MILTON - For more than 30 years the county has united to define “hometown America” with its fair. This year was no different. Smiling faces of local families, friends and children poured into the 30th Annual Cabell County Fair at Milton Pumpkin Park. Lemonade and food stands lined the pathway to a large carMotorcycles soared nival. through the air during Milton MX races while parents gathered in the performing arts center to cheer on their babies and children in beauty pageants. Before these events began, the main and sometimes overlooked aspect of the fair took place. Young men and women, who trained their animals for countless hours, performed in various showmanship contests. Future Farmers of America and 4-H: without these organizations,
the fair would not be what it is today, said Cabell County Fair Board Treasurer Chris Preston. “It all starts with livestock,” he said. “We’re here for 4-H and FFA and we go from there.” The week-long event brought thousands onto the fairground. In spite of rainy weather, the fair was a success, said Preston. “It’s a lot of work for the fair board to get it to this point, but we do it for the kids - we do it for the community,” he said. “I remember participating in the fair - I’m on the other end of it now, and it warms your heart when you see the smiles and the rewards for putting the hard work in.” The fair ended at 11 p.m. Saturday with children and families already looking forward to next year’s.

County Wrestles with Funding Requests By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
HUNTINGTON - Funding requests from the Hotel Occupancy Tax and the Senior Levy dominated discussions during the July 25 Cabell County Commission meeting. First, Commissioners Bob Bailey and Nancy Cartmill debated on the approval of Hotel Occupancy Tax funding requests. A total of 37 entities collectively requested $222,000, about $52,000 more than what the county funded last year. Several ambiguous requests halted the county’s approval for
Cabell/Wayne Beekeepers, Huntington Little League 3, Swinefest Solutions, WFSSAC Wrestling Team and the Musical Arts Guild, which will all be discussed during the next meeting. “I think we need to wait and make sure everyone gets a shot at it,” said Bailey. Cartmill responded, “It’s just technicalities - nothing all that Earth-shattering.” However, some requests were unclear, she said. “We have guidelines and state law that we have to follow,” Cartmill explained. “This is used to promote tourism in the area, and it must be used for that.”
The commissioner president continued, “We’re just trying to follow the law.” Bailey agreed. “No doubt about that,” he responded. Next, the commission arrived at similar issues with the senior citizens levy funding requests. The Jeffrey E. George Comfort House posed a clarification problem. “This is another one we’re lacking information on,” Cartmill said. Last year, it was given $15,000, according to records. This year, the organization is requesting $25,000. Another issue among the 12
requests in the list involved mortgage payments to USDA Rural Development for the Salt Rock Senior Center. The organization requested $15,000. It received no funding last year. “I do not believe it’s our responsibility to pay their mortgage,” Cartmill said. Bailey responded, “It’s not your responsibility - the seniors of Cabell County are your responsibility.” Cartmill answered, “We try to meet the law, which says ‘the money must go to service programs and projects.’” SEE COUNTY ON PAGE 5

Cameron Porter graduates from Berklee College of Music Annie Lennox, Willie Nelson, and Carole King Honored at 2013 Commencement BOSTON, MA - Cameron Porter of Barboursville participated in Berklee College of Music's 2013 Commencement held recently in Boston at Boston University's Agganis Arena. Porter received a Degree of Bachelor of Music in Contemporary Writing and Production & Music Production and Engineering from President of Berklee College of Music, Roger Brown. Berklee president Roger H. Brown presented honorary doctor of music degrees to music legends Carole King, Willie Nelson, and Annie Lennox -- all multiple Grammy Award-winners, among their many accolades. Lennox delivered the commencement address to the graduating class and an estimated audience of more than 4,000 guests at the Agganis Arena. Berklee's class of 2013 included more than 1,050 students - the college's largest-ever graduating class - graduating with bachelor of music degrees or professional diplomas. Female graduates numbered 327, representing 31 percent of the total class. International students
from 60 different countries made up 36 percent of the class. The largest number of graduates from outside the U.S. were from South Korea and Canada. Students from as far away as Ghana, Mozambique, Japan, Russia, and the Philippines were among the graduating class. Domestic students were from 46 states. The top three majors were professional music, performance, and music business/management. Guitar, voice, and piano were the three most common instruments among the graduates. In her address, Lennox said, "Consider this, wherever you think you're heading right now might turn out to take a completely different path. What looks like an ending might actually be the start of a brand new beginning. Wherever and however we find ourselves, what a privilege it is to enrich our lives through music: the incredible universal language of the soul. Enter it wholeheartedly, make it yours to share with the world in the very best way you can." Lennox also sang lines from several songs that inspired her as a teen, in-

