Velma’s View

By Velma Kitchens Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine We took a trip one spring to Beckley to visit the Exhibition Coal Mine.

As many years as we had lived in West Virginia, we never took the time to visit the coal mine.

My husband’s Dad worked in the coal mines in Logan County many years ago and we have appreciated all the coal miners who dig for the coal.

While the equipment is much more up-to-date, it is still a dangerous job.

The man who took us on the tour of the mine used to work in the mine and he had excellent knowledge of the working mine.

We got into a car and he took us a little way into the mine and stopped. He said if anyone wanted off the car, this is the time as we would not be allowed to get off anywhere else until the end.

Well, I don’t like closed in and low places but he assured us that this was the lowest it would get and it was true. The mine was not so narrow, but the low ceiling is something to get used to.

The guide also told us how in the old days the miners would take birds into the mine and when the birds didn’t make any noise it was time to get out as the gases in the mines were affecting the birds and therefore affecting the miners. A worker could die from the fumes but they couldn’t smell them.

The coal miners worked to make a living for their families and coal is still in our state for mining. Let’s get digging and put people back to work.

The Exhibition Mine in Beckley is a nice trip and tour for anyone interested in the history of coal mining in West Virginia.

There is also a house to tour when the mine trip is completed.

The house is a replica of what [a house] the coal miners lived in back in the old days. The tour of the mine gave me more appreciation of the miners who worked in the dark to bring us light for our homes and businesses Hope you get to take a trip and visit the mine.

Political comedy troupe The Capitol Steps returns to Clay Center CHARLESTON, WV – Don’t miss the hilarious political comedy of “the only group in America that attempts to be funnier than Congress” as The Capitol Steps return to the Clay Center stage Sunday, April 7 at 7:30 p.m. Laugh along to song parodies and hysterical skits in their latest show “Take the Money and Run — for President.”

A 31-year-old institution that began when a group of Senate staffers set out to satirize the very people who employed them, The Capitol Steps poke fun at Democrats, Republicans and everyone in between. Con-

stantly writing and recording new material, the group has its finger on the pulse of every good, bad and entertaining thing that happens in Washington.

With a recent presidential election and plenty of comedic current events to draw from, The Capitol Steps are never at a loss for inspiration. Hear catchy tunes like “You Can’t Hide this Biden Guy,” “Love Potion Number 9-9-9,” “Arnold at a Dating Service” and “Old Time McCain and Dole” in a performance you’ll be talking about for weeks.

Center Presents performance and Jack Hanna’s Into The Wild Live, plus special events Lewis Black and Mountain Stage with Larry Groce featuring Mary Chapin Carpenter and Shawn Colvin, are on sale now.

Hit TV Show Directed by West Virginia State University Graduate INSTITUTE, WV – West Virginia State University (WVSU) graduate Rick Kelly recently directed an episode of the hit comedy television show “Raising Hope.”

Kelly directed the season finale that aired Thursday night, March 28 on Fox. The episode was filmed in February and marked the debut of Kelly as a director.

As filming was taking place, he reached out to WVSU Assistant Professor Danny Boyd thanking him, as well as WVSU Assistant Professor Steve Gilliland and former WVSU Professor David Wohl for their role in putting him on the path to success.

“I say this with all sincerity, it may have been 20 years since I was at State, but if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had any of the opportunities in film and TV that I've had,” Kelly wrote to Boyd. “I'm deeply indebted to you and David and Steve. And I will never be able to fully express my gratitude toward you especially.”

Kelly has worked on the show since 2010 as a first assistant director after working on the television show “The Gates” in a similar role.

“Rick was just a really good kid and a really hard worker,” Boyd said of his former student. “He

was here during our ‘golden age’ when we made four feature films in a row and we had a number of students who were able to get good experience and then go on to work in the big leagues.”

In fact, the very first professional experience listed on Kelly’s extensive resume is the 1991 film “Paradise Park,” which was written and directed by Boyd.

“WVSU's Communications program uses an interdisciplinary approach,” added Gilliland, “that enables our students to learn about film, radio, television, public relations and theatre. Rick learned some of the

basics of cinematography in filmmaking class. He also learned by directing fellow students in a production of Christopher Durang's avant-garde play, ‘Titanic.’”

