50 Cents World War II Medal of Honor and Purple Heart recipient Hershel "Woody" Williams is honored at the Ona Post Office.

Veteran's legacy to live forever

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

On Friday a Congressional Medal of Honor recipient walked into the Ona Post Office to the sound of resounding claps.

The community gathered to watch members of the post office honor Hershel "Woody" Williams for his service during World War II. The 90-year-old veteran humbly spoke to the crowd about winning battles, both during and after the war.

"There are 490 medals of honor given out and more than 50 percent of those were given because someone gave their life trying to save another's life," Williams said.

"That bond...That comradeship is one of the most important things to come out of the military."

Behavioral center eyes Milton

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

The city's potential economic driver is revving its engine.

Morris Memorial Hospital in Milton now has a possible tenant, who may just turn the key to unlock the economic future of eastern Cabell County.

A behavioral healthcare organization is eyeing the 76-yearold national historic building.

Representatives with the franchise will soon make their decision on whether to accept a long-term lease on a 10-15-acre section of the 187-acre property toward the eastern side of Milton.

A goal, four-years-in-themaking could soon be accomplished, said Mayor Tom Canterbury.

"We had a meeting with a potential client, and we're expecting a commitment letter," he said. "We have the property, they have the service."

Conard mirrored Canterbury's words.

HOW TO REACH US

l Volume 115 l Issue 50

With 300,000 square feet, 94 acres, 69 clubs, 26 sports and 1,881 students, Cabell Midland High School towers over the rest of West Virginia’s high schools, which the West Virginia Department of Education say average only 728 students per school.

In fact, this year, Cabell Midland wears the crown as the highest enrolling high school in the state, something that principal Kelly Daniels says causes stress, but also increases opportunities for students.

“This is a perfect size school,” Daniels said. “We just have so much to help kids further their life after us.”

Cabell Midland is the result of a merger of Milton and Barboursville High Schools in 1994, and since then has become one of the best high schools in the state.

Known for its fine arts program, which currently holds two state championship band titles and two state championship show choir titles, Cabell Midland boasts a higher than average graduation rate and enough colSEE MIDLAND ON PAGE 14

By Mary Jane “CHRISTMAS, HUSTLE-BUSTLE” Thought for the week: Matthew 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem, of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.

(KJV) If you do not know how to do the hustle-bustle, listen up! There are many ways to do it.

First of all you can put a whole lot into it, or nothing at all. Still interested?

You can visit the town malls, walk and look, and shop and drop, or you can go to one or more places to shop (gift card)

and that takes care of it. You can take it out of your kitchen oven, place a card on it – done. You can sit in your easy chair with your checkbook and send it by mail or you can get on a computer and have it delivered. However you want to do it, it’s still called the hustle- bustle of Christmas gift giving.

Can you imagine 2000 years ago when King Herod received news of a future King to be born that could take his place. He was so upset he ordered his men to destroy all babies under two years of age. What a fearful–type of hustle-bustle the city became.

With such greed of power, one

The Cabell Standard in this life that helps us. When we were younger and my Dad would yell at us to get up because we had to go to school, I was motivated because he only told us once and I didn't want to get in trouble first thing in the morning. I was also motivated to get a job after high school. I knew I had to go to school or get a job. I had even thought about the military and I am glad I got a job. I don't think I would have been motivated to go through basic training but I knew there would be someone who would make me motivated.

Kids need motivated in this day and time to do good and keep on going to school and go on to college or get jobs and support their families.

Being motivated is a key to a creative life and we need more motivated people in this world with big imaginations.

Matthew 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.

This was a time when we ask the big WHY question. Why God allows such tragedy’s to happen to little children, just as the many school shootings that have happened recently in our own time.

We ask the big WHY at the loss of a loved one in a tragic accident here at the holiday season. We, as created humans will not know the answers here on earth.

He asked us to TRUST him, God is still in control and He knows what He is doing.

Italian Preschool Model makes waves in Cabell

By Amanda White For The Cabell Standard

Appalachian District Marketing Manager Cynthia Coles and Appalachian District Manager Mary Sullivan present U.S. Marine Veteran Hershel "Woody" Williams with a framed Medal of Honor stamp.

