CAMC hopes to become smoke-free

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com CAMC Teays Valley is going smoke-free – as soon as hospital administrators find a safe way to do so.

Dale Witte, CAMC marketing director, said while it is important for the hospital to provide a good, smoke-free example, it is more important to ensure that those who continue to smoke aren’t subjected to oncoming traffic.

“As a health care provider, we want to set an example,” he said. “We would just like to be tobaccofree on hospital property. It just doesn’t have a safe way to do it.

“At Teays Valley Hospital the property ends right where Hospital Drive begins. So to be off hospital property, you’d be in the middle of a road.”

So far, the hospital has tried to get another entity to own the current designated smoking areas in order to maintain safe spaces while technically being off of hospital grounds. However, both the Putnam County Commission and the Putnam County Development Authority have been unable to undertake the project.

Drew Dunlap, executive director for the Putnam County Development Authority, said CAMC first approached the commission, but was hindered by See CAMC, Page 8

Center prepares students for careers

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

Clayton Cook, of Poca, returned to Putnam County Career and Technical Center after high school to enroll in their carpentry program.

The Putnam Career and Technical Center was one of three technical centers in the state to be named a premier center – a prestigious award based on student achievement, performance assessments, completion percentage and placement percentage.

The center, with 20 programs and 300 graduates last year, has a 97 percent placement rate for higher education and employment.

“Our job is primarily making the student either college or career ready,” said Principal Mike Erwin. “A student will excel here if they like the application of what they’re learning, truly engaged learning. It’s that student that wants a real world experience in their education process. Those types of students will do well here.”

Poca gets new leadership, reflects on the past

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com

Poca Mayor Jim Caruthers will work with incoming Poca Mayor William “Wimpy” Jones. His term begins on Jan. 1, 2015.

Current Poca Mayor Jim Caruthers has deep roots in the town of Poca dating back to when his father was a charter councilman for the town in 1958. Now, at the age of 69, Caruthers is ready to step down and pass the torch on to current councilman William “Wimpy” Jones.

Jones recently defeated Mike

Potter in the Putnam County general election and has served on the Poca Town Council for the past three years. He received 199 of nearly 300 votes casted, which is five times the normal voter turnout than usual.

In comparison, Caruthers said when he ran and was elected in 1996, about 66 people turned out.

“I’m looking forward to working with the council,” Jones said.

“I’m going to keep it the same way

Mayor Caruthers has it now. The council is great. It’s a strong council, that’s what we have and that’s what we need to get things done.

“I haven’t had a problem with one person on the council and if somebody needs something done and I can’t do it that day, then someone else steps up and does it for me.”

Jones said he plans to keep pace on the current projects which See Poca, Page 6

Winfield boys basketball ready for the season

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com The Winfield boys basketball program has a new man at the helm.

Coach Bryan England will guide the Generals for the first time in 2014-15.

The story throughout preseason practice has been the size the Generals expect to have when they open the season at Nitro on Dec. 9 at 7:30 p.m.

“We’re probably looking at about four guys over 6-2,” England said. “That’s size for us. We haven’t had that in a while and it’s a good thing to have because rebounding was a struggle of ours last year. If you win the battle on the boards more times than not you’re going to win the game.”

The Generals, 14-11 last year, expect to lean on senior shooting guard Bear Bellomy who led the team in scoring, averaging 20 points per-game. After Bellomy, Winfield is without any other returning player that averaged more than 3 points per game. The

Generals have lost nearly 45 points per game from last season’s squad, England said.

But early indications seem to be that new faces are meshing well with more experienced ones.

“I really feel like everyone’s buying in and giving 110 percent,” said senior Bear Bellomy. “If everyone does what coach tells them to do and fights for the person next to them, it’s a brotherhood here and we’re all buying in.”

Junior Casey Frye will run the show at point guard. Frye has put together the best off-season since he’s been at Winfield and has worked extremely hard on his craft, England said.

Senior guard Heath Diehl will play the 3 spot. Hurricane senior transfer Alex Osburn will play the 4-guard spot and sophomore Tate Hancock will play forward. Hancock is relatively inexperienced, but is mentally and physically mature for his age.

Freshman Andrew Huff will log minutes off the bench and provide depth, but the top 10 spots are very

wide open heading into the season, England said.

“I never make absolute statements this early because guys can work ahead of others,” England said. “We have a lot of time between now and sectionals to figure things out.”

England held back on handing the team practice jerseys out because he expects everything in the program to be earned.

“You don’t just get that Winfield practice jersey,” England said.

“That’s something to be proud of and you have to earn it. This generation can be viewed as an entitled one. We don’t want that to be the case here and so far the guys have proved they want to work.”

Above all, England says he’s a “wins guy” and expects his players to pay attention to detail on offense and defense. The Generals will take to the road for their first five games of the season before playing host to Princeton on Jan. 2.

“We’re in the MSAC and there’s not a week you can take off,” England said. “We’re just going to have

new faces is in the works. Taking over the head coaching position is longtime softball coach Chuck Slater, who spent the past three seasons as an assistant coach at Hurricane before taking over the Winfield girls program.

