Poca whips Scott By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com
WEST MADISON – It’s still early in the season, so Poca can find aspects of its game to improve. Probably. Maybe? Coach Allen Osborne certainly will find ways the Dots can finetune things, but he also likely would take lots more performances like his team turned in Jan. 8 at Scott. Poca (5-1) jumped out to a 17-1 lead with just more than a minute to play in the first quarter, and the margin got within double-digits just once after that. The final was 70-49, with the Dots scoring by quarter reading 18-17-18-17 in an almost unbelievable display of balance. Scott fell to 5-4 with the loss. “On offense we were really efficient tonight,” Osborne said. “We came out and shot the ball well. We made them chase us. It was a good win for us.” SEE DOTS ON PAGE 8

Toyota leader sees bright future By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
As the first female president in the history of Toyota’s successful Buffalo plant, Millie Marshall wants to inspire other female leaders while also continuing the amazing growth the facility has experienced over nearly two decades. "My career has been a journey, not a destination," Marshall said. Her road to success was ignited more than 24 years ago. The first step along Marshall's drive to Toyota presidency began in Georgetown, Ky., where she worked as a specialist in the information systems department in 1991. Next, she accelerated to general manager of administration at Toyota Motor Manufacturing in Huntsville, Ala., in 2003. In 2009, she served as vice president of human resources at Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc. in Erlanger, Ky. In 2012, Marshall moved up to senior vice president of manufacturing at the Buffalo plant. Just weeks ago, she began as president

SEWER FROM PAGE 1 Poca residents, who use 4,000 gallons, pay an average monthly bill of $47.29. Culloden residents pay about $52.68; Buffalo $37.40; Eleanor $20.12; Hurricane $43.82; Nitro $37.93; Winfield $35 and Putnam PSD $39.64. If Putnam PSD acquires the system, consumers would likely see a decline in rates, a change that General Manager Michael McNulty believes would take effect in 2015. "At some point, we'll have an equalization of rates, assuming the election is favorable," he said. "Their [Poca consumers] rates will be the rates in place today, but at some point in 2015, we would consolidate their rates with ours, and I speculate some drop." Town workers completed the renovation of some of Poca's deteriorating system in 2013. That project took more than $1.2 mil-
lion of the town's budget to complete, bringing the total sewer system debt to about $2 million, according to Poca Mayor Jim Caruthers. However, if voters choose to sell the system to Putnam PSD, the county organization will buy it for $1, incur the town's debt associated with it and hire the employees that currently maintain the Poca system. "It's time for a better structure to come in," said Caruthers. "The sewer lines are old and starting to break down." He continued, "They [Putnam PSD] will pick up the $2 million worth of debt and about 670 new customers." The money saved could free up funds to be used to complete the town's street paving and repair project, Caruthers said. The streets are about 80 percent finished, he noted.

The treatment facility and sewer system in Poca could soon be turned over to Putnam PSD following voter results during an upcoming special election. If voters choose to sale the system to Putnam PSD, residents could see a lower bill, more payment options and a stronger town budget. Photo by Justin Waybright The mayor, along with members of the Poca Sanitary Board, agree the future of the town is the inspiration behind pursuing the Putnam PSD. A statement from the Sanitary Board states the intention behind the decision. "As it stands now, Poca's Sanitary Board is fiscally unable to expand the system or accomplish future upgrades that will be
demanded by a growing population and increasingly stringent federal and state environmental regulatory mandates," the letter reads. "It is our hope that we can join our system to that of Putnam PSD's, so that our town may enjoy quality wastewater service from one of the state's premier sewer collection and treatment systems. In doing so, we can help
position Poca as an integral part of one of West Virginia's most dynamic centers of growth and progress." McNulty believes an acquisition of the sewer system would be a win-win for his organization as well as the town of Poca. "Poca is part of Putnam County, and this would benefit them and place Poca in a better position for economic development and ensure folks in the town they are going to have more sustainability in their system," he said. "We have a customer base of more than 11,000 people, so we have more resources and employees that can respond to emergencies." The mayor also supports the move. "This is a big issue for Poca and could be a real advantage for us," he said. "It could be a move forward for us." Early Voting is slated from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, beginning Jan. 18. and continuing from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Jan. 20 through Jan. 24.

