Since 1979 the BYF "Teens" of Olive Missionary Baptist Church, 6286 Little Seven Mile Road, have been holding a yearly "Rock-a-thon." This tradition began as a result of listening to a Gideon speaker who told of the need for Bibles or Testaments for teens overseas. That first year, under the leadership of David and Monna Smith, the "Teens" raised over $1,500.00 to be used by the Gideons for purchasing Bibles
SEE ART ON PAGE 3
Teens present money to Gideons for purchase of Bibles/Testaments and/or Testaments. During this year's Rock-athon, a total of $1,722.00 was collected and presented to Gideon member, Aaron Smith. With this amount of money, 2,154 New Testaments can be purchased. According to a representative of the Gideons, this is the only known group to hold such an event. Russ Browning is the current youth pastor.

Every Day Should be Earth Day Earth day is the day we all look at ways we can reduce our carbon footprint. 20% of all greenhouse gases come from automobiles, so it makes sense to start there. The rising gas prices are causing many people to buy a more fuel efficient vehicle. That is a good thing, not just for the economy. Newer vehicles get better gas mileage and produce less toxic emissions. Anyone buying a new vehicle should consider donating their older one to charity. The charity will either fix the car so that it is road worthy and passes emissions tests or make sure it is completely recycled. The money it gets will be used to further its mission. Anyone not replacing their car can still help the environment by making it greener. Keeping it tuned up, the tires inflated and changing the air filter often will produce up to a 25% improvement in gas mileage. A less toxic anti-freeze is now available that is 65% less toxic. New life-time wiper blades are available that are not made from petroleum based rubber. They are 100% recyclable. There are many non-toxic cleaning products for both the outside and interior of the car. While Earth Day is a good day to concentrate on cleaning up and protecting the environment, it is a practice that should be continued everyday of the year.

Disney fame. While dreary weather kept many away this year, the event has been growing since its inception six years ago. Organizers say it's become a regional draw, attracting not just young princesses from Putnam County, but outlying counties as well as Ohio and Kentucky. Some have even attended from as far away as Virginia and Georgia. The princesses and their entourages of family lined up at the door and were greeted by a fairy godmother, Karen Haynes, who organizes the event. “We're having a party regardless of rain or shine. Every girl needs a chance to be a princess for a day,” she said. The princesses and princes available for meeting and photo opportunities represented many of the
post popular of Disney fame, including Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty (who had apparently been previously awakened), Jasmine, Pocahontas, Ariel and Tinkerbell. Haynes said last year more than a thousand children attended the event. With parents and guardians for each, it makes for a very large event. After a photo opportunity with the fairy godmother – who could make dreams of meeting various Disney Princesses in person come true – the children traveled from one member of Disney Royalty to another. While rainy weather didn't permit the planned flying-carpet simulator, children were able to color, decorate crowns and enjoy refreshments. Huntington resident Linda
Blankenship brought her threeyear-old princess Riley, who was dressed as Snow White. “This is our first year here. It's been a really great experience for her,” she said. Duane Ruggier, 16-year-old Hurricane High School sophomore, filled the role of Prince Charming, complete with Disney-hero-princeinspired outfit. “All these little girls come up and ask me if I'm a real prince,” he said. He looked just as comfortable in his Prince Charming garb as in his football uniform. He certainly was a hit with the age 1-12 princess crowd. “I've really enjoyed the experience. I'll probably even borrow this outfit for prom,” he said, jokingly. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.

out the Southern District as United States Attorney Ambassadors for Justice,” Goodwin said. “These are students with a good ethical compass who would be willing to step forward and do something if one of their peers was making a self-destructive decision or bullying someone else.” Goodwin continued,“I am confident that they will take an active role in building and sustaining a dialogue. Their ideas and perspectives are invaluable toward rooting out current social issues and threats that jeopardize student achievement.” Goodwin said that his office is deeply concerned with solving issues affecting young people throughout the southern portion of
WestVirginia’s 23-county federal judicial district. “This isn't just an award and a title. My hope is that this will be the start of a mission for me, my office, our schools, our communities and for each of these Ambassadors for Justice so that together we can exert positive influences in our schools and communities,” said Goodwin. The U.S. Attorney’s Ambassador for Justice Program was created by Goodwin as a result of numerous reports of school bullying and social media threats involving young people. Nominations for the U.S. Attorney’s Ambassador for Justice Award were made by the principal and administrative leaders of the student’s respective school.

