“The Silver Bridge Disaster of 1967” available at Museum October 1st

The people along the Ohio River near the town of Point Pleasant, WV, had long wished for a bridge. The river was not overly wide, but reaching the other side was difficult and sometimes impossible. In 1927 the area’s prayers seemed to be answered when construction of a bridge between Point Pleasant, WV and Kanauga, OH began. When completed the bridge was called the “Silver Bridge”.

On December 15, 1967, at the height of rush hour the Silver Bridge collapsed. Forty six people lost their lives that night. Almost everyone in the area and for SEE BRIDGE ON PAGE 4

Groundbreaking set for new Barboursville Ambulance Station

By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

HUNTINGTON – A groundbreaking ceremony has been set for Friday, Sept. 21, at 1 p.m. for a new ambulance station to be built in Barboursville.

The groundbreaking was set after the Cabell County Commission voted at its Thursday, Sept. 13 meeting, to award the bid to build the ambulance station to MIRC Construction Services LLC of Hurricane.

MIRC Construction was the low bidder on the project with a bid of $1,498,000. In all, 10 companies submitted bids for the project.

Following the vote to award the contract and the scheduling of the groundbreaking, Cabell County EMS Director Gordon

This 2.4 acre site on Riverview Drive in Barboursville will soon be home to a new ambulance station. A groundbreaking ceremony for the new station is set for Friday, Sept. 21, at 1 p.m. Photo by Jack Bailey Merry said that he was pleased that the project was finally becoming a reality.

Merry said that he has

wanted to have an ambulance station in Barboursville for several years and had been working actively for the past two

years to make it a reality.

“This is something that I feel strongly about that should have been done a long time ago,” Merry said.

Once the new station is completed the county should not need to build any additional ambulance stations for the foreseeable future, he said.

The new Barboursville ambulance station will be the eighth ambulance station in the county. It will be located on Riverview Drive in Barboursville.

Friday's groundbreaking will take place on the site of the new station. The public is invited to attend.

Cabell Midland outlasts South Charleston, 28-13

By Bishop Nash For The Cabell Standard

ONA- While all the hype orbited around Cabell Midland's “three-headed knightmare” in the backfield, it wasn't a mountain of scoring that sealed it for the Knights. The defense rose and dried up South Charleston's own electric offense while forcing four turnovers as Midland fought off the Black Eagles 28-13 at Knights Field on Friday.

“We're not going to score 40 points a game. That's just not how it is,” said head coach Luke Salmons, “We've just got to learn how to take over the game.”

The three-pronged rushing attack of seniors Lowell Farley, David Gaydosz, and Stephen Matthews developed another weapon as Kasey Thomas re-

turned from injury. The junior running back was a vital asset to the Midland offense in 2011 and finished Friday's game with both a rushing and a receiving touchdown.

“It's the best feeling I've had all year,” Thomas said, “I was so hyped up today.”

The Knights drew first blood midway through the first quarter when Gaydosz ripped off a 15yard touchdown run.

The defense forced South Charleston to punt, and on the next drive Farley punched in a 3yard run early in the second quarter. The 5'10, 215 pound back became Cabell Midland alltime leading rusher last week and finished with 145 yards on 20 carries.

“Lowell's always going to get his yards,” Salmons said, “He's

hard to handle. One guy's not going to bring him down.”

Thomas started his welcome back party with a bang midway through the second when sophomore quarterback Coy Pettit hit him with a 52-yard touchdown bomb.

“It's just an added dimension we've got and it's good to have him back,” Salmons said.

South Charleston got on the board late in the second when senior running back Trevond Reese slipped in on an 8-yard touchdown carry. The two-point conversion failed, and the score set 21-6 at the half.

Both offenses stagnated at times in the second-half, but Midland was able to slam the door on the Black Eagles attacks.

South Charleston quarterback Johnathon Alexander would be

intercepted three times in the half, all three in Midland territory. The first of which fell into the hands of Matthews late in the third and set up a 10-yard touchdown run by Thomas. South Charleston kept it with seconds left in the quarter when senior running back Ken Haynes busted out on a 39-yard run.

