Cabell County Sheriff’s Office continues pre-Easter Tradition By Trudy Black trudyblack@thecabellstandard.com
Last Wednesday, April 4th, turned out to be the perfect day for Ona Elementary students (Pre-K thru 2nd grade) to go hunting for Easter eggs at the Cabell County Sheriff ’s Field Office on Howell’s Mill Road, Ona. The weather was warm and sunny. The eggs were filled with candy. And the children were prepared to go a-hunting! Approximately 200 students, along with some siblings and a few guests, searched for the 850 brightlycolored, candy-filled eggs that had been scattered over the grounds. Some eggs were easier to find (for the littlest of hunters) and some eggs were hidden well enough that the more experienced hunters had to ‘work’ a little harder for their reward. Many Deputies were on-

thing of the past. Over the field and around the bushes… children squealed with laugh-

Cabell Midland High School Freshman Academy hosts Third Annual Roller Coaster Wars The Cabell Midland High School Order of the Knights Freshman Academy Physical Science students began the Third Annual Roller Coaster Wars on March 30, 2012. The project ran through April 4, 2012 led by science teachers Tiffany Rawson, Tyler Ellis, Julie Byers, and Bekka Atkins. Coaster construction occurred in the Cabell Midland High School auxiliary gym. To complete the project, students were placed in groups to build their own themed roller coasters. They used foam tubing to create a track of two hills and a
loop and used a marble for their car. Students were encouraged to bring additional materials to build and decorate their coasters for their chosen theme. Students must know and understand potential and kinetic energy, momentum, velocity, and acceleration to compete against their peers. Throughout the week they collected and graphed data as they completed test runs on their coasters in preparation for the actual competition at the end of the week. SEE ACADEMY ON PAGE 3

County Clerks resolving Ballot Error made by Office of Secretary of State Last week’s discover y of a ballot error made by the Office of the Secretary of State has added to the already busy election schedule in County Clerks’ offices around the State. The West Virginia County Clerks’ Association is diligently resolving the error attributed to the Office of the Secretary of State’s failure to catch an incorrect instruction to voters regarding the number of Republican delegates to the national convention. County Clerks are working to ensure voters that the
error will be corrected within the parameters of the law. The error is found in the instructions to the voter on the Republican primar y ballots which incorrectly instruct the voter to choose 18 delegates to the Republican National Convention when the actual number is 19 delegates. The Secretar y of State’s office became aware of the error after primar y ballots had been printed and some absentee ballots already mailed. The law already contemplates the finding of errors

and provides for correction through the counties’ Ballot Commissions. If a county’s Ballot Commissioners find or are made aware of an error they may have the ballots reprinted or require that a sticker be placed over the error, taking care to cover the entire error without covering any other portion of the ballot. The Ballot Commissioners are given no other option under West Virginia law. The County Clerks are working with their Ballot Commissioners and the Secretary of State’s office to accommodate all types of voting systems and to meet statutor y deadlines for mailing of absentee ballots
and Federal Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Voters’ requirements. The original order from the Secretar y of State’s office required an addendum to the ballot instruction to correct the error. “This separate card or addendum of instructions is not one of the options given to our Ballot Commissioners and we felt it was important to strictly interpret and adhere to State law in order to maintain the integrity of the ballot and election process. We appreciate that the Secretar y of State came to agreement with us and rescinded her original order,” explained Diana Cromley,
Mason County Clerk and President of the West Virginia County Clerks’ Association. The Secretary of State’s office will absorb all costs that counties incur to correct the error, including reprint of ballots, reprogramming of electronic voting systems, supply costs, and overtime of County Clerks’ staff if incurred, which could be significant. “Ballot Commissions in ever y county will be holding emergency meetings within the next few days to declare a finding of an error and approve a resolution,” noted Clerk Cromley.

