The Renaissance Art Gallery announces People’s Choice Award

Shoe Company Stands Test of Time

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

People walked through The Renaissance Art Gallery all during November admiring the fine miniatures. Each person was given the chance to select his or her own personal favorite. At the end of the month, we counted up the votes.

This vote is always tight. There are so many fabulous and amazing miniatures that it is really is hard to choose a favorite. The People’s Choice award gives everyone a taste of just how hard it is to judge this exhibition. Over 150 people took an interest in the People’s choice award, and while the voting was fierce, and close, we do have a winner. Sue Wall’s Kitchen Helpers was a clear winner.

The Renaissance Art Gallery, 900 8th Street, Suite #20, Huntington, WV 25701; Gallery (304) 525-3235.

MILTON – In a world where corporations and large franchises are king, one local business has stood the test of time.

From its humble beginnings in Huntington, to its home in Milton, one shoe store has thrived.

Kipling Shoes, owned by Carroll Osburn, celebrated its 111th year in business December 28.

Manager Alice Riker knows what a feat this is. Riker is no stranger to the large retail franchises and the hustle-bustle service of mall shopping.

She is proud of her business in Milton.

“This area is saturated with retail,” she said. “When you take a small business and keep it alive, it is awesome.”

“It’s the employee knowledge, the one-on-one customer service,” Riker answered. “We’re here

to help the customer and carry the products they ask for…This is what sets us apart.”

The personal approach to local customers is working for Kipling Shoes, and has helped this busi-

ness become a staple in Cabell County.

City of Milton “Cleans Up”

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

MILTON – An excavator ripped through a church on Mason Street Thursday morning.

At 9 a.m., crews from the Ohiobased Sullivan Excavating Company and members of the Milton Street Department worked to get the area ready for a complete demolition. The street crew dug small trenches in the ground to help remove water from the site, while workers from Sullivan Excavating disconnected power and walked through the church to make sure it was ready.

The aging cinderblock building was where owner Debbie Huffman watched her father, Fred

Crews demolish what use to be Faith Gospel Lighthouse Church. This is one of five buildings the city plans to remove in an effort to improve the appearance of Milton. Photo by Justin Waybright.

Huffman, preach more than 30 years ago. After he passed away in 2007, the church began to fade.

The nearby creek flooded and damaged the white building.

The roof sagged. Floors crumbled and rotted. Faith Gospel Lighthouse, once a building filled with hope, healing and life, started to die.

“I hate to see it go,” said Huffman. “It needed to be torn down before it got worse.”

Although the church is now gone, Huffman’s memories of what took place inside, will never be forgotten.

This move was a step in a plan that Tom Canterbury made before he was elected mayor of Milton.

In that April interview, more than three years ago, Canterbury said, “I want to see Milton get cleaned up and straightened up.”

Since then, he has accomplished this goal with the help of city officials.

The idea to remove the Mason Street building was discussed SEE MILTON ON PAGE 9

Tiffani Webb chosen as Daily Point of Light Honoree Millions of people give their time, talent, voice and resources to help strengthen communities around the world. We believe individuals, community groups, corporations and the government play key roles in addressing the critical issues of our time – from the future of our economy, to education, the environment and emergency preparedness. Through the stories of points of light, we recognize our personal power to transform ourselves and the world around us. Created by the administration of President George H. W. Bush, the Daily Point of Light Award honors individuals and groups creating meaningful change in communities across America. Each weekday, one volunteer or volunteer effort is recognized with the Daily Point of Light Award.

Tiffani Webb, a senior at Cabell Midland High School, has been chosen as a Daily Point of Light Honoree.

Tiffani, of Culloden, first became involved in service with Girl Scouts by raising awareness for a bullet proof vest for local canine police. Eventually, she started helping with an established outreach mission serving the homeless by collecting coats and blankets. Her outreach resulted in engaging more volunteers from churches, local medical students, friends and family members.

What started as one visit to help a friend who was a member of the Christian Motorcycle Association (CMA) grew into something much larger. Every Saturday morning the CMA bikers feed a hot breakfast to 75 to 125 homeless at Harris Riverfront Park, distribute hygiene packs, and witness to them God’s love. Tiffani’s passion for this cause led her to reach out to friends and families to collect more coats, hats and gloves to distribute each month.

