New EMS Station Moves Forward

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

BARBOURSVILLE—Construction on the new EMS station is progressing.

Crews from MIRC worked last week on the interior of the structure. The shell of the building is mostly complete. Six bays are visible now.

It is coming together, and Mayor Paul Turman is happy to have this important resource in the village.

“It is certainly needed,” he said. “We have more calls than most stations, and we used to have them [responders] come all the way from Ona or Huntington. This new station will be centralized to the area— halfway between exit 15 and 18, and near Route 60, Route 10 and East and West Pea Ridge.”

This project has been in the works for years. It moved forward last August when Cabell County commissioners accepted the low bid of $1.4 million from Hurricane-based MIRC. County and city leaders agreed on the 2.24 acres off Riverview Drive, near U.S. 60 SEE EMS ON PAGE 6

Morris Memorial Future Unveiled

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

MILTON – From national recognition to becoming a major economic driver, Morris Memorial Hospital sees a bright future coming.

One medical business is interested in leasing some of the building and steps are in motion toward placing the old hospital on the National Registry of Historic Places.

City leaders are excited about the potential this area gem holds.

Last August, the Cabell County Commission helped move the project forward with $5,000 to go toward placing Morris Memorial on the prestigious historical list.

Since then, the mayor and council members have met with architects and historic preservation consultants to discuss progress.

Acres of opportunity: Morris Memorial is a property ripe for harvest. Last week, city leaders met with architects and historic preservation consultants to discuss progress on placing the property on the prestigious National Registry of Historic Places.

This is the first step in securing a prosperous future from this building and its land. City leaders agree the 76-year-old building holds great potential. Photo by Justin Waybright This is just the first step in accomplishing a long-term goal that was born when the hospital shut its doors in 2008. The over-

all vision involves transforming this eastern Cabell County property into major economic fuel for Milton.

Train to Fight, Fight to Train

CULLODEN—A group of 26 brave men and women walk through fire to save others.

They face nightmarish environments, full of flames, darkness and intense heat.

Fire has eaten through several homes and apartments during the past four months, including two in one day. Anticipation and preparation have overtaken Culloden firefighters, because of the recent onslaught of blazes.

Earlier this month, Captain Chris Burger led firefighters to a fiery scene off Benedict Road.

“There were flames at the back of the house and through the roof,” he said. “We used a new Blitz line and in 10 to 15

Heated Meeting Proves Good for Fire Departments

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

HUNTINGTON—Area fire departments were hot topics during a fiery county commission meeting Thursday.

After discussing the possible removal of a person from the civil service commission, Commissioner Bob Bailey expressed frustration toward the notion and the county commission’s cohesiveness. He questioned the effectiveness of commissioners and the decisions they’ve made.

Amid the angry, debate-filled moments, Bailey looked toward fire fighters in the audience and spoke of placing more fire hydrants in rural areas of the county.

“We need to explore grants for fire hydrants in the county,” he told Tim Keaton, the county’s new grant, permit and planning coordinator. “We need these.”

Bailey continued, “We’ve promised this, but nothing’s been done.”

Keaton responded, “This could be a good thing, and maybe lower homeowner’s insurance.”

Firefighters in attendance seemed to be on board with the idea.

“We could probably use some, but they may need more in places like Ona and Salt Rock,” said Milton Firefighter David Powell.

Barry Smith, Ona Firefighter,

described the tedious task of using water, where there are no hydrants.

“You have to fill up the truck, then drive and shuttle the water,” Smith said. “In rural areas that need water, this is the only way, unless you call others to help.”

He said Ona should be wellequipped. Smith did show concern in areas near WV Route 2.

“They’re [the fire hydrants] very important to have,” he said.

Members from Ona, Ohio Valley and Milton’s fire departments learned of some good news Thursday.

Commissioners agreed to release four vehicles from the Cabell County Sheriff’s Department to the fire stations.

Ona and Ohio Valley received one, Milton two.

Firefighter George Robinson of Milton was happy to have the vehicles.

“We just got to fix them up now,” he said.

Cabell County Sheriff Tom McComas was happy to help.

County Manager Chris Tatum and Commissioner President Nancy Cartmill showed gratitude.