Commission opens proposals for New Ambulance Station in Barboursville By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
HUNTINGTON – The Cabell County Commission opened proposals at its April 26 meeting from four architectural firms to provide design services for a new emergency services ambulance station to be built in Barboursville. In March, the Commission approved $319,800 for the purchase of 2.4 acres of land in Barboursville to build the new ambulance station, and also voted to begin advertising for architectural services. The four firms who submitted proposals for the project were Thrasher Engineering of Clarksburg; Tucker Architects of Huntington; Brandstetter Carroll Inc. of Lexington, Ky.; and AE Works of Pittsburgh. After the proposals were opened, the Commission appointed a three person committee to meet with and interview the four architectural firms. The three members of the Commission are Commissioner Bob Bailey, County Manager Chris Tatum and Gordon Merry, director of Cabell County Emergency Services. Tatum said that he would like to schedule the interviews with

Merry said that he was excited that the project to build an emergency services ambulance station in Barboursville was moving along. He said that he remained hopeful that ground could be broken on the new station in the fall and that it would be open sometime in 2013, depending on how weather would affect construction.
Once completed, Merry said that he should not need to build any additional emergency services stations for the foreseeable future. With a new station in Milton completed within the last two years, Barboursville remains the biggest unaddressed area in the county, he has said. In addition to moving to interview the architectural firms, the county was set to close on the purchase of the land in Barboursville for the station on Monday, April 30. The property the county is acquiring for the station is on Riverview Drive in Barboursville.
The new emergency services ambulance station will be located on Riverview Drive in Barboursville. Officials hope to be able to break ground on the project by fall.

Commissioner Bailey had initially proposed $11,800 to go toward the project, but after debate commissioners approved $10,000 for the city for the project. Also at the April 26 meeting, commissioners approved the hiring of Solitare McAllister as a clerk in the Assessor's Office. Commissioners also approved the reclassification of William
Held to full-time paramedic; Sarah Adkins to full-time EMT; Wayne Handley to 24-hour shift; and Kelly Bradley to full-time EMT. Commissioners also approved the hiring of four early voting election clerks of the County Clerk's Office. The early voting clerks are Judy Mabe, Connie Pridemore, Anthony Clark and Reba Jane Morris. The next meeting of the Cabell County Commission will be Thursday, May 10, at 10 a.m. at the courthouse in Huntington.

Culloden Elementary renovations not funded by School Building Authority By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
CULLODEN – Cabell County School officials say they are disappointed that a proposed $4.7 million renovation of Culloden Elementary School was not among the projects selected for funding by the West Virginia School Building Authority last week. On Monday, April 23, the SBA announced approximately $38 million that it would invest in school construction projects in 13 West Virginia counties. In March, Cabell County Schools Superintendent William Smith had appeared before the SBA to ask for funds for the extensive renovations to Culloden Elementary. In all, 24 counties appeared before the SBA in March requesting funds totaling approximately $158 million. “We were disappointed that we were not included for funding,” said Cabell County Schools Director of Communications
The West Virginia School Building Authority announced last week that it did not select the renovation of Culloden Elementary School as one of the projects it would fund at this time. Cabell County School officials had asked the SBA for $4.7 million for extensive renovations to the school. Photo by Jack Bailey Jedd Flowers. “But we do understand that there were a lot of worthwhile projects requesting funds.” Flowers said that the project to renovate Culloden Elementary School received serious consideration from the SBA and that Cabell County School officials would take the project back be-
fore the SBA to seek funding again in the future. If the SBA had approved the requested $4.7 million in funds, Cabell County would have put an additional $2 million into the project. “We will go back before them,” Flowers said. “This project is at the top of our 10-year facilities

plan and we will continue to work on funding.” The proposed renovation of Culloden Elementary School would involve essentially tearing down and replacing the front part of the school, which was originally built in 1933. The older part of the school has had a lot of water issues, and
it also has an older heating system that needs to be replaced. Water damage in the front part of the school has forced the school to relocate its library to a portable building. Other upgrades as part of the renovation would have included new lighting and flooring. Replacing the oldest part of the school would also improve safety and security, while also making the entire school ADA compliant. While the renovation of the school was not funded at this time, Flowers said that Cabell County School officials have a good relationship with the SBA and appreciate all that has been done in the county in recent years. “SBA has done so much for us over the last several years, and has so many needed projects to fund statewide, we certainly understand their decision,” Flowers said. “We will continue to work on this project and will continue to seek funding for it in the future.”

