Redskins Dominate Wildcats By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
HURRICANE--This team painted the town red during Friday night's game against Nitro. The Redskins dominated. Running back Zach Pate was unstoppable. The senior led the way with rushing. Pate ran away from Nitro's defense. And that was the theme for Hurricane's win. A solid running game combined with a formidable defense and unbreakable protection on offense fueled the runaway victory for the Redskins. The momentum clearly established itself to Hurricane and never wavered. Into the second half, the boys in red and SEE REDSKINS ON PAGE 8

ELEANOR - There's a calm resting over this town. Silence speaks loudly. At half-mast, American Flags wrinkle and stretch in the autumn air. Through dark clouds, rays of orange touch the road leading to the Eleanor Volunteer Fire Department. Above its entrance, a black ribbon embraces the yellow and white badge for Station 200. Inside the bay, the presence of peace makes its home. A pocketsize New Testament lies on a table. The words from its pages tell the story of a local man many refer to as larger than life "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends," states John
Last ride - The town of Eleanor honors its fire chief, friend and brother Shane Jividen Friday afternoon with a fireman's funeral. Photo by Justin Waybright 15:13. The small book of hope sees men and women in fire uniforms coming together for a fallen comrade. The firefighters hug one another and speak about their fel-
low fireman Shane Jividen. They remember a chief, who lived for others. They remember a friend who loved without limits. Most of all, they remember their brother. For 16 years, Jividen put on
black boots, a flame retardant suit and a helmet bearing "#201 Eleanor VFD." The local firefighter answered his last call during a fundraiser for a Webster County fire department Labor Day Weekend. Jividen wrecked his Polaris ATV during the Poker Run and sustained severe head injuries while the heavy four-wheeler lay on top of him. Crews airlifted the selfless fireman to CAMC General where he finished his duty at 6:01 p.m. Sept. 1. Safety Officer Nyle Whittington served with Jividen when he first began with the fire department, more than 16 years ago. "The fire department...that was his life," he said. "Three or four years ago, he said he wanted to become chief - he accomplished that goal. Unfortunately, it was short-lived." SEE LEGACY ON PAGE 9
Woman Overcomes Impending Death By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com
CHARLESTON - On the third floor of CAMC General, through the MICU, inside a hospital room, peace lives. It passes all understanding. It's a sword that destroys fear: a blanket that comforts. A miracle is defined as "An effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause." It's a word doctors, nurses, family and friends use to describe Kimberly Parsons. The sting of death came for the 29-year-old Frazier's Bottom resident just days ago.
Death is a lie - Jeff and Debbie Holmes stand beside their daughter: a young woman who many refer to as "miracle." Courtesy Photo But she overcame. This is the story of the unexplained and the unimaginable. It's a look into the eyes of the super-
natural: a tale of victory through the impossible; triumph over tragedy. It all began Friday Aug. 2 at Teays Valley CAMC, where Parsons ar-
rived, suffering from severe back pain. The single mother was taken to Women's and Children's Hospital in Charleston. On Monday, doctors diagnosed her with an epidural mass between her 4th and 5th vertebrae. An ambulance rushed her to CAMC General for emergency surgery to remove the mass. After surgeons successfully removed it, defeat invaded victory. "She went into septic shock two hours after they removed the mass," said Parson's father Jeff Holmes. "Her bowels quit working and she suffered multi-organ failure." For 10 days, his daughter stayed on life-support. Hope faded by the hour. WOMAN ON PAGE 5

