Hurricane, Buffalo set July 4 events By Michael Circle and Amanda White The Putnam Standard

Hurricane and Buffalo will host Independence Day celebrations July 4 with music, food and fireworks. The town of Buffalo will kick its celebration off with a 5K Walk/ Run. The run will begin at 8 a.m. at the Buffalo Town Hall. Following the 5K, the town will host a parade at 1 p.m. that will start at 18 Mile Creek and walk the road to the gazebo, where the rest of the celebrations will occur. Starting at 2 p.m., music will ring out from the park until 10 p.m. The genres will include country, bluegrass and gospel, with rock rounding out the celebration. There will also be a pie-eating contest, raffles and door prizes. Inflatables will be on hand from 2 to 8 p.m. Then, to close the night out, at 10 p.m., fireworks will light up the night sky in celebration of the nation’s birthday. Hurricane will begin its festivities at 8 a.m. with a run/walk supporting the West Virginia National Guard’s Gold Star Family Program at Valley Park. “We’ve got a lot going on that See July 4, Page 2

Paul Melton of Buffalo plays “Taps” at dozens of military funerals around the area, as well as the Winfield Memorial Day ceremony (bottom right). Melton is an Army veteran who met comedian and actress Martha Ray while serving (top right).

Man takes time to play ‘Taps’ By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com To many, a veteran’s funeral is among the most solemn and respectful events to behold. Old Glory lays across the casket, a three-volley salute rings out through the hills, and “Taps” is played. More and more frequently, the question is who will play the musical salute. Bugles Across America is a national organization that sends volunteer buglers to veteran funerals to play “Taps.” Since Jan. 1, 2000, all veterans are entitled to have at least two people to fold the flag and play “Taps” at no cost to the family. Veteran Paul Melton of Buffalo, a volunteer

member and bugler of BAA, has played his trumpet since he was in fifth grade. “I couldn’t tell you how many funerals I’ve played for, but very few for Bugles Across America,” Melton said. “I don’t know if it’s just that people don’t know about it in West Virginia. They play thousands, but I very rarely get a request for West Virginia.” Melton has offered his services for many funerals through the American Legion Post 187, Winfield office, but not as many through BAA. “We average about 50 funerals through the Legion a year with a firing squad with M1 rifles and ‘Taps,’ ” Melton said. Melton said the funeral directors know how to contact the honor guard for the funerals. When the buglers arrive on site, they are to

make contact with the Military Honor Guard, and wait for the appropriate time. Sometimes, however, there is not enough time to make the arrangements. “Many times, things happen so quickly, they can’t make the arrangements,” he said. “When you take people like us at the American Legion, it’s not an issue when the regular military cannot come to fold the flag because we have people who can do it just as well.” In the event of a request for “Taps,” the funeral director will contact BAA and an email will be sent to every volunteer within 100 miles of the funeral location, Melton said. Buglers need not be in the military. See Bugle, Page 3

Hurricane’s Rogoszewski commits to UNC By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com J.T. Rogoszewski has committed to play baseball at the University of North Carolina.

On the heels of a state championship, Hurricane pitcher J.T. Rogoszewski has committed to play college baseball at the University of North Carolina. He announced his commitment last week via Twitter: “Verbally committed to the University of North Carolina. Very blessed for this opportunity.” Rogoszewski was a Class AAA

first-team all-state selection this past season as a junior and also helped lead Hurricane to its first state championship since 2002. He finished the year with an 8-1 record on the mound and a 1.53 ERA. He’s also a standout basketball player at Hurricane. During his junior season he helped lead the team to the boys AAA championship game, where the Redskins lost by one point to Huntington. As for the commitment to North Carolina in the Atlantic Coast

Conference, Rogoszewski said he feels great about committing to a program with such a storied baseball tradition, even though he still has his senior season to play at Hurricane. “It feels great,” Rogoszewski said. “North Carolina is a great place and I am fortunate to have an opportunity to continue my baseball career there.” He’s already had the chance to See Rogo, Page 8

