Anania victorious at W.Va. Amateur It’s been a great couple of weeks for Brian Anania. The Marshall University graduate started off his 2014 championship season with a victory at the State Four-Ball Championship with partner Chris Williams just a few short weeks ago. Now, after finishing runner-up in last year’s Amateur Championship, Anania found himself hoisting the coveted Greenbrier trophy as the 95th West Virginia Amateur Champion as well as staring as an exemption into this year’s Greenbrier Classic. In what was a back-and-forth day atop the leaderboard, Anania’s steady play paid off as he was able to hold on to a two-stroke victory over Pineville’s Evan Muscari. After yet another gorgeous day at The Greenbrier Resort, The Old White, TPC once again challenged players as it held them to a final round scoring average of 75.1. Anania entered the final round with a two-stroke lead over Bridgeport’s Woody Woodward. After making a bogey on the par-3 third hole, Anania erased it with a birdie on the following. He added to his birdie total after carding a birdie, three, on the par4 ninth and added another on the par-5, 12th. His closing round of even par 70 included three bogeys and three birdies and was all that was needed to secure the title of West Virginia Amateur champion. SEE AMATEUR, Page 3
More than 300 volunteers helped to pack boxes for a summer food program Saturday at the Teays Valley Church of the Nazarene. Large stacks of canned goods and non-perishables lined the parking lot of the church for people to load into the boxes for shipping.
Volunteers pack 2,000 boxes for kids By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com Children in Putnam County will be getting food for the summer in a continuation of the Back Pack program that has helped many less-fortunate families in the area during the school year. The Feeding A Child Everyday Through the Summer (FACES) program will provide a box
of meals every two weeks through the summer months when children are not in school. “Schools offer a summer feeding program for children, but the children can’t get to the schools,” said Sonny Williams, pastor at the Teays Valley Church of the Nazarene. “This way, children will receive meals through the mail, and those who cannot make it to the schools can still eat.” More than 300 volunteers heeded the call and
helped pack boxes outside the church Saturday morning. Priority Mail packages lined one wall of the building while many more were being stuffed, taped and labeled. By the end of the day, the multitude had packed more than 2,000 boxes for delivery. “FACES represents the first time this community has truly come together,” Williams said. SEE CHILDREN, Page 8

ers will sell drinks and snacks as well as take donations for the new truck. The Hurricane Volunteer Fire Department has used the E1 fire truck daily since 1978. It does not pass current manufacturer standards. Many of the volunteer firefighters like Dave Kelley have used the truck since joining the fire department. “It’s been an excellent truck over the years,” the 33-year veteran said. “Those of us who have been here are going to miss it, but we understand it needing to be replaced. The new truck will increase safety both for us and the public.” A new truck will cost about $300,000. The department is holding multiple fundraisers like the carnival, motorcycle raffle and a 5K run to raise money. It also applied for a Safety Grant and the National Grant Program. Spade said that fire department
is selling chances on a 2014 Harley Davidson Street Glide. Cost is $20 per ticket or people can buy five raffle tickets for $100 and get a sixth chance for free. The drawing will be held at Hurricane’s July 4th celebration. People need not be present to win. The fire department is also holding its first Five Alarm Run, a 5K run on Aug. 2 at the Wave Pool Park. The cost of participation is $15 if pre registered and $20 on the day of the event. “This is the first time we’ve done the 5K,” Spade said, “but I think it will be successful.

