Cabell County Fair hosts annual Media Dinner By Trudy Black trudyblack@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON – For many years, media representatives from television, radio and newspapers have been invited to attend the Cabell County Fair Media Dinner. A dinner held each year just prior to the kick-off of the annual Fair. Those in attendance are given a ‘head’s up’ on upcoming events. Each one receives a media packet full of information that can be shared with their viewers/readers. And each one is treated to a delicious dinner. This year’s dinner, held at WV Pumpkin Park (Milton), saw more than 100 people in attendance. The weather outside was humid, the kitchen was hot and dishes were cooked that ‘country’ way. Home-grown beans,

MILTON - The walls of city hall know Mike Adam's face. For more than 18 years, the successful businessman has led prayer, began agendas and served the city as recorder. June 30, 2013 was bittersweet for Adams. Many will never forget his warm personality as he read minSEE SERVE ON PAGE 4
Greetings from the Carolinas It has been an honor to provide you with local stories this year. I have written thousands of stories, but this still does not feel like work to me. Hope you enjoy the newspaper stories as much as I do writing them. I am taking this time to relax and recharge at one of my favorite places: the beach. Have a great week.

Huntington Area Food Bank to host Food Pantry in Frazier’s Bottom By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
FRAZIER'S BOTTOM – Many people do not know where their next meal is coming from. The staff at Huntington Area Food Bank is striving to change this, one town at a time. One way to curb the number is with mobile food pantries. The organization will be offering a food pantry at Frazier's Bottom Church of God, 9 a.m. Thursday July 25. In late June, HAFB held a mobile food pantry in Frazier's Bottom to test out the area. More than 120 people attended. "It was successful," said Erin Highlander, HAFB director of development. "It's amazing how many people come out, and they're so grateful." Recently, a study by Feeding America showed 113,520 residents in HAFB's 17-county, 3-state service area are at risk of hunger. It is the goal of HAFB to provide hope to these families. She continued, "Helping churches and organization become resource agencies is our long term goal." Highlander strives to help her organization make an impact. It has.
The mobile food pantry - At a recent event, HAFB distributed thousands of pounds of food at the Hurricane Walmart parking lot. Courtesy Photo Into the first seven months of 2013, hundreds have received food and help. "It's exciting to see a different side of the world," Highlander explained. "At the food pantries, it looks like they've just been to the grocery store. They hug you and
are so appreciative - that's the pay off." For more information about the Huntington Area Food Bank, visit www.hafb.org. To help the organization make an impact, call (304) 523-6029. A $1 donation equals eight meals.

“DAY TRIPPIN” Thought for the week: Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God, to come unto you. Romans 1:10 (KJV) Sunday, is a good day, to go day trippin’. There are many one or two hour trips close by to visit for the day. Usually, there are good family restaurants in every little town - then walk to visit some of the towns sights. I would like to recommend one that’s very informative, interesting and relaxing. Visit Point Pleasant WV and take a look at the historical floodwall paintings by Robert Dafford, depicting the Battle of Point Pleasant on October 10TH 1774, showing the many painted scenes of our Shawnee Indian heritage. These colorful huge murals are so detailed, showing how they lived everyday life, over two hundred years ago. You can walk and view the bright colorful
life size figures in battle and busy doing their daily chores, showing you insight, on the type of life they shared on the same hallowed ground you are now standing on. For the complete battle story, the nearby river museum gives all the details of our Indian ancestors. Day trips were much longer than today’s - they traveled by canoe on their journeys, up and down the big Ohio river. They prospered from settlement to settlement, bartering their goods, meeting their neighbors and communicating on this great river highway, with Gods will for them. The park is clean, well maintained with trees, benches, and bleachers by the river, to sit, view and enjoy. And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed. Luke 5:16 We read Jesus himself went to various cities to sit and pray alone.
