SUPERVALU plans to close its Milton distribution center, a move that will affect about 90 employees. The supermarket company is consolidating the center into its New Stanton/Pittsburgh distribution center. The closure is expected to be completed by the end of April 2014. In a news release, SUPERVALU said it regularly reviews its business in order to maximize efficiency. The release went on to say, “As a result of excess capacity within the over 771,000 square foot New Stanton/Pittsburgh facility, SUPERVALU is able to effectively consolidate these two operations and better position the company for future growth of its distribution business in the region. The decision will not impact any SUPERVALU independent retail customers, and the company remains fully committed to continue serving its affiliated independent retailers throughout the region moving forward.” SUPERVALU said it will work with the affected employees, as well as their union representatives, to discuss details of the consolidation and ensure a smooth transition. As of this time, it is unclear whether SUPERVALU plans to sell or lease the building. SEE SUPERVALU ON PAGE 6

County employees helped sway a controversial policy off the commission's agenda during the first meeting of 2014. After a backlash from various Cabell County department supervisors, the proposal to do away with take-home work vehicle usage was nixed. The commission proposed the policy modification in an effort to bypass the burden of stricter regulations imposed by the IRS on county vehicle use. One-by-one, county employees spoke against approving the proposed policy change. "This includes the vehicles of all the offices in the courthouse,"
explained County Assessor Irv Johnson. "My question is, what is at hand?" Sheriff Tom McComas responded to commissioners. "If you all adopt a no-takehome-vehicle-policy, and you have Gordon Merry [EMS Director] - then he would have to drive his personal car here and then get in the county car," he said. "If this is a rigid policy, I would like to think that our EMS director ought to be exempt." McComas continued, "Nobody wholeheartedly agrees with what's going on here." Commissioner President Nancy Cartmill answered, "The county's tried to do things in the past, but couldn't get mileage and other documentation from employees, and I've gotten re-
sponses from the public about people driving their county vehicles home, to church, the grocery store and other places, and the public doesn't like that." "That's a bitter pill to swallow," said McComas. Merry responded, "I don't like it, but if it is, then it is and I have to do what you all say." Cartmill explained the intention behind the policy. "We're not trying to hurt anybody - we're just trying to make this work," she said. "The policy we have in place now is not being followed." County Attorney Bill Watson suggested the idea of allowing employees to use their vehicles the same way they have been, but pay a set rate for the privilege.
Cartmill responded, "They would have to pay taxes on the leased value of the car. They can still have them [vehicle takehome privileges], just pay taxes." County Manager Chris Tatum clarified. "In the past, the vehicles were not taxed - they were just considered part of the job, but now the IRS considers them a taxable benefit," he explained. "They've given us guidelines and we're just trying to abide by them." Tatum said most vehicles used by county employees fall between the 18-and-25-percent tax bracket, averaging $1,000 to $1,500 in annual taxes. Seconds later, the commissioner made a decision to kill the SEE ISSUE ON PAGE 4

Going into the match-up with the George Washington Patriots, the Cabell Midland Knights knew what they wanted to do. “Our game plan was simple,” Cabell Midland coach Matt Stead said. “Slow down Jon Elmore.” Unfortunately for the Knights, they were unable to overcome a slow start and could not stop Elmore, who had a game high 21 points for the Patriots. George Washington jumped out to a 12-0 lead early in the first quarter, using both their size and quickness advantage to take control. The Knights did not get on
A third of the way through the season the Lady Knights are finding their stride. The unbeaten Cabell Midland Lady Knights lost to Huntington Lady Highlanders, defeated by a score of 54-41. Two days later the Lady Knights bounced back and defeated Princeton 56-27, improving their record to 5-1. Cabell Midland started the match-up with Huntington strong, beginning the first quarter with a 9-2 run and controlling the pace of the game by exploiting their size advantage down low. However, the Lady Highlanders

Page 2 –Thursday,January 16,2014 Workshop for sportsrelated pain and injury The Marshall Recreation Center will be hosting a special hour of MELT with Susan Robarts at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21. MELT is a simple self-treatment technique that helps people get out of and stay out of chronic pain. MELT is not exercise. It is not a diet. It is a simple method using soft balls and a soft roller that you can do at home to restore neurological balance, stability, and joint mobility. In this workshop, you will learn how to MELT at home to decrease the “stuck stress” that has accumulated in your body from normal activities and daily living. Robarts, BSC, CPT, and instructor of the class, said, "MELTing your body is just as important as brushing your teeth in regards to self-care. You brush your teeth for two reasons: one, to have fresh breath for the short-term, and two, to keep your teeth healthy for the long-term. Look at MELT the same way. Here are two reasons to MELT: one, to rid your body of the ‘stuck stress’ that has accumulated throughout the day, and two, to give your

joints and tissues the proper hydration they need to keep you free of pain and disease over time. MELT takes about as long as it does to brush your teeth, so why not give your body the selfcare it deserves and needs?" Members and non-members of the Rec Center are all welcome. This class is ideal for athletes and anyone with chronic pain. The cost is $20 for members and $28 for non-members. Call 304-696-4732 for more information.

