The DSI Landfill in Hurricane ceased its acceptance of tankers of water tainted with MCHM over the weekend.

Tainted water dumping stopped

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com

The DSI Landfill in Hurricane stopped accepting tankers of water tainted with MCHM from Freedom Industries after the city of Hurricane served the company legal papers, Hurricane Mayor Scott Edwards said. “(On Friday) DSI was served legal papers advising them of the injunction that will be filed first thing Monday in the Circuit Court of Putnam County, which was required prior to the hearing,” Edwards posted on his Facebook page. “I'm hopeful that the Court will approve the injunction to keep this from continuing.”

Before the court had the chance to intervene, however, Waste Management announced Saturday it would cease taking any additional MCHM waste at the DSI Landfill in Hurricane.

School board considers calendar options

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com

The Putnam County Board of Education is considering two calendar options for the 2014-15 school year.

Both draft options have students starting the school year on Aug. 20 and have 180 full days of instruction.

The first option has school ending on June 4, and the second option has school ending on June 9. See page 11 for calendar options.

“While 180 days has always been our goal it has never been sanctioned,” said Dr. Cindy

Daniel, assistant superintendent curriculum and instruction. “Beginning with the 2014-15 school year it is a requirement that all students must have 180 days of instruction.”

The board held the first of two public hearings on the 2014-15 calendar Monday night. The second public hearing will be 7 p.m.

April 7 before the board adopts a calendar.

Randy Short, a Hurricane High School parent, expressed his concern about students getting enough instructional time for advanced placement course with the second semester beginning on Jan. 21, instead of following

Christmas break.

“I’m in favor of block scheduling, but the advanced placement class only meets for a half a year at a time,” he said during the public hearing. “The classes are twice as long, so for every day they are out of school that is two days of educational time missed for AP classes.

“Now we are looking at moving our calendar later and that is good for all the rest of the educational term, but for the AP classes it puts in a crimp.”

He mentioned the surrounding counties have an earlier start date, which helps AP students. He noted that the AP testing dates

are set nationally and are always scheduled for the first two weeks of May. “She’ll be 20 days short of instructional time when she takes the tests,” he said of his daughter.

“While Putnam County has had success with AP classes, one of the measuring sticks that Newsweek, etc., uses to measure schools is the successful completion of AP classes.

“They will already have had the testing when those make-up days are available for the school to use.”

Events Teays Valley VFD adds ambulance service, celebrates 50th anniversary highlight Civil War

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com

The Teays Valley Volunteer Fire Department is celebrating its 50th anniversary by continuing its community programs and enhancing its offerings.

“We are proud to be very involved in our community,” Cpt. John Smoot said. “Our goal is to provide a better service to the community.”

One new service the fire department will provide is a nonemergency ambulance transport service.

“We will be able to take people to doctors appointments and take them home from the hospital,” he said. “We should have it up and running in another month.”

The department has already received certification from the state for its three ambulances. It also has drivers and EMTs. “All of the ambulances passed inspection with flying colors,” he said. “We are waiting on our

Medicare and Medicaid numbers from the state. Once we have that we’ll be ready to go.”

The fire department received a two-year grant to help get the new endeavor up and running.

“We will work during the next two years to make our ambulance service as effective as pos-

sible,” Smoot said. “By the end of the second year of the grant, the goal is for it to be self-sustaining.”

For information on the new service people can call 304-7577075. Once the service is operaSEE VFD ON PAGE 8

Putnam County will host its annual Civil War Weekend on March 28-30.

This event actually commemorates two engagements of the Civil War separated by a space of several years - Battle of Scary Creek on July 17, 1861 and The Blue & Gray Skirmish at Hurricane Bridge on March 28, 1863.

Putnam County was actually a border county, in a border state. This meant that geographically the county was near the dividing line between the North and South. Neighbors, friends and even families were divided over the deep issues.

The area became a scene of wild excitement and great confusion. Issues were argued, tempers flared and young men left home to enlist for the cause they held to.

WEEKEND FROM PAGE 1 In 1861, little did any of them know that they were about to embark upon a horrible path of blood known as the American Civil War. At this date, both sides considered that the hostilities would soon be over, and some even considered it as nothing more than an adventure.

Follis talks about keys to life in changing world With 16 years in the US Air Force, MSgt Victor Follis manages a tri-state recruiting operation from his home in Hurricane.

"Our mission is air space and cyberspace," he told Putnam Rotarians on March 11. "Technology and education are one and the same. If you are not educationally savvy, you can't be technologically savvy in this ever-changing world we live in.

"In my high school we had a couple of Apple IIs in the library.

Now everyone has a smart phone.

And a tablet. And everyone has two or three computers around the house.

"Every job in the Air Force is attached to the associate's degree of applied science."

With 326,000 people on active duty, last year over 58,000 earned an associate degree and over 19,000 earned their bachelor's degree, he said.

Follis grew up in a small town outside the small town of Dodge City, Kansas.

"It was about a thousand people smaller than Hurricane," he said.

Follis said he was the first guy in his high school in over six years to join the Air Force.

MSgt Victor L. Follis, USAF spoke to Putnam Rotarians.

