“All American” Milton VFW cooks up apple butter

By Michael Circle

michael@theputnamstandard.com

Milton’s Veterans of Foreign Wars post is the state’s newest “All American,” a distinguished title given to high profile posts within West Virginia.

Post Commander Ray Hatfield said he hopes the new title along with a lengthy list of community events and sponsorships will entice area veterans to join and become active.

“When we ask for donations for our youth programs, if they

know we are an All-American post, they’ll know we’re doing something right with programs that are being recognized by the nation’s leaders,” Hatfield said. “It means prestige in our community.”

Hatfield and other post members work hard throughout the year supporting the community where they live. One popular activity is its fall apple butter sale.

It is the post’s biggest fundraiser. The money raised from the sales will help support the post and fund youth activities.

“Our main thing is supporting

the veterans that are in need and our youth,” Hatfield said. “We’ve got to tell these kids that are coming up about patriotism and the sacrifice that’s been made by people in the service. The kids might not know where their freedoms and liberties come from.”

Each quart of apple butter will cost $8. It helps pay for the rewards

Barboursville considers splash park

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

If you like tearing up the dance floor, Top Hat Ballroom may be the place for you.

Top Hat, owned by Paul and Gail Patton and located on U.S. 60 in Barboursville, offers dance lessons, yoga, pilates and fitness classes. The Pattons opened their doors in July of 2006 and haven’t looked back since.

“We had been taking dance lessons in Huntington, but Paul was very nervous to

The Barboursville City Council has approved the Barboursville Convention and Visitors Bureau to apply for funding to install a splash park next to the amphitheater in Barboursville City Park.

This project, coordinated by CVB Director Brandi Beasley, is slated to begin construction no later than April and be open by the time school is out, assuming the village can come up with the funding.

Beasley said she has already submitted a grant to the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a federal program which in July announced a proposed distribution of $43.38 million. Of this distribution, $463,345 has been allocated for West Virginia. Beasley’s grant requested $100,000, which, if granted, would require an equal match from the village.

“We’re keeping our options open,” said Finance Director Diana Roy. “But we are prepared to do the 50/50 match.”

Beasley is also preparing a grant proposal for the Building Better Communities Grant Program, administered by the American Water Charitable Foundation in partnership with the National Recreation and Park Association. The foundation has earmarked $2.5 million to the program and is accepting grant applications until Dec. 5. Beasley intends to request $150,000 for

Bancroft fatal shooting involved close friends

By Amanda Smythers

amanda@theputnamstandard.com

When Heather Ennis heard screams outside shortly after 3 p.m., she thought there was a fire.

“I expected to see the trailer on fire,” she said. “He was on the ground screaming and that was my first thought – that was the first thing that would seem extreme enough for that kind of reaction that could possibly happen around here.”

In the Old Ferry Trailer Park in Bancroft on Oct. 28, 20-year-old Troy Cobb, a recent graduate of Poca High School, was fatally shot in the head, dying seconds before ambulances arrived on the scene.

The alleged shooter? His best friend and roommate, 23-year-old Jacob Smailes, who is now being held without bond, charged with first-degree murder.

“I’ve never seen anything more horrible in my life,” said Tiffany Loudermilk, a neighbor and the last one to see Cobb alive. “It was graphic. I close my eyes and I see it.”

The scene couldn’t be more confusing for friends and neighbors, who said Cobb and Smailes were rarely apart, acting more like brothers than good friends.

“The only time they were ever apart was when he was at school or work,” said Roger Allen, who was visiting Loudermilk when the shooting occurred. He said he and Smailes have been friends for over a decade.

“They’ve been working on the jeep sitting down there for at least three months,” he said. “They even asked me to come down and help the other day before all this happened.”

With a passion for cars, Loudermilk said the two roommates were almost always seen either working on their cars or helping someone else’s.

“They were best friends,” she said. “They were always together.

They were always fixing somebody’s car, there wasn’t a day in the six months they’ve lived here that I’ve seen them apart.”

Beyond enjoying each others’ c o m p a n y, Loudermilk said Smailes helped Cobb financially as well.

“Jake took care of Troy,” Smailes she said.

“Troy’s been down on his luck and Jake’s been pretty good.”

But this is where the problem may have originated: money.

