Children’s Needs, at the Huntington City Mission The Huntington City Mission, located at 624 Tenth Street, is requesting donations of twin sized sheets and children’s bedding. It is not required that these items be new, but in good condition. Project Hope is the transitional living facility, of the mission consisting of 18 two and three bedroom apartments. In order to reside in Project Hope, the individual or couple making application must have children. This is a requirement for the program. Children’s bedding is seldom donated, but always needed. Having a child’s room decorated in child friendly colors and themes make their transition easier to handle. Additionally, the Emergency Shelter attempts to likewise have children’s beds made-up in similar style. Young girl and boy scouts, and other youth groups, are asked to consider conducting a “Drive” for these very specific items. “No one wakes up one morning desiring to be homeless. The innocence of childhood is responsible only because of the decisions made by parents.” states Mrs. Clagg. Motivated by Love, led by persons of goodwill and directed by those with courage and vision The Huntington City Mission Ministries has moved forward over the years ministering to SEE MISSION ON PAGE 4

ECCHO Offers Help to Those in Need By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON – Every Monday and Wednesday, while most Milton residents are driving to work, Bruce Boone, Linda May, Sherry Perry and Debby Scarberry are sorting through bins and boxes of food and clothing. Minutes later, the door to their 1038 Smith Street building swings open by waiting widows and small families, hurting from soaring gas prices, rising food prices, inflation and loss of income. They come in feeling broken and hopeless by their financial struggles. They come twice a week, seeking help. Their burdens are heavy, but

week, opening the doors of Eastern Cabell County Humanities Organization (ECCHO). It’s behind Main Street in Milton, that down-
and-out people from here, Barboursville, Ona, Culloden, Lesage and Salt Rock can find help, love and hope. “We serve nearly 400 families or 1,200 people a month,” said Bruce Boone, a co-director of ECCHO. But more and more county residents are in need every year. From 2000-2007, the number of families served soared from 3,191 to 4,307, according to records from ECCHO. This organization opened in 1981, serving 206 families, and now, more than three decades later, serves 4,000 plus families. “It’s just been growing year after year,” Boone said. “The need never seems to run out or slow SEE ECHHO ON PAGE 7
Thousands get Lost in Milton Maze By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON – “I think we’re going the right way…I hope anyways…wait…oh no, we’re lost!” These words have been heard every October night for the past 12 years at Kim and Joyce Coopers’ corn maze. The atmosphere was no different Wednesday evening as groups came in only to become new victims for the maze. After just a few minutes in the winding paths of the towering corn stalks, they were lost. “Rev. Luana Cook Scott brought her group of children nearly 40 miles from Jefferson, near St. Albans, West Virginia, to experience this Cabell County attraction. “This is the second year we’ve come here," Scott said. “This is

have to be good to earn this trip.”
Her group jumped on a ride from a tractor as it drove onto the large property behind Milton Middle School. Maze owner and Milton Elementary Principal Kim Cooper said this land has been in his family for nearly 50 years. It was originally used as a farm, where the Cooper family would grow pumpkins, tomatoes and other vegetables, like typical farmers in the area. But one day, more than a decade ago, everything changed with a magazine and an idea. While working with the youth in his church, Cooper was flipping through the pages of a farm magazine when something grabbed his attention. He was drawn to an article of a man in Maple Leaf, Tennessee, who had an unusual addition to his crop SEE MAZE ON PAGE 16

Ronnie I went to Hurricane High School grades nine through twelve. I remember a lot of my classmates and I feel we had a good group of kids from those years. I won’t say when I graduated. Those of you, who know my age, just hush. I am glad I am the age I am and wouldn’t want to go back. I went to school with a boy named Ronnie. He was so much fun to be around as he always laughed and had a smile on his face. We were in the same homeroom and I saw him every morning. Ronnie was a Christian and I could tell there was something different about him, I did not know the Lord at the time, but being around him was encouraging. His brother and several cousins also went to Hurricane High as well. When we are young we never know how precious life is and we don’t think about our mortality. Ronnie passed away our freshman year at Hurricane High. We all were in shook. We didn’t have grief counseling like the kids have today. We just dealt with his death in our own ways. Ronnie was hit by a falling tree near his family home and did not survive. We go to our places of school, and work and we take for granted those people we see every day will be there tomorrow. I miss Ronnie and always will. When I visit my Grandma’s place of burial, I always go to visit Ronnie’s place. Now that I am older, I look back and think we were just kids, and we were. Six years ago we lost a co-worker. I had never lost a co-worker before and was sad for days. She went home on a Friday and had a stroke. She passed away nine days later. Don’t take your family, church family, friends, neighbors, or coworkers for granted. We have no promise of tomorrow.