cluding "Say a Little Prayer," "Wichita Lineman," and King's "It's Too Late." President Brown enlisted Kris Kristofferson, Nelson's guest for the festivities, to help present Nelson's honorary doctorate. The longtime friends had performed a duet of Hank Williams’ "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" at the previous night's commencement concert. Recalling the student performance during his acceptance, Nelson said, "Last night was especially tremendous. I enjoyed hearing everyone play and sing so many great songs. The history of music is good, but the future is even better, thanks to you folks." The annual commencement concert at the Agganis Arena featured some of the college's most accomplished students paying tribute to the honorees with performances of music associated with their careers. The honorees all took the stage during the event. Nelson also performed "Night Life," while Lennox performed her hit song "Cold" with the student and faculty orchestra. King joined in during the
"The Locomotion," to dance along. Other concert highlights included renditions of King's "(You Make Me Feel Like) a Natural Woman," and "I Feel the Earth Move;" Nelson's "On the Road Again," and "Crazy;" and Lennox's "Walking on Broken Glass," and "Why." During the ceremony, Brown thanked Berklee's faculty and staff for their extraordinary commitment to the students, especially during the trying times in the aftermath of the marathon bombing. "The knowledge and skills our students have accumulated are astounding. They don't fully realize it, but this training prepares them for many possible paths, inside the music industry and outside," said Brown to parents in the audience. "If we have been successful, we have prepared them for a dynamic world in which new careers will be invented, the nature of which we cannot even yet imagine." This year's honorary doctorate recipients were recognized for their achievements in contemporary music, for their enduring contributions to popular culture,
and for the influence their careers and music have had on Berklee's international student body. King, Nelson, and Lennox join the ranks of such esteemed recipients as Duke Ellington (the first, in 1971), Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, Quincy Jones, Smokey Robinson, David Bowie, Bonnie Raitt, Count Basie, Sting, Loretta Lynn, B.B. King, Billy Joel, Chaka Khan, Steven Tyler, George Clinton, and Patti LaBelle. Berklee College of Music was founded on the revolutionary principal that the best way to prepare students for careers in music was through the study and practice of contemporary music. For over half a century, the college has evolved constantly to reflect the state of the art of music and the music business. With over a dozen performance and nonperformance majors, a diverse and talented student body representing over 70 countries, and a music industry "who's who" of alumni, Berklee is the world's premier learning lab for the music of today - and tomorrow.

“HEAT, RAIN AND COMPLAIN” Thought for the week: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good; and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45 (KJV) Complain is what we humans do best - don’t you think? And the most common subject would be about the weather. Lord help us if we had control of it. Any where you go, you hear – “Did not really enjoy the family gathering, it rained too much. ‘’ “Can’t plant this or that, it is too hot.” “Was going on a fishing trip, rained too hard,” etc. As I was checking out in a store line this week, it was ‘’I am sick and tired of this rain.” Well, thank God, we are not in control of the weather, what a terrible mess it
would be. Leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. We then would complain more about the next most seemly complaint, our present president, or maybe it is health issues. Sometimes, when you listen, you may hear a history of health problems and what is being done for them. But it doesn’t hurt to take a little time for someone’s troubles, just be kinder than necessary, everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle, if it’s not the weather or illness, it may be any number of problems in this life. God has a reason for sending us all the rain and heat this season. You have to admit everything is greener and growing great. Better a rain shower every
The Cabell Standard day than soooo hot the forest is on fire. (Which, as I am writing this it’s a sweltering 90 degrees today). Still, I am happy God placed me where I am. Did you ever think what if you had been born in another country? God placed each where He wanted us. Acts 17: 24-26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation. A verse of the song from country singer Randy Travis goes; As long as old men talk about the weather, and as long as old women talk, about old men I’ll love you forever and ever, and ever, amen. The weather will forever be a topic of conversation with whoever you meet in life. All things in life are temporary. If going well - enjoy it; they will not last forever. If going wrong don’t worry; they can’t last long either. Prayer: Thank you God for being in control of all things in life, for sure, a mess we each would make of it. Amen.