WV Humanities Council Announces Education Initiative CHARLESTON, WV – The West Virginia Humanities Council announces a national initiative to promote the teaching of the humanities in America’s community colleges. The National Endowment for the Humanities recently awarded a $360,000 grant to the Community College Humanities Association for the nationwide effort to strengthen humanities course content. The project, titled “Advancing the Humanities at Community Colleges,” will provide 18 community colleges with the opportunity to enhance hu-
manities offerings on their own campuses. The colleges will be chosen on a competitive basis. The West Virginia Humanities Council endorses this important effort and is collaborating with the Community College Humanities Association to alert West Virginia community and technical colleges to this opportunity. The competitively selected community colleges will receive curriculum and faculty development services and benefits. Applications for the competition are due April 25. Interested
applicants may contact David A. Berry at the Community College Humanities Association, c/o Essex County College, 303 University Avenue, Newark, NJ 07102, and (973)873-3577 or via email at berry@essex.edu for more information.

National report finds Cabell one of State's most unhealthy Counties By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
Cabell County has been ranked as one of the 10 most unhealthy counties in the state of West Virginia in a report released last week that measures the health of every county in the nation. Cabell County was ranked as the 46th healthiest county out of the 55 counties in West Virginia in the rankings published by the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF). The rankings assess the overall health of every county in all 50 states, using a standard way to measure how healthy people are and
how long they live. The rankings consider factors that affect people’s health within four categories: health behavior, clinical care, social and economic factors, and physical environment. Among other things, the rankings look at factors such as smoking, drinking and obesity, as well as social and economic factors such as unemployment. Cabell County fared worse than national averages in most categories, and worse than the state average in many as well. For the number of adults who smoke, the national average is 14 percent, but in Cabell County 25 percent of adults smoke. Likewise, 25 percent of adults nationwide
are considered obese according to the report, but in Cabell County 33 percent of adults are obese. The percentage of low birth-weight babies was also higher in Cabell County than the national average at 11.3 percent in Cabell County compared to 6 percent nationwide. In social and economic factors, Cabell County was also lower than national averages in many key categories. Nationwide, 68 percent of people report having some college education, while in Cabell County 59 percent report having some college education. In Cabell County, 71 percent of adults are high school graduates, while throughout
the state of West Virginia 77 percent are high school graduates. Also, according to the report, in Cabell County 35 percent of children live in poverty, while statewide 26 percent of children live in poverty. Likewise, 35 percent of children in Cabell County live in single parent households while statewide 29 percent of children do. Overall, Pendleton, Monongalia, Tucker, Wirt and Jefferson were listed by the report as the five healthiest counties in West Virginia. On the other end of the spectrum, Boone, Logan, Wyoming, Mingo and McDowell were listed as the five least healthy counties in the state. “The County Health Rank-
ings show us that much of what influences our health happens outside of the doctor’s office. In fact, where we live, learn, work and play has a big role in determining how healthy we are and how long we live,” said Risa LavizzoMourey, M.D., M.B.A., president and CEO of RWJF. “The good news is that businesses, health care providers, government, consumers and community leaders are already joining forces in communities across the nation to change some of the gaps that the Rankings highlight.” For more information, visit www.countyhealthrankings.o rg.

