MILTON - A world-renowned southern gospel group will bless the city with a one-of-a-kind sound and performance 7 p.m. Saturday April 20. Dan Keeton, Jerry Pelfrey, Daniel Riley, Tim Riley and Bryan Elliott of Gold City will saturate the walls of the Pumpkin Park Music Hall, recently renamed Milton Performing Arts Center (MPAC) with heavenly orchestras of hope. Impact is what Gold City is striving to do. The band brings more than 30 years of musical experience to the table. Combine that with their undeniable love for God, and the recipe for something perfectly harmonious and melodic is created. Gold City has a simple goal during its performances. “We want to continue striving to bring glory and honor to God through the greatest music on
Earth,” said Bass Singer Tim Riley. “Our job is to sing - to minister to that person sitting in the middle of the back row at a concert that might be his only chance to hear the gospel ever again.” Bill Kelley, president of the WV Pumpkin Festival looked back to the standing-room-only-crowd that filled the music hall during the Ernie Haase and Signature Sound show in March. He expects another sell-out concert Saturday. “Our base is building,” Kelley said. “To be able to get this size of crowds in a climate-controlled facility - we feel we can do wonders in the community.” The music hall is known for its astounding acoustics. Officials, audience members and artists constantly comment of the wide range of sound the auditorium is able to magnify. “Ernie Haase and Signature Sound was well-pleased with the area and the facility - they were amazed with the acoustics,” re-

Shedding Light on Morris Memorial By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON - Local author Sally Holliday knows the devastating affects Polio can bring. She stood inside the Milton Senior Center Wednesday to speak about her family’s past and their experiences with the
disease and the once-poliotreatment-center: Morris Memorial Hospital. Her sister, Betsy Fletcher Rea battled the illness and spent two years receiving treatment in the Milton hospital. Holliday gathered letters from Rea, family members and friends, who all battled Polio. She then compiled them into a
book, called “Rea of Hope.” “The things I’m saying came from the people - not me,” Holliday said. “When we were growing up, the Polio epidemic first began theaters and fairs everywhere were closed.” Her sister, Rea, fought through the deadly disease. In her book, Holliday writes first-hand-accounts from Rea
and others’ experiences with Polio. The letters are filled with emotion. Rea overcame the disease, finished college, married and gave birth to three children - a feat doctors said would never happen. She died from cancer in 1996, SEE MEMORIAL ON PAGE 8

County Receives New Elevator, new Deputy By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
HUNTINGTON - During a 20minute commission meeting, county leaders discussed the new courthouse elevator, a recent audit and the temporary hiring of a deputy in the sheriff's department. County Manager Chris Tatum seemed confident in the audit report. "I talked to the auditors and they gave favorable marks on our financial records," he said. "We'll have an exit conference on this." Next, commissioners discussed resolutions on the Green Acres Regional Center and the Maddie Carroll House. The commissioners approved a grant application for the purchase of a trailer to haul landscaping equipment at Green Acres and a grant contract for the purchase of a
$12,000 heating and air conditioning unit at the Maddie Carroll House. Both are Community Participation Grants. In other discussions, the commission learned that a deputy in the sheriff's department would be going on military leave. A representative with the department asked the commission for approval to hire a temporary deputy in his place. Commissioners agreed to hire a retired Huntington police officer. "It's nice having someone in this position who is already trained and certified," said Commissioner President Nancy Cartmill. Cartmill and others learned about the Greater Kanawha Resource and Development Conservation Thursday. Don McCroskey, treasurer of the board, spoke to them about
the budget and current projects. McCroskey also informed commissioners that the state will no longer approve community development projects for his organization. "They're currently providing some funding for the skate park in Milton, and we had planned on putting trees there - we're also working on the pond at the Pumpkin Park," he said. "With the 2013-2014 budget, we're needing to do work at the Rotary Park, Sargent Park in Milton and the riverbank problem at the 4-H Camp." Commissioners wrapped up the short meeting with longawaited good news about the new courthouse elevator. "As of 2:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon, the elevator was operational," said Tatum. "Thank God it's over and we got our elevator again," said Cartmill. "It's beautiful."

