Midland cruises past Parkersburg, 40-7 By Bishop Nash For The Cabell Standard
ONA- After starting the season with two monster victories on the road, Cabell Midland was looking to bring lightning in a bottle back to Knights Field. The gears to the Knights' high voltage offensive machine and black hole defense continued to roll as they punished the Parkersburg Big Reds 40-7. The Knights ground assault continued to overwhelm, pounding out 519 yards with tailback Kasey Thomas and fullback Teran Barnitz both rushing for over 100 yards. But following the rampageous route the 2012 Knights took to Wheeling Island in December, Friday’s performance has become what a “solid” performance looks like from the Cabell Midland home bleachers. As in 2012 and the two previous episodes in 2013, Thomas again played the role of rainmaker. The senior captain returned a punt of Parkersburg’s SEE MIDLAND ON PAGE 9

The Story of the W.Va. Pumpkin Festival MILTON – In Autumn, the first thought that comes to mind with this city is Pumpkins. And rightfully so. For nearly three decades, the fall-time fruit has painted the city orange. Toward the end of September, people know what time it is: time for The W. Va. Pumpkin Festival. A calm sits over Eastern Cabell County. But it's short-lived. Just days from now, more than 55,000 people will crowd into the area. They will drive to an 86-acre land full of fun, entertainment and of course pumpkins. -*-The Beginning-*Festival President Bill Kelley started working during the inaugural W. Va. Pumpkin Festival in 1986. About 4,000 people came. Now, 28 years later, that number has soared more than tenfold. Nearly three decades ago, fewer than 50 vendors offered goods at the festival. Now, more than 350 attend. "Back then, we started at the

MILTON – A local motocross racer recently made his dream come true. The 25-year-old dirt bike racer qualified for the largest amateur motocross race in the world: the 32nd Annual Red Bull AMA Amateur National Motocross Championship at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch in Tennessee. Jordan Oxley competed against more than 20,000 racers from across America to earn one of the 1,446 qualifying positions. “The Amateur Nationals at Loretta Lynn’s
is the event every motocross racer in the country wants to compete in,” said Event Director Tim Cotter. “A win at the Amateur Nationals gives a rider instant national notoriety and can serve as a springboard to a lucrative professional motocross career.” Many of America’s top professional motocrossers, including James Stewart, Ricky Carmichael, Travis Pastrana and Jeremy McGrath have won AMA Amateur National Championships at the Tennessee track. With the help of businesses like Appalachian Off-road Motorcycles and Cycle SEE GOAL ON PAGE 7

Brief County Meeting Yields Positive News By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
HUNTINGTON - The colors of azaleas, petunias and bleeding hearts will soon grow beauty at the Cabell County Courthouse. During a brief commission meeting, county leaders learned of the upcoming project. Good news seemed to dominate discussions in the commission chambers. First, Huntington Garden Club members Kay Ransbottom and June Ashworth approached the full audience. "We are going to place a Blue Star Memorial marker in the ground with concrete and build a flower garden around it," said Ashworth. The area is toward the north side of the courthouse, near the
main entrance. "That area is shaded, so we plan to plant rhododendrons, pansies, azaleas and annuals," she said. "We want to put foliage in with color." The flowers will magnify the Blue Star Memorial marker, a monument to veterans and those serving the country. Nearby places that have them include the Veterans Home in Barboursville and at 16th Street in Huntington. "I think this will look beautiful and add color," said Ashworth. Commissioners agreed. "Thank you for what you're doing," Commissioner Bob Bailey said. Bailey made a motion to approve the request to overhaul the marker and place maintenance of it in the hands of courthouse workers.
The commission approved. In other discussions, Cabell County EMS Director A. Gordon Merry provided the audience with news of a $15,582 credit he received from a change order from MIRC Construction Services for EMS Station No. 8. "Everything was in order and we're very happy," he said. Commissioner President Nancy Cartmill responded, "Usually a change order means something is going to cost you more money, so this is great." Next, County Manager Chris Tatum informed commissioners on a state budget revision that translates to a reimbursement from a past project. Commissioners ended the brief meeting with an executive session on personnel matters. The next Cabell County Commission meeting is 10 a.m. Sept. 26.

