For The Cabell Standard

The Cabell County School Board unanimously approved the proposed school calendar as well as the proposed levy rates.

The approved 2014 - 2015 calendar will be sent to the West Virginia Board of Education for approval, and includes an Aug. 6 start date and a May 28 end date.

Despite some criticism during the public hearings of the early start date, the board decided to accept the calendar on the basis of Assistant Superintendent Dr. Jeff Smith's research, which showed that a full week of Thanksgiving Break as well as a full two weeks of Christmas Break will lead to less absences for both students and faculty that have historically occurred in the days prior to the holiday.

"It demonstrated some cost and attendance issues for students and staff when you had school before holidays," said Suzanne Oxley, school board president. "This was also the number one choice of the faculty."

The 2014 informational campaign was also discussed at the meeting. Jedd Flowers, director of communications, presented the marketing campaign for next year, which includes television advertisements, a website update and a new logo.

"Marketing is very important to a school system because it tells people who you are and what you're about," Flowers said in the last school board meeting before SEE BOARD ON PAGE 4

Midland hangs tough for 3 quarters

By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com

CHARLESTON – Despite it being their first time under the bright lights of the Civic Center, the Cabell Midland Lady Knights weren’t satisfied to be in the large shadow cast by No. 2 Greenbrier East.

The inexperienced No. 7 seed gave the Lady Spartans all they wanted – and more – for three quarters March 12 in the first round of the Class AAA state tournament. Cabell Midland led 2320 at halftime and 35-34 heading into the final quarter.

Ultimately, however, Greenbrier East turned up the heat and pulled out a hard-fought 48-38 victory.

“I thought the girls played a great game,” Midland Coach Matt Adkins said. “Through three quarters we led most of the game. The SEE MIDLAND ON PAGES 8-9

Community comes together for young boy with cancer

Memorial fund-raiser planned

Courageous.

Independent.

Smart. Inspiring. Funny.

These are just some of the words friends used to describe Tracy Dale Evans, a six year old boy living with Medullomyoblastoma, a rare form of brain cancer with a despairingly short survival rate. Tracy was diagnosed in June of 2012, and after a brief period of remission, relapsed in October 2013.

Last week, Tracy stopped chemotherapy treatments. The SEE BOY ON PAGE 7

Putnam County was actually a

border county, in a border state.

This meant that geographically the county was near the dividing line between the North and South. Neighbors, friends and even families were divided over the deep issues.

The area became a scene of wild excitement and great confusion. Issues were argued, tempers flared and young men left home

Landfill stops taking tainted water

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com

The DSI Landfill in Hurricane stopped accepting tankers of water tainted with MCHM from Freedom Industries after the city of Hurricane served the company legal papers, Hurricane Mayor Scott Edwards said. “(On Friday) DSI was served legal papers advising them of the injunction that will be filed first thing Monday in the Circuit Court of Putnam County, which was required prior to the hearing,” Edwards posted on his Facebook page. “I'm hopeful that the Court will approve the injunction to keep this from continuing.”

Before the court had the change to intervene, however, Waste Management announced Saturday it would cease taking any additional MCHM waste at the DSI Landfill in Hurricane.

“We understand the sensitivity of this issue and we want to alleviate any concerns that residents of Hurricane may have regarding the disposition of this material,” Lisa Kardell, director of public affairs for Waste Management, said in a prepared statement. “As always, Waste Management and the DSI Landfill are committed to being both a good corporate neighbor and community partner.”

Edwards said the announcement about DSI halting the tankers from Freedom Industries came about because of the efforts by city, county and state officials as well as residents.

“This is due to the overwhelming public outcry, the thousands of phone calls you made, the emails you sent, the Facebook messages you left for them, the comments you made, the help from our Senators, Delegates, Putnam County Commissioners and all the others that got behind us to stop this from continuing to enter our community,” Edwards said. “I thank everyone for their

efforts as we stood up together.”