“I knew nothing about it,” he said. “I liked working on cars.

Working on engines. My dad took me to air shows. I just put the two of them together. I didn't know what else to do."

His first assignment in basic training in San Antonio was mechanical work on a C-5 Galaxy, a military transport aircraft a bit larger than a Boeing 747.

"I was working with this man who was rough around the edges, mad at everything,” Follis said.

“He handed me this valve. He said I want you to get on this lad-

Local artist in University of Ohio Proctorville Center show Scott Depot resident Susan Tschantz will be among the artists showing work at the University of Ohio Proctorville Center in March.

“Many Faces of Art, The Artists of the Renaissance Art Gallery” will run from now until April 29, 2014. Ohio University Proctorville Center is located at 111 Private Drive, Proctorville, OH 45669.

Photographer, painter and teacher, Tschantz uses a multitude of mediums. She is gaining a reputation for her fine art drawings in several mediums and is always exploring new mediums. Historic and even ancient mediums and techniques have always fascinated her, and compel her to keep expanding her knowledge and experience.

She teaches three classes each week on Wednesday, starting with a Fine Arts Class, “How Pictures Work” helping students un-

derstand all the fundamental of fine art and painting, “Getting to know the Pencil” a junior art class for school aged artist and an evening “Drawing Fundamentals” an adult drawing class.

All classes are open studio and continuing. Call Tschantz for more information. (304-5522006) The Renaissance Art Gallery is a local artist co-operative gallery.

It is run by 9 local artists, Fern Christian, Susan Tschantz, Janet Lester, Linda Helgason, Laura Moul, Pati Payne, Gary Lapelle, Ron Haeberle and Leona Mackey. Each of these artists will have 4 pieces on display at Ohio University, Proctorville Center.

der. I want you to change this valve.'

"I said, 'What is it?' He said, 'Shut up!'

"So I said, 'OK.' I got up on the ladder and I changed the valve.”

Follis said the two skipped lunch that day, and his rough, angry mentor took him "all the way down to the end of a runway. "'Do you know what you just did?' he asked.

"I changed a valve."

"He said, 'That's not what you just did. I want you to just sit here and wait.'

"We sat there and I see this big old C-5 Galaxy about a mile and a half on the other end of the runway. It lines up, and takes off straight over our heads.

"And he said, 'To you, that valve was just a piece of metal.

But what you did let this C-5 take off with 38 pallets of Red Cross and United Nations humanitarian aid for people starving in Somalia.'"

And airman Follis knew then that he was, "like the gear wheel symbol of Rotary," he said, a small but vital part in a huge and important operation.

In a few short years he was a quality control inspector for KC-

135s. And F-15 fighters. And the H-60 Black Hawks.

By age 25, the kid from Kansas was responsible for maintenance of a $600 million AWACS aircraft - the Airborne Warning and Control System, a world beyond the Apple IIs in the high school library back home.

And then he was an instructor teaching other airmen the skills he had mastered.

Before he moved to Teays Valley last May, Follis had been in more than 50 countries with the

Air Force.

"One country is like another," he said, "except they speak different languages and have a different kind of life.

"I wanted to get into recruiting where I could talk to people and tell them about all the good experiences I had had.

"The difference between work and pleasure is how you feel. And the most successful people I know -- it's not how much money they have in their wallet. It's how happy they are."

Huntington Area Food Bank helps fight hunger Nearly 5,500 people in Putnam County are hungry today and don’t know where their next meal will come from. Hunger is a genuine and often silent problem in the community, according to the Huntington Area Foodbank.

Residents can help make a difference by participating in Dine Out Putnam at Fireside Grille from between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Thursday, March 27. A portion of the night’s proceeds will benefit the Huntington Area Food Bank’s active efforts in Putnam County to provide food to hungry children, seniors and families.

Huntington Area Food Bank is a 501(c) 3 charity affiliated with Feeding America, the country’s largest hunger relief organization.

In Putnam County, they work with five agencies and last year provided 173,460 meals to hungry neighbors in need. The organization plans to do even more in 2014.

On a broader scale, Huntington Area Food Bank serves nearly 200 agencies in 17 West Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio counties and has a 4-star rating with Charity Navigator for its sound fiscal management. It is one of only two West Virginia charities and the only charity in our region to have re-

ceived this distinctive rating.

Children’s author, Sally Koch, said it best. “Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.”

Please take advantage of the opportunity that Fireside Grill is making available to benefit Huntington Area Food Bank recipients this March 27.

Enjoy a great meal knowing that you are giving a gift that will fight hunger right here in our own Putnam County home.

Commentary

West Virginia Legislative Update

By Del. Jim Butler House District 14 The “regular session” ended at midnight on March 9. In the final hours the House Leadership and the Senate Leadership, both of the same party, could not seem to come to agreements on some major bills. It appeared that time got away from them and some important bills were left on the table.

As a result the “Sudafed Bill” did not pass. Previously the Senate had passed a version that required a prescription for everyone. The House later passed a version that would require a prescription for anyone previously convicted of a drug crime. I would have supported that House version, but it became complicated when a new amendment was adopted that would allow individual counties to set their own rules. I voted against that version because I thought it would cause too much confusion, and punish law abiding citizens.