WeeklyDevotional By Mary Jane “PRECIOUS MEMORIES” Thought for the week: But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19 (KJV) In 1975 Barbara Streisand recorded a beautiful song about memories, Lyrics were; Memories lights the corners of my mind. Misty water color memories of the way we were, Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, smiles we give one another for the way we were. My mother’s birthday was September 9th, she passed away in 1975 and I always remember this date, plus many other precious memories of her. Certain days can trigger a memory for most of us. We often have reminders of where we were on certain days, months, or years, and a visual picture comes to the mind of what we did on that day. Some of us, like Brother Carl,
can tell you the exact year of most events. Seems like at fall time, the winding down of seasons, we look back more so than other times of the year. The leaves of memory seemed to make a mournful rustling in the dark - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Now I have another important date this September to remember. My granddaughter Erin is traveling abroad as an American exchange student to the country of Finland to study medicine for four months. I ask God to be her protector. While at this young age of 20 she is making a lifetime of memories. She will always keep. The mind is the control center of the body, without it we could not function. I do not believe man will ever discover a way to repeat the process in which the mind can store and release a memory. We have human robots and computers as well as all
other electronic devices that can do numerous things, but the mind will not be replaced. This is God's soul control of each. Proverbs 10:7 - The memory of the just is blessed; but the name of the wicked shall rot. Do you remember the Bob Hope TV Show? It always ended with his song, Thanks --- for the memo-ries, now, if you can remember the tune to this song. Sing the words below to yourself for a laugh. “Thanks for the Medicare / for Blue Cross and Blue Shield / for a hip that finally healed / Remember, on Prescriptions, generic is a steal / We Thank you so much.’’ This was sung by the late Estelle Getty on the Golden Girls series. I wish you use this day to make a memory that you will cherish forever. Prayer: Our Father, like the song goes, roll back the curtain of memories now and then; show me where you brought me from and where I could have been, remember I’m human and humans forget, so remind. Remind me dear Lord. Amen.
2013 Putnam 4-H Dairy Judging SUBMITTED ARTICLE Even though the dairy industry in West Virginia has unfortunately been dwindling in population over the years, the spark and interest for the Putnam County Dairy Judging Team has only increased. Both junior and senior judgers placed six classes of Brown Swiss, Jersey, and Ayrshire diary heifers and Jersey and Holstein cows. After completing notes and placing within a fifteen minute time frame, the divisions are split up and the judgers had to give their oral reasons. Oral reasons are very import in a judging competition as it gives the young judgers the opportunity to inform the officials on how they saw the class should have been placed and the specifics as to why the 4-H’er placed them the way they did. Putnam County was well represented at the 2013 West Virginia Dairy Cattle Show and judging event by two junior individuals and two senior individuals. The Putnam judgers consisted of Mariah Rowsey, John Harless, Emma Nazarewycz, and Erica Akers. All competed well and received award winning recogni-

The junior judgers did extremely well as Emma received 12th place and Erica received 3rd place amongst the other four counties who participated: Upshur, Berkley, Mineral, and Ohio. John and Mariah proudly represented Putnam in the
senior division, they judged as individuals in the competition. Senior division judging is more competitive as they must give two sets of oral reasons defending their choice for top ranking bovine. John placed 3rd individual and Mariah placed 1st place individual; she was also top ranking judge for the Brown Swiss and Ayrshire breeds.

