Cabell calendar changes

By Amanda White For The Cabell Standard

Cabell County Superintendent William Smith announced new requirements for the school calendar that might cause the county some problems next year.

“Some of the changes are very difficult to implement,” he said, addressing the board of education during the Dec. 17 meeting.

“The difference is that this legislation does not give you the option to have less than 180 instructional days.”

In the past, 180 instructional days was required from the legislature, but could be lessened if needed due to emergency school closings. With the mandatory 180 days required now, the schools will have to provide the full amount of instructional time, even if it means going over a teacher’s contract and going beyond the scheduled calendar year.

Family opens recycling business

Next to a 950-pound block of aluminum cans, stands a father and son who know recycling.

Al and Allen Howard opened Metal Center Recycling, a business built upon two lifetimes of knowledge and experience.

First, the father-and-son team bought a 2-1/2-acre property in Milton, along James River Turnpike. They started work on their new facility in October.

After one month of renovation, upgrades and equipment imports, their vision is reality.

Now, a one-of-kind facility with covered material areas and a drive thru greets customers.

Three warehouses give crews the ability to recycle copper, brass, aluminum and steel.

Next month, a new roof will cover the steel yard on the concrete-covered property.

(KJV) With all the frenzy at this time of year - people visiting, shopping, baking, parties, all that occurs around the busy Christmas season - did you ever stop and wonder what it was like 2000 years ago for this young girl named Mary, chosen by God to give birth to a child without knowing her Joseph? Who would BELIEVE such a story?

Can you imagine what thoughts may have gone thru her mind? She was a young human girl – confused of what was happening to her body. What would people think of her? She may have had

thoughts to end her life, but she BELIEVED the angel thru God. So many young women today find out they are pregnant and do not know where to turn for help.

Based on available state-level data ,in 2011 there were 1.06 million legal abortions performed in the U.S. What a staggering number.

BELIEVE - this is the key word in the whole word of the Bible.

This pure young girl was chosen

by God himself, for the mother of Jesus. He gave her peace and comfort, by telling her what to do, He guided her to visit Elizabeth (the future mother of John the Baptist) who gave her encouragement and advice, believing in her, telling her she was blessed among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

loved God and believed in Him. I have tried to think about Mary and what she was thinking when the Angel came and told her she would be with child before she knew her husband Joseph. The Bible doesn't tell us everything, but one day we will know what God wants us to know. Mary wanted the Lord’s will be done and she said, be it unto me according to thy word - Luke 1:38.

I love the Christmas carols and the bright lights at Christmas as it reminds us that Jesus is the Light of the world! It is very hard to hide a light. In this world of darkness and fright and trials and problems it is great to know that Jesus came into the world to save sinners.

Jesus could have come highly and with great pomp, but He came lowly in a cattle stall because there was no room for Him in the Inn. Mary and Joseph went to Bethlehem to be taxed as it was decreed

by Caesar Augustus. God has perfect timing and Mary gave birth to Jesus at exactly the time that the Father wanted Him to be born.

Some people are discouraged at Christmas time as their family members have passed on or they have bad memories of times gone by. The only advice I have for this is to look forward not backward.

All of us have bad memories but the Lord can help with all our problems.

What if that baby was not born at all? We would all be so miserable. I am glad that Jesus was born and at Christmas time. Take time to say thank you to Jesus for coming to Earth from the ivory palaces to live among sinful people so that we might have eternal life.

Transition schools exhibit growth

By Amanda White For The Cabell Standard

Seven Cabell County Schools classified as transition schools have experienced growth during the past year.

“We want to applaud each of your schools for the growth you’ve had this year,” said Suzanne Oxley, Cabell County School Board President. “We do realize this isn’t exactly black and white.”

During the Dec. 17 Local School Improvement Council Meeting each school talked about their successes and challenges over the past year. The schools included Huntington High School, Milton Middle School, Martha Elementary, Meadows Elementary, Milton Elementary, Salt Rock Elementary and the Village of Barboursville Elementary School.

Under the current system, schools are judged on student growth and assigned a status by the state. These include priority schools, support schools, focus schools, transition schools and success schools. The worst designation is priority and the best is success.

“You have to look and make sure that all groups are sharing growth,” said Barboursville Elementary Principal Theresa Blake.

“You have to show growth, not just meeting a standard.”

Jeff Smith, assistant superintendent said the transition schools receive additional support from the district.