It's Poison Ivy Time Again
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
Most hard-hit are the shore anglers, as poison ivy grows thickly on river and stream banks. I've fished a lot of water in my day and the worst infestation I have ever seen is on the banks of my native Elk River. It's not just us modern outdoors folks that suffer from it. It was a problem that sometimes plagued the Indians, mountain men and especially the earliest explorers who had no clue what it was.
The earliest case of poison ivy I know of was that of John Smith, who founded the first English colony in America at Jamestown in 1607. Poison ivy isn't found in Europe, so when John Smith ran across it for the first time, the poor man had no idea what he was in for. He had only been in the New World for a couple of years when he noticed a beautiful vine that reminded him of home. “Hey, this looks like English ivy,” Smith thought. Only it wasn't English ivy, it was something far more sinister. He touched it, held it, examined it and learned one of many harsh lessons about life in the Americas. Like Smith, many who came to America had no idea what poison ivy was, but that tormenting itch made them quick learners. Poison ivy grows at elevations less than 4,000 feet all over North America. It's found in all the states, except for Alaska, Nevada and Hawaii. The plants contain urushoil oil, which is the nastiest stuff ever conceived by the almighty. If you bruise a leaf or cut a vine, you can actually see
the oil leaking out. It only takes a trace amount, about a billionth of a gram of this virulent oil to make you itch for weeks. At first, it's like any other oil and will wash away easily. If you are exposed, and wash immediately, you'll probably be fine. However, leave that oil on the skin for a few minutes and it's a different matter entirely. The oil bonds to the skin like glue after a few minutes and won't wash off. It seeps down into the skin and causes a nasty, nasty rash. If you burn it, the smoke can damage your lungs. Luckily, if you pay attention, it's easy to spot. It usually grows as a vine, but can grow as a shrub. The only similar plant I can think of is the harmless Virginia creeper, whose leaves are arranged in groups of five. If you remember “leaves of three, leave it be,” you'll quickly identify poison ivy. When I have trouble with poison ivy is usually when it’s growing inside a wild raspberry bush. I don't think I've ever had a wild-raspberry picking season where I didn't develop a case of poison ivy rash several times. It will also stick to your clothing and
may not wash out. I was taking a photograph on a riverbank once for a newspaper I used to work for. I leaned against a tree for about 20 minutes to get my shot. While I couldn't see any poison ivy leaves, there was a vine growing up the tree and as I leaned against it, the oil seeped out of the trunk of the vine and into my shirt. I had a nasty rash on my back, not for weeks, but for months. It took me that long to figure out what was happening, the poison ivy oil remained in that shirt even after it had been through the wash several times. Once I realized what had happened, I washed the shirt in hot water several times and that took care of the problem. * I heard this one a while back: Joe pulls his boat on shore in Charleston after a week's float trip down the Elk River. He has no money, but walks in a restaurant anyway to get something to eat. “If I show you two things you have never seen,” he says to the owner, “can I have a hamburger and a Coke?” “Absolutely not,” the owner says. Joe pulls a live walleye from his
cooler and hands it a harmonica. It plays a stunning rendition of “Those West Virginia Hills.” A businessman sitting at the next table offers Joe $300 for the walleye. He refuses. “Now, watch this,” Joe says. He takes a bluegill from the cooler and it sings a rendition of “Country Roads” so beautiful, the entire restaurant breaks into tears. The businessman offers Joe $500 for the bluegill. Joe takes the money and the businessman runs out with his fish. “Are you nuts?” the restaurant owner asks. “You just sold a singing bluegill for only $500.” “Naw,” Joe says. “The walleye is a ventriloquist.” * We are looking for advertisers who would like to be part of our new Outdoors page and keep it going strong.

The rich cultural history of the 30.06 By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
The vast majority of American hunters who have hunted with a highpowered rifle, shot a 30.06 at some point or another. So ingrained is that round in our American firearms culture that anyone pronouncing its name in any way other than “thirty aught six” in a hunting camp is instantly branded a greenhorn. The 30.06 has become an American hunting icon, not because it has some vast superiority to other rounds - many rounds have similar ballistics. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, most countries were adopting the spitzer (from the German word for “pointy”) bullet around 8mm in size. American development of such a bullet came after the Spanish-American War, where the military was quick to notice that while it quickly overpowered the Spanish Army, Spanish soldiers' Mauser rifles were vastly superior. At the time, the military had been using the .30-40 Krag-Jorgensen rifle, the first bolt-action rifle adopted by the U.S. Military. A new rifle was designed based on the Spanish Mauser and a new car-
The 30.06 remains the round of choice for millions of hunters pursuing whitetail deer. Photo by Mark Shock, courtesy of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. tridge – similar to what the Mauser fired - was designed for it. The result was one of the finest bolt-action rifles ever made, the M1903 Springfield. The 30-caliber (basically 8mm) round it shot was introduced with the rifle in 1903, thus the round became known as the 30.03, “thirty aught three,” “thirty” for the caliber and “aught three” for the year it was adopted. The round was modified to shoot at greater distances. President Theodore Roosevelt gave the modification a nod of approval in 1906 and
thus the cartridge became known as the “thirty aught six.” The M1903 Springfield rifles were modified to accept it. American doughboys that fought in World War I were certainly familiar with the round, as they were armed with the Springfield. It was also fired in our machine guns. During World War II, it was fired in the American military's most iconic weapons, including the M1 Garand, Browning Automatic Rifle, M1919 machine gun and others. Just about everything we
had shot it. It would also see use in Korea even Vietnam. The fact that millions of soldiers, Marines and sailors used the 30.06 in combat is only one of many reasons the round had become so popular. The government's Civilian Marksmanship Program, created during Theodore Roosevelt's administration to encourage marksmanship skills (something that comes in handy when mobilizing for war), also familiarized numerous civilians with the round. One feature that has made it popular among hunters is that its recoil energy of around 20 foot pounds is at the upper limit of power that still provides a low-enough recoil that most hunters find acceptable. As the once extirpated white-tail deer was reintroduced in the first half of the 20th Century and deer populations had become strong enough to have limited deer hunting seasons in the late 1940s and 1950s, the 30.06 was a big enough round to do the job and, most importantly, it was very cheap. During the first half of 1945, the United States was preparing to invade Japan, which was expected to be the most horrific battle in the history of the world. The United States was
preparing to send millions to attack the Japanese home island and expected at least a million to be buried there. Those millions of soldiers and Marines would have needed tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions of 30.06 shells. However, Japan surrender after World War II became the world's only nuclear war. The war was finally over. Now the military had millions of 30.06 rounds with nobody to shoot them at. Many of those shells, as well as surplus from the Korean War, were sold cheaply to civilians. Surplus brass was sold to make lower-end commercial cartridges (that was especially true after the 30.06 was phased out in Vietnam). In addition to military-surplus rifles, commercial gun makers stepped up their production of rifles to shoot these cheap shells in. For hunters the shells were so cheap and firearms so plenty, the 30.06 was the perfect choice for hunting large game. Although the cartridges are no longer inexpensive, the 30.06 remains the hunting round of choice for millions of American hunters today. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.

