HUNTINGTON - One voice, one smile and one hope drive a group of children from Africa to spread love around the world.

The African Children’s Choir began 25 years ago with a simple song from a child. Decades later, thousands across the world have received heart-touching performances.

More importantly, African children in Uganda have experienced life-changing help from the tours.

Dorothy Nabwami, children’s choir chaperone remembered when she joined the program at 9years-old.

“I loved singing for many people, and seeing them get excited and happy,” she said.

The group is comprised of eight boys and eight girls from age

The children who make up the

choir learn the English language and change the world at a young age.

“The country and the kids benefit from this,” Nabwami said. “It

feels really nice, seeing children growing and learning new things.”

The African Children’s Choir will perform this weekend in Huntington and St. Albans.

At 7 p.m. Friday Aug. 2, the choir will sing at Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. At 11 a.m. Sunday Aug. 4, it will perform at St. Andrew United Methodist Church in St. Albans and at 6:30 p.m. River Cities Community Church in Huntington.

The African Children's Choir is a nonprofit humanitarian and relief organization, dedicated to helping Africa's most vulnerable children today so they can help Africa tomorrow. Through past performances, the program has raised funds to complete children’s homes and educational resources.

‘Brew Skies Festival’ Features Live Music,WV Microbrews THOMAS, WV - The Brew Skies Festival was so good, it’s coming back for an encore.

The event, dedicated to great music and West Virginia craft beers, is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, Aug. 9-10, at Canaan Valley Resort State Park.

Last year’s inaugural Brew Skies Festival attracted good crowds from around the state and region, encouraging organizers to bring the concept back for a second year.

Mountain State Brewing Co. in Thomas organizes the familyfriendly festival, which includes beers from a number of microbreweries in West Virginia as well as local, regional and national

musical acts.

“West Virginia is quickly developing a reputation for outstanding craft beers, and we’re proud to help our fellow breweries showcase their products,” said Brian Arnett, who co-owns Mountain State Brewing Co. with Willie Lehmann. Based in Thomas, Mountain State also operates restaurants/pubs in Morgantown and Deep Creek, Md., and distributes its beers throughout West Virginia.

Highlighted performers for 2013 include Baltimore’s J. Roddy Walston & The Business; the soulful Luella & The Sun from Nashville, Tenn.; and Alabamabased singer-songwriter Grayson

Capps.

In addition to the brews from Mountain State Brewing Co., attendees can sample beers from Bridge Brew Works, Morgantown Brewing Co., Lost River Brewing, Chestnut Brew Works and Blackwater Brewing.

Food vendors will include El Grand Sabor, Tip Top Coffee and Canaan Valley Resort’s famous BBQ, plus a number of local artisan and craft vendors. A special area dedicated to children’s activities also is available in the pavilion near the stage.

Music will go from 3 p.m. to midnight on Friday, and 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday. In addition to the headlining acts, the lineup

includes regional favorites The Wild Rumpus, Johnson’s Crossroad, Rasta Rafiki, The Hillbilly Gypsies, Fletcher’s Grove, The Greens, Farnsworth, and more.

“This year’s lineup includes outstanding performers, some of whom may be new to people but all of whom are talented,” said Kate Lane, who coordinates booking the musical acts. “With the mountains as a spectacular backdrop and temperatures much cooler than cities experience in August, Brew Skies a great getaway for families, couples or groups of friends.”

Community Calendar Program offers help to Problem Gamblers

The Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia, the program that operates the statewide 1-800-GAMBLER helpline for problem gamblers and their loved ones, is offering a support group in Teays Valley to help individuals struggling with a gambling addiction.

The agency, in conjunction with Fred Clark, offers therapy group sessions for one and a half hours a week for the duration of three months. Clark, a longtime mental health therapist and Nationally Certified Gambling Counselor, will facilitate the group.

Through the 11 years of operating the 1-800-Gambler helpline, the Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia has received nearly 10,000 calls from problem gamblers and their loved ones. One of the main reasons Teays Valley was chosen as a site for this type of treatment is the helpline receives many calls from the Cabell, Kanawha, and Putnam county areas. Kathleen O'Neil, coordinator of this project for the Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia said, "Teays Valley is in close proximity of where we receive calls from this three-county area."

Anyone who thinks they or a loved one may have a gambling problem is urged to call 1-800GAMBLER to find out more.

Where Natural Beauty Lives

By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

RED HOUSE - "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived... I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life..."

The famous words from author Henry David Thoreau paint a picture of Norman Walter and the impact he is leaving behind for Putnam County.