Thought for the week: Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4 (KJV) Sitting here thinking, of the past, this same time of year, in October 1945, I was not old enough to attend school, and lived on the farm with my two brothers, my Mom and Dad. My two oldest brothers were in the navy. Many miles across the ocean, my three older sisters were working away from home, and I was the youngest. The big white two story farm house which we lived in was surrounded with old maple trees which were dressed in there fall colored leaf gowns this month, as the heaps and piles of leaves seemed never end falling, filling the large yard... The driveway was visible with plenty of time to see who came to the house, and on this day I so vividly remember my mom looking out the living room window, adjusting her apron, running a hand thru her hair, and a look of sudden shock, sadness, and wonder come upon her face, as if she was going to cry. Soon a Navel Chaplin and attendant were on the front porch with a low knock, as my mother greeted them you could see her eyes fill with tears, they were here to give her the bad news about her first born son that had suffered injuries in an airplane explosion and expired, while fighting for our country during World War II. I cannot remember what was said, but I shall never forget the many times during those following cold, winter months that I would see my mother sitting and wiping tears away with the corner of her apron, and seeing the sadness in her eyes as she gazed out over the dreary snow covered fields from her kitchen window. This scene was repeated many times during War World II, not only in our little town to neighbors we all knew, but across the entire United States. Every day our young men, fathers and brothers continue giving their life for this freedom. We sometimes take it for granted, the military loss of life, and it happens in a number of families each day. Our cemeteries - which sit high on the hills, down in the valleys and across the long scenic acres - are full of the same three foot high white government headstones with a name, rank, date of birth and death engraved upon them, men and women who gave their life for your freedom. Still today, the big white farmhouse stands, with those same glorious colored maple trees surrounding it, while new younger owners occupy its walls, those old trees in the yard could tell this story and recall the scene of a past bad news day. God has His reason and His season for everything that happens under His footstool; we endure and continue to keep the faith, because that is how we stay strong, so that we may help others thru trying times of grief and mourning. Prayer: Our Father in heaven who sees and knows all, in time of war and peace,let us be thankful everyday for our freedom,give to all Mothers strength to bear those bad news days when it comes to them….Amen.

Natural Gas Rates Lowered Across West Virginia The Public Service Commission of West Virginia today ordered natural gas utilities to lower the purchased gas portion of their rates for the upcoming heating season. The lower interim rates will go into effect on November 1, 2012. Final rates will be set in early 2013. Hope Gas customers will see their purchased gas rates decrease 12.35% from $6.25 to $5.48 per Mcf, and the Equitable Gas rate is being reduced 33.88% from $4.90 to $3.24 per Mcf. Consumers Gas, Bluefield Gas, Blacksville Oil & Gas, Canaan Valley Gas, Lumberport-Shinnston Gas, Southern Gas, Standard Gas, A.V. Company, Tawney Gas Services and Union Oil & Gas will all be decreasing their purchased gas rates. Mountaineer Gas will see the purchased gas portion of its rates go from $6.11 to $4.98 per Mcf, a decrease of 18.5%. Mountaineer has a base rate case pending before the Commission so the total rates have not yet been determined. Purchased gas adjustment (PGA) proceedings provide for annual rate adjustments based on an estimate of future costs utilities will pay for gas from their suppliers for the period of November 1 through October 30 of the following year and a true-up of actual costs for the previous year. Customers’ gas rates are adjusted annually to account for differences in the cost of gas in PGA cases. The PGA accounts for approximately two thirds (2/3) of the residential gas customer’s bill. The Commission does not regulate the supplier price which is determined by competitive markets, but does examine the gas purchasing practices of gas utilities and reviews the reasonableness of those practices. The PGA is solely a passthrough of gas costs and does not include a profit for the utility. More information is available on the PSC website: www.psc.state.wv.us.

