Putnam County School’s central office is busy working on next year’s calendar to ensure students get the required 180 instructional days. Superintendent Chuck Hatfield said he would bring the 2014-15 calendar before the board at the March 3 meeting. “We have to have two public hearings,” he said. “We’ll get the notice out and have them on March 3 and March 17 before the school board meeting.” This year Putnam County students will fall six days short of the required 180 instructional days. To date students have missed a total of 16 days of school due to wintry weather and water contamination issues. “We will make up 10 of the 16 days,” said Dr. Cindy Daniel, assistant superintendent for instruction. “There is nothing more we can do this year.” Additional make-up days are scheduled for April 21, June 2-6 and June 9-11. By law the county can’t extend the school year past June 12. Daniel said that because the schools keep students in school longer every day, they really aren’t missing those six days if the educational minutes are totaled. “But we can’t count banked days,” she explained. The 2014-15 school calendar will be more difficult as the staff and board must find a way to ensure that 180 full school days are SEE CALENDAR ON PAGE 2

Randolphs mix love, work and family By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com
Roger and Grace Randolph’s journey together has been anything but conventional. The two have been married for 48 years and working together for 38 years. They said their love for each other, family, employees and the Putnam County community is what keeps them going and dedicated. “We’ve both been blessed in life,” Roger said. “We love what we do and love the people we work with. We have no complaints. We owe our success to the good people we have working for us.We are just a small part of the company.” The couple met at a church square dance in 1962 in Lowell, Ohio. “I was with another guy at the dance,” Grace said, smiling. “My date went outside to have a beer and Roger slipped in. He’s a sly fox.” The two dated for four years before marrying in 1966. “I lost a $100 bet that we would wait until after graduation to get married,” Roger said.
Roger and Grace Randolph have been married for 48 years and working together for 38 years at Randolph Engineering. After Roger graduated from Ohio University in 1967 with a degree in civil engineering, the couple moved to West Virginia so he could start his new job at Union Carbide in South Charleston. A couple years later Roger took a job with R&R Engineering before ven-
turing out on his own in 1976. “We started Randolph Engineering in the basement of our house,” he said. The company later moved to an old farmhouse located at 4414 Teays Valley Road. They also run Teays Valley Storage located next
door out of the same office. Although the couple spends 24 hours a day, seven days a week together, work stays behind when they shut the door at their Scott Depot office. SEE RANDOLPH ON PAGE 5
State Legislature honors late firefighter’s organ donation Shane Jividen spent his life helping others as a volunteer firefighter. Even after his death, Jividen made life-changing contributions to six more people. Jividen, chief of the Eleanor Volunteer Fire Department, died Sept. 1 after an ATV wreck during a fund-raiser for the Webster County Fire Department. He was flown to Charleston Area Medical Center, where his donated organs continued his giving legacy even after his death. Senate Resolution 19, geared toward encouraging organ donation by others, cites Jividen by name. “Whereas, West Virginians like the late Shane Jividen, former
Eleanor Volunteer Fire Chief, gave new health to six suffering individuals through selfless donation of his liver, kidneys, cornea and heart,” the resolution states. “Whereas, West Virginia recipients and communities are awed and humbled by the generosity of donor families, such as the Jividen family, whose gift in the face of terrible tragedy inspires others to renewed hope and optimism.” It also honors Jay Wessels, a young man who recently received a heart transplant, to show both sides of the donor equation.

tion of the land surrounding Confidence Elementary. The school sits on 250 acres. “Last year we cut the hay and bush hogged the fields at no charge to you, which is fine,” Rust said. “But somewhere down the line it needs to be maintained better than what we are able to do with year-to-year access. “If not maintained properly the value is going to drop drastically. It is going to grow up.” He said that during hunting season he caught three hunters accessing the land, which is against school rules. There is also a need for fencing to be replaced around the school’s land due to cattle from surrounding farms.
“If we were able to purchase or lease the property on a long-term lease then we could do something along those lines,” Rust said. “It would be worth it to invest money into it.” School Board President William Legg said the board would check into it and see what can be done. “We’ll get back in touch with you,” he said. “I know there are rules, regulations and laws on certain things we can and certain things we cannot do. So we’ll have to get into that and see what we can and cannot do.” The next Putnam County Board of Education meeting is 7 p.m. March 3. All meetings are open to the public.

