Knights fall to Redskins, Page 6 50 Cents Volume 116 Issue 22

Ernie Pyle became history’s greatest war correspondent.

A Pure Miracle Editor’s note: D-Day is an appropriate time to recall the sacrifi ces made by those serving and who have served in our Armed Forces.

To mark the 70th anniversary, the Ernie Pyle World War II Museum in Dana, Indiana, and Scripps Howard Foundation allowed the reprint of three columns written by Ernie Pyle immediately after the Normandy invasion. It’s a reminder to all of the ultimate sacrifice made by so many Americans to maintain the freedoms we enjoy.

NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 12, 1944 – Due to a last-minute alteration in the arrangements, I didn’t arrive on the beachhead until the morning after D-day, after our first wave of assault troops had hit the shore.

By the time we got here the beaches had been taken and the fighting had moved a couple of miles inland. All that remained on the beach was some sniping and artillery fire, and the occasional startling blast of a mine geysering brown sand into the air. That plus a gigantic and pitiful litter of wreckage along miles of shoreline.

Submerged tanks and overturned boats and burned trucks and shell-shattered jeeps and sad little personal belongings were strewn all over these bitter sands. That plus the bodies of soldiers lying in rows covered with blankets, the toes of their shoes sticking up in a line as though on drill. And other bodies, uncollected, still sprawling grotesquely in the sand or half hidden by the high grass beyond the beach.

That plus an intense, grim determination of work-weary men to get this chaotic beach organized SEE MIRACLE, Page 4

Scarberry is Teacher of the Year

By Amanda White For The Cabell Standard When Cabell County Public Schools’ Curriculum Specialist Sandra Duncan announced Heather Scarberry as the Cabell County Teacher of the Year, she was speechless.

“I was very shocked,” she said later. “I just felt that there was so many other candidates there who would have gotten teacher of the year and not myself.”

Her humility as genuine as her love of teaching, Heather had even told her family to “not bother” coming.

Each candidate was selected by

their school and sent to the central office, who then picked the winner and nominee for West Virginia Teacher of the Year. Scarberry was the nominee for Ona Elementary where she has spent her 16th year in education teaching fourth grade.

According to Assistant Superintendent Dr. Jeff Smith, Scarberry was chosen for her ability to maintain an interactive learning environment, an environment that rivals the soon to be starting expeditionary school. Scarberry goes against the grain of what’s expected to ensure her students are absorbing and enjoying their educational experience, he said.

Huntington dedicates emergency response boat

By Jim Ross For The Cabell Standard Maurice Hartz said the ceremony to dedicate a new emergency response boat for the Huntington Fire Department helped bring closure to an event that happened when he was 19 months old.

Hartz, a retired firefighter for the city, is the son of Leonard Hartz, one of two Huntington firefighters who died May 22, 1948, while attempting to rescue three boys from drowning in the Ohio River at Huntington.

Hartz christened the new boat, named the Hartz-Booth Memorial Vessel, with the traditional breaking of a bottle of champagne during a ceremony at Harris Riverfront Park on May 22.

The new boat is a 36-foot-long, $569,100 tool for firefighting, disaster response and terrorism response on the Greenup pool of the Ohio River.

The red-and-white vessel operates under the call sign of Marine Co. 1.

Funding for the boat came from the FEMA Port Security Grant Program. The grant was the largest under the program to an agency along the Ohio River in fiscal year 2013.

Although the boat is owned and operated by the Huntington Fire Department, it is responsible for the part of the Ohio between the Greenup and Robert C. Byrd locks and dams - a

Marine Co. 1 replaces a converted recreational craft the fire department had been using for rescue operations. FEMA provided the money for the boat to enhance the Port of Huntington’s regional maritime security overall and to strengthen the region’s chemi-

cal, biological, radical, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE) response and rescue capabilities in the protection of river pools, bridges, industry, locks and dams, commercial river traffic, and transportation routes during disasters, whether natural or man-made.

Velma’s View Submitted by Velma Kitchens “No brakes” Back when I was growing up my dad had sort of a nipping problem. No, not biting but nipping on the bottle (you know what I’m talking about). One evening my dad decided we were going to go to Grandma Carpenter’s house by way of Sycamore Road and around the curve to Buzzard Creek.

If you know all the back-roads that’s a good thing because the train sometimes stops on Charleys Creek and you have to back up and get to Thompson Road.

That night we all loaded up and headed to Buzzard Creek. I was a kid and kids don’t know or remember everything. But, we had this great big Buick car and it was loud. I think the muffler fell off. As an adult many years ago I had that happen to my car and I still hear my dad saying the police will pull you over for a loud muffler.

Anyway, we went merrily on our way across the hill from where Coon Creek swirls around into Sycamore Road and dad was

driving ok but as we topped the hill where Bill Burns lives, I heard dad say he had no brakes.