Senior citizens may join Putnam Country’s TOP 65 CLUB” SUBMITTED ARTICLE and PHOTO by Bill Ellis All Putnam County residents who are 65 and older may become a member of the “TOP 65 Club.” That means they will have free admission to all Putnam County middle and high school athletic events inside the county. This exciting and valuable program began on West Virginia Day 2011.” There are now over 500 senior residents who are in the program. The card is nontransferable. Some schools may also require an additional photo ID for admittance. People 65 and older in the family must have their own card. For example, Kitty and I both have our own individual card. It does not accommodate any guest you may bring to the game. This special program requires Putnam residency, an application and an appointment with Gary Sigman, Jr., Coordinator of Energy/Safety/Security at the County Board of Education office in Winfield to have a photo ID made and a card produced.
The card does not have to be renewed yearly and is good for all athletic events except WVSSAC post-season events including sectional, regional and state athletic events. It cannot be used for conference tournaments that include teams from out of the county. You may call Mr. Sigman for your photo ID appointment at 304-586-0500, extension 1174. You will enjoy seeing our young athletes perform and all the others who make up bands, cheerleaders and the fans who bring
excitement to these games. With no charge for admittance to games, you may have enough money for a delicious hotdog, popcorn and a soft drink. Kitty and I look forward to the opening game of the season and invite all who are 65 and older to join us for our high school games. We have watched our children and teenagers grow and will enjoy being present for their games and they will appreciate our being there to cheer them on. See you at the games!
Tri-County YMCA The Skinny: Sept. 10, 2013 Exercise? Who Has Time for That? It’s that time of year again. Summer is over, school has started and your schedule is on overload! Who has time to exercise? Well, exercise doesn’t have to mean an entire hour in the morning or evening. There are ways to get creative with your workouts – and not have to do it all at one time. “Building physical activity back into our daily lives is one of the great public health challenges of this century,” said Russell Pate, Ph.D., professor in the Department of Exercise at the University of South Carolina. “Our bodies were designed to be physically active, and they don’t do well with long-term exposure to sedentary living. Lack of
physical activity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease.” So, what are some ways to get some activity? Here are some suggestions that don’t seem so much like exercise. Do you have to walk that dog every morning and every evening? If so, get out the least and make it a little longer. Even just 10 minutes will not only benefit you but your canine companion as well. Take an adventure walk with your child. Explore the neighborhood – turn it into a 20 minute scavenger hunt that will provide some one-on-one time. Is it raining or really cold? Head to the mall. This is a great place to walk and perhaps even get some window shopping

done. Malls are climate controlled and provide a good area to get in some walking during day and evening hours. Don’t want to miss your favorite show? Easy. Hit the treadmill for a workout while you watch. In fact, sometimes you’ll forget you are actually exercising! Park further away. Instead of waiting for the closest spot, park further away and walk a little further to get to where you need to be. Also, instead of taking the elevator – opt for the stairs. The main point here is that physical activity doesn’t have to be an hour at the gym or running in a race. It can be a simple walk outside or at the mall or taking out your dog and can be done a few times a day if you don’t have the time to do it all at once. Bottom line – make the best of it – your heart will thank you! 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.

Christian's Sports Beat: Local Players Shine for Herd Soccer Team
By: Christian Deiss
HUNTINGTON, WV – Two local soccer players are among the group of young student athletes that are playing for this year’s Marshall University Men’s Soccer Team. Trevor Starcher of Hurricane and Tommy Trupo of Scott Depot will be playing close to home this season. I saw Trupo and Starcher play on opening night of the team’s new soccer field, The Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex on campus of Marshall University. Trupo, a freshman forward, told me he was excited to be playing on the new field, “It’s very humbling because a lot of players before us who went through a lot of hard times just having a place to practice and I feel very grateful for all of the people who made it happen.” Trupo won high school state player of the year twice
while playing for Charleston Catholic. This summer I attended the Marshall Soccer Camp and Trupo was one of my coaches for the week-long school, “It was a great experience for me. It felt very good because I could give back to the community. I have been playing soccer since your age and to teach young players is awesome,” Trupo told me. Starcher, a red-shirt freshman midfielder also helped at the university’s soccer camp, “It’s was great to see a bunch of kids out there loving the game and wanting to get better and take their game to the next level.” Starcher was the state high school triple-a Midfielder of the Year in 2010 while playing for the Hurricane Redskins. The young Thundering Herd Squad only has three seniors this season, which means young athletes like Trupo and Starcher will have to grow up quickly, said Assistant Herd Soccer Coach Thomas Olivier, “You know Tommy has had some health issues but he is coming back strong, he and us just have to be patient and he’ll be fine.