September is National Preparedness Month! This September: You Can be the HERO! Be Informed, Make a Plan, Build a Kit, and Get Involved It is a time to prepare yourself and those in your care for emergencies and disasters. If you’ve seen the news recently, you know that emergencies can happen unexpectedly at any time in your community such as floods, power outages, and severe weather of all kinds. Police, fire and rescue may not always be able to reach you quickly in an emergency or disaster. The most important step
you can take in helping your local responders is being able to take care of yourself and those in your care; the more people who are prepared, the quicker the community will recover. This September, please prepare and plan in the event you must go for three days without electricity, water service, and access to a grocery store, bank, or other local services for several days. Just follow these four steps: Stay Informed: Information is
available from federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial resources.

WeeklyDevotional By Mary Jane “TIME, TIME, AND MORE TIME” Thought for the week: My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope. Job 7:6. (KJV) Have you ever sat and watched someone knit or crochet, observing how fast a needle and thread can move in a pair of hands? That’s how time seems to be passing us each day of life. We arise each morning, go into the day, noontime is here, then too soon evening dusk approaches. Another day has come and gone, same as the months; seems only yesterday we noticed the daffodils tall slender stem emerge out of the ground, then saw the bright yellow flowers bloom. September, the tenth month is here! Only three more months to this years ending. What have you accomplished in your life this year?
Did your secret New Year resolution get done or will it hold over till the next year. We eat faster, we drive faster on highways, we visit briefly - because we have something else to do. People. including myself, remind me of a gerbil pet that my granddaughter Emily had in an aquarium for several years. GIZMO would climb on this little green spinning wheel, going around and around, hundreds of times a day - but never coming to an end - till one day, he did succumb to the end of his life cycle. Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. What does this mean? Do we need to take more time for each other, call or visit someone in hospital? No, don’t wait until they’re in hospital, call them now! Unfortunately time is not in a
The Cabell Standard bottle, like the lyrics in this song written by the late Jim Croce, who died in an airplane crash, at the age of thirty years old: “Time in a Bottle’’ If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing that I’d like to do, Is to save every day, till eternity passes away, Just to spend them with you. There used to be a quote on the wall, of the ladies room, in Jim Tweel’s Spaghetti House: Yesterday is the Past Tomorrow is the Future Today is a Gift – that’s why it is called the Present. He hath made everything beautiful in his time; also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

Christian's Sports Beat: : WV Power Make It to Playoffs
By: Christian Deiss
CHARLESTON, WV - After posting a South Atlantic League (SAL) Northern Division regular season best 82 – 58 record, the West Virginia Power made it to the league playoffs. The 82 wins also tied a franchise record. In the opening round of the post season, the Power faced the visiting Hagerstown Suns at Appalachian Power Park. In game one of the best of three-game series, the Suns beat the Power 6 1. Before game one I talked to Power Manager Mike Ryan about what the playoff atmosphere was like, “Every playoff game I have been involved in, it’s a lot different than the regular season. It’s a lot louder and a lot more fun to play in.” As a player, the firstyear Power skipper played in the American League Division Series with the Minnesota Twins three times and the American League Championship Series one time also with the Twins and eight times in the minors. Game two saw the Power tie the series at a game apiece by winning 6 – 3 in 11 innings in
Hagerstown, setting up a third game winner take all match-up. On the mound for the second game for the Power was rookie right-hander John Kuchno, who told me what it’s like playing in the playoffs, “It’s an honor, it’s a lot of hard work paying off for the team. I played in the Big Ten Conference playoffs last year at Ohio State. It’s a lot of fun. The stakes are higher but that is why you play the whole regular season.” Power right fielder Josh Bell led the Power with four runs batted in, in game two. Bell and teammate Tyler Glasnow, a righthanded starting pitcher, were selected to the SAL end of the season All-Star team as the best players at their respective positions during the regular season. Ryan had high praise for the young duo, “Both of those guys have made the most improvement from the beginning of the year, to the end of the season and they deserve to be on the All-Star team. I am very happy and proud to be able to have managed them this year.” Bell finished the regular season hitting .279 with 13 home runs and 76 runs batted in. Glasnow was 9 -3 with an earned run average of 2.18 and led the SAL with 164 strikeouts, which was also a Power record. In the third and deciding game of the opening round, the Power fell to the Suns 6 – 2, sending them home for the 2013 season. Power left-fielder Jon Schwind told me how much fun it’s been playing for the team this season, “It’s probably the most fun I have

