State’s First PigglyWiggly Opens in Milton By Justin Waybright
l Volume 115 l Issue 16
Bikes Rock and Roll the Village
justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON - The first Piggly Wiggly in West Virginia is here. A new face in grocery stores sits in Perry Morris Square. Discounted prices, wide varieties and friendly service are found inside Milton’s newest addition. Most notice the famous grocery store chain in the south during beach vacations. The same deals enjoyed on vacations can be found locally, now. Residents remember Foodland where Piggly Wiggly now sits. The same owners Steve and Marty Johnson run this improved grocery store. The reason for switching to Piggly Wiggly is customers, said coowner Steve Johnson. “We now have the buying power of a 600-store grocery chain, so we can expand variety SEE PIGGLY WIGGLY ON PAGE 9

BARBOURSVILLE - The pavement rattled and shook when tricked-out street bikes cruised onto the Veterans Home parking lot Saturday April 13. The undeniable, thunderous melody of open exhaust and radical cams pierced the village. Under a canopy of American flags, they rolled and roared in on custom motorcycles. Red, white and blue waved and wrinkled in the spring air above them. On the lot, the strong afternoon sun danced and sparkled off chrome wheels and tailpipes while Burning Ridge rocked the stage. Various motorcycle club members and local riders shook hands with men and women, who were brave enough to sacrifice everything for freedom: veterans. Garrick Pridemore, Veterans
Home recreation director and military member looked toward the crowd with pride. “This is our 5th annual show, and all the money from donations and sales go to the recreation department at the Veterans Home,” he said. “I think this is important for people to find an organization like this, worthy of donating to.” Much of the money raised from the bike show will go toward sending veterans to the Ney York City 911 Memorial. For the Huntington Motorcycle Club, the event is one of many they participate in. “We’ve got an event coming up where we will work with local churches to feed the homeless,” said Huntington MC member James Stacey. The biker looked toward his 2013 Harley Roadglide and smiled. For him riding is a way of life. “I remember as a kid, riding on the back of my dad and uncle’s

MILTON - Dirt flew, tires spun and bikes soared through the air during the Milton Motorcross season opener April 12.
The sound of two and fourstroke motors winding out, echoed throughout Pumpkin Park. Riders banged through the gears, pushing their Yamaha, KTM, Suzuki and Kawasaki dirt bikes to the max. The race drew in crowds from across the Tri-State. The track
sent racers through a series of turns, small jumps, steep hills and ramped them through the air. "It takes a lot of courage and heart to get on a machine and take on a 60-foot jump," said promoter Ronnie Farmer. From children to adults, they
were fearless, pushing their bikes to the edge. Parents watched their kids race their hearts out Friday night. Cheers and claps resonated throughout the park. "It's exciting to watch your kid SEE ADRENALINE ON PAGE 3

Thought for the week: For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. Jude; 1-4 (KJV) Most of us, who are born in America, have freedom; we have family and friends somewhere, someplace in these United States. Even the most homeless, orphaned, lost person can usually find shelter, in a cardboard cover, by the river, or on a street, under a bridge or mission shelter... We all are born of previous generations. God created and made the World, and all that is in it. How we believe, how we are influenced to live, is our own decision... Have you ever stopped to think? What if, you had been born in another Country? Africa, Australia, Germany? Your descendants would have been different, as your thoughts and ways; it’s a big, big, world. During the years 1933 - 1945 history tells us what happened, half way around the world from us.
April is the month it is observed, the Holocaust - the extermination of Jewish people and their relatives. Approximately six million Jews were starved, beaten, experiments of medical surgery, especially on twin children, and put into gas chambers, it was as if evil blood flowed from one army guard thru another - to inflict these horrible acts on the people, by the hand of their leader, Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Some of the thousands of true stories, you read about, told by survivors and their ancestors are hard to fathom. One such book is ‘The Five Diamonds,’ written by holocaust survivor Irene Weisberg Zisblatt. What courage this young, 13 year old girl had, how five loose diamonds, previously handed to her, by her mother upon realizing they were to be separated at a concentration camp. She was told to hold on to them, no matter what, that someday they could buy her freedom. She never forgot her mother’s words, she had to ingest, and recover these diamonds, many times during this ordeal of survival; but she did survive, to tell her story.
Tuesday,April 23,2013 – Page 3 Her human spirit truly was by the grace of God. This is a story of only one. What about all those who died such deplorable, horrible deaths, during this time in our history? We ask why God allowed this to happen to the Jewish people. There are many who give their theories, but none know the answer. Ephesians 6; 12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness, of this world against spiritual wickedness in high places. We can only try to the best of our ability, to live a Christian life, during our lifespan, we may learn from listening, and watching, remembering situations of those who have gone before us, how they lived and survived this world, for it is a constant battle each and every day. As we know the powers of the devil continues to haunt us. I Peter 5; 8 - be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking who he may devour. Are we thankful enough for our freedom, this tragedy of 911 is not easily forgotten, the Boston runners just this week, it is happening closer and closer to home. We just put our trust in God and He will see us thru. Prayer: OUR FATHER, we THANK YOU, for our FREEDOM, may we trust you to keep us in the hollow of your hand. Amen.