John Amos showcases state-of-the-art landfill By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com Members of the Putnam County Solid Waste Authority had the opportunity to learn more about one of the county’s largest employers and to examine a state-of-the-art landfill. “Though we don’t have authority over the FGD landfill, it was a valuable experience to see and learn how AEP John Amos plant handles its waste,” Putnam County Commissioner Joe Haynes said. “The landfill is the model for how things should be done.” Haynes and other authority members recently toured the landfill at AEP John Amos plant. Executive Director Charity Fellure said it was a great experience for the group. “We never had toured it before, and this gave our board members a chance to see how John Amos operates and learn what they put into their landfill,” she said. Because it was the first visit for several members, Environmental and Lab Supervisor Jon Webster gave an overview of the plant and the operation. The John Amos plant is the largest power plant on the AEP system and sits on 400 acres producing 2,900 megawatts of electricity, he said. The facility employs about 320 people. “We use about 7 million tons of coal each year here at the plant,” Webster said. “We have a large coal pile … with most of it arriving via barge or rail.”
34,000,000 cubic yards remaining, developed and undeveloped.” Although Webster said the lifespan of the FGD landfill is 19 years, it is not tied to the life of the John Amos plant, said Phil Moye, spokesman for AEP. “The reason we have dates for some of the smaller plants is because those plants will no longer meet environmental regulations,” he said, referring to some plants due to come offline in the next year. “The John Amos plant, on the other hand, meets all current regulations. Certainly any power plant has a lifespan, but as far as a date for John Amos we don’t know that.” The bottom and fly ash are transferred to the landfill across the street by truck, while the gypsum slurry is transferred by pipe. The gypsum is collected in tanks Members of the Putnam County Solid Waste Authority toured the AEP John Amos’ landfill.

Amateur
Follow us on:
From Page 1 Evan Muscari of Pineville found himself taking runner-up honors after posting a final round, 69, giving him a tournament total of three over-par, 283. Muscari, who recently took medalist honors at U.S. Open Local Qualifying, has also had a great month of tournament play but came up just short in his bid for the Amateur Title. Rounding out the top three was Wake Forest sophomore Woody Woodward. Woodward started his final round on The Old White, TPC finding birdies in a hurry. His open-
ing nine, 32, included three birdies and just one lone bogey which put him in a tie for the lead heading for the stretch. Unfortunately, a costly doublebogey on the 13th hole halted his momentum and Woodward found himself struggling to catch Anania during the final holes. Woodward’s final round of 72 gave him a threeday total of 285, good enough for solo third. In a tie for fourth were Tad Tamblin of Alum Creek and defending Amateur champion Sam O’Dell of
Hurricane. Both players finished with tournament totals of seven over-par, 287. Anania, with this victory, now finds himself receiving a special exemption into The Greenbrier Classic, which is scheduled to be held July 3-6 at The Greenbrier Resort. Other local residents who participated include: Sam O’Dell of Hurricane (287), Harold Payne of Hurricane (293), Chris Williams of Scott Depot (293), John Duty Sr. of Hurricane