The Cabell Standard This trip is both therapeutic and informative for the mind and soul, to sit, to ponder and relax especially by the flowing waters. Go by yourself or take a friend, then visit one of the nearby restaurants to nourish the body. We are blessed in this state of WV with so many educational and historical places to visit and enjoy in a day. And he said unto them, take nothing for your journey, neither staves, (staff) nor script (bag), neither have two coats apiece. Luke 9:3 This verse reminds me when we went on vacation and I forgot to take something, my mate would say “I am sure they have stores in that city’’ - which is always true. We pack to go on trips, taking way too much baggage. You usually buy something anyway, why pack it to go. So why is a car’s WINDSHIELD so large and the Rear View Mirror so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So look ahead and move on! Prayer: Our Father, help us to enjoy our journeys, vacations, keep us protected as we travel your world. Amen.
SERVE FROM PAGE 1 utes of meetings before city council. Every detail was presented and recorded accurately and efficiently. His meticulous attention to detail began decades ago at Milton's Heck Funeral Home. Every week salesmen approached the staff. Adams was intrigued by this. "I thought it was a neat way to make a living," he said. Adams prepared himself. He took many math and English courses at Marshall University. "I knew I was going to be a salesman later on, so I knew I needed classes," Adams said. "I just liked bookkeeping." So, in 1963 the driven man sold advertising for Adams Printing and Supply Company. It was a family business. "My wife typed ad orders on a portable typewriter," Adams recalled. In 1969, he and his family opened Adams Hallmark, a successful franchise with locations in Morgantown, Parkersburg, Charleston and Huntington. More than 40 years later, Adams Hallmark remains a household name.
Through his business success, efficient bookkeeping skills and strong customer service, Adams gained attention from former Milton Mayor Tommy Harbour. More than 18 years ago, Harbour asked him to come on board as the city recorder. "I stayed on for five-and-a-half years, was off for two years, on for four years, elected in 1998, served until 2004 then re-elected, served four more years and finished my term," he remembered. With the success of working for local businesses, running multiple successful businesses, leading the city, achieving a 50-year-marriage-anniversary and raising three successful children, Adams has accomplished in 77 years what would take many two or three lifetimes to do. The humble man credits his success to family, friends and God. He specifically thanks the people of Milton. The influence of Milton and the people of Milton gave me a boost in life," Adams said. "My high school principal was my Sunday school teacher, Jonathan Lowe, and he helped me a lot too."
July Anniversaries!
Carolyn and Barry Smith – July 18th – 50 years Michelle and Rob Jividen - July 21st
One aspect Adams always loved in his position as recorder was helping to make the budget work. "When I first started, the budget was not too good, so we had to do the most with the least," he explained. "I may have made a lot of people mad, but I didn't ever want to put the city in heavy debt to make the voter happy." His philosophy paid off. Adams goes down as one of the longest serving recorders in Milton history. Although no longer serving the city, he believes its future is a bright one. Milton will always have a piece of his heart - the rest will belong to his children, he said. "My three children Paul, Carla and Andrea are successful - I'm interested in their success, and I will probably spend the rest of my life helping them," Adams said. "I will always be supporting Milton 100 percent." Adams life is a success story. His method of representing the city is one that can be applied to life. Adams said, "I was never the most popular person in the world, but it works out if you do what's right."

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens SUMMERTIME FREEDOM Summertime is in full swing around the fourth of July and I think back to when I was a child playing outside until late at night. The summertime for us stayed until after Labor Day. We would run and play around the house and hardly ever went inside except to eat. We would run and catch lightening bugs in the night and put them in a jar and let them out. I loved running after the bugs. To catch a lightening bug you have to use both hands and cup them together and gently put the lightening bugs in the jar. The summertime is a time for children to be carefree and not have a certain bedtime, of course that can change depending on the parents. Our school let out in June and we didn't return until September. We felt the whole summer would never end and we liked it that way. Waking up in the mornings and not having to go meet that school bus was such a pleasant surprise especially if you had a dream it was a school day. I was talking with my brother-in-law a few years ago and he said when he was in basic training in the Navy, back in the 70's, he was near Chicago and the weather was so cold, but he said he would dream he was home and when he awoke he was in basic training! I have since asked others about this and they said they have had the same dream. I don't think you can compare basic training with a child's nightmare of a school day but it is the only thing I can compare it to, for me, that is. Children should have a time of freedom and lots of fun and play and not worry about schoolwork. We all need education and education continues throughout our lives, but let the children be children and enjoy the summertime. Play in the rain, jump in a puddle of water, ride the bikes, take hikes, eat popsicles and ice cubes and yes, Kool-Aid and all the good cold stuff of summer.

