City of Hurricane seeks assistance

By Kelly Stadelman kelly@theputnamstandard.com The city of Hurricane is seeking financial assistance from the Putnam County Commission to widen the bridge at the city park.

City officials are also requesting the county’s help in getting rid of a dilapidated trailer on Harbour Lane.

City manager Ben Newhouse said that the West Virginia Department of Transportation has granted the city of Hurricane a $320,000 80/20 grant to replace the bridge going into the city park.

“This has been a hazardous situation over there with the one lane

bridge entering our city park,” he said. The city of Hurricane has to come up with the 20 percent match portion or $60,000.

“The Department of Transportation is going to pick up about $240,000 to $250,000 approximately, depending on bids,” he said. “The city is fortunate in that we’ve set aside $25,000 in our budget and Del. Troy Andes has given us an allocation of $20,000 towards this. We are still short about $20,000 to $25,000, depending on the bid.

Keileigh Cummings (front) was granted her most heartfelt wish by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and traveled to Disney World with her mother Sherry Cummings, her fiancé Matthew Caruthers and Keyleigh Caruthers.

Kindergartner gets wish

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Keileigh has experienced more in her lifetime than most 5-yearolds.

Diagnosed at nine months with bilateral Wilms tumors, she has seen more than her share of doctors and specialists. Also known as nephroblastoma, the Wilms Tumor is a rare form of cancer that affects a newborn’s kidneys.

Although this is indeed a grim circumstance, Keileigh’s story does not end in a hospital bed, but begins at “near death,” continues through the happiest place on Earth, and won’t end until a long time from now.

“She’s been through a lot,” Keileigh’s mother, Sherry Cummings said. “It was the worst news ever, but now, she is doing really good.”

Keileigh (pronounced kee-lee)

was granted her most heartfelt wish by the Make-A-Wish Foundation: to go to Disney World.

“I never seen him (Mickey Mouse) before,” Keileigh said.

“Mickey Mouse signed my doll.”

Over the course of seven days, Keileigh and her family visited the sights of the happiest place on Earth, seeing exotic animals, exciting Disney characters and magical sights and shopping for fun gifts to bring home. Cumming’s fiancé, Matt Caruthers, and his daughter, Keyleigh Caruthers, tagged along.

“Keileigh said she wanted to fly with me in the clouds,” Cummings said. “On the flight, she got to sit in the pilot’s chair. They gave her pilot wings for her time as a copilot.”

At the amusement parks, the family had their share of fun and adventure. They stayed at the Give Kids the World Village, a

resort created for children with illness or special needs.

“They had a life-sized Candy Land game, and they had all the different holidays every night,” Cummings said. “They had Halloween and they had Christmas.

The kids got to see Santa.”

The local Make-A-Wish organization, Greater Pennsylvania and West Virginia chapter, took Keileigh to Disney On Ice three times but when they offered to take her to Disney World, Keileigh was on dialysis four days a week. Cummings said she would not be able to enjoy it having to go to the doctor that often.

“She was on dialysis for two years, four days a week for 3.5 hours,” Cummings said. “She had to set still for that long. It was hard on her. She has a lot more energy than she did have. A SEE WISH, Page 4

Poca High School’s new head football coach, Teddy Stewart, talks with receiver Robbie Lacy about the route before a practice play.

Last year Stewart was a defensive assistant coach for Hurricane.

Stewart makes changes in Poca football program

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Poca High School’s football team will be kicking off the season with a new head coach, Teddy Stewart, who has a new set of demands for his team.

“The keys to success this year are to get the kids to be enthusiastic about the game,” Stewart said. “I want them to be accountable, but I also want them to know that they

can start every game with a chance to win.”

Stewart was part of the defensive coaching staff at Hurricane High School and was set to run the defense. He takes over at Poca for Bob Lemley who coached the Dots for 24 years, and won four state championships in 1994, 2001, 2002 and 2003.