23, 1945 when he battled through heavy machinegun fire to secure a lane of safe travel for his infantry. Armed with a flamethrower, Williams successfully accomplished the mission that took him more than four hours.

On that same day, American troops raised the U.S. Flag. Victory was had.

In September, he returned to the states where President Harry S. Truman presented him the Congressional Medal of Honor for his service.

For nearly two decades after returning home, the marine fought another battle: the battle of the mind. Images of the gruesome war in Japan haunted the veteran.

However, Williams said he received victory over that battle in 1962.

"I was sitting in church with my family - not a place I wanted to be, because I had a guilt complex - I had killed people, but I was put in that position," he explained.

"But, that day in church, Christ came into my life and gave me a peace I'd never felt before...That was a big change in my life."

"Amens" echoed throughout the Ona Post Office. Tears fell from the faces of many in attendance.

Tuesday,December 17,2013 – Page 3

"I've never went forward alone," Williams said, pointing toward the ceiling. "Someone was protecting me."

Claps and cheers resonated throughout the post office while the audience gave the Medal of Honor recipient a standing ovation. Moments later, Ona Post Office officials presented Williams with a citation from the office of U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller and a commemorative, framed stamp.

"The honor these recipients get has generally been out of adversity," said Post Office Operations Manager Vince Macri.

"We're here to recognize the courage you put on display."

Appalachian District Manager Mary Sullivan shared the sentiment.

"You helped turn back the oppression of tyranny to help us enjoy our freedom," she said.

"It's a privilege for me to be here sitting with you."

When the presentation ended, Williams stood, holding his medal of honor tightly between his fingers. Emotion touched his swollen eyes.

"When I wear this medal...I don't wear it for what I did," he said. "This is in honor of two of the four marines, assigned to protect me, who gave their lives."

Cabell County Schools, in conjunction with the June Harless School of Rural Education, received a $292,494 grant from the West Virginia Board of Education in order to expand the Reggio Emilia PreK model within the district.

The grant money was approved on Nov. 12 to allow for an additional four sites on top of the two existing ones.

“In the Reggio, the child is viewed as strong and as having the potential to learn,” said Joan Adkins, PreK manager for Cabell County Schools. “They drive the instruction through their curiosity and their questions.”

The Reggio model is named after a town in Italy, where Loris Malaguzzi developed it after World War II. Cabell County began their attempt to utilize the Reggio model several years ago, which culminated two years ago, when several members of the Cabell County school district were sponsored by the State Department of Education to go to Italy and see the Reggio model in action.

“It was great to go see it – really see how different it is,” Adkins said. “In the early childhood education field, it is well known. We were looking for a grassroots ef-

fort to bring it back to West Virginia.”

After seeing the Reggio in action, the county moved to Phase Two, which includes professional development for early childhood teachers. This will include, among other things, a trip to the Reggio exhibit in North Carolina and a study in working in the Reggio way.

Next year, Phase Three will begin in the new expeditionary school, a merger of Peyton and Geneva Kent elementary schools that is scheduled to open next fall. The school will be used as an incubator program to train teachers around the state.

Currently, there are two grades at Milton Elementary beginning to follow the Reggio model, as well as the STEM Center at Marshall University.

“We’ve seen very inquisitive work with children,” Adkins said.

“I’ve seen them having very interesting studios.”

Studios consist of student-led research activities that integrate West Virginia standards into the learning process without focusing on them as a standard alone.

This allows students to have a more holistic style of learning that encourages them to ask questions and get genuinely interested in what they are learning.

“You’re encouraging them to research more,” Adkins said. “It’s

more thought provoking. It’s a deeper questioning of everything, not just a project they are working on. You’re not just basing the knowledge on the standards, you are looking at the whole child.”

The goal of the Reggio model is to create life-long learners through fostering an enjoyment of learning. This all begins in the classroom, where Adkins said the learning process begins through aesthetics.

“A lot of it is about the environment,” she said. “It is definitely child centered.”

