A Walk of Faith By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

HURRICANE - Teays Valley Church of God's vision is moving across Putnam County, literally. Starting Oct. 7, Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Melissa Pratt will lace up her Nike tennis shoes and trek more than 64 miles. During her 4-day journey, the local church leader will pray over every area community she passes through. Pratt's steps will be ordered by God, she said. "I want to make an impact," the pastor said. "I want to talk to people about the Lord, their life and encourage them to set goals - with God's help they can achieve them." The local woman will soon prove this. She will begin on W. Va. 34 and walk to U.S. 60 to the county line at St. Albans. The second day, Pratt will begin at the Cabell County line in CulSEE FAITH ON PAGE 5

9/11: They Will Never Forget By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

WINFIELD - Twelve years ago the world stopped. On that Tuesday morning in September, 2,996 lives ended in one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history. On Sept. 11, 2013, the wind whispered through the trees in Putnam County. Birds flocked together. A silent calm swept over the courthouse in Winfield. At 10 a.m., members of American Legion Post 187 gathered to honor the lives lost during 9-11 attacks. The sense of unhindered peace overtook the entrance of the courthouse while legion member Kenny Bright spoke. "On Sept. 11, our lives were changed...our world was changed forever," he said. "Terrorists attacked thousands of unsuspect-

shocked us the most was our way of life was attacked - our freedom - our democracy."

Both are very happy about having a local health store that carries numerous organic and natural products. “I was here last week and couldn’t wait to come back and bring my mom,” Miller said. “I could spend hours in here looking at all of their products.” One specialty item in particuHEALTHSMART ON PAGE 7

Freshmen Enrollment Numbers Surge at West Virginia State University INSTITUTE, WV - The number of first-time freshmen attending West Virginia State University (WVSU) this fall surged nearly 50 percent over fall 2012 enrollment numbers. Fall 2013 first-time freshmen enrollment numbers stood at 432 students as of today, compared to 291 first-time freshmen in fall 2012. The upswing in enrollment turns around three consecutive years of declining enrollment at WVSU. “We have done a lot more outreach to let prospective students and their families know about the opportunities available at West Virginia State University,” said Katherine McCarthy, vice president for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs at WVSU. “We have also hosted a number of events designed to bring students to campus, and we have made great strides in getting financial aid packages out in a

timely manner.” In addition to an increase in its freshmen class numbers, the geographic area WVSU draws its students from continues to increase, with 52 percent of first-time students coming from Kanawha County, 17 percent from Putnam County, 3 percent from Boone County and 2 percent from Cabell County. In all, students come to WVSU from 19 counties in West Virginia. In addition, WVSU drew students from 17 states, with Maryland and Ohio sending the most students to Institute after West Virginia. “I look forward to the contributions these Yellow Jackets will make in and out of the classroom in the coming years,” said WVSU President Brian O. Hemphill. “As a public institution of higher education, it is our duty and responsibility to ensure that each of these students is provided an op-

Final total enrollment for the 2013-2014 academic year will be released in October, as part of WVSU’s annual reporting to the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.

WeeklyDevotional By Mary Jane “TIME, TIME, AND MORE TIME” Thought for the week: My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope. Job 7:6. (KJV) Have you ever sat and watched someone knit or crochet, observing how fast a needle and thread can move in a pair of hands? That’s how time seems to be passing us each day of life. We arise each morning, go into the day, noontime is here, then too soon evening dusk approaches. Another day has come and gone, same as the months; seems only yesterday we noticed the daffodils tall slender stem emerge out of the ground, then saw the bright yellow flowers bloom.

There used to be a quote on the wall, of the ladies room, in Jim Tweel’s Spaghetti House: Yesterday is the Past Tomorrow is the Future Today is a Gift – that’s why it is called the Present.

