Randolph wins chamber’s Mayo Lester award

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Roger K. Randolph, president of Randolph Engineering in Scott Depot, was presented with this year’s Mayo Lester Community Service Award during the 36th annual Putnam County Chamber of Commerce dinner.

“In 2014, we had a lot of tough decisions and a lot of good people nominated,” said Putnam County Chamber of Commerce President Marty Chapman. “But we can only pick one and tonight’s recipient is well-worthy.”

First presented in 1979 to Mayo Lester, the chamber’s first president and for whom the award is named after, it’s given in recognition of personal involvement

in a county-wide or local civic improvement project and for active participation in community organizations or leadership in developing community projects.

The winner of the award serves as an example of what a citizen and community leader should be in donating their time, energy and personal resources for the improvement of Putnam County.

“It’s easy to see how Roger epitomizes what it is to be a good corporate citizen in Putnam County,” Chapman said. “He strives to use his talents and resources to make Putnam County a great place for all of us to work, live and play.”

Roger K. Randolph was born in Ohio and after high school graduation he received his bachelor’s See Mayo Lester, Page 5

Hurricane gives smoke alarms to city residents

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The top senior scorers from each school were Buffalo High School, Conner Fields and Chance Williams; Hurricane High School, Elijah Schultz and Garrett McCallister; Poca High School, Luke Neal and Christian Buckley; Teays Valley Christian, Parker Holstein and Brad Pauley; Winfield High School, Jarren Tay and Lincoln Patton.

Hurricane takes home trophy

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Hurricane High School came out victorious as the five Putnam County High School’s competed in the annual Math Field Day competition held at the Toyota Motor Manufacturing company in Buffalo.

A total of 73 upperclassmen and freshmen from Buffalo, Hurricane, Poca, Teays Valley Christian and Winfield high schools competed in the mathematical team activities, along with being tested

individually. Students also had the opportunity to earn scholarship money and learn more about Toyota and its employment opportunities.

Math Field Day Coordinator Louise Goode said the competition went off without a hitch this year.

Goode extended her utmost thanks to Toyota for being such a gracious host and to the teachers at each school who took the time out to work with the students.

The city of Hurricane is accepting applications for Project S.A.F.E., a new project designed to make sure each household in the community has functional, well-placed smoke alarms.

“We want to take care of the people of Hurricane,” said Mayor Scott Edwards. “That’s important to us. We don’t want any lives to get lost here in Hurricane.”

To be eligible for the program, applicants must be residents of Hurricane and own their own home. Renters are not eligible as

law requires landlords to ensure working smoke alarms, Edwards said.

Applications for Project S.A.F.E. can be submitted to city hall through Feb. 13, but Edwards said he does not intend the program to stop there.

“This will be an ongoing program as well,” Edwards said. “It’s not going to just be a one year program. If someone comes to us in six months and says, ‘I need smoke detectors,’ we’re going to find a way to get them smoke detectors.”

Commission denies rezoning

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

A zoning amendment to change property from an R-1 residential zone to a C-1 suburban commercial zone was denied unanimously by Putnam County Commissioners.

“I personally see no fulfilling reason to rezone this area,” Commissioner Joe Haynes said. “I

submit that the application does not protect and promote the public health, safety and convenience, moral or general welfare and move we deny the request.”

During the Tuesday morning meeting a public hearing was held to allow residents of the area to speak out against the change.

Richard Beckner, a retired postman from Huntington, may have had the luckiest day of his life.

While celebrating his 63rd birthday, he received a call from Glenn Yeager of Yeager Insurance and Financial Services informing him that he had won the lifetime fishing and hunting license from the West Virginia Hunting and Fishing Show in Charleston. A couple hours before this call he had already been informed he had won a flat screen TV from another raffle he entered.

“It seems like here lately everything I register for, I win,” he said laughing, adding that he almost hung up because he thought it was a scam. “I should have bought a couple of lottery tickets.”

Yeager and his associates set up a booth at the annual show in order to get some face-to-face time with the community.

“That’s our community,” he said. “That’s where we’re from and that’s what’s big here in sporting.

It gives us a local presence and a local feel. Our agents, including me, we’re able to talk to people right there and see what their current insurance was and let them know that we could do something for them.”

Hunting and fishing are certainly a large part of Beckner’s life, a pastime he shares with his 27-year-old son, Robert.

“We always enjoy fishing,”

Richard Beckner, 63, was the winner of Yeager Insurance’s raffle for a lifetime fishing and hunting license. He transferred it to his son, 27-year-old Robert Beckner.

Beckner said. “It’s just wonderful and rewarding. Even if you catch nothing, they say a day of fishing is better than a day in the office or a day working.”

Beckner and his son have fished all over the United States, from lakes and streams in West Virginia, to ocean docks in Myrtle Beach to bays in Lake Superior. They have caught snapping turtles, blackfinned sharks, moray eels and stingrays – among other fish.

“We’ve got a book that we keep all our fish pictures in for everything we catch,” he said while reminiscing. “We’ve about got that thing full.”

Around West Virginia, Beckner said he enjoys fishing for trout, catfish, carp and bass. He said when he catches a fish, you know the fish won’t be wasted.

“Everybody always said, ‘Mr.

Beckner, you always release all your fish, don’t you?’ and I say I release every one of them,” he said. “The trick is, I only release in grease. I eat everything I catch.”

Beckner, who has fished since he was four, said he has always enjoyed fishing with his son. For this reason, he transferred the lifetime license to Robert, who Beckner said will be able to use it much more than he will.

“This will save us money,” he said. “For the rest of our life is a good deal. It was a great opportunity because you don’t get that everyday.”