According to the criminal complaint filed by Sgt. Lisa Arthur of the sheriff’s department in Putnam County Magistrate Court, Christopher Harmon, a friend of both boys and witness to the shooting, said Cobb and Smailes began arguing about bills before Smailes told Cobb to leave.

When Cobb refused, Smailes went into the next room and brought back a gun from the gun cabinet.

“I was told the argument was all over a $40 phone bill,” Loudermilk said. “I knew Troy a little bit more than I knew Jake, but I didn’t think he would be capable of something like that.”

Whether Smailes shot Cobb is not debatable: he openly admitted to neighbors and 911 dispatch that he had. The question, however, is whether or not it was intentional.

“I talked to Jacob when he was on the phone with 911 and all he kept saying to me is, ‘I shot him, I killed him, I didn’t mean to,’ ” Allen said. “That’s all he kept saying with tears streaming down his face on the phone with 911.”

Loudermilk and Ennis described what they saw in the trailer. “[Cobb] was slumped over on the couch and at first all I saw was the blood,” Loudermilk said. “I snatched up an ace bandage that was laying on the floor and I went to try and apply pressure and that’s when I realized the wound was in the eye. I didn’t want to push hard but I just kept the ace bandage over his eye and I kept telling him he wasn’t alone.”

Velma’s View “Sliding along” I had not been driving very long and I was making a trip to Hecks department store, do you all remember the Hecks store where Liberty Square is now?

I believe the Big Lots store would be in that spot where Hecks used to be. We loved going to Hecks and that is the place I would go shopping every now and then.

One day I went to Hecks and I was driving alone and I felt I could just about do anything. Well, it so happened that I was coming around the curve where the new school is and that is where the skate rink

used to be. I find a lot has changed in Teays Valley and that area over the last 30 years. Yes I am getting old.

Getting back to the story it was raining and, I turned the curve and was going too fast and I came upon a stopped car and I hit my breaks and I slid in the rain and I think I slid for a mile!

I am so glad that I didn’t rearend that car. I should have listened to my dad and slowed down in the rain. He is right. The wet roads can be just as slick as the snow, believe me. I never have gone fast again in the rain and wet roads, so slow down.

Troy Cobb and Jacob Smailes were roommates and lived in this trailer in the Old Ferry Trailer Park in Bancroft.

Loudermilk applied pressure to to the criminal charge. into the house, and she wouldn’t the wound while Ennis took his “Based on the witness that was let him because we didn’t think pulse, yelling outside to tell the inside the residence, there was very he needed to see it, and he said, ambulance to hurry up. credible evidence on what was seen ‘they want to know where he’s “She came in and kept taking his and what was heard, and that’s been shot.’ pulse and I just kept talking to him why my crime unit decided it was “He kept saying, ‘I don’t know, I and telling him his family loved not an accident it was definitely don’t know, it was an accident’ and him, to hold on there’s help on a homicide,” DeWeese said. “If I Heather turned around and asked the way – something that I would pull my gun out and point it at you, me where was he shot.” want someone to do for me,” Lou- then my intent is to use it.

Cabell schools participate in Feed to Achieve program

By Erika Bibbee West Virginia University Cabell County Schools are working to boost nutrition by getting more students to participate in school-offered breakfasts, along with making school meals healthier.

The county has been successful with their efforts with an increase in participation rates though it is still lower than other counties.

Breakfast participation in Cabell has risen from 29 percent in 2010 to 47 percent. Statewide, the breakfast participation rate was 29 percent in 2010 and is now 41 percent.

Cabell County has one of the lowest statewide participation rate in breakfast, but is at the same level with many counties for lunch.

Senate Bill 663, or as everyone calls it, the West Virginia Feed to Achieve Act, was passed in April of 2013, but implementation began in the past 2014 school year. The Feed to Achieve Act ensures that every child has access to a minimum of two nutritious meals per day. Including lunch, of course, there are approved systems for breakfast including Grab-And-Go Breakfasts, Breakfasts in the Classroom or Breakfast After First Period.

In West Virginia, 60 percent of children are considered needy.

Statistics show breakfast partici-

pation statewide in 2014 is at 41 percent and lunch participation is about 61 percent. As of October of 2013, Cabell County was sitting at 64 percent of children considered needy.