Tri-County YMCA The Skinny: Sept. 17, 2013 I Just Can’t Do It….And Other Reasons You Say You Can’t or Won’t Exercise 1. Too Busy. This is a probably the most common excuse people use for not exercising. However, you make time for favorite television shows…why not exercise? Take the time to look at your calendar and fit it in. Wake up 30 minutes earlier. Squeeze another 30 minutes in the evening. Break up the work out and you won’t believe the results. You aren’t too busy….you just won’t find the time. 2. Too Old. Seriously? Too old? That excuse will never work. Why? Because exercise at any age is important for mobility and overall well-being but can help reduce muscle loss and prevent

falls. Being too old just won’t work as an excuse simply because age is truly nothing but a number. 3. I’m Alone. Don’t want to exercise alone? Find a workout partner. This could be walking or taking a class together. The best part of finding someone to exercise with is having that moral support and motivation to keep up the exercise routine. 4. It’s Boring. Really? Boring? There are so many different forms of exercise it’s impossible to be bored. Dance, box, swim, run, walk….there are so many options that the issue isn’t boredom – it’s choosing what you enjoy best. 5. I’m Too Fat. No one is ever too fat. Just start exercising

gradually. Walking and swimming are great ways to start getting active. Also, it’s important to remember that exercise is not a free pass to eat more calories – you want to burn calories and not add more. Find an exercise that is right for you – ask your doctor for a list of approved exercises that can help lose weight and build muscle. You’ll soon discover you were never too fat.

Christian's Sports Beat: : WV Power Make It to Playoffs

By: Christian Deiss

CHARLESTON, WV - After posting a South Atlantic League (SAL) Northern Division regular season best 82 – 58 record, the West Virginia Power made it to the league playoffs. The 82 wins also tied a franchise record. In the opening round of the post season, the Power faced the visiting Hagerstown Suns at Appalachian Power Park. In game one of the best of three-game series, the Suns beat the Power 6 1. Before game one I talked to Power Manager Mike Ryan about what the playoff atmosphere was like, “Every playoff game I have been involved in, it’s a lot different than the regular season. It’s a lot louder and a lot more fun to play in.” As a player, the firstyear Power skipper played in the American League Division Series with the Minnesota Twins three times and the American League Championship Series one time also with the Twins and eight times in the minors. Game two saw the Power tie the series at a game apiece by winning 6 – 3 in 11 innings in

Hagerstown, setting up a third game winner take all match-up. On the mound for the second game for the Power was rookie right-hander John Kuchno, who told me what it’s like playing in the playoffs, “It’s an honor, it’s a lot of hard work paying off for the team. I played in the Big Ten Conference playoffs last year at Ohio State. It’s a lot of fun. The stakes are higher but that is why you play the whole regular season.” Power right fielder Josh Bell led the Power with four runs batted in, in game two. Bell and teammate Tyler Glasnow, a righthanded starting pitcher, were selected to the SAL end of the season All-Star team as the best players at their respective positions during the regular season. Ryan had high praise for the young duo, “Both of those guys have made the most improvement from the beginning of the year, to the end of the season and they deserve to be on the All-Star team. I am very happy and proud to be able to have managed them this year.” Bell finished the regular season hitting .279 with 13 home runs and 76 runs batted in. Glasnow was 9 -3 with an earned run average of 2.18 and led the SAL with 164 strikeouts, which was also a Power record. In the third and deciding game of the opening round, the Power fell to the Suns 6 – 2, sending them home for the 2013 season. Power left-fielder Jon Schwind told me how much fun it’s been playing for the team this season, “It’s probably the most fun I have

So regardless how you do as an individual, we played as a team and that’s really all that matters.” Kuchno agreed, “It’s been a lot of fun. Since day one we have had a good group of guys, never taking any one game for granted. I just got to enjoy baseball again. I felt last year at school I put a lot of pressure on myself because it was my draft year and it was just time to play ball again and help the team.” Ryan shares his play-

ers opinion on the season, “It’s been so much fun, these guys not only have they become better players, but they have become better people also. The things they have been doing off the field in the community has been outstanding. They are a very close knit type of team; it’s been fun watching them. “ I think the Power players played hard this season and I had fun watching and talking to the team.

"Jesus walked when He healed, served and taught - I want my walk to demonstrate the willingness to go where people are hurting: where there are questions and needs," she explained. "I want to demonstrate the commitment of our church: we're building a place so we can meet more needs and provide recreational, banquet and conference space as a gift to the community." Like a city on a hill, Teays Valley Acres is the spot where this vision will unfold. Once complete, the place will include 74-acres with a facility

that can hold more than 1,200 people. The property will feature walking trails, a playground and a recreational facility. The proposed project costs $4.3 million. "To fund it, we are trying to sell our current facilities, raise $1.3 million over the next three years and borrow $1 million," explained Thom Pratt. "This will all be on 74-acres of what we believe is some of Putnam County's most beautiful land." The current church at 4430 Teays Valley Road is for sale with a price tag of $2.2 million. Teays Valley Church of God is

beginning its capital campaign to raise $1.3 million for site preparation by Pray Construction. The campaign is titled "Mission Possible." On Thursday Sept. 19, 10-to-15minute presentations about the new project will be given every hour, starting at 10 a.m. and ending at 6 p.m. at Teays Valley Acres Community Park, located at 4606 Teays Valley Road.

