Milton ready to implement Home Rule By AmandaSmythe rs amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The City of Milton was chosen as one of 16 cities across the state to institute its own home rule, a program the state created to allow cities to be more innovative with their tax structures and administrative policies. “I’m tickled to death over this,” said Milton Mayor Tom Canterbury. “I’m so excited about this. It’s really going to help the town.” The Home Rule will allow the city to do three things: institute an across the board sales tax of 1 percent, reduce or eliminate some sections of the B&O tax and change the way the city sells municipal property. “It’s more of a game-leveling plan,” Canterbury said. “It makes the city more flexible.” According the city’s application, levying a 1 percent sales and use tax and reducing or eliminating parts of the business and occupation tax would result in net increase to the city budget of about $179,000 per year. The additional revenue would be earmarked for infrastructure improvements and law enforcement activities.

Reid-Smith links Arts & Ed By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com Although West Virginia Division of Culture and History Commissioner Randall ReidSmith spends his days traveling the state and encouraging the overlap of the arts and education, his heart belongs to the Village of Barboursville and Cabell Midland High School. A graduate of the former Barboursville High School, Reid-Smith lived in the village until he moved to Cincinnati for college. No matter where he goes, Reid-Smith always considers Cabell County to be his true home. “It was great,” he said. “I grew up right in the village. I went to all three Barboursville schools. My entire family went to Barboursville High School except my nieces who went to Cabell Midland. It was just a great place to grow up.” After an illustrious singing career which kept him away from home for 39 years, ReidSmith now spends as much time as possible, personally and professionally, to ensure Cabell Midland, as well as other high schools around the state, are richly rooted in arts education. He also wants schools to receive as many opportunities as possible, regardless of socioeconomic status, he said. “I just believe the arts is such a community involved thing that you want to include your community,” he said. “I had so many people who helped me along the way that you just naturally want to give back. And for me it’s all about kids - it’s all about students and making sure that we create future audiences.” West Virginia Division of Culture and History Commissioner Randall ReidSee Reid-Smith, Page 4 Smith spends much of his time ensuring arts is taught in schools.

Wicked Wordsmiths publishes anthology of scary stories By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The Wicked Wordsmiths of the West, a writers group seeking to encourage the craft of fiction writing in Cabell County and the tri-state area, has self-published an anthology of scary stories. The anthology enables many new authors to see their name in print for the first time. “I can’t even begin to describe how amazing it feels,” said Ju-

lianne Tillis, whose short story “Flesh and Blood” is her first story to be published. Tillis is also the president of the group. “I am so proud of this group and all that they’ve achieved and I’m looking forward to doing more,” she said. “Hopefully we can get a few more anthologies out.” The book, entitled “Wicked Words: A Collection of Spooky Stories by Members of the Wicked

Wordsmiths of the West,” is currently available on Amazon. It features short stories from 12 local authors, some of who were challenged to write for the horror genre for the first time. “There’s some really great stories in there,” said Olivia FerSee Wordsmiths, Page 4 The Wicked Wordsmiths of the West, a local writers group, has self-published an anthology of scary stories.

Home Rule From Page 1 The tax itself would generate about $254,481.57, while the B&O reductions would amount to $75,363.75, for a net increase to the city of $179,117.82. The proposed B&O reductions consist of: * Eliminating the tax on mineral products such as coal, sand and gravel. * Eliminating the tax on natural gas extraction. * Eliminating the tax on limestone, sandstone, timber and other natural resources. * Eliminating the amusement tax. * Reducing the tax on retail sales from 0.27 percent to 0.24 percent. * Reducing the tax on contracting services from 1 percent to 0.5 percent. * Reducing the tax on business services form 0.3 percent to 0.15 percent. “We lowered some of the B&O and some we did away with,” Canterbury said. “We added the 1 percent sales tax – what that is is one cent on the dollar. It’s just better all the way around. It’s not up to one person to pay for it, it’s up to everybody.” Canterbury said the new revenue would support the public works department and the police department while allowing the city to do away with B.A.D. houses, or houses that are blight, abandoned or dilapidated. “We’re going to put the biggest part of ours toward our streets,” he said. “This allows us to really benefit the city. But in the next six months, you’ll probably see nothing. This is not going to happen