“You can’t educate a hungry child,” said Richard Goff, Director of the Office of Child Nutrition.

Goff said he believes breakfast is being offered at the absolute worst time of the day, saying the children should get ready for school, come to school and eat their breakfast, then be ready to start learning for the day. He said this will make the children more attentive and tardies will be reduced.

Local donations have funded the Feed to Achieve Program.

The problem faced is if there’s not enough money being donated, then how are the children going to be fed?

The Feed to Achieve Act establishes nonprofit funds through private donations to pay for the meals and other food related programs in the schools. Nonprofits will also maximize the availability for federal funds.

This is a problem faced for Cabell County Schools.

Superintendent of Cabell County Schools Bill A. Smith said they haven’t received any donations yet.

“It’s important to bring in local donations,” Goff said. “Kids will

have more access to meals if counties donate.”

Cabell County Schools participate in the Community Eligible Option or CEO program. Now it is known as the Community Eligibility Program or CEP. This program is for schools that are listed as eligible and free meals are provided for every child.

Cabell County’s eligibility is above the state average.

“We switched breakfast to first period and the children can have their breakfast in first period, and kids coming late can catch breakfast in class,” Smith said. “The first period is about 20 or 30 minutes, so the children running late will have enough time to eat their breakfast.”

Feed to Achieve changed the nutrition of meals to come through local production. This process stimulates the economy and helps local farmers. Food is bought locally to help with the backpack program and afterschool programs, so the children will have food over the weekend, and holidays, such as Christmas Break.

Rhonda McCoy, Director of Food Service for Cabell County Schools, explains the change in foods that the schools have undergone.

“We just think the meals we offer are healthy and nutritious, and it’s a good deal,” McCoy said.

“Every school has a salad bar in addition to a school meal, along with fresh fruit and vegetables offered every day.”

Smith believes it’s great for children to learn about what they’re eating at an earlier age so they can make healthier decisions as they become older.

“We have a much better understanding of good nutrition and learning now,” he said.

The cooks are providing healthier recipes and cooking from scratch to help the children better understand healthy eating habits and learn more about food labels.

Along with salads, fruits and vegetables, cafeterias are also offering a healthier choice for meals according to Food Service Executive Secretary Linda Beaty.

“We serve the children whole grains, including pastas and breads,” Beaty said. “This way the children aren’t as picky and enjoy the food the cafeteria serves them.”

There has been an improvement in breakfast participation, but just a slight drop for participation in lunch from 2010 to 2014.

McCoy said the slight decrease in participation for lunch last year was because of the weather. She said she thinks it decreased because the children couldn’t get to school due to the horrific weather.

Along with the weather, there

dances but most of the time this is about ballroom. It’s more serious and more formal.”

Gail said ballroom dancing is all about getting to know your partner, as ballroom dancing cannot be learned without a dance partner.

She said partners must work in harmony to truly master the art.

“It’s the only art that is performed as a couple so you learn to work with a partner,” Gail said.

“It’s a big part of what we do – we teach people how to dance together.

You have to work a little bit harder but for people who are couples in real life, you learn a lot about the other person.”

Romantic partners aren’t the only couples seen on the Top Hat dance floor. Linsy and John Gillenwater, a father-daughter pair out of Nitro, have been learning from the Pattons for about a month.

“We’ve had a lot of fun,” John said. “When [Linsy’s] boyfriend is here, I’m going to keep doing this

with my wife.”

Linsy said she has never known ballroom dance, but the Pattons have made it easy for her.

“They’re very friendly,” she said. “They’re nice and they’re helpful. They know we’re doing it wrong but they smile anyway.”

“They put up with me so they have to be nice,” John said, laughing.

Top Hat offers three classes per week, accepting all levels of dancers. Debra and Nat DeBruin began classes in 2007, advancing to the more advanced classes as time went on.

“It’s a lot of fun,” Debra said.

“They’re great teachers and they break it down into understandable steps.”

The DeBruins are regulars to Top Hat, taking part in more than just lessons during the week.

“If you don’t practice, you just don’t get it,” Nat said. “So one of the things we like is that they have dances twice a month. That’s where we practice.”

Debra said Top Hat dances allow participants to practice without feeling intimidated.

“It’s very casual,” she said.