“Thanks sheriff for helping us out,” said Tatum.

Cartmill added, “The fire departments need working vehicles — thanks sheriff.”

“You’re welcome,” said McComas.

The Cabell County Commission will meet again at 10 a.m.

Thursday, Feb. 7 on the third floor of the courthouse.

Christin’s Corner

By Christin Daugherty Dear Christin, My boyfriend and I have been dating now for about 6 months.

Recently he has been staying out later and later, drinking with his friends. I don’t know whether he is cheating on me with another girl or not. I caught him once before but he swears he would never do it again. I don’t want to accuse him of something if he is innocent, but at the same time I don’t want to look like a fool either.

Should I stay, leave, confront him, or remain quiet? Any advice would be helpful at this point!

Sincerely, Crazy Fool Dear CF, First of all, you’re not crazy – don’t even think that way.

Sounds like you have a reason to be concerned, especially if this is not your first time around the block with this guy. It has been my experience that - once a cheater, always a cheater – even if he doesn’t do it again.

Let me explain. Once someone has cheated on their partner (this goes for guys AND girls) the trust that was once there is gone.

Even if you find it in your heart to forgive them, there will always be a little voice in the back of your mind that is questioning their every move. People say that they have totally forgiven their partner for their past wrong-doings.

That it was really hard at first but it gets better with time. But I call “BULL” on all that nonsense!

Look, does forgiveness work for some people? Sure. Does it work for most people? No it does not. It’s kind of like breaking a piece of fine china. Sure you can gather all the pieces and glue them back together, ever so delicately, until it is whole again. But the cracks are still very visible, and that is all you will look at every time you use it. And all it will take is one bump on a hard surface for the dish to shatter once again because, after all, it is not as sturdy as it once was.

Listen CF, ultimately it is up to you to decide what to do about your guy. Most women I know that have been in your position, and yes - even myself a time or two, have said that they just wanted to know for sure that he

was cheating because, like you, they didn’t want to accuse an innocent man. The truth of the matter is: he’s probably never going to tell you if he is. And the fact that you’ve caught him once before tells me that he will be smarter the second time around.

Or not. Guys usually aren’t nearly as slick as they think they are when it comes to sneaking around.

Either way, my advice to you would be to move on. Whether he is cheating right now or not is really irrelevant. The fact that you feel like you feel right now tells me that you are not truly happy with this relationship.

Sure, you may be in love, or think you are, but I believe that a person worth loving would never cheat on you. And they would also never leave you home alone while they go out partying with their friends. You deserve better than that, girl! We all do.

“Cheating on someone is deeper than people realize. It destroys their outlook on love, their future relationships, and peace within their self.” - Unknown Got a problem? Need some anContact me at swers? christin@theputnamstandard.co m *The opinions of this column are solely the opinions of this individual writer and are not the opinions of the Putnam Standard or Cabell Standard newspapers. *

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

Easy Chicken and Dumplings Ingredients: 2 1/4 cups biscuit baking mix 2/3 cup milk 2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth 2 (10 ounce) cans chunk chicken, drained

Art by Natalie Larson

Directions In a medium bowl, stir together the biscuit mix and milk just until it pulls together. Set aside.

Pour the cans of chicken broth into a saucepan along with the chicken; bring to a boil. Once the broth is at a steady boil, take a handful of biscuit dough and flatten it in your hand. Tear off 1 to 2 inch pieces and drop them into the boiling broth. Make sure they are fully immersed at least for a moment. Once all of the dough is in the pot, carefully stir so that the newest dough clumps get covered by the broth. Cover, and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

By Debra J. Harmes-Kurth

Send your poetry to Debra Harmes-Kurth 1042 Pike Street • Milton,WV 25541 Someone asked me recently ‘what I used to write a poem’.

Now it took me a minute to realize what exactly this person was asking me. My initial thought was imagination (which I have an abundance of by the way); my next thought was desire. I have often heard people remark that they do not believe they have the ‘talent’ to write a poem. My answer to them is always the same; do you want to write a poem? If you desire to write a poem, you can, will it be as polished as Yeats or Wordsworth, most likely not.

