CABELL FROM PAGE 1 is the one I wanted from the beginning.”

Last year, EMS answered more than 30,000 calls, the bulk of which originated in the Barboursville and Pea Ridge areas.

Now, first responders will be able to cut down crucial moments in their rescue operations.

“It did have about an eight-to10-minute response time, but this will make response must faster,” said Merry.

Cabell County Sheriff Tom McComas is pleased to have the new station. He believes it will help deputies and paramedics better serve residents.

“To have ambulances throughout the county ensures a quick response time,” said McComas.

“All the planning is designed to serve citizens the best we can.”

The sheriff will use space at the EMS station to house his new 40-foot-long mobile command post. The high-tech mobile police station is used to provide aid to surrounding counties in the Tri-State area.

From multiple cameras, to a state-of-the-art communications system, the $600,000 vehicle is one McComas is proud to park at the EMS station.

“We looked at several sites, but I think this is the best one,” said Turman. “It’s close to the assisted living and Route 60.”

The mayor continued, “The council and I are very pleased to have it.”

Cabell County Commissioners Nancy Cartmill, Bob Bailey and Anne Yon showed joy while they spoke about Merry and the new EMS station.

“We know now we have enough stations to cover the county, and response time will be wonderful,” said Cartmill.

“This is the biggest one we’ve

ever built.”

Bailey has seen five EMS stations built during his time serving the county.

“I’m proud of this one - it’s a tribute to those who had vision,” he said. “No one needed this more than Barboursville and East and West Pea Ridge.”

After commissioners spoke, Murray welcomed Merry to the stage. As he walked toward the microphone, a standing applause from the crowd greeted him.

By Mary Jane “JUNE GRADUATIONS” Thought for the week: Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou as example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. 1 Timothy 4: 12 (KJV) This past week, while eating out, I met the granddaughter of my first grade teacher. As we talked, she mentioned, did her grandmother read us the book, "Little Brown KoKo’’, while in school? Yes, do I ever remember I loved the stories so much that I named my own little brown puppy “Coco." She mentioned that was always a legacy of her grandmother and she still had the book. The stories were about the shortest little brown boy named KoKo and his dog Shoog which could not be read in classrooms today, due to politically inlanguage and correct illustrations.

My first four years of school was a wonderful teacher, Mrs. Lambert, a woman who enjoyed being one on one with each student. She taught and helped in many ways. In the early Fall and Spring months most classroom time was spent outdoors, since this was a rural school. She called them learning hikes. We trekked through the woods and hills surrounding the school; learning more on those walks about life, nature, and friendship than most learn in a the week, with your

head in a book.

A close knit group of less than 20 students - consisting of grades 1 thru 6 who knew each other’s parents, brothers and sisters; attended church together; knowing the gossip and wellbeing of all.

Today, preschool-age children start out on the computer, learning more than the parents knew when they were in the high school class group. The multiplication table is replaced with a calculator, as with other improved learning skills.

Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; and with all thy getting get understanding. Proverbs 4; 7 Usually you spend the entire 12 years of school with the same classmates. Upon graduation you may never see them again - that’s why class reunions are good. We all can’t become lawyers, or CEOs of companies - but, most of us do acquire the most important jobs of all, of bringing up the next generation to be better than what we were!

The first graduation was in 1478 - Lionel Woodville was honored at Oxford for an honorary historian degree.

Then in 1912 the U.S. naval academy was the first to toss their caps into the air to signify they would be wearing new caps.

Today, it is a tradition carried on.

I suppose it means we are going out into the world with the future

The Cabell Standard ahead, with more wisdom.

If you do become well known in life, you are asked to come back to your alma mater, to speak at the future graduating ceremonies. Such as last week, former president Bill Clinton received 17,000 to speak at his Florida A&M. However, not all charge to speak.

Michelle Obama has spoken at many commencement ceremonies, such as recently at Eastern KY. She was compensated with her stay there, as well as other gratuities.

So if you are graduating from preschool, middle school, high school, or college it is a special time in life you will never forget.

Enjoy this time, and remember that God is with you at all these special occasions and your future also.

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. Proverbs 9:10.

We learn each day of our life, something; we become more knowledgeable with each passing day.

He that getteth wisdom loveth his own soul; he that understands shall find good. Proverbs 19:8 Doing for others, not seeking anything in return is far more than all acquired wealth. You cannot purchase heartfelt feelings.

There is gold, and a multitude of rubies; but the lips of knowledge are a precious jewel.

Proverbs 20:15 Prayer: Thank you Lord, for giving us wisdom, may we use it to your honor. Amen.

