Midland showcases classes

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com The Cabell Midland High School Academic and Career Academy welcomed the 2015 freshmen class with a night filled with academy demonstrations.

From culinary arts to health sciences, and from fine arts to natural resources, future Knights and their parents were able to get an up close and personal look at the academy options they have before they register for classes.

“Last year we had a lot of parents when they came in to register their kids for the coming year as ninth graders told us that they wished they had known a little bit more about the classes that we offer here at Cabell Midland before they had to fill the form out,” said Principal Kelly Daniels. “So we came up with the idea of a career academy expo and to show all of the different programs and academies we offer here at Cabell Midland High School. That’s what you see here this See Academies, Page 7

A nighttime fire that destroyed A-Z Primitives, the historic Christmas house next door and damaged a neighbor’s house is under investigation by the West Virginia State Fire Marshal.

“You’re talking about a big building,” said Mark Lambert, public affairs officer for the State Fire Marshal.

“There are plenty of follow up interviews to do and information to trace down. I’ve seen [investigations] last

a month and I’ve seen them go a year before. It just depends. Right now it’s pretty much all up in the air.”

According to Cpl. Dean Bishop of the Milton Police Department he received the call about the fire at 11:52 p.m. He responded to the department and 15 minutes later, 12:04 a.m., arrived on scene. In addition to serving the police department Bishop is also a member of the Milton Volunteer Fire Department.

Cabell ‘Flips the classroom’

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com The Cabell County Board of Education received a donation of 45 iPad minis to assist schools in running a Flip the Classroom pilot program aimed at enhancing student learning in the home.

Barboursville Middle and Huntington and Cabell Midland High Schools were each awarded 15 iPad minis by the Marshall University Harless Center, which received funding in turn from the Women’s Educational Forum. The iPads will be given to teachers whose classrooms are participating in Flip the Classroom pilot program.

“Flip the classroom allows teachers to make simple, low tech videos of content,” said Steve Beckelhimer, a representative from the Harless Center.

“It flips those processes around so that kids can do the basic learning at home and when they come to class, teachers can do the things they don’t have time to because they’re too busy doing data dump on these kids’ brains.”

Beckelhimer said this program is being piloted in Cabell, Wayne, Lincoln and Mason counties and differs from using online videos because the teachers are actually seen in action. This, he said, See Classroom, Page 4

Organization forms new Institute for Rural Health Improvement

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com The Center for Rural Health Development celebrated its 20th anniversary in the private sector by announcing the creation of the Institute for Rural Health Improvement.

The center split from government control in 1994. With the new announcement, the initiative is set to improve access to quality care and health outcomes in communities across West Virginia.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin proclaimed Nov. 17-21 as West Virginia Rural Health Week and Nov. 20 as West Virginia Rural Health Day in the mountain state. Tomblin’s spokesperson, Brian Aluise, read the proclamation at the Center for Rural Health Development open house celebration on Nov. 18 due to the death of Tomblin’s mother, Freda Mae Tomblin.

“I encourage all citizens to honor our rural communities as wonderful places to live, work and raise children,” Aluise said on Tomblin’s behalf. “I also encourage both private and public health care organizations and agencies to partner with each other to ensure that West Virginia’s rural communities have the capacity needed to deliver health care and improve the health of our state’s residents into the future.”

The Center for Rural Health Development’s loan fund has leveraged $2.5 million in state legislative appropriations into more than $40 million in rural health infrastructure improvements in partnership with West Virginia banks since 2001. This includes financing the construction of 16 new facilities.

“We are West Virginia’s only non-profit organization that’s nonmembership, working across the entire continuum of health care,” said Brian Helmick, current chair of the board of directors for the Center of Rural Health and Development. “We cover the whole gamut. If it’s in healthcare, we’re touching it. We don’t bring any particular individual interest to the table, except how do we improve healthcare in West Virginia.”

The West Virginia Immunization Network, working in partnership with the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health and other public and private partners, has helped West Virginia lead the nation in the rate of kindergarteners and

Happy Birthday!

adolescents who are fully protected from vaccine-preventable diseases.