About five weeks ago the DSI Landfill received approval from the West Virginia West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection to accept tankers of water tainted with MCHM from Freedom Industries.

“I’m irritated that the city did not get notified that this chemical was being dumped within city limits,” Edwards said. “There are landfills in this country that accept hazardous waste. This material should be considered hazardous and taken elsewhere.

“There are a lot of things we don’t know about this chemical.”

Amanda Marks, public affairs officer for Waste Management operations in West Virginia issued the following statement last week after officials made the discovery.

“We certainly recognize the sensitivities and want to assure everyone that the waste coming into DSI Landfill is non-hazardous,” she said. “The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) approves the waste stream which comes into Waste Management's DSI Landfill and DSI Landfill is only accepting waste in accordance with its permit.

“The WVDEP has determined the waste in question that is currently being taken in at our DSI landfill is not by definition a hazardous product. We will continue to utilize best practices to ensure there is no potential harm to the environment or the community in which we operate.”

Edwards estimates that the landfill accepted about 50,000 gallons over the past five weeks.

“A lot of people have been calling saying they smelled black licorice,” he said. “They should have to report something like this to the city.”

Brian Donat, administrator for Putnam County, said that Frank Chapman, director of the Putnam County Office of Emergency

KINNARD FROM PAGE 1 have a chili and cornbread lunch from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, March 29. There is no charge for the lunch, but the VFW will be collecting donations for the me-

morial.

A full story about the VFW’s efforts and the memorial will be in the March 27 edition of The Cabell Standard.

The DSI Landfill in Hurricane ceased its acceptance of tankers of water tainted with MCHM over the weekend.

Management, and commissioners worked with the city of Hurricane during the incident.

“We are continuing to examine options to make sure that is the case,” Donat said of the cessation

by DSI Landfill. “We want to make sure the residents are protected.”

According to a statement the DEP issued to Chapman, “the WVDEP Division of Water and Waste Management approved DSI’s request last month for a Minor Permit Modification to accept the wastewater. DSI can accept the material until October of 2014.

“Inspectors from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Air Quality (DAQ) responded to “licorice” odor complaints on Wednesday, March 12, regarding the Disposal Services Inc. (DSI) landfill on Route 34 in Hurricane,” Tom Aluise, spokesman for WVDEP wrote. “It was determined the odor was associated with the approved disposal of solidified wastewater that is being transferred by Freedom Industries from its Poca Blending facility in Nitro to DSI. A portion of the wastewater collected from the

Freedom Industries’ spill site on the Kanawha River is being stored at Poca Blending and contains some amounts of MCHM. “The Division of Air Quality did not issue an odor violation to DSI as a result of its investigation.”

Aluise wrote that “before being deposited into the landfill, the wastewater is mixed with saw dust to create a solid material.

The DSI landfill is lined and equipped with a leak detection system and groundwater monitoring wells. All leachate collected from the landfill is sent to a wastewater treatment facility prior to discharge.”

Edwards said this worries him.

He is talking with the city’s chemist and state officials about testing the water at the wastewater treatment plant.

“All of our water from that plant goes into Hurricane Creek,” he said. “The Centers for Disease Control doesn’t show it as a hazardous waste material but look at what we just went through and that was in a river. How much is it diluted? What else don’t we know?”

On Jan. 9 the state issued a do not use water alert for 300,000 customers of West Virginia American Water Co. after about 7,500 gallons of MCHM leaked from a Freedom Industries tank into the Elk River.

The governor’s office quickly declared a state of emergency in the nine affected counties, including parts of Putnam County, for 50 days.

Commentary

Commission discusses grants

By Brian Harper For The Cabell Standard

Three grants that involve funding for community projects and programs were among the focal points of the Cabell County Commission.

Commissioners discussed the county’s Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program.

The program is designed to enhance the quality of life in communities.