She watched her grandmother and mother quilt as a child. After trying her first one, she was hooked. During the inaugural Cabell County Fair, Adkins watched her parents do crafts. Years passed and she watched her children and grandchildren raise cattle and her boys competed in the mud bogs. Once, Adkins, herself, competed. “I drove a truck in the mud bog once, but didn’t drive very fast,” she said, laughing. “I had fun and waved at the crowd.” Adkins helped run the Ona
Rainbow 4-H for 15 years. Now, her son and her daughter-in-law run it. Annually, the group features a float in the fair’s parade. The family also features homegrown vegetables in the fair every year. Even though the days of mud bogging and 4-H may be over for Adkins, the love of participating in the Cabell County Fair are not. “I’ve always enjoyed working with kids, and I think it’s important that they go to the fair, learn to grow crops, raise cattle and what it takes to do work,” she said.
DECADES FROM PAGE 1 took some of those and created the ultimate memory: a one-of-akind quilt, featuring more than 23 years of the fair. The mother of three and grandmother of three took T-shirts from every county fair and stitched them into an 8 foot by 6-and-ahalf-foot quilt. The project took her two months to complete. Adkin’s love for quilting began more than 21 years ago. “My dad always told me, ‘idle hands were the devil’s workshop,’ so I always stayed busy doing something good,” she said. Quilting is in Adkin’s blood.

Herd fans to choose Marco costume from among three Concepts HUNTINGTON, WV – Marshall University’s beloved mascot is getting a new costume, and for the first time the responsibility of choosing his new look is in the hands of Thundering Herd fans and friends. Beginning July 24th through Facebook social media, Herd fans have the opportunity to determine whether Marco will keep his current design or be given a new or updated look. His current costume, after five years of extensive wear, travel, cleaning and repair, has been stretched as far as it can, so it’s time to replace it, said Matt Turner, Marshall’s chief of staff. “There’s no doubt that Marco means a lot to our fans and alumni so we want their help to choose his appearance,” Turner said. “He is as iconic as Old Main and his public appearances extend well beyond the field, so we think it’s important to hear from them.” All Marshall fans, alumni, students and staff are encouraged to cast their votes via Facebook. Matt Hayes, Marshall’s executive director of alumni relations, said, “This is a great concept, a
wonderful way to involve alumni and friends of Marshall who care deeply about how the mascot embodies and represents the face of the university. I’m sure the Herd nation will not be shy and will make their voices heard.” A costume maker has provided three concepts from which the voters can choose from now through midnight Saturday, Aug. 10. They are: Option 1: Current Marco. Option 2: A partial makeover of current Marco. This “hybrid” version of current Marco includes returning to the hoof feet and furcovered legs of the previous mascot costume. Option 3: A more complete makeover. This new design more closely resembles the previous Marco with a friendlier face and bison goatee. Aaron Goebbel, associate director of athletics for external affairs, said, “Marco represents our fans and they are the ones he is most involved with. It’s magical when Marco shows up at an event and he always wants to look his best. And we think it will be a lot of fun having the voting done on
social media.” Voting has begun on Marshall’s Facebook site – https://www.facebook.com/marshallu – and participants can vote only once. The Marco costume that receives the most votes will be announced on Facebook on Monday, Aug. 12. Once the design is finalized, Turner said he expects the new costume to be completed in time for Marshall’s homecoming game at Joan C. Edwards Stadium Saturday, Oct. 5, against UTSA. Game time is 2 p.m. As a reward for helping select one of the three concepts, someone will win tickets and a tailgate package for four to the first Thundering Herd football game of the season, scheduled at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31, at home against Miami (Ohio). They also will receive Marshall hooded sweatshirts. Artist renderings of the three choices, and photos of the old Marco and the current Marco, can be found at http://muphotos.marshall.edu/NewsPhotos4/Marcos-New-Look-2013.