“There are no dance police here – you don’t have to feel intimidated.

Eat a little bit, dance a little bit – it’s just a lot of fun.”

In addition to having fun, the DeBruins said they like having an excuse for physical activity during the week.

Paul and Gail Patton (left) opened Top Hat in 2006 and immediately started teaching lessons. But this doesn’t stop them from having fun - they dance alongside their students as much as possible.

were water issues, which shut the schools down and lowered participation rates.

According to Goff, there have been many challenges faced. Feed to Achieve wanted to create a public identity that lets the public know that every dollar being given is feeding the children, especially the ones who are needy.

There have been some complaints from parents and teachers, however. Some teachers have complained that they don’t like having breakfast served in the classrooms.

Others say the breakfast takes up too much time. Goff said a lot of teachers have bought into the system.

What about the summer? How will the children who are needy be fed? These are some important factors West Virginia schools need to be concerned about and so do parents of these certain children.

There has been a great increase of breakfast participation in the state of West Virginia since 2010.

Participation was at 29 percent in 2010 and increased to 36 percent in 2013.

As of 2014 it is 41 percent.

There has only been a slight decrease in lunch participation from 66 percent in 2010 to 61 percent in 2014.

Top Hat From Page 1 dance on a crowded dance floor,” Gail said. “So we were looking to dance somewhere with less people.

I found this place for rent and decided to try it but in order to pay the rent, we had to start teaching.”

Paul said having a career in education already, the transition to teaching was easy.

“I am a scholar anyway,” he said. “I’ve always been a teacher in all sorts of things. I’ve always ended up teaching in one way or another. I like to study things.”

Top Hat operates on a monthto-month schedule, featuring a different type of dance every month. While their main focus is on traditional ballroom dances such as swing, waltz, tango and cha-cha, they also teach “party” dances, such as salsa and meringue.

“At the center of our curriculum is the waltz, tango, fox trot, cha cha, rumba and swing,” Gail said.

“These are the center of everything – the big ones. We also teach party

“Ballroom is something, barring any health issues, I can do for the rest of my life,” Debra said.

Paul said a lot of his students come to get off their feet.

“Some people come for the exercise,” he said. “It’s a low impact, somewhat aerobic activity. It’s mental activity as well as physical – it’s something that keeps your mind going. You learn how to problem solve on your feet.”

The lessons at Top Hat rotate between dances, each month featuring a different type of ballroom dance with the summers reserved for “party” dances.

Paul said participants could look forward to fun music to go along with it.

“We’re told we have really good music,” he said. “Some of it’s modern, some of it’s old, some of it’s stuff you hear on the radio.”

Veterans Day

The Cabell Standard

Milton VFW From Page 1 of winning the Patriot Pen and the Voice of Democracy essay competitions the VFW hosts every year. The Patriot Pen is a contest for middle school-aged children and the Voice is for high school students.

“The two contests are to help children understand patriotism and Democracy,” Hatfield said. “I think it’s something we really need and we here would like to get our community up to speed and really conscious about it.”

Hatfield said the apple butter fundraiser began at 5:30 a.m., when the two large cauldron-like pots were placed over wood fires and all of the ingredients added.

The Milton VFW recently cooked up its apple butter on Tuesday, Oct. 21 with help from its members.

The mixture cooked all day, constantly stirred by members of Post 9796, until the consistency was thick enough to be poured.

The first pot, which held about 30 gallons, was poured into the jars nine hours later. The second, a 50-gallon pot, was on the fire until after 3 p.m.

“We’ll probably do this about two or three times a year depending on how our sales go,” Hatfield said. “It’s a way of making affordable apple butter available to our community.”

Other fundraisers the post holds at their building off Pumpkin Way include dinners and renting the facility out to church groups or other organizations. To handle a wide variety of groups, Hatfield said the post chose not to have a canteen, or a bar area with any combination of slot machines, billiards and alcohol.

“We like to furnish an alcoholfree, smoke-free, gambling-free post that any one who wants to rent can,” he said.

David Wallace, the post quartermaster, said the post is full of great members who want to help each other.

“We have a great group of guys,” he said. “We’re veterans not only helping veterans but the community and we concentrate heavily on the youth. We want them all to be flag waivers and understand the role veterans have played in history.”