FAITH FROM PAGE 1 loden. She will walk to Hurricane, down Teays Valley Road to U.S. 35 and end at Kings River Church. On the third day, she will start at the Mason County line, venture through Buffalo, walk to Frazier's Bottom to Winfield and end at Eleanor. On the last day, Pratt will walk from Nitro to Poca, across W. Va. 62, over the Winfield Bridge, down W. Va. 34 and end the four-day quest at the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. It's a massive undertaking with unpredictable steps along the way. However, the local preacher is not scared. Pratt's feet will endure more than 337,920 steps in just four days. Yet, she remains fearless. The resident will walk more than 15 miles per day with no formal training or great athletic ability. She is ready. "I'm not an athlete - the closest I come to being sporty is beating my husband in Ping Pong," Pratt laughed. "I felt God wanted me to be in a place physically to symbolize where I was spiritually." The local pastor continued,

"I'm put into a position where I know I don't have the natural ability to accomplish this, so I have to be in a place of total trust as I make this effort to lead our church forward." Pratt said she we will walk by faith...not by sight. She looks to a passage from the New Testament for inspiration. "With God all things are possible," states Matthew 19:26. The local preacher and her husband Thom have lived in Putnam County for more than six years. Throughout this time, they have helped grow Teays Valley Church of God from 100 to 400 members, added new ministries, a second service and participated in countless community outreach events. Their faith has told them "yes" when many around them have said "no." The Pratts have watched the church congregation become doers. Men and women have put action behind their faith, they said. All this is in response to love and service, two aspects that drive Pratt's walk.

The young American organist Christopher Houlihan, labeled “gifted” (New York Times), “dazzling” (Wall Street Journal), and ”one of the brightest stars in the new generation of American organists” (Cincinnati Enquirer) will be performing a classical concert. This will be Houlihan's second visit to Forrest Burdette Memorial United Methodist Church in Hurricane. He made his orchestral debut with the Hartford Symphony and recorded his first two CDs while still in college, prompting classmates to form the “Houli Fans,” a fan base that continues to grow on Facebook. He has performed

professionally in 32 states and the District of Columbia as well as in three other countries. Christopher Houlihan is a graduate of Trinity College in Connecticut. He received his master’s degree at The Juilliard School in New York where he studied with the Grammy Awardwinning organist Paul Jacobs. The Harrah Symphonic Organ was designed and built by Allen Harrah with the assistance of three local church members and with funding raised by the United Methodist Women. Since the dedication of the organ in September, 2003, the PipeSounds Board has been dedicated to inviting renowned, highly-trained organists to perform on the organ including David Hegarity from San Francisco who will make his sixth ap-

pearance this season, as well as Rodney Barbour who will perform for the fifth time in 2013. A total of thirty-two renowned artists have played the magnifi-

cent instrument awing audiences with music from Hollywood and Broadway, with Christmas and patriotic themes and thrilling scores for silent movies including "Phantom of the Opera", "Dr. Jeykell & Mr. Hyde" and "Ben-Hur". Houlihan will open the 20132014 Concert Series at Forrest Burdette Memorial United Methodist Church, 2848 Putnam Avenue, Hurricane. Admission is $10.00, adults; $5.00 students; children under five FREE! A reception will follow the performance to meet and greet Houlihan.

Putnam County Chamber of Commerce announces Partnership with Fruth Pharmacy The Putnam County Chamber of Commerce and Fruth Pharmacy are pleased to announce a partnership to benefit area employers and their employees. If you are an employer in Putnam County, you might be worried how this year’s flu will affect your workforce. On average, a worker will miss 4-5 days of work due to the flu. The Putnam Chamber of Commerce has partnered with Fruth Pharmacy in order to provide two different programs to enable employees to receive flu shot vaccinations. “In the fall, our pharmacies