Lifetime license or not, Beckner said he plans on getting back on the water as soon as possible.

“It’s exciting,” he said. “You don’t always reel them in but when you do, it’s exciting. It’s very relaxing and it’s very exciting.”

Congratulations to the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce for 36 years of Service to Businesses!

Putnam Chamber

The Putnam Standard

Chamber to increase members, improve service

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

After a successful year of events celebrated during its 35th anniversary, the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce is now focusing efforts on recruitment and needs of the membership.

The past year included a sold out annual dinner and golf tournaments, a widely attended candidates forum, multiple educational events and the birth of a new event, the Putnam Preview. However, the majority of the Putnam Chamber’s work happens behind the scenes, said President Marty Chapman.

“With the chamber, there’s nothing tangible you get when you become a member,” he said. “So what we do is we try to let them know that we’re representing them at county commission meetings and at the legislature. Any issues that may pop up while they’re tending business [we handle] so they can tend to the business and we can tend to the issues for them.”

Chapman said Putnam County is one of the few chambers around the state that has a consistent presence at the state legislature. He said the power of speaking with senators and delegates cannot be

underestimated.

“My job is to be at these meetings and let everyone know what is going on,” he said. “It’s just trying to let the people know what’s going on so they don’t have to worry about it and can just run their business.

“It’s stuff that they need to know and they need to be doing. It’s difficult to run a business in this economy and we do everything we can to create the environment in the economy so they can do that and be successful.”

This past year, Chapman said his office fought the fire fee as well as the annexation in Winfield.

“Since I’ve been here we’ve had six or seven annexation attempts from municipalities,” he said.

“We brought it to the public and the public brought it to the county commission and let them know their feelings.”

While being present at the governmental meetings has always been a part of the job, Chapman said his staff is modernizing the chamber office to be more convenient for members.

“I’m really proud of this organization because of where we’ve come from in the past 12 years I’ve been here,” he said. “We’ve got a very professional staff and an intact and involved board. That’s what it takes for leadership. I’d put our staff up against any chamber in the state.”

A part of the modernization is simple. The chamber now consid-

ers itself accessible.

“In the last couple of years, we’ve just become much more accessible,” said Ashley Alford, vice president of programs and events.

“We have every social media account that’s popular right now. Our website is a huge thing and it’s very interactive.

“They may not function or need us from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. when we’re physically in this office but if you need something, you can reach us remotely.”

Alford said upgrading communication is not the only way the chamber is modernizing. They are also offering credit card payments and membership auto-pay, rather than the outdated method of sending individual invoices by mail.

“We’re trying to make being a member of the chamber as easy as possible for our members,” Alford said. “We’re going to be offering auto-pay on their membership renewal. We don’t want to be a hassle, we just want to be a help to them.”

The chamber will also update its website this year, incorporating more video and emphasizing the needs of its members.”

She also said video testimonials will be added.

“We have a business of the month every month and they submit their information to us to showcase them as the business of the month in a written form,” she said. “Starting in March, they will actually be on a video. That will go

Additionally, job posting will now have a more prominent spot.

“We’ve been posting job postings but we haven’t really been showcasing them,” Alford said.

“This year, they’re going to be highlighted right on the front page of the website. They’re going to be really easily accessible. We’re going to start posting them on our social media accounts to try and drive people to see.”

Chapman said the modernization of the chamber mirrors the overall growth of the county, which has managed to be successful in a difficult economy. The proof is in

the fact that the chamber attended 13 ribbon cuttings around the county in 2014, he said.

“In Putnam County, we’re continuing to grow even in a down economy,” Chapman said. “Putnam County is not like the rest of West Virginia- we’re an anomaly.”

As the county business climate prospers, Chapman said the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce will continue to advocate on behalf of business owners around the county.

“The members should be proud of where this chamber is going because it’s doing a lot of things for them,” he said. “We hope that they realize that.”

The Putnam Standard

Mayo Lester From Page 1 degree from Ohio University. Then, after college graduation, he came to West Virginia to work for Union Carbide and eventually started his own business out of the basement of his house. He soon moved into his own building and is still there 39 years later.

Since coming to Putnam County, Randolph and his wife Grace C. Randolph, who serves as the Vice President for Randolph Engineering and holds a dynamic role in Randolph Engineering’s support of various community programs, have been active in making Putnam County better for everyone.

Randolph is a founding member of the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce and serves on the board of directors.

He’s volunteered his time serving as the district commissioner for the Pioneer District of the Buckskin Council Boy Scouts of America.

Putnam County development authority named Randolph volunteer of the year as their service award winner. He currently serves on the Putnam County Vo-tech board and the solid waste authority. Randolph has also volunteered for many clean-up programs around the county. He’s a lifetime member of the NRA, volunteering for local midland trail friends of the NRA, which has raised over $62,000 that goes to youth charities.

Randolph has volunteered his time at the Henderson House at Hurricane High School, the Putnam County parks walking trails and the Putnam County Fair Grounds making handicap accessible walk ways and most recently, an amphitheater.

“I remember back in the era when Mayo Lester was living,” Randolph said. “I knew Mayo Lester quite well. The last time I saw Mayo was when we sat at the curb at the Putnam County Bank and we just talked. He always had time.

“But the first time I saw Mayo was down at a chamber of commerce meeting. It must have been about the second or third meeting we had. He walked over to me and introduced himself. He knew who I was and I didn’t really know who

he was at the time but he said, ‘Roger, if there’s anything I can do for you just ask.’”

Randolph said the most important thing is to love what you do and success will follow.

“If we can instill that into young people,” he said. “Finding something they love to do, then I think we’ll all be successful. I don’t do it for the awards. I do it because I enjoy doing it and everything I do helps Putnam County. I take a lot of, I can’t say pride, but somebody has to get out and do things.

