Huntington author James E. Casto's newest book, “Highway to History” is now available.

STAFF REPORT HUNTINGTON – Huntington author James E. Casto's newest book “Highway to History: A Midland Trail Scrapbook” was recently released by Quarrier Press.

The 112-page softback volume is a colorful word-and-picture look at the historic Midland Trail, also known as U.S. 60, which stretches across West Virginia from White Sulphur Springs to Kenova.

“In the country’s earliest years, the roadway – then little more than a dirt path – carried the tide of settlement westward,” Casto said. “During the Civil War, both Union and Confederate troops marched along it. In the years beSEE AUTHOR ON PAGE 5

Hurricane Company to offer free Drug Testing

By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

HURRICANE – Reliant Drug Test Solutions of Hurricane will be offering free drug testing to all parents in the area on Saturday, Sept. 15, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The tests will be done at Reliant's office, which is located at 3400 Teays Valley Road in Hurricane, and will screen for up to 10 drugs and drug classes.

Steve Patrick, owner and president of Reliant Drug Test Solutions, said that this is the first time that his company has offered this free service.

“Drug abuse has become epidemic in our region,” Patrick said. “More and more children are using illegal drugs and abusing prescription drugs than ever before; and starting younger and younger.”

Patrick said that the average age that kids start abusing drugs is now 12, although he has seen even younger kids brought to his office for testing.

“Kids are into more things than you know,” Patrick said, “and sadly, the parents are usually the last to know.”

Patrick said that on a regular basis he has had parents brings their kids in for testing and are completely blindsided when

the results come back positive.

“You don't have to go too far to find people that have been personally affected by drug use, either by someone in their family, or by someone they know,” he said.

Patrick said that the most important thing that parents can do is talk to their children about drug use and let them know its dangers and consequences. He said that offering the free drug testing services is one way that parents can begin than conversation with their children.

“Don't be afraid you will upset your teen,” he said. “Your job is to protect them. Show them that you care for their

health and safety and find out for sure. If nothing else, this will get you and your child talking about drugs and their dangers.”

The drug test being offered is a urine test. The results will be available in about 10 minutes, Patrick said. Normally the test would cost $50.

The results are confidential and will be given only to the parents, he emphasized.

“The results will only be given to the parents,” he said. “Then the parents can do what they want with the results.”

While the testing is free, Reliant is asking that parents call ahead and schedule an appointment time to come in for

the testing. The number of tests given on Sept. 15 will be limited to the available stock Reliant has on hand, which is another reason to call ahead, Patrick said.

For more information, or to schedule an appointment time, call Reliant Drug Test Solutions at 304-397-6551.

Patrick said that while this is the first time his company has offered this service, if it is well received, he will offer it again in the future.

“If we get a good response, we will offer it again in the future,” he said. “Reliant Drug Test Solutions is committed to helping our children stay drug free.”

Scouras will showcase cookbooks from the Archives collec-

A column by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin Hero. That word - hero-gets used an awful lot in America today. People talk about sports heroes and movie heroes and comic book heroes. It's used so much it sometimes loses its meaning.

West Virginia lost two great heroes last week: Corporal Marshall Bailey and Trooper Eric Workman. These two men had dedicated their lives to keeping us safe. They got up every day-and a whole lot of nights-and put on the reassuring green uniform of the West Virginia State Police.

Every day, they stood on the line that separated good from evil, and risked everything to make sure the evil couldn't hurt the good. These two men sacrificed their own safety to protect the rest of us. That's what I call a hero.

They both did it willingly. They

could have picked an easy job, a safe job, a job behind a desk. Instead, they picked the hardest job. They choose a career with long nights on the road, calls at all hours, and danger around every corner, always a split second away. They lived and worked with the knowledge that any call, any stop, could be the one that went wrong.

Why did they do it? All I can say is that police work is more than a job. It's a calling. There are certain people, special individuals, who have something inside of them that the rest of us don't.

They have a drive to serve, a passion to protect, and a belief in sacrifice. They don't do it for the money, and they don't do it because it's comfortable-they do it because they are called. I call those people heroes, and Corporal Bailey and Trooper Workman

were heroes.

What happened in Clay County was absolutely terrible.

