was of the Air Force Thunderbirds and the Navy’s Blue Angels, in Delta Formation, flying toward each other. Later in the media room, Parsons presented the gift with the inscription “Especially for Sheila Wallace.” After giving Parsons a hug, Wallace said, “You’ve made my day.” Then, the Parsons were taken by golf cart to the media tent area where they awaited the arrival of the Blue Angels. At approximately 10 a.m., the Blue Angels arrived, in the famous Delta Formation, passing low over the runway in front of the media. They zoomed into the sky, broke formation and landed, one by one, taxiing within a few yards, then

Commander John Filtz whose hometown is Fort Mitchell, Ky. Standing six-feet, six-inches Filtz barely made the height requirement to fly with the Blue Angels. He played basketball at Notre Dame University and graduated in May, 2002 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, cum laude. He was commissioned through the Naval Reserve Officers

Filtz answered, “A G-suit would restrict our movement controlling the stick due to its inflating and deflating during our sharp turns creating high G-force on our bodies. We do regular exercises to develop our muscles so that we can flex them as we do high G-force maneuvers which restricts blood flow to our brain, otherwise, we would pass out.” After about 15 minutes of questions, the group was asked to return to the media tent.

Friday was the practice session for the complete Air Show, including the official announcer. The show was open to the public on Saturday and Sunday. Performing acts during the Air Show were some returning from last year, especially the P-51 Mustang that was flown during World War II by the African-American Tuskegee airmen pilots who escorted B-17 bombers to their targets over Germany. During the weekend, Parsons and his son also visited the National Air-Space Museum.

It was Maynard’s onstage comments as well as her private interview that helped her win the title. “She was exceptionally well spoken,” said Ashley Starling, pageant judge and former Miss Wayne County Fair. “She was very relatable and easy to talk to. The biggest job of a fair queen is talking to people, so that was really important to us.” Maynard will rule over the 2014 Cabell County Fair with Teen Queen Riedel.

Parsons asked a question that he said had been on his mind for a long time, “Being a pilot myself and encountering turbulence from time to time, how do you and the other Blue Angels handle turbulence?” Filtz replied, “We don’t, flying within 18 inches from wing tip to wing tip, we do nothing because all four planes react to the turbulence as a unit. It affects all four planes the same.”

Pageant Director Gretchen Pingley, who was recently crowned Mrs. All-Star United States, said the two girls will be all over the fair this week. They will also participate in a variety of public appearances throughout the year and help with promotions for next year’s fair. She said this years competitors had a great experience, on and off the stage. “It’s a growing experience,” she said. “It’s a little intimidating the first time you do it. But I also think they are building life skills.” Maynard will participate in the West Virginia Fairs and Festivals Pageant held in Charleston in January, coached by Pingley. She said she is ready to bring the prestigious title home to Cabell County. “I will try my best,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to that.”

Nearly 140 high school students from around the state attended the West Virginia Sheriff’s Association Youth Leadership Academy in Ona, W.Va. The camp is open to entering freshman students through graduated seniors and requires a 2.0 GPA to apply.

Local youth learn skills from law enforcement By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

Ona was filled with high school students from across the state last week, as nearly 140 campers participated in the annual West Virginia Sheriff’s Association Youth Leadership Academy. The academy, which took place from July 13-18, featured law enforcement presentations, physical education and discipline, while also showing campers a great time. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for us to help the kids,” said Cabell County Sheriff Tom McComas, academy commandant and presi-

dent of the West Virginia Sheriff’s Association’s Board of Directors. “Lots of parents wrongfully have their kids be scared of law enforcement. This gives the kids an opportunity to get to know our departments.” Ten counties sent officers to staff the camp, with additional officers from Cabell and Kanawha counties also providing some of the demonstrations. “They develop friendships with the officers, staff and each other,” McComas said. “I think they like the experience they get here. They learn about the realities and the difference between reality and the

drama on television.” Cabell Midland High School Sophomore Jordyn Bryson said she enjoyed the presentation by the Kanawha County EOD, the unit responsible for dismantling bombs. “It was an opportunity to do things you really don’t get to do,” she said. “The people who talk to us are real people. It’s cool to learn about real people and the stuff they do.” Despite the educational activities at the camp, there is still plenty of time for fun and fooling around. “We have game night where we play a lot of games and laugh our butts off,” she said. “I had a lot of

fun and I made a lot of new friends. It’s a place to make friends and learn things about yourself.” Cpl. Rick Honaker of Greenbrier County, a staff member since 2009, said he wants campers to have fun while learning to be better people. “I like to do this because we’re trying to teach kids to do the right things in life,” he said. “We try to teach them responsibility and some leadership, but we have fun with them, too.” To get into the camp, students must have at least a 2.0 GPA and a letter of recommendation from a teacher or school counselor.