“I enjoy keeping the county clean. I enjoy building things in the county and at the career center, there’s so much enjoyment there.

We have a 95 percent placement rate at the trade school. It’s about young people getting jobs and what more pleasure is there than helping young people better themselves.”

The chamber has been very successful over the years, Randolph said, and he always respected the way Mayo gave his time and effort to those around him.

“We should always take time for our friends,” he said. “We should never be so busy that we can’t take time for our friends and always offer our help because we’re a group in Putnam County and we stay together.”

Brian Moore, who serves on the Putnam County Board of Directors and the recipient of the 2014 Young Leader Award, handed out this year’s award to Ashley Alford, the Vice President of Programs & Events for the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce.

After graduating from West Virginia University, Alford returned home to Putnam County and went to work with the Putnam Chamber. Although still in her 20’s, Alford has embarked on a course of achievement and leadership, all while improving the community in which she lives, Moore said.

Her expertise is in public relations, promotion and marketing.

“If you ever need a good idea she’s chock-full of them,” Moore said. “Including ideas on how to grow your business or improve Putnam County. If you were to design a prototype young leader,

Ashley would fit the bill. She has proven herself to be invaluable, not only to the chamber, but to Putnam County and the entire state of West Virginia.

“She goes above and beyond in everything she does. She’s well regarded and adored by the community and she received so many nominations that people would write back to me to make sure I received the nomination. That says a lot.”

The Young Leader Award is an honor established by Generation Putnam and the Putnam County Chamber of Commerce. Generation Putnam is a committee of the chamber and is dedicated to the younger professionals that live and work in Putnam County.

Generation Putnam offers periodic networking, professional development and community involvement.

“I think it’s important to note that she’s a really good person,” Moore said. “Sometimes we look around and we say, ‘where have all the good people gone?’ She’s one of the most genuine, sincere and selfless people I’ve ever met.”

Alford said she couldn’t do her job or wouldn’t have the inspiration to improve Putnam County if it wasn’t for the members she works for, who make her want to come to work every day.

“I’m honored to win this award,” she said. “Being a young person in Putnam County has a lot of advantages. You can make your success in Putnam County. I want to thank the chamber members and the members of Generation Putnam and the young people in the state of West Virginia for believing in me and giving me the opportunities to lead. It means a lot that my boss believes as much as he does in me.”

Alford said she draws her inspiration from the community, which is what has led her to where she is now. She also offered up some advice to the young people here in Putnam County.

“If you’re a young person and you’re not really sure what you want to make out of your career and you want to do something more, get involved,” she said.

“That’s the best thing you can do is get involved in Generation Putnam. Get involved in any type of organization. You’d be surprised how quick you’d be given the opportunity to lead.”

Right, Revved Up Kids’ Ministry of the Teays Valley Church of God is working to raise money to purchase a cow through “Heifer International,” an organization that empowers families to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity.

Ministry raises funds for Heifer International The Revved Up Kids’ Ministry of the Teays Valley Church of God in Scott Depot is focused on taking faith to the streets by making a difference in the lives of people that will result in lasting change.

That’s why the Revved Up Kids are working to raise money to purchase a cow through “Heifer International,” an organization that empowers families to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity.

“Heifer International” links communities and helps bring sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas with a long history of poverty. The animals provide partners with both food and reliable income through agricultural prod-

ucts such as milk, eggs and honey that can be traded or sold at market.

When many families gain this new sustainable income, it brings new opportunities for building schools, creating agricultural cooperatives, forming community savings and funding small businesses.

The Revved Up Kids have pledged to raise $500 to purchase a heifer for a village in need. With over 30 countries partnering with this project, their gift of a heifer could potentially go anywhere.

One Revved up participant, Tyler Weiford, a fifth grader at Scott Teays Elementary, earned $9 early on for the project. When he turned his money in, Jodi Gramlich, the church’s Children’s Pastor, chal-

lenged him to earn $50 more by April.

He accepted the challenge, and his mom created a little bank marked “Tyler’s Heifer Fund.” In no time Tyler’s piggy bank was full.

When he went to count it he was astonished to find he had collected an additional $77 for the project.

Wanting to make sure the cow could be purchased by the set time he decided to give it all. Tyler has challenged the other Revved Up kids to empty their piggy banks as well.

Lady Redskins find rhythm, get three wins

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

NITRO – It is February, two weeks before sectional play begins, and the No. 9 Lady Redskins (14-5) have found a rhythm.

During the past week the Hurricane girls have defeated George Washington 59-57, Point Pleasant 60-30 and Nitro 68-41. Upcoming key games for the Lady Redskins include at No. 4 Huntington Thursday, Feb. 12 and at Cabell Midland on Monday, Feb. 16.

It was the game against the Wildcats that got the roll started.

The Lady Redskins took a commanding lead in the first half and never looked back.

“We needed that win. It was a confidence boost,” said Hurricane coach Austin Lowe. “We played probably the best game defensively all year. We held Savannah [Shamblin] to 13 points until the last three minutes of the game.

“Maddy Weeks played lights out, Abby [Watson] was on fire. It was a good team effort. The ball moved a little better than it has been so we’ll take it.”

Nitro’s Savannah Shamblin led the Mountain State Athletic Conference with 25.1 points per game earlier in the season. Shamblin has found herself in double coverage more often than not this year.

Lowe said the coverage of Shamblin was key if the Lady Redskins wanted a win.

“Weeks was doing a great job covering Savannah,” Lowe said.

“Maddy did such a good job on her early on, I wasn’t going to mess something up that was working and fix something that wasn’t broken.