“In February we will be visiting each school leadership team to see if they need help,” he said.

According to Smith, transition schools are examined every year

Assistant Superintendents Todd Alexander, Jeff Smith and Michael O’Dell listen to presentations by seven Cabell County transition schools at the annual LSIC meeting required by state legislation. to determine if their designation will change.

All of the transition schools are required to submit a strategic plan that outlines their plan to improve the school. Each strategic plan is focused around three core goals – rigor, relevance and relationships.

Milton Middle School Principal Dan Gleason said the three goals are combined when working on improving the school.

“It’s all about rigor, relevance and relationships,” he said, adding that they used those goals to formulate their intervention techniques for at-risk students.

“The three administrators and two counselors took about 60 students who are at risk. Each of us has been working with about a dozen students.

“We think we’re seeing a lot of success with those students in the

second term with the intervention. It has worked real well so far.”

Milton Middle School Assistant Principal Travis Austin said that this style increases the relationships the principals have with individual children.

“It gives us an opportunity to sit beside them,” Austin said, also saying that the students are at first surprised to talk to the assistant principal without being disciplined. “It’s different than discipline. They realize we’re on their side and they and the parents are really appreciative.”

Many of the transition schools are using positive reinforcement disciplinary models to cut down on disciplinary problems.

Milton Elementary has a positive behavior program called “BUGS” and uses golden tickets as rewards.

“Our disciplinary problems have declined over the last three years,” said Principal Kim Cooper.

Barbourville Elementary, on the other hand, is still determining which program to use. Blake said that overall, she has few disciplinary problems and she uses interventionists to help where needed.

“Typically, students start to fall out in second and third grade,” she said. “Every day, every second and third grade classroom has an interventionist for forty minutes.”

Additionally, Blake says that parents carry a tremendous role in ensuring the success of their children.

“I personally feel a school is only as good as their parent involvement,” she said. “I respect my parents. We need parents as much as parents need us. We need help from parents for student achievement and we depend

on parents to provide a lot of additional things for our children.”

One of the programs Barboursville Elementary is using to motivate students is the voluntary Accelerated Reader program. Accelerated Reader is a program that tests students’ reading comprehension on books they’ve read and gives them points based on their comprehension. The more difficult the book they read, the more points possible for them to get.

“They’re not required to do it,” Blake said. “But we feel like the more children read, the better they’ll be. We try to encourage them to know that it opens the world to them.”

Blake and her instructional team, a group of teachers representing all grade levels that help make curricular and disciplinary decisions, created a four tiered system for AR points. Students are assigned a tier based on grade level, as younger grades require fewer points.

The tiers include Blue Ribbon Reader, Star Reader, Wall Reader and Principals Corner. 156 students made the middle of the year goal and were rewarded by making a healthy snack together in the cafeteria. The next nine weeks will include a trip to Pump up the Fun and the last nine weeks will include a field trip to the Boy Scout camp.

“My goal is to be a success school,” Blake said. “We have good students, we really do.”

The next LSIC meeting is on Jan. 21 and will include delegations from Nichols and Ona Elementary schools. The meetings are open to the public and begin at 4 P.M.

The city of Milton employees gathered at the Milton Volunteer Fire Department on Dec. 20 to enjoy the annual Christmas Luncheon. The city provided the lunch as an appreciation for the employee’s hard work. The dinner was catered by Shonet’s of Milton. The city workers ate chicken, mashed potatoes, rolls and other refreshments. City council members also joined in for the holiday fun.

Barboursville Mayor Paul Turman and Police Chief Mike Coffey welcome James Scarberry as the city's newest police officer.

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

The Barboursville Police Department is now at full force.

It has 18 officers, the most it's had in more than six years. The city hired its newest officer James Scarberry Tuesday evening.

The military veteran is ready to serve Barboursville.

"I enjoy making a difference in the community," he said.

The local family man said his goal begins with children.

"If you can get to the kids now it can prevent them from messing up when they get older," Scarberry said.

Barboursville council members seemed excited about adding the officer.

"He's met all the requirements with four years experience and eight years in the military," said Mayor Paul Turman. "You're not just a new kid on the block you've had some extensive experience."

Barboursville Police Chief Mike Coffey is proud to have a full team. This marks the first time during his 8-year term that he has fielded a department this large.

"Having a department at fullstrength will give us more leeway in helping cover shifts and overtime," Coffey said. "It's actually cheaper to hire an officer than it is

to pay existing ones overtime."