Will you become famous? I almost guarantee that you won’t.

Will you feel a sense of accomplishment because you sat down and transcribed your thoughts into the lines of a poem? Of course you will and you should. If you have ever thought ‘I wish I could put this picture, event or memory into words’ I say try it. I firmly believe that anyone can write if they desire to do so.

However, that was not the question I was being asked. This person wanted to know what I used as tools when writing. So for the next few columns I will be writing about what I use when I write. So, until next time keep reading, keep writing and by all means send it in to the above address or you can email it to cabellputnampoetry@hotmail.com. *****

PSC Orders Electric Utilities to Implement Vegetation Trimming Program to Protect against Future Outages The Public Service Commission today ordered all electric utility companies operating in West Virginia to file a petition to propose a comprehensive vegetation trimming program to maintain all rights-of-way over a proposed period of time. Petitions for the programs are to be submitted to the Commission within six months. The proposals must cover all distribution and transmission lines on an “end-toend, time-based cycle,” based on the utility’s specific operational and reliability targets. The pro-

posals also must indicate how the program will be coordinated with other entities that have facilities in the rights-of-way or attached to the utility poles, and that may also have an obligation to maintain the same rights-of way. In its Order, the Commission also required the companies to submit a proposed method for rate recovery of the increased costs that will be associated with the programs. The Commission Order stated that these future filings would be subject to public notice, comment and Commission Re-

view.

Today’s Order closes a General Investigation launched by the Commission for the purpose of looking into utility responses and practices following the June 29, 2012 derecho summer storm that left thousands of West Virginia utility customers without power for an extended period of time.

West Virginia State Museum to Unveil Sesquicentennial Exhibit on Jan. 31, 2013 CHARLESTON, WV - The West Virginia State Museum will commemorate the state’s 150th birthday with a special sesquicentennial exhibit that opens Thursday, Jan. 31, 2013, at the Culture Center in Charleston.

The final list contains suggestions from the public as well as from archivists, historians and other employees of the West Virginia Division of Culture and History.

Velma’s View

By Velma Kitchens A Mother’s Love A little girl was born. This little girl was born out of wedlock and it was the time when this was an unspeakable affair.

The little girl’s Mother and Dad loved each other very much, but the Dad refused to allow the little girl’s Mother to marry the Dad. Well, the little girl’s Grandpa told the little baby’s Mother that she would have to give the baby to the Dad and the Dad's Mother to raise.

This was a terrible thing for the Mother, but she had no choice. Her Dad made her give up her baby to the Dad and Grandma to raise.

One sad, sad day, the Mother took the baby across the small bridge and across Route 34 and into the arms of the baby’s Grandma.

The little girl and her Mother were very close as time went by, but the years they spent apart were so sad.

I cannot imagine giving up a child, but at least the young Mother was able to visit her little girl. The Daddy was good to her and everyone treated her well.

As she became older, she saw her Mother more often and they were very close.

The little girl’s mother told her how she had to make that desperate trip across that bridge to take her baby and put it into the arms of the Daddy to raise.

When I heard this true story, my heart melted as I know what a Mother’s love is for her children The only other love stronger is that of Our Savior, Jesus Christ.

He loves us more than our mothers do.

I cannot phathom that, but it is true.

Jesus Christ loves us more than anyone else and He is the only one who could shed His blood that we could go to Heaven to live with Him.

By Mary Jane “EATING OUT” Thought for the week: And it came to pass, that as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples; for there were many, and they followed him. MARK 2:15(KJV) Have you and friends or family decided to eat out, then soon realize it becomes a decision where to eat? There are so many restaurants to choose from, all serve a variety of foods Mexican, Chinese, fast foods, home cooked or just chicken, that you ask your taste buds, what do I want to eat?. Or friends, where do you want to eat? Then it becomes an instant mini problem.

Recently, while eating out, I sat and observed all the food on a salad bar, dessert bar, all the various meats, vegetables and breads and thought, should any child in America go to bed hungry, should any child in WV, go without food any day of the week?

I asked the waitress as she cleared tables, approximately how much left over food scraps daily, did she dispose of, she answered at least seven to ten large garbage cans full. This is only one restaurant.