Mom was raising her voice and I can’t for the life of me remember why. I heard dad say he was putting the car in the lowest gear and hitting the ditch as the hill was very steep and the ditch was the only alternative.

We hit the ditch and the side of the road and came to an abrupt stop. When we got out of the car, we were smack dab on the side of the small cemetery out on Sycamore Road!

I was a kid and I laughed until my sides hurt. Kids are silly and that is just the way I was - and am a little bit that way today.

As I remember, we did get off the cemetery, out of the ditch and somehow made it to Grandma Carpenter’s house. Every time I go out that road I never forget we could have all gone over the hill and into that big hollow where all the panthers are. But, Panther Creek is another story.

Transformer fire at John Amos plant extinguished quickly

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com No one was injured when a transformer exploded and caught fire in the switchyard of the John E. Amos plant.

Appalachian Electric Power reported the explosion to the 911 Center about 12:30 p.m. May 28.

Phil Moye, spokesman for AEP, said no one was working in and around the area when the explosion happened.

“We had a small transformer that failed, and when it failed it exploded and we had a resulting fire,” he said. “This is more part of the transmission system than it is part of the plant. We didn’t have any plant equipment that failed, it was just a transformer in the switch yard.”

The switchyard, located next to W.Va. 817, is the area where power from the plant is placed on the transmission grid.

Moye said that residents in the area probably saw the black smoke and heard the explosion. Black smoke from the explosion could be seen from the W.Va. 34 and Interstate 64 interchange.

Moye said the plant’s internal fire brigade responded immediately.

“We have employees who are trained in responding to emergencies whether it is a fire or something else,” he said. “So they

responded and got the fire under control.”

Tankers and rescue units from the Winfield, Eleanor and Teays Valley Volunteer Fire Departments also responded quickly to the power plant.

“We had some good support from local fire departments that came and assisted so the fire was put out pretty quickly,” Moye said.

“In this case it is something we had under control but it is fantastic to have that kind of response. We really appreciate the local fire departments who came and assisted with this case. We get great support from our local communities.”

Moye said that no power outages occurred in the area as a result of the explosion.

“This is the area where power from the plant is placed on the transmission grid,” he said. “The way electricity flows – we make it at the power plant it goes out on the transmission grid and it comes into the substations and from there it goes to the lines you see along the road and that is where you generally see power outages.”

He said it is not very common to have a transformer to fail, especially to fail in that sort of manner.

But it does happen, he said.

“Transformers are generally filled with mineral oil so when one fails you’ll often see a brief explosion and as a result a fire,” he said noting that this was a small

transformer. “We are going to investigate why that happened. We don’t know right now if it is just the transformer or we are going to have to replace associated wire.

He said once the area is safe a team will assess the damage.

“We’ll look at it and we are going to see what kind of damage there is to the equipment and see what all needs to be replaced and then we’ll make those repairs as needed,” he said.

Moye said the John E. Amos plant generates power at 26,000 volts in the generating units. The transformers’ job in transmission yard is to raise it up to 765,000 volts and place it on the transmission grid.

“The reason for that is electricity is most efficiently carried at high voltages,” he said. “It is the most efficient way to carry the electricity from the plant out onto the grid and to substations.”

Moye doesn’t believe the explosion and fire is related to a lightning strike.

“We had some lightning strikes a couple of weeks ago and that resulted in a couple of our units being down,” he said. “I don’t think that it is associated with it at all.

“Anytime we have a piece of equipment fail like this we are always going to come back in, investigate what happened and see what we can do to prevent it from happening again.”

what’s in the water.

“If something like that happens here, we can go right into the teeth of that problem and respond to it,” he said.

Fire Chief Carl Eastham said the dedication ceremony was held on May 22 so it could mark the 66th anniversary of an incident on the Ohio River that claimed the lives of two Huntington firefighters and three boys, ages 12, 12 and 9.

That morning around 9 a.m., an employee of what was then an Ohio River Co. dock called the fire department to report that three boys were about to drown,

Eastham said. Lt. Leonard Hartz and firefighter William Ernest Booth went out to rescue the three boys, who apparently had been on a johnboat on the Guyandotte River that had entered the Ohio.

The outboard motor of the firefighters’ boat failed, and the boat drifted into barges tied up along the bank.

The firefighters jumped into the river, but they were carried under the barges. The police chief at the time said the firefighters’ lack of proper equipment cost them their lives, Eastham said.

Maurice Hartz said his father and Booth were not wearing life

Weekly Devotional Submitted by Mary Jane “Graduation time” Thought for the week: For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow. Ecclesiastes 3:18 It is graduation time from preschool to school, from elementary to middle, from middle to high school to college. There are hundreds of educational degrees you may earn.

