A Journey "Along the Kanawha River" By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

BUFFALO - A trip back through time on the Kanawha River is now reality. Joseph Phillips, an AmeriCorps Vista Volunteer and former member of the Rivers to Ridges Heritage Trail released a pictorial history book of the area river. He finished the book â&#x20AC;&#x153;Along the Kanawha River" with the help of local historical groups, area residents, state archives and Arcadia Publications.

"It's great to get families together and to see people that haven't seen each other in a while, plus it's always great to see the kids playing all day and having a good time."

WINFIELD - Cecil Kimble will soon put on his EMS uniform for the last time. The Putnam County EMS Director announced his retirement just days ago. County commissioners approved the hiring of John Dearnell, a longtime member of the Charleston Ambulance Service and Fire Department. The decision to leave Putnam EMS after 30 years was a tough one, said Kimble. "I just think it's time for me to step aside and let someone else

of experience from Charleston to fill Kimble's position. Since Monday, the two men have met county leaders and walked through the ins and outs of the EMS Department. "I'm still learning and absorbing info. - it's going to be a learning process," Dearnell said. The new director will lead 30 full-time and 20 part-time staff members. He will assist crews as they cover 350-square miles across Putnam County. It's a job he's ready for. "It's a good feeling to know the department is growing, and I SEE EMS ON PAGE 4

After receiving the cash, he fled on foot in an unknown direction. The suspect is described as approximately 150 pounds and 5feet-8-inches tall. According to surveillance, the alleged man wore a wig and fake facial hair to conceal his identity. As of press time Friday afternoon, troopers were continuing their interviews and investigation into the case.

Get Your Workout Partner Today! Does having a workout partner make a difference? It definitely can be a factor in reaching your fitness goals. Having a partner on your fitness journey can help you stick to a plan for many reasons: • Working out with a partner can make a 30 minute weight workout or a 90 minute walk go by much faster. When alone, it is too easy to watch the clock. With a partner you push one another and can look forward to that socialization. • With a partner, it is less likely to cancel a workout session. A partner provides accountability and helps push you toward completing the workout instead of canceling and staying home. • Scheduling can be a big problem when it comes to making time for a workout. Having a partner can help by perhaps sharing sitters when needed or even taking turns cooking for one another, planning meals,

and carpooling. • Having an objective partner to provide feedback can be a great boost to self-esteem. Plus, it will help with reminding one another of the goals achieved and how much progress has been made. • CELEBRATE! What better way to recognize hard work and success than with a partner? Take time to celebrate the achievements made with your partner – whether it be a new outfit or dinner. Finding the right partner is important so make sure that you find a positive, strong partner that will have the right fitness goals in mind. It’s important stuff! Tri-County YMCA is non-profit organization located in Scott Depot and has served the Putnam County area since 1991. We offer a variety of fitness classes, programs and activities for individuals and families of all ages. For more information, please call 304-757-0016 or visit us online at www.tri-countyymca.org.

lieve when, as the atheist was dying said ‘’OH GOD’’. We have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace; too proud to pray to the God that made us. By Abraham Lincoln March 30th 1863, in a Washington D.C speech proclaiming a national prayer day. You know, I have always said that history repeats itself and there is nothing new under the sun - and this is true. Each life’s generation lives thru turbulent times, thinking the worst is to come to them in their time, but then God lets it roll on into another year, another decade, another history. Think of things that have withstood the times. For one, our guide-book the BIBLE – it has never been completely destroyed. Many a man it has cost his life, but it is still being printed today. We will survive - we always do, because the majority of the

people believe there is a God. Peace in the world will never be. Peace for you can only be thru trust. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Philippians 2:13 I am sure other nations are closely watching this episode of our government and waiting to see the outcome - which we are not setting a good example with all this dissention. It shows weakness of the leadership of our nation! Do all things without murmurings and disputing. Philippians 2:14 It seems the book of Philippians was used most in this column. But you see it says what God intended for me to write, so live your life daily proclaiming God as your LEADER, to have PEACE with yourself although the world will never be completely at rest. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 Life is God’s novel; let Him write it – Isaac B. Singer Prayer: God you know and see all, help our Nation this day. Amen.

