Monsanto site near completion

By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The ex-Monsanto site in Nitro, infamous for its production of Vietnam-era Agent Orange and the subsequent release of poisonous dioxin into the community, is nearly finished with its required rehabilitation after almost two years.

The site is owned by Solutia, once a subsidiary of Monsanto but now a subsidiary of Eastman Chemical, and, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, encompasses approximately 116 acres. The EPA became involved in 2002 when a member of the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection Hazard-

Putnam County students will be starting the year off with a special treat as Read Aloud West Virginia begins going into classrooms using its recently formed Putnam County chapter.

Read Aloud West Virginia, based in Charleston, is active in 25 counties across the state and enables volunteers to read in classrooms in local elementary schools.

“Our mission is to change the literacy climate in West Virginia,” said Laura Boggess, who is helping organize the Putnam chapter. “Our

goal is to start young and implement programs and strategies to help children learn to want to read and to make it enjoyable so it’s not just something they have to do.”

Boggess is holding a volunteer training at the main branch of the Putnam County Library at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 15.

She invites all who are interested should stop by.

Boggess said West Virginia has a harder time than most states across when the country when it comes to literacy, mostly due to the poverty that is rampant around

Rivers to Ridges Heritage Trail added a new stop on the scenic byway through W.Va. Rt. 62 in Poca to educate residents and tourists alike of the area’s rich coal-mining history.

The coal tipple in Raymond City was painted by Charleston artist Rob Cleland and dedicated

by Rivers to Ridges and the City of Poca.

“We’re trying to have sites along the byway in Putnam and Mason counties so people can

drive the byway and learn about the area,” said Rivers to Ridges Project Coordinator Lowell Wilkes. “This is how we hope people can learn about what’s around them.”

Cleland’s mural depicts the scene from generations ago.

Incorporated in the design is a steam locomotive waiting for coal from the tipple and the conveyer system that brought coal to the site from miles away, Wilkes said.

“If you moved in here, I’m a transplant, I wouldn’t have known this was a coal mining

area,” Wilkes said. “I’ve lived here long enough to know now, but if you’ve lived here a short amount of time, you’d never know about it.”

Poca officials were on the scene to celebrate the dedication and the ribbon cutting for the mural and its historical significance.

“I’m real proud of this,” said outgoing mayor Jim Caruthers.

“Getting this built was a big thing. It was just an eyesore. It’s hard to explain just how cruddy it was. [The mural] really turned out great. I look forward to seeSee Mural, Page 4

Winfield Elementary students help children in need

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Winfield Elementary student council members had an idea which they named ‘backpack buddies.’

“It’s what we call “backpack buddies,” said school counselor Vicki Dye. “Where we send food items home for kids who need them.”

The student council held its food drive for needy children from Nov. 10 to Dec. 19.

The student council, which is made up of 24 members in the third, fourth and fifth grades, meets once a month

with a focus on children helping children.

“We have one boy and one girl from each third, fourth and fifth grade class,” Dye said. “We come up with ideas on things that we want to do each month and we try to be very service oriented.

“The student council members came up with the idea of trying to help others with the backpack program.

We have a church that helps us right now, so they bring food items over to us each month and then I have a leadership team in fourth grade which helps me pack all the bags

every week.”

The students fill the bags with individual items. They usually include a couple breakfast, lunch/dinner and snack items and sometimes toiletry and school supplies as well.

Whatever isn’t used from the food drive for the school is sent out to other See Winfield, Page 4 Winfield Elementary student council members, left to right, D.J. Grant, Kennedy Briscoe, Allie Alderman, Anna Whitney and Ian Johnson held a food drive to help local children.

Wellness Coalition recognizes local groups, people

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

To celebrate the stand against underage drinking, the Putnam Wellness Coalition recognized Buffalo’s Tiger Mart #184, along with Putnam County Sheriff Steve Deweese and the West Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Administration, for their work in keeping minors from obtaining alcohol.

“I’m extremely proud of ABCA, the sheriff’s department and the stores like Tiger Mart for not selling to underage individuals, for caring about keeping the alcohol out of the hands of somebody under the age of 21,” said Bill O’Dell, project manager for the Wellness Coalition. “The youth of today are tomorrow’s leaders and if they can start off in a positive way, society is going to be much better off.”

Buffalo High School senior Hunter Jones attended the event to honor those being recognized. He handed plaques to Deweese, the ABCA members and Tiger Mart on behalf of all students that have taken the pledge not to partake in underage drinking.

“It’s always an honor to be able to be a part of your community and give back in one way or another either by recognition or a simple thank you,” Jones said.

“I’ve always had a heart for people my age and want to watch people better themselves, their lives and their future.”

After engaging in Underage Compliance Checks on 21 establishments in Putnam County, 17 stores were found to be in compliance while four were not. Tiger Mart was one of the 17 and played host to the recognition event for the coalition.

