Scholarship set up at Marshall School of Med HUNTINGTON - A $15,000 endowed scholarship has set up through the Marshall University School of Medicine. The scholarship was created by a donation from Dr. Robert A. Hess, a 1984 graduate. His son, Jonathan A. Hess, graduated last year and is currently a resident physician in family medicine at Marshall. The scholarship, known as the Dr. & Mrs. Robert A. Hess Scholarship for the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, will be awarded to a first-year medical student who also is the first in his or her immediate family to attend medical school. The recipient will be selected by the School of Medicine Scholarship Committee, in cooperation with the Office of Student Financial Affairs. "Jannell and I are grateful to Marshall University for allowing me the opportunity to achieve my dream of becoming a physician," Hess said. "For one of two out-of-state students accepted in 1980, Marshall's tuition was affordable compared to other schools around the country. We realize that for many, the cost of obtaining a medical degree is still a major obstacle. It is our privilege to endow this scholarship that will allow future students the chance to realize their dreams."

History Coming to Milton By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON - Carbide lanterns, depot signs and locomotive bells are chapters that write the story of West Virginia. One man seeks to tell it, one piece at a time. Inside the Pumpkin Park Music Hall, he looks at 70-year-old antique coins. The round, worn pieces of metal are faded by time. Bill Kelley, West Virginia Pumpkin Festival President holds one, dated: 1939. "Back then, miners paid in ‘funny money’ or ‘script,’ and could only spend it at the company store," Kelley said. "That Johnny Cash song, "I owe my life to the Company Store" is pretty much true." He walks past display cases, full of mining tools, dinner buckets and various Appalachian artifacts. A bittersweet feeling weighs thick
in the air. "I look back to when I was a child, and remember these things that are now long-gone," Kelley said. "How many decades have come and gone?" He continued, "Children today are losing out on this, but we lived in this time and it’s part of our bringing up." Bringing history back to Milton is something Kelley has wanted for years. Recently, his goal began when Roger Ball, a local, donated a plethora of antique coal and railroad items. That marked the start for something big, said Kelley. While looking toward display SEE HISTORY ON PAGE 6 West Virginia Pumpkin Festival President Bill Kelley stands in front of lanterns and other mining tools in a room he hopes to turn into a coal and city museum.

Local Author revives History By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
BARBOURSVILLE - History. It is all here, and one person is doing everything she can to make sure it is not forgotten. From calendars to billboards, Jeanette Rowsey is fighting to resurrect the village’s past. Since 2009, she has flipped through thousands of pages in history books, scanned hundreds of century-old photographs, spoken to dozens of local historians and logged countless hours of exhausting research - all this in the name of history. “I want to make people more aware,” Rowsey said. “A lot of
Old Courthouse - One of the many pictures that will be found in Rowsey's new book. The local author is nearing completion of the book. Submitted photo people have done small histories, but I wanted to tell the
whole narrative story.” It will be in her book, slated
for release this year. The psychology major strives to paint a picture of Barboursville’s personality. The picture is coming into focus as she nears completion. Through meticulous research and interviews, Rowsey saw an image of a progressive and tolerant town that was atypical in its views at the time. “It’s fun to find sources and connect them together to tell a story no one has,” she said. “I want to see things preserved, and the best way is to educate people.” The manuscript now has 250 pages and is complete up to 1950, Rowsey said.

Christin’s Corner By Christin Daugherty
Bringing history to life - Local author Jeanette Rowsey is writing a book, covering more than 200 years of Barboursville history. She hopes to finish the book by summer. She has donated three signs, celebrating the village's 200th birthday. Rowsey also has a custom historical calendar available for purchase. Submitted photo ished, it will be turned into a history book unlike any other. Never-before-published pictures, names and stories will appear. Captain William Meritt’s mill, the old courthouse and famous African Americans will grace the cover of pages throughout the book. Some of these pictures and brief histories are in Rowsey’s new Barboursville Bicentennial Calendar. It is available for $10 plus tax at the library or via her website: www.lostvillageofbarboursville.com. Aside from the calendar and
book, Rowsey donated three signs placed throughout U.S. 60 to celebrate the village’s 200 years. “That was my birthday card to the town,” said Rowsey. “It was a great way to promote Barboursville’s birthday.” “I hope my journey through the past will help Barboursville's sons and daughters look with fresh eyes at Barboursville as a place with a rich history worth preserving,” she wrote on her website. Rowsey hopes to complete the book by summer.

