Putnam native helps honor nation’s veterans TEAYS VALLEY -- Twelve years ago, Congress passed a special law to honor the nation's veterans. At military funeral services, two uniformed people must be present to fold the flag properly. And there must be a bugler available to play taps. "With that law," David Melton told the Putnam Rotary Club recently, "there just weren't enough buglers present to do live bugle." Melton, a Putnam County native and Poca High graduate, had played the trumpet for some 57 years, and after he retired he sometimes played taps for military funerals. He joined Bugles Across America, an organization with the singular mission to provide a live bugler for military funerals. The organization now has over 7,500 volunteers signed up for the final rites honoring the half million veterans who die every year. In a chance meeting with Clem Pemberton, Commander of Winfield's American Legion Post 187, Melton learned that the members maintained a color guard to celebrate the traditions of the nation with schools, churches and community civic groups. The post also needed a bugler for funerals. The Post participates in about one service every week. Sure, SEE TAPS ON PAGE 3

Toyota’s Buffalo plant recognized by EPA By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
BUFFALO – Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia has been recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for achieving a 10 percent reduction in energy intensity through its ENERGY STAR Challenge For Industry program. Toyota's Buffalo plant was one of eight Toyota plants across the country recognized by the EPA. Collectively, the eight sites reduced energy intensity by nearly 24 percent. Energy intensity is measured relative to efficiency improvements in process and equipment. The ENERGY STAR Challenge For Industry program is only awarded to individual industrial sites. To gain recognition, the site’s company must be an ENERGY STAR partner. Earlier this year, Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America, Inc. (TEMA) received its eighth consecutive ENERGY STAR

Ethics complaint filed against Putnam Family Law Judge By Lawrence Smith www.wvrecord.com
CHARLESTON - A Putnam County family law judge again is accused of showing ill-temper toward a litigant. Robert R. Harper Sr. on July 20 filed an ethics complaint with the Judicial Investigation Commission against William M. "Chip" Watkins III.
In his complaint, Harper, 62, a retired Greyhound bus driver from Sissonville, said that in the five times he's appeared in family court since December, Watkins has "screamed, cussed, belittled, humiliated and threatened me in most of these hearings." Following one of those hearings on Jan 26, Harper says Watkins had him "jailed for 21
days for non-disclosure of monies that I had received in a malpractice settlement." A video of that hearing has been posted on YouTube. The purpose of the hearing was for Harper to prove why he should not be held in contempt for failing to pay child support to his ex-wife, Joyce Harper Halstead, whom he divorced in 1978.
A year ago, Harper says Halstead, who lives in Eleanor, with the help of the state Department of Health and Human Resources' Bureau for Child Support Enforcement, petitioned the court to collect alleged back child support despite money being deducted from his Social Security beneSEE WATKINS ON PAGE 3

they had a recording of taps which could be played through a ceremonial bugle. But it just didn't have the punch and dignity of a live performance. Melton watched the honor guard procedures on a wet winter day when snow was in the air. The members formed a circle and prayed -- for the family -- for safe travel -- and for a good job to honor the deceased. Says Melton, "Those fellows knew what it was all about. They knew their stuff." And that's why David Melton joined Post 187 as an active member, and how he became the official bugler for the Winfield veterans. But even with his musical background, he found the job was difficult. There was emotion. There were all kinds of conditions. To a good ear, temperature changes can make changes in a bugle's pitch. And there can be a problem with condensation. On one occasion, the group stood in a cold rain for the better part of an hour. Another time, Melton sounded taps while some 60 spectators jostled him on the only patch of solid ground in a muddy field. The performance must be without flaw. "You're representing the nation in a farewell tribute for service," he said. Melton plays a traditional brass bugle -- preferably a Bach Stradivarius or a Getzen, for the mellow quality. A top-of-the-line bugle with a hammered horn can cost more than $800. Taps may be performed on a trumpet, but the instrument is

About two minutes into the hearing, Watkins asks Harper to explain why he failed to disclose the proceeds he received from a medical malpractice suit he filed against the Cleveland Clinic for an operation that resulted in the amputation of his left leg below the knee. When Harper attempts to explain himself, Watkins cuts him off, and shouts, "Where's the money?" When Harper says he's prohibited to disclosing the amount, Watkins asks "What to you mean?" After Harper says he's prohibited from disclosing the amount he received from the settlement due to a confidentiality agreement he signed, Watkins becomes agitated and says, " No, no! No, no, no, no, no, no, there's money that's supposed to be available." After Harper points over to Halstead and says, "The money for her is available, sir," Watkins asks again, "Where is it?" When Harper says, "Contact my lawyer, sir," Watkins retorts, "No, Goddamit!" After Harper says "Don't cuss me, sir," Watkins responds by saying, "I'm going to cuss you because you came into my courtroom and lied." When Watkins again asks Harper why Halstead has not been paid, Harper again directs Watkins to contact his lawyer. At that point, Watkins slams some files onto his desk, and exclaims, "That's not my job!" Watkins then instructs his baliff to "Take his [Harper's] ass into custody, I'm tired of it." After Harper puts on a baseball hat, and lifts himself out his chair onto his crutches, Watkins says, "Now, you call up your lawyer and find out how to get you butt out of jail, and that's to sign over the money." In concluding his complaint, Harper says he has received let-