“Tiger Mart was among the 17 stores that did not sell alcohol to minors,” O’Dell said. “Catching someone doing something right is a good feeling. We gave certificates to every store that didn’t sell and Ti-

ger Mart was doing the right thing.”

The ABCA was recognized for its efforts in designing the compliance checks and tools to help stores card customers effectively.

Gary Robinson II, a spokesman for the ABCA, said the need to protect the youth should be on every mind.

“We want to inform the public that the need is great to protect the youth,” Robinson said. “Things can happen to impact a lifetime and it’s not just drinking and driving.

Underage alcohol use can result in homicide, sexual assaults, drowning, fires, falls, thefts, suicides; all those things can happen.”

Putnam County Schools surveyed high school juniors anonymously to learn the percentage of students under 21 who have consumed alcohol. The survey indicated a decline in underage consumption, O’Dell said, citing that over 75 percent of those asked had not had a drink of alcohol in the previous 30 days.

“Alcohol use is going down,” he said. “It is still a concern though because there are approximately 24 percent that have had a drink.

The mind does not fully develop until roughly the age of 25 so using drugs and alcohol can and will interfere with that development.”

Deweese was also honored for the sheriff department’s involvement in the compliance checks and the success of lowering the underage drinking rate.

“The main objective today is to reward the ones who are out here doing the right things as far as the cashiers and businesses that did not sell to underage operatives,” Deweese said. “The overall buy rate for last year alone was 21.4 percent.

Our intent is, with the collaboration of ABCA, Putnam Coalition and training with the cashiers and stuff, to reduce that down 10-15 percent or even more.”

Lady Generals fall to No. 1 South Charleston

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Senior guard Haylea Roberson promised her teammates she’d buy them all pizza if the Lady Generals didn’t fall by 70 points or more to No. 1 South Charleston. Every team member got what they wanted after the game, but they didn’t get the win, as the Generals fell 77-34 to the Black Eagles.

Roberson led Winfield (1-7) in the scoring column with 15 points and six rebounds. Sophomore Rachel Kraschnewski got the Lady Generals on the score board first with a turn-around jumper and finished the game with seven rebounds, however a myriad of turnovers plagued Winfield throughout the contest.

Winfield was stuck on five points while the Black Eagles (7-0) went on a long scoring run, extending their first quarter lead from 11-5 to 22-5 before Roberson connected on a 3-pointer to trim the lead to 22-8.

The Lady Generals finished the first quarter down 25-8.

“It’s hard for us with the limited number of kids we have,” said Winfield coach Chuck Slater. “It’s hard to simulate the kind of speed South Charleston plays with. We just wanted to run our offense the best we could and play defense, which I think at some points we did that.

“It may not look like it but I think our offense was better tonight as a unit than we have been the last couple games, so hopefully we can build on that.”

Turnovers continued to be the fuel for South Charleston’s offensive attack.

During one stretch in the second frame, the Black Eagles had seven straight fast break layups off of Winfield miscues, leading 40-10 at the half.

South Charleston went on a 9-0 run in the second quarter followed by a 15-0 run, stretching across the second and third quarters. By the time the run ended, the Lady Black Eagles had a commanding 46-12 lead.

Rhea Smith came up big in the low post for South Charleston and finished with a game-high 18 points on the night. The Lady Generals struggled to shoot over her in the lane and had trouble containing Smith on the offensive end of the floor.

“Our tallest player, Rachel, she plays a lot and I feel like she’s gotten better this season,” Roberson said. “Madison Turley is a lot better now and not so handsy with the ball.”

More of the same continued in the third quarter. The Lady Generals scored eight points, but the Black Eagles led 67-18 by the end of the frame.

Sophomore Rachel Kraschnewski goes up over South Charleston’s Rhea Smith for a shot while Winfield’s Haylea Roberson and Cheyenne Sawyers wait for a rebound.

“We actually came out with a good attitude and we had a lot better game than last time,” Kraschnewski said. “I didn’t play in the Hurricane game, so I don’t really know but overall I think we did pretty well for what we have, again.”

ing what we put on the other side of the tipple.”

From the artist’s eyes, the project offered a chance to be involved in the history of Poca and learn the stories of those who worked for the coal companies.

“What I liked about doing it was when people would stop and share some of their family stories about grandfathers who worked in the mine,” Cleland said. “One woman said when she was a girl, she’d take sandwiches to her grandfather and remembered seeing him with icicles in his beard. It’s just that, to share in their history of this area is pretty cool.”

Cleland used an overhead projector powered by his car battery to project the image on the tipple. He painted over his design on the concrete wall of the tipple beginning in August and finished in October.

During World War I, the site of the tipple also housed a large coal dock used for the transfer of coal up and down the Kanawha River.

Now, the area is the site of an Eagle Scout project, the water treatment facility and river access.