We did pass a pay raise of $1,000 per year for teachers on the last day. I voted yes. Another bill that passed on the last day was SB 317 which standardizes firearms regulations across the state. I voted yes on that one too.

A bill to put taxpayer money into a so called “Future Fund” passed.

I voted no on it because it does not make sense to divert money away from services to senior citizens, veterans, or roads and infrastructure etc., especially while we are borrowing money from the state’s rainy day fund just to pay our bills.

Additionally, saving money is a

good thing, but I would prefer that the saving accounts were in the accounts of individual citizens rather than in a state account to be spent by politicians.

We also passed dozens of lower profile bills on the last two days, mostly of an administrative nature.

Traditionally following the 60day regular session the Legislature goes into a special session, which lasts a few days, to finalize the state budget. This year however, apparently due to poor time management of the House Speaker and the Senate President, important bills to fill revenue gaps were not reported in time, therefore we will go into a special session to try to come to an agreement on these. Also on the subject of the budget, as I mentioned above, we are borrowing money from the state’s rainy day fund for the first time.

This is going to make voting for the final budget very difficult. I am still waiting to see the figures.

All together the Legislature passed about 200 bills by the end of the regular session. Sadly very few bills to help our economy, or to help attract new jobs, were taken up by the committee chairmen even though they were introduced early in the session.

The few that were targeted to job growth, like” Project Launchpad,” were narrowly crafted to certain areas of the state, and were highly regulated and restrictive.

We all need and appreciate your prayers as we make decisions on your behalf. It is an honor to serve you in the House of Delegates.

LANDFILL FROM PAGE 1 of Hurricane may have regarding the disposition of this material,” Lisa Kardell, director of public affairs for Waste Management, said in a prepared statement. “As always, Waste Management and the DSI Landfill are committed to being both a good corporate neighbor and community partner.”

Edwards said the announcement about DSI halting the tankers from Freedom Industries came about because of the efforts by city, county and state officials as well as residents.

“This is due to the overwhelming public outcry, the thousands of phone calls you made, the emails you sent, the Facebook messages you left for them, the comments you made, the help from our Senators, Delegates, Putnam County Commissioners and all the others that got behind us to stop this from continuing to enter our community,” Edwards said. “I thank everyone for their efforts as we stood up together.”

About five weeks ago the DSI Landfill received approval from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection to accept tankers of water tainted with MCHM from Freedom Industries.

“I’m irritated that the city did not get notified that this chemical was being dumped within city limits,” Edwards said. “There are landfills in this country that accept hazardous waste. This material should be considered hazardous and taken elsewhere.

“There are a lot of things we don’t know about this chemical.”

Amanda Marks, public affairs officer for Waste Management operations in West Virginia issued the following statement last week after officials made the discovery.

“We certainly recognize the sensitivities and want to assure everyone that the waste coming into DSI Landfill is non-haz-

ardous,” she said. “The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) approves the waste stream which comes into Waste Management's DSI Landfill and DSI Landfill is only accepting waste in accordance with its permit.

“The WVDEP has determined the waste in question that is currently being taken in at our DSI landfill is not by definition a hazardous product. We will continue to utilize best practices to ensure there is no potential harm to the environment or the community in which we operate.”

Edwards estimates that the landfill accepted about 50,000 gallons over the past five weeks.

“A lot of people have been calling saying they smelled black licorice,” he said. “They should have to report something like this to the city.”

Brian Donat, administrator for Putnam County, said that Frank Chapman, director of the Putnam County Office of Emergency Management, and commissioners worked with the city of Hurricane during the incident.

“We are continuing to examine options to make sure that is the case,” Donat said of the cessation

by DSI Landfill. “We want to make sure the residents are protected.”

According to a statement the DEP issued to Chapman, “The WVDEP Division of Water and Waste Management approved DSI’s request last month for a Minor Permit Modification to accept the wastewater. DSI can accept the material until October of 2014.

“Inspectors from the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection’s Division of Air Quality (DAQ) responded to “licorice” odor complaints on Wednesday, March 12, regarding the Disposal Services Inc. (DSI)

landfill on Route 34 in Hurricane,” Tom Aluise, spokesman for WVDEP wrote. “It was determined the odor was associated with the approved disposal of solidified wastewater that is being transferred by Freedom Industries from its Poca Blending facility in Nitro to DSI. A portion of the wastewater collected from the Freedom Industries’ spill site on the Kanawha River is being stored at Poca Blending and contains some amounts of MCHM. “The Division of Air Quality did not issue an odor violation to DSI as a result of its investigation.”

Aluise wrote that “before being deposited into the landfill, the wastewater is mixed with saw dust to create a solid material.

The DSI landfill is lined and equipped with a leak detection system and groundwater monitoring wells. All leachate collected from the landfill is sent to a wastewater treatment facility prior to discharge.”

Edwards said this worries him.

He is talking with the city’s chemist and state officials about testing the water at the wastewater treatment plant.