It's still hard to understand; there just aren't any words for a tragedy like this. Corporal Bailey left behind three children, and Trooper Workman was just beginning his life. I can't imagine the pain their families are experiencing right now. As I told them earlier this week, I hope they are able to find comfort knowing both men are in a better place.

And, they couldn't have gone in a more honorable way.

Joanne and I continue to keep these folks in our prayers, and ask you to do the same. May God wrap his arms around the families of the two great heroes, and may God bless the law enforcement officers across our state who work each and every day to make sure we are safe.

Milton Baptist Church to Participate in National ‘Back to Church Sunday’ Sept. 16 MILTON – Hey, how would you like to go to church with me this Sunday?

Chances are you’ve never heard this phrase and most likely you have never spoken it Studies show that 82% of unchurched people would attend if someone invited them! Yet fewer than 2% of Christians ever invite an unchurched person!

National Back to Church Sunday was designed to change that.

“Back to Church Sunday,” part of a national movement of

churches across America, will be held at Milton Baptist Church in Milton at 9:30am and 11:00am Sept. 16. Everyone is welcome to attend.

National “Back to Church Sunday” (www.backtochurch.com) is an initiative that is “Inviting America Back to Church.” It seeks to reach the "un-churched" and "de-churched"—people who once attended church, but don't any more—and invite them to return for a special Sunday.

Since its inception, National

Back to Church Sunday participants have invited more than five million family members, friends, and neighbors to their churches.

About 14,000 churches are expected to participate this year, inviting more than two million visitors.

Milton Baptist Church is located at 1123 Church Street in Milton. For more information, go to www.miltonbaptistchurch.net or call 304-743-3461.

Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine volunteer faculty member honored with National Teaching Award HUNTINGTON – Dr. Jason A. Hudak, a three-time Marshall University graduate, has been selected as a recipient of the 2012 Pfizer Teacher Development Award. The prestigious honor is given to only 13 physicians nationwide by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) Foundation.

The Pfizer award is presented to community-based, new physicians who combine their clinical practice with part-time teaching of family medicine. Hudak has a private practice in Barboursville and serves as volunteer clinical faculty member with the Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.

“I was really surprised to receive this award,” Hudak said. “As a new volunteer faculty member, I was learning to teach just as much as the students were learning to learn. It’s been an unexpected blessing.”

Dr. Jason A. Hudak Hudak graduated from Marshall with his undergraduate degree in 2001 and then with his medical degree in 2005. He completed a residency in Family Medicine in 2007.

Hudak was nominated by colleagues in the Marshall Department of Family and Community Health, including Dr. Mitch Shaver, who is residency director for the department.

“We are so proud of Dr. Hudak,” Shaver said. “A professional demeanor was one of many outstanding attributes Dr. Hudak exhibited during his residency and I think a reason why students really enjoy their rotation in Family Medicine with him – he portrays such a great example.”

This is the second consecutive time a Marshall University Family Medicine residency graduate has received the AAFP Pfizer Teaching Development Award. Last year, Dr. Scott Davis was also recognized.

Hudak will be honored at the AAFP’s Scientific Assembly meeting later this year in Philadelphia.

A Quiet Celebration (shhh) at Kanawha State Forest Kanawha State Forest in Charleston turns 75 years old in September and forest staff is inviting visitors to participate in a “Quiet Celebration” September 21 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

“Come walk for one-half hour at the forest,” said Superintendent Ernie Adkins. “It can be on a trail, along the road or around a picnic or parking area. Just get outside, come to the forest and walk for a half of an hour, and enjoy a quiet, reflective activity.” The West Virginia State Parks System encourages nature awareness through

outdoor recreation such as the “Quiet Celebration” activity.

Kanawha State Forest acreage was acquired on September 21, 1937, by the West Virginia Conservation Commission. “Many of the trees may be well beyond a century in age, but the establishment of the area as a forest is a 75-year milestone,” said Adkins. The forest became part of the West Virginia State Parks System in 1978. The forest encompasses 9,302 acres and features camping, hiking, picnicking, mountain biking, swimming pool, and nature-based

pursuits such as bird watching and flora identification events.

Visitors may stop by the forest office to register and receive a commemorative 75th anniversary lapel pin after walking one-half an hour (or more) on September 21.

The forest office will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. There is no designated trail or pace. Walking time is on the honor system. There is no charge to participate.