Though the rest of the tipple is gone now, the mural serves as a reminder of the coal industry and its life in Poca.

schools, Dye said. All the elementary schools in Putnam County are involved with the program and, as of Dec. 16, the students collected a grand total of 1,129 items, which they broke down into three categories, breakfast items, which had 180, lunch/dinner items, which had 662, and snack items, which had 387.

Dye said the students learn leadership roles through their “Leader in Me” program, which every Putnam County elementary school has adopted. They also learn service skills along with responsibility, communication and organizational skills.

“To be on the team you have to be a responsible student to be able to come down and participate in these things,” Dye said. “Organization. We do it every week. The kids know that they have to have their work done before they can

participate and that’s just with the leadership teams.”

The seven habits of being a good leader can be seen posted on the walls throughout Winfield Elementary. They include teaching the students to be proactive, making sure they “put first things first” and synergize.

“With student council it’s about planning ideas,” Dye said. “They have to keep a calendar to have all the events and things that we have going on. They’re also learning social skills. There’s a lot of times, not just with this food drive, but with the other things we teach them how to greet people when they come in.

“We’ve had several guest speakers in our building and the student council members are the ones that meet with them, shake their hands and make eye contact. We want the kids to have empathy for others. We

try to build character and teach the kids how to build good qualities.”

The students have set up two donation barrels where the food items are placed and even took the time to decorate them. A wide variety of food is placed the barrels, Dye said.

“The food can range,” she said.

“We try to have food that kids can prepare on their own. We try to make them healthier types of options, but we also think that if mom and dad are involved, then there might be some items in there that they can fix, like a box meal or a can of vegetables.”

On Dec. 18, the fourth grade leadership team packed the “Backpack Buddies” bags to be sent home with students on the Friday before Christmas break.

“We’re coming together,” Dye said. “We’re coming up with even better ideas than we might come up with by ourselves. It’s all about teaching the students that they can make a difference.”

Winfield Generals tame Princeton Tigers 62-50

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Seven different players scored and the Winfield Generals defense held the Princeton Tigers (1-3) to just nine points in the third quarter en route to a 62-50 victory.

The win lifted the Generals back to .500 on the season at 3-3 overall and improved their MSAC record to 2-0.

Senior shooting guard Bear Bellomy led the Generals with 25 points and nine rebounds. Junior guard Peyton Moore chipped in with 12 points, while freshman Andrew Huff and senior Alex Osburn each tallied eight points apiece.

“I was happy with the fact that the guys were coachable,” said Winfield coach Bryan England.

“The game plan that we had. They stuck to it and I was very proud of that.”

The Generals did turn the ball over 19 times, which is something the team needs to correct, England said.

“The kids really tried to do what the coaching staff asked them to do and that’s all I can ask,” England said. “We’re going to have turnovers with the inexperience but they were all coachable and I’m very proud with the way they performed out there based on our game plan.”

Two free throws by Moore put the Generals out ahead early 4-3 and they never trailed again. Winfield extended the lead out to seven points by the end of the first quarter and led 18-11.

Although Bellomy ended with

25 points, he said afterward that he felt like his shot wasn’t falling the way it normally would have, so he put some extra emphasis on driving to the basket and finished 7-of-8 from the free throw line on the night.

“It was my first game at point guard this year,” Bellomy said. “I tried to get more of my teammates involved like Peyton Moore, who really stepped up tonight.”

The Generals extended the lead out to double digits on a bucket by Huff with 6:18 remaining in the first half. Princeton pulled within six points on a made basket by Logan Watkins, but the Generals responded with a run of their own to close out the first half up 34-20.

With Bellomy at point guard, Winfield focused on getting more players involved offensively. In the previous game at Logan only four players hit the scoring column, England said.

“We really talked about that a lot,” Moore said. “Coach told us we need to get more people involved instead of just having Bear carry us. We really emphasized that this week and it really helped when he was at point guard. It seemed like we were more focused and Bear had more assists this game.”

Bellomy got into some foul trouble in the first half and had to sit about midway through the second quarter, but that didn’t affect the way the Generals wanted to play, Bellomy said.

“No matter what we’ll be high intensity,” he said. “I had to sit out the rest of the first half. I think me and Alex Osburn and Tate Han-

Winfield put the clamps down as the second half opened. The Generals pushed the lead out to 17 on a 3-pointer by Osburn and led by double digits the entire second half.

On the defensive end, Winfield knew they had to stop 6-foot-8 senior Aaron Ferguson, who had 43 points and 22 rebounds against them last year, but this time around he was limited to 15 points and

only had six going into the fourth quarter.

“Tate Hancock did an excellent job,” Bellomy said of the defensive game plan. “Everyone else around him did as well, helping off their man and doubling down.”