In Cabell County this grant provides funding in the amount of $111,500 for the continued salaries of two deputies for the Cabell County Sheriff’s Department, a deputy for the Barboursville Police Department and the prosecuting attorney for the Drug Task Force in the county’s Prosecuting Attorney’s office.

“This is an ongoing grant,” said Commission President Nancy Cartmill. “We budget that in their budget every year.”

The commission provides some funds for the grant with the remainder coming from the West Virginia Division of Justice and Community Service. The commission funds $9,293 for the Cabell County Prosecuting Attorney’s office, $18,582 for the Cabell County Sheriff’s Department, and $9,291 for the Barboursville Police Department.

Commissioners also discussed the two community participation grants that involved funding of $2,500 for improvements to the

Garrison House. The house needs stabilization work including the replacement of electric wiring, receptacles, switches, light boxes and the breaker box.

The grant has been submitted to the state and the county is awaiting approval.

During the March 13 meeting commissioners also discussed the county’s policy and procedures for the health, dental and vision benefits provided to full time county employees. Specifically, the Commission formalized the policy of the initiation period for new hires.

“There is an initiation period for new hires for the health insurance,” explained County Manager Chris Tatum. “They pay a certain premium for their first year of employment and then the premium amount drops to the regular employee contribution after the first year.

“With the dental and vision benefits, we are simply adding in and mirroring the health insurance in terms of the initiation period.”

New employees are responsible for 50 percent of the first year premiums for coverage, which are payroll deductible. With the policy in place, a flat fee of $25 for single coverage and $50 for family coverage will now be imposed, he said.

The next County Commission meeting will be held at 10 a.m.

Thursday, March 27 on the third floor of the Cabell County Courthouse.

Hurry, hurry - everyone is in a hurry. Get here, stop there, run errands, fix dinner, do the laundry, make phone calls, and… the list could go on and on.

We have all the modern conveniences but still we have no time to do the things we want to do. Should we all just slow down and take inventory of the most

important things, I am sure we could cut out a lot of nonsense stuff.

Back in the 70's Jim Croce wrote a song called “Time in a Bottle.” The song was about his son who was just a little boy at the time. He also was writing about his wife. We don't seem to have enough time. We all have 24 hours in a day and what we do

WeeklyDevotional

By Mary Jane “HE KNOWS YOU” Thought for the week: Psalm 139:15 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

As I write on this beautiful sunshine morning, you can smell spring in the air and feel at last the long winter finally has passed us. Soon the green sprigs of grass will appear and tiny leaves of green on the trees. With blossoms and blooms everywhere, the harsh winter will have left our memory in a distance. As a new season begins, it will be time to clean, fix up, repair and get busy with all those chores that old man winter left with us.

We plan and think from one minute to the next - some people plan weeks and months ahead others just live in the moment.

However we live, God says he knows your every thought.

Psalm 139:2 Thou knows my down sitting and mine uprising,

thou understandest my thoughts afar off.

This means that God is with us at all times. We are to trust in His presence. But I am just human and do not understand why bad things happen to good people.

Like the good doctor who has helped so many by using his talent and training to restore life thru surgery and medication, only to have God require his soul at such a considerably young age - leaving his young wife, family, and friends. A good God-fearing man.

What about all the young children who are kidnapped and brutally murdered? Wars that have left so many casualties over the years - only to read about after countries come to an agreement. Sudden car wrecks that take out young teens. So many other situations that leave us wondering why. I am sure I’m not the only one who has these thoughts. One thing for sure

The Cabell Standard with it is our choice. I would think that working full time takes up most of our time - as in the evenings there is so much to do.

Then get ready for the next day’s adventures. I guess the old timers were busy but most of them lived and worked on the farms and were all together and each contributed to the family.

It is important that we instill in our children that they are a vital part of our family and we need them to keep things running around the house. Sometimes, on a snow day, whether on the weekend or through the week, we can get a lot done as we are snowed in! A snow-day sure does make us slow down a bit.

about the how and why we leave this world, Jesus says in John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death unto life.