When the Knights offense began to sputter in the fourth, the defense became the heroes.

The Black Eagles again coughed up the ball in Knights territory when Isaac Gibson recovered a fumble for Cabell Midland.

Alexander would through two more interceptions to Midland's Alex Childers and Kameron Stapleton, and buzzer rang with the Knight holding on top.

In other news at the Commission's Sept. 21 meeting, commissioners voted to approve the annexation of 49.17 acres of land into the city of Milton.

Milton Mayor Tom Canterbury said that the property is adjacent to the Morris Memorial Hospital property and that the property owner wanted to be brought into the city limits.

Also at the Sept. 13 meeting, commissioners heard a report from Ralph Taylor, executive director of the Cabell County Solid Waste Authority.

Taylor said that a recycling program that began in the county last November has been so successful that he would like to see it expand.

Currently, there are four drop off recycling locations in the city of Huntington and four spread around the county, including drop off points in Milton and Barboursville.

Taylor said that he would like

to expand the program by adding additional drop off points in Culloden, Salt Rock and the Westmoreland area of Huntington.

In order to do that, Taylor said that he needed additional funds. Last year, the county contributed $5,000 to the program, as did the City of Huntington.

To grow the program, Taylor said that he would like the county to consider a $20,000 contribution for the coming year.

The Commission took no immediate action on Taylor's request.

In other news at the Sept. 13 meeting, the commission approved $1,500 in funds for American Legion Post 16 to be used for building a handicap ramp at their meeting hall.

The Commission also approved $1,500 in Hotel Occupancy Tax Funds to go to the

West Virginia Hot Dog Festival.

The Commission also approved Community Participation Grants of $8,000 for the Huntington Museum of Art and $2,500 for the United Way – Substance Abuse Prevention program.

The Commission also approved the following personnel matters: • The employment of Keith Vinton as a full-time clerk; • The employment of Shayna Frye as a full-time paramedic; • The reclassification of Steven Payne to full-time paramedic; • The reclassification of Connie Priddy to full-time compliance officer; • The reclassification of Brittney Atteberry to temporary full-time telecommunicator; • The reclassification of Jonathan Jones to temporary full-time telecommunicator.

We could hardly have a series of columns on Figurative Language without the topic of the metaphor coming up.

A metaphor is an implicit comparison made between two things which are not alike. There are several forms of metaphor: A. Both the literal and figurative form is named: ex. “A letter is solid, love a dream”. B. The literal term is named and the figurative implied: ex. “The rose’s scent hung in the air/ as temptation remembered”. C. The literal implied and the figurative named: ex. “It cooled in the rumpled flowers / as if heat existed no more”. D. Both literal and figurative are implied: ex. “It danced without touching ground /screamed from lips which were not there / then coupled with destruction”.

Metaphors used correctly can elevate and add another dimension to your poetry, they are not difficult to use, just practice.

Until next time, keep reading and writing. You can send your poetry to the above address or email it to: cabellputnampoetry@hotmail.com

What burning zeal she dares ignite; she sows those thistle seeds in spite, and mocks our pain as we proceed to pull the weeds.

If all our birds have taken flight and blooms once lush are shriveled tight; if summer fields stand choked in weed and nature scalds us with her

Governor and First Lady Tomblin Invite West Virginia Artists to Create Special Hand-Crafted Ornaments for Governor’s Holiday Tree

Tuesday,September 18,2012 – Page 5

Velma’s View

By Velma Kitchens

CHARLESTON — West Virginia artists of all ages are invited to create ornaments for the second annual “artistree” at the Governor’s Mansion this upcoming holiday season.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and First Lady Joanne Jaeger Tomblin plan to showcase the artwork to everyone who will visit the mansion during the holidays.

Artists throughout the state are encouraged to hand craft ornaments suitable for hanging on a 14-foot tree. Ornaments made for each year’s tree will be kept at the Governor’s Mansion for future use.

Participating artists also will be featured in a commemorative catalog and invited to an opening celebration at the mansion.

