MILTON - It’s official.

A new grocery is in town, and with it comes a smiling pig, offering a plethora of bargain-priced items.

On Wednesday, May 8, people crowded to Perry Morris Square to celebrate Piggly Wiggly’s grand opening. Area residents and city leaders watched as co-owner Steve Johnson cut a red ribbon, officially welcoming the national grocery store chain to Milton.

This is the first Piggly Wiggly to arrive in the Mountain State, a feat Johnson is proud of. Moments before cutting the ribbon, the grocery store veteran shared gratitude toward the community

“I think Jesus Christ, my Lord and savior—I know He’s the rea-

son we’re here,” Johnson said, holding back emotion. “This is exciting, and we’ve had a lot of folks helping us get ready to see everything finally come together.”

Johnson was nothing but smiles Wednesday. He is happy to offer a one-of-a-kind grocery shopping experience to the city.

“It’s great to give back to Milton,” he said. “Our employees have done a super job and so has our warehouse staff—they’ve been a Godsend.”

Milton resident Mike Kirtley shops at Piggly Wiggly because it offers an experience and service like no other, he said.

20th Annual Rummage & Bake Sale: A Growing Success

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

HUNTINGTON - Clothes, toys, décor and household items filled the walls of the Cabell-Wayne Association of the Blind (CWAB) during its annual rummage and bake sale Friday morning.

Residents came from across the Tri-State for good bargains.

The organization held its first sale in 1993, on a resident’s front porch. During the past two decades, the event has grown into a community-wide sale extravaganza.

CWAB Director Paul Slone was happy, early into the three-day event.

“We’ve sold a lot, and this has really grown,” the local inspiration said. “This is great—the community really looks forward to this.”

More than good bargains, the annual sale provides visually-impaired consumers a chance to

Selling love—Donated items fill the Cabell-Wayne Association of the Blind during its 20th Annual Rummage and Bake sale May 2 through May 4. Photo by Justin Waybright enjoy shopping in a friendly and helpful environment.

Money raised during the event goes toward accomplishing

Slone and the CWAB’s mission, “…To promote and advocate the economic, educational, and social welfare of the blind and vi-

sually impaired of all ages, so they can maintain a lifestyle comparable to other members of society.”

To Slone, the event marks a time when his job becomes something much more than a simple “9 to 5.”

“I may work 50 to 60 hours a week, but this feels great—it makes your job not feel like a job,” he explained. “I don’t have to be here, but I want to be here.”

Slone continued, “You should enjoy what you’re doing so it doesn’t feel like work—this is rewarding to me.”

Since 1989, CWAB has grown.

It is now a household name in the Tri-State.

The organization will strive to continue serving the area with quality service to ensure the blind and visually impaired have the greatest quality of life possible.

The next event to come to CWAB is the McClanahan Memorial Concert July 12.

Preserving Prayer in the American Character For the vast majority of us, prayer is an enduring trait of the American character, one which deserves all the protections our Bill of Rights guaranteed through the free exercise of our religion, but one which unfortunately over time, has been misinterpreted.

Throughout the country's history, the Congress has sought to recognize prayer’s history, heritage and continuing role in American life. In 1952, Congress set aside the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer.

National Prayer Day reminds us that as we enlist the power of prayer for our Nation, we must be mindful whether at home or church or in the public schools, prayer can fulfill that most fundamental right of American citizenship, the free exercise of

religion.

This year, to coincide with our national day celebrating the gift of prayer, I have again introduced a Constitutional Amendment to ensure voluntary prayer in public schools. H.J. Res. 42, reads: “Nothing in this Constitution, including any amendment to the Constitution, shall be construed to prohibit voluntary prayer or require prayer in school, or to prohibit voluntary prayer or require prayer at a public school extracurricular activity.” In the past, I had jointly introduced this amendment with our late senator, Robert C. Byrd.

My efforts in the Congress have long been to preserve our Constitutional guarantees of freely exercising our religion, and not vanquishing that right from the

public square. Since the earliest days of our founding, and in the hearts and minds of those landing on our shores to settle a new world, hope endured through prayer Faith is fundamental in the history of our Nation – from the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, to ‘This Nation, under God’ in Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, to our national motto of ‘In God We Trust.’ Faith in our Creator has always sustained us as a nation and as a people. Our Nation’s Framers clearly appreciated the value of religion, and I believe the Constitutional intent was to ensure its free practice unimpeded by government interference.

