WINFIELD – In a showdown of potential Class AAA playoff teams, the Point Pleasant Big Blacks used a fourth quarter rally to defeat the Winfield Generals 18-13 Friday night in Winfield. Point Pleasant entered the game ranked No. 7 in the latest Class AAA football rankings, while Winfield was tied for No. 16. The top 16 teams in each class qualify for post season play. Point Pleasant struck first on the evening when quarterback Aden Yates dove in from two yards out for a touchdown as the first quarter was winding down. Winfield's defense blocked the extra point, making the score 60. The Generals answered with a scoring drive of their own as Winfield quarterback Toby Show hit receiver Kris Turner on a 21-yard touchdown pass. With the extra point, Winfield went up 7-6, and carried that lead into the locker room at halftime. The third quarter saw both

Meeting set to discuss farm-to-school program SUBMITTED ARTICLE WINFIELD -- A meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27, at the Putnam County Courthouse to discuss the Farm to School program. Farmers and Youth Group Leaders are encouraged to attend. The objective of the program is to promote student consumption of produce and meat from local farmers in local

school cafeterias. According to the West Virginia University Extension Service, incorporating locally-grown, farm fresh produce as part of a school nutrition program creates a relationship that positively impacts farms, schools and students. The program is also designed to stimulate interest in local youth to grow food and supply

school cafeterias with nutritious food. When schools purchase food from farmers and school youth groups (including from local FFA and 4-H groups) it helps support the local economy while providing higher quality food to students. Each of the student groups participating in the project will work with their local farmers, teachers/leaders and Extension

personnel to learn how to: .) grow produce or meat to sell to their school cafeterias, 2.) keep records and determine the costs of production (using 4-H project books or FFA SAE reports), and 3.) learn management practices to provide a quality product in a timely fashion. For more information call the WVU Extension Office at (304) 586-0217.

Attorney General warns of scam targeting travelers By Chris Dickerson www.wvrecord.com

CHARLESTON - West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw is warning travelers to be on guard due to a scam making an increased appearance in the hospitality industry. Travelers are experiencing convincing calls from scammers attempting to obtain credit card information. This scam is targeting guests

staying in hotel rooms. Individuals receive a telephone call from the thief who claims to be an employee of the hotel. Guests are being told that their personal information was not processed correctly and the credit card number needs to be given again to fix the problem. To accurately complete the transaction, hotel visitors are being tricked into revealing their credit card number and other personal information.

It has been reported by the Alabama Department of Corrections Security Threat Group that in some instances the scam artists are inmates and there has been one arrest related to this illegal activity. If the scammer successfully receives all the necessary information from the hotel guest, he proceeds by either forwarding the information to an outsider to deposit the money into the inmate's account, or the in-

mate makes the transaction himself using a smuggled cell phone. McGraw encourages travelers and consumers to never give out personal information over the telephone. In this particular situation, a guest should first refrain from providing such information and should instead make a trip to the front lobby desk to ask about the problem. "Scammers will do and say

anything to trick consumers into giving personal information over the telephone," McGraw said in a statement. "In fact, when the situation presents itself, it is best to withhold this information and follow up by calling back or making a visit to an office for clarification." This scam has been reported at various hotels across West Virginia and surrounding states.

West Virginia State science convocation set for Tuesday SUBMITTED ARTICLE INSTITUTE – Dr. Claudia Rankins, a physicist nationally known for her work with the structure of atomic particles, will be the featured speaker for West Virginia State University’s College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics convocation Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 12:30 p.m., WVSU Hamblin Hall auditorium. The audience will benefit from her experience as a scientist and educator, as well as her perspective as Program Officer in the Directorate for Education and Human Resources at the National Science Foundation (NSF). Rankins manages the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU-

UP) that provides awards to enhance Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education and research at HBCUs, such as WVSU. Since 1998, Rankins has secured more than $10 million in external grants that supported precollege activities as well as undergraduate education and research in STEM. Rankins also manages the Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program which provides a substantial source of federal support for research in minority-serving institutions. By facilitating research projects in the STEM disciplines, the goal of CREST is to build research

competitiveness among institutions and recruit students of diverse backgrounds in to STEM study and STEM-based career. Her remarks will address pathways to graduate school or a career in Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) areas. She will focus on the vital role that Historically Black Colleges and Universities play in successfully preparing undergraduate students in STEM majors for graduate school and for the workforce. Secondly, Rankins will present strategies she has used in her personal experience as a mathematics and physics, professor, a department chair and a dean.