Cabell County school board discusses calendar, excess levy
Bicentennial plans continue through 2014 By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
By Amanda White For The Cabell Standard
The reauthorization of the Cabell County Excess Levy and the school calendar for the remainder of the year were among the two items the Cabell County Board of Education discussed at its first meeting of the new year. The school calendar for the remainder of this school year will prove to be more difficult than ever as the board members must find a way to ensure that 180 full school days are provided to every student. In the past, the board was required to plan for 180 instructional days but were allowed to have less if emergencies occurred, such as snow days or the recent water ban affecting Culloden Elementary School. The change, made the by legislatures, is in the state code section §126-73-5 where it says, “Each county board of education must develop an inclement weather and emergencies policy designed to guarantee that 180 separate days of instruction are provided to students.” Cabell Superintendent William Smith told board members that the missed days could result in the school system needing to extend teacher’s contracts beyond their paid 200 days. This means the county will have to find the funds to subsidize their salaries, he said. The School Board approved the formation of a committee consisting of teachers, administrators, service person-
nel and board of education members to study the issue. The committee will work on the school calendar and advertise the required two public hearings. The hearings will most likely take place during a regularly scheduled board meeting. Board members also discussed the reauthorization of the excess levy. The excess levy under which Cabell County schools still operates was first passed in 1954. It adds a significant amount of money to the Board of Education’s yearly budget. The funds collected from the levy contribute to a myriad of school functioning, including but not limited to text books, staff development and support for food service programs. Assuming the levy is approved by the county clerk, it will be up for vote in the May 13 primary. During the Jan. 7 meeting the board unanimously approved three school trips for various Cabell Midland High School students, a continuation of a partnership with Shoe Carnival at the Huntington Mall and the renewal of an interagency agreement between the Cabell County Board of Education and Mildred Mitchell-Bateman Hospital to help students enrolled in the practical nursing program to gain clinical experience. The Cabell County Board of Education meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month at 5:30 P.M. in the Central Office Board Meeting Room. The meetings are open to the public.

Work that began in 2013 to promote the village's bicentennial still continues. Committee members Chris Tatum and Donnie Plybon, who are also members of the city council, agree that events surrounding the celebration have gone well. "It was a great success," Plybon said. "We had "welcome signs" for the bicentennial, a T-shirt design contest, the launching of Celebrate Barboursville's website which we can use well past our 200th birthday." He is also working with Tatum to place a new Barboursville pictorial sign inside the Barboursville Mall and the Community Center. Tatum added some ideas he hopes to help the village accomplish this year. "We can replace all the walking trail signs, about 20 of them, with signs made out of material that will be better in the weather about $90 per sign," he said. Mayor Paul Turman agreed with the decision. During the first council meet-
ing of 2014, Village leaders reflected on mementos from last year. From hosting another successful state soccer tournament to putting on a Lee Greenwood concert, 2013 was full of community-geared events virtually every month. "These were all activities that brought people to Barboursville," said Turman. "Events are what people talk about." The mayor continued, "A lot of people hear negative things about West Virginia, but they are surprised when they come in." Next, Police Chief Mike Coffey shared a recap of the department's busy year. Officers responded to 1,142 general reports in 2013, he said. "We lost four officers - two to Huntington Police Department, one to the Cabell County Magistrate's Office and one to death," Coffey said. "We hired four additional officers and they're doing a good job for us and in the training process at this time." Turman responded with gratitude. "I'm sure they'll do a great job. I've been here 12 years and have heard no complaints," the mayor
said. "I appreciate your professionalism - you're recognized in West Virginia for being topnotch." Next, Turman announced the release of the new 2014 Barboursville Calendar by Jeanette Rowsey. It can be purchased at Village Hall and through www.lostvillageofbarboursville.co m. In other news, the council approved the first reading of the new Floodplain Ordinance. "FEMA required that we update the ordinance to include the new map," said Public Works Director Danny Porter. "We do this to remain in good standards." The council ended the meeting with the approval of a $3,000 donation to the Huntington Area Development Council (HADCO). The Village has donated to HADCO since 2004, Turman said. "HADCO helps promote Barboursville, especially when we have activities," the mayor noted. Turman made the motion. Councilmember Orman Hall seconded. The Barboursville Council meets again at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday Jan. 21 in the Community Center.
First flu death has county on alert By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
Cabell County's first flu-related death proves no one is immune to the infectious disease. A patient of St. Mary's Medical Center lost his life. Influenza and other health complications led to the young man's death, according to hospital reports. Elizabeth Ayers, director of health wellness for Cabell-Huntington Health Department said the flu, especially H1N1 and Influenza have peaked among people between 24-and-35-yearold patients this season. The flu-related death involved a man in this age group, the Associated Press reported. "This is a very unfortunate situation, but this sometimes happens with the flu," Ayers said. "It shows just how severe it can be." Every year, more than 36,000 victims die due to flu-related complications, she said. Infants, children and seniors are the most vulnerable, Ayers noted. However, Cabell County residents can take proactive measures in preventing the flu. The Health Department offers free flu vaccines from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Fri-
day. "It's still not too late to get the shot," Byers said. "It's really important to get vaccinated to help stop the spread." She said it takes about two weeks for the body to build immunity after the receiving the shot. The Cabell-Huntington Health Department has seen more flu cases and administered more flu shots during the past few weeks than usual, Ayers said. The typical flu season begins in Dec. and extends until Feb.. "This is when it's common for us to see flu cases," she said. "It really raises the importance for flu shots." In addition to receiving vaccinations, there are other precautions county residents can take

to avoid the infectious disease. Below is a list from the Centers for Disease Control and Infection: · Constantly wash hands · If sick, stay home · Cover mouth and nose when coughing · Avoid touching eyes, nose and mouth · Clean and disinfect commonly touched surfaces · Avoid close contact with those who are sick For more information on flu and prevention, visit www.cdc.gov.

