DURHAM, N.C. - Faith is the substance of things hoped for: the evidence of things not seen. Locally, one woman knows this definition well. Inside a Cross Lanes home, a 29-year-old nurse practitioner sits under a blanket, wearing a tshirt with the words, “Expect a Miracle” stitched on it. A scar stretches across the right side of her head as a reminder of the four-year battle she has fought. Christina Britton has walked through fire. Her journey through the flame has forged an incredible story of faith, inspiration and perseverance. When Britton was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor in 2009, she felt peace. “I remember lying on a hospital bed, my mom holding my

Family and friends are praying for healing again. Photo by Justin Waybright hand and doctors saying, ‘you have a large mass in your brain and we are trying to get you in
for an MRI,’” recalled Britton. “I just said ‘ok.’ I just had an overwhelming peace - so much that
she [mom] thought I didn’t understand what was going on.” What would devastate most, virtually had no effect on the young woman. Britton’s fearlessness and faith shined through the darkness. Her fiery journey began with a series of headaches in late August 2009. On Aug. 20, 2009, the pain became too much. The 25-year-old went to ER at CAMC’s Women’s and Children’s Hospital where an ambulance rushed her to General Hospital. In a small waiting room, family and friends learned nightmarish news: a mass sat on Britton’s brain. But, the courageous woman stayed positive. She held on to a promise found in the Old Testament. “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm SEE FAITH ON PAGE 7
County Continues Thriving, Carries Low Unemployment By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
WINFIELD - Putnam County has been referred to as an anomaly when it comes to local prosperity.
During recent career fairs, county leaders have remained confident in the current and future success of the area. “We are very blessed in Putnam County,” Chamber of Commerce Director Marty Chapman said, during a December career
fair. “While others struggle, we’re sort of an anomaly, because we are growing and our business community is growing.” Recent unemployment statistics from Workforce West Virginia support Chapman’s views.
During the April 23 commission meeting, county leaders learned good news. In a state of 55 counties, Putnam is among the top five with lowest unemployment rates. SEE UNEMPLOYMENT ON PAGE 4

Microwave Apple Crisp
By Mary Jane
Ingredients: 4 medium tart cooking apples, peeled, sliced (4 cups) 2/3 cup packed brown sugar 2/3 cup quick-cooking or oldfashioned oats 1/2 cup Original Bisquick® mix 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg Art by Natalie Larson
Directions: In ungreased 2-quart microwavable casserole or 8-inch square microwavable dish, arrange apple slices. In small bowl, stir remaining ingredients until crumbly. Sprinkle over apples. Microwave uncovered on High 7 to 10 minutes, rotating dish 1/2 turn after 5 minutes, until apples are tender. Serve warm. WAVES FROM PAGE 1 morning at Valley Park. For Putnam County Parks and Recreation Director Scott Williamson, the day marked a step forward for the pool. “This is a weight off my shoulders,” he said. “We’re getting them early, and we’ll be able to test them and get them ready to roll.” Now, crews are priming, painting and cleaning the pool before adding water. After the complex installation of the new clutchdriven motors, crews will test and tweak them to perfection, said Williamson. With opening day about one month away, workers are hammering away at getting the pool ready for summer crowds. “The maintenance staff is at full bore now,” he said. The new motors have the ca-
pability to produce 16 types of waves, an upgrade Williamson is excited to offer guests. After the new motor installation, painting, etching and priming, the overhaul will produce a new wave pool for the county. The woes of last summer are soon to be forgotten, said Williamson. “That negative is definitely turning into a positive - we’ve overcome a lot of obstacles, but we got our footprint now, and we just got to build onto it and redeem what happened,” he said. “The iron is hot - now is the time and I’m ready to make this happen.” The $173,000 wave pool overhaul is funded by a loan through Putnam County Bank. Revenue generated by the wave pool will pay off the upgrades.