Last year 84 artists from across the state submitted 113 ornaments that will again grace the first family’s tree along with the new submissions.

The first lady said she was inspired by the tremendous creativity of last year’s artists.

“The beautiful wooden, glass, clay and textile ornaments that we received are part of a really unique West Virginia collection,” said First Lady Joanne Jaeger Tomblin. “I can’t wait to see what our artists share with us this year.”

Submissions, which are due by Nov. 23, must include a short biography of the artist and a description of the ornament.

Submission forms are available on the West Virginia Division of Culture and History’s website at www.wvculture.org/arts, the governor’s website at www.governor.wv.gov, the first lady’s website at www.firstlady.wv.gov or at the Culture Center at the State Capitol Complex in Charleston.

Ornaments can be mailed to the attention of Glen Reed, director of operations, West Virginia Governor’s Mansion, 1716

Kanawha Blvd. E., Charleston, W.Va., 25305. They also can be hand-delivered to Jeff Pierson, director of arts for the West Virginia Division of Culture and History, at the Culture Center.

For more information, contact Pierson at (304) 558-0240 or at jeff.a.pierson@wv.gov.

The West Virginia Division of Culture and History is an agency within the West Virginia Department of Education and the Arts with Kay Goodwin, Cabinet Secretary.

Slower Last week while driving home, I was two cars behind a tractor on Route 60. The tractor of course was slower than the cars and the people in front of me were trying to pass the tractor. In such a hurry.

I began to think of the old days when people worked on the farms and the tractors were a natural sight to see. I guess the way of life was slower without more modern conveniences.

People seemed to have more time for each other and their neighbors, so I am told.

My Mom said when she was a child, people would walk for several miles to take a sick person something to eat. When a person passed away people would gather around and mourn with the family. I don’t think we do that today. I don’t know if people even mourn over someone else’s loss.

Times have changed and the faster we go, the faster we want to go.

Time has a way of catching up with us and one of these days I guess we will be moving a little slower also.

West Virginia Big Buck Contest Begins with Bow Season

By Mary Jane “SENIORS TOGETHER” Thought for the week: They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing. Psalm 92:14 (KJV) If you ever attend a senior center, where ladies and gentlemen gather to meet, greet and eat, you will find within a short time of conversation just how lonely some people are in this life.

This is a government project for our state that should be commended for creating centers where the golden age group and others can gather with each other and talk of interests they have in common.

Some may have children out of state or close friends who have passed on or who are physically unable to drive, work or visit any more. Getting out of the house and talking to someone else is good therapy, recommended by most doctors any time, but especially during the coming months of inclement weather.

Many widows and widowers attend these daily, have a nourishing lunch and often go on a scheduled bus trip. They also gather and participate in bingo games, listen to a local band, sing, dance and just reminisce of earlier days with laughter.

We all miss that spouse or those loved ones when age comes faster than time for us. But I think God heals the broken hearted and wants us to enjoy our later years with fun and merriment.

What better way to begin or end a day than by attending one of these senior citizen centers. There is no specific age bracket, if you want to make a new friend or meet with an old friend. People still need one another. It’s the enrichment of life.

Prayer: Our Father, thank you that we reach our so-called golden years, which come quicker than expected. Guide us then to enjoy being with others as much as we did as youth. Amen.

FRENCH CREEK – The September 29 opening of the bow hunting season for deer also marks the beginning of the annual West Virginia Big Buck Contest. Antlered deer taken between September 29 and December 31, 2012, are eligible to be scored and entered.

“During this time, any hunter who bags a deer in West Virginia with antlers having eight or more points, a 26-inch beam length and points that are more than eight inches long may have a winning buck,” according to Gene Thorn, chairman of the West Virginia Big Buck Contest Review Committee. “Antlers will be measured according to the official scoring system for North American big game animals established by the Boone and Crockett Club.”

Plaques will be awarded to eight overall first place winners for typical and non-typical bucks in gun, bow, muzzleloader and crossbow (physically challenged)

categories at next year’s National Hunting and Fishing Day Celebration, which will be held at Stonewall Resort State Park on the fourth weekend in September.