Hurricane’s Lexi Crompton (31) puts the ball up for two.

“Maddy won the basketball game. Abby scored 31 points, but Maddy shut Savannah down.”

On top of her defensive performance, Weeks also scored 14 points for the Lady Redskins and grabbed six rebounds.

“We played well as a team,” Weeks said. “I’m proud of the way we played tonight. We moved the ball well; we moved it better than we usually do. “[Savannah] is very very quick.

I needed a lot of help and my team helped me a lot so I’m thankful I have all of them with me.”

Watson hit her stride during the game against Nitro. She hit a

which ended 56-24.

Hurricane freshman Lexi Crompton came off the bench to applause from her teammates.

She took on the task of defending against Shamblin for the last three minutes of the game. Lowe said he had practiced Crompton for the last week to groom her for future varsity court time.

Crompton scored her second varsity goal to close out the Hurricane scoring drive and getting the win, 68-41.

Hurricane will next travel to Huntington Thursday, Feb 12 to play the Highlanders at 7:30 p.m.

3-pointer early in the first half and ended the match with a doubledouble, 31 points and 15 rebounds.

She also had a strong combination of steals and block shots which led to fast breaks and other scoring opportunities for the Lady Redskins.

Despite the lopsided score, the Wildcats started the game strong.

The team took a six-point lead on two of Shamblin shots before Hurricane’s Hannah Thompson could get one through for Hurricane.

During the next four minutes that followed, Hurricane set the tone and found the lead with a 11-0 run started by a 3-pointer from Kaylee Wooten.

“I definitely feel a lot better than I did,” Thompson said. “We practiced really really hard hoping we could get a big win like this to push us forward into sectionals.

We have to just keep playing until the last minute and we will be fine going into sectionals.”

Hurricane went into the locker room at halftime up 29-14. Lowe had praise for the Lady Redskins defensive efforts which held the Wildcats to just three points in the second quarter.

Watson started the second-half scoring after 30 seconds of play.

The Lady Redskins went on a nine point run to start the third quarter,

Thompson signs to play soccer at Wheeling Jesuit

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Hurricane High School had a busy signing season the first semester and the second semester has started strong as senior Hannah Thompson signed to play with the Wheeling Jesuit soccer team.

“It was a hard decision as I had like three or four choices,” Thompson said. “I’m glad that I could take my career to the next level. I am honestly so excited about playing in college. I’m excited to go off to college finally.”

Thompson will join some of her classmates, Courtney Rogers and Cassie Sargent in Wheeling, who signed to play softball. A fact that she said made the decision easier.

“I’m exited that I’m going to have friends down there,” she said.

“I really like the team and who I’m going to play. I love the coaches.

They’re so nice. They talk to me all the time and ask me how I’m doing.”

Wheeling Jesuit’s coach Carrie Hanna has kept an eye on Thompson this past season. Thompson

said the constant contact made the decision possible.

Her parents, Traci and David Thompson, are glad their daughter has made her decision and will not be too far away.

“We are just thrilled to death,” Traci said. “We’re excited. She’s worked so hard. She’s put – I don’t know how many years – into this.

It’s just really great to finally see her reach her goal.”

“It’s her time to reap the rewards of all the hard work she’s put in,” David added. “This is what she wants and we’re glad she got to choose the college she’s most deserving for. It all worked out good for her.”

Thompson had other colleges inquiring about her future plans as well. West Virginia Wesleyan and West Liberty also contacted her about playing for them.

Her decision to go to Wheeling Jesuit was not an easy one, she said, but her friends and her future coach helped in making the toughest decision she has had to make yet.

Shelly Young, head coach of the Lady Redskins soccer team,

Hurricane senior Hannah Thompson (middle) signed her commitment to play soccer for Wheeling Jesuit. Her parents, Traci (left) and David Thompson supported her decision. has coached Thompson since her freshman year and said she loved seeing her girls go from 14-yearolds to college players.

“I am always excited when my girls decide, and have the opportunity, to continue playing in college,” Young said. “As a coach,

you want to imbue your kids with the love of the game.

“Soccer is great because you’re not just learning how to play soccer but you’re learning life lessons and you’re learning things that will benefit you post high school, post college. I like to see when an

athlete of mine can continue in college.”

Thompson will join the ranks of Wheeling Jesuit on a soccer scholarship.

She will take her competitive goalkeeping to the next level.

Hurricane boys win last 10 of 11 games

By Trace Johnson For The Putnam Standard The Hurricane Redskins boys basketball team (12-5) clinched its sixth straight win, and 10 of 11 games, by rolling over the Nitro Wildcats (2-15), 65-42.

Nitro scored the first points of the game with a 3-pointer. Hurricane answered with a 15-4 run.

The Redskins led 15-7 after the first quarter of play.

The Wildcats kept chipping away at the Redskins’ lead during the second quarter. With 1:15 remaining in the quarter, Hurricane had a one point lead, 21-20. The Redskins added one final basket to end the second quarter and took a 23-20 lead into the locker room.

“Nothing was falling in the first half,” said Hurricane coach Lance

Sutherland. “And when nothing falls, that made things worse.”

Nitro made things even more interesting in the third quarter as the team tied the game at 25-25 with 6:58 remaining. The Redskins quickly responded and went on a 13-2 scoring run to end the third quarter, 38-27.

“We were shooting way too many outside shots and we had to come in and drive in the second half and that’s what we did,” said Hurricane senior Trey Dawson.

“We started going inside out and that’s when our outside shots started falling.”

Sutherland said he also changed in the defense which helped the Redskins.

“We just changed up defenses, picked up the intensity a little bit and that helped us,” Sutherland

said.