"You have a lot of people here for you, hun," she said to Parsons. "A lot of people would never have made it to this point, but you're a fighter." Holmes agreed. He looked toward his daughter with pride. "She's an absolute miracle," he said. Holmes served as a critical care medic for more than 20 years. He transferred hundreds of patients suffering from similar life-threatening ailments. "From day-one, I knew how grave it could be - I knew how bad it was and how little of a chance she had without prayer and God," Holmes said. Parson's arms, legs, fingers and toes are blackened by the lack of circulation. Her fluid-filled lungs are cleared multiple times every hour by a suction device. She is fed through a tube, inserted into her stomach. Although in pain, the young woman cried tears of overwhelming joy as her parents recalled everything she had went through. "I feel good...I'm a fighter and I will continue to fight," Parsons said. "This has helped make my faith much stronger." When asked what she looks forward to when returning home to Frazier's Bottom, the young mother answered the way any mother
would. "Kissing my kids all over," she said. "I have my three babies to make happy." This area resident has walked through three miracles,according to family and friends. Parsons was born 2-1/2 months premature. The infant only weighed 2 pounds,8.5 ounces. She overcame. At the age of one, Parsons suffered from croup and nearly died in a pediatric intensive care unit. She overcame. Days ago, Sepsis should have killed her, but it didn't. She overcame. At press time, the battle still raged around Parsons. Doctors had to remove a pinky and ring finger. The medical staff plans to amputate both legs below the knee and the right arm above the elbow. Through it all, Parsons remains confident. Amid the pain, smiles
still cover her face. Although, the future is unpredictable, the young woman keeps her faith and fears not.

To make a donation to help with Parson's medical expenses, deposit to Account 35656 at: Pioneer West Virginia Federal Credit Union 1320 Kanawha Blvd. East Charleston, WV 25301 Parsons has a message for everyone reading this: • Always go to the doctor for even the simplest things • Don't assume it's nothing until you go to the doctor • Keep fighting because family and friends are always worth fighting for • Don't give up.
WOMAN FROM PAGE 1 Prayers from thousands flooded emails, phones, social media and the hospital room. "On August 14, we were broken down to our knees," said Parson's mother Debbie Holmes. "She wasn't responding well at all and the doctors felt her chances of surviving were miniscule." That evening, Jeff and Debbie went home to do the hardest thing they had ever done: plan a funeral for their daughter. They accepted that she was going to die. "It was the darkest time I've ever been in - you're at the lowest low you could ever be," Holmes said, looking at his wife. At 10 a.m. the next day, the griefstricken parents walked into the hospital room to see their daughter once more. As Jeff and Debbie Holmes entered, something unreal happened. "We came in and when we got there she was awake and answering questions," recalled Jeff. Doctors and nurses were baffled. Their patient had overcome impending death. "Less than 12 hours earlier, we were at our lowest of lows," Holmes said. "...But we know what happened." Debbie agreed. "Jesus intervened," she said with confidence. During this interview, a nurse walked into the room to check on
The fighter - Kimberly Parsons suffered from a vertebrae mass, septic shock, and sepsis. By all medical accounts, the fact she is alive is a miracle. Courtesy Photo Parsons. The young medical professional smiled. "Her outlook on everything continues to help her healing and so does the support of her friends and family," she said. "She's a fighter." When asked about the likelihood of survival for this condition, the nurse looked at Parsons and spoke with conviction. "She's a miracle...definitely," she said. Another nurse walked into the room. Joy covered her face.

