Boy Scout Jamboree 2013 provides great memories SUBMITTED STORY Boy Scout Jamboree 2013 is over, but memories will live on for many Scouts, but especially for four boys that went to the much anticipated event.

Brothers, Aaron and Alston Calub, and their cousins, Jay Hall and Tommy Wolfe raised and saved money for over a year and a half to pay for their chance to experience the very first event of its kind in the Boy Scouts of America.

The four toured Washington, D.C. for two days with the other Scouts from Buckskin Council before arriving in Glen Jean at the Summit Bechtel Reserve.

Touted as the newest and advanced high adventure park, the Summit Bechtel Reserve provided adrenaline pumping fun for the registered Scouts and Venturers that fulfilled age, rank, and physical fitness requirements to be accepted into National Boy Scout Jamboree.

The four boys, grandsons of Harold and Pat Cathey, did not take many pictures despite the

availability of cell service and cell phone charging stations (a first for a Boy Scout Jamboree), but they had plenty of jaw-dropping action. Aaron tried the climbing walls at Boulder Cove, tried out his skills at the newest and greatest skate park on the East Coast in the Park, and BMX

biking area designed by one of the best course designers in the world.

Alston, Jay and Tommy went white-water rafting, attempted paddle boarding, and managed to complete the timed water obstacle course full of objects that remind one of those found on

the television show Wipe Out. All of the four boys visited the technology center called, the Cloud, took nearly a ten mile hike round trip to Garden Ground Mountain, climbed the Suitability Tree House, walked across the ever so slightly swaying suspension bridge built by

Consol Energy, participated in a community service project by clearing and stabilizing a biking trail, and had great seats at a stadium show featuring Mike Rowe and 3Doors Down. A couple of them braved the bazaar-like training areas with towels on the ground laden with patches (it’s a Scout thing) to trade patches with other Scout from across the U.S., Canada, and overseas.

Wow! They had so much fun they all want to go back there in four years at the National Boy Scout Jamboree in 2017. One of them wants to go to the World Jamboree held in Japan in 2015, but that may be a little out of reach as only one contingent (28 boys) are allowed from each country. For the World Jamboree hosted at the Summit Bechtel Reserve in 2019, all seven grandsons of Harold and Pat want to go; if the rule of only 28 are allowed form each country, it may be a stretch, but it would be a dream if all of the grandchildren from ages 13 to 20 could possibly attend.

By Mary Jane “FAIRS, FESTIVALS, FUN” Thought for the week: And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Colossians 3: 17 (KJV) Once again, the Cabell County fair and amusement rides were held at our Milton fairgrounds. In October the Pumpkin Festival will begin. These are good for the communities. Milton should be proud of it grounds and buildings and to present this entertainment.

I attended the fair. It was clean, the food was great, and everyone - from the one growing the biggest sweet pepper to the prize-winning quilt to the cutest pig - all deserve a hand. All the FFA participants did a great job.

Milton should be especially proud of its Performing Arts Center building. The singing groups and school show choirs have a

nice building to perform in. And those hosting various dinners have a great place to meet. Plus the grounds are kept clean at all times. These are good family fun occasions for all to enjoy.

I am sure Jesus laughed and had fun while walking on the roads with his disciples.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalms 2: 4.

God intended for man to laugh and enjoy his life and by attending such community activities as these brings family time together - to enjoy without driving many miles.

Meeting your friends and neighbors, catching up on one another’s lives, enriches each of us in our daily life.

And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works; Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is;

The Putnam Standard but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10: 24-25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together.

We can easily become discontented with one another; especially how church is conducted, but we all have offending faults.

Just as someone has said hurtful words to you, you may have also said something to someone and may never intend it. Isn’t that what God wants us to realize. If one eye goes blind, causing a seeing problem for your body, would you not seek help to see again?

Such as in the church, we are one body. Forgive those who offend you and forsake not assembling yourselves together at church or other functions. Life itself is such a short span, be forgiving one to another and your heart will rejoice with comfort again.

