MILTON - “If you build it, they will come.” That’s the philosophy behind the newly revamped Pumpkin Park auditorium and it seems to be working. Throughout the year, first-time concert guests are wowed by the quality of sound and aesthetically pleasing appearance of the newly tuned concert facility. With a new name backing it up, the Milton Performing Arts Center - or MPAC - is growing. From the installation of a stateof-the-art sound system to the addition of a spotlight booth, the concert hall is becoming an area destination. “I always thought this was possible, and it’s really come to reality this past year,” said Bill Kelley, president of WV Pumpkin Festival. “We’re working toward our
MPAC is making an impact - The performing arts center continues to expand and upgrade. Recently, crews built an addition over the balcony to house a new lighting system. The facility now has a new website, an upgraded sound system and expanded seating to hold upwards of 900 guests.

Barboursville Leo Club has Certification Ceremony SUBMITTED ARTICLE BARBOURSVILLE - On Tuesday, May 28, 2013, the Barboursville Leo Club, a youth club sponsored by the Barboursville Lions Club, had a certification ceremony. District Governor Lion Donna Pinkerman, First Vice-District Governor Lion Amanda Means, and Second ViceDistrict Governor Lion Karen HallDundas were in attendance and participated in the ceremony. District 29-O Chair Lions Daniel Harper also was in attendance to induct the new officers of the club.
Past District Governor Lion John Pinkerman, Barboursville Lions Club president and Barboursville Leo Club advisor Lion Charlie Buzzard, and co-advisor Lion Tim Stephens also had a part in the certification ceremony. Before the Leo officers and members were inducted, Lion Tim Stephens gave an invocation, asking for guidance from above for the new club. Lion John Pinkerman reviewed the history of the Leo program, noting when and where it all began. Coach Jim Graver started
the Leo ball rolling in 1957 and chances are that the ball was a baseball. Graver was the baseball coach of the Abington High School in Pennsylvania, USA and an active member of the Glenside Lions Club. With help from his fellow Lion, William Ernst, the first Leo club was certified on December 5, 1957. As the world's first Leo club, the Abington High School Leo Club created the Leo acronym - Leadership, Equality, Opportunity - and they chose their school colors, ma-
roon and gold to serve as the Leo club colors. Later, Equality was changed to Experience. In October 1967, the board of directors of Lions Clubs International adopted the Leo Club Program as an official program of the association. The Leo Club Program has been growing strong for over 50 years. Community service remains the cornerstone of the program. Like their Lions counterparts, Leo club SEE CEREMONY ON PAGE 9

50th year of operation - Climb Cheat Mountain on the Cass Scenic Railroad in 2013 Golden Anniversary Run Scheduled June 15 GREEN BANK, WV – In 1900, a community’s economy would rely on logging timber on Cheat Mountain and the mill operations in town.

On June 15, 1963, that new economy would become Cass Scenic Railroad, a tourist train. Shay No. 4 (and No. 1) departed the depot at 10:30 a.m. with the passengers riding in four converted flat car took the inaugural run. Since then, Cass Scenic Railroad State Park has continued to preserve railroad history and community. On Saturday, June 15, 2013, 50 years to the date and hour, Shay No. 4 will once again haul its “people cargo” up Cheat Mountain to Whittaker Station to commemorate what has become an icon for the Mountain State’s tourism industry – Cass Scenic Railroad State Park.

Barboursville man sentenced to 14 months for illegal Firearm Possession HUNTINGTON – A Barboursville man has been sentenced to one year and two months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release for illegal firearm possession. Kenneth Richard Nance, 43, of Barboursville, had previously pleaded guilty in March to possession of a firearm by a person subject to a domestic violence protection order. He was sentenced on Monday, June 3, in U.S. District Court in Huntington by Chief United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers. On Dec. 7, 2011, Nance pos-
sessed a Raven .25-caliber pistol. At the time Nance possessed the firearm, he was subject to a Domestic Violence Protection Order (DVPO) issued by the Family Court of Cabell County. Nance knew that the DVPO was in effect at the time he possessed the firearm in December 2011. The defendant also knew it was illegal to possess a firearm or ammunition while the DVPO was in effect. The investigation was conducted by the FBI, the ATF, the Cabell County Sheriff’s Department and the West Virginia State Police. Assistant United States
Attorney Lisa Johnston handled the prosecution. This case was brought as part of Project Safe Neighborhoods, a nationwide commitment to
reduce gun crime in the United States by networking existing local programs targeting gun crime.