overnight.” Canterbury said the city council must schedule both public hearings and ordinance readings before the plan can take effect, after which the state, which will take 5 percent of all money earned for administrative costs, will still need to set up the implementation of the sales tax on Milton’s behalf. Realistically, he said he hopes everything will be in place and collecting by July 1, 2015. “By golly, we earned this,” Canterbury said. “We had an excellent presentation. In a few months it will be great.” In addition to the sales tax, Milton’s home rule will allow the city to be selective on who buys municipal property. Whereas the city currently must sell all property at an auction, the city will now be able to sell property at a market price to the buyer it chooses. “This way, it allows us to sell it at a fair market price,” he said. “It frees up everything where it doesn’t take forever to get things done.” Canterbury said the citizens of Milton will be seeing the advantages of the program as soon as he can get it implemented. “They will have better streets and sidewalks,” he said. “They will have better streets to drive on and better sidewalks to walk on. They’ll see progress sooner. The next few years are going to put Milton on the map. We’re already on the map, but this is going to be bigger.” The required public hearings have not yet been scheduled. Visit www.cityofmiltonwv.com for more information.

Capito, Tennant clash over coal, financial issues By Pamela Pritt The Register-Herald

number of workers in the industry. •••

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The U.S. Senate debate between Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., and Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, the Democratic challenger, was predictably personal, as the two candidates faced off here Tuesday night. On topics ranging from coal to the financial crisis, and from climate change to gun control as well as the minimum wage, the candidates sparred over the issues — much like their political advertising — consistently attacking each other on their respective records. Tennant said she supports the coal industry, noting that she has asked President Barack Obama to use $8 billion already in the Department of Energy budget to retrofit coal power plants for carbon capture and storage which, she said, would create jobs. Capito countered that the president’s policies are “out to destroy us” and the state’s coal jobs. The congresswoman said salaries in the state are “going down” because of those policies. “These last six years we’ve been devastated,” she said. Tennant said her opponent has been in Congress for 14 years, voting against the interests of coal miners. “She voted against coal mine safety,” Tennant said. “She voted to cut funding (for) black lung benefits.” Capito said that was not true. In a heated back-and-forth, Tennant said Capito “broke the trust of West Virginians” by making money during the financial crisis because she had access to inside information “regular West Virginians didn’t have.” The secretary also said Capito had voted to give Wall Street executives bonuses after they had been responsible for the economic collapse in 2007. Capito called the statement a “personal attack that was unfounded, untrue and undocumented,” calling the accusation a desperate attack. The congresswoman said she does support state banks and credit unions, voting no twice for bonuses for executives; however, she said a bill she did vote for was not just for executive bonuses, but was instead “broad-based” and applied to a

On the topic of climate change, Tennant said she didn’t believe “we need to choose between clean air and clean coal” and that she does not disagree with scientists who warn about the issue. Capito said she didn’t think the climate is “necessarily changing,” but said we have to find a balance between protecting the economy and the environment. ••• Both women said they support the 2nd Amendment, which grants citizens the right to bear arms. Capito said she believes the mental health system has “failed us,” and that she has worked to make sure that those who shouldn’t have access to firearms don’t get them; however, she said she opposed Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., and his bill that would have expanded background checks. Tennant said she had also opposed Manchin’s efforts to expand background checks because “West Virginians should be making the choice.” “We need to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists and those with mental health (issues,)” Tennant said.