Dear Christin, My daughter has been dating this absolute loser for about a year now. Not only do I not like the way he treats her, but he also has no job, and I’m pretty sure he’s on drugs. Not long ago, when they were visiting my aunt, some of her jewelry came up missing and I am positive that he is the one who took it. I expressed my concerns to my daughter about this guy and now she will barely speak to me. How do I get her to understand that he is only bringing her down and that the worst is yet to come? Sincerely, Not-So-Proud Papa Dear Papa, It seems as though you have quite a dilemma on your hands. A dilemma that I do not envy by the way (I have a few more years before I have to worry about boys). And what I have to tell you, you are probably not going to like, and I’m sure this will be easier said than done. Ok, now take a deep breath…exhale…and just STOP. That’s it. Listen Papa, the more you push the more your daughter will pull away. The more you judge her actions and decisions, the
more she will shut down and not talk to you about any problems she is having in her life. Us women are good at that (especially if she is strong and stubborn like me). I know you probably feel helpless having to stand back and watch while she makes mistakes. Wouldn’t the world be such a simpler place if our children just listened to us the first time? But alas, the world doesn’t work that way. The truth is that the only way to gain true knowledge is by falling down yourself and learning to get back up. Looking back on my younger years, I feel sorry for my parents and the dating disasters I made them endure (I’m the world’s worst when it comes to picking the right guy). I remember a few times that they tried to tell me that I was making a mistake, but that just made me want to prove them wrong. I had a really bad habit (still do actually) of convincing myself that, with a little help from me, the man I loved could reach his full potential. That he would one day show my parents that I was right about what a great guy he was.
Yeah…that never happened. My point is that you cannot make your daughter see what you see. She is seeing what she wants to see right now and no amount of logic, from you or anyone else is going to change that. She needs to fall down every once in awhile, get a bump on the head or a scraped knee, so that she can remember how much it hurt and be careful not to do it again. Like I said before – easier said than done, right? The best advice I have for repairing your relationship consists of only two things: Be there. Listen. As long as she knows that you are there for her, no matter what mistakes she’s made, you two will be just fine. And the more she feels as though she has a strong support system in her corner, the more likely she will be to have the strength and courage to realize, on her own, that she may be better off not being in this unhealthy relationship. “Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them.” - Bill Ayers Got a problem?

Thacker Family Physicians now offering Medical Aesthetic Services Thacker Family Physicians, located at 1155 Main Street Milton, WV for more than 12 years, is pleased to announce that they are now offering medical aesthetic services to the community. Through the use of lasers and radio frequency, they now offer a means of treating a variety of unwanted conditions such as stretch marks, acne and other scars, spider veins, cherry angiomas, acne rosacea, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, and keratosis. They also provide hair removal, skin tightening, and facial rejuvenation. Even more exciting is the addition of i-Lipo! It is a laser treatment that offers the nonsurgical
alternative to liposuction with no pain or down time. It targets areas that may not be responding to diet and exercise alone. When used on the abdominal area, there is an average decrease in size of 2-4 inches or 1-2 dress sizes. It can be used on other body areas that you may need targeted as well. Because it does not destroy the cells, if weight is put back on in the future, it will look more natural than the alternative treatments which destroy the cells. Drs. Wayne and Teresa Thacker, along with their staff, continue to offer the same family medicine services which they have been providing to the community for
over 19 years. Angie Barker, NCTM LMT, an orthopedic certified, Olympic qualified massage therapist continues to offer manual manipulation therapies to clients along with the rest of the massage therapy staff. Pauletta Wallace RT(R)(CT), has joined the practice and has completed training and received certificates in all areas of laser treatments offered at our office, and has over 20 years experience in the medical field. Call today to schedule your appointment. All laser service consultations are included in our convenient packages.