After students attend the camp, the camp staff keeps up with them throughout the year, making sure they stay on the right path and helping them out if they need it, Honaker said. “We’ve gotten phone calls from lots of former campers asking for recommendations,” he said. “I still keep up with campers from years ago. I can’t see myself doing anything else. It’s a family – it’s an extended family.” The camp cost $50 per student, with some counties offering scholarships for those who need them.

that, which we didn’t do last year. We’ve had a lot of hits and two out home runs, and our pitching has been great. We’ve held teams to six or seven runs each game, which is what we did last year, but this year we’ve had the timely hitting to go along with it.” On Sunday, July 20 West Virginia beat number two seed South Carolina 11-9 and advanced to the Southeast Regional Championship game, where they faced a rematch against the same Florida team they had already beaten in the first match-up. Much like the first time around, West Virginia scored a ton of runs and blew past the hometown team 18-7 to win the Southeast regional championship. Adkins said the boys just have a team first attitude and they’ve bought into what the staff is preaching this season. “I have twelve guys who could play for almost any team in the country,” he said. “To know that a state like West Virginia can get to the World Series, it’s great exposure for the Barboursville Little League.”

With the way Little League rules are set up, three players have to sit out, and then three of them have to play, Adkins said. Six kids get to play the whole game and six kids will be subbing in and out, but it’s not always the same kids. The 50/70 Intermediate Division plays on a different field than other Little League teams. The playing dimensions are 50 feet from pitching mound and 70 feet base paths. It’s designed to prepare kids for the bigger field as the rules are more adapted to the rules of big league baseball as they can lead off and such. It’s open for Boys ages 11-13.

West Virginia will join teams from all over the globe in California, including teams from as far away as Korea, which has already won the Asia-Pacific division. Other international divisions that competed for the right to earn a birth in the World Series include Canada, Europe-Africa and Latin America. “We are very excited to have the Intermediate Little League World Series return to Livermore and the CA District 57 area,” said CA57 District Administrator Dave Wetmore. “Last year, Granada was a fabulous host and all of the CA57

Livermore for the Intermediate Little League World Series. The final game, which was broadcast worldwide on ESPN, found the Izumisano Little League squad from Osaka, Japan defeating the Collier Township/Chartiers Valley Little League team to take the championship. “If history repeats itself, normally the Southeast region does pretty well,” Adkins said. “We may never get out to California again, so we’re going to take it all in and we hope to represent the Southeast region well.”

Reds camp helps teach youth baseball skills By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Youth from Putnam and Cabell counties joined others from West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky for a baseball camp hosted by the Cincinnati Reds in Hurricane. Although the camp is in its third year, it’s the first time in Hurricane. The camp teaches baseball fundamentals and techniques to boys and girls ages 6-14. “It is a wonderful experience for all who attend,” said field director John Sullivan. “Our curriculum is put together by the Reds coaching staff and the camp is taught by college players and coaches. It’s a great camp.” The camp started Monday. During the week participants learned the basics of playing baseball as well as skill position techniques. On Friday they were set to travel to Cincinnati on a charter bus paid for by the Reds to spend the day at the Great American Ball Park. Reds first base coach Billy Hatcher, who holds the singleseason World Series batting record, is scheduled to lead a tour for the children. Other Reds players will be on hand to sign autographs and take photographs with the kids in the dugout. College baseball and softball players help teach the camp as well as coaches from local schools. El-