Velma’s View By Velma Kitchens Laughter I have a mug my daughter gave me and on the mug it says, “A day without laughter is a day wasted.” I couldn’t agree more. Laughter is way of releasing stress and it makes us look better. I remember as a young adult I would watch The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson. I loved to hear his monologue every night. I would stay up and watch him every evening and then get up and go to school the next morning. I got a job a few months after graduation and I still stayed up late and watched Johnny Carson. I would go to work and come home and take a nap and then get up and go to bed after The Tonight Show went off the air. As a young person it did not bother me much. Now that I am older, 9:30 is late. Anyway, everyone on that show was funny, and it made us laugh. All the old comedies on TV when I was growing up was funny and clean. It is hard to find a comedy that is wholesome now. I have found that people like to be around lively people who are full of laughter. Even in the sad and lonely times, there has to be at least one thing that can make us laugh in the day. If not, just look in the mirror. Rodney Dangerfield was so funny and he got no respect. He would wipe his sweat as he did his standup routine. Jack Benny was so funny; also Red Skelton, Carol Burnett, Phyllis Diller, Bob Newhart, Harvey Korman, and countless others I wouldn’t want to be in the audience around Don Rickles. I think he was funny, but he could make you mad. Enough is enough. Every day we should look at the world and not take life so seriously. Life is serious when we think of eternity, but God is in control and only humans can laugh.

WeeklyDevotional By Mary Jane “THE UNSINKABLE TITANIC” Thought for the week: I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things. 2 Corinthians: 16 (KJV) Do we have enough confidence in God, thru our many trials in life? When trying to achieve a task, the Bible verse instructs us, we should trust him in ALL things. This April marks 100 years, of the sinking of the great cruise ship Titanic - the builders had confidence that it could not ever sink. Designed with the best of knowledge and materials in its day, it was impossible, but did God prove differently? I remember my Mother telling me this story. She was 12 years old living with her family, tucked snuggly down in Coon Creek Hollow of Putman County. They only received newspapers once a month. When the paper came, telling this news, that happened half-way around the world, she re-read the story many times, it made such an impression on
her… and me also. The great ship was built and dubbed UNSINKABLE, to hold 2,200 passengers, so sure of safety it only carried 20 lifeboats. Starting out on its maiden voyage on April 10th 1912, from England making few stops, to its destination - New York City. Smooth sailing she was to be, for those who could afford the luxuries of the finest food, friends and entertainment - dressing daily to walk on one of the 9 decks, watching the birds flying in the blue sky, or the swell of the mighty ocean by day and night. Psalm: 118:8 it is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. On April 14th 1912, four days out into her voyage, she struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m., taking only four hours to sink; over 1,500 people met death, in the bitter cold, below freezing, dark night waters. The rest is history. There have been over 20 movies, with various titles, about the great ship TITANIC. Many
The Cabell Standard stories told by the passengers, and many books and articles written. The song for the 1997 movie “My Heart will Go On’’ says: near, far, wherever you are, I believe that the heart does go on. Telling the story of one young couple who met on board, falling in love and planning their future, when arriving on shore. GOD can change lifelong plans in a second, something you plan today, you may put off till tomorrow, remember GOD said, Luke; 12; 20- But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be, which thou has provided? As reported the band played “Nearer my God to Thee’’ while the great ship sank down into the dark ocean waters. We should strive to stay nearer to our GOD. He is in control of all things. I believe He gives us freedom to make choices. Cruise ships are great trips, but for me I want to have both feet planted firmly on ground. As I go now to have a big chocolate milkshake, trying to eat sensible the rest of this day, I have confidence I can do that. Prayer: Our Heavenly Father, help each of us to trust in You daily, with all decisions in life. Amen.