The Redskins followed up an impressive ending to the third quarter by extending the lead to an even wider margin in the fourth quarter. Hurricane outscored Nitro 27-15 in the final quarter en route to a 65-42 victory.

Dawson led the Redskins with 23 points, seven rebounds and two assists. Senior J.T. Rogoszewski added eight points, five rebounds and three assists and senior Jake McClelland added 10 points and two rebounds. Senior Dylan Tinsley chipped in seven points, five rebounds and two assists while sophomore Braxton Dobert added seven points and three rebounds.

The Wildcats were led in the scoring department by junior Neil Sallada who finished with 22 points.

On a night where they didn’t shoot the ball consistently well, Hurricane’s defense stepped up in a big way.

“We gave up 42 points and six or seven of those were late,” Sutherland said. McClelland agreed the team needed to improve in the coming weeks.

“We played pretty good defense and we just have to get better the next couple of weeks,” he said.

“We’ve got to get through these next few games and we’ve got a couple big one’s coming up. We

just have to keep going strong.”

The Redskins’ focus now shifts on gaining more consistency as the regular season continues to wind down.

“We just have to relax a little bit,” Dawson said. “We’re putting too much pressure on ourselves.

“We’re getting closer to postseason and after we take this little weekend off, I think we’ll come back refreshed and ready for next week.”

The Redskins will have a challenging week coming up as the team hosts class AAA No. 3 Huntington at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13 and class AA No. 1 Poca on Tuesday, Feb. 17.

Putnam dance teacher recognized for acrobatic arts Cookie Samworth, Artistic Director at Hurricane’s Arts in Action, is among one of 20 people in the United States that has become certified to teach Acro Dance through Acrobatic Arts.

Acrobatic Arts is a professional organization whose syllabus and materials have been reviewed and approved by Cirque du Soleil. For-

mer Cirque du Soleil Acrobat Tyler Ayers commented on the Acrobatic Arts training program.

“Never have I been so excited about something that helps students achieve their dreams of being that triple threat dancer,” Ayers said.

“The Acrobatic Arts Syllabus makes learning acrobatics for dance fun, safe, and conducive to

a strong career in the entertainment industry.”

The focus of the Acrobatic Arts curriculum enables dancers to increase their flexibility, strength, balance and limbering. It also increases their ability to incorporate tumbling, basic contortion and partner and group stunts into the discipline of dance.

Samworth, a seasoned dancer and instructor for 14 years, is thrilled to be able to introduce acro techniques to the Arts in Action family and to integrate the use of acro into her already creative choreography.

In addition, Samworth will provide training to interested persons in Putnam and the surrounding

Winfield senior Haylea Roberson (3) brings the ball down the court while Sophomore Rachel Kraschnewski (24) and Sydney Cavender (13) teammates run the play.

The Putnam Standard

Winfield seniors Haylea Roberson and Cheyenne Sawyers were honored before the game on senior night.

Lady Generals top Lincoln County on senior night

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com The Winfield Lady Generals came into senior night looking to get a big victory and send the senior class out the right way.

The team managed to hang on to a 10 point fourth quarter lead and in the process came out with a 52-49 win.

“The last two weeks we had Cabell Midland, Hurricane and Nitro,” Winfield coach Chuck Slater said. “They were all winnable games and we ended up losing some close ones, but tonight we just got over the edge.”

Sophomore Rachel Kraschnewski and senior Cheyenne Sawyers both helped Winfield get over the edge by notching key double-doubles. Kraschnewski led the team with 18 points and 17 rebounds, while Sawyers had 11 points and 14 rebounds. Sawyers said her solid rebounding effort was the result of being physical under the hoop.

“Mainly just boxing out and go-

ing up strong and trying to bring it back down strong,” Sawyers said.

Senior Haylea Roberson knocked down some key shots as she always seems to do. Roberson gave the Lady Generals a third scorer in double figures and finished with 15 points and five rebounds on the night.

Winfield (4-13) kept pace with Lincoln County in the first quarter behind Sawyers and Kraschnewski.

Sawyers ended the first frame with seven of Winfield’s 11 total points.

Kraschnewski scored the other four and Winfield trailed at the end of one, 13-11.

Sophomore Meagan Cavender opened the second quarter scoring by hitting a 3-pointer, then a basket

by Roberson put the Lady Generals up 16-15 with 5:25 to go in the second. Kraschnewski continued her huge night by dropping in two more after Roberson to give Winfield the 18-15 lead, which forced Lincoln County (6-9) coach Randy Adkins to get a timeout to stop the momentum.

“We’re bonding a lot more

toward the end of the season,” Kraschnewski said. “We’ve had a lot of ups and downs together. It’s just been a wonderful experience with our two seniors and I’m going to be sad to see them go. I just wish we had a few more years with them.”

Roberson hit 1-of-2 free throws to keep Winfield ahead 19-17 and then followed that up with another basket to give the Lady Generals a 21-19 lead, but with just under three minutes before the half, Lincoln County went on a 4-0 run to take a 23-21 lead.

“We just talked about coming back out with a positive attitude at halftime,” Roberson said. “We always say we’re a second half team and it showed.”

Sawyers tied things up at 23all coming out of the break. Then Kraschnewski struck again in the low-post to get Winfield out in front 25-23. After that, Cavender hit two free throws to put Winfield up 29-25.

Winfield held Lincoln County to just four third quarter points and finished the third frame up 31-27.

themselves, they can,” Edwards said. “But there’s a lot of folks, especially the elderly, that can’t, so we want to make sure it’s done right.”

Smoke detectors can be the difference between life and death, said Hurricane Assistant Fire Chief Rob Savage.