As people of faith, Americans have often turned to prayer – for

comfort, for inspiration, for strength – in our daily lives. As Christians, we know what a powerful tool prayer can be to heal and focus our national energies in common cause.

The father of our own State, Abraham Lincoln, himself declared, "I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had nowhere else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me seemed insufficient for the day.”

In front of our State Capitol building stands a somber, head bowed statue of President Lincoln. Based on the poem, “Lincoln walks at Midnight,” the statue gives added meaning of prayer for our Nation. It represents the slain president brought back from his eternal rest to

mourn a troubled world during World War I. Old Abraham worries his good work for man will have been in vain, unless someone can bring a “white peace” to the World.

As Christians, we take great comfort in knowing that the Prince of Peace, our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, will, in his Father’s time, bring the “white peace” of which the poet wrote.

Until that day and hour, until the moment of his return, it is incumbent upon the body of Christ to seek solace and guidance in this old world through prayer.

You have my pledge to help preserve these foundations for our future. May the good Lord bless our families throughout the year and may He always bless America.

State Higher Education System announces Research Mini-grants CHARLESTON, WV - Six faculty members at West Virginia public universities have received ‘mini-grants’ from the state to assist in preparing proposals with the goal of obtaining much larger research funding awards. Policy Commission’s Division of Science and Research announced Research Proposal Mini-Grants of $5,000 each to faculty at Concord University, Marshall University, West Virginia University, The West Virginia Higher Edu-

cation and West Virginia University Institute of Technology.

The mini-grants provide replacement salary for an uninterrupted period of time for a faculty member to write research or research equipment proposals during the summer.

Each winning faculty member agrees to submit a proposal for funding from an external agency or foundation as a result of obtaining the mini-grant.

The Research Proposal MiniGrants were awarded to:

• Joseph Allen, Concord University; • Vagner Benedito, West Virginia University; • Deborah Chun, West Virginia University Institute of Technology; • Rosalyn Quinones, Marshall University; • John Rakus, Marshall University; and • Kaushlendra Singh, West Virginia University.

Dr. Jan Taylor, the Commission’s Director of Research Pro-

grams, said “The Mini-Grant Program is an investment in research, education, and ultimately, in economic development. By allowing these faculty members the opportunity to concentrate on external research proposals, the State of West Virginia ultimately may realize benefits well beyond its $30,000 investment.”

The Research Proposal MiniGrants are funded by the West Virginia Research Challenge Fund, which lays the foundation

for many of the state’s competitive grant programs. For more information regarding that fund and other programs managed by the Division of Science and Research, please visit www.wvresearch.org.

Thought for the week: Genesis; 2; 7 (KJV) And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

My grandson started up the riding mower, for the usual lawn cutting Z-ROOOOOMM--out jumped a little gray mouse, from beneath the mower, giving birth to her babies on the run, she dropped, three, grey baby mice in the grass, not even an inch in length, so small, they looked like grub worms, only pink, with a covering of fine grey hair, squeaking with breath of life.

I found a shoe box, put in some of their nest, and placed the three babies in it, thinking. they will soon die…. the next

morning I warmed some milk ,put it in a plastic baggie snipped the tip end, just enough for drops to come thru ,I held each one , and watched as they sucked on the tip of plastic - getting nourishment. I warmed a cloth to put over them., thinking what will I do with a creature that makes us jump ,and we usually get rid of.-what scientific research uses by the dozens for medical discoveries -----what elephants are afraid of.

The fact is -it has BREATH of life in it.

God gave it to All-- humans, creatures large and small, what right do we have to destroy this, something so small, and helpless and harmless, squeaking for breath.

Psalms-150; 6 Let everything that hath

The Cabell Standard breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.

In the U.S. the number of rats and mice used for research is estimated at 20 million a year. Mice are considered to be the best model for inherited human diseases, and share 99% of their genes with humans; they are low cost and reproduce rapidly.