He was one with nature: an outdoorsman, who found beauty in flowers, trees and wildlife - the simple things in life. His love for preserving this continues to grow.

Atop Red House Hill, down Wilke Road, it sprawls through the forest. Here, serenity flows.

Black Spruce, Norway Spruce and Black Locust trees stretch toward the sky, painting a ceiling of green. Sun peaks through openings to light a 1-mile walking trail, nestled in 75-acres of preserved forest.

Walter's passion for nature is on full display here.

"He grew up in Charleston a city boy and mom was from a coal mining town - they both grew up loving the outdoors," said Walter's daughter Mary Creager. "One of their dreams was to have a farm and raise their kids in the country."

The husband-and-wife team

lived out that dream. The two bought the rural property in the early 1950s and raised cattle, grew gardens and loved their children.

The family's chicken coop thrived. Walter sold eggs to residents across the state.

Years passed with successful farming, and the entrepreneur began work in the conservation service. His passion for the outdoors grew like the trees and flowers he photographed and planted.

"He was always involved in resource conservation and wildlife, so we thought it would be nice to preserve this land," said Creager.

The wildlife enthusiast de-

cided to give the land to the county parks system. He sketched out boundaries and trails to show to county leaders.

Being a natural outdoorsman himself, Putnam County Parks and Recreation Director Scott Williamson jumped on the idea.

Within the past year, parks crews and AmeriCorps volunteers have maintained the trails and land.

"We want to keep the spirit of what Norman wanted, going on," said Williamson. "We want people to see nature at work."

The county currently owns and maintains the property. Future plans for it include benches, interpretive signs and further maintenance to the

property, Williamson said.

Throughout his last years, Walter worked with Confidence Elementary in a "read-aloud" program. He loved children, recalled Creager's husband Chad.

"He loved that, and he was well-known," he said. "In his last decade, he travelled, photographing wildflowers."

Many of Walter's pictures are on display at Cranberry.

Williamson walks along the trail, taking moments to admire the beauty that surrounds it.

Trees catch his eye, birds grab his attention and the parks leader stands in awe of nature's beauty.

"There's so much potential here as to what can be done," he said. "To see kids out, to know you changed that life because you provided that opportunity to experience something like this - it's my lifelong passion."

That same passion echoes Walter's. Norman Walter passed away in 2008. Though he is no longer here, his love for nature lives on.

"This is what daddy had wanted," Creager said, looking toward a walking trail, vibrant with wildlife and pure in beauty.

feeling supported and more confident during the process.

The program includes special classes on preparing for childbirth, preparing siblings, pediatric CPR, breastfeeding, infant massage and pregnancy massage (for couples).

“HEAT, RAIN AND COMPLAIN” Thought for the week: That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good; and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Matthew 5:45 (KJV) Complain is what we humans do best - don’t you think? And the most common subject would be about the weather. Lord help us if we had control of it. Any where you go, you hear – “Did not really enjoy the family gathering, it rained too much. ‘’ “Can’t plant this or that, it is too hot.” “Was going on a fishing trip, rained too hard,” etc.

As I was checking out in a store line this week, it was ‘’I am sick and tired of this rain.” Well, thank God, we are not in control of the weather, what a terrible mess it

would be.

Leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

We then would complain more about the next most seemly complaint, our present president, or maybe it is health issues. Sometimes, when you listen, you may hear a history of health problems and what is being done for them.

But it doesn’t hurt to take a little time for someone’s troubles, just be kinder than necessary, everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle, if it’s not the weather or illness, it may be any number of problems in this life.

God has a reason for sending us all the rain and heat this season. You have to admit everything is greener and growing great. Better a rain shower every

The Putnam Standard day than soooo hot the forest is on fire. (Which, as I am writing this it’s a sweltering 90 degrees today). Still, I am happy God placed me where I am. Did you ever think what if you had been born in another country? God placed each where He wanted us.

Acts 17: 24-26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.

A verse of the song from country singer Randy Travis goes; As long as old men talk about the weather, and as long as old women talk, about old men I’ll love you forever and ever, and ever, amen.

The weather will forever be a topic of conversation with whoever you meet in life.

All things in life are temporary.

If going well - enjoy it; they will not last forever. If going wrong don’t worry; they can’t last long either.

Prayer: Thank you God for being in control of all things in life, for sure, a mess we each would make of it. Amen.