“THE LUSH OF SPRING” Thought for the week: Consider the lilies how they grow; they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not Arrayed like one of these. Luke 12:27 (KJV) This is going to be one of those springs, we talk about. How Lush and beautiful all the dogwoods trees, the redbud, just Look, how huge the ground violets and dandelions are; seems even the bees and wasps are larger sized this spring. A lush year, and a predicted, abundant garden crop this year - so get out there and plan yours - how can you go wrong? Did you know that in Lincoln county 6000 people use the food pantry monthly? Thankful we have food pantries. There is grass to be mowed and it is lush too. That’s just spring exercise, keeping it mowed. So when those big wild orange lily’s bloom along the roadside this year, remember I told you so. They are going to be
larger than usual. The birds know, they are so busy surveying and building their nests some place - like on the top of window shutters. But that’s ok, it’s only for a season, this family is renting. According to the DNR of WV, there are more than 300 plus species of birds, inhabiting the state during some part of the year. Some being migrants who passed thru, just spending the winter. There are 21 species of snakes in WV - only two venomous, the copperhead and timber rattler. Snakes have their purpose on earth - eating a variety of small insects, earthworms, rodents, lizards or frogs. They are as frightened of you as you are of them. Genesis - 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon
The Putnam Standard the earth. In history on this day, April 30th 1789 - on the balcony of Federal Hall on Wall Street in New York City - George Washington takes the oath of office to become the first elected president of the United States. 224 years ago. In his speech, he gives credit to almighty God, for His election by the people to guide them. And we took prayer out of school, soon to have ‘’ In God we trust” off our currency, what would our founding father think of that? In history on this day, April 30th 1932 U.S. - The lung disease tuberculosis was becoming widespread; highly contagious. My own father-in-law spent 2 years away from home in a Beckley WV sanatorium, leaving a wife and twin sons, age two years old, to be cared for by family. Did you know each watermelon has an even number stripes on the outside? Each orange has an equal number of sections, and the waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the minute in all kinds of weather? And we cannot put all our trust in HIM? Prayer: Thank you once again, Our Father of all, for sending us a new season to enjoy. Amen.
UNEMPLOYMENT FROM PAGE 1 The county has a 7 percent rate, just behind Jefferson, Monongalia, Marion and Harrison counties, which recorded rates between 4.9 and 6.7 percent. Nearby, Kanawha posted 7.1 percent; Cabell, 7.3 percent; Fayette, 9.6 percent; Jackson, 9.6 percent; and Mason 12.2 percent. During the meeting, Commissioner President Joe Haynes shared the positive results. He is proud to represent an economically resilient county. “There are a number of factors we really benefit from - geography, a great school system, a growing parks system, an active and vibrant chamber and development authority, lower taxes and a willing and able workforce,” said Haynes. “Toyota was a big stamp of approval for the county, and when you have businesses expanding - it’s a
good, positive signal that this is a great place to live and work.” The commissioner continued, “The future of Putnam County is so bright.” The state is also showing signs of a hopeful future. According to statistics from Workforce West Virginia, the Mountain State’s unemployment rate declined 1/10 of-a-percent from February to March, with 35 counties listing lower rates in February. “The best asset here is the people - they’re good, decent and hard-working,” said Haynes. “They know the value of a good job.” Commissioner Andy Skidmore agreed. He believes the unity of area residents leads to success like this. “This is my first introduction to county government, and seeing people willing to work together is a benefit to citizens,” said Skidmore.

Commissioners also heard good news about the county’s current towing policy. Putnam County Emergency Management Director Frank Chapman shared an update with county leaders. “We don’t have any issues on the policy,” he said. “Everything seems to be going well and I see no further changes.” The current policy requires participating towing companies to have specific equipment to rescue vehicles for the 911 system. Hurricane Towing’s Chris Reed applauded the county’s policy. “I am proud of the way Putnam County handles this - it provides both of us a good thing,” he said. “The county is proactive.” In other news, the Putnam County Development Authority has received 13 resumes for former director Gary Walton’s position. “We’ll make recommendations for the final two or three people and interview them,” Skidmore said. “There was interest from all over the country.”

