Big Entertainment to Hit Barboursville By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

It’s one event coun-
cilmember Chris Tatum is excited about. “We were looking for someone that everyone could identify with,” Tatum said. “Greenwood is someone that will draw interest, excitement and a large crowd.” He continued, “We’ve never had an event of this magnitude at the amphitheater.” For years, village leaders have strived to bring the community together by hosting free or lowcost family events. The feeling of unity is becoming more prevalent in Barboursville be-
cause of their efforts, said Tatum. “The sense of community is something we all pride ourselves on,” he said. “Events like these bring people together.” The sense of celebration is also thriving throughout Barboursville. The 200th birthday is making its presence known. “The 200th anniversary comes along once in a lifetime,” said Tatum. “So, we want to do this right and do it in grand fashion.” Friday’s concert is $5 in adSEE BARBOURSVILLE ON PAGE 4

150th Anniversary of Droop Mountain Battle Memorial Hikes in 2013 HILLSBORO, WV - Few events aboutWestVirginia’s statehood and history will be more meaningful than the four memorial hikes at Droop Mountain Battlefield planned in 2013. The hikes, scheduled for June 22, July 20, August 31, and November 5-6, will be sponsored by Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park in cooperation with the Pocahontas County Tourism Commission’s Appalachian Enrichment Series. “It’s an honor to share the history that Droop Mountain represents in the formation of our state with verbal accounts as well as physical exertion,” said Mike Smith, park superintendent. “At various points along the way, short readings of official reports, letters, and diaries pertinent to that particular march will help relate the modern view to its historical context.” Smith, an avid historian, has planned and will conduct the four memorial hikes to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the November 6, 1863, Battle of Droop Mountain. A Confederate army route and three Union army routes used by troops gathering for West Virginia’s last significant Civil War battle are charted. For safety and logistical reasons, participation will be limited and preregistration is required. “Any person with an interest in history or just desiring some good
exercise is encouraged to register and to take part,” Smith said. “Descendants of soldiers who fought at Droop Mountain are especially encouraged to participate, walk over the same ground as their Civil War ancestors, and share any stories they may have.” Reenactors with authentic period clothing are welcome to give a military air to the excursions, but period dress is not required of other participants. All hikes will begin at Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park and participants will carpool or be shuttled to the hike start points. These four unique excursions are intended as memorial hikes, not races, and all participants are expected to remain in a single group throughout the hike. A registration form is online at www.droopmountainbattlefield.co m, “Events.” Preregistration is required. Registrants should be in good physical condition. Registrants will be added to each list until the limit is reached. Additional registrants will be maintained as alternates in the event of cancellations. June 22,2013 - 10thWV Infantry & 28th Ohio Infantry Memorial Hike Hike # 1 is a nine-mile hike along single-lane paved public roads with 800 feet elevation change, most of that in a 2 ½ mile stretch.

It will involve negotiating a few large boulders, fallen trees & branches. No support vehicle will be provided; snacks, drinks, and personal items will have to be carried by hikers.

This will be a moderate-to-difficult hike and is expected to take three to four hours and will be limited to 25 participants in good condition. Preregistration is required and necessary. Assembly will be at Droop Mountain Battlefield State Park office 8 a.m. sharp. Contact: 304-653-4254 August 31, 2013 - 8th WV

This is a three-mile hike through some fields, but mostly privately owned woodland, partly on old log roads. Some sections are extremely steep, possibly requiring use of hands or trekking pole. The route is all uphill and fairly steep overall, with 800 feet elevation change. No support vehicle will be provided; snacks, drinks, and personal items will have to be carried by hikers. Restrooms available at park at the end of hike, otherwise relief relies on 1800s protocol. This will be a moderate-to-difficult hike and is expected to take three to four hours.

Assembly will be at the park office 7 a.m.; early start necessary so participants can be back to park for other reenactment activities in the afternoon. Contact: 304653-4254 November 5-6, 2013 - Echols’ Brigade, Confederate Army of Southwestern Virginia Memorial Hike Hike #4 is the Echols’ Brigade, Confederate Army of Southwestern Virginia Memorial Hike with a starting point near Lewisburg, W.Va. This will be a 27-mile hike along US Rt. 219, mostly at night, with 1000 feet 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 porta-john 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 names (of battle casualties) in the early afternoon. Because much of Hike #4 will be at night and along a major highway, reflective arm bands (provided by the park) will be worn by all participants. Other safety measures may also be required. Contact: 304-6534254.