Capito is a seven-term congresswoman and Tennant is West Virginia’s secretary of state. They are seeking retiring U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller’s seat. Photo by Lawrence Pierce of The Charleston Gazette House of Representatives. “We must secure the borders,” Tennant said. She said she also supported making those who are already in the country “learn English and pay taxes.” •••

In the end, it came down to the recent Supreme Court decision not to take up the issue of same sex marriage, essentially meaning those marriages can be sanctioned ••• by states. Both candidates said they op“West Virginians deserve a pay posed same sex marriage, but raise, too,” Tennant said, noting would abide by the court’s decithat she supports a higher minimum sion. wage. Capito said she supported increased wages for the country’s lowest wage earners in 2007, but now wants to debate the issue. “I believe we need to look at the ramifications of raising the minimum wage,” she said. ••• The candidates did agree somewhat on immigration. Capito said she did not support amnesty for undocumented workers, and that children from Central America who are crossing the Texas border need to be reunited with their families. While Tennant agreed, she said a bipartisan bill that had been crafted in the Democrat-held U.S. Senate was held up in the Republican

“I want to be treated equally and fairly,” Tennant said. She said she supported equality and people being equal under the law, but would not be in favor of forcing a church to go against its doctrines. “Marriage is between a man and a woman,” Capito said. “I will abide by what the state says in this matter.” The debate was closed to alternative candidates Phil Hudok of the Constitution Party, J.E. Buckley of the Libertarian Party and Bob Henry Baber of the Mountain Party. West Virginia Press Association Executive Director Don Smith said the organizers of the event set a standard for participation that said

other party candidates “must have received at least five percent of the votes in the last general election, if the party ran a candidate.” “That is a national standard used by AARP, a co-sponsor of the event, and was adopted by the organizers,” Smith said. “We hope this standard gives supporters of all political parties another rallying point this election.” Smith said the standard would be in place for future events, as well. West Virginia Public Broadcasting held a debate for the candidates who were not allowed in the sponsored debated.

Wordsmiths From Page 1 guson, a local paranormal romance author who contributed two scary stories to the anthology. “It’s really great to have the support of the other writers. It’s inspiring. We all get together, we all have a good time. We keep it fun.” The anthology contributors were allowed to submit any story as long as it fell in the horror genre. This, said contributing author Jon Cook, a fantasy writer from Chesapeake, Ohio, created a book with a unique feeling. “I think the reader of this anthology will get to enjoy so many different facets of all of our personalities,” Cook said. “It’s a very enjoyable anthology to see what we’re all about.” The authors joined together for a book signing at Empire News and Books in Huntington, quickly selling out of the 45 copies on hand. “I feel like it was really successful,” Tillis said. “It was more than we expected.” The line of patrons seeking autographs continued for the majority of the scheduled appearance, allowing authors to take time to speak with each patron individually. “It was fun to actually meet people reading and buying the book,” Cook said. “I was glad to see some people that I didn’t know and I think there were some people that nobody knew. It was exciting.” The group, known as “W3” for short, first began as an outlet of inspiration for local authors participating in National Novel Writing Month, an international initiative to help beginning authors write the first 50,000 words of their novel in 30 days. After November came to a close, the group, now numbering over 20 members, decided to begin meeting every month. Two years later, W3 meets once per month for business and on a consistent basis for social gatherings. “Three years ago, the only thing this group knew about each other was that they all wanted to complete a novel in the span of 30 days,” Tillis said. “In that month, the bonds we made led us to create a group for local writers wanting