Putting the pressure on Ferguson proved to be very effective. Shutting him off down on the low block forced the Tigers to rely on a less than stellar outside game. Princeton shot 20-of-64 (31%) from the field, 8-of-14 (57%) from the foul line and just 2-of-14 (14%) from

3-point range.

“They don’t have very many great outside shooters,” Moore said. “Our defense forced them to shoot more from outside. We rebounded really well tonight and that really was a positive for us because they’re a pretty big team.”

After five road games to open the season the home crowd was certainly a welcomed sight for the Generals. They’ll take on Riverside at home at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8 and then travel to Capital on Jan. 10 for another 7:30 p.m. matchup.

Boggess and her team of volunteers will try to instill the love of reading again with interactive reading sessions that entertain the children while also giving them something to think about. In volunteer training, readers learn how to choose books that are interesting to children and how to read them in ways to make them connect.

“To watch kids get excited about a story is so amazing,” Boggess said. “We do require that volunteers go through a training. It really is a way to impart to the volunteers the

mission of the organization and to help them to understand that this is a bigger picture.

“We are instilling a love of learning and we want to develop relationships with these children by going into the same classrooms repeatedly.”

Boggess said she wants volunteers who love reading themselves so that they can easily impart that love to the children they see. She also said it is important to have volunteers of both genders so all kids feel included.

“We’re looking for people who love to read and want to share that with the kids,” she said. “We want readers who appeal to both sexes and who can be a role model for both.”

Boggess will begin reading in classrooms in Buffalo Elementary in January. Confidence and Rock Branch Elementary Schools will also have readers beginning in the new year. She said that any teacher who wants a volunteer reader can contact Read Aloud West Virginia at 304-345-5212.

Read Aloud From Page 1 the state.

“There have been a lot of studies that show the number of words a child is exposed to before age 4 influences their vocabulary later in life,” she said. “If you have parents who are in poverty and struggling through day-to-day life, they’re not going to engage their children in conversation and they’re not going to take the time to sit down and read with their kids.”

Boggess said the problems are seen when looking at standardized testing results around the state. She said up until fourth grade, children are learning to read. After that point, they need to be able to read to learn. If they haven’t reached that ability, they will continue to struggle throughout their schooling.

“The statistics from the Kids Count study from 2013 show that 73 percent of our fourth-graders do not read proficiently,” she said.

“We know fourth grade is a milestone. The majority of our kids are not reading to learn. They’re not proficient enough to reach that goal.”

Boggess said, as a child of Appalachia, she relied on books to show

her how she could improve her life.

However, she said, children these days don’t seem to be relying on books the same way as she did when she was young.

“I’m one of those Appalachian kids who, without books, my life would be very different,” she said.

“When I was a young girl, I loved to read and it showed me a different world. I think a love a reading is not quite as emphasized as it used to be. Going to the library used to be a huge treat for me as a little girl.”

Poca boys defeat Hurricane Redskins, 72-57

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Four players hit double figures for the Dots as they pulled away from visiting Hurricane in the second half en route to a 72-57 victory.

After the Dec. 23 win Poca’s record improved to 4-0 on the young season.

The matchup was a step up in class for the Dots, from AA to AAA, which is why Poca coach Allen Osborne scheduled the matchup. However, the defending class AAA state runner-up team put up a tough battle and made for a good game.

“I was really pleased,” Osborne said. “It was a great game for us to play. It made our team better. I don’t know how coach Sutherland feels, but I just thought it was a great game for us and it made our team better. I hope it made his team better.”

Poca sophomore swingman Luke Frampton knocked down a 3-pointer to get the Dots out to an early 3-0 lead, but Hurricane senior J.T. Rogoszewski answered right back with two of his own do get the Redskins on the board.

Poca raced out to a 15-9 lead by the end of the first quarter behind a barrage of 3-pointers. First Luke Frampton hit from behind the arc, then his brother, Noah, struck from deep range and then Luke nailed another, followed by a three from fellow sophomore Elijah Cuffee.

Noah Frampton then struck once more to round out the first quarter scoring.

True to form, the Redskins got most of their scoring from the senior tandem of Rogoszewski and Trey Dawson. Both players scored every point but one in the first half

Monsanto From Page 1 Now, 12 years later, Solutia has contracted work out to a Kanawha County company to rehabilitate the site, which is steadily approaching the ability to be redeveloped, said Drew Dunlap, director of the Putnam County Development Authority.

“They needed to put a cap on it,” Dunlap said. “They needed to cover it with dirt of a certain depth, which is a very simplified version of it. They’ve put tons of dirt on top of it, literally tons.”

Dunlap said the dirt cap has been put over an impenetrable sheeting

of sorts, which helps the pollution be contained. More importantly, however, he said the relationship with Solutia has benefitted Putnam County as they help to develop land off of the new U.S. 35.