Tri-County YMCA The Skinny: July 30, 2013 Young Athletes and Nutrition With the start of a new school rapidly approaching, now is a good time to discuss sports and nutrition, particularly for young athletes. Sports are becoming more and more competitive for young athletes and performance is key. However, nutrition plays a big part in the success and training of an athlete.

There isn’t one particular food for an athlete that can make or break performance. It takes a combination of vitamins, minerals and nutrients to achieve athletic balance and eating a variety of foods is the best way to get this combination.

The best way to evaluate nutrition is to follow the mypyramid.gov food guide developed by nutritionists. Food is divided into five groups based on nutrients and based on the recommendations from the food guide the optimum level of nutrients can be reached that can have a positive impact on the playing field. Ac-

cording to mypyramid.gov, teenage athletes need the following amount of nutrients: Milk, Yogurt & Cheese – 3 servings daily; Fish, Dry Beans, Eggs & Nuts – 3 servings daily; Vegetable Group – 3 to 5 servings daily; Fruit Group – 2 to 4 servings daily; Bread, Cereal, Rice & Pasta – 6 to 11 servings daily. Note that most teenage athletes may require more than the minimum recommended number of servings and that in many cases increased energy would come from the Vegetable Group and the Bread, Cereal, Rice and Pasta Group.

Before a big game or match, it is possible for the digestive system to slow down somewhat due to excitement or high emotions.

Because of this, athletes need to eat an easily digestable meal a few hours before an athletic event. Try to avoid foods that have high amounts of fats or oil and instead opt for meals that are high in starches as those are di-

gested faster. Avoid sugary foods and candy as these can have an adverse effect on blood sugar levels.

Finally, some other nutrition tips for young athletes include making healthy snack choices (such as a baked potato instead of French fries) and eating regularly – including breakfast – every day to maintain energy levels.

Extra energy can be gained from foods like starchy vegetables, whole grain bread and pasta. A combination of the right foods can give a young athlete the energy and endurance to achieve success on and off the playing field.

Tri-County YMCA is non-profit organization located in Scott Depot and has served the Putnam County area since 1991. We offer a variety of fitness classes, programs and activities for individuals and families of all ages.

rifice fly against the Kannapolis Intimidators to give the Power a 5 – 4 win. I asked the second year player what he was thinking when stepped up to the plate with the bases loaded and nobody out, “I was just trying my hardest to keep the ball off the ground and pop it up somewhere in the outfield. So I got a couple of pitches that I missed, but my main approach was to get the ball into the outfield and I got the job done.” It was Bell’s first walkoff run batted in, in his short professional career.

The pitcher leading the charge for the Power’s pitching staff right now is right-hander Tyler Glasnow. I asked the California native what it was going to take to keep the runs down, “It’s going a take a big effort from the entire staff, and you have to go out there every day with the same mind set, don’t change anything.” The 19 year-old leads the Power in wins with seven, innings pitched 87.1, strikeouts with 122 and an earned run average 2.27.

By Velma Kitchens Grandma's Popcorn I like to eat popcorn and when I think of popcorn, I think of my Grandma Carpenter who lived on Buzzard Creek. I would spend time with her and my aunt Claudia in the summer and we had so much fun. We would wake up in the mornings and the air would be so cool and fresh. My grandma had no air conditioning but there were trees around the house. The front room - or the living room - was where we sat in the evenings. If it was really hot we would sit outside. My aunt, who is only two years older than I, would play with our dolls and have pretend houses; we had pretend husbands and kids. We had a blast.

My grandma had a TV and we would sit in the front room and watch Petticoat Junction, The Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, and yes, Gunsmoke. As we got older we would watch the Chiller Theatre which came on channel 13. We got such a scare out of that. Scary movies these days makes chiller mild compared to them.

Of all the things I liked most about staying with my Grandma was her popcorn. She made the old fashioned popcorn with the oil. She had a kettle which she only used for popping corn and she would get the oil really hot then she put in the corn. In just a few seconds the corn would start popping. Her lid had holes in the top to let out the steam. She would pop and pop the corn until we had a big aluminum dishpan full! We would sit and eat the popcorn until it was gone and the TV show was off the air. I had a hard time staying awake all night.

But I knew we could sleep in the next morning.

My grandma has since passed away and I had her popcorn kettle in my cabinet, but every time I looked at it I would start to cry so I gave it to my Mom to keep for me. The memories I have of Buzzard Creek will stay with me forever, especially the popcorn.

Do kids know how to pop old fashioned popcorn? I guess we are all spoiled to the microwave.