Let's turn our Fly-tying Vices into Anvils of Freedom
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
About seven years ago Navy Lt. Joel Stewart had an incredible idea. Saddam Hussein had all these palaces around the country, all well-stocked with ornamental fish. Stewart, a Montana native, believed that any place fish could swim, people could learn to fish. Stewart founded the Baghdad School of Flyfishing at Camp Victory, Iraq to teach American and allied military personnel how to flyfish. However, he faced a seemingly-insurmountable
problem. Not only was Iraq war-torn, it was in a desert – certainly not a place where one would find flyfishing gear. He wasn't sure if he would ever be able to obtain gear, so when he posted the idea on an outdoors forum, he was shocked by the response. “I was hoping for a couple of old used loaner rods and ended up with over a dozen brand-new rods and a passel of reels, new and used,” he recalled. Over the next few years, the school held classes and taught many soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, contractors and Iraqi citizens the joy of flyfishing – in Saddam's former palace ponds (which were large and incredibly well stocked). The classes were open to anyone, regardless of rank – all they had to do was find an hour or two in their busy schedules. Stewart eventually returned to the U.S. Navy Lt. Commander Bill Jones took over the school. I'm not sure who took over after Jones. I'm not sure what happened to the school after that. I was an outdoors writer at the Parkersburg News and Sentinel at the time and I put out a call to readers to tie flies for the troops. We collected thousands of hand-tied fishing flies (we topped 1,000 well-tied flies in the first few months) – and mailed them to Iraq over the next couple of years. We collected flies from dozens of tiers and kept
the school supplied with not only as many flies as they could use – they went through flies like crazy – but enough that students of the eight-week-class could have their own box of flies upon graduation. Many of those flies came from readers. Some came from folks on the Wvangler.com Internet message board. Of all those people, however, no one tied more flies for the war that Williard McCroskey. McCroskey was 90 at the time, a Richwood native living in Tennessee. He grew up in a River-Runs-ThroughIt-type life, with flyfishing being the ultimate earthly experience for the body and soul. As this elderly man, with failing eyesight and fingers that didn't work as well as they once had, tied these flies, it was a way for him to give a new generation of heroes something he never had. As World War II drew to its conclusion, McCroskey sat by Alpine streams teeming with monster trout – and he was 3,000 miles away from his fishing tackle. He knew what it was like to be in a war far from home and not being able to fish. Fly-fishing was a release he wished he could have had in his war. It was a gift he gave to so many serving in Iraq. Jones told me at the time, via e-mail, that the school had to buy more boxes to
hold them all and his flies were welltied and perfect in color and proportion. McCroskey's daughter told me that his enthusiasm was an inspiration for those living in his senior-living community. He inspired many to collect items for care packages to ship overseas. He, and the many others who donated flies to that effort, certainly inspired me. I tied a small portion of those flies, though they paled in comparison to what McCroskey and others had sent. I lost track of the Baghdad School around 2008. I don't know if the school wasn't able to continue or not. Regardless, I'm sure it's gone now, although the Web site is still up at www.baghdadflyfishing.com. While those who served have sacrificed greatly, we as a populace haven't been asked for the sacrifices we endured in the world wars. No victory gardens, no sugar rationing, etc. But, when asked, it is amazing what readers can do. We are still fighting another war in Afghanistan. We can still support those troops. We can support the ones coming home. How? Of course, we'll need to round up some equipment, but first we need somewhere to send it and I'm looking for suggestions. If you know of some fishing program in Afghanistan – they actually have real trout there – I
would love to know about it. Otherwise, there are some great programs in the United States for returning veterans – one that comes to mind is Project Healing Waters, which uses fishing as a way to soothe the troubled minds of disabled veterans. If you know of a worthwhile program, please let me know. Let's find a worthy cause and start tying. I'm not looking for places to send money, but somewhere we can create something with our own hands to make a difference. We can make a difference. I've seen what's possible when fly-tying vices are transformed into anvils of freedom. • The Friends of the NRAwill be holding its 2012 banquet at the Pullman Plaza Hotel in Huntington on May 3.