So regardless how you do as an individual, we played as a team and that’s really all that matters.” Kuchno agreed, “It’s been a lot of fun. Since day one we have had a good group of guys, never taking any one game for granted. I just got to enjoy baseball again. I felt last year at school I put a lot of pressure on myself because it was my draft year and it was just time to play ball again and help the team.” Ryan shares his play-
ers opinion on the season, “It’s been so much fun, these guys not only have they become better players, but they have become better people also. The things they have been doing off the field in the community has been outstanding. They are a very close knit type of team; it’s been fun watching them. “ I think the Power players played hard this season and I had fun watching and talking to the team. The first game at Appalachian Power Park for the 2014 season is set for April 10 as

Changes on campus include demolition of Hodges Hall, ban on tobacco; construction projects well under way HUNTINGTON, WV - The start of the fall semester at Marshall University is always a time of change on the Huntington campus. Yesterday, the first day of classes, was no exception as thousands of students quickly discovered. The most eye-catching change this fall is in the center of campus where green space, along with new lights, trees and sidewalks, has replaced Hodges Hall, which was demolished this summer. The location where Hodges Hall, a former men’s dormitory, stood for 76 years is now open, presenting a splendid view of both ends of campus from that area. Hodges Hall had become too expensive to maintain and was not air conditioned, and students had not lived there since 2007. Marshall’s men and women now play their home soccer matches at the new Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex on 5th Avenue, where Veterans Memorial Field House once stood. Athletic Director Mike Hamrick said the Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex is one of the best soccer venues in the country. The facility was officially dedicated and the field named in honor of the Jeff Hoops Family as Marshall's women's team played the first regular-season game there last Friday, defeating Campbell University, 3-0. Marshall officially became a tobacco-free university June 11 when the tobacco ban was approved. Signs have been placed throughout campus, reminding students, staff, faculty and visitors of the tobacco ban, which went into effect July 1. If part of Joan C. Edwards Stadium looks larger this fall to Herd fans, it’s probably because four sky suites have been added to the top of the press box. Also, getting from the concourse to the press box or sky suites will be easier and quicker, thanks to repairs made on the two existing

elevators and the addition of a third elevator. Marshall plays at home at 7 p.m. Saturday, taking on Miami (Ohio). Of course, and most importantly, an estimated 2,500-3,000 new students – freshmen and transfers – will be enrolled in classes this fall. That number includes a new group of international students, representing the first class of the new INTO Marshall Program. Marshall has partnered with INTO, a private company that forms joint partnerships with leading universities around the world to expand opportunities for higher education. Its offices on Marshall’s campus are in the former Marshall Community and Technical College building, which was renovated this year at
Stadium. · renovation projects in the Gullickson Hall wellness center, Old Main rooms 213 and 310, Harris Hall room 448 and Smith Hall. In Smith Hall, the College of Arts and Media established a Student Success Center near the Birke Art Gallery on the first floor. Tammy Reynolds, director of the center, said it is a place where students in the College of Arts and Media can go specifically for advice regarding their major. About 10 smart classroom upgrades consisting of new furniture, new white boards, painting, cleaning and repairing ceilings took place. Sidewalks and lights were replaced on 3rd Avenue, and new flowers were planted around campus. Total cost of these renovations and upgrades was about $435,000. Jim Terry, director of public safety at MU, said no changes
a cost of $2.3 million. Also this summer, work continued or has begun on: · construction of the $50 million Arthur Weisberg Family Applied Engineering Complex, located on Third Avenue between the Arthur Weisberg Family Engineering Laboratories and the Robert C. Byrd Biotechnology Science Center. The project is expected to be completed in spring 2015. · a $13 million renovation of the former Stone & Thomas building in downtown Huntington to create a state-of-the-art educational space for Marshall’s visual arts program. The center will house studios and classrooms, plus ground-floor retail and gallery space. The expected completion date is June 1, 2014. · construction of an Indoor Practice Facility, Sports Medicine Translational Research Center, Hall of Fame Atrium and Student-Athlete Academic Center next to the Joan C.