First Lady Unveils 2012 Limited-Edition WV Governor’s Mansion Holiday Ornament CHARLESTON – First Lady Joanne Jaeger Tomblin unveiled the 2012 limited-edition West Virginia Governor’s Mansion holiday ornament during a public reception Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012, at the Culture Center, Capitol Complex. This year’s ornament, which was hand-painted by Logan native and Alum Creek resident Shelley Goodman, features the official state animal, the black bear, and the state insect, the honey bee, on a clear glass bulb. Each piece was painted freehand, so no two ornaments are exactly the same. The ornament is the third in a series of four ornaments created by Goodman, an award-winning, self-taught decorative painter who works in finely detailed enamels. Her 2010 ornament featured the state bird, the cardinal; her 2011 ornament, the state flower, the rhododendron. Only 750 ornaments were made this year. A limited number of last year’s ornaments will be available for sale as well on Oct. 17. “Whether you keep this ornament for yourself or share it as a
gift, we hope it will hold special memories of the 2012 holiday season,” the first lady said. The ornaments, which sell for $24 apiece, are available at the West Virginia State Museum Gift Shop in Charleston (304-2057911) and TAMARACK: The Best of West Virginia in Beckley (1-88 TAMARACK) as well as online at the Tamarack website, www.tamarackwv.com. A portion of the proceeds will go toward the Governor’s Mansion preservation fund. Goodman and the first lady will sign informational cards that accompany the ornaments during and after today’s event.

Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
I was supposed to discuss the mast report this week, but something far more significant has arisen. I thank Chris Lawrence of Metro News for bringing this tyranny against outdoorsmen to my attention. I have been writing an outdoors column for 13 years now. Never have I discussed politics. I've made it a point not to, with the exception of what I deem to be violations of Second-Amendment rights in West Virginia. But I have always spoken in general terms, never criticizing specific politicians. I can refrain no longer – the offenses are far too
egregious. First, there was President Obama's executive order giving him power to shut down fisheries. I had to speak out against that. And now there is this – coming on the 75th anniversary of the Pittman-Robertson Act, which has raised billions for wildlife using sportsman's tax dollars. We were very, very, very clear about that when we fought to get that legislation passed. Money from this tax – and keep in mind we ourselves created it 75 years ago – is to be used only to support wildlife. But that's not the plan from the White House. Not at all. Obama's Office of Management and Budget itemizes $31 million in PittmanRobertson funds and $34 million of Dingell-Johnson funds (a similar sportsman's tax to support fisheries) to be “sequestered” from the U.S. budget. In case you don't know what “sequestered” means, it means the same thing as “seized.” Our modern system of wildlife management is built upon this funding. In addition to restoring game from scarcity, it has saved the bald eagle from possible extinction. However, that long legacy may soon come to an end. It is an incredible legacy. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, we became aware that nearly all our game resources were being or had
been destroyed. Some game animals, such as the eastern bison and elk, were extinct. White-tailed deer and turkey numbers were so decimated; it seemed those species weren't far behind. Something needed to be done, but doing things costs a lot of money. In West Virginia, there were numerous experiments to raise money, such as high license fees. The first non-resident license, for instance, was created in 1899, which I believe was also the time we hired our first game warden.When you adjust for inflation, the cost of that license in today's dollars is a whopping $650. In 1909, West Virginia passed its first significant regulations – and gave the game and fish warden the teeth to enforce it by hiring fulltime deputy wardens. It was now illegal to ship game out-of-state, which shut down most commercial hunting. This state legislation of that year was basically a mirror of the federal Lacey Act of 1900, but now it could be enforced and bring to a close commercial market hunting that had decimated so many of the state's game species. Also that year, lawmakers created the state's first statewide hunting license for residents. It cost $1 ($23 when adjusted for inflation, about the same as todays). More than 24,000 licenses were sold. Fish and Game Warden J.H. Marcum had
been pushing hard for it as a vital game-management tool and wrote in his report to the legislature at the time that such fees worked very well and no state “after adopting the license system has ever repealed the law.” Naturally, Marcum jinxed himself by saying that and West Virginia did repeal the very next year, but it eventually – and gradually restored the license fees. Restoration of our wildlife resources was of extreme concern to outdoorsmen. The situation was dire and they rose to meet it. They said something few groups have ever said in the world's political history - “please, tax us.” Those calls for a tax to support restoration of game were realized in the Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937, which created a tax on rifles, shotguns, bows, etc. Every time you buy a new rifle, there is an 11 percent tax built into its cost. Since then, hunters and anglers have raised nearly $7 billion that directly helps wildlife. Anglers support fisheries with tax revenue from a similar act, the DingellJohnson Act. So you're asking yourself, why is the White House taking it? The seizure of our money, which we asked to be taken for the specific purpose of nurturing our forests and streams, is part of a huge package of across-the-board