Acres of Potential Growth By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
BARBOURSVILLE - More than eight acres of potential lie near the entrance to this village. Sadler Field, property adjacent to Farmdale Road, now belongs to Barboursville after a $900,000 purchase and an annexation. During the June 27 Cabell County Commission meeting, commissioners approved the annexation request, allowing Barboursville to purchase the 8.135-acre property that runs along Farmdale Road and ends at the Guyandotte River. No current homes or businesses along the easement will be affected by the purchase or any future construction on the property. Commissioner Bob Bailey made a motion to approve the annexation request during the meeting. The commission unanimously approved. "You all are doing a good job," said Bailey. The location and quality of the land is most appealing to Barboursville Mayor Paul Turman. He
The next piece of the puzzle - Barboursville now owns 8.135-acre Sadler Field property. The flat land spans along the Farmdale Road entrance to the village. Photo by Justin Waybright is excited to turn this key that he believes will unlock a prosperous future for the village. "It's a prime piece of real-estate," Turman said. "It's ideal and it's accessible from the Pea Ridge area." The flat, grassy land has the potential to become something the mayor and council members have wanted for years: a multipurpose

facility. Village leaders closed on the property June 28, taking the step toward making this dream a reality. "Some ideas we've talked about are an indoor pool to be used by seniors and young people - this would be an Olympic-size pool. We've also talked about building a basketball court that would keep kids from having to go all the way
to Cabell Midland," said Turman. "We want to make sure kids and others in the area have a recreational facility." Before this can happen, the village must sell the 20-acre Brickyard Property, near the new EMS station. The land is the piece of the puzzle that Barboursville's future hinges upon, said Turman.
"We're hoping to recoup this $1.5 million investment and sell the property to a business or businesses that will generate revenue and a tax base to help carry the multipurpose facility," he said. "The key to this thing is the Brickyard Property." With the recent addition of the EMS station and the upcoming construction of a new assisted living facility, Brickyard is becoming more appealing by the day, the mayor said. The village owns Sadler property, and it is ready now, more than ever, to sell Brickyard. "We plan to be more aggressive at trying to sell this property now that we've acquired these 8.1 acres," said Turman. "That was money well spent." Barboursville paid approximately $112,000 per acre for the Sadler property. Nearby land has recently sold for more than $150,000 per acre, according to records. "It was a bargain and we thank the Sadler family," said Turman. "We also thank the commission for permitting us to go forward, and I thank the council for support on this venture and their foresight."
Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine Volunteer Faculty Member awarded Teaching Honor HUNTINGTON - Mathew Weimer, M.D., a family physician in Milton who completed a family medicine residency at the Marshall University Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine ( JCESOM), is among a select group of physicians honored by the American Academy of Family Physicians Foundation for his commitment to education in the field of family medicine. Weimer was selected to receive a 2013 Pfizer Teacher Development Award based on his scholastic achievement, leadership qualities and dedication to family medicine. He was nominated by colleagues in the Marshall Department of Family Medicine where he is currently a parttime instructor. “Medical students benefit in their interaction with Dr. Weimer from the comprehensive care he delivers to his patients in the context of a practice enhancing its patient centeredness and as an at-
tending physician with outstanding patient care skills,” said Dr. Mitch Shaver, residency program director for family medicine. “Dr. Weimer’s dedication to patient care as a resident physician was validated by superlative patient evaluations that reflected the ease at which he develops rapport and the high level of advocacy he displays for patients.” Weimer earned his medical degree from the Medical College of Ohio (now the Univer-
sity of Toledo College of Medicine) and completed a residency in family medicine at JCESOM in 2008. He serves as a volunteer clinical faculty member with the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. “I view teaching as an essential responsibility for physicians,” Weimer said. “I also enjoy working with budding health professionals; they bring a fresh perspective to my practice and raise important questions as I make decisions about care. I hope to expose my students to the many joys and challenges of family medicine, at the core of which is the unique relationship that a physician is privileged to share with patients.” This is the third consecutive year a Marshall University Family Medicine residency graduate has received the prestigious award. In 2012, Dr. Jason Hudak was given the award and in 2011, Dr. Scott Davis was recognized.