Leviticus 11:29-(KJV) These also shall be unclean unto you among the creeping things that creep upon the earth; the weasel, and the mouse, and the tortoise after his kind.

Mice may be unclean, but look how God has a use for them; so much has been accomplished thru medical research using the little mouse.

My three mice only lived three days, so, I did not take their life, their breath of life ended.

Our hearts, that pumps, the breath of life to each of us, is taken for granted each moment and God has a purpose for each of us too!

PRAYER: Thank you God for LIFE, We know that you are the giver and taker of life. Amen.

CANTERBURY FROM PAGE 1 After learning of his win, the reelected city leader breathed a sigh of relief. The election yielded two goals for Canterbury: his re-instatement as mayor and the decision to carry on four-year-terms as opposed to two-year-terms in office.

“The people of Milton are smart people—you can’t fool them— they know what they want and they get what they want,” he said.

“I am excited with the election results and glad it’s over—now, we can get back to work again.”

During the past four years, Canterbury has accomplished many goals, improvements and up-

grades for Milton. As he looks ahead to the coming four years, the local resident sees an even brighter future.

“We’re getting in gear now,” said Canterbury. “We’ll be getting new businesses in the city, fixing streets and sidewalks, replacing sewer and water lines, and things will start moving with Morris Memorial.”

The mayor continued, “I want to thank those, who voted for me, and to those, who didn’t—I hope I can do something during this term to make them satisfied.”

The mayor position may be unchanged, but the city council is

not. Milton welcomed Cecil Taylor and Robert “Bob” Legg on board with incumbents Carl Harshbarger, Pat Wisman and Charlie Conard.

Phyllis Smith ran unopposed for city recorder.

Another big decision came from voters: the choice for a four-yearterm. It’s one that Canterbury is proud of.

“This is a great thing for the city of Milton,” he said. “It saves on election expenses, paperwork and time.”

The mayor and councilmembers thank all the citizens for voting.

During the meeting, A. Gordon Merry, Cabell County EMS director updated commissioners on the progress of the new EMS station in Barboursville. He told county leaders of a planned walk-through later in the week

and a grand opening ceremony May 29.

“This is exciting—that’s before the end of the month,” said Commissioner President Nancy Cartmill.

The building is more than 90 percent done, said Merry. Now, crews must finish the details, like tiles and buttons.

Merry is proud to offer a new facility that he believes will ultimately save lives.

“There’s no doubt about it,” he said. “This will also give excellent coverage for the Pea Ridge area, Route 60 and the mall.”

Commissioner Yon is excited to see a project go from an idea to reality. She is proud of the hard work accomplished.

“It’s neat for me to see the project from start to finish come together so quickly and smoothly,” said Yon. “This station is something they’ve wanted for a long time.”

EMS FROM PAGE 1 “This is a gem that we have here locally—it’s a special place—it’s one of the last theaters of its type and we’re lucky to have it,” she said. “I am glad for all the work they’ve done on Keith Albee.”

Velma’s View

By Velma Kitchens Bangladesh I recently met a young woman who is in medical school and she came here from Bangladesh. She is a very bright, outgoing woman who knows a lot of her country’s history and enlightened me on my knowledge of Bangladesh and the people there.

This young lady came here in her teen years and attended public school in Virginia. She has worked for everything she has in her life and she is proud to be an American.

She loves our country and plans to marry a young man and practice medicine in New Jersey or New York.

She said in Bangladesh the people mostly are laborers, however, her father was a Civil Engineer and they were the upper class - although she never considered herself better than anyone else.

In Bangladesh the people mostly grow their food and don’t have a lot of meat. She said that goat is a good meat to eat. I have never had goat, but she assures me that it is good if it is cooked right.

She said in the public school where she went she was so surprised at the lack of respect that the students had toward their teachers.

We take so much for granted here in America. In Bangladesh education is one of the biggest essentials for the children. Parents want a better life for their children as we all do and they are so glad when their child can learn.

This young woman’s Dad wanted a better life for her and her sister and brother so they came here to America and they have had a better life. She is free to voice her opinion and not be killed by the government. She said if she lived in Bangladesh now and was so outspoken about all the corruption and all the other things going on in Bangladesh, she probably would not be alive.