July 4 From Page 1 morning,” said city manager Ben Newhouse. “We’ll be there from dawn till dusk. It’s a lot of work.” Following the race, the celebration will continue at the gazebo at 3:30 p.m. with the Hurricane Civic Chorus, followed by the Independence Day Parade down Main Street starting at 4 p.m. “This is the largest Independence Day event in Putnam County with the largest fireworks display,” said Brenda Campbell, Hurricane’s Development and Tourism Manager. “It’s a wonderful day to be from Hurricane. It’s what we’re all about – family and tradition.” The celebration will move back to Valley Park from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m., where the city will have watermelon, clowns, water slides, food, a hot dog eating contest, ice cream, horse-drawn carriages and

much more. “As usual, we will be giving out an ungodly amount of pizza, ice cream and hotdogs,” Newhouse said. “We’ll give out everything until we run dry.” These, along with t-shirts and a variety of other refreshments, will be given out for free, paid for with over $50,000 in sponsorship money. According to Newhouse, the city of Hurricane sponsors $10,000 of the budget itself, which is almost exclusively used for the fireworks. Music will be the highlight of the evening with a performance by Colton Pack, an X-Factor contestant and country music performer from West Virginia. Additionally, this year’s event will feature skydivers who will unveil an American

flag during the “Star Spangled Banner.” To end the evening there will be a grand fireworks display at 10 p.m. “This is our largest event all year,” Campbell said. “We have other events we do, but Independence Day is our largest celebration.” Sponsors for the Hurricane celebrations include city of Hurricane, Putnam County Parks and Recreation, Putnam County Bank, Hurricane Volunteer Fire Department, A & L Builders/Tim Meeks Family, McDonalds, First State Bank, US Foodservice, Griffith & Associates, C.

Putnam PSD adds early detection system at plant By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

The Putnam Public Service District is preparing for the future by installing an early detection system that will monitor certain parameters before harm can be done. “We have been given a unique opportunity to prepare,” said John Inghram, water quality superintendent. “We can continuously test the water before it gets to the large source.” The decision to purchase the new system came after the Jan. 9 contamination where the state issued a do not use water alert for 300,000 customers of West Virginia American Water Co. after about 7,500 gallons of MCHM leaked from a Freedom Industries tank into the Elk River. The Source Water Monitoring Panel, manufactured by Hach Co. out of Colorado, will moni-

tor the quality of the incoming source water as it enters the small reservoir near the treatment plant in Scott Depot. If a contaminant is found, the alert system will send a message to the plant operator and district supervisor on their smart phones. The PSD can then decide if it needs to shut off the pumps that drain the Poplar Fork Creek Reservoir. The Putnam PSD gets its raw water from the Lower Kanawha River Watershed. It flows to the Poplar Reservoir, where it is pumped to the larger Jonathan Larck Reservoir. The reservoir holds the water until treated at the plant. Ingram said adding the alert system at an earlier stage will allow them to detect problems immediately. If a contaminate is found, the reservoir is large enough, at 560 million gallons, to continue to provide water to Putnam PSD customers for three to six months

before running dry, Inghram said. Inghram said if contamination occurs the PSD would call the state Department of Environmental Protection to the Poplar Fork Reservoir and people will still have clean water to drink. Although the upgraded security is not a legal necessity Inghram said it was the responsible thing to do. “We can test our water before it gets to the large reservoir, cutting contaminates off at Poplar Fork,” Inghram said. “It is the responsible thing to do for the residents of Putnam County.” The early detection system will cost about $40,000, Inghram said. It will test pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and organics and more. “We haven’t received the analyzer yet,” Inghram said, “but when we get it, it will protect our main reservoir, and keep it free from contaminants.”