Overtime the project has expanded to include Christmas gift bags filled with essentials, summer cookouts and even on-site medical care by volunteer medical students. Thanks to her outreach there are sometimes more volunteers than homeless on Saturday morning.

In addition to Girl Scouts, Tiffani volunteers as a coach with Upward Cheerleading, a junior counselor at Camp Cowen and is actively involved in her church and the local hospital. One of her projects at the hospital includes collecting books, movies, and games from the community as well as constructing shelving to house the new items, and co-hosting four celebration events focused on the patients.

Tiffani’s devotion and compassion to her community is what makes her a Daily Point of Light.

Christin’s Corner

By Christin Daugherty Dear Christin, My brother and I have a mother in her late 60’s who is not in the best of health. I live in the next town from her and my brother lives about two hours away but in the same state. I’m always doing things for our mom.

I know I live the closest but it just doesn’t seem fair knowing he can make it in to visit with her and do the things for her that my husband and I are constantly doing.

My brother’s excuse is he’s too busy on the weekends with his job or chores around his house or visiting his grown kids. I have kids, myself, who are still home. I know he loves our mom but I think he has a problem with her getting older; he still sees her as a young, vibrant woman. How can I get him to understand that’s not the case and get him to help out more?

Sincerely, Sad Sister Dear Sad Sister, Sounds like you have a lot on your plate right now, Sister! First things first, make sure you are taking care of yourself in addi-

tion to everyone else. I talked with several caregivers during my internship at the Alzheimer’s Association who wore themselves down caring after their elderly parents, totally neglecting themselves. Trust me; you won’t be much help to anyone else if you don’t take some time for yourself. Just breathe.

Okay, now on to your brother.

Communication is the most important element of a relationship, aside from trust. And it is, in my opinion, also the most neglected. Does he know all the things that you and your husband are doing to take care of Mom? If not, make a list and share it with him. If he says he doesn’t have time to come visit, go visit him. Do whatever it takes to bridge that gap between the two of you. It always feels better to say what’s on your mind instead of keeping it bottled in.

Next, ask him to share some of these responsibilities with you.

The two of you can split the list or he can only take a few. Tell him it’s whatever’s easiest for him.

People will be more apt to share

responsibility if they think they’re doing you a favor.

Third, tell him how you feel.

Maybe he doesn’t realize the stress you are under with your children and everyday life. People, and yes, even family can easily get caught up in their own lives and not realize what’s going on around them, or how much they are needed. I know I’ve been guilty of this many, many times myself.

And lastly, maybe he does have a hard time with his mother getting older. Don’t we all? And if you’re upset about something, denial can be a powerful ally. So just talk to him often and be kind. Tell him the absolute truth about everything that’s going on in your life and what’s going on in Mom’s. Communication, honesty, and kindness can go further than you think!

“Many times in life I've regretted the things I've said without thinking. But I've never regretted the things I said nearly as much as the words I left unspoken.” Lisa Kleypas, Sugar Daddy Got a problem? Need some answers?

Prayers of Hope in the NewYear From Hurricane Sandy, to Sandy Hook Elementary, our country sustained some devastating blows in 2012. But, with the dawning of the New Year and through thoughtful reflection and prayers of hope, we can affirm our faith in one another and renew and strengthen the American Dream.

Even for those tested by war, the horrific tragic scene a lone gunman left in a once peaceful place of joyful learning and individual growth was too much to bear. We may never have answers as to why a human being, or for that matter, even how a member of the human race could commit such atrocities.

Yet, we must do what we can to understand the mindset of the murderer to help prevent future acts of such unprecedented carnage. I think all of us woke up to a different nation that Saturday morning after the massacre of so many children and their dedicated principal and teachers in Connecticut.

Our State and Nation share a collective desire to try to find some way to prevent such a tragedy from happening again, and, God forbid, from happening in our own communities.

As a lifelong defender of the Second Amendment, I believe that gun safety is essential, but, so is addressing the gaps in our mental health system and the issue of drugs and violence in our culture and prayer in our schools.

The causes of violence in America are bigger and broader than

just firearms.

I want to hear from all sides before the Congress moves forward on any legislation related to the Sandy Hook tragedy, so we can move forward together. Let us act deliberately, but, for the sake of too many already lost, let us act.

Then too, in the last several months, our State has received no less than four Federal disaster designations due to the havoc and devastation Mother Nature has wrecked upon us.