Teamwork proves successful in water crisis By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
Throughout the water crisis, Putnam countians displayed resiliency. Residents, business owners, county leaders and church volunteers united to overcome the dire time. Of the nine counties affected, Putnam was the only one not to run out of water at its countless distribution sites, according to emergency officials. It was also noted as the one county where water was distributed hours before FEMA arrived. The distribution site at Poca High School was recognized as the second highest rated location among the
nine affected counties. The high level of teamwork behind the crisis dominated discussions during the Jan. 14 Putnam County Commission meeting. "Folks have been working 24 hours a day on the water crisis," Commissioner Steve Andes said. Putnam PSD General Manager Michael McNulty is one of those. "Once we became aware, we were inundated with phone calls - there was a lot of confusion and a lot of panic," he said. "Our board of directors approved a 1,000-gallon credit for those that have Putnam PSD sewer, but have West Virginia American Water." Since Thursday, officials at
Putnam PSD have filled tanker trucks and have given countless gallons of water to all those in need, McNulty said. "We appreciate you and the citizens of Putnam County certainly do," Andes added. Next, Frank Chapman, director of Putnam County EMS spoke about the trials and tribulations the weather and water have wreaked on the area during 2014. "A week ago, we had nearly 4,000 power outages from the cold front, and then we had the water situation," he said. "From the time of the water incident Thursday - within 24 hours, we put water in the hands of Putnam County citizens." Crews from FEMA arrived
within 48 hours, Chapman said. "To get water like this without FEMA is honestly unheard of," he said. "We're committed and we'll be here until it's over." The sheriff's department has had deputies working around the clock. From seeing an unusual spike in domestic violence to delivering food and water to residents, crews have stayed busy. "I played a dual position, and when I put my military hat on, I saw a huge, tactical nightmare," Sheriff Steve Deweese said. "We escorted 26, 53-foot trailers of water and gave meals to residents." In addition to providing assistance during the state of emergency, deputies responded to 16
domestic violence calls, Deweese said. "This was the only spike in crime," he explained. "Everybody's inside, tempers are short because of water...We call it 'Cabin Fever.'" Andes responded, "Because of you, Frank Chapman and all your people - you're dedicated like a well-oiled machine - we appreciate the team effort." Commissioner Andy Skidmore added, "Raising a family in Putnam County and seeing this here, brings a lot of peace." By Tuesday afternoon, much of the Charleston area's ban on water had been lifted. The Putnam County Commission meets again at 9 a.m. Tuesday Jan. 28.

County overcomes water crisis By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
After a slew of power outages, weather damages and the water ban, resilient communities in Putnam County united to help those in need. From local churches offering free water to residents, to area high schools working with American Red Cross to give cases of water away, residents, businesses and organizations pushed through the crisis. Crews at the Hurricane Fire Department gave numerous gallons of water to those affected by the chemical spill. City resident Larissa Jackson filled up a bag of water bottles for her friends and family Friday morning. "It's great that the fire department is helping other people," she said. "I really appreciate this." Chief Frank Stover said volunteers at the department had gone through hundreds of gallons of water. "We're here for our citizens, and this is a joint effort with the Teays Valley Fire Department and the Office of Emergency Services," he said. "We got to step up and help all our neighbors, no matter where they're from." Countless businesses stepped up to help. One local business man, MCP Vice President Jamie Humphrey, purchased 10 pallets of water with 84 cases per pallet. He brought it all back to the affected areas and distributed it to those in need. "It was just the right thing to do, to help out people, who have been affected by this incident," Humphrey said."MCP Enter-

Municipalities in the county followed suit. Workers in Hurricane distributed water at Wal-Mart and delivered it to residents in need. "Everyone's done a good job, providing for the community," said City Manager Ben Newhouse. "It's been refreshing to see people respond to help others - that's good to see." Newhouse said city officials are looking at ways to improve resources to better prepare themselves in the event of another emergency crisis. Residents in Winfield also came together during the situation to help. "We've had better weeks, but we're surviving," said Mayor Randy Barrett. "I got a call from the mayor of Summersville, and he donated a skid of water to us,

so we gave it out at the police department, and I was able to deliver about six cases to people, who couldn't get out." In Poca, lines of vehicles stretched across the high school parking lot Sunday afternoon. Volunteers gave away cases of water to families throughout the weekend. Town Clerk Jolita Raine said she is proud of the residents of Poca. "There were quite a bit of people helping out around here," she said. "Everybody here stepped up and were good neighbors, and it seems like everyone is ok." Scott Jones, communications coordinator of Putnam PSD said his organization also pitched in to help. "We wanted to make sure people had water, and we were just trying to be a good neighbor," he said. The YMCA and Valley Park offered free showers during the crisis. Countless churches in the county distributed water. As of Monday afternoon, the water ban, affecting more than 300,000 West Virginians was still in effect. Officials at West Virginia American Water did show a glimmer of hope during a Sunday press conference. "I can tell you at this point, I don't believe we're several days from starting to lift (the ban), but I'm not saying today," President

