Skills, Friends and Fun for Life By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
WINFIELD - Putnam County and 4-H go together like Winfield and the courthouse. It's a perfect recipe. Before its development, the county was rooted in farming and agriculture. Parts of it still are. The traditional work ethics learned in farming still reign throughout the area's 4-H programs. More than farming - it's life skills, explained Beth Baldwin, the 4-H and Youth Development agent for Putnam County. "We're focused on positive youth development," she said. "It's not about the number we have - it's about the quality they receive - I just want to make sure they're successful and active citizens." Baldwin has been involved

Winfield is Back-to-School: Drive Cautiously By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
WINFIELD - It’s back to school for area students and with this, safety is the top priority for students, drivers and police officers. In early fall, the typically calmW. Va. 817 transforms into a busy route for school busses, students and teachers. Add another factor into the equation: school construction. More traffic means more caution, said Winfield Police Chief John Perrine. “The traffic bottleneck experienced by motorists, driving during high volume traffic, peaks at the beginning and end of the school day, and is one aspect of a larger

ties,” said Perrine. “The first couple days are historically more problematic than the rest.” During recent weeks, Mayor Randy Barrett, council members and the police department have worked with Putnam Board of Education members to help ensure back-to-school traffic runs smoothly and safely. "The most obvious cause of traffic congestion around schools is vehicles, and the biggest source of those vehicles is parents dropping off and picking up their children from school - I would like to encourage parents that have the availability of home-to-school bus transportation to take advantage of that program,” said Barrett. “If SCHOOL ON PAGE 4

Putnam 4-H finishes off Summer with a Bang As summer comes to its final month, Putnam 4-H has completed two of its biggest programs out of the 4-H year: Putnam County 4-H Camp and the Putnam County Fair. The Putnam 4-H Camp, held from June 23-27 at Camp Virgil Tate in Charleston, West Virginia hosted 145 of the finest campers from the Putnam and surrounding communities. Campers dove into the activity-filled camp with tribal meetings, field meet, and various service oriented activities. To start off the holiday themed camp, each camper made a new camp resolution as to how they were going to make it the best camping experience, they participated in a canned food drive and construction contest, out of which over 700 food items were donated to the Christian Community Cupboard in Hurricane, West Virginia, and celebrated “All American Monday” by writing thank you notes to ac-
tive duty soldiers. To add onto that, the $435 generated from the camp’s “snack shack” was also donated to the Way of the Cross food pantry of Elkview. Camp was not only received funding from the Putnam County Commission and the Putnam County Board of Education, but also with a generous grant generated from Walmart. With these major contributors, camp fully funded. Also, because of the sponsorships from 4-H alumni numerous youth were able to come to camp with the available assistance. The final council circle ended with smiles, hugs, and tears as the numerous scholarships and honors were awarded and the final good-byes said, the cars slowly made their way out of gates of Camp Virgil Tate with the anticipation of the campers thinking of what next year’s camp would bring. 2013 Putnam County Fair Re-
sults The Putnam County Fair sailed through week with similar smoothness as the 4-H camp. 28 4-H exhibitors will proudly show off their exhibits from their 4-H exhibits at the West Virginia State Fair in Lewisburg, West Virginia. The livestock auction summed up the week with some record breaking prices and the most generated $303,289.11. All but the 3% from the goes back to the youth who worked hard to present a great overall meat product; this also excludes the participants of the Special Lamb Program as the sale profits are split three ways to help pay for next year’s sheep and needed supplies. On behalf of the Putnam 4-H and FFA programs, we thank the following 76 businesses and individuals who came and purchased an animal and supported the youth of Putnam County 4-H and FFA at the Putnam County Fair livestock sale:

“APPRECIATION OF LIFE” Thought for the week: Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. Hebrews 12: 28 (KJV) We take life for granted, getting up each morning, doing our daily routine, often, not stopping to thank God for our heart that beats, and eyes to see. Then, you realize how precious it is when you lose someone. My sister passed last week, and she left such a tribute to her Christian life, it was noted she was a Christian and proud of it since the age 14. She attended church for 72 years faithfully singing in the choir. She was a happy person because her trust was in God. Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read. Although Alzheimer's disease robbed her life of a few years, she continued on. Chances are you know someone with this disease. It is pre-
dicted that by 2050, 1 in 85 people will have this no-cure disease. In 2006 - 26 million people suffered worldwide. The risk factor is after age 65, this doubles every 5 years after. The cells in the brain become tangled with plaque causing the thinking process to not function normal. Research shows risk increases if one or more family member had it also. Psalm 37:4 - Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Our daily lives become what we want them to be, which in turn makes us happy or sad. With a prayer and trust, we can be in God's grace. I was reading recently my ancestral history, how the names had been repeatedly handed down thru the generations, and I wondered –surely, our personalities are generated also, maybe you are a scoundrel like your g, g, g, great uncle John, or maybe you acquired the genes of quiet, gentle hearted Aunt Lucy, who lived her life two hun-
The Putnam Standard dred years ago. We are today, in God's sight, one individual, living our life span, in this time frame... Enjoy life - make the most of each day and always praise the Creator who gave you life. You only pass thru ONCE! “Sir; my concern is not whether God is on our side, my greatest concern is to be on Gods side, for God is always right” Abraham Lincoln Some quotes on life; "VISION" by Bob Stoss - Walk daily with God and capture His vision for your life, this will allow you to grow and give perspective to your living. "SOMETIMES" by Joel Bowa Sometimes, we ignore the fact that whatever we sow is what we reap in life. "TIME" by Michael Altisoler The bad news is time flies, the good news is you’re the pilot, go cruise forward into prosperity by valuing your time. You are known by who you are, were or will be - what legacy will you leave behind? “The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be FELT with heart.” Helen Keller - quote. Prayer: Today may be my last day God, help me live it pleasing to you. Amen.

Tomorrow While I was busy squandering today, tomorrow went flying by. With his old ally father time, who lent him wings to fly. I did not recognize tomorrow; he looked just like yesterday. I know that was impossible, I had just wasted him away. If I could reach back into the past, into my sack of sorrows
I would replace all those yesterdays with shiny new tomorrows. God gave us no promise of tomorrow, no matter how important our endeavor Today is that tomorrow we keep waiting for forever. Submitted by J.P. Boardman

Christian interviewing Power Manager Mike Ryan in his office. Courtesy photo After a recent 5 – 4 win against the Hickory Crawdads at Appalachian Power Park, Power Manager Mike Ryan talked to me about his team’s push to the playoffs, “I feel good about our chances, the guys are playing well, they are excited about playing in the race right now, they are taking pride playing the game the right way and they’re having fun doing it.” Ryan told me that the team’s
pitching recently has been outstanding, which has been the key to the playoff push, “The pitching has been outstanding, all of the starters have been doing great. It’s like a competition for them, if one guy pitches well the next guy in line wants to do the same. The number one reason we are in the playoff hunt is our pitching.” One of the leaders for the Power this season has been shortstop Max Moroff. I asked Moroff after the Crawdads game, how much fun has it been playing for the Power this season, “It’s my first full season of professional baseball and it has been a lot of fun, just being with the guys on and off the field.” Ryan spoke to me about this 20-year-old standout, “He has been playing good all season he works hard on his game, comes to the park early to get some extra practice time and it’s starting to show in his play. He’s been a steady bat for us at the top of the order and has played a steady shortstop in the field, so he has done a really good job.” Moroff (through August 22) is batting .237 with 71 runs scored out of the leadoff spot, second to Josh Bell’s team-leading 73 runs scored. Moroff has enjoyed playing for his skipper (manager) this season, “He’s been awesome, he knows what he is talking about, he knows how to teach every aspect of the game hitting, fielding,

I asked him what his favorite memory from the experience was, “Playing ping pong against the other kids from all the other countries, other than the baseball games, that was the best part.” To follow the West Virginia Power and the team’s push to the SAL playoffs you can listen to the games on ESPN1490 AM and 104.5 FM or online at www.wvpower.com. See you at the ballpark, hopefully at a Power playoff game.

100th Birthday Celebration of Lewis D’Antoni Golf Tournament at Twin Falls State Park August 31, 2013 MULLENS, WV - Long-time high school basketball coach and Twin Falls State Park golfer Lewis D'Antoni becomes a centenarian this New Year’s Eve. Weather conditions in December generally are not conducive to golf play, so a Labor Day weekend 100th birthday celebration golf tournament is planned at Twin Falls State Park on Saturday, Aug. 31. The twoperson scramble format is open to the public. “It’s an honor to organize this event for Mr. D’Antoni,” said
Brian Wetzel, golf professional at Twin Falls. “He’s been a pass holder at the park for many years, he made a hole in one on #4 when he was 91 years old, and he brings gentleman’s competition to the game of golf. His life story is as remarkable as his coaching career.” Lewis J. D’Antoni was born in 1913 in McComas in McDowell County. He was a standout athlete at Mullens High School in Wyoming County. He attended Concord College, where he was a
four-year letterman, team captain, and all-conference player in football and basketball. Lewis also lettered in tennis. After college, he began his career in education. He then served in the U.S. Navy during World War II before resuming his career in education. He went on to become one of West Virginia’s great high school coaches. He later coached at Chesapeake High School in Ohio. His combined experience led to more than 450 victories and one state champi-
onship while at Mullens. He served 11 years as principal at Mullens High School and 12 years as assistant principal at Chesapeake High School. D’Antoni, with his late wife Betty Jo, is the father of Kathy, Mike, Dan, and Mark. Mike D’Antoni, head coach of the LA Lakers, is scheduled to play in the Aug. 21 tournament. The D’Antoni 100th Birthday tournament cost is $30 per person and includes a shared cart. It is a shotgun start beginning at
9:30 a.m. Reservations for the tournament are required in advance. Call 304-294-4044 to sign up. Twin Falls State Park is located in Wyoming County. It is a 4,000 acre travel and golf destination and features a 47-room lodge, 14vacation cabins, 50-site campground, hiking and biking trails, restaurant, and an 18-hole championship golf course.