Autism Awareness Month April is Autism Awareness Month, an opportunity to draw attention to the widespread needs of autistic individuals and their families and advocate research into the causes of autism and ways to improve its diagnosis and treatment. Autism and autism spectrum disorders generally refer to a group of developmental disabilities that impair social skills and communication. In our Nation, 1 in 88 children are now diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder, up from 1 in 150 children in 2000. This disturbing trend highlights the critical importance of investing in the research, education, and services necessary to better understand autism and improve the quality of life for affected individuals and families. In southern West Virginia, we are fortunate to have organizations that are committed to improving the awareness of autism, as well as marshalling the resources of the community. Dedicated volunteers and families have organized walks and events in our cities and towns to remind
us that autism awareness is about the kids and those of us who love them and would do anything to help secure their future. West Virginians’ commitment in supporting families with autistic children is truly inspiring. West Virginia also is home to the West Virginia Autism Training Center at Marshall University. The Center is pioneering intensive, individualized education and training for families, educators, and individuals impacted by autism in West Virginia. As a member of the bipartisan Autism Caucus – Coalition for Autism Research and Education, I have been active and vocal in supporting legislation to increase autism research funding, as well as autism education, intervention, and early detection. I have advocated in favor and urged full funding of the Combating Autism Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Act, which provide much needed assistance to family members, school officials, and health providers in order to care for autistic individuals.
I also support the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act. This legislation would allow individuals with disabilities to create tax-free ABLE accounts to help save and secure funding for independent living expenses, such as housing, transportation, education, and health care. The number of West Virginia children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders continues to grow, and, as Congress considers ways to reduce our Nation’s deficits and move the Federal budget toward balance, I will continue fight in behalf of autism research and support services. Autism Awareness Month should remind all of us that the explosion of autism cases affects our State as much as any other, including many of our communities and families. It demands a broad and coordinated response, which I am proud to be part of, to ensure that every child has the opportunity to live their life to its fullest potential. U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV) represents West Virginia’s Third Congressional District

Velma’s View By Velma Kitchens Colorado
By Justin Waybright
SISSONVILLE - Occasionally, when a person dies, their legacy lives on. This is the case with Shain Gandee. Most know him from the controversial MTV series Buckwild. Autumn Martin knows him as “friend.” The University of Charleston student remembered when state leaders and residents fought the airing of the famous TV show. However, after its first few episodes, many negative views toward the show changed. What several thought would paint West Virginia in a bad light, actually portrayed fun and the outdoor beauty of the Mountain State Gandee being the leader of it all. When news headlines flooded TVs and social media, stating that Gandee had died during Easter weekend, Martin’s heart sank. “I was supposed to be with them that night,” she said. “When I heard, I completely lost it.” Martin is comforted that Gandee died peacefully, doing what he loved: four-wheeling in West Virginia. After the shock of losing her friend, the Sissonville High School graduate remembered Gandee’s life and what he held dear: his family. “When he passed, I knew he would have wanted them taken care of,” she said. That is when Martin took action. She worked with Tanfastiq and the Ohio-based Gandee’s General Store to raise money for the Gandee family. During recent weeks, Martin has sold hundreds of custom camouflage bracelets that read, “Camo for Shain.” The money has gone to