If we spend our time with regrets over yesterday, and worries over what might happen tomorrow, we have no TODAY in which to live.

Prayer: Our Father in Heaven, guide each of us to love and accept one another, as we fellowship together in this life. Amen.

Tri-County YMCA The Skinny: Aug. 13, 2013 Food Labels – You Are What You Read (Part 1) Knowing what to eat is an essential part of leading a healthy lifestyle. The best way to do this is by becoming an educated consumer and learning how to read labels. Labels provide a wealth of information on food including calories, fat, vitamins, sodium and other factors that can play a role in a healthy lifestyle. At first glance, food labels can seem overwhelming.

It’s all about knowing and understanding how the information on a food label can affect one’s diet.

Start at the top. Serving size and servings per container are

two different things. It’s important to know that a serving size is the amount for one serving and there could be multiple servings. So, a box of crackers may have 120 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving, but could have 5 servings. It’s important to know the serving size for portion control.

The %Daily Value section of a food label is another good guide to use when evaluating food labels. Based on a 2,000 calorie a day diet, Daily Values are average levels of nutrients a person should have daily. For example, if it says a food item is 7% fat, that means 7% of the amount of fat that a person

BANKRUPTCY RELIEF • Foreclosures • Repossessions • Phone Calls Free consultations with

Attorney Mitch Klein

who follows a 2,000 calorie a day diet would eat. Daily Values are for an entire day – not just one meal or one snack. Remember, not everyone eats 2,000 calories a day and it differs for everyone. Some may need more or less than 100% of a Daily Value.

Nutrients such as fat, cholesterol and sodium are important to monitor. Eating less of these can help with issues such as heart disease and high blood pressure. Total fat includes the three types – saturated, polyunsaturated and monounsaturated and these should be limited to the 100% Daily Value or less per day. Sodium intake is particularly important to monitor for those with high blood pressure. Next week will include information and tips on other nutrients and the importance of reading the actual ingredients on the food label – all a part of being an educated food consumer!

PIONEER WOMEN My sister-in-law gave me a book several years ago entitled “Pioneer Women: The Lives of Women on the Frontier” by Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith. This book contains some wonderful reading about our ancestors and the women who made up the country which was unsettled in many places. I was reading one winter all the firsthand accounts of the women who followed their husbands out west to start the good life and was so engrossed in the fact that the entire family put all their belongins in a covered wagon and headed west to the great hope of finding fortune.

Some of these people just wanted an adventure, but I think the women got the rough end of the deal. Cooking on an open flame every day would make me turn back and go home to the civilization.

These women and men faced many dangers along the way and some did not make it. Some had to stay in places they had not intended as the oxen or the horses that pulled the wagon just up and died. Many left the east and all their family and friends to start a new life in the west.

One lady said she was so lonely while in Kansas she longed for the birds as there were no trees in the area she lived and therefore no birds. She had a husband and he had to be out working all day and she said if it wasn't for her baby boy and his little voice she did not know what she would have done. I thought that was very sweet.

Another lady had just gotten married and she and her husband were along for the adventure as they did not have a family yet and it was just the two of them. They had a great time and helped the other families.

I also learned that the Studebaker brothers started out by making the best covered wagons for the journey westward.

My uncle Charlie had a Studebaker car and that is a little history of the brothers and their endeavors. You may want to look up the Studebaker brothers and see what else they came up with.

I found a book at a yard sale on the history of Arizona and learned about the man who invented air conditioning. I had never heard his story before. You will also have to look him up as his story is very interesting also.

The women who travelled in these caravans were very resourceful and usually helped each other along the way.

On the prairie there was no wood for the fire so the women had to use buffalo chips to start the fires. One woman said isn't that just like the Lord to provide for them on the prairie. These people depended on the Lord and He did let them start a new life. The study of these people’s lives is very interesting for all you who like history.