Even though West Virginia ranks near the bottom in many health indicators, Helmick said it’s discouraging and sometimes overwhelming to think about, but at the same time it’s also important not to get bogged down with the details and still be able to get things accomplished.

“How we deal with those issues and being able to take one bite at a time, the center can accomplish all things,” Helmick said. “But in the health care arena, we have become very focused on those things that we take on. We take them on very seriously and we try to deal with them and solve them, so that we deal with things that have truly demonstrative and measurable outcomes and we can show that we actually do make a difference.

“By chipping away one at a time, we think we are building a better place and improving health care in West Virginia.”

The Center’s Institute for Health Care Governance has worked with rural hospitals, community health centers and other non-profit organizations to strengthen the effectiveness and quality of governance which benefits their organizations and communities they serve.

“This has been the result of an 18 month strategic planning process,” said Patty Crawford, a Rural Health Development board member. “The center is pleased to announce the creation of a new public-private partnership formed to help communities build upon existing resources to improve health and health care, by developing a strategic approach that strengthens local capacities to address community health needs and focus on long term sustainability.”

Fire From Page 1 tion I saw a little bit of smoke and I actually didn’t see any flames at the time,” he said. “We got to the station, got our gear and got back up there about five minutes later.

“I could see flames shooting out of the side of the building that faces John’s Creek by Sheetz and Wendy’s.”

Bishop said the fire initially seemed small and containable.

“When we got there, it was a little bit of fire and a lot of smoke,” he said. “We entered in through the south facing door of the building and it was completely full of smoke.

“We couldn’t see anything. I couldn’t see fire either.”

However, a potentially dangerous situation turned immediately dangerous as the fire picked up speed, spreading throughout the store.

“We were in one room shooting [water] next to it where the fire was and the fire flashed,” Bishop said. “[A flash] is basically where everything in the room catches on fire at the same time. It’s almost like a little explosion.

“Flames started shooting on top of our head.”

Bishop said the department, who was assisted by Culloden and Ona Volunteer Fire Departments, quickly evacuated after the flash.

The entire building was engulfed

by flames within the next five minutes.

“That’s the nature of construction now,” he said. “Newer construction just burns really fast.

“Especially in the new part, it was pretty open where it was a store. There wasn’t a lot of rooms to contain it to one room or the other.”

The Christmas house, however, was nearly 100 years old. It continued to burn throughout the night and was still smoldering 36 hours later.

Bishop said the department received five calls during the day after the early morning fire as citizens were concerned it was still burning.

“When you have a huge fire like that, especially with the wind we had yesterday, it just incinerates like that,” said Sgt. K.L. O’Dell of the Milton Police Department. “It

has to burn itself out.”

O’Dell said the fire reignited about 24 hours after the fire initially started, causing the fire department to knock down the last wall standing in the building.

Although the fire was dangerous, Bishop said no one was hurt.

Bishop said the owner was contacted after the fire was under control. The owner said she was visiting family in Tennessee, he said.

Unfortunately, there was no surveillance footage available from other local businesses, Bishop said. The surveillance video in A-Z Primitives reportedly malfunctioned about one month ago and had not been replaced, he said.

The Cabell Standard will continue to follow the progress of the investigation.

Thanksgiving is all about giving thanks

November at the Capitol

By Phil Kabler The Charleston Gazette November interims at the Capitol were highlighted by a legislative audit of the Hatfield McCoy Regional Recreation Authority, an audit that found the authority, which manages a network of ATV trails in southern West Virginia, has been highly successful operating as a nonprofit corporation.

Just one problem: Under the 1995 law creating the authority, it actually is a quasi-government agency, and should have been complying with state regulations for purchasing, employment and ethics for the past 18 years.

“Either through ignorance, misinterpretation, or for some other reason, HMRRA has conducted its business as if these laws do not apply to it,” Legislative Auditor Aaron Allred said in the preliminary audit.

“Many of their contracts are, in fact, illegal,” Allred told the Legislative Post-Audits Committee. “The question is, how do you go forward from here?”