Poca defense shuts down Chapmanville in victory
Thursday,February 20,2014 – Page 3
Winfield loses close game against South Charleston
By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com
The old adage is that defense wins championships. Whether that holds true for Poca remains to be seen, but some shutdown certainly has helped the Dots win games as the postseason approaches. Poca turned what was expected to be a tight matchup of top 10 teams into a blowout, beating Chapmanville 68-35 on Feb. 11. The Dots (16-1) kept that momentum going Friday night, holding Sissonville (9-9) to just 26 points through the first three quarters in a 78-43 victory. Against Chapmanville (12-5), the Dots held the Tigers to just four points in the first quarter as they opened up a 15-4 lead. A pair of eight-point quarters followed, and Poca opened a 48-20 lead through three quarters before both teams cleared the benches in the latter part of the fourth quarter. Poca is ranked third in Class AA in the MetroNews Power Index, while Chapmanville is seventh. “Our defense was really, really good tonight,” Coach Allen Osborne said. “We played hard, rebounded the ball well. I’m happy with the way we played. We guarded the ball well and did a good job in the post.” Junior Noah Frampton played one of his best games of a good season, scoring 22 points and adding six assists and four steals. That might not have been his most impressive accomplishment, though. “Noah, he shut down (Joshua) Butcher,” Elijah Cuffee said of the Tigers’ leading scorer, who had just five points against Poca. “We had really good help defense and didn’t allow second chances.” Frampton said he was “really nervous before the game, because they’re a great team.” He and his brother Luke, a freshman, alternate wearing their late father Bryan’s No. 34 jersey.

Junior Matt Chandler drives to the basket for two of his 11 points. Poca beat Chapmanville 78-43. Luke wore it for the home game against Chapmanville, but the lessons Bryan Frampton instilled in his sons were clearly visible in Noah’s game. “I played for my Dad,” he said. “He targeted fundamental things at a young age. Get your fundamentals down and as you get older you can step back. He taught us to always play good defense.” That effort was matched by another balanced offensive attack, with three players joining Frampton in double figures: Cuffee and Luke Frampton had 13 each, while Matthew Chandler had nine of his 11 in the second half. Less visible on the scoresheet but plenty noticeable on the floor were a pair of 6-foot-3 players off the bench, Jacob Payne and Christian Buckley. Payne, a senior, is just coming back from a broken foot and gives the Dots another option to go big when necessary. “They can come in and give us good size, good strength,” Osborne said of the pair. Payne said he’s still easing back into things but looks forward to
being a factor down the stretch. “You can’t have enough height,” Payne said. “We don’t have 6-5, 6-6 guys, but we match up pretty well. Me and Christian can get in there and bang a little bit.” Cuffee and Frampton also cited the time the team spent in the weight room in the offseason. “Noah beefed up pretty good,” Payne said. “We worked our butts off.” The fact that Chapmanville or Scott could await in a regional final game wasn’t lost on the team, either. “We had to put them away, leave no doubt,” Payne said. “We wanted to play our kind of ball and send a message to them.” With postseason play just two weeks away, though, no one is ready to rest on the team’s success so far. “You can always get better offensively and defensively,” Noah Frampton said. Osborne noted, “We’ve got a lot to work on. We can get out and run better, and make the extra pass all the time. Every game is a new challenge.”

The Winfield Generals continue to battle nose-to-nose with some of West Virginia’s best teams. While Winfield’s record is 108, the list of losses looks like a state tournament prediction sheet, and some of the victories have come over top-ranked teams as well. The Generals’ most recent near miss came Friday night against No. 2 South Charleston, with Winfield trailing by just three points with 43 seconds left in the game before falling 76-69. Bear Bellomy had 17 of his 21 points in the first half, including five of his six 3-pointers, while Zach Fisher flipped that with 17 of his 21 after intermission. Toby Show had 10 points for Winfield, as did Heath Diehl off the bench. South Charleston jumped out to an early 25-13 lead in the first quarter, but Winfield refused to go away easily. The Generals cut the margin
to nine at halftime, 43-34, then made it 57-53 after three quarters. The Black Eagles extended the lead to nine points with 6:08 left in the fourth quarter, but the General battled back again. Winfield closed with gap to 6862 with 2:10 left, then made it 70-67 with just 43 seconds left. A late 3-point attempt was off the mark, however, and South Charleston’s Brandon Knapper hit a shot in the lane then added two free throws to make it a seven-point lead that matched the final margin. Winfield’s record includes a pair of losses to 2013 state tournament team Hurricane, plus defeats at the hands of Woodrow Wilson, Huntington and George Washington, all candidates for this year’s tournament. The Generals beat Capital and Wheeling Park, both ranked in the top 20 of the MetroNews Power Index. – Reporting by Jack Withrow for The Putnam Standard