“All of our water from that plant goes into Hurricane Creek,” he said. “The Centers for Disease Control doesn’t show it as a hazardous waste material but look at what we just went through and that was in a river. How much is it diluted? What else don’t we know?”

On Jan. 9 the state issued a do not use water alert for 300,000 customers of West Virginia American Water Co. after about 7,500 gallons of MCHM leaked from a Freedom Industries tank into the Elk River.

The governor’s office quickly declared a state of emergency in the nine affected counties, including parts of Putnam County, for 50 days.

Heller of Teays Valley Christian is gamer of the week Teays Physical Therapy Center Inc. is pleased to present this week’s male gamer of the Week Award to Jace Heller of Teays Valley Christian School.

Teays Valley Christian Lions wrapped up their season with a loss to Greater Beckley Christian in the WVCAT championship game.

“We lost to them early in the season by nearly 50 points but this time our boys did everything we asked them to do,” Head Coach Jody Sowards said. “We executed our game plan and were only down two with a minute to play but just couldn’t get it done.”

Although they didn’t win, the senior guard was happy with the team’s success.

“It was a fun season,” Heller said. “Our goal from the beginning was to make it to the championship, which we did, and we played really well as a team in

Heller finished his career at TVCS with over 1,100 points and a lot of great memories.

“Getting to 1,000 points was cool but I never really wanted it to

be a big deal,” he said. “The most important thing was always doing whatever it takes to win. I felt like we played really well together and everyone played hard this season, it was never about individual

stats.” Sowards had high praises for his senior leader.

“Jace was a major asset for us this year,” he said. “He always brought intensity. He was a guy you could always go to and trust in tough situations. This wasn’t only true on the court but in the classroom and in life as well. He is always striving for excellence, is giving God the glory and is maintaining a positive attitude.

“Those attributes and how he conducted himself as a leader really stood out and made him an excellent captain for us throughout the course of the season.”

Heller has a 3.1 GPA and plans on attending Liberty University in the fall, either on-campus, or online.

His parents, Chris and Lisa Heller, are happy with either choice.

Poca manhandles Scott again to advance to states

By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com

Qualifying for the state basketball tournament is always an emotional experience, but this year’s Class AA regional victory over Scott was even more so for the Poca Dots.

Poca is 24-1, the only loss to top-seeded Robert C. Byrd. The Dots are seeded second and scheduled to play Fairmont Senior at 1 p.m. Wednesday. (Visit www.theputnamstandard.com to get results from that game.)

A mix of smiles and tears were on the faces of the players, family and friends who milled around the court Thursday night after the 64-22 victory, a testament to the year the Dots have experienced.

The jubilation of a return to the state tournament was tempered with the reality that starters Noah and Luke Frampton will make the trip without their father, who died of cancer in December. On the court, senior point guard Cam

Cottrill tore his ACL last month and participated in the postgame celebration on crutches.

“They’ve persevered the whole year,” said Coach Allen Osborne, his voice breaking with emotion.

“What these kids have done is a testament to the great character they have. They’re great kids, and it’s great to be their coach.

“I just hope we can go up there and play well in Charleston.”

Poca hasn’t lost since a 56-50 defeat Dec. 21 against Robert C. Byrd, and the Dots haven’t given up more than 48 points since a 69-59 victory Jan. 28 at Charleston Catholic. Every one of the team’s 24 victories has been by double digits.

Noah and Luke Frampton said the close nature of the team not only has been a key on the court, it helped them deal with their family tragedy. Jacob Payne, the only senior starter with Cottrill injured, is the Framptons’ cousin.

“It’s been rough off the court,” Noah said during the celebration.

Freshman Luke Frampton goes to the basket for two during the regional final game. He had 15 points (including a breakaway dunk).

“We pray every day, we trust each other. This feels awesome. I want to do it for the Lord, do it for my Dad, do it for everybody in that locker room.”

Luke added, “They’re like brothers. They’re with us every day. It’s like a family.”

Those relationships have helped the team, featuring fresh-

Cuffee had 10 points in the game. men Luke Frampton and Elijah Cuffee, juniors Matt Chandler, Noah Frampton and Christian Buckley, senior Payne, and sophomore Kaden Meeks, gel so quickly. The 16 assists against Scott actually was slightly below average on a team that seems to have a sixth sense about where teammates will be.

Chandler scored 18 points against Scott, with Luke Frampton adding 15 (including a breakaway dunk) and Cuffee 10 points and six assists. Meeks had nine off the bench.

“It just feels like once we get going we can’t be stopped,” Chandler said. “When we get a good thing going, we go even harder.”

Poca beat the Skyhawks by 21 points at Scott and by 29 in January at Poca.

“We never took anyone lightly this year,” Chandler emphasized.

“We don’t even take it lightly at practice.”

Although he won’t take the Civic Center floor this week, Cottrill continues to make an impact on the team. He hangs out with Osborne, who despite 36 years as a head coach asks the student’s advice.

“He asks me for my input,” Cottrill said, “and I say what he said is good with me.”

After a pause, Cottrill added with a smile, “The only thing I tell him is I got down on the floor and got the loose balls, so I want to see someone else doing that.”