Putnam Board of Zoning Appeals seeks members By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
Water from a burst sprinkler system destroyed a large section of ceiling tile in a third grade classroom in Scott-Teays Elementary. School officials moved students to the library until the room was fully repaired.
Schools hit hard by winter blast By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
The onslaught of the polar vortex left teachers in two Putnam County schools picking up the pieces, literally. A river of water from a busted sprinkler system ran through the halls and classrooms of Hurricane Town Elementary and ScottTeays Elementary last week. At Hurricane Town Elementary the water destroyed countless books, rugs, furniture and electronics. The smell of soaked carpet and textbooks enveloped the entire school. Principal Debbie Spicer will never forget the tragic scene at her school when she arrived on Jan. 8. "It was truly a nightmare," she said. "I thought I was going to the ground...It took my heart." Spicer walked by the entrance where a blank monitor that used to display student achievements still hangs. It remains in disrepair. "The kids were heartbroken when they came in the next day," she said. "It's been awful." Crews from the Hurricane Police Department, Hurricane Fire Department, Putnam County School System and First Response aided the school. They worked around the clock and into the latter part of the week. Water-logged ceiling tiles were replaced, damaged electrical wires were addressed and dehumidifiers sucked numerous gallons of water from carpeted classrooms. Yet, every 30 minutes, teachers call the main office to report losses - everything from textbooks to desks. "Every classroom has books that are damaged," Spicer said. "Water ran through the width of the school and stopped in the middle of the gymnasium. "I'm not sure how much we can save.” Seven miles across the county, officials at Scott-Teays Elementary School suffered similar problems.
Water burst from a classroom sprinkler system and poured across the floors of nearly a third of the building. It broke through the drop ceiling, damaging 23 text books, one laptop and four desktop computers. "It was like a waterfall in here...Everything got washed, and the classroom is now closed down for repair," Principal Beth Pitzer said. "It's been emptied out and the kids have been moved to the library." A large hole in the ceiling remains a constant reminder of what happened. Cleaning supplies and fans cover the floor of the vacant space that used to house a full third grade class. Pitzer remains confident. She said the school has enough materials to share with students until the items that were damaged get replaced. "We should be fine," she said. "The kids aren't missing out on instruction time." GW Middle School endured a similar problem, but on a minor scale. A waterline broke and leaked inside a mechanical closet. Putnam Schools Superintendent Chuck Hatfield said the damage was not extensive. He said issues such as these are common within the school system. "They're typical - we have those things happen from time to time, and we deal with roof leaks and burst pipes from year to year," Hatfield said. "The temperature has been colder, and we think that had a bearing on Hurricane Town and Scott-Teays." Overall costs for repairs have yet to be determined, Hatfield said. Once repairs and inspection are completed, any costs would be covered by the State Board of Risk. Putnam students have had eight days of school canceled thus far. Because of this, Hatfield and school board members will extend the 2014 school calendar beyond its original end date of May 30 to a new end date of Jun. 6.
The Putnam County Board of Zoning Appeals is looking for three people to serve as alternate members. The board consists of five regular members and three alternates. This is to ensure it is able to have a quorum to conduct monthly meetings when necessary. "There are only five members on our regular Board of Zoning Appeals, so we really depend on our alternates every month," said Sandra Mellert, director of the Office of Planning and Infrastructure. "It's important that we have alternates, so we won't hold a project up or inconvenience the public if a regular member is absent." Mellert continued, "I'd like to, at all times, keep three alternate members - that way we are more assured that we will never have to cancel meetings." Those appointed will assist the board in hearing appeals of administrative decisions made by the Office of Planning and Infrastructure and requests for variances and special permits from the zoning ordinance. To be eligible, applicants must be a resident of the county for at least three years. He or she cannot be a member of the planning commission and cannot hold any other elective or appointive office in county government. Those who apply must have lived within the specific zone that stretches from Hurricane to Buffalo. Much of the zone lies

"Alternate members are extremely valuable, and I think it's amazing that people will give up their time and provide a community service," Mellert said. "If you have the desire, then we have the desire to have you."
Those interested can receive an application at http://planning.putnamcounty.org or by calling the Office of Planning and Infrastructure at (304) 586-0237. The Putnam County Board of Zoning Appeals meets at 7 p.m. during the second Thursday of every month that there is an agenda.