Local coach connects with 2014 World Cup

By Christian Deiss One of the biggest sporting events in the world began last week and will continue through the early part of July. The 2014 World Cup pits 32 nations against each other to determine the best soccer team in the world.

Every four years the World Cup takes place. This year the tournament is being played in Brazil. The host country has won the event five previous times, the most recent coming in 2002.

My soccer coach Thomas Olivier, who grew up in France, has attended a number of World Cup matches. The first one was in 1982 in Spain and the last one in 2006 in Germany. I wanted to know from Olivier what it was like being at the World Cup. “Attending a World Cup is probably one of the greatest sports moments in my life,” Olivier said.

“Unless you have been there you can’t really imagine what it is like, for Americans it would be the same as going to the Super Bowl for every game. The atmosphere is thrilling, seeing different fans and different cultures.”

Olivier, who is also the Assistant Coach for the Marshall University’s Men’s Soccer team, was there in 1998 when his home country France won the cup.

The month long event is called by many the United Nations of Soccer. My favorite team is USA, which is playing in Group G against Ghana, Germany and Portugal, a very tough draw for the 23-member squad. Despite the hard group, Olivier says don’t count the Americans out.

“USA is in a tough bracket that is for sure, but it is doable, but they have to figure how they can get points and move on into the knock out rounds, that features the top two teams from each of the eight

groups,” he said.

Not selected to USA squad was all-time World Cup goal scorer for the Americans, Landon Donovan, as Coach Jurgen Klinsman decided that Donovan didn’t fit the style he was expecting of his players.

One of my fellow teammates is also excited about the World Cup getting underway. Cameron Nitardy of Hurricane told me recently after our training session what he likes about the World Cup. “It’s great seeing the best players in the world compete against each and finding out which team is the best,” Nitardy said. “It’s fun watching all of the different fans from all of the countries in the stands, they show up and root hard for their teams.

“USA is my favorite team and England is my second. I think USA is going to have a tough time this year, but anything can happen if the ball bounces their way.”

In the 2010 World Cup, won by Spain my second favorite team, the USA made it into the knockout round before falling to Ghana, the team they opened up against in this year’s tournament.

All of the matches will be on TV this year with ESPN airing the majority of the contests. Some people say watching soccer on TV is boring and not exciting enough, but Olivier suggests to watch more than just the player with the ball.

“Viewers should not only follow the ball but try to watch what is going on away from the ball and watch the other players move to get involved in the action,” Olivier said. “Many people not involved in the sport don’t understand the big picture and by watching what is going on away from the ball will help them enjoy and understand the games more during the World Cup.”To keep up with the World Cup, go to www.fifa.com, watch ESPN and may the best nation win.

Eleanor council denies pay raises Council election tie

By Michael Circle Michael@theputnamstandard.com

A new budget for the Town of Eleanor brought argument and disapproval among the town’s six council members.

With the budget deadline for the 2014-15 year days away, council members had to approve one of the two budget proposals.

The only difference between the two budgets was a 33 percent pay raise for both mayor Walter F. Halstead and recorder Lynda Casto.

“I am the lowest paid city employee,” Casto said. “My workload has not decreased; it has increased.”

Halstead said the town’s budget could not handle the pay raises.

“We just picked up 20 new employees,” Halstead said referring to the town’s reacquiring of the city pool and park from Putnam County Parks and Recreation on July 1.

The trouble with the vote for the new budget approval was in the relationship between council members Kevin Childers and Casto. Because they are siblings, Childers was unable to sit in on the vote due to West Virginia state code 6B-2-5. The code states public officials may not vote on a

“personnel matter involving the public official’s spouse or relative.”

With Childers, the mayor and the recorder unable to vote on the budget that left four council members to decide whether or not the Halstead and Casto received pay raises.

Council member Kim Clendenin’s motion to approve the budget with pay raises for the mayor and the recorder was seconded by Dave Lewis.

When put to a vote, the budget suffered a 2-2 split with the “nays” given by members Eric Blankenship and Jack McLane.