The Cabell Standard
Outdoors Roundup The West Virginia Natural Resources Commission is scheduled for 1 p.m. July 28 at the Chief Logan Lodge and Conference Center in Logan. The public is invited to attend and make comments (by law it is an open meeting). The main items on the agenda are the 2014 – 2015 Hunting and Trapping Regulations and the 2014 fishing regulations. Some hiking news: Civil War commemorative hikes are slated at Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park in Pocahontas County this summer in honor of the 150th anniversary of the battle. The hikes trace the routes Confederate and Union units traveled to arrive at the battle. Foremost among the events is the Sept. 1 battle reenactment. The actual battle was fought in November 1863. Why on earth they are reenacting a late-autumn battle in the summer is beyond me. While I might not agree with the scheduling, I am quite enthusiastic about the events. The first hike was held in June. It was a nine-mile hike retracing the steps of the 10th West Virginia
Infantry and the 28th Infantry. The three remaining Droop Mountain Battle memorial hikes are scheduled for July 20 (four miles), August 31 (three miles), and November 5, a 30-mile overnight hike that concludes at Droop Mountain on November 6. Advance registration is required. You can download preregistration forms at www.droopmountainbattlefield.com. My great-grandmother, Dixie Payne (yes, her name was actually “Dixie”), died when I was young, but she did say that her grandfather, John Duncan, was killed at Droop Mountain. Naturally, the grandfather of any woman named “Dixie” fought with the Confederacy. John Duncan was, in fact, at the battle of Droop Mountain, a First Sgt. with the 14th Virginia Cavalry, but he didn't die there, he not only lived to fight in the battles of Lewisburg and in the 1864-1865 Shenandoah Valley campaigns as well as the units surrender in April 1865, he was still around to be recorded in the 1870 census.
Registrations for Hike No. 2 on July 20 are still being accepted. One registrant is a descendant who will be traveling from Florida. Mounted infantry was a temporary designation for several of Gen. William Averell’s regiments. When Averell was transferred to western Virginia in May 1863, he was put in command of mostly infantry units, foot soldiers, but he was a cavalry commander, and would face mostly Confederate cavalry troops – one of which was my ancestor. Averell secured mounts for most of his men and began training them in cavalry tactics, in order to better counter his opponents. The Union troops could move from place to place more quickly, then dismount and fight on foot as regular infantry. What's not usually understood is that actual bonafide Cavalry units themselves often fought this way. Hike No. 2 will be along the attack route of the 2nd and the 3rd West Virginia Mounted Infantry. Those same units in 1864 were reorganized and the men re-enlisted in the 5th and the 6th West
Virginia Cavalry. There will be no horses on any of the hikes, as the terrain is no more suitable for horses today than it was 150 years ago. Registrations for Hike No. 3 on August 31 have at least eight descendants of men in the 8th West Virginia Mounted Infantry (later 7th West Virginia Cavalry) already signed up. This is the shortest of the four memorial hikes. The 150th Anniversary reenactment of the Battle of Droop Mountain scheduled August 31 – September 1, 2013. The toughest hike retraces the route of the Confederates. Three people are firmly committed to the all night, 30-mile on the night of Nov. 5-6. The start point is near Lewisburg and participants will hike along US Rt. 219 for approximately 27 miles, mostly at night, with 1,000-foot elevation change and moderate grades. The hike will begin in the afternoon with a two hour break from midnight to 2 a.m., then continue through the night to arrive at the park near dawn as did the Confederate army of Gen. John Echols prior to
the battle at Droop Mountain. A support vehicle with food, first aid supplies, and a port-ajohn will be provided. Should anyone become physically or mentally exhausted, the support vehicle will also be available to allow those participants to sag out for a rest (or entirely) if they need to do so. This will be an extremely rigorous hike, mostly at night, along a public road on a weekday in November when the weather could easily be quite miserable. It is not intended for the faint of heart and registrants are requested to obtain a doctor’s statement that they are physically fit for a 30-mile trek. After arrival at Droop Mountain Battlefield, a second extended rest period is scheduled, to be followed by a public dedication of a monument and reading of battle casualty names in the early afternoon. Because much of the hike will be at night and along a major highway, reflective arm bands (provided by park) will be worn by all participants.