The department is ready to handle the increased personnel. It has 18 cruisers that are streetready.

"We're in a good position now," Coffey said.

Council members took time to reflect on the blessings of 2013.

One-by-one, each spoke.

"I thank all the employees of Barboursville for a great year," said councilmember Donnie Plybon. "We're the envy of a lot of cities that don't have what we do."

Turman agreed.

"I want to thank the staff and all those in the office - you all do a great job with the public," he said.

"We've had a good year."

Christian's Sports Beat: Let’s Go “Bowling”

By: Christian Deiss

This Friday the Marshall University Thundering Herd will be playing the University of Maryland Terrapins in the 2013 Military Bowl being played at the Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, Maryland. This will be the Herd’s 11th bowl game and the first in this post-season contest.

Just over a week ago, I caught up with Thundering Herd Head Coach Doc Holliday and Marshall Quarterback Rakeem Cato while the entire team was helping with a Christmas toy drive at the Barboursville Wal-Mart. I asked Coach Holliday how he is preparing his team for the big game, “Number one we are really excited to get this opportunity to play in this bowl game, it’s one of the biggest bowl games Marshall has ever played in. We are getting ready to play a quality ACC opponent in Maryland. I know our players are extremely excited. We’ll be practicing just about every day until the game on the 27th.”

This is the Herd’s second bowl game under Holiday, winning in 2011 over the Florida International University Panthers 20-10 in the Beef “O” Brady’s bowl.

Coach Holliday has faced Maryland 27 times in his collegiate career, twice as a player at West Virginia University and 25

times as an assistant coach football coach at N.C. State, WVU or Florida. “I know they have great players. I know they are very well coached; Randy Edsell is a good coach that I have known for a very long time. I know he will have them well prepared. They have a lot of athletes out there running around, but so do we - so we have to be ready to go play.”

This will be Marshall’s second game against an ACC opponent this season, opening up against Virginia Tech, losing to the Hokies 29 -21 in triple overtime.

Marshall (9-4) won the Conference USA East Division title this season, before losing to Rice in the conference championship game. I asked the Hurricane native how good he thought his team played overall this season, “At times we played extremely well, other times I think we could’ve played a little better. But I think this is the first time in 11 years that we had a chance to play for a championship. We’ve made progress, we are not where we want to be because our ultimate goal was to win that championship and we didn’t get that done. The bowl game gives us a chance to come back and go for our tenth win this season.” The Herd is 73 all-time in bowl games.

The Thundering Herd’s conference leading offense was led all season by junior signal caller Rakeem Cato. I asked the young quarterback, on a scale of one to ten, to describe how he thought the team played this season, “An eight, it should’ve been a ten but we left a few games out there on the field that we should have won.” Cato was named the 2013 Conference-USA Offensive Player of the Year, after being named second team all-conference quarterback behind East Carolina’s

Shane Carden.

For almost two weeks, Marshall has been putting in a lot of hard work and effort preparing for the bowl game. Cato told me how game preparation is going, “We are just practicing hard, going over some new things, going over new plays and just getting everything squared away with the offense.”

Without giving away any surprises, Coach Holliday agreed with his quarterback, “I can’t tell you or Maryland would be able to read about it, but we just have to go and do what we do and that is to stay balanced between the run and pass and defensively we need to tackle extremely well to keep Maryland from getting any big plays.”

The bowl game gives the players an extra game to play on top of the regular season and championship game. Holliday explained how special the opportunity is for his team, “To play football is a lot of hard work, they spend a lot of time in the weight room, the players work about 365 days a year for the chance to play 12 games to get to the 13th and the championship game and then to a bowl game so it’s a reward for the player’s hard work.” From the players point of view, Cato made it clear to me how special it is to play in a bowl game, “We all think it is very special, not only for the team but for the whole Marshall community.”

The Military Bowl will be televised nationally on ESPN. So this Friday, December 27th while visiting my grandparents and aunt in North Carolina for the Christmas holidays, I will be watching the game and rooting for the green and white to bring home the Military Bowl trophy.

Let’s Go Herd and Merry Christmas everyone!

To bank enough days in preparation for snow days, the school board may consider elongating the school day.

According to Smith, kindergarten through fourth grade is required to have 315 instructional minutes, fifth and sixth grades are required to have 330 minutes, seventh and eighth are required to have 335 minutes and high schools are required to have 345 minutes. By elongating the days, the school district could bank minutes per day together to equal a full day of instructional time.