The Reggio model encourages an environment that is organized with few distractions. It includes more natural light and less harsh lighting, as well as making sure the room is aesthetically pleasing. The room must be child centered, meaning that the furniture, sinks, and other items are sized appropriately for preschoolers.

“It’s just a very calming atmosphere when you go in,” Adkins said.

Adkins said that so far, the STEM center has had great success with using the full Reggio model. The two classes in Milton are starting to use parts of the model, and the expeditionary school will use the full Reggio like the STEM center.

“You want children to learn to problem solve for themselves,” she said. “They’re guiding their learning instead of being guided.”

Teachers incorporate technology in classrooms

their phones for educational purposes, like recording video projects and voice data for their progression in learning the Spanish language,” Spanish teacher Lindsey Foster said.

Administration at Cabell Midland is allowing more technology to be used in classrooms, such as cell phones and laptops.

“Every teacher is allowed to give students permission on their phone for those classroom purposes,” Foster said. “The staff is now giving us teacher discretion.”

While more technology is allowed in the classroom, teachers are also becoming stricter on the allowance of their students’ phones.

“I will allow any of my students on their smart phone as long as they don’t disobey the school’s policies and rules,” Foster said.

Foster also tries to help students with studying for tests by putting many quiz notes and games for students online to study at their house.

“More and more students are on a smart phone and laptop, and by uploading these to a computer, the students will probably look at the study guides online,”

History teacher Billy Williams uses his classroom’s new technology to teach his class. Teachers allow students to use technology such as computers and phones for class.

Foster said.

While teachers are giving new opportunities in the classroom, students are taking these electronics to gain an advantage.

“It is easier for me to use a lot of the electronics I have,” sophomore Perry Oxley said. “The teacher provides us with many digital calculators and it makes graphing and equations much easier.”

These new advancements in a classroom are new to students and the new instruction strategies have made some excited for school.

“I’m excited to go to my classes now,” Oxley said. “We do more activities with our phones, and it makes these assignments even more fun.”

Wrestler breaks school record, eyes another

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

During the Charleston Invitational Middle School Wrestling Tournament, a two-time county champion walked onto the mat and pinned his opponent in four seconds.

Robbie Holley, a student at Milton Middle broke the record for the fastest pin in school history.

Many are saying it was the fastest in state history among middle schools.

The team placed third in the event and wrestlers Noah Myers, Jordan King and Chaston Holley also won their individual matches during the tournament.

Like many serious athletes, Holley's will to win is unshakeable.

He eats, sleeps and breathes wrestling.

Holley grew up training with his father Rob and cousin Garland Holley.

"I've been wrestling so long that it's a skill I know how to do, and my speed helps me," he said.

"We grappled, I tripped him and took him straight back and the ref. got there in time," Holley recalled. "After pinning him, I immediately looked at the clock and saw four seconds - I got so excited I almost cried...I knew I beat the record."

Richie Lanham is proud of Holley and his team. He is still shocked by the fast pin.

Thundertones focus on harmony, musical styles

By Jenna Adkins For The Cabell Standard

Throughout the decades music styles have evolved and artists have transformed to suit younger generations, but the Thundertones Barbershop Harmony Society finds new ways to captivate audiences of all ages.

“The Thundertones Harmony Society is a chorus which consists of about 30 local members,” Director Steve Patrick said. “Our chorus is broken down into several quartets by members who want to sing in a smaller group together.”

While it is commonly misconceived that barbershop harmonies are directed toward older generations, The Thundertones

welcome members of all ages or either gender.

“We do not have an age limit for our members,” he said. “Our youngest member is 17 years old and our oldest is 85. We vary in interests and lifestyles which keeps singing together interesting.”

The Thundertones typically have two major performances, including the May show and the annual Christmas special that it performed recently.

“The chorus will travel to competitions against other societies, but we typically have two shows each year,” Patrick said. “We practice every Thursday from 79:30 p.m.”

While practices take a generous amount of time, members like the friendly atmosphere that

About 30 members participate in the Thundertones Barbershop Harmony Society. The group practices weekly and has two performances, a May show and the annual Christmas special. is relaxing and enjoyable for everyone. The music does not strictly follow the traditional guidelines of the barbershop style, however.