West Virginia State Wildlife Center is a Great Place to Visit! The West Virginia State Wildlife Center is a modern zoological facility displaying native and introduced state wildlife. Operated by the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, the Wildlife Center is dedicated to presenting visitors a realistic and factual understanding of our state's wildlife. Woodland wildlife can be viewed along a wheelchair-accessible in-
terpretative trail 1.25 mile through a mature hardwood forest. The spacious enclosures allow the animals to interact with their environment and they therefore exhibit more natural behavior patterns. Interpretive signs help the visitor to learn more about each animal's life history, biology and its relationship with humans. Group tours are available upon request.
The Wildlife Center is the perfect setting for a family outing. In addition to exhibits, there is a large wooded picnic area with grills and a shelter. Look for waterfowl or fish for trout, bass, catfish and bluegill in the well-stocked pond below the picnic area. A gift shop is available to satisfy your souvenir and refreshment needs. The Wildlife Center is a facility where visitors can see,
enjoy and learn more about West Virginia's rich wildlife heritage. The Center, open seven days a week - 9-5, is located in Upshur County in north-central West Virginia, 12 miles south of Buckhannon on State Route 20. From the north take exit 99 off Interstate 79 and follow State Route 33 east approximately 12 miles to Buckhannon and turn south on State Route 20. Coming from the south,
LOCALDIRECTORY
take exit 67 off Interstate 79 at Flatwoods and follow State Routes 19 and 4 north approximately 30 miles to Rock Cave and Route 20. Follow State Route 20 North for 2 miles to the center. Visiting the Wildlife Center is a convenient side trip for travelers on I-79. For more information call (304) 924-6211 between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Steel Magnolia to take the stage 8:30 pm on Saturday! There is a very cool moment, preserved for posterity in TV syndication, when Joshua Scott Jones and Meghan Linsey, the duo known as Steel Magnolia, make the connection that changes their lives. It's cattle call audition day for season two of CMT's Can You Duet? Josh and Meghan are secretly ambivalent about the whole thing, skeptical that the judges are going to get their very unique sound. But they do and so began the journey that would put Steel Magnolia in the shows winner's circle and on Big Machine Records. Since winning the show, Steel Magnolia has gone on to win over many more influential fans and supporters. Their bracing take of "Keep On Lovin' You" broke through as the highest charting debut single by a co-ed duo in Billboard history and climbed all the way to No. 5 on the Billboard Country Charts. The song has been downloaded more than a million
times and landed in the major motion picture, “Valentine’s Day.” Josh and Meghan spent the summer of 2010 touring alongside Brad Paisley on his massively popular H20 Tour. They also toured with Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton and appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Lopez Tonight. Even before the release of their debut album, Steel Magnolia snagged nine major industry award nominations, including: Vocal Duo of theYear and Top New Vocal Duo of the Year by the Academy of Country Music in both 2010 and 2011, Top Vocal Duo by The Country Music Association in 2010, Best Country MusicVideo By A New Duo by Country Music Television and a 2013 ACM Award for Vocal Duo of theYear. Their second single, “Just By Being You (Halo and Wings),” became their second Top 30 hit. Their third single “Last
Night Again” reached No. 24 on the country charts. Their self-titled album was released in January 2011 and it debuted in the Top 10 of the pop and country album charts, entering the charts at No. 7 and No. 3, respectively. No wonder then, that you're seeing Josh and Meghan on every "Whom to Watch" list in country music. They've shined at the Grand Ole Opry and gotten their stage legs in arena atmospheres. They've reached back to their fans over the internet and shared some of the love and affection that's clear when they sing together. It's rare to be a witness to this kind of evolution and artistic growth in such a short span of time. The duo will bring a combination of the signature Steel Magnolia sound along with classic old school country to the 2013 Cabell County Fair. It’s a sound that will convince you that Steel Magnolia may well be the future of Country Music. A sound that you’ll be hearing for many years to come from one of the best duos in country music today!