I believe God does understand and knows all that happens - the good and the bad - we are here for such a short lifespan on his earth.

We should not complain about His snow or any of His weather.

It may be so hot and humid this summer that we will welcome just a cold rain.

He balances it all out. In our minds, we soon recess thoughts of bad things that happen to us and replace it with the good He sends.

Now get out there and clean that shed out or paint that drab room a new color, like you were planning. Since daylight savings time is here, you have an extra hour to do it in.

The spring season is here at last - make each day a better one than the day before.

Prayer:We are so small in your sight God; help us to understand how big you are. Amen

BOARD FROM PAGE 1 Cabell County's Spring Break.

"Through the commercial we are communicating to people the things in our strategic plan."

The slogan for Cabell County Schools is "Realizing the Dream," a change from the current slogan of "Dedicated to Every Student."

"We've fulfilled the promises that we made in 2006," Flowers said. "We want people to know this is the plan for the future."

Part of the future plan will include a standard website for all county schools.

"What we're aiming for is simplicity - easy to navigate and easy to find information, especially essential information," Flowers

said. "What we're trying to do is bring consistency."

All county schools will be given a standard website, which will then be customized with their school colors and mascot. The website will be easy to update so school administrations can do it themselves, but also easy to monitor from central office.

"This way, we'll be doing cohesive, consistent type messaging," Flowers said.

As they continue to develop the website, the new television campaign is airing in time for the scheduled excess levy vote, which will be voted on in the May primary election. In a special meet-

ing prior to the regular board meeting, the board unanimously approved the proposed levy rates.

The tax rate is decreasing compared to previous years due to the increasing value of property in the county.

"The important thing to the county is that our values have gone up so our corresponding tax revenue is higher," said Jody Lucas, treasurer.

He said that this means the school system will be able to get the same amount of money with a smaller percentage in taxes.

The primary election is May 13, 2014. Early voting will begin April 30.

Huntington Food Bank fights hunger

Max & Erma’s hosts Monday fundraisers for Cabell Huntington Hospital

Nearly 5,500 people in Putnam County are hungry today and don’t know where their next meal will come from. Hunger is a genuine and often silent problem in the community, according to the Huntington Area Foodbank.

Residents can help make a difference by participating in Dine Out Putnam at Fireside Grille from between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Thursday, March 27. A portion of the night’s proceeds will benefit the Huntington Area Food Bank’s active efforts in Putnam County to provide food to hungry children, seniors and families.

Huntington Area Food Bank is a 501(c) 3 charity affiliated with Feeding America, the country’s largest hunger relief organization.

In Putnam County, they work with five agencies and last year provided 173,460 meals to hungry neighbors in need. The organization plans to do even more in 2014.

On a broader scale, Huntington Area Food Bank serves nearly 200 agencies in 17 West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio counties and has a 4-star rating with Charity Navigator for its sound fiscal management. It is one of only two West Virginia charities and the only charity in our region to have received this distinctive rating.

Children’s author, Sally Koch, said it best. “Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.” Please take advantage of the opportunity that Fireside Grill is making available to benefit Huntington Area Food Bank recipients this March 27. Enjoy a great meal knowing that you are giving a gift that will fight hunger right here in our own Putnam County home.

The Huntington location of Max & Erma’s restaurant will donate 20 percent of a patron’s bill on the first Monday of each month to the Hoops Family Children’s Hospital at Cabell Huntington Hospital.

Christian's Sports Beat: Safe and sound sporting events

By: Christian Deiss

When you are at a sporting event, the last thing you want to worry about is not feeling protected or safe. There are a few big events in West Virginia that are carefully planned to make sure that fans have a good time and feel secure.