“FATHERS, DADS, POPS” Thought for the week: And, ye fathers provoke not your children to wrath; but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4 (KJV) This coming Sunday, we honor Father’s Day. We all have memories that stand out in our minds, about our fathers. One of my favorite, Is after the supper meal, my Poppy, would say “jump in the truck, we’ll go up the road”. He worked for the gas company, and drove the company vehicle, which was a bright orange Columbia gas truck. We would visit aunts and uncles and then stop at the local store, where Mr. Ball would sit me on the store counter and give me candy or ice cream. I vowed when I grew up, I would marry Mr. Ball; he was not married, but there would have been about a 30 year age difference. In the late forty’s everybody
who had some land, grew tobacco to sell. A tobacco allotment it was called. So while driving past others tobacco crops, my Poppy would always comment on whose tobacco was doing the best, especially after a hard spring rain shower...it was as if he was an inspector, making sure all tobacco and gardens were growing well. All fathers have a tremendous job to do, providing for their families, it is a born instinct to take care of their loved ones, making sure they are housed, clothed and fed; there are many fathers who go without their needs to make sure their family comes first. Today it is the same for Mothers - the Jan. 2010 US. Labor statistics shows 64.2 million women receiving a paycheck, compared with 63.4 million men. Honor thy father and mother; which is the first commandant
The Cabell Standard with promise; That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. Ephesians 6; 2-3. The first observance of Father’s Day actually took place in Fairmont, WV. on July 5th 1908 - it was to celebrate the lives of the 210 fathers who lost their lives in the Monongahela mining disaster on Dec. 6th 1907. After many bills in congress, it was not until 1966 Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson designated the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day; then in 1972 president Richard Nixon signed it into law. What took so long to decide on a date so important as to honor our fathers? A Sunday school teacher, began her lesson with a question, “Boys and girls, what do we know about God?” A four year old hand, shot up into the air, “HE IS A ARTIST’’!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ‘’Really, how do you know?” The teacher asked. “YOU KNOW - OUR FATHER, WHO DOES ART IN HEAVEN.” Prayer: Our father, who art in heaven,Thank you, for being our HEAVENLY father, and bless all fathers wherever this day. Amen.

exist. Many of the halls he walked through have been updated and renovated. Caldwell started at Highlawn Elementary then moved on to Winslow Jr. High, Central Elementary, Merritt’s Creek Elementary, Washington Elementary, Johnston Elementary, Monroe Elementary and Milton Elementary. From teaching to coaching and leading as principal, the area resident has molded the minds of thousands. His journey started during a summer job at a Wheeling playground. “I enjoyed working with the kids there,” he said. “So, I decided to become a teacher.” The love for working with children grew as Caldwell’s career blossomed. To him, every classroom became his family. “They were my kids - my family,” Caldwell said. “I’ve taught children, who went on to be doctors, teachers, company starters and successful leaders.” After nearly a half-century of working in the Cabell County school system, Caldwell decided to retire. It was not an easy choice, and thus remains a bittersweet one. “I’ve had mixed emotions,” he said. “Recently, one of my teachers retired - I agree with what he said - “go out with people wondering why I’m leaving rather
than when am I going to leave.” According to teachers, students and friends, Caldwell accomplished this. Davis Creek Elementary Principal Viki Caldwell has been married to her husband for more than 40 years. She has watched his inspiring passion for children, firsthand. “Through the years, the whole time, he always put children first in everything,” Caldwell said. “Adults still remember him and his influence on them.” She met Caldwell during teacher training at Highlawn Elementary. Their love soared from there. Caldwell looks at her husband as more than a teacher, principal and administrative assistant, but rather, a selfless man who placed the wellbeing of children above himself. “He worked closely with many kids who may have come from broken homes - he had high expectations that he made sure they achieved,” she said. “He still keeps in touch with many of them.” Culloden Elementary Principal Debbie Smith looks at her colleague as a father-like role model. In 1989, she taught at Milton Elementary. Caldwell was the principal. Even then, his love for the school was undeniable, she said. “You could just tell he loved
what he did,” Smith said, smiling. The Culloden school leader recalled a day, more than 10 years ago, when Caldwell spoke of a goal for his Milton school. “I want to make this a National Title I Distinguished School,” he boldly declared. The two applied for that honor. Shortly after, the school achieved it. More importantly than receiving awards, Smith remembers the impact students received from her mentor. “Every day in the halls, Denny was always smiling, hugging kids and making it a happy place,” she said. “His heart was there.” Caldwell always placed reading as the core skill every child should achieve. Every year, when parents enrolled boys and girls into kindergarten, the caring school leader would give them a book at registration. That legacy still lives on today with Smith. “I still do that now,” she said. There are 19 elementary schools in Cabell County. Caldwell has been involved in nearly all of them. Many principals and teachers received their training from Caldwell. “Humble is a good word to describe him - we’ve said goodbye to a great asset,” Smith said. “We’re all basically his children.”