“It may require us to change bus runs to see if we can bank more time,” Smith said.

The new legislation requires the board to have two public hearings about the school calendar before turning it in prior to the May 1 due date. These meetings will take place in Spring and will be announced to the media for publication.

“We’re really just looking at the guidance right now,” Smith said. “What I’ve done is talk to the staff to see what issues we have to work out. We have enough time to really start thinking about it.”

In addition to school calendar issues, school board members also signed a resolution to the state legislature to support a wage increase of teachers around the state.

“The state of West Virginia and the counties in this state expend millions of dollars on facilities for children to go into, but they only spend pennies on the teachers, staff and support staff,” said Skip Parsons, board of education member. “They need to do something for the teachers.”

Chapman said that low wages across the state is creating a lack of certified teachers as teachers look to other states for employment.

“It’s a problem in the entire state,” he said. “We are about 1,200 teachers shy right now as we speak. The only thing we can possibly do is try to address it through legislation.”

CHANGES FROM PAGE 1 “It leaves the calendar open ended,” said Dennis Chapman, member and past president of the Cabell County Education Alliance. “That’s not a good situation. When do parents plan their vacation if they don’t know when things will be over?”

Smith is more concerned about the instructional quality than anything else.

“To me, it is not about the number of days of instruction, but the number of quality days,” he said. “We have to be intentional about professional development.”

Smith said under the new calendar teachers may be forced to give up valued in-service time in order to bank more time toward

If the legislature passed a wage increase, the state would help pay for it. The 1.05 percent wage increase passed by the board earlier this year was completely subsidized though Cabell County.

“The most important aspect is the quality of our teachers,” said Suzanne Oxley, president of the Board of Education. “It is important that we do everything we can to support the resolution.”

The motion passed unanimously at the board meeting and was signed by all members.

The Cabell County Board of Education meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. All meetings are open to the public.

Winners announced in MU President’s 2013 holiday card design contest Marshall University President Stephen J. Kopp and his wife, Jane, believe that MU students have incredible talents that need to be seen and appreciated by friends, alumni and their fellow students.

A few years ago, the Kopps determined that one way to show off those talents would be to sponsor a holiday card design contest each year. So, the Kopps began sponsoring a contest in 2006. On Monday, Dec. 2, they announced the winners of this year’s eighth annual contest.

“This is an opportunity for us to recognize the creative talents of our students,” Stephen Kopp said.

“The competitions bring out the best in our students, and each year the submissions are reflections of the incredible talent we have here.”

Seven men and one woman received congratulations from and posed for pictures with the Kopps Monday in the president’s office.

The eight winners are Bradley Leonard of Huntington, Tyler Vance of Lewisburg, W.Va., Kyle Mullins of Ripley, W.Va., John Fowler of Teays Valley, W.Va.,

Leonard was first in the digital

card competition, Fowler won the holiday printed card division and Pelts and Dingess tied for first place in the commemorative plate division. The plates are given to about 80 of the university’s major

donors while the cards are mailed to about 750 people.

The first-place digital card may be viewed by going to http://www.marshall.edu/ucom m/files/web/DigitalHoliday-

“I’ve talked to some of our donors and they truly enjoy seeing the new plates every year,” Kopp said. “Many of them have them on display in their homes.

Our donors and alumni truly enjoy the fact that the students did the work and it’s a product of their creative imaginations.”

Kopp said picking the winners is not easy.

“But, it’s also very enjoyable,” he said. “We have a group that sits down and goes through all the submissions and arrives at a series of recommendations. Sometimes we ask for some slight modifications to fine tune what we are going to be sending out in terms of the designs.”

Leonard and Fowler each received $700 for their first-place entries, while Pelts and Dingess received $700 apiece for their first-place tie. Second-place winners received $350 and those finishing in third place received $150.

Howard's new business is backed by more than 40 years of experience that spans from West Virginia to New Orleans. His journey into the recycling industry began during his education at the University of Kentucky.

"Baker Iron and Metal came to UK to recruit business majors," he recalled. "One thing led to another and I started working."

Since 1973, Howard has recycled countless tons of metal. It's a career he is proud of.

"We're recycling today for the future of tomorrow," the industry veteran said.

Allen Howard, the president of Metal Center Recycling is walking in his father's footsteps.