The Greenhouse of Teays Valley to host dinner theater April 27-28 By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
TEAYS VALLEY – The Greenhouse of Teays Valley is bringing live dinner theater back to the area April 27-28. The Teays Valley restaurant and gift shop, located in the Mid Valley Square Shopping Plaza, in collaboration with Murder and Merriment, a professional acting troupe from Huntington, will be hosting “Marriage, Mob & Murder” Friday, April 27, and Saturday, April 28, beginning at 7 p.m. each night. Greenhouse owner Eric Reckard said that the show is a Romeo and
Juliet style murder mystery that tells the story of the daughter of Mob Boss "Bulldog" Balconi and the son of competing boss Sammy Stiletto who are getting married. Unfortunately, the groom-to-be's body is found in his car, riddled with bullets, on the way to the wedding. The two families then head to the wedding reception to make sense of the killing. The reception serves as the backdrop for the evening and those who attend the dinner play an active role in helping to solve the crime, Reckard said. Actors remain in character throughout the evening and interact with guests at the dinner. Those in at-
tendance are able to ask the characters questions, and the characters are not allowed to lie. However, they can be evasive in their answers, Reckard said. At the end of the evening, the audience will have the opportunity to help solve the mystery, and correct ballots will be entered into a drawing for a $50 Greenhouse gift card, he said. The menu for the evening, served buffet style, will include a fresh garden salad with choice of dressings, freshly baked Italian garlic bread or dinner rolls, cheese stuffed shells with choice of meat sauce or marinara sauce, seafood alfredo on penne
pasta, broccoli and other vegetables, and Italian Wedding cake. Tickets are $40 per person or $75 per couple, plus tax. Reckard said that the response from his regular patrons has been so strong that The Greenhouse is already planning a second live dinner theater event for May 18 and May 19, and has tentative plans for a third dinner theater event in June. Reckard said that the acting troop has about 20 different plays that it can perform so each engagement will feature a different experience for the audience. In addition to the restaurant, The Greenhouse also offers a variety of
items for sale in its gift shop. Weber Grills are offered at The Greenhouse, as are other unique and specialty items such as Trollbeads and items by local artists. The Greenhouse also offers a variety of classes, such as sushi making and grilling to name a few. The Greenhouse of Teays Valley is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday. For more information, call The Greenhouse at (304) 397-6316 or visit www.thegreenhouseinc.com. The Greenhouse of Teays Valley also has a Facebook page you can like to receive updates.