ied before," Phillips said. "I like to learn about the past, and it's fun and rewarding to tell the story to other people." The 27-year-old author continued, "This book epitomizes research and hearing and telling stories to people." Rivers to Ridges Project Coordinator Lowell Wilks is proud of Phillips. "Having worked with various AmeriCorps programs, I have come to expect a high level of performance from its members, and Joseph fulfilled every expectation - he is very self-motivated and,

from day one, took off running with a list of projects," he said. "We are going to miss him a lot.” Now, that the book is published, and Phillips has finished his tour with Rivers to Ridges, he plans to continue pursuing his passion: working with the U.S. National Park Service. "Along the Kanawha River" can be purchased at the Buffalo Welcome Center, various bookstores and through www.arcadiapublishing.com/9780738599458/Alo ng-the-Kanawha-River. The book will also be available at the Buffalo Octoberfest.

grades and equipment to strengthen his crews. However, the most important piece of equipment is not what money buys, he said. "Yes, all that equipment helps you do the job, but the most important equipment on the truck is the hands, ears and mouth," Kimble explained. Dearnell agreed. "It's amazing what you can accomplish just by talking to someone," he said. Under the October sky, Kimble walked toward his department's most recent addition. The two shook hands. Then he got into a new ambulance. New Director Dearnell and Deputy Director Frank Stover watched Kimble get into the truck. The words "Putnam County

EMS" tattooed the sides and front of the rig. "This will go to Hurricane and help us tremendously," Stover said. "It's 4-wheel-drive, so it'll help us gain access to people who live in hollows and up hills." He continued while Kimble parked the new ride, "We have just a few more things to do to it and it should be on the road by Thursday." After he stepped down from the ambulance, Kimble looked toward Stover, Dearnell and the Putnam County EMS building. "I'd like to think we've made a difference in a lot of people here," he said. "There's a lot of camaraderie that goes along with this job and I'm going to miss that the most." Kimble will put on his uniform for the last time by January, after he finishes training Dearnell.

Apple-Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

By Mary Jane “A PEACEFUL WORLD” Thought for the week: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as light in the world. Philippians 2:15 (KJV) Today (October 1), the entire news alert is about shutting down the government, as if this is any solution. This is just adding fuel to the fire. We sit here and listen like pebbles in a stream, while the water rolls over us continually. Greed is defined as the selfish desire to acquire more than one needs, each one in office wants to be the ruler, to make a name for himself no matter the cost to the people. The simple problem is they have left out God in this nation what this country was formed on. It is not popular to admit you believe there is a supreme being who runs all things. We only be-

"You don't do it for the money you do it because you want to do it," Dearnell said. Kimble responded, "Not everyone is cut out for this. People call us during the lowest times of their life." "Yes," added Dearnell. "You're there to correct chaos and fix what's going on, and some people just can't deal with that stress." The new director continued, "But once you get going in this, it gets in your blood and sticks there."

Christian's Sports Beat: A Soccer Game’s Unsung Hero

By: Christian Deiss

HUNTINGTON, WV – When you go to a soccer game you usually don’t notice an important part of the game, the ball boys. Recently, I was a ball boy for the Marshall University Thundering Herd Men’s Soccer game against the 12th ranked New Mexico Lobos at the Veterans Memorial Field in Huntington. My position for the 90-minute match was behind the net, retrieving missed shots. Before the contest I talked with the head referee for the game, Andrew Chapin of Fairfax, Virginia. I asked him the importance of ball boys, “They are important because when the

Christian serving as a soccer ball boy behind the net at Veterans Memorial Soccer Field in Huntington. Courtesy photo ball goes out of play, the players want to keep the game going for the enjoyment of the spectators and so that everyone is not just standing around.” There are six ball boys per game, two on each sideline and one behind each net. Soccer is a game that almost never stops, except for such things like penalties and out of bounds plays and Chapin told me that’s why a ball boy helps keep the game’s flow going, “The overall enjoyment of the game depends on the ball being in play and when the ball is in play, less problems occur because the players aren’t

chasing after the ball and so it’s important that all of the ball boys retrieve the ball quickly and get it back in the game.” All of the ball boys the night I helped were my teammates on the West Virginia Soccer Club’s U10 Boys Rowdies. My Rowdies Coach Thomas Olivier is also the Assistant Men’s Herd Soccer Coach and knew all of us would take the responsibility seriously, “If ball boys don’t pay attention, we can’t get the ball back in quickly. For example in our game against New Mexico, when it was 2 -1 against us, we wanted to play

Courtesy photo quickly and we felt we were starting to get some momentum going and if we have to wait because the ball boys are not paying attention and getting the ball back in, then it doesn’t allow us to play upbeat and keep attacking the other team.” Marshall lost the match to nationally ranked New Mexico 3 – 1. Since my ball boy position was behind the Marshall net in the first half I got to see two of New Mexico’s goals, up close and per-

sonal. I was focused on my ball boy responsibilities which coach Olivier was glad to hear, “A ball boy gets to see that every part of a contest is important. For a game to occur in a fun to play and watch fashion, not all of the action is on the field.” I recommend any young soccer player, who gets a chance to be a ball boy to do it and have fun with the opportunity.