The team is low on numbers with only four returning players.

Slater said it isn’t anything he hasn’t dealt with in the past, however. Slater coached at Teays Valley Christian where seven or eight kids made up the entire team, he said.

“We have about seven kids that are athletic and skilled enough to play basketball,” he said. “Sophomore Madison Turley, she’s got the athletic ability, but she needs to work on her basketball skills.

She’s got the desire to do it and

she’s trying to.

“We can rotate with seven or eight kids as long as no one gets hurt. We can be competitive in that respect.”

Sophomore Rachel Kraschnewski returns as well as seniors Haylea Roberson and Cheyenne Sawyers.

The three players will provide experience and are expected to pace the Winfield attack.

“All three of those girls are basically the top three and we have another four kids, mostly ninth graders, who are interchangeable and athletic and try hard,” Slater said. “We’ll just sub them in and out and keep them fresh and just do the best we can.”

This season, the team is expecting sophomore Megan Cavender

and freshman Sydney Cavender to step into important roles and show what they can contribute to the team, Kraschnewski said.

“Usually, the freshmen have more time to prepare themselves, but this year they’ll need to step up quickly,” Sawyers said. “They normally get some JV experience beforehand, but this year they’re going to go straight into varsity.”

The Lady Generals continue to work on offensive plays against man defenses to prepare for their opponents, as well as full-court versus man and sideline plays, Slater said.

“We’re trying to gradually incorporate as we go, so we’re trying to get comfortable with what we’re doing before going to the next phase, but overall they’re trying real hard,” he said. “If the girls just try and improve their skills in practice and then play as a team and compete as a team, then as the season goes on we’ll try to improve.

“Hopefully toward the end of the season we’ll be able to be competitive against our section opponents and we’ll go from there.”

Slater said he knows MSAC teams and just from looking at the schedule he thinks the Lady Generals will be competitive, but everything depends on staying healthy with the low numbers.

“I’m hoping to get to regionals,” Kraschnewski said. “It just all depends on how the season goes and how our attitude shapes up.”

Slater said he’s taking the cartoon character Bullwinkle’s approach, who often said “I do the best I can with tools I have.”

Winfield opens the season at Point Pleasant at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 4.

Winfield wrestling team looks to repeat success

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Winfield wrestling coach Mike Cochran begins his ninth season in charge of the Generals on the mat.

He will do so with two-time state champion senior Bryce Humphreys leading the way.

Humphreys went 57-0 last season, tying the all-time wins record.

Humphreys took the title after beating Huntington’s Chase Childers in the championship match and was one of three class AAA wrestlers to finish the season without a loss.

This season, the Generals will look to all three experienced senior wrestlers to lead them – the aforementioned Humphreys, as well as seniors Evan Fairchild and Noah Julian.

“We have some really good seniors and a really good class of freshmen,” Cochran said. “We only have three guys that have

never wrestled in their entire life, everyone else on the team has some experience.”

The Generals will have a competitive schedule like always, Cochran said. Including a trip to the West Virginia Army National Guard wrestling tournament.

“We’re not traveling as far as we used to being so young this year,” Cochran said. “It’s still going to be a pretty competitive schedule, though.”

Senior Noah Julian said he’s looking forward to the Putnam County Championship as well, which will be considered senior night.

“I think we’ll be pretty good this year,” Julian said. “We have a lot of experience coming back from last year. We have three returning state qualifiers and possibly more this year so, I think we’ll be pretty good.”

The Generals had a lot of guys

that went to the state tournament last year, Cochran said. But they were one match away from placing. Now the team is hoping they can get Humphreys, Fairchild and Julian to place and have a few others get the right draw and go out on a positive note.

“Last season we did well, but we didn’t finish as well as we wanted to,” Cochran said. “We came within one match of placing more guys.”

Winfield has the potential to be a top 10 team in the state, Cochran said.

“Anything can happen,” he said.

“Every one of them has beaten some really good guys in the past.

I’m cautiously optimistic because we have some young guys, but they have a lot of potential.

“I’m not sure how things stack up around the area or how we fit in the mix, but the younger guys are going to have to step up. That’s a

Teays Valley boys continue the battle for the crown

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Coach Jody Sowards has built a legacy of success in the Teays Valley boys basketball program during the past four years.

He helped turn a 6-13 season into a 21-9 in 2011-12. His expectations for this year remain the same: promote leadership.

“Leadership is key to the program,” he said. “After leadership and team chemistry, everything else takes care of itself.”

Last season the Lions had three

players with a 10-point or more average per game. Two of these three players, Jace Heller and Zack Moore were seniors and have since moved on, leaving a gap. Heller ended his high school career as a 1,000 point playmaker.

“Heller scored in every game and was a great point guard,” Sowards said. “He was a very good shooter. Moore was a very dominate inside force. He was 6-foot-4 and strong and was my go to guy inside.”

Despite losing these powerhouses, Sowards said he knows he

has good players stepping up. One is the third 10 point average player from last year, Parker D’Antoni, nephew to Marshall mens basketball coach, Dan D’Antoni.

Parker D’Antoni averaged 11.2 points per game and scored 291 points last season as a sophomore.