During the past four months, Oxley tuned his bike and logged countless hours, testing and practicing. The hard work paid off. He qualified at the regional competition and made it. Oxley remains humble about the accomplishment. To him, it's just about pursuing what he loves. Now that competing nationally is added to his resume', Oxley will continue to race. Fans can listen to the whining out of his custom dirt bike
throughout the South and Northeast. They can find him soaring over table top jumps and maneuvering across whoops at tracks in Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia where he still competes in the Mega Series. One mother will always be there to cheer him on, regardless of a win or a loss. "The entire family is proud of Jordan," she said. "As his mother, I just pray for his safety each and every race."

Faithfulness My Dad has a twin sister named Betty but she has since gone on to be with the Lord and so has her husband Thomas. Thomas and Betty were very faithful to the Lord and to their church on Charlies Creek Road in Culloden. I remember Thomas leading the singing in the church and he was always there. My cousin Patty played the piano and my Aunt Betty learned to play later in life. When we did attend church as children that is where we went. Our Sunday school teacher, Corella Freeman taught us about the love of Christ and what he did on the cross for us. I remember her as the very first Sunday school teacher I ever had. Most of us who were fortunate to have her should remember her and send her a card and say “thank you� for teaching us about Jesus. My sister Retha and my little sister Sue also went there. We went with Corella’s boys and the McCallister kids out that way. We all had a good time. There were the Beckett children and the Hagers and all the ones around at that time and we all went to school together. We had such good times and when August comes around I remember the homecoming dinners around the middle of the month. I usually see everyone there near my Great-Uncle Charlie's birthday which is August 18th. Uncle Charlie liked birthday cards but especially belated ones. He would send me a belated birthday card so his would stand out from all the others. Isn't it great to have fond memories of our childhoods and remember the people who were always at their posts? Think of all the people back then that were faithful to the Lord and others. I love the movie “It's a Wonderful life.� I usually watch it around Christmas time each year. The lesson learned from that movie is, you are someone special and you are important in this life. God has a plan for your life and if you had not been born the world would be a much sadder place. God does not make mistakes and every life is a life which should be lived for Him and others. I'm glad my aunt and uncle were faithful.
GOAL FROM PAGE 1 Center of Huntington, Oxley was able to see his dream become reality. In early August, the young man ventured to Tennessee and competed. Family and friends cheered on their hometown racer. Sue Oxley remembered back to when her son, just out of diapers, began riding dirt bikes. "Jordan has been racing since he was 4-years-old," she said. "He followed in his dad Rick’s footsteps." Rick still races from time to time. Family and friends never knew Oxley would climb the ladder of success and compete in the national level. To the local dirt bike racer, competing on the track has always been a passion. Oxley does it simply because he loves it. "Motocross is definitely one of my passions," he said. "It was thrilling and exciting to complete on the national level."

Community News The Cabell Standard Gambling Addiction 2013 WV Pumpkin Treatment Group Offers Festival Little Mister Weekend Program CHARLESTON, WV- The Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia is hosting a free weekend workshop for problem gamblers and their loved ones.

Fire Destroys Milton Home By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON - Flames devoured a home on the 1100 block of Church Street Saturday afternoon. At 12:30 p.m., smoke poured from the burning brick structure. Milton and Ona firefighters rushed to the one-story house. It took the crew more than one hour to extinguish the fire. Cabell County EMS officials arrived to find the house vacant. No injuries were reported. Neighbors sat along the curb to watch firefighters dowse the house with water. "Our preliminary investigation showed the fire started in the closet of the back bedroom, near a light fixture, then spread to the attic," said Asst. State Fire Marshal Tim Chastain. "The fire was through the roof when we got here." Through the wood-studded ceiling and interior walls, the fire roared. This posed a dangerous situation for firefighters. "The challenge was putting it out on the attic level - the ceiling falling down can be a huge problem," said Chastain. "We attacked it both offensively and defensively where some hit it from the