We also like the Elvis Presley movies. We had such a blast watching anything with Elvis as we loved him. I mentioned Elvis to a lady once and I said I hope I meet Elvis in Heaven. She said I probably wouldn't. Well, I am no judge but I did hear that a minister once saw Elvis in an elevator and asked him if he was a Christian and he said he was.

At one of his concerts someone yelled that Elvis is king and Elvis yelled back “There is only one King and that is Jesus Christ.” Elvis never called himself a king as he knew who the real King is.

So, I guess we will have to wait until we get to Heaven to see Elvis and Waylon and a few others we may not think made it.

I think we may be surprised to look around and not see some faces we really thought we would see.

We want to hear from you!

National Jamboree leaves mark on the State

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

The National Boy Scout Jamboree at the Summit Bechtel Reserve is over, but the Scouts have left quite a legacy. I travel around the state quite a bit and I've seen crews of scouts – usually 15 or more – everywhere and I mean everywhere, not just around Raleigh County. I've seen quite a few projects going on around Beckley, but I've also seen Scouts working in Lewisburg. Wyoming County alone has had more than 3,000 Scouts there working on projects.

Some of the projects were park improvements and the like, others like the Morris Creek project, where a Dayton, Ohio, troop

worked on stream improvement, helped the environment.

There were around 40,000 Scouts there and while the Boy Scouts of America hasn't released the visitors' totals yet (they don't have them yet), but they had expected 50,000 visitors for the event.

This was the first Jamboree where disposable water bottles were banned – only re-useable bottles were allowed to save plastic, although it does introduce a rustic feel - a hundred years ago Scouts would have been using reuseable containers as well. Water from sinks and showers was used to flush toilets. Wastewater was passively treated, then used to water forest plants. Interestingly enough, all the lumber used in constructing the facilities came directly from forests in the area.

It was the first Jamboree where a lot of Scouting communication and organization was done via smartphone – with the new Jamboree app – and there were solar chargers for Scouts to charge their phones.

It was the first Jamboree to have Venture Crews participate.

Venture is a program that, as I explained it to my 11-year-old son, “only does awesome, adventurous things. And they have girls.”

He replied “So you are saying it has everything I'd ever want?”

There was one death, Gene Schultz, an adult staff member from Ohio who was volunteering as a merit badge counselor and a historical re-enactor, who had a heart attack.

They had these big-name pop bands (I'm not 12, I'd never heard of any of them), who were supposed to come, but then backed out because the Boy Scouts wouldn't let openly gay teenagers in. It's terrible these folks won't play for the kids so they can make some political statement. It's asinine to punish those boys (and some girls in the Venture Crews).

It's worse than asinine.

What surprised me even more was that there was a ban on gay scouts in the first place. I had no idea. I was a very active Boy Scout in my day - I even worked five weeks each year at the Dilly's Mills Boy Scout Camp in Pocahontas County and another couple of weeks at Camp Roland in Virginia until I was too old to be a Scout. Then, I became an assistant Scoutmaster.

But a ban on gay scouts? I never knew there was such a thing.

There were, back in my day, some gay scouts (not many, but some).

I remember that we were talking about tolerance then and by tolerance, I mean treating people with respect – like human beings.

The Scout Law, “a Scout is trust-

worthy, loyal, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent,” aren't just words Scouts will recite about 50 million times in their Scouting career, they live by those words.

There have been gay Scouts as long as there have been gay teenagers. I don't know how one's sexual orientation would be an issue, or even come up. As a former heterosexual scout, I and my fellow scouts were too busy doing Scout things to think about anything.

Why is there a ban? I'll tell you why. Where do the Scouts meet?

Who provides rent-free space to millions of Scouts?

It's the churches. Most scout troops meet in churches. I'm sure there are some who do not, but I never knew of a troop that didn't.

I've seen/heard via news media, various religious leaders saying their church would cease support of Scouting if gay Scouts were allowed. If they actually went through with their threats shame on them. Double shame.

All children, boys and girls – every single last one of them – can benefit from the moral grounding and life lessons Scouting provides.

This Jamboree – and in a few years the World Jamboree will do the same – will leave a widespread, lasting impression. They

weren't just at the Summit, they were everywhere. If you drove anywhere in Southern West Virginia while it was going on, you'd surely have noticed the heavy traffic (with probably 80 percent of cars with out-of-state plates).

There have been stories in newspapers across the country about what all their local Scouts were doing in West Virginia. These Scouts will grow up someday and bring their families here.