Christian's Sports Beat: Running in the winter
By: Christian Deiss
CHARLESTON - Remember less than two weeks ago when the thermometer dropped below zero? Well that forced a lot of runners to train inside - including me and my parents. That also got me to thinking just how runners should train during winter months. I went to a local expert that I thought could answer my questions on the subject - Chris Parsons, Cabell Midland High School’s Track and Cross Country Coach and Athletic Director. I asked Parsons, despite the cold temperatures during winter, why is it important to train during that time, “There are two types of runners. There is the seasonal runner, which is one that doesn’t start training until the season starts, their actual season is ei-
ther track or cross country, so they wouldn’t start training until March, go for about three months and then take a big break until August and go until October; and there is the runner that is a bit more serious about the sport and realizes to reach their full potential they need to be a 12-month runner. Does that mean you have to run every single day, no, but year-round training improves their competitive ability.” Parsons has coached high school runners for over three decades. I try to run at least once a week and training for soccer three times a week so I understand it’s good to work out various body parts. I asked Coach Parsons what types of training should a runner do during winter, “A runner should maintain the same sort of training that they do during warmer months if possible. Maybe during the winter months working on their base with a little more mileage would help. You train your body all year long, just a little different in the winter.” Last year I managed to get in over 250 miles, while competing in nine races, all-time highs for me. During the winter I mostly run inside on a treadmill and indoor track. There are times though when I get a chance to run out-
side and I know I need to wear the proper clothing, which Parsons agreed with, “Everything depends on what the weather is outside. If it’s a real cold day, your best bet is to go in layers. You will see a lot of people wear a cotton t-shirt and wear a big sweatshirt and think it’s warm. But what you really need to do is wear a dry fit shirt against your body, which doesn’t hold moisture, which can make you cold during your run. The colder it is, the more layers you need with a wind breaking top for the outside layer. Don’t forget to wear a hat because that’s where most of the heat escapes the body and also think about layering your gloves.” Parsons told me what socks a runner should wear when running in cold temperatures, “A dry fit sock is probably the way to go again keeping the moisture out and since your feet are moving anyway, they stay warm a little better.” The coldest it has been for me during an outside run was 18-degrees for the Turkey Trot 5-K on Thanksgiving morning in Huntington. I mostly run on a treadmill, but when I run outside it’s usually on the sidewalk or a trail. Parsons admits he’s not much of a fan of treadmills and prefers trail running, “If you can run

In accomplishing her vision, she will employ goals that include everything from expansion to increased community support. "We just recently announced an expansion with our transmissions that will increase our annual volume from 500,000 to over 700,000 annually," Marshall said. "We also want to continue to be a strong
community supporter, so we can help our state be a great place to live and work." Since the Buffalo facility opened in 1996, it has sped into the fast lane of economic prosperity. The local facility has expanded eight times; has broken the company record by being the only plant outside of Japan to produce more than 10 million transmission units; has created countless jobs for local residents, and is

If you have to stay inside, the treadmill will work, but your legs take less beating outside on trails.

It’s a great thing for not only young people but everyone.” For more information on winter running races, check out the following websites, www.tristateracer.com, www.tallmantrackclub.com or stop by Robert’s Running and Walking Shop in either Huntington or Charleston.

hailed as the only Toyota plant in North America to produce transmissions. Marshall hopes milestones such as these continue to drive the destiny of Buffalo's Toyota plant. She spoke about the recent $90 million expansion project that began in fall of 2013. "We are still in the planning preparation stage, and we will begin external hiring the first quarter of 2014 with the start of
production in the fourth quarter of 2014," Marshall explained. "This is a very aggressive schedule that has not been done before. Once again, the TMMWV team has accepted the challenge and I am sure we will be successful." The project is expected to bring in about 80 local jobs between now and 2015, according to estimates by Toyota. Marshall is confident in the prediction. "As long as we continue to practice the Toyota Way, which encompasses a challenging spirit, along with continuous improvement, teamwork and respect for people, the future will continue to be bright," she said. With a record of ongoing success preceding her, Marshall's outlook is one of inevitable progress. "As North American demand is increasing, I am energized about TMMWV’s future," she said. "This plant is driven to exceed and has accomplished great things – we are challenged in the spirit of continuous improvement that each year will be better than the year before." Toyota's West Virginia Motor Manufacturing's new president continued, "With our talented and dedicated team members, I am confident that we will continue to be successful."