“We stress smoke alarms inside every bedroom or outside of every bedroom,” he said. “At night, it does wake you up and it does alert you that something is wrong and you need to hurry up and get out. If you don’t have them they can end up a lot worse.”

Savage said residents who have smoke alarms installed tend to lose less property in house fires as well as are less likely to suffer injury.

“Obviously if you have them, you’re notified a lot sooner and you lose a lot less property than you would if you don’t have it and you wake up with half your house on fire,” he said. “I think what they’re

doing here is great.”

Savage said that regardless if a household has a smoke detector, it won’t help if it isn’t maintained properly.

“You change the battery, every 10 years you need to replace them,” Edwards said. “Nobody realizes that. The sensors go bad so you need to replace them.”

Savage said his department will be happy to help residents change the batteries of their detectors if they’re unable to do it themselves.

The firefighters also plan to discuss fire safety when they visit Hurricane residences.

“We’ll change batteries and talk a little home safety,” he said.

“We’ll talk about candles, cooking and fireplaces. Keeping your hallways clear and don’t block your exits.”

Applications are available on the Hurricane website and can be mailed by contacting City Hall at Hurricane Mayor Scott Edwards looks through donated smoke detectors from Cub Scout Pack 236 for Project S.A.F.E. 304-562-5896.

“Our time management was a lot better than it has been,” Slater said. “Looking inside to Rachel and getting better looks on offense was important. I’ve been preaching that for four months and it’s finally clicking in.”

Roberson hit a 3-pointer to open the fourth and Kraschnewski poured in another to put Winfield ahead 36-29. Roberson then connected on an old fashioned 3-point play, hitting a basket and then the foul shot to give the Lady Generals some breathing space at 39-31.

Sawyers hit Kraschnewski with a nice pass in the paint for a conversion and then followed that up with a bucket of her own. Krachnewski made another key play when she was able to grab her own miss and put it back in to give Winfield a 10 point advantage.

“We came down and slowed the offense a little bit,” Slater said.

“That’s what I tried to get them to do, but sometimes they get down there and they get in a hurry because they’re ahead a little bit, but we did better tonight running the

clock and playing good defense.”

Lincoln County turned the game into a nail biter down the stretch, though. Lindsey Prichard hit two key baskets to get the Panthers to within six. Then, Lincoln County converted on a number of free throw attempts after being in the bonus and eventually grabbed a 49-48 lead.

Two free throws from Roberson put Winfield back out in front 5049 and Roberson followed that up with two more from the line. The last second attempt for Lincoln County fell short on the ensuing possession.

The seniors got the win they deserved, Slater said. Meagan Cavender finished with five points in the win and her sister Sydney Cavender chipped in with three.

Winfield shot 32 percent from the floor and 60 percent from the line.

The Lady Generals picked up the win despite 19 turnovers.

The victory also signified something else very important in the minds of the players. “We finally get that pizza,” Kraschnewski said.

S.A.F.E. From Page 1 which stands for “smoke alarms for everyone,” came after several structural fires in Putnam County resulted in fatalities.

Edwards said that the city is asking for monetary and smoke alarm donations. Officials want to raise $2,500, enough to buy 500 smoke detectors.

“People like to give,” Edwards said. “They like to help. Those that have, give and they like to donate, and we see that all the time.”

The city was helped by Cub Scout Pack 236, who brought a box of 50 smoke alarms to a city council meeting to donate to Project S.A.F.E. Now that the smoke alarms are on hand, Edwards said it is important for the city to ensure they are installed correctly. Members of the Hurricane Volunteer Fire Department will install the them at no expense to the homeowner.

Winfield boys lose heartbreaker to St. Albans 57-52

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Winfield (6-11) came into its matchup with St. Albans (2-13) having won 2-of-3, but the Red Dragons prevented the Generals from making it 3-of-4, as they stormed back in the fourth quarter to win 57-52.

Jeff Seams caught fire in the fourth, hitting four 3-pointers and eventually leading the Red Dragons to the win. Seams scored a game high 23 points to go along with his teammate Phillip Hall’s 20. The combo ended up being too much for Winfield to handle.

“We’re better than how we played, obviously,” said Winfield sophomore Tate Hancock. “You can’t come out and think you have it. You always have to come out with what coach England likes to say, which is ‘a sense of urgency’ and we didn’t come out with the sense of urgency that we needed to.”

Winfield did get off to a solid start in the first quarter, though.

Senior Bear Bellomy scored the first seven points and the Generals led 7-0 right out of the gate forcing St. Albans to call a timeout.

Bellomy said he felt good in the beginning and England just told him to get other people involved.

That other person came in the form of Hancock, who scored three baskets in a row and propelled Winfield out to 14-5 early lead.

The Generals ended the first quarter up 16-11.

More of the same continued in the second frame. Winfield was already in the bonus from the free throw line just a minute into the quarter and junior Peyton Moore and senior Alex Osburn both knocked down 3-pointers to give Winfield a nine point lead (23-14) midway through the second. Senior Heath Diehl followed that up with a shot of his own from behind the arc.

The Generals coasted into halftime with a 29-22 lead and it seemed more of the same would continue in the second half, but Winfield let their guard down. St. Albans came out with a full court press in the second half and the Generals struggled to break it.

“When the play breaks down we don’t know how to move without the ball,” Osburn said. “We have to go find something else to do.

Everybody just wants to stand there and not move.”

Winfield built an 11 point lead in the third quarter after Bellomy hit a 3-pointer to put the Generals out in front 36-25, from that point on, the Red Dragons began to make their run. It became the Seams and Hall show.