“BIG CHURCHES” Thought for the week: And let us consider one-another to provoke unto love and to good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some; but exhorting one another and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10: 24-25. (KJV) Due to the state road repairs in my area, I did not attend my regular church this past week, so I visited another one nearby, which is a much larger church in the community; in attendance, structure, and more activities. This church is blessed with lots of young people, with much talent, and people willing to work for God. Their recent rummage sale brought in $1,000.00 to benefit the surrounding food banks. There are many churches in WV Cabell County alone has over 191 listed churches of various denominations. The main purpose is to share the good news of Jesus and to help individuals find fulfillment in the Lords will for their
life. For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office; So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one member’s one of another. Romans 12: 4-5. The title of this article can mean either of the two, a large congregation, or a large seating church. Some times more room, doesn’t always mean a larger church - the people are the church and little can do much. We may go to church all our life, give our tithes, time and pray for others, but unless we sincerely worship our God, it is useless. God is a spirit; and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4: 24. Yesterdays, newly formed communities started with a school, supply store, and church. These three made a town. Your children were introduced to the church, just as the school, to learn of God, and His creation, early in life. It is as important today as it was 100 years ago; children learn to become responsible adults, by
The Cabell Standard reading and memorizing Bible verses that will continue thru their lifetime. Vacation bible school was the summer activity most looked forward to, when school was over for the summer, you went barefoot, ate your peanut butter sandwich for lunch, and went swimming in the river on a hot day. It was truly like the song says “IN THE GOOD OLD SUMMERTIME.” Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter. Psalm 74:17 Summer begins this Friday, June 21st also known as Summer Solstice - the longest day of the year - with 14 hours of daylight. Celebrate this summer day with a friend, call them, and let them know you were thinking of them. Attend a church this Sunday; meet with your friends and neighbors, our time on earth passes by quickly. God, The Master Creator, wants us to enjoy our time on earth, which we can take for granted. In the future - what kind of legacy will you leave behind at the mention of your name? Prayer: Thank you God for all your days of our life and for the beginning of another summertime season. Amen.

EMS helps to Save County Big Bucks By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
HUNTINGTON - High insurance rates and workers compensation payouts plague every county EMS and sheriff's department across the nation. However, during Thursday's Cabell County Commission meeting, commissioners learned their policy could go down significantly because of changes and upgrades to various departments. Recently Cabell County Administrator Chris Tatum met with insurance and workers compensation agents. The county is making changes in its policy that will net potential savings of more than $150,000, he said. "We're seeing significant savings in workers’ comp," Tatum
said. "The sheriff's department and EMS department should be commended for that." Like Putnam County, in recent years the Cabell County EMS Department has purchased backsaving bariatric power cots to eliminate many claims due to back injury. Also, under EMS Director A. Gordon Merry's guidance, the EMS crews have received power chair carriers. "The chair carriers are the same concept - but there are so many buildings here that are more than one floor, so we use these for getting people up and down," Merry explained. "It's a chair with tracks that walks them up and down." With the state's obesity population rising, transporting patients becomes more and more a challenge for first responders. Merry is doing all that he can to reduce on-the-job injuries to his
crew. "We train and re-train," he said. "The insurance carrier did classes with us too." However, sometimes training is not enough. Sometimes, there is no avoiding injuries, Merry explained. "Sometimes, we're put into conditions we can't control," he said. "You can have all the training in the world, but you get someone who is stuck between a bathtub and toilet, and you can't lift them like you're supposed to." Merry hopes to continue chipping away at workers compensation and insurance premiums by being proactive. In the future, he hopes to provide his crews with more bariatric lifts and power chair carriers. The county EMS currently uses six bariatric cots and three power chair carriers.