“He has basketball genes,” Sowards said. “He’s just a junior and he’s a very quick shooter. He makes good jump shots and is one of our captains.”

Shane Estep has Soward’s con-

fidence when it comes to filling the hole left by Heller.

“He’s filling the role of Heller pretty well,” Sowards said. “He is a great shooter.”

Sowards said he believes the key to his team’s success will be in their speed and their ability to find the bucket on the run.

“We’ve got quickness and shooting,” he said. “We have very good shooters who are passionate about the game and aggressive. I’m really looking forward to this season with

them. We’re going to have pretty strong guard play, too.”

His call to arms does not sound like the normal battle cry. He reminds his team it’s not about every win or going undefeated, but about how the team grows as the season progresses.

“In the end, success is made through the season,” he said. “It’s all about respect. I respect them and they respect me and that build strong teams.”

The Redskins open with crosscounty rival, Winfield on Saturday, Dec. 13 followed by an away game at Capital on Dec. 16. The team will also participate in the South Charleston tournament on Dec. 26 and 27.

In the two previous contests against the South Charleston Black Eagles, the Redskins lost the first game 74-62 but a trip to the first round of playoffs introduced a little vengeance into the mix when Hurricane annihilated them 63-47.

These games along with 2015 games against Spring Valley, George Washington and Huntington will help prepare the Redskins for another run in the postseason in March.

Lady Redskins have high hopes for basketball season

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Coach Austin Lowe knows that bringing back strong players is the first step in a successful basketball season.

The second step is to have a winning season and make it deeper in postseason play. This year the Hurricane High School girls basketball team plans to do both.

The Lady Redskins bring back a multitude of players that work hard to get the job done.

“We lost one starting senior and another that played for us but we got four starters back,” Lowe said. “Everybody is getting into the system and knows the offense.

It’s catching up where we left off last year that we’re working on.”

Senior Abby Watson, who recently signed with the Univer-

sity of Charleston to play for the Golden Eagles, will be one of the team leaders.

“I expect more of Abby than I ever have to be honest with you,” Lowe said.

Lowe said Watson would be important but the girls have more go to weapons this year that could spell trouble for anyone trying to step to the Redskins.

“She has a little bit of help to go along with her this year,” he said.

“We got some other options that can score a basket. Hopefully that will free her up and she won’t see all of the double teams. She’s gave us a lot in the last three years.”

Mary Rogoszewski, a freshman, will be a good player this year, he said.

“Maddy Weaks, who transferred from Scott, will also get some good playing time,” Lowe said.

“Hannah Thompson is back along with Kayla Wooten who both saw significant minutes last year.”

Lowe said he expects the team to go further into postseason given a crowd of experienced starters.

Last year, the Redskins finished 12-12 an improvement from the 2012-2013 season of 6-17.

The Lady Redskins lost to the St. Albans Red Dragons in sectionals. Lowe said he believes the team is moving in the right direction.

“Practices are a lot more competitive and that makes the team better than it has been in the past,” Lowe said. “We’re going to run and that will be our success. We will play defense and run to transition into offense.

“We got a lot of speed and we’re not going to do well rebounding so we have to do a lot on defense and transition.”

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Losing six players is a difficult thing to overcome for any basketball team but when it happens in a small program, the results are more devastating.

Teays Valley Christian girls are a brand new team this year, starting four freshman, one junior and senior and an eighth grader, said head coach Tim Bailey.

“We are so young this year,” he said. “We lost five seniors and one player that transferred. It’s tough to lose six kids anywhere but we will be starting seven girls. Six out of seven is a lot to cover for.”

Bailey has a plan for his team, though. In his second year as coach,

he knows how to spot the talents of the girls he does have.

“We have one freshman, Alisha Kiser, who is very athletic,” he said. “She is just a good floor leader. She shoots well and battles for the ball strongly. If I tell her to get the rebound, she’ll get the rebound.”

Olivia Hill is the only senior on the team and did not play last season but Bailey said he has confidence in her shooting ability.

“When Olivia gets the ball, she shoots light out,” he said.

Kiser is among the four freshmen on the roster, and one of three that are starting. Abby Adams, Emily Hatfield and Holly Edwards complete the list along with the junior Paige Williams and eighth-

grader Sarah Kiser. These six girls will follow the lead of Hill as she takes on the role of team captain this season.

Unfortunately for the Lions, one player will sit the bench for the first two weeks of play due to injury.

With only six players, and most of them very young, Bailey said there are definitive issues to work out this year.

“I think our team as a whole is young,” he said. “With starting three freshmen, you don’t want them to be overwhelmed. There are 13- and 14-year-olds that will be playing a lot of 17- and 18-yearolds so the key is to get them to adjust to playing the stronger and faster girls. The transition from middle school to high school can

be tough but I think we’ll be OK.” Despite the age differences between his team and the scheduled opponents, Bailey said he has faith in his team and believes in their abilities.

“They are all good players,” he said. “All seven of them bring something to the table whether it’s

shooting, defense, quickness, all bring something with them. We may be small but we know other schools are in the same boat.”