“Rather than singing normal barbershop songs, we decided to mix other traditional music styles into our performances, such as Jazz or Broadway,” he said.

The Barbershop harmony is a four-part acapella, meaning it does not involve instruments, and focuses on chord structure.

“I enjoy listening and being a part of the creation of the ringing sound achieved when all of the

members’ voices synchronize,” Patrick said.

The Thundertones enjoy performing for young audiences to reveal older styles of music that are appropriate and not stereotypical. Their shows are often humorous and include a small skit to help captivate all ages.

“We learn new songs each year, but we commonly will keep the most popular items to perform in a later skit,” he said. “We encourage others to become active in our society around January so they have the ability to learn the songs and meet everyone before performance day.”

Patrick has had the advantage of directing the Thundertones and performing with them at schools, churches and weddings

over the years.

“I have always loved music and pursued a degree in being a music director,” he said.

Internationally, there are over 23,000 members of the Barbershop Harmony Society, but the Thundertones Chorus is prominent in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio and Virginia.

“I specifically know of one branch of our society in Alexandria, Va. that will travel far out of their local area, even to Russia, to sing in competitions,” Patrick said.

2536 MAIN STREET • HURRICANE, WV PHONE 562-5111 New windows grace facilities at the Woodlands Retirement Community in Huntington. Soon, new siding will cover the exterior. Officials with the organization can now close on a loan to fund the $23 million project after receiving approval from the county.

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

The Woodlands Retirement Community is undergoing a major facelift.

Senior residents already see new windows and will soon notice new exterior siding on the facility.

The $23 million project officially moved forward after Cabell County commissioners approved the resolution to issue the Commercial Development Improvement and Refunding Revenue Bond for the Foster Foundation, the nonprofit organization that oversees the retirement community.

The bond will allow the borrower a low rate of interest and a tax exemption for the loan. Officials with the Foster Foundation hope to close on the loan at Peoples Bank, set at a 3.74 percent interest rate, according to the resolution.

"This refinances the existing debt on the facility and adds $6 million to improvements of the facility - all at a lower interest rate," said Fred Williams, the bond counsel with Steptoe and Johnson.

Williams hopes to close on the loan Thursday.

As renovations continue, the project gets closer and closer to completion. Yet, replacing the 15year-old wooden siding has become a challenge, said Dan Konrad, counsel representing the nonprofit.

"They are starting section by section, and piece by piece, replacing the wood, so as not to expose the exterior to the weather," the Huddleston Bolen attorney said "It takes longer this way, but we're trying to do it right."

Both Konrad and Williams hope to see the overhaul at Woodlands completed within the next 18 months to two years.

Cabell County Commissioner Bob Bailey said, "It's a great place,

you all are doing a great job and we certainly appreciate you."

Next, Tim Keaton, county grant coordinator informed commissioners about amendments to the Floodplain Ordinance. The last amendments to the county ordinance occurred in 2007.

According to Keaton, the language will stay the same and no changes will affect residents and builders in Cabell County.

"There were very little things mostly just state and federal code to simplify things," he said.

"There's no change to building

Students in the Interior Design program at the Cabell County Career Technology Center have once again successfully displayed their work as part of the Paramount Art Center’s Festival of Trees and Trains. The students take this opportunity each year to showcase their skills by designing and creating a unique Christmas tree, based on the theme of the event.

This theme for this year’s tree is “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch”. Their tree portrays the moment when the Grinch is stealing Whoville’s infamous Christmas tree. The students wanted the tree to have a whimsical feel in honor of the Whos and their out-of-this-world Christmas style, therefore they used unique items such as lollipops, swirly straws, and party blowers to add to the elaborate decor. In order to properly stabilize the tree the group sought the assistance of our Building Technologies Academy instructor and students to construct the base.

The tree was displayed at the Festival of Trees and Trains at the Paramount Arts Center November 23- December 1, 2013.