From unprecedented storms of hellacious winds and heavy snows, the loss of life and extended power outages, our mettle has been repeatedly tested.

In the wake of all this, we have bonded more closely as neighbors, friends and families. Most of us have found comfort in the well worn pages of the family Bible, a trustworthy source of wisdom, guidance and clarity on every element of the human condition known to man.

Just recently, through the friendly pages of Facebook, a longtime friend of southern West Virginia and mine, Mr. Fred Pace, Regional Executive Editor of Heartland Publications stationed at Boone County’s Coal Valley News, posted a few golden verses of Scripture that renewed and inspired my spirit, and I think they are mightily worth sharing, especially in this season.

Penned by the Apostle Paul to the Christian Church in Rome, Chapter 5, verses 3-5 read: “And not only so, but we glory

in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; “And patience, experience; and experience, hope: “And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”

What a message to begin the New Year. The longer I live, the more I value not only the power of prayer but also the gift of prayer. The reality that prayer works in so many ways certainly appeals to our human frailties.

But the tremendous value of prayer seems to me to be the closeness you can obtain in your personal relationship with the Almighty, Christ and the Holy Spirit through prayer. In this season of the Lord’s greatest of gift of his Son, we are doubly blessed with the gift of prayer. How grateful we are as Christians to share with the good Lord a glimpse of glory.

Government surely has its role, its duty, to act to protect the people, but surely the path paved by sincere and devoted prayer is a sound course well worth a journey together as a nation.

May the New Year bring us healing through hope cast in Heaven’s heart. May prayer continue to strengthen the Body of Christ. And may our Nation bind up its wounds with our prayers of hope to renew and strengthen the American Dream.

CHH Earns Niche Designation For Care of Older Adults HUNTINGTON, WV – Cabell Huntington Hospital has again earned designation as a NICHE (Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders) facility for its track record of providing quality care for older adult patients.

The recognition follows a rigorous evaluation process that was reviewed, and certified, by the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at the NYU College of Nursing.

Since first becoming a NICHE facility in 2006, Cabell Hunting-

ton Hospital has trained more than 140 nurses throughout the hospital to provide specialized care for patients age 65 and older.

“Being awarded NICHE certification again is a huge accomplishment,” said Joy Pelfrey RN, MSN, FNP, Director of Senior Services at Cabell Huntington Hospital. “Each year the criteria is more challenging as the bar is raised higher. It is the hard work of all the staff of Cabell Huntington Hospital that has made this certification possible. NICHE is the leading nurse-driven program for the care of older patients and this program sets the standard for exemplary care that is sensitive to the special needs of the 65-and-over population. It is our goal to achieve the best pos-

sible outcomes for all older patients and their families.”

Being a NICHE-designated hospital demonstrates an organizational commitment and continued progress in improving quality, enhancing the patient and family experience, and supporting the hospital's efforts to serve their communities.

Cabell Huntington Hospital is a 303-bed academic medical center located in Huntington, West Virginia. Cabell Huntington cares for patients from more than 29 counties throughout West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio. Opened in 1956, it is a teaching hospital and is affiliated with Marshall University Schools of Medicine and Nursing.

By Mary Jane “GUNS AND PRAYER ” Thought for the week: The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7 (KJV) I am sure the above verse is a bit hard for some parents and loved ones to accept during the recent CT. School shootings. You send your child to school with the thought it was as when you went, safe and secure from harm. We must remember Satan walks to and fro desiring our young people to do wrong every minute of the day. `Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old, he will not depart from it.’ – Proverbs 22:6.

In the past years of shootings in schools, malls and various places, have we heard the news media say anything about, well - the parents were God fearing people. No we took prayer out of school and we only want to sheepishly admit we are Christians and believe in God when it is time to release Him from a bottle like a genie, when we need him, then we say let’s pray about it. Like I heard when the atheist was dying his last words were “OH GOD”!

The people of this nation need to take a stand and do what our forefathers intended when our money was printed” IN GOD WE TRUST”.

Little by little we are eroding our future generation by not teaching them about God our creator.

When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace; - Luke 11:21.

How much clearer can you get, sure God protects us, but doesn’t He expect us to try and defend ourselves when in danger, a gun may be used for protection from a various view.