“What they needed from us is dirt,” he said. “They needed this dirt and we struck an agreement that they could get it here. It’s incredible how much dirt they’ve taken. There was a period of time there where they were doing 100 truckloads of dirt per day.”

The excavation of dirt has enabled the development authority

to prepare for the development of the remainder of their business park on U.S. 35.

“What we gained out of it, this was going to be about 12 acres,” Dunlap said. “When they started hitting some rocky areas they actually expanded the area. They expanded it out. We expected to get about 12 acres of developable land once this was all over, now it looks like we’re going to get about 20.”

In addition to excavation, the contractors also prepare the land, planting seeds to fight erosion and clearing trees that can stand in the way of future development.

“It’s a win-win situation,” Dunlap said. “For us, we get this part made much more ready for development. They’ve cut all the trees and they’ve started bringing the hills down to a flat elevation- all of the elevation is now flat across there. It looks great. When you go up there now it’s flat as a table.”

Dunlap said the elevation will now make the site much more attractive for potential businesses.

“One of our biggest challenges here in West Virginia is flat land,” he said. “We deal with prospective businesses that we’re trying to attract to the area and it’s really nice to, instead of showing them a hillside with trees on it, now we can take them and show them that we have some flat land ready to bid out. It really shrinks the timeline for development, which is a good benefit when you’re showing these folks.”

Maranda Demuth, environmental communications manager for Eastman Chemical company, said using the dirt from the Frazier’s Bottom business park helped the project stick to a strict timetable.

“A large amount of soil was needed in order to properly construct the containment remedy,” she said. “The soil provided by the Putnam County Development Authority has been highly beneficial to the remediation process. It is estimated that the heavy construction at the site will be complete in the spring of 2015. The maintenance

and monitoring of the site will continue for many years.”

Demuth said Solutia at the time has no intention of redeveloping the land after rehabilitation and will work with county and state officials to find a buyer. The property is located in the Putnam County portion of Nitro, meaning the PCDA and Putnam County Commission will be instrumental in finding a bidder.

Dunlap said this should not be too difficult as the property is perfect for an industrial park. Additionally, with the rejuvenation of the Marcellus Shale gas lines, he said he expects chemical plants to move back to West Virginia.

“Once [Marcellus Shale lines] come back on line, a lot of the producers are going to move closer,” he said. “We expect a revitalization of the chemical industry. There’s no reason why a chemical company couldn’t use [the Solutia site] again. It’s got rail access, it’s on the river so it has barge access and it’s right next to the interstate.”

Flying Eagles outlast Redskins in thriller

By Trace Johnson For The Putnam Standard The Hurricane Redskins boys basketball team came up just short of knocking off unbeaten Woodrow Wilson as the Flying Eagles (5-0) outlasted the Redskins (2-4) 69-66 in a thriller.

Woodrow got its biggest lead of the game at 67-57 with just 2:44 remaining. The Redskins battled back and had a chance at the end Friday night, but came up just short after it was all said and done.

“We played hard, but we’re still just not as smart as we need to be at times,” Coach Lance Sutherland said. “Defensive effort I can’t fault. We played hard, but we just have to box out a little better.”

The Redskins jumped out to an early 8-2 lead with 4:49 remaining in the first quarter. The rest of

the quarter, however, saw much more back and forth action and Woodrow took its first lead of the game with 19 seconds remaining in the quarter to hold a 20-18 lead after 12 minutes.

The Flying Eagles extended their lead to 29-22 with 4:22 remaining in the second quarter, but Hurricane closed out the half well, cutting the lead to 36-32 as the teams went into the locker rooms at halftime.

The third quarter saw the Redskins regain the lead with 2:15 remaining in the quarter as senior J.T. Rogoszewski made a pair of free throws to put Hurricane in front 45-44.

“We just need to put a full game together,” Rogoszewski said. “Once we get a lead, we tend to make some stupid mistakes to let them back in it. If we just put a full game together, we’ll start winning these games.”

The Flying Eagles closed out the quarter nicely and regained its lead at 49-47 as the quarter came to a close.

The fourth quarter saw a lot of back and forth action until Woodrow extended its lead to the widest margin of the game at 67-57 with 2:44 remaining in the contest, but the Redskins would not go down without a fight.

After a steal and layup by senior Trey Dawson, Rogoszewski, who ended the game with 28 points, six rebounds, and two assists, made a layup to cut the Flying Eagle’s lead to 67-66 with just 59 seconds remaining.

Following a missed layup, Woodrow Wilson senior Noah Hancock, who finished the game with 19 points, was fouled and went to the free throw line for a one and one. He missed the free throw, got his own rebound, and put it back up and in to give

Woodrow a 69-66 lead with just 4.2 seconds remaining.

The Redskins near full court heave that followed came up short and Woodrow Wilson escaped with a 69-66 victory to remain undefeated. Dawson ended the game with 15 points, six rebounds and two assists, and senior Brandon Ford ended with 15 points, five rebounds and two assists.