A first-round victory would advance the Dots into a semifinal matchup with either Westside or Bridgeport at 1 p.m. Friday.

The Poca boys defeated Scott 64-22 to win the regional championship. The Dots played Fairmont Senior at 1 p.m.

Wednesday during the first round of the state tournament.

Redskins win, get No. 7 seed in state tournament

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com

Hurricane turned up the pressure defensively to erase an 11point deficit and beat Spring Valley to clinch a second consecutive trip to the state tournament for the first time in school history.

“It was a back-and-forth game all night,” senior Ace Estep said.

“At the end it was a run for the money, and we came out on top.”

The Redskins beat the Timberwolves 81-80 in the regional final game on March 11, the final score coming after Spring Valley hit a 3pointer at the buzzer.

Hurricane was the No. 7 seed and played No. 2 South Charleston 11:15 a.m. Wednesday in the first round of the state tournament. The winner advances to play the winner from No. 3 Hedgesville vs. No. 6 Parkersburg South at 9 p.m. Friday.

(Visit www.theputnamstandard.com for results of the firstround game.)

The Region 4 co-final game featured five lead changes in the first half. Hurricane dominated the first quarter leading 21-16 at the end of the first. Spring Valley took over in the second quarter and led 40-34 at the half.

“We stopped playing defense in the second quarter and let them get back in the game,” Estep said. “If you leave them open they will hit their shots.”

Senior Trey Dawson added, “They had a lot more intensity than we did in the first half. They shot the ball amazingly well. They are a tough team.”

In the second half the Timberwolves continued to be aggressive and hit their shots. Hurricane trailed 51-40 with 4:12 left in the third quarter, but a timeout and defensive switch turned the game in Hurricane’s favor.

“We were down 11 points and we knew we had to pick it up or it would be over,” senior Henry Sorsaia said.

Sorsaia hit some key baskets in the first three minutes of the third quarter to keep the Redskins within reach. J.T. Rogoszewski said that Sorsaia and Dawson were “game changers” for Hurri-

“Henry brought us back in the game,” he said. “Trey also made some key plays by passing the ball around and hitting his shots.

They both were game changers for us tonight.”

Coach Lance Sutherland said the team’s knowledge about basketball kept them in the game even when they were down.

“We are a basketball smart team, most of the time,” he said.

“When we went down by 11 the players kept their head in the game. The trap defense changed the game.”

Midway through the third quarter, on the call by Dawson during a timeout, the Redskins executed a zone defense with a trap to get back in the game.

Dawson and Garrett DeFries set the trap at the top and got Spring Valley to turn the ball over.

The duo took turns feeding the ball to Sorsaia and Rogoszewski.

“The zone trap really helped us a lot,” DeFries said. “I don’t think they were ready for that.”

DeFries and Dawson also got a couple of fast breaks of their own to help propel Hurricane ahead by five points with 5:30 left in the fourth.

“We were a lot more aggressive in the second half,” DeFries said.

“It was a fast-paced game.”

The teams traded baskets, and with a couple missed shots by Hurricane, Spring Valley tied the score 73-73 with 2:10 left. A 3pointer and free throws by Daw-

son and Rogoszewki put Hurricane ahead and secured the victory, however.

“I give credit to all of the players,” Dawson said. “We work our butts off every day and that is what we did in the second half.

We moved the ball around, took care of it and didn’t force things.

We knew we still had timeouts if we needed to use them.”

Sorsaia led the Redskins with 25 points in the game, followed

by Dawson with 20, Rogoszewski with 14 and DeFries with 12.

Estep said the team will prac-

“We’ll work on our defense in the next week,” he said. “We have to get out on the shooters and be more aggressive.”

DeFries echoed Estep adding, “We will definitely work on defense, use our feet more and drive to the basket and kick it out for threes.”

Sorsaia said last year’s experi-

ence will help.

“We know what it is like to play at the Civic Center and will be better prepared,” he said.

Sutherland said the team’s goal for this year is to get past the first round.

“The past two games against Winfield and Spring Valley have prepared us for the state tournament,” he said. “The team knows what they have to do in order to win.”

The Hurricane Redskins defeated Spring Valley 81-80 to capture the regional title championship. The team played South Charleston on Wednesday in the first round of the state tournament.

Two Winfield football players sign to play at college level

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com

Two Winfield High School football players have committed to play at the college level.

Chris Turner was invited to play at Shepherd University in West Virginia, and Toby Show to Lindsey Wilson College in Kentucky.

Coach Craig Snyder was excited about the players having a chance to play beyond high school.

“It is exciting when we have players go on to play at the next level,” Snyder said. “They both always worked hard to get better. I know they will continue to do that at the next level.”

Turner caught 35 passes for 434 yards and five touchdowns in his

senior year. He also had 48 carries for 379 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Turner was named first team All Mountain State Athletic Conference, first Team All-Kanawha Valley and Special Honorable Mention All-State.

Show was a three-year starter at quarterback for Winfield and one of the football team captains.

Twice he broke the school record for passing yards in a season. His senior year he was 134-for-218 passing for 1,739 yards 16 touchdowns and eight interceptions.