One time my brother was bitten by a rabid dog enduring much painful shots over time, my Dad shot the dog - he owned a gun; a large poison snake crawled into the canning cellar - he shot it. My brothers have always hunted for game, for meat on the table. Are we ALL supposed to give up our guns because a few misused them? NO we should not!

After Jesus ate the Passover with his disciples he knew, Luke 22; 3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

Luke 22:31 And the Lord said Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat. As they ate and talked of his coming death he also instructed them. Luke 22: 34 - Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his script, and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

The days of elementary schools for each area are over. The ringing school bell meant standing with your hand over your heart with pledge to our flag, followed with the Lord’s Prayer. These are over, but we can still teach our children and grandchildren there is a GOD, and Satan is still around.

Bottled water came out; we all started buying it, why can’t we all start trusting GOD more and standing together for what we believe in.

Prayer: GOD, we still need your guidance each day, help us and our country to stay strong. Amen.

Community News The Cabell Standard National Red Ribbon Week® Velma’s View announces Photo-Contest

By Velma Kitchens Winners are from West Virginia

New Year’s Resolutions When the calendar turns to December, most of us think of how we could change things in the coming year. I recall seeing a survey and the number one thing to do in the New Year is lose weight. I don’t make New Year's resolutions; instead I try to improve on the things in my life where I could do better. There are a lot of ways in my life I could do better. I wish I was more organized. I have been working on that part of my life this year, and I can say I am doing better. I am working on seeing the good in people and not be so quick to judge others. When we judge others we really are trying to make ourselves look better, and that is not the right thing to do. I have also worked on exercise. Walking is one of the best ways to exercise and it also clears the mind. (I need a lot of walking).

Instead of making resolutions we probably won’t keep, some of us, need to look ahead to the coming year with optimism and keep our goals within reach.

We don’t have to wait until a new year to start, just start today.

Each day is a new one and we can do good or we can do bad. We can move forward to a new day and a new year with faith in our hearts that we will do better and we will reach our goals we have set. We should not fear the future because we know that God holds our future in His Hands.

I do have a challenge for all those who may read this. I challenge each one of you to read your Bible through this year. You don’t have to wait for the beginning of the New Year. Start today. Read from Genesis to Revelation and you will discover treasures. Make that one of your goals for the days ahead. The Bible will comfort and guide you and keep you from falling by the wayside. The King James Bible is the Word of God. If you don’t have a King James Bible, get one and start reading. God will bless you for your daily reading.

The future lies before you like paths of pure white snow Be careful how you treat it, for every step will show.

National Family Partnership's 27th Annual Youth Drug Prevention Campaign: "The Best Me Is Drug Free™” - The Kinder Family From Milton, WV Won a $1,000 DrugPrevention Grant for Milton Middle School and an iPad for Their Home The National Family Partnership (NFP) announced the winners of the 2012 National Red Ribbon Photo Contest: “The Best Me Is Drug Free.” The nation’s oldest and largest drug prevention campaign reaches more than 80 million people every year.

Students from throughout the United States participated by decorating their homes together with their parents -mailboxes, front doors and fences. Parents uploaded photos to www.RedRibbon.org, then friends and family voted and the entries with the most online votes won (from ten regions across America that included every state).

“As schools across America celebrated Red Ribbon Week, our contest helped students take the message home,” said Peggy Sapp, NFP’s volunteer president. “By entering the contest and decorating their homes together, families carried the message to their communities.”

In 1985 after the murder of a DEA agent, parents, youth and teachers in communities across the country began wearing Red

Ribbons as a symbol of their commitment to raise awareness of the destruction caused by drugs. This year, families got involved by entering a contest to promote awareness in their neighborhoods and win a drugprevention grant for their schools.

"It takes a village to raise children, we are all in this together," said winning Mom Angie Kinder. "We want to make sure my friends also talk to their children about the issue of drug prevention. Many people sent encouraging words. It was also a great mother-daughter bonding

experience. This contest helped us to continue discussing this issue with our children."

The DEA co-sponsored this year’s national contest. "The DEA is excited to partner with the National Family Partnership® on this contest that empowers communities to come together to talk about the drug problem,” said DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart. “Red Ribbon Week® is also when we honor DEA Special Agent Enrique ‘Kiki’ Camarena, who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep our communities safe.”

Rahall Meets with WV Farm Bureau WASHINGTON, D.C. – As lawmakers deliberate legislative options for a multi-year Farm Bill, U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV) recently met with representatives of West Virginia Farm Bureau to discuss issues of concern and importance to the agriculture industry in the Mountain State.