to improve their skills and meet regularly to discuss our work.” As president, Tillis assigns mini-writing projects to the members each month in the form of short, 500 word prompts. This, she said, helps writers “flex” their fiction writing muscles, allowing them to try new techniques while continuing their own works in progress. “At our meetings we cover a variety of topics, everything from outlining to editing to publishing,” Tillis said. “The activities and prompts we do keep our writers in practice and compel them to consider their writing from a new angle. The meetings are also a constructive environment where writers can seek opinions, critiques, or use each other as sounding boards for new ideas.” W3 members pride themselves on being all-inclusive, including members as young as 14 to those over 50. Cook, who serves as elected vice president, said any writer can benefit from a couple of meetings. “I think a group like this is extremely important,” Cook said. “I’ve seen people write more and write better because of this group. I think it’s there to make people better writers and also just to get people thinking they can write a story, that they can create something that will endure.” With less than a month before this year’s National Novel Writing Month, Wicked Wordsmiths of the West is gearing up for their largest participation yet. “Where our number of participants consistently doubles every year, we’ve added more in-person events and write-in locations so that every participant has more opportunities for a great NaNo experience beyond just participating online,” Tillis said. “These writeins foster a sense of motivation that keeps our participants moving forward on their novels.” Those interested in participating in National Novel Writing Month can sign up for free at nanowrimo. org.

Reid-Smith From Page 1 Cabell County Superintendent Bill Smith said Cabell students would not have the same opportunities if it wasn’t for the work of Reid-Smith. “When you do things for kids and you have someone who really cares about kids, it’s amazing what can be done,” Smith said. “He’s extremely energetic. He’s an excellent role model – kids need to see that giving back. I don’t think you’ll find a better proponent for the arts than him.” Reid-Smith began in performing arts at the age of four when his mother took him to sing at church every week. As he grew up he expanded his influence, playing saxophone in middle school before returning to voice in high school. From there, he received a bachelor’s in music from the University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. After a brief stint of private study in New York he received a master’s in music from Indiana University after which his performing career took flight. “I went from there to spend 14 years in Europe, but I always wanted to come home,” he said. “If you grow up in West Virginia you always want to get out, and if you get out, you always want to come back. It took me 29 years, but I got back.” After returning back to the United States in 1999, a chance meeting with Gayle and U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin secured his fate with the Division of Culture and History. Sen. Manchin promised to bring Reid-Smith back home to West Virginia as soon as possible. “I’m in my ninth year,” he said with a smile. “It’s great to be home. The Division of Culture and History is very interesting. They combined four old departments that answer directly to the Governor - the archives, the arts section, historic preservation and the museum, and they have one commissioner. “I really believe I’m the first commissioner to work all four areas equally.” Reid-Smith said he received harsh criticism when he took the job, most citing his experience was not adequate to be in charge of departments outside performing arts. This, he said, inspired him to

learn everything he could about the other departments, relying on a staff filled with field experts. “I built up the museum,” he said, adding that the museum is one of his favorite projects to date. “I learned historic preservation because I’m the state historic preservation officer by statute and I listened to the people who are on staff with me because they are the experts. I learn everyday.” Initially focusing on older adult audiences, Reid-Smith quickly changed direction to focus on arts in schools, a plan, he said, to inspire a future generation of art consumers. “My first five years, I increased the arts budget by 47 percent and the historic preservation budget by 31 percent because it was important to the governor and it was important to the legislature,” he said. “They never say no. It’s what people want - it’s what people believe in.” While states around the country have gained national attention for steadily cutting their arts programs, Reid-Smith has ensured the opposite. He credits the art-loving residents of West Virginia for the continued support. “What makes me the most proud is that I have an opportunity in this state to do what I’ve been able to do and that this state has this opportunity when other states don’t,” he said. “Its important to them. It’s vital to the growth of your community to sustain that growth, to attract people, to attract businesses. “People looking to start a business, people looking for an area to move to, look for communities like Cabell County which has a symphony, which has a museum, which has a high school that is richly embedded in the arts.” Reid-Smith said Cabell County’s superintendent is a unique advantage to the county, who, he said, is always willing to try new ways to support arts programs in education. “He is the best,” Reid-Smith said. “All I have to do is call Bill Smith and it is taken care of. He shows up for everything that I do. When we gave the instruments at Milton he told those kids that this was so important because when he was growing up, he didn’t have the