Gun and muzzleloader hunters whose bucks score more than 140 points typical or 165 non-typical will receive certificates commemorating the entry of their bucks into the West Virginia Big Buck Contest and Records Keeping Program. Bowhunters or physically challenged crossbow hunters whose bucks score more than 125 points typical or 155 non-typical will also receive certificates.

There were 105 new entries into the Big Buck Records last year that were taken during the 2011 season. The season total showed 28 bucks taken by gun hunters, two by muzzleloaders, 23 by bowhunters and two by crossbows (physically challenged). Bucks taken in previous years may still be scored for a cer-

tificate and entry into the records, if they meet the minimum score.

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR), Izaak Walton League of West Virginia, West Virginia Bowhunter’s Association, West Virginia MuzzleAssociation, West loader’s Virginia Physically Challenged Advisory Board and Toyota are again sponsoring the contest.

An Official Measurers List is maintained on the DNR’s website: www.wvdnr.gov/hunting/BigBuckContest.shtm, or contact any DNR district office. Phone numbers and addresses are listed in the 2012-2013 West Virginia Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary.

Appointments must be made for scoring trophies. Many hunters have their deer scored by a team of official measurers during the West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Show, which is held in late January at the Charleston Civic Center.

CABELL MIDLAND FROM PAGE 1 “South Charleston's got a good team. In the off-season, that's who we felt like was going to be the best on our schedule,” Salmons said.

But it was clear the the specter of what was the come next week was already looming.

The classic Cabell County rivalry between Huntington and Cabell Midland takes an added twist in 2012, as both teams will enter the contest undefeated.

“I'm ready to go now. I don't even care,” Thomas said, “As soon as that clock hit zero, I was ready to go for Huntington.

The Knights (4-0) will take the short trip to Bob Sang Field and take on the Huntington Highlanders (4-0) on Friday. Kickoff is at 7:30.

Weekend of outdoor events at National Hunting and Fishing Day Celebration September 22 and 23 at Stonewall Resort State Park ROANOKE, WV – The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR), together with the West Virginia Wildlife Federation, will be hosting West Virginia’s Annual Celebration of National Hunting and Fishing Day (NH&FD) on Sept. 22 and 23. The event will again be held at Stonewall Resort State Park near Weston, conveniently located off Exit 91 of Interstate 79.

“National Hunting and Fishing Day is designed to appeal to outdoor enthusiasts of any age – and is especially beneficial to young hunters and anglers, as well as those who enjoy non-consumptive outdoor pursuits,” said DNR Director Frank Jezioro. “NH&FD is the largest, single-weekend outdoor-oriented event in the state, and is something not to be missed!”

“We are very excited about the line-up of seminars and activities for this year,” stated NH&FD Event Coordinator Krista Snodgrass. “Of course, we are very happy to bring back the outstanding archery showman Byron Ferguson. Byron’s unparalleled

archery performances leave audiences speechless as he shoots aspirins and other aerial targets.

We’ll also have an exciting shotgun shooting exhibition by Tom Knapp. We’re proud to have both of these outstanding and famous shooters at the same location for the first time.”

Visitors also can check out displays including the West Virginia Big Buck Display and West Virginia Trophy Fish Display, which showcase some of the largest deer and fish taken in the state.

“Our celebration is especially beneficial to young people, and we encourage youth attendance by keeping prices low and by providing two action-packed days of youth activities,” said Snodgrass.

“The Outdoor Youth Challenge, which is a youth expo and competition relating to wildlife, hunting, fishing, firearms safety and outdoor recreation, has expanded even more this year. The Outdoor Youth Challenge is perhaps the most important event at National Hunting and Fishing Day, because for some youngsters this may be the only opportunity they will

have to be exposed to these fun and exciting outdoor activities.”

Adults and supervised youth can participate in a variety of free, hands-on activities including archery, muzzleloader shooting, .22 caliber shooting, skeet (shotgun) shooting, fly casting, and many other activities.