Show was excited about signing to play with Lindsey Wilson College.

“It’s a blessing to be able to do something I’ve dreamed about since I was 7,” he said. “I had a couple of choices but after visit-

ing several college campuses I decided Lindsey was the best option for me.

“It's a big relief to know where I’ll spend the next four years and what I’ll be doing.” Show said he knows he’ll have to compete in order to get a starting position, but he is ready and prepared.

“In the MSAC we played great competition each week,” he said.

“The competition we played will help me at the college level.”

Principal Bruce McGrew was proud of the accomplished athletes.

“On behalf of the school we are very proud of our athletes’ ability to get an education and continue to play football,” he said. “Congratulations and we wish you the best of luck.”

and fitness challenge program.

“For every 10 pounds our department loses, 30 meals are donated to the obese and overweight children,” he said.

“Thus far there are three people who have lost 10 pounds each and we have others who are on the brink of losing their 10 pounds.”

The weight-loss program was specially tailored for the Teays Valley VFD. It requires the firefighters to do about 30-minutes of cardio as well as complete the “circuit.” The circuit involves a firefighter completing tasks similar to what they would do out on a field. Some of the tasks include: hose drag, hose pull, sledge swings, tire flips and dummy drag.

“The purpose of the program is to make sure firefighters don’t get exhausted on the job,” Smoot

said. “The Tri-County YMCA did the baseline assessment for the fire department and helps monitor progress.”

One group the fire department relies on heavily for funding and help with programs is its auxiliary.

“Our auxiliary hosts several fund-raising events throughout the year for us,” he said. “We try to be self sufficient.”

The department receives some money from the county, but more is needed in order to better serve the community. This past weekend the auxiliary hosted an open house where children and their parents enjoyed playing with “Sparky,” touring fire trucks, making crafts and eating hotdogs and popcorn.

“Sparky is a fire prevention tool we use to teach kids about fire safety,” Smoot said. “There

The Teays Valley VFD operates with a mixture of paid firefighters as well as volunteers.

“We have 18 part-time employees and 22 volunteers,” he said. “We respond to about 1,000 to 1,500 calls a year and are always looking for new members.”

To keep firefighters healthy and in good shape, the department implemented a mandatory physical fitness program in November for its part-time firefighters.

“If our firefighters are physically fit then they’ll be able to perform the tasks they need to in an emergency,” he said. “We would love it if the community got involved in the program to help our children.”

The fire department is working with Visalus and its weight-loss

Other upcoming events the auxiliary will host include a benefit golf tournament on April 30 at Little Creek Golf Course in South Charleston, a car show in July, and a community open house in October. All proceeds benefit the community efforts of the fire department.

The fire department is always looking for area businesses and individuals to sponsor any of these events.

For the golf tournament there are three different sponsorship levels, a $125, $500 and $1,000

sponsor.

The $125 sponsorship includes hole sponsorship sign at a tee box during the tournament.

The $500 sponsorship includes hole-in-one sponsorship sign, name on golf tournament handouts and advertisements and a sign at the registration table. The $1,000 sponsorship includes hole-in-one sponsorship sign, registration for one team, company name on golf tournament handouts and advertisements and a sign at the registration table For information on the golf tournament or any other Teays Valley VFD program call 304757-7075.

Cpt. John Smoot of Teays Valley Volunteer Fire Department completes the circuit dummy drag that is part of the physical fitness program.

Jenny Murray from V 100 recently visited Winfield United Methodist Church preschool to record the children reciting the pledge of allegiance for the radio show. Winfield UMC Preschool is a private nonprofit school located behind McDonalds. For more information contact the school at 304-586-3795.

Christian's Sports Beat: Safe and sound sporting events

By: Christian Deiss

When you are at a sporting event, the last thing you want to worry about is not feeling protected or safe. There are a few big events in West Virginia that are carefully planned to make sure that fans have a good time and

feel secure.

The West Virginia State Police on many occasions help event coordinators plan how to handle the large crowds attending games. I wanted to know how security is handled at sporting events so I contacted Lt. Michael Baylous of Hurricane and Public Information Officer for the West Virginia State Police, “Since you have such a large number of people at most events we assist with and most of them are good people, but there are some people that cause problems and they are the ones who make it hard for everyone else to enjoy themselves.” Baylous works on the sidelines at football games in Morgantown and Huntington during WVU and Marshall games.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

Cheesy Ham and Hash Brown Casserole Ingredients 1 (32 ounce) package frozen hash brown potatoes 8 ounces cooked, diced ham 2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of potato soup 1 (16 ounce) container sour cream 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese

Besides protecting the coach at all times, the trooper that travels with the team also works with local authorities in whatever city the team is in to help coordinate logistics.” In many cases the trooper that is with the coach has that responsibility throughout the season and sometimes for many seasons, so the trooper and coach are very familiar with each other.