Hall scored eight points in a row to bring St. Albans all the way back to tie the game up at 40 by the end of the third.

“It all goes back to effort,” Bellomy said, while acknowledging his team took St. Albans a bit

lightly. “If we would’ve played 100 percent we could have beat them pretty good.”

The fourth frame provided some back-and-forth action. Winfield took a five point lead (45-40) after Hancock dropped in another basket and Diehl knocked down a 3-pointer, but then Seams began his torrid shooting from the outside, hitting two 3’s in a row, one from NBA range.

After a basket by Hall, Seams proceeded to hit two more 3’s. One even bounced high in the air off the rim and fell in. His shots were going in every which way and by the time the streak concluded, St. Albans had grabbed a 54-50 lead with three minutes remaining.

Winfield couldn’t recover.

The Generals tried to make a late run and Bellomy hit a 3-pointer to pull them within one at 51-50, but it slipped away. Diehl had a shot to tie things up at 55-all, after England designed a play coming out of a timeout, but the shot hit the back of the iron and popped out.

“Bluntly being honest we could’ve played better,” Hancock said. “Which a lot of it comes from beating a team by 40 and then coming in with attitude saying, ‘well we can do that again’ and you can never do that no matter who you’re playing. We took them a little lightly.”

Winfield beat Nitro 84-45 in the previous game, which seemed to have contributed to the noncha-

lant nature coming out against St. Albans.

“Early in the season we had a game like this against Point Pleasant,” Hancock said. “We’re looking forward to being able to get back at them and get our second shot because that’s a game we should’ve won.”

Bellomy led the way with 16

points and seven rebounds. Hancock had 14 and five rebounds.

Osburn rounded out the double figure scoring with 11 points and seven rebounds. Diehl chipped in with eight points. Moore finished with three.

Winfield will play a tough matchup at South Charleston 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 13.

since 2006 when I bought my home. I am in full agreement with the other homeowners in the area.

“When I spoke out in the initial meeting, I pointed out, as some of the other residents have, that just because a residential property borders a commercial property, in this case Tractor Supply, that doesn’t mean that Mount Vernon Road is situated and wide enough to handle large amounts of commercial traffic.”

Amos added that if the zoning amendment is changed, there would be no definition of the zoning borders. He asked the question where it would stop, adding that if one residential zone was changed, another would follow.

“That’s what we’re afraid of,” he said. “Frankly, we’re not afraid of it going commercial as long as the infrastructure is in place to support it. That’s what Mount Vernon Road lacks. It does not have the basic infrastructure to support the residents who are in the area, how much more would it support commercial?”

After the meeting Spradling discussed his next moves with planner John Butterworth.

“I’m not pleased but I understand too,” Spradling said. “I can see where they’re coming from.

We’re just looking to rezone from R-1 to C-1 so someone can have

that opportunity to develop it.

“We’ll have to go back now and look at it and think about what we’ll do.”

During the Feb. 10 meeting, Putnam County Clerk Brian Wood introduced the new County Clerk’s Portal. This website is devoted to

getting the residents of Putnam County information they need quickly and efficiently.

“It’s something we’ve been laying the foundation of for a while,” Wood said. “Now, basically what we have in the record room, you will have at home.”

With the exception of older books, the clerk’s office has scanned images and documents into the system to be made available to the public.

The website is http://putnamcoclerk.com.

Winfield’s Tate Hancock (40) and Bear Bellomy (30) trap a Wildcat under the basket. Generals lost to Red Dragons 57-52.

Commission From Page 1 Timothy Spradling, who owns the residential property located on Mount Vernon Road in Hurricane, told commissioners and the Putnam Planning Commission that he would like to sell it as commercial property.

Several residents from Mount Vernon Road area spoke out against the zoning change application, citing safety, water runoff and concerns of commercial expansion.

Residents had concerns about commercial traffic on an already narrow road, as well as for the safety of children waiting for school busses.

“I don’t consider it winning, I consider it as doing the right thing,” resident Joseph Amos said. “This is not about wining or losing. We are supporting the growth of Putnam County but it must be done correctly.”

Resident Sherry Barker Jackson also commented on her concerns if the commission overturned the Putnam Planning Commission’s ruling and zoned the property as commercial. She said erosion caused by water runoff from the elevated road had forced her tree line to retreat nearly three feet. She also said that her mowing services charged her more money for mowing the ditch line due to the dangers of standing by the road.

“My home sits on Mount Vernon Road,” she said. “I’ve been there

Math From Page 1 “I really thought it awesome,” Goode said. “There are a lot of scholarships linked to Math Field Day and a lot of people donate to it.

Putnam County is very supportive and today was wonderful, everybody stayed on task and worked hard and Toyota is awesome representing the county and hosting this every year and we really appreciate that. They’ve spent thousands and thousands on Math Field Day for Putnam County.”

Teachers assigned to monitor each group for their respective schools were Glenna Ragle, Buffalo High School; Stacey Rhodes, Poca High School; Deb Mannina, Winfield High School; Katie Straub, Hurricane High School and Amy Facemyer, Teays Valley Christian.

“The teachers are very good and they are not paid,” Goode said.

“They all practice with their teams to get them ready for this. Some of the school’s get their teams t-shirts to wear to get the kids motivated.

They provide breakfast for them and it just encourages the kids to work hard. It’s very positive.”

All students listened to the opening remarks by Superintendent Chuck Hatfield which began at 8:30 a.m. as well as Asst. Superintendent Dr. Cindy Daniel and Toyota General Manager Doug Shields. Goode also gave the students directions for the day’s events.

Each student took an individual exam and competed in the individual competition followed by short answer questions. Grades 10-12 answered individual questions which the freshman students were not subject to.