The audit found the authority was clearly falling short on two of the three requirements, with no-bid contracts awarded to individuals with ties to the authority, including executive director Jeffrey Lusk’s mother and father, who received $3,399 for catering and $16,546 for printing, respectively. Lusk and counsel Harry Shaffer told legislators they agree with the findings and will work to get into compliance with the law

by July 2015.

“We agree - we are a state agency, we are a spending unit of the state of West Virginia, our employees are public servants and our board members are parttime public officials,” Shaffer said, adding, “In this coming fiscal year, we will be prepared to operate in full compliance with state law.”

Tourism was also on the minds of the Joint Commission on Economic Development, as representatives of the state’s whitewater rafting industry told legislators the industry has been in a freefall, going from more than 225,000 rafters on the New and Gauley rivers in 2000 to fewer than 100,000 this year.

“The biggest thing we can attribute it to is the lack of marketing by the state of West Virginia,” said Rick Johnson, operator of River Expeditions. “We’re getting our butts whipped by every state around us.”

Tourism Commissioner Amy Shuler Goodwin said cutbacks in state Lottery funding for tourism promotion has hurt, and said her commission has an advertising and marketing budget of less than $3 million, or about one-seventh of what neighboring Virginia spends to attract tourists.

Also, she said funds for the advertising matching grants for state tourism destinations have plunged from $23 million in 2004 to $3.3 million this year, as state Lottery revenues have declined, and have also been diverted to fund other programs.

Meanwhile, legislative interim meetings in the November after an election are always a bit awkward and uncomfortable, with defeated legislators attending their final sessions.

With Republicans taking control of the House and Senate after the Nov. 4 elections, the interims had an additional layer of discomfort, with soon-to-beousted Democratic leaders still temporarily in charge of the interim committees through the January meetings.

Also during November legislative interim meetings: * The Joint Committee on Government and Finance authorized a committee to spend the next two months studying enabling legislation that will

need to be passed next session to implement a new Constitutional amendment allowing the Boy Scouts of America to lease out the Summit Bechtel Family Reserve in Fayette County to for-profit organizations and businesses.

State voters on Nov. 4 overwhelmingly approved the Constitutional amendment authorizing the Boy Scouts to host for-profit events at the 10,600-acre high adventure complex without potentially jeopardizing the facility’s tax-exempt status, but a majority of Fayette County voters voted against the amendment, in part, over concerns it could hurt local businesses.

Sen. Bill Laird, D-Fayette, requested the committee be appointed, saying it is critical to come up with legislation authorizing the Boy Scouts to host for-profit events at Summit, possibly including concerts, extreme sports competitions, and corporate retreats and outings, while assuring that does not harm local and regional businesses.

“I think that it can be a huge economic engine for many years to come,” Laird said. “We want to make sure we do it in a manner that doesn’t adversely impact other businesses.” * In his first appearance at legislative interim meetings, new state Superintendent of Schools Michael Martirano outlined his vision for improving public education in the state.

He said that includes assuring school principals are able to be instructional leaders, instead of being consumed with minutia and paperwork.

“There are 281,000 young people in our public schools in West Virginia,” he told the Legislative Oversight Commission on Education Accountability.

“With a fierce level of urgency, we are working toensure they’re college- and career-ready.”

Column by U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin III Months after George Washington became the first President of the United States, both houses of Congress requested that the new American leader proclaim a “day of public thanksgiving and prayer.” Washington obliged and called on all Americans to “unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country.”

Although the tradition of gathering to celebrate good fortunes was common for centuries among Native Americans, the pilgrims and even the Puritans, Washington’s 1787 Thanksgiving declaration would be the first time our newly born nation would come together to nationally reflect on the many blessings Americans share.

Since those initial days of Washington’s presidency, the evolution of Thanksgiving Day has come to pass, moving from a more somber day of observance to an established national holiday where large parades and festive turkey dinners became the forefront of Thanksgiving celebrations.

