Winfield man wins silver medal at Wheelchair Games WINFIELD -- Sixty-nine year old George Jackson is a wheelchair athlete winner. Jackson, an Army Veteran from Winfield, competed in this summer’s National Veterans Wheelchair Games in Richmond, Va., bringing home a silver medal in hand cycling. He also participated in the air gun competition. It was the first time for Jackson at the weeklong games that showcased multiple athletic events, and is open to U.S. military Veterans who use wheelchairs for sports competition due to spinal cord injuries, amputations or certain neurological problems. Jackson suffered a combat wound to his right leg while serving in Vietnam. Last year, the pain and continued issues with the decades old injury led to amputation of the limb. While undergoing rehabilitation and physical therapy, Jackson learned of the Wheelchair Games from the staff at the Huntington VA Medical Center. It’s an experience that he hopes

“There were 800 disabled Veterans participating there,” said Jackson. “That was amazing to me.” By Huntington VAMC Office of Public Affairs
Mining company buys land in Putnam Business Park By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
FRAZIERS BOTTOM – An Australian-based mining and manufacturing company has purchased 11 acres of land in the Putnam Business Park in Fraziers Bottom. The purchase of land was made on Aug. 2, following a meeting of the Putnam County Commission on July 24 where
commissioners approved a Payment In Lieu of Taxes (PILOT) agreement for an unnamed company that had expressed interest in locating in the Business Park. The agreement gives the company a 20percent tax deduction on real property for 20 years. The land was purchased by Ludowici LLC, which describes itself as one of Australia’s oldest manufacturing companies,
specializing in the delivery of world-class minerals processing and materials handling equipment. The purchase price of the 11.02 acres was not listed. Currently, Ludowici has North American offices in Chapmanville and in Wytheville, Va., according to its website. The company is expected to move its Chapmanville opera-
tions to Putnam County once construction of a new 150,000 square foot facility in the business park is completed. Initially, the company is expected to bring 70-80 jobs to the area, but that number could rise depending on market conditions. The jobs reportedly pay in the $18-$19 an hour range.

Attorney General warns state residents of Medicare scam SUBMITTED ARTICLE CHARLESTON -- West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw is warning the public about fraudulent telephone calls. A bogus company misrepresents that it is calling on behalf of Medicare. This company seeks personal information, including Social Security numbers, for purposes of enrolling people in Medicare. There have been numerous calls received at the ElderWatch office from concerned citizens who have experienced these
types of calls. ElderWatch is a consumer protection partner of the Attorney General s office and is operated by the AARP Foundation. Citizens calling ElderWatch to complain have had eerily similar experiences. The scammers are calling individuals asking for their checking account numbers. Those who answer their phones are being told that the government needs to send them new Medicare cards and recipients will not have coverage without the new card.
This scam has hit the north central area of West Virginia and has reached many in a short period of time. Reports have been received from Monongalia, Marion, Harrison and Barbour counties. Be alert of anyone wanting personal information and never feel pressured to volunteer such information. ”Scams are damaging to the victims and in times like these we should all provide each other with the accurate knowledge to avoid falling into these fraudu-
lent tricks,” stated McGraw. ”It is my job to educate and protect West Virginia consumers and I want everyone to be highly suspicious of telephone calls from individuals demanding bank account or social security numbers. No legitimate government organization or business will call asking for private information by phone.” To ensure the safety of your personal information, do not provide anything like account numbers or social security numbers to anyone who calls asking
for it. It is always best to offer to call back and then proceed to contact the Attorney General s office to ask for help. If you believe you may have been the victim of this scam contact the Attorney General s ConProtection Division sumer immediately. To report a scam or file a complaint, West Virginians can reach the Attorney General s Office online at www.wvago.gov or by calling the Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-368-8808.
Putnam Couple sues car dealer for traffic accident By Kyla Asbury www.wvrecord.com
CHARLESTON - A Putnam County couple is suing Joe Holland Chevrolet for an accident that caused injuries. Garland Wilson Hannan, an employee of Joe Holland Chevrolet, was also named as a defendant in the suit. On Aug. 13, 2010, Judith Whittington was operating her motor vehicle at the intersection of Washington and Jefferson Roads in South Charleston
when Hannan put a vehicle owned by Joe Holland Chevrolet into reverse and backed into Whittington's vehicle, according to a complaint filed July 26 in Kanawha Circuit Court. Whittington claims that Hannan backed the motor vehicle up at a fast rate of speed into her vehicle and as a result, caused her to suffer severe and permanent physical and mental injuries. Hannan had a duty to operate the vehicle in a reasonably prudent manner and breached
COMPANY FROM PAGE 1 comment on the purchase of the property referring questions to the company. The company has said that a formal announcement will be made in due time.