It's one of many things scheduled to kick in after the election. So what happens when the funds are seized?We'll explore that next week, but Curtis Taylor, West Virginia DNR Wildlife Resources chief, said that within nine years, the DNR wouldn't be able to even keep the lights on and the first thing you'll notice is a drop of at least a couple of inches in the size of stocked trout, whose food at the hatcheries will be cut to save money (trout pellets are expensive). I say this seizure is tyranny and I think back to the list of grievances against King George III listed in the Declaration of Independence. One of them is “... For imposing taxes on us without our Consent,” which is precisely what this seizure does. Mind you, there are exemptions to this tyranny. The president's salary is one. Caring for our forests and streams, however, is not. Stop and think about that and it's obvious where the White House's priorities are. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.

He believes the poor economic conditions are to blame for the rise in the number of struggling families. Boone and the other volunteers see hope every day for the clients they serve. They see many of their clients’ lives change drastically. The emotion related to this work showed on Boone’s face as he described how some clients have their lives completely turned around for the better after coming to ECCHO. “Some people make it through, and many remember us and show thanks by donating and giving back to us,” he said, holding back tears. “But this is not a requirement and we ask nothing in return.” Volunteer Linda May agreed. “Working here gives us the opportunity to do good unto others and put our faith in action,” May said, smiling. “Some of us, who volunteer, are retired. We have a choice, and we choose to help people. We enjoy working with our volunteers and helping the clients.” May and the other ECCHO volunteers’ passion for helping their community mirrored a verse in the Bible they hold close to their hearts, “And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday,” Isaiah 58:10.

CHARLESTON – AARP West Virginia is applauding last week’s action by the Public Service Commission of West Virginia (PSC) that will result in a rate decrease for natural gas utility consumers across the state. Friday, the PSC entered an order lowering purchased natural gas rates beginning Nov. 1 for 13 natural gas utility providers doing business in the state. The PSC sets interim purchase gas rates every year at this time, based in large part on the price companies are paying for gas on the wholesale market. Reductions will vary by utility provider. Purchased gas adjustment (PGA) accounts for more than 60 percent of the residential gas customer’s bill, and is solely a pass-through of gas costs that does not include a profit for the utility, according to the Commission. The state's largest natural gas distribution company, Mountaineer Gas, will see the

2012 Wild Boar Firearms Season opens Oct. 27 SOUTH CHARLESTON – Wild boar firearms season in West Virginia will open October 27 and continue through November 3, 2012. The season is open to West Virginia residents only. To hunt wild boar, hunters must possess one of the following licenses: Class X, XJ, XS, AB-L, A-L or Class A+BG+CS or be exempt from purchasing a license. A special boar permit is no longer required. Hunting is restricted to Boone, Logan, Raleigh and Wyoming counties. Boar of either sex may be taken but hunters can kill only one

boar per year. Each animal that is harvested must be checked at an official big game checking station in the county of kill within 24 hours. Concurrent hunting of deer and bear, where legal, is permitted. Because of the declining boar population, boar hunting is no longer allowed in December. The number of boar harvested has decreased since the record high in 1995 of 158. The December season was the most productive, when hunters hoped for snow to increase visibility and to make tracking easier
“Due to declining boar numbers, hunters are now restricted to the October season,” said Kem Shaw, assistant district biologist for District 5 of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. “Hunting conditions will be challenging due to limited visibility because the leaves will still be on the trees. Falling leaves will quickly cover any sign. Boar should be scattered throughout the fourcounty hunting area due to good mast production this fall. Preseason scouting is recommended.”
purchased gas portion of its rates decrease to $4.98 per mcf (1,000 cubic feet), an 18.5 percent decrease. Mountaineer Gas serves more than 219,000 customers across the state, and presently has a base rate case pending before the Commission. “The Public Service Commission and West Virginia’s natural gas utility providers have acted responsibly in taking advantage of favorable market conditions to provide economic relief to West Virginia ratepayers,” said Gaylene Miller, AARP West Virginia state director. “As we enter the winter season where increased utility costs are often incurred, this decision is welcome news for older West Virginians – many of whom do not have the financial resources readily available to sustain unpredictable seasonal increases in their utility costs.” The PSC is expected to formally adopt the interim decreased rates in early 2013.