Read in the book of Proverbs. The book of wisdom, about the ant (insect), her ways having no guide, she gathers her food in the harvest and is kept thru the winter.

I know the convenience of eating out, especially if both husband and wife work and there are other evening activities to attend to, and with cost of food sometimes it is probably cheaper for a family of four to have a prepared dinner. Times change, we must change with them.

But the ingredients in restaurant food and portions seem to create another problem. What if we were required by law to read a bible verse every time we ate a meal? Would there be less obesity? Of course this will never happen - most of us don’t remember to say Thank you God for our daily bread.

Do you ever think of all the wasted food in our country? There are homes in Cabell County with drug induced parents who have children that go hungry for food and love.

Sure we have countries such as my friend in Uganda that tell me of children dying from disease and malnutrition- what is the solution?

Most of us are caught up on that never stopping Ferris wheel going around and round.

(The original Ferris Wheel was designed and constructed by George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. ,for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago - since then the term has been used for all such structures.) And people too.

FAST AND FASTER! With everything we do, too many automated choices, finger-remote-controlled world we live in. So excuse me, I must go now and pay to exercise, after I eat!

Prayer: Our Father, who art still in Heaven, continue to give us our daily bread and may we be grateful for it, and may all be fed this day some way. Amen.

It’s moving right along: Work on the county’s eighth EMS station continues. One roof is partially up and the structure of six bays is complete. Photo by Justin Waybright and WV Route 10.

“We’ve been involved for a couple years trying to find the right location,” said Turman. “I think they chose well, and we’re happy to have it in the village.”

Edward Tucker Architects of Huntington worked with MSES Consultants of Clarksburg and GAI Consultants on the design

and engineering of this project — the county’s eighth EMS station.

It will be named after Cabell County EMS Director A. Gordon Merry. Merry worked closely with architects and commissioners to make this dream a reality for Barboursville.

“We’re placing it in an area

where it’s sorely needed,” he told reporters after the county purchased the land.

Turman continues to watch the construction progress daily.

“My hat’s off to EMS Director Gordon Merry and the Cabell County Commission for following through with the building,” he said.

can successfully be addressed during the renovation.

“In the old days they used to wrap all pipes with asbestos, but we didn’t find it in the plaster,” he said. “Other than that it’s a clean building, and problems aside, the foundation is solid—part of it is built on bedrock and the walls and shell of the building are in great shape.”

Like Conard, Rutledge sees great potential in the property.

“I’d love to see it re-developed,” he said.

Morris Memorial has a history that has touched nearly everyone in Milton. Conard told about some of his memories there. The council member and small business owner worked in the facility in 1966. Wes Ramsey, his grandfather, helped build it in 1936.

Since it shut down in 2008, the building lay abandoned.

“It would be super to see it back in working condition again,” said Conard.

To make this happen, the city must get the building listed on the national registry, then secure commitments from potential tenants and finally apply for grants to complete a major overhaul of the facility.

Both city leaders share a vision, fueled by the lease and oc-

cupation of this property. They see a dream that is larger than the facility itself.

The city owns the 189 acres of land surrounding the old hospital. Possibilities are endless, said Canterbury.

“We’re weighing all our options,” he said. “We’re thinking about what will be best for years to come.”

Rutledge shared the same sentiment.

“We’ve already got a couple inquiries on some parcels of land,” he said. “We’d like to get somebody for the long-run for the best fit overall.”

Canterbury described some possible plans for the future that include a new exit from the property and a mile-long walking trail. He hopes investors will see the potential of the area and move businesses to the property.

“This is what’s really going to impact Milton,” he said.

Conard agreed.

“There are numerous things that need to be done, but we can’t do them because of the budget,” he said. “This could bring more revenue to the city and help build it up.”

Canterbury looks forward to starting this project.

“I want to get it done,” he said.

MEMORIAL FROM PAGE 1 Tom Canterbury. “We just want to make sure that we get everything right and do what’s best for the city.”

Canterbury continued, “This takes time.”

The brick building spans across acres of land. Hallways, various rooms and high ceilings sprawl throughout the interior of the long complex.