The interior design students who created the project include: Josh Legg, Ashley Cowan, Jazzmen McCallister, and Brittany McCallister. They would like to offer their special thanks to Mr. Bret Masters and his Building Technologies Academy students: Andrew Adkins, Jacob Crutcher, Dylan Kelly, Nick Spurlock, Garrett Blakenship, and Kalab Puskas. Also Mrs. Lou Etta Bowen and the Interior Design students: Megan Chafin, Stephanie Scarberry, Jazzmen McCallister, Brittany McCallister, and Alyssa Roberts.

Fellowship Baptist Church Christmas Blessings! celebrates Christmas Jackson Bros.

Carpet

By Jenna Adkins For The Cabell Standard

Fellowship Baptist Church of Barboursville celebrated the Christmas story with their community through their annual program that includes a skit and festive songs by their church members.

“For the Christmas program theme, the church members and I chose a 1940s Christmas Homecoming,” said Joyce Warren, music director. “It included important aspects of life including sacrifice and love.”

The play centered around a small community and focuses on a particular family that is experiencing the struggles of war.

“In this skit Lieutenant Berry was sent away to serve in the war and save lives, which relates to Christ being sent to the world to save his people,” Warren said.

Warren is the Music Director of the church and chose a variety of songs that are popular during the Holiday season. The Dec. 17 program included thirteen song selections, including a 1940s trio.

“We chose music from a decade that is still admired today,” she said. “Some of the popular song selections were ‘This Christmas,’ ‘Silent Night’ and ‘I’ll be Home for Christmas.’”

The Christmas Program took five months of planning and rehearsal, and the excitement for the performance day continues to grow in the church and community.

“This program was important to me because it allows the church to spread the Gospel in an exciting way while teaching the meaning of Christmas,” Warren said.

The Christmas program consisted of 55 church members with designated skits in the play and over 20 stage crew members.

“I played the part of Lieutenant Berry,” Pastor Jason Harris said. “I was sent off to enemy lines on a mission during World War II.” Each member of the church became involved with the program in hopes of creating a fun event for the church and community.

“The play depicted the Gospel well and I enjoy being able to relay that message to the crowd,” Harris added.

MILTON FROM PAGE 1 before the tenant moves in. The work will not cost the city.

Morris Memorial spans across acres of land. Hallways, various rooms and high ceilings sprawl throughout the interior of the long complex.

Because the former hospital and nursing home has stood vacant for five years, cosmetic damage has set in. However, the bones of the masonry structure are intact. Much of the foundation sits on bedrock, said Randy Rutledge, city storm water coordinator.

"The foundation is solid," he said. "The walls and shell of the building are in great shape.”

Conard agreed.

“Everything’s here,” he said.

“It’s just got to be re-done, renovated and brought back up to

Canterbury said leasing is the preferred method the city will use for future tenants of the property. He believes it's a more

effective and stable method than an outright sale.

"Once you sell it, that's it, it's gone forever," the mayor said.

"With leasing, we will have income every month."

Conard seemed onboard with the plan. He views Morris Memorial as one of the region's hidden gems.

"This may be one of the only assets Milton's got to build on," the councilmember said.

Speaking of building, the city plans to construct a new 1-mile walking path to circle the property. It's a project Canterbury believes will amp the appeal of the land even more.

"Anytime you can make something more attractive, people will look at it and be more drawn to it," the mayor said.

"This will not only be a draw for clients, residents and employees, but for potential businesses too."

The trail should be completed by spring, he said. It will be funded through a $40,000 state grant with a 20 percent match from the city.

The council must choose a bid from one of three companies: Eastham and Associates, E.L. Robinson or Thrasher Engineering. Then, design and construction of the trail will begin.

"We may want to put a few benches and some nice lighting around the trail to help boost its appeal," Canterbury said.

The mayor looked toward a map of Morris Memorial and spoke with confidence about its future.

"We've got this candle here to light...We're striking the match...Now, we're just trying to get her to burn," Canterbury said.

Salvation Army needs your help The Salvation Army is working hard to help the community this holiday season. This past month they’ve been helping residents with clothing, food and energy assistance. Now, they're kicking it into high gear to gather toys for children in the community. But, what they need most right now is your help.