Kelly graduated from West Virginia State University in 1992 and has worked steadily in the entertainment industry since his graduation on both films and in television.

He worked on the “My Name is Earl” television series from 20062009 as both a second assistant director and first assistant director.

In addition to his work in serial television, Kelly has also worked

on a number of made- for-television movies, as well as big budget Hollywood movies.

Among Kelly’s film credits are work on “Constantine,” “The Polar Express” and “The Scorpion King.”

During the nearly 20 years he has worked in the industry, Kelly has stayed in touch with those who launched him on the path at WVSU. “He sent me a note and said that he wouldn’t have been able to do all that he has done without me,” Boyd said. “I told him that I wouldn’t have been able to make movies without his help and that of all my students.”

New West Virginia Apprentice Hunting License Available Online SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV The West Virginia Apprentice Hunting and Trapping License (Class AH) is now available online, according to Frank Jezioro, director of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.

The license allows people to try hunting without completing a hunter education course.

“Hunter safety education can be a hurdle for novice hunters and we're really expecting to see many new hunters take advantage of this opportunity,” said Jezioro. "After these novice hunters get a taste of the experience, we believe they will complete hunter safety courses and become lifetime hunters."

Apprentice licenses can only be purchased online at: www.wvhunt.com by people

who have not previously held a hunting license. Residents who have reached their 18th birthday can purchase a Class AH license for $19. This license includes the same privileges as a Class A (resident hunting and trapping) license, so holders must buy a Class CS Conservation Stamp.

Nonresidents who have reached their 18th birthday can purchase a Class AAH license for $119. This license includes the same privileges as a Class E (nonresident hunting and trapping) license, so holders must buy a Class CS/LE Conservation Stamp/Law Enforcement stamp.

Resident and nonresident youth ages 15 through 17 can buy a Junior Apprentice Hunting and

Trapping License for $16. The Class AHJ license for residents includes the same privileges as a Class XJ (junior sportsman hunting/trapping/fishing) license.

The Class AAHJ license for nonresidents, combined with a Class CS/LE stamp, includes the same privileges as a Class XXJ license.

Hunters may buy up to three apprentice licenses within five consecutive years. Apprentice license holders must be supervised by a licensed hunter at least 18 years of age.

“We’re hoping this license will help us recruit first-time hunters, whether they be youth just getting a start or adults wanting to give hunting a try,” said Curtis I. Taylor, chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of DNR. “Hunter recruitment is a

prime topic around the country and is key to continuing the successful management pro-

grams we have implemented in the past.”

State accepting registrations for spring Adopt-A-Highway Cleanup The state Department of Environmental Protection is accepting registrations for the Saturday, April 27 Adopt-A-Highway Spring Statewide Cleanup. Volunteers have until Friday, April 12 to register.

Co-sponsored by the DEP and the state Division of Highways, the Adopt-A-Highway program is administered by the DEP’s Rehabilitation Environmental Action Plan (REAP). Its goals include improving the quality of our environment by encouraging public involvement in the elimination of highway litter.

Individuals, families, churches, businesses, schools, civic organizations, government agencies and communities can

register to pick up trash on almost any state-maintained road, back road or main route. Private roads and interstate highways cannot be adopted. The AdoptA-Highway program provides garbage bags, work gloves and safety vests to volunteers. The state also takes care of disposing of collected trash. Volunteers must be at least 12 years old to participate.

More than 5,500 volunteers turned out for the spring 2012 Adopt-A-Highway cleanup and cleared over 1,500 miles of West Virginia roadways. Since the program’s inception in 1988, state citizens have cleaned up more than 63,000 miles of state highways and roads.

AAH volunteers annually remove over 4 million pounds of trash from state highways. They recycle about 24,000 pounds of glass, 6,700 pounds of plastic and 19,000 pounds of aluminum each year. Currently more than 51,000 volunteers representing in excess of 1,200 organizations keep more than 3,300 miles of West Virginia roads litter free.