Freshmen took part in mental math computation relays which included a surprise activity and tie breakers. Grades 10-12 competed in team questions, relays and tie breaker questions as well, followed by lunch.

Students began practicing and studying for Math Field Day back in December, Goode said. Hurricane students took home the top honors in the overall team category, which involved a lot of practice and time consuming preparation.

“They practice together a lot,” Goode said of Hurricane. “They put in the time and it showed.”

After lunch, Jacob Plasters of Toyota spoke to students. Then members of the Putnam Area Robotics Team put on a demonstration for everyone, which was followed

by the handing out of individual awards and the winning team trophy to Hurricane High School.

“As a team our success was mostly about communication,” said Hurricane senior Elijah Schultz, who is captain of the Redskins soccer team and a national merit scholarship semifinalist. “We did a good job of delegating assignments and team questions, so that there weren’t too many people working on the same thing.

“We divided our resources pretty well and in the relay’s I think it was good because we had a game plan going in on who was going where and we had all been exposed to it, so no one was really panicked. I think that’s what was good for us a team.”

Toyota presented the first and second place scorers with a $500 scholarship and a $300 scholarship.

Old Colony Realtors gave $200 to each person in grades 10-12 competing at regionals. Fruth Pharmacy awarded $200 to the top scoring senior from each school. Putnam County Bank awarded $100 to the top scoring senior from each school. Mid Valley Mart awarded a $250 scholarship and Yeager Insurance a $500 scholarship.

The top senior scorers included Chance Williamson of Buffalo, Elijah Schultz of Hurricane, Luke Neal of Poca, Parker Holstein of Teays Valley Christian and Lincoln Patton of Winfield.

The top two scorers from each school were: Buffalo High School, Conner Fields (first) and Chance Williams (second); Hurricane High School, Elijah Schultz (first) and Garrett McCallister (second); Poca High School, Luke Neal (first) and Christian Buckley (second); Teays Valley Christian, Parker Holstein (first) and Brad Pauley (second); Winfield High School, Jarren Tay (first) and Lincoln Patton (second).

“Math is important,” Goode said. “All the people sponsoring Math Field Day showed how important it is to them.”

West Virginia Toyota General Manager Doug Shields presents the first place trophy to Hurricane High School. Students on the Hurricane High School Math Team include: Upperclassmen, Teddy Boggess, Jaret Brown, Erica Burns, Lindsay Jones, Garrett McCallister, Tevis Robinson, Elijah Schultz, James Snavely, Kennedy Snavely, and Brady Williams; Alternates, Caroline Leadmon and Njeri SegrestBrooks; Freshmen, Evelyn Bush, Kyle Casto and Meg Sorrells; and Alternate, Jackson Snavely.

Putnam Math Field Day Coordinator Louise Goode and Asst. Superintendent Dr. Cindy Daniel have fun drawing names and passing out gift certificates from area sponsors. A total of 73 upperclassmen and freshmen from Putnam County high schools competed in the mathematical event.

The championship meet will be held Feb. 19-20 at West Virginia University.

Winfield will send one boy and five girls, while Hurricane will send seven boys and five girls.

Winfield coach Linda Wollaber said she was impressed with her team’s determination to shorten their times and improve themselves.

“They did really well,” she said.

“They took off time and we’re real proud of them. They’re a great team. They’re willing to do more than average.”

Winfield junior Jared Wollaber took fourth place overall in the 500 Yard Freestyle with a time of 5:28:04. He beat his best time by nearly 11 seconds, qualifying him for state competition.

On the girls end, senior Sydney Road will swim in three events at the state meet, sophomore Alyssa Rittinger will swim in four events, senior Sydney Hancock will swim in four events, sophomore Madison Gray will swim in one event and freshman Morgan Gray will swim in three events.

“They’re dedicated and they’re really a good group of kids,” coach Wollaber said. “They get along with other teams and we’re just really, really proud of them. A lot of our kids were sick, they’ve had colds and everything and they’ve taken off time and we’re just thrilled that a lot of them will be going to states.”

Highlighting Winfield’s performance was Rittinger, who, with a time of 2:01:15, took first in the region in the 200 Freestyle. Hancock took second overall in the 50 Yard Freestyle with a time of 26:68, an

overall best. Likewise, the Winfield 200 Yard Freestyle Relay team took second with a time of 1:48:22, an overall best.

Hurricane boys swim coach Kathy Shurow said her athletes impressed her by posting personal best times.

“They all did a fantastic job,” she said. “They all swam very well and took tons of time off. I don’t really have to do anything- it’s the kids. They push each other.”

Shurow said several of her athletes performances were impressive, including a sophomore who only began swimming this year.

“Quin Shurow took multiple seconds off of his swims,” she said. “Luke Earls has been one that has always worked really hard and somehow always manages to take time off in the 50 and 100 free.

“Calab Laskey is new to swimming this year and probably has taken, just between last meet and this meet, six seconds off his 100 breast.”

Representing Hurricane boys at states will be senior Austin Harper with four events, Laskey with three, Shurow, a junior, with four, Earls, a senior, with four, senior Davie James, with three, freshman Cole Newman, with three, and junior Robbie Pearson with three.

Quin finished first in the region in the 200 Yard IM with a time of 2:06:55, a personal record. The boys 200 Yard Freestyle Relay team consisting of Earls, Harper, Pearson and Shurow finished first with a time of 1:34:83. Earls also took second in the 50 Yard Freestyle with a time of 23:21.

Hurricane girls also had a great day with all three relay teams qualifying for the state meet.

“The girls stepped it up today,” said girls coach Kendra Ragle.

“They all improved. They had best times. They did everything that we asked them to do.”