The house was built in 1968 and Rita Petty resided there. Fortunately, she had left the house just minutes before the flames overtook it. "I had just been gone ten minutes," the shocked woman said. "I came down the street and saw smoke." Milton Mayor Tom Canterbury watched his city's fire department spring into action. He was proud of the firefighters' effort.
"Kudos to the Milton Fire Department," Canterbury said. "They do well." The homeowners had a cat in the house at the time of the fire. Fortunately, two men dressed as Batman and Captain America rescued and resuscitated the pet shortly before rescue teams arrived. The heroes came from a nearby American Legion carnival. By 1 p.m., insurance agents approached the home and declared it a total loss.

In the late 90s, the team acquired the property. "There's been steady growth ever since we got the property," Kelley said. "Each year we've added and expanded." First, crews created an office building. Then, a maintenance building was added. In 1997, the main piece of the puzzle was put into place: Mud River Covered Bridge. Crews placed the 138-year-old structure across Blake Pond at the park. It is now synonymous with the Pumpkin Festival, weddings and photography. "It's a tremendous asset to the park," Kelley said. The bridge was like a gateway, leading to more. More people, entertainment, vendors and growth. In 2010, the festival added one element that was like Miracle Grow for the park: the 12,000square-foot Milton Performing Arts Center or MPAC. Since its unveiling, national recording artists and bands have graced local audiences.
-*-Now-*After all these years, what continues to drive Kelley's work at the festival? The answer is humbling. "It's my love for the community," he responded. "I want to give back to see Milton and surrounding areas grow." Kelley continued, "The future is our kids and I want them to have a place they can be proud of." -*-New Growth-*In two weeks, multitudes of people from across the country will pour into Pumpkin Park. An extended office, new gift shop, landscape improvement, entertainment upgrades and roadway enhancements will greet them. More than 350 vendors will offer everything from custom art to pumpkin pie. Every year has a specific theme. This year is "Pumpkin Dynasty." It will include a Duck Dynasty look-a-like contest and custom pumpkins.
-*- It's Pumpkin Time-*The city is gearing up for the days ahead. Police officers will help control the flow of traffic during the fourday event. From Oct. 3 to 6, nearly 60,000 visitors will drive into Milton. On Thursday and Friday, Oct. 3 and 4, thousands of students from across the state will ride into the park to paint and carve one-of-a-kind pumpkins. Rain or shine; cold or hot, the festival will draw people like a magnet - the same as it has for the past 28 years. Kelley stands outside his office and looks over the 86 acres of Pumpkin Park. An orange shirt with "Pumpkin Festival" stitched on it covers him. He looks toward the covered bridge, the new office addition, the motocross track and the performing arts center. Kelley pauses to take it all in. "It's a good feeling to know what was started in 1986 has grown to its potential," he said. "There's still room to grow."

American Legion offers day of fun By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON - The American Legion hosted a carnival for the community Saturday afternoon. From 1 to 5 p.m., children and families enjoyed inflatables, candy and refreshments. Boys and girls jumped inside Hubie Hatfield's custom racecar. "Every time they have a function, I bring the car down here - I think it's a good thing and fun for the kids," he said. The longtime mechanic has been a member of the American Legion Post 139 since 1979. The establishment provides a family atmosphere like no other, Hatfield said. "This is a place for families and kids of Milton," he said. "We have a nice organization here." The local American Legion currently has 350 vets. The Post accepts anyone who wants to join. "We take veterans and people

Post member Jeff Smith spoke about the importance of supporting the American Legion.
"It's really important," he said. "We have older vets passing away and we're trying to get young vets to see what we have to offer." Smith continued, "This organization has been going for years and years - it's a good place to come talk and a good place to be."

During past years, the local American Legion has helped in the police department's drug program for area schools, little league sports and area residents
in need. The organization's next event is a community-wide Halloween Party and costume contest in October. Post 139 is located at 1207 Main St. For more information and to join, call (304) 743-3149.