The Lions opened the season against Grace Christian on Tuesday, Dec. 3. The first home game will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 16.

Hurricane swim team plans to break records

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Hurricane’s swim teams performed well at the state level of competition last year with both boys and girls each earning fourth place and swim coach Kathi Shurow said she believes the Redskins can do it again.

“We did very, very, very well last year,” Shurow said. “We did not have a lot of year-round swimmers like you’ll find at other schools, but we did very well anyway. We’ve lost three seniors but those who stayed are ready to come back and get to practice.”

One of those seniors was Shurow’s son, Zach, who won the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 59.22. Zach Shurow was also on the winning 200-yard freestyle relay with Austin Harper, Quin Shurow and Luke Earls.

The foursome finished their race in 1:41.54, a second difference from second place.

“It was nice to come in fourth,” Shurow said. “We wished for higher, though. We would get in the top two or three in local meets all season.”

Fortunately for Shurow and the swim team, Madisyn Lyons, a senior, is returning to reignite the water with her speed and win another blue ribbon or two. Last year, Lyons made the all-tournament team and won the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 5:12.60.

She also finished third in the 200 Individual Medley and joined the 200-yard medley relay team with a third place finish alongside Alexia Assi, Claire Coleman and Allison Clay. Lyons also helped the 400yard freestyle relay team realize fourth place with Coleman, Assi and Taylor Haney.

“She likes doing the long distances,” Shurow said.

This season Shurow hopes to get more involvement from the students at Hurricane.

“Anyone who is willing to practice and come back can participate,” she said. “Random swimmers make up most of the team. We get year-round swimmers, athletes and kids who just want to a part of a sport.

“Anyone who is willing can participate.”

Shurow said her team is made up of approximately 32 people and there is room on the roster to add more.

The swim team began their season on Saturday, Nov. 29 at the Thanksgiving Invitational at Marshall University. The next meets are at the Tri County YMCA in Teays Valley Saturday, Dec. 6 and Tuesday, Dec. 16.

Hurricane wrestling team ready to beat down 2014-15 season

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Redskins Wrestling Coach Lee Cummings is ready for a new season and is ready to teach a young team everything he knows.

“We lost three seniors, had two kids move and have two kids that just aren’t wrestling this year,” Cummings said. “We’re returning a young team with two juniors and a senior that has never wrestled before.”

Two of the seniors, Mitchell Fitzgerald and Jeremy Francis, participated in the state tournament and have now graduate from the team. Also freshman Dylan Lucas transferred to Buffalo and will join the Bison team.

This would seem stressful to any other coach but when asked if the young crew would make things difficult for the competing wrestling teams, Cummings exuded confidence in his boys.

“We’ll do pretty well,” he said.

“We’re going to be okay. I’m

alright with what we have and I have no doubt these boys can get the job done.”

Cummings said his strength may not be in the experience of the team, but it comes from the kids’ determination to succeed.

“We have some tough kids,” he said. “They’re working really hard but their dedication in practice has shown their true strength. Their work ethic, their discipline, will help us get the job done this year.”

Fitzgerald was the only of the four qualifiers to win a match, defeating Evan Roberts from Greenbrier East with a pin at 39 seconds. He fell to Preston Wise from Brooke before his win and lost in a 2-1 decision to Freddy Roush from Ripley in the second consolation round. He ended his season with a 23-14 record.

The other seniors lost their first and second matches in a mixture of decisions. The team celebrated sending their four to the state tournament, however. Alec Nida finished with a final record of 30-20

Poca girls basketball has numbers, looks to build

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Coming off of a 7-15 campaign a year ago, the Lady Dots return plenty of experience in the form of sophomore point guard Casey Skeens, who averaged 10 points per game as a freshman. Also, returning are seniors Kendal Sayre and McKenzie Ball.

The three will form a solid nucleus as Poca moves forward throughout season.

“I’m really excited about the group of girls we have this year,” the sophomore said. “This year we have more depth. We have a lot of girls who can come off the bench and create for us.”

The main theme throughout preseason practice has been the overall depth the Dots should have, which is something third-year Poca coach Kenny Sayre said he hasn’t seen in quite some time.

“One thing you see is numbers,” Sayre said. “We haven’t had that in a long time. This is the first time we’re going to have a JV in years.

I can’t remember the last time I had a JV here to be honest.

“I’m really happy about that.”

Poca From Page 1 Mayor Caruthers has in progress and said he doesn’t want to look back and let anything go to waste.

He’d also like to improve Poca’s Railroad Park with new playground equipment and help local fishermen.

“We’re looking to get grants for a fishing pier,” Jones said. “We’re trying to make a place for people to fish at and we want to keep the boat launch up to par for all the boaters to use. I have some big shoes to fill.”

Currently, Poca has a few empty commercial buildings in the town which Jones said he would also like to see filled, especially on the Poca side of the river.

Due to the high number of players, Sayre said he’s seen an influx of good freshman players, so he’s not sure who he’s going to start with four or five girls vying for positions.

“There are a lot of good freshmen coming in, so they’re going to have to step up and help us out this year,” he said. “We’ll be young and we won’t have much size, but one thing we’ll have this year is depth, which we haven’t had in the past.

