Winfield teams advance in postseason Generals defeat Nitro in PKs

Winfield girls beat Hurricane

By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com

The Winfield Generals got more than they bargained for when they took on a pesky Nitro squad in the Class AAA Region 4 Section 1 championship game. Senior keeper C.T. Douglas made the save of the day after two ten-minute overtime periods could not settle the score. Douglas dove, thwarting the fourth penaltykick attempt for Nitro (12-5-3) and salting away the section title in favor of Winfield 2-1. “I’m probably gonna have heart problems after this game,” Douglas said, wide-eyed after the nail-biter, “There’s only been three PK’s this whole entire season and I missed

all of them so, I guess I picked a good one to be the first one.” The Generals were able to get out to a 1-0 lead in the first-half when senior Jesse Richmond scored on a penalty kick with 16:31 to go. Up to that point, the game had been a defensive struggle for the majority of the first-half. “As soon as I saw him point to a spot I knew I had the confidence to put it away,” Richmond said. “I’ve been practicing different directions every time so I kind of get a feel for it and then decide on the spot.” Winfield continued to play stingy defense for the rest of the half. A bit of good fortune came the Generals way when the Wildcats See Boys Soccer, Page 6

The two-time defending state champion Winfield girls soccer team triumphed over Hurricane to take the Class AAA Section 4 Region 1 title on Saturday. The Generals were led by sophomore Mary Lawman’s two goal effort in the final eight minutes propelling them to a 3-1 victory over the Redskins. “The players around me,” Lawman said as she referred to the two goal performance. “I couldn’t of done anything without them. They give me such good passes all the time and I wouldn’t be anywhere without them.” No. 1 Winfield (17-0-4) played state ranked No. 2 Hurricane to a scoreless first-

half. Afterward, the Redskins (17-3-1) were able to jump out and grab a 1-0 lead only seven minutes into the second-half on a free-kick from mid-field. The ball flew into a swarm of players in front before junior Alexa Halkias buried the goal to lift Hurricane up 1-0 at the 33:41 mark. “We gave them a great battle,” said Hurricane senior Abby Watson. “The final score, three to one, it definitely doesn’t reflect on the game.” The Generals struck less than a minute later on Jordan Pauley’s line drive goal to knot things up at one-all. The score was just the beginning of a three-goal run which See Girls Soccer, Page 16

Teays Valley MOMS Club celebrates Halloween By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The MOMS Club of Teays Valley celebrated Halloween in style as they welcomed new mothers during an open house at St. Timothy’s in-the-Valley Episcopal Church. Children from newborns to age five had a great time playing in the activity room at the annual Halloween celebration last Friday. The children ate festive foods and completed arts and crafts while their moms used the time to connect with each other and welcome new members. “It was an open house to invite people in the community to come check us out and just for our MOMS Club to have our Halloween party,” said Sarah Flick, president. “The party just gives mom a chance to catch up with moms they haven’t seen in a while and it encourages people to stay a little more active.” The MOMS Club of Teays Valley is a chapter of MOMS Club International and functions as a support group and activity center for stay at home moms in Putnam County. “It’s a nice way for stay at home moms to be around others mom

and get that support,” Flick said. “Staying at home with children, while gratifying in so many ways, can be difficult without support.” Flick said there is a place for a mom with any interests, as the MOMS Club of Teays Valley has special interest groups that take place throughout the week. Some of the interest groups include running, cooking, book and craft groups, in addition to age-based playtime, community service and monthly mom’s night outs. “Everyone has different interests and different schedules,” Flick said. “By giving lots of different activities, it gives every mom something they like to do.” Libby Hill, the current vice president of membership, said the MOMS Club has given her an outlet for the tough times in motherhood. “It’s just the support from just having someone else to walk through motherhood with,” she said. “It just keeps us from losing our mind during the long days at home when the only person to talk to is a little person who can’t talk back.” Hill said the moms help each other out at play dates, allowing every mom plenty of time to enjoy

the activity and take a break from constant child play. “It’s so nice to have other moms who help you with your kids,” she said. “It’s a good way for moms to actually interact without constantly having to chase kids. And it’s nice to go out and have some adult interaction.” Flick said the adults aren’t the only ones who have fun. Her two children look forward to club meetings, as well. “They look forward to seeing their friends,” she said. “Even Molly, who just turned two, looks forward to seeing her friends. It’s just a great way for kids to get that socialization before school starts.” To join the MOMS Club of Teays Valley, potential members must fill out an application and agree to club rules, including rules such as agreeing to discipline your child away from other children and following the rules of house-based play groups. There is also a $25 per year membership fee to assist with administrative costs, such as hosting the website and sending out monthly newsletters. Flick said all moms are welcome to join. For more information, email TeaysMOMSInfo@gmail. com.