Canada Goose Season Opens September 2 in W.Va. SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV West Virginia’s 2013–2014 waterfowl seasons will begin statewide on September 2, 2013, with the opening of the early Canada goose season, according to Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Division of Natural Resources’ Wildlife Resources Section. The early season will end on September 14. The season will also be open Oct. 1 – 26, Nov. 11 – 16, and Dec. 16 – Jan. 31. Shooting hours are one-half hour before sunrise until sunset. All other general waterfowl hunt-
ing regulations apply to the September season. Hunters must possess a federal waterfowl stamp and a free Migratory Bird Harvest Information Program (HIP) registration card in addition to their regular hunting license. HIP cards are free and available from DNR offices and all hunting license agents. “Canada geese are found throughout West Virginia, but the largest concentrations are in the major river valleys where agriculture and suburban landscapes provide an abundance of open
land,” Taylor said. “A recentlyharvested crop field near water would be an ideal and obvious place to hunt. However, hunters should not overlook those out-ofthe-way spots such as an isolated pasture or strip bench with a small pond.” Hunters should also seek out hunting opportunities near towns, golf courses and similar areas that may wish to have local goose populations reduced. Regular scouting, not only before the season but also during the season, is important because geese
are very mobile and will move to isolated areas to avoid hunting pressure. Because most goose hunting is found on private lands, it is important for hunters to maintain a good relationship with landowners. Some wildlife management areas also offer goose hunting, and hunters should contact the appropriate DNR District Office with questions about specific areas. Waterfowl hunters are reminded of two important toll free numbers. Federal waterfowl
stamps may be purchased with a credit card by calling 1-800-7826724. Also, hunters who harvest a banded bird may call 1-800327-2263 to report the bird and find out when and where it was banded. Banded birds may also be reported online at www.reportband.gov. West Virginia’s 2013-2014 Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations brochure will be available at license agents, game check stations and DNR offices in late August, and are available online now at www.wvdnr.gov.
September Openings of the West Virginia Youth Squirrel Season and Statewide Squirrel Season SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV The 2013 West Virginia hunting seasons begin soon, and the popular squirrel hunting season begins in less than a month. The statewide squirrel season will open on Saturday, September 14, 2013, following the one-day youth squirrel season on September 7, 2013. “Don’t miss out on the first opportunity to hit the woods this fall
and pursue the state’s favorite small game species,” said Curtis l. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources. “September’s mild weather conditions and longer days provide great opportunities to introduce youth to the sport.” The September 7 youth-only day provides hunters with an excellent opportunity to assist
youngsters in developing basic hunting skills and ethics. Hunters should expect to see slightly higher squirrel numbers this year as compared to last year, based on the spotty but above-average hard mast crop that occurred in 2012. Last year’s mast crop should have served to increase this year’s squirrel survival and productivity. Squirrel hunters are reminded
that success comes with proper scouting and by locating those areas with abundant mast conditions. The daily bag limit remains at six and the possession limit at 24 squirrels. Youth hunters under the age of 15 must be accompanied by a licensed adult. During the youth squirrel season, the accompanying adult cannot carry a gun or a bow and must remain near
enough to the youth to render advice and assistance. In addition, youth hunters age 15 to 17 must comply with all licensing requirements. All other licensing requirements will remain in effect, and hunters should check the 20132014 West Virginia Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary for additional information.
Applications Accepted for McClintic WMA Duck Blinds September 6 Deadline to Apply POINT PLEASANT, WV – Waterfowl hunters who wish to hunt from a shooting station in the controlled waterfowl hunting zone of McClintic Wildlife Management Area (WMA), located near Point Pleasant, must submit their applications by September 6, 2013, according to David T. McClung, Wildlife Manager for the Division of Natural Resources
Wildlife Resources Section. Hunting is by permit only on a portion of McClintic WMA during the October split of waterfowl season. Hunters are assigned an area free of charge and are allowed to bring one guest. A shooting station is also available for the physically challenged waterfowl hunter. Applicants are selected randomly by drawing and