She loves the people of Bangladesh and wants better for them.

We need to be thankful for our country. I will never forget this kind compassionate and caring young lady I met and will never forget the history lessons she taught me. People everywhere are the same, they want to love and be loved and want to be good citizens.

But most importantly they need the Lord.

Thank You!!!

For Your Support!

Faith Tested in the Fire

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

DURHAM, N.C. - Faith is the substance of things hoped for: the evidence of things not seen.

Locally, one woman knows this definition well.

Inside a Cross Lanes home, a 29-year-old nurse practitioner sits under a blanket, wearing a tshirt with the words, “Expect a Miracle” stitched on it.

A scar stretches across the right side of her head as a reminder of the four-year battle she has fought.

Christina Britton has walked through fire.

Her journey through the flame has forged an incredible story of faith, inspiration and perseverance.

When Britton was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in 2009, she felt peace.

“I remember lying on a hospital bed, my mom holding my hand and doctors saying, ‘you have a large mass in your brain and we are trying to get you in for an MRI,’” recalled Britton. “I just said ‘ok.’ I just had an overwhelming peace - so much that she [mom] thought I didn’t understand what was going on.”

What would devastate most, virtually had no effect on the young woman. Britton’s fearlessness and faith shined through the darkness.

Her fiery journey began with a series of headaches in late August 2009.

On Aug. 20, 2009, the pain became too much. The 25-year-old went to ER at CAMC’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital where an ambulance rushed her to General Hospital.

In a small waiting room, family and friends learned nightmarish news: a mass sat on Britton’s brain.

But, the courageous woman stayed positive. She held on to a promise found in the Old Testament.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,” states Jeremiah 29:11.

Under doctor’s orders, an ambulance drove Britton to a hospital at Duke University for a brain biopsy. Family and friends followed closely behind, praying the entire way.

After tests, doctors told Britton she had a cancerous tumor on her brain. Britton received a pathology report that showed a grade-three brain tumor, a condition that would require immediate surgery, chemo and radiation.

Britton would only live about four months without treatment or surgery, doctors told her.

Miracle in the making - Britton looks up for strength during her walk through cancer and back. In April, surgeons removed a cancerous tumor from her brain.

She was healed once in 2009. Family and friends are praying for healing again.

Photo by Justin Waybright.

The hospital scheduled surgery for Sept. 14 to remove the life-threatening mass.

By this time, hundreds of family members, friends and strangers cried out for God to spare Britton’s life.

From September to December, they prayed for a miracle.

In late December, prayers were answered during a routine post-surgery-checkup.

After running a test, surgeons, doctors and nurses at a North Carolina hospital stood in disbelief. The results they found were shocking.

Cancer no longer existed in Britton’s brain. All traces of it were gone. She was healed.

The prayers of many had been answered. A miracle had been granted.

Britton was given the greatest Christmas present she ever received: the miracle of life.

“Doctors said it was completely gone,” she recalled.

Through her four-year battle, Britton has inspired hundreds.

Erica Hinkley smiles every time she looks at her sister.

“She is the strongest person I know - not one time through this did I ever see her scared - she just always had faith God would take care of her,” Hinkley remembered. “When I look at her, I see a miracle.”

Kati Harmon has known Britton for more than 20 years. She stood by her best friend during surgeries.

Harmon was blown away by the peace that saturated her friend during the chaotic time.

“She seemed ironically calm about the situation - she was at peace with it - she was never depressed and never felt sorry for herself,” remembered Harmon.

“She had a peace that passes understanding - a peace you can’t describe unless you know God.”

The young woman continued, “Christina is a miracle.”

Darcia Painter looks forward to Mother’s Day, May 12. She has the greatest present a mom could ask for.

“It’s awesome that God gave us this miracle that we still have our daughter,” Painter said. “It’s amazing that He thought of us to give to us such a wonderful daughter.”

The proud mother continued, “She is most definitely a miracle.”

Father’s Day is also coming soon, but Mark Painter already has the best present he’s ever been given: his daughter. Her valiant fight has changed his life.