“West Virginia’s agriculture industry is important to our state and region and can contribute to our ability to compete locally and nationally,” said Rahall. “If we are to diversify our economy and bring new jobs to our region, we must continue to support initiatives that promote innovation in our farming sector, and help our farmers to improve their productivity and competitiveness.”

Guess who violated the D.C. Gun ban?

David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

I have two wonderful, still young children. I've worked in the educational system and have become very attached to those children.

And when something happens like what happened in Connecticut, I would like the opportunity to grieve along with everyone else.

But I never get that chance.

Every time and I mean every time

something so terrible and cruel happens, the dogs of war are unleashed upon me, millions of honest American gun owners and the Constitution itself. Gun owners are as torn apart by this as anyone else. There's no time for any of us to grieve, because whenever something like this happens, our back is to the corner and we're staring at the 8 ball.

It's not only that, but we are so focused on the tool, we never have the discussions we really need to have about the dysfunction of the mental-health system that allows the homicidal insane to wield terror.

This week, I was set to write about Joe Manchin and his betrayal of the West Virginia gun owners who voted for him. That has been postponed because something incredible happened.

David Gregory, of MSNBC, recently grilled Wayne LaPierre of the NRA about gun control – spinning gun-control propaganda and telling people it's supposed to be news as is standard procedure there. However, Gregory did something very interesting. As he grilled LaPierre, he

Mick Souter, “Celebrate WV” –

January 5, 2013 Traveling musician and storyteller Mick Souter teaches the history of West Virginia through song with his evening entertainment, "Celebrate West Virginia."

His touring one-man musical theatre productions demonstrate his versatility as an actor, musician, storyteller and educator.

Souter engages audiences with songs like "The Roads and Rails" and music of American folk icon Woody Guthrie like “This Land is Your Land.”

Doug and Shelley Harper – January 12, 2013 Doug and Shelley Harper are performing songwriters from Beckley, WV. They have performed throughout central Appalachia, including NPR's Mountain Stage, Tamarack, Theatre West Virginia's Music in the Mountains in Grandview National Park, and The Clay Center in Charleston, WV. Their music reflects New River/Central Appalachian culture and is relaxed and inspiring.

showed him a 30-shot clip and advocated that it should be banned, thus creating a no-win situation for Pravda, I mean MSNBC. Gregory did something millions of gun owners have never done – he violated a government gun ban. That clip, regardless of whether it is in a rifle or not, is already banned in the District of Columbia, where the show is taped. The law allows no magazine that is capable of accepting – or even being modified to accept – more than 10 rounds of ammunition.

This is a godsend for those who believe in the Constitution. It's a perfect illustration of so many key points that we have been trying to make for years.

Gregory could actually go to jail for this. This points out just how pointless and bizarre gun laws can be. He only had it to illustrate a point and he could go to jail. But so could we, regardless of why we had it in the first place.

If no charges are filed, the District of Columbia government is an institution of hypocrites. If Gregory does not go to jail, or fights this legally, he is a hyp-

ocrite. He says we should go to jail for this. Why not him? He says that we have no need for these clips. Neither did he.

It proves how pointless and useless such bans are. If David Gregory can find a banned clip, what's to stop a criminal? It proves the point that only the people a ban prevents from having something are those who respect the law.

He has made the point that nobody needs 30-shot clips and I've heard the point often made that you don't need them for hunting.

Well, no, you don't. But the Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting.

There is always something you can do to circumvent anything, for example, my grandfather and his 60-shot clips. He and virtually everybody else during the Korean war who carried the M1-carbine taped their clips end to end, so the 30-shot clip effectively became a 60-shot clip – but I really don't want to spend much time on that argument. I probably wouldn't have responded to it had it not been a chance to plug my late grandfather's heroic serv-

ice – he was a survivor of the Battle of Outpost Harry in 1953.

The government has no right to determine what we need or do not need. I hear often in political discussion about people having more than they need. It is no fair, they say, that these people have more than they need, while others have less than they need.

Thus, stuff should be taken from those who have more than they need and given to people who have less than they need. This is the primary principle of communism and it is the same with guns.

Communism makes sense to a lot of people these days when you spell out the basic tenants of it – provided you don't actually call it what it is.