opportunity to play an instrument even though he always wanted to because financially, his parents couldn’t afford it. “So people who come up that way, they’re the first ones out there to ring the bell to get people to come out and do it. I like him very much.” From the statewide band invitational, to the expansion of the Golden Horseshow contest and creation of the quiz bowl, to his personal volunteering at Cabell Midland High School, perhaps no other program has so deeply touched Cabell County as the free instrument program. It is sponsored by VH1 and receives attention from national news. “I’m so glad I hoodooed them into coming here and funding the entire state,” he said with a laugh. “They had never done that before.” Reid-Smith said VH1 almost didn’t provide any funding, as West Virginia was ahead of the game compared to other states which previously received funding. But Reid-Smith, as his reputation foretells, refused to take no for an answer. “They had to get back to the airport to leave to go back to where they were going, and they were getting a little bit anxious,” he said, reminiscing. “And I kept saying ‘you should consider doing this. I’ll help you, what do we have to do?’ “They said ‘we can talk about this on the way back to Charleston,’ and I said ‘ as soon as you fund this, I’ll take you back to Charleston. If not, you better start walking.’ Now, every year they come two to three times.” Although Reid-Smith doesn’t know what his future holds for him, he said he will always be a champion for both the arts and the state of West Virginia. “My community is the entire state,” he said. “We’re the creative side of Wild and Wonderful. I think we do great work. I don’t even want to say good – I think we do exceptional, great work. “My mother always taught me it’s not important where you’re sitting in life, it’s important what direction your going in and I always have direction. I always have something to do.”

Also in this mass was Kendell McNeely (23:49.51) and Bethany Harshbarger (23:52.52) who finished in 44th and 46th.

Lady Knights defeat St. Joseph for a winning season By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

The Midland girls soccer team ended the first half of its game against St. Joseph Central down 1-0, but a motivational speech from head coach Andy Wilson set them on the path to a 3-1 victory. Second half stats for the Lady Knights soared, especially off the foot of Rachel Morgan who earned a hat trick by scoring all three of Midland’s goals. “I think in the first half every one did poorly, but we did better after I scored that goal,” Morgan said. “I think it gave us a little ‘oomph’.” The first goal for Cabell Midland did not occur until 12:47 into the second half when Morgan tied the score at 1-1. After that, the rest of her teammates followed her, playing the ball aggressively and not giving up a touch. Midland’s sophomore Cintry Johnson lurched out in front of the Irish defenders to gain possession of the ball and pass to her forward teammates, adding to the attack that led to Morgan’s three goals. “Even though I was not getting the right touches on the ball at first, I got out there in the second half and worked harder,” Johnson said. With 3:14 left in the game Johnson raced an Irish to the outside of the field for the ball and the two collided, sending the St. Joseph player to the turf. Johnson was given a yellow card and sat out the rest of the game.

“I was going for the ball and I wasn’t trying to injure anybody,” she said. “I just get caught up in the play of the game and hit people a little harder than I mean to.” Midland’s Sophia Anton also played a strong second half, putting on speed and rushing the net several times. Despite all of her shots being blocked by the Irish keeper, Anton’s attack wore down the defense. This maneuver allowed for a goal from Morgan which came off a header into the net off of a corner kick. “The second half was a lot better,” Anton said. “I could have played a little better in both halves and kept the touches closer to me. I was happy to see Rachel’s header. It was pretty great.” Midland senior Heather Barker was able to end her final season with the Lady Knights on a high note, knowing that for the first time in her high school soccer career she was part of a winning team. “We have a winning season and that’s the first time since I’ve been here,” Barker said. “It’s just really awesome. It was my goal from the beginning of the season to do that. I’ve been more aggressive in the past, but sectionals are coming up and I think we’ll do decent.” Wilson said he was excited for his team and happy to see them come out in the second half the way they did. “I’m glad both seniors got to play in the second half,” Wilson said. “They both put four years

Cabell Midland’s Cintry Johnson used her ball handling skills to help the Lady Knights defeat St. Joseph Central. Teammate Heather Barker (15) was excited about the win and going in to sectional play. File photos in and it was a long road to get to where we are to have a winning season. I’m proud of them.” Morgan’s goals came at 12:47; 22:02 off of the corner kick; and 27:12 left in the second half. Her hat trick goal was the most impressive, foiling three defenders’ rushes and walking the ball right to the back of the net as the keeper missed the dive for the save. Sectional play started on Tuesday, Oct. 21 with the Lady Knights at Spring Valley.