The Primitive Quartet to share their joy for singing with folks at the Cabell County Fair In the spring of 1973, two sets of brothers, Reagan and Larry Riddle and Norman and Furman Wilson, went for a weekend fishing trip on Fontana Lake in Graham County North Carolina. Reagan took his guitar and Norman brought his mandolin along to make music around the campfire at night. Since the Riddle boys sang occasionally with their parents at church while they were growing up, and the Wilson boys did the same, they found that they had all four parts to make up a quartet. That weekend, they learned two songs well enough to sing at the home of the Riddle boys parents on the Sunday afternoon following their trip. Their Pastor, Rev. Lloyd Ponder, was there that afternoon and requested that they sing the two songs at church that evening. Visitors from the Old North Asheville Baptist Church were there that night and invited them to their monthly singing. Two of the songs they sang at that first singing were "Settle Down' and "It's Love". Both were recorded later from that first singing. They decided to continue
their singing and were invited to many other churches in the western North Carolina area. The quartet was first known locally as the Riddle-Wilson Quartet, then later The Primitive Quartet was chosen because of their old-time mountain style singing. For five years the primitives sang only in western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. In 1978, and five albums later, the demand for their singing began to grow. They traveled for 18 months with the Inspirations from Bryson City, NC. It was around this time that one of the Wilson brothers, Furman was called into the ministry and left the group. Mike Riddle, a brother to Reagan and Larry, replaced him, singing baritone. Becoming a full-time group was certainly not in the plans of the Riddle and Wilson brothers. They began singing because of their love for the Lord and the joy of singing gospel music. Their outreach just continued to grow until they became busier singing than they were working on their jobs;
they started their full time singing ministry in 1978. The Primitive Quartet has sung in over 25 states, Canada, and has been invited to the Netherlands, and New Guinea. The Primitives are best known
for songs such as "Fallen Leaves", "Gloryland", "Because He Loved Me", "Flight Without an Airplane", "My Hope is in the Blood", "He's Still Passing By”, and "I'm Changing Houses.” The Primitive Quartet has come
a long way from that weekend fishing trip many years ago. But, the desire to share their joy of singing the gospel is as strong as it ever was… and on Thursday, July 25 at the Cabell County Fair, you can hear it for yourself!
Come help celebrate Cabell County Fair’s 30th Anniversary That’s right, 2013 marks the 30th anniversary of the Cabell County Fair… and if you’re a ‘regular’ who visits the Fair year-after-year, you’re sure to have seen many changes throughout those 30 years. There’s been a lot of hard work
put into the fairgrounds as well as into the success of the Fair. The Fair started on the Little League Ball Fields back in 1983. The animals were kept in tents. The participants had to build and paint the livestock pens each year. Today, they have beautiful grounds
and nice buildings. As always, a large part of the Fair is the 4-H and FFA Show/Sale. Participants have worked hard to improve the facilities, including metal stalls for the animals that are quickly assembled and easy to maintain.

Don’t miss Joe Freeman's Bluegrass Gospel during Gospel Night at the Fair
Joe Freeman's Bluegrass Gospel consists of a father, son and cousin - along with a few good friends. Made up of musicians who were self taught and play by ear, the band has been together in some form or another and under many names since the early 1980’s. The band is the 3rd and 4th generations of musicians that date back to the early 1940’s when their great uncles, The York Brothers were members of the Grand Ole Opry. They have opened shows and/or shared the stage with such Bluegrass musical legends as Dr. Ralph Stanley, Banjo Leg-
end J.D. Crowe, The Grascals, Third Tyme Out, Doyle Lawson, Larry Cordle, Mountain Heart, Rhonda Vincent, Osbourne Brothers and former country music entertainer of the year, Ricky Skaggs. They are considered among the best local talent for Bluegrass music and have been featured performers on a Sunday morning Bluegrass gospel show on WSAZ and Shotgun Red Variety Show. The band incorporates comedy and comical songs very heavily in their shows. SPONSOR: Quality Care Nursing Service Inc, 501 Washington Street Box 12, South Point OH 45680.