ISSUE FROM PAGE 1 policy change. "Let's table it [the policy change] and get rid of it indefinitely," Cartmill said. The commission approved the motion. Although the policy change is not in effect, the requirement to pay taxes on county vehicles driven to and from work remains. Cabell County offices of the EMS, 911, Assessor, Prosecutor and Sheriff are affected. About 20 county employees will
pay the tax, which is set to be deducted from payroll, Tatum said. In other discussions, the commission approved the reinstatement of Nancy Cartmill as president. Commissioner Bob Bailey voted against the measure. "It's time we get a different view in here," he said. "There's nothing wrong with Cartmill, but for her to be president again for a fourth term in a row - I just think [Commissioner Anne] Yon should be president and find out what it's like." Cartmill and Yon voted to keep the current president in place. The Cabell County Commission meets again at 10 a.m. Thursday Jan. 23.

WeeklyDevotional By Mary Jane Thought for the week: 2 Corinthians; 4:18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. (KJV) We are entering into a New Year, what does it hold for each of us? Do we worry about what things are not yet happened? They will happen and then too soon be only a past memory. Or we can decide this beginning year to let go and let God take care of it - with trust in HIM. 2 Corinthians 5:7 for we walk by faith, not by sight. I know this is the hardest task to do when things seem to come at us from every angle. But if you can just let yourself go and say here it is God I cannot handle it, He will take care of you. Forty three years ago this Jan. 17th, my husband came home from his job of 15 years, and said I have resigned and am going to
work for the Lord. We had a house payment, three small children with a comfortable salary. After some communication, two weeks later, two men and a truck from the Charleston Union Mission, Charleston WV, came and picked up our belongings, and we all moved into a three bedroom apartment - living among prison parolees, derelicts, mentally impaired, homeless people. Not one time was I ever afraid for my children or husband. God was simply in that place. We had more than we needed, we sat down each evening to a prepared dinner, because Robbie was a recovering alcoholic chef from the then Daniel Boone hotel in Charleston Our clothes were new items donated from the Diamond Dept. store; they seemed to always just fit. And we had many friends; church services were required in attendance every night of the week. This was at a time when the
Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens Trapped in ice The recent situation with the Russian expedition ship made me think of the ship Endurance and Mr. Shackelton who was the captain of that ship. He and a group of man headed to Antarctica to explore and to set up a camp there. The ship became engulfed by the ice and the ship began to crack so the men had to stay in tents outside the ship on the ice. They had run out of food, but they ate the animals that were with them on the ship. Mr. Shack-
elton took care of his men and he also ‘endured’ as is the name of the ship. Mr. Shackelton was far from home and had no communication with the outside world like the people on the Russian ship were communicating. I believe all the men prayed and asked God for help that they would all make it back alive and I think all made it back to their home country - if I am not mistaken.

The Cabell Standard Mission had inherited 800 acres where it is currently now located (on South Park Road in Charleston). An accountant was needed to see that the money was used to rebuild the Mission; that is how God used my husband Garry. After a new four story shelter and office building, a new Chapel, a new elderly people’s home, a new Mission store, and renovation of the children’s home was completed - six years later my husband said my job is finished here and we moved back to Milton. This is a facility that God truly and honestly uses to restore new life in many ways, for I have seen it with my own eyes - things happen which are eternal. Mr. Murdock, the director and wife Margarite at that time, most friends, and acquaintances have either moved on or are deceased by now, but it was an experience that taught me to always remember this verse. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thane own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. Prayer: My prayer is that this New Year, may you put your Trust in God and let Him direct your path. Amen.
durance of the men who made the trek before them. You really find out the real character of people when they are in tragic situations. I like survivor movies and books and how survivors mostly think of others and not themselves. I read a story of a missionary who had a wife and daughter coming back from the United States and flying into Columbia, South America. The girl's mother was killed in the plane crash but the girl who was about 15 survived. Other survivors on the plane decided they would stay in the jungle with the plane. The girl's dad had always told her to get out of the jungle as the animals will come and kill you. She told the others about this, but they did not listen. The girl walked for days and days and finally came upon a village where the people were kind and knew her dad and his work in the jungle. They took her to the next village where she met with her dad. Later as the search crew looked for the plane all were dead and not one survived. The animals had killed the remaining people. I read the story and the girl said that most of the time you would stay with the aircraft, but not in a jungle. I have never forgotten that story.

Community pushes through crisis By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
After a chemical spill into the Elk River contaminated the water supply of residents in the Culloden area, people banded together to help get through the crisis. Late last week, about 7,500 gallons of a chemical called MCHM leaked from a Freedom Industries storage tank and reached the water intake for West Virginia American Water Co.’s treatment plant that serves all or part of nine counties. West Virginia American issued a “do not use” order on Thursday evening, which meant some 300,000 cus-
tomers in the affected areas essentially could use their water only to flush toilets – no drinking, cooking, or bathing in the contaminated water. In response, volunteers throughout area cities stepped up as to help those without the lifesustaining commodity. People poured into Milton to receive free water from the city's plant. "We've already given away 25 gallons today," Gerald Clagg, supervisor of Milton Water said early Friday afternoon, as things were just becoming public. The Cabell County EMS sent two, 500-gallon tankers to aid the affected areas of Cabell County.
Milton was unaffected but Culloden was hit by the contamination. Resident Lamisa Hodge drove a few miles from her home to Milton, in search of help. She received it. "This is great, because I had to buy water and it's really hard to find right now," Hodge said. Clagg filled up her bottles. Next, as the woman drove away, she rolled down her window and said, "There are angels among us." Across the road, at Piggly Wiggly, people from the nine counties affected by the chemical spill flooded inside the grocery store to purchase water. The business