The controlled waterfowl hunt is October 1 through October 12, 2013. Applicants not selected may come to the McClintic WMA office on the morning of each day’s hunt to apply for a shooting station not filled by selected hunters. These vacancies are filled on a first come basis. Those individuals not selected for an area may hunt waterfowl on Mc-
Clintic WMA outside the controlled hunting zone. Consult the 2013-2014 West Virginia Migratory Bird Hunting Regulations for more complete information. Migratory bird regulations will be available at DNR offices by the end of August and are on the DNR’s website.

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens ARE WE DOING BETTER? Another year is more than half gone. While we look back at the last seven months of this year, how are you doing on your new year's resolutions? As I said in other articles I do not make resolutions, I just try to do better. Are you doing better? Are you being kinder, more loving, more giving, slower to be angry, more understanding with people? Are we more forgiving? Well, the list could go on and on but the one most of all is being a better servant for the Lord. While we all fall short we must try to do better at telling others of the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We do not know what may befall us tomorrow - if we even have a tomorrow. God holds our time in His hand and when He is finished with us we will be with Him if He is our Father and we are his children. A wise man once said that God doesn't have grandchildren and that is so true. We are God’s children or we are not. There is no middle of the road. I saw a bumper sticker which said, get right or get left. Is it too hard to serve the Lord after what He has done for you? Is it really that hard to read your Bible, pray, go to church and tell others of His love and salvation? If it is that hard, just look back to Calvary. Shame on us for complaining and griping day by day. Oh, be thankful for all He has blessed us with and for all He is doing and has done. He is a great Father and I am glad I am His child. I hope you are reading His word every day; if you are not, just start. I spoke with a lady the other day and her great grandson is eight years old and wants to do great things for the Lord. His parents think he is too young, but I told her to tell them to let him go! Whatever is in his little heart to do for Jesus let him do it. We should never be a stumbling block to anyone young or old who wants to serve Jesus. A little six-year-old girl told me when she grows up she is going to sing songs about Jesus and that she already wrote a song. I told her she didn't have to wait until she grew up to sing and write and then she sang her song for me. She thought she had to be grown up to sing and write for Jesus and I told her to write down her songs in a book and sing them wherever she wanted. Most of us adults are grown up ourselves and we should never tell a child they must wait to serve the Lord. Just try to do better and I know the Lord will help you. He certainly helps me each and every day.

Marshall student participates in fellowship at Masonic Medical Research Laboratory HUNTINGTON, WV - Marshall University student Lyndsey Brown, a senior majoring in forensic chemistry, completed her second summer in a fellowship at the Masonic Medical Research Laboratory (MMRL), an internationally recognized cardiac research institute in Utica, N.Y., this year. “Participating in the summer fellowship program at the MMRL has been an incredible experience that I will never forget,” Brown said. “It was amazing to have the opportunity to be involved with some of the groundbreaking research being conducted there. The knowledge I gained will not only be beneficial as I complete my studies at Marshall but as I go on to graduate school and my career.” Brown said she worked in the Molecular Genetics department both years with Yuesheng Wu as her mentor. Her task was screening patients with Brugada Syndrome (a cardiac arrhythmia) to identify any variations in the genes that she was assigned. The process begins with a patient’s blood being sent to the lab (after informed consent is obtained by his or her doctor) where
Marshall University student Lyndsey Brown participated in a summer fellowship at the Masonic Medical Research Laboratory in Utica, N.Y. the DNA is then extracted. Brown’s work involved amplifying the DNA, performing a series of reactions to prepare the sample for sequencing, sequencing the DNA in a machine that uses a laser to activate a fluorescent tag added to the DNA sample and analyzing the sequences to look for variations. “When we discover a variation, we look it up on different data-
bases, such as the 1000 Genomes Project, to determine the frequency of the variation,” Brown said. “I found three mutations this summer in the gene I worked with. Performing expression studies and functional studies with these mutations may provide insight into the gene’s potential link(s) to cardiac tissue as well as Brugada Syndrome.”