The West Virginia State Police on many occasions help event coordinators plan how to handle the large crowds attending games. I wanted to know how security is handled at sporting events so I contacted Lt. Michael Baylous of Hurricane and Public Information Officer for the West

Virginia State Police, “Since you have such a large number of people at most events we assist with and most of them are good people, but there are some people that cause problems and they are the ones who make it hard for everyone else to enjoy themselves.” Baylous works on the sidelines at football games in Morgantown and Huntington during WVU and Marshall games.

There is a lot of planning that goes into sporting events that fans never know about and really don’t need to know. Baylous explained how the State Police gets involved from the beginning, “We currently have contracts with West Virginia and Marshall Universities, in-which we work at all of their football games and some of their basketball games.

University officials tell us where the need is and then we decide what the staff should be and where they should be deployed.

We look at how big a crowd is going to be at the game and how big a contest it is, like a WVU versus Marshall game, to decide how many troopers we send to

Homeowners get relief from flood insurance costs U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin announced the passage of the “Flood Insurance Reform Act,” which will eliminate increased flood insurance costs for some properties unintentionally caused by the Biggert-Waters Act. The legislation will suspend insurance premium increases for grandfathered rates, all new subsidized policies initiated after enactment of Biggert-Waters, and all subsidized properties sold after enactment of Biggert-Waters.

These provisions will allow homeowners to pass on their subsidized insurance policies to new owners when selling their home.

After the “Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act” passed the Senate on Jan. 30, the

House of Representatives worked with the Senate to develop a compromised bill that passed on March 4, by a vote of 306-91. Due to the bipartisan cooperation to fix this problem, the Senate adopted the House version, which passed by a vote of 72-22.

“At a time when many Americans are still struggling to pay the bills each month from a slowly recovering economy, it is unacceptable that hundreds of thousands of homeowners have faced unreasonable and unmanageable increases to their flood insurance premiums,” Manchin said. “I’m pleased that members of Congress from both chambers have come together to relieve hardworking American homeowners from these drastic rate increases.”

the event.” Baylous, is a 20-year veteran of the State Police and has worked over 50 games through his time on the force.

A fan came out of the stands and onto the court at a recent college basketball game in California and confronted the visiting coach. In that instance, two of the coach’s players separated the fan from the coach and persuaded him to return to his seat.

The fan was later arrested for his behavior. I think if a police officer had been around the coach, the situation would’ve been solved instantly. Baylous agreed, “One reason is just to keep them safe just in case somebody tries to come on the field or court like you mention. Besides protecting the coach at all times, the trooper that travels with the team also works with local authorities in whatever city the team is in to help coordinate logistics.”

In many cases the trooper that is with the coach has that responsibility throughout the season and sometimes for many seasons, so the trooper and coach are very familiar with each

Since I’m a runner, I was very upset with what happened at last year’s Boston Marathon when people were killed and injured by bombs placed near the finish line. When I compete in big running events I want to feel safe and I want to make sure my parents are also safe. So I asked Baylous if the State Police has talked about adding security at the larger running events across West Virginia, “We haven’t been approached yet to help with se-

Mountwest awarded funding for programs Mountwest Community & Technical College was recently awarded $430,000 in grant funding to start two new associate degree programs.

The Technical Program Development grants awarded to Mountwest by the Community & Technical College System of West Virginia will provide seed funding for new Associate of Applied Science degrees in Graphic Design ($220,000) and Veterinary Technology ($210,000) over the next three years.

Mountwest offered an Intro-

duction to Veterinary Technology course this semester as part of another grant. The College anticipates the full Veterinary Technology program to be available for the Fall 2014 semester, while the Graphic Design program will be available beginning with the Spring 2015 semester.

Voltz presents women of color Noel Voltz from the Ohio State University will speak at Marshall University Tuesday, March 25, regarding the experiences of free women of color in New Orleans in the 19th century prior to the Civil War. The event, titled “Would You Like to Dance?” will take place 7 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center, room 2W22, on Marshall’s Huntington campus.