"It's been a real inconvenience to a lot of people, but we're reloaded and ready to go." Mayor Tom Canterbury was proud to see his city stepping up to help those in need. "People came as far as Elkview and Buffalo to get water," he said. "Friday was really busy, and hundreds came in." Canterbury continued, "We wanted to be a good partner everyone needed to jump in and help out, and I think they did." Volunteers from Woodmen of

Christian's Sports Beat: Running in the winter
By: Christian Deiss
CHARLESTON - Remember less than two weeks ago when the thermometer dropped below zero? Well that forced a lot of runners to train inside - including me and my parents. That also got me to thinking just how runners should train during winter months. I went to a local expert that I thought could answer my questions on the subject - Chris Parsons, Cabell Midland High School’s Track and Cross Country Coach and Athletic Director. I asked Parsons, despite the cold temperatures during winter, why is it important to train during that time, “There are two types of runners. There is the seasonal runner, which is one that doesn’t start training until the season starts, their actual season is ei-
ther track or cross country, so they wouldn’t start training until March, go for about three months and then take a big break until August and go until October; and there is the runner that is a bit more serious about the sport and realizes to reach their full potential they need to be a 12-month runner. Does that mean you have to run every single day, no, but year-round training improves their competitive ability.” Parsons has coached high school runners for over three decades. I try to run at least once a week and training for soccer three times a week so I understand it’s good to work out various body parts. I asked Coach Parsons what types of training should a runner do during winter, “A runner should maintain the same sort of training that they do during warmer months if possible. Maybe during the winter months working on their base with a little more mileage would help. You train your body all year long, just a little different in the winter.” Last year I managed to get in over 250 miles, while competing in nine races, all-time highs for me. During the winter I mostly run inside on a treadmill and indoor track. There are times though when I get a chance to run out-
SUPERVALU FROM PAGE 1 Gary Walton, president and CEO of the Huntington Area Development Council, said, “I hate to see any business close, but our goal is to get beyond the closure and get something else in that space if at all possible. There are companies out there looking for warehouse space.” Walton said he had offered SUPERVALU his help in marketing the building. Walton went on to say that many individuals may not know about all of the state agencies that are available to help with employee retraining. Walton said right now Cabell County has a low unemployment rate of 4.7 percent, which means there are peo-
ple out there looking for employees. One agency that can help connect the employee with the employer is Workforce WV. When asked about the effect that the consolidation may have on the city of Milton, Mayor Tom Canterbury said, “Sure it will have an impact, but not a great big effect on the city itself.” Canterbury went on to say that he’s sure many of the workers stop and buy gas or food when they’re in Milton. But, as SUPERVALU is not inside the city limits, Milton will not be losing any B&O taxes. ‘The big thing is … I really hate it because people will lose their jobs,” he said. “I really do.”

side and I know I need to wear the proper clothing, which Parsons agreed with, “Everything depends on what the weather is outside. If it’s a real cold day, your best bet is to go in layers. You will see a lot of people wear a cotton t-shirt and wear a big sweatshirt and think it’s warm. But what you really need to do is wear a dry fit shirt against your body, which doesn’t hold moisture, which can make you cold during your run. The colder it is, the more layers you need with a wind breaking top for the outside layer. Don’t forget to wear a hat because that’s where most of the heat escapes the body and also think about layering your gloves.” Parsons told me what socks a runner should wear when running in cold temperatures, “A dry fit sock is probably the way to go again keeping the moisture out and since your feet are moving anyway, they stay warm a little better.” The coldest it has been for me during an outside run was 18-degrees for the Turkey Trot 5-K on Thanksgiving morning in Huntington. I mostly run on a treadmill, but when I run outside it’s usually on the sidewalk or a trail. Parsons admits he’s not much of a fan of treadmills and prefers trail running, “If you can run

If you have to stay inside, the treadmill will work, but your legs take less beating outside on trails. But if it is really icy outside, the treadmill is the way to go.” Coach Parsons liked that I run and play soccer, which he called a form of cross training for very young people, “Cross training is
great to get your core in shape. It’s a great thing for not only young people but everyone.” For more information on winter running races, check out the following websites, www.tristateracer.com, www.tallmantrackclub.com or stop by Robert’s Running and Walking Shop in either Huntington or Charleston.