He remembered back to when it all began.

"I would come to the yards and sit in the old railroad caboose and watch Saturday morning cartoons," the young man said. "At 18, I worked at the yard in Louisville, Kentucky - I cut steel and learned from the ground up."

Like his father, Howard believes Milton will provide the new recycling business an ideal outlet for growth.

"The location here is almost perfect - right in between Huntington and Charleston," he said.

"We tried to put ourselves into the middle of the two so we

Howard said the working relationship with his father will help Metal Center Recycling thrive.

"I'm very lucky that my father and I work so well together," he said. "You must learn your job...My teacher and mentor just happens to be my dad, so I'm taking his knowledge and continuing it on."

Howard looked toward his son and smiled.

"I'm very proud of him - he's developed great techniques in the business and a great personality," he said. "In the future I will retire, but my son is quite knowledgeable and this is all going to benefit him as he goes

forward in life and becomes a leader in this industry."

Howard hopes to prove his father's words true. He has a 15month-old daughter and hopes she gets involved in the business when she gets older.

"You never know," Howard said. "I'd like to build something here, and it would be nice to have someone to stand on my shoulder and make it even better."

Metal Center Recycling is located at 1191 James River Turnpike and is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday.

State and county sees successful deer season

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

In spite of inclement weather, hunters across Cabell County and the state succeeded.

Hunters in West Virginia checked in 56,333 bucks during the 2-week buck firearms season that ran Nov. 25 to Dec. 7. The statewide numbers for this year exceed 2012's amount of 56,276, about a one percent increase.

Those in Cabell were 750 bucks, the same amount as last year.

The acorn, a main appeal to a deer's diet played a big role, said Paul Johansen, Asst. Chief in Charge of Game Management with the WV DNR. "I was pleasantly surprised that it came in as high as it did," he said. "There were several confounding factors, one of which was food conditions acorns were very sparse this

year, and that tends to affect behavior and movement from deer.

When they go out in the open to find acorns, they become more visible to hunters and more vulnerable to harvest."

Johansen continued, "Even though there was poor weather, the deer were out and about, so it all balanced each other out."

Rich Blakeman, owner of Classic Jewelry and Loan in Barboursville agreed. His check-in station saw more than 250 deer this season.

"We had more than last year a lot better than last year," Blakeman said.

Buckwild Archery in Huntington experienced similar increases. The check-in station saw 130 deer the first week and 60 the second week of the season, according to check-in records.

Fas Chek in Salt Rock also saw a slight increase. The store checked in more than 200 deer.

"We've had good numbers

Deer search for food during hunting season 2013. Photo by Eddie Ferrari of Picture Guy Photography every year, and this year we had about the same...Maybe a little more," said Manager Donna

Mills. "It was pretty good all over the area."

Deer hunting continues to be

a staple for residents across the county, according to harvest records from the WV DNR. In 2010, hunters check in 464 deer; in 2011, 705 deer; in 2012, 750 deer and in 2013, 750 deer.

"Cabell County has certainly been an area very popular with hunters - there's no question about that!" said Johansen. A lot of counties along the Ohio River support healthy and overabundant deer populations, and Cabell has an extremely healthy production, so a large percentage of the population there hunts."

Those wishing to nab a deer still have one more chance before this year ends. The antlerless gun season runs Saturday Dec. 28 through Tuesday Dec. 31.

Archery season will run through the end of December.

Before hunting, consult regulations for specific counties at www.wvdnr.gov.

Barboursville NSDAR holds Christmas Luncheon Submitted by Cassandra Griffith The Barboursville NSDAR held its Christmas Luncheon at Rascal’s. Guest speaker was Leann Haines, 7th grade Science teacher at Huntington Middle School and advisor for the Lizzie Cabell’s Finishing School for Young Ladies, a Civil War Reenactment group for girls ages 10 - 15. The students learn what it was like to be a woman growing up in the late 1850's. The group currently has 20 members. They meet once a week during the school year in which they learn dance steps from the era, converse, sip tea and learn to make period gowns and fancy dresses. They participate in reenactments when their school schedule allows.

At the end of her presentation Haines was presented with the chapter’s Lucille H. McConkey award. This award is given yearly by the Barboursville Chapter, Dr. Sam McConkey and his wife Jane - in honor of his mother Lucille H. McConkey who was a member and past regent of the chapter.

