Village police fight crime By Amanda Smythers

The Village of Barboursville, although relatively low in crime compared to other parts of the county, still has its share of drug related crime. Police chief Mike Coffey said the difference is that drug related crimes tend to take on a less apparent face in Barboursville. “Most of our shoplifting is from hardened drug criminals supporting their drug habit,” Coffey said. “Every crime has its roots in some kind of drug problem.” Shoplifting is the most common crime seen within Barboursville, as the Huntington Mall and Merrit’s Creek Shopping Center attract shoplifters from all around the

4-H and FFA members parade their replacement heifers in the show ring during the 2014 Cabell County Fair.

Youth, animals heart of fair By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com People attending this year’s Cabell County Fair had the opportunity to take in some new events while keeping up with the heart of the fair. Throughout the week numerous entertainers performed at Milton Performing Arts Center while 4-H and FFA members paraded their animals in the show ring hoping for a blue ribbon. There was also a demolition derby, a horse pull, a tractor pull and motocross for residents to enjoy. One new show at this year’s fair was the Upstage Contest. The singing competition held auditions in June at See Fair, Page 5

Wish comes true for Elysia with trip to Disney World By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

When Elysia Newsome, a then four-year-old Huntington resident, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, her parents were speechless. Transitioning from the joy of welcoming a new baby to the family to spending weeks at a time in the hospital was difficult. “It was just sad,” said Elysia’s mom, Kristen Losh. “We were so worried. Elysia was never sick be-

fore. She had one cold before this. This was a big change.” Now, a year later and in remission, Elysia is as playful as ever. “It’s a 360,” said Elysia’s dad, Gordy Newsome. “I had to have faith everything was going to be alright.” The Newsome family celebrated the news of remission with a trip to Disney World in Orlando, Fla. A trip paid in full by the Make-AWish Foundation. The family was referred by one of their nurses at the Edwards Comprehensive Can-

cer Center of Cabell Huntington Hospital. “It was nice seeing how much the girls liked it and enjoyed the rides,” Losh said. She said the Make-A-Wish volunteers were great to her family.

Courthouse repair to cost more than expected By Jim Ross For the Cabell Standard Contractors removing the bell tower and cupola from the Cabell County Courthouse dome last month found a few surprises. Expensive surprises. Some of the steel beams holding the structure in place had sustained heavy rust damage in the century since the bell was put in place. Several of the beams had large holes in them. One had rusted away until it was thinner than a pencil. So now the County Commission has to look at several alternatives and decide how much it’s willing to spend beyond the amount it had contracted for only a few weeks ago if it wants a stable bell tower back atop the courthouse dome. A special meeting was scheduled for the morning of Wednesday, July 30 to decide.

No one knew the extent of the damage to the bell tower until it was removed, Tim Keaton, grants and projects coordinator for the county, said at the July 24 commission meeting. County officials knew it had problems because ground-based measurements had shown the bell tower was leaning three inches to the north, toward 4th Avenue, he said. It wasn’t until the bell tower’s façade was removed before it was lifted from the dome by a crane that the full measure of damage could be measured, he said. The contractor for the bell tower repairs – Angelina Stone & Marble of St. Clairsville, Ohio – gave the commissioners several alternatives, ranging from doing limited repairs to the tower to building a completely new one. Angelina’s contract was for $246,725, but the

Angelina Stone and Marble of St. Clairsville, Ohio reported that the bell tower was in bad shape. alternatives could take the total project to $331,000 or more. The state is providing $100,000

toward the repairs through the Courthouse Facilities Improvement Authority. The county is paying the remainder of the cost. County Manager Chris Tatum said the county has other money it can use to pay for the unexpected additional repair cost. That money could come from the carryover from the 2013-14 fiscal year or from the county’s contingency fund, he said. In other business the commission: * Approved an agreement with the Cabell County Board of Education to place two school resource officers in middle schools. Sheriff T.W. McComas said the school board will pay the salaries of two deputies during the school year. When school is not in session, the county will pay their salaries and designate them for normal fieldwork, McComas said.