The popular wild game cooking event will illustrate how wild game is prepared from the woodlot to the dinner table. In addition to demonstrations of proper techniques for field dressing and skinning deer, skilled professionals will demonstrate how to cut and prepare the wild game while professional chefs prepare their favorite recipes.

Visitors don’t have to leave the premises to satisfy their hunger as vendors will be selling a variety of food. They can also taste free samples of game from on-site cooking demonstrations.

For more information on NH&FD, including a complete schedule, description of activities, and an event map, go to the website at: www.wvdnr.gov/hunting/nathuntfish.shtm.

White bass often overlooked

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

Some people are die-hard musky anglers. Others spend their lives pursuing black bass and for some, catfish is their main quarry. Trout have had a loyal following for millennia.

You don't see many die-hard white bass anglers. In fact, I'm the only one I can think of.

During the years I lived in Parkersburg, Ohio River white bass were my main quarry for most of the year. Every year, I followed the same schedule – carp with a fly-

rod from January to March, freshwater drum on twisty-tail jigs from March till June and white bass on the flyrod from June until December.

White bass have white sides and bottom - thus the name – with dark narrow stripes running lengthwise on the sides. Most of them are around 10 to 12 inches long. The largest one I ever caught (it was a trophy citation fish) was 2.31 pounds and 15.25 inches long.

They are found all over the Mississippi River drainage. You'll find them in the Kanawha and anything that drains into the Kanawha, at least up to the first riffle.

White bass are nice, lively fighters, but they certainly aren't going to put up a fight like a fourpound smallmouth, they just don't get that big. What I really love about white bass is if you know how to find them fishing can be incredible when you do.

Normally, you'll catch a white bass here and there, but if you happen on a white-bass feeding frenzy, it gets very, very interesting. Bubba Holt (he's now a crew member for the TV show “Fly Rod

Chronicles”) and I fished the Little Muskingum at the Devola dam tailwaters once and literally caught 200 white bass in about three hours. I have actually run into situations many times where I've caught nothing over a hundred yards off shore or more, then found a spot where I could catch one every third cast.

When you're fishing for black bass or most other warmwater species, you look for structure, such as logs, rocks or weeds. With white bass, you're looking for shad. Find the shad, you'll find the white bass.

An obvious place for shad congregation is at the tailwaters of a dam or the first rapid on a tributary fish encounter as they swim up from the Kanawha, such as the falls on Coal River – although I've yet to fish that to see what's there.

In Parkersburg, my favorite place to fish was at Point Park, at the mouth of the Little Kanawha River. I don't know if the new park structure the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built there has changed how the water flows, but during the years I fished it, the current along shore actually

went up the Ohio River for about 80 yards above the mouth of the Little Kanawha. Shad came out of the mouth of the Kanawha and went upriver – with the current – along the shore. Once that slack backwards current turned and went downstream, presumably the shad went with it.

About this time of year, the shad would really start moving.

They stay close to the surface and are easy to see when moving in large schools. First you'll notice a numerous slight disturbances in a long line at the top of the water and larger bumps in the water when bass come up through the school to feed. If it's sunny, you'll see the flash of their bodies as the sunlight gleams off them. They'd be packed tight as sardines in a can in a line about three feet deep and three feet wide - and they would come out in those numbers for days, maybe even weeks.

Since I moved here this year, I've seen large numbers of shad coming out of the Elk River and going down the Kanawha in similar fashion.

But shad are also moving up at the same time and I don't really understand this, but they still -

even when most of them are moving downstream – are going up, because they will still collect at falls or dams. I don't understand why, it might be the ones going down are threadfin shad they die when water drops below 45 degrees, so they have to migrate to more open water – and gizzard shad going up.

When I fish a line of moving shad. I cast beyond the shad, and then work my fly into the shad school. While in the shad, I let it drop down below the school and give a slow, jerky retrieve, like a shad might if his swim bladder were damaged. Bass hang out below the shad and attack up, so if you drop just below the shad your fly or lure will stick out to them like a sick elk does to a wolf when it drops behind the herd.

