CHAMBER RECOGNIZES JUNE BUSINESS OF THE MONTH PAGE 5
Meeting to discuss raising fire fee set for June 14 By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
WINFIELD – The Putnam County Commission will hold a special evening meeting on Thursday, June 14, at 7 p.m. at the courthouse in Winfield to discuss a proposal to raise the county's fire service fee. The Putnam Fire Board asked for the increase at the Commission's May 22 meeting. Last year, the Fire Board also asked for an increase in the fire service fee, but the commission rejected those increases, which would have doubled the amount home owners and businesses would have paid. The fire fee was implemented in 1986 and has never been raised. Putnam County Commissioner Joe Haynes asked for the evening meeting at the Commission's May 22 meeting, saying that he wanted everyone who had an interest in commenting on the proposed rate increase to have the opportunity to do so. “I feel it is important because it gives the community a chance to attend and have input,” Haynes said. “A lot of working people could not make a 9 a.m. meeting (the normal meeting time of the commission).” The most recent proposed SEE FEE ON PAGE 3

Winfield Middle students attend ‘Scrub Camp’ SUBMITTED ARTICLE WINFIELD -- The Winfield Middle school HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) recently participated in the 2012 Scrub Camp at Mountwest Community College on May 21 and 22. Twelve students traveled to Huntington to attend hands-on Health career seminars. The group was provided scrubs to wear for four sessions. During a Radiologic Technology session, students were shown how x-rays are used to diagnose patient cases. Students toured an ambulance then rotated stations to intubate, read an EKG machine, and drill an intraosseous insertion. During a Pharmacy Technician session, students used a mortar and pestle to compound powder and liquid then prepared an IV bag with a syringe. In the last Anatomy session, students dissected cow eyes.
Students who attended were Hadlee Amos, Clarisa Brunty, Tiffany Childers, Sela Cottrill, Savanna Hill, Taylor, Huffman, Alliayah Lovejoy, Gabe McGinnis, Maggie Rumbaugh, Cartney Schoolcraft, Danny Snyder, and Lindsey Wallace.
School Board approves $101 million budget By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
WINFIELD -- Putnam County School officials say that not much has changed in their recently-passed 2012-2013 budget from the year before, although it does grant a small pay raise to teachers, substitutes and those who keep the county's extracurricular activities going. The board approved the proposed $101.6 million budget on May 21. Of the school system's antici-
pated revenue, the largest portions come from state and local taxes, with 37 percent from the state and a third from the county's taxes. Of the expenditures, 85 percent is for employee' salaries. The excess levy rate remained the same from the previous year with 45.9 cents per $100 assessed value for residential property and 91.8 cents per $100 of assessed value for commercial properties. There was a slight decrease in the levy rate to pay back the schools-construction bond,
said Chris Campbell, treasurer. That bond will be 13.84 cents per $100 assessed value for resident and 27.68 cents per $100 assessed value on commercial properties. Campbell said one new allotment for the year – of $70,000 was to reimburse the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals for the county's new dedicated truancy probation officer position. This allotment will cover the salary, which is around $37,000 as well as health-care benefits and other costs for the
employee. The probation officer will technically be an employee of the court and have the power of the court to enforce court orders. The county, however, will reimburse the court for the costs. Superintendent Chuck Hatfield said the county has a strong record of managing its resources effectively. “The staff has been doing a very good job of spending the public's money. We are in good SEE BUDGET ON PAGE 3