School District Saves Money, Reduces Environmental Footprint October is Energy Awareness Month, and as the nation celebrates, Putnam County Schools is having a celebration of its own — having saved more than $2.8 Million through an innovative energy conservation program. The $2.8 Million savings equals 18 percent of Putnam’s expected energy costs without the program. In environmental terms, Putnam County savings equal 18,034 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions being prevented, or 3237 autos off the highway annually or over 461,276 tree seedlings planted and grown in ten years. “It is particularly appropriate to celebrate our savings this month,” said Coordinator of Energy Education and Safety Manager, Gary Sigman, Jr. “Energy Awareness Month is all about teaching people to make good decisions about the energy they use, and that’s what our program does: today, every person on our staff uses energy as needed and is careful to never waste energy. By implementing best practices for energy use throughout our system, we create savings, enhance the learning environment and retain dollars for education — it’s the right thing to

do.” The successful cost-saving program is implemented through a partnership with Cenergistic, the nation’s leading organizational behavior-based conservation company whose energy management program has saved more than $3.2 billion for educational and complex organizations. Using Cenergistic’s process, Putnam County Schools has built a customized and sustainable energy conservation program that reduces consumption of electricity, natural gas, fuel oil and water through changes in organizational and human behavior. Sigman serves as Energy Specialist for Putnam County Schools. He receives intensive

training from Cenergistic energy consultants to determine and implement energy-saving techniques throughout the system. He conducts energy audits to ensure that students, staff and faculty are comfortable during class time and scheduled activities, and that energy is used only as necessary. Cenergistic’s conservation experts work closely with him to audit buildings and train personnel to control energy use wherever possible. Every energy-using item in the system — including all heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, food service facilities, athletic facilities, offices and classrooms, auditoriums, cafeterias, information technology, and computer labs — receives ongoing evaluation for the best,

most efficient use of energy while ensuring that the learning environment is at its best. All costs of the Cenergistic program come from the existing utility budget, with savings guaranteed to more than pay for the program. Additional savings can be reserved for other parts

of the budget. For the past five years, Cenergistic has earned national recognition from the United States Environmental Protection Agency, including the ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year – Sustained Excellence Award in 2011, 2012 and 2013.

Phillips Steps Down from BOE Putnam County Board of Education member Deborah Phillips is leaving her seat on the Board after twelve years of service, citing career opportunities as her reason for stepping down. Phillips served on the Putnam Board of Education during a productive and progressive era when the district underwent great change. In 2009, voters approved a bond that allowed the Board to replace outdated facilities, build auxiliary gymnasiums, and rid the district of portable classrooms. Additionally, they have renovated aging facilities, purchased property for future construction, embarked on a massive technology improvement program, cre-

ated a New Tech high school, and consistently ranked at the top of the state in student achievement. Phillips credits much of the district's success to the Putnam community, including school personnel and families. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The staff, faculty and support personnel have been an integral part of our success and are to be commended on their dedication," she said. "The wonderful people of our county and our hardworking students have helped us reach our goals. Without the children and their parents the dream of a top quality school system would not have been possible.â&#x20AC;? Phillips leaves her position

with a feeling of great accomplishment and pride: "It has been an honor to work with people like the late Patty Thornton as well as Dr. Sam Sentelle, Jack Coyner, Dr. Craig Spicer and William Legg. The facility improvements and academic accomplishments have been recognized by the voters of Putnam County as they have elected a cohesive group of individuals with many talents to lead their school system," she states in a letter to Superintendent Chuck Hatfield. Phillips' resignation was final on Sept. 30, after which the Board will appoint a replacement to fill her unexpired term which ends in June, 2014.