A for associate , B for bachelor, M for the masters, Doctorate varies - medical, such as a doctor of medicine has M.D. behind the name on a degree, a dental surgeon will have D.D.S behind the name. The above Bible verse can be true. Sometimes knowledge can cause grief.

We as humans tend to sum up at times that we know more than God, and we fail in many ways in whatever the situation may be.

He wants us to acquire an abundance of knowledge in this life - in many ways to help mankind. But He wants us to lean on and to trust Him, which sometimes is difficult

to do in our daily living.

Then I beheld all the work of God; that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun; because though a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it out, yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

Ecclesiastes 8:17 As we attend the many types of graduation this coming season, let us be proud of each ones accomplishments and encourage them to achieve whatever their plans are in their future.

From the toddler in preschool to the doctorate, the more knowledge you acquire in this life, the more you enjoy life.

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter; Fear God, and keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of man.

Ecclesiastes 12:13.

Prayer: Father, guide us to remember to trust in thee, with all our heart, leaning not to our own ways, but to acknowledge you to direct our paths in life. Amen

jackets. Instead, they wore their heavy firefighting gear. Their boots and pockets filled with water, dragging them down, he said.

The new boat was manufactured by Lake Assault Boats of Superior, Wisc. It has an aluminum hull and a CBRNE-rated, climate-controlled pilothouse, along with a dive/rescue door, a generator, twin engines and an integrated fire pump.

The pilothouse provides a toxic-free area with a scrub ventilation system, status indicator lights, airlock-capable entries, positive cabin air pressurization, a hot and cold fresh water shower for decon-

tamination and warming, ChemRAE chemical warfare agent detectors, heating and ventilation systems that operate in sealed-up CBRNE conditions, and interior and exterior pressure detectors.

The fire suppression system operates at 1,500 gallons per minute at 150 psi.

The boat’s surveillance system includes GPS-enhanced radar, marine thermal imaging equipment and remote lighting. It also has a forward-looking infrared camera to detect a lost person’s heat signature, allowing larger areas to be searched more quickly and with better results.

Boat From Page 1 During the boat’s dedication ceremony Huntington Mayor Steve Williams credited City Councilman Dave Ball with looking into the possibility of acquiring the boat and working with the city’s delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate to acquire the funding.

“All of this came together in about 90 days,” Williams said.

Recalling how the chemical spill on the Elk River contaminated the water supply for about 300,000 West Virginians for several weeks, Williams said the new vessel has the capability of traveling into a spill and safely testing

The Horrible Waste of War Ernie Pyle Museum NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 16, 1944 – I took a walk along the historic coast of Normandy in the country of France.

It was a lovely day for strolling along the seashore. Men were sleeping on the sand, some of them sleeping forever. Men were floating in the water, but they didn’t know they were in the water, for they were dead.

The water was full of squishy little jellyfish about the size of your hand. Millions of them. In the center each of them had a green design exactly like a four-leaf clover. The good-luck emblem.

Sure. Hell yes.

I walked for a mile and a half along the water’s edge of our many-miled invasion beach. You wanted to walk slowly, for the detail on that beach was infinite.

The wreckage was vast and startling. The awful waste and destruction of war, even aside from the loss of human life, has always been one of its outstanding features to those who are in it. Anything and everything is expendable. And we did expend on our beachhead in Normandy during those first few hours. ********************** For a mile out from the beach there were scores of tanks and trucks and boats that you could no longer see, for they were at the bottom of the water – swamped by overloading, or hit by shells, or sunk by mines. Most of their crews were lost.

You could see trucks tipped half over and swamped. You could see partly sunken barges, and the angled-up corners of jeeps, and small landing craft half submerged. And at low tide you could still see those vicious six-pronged iron snares that helped snag and wreck them.

On the beach itself, high and dry, were all kinds of wrecked ve-

Ernie Pyle walked the beaches the following day gathering information that would lead to several D-Day columns. hicles. There were tanks that had only just made the beach before being knocked out. There were jeeps that had been burned to a dull gray. There were big derricks on caterpillar treads that didn’t quite make it. There were half-tracks carrying office equipment that had been made into a shambles by a single shell hit, their interiors still holding their useless equipage of smashed typewriters, telephones, office files.

There were LCT’s turned completely upside down, and lying on their backs, and how they got that way I don’t know. There were boats stacked on top of each other, their sides caved in, their suspension doors knocked off.

In this shoreline museum of carnage there were abandoned rolls of barbed wire and smashed bulldozers and big stacks of thrown-away lifebelts and piles of shells still waiting to be moved.

In the water floated empty life rafts and soldiers’ packs and ration boxes, and mysterious oranges.

On the beach lay snarled rolls of telephone wire and big rolls of steel matting and stacks of broken, rusting rifles.