When numbered highways were introduced, it was designated U.S. 60. Today, there’s history waiting around every bend of its 180 miles.”

“Most of today’s motorists,” he said, “prefer to stick to the easier, far quicker driving offered by Interstate 64. But those travelers who are willing to take their time and instead drive the two-lane blacktop of the Midland Trail can get a glimpse into history that’s denied those who hurry along the superhighway.”

Surely the best way to learn about the Midland Trail is to jump in the family car and set off on a personal exploration, Casto said, but the next best thing is to take the armchair tour offered in “Highway to History,” with its 200-plus photos and illustrations.

Organ Cave Last June a group of us from Church went to visit Organ Cave near Ronceverte West Virginia.

I had not been there before and thought it would be interesting, and it was.

Organ Cave stays about 52 degrees all year long. (I guess we could have made a high dive for the cave when the electricity was off).

Organ Cave is the longest cave on the East Coast. The tour takes about an hour and a half with stops to observe the different things in the cave. The tour is about 2 miles long.

Organ Cave is the most historic cave in the United States. All tours are based on creation and the King James Version of the Bible, which makes the tour more interesting than most tours of caves.

Creationists believe the cave was created by the flood in the Bible.

(I believe in creation).

Founded in 1704 the cave was used as refrigeration and for storage. The cave was used in the Revolutionary War, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Robert E. Lee used the cave as a storage place for ammunition.

The cave was used for about 1100 confederate soldiers and was used as a church as well as other purposes during the war.

Many students come to learn from the cave more about biology, science and archaeology as well as other studies.

For those of you who like history, Organ Cave is the place to visit.

West Virginia has so many nice places to visit. Check out the website at www.organcave.com.

I have mentioned only a few of the nice things about Organ Cave, but you can go and see for yourself.

Request a brochure before your visit. There are also overnight stays in the cave, but has to be booked in advance.

“The Old Entertainers” Thought for the week: But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

Deuteronomy 8:18 (KJV) Recently I attended a country music concert featuring performers who were at one time top country music recording artists. These professional singers and song-writers are still popular today among some fans. For years they were at the top of the charts, but with advanced age came a decline in voice quality, appearance, and thus size of audience.

However, they can still draw a crowd.

I listened and observed, wondering, what kind of life they truly lived... Usually, there have been several wives, many children, with an abundance of fame and fortune. Have they ever had time for LIVING? While traveling on the road, performing from city to city constantly giving all their energy to the public’s enjoyment GOD blessed them with the health, talent, and the stamina to do this. Did they use their wealth and their time as they really wanted, or were they just caught up in this world and the fleeting moments of popularity?

Now age has consumed the lifestyle they once had. Do they look back and think what life might have been, had they chosen another path? How much of this fame and recognition was returned to the creator? Only they know themselves and GOD. Take a moment and examine your own life, have I accomplished doing the things I wanted in life?

So many times we say to ourselves someday I am going to do this or that, better not put it off. Tomorrow may not come - do it today. God intended for us to enjoy this gift of life.

He makes no mistakes. .

Prayer: Thank you God, for life itself. Help us make good decisions that glorify you, Father, lest we forget who created us and gave us the choice to do as we wish. Amen.

Remember a great musky Fisherman

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

For the last 10 years or so, I've been following the WVangler.com forum – an Internet forum for West Virginia anglers. As far as Internet forums go, it's a bit unusual because you can actually go fishing with some of these guys because the vast majority of them are West Virginians.

There was one West Virginia angler that first showed up on the forum five years ago. Like me, he was an Elk River boy. He first announced himself thusly “this is me:” followed by a picture of

himself with a monster musky.

His name was Eric Workman.

He was a West Virginia State Trooper. He was only 26 when he died.

Eric and Cpl. Marshall Lee Bailey were answering a call about an erratic driver in Clay County and pulled over Luke Baber. They arrested him and put him in the back of their cruiser.

When they frisked him, they missed the handgun Baber had hidden. While the officers were waiting on a tow truck, Baber, who was handcuffed, pulled out the pistol and shot both troopers.

Both died.

County deputies Roane tracked down Baber and killed him in a shootout.

West Virginia is now mourning both Bailey – a Putnam County native - and Eric. Not only did we lose two of our finest troopers in those two, West Virginia lost one of its best musky anglers in Eric.