Christian's Sports Beat: “42” A Great Movie and Inspiration for All
By: Christian Deiss
CHARLESTON,WV - The movie "42," a story of American baseball legend Jackie Robinson, recently came out and I saw it on its opening day. I liked when Brooklyn Dodger Shortstop PeeWee Reese and Second Baseman Eddie Stankey stood up for Jackie. “It’s very important to have great teammates that have your back. It’s important now just like it was important back then for him. It’s always important to know you have teammates in your corner,” said West Virginia Power African American Right Fielder Josh Bell in a recent interview at Appalachian Power Park. Jackie burst onto the scene in 1947, breaking baseball’s color barrier and bringing the Negro Leagues’ electrifying style of play to the majors. He quickly became
baseball’s top drawing card and a symbol of hope to millions of Americans. With Robinson as the catalyst, the Dodgers won six pennants in his 10 seasons, along with the 1955 World Series title over the New York Yankees. He dominated games on the base paths, stealing home 19 times while distracting opposing pitchers with his daring base-running style. Robinson was named National League Most Valuable Player in 1949, leading the league in hitting (.342) and steals (37), while driving in 124 runs. Another thing I thought was exciting about "42" was when Jackie said, “Put a number on my back and I will play for you.” Tripp Keister, Manager of the Hagerstown
Suns told me at Power Park, “It was an important event in our country’s history, not only in baseball but for all society. The integration allowed so many to follow. It was a huge deal for a lot of people and rightfully so.” Jackie earned his spot in Cooperstown in 1962 as part of an induction class, featuring Bob Feller, Bill McKechnie and Edd Roush. Robinson earned election on his first ballot, joining Feller from that year as the first two first-ballot electees by the Baseball Writers Association of America, since the inaugural 1936 Baseball Hall of Fame vote. An important part of the movie was when Dodgers Owner Branch Rickey decided to change the Major Leagues by signing Jackie. Power pitcher and also an African American, Bryton Trepagnier said, “I feel it just paved the way for black American ballplayers, and without him, we wouldn’t be here today.” For Little Leaguers, Keister told me, “Not only Little Leaguers, but people in general can learn that he stood up for what was right and he kept pushing, stayed strong in adverse times, and I think everyone can learn from that -- if you are strong, do what’s right and things will turn out good.” I recommend that everyone should see "42" because it is a Grand Slam!
Governor Tomblin announces Plans for State's 150th Birthday Celebration CHARLESTON, WV - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin announced plans to celebrate West Virginia’s 150th birthday. The celebration, organized by the West Virginia Sesquicentennial Commission, will take place at the State Capitol Complex beginning on the state’s official birthday, Thursday, June 20, and concluding Sunday, June 23. “West Virginians still talk about the centennial celebration that took place on the Capitol Steps in 1963. It was a day that made all of us proud to be West Virginians,” Gov. Tomblin said. “This June, our state will turn 150, and I know West Virginians from every corner of the Mountain State will be filled with pride as we celebrate our big day. The events at the State Capitol will be something you won’t want to miss.” The birthday celebration will kick-off with a statewide bell ringing on Thursday, June 20 at
1:50 p.m. The governor will be in Charleston to ring a bell as a part of a ceremony to celebrate the state’s last 150 years. That evening, an outdoor symphony concert will be held on the Capitol lawn. Following the concert, West Virginia history will be brought to life in a special threedimensional film that will be projected directly onto the face of the State Capitol building. The video will conclude with a Zambelli fireworks show launched from the roof of the Capitol. The celebration will continue throughout the weekend. Saturday morning, the Commission will partner with FestivALL to host a parade which will end at the State Capitol where a daylong festival complete with family friendly events will continue into the evening. The celebration will be spread across the Capitol Grounds and will include outdoor concerts, a vintage car show, the Smoke on the Water
Chili Cook-Off, elements of the Vandalia Gathering, history lectures, Civil War re-enactors, sternwheeler rides, West Virginia food and craft vendors, and a giant birthday cake for all to enjoy. Saturday evening, the Capitol building will come to life with another showing of the 3-D film followed by another huge Zambelli fireworks show. The 3-D films, custom-crafted for projection onto the surfaces of iconic landmarks without a screen, are a cutting-edge art form and have become a worldwide sensation. They have headlined marquee events such as the Queen’s Jubilee, where a 3-D film was projected onto Buckingham Palace, and New Year’s Eve in New York City, where the “screen” was the legendary Saks Fifth Avenue. This production will be the first of its kind in West Virginia. To view the full schedule of events, visit: www.wv150.com.