Participants enjoy the challenges along with the variety of exercises.
Potential Plus and Revved Up Crossfit Move you beyond fit Potential Plus Revved Up CrossFit helps participants build strength and endurance while encouraging a healthy lifestyle in a supportive community. CrossFit participants are often drawn to the program because of the challenging nature of the classes, but keep coming back for the sense of community that develops among members. CrossFit member Shannon Lambert explains, “We encourage and motivate each other to finish the workouts and are really supportive of one another in our fitness and weight loss goals.” For those working to achieve New Year’s Resolutions, CrossFit provides a variety of exercises and movements which challenge the body’s muscular and cardiovascular systems. Members are also coached on proper nutrition for optimal performance and fat loss. CrossFit classes consist of constantly varied, functional movement performed at high intensity. These classes are supervised by Potential Plus’s highly educated athletic trainers and exercise physiologist. Under their close watch, injuries are prevented. The 1-hour classes are weekdays at 8:30 a.m. and 7 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays at 5:30 a.m., and Saturdays at 9 a.m. Open Gym times are also available for members: weekdays from 9:30 a.m. to noon and 8 to 9 p.m. Participants newer to the CrossFit family participate in the FirstGear class where proper form and technique are taught. Classes are conducted in Potential Plus’s 18,000 square foot sports complex with a wide variety of equipment. High school students and adults of any age are encouraged to attend our First Gear and Revved Up Cross-
Fit classes. Middle school students may attend classes if accompanied by a participating adult. “When people tell us they are intimidated by CrossFit’s high intensity reputation, we explain the exciting thing about our program is that we meet people where they are and build from there,” said Mark Roe, Revved Up Certified CrossFit Instructor. Revved Up CrossFit isn’t the only fitness program Potential Plus offers. They partner with WV Running Coach Matt Young to host the Genesis 5K Training Program, designed to help beginning runners and walkers train to run a 5K race in just 10 weeks. The program is intended for new runners with the purpose of creating healthy lifestyles. The week by week training routine is designed for the most basic levels with absolutely no experience required. For children and teenagers, Potential Plus provides seasonal team training, group training classes, and individual athletic training for middle and high school athletes. Additionally, they provide a Beginning Potential class for elementary students and a Homeschool Fitness class so homeschool students can take advantage of hands-on physical education with trainers. Potential Plus and Revved Up CrossFit’s trainers all have bachelor’s and master’s degrees in an exercise-related field, and are nationally certified in their respective areas of expertise. This helps ensure safety and proper training techniques which minimize injury and maximize the effects of participants time and effort. For more information about the classes call Matt Smith, Potential Plus Director at (304) 757-7293 or visit www.potentialpluswv.com.
Potential Plus, an athletic performance enhancement program, is registering for winter classes. Beginning in Jan., spring sports conditioning classes are available for both middle and high school students. “Training at Potential Plus has become a very important part of my life. The trainers there are very knowledgeable and they are willing to give time to teach you and help you with anything,” said Nick
Young, Hurricane High School senior soccer player. “I’ve learned so much from these great trainers and they are the reason I love fitness!” The winter sports conditioning classes focus on track and field, baseball, softball, tennis and other off-season sports. “We will work on explosive movements, increasing vertical jump, speed, agility and running mechanics,” said Matt Smith, Potential Plus Director. “Pre-season training is impor-
tant because it helps prevent injury, and by the time practice starts the students are conditioned to an elite level.” There will also be a general fitness class for homeschool students from kindergarten through 12th grade starting in Sept.. For more information about the classes call Matt Smith, Potential Plus Director at (304) 757-7293 or register online at www.potentialpluswv.com.
Training program begins in January For beginning runners and walkers, training for a 5K can seem like a daunting task. But running coach Matt Young has developed the Genesis training program for just that purpose, to help beginning runners and walkers train for a 5K over 10 weeks. “Since 2007 Genesis has prepared new runners to run their first 5k and has helped experienced runners run their fastest 5K,” says Young. “Through a coaching program of thorough preparation, incremental training and accountability from a coach and other participants, runners gain the confidence and preparation
they need to finish their first event.” The program is intended for beginning runners without any experience with the purpose of creating healthy lifestyles. The program begins Jan. 27, and the week by week training routine will equip the most basic levels of runners and walkers to be ready to participate in a 5K on Apr. 5.

Poca girls get first victory of year against Buffalo By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com
For the Poca Lady Dots, it’s a victory they hope to build on. For the Buffalo Lady Bison, it was a loss they hope to learn from. Poca got its first victory of the season Jan. 9, beating its crosscounty rival 53-43. After both teams got off to slow starts for a 5-5 tie at the end of the first quarter, the teams traded big runs before settling into a pace that eventually benefited the Lady Dots. The 53 points marked a season high. “If we could score 50 points a game we would have won a few more games,” Coach Kenny Sayre said. “We play pretty good defense. It falls back to a rival game – it’s nice to win those.” Harley Hutchins had a careerhigh 21 points and nine rebounds in the victory, while McKenzie Ball had 16 points and Casey Skeens added 12. The Lady Dots had a 41-33 advantage on the boards, including 11 offensive rebounds. While Sayre saw lots of positives to build on, Buffalo Coach Jamie Ball was disappointed in the intensity he saw. The Lady Bison used a 14-2 run late in the second quarter to take a 22-19 lead at halftime, and Buffalo pushed the margin to eight early in the third quarter when Olivia Dunn drained a 3-pointer. But Poca answered with a 13-2 run to retake the lead, and the Lady Dots never trailed again. “Intensity,” Ball said when asked what went wrong. “We didn’t box out on defense. They got to every loose ball.” After taking the lead, the team “relaxed. You could probably see that from the stands.” Buffalo pulled within two points at 37-35 when Dunn hit a 3-pointer with 4:28 left in the game, but the Lady Dots answered again back-to-back threes from Hutchins and never looked back. “It felt really good,” the senior said of the team’s first victory after two very tough seasons. Ball added, “It was much needed. It felt great.” Poca had come close several times this year, including a triple overtime loss to Winfield. Hutchins and Ball said it’s clear the team is improving. “We’re seeing the court better,” Hutchins said. “We’re getting used to each other.” At a time when the team could have gotten tight and tense, the Lady Dots shot the ball excep-