Mountain View Elementary School was awarded a $14,000 Community Participation grant

Grant helps school buy tablets By Michael Circle Michael@theputnamstandard.com

With the tablet craze sweeping the nation, Mountain View Elementary is adding a number of tablets for education thanks to a Community Participation grant awarded in May. The $14,000 grant will be used to enhance reading and mathematics education among third-, fourthand fifth-grade students with the use of Samsung Galaxy tablets. The school must provide a match of $1,400. “Most of the teachers are hoping for two or three tablets per classroom,” Principal Sonya Shue said. “The teachers are very excited.” First-grade teachers will be getting a Galaxy tablet as well and the kindergarten classes will begin learning on LeapPads, a child-friendly version of a tablet made by Leapfrog. “We hope to integrate a lot of hands-on experience with the students in math and reading and I think these tablets will do that,” Shue said. Assistant Principal Kristi Barker is excited to give the children this opportunity. “It’s a great opportunity to give children, who don’t have access to

this technology at home, a chance to learn on these great devices,” Barker said. Shue learned about the grant when Troy Andes, a Republican member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, e-mailed her with the details. “He was excellent,” Shue said. “He told us who to contact and walked us through the process. He was with us all the way.” The school has until May 2015 to use the funds, but Shue said it should be spent by the time kids get back in August. “This will give our kids a lot of hands-on experience with fun and interactive ways to learn reading and math,” Shue said. In addition to the tablets, Mountain View will use grant money to purchase new science equipment. Some science classes are occasionally taught outside in the school’s new gazebo. “The kids love the gazebo as an outdoor classroom,” Shue said. “We would like to get some new equipment for it and for their classes out there. We are extremely thrilled to get this technology into the hands of the students.” The teachers have made up the “wish lists,” and orders will be sent in mid-August.

Red House native serves aboard USS Harry S. Truman A 1998 Poca High School graduate and a Red House native is serving on one of the world’s largest warships, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). Chief Petty OfďŹ cer Dustin Withrow is a mass communications specialist aboard the Norfolkbased ship, a Nimitz-class nuclearpowered aircraft carrier and one of only ten operational aircraft carriers in the Navy today. Named in honor of former President Harry Truman, the carrier is longer than 3 football ďŹ elds, at nearly 1,100 feet long. The ship is 252 feet wide and weighs more than 100,000 tons. Two nuclear reactors can push the ship through the water at more than 30 mph. As a 34 year-old with numerous responsibilities, Withrow said he joined the Navy because he wanted to serve his country and do something new and exciting. He added I was looking for something to catapult me into a career. “I ended up in a field that I love,â€? Withrow said. “The Navy is a fantastic opportunity for anyone.â€? He also said he is proud of the work he is doing as part of the Truman’s 5,500-member crew, protecting America on the world’s oceans. “The Truman is a great warship and it’s because of its crew,â€? Withrow explained. “They continually surprise us with how smooth they make it look, like it’s a piece of cake. We were recent recipients of the Battle E,â€? formally known as the Battle Effectiveness Award, which is awarded to selected ships for battle readiness after a yearlong evaluation. Sailors’ jobs are highly varied

W.Va. Trucking association announces champions Chief Petty OfďŹ cer Dustin Withrow is serving on one of the world’s largest warships, the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75). aboard USS Harry S. Truman. Approximately 3,000 men and women make up the ship’s company, which keeps all parts of the aircraft carrier running smoothly — this includes everything from washing dishes and preparing meals to handling weaponry and maintaining the nuclear reactors. Another 2,500 or so form the air wing, the people who actually y and maintain the aircraft. “I never cease to be impressed with the type and quality of work that goes on aboard Truman each day,â€? said Capt. S. Robert Roth, the carrier’s commanding ofďŹ cer. “Our team is ďŹ lled with highly qualiďŹ ed young adults – in many cases, 19 and 20 years old – and they’re out here running a complex propulsion system safely, serving as air trafďŹ c controllers, operating sophisticated electronics, launching and recovering aircraft when we’re underway, and keeping this oating city alive

and functioning. “I can’t express how proud I am to be a part of this team. They performed at the highest level, day in and day out during our recent 9-month combat deployment and are continuing to do so here at home. Their professionalism, dedication and commitment to excellence are second to none.� USS Harry S. Truman, like each of the Navy’s aircraft carriers, is designed for a 50-year service life. When the air wing is embarked, the ship carries more than 60 attack jets, helicopters and other aircraft, all of which take off from and land aboard the carrier at sea. As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s most relied upon assets, Withrow and other USS Harry S. Truman sailors know they are part of a legacy that will last beyond their lifetimes. “I’m proud of my service in Iraq and Afghanistan,� Withrow said.