A haunted Halloween carving spectacular By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

More than 400 pumpkins and carving kits were handed out at the annual pumpkin carving contest in Hurricane City Park. A Halloween symphony of screams and chainsaws played over the loudspeakers from the little league press box as dozens

of children found places to sit and start planning and carving their pumpkins. “Four or five years ago, I thought it would be good to give pumpkins away and have a free event where kids can carve pumpkins with their families and other kids,” said Hurricane Mayor Scott Edwards. “It was a great thing to see this many kids

here carving.” Winners at the annual event included: age 5 and under winner Emmalin Mick, age 6-10 winner Nathan Roche, age 11-16 winner Kimberly Smith and age 17 and older Pat Shirkey.Roche was crowned grand champion. The city of Hurricane provided free hot chocolate, apple cider and cookies.

Commission may increase employee benefits By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Employees of Putnam County may be getting an increase in their dental and vision coverage after commissioners said the current benefits package has not been adjusted in 20 years. After being handed a brochure at the County Commission Association meeting in August, Commission President Steve Andes said he saw a disconnect between modern vision and dental needs and the current program employed by the county. “There was a slight increase in benefits and we came back and

started looking at it,” Andes said. “Ours had been the same for 20some years and never increased. Obviously the cost of everything has gone up in the last 20 years. We got together and we all sat down. We looked at what it would cost to increase it and how to do it as a benefit for the employees.” Putnam County pays for the voluntary benefits (dental and vision) for its employees but those with families can volunteer to pay a monthly fee to cover family members. If talks go according to the preliminary plan, the current charge of $42 will increase to $50 for family coverage. “I don’t have a problem con-

sidering changes, especially for improvement,” said Commissioner Joe Haynes. “I would like to have [employees’] input. If this is something employees want and they’re willing to pay the extra costs, that’s fine.” “I think the main thing I would like to see is, with nothing being increased for so long, [giving incentives] for people to do the preventative measures,” said Commissioner Andy Skidmore. County Manager Brian Donat said they will survey the employees to determine whether or not they are interested in the new program. “I think it’s pretty reasonable,” Donat said. “It’s been close to 20 years and has never been adjusted. You know, $1,000 went a lot farther 10 years ago than it does today. We want to make sure benefits are still advantageous for our employees.” To improve employee benefits, the proposed change to the current program would include an increase in the county’s maximum spending limit in the amount of $250, meaning up to $1,250 of the employees’ cost would be covered. The county does not offer a benefits package with a premium, instead offering what is called a Defined Benefit Plan. If an employee were to reach the current $1,000 limit, benefits cease, so commissioners said the $250 increase would give the employees a little more wiggle room. Commissions are also considering to change the 50/50 split of type three dental visits, which includes crowns, fillings, etc., to 60/40, where the county would pay 60 percent of the bill until

reaching the proposed maximum limit of $1,250. The proposal also increases the amount covered for vision, increasing the amount to either $75 or $100. “You can’t go to the eye doctor for $50 anymore,” Donat said. “The commissioners wanted to look at it more to see what they could do for their employees.” If the changes are accepted, they will take effect in January, Andes said. The maximum increase on the county budget would be approximately $18,000, Donat said. If accepted, the county will have to come up with the money needed in excess of the $8 family coverage increase. In other business: * Early voting in Putnam County is underway and County Clerk Brian Wood said this year has shown a very high early voter turnout. “It is pretty successful,” Wood said. “As of right now, we have had 1,638 voters. It seems like the past five days have been busier than we were in 2010 when we had a total of 4,411 voters.” The voter count was as of Tuesday, but Wood believes it’s possible to have as successful of a year as they did in 2010. “We will get really busy at the end of the week,” he said. “It happens that way every year.” Early voting started Wednesday, Oct. 22 and will be open until Saturday, Nov. 1. Early voting is done at the courthouse in Winfield and the offices are open late on Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and open Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