* Approved expanding the tax increment financing (TIF) district at the HIC-HACDCO industrial park on West Virginia Route 2 in the Green Bottom area by 55 acres. * Approved a request from County Clerk Karen Cole to employ Christopher Louden for a full-time position. * Approved a grant from the state to the Buford Chapter National Society for repairs to the log cabin in Ritter Park for a total of $2,000. * Approved a memorandum of understanding with the city of Huntington for a state Byrne Justice Assistance Grant Program grant of $16,085.81. * Approved the employment of Brandon Ray Woodrum as a per diem paramedic. * Approved a victim assistance grant for the prosecutor’s office in the amount of $77,383.

Wishes From Page 1 “Everybody’s really nice. I don’t think anything else would have made her as happy,” she said. Losh said Elysia received wonderful treatment the entire time, even getting a special shout out on the flight to Orlando. Once at Disney they stayed at the Give Kids the World Resort, a volunteer run organization dedicated to serving

wish kids from around the country. “They were really welcoming,” Losh said. “They were so nice there. They did something for the kids everyday. We want to go back to Give Kids the World when the kids get older and volunteer.” Disney World is one of the most popular wish destinations, said Dana Antkowiak, Marketing

Communications Manager for the Greater Pennsylvania Region. She said 75 percent of wishes are travel related. “It allows them to just be able to get away and spend time with their families,” she said. “It’s meant to bring back some joy in their lives.” Joy was just what the doctor ordered for the Newsome family. Since entering remission in April 2013, a month after Elysia’s lifechanging diagnosis, Elysia has been going through chemotherapy at home and visiting the Edward’s clinic once per month. Despite this, Elysia has always maintained good spirits. “She’s been good the whole time,” Newsome said. “Even when she has a bad day, she rests for an hour and then wants to play.” Losh said Elysia loves spending time with her now one-year-old sister, Kya. “When she was in the hospital, all she wanted was Kya,” she said. “I think Kya helped Elysia stay really positive.” Losh said Kya and Elysia would play together in the hospital, often joined by hospital staff. “Her team was amazing,” Losh said. “Elysia’s close with all the

nurses. I don’t think anywhere else would have been as easy. Not many doctors would give you their personal cell phone number and tell you to call them all the time.” Newsome said their doctor, Dr. Mark Mogul, never missed a single phone call from their family. “He’s definitely in the right profession,” Losh said. “He’s great with all the kids and he has a wonderful attitude.” According to Losh, this positive attitude helped Elysia in the hospital, but nothing made her as happy as the Disney trip. “So many of our kids have described our experience as life changing,” Antkowiak said. “It’s really meant to be a healing for the soul.” In a survey distributed by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, 89 percent of health care professionals surveyed believed the wish experience could influence the child’s physical health. Additionally, 97 percent of wish families said they observed an increase in their child’s emotional health and 74 percent of wish families said the wish marked a turning point in their child’s response to treatment.

Elysia Newsome had a great time at Disney World with her family courtesy of Make-A-Wish. “We wouldn’t want an eligible family to miss out,” Antkowiak said. Last year, the Greater Pensylvania/West Virginia region granted 758 wishes, six of which were from Cabell County. Southern West Virginia had a total of 78 wishes. Children two-and-a-half years old through 18 with life threatening illnesses are eligible for Make-AWish. The child’s illness does not have to be terminal.

Weekly Devotional Submitted by Mary Jane “Flowers of summer’’ The grass withereth, the flowers fadeth; but the word of our God shall stand for ever. Isaiah 40:8. Wherever you look this summer, the flowers are profusely blooming with splendid color and size. God sends the right amount of warm morning sunshine and late evening thunder storms, which means grass and weeds also grow abundantly. When you take the time to look around at His creation, you realize what a beautiful earth He prepared for us to live on. It is man who has made it ugly with actions and unbelief and trust in Him. God gives us everything we need to survive on including extras like the summer flowers and showers, fresh vegetables and perfect temperatures. But we can turn it around with greed and ruin our life and others as well. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. Recent events in the news makes you realize for sure that the devil is