Items needed for February “Mission Project” Tiffani Webb, a senior at Cabell Midland High School is collecting items for the month of February “Mission Project”. After earning the Girl Scout Gold Award last year Tiffani wanted to continue helping others in need. With this goal, she established a mission project for local organizations. This is a great opportunity to inform the services they provide as well as help them with their “Needs List”. This is a chance for churches, boy and girl scouts troops, businesses, students, friends, and family to ban together and help right
here in our community. Think of the difference that we can make by working as a team! Most items can be “gently-loved” or you may have extras already at home. For the month of February Tiffani will be collecting for Harmony House. Items may be dropped off at Milton Baptist Church or Source4 in Perry Morris Sq in Milton. Items needed include: Razors, shampoo, shaving cream, soap, deodorant, toilet paper, lotion, gloves, hats, scarves, books and games for adults.

Besides distribution in West Virginia, our calendars are enjoyed by people all over the United States,” said Taylor.

Artists are reminded that the calendar format is horizontal, with measurements of 14 inches wide by 11 inches high, and should keep this ratio in mind when creating paintings. Paintings not chosen in previous years may be resubmitted. “Just because the artwork is not selected one year doesn’t mean it will not be selected in the future,” said Taylor. “Often, there are several submissions of a particular species and only one can be used in a given year. “We encourage all artists, especially those from West Virginia, to submit their work,” said Taylor. A $100 prize is awarded for each painting chosen, with $500 going to the artist whose artwork is picked for the cover. Paintings are chosen based on overall composition and quality, along with anatomical and contextual accuracy. The quality of the electronic image or submitted slide is very important for judging the artwork. To obtain 2014 calendar art rules or to purchase a 2013 calen-
dar, please contact the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, Wildlife Calendar Art, P.O. Box 67, Elkins, WV 26241, phone 304-637-0245. Electronic images should be emailed to: Jerry.R.Shinn@wv.gov.
Velma’s View By Velma Kitchens
Governors and Presidents How many of us know without looking up on Google or asking our parents who was Governor of West Virginia or the State you were born and the President of the United States the year you were born? Quickly think and state who it was. Have to think a little? I had to think about both. I then thought about my children and who was Governor and President the year they were born. Just a little trivia to get you thinking about our State and Nation. Don’t look it up on the computer but try another way. Find a book or call your relatives - the older ones, and I am sure they will know. Who was Governor and President when your parents were born? That’s a hard one. We have had many good Governors and Presidents and one year I began studying the lives of some of them. One of the most fascinating Presidents to me was James A Garfield. President Garfield was the last president to be born in a log cabin and he was also a minister. President Garfield and his wife had several children and when he died his oldest daughter said that she didn’t think she could live without Papa. I think that was a testament to his character and his life as a Father to his children - as they loved him dearly. With the swearing in of the Governor and President, I hope we all pray for them each day that they will do the right thing for us. Not all people do the right things - but wouldn’t it be wonderful if a politician would do the will of the people who want the right to prevail? May we have decency and law and order in our state and nation, and may our country come to the sense of the laws of God. The one true God, Jesus Christ.