Velma’s View By Velma Kitchens Ramps Recently, I met a lady who was talking about ramps. Now the ramps I am speaking of are the ramps that grow wild, like onions. April is the time to go collect the ramps from the woods or wherever you gather them. She and I agreed on one thing, we don’t like ramps. My sister gave me some ramps many years ago and I will never forget the smell. We took the paper bag she gave to us which had the ramps and soon as we got home, they were out of there, and in the garbage. I realize people are different and many of you folks just love ramps, but I don’t. I have heard they are really good in fried potatoes and other dishes, but I have not tried them. The lady I was speaking with said there is a church in Nettie, West Virginia, which is near Summersville and each year they have a ramp dinner and raise money for their church. She said people come from far and near to eat the delicious ramps. I would think there is a trick to cooking ramps, but I just don’t know how to get rid of the smell. One of my co-workers said her Grandpa ate ramps and came into her house and the smell almost peeled the paint off the walls. He came to church a few days later and she could smell him across the hall. Another story about ramps is so funny. A pregnant lady had eaten ramps a few weeks before delivery and the nurse said when the woman’s water broke, the entire room smelled of ramps and the poor little baby smelled like ramps also. I guess they named the baby Ramp Jr. If you enjoy the ramps, eat on; but I think I will hold off.

So we're arresting kids for wearing NRA shirts?
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
I never thought I'd see the day where a 14-year-old would be arrested for wearing an NRA shirt. But that's exactly what happened. Jared Marcum, 14, wore a National Rifle Association shirt at
Logan Middle School and was told he had to turn his shirt inside out. He refused and wound up suspended and arrested. He came back to school after his suspension wearing that same shirt. So did about 100 students who turned out to school wearing NRA-theme shirts. God bless those kids. The family has an attorney. Good for them. I am reminded of something Thomas Jefferson said about the amount of tyranny you live under will be the exact amount that you will endure. I'm glad that they choose not to endure it. Schools' reactions to expressions of the First Amendment about the Second Amendment are typically over-the-top. When I was a teacher's aide, many times students – and I'm talking about middle-school age students, in an attempt to get another student in trouble would say “(insert student name here) is talking about guns.” They would say it because they

believed doing so would get the other student into trouble. That's because even talking about guns actually will get a student in trouble. Making a little gun with your fingers will get you in a lot of trouble. God forbid anybody makes one of those little paper guns from two pieces of notebook paper like we did when I was a kid. I'm not saying that schools are places to be talking about guns and some students can get obsessive about such things, but in general schools' reaction to all things even remotely related to guns is typically excessive and beyond the realm of common sense. I believe, on some level, it is purposefully done. The idea is to instill in students an unnatural negative reaction to firearms – for the rest of their lives, even the sight of a gun will make them very afraid. They have been taught that guns are good for only one thing – killing people. They treat alcohol the same way. Students are taught alcohol is in-
herently evil, as if the only thing that can be done with it is to binge drink. That works for some. For others, it does nothing but make alcohol look cool. When I was going to school in Europe, I was struck by how differently European teens not only view alcohol, but use it. There, it's nothing for a young teen to have a glass of wine with his parents at dinner. Yet, you don't see them drunk. Let's say some teens are having a party with a cooler full of beer and cola. A German teen would be more likely to grab one of the colas than a beer. But here, we treat alcohol much differently with our youth – even to the point where we can send an 18 year old to Afghanistan for a year's tour and when he comes home somehow have the audacity to tell him he's not old enough to drink a beer. Schools having such an unnatural reaction to such things as shirts that mention a firearm only serves to perpetuate this notion that a