On the beach lay, expended, sufficient men and mechanism for a small war. They were gone forever now. And yet we could afford it.

We could afford it because we were on, we had our toehold, and behind us there were such enormous replacements for this wreckage on the beach that you could hardly conceive of their sum total. Men and equipment were flowing from England in such a gigantic stream that it made the waste on the beachhead seem like nothing at all, really nothing at all. * A few hundred yards back on the beach is a high bluff. Up there we had a tent hospital, and a barbed-wire enclosure for prisoners of war. From up there you could see far up and down the beach, in a spectacular crow’s-nest view, and far out to sea.

And standing out there on the water beyond all this wreckage was the greatest armada man has ever seen. You simply could not believe the gigantic collection of ships that lay out there waiting to unload.

Looking from the bluff, it lay thick and clear to the far horizon of the sea and beyond, and it spread out to the sides and was miles wide. Its utter enormity would move the hardest man.

As I stood up there I noticed a group of freshly taken German prisoners standing nearby. They had not yet been put in the prison cage. They were just standing there, a couple of doughboys leisurely guarding them with tommy guns.

The prisoners too were looking out to sea – the same bit of sea that for months and years had been so safely empty before their gaze.

Now they stood staring almost as if in a trance.

They didn’t say a word to each other. They didn’t need to. The expression on their faces was something forever unforgettable.

In it was the final horrified acceptance of their doom.

If only all Germans could have had the rich experience of standing on the bluff and looking out across the water and seeing what their compatriots saw.

launches campaign T h e E r n i e P y l e Wo r l d War II Museum is launching a nationwide fundraising campaign to bolster its efforts to preserve and expand the famous war correspondent’s legacy.

The museum, located in Pyle’s hometown of Dana in west-central Indiana, is operated by the Friends of Ernie Pyle.

It features Pyle’s birth home and adjacent Quonset huts containing memorabilia and multimedia presentations.

The museum no longer receives any state financial support, so continuation of the site is dependent on entrance fees, funds from the local township, and contributions from individuals and organizations, said Cynthia Myers, president of the Friends of Ernie Pyle. While these funds have allowed the group to keep the museum open on weekends from May through Veterans Day in November, more needs to be done.

The site was originally developed and operated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources as a state historic site. The DNR turned over operations of the site to the Friends of Ernie Pyle in 2011.

The fundraising launch coincides with the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion on the beaches of Normandy of June 6, 1944.

Ernie Pyle walked the beaches the following day gathering information that would lead to several D-Day columns, which later earned him the Pulitzer Prize for war coverage.

This is a special milestone for the generation of Americans who fought during that war, and the Friends of Ernie Pyle is dedicated to honoring their sacrifices, Myers said. The best way to do that is to preserve

Ernie Pyle’s legacy. His honest and poignant writings connected GIs on the front lines to their worried families at home, and that is what endeared him to so many.

The museum is distributing copies of three of Pyle’s D-Day column to newspapers throughout the nation with the goal that editors will share it with their readers as they did in 1944. Ernie Pyle wrote columns for the Scripps Howard News Service during World War II, and by war’s end, they were delivered to more than 14 million homes, according to his New York Times obituary.

As the war neared its end, a Japanese machine-gunner killed Pyle on the Pacific Island of Ie Shima near Okinawa in April 1945.

To be a part of this national tribute to Pyle and the generation he chronicled, individuals can go to www.erniepyle.org and make a donation. Donors can receive a special collector’s edition of the documentary “G.I. Joe: The story of Ernie Pyle;” a poster about the movie signed by its producer, Marino Amoruso; or a coffee table book, “Ernie Pyle’s War: In Words and Pictures.”

The Friends of Ernie Pyle is a charitable non-profit 501(c) (3) corporation governed by a 13-member board. The museum is located in Dana on Ind. 71, one mile north of U.S. 36 in Vermillion County. The museum is open Fridays and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 1 to 4 p.m.

Private tours can be arranged year-round by contacting the museum.

A Long Thin Line Of Personal Anguish NORMANDY BEACHHEAD, June 17, 1944 – In the preceding column we told about the D-day wreckage among our machines of war that were expended in taking one of the Normandy beaches.

But there is another and more human litter. It extends in a thin little line, just like a high-water mark, for miles along the beach.

This is the strewn personal gear, gear that will never be needed again, of those who fought and died to give us our entrance into Europe.

Here in a jumbled row for mile on mile are soldiers’ packs. Here are socks and shoe polish, sewing kits, diaries, Bibles and hand grenades. Here are the latest letters from home, with the address on each one neatly razored out – one of the security precautions enforced before the boys embarked.