Although there is cosmetic damage, potential is there, said Council Member Charlie Conard.

“Everything’s here,” he said.

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

Storm Water Coordinator Randy Rutledge agreed. The city worker tested the land for contamination from pesticide once used in the apple orchard there.

“We did have some questions with the EPA about the pesticide once used there: it was like arsenic dust, but I found nothing in the soil,” he said. “The tests came back good.”

There are a few issues in the building related to materials and construction methods used more than 76 years ago. Rutledge noted the asbestos in the pipes and lead in the paint. However, these are typical for buildings of this age, and he is confident they

Ramblings on the Hunting and Fishing Show

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

I did meet a couple of people at the West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Show in Charleston a

couple of weeks ago that would have made the trip worthwhile even if there were nothing else there.

First was Chris Lawrence, who does Metro News Outdoors.

Chris Lawrence was very influential on me as a youngster listening to his outdoors radio show, which is on radio stations around the state.

I also met a well-renowned knifemaker, who also had some deer whistles. Deer whistles are whistles made from pieces of deer antler.

As we were walking around, my 11-year-old son David noticed the whistles, wanted one and I told him to wait and see if he wanted to spend his money on something else. If he still wanted it at the end of the day – and still had money left – we'd

come back and get it. As we were leaving, little David had $5 left and still wanted the whistle.

We went back to see the whistleman, who was much more than a whistleman. He had some incredible Damascus-steel knives. As David bought the whistle, I looked over the knives.

The marbling in the steel – which the knifemaker does by heating the steel, folding it and hammering it thousands of times - was incredibly gorgeous.

As I admired his work, I thought “Wow! This stuff looks as good as Herb Derr's stuff.”

I was in Boy Scout Troop 210 in Clendenin with Herb's son Wyatt and Herb was a wonderful assistant scoutmaster. He was making knives as a hobby then and had a remarkable gift for it.

I can actually remember when

he made his first Damascus knives and he'd bring them to Scout meetings to show off.

Herb had the kindness and patience that all great Scout leaders need and we all loved him.

Of course, we boys were completely fascinated by his knives.

A few weeks before I left home for college, he said he was selling his business and making knives full-time. That was the last I'd heard of Herb Derr, but I can't see a good Damascus knife without thinking of him.

Even though I'd been standing at his table for 10 minutes, I didn't recognize it was actually the Herb Derr until he spoke.

Since I last saw him, he had lost a great deal of weight.

I said, jokingly, “Sorry Herb, I didn't recognize you. You must have shaved.”

I don't think he got the joke.

Judging from pictures, not only had he lost the weight, he had apparently grown a beard and shaved it since then. A lot can happen in 18 years.

Since I knew him, Herb moved from Clendenin to St. Albans. He's apparently also made quite a name – a deserved one for himself in the knife world.

I could not believe the number of members the National Rifle Association picked up at the event. The NRA dropped its annual membership dues for new members from $35 to $25, at least for the first year. The NRA was also buying tickets to the hunting and fishing show for those signed up.

harvest, minus the figures for Putnam and Cabell counties, which were released a few days later (and after press time).

Cabell County actually doubled its harvest from 2010. That's not saying a whole lot, since the turkey harvest for the whole county was five birds in 2010. Putnam County hunters matched the 2010 totals exactly with 21 birds.

I've heard that turkey hunting (I don't do a lot of it, plus I'm fairly new to the county) is good in Putnam and Cabell and biologists say the small numbers are mostly due

to a lack of hunters afield.

Congressional Sportsmen's legislation update: There was a bunch of legislation introduced in Congress last year. There's not enough space in the roundup to go into detail about the various bills. Luckily, I do have enough space to read more about the action legislators took: they did absolutely nothing.

Outdoor roundup Trout Stocking: I was surprised to see that some trout actually got stocked this month thanks to some wonderful warm winter weather. The irony being that – as I write this – it was six degrees above zero in Wheeling this morning. It was actually 25 degrees warmer in Anchorage today. Spring trout stocking will hopefully begin next month. Here are the waters that received a stocking of trout in January: Blackwater River, East Fork Greenbrier River, Krodel Lake, Laurel Fork (Randolph), Lick

Creek Pond, Little River East Fork Greenbrier River, Little River, West Fork Greenbrier River, Middle Wheeling Creek, North Fork South Branch (C&R), Rollins Lake, Shavers Fork (upper section), South Branch (C&R), South Branch (Smoke Hole), Spruce Knob Lake, Summit Lake, Wayne Dam and Williams River.