These strtegies focus on what students can do to successfully prepare for their next step - college, graduate school, professional school or entry into the workforce in STEM areas. Prior to her post with the NSF, Rankins served at Hampton University for 22 years as an endowed university professor, chair of the Department of Physics, assistant dean for research, and dean of the School of Science. Her formal education includes military training, certification as a translator and interpreter for German, French and English, a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from Christopher Newport University, a Master of Science in Statistics from Old

Dominion University, a Master of Science in Physics, and a doctorate in Physics both from Hampton University. Her current research interests focus on the underrepresentation of women faculty of color in STEM disciplines in higher education. According to statistics from the National Science Foundation, minority women, collectively, make up only 10.6% of all the recipients of Bachelor's degrees in the STEM disciplines. This percentage falls quickly at the Master's and doctoral levels to 7.1% and 5.4%, respectively. The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics fall convocation is open to the public.

Habitat for Humanity keeping office hours at Putnam Library By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

HURRICANE – In another sign of its commitment to building homes in Putnam County, Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam will begin keeping office hours at the Putnam County Library. Lori Wyatt, homeownership director for the organization, will keep office hours at the li-

brary on Wednesdays from 12:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. to meet with prospective applicants. Potential applicants should call ahead to schedule a time to meet with Wyatt. She may be reached directly at 304-7200141, ext 12. Recently, Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam completed its first home build in Putnam County since 2004. That home is located on Mon-

tana Avenue in Hurricane. It was the 149th home built by the organization since it began in 1988. Ken Adams, development director of the organization, said that with the home's completion, there has been a great deal of interest from people in Putnam County. “Since then (the home's completion), we have been getting calls from people asking about

our organization and how it works,” Adams said. “The establishment of a satellite location here in Putnam is a way for us to help remove that barrier of geography and continue with our efforts to best serve those living in need.” Earlier this year, Habitat for Humanity of Kanawha and Putnam, placed a renewed interest in building homes in Putnam County with a goal to build 10

homes in the county by 2016. To be approved for a Habitat for Humanity home, a family must have income between 30 percent and 70 percent of the area median, be living in substandard conditions and willing to partner by helping to build their own home. For more information contact the organization at 304or visit 720-0141, http://hfhkp.org.

Creation of Business Court draws positive reviews By Chris Dickerson www.wvrecord.com

CHARLESTON - The state Supreme Court's creation of a new Business Court Division is drawing positive reviews across the board. House Speaker Rick Thompson was at the Sept. 11 press conference when Justice Robin Jean Davis unveiled the plan and the rules that will govern the division once it starts Oct. 10. Thompson, D-Wayne, has been pushing for the creation of such a court for four years. "I think a separate business docket focusing on resolving commercial litigation will make our state a much more welcoming environment for businesses and assist circuit judges in managing these often complex cases," Thompson said. He first proposed the idea of a business court in 2008. In 2010, the Legislature adopted House Bill 4352, which allowed the Court to establish a business court within the existing circuit court system. He said he sought this legislation after learning about Delaware's business court, also known as a "Court of Chancery," which dates back two centuries. "Delaware's Chancery Court is known nationally for efficient handling of commercial law and complex litigation between businesses, and it is no coincidence that Delaware is home to a very large percentage of Fortune 500 companies," Thompson said. "I am grateful to all the justices for moving this initiative forward, to Judge Darrell

Pratt for leading a thorough examination of potential issues surrounding business litigation and to Justice Robin Davis for developing rules to facilitate a just and efficient process for these unique cases. "This sends a powerful message to the business community that this state is business friendly." The president of the West Virginia Chamber of Commerce agreed. "We're supportive of the creation of the business court," Steve Roberts said. "We appreciate that the Supreme Court recognizes that some business issues are very complex and require a specialized knowledge about certain issues, such as taxes, technology, copyright and patent issues. "From my point of view, we're hopeful that this combination of changes - the business court and the recent changes in appellate review -- will help. We still want an intermediate appellate court. This isn't everything we wanted, but it's a positive change. The change of appellate rules and the creation of the business court, to us, stack up as positive announcements." The president of the West Virginia Association for Justice called the business court an important and needed addition to the state's civil justice system. "Research from the National Center for State Courts shows that business versus business litigation has risen steadily for three decades," Scott Blass said. "Today, more than 50 percent of all civil cases nationally involve