I was at the Sandstone Falls overlook on Route 20 with my son and spoke to some New Jersey adults who had come to the Jamboree as visitors. They were fascinated by the state and asked me all sorts of questions about cicada-killing wasps (which I knew nothing about), lizards, etc. I wound up giving this explanation of the West Virginia statehood movement and how Wheeling and Parkersburg pulled it off, then were driven out of power once the Confederates were allowed to vote again. They were talking about how nice and helpful everyone was and they were absolutely captivated by West Virginia.

I am convinced this is the best public-relations West Virginia has ever had.

Now imagine what will happen when the World Jamboree comes here.

Outdoors Roundup Dad has a yellow jacket wasp's nest in the backyard near the riverbank. I have known several people who would routinely pour about a cup or two of gasoline down in the hole leading to the yellow-jacket nest, then light it on fire. You'd have yellow jackets flying out through the fire, some of them would fly out of the nest on fire, but often within a couple of days, the nest would be rebuilt.

Dad always waited until dusk and just poured the gasoline into the hole (without lighting it on fire). That always worked. A couple of years ago I moved into a house where yellow jackets had built a nest into the outside wall. I spent several days spraying shots of hornet spray into the hole, but it had little effect on the hornets.

What worked was WD-40.

To watch my father, back in the day, eradicate a yellow-jacket nest was to see not only poetry in motion, but an epic, hate-filled battle – it was to see Beowulf slay Grendel, mostly because of me, I suppose. I was deathly allergic to them as a boy.

Dad's weapon of choice was an empty, 16-ounce glass RC Cola bottle (remember those?), which

he filled from one of these metal 5-gallon gas cans he always had on his truck. As an endless stream of yellow jackets crawled to the lip of the hole that served as the portal to their nest to take flight, my father sneaked nearer, low to the ground and with an outstretched, bottle-wielding hand, toward the nest. Once the bottle was directly overhead the nest, Dad, in one fluid motion rotated the bottle and thrust the mouth of that bottle into the nest as Siegfried thrust his sword into the dragon Fafner.

Then, he ran.

I always had to watch this from a “safe” distance, because of my allergies. Yet, I remember well how that bottle would drain that gasoline into the hole, one “glug” at a time.

Dad's secret was to not burn the nest – a burned nest can be rebuilt, but make the nest inhabitable. In retrospect, the fire I'd seen others use, burned away the gasoline before it could permeate the nest.

I took shots for years and eventually got over the allergy. As an adult, anytime I've taken out a nest, it's been at night, when the yellow jackets are inactive.

Today, unlike when I was a kid, the Internet exists. I've found some interesting tips and facts about eradicating yellow jacket nests. Apparently, yellow jackets can't see red light, so I've seen suggestions of using a flashlight covered with red cellophane when eradicating nests at night.

Another tip was to wear a long sleeve jacket, with the sleeves tucked into gloves. My father, however, fought his battles in daylight – or at best dusk – with nothing but a pocket T-shirt and a black, cotton Kromer welding cap.

Applications for the West Virginia 2013 antlerless deer season limited-permit areas are now available.

These applications may also be downloaded from the DNR’s web page at www.wvdnr.gov. These limited permit areas provide antlerless deer hunting opportunities in counties or areas of the state where wildlife biologists have determined that limited numbers of antlerless deer permits are necessary to meet management objectives.

Seven wildlife management areas and three state forests

(Beaver Dam, Blackwater, Calvin Price State Forest, Elk River, Greenbrier State Forest, Huttonsville State Farm, Kumbrabow State Forest, Little Canaan, Little River and Potomac) and 10 counties or portions thereof (Boone, Clay, Fayette, Greenbrier, Mercer, Nicholas, Pendleton, Pocahontas, Raleigh and Webster) will have a limited number of Class N licenses for resident and Class NN licenses for nonresident antlerless deer hunting from Oct. 24-26 on private land only and Nov. 25Dec. 7, Dec. 19-21 and Dec. 28Dec. 31 on private and public land.

Applications must be received by the DNR before the close of business on Aug. 19. The 2013 limited antlerless deer season will provide an opportunity for 1,150 residents and nonresidents to participate on the seven WMAs or three state forests. An additional 2,800 residents and nonresidents will be selected to hunt antlerless deer in the 10 counties that are restricted to antlerless deer hunting. Resident landowners do not need a permit to hunt on their own land.

I haven't tried this personally,

but I heard that aluminum sulphate is a good way to keep slugs out of the garden. Slugs have ruined more plants in my gardens than any other kind of pest. I've used slug pesticides before – always the morning after application there would be slug slime all over the yard and brown, shriveled slug carcasses everywhere.