After being conďŹ rmed members of BAA through the state director, buglers can get a “deep discountâ€? on this particular model, Melton said. “Being a volunteer requires a lot of time,â€? Melton said. “I decided to volunteer my time, and it is a lot of time and money for the gas and the horns.â€? Melton began playing bugle when he joined the Boy Scouts of America. He played trumpet in

the bands at Poca middle and high schools. He said his trumpet was like his best friend, he kept it with him always. At the end of the “Tapsâ€? sheet music, the Italian musical term morendo commands the bugler to “die away slowlyâ€?, giving an air of ďŹ nality to the piece, a captivating way to say goodbye. “When you are playing out in the open air, the fade into nothing is something to behold,â€? Melton said.

For those volunteers who are in the military, their dress uniforms are appropriate for the funeral, but those who are not can wear uniforms made for the BAA. The uniforms are militaristic but not ashy. “The bugler is not the center of attention at all,â€? Melton said. “As a matter of fact, I try to stand back a way. That’s what you do.â€? Melton’s military career involved three years of active service in the United States Army and seven years with the Ohio National Guard. He spent 15 months in Korea and volunteered to go to Vietnam.

Adkins took the top honor after competing in a variety of skill and safety tests. While he won his class in 2011 and competed at the National Truck Driving Championship, this is the ďŹ rst time he has won the Grand Champion Award.

The competition mirrors what professional truck drivers must do day-in and day-out to maintain safety records unmatched by any other segment of the driving public.â€? In addition to the driving competition, which included 33 professional truck drivers representing eight West Virginia-based motor freight companies, the association recognized drivers for their 2013 safety accomplishments.

Hurricane Little League splits weekend games The Hurricane Little League 11 and 12 year olds played in the area two, district three tournament this past weekend. The team lost Saturday’s game 6-5 to St. Albans. On Sunday they rebounded and won the game against Nitro 20-0 in a game that included eight homeruns. “All credit to St. Albans,” Coach John Bumgarner said about their loss Saturday. “Hopefully our kids learned from this loss and will use that going forward. It was evident in (Sunday’s) game. The kids just

relaxed and played ball.” Centerfielder Austin Dearing knocked two out of the park in Hurricane’s Sunday game, with Nic Kuhn following suit with two homers of his own. Max Basler, Cole Bumgarner, Brenden Lewis and Ethan Hefner had a homer each, which brought the team one away from the All-Star record of nine homeruns in a single game in 1982. “They are a great group of kids,” Coach Bumgarner said. “I couldn’t be prouder to be coaching them.”

The 12U WV Miners baseball team from Winfield placed second out of seven teams from Pennsylvania and West Virginia in the Diamond Duel Tournament in Morgantown on June 14-15. Team members include Noah Eskew, Blake Morris, Bryce Hall, Nick Edwards, Jak Kuhl, Parker Withrow, Carson Crouch, Andrew Whitney, Jacob Verno, Jake Losh, Austin Richardson, Stevie Short and Caleb Kuhl.

I’ll arrive on campus next summer to take a few summer classes and work out with the team,� Rogoszewski said. Rogoszewski did get some extra interest after beating Martinsburg in the first round of the state baseball tournament at Appalachian Power Park, but it didn’t change his decision. “I didn’t gain any new exposure (playing in the AAA state tournament), but it was a great experience,� he said. “I did have a couple other college offers, but I felt like North Carolina was the right fit for me.� Rogoszewski credited his family for helping him reach the point where he can sign with a Division I college. “I’d like to attribute my success to my competitiveness and the opportunities my parents have given me,� he said. “I would also like to attribute my success to my work ethic as well.� Hurricane head baseball coach Bryan Sutphin spoke highly of his standout pitcher. “The young man is obviously very talented and has all the ability and matches it with his work ethic,� Sutphin said. “He’s made a lot of sacrifices and it’s just great to see dreams come true for a student athlete because he’s earned it. We’re just thrilled to death for