If the budget was not passed at the meeting, there would be no city employees come July 1, Halstead reminded council members.

Casto, who has been recorder for 20 years, said six years ago the town reduced her pay from $11,800 a year to $8,000.

“They said with computer software, the job would be easier,” Casto said. “I don’t have to manually do business licenses anymore, but now, I do payroll, taxes, worker’s comp and more.

“I’m not looking for a raise as much as I am asking to be reinstated to where I was six years ago.”

Clendenin agreed with Casto.

“Lynda is the only one who went backwards,” she said. “And they added so much to recorder that it isn’t recorder.”

McLane and Blankenship disagreed with the raises insisting that it was bad timing and the town’s budget couldn’t handle paying out more salaries.

“It would send a bad message to the town,” McLane said. “We should show the town we can be good stewards of the finances.”

Blankenship motioned for council to approve the budget without the pay raises. The motion was seconded by McLane.

The final decision: a 3-1 vote to approve the budget without raises.

Clendenin was the lone nay vote.

“Two years from now, we will know how well the pool is running and we can revisit it then,” Blankenship said. “It’s not a personal thing, it’s a money thing.”

Other topics in the June 19 meeting included a new trash cleanup service. The service would allow residents to leave large items on the curb, call the town hall and schedule a pickup.

This service will be in the testing phase through the end of the year.

The city will offer help moving items from the house if necessary.

Poca From Page 1 coach position at Poca,” he said.

“I was fortunate to get this job.

There aren’t many opportunities in Putnam County, so when one comes up, you have to take it.”

The Dots ended their 2013 season with a record of 1-9, their only win coming against Buffalo in September 32-28. The Dots only completed 48 of 117 passing attempts for 875 yards last season.

“I need this team and this town to understand that we are not a 1-9 team,” Stewart said. “This team has been down the past few years, but we can get confidence, and get some success.”

This year, Poca has a good core of seniors, Stewart said. A strong group of 25 players has regularly attended workout days and practices, starting the year off with a good foundation, he said.

Stewart’s goals for the team include helping to better the com-

munity, he said. He wants to build community support and, off the field, teach his team to be leaders in the community.

“This season, we want to get pride in our team, get people excited on Friday nights,” Stewart said. “We want to get people to the games.”

The Dots begin their 2014 season with a rival game against Nitro, which recorded a 41-22 win over the Dots last season. Nitro followed the Poca win with a 70-7 loss to the Hurricane Redskins.

“We have Nitro, a AAA school, first thing this year,” Stewart said.

“If we win, great, but if we don’t, we won’t base the whole season off of the first game. We could still go 9-1.”

The biggest challenge Stewart faces is time, he said. In his first year, he is going up against other new coaches that have a year under their belts, but he is brand new

to this team.

“Trust is a big issue,” he said.

“The players don’t know me and I don’t know them. We need to learn to trust each other. We have a clean slate this year, so let’s get it right.”

The Dots will play their first home game Aug. 29 against Nitro.

Other home games include Buffalo – Sept. 12; Scott – Sept. 26; Sissonville – Oct. 31; and Tolsia – Nov. 7. All home games are at 7:30 p.m.

leads to drawing lots

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Two familiar faces of Eleanor’s town council will be leaving the table as the newly elected council members take their places.

Councilmen Eric Blankenship and Dave Lewis are parting ways with the town’s decision-making group.

Blankenship will be moving back to Nicholas County where his family is. He said he would miss being a part of the town.

“I hate to go,” Blankenship said. “I put my heart and soul into this town, and I love every resident. But they can call me anytime they need to.”

Lewis’ position was not so easily lost. During the June 10 election there was a tie for the fifth council position between Tom Sheridan and Lewis.

Each received 40 votes.

“If there is a tie, the two have 48 hours to ask for a recount,” recorder Lynda Casto said. “Ordinance mandates that if no recount is requested the position is filled by drawing lots.”

When the dust cleared and a name was drawn out of the hat, Lewis was no longer a councilman of the Town of Eleanor. Sheridan was the winner.