HISTORY FROM PAGE 1
By Mary Jane “SMILES AND WORRIES” Thought for the week: A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken. Proverbs -15:13 (KJV) In your daily meeting of others, wherever you may be, how many people are smiling as you pass them? It seems as if so many people walk in a hurried pace, with heads down and minds on other things, than a smile to share. If you give a smile, you usually receive one back, but there is always a time you see a person smile at you and you think to yourself, do I know who that was? While recently visiting the dept of motor vehicles, my grandson and I sat with approximately seventy people waiting for turns of assistance, not one was smiling. Now I know this was not the place to expect a smile, but to be alive and just able to be there is something to be grateful for. We all have problems and our thoughts are distracted with what we have to do at the moment. But doesn’t it feel better to smile than to show the worried look. A merry heart doeth good like medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones. Proverbs-17:22 Webster defines Smile – a grin; a facial expression in which the corners of the mouth turn upward, indicating pleasure. There is an old song that goes: You can smile when you can’t say a word You can smile when you cannot be heard You can smile when it’s cloudy or fair You can smile anytime, anywhere. Webster defines Worry - to trouble oneself; to fret. trouble, care, anxiety. It only makes a wrinkled brow, brings on discontent and no trust in God. Read Matthew 6:25-34 And try to do 1 Peter 5:7 - Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you. To sum it up TRUST God daily and your smiles will come, and turn your worries over to Him. Our church bible verse for January was a good one to memorize. Jeremiah 33-3 - Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. (KJV) Never know what God has for you --- till you ask. Prayer: Father we do WORRY, and don’t SMILE enough, helps us to do both better. Amen.

The beginnings of a museum - Here are some items and display cases that Kelley hopes to turn into a new public attraction for Milton. He is calling on the community to donate and loan antiques from the city or from coal mines and railroads. Photo by Justin Waybright cases, behind the stage in the music hall, he imagined tours through a vivid Appalachian coal and city museum. Kelley pictured rustic signs, old mining tools, city relics and a custom-built, walkthrough mine experience. Like the inside of a coal mine, that dream is a little hard to see.
But, Kelley is confident it will come soon. He is calling on the community for help. "This is an ongoing project, and we hope people will donate or loan items to this one central place that will house history," Kelley said. "This is a good project to
work on in the community - we could make it a main attraction for the public." With help from area residents, the new coal and city museum will be ready this summer, he said. To donate or loan items to the project, call Bill Kelley at (304) 634-5857.