Sayre said he didn’t want his team to slow the pace even with a late lead. “My motto is let it fly,” he said. “They were taking good shots. We struggle so much to score that if we have a good shot I want us to take it.” Kendal Sayre, Brooklyn Elkins
and Elizabeth Jackson played key roles defensively, keeping tabs on Buffalo all-state player Chelsey Parkins. Parkins had 13 points and 10 rebounds, while Dunn and Paige Roush had 11 each. “We didn’t communicate well on defense,” Parkins said. “We left them open, and they made shots.” Roush said the Lady Bison were upbeat with the halftime lead. “We came in the locker room pumped up,” she said. “We thought we could win it.”
The team scoring was nearly as balanced as the quarters, with Noah Frampton and Michael Chandler scoring 17 apiece, and freshman Elijah Cuffee adding 15. Christian Buckley added eight off the bench, and freshman Luke Frampton had seven despite missing much of the first half after picking up two early fouls. Cameron Cottrill had six to round out the attack, and the victory happened without senior Jacob Payne, who should return from injury soon. “We move the ball pretty well as a team,” Chandler said after the victory. “Our whole team can score. We can be a great offensive team and a great defensive team.” Poca turned the ball over just six times and had assists on an amazing 16 of 26 field goals. Three others came on breakaways after steals, and another pair were offensive rebounds. That communication is particularly impressive considering two freshmen are in the starting lineup. “It’s really fun,” Cuffee said. “It’s a lot of fun playing with these guys.” Osborne credited some of the instant chemistry to overall intelligence, noting the team has a 3.5 GPA. Chandler, a junior, added another reason. “We’ve been playing with each other our whole lives,” he said. “It’s a big advantage. We know each others’ weaknesses and
strengths.” Far more of the latter than the former were on display in front of a packed house at Scott. The Dots took a 7-0 lead before the Skyhawks got a free throw then ran off 10 more points in a row. Noah Frampton had a torrid start with 10 of those initial 17 points, including a pair of 3-pointers. A halftime break did little to cool off the Dots, who had an 11-2 run near the start of the second half to erase any Skyhawks’ thoughts of a comeback. In spite of the impressive performance, Cuffee and Chandler know the team can – and needs to – get better. “I need to work on knowing the plays better,” Cuffee said, while Chandler added that communication can always be better on the defensive end in particular. When asked about postseason play, Osborne quickly moved the conversation back to the near term. “We need to get better at practice tomorrow,” he said. “We’re just going to try to get better and win the next game.” That game was supposed to be at home against a tough Chapmanville team, but it was postponed due to the water problems that affected the entire Kanawha Valley. That game hasn’t been rescheduled, but Scott team is scheduled to play at Poca on Friday night.

Buffalo boys struggle with shooting in home loss By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com
The Buffalo boys know they have what it takes to make a run in the postseason, but they will have to shoot the ball better than they did in a loss to Huntington St. Joe. The Bison struggled from the field all night, failing to make a single 3-pointer and missing more than a handful of layups in a disappointing 60-43 defeat on Jan. 7. What makes it even more frustrating is that Buffalo led late at St. Joe before falling in overtime earlier this season. “We did not shoot very well at all,” Coach Chuck Elkins said afterward. “When we were down 10-6 we had a couple chances to even it up or take the lead and we didn’t score. We missed a lot of shots early.” Aaron Lewis tied the score 6-6 with 5:20 left in the first quarter, but the Irish went on an 11-2 run as Buffalo scored just one field goal over the next five minutes. The Bison battled early in the second quarter, coming within three points at 21-18 when Bradley Harris scored on a feed from John Hodges, but that was as close as it would get the rest of the way. St. Joe went on another big run, this one 10-2, and Buffalo didn’t get closer than eight points the rest of the way. “Frustration takes over, and we made some mistakes that we wouldn’t normally make,” Elkins said. “It was just not a very good