By Velma Kitchens BIRTH CERTIFICATE Getting my driver’s license renewed was a revelation to me. I had to have a certified copy of my birth certificate and all that other stuff to prove who I really am. I have always used a hospital birth certificate for all legal purposes since I have been born and then after I turned 18 my mother gave me my birth certificate. I found out that the hospital birth certificate is not good enough for the renewing of my driver’s license. I had to contact the Bureau of Vital Statistics in Charleston, send them money and then they mailed me a beautiful birth certificate which I took to the very nice, patient, kind, caring people at the DMV. Don't laugh, you know how it is, and they are very busy and dealing with the public can be very stressful.

Once I did receive my birth certificate a very long mystery in my mind was solved. I have always felt I was a twin and that a part of me was missing. I even told my Mom and she assured me she only gave birth to one child the day I was born. I did believe her, but my hospital birth certificate did not say that.

When I received my certified copy it did say “single birth”. I was satisfied that I was not a twin; I thought someone may have snatched my brother or sister, but not true. I have always had a big imagination and I would think about where the other half of me was. If nothing else good came of having to get a real birth certificate, the realization of being a single birth was worth it.

Anyway, I took all my documents to the DMV and was able to get a license and prove that I am who I really say I am after all these many years. I also learned that someone had been stealing the hospital birth certificates and using them for false identities and that is why a hospital birth certificate will not be enough for identification for the DMV. So maybe there is someone running around with my maiden name and born on the same day. Now what would the odds of that be?

The Cabell Standard

Another look at outdoorsman Crockett

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

(Continued from last week).

Last week, I discussed Davy Crockett's life up to the point where he became famous. The obvious conclusion, at least to me, is that he hadn't done anything worthy of being famous for. His childhood was nothing unusual for the South at the time. His congressional career really wasn't that remarkable, except for the fact he was man enough to stand up to President Andrew Jackson.

His opposition to Jackson is often cited for killing his political career. Had he stayed in office, he could well have become the Robert C. Byrd of his time, and like Byrd, have more stuff named after him than Saddam Hussein did.

Jackson did bring the full force of his political machine against Crockett, but Crockett, when he should have been campaigning in

Tennessee, was back east on a book tour.

So, his political career didn't amount to much either, in the end.

But he was the kind of man who could captivate any audience. He was a master of wit. He was an incredible violinist. He was a Freemason.

I've been looking for a picture of Crockett's Masonic apron – people had beautiful hand-painted aprons in those days – but have been unable to find one anywhere. His apron survives today, but I've not been able to find any pictures of it to see. You can find pictures of Meriwether Lewis' apron all over the Internet, although Lewis' apron – kept under the very keen eye of the Grand Lodge of Montana – is evidence in a possible assassination (the apron was in his pocket when he was shot and has blood on it).

Crockett was a legend in his own time, with all these incredible exploits (written by others) about his life. He set the record straight with his autobiography and if you read it, you'll see nothing really worthy of being really famous for.

Even his attributes we admire were not that uncommon of men during his time, with the exception of his wit.

Here is a man who during his life is famous for absolutely nothing. I hate to compare him to Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton, but there were a lot of similarities in media treatment.

After Crockett lost his Congressional seat, he went to Texas. He planned to get some land down

there for his family and start a new life. When he got as far west as Little Rock, Ark., hundreds of people flocked in to gawk at him. He was a larger-than-life media icon.

Imagine if word got around that Sean Connery was going to hang out and eat some hot dogs at Tami's diner in Frazier's Bottom.

Imagine all the people who would crowd around wanting autographs, etc. Poor Sean Connery would never be able to eat those hot dogs in peace.

It was just like that. As soon as Crockett – who had an entourage got into town, it was in the newspapers. They had a dinner in his honor and everybody showed up to gawk or ask questions.

There are some who say that Crockett got sucked in the war as a victim of war-frenzied peer pressure. I believe the most plausible reason is Texas military service would give him precisely what he went to Texas for in the first place – land.

Crockett and his entourage of 65, signed up as soon as they arrived in Texas in January, 1836.

Their payment would be 4,500 acres of land.

You might think that somebody like David Crockett could just plop down a bank roll and buy whatever they wanted, but that wasn't the case. One thing that always amazes me about the 18th and early 19th centuries – with the exception of some astute businessmen like George Washington – rich people were always broke and bumming money from one another.

In fact, Crockett sold some re-

ally nice rifles to raise some cash when he got to Texas.

Two weeks later, he arrived at the Alamo. Two weeks after that, the Mexican army arrived.

During the siege, Crockett and his men – who were the best shots and the best-armed men at the Alamo, did most of the firing.

On March 4, two days before the Alamo fell, Crockett left the Alamo. He went out with two other men to find reinforcements and bring them back to the mission-turned-fort. They sneaked past the Mexican army and were miles away when they found the reinforcements. Miles away from what must have seemed like an inevitable death at the Alamo. He could have just slipped away in the darkness. But he didn't. He came back. At that moment, he earned his legend.

I read or hear people say that the Alamo defenders must have been insane to think 180 people could take on the entire Mexican Army. I can't say how they felt or what they thought, but I can perhaps provide some insight into what they might have been thinking from my grandfather's experience in the Battle of Outpost Harry in 1953.