Remembering Christopher Gist, outdoorsman
David Payne Sr.
Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
Christopher Gist isn't much of a household name, but he was the first (besides Indians) to see much of West Virginia. He was our Lewis and Clark. His expeditions predate Lewis and Clark's by a half century and at that time, this area was just as unknown as the West was when Lewis and Clark started theirs. Gist was actually Daniel Boone's neighbor in North Carolina when the Ohio Company hired him in the early 1750s to explore the Ohio Country.
His first trip took him through Central Ohio and all the way to Louisville. His second trip took him through much of western West Virginia. Gist was actually getting paid to write down what he saw, so his journals – which you can find and easily read online – are very detailed. He pays close attention to Indian customs as well as who and what he sees. What is remarkable is the mobility and mixture of people in the vibrant Ohio Country. There were Indian towns all over the place, as well as French, English, colonial and Indian traders. He writes of Indians from Canada traveling over the Great Lakes and through the area. His second exploration took him through the Mid-Ohio Valley. One of many attributes that make his journals unique is his objectivity. He just states facts and doesn't inject his own personal opinions and prejudices. Gist paid careful attention to the land; he was looking for tracts of several hundred acres that could be used for building trading posts. He traveled up creeks he thought interesting, which gives us a glimpse of what much of the
area was like around 1750. He traveled up Big Mill Creek (then called Smith's Creek), Big Sandy Creek (then called Beyansoss Creek) in Jackson County. He also traveled five miles up Lawwellaconin Creek (Pond Creek) in Wood County and writes it was good land with good timber. He found plenty of coal in the headwaters of the Middle Fork of Tygart Creek. At some point, he turned around and went back north. I'm not sure how far south he got during that second trip. I think he might have gone down the Kanawha as far as Poca, then traveled up the Pocatalico River and then through modern-day Jackson and Wirt counties. Reading these diaries and trying to map out where they traveled is fun, but mentally challenging and time consuming and I wasn't able to determine whether he went up the Poca or not for sure. Sometimes, you never know for sure. Last year, I wrote a fairly long article on George Washington's trip through Putnam County for The Standard. I spent hours trying to piece together clues from Washington's diary to figure out
how far up the Kanawha River he came. If you go by Washington's estimates of distance, he only went as far as Arbuckle in Mason County. If you go by his description of land, he went as far as Buffalo, while others in his party went to present-day Winfield. Gist's diary, when compared with Washington's, gives an interesting glimpse of how quickly the buffalo and elk disappeared in the area. Gist speaks of killing buffalo in Wood and Jackson counties, but Washington didn't see a single buffalo on the Ohio River. Thus, it seems that buffalo disappeared from the Ohio Valley around 1760. Without Gist, the United States might not have won the Revolutionary War. He saved George Washington's life at least twice. Washington was green, in his 20s, with no frontier experience and Gist was his sole companion during an expedition through modern-day West Virginia and Pennsylvania to negotiate with the French on behalf of Virginia. Once, when an Indian was plotting to murder them, they built a huge campfire that would burn through the night – to make it appear as if they were camped
when they had instead sneaked away during the night. It was a trick – which I would presume was Gist's idea - Washington never forgot. If you are a student of history, that campfire ruse may sound very familiar. Washington used it twice to slip away during the night as the Continental Army faced certain annihilation – once at the Battle of New York and again just before the Battle of Princeton. Gist was also serving under Washington on a later expedition to build a wagon road in Pennsylvania after the French had narrowly beaten the British in a race to build a fort at present-day Pittsburgh. The trip ended with Washington surrendering at Fort Necessity. He also served under Washington during the Battle of the Wilderness. After that, he went to eastern Tennessee to seek Indian allies among the Cherokees to help fight against the French. Little is known of Gist's life after that. He is believed to have died of smallpox in South Carolina or Georgia three years later. Contact David Payne at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
Lee Strawn was recognized as the 2012 Outstanding Wildlife Manager of the Year. This prestigious award is presented annually to a wildlife manager in West Virginia who has demonstrated outstanding commitment to excellence in the field of wildlife management, including conservation of the wild turkey. Strawn began his career with the Wildlife Resources Section in 2001, working as wildlife manager on the Pleasant Creek, Teter Creek Lake and Upper Deckers Creek Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). In 2006, he was transferred to Romney and assigned to the South Branch, Nathaniel Mountain and Fort Mill Ridge WMAs. Strawn initiated a wide variety of wildlife habitat enhancement projects on these WMAs, including wildlife plantings, mowing of wildlife clearings, active timber management, and installation of road closures. He also made significant contributions to DNR’s Chronic Wasting Disease surveillance and management ef-
forts. Conservation officers Jason Hudson and Andy Lyons were honored with the prestigious “Sharp Spur Award.” This award is given yearly by the state NWTF chapter to the officer who does the most on wild turkey-related enforcement and activities. This year, Officers Hudson and Lyons were both nominated because of an unusual case in Summers County in the spring of 2012. “This case involved two individuals who were killing multiple turkeys out of season, videoing the hunts and putting some of them on YouTube,” explained Capt. Larry Case of DNR District 4. “This was a lengthy investigation, and resulted in more than 16 convictions on the two subjects on charges of illegally taking turkeys and more than $4,000 in related fines and costs. This case involved some complicated issues with the Internet and YouTube, and I’m proud the officers were recognized for their exemplary actions and results.”
Outdoor roundup While the 2012 – 2013 hunting season is getting long in the tooth, there are still plenty of opportunities left this year. The fisher trapping season ended Thursday (although I don't think I've ever known anybody who trapped fisher). The hunting and trapping seasons for red and grey fox, bobcat and raccoon will end Feb. 28. Trapping for coyote, otter, mink and muskrat also ends on Feb. 28. Trapping season for beaver will end March 31, 2013. During March, beaver traps may only be set in water. For all trapping seasons, traps must be removed by noon on the last day of the season. All beaver, bobcat, otter and fisher pelts are required to be checked at an official game checking station within 30 days of the close of their respective seasons. Furs shipped out of West Virginia must have a fur shipping tag, which is available at Division of Natural Resources district offices and most game checking stations. Anyone who plans to sell an
otter or bobcat pelt outside of West Virginia should obtain a CITES seal for each pelt. All otter and bobcat pelts, usually exported from the United States by licensed fur buyers, must have a CITES seal from the state where the animal was harvested. While most hunters finish their year's hunting at the close of deer season, late winter offers an oftenoverlooked hunting experience. Rabbit, grouse, fox, bobcat and raccoon are in season through the end of February. “For many hunters, this is the most enjoyable time to be afield,” said Jeff McCrady, DNR wildlife biologist. “The holidays are long past and people just seem to have more time to get outside and hunt.” Biologists, McCrady included (I got to know him quite well during my years writing outdoors in Parkersburg), relish the late-season hunts as they spend much of deer season working long hours afield. February can be a great time for the rabbit hunter. There is less
vegetation to obscure vision, the ground is usually damp enough to hold scent well and the weather is generally cool enough to keep the beagles from getting overheated. Grouse hunters enjoy late season outings for the same reasons. The final weeks of February will be the last chance to hunt with their dogs until next fall. Raccoons are generally not very active during cold, winter nights, but a warm spell can cause ringtails to be more active. Predators, such as fox, bobcat and coyote are susceptible to varmint calls during the winter months. The imitated distress cries of a rabbit or a field mouse work well this time of year. “With all of West Virginia's late season hunting opportunities, there is no reason for a case of cabin fever,” McCrady said. “Success can't be guaranteed, but fresh air and exercise are certainly available this time of year.” The WestVirginia State Chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation recently honored three West Virginia DNR employees.