Friends for life - When Buckwild’s Shane Gandee passed, Sissonville resident Autumn Martin lost her best friend. Courtesy Photo support the actor’s family. Martin hopes the bracelets will also continue memories of Gandee. “Two months from now when I see a person wearing this, I’ll know he’s still with us,” she said, holding back emotion. Martin hopes those who formed negative stereotypes and opinions of her friend will learn the truth of who he really was. “He was an angel - when he walked into the room, everyone lit up,” she recalled. “He was a great person with a magnetic personality.” For Gandee, the words of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Simple Man” rang true. “I admired him, because he didn’t have much, but he made the most of what he had,” said Martin This often meant creating fun on a budget. To Gandee, the boring weekend was nonexistent. “He would make his own fun by building a pool in a dump truck, sliding on a bathtub, four-wheeling and anything outdoors,” she said. One of Gandee’s friends and
Memories live on - To support Gandee’s family and continue his legacy, supporters are selling “Camo for Shain” bracelets. Purchase these at the Milton Flea Market and at the Teays Valley, Cross Lanes or Elkview Tanfastiq locations. Courtesy Photo Buckwild cast members Joey Mulcahy posted to social media shortly after his friend passed. “Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers,” he wrote. “We are taking a break from filming for a couple weeks, and not sure what we are going to do at this point.” As of now, MTV has cancelled the second season of the show. Martin left a message for Gandee on social media fewer than 24 hours after his death. “You were the best person I've ever had the opportunity to meet in my life,” she wrote. “I love you, and I will forever be grateful for the time we got to spend together.” Martin thanks MTV, Tanfastiq and all those who supported her friend and his family. To keep Gandee’s legacy alive and to aid his family, purchase a “Camo for Shain” bracelet at the Milton Flea Market, Tanfastiq and through the Gandee General Store. To donate to the cause, residents can deposit funds into the “Shain Gandee Account” at Wesbanco.
This time of year reminds me of our trip we took to Colorado by way of Florida. I was working in 1979 at a grocery wholesale company and asked for a leave of absence but was denied. I pondered this decision, so I decided that this was a once-in-alifetime chance to go across the country in a pickup truck with my husband and see the country, so I did. I have never regretted that decision. We went to Florida for awhile then we moved on across the south on Interstate 10. We went through Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana, Texas - which was a long, long way across. From Beaumont to El Paso is 874 miles (I didn’t think we would ever get to Colorado). We stopped in a small store in Mississippi and it was something you would see in a movie. It was raining in Alabama and our wipers were not working well. We met some people from West Virginia and it is so good to meet people from our home state while travelling. Anyway, we did make it to Colorado, I kept a daily journal and I look at it every now and then and remember all our travelling stories and our adventure. I will write more about that soon. Just remember life is short, take advantage of adventures in your life as long as it is good. When you get older you will have a tremendous amount of memories.