Since I’m a runner, I was very upset with what happened at last year’s Boston Marathon when people were killed and injured by bombs placed near the finish line. When I compete in big running events I want to feel safe and I want to make sure my par-

ents are also safe. So I asked Baylous if the State Police has talked about adding security at the larger running events across West Virginia, “We haven’t been approached yet to help with security but we reviewed the Boston tragedy to learn from what happened there. Our planning and research section always is looking at ways we can perform our job better and one way is to observe how other law enforcement agencies handle challenging situations.”

Baylous and his wife, Becky, have four children, Max, Lilly, Abe and Ruth. He is a graduate of both WVU and Marshall, but made sure I knew that his first love were the Mountaineers.

There is a lot of planning that goes into sporting events that fans never know about and really don’t need to know. Baylous explained how the State Police gets involved from the beginning, “We currently have contracts with West Virginia and Marshall Universities, in-which we work at all of their football games and some of their basketball games.

University officials tell us where the need is and then we decide what the staff should be and where they should be deployed.

We look at how big a crowd is going to be at the game and how big a contest it is, like a WVU versus Marshall game, to decide how many troopers we send to the event.” Baylous, is a 20-year veteran of the State Police and has worked over 50 games through his time on the force.

A fan came out of the stands and onto the court at a recent college basketball game in California and confronted the visiting coach. In that instance, two of the coach’s players separated the fan from the coach and persuaded him to return to his seat.

The fan was later arrested for his behavior. I think if a police officer had been around the coach, the situation would’ve been solved instantly. Baylous agreed, “One reason is just to keep them safe just in case somebody tries to come on the field or court like

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin highlighted the importance of preserving West Virginia’s history when he presented $410,409 in Records Management and Preservation Board grant funds and $79,950 in survey and planning grant funds.

One of those grants went to the Putnam County Commission.

The commission received a Records Management and Preservation Board Grant in the amount of $13,636 to scan and index deed books in the county clerk’s office; to scan and index map cards, personal property assessment, and business forms in the assessor’s office, and to purchase a high-volume, cross-cut shredder to dispose of confidential records that have exceeded the retention requirement in the circuit clerk’s office.

The Records Management and

Preservation Board was created by the West Virginia Legislature in 2000 to develop a system of records management and preservation for county governments.

Following a review of application submissions, the Board recommended projects to improve management, storage conditions, access, and preservation of public records held in county offices.

Survey and planning grants are for projects involving architectural and archaeological surveys; preparation of National Register of Historic Places nominations; heritage education programs relating to preservation activities; pre-development activities; comprehensive planning documents; and development projects.

Local band Under Surveillance releases new CD A band with strong local roots has released a new CD and plans to play several local venues in the upcoming months.

Under Surveillance is a 1980s influenced, self-described “power pop” band. The group recently released “Between the Lines” featuring core members Philip Hatfield (songwriter/guitarist) and Randy Brown (drummer), with new vocalist John Mullins and bassist Phil “X” Crace.

Hatfield, a Hurricane resident, said the band has its origins in the early 1980s, with Brown and Hatfield going back to the late ’70s, and those two formerly playing with Crace as part of the band The Score.

Hatfield said critics are comparing “Between the Lines” to

groups like The Replacements, Cheap Trick, The Knack and The Shoes. According to Rudy Pannuci of Pop Cult, “The musicianship is crisp and punchy throughout ... One of the best things about ‘Between the Lines is that it doesn’t sound contemporary. This CD has more of a timeless quality...”

Also, Lynne Sandy, former vocalist/guitarist from 1980s new wave powerhouse The Defectors, described Under Surveillance as a “determined and well-rehearsed band” with poignant lyrics, hard driving guitar riffs and thumping rhythm section, and vocal harmonies “that work together to produce their signature sound.”

The CD is available on all

major digital distribution networks including iTunes, Spotify, Amazon MP3, Google Play, Xbox Music, Rhapsody, iHeartRadio and Shazam Digital.

Locally the CD can be purchased for $12 at Budget Tapes and Records in Kanawha City and at the Fret-n-Fiddle in St. Albans.

For information on live performances or other details on the band, check out their Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/w vundersurveillance Hatfield, Brown and Crace are lifelong friends, and all have played in bands over the past three decades.

Under Surveillance released a new CD and plans to play at several local venues in the coming months.

Both options have built in seven holidays, one Election Day, four continuing education days, six outside school environment days and two teacher prep days The calendars also give an entire week off at Thanksgiving, two weeks at Christmas and a week for spring break.

Hatfield said Putnam County schools used to have a short week at Thanksgiving but absentee rates were high.

“People think it is because of hunting season, but a lot of people go out of town the week of Thanksgiving,” he said noting if the school needs to it can use these days for missed days of school.

Daniel said that thus far this year students have missed 19 days, four of those due to the water incident.

“This year we have been able to capture 10 of those days,” she said.

Another option the school has at its disposal is “banked hours.”

Putnam County students have a longer school day than what is mandated by the state. It can use those banked hours to make up for early dismissals or a two-hour delay.

“We can’t use the banked time for full days missed days,” Hatfield said.

With the calendar options the school board has the ability to extend the school year into July if it needs to, he said.

“But I don't anticipate we will have to do that,” he said.

Another item the school has to take into consideration is setting of graduation dates for each high school a year in advance.