We might go nine deep and maybe even ten. I’m not afraid to put some of the girls in that are back from last year, so that will really help out.”

Also returning from last year’s team is junior Beth Jackson and sophomore Sarah Fisher, who will provide solid depth.

“We have four freshmen who will come in and play varsity for us,” Skeens said. “One who will start, I believe, is Aubrey Chandler. She’s a great addition. She’s can handle the ball, shoot outside and inside. She’s a bigger body, so we’re able to go inside with her.”

Freshman Molly Collins is expected to be one of the first players off the bench and is a very capable outside shooter as well,

Skeens said.

Last year, Poca upset Nicholas County in the first round of sectional play before falling to Sissonville.

“We’re still an underdog in this section,” Sayre said. “We still have Sissonville and Clay that are going to be the top dogs, then there’s Herbert Hoover, Nicholas County and us.”

As for starting young players, Sayre said one or even two might crack the starting lineup.

“I’ll probably end up starting a freshmen, maybe even two freshman, you never know,” he said.

“I’ll probably go as my freshmen go this year.”

Sayre said fellow coaches always say they hope to be better and he does as well. He expects the Dots to be improved, but is taking the wait-and-see approach. It’s a long season and you never know about injuries, he said.

The Dots opened up play at Nitro on Dec. 2 and will play at 7 p.m. at Buffalo on Friday, Dec. 5.

Skeens is already setting the bar high for this year’s squad.

“I expect to win our first sectional game, but my ultimate goal,

obviously, is to make the state tournament,” she said. “But to go to Sissonville and beat them in the sectional and then to head to Herbert Hoover and beat them in

the regional and make it to states… that’s the goal. I think we’ll give a lot of people a run for their money this year.”

“I’d like to get some business on this side,” Jones said. “It seems like everyone wants to be on the other side of the river. I think I counted three empty commercial buildings.

We’d like to get them where they’d be useful for us.”

Caruthers said Jones also has an extensive background with little league baseball and is on a first name basis with several people in the school system, which will only help Poca in the long run.

“He’s in this building more than I am and he’s hands on, so I’m very happy he’s taking over,” Caruthers said. “I really had a good three years as mayor. The town was very lucky. We had three school construction projects going on at basically the same time - the

high school, the middle and grade school.”

Even though Caruthers said it was a headache for the council to deal with complaints because of the mud caused by the construction going on at the schools, he’s very pleased with the outcome.

“There were delegations and petitions, which really wanted us to dog the school board about it,” he said. “Actually, we have very little authority over the school board.

They don’t have to go by any of the county planning regulations.

“We couldn’t make them do a thing, but we worked with them and Councilman Jones, who lives in that neighborhood. “He and I met with them several times and got some concessions or some things done the way we wanted.”

When all was said and done with the construction it was a very good job, Caruthers said. Poca took in a considerable amount of business and occupation taxes, which is far more than the town normally would have brought in and, as a result,

some additional funds were available which allowed for numerous projects to come to fruition; most notably, the improvement of the 30-year-old sewer system.

“We’ve been having a lot of problems with that and a lot of leakage and infiltration,” Caruthers said. “We spent about $1.2 million on sewer upgrades.”

A grant through Congresswoman Shelley Capito and the Army Core of Engineers totaling $800,000 assisted the project.

“The mayor is automatically the sewer chairman, but to do all this construction we had an awful lot of right-a-way’s we had to obtain.

I had to spend a lot of time out in the field doing that, but we got that done in the winter and it tore up a third of the town.”

Complaints rolled in, but the project resulted in a better and more efficient sewer system and has already seen a tremendous amount of upgrade, Caruthers said.

The town of Poca has also seen dilapidated lumber signs turned

into aesthetically pleasing stone welcome signs. The project, which took about two years to complete, was funded by Poca resident Kurt Higginbotham, who gave a personal grant of $10,000 to build the signs.

“We now have two very nice stone signs that we’ve received a lot of very positive remarks on,” Caruthers said. “It took quite a while to get everything done, but it got taken care of.”

Also during Caruthers tenure, about $50,000 worth of sidewalk repairs were completed with council support, he said.

“We also did a $200,000 street upgrade, so we repaired a lot of streets in town,” Caruthers said.

“We still have some to do, but concrete work was done all over town.

There were street repairs virtually in every subdivision.”

Additional future projects include working with the United Methodist Church and Five Loaves Two Fishes to put an emergency disaster shelter in, which is still in the planning stages.

Jones has an extensive background in emergency services and retired after working for 24 years with the city of Charleston. Both Caruthers and Jones became Putnam County’s first EMT’s in the early 70’s and worked in a local steel shop together for years.

“The closer you are to the people in government the more you can serve,” Caruthers said.

Caruthers describes Jones as a go getter and both have known each other for as long as they can remember. Now, at the age of 63, Jones begins his four-year term in Poca on Jan. 1, 2015.

Poca boys basketball look to make state title

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com When Poca opens play at Nitro on Friday, Dec. 12, the defending Cardinal Conference champions will do so with one thing on their minds - winning a state championship.