Bugle calls are a form of communication, and a bugle is limited to four notes. A trumpet, with its valve system, can play any note in the chromatic musical scale. This year marks 150 years that taps has been an American tradition. According to taps historian Jari Villanueva, the tune is a revision of "Extinguish Lights," which dates back to Napoleonic France. After the Seven Day's Battle of the Peninsular Campaign in 1862, Gen. Daniel Butterfield with the help of his brigade bugler revised the older tune.
The new bugle call was first sounded one night in July,1862, and soon spread to other units of the Army of the Potomac. Taps was made an official bugle call after the war. Melton closed his presentation with a recording of taps, and "To the Colors," a four-note salute to the flag which sometimes serves as a bugle substitute for the national anthem. Buglers are hard to find these days, but if one happens to hear the plaintive melody "All is well, Safely rest" in the distance, one might pause for a moment in respect. It well could be the honor guard of Post 187 and bugler David Melton offering a final tribute to a fallen comrade.

ters from Watkins "with remarks that I personally take as threats." Dealings with the family court over the last several months, Harper says, have resulted in him "suffering from mental exhaustion." "I am tired of Mr. Watkins and BCSE threatening me with jail and the lose [sic] of my only means of transportation," Harper said. The West Virginia Record attempted to get a comment from Watkins regarding Harper's complaint. He did not return repeated phone calls. Harpers' complaint is at least the sixth filed against Watkins with JIC this year. That includes one by Hurricane Pastor Arthur D. Hage last month that included release of a video from a May 23 hearing where Watkins falsely accuses Hage of being behind an article that appeared the day before on a Putnam County news website about Watkins and his wife previously being delinquent in paying their homeowner's association dues. The video shows Watkins, at times screaming so loud that it distorts the courtroom microphones. Also, Wakins threatens to put Hage in jail for not only contempt, but also if finds out if Hage was behind the acts of vandalism that occurred to his home following publication of the article.

Republican candidate Maloney pays visit to Putnam County By Chris Dickerson www.wvrecord.com
WINFIELD - Cleaning up West Virginia's court system is vital to improving the state, according to Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Maloney. "The court system is the number one thing we have to fix in this state," Maloney said recently during a town hall meeting at the Putnam County Courthouse. "The court system affects every aspect of our lives." Maloney said "serious" tort reform could encourage more businesses to move into West Virginia or expand in the state. "There are huge opportunities for job growth here," he told the

crowd of about 100 in the Old Courtroom. The event was part of his Blueprint for a Brighter Future Town Hall Tour. He told a story about a time he was in Germany working on a mining project. He noticed a small rope around the open mine shaft. "I asked them, 'What happens if you fall in the hole?'" Maloney said. "They said, 'Well, that would be your fault.'" In addition to seeking ideas from attendees about how to improve the state, Maloney discussed a variety of topics at the meeting. He talked about becoming energy independent, his plans to control government spending,
encouraging private investment, fixing the state's tax structure, cleaning up ethical issues in state government, strengthening the education system, making the state healthier and working to fight the EPA and its "overreaching" and "job-killing" policies. "I'm ready to fight President Obama's war on coal," he said, drawing cheers from the crowd. "You have to fight." As for joining the fight against ObamaCare, Maloney was quick to say he disagrees with the current leadership's stance. "We should've been the first state to join the fight," Maloney said, again drawing cheers. "Or at least, we should be the next one joining the list.”

WVU College of Business plans to honor Distinguished Alumni MORGANTOWN -- What better way to recognize your business school’s graduates than to celebrate their successes? That was the thinking last year when the West Virginia University College of Business and Economics created its Roll of Distinguished Alumni. B&E is accepting nominations of individuals for induction through Aug. 10. An induction ceremony will be held Homecoming Weekend on Sept. 28 in Morgantown. Dr. Jose Sartarelli, Milan Puskar Dean, WVU College of
Business and Economics, said B&E graduates have been successful in a number of career areas through the U.S. and around the world, and the Roll of Distinguished Alumni honors those individuals for their work. “B&E has helped mold countless careers in business, academia and government,” said Sartarelli. “The impact our graduates have had on the world is tremendous, and the Roll of Distinguished Alumni is a great way to celebrate the success they have had in their
respective careers.” The Roll of Distinguished Alumni was created last year in conjunction with B&E’s 60th Anniversary Celebration. Inaugural inductees last year included Joseph E. Antonini, Phyllis H. Arnold, J. Michael Bodnar, William T. Bright, Earl G. “Ken” Kendrick, William T. McLaughlin II, and Fred T. Tattersall. Nominated individuals must be B&E alumni, must be 10 years post-degree and must have distinguished themselves by success in business or life at
the regional, national or international level. “I have told countless students that I hope B&E gets to honor them in the Roll of Distinguished Alumni someday,” Sartarelli said. “I remind them that the people we honored last year and will honor this year were once students just like them.” “The alumni we honor have demonstrated the tremendous opportunity for success. We work very hard to provide students access to people who are great role models, and these
successful people inspire us all,” he said. “The fact that those who are honored in the Roll of Distinguished Alumni are B&E graduates makes this recognition very, very special.” To download a nomination packet or see past inductees, visit please w w w. b e . w v u . e d u / d i s t i n guished_alumni , or email bealumni@mail.wvu.edu or call 304.293.7807.