WestVirginia Legislative Update By Del. Jim Butler House District 14 Everyone at the Capitol got a big scare last week when long time Del. Brady Paxton had a health problem that seemed to prevent him from standing. According to delegates who sit near him he was also weak and seemed to have a fever. Recently though we were updated by a friend that although he is still in the hospital (at press time) he is doing much better. In the political arena we sometimes disagree, but I pray for Del. Paxton and his family, and I would ask that others do so as well. We had late committee meetings today and a lot has happened in the last few days. Today we had a vote on the House floor that would have allowed debate
on a bill that has not moved for years, HB 2364, titled the Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act. This bill would make it illegal to abort a baby after 20 weeks, unless the health of the mother is at risk. If successful the motion would have resulted in a vote for, or against, protecting these children who, evidence shows, do feel pain. The motion was defeated along party lines, Del. Cadle and I voted yes to protect them. Other bills that passed easily, and with my support, were HB 4196 that would require the Workforce Investment Council to provide information and guidance that would better educate people about better paying jobs. HB 4208 would ban hallucinogenic drugs, HB 4220 would re-
quire better disclosure to people who are asked to, in some cases, waive their right to a jury trial, and HB 4336 that limits the amount of time that the State School Board can retain control over a County School Board in the cases of a takeover. The limit would now be five years. These are just a few of many bills that passed the House. The water safety bill is still in the Health Committee. It will be some time before the full House votes on it. As a matter of immediate concern though I joined with other delegates to ask the Governor to provide for testing of the water in some homes where there is still specific reason for concern. In Education I have been working to strengthen parent’s
rights concerning student’s personal information. I have also introduced legislation to promote better education standards in our schools and to empower West Virginia teachers. In the transportation committee Del. Cadle and I are still focused on Route 35. We are still asking the Governor for help to complete this much needed road without tolls, which would place an unfair burden on Mason and Putnam County residents. We address many important issues here every day, but jobs remains on the top of my list. I am still supporting legislation to help encourage job growth for our families, and our children. Please pray for me, and for all of us, as we do our best to represent you.
By Del. Jeff Eldridge House District 22 The Legislature is speeding up now that we’ve passed the midway point. We are still feeling the effects of the water crisis caused by the chemical leak that happened last month and here at the Legislature it’s our first priority to assure the people of West Virginia that something like this will never happen again. The House held a public hearing last week to listen to the people’s concerns so we can better represent their needs. West Virginia citizens that spoke at the public hearing said that they want legislation with no loop-
holes or exclusions. They said that the cause of the chemical leak was due to non-enforcement of current laws and in order to make legislation effective, it needs to enforced. People who spoke said they felt failed. As your Legislature it is our responsibility to re-establish the trust of the people because our first priority has always been and always will be the people of West Virginia. Senate Bill 373, the bill spoke of at the public hearing, is now in the House Health and Human Resources Committee, a committee I am a member of. After passage, the bill will then be
moved to the House Judiciary Committee. The bill would regulate aboveground storage tanks that aren’t currently regulated by other rules and have the possibility of contaminate a water resource. The Health and Human Resources Committee heard testimonials from Jeff McIntyre, the President and Chief Executive Officer of West Virginia Water, Tom Curtis from American Water Works, Letitia Tierney the Commissioner of the Bureau of Public Health and State Health Officer, Ryan Palmer the Commissioner of West Virginia Public Service Commission, Amy Swann the
Executive Director of the West Virginia Rural Water Association. I understand how important this bill is to the protection of our people and our water and I will keep you updated on the bills status on the weeks ahead. I will continue to keep you updated on my role in the West Virginia House of Delegates. As always, I would like to encourage you to contact me with questions and concerns as your participation in the legislative process is important. You can contact me by e-mail at jeff.eldridge@wvhouse.gov. Also, you can contact me via phone, at (304) 340-3113.
By Sen. Mitch Carmichael Senate District 4 The prevalence and widespread use of illegal drug use is one of the most tragic, heartbreaking, and critical issues facing our state. Virtually every family in West Virginia has been negatively impacted by this horrible problem. Whether one is victimized as a result of criminal activity and theft that was perpetrated by someone seeking to feed their habit or as a result of a loved one that has become an addict, our entire state is suffer-
ing from this terrible problem. Collectively, we desperately seek a solution that will reduce or eliminate this problem. One of the most commonly abused and addictive illegal drug concoctions in West Virginia is typically referred to as “Meth.” This drug produces a devastating impact on the physical, mental, and emotional health of its users. A key ingredient in the production of Meth is pseudoephedrine. We are familiar with pseudoephedrine in products such as Claritin-D, Sudafed, and other medications used to treat allergy, etc. While there are some restrictions on the purchase of these products, they generally do not require a prescription or a visit to a doctor. Because these products are utilized to make Meth, most states, including West Virginia, place restrictions on the quantity that can be purchased. The prod-
ucts are located behind the counter of your drug-store and an ID is required to purchase. These restrictions have helped to reduce and prosecute drug offenders. This week, your State Senate will vote on a proposal to require a doctors’ prescription for the purchase of products containing pseudoephedrine. If adopted and signed into law, one will find it necessary to visit a doctor and obtain a prescription to acquire these products. In my view, it is unreasonable to place an onerous burden and increased cost upon law-abiding citizens to purchase these legal products for the stated cause of reducing the opportunity for drug addicts to abuse it. In addition, it should be noted that prescription drug abuse is an even bigger problem and more prevalent than meth. Therefore, requiring a prescrip-
tion for drugs such as Claritin-D would seem to do little to resolve the problem. Certainly, we can and should do more to identify and prevent illegal drug use. Responsible companies such as Rite-Aid and Fruth Pharmacy have already moved toward a tamper resistant brand of these products that is much less susceptible to Meth conversion. This is a difficult issue. We all want to reduce illegal drug use. However, these valuable consumer drug products are utilized in a responsible manner by thousands of West Virginia citizens. I fully support responsible restrictions. However, we must be careful to not overly burden the vast majority of law-abiding citizens for the flaws of a few distressed drug addicts. As always, I appreciate your thoughts and ideas on this and other bills.