“It’s increased my faith dramatically to see what she’s gone through,” Painter said. “I’m proud she’s my daughter and she lives up to the faith we instilled in her - it’s just indescribable the kind of faith she has.”

The proud father continued, “I do see a miracle.”

Life was back to normal at the Britton household until April 2, 2013. An MRI showed another cancerous, grade 3 tumor, almost identical to the one found four years ago.

But, like the incident in 2009, the cancer survivor remained calm.

While lying on a hospital bed, the warrior of faith kept smiling.

Peace overshadowed her room.

In early April, for the second time, surgeons removed a lifethreatening mass. After rest, Britton was sent home where she is now recovering from major brain surgery.

Her body may be scarred but her drive is not.

Determination paints her eyes as she looks toward the future with a mission.

“This opened doors for me to share about my experience and

God with others,” said Britton.

The 29-year-old touched the right side of her head softly and humbly smiled, “I would have never had the opportunity to share if it wasn’t for this.”

Since her miraculous healing, Britton has shared her story at local churches and with cancer patients across the country. She provides a glimmer of light in people’s darkest times.

“I tell them ‘cancer is not the end of the world…God healed me,” she said.

Melissa Pratt, pastor of Teays Valley Church of God has preached hundreds of messages on the power of faith. When she looks at Britton, she sees the five-letter-word put into action.

“Faith is the constant conviction that God is bigger than the mountain you’re facing,” explained Pratt.

“Christina chooses every day to believe God is at work - she realizes nothing will happen to her in this life that God will not take care of or see her through.”

When the local preacher thinks of Britton, the word “miracle” comes to mind. She knows what the word entails, but sees it all over Britton’s life, especially when noticing the peace the young woman exuded during a tragic time.

“To have peace in the midst of crisis - real peace - not a put-on

- not a façade to keep everyone else peaceful - is a miracle,” Pratt explained. “She’s had unbroken peace, even when she was told she had such a short time to live - that’s a miracle. To experience the physical healing is also miracle.”

Family and friends have all been touched by Britton as well.

Her walk through this scary trial inspires them to encourage others with Britton’s story.

“Anyone else would have questioned ‘why is this happening to me,’ but she seeks to use this to express her faith to others,” said Harman.

Hinkley agreed. She believes her sister’s story is one that needs to be shared with the world.

“I cut hair and talk to a lot of people - I tell them about her and that she’s a miracle,” Hinkley said.

Britton’s undeniable faith has spread throughout her family.

“If this wasn’t a God thing, I don’t know what is,” Painter said.

“The power of prayer is amazing.”

The joyful father continued, “So many people are finding strength from her story.”

Pratt agreed. The longtime preacher believes Britton is a disciple, sent to spread God’s love and truth with her story.

“In spite of her situation, she never made it about her - she never focused on herself,” said Pratt.

She described the essence of Britton’s calling while remembering a recent run for cancer event.

“In the midst of all this, she is still running a race for other people to inspire them to run,” Pratt said. “I’m thankful Christina allowed her life to be proof that Jesus is alive, and he has healing power to help us endure life’s challenges.”

Christina Britton’s faith is rare.

It is unwavering and steadfast.

When the world tells her she cannot make it - faith tells her she can.

Britton will begin chemo and radiation in May. Her family welcomes prayers for her recovery. They are confident she will win the fight.

WV 8th graders to learn about science with Nanooze Magazine CHARLESTON, WV - Eighthgrade students at schools across the state are receiving tiny lessons in science through the first-ever West Virginia edition of Nanooze magazine, a publication about nanotechnology, the science of small objects less than the width of a human hair. These very small particles and molecules are making a big impact in technology, medicine, automobiles, cancer treatment, and computers, to name just a few.

Nanooze is provided free to all eighth-grade grade students by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission’s Division of Science and Research. The publication and distribution of Nanooze is part of an effort to stimulate in-

terest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) careers among middle school students.

“To be economically competitive now and in the future, West Virginia needs more college graduates, and particularly we need to graduate more people trained in STEM fields,” said Dr. Jan Taylor, the Commission’s Director of Research Programs. “We hope this magazine and the guidance of classroom teachers can move our state toward the goal of increasing the number of students graduating in STEM fields every year.”

