Poca senior Christian Buckley provides a solid force in the paint for the Dots.

A dominant first half performance set No. 1 Poca well on its way to yet another victory in what has been a perfect season thus far. The Dots (14-0) trounced Herbert Hoover 63-23 and held the Huskies to just five points in the first half. “Our defense was outstanding,” said Poca coach Allen Osborne. “Our defense was just solid and really good. I’ll be honest…I’m really pleased with the way we played.” Osborne had every reason in the world to be pleased after the Dots came out of the first quarter with a 15-2 lead. Sophomore Luke Frampton’s stellar play led the charge right from the opening tip as he scored seven first quarter points and Poca went on a 15-0 spurt. “Coach was just pushing us in practice this week saying we had to come out strong,” Luke See Poca, Page 5

Sims Properties, LLC has reached an agreement with Colorado Springs developer Bencor, LLC to construct a 40,000 square foot grocery store with a pharmacy and gas station, said Gary Sims, Sr., CFO of Sims Properties. Sims Properties announced the conceptual plans to Fox Run residents during a Jan. 20 Home Owners Association (HOA) meeting, said HOA President David Conley. The proposed grocery store will sit on eight acres of land directly in front of the 22-house development. “We’ve entered into an agreement with a developer, Bencor, out of Colorado Springs,” Sims said. “They came to us. We’ve

been talking with them since July or August. They had a conceptual drawing. They don’t have firm plans yet.” Johnny Harris, president of the Putnam County Development Authority board of directors, was told the business will be a Wal-Mart. He has not seen the plans himself yet, however. “It doesn’t do the residents any good but create more traffic and a hassle,” he said, adding that a WalMart in that location will not fulfill an area need. “I think with Aldi just moving in to Teays Valley, Kroger has been there for years and years, I think with the businesses that are in Hurricane and the big Wal-Mart there, I think that’s enough to take See Development, Page 3

Hill knows the benefits of CAMC rehab clinic By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

On Oct. 2, 1992, Dale Hill of Scott Depot had to undergo a medical procedure few people knew existed, a quintuple bypass. Six weeks later, Hill entered the rehabilitation at CAMC Teays Valley and has been there ever since. Hill, who has been married to his wife, Kathern, for 67 years, goes to the cardiac rehabilitation center at CAMC Teays Valley three times per week, something he has

done every week since 1992. He said the cardiac rehab program has helped him immensely over the years. He only ever had one more cardiac surgery, a quick stent procedure. It was nothing compared to five simultaneous bypasses. “I’m sure that I’m more physically able now than I would have been had I not been coming,” Hill said, after his routine Wednesday session. “It’s helped tremendously.” Hill is a part of the rehab center’s maintenance program, which

helps people like him continue to work out and stay fit even after their immediate recovery is over. “Cardiac rehab is three phases,” said Kelly Stull, head exercise physiologist for the rehab center. “Phase one is in the hospital imSee CAMC, Page 3 Dale Hill of Scott Depot has been participating in CAMC Teays Valley cardiac rehabilitation program since he had a quintuple bypass in 1992.