CMHS one step closer to a perfect season By Bishop Nash For The Cabell Standard
ONA- In football as with any endeavor, perfection is always the endgame. Cabell Midland took one step closer to a perfect regular season, rising 9-0 after routing the Princeton Tigers 42-7 Friday night at Knights field in Ona. “Being 9-0 isn't going to be easy,” Cabell Midland head coach Luke Salmons said, “Everybody's going to give you their best and we expect the same thing from Hurricane (in two weeks). That's what we've been focusing on as a staff, as a team and as a program; getting to the next level.” Following an uncharacteristically weak 21-13 victory over the Capital Cougars last week, the Knights offense and defense both resumed their normal clockwork dominance. While the defense manhandled yet another opposition in their usual bruising fashion, the offense showed signs of experimentation which included audibles, options and junior running back Kasey Thomas taking snaps at quarterback. “He's been working there all year and splitting reps with Coy (Pettit), Salmons said, “He's getting better each week, so he'll play more there each week.” Thomas, who had been minimized by injury during the season's first half, was eager to step in and play a part in any and all new offensive strategies. “It's just another thing to be grateful for with this team,” Thomas said, “You give us time, and we'll learn anything we want to do.” The first quarter seemed to carry to weight of last week's

sluggish outing. Cabell Midland failed to convert on fourth down during the opening drive and Princeton drove down to the Knights 24 yard line. The Tigers botched a hold on a 39-yard field goal attempt, and Midland made them pay on the next drive. Thomas struck first on a 20yard touchdown run, a sophomore kicker Chris Heiner made his first of six PATs following the suspension of all-state kicker Chris Molina. Salmons lauded Heiner's performance in his first appearance this season. “He did great stepping in,” Salmons said, “A very important part of what we do is our kicking game, and it's exciting to have a good, young kicker like him.” Both offenses would stumble to the second until senior running back Stephen Matthews ripped off a 57-yard touchdown run midway through the quarter. Then the real Cabell Midland showed up; the one that got to 90 in the first place. Tigers quarterback Jay Palmer
was picked off my Knights defensive back Kameron Stapleton in Midland territory, and Thomas found the end zone on the ground again from 8-yards out. Senior running back David Gaydosz, who's terrorized defenses all season, got his share of scoring before halftime on a 23yard touchdown run making it 28-0 at the half. Lowell Farley, the remaining cog in the “three-headed knightmare” yet to score, got his own touchdown off a 13 yard touchdown run late in the third quarter. The Knights recovered a muffed return on the ensuing kickoff, and Thomas struck again for Cabell Midland. This time, however, he hit tight end Tanner Chapman for a 16-yard reception to put the Knights firmly ahead 42-0 in the fourth. Princeton running back Devin Allen would break free for a 55-yard touchdown early in the fourth, but the contest was too far for salvage. Everybody on the sidelines saw playing time in the end, and Ca-

bell Midland had gone into their bye week 9-0 after the victory. Despite having no game this coming Friday, the Knights plan to compliment rest with their usual hard work. “We're going to be practicing pretty hard,” Thomas said, “But a
couple of hours a day, I'm going to put it up and rest awhile.” The Knights (9-0) have a chance to complete their perfect regular season on Nov. 3 when they take on the Hurricane Redskins at Knights Field in Ona. Kickoff is at 7:30.