firearm is only a killing machine, making it even more attractive to certain kinds of violent students. It squelches the idea that was instilled in me that a gun was a tool, like a chainsaw. You can also kill people with chainsaws, but if you are using a chainsaw that's the last thing that would cross your mind. A major problem that I see here is a breakdown of order at the school. A mass protest among students usually leads to some temporary breakdown of order, a breakdown of control that school administrators have. Now, not only does Logan Middle School have to deal with student protesting, the story has appeared in newspapers, Web sites, and television news across the world. Now, there are lawyers involved. It would have been far simpler to just have let the kid wear the Tshirt. Contact David Payne at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
Outdoor Roundup West Virginia's spring gobbler season is underway and runs until May 18, 2013. Biologists say this year's late spring should be helpful for hunters. “Unlike 2012, when spring green-up came early, this year winter is still hanging on and very few trees have leaves out yet,” said Curtis I. Taylor, DNR Wildlife Resources chief. “Therefore, the late appearance of spring will likely increase the distance hunters can hear a gobbler. However, the peak of gobbling occurs near the end of April or early May as hens go to incubate their clutches, so hunters shouldn’t be surprised if they hear more birds at that time. Gobblers will also be more willing to come to calls once hens have gone to incubate their clutches so hunters should continue hunting as the season progresses." Hunters may kill only one bearded turkey per day and are allowed two per season. “While snow has little effect on the gobblers,” Taylor said “it definitely makes it more difficult on the hunters, which was one reason the harvest was down in 2012. Assuming that the weather cooperates and the approximately 65,000 spring gobbler hunters participate, we believe the harvest should improve from last year’s 8,303 to a more typical 9,000 birds.”
Since the early 1980s, the DNR has collected a wealth of valuable data from hunters with the annual Spring Gobbler Survey. This survey has hunters record items of interest by day, like the number of gobblers heard, called in, missed and harvested. Biologists are also interested in other animals seen. The data is tabulated and compared against previous years in a report that is mailed back to all cooperators the next year. Contact Tammie Thompson at 304-637-0245 or download a survey form at www.wvdnr.gov. An outdoor sport linked to Civil War times, Irish Road Bowling is scheduled at Kanawha State Forest, 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 4. Registration starts near the restrooms across from Rattlesnake Hollow at 12:30 p.m. IRB event starts at 1:30 p.m. For more information about Irish Road Bowling contact Stephen Wallington, 304638-3224. “This is an exciting opportunity to do something a little bit different in the outdoors and we expect a lot of people to come out and give it a try,” said Kevin Dials, assistant superintendent at Kanawha State Forest. I'd never heard of Irish Road Bowling until I started writing outdoors pages for newspapers about 10 years ago (state-park news always finds its way on the
outdoors page). It's basically a contest to see who can roll an iron ball the farthest. OK, so it is a little more complicated than that. It's scored like golf, only instead of putting the ball in a hole; you roll it across a line. Whoever can roll it across the line – which is some distance away – with the fewest number of bowls wins. May 4 at Kanawha State Forest. Other Irish bowling events are slated for June 15 at Blackwater Falls State Park, June 16 at Canaan Valley Resort, July 21 at Cacapon Resort State Park, Oct. 12 at Holly River State Park, Oct. 26 at Chief Logan State Park and Nov. 3 at Stonewall Resort. The National Wild Turkey Federation (NWTF) will pay $200 cash rewards for information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons who illegally kill or possess a wild turkey. The NWTF also pays a reward of $100 for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of persons attempting to kill wild turkeys through the use of bait or who willfully destroy the nest or eggs of wild turkey. The informant's identity will remain confidential. By reporting poaching incidents, the public can make a significant contribution to West Virginia's wild turkey management program, officials said.