“This magazine is an excellent example of informational text that teachers might use with their students,” said Marty Burke, Assistant

Director of the West Virginia Department of Education’s Office of Instruction.

“We encourage teachers to use Nanooze magazine to guide class discussions about science research, discoveries, and career opportunities.”

The West Virginia edition of Nanooze magazine includes: a description of what nanoscience is all about; a story about how West Virginia scientists are working to develop technology to improve sensors for use in environmental, military and public health applications; a page about individuals in West Virginia working in nanotechnology; and a map showing where nanotechnology is happening in West

Virginia.

The Division of Science and Research mailed packages of Nanooze to public and private schools across West Virginia with magazines for each of the more than 22,000 eighth-grade students in the state. An electronic version of Nanooze is available at www.wvresearch.org/nanooze.

Teachers and school administrators can request additional printed copies of the magazine at no cost through the website.

While this is a special West Virginia edition, Nanooze is published nationally for students by the Cornell NanoScale Science and Technology Facility. Previous issues of the magazine and more information for kids about

nanotechnology can be found by visiting www.nanooze.org. Teachers are encouraged to subscribe to receive free regular issues for their students.

The Division of Science and Research provides strategic leadership to improve research infrastructure and develop competitive research opportunities in STEM disciplines. The office directs the National Science Foundation’s Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) in West Virginia, coordinates scientific research grants to academic institutions from federal and state agencies, and conducts outreach to broaden the public’s understanding of science and technology.

WVDNR Advises: Leave Young Wildlife Alone FRENCH CREEK, WV - The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources advises people to leave all young wildlife alone. “The spring season is the time of year when the woods and fields of West Virginia are full of new life,” said Gene Thorn, wildlife biologist at the West Virginia State Wildlife Center in French Creek. “People have a great opportunity to view and enjoy young wildlife during this season, but it is especially important for the public to understand the need to avoid touching or disturbing these wild animals.”

Attempts to rescue or rehabilitate young wildlife are often counter-productive, according to Thorn. Picking up or getting too close to wildlife greatly increases

the chance of harm to the animal and/or the persons involved in this unwise practice. By touching young animals, humans leave a scent that may attract a predator.

Wildlife viewing is an enjoyable and perfectly acceptable activity; however, Wildlife Resources Section personnel recommend that this pastime be conducted from a safe distance and with the aid of binoculars.

“In addition to being detrimental to the welfare of young animals, handling wildlife potentially may expose humans to various wildlifeassociated diseases, parasites and other health-related risks,” said Thorn. “Rabies, roundworms and other parasites such as lice and ticks can be transmitted to hu-

mans through the improper handling of wildlife.”

DNR offices statewide receive numerous calls each year concerning young wildlife, especially fawn deer that have been picked up by well-meaning residents. In almost every case these young animals have not been abandoned.

The offspring are often hidden as the adult searches for food, and this separation can last for a few hours or all day.

Humans are poor substitute parents for wild animals, because young wildlife require special diets and learn survival skills from their parents. Removing young wildlife from its natural environment almost certainly leads to the death of the animal.

Many people often mistake a bedded fawn, with no mother in sight, as abandoned, but that is usually not the case. Hiding the fawn and leaving it while the doe searches for food is an important survival tactic. The spotted pattern and coloration of fawns and their lack of scent afford protection to these young animals and make them difficult for predators to detect.

If a predator happens to approach close to a fawn, the young deer will normally hold very still until the threat passes. If discovered by a predator, the fawn will wait until the very last moment before fleeing to safety. The doe will come back to check on her fawn at feeding time.

As a final cau-

tion, remember that state laws and regulations prohibit the possession of wildlife without a permit.

Under any circumstances, when you pick up a young animal in the wild, you have taken it into your possession. The fines for illegal possession of a fawn deer, black bear cub, baby raccoon, squirrel or any other species taken or possessed during the closed season range from $20 up to a maximum of $1,000 and/or up to 100 days in jail.

“We want everyone to enjoy wildlife in West Virginia,” said Thorn. “For your own health and safety and to protect the state’s wildlife, remember these wild animals should be left alone and allowed to stay wild.”