Libraries receive Supplemental Grants CHARLESTON, WV - The West Virginia Library Commission has awarded supplemental grants totaling $134,828 to eight public libraries across the state for construction and renovation projects. Cabell County Public Library was awarded $19,663. With West Virginia’s public libraries needed more now than ever to help West Virginians prepare for work and find it, libraries across the state were encouraged to apply for the supplemental grants. Libraries were invited to submit proposals for projects in the areas of construction, programming, collections and equipment, with construction being the top priority. In order to provide significant assistance, the Library Commission set a $10,000 minimum for construction or renovation grants. Requests in this category alone totaled almost $500,000 and did not include requests for new facilities. Karen Goff, Secretary of the Library Commission, said “The number of applications for these grants illustrates

the needs, activities and aspirations of public libraries across the state.” No federal or state funds are available specifically for construction and renovation. The projects funded by the supplemental grants vary in scope and scale. Pocahontas County Free Libraries will add wiring, plumbing and fire alarms to a new building that has been under construction for a few years. “We’re renting a location in Durban right now, but it’s incredibly small,” said Director Vicky Terry. “We’re excited about the supplemental grant,” said Terry. “When we get some money, we do something in the new library and get closer to moving in.”
Mountaintop Public Library in Tucker County will use its supplemental grant for a muchneeded new roof. Among other problems, leaks in the old roof have caused the ceiling to grow mold and fall in places. Valley Head Public Library in Randolph County will connect its original building to a new addition behind it. In an email to Secretary Goff, Valley Head Director Douglas Wood wrote, “We thank you and the town of Valley Head thanks you so very much.” The West Virginia Library Commission encourages lifelong learning, individual empowerment, civic engagement and an enriched quality of life by enhancing library and information services for all West Virginians.

I took my son, 11, flyfishing for the first time last week. I say it was the first time, but it wasn't really. He's been with me on several outings, but this was the first where I could hand him a rod and he could cast it. When children are young - as he was on the previous outings -
they have this tendency to crack the flyline like a bullwhip, which never works and usually breaks the tippet. We fished Knapp's Creek in Pocahontas County, which is very accessible from West Virginia 219, which runs alongside it. Knapp's Creek, like most of West Virginia, has an interesting history. It was settled about the same time as the Ohio Valley (just a little bit earlier, actually) by folks coming overland from Virginia as opposed to the mostly New Englanders who settled the Ohio Valley (you had to go via Pittsburgh to get to that part of that state). One of the first Knapp's Creek settlers was Moses Moore, who like everybody else on the frontier, spent days away from home hunting. Around 1770, he was, of all things, sitting in the woods reading the bible, when a band of Indians (probably Shawnee) captured him and drug him away kicking and screaming back to Ohio with them, but he managed to escape and make it back home.