What used to be a day devoted to religious observance, the fourth Thursday in November now brings families and friends together to enjoy roasted turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes next to scalloped potatoes, cranberry pudding and pumpkin pie, and, of course, daylong football games.

But while we gather among

family and friends this Thanksgiving, let us remember that our forefathers summoned us together not only to celebrate, but to sincerely give thanks for the many blessings that we enjoy every day in this great country. Because no matter what is happening in the life of our country – whether in war or peace, in boom or bust, in triumph or tragedy – we are still so blessed to live in the greatest country in the world.

One of our nation’s greatest blessings is the courage and commitment of the men and women of our Armed Forces who stand guard around the world, preserving our freedom and protecting us from harm. They may not be with their families for the holiday, but they and their loved ones will be in our thoughts and prayers. As Gayle and I surround ourselves by loved ones, we will offer a special thanks for their service and sacrifice.

But as my parents once taught me, if you can count your blessings, you can share your blessings.

I encourage all West Virginians to do the same this year as the holiday season officially kicks off. Take this time to serve, to spend time with those who are lonely, sick or less fortunate, and to reflect upon our values and beliefs with loved ones.

This year, I encourage all West Virginians to not forget Thanksgiving Day’s humble roots and embrace one of America’s favorite holidays by gathering together, saying grace and reflecting on our many blessings.

I sometimes watch the Hallmark channel movies and most of them are about the same, two people are either engaged or get engaged but they really don’t love each other and then they find someone who really really understands them and then the plot thickens.

I have also noticed that some of the movies on the Hallmark channel did not start out as Hallmark movies! Imagine that. Well, most of the Hallmark movies are fine for all audiences but then some of them are switched around for us to think

that they really are wholesome.

Anyway, I was watching a Hallmark movie and the previews for the countdown to Christmas is starting soon! But wait, there is more. What happened to thanksgiving?

Every year the Thanksgiving holiday is getting pushed out of America and especially on our TV stations and with all the commercialization of Christmas. Thanksgiving is a time when we stop and give thanks to the one true God and Savior, Jesus Christ and for his many blessings on us.

Rules of Engagement for Students Column by Superintendent William A. Smith In the nation’s quest for greater student achievement, much of the rhetoric since No Child Left Behind has been centered on the outcome of student success as measured by the annual achievement test – becoming the one and only measure of a school’s effectiveness.

We are beginning to see a new trend of tying that one test result to the individual teacher evaluation.

While the debate still rages as to whether high stakes testing or some other type of reform is the silver bullet for all of the complex issues in public education, I believe it is easy to lose sight of the need to engage the learner. Students learn best under two conditions: the learning is relevant and there is a supportive and caring relationship with the adults who are teaching.

Student engagement is and has always been a front-burner issue for success in school.

Everyone who attended school can tell you about that teacher

who made a difference, who really cared about who you were and what your potential was.

We r e member the Smith teachers who expected great things from us and would accept no less. These were the teachers who engaged us as learners.

I recently had an opportunity to attend a workshop conducted by a well-known author and former teacher, Eric Jensen. Dr. Jensen has spent much of his professional life thinking about the role of neuroscience and learning – the brain and how we learn. In his book, Engaging Students with Poverty in Mind: Practical Strategies for Raising Achievement, he elaborates on what he calls the five rules of engagement.

His discussion of these rules alone is good reason to read his

book, but for our purposes here, I just want to briefly mention these five rules (Jensen, pp. 20-33) that I find both instructive for use as educators and also instructive for us as parents as we try to enhance the learning for our children.

Rule #1 – Upgrade Your Attitude – Students can easily sense a positive attitude toward them and will act accordingly. Students need us to believe in them so that they can believe in themselves.

Rule #2 – Build Relationships and Respect – Students who have positive relationships with their teachers experience less stress, behave more appropriately, and feel more excited about learning. Jensen documents that students almost always work harder for teachers they like.

Rule #3 – Get Buy-in – We can make school a joy and a privilege rather than an obligation for our students. We have to “sell” the learning to students.

Jensen says that if the learner doesn’t believe he needs to know it, he will disconnect.

