Groundbreaking set for Tuesday for Animal Shelter

Hurricane defeats Winfield 44-7 in county battle By Jack Bailey

By Jack Bailey

WINFIELD – A groundbreaking ceremony to start construction of a new Putnam County Animal Shelter has been set for Tuesday, Aug. 28, at 1 p.m. The public is invited to attend. Earlier this month, the Putnam County Commission passed an ordinance to finance construction of the new animal shelter. The financing closed on Friday, Aug. 17, and BBL Carlton, the contractor on the project, began work to clear brush on Monday. The new animal shelter will be located on the Eleanor side of the Ross Booth Memorial Bridge at Winfield. It will replace an existing facility in Winfield that has been in use for 27 years. As envisioned by the architectural firm Silling Associates, the new animal shelter will feature 46 kennels for dogs, nearly double the capacity of the current shelter, and will also feature a system that will keep the kennels easier to clean. The new facility will also feature inside and outdoor “bonding areas” where those looking to adopt a dog or cat will have time to play with the animal. The facility will also have two entrances, one for the public looking to adopt an animal, and a separate entrance where animals are brought into the building. Once construction begins, depending on the weather, it is hoped that the new animal shelter can open to the public by late spring or early summer 2013.

HURRICANE – A large crowd turned out at Hurricane High School Friday night to watch the host Redskins defeat cross county rival Winfield by a final score of 44-7. In the first game of the season for both teams, the Redskins started the scoring early as an errant punt snap by the Generals sailed out of the back of the end zone giving Hurricane a 2-point safety. From there, Hurricane's high powered offense kicked into gear. Junior quarterback Austin Hensley hit junior receiver Koi Turner for a touchdown on the Redskin's first possession to go up 9-0 following the extra point. The Hensley to Turner combination proved an effective one throughout the evening as Turner finished the night with 10 catches for 147 yards. Also in the first half, Hurricane junior Zach Fitzsimmons scored on an 8-yard touchdown catch. Hensley scored on a 1-yard rush and senior Cory Hurd scored on a 2-yard run, as

touchdown reception. Later, Hurricane junior Zach Pate added a 98-yard touchdown run to complete the Redskins scoring. In all, Hurricane rolled up

nearly 500 yards of offense on the evening, including more than 300 yards passing for Hensley. SEE FOOTBALL ON PAGE 10

Marshall unveils new parking garage as students return to class HUNTINGTON, W.Va. – Students reporting to Marshall University’s Huntington campus for the start of fall classes today, Monday, Aug. 27, will have new parking from which to choose. A $7 million, six-story parking facility located on Sixth Avenue next to the Joan C. Edwards Performing Arts Center will be open and ready for business. The garage has 411 spaces and two elevators, and payment will be 50 cents an hour for employees, students and guests. Employees also have the choice of paying a flat fee of $40 a month. About 40 metered spaces from the surface lot used for staging the garage project will be available as well. “This new parking facility will help commuter students and guests on campus,” said Jim Terry, Marshall’s director of public safety. “We are looking forward to implementing this kind of operation for the first time on our campus. We think a lot of people will take advantage of these new spaces.” Terry said the entrance to the garage Monday, Aug. 27, through Wednesday, Aug. 29, will be off John Marshall Drive and the 5 ½ alley. Beginning on Thursday, the 30th, the main entrance on 6th Avenue will be open. All that week, Aug. 27-31, parking in the new facility will be free. Prices go into effect after Labor Day. The garage will be open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. each Mon-

Marshall’s new six-story parking facility, which has 411 spaces, will be open in time for the start of the fall semester today, Monday, Aug. 27. day through Friday, with no overnight parking. It will be closed on weekends, although that could change depending on demand. The facility is brightly lit and energy efficient and has 50 cameras and 12 emergency phones. It is one of many projects at various levels completed this summer – some on campus, some off – by Marshall University. Some of the major ones include: Extensive renovations to the Robert W. Coon Education Building at the Huntington VA Medical Center in Spring Valley, now the home of Marshall’s School of Pharmacy. The $8.9 million overhaul resulted in a cutting-edge, technology-enabled learning environment and research facility. A ribbon cutting celebrating the

school’s opening took place Aug. 14. Abatement and demolition of Memorial Field House on Fifth Avenue to make room for a new Marshall University soccer complex, which will open in 2013. Cost was $616,000. Marshall’s men’s team will play most of its home matches this fall in Charleston and Hurricane, while the women will play home matches at Cabell Midland, Huntington and Hurricane high schools. Renovations of 40 classrooms in Corbly, Harris and Smith halls on the Huntington campus. Technology upgrades were made, new furniture, white boards and podiums were purchased, and many rooms were painted and received electrical upgrades.