Sale of Live Foxes Permitted in West Virginia SOUTH CHARLESTON – West Virginia trappers will be allowed to sell live foxes to hound coursing pens in West Virginia during the 2012-2013 trapping season, according to Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. All foxes used in hound coursing pens must be live-trapped in the county in which the pen is located. “This action will help to avoid
any additional westward spread of rabies and reduce the possibility of moving diseased animals across the state,” Taylor said. “In addition, because raccoons are the primary carriers of the raccoon strain of rabies, the sale of live raccoons remains suspended for the 2012-2013 trapping season.” Hound coursing pens are licensed in West Virginia and regulated by best management standards which are designed to
promote humane treatment of the wild animals being pursued. Trappers are urged to use extreme care when handling live animals due to the dangers of exposure to rabies and other diseases. Live animals may only be held by trappers during the trapping season and 60 days thereafter. Live foxes shall be held according to temporary or permanent housing requirements as specified by law. Please contact your local DNR
district wildlife biologist for more information about the sale of live foxes. Division of Natural Resources district offices are located in Farmington (304-825-
6787), Romney (304-822-3551), French Creek (304-924-6211), Beckley (304-256-6947), Point Pleasant (304-675-0871) and Parkersburg (304-420-4550).

MAZE FROM PAGE 1 of corn: a maze. “I thought the idea of having a corn maze would be a good venture to get into,” Cooper said. “I had been looking for stuff to do with the youth and this seemed like something that would be lots of fun for the kids.” After receiving the "ok" from his wife and the skepticism from his father, Cooper started an adventure that would grow into something bigger and better than stalks of corn he and his wife envisioned. “My dad thought I was nuts,” Cooper said. “But he came around.” “We had absolutely no idea what was going to happen,” Joyce Cooper said. "We have the property and the equipment, so it was worth a try." Cooper agreed with his wife. “We had a dream, and with
hard work and the good Lord blessing us, we have done well here,” he said. "But like any other business, we were willing to take a chance, work hard and persevere,” she added. For the past 12 years, this corn-stalk labyrinth has drawn visitors from across the Tri-state area to Milton. The Coopers believe this spur of guests to the area is good for the local businesses. For more than a decade, the maze has been worked into different designs including: a tribute to coal miners, Bridge Day, New York, farmers, Milton, Uncle Sam, and this year Breast Cancer Awareness. These designs not only keep the maze new and exciting, but often mean something to the people wandering through it, Cooper said.
This group from St. Alban chooses their path wisely. This is the second year at the maze for these boys and girls. Photo by Justin Waybright. He said the reason for this year’s design was to serve as a remembrance to people who have
been affected by cancer. “Most everyone has been touched by cancer,” Cooper
said. “This is all dedicated to the memory of those who have passed away from it, and the survivors who have whipped it.” Aside from experiencing the custom-designed corn maze, guests can get lost in the fun of campfires, the Corn Crib Crawl, the Cow Train and a pumpkin patch. Admission to the Cooper Farm Maze is $7 for adults, $6.50 for children and free for those under the age of three. Hours are Monday through Thursday by reservation. Friday is 5-10 p.m., Saturday 12-10 p.m. and Sunday 1-5 p.m. The Coopers will have a haunted maze Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26-27. The last date to get lost in the maze is Sunday, Oct. 28. To make reservations, call (304) 634-6293.
Humanities Council History Alive Program welcomes New Characters CHARLESTON - The West Virginia Humanities Council will add three new historical figures to its popular History Alive! program beginning November 1. Mary Lincoln portrayed by JoAnn Peterson of Kingwood, Eleanor Roosevelt portrayed by Patty Cooper of Parkersburg, and Mark Twain portrayed by Doug Riley of Tunnelton will
join the roster of characters. The History Alive! program brings historical figures to life through first-person portrayals by presenters who have conducted scholarly research on their character. The programs provide an interesting passport to the past by allowing audiences to explore history through interaction with important peo-
ple from history. They are available to nonprofit organizations throughout West Virginia including schools, libraries, musehistorical societies, ums, historic sites, and a variety of civic groups. The Humanities Council pays for the presentations directly and asks host organizations only to cover travel expenses for the presenter if
possible. Approximately 200 History Alive! presentations are given each year around the state. In addition to the new characters of Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Twain, the History Alive! program offers Osborne Perry Anderson, Clara Barton, Belle Boyd, Cornstalk, Martin Delany, Stonewall Jackson, Robert E.
Lee, Ostenaco, Babe Ruth, David Hunter Strother, and Harriet Tubman. Information on all the History Alive! characters and how to schedule a presentation can be found at www.wvhumanities.org or by calling Humanities Council Program Officer Mark Payne at 304-3468500.