Arson Investigation Heats Up By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON - State Fire Marshals completed another link in the chain of their arson investigation. In late May, they charged the second person, connected to a March 15 fire. After making their first arrest of Donovan Smith, authorities quickly found his brother Kenneth Luke Holden of South Point, Ohio. Authorities charged Holden with eight felonies, including burglary and arson. The 24year-old was already incarcerated at the Western Regional Jail when State Fire Marshals
Another link in the chain - State Fire Marshals charge Kenneth Holden with eight felonies, related to burglary and arson, stemming from a March fire. Courtesy Photo executed the warrant May 24. The charges that originally landed him in jail in April stemmed from grand larceny
and burglary in an unrelated incident. “The case is coming together, and it’s awesome it’s moved forward the way it has” said Asst. State Fire Marshal Tim Chastain. “We’ll have one more.” Chastain is one of 12 investigators in the state. He has racked up more than 100 cases since last July. Arson is always a challenging one to solve for investigators. “It’s a hard crime to investigate because a lot of times the physical evidence burns in the fire,” he said. As of Tuesday, June 4th, Holden remained in Western Regional Jail, pending a $200,000 bond, according to booking records.

"I offer my congratulations to the principals, teachers, parents and students for their hard work and dedication to helping their
school become a School of Excellence," said state Superintendent of Schools Jim Phares. "These schools have shown how to continually exceed the academic bar and they deserve this recognition." Schools of Excellence are selected based on the following criteria: a rigorous and challenging curriculum; a safe and drugfree learning environment; participatory leadership; active teaching and learning; an environment that strengthens teacher skills; documented stu-
dent achievement; and implementing advanced and innovated programs. Individual school applications were reviewed by a panel to determine where site visits should occur. During the site visits, the schools provided the site visitors with verification and documentation to support a final recommendation for recognition. Schools will be recognized with a reception and banquet on Oct. 9 at the Clay Center in Charleston.

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens Walkie Talkies I saw my aunt Claudia in the grocery store today, as I did the last time I saw her - and she said she did not remember giving me a cigarette. Well, we both are getting older, ha-ha, but I do remember. Anyway, she had 2 walkie talkies and I know she will remember the walkie talkies. On Buzzard Creek we made our own entertainment. We would play outside all day and then stay out and catch the lightening bugs until it was time to come inside. One sunny day on Buzzard Creek, Claudia and I took a walk as I was staying with her. I usually remember Buzzard Creek in the summer, but I have stayed in the winter also. Claudia and I took a walk down the road, she one direction and I in the other. She would talk to me and I would talk back to her. We decided one day to get under the electric wire which ran from pole to pole and did we ever hit pay dirt! We could hear the electric workers or whoever they were talking to each other and we had a connection to the outside world. I could have listened to them forever. We would talk but no one heard us, of course. We stayed out all afternoon talking and listening on the walkie talkies. Now we have cell phones, telephones and all these other gadgets and we say we are connected. We may be connected to the outside world but I really enjoyed the walkie talkies. My mom bought a police scanner once and we listened one Friday evening and I don't know how the police do their jobs with all the tom-foolery going on. The one call that stands out in my mind is when the police pulled over a girl and asked for her driver’s license but they were not hers. She was using someone else’s driver’s license. How bright is that? Anyway, Mom got rid of the scanner, really aggravating after awhile, but those walkie talkies sure were fun for a little girl one summer.