In the White camp ages 10-14, Caden Grass of Culloden runs the first base challenge, pretending to swing a bat and sprint to first. len Boering, a softball player from the University of Cincinnati, spent her summer with the Reds Camp. She is studying sports administration and loves spending time teaching the kids about baseball. “It’s cool to see the girls working together,” Boering said. “Here, we aren’t teaching baseball as much as we are teaching respect. Learning baseball is great, but in baseball, hitting a two out of ten is awesome for these girls. “Where in many other scenarios, a twenty or thirty percent is a bad thing, we are teaching hitting .300 is great.” Bryan Swalley, a Huntington native who has played in some minor league organizations, taught

groundball techniques. “I love being involved,” he said. “I love being able to teach these kids the finer points of baseball that they may not be getting elsewhere.” Behind Swalley in left field South Charleston High School’s new assistant baseball coach Chad Campbell was teaching the fine art of the outfield stance. He told the children the position of outfielder may seem boring, but is actually of vital importance. Noah Escue of Hurricane listened well to Campbell’s lecture and got excited to catch some “pop flys.” Escue made the catch and fell back in line to go again, feeling accomplished and excited.

Bryson Mabry, 7, of Milton, runs as fast as he can to first base line, trying to beat other player’s time. Parents liked watching their children succeed. Blake Baldwin brought both of his sons from Boone County to enjoy the Reds baseball camp. “It is really great that they brought this to West Virginia,” Baldwin said. “Our kids don’t have opportunities like this very much.” Although this is the first time the camp has been in Hurricane, the Reds intend to hold it annually, Sullivan said. With the camp sold out at 150 kids and 60 on waiting lists, the event has turned out to be “a great success, and a boost to these kids confidence.”

During Friday’s tour the kids will see the field, dugouts, bullpens and the clubhouse. A tour that is not for sale at Great American Ball Park. There will also be photo opportunities by a Reds player and the kids will meet the coaching staff. Sullivan said that next year’s camp will host 200-230 kids. Boering said she is looking forward to being a part of the week. “I love to see these kids grow,” Boering said. “When they smile because they did something right, it makes it all worth it. This is literally my dream job - to play baseball all summer and to have fun with these kids.”

Police From Page 1 They switch to heroin when pain meds get too expensive. “At least when you open a bottle of pain medicine, you know what it is,” Zerkle said. “With heroin, you’re depending on an idiot drug dealer that bought it from another idiot drug dealer to tell you what it is. “A lot of these overdoses are from people trusting idiot drug dealers.” Zerkle said he worries about heroin addicts, as they don’t seem to realize the dangers of the drug. “Sooner or later, heroin use is a death sentence,” Zerkle said. “We’re dealing with people here where it’s just a matter of time. They just rot in front of your eyes.” Cpl. D.T. Bishop said a lot of heroin addicts steal property from friends and relatives to pay for their addiction, but that few people will actually report it. “I say about 90 percent of property crime goes unreported for that very reason,” he said. “They don’t want to send their relative to jail, but I’d rather they be in jail than die of a heroin overdose.”

Bishop said property crimes, fraud and forgery are Milton’s largest crime problems. So far Milton has not had a lot of the drug related violence the rest of the county has experienced. “There’s more of the threat of violence than actual violence,” Bishop said. “With drugs, there’s definitely always a potential.” These threats are a big reason more of the public doesn’t come forward. “They don’t want their names included,” Zerkle said. “And we understand that. We can take all of it anonymously if that’s what they’re comfortable with.” Bishop said some Milton residents get frustrated if they don’t see action right away, but that doesn’t mean the officers aren’t working at it. “We have limited resources, but we still do what we need to do in town,” he said. “People think just because we know someone is selling drugs means we can go and arrest them, but it doesn’t work like that.” O’Dell said it sometimes takes

months to build enough of a case to take action. “Just because you don’t see a result happen the next day doesn’t mean we’re not out there trying to build a case to bust them,” he said. “We’re not quitting. We’re looking for drugs all the time.” Unfortunately, an arrest does not guarantee prosecution, Zerkle said. Many felony charges he has taken to the prosecutor’s office have plead down to misdemeanors. “You can’t take it personal,” he said. “You just pick them up again the next time and take it back.” Part of the reason so many felony charges are dropped, Zerkle said, is because of the cost of holding an inmate at Western Regional Jail. At a legislative town hall meeting held at Cabell Midland High School a couple weeks ago, Commission President Nancy Cartmill said the cost per inmate per night is $48.50. The commission paid $3.5 million last year to house Cabell County’s inmates. This, Zerkle said, could be solved easily.