Rule #4 – Embrace Clarity – Dr. Jensen cites research that

establishes that teacher clarity ranks in the top 10 of all student achievement factors. Students must clearly understand what is expected. Effective communication is connected to Rule #2.

Rule #5 – Show Your Passion – This rule involves that most effective communication strategy which is the nonverbal communication. We must show our excitement about the learning so that it shows in our body language and the way we talk about it. Students need to see the excitement in our eyes.

There is so much more to learn from Dr. Jensen on this topic and I hope you can find some time to read his book.

As superintendent, I believe that we need to focus our quest for achievement on the right target, the learner, rather than simply a standardized test score.

Reinventing our schools to become more inviting and engaging for our students is the right approach and will result in students who are successful with a sense of purpose and well-being – essential elements of a great life, the ultimate goal of education.

West Virginia to hold public meeting to discuss elk A meeting to help determine public interest in the restoration of elk to West Virginia has been scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 4 at the Larry Joe Harless Community Center in Gilbert, Mingo County.

The meeting is being conducted by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR), and the public is encouraged to attend and participate.

DNR has been working on a proposed elk restoration plan for the past few years and the taking of public comment is the next stage of the plan. Written comments may be mailed to: West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, Wildlife Resources Section, 324 4th Avenue, South Charleston WV, 25303 or by email DNR. Wildlife@wv.gov. Written comments must be submitted by Dec. 29, 2014.

makes the program more successful than just using Kahn Academy are something related.

“Our results have been phenomenal,” he said. “Your students want you. They want their teacher explaining it to them.”

Dr. Jeff Smith, assistant superintendent over school improvement, said this essentially takes what is normally class time and sends it home, while what is normally thought of as homework is done in the classroom.

“Rather than lecturing in the classroom and giving 20 minutes to practice and then taking the rest home, instead you watch the teacher and how she did it at home and when you come into classrooms, you’re actually working those problems or getting into groups and solving problems utilizing that algorithm rather than spending time sitting there listening,” Smith said.

“Homework needs to be applicable to what is going on in the classroom. Students need to be able to do it independently without help and it needs to be guided practice.”

The Flip the Classroom program is voluntary for teachers and supported by monthly seminars conducted by the Harless Center.

“These folks give up one Saturday per month to come hang out with us and learn ways of making and using video and other asynchronous instruction more effectively,” Beckelhimer said.

Midland’s Jacob Hendricks battles against the Huntington defense for a first down.

Knights end season in hard fought battle

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com No. 2 Cabell Midland beat No. 7 Huntington 31-26 back in the fourth week of the regular season.

The Knights couldn’t pull off the feat twice, however, as they came up a touchdown shy against the Highlanders in the Class AAA quarterfinals, 28-21.

Huntington cornerback Dionne Jackson picked off a Coy Pettit pass as the Knights were driving for the tying score in the final minute. The interception came on third-andgoal for Midland from the 6-yard line with 20 seconds remaining. It sealed the deal for the Highlanders, who move on to play South Charleston in the semi-finals.

“He just made a good break on the ball,” Pettit said. “It looked like he knew it was coming.”

Another big play came on a 57yard touchdown run up the middle

by Huntington running back Brandon Morrison. The score put the Highlanders out in front 21-14 with 5:32 to go in the third quarter. The play came on the first snap after the Midland offense had gone threeand-out and was forced to punt.

“We didn’t execute,” said Cabell Midland coach Luke Salmons.

“They made some big plays and we didn’t. It was kind of a big play type game.”

The Knights fought back to tie things up at 21-21 when Pettit connected with Jacob Hendricks from 11 yards out in the corner of the end zone with 9:58 remaining in the third quarter. Alex Childers paced the Knights rushing attack with 167 yards on 28 carries and two touchdown’s, while fullback Caperton Humphrey carried 16 times for 79 yards.

“We had a great game plan coming in,” said Humphrey while removing the tape from his ankles.

“Sometimes we just didn’t make the plays. We were down there in the red zone in the fourth quarter, but we just didn’t execute. The game could’ve gone either way.