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens Grandma's Popcorn I like to eat popcorn and when I think of popcorn, I think of my Grandma Carpenter who lived on Buzzard Creek. I would spend time with her and my aunt Claudia in the summer and we had so much fun. We would wake up in the mornings and the air would be so cool and fresh. My grandma had no air conditioning but there were trees around the house. The front room - or the living room - was where we sat in the evenings. If it was really hot we would sit outside. My aunt, who is only two years older than I, would play with our dolls and have pretend houses; we had pretend husbands and kids. We had a blast. My grandma had a TV and we would sit in the front room and watch Petticoat Junction, The Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, and yes, Gunsmoke. As we got older we would watch the Chiller Theatre which came on channel 13. We got such a scare out of that. Scary movies these days makes chiller mild compared to them. Of all the things I liked most about staying with my Grandma was her popcorn. She made the old fashioned popcorn with the oil. She had a kettle which she only used for popping corn and she would get the oil really hot then she put in the corn. In just a few seconds the corn would start popping. Her lid had holes in the top to let out the steam. She would pop and pop the corn until we had a big aluminum dishpan full! We would sit and eat the popcorn until it was gone and the TV show was off the air. I had a hard time staying awake all night. But I knew we could sleep in the next morning. My grandma has since passed away and I had her popcorn kettle in my cabinet, but every time I looked at it I would start to cry so I gave it to my Mom to keep for me. The memories I have of Buzzard Creek will stay with me forever, especially the popcorn. Do kids know how to pop old fashioned popcorn? I guess we are all spoiled to the microwave. We also like the Elvis Presley movies. We had such a blast watching anything with Elvis as we loved him. I mentioned Elvis to a lady once and I said I hope I meet Elvis in Heaven. She said I probably wouldn't. Well, I am no judge but I did hear that a minister once saw Elvis in an elevator and asked him if he was a Christian and he said he was. At one of his concerts someone yelled that Elvis is king and Elvis yelled back “There is only one King and that is Jesus Christ.” Elvis never called himself a king as he knew who the real King is. So, I guess we will have to wait until we get to Heaven to see Elvis and Waylon and a few others we may not think made it. I think we may be surprised to look around and not see some faces we really thought we would see.