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens My Kitchen Window Looking out my kitchen window I can see all kinds of things. I see the birds flying and the butterflies in the summer. I see the birds come and eat from my ‘crow rock’. I call the rock my ‘crow rock’ because lately the crows have been cawing for me and I feed them bread which I put on the rock on the hill. I think they have gotten to know me because every time I go out the door, there they are. I think they like me. From my kitchen window, as I do my dishes, I also see squirrels in the trees and we have a woodpecker that comes around occasionally. Out my kitchen window is a dream world and the handiwork of God. The trees and the little things we take for granted. As I wash my dishes I can look out my window and contemplate and think of the times I would watch the kids play and run around the house. I like my window at my sink because I have always had it. There is just something about a window at a sink that makes a house feel right. Some may not like a window at their sink as they do the dishes - but I like mine. Through my kitchen window, I find new things - if I take the time to look.

Fishing at state parks – a family favorite, a lifetime pursuit SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV Ponds, lakes, streams and rivers in West Virginia sustain a favorite pastime: fishing. Warm and cold water fisheries in West Virginia include bluegill, bass, catfish other fish species and trout. “Regardless of what fish species a person is angling for, fishing can become an activity enjoyed throughout a person’s lifetime. If you’re lucky, you start fishing early in life with a parent, grandparent or friend,” said Renee Fincham, park naturalist at Cacapon Resort State Park. Cacapon is one of five state parks lakes to participate in a tagged channel catfish stocking program. Fish Thinking at West Virginia State Parks Catfishing Tagged channel catfish will be stocked into lakes at five state parks in mid-May: Cacapon (Morgan Co.), Cedar Creek
(Gilmer Co.), Chief Logan (Logan Co.), Pipestem (Summers Co.), and Tomlinson Run (Hancock Co.). Anglers who catch a tagged fish are asked to return the tag or the tag number along with information on the date of capture, if the fish was kept or released, and the name and address of the angler to WVDNR, 2311 Ohio Ave, Parkersburg, WV 26101. Anglers also can call in the information (304-420-4550) or provide the information via email dnrfishtags@wv.gov Anglers who report a tagged fish will receive the “tagged reward,” park information, a certificate and a letter of congratulations via US mail after the information is received and recorded by DNR fisheries biologists. Each certificate has a choice of three prizes: a train ride at Cass Scenic Railroad, a boat ride on the sternwheeler “Island Belle” to Blennerhassett
Island or a Recreational Activity Pass at Pipestem resort. Other state park area lakes stocked with catfish but not tagged include: Berwind Lake (McDowell Co.), Laurel Lake (Mingo Co.), Little Beaver State Park Lake (Raleigh Co.), North Bend State Park Pond (Ritchie Co.), Pendleton Lake at Blackwater Falls State Park (Tucker Co.), and Watoga State Park Lake (Pocahontas Co.). Fishing without a license A fishing license is required except for two specific days each year known as Free Fishing Days. In general, Free Fishing Days allow the public to fish without a license. Dates vary from state to state but in West Virginia the two dates in 2013 were June 8 and 9. According to takemefishing.org, “fishing with kids is a great way to connect as a family and to experience the outdoors.” There are over 35 state park areas to
enjoy fishing. First Fish – It’s a big deal Sometimes a youngster or an adult needs a small acknowledgement or recognition to reinforce a positive experience. “Catching your first fish is a big deal,” said Kristi Steed at North Bend State Park. “You would have thought my son was Curtis Fleming or Bill Dance with his first, a bluegill.” The young Steed received an “I caught my first fish at North Bend” certificate from park naturalist Ken Zebo and proudly displayed it at his home. State parks with naturalists award paper certificates to visitors who catch their first fish in park waters. Presentations can be at campfire programs or with the individual or family. The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources wildlife section offers an online method of fishing rewards, a First Fish Certificate that can be completed
online and printed. “This allows a parent to acknowledge a child or an adult with a printed document commemorating the event.” The online document webpage is at www.wvdnr.gov, Fishing, First Fish Certificate. The wildlife section also offers a “First Deer” certificate option. The woods and waters in West Virginia make for ideal fishing conditions throughout the year whether at a West Virginia state park and forest area or the multiple Wildlife Management Areas or public waters throughout the Mountain State.

The Division of Natural Resources includes state parks, wildlife resources, natural resources police, Office of Land and Streams and Wonderful West Virginia magazine.