Teays Physical Therapy Center’s Matt Smith, ATC, presents this week’s male Gamer of the Week to Trenton Spears from Calvary Baptist Academy
Teays Physical Therapy Center Inc. is pleased to present this week’s Gamers of the Week awards to Abby Watson of Hurricane High School and Trenton Spears from Calvary Baptist Academy. The Lady Redskins basketball team has already surpassed their wins mark from the previous season with a current record of 10-9 and the veteran play and leadership from junior Abby Watson has pushed this team into the spotlight for 2014. Watson averages about 24 points, 12 rebounds, four steals, four assists, and three blocks a game. She also passed the 1,000 career points make earlier in the season. “I have had a pretty good season. I feel like I can pass the ball off more with the talent we have on the team this year, which has allowed me to move more and get more opportunities to score,” Watson said. She added that the success this season has stemmed from the harder work and talent of her teammates. One such teammate, senior Taneisha Strudavent, who
The Calvary Baptist Patriots gleefully welcomed senior forward and center Trenton Spears into the 1,000 point club in a win last week against Cross Lanes Christian School. Head Coach David Spencer has been very pleased with his senior leader’s production, “Trent has developed into a very good basketball player for us over the past few years,” he said. “His versatility allows him to shoot from the perimeter and play on the inside as well. I believe he is one of the top players in our league and contributes so much to our team.” Spears had this to say about his career milestone, “It was a big accomplishment for my high school career and I was glad that a lot of my friends and family were there to experience that with me. First of all I want to thank my Lord and
contributes a double double with 11 points and 12 rebounds consistently. Coach Natasha Lowe has been very excited to see the transformation of this program over the past few years and is excited to see where it will continue to go. “We have made it a goal this year to end with a winning record and get pasted sectionals,” she said, adding that the leadership that Watson has brought to this team is one reason for its success. Watson is the daughter of George and Tracy Watson. Her mother, Tracy, has been a big motivator to her. Watson is a very active peer at Hurricane participating in varsity soccer and track and field. She is also a member of student council, 24/7, prom committee and helps with the special Olympics. She currently has a 3.9 GPA and is planning to study accounting when she attends college. Watson has received offers from several Division 1 schools but has not made any decisions. She would like to play basketball and throw for the track and field team.

helps them help me get stronger and grow more as a player.” The Patriots are 9-7 this season but have been playing well the second half of the season and are poised to make a run in the 2014 WVCAT. Spears is a model student-athlete and undoubtedly makes his parents, Tim and Jeanna Spears very proud. He is very involved in his church, plays on both the soccer and basketball teams, is member of the ski club and maintains a 3.8 GPA. He is already taking some classes at Marshall University and plans to enroll full time in the Fall semester.

Lady Redskins lose to Cabell Midland, 57-38
The Putnam Standard
Morrisey files complaint against Mid Valley Mart LLC
By Brian Harper For The Putnam Standard
If you could take away the first five minutes of the game, the outcome of the game between the Hurricane Lady Redskins and the Cabell Midland Lady Knights may very well have been different. The Lady Redskins could not get out of the blocks, and found themselves down 15-0 early in the first quarter and never recovered, losing 57-38. A quick timeout seemed to settle them down, as Hurricane began to shoot better and break through the Lady Knights’ pressure defense. “We got in a hole early,” Hurricane Coach Austin Lowe said after the Feb. 11 game. “We helped them by turning the ball over.” Trailing by 10 to start the second quarter, a 6-0 run by the Lady Redskins cut into the lead thanks to a more up-tempo style. The ability to break Cabell Midland’s press proved to be Hurricane’s best offense all night, as the girls were able to get open shots off of their transition. However, they could not capitalize on the momentum due to foul trouble and turnovers. “We got into foul trouble early,” Abby Watson said, “and then our shots didn’t fall.” Unfortunately for Hurricane, the Lady Knights were able to exploit a cold streak, forced some turnovers, and headed into the break on a 10-0 run to build on their lead. The second half was better for the Lady Redskins, as they started the third quarter with another 6-0 run. Throughout the quarter, Hurricane shot well and was even able to take advantage of some sloppy play from the Lady Knights.
Abby Watson led the Lady Redskins in scoring with 16 points against the Lady Knights. File Photo Hurricane pulled to within 12 points, but that was as close as it would get for the rest of the game. “I thought we played better in the second half,” Lowe said. In the end, the Lady Redskins could not overcome their slow start and Cabell Midland’s size advantage underneath. Hurricane was badly outrebounded and turned the ball over 27 times. That led to second chance baskets for the Lady Knights, who were able to ice the game away by keeping possession. “We just can’t turn the ball over,” concluded Watson, who led the Lady Redskins with 16 points. Audrey Barber added seven points for Hurricane. Emily Pitkin had 22 points for Cabell Midland, and Haley Haggerty added 13. Even with the loss, the Lady Redskins found something to build on going forward for the rest of the season. “We’ll be OK,” Lowe said. “We have a chance to make some noise later in the season.”

Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has filed a price gouging complaint against two Hurricane area convenience stories alleging they illegally raised prices on bottled water following a chemical leak that tainted water supplied by West Virginia American Water Co. Morrisey on Friday announced the complaint in Putnam County Circuit Court against Mid Valley Mart LLC, which operates stores at 3706 Teays Valley Road and 2494 U.S. 60 in Hurricane. He alleged the stores raised prices by more than 100 percent during a state of emergency, with gallon jugs going from $1.59 to $3.39 on Jan. 10 for at least one consumer. “Our office worked diligently in the hours and days after the chemical spill to educate both citizens and businesses about the state's price gouging laws. At that time, we pledged to aggressively pursue any entity that artificially inflated prices to take advantage of citizens in a time of need,” Morrisey said in a news release. “In this case, it doesn't appear that our warnings were heeded.” According to the complaint, the stores are owned by Achraf Assi. A man who answered the phone at the Teays Valley location Monday morning said he was “in-
nocent” but did not have time to discuss the situation further because it was his busiest time at the store. Tom Peyton, an attorney representing Assi, questioned Morrisey’s motives in an interview with West Virginia MetroNews. “The way that he has played this to the press, it appears to me, in my opinion, to be (him) using this as a political tool for some Peyton told the reason,” statewide radio network. “Mr. Assi now has the problem with the press being apprised of the fact that the attorney general, who has some clout or should, has accused of him of price gouging which could have a devastating effect upon his business. “Serious allegations have been made by the attorney general, so we need to put in the time, review the employees who work in Mr. Assi’s store, review their records, maybe some surveillance video and try and figure out what happened here.” On Jan. 9, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin declared a state of emergency in parts of all of nine West Virginia counties after a chemical leak resulted in at least 10,000 gallons of crude MCHM being released into the Elk River and contaminating the water supply. Under West Virginia law, it is ille-
gal for a business to increase the price of an emergency supply or essential consumer item by more than 10 percent during a declared state or emergency and for 30 days after, whichever is longer. Morrisey said that in this state of emergency, bottled water was deemed to be an essential consumer item because the West Virginia-American Water Co. issued a do-not-use order restricting consumers from using it for cooking, cleaning, bathing or even laundry. Following the state of emergency declaration, Morrisey said he assembled a price gouging team within the Consumer Protection Division, as well as a team to investigate the causes and truth about the water contamination crisis. The office also established a 24-hour tip hotline for consumers to call to report price gouging. “As we all continue to deal with the effects of this leak, I encourage consumers to report any price gouging they may be experiencing,” Morrisey said. “To date, our office has issued six investigative subpoenas and served ceased and desist letters to more than 15 entities. My office will continue to aggressively pursue and investigate instances of gouging as they arise.”
Couple arrested for child neglect Following a five-month investigation, a Putnam County couple has been arrested and charged with child neglect resulting in serious bodily injury, authorities said. According to a criminal complaint filed in Putnam County Magistrate Court by Lt. Ryan Lockhart of the Putnam County Sheriff’s Department, Wendell Edward Rose Jr. and Geneva Kay Rose, both of Culloden, were arrested Feb. 13. Lockhart’s complaint states that in September 2013 the sher-
iff’s department received a complaint that Justin Vance, 28, was having an inappropriate relationship with the Roses’ 13-year-old daughter. The two had met while participating in the Special Olympics, and Special Olympics officials had expressed concern about the relationship, according to the complaint. “My investigation revealed that after the concerns about the relationship between Justin Vance and their daughter were expressed to the Roses, they allowed Justin Vance to move into their
residence,” Lockhart wrote. “I interviewed Wendell and Geneva Rose who confirmed that they allowed Justin Vance to move into their residence in Putnam County in exchange for helping out with the bills and with the chores around the house.” Lockhart wrote that a medical examination on Jan. 29, 2014, revealed that the girl was pregnant and identified Vance as the father of her child. Magistrate Scot Lawrence set bond at $250,000, and the Roses were being held in the Western Regional Jail.