The Putnam Standard

Behind the lens: How one Photographer Rose from the Ashes

By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

NITRO - Eddie Ferrari is a picture of humility and selflessness.

Portraits he's captured cover the walls of homes across the state. His business Picture Guy, is a household name in Putnam and Kanawha counties.

One of his best-known pieces is an attention-arresting take on local cancer survivor Jeremy Huff.

The Picture Guy stays busy.

Ferrari's reputation of producing quality, one-of-a-kind art is like a magnet to clients.

Yes, Ferrari and Picture Guy are successful. Yes, business is good.

However, the road to this point has not been a smooth one.

There have been bumps and turns along the way.

But this is a story of redemption. It's a tale of success through adversity. It's a picture of the familiar struggle of self vs God. This is a journey through the lens of one of the area's most respected photographers.

It begins more than 25 years ago with the marriage of Eddie and Beth Ferrari.

The love of photography framed their bond.

Holding a camera was and always has been second nature for the two Nitro residents.

"My first pay job was a wedding when I was a sophomore in high school," the Hurricane High School graduate said. "Throughout high school, I worked in the dark room and was the yearbook photographer."

Just miles away at Nitro High School, Eddie's future wife Beth was doing the same thing.

"I also did the yearbook, anniversaries and receptions - we both had a love for photography," she said.

After graduating, the two met, fell in love and married.

It didn't take long until the Ferraris desired to have children and

raise a family. To help accomplish that goal, they needed stable income.

So, Beth and Eddie created Ferrari Foto.

"One day, Beth and I were at a baseball game and saw a guy taking action photos, and we got the idea to do this," said Eddie. "The little league business blew up and so did football and basketball."

The Ferraris saved enough money to purchase a zoom lens for sports shots.

Business boomed like never before.

"The pictures...people just devoured them," said Beth.

More and more photographers emerged, following the Ferraris' example. And not too long after this, the "digital age" was born.

To keep up with demand, the Ferraris decided to print pictures on site at the games Eddie was covering. This posed its own set of challenges.

"People told me I was out of my mind and that there was no way to do that," he said. "But I got a computer, Beth learned to crop and bing-bang-boom - people were buying them like hotcakes."

It seemed like Ferrari Foto was on top of the world, but then... kur-plunk.

It fell.

"I had a lot of events on Sunday and Wednesday and wasn't going to church...things went south for us," explained Eddie. "I just...left Him out of the picture."

Beth agreed. Her passion for photography began to rapidly fade.

"I got to where I resented it and didn't care if I ever took another picture," she said.

Ferrari Foto failed to bring the income the growing family needed. Discouragement and fear crept in.

But, Lifetouch came to the rescue.

"We needed stability and Lifetouch brought us stability, steady income and insurance," Beth said.

give this Ferrari Foto thing one more try," said Eddie.

Slowly but gradually, the business rose from the ashes.

The husband-and-wife team changed the name to Picture Guy Photography and hired a graphics designer to give customers something they had never seen before.

Last week, the two gave the business to God during a special dedication service at Teays Valley Church of God. More than one year has passed since Picture Guy emerged from the dead. And now, it's alive with growth and potential.

The Ferraris' phone rings with requests. Eddie is photographing sessions and booking appointments constantly and consistently.

"I feel like God has given us a second chance," he said. "I can see the Lord doing things through us and in the business."

Moments later, emotion hit Eddie like rain. The family man and business owner was overwhelmed.

Tears flooded his eyes as he thought back to the winding road he walked and where it has led him.

"The Lord expects us as fathers to provide for our children, and this last 10-year-period away from the church, not doing what God wanted us to do...I failed miserably," he said, fighting tears.

"But, one Wednesday, I came to a prayer meeting at Teays Valley Church of God and told Him, 'I'm done...I've made a mess of things...I just give up...It's all in your hands now."

The past decade has been a journey with ups and downs. But the Ferraris have learned a lot.

They have overcome a lot.

Eddie is humbled by it all. He is not the same man who began Ferrari Foto more than 10 years ago.