that duty, according to the suit. Whittington claims Hannan's negligence is elevated to reckless misconduct in that at the time of the collision, Hannan was also operating a cellular phone and not paying attention to operating his vehicle.
The defendants' actions also caused Whittington's husband, Nyle Whittington, to sustain a loss of consortium, according to the suit. The Whittingtons are seeking compensatory and punitive damages.
They are being represented by Michael J. Del Giudice. The case has been assigned to Circuit Judge James C. Stucky. Kanawha Circuit Court case number: 12-C-1496

DHHR confirms three swine flu cases in Mason County CHARLESTON -- The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Office of Epidemiology and Prevention Services is confirming three human cases of H3N2v in Mason County. H3N2v is an influenza A virus that contains genes from avian, swine and human viruses that normally circulates in swine, but can infect humans. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced last week an increase in reported H3N2v cases in several states including Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, mostly
affecting children who had exposure to swine at agriculture fairs. State Health Officer and Commissioner for Public Health Dr. Marian Swinker said, “The CDC has reported that more than 90 percent of the H3N2v cases to date have occurred in children, all of whom have had exposure to swine, mostly at agricultural fairs or festivals. West Virginia has confirmed three cases of H3N2v in Mason County also linked to attendance at the Gallia County Fair in Ohio where swine were present.”
Symptoms of H3N2v virus infection so far have been similar to seasonal flu. While most cases have been mild, a number of hospitalizations have occurred. No fatalities have been reported. Swinker said, “We will not be surprised to identify more cases of H3N2v in West Virginia as surveillance efforts to detect this illness have increased. CDC has not reported ongoing community human-to-human transmission with this virus, however, limited human-to-human transmission with H3N2v has been seen in the
past and could occur again. All the cases of H3N2v infection identified since July 2012 confirmed by CDC have had exposure to swine. So preventive actions are key.” Swinker said all persons should take precautions, including frequent handwashing, especially in settings where swine may be present, and not eating food or drink in the areas where swine are kept. Additionally, people who are at high risk of serious flu complications should consider avoiding
exposure to pigs and swine barns this fair season according to CDC. This includes, children younger than 5 years, people 65 years and older, pregnant women, and people with certain chronic medical conditions like asthma, diabetes, heart disease, weakened immune systems, and neurological or neurodevelopmental conditions. The seasonal flu vaccine is not expected to protect against H3N2v, however the vaccine is still recommended to protect against other circulating influenza viruses.