Fishing made in America
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
Look around next time you are shopping for tackle.
You'd be surprised just how much fishing tackle is made in the United States – I try to buy those when I can. Americans have designed much of the world's most innovative lures, many of which created amazing stories of entrepreneurship rivaled only by Finland's Lauri Rapala. One of those designers, Dan Galbincea, of Liberty Steel, Ohio, ran a charter boat service after returning home from World War II, where he served in the Army's 17th Airborne. He had a wife and six children, but quit his job to open a tackle shop and caught the walleye bug when he started fishing Lake Erie. At the time, most walleye fishermen were using spinners and worked to perfect one with a weight-forward design. That lure made him a leg-
end. Here's the story of how he named it: his wife Helen, wanted him to stay home, at least for once, instead of fishing on Lake Erie. With a bit of passive-aggressiveness, she said, "fine, go to your Erie, dearie." Today the Erie Dearie is the top-selling walleye lure in the United States and the lure is quite productive for other fish as well. The Erie Dearie still sells at a price competitive with those of Asian imports. Best of all, it's still made in America. RDLM LLC, the company that owns Erie Dearie, also owns Carlson tackle, maker of some well-known lures, such as Mr. Wiggly. Virtually everything the company offers, with a couple of exceptions (one is the snag-free sinker), is made in the United States.
There are several others who still make lures in the United States, including Mann's Bait Company and Voyager Tackle. Don't forget the smaller operations, either. One could even stock an entire tacklebox with lures made in West Virginia, such as the spinners and flies made by Joe's Flies in Harrison County. You'll find them in a lot of stores, even the bigger chain stores. Beware of wolves in sheep's clothing, especially with reels. I'm sure there are others, but one truly American reel that comes to mind is Newell. If you see a reel with "made in America" stamped on the handle, take it apart before you buy it and see if you see "China" anywhere inside. So, there's not a lot of reels made in American anymore. That doesn't mean it's hard to fish with
one. Most of the fishing reels made from the 1920s to 1960s were produced in great numbers, most companies made the same model for decades and fishing reels are something people generally keep for years. Thus, they typically – with some exceptions – aren't worth much. These old American reels, most of them much better built than anything available today, are fairly easy to find. You can often find them at yard sales, flea markets and antique shops. The best source, I believe, is EBay. That's where I bought my fly reel, an ambidextrous Pflueger Medalist fly reel from the 1940s. I have fished with that reel for more than 10 years.