“We have over 400 angels that have not been adopted,” said Major Darrell Kingsbury, Area Commander for The Salvation Army. Angels can be adopted at Charleston Town Center on the second level near Talbot's store.

With a decrease in donations at the kettles, Christmas is looking bleak for the Charleston, WV Salvation Army. With just twenty days to raise their goal of $250,000, The Salvation Army needs the help of local residents.

Area residents are asked to volunteer to ring bells at a kettle location, drop donations in the red kettles or to mail a check to their local Salvation Army office at PO Box 6130 Charleston, WV 25362. Volunteers can donate as little as two hours service, or as much as they like. There is no maximum. Call 304-343-4548 x 113 to volunteer. Major Darrell Kingsbury said “This community has always proven that it has a generous heart and spirit.

I know they will come through for us during this time of need.

We believe that, with the generosity of this community, we can attain our goal for this season and the upcoming year.”

For all of us, especially this year, the best prescription is to make Christmas a celebration of love and giving and to find in the season the truth that it is more blessed to give than to receive. By participating in The Salvation Army’s Christmas campaign, you can give a special Christmas present to your community. Working together, we can make wishes come true this Christmas. Over 1500 children in Kanawha, Putnam, Clay and Roane counties are expecting gifts and toys from The Salvation Army this season. Your help is needed to make these dreams come true.

The Salvation Army works in many ways to give help to all who need assistance. Programs during the holidays include entertainment and companionship for nursing home residents, blankets for the homeless, meals for people who would be alone on Christmas Day, and toys and clothing for children from families who cannot afford such luxuries.

MIDLAND FROM PAGE 1 lege credit opportunities to allow motivated students to pursue lofty educational goals before ever stepping foot outside of the high school.

“We have students who can leave here and have enough college credits that they don’t start as freshman,” Daniels said.

Daniels said that the school pays for Advanced Placement (AP) credits, but that parents must pay for dual credit courses, although they are offered at a largely reduced rate.

“To take advantage of those opportunities is amazing,” she said.

Assistant Superintendent Todd Alexander said that Midland provides tremendous opportunities for students.

“You’re not going to find an-

other high school in the state that offers a larger variety of courses than what they offer at Cabell Midland,” he said.

One of the many students taking advantage of Midland’s opportunities is senior Autumn Diehl, who among other things, is on the reigning Real World Design State Champion Team as well as the student body president.

“I love Cabell Midland,” she said. “It allows us to have a lot more opportunities because there are more kids. I have a lot of friends who have the same interests as I do.”

The extracurricular involvement does more than just prepare students for college, as evidenced by freshman student William Beverage, whose mother

Samantha, said the transition to high school was overall, very easy.

“I think his involvement in the band really helped that,” she said. “He was really anxious starting high school but so far has had a great first half of year.”

While there are a large variety of opportunities at the school, Alexander said the size of the school could make some of them inaccessible to students.

“I think there are kids that would participate in activities in smaller communities who don’t have the skill to compete with so many other students,” he said. “If you were in a smaller school, your chance of being chosen for teams would increase. There just are not enough spots for everyone.”

Coordinating a school with so many unique opportunities is no easy job, and Daniels relies on her administrative staff, which includes an associate principal and four assistant principals.

“It’s a lot of organization and a lot of help,” she said. “Everybody knows what their ball of wax is.”

Duties are spread among the other principals, with Daniels acting as overall overseer.

Each assistant principal is responsible for a grade level’s discipline, and one of the assistants also help the associate principal with curriculum, testing and the master schedule. The other three assistants each take on athletics, special education, or the grounds, and they all rotate evenings to make sure someone from administration is present at

all after school functions.

“On any given night, there are three to four events here,” Daniels said. “I can’t be everywhere at once. I’m lucky I have people I trust in positions I need them in.”

Although a part of the administration’s job is to be present at functions and events, it is not all fun and games. Like any other school, Cabell Midland has its own problems, including occasional fighting, drug issues, and bullying.

Overall, however, Daniels says the problem is small and contained, with tardiness being the most commonly seen infraction of school policy.