A government that has the power to determine what people need, and not allow them to have things the government deems they do not need, whether it be guns or money, is not the government of a free society.

Outdoors Roundup Mountaineer cited for not wearing orange while hunting West Virginia University mascot, Justin Kimble, who used his WVU mountaineer mascot rifle to shoot a bear during the 2012 West Virginia bear season, has been cited for not wearing blaze orange while bear hunting.

Kimble's harvesting of this bear was recorded on video, which was posted online. There was considerable fallout from the anti-hunting community and a slap on the wrist from WVU – which sparked my column in the last edition “Are Mountaineers Really Always Free?” As the video of Kimble circulated, conservation officers were also watching and charged Kimble, who was obviously not wearing the required 400 square inches of blaze orange in the video.

This is a very important lesson that all young hunters should learn. When you post video of yourself doing something, if you are doing something that's not in strict accordance of the law, you've just posted evidence of

yourself doing it for law enforcement to see – and they do see these things.

This isn't the first time – and certainly will not be the last that such a thing has happened. I remember several years ago on the Wvangler.com forum, someone posted, in writing, a description of his hunt in which he shot two deer in one day. He also posted pictures of the deer.

The man's family was quite upset that someone from that forum had turned him in, but I doubt that anyone did. Conservation officers are people just like the rest of us. They aren't necessarily spying on people online, they have Facebook accounts, they frequent hunting and fishing forums, just like any of us who are interested in the outdoors and see the same things we see. They take their job very seriously, however. I know one retired officer who arrested his own brother at Thanksgiving. They swore to uphold the law and that's precisely what they do.

Hunters Helping the Hungry receives $70,000 The DNR recently presented a check for $70,000 raised during the sixth-annual Governor's One Shot Deer Hunt, which will go to the Hunters Helping the Hungry program. The program pays for hunter-donated venison to be butchered and distributed to needy families.

There is no shortage of venison for the program. In fact, hunters have been so generous with their game that the program has had to limit the number of participating processors to a handful around the state to avoid receiving more venison than it can pay to process. In addition to those funds from the governor's event, another $25,000 was donated by Dominion energy.

The event has grown – as have donations (no tax money can be legally used for the program), but the program still needs more and is far from reaching its full potential. More information about the HHH program is available at wvdnr.gov/Hunting/HHH.shtm.

PSC Grants Petition to WV Division of Highways to Implement 511 Dialing Code The Public Service Commission of West Virginia recently issued an Order granting a

petition by the West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division of Highways (WV-DOH) to

implement the 511 dialing code for the purpose of improving communication relating to traf-

fic and transportation conditions. The 511 system is intended to assist motorists in West Virginia and enhance public safety by providing information about accidents or adverse travel conditions.

The Commission formed a Task Force to investigate the proposal from WV-DOH. After a series of meetings, the Task Force recommended the Commission approve the assignment of the 511 dialing code to WV-DOH. In today’s Order, the Commission accepted the recommendation from the Task Force and noted

that all wireline carriers currently providing retail telecommunications services in West Virginia would need to program their switching equipment to properly route 511 calls.

Additionally, the Commission ordered that because WV-DOH would bear all the costs of establishing the 511 program, no additional costs were passed on to the ratepayers.

More information can be found on the Commission’s website at www.psc.state.wv.us and referencing Case No. 12-0826-T-P.

“We’ve got to start cleaning up out here,” Canterbury said during that meeting. “We got to get going on it.”

Less than two months after that statement, workers did.

It was one of five area buildings slated for demolition. Another house on the same street is next.

It will cost more than $9,000 to remove both. The city is using a $3,000 matching grant to help

cover the project, Canterbury said.

“We’re cleaning up the dilapidated buildings that nothing has been done to,” he said.

The removal of the aging church was one of the many steps toward the city’s goal of beautifying Milton.

Depending on next year’s budget, Canterbury hopes to continue beautifying the city that more than 2,500 people call home.

MILTON - The winter storm, blamed for 2,000 cancelled flights and 12 deaths in the U.S., hit Cabell County Wednesday.

Rain saturated cold roads.

Temperatures dropped and pavement became slick.

At 9 a.m., Milton police and firefighters raced toward a singlecar accident on the center median of I-64 westbound, about a mile past the Milton exit.

Cold rain fell and chilly wind blew while crews worked to pick up shattered pieces of a crashed Ford Mustang. The driver sustained no major injuries.