The aluminum powder, I'm told is too abrasive for slugs to crawl over and supposedly snakes don't like it either. Has anyone else tried this?

Speaking of bugs and snakes, I've often slept in a hammock while warm-weather camping to elevate myself from the snakes, but now there's something to keep the hammock free of bugs as well.

The Bug-Free Hammock Shield is basically a mosquito net for the hammock with a double-sided zipper to make it easy to get in and out of. It's $70 and apparently demand has been so great, there's about a one-month waiting list. It completely encloses the hammock, weighs 16 ounces and has 525 holes per square inch.

Local Church Pursues Vision

By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

TEAYS VALLEY - Under the July sun, a cross overlooks 74 acres of love, hope and joy for Putnam County.

On a bench, in front of the sprawling property, Teays Valley Church of God Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Melissa Pratt opens her Bible to Hebrews 12:1-2.

“Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God,” the scripture states.

The passage inspires Teays Valley Church of God to pursue its vision of creating a communitysurrounded place like no other.

“We’re running this race marked out for us as individuals and as a church,” Pratt said. “God has a race for Teays Valley Church of God to run - it’s our mission.”

That race includes a 74-acre property, atop a hill off Teays Valley Road. The property, named “Teays Valley Acres,” is a piece of land the church acquired more than 10 years ago under the leadership of Pastor Ken Toler.

“Our desire is to bring as many people to Christ as possible and show the love of Christ to as many people as possible,” said Pratt. “This property is a tool to accomplish both missions.”

The local pastor sees a new church with a parking lot that can hold up to 1,200 guests. She sees walking trails, a playground, and a recreational facility for the community to use.

“It’ll be a place where families can come together and bring children,” Pratt said. “It will be a community center, where every day of the week the doors will be open to Putnam County to use for

Holding on to her promise - Teays Valley Church of God Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Melissa Pratt sits on 74-acres of potential.

Photo by Justin Waybright seniors, moms, families, local sports, conferences, banquets, concerts, and in the winter time a place to come in from the cold.”

The land also has potential for soccer and softball fields, an amphitheater, a prayer garden and picnic shelters.

Last week, Teays Valley Church of God took its first step in making this vision become reality.

The congregation agreed to pursue a $1 million loan for site development.

Before the Pratt family moved to Teays Valley, the two knew Teays Valley Acres was special.

Thom Pratt used to drive from Ohio to the West Virginia property to seek direction.

“I drove up here a lot, praying for God’s vision to unfold,” the Connections Pastor said.

More than six years have passed since the Pratts answered their call to help lead the Teays Valley church. In the past, countless members of the congregation have visited the property and saturated it in prayer. Last year, the church buried scriptures in the

ground.

“We planted the seeds of faith,” he said.

Now, some of those seeds are yielding fruit, said Pastor Pratt.

On the property, an undeniable sense of peace envelops itself.

Birds sing. Butterflies dance across the grass.

“The property itself is a sanctuary all its own, with or without a building,” she said.

Brenda Kraft has attended Teays Valley Church of God for more than one year. She is excited to see it move forward with the project.

“It’s a vision put into place a long time ago and continues to be a vision here” Kraft said. “It’s so community-focused, and people use it all the time.”

The local resident is proud to attend a church that she believes is headed in the right direction with community outreach.

“It’s a phenomenal experience,” said Kraft. “We’re getting together with families, helping others and bringing them to Christ.”

“It’s a blessing - I’m excited to see God moving,” he said.

Pratt believes unity among the congregation has helped move the church and this project forward.

“We pray in every decision that we’ll all stay united through this piece of the journey that God leads us through,” he said.

Pastor Pratt is thankful that her congregation supports this journey and is willing to serve in it.

“We’ve been waiting on God’s timing, and there’s peace in that,” she said. “We have to realize in this race that we’re running dif-

ferent paces - walking, running and sprinting.”

The church visionary continued, “Now, we’re running.”

After securing its loan for site preparation, the church must get an appraisal on its current property. Then, it can move forward with construction of a new facility.

Teays Valley Church of God is praying for a $1 million gift to help it accomplish the vision: to connect with the community and show love to everyone.

Gerald W. Sutphin to Present “West Virginia Rivers, Steamboats and River Improvements” in the Archives and History Library on Aug. 6 CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Researcher, writer and historian Gerald W. Sutphin will present “West Virginia Rivers, Steamboats and River Improvements” on Tuesday, Aug. 6, in the Archives and History Library at the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex in Charleston.