cently, the first class of “wildlife detector dogs” and their handlers graduated from training in searching for protected species. In coming weeks, they will be stationed at key ports of entry around the country, searching for wildlife smuggled across U.S. borders. The four retrievers – named Viper, Butter, Lancer and Locket – have been trained as part of a national effort to stem the growing trade in threatened animal parts such as elephant ivory and rhino horn. Back to invasive species: The snakehead from Asia has infested a lot of U.S. waters. They are a very strange creature, they can actually come out of the water and walk to another body of water. The Marine Corps did its part to thin Virginia snakehead numbers by holding a snakehead tournament near Quantico, VA on June
7. That tournament has likely produced a world-record snakehead. Caleb Newton caught a 17pound, 6-ounce snakehead from the Potomac River tributary near Ashland, Va. He landed the fish into his boat Saturday using 15pound test line and a light rod. The current International Game Fish Association world record snakehead is a Godzilla-sized 17pound, 4-ounce beast caught in Japan in 2004. Newton, 27, said the fish was so large it barely fit into his ice chest. If you want to see one up close, you can actually buy them in a jar at the Asian supermarket in South Charleston, about a block from Gorby's Music (and on the same street). I'm not making this up. The snakeheads are dead, of course, and packed in a jar for consumption. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
Outdoors Roundup From the recently-concluded WestVirginia Spring Gobbler season: Hunters in Putnam County harvested 221 birds, up from 196 the year before. Hunters in Cabell County harvested 132 birds, up three turkeys from the year before. The top 10 counties were Preston with a kill of 403, Mason (360), Harrison (355), Kanawha (327), Ritchie (325), Jackson (312), Greenbrier (309), Wood (308), McDowell (305) and Marshall (301). I've got a terrible case of poison ivy. What gives you that itchy rash is a substance called urishol oil that is found in the plants. My exposure came from weedeating the riverbank at my parents' house. If you wash the poison-ivy oil off with soap and water within a few minutes after exposure, you can usually prevent any problems.
There's a new West Virginia state record for rainbow trout. Tony Corbin, Gerrardstown, caught a 30.5-inch, 17.31-pound fish from a private pond in Berkeley County. He caught the record rainbow using a swimbait on 10pound test line. The previous weight record for rainbow trout was a 15.65-pound fish caught by Aaron Propps from another private pond in 2005. The state record length remains a 31.7-inch rainbow caught by John P. Arnett in 1993 at Stonecoal Lake. Minnesota is now using dogs to sniff out zebra mussels. Minnesota has about a bazillion lakes – and officials are trying to keep zebra mussels out. Zebra mussels are originally from streams in Russia, but have spread to North America in the bilge tanks of cargo vessels. They can also spread via smaller craft.
Unlike Minnesota, most of our waters are connected and you'll see zebra mussels in a lot of them. They are fairly small and very numerous, you'll find them in the Kanawha and Ohio rivers especially. Freshwater drum will eat them and apparently they eat quite a bit of them, but don't put much of a dent in the invasive-mussel population. If you fish for freshwater drum, you might notice red, irritated tissue around their rear ends. That's from passing half-digested zebra-mussel shells. The People's Republic of California is already using dogs to sniff out invasive species on boats and the Minnesota officials went there for training. Speaking of dogs: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also using dogs to sniff out cargo coming from outside the country. Re-
Division of Natural Resources Warns: Don’t Feed the Bears! DNR reminds all WV residents that feeding black bears is a violation of state law, as well as a misguided disservice to our state animal, according to Colin Carpenter, black bear project leader for the DNR Wildlife Resources Section. “Some people will illegally set out food so they can get a closer look at this often secretive animal,” Carpenter said. “However, these actions often lead to the destruction of the bear. Bear movements are tied to food sources. Bears that roam in and around residential areas in search of food are less likely to stay if they do not find anything to eat.”
Capturing and moving bears that have become accustomed to humans is a costly and often ineffective way of addressing the problem, especially if it just moves the problem from one place to another. Human/bear interactions increase during the spring and summer for several reasons. Natural food sources are at their lowest point when bears leave their dens in the spring. Bears often spend several weeks feeding on green vegetation while continuing to lose weight. High-energy foods such as serviceberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries do not become available until later in the
summer. In addition, the bear breeding season, which peaks from late June through July, puts many bears on the move. During the breeding season, males will cover large areas while searching for females. This is also the time of year when adult female bears will chase off their yearlings so that they may breed again. Human-related food sources are higher in calories and easier to obtain than natural foods. All bears, especially yearlings that are on their own for the first time, will take advantage of easy food sources. Bears will continue on their way if they do not find easy food. Bears quickly become habitu-
ated to handouts in the form of trash, bird seed, pet food and feed placed out for other animals, and lose their fear of humans. They then resort to raiding garbage, outdoor freezers, storage sheds, vehicles and other structures associated with people. “The unintentional feeding of black bears is something that can be prevented, “Carpenter said. “Garbage should be secured in a bear-proof facility and placed out for collection on the morning of pick-up, not the night before. Food scraps that produce large amounts of odor should be sealed in a plastic bag before being placed in the trash. Food scraps should not be
placed in a compost pile during the summer months. Residents should remove all outside pet food at night, and bird feeders should be taken down, cleaned, and stored until late fall to further discourage bears from feeding around human habitation. If you do not remove food attractants until after a bear has become a nuisance, you may have caused the death of that animal.” Feeding of any wildlife should be avoided for numerous reasons, including, but not limited to, disease transmission, increased predation, habitat destruction around the feeding site, ethical concerns, and the animal’s overall health.