New test replaces GED The West Virginia Department of Education recently selected a new vendor for the test that allows students to earn a high school equivalency diploma. The former exam, the GED test, has been replaced by a new exam, the Test Assessing Secondary Completion, or TASC for short. Even though the TASC has replaced the GED, it does not mean work already completed by students on the GED is lost. Scores on passed sections of the GED can be combined with scores from the TASC, but only through the end of the year. “If you’ve been working toward earning your high school equivalency diploma with the GED, it is important to get prepared for the TASC right away so you won’t lose your previous work,” said Gail Boone, NBCT and Adult Basic Education Instructor at the Cabell County Career Technology Center. “Students should not be intimidated by the new test. It is different than the GED in that it is eventually going to be aligned with Common Core standards, but it’s not necessarily any harder. And, Cabell County is fortunate to have two Adult Basic Education
(ABE) centers where we can offer students all the support they need as they prepare to take the test.” The two Adult Basic Education centers in Cabell County are located at the Cabell County Career Technology Center and at Mountwest Community and Technical College. At these centers, certified teachers help prepare students for the readiness exam and for the final exam. Thanks to an act of the West Virginia Legislature, services at these centers and the exams themselves are offered at no cost to students. The Adult Basic Education centers assess a student’s strengths and weaknesses, and help students prepare for the tests by answering questions, offering guidance, and assisting students as they study. Instructors can even help students enroll in an online study course, which is also offered at no cost. “What we’re trying to accomplish is to give students a second chance at completing their high school education,” Boone said. “We want them to be able to either move on in their work or to further their education or vocational training. Without a diploma, people find they just
don’t have the choices and mobility that others do.” Boone says one of the advantages of the new TASC is that it can be administered online. To facilitate this, a dedicated computer testing lab is being prepared at the Adult Basic Education center at the Cabell County Career Technology Center. The lab, which is planned to accommodate 30 testtakers at a time, is slated to be completed by the end of Feb.. To learn more about earning your high school equivalency diploma, you can visit the Adult Basic Education centers during the following hours: Cabell County Career Technology Center: 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday and Friday and 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday Mountwest Community and Technical College: 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Thursday. For more information, please contact Gail Boone, NBCT and Adult Basic Education instructor at the Cabell County Career Technology Center, by calling 304-5285106; or, you can reach Tara Fry, ABE Instructor at Mountwest Community and Technical College, by calling 304-710-3422.

New findings can help combat common ailments (StatePoint) From high blood pressure to cancer, serious ailments often strike, despite our best efforts to maintain good health. With the rapid pace of medical advancements and treatment options emerging, conventional medical wisdom can sometimes lag behind innovations in disease management. Furthermore, there’s often little attention paid to nutrition’s role in health conditions. “Our healthcare system is a disease model, not a prevention model, and reimbursement is based upon sickness, not wellness. We need to better integrate all facets of care,” says Dr. Steven V. Joyal, chief medical officer with Life Extension, Inc., an organization dedicated to increasing the functional human lifespan. It’s this thinking that spurred the creation of Life Extension’s 2014 edition of the Disease Prevention and Treatment Book, which seeks to fill those gaps. From cancer to multiple sclerosis, the book offers 1400 pages of information on integrating pharmaceutical treatment options,
nutritional support and lifestyle changes for optimal health. For example: High Blood Pressure A major risk factor for heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and kidney disease, high blood pressure threatens the life of every third American adult. Intensive lifestyle changes can ease blood pressure management. When this isn’t enough, pharmaceutical options can help. For example, blood pressure is best controlled with lower doses of multiple antihypertensive medications rather than a single large dose of medication. Furthermore, side effects can be greatly reduced. “Many patients are lulled into a false sense of security by normal blood pressure readings at their periodic doctor’s visits. But quite frequently, patients experience gaps in control, putting them at risk for stroke and heart attack,” says Joyal. Joyal recommends considering the following: * With an inexpensive at-home blood pressure monitor, take readings at multiple times throughout the day, tracking val-

Your doctor can determine whether to modify your treatment regimen based upon the results. * Stay fit and exercise. A healthy body weight and high degree of cardio respiratory fitness reduce hypertension risk, and if you already have high blood pressure, can help you achieve better control. * Hold the salt. High sodium intake can make high blood
Stress can make you fat (StatePoint) Overeating is all too easy. But there’s more at play when it comes to packing on pounds. Another factor you may not even be aware of is stress. Here are some important things to know about your body’s response to stress: Stress Hormones We all have a built-in stress response. It’s a complicated set of physiological reactions that help keep you alive during dangerous situations. Here’s how it’s supposed to work: You experience an acute stressor. Thousands of years ago, this could have been a tiger trying to eat you. Today, it could be the inlaws coming to stay with you. In response, adrenal glands release the stress hormone cortisol into your bloodstream, initiating an increase in blood sugar used for immediate energy to fight, run or slam on your car brakes. Once the stressor is dealt with, the cortisol leaves your system and things return to their normal metabolic state. But unfortunately today, many of us are constantly stressed, causing significant metabolic imbalances. Chronic Stress From when we wake up to when we go to bed, the average person deals with hundreds of low-grade stressful events, like rush hour traffic, projects with impossible deadlines, troubles with kids, spouses or pets.
According to Michael A. Smith, M.D. host of “Healthy Talk” on RadioMD.com and senior health scientist with the Life Extension Foundation in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, this state of affairs is chronically elevating cortisol levels, which means blood sugar is constantly being mobilized for energy. “And when you don’t burn the sugar, it gets stored as body fat,” says Dr. Smith. “This is just one of the metabolic imbalances caused by too much cortisol. There are many other problems caused by chronic stress that can pack on the fat.” Solutions New research shows that white kidney beans can suppress appetite. So if you’re craving a
snack, have a serving of kidney beans instead of reaching for last night’s pizza or a bag of potato chips. Feeling tense? Try some stress reduction activities, like jogging, meditation or breathing exercises. Also, consider adaptogenic herbs, which have long been used for their mood balancing and stress reducing effects. For example, a number of clinical trials demonstrate that repeated administration of rhodiola extract exerts energizing effects that increase mental focus.