FAITH FROM PAGE 1 you, plans to give you hope and a future,” states Jeremiah 29:11. Under doctor’s orders, an ambulance drove Britton to a hospital at Duke University for a brain biopsy. Family and friends followed closely behind, praying the entire way. After tests, doctors told Britton she had a cancerous tumor on her brain. Britton received a pathology report that showed a grade-three brain tumor, a condition that would require immediate surgery, chemo and radiation. Britton would only live about four months without treatment or surgery, doctors told her. The hospital scheduled surgery for Sept. 14 to remove the life-threatening mass. By this time, hundreds of family members, friends and strangers cried out for God to spare Britton’s life. From September to December, they prayed for a miracle. In late December, prayers were answered during a routine postsurgery-checkup. After running a test, surgeons, doctors and nurses at a North Carolina hospital stood in disbelief. The results they found were shocking. Cancer no longer existed in Britton’s brain. All traces of it were gone. She was healed. The prayers of many had been answered. A miracle had been granted. Britton was given the greatest Christmas present she ever received: the miracle of life. “Doctors said it was completely gone,” she recalled. Through her four-year battle, Britton has inspired hundreds. Erica Hinkley smiles every time she looks at her sister. “She is the strongest person I know - not one time through this did I ever see her scared - she just always had faith God would take care of her,” Hinkley remembered. “When I look at her, I see a miracle.” Kati Harmon has known Britton for more than 20 years. She stood by her best friend during surgeries. Harmon was blown away by the peace that saturated her friend during the chaotic time. “She seemed ironically calm about the situation - she was at peace with it - she was never depressed and never felt sorry for herself,” remembered Harmon. “She had a peace that passes understanding - a peace you can’t describe unless you know God.” The young woman continued, “Christina is a miracle.” Darcia Painter looks forward to Mother’s Day, May 12. She has the greatest present a mom could ask for. “It’s awesome that God gave us this miracle that we still have our daughter,” Painter said. “It’s amazing that He thought of us to give to us such a wonderful daughter.”
A living faith - Christina Britton lies on a hospital bed, hours after major brain surgery. Her formidable faith has inspired hundreds. Courtesy Photo The proud mother continued, “She is most definitely a miracle.” Father’s Day is also coming soon, but Mark Painter already has the best present he’s ever been given: his daughter. Her valiant fight has changed his life. “It’s increased my faith dramatically to see what she’s gone through,” Painter said. “I’m proud she’s my daughter and she lives up to the faith we instilled in her - it’s just indescribable the kind of faith she has.” The proud father continued, “I do see a miracle.” Life was back to normal at the Britton household until April 2, 2013. An MRI showed another cancerous, grade 3 tumor, almost identical to the one found four years ago. But, like the incident in 2009, the cancer survivor remained calm. While lying on a hospital bed, the warrior of faith kept smiling. Peace overshadowed her room. In early April, for the second time, surgeons removed a lifethreatening mass. After rest, Britton was sent home where she is now recovering from major brain surgery. Her body may be scarred but her drive is not. Determination paints her eyes as she looks toward the future with a mission. “This opened doors for me to share about my experience and God with others,” said Britton. The 29-year-old touched the right side of her head softly and humbly smiled, “I would have never had the opportunity to share if it wasn’t for this.” Since her miraculous healing,
Britton has shared her story at local churches and with cancer patients across the country. She provides a glimmer of light in people’s darkest times. “I tell them ‘cancer is not the end of the world…God healed me,” she said. Melissa Pratt, pastor of Teays
Valley Church of God has preached hundreds of messages on the power of faith. When she looks at Britton, she sees the fiveletter-word put into action. “Faith is the constant conviction that God is bigger than the mountain you’re facing,” ex“Christina plained Pratt. chooses every day to believe God is at work - she realizes nothing will happen to her in this life that God will not take care of or see her through.” When the local preacher thinks of Britton, the word “miracle” comes to mind. She knows what the word entails, but sees it all over Britton’s life, especially when noticing the peace the young woman exuded during a tragic time. “To have peace in the midst of crisis - real peace - not a put-on not a façade to keep everyone else peaceful - is a miracle,” Pratt explained. “She’s had unbroken peace, even when she was told she had such a short time to live - that’s a miracle. To experience the physical healing is also miracle.” Family and friends have all been touched by Britton as well. Her walk through this scary trial inspires them to encourage others with Britton’s story. “Anyone else would have questioned ‘why is this happening to me,’ but she seeks to use this to express her faith to others,” said Harman. Hinkley agreed. She believes her sister’s story is one that needs to be shared with the
world. “I cut hair and talk to a lot of people - I tell them about her and that she’s a miracle,” Hinkley said. Britton’s undeniable faith has spread throughout her family. “If this wasn’t a God thing, I don’t know what is,” Painter said. “The power of prayer is amazing.” The joyful father continued, “So many people are finding strength from her story.” Pratt agreed. The longtime preacher believes Britton is a disciple, sent to spread God’s love and truth with her story. “In spite of her situation, she never made it about her - she never focused on herself,” said Pratt. She described the essence of Britton’s calling while remembering a recent run for cancer event. “In the midst of all this, she is still running a race for other people to inspire them to run,” Pratt said. “I’m thankful Christina allowed her life to be proof that Jesus is alive, and he has healing power to help us endure life’s challenges.” Christina Britton’s faith is rare. It is unwavering and steadfast. When the world tells her she cannot make it - faith tells her she can. Britton will begin chemo and radiation in May. Her family welcomes prayers for her recovery. They are confident she will win the fight.