“I think kids feel secure going to the administrators,” said Diehl, adding that the small amounts of bullying she has seen in the last four years were always handled immediately.

“It’s something we take very seriously,” Daniels said. “We’re very quick to get things taken care of.”

Midland has multiple systems in place to prevent disciplinary problems, including drug and alcohol prevention in health classes and ninth grade academy, their “No Knight Stands Alone” character education program for bullying prevention and their hall monitoring program which helps to stop and prevent tardiness.

Discipline is not the largest issue on Midland’s plate, as the state’s Department of Education has recently declared Cabell Midland a “focus school” for academic improvement.

Focus schools on the high school level are characterized by a gap in graduation rates between its majority population and at-risk population, a population that includes students with special needs and students of a lower socio-economic status.

There is currently a 40 percent gap, and the administration must find a way to lower the gap by 6 percent each year until 2020.

Daniels said she works with a leadership team of 21 teachers and three administrators, all of who meet every Tuesday morning. They also have afterschool work sessions where they write goals and plan improvements, one of which involves increasing the effectiveness of their coteachers, teachers who are certified in special education who work alongside curriculum teachers to ensure the needs of every student are met.

While Daniels is proud of her staff and students, she said the next five years are going to include constant improvements in the school.

“Our graduation rate is going to continue being one of the highest in West Virginia,” she said. “We’re going to work on closing the gap that the state has pointed out to us. But most importantly, I think we’re going to prepare these kids for the world after us.”

Christian's Sports Beat: From the Gridiron to the Nation’s Capital

By: Christian Deiss

Walking in the halls of the U.S. Senate these days is one of the biggest sports fan in West Virginia. Senator Joe Manchin roots and follows all of West Virginia’s sports teams from high school to college.

Recently Senator Manchin came to my school, Mountain View Elementary (Scott Depot) to talk to my fellow fourth grade classmates and allowed me to interview him for this week’s column. First off I asked Senator Manchin if he still has time to keep up with West Virginia University and Marshall Sports.

Manchin answered, “I watch every day, I read the sports page every day. I follow the sports world very carefully. West Virginia had a very difficult season this year, we have to rebuild and get good again. Marshall has done a tremendous job and going to a bowl game is awe-

some.” Manchin’s Washington, DC office is less than an hour away from Annapolis, Maryland the site of the Military Bowl that has Marshall facing Maryland on December 27.

Speaking of West Virginia and Marshall, when Senator Manchin was governor, he helped start the Coal Bowl football game, between the two arch rivals, which isn’t played anymore after seven straight years. I asked what he thought it would take to get the big game started again, “I really don’t know. I am a little discouraged that they are not playing. It was the greatest game we had in our state. It was a game we had two rivals in our state very highly respected schools and it was always a sellout at either stadium. It got fans together; sometimes you had members of the same family that were rooting for the two different squads. Some were wearing blue and gold and some were wearing green and white.”

I have learned that high school sports can help communities recover after disasters rock a local area. In 1968, the Farmington Mine Disaster took place killing 78 miners in Marion County.

Senator Manchin grew up in the small coal town, losing his uncle and former classmates and teammates he went to school with at Farmington High School in the mine explosion. Manchin explained how high school

Christian interviews Senator Joe Manchin at Mountain View Elementary School.

Photo by Kelly Stadelman sports can help keep a community together during a rough time, “That event as you know was very dear and close to me.

Any time in West Virginia a tragedy occurs and hardships fall upon a community, everyone pulls together and forgets about who they were mad at and band together as one and a Friday night football game always gets a community excited and heal.”

Manchin graduated from Farmington High School in 1965 before heading off to WVU on a football scholarship.

At WVU, the young Manchin was an up and coming quarterback on the Mountaineer squad before he sustained a career ending knee injury prior to his sophomore year. Manchin told me he had fond memories of

playing under center for WVU, “It was something, I had a good opportunity but it all ended when I got hurt, but I really thought it was a privilege for me to get a scholarship to go and learn and play ball at WVU, which was always my dream.”

While the injury stopped him from playing football it got Manchin focused on other opportunities in life, “Well sports would’ve run out sooner or later and politics is something that is with us all of our lives, whether you are involved or not. So I would encourage everyone to understand how politics work, the government, the constitution, so it’s important and necessary to have people involved in the process.”