School board recognizes schools, superintendent By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com The Putnam County Board of Education recognized three of its elementary schools while giving Superintendent Chuck Hatfield high marks at his annual evaluation. The three elementary schools presented with plaques from the state included Hurricane Town, George Washington and West Teays elementary. “These three schools have been recognized by the state of West Virginia as high performing reward schools,” Hatfield said. “There were 28 schools in the state of West Virginia recognized as high performing rewards schools and three are from Putnam County.” The award is based on being in the upper 10 percent in achievement in reading, math and language arts while at the same time having a narrow scope in the achievement gap between the low and high performing students, he said. “This is quite an honor,” Hatfield said. “We are always excited about recognizing our schools, our staff and the wonderful job that they do.” The school board also gave Hatfield exceeding standard scores after a 15-minute executive session. “Due to the way the things have been the last few years in Putnam County and continuing to improve on an annual basis we are extremely happy and satisfied with the job
Mr. Hatfield has done,” president William Legg said said. “We are very pleased with Mr. Hatfield and to have him at our school.” Legg said the board realizes that “a good chief has to have good people.” “We know you have done that and you have been the one picking, so you get the credit for that also,” he said. “As long as things continue to improve we’ll be happy. “We are easily the best school system in the state of West Virginia. Your next task is to make us number one in the United States.” Hatfield appreciated the vote of confidence and the support from the board. “I’ve said and will continue to
say, it certainly is a team effort,” he said. “None of us could do it by ourselves. I appreciate the cooperation I get from this board.” During Monday’s board meeting Hatfield also offered a statement and an explanation to clear up controversy and anger surrounding former Winfield High School Coach Leon McCoy not speaking at Winfield’s graduation. Hatfield said that both McCoy and Principal Bruce McGrew are honorable men. “McCoy is beloved by his school, his church and this community,” he said. “He has served the people of Putnam County for nearly 50 years as a mentor, example and friend.”
He said that the decision to prohibit coach McCoy’s religious graduation speech came solely from a need to uphold the law. He cited a 2000 Supreme Court case, Santa Fe Independent School District v. Jane Doe, that stipulates school administrators cannot knowingly allow a speaker to give a religious speech at a schoolsponsored event, specifically like a graduation. “We, on this board, were caught in a crisis not of our making,” he said. “As individuals we believe in the words of coach McCoy’s speech. As leaders of this school system we must uphold the law.” Hatfield said this was a learning experience for everyone. “We are all simply doing our jobs and obeying the laws of the land,” he said. “We need to put this behind us and do the right things for our kids.” The superintendent’s comments came after Scott Depot resident Joe Haught addressed the board and asked them to reverse the decision about McCoy speaking at graduation. He cited a recent New York Supreme Court ruling dealing with prayer at a town meeting. “If you invite someone to speak just like I’m speaking right now you can talk about anything you want,” he said. “You are free to speak about God, Jesus, whomever. I wish you all would take that into consideration and rectify decision on coach McCoy.” In other business:

didate for House, Shelley Porter of West Virginia American Water and Andre Wilkinson of Pioneer WV Federal Credit Union. Before introducing keynote speaker Keith Burdette, executive director of the West Virginia Development Office and secretary of the state Department of Commerce, Chapman thanked the program participants and the sponsoring businesses. “We appreciate the time you’ve taken to go through the program,” he said. “We appreciate your employers for letting you go through the program and we appreciate all of the people who took time to present.” Burdette congratulated the class and spoke about the past and future of West Virginia. “When I tell folks in West Virginia that we are competing because we fundamentally changed in the world of business, they don’t believe me,” he said. “We are competing. We still aren’t done changing and we still have challenges, but so does every other state in the country.” He highlighted the state’s energy climate, coal production, natural gas and wind farms. He also spoke about his recent trip to Japan and
a manufacturing session featuring Millie Marshall, president of Toyota Motor Manufacturing West Virginia. “Millie talked about women in manufacturing and the success of Toyota in West Virginia,” he said. “She talked about the eight expansions, the billions of dollars in investment, the 1,400 employees. She became a calling card for us.” He said that West Virginia is doing more and more across the country and world, but it still has work to do. “We aren’t ready for the jobs that may come to our state,” he said. “In the next 10 years by a very conservative effort there will be 30,000 more jobs more here than what we have college graduates.” He said that West Virginia has to change culturally and convince young people in the state that they have to do more than just graduate from high school. “If we are going to be a competitive society in the next 25 years we have to make a major overhaul and major effort in our workforce and education system,” he said. “We can compete on taxes. We can compete on all of these fronts, but if we don’t have the people who can do the job we won’t get the business.”
The Putnam County Board of Education recognized four elementary schools as high performing reward schools. Pictured, left to right, West Teays Assistant Principal Candi Hatfield and Principal Valerie Fowler, Hurricane Town Elementary Principal Debbie Spicer and George Washington Principal Mary Beth Myers.
* Board members approved adding four new positions – information systems engineer, communications and events coordinator, director for the Career & Technical Center and a new kindergarten teacher at Confidence Elementary. All four positions are full time. Karen Nowviskie has been serving in the communications role for the schools the past 10 years along with her duties of directing early childhood education in the county. She said she likes writing and has enjoyed the job, but as the schools have grown so have her responsibilities working with the county’s 14 elementary schools. “I loved doing it but communicating and writing press releases for our schools is a full-time job,” Nowviskie said. “We have a lot of great programs and events that people need to know about.” * A contract for re-roofing George Washington Elementary was awarded to Harris Brothers for $244,000 by the board. “We received a couple of bids and they were the lowest,” Hatfield said. * School board members unanimously approved cancelling 75 prior years outstanding checks totaling $8,499.98. Hatfield noted this is an action taken by the board every year to clean up accounts. * The next regular meeting of the Putnam County Board of Education is 7 p.m. July 7 at the central board office. All meetings are open to the public.
Chapman agreed with Burdette in that there are a lot of things going on in West Virginia, especially in Putnam County. “Here in Putnam County we have been very fortunate to have a lot of new businesses,” he said. “In the last seven months we have done 12 ribbon cuttings.” He challenged the group of 14 to continue what they started. “I know that you feel like you come to the end of the program, and you have,” he said. “But I want you to make this the beginning and get involved in the chamber. There are plenty of committees. There are plenty of things that we are doing that can help make Putnam County better for all of us. I don’t want this to be your final day. I want this to be your first day.” Hill participated in this year’s leadership program. He and his family have lived in the area for 10 years. “It was a very good learning opportunity,” he said. “I learned about the growth and the opportunities available in Putnam County. I also learned about the great programs offered by organizations like that chamber that help promote growth and attract new businesses.”
Leaders From Page 1 The 2014 Leadership Putnam County classes started on April 3. For nine weeks the participants gained a thorough understanding of services in the county and how decisions are made. It concluded with a graduation ceremony on Friday at Sleepy Hollow Country Club. “This is one of our programs we are most proud of,” Chapman said. “If you are new to the area and need to learn about Putnam County this is a great program.” The graduates of the 2014 Lead-