“I have never known the town to have a tie,” Casto said. “I regret that it happened this way.

“I want to thank Dave

New council member Cam Clendenin previously served in the same capacity in the 2006-08 term. He will begin his term July 1. He is the nephew of council member Kim Clendenin “I am raising my family here,” Cam Clendenin said. “I see a lot of things to improve upon for families and kids.”

An effort that Clendenin intends to take up in the town is increasing voter turnout.

“I hope to use my position to increase that and get residents more involved,” Clendenin said. “I hope to have a much stronger turnout in the election in two years.”

Putnam man seeks signatures for Sunday hunting petition

By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

A Putnam County man wants to make Sunday hunting legal in Putnam County.

Earl White of Buffalo is a construction worker who works six days a week, usually off only on Sunday.

“I have a son that I have not taken hunting in three years,” White said. “I can’t take him any other time but Sunday, and we would like to go.”

White has written a petition that will put the issue on the November ballot if he can get signatures equal to 5 percent of the 2012 county-registered voters; that is 1,821 signatures. So far, White has turned in about 500 names to the county clerk’s office.

The petition has been posted

in several locations in the county, including gas stations, restaurants, grocery stores and local bars.

“I had trouble with the corporations because they have strict ‘no soliciting’ policies,” White said. “But the local businesses have been very supportive and understanding.”

White said the opposition he hears to Sunday hunting comes from farmers and church-goers.

“They are upset because they say people should be in church, but I think they can go to service and then go squirrel hunting,” White said. “The farmers are worried that they will be tending their farms and get shot by hunters.”

In 2002, West Virginia put the law into the hands of each county, allowing them to handle the situation on their own. Soon

after, 41 counties elected to eliminate hunting on the first day of the week. Only 14 counties in West Virginia allow Sunday hunting.

“The average blue collar worker works more than 60 hours a week,” White said. “For some of us, Sunday is all we have.”

The petition must have all 1,821 signatures and be turned in

by July 22 to be placed on the fall ballot. White has been getting his message out through Facebook, friends and independent business owners.

“Kids just need to be outdoors more,” White said. “That’s why I’m doing this. I want to get my son outside in the woods. Sometimes, you don’t even care if you kill anything, just as long as you are outside, enjoying the day.”

Hurricane From Page 1 gap of $20,000 to $25,000 toward trying to get this bridge in place.”

Newhouse said the city anticipates the project beginning in October.

He told the commission about other park improvements such as: adding a trail, installing LED lighting, acquiring a new concession stand, paving a two-lane road all the way to the top by the basketball courts and putting in additional parking.

“We are trying to keep up with the trend of people coming into the park, especially coming off 34 and into the city park the one-lane bridge is a very hazardous situation,” he said. “We are trying to keep up with Little Leagues and their growth.”

Commission President Steve Andes said that the commission will take a look at the county’s budget in July and let the city of Hurricane know if they can provide funds toward the project.

Newhouse also updated commissioners on the dilapidated trailer at 373 Harbour Lane. The property in question is just outside city limits.

“I appreciate the county’s staff looking into this,” he said referring to a conversation with county manager Brian Donat. “It is causing a little bit of an eye sore and a safety concern we are worried about it.”

Newhouse said the city’s main concern is “kids getting in the facility and possibly getting hurt.”

He said the city has offered its equipment to the landlord to help with the removal of the abandoned trailer.

“It is a slum and blighted situation that needs to be alleviated someway, somehow,” he said. “I

appreciate the county taking any kind of diligence toward the landowner to keep the grass cut and pick up trash.”

Donat said he has contacted solid waste authority, the health department and the planning office.

As a result Sandy Mellert, director of the office of planning and infrastructure, sent a letter on June 16 to the landlords, Tony Joseph Romeo Jr., William Romeo and Janet Sue Romeo of Wilton Corp.