The program will begin at 6 p.m. and is free and open to the public.

The invention and development of the Western River steamboat set the stage for America’s Industrial Revolution, which transformed the United States and West Virginia. Sutphin will make a visual presentation on West Virginia rivers that were improved by the invention and development of the Western River steamboat in 1811.

The rivers in West Virginia flowing into the Ohio River, from the Monongahela to the Big Sandy, help explain the role that the state played in the development of river transportation, economic development, and social and cultural changes. Sutphin will discuss how steam packets, towboats, ferries and showboats impacted citizens and the growth of West Virginia.

Sutphin is recognized as one of

the United States’ foremost inland rivers and river transportation historians. Since working for the Huntington District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for 20 years, he has been the owner/operator of a visual communication arts company for two decades and specializes as a consultant in the research, development and presentation of inland river projects such as museum exhibits, publications, and motion picture production.

Sutphin is the co-author of Sternwheelers on the Great Kanawha River, (Pictorial Histories Publishing Co., 1991); researcher, writer and producer of a 30-minute DVD history titled Two Hundred Years of Steamboating, 1811-2011; and researcher, writer and featured historian-on-film of The Great Kanawha, An American Story, which relates the history of the Kanawha River as it coincides with the history of the development of the United States.

On Aug. 6, the library will close at 5 p.m. and reopen at 5:45 p.m. for participants only. For planning purposes, participants are encouraged to register for the lec-

ture, but advance registration is not required. To register in advance, contact Bobby Taylor, library manager, at Bobby.L.Taylor@wv.gov or at (304) 558-0230, ext. 163.

Proper pruning prolongs life of Tree Consult a professional arborist before cutting Trees should be pruned according to national standards set by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). A certified International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) arborist, who is knowledgeable about ANSI standards, is the ideal person to consult before starting any pruning job or hiring someone to do it for you.

Topping trees involves removing all parts of a tree above a certain height, but is only a temporary and ineffective solu-

tion to height reduction. Topping should be avoided if possible.

Trees that are topped have shorter life spans and often become hazards to homeowners and their neighbors. Topping often removes 50-100 percent of the tree’s leafy crown, essentially starving the tree because the leaves are what produce food for the tree. The scars left behind by the removal of large branches can’t heal as readily and leave the tree vulnerable to insect invasion

and the spread of decay. New limbs that sprout are usually weaker and not able to withstand high winds and heavy snowfalls.

Older trees, including beeches, do not re-sprout easily and can die more quickly than others. Moneywise, topped trees need pruned more often and can reduce property value due to poor aesthetics.

To find a certified arborist near you or to check an arborist’s credentials, visit www.isa-arbor.com

SAMIA MITRI GHAREEB DIRANI Samia Mitri Ghareeb Dirani, 68, was welcomed into the arms of her Lord on Sunday, July 21, 2013, when her life was cut short by cancer. She was loved by so many and her presence will be missed by all.

Samia leaves a legacy of service with all who knew her. She was born the eldest daughter in a family of eight children in the small village of Aita El-Fokhar, Lebanon, and began helping care for her family at a young age. She then continued the role of caretaker when her dear husband, Saleem, fell ill early in their marriage. Samia moved to the U.S. in 1988 with her son, George, where he would continue his education and become a successful dentist.

While here, she remained tirelessly devoted to caring for her family and continually sacrificed herself to serve others in every way. Samia was a member of St. George Cathedral and the Shums Il Bir charity club. She lovingly cared for many in her extended family, including her Uncle Paul, and selflessly cared for her mother until her death after a full 96 years of life. She loved to travel and especially enjoyed her trips back to Lebanon, where she introduced her grandchildren, nieces and nephews to her treasured Lebanese values, culture and traditions. Samia's greatest emphasis in life was the importance of family above all. She remains a vibrant source of life within her family and will always be remembered for her animated, passionate speech, amazing culinary skills, immaculate attention to detail, natural sense of style and fashion and graceful poise.

She strived for and demanded excellence in all areas of life and we will always want to be more like her. We thank God for our time with her and for all that He has done for us through her. Her essence is woven into the very fiber of our being.

Samia was preceded in death

by her husband, Saleem Dirani; brothers, Fahme and George Ghareeb; and parents, Mitri and Lutfieh Ghareeb.

Samia is survived by her son, Dr. George Dirani of Beirut, Lebanon, along with his wife, Roula, and grandchildren, Saleem and Gabriella.