going to and fro to see who he can devour. The cruel and inhumane actions humans can do to others will never cease to amaze me. From beauty of life to horror of life, there will never be anything new under the sun. There is a God in heaven and He sees all. All He asks is for us to believe He sent his son to die for our sins on earth; God does forgive our sins. One of my favorite verses is the bible is Matthew 6:28-29 - Consider the lilies of the field; how they grow, and toil not, neither do they spin; And yet I say unto you, That, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Be happy with your life, help others, and enjoy the sweet smell of fresh morning air. Feel the warm sunshine upon your shoulders, listen and watch the wild clapping thunder… and know these are all God’s gifts of summertime to each of us. Prayer: Heavenly Father, lead us to believe in you and to do your will as we spend our life on your earth. Amen.

Velma’s View Submitted by Velma Kitchens A big sacrifice? I heard a story about a family of seven and learned a beautiful lesson of life. I had heard about broken homes and the lives of the children in those homes; how many grow up to be messed up and with lots of issues. This story is about a man and woman who got married and through several years had five children. This man and woman eventually grew apart and felt they just couldn’t stay married any more so they left each other and got a divorce. There was no marriage counselling or getting help from someone as in the good old days when most things were settled inside the family or the church. I’m not sure if the people in this story attended church on a regular basis. After the divorce mom had to get a job and boy was that shocking. Mom had always stayed at home and took care of her husband and children. She cooked, cleaned, ran errands, attended school functions and all the other things that needed done. At the end of the day exhaustion kicked in and she didn’t have the energy or time for the children. Every other weekend dad came on Friday evening and took the children and brought them back on Sunday night. Dad was sad that he wasn’t with his children more as he

was working to pay child support and taking care of the house that he had to leave. He was a good dad to his children and a good provider. Mom and dad began to talk and the more they talked the more they wanted to be back together as all this division was causing a big problem with their children and with each other. So guess what they did? They remarried. They both decided to get remarried and have their family back together as divorce wasn’t the answer in their situation. They decided to stay together until the last child graduated from high school and they did not tell the children the plan. But they stayed together for the children’s sake. Not all cases end up like this as they were civil to each other and their home was not full of screaming and ranting and raving. All through the years the children didn’t know anything was even wrong. Dad went to work and mom was always there when they came home from school - making their lives easier. I guess some people are just bent on having their own happiness more so than the happiness of their children. What a selfless act of these two people who put aside their differences for their children. Oh, what love and what a wonderful thing to do.

County’s drug taskforce helps Village of Barboursville police By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

While the Village of Barboursville’s drug crimes may seem minor compared to Huntington, Police Chief Mike Coffey treats it seriously. Coffey spent over twenty years with the Huntington Police Department before taking over as Barboursville’s chief. He said he has an officer stationed on Cabell County’s Drug Taskforce to ensure he can fight drug crime in Barboursville using every resource available. “Naturally, you’re going to go where the biggest flames are,” he said, talking about the tendency of some to focus on crime in Huntington. “That’s why I like having a member on the taskforce. I think it works

well for us.” Coffey was a founding member of the taskforce. He said he is able to relay community tips to his taskforce member who then ensures it is shared at unit meetings. “I relay those to the taskforce because they are better suited to do those investigations than we are as a patrol based police force,” Coffey said. The taskforce works with county, state and federal law enforcement agents on crimes all around the state. Coffey said this partnership is effective. One of the best known busts, he said, involved the Mingo County Preece family. It was a bust that led to over 50 arrests and multiple corruption charges. Coffey was directly involved with that investigation.

Coffey said his officers have to be well trained before functioning as a working member of the countywide unit. This includes training beyond that of other officers, including special training from the FBI and ride-alongs with senior members. They also have to undergo an extensive background check to make sure the integrity of the unit stays in tact. Coffey will continue to use the taskforce as long as he is chief of police, but said the taskforrce will only be effective if citizens continue to contribute tips. “Even the really bad guys will see a police cruiser and stop doing whatever they’re doing,” Coffey said. “It’s the average citizen that the bad guy doesn’t pay attention to. If they report it, it may make a difference.”