They are good eating, although you may want to check out the state fish consumption advisories if you plan to eat them more than a few times each year. I would eat white bass from the Ohio River maybe a couple of times a year.

Outdoors Roundup

West Virginia man dies from rodent-carried virus A West Virginia man is the latest to die from a rare disease contracted in the wilds of Yosemite National Park in California. The Kanawha-Charleston Health Department has declined to release the name, age or gender of the deceased.

Two others have died from the rare Hantavirus disease after visiting Yosemite – a total of eight people are known to have been infected since June. The disease is spread by contact with infected rodents – primarily deer mice – via mice droppings and urine.

It can take up to six weeks for symptoms of the virus to show – although typically they begin about three weeks after exposure.

Early symptoms include fatigue, fever and body aches and progress to severe difficulty breathing.

The virus was discovered during an outbreak in the early 1990s, which infected dozens of people in the Southwest.

DNR using spotlights for deer census West Virginia Division of Natural Resources Biologists are using spotlights to count deer throughout West Virginia during the evening hours when deer are most active.

Biologists have long known that spotlighting is the best way for them to count deer, but doing so requires a great deal of manpower. DNR personnel will travel specific routes to spotlight deer.

They will not only be counting them, but gathering other information as well, such as sex and approximate age.

The DNR has historically used the size of each year's buck harvest to determine the size of the state's herd. Recently, however, the DNR has shifted its deermanagement philosophy and is developing new calculations for how many deer a square mile of

habitat can hold. Thanks to a lack of small farms and timbering, most of the state is now forested habitat, which can support fewer deer than a more varied habitat with a mix of forest, clearings and brush.

The survey is expected to be completed by late September.

Nature Conservancy building artificial bat cave Once conceived only in comic books, the Nature Conservancy is building an artificial bat cave in Tennessee in an effort to combat white-nose syndrome, which has killed millions of bats and threatens to bring several bat species to extinction.

The artificial bat cave is located on property that the conservancy owns and is expected to be completed by the end of the month in time for bats to take up residence this winter. It is the first of its kind, conservancy officials say.

The new structure—the first man-made hibernation cave for bats—is underground and will mimic the cold, damp environ-

ment of the nearby natural cave.

The artificial cave will be a safe haven for bats to hibernate in during winter. It will also serve as a test site for WNS treatments.

Several disinfectants can kill the fungus believed to cause WNS, but they can harm other cavedwelling species and local water supplies. The artificial cave will not house other animals, and it can be disinfected when bats leave in summer.

Its cost is approximately $300,000 – even without a batmobile car and holographic waterfalls to hide secret entrances which conservancy officials say is

money well spent.

“This is the first idea we've come upon that offers bats a real chance at survival without killing the other organisms that call caves home," added The Nature Conservancy’s Cory Holliday.

“Even though we haven’t yet raised all the money necessary to cover our building costs, we are forging ahead because WNS is spreading very quickly, and we don’t have other effective means to fight it.”

Letter to the Editor: Getting our Kids Outside Dear Editor: Children of all ages, including infants and toddlers, need time outside every day. Here in West Virginia, while we are overall blessed with more green space for such opportunities, we also rank poorly nationally with regards to the percentage of overweight/obese people of all ages and in our children’s educational

test scores.

Research is showing that spending time outdoors does more to benefit a child’s development than just increase physical health. Children are naturally curious so they can be guided in vocabulary, science, math and emotional development. Being outdoors has been shown to help calm people down and allow

them to be more creative and cooperative. Everyone needs a “brain break” and time outside actually helps children to process what they may be learning in more the structured environment of a classroom. Also, people learn in different ways and for some moving and doing things hands-on is the most beneficial.

Today, more families have to have both parents working outside the home. This leaves a small window for families to play outside together and places the mandate on childcare providers to provide the needed time outside. While there are regulations as to how much time children in childcare facilities need to be outdoors, there are still missed opportunities for early educators to help kids grow through interacting with nature. Time does not have to be spent on the playground but can be as a nature walk, looking at clouds, with sidewalk chalk or reading a book

in the shade.