begin to see an increase in our customers coming in with flu related symptoms,” Lynne Fruth, President and Chairman of the Board for Fruth Pharmacy stated. “We have partnered with Putnam’s Chamber of Commerce to bring employers two options to help their employees receive a flu vaccination this year.” Program One: Employer Paid Flu Shots A custom voucher is available to Chamber members to distribute to their employees. Businesses contact Ashley at the Putnam Chamber to request flu shot vouchers and to complete a short agreement that allows Fruth to provide the flu shots to employees and bill the employer. The Chamber will distribute the vouchers and the employer simply adds the employee's name and then distributes the card to employees. The employee can bring this card along with a photo ID to any of the local Fruth Pharmacies in Eleanor, Winfield, Scott Depot, or Hurricane to receive a flu shot. Once a month, Fruth will bill the business $20 per employee for the shots that have been administered. Billing will include employee’s name and date of service. Businesses are only billed for actual shots

administered. A one page agreement between the employer and Fruth Pharmacy will need to be signed prior to vouchers being distributed to employees. Program Two: Employee Discount Flu Shot Coupon Program Employers who do not feel they can provide free flu shots for employees can help obtain a discount coupon for their staff. The Putnam County Chamber Discount card will allow employees and all of their family members to receive a flu shot at a discounted price of $19.99 per shot. These discount coupons are available to all Putnam County Chamber Business members and can be obtained from Ashley at the Chamber. The employee simply needs to show the Putnam County Chamber Discount card at any local Fruth Pharmacy and receive the reduced price. This is a savings of $5.00-$15.00 based from the costs of last year’s flu shots. In addition to savings on flu shots, the Putnam Area Chamber of Commerce is also bringing a Prescription Savings Club card through Fruth Pharmacy to area employers and employees. The prescription card, is not insurance, but can help save the cardholder on the purchase of generic and brand medications. There is no cost to employees or employers to enroll. Employees present the card to a Fruth pharmacist the first time they have a prescription filled. The employee can enroll all eligible family members (spouse and children)

at that time. Some medications are $4 for 30-day supply or $10 for a 90-day supply. The generics list is updated once a month on Fruth Pharmacy’s website: www.fruthpharmacy.com. “The Chamber is excited about this partnership and the opportunities it presents our local employers. We hope that many of the employers in Putnam County will take advantage of these great savings for their employees,” Marty Chapman, President of Putnam Chamber of Commerce added. Please contact the Putnam Chamber of Commerce and request, either Program 1 or Program 2 flu cards for your business. Be sure to also request the Prescription Discount cards for your staff. The Putnam Chamber of Commerce has been an advocate for businesses for over 30 years. Now, over 500 member businesses strong, the Putnam Chamber of Commerce continues to encourage the community to shop locally. If you are interested in your business becoming a part of the Chamber of Commerce, please contact the Chamber at 304-7576510 or e-mail chamber@putnamcounty.org. Fruth Pharmacy is a locallyowned family business in both Ohio and West Virginia. There are four Fruth Pharmacies in Putnam County.

County Discusses Current Projects By Justin Waybright justin@theputnamstandard.com

WINFIELD - Commissioners took action to move county projects forward during a recent meeting. On Tuesday, county leaders set a date for a public hearing on Valley Park's TIF district. Future projects include resurfacing the pool and creating a master plan. "This is the first step in the process," said John Stump, lawyer with Steptoe and Johnson PLLC. "There's no debt anticipated here."

Commissioners to set a public hearing on the issue at 9:30 a.m. Oct. 8. Next, Kanawha-Charleston Health Department Administrator and Putnam Health Department Interim Administrator Lolita Kirk approached commissioners with a financial update. Kirk lined out some outstanding debts. One was a $20,000 bill for a website. "The Health Department owes $20,000 for a website?" asked Commissioner Steve Andes. "Yes," Kirk answered. "It's not a $20,000 website - we're working on getting it updated."

Putnam Health Department officials will move into their new building on Winfield Road Monday Sept. 16. Next, Putnam County Attorney Jennifer Scragg Karr shared a sheriff's personal request with commissioners. The proposal was originally discussed during the Aug. 27 commission meeting. The plan is designed to add three part-time civilian bailiffs to courtroom duty which will free up a deputy for patrol. "This proposal puts another deputy on the road," said Commissioner President Joe Haynes. "It's a no-brainer."