“This is a complex issue,” Hatfield said. “We have to consider the football and band camps in early August. We try to look at them all and to strike a balance and come up with the best option we can.”

Option 1 has school starting Aug. 20 for students and ending June 4. Any make-up days due to weather would come in June

CALENDAR FROM PAGE 1 said he understood Short’s comments and concerns.

“We certainly will take those into consideration, and that is exactly what this public hearing is for,” he said. “As a starting point the board has been given these two options but they are just options at this point so all things can be considered.”

Daniel echoed Hatfield’s comments, adding that the central office considered AP classes in the development of the calendar.

“We also provide AP teachers for tutoring sessions prior to the test dates,” she said. “We pay our teachers to stay and help students.”

Daniel presented the two calendar options to the school board and explained the restrictions and the differences.

The first option has all of the Outside of School Environment (OSE) days at the end of the school year, while the second option has the OSE days starting in March, she said.

The OSE days, as well as the teacher prep days, can be used to make up school in the case of inclement weather, but the calendar no longer is allowed to provide in-school education (ISE) days as it did in the past. This means there will be fewer built-in days for making up school, and in situations like this year, the students and staff may have to come to school long past the proposed ending date.

“We are also required to have a faculty senate day every 45 days of instruction,” Daniel said.

“We’ve built those into some of our continuing education days.”

She also explained that the employment window was extended to help the school system make up snow days or other missed days.

“The window has been extended from 43 to 48 weeks,” she said.

Option 2 has school starting Aug. 20 for students and ending June 9. The school would have three OSE days in the spring it can use as make-up days.

He lost his battle with cancer in February 2013.

Winfield’s upset attempt at Huntington falls short

By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com

HUNTINGTON – Winfield Coach Pat McGinnis knew everything would have to go perfectly for his team to upset Huntington and earn a berth in the 2014 state tournament.

While the Generals battled and kept the game close into the third quarter, the Highlanders’ size and strength inside – combined with some outstanding shooting – proved too much in the Region 4 co-final. Huntington dominated the boards March 11 and pulled away for a 81-62 victory.

The Generals (14-11) never led and the last tie was 9-9 with 4:25 left in the first quarter after Bear Bellomy hit a 3-pointer. But Winfield kept it close in the opening half, thanks in large part to three 3-pointers from senior Taylor Hearn.

After Winfield fell behind 30-20 in the second quarter the Generals went on an 8-0 run of their own with Heath Diehl driving in for a basket, Hearn hitting a 3pointer and Cole Schoolcraft converting a conventional three-point play. The deficit was cut to four three more times in the second quarter, but that was as close as Winfield would get.

Huntington (20-4) went on an 11-0 run midway through the third quarter that made the score 58-43 and removed any hopes of an upset.

Huntington hit nine 3-pointers in the game.

“They never really shot like that

Heath Diehl started the regional final game against Huntington High School. He is expected to play a key role on next year’s team. before,” said senior Zach Fisher, who had more than 1,000 points in his career. “I don’t think anyone expected that.”

Huntington beat Winfield 6257 earlier in the season, but this was a different Highlanders’ team.

“They played this time,” McGinnis said. “I don’t think they played to their potential last time, and they did tonight. Their athleticism was just overwhelming.”

Despite the outcome, the veteran coach was pleased with his team’s effort. Junior Bellomy scored 21 points, and Fisher had 18 in his final high school game.

It also marked the final basketball appearance for fellow seniors Schoolcraft, Hearn, Toby Show and Brandon Wright.

“I’m proud of our team,” McGinnis said. “With the kids we had, I think we overachieved. This

senior group worked hard. They really came together. Their chemistry was good.

“They played hard tonight. Late in the game our legs just left us.”

Fisher added, “I think we played hard and stayed together the whole season. We were in pretty much every game.”

Winfield’s road to the state tournament was made much tougher with an overtime loss to Hurricane in the sectional final, which let the Redskins stay home (and beat Spring Valley) while the Generals played at No. 3 Huntington.

The Highlanders dominated on the boards, out-rebounding the smaller Generals 42-17.

Chancellor Wooding scored 25 points, while on the inside Arick Nicks had 19 points and 11 rebounds.

Now the focus turns to next season, with Bellomy and Diehl expected to step into key roles.

Diehl started the regional final and has drawn praise from McGinnis for playing much bigger than his 5-foot-8, 140-pound frame would lead opponents to believe.

“I worked really hard in the offseason and was feeling good,” Diehl said. “I was getting some time at the beginning but I started playing JV. I thought it could help me this varsity season.

Junior Bear Bellomy puts the ball in the basket for two of his 21 points.

Senior Zach Fisher, who had more than 1,000 points in his career, drives to the basket.

I came out with more confidence, and Coach McGinnis had more confidence in me, too.”

Diehl and Bellomy said they will try to show the same leadership to this year’s underclassmen that they got from Fisher, School-

craft, Hearn, Show and Wright.

“All those players really stepped up, stuck together,” Bellomy said of what he’s learned from the seniors. “We’ve just got to follow that up. The younger kids are going to have to step up and work hard.”