Byrd Institute for Advanced Flexible Manufacturing in downtown Huntington for $165,000. Various concrete replacement projects at Joan C. Edwards Stadium for $37,000. Numerous other summer projects – some large, some small – were completed, such as replacing the sidewalk at Gullickson Hall for $26,500 and converting the former auditorium on the second floor of Old Main to office space for $240,000. Many landscaping projects were completed during the summer, and repairs and upgrades were made in many buildings. In

Jenkins Hall, room 101 was painted and received new carpeting; in Corbly Hall, automatic doors were replaced; in Old Main, central heat and air conditioning were added in three rooms on the third floor. In Henderson Center, old lights were replaced in the concourse; and, trees were removed near Corbly Hall. Off campus, the site of the 1970 Marshall plane crash in Kenova was spruced up. Also, Marshall’s residence halls received an upgrade in wireless connectivity, HVAC units and carbon monoxide detectors. A major and required project was the installation of the carbon monoxide detectors in all residence halls that use gas. Holderby Hall received 15 detectors, Twin Towers East 31, Twin Towers West 31, Buskirk Hall nine, First Year Residence Hall North 11 and First Year Residence Hall South 11. Total cost of this project was more than $61,000. The John Marshall Dining Room in the Memorial Student Center underwent a $125,000 renovation this summer. Among the improvements are new flooring, upholstery, countertops, equipment and cabinets. New vertical banners now hang from the front of the Joseph M. Gillette Welcome Center on the corner of 5th Avenue and Hal Greer Boulevard. The green and white Welcome Center banners are highly visible to traffic from all directions.

VELLA MAE KITTS Vella Mae Kitts of Hurricane, formerly of North Matewan, departed this life on Saturday, August 18, 2012. The daughter of the late Sylvanus and Rosa Mae Norris, Vella was born in Ashland, N.C., on February 20, 1926. She was preceded in death by her husband, Oren P. Kitts; and her only sister, LaVonne Pennington. Survivors include a brother, Shelton (Joyce) Norris of Creston, N.C.; three sons, Donald (Lois) of Pikeville, Ky.; Gene (Kathy) of Charleston, and Sam (Lenora) of St. Louis, Mo. Vella was very proud of her grandsons, Gerrit (Meredith) and Josh (Sara); and her granddaughters, Megan (Ricky) Cremeans, Alexandra Kitts and Jessica (Jared) Branham, but her two great-granddaughters Anneka and Jaryn, put a special sparkle in her eyes. Her first great-grandson, Nathaniel, is expected in September. She spent much of her early life in Majestic, Ky., after her father moved his family there in search of employment during the Great Depression. A young man from Bluefield came to Majestic with his family for the same reason. Vella and Oren met and grew up together in the little eastern Kentucky coal town. After graduation from Phelps High School and with the onset of World War II, Vella went to work in Columbus, Ohio, and Oren went off to war in Europe. With the end of the war, both came home to resume their interrupted romance. Married on January 31, 1947, in Pikeville, Ky., they soon moved to North Matewan, where they made their home and raised their boys. Vella was a wonderful homemaker and a frugal wife, always seeming to come up with the funds for Oren's favorite time of year, miner's vacation. A 1965 trip to New York City to visit the World's Fair was one of their many adventures. The sudden death of Oren in 1974 changed her world, but Vella's strong faith and her love for her family sustained her. Vella was a devout member of the Matewan Missionary Baptist Church, where she was baptized in 1951. She touched countless lives as a teacher and leader in the church and through her other community activities such as Woman's Club, PTA and scouting. Vella was a resident of Broadmore Senior Living in Hurricane since 2010, where she loved and was loved by the staff and the many friends she made there. Funeral services were held Tuesday, August 21, at Matewan Missionary Baptist Church with the Rev. Don Matney presiding with assistance from Pastor Carl

REBECCA ANN ROMERO "BECKY" Rebecca Ann Romero, "Becky," was called to be with the Lord on the morning of August 18, 2012. She was in St. Mary's intensive care unit, where her family comforted her with scripture and prayers. Her favorite music filled the air as she left us to be with God. Becky's life was a reflection of her caring love for God, the innocent, the poor and unfortunate.

Becky Romero, daughter of Gaylord and Lucille Allen, was born July 11, 1946, in Parkersburg. Becky was a spirit-filled Christian, serving her community and the world in many ways throughout her life. Rebecca attended high school at Woodrow Wilson in Beckley and graduated summa cum laude from Morris Harvey College School of Nursing in Charleston. Becky became a missionary, with sponsorship from the Catholic Medical Mission Board, and founded the first regional medical facility in El Progreso, Guatemala. Returning home to West Virginia, Becky worked as an RN at St. Francis Hospital (where she met her husband) and CAMC Memorial. Becky married widower Dr. Erdulfo Romero Sr. in the winter of 1974 and adopted his six children. She was blessed with two boys of her own, raising eight kids with her Christian and mission values. Becky was a true spokeswoman for children, the born and unborn. She was the head lobbyist speaking on behalf of the Pro Life movement. Becky co-founded the West Virginia Right to Life organization and became the vice president. Additionally, Becky attended the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., for many years and gave many speaking engagements advocating life. Becky was an active parishioner and Eucharistic minister at Ascension Catholic Church (too modest to sing in the choir; she had an angelic voice). She was a proud member of the West Virginia Republican Women. Becky worked hospice care, comforting the dying. She had a big heart, always donating food and clothing to the less fortunate. Into her home she welcomed those in need. Becky enriched many lives with random acts of kindness. Rebecca lost her life to a longterm illness. Becky is survived by her loving husband, Dr. Erdulfo Romero Sr., and her children, Mrs. Joy Tillman, Dr. Tony Romero, Mrs. Marie Wise, Arnel Romero, Albert Romero, Mrs. Michelle Flood, Daniel Romero and David Romero; eight grandchildren; and her siblings, Mary Allen, Cathy Martin, Amy Ricketts and Bob Allen.