Spring Turkey Season begins in West Virginia By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
The woods might seem a bit odd this year for West Virginia turkey hunters. Many of the blooms hunters are used to seeing early in the season are gone. Many trees are already in full leaf with this year's early spring. The season began on April 23 and runs through May 19. Curtis Taylor, West Virginia DNR Wildlife Resources chief, said that the early spring weather will have some effects on West Virginia hunting. In most counties, including Putnam and Cabell counties, the trees were already in fullleaf by the time season began. While the early arrival of spring, the vegetation decreases the distance from which one can hear a gobbler. Taylor said that might create an impression for hunters that there are fewer turkeys this year. However, biologists say none of that changes the turkey's activity, as their behaviors are based on the length of daylight, not temperature. Thus, regardless
Although spring has come early this year, gobblers should be behaving normally, biologists say. Photo by Mark Shock, courtesy of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. of how the forests appear, a turkey's behavior on a given week should be very similar to that week in years before. Kem Shaw, wildlife biologist, said the turkey population is strong in Put-
nam and Cabell counties. While the harvests have not always been heavy in those counties, Shaw said that was likely due to a lack of hunters, not lack of birds.
“I think the birds are there, but not the hunting pressure. We've got a strong, healthy turkey population,” he said. Shooting hours are a half hour before sunrise to 1 p.m. That law makes it seem like you can hunt until 1 p.m., but it's illegal to have an uncased firearm in the woods after 1 p.m., so leave the stand early. If you bag a turkey, you have to field tag it immediately when you get back to camp or your vehicle although your best bet would be to attach it in the field and make sure it hasn't fallen off when you get back to camp. If you find yourself without a proper field tag, you can make one yourself and attach it to the bird. The tag needs to have your name, address, hunting license number, as well as the date, time and county of kill. That tag has to stay on the carcass until it is tagged at the checking station. You've got 72 hours from the time of kill – or 24 hours after the season ends (whichever comes first) to get the carcass checked in. You have
to keep the check-in-station tag on the carcass until it is dressed for consumption. According to conservation officers, among the most common violations are hunting over bait, improper license or hunting without a license, exceeding the bag limits, illegal possession of wildlife and hunting without permission. Also among the top offenses are ones that even honest hunters can commit in a moment or two of forgetfulness – failure to field tag a turkey and loaded gun in a vehicle. The spring season is the primary turkey-hunting season and whether or not a county has a fall season, depends on the number of turkey harvested. Until the mid 1960s, there was no spring season – all turkey hunting was done during the fall months. When the spring season was introduced in 1965, hunters found the gobblers were easier to call. Over the next 20 years, the spring season harvest increased until it finally eclipsed the fall harvest in the mid 1980s.

Arson AwarenessWeek is May 6-12, 2012 “PreventYouth Firesetting” CHARLESTON – The West Virginia State Fire Marshal’s Office announces this year’s Arson Awareness Week theme: “Prevent Youth Firesetting”. The following information is provided by the US Fire Administration (USFA) and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). The goal for this year’s Arson Awareness Week, which takes place May 6 – 12, 2012, is to focus attention on the prevention of firesetting by juveniles. According to the USFA’s National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) data and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), an estimated average of 56,300 fires are started by children playing with fire. There were 110 civilian deaths, 880 civilian injuries and approximately $286 million in direct property damage between the years of 2005 and 2009. Juveniles account for 40 percent of arson arrests with 47.6 percent of them being children under 16 years of age. Fires that are set in homes are more likely to be caused by younger children, whereas older children tend to set fires outdoors. According to data, males have a higher percentage rate of setting fires than females. Half of these fires set by children had a lighter as the heat source. Why do children set fires? For most children, the motive is experimentation and curiosity Children who suffer from mental or emotional problems might use firesetting as “acting out” behavior Other juveniles set fires for thrill-seeking and/or willful intent to cause destruction How can you help prevent children from setting fires? Always supervise young children Never leave matches or lighters in reach of children. Keep smoking materials locked up in high cabinets. Use child-resistant lighters, but remember that they are not child-proof. Instruct young children to tell an adult if they find matches or lighters. What are some other things you can do to keep your family safe? Regularly inspect your home for fire hazards Install and maintain working smoke alarms in your home
Plan and practice home fireescape drills that include two ways out from every room Install residential fire sprinklers in your home. Other things to remember; Many times, the public perceives arson by young people as “Just vandalism”. In reality, arson is an act of violence – and firesetting can easily result in loss of life and property. It is a crime and according to the amount of loss and other factors, juveniles can be prosecuted as adults. Take this behavior very seriously. The West Virginia State Fire Marshal’s Office urges everyone to have a comprehensive fire protection plan that includes smoke alarms, residential sprinklers, and practicing a home fire escape plan.

The community is invited to join Milton Baptist Church on Sunday, May 6 at 5:30PM when they host Movie Night with the screening of Courageous. Honor Begins at Home Four men, one calling: To serve and protect. As law enforcement officers, Adam Mitchell, Nathan Hayes, David Thomson, and Shane Fuller are confident and focused. Yet at the end of the day, they face a challenge that none of them are truly prepared to tackle: fatherhood. While they consistently give their best on the job, good enough seems to be all they can muster as dads. But they're quickly discovering that their standard is missing the mark. When tragedy hits home, these men are left wrestling with their hopes, their fears, their faith, and their fathering. Can a newfound urgency help these dads draw closer to God ... and to their children? Filled with action-packed police drama, COURAGEOUS is the fourth film from Sherwood Pictures, the moviemaking min-
istry of Sherwood Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia. Riveted moviegoers will once again find themselves laughing, crying, and cheering as they are challenged and inspired by everyday heroes who long to be the kinds of dads that make a lifelong impact on their children. Protecting the streets is second nature to these men. Raising their children in a God-honoring way? That's courageous.