Crime From Page 1 tri-state area. In May, Barboursville Police Department recorded 27 charges for shoplifting, 44.3 percent all charges filed. Coffey said criminals have an easy time making money off of shoplifting, which is what makes it so lucrative among drug addicts. “Some of them are super intelligent,” he said. “There’s a pawn shop on every corner now. They take in just about anything.” Coffey said figuring out the violators are addicts is not a stretch, as they tend to freely admit it. “It used to be they’d never tell you they were addicted to heroin,” he said. “It was social taboo - we’d never see them admit it. Now they tell us every time.” Coffey said this shows how saturated the community is with drug addiction. “It’s not just a property crime,” he said. “It’s affecting the fabric of our community. I never thought I’d see it to the point we see today. Every family is affected.” Barboursville Mayor Paul L. Turman, Sr., a lifelong Barboursville resident, said he takes the rising rate of drug addiction personal. “Barboursville is my hometown,” he said. “I went to elementary school, middle school and high school here. There’s no place I’d rather be than Barboursville. So it saddens me that this drug problem has gotten out of control. These pills, the meth, heroin – it’s all tearing apart the community.” Turman said, despite the clear rise in drug addiction, overall, not much direct drug activity happens in Barboursville due to the police force. “I don’t think there’s too many criminals who stay in our community too long because we have 20 police officers,” Turman said.

“That’s the biggest deterrent to people coming into our neighborhood – they know Barboursville Police Department is not going to put up with it.” In fact, according to Coffey, the majority of Barboursville’s drug charges result from drug dealers and users making other mistakes, such as speeding and driving on a suspended license. “Most of the time we have interaction with them is at traffic stops,” he said. “It’s always amazing to me to see the kind of mistakes they make. They make it a little easier for us. A lot of times that leads to them being arrested and their car being searched. Of course, we’re finding drugs there.” After traffic stops, Coffey said he gets the best drug crime information from the citizens of Barboursville. “We don’t disregard any information that we get,” Coffey said. “We act upon it. If it’s something I can look at myself, I’ll do it. Trust us and call us – we can’t work on information if we don’t have it.” Coffey said his officers have had large successes from using Face-

book to communicate with the public, often getting the identities of people at large within hours. Turman said that is just one of the ways police department works within the community. “We encourage our police officers to spend time within the city and be visible,” Turman said. “Our goal is to try to provide a safe, friendly environment. I want them to do the right thing and I think they do. The public feels comfortable and confident that they can communicate with the police.” Turman said this security would not be possible without the hard work of Coffey. “Mike Coffey is an extraordinary person,” he said. “He’s a professional in all regards. There’s not too much that goes on around here that he’s not aware of. I don’t think anyone’s better – others tell me how fortunate we are to have our department under his leadership. I just hope he stays with Barboursville.” Coffey said anyone who has information about drug related crime should call 304-736-5203. Anonymous tips are accepted.

Cabell County Fair

Thursday, July 31, 2014 - Page 5

Carnival and livestock shows thrill attendees By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Gospel night at the Cabell County Fair was filled with music, fun and games as early overcast skies gave way to sunshine and shed some light on those in attendance. Shortly after the gates opened people flocked into the show barn and the performing arts center to pick the best seat in the house. As fair goers waited for the shows to begin they walked throughout the carnival letting children take a twirl on one of the numerous rides. The show barn drew the early crowd. People gathered to watch the young calves rumble around the ring. Some of the young calves even became unruly with their owners. This was not an uncommon theme throughout the evening. During the livestock show children stood along the gates, peering through the openings in the fence to see the animals. Parents of the par-

ticipants took photos and watched anxiously as their children led the animal around the ring. “The quality is extremely good this year,” livestock judge Mick Culp told the crowd. “The kids have done an excellent job fitting and showing.” Culp said the fair is always a family event. People really enjoy watching and supporting the youth in the livestock show. “The livestock shows are family oriented,” he said. “We have brothers, sisters, and family members who all take part and really care about the event. It’s a good thing, it really is.” Culp was blessed with the job of walking around the ring and inspecting every inch of each show animal. He also directed the show participants to make sure everyone was lined up properly as well. As the night progressed each livestock class went up in size from small feeder calves and concluded