“We definitely need to get better at defense, that’s what’s hurting us a lot right now,” Ford said.

The Redskins hope that this difficult stretch of opponents to open the season will help the team in the long run.

“We’re doing things right and we’re getting there, and our first six games have been probably the toughest six games that Hurricane’s ever played in a stretch, so I hope it’s got us to the point where we can compete with everybody else we play and I hope

that our spirit and our will to win is still there,” Sutherland said.

Hurricane hopes to build on this effort and get better before its next game.

“We still need to find that third and fourth option to go to and hopefully one of the other players will step up and become that scoring threat that we need,” Sutherland said.

“We need to practice on the situations like the end and what we should do,” Ford said. “Our effort’s fine, we just need to know how to finish the game.”

“We just need to make smarter decisions and not turn over the ball when we have a lead,” Rogoszewski said. “We need to learn how to keep the lead.”

The Redskins returned to action Saturday night at 7:30 p.m.

Saturday, Jan. 10 at Ripley and play Princeton at home at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 14.

Strong second half lifts Hurricane girls over Winfield

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com Behind strong performances from senior Abby Watson and sophomore Maddy Weeks, the Lady Redskins triumphed over Putnam County rival Winfield, 66-32.

Winfield coach Chuck Slater came into the Dec. 22 matchup with only eight players at his disposal.

Sophomore Rachel Kraschnewski and freshman Sydney Cavender both were out, Kraschnewski due to flu symptoms and Cavender may be out for an extended period of time with a broken bone in her foot.

“We missed both of them,” Slater said. “Then we got in foul trouble and we put in three people that aren’t quite ready skill wise, but they got in there and tried hard. Hurricane has a good passing team. I’ve coached there the past few years and I know all the kids. They’re very good kids and they play well together. We gave it a good effort and did the best we could. We’ll just try and make some progress and go from there.”

On the other side, Hurricane played without freshman point guard Mary Rogoszewski due to the flu, but the Redskins were able to weather the storm regardless.

Hurricane ended the first quarter up 13-12, despite missing five free throws which would’ve extended the lead even further. Hurricane went 9-of-25 from the line on the night.

“Abby wasn’t shooting very well tonight,” said Hurricane coach Austin Lowe. “Her release didn’t look good, but she’s not going to shoot like that very often. There was a lot of hype around this game and they were all excited.

“Once the second half came

around we settled down a little bit.

I think we were probably a little better on free throws in the second half, but whenever Abby’s going, we’re going. That’s just the way it works.”

The Generals began the second quarter with a long scoring drought, going without a basket for the better part of four minutes and allowing the Lady Redskins to stretch the lead out to 26-17 by halftime.

“We started out slow and then we picked it up,” Watson said. “We were playing without our starting point guard and that was tough, but we had people step up and we still got the win.”

The second half was all Hurricane. The Lady Redskins jumped out to a double-digit lead on a basket by senior Hannah Thompson.

By the end of the third Hurricane had expanded the lead to 43-27.

“Any time Winfield and Hurricane play, boys or girls, it doesn’t matter,” Lowe said. “They gave us the best they had and I thought they did really well, but we didn’t play defense very well in the first half, but in the second half we got a little tighter on defense and we played better.”

Hurricane finished with a 50-25 advantage on the glass. Watson led the way with 17 points and 14 rebounds, Weeks followed suit with 16 points and 10 rebounds and Anna Gordon equaled Weeks’ performance with 10 boards of her own. Kaylee Wooten also notched 13 points.

“Maddie Weeks is great,” Lowe said. “She’s going to be the Abby Watson when she leaves. She’s kind of that type of player, probably not from a physical standpoint, but she’s getting there and she’s a penetrator, she’s a rebounder and

she’s hell on defense. She gives 110 percent effort.

“It helps to have another on ball defender and another scorer. She’s really lightened the load. She gets in there and she’s scrappy, between her and Abby down low, they’re going to come up with the ball most of the time.”

Haylea Roberson led the Generals with 14 points to go with five rebounds. Roberson came in averaging 25 points per contest.

Cheyenne Sawyer chipped in with a double-double, tallying 10 points and 12 rebounds.

“We put a lot of hard work into it and we could’ve performed better,” Roberson said. “Hopefully we’ll play better when we play them at their place.”

Hurricane girls beat Poca, remain undefeated

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Poca High School’s Tori Ward leaves for the Netherlands on Jan. 14 to play for the North American Select Softball Team.

Poca’s Ward to play for NAST Cup Softball

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com

Tori Ward of Poca High School has her sights set on the Netherlands. Ward and three fellow West Virginia high school softball players have been selected to play for the North American Select Softball team (NAST).

The North American Select Softball team prides itself in representing the continent with great athletes as well as great people, which makes their selection criteria a bit different than most. The team is very specific as to who will be selected.