“It’s a topic neglected by many historians due to its complicated nature,” said Dr. David Trowbridge, associate professor of history and director of the African and African American Studies program at Marshall. “At the same time, the topic helps to explore the meaning of freedom and slavery and seems especially relevant given the continued sexual commodification of women of color across the globe.”

The presentation is sponsored

by Marshall’s African and African American Studies program and College of Liberal Arts. It is free and open to the public.

Community members are encouraged to attend, Trowbridge said. For additional information, persons may contact Trowbridge by e-mail at david.trowbridge@marshall.edu.

people to see that we do pull together. People in Huntington do care about other people, and I just want them to see that there are people who care and support them."

John Buckland, owner of Heroes for Hire and known around town by his Batman alias, has been involved with the Evans family for months. He could barely hold back his tears as he told the crowd the story of how he met Tracy.

Batman was touring Cabell Huntington Hospital's Pediatric wing when Tracy came up to him with a box full of several hundred dollars. The money had been donated to Tracy and his family to assist with the costs of medical treatment, but Tracy told Batman that he had heard how Batman was helping kids in Huntington, and Tracy wanted him to have the

money so he could continue to help more kids.

"This was all the money that came in to Tracy Dale to save his life and he wants to give it to us to help these kids," John said, tears in his eyes. "It was the first time in my life that I felt like I was in front of Jesus himself."

In a private interview, John explained how he spends time with the family while in costume and tries to inspire the Evans family to keep on fighting.

"When Tracy sees the characters show up, it inspires him to know he's supported and it inspires him to fight even harder," John said. "When I spend this time with him, my goal is to show him what a hero he is, and at the same time give him even more strength to fight even more."

John said that spending time with Tracy helps give his family

piece of mind as well.

"It just takes their mind away from it," he said. "The family can have some really tough times seeing him struggle, but when he's playing with us, you see the little boy come back out. It's almost like for those times he's not even sick, he's just a little boy having fun again."

Batman spoke at Tracy's event on Saturday, as well as gave him and his sisters a ride in his "Batmobile."

Also at the event was Huntington Mayor Steve Williams, who pinned Tracy as an Honorary Mayor of Huntington.

"He needs to know the entire city is praying for him," Mayor Williams said afterwards. "This is Huntington. We always embrace our own. We're supportive and we're loving."

Addressing the crowd, John

told everyone that the only thing you take with you when you die is your legacy. For Tracy, his legacy is already impacting the community.

"We love that boy immensely," John said. "The main thing I trust and hope he understands is how much of a hero he is to us. We wouldn't be able to do what we're doing if it wasn't for what he gives us in return. We learn so much from watching him fight.

He's the reason we are what we are. I'll take that with me to my grave."

Donations for the Evans family can be sent to First Sentry Bank at 823 8th Street, Huntington WV, 25701. Checks should be addressed to First Sentry Bank with Attn: Mary Beth Sharp on the envelope and Tracy Dale on the memo line.

BOY FROM PAGE 1 treatments were no longer helping, so Tracy's family is helping him control the pain, and of course, praying.

Community members from all over Huntington came together on Saturday to show their support for Tracy and the Evans family as well as offer words of prayer and comfort.

"People are here for him," said Marsha Brumfield, friend of the family and organizer of Saturday's event. "I just want him to be a little happy before anything happens."

Marsha sprung into action after she saw her sister post on Facebook that Tracy would no longer be getting chemotherapy treatments.

"When I first started this, I saw my sister’s post and had an overwhelming feeling I had to do something," she said. "I want

MIDLAND FROM PAGE 1 fourth quarter we just couldn’t buy a basket. We got the shots we wanted, they just didn’t fall. It happened at the wrong time.

“It’s the first time a Midland team has been to a state tournament so it’s a big thrill. I just wish we could have played on Friday.”

For 24 minutes, that looked likely.