“That was grandfathered property, it was there before we zoned the area,” he said. So as long as there is no great change to the structure it can stay. But this one trailer, it looks like it has been stripped of anything of value off of it. (Sandra) is starting enforcement action on her end because it doesn’t comply and must be removed based on the zoning ordinance.”

He said the health department has been out to the property in question.

“They are going to bring the issue up at the next dilapidated enforcement meeting,” he said.

“Solid waste is looking at offering financial assistance. There are grants out there to help with the removal of trailers.”

Commissioner Joe Haynes understands the frustration. He said that dilapidated buildings in the county have been an ongoing struggle.

“If we need to we can put the group together like we did when we cleaned up Black Betsy,” he said.

Also for the second consecutive time representatives from FLSchmidt did not attend a scheduled meeting to discuss the PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) agreement with commissioners.

County attorney Jennifer Scragg Karr noted that no one was present and asked commissioners if they wanted to move forward with the PILOT agreement.

“The deadline for the upcoming tax year is July 1,” she said.

“They’ve had the paperwork over a month. Starting on July 1 taxes will accrue. What will happen is they won’t be able to begin the PILOT until next year.”

Haynes asked, “if the company was aware of the July 1 deadline?”

Karr replied, “yes they are.”

On July 12, 2012 the county commission signed a Letter of Intent with FLSchmidt. The letter outlines FLSchmidt’s acquisition and development of about 10 acres of land in the Putnam County industrial park. It also stipulates that the company will construct a 142,000 square foot facility and provide a minimum of 70 jobs. At the completion of the facility, both the land and the facility will belong to the Putnam County Development Authority.

In return for the creation of jobs and the infrastructure, Putnam County Commissioners offered FLSchmidt a PILOT agreement.

“If their legal team is aware it is going to cost them money by not having it in place by July 1, I don’t think we need to take any action,” Haynes said.

Commissioners Andy Skidmore and Andes agreed with Haynes.

“They will be responsible for the taxes for the entire year,” Andes said.

Skidmore said if the company requested an emergency meeting the county would consider it.

The next regular meeting will be 9 a.m. Tuesday, July 8.

“We would have gone years ago, but her dialysis drained her.

I’m very thankful for the MakeA-Wish people waiting for her.”

During their stay, Keileigh said, they rode the Pirates of the Caribbean ride and it scared her, but she loved the animals at the petting zoo and riding the carousel. The family also went to the beach.

“The beach was the best time,” Cummings said. “It was our last day. We had already been to the three parks of Disney World, Orlando Studios and Sea World. On the last day, we said, ‘What should we do?’ So we drove to Clearwater Gulf. It was the girls’ first time at the beach.”

Even though things are looking up now, Keileigh’s life nearly ended very early. When she was 9 months old, Cummings took her daughter to the emergency room when she found blood in Keileigh’s diaper.

“We admitted her in the hospital,” Cummings said. “We found the cancer at 9 months old, it was huge.”

With cancer in both kidneys, Keileigh had to have surgery. Her right kidney was removed and the tumors in her left were taken out, but that did not end the problems.

In 2011, the doctors at Women’s and Children’s Hospital in Charleston gave little Keileigh three days to live and flew her to Cincinnati.

Keileigh lost her other kidney and was on dialysis for two years.

What followed was a strain on Keileigh’s immune system.

“Before she got her kidney, any cold or anything she got would put her in the hospital,” Cummings said. “She would get pneumonia so easily. After chemo, she was severely septic. All of her skin fell off from head to toe, her eyelashes and fingernails, too. It looked like she had been in a fire. It was from

the chemo. It had burned her up from the inside out.”

The doctors gave Cummings the news about her daughter’s future and told her to start calling in her family.

On Dec. 4, though, things turned around for Keileigh.

“We got the call in December that said they got a kidney,” Cummings said. “So we went up there to get it.”

Since her transplant, Keileigh has been doing great, Cummings said. Still there are challenges.

Keileigh is 5 years old and still wearing 3T size clothing.

“She will never get back the two years of growth she missed out on while on dialysis,” Cummings said. “And she is a little behind on speech. She has a speech therapist.