Governor Tomblin announces Lonestar And Ronnie Milsap To Headline 150th Birthday Celebration Outdoor concert set for Capitol steps on June 22 CHARLESTON - A pair of bigname country music acts will headline West Virginia's 150th birthday celebration later this month, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced. Multi-platinum quartet Lonestar and country music legend Ronnie Milsap will cap a weekend of sesquicentennial festivities with a June 22 concert on the State Capitol steps. "This is a show I can't wait to see," said Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin. "Lonestar and Ronnie Milsap are superstar performers who've made some unforgettable music over the years---songs we all know by heart. Having them here at the Capitol will put a big exclamation point on our state's birthday party." Lonestar-featuring lead vocalist Richie McDonald, guitarist
Michael Britt, drummer Keech Rainwater, and keyboardist Dean Sams-has been thrilling music fans for more than 20 years, with three platinum-plus albums and 10 #1 country hits. The band's chart-topping songs include "Amazed," named 1999's Academy of Country Music Song of the Year, and 2003's "My Front Porch Looking In," which, like "Amazed," was Billboard's yearend country #1. Among Lonestar's other smash hits are "I'm Already There," "What About Now," "Smile," "Tell Her," and "No News." West Virginia's birthday isn't the only thing Lonestar has to celebrate this month. Today, the band releases its latest album, "Life As We Know It"--Lonestar's first full-length album
in over three years, and the first since the much-anticipated return of its original vocalist, Richie McDonald. Ronnie Milsap is one of the most successful and beloved country artists of all time. A sixtime Grammy winner, Milsap has recorded over 40 #1 hits during a career spanning four decades. Four of his albums have been named Country Music Association Album of the Year, and Milsap's career album sales exceed 35 million. Although best known as a country musician-and a near-certain future Country Music Hall of Famer-Milsap's remarkable career has transcended genres, covering styles from blues to R&B to pop to rock. Milsap is also a virtuoso live musician renowned as one of the most
entertaining concert performers in the business. Milsap will take the stage at 6:30 p.m. on June 22 and will be followed by Lonestar. The birthday celebration's daytime music lineup kicks off at 11 a.m. on June 22 and features a superb list of West Virginia artists including soul sensation Lady D, of Beckley; Lewisburg reggae funk band Vern's Pot O'Chili; Americana folk singer Christian Lopez of Martinsburg with his trio Joe Taxi; and the Davisson Brothers Band, rising country stars from Clarksburg. These artists will perform on the Capitol steps during the daytime festivities, entertaining the thousands of West Virginians expected to attend the celebration. The all-star musical slate is
part of West Virginia's 150th birthday festivities, which begin at the state Capitol on Thursday, June 20, and conclude Sunday, June 23. The celebration will include the ever-popular Smoke on the Water Chili Cook-Off, a classic car cruise-in, the unveiling of the Postal Service's West Virginia statehood stamp, food and craft vendors, the Vandalia Gathering, and three showings of a 3-D video spectacular that chronicles West Virginia's history and will be projected directly onto the face of the State Capitol. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the observances will end with fireworks shows by the world-famous Zambellis---the first family of fireworks. To view the complete schedule, visit: www.wv150.com.