National Jamboree leaves mark on the State
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
The National Boy Scout Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve is over, but the Scouts have left quite a legacy. I travel around the state quite a bit and I've seen crews of scouts – usually 15 or more – everywhere and I mean everywhere, not just around Raleigh County. I've seen quite a few projects going on around Beckley, but I've also seen Scouts working in Lewisburg. Wyoming County alone has had more than 3,000 Scouts there working on projects. Some of the projects were park improvements and the like, others like the Morris Creek project, where a Dayton, Ohio, troop
worked on stream improvement, helped the environment. There were around 40,000 Scouts there and while the Boy Scouts of America hasn't released the visitors' totals yet (they don't have them yet), but they had expected 50,000 visitors for the event. This was the first Jamboree where disposable water bottles were banned – only re-useable bottles were allowed to save plastic, although it does introduce a rustic feel - a hundred years ago Scouts would have been using reuseable containers as well. Water from sinks and showers was used to flush toilets. Wastewater was passively treated, then used to water forest plants. Interestingly enough, all the lumber used in constructing the facilities came directly from forests in the area. It was the first Jamboree where a lot of Scouting communication and organization was done via smartphone – with the new Jamboree app – and there were solar chargers for Scouts to charge their phones. It was the first Jamboree to have Venture Crews participate. Venture is a program that, as I explained it to my 11-year-old son, “only does awesome, adventurous things. And they have girls.” He replied “So you are saying it has everything I'd ever want?”
There was one death, Gene Schultz, an adult staff member from Ohio who was volunteering as a merit badge counselor and a historical re-enactor, who had a heart attack. They had these big-name pop bands (I'm not 12, I'd never heard of any of them), who were supposed to come, but then backed out because the Boy Scouts wouldn't let openly gay teenagers in. It's terrible these folks won't play for the kids so they can make some political statement. It's asinine to punish those boys (and some girls in the Venture Crews). It's worse than asinine. What surprised me even more was that there was a ban on gay scouts in the first place. I had no idea. I was a very active Boy Scout in my day - I even worked five weeks each year at the Dilly's Mills Boy Scout Camp in Pocahontas County and another couple of weeks at Camp Roland in Virginia until I was too old to be a Scout. Then, I became an assistant Scoutmaster. But a ban on gay scouts? I never knew there was such a thing. There were, back in my day, some gay scouts (not many, but some). I remember that we were talking about tolerance then and by tolerance, I mean treating people with respect – like human beings. The Scout Law, “a Scout is trust-
worthy, loyal, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent,” aren't just words Scouts will recite about 50 million times in their Scouting career, they live by those words. There have been gay Scouts as long as there have been gay teenagers. I don't know how one's sexual orientation would be an issue, or even come up. As a former heterosexual scout, I and my fellow scouts were too busy doing Scout things to think about anything. Why is there a ban? I'll tell you why. Where do the Scouts meet? Who provides rent-free space to millions of Scouts? It's the churches. Most scout troops meet in churches. I'm sure there are some who do not, but I never knew of a troop that didn't. I've seen/heard via news media, various religious leaders saying their church would cease support of Scouting if gay Scouts were allowed. If they actually went through with their threats shame on them. Double shame. All children, boys and girls – every single last one of them – can benefit from the moral grounding and life lessons Scouting provides. This Jamboree – and in a few years the World Jamboree will do the same – will leave a widespread, lasting impression. They
weren't just at the Summit, they were everywhere. If you drove anywhere in Southern West Virginia while it was going on, you'd surely have noticed the heavy traffic (with probably 80 percent of cars with out-of-state plates). There have been stories in newspapers across the country about what all their local Scouts were doing in West Virginia. These Scouts will grow up someday and bring their families here. I was at the Sandstone Falls overlook on Route 20 with my son and spoke to some New Jersey adults who had come to the Jamboree as visitors. They were fascinated by the state and asked me all sorts of questions about cicada-killing wasps (which I knew nothing about), lizards, etc. I wound up giving this explanation of the West Virginia statehood movement and how Wheeling and Parkersburg pulled it off, then were driven out of power once the Confederates were allowed to vote again. They were talking about how nice and helpful everyone was and they were absolutely captivated by West Virginia. I am convinced this is the best public-relations West Virginia has ever had. Now imagine what will happen when the World Jamboree comes here.
Outdoors Roundup Dad has a yellow jacket wasp's nest in the backyard near the riverbank. I have known several people who would routinely pour about a cup or two of gasoline down in the hole leading to the yellow-jacket nest, then light it on fire. You'd have yellow jackets flying out through the fire, some of them would fly out of the nest on fire, but often within a couple of days, the nest would be rebuilt. Dad always waited until dusk and just poured the gasoline into the hole (without lighting it on fire). That always worked. A couple of years ago I moved into a house where yellow jackets had built a nest into the outside wall. I spent several days spraying shots of hornet spray into the hole, but it had little effect on the hornets. What worked was WD-40. To watch my father, back in the day, eradicate a yellow-jacket nest was to see not only poetry in motion, but an epic, hate-filled battle – it was to see Beowulf slay Grendel, mostly because of me, I suppose. I was deathly allergic to them as a boy. Dad's weapon of choice was an empty, 16-ounce glass RC Cola bottle (remember those?), which
he filled from one of these metal 5-gallon gas cans he always had on his truck. As an endless stream of yellow jackets crawled to the lip of the hole that served as the portal to their nest to take flight, my father sneaked nearer, low to the ground and with an outstretched, bottle-wielding hand, toward the nest. Once the bottle was directly overhead the nest, Dad, in one fluid motion rotated the bottle and thrust the mouth of that bottle into the nest as Siegfried thrust his sword into the dragon Fafner. Then, he ran. I always had to watch this from a “safe” distance, because of my allergies. Yet, I remember well how that bottle would drain that gasoline into the hole, one “glug” at a time. Dad's secret was to not burn the nest – a burned nest can be rebuilt, but make the nest inhabitable. In retrospect, the fire I'd seen others use, burned away the gasoline before it could permeate the nest. I took shots for years and eventually got over the allergy. As an adult, anytime I've taken out a nest, it's been at night, when the yellow jackets are inactive.
Today, unlike when I was a kid, the Internet exists. I've found some interesting tips and facts about eradicating yellow jacket nests. Apparently, yellow jackets can't see red light, so I've seen suggestions of using a flashlight covered with red cellophane when eradicating nests at night. Another tip was to wear a long sleeve jacket, with the sleeves tucked into gloves. My father, however, fought his battles in daylight – or at best dusk – with nothing but a pocket T-shirt and a black, cotton Kromer welding cap. Applications for the West Virginia 2013 antlerless deer season limited-permit areas are now available. These applications may also be downloaded from the DNR’s web page at www.wvdnr.gov. These limited permit areas provide antlerless deer hunting opportunities in counties or areas of the state where wildlife biologists have determined that limited numbers of antlerless deer permits are necessary to meet management objectives. Seven wildlife management areas and three state forests
(Beaver Dam, Blackwater, Calvin Price State Forest, Elk River, Greenbrier State Forest, Huttonsville State Farm, Kumbrabow State Forest, Little Canaan, Little River and Potomac) and 10 counties or portions thereof (Boone, Clay, Fayette, Greenbrier, Mercer, Nicholas, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Raleigh and Webster) will have a limited number of Class N licenses for resident and Class NN licenses for nonresident antlerless deer hunting from Oct. 24-26 on private land only and Nov. 25Dec. 7, Dec. 19-21 and Dec. 28Dec. 31 on private and public land. Applications must be received by the DNR before the close of business on Aug. 19. The 2013 limited antlerless deer season will provide an opportunity for 1,150 residents and nonresidents to participate on the seven WMAs or three state forests. An additional 2,800 residents and nonresidents will be selected to hunt antlerless deer in the 10 counties that are restricted to antlerless deer hunting. Resident landowners do not need a permit to hunt on their own land. I haven't tried this personally,
but I heard that aluminum sulphate is a good way to keep slugs out of the garden. Slugs have ruined more plants in my gardens than any other kind of pest. I've used slug pesticides before – always the morning after application there would be slug slime all over the yard and brown, shriveled slug carcasses everywhere. The aluminum powder, I'm told is too abrasive for slugs to crawl over and supposedly snakes don't like it either. Has anyone else tried this? Speaking of bugs and snakes, I've often slept in a hammock while warm-weather camping to elevate myself from the snakes, but now there's something to keep the hammock free of bugs as well. The Bug-Free Hammock Shield is basically a mosquito net for the hammock with a double-sided zipper to make it easy to get in and out of. It's $70 and apparently demand has been so great, there's about a one-month waiting list. It completely encloses the hammock, weighs 16 ounces and has 525 holes per square inch.