contract disputes between businesses, and nearly onethird of all tort cases involve cases between business interests. "West Virginia's new business court will allow these cases, which often include complex and very technical issues, to be handled efficiently and fairly. It will also play a critical role in protecting West Virginia businesses when they are wronged by larger corporations that violate contracts, steal trade secrets or otherwise compete unfairly." The president of the Defense Trial Counsel of West Virginia also hailed the new creation. "We applaud the efforts of the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals in establishing the Busienss Court Division," said Michael Cimino, an attorney at Jackson Kelly in Charleston. "Obviously, it's a new concept. We are hopeful that the Business Court Division will provide a consistency in decisions on key issues and efficiency of the procedural process. "The idea behind the concept that the judges will receive special training will make them experts in these types of issues. That can only be a good thing for all parties involved."

The managing member of Steptoe & Johnson's Martinsburg office is happy that the new court will be headquartered in her city. "We are pleased that the Supreme Court has selected Martinsburg for the location of the Business Court Division," Bridget Cohee said. "Our attorneys in Martinsburg offer both business litigation services to our clients and mediation services for parties looking for alternative ways to resolve disputes. "The addition of the Business Court Division here allows clients across the state and region to more efficiently handle business litigation matters, and our Martinsburg office is conveniently located to provide both legal services in the Business Court Division and to host alternative dispute resolution for non-clients." The executive director of West Virginia Citizens Against Lawsuit Abuse said the creation of the business court is a good step, but he still wants more to be done to fix problems in the state's legal system. "While the Supreme Court's business court proposal is certainly admirable and the judges initially appointed are high quality picks, it really does nothing to address the prob-

lems most cited as needing fixed in West Virginia's legal system," Richie Heath said. "West Virginia's insufficient appeals process -- and in particular our state's lack of an intermediate appeals court -- is most frequently cited as the critical problem needing fixed. "In fact, West Virginia was just recently ranked by the Institute for Legal Reform as having the worst legal climate in the nation in large part because of our current appeals process, and not the lack of any sort of business courts." Heath said the business court will provide a useful mechanism for dealing with unique and complex business litigation. "But the proposal does little to address the numerous areas of law in which West Virginia finds itself outside of the national legal mainstream," he said. "Given their limited application, the mere presence of business courts won't likely put to rest the fears that many businesses currently have of West Virginia's legal climate. "In order to truly improve the battered reputation of our state legal climate, we will need to address the real problems currently plaguing our state courts.â&#x20AC;?

GERALD "SORRY" WILKINSON Gerald "Sorry" Wilkinson, 85, of Hometown, departed this life on September 14, 2012, at home after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He was born April 23, 1927, and was the son of the late Wilford and Amy Deal Wilkinson. He was preceded in death by his beloved wife, Loretta Slater Wilkinson, as well as his sister, Wanda Avanelle Wolfe, and his brothers, John, David and Tommy Wilkinson. Left to cherish his memory is his sisters, Blondell Dixon, Ruth King and Mary Sue Jividen, and his brothers, Frank and Larry Wilkinson. He also had numerous nieces and nephews who will miss him greatly. Gerald was a loving and dedicated husband to his wife of 63 years, Loretta; she was his best friend and his world. Although he had no children of his own, he was a devoted father figure to his younger brother, Larry, after they tragically lost their father when Gerald was 18 and Larry was only two. Gerald worked 35 years at the American Viscose Corp. in Nitro, but even after his retirement he never stopped working. He had a talent for repairing small engines, and there wasn't a carburetor he couldn't fix. He owned a lawnmower repair business and worked up to seven days a week until just a few months before he passed. He will forever be remembered for his love and devotion to God's creatures. He loved animals, but he particularly loved his blue martins. He built and maintained six blue martin houses on his property. Any time a baby martin fell out of the nest, he would attach it to a long pole and gently place it back. Each year the martins returned to the houses where they knew they would be safe and cared for. A tribute to the life of Mr. Gerald Wilkinson was held Monday, September 17, at Tyler Mountain Memory Gardens Mausoleum Chapel. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.hardingfamilygroup.com.