The Putnam Standard FEE FROM PAGE 1 increase from the Fire Board is scaled back from last year's proposal. The proposed rates are based on the size of a structure. For residential homes up to 2,500 square feet the current fire service fee is $25 and under the proposed increase would go up to $37.50 a year. For residential homes 2,501 square feet and over, the proposal would raise the fire service fee from $30 to $45 a year. For commercial property under 2,500 square feet the fire service fee would increase from $50 to $75 a year, while for commercial property 2,501 to 3,750 square feet the fee would increase from $100 to $150. Commercial property fees would continue to escalate based on the size of a structure until they top out at buildings larger than 20,001 square feet. For those size commercial buildings the rate would increase from $750 to $1,125 a
Community News year. Marty Chapman, president of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce, said that businesses are concerned about the potential increase in the fire fee that they would have to pay. He said that the Chamber would like to see a full evaluation of the existing fire service system in the county to make sure that it is being run in the most efficient and effective manner. “We have eight fire departments, do we need that,” Chapman said. “Are they taking advantage of economies of scale? Our position is that we are asking for an evaluation of the entire system. How do you know what you need, if you don't know what you have?” Fire chiefs in Putnam County say that the increases are necessary in order to keep pace with the rising costs of fuel, workers' compensation insurance and equipment. If approved by the Commission, the fee increases would
bring the Fire Board an estimated $1.1 million a year. Currently, the fire service fees bring in more than $700,000 a year. Chapman said that the Chamber would like to see a thorough evaluation of where the existing money is going. “We all appreciate the volunteers who give their time as firefighters,” Chapman said. “This isn't about that. The Fire Board needs to be run like a business. They need to be cost effective in what they are doing. Everyone is doing more with less these days.” Last year, Haynes and fellow Commissioner Gary Tillis opposed the fire fee increase while Commissioner Steve Andes, who serves on the Fire Board, supported the increase. This time around, Haynes said, “I feel the new proposal is a lot more reasonable. I applaud the firefighters and fire board for their efforts to scale back their request. I have not made my mind up yet and as al-

basic teacher salary for up to 10 consecutive days. For longer assignments, they will earn 90 percent of the state's advanced salary, based on their experience. After 30 consecutive days, they will earn full advanced salary. School officials say they believe the pay raises will make Putnam County more attractive
to young teachers, thus increasing the quantity and quality of hirees. The pay for those who supervise extracurricular activities, such as coaches, will also see an increase in pay, although board members say it still doesn't fully compensate them for the time they put into their labors of love.
Their pay is based on a point system and the board voted to raise that pay by $10 a point. The board raised that pay by
the same amount in 2011. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.

Eating healthy can be an affordable alternative By Kevin Concannon USDA
Fresh fruits and vegetables? Key elements of a healthy diet, for sure. But many people of modest means, including those served by USDA’s nutrition assistance programs, wonder if they can afford to buy healthy foods like the wonderful fresh produce that can be found in summer abundance at America’s farmers’ markets. As USDA Undersecretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Services, I find that perception a source of concern because we work hard to encourage all Americans to make healthy food choices – particularly those par-
ticipating in USDA’s nutrition assistance programs, from kids in school to the more than 46 million people participating in USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Well, I’m pleased to say that a recent study by USDA’s Economic Research Service, “Are Healthy Foods Really More Expensive? It Depends on How You Measure the Price,” found that healthy food choices, like fresh fruits and vegetables, may be more affordable than people think. They found that while it is easy to buy “cheap” calories by using less-healthy foods, there are many healthy food choices that cost no more per portion than less nutritious foods.
Measured by the cost per portion, or per pound, grains, vegetables, fruit, and dairy foods are actually less expensive than most protein foods and foods high in saturated fat, added sugars, and/or sodium. This is great news for all those trying to get by with a limited food budget – like people receiving SNAP benefits. You don’t have to compromise on good nutrition just because money is tight. And just in time for summer. If you haven’t been to one of the nearly 7,200 farmers’ markets across the country, I encourage you to do so. Farmers’ markets offer shoppers a wonderful place to find the
fresh fruits and vegetables and other local produce so important to a healthy diet – particularly now when farmers’ markets are practically bursting with a bounty of summer produce. USDA strongly supports farmers’ markets. And the Food and Nutrition Service, which I oversee, has farmers’ market programs for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants, for seniors, and for WIC mothers to help provide healthy food for them and their children. We also encourage farmers markets to accept SNAP electronic benefit transfer (EBT) cards, which makes it easier for SNAP participants to make pur-
chases. Farmers markets are the ultimate win-win situation. They’re a win for customers because they can easily buy the freshest produce available. They’re a win for producers because they are a convenient local market for their products. They also provide a chance for customers and producers to meet face to face and build better understanding of community agriculture and what customers want. So visit a local farmers’ market today – you’re in for a treat. And remember, fresh fruits and vegetables are not only the healthy choice – they’re the affordable choice, too.