Rahall Recognized for Protecting National Parks WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep Nick Rahall (D–WV) was recently honored with the Friend of the National Parks Award from the National Parks Conservation Association (NPCA) for his contribution to protecting and enhancing America’s national parks and his support of legislation to uphold the standards and integrity of the National Park System. “Nature’s crown jewels, our National Parks, deserve our country’s constant protection and best efforts to preserve their wonders for our children’s children,” said Rahall, who has received national recognition for his strong dedication to protecting and preserving our nation's environment, while continuing to provide employment and tourism opportunities for our citizens. “In our state, we are blessed by the rich natural beauty of the New River Gorge National Park which is not only enjoyed by West Virginians, but it is driving job creation and economic opportunities adding millions of dollars to our local economy. That’s why the Boy Scouts have discovered ‘Almost Heaven’ is right here in our backyard.” “We are grateful that our members of Congress have demonstrated a solid commitment to

Mental Health Provider Puts the Brakes on Speeders, Cuts Liability Payments by $53,000 HUNTINGTON - West Virginia’s largest behavioral health care organization earned the prestigious Negley Director’s Award for Excellence in Risk Management for 2013. Prestera Center earned a $5,000 cash award for excellence in risk management practices offered by Negley Associates, an insurance company for the behavioral healthcare industry. The award was given to Karen Yost, President and CEO at Prestera Center and Craig Zappin, Prestera’s Risk Manager at national conferences held recently in Clearwater Beach Florida and Las Vegas Nevada. Prestera Center’s award was based on its efforts to reduce vehicle liability through implementation of a risk management program for vehicle safety, including installing a GPS tracking system in company vehicles. Prestera Center provides transportation for clients to and from medical appointments,
and maintains a fleet of 84 vehicles in 53 locations, making more than 70,000 trips annually. Transportation to medical appointments is a critical service. The size of the fleet of vehicles increases the potential for accidents and potential liability claims. The wide service area makes monitoring vehicle safety a challenge. The Fleetmatics GPS monitoring system installed in Prestera Center vehicles allows real-time tracking for all vehicles. Prestera reduced payments for at-fault claims to $1,100 in the first year from nearly $54,000 during the prior-year period. “We’ve had a marked decrease, and those claim numbers are just the liability payout,” says Craig Zappin, Prestera Center’s Risk Manager. “That doesn’t include days off or missed work time if someone is injured and it doesn’t include our workers’ compensation payments. Those numbers have also

Courtesy photo improved.” The monitoring system provides information about
vehicle location, fuel usage, speed and mileage, and other in-
sights into a mobile workforce and their driving habits, as well as ensuring that drivers are not using the organization’s vans during off work hours. The benefits of the system include safer driving habits, fewer insurance claims, improved oversight of the fleet and drivers and a renewed focus on safety among drivers. Prestera Center provides mental health and addiction recovery services at over fifty different locations across eight counties in West Virginia. Each year Prestera Center’s 850 staff members provide high quality care to over 21,000 individuals annually.