pressure worse. Read labels. Even if you aren’t reaching for salt, many pre-packaged convenience foods, meats and cheeses contain significant amounts of sodium. * Get plenty of beneficial nutrients, especially potassium and magnesium, which are important for vascular health. Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid arthritis could pose more than just a risk to
comfort. Systemic inflammation hastens the onset of other agerelated diseases, including cardiovascular disease. “For optimal longevity, we need to integrate lifestyle changes with pharmaceutical treatments, rather than blindly assume that all a patient needs is more medication,” says Joyal. In addition to doctor-prescribed treatments, Life Extension researchers have scoured medical literature, finding several nutrients help support health in rheumatoid arthritis patients: * Fish oil * Krill oil blend * Gamma linolenic acid * Vitamin D * Vitamin B6 * Green tea extract * Quercetin * Folate More information about integrating lifestyle changes into treatment plans for various medical challenges can be found at www.LifeExtension.com/dpt. By taking advantage of new findings in medicine and science, optimal health may be better achieved.
Tips for finding happiness (StatePoint) Are you living a happy life? Most of us face daily routines filled with the stresses of jobs and busy family schedules. And bad news seemingly is all around us, in an increasingly violent world filled with strife and scandal. “All over the world, people are finding that there really is a way to live happily. They trust life and believe things will turn out well and, if not, they cope. Life tends to prove us right, which is why a positive attitude is so important,” says J. R. Lankford, author of “The Covert Messiah,” which poses interesting questions regarding society, religion and science, as part of a fast-paced mystery thriller series. In a deeply flawed world,
Lankford offers some timeless advice for people looking to find serenity and happiness in their daily routines: * Let the things of tomorrow worry about themselves. Yes, keep up with important events, but a steady diet of bad news isn’t good for you. * Teach your children that they have the power to make the world a better one and it starts with belief in oneself. * Take time each day to focus on the good in the present moment rather than being lost in worrisome and often pointless thought. Meditating even 15 minutes a day can change your life. * Set a good example by choosing to notice the good and being happy yourself.

New Toyota leader sees bright future By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
As the first female president in the history of Toyota’s successful Buffalo plant, Millie Marshall wants to inspire other female leaders while also continuing the amazing growth the facility has experienced over nearly two decades. "My career has been a journey, not a destination," Marshall said. Her road to success was ignited more than 24 years ago. The first step along Marshall's drive to Toyota presidency began in Georgetown, Ky., where she worked as a specialist in the information systems department in 1991. Next, she accelerated to general manager of administration at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Huntsville, Ala., in 2003. In 2009, she served as vice president of human resources at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc. in Erlanger, Ky. In 2012, Marshall moved up to senior vice president of manufacturing at the Buffalo plant. Just weeks ago, she began as president of the local plant. It's a dream the Hurricane res-
ident never thought would become reality. "I had never imagined that I would one day be a plant president, and I am very honored and appreciative of this opportunity," she said. "When I was selected, my first thought was, 'What an incredible opportunity.' " Marshall makes history as the first woman president of the plant. She believes the milestone is something that can inspire. "My hope is that other young women will look at my experience and think, 'I can do anything,' " Marshall said. Carrying this attitude in her heart, the local Toyota leader believes the future will be bright for the Buffalo area. In accomplishing her vision, she will employ goals that include everything from expansion to increased community support. "We just recently announced an expansion with our transmissions that will increase our annual volume from 500,000 to over 700,000 annually," Marshall said. "We also want to continue to be a strong community supporter, so we can help our state be a great place to live and work." Since the Buffalo facility opened in 1996, it has sped into

The local facility has expanded eight times; has broken the company record by being the only plant outside of Japan to produce more than 10 million transmission units; has created countless jobs for local residents, and is hailed as the only Toyota plant in North America to produce transmissions.
Tudor’s Biscuit World gives Make-A-Wish® check for $33,000
Make-A-Wish receives a check for $33,000 at Tudor’s Biscuit World in Teays Valley location. The check will help grant more than nine wishes of West Virginia children. On Thursday, Dec. 19, 2013, Tudor’s Biscuit World gave Make-A-Wish a check for $33,000 to help grant more than nine wishes of West Virginia children diagnosed with life-threatening medical conditions. The presentation was held at the Teays Valley, WV location. Tudor’s Biscuit World has
been raising money to fulfill the wishes of Make-A-Wish children since 1993, that’s over 20 years of collecting money from our customer’s by our annual promotions and wishing wells that are located in Tudor’s Biscuit World locations. Thanks to the efforts of Tudor’s Biscuit World cus-
tomers and employees $28,000 was raised from our annual Oct. fundraiser to grant the wishes of five West Virginia children. Throughout the month of October, Tudor’s Biscuit World customers were invited to purchase a $1 “pumpkin” in support of Make-A-Wish. To energize the fundraiser, Tudor’s held a company-wide contest with prizes for the locations that raised the most money. Make-A-Wish® Greater Pennsylvania and Southern West Virginia is a non-profit organization that grants wishes to children, aged 2 ½ to 18, with life-threatening medical conditions. Currently, the local chapter is one of the most active in the country, having fulfilled more than 13,000 wishes. For more information, please call Make-A-Wish at (800) 664-9474 or visit its Web site at www.wishsouthwv.org. Tudor’s Biscuit World is a West Virginia restaurant company specializing in homestyle breakfasts, sandwiches and dinner entrees. Tudor’s has over 65 locations throughout the state and outlets in Ohio and Kentucky.
Marshall hopes milestones such as these continue to drive the destiny of Buffalo's Toyota plant. She spoke about the recent $90 million expansion project that began in fall of 2013. "We are still in the planning preparation stage, and we will begin external hiring the first quarter of 2014 with the start of production in the fourth quarter of 2014," Marshall explained.
"This is a very aggressive schedule that has not been done before. Once again, the TMMWV team has accepted the challenge and I am sure we will be successful." The project is expected to bring in about 80 local jobs between now and 2015, according to estimates by Toyota. Marshall is confident in the prediction. "As long as we continue to practice the Toyota Way, which encompasses a challenging spirit, along with continuous improvement, teamwork and respect for people, the future will continue to be bright," she said. With a record of ongoing success preceding her, Marshall's outlook is one of inevitable progress. "As North American demand is increasing, I am energized about TMMWV’s future," she said. "This plant is driven to exceed and has accomplished great things – we are challenged in the spirit of continuous improvement that each year will be better than the year before." Toyota's West Virginia Motor Manufacturing's new president continued, "With our talented and dedicated team members, I am confident that we will continue to be successful."