St. Joe got 14 points each from three players – Iain Clark, Brian Conaty and Josiah Pierson – while Keith Clemmons added 10. Harris confirmed Elkins’ theory that two days out of school, including game day, had the players out of their routines. The energy level just wasn’t where it needed to be, he and Hodges said. “They’re a good team,” Harris said. “We didn’t have much en-
ergy and they have such quick guards.” Hodges added, “We came out flat and couldn’t recover. We just turned the ball over too much.” Buffalo turned the ball over eight times in the opening half compared to just one for Huntington St. Joe, which was too much to overcome when added to the shooting woes. St. Joe Coach Ross Scaggs, on the other hand, was very pleased with the way his Irish played in what he expected to be a tough contest. “We emphasize taking care of the ball and rebounding,” Scaggs

We’re very balanced, and they really like playing together. You can tell.” Scaggs knows what Buffalo is capable of, and it’s certainly possible the two will meet again in the postseason. “This is a hard place to play,” he said. “Chuck does a great job, and it’s always a tough game.” The region in which both teams play is arguably the best in Class A. Five of the top 10 teams in the state are repre-
sented, including Charleston Catholic, St. Joe and Buffalo in the same section, with Williamstown and Parkersburg Catholic on the other side. Just two of the five can make the state tournament. “It’s going to be very tough,” Elkins acknowledged. Finishing as one of the top two seeds ensures a home game, however, which could be crucial. “We need to have some people step up, play better team defense,” Hodges said of what it will take to win going forward.
There’s nothing like racing By Destinee Keyes Poca High School
Differing from the common school sports, football, basketball, volleyball, etc., Poca High School students have an interest for an “outside of school” sport known as Motocross Racing. Motocross Racing takes a lot of skill. You must have upperbody strength, focus, determination, power, and control. Poca High Senior A.J. Keyes began racing three years ago. “It looked like a lot of fun,” Keyes said, “I think my favorite thing about it was that I could go as fast as I wanted, and jumping the jumps felt great; it gave me such an adrenaline rush!” Keyes rode a Yamaha YZ250F. His favorite professional racer was James Stewart. He actually got the chance to meet Stewart once while in Virginia. Keyes quit racing shortly after a very traumatic wreck at a
racetrack in Virginia, where he broke seven bones and was in the hospital for quite some time. He does not plan to race anymore, but he enjoyed it while he did it. “It was physically exhausting, and you have to think smart and fast, but if someone ever thought they’d want to try it, they should. It’s a great experience.” Another student at Poca High School, Lauren Bethel, shares the interest in racing. Bethel is a sophomore and has raced for seven years now. She rides a Honda 150R. She watched a race once, and she immediately fell in love. As Keyes said, Bethel, too, thought it looked really fun, so she gave it a shot. She said her favorite thing about racing is the smell of VP race fuel. “My favorite track would probably be Muddy Creek,” she said. She tries to race at least every weekend.
“I most often race at the Milton MX Racetrack,” she said. Bethel never plans to quit racing. Her inspiration is Justin Barcia. She hopes to be as amazing as him some day. Poca High Junior Austin Jack is actually somewhat of a new face around the track. He began racing little over a year ago. “It looked like a lot of fun, and it’s competitive,” he said, “so it looked like my kind of sport.” Jack races a 2010 Honda 250R. His favorite thing about racing is the competition. “I don’t necessarily plan to go big, but I still want to race even after college,” he said. Jack races every weekend, mainly in Mason County. His favorite track is Muddy Creek in Tennessee and his favorite professional racer is Chad Reed. He’s a huge inspiration to Jack. “Long story short,” Jack concluded, “racing is an extremely fun sport. There’s nothing else like it.”

Putnam Rotary scholars provide update to group "I wouldn't be able to do it without your scholarship," Braxton Maddox told Putnam Rotarians at their regular meeting last week. He is in his freshman year at Marshall in a pre-pharmacy track. "The goal is to get my undergraduate work done in two years and finish pharmacy school in four,” he said. "Marshall is not too big but the dorms are nice. The library is nice. "I didn't do as well as I thought I would - I got two As and three Bs - in chemistry, chemistry lab, biology, calculus and English. "Biology was hard," he continued, "but they have a learning assistance program where you work after class four times a week." The helpers monitor the classes. Maddox plays volleyball and soccer when not in his books or at the recreation center and he is active in the Campus Crusade for Christ. The Winfield High graduate was inspired by an aunt to study pharmacology and he worked for Fruth Pharmacy in Hurricane last
summer. Kayla Hinkley is in her sophomore year at West Virginia Wesleyan. With a cumulative grade point average of 3.86, the Hurricane High graduate is already taking upper division classes and planning to take the rigorous Graduate Management Admission Test next semester. A successful performance on the GMAT will enable Hinkley to enter an advanced program and graduate in four years with a degree in international business and a Master's Degree in Business Administration. What has she learned? "Everyone wants to believe that they can do everything at once and at all times," she said at the Jan. 7 meeting. "College gives you opportunities to try a lot of different things, but it's also taught me that I can't do everything." She gave up the position as cocaptain of the cheerleading squad and took on the responsibilities as a residence assistant for a freshman dorm. "It's been a blessing to be a part