Fun with trout-stream Smallmouth
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
I was fishing recently at Knapps Creek in Pocahontas County with a fly rod and some weighted dry flies and weighted streamers. After I gave up on dry flies and switched to streamers, I was using something I call the “snake retrieve.” That's where the rod hand trembles in such a way that the tip of the rod vibrates back and forth so that the line from the tip of the rod to the water goes back and forth in a series of “S”
curves. For some time, I had been catching small fish, a small trout or two, plus three or four rock bass and two bluegill, one of which was a big one and a bit of a fighter. The water was thigh-deep and I had been fishing about a foot below the surface when I saw a very large blue heron flying directly downstream toward me. From that angle, it looked and sounded (a low-pitched, drawn out “whoosh, whoosh” as the large wings propelled it forward) a lot like I would image a pterosaur might have looked and sounded like epochs ago. While the bird was still afar, I lowered my rod and stood perfectly still while wondering how close the large bird might come to me if I did so. About 30 yards off, he climbed up to about 50 feet high as he flew over my head. I raised the rod and drew in some line to prepare for the next cast, but the line tightened so much I thought I was snagged. That is, until the snag moved. On the other end of that line was a smallmouth bass. So, I changed my fishing strategy and
let the streamers tumble around on the rocks. The water was clear and I was able to see very clearly some of the strikes that were close to me. With one, the streamer was bouncing along the top of a large, flat rock. The bass came from the shadowy cavity beneath the rock and struck. That bass emerged to strike before he ever saw that streamer. What drew him from his hole was the sound of the metal weight of the streamer going “tink, tink” against the rock. To the fish, that tapping sound was the noise a crayfish makes as it moves along a rock. For the rest of the evening, I concentrated on imitating crayfish this way. It wasn't long before the rod bent over with the largest fish I have yet pulled out of that creek. It took me some time to land that smallmouth and in the meantime he darted back and forth around and under rocks, leaped out of the water several times, including a full-body leap – a far better fight than I've had from any trout on that stream. I've been ignoring the trout lately and concentrating on de-
This smallmouth put up a strong fight after taking a fly on Knapps Creek in Pocahontas County. Photo by David Payne veloping a good crayfish fly for smallmouth. I've made some realistic-looking imitations with hackle feathers cut to look like claws and hackle tied around the body in hopes that it will look like a crayfish mid-molt. The metal hourglass-shaped weights I've been using for eyes are a bit oversized for the hooks, but I'm hoping that will magnify the tapping sound on the rocks. I did come across some interesting findings from a research team at Pure Fishing Inc. (used to
be called Berkley Fly Company) in Iowa. They used a robotic arm (with strike counter) to present various crayfish imitations to a group of 450 largemouth bass and recorded the number of strikes for each lure. They started out with something that looked like a crayfish with all its claws and legs intact, then used one with a missing claw, then moved to one with no claws and finally one with no claws or legs. They found with each missing appendage, the number of strikes increased. The most successful crayfish bait had no claws or legs and looked more like a shrimp. They wanted to market a crayfish bait with no appendages, but the idea was nixed by corporate because they didn't think anyone would buy it. The corporate big whigs were probably correct, but those findings are certainly food for thought for anybody working on a crayfish imitation of their own. Incidentally, John Tertuliani's crayfish fly – discussed in this column earlier this year – is a wooly bugger with the eye at the rear of the hook and is legless and clawless.
Outdoors Roundup West Virginia small-game hunting began with the one-day youth squirrel season on Sept. 7, followed by the opening day of squirrel season on Sept. 14. Rough grouse season opens Oct. 12 and runs to the end of February. Raccoon season opens 6 p.m. on Oct. 12 and also runs through the end of February. The bag limit is four raccoons. The next smallgame season to open will be rabbit season on Nov. 2. Rabbit populations are expected to be high this year thanks to an unusually wet summer that increased food and cover. I've certainly seen more rabbits out this year than I have in a long time. Snowshoe hare, bobwhite quail, ring-necked pheasant, bobcat, red fox, and gray fox hunting seasons also open No-
vember 2. Night hunting with lights for foxes will open January 1 and continue until February. Trapping season for fur-bearing animals begins Nov. 2. Archery seasons for deer and bear open Sept. 28. The beararchery season runs until Nov. 23 and then resumes on Dec. 9 and closes Dec. 31. Deer archery season also closes on Dec. 31. The daily bag limit for deer has increased, allowing a hunter to take up to two deer in one day, although only one can be a buck. The first deer does not have to be checked in before the second archery deer can be taken. If you have a spare eyeglass case laying around, they make great cases for fishing flies. If you wear glasses, as I do, you probably have some of these around the house and most yard sales have a case or two.
These cases are designed specifically to fit comfortably in a pocket and rigid enough to keep eyeglasses from being crushed, all while being easy to open and snap shut with one hand. All these properties make them excellent fly boxes that hold up well over time. Most of these cases are made of steel and have a rigid plastic lining inside to cushion your eyeglasses from the metal shell. You can leave the lining there if you want. You can also rip it out (it doesn't necessarily come out easily). I have one that I have used on streams for about eight years or so and I finally removed that plastic lining this year because it was curling up around the edges. You can carry dozens of flies in this case if you make a liner for it so the flies will be held securely. You'll need a sheet of thin foam (I bought mine at West Virginia Hobbies and Crafts in Teays Valley). Open the case and place the foam on top and apply pressure at the edges, so the lip of the case edge makes an indentation in the foam. Cut the foam out and glue it to the inside of the case. Repeat