A balanced attack in the first half saw Sierra Jordan and Emily Pitkin score six points each, while Stephanie Bias had five and Haley Haggerty four. That extended through the third quarter with a one-point lead, but then the Lady Spartans got some easy baskets off their full-court press and the tide turned.

“I feel like we lost our momentum at some point,” Bias said. “It did kind of get in our heads because nobody was making anything. We all just got a little frazzled.”

Pitkin noted that just making it to Charleston was a significant accomplishment for the 18-7 Lady Knights.

Cabell Midland had to beat Spring Valley to get out of the sec-

tional semifinal.

“We beat Spring Valley, which no offense most reporters were saying nobody could touch them,” the senior said. “We just wanted to make it here. We got it.”

Midland lost a heartbreaker to Huntington in the sectional final, but a victory at St. Albans secured one of two tournament berths from arguably the toughest Class AAA region in the state.

“Going through our section and region is almost like the state tournament,” Adkins said. “Our section has four of the top 10 teams in the state battling. Any one of them could have been here. We battled to get here. I think that prepared us for our first half.”

“We’re a fighting team,” Bias added. “We just couldn’t pull it off this time.”

She said a rally at the school before the game really helped get the team ready, too.

“We were really pumped up,” she said. “We had a send off today, and only the football players have done that. They brought like seven busloads of kids. We

were pretty pumped.”

This year’s team featured the height and experience of the 6foot-2 Pitkin and 5-11 Jordan. Jordan had 10 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks in the tournament game.

Next year will be a much shorter order, with the 5-3 Haggerty the leading returning scorer.

Karlee Alderman (5-7) and Summer Stephenson (5-3) also will be back.

They plan to be back in Charleston as well.

“It was the first time we have been here, any of us on the team, so it was a new experience,” Stephenson said. “We just felt comfortable. (Next year) we won’t have as much size to us, but we’ll have good ball handling and shooting.”

Haggerty said summer workouts will be a key.

“At team camp we all get closer together,” she said. “We’ll work hard so we can play better.”

Adkins said he knows things will change some next season.

“They’ll be all right,” he said. “It will be a different scheme, but

Marshall University partners in clean water initiative Marshall University officials have announced the university will be partnering with the Charleston Area Alliance and others to create a center of innovation for water cleanliness and sustainability at the West Virginia Regional Technology Park in South Charleston.

The mission of the new West Virginia Water Sustainability Institute will be to develop and commercialize innovative technologies to maintain, improve and protect water supplies throughout the state.

Dr. John Maher, Marshall vice president for research, said the university is pleased to join the effort.

“The ultimate goal of the West Virginia Water Sustainability Institute is to harness the research assets of all the partners to make our water supply cleaner and safer, and to help industry innovate and create technologies that will support high-value jobs and

investments right here in West Virginia,” he said. “We have an active water research program already in place at Marshall with scientists who are studying how to detect contaminants in water, predict their toxicity and understand how to remove them from the environment. This new center will give us an opportunity to directly use that work to help protect our community and create a better regional economy.”

Maher said formation of the center is still in its early stages but that the institute will support the following types of research: * Commercializing technologies that reduce hazards to freshwater sources; * Commercializing technologies for rapid identification of water contamination; * Developing custom solutions to water quality and quantity issues; * Testing and evaluating technologies that maintain the in-

tegrity of the entire water distribution system; and * Providing independent assessments and reviews of potential hazards, technologies, contingency plans and related water quality issues.

In addition to Marshall and the Charleston Area Alliance, the partners in the initiative include the Charleston Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Chemical Alliance Zone, the West Virginia Regional Technology Park, West Virginia State University and the Mid-Atlantic Technology, Research & Innovation Center (MATRIC). Over the next several months, these groups will be working with government leaders, private supporters and the business community to get the institute up and running.