Candyland takes over Family Center gymnasium at Beulah Ann Baptist Church What did you do on the last day of March? In the Ona area many families went to the Beulah Ann Baptist Church where the gymnasium of the Family Center was set up as a full size “Candyland”. Families would gather in the Family Center Conference Room where the children could decorate a candy bag with stickers and markers. Then, at about 4 minute intervals, the families would be admitted to Candyland, where they could follow a dotted path to the many stations in the gym (A good selection of photos is posted on the Facebook page of Susan Caldwell McComas). At each station there would be an activity to participate in to learn a Bible principle, and receive a candy treat. There were plenty of jellybeans. One station featured a chocolate fountain for coating a marshmallow on a stick, another was a sundae factory. Beginning at 6 pm dozens of families participated. One of the last stations featured candy canes, where a poem was provided for each child: The Candy Cane Legend Look at the Candy Cane, What do you see? Stripes that are red, like the blood shed for me.
Oh what joy! A chocolate fountain for coating marshmallows
Recently, children of all ages visited Beulah Ann Baptist Church where they got to take a trip through Candyland.
White is for my Savior Who’s sinless and pure! “J” is for Jesus My Lord, that’s for sure! Turn it around and a staff you will see, Jesus my shepherd was born for me! The set-up process for Candyland took several days to complete, and judging from the excitement of the children and parents, it was worth it. Our thanks go to our Children’s Department leaders Mitzi Beckett, Brenda Meadows, Kara Litteral,
firmness of the promises of God. The candy maker made the candy in the form of a “J” to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the Good Shepherd with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who like sheep have gone astray. Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candy maker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes for the blood shed by Christ on the cross, so that we could have the promise
and the many volunteers who helped and staffed the stations. The True Story of the Candy Cane: A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy cane that would be a witness, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy, white to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the Foundation of the church and
of eternal life. Unfortunately, the candy became known as the Candy Cane. It became a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time. But the meaning is still there for all those who “Have eyes to see and ears to hear”. We pray that this symbol will again be used to witness to the wonder of Jesus and His great love that came down at Christmas. Article and photos supplied by James Morrison

VICKIE LYNN BARTRAM ADKINS Vickie Lynn Bartram Adkins, 56, of Huntington, W.Va., went to rest with the Lord and be reunited with her precious girl, on Sunday evening, March 25, 2012, at The Ohio State University Medical Center after complications following a bone marrow transplant. Funeral services were conducted Friday, March 30, 2012, at Wallace Funeral Home and Chapel, by Elder Garland Perry and Elder Vernon Perry. Burial followed at Ridgelawn Memorial Park, Huntington. Vickie was born August 24, 1955, to Carl and Lorene Adkins Bartram, in Cabell County, West Virginia. She graduated from Barboursville High School in 1973 and was employed at Cracker Barrel in retail sales, where she was always quick to share a hug and a smile. Vickie was a member of Bethlehem United Baptist Church, where she served many years as a Sunday school teacher, vacation Bible school coordinator, and Christmas play coordinator, sharing her gifts of art, painting and craft-making and most of all, her love for children. Vickie was preceded in death by her parents, her mother-inlaw and father-in-law, Howard and Eunice Adkins, and her precious daughter, Erin Renae Adkins Wilson. What a heavenly reunion that must have been! Vickie is survived by her loving husband of 37 years, Homer Lenvil Adkins, her devoted daughter and son-in-law Carrie Beth and Craig Timothy Boggs, her son-in-law Brian James Wilson, her sisters and brothers-inlaw Linda and Ronnie Hatfield, Sheila and Larry Nicely and Tonia and Steve Fulks, her brother J.R. Bartram, her nephews Jason Hatfield, Jeremy Hatfield, and Joshua Adkins, and her special nieces Haley, Kaitlyn and Loren Fulks, and a host of aunts, uncles, cousins, and special friends that she held dear, especially her "Cracker Barrel Gang" whom she loved with all her heart. Vickie's strong faith and love for her family made her "the rock" for those around her and while our hearts are broken, we
can find comfort that she has achieved her ultimate goal and is reaping her reward in heaven for eternity. "I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." II Timothy 4:7-8. Wallace Funeral Home and Chapel, Barboursville, assisted the family. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.timeformemory.com/wallace.