Here are toothbrushes and razors, and snapshots of families back home staring up at you from the sand. Here are pocketbooks, metal mirrors, extra trousers, and bloody, abandoned shoes. Here are broken-handled shovels, and portable radios smashed almost

Ernie Pyle, World War II correspondent beyond recognition, and mine detectors twisted and ruined.

Here are torn pistol belts and canvas water buckets, first-aid kits and jumbled heaps of lifebelts. I picked up a pocket Bible with a soldier’s name in it, and put it in my jacket. I carried it half a mile or so and then put it back down on the beach. I don’t know why I picked it up, or why I put it back down.

Soldiers carry strange things ashore with them. In every invasion you’ll find at least one soldier

hitting the beach at H-hour with a banjo slung over his shoulder. The most ironic piece of equipment marking our beach – this beach of first despair, then victory – is a tennis racket that some soldier had brought along. It lies lonesomely on the sand, clamped in its rack, not a string broken.

Two of the most dominant items in the beach refuse are cigarettes and writing paper. Each soldier was issued a carton of cigarettes just before he started. Today these cartons by the thousand, watersoaked and spilled out, mark the line of our first savage blow.

Writing paper and air-mail envelopes come second. The boys had intended to do a lot of writing in France. Letters that would have filled those blank, abandoned pages.

Always there are dogs in every invasion. There is a dog still on the beach today, still pitifully looking for his masters.

He stays at the water’s edge, near a boat that lies twisted and half sunk at the water line. He barks appealingly to every soldier who approaches, trots eagerly

along with him for a few feet, and then, sensing himself unwanted in all this haste, runs back to wait in vain for his own people at his own empty boat.

made of railroad iron and standing shoulder-high, just beneath the surface of the water for our landing craft to run into. They also had huge logs buried in the sand, pointing upward and outward, their tops just below the water. Attached to these logs were mines.

In addition to these obstacles they had floating mines offshore, land mines buried in the sand of the beach, and more mines in checkerboard rows in the tall grass beyond the sand. And the enemy had four men on shore for every three men we had approaching the shore.

And yet we got on.

portion of the beach where I am – the worst we had, incidentally – the schedule didn’t hold.

Our men simply could not get past the beach. They were pinned down right on the water’s edge by an inhuman wall of fire from the bluff. Our first waves were on that beach for hours, instead of a few minutes, before they could begin working inland.

You can still see the foxholes they dug at the very edge of the water, in the sand and the small, jumbled rocks that form parts of the beach.

Medical corpsmen attended the wounded as best they could. Men were killed as they stepped out of landing craft. An officer whom I knew got a bullet through the head just as the door of his landing craft was let down. Some men were drowned.

The first crack in the beach defenses was finally accomplished by terrific and wonderful naval gunfire, which knocked out the big emplacements. They tell epic stories of destroyers that ran right up into shallow water and had it out point-blank with the big guns in those concrete emplacements ashore.

When the heavy fire stopped, our men were organized by their officers and pushed on inland, circling machine-gun nests and taking them from the rear.

As one officer said, the only way to take a beach is to face it and keep going. It is costly at first, but it’s the only way. If the men are pinned down on the beach, dug in and out of action, they might as

******************** Over and around this long thin line of personal anguish, fresh men today are rushing vast supplies to keep our armies pushing on into France. Other squads of men pick amidst the wreckage to salvage ammunition and equipment that are still usable.

Men worked and slept on the beach for days before the last D-day victim was taken away for burial.

I stepped over the form of one youngster whom I thought dead.

But when I looked down I saw he was only sleeping. He was very young, and very tired. He lay on one elbow, his hand suspended in the air about six inches from the ground. And in the palm of his hand he held a large, smooth rock.

I stood and looked at him a long time. He seemed in his sleep to hold that rock lovingly, as though it were his last link with a vanish-

ing world. I have no idea at all why he went to sleep with the rock in his hand, or what kept him from dropping it once he was asleep. It was just one of those little things without explanation that a person remembers for a long time. ******************** The strong, swirling tides of the Normandy coastline shift the contours of the sandy beach as they move in and out. They carry soldiers’ bodies out to sea, and later they return them. They cover the corpses of heroes with sand, and then in their whims they uncover them.

As I plowed out over the wet sand of the beach on that first day ashore, I walked around what seemed to be a couple of pieces of driftwood sticking out of the sand.

But they weren’t driftwood.

They were a soldier’s two feet.

He was completely covered by the shifting sands except for his feet.

The toes of his GI shoes pointed toward the land he had come so far to see, and which he saw so briefly.

Miracle From Page 1 and get all the vital supplies and the reinforcements moving more rapidly over it from the stacked-up ships standing in droves out to sea. ******************** Now that it is over it seems to me a pure miracle that we ever took the beach at all. For some of our units it was easy, but in this special sector where I am now our troops faced such odds that our getting ashore was like my whipping Joe Louis down to a pulp.