with the market steers. “This is a very interesting class,” Culp said over the loudspeaker. “There are two, three, and even four steers that are as good as you’ll see anywhere in the country.” After carefully inspected the line-up of livestock, Savannah Phelps and her steer proudly wore the ribbon as the grand champion. Outside at the event ring the draft horse pull drew a large crowd. The event featured horses pulling cinderblocks on a cart with wheels. The idea is to see which pair of horses can pull the most weight and still get to the finish line. Some crowd members even seemed to be perplexed as to whether or not the horses were on a time limit. One man in the crowd remarked that it was the first time he’d seen a horse pull in years, while others just simply wondered which horses were in the lead. For gospel night New Horizon took the stage first with some

received great remarks from the judges for her song selection and her talent. “I stuck with music I was comfortable with,” Kidd said. “I never go beyond that. It is supposed to be fun, isn’t it, so I make sure I enjoy doing it. That’s what it’s supposed to be.” The singers, however, were not alone in filling the fair air with noise. The 4-H market goat competition was filled with uncooperative goats that felt the need to voice their concerns with their owners. “I thought I was going to lose because my goat was acting up and running all over the place,” said Jenny Bond, grand champion for market goats. “I don’t really want Woods back after the auction. It’s too much work and he fights every day.” Bond showed market rabbits her first year in the show ring. She decided to try market goats this year and chose Woods to train and show. As grand champion, Bond knows Woods will most likely have a new owner next week, and she doesn’t mind. “I am saving up the money from the auctions for college,” tenyear-old Bond said. “I want to be a paleontologist. I want to dig and discover dinosaur bones and learn about dinosaurs.” Reserve champion Ryan Utt, on the other hand, said he wants his goat, Spade, back. “It wasn’t hard raising him,” Utt said. “I might buy him back if I can.” Utt, a seventh grader from Milton Middle School, spent a few hours a day with Spade. He said his goat has been led and broken to the point that if he is let loose, he won’t go anywhere. “They’ve gotten close,” Utt’s

mother, Pippi Miller said. “If he walked around the cages, Spade would watch him all the way around.” Some participants find reasons other than college money and the interest in raising an animal to bring their livestock to the fair. Cheyne Freeman’s reason was his girlfriend. “My girlfriend has been showing animals for nine years,” Freeman said. “This is my first time and I think I can get good money from my hog.” His hog, Betsy, will go to auction. Freeman said he will use the money from the auction to either repair his old truck or buy a new one. College and cars are the most common reasons to save winnings and Rylee Hightower and her brother, Brody, embody this commonality. Rylee’s market lamb, Molly, might be her last as she hasn’t yet decided if she wants to try something else next year. “I had to walk her a lot,” Rylee said. “She was a lot of work, but I think I will miss her. By selling her, I can save up for college.” Brody, on the other hand, is looking toward using the money to purchase his first car. “My birthday is in less than two months, so I need some money,” he said. Even if your happy place is not in the 4-H livestock shows or at a singing competition, the fair offered many options for finding joy outside. Gamibill Amusement rides were a hit, as always, but one seemed to gather the attention more than the others. Emma Bartram and her siblings enjoyed the inflatable hamster wheels in a pool of water.

some added gospel singing over at the performing arts center. Three Bridges and Brighter Side Quartet took turns playing for the crowd long into the night.

“I loved it,” Emma said. “It really tires you out though. You have to hold on to the little holes to keep upright.” Emma’s brother Luke, said, “When I fell, I went straight up in the air. It was a lot of fun.” Finally, the fair closed with a mini demolition derby in the somewhat rainy evening.

“It’s an exciting evening every year,” crowd member Nate Arthur said. “I like watching cars get destroyed,” he said with a laugh. Overall, the Cabell County Fair offered a little something for everybody and the atmosphere, created by the fun-loving crowd, told the story better than anything else.