To register, call 1-800-322-5530 or send an email to: dep.aah@wv.gov. If you reach the REAP voicemail, please leave your ID, phone number, group name, date of cleanup, number of participants and the county where your adopted road is located.

County Adjusts TIF District, Supports Seniors

By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

WINFIELD - Commissioners worked to please seniors and residents requests during the March 26 Putnam County Commission meeting.

Joyce Arthur, director of Putnam Aging spoke to county leaders about the importance of supporting the area’s senior nutrition program.

“We hope you all will support us - we go out of our way to meet state and federal guidelines,” she said. “Our cost is increasing and part of the problem is that one driver covers the whole county.”

Putnam Aging runs senior nutrition programs in four counties, including Putnam, Kanawha, Fayette and Clay. In 2012, the organization served 57,637 meals to seniors.

The average cost per meal is $6.84, said Arthur. The average reimbursement is $6.28, a loss of .56 per meal served.

The numbers alarm Arthur.

“We’re going to be in the hole,” she told county leaders. “There are ways to defer the cost - we could congregate meals and have people call in to make reservations, but I just have a hard time turning people away.”

The top focus of Putnam Aging is to serve hospice patients.

Arthur said they are first on the list.

“We serve them immediately,

because we want their last days to be filled whatever we can do to help them,” she said.

Commissioners sympathized with Arthur’s struggle to meet everyone’s needs. County leaders frequently visit area senior centers.

“The people that work there are very nice, friendly and concerned,” said Commissioner Steve Andes.

Commissioner President Joe Haynes agreed.

“I’ve been to all three senior centers, and I always find the food and atmosphere to be good,” he said. “So, keep up the good work.”

No action was taken during the meeting, but commissioners seemed to be in support of Arthur’s efforts to serve the county’s seniors.

In other discussions, Frazier’s Bottom residents made their voices heard during discussions about the Putnam County Industrial Park and the zoning of the TIF District.

Residents voiced dissatisfaction with being included in the district. Many feared their tax rates and property values would jump because of the zoning.

“I know the purpose of this is to build infrastructure for the park, but I don’t think it’s a good thing for property owners to pay for it,” said one resident.

County Administrator Brian Donat explained, “You’re not going to pay any more money -

this just dictates where we put the money.”

Another resident spoke up during the discussion.

“I’m all for growth in Putnam County, but I just don’t want it to come from my pockets,” he said.

Commissioners heard the arguments, explained to residents no tax increases would occur because of the district, but the property owners remained unconvinced. The commission decided to please the residents.

“I have no desire to force anybody there who doesn’t want to be,” said Haynes.

Andes agreed, but seemed reluctant about changing boundary lines for a handful of property owners.

“Picking and choosing properties can be a nightmare - maybe we should just do a tax map from the Assessor’s office,” he said.

Haynes responded.

“I’d prefer to take these folks out if they want out,” he said.

Moments later, commissioners approved the request to redraw boundary lines, leaving the dissatisfied residents out of the district.

A $19 million county budget for 2013-14 ended the meeting.

Much of the increase over last year’s approved budget will go toward the sheriff’s department and the county’s rising jail bill.

Putnam Commission meetings are held at 9 a.m. on the second and fourth Tuesday every month.

By Mary Jane “APRIL’S ACTION” Thought for the week: The fool hath said in his heart, there is no GOD. They are corrupt; they have done abominable works, there Is none that doeth good – Psalm 14:1 (KJV) The sunshine is so bright this morning, course that’s when I am writing this column, it may snow today, or tomorrow.

The Easter season, the April Fool’s day, have passed and we are planning ahead to the spring season.

Do you remember in school, how the April fools jokes were played?

One I remember was to make a phone call to someone and ask, “Is your refrigerator running?” They usually questioned, and went to check, upon a return answer, you would say “good, did you catch it? April fool.”

One famous hoax was televised in 1957, showing the Swiss people harvesting spaghetti from trees, thousands of people called in to the BBC channel, wanting to buy a spaghetti tree. Of course today this would be a money making scam.

We all have played an April fool joke, at one time or another on someone, and we have made some foolish decisions in life also.