Learning to match the hatch
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
I did some fly fishing on Knapp's Creek again last week. I found some fabulous spots, including some little whirlpools – anytime I see a whirlpool I make a bee line for it. I threw out all sorts of flies, all of which were refused. This went on until a little before sunset. There was a hatch and I matched it. A lot of fly fishermen can see a bug, tell you its scientific name and the specific name of the artificial fly pattern (and its hook size) that represents that specific insect. I'm not really that good at that. I just see some bugs, open my fly box and ask myself what do I have in this box that looks
most like all these insects flying around. There are, of course, exceptions to everything and there would be many days I'm sure where somebody more familiar with these insects would catch far more fish than I. Trout eat a lot of stuff. They eat insects that live in the water, insects that live on land (and fall in the water), crawdads, worms, fish smaller than themselves – all sorts of stuff. Fly fishermen usually concentrate on the aquatic insects that live most of their lives in the water and then transform into adult insects that leave the water to fly around in – and breathe – air. They mate in the air and then die. When they hatch – that is emerge into their adult stages and take to the air – they are very vulnerable to predators. When a bunch of them hatch at that the same time, trout will concentrate on that one food and ignore everything else. This behavior is called selective feeding. “Matching the hatch” is to present an artificial fly that, as far as the trout is concerned, matches the insect that is hatching and they are selectively feeding on. Trout are not the only type of fish that will selectively feed on mayflies in this way. On the Ohio River around Parkersburg (and probably elsewhere) is huge hexagenia mayfly hatch every
year around July 4. Every year I lived there, there was a hex hatch going on Independence Day (it would start two or three days before and continue for a few days after). Billions of them would be flying around the river and nearly every square inch of ground would be covered with dead hex flies, which are, by mayfly standards, huge. There would be several hex fly hatches during the summer, but none as big as the Independence Day hatch. There would usually be a false hatch (that's a small hatch before the big one) late in the evening, then the big one would come on around dusk. What was interesting to me was that the catfish would stop biting on their normal baits – chicken livers, worms, stinky stuff, etc. - around the time the hex flies started hatching and they would actually come up and grab some of the flies on the surface. Something else interesting that I noticed: during several of the mass hex hatches, I threw out various trout dry flies (I do a lot of warm water fly fishing) that resembled a hex fly, although they were smaller than the big hex flies that were hatching on the Ohio River. All fish totally ignored these flies I threw out during those hatches, despite the fact at other times I caught fish on those same flies. I suppose catfish and bass can act as much like trout as trout
do at times. Mayflies have been around since the carboniferous era. That was a long time ago. So long ago, the coal we mine today was trees then. Our mountains – the oldest in the world - hadn't even been yet. I suppose the sheer number of them has ensured their survival and if you ever see the Independence Day Ohio River hex hatch, you might wonder how, if they lived so long in the water (usually a year or two) how they would all even fit in the river. The answer is, they don't. They live in the mud beneath it. They can burrow deep down to 30 feet or more in the bottom – I suppose until they find solid rock. I had always planned to tie some really big hex flies and try to catch a catfish on one, but I never got around to it. It would certainly be an incredible experience to catch a catfish on a fly rod, which I have never done. I have caught several carp and buffalo fish as big as 25 or 30 pounds with my eight-weight fly rod with nine-weight sinking line and a fly I designed called The Payne Killer. I designed that fly to represent a dying gizzard shad for white bass. When I tied bigger vanilla-soaked Payne Killers on size No. 1 hooks and drug them along the bottom, carp and buffalo fish would gobble them up. I found this extremely interesting: I could only catch them this way
only after the Ohio River had fallen below 38 degrees around early January and then they would stop hitting on them in early March – although the Ohio River water would still be in the 30s in March and some of April. I have no idea why that was. Most of the time on the Ohio, fish – especially white bass, which is what I usually fly-fished for – would selectively feed on gizzard shad. In my years fishing the Ohio, I spent a lot of time studying gizzard shad. But now that I'm doing a bit more cold water stream fishing, I should probably be learning more about all these insects, which fly fishermen tend to study more than they do trout themselves. It can be really daunting to understand all these insects fly fishermen talk about, because there are many, many insects. You'll be off to a very good start just by learning about the four main fly groups: mayflies, caddish flies, midges and stoneflies. If you just know what those are and have your fly box stocked with artificial flies of various sizes representing these four groups, plus some terrestrial insects (ants, bees, grasshoppers and the like) you'll be fine. Just look for whatever bugs are around for the fish to eat and pick whatever fly in your box looks most like it. Contact David Payne at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
New Bridge Complete; Babcock State Park Open CLIFFTOP, WV -The bridge replacement at Babcock State Park is complete and the park is open for the 2013 season. The structure, which was re-
built during the closed season last winter, spans Glade Creek of Manns near the much-photographed Glade Creek Grist Mill at the park. The bridge provides
vehicular and foot traffic access to the majority of facilities at this Fayette County destination, including rental cabins, Glade Creek Grist Mill, Boley Lake,

Babcock State Park superintendent Clinton Cochran expressed his gratitude to the West Virginia Division of Highways for on-time completion. “Having this work completed prior to our spring vacation season opening is wonderful for us and for the thousand s of visitors who enjoy the park each year,” Cochran said. Babcock’s cabin and campground rentals resumed April 12. Cochran also compliments anglers who understood the need for delay in trout stocking this spring in order to have a safe con-
struction zone at the bridge site where stocking generally occurs. For the trout stocking schedule of Glade Creek and sites in Fayette County, see the WVDNR website www.wvdnr.gov. West Virginia fishing licenses and associated stamps may be purchased online at www.wvfish.com or at a local licensed retailer.