In this column I want to tell you what the opening of the second front in this one sector entailed, so that you can know and appreciate and forever be humbly grateful to those both dead and alive who did it for you.

Ashore, facing us, were more enemy troops than we had in our assault waves. The advantages were all theirs, the disadvantages all ours. The Germans were dug into positions that they had been working on for months, although these were not yet all complete.

A one-hundred-foot bluff a couple of hundred yards back from the beach had great concrete gun emplacements built right into the hilltop. These opened to the sides instead of to the front, thus making it very hard for naval fire from the sea to reach them. They could shoot parallel with the beach and cover every foot of it for miles with artillery fire.

Then they had hidden machinegun nests on the forward slopes, with crossfire taking in every inch of the beach. These nests were connected by networks of

trenches, so that the German gunners could move about without exposing themselves.

Throughout the length of the beach, running zigzag a couple of hundred yards back from the shoreline, was an immense Vshaped ditch fifteen feet deep.

Nothing could cross it, not even men on foot, until fills had been made. And in other places at the far end of the beach, where the ground is flatter, they had great concrete walls. These were blasted by our naval gunfire or by explosives set by hand after we got ashore.

Our only exits from the beach were several swales or valleys, each about one hundred yards wide. The Germans made the most of these funnel-like traps, sowing them with buried mines. They contained, also, barbed-wire entanglements with mines attached, hidden ditches, and machine guns firing from the slopes.

This is what was on the shore.

But our men had to go through a maze nearly as deadly as this before they even got ashore. Underwater obstacles were terrific.

The Germans had whole fields of evil devices under the water to catch our boats.

Even now, several days after the landing, we have cleared only channels through them and cannot yet approach the whole length of the beach with our ships. Even now some ship or boat hits one of these mines every day and is knocked out of commission.

The Germans had masses of those great six-pronged spiders,

******************** Beach landings are planned to a schedule that is set far ahead of time. They all have to be timed, in order for everything to mesh and for the following waves of troops to be standing off the beach and ready to land at the right moment.

As the landings are planned, some elements of the assault force are to break through quickly, push on inland, and attack the most obvious enemy strong points. It is usually the plan for units to be inland, attacking gun positions from behind, within a matter of minutes after the first men hit the beach.

I have always been amazed at the speed called for in these plans.

You’ll have schedules calling for engineers to land at H-hour plus two minutes, and service troops at H-hour plus thirty minutes, and even for press censors to land at H-hour plus seventy-five minutes.

But in the attack on this special

well not be there at all. They hold up the waves behind them, and nothing is being gained.

Our men were pinned down for a while, but finally they stood up and went through, and so we took that beach and accomplished our landing. We did it with every advantage on the enemy’s side and every disadvantage on ours.

In the light of a couple of days of retrospection, we sit and talk and call it a miracle that our men ever got on at all or were able to stay on.

Before long it will be permitted to name the units that did it. Then you will know to whom this glory should go. They suffered casualties. And yet if you take the entire beachhead assault, including other units that had a much easier time, our total casualties in driving this wedge into the continent of Europe were remarkably low – only a fraction, in fact, of what our commanders had been prepared to accept.

And these units that were so battered and went through such hell are still, right at this moment, pushing on inland without rest, their spirits high, their egotism in victory almost reaching the smartalecky stage.

Their tails are up. “We’ve done it again,” they say. They figure that the rest of the army isn’t needed at all. Which proves that, while their judgment in this regard is bad, they certainly have the spirit that wins battles and eventually wars.

Midland baseball endures heartbreak in regional

By Matt Gajtka matt@theputnamstandard.com A lot of folks at Joe McDonie Fields were thinking it, but Tracy Brumfield said it.

After watching his team battle fellow area power Hurricane in a May 27 regional semifinal showdown, an epic game that ended 1-0 in favor of the visitors, the Cabell Midland baseball coach unleashed his opinion on the current playoff format – a setup that limits a region with four of Class AAA’s top 10 teams to one representative at the state tournament.

“It sounds like I’m a whiner, but it’s a joke,” Brumfield said. “It’s a shame the state doesn’t change anything here. I know there are good teams in other parts (of the state), but the top four or five teams come out of this region year in and year out.

“You’ve got Nitro in the region, you have to go through Huntington High (in the sectionals). You’re going to face two or three all-state pitchers just to get to the state tournament.

“We’ve faced 36 guys in 10 years out of this region who played (Division I) college or minorleague ball, and I’m just talking about pitching.”

True to Brumfield’s description, Midland (21-12) was shut down by Hurricane pitcher J.T. Rogoszewski, a junior who has been extensively scouted by at least one power-conference college program this year.