Governor Tomblin, Secretary Thompson, and Woody Williams dedicate New Memorial at State Veterans Cemetery Gold Star Families Memorial Monument is first in the nation CHARLESTON, WV - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin, Department of Veterans Assistance Secretary Rick Thompson, and Medal of Honor recipient Hershel "Woody" Williams today dedicated the Gold Star Families Memorial Monument at the Donel C. Kinnard Memorial State Veterans Cemetery (DCKMSVC). The monument is a tribute to families who have lost a loved one in combat. It is the first of several Gold Star monuments slated to be installed at locations throughout the country. "Our state is home to many men and women who have served with dedication and honor, some of whom have made the ultimate sacrifice. Today, we pay tribute to those left behind, the families who've

lost a loved one in combat," Gov. Tomblin said. "West Virginians have always answered the call for help-whether here at home or halfway around the world. As we dedicate this monument, I hope we will all take a moment to remember those who've made the ultimate sacrifice and honor their families-the mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. You are in our thoughts and prayers." "When a family sends their son, daughter, brother or sister to defend America's freedoms, it isn't just the service member who is at war-it's the entire family," Secretary Thompson said. "The loved ones of those who pay the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country deserve our sincerest condolences, thanks and respect. I am proud to ded-

Photo courtesy of the Governor's Office icate a monument in recognition of their courage and I am grateful to the Hershel "Woody" Williams Medal of Honor Foundation for working diligently to

establish this tribute at the Donel C. Kinnard Memorial State Veterans Cemetery." "West Virginia is known to have the most patriots per capita

serving America, and lost more of her loved ones per capita in the Armed Forces than any other state," said Medal of Honor recipient Hershel "Woody" Williams. "The dedication of the Gold Star Families Memorial to those who gave one or more of their loved ones is long overdue, and it says to all those who suffered that loss, 'We have not forgotten. We remember.'" The Hershel "Woody" Williams Medal of Honor Foundation, established in 2012, pursues goals and objectives specific to Hershel "Woody" Williams' vision. The Foundation's projects currently include the promotion, creation, and implementation of Gold Star Families Memorial Monuments throughout the country.

Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam holding Paint Drive in October CHARLESTON, WV – Since 2011 the Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam ReStore has been accepting donations of leftover but useable latex paint. Paint is generally donated in very small quantities and a large variety of colors, and often the paint is not useable due to the presence of rust. Thanks to a donation from the Sustainable Kanawha Valley Initiative, the Habitat ReStore has purchased the proper equipment needed to filter, strain and blend all quan-

tities of leftover latex paint and turn it into a useful product. While most paint colors produced are tan, brown and taupe, other colors may be purchased upon availability. In order to boost supplies through the winter months when donations are low, the Habitat ReStore will be holding a paint drive in the month of October, 2013. Leftover but still usable latex paint can be dropped off the entire month of October at the Habitat ReStore, the

Charleston Family YMCA and the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. Remixed paints will be available for purchase every day at the Habitat ReStore in Charleston. After the paint drive, latex paint will continue to be accepted at the Habitat ReStore as a tax-deductible donation. Due to not having the equipment or permits to deal with oil based paints and the high costs associated with disposal, the Habitat ReStore will only accept latex paint. Oil based paints and

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens The Government is Shutting, The Government is Shutting! Ok, this is Monday the 30th of September and all the country is concerned about the government shut down. Let ‘er go. We need to clean house. All who currently hold office need voted out. We need more conservative, God-fearing, Bible-loving, honest, decent and moral people in our government offices. Not all are bad, but for goodness sake can we at least have someone who isn't afraid to stand up for the right and take a stand and lead our country and not wait a year to do something about all the chaos going on? If the government does shut down - and I doubt it will - I think the senators and congressmen should not get a paycheck, but wait, they aren't under the same rules as the government workers and the rest of us. Are they under Obamacare? I think not. Do they worry about retirement? I think not. If I am not mistaken, I think they still get their yearly salary for a lifetime? I will have to check the facts on that one. I think the spouses also get the salary. If that is the case - that is waste. The spouse did not work for the government and what gives the politicians more say than the people who sent them to Washington to represent us? Someone is very, very wrong. Can we all just work together for the good of our country and do the right thing? I think we all are depending on our government to take care of us. How is that working for you? Are you better off now than five years ago? I doubt it. Prices on all products are going up and our paychecks are the same. How much more can people stretch a dollar? I think the main concern is that we have forgotten God in our country. How sad.

PARK FROM PAGE 1 will be at the park to offer fresh vegetables and crops. Music from Change of Heart and The Maryetta Ambassadors will welcome men, women and children from across the state to Hurricane City Park. The crowd favorite: the Annual Chili Cook-Off will also take place. The first place winner will take home $300, the second place winner $200, the third place winner $100 and the people's choice winner $100. Those

interested must call city hall by Friday to register. This Saturday marks more than 20 years of the Harvest Festival. The city also plans to celebrate its 125 anniversary at the event with a cake and a small ceremony. A fireworks display will end the festival at 8 p.m. For more information on this event and others coming to Hurricane this month, call Brenda Campbell at (304) 562-5896.