She was deeply interested in education having been a teacher, gardening and conservation.

Students enjoy challenges of school’s pottery class

The Cabell Standard

Students make a decision that will change their lives Bryce Hardiman

When a student thinks about art, they often think of painting and drawing, but others would rather create objects that they can use after the class concludes.

“I took pottery instead of art for my arts credit because it seemed more complex,” junior Brandon Adams said.

There are many difficult classes throughout the day that students must take, so according to Adams, it’s nice to get a break from all the bookwork.

“Pottery is one of my favorite classes because I enjoy it, and I get to relax with my friends,” Adams said.

Although a student gets to relax from written work, many hard tasks present themselves which are required to be accomplished in pottery class.

“Figuring out what to make and how to make it is possibly the hardest thing in pottery,” sophomore Karlee Alderman said. “It’s just so frustrating.”

There are many different ways to use the clay given to the students, but there are a select few items that every student learns to produce.

“We learn to ‘pinch pot’ or to just carve out of a huge slab of clay,” Adams said. “I had the luxury of trying the wheel because I finished all my projects.”

Not all students are permitted to try to make objects by using the pottery wheel. The wheel is taught to the more advanced students in this class.

“Everybody in our class wanted to have a try at the

According to the National Education Association, at a staggering rate of 1.2 million high school dropouts each year, success in high school is more important than ever before.

“It’s crazy to think someone would give up so early on their life,” said senior Dj Washington.

Cabell Midland currently enrolls 1,873 students with 60 percent of graduates attending college for a four year degree.

“Everyone should work to their greatest potential,” said Washington.

“Especially in high school these are your deciding years,” said Washington.

Cabell Midland High School currently has a graduation rate of 85%, which is one of the highest in the state of West Virginia.

“High school is some of the greatest times in your life,” said Senior Cameron Mayes, “You just need to be sure to always have a work ethic and strive for the best.”

Cabell Midland High School students enjoy working with their hands and creating objects in pottery class. Photo by Heather Barker wheel,” Alderman said. “The few people who do it say it’s hard, and we need to know what we’re doing constantly.”

Students say they do not just think of an idea and begin sculpting. They say the techniques they learn begin to build on each

other, and the end result is a product of thought-out design.

“We have to look at the different perspectives, form, texture and many other things,” Alderman said. “We have to try to make our objects look realistic.”

state average dropout rate of 4.4 percent says Cabell Midland records.

“If you want to be successful, it starts in your high schooldays,” said Mayes,. “Everything revolves around what you do in high school to lead you to college.”

In the United States alone 75% of dropouts end up with a criminal background.

“Some probably dropout from a tough home life,” said Washington.

A high school dropout will earn $200,000 less than a high school graduate over his lifetime. And almost a million dollars less than a college graduate.

“You have many steps to take in being successful and dropping out of High School totally stops everything you’ve ever worked for.” said Washington.

With Midland having an average dropout rate in the state, the graduates at Midland have gone to be successful as 48.6 percent go onto a professional career.

“Success is based around your education,” said Mayes “Education is what you need to succeed in life.”

Schools in session March 7, to make up for missed day To make up for a day of school missed due to inclement weather Tuesday, Dec. 10, 2013, all Cabell County public schools will be open and on a regular schedule Friday, March 7, 2014.

March 7 was originally scheduled as an Outside Environment

Day (OSE). These OSE days are placed in the school calendar to allow classes to be made up, keeping the district in compliance with the West Virginia law that requires 180 days of instruction each school year.

Barboursville Middle school students help those in need

Olivia Zarilla Cabell Midland High School

Some students may think size, clothing or sexuality are merely qualities that make an individual unique, but others find them as excuses to bully one another.

However, one student has taken steps to not only prevent bullying, but to also assist others who have been bullied in the past.

Junior Kasey Lemley’s Twitter account, @TheHelpHotline, was created as a way to help people who are being bullied and make them feel better about themselves “I know what it feels like because in eighth grade I was suffering through stuff,” said Lemley. “I had a friend to help me and thought if they needed a friend, it was all confidential and didn’t get out.”

The account was created on Sept. 18, 2012 and has already affected many of its more than 10,000 followers.

“A lot of people actually say that I’ve helped them in ways,” said Lemley.

While bullying has been an issue for many years, some people believe new technologies have made it easier for children to harass one another.