Last season, the Dots fell to Robert C. Byrd in the class AA state semi-finals and finished the year at 25-2, but this time around the Dots have renewed hope in the form of four returning starters and the addition of a 6-foot-4 transfer from George Washington.

“We want to get some payback for what happened last year against Robert C. Byrd,” said senior Noah Frampton. “Bluefield, Chapmanville, Scott and Mingo Central will all be very good. We’ll have a lot of tough competition this year.”

The Dots return sophomores Luke Frampton and Elijah Cuffey, both who have received scholarship offers from Marshall University, as well as senior Noah Frampton, who led the team in scoring at 14.9 points per game.

Luke Frampton averaged 10.7 points per game and Cuffey averaged 14, both as freshman. Senior forward Matt Chandler averaged 14.2 and returns as well.

Legendary coach Allen Osborne

returns for his 38th season at the helm of the Dots. Osborne has amassed 575 career victories and looks to add to that total.

Poca added another key piece for this season in George Washington transfer Austin Henrich, who routinely dunks the ball in practice drills.

“He can jump, rebound, shoot… he can do everything,” Frampton said.

Poca also returns the top two reserves from last season in 6-foot4 senior Christian Buckley and 6-foot-1 junior Kaden Meeks, both who are expected to contribute heavily this season.

“Matt Chandler and Christian Buckley have been working their tails off,” Frampton said. “They’ve been stepping up big time.”

The Dots have a solid rotation of about eight guys that are expected to run in and out, as well as plenty of depth behind the starting five, with 6-foot-4 sophomore Chase Dotson, 5-10 junior Alex Hamrick, 5-11 sophomore Carson Cottrill and 5-11 sophomore J.P. Phillips.

“We want to play good team ball and not play selfish and then try to go undefeated,” Frampton said. “I think we have the potential, we just have to keep working hard.”

The Dots have beefed up their schedule with all three state run-

Poca looks to add boys soccer team in 2015

By Lauren Bethel Poca High School Poca High School has been without a boys soccer team since 2002, but now would like to see that change.

Shawn Arthur, a Poca junior, said he has felt like something was missing his past three years, so he decided to do something about it. Arthur said he knew his voice wasn’t going to be heard unless other students were on board with him. He congregated a group of students who also wanted a boys soccer team and went around Poca High School having people sign a petition that stated reasons why it should exist.

Another key factor in getting a soccer team started is having support from the school. Arthur said he believes there will be plenty of support because they’ve been trying to get a team together for a while now. Also, it’s something new to bring to the school.

“Having a soccer team really gives new kids, like me, a chance to ‘fit in’ and feel like they have a

place here at Poca High School,” said Mica Walker, a new student at Poca.

Getting other students to sign a petition was only half the battle.

The biggest thing Principal Vic Donaldson and the Board of Education are looking for is money for buses and equipment. Arthur and Ryan Byrne, another student at Poca High wanting a soccer team, started raising money by doing hot dog sales and carwashes.

They also solicit money from local businesses to help raise the needed funds.

Byrne, a sophomore, said he hopes Poca will get the team.

“I’ve been playing soccer since I could walk, and I think soccer is a great sport to help boost Poca High school spirit,” he said.

Arthur said he believes the team will last once it gets going, but now they just need to focus on getting it started.

“Having a boys soccer team will be beneficial to Poca High School because it will give boys who don’t like other sports a chance to participate in something,” Arthur said.

ners-up from a year ago in Hurricane (Class AAA), Byrd (Class AA) and Charleston Catholic (Class A).

“That’s just to start the season off with,” Osborne said. “Our conference is going to be very difficult.

We’re going to have to be focused and pay attention to details. It’s going to be difficult.”

Osborne coached the Dots to the 1997 state championship and the 2002 state title game.

“All of our guys have worked hard over the summer,” Osborne said. “They’re all bigger and stronger. Elijah Cuffey has worked extremely hard and he’s very passionate driven, but they’re all bigger and stronger and they’re shooting the ball pretty good right now, so that’s a positive sign.”

The Dots have high expectations, but Osborne said the team is just focused on getting better and preparing for the much anticipated season right now.

“We’re just trying to get better and find the right combination,” he said. “We’re not talking about winning and losing games. We’re talking about getting better. It’s about working hard every day, getting better every day and doing what you’re supposed to do.

“Winning and losing will take care of itself.”

Next, Randy Hodges, president and CEO of CAMC Teays Val-

ley, approached the development authority with a similar proposal.

Drew said the development authority formed a committee to examine the issue in-depth.

After deliberation, the development authority unanimously declined to purchase the property at its Nov. 18 meeting.

“Basically what it came down to is although CAMC Teays Valley had offered to accept all liability,

we were still a little bit concerned that if someone was hurt or injured, as the owner of the property, even though there was an indemnification of some type put together, we would still have some exposure,” Dunlap said. “[The authority board] was uncomfortable with that I think.”

Witte said CAMC Teays Valley will not give up the endeavor but will have to go back to the drawing

board to problem solve.

“They’ll find a solution,” he said. “It’ll just take some more brainstorming. They’ll keep working on it.”