I understand that many parents and teachers do not want to deal with the mess or hassle of taking kids outside. Like any valuable activity however, going outside to promote children’s development will get easier with practice. I challenge my peers in early education to make the effort this school year and find ways to get outside with our kids – their future depends on it.

With remembrance and honor of September 11, 2001

By Trudy Black trudyblack@theputnamstandard.com

As I was getting ready for work on Tuesday, September 11th … I did my usual routine. Got ready, ate my cereal bar, did some things on the computer, then watched TV (or should I say flipped channels) until time to leave.

Both The Today Show and Good Morning America talked of 9/11 and Ground Zero.

During one of my ‘flips’ Good Morning America had a moment-of-silence with scenes from New York.

On my way to the Post Office, WQBE held a moment of silence in remembrance.

As I drove to work, I came through Hurricane. Heading toward the Hurricane Fire Department, I could see a HUGE American flag waving above (and across) Main Street. To be honest, it almost took my breath away.

What majesty, what beauty… against the bright blue September sky.

I honestly could have pulled my car to the side of the road and had myself a good cry.

As I passed the Fire Station, several of the guys were standing outside. I pointed to the flag and gave them the ‘thumbs up’. They smiled and waved back.

I remember September 11, 2001. I was still working for Phyllis Robinson at the Putnam Post.

She was in the apartment and called for me to come in there from the office. My heart sank as I looked at the television and saw the devastation and destruction in New York.

As the hours went by, I heard about the Pentagon… and I learned of a field in Pennsylvania.

I could not believe that we had been attacked on our own soil.

Yes, I said ‘we’ because that day every one of us was attacked.

We may have personally known of someone that was killed; while

many of us did not. Yet - in one way or another – we were touched by this horrific act. We sat glued to the TV waiting for answers. We just couldn’t understand it.

Someone asked me why I watched the news so much over those days… and in all honesty, I can say I watched it with hope

that there were more survivors… that more people would be found beneath the rubble. It was simply ‘hope’.

As the days moved to weeks, I remember the feeling of insecurity. The feeling of seeing so many people left helpless and alone.

I saw flags being placed on just

about every porch; people wearing ‘flag pins’; and folks looking to each other for support.

I saw a unified nation.

Will we ever ‘get over’ September 11, 2001? I don’t see how… and to be honest, I don’t think we should.

We have moved forward, we’ve moved through because we have no other choice. Even in the darkest hours, the act of living continues.

But, as for me, I do not believe that we will never, nor should we ever, forget that fall day when the United States as a nation felt and shared pain.

When, only days later, the nation rose… and came together in sorrow to honor those who were lost.

It is with a deep sadness and also with pride that I remember September 11th 2001… for it was not only a day of great sorrow, but also a day of unity for the people of this great nation.

A day that we must never forget.

W.Va. American Water repainting Fire Hydrants STAFF REPORT WINFIELD – West Virginia American Water has begun a system-wide fire hydrant painting project that will improve the visibility and appearance of more than 5,700 hydrants across the state.

The $240,000 project kicked off last week in Kanawha and Putnam counties.

The project will expand to Boone, Braxton, Cabell, Fayette, Lewis, Lincoln, Mercer, Summers and Webster counties over the

next several weeks.

West Virginia American Water operates and checks each of its more than 9,000 fire hydrants every year to ensure proper functionality in the event of a fire emergency. However, in some cases, the appearance of many of these hydrants has not been improved in years.

“While solely cosmetic in nature, this project is important to our customers because it will increase the visibility of fire hydrants for quick identification by

fire departments during emergency situations,” said Jeff McIntyre, president of West Virginia American Water. “It also improves the overall appearance of the only prevalent water infrastructure visible above the ground, which should give our customers confidence that we are also taking care of and investing in the much larger percentage of our water infrastructure that is buried beneath the ground.”

According to the Office of the State Fire Marshal, all West Vir-

ginians – not just firefighters – have responsibility for helping keep their communities safe from fire.