State Fairgrounds Giant Spring Marshall Students to Flea Market and Antique Show participate in Donning Coming Soon! of Kente Thursday, May 2 HUNTINGTON - Marshall University's Center for African American Students' Programs is making plans for the annual Donning of Kente Celebration of Achievement. The event will take place at 5 p.m. Thursday, May 2, at the Joan C. Edwards Playhouse on Marshall's Huntington campus. The celebration and capand-gown ceremony will begin with a processional that will include graduating students, university deans, faculty and Marshall President Stephen J. Kopp. The keynote speaker will be William A. Smith, superintendent of schools in Cabell County, who is an alumnus of Marshall. "We take pride once again to bring to our campus and community the richness of this centuries-old and unusual ceremony," said Maurice Cooley, director of the center. "The Kente ceremonial tradition, with its roots in West Africa, recognizes an individual for his/her extraordinary accomplishments and brings to us the spirit of this event." The ceremony takes place each spring for African and African American students who graduated from Marshall University during the winter and those slated for graduation in May or during the coming summer school term. Cooley
emphasized that all Marshall and Huntington community members are welcome to attend. The Kente cloth, which resembles a stole and is worn with the academic regalia, is a symbol of accomplishment that has its roots in a long tradition of weaving in West African countries. Marshall instituted the tradition of presenting Kente cloths to graduating African American students several years ago, and approximately 50 students are expected to participate along with university deans, faculty and staff. Cooley said the Donning of Kente Celebration of Achievement is one of the most prestigious and culturally significant events in which Marshall's African and African American students can participate. The following woven cloths will be awarded during the Donning of Kente celebration: Owia Repue for associate degrees; Babadua for bachelor's degrees; Kyemfere for master's degrees; and Akyem Shield for post-master's degrees. African music will be provided by the Marshall University African Dance and Drum ensemble, directed by James Hall. A reception will follow for all participants and those in attendance.

Registers beeped and customers smiled. However, something unusual took place in the parking lot. Piggly Wiggly workers carried groceries to shopper’s cars and loaded them. Customers seemed to love the above-andbeyond-service they received. “We’re a full-service supermarket with carry-out service, explained Johnson. If that is not enough to draw in crowds, the unique benefits and deals inside the store should. “We offer a fuel land rewards program, we make fresh donuts, cut preferred Angus beef and offer top-notch private label brands that are priced right,” Johnson said, looking at a plethora of sales stickers. “Our produce is greatly improved - it’s revamped too.” The Johnsons know what it takes to run a successful grocery store. Shopping buggies and sales ads run in their blood.

After graduation, Webb married Wanda and moved to Philadelphia, Pa., where he joined the voting machine division of Merritt, Chapman and Scott. Several years later he moved to Nashville, Tenn., when the company added a new office. He traveled extensively throughout the U.S. and internationally. He was VP of sales for the company's International Election Equipment Corp. division. Webb enjoyed boating and skiing with his family on the Tennessee lakes. The family moved back to West Virginia, where Webb received a degree in accounting and became involved with retailing and later was president and co-owner of McClung and Morgan store of South Charleston. After leaving the retail business, he joined the Terramite Corp. as national sales manager, also traveling internationally. After retirement he and Wanda enjoyed touring several countries. He was an avid outdoorsman and a loving and caring father, grandfather and great-grandfather. He was a member of St. Andrews United Methodist Church.