Most of what I know about Eric is from his years on the forum and from friends who have fished with him. He spent every minute he could on the water and I doubt few people knew the lower Elk River and its muskies – as well as many of the state's other

musky fisheries – as well as Eric Workman. When it came to fishing, reading water and casting – he was a master of nuance.

He had a great deal of respect for the fish he caught and released all of his muskies. While he fished, he also collected data for the DNR that helped biologists better understand fish population growth and how fish move.

He even had a scanning device from the DNR that allowed him to scan vital information from computer chips implanted in fish.

He worked hard. He worked long hours, but he also fished hard. Eric didn't say a lot on the forum. At least in that public setting, he was a man of few words.

But, if a picture is worth 10,000 words, he was a man of millions of words. He posted photograph after photo after photo of all the unbelievable muskies he had caught. When I say he was one of West Virginia's best musky anglers, I am not exaggerating. He was well-liked and had many friends – all of whom respected his fishing prowess and considered him an incredible human being.

“Make time for those you care

about,” said Scott Smith of Hurricane, one of Eric's fishing buddies. “You never know when your time or theirs is up. Eric and I were texting the day he was shot about fishing this past weekend.

I will always treasure that text.

Last one I got from him said 'the Elk looks great.'”

When I heard that Eric had died, I assumed that would be the last I would ever hear from Eric Workman. But I was very wrong.

One of my wife's friends has been on a waiting list for a new kidney for years and was in incredibly poor health, with kidney function down to 30 percent. My wife thought enough of him to have herself tested to see if she was a match. She would have given him one of her kidneys if she could, but she wasn't a match.

He would still be waiting on a life-saving kidney transplant today if it weren't for one fact – Eric Workman was an organ donor.

The call came. After all these years, a kidney was finally available. He came to Charleston and doctors put a new kidney in him.

At first, the nurses couldn't tell

him from whom this life-saving kidney came and could only say it was from someone “very special.”

Even though state trooper after state trooper came in to check on how he was doing, it took him a while to figure out where the kidney came from, but eventually he did and eventually the family did agree to let him be officially notified that he now had Eric's kidney. A woman, whose kidney function had been down to a mere 10 percent, got Eric's other kidney. Somebody got his heart, although I don't know who. Doctors can transplant bones, skin, organs, corneas – a single organ donation can help or save the lives of as many as 50 people. Eric was a young and healthy man, with young and healthy organs.

A part of him will always live on in the Elk River he loved so much.

Other parts of him live on in the bodies of others. He gave his life to keep West Virginians safe.

Even in death, he is still saving lives.

We should never forget Eric Workman.

Trout Unlimited Declaring Victory in Idaho fishery Trout Unlimited recently hailed a decision by the Idaho Department of Water Resources to deny a water permit for a proposed dam on the Oneida Narrows – a popular trout fishery on the Bear River in the southeastern portion of the state.

The IDWR denied an application by the Twin Lakes Canal Co. for a 17,300 acre feet water right, which would have been used to store water behind a proposed 108-foot high dam on the Oneida Narrows section of the Bear River, a rugged whitewater canyon that is beloved by generations of anglers, kayakers,

campers, and other outdoor enthusiasts.

"This is a major victory for a priceless native trout fishery, as well as for local anglers and other recreation users who cherish this beautiful place," said Warren Colyer, director of TU's watersheds restoration program.

West Virginia Hunter-Safety Course offered online While anyone born after Jan. 1, 1975 is required to pass a huntersafety course before they can purchase a hunting license, traditional classes fill up fast and often require several weeks of waiting for an available class.

The course, however, is now offered online – sure to be a welcomed feature for those who need to buy their first West Virginia hunting license. The course costs $24.50 and need not be completed at once. For more information, visit www.huntered.com/westvirginia.

Outdoors Roundup DNR: Hunters likely to see fewer squirrels this year West Virginia Division of Natural Resources officials say squirrel hunters likely won't find as many bushytails as they encountered during the 2011 season.

The squirrel harvest for any given year depends largely on the amount of food available to squirrels in the preceding year.