After each performed and the points were tallied, Shelby Lingerfelter won the competition and the title. She said she has been singing since she could talk. “I was really nervous half way through, but as it goes on, I usually get more comfortable,” she said. “I competed last year and was really excited to get the chance to try again.” Lingerfelter is a senior at Cabell Midland High School. She plans to attend Marshall University in 2015 and study psychology. “I would like to come back to this competition, though,” she said. “It is a great way to get my name out and get closer to my big dream. Music is the big dream.” In addition to winning $100, Lingerfelter opened for Matt Stillwell the final night of the fair. It was Megan James first year coordinating the event. She was excited to see so many people come to the show. “I was extremely nervous all day,” James said. “It was great to be able to put a new spin on it. I definitely think I accomplished that. I am very proud to see how many people turned out, and the judges were fantastic.” One of those judges was Miss Cabell County Fair Queen Clara Maynard who was crowned two days before the competition. “It was different being on the judging side of the singing competition,” Maynard said. “I am usually on the other side of the table. I would definitely do it again. Judging was fun and I am up for doing it again.” Shelby Kidd was the runnerup of the Upstage contest. Kidd

Christian’s Sports Beat: local dancer prepares for competition

By Christian Deiss When I write about sports the usual topics are football, baseball, basketball, running and soccer. I have to admit I never would have thought group dancing was a sport until I met my friend Jamin Cox of Scott Depot. He is a member of the boys

dance group, Thrift Shop Boyz. The Charleston based dance group is made up of boys ages eight to 14. The group recently qualified for the World Dance Alliance Competition in New York City next month by winning their category at the Star Power Regional Dance Competition in Charleston. I recently attended a practice of the Thrift Shop Boyz and asked Jamin how dancing was a sport. “Well you are always moving your body, you are physically testing your body to see how good you can do, just like you do when you play soccer,” he said. The 10-year old will be a fifth grader this year at Mountain View Elementary School. The Thrift Shop Boyz trains two to three times a week in Charles-

ton for 90 minutes each practice. Jamin’s Coach Lee Jordan said in many ways dancing is a tougher workout than other sports. “The boys are actually using more muscles than most other sporting activities when they are doing their moves on the floor,” he said. When Jamin isn’t practicing or performing with his group, you can find him with me playing basketball. Not many boys his age compete in dance competitions. His group has ten boys in it. Before the practice I talked to Jamin’s mother, Brandy. “Jamin tried all different type of sports, basketball, baseball and soccer and didn’t feel good about himself with any of those sports,” she said. “He enjoyed the team

aspect but not the fierce competition, but all boys in the dance group work together and pull for one another, which Jamin really enjoys.” Brandy is a teacher in Putnam County at Poca Elementary School. I run and play soccer, sports that my mom and dad played when they were growing up. Jamin’s parents both danced when they were young. Jamin told me he also wanted to be like his parents. “I watched some of my mom and dad’s old dance videos and thought that looked really cool and I might want to try dancing,” he said. “My mom introduced me to Coach Lee, who she knew from college and here we are.” In a recent national competition in Myrtle Beach, SC, The Thrift Shop Boyz took first place in the

Hip Hop category and fifth overall for all the groups competing in the four-day event. In August The Thrift Shop Boyz will be traveling to the Big Apple to compete against teams from all over the world, including Canada, Germany, Mexico and Russia. Jordan knows the competition will be tough. “It’s the highest level of competition the boys have ever been in,” he said. “Never before facing other kids from other countries.” The boys will be judged on a three-minute routine that they will be practicing right up until show time. Besides competing, the dance group will also have time to see Aladdin on Broadway and take a guided tour of historical New York and taking part in workshops that the competition offers.