WILDA EVON TENNEY CHENOWETH Wilda Evon Tenney Chenoweth, peacefully achieved the ultimate victory April 11, 2013, at the Emogene Dolin Jones Hospice House after a brief illness. Wilda was born Jan. 29, 1924, the fourth of 11 children of the Reverend Albert Law and Viola Gooden Tenney. She was born in a Methodist parsonage in Buckhannon, W.Va., during the time her father was serving as a student pastor while attending West Virginia Wesleyan College. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by an infant great-grandson, Graham Albert Noe; sisters: Alma (Joe) Cox, Ina (John) Hersman, Lena (Wayman) Cousins, and Agnes Payne; and a brother-in law, Joe Glen Harrison. Wilda is survived by her beloved husband of 60 years, the Reverend Robert James (Jim) Chenoweth Jr.; five children, Helen Evon (JR) Chapman of Chattanooga, Tenn., Mildred Ruth (John) Aluise of Huntington, Roberta Jean (Ron) Ferguson of Kenova, Robert James Chenoweth III (Becky) of Barboursville, W.Va., and David Law Chenoweth of Huntington; eight grandchildren, Dr. Karrie Anne Barbour of Bridgewater, Va., Seth Alan Barbour of Troutman, N.C., Kory Allison (David) Noe of Chattanooga, Tenn., Mendy Aluise (fiancé Jeff Chapman), John Michael Aluise, Christopher Joseph (Sarah) Aluise of Huntington, Maggie Elizabeth Chenoweth of Barboursville and Morgan Ferguson III of Kenova; as well as one great-grandson, Tate Owen Noe of Chattanooga, Tenn. Surviving siblings include Meta Harrison, Jean (John) Warner, Bettie (Tom) Garvey, Albert (Wanda) Tenney, Paul Tenney, Thomas (Helen) Tenney and brother inlaw William Payne. Additionally,
she is survived by 37 nieces and nephews and families whom she loved dearly; a special friend, Rick Knight, and a host of wonderful friends who blessed and enriched her life. While attending West Virginia Wesleyan College, she earned a medal for volleyball which later in life earned her the nickname, "Wild Wilda the Wesleyan Wonder." After earning the A.B. Degree in Education from West Virginia Wesleyan College in 1948, Wilda began her teaching career in a one-room schoolhouse in Greenbrier County. She met and married the love of her life, Jim, in 1951. She spent the next 35 years teaching in public schools in Pocahontas, Wood, Wyoming, Cabell and Logan Counties. In 1977, she earned a Master of Arts Degree with a major in Elementary Education from Marshall University where she later completed a Reading Specialization in 1986. Wilda was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, dedicated educator, minister's wife, active member of Cross Roads United Methodist Church and friend to many. She will be forever missed and loved by family and a host of friends who praise God for the gift of Wilda Evon Tenney Chenoweth and the beautiful Christian example she lived. The family extends sincere appreciation to Dr. Kevin Yingling and his staff for the excellent care provided Wilda for 24 years, the caring physicians and nurses at Cabell Huntington Hospital, the wonderful staff and friends at Wyngate Senior Living Community and the compassionate angels at the Hospice House. The family also gratefully acknowledges Ginger Sullivan who lovingly assisted and pampered Wilda each Sunday at church. Pastors David Cartwright and Bill DeMoss will forever hold a special place in the hearts of Chenoweth family members for their continued love and spiritual support.

A Celebration of life service was Sunday, April 14, at Cross Roads United Methodist Church with Pastor David Cartwright, Pastor Bill DeMoss, and Pastor Tim Halloran officiating. Private burial was at Spring Hill Cemetery, Huntington. Online condolence may be sent to the family at www.chapmansmortuary.com.

Meeting with Milton Candidates By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON - With the city election coming up May 7, the fire department welcomed candidates Saturday April 13. Mayoral Candidate Jimmy Smith clarified where he stands on the two and four-year-term limits for office. “I think the mayor should be able to stay in office as long as they want, but I disagree with a four-year-term - I want a twoyear-choice for the people,” said Smith. “The people should get to vote every two years on if they want them in there or not.” The local business owner said he would like to offer a suggestion box at city hall and the reinstitution of the Neighborhood Watch. “Signs don’t count - voters count, Smith said to residents. ““It’s your choice who you want in.”
Ready to win votes - Incumbent Mayor Tom Canterbury, candidate for mayor Jimmy Smith, incumbent council members Carl Harshbarger, Pat Wisman, Charlie Conard, candidates for council Frank Mullins, Anthony Cremeans, Robert “Bob” Legg, Cecil Taylor and unopposed Recorder Phyllis Smith pose for a picture during the Meet the Candidates Dinner at the Milton Volunteer Fire Department Saturday April 13. Photo by Justin Waybright Current mayor Tom Canterbury is proud of the work he’s accomplished during his term. He looks forward to doing even more for the city if re-elected. “I’m running on the improve-
ments and way of life I created for families in the city of Milton,” said Canterbury. “Just drive around and look out your window - you will see what’s been done.”
The business owner continued, “I hit the ground running four years ago and haven’t stopped.” There are approximately 1,600 registered voters in Milton. The city will hold its election 6:30 a.m.
to 7:30 p.m. May 7 at city hall. Early voting will start April 24 and end May 4 at city hall during working hours. The city will also offer early voting from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays.