“It’s bad weather, and people need to be careful,” said Milton Firefighter Tyler Goodpaster.

Goodpaster and others picked up pieces of the front bumper, more than 100 yards away from the wrecked sports car.

“It looks like they lost control coming across the bridge,” said firefighter Merle Goodpaster.

“This is our second one today,

and the weather is supposed to get a lot worse.”

Firefighters gave tips to divers during wintry weather conditions: · Drive slower · Watch the roads · Be careful of yourself or others hydroplaning · Maintain a safe following distance between yourself and others · Move over slowly when you see fire, EMS or police vehicles behind you.

JESSICA MARIE PHILLIPS Family and friends would like to celebrate the life of Jessica Marie Phillips, 21, of Culloden, West Virginia.

She was born December 7th, 1991, a significant date for her naval veteran father. Her vivacious spirit left an indelible mark on all who knew and loved her. Jessica was never far from 'Mama' and 'Papa', Jeffrey and Julie Phillips, her 'sissy' Anna Adkins, brother-in-law Tommy Adkins, and her beloved niece and nephews, Tracy, Carter and Christopher, all of Culloden.

She was also deeply devoted to grandmother, Sherry Phillips and many loving aunts, uncles and cousins scattered across the country. Besides family and friends, Jessica loved her dogs. Heartbroken when she lost her boxer Diesel, she doted on her 100 pound Rottweiler "baby", Rocky, and tiny Buddy the beagle.

She was a member of Antioch Baptist Church and for years was an active participant in the youth group. An especially meaningful part of that experience for her was attending the many retreats at Camp Caleb. An accomplished musician, Jessica had a lifelong passion for music. She held the honor of 'first chair' violinist with the award-winning Cabell Midland High School orchestra. She also loved soccer, a sport she played throughout most of her school career.

After graduating from Cabell Midland High School in 2009, Jessica worked as Assistant Manager at Food Fair in Culloden, while continuing her education at Mountwest Community and Technical College where she was pursuing a promising career in the medical field.

A memorial was held Friday, December 21, 2012 at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church conducted

by Pastors Pete Davidson and Troy Nicely.

A graveside service followed at Spring Hill Cemetery.

Jessica will be remembered for her boundless energy, enthusiasm for life and uncompromising love for friends and family.

The family requests that donations are made to a scholarship fund set up in her name, which will make it possible for other young people to attend Camp Caleb. The address is Antioch Missionary Baptist Church, P.O. Box 64, Ona, West Virginia, 25545.

Skate Park Rolls Back Open!

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

MILTON -- “I feel certain the skate park will re-open.”

These were Mayor Tom Canterbury’s words just days before the skate park re-opened in Milton.

Just before Christmas, area skaters received an early present when officials removed the lock off the entrance and the signs from the grounds.

Skaters have their place back.

Jayden Churchill, a skater from Charleston, rolled into the skate park last week. The nine-yearold was happy to see the park reopened.

“I love it,” he said. “I hope it never closes again.”

Kevin Brady, Executive Director of the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District was pleased to see area children enjoying the skate park again before the holidays.

But work on the park is not finished yet.

“As of Friday afternoon, the skate park re-opened,” Brady said. “My plan is to measure, and then add some noise dampening

Crews have yet to do this because of weather conditions, said Bill Kelley, a member of the

Greater Huntington Parks and Recreation board.

“We do have it open, but because of the weather it is getting very little usage,” he said. “Our

plan is to keep it there for the kids and hopefully quiet it down for the neighbors, who are complaining.”

Canterbury mirrored Kelley’s

words.

“It feels great to give it back to the kids,” he said. “I feel certain it will stay open.”

Like Canterbury and Kelley, Brady felt confident that children would get their skate park before the holidays. The one thing holding them back—the noise ordinance—was not enough to shut the park down completely.

“Nothing about the Park violates any noise ordinance, and we are anxious to be a good community partner and open the park for the kids,” Brady said before officially re-opening the skate park.

The goal of the city and the Greater Huntington Park and Recreation District is to satisfy both the skaters and the nearby residents.

“I hope the improvements we make will satisfy the folks that complained, and that we can be good community partners,” said Brady Kelley agreed.

“Our plan is to not be a nuisance or interference to the neighbors,” he said. “I hope we can keep it [the skate park] going for the kids…It’s had a big impact on them.”