Barboursville Farmers Market ready for growth By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Vendors who sell goods at the Barboursville Farmers Market say they have a good base of regular customers, but think it has an opportunity to grow. Now in its seventh year, the market is open from 7 a.m. to noon every Wednesday and Saturday. The goal is to provide local residents with fresh grown produce and to give anyone in the community an opportunity to sell what they’ve produced. One regular vendor, John Gooch, has been selling produce for the past four years at the market. He said there are usually about five or six vendors on Saturday and a few less who show up on Wednesday. “Saturday is much different than Wednesday, there’s a lot more traffic where we’re located on Saturday,” he said. “I’ve been able to develop a relationship with the same customers who show up every year, but we also have people who just drive by and see us for the first time, and they stop over as well.” Gooch offers a variety of jams, any kind from spiced to strawberry and even some pineapple jam, the list goes on and on. He said when he sells honey it’s always very popular with the local crowd. Among the produce Gooch offers are cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes, beans, corn, peppers, cantaloupe, watermelons, squash and zucchini. He also sells dill pickles as well as bread and butter pickles.

The Barboursville Farmers Market is open 7 a.m. to noon every Wednesday and Saturday. Gooch said if he doesn’t have what you’re looking for then he most likely knows someone who grows it. His friends and family grow just about anything and everything. He offers his canned goods at the Cabell County Fair as well. As far as the market itself, Gooch said it’s great for the local elderly citizens to be able to walk over and purchase vegetables and jams at a cheap price instead of going all the way into town to the supermarket. The lack of advertising and general awareness seems to be the biggest obstacle for growth of the market as Barboursville has a strict no sign policy, he said. The town does not allow for signs to hang from telephone poles or to be stuck in the ground alongside the highway in an effort

to keep the town clean. “I wish they would advertise the market more,” Gooch said. “If the city would allow us to put up a sign or something to let people know we’re here it would really help.” The only way for residents to find out about the market is by word of mouth, according to Gooch. “The market could be in a better spot,” he said. “They have us tucked back here in the corner. If the city would allow for us to go over where everyone else drives in and out, right where they have the big field that’s used for the fair and they do all the tractor shows and stuff, that’s where we’d really like to be.” Barboursville Mayor Paul Turman said that no one from the farmers market has ever requested to be moved to another part of

Angelika Hunt stands by her vegetables at the Barboursville Farmers Market. She enjoys meeting people at the market. the town. He said the Main Street location with the paved lot is very convenient for customers stopping by the farmers market. “It’s best to keep the market in its current location,” Turman said. “We don’t want to tear up the sod we use for the fair and other town functions. We’re not interested in moving it over there or to any other location.” The current location of the market is slightly outside the center of Barboursville, right beside the railroad crossing on Main Street. Most residents use the tunnel in order to leave Barboursville and go by way of Farmdale Road, ac-

cording to Gooch. Another vendor, Angelika Hunt, who sells homemade jam as well as a number of other vegetables and beans, echoed Gooch’s statements. Hunt would like to see the city help out by advertising more and improving the market’s location. “This is the backstretch of Barboursville, a lot of people don’t even know we’re here,” she said. “We want them to know we’re here.” For more information on the Barboursville Farmers Market contact City Recorder Paula Seay at 304-736-8995 or pseay@barboursville.org.

More than 100 gather at Rimmer Reunion in Ona

Above, nearly 100 relatives and friends gathered at the Beulah Ann Baptist Church Family Center at noon July 19 for a reunion of the Rimmer family. Memory tables were set up for family groups, cherished quilts were displayed along the wall, and a Powerpoint show ran for the entire afternoon. After a delicious “pot-luck” dinner, families were arranged by Patty Morrison for group photos. President of the Rimmer Historical Society of England, Gladys Rimmer Armstrong (right) was special guest and speaker for the occasion. Jim Morrison’s grandparents, Fielding and Callie Rimmer, moved their family from Big Scary Creek (near Scott Depot) to Howell’s Mill in 1911. Their farm was located on both sides of Mud River, including the property that is now the Christian Assembly Camp. Fielding’s father was Robert, whose family moved here from England. The Rimmer children have all passed away now and include Don, Roy, Rachel, John, Mary, Ruth, Carl, Evelena, James, and Virginia (still born). Already plans are being made for the next reunion on August 1, 2015. Submitted by Jim Morrison