HURRICANE - On Monday Sept. 2, dogs will have their day. From 6:15 to 8 p.m., furry friends will enjoy an evening at the wave pool. The annual event is one Putnam County Animal Shelter Volunteer Karen Haynes is proud to offer residents and their pets. Her love for cats and dogs is undeniable. “They’re always there no matter how your day is - both good and bad,” Haynes said. “Their feelings don’t change, but people’s feelings can change.” For more than five years, the pool has given back and shown dogs the love they give. The event is free, but donations are accepted. Money raised in previous years has helped fund the new animal shelter. This year’s donations will go toward the up-
keep of the dog park. Cleaning supplies and dog and cat food are welcome to be donated toward the shelter as well. Haynes loves dogs and cats but wishes to share a message with county residents. “We need to get the word out about low-cost spaying and neutering,” she said. “If not, we will have too many dogs and cats and not enough attention to them.” Haynes is excited about officially opening the new Putnam County Animal Shelter. A ribbon cutting is slated toward the end of September. Although she does not currently have any pets, she has mothered many during the past few years. Soon, she will get to visit those staying at the new shelter. “We’ll be able to go any time and love the animals,” Haynes said. For more information and to donate to this event, call (304) 562-0518.
Fun and friends - Members of the area 4-H programs enjoy outdoor activities. Courtesy Photo area's 4-H programs offer children lessons they may not receive in the classroom. These lessons are basic, but vital, said Baldwin. "Every child needs to learn how to sew a button, bake a cookie and bait a hook," she said. "This is the perfect time for them to learn about self discovery." The program is much more than buying, raising and selling livestock, Baldwin said. It's about learning skills that will help carry children into adult-
hood. The 4-H in Putnam County is alive with activities. Some include community service, craft bazaars, livestock shows and camping. It is free to join the program and most activities within it are free. "It's about the experience, and we try to provide this for free," said Baldwin. The WVU Extension Service, Putnam County, the county's Board of Education, 4-H alumni,
area businesses, individuals and the Putnam County 4-H Leaders' Association help make this possible. When asked what her favorite aspect of 4-H is, Baldwin replied, "The kids are amazing." For more information, to help support the program or to join, call (304) 586-0217 or visit http://putnam.ext.wvu.edu. Ages from nine to 21 are eligible. Special programs for children younger than nine are also available.

Training and Preparation for “Last Days” By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
CULLODEN - In this quiet town of 3,000, something new is unfolding. Atop a hill on Joy Lane, a white cross overlooks U.S. 60, Hurricane and Culloden. Inside a building, zealous men and women of all ages are working, praying and pursuing a vision. It’s preparation. A longtime preacher walks into a sanctuary with an undeniable urgency in his heart. Kneeling at an altar, he cries out for help, guidance and direction. Others with cleaning supplies in their hands and fervency in their hearts join him as one loud voice declaring a promise from God. It’s a last-day, Heavenly move they seek. “What I see here is the last days - it’s about the Middle East and what’s happening in Israel, and it’s my prayer that America will stand with Israel,” Wright Way Ministry President James Wright said. “…The coming of the Lord is sooner than we know.”
The veteran pastor acquired the building from Randolph Street Baptist, the former church that used to operate there. Now, he plans to use it as a school, a church and a preparation headquarters for a new ministry like no other. “We are training men and women to fulfill their callings and to win souls to Jesus - we’ll bring them in, train them up and send them out - from the seats to the streets,” Wright said. “In 1998, while pastoring at Maranatha Fellowship Church, the Lord laid on my wife and I to start a ministry that helps small churches and mentors preachers.” The minister continued, “We’re not in competition with any other church - we’re here to help.” Virginia Wright has stood by her husband for more than 45 years. Looking toward this new vision, she stands with confidence. “When you’re in agreement and in unity, God does His work with you and through you,” she said. “We’re anticipating great things that God is going to do and we have a place where part
of that can transpire.” Near Wright, a young man cleaned off tables and organized cassettes of evangelical sermons, left behind from the church that previously used the building. Evan Vance is excited to have another opportunity to fulfill his calling. “At the age of four or five, I was called, and I remember feeling like it was something that I was supposed to do,” the evangelist said. “This is a new opportunity that God has given us, and He knew about it before we were even formed in our mothers’ wombs.” Vance continued with convic-
tion, “He chose us for a time as this.” As the day progressed, so did the number of volunteers. By noon, more than 25 worked on various maintenance and cleaning projects in and around the building. They did it joyfully. Smiles covered their sweatsoaked faces. Wright positioned chairs and furniture Monday afternoon. He looked toward a pulpit at the front of the sanctuary and declared a promise from Psalms
107 over the new building and ministry. “And He led them forth by the right way that they might go to a city of habitation,” Wright proclaimed. A grand opening of Wright Way Ministry’s Revival Center is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday Sept. 20. All are welcome. Services and training will take place Tuesdays and Fridays.