Hatfield understands the importance of the men that work with him to run the post, he said.

The VFW will continue to sell its apple butter until supplies run out. For more information, call Merrill Lunsford, quartermaster, at 304-743-6197, or Ball at 304743-6110.

Veterans Dinner Milton VFW Post 9796 and Milton American Legion Post 139 are teaming up to provide a Veterans Day dinner to be held at the VFW Post from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9. All veterans welcome.

Splash Park From Page 1 the splash park.

In total, Roy said the park’s initial cost is somewhere in the $250,000 range, although the

numbers and budget have not yet construction, the cost of maintebeen finalized. Of that cost, the city nance will transfer to the Parks Deis prepared to pay half out of the partment’s list of responsibilities. capital reserve project fund. After “As far as operating cost, there shouldn’t be anything,” Roy said.

“It should be pretty cost effective to run. The maintenance on them is so much less than that of a swimming pool.”

The largest hiccup in the project thus far, has been figuring out where to put it. The nature of the grants, Beasley said, is what led her to decide to place the splash park at the city park rather than downtown or by the pool.

“I was trying to find something that could help us develop and market the amphitheater area and to draw attention to that side of the park,” she said. “We already have other resources we need there such

as bathroom facilities, electricity, parking, etc.”

Roy said the council has thought about a splash park before, but has never actually decided to go through with it due to the location debate.

“We just lack space so bad in town,” she said. “This solved that problem because the grants are only for the promotion and upgrade of parks.”

Beasley said the lot for the splash park measures 50 feet by 40 feet and is directly behind the amphitheater. She has already received two proposals from contractors and is waiting on a third, after which the public will be able to view a mock up.

In the meantime, she said she has already been getting commu-

nity feedback, collecting over 600 anonymous surveys in less than one week. When asked, “Would you be willing to attend a free Splash Park, if installed in Barboursville Park?”

81.4 percent replied “regularly,” 17.67 percent replied “often” and 0.93 percent replied “never.”

“It was overwhelmingly positive,” Beasley said. “If it’s something that is well attended, we can do more actually at the amphitheater. I feel like the sky is the limit when you have resources like that available.”

Beasley is still taking survey responses online, enabling residents to contribute not only their probability of using the splash park, but to contribute their ideas on how the park should look and how it should be run. To complete the survey, go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/ JXGQZ5Q.

Midland boys cross country earn state runner-up

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Cabell Midland boys and girls cross country teams overcame a muddy and cold day and brought back trophies and medals for the school.

The boys finished second, capturing the state runner-up trophy for class AAA while the girls team placed eighth.

“Both of our teams ran a good race,” Midland coach Chris Parsons said. “Both teams finished in the top ten. We had a good race.”

Every year Cabell Midland hosts the State Cross Country Championship on its home course. This year more than 400 runners took part in the 3.1-mile race.

As the race started, the first

100-meter stretch offered plenty of mud as to not give the runners a false expectation of ease. Before fully rounding the baseball fields on the Cabell Midland campus, every runner was caked in mud from head to toe.

This didn’t stop the athletes, however, and the Midland boys were just as eager to get their hands dirty.

With a combined time of 85:52.90, the boys earned second place overall behind University (84:21.90).

“When we saw [University] put up four runners in the top ten, we knew who had won the race,” Parsons said. “They established positions well and we could not close the gap. We had a great race, though, and we got beat by a bet-

ter team.”

Midland senior Brandon Atkinson was the first Knight to cross the finish line, finishing 12th with a time of 17:05.50.

“I felt we all did well,” he said.

“I wish I was a bit faster but we made pretty good time. It was a challenging course but I’m happy to be second. We lost to a better team and I have a lot of respect for them.”

As with many of the races Cabell Midland’s boys have run, many of the runners finished the race together in a tight group of red and grey jerseys. After Atkinson a sea of red sporting the CM logo crossed the finish line. The rest of the Knights placed in all but one of the 12th through 20th spots.

Coy Smith placed 13th with a time of 17:08.70. After a small gap, Jonathon Hathaway (17:10.40) and Josh Minor (17:12.60) finished in 16th and 17th. The 18th and 19th positions were held

by Nick Salmons with 17:15.70 and Austin Jordan with a time of 17:19.40. Will Sheils rounded out the Knights’ seven in 25th with a time of 17:38.70.