Photo by David Payne the other side, so you will have a liner for the inside top and bottom. Gently snag the hook of the flies into the foam. I've carried most of my flies in such a case for years. I store and carry my favorite rod (a three piece) in a metal tube specifically made for that purpose, but it is easy to make your
own. All you need is a piece of plastic PVC pipe and two plugs. Glue one plug securely on the bottom and apply, but don't glue the other one to make your removable cap. You might want to drill a few small holes for vents. You can decorate any way you want. It's a cheap and easy way to protect your gear.

Putnam Sheriff's Department honors Fallen Comrade By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
WINFIELD - The Putnam Sheriff's Department honored a fallen deputy Tuesday afternoon. Flint "The Big G," a longtime K9 and friend, served on the department for eight years. Day after day, the German Shepherd risked his life to protect deputies and residents. Flint uncovered countless narcotic discoveries during his service, including the location of more than 680 pounds of marijuana with a street value of more than $2 million. Flint was known throughout the Putnam County School system, performing searches, demonstrations and security for football games. He competed in two K-9 competitions, hosted by the Charleston Police Department. In 2004, he won first place in the tracking competition and in 2006 first place in the narcotic detection competition. Sadly, Flint died on Thursday July 25. He was 11 years old. "He was such an integrate part of the community," said deputy

"Dogs like this...they're heroes - they're the first ones to make contact and they're loyal." More than a co-worker, Flint was family, the deputy said. Jack Rinchich with the National Police Hall of Fame conducted a ceremony Tuesday morning, honoring the furry comrade. "God created all creatures for a purpose, and K9s are not just dogs," he said. "They're an officer, trooper or deputy." Rinchich continued, "There is a special bond that takes place

His instrumental assistance with the apprehension of criminals and prevention of crime is the basis upon which this recognition is made." Rinchich looked toward Sgt. Shamblin and Sheriff Steve Deweese and spoke a familiar phrase. "Semper Fidelis," he said with boldness. "Always faithful."

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens Football Time Again It's that time of year again, football!!!!!!!!! I like football better than all the other sports because that is what I first started watching when I was around 12 years old. I used to watch Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell, Don Meredith (I was crazy about him) and Frank Gifford. I would stay with Junior and Lola Setliff and their girls Lana and Brenda. Junior would tell me what was going on and I caught on fast. I knew that the ball had to get to the end-zone to score or you kicked the ball through the goal to get points. I still don't know all the different positions but I do know something about football. I watched football back in the 70's and the Pittsburgh Steelers was my favorite team. Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Mean Joe Greene, Rocky Bleier, and of course Jack Lambert. I loved to watch on Sunday afternoons and it was a treat to stay up when the Steelers were on Monday nights. That was icing on the cake. All the players on the team would always wave and say 'hi mom”. I don't think I have seen that in quite awhile. Things have changed a lot since the 70's but football is still football. Then comes October and the baseball playoffs. I was so excited to see the Cincinnati Reds win the world series over Boston and it came down to the very last game. I believe it was rained out for a few days and then the win. They just don't make players like that anymore. I have been to the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio and should you ever get the chance to go, just go.

white led the ballgame 35 to 0. But, Hurricane was literally only halfway done with its march to a "W." The Redskins' o-line gave senior quarterback Austin Hensley plenty of time to nail pictureperfect passes and hand-offs, constantly propelling the team toward the end zone. By the end of the third quarter, the nail had locked the coffin shut. Coach Jeremy Taylor rotated starters out for second stringers, giving the whole team a crack at the hurting Wild Cats. It was over before the clock got close to running out. By the game's end, the scoreboard read Hurricane 70, Nitro 7. Next, the Redskins will face Riverside Friday at 7:30 for an away game.