Goodwill Industries of Kanawha Valley Chamber Business of the Month for September Goodwill Industries of Kanawha Valley, Inc. is a nonprofit organization that exists to provide people with disadvantages with employment, education and training opportunities. Incorporated in the 1950’s, GIKV has been offering a ‘hand-up, not a hand-out’ throughout a 20 county region within West Virginia for over 60 years. However, the Goodwill of today is very different from the Goodwill of the past. In 2012, GIKV received and processed 108,636 donations which created jobs and opportunities for 1,375 West Virginians. As community needs changed and grew, Goodwill rose to the occasion. GIKV began to offer additional options. Thanks to a supportive community of donors, customers and consumers, GIKV employs 375 people on a continuous basis, operates 10 Retail and Donation Centers, an E-commerce Store and over 70 Business Service Contracts. In fact, Goodwill will soon open an eleventh store in Cross Lanes with a plan for a twelfth store already in the works. At Goodwill everything has value. Once you donate to Goodwill, your items take on an entirely new life. Donations may be sold in the retail stores or online; baled for salvage and sold to a salvage dealer or sliced into rags and sold to car washes or utilized in Goodwill’s cleaning service. Even plush and plastic toys have a second or third chance through recycling. Books not sold are shipped to a pulp mill; computers and peripherals are palletized and shipped to an ecologicallysound recycler; unsold shoes, belts and handbags are parsed

out to secondary merchant for the raw materials. Last year, Goodwill helped reduce West Virginia’s carbon footprint by over 1,175 tons of materials through resale, reuse, repurposing and recycling. Every scrap is utilized to the best of our abilities in order to preserve the funding stream which supplies the programs that prepare, support and employ people who experience vocational disadvantages. It is an exciting time to be changing lives and strengthening communities. Two years ago, Goodwill started an Open Enrollment Program to promote access to training, supports and assistance to members of the community at large. Any individual can drop by the main administrative location [or one of the rotating retail locations] on any Wednesday at 1 p.m. and on a first-come-first-serve basis meet with a Mission Service professional and learn what programs and opportunities are available through Goodwill.

There is a shift in the employment market. Whether underemployed, laid-off, retired, previously incarcerated, disabled or emerging from school without job experiences, there is an undeniable increase in the number of individuals seeking employment. GIKV has begun the process of investigating a Career Center expansion on Charleston’s Westside. A Career Center would provide a hub of opportunities for people in need of increasing skills, refining resumes, building work-history and developing the ability to locate, gain and retain employment. You Donate. We Train. Lives Change. Whether donating, shopping, hosting a donation drive, contracting services or hiring a Goodwill employee; you are changing lives and strengthening communities. Thank you for making a positive difference. For additional information, please visit our website: www.goodwillkv.com or Facebook: Goodwill Industries of KV.

Poca High School

So far the girls haven’t been doing as well as they would like. However, they have shown a lot of improvement over the past few weeks. “I think we have been doing really well the past few games, but I think that we could be doing a lot more at practice that gets us prepared for the next games with harder teams,” senior Jordan Smith, said. Coach Larry Perkins is very excited to see the girls applying things they have learned in practice and applying it in the games to help them win. Some of the girls stay after and practice even more. Harley Hutchins, co-captain of the team, is trying to help the girls for next year by taking them to indoor soccer since she will be in the graduating class of 2014. Hutchins said, “We are beginning to come together not only as just a team but a family. We

are working harder at practice. We support each other and encourage each other to do better.” “We are all playing with heart and enjoying every minute of it. Win or lose, we’re just having fun,” said Hutchins. Perkins is very proud of the girls for improving so well and so quickly this year. Senior night is on Oct. 17 when the Dots host Pt. Pleasant in the last home game. Members of the soccer team include: Seniors: Harley Hutchins and Jordan Smith; Juniors: Gracen Masters, Mariah Cook, Kendal Sayre, and Paige Reames; Sophomores: Madalyn Arnott, Taylor Dean, Bailey Songer and Samantha Shamblin. Freshmen: Brooklyn Elkins, Bryana Herdman, Katilyn Scurlock, Michaela Young and Brooke Godish. Heads up - Poca's Brooklyn Elkins moves the ball nicelyat a recent game against Riverside.