Stay Poison Safe While Camping: The West Virginia Poison Center Offers Safe Camping Tips CHARLESTON, WV – With the “official” start of summer comes weekends of camping fun for many West Virginians. While camping, many poison hazards can turn a fun-filled weekend into a poison nightmare. The West Virginia Poison Center (WVPC) offers these camping safety tips. Food Paying attention to thorough cooking of meats and proper storage of leftovers is not just essential at home. Check food cooked over a campfire or heated on a camp stove to make sure cooking is complete before eating
it. Use enough ice or cold storage packs to make sure the cooler actually stays cold. Discard all food requiring refrigeration if left at room temperature for longer than two hours. Symptoms of food poisoning may include stomach cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Drinks While sitting around the campfire, there may be leftover cups, glasses, bottles, or cans which may contain alcoholic beverages. It can be very dangerous if children drink from these containers. Empty alcoholic drinks as soon as possible and do not leave them
sitting out where children can get them. Bites Avoid putting hands in spaces that cannot be seen. Snakes can be found in piles of logs or rocks, or under objects that have not been disturbed for awhile. Black widow spiders hide in dark, wet areas. Never touch, disturb, or provoke snakes or spiders. Check for ticks every day and remove any that are seen by grasping the tick as close to the skin as possible and pulling it out in a continuous motion. Do not burn them or apply chemicals to them. Bug Spray When applying bug spray, be sure to read and follow the directions. When used as directed, these products are unlikely to cause harm. Keep bug sprays away from children and only allow adults to apply the product.
To avoid potential irritation, do not apply bug sprays on the face. After applying, wash hands. Plants Keep a watch out for poisonous plants, mushrooms, or berries. Teach children to never put a part of a plant, mushroom, or berry into their mouth. Remember, just because a bird or animal eats the plant, mushroom, or berry does not make it safe for children or adults. Carbon Monoxide Never use generators, fuelpowered stoves, or lanterns inside your tent or camper. These products can produce hazardous, deadly fumes called carbon monoxide. Also, check gas and fuel canisters for leaks and turn them off when not in use. If You Suspect A Poisoning If you suspect a poisoning has occurred, do not wait for symp-
toms to appear. Call the West Virginia Poison Center at 1-800-2221222 to immediately talk to a medical expert in poison information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Poison Center is free and confidential. About the West Virginia Poison Center: The West Virginia Poison Center provides comprehensive emergency poison information, prevention and educational resources to West Virginians 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