Jewish community celebrates fall holidays By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

As the rest of Cabell County has been preparing for Halloween, the Jewish community centered in Huntington has been celebrating their busiest time of the year with three straight weeks of fall holidays this September and October. Starting with Rosh Hashanah, or the Jewish New Year at the end of September, the Jewish fall holiday season finally came to a close with Simchat Torah last week, a celebration of the Torah, or the Old Testament, that is read in part every week. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Simchat Torah is that whole idea of rejoicing in Torah, this ancient text that is still alive because Jews have always looked at the ancient words and figured out how to take them into their own lives,â&#x20AC;? said Rabbi Jean Eglinton, of Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;nai Sholom Congregation in Huntington. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an ancient text that has remained alive for people living their lives in connection with those stories.â&#x20AC;? The Simchat Torah service, which took place on a Wednesday night, was brought to life with a handful of horn players from the congregation playing along as the temple choir sang. The music, the Rabbi said, was to express the joy of the occasion. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supposed to be joyous,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be dancing with the Torah. The more music, the more people are going to feel like dancing.â&#x20AC;? Simchat Torah is a happy holiday, which 16-year-old William Beverage, of Ona, said he enjoys after the more serious holidays early in the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just had Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur which is the Jewish New Year and where we are absolved of all our sins,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a total of 10 days where weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being judged. Today, basically all we were doing is starting

the Torah over. We have this tradition where we read the end of one and start another one.â&#x20AC;? Every Friday at services, Jewish congregations read a piece of the Torah, or â&#x20AC;&#x153;parshaâ&#x20AC;? in Hebrew. At Simchat Torah, the very last portion is read, meaning that the congregation has made it all the way through the scroll during the year. At the same time, however, the Jewish community is celebrating Sukkot, a holiday Eglinton said has both religious and social implications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sukkot is joyful because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outside but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connected to this concern about people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have what we have and the realization that at anytime, all that we have could be gone,â&#x20AC;? she said. Sukkot, she said, is celebrated by the creation of a Sukkah, or a hut, outside, which is then used as the dining room or often a bedroom for communities in warmer climates. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a symbol of fragility, both of our housing and the fragility of life,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And of the people in town who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a place or any solid roof over their head. Or people who are food insecure and never know where their next meal is coming from.â&#x20AC;? This, said the Rabbi, is why Huntingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Jewish community, the only Jewish community for 50 miles, spent the fall season collecting food for Huntingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food pantry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In the spring we had the 50 days from Passover to Shavuot, which is the anniversary of receiving the 10 commandments from Sinai, and in that 50 days we raised money for the food bank,â&#x20AC;? she said, adding that the donations totaled $2,500. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I thought in the fall, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have the 50 days from preparing for Rosh Hashanah through the New Year to Simchat Torah and we would just collect cases of food.â&#x20AC;? Eglinton said the idea of helping others is intrinsic in all teaching of