Paul Johansen, DNR assistant wildlife chief, said that a bumper crop of acorns and other nuts in 2010 made for an abundance of squirrels last year. Last year's mast crop was down, leading to less squirrel reproduction and winter survival. He said while there will still be plenty of squirrels, they won't be as numerous as last year.

This year's season began Sept.

8 – a month earlier than usual.

This is the second straight year of the early season.

National Hunting and Fishing Day events slated The West Virginia DNR and the West Virginia Wildlife Federation

will be holding the state's annual National Hunting and Fishing Day Celebration on Sept. 22 and 23 at Stonewall Resort State Park near Weston.

There will be numerous events and attractions, including archery and shotgun-shooting exhibitions, a display of trophy game and fish, fly casting and shooting. There will be a youth competition and a wild-game cooking event. For more information, visit the event's Web page at www.wvdnr.gov/hunting/nathuntfish.shtm.

West Virginia photography contest Sept. 15 Wonderful West Virginia magazine is holding a photography contest honoring West Virginia's 150th anniversary for a special issue of the magazine. The special issue will be published in June 2013, West Virginia’s sesquicentennial.

The theme of the issue will be “A Day in the Life of West Virginia.” All photos must be taken on the same day, September 15,

2012, from dawn until twilight, within the state borders.

“We’re asking photographers, professional and amateur, to head for the hills, the valleys, the rivers, the farms, the small towns, and the cities to capture images that speak eloquently of life in our Mountain State,” said Wonderful West Virginia publisher Bryan Hoffman.

Photographs must be taken in West Virginia on Sept. 15 and submitted no later than Sept. 30.

Each contributor may submit up to five photographs, which must be submitted via e-mail to photos@cannongraphicsinc.com. Include your email address and telephone number, as well as the precise time of day and place (including county) where the photograph was taken.

Cabell Midland FFA Students harvested Corn for use in County Lunches

Exhibit highlighting WV poems, calligraphy to open Sept. 17

The Cabell Midland High School Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter members recently harvested corn that they had planted this summer at the Meadows Farm. It was then prepared for use in the Cabell County Schools Food Service program.

The corn was brought in two dump truck loads and was delivered by the Cabell County Schools Maintenance Department and Milton Elementary Principal Kim Cooper, who works closely with the FFA students and their advisors Brian Clagg and Mary Phillips.

Cabell County Schools cooks then worked at the Central Office shucking, cutting, and packing the corn so it could be distributed for use in the lunch program.

A second harvest was planned. According to Assistant Superintendent Mike O’Dell, this year’s “crop is bountiful”.

CHARLESTON — A collection of calligraphic art inspired by poems written by West Virginians will be on exhibit this fall in the Culture Center’s Balcony Gallery at the State Capitol Complex in Charleston.

The West Virginia Division of Culture and History will unveil the new exhibit, “Expressions in Word: Calligraphers and Poets,” at 6 p.m. Monday, Sept 17, 2012.

The 31-piece collection features poems written by members of the Kanawha Valley Poets with corresponding calligraphic and three-dimensional art created by members of the Charleston and Huntington calligraphers’ guilds.

Visitors will see some of the implements and tools calligraphers have used since medieval times, including quills, pens and inks, as well as videotaped demonstrations of the art form, and a brief history of Western writing from hieroglyphics to modern handwriting. The exhibit also will include samples of five basic letter forms, written historical documents that use

Get into a West Virginia State Parks Cabin in September and get a discount, too SOUTH CHARLESTON – The idyllic cabin in the woods is as close as a state park or forest in West Virginia, and September is a great month to make an early fall getaway. Several state parks traditionally offer mid-week September discounts for cabin rentals to make your stay even better.

From the four-bedroom cabins at Blackwater Falls, complete with a dishwasher, washer/dryer and other amenities such as flat screen television and microwave, to the simplistic lifestyle of a pioneer cabin at Kumbrabow State Forest, inclusive of gas lights, a water pump, and a privy outback, “there is a cabin style at

state parks for every personality,” said Brad Reed, a district administrator with West Virginia’s state parks.

Cabins and cottages at Twin Falls Resort, Bluestone, Holly River, Cass Scenic Railroad, Pipestem Resort, Beech Fork, and Watoga state parks and also at Cabwaylingo, Kumbrabow and Greenbrier state forests are extending 20 percent off the standard rate for rentals of two or more nights, Sunday – Thursday in September 2012.