as a gift for Valentine’s Day (ARA) - When it comes to giving a meaningful gift to the important women in your life, few gifts say more than jewelry. The right piece of jewelry will complement her personality or even remind her of the special moments you’ve shared. Jewelry has always been a popular gift for women, but that’s even truer this year. The number of women who say jewelry is on their wish lists has increased 13 percent from last year, according to the National Retail Federation’s annual holiday survey. Personalizing jewelry can be a challenge, but with a little thought it’s easy to select something as special as her. For those having trouble getting started, the key is to think of the emotions, memories and moments that define the person you will be buying for: Wife or girlfriend: Buying for a wife or girlfriend seems like it should be easy, because you know her better than anyone. But that can also add to the pressure of finding something she likes and that is as unique as your relationship. Do some observing and figure out what colors she likes and whether she prefers silver, gold or a combination of the two. By coyly doing the research rather than asking her, she’ll be impressed when you deliver a gift that matches her individual style. For Mom: Since a mother will love any gift that comes from her child, it doesn’t hurt to ask her subtly if there’s been anything in particular she’s been wanting. You can never go wrong with a set of earrings or a nice bracelet to complement her favorite outfit. For a friend: Think about a

special moment you have recently shared with your friend or a big accomplishment in her life, such as a new job or completing a marathon. Find a unique piece of jewelry that relates to that moment and she’s sure to appreciate the gift. High-quality, hand-finished charm bracelets also work well for any special woman in your life, because they offer particularly unique opportunities to personalize. Charm bracelets also make a great gift because you can continue to build on them as the years go by. The affordable luxury nature of charm bracelets allow the gift giver to find momentous and even everyday reasons to celebrate life’s unforgettable moments. When searching for that special piece of jewelry for your loved one, just remember that she’s bound to like whatever you get her if there’s a story behind it. The charm of jewelry is that it reminds the wearer of the person who bought it for her and the special moments they have shared. (ARA) - Saving money is a big deal these days, but you don't