“I was happy to finish 16th,” Hathaway said. “I did expect a little better but with injuries, it was difficult. Still, I’m happy we placed second overall.”

Parsons was pleased with the showing.

“We may have had a couple of runners who wish they could have done better, but our team ran a good race and second place makes us very happy,” he said.

In the class AAA the Lady Knights finished eighth overall with a combined time of 115:15.90.

“With the girls team, we were hit with a lot of unfortunate things this season,” Parsons said. “We had a lot of injuries to the runners but our ultimate goal this season was to make it to states and we did. We had a good race with them too.

Eighth in the state isn’t bad.”

Katie Riedel was the first Knight to cross the line in the girls race, finishing in 28th with a time of 22:01.20. Zoey Chapman (22:42.00), Lindsay Cummings (22:56.30) and Emily Laverty (23:30.00) followed each other across the finish line in 43rd, 46th and 49th. Bethany Harshbarg-

er (24:06.40) and Allison Short (24:18.90) were next for Midland in 58th and 59th, followed by Kendall McKneely who rounded out the Midland team in 62nd with a time of 24:27.10.

Parsons said the teams did an outstanding job in surpassing their personal best, and the event was well received.

“We don’t want to pat ourselves on the back but things went really well,” Parsons said. “Even with the extreme conditions, the mud, the rain, the temperature, everything went smoothly with absolutely zero complaints. We had great support from our Midland family, people who have helped us as alums or even with no dog in the fight.

“We wanted to have our visitors glad they came and I think we accomplished that.”

With the final AAA girl crossing the finish line, the cross-country season came to a close. “The new season begins now,” Parsons said in front of the runners who competed.

Parsons said he hopes to encourage all the runners to continue practicing until the season opener next fall.

Midland volleyball rocks rival Huntington

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The Cabell Midland volleyball team had a decisive victory over county rival Huntington High School in the first round of the sectional tournament, taking the game three sets to zero.

The Lady Knights (25-16-5), who came into the match 2-1 vs.

Huntington on the season, began explosively, rocking the Lady Highlanders 25-7 in the first set.

“We worked really well together,” said senior libero Savannah Bevins. “There is a lot more defensive people this year than there usually is. That takes adjusting and I think we have really adjusted well.”’

Midland won the next two sets 25-20 and 25-19, securing its place in the winners bracket showdown scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 5 for Region 4.

“In the first set we saw them playing very well,” said head coach Julie Brumfield. “We just got a little lazy in the second game and [Huntington] made it a pretty good game. It could have gone either way. We’re just glad it went our way.”

The Lady Knights were in near perfect form, their attack seeming almost methodical. This, Bevins said, is a direct result of working on their communication, a key to the team’s success.

“We were not talking in the beginning of the season at all and now we do,” she said. “We’re calling the ball, we’re talking better and we work better together.”

The star of the night was sophomore outside hitter Callie Bellomy, with 15 of the team’s 30 kills.

While Bellomy has an explosive spike, Brumfield said she is also a great leader for the team.

“She’s outstanding,” Brumfield said. “If she gets down, she gets out of the funk pretty fast. She encourages everybody else. She still has some way to go before college but I could see her playing on the next level very easily.”

Mindset is an integral part of Midland’s play, the team spending as much time focusing on staying positive as they do working on skills.

“We’re really positive and we know how to pep each other up and be positive,” said senior middle hitter Keely Thomson. “We work together really well.”

The Lady Knights gather for a last huddle before starting their first match against the Huntington Highlanders.

Helping to keep the Lady Knights in good spirits was the Midland student section, whose cheering could be heard echoing throughout the gymnasium. This support, said junior outside hitter Cailyn Hall, makes a big difference with how they play.

“Our school has never really cheered for volleyball,” Hall said.

“No one has really came to our game to support us so it’s awesome to have people out. It helps us out

a lot because it gives us a lot more confidence knowing that the school is behind us.”

Cabell Midland, who is ranked second in the region behind Spring Valley, must win one more game in their tournament to get into Region 4 finals this Saturday in Winfield.

The team said their goal is to not only get to states, but to win.

“We’re going to train harder,” said senior libero Madison Gilson.

“We’re just going to practice really