On Election Day, voters will go to their own precinct, not the courthouse. Voting times are from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. * The Convention and Visitors Bureau will be moving to a new office at 4301 Teays Valley Road, Scott Depot, Commissioner Haynes said. The move will take place within the next few weeks as was discussed in the Oct. 15 CVB meeting. * Nov. 9 is the county’s seventh annual Veterans Appreciation Day, Haynes said. Retired general Terry Tucker, of Buffalo, will be the guest speaker for the event. “It’s one day a year that we take the time to say thank you to the people that served,” Haynes said. “We thought it would be appropriate to take a couple of hours out of our time to say thank you. These are people that, at some point in their life, put their life on hold to serve their country and this is our way of thanking them.” The VFW, American Legion, Marine Corpse League and St. Albans Junior ROTC will all have jobs in the program. There will be a 21-gun salute, presentation of colors and the guest speaker. *The commissioners went into Executive Session for approximately 40 minutes to interview Mark Witt for a position on the Putnam County Development Authority Board. His appointment will be effective Oct. 28, 2014 with a term that will expire Sept. 30, 2016.

Bison make Pirates walk the plank in win By Trace Johnson For The Putnam Standard The Buffalo Bison continued their football resurgence as they blew past the Fayetteville Pirates 41-6 on senior night, clinching a winning season in the process. After a 0-10 season just one year ago, Friday night’s victory resonates that much more with the Bison coaches and players. “Every win’s big after last year,” coach Mike Sawyer said. “Defense is playing a lot better the last two weeks, offense is doing the things we need them to do, kids are working harder in practice, and we’re just trying to get better each week and see what happens at the end of the year.” The Bison (6-2) started fast as freshman quarterback Ethan Burgess connected with senior Brandon Buntura for a 47-yard gain on the first offensive play from scrimmage. Just two plays later, senior Jordan Tucker found the end zone from 3 yards out to put the Bison up 7-0 with 11:11 remaining in the first quarter. “It’s always great to win, especially on a night like this, senior night. It’s all every senior wanted on senior night,” Tucker said. After a blocked punt by freshman Owen Tillis, Burgess connect-

ed with Tillis from 7 yards out to extend the Bison lead to 14-0 with 4:24 remaining in the first quarter. “Even though I wasn’t part of the team last year, you could see the change from last year to this year big time,” Tillis said. The Bison added to its lead on the first play of the second quarter as Burgess again connected with Tillis, this time from 4 yards out to extend Buffalo’s lead to 20-0 with 11:56 remaining in the second quarter. With 8:56 remaining in the second quarter, sophomore Dylan Lucas found the end zone from 58 yards out to put the Bison in front 27-0. After a Fayetteville (2-6) touchdown, the Bison found paydirt to close out the first half as Burgess connected with Tucker from 48 yards out to give Buffalo a 34-6 lead into the locker room at halftime. The Bison added one final touchdown with 11:51 remaining in the fourth quarter as Tucker found the end zone from 28 yards out to put the Bison in front 41-6. Buffalo’s defense continued to keep the Pirates’ offense in check and the Bison closed out the victory.

Poca falls at Wayne 44-20 By Zach Cumberland zach@theputnamstandard.com The Dots showed some signs of life this past Friday night before falling 44-20 to the class AA No. 2 state ranked Wayne Pioneers. The loss marked the 13th straight time Poca has lost to Wayne. The Dots (0-8) fell behind early when Wayne (7-1) scored just one minute into the game on a 27-yard pass connection from quarterback Grant Ferguson to receiver Cody Stiltner, putting the Pioneers up 7-0. The opening march took all of three plays. “We’re just trying to put kids in the right position on defense,” said Poca head coach Teddy Stewart. “We’re still young. We have to keep getting better and the kids have to start believing.” Ferguson completed 14 of 15 passes for 327 yards and five touchdowns. Wayne capitalized during the first half when Poca punter Grant Masters mishandled a long snap and set up the Pioneers at the 21-yard-line in Poca territory. Four plays later the Pioneers scored, 14-0. “We have a new kicker and we’ve made some changes trying to pin other teams back,” Stewart said, which likely was the reason for the special team issues. “We’re still shuffling some guys around.” After a 3-and-out on the next drive, the Dots had more special team issues when Wayne broke