According to the NAST Cup website, the selection process is not only based on the ability of the athlete, but also on the player’s social skills and ability to get along with people. For the 2015 Cup, six teams made up of 10 athletes will form the rosters. The North American squad will take on teams from all over Europe.

Ward has yet to make a trip overseas, but said she’s very excited about the upcoming opportunity.

“I’m looking forward to playing against all the national teams over there and touring,” Ward said.

Ward looks forward to competing against great players, which she said will definitely help her game once she returns to the states. Ward is a junior and she earned second team allstate last season as a sophomore for the Dots.

Poca went 16-13 last season and Ward blossomed as one of the main hurlers for the Dots, compiling a 7-7 record, with a 2.16 ERA and 75 strikeouts.

Competing is what Ward said she enjoys the most about softball. She attributes a good portion of her early success to the constant push from her parents.

“I’m pretty competitive and very determined,” she said.

“My parents push me a lot and it helps, but they don’t push me too much. They just push me to the point to where I can get things done and I’ll practice and play well. My dad pushes me more. My mom knows when to step back, but my dad is very competitive.”

Ward lifts weights in the offseason and practices five days a week, in season and out of season.

“We started lifting,” she said.

“I pitch about three days a week and we have travel practice so, I do a lot in the offseason as well.”

To go along with the weight lifting, pitching practice and travel practice, Ward said the travel season never ends, but not playing any other sports and just having one central focus on softball has helped her focus on one central goal.

“I don’t have time to think about any other things that I would work on for other sports,” she said.

It doesn’t matter if she makes first or second team all-state this coming spring, as long as she’s on the list, that’s all that matters, she said.

Thinking ahead to college, Ward said she’d really like for West Virginia University to start up a softball program, but the Mountaineers do not currently offer Division I softball as an option.

Nevertheless, she’s looking forward to the added exposure she’ll get by playing on the NAST Cup team.

The other players from West Virginia who will accompany Ward on the NAST Cup team overseas are Jordan Hart of Elkins, Aaron Ward of Logan and Katie Engle of Herbert Hoover.

As far as sightseeing goes, Ward said she’d like to check out the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam. Ward and her teammates leave for the Netherlands on Jan. 14 and expect to be abroad for a full week.

After securing the win over Poca, Hurricane girls basketball advanced to 5-0 for the first time in senior Abby Watson’s career. But the Lady Dots (3-5) did not make the 42-34 victory an easy one.

With eight lead changes, and aggressive defensive play from both benches, the low-scoring match featured a Lady Redskin with a double-double and a Dot whose three-point game was air tight.

Watson earned her double-double on the success of her scoring and rebounding, grabbing a gamehigh 14 boards and tying Poca’s McKenzie Ball with a game-high 19 points. Watson said the team could have done better, but she’s happy with the 5-0 start.

“We weren’t patient on offense and did not play good defense in the first half, but a win is a win,” she said. “5-0 is great. I’ve never done that in basketball so we’ll have to see how we do and see if it holds.”

The Redskins have gotten used to scoring roughly 60 points in each of their first four games but they had to settle for 20 points less against the Dots’ defense.

“They played very good defense,” said sophomore Maddy Weeks. “They talked really well with each other and they’re quick.

We had a big height advantage, but I don’t think we used that to our advantage.”

The Lady Dots’ defense was underscored by senior post player Kendal Sayre, who recorded the team-high nine defensive rebounds. Freshman Aubrey Chandler added five rebounds of her own to the Poca total of 21.

“Poca plays great defense,” said Hurricane coach Austin Lowe.

“I can’t brag on Kenny [Sayre] enough. He does a great job and he doesn’t care if he wins 32-30.

He’s going to keep it low scoring.

He executed his game plan. We just didn’t execute ours. It was a good game with two good teams.”

Matching Watson’s point total, Ball scored 19 points for the Dots and exhibited her strength in shooting from the arc. She hit five 3-pointers that included a lead-stealing three to end the first quarter and another that was shot from just past half court to beat the buzzer going into the half.

“I think I’m getting out of my [shooting] slump,” Ball said. “I think our effort was over the top this game so I hope we can take that effort from this game and use it in the upcoming games.”

Poca coach Kenny Sayre said he thought the effort of his girls was as strong as it has been all season.

“The effort was great tonight,” he said. “We wanted it. We just

I’m proud of our defense. All year, we’re only giving out about 40 points per game. I’m proud.”

Hurricane took the initial lead but lost and regained it over the course of eight lead changes. Poca’s Ball sunk last-second three’s to steal the lead at the end of the first and second quarters.

After halftime, though, Poca was only able to score 10 points

while the Redskins recorded 17.

When Hurricane took the lead in the third change of the third quarter, Lady Redskins were determined not to give it up again and held the lead to the final buzzer.