“Let’s make them an Earl Ray Tomblin problem instead of a Cabell County problem,” he said. “Once they’re convicted, they’re not our problem. It’s simple – give them a trial.” According to the Cabell County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, there was one trial in the month of June. “Most of the public doesn’t understand that it’s up to the prosecutor and his team to decide what to do,” O’Dell said. “We put a lot of time into these and it can be aggravating. We just say that as long as you have done your job to the best of your ability, it’s not your fault.”

Bishop said the department relies on the public to give them a heads up to suspicious activity and estimated that about 90 percent of their drug arrests begin with a public tip. “Even if it’s a false alarm, I’d rather have ten false alarms if it has one that’s an actual hit,” he said. “Anything that they think is suspicious, people just need to call and let us know.” O’Dell added, “The public is our biggest eye. There’s only a handful of us, but there’s thousands of them. They’re our biggest asset.” The Milton Police Department can be reached at 304-743-3032.

Animals bring smiles to babies, volunteers By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

For nearly two years, infants and newborns at Cabell Huntington Hospital have had the company of stuffed animals in their cribs while healing or properly growing thanks to the Milton Baptist Church and their Animals for Smiles program. Jill Ritterspach started the program in 2013 that, to date, has handed out more than 7,000 animals to newborns in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Hoop’s Family Children’s Hospital, Lilly’s Place and the Therapeutic Neonatal Unit for babies born addicted to drugs. “We do what we can with what we got,” Ritterspach said. “It’s a tremendous blessing from God that we can do this for the children. It’s all for the glory of God.” The newest project, which is done on top of the stuffed animals, is called The Cat and The Frog. The cats and frogs are stuffed with poly pellets that are placed in the

microwave to warm for newborns and are washer and dryer safe. “With these, the mother can lay the frog or the cat on her chest for an hour until it gets her scent,” she said. “Then it can be put with the baby. This has proven to be physiologically and psychologically helpful.” This year, the ladies won Cabell Huntington Hospital’s project of the year award, and will travel to The Greenbrier in September to see how their project stacks up against others in hospitals all over the state. “It is an honor that Cabell Huntington chose us to be project of the year,” Ritterspach said. “God says you should volunteer, and these girls do.” The group meets every Thursday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. to cut, stuff and sew animals for the hospital, and the group consists of members of the church and the local community. One member, Theresa Stevens, takes three buses from the west side of Huntington

to sew animals. There have been 15 volunteers at once, Ritterspach said, and most meetings have between seven and 10 people. One of these helpers, Libby Perry, says the needs of the children make this job important. “It’s what these animals are doing that’s important,” Perry said. “How it’s helping with the kids is important. We get reports from the employees at the hospital when Jill delivers the animals that they are doing great.” Some of the employees in Cabell Huntington Hospital take home materials to sew and create animals for the group too. “We have four who work at the hospital,” Ritterspach said. “I give the materials and they stuff for us to sew later. We open our doors to anyone who wants to help. All are welcome. The more the merrier!” The group receives funding from the Milton Baptist Church in the amount of $1,200, and the Volunteer Auxiliary of Cabell Hun-

tington Hospital for $6,000. After one member of the church passed away, the family asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations of materials for stuffing and sewing machines be made to Animals for Smiles. Several of the volunteers also take time at home to stuff and sew animals. “I made a pledge to God in April that I would make 100 animals a month myself,” Ritterspach said. “I have and I have finished up to the first of November. Several of the girls do more work outside of our meetings. I’m very proud of all of them.” Animals for Smiles is the only project on the emergency medical helicopter, Ritterspach said. “We have 10 animals in a tote on the helicopter,” she said. “We had a parent tell us that when they weren’t allowed on the helicopter with their son, he was crying, and his mother was crying, and the EMT handed the boy one of our animals. He hugged it tight until he

got to the hospital and was found by his mother, She said he wasn’t crying at all because of it. That makes you feel so great.” The work for the children is not the only thing bringing these ladies together, though. “The fellowship with the girls and the camaraderie is very good,” Perry said. “I love spending time with them and working for God with them.” Ritterspach gets almost all of her materials from Joanne Fabrics, she said. She buys nearly all of it the day after Thanksgiving, Black Friday, for much cheaper than any other day of the year. “I would spend $7.99 a bag on stuffing any other time, but to make this more cost effective, I get usually 150 bags for $1.49 each. The material is always a good deal, too.” The group meets every Thursday at the Milton Baptist Church on Church Street at 9 a.m.