Dunlap said the authority might not quite be out of the picture. He said the hospital is one of Putnam County’s largest employers and the authority is open to other options.

“It is an issue.” Dunlap said.

“It’s not an easy issue for him and

Hurricane organization receives national adoption award Mission West Virginia of Hurricane is one of 13 recipients of an award recognizing outstanding contributions in supporting foster children and adoptive families through improved child welfare or judicial systemic change. Mission West Virginia is a nonprofit organization that has responded to over 3,000 individuals interested in adoption and foster care, hosted many community events and has been responsible for nearly 80 adoptive or foster care placements.

The Adoption Excellence Awards are announced annually by HHS’ Administration for Children

Mission West Virginia operates FrameWorks, which is designed specifically to find families for children waiting in foster care. It serves as West Virginia’s response team for AdoptUSKids and has the unique ability to track prospective foster and adoptive families’ status through the certification process from initial inquiry to placement.

In addition to more timely certifications, the customer service and support offered by FrameWorks has resulted in helping more families completing the process.

Another of Mission West Virginia’s initiatives is its statewide

and Families’ (ACF) Children’s Bureau. The awards recognize individuals, families and organizations that have performed exceptional work in finding permanent homes for children in foster care.

“These awards recognize the difference we all can make in a child’s life,” said Children’s Bureau Associate Commissioner JooYeun Chang. “Mission West Virginia has assumed a leading role in the community by bringing together public, private, and faith groups to raise awareness of and improve the lives of foster children in West Virginia.”

Carry-On Campaign, which encourages members of the community to donate luggage in an attempt to eliminate garbage bags as luggage for kids in foster care.

Through the program, youth in care have received more than 2,500 pieces of luggage and countless personal hygiene items since its start in 2010.

Mission West Virginia also established a unique partnership with the West Virginia Division of Corrections, which donates 1,000 handmade duffle bags sewn by prisoners. The agency will hold an auction that will feature art made

by prisoners, the funds from that will start a scholarship fund for youth in foster care.

Please visit the Children’s Bureau website for a complete list of this year’s Adoption Excellence Award winners.

Buffalo boys basketball to ‘start from scratch’

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Rebuilding is a common necessity in high school sports, especially among smaller programs. Buffalo’s boys basketball coach Chuck Elkins is encountering his first approach to starting-from-scratch in ten or more years, however.

“We have no returning starters and no returning lettermen,” he said. “It’s that time in the cycle, I guess. We had an exceptional group of seniors last year. We had eight and all of them played a lot. We basically played eight guys last year.”

Essentially, the Bison junior varsity team has been moved to the frontlines, Elkins said.

There is one returning player who played last year but, due to injury in the third game, missed most of the season.

“We will just hope for the best this year,” said returning senior point guard Austin Hensley. “We’re a young team so we have to focus more on the defensive side. I think if we play good defense and play

together, we’ll be fine.”

The starting lineup currently includes Hensley, sophomore Logan Hunt and juniors Devin Rich, Ty Smith and Jacob Easton. Buffalo’s sixth man is junior Nicholas Whittington.

Elkins said the starting lineup is subject to change during the season, especially if some of the younger players stepup.

This season, the Bison’s roster is comprised of 15 players. One of those is a senior and two are freshmen. The rest of the list is made up of six juniors and sophomores.

Although it is a young team, all of the players are good athletes.

“We just don’t have numbers or size,” Elkins said. “Other than the youth, we’re small. We’re just not real heavy and the thing is, I don’t know if a lot of people do have the size, but we try to offset the size with our quickness and our press.

“It’s going to be tough but I think once everybody figures out what they’re doing and where they’re going, we’ll be fine.”

Hensley will be the only senior

Lady Bison ready for season

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Although the Lady Bison are a young team, coach Jamie Ball’s expectations are not any lower.

“We expect to play hard and be competitive in every game we play,” he said. “Last year, we did real well but we had Charleston Catholic and Huntington St. Joseph in our sectional so we had a tough time. We were real competitive though.”

Ball said the team would rely on leadership and experience from senior Olivia Dunn and junior Michela Lewis. He also said that newcomer Alexys Spaulding will add a spark to the team. These three together will dictate how far the team goes with their play and attitude.

“Olivia and Michela, as well as Spaulding, will say where we go this year,” he said. “We will go as far as those three with take us.

We’re going to look to those three to do great things all year long.”

The Lady Bison finished the 2013-2014 season 12-8. The team lost in the section semifinal game to rival Charleston Catholic, 58-29.

Losing four seniors - Chelsey Parkins, Paige Roush, Katie Allen and Whitney Dingess -caused some unwanted stress to the team. Ball said he thinks this year’s team has great potential, however.

He said that Dunn has proven herself to be a force in the paint for the Bison. She ranked second on the team in terms of points per game last season with 9.4.

“I think I’ve gotten smarter about the court than I was and I hope that others will see it too,” Dunn said. “We have a really

young team and I want to be that leader to them.”

Ball said Lewis may not have the high average of points on her resume but her rebounding game was like none other last season.

Lewis pulled down 107 rebounds last season, 39 offensive and 68 defensive and shot 44 percent from the arch.