Marshall University offers science camps Three faculty members from Marshall University’s College of Science are offering hands-on science exploration experiences for middle and high school students on Marshall’s Huntington campus this summer beginning Monday, June 30. Kids will have the opportunity to participate in fun and engaging hands-on laboratory activities during both the four-day and half-day camps, said Marshall Biology Professor Dr. Suzanne Strait, who is offering the camps, along with colleagues Dr. Wendy Trzyna, associate professor of biological sciences, and Dr. Mindy Armstead, assistant professor of integrated science and technology. Depending on which camp or camps students choose, they will be interacting with and learning about microbes, the environment or skeletons. Costs for the camps are $65 for a four-day experience and $20 for a half-day camp. Other camp expenses are covered by a grant from the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission. Camps for students who will be freshmen through seniors during the 2014-2015 school year and want to explore careers in science are as follows: Monday-Thursday, July 7-10, 1-4:30 p.m. - Microbes In, On and Around You Dr. Wendy Trzyna, Department of Biological Sciences Find out why microbes are the hottest single cells around by getting into the lab and culturing them! Students will be fascinated by diversity of microbes that are living everywhere around them – from their kitchen sinks and shower floors, to their cell phone covers, the foods they eat and their own bodies. The camp will culture and identify common microbes and learn a variety of microbiological laboratory techniques including the use of microscopes, preparation of microbial specimens for viewing, and tests for identification of microbes while we do fun and exciting hands-on lab activities. (16 students) Monday-Thursday, July 1417, 1-4:30 p.m. - Environmental Science Dr. Mindy Armstead, Department of Integrated Sciences and Technology This session will focus on maintaining aquatic resources for human and ecological uses.