Midland boys battle for 60-55 victory over Ripley By Heather Barker For The Cabell Standard
When interviewed before the game, Cabell Midland’s head coach Matt Stead said he planned to “play hard and get a win.” That’s just what the Knights did. The game against Ripley was originally set for Jan. 8, but it was moved to a day later due to school closings statewide. Stead said he thought that did affect the game in some ways. “We only had one day of practice this week and you could tell we were rusty, but I think most of the state was off,” Stead said. “It’s no excuse that we weren’t crisp tonight, but the layoff did hurt a little bit.” Sawyer Beckett started the game by making the first shot for the Knights, which was soon followed by a shot by the Vikings. The back-and-forth battle continued throughout the entire game until the final buzzer, with Midland ending up on top 60-55. “We wanted to play uptempo, a full-court game, and try to score as many points and transition as best as possible against a set defense,” Stead said. With 1.8 seconds left in the fourth quarter, Cabell Midland received a set of foul shots, which were both made and gave the Knights a five-point lead to finish the game. “It was a close game, and we found ways to execute down stretch,” Stead said. “We got to the foul line there at the end and made those shots, which is always so crucial.” Players noted their opponents’ want for the win, but the Midland team knew what it

Photo by Heather Barker needed to do to get the job done and get the win. “I think they were a desperate team, and they gave us a good run,” said Mark Wilcox. “We just tried to stay as focused as possible on our goal to win.” Midland’s coach is appreciative of this game and is hopeful for future games to come. “We’re going to play a lot of close games, and that gives me
hope that we’ll be able to finish down the road,” he said. The Knights (2-4) lost a tough game on the road Thursday night, falling 67-54 at Princeton. Beckett had 25 points in the loss, and Wilcox had 10. Cabell Midland is back in action at home Jan. 21 against Capital.
BOYS FROM PAGE 1 the board until the 2:53 in the first, but were able to close the quarter with a 6-0 run that brought the score to 14-7 after one. “We had no problems with effort, even with the slow start,” Stead said about the Jan. 11 game. “They didn’t put their heads down and kept fighting all the way through.” Both teams traded baskets throughout the second quarter, with neither side able to build or sustain any momentum. At the half, Cabell Midland trailed by a score of 27-17. George Washington came out with a renewed vigor on defense
to start the third quarter, capitalizing on Cabell Midland turnovers and foul trouble. The Patriots dominated the third quarter, outhustling the Knights to take a 4127 lead into the last quarter. Much like the second quarter, both teams traded baskets to start the fourth, which saw George Washington using some of their bench players to protect the lead. However, Cabell Midland clawed back into the game thanks to full court press. The Knights cut the lead to 11, but that was as close as they would get, as the Patriots pulled away at the end of the game with the final score of 60-43.
Dominick King had 13 points for the Patriots, while the Knights were led by Cole Tilley with 16 points and Mark Wilcox with 10 points. Even with the loss, Stead was proud of the intensity and effort his players showed throughout the game. “I told the guys in the locker room that this game proved we can play with the big dogs in this state,” Stead stated. “With effort like we showed tonight we can keep hanging around and win games like these.” The Knights will look to bounce back and will play Capital at home on Jan. 21.
were able to hang around, cutting the lead to 13-8 by the end of the quarter. With Cabell Midland’s coaching staff stressing patience, the Lady Knights were able to play efficiently throughout the second quarter, getting easy baskets in the post for center Emily Pitkin. The teams traded baskets for most of the quarter, as Huntington began to use their quickness advantage getting out on fast breaks to keep within striking distance, trailing 25-18 at the half. From the outset of the second half, Huntington stepped up the defensive intensity and was able to quicken the pace of the game with their press defense, forcing Cabell Midland into several turnovers. “We wanted to take care of the ball,” Cabell Midland guard Stephanie Bias said. “We’re a defensive minded team.” The Lady Highlanders took their first lead of the game 33-31 midway through the third and held onto that lead the rest of the quarter. “Our mental focus was there for three and a half quarters,” Coach Matt Adkins said. “But there was a five minute stretch there between the end of the third and beginning of the fourth quarters where it took us a little bit off our game plan.” The fourth quarter saw more of the same from both teams, as Huntington was able to get out on the fast break, thereby nullifying Cabell Midland’s size advantage. Pitkin and the rest of the Lady Knights’ frontcourt got into foul trouble, something they wanted to avoid. “Our posts got into foul trouble,” Adkins said, “but we knew that’s what they wanted to do, that was their game plan.” In the end, Huntington’s ability to run the fast break and force turnovers proved to be insurmountable for Cabell Midland, as Huntington went on a 13-0 run to put the game away. Pitkin led the Lady Knights in scoring with 14 points. Hunting-