The biggest challenge is that we know kidneys don’t last forever.

I’ve heard of them lasting 20 years but most last about 10. Somewhere down the road, she will need another one.”

Then there is the good news.

“Her blood pressure has been really good,” Cummings said. “Her visits with the kidney doctor have been decreased to once a month, where they used to be once a week then every other week.”

Keileigh has the most exciting news of all, though.

“I start school,” Keileigh said.

“I want to check on the kids. Sit in class with kids and the teacher.”

Cummings said Keileigh, who turns 6 on Oct. 11, has been in the home-bound program, a program set up by the state for children who, due to illness or injury, cannot go to school. Now, Keileigh will be entering kindergarten and beginning her life as a regular kid.

“She’s been with me nearly all day everyday since the day she was born,” Cummings said. “When she starts kindergarten, I will be very nervous.”

June 30 deadline for businesses to file annual report

By George Hohmann West Virginia Press Association The deadline for West Virginia businesses to file annual reports with the Secretary of State’s office is June 30, but records indicate about a third of those businesses miss the deadline and face late fees.

West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant said her office will stay open late on June 30, the deadline for businesses to file.

“We want folks to know June 30 is the deadline and we want them to meet the deadline and not have to pay a late fee,” Tennant said. “We’ll be open late on June 30, probably until about 7 o’clock.”

There are about 95,000 for-profit and not-for-profit corporations and limited liability companies in West Virginia. Each is required to pay a $25 annual fee and file an annual report between Jan. 1 and June 30 with Tennant’s office. Sole proprietors are not required to file annual reports.

The reports filed with Tennant include a list of the company’s officers, the address the company uses for legal correspondence and the address where business is conducted. The reports do not contain financial information.

About 30,000 businesses typically fail to meet the deadline, said Tennant spokesman Jake Glance.

Most of the tardy filers pay a late fee, complete the required paperwork by Oct. 31 and return to good standing.

Tennant noted that the late fee has been lowered from $100 to $50 for for-profit companies and $25 for nonprofit entities.

Even so, 4,000 to 5,000 businesses typically don’t comply by Oct. 31 and are administratively dissolved, Glance said.

About 2,000 of those eventually pay the late fee and a $25 reinstatement fee and get back into compliance.

Glance said the top reasons businesses fail to file on time are: The business changed its address and failed to notify the Secretary of State’s office so it didn’t receive the reminder that is sent out every January; the business has closed, or the business has new officers who were not informed of the filing requirement.

The easiest way to file an annual report is through the state’s online portal, www.business4wv. com. More than 72 percent of all annual reports filed last year were filed online.

“We are really proud of these numbers that have increased over the last six years,” Tennant said. “We’ve been promoting this a lot more; we have streamlined it even more. We have made it easier for folks to be able to do a majority of their work online.”

Tennant is a former broadcast journalist and co-owns a media company with her husband. She said that as a small business owner,

Taxes is at www.jimsturgeon.com/index. php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1969:2011-guidebookto-wv-taxes she wanted to make filings easy.

“I knew we had this ability for online filings so we started promoting it,” she said. “The approach for me to this was, ‘How can we make it easier for businesses to be able to focus on their product and not their paperwork? How can we save them time and money that they can use to grow the business and hire more people?’

“I always say that one of the perks of owning a small business is you get to work nights and weekends,” she joked. “So when you’re working at night and you have to do some work with the Secretary of State’s office, we make it very efficient to be able to go online and get a Certificate of Existence or Certificate of Authorization that shows you’re in good standing if you need to give that to an entity or a bank. That is so important because 96 percent of our economy is run by small businesses.”

During office hours, businesses can quickly get answers to questions by using Online Help Chat.

Tennant gave this example of how the service can be used: “A flower shop owner in Tucker County, while tending to a customer, can ask a quick question without having to be on the phone with the Secretary of State’s office. We respond and you don’t have to wait on the phone — you can do other things. Small businesses folks in West Virginia are multi-taskers. That’s why this is a great feature for them.