Newly elected president of the Barboursville Leo Club Emily Kinner is congratulated by District Leo Chair Lion Daniel Harper. Courtesy photo members enjoy serving their neighbors and watching positive results unfold. Following the history of the program on the national and international level, Lion Charlie Buzzard reviewed the history of the Leo program locally. He noted that there had been two Leo clubs that were school-based at Cabell Midland High School and Barboursville Middle School. Both clubs, sponsored by the Barboursville Lions Club, were successful for a number of years. However, due to a declining membership and attendance at meetings, it was decided by the board of directors of the Barboursville Lions Club to dissolve both clubs. Two years ago Lion Charlie Buzzard made a decision to start a community-based Alpha Leo club. This club takes in members from age 12 to age 18. He met with a select few members for the better part of these two years until Lion Tim Stephens, who joined the Barboursville Lions Club two months ago, was able to recruit several new members in the last couple of months. Before a Leo club can be certified, it must have at least 20 members. The Barboursville Leo Club became certified by Lions Clubs International on April 11, 2013, with 21 members. The certification ceremony pro-

Furthermore, it has raised money for Relay for Life, the Huntington Area Food Bank, and the Cabell Midland Food Pantry. With more members now operating in an official capacity, the club hopes to continue to raise money to meet the needs of the local community.
things can happen,” said McCroskey. Vision is what Kelley and his staff have. Into the future, they see an overhaul of the park’s pond and the addition of new lighting and fans in the music hall. The ultimate goal is to turn MPAC into a destination for the Tri-State. “With Blenko Glass and Camden Park nearby, this could be part of a destination - this has great possibilities,” said Kelley, looking out his window, toward the park. Recently, Kelley and his crew watched hundreds pour into MPAC to see Ernie Haase and Gold City perform. Dailey & Vincent is the next act, coming June 15. “We’ll grow as word gets out and we become more and more known,” said McCroskey. “Right now, gospel music is a big draw.” The fan is ready to enjoy a stellar performance by Dailey & Vincent. The six-member-bluegrassgospel-group from Nashville, Tennessee has released six albums with five of them making it on at least one Billboard albums chart. The band has won 13 awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association and 23 awards from The Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America.
Coming soon - Dailey & Vincent will perform June 15. The Pumpkin Park staff is expecting a big turnout. Courtesy Photo In 2011, they received a Grammy Award nomination and won the 2011 Dove Award. In 2013, Dailey & Vincent received its second Grammy Award nomination. “I could listen to that group all night,” said McCroskey. “They’re one of the best bluegrass bands around and they do an excellent job.” Dailey & Vincent will perform 7:30 p.m. Saturday June 15.

Valley Park:Waves of Potential
Sliding into fun - Children race down the park’s waterslides. Photo by Justin Waybright

HURRICANE - A siren echoes throughout Valley Park. Children and adults race to jump into roaring waves. More than 1,500 people splashed into Waves of Fun during the weekend, according to pool records. The sun reflected off of mammoth waves, shiny slides and
guests from across the Tri-State. On a recent Friday, with school still in session, children and adults packed the wave pool. It was a pleasing sight for Putnam County Parks and Recreation Director Scott Williamson. “People love these waves,” he said. “You can hear everyone yell when they come up, and people make a mad dash to the pool.” Jamie Wright, manager of the wave pool is seeing early success and the fruits of his labor grow.
Waves of people - Adults and children enjoy a 90-degree day at Waves of Fun. Recently, guests from across the Tri-State poured into the newly updated county attraction. Photo by Justin Waybright Wright and his staff have logged countless hours, overhauling the pool during the past few months. “We’ve already had bigger crowds this week, compared to last year at this time,” he said. “I’m looking forward to a great season.” Near the entrance of the revamped pool, Milton resident Tammy Lunsford enjoyed fun in the sun with her granddaughter
Rilynn. Lunsford loves having a unique attraction within driving distance of her home. “Everything is great,” she said. “We have nothing like this anywhere close.” Seeing families have fun is what drives Williamson’s vision for parks in Putnam County. As he looks at the crowded pool, determination fills his eyes. “I’d like to see this expand into
a true waterpark with lazy rivers, lap pools - maybe go-kart racing, an arcade and a Myrtle Beachstyle mini-golf course,” Williamson said. “We’ve started efforts to move that direction, and this is an ideal location to pursue this.” The parks’ visionary continued, “That would put Putnam County at the top of the list.”