Nitro resident portraying “Mankiller” Ostenaco Blennerhassett State Park near Parkersburg will be having a historical series during Saturdays in February, with various historical

presentations. On Feb. 10, Doug Wood of Nitro will be portraying notable 18th Century Indian figure Ostenaco, who allied with England and Virginia against the French during the French and Indian War. Ostenaco answered to the name of “Mankiller.” That was his name. I don't make this stuff up. Apparently, Wood does this quite often and does a great job portraying him.

Sen. Evan Jenkins appointed to Prison Study Group

FIGHT FROM PAGE 1 fire chief and brother of Chris Burger knows the value of practice and preparation.

“Training is truly everything,” said Chief Jason Burger. “You’ve got to fight like you train and train like you fight. You revert back to training and you got to start here.”

Sgt. David Carr put on his fire gear, equipment and a blind fold. Carr and another man crawled blindly across the concrete floor of the fire department. Other volunteers spoke to guide them in the right direction as they moved.

This was part of a training routine called “Oriented Man,” an exercise aimed to draw firefighters closer through strong communication, and prepare them to race through smoke-filled emergency situations.

“We’re like brothers,” Carr said. “We do our job and train so we’ll know exactly what to do.”

The young man knows the dangerous world he faces inside a structure fire. However, when he gets off the fire engine, adrenaline and training experience take over.

“You’ve got to be fearless as soon as you get off the truck,” he said. “We have to know what to be ready for.”

Sometimes, even training cannot prepare these men and women for unpredictable flames.

Averill Mount, nurse and female firefighter, remembered her first major fire.

“I went inside and it was intimidating,” she said. “Flames were falling from the ceiling overhead, but I had these guys around me to help.”

Being the only girl in a depart-

The Cabell Standard

CHARLESTON - West Virginia Senate President Jeff Kessler has appointed Sen. Evan Jenkins, D-Cabell, to the Council of State Governments' prison overcrowding working group.

Jenkins said in a prepared release that the working group must look at the complete criminal justice system and make changes.

"Significant costs, like our prison overcrowding problem, continue to place enormous pressure on the taxpayers of West Virginia," he said. "I appreciate this appointment to

help craft real, meaningful solutions to these difficult issues."

Jenkins is joined by Sen. Mike Hall, R-Putnam, and Sen. Bill Laird, D-Fayette, on the working group along with three members of the House of Delegates, court officials, state agency directors and criminal justice stakeholders.

The bipartisan group will review trends in the state's criminal justice system and develop policy options for review in the upcoming legislative session.

There is no such thing as over-training: Last week, Culloden firefighters vigorously trained to prepare for the unknown. A recent onslaught of fires has these brave volunteers on alert. They constantly train for speed and efficiency. Photo by Justin Waybright ment, typically dominated by men, can be intimidating, but that was not the case for Mount.

“They taught me just like one of the guys, and that’s a quality I didn’t think I would get when I first started,” she said.

The chief is proud of his crew.

Like family, they have stuck together in the good and bad.

Burger recalled some of the worst fires he’s fought.

“A single-wide can burn to the ground in eight minutes,” he said. “I worked one of those once, and I did what you should never do, and stood up. I burnt my ears.”

Burger continued, “I look back

at some of these fires and realize I could’ve really gotten hurt.”

The reality of this hit Burger after his wife gave birth to their daughter.

“I remember the first fire after we had her,” he said. “Until our little girl, I really didn’t think much about it.

It changes things.”

Burger looked toward his firefighters and smiled.

“I’ve got a good bunch here, and I’d put them up against anybody,” he said. “Our community is also real good to us, and we just have a great bunch of people.”

EUGENE LEE WELLMAN Eugene Lee Wellman, 85, of Huntington, W.Va., reunited with his beloved wife of 64 years, Betty, in Heaven after passing away Sunday, January 20th, 2013, at St. Mary's Medical Center.