“It has grown in popularity,” Tennant said of the service. “We started it from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Monday through Friday. Then

we went from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

We’ve had more than 5,500 chats with people” since the service became available in December 2011.

Most chat users have start-up questions. Glance said some questions don’t relate to the Secretary of State’s Office “but the staff finds the correct contact and guides them to the right place.”

The Secretary of State’s office is one of several that require business filings.

Anyone conducting any kind of business in West Virginia must register with the state Tax Department prior to starting operations.

The registration is permanent.

Deputy State Tax Commissioner Kristin Mounts said the Tax Department does not require annual reports. However most businesses interact often with the department because it administers several widely collected taxes, including sales tax and withholding taxes, and numerous industryspecific taxes.

Municipal sales taxes are the latest addition to the tax collecting and reporting requirements. Williamstown, Huntington, Rupert, Harrisville, Wheeling, Quinwood and Charleston currently charge sales tax. Fifteen additional cities want to impose a sales tax if they are accepted into the state’s Home Rule Pilot Program.

Businesses collect municipal sales taxes and remit the money to the state Tax Department monthly, quarterly or annually, depending on the amount. The department distributes the money.

Mounts said it is incumbent upon businesses that deliver goods or perform services in communities with a municipal sales tax to

make sure they collect and remit the tax. “Businesses are going to need to be cognizant of this and call us with any questions,” she said. The phone number is 1-800982-8297.

Municipal sales tax rates vary.

Mounts said it has posed a challenge to some vendors who provide software for cash registers in multiple locations.

Tessa White Carr, manager of the Tax Department at the accounting and consulting firm Arnett Foster Toothman, works with a variety of small and large businesses across the state. To be sure all of the paperwork gets filed on time, “It’s always a good idea to map out what is due and when,” she said. “If a business uses a public accounting firm or a consultant, they’ll also assist with some of those filings.”

Carr said it’s helpful to look over the state Tax Department’s 2014 tax calendar, which lists state taxes and deadlines.

New businesses and businesses that have experienced staff turnover or have recently moved are especially susceptible to missing a tax filing, Carr said.

In addition to state taxes, there are federal, county and city reports and tax filings. Some are not well known. Carr said two federal examples are special reporting requirements for those with foreign bank accounts and a fee imposed by the Affordable Care Act on companies with a self-insured health plan.

Once a business gets involved with federal and state tax filings it’s not unusual to receive helpful reminders from various agencies.

But seamless integration is an ideal, not a reality.

Earlier this month a company which failed to pay Charleston’s business and occupation tax for a decade paid $3.8 million in back taxes, penalties and interest.

“If you are a new small business owner and have no clue about any of the filings, it’s easy to miss things or not realize so many filings are due,” Carr said. “The 15th, the 20th and the 31st are the big dates each month. Industry specific taxes, such as the health care provider tax, severance tax, fuel tax and alcohol tax, are usually due monthly.

“State and other government entities are not out for you,” she stressed. “If you miss a filing by accident and you’re new and still learning, they’re very understanding and helpful if you call or write

a letter.”

Tax deadlines are top-ofmind with accountants like Carr but “it’s probably not as ingrained in the heads of an internal accountant or small-business owner,” she said.

A tip: “Definitely keep all of your documents in one location so it will be easier to find them,” Carr said. “Next year you can figure out what you did at the same time the prior year.”

Carr said businesses can benefit from consulting tax professionals not only to make sure deadlines are met but to learn about available tax breaks.

For example, some manufacturers can plan to take advantage of what’s known as the Freeport Exemption. “If I’m a manufacturer and I have this whole room of goods going out of state and I know exactly where they’re going, I could identify those goods before July 1 and they’re not subject to the property tax,” she said.

Licensed professionals need to be mindful of occupation-specific requirements. Examples: * Brenda Turley, executive director of the West Virginia Board of Accountancy, said the 2,242 certified public accountants in West Virginia must renew their individual licenses annually by June 30.