“I think cyber-bullying is huge,” said guidance counselor Tracy Urian. “That includes cell phones. I think it’s a whole lot easier for kids to say something on a cell phone without facing them. People will write anything.”

Though there are various types of bullying, it can affect all students, and Midland takes many measures to deal with any issues that may occur.

“We specifically deal with it on both levels, whether it be the victim or the bully,” said Urian. “All forms of bullying are important. It affects all areas of their life. It affects your home life and school (life). Words are not forgotten, they are not just in the present situation.”

Guidance counselors have a large role in dealing with bullying. “(Our job is) to be a support, provide the student with interventions and to make it a safe school year,” said Urian.

“I think that’s important: that everyone feels safe and secure.”

Kathy Van Horn's seventh-grade class from Barboursville Middle School put one of their classroom lessons into real-life practice to help others during the holiday season. The students packed bags with hygiene items and candy to be distributed to those in need throughout the area.

Students at Barboursville Middle School have put one of their classroom lessons into real-life practice, with the end result being help for others this holiday season.

Kathy Van Horn’s class has recently been learning about dichotomous keys. According to an Oregon State University website, a dichotomous key is a tool that allows the user to determine the identity of items in the natural world, such as trees, wildflowers, mammals, reptiles, rocks, and fish. Keys consist of a series of choices that lead the user to the correct name of a given item.

"Dichotomous" means "divided

into two parts". Therefore, dichotomous keys always give two choices in each step.

Van Horn’s seventh grade class used a key to identify personal hygiene items and candy. The items had been collected by her church over twelve weeks for her to use as part of this lesson.

When they were done identifying the items, the students packed them into 121 colorful bags which will be distributed to those in need, just in time for Christmas.

For more information, contact Kathy Van Horn at Barboursville Middle School by calling (304) 733-3003.

Students recognized by EQT Foundation The EQT Foundation has again generously sponsored more than 60 scholarships for West Virginia high school seniors.

As part of the EQT Students of Excellence Scholarship Program, $1,000 scholarships have been awarded to one student in each West Virginia county, as well as five at-large $1,000 scholarships throughout the state.

Adam Page of Spring Valley High School was among those honored.

Six students interested in studying engineering, geology, computer science/information technology, energy or land management and environmental or safety science were selected to receive four-year scholarships of as much as $18,000 per year.

Charlene Petrelli, vice president and chief human resources officer for EQT recently awarded each scholarship, along with Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, during a ceremony in Charleston.

“The original option to help a student from one of our operating counties fulfill their dream for a college education is what drew us to the Students of Excellence program, even though it was very difficult to decide which student, and from which county,” Petrelli said. “The new opportunity to help a student from every county in the state receive a scholarship eliminated that problem and also allowed us to spread our commitment to education across the entire state.”

The scholarship program,

Barboursville Elementary students help veterans with “Soap for Soldiers” project A community service project at Village of Barboursville Elementary recently took on a life of its own and is making a big impact for local veterans.

Crystal Wheeler’s 5th grade class recently organized a community service project as part of a government/civics unit they were completing. According to Ms. Wheeler, projects like this are typically on a very "small scale", but her class “really got passionate and excited” about their endeavor and made it into a huge, school-wide project.

The motto for the project was "Soap for Soldiers: Anyone Can Make a Change". The students made PowerPoint presentations, flyers, notes to go home, scripts for each classroom, posters, and

a plan to collect the items. Every day they collected, sorted, graphed, and wrote about the experience.

“I was so proud of how hard they worked and the initiative, ownership, and engagement the entire class exhibited throughout this project,” says Ms. Wheeler.

“We collected over 1,600 items that will be given to veterans at the Barboursville Veteran's Home and the Huntington Veteran's Homeless Project. I wanted my class to see that one person truly can make a change.”

which is presented in cooperation with The State Journal, has grown each year since EQT became the title sponsor in 2010.

EQT has several offices across West Virginia and is dedicated to enriching communities where its employees live and work. And as an integrated energy company with an emphasis on Appalachian area natural gas production, gathering and transmission, EQT supports West Virginia students by sponsoring the Students of Excellence Scholarship Program.

“For EQT, these are the core skills that drive our business. As a local employer, we hope to be able to increase the number of students who pursue these disciplines and maybe encourage

them to consider EQT when they launch their career,” Petrelli said.

“From an economic development standpoint, we want to encourage students to stay local, pursue skills that will prepare them for the industries that are coming to their hometowns and use their talents to contribute to the growth of their communities.”