Watson scored the go-ahead shot with two minutes left in the third quarter, giving Hurricane the lead at 30-28.

Hurricane’s next home game will be at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 13 against. Poca plays Tolsia at home at 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 8.

Ned Dickson was to have placed the first ornament on the Veterans Christmas Tree at Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s recognition of Veterans on Nov. 24. Dickson was unable to attend but Tomblin and First Lady Joanne Yeager Tomblin honored him at the event by placing Dickson’s ornament on the tree.

Edward “Ned” Dickson Edward P. “Ned” Dickson, 104, died peacefully on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2014. The Lord opened his arms and took Ned to join his sweet wife, Martha.

Ned was the second son born on Feb. 28, 1910 to Edward P Dickson, Jr. and Marie Louise Clement Dickson in St. Louis, Mo. Ned was predeceased by his older brother, Scott Clement Dickson.

Ned is survived by his son, Gary; daughter-inlaw, Ramona, of Hurricane; and grandson, Tyler, of N.Y.C., N.Y. There was always an extra pride in his voice when he spoke of his grandson.

Martha and Ned retired to Lake Placid, Fla., in 1972 and enjoyed 42 years in the sun, golfing, fishing, camping, beachcombing, and traveling. In 2012, Martha needed tender care so they returned to W.Va. and made their home with Gary and wife, Ramona. Martha passed in April0. 2012. Ned never recovered from the heartbreak of losing his wife of 76 years.

Martha and Ned were recognized by the Worldwide Marriage Encounter for being the longest married couple in Florida and this honor was recorded in the U.S. House of Representatives Congressional Record. Three kisses were their signature of love when leaving or returning to each other. Their demonstration of adoration was a joy to behold.

Following high school in Kirkwood, Mo., and studying engineering in college at Washington University in St. Louis, Ned worked his way to Spain on a “mule” ship and finished the summer traveling across Europe with friends. Upon his return to the states he worked on a dredging operation in New Orleans. On a New Year’s Eve blind date he met Martha and they danced the night away. So began their devotion and adventure.

Martha graduated as a registered nurse and married Ned on Jul. 10, 1936. They moved to Beloit, Wis., where Ned designed diesel engines for Bush Seltzer and Fairbanks Morris. Moving to Huntington, Ned continued his love of engineering by entering sales of stationary generators to the southern W.Va. and eastern Ky. coal fields.

These generators replaced mules in the coal mines and electrified the coal industry. He went to work for a Huntington company, Ensign Electric, where he designed and sold underground high and low voltage power centers for the coal industry in Eastern W.Va. In the midst of employment, the United States entered World War II. Ned enlisted in the Navy

and spent one year in the Norfolk, Va., shipyards building a mock up landing craft. Due to his extensive knowledge, Ned engineered the inclusion of diesel engines in these landing craft. He served on the USS Threat and was one of the first to land in Kobe Harbor, Okinawa, Japan.

He and Martha built a home and raised their son in Scott Depot, where Ned retired from Ensign Electric. Ned and Martha received congratulatory letters on their 70th wedding anniversary from Presidents Jimmy Carter, Gerald Ford, Bill Clinton, George H. Bush, George W. Bush, First Lady Nancy Reagan, Sen. Jay Rockefeller and former Sen. Robert C Byrd, and Gov. Joe Manchin and Gov. Jeb Bush. Sen. Shelly Capito, then Congresswoman, had a flag flown over the Nation’s Capital on Martha’s birthday for Ned. Ned was an acclaimed artist. His paintings and sketches grace businesses, Churches and homes across the nation.

Ned was to have placed the first ornament on the Veterans Christmas Tree at Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s recognition of Veterans on Nov. 24. Breaking his hip on Nov. 20 prevented him this privilege.

However, Tomblin honored Ned with a phone call during which they talked of trout fishing on the W.Va. Cranberry and Cherry Rivers. Tomblin honored Ned once again, by having a flag flown over the W.Va. State Capitol on Veterans Day. When asked to what he attributed his long life, Ned would respond “My faith, my family, and my love of this great country.” Ned was a member of Mount Vernon Baptist Church, in Hurricane, Teays Valley Presbyterian Church, in Scott Depot, and most recently, First Presbyterian Church, Lake Placid, Fla. He served the Lord faithfully through prayer, as Deacon or Elder, on numerous committees, and charity. He was a Mason and a member of the Order of the Elks.

The family thanks Dr. Enrique C. Sta Ana and his staff for their care of our loved one. The Angels at Broadmore Assisted Living will always have a special place in our hearts for their outstanding care and love. A very tender thank you to Ned’s favorites, Laura Spangler and Carol Cavender.

Pastor Ray Cameron continued his guidance and friendship to Ned, for which we are eternally grateful. A special thank you to Martha’s four nieces and Ned’s loyal friend, “Rex,” that were constant in their love and friendship. A memorial service will be held at a time to be determined.