Rogoszewski didn’t dominate Midland, allowing five hits and

the previous two years, had every opportunity to win with Kinker on the mound. The Ohio State University recruit struck out six and permitted just two singles and two walks, but he couldn’t repeat his feat from last season, when he pitched the Knights past the Redskins on the way to berth in the state final.

Hurricane’s lone run came in the fourth, when Austin Hensley touched home plate on Alex Dunham’s two-out single, which was mishandled for an error. That miscue, combined with leaving nine runners on base in the first five innings, sealed Midland’s fate.

“It could have easily been a 5-0 game early,” Brumfield said.

“You get two, with (Kinker) on the mound, you’re sitting back cruising. We didn’t come up with the hits when we needed them. We do that, and that game’s ours. That’s the bottom line.

“We out-hit them, they had Midland senior Seth Kinker throws a pitch in the final game of more errors than we did, but they his high school career. The Ohio State recruit threw seven innings, had more runs. That’s baseball.” allowing only one run on two hits while striking out six.

postseason restructuring, Ballengee was pleased with the way the team responded to a 4-4 start to once again advance to the regional round, eliminating rival Huntington in the process.

“At the beginning we were struggling,” he said. “Every game we got better. It’s always high expectations each year. We have the regular season and the season that counts. Regular season is all about getting better for the second season.”

Junior catcher Brady Elkins went 1 for 2 with a walk in Midland’s final game of 2014. He didn’t let the disappointment of the loss cloud his positive feelings about the season.

“It’s one of the best programs (in the state) because we work hard at everything we do,” Elkins said. “If we don’t, we lose, and not a player on our team is willing to accept that.”

Kuhn, Tilley and Tyler Hayes joined Elkins and Ballengee in getting hits against Hurricane.

Kuhn, Hayes and Ballengee saw their high school careers end with the loss, as did fellow seniors Eric Wooten, Jacob Perry, Brandon Gibson, Andrew Fraley and Derek Adkins.

Elkins will return for one more season in Ona, but he lamented that a large portion of the team won’t be back next spring.

“We’re about as close as any team could be,” he said. “To me, it’s about winning ballgames with the friends you’ve played with your whole life. We’ve been playing together since we were 7.”

Christian’s Sports Beat: Marshall soccer coaches conduct annual camp

By: Christian Deiss This summer young soccer players in the area will have the opportunity to work on their skills. The Marshall University Thundering Herd Soccer coaching staff will be conducting their annual camp, held at the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex in Huntington.

be under the direction of head coach Bob Gray and assistant coach Thomas Olivier, and will also include other Marshall Soccer staff members. After a recent West Virginia Soccer Club (WVSC) training session, I spoke to coach Olivier about how the camp helps young soccer players.

“It helps them because we try to make it fun and soccer is meant to be fun as a summer camp activity and we try to work on their basic technical skills such as passing, receiving, dribbling, shooting, keeping possession and controlling the ball,” he said.

The camp is scheduled for July 21 -24, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and costs each player $100.

I attended the camp last summer and it helped me with my skills as I prepared to join the WVSC U-10 Rowdies. Coach Olivier made sure during the camp

that all of the players worked on their fundamentals.

“We split into groups by age and ability, so we can do some fundamentals with some age groups that we can’t do with young or less experienced age groups,” he said.

“It just depends on what areas of work the various groups need and we customize the training to help them get better.”

Since Marshall players will also be helping, I am hoping to get a chance to work with my two favorite squad members, Tommy Trupo and Trevor Starcher, both of whom I worked with at last year’s camp and have interviewed a number of times.

Those interested in attending the camp don’t need any previous experience and all abilities are welcomed. Coach Olivier told me there is always a good mix between recreational and travel

“It all depends on their age and ability,” he said. “For the first time this year there will be a group made up of solely travel players so that we don’t mix first timers or second or third year recreational players with travel players. We separate them so that we can give every player a good experience based on their ability.”

At last year’s camp I was able to meet a lot of new players and become friends with them.

One of my fellow WVSC teammates, Ryan Cook attended last year’s camp and plans to go back this summer. Cook talked to me about what he liked about the four-day event.

“My favorite thing is being able to train with the Marshall coaches and players and I’m really excited about the camp being at the soccer complex,” he said. Cook is 10

years old and attends Scott Teays Elementary School in Putnam County.

Along with helping me improve my soccer skills, I, along with all of the other players in the camp learned more than just kicking the ball. Coach Olivier says the staff makes a point of teaching more than just soccer.

“I think one of the most important things we try to do at our camp is to try and teach that through soccer that players even at a young age can learn life skills such as team work, responsibility, perseverance, problem solving and communication,” he said. This is the first year that the camp is being held on the newly built Marshall Soccer Complex.

Questions can be directed to Coach Thomas Olivier at 304696-2434 or olivier@marshall. edu. Hope to see you on the field.