Christian's Sports Beat: Baseball Spring Training Begins
By: Christian Deiss
The Cincinnati Reds began spring training in Goodyear, AZ recently when pitchers and catchers reported. The Reds are coming off a 2013 season that saw them finish third place in the National League’s Central Division with a 90-72 record, behind the St. Louis Cardinals and Pittsburgh Pirates. One of the pitchers in camp is Homer Bailey, who recently was in Charleston as part of the Reds Caravan, an annual promotional event when fans get to meet some of the players. Before the
event started, I talked to Bailey about how the team can improve on their third place finish, “I think we need to do a better job of playing the game and not make as many mistakes at important times of the game. The strength of our team has been pitching, so the staff needs to continue on that path for us to move forward.” In 32 starts last season, Bailey was 11-12 with a career-best 3.49 ERA. He achieved career bests in innings (209) and strikeouts (199). Over the last four seasons, Bailey has shown improvement and has turned into a reliable starting pitcher for the Reds. Bailey explained what the key has been for his better performances, “I think the key has been my health. The years before, I had a lot of good games but had trouble staying on the field with shoulder issues and stuff. Once I started understanding how to keep myself healthy and getting more repetitions by getting the ball every five days, that helped me with the learning process.” The 27-year old righthander has a major league win-

Directions: In a medium bowl, mix together cookie crumbs, 3 tablespoons sugar, and melted butter. Press mixture into the bottom of a 9 inch springform pan. In a saucepan, combine raspberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, cornstarch, and water. Bring to boil, and continue boiling 5 minutes, or until sauce is thick. Strain sauce through a mesh strainer to remove seeds. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). In a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, melt white chocolate chips with half-and-half, stirring occasionally until smooth. In a large bowl, mix together cream cheese and 1/2 cup sugar until smooth. Beat in eggs one at a time. Blend in vanilla and melted white chocolate. Pour half of batter over crust. Spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over batter. Pour remaining cheesecake batter into pan, and again spoon 3 tablespoons raspberry sauce over the top. Swirl batter with the tip of a knife to create a marbled effect. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until filling is set. Cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 8 hours before removing from pan. Serve with remaining raspberry sauce. Original recipe makes 1 - 9 inch cheesecake
loss record of 49-45 with 705 strikeouts. Not many pitchers ever throw a no-hitter in their career. Bailey has already thrown two. His nono’s came against Pittsburgh in 2012 and San Francisco last year. I asked Bailey how exciting it was tossing two no-hitters, “It was a lot of fun during the games. It’s an accomplishment that not too many people get to say they have done, so it’s something I can always reflect on and remember the good times.” During the off season, the Reds replaced Dusty Baker as manager and moved pitching coach Bryan Price into the skipper’s position. Bailey gave me his thoughts about his pitching coach now being his manager, “I think Bryan has a great baseball mind. One thing he is really good at is recognizing a problem and solving it immediately. He’s really good at communicating and going about things the right way. He has put
the right people around him that will keep us a division contender.” The first exhibition game is slated for Feb. 26 against the Cleveland Indians. This will be Price’s rookie season as a major league manager. Price was at the Reds Caravan and talked about leading the ball club after serving as pitching coach since 2010, “It’s a series of different responsibilities, along with working with the pitchers every day I now have to watch the entire ball club and be involved with the position players as well and also have the responsibility of making the in-game decisions that I didn’t have to make before, but the most important thing is to unite a group of people for the common goal of winning a World Series.” I asked Price how much he will be relying on his young righthander, “He is going to be a key to the team’s success this year. We have a lot of experience on the
pitching staff, but all of our starters are young and Homer is one of those players, but I think he will be ready to go every five days for us.” Opening day for the Reds is March 31, taking on the St. Louis Cardinals at the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.

Hurricane loses big lead, falls to George Washington By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com
In the past week, Hurricane has proved it can play with the best teams in the state. Now the Redskins just need to seal the deal and get a signature victory. After leading No. 2 Huntington late before falling by two points, Hurricane held a 15-point lead over No. 7 George Washington Monday night midway through the third quarter. The Patriots (15-
Nandel’s