Ball said he expects junior Randi Cobb will most likely see more action this year and bring the ball down the court. Cobb played five games last season but with the loss of so many starters Cobb will have to step up and hit the lane hard. Dunn’s leadership role will be vital to the young Bison team.

“I think this will be a building year,” she said. “I know we have

a young team so we will just need to build experience.”

With seven freshmen on the roster and only two seniors and two juniors, the Bison will have a lot of floor to cover in the preseason but Ball said he sees this team fighting hard and playing competitively throughout the whole season.

“We were really competitive in every game last year,” Ball said.

“That’s the expectation this season, too. Work hard and win.”

Other players expected to contribute include Whitney Seabolt, Courtney Hively, Morgan Cobb, Emily Reilly, Kaitlyn Dillion, Victoria Cobb, Kirsten Campbell and Courtney Whittington.

Buffalo opens its season at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5 against Poca.

Buffalo Bison’s wrestling team positioned to win

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Though the Buffalo wrestling team lost several all-state seniors, coach Cliff Parsons believes his team is in good position to do it again.

“The future is bright,” he said.

“We have a kid from Hurricane who has transferred in. He’s a sophomore and very talented.”

That sophomore is Dylan Lucas. Lucas also contributed to the Bison’s football team.

Parsons said he looks forward to seeing what Lucas and other team members can do this season.

“Mostly this year, I just look forward to getting to states and hopefully place,” Lucas said. “Last year, I went to states but unfortunately, I did not get to place. My main goal is to place this year.”

“We have a good shot this year despite losing people,” Parsons said. “I’ll have to wait and see what everyone will do this year but we

have two football players coming in too so I think we will have the right numbers to send someone to states again.”

Weighing in for either the 152-pound class or the 160, Lucas will determine which to shoot for that will give him the most advantage.

“My biggest challenge is staying healthy,” he said. “Last year, I got hurt and wrestled regionals with a strained hamstring. Luckily I placed and made it to states but I believe if I stay healthy, I can go a long way this year.”

Troubles for the season come from the loss of Jacob Moore, Mack Williams and Kyle Frazier.

“Last season, we didn’t do bad,” Parsons said. “We had a heavy weight [Moore] who was number one in the state and a 195 [pound] was number two and two others in the top 10. They all got beat in states but that was probably the best season we had as far as number that qualify for states.”

“The type of learning that they’re doing here engages their mind and their hands, and that combination of things helps that kid be motivated in a positive direction,” Erwin said. “It is the Department of Education’s answer to business and industry and what they are needing and wanting.”

Erwin said PCTC focuses on allowing students to have a positive impact on their communities, working on projects that will last beyond a grade in a class. This, he said, helps students stay motivated and work hard at achieving their goals.

“They see their effort is worth

Community News something,” he said. “It puts meaning to the Pythagorean theorem, it puts meaning to multiplication tables, it puts meaning to rise over run – when you’re going to build a set of stairs you need to know how to use that math formula.”

Last summer, Erwin said students were able to give a great service to the town of Eleanor, something he said brought smiles to all the students’ faces.

“If it wasn’t for the plumbing class and the carpentry class, the pool down here in the park wouldn’t have opened this summer,” he said. “It was because of those programs and the electric and technology program that pulled them out of a tough spot. They truly did some work that had meaning behind it. The students excelled with that and they took ownership in that.”

Erwin said the classes offered at PCTC use a multitude of skills in each project, ensuring every

student can use critical thinking to succeed later in a work place and to complete a project from start to finish. One example, he said, are the buildings built by the carpentry program.

“First they had to figure out how to read the blueprint, then they had to make a materials list, then they built the floor, then they had to frame it up, then they had to side it and shingle it – just like building a house,” he said. “We have a waiting list of communities who want these buildings. Those things they have built and sent on is truly a byproduct of their learning. It’s not them building a utility building for the sake of building a utility building.”

might also be able to earn math credits and English credits at the high school level. Erwin said students can expect to see embedded credits next year.

In the meantime, Erwin said he is working closely with nearby community colleges to make sure students can take full advantage of dual credit programs, even when outside of the high school.

“The students here also get a head start on college,” he said. “Every program here carries at least one college credit with it. We’re working very closely right now with Mountwest and Bridge Valley offering a one-plus-one – they finish one program here, which takes them about two years as a high school student – then they can go to Mountwest or Bridge Valley for another year and they have earned an associate’s degree.”

Another feat for the award-winning career and technical school is a policy of 100 percent inclusion,

which Erwin said helps all students succeed on a higher level as learning plans for students with disabilities are used to help all students in the classroom.

“What that means is every single student has the same exact curriculum at the same exact rate,” he said. “Our special educator brings in teaching strategies that work for all students. She makes it around to every program. She identifies students in trouble and formulates a plan of attack to help that kid get better.”

Erwin said PCTC is just an alternative method for preparing for life after high school, but one in which the propensity for success should not be underestimated.

“Our goal is to make our students career or college ready, or both,” he said. “We’re equipping our students for the real world. It’s not to say that the high schools are not, but it’s tangible here. They’re actually doing it.”