The creek is stocked fairly regularly - once in January, twice in February and weekly March through May and twice in October. I usually like fishing stonefly imitations this time of year, but I didn't have any. I tie my own flies and about everything I had in my fly box was streamers for smallmouth, white bass and the like, but I did manage to find a nymph fly to tie on. Even though it was an April day, it was cold and when it started snowing it snowed hard. About an inch fell in 30 minutes. Not only was it snowing hard, we couldn't see any trout, but he did get some real-life casting experience. I taught him the roll cast, which I think is the best first cast for a beginner to learn, since you don't have to worry about getting your backcast caught in the trees, etc. If you aren't familiar with flyfishing, a roll cast is where - and this is a very simplified way of explaining it – you cast by throwing a circle of line in front of you. The
circle of excess line works its way down the line and when it finally unfurls; it lays the fly down gently on the water. With the roll cast, all the line is always directly in front of you. If you are flyfishing from shore, it's very often the only cast possible because there's usually brush, shrubs and trees to your back and sides. I'm sure somebody had already thought of this before I did, but I did come up with this one sidearm cast several years ago where you false cast the line from left to right a couple of feet above water level, but of course that's way too advanced for little David. I was surprised how quickly he caught on to the roll cast. It was fairly simple to teach, just lift the rod until its almost vertical, wait for the line to stop moving toward you, then cast the rod forward with increasing speed. It's all one continuous motion - one motion, then the cast is over - without the stress of maintaining the line load in the back-and-forth false casting of the standard flyrod casting. It teaches the importance of
varying the speed of arm motion during the cast, which is the No. 1 problem beginners face when learning to flyfish. To make the line move forward, you have to start the cast motion slow and increase speed until you reach the end of the motion. So, for the forward motion in a regular cast, you'd start slow, and then increase your arm speed until you've reached the end of the casting motion. Then, when you backcast, you do the same, only moving your arm backwards. You repeat the process until you've got enough line in the air to put your fly where you want it. You start slow and speed up as you go no matter what you are doing. It takes some time to get that rhythm down, moving backwards, forwards and varying speed the whole time. With only one motion per cast, the roll cast simplifies the learning process. Contact David Payne at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
Outdoors Roundup I've been writing outdoors columns for one paper or another for 18 years now. Every spring, the DNR sends out the same press release. I imagine they write new ones every year, but it always has the same title “Leave Young Wildlife Alone.” When you write something over and over and over, year after year after year, it makes you want to pull out your hair. The problem is you try to write it some new way, so it doesn't look like you're just phoning it in, as the expression goes. That works for about three or four years. But no matter how many times I write this, it needs said: leave young wildlife alone. There is this misconception that wild animals are like Disney characters - or young animals are like human children. After all, we wouldn't let our toddlers run around on their own, so folks assume that if they see a young animal by itself, then it must be orphaned and in need of rescue. By touching young animals, humans leave a scent that may attract a predator or by removing a young animal from where it is, instead of helping it, you might just be removing it from its mother. Animals have to go out and work hard for their food and they don't have babysitters. DNR offices statewide receive numerous calls each year concerning young wildlife, especially fawn deer that have been picked up by well-meaning residents. In
almost every case these young animals have not been abandoned. The offspring are often hidden as the adult searches for food, and this separation can last for a few hours or all day. It's also illegal to handle wildlife. The North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission has adopted a resolution supporting a bill that would allow people to hunt on Sundays on private lands. “Allowing Sunday hunting on private lands will provide additional hunting days and additional options for youth and adults whose school and employment responsibilities limit their hunting opportunities to weekends,” said Gordon Myers, executive director of the Wildlife Commission. The prohibition against Sunday hunting serves no purpose with regard to conservation of wildlife resources and habitats. North Carolina residents who currently seek hunting opportunities in neighboring states that do allow Sunday hunting take substantial revenues elsewhere instead of keeping these dollars within North Carolina borders where they would generate tremendous economic benefits, particularly to rural areas and businesses. PETA is shopping around for drones to harass hunters with. I picked this up directly from a PETA press release: “PETA will soon have some impressive new weapons at its disposal to combat those who gun down deer and doves. The group
is shopping for one or more drone aircraft with which to monitor those who are out in the woods with death on their minds. PETA aims to collect video footage of any illegal activity, including drinking while in the possession of a firearm, a common complaint from those who live near wooded areas; maiming animals and failing to pursue them so that they die slowly and painfully; and using spotlights, feed lures, and other hunting tricks that are illegal in some areas but remain common practices among hunters. PETA currently has its sights on Australia-based Aerobot and its stateof-the-art remote-controlled Cinestar Octocopter. 'The talk is usually about drones being used as killing machines, but PETA drones will be used to save lives,' says PETA President Ingrid E. Newkirk. 'Slob hunters may need to rethink the idea that they can get away with murder, alone out there in the woods with no one watching.' PETA also intends to fly the drones over factory farms, popular fishing spots, and other venues where animals routinely suffer and die.” Of course, this is a huge joke. Do you have any idea how much those things cost? I'm also curious how long it would be in the air before some hunter shot it down. Contact David Payne at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