Turley said the usual explanations for late filings are: ‘I forgot,’ ‘I didn’t receive the renewal information in the mail,’ ‘I moved so the renewal information did not catch up with me,’ and, ‘I just got busy.’ * State Insurance Commissioner Mike Riley said insurance agencies are required to renew their licenses annually by June 30.

As for individual insurance agents’ licenses, they’re valid for a two-year period and the renewal dates are tied to the agent’s birth month “so we have renewals throughout the year,” Riley said.

Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin said through his spokesman, “In West Virginia, we have worked hard to create a climate where companies are encouraged to innovate, expand and create new jobs. Companies across the globe have noticed the changes we’ve made – cutting taxes, reducing workers’ compensation rates, strengthening our education system and others – and those improvements benefit our entrepreneurs and existing local businesses as well.”

Wednesday, July 2nd.

On Saturday, June 28 the Habitat for Humanity John L. Dickinson Family Homeowner Education and Community Center will host a free SKYWARN weather spotter training led by National Weather Service Meteorologist Mike Zweir from 10 am – noon.

To effectively predict the weather and warn for protection of life and property, the National Weather Service must have a thorough handle on current weather conditions throughout the region. Although they use many high tech pieces of equipment to predict weather such as weather satellites and Doppler weather radar to provide a wealth of information to forecasters and help protect lives and property, one of the best tools is still human

observations.

The SKYWARN weather spotter training will allow individuals to become the ‘eyes and ears’ of the National Weather Service in our area and help the National Weather Service determine when and where to issue warnings. Participation and vigilance is valuable and greatly appreciated but entirely voluntary, and after training individuals are under no obligation to report and cannot be compensated.

Participants will learn about the basics of storm development and the fundamentals of storm structures, as well as potential severe weather features and how to report the information. The class is free and open to the public. To register, call Amy at 304-720-0141, ext. 22.

Winfield basketball players compete in North-South game

By Philip See For The Putnam Standard State Player of the Year Jon Elmore of George Washington logged one final outstanding performance before heading off to play at VMI. He led the South squad to a 104-88 victory in the 32nd Annual North/South All-Star Basketball Classic.

Elmore’s 25 points led all scorers and earned him MVP honors for the South. Wade Martin of Point Pleasant scored 18 points and was named MVP for the North.

Former Winfield standout Zach Fisher played for the South and scored 11 points in the winning effort. Fellow teammate Taylor Hearn also represented the Generals on the South.

Recently retired Winfield head coach Pat McGinnis coached the South and was joined by a fellow retired state championship coach in Charleston Catholic’s Bill McClanahan. Tom Gutshall, who also retired at the end of the 2013-14 season with more than 500 wins at Tucker County, coached the North alongside Washington’s Don Bullett.

The game was tightly contested early, as David Park of Wheeling Central paced the North with eight quick points. Through the middle part of the first half, though, the South steadily built a lead and briefly pushed the margin over 20 points before taking a 53-36 lead into the half.

The North made a quick run to open the second half to cut their deficit to just 12. Elmore and the South squad responded, however, and built back their lead.

Three members of the South team joined Elmore and Fisher in double figures. Arick Nicks of Huntington and Josh Tunstalle of Greenbrier East scored 13 apiece, and Anthony Billings of South Charleston added 10.

Carrington Morris of Capital, Donte Nabors of Woodrow Wilson and Garret McCarty of Charleston Catholic each finished with 8 points.

Jerome Jones of Washington led the North squad with 23 points, and Park finished with 20 to go with

Martin’s 18. Jacob Neal of Roane County joined that trio in double figures with 13.

Earlier in the evening, Park won the free throw contest, Cal Cistaro of Notre Dame won the three-point contest, and Cody McClung of Nicholas County won the dunk contest.

Hurricane’s Henry Sorsaia was also selected to represent the South in the game but he was forced to withdraw due to an injury.

The win is the third in a row for the South, and it pushes their all-time record in the game to 26-6.