ton’s Lacy Johnson led all scorers with 17 points. Despite their first loss of the season, it was a good learning experience for Cabell Midland. “We just need to try to stay calm,” Bias said. The Lady Knights were able to bounce back on Jan. 10 when they jumped out to an early lead against Princeton, never relinquishing control. “Our execution was good tonight,” said Adkins. “Everybody played well.” Cabell Midland began the game with an early 9-2 run thanks to pressure defense and great shooting. Princeton was simply unable to withstand the press, and found themselves trailing by a score of 20-5 at the end of the first quarter. Things settled down for both sides in the second, as Cabell Midland grinded the game down to a halt, using their size advantage inside with center Emily Pitkin and forward Sierra Jordan. Princeton was able to cut into the lead slightly, but the Lady Knights led 26-14 at the half. The third quarter saw the Lady Knights grab the momentum with more pressure defense, and used a 15-4 run to put the game out of reach, as they were able to maintain their intensity and a quickened pace throughout the rest of the game. In the end, Cabell Midland’s combination of size and intensity proved to be too much for Princeton, with the final score of 56-27 in favor of the Lady Knights. Pitkin once again led Cabell Midland with a game high 16 points, followed by Haley Haggerty with 15 points, and Sierra Jordan with 11 points. Adrianna Mitchem led Princeton with 8 points. “They were ready to go, loose and relaxed,” Adkins said of his team. “My hat’s off to my coaching staff and the girls.” The Lady Knights take on Riverside tonight and Woodrow Wilson on Friday.

Freshmen face new challenges in high school By Kanyon Nelson Cabell Midland High School
When the start of the school year comes around, many freshmen come in not sure how things will change in high school. Some try to prepare for the best, though. “I didn’t know what to expect coming in from middle school,
but after the first week I started to get the hang of high school,” said Cabell Midland freshman Drew Keeton. Every year before the school year starts, staff and faculty let freshmen come into the school for orientation and allow students to tour the school. “I think the biggest change
from middle school was the classrooms,” said sophomore Luke Smith. “I remember coming in lost and mad that I couldn’t find my classroom, but now I think it is pretty cool.” Some underclassmen say that midterms and finals are different from middle school, as well as homework and ACT/SAT prep.
High School students make decisions to change diets, eating Many teens in high school make the choice to take a different route with eating and their diet and become vegetarian. Whether it’s for health or religious reasons, or simply personal preference, cutting meat completely from one’s diet is a big decision. “I’ve been a vegetarian for three years now," said senior Brittany Ross. "I became one because we watched videos in health class about how they kill animals.” One common risk of becoming a vegetarian is missing out on important nutrients that meats can contain. Taking vitamins and eating certain foods is one way vegetarians avoid this Some students choose to change their diets to support a healthier lifestyle. These students decide to give up meat.

“I think the tests and studying have become more difficult,” said freshman Hunter Shockey. “Every day I am consumed with sports, homework and tests to study for the next day.” Freshmen teachers have also made the transition easier to high school for ninth-graders by giving them more activities to partici-
pate in such as the freshmen movie days and the freshmen field day at the football field. “Now that I am getting older, I realize I won’t have as many opportunities that I had as a freshman,” said Smith. “Freshman year was just a fun experience, and I hope anyone could have the same experience that I had.”
Transitioning can be tough By Bryce Hardiman Cabell Midland High School
Transition is sometimes the hardest adversity to overcome, and the change from high school to college can be a challenge. "My experiences in high school affected me and paved the way on how I developed in college," said Cabell Midland High School physical education teacher Bill Meadows. With many seniors making preparations for their college life, many are nervous about what's to come in their collegiate lifestyle. "College for me was a time from changing to a young teen to a man,” Meadows said. "It made me accountable and fully responsible for the good things and the bad." For many high school seniors, the memories and experiences you receive and live in high school can affect your collegiate life. "My athletic experiences affected me the most throughout my college and even adult life," Meadows added. "It gave me the mental and physical standpoint I wanted as an adult." With some reminiscing of high school and college, many students are just now beginning their high school journey. "When I hear the stories from my parents and my teachers about their high school and col-
lege memories, I only look forward to what's coming in the future," said freshman Gabby Childers High school can affect a person and prepare them as a student for what is to come in the long run. "What affected me more was my AP English teacher. She inspired me and pushed me every way possible," said language arts teacher Nick Karle. Administrators can make a substantial impact, and not only teaching students academic lessons, but life lessons. "She inspired me to be who I am today," said Karle. "My decisions I made throughout high school and college were paved by what I learned from her as a student." Many administrators think that college and high school are very similar in their own ways, but when asked what they liked more, five out of the five teachers preferred college. "College was a time where it has more freedom and time on my own hands," said Karle. For many seniors and students waiting for the first day of their collegiate life, administrators have much needed advice for any student. "College is truly a time where you are fully accountable," Meadows said. "It's a time where you a rejuvenated to become who you truly are."