The lips of the righteous feed many; but fools die for want of wisdom, Proverbs 10:21 Just as some question God, they can give reason for why and what in their own minds, and try to convince others. But they are only making fools of self.

Professing them to be wise, they become fools. Romans 1:22.

When the sky is so blue, with the bright sunshine, you can almost smell spring in the air again. Thoughts go to your head about planning ahead, like cousin ED, spreading his ground enrichment and providing me some too - thank you!

It’s the waiting time of year, we wait till it is the right time to open wide those windows and clean out the winter cobwebs.

We plan on garden and flower planting, and even the birds know too. Listen some morning as they sing there Halleluiah song of praise for the coming spring.

By them shall the fowls of the heaven have habitation, which sing among the branches. Psalms 104:12.

April, dear April, come enter my dreams, and rid me from cold winter chills, Banish the rain and those blustery winds, and warm up our countryside hills.

Yes, God is alive and well in his heaven, as He sends us a new season to enjoy; we all have troubles and trials But where would you be without, God to pray for help and guidance.

Ask any old Christian saint, and they will verify the many times God answered prayer in their lifetime.

Do not be like the April fools, and not have trust in the Creator of All. Prayer: One again our Father in heaven, we thank you for the springtime and all its glory to come. Amen.

Hurricane Fights GW for Lacrosse Victory

By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

HURRICANE - Questionable calls angered the Redskins’ Lacrosse Team Tuesday night.

Coming off early success in the season, the Hurricane boys started the game strong, keeping the score close. However, momentum shifted.

Less than two minutes into the game, GW scored a goal.

Moments later, Hurricane’s Tyler Sovine answered back with a score.

The patriots were not going to go down that easily, though.

Their offense attempted multiple scores against the Redskins’ goalie. But he formed a solid wall the Patriots could not break through.

However, with seven minutes to go in the first period, they snatched a goal.

Into the final seconds of the first period, a fight broke loose in the center of the field. A GW player hit a Hurricane player after a play. The Redskin’s player defended himself and fought back with some punches.

The crowd roared.

Although referees broke up the fight, the hometown audience made their presence known. Hurricane had won the fight, according to their cheers.

Anger continued from there.

After the first period, Hurricane Coach Shane Wilson huddled with his players.

“We need good saves and

Breakin’ away - Hurricane’s Josh Ellis advances toward the goal. Photo by Justin Waybright good defense!” he told his team.

Momentum shifted back to Hurricane as Sovine knocked down another goal, bringing the score to a 1-point-game.

Wilson’s advice propelled the team, but it was short-lived. GW found an opening and responded with a goal.

Late into the second period, a referee made a questionable call, stating a Hurricane player “illegally hit a GW player in the face.”

“He’s ejected!” the referee yelled.

Shock and disbelief filled the Redskin atmosphere.

Wilson spoke to the referee in an effort to defend his team and cry out for a fair game.

After a brief exchange of words, the referee made a call no one saw coming.

“That’s it coach…you’re gone!” he shouted.

Wilson walked away, head hung down.

It’s on! - A GW player goes down after an illegal hit and taunting after a play.

The Redskins and the hometown audience roared after the incident. Photo by Justin Waybright Questions and disbelief filled the Redskin section.

The call dashed Hurricane’s hopes for a “W.” The team was now down two players and a coach.

GW ended the half with a couple more goals, extending their lead by four points. A goal with 38 seconds left in the half, turned the game to their favor and further ignited the fire that

burnt Hurricane.

The halftime buzzer screamed the game to a halt. Players entered the locker room.

After a brief meeting, the administration had seen enough.

School officials called the game.

Hurricane’s Lacrosse team suffered a rough night. However, the boys in red and white believe one bad game will not dictate the next victory.

Local Student honored In Morgantown The Putnam County 4-H program is collecting change through various businesses in the hopes of helping to assist raise money needed for a new pool at Camp Virgil Tate. A camp pool typically plays a major role in a summer camp.

The collection will be in the form of a gallon milk carton or a change counter with the flyer attached.

On behalf of the Kanawha and Putnam County 4-H Programs, we thank all that have contributed towards this collection and especially to the businesses who have allowed us to use their facilities.