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens Faithfulness My Dad has a twin sister named Betty but she has since gone on to be with the Lord and so has her husband Thomas. Thomas and Betty were very faithful to the Lord and to their church on Charlies Creek Road in Culloden. I remember Thomas leading the singing in the church and he was always there. My cousin Patty played the piano and my Aunt Betty learned to play later in life. When we did attend church as children that is where we went. Our Sunday school teacher, Corella Freeman taught us about the love of Christ and what he did on the cross for us. I remember her as the very first Sunday school teacher I ever had. Most of us who were fortunate to have her should remember her and send her a card and say “thank you” for teaching us about Jesus. My sister Retha and my little sister Sue also went there. We went with Corella’s boys and the McCallister kids out that way. We all had a good time. There were the Beckett children and the Hagers and all the ones around at that time and we all went to school together. We had such good times and when August comes around I remember the homecoming dinners around the middle of the month. I usually see everyone there near my Great-Uncle Charlie's birthday which is August 18th. Uncle Charlie liked birthday cards but especially belated ones. He would send me a belated birthday card so his would stand out from all the others. Isn't it great to have fond memories of our childhoods and remember the people who were always at their posts? Think of all the people back then that were faithful to the Lord and others. I love the movie “It's a Wonderful life.” I usually watch it around Christmas time each year. The lesson learned from that movie is, you are someone special and you are important in this life. God has a plan for your life and if you had not been born the world would be a much sadder place. God does not make mistakes and every life is a life which should be lived for Him and others. I'm glad my aunt and uncle were faithful.

Be Informed, Make a Plan, Build a Kit, and Get Involved It is a time to prepare yourself and those in your care for emergencies and disasters. If you’ve seen the news recently, you know that emergencies can happen unexpectedly at any time in your community such as floods, power outages, and severe weather of all kinds. Police, fire and rescue may not always be able to reach you quickly in an emergency or disaster. The most important step you can take in helping your local responders is being able to take care of yourself and those in your care; the more people who are prepared, the quicker the community will recover. This September, please prepare and plan in the event you must go for three days without electricity,

water service, and access to a grocery store, bank, or other local services for several days. Just follow these four steps: Stay Informed: Information is available from federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial resources. Learn what to do before, during, and after an emergency go to: Ready.gov/be-informed Make a Plan: Discuss, agree on, and document an emergency plan with those in your care. For sample plans, see Ready.gov. Work together with neighbors, colleagues, and others to build community resilience. Ready.gov/make-a-plan Build a Kit: Keep enough emergency supplies - water, nonperishable food, first aid, prescriptions, flashlight, and battery-powered radio on hand - for you and those in your care. Ready.gov/build-a-kit Get Involved: There are many

ways to get involved especially before a disaster occurs. The whole community can participate in programs and activities to make their families, homes and places of worship safer from risks and threats. Community leaders agree that the formula for ensuring a safer homeland consists of volunteers, a trained and informed public, and increased support of emergency response agencies during disasters. Ready.gov/getinvolved Contact your local firehouse and ask for a tour and information about preparedness Get involved with your local American Red Cross Chapter or train with a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). By taking a few simple actions, you can make your family safer.

Gambling Addiction Treatment Group Offers Weekend Program CHARLESTON — The Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia is hosting a free weekend workshop for problem gamblers and their loved ones. The group, which operates the 1-800-GAMBLER helpline, has hosted this event for eight years. It will take place on Sept. 20-22 at the John XXIII Pastoral Center in Charleston. This weekend event is for anyone who is currently trying to stop gambling, or who has struggled with gambling addiction in the past. Participants will have a chance to meet with other people from around the state who have struggled with this addiction. Several gambling addiction counselors will be available for individual

consultations. One of the featured speakers will be Nigel Turner, internationally acclaimed slot machine expert who specializes in helping people who are addicted to electronic gaming machines. Arnie Wexler, recovering compulsive gambler, author, and expert on gambling addiction, will offer a session on repairing relationships damaged by gambling. Warren Biller, who recently celebrated 20 years of being gambling-free, will lead self-help groups throughout the weekend. Patty Deutsch, program director for The Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia, says the event offers an unusual opportunity for problem gam-

blers in the state. Deutsch says, “We bring in some of the most well-known treatment specialists in the country and give participants free access to their expertise. There is also tremendous value in just getting to know other people from across the state who are dealing with the same addiction.” She says they offer the function on the weekend for participant convenience, and that the Pastoral Center was chosen for its serene setting. Space is limited and preregistration is required. Private rooms will be provided for each person or couple. To learn more, contact Patty Deutsch at 304-344-2213 or email Patty@1stchs.com.