Cabin stays at Lost River State Park lengthen a visit with the popular “retreat to relax” option.

“Stay two nights at regular rate and the third night is fee free,”

said Mike Foster, superintendent at Lost River. “We’re quite a distance from most folks in West Virginia, so when anyone makes the trek to Lost River, they will want to spend an extra night or check out later than the normal time.”

Lost River, located in Hardy County, offers the third night free option from September 17 – November 22 and again from January 2 – May 23 in 2013. Advance reservations are required. The park features horseback riding stables, hiking, and CCC structures. www.lostriversp.com North Bend State Park, near Cairo and Harrisville, changes things a bit with a “cozy cabin getaway” that includes bike riding and boating. From September 17-27, 2012, stay two nights, Sunday – Thursday in a cabin for up to four people, get bike rentals or kayak rentals for four hours of outdoor fun, box lunches for four for a day, and a $25 gift shop voucher, for a $299 cost which includes taxes. “We see couples and friends that travel together looking for less busy times for travel in the middle of a week.

They find greater savings and a

more relaxed visit,” said Steve Jones, park superintendent.

North Bend creates and offers a wide range of lodge and cabin packages and special event weekends throughout the year. www.northbendsp.com Bluestone State Park recently rolled out a pontoon boat use that’s included with cabin rentals in September and October in addition to the September midweek discount offer.

The “Pontoon/Cabin” package varies based on cabin type and days selected, but the rate package includes a four-hour pontoon boat rental with gas and oil costs included. “Our customers have asked for packaged rates that include cabins and pontoon use and available on weekends or weekdays, and we’re happy to provide them,” said Brett McMillion, Bluestone State Park superi n t e n d e n t . www.bluestonesp.com Cacapon Resort State Park is celebrating a 75-year anniversary in 2012. “The park opened to the public July 1, 1937,” said Dave Pruitt, assistant superintendent at Cacapon Resort in West Vir-

ginia’s eastern panhandle. Our cabins range from bungalows to deluxe vacation units.” Cacapon has a Diamond Jubilee promotion that takes $75 off the total rental cost of a three or more night stay. www.cacaponresort.com Cass Scenic Railroad is not typically considered as having cabins, but the state park does have company houses. “Twentytwo of the original houses are restored and rented as overnight options,” said Rob Sovine, park superintendent at Cass Scenic Railroad. Like other state parks, Cass extends a 20 percent off rate on Sunday – Thursday rental of two or more nights. Three or more daily train trips up Cheat Mountain continue through October 28, with the exception of September 12, 13, 17, 18, 19, and 20, when train trips are not scheduled at Cass Scenic Railroad. Train trips resume Memorial Day weekend, but the company houses are rented yearround. www.cassrailroad.com Visit www.wvstateparks.com for information, events and travel accommodations.

State Supreme Court of Appeals returns to Marshall Sept. 18; public invited to attend session and hear four cases HUNTINGTON – The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals returns to Marshall University’s Huntington campus in September to conduct a session that includes four distinctive cases.

The Court’s appearance on Tuesday, Sept. 18, will be its fifth in the past eight years at Marshall, but first since 2009. It is one of the many events to be staged during Constitution Week at MU, which began Monday, Sept. 10, and concludes Thursday, Sept.

27.

The docket for the Supreme Court’s visit can be found athttp://www.courtswv.gov/supr eme-court/calendar/2012/dockets/sept-18-12ad.html. The session begins at 10 a.m. in the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center.

The public is invited and encouraged to attend the session and a reception honoring the judges which follows in the Performing Arts Center lobby. In addition to hors d’oeuvres, pizza will be served.

The five Supreme Court justices hear appeals of decisions over all matters decided in the circuit courts, including criminal

convictions affirmed on appeal from magistrate court and appeals from administrative agencies.

Menis E. Ketchum II is the Court’s chief justice. He is a former member and chairman of Marshall University’s board of governors. Other justices are Robin Jean Davis, Brent D. Benjamin, Margaret L. Workman and Thomas E. McHugh.

Obstructing an officer, negligence and first-degree murder convictions will be appealed during the session. A simple way to describe the other case to be heard, which is actually the first on the docket, is, “Can my neighbor order my dog killed?” It deals with dog-related injuries sustained by a 2-year-old girl.