EQT’s support of education is not just limited to the Students of Excellence program. Petrelli said the EQT Foundation also supports many other educational programs and partnerships, including the West Virginia Public Broadcasting and PBS KIDS GO! Young Writers Contest, the Clay Center for Arts & Sciences of West Virginia and the Education Pavil-

ion at the annual Jamboree at the Mill. EQT also supports county fairs and festivals as well as dozens of volunteer fire departments, food pantries and other outreach programs in communities where it has active operations.

EQT is one of the largest natural gas producers in the Appalachian Basin and in the country and one of the most dedicated to its communities.

The State Journal is a statewide, weekly business newspaper and owned by West Virginia Media, which also owns television stations WOWK in Charleston-Huntington, WBOY in Morgantown-Clarksburg, WTRF in Wheeling and WVNS in Beckley-Bluefield.

Cabell Schools making improvements to computer-based grading system Cabell County Schools is announcing improvements to its computer-based grading system so that student performance is reflected more accurately.

The school system has made adjustments to the grading system by adding pluses (A+, B+, etc.) and minuses (A-, B-, etc.) to the letter grades that teachers record. This is being done in the background only to prevent the software platforms the district utilizes from automatically “rounding up” student grades in certain situations.

“This does not change the percentages associated with each letter grade as they will be reported on a student's semester and final grade,” says Dr. Jeff Smith, Assistant Superintendent over School Improvement. “Any score between 93-100% will still be recorded as an A on the student’s report card; 85-92% will be a B, etc. A student's grade point average (GPA) will still be calculated on a 4-point scale with A+, A, and A- equaling 4 points; a B+, B, or B- equaling 3 points, and so on.”

Dr. Smith says the change is in the background only, providing the computer programs with more specific information so that grades reported by those pro-

grams are reflected more accurately.

“You may notice the pluses or minuses if you check grades using Edline; however the pluses and minuses will not appear on the student’s grade card and will not be used to calculate their grade point average (GPA).”

The changes will be applied

Grading Scale 98-100 95-97 93-94 90-92 87-89 85-86 82-84 77-81 75-76 72-74 67-71 65-66 45-64 21-44 0-20

beginning with the current, first grading period.

The following chart reflects the adjustments Cabell County Schools is making to the computer-based grading system (Please note that pluses and minuses will not appear on grade cards and will not be used to calculate GPAs):

Marshall Recreation Center ‘Boredom Busters’ The Marshall Recreation Center is starting the New Year right with a new program designed to strengthen the bond between parents and their children, as well as teach kids how to stay healthy and active.

The program is called “Bore-

dom Busters” and takes place one Saturday each month starting in January and ending in May. Alex Boyer, assistant director of youth programming at the Rec Center, came up with the concept. “We want to provide a program to help parents lure their children away

from TV, video games and tablets so that they can spend quality time with them trying something new.”

Mini Busters is for children in grades 3 through 5, and Junior Busters is for children grades 6 through 8. Some of the activities

parents will be able to enjoy with their children include yoga, belaying and climbing the rock wall, backpacking and knot tying, camping and “Kidobics,” a fitness activity. All sessions will take place inside the Rec Center, which is located on the corner of 5th Avenue

and 20th Street in Huntington.

The program costs $10 for Rec Center members and $20 for nonmembers. All supplies for the activities will be provided.

For more information or to sign up, call Boyer at 304-696-4101 or e-mail boyer3@marshall.edu.

MIDLAND FROM PAGE 1 final point on a free throw early in the third quarter, and Cabell Midland had its foot on the gas from then on.

Miland finished the night on a 35-0 run after the free throw, completely shutting out Point Pleasant in the fourth quarter.

The Lady Knights are now 3-0 on the season a year after winning 19 games. In addition to beating Point Pleasant, the Lady Knights beat Parkersburg 54-39 and beat Ripley by 20 points, 6747. Midland is off until Dec. 30, when the girls travel to Lincoln County.

Despite the eye-popping numbers and fast start, Adkins said the team will remain grounded.

"We've got some senior leaders who can bring the girls down to earth," Adkins said. "They've tasted their share of victories and know that it can be fleeting."

Guard Haley Haggerty also finished just shy of a double-double, racking up six points and nine assists.

Allie Bennett (20) pulls back to prevent a personal foul.

Savannah Jordan (34) concentrates on the basket prior to shooting.