“Citizens and firefighters alike need to be aware of the location and condition of fire hydrants in their areas, since fire hydrants are a means of valuable fire protection that could mean the difference between losing or saving a home,” said Carol Nolte, Deputy State Fire Marshal. “Any improvement project to make hydrants more visible, while keeping them

in good working condition, will absolutely assist our firefighters and help protect our citizens.”

The company is asking drivers to use caution while workers are completing these painting projects, as many hydrants are located just inches from the street curb.

All workers will be wearing high visibility construction safety vests.

For more information, contact West Virginia American Water’s 24-hour customer service center at 1-800-685-8660 or visit www.westvirginiaamwater.com.

Marshall releases 2012-13 men’s Basketball Schedule SUBMITTED ARTICLE HUNTINGTON - Marshall will face 12 teams that qualified for postseason play last spring, including eight that participated in the NCAA Tournament as the entire men's basketball schedule was released Tuesday, Sept.

4.

The Thundering Herd will play four teams from conferences with a top four RPI with road games at Villanova (Nov. 11) and at Kentucky (Dec. 22) as well as games against West Virginia (Dec. 5) and Cincinnati (Dec. 15) at the Charleston Civic Center.

"We are excited to announce our entire schedule for the upcoming 2012-13 season," said head coach Tom Herrion, whose team finished the regular season with a strength of schedule of 16. "As we have proven since I have been here, we value playing high quality opponents and this year is another example of that. I am sure that most people will quickly recognize the four opponents from the BCS conferences, but we have worked hard to schedule high quality pro-

grams throughout our non-conference schedule. Many of our opponents competed for their respective conference titles and played in postseason play."

Marshall will host one exhibition game on Oct. 29 against Bluefield College (Virginia). The Herd then opens the regular season at home against Longwood on Nov. 9, before heading to Philadelphia, Pa. to take on Villanova as part of the 2K Classic benefitting Sports Wounded Warrior Project. Marshall then travels to Long Island, N.Y. for three consecutive games, all part of the 2K Sports Classic benefitting Wounded Warrior Project. The Herd will first play University of District of Columbia (Nov. 16), an NCAA Division II school from the nation's capital which qualified for its NCAA Tournament last season with a 22-6 record.

Next up will be a first-time meeting with South Dakota State (Nov. 17) which went 27-8 last season and won the Summit League to qualify for the NCAA Tournament. On Nov. 18, Marshall faces the host school, Hof-

stra, of the Colonial Athletic Association.

The Herd will then play its next 10 games either at home or within a two hour drive from Huntington which begins with hosting last season's Western Athletic Conference champions Nevada, now of the Mountain West Conference, on Nov. 24. On Nov. 28, Morehead State visits the Cam Henderson Center for the first time since 2007 as the I64 series will resume for at least the next four years.

UNC Wilmington makes a return trip to Huntington on Dec. 1 after hosting the Herd last season, resulting in a 69-64 MU win. On Dec. 5, Marshall takes on in-state rival West Virginia in the annual Capital Classic in Charleston. Coppin State will face the Herd for the first time on Dec. 8 in Huntington.

Marshall will play Cincinnati on Dec. 15 in Charleston, the first of six straight games against teams with a winning record last season. The Bearcats advanced to the Sweet 16 last season and had a 26-11 record, one of those losses coming to Marshall (73-

69 OT) in Cincinnati.

"Our great Thundering Herd fan base will once again help to create atmospheres in the Henderson Center and in Charleston that will allow for even more memorable moments for our great basketball tradition," said Herrion who enters his third season at Marshall.

Savannah State, which went 21-16 and lost in the first round of the National Invitation Tournament last season, comes to town on Dec. 19. On Dec. 22, Marshall plays defending national champion Kentucky in Lexington, Ky. in a game that will be broadcast on ESPN2 at 4 p.m.

The Herd will play its first game of 2013 on Jan. 2 against Delaware State in Huntington. It will be the second-ever meeting against the Hornets. To wrap up non-conference play, Ohio and Marshall will meet for the sixth consecutive season on Jan. 5 in Athens, Ohio.