Funeral services were conducted Wednesday, January 23rd, at First Baptist Church in Ceredo by the Rev. Cleo Watson.

Delores Nichols of Bristol, Connecticut; and one brother, Joe Freeman of Franklin Furnace, Ohio.; three granddaughters, Kacey (Ben) Johnson of Wayne, and Jordan Hancock and Kara Hancock of Milton; three grandsons, Nick Wellman and Drew Wellman of Ceredo, and Dylan Wellman of Milton; one greatgranddaughter, Emma Grace Wellman of Ceredo; and two great-grandsons, Lincoln Johnson and Maximus Johnson of Wayne.

Gene was born November 19th, 1927, and raised in the Big Hurricane area before moving to Huntington as a teenager. He loved writing songs, a hobby he maintained from his teenage years to his final days on this earth. He was a kind man who loved his family and his church, and was rarely seen without a smile on his face.

On the dreariest of days Gene could often be heard singing, "It's such a pretty world today, look at the sunshine." He wrote more than 1,000 songs over the decades, including "The Little White Church," "Holy Life Insurance," "Fried Potatoes," "Please Throw Away the Glass," and "Big Blue Eyes," to name a few. He was so proud of those tunes, and his family was so proud of him for writing them.

Gene was a devout Christian, faithfully serving at Tucker Memorial Baptist Church in Huntington and at First Baptist Church in Ceredo of which he

was a member when he passed away.

He worked many years and many long hours delivering bread throughout the region for Heiner's Bakery.

Community News

The Cabell Standard

Canaan Valley – new and updated options for winter fun and play DAVIS, WV - Critters Crawl, Valley Vista, and Face are names for the fun and challenging trails for folks who are tubing, snowboarding and downhill skiing at Canaan Valley State Park.

The Canaan Valley Tube Park officially opened January 11. Winter ski season began December 29.

Canaan Valley Resort’s ski area has 42 trails and reports are posted daily online about the number of trails open and if trails have natural snow or are enhanced with snowmakers.

Lift hours are 9 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.

Sunday-Thursday and 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and holidays. Night skiing is every Friday and Saturday and January 20 and February 17 holidays.

The new Canaan Valley Tube Park is 1,200 feet of gliding fun on 10 lanes. Tube Park sessions

are 9-11 a.m.; 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.; and 2 – 4 p.m. midweek, with additional hours of 4:306:30 p.m. and 7 – 9 p.m. on Friday, Saturday and holidays. The rates are $18 mid-week and $25 on weekends.

“The resort staff is very proud of the new beginner’s ski area and learning school,” said Lisa Ratliff of Canaan Valley Resort State Park. “The redefined area allows for better instructional slope and access. Like the tube park, there is a Magic Carpet that conveys skiers for quicker access to skiing facilities and less time spent trudging to or from an area. Ski school classes are at 10 a.m., noon and 2 p.m.

We recommend the 10 a.m. time slot so students can maximize their time on the slopes.

Come to Canaan, put on your ski pants and winter wear and have a great time.”

Winter recreation at Canaan is not limited to downhill skiing and tubing. The resort also features ice skating on the rink located near Canaan Valley Lodge, snowboarding and airboarding.

Airboarding lessons are offered at the ski school. Cross-country

skiing and snowshoeing are popular and equipment rentals are available at the Nature/XC ski center. There is no charge to use cross country trails and the sport is weather dependent.

New in 2013 is horse-drawn sleigh rides offered Fridays and

Saturdays from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. “It’s a treat to bundle up and have real horse power pulling a sleigh,” said Ratliff. Sleigh ride passengers meet the driver at the Tube Park warming station.

Canaan Resort is a four-season, year-round destination. Ski season yields to golf play, camping, hiking and a wobble clay range that will open after ski season in 2013. The lodge and cabins are popular any time of the year for vacations, getaways and group functions. An indoor pool, sauna and fitness center are located at the lodge. Information about winter sport and recreation at year-round Canaan Valley Resort, lodging, ski lessons, group services and dining options are on www.canaanresort.com website or phone 304-866-4121.