Hurricane water festival captures students’ imaginations By Matt Gajtka matt@theputnamstandard.com The final days of the school year are typically challenging for teachers, with students often distracted by warm weather and vacation daydreams. However, several Hurricane-area fifth-grade classes found a remedy for that familiar early-summer malaise when they took part in the Children’s Water Festival on June 4 at Valley Park. With 14 stations set up by various federal, state and local agencies, the festival aimed to educate youngsters about one of the planet’s most critical natural resources. Professional presenters led students
in activities that addressed waterrelated topics like conservation, pollution, the water cycle and aquatic wildlife. “Being outdoors is exciting for the kids,” Hurricane Town Elementary teacher Kelly Boggess said. “It’s somebody different speaking, and hands-on is always good.” Physical learning is the goal at water festivals, which the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection puts on several times a year at various locations throughout the state. WVDEP representative Kim Maxwell trains teachers and presenters before these events, with a focus on engaging students. “When I’m recruiting, I say we want the activities to be interactive
and fun,” said Maxwell, coordinator of the WVDEP’s Project WET (Water Education for Teachers). “That’s the idea, that these kids are having so much fun that they’re learning about water without realizing it. “Interactive is the way to go if you can. There’s a really big difference between hearing something and experiencing it. It’s one thing to talk about it, but another thing to stand out here and say, ‘There’s water in the ground, the trees, the air.’ ” Maxwell said the festivals target fifth-graders for their combination of enthusiasm and learnedness. “They’re old enough to get it, but not ‘too cool’ for it,” she said.

“They’re still young enough to have a really good time with it.” Smiles and laughter abounded at Valley Park, a bright mood aided by a brilliant, sunny morning. Students took part in relay races, got a close look at native snakes and insects, created massive bubbles, tested pH levels in water samples and even received tutorials in fly fishing. “When they’re out of their seats, they pay attention more than usual,” Hurricane Town teacher Missy Ryan said as her students collected beads to represent the stages of the water cycle. Maxwell added that the water crisis of this past winter has more area people interested in environmental topics, especially as they pertain to keeping drinking water clean. “It’s at the forefront of people’s minds,” she said. “Kids are saying, ‘Where’s my water coming from?’ So that’s what we’re talking about:
where water comes from and how you can take care of it. That’s the big thing.” Another benefit of the festival is introducing vocational options for children who are starting to consider what type of a career they want to pursue. “The kids not only get to travel from station to station, but also they see different water resource professions,” Maxwell said. “They’re exposed to a bunch of different job possibilities. That’s a really cool part of it, too.” Beyond the City of Hurricane, which helped manage the festival, and the WVDEP, there were several other organizations that entertained and educated the fifth-graders. Also on hand: the National Weather Service, Waste Management, the West Virginia Division of Forestry, the Rural Watershed Association, West Virginia American Water, Trout Unlimited and Republic Services.

Fourth-grade AAU team wins West Virginia title By Chris Stadelman chris@theputnamstandard.com A group of local fourth-graders has won AAU basketball tournaments in several states, and now the youngsters are officially the best in West Virginia. The team, known as Team Coal of West Virginia, recently took the state title for its age group. It’s a sign of things to come, as the players expect to continue to grow together and compete at the highest levels. Trevor Lowe, Trey Hall, Kolton Painter, Isaac McKneely, Isaiah Adams, Evan Landers and Brian “Ye Ye” Johnson form the core, most of whom have been together for three years now. Ball boys Dylan Hall and Derek Lowe are around all the time as well, waiting for their chance to compete. “It’s about getting better, and that’s what we’re here for,” said Coach Austin Lowe, also Trevor’s dad. “We’ve been all over the East Coast, playing against the fastest, biggest and strongest. You’re not
Team Coal won the state championship 53-51, competing against the six best fourth-grade teams in West Virginia. getting better if you’re just playing locally.” John Painter serves as president of the AAU organization, which has added teams focused around third-graders and eighth-graders since forming. He said the players came from local youth league all-
star teams. “We built a team to compete, we didn’t just build a team to get better,” said Painter, whose son Kolton is a charter member. “As our team has grown we’ve grown into a more family atmosphere. The kids get along great.”
As third-graders, the players went 58-12 overall, and the team is 33-7 part way through the 2014 season. Most of the games are played between March and August, although tournaments can be found all year. Team Coal won the state championship 53-51, competing against the six best fourth-grade teams in West Virginia. The team lost by five as second-graders and two as third-graders. This year’s state championship actually marked the team’s fourth title already this year, adding to the Fast Break Shootout in Huntington (by 41 points in the championship game), Morgantown Youth Nationals and Parkersburg Elite Sports Center tournament. As Lowe noted, it’s about much more than West Virginia competition, however. The team finished as the runnerup at the Rumble in Charlotte tournament, providing the only real challenge (a six-point loss) to a team from Hampton, Va., that is ranked among the top 15 in the
country. The boys also made it to the semifinals at the Bearcat Classic in Cincinnati and competed in the “silver” bracket at the LeBron Tournament in Cleveland, the largest in the country. Painter said joining the AAU organization provided national structure for the team, which also is its own 501(c)3 organization. A fund-raising golf tournament and smaller fund-raisers during the year help offset expenses, which include thousands of dollars in tournament entry fees plus uniforms, equipment and travel. “We can accept donations from anyone,” Painter said. “We like to get a corporate sponsor. We want our kids to have the best of everything – uniforms, bags, equipment. (Parents) are still responsible for some type of payment, but we want to get the organization to the point where they don’t have to pay for anything.” Painter said the goal also is to eventually have teams for all levels from second-graders to eighthgraders.