June 6: One Unforgettable Evening By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
NITRO - A Rainbow stretched over the I-64 Bridge, near this city Thursday evening. At approximately 5:33 p.m., Lina Johnson picked up her 9-monthold girl Abigail from Teays Valley Child Development Center. After a short telephone call to her husband Mike, the Dunbar resident headed eastbound on I-64, toward home. As her 2011 Honda Civic neared the interstate bridge that stretches over the Kanawha River, absolute chaos arrested the young mother's attention. Ahead of Johnson, vehicles crashed and slammed into one another. "Cars were smashing into each other like dominoes," Johnson recalled. "I heard crunching metal right before me." A tractor trailer drove beside her and a car had just crashed in front of her. Johnson had a spilt-second to make a decision. ...Boom! Her small sedan smashed into the car ahead of her. One second later: Boom! A vehicle careened into her from behind. Airbags deployed, windows shattered and the car's sheet metal crumpled up like a piece of paper. The driver's seat moved backward. "My seat went completely back," Johnson remembered. The Honda had been instantly turned into a convertible. Meanwhile, Johnson's baby sat in a car seat, screaming. Stunned, but still conscious, the mother looked toward her frightened daughter. Abigail was ok. The baby was untouched. Not a single scratch or bruise appeared on her body. Trapped in the car with her crying infant, Johnson fought to break free. Rushing to the scene, a husband and wife checked on her. The two happened to be paramedics on their way to work. They were first on the scene. Moments later, sirens from fire trucks, police cars and ambulances broke through the atmosphere. First responders from police, EMS and fire stations across Putnam and Cabell counties raced to rescue more than 28 injured people. Nitro Police Maj. D.K. Richardson III stepped out of his cruiser onto what appeared to be a warzone. A line of 38 mangled vehicles spanned more than 1/4-mile across the river. "As I walked onto the crash scene, on the quarter-mile-bridge, I saw crashes from one end to the other," Richardson said. "The fur-
What used to be - This is all that is left of Ryan's 2011 Honda Civic. First responders had to cut the mother and daughter out of the destroyed car. Courtesy Photo ther I walked, the worse it got." The law enforcement veteran continued, "As I walked by, I just gasped because three or four cars looked like they had been turned into convertibles." Inside every vehicle Richardson passed, he checked on drivers and passengers. The officer has served in law enforcement for more than 16 years. During his check, his instincts told him the bridge would be plagued with fatalities and severe injuries. "I thought there's no way they're all ok - someone's got to be hurt," he recalled. "There's no way everybody is talking." But they were. "It appeared to be a very tragic scene that wasn't," Richardson said. He remembered a destroyed Honda with a mother and daughter in it. "Her car was one of the worst vehicles in the crash," the Nitro officer said. "I'm amazed no one was killed or seriously hurt in that one." At about 6 p.m., first responders used the Jaws of Life to cut Johnson from her totaled car. By this time, phone calls went out to family and friends that she had been involved in a serious accident. Johnson’s mother and daycare worker Grace Meloy received the call that her daughter was involved in the wreck everyone was talking about. Traffic backed up from the bridge all the way to her daycare center in Scott Depot. "I had parents picking up their children, telling me it was going to be ok," the Poca resident remembered. An ambulance transported Johnson to CAMC's General Hospital. Meloy raced to Charleston, taking back roads to reach her hurting daughter and grandbaby. "At this point, I was shouting prayers and crying," she remembered. "I said, 'Lord forgive me but I'm not ready to give up these two jewels for your crown.’" Meloy called Johnson's husband
with the news. Mike Johnson will never forget that conversation. "All I could do was start praying," Johnson said. "I was in a mad panic, just trying to get to her." Moments later, Meloy received a phone call. "Paramedics told me she had a broken arm," she remembered. "I said, 'Thank you Jesus, it's just an arm.'" The concerned mother entered the hospital and made eye contact with her daughter. Both women broke down in tears and embraced. Johnson's husband ran to his injured wife. She suffered a broken wrist and minor injuries to her right ear. It has been more than one week since West Virginia's biggest vehicle accident. Grizzly pictures are a constant reminder of what could have been. "This makes me realize that God has a plan and purpose for her life - in accidents like this, some people still perish, Christians die, but when I see these minor injuries, it's like the Lord is saying, 'I got your back and have something greater for you,'" said Lane Kirby, Maranatha Benevolence Pastor Johnson's longtime friend. "The Lord felt He needed to show, 'I got your back and I'm watching out for you.'" Johnson's husband agreed. He, without a doubt, believes his wife was miraculously saved. "I look at pictures of her car and tell her, 'you're blessed - you shouldn't even be here right now,'" he said. "I believe God's hedge of protection was around them." Meloy shares the same sentiment when looking at pictures of a car that looks as if it had been to the crusher. "We could have had two funerals, but God said, 'Not yet,'" the joyful mother said. "The fact Abigail and Lina survived, and the fact that Lina only had a broken wrist requiring no surgery is another miracle." Kirby still gets choked up when looking at pictures of what used to
Escaping death - Lina Ryan and her daughter Abigail stand in front of the I-64 Bridge near Nitro. On June 6, the two were involved in the 38-vehicle pileup. According to authorities, no one died during what is being called "The Biggest Crash in State History." Photo by Justin Waybright be her friend's car. "It's hard for me to look at that car- just knowing that in the blink of an eye she could've been gone," she said. "You can look at the car and realize God looked out for her." Kirby continued, "Miracles still happen." Meloy remembered hearing stories of bystanders, seeing an angel standing near the wrecked cars that evening. No pictures have been taken to show this, but many agree something or someone was with the 38 drivers June 6. Johnson is confident, without a shadow of doubt, that Heaven touched Earth at the interstate bridge. "When you are someone who needs facts to believe - me knowing what should've happened with this impact - that was definitely God's hand over our car," she said. Since the accident, Johnson and the others involved, recover from injuries while local police officers continue mountains of paperwork. Nitro Police Chief Brian Oxley hopes the major pileup will cause
drivers to be cautious and slow down, especially in inclement conditions. Oxley and his police department have a message for area drivers: · Speed limits are set for perfect environments · Add rain or snow to the environment, and you need to back off speed and create a larger area between you and the vehicle in front of you · Pay attention to surroundings · Lose distractions like cell phones · Look ahead Oxley and his officers continue their investigation into the pileup. In all his years of law enforcement, the police chief has never seen a crash like this in West Virginia. Of the 38 vehicles involved, 28 passengers were injured, according to incident reports. Johnson and the Nitro Police Department thank every firefighter, officer,deputy,trooper and EMS worker that responded to the crash. The cause of the wreck remains unknown.