We made some mistakes, a couple penalties that kind of hurt us, but

other than that it was up for grabs.”

The Knights had 10 penalties called against them for 95 yards.

On the opening play of the game, Childers put the ball on the turf at the Midland 19-yard line, which led to the first score for the Highlanders. On third-and-goal, on the ensuing drive, Morrison carried the ball in to give Huntington an early 7-0 lead just over two minutes into the game.

Morrison racked up 141 yards rushing on 22 carries and three touchdowns to lead the Highlanders. Dual-threat quarterback Dionne Jackson ran for one touchdown to go along with the game clinching interception. The Knights dominated in total yardage holding a 435-233 advantage.

The Highlanders pinned the Knights offense back multiple times with good special team plays, which Salmons said hurt Midland early in the game.

“We didn’t have great field position early,” Salmons said. “Then later we had better field position and the game started changing, but it’s hard to do things when you’re pinned down in your own end. In the playoffs it’s important to have the ball with good field position so you can do things.”

Pettit connected on a huge pass play to Childers for 34 yards in the third quarter, which eventually led to a Childers touchdown from 2-yards out and tied the game at 14-all in the third quarter.

Pettit finished with 129 yards passing and one touchdown through the air. He also connected with Jacob Hendricks on a 49-yard catch and run. The play set up the Knights in Highlander territory as they looked for the tie in the final minutes.

“These guys are my brothers,” Pettit said from just outside a subdued locker room. “We practice and live together for a year pretty much. I’m sad it’s over and I’ll come back and see them every time I can.”

The Knights finished the year at 10-2 overall. The only other loss came against Capital in week 7 of

“We had a great team,” Humphrey said. “It sucks to see us go out like this, but I love each and every one of these guys. They’re my brothers. Next season we’ll be right back at the top…no doubt.”

Memorial tree service on Dec. 1

Eighth graders and their families were elbow-to-elbow as Midland’s academies filled the auditorium lobby and both gyms with demonstrations of their students’ work. This was the first year of the CMHS academy expo.

Academies From Page 1 evening – a complete demonstration of every elective class that is offered at CMHS and it’s pretty amazing.”

Beginning with a performance by the Midland jazz band, drum line and a showcase of choral talent, the Knights packed in future students and their families to see demonstrations.

In the auditorium lobby, students in the theater program applied fake wounds in a demonstration of their stage makeup abilities.

Midland teachers spoke with families about their classes and how it could benefit upcoming students.

“We can take anyone we can get and we’d love to have you,” said Band Director Tim James. “We have a lot to offer.”

The culinary arts program garnered a lot of attention as the smell of its meatballs, stuffed mushrooms and fried eggs filled the lobby, prompting a continuous line of students and families.

Near by, art students demonstrated their figure drawing skills as they drew quick sketches of anyone willing to sit still on a stool.

In the auxiliary gym, the health sciences academy garnered deserved attention as they performed medical procedures on a nursing simulation dummy while other students demonstrated their ability to perform live sticks and EKGs.

“Cabell Midland’s program is really good because we get to experience what we can do as a career,” said Christopher Courts, a 2014 alumnus who now works at a pharmacy while attending Marshall. “The second semester of this class, we get to go out to clinicals and we get to work two hours a day in a pharmacy and get the experience that goes along with it. It’s been very beneficial for me.”

The allure of college credit options is what brought a lot of parents to the expo.

“This is great,” said Kim Krantz, whose son will be a Knight in the fall. The Krantz’s are not new to CMHS, as their daughter is an alumna.

“Our history with this school has been really great,” she said.

“The greatest thing for us is that our son wants to go to college and there is a lot of opportunity for college credit.”

The evening ended with a riveting performance from the awardwinning theater program, show choir and orchestra, wrapping up what will surely be an annual event in the future.

“It’s great for them to see that we are more than just a high school down the road,” Daniels said. “We are a community building and I think that’s fantastic for us.”

Area residents are invited to honor their loved ones during the Seventh Annual Lesage Christmas Memorial Tree Lighting Ceremony, scheduled for Monday, Dec. 1.