Governor Tomblin and The Public Service Commission of West Virginia encourages Citizens to call Before You Dig April is Safe Digging Month CHARLESTON, WV - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, joined by the Public Service Commission of West Virginia, issued a proclamation today announcing April as Safe Digging Month in the state, and encourages citizens to call "811" before starting a digging project. "From outdoor home improvement projects to large scale construction, this month marks the traditional start of digging season and protecting yourself and your communities is as simple as pick-
ing up the phone," Gov. Tomblin said. "By calling 811, homeowners and professionals are making an important safety decision." A utility line is damaged by digging once every three minutes nationwide and one-third of these accidents are caused by failure of the professional excavator or homeowner to contact "811" before beginning their project. Striking a single pipeline, wire or cable can cause injury, repair costs, fines and inconvenient outages.
MEMORIAL FROM PAGE 1 but her legacy survived. The Rea of Hope House in Charleston was built shortly after her death in her honor. It is used to help women recover from alcohol and drug problems. Many have successfully broken the chains of addiction there, said Holliday. “The drug problems we have today are our Polio epidemic,” she said. “There are no places for these people to go (drug addicts).” Holliday continued, “I hope we’ll see things happen with Morris Memorial - it would be a benefit for Milton and the people around it.” Milton Mayor Tom Canterbury is confident Holliday’s wish will soon come true. “We’re getting it on the National Historic Registry and taking bids to put a new roof on it,”
Every digging project, no matter how large or small, warrants a call to WV 811, from installing a mailbox, building a deck and planting a tree. "We join Governor Tomblin in strongly encouraging individuals and companies to call West Virginia 811 before they begin their spring digging projects," said Public Service Commission Chairman Michael Albert. "By having underground lines marked, homeowners are making
an important decision that can help keep them and their communities safe and connected." When calling "811," homeowners and contractors are connected to WV 811, which notifies the appropriate utility companies of their intent to dig. Professional locators are then sent to the requested digging site to mark the approximate locations of underground lines with flags and paint. Once lines have been accurately marked, digging can begin.
The depth of utility lines can vary for a number of reasons, such as erosion, previous digging projects and uneven surfaces. Utility lines need to be properly marked because even when digging only a few inches, the risk of striking an underground utility line still exists. To know what's below, call "811" or 800-245-4848.

75th Ramp Festival set for April 20 RICHWOOD - For three-quarters of a century residents of the quaint town of Richwood have been digging in the mountains, rolling up their sleeves and cleaning ramps for the biggest and oldest Ramp feed in the U.S. On April 20, the Richwood Area Chamber of Commerce will again sponsor the Feast of the Ramson, where approximately 1,500 pounds of ramps are cleaned and prepared to feed more than 1,000 people. This year Southern Living chose Richwood as the place to attend a ramp festival as part of their “Best of the South.” Organizers said the fun part of the feast is seeing old friends, making new ones, and drinking sassafras tea, organizers said. The feast includes a dinner of ramps with traditional Appalachian foods of ham, bacon, potatoes, beans, cornbread and homemade desserts. Dinner will be served from 10:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. There will also be craft show from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. and a
ramp recipe contest at noon. Throughout the day, the celebration features entertainment including bluegrass music and clogging. Featured entertainers this year are Marteka andWilliam Lake, who play the old Flatt & Scruggs style of bluegrass on banjo and guitar. Organizers said ramps have become the “in” thing with chefs in larger cities despite their humble beginnings in the mountain woods. Many pounds of ramps are shipped from Richwood to cities like Chicago and New York. The ramson, know botanically as the American leek, has been the “piece-de-resistance” for springtime dinners and suppers from the early American settlements to hunters and campers, organizers said. For more details on ordering advance tickets or entering the Ramp Recipe Contest, please visit the Chamber’s web site at www.richwoodchamberofcommerce.org/Fe ast-of-the-Ramson.html.