Judaism, making the food drive a perfect fit for this congregation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The idea of repairing the world is huge in Judaism,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The whole reason that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re here is to make the world a better place than before we were here. So this Tikkun Olam, this repairing of the world, is the meaning of life.â&#x20AC;? Immediately after the food donation drive is over, the Huntington Jewish community will begin taking donations for a Thanksgiving basket drive, a long-standing tradition of the Huntington synagogue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For 50 years, Hermann [Glaser] has been doing this thanksgiving basket project,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It started out with 50 baskets to give to people who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have food for Thanksgiving and I think this year itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to be 200. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that a lot of people donate money for and then a few people go and buy all the stuff, and then tons of people show up that day.â&#x20AC;? She said Bâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;nai Sholom is unique in that the members run a lot of projects without the help of the Rabbi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That kind of thing is really nice,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People tend to do things without making the rabbi be part of everything.â&#x20AC;? More than anything, however, Eglinton said the Huntington Jewish community is among the friendliest she has ever been. â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Virginians in general, I have found, are absolutely more friendly than anywhere I have ever been and that holds true in the synagogue, too,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the huge wonderful thing about this place â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how welcoming everybody is. Not only to each other but to anybody who walks in the door, whether theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just curious or theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re Jewish and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re traveling through.â&#x20AC;? This sense of friendliness has spread to younger members, too, as even 11-year-old Seth Glazer said he enjoyed spending time with the congregants.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what it means to be Jewish is being a good person and attending services and just being nice to everyone,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favorite part about coming to temple is seeing my family and friends and having a good time.â&#x20AC;? Beverage, who finished his religious school learning three years ago after his Bar Mitzvah, said he continues to attend because of the friends heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s acquired in the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a lot of friends in the Jewish community,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I appreciate most.â&#x20AC;? Whether someone is Jewish or not, Rabbi Eglinton said all are welcome to drop into the synagogue at the intersection of Tenth Ave. and Tenth. St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For everybody Jewish in the area, we try to be a place where their Judaism can grow and become more interesting,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But this is something people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always know about Jewish places: that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to be

William Beverage, 16, and a member of the Marching Knights, could be heard around the synagogue as he blasted notes out on his tuba in honor of Simchat Torah. Jewish to come. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re welcome to come to service whether your Jewish or not or just curious.â&#x20AC;? For more information visit wvbnaisholom.org.

Christian’s Sports Beat: A great season for football Every Friday night across the state of West Virginia, thousands of fans go to support their local high school football team. After each game many of those fans get a chance to get all of the scores from games across the state and listen to Fred Persinger, the voice of high school sports in West Virginia. Persinger along with Dave Jecklin are the hosts of West Virginia Metro Sports’ Game Night program every Friday night from 9:30 p.m. to midnight. The high school football season has been an exciting one so far this season. “Right now the teams we thought would be near the top are there,” Persinger said. “I haven’t seen too many surprises, maybe some of the scores but that’s about

It’s halfway through the 2014 season and this is when fans start getting excited the upcoming playoffs and if their team is going make it or not. I asked Persinger what he is forecasting for the rest of the season. “In Class AAA I think you are going to see the teams that have hovered near the top so far, Capital, Cabell Midland, Point Pleasant will stay there and I still think defending champ Martinsburg is going to be there at the end,” he said. “In Class AA, Bluefield, Wayne, Scott, Bridgeport, Ravenswood, Frankfort will all be near the top when the season is over with.

By: Christian Deiss

“I mean there is not anyone in the state that can have a complete team on offense and a complete team on defense, like Cabell Midland does and it makes a big difference in every game. He has the players and they know how to play.” In Putnam and Cabell counties, high school football fans are lucky to be able to watch strong rivalries unfold every season. Persinger explained to me how important the rivalries in the two counties are to the fans. “It’s great for the areas,” he said. “Take for instance Cabell Midland and Huntington. Those two teams not only know each other on the field, but they see each other off the field and you know they want to win. I think high school rivalries, whether it’s high school football,

basketball or whatever the game are great and fans in Putnam and Cabell are blessed with some really good ones.” Persinger understands the rivalries up close and personal since he lives in Hurricane. This season I have been reporting for Persinger on Game Night from various contests. You can listen to Game Night on 41 stations around the state or go to www. wvmetronews.com to find out how your favorite high school team did any Friday night.