The Alamo defenders were outnumbered 20-to-one. At Outpost Harry, the American defenders were outnumbered 83 to 1. I don't think grandpa ever knew that he and the 180 or so others in Able Company, Fifth Regimental Combat team were attacked by 15,000 Chinese that night. Unlike the Alamo defenders, they held onto their fort, despite the odds, which

never really occurred to them at the time. Odds calculations are for the historians. All he knew was that it was one hell of a fight.

When the Alamo fell, Crockett's group was the last to be caught out in the open. They were the last to fight and the last to die.

There's a Mexican account of Crockett surrendering and then being executed by sword.

There is a story told by a slave who survived that Crockett died with 16 Mexican corpses piled around him and his knife buried to the hilt in the chest of the last Mexican he killed before he himself died. That's the generally-accepted account. Certainly any retelling of the Alamo battle that doesn't have David Crockett dying plunging his knife into the heart of a Mexican soldier, then breathing his dying breath, with both middle fingers thrust skyward at Santa Anna himself is, in Texas, akin to spitting on the Texas flag.

To me, both those accounts seem fabricated. All we can say for sure is that he certainly did go down fighting.

The media of his day built him up into this media figure, a complete fabrication of a man no flesh-and-blood person could live up to.

Yet, when he died, he filled those shoes. That is the most incredible part of David Crockett.

He didn't kill a bear at three years old. He could not catch a bullet in his teeth. He did none of those things, but his service in the Texas Revolution is so remarkable – that is where he earned his place in the pantheon of American heroes.

Last year, I was driving on I-77 in Wood County. A deer crossed my side of the interstate about a half mile in front of me (mind you all of this happened in about 15 seconds). It was about to collide with a semi, but the deer turned and ran alongside the semi. For some reason it jumped to the side and bounced off the semi trailer.

When it landed, its legs spread out to the sides. A rear leg got caught by a tire, which pulled the deer's body under the tire. Who knows how many thousands of pounds of pressure was on that tire? There was a cloud of white about three feet high and a cloud of red that went as high as about three feet below the top of the trailer (which was probably about 14 feet high). On my return trip, I paid close attention as I passed.

There was only a half a deer there.

Now, a bear? That really must have been something to see.

I've been a fishing a lot in Pocahontas County lately. There

have been some great mayfly hatches recently. Last Thursday, the hatch on Knapps Creek was so thick that when I drove into it, I thought I was in a downpour until I reasoned, it was hex flies, not rain, hitting my windshield.

If you are driving along a stream that you are about to fish, you can get a good idea what is hatching by noticing which bugs hit your windshield.

I've never seen one, but I've heard of albino deer. I've seen pictures of them. What I've never heard of is a white deer that wasn't albino. However, I saw one in an undisclosed location in Pocahontas County just last week. It was solid white from the front shoulder back, with a large brown spot on its left side. The head and neck were brown. The doe was certainly the strangest deer I'd ever seen.

Outdoors Roundup A German Angler caught a 427-pound halibut in the Barents Sea, off the coast of Norway recently. When you hear “off the coast of Norway” you usually think North Sea, but this was way, way up North up in the Arctic Ocean (the Barents Sea is an offshoot of it. It's about as close to the North Pole as you can fish).

It took Christian Johannsen, 45, of North Friesland, Germany, four hours and help of two fishing buddies to land the eight-foot-

long, 427 pound fish. He said he couldn't lift his arms for two days.

He did take the fish back home for consumption. I would surely have eaten this fish, too, but Germans typically do eat about anything they catch. Catch and release, as hard as it is to believe, is generally illegal in Germany. I didn't believe it either at first, but it’s true.

I've been noticing some interesting roadkill lately. The most ironic was the vulture that was it-

self roadkill and being consumed by other vultures (when I thought about it, I realized I'd never seen that before). I saw a dead coyote near Catlettsburg, Ky, and another near South Point, Ohio. The most unusual was a bear, or I should say, half a bear on the West Virginia Turnpike near the old Memorial Tunnel. It was a large bear and only the front half of it was on the road. The rear half of the bear was gone.

So where was the rear half of that bear? I'm sure you've seen partial deer along the road. The head, neck, front shoulders and legs will be there, but the rest of the deer has seemingly vanished.

I wondered about this for years and had no idea until last summer when I saw it happen.

What happens is hard to believe and I myself might not have believed it had I not seen it with my own eyes.

The deer, strange as it sounds, explode.

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, fuel-powered 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 symptoms to appear. Call the West Virginia Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222 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.

The WVPC is staffed by nurses, pharmacists and physicians with special training in treatment of poisonings. Located in Charleston,

WV, the WVPC is a part of the West Virginia University-Charleston Division. Toll-free:1-800-222-1222.