Pair of endowed funds focus on Modern Languages programs The Marshall University Foundation Inc. has established a pair of endowed funds in memory of the wife and in-laws of Dr. Del Kimbler, professor emeritus of industrial engineering at Clemson University.

The funds are called the Elisabeth Davidson Kimbler Award for Study Abroad, which honors Dr. Kimbler’s late wife, Elisabeth Kimbler, and the Maxine Garrett Feldmeier and Arthur Nelson Davidson Endowment Fund, which honors her parents.

Elisabeth Kimbler had always wanted to do something meaningful directed to students in higher education. When she passed away in October 2013, Del Kimbler decided to honor her wish.

Considering that her parents were Marshall graduates, and in fact met as students at Marshall College, he selected Marshall as the place. Given Art Davidson's interest in languages, Modern

Languages was selected as the program. The focus on Study Abroad comes from Beth Kimbler’s interest in languages and her belief in the importance of experiencing international culture.

The remainder of the endowment, named for her parents, will provide general assistance in support of Modern Languages academic programs, especially in ways difficult to achieve through state funds.

The Feldmeier-Davidson fund is designed to provide program support to the Department of Modern Languages, to include, but not be limited to, books, films, equipment, conferences and travel. The dean of the College of Liberal Arts or his or her designee will make the purchase selections.

The Elisabeth Davidson Kimbler Award for Study Abroad will support students of the Department of Modern Languages with costs associated with Study Abroad, to include, but not be

The dean of the College of Liberal Arts or his or her designee will select the recipients.

“The College of Liberal Arts is profoundly grateful for Dr. Kimbler’s generosity,” said Dr. R.B.

The scholarship fund, endowed in Mrs. Kimbler’s name, will create many opportunities for Marshall students to study abroad, which is so important in the global economy today. Second language study is proven to promote critical thinking, creativity, and multicultural awareness, not to mention broader career opportunities. Thanks to Dr. Kimbler and his family, Marshall University students will realize those benefits more than ever.”

88-year-old Milton structure catches fire

Milton Volunteer Fire Department responded to a downtown fire on Monday afternoon. Barboursville and Ona Volunteer Fire Departments also provided mutual aid.

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com

A passerby helped save an 88year-old structure next to the Milton United Methodist Church.

“We caught it early enough that it didn’t do much damage,” Pastor Lynn Cartwright said. “Thank goodness it was during the daytime and someone saw it.”

The blaze at the education center next to the Milton United Methodist Church broke out about 2:45 p.m. Tuesday. Firefighters arrived on scene within minutes of receiving the call.

“When we arrived on scene

there was smoke coming from the roof of the building,” Cpt. Jason Chastain said. “We immediately called for Barboursville to bring their ladder truck and for Ona to bring a couple of tankers.”

Heavy smoke and flames were visible from the roof. The black smoke quickly caught the eye of Milton residents, who came out of homes and businesses to see what was going on.

Several Milton volunteer firefighters arrived at the scene in their personal vehicles and hurriedly put on gear ready to help.

In addition to the ladder truck Barboursville also brought two support vehicles.

Firefighters assessed the situation first from the outside, then entered the building and went up to the second floor. They quickly determined that they needed to fight the fire from the roof. Ladders were carried into the education center, taken out a window and placed on the short roof of the building next door.

The second floor of the education center has five classrooms, with the 4-H room being directly under where the fire occurred.

Although the flames were extinguished immediately using water, firefighters remained on scene using an infrared camera to make sure no fire was hidden under the roof, Chastain said.

“The interior has minor smoke and water damage,” he said.

Cartwright said the speakers for the church bells are on the roof of the education center.

“We think it was one of the speakers that caught on fire,” she said.

The Cabell County Sheriff Department, the City of Milton Police Department, Cabell County EMS and state police also responded to the fire.

Firefighters set up a ladder on a roof of the building next door so that they could fight the fire from above.

Firefighters arrived on scene within minutes of receiving the call. The fire was out within 15 minutes of arriving on scene.