Hometown Elementary School students culminated their year-long service and environmental project by releasing about 60 brown trout in Davis Creek at Kanawha State Forest. Students received the eggs in October and cared for the frye throughout their development. Trout Unlimited sponsors from the Kanawha Valley Chapter and Toyota Manufacturing of West Virginia helped to sponsor the daylong release event. After bidding their friends a sad farewell, students engaged in activities such as examining stream specimens (which will become their friends’ diet), learning to tie trout flies, casting a fly reel and conducting a nature walk.

More than 2,000 boxes were packed with food and prepared for shipping to the 630 qualifying Putnam County children.
Children From Page 1 “The community can visualize the differences between the weekend program and the whole summer needs. It tells you that this community rises up to meet its needs. It recognizes its needs.” The backpack-feeding program was started to help children who qualify for the reduced or free lunch program with meals for the weekend. Helping a child during the school year is as easy as donating $4 to the Putnam Education Partners Foundation. The child received meals on Friday provided by area churches and civic organizations. However after the school year ended, the program was put on hold. “The most important thing is to know kids will have food,” said Marcell Naylor, Winfield Middle School counselor. FACES ensures that these children will have lunch throughout the summer, even if they cannot make it to the schools. A total of 630 children in Putnam County will benefit from FACES. These children will receive food throughout the summer along with two boxes of hygiene products. Packages will be sent every 14 days to a needy child. The package includes food items such as cans of soup and vegetables, peanut butter, jelly, pasta, fruits, ramen noodles and cookies. The sanctuary of the church will be home to these boxes until their determined mailing date. The care packages have been separated into three groups based on which of the three weeks they will be mailed. “In Putnam County, we know
we’re the fastest growing area and we tend to think we have no needs, or needy (people),” Williams said. “We do have needs, and I think the community is recognizing that now. We have children that have great needs.” When the program started, it ran from a $6,500 grant but within one week, the community, including businesses and individuals, raised $43,000 to feed the children. “I love to see the children smile,” said Rhonda Wheeler of Mountain View Elementary School. “Over long breaks like Christmas or spring breaks, more food is given so we know they are being taken care of, but now we know that they are eating over the summer as well.” Many volunteers carried heavy boxes, loaded pallets, pulled jacks and stacked the boxes while others walked down rows of food, taking a few cans of soup, some vegetables and pasta, and dropping them into their box. “It was a great, great day,” Williams said. The packing day has passed, but donations can still be made to continue the program. The cost to feed one child for the summer is $87.50. Donations for FACES can be mailed to the United Way P.O. Box 830 Winfield, WV 25213. Checks should be made payable to “Backpack/FACES.”