Rogoszewski, who came off the bench to score 26 points and grab nine rebounds. Rogoszewski’s driving layup gave Hurricane a 59-44 lead with about three minutes left, the largest lead for either team. It took a nearly perfect storm for the lead to evaporate. Shots that had fallen all night rimmed

out, a handful of turnovers helped open the door, free throw showing failed and every call that could go against Hurricane in the final 10 minutes did. Ultimately, however, the Redskins know that with the postseason just around the corner they have to do whatever it takes to finish strong. “We’ve struggled with that all year,” said senior Henry Sorsaia, who was honored before the game for scoring 1,000 points in his career. “We’re pushing really good teams. We’ve got to learn how to pull it out.” After having just four turnovers in the first half, the Redskins (146) committed 12 after intermission. At the same time, George Washington star Jon Elmore got hot, scoring 23 of his 35 points in the second half. GW also made 17-of-24 free throws, with 16 of the attempts coming after the half. Hurricane, meanwhile, made just 12-of-20 – with only eight attempts in the final 16 minutes – and missed the front end of a pair of one-and-ones late in the game. “We missed our foul shots,” Coach Lance Sutherland said. “They did make it to the foul line. We did some stupid things, but other things were taken out of our control.” Sutherland declined to be more specific, but a handful of calls in

Hurricane also was hurt by the absence of Garrett DeFries, who played just five minutes in the second half before fouling out with 3:06 left in the game. Despite the limited action, DeFries had the play of the night, firing up the crowd and his teammates with a two handed dunk in traffic with 5:50 left in the third quarter. “On the breakaway earlier I should have dunked,” he said. “Later on the game I knew if I had the chance I was going to.” The fouls were frustrating, though. “I’ve got to play more with my feet than my hands,” he said. “We can’t put our heads down. We played as hard as we could. If we put together four quarters, it’s going to be amazing what this team can do.”

Students make fast work of numbers By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com
Putnam County high school students entered the Math Field Day competition differentiated by schools but left as the sum of one. A total of 65 high school students participated in the annual event at Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia in Buffalo. The event challenged student’s mathematical skills as individuals and as a team. It also gave the students the opportunity to earn scholarships and learn more about Toyota. After opening remarks from Doug Shields, general manager of Toyota, the coordinator, Louise Goode, quickly got the three-hour competition underway. A total of five high schools – Buffalo, Hurricane, Poca, Teays Valley Christian and Winfield – competed in the competition with each sending 13 students. Upperclassman (grades 10-12) completed an individual exam followed by short answer questions and team events (questions and relays). Freshman completed an individual exam followed by short answer, mental math, estimation computation and relays. After all the scores were tallied 10 upperclassman students and three freshman rose about the rest. They will represent the county in the regional competition that will be held in Charleston. The 10 upperclassman students include: Gyuyong Kim of Buffalo, Katie Null of Hurricane, Cristah Artrip of Winfield, Ben Meffert of Hurricane, Dennis Chertkovsky of Winfield, Brady Williams of Hurricane, Cameron Cottrill of Poca, Zach Shurow of Hurricane, Jaren Tay of Winfield, and Shakthi Raman of Winfield. Alternates are: Elijah Schultz of Hurricane and Christian Buckley of Poca. Members of the freshmen team include: Erica Burns of Hurricane, Garrett Gress of Hurricane and Nathan Casto of Buffalo. The alternate is Chase Ross of Winfield. Goode, teacher of AP statistics at Hurricane, said the competition went well thanks to volunteers who monitored and helped score the exams. “The teachers who came out today helped make this day a success,” she said. “We also had about 30 sponsors who support the event every year. They give us prizes to hand out to the students and make it fun.” While volunteers scored the exams, Toyota employees talked with the students about the company’s work-study program with Bridgemont Community & Technical College. They also demonstrated how math skills are used

Toyota’s work-study program is in its second year with the first class graduating in May. The program allows students to earn up to $40,000 a year while completing college during a two-year period. “You spend two days in the classroom and three days getting hands-on experience here at Toyota,” said Tim Henry, assistant manager of the maintenance department. “At the end of two years you earn an specialized associate degree.” Garen Minamyer, maintenance group leader for Toyota, demonstrated 3-D modeling to the students and Toyota’s Vince Riffee and John McCoy of the fundamental skills department involved the students in a skill competition. Students who finished in the top two for their schools in Math Field Day also earned scholarships. Toyota presented first place with a $500 scholarship and second place finishers with $200.

Lady Bison defeat Teays Valley Christian By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com
Both the Lady Bison and Lady Lions entered the matchup with two things in mind: to work on specific issues and prepare for the postseason. “In practice we have been concentrating on boxing out and getting second chance opportunities,” Buffalo Coach Jamie Ball said. “We wanted to practice those things tonight.” Buffalo succeeded and won the Feb. 14 game against Teays Valley Christian, 63-54. “We wanted to get ready for the tournament and tonight’s game really helped,” Teays Valley’s Gabby Harkah said. “It was a tough game and we played hard.” Teays Valley Christian starts tournament play today at the three-day West Virginia Christian Athletic tournament in Summersville.
Buffalo will begin sectional play on Wednesday, Feb. 26, when the Lady Bison play Charleston Catholic. Ball said the team will “dig deep in practice” in order to prepare for sectional play. “Confidence is a key factor for this team,” he said. “We are a tough team to beat if our guards and forwards are shooting.” After having multiple games canceled due to wintry weather both teams entered the Feb. 14 matchup hungry to play. “We were getting tired of playing each other so it is really good to get in a game against someone else,” Ball said. Buffalo took control of the game early by scoring 10 points in the first 90 seconds of the game and not allowing Teays Valley Christian to score. “In practice we worked on boxing out and running the floor,” Buffalo’s Chelsey Parkins said. “We also wanted to work our of-