him.� When asked about what part of his game he’d like to improve on when he gets to North Carolina, Rogoszewski says he’d just like to better his overall game and make himself the best player he can be. His fastball has been clocked at 90 mph a few times and usually sits in the mid- to high-80s, according to his head coach. Rogoszewski’s dream, just like many other young players, is to eventually get drafted by a Major League team. “Yes, definitely, my dream is to become a professional baseball player. I’ve always been a fan of the Detroit Tigers. “If I’m fortunate enough to get drafted one day I’ll have no complaints.� It’s roughly 14 months before Rogoszewski will ever step foot on any college campus, and as for what his major will be, he’s still

undecided, but his head coach says there’s so much to look for from him on the field. “The best is yet to come for him,� Sutphin said. “He has the chance to keep getting better and better.� When Rogoszewski joins the Tar Heels, a familiar face will be there already: Nitro graduate Korey Dunbar just completed his sophomore year as a catcher for the team. North Carolina went 35-27 in 2014 and advanced to the NCAA regional for the 13th consecutive year. Four Tar Heels were taken in last month’s Major League Baseball draft.

Christian’s Sports Beat: Hurricane golfer plays in classic

By Christian Deiss Professional golfers from around the world will be playing in The Greenbrier Classic and a young Hurricane golfer will join the pros on The Old White TPC Course at The Greenbrier Resort. By winning the State Amateur nearly three weeks ago at The Greenbrier, Brian Anania will have that opportunity.

THEME: NATURAL DISASTERS

The 22-year old won the 95th West Virginia Amateur competition by two strokes over Evan Musari. On the putting green at the Sleepy Hollow Golf Club Anania shared with me his emotions on winning the State Amateur for the first time, “I was thrilled and excited when the final putt dropped. It was great to have my parents there, my dad was caddying for me and my mom rushed out from the gallery and both gave me huge hugs.” The win for Anania came two days before Father’s Day. During the four-day tournament Anania’s dad Geno served caddy for the former Hurricane Redskins golfer and his mom was in the gallery. Anania talked about having his parents being close by, “It meant a lot because they have been there every step of the way for me, supporting me while I was

growing up, always there for me through the good times and bad.” While playing golf for Hurricane High School he was a member of the squad that won three-straight state championships. Anania has been concentrating on golf for half of his life. I wanted to know how he got started, “My dad always played and I played with him a little when I was real young, but I started playing just about every day when I turned 11. He taught me a lot about the game and introduced me to the golf professionals at Sleepy Hollow, Jonathan Clark and Jimmy Harrison. They took me under their wings and really helped me to develop my game.” The fifth annual Greenbrier Classic begins today at the White Sulphur Springs resort and Anania is scheduled to tee off in the afterDOWN 1.

noon. I asked Anania his thoughts about competing in the tournament, “I am excited to get there and I’m looking forward to it. I honestly don’t know what to expect. It will be my first PGA Tour event so I know it is going to be memorable.” Anania just recently wrapped up his four-year college golf career for the Marshall University Thundering Herd. The classic is played on The Old White TPC Course, the course that was used for rounds two and four in this year’s amateur. Anania told me that will help him, “I have been fortunate enough to play a lot of golf on the Old White throughout my junior and college career. I think playing it in the State Am, under the pressure with the lead in the final group was a huge learning experience.” Anania was the youngest winner of the state

Amateur, since 13-time winner Pat Carter of Huntington. Carter won as a 21-year-old in 1989. Anania will represent the state of West Virginia when he tees off Thursday afternoon. Watching Anania win a number of West Virginia Golf Association events through his career has been Brad Ullman, executive director, “As young as Brian is, it shows the growth of the sport across the state. He has won at every level and I expect him to do well in the Classic.” Caddying for Anania during the Classic will be Jimmy Harrison, Sleepy Hollow’s Golf Professional. Be sure to check out www.pga. com to follow Anania’s journey at the Greenbrier Classic.