"We failed ourselves, our customers and God because we thought we could do it all on our own," Eddie said. "We're not able, so we need to let God use us, because He is able."

Now, a local businessman has a restored life. A wife has a renewed joy. A family has a rocksolid hope for the future.

It's August 2013 and a photographer, who walked through ups and downs, discouragement and defeat and fear and failure puts on a WVU hat backward.

A familiar Canon digital camera rests on his shoulder. The Picture Guy cleans his lens. Through it, he sees new memories, a new hope and a new future.

For five years, Eddie worked for the school-centeredphotography-company. Still unsatisfied, he quit and took on a position with Action Images.

Eddie remained there for three years until back injuries forced him out of a job. More defeat and discouragement met the Ferraris.

Down-and-out, Beth and Eddie saw their world crashing all around them. The fear of what tomorrow would hold haunted the two and the uncertainty of income worried them.

But they had one last option.

Homegrown love and food - Mil-ton Farm's Tim Appleton plays music during the annual Kids' Day at the Putnam County Farmers' Market. Photo by Justin Waybright

By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

HURRICANE - Local men and women are reaping the fruits of their labor at the Putnam County Farmers' Market.

On Saturday Aug. 3, residents crowded into city park to purchase homegrown food from local growers while boys and girls enjoyed the annual Kids' Day celebration.

Farmers' Market Manager Michael Null smiled as he bagged some fresh tomatoes for a customer.

"This year we're a little more successful - from July to now, we've really picked up in sales and customer base," he said.

"This is pretty awesome - it's

the only place I really love coming to, and I don't look at it as a job."

Across from Null, an acoustic guitar echoed soothing melodies of hope. Local farmer Tim Appleton played music for the vendors and guests.

For the Hope Christian Center member, it takes faith to be a farmer.

"And it takes a lot of trust," Appleton added. "It's very easy to see the life cycle of the natural world as spiritual."

The Ona resident and worker at Mil-ton Farms loves planting and harvesting meals for his family.

"It's a nice feeling to have your dinner from the backyard," he said. "The benefits are 100 times

Children and adults also enjoyed the Huskeys Ice Cream stand.

Lynne Fruth, President and Chairman of the Board for Fruth Pharmacy, awarded door prizes to both children and adults after the picnic.

“Our company is a family company. For this reason, we know the value of our employees and the value of spending time with their families. We are happy to provide a special day of activities that include many things for their children to enjoy,” commented Fruth.

Fruth Family Fun Day concluded after several relaxing hours in the Wave Pool.

DORIS E. "JEANIE" COOK On August 3, 2013, God welcomed an angel, Doris Jeanie Cook, into His loving arms. She now dwells in her forever home with her mother, Phyllis McCutcheon Meester, and sister, Paula Gardner.

Jeanie was born March 31, 1959, to Phyllis and Paul Vernon Mooney. Her father passed away the next year in 1960.

KATHY HENSLEY KING Kathy Hensley King, 54, of Charleston, passed peacefully at home on August 5 surrounded by her daughters, husband and a cloud of witnesses after battling the cancer that so ravaged her body.

Kathy was born in Charleston to James F. and Joann A. Hensley, both deceased. She obtained her nursing degrees from Morris Harvey/University of Charleston (ASN), West Virginia University (BSN) and Marshall University Graduate College (MSN management), as well as completing the Certified Registered Nurse Program at CAMC School of Anesthesia. Her professionalism through her service and care as a CRNA was evident to both patients and peers, as she mentored many and comforted even more.

In her last position at Cabell Huntington Hospital, the circle of medical professionals of which she was a part, gave her the encouragement that supported the passion for the profession she so loved.