Protect your identity when looking for love online (ARA) - Long gone are the days when no one wanted to admit to frequenting online dating sites. Today, millions of Americans interact, meet, date - and even marry - thanks to dating sites. Unfortunately, not everyone you might meet online is looking for romance. Some are looking to cheat unsuspecting love-seekers out of their valuable personally identifiable information which is then used for identity theft. “The popularity of online dating has opened the floodgates of opportunity for identity thieves eager to capitalize on the trusting nature of individuals looking to make a personal connection,” says Jennifer Leuer, general manager of ProtectMyID. “Online daters need to take identity theft protection steps to ensure the only thing they lose through dating is their ‘single’ status.” From paid online services to chatrooms, message boards and virtual communities, anyone looking for a mate online has many choices for finding that special someone via the Internet. Unfortunately, few adults take appropriate precautions to protect their personally identifiable information when dating online. In fact, nearly half of online daters do not take steps to verify the authenticity of a potential match before communicating, according to a 2010 survey by Impulse Research on behalf of ProtectMyID. “Imagine meeting the ideal partner online and then discovering that his or her only motivation is to swindle financial information from an unsuspecting per-

Happy Valentine’s Day! son,” Leuer says. “Shockingly, nearly 10 percent of those surveyed said they had provided their Social Security numbers or bank account information to people they met online.” Even sharing such seemingly innocuous information as your full name, age, birthday and home town could give identity thieves an opportunity to take advantage of you. Nearly 30 percent of those surveyed provided their home address to a potential match, and almost 75 percent revealed their birth date. If you’ll be looking for love online this Valentine’s Day, keep these safety tips in mind: * Start out by being a bit mysterious. Do not include your full name, hometown, home address, work specifics, phone numbers, educational background, and specifics about your children in your profile, and don’t share that information with a prospective match until you’ve established a level of familiarity and trust. And there is never a reason to share
your Social Security number, financial information or bank account numbers with someone you meet online. * Investigate. Don’t assume a prospective match is always being truthful. Conduct background work on sites like LinkedIn, Facebook or Google to see if conflicting information exists. And be especially wary of requests for loans or assistance of any kind. * Consider enrolling in an identity theft protection product like ProtectMyID, which monitors your credit and alerts you to more than 50 indicators of fraud, allowing you to quickly know if your identity has been compromised. ProtectMyID also uses daily Internet scanning to determine if your information appears on suspect sites or chatrooms that specialize in trafficking stolen credit card numbers. Identity theft resolution agents provide personal assistance to resolve identity theft issues and help in the event your wallet is lost or stolen.

Campbellsville University School of Music offers new degree emphasis in Worship Arts By Christina L. Kern, office assistant CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY -- The Campbellsville University School of Music is revamping the church music degree to offer a new emphasis-the bachelor of science in music worship arts emphasis. The National Association of Schools of Music, an organization that establishes national standards for undergraduate and graduate degrees and other credentials, recently accredited the new degree emphasis. Dr. Tony Cunha, dean of the School of Music, said, the university's offering of the bachelor of science degree in music worship arts offers more flexibility for graduates than the previous bachelor of music degree with an
emphasis in church music. The degree is an improved upon combination of the School of Music's former church music degree and the School of Theology's former bachelor of science or bachelor of arts degree in worship arts. He said the bachelor of science degree is more into the liberal arts realm with the bachelor of music degree being a more "professional" degree. The program, designed by Cunha with suggestions from faculty, staff and students, provides a "balance of music and theology" and is designed to fit more than one worship style so it is "more diverse for finding a job in churches of various worship styles," Cunha said. "Church musicians are ex-
pected to be articulate in the Bible, and the new worship arts program provides a good foundation in both music and theology because we have strong schools in each of these areas," Cunha said. The worship arts core courses make approximately one-third of the 80-hour degree with courses in music and theology. A portion of these hours is dedicated to a one-year internship in a local church. There is also a senior capstone course for students to implement a project in the church, depending upon the needs in the church. Students will also take part in a worship ensemble for class credit. There are other classes which apply to other aspects of serving
in a church: worship and technology, computers and music, and church drama. Music students may also be eligible for performance grants/scholarships, where in the past, worship arts students wouldn't receive financial help in this manner because it was under the school of theology. Cunha also said a benefit of having worship arts under the School of Music is students can apply for graduate school anywhere, at either a seminary or university. Music scholarship auditions for fall 2013 entrance are: Feb. 23, March 15 and 16, and April 13. Register for auditions online at www.campbellsville.edu/auditions.