Governor Tomblin: WV honored with 2013 Silver Shovel Award CHARLESTON, WV - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin recently announced Area Development, a leading publication covering site selection and facility planning, has honored West Virginia with a 2013 Silver Shovel award. The award is presented in recognition of states that have achieved significant success in terms of economic impact and jobs creation. "This award is a testament to the many pro-growth reformsfrom workers compensation reform to the Horizontal Well Act-that our state has undertaken to encourage new and existing businesses to expand their roots in our state," Gov. Tomblin said. This marks the first time in the award's eight-year history that West Virginia has received the Silver Shovel designation. Area Development invited each of the 50 states to submit information on its top 10 projects that began in 2012. The Shovel Awards were given to the states with the highest weighted scores based on number of highvalue-added jobs per capita, amount of investment, number of new facilities, and industry diversity. States competed against other states of comparable population size. West Virginia qualified for a Silver Shovel award in the fewer than 3 million population category. "The states receiving 2013 Shovel Awards deserve special recognition for their efforts to attract new businesses and to help their existing corporate citizens to expand their businesses," said Geraldine Gambale, editor of Area Development. "They have managed to thrive and emerge from the recession as economic leaders."

The fireman started his career in serving area residents at Green Valley Fire Department in 1987. The love of helping others and the strong bonds among firefighters continue to draw Frazier. "It's the satisfaction when you're called upon to help people, to stop their problems and to do what your training teaches you to do," he explained. "I also like the camaraderie - this is a whole different family - everybody looks after each other." Across from Frazier sat a row of custom cars. Rich Miller's black, 1987 Chevrolet El Camino grabbed the attention of many
bystanders. The Ona resident was proud to support the fire department and show off his immaculate machine. "This is a unique car and it's a good feeling to take it to shows all over," said Miller. Later in the day, Frazier took children through a mock fire scene in the department's safety trailer. A smoke alarm rang as a thick cloud puffed through the room. "Stay low, get outside as fast as you can and don't go back," he told the boys and girls. Mike and Theresa Koon watched their three children Leah, Laney and JD crawl out of the smoky trailer.

Three Cabell County Teachers earn National Board Certification STAFF REPORT CHARLESTON - Three Cabell County teachers earned National Board Certification for 2012, the highest credential in the teaching profession. Rebecca L. Harden, Teresa Kay Hatfield and Kathleen Cook Turner were among only 61 West Virginia teachers who earned the certification in 2012. The teachers were honored for their achievement at a dinner Wednesday, June 13, in Charleston. The new additions increase the number of National Board Certified Teachers in West Virginia schools to nearly 700. "National Board Certified Teachers have demonstrated they know how to bridge the gap between what students learn today and what they need to know to be successful in college and careers," said state schools Superintendent Jim Phares. "Teachers who receive the national certification are clearly among America's best. They not only have proven they
know their subject matter, but also have provided evidence they know how to effectively teach their subjects to students." Across the country, 102,237 of the nation's most effective teachers have demonstrated that they meet the highest teaching standards by becoming National Board Certified. In West Virginia, Wood County has the most National Board Certified Teachers with 82, followed by Cabell with 56; Berkeley and Monongalia, 44; and Putnam, 32. Founded in 1987, the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is an independent, non-profit, non-partinon-governmental san, organization. Its mission is to establish high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do. National Board Certification is a voluntary assessment program designed to recognize and reward great teachers.