She was able to carry this passion through mission trips to Nicaragua, Belize and, most re-

Friday,August 16,2013 – Page 11 cently, Haiti, where she was a member of a small team from Charleston responding to the devastating earthquake there in 2010. In addition to that trip, she returned several times, providing orthopedic and burn care to the residents of Milot through CRUDEM. In addition to being a loving and giving wife, mother, grandmother and aunt, her avocation became tennis. She could be found several evenings every week either playing or in clinics and participated in tournaments through USTA. Her team in 2006 advanced to the finals in Palm Springs, Calif., and proudly represented the Ohio Valley area.

Kathy was also passionate about her church, Christ Church United Methodist, where she and Jim became members in 1987 with several of who would become her church sisters. As this bond developed, many events were experience by the group individually and the entire families at times camping and enjoying holidays together.

Most recently she was excited and fortunate to travel to the beach and the mountains with them, experiencing the beauty of nature at the locations visited and the friendship and bond of ties developed over the years.

Through the beauty of her being, character and personality enjoyed by many, she will be sorely missed by those of us left with countless memories of so many experiences with her. She is survived by her husband, Jim of Charleston; daughters, Kaitlyn Hillegas, husband, Zachary, and grandson, Bruce Isaiah, of Pittsburgh, Pa., and Jane of Charleston; sister, Donna Clay and husband, Joey, of Scott Depot; nephew, Justin and wife, Mallory, of Scott Depot; and niece, Whitney Snyder and husband, Sam, of Morgantown.

West Virginia Reading Association Annual Conference set for Nov. 21-22 WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, WV - Approximately 600 reading education professionals from across the state are expected to “RediscoverWestVirginia Through Reading,” at the 58th annual West Virginia Reading Association (WVRA) Conference Nov. 21-22 at the Greenbrier Resort.

“The theme for this year coincides with theWestVirginia Sesquicentennial,” said Dr. Robert L. Harrison, Jr., Dean of the College of Professional Studies at West Virginia State University (WVSU) and this year’s conference coordinator.

“TheWVRA is promoting the state’s rich literary heritage in schools and communities across the state this year, culminating with this conference in November.”

In addition to more than 35 workshops that will explore the state’s rich literary heritage over the course of the two-day event, the conference will feature two nationally known speakers with ties to West Virginia.

Bil Lepp, noted West Virginia tall-tale teller and children’s author, will speak on Thursday, Nov. 21, during the conference’s first gen-

eral session.

Lepp is a five-time winner of the Liars Contest Award given during the Vandalia Gathering, held each Memorial Day Weekend, and has appeared on several National Public Radio programs, including “Michael Feldman’s Whad’ya Know” and “Inside Appalachia.”

He has published 12 audio recording, three collections of short stories, a novel, a non-fiction book on parenting, and his children’s book, “The King of Little Things,” is scheduled for a Fall 2013 release by Peachtree Publishers.

Dr. Gary Phillips will be the keynote speaker at the conference’s general session on Friday, Nov. 22. Phillips is a graduate of WVSU and the W.Va. College of Graduate Studies. Currently, he is a Vice President and Institute Fellow at the American Institutes for Research in the Behavioral Sciences in Washington, D.C. He has published or presented over 200 papers, taught dozens of advanced graduate level statistics courses, and presented hundreds of workshops on advanced statisti-

cal topics.

Phillips is also the author of the report, “Internationally Benchmarking State Performance Standards,” published in May 2010. The report contained an analysis of the international competitiveness of state reading standards, and showed how state reading performance standards, including West Virginia, compared to international reading performance standards.

In addition to the keynote

speakers at the conference’s general sessions, there are two author luncheons. The Thursday author luncheon will feature Sammie Garnett, a retired educator who is committed to inspiring and promoting the value of military service as early as elementary school through her series of “Alphabet” books.

The Friday Luncheon speaker will be Anna Smucker whose first Children’s book was entitled, “No Star Nights” which is a sentimental

tribute the steel industry along the Ohio River.

While the focus of the two-day event is on reading, Friday’s general session will also feature a medley of West Virginia songs played and sung by the WVSU band and choir.

The conference is open to all educators, civic organizations, parent groups and community leaders.