Manchin followed in the foot-

steps of two National Football League Hall of Famers at Farmington High - Frank Gatski and Sam Huff - and noted that it was unique that a small West Virginia high school would produce two all-time football greats, “Those were two of my idols growing up and I was thinking if they could play in the NFL coming from Farmington, surely I could do it too. It just made me think if you work hard enough and you practice hard enough and you are determined enough, no matter where you come from you can succeed.”

Everyone who reads this column knows I root for the Dallas Cowboys and Baltimore Orioles, so I wanted to know what teams Senator Manchin cheered for growing up, “The Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Pirates, because where I grew up in West Virginia, Pittsburgh was our closest major city so it just seemed natural to root for them.”

It’s every little boy’s dream to be president someday and Senator Manchin isn’t far away from that office, but he told me it probably wasn’t going to happen, “I think that time has passed. What I want to be able to do is help our country as much as I can in the position I am in today as Senator.”

I had fun interviewing Senator Manchin and having him come to my school. It was an experience I won’t forget anytime soon.

Tough start costs Knights in loss at Huntington

Senior Jacob Perry came off the bench to score seven points in Cabell Midland's 78-51 loss at Huntington.

Members of the 2013-14 Cabell Midland Cheerleaders include in front, left to right, Tiana Workman, Mariyah Chaffin, Biz Patrick, Caitlin Henson, and Kenzi Niebergall and in the second row, Brooke Ballengee, Lexie Deskins, Brittany Ballengee, Sopie Adkins, and Sarah Eaves. This year's cheer coach is Ashlee Woomer.

By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com

Cabell Midland’s opening game looked more like a final exam than a first-day test, but the Knights did learn a few lessons during their evening at Huntington High.

Coming off a 7-17 campaign, Midland started the 2013-14 season with a road contest against a team expected to be among this year’s Class AAA title contenders.

After Huntington jumped out to a 25-5 lead early in the second quarter, the Knights stopped the bleeding somewhat before falling 78-51.

Coach Matt Stead acknowledged it wasn’t an ideal opener, but still wasn’t happy that his team finished the first quarter with nine turnovers and just five points. Cabell Midland turned the ball over 28 times overall.

“You can’t do that,” Stead said.

“When you play teams like this, they do a great job of taking you out of what you want to do. They push you out farther; don’t let

you get into your offense. Speed like that, you can’t simulate that in practice.”

Following the rough start, though, Cabell Midland found some rhythm, with senior Jacob Perry coming off the bench to score five of his seven points in the second quarter and junior Keegan Adkins getting nine of his 12 in the second half. Sophomore point guard Cole Tilley added eight points, and Coy Pettit had six.

“My role is to when I come in, No. 1 shoot the ball,” Perry said.

“Get us going. We started out a little bit nervous and bad. We got better, but we dug ourselves too big a hole.”

Adkins admitted the team felt some pressure early on.

“You’re thinking it’s a rivalry game, and there’s a lot of pressure on you,” he said. “You want to impress the student body, your teammates.”

The team also is adjusting to an offense that is “95 percent” new, with its debut against an exceptionally athletic Highlanders squad.

“Everybody can shoot real well,” Adkins said of the up side.

“We’ve got a real deep bench.”

Stead said he thought the team settled in later in the game.

“You can nitpick a possession here or there, a rebound, but after the first quarter I saw some positive things,” he said, noting Tilley’s play in his first start was among those. “If people don’t see how good he is, I don’t know what they’re watching. He wasn’t afraid, wasn’t scared at all making his first start against a top four team.”

J.R. Howard led Huntington with 23 points, and Tavian Martin added 18. The Highlanders played without two starters who haven’t gotten in enough practices following a football title game run, so the Feb. 6 rematch at Midland won’t be any easier.

In the junior varsity game, the Knights battled and stayed close until the end before losing 49-42.

Collin Bellamy led the team with 13 points, while Logan Poynter, Kirk Jennings and Kenyan Nelson had eight each.