Teacher From Page 1 “Her classroom is a bay of activity,” he said. “It has students truly learning and interacting. She is on her feet working with students and conferencing with students constantly. She is consistently ambitious to do her very best for her students.”

Scarberry’s ambition, she says, comes from her love of teaching.

“I’ve always wanted to be a teacher,” she said. “Even when I was younger, I would always tell my dad and mom that was exactly what I was going to be when I grew up. I just always knew that is what I was going to do.”

This ambition has served her well in the classroom, as Scarberry has become known for her innovative ideas and student interaction skills by teachers and parents alike.

“Heather is so knowledgable about everything,” said Carol M a c C o u r t n e y, f e l l o w O n a Elementary teacher. “She’s a unique teacher and a unique person. She just takes everything head on - you don’t have to ask her for anything. There is nothing she can’t do.”

Parent Jill Holton feels the same way, her son Ben having just finished his year with Scarberry.

“The kids in the class look forward to it and want to be in the class,” Holton said. “You don’t see that with every teacher. Ben was always excited to go to class, and that’s just not him. We always knew when he had a substitute because he wasn’t happy when he

came home.”

Scarberry gears her classes toward technology and social awareness, spending large parts of the year doing special projects such as Arts and Bots, picture editing, food drives and other social awareness activities.

She said that her goals are for students to excel in the classroom, become active members of their community and to feel loved and as if they belong.

“I think your classroom has to be a safe and loving environment for kids to be able to succeed,” she said. “They have to feel comfortable enough to be able to make mistakes, understanding that we all do and that they have to learn from that.”

By combining “normal” lesson planning with interactive activities, Scarberry said she hopes for each student to find their place in a productive community. According to Holton, that is exactly what happened to her son.

“Last year he struggled a little bit with math and this year he absorbed it,” Holton said. “She has changed Ben’s mind about what he wants to be when he grows up.

He wants to be an engineer now. I just think it is because where they did so much more hands on stuff.

They made robots this year and he was so excited when we got to see his robot move and everything.

He talked nonstop about that for weeks while he was building it.”

While parents are attributing their children’s success to

Scarberry’s teaching, she attributes her own to that of her family.

“My family has contributed to my success from the time I was little to now,” she said. “No matter what I wanted to do they have always stood beside me and prayed for me. Without their support, I would have never gotten to where I am now.”

Scarberry’s next adventure is taking her to central office where she will take a position as an instructional coach for Cabell County teachers and be able to spread her love of technology with the rest of the county.

“I thought it was time for a change,” she said. “I felt maybe that I might be able to help someone who thinks that there are activities they can’t do in their classroom, that I can help them so they can be successful.”

While central office and Scarberry are looking forward to her change in locale, others are already feeling the pain of her absence.

“She will be sorely missed by the faculty and staff at Ona,” MacCourtney said. “She’s a true mentor and a true friend. She is truly a visionary for what is going on in the classroom.”

Scarberry said she will always keep her students close to her heart.

“I want my students to know they can do anything they put their mind to and to remember that somebody loves them,” she said.

West Virginia Wildlife Center celebrated the birth of a female bison calf on May 2. Photo courtesy of the West Virginia Department of Commerce.

Baby bison is newest resident at center The newest resident of the West Virginia Wildlife Center in French Creek is a female bison calf, born May 2.

The calf joins the many animals native to West Virginia that are on display at the Wildlife Center.

“A bison calf can walk almost immediately after birth, albeit a bit wobbly,” said Rob Silvester, wildlife biologist for the Wildlife Center. “It will begin to nurse within minutes as well. The calf will nurse for four to six months before beginning to nibble on grass and grain.”

Bison once were found in large numbers in West Virginia and across North America, but now are mostly found in captivity for display purposes or on public lands and ranches. They can weigh as much as 2,400 pounds when fully grown. The Wildlife Center has several adult bison as part of the facility’s exhibit.

“This is a great opportunity for the public to see a bison calf,” Silvester said. “If you want to see one in the wild you’d have to go out west. This is a big event for the Wildlife Center and we hope people will visit us over the spring and summer to help us celebrate.”

The West Virginia State Wildlife Center is a modern zoological facility displaying native and introduced state wildlife. Operated by the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, the Wildlife Center is dedicated to presenting visitors a realistic and factual understanding of our state’s wildlife. Woodland wildlife can be viewed along a 1.25 mile, wheelchair-accessible interpretive trail through a mature hardwood forest.

The spacious enclosures allow the animals to interact with their environment and exhibit more natural behavior patterns. Interpretive signs help visitors learn more about each animal’s life history, biology and its relationship with humans.

The Wildlife Center is open seven days a week year-round, including weekends and holidays.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. April 1-Oct. 31 and 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 1-March 31.