of [other student] lives. I absolutely love them and they actually call me 'mom,'" she said. Hinkley made Alpha Lambda Delta, an honor society for firstyear students, and she worked successfully to have SWAT (Students Working Against Tobacco) recognized officially as a campus organization. Wesleyan is a private college, Hinkley said, and every year the tuition costs increase. Some books run to $300. "I just spent $150 on supplies for one class next month," she said. Last fall Putnam Rotary awarded three students with $2,000 scholarships. Hinkley is a two-time winner. The Annual Charity Raffle sponsored by Rotary pays a major part of the scholarships. President Steve Patrick announced that a limit of 400 tickets will be offered in coming weeks by individual club members. Holders of the $20 tickets will participate in three drawings two for $500 and one for a $1,000 jackpot.

Four Putnam County teachers have attained the profession’s highest certification of teaching excellence from the National Board of Professional Teaching Standards. Sherry Lyons, fifth grade teacher at George Washington Elementary, Maureen Miller, science teacher at Hurricane Middle, Keisha Runion, fourth grade teacher at Mountain View Elementary, and Marjorie Snyder, Spanish teacher at George Washington Middle, have joined thirty-two other Putnam Teachers considered the most highly credentialed teachers in the nation. Additionally, Cynthia Coulson, music teacher at Scott Teays Elementary achieved re-certification, which must be accomplished every 10 years.
National Board Certification is held by fewer than five percent of all teachers nationwide. To receive this certification, teachers must meet rigorous standards through intensive study, expert evaluation, self-assessment and peer review. They must demonstrate how their activities improve student achievement by submitting portfolios, videotapes, student work samples, and by passing rigorous assessments. “We are pleased that these excellent teachers are validated through National Board Certification,” states Superintendent Chuck Hatfield. “It recognizes their knowledge and skills and the quality instruction they bring to our students every day,” he says.

Lady Generals upend rival Hurricane
The Lady Generals and Lady Redskins battle for a rebound during the Jan. 8 game. Winfield beat their cross-county rival Hurricane 55-43. By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com
The hustle and determination of Winfield’s Haylea Roberson helped propel her team to a victory over cross-county rival Hurricane. Roberson scored 34 of Winfield’s 55 points, improving Winfield’s record to 4-1 on the season. “I think I hustled more than I usually do,” the junior said of what was different in the 55-43 win over Hurricane on Jan. 8. “Our team got going in the first quarter and kept it up. We really wanted this one tonight.” Winfield Coach Tim Toler was pleased his team stuck by the game plan. “We came out tonight ready to play from the start instead of waiting until the second half,” he said. “Haylea had a huge game for us. She wanted this game. She took her team members and put them on her back.” Although Hurricane likes an up-tempo game, leading scorer Taneisha Sturdavent said the team should have slowed down the game a bit and run plays.
“We needed to keep control of the ball and let plays develop,” the senior said. “We also needed to crash the boards more and be patient.” Sturdavent had 16 points for the Lady Redskins, followed by Kaylee Wooten with 14 points and Abby Watson with nine. All of Watson’s points came in the second half. She was forced to the bench after picking up two personal fouls in the first four minutes of the game. With Watson out of the game early in the first period, the Lady Generals took control scoring 17 points to Hurricane’s 12. “We have really been working hard on playing good defense and rebounding in practice,” Winfield’s Karley Rogers said. “Tonight it all came together for us. We knew Abby was a strong player and had to stay on her.” At the start of the third period Watson was back in the lineup and made her presence known. She quickly brought Hurricane within two points, closing the gap from 25-18 at the half to 26-24. “I figured they were going to play box and one on me,” Watson
said of Winfield’s Cheyenne Sawyers, who was charged with guarding Watson. “I knew other people would be open and was able to feed them the ball.” As a result of the fast-paced game, Sawyers picked up her fifth foul at the start of the fourth period, taking her out for the night. “She did a great job for us on Abby,” Toler said. “We needed to keep Abby from scoring in order to have success, and she did that for us.” In the fourth period Hurricane’s Wooten drained a couple of baskets from beyond the arc and brought her team within a point. The rival teams continued to battle back and forth until Roberson hit a layup and was fouled with a minute left. “We would build a six- to seven-point lead and they would get a couple of baskets under the bucket and come back,” Toler said. “Haylea hitting the layup and getting fouled was huge for us. We were able to put a few more points on the board and widen the gap.” Hurricane’s Emily Moore said her team came up just short. “We needed to play with more

through.” The two teams play again at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 30 at Hurricane High School.