NITRO - The faint sound of trolling motors echoed throughout town. The second annual Nitro Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) Bass Tournament began April 20, a picture-perfect Saturday morning. A chilly breeze swept across the river where bass boats floated. At 7 a.m., they raced away from the newly-built Nitro Boat Launch. Event organizers Bill Javins and Kelly Pruett were excited to hold the event once again. “It took us six years to get where we got now,” said Javins. “We’re trying to grow this each and every year.” Fishing in West Virginia is a way of life to many. The sport and hobby provides a soulful experience, explained Javins. “It’s very peaceful and relaxing,” he said. Pruett watched while boats trailed off into the distance. “This feels great, and it’s such a

Hope Cruises to Local Family By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
BUFFALO - Tricked-out muscle cars and imports shined in the sun during the Cruise-in for Paul Holley Saturday April 20. People across the state with immaculate rides, cruised onto the Buffalo Diner parking lot to provide hope and love for a fellow car enthusiast, who nearly lost his life in February. The sound of tweaked 4-cylinder tuning echoed throughout town while the raw power of V-8 bigblocks shook the pavement at the restaurant. Mustangs, Camaros, Hondas, pick-ups and other custom rides stole the attention and admiration of the crowd. Two months ago, Holley, a Hannan High School student crashed his custom pick-up truck. The accident broke his neck and paralyzed him. Medical bills piled up and put a severe financial strain on his family. But hope came. CL’s Finest and Trojan car clubs hosted the cruise-in to help cover the bills and lift the Holley Family’s spirit.
Cruisin’ for a purpose - Men and women drive their tricked-out cars and trucks to a cruise-in to raise money for Holley’s family. Photo by Justin Waybright Jodi Johnson, remembers the day she got the call that her cousin had been in a serious wreck. “I was heart-broken and shocked,” she said. “It was really sad.” Johnson looked toward the rows of cars and trucks at the cruise-in. She smiled. “It’s amazing how the community came together and helped - it’s incredible,” she said. “It’s great to have churches praying and to receive all the encouraging comments.” Across from Johnson, a man stood by a long row of custom rides. David Withrow, president of CL’s Finest Car Club and owner of a modified S-10, Limo and Brevada was proud to offer a helping hand to
a fellow car enthusiast. “We can help a little bit at least, but we can never ease someone’s mind of what happened,” he said. “We’re always trying to help out the community.” Withrow’s car club holds an annual car show to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House. This year’s event is Aug. 24 at CampVirgil Tate. Near Withrow, a young man walked by a shiny Mustang. Steve Winters, president of Trojans Car Club and owner of a 1969 Mustang Mach 1, a 1970 Boss and a 1997 Cobra was happy to have a large turn-out. His club holds charity events often. “We try to choose someone in the

Courtesy Photo community in a hardship and donate to that person,” Winters said. “It’s great to volunteer and help someone like this.” TheTrojan Car Club holds cruiseins throughout the summer. The next one is 6 p.m. May 18 at Buffalo Diner. For car lovers like Winters and Withrow, cruising is a soulful experience like no other.
“There’s nothing like it,” saidWinters. “It’s a sense of satisfaction.” Withrow agreed. “It’s great,” he said. “Kids see it and you stand out - it’s enjoyable.” The sunset ended the successful event that provided hope and help for Holley. As evening turned to night, the exhaust of custom rides echoed in the distance, a tribute to a fellow cruiser.