“It is a very interesting docket,” said Dr. Alan Gould, director of the John Deaver Drinko Academy at Marshall, which sponsors Constitution Week activities. “We invite all students, faculty and members of the community to join us as the Court hears and rules on these noteworthy appeals.”

Constitution Week at Marshall is an annual observance to com-

memorate the adoption of the United States Constitution and the contributions of Chief Justice John Marshall, for whom the university is named. Constitution Week activities are sponsored by the John Deaver Drinko Academy.

Gould said Constitution Week was started by United States Senator Robert C. Byrd in order to draw attention to the important document that our system of government is based upon.

“Included within federal legislation that was passed in 2004 was a provision requiring educational institutions that receive federal funds to set some time aside on or near the September 17th anniversary of the document’s signing to study the United States Constitution,” he said.

On Monday, Sept. 24, as in years past, the President’s Invitational Quoits Media Challenge will take place at 11:30 a.m.

WSAZ’s Tim Irr and Keith Morehouse won the championship last year. All quoits action is on the west end of Buskirk Field. Before the quoits challenge begins, President Kopp will cut the John

Marshall birthday cake on the Memorial Student Center plaza.

Here is a brief look at other Constitution Week events: · 4:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 17 – Announcement of the winner of the Judge Dan O’Hanlon Constitution Week and John Marshall Celebration Essay competition, John Marshall Dining Room · 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 26 – First of five Amicus Curiae lectures. The guest speaker is Thomas E. Mann, author of New

York Times Bestseller, It’s Even Worse than It Looks: How The American Constitutional System Collided with the New Politics of Extremism, Marshall Foundation Hall · 12:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27 – The Robert C. Byrd Forum on Civic Responsibility. Professor Jean Edward Smith will speak on the topic, History Misconstrued: Marshall, Grant and Eisenhower, Francis-Booth Experimental Theatre.

The Cabell Standard

ROSE TERRACE FROM PAGE 1

morial closed its doors and although Rose Terrace is not replacing Morris Memorial, it begins its own era - providing residents with a loving atmosphere where they can be well cared for by a caring, well trained staff.

As with all of us, each and every resident at Rose Terrace comes with their own story – their history. These stories live through their children and grandchildren. It is the thread that ties a family together. And it is these stories, shared from resident to resident, that makes up the Rose Terrace ‘family’.

One such story is of Flora Belle Bias, Rose Terrace’s very first resident.

When Rose Terrace Health and Rehabilitation Center was trying to name their long term care unit – they decided to hold a contest. Staff members were encouraged to submit their recommendations and then residents and staff voted on the winning entry.

The winning entry was submitted by Certified Nursing Assistant Jessica McDougal, who found special meaning in connecting the name of the unit

with the facility’s very first resident, Mrs. Flora Belle Bias.

As many folks in Milton and the surrounding area know, the Bias family worked with others to start up the Milton Fire Department. The Bias family donated the property that housed the Milton fire station when it was on South Main Street and Flora Belles’ husband, Dick Bias, was an active Fire Chief.

(A lot of people will also remember that Dick Bias’ gas station was a fixture on South Main for many years).

A phone was placed in the Bias home along with an emergency switch that would send out a “whistle” to call in available volunteer fire fighters.

When a fire call came in, Flora Belle would take down the information and sound the whistle. As the fire fighters came to the station, Flora Belle would stand on the front porch and yell out the fire’s location.

One time, after receiving such a call in the middle of the night, Flora Belle flipped the switch to sound the whistle

and then forgot to turn the switch off.

Many in the town of Milton awoke as the whistle blew over a period of several minutes.

People came running from all over town to the fire station to see what was going on. At first folks thought the system had malfunctioned, but they soon learned that Flora Belle had just simply forgotten to turn the whistle off. It was from that point on that Flora’s nickname was “Whistle”.

After hearing the story, Jes-

sica McDougal came up with the idea of naming the long term unit “Whistle Lane”. Jessica, as well as many others at Rose Terrace, has gotten very close to Mrs. Flora Belle Bias a.k.a. “Whistle”.

(Operated by Tennesseebased Diversicare Management Services, which operated Morris Memorial, Rose Terrace offers post acute care, rehabilitation services as well as a memory care unit for patients with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia).