Siblings, Dr. Sami Ghareeb and wife, Kay, Haifa Asmar and husband, Antoine, Mike Ghareeb and wife, Kim, Awatif Shalhoub and husband, Father John, and brother, Mounir Ghareeb, will grieve her loss. She also leaves behind her nieces and nephews and their families, Dr. Mitri Ghareeb, Aline D'Amman, Dr. Samia Turner, Elie Asmar, Dr. George Shalhoub, Dr. Steven Ghareeb, Rabih Asmar, Dr. Cindy Massey, Sabrina Ghareeb, Michael Shalhoub, Kathleen Scarberry, Michael Ghareeb, Danielle Ghareeb, Dr. Erica Ghareeb, Ramzi Asmar, Dr. Paul Ghareeb, Samuel Shalhoub, Mark Ghareeb, Corey Leadmon, Elias Ghareeb, Ziad Ghareeb and Matthew Ghareeb, along with her grand-nieces and -nephews, Kalila, Samira, Jayden, Lionel, Christopher, Aleeya, Sami, Raphael, Lucas, Elias, Kinsley, Amos, Chloe, Garnett, Lily, Rhea, Juliet and Gabriel, who will all miss their treasured Aunt Samia.

Services were held at St. George Cathedral Wednesday, July 24, with Father Stephen De Young and Father John Shalhoub officiating. Interment was at Sunset Memorial Park, South Charleston.

The family asks that donations are made to St. George Cathedral, P.O. Box 2044, Charleston, WV 25327, in her memory.

The family extends a heartfelt thank you to a very special niece, Dr. Samia Turner, who, with great love and tender compassion, cared for her Aunt Samia and was constantly by her side.

Live - Love - Dance For A Cure! Zumbathon for Mesothelioma SUBMITTED STORY Asbestos is everyone’s problem! Mesothelioma is hard to say, hard to spell and hard to understand! It is a cancer with no cure and very little treatment options at this time. When Missy Dorsey Bowles lost her father to meso five years ago and just three weeks after diagnosis, she knew she had to do something to help others who face this scary diagnosis. "Seeing it take my daddy was heartbreaking and life changing in itself, but knowing others were dying too and knowing how selfless my daddy was, I had to step up in his place and in his name and help others" she says.

Usually meso takes those in retirement years due to exposure time and when symptoms start, usually 20-50 years later.

Recently Missy has connected with several young people who have received the diagnosis. "I keep fighting for this reason, a 28-year-old boy is fighting for his life and a 36-year-old lost her life just one month ago after fighting her meso battle for 6 years. She leaves behind a husband and a 10 year old son. I have connected with many others living and fighting for their lives through my efforts to raise re-

search funds. It is heartbreaking because asbestos is still not banned in the United States.

Something that is SAD and SHOCKING!!! I hope to be a 'go to' for those locally who may need guidance and help if ever they need assistance in getting this diagnosis and give them hope and direction with compassion, because I didn't have this when I needed it." she expresses.

Brian Prim with Prim Law Firm in Hurricane, WV has stepped up to sponsor Missy’s events as well as help her in all efforts to make these events successful. “Brian and his staff are a great asset to have on my side,” she quotes, “Without him and participating members, this community fundraiser would not be possible.”

Missy also hosts a RODs Benefit for Meso Fundraising Event Day, set for Sept 21, 2013 in Eleanor, WV. This is her 4th year for the 5k run/walk and benefit fun day to bring awareness and raise funds for research. Please keep watch for further announcements about this day as it gets closer.

If you LOVE Zumba or have always wanted to try it, please come join this benefit, a great cause and dance to save lives.

Missy and her Daddy. Courtesy photo Bring your friends and/or groups of zumba classes, dress in your favorite purple and lime green attire and come support this cause – Mesothelioma is taking more lives every day.

When: August 24, 2013 Where: Poca Middle School Gym Registration: $15 - August 1 ($20 after that date).

Noon - 2:00 For more information or registration forms, please visit www.rodsbenefit4meso.webs.co m, call Missy at 304-395-0636 or stop by Generation Impact Center in Poca and see Danielle.

August 24th, 2013 marks the 71st Birthday of Missy's daddy, Richard O. Dorsey and the day for the 2nd Annual Zumbathon for Mesothelioma. Danielle Dunkley (a zumba instructor at Generations in Poca) will be leading the Zumbathon as well as a few other instructors. Danielle has felt the loss from Mesothelioma also, so teaming with Missy to raise awareness and research funds has been a blessing for them both. Danielle (in yellow) with some other Zumba lovers.