The Lady Lions tried to battle back in the second quarter but Buffalo’s smothering defense kept that from happening. “We tried to move around more and keep on our man,” Buffalo’s Noell Dingess said. Buffalo kept the starters in for
most of the third quarter, extending the led to 58-27. In the fourth quarter Ball brought in younger players off the bench to give them meaningful game time and experience. Teays Valley Christian Coach Tim Bailey was appreciative. He also liked what he saw from his team, which had just five players available.
“Jamie is a good guy team and a class act for doing that,” he said. “The girls played hard the entire game and never gave up.” Parkins was the leading scorer for Buffalo with 17 points, followed by Olivia Dunn with 14 points, Michaela Lewis with 12 points. For Teays Valley, Harkah was the leading scorer with 20 points followed by 17 points from Rachel Kiser and 10 points from Rachel Pence. Because Teays Valley isn’t in the West Virginia Secondary Schools Activities Commission, it is allowed to use students from the middle school to help field a team. “When we can we pull up eighth-graders to give us players to come off the bench,” Bailey said. Kiser has had a lot of fun playing in her senior year. “Coach Tim Bailey is an amazing coach,” she said.
Buffalo looks to rebound as postseason approaches By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com
With the start of postseason play just 10 days away, Buffalo needs to rebound – literally and figuratively – to meet the goal of another state tournament trip. Although the Bison lost 65-48 to Charleston Catholic, the game’s second half showed signs that turnaround may be coming. After Buffalo fell behind by 17 at halftime against a team ranked seventh in Class A in the MetroNews Power Index, the team battled to a draw in the second half. A big reason for that was that after the Irish had as many offensive rebounds as the Bison (11-7) had total rebounds in the first 16 minutes, the totals were nearly even after intermission. “A tale of two halves,” Coach Chuck Elkins said. “We didn’t play very well in the first half and didn’t have a whole lot of effort, I don’t think. The second half
(Charleston Catholic) didn’t play as well and we put a lot of effort in.” The teams battled through the first quarter despite the rebounding disparity, but Charleston Catholic (11-6) went on a 10-0 run that extended into the second quarter and opened up a 27-13 lead. That margin extended to 3619 at halftime, but the second half was even at 29-29. “I can’t fault our effort in the second half,” Elkins said. Senior Gabe Garrison came off the bench to score six of his eight points in the second half and had a team-high six rebounds, three of them offensive. He and Corey Hoshor, who scored six points, also added some intensity with Garrison drawing a pair of charges. “You don’t get to play Charleston Catholic very often,” Garrison said. “Me and Corey usually get about 20-25 minutes a game. When you get opportuni-
ties to play that much against them, you want to play your heart out.” Garrison and Laythen Good had 14 points each Saturday night as Buffalo beat Greenbrier West 54-50. John Hodges and Bradley Harris said the team got a clear message at halftime of the Charleston Catholic game, much of it focused around rebounding and effort. “We’ve got to hold our box outs longer,” Hodges said, noting a way to combat the team’s size disadvantage. “We didn’t have enough heart to go get loose balls.” Harris acknowledged some yelling in the locker room. “Maybe we need that more,” he said. “It gets us fired up. If we all shoot the ball well, we can be a really good team.” Dawson added, “We can play with anybody in the state if we play two halves.”
Buffalo’s Gabe Garrison draws a foul on his way to the basket. Garrison had eight points in the matchup. Buffalo has played one of the toughest Class A schedules in the state this year. Of the seven losses, two are to top-ranked Huntington St. Joe, two are to perennial power Charleston Catholic, one is top 2014 title contender Greater
Beckley Christian and other to Clay Battelle, likely to win the Hometown Invitational Tournament. “We’ve played some pretty good teams,” Elkins said. “We have Magnolia and Tucker County this week to top it off. It’s a challenge for our kids. I know it’s frustrating to them. “They’re a good team, but at some point we have to show it. We have to have something good happen.” Elkins knows, however, that being better on the boards is critical to late-season success. “We have been screaming our fool heads off in practice and in games to rebound,” he said. “It just looks like our team is not destined to rebound. If we don’t get good box outs, we’re not big enough to rebound.” It’s not too late, though. “If we get going,” Garrison said, “we’re going to be something to see.”