Kanawha Valley Community College opens new facilities SUBMITTED ARTICLE SOUTH CHARLESTON Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College officially opened the doors of its new campus this week with a grand opening ceremony Wednesday. Attended by faculty, staff, guests and past, present and future students, the ceremony celebrated the long-awaited completion of the college’s new state-of-the-art campus. Speakers headlining the festivities included Congresswoman
Shelley Moore Capito, the First Lady of West Virginia, Joanne Tomblin, South Jaeger Charleston Mayor, Frank Mullens, Chancellor of the West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education, James Skidmore, and KVCTC President, Joseph Badgley. “West Virginia has a history of educating and training a strong, dedicated work force,” said Capito. “The Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College will help us continue this
legacy by providing modern skills and education training in a variety of fields, from nuclear medicine to masonry. I am excited to learn more about the opportunities this new facility will bring to West Virginians.” The event, held at the college’s new home in the West Virginia Regional Technology Park, included presentations, refreshments and tours of the new grounds. Guides were on hand to escort attendees through the college’s
expansive classrooms, offices and groundbreaking labs. The new spacious facility boasts over 30,000 more square feet than the college’s previous location. “We’ve been looking forward to this for a long time,” KVCTC President Joseph Badgley said. “This new facility is the culmination of our efforts to bring cutting-edge, modern and technologically-advanced higher education opportunities to the students of West Virginia,” he said. The new campus is strategi-
cally located to make the most of KVCTC’s partnerships throughout the community. Close proximity to corporate partners like Dow Chemical and CAMC increases the convenience of students’ ability to gain marketable experience while attending a technically advanced center for higher education. Now being centrally located in the Kanawha Valley reduces commuting costs for students, making a college degree more accessible and affordable.

The Putnam Standard
Hall of Fame celebrates state’s rich musical heritage TEAYS VALLEY - Michael Lipton wanted to celebrate the musical heritage of West Virginia. Few people realize the number of performers and composers which come from our state, he told the Putnam Rotary Club at the group’s meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 7. As Bill Withers from Slab Fork once said, "You can leave West Virginia, but it will follow you wherever you go." Among other hits, Withers wrote "Ain't No Sunshine," and "Lean On Me." Lipton visited the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, and became obsessed with a mission to recognize the unique qualities of music from his own Mountain State. "It's important to know the great musicians who came from West Virginia and the way in which the state influenced them. "West Virginia," he said, has produced world class players and songwriters who have influenced every genre of music. "There was Kanawha County's Clark Kessinger," he said, "who many believe was
WV Music Hall of Fame Director Michael Lipton (left) and Curator Jeff Shirley discussed the state's musical heritage with the Putnam Rotary Club on Tuesday. Courtesy photo the best old-time fiddle player - ever. Classical violinists went to see him. "Wheeling had WWVA which influenced countless musicians. It had the longest running live musical program next to the Grand Ole Opry, and anybody worth their salt was on it." Lipton received a grant for planning and for visits to view similar projects in other states. And then he organized the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame. The first class of inductees was recognized in 2007.
"We started out from scratch," said Lipton who is executive director of the nonprofit. "It was two hours of live TV." Among those inducted into the Hall of Fame over the years are Hazel Dickens and Little Jimmy Dickens. Other members include Johnnie Johnson from Fairmont, who was Chuck Berry's longtime keyboard player. Then there is Billy Ed Wheeler, born in Boone County, who wrote "Ode to the
Little Brown Shack Out Back," and "I'm Just a Little Chuck of Coal." Wheeling's Billy Cox played base several years for Jimi Hendrix.Leon "Chu" Berry, also from Wheeling, was a swing tenor saxophonist. Crumb from George Charleston's East End is one of the most avant garde classical composers of the world. Then there is Walter "Jack" Rollins from Keyser wrote "Peter Cottontail" and "Frosty the Snow Man," two of America's most popular songs. Rollins was inducted into the Music Hall of Fame last year. And don't forget Maceo Pinkard from Bluefield, one of the greatest composers of the "Harlem Renaissance" who wrote the ever-popular "Sweet Georgia Brown." One of the most enjoyable jobs in the project for Michael Lipton is rediscovering all of the musicians from West Virginia andpublishing the information for others to enjoy. The Music Hall of Fame induction ceremony next year will be in Wheeling as a part of its sesquicentennial celebra-
tion of the state's "first capital." A major task for the Music Hall of Fame is bringing about a public awareness of the state's musical heritage. A grant from the West Virginia Department of Education funded visits throughout the state, says Lipton. The Hall of Fame visited two schools in every county with a "traveling museum." A 40-inch interactive touch screen enables visitors to discover artists from any area and view their biographies and see and hear sound and video clips. Additional schools were visited in Putnam County through a grant from the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation.