LEGACY FROM PAGE 1 Whittington remembers a fellow fireman, who loved working on racecars, trucks and motorcycles with his father. He recalls a man, who stuck by his side, closer than a brother. "He was with me when my wife had open-heart surgery in 2011 he watched my son and helped my family," Whittington said. "You could call him anytime for anything and he'd help." Eleanor Fire Captain Joseph Herdman grew up on the same road as Jividen. The two had known each other since midget league basketball. "Me and him joined the fire department the same night," Herdman said. The saddened fire captain remembered the first fire they put out together. "It was an evening call in May of 1998, off 34 in Winfield," Herdman said. "It was a small fire, limited to a single room in a trailer." The fireman continued, "We both rode on the back of the same fire engine together." Like Whittington, the young man described his buddy as a selfless man that put others first. "He was a strong-willed man, who'd do anything for anybody," Herdman said. Longtime friend and fellow town and fire department member Michael May spoke about the rare love Jividen possessed. "Shane had a way of making everybody feel wanted, comfortable and welcome," he said. "Shoulder-to-shoulder, side-by-
Saying goodbye - The fire gear of Eleanor Fire Department Chief Shane Jividen serves as a memory of a man with a heart larger than life. Jividen died Sunday evening from injuries sustained in an ATV accident. Photo by Justin Waybright side, he helped restore unity back into the fire department." May recalled one memory: a truck accident that nearly took his life. In 2000, the town worker had flipped his pick-up and lay dying as paramedics and fellow firefighters fought to pull him to safety. Jividen was there. The brave fireman laid his body across a sheet of shattered glass and held May's hand. "He kept saying, 'I'm with you...don't go...keep fighting,'" May recalled. "He had cuts all over his body, but he wouldn't leave my side."
He continued, "I will always remember that, and I still here his voice in my head, telling me to keep fighting." Like Whittington and Herdman, May described Jividen's love as something not of this world. During the final hours at the hospital, area firefighters, families and friends arrived to support Jividen and pray for the dying fireman. The chief lay unconscious, fading in and out. "I got to see him one last time in the ICU, and I was told he could hear me," May said, fighting tears. "I told him...to go to God with open arms...and that...God... would accept him." Moments later, Larry Shane Jividen answered his final call. Thursday evening, friends and family held a viewing. On Friday, a Fireman's Funeral took place. Hundreds flooded the town to say goodbye to their fallen brother. The community of Eleanor may never recover from this tragedy. Although it has lost a selfless fire chief, brother and friend, an everlasting legacy of love and service remains. "Here at Station 200 There will be much grief But I'm happy to report Heaven has a new fire chief You can never be replaced That is a given There will never be another man Like Shane Jividen" - Poem by longtime friend Michael May

One of America's most renowned amateur golfers, Campbell was deeply devoted to Huntington and to W.Va., where he resided for nearly all of his life. Respected for his honesty, intelligence, athletic achievements and integrity; Campbell was above all a gentleman who served and cared for the world and those around him. Born in Huntington, W.Va., in 1923, Campbell, the son of Ruth and Rolla D. Campbell, was introduced to golf by this father at the age of three.

American to head both the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the two governing bodies of worldwide golf. Like his good friend and early mentor, professional golfer, Sam Snead, Campbell frequently played the courses at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., where for many years he had a second home. Campbell graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy and Princeton University. After serving in combat with the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II, he succeeded his maternal grandfather, C.W. Cammack, as the agent for John Hancock Insurance in Huntington, and headed the agency for 60 years. Campbell served in the W.Va. legislature from 1948 to 1951. He also served on the boards of several corporations, notably First Huntington National Bank and C&P Telephone of W.Va., and headed many commissions and nonprofit organizations or chaired or served on their boards. These include The Greater Huntington Chamber of Commerce, the Huntington YMCA, the Advisory Board of Marshall University, the Marshall University Foundation, the Huntington Museum of Art, the Cammack Children's Center, the Cabell County American Red Cross, the Central Ohio Valley Industrial Council, the Ohio Valley Improvement Association, the West Virginia Legislative Compensation Committee, and the West Virginia Industrial & Publicity Commission.

Sidewalk Prophets Grace Putnam By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
HURRICANE - As the September sun set, five men walked onto a stage and graced more than 1,000 people with music that can only be described as divine. The Sidewalk Prophets kicked off Labor Day weekend Sunday during the annual Rock the Valley show. People across the state crowded into Valley Park to experience a night of music like no other. Lawn chairs stretched as far as the eye could see. At 8 p.m. people rose to their feet and welcomed the band. Minutes before hitting the stage, lead singer Dave Frey spoke about the first time he sang. "I was a 2-year-old in diapers and would sing along to my mom's record player," he remembered. "I sang in church, and I was at a pizza party at my dorm once, just having fun and my peers took notice." Frey continued, "So, I moved to Nashville and used craigslist to find the band." The humble vocalist has watched Sidewalk Prophets soar to success during the past 12 years. Beyond sell-out crowds, album de-
buts and a staggering fan base, Frey stays focused on the true purpose of his music and his life. "We wrote "Live Like That," a song about Hebrews 12:1 where God says 'Look who I've put around you,' - we are to run this race - I can run it thanks to these people," he explained. "When we leave this earth, we want to live like that - like Jesus - a love that knows no bounds." Frey continued, "When we leave this earth, we have a desire to have people say 'He loved Jesus.'" It has been more than one decade since Sidewalk Prophets burst onto the music scene. Throughout the years, the band has played for two reasons: God and people. "All musical talent is a gift and ours is about Him," he said. "The most powerful time in the world someone comes up to you and says ' this song means this to me' - we take these little songs and God uses them over here for this person or that person to help them." The Sidewalk Prophets has watched thousands of lives changed at their shows. The band has seen tears and smiles. Knowing they are impacting people, keeps the five musicians

Frey walked toward the stage to a crowd ripe with anticipation and excitement. In the audience, Bethany Carr, president of the TeaysValley Ministerial Association, was more than proud to help sponsor the free concert and see the band play. "We looked at quite a few groups, but we just loved their message and the way they communicate it," she said. "Things like this only happen by the grace of God and the unity
within the community and churches working together." Once the band played one of their famous singles "The Words I Would Say," smiles covered the face of St. Albans resident Cody Evans. The 20-year-old was overwhelmed with excitement. "This is a totally unexpected miracle that something like this comes to a small town like this - we get to hear about God and have a good evening," Evans said. "This is the first time I've heard them and I'm
looking forward to hearing more." The young man recently graduated high school and has joined the military. The future is unpredictable, but Evans relies on one hope to help him through while he is fighting for his country. "Even if you lose hope, with God you'll always have direction, and if you don't know the next move to take, He'll guide you to your next move," he said. "With Him, you'll make it." Frey and his bandmates lit up the night sky. The field at Valley Park became a river of people, stretching into the horizon. The band united in heavenly harmonies that penetrated the hearts of all in attendance. Unhindered joy manifested itself with every melody. Frey spoke in between one of the songs. He recited words from a Robert Frost poem that summed up his band's mission. "'Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference,'" he said. "I want to take the road less traveled by - that's following the heart of Jesus." Next, the Sidewalk Prophets played its signature tune, "Live Like That."