From Page 1 rang a shot off the post with 12:45 remaining in the first frame. The Generals did go into the break up 1-0 on the Richmond PK, though. “I thought the kids dug deep,” said Winfield coach Mike Foster. “They were exhausted. They were worn out. They dug in and got it done. It wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t exactly what we wanted, but it’s a win.” Nitro’s Dylan Cavender knotted things up at one-all on a free kick from about 20-yards out. The goal came unassisted at the 13:28 mark of the second half. With just 2:30 remaining, Douglas made another diving save to help the Generals keep things tied until regulation ended. After both sudden death 10-minute overtime periods ended scoreless, the game went to penalty kicks. Richmond promptly scored his second goal of the night on the first kick attempt, but Alec Miller also hit on his PK to tie it up for Nitro. Then Steven Taylor scored for Winfield, but his effort was also answered by Cavender of Nitro. Senior Vlad Johns scored the third goal to keep the positive momentum rolling for Winfield and put them up 3-2. The key moment came when Nitro senior Chase Kirk knocked his attempt off the goal post and Winfield senior Austin Miller quickly scored following the miss to put the Generals up 4-2. “It’s more of a mental thing,” Richmond said referring to the penalty kick situation. “Even though the odds are in your favor it’s still the pressure of the section championships.” Miller’s goal forced Nitro senior Austin McKitrick to keep the Wildcats hopes alive in the five person shoot-out, but Douglas rose to the occasion making another diving stop and pushing the ball away. Immediately after the stop the rest of the Generals ran onto the field and pounced on Douglas in celebratory fashion. “Two years in a row now and only the third time in our history,”

the players and coaches attributed afterwards to a change in line-up philosophy. “We switched it up,” Lawman said. “We did four in the back at first and then we switched it to three in the back and we had three up top. That helped us a lot with the attacking aspect.” Winfield coach Marshall Hoff said the reason for the change was the scoreless first half. It is the reason Hoff decided to go with an extra striker out on the front line. “Going from that four-fourtwo to that three-four-three is detrimental to be able to be able to do that,” Hoff said afterwards. “It gave us a little bit of an edge. It also exposes some things but we covered it well.” The game tossed and turned for a bit until Lawman was able to corral a loose ball in the penalty box and send into the back of the net with some steam to give Winfield a 2-1 lead with 8:40 to go. “Nothing hurts me more than when they score first,” Lawman said. “It just gets me fired up and I just fight even harder.”

Then, with only 48 seconds remaining, Lawman got behind the Hurricane defense and sealed the win with her second goal of the night, giving the Generals a twogoal cushion and the section title. Haley Evans made one save for Winfield while Hannah Thompson stopped nine shots for Hurricane. “I’m very proud of the work and effort these kids have put in all season,” said Hurricane coach Shelly Young. “Winfield is a great team and I think they’ll do well at the state tournament. I’m just very proud of my girls.” The Redskins played without two first-team All-State performers, but Watson said the squad didn’t let that get to them. Winfield will take on No. 14 Huntington (13-6-4) tonight in the Region 4 final at Cabell Midland High School for the right to play in the state tournament. “We’ll be there and we’ll be ready to play,” Hoff said about the matchup. “That’s the game between us and the states. We look at it like that and we’ll have to give them eighty minutes of everything we have.”

Winfield senior Steven Taylor heads to the goal with the ball. Taylor was one of the three Winfield players to participate in the penalty kicks which propelled the Generals to the win. The team will play Spring Valley in the Region 4 game Thursday, Oct. 30. Richmond said. “It’s an honor. We deserve this. We’ve worked hard all year and it showed.” Winfield (16-2-4) finished the regular season ranked fifth in the state. The Generals will now move on to play No. 19 Spring Valley (10-8-1) in tonight’s Region 4 final at Cabell Midland High School. The winner will secure a state tournament spot that begins on Friday, Nov. 7.

Raze initiative launched in every W.Va. county For the upcoming 2014-2015 school year, the RAZE Teen Advisory Council (TAC) is introducing a new initiative focused on helping spread RAZE’s tobacco prevention message across West Virginia. The new initiative, called “Strive for 55,” aims to create a RAZE crew in all 55 counties of West Virginia by the end of the school year. Currently there are no RAZE Crews in Calhoun, Doddridge, Gilmer, Lincoln, Logan, Monroe and Summers Counties. TAC is asking every RAZE Crew to identify at least one school or organization within those counties without a RAZE Crew and tell them why they need to add a Crew to their community. The effort will include students writing letters, creating posters, setting up informational booths, making phone calls and doing whatever they can to spread

the message across West Virginia. “Many RAZE members know firsthand the cruel effects of tobacco on their family and friends,” said TAC President Jason Nichols. “It is important for us to come together to stand up to big tobacco and help continue the fight to make sure every West Virginian knows the truth about the negative effects of tobacco use.” Nichols said that once there is a new Crew is each county, the focus will be to grow the number of Crews in those counties with the fewest. “We are not going to stop recruiting new Crews and new members until we are able to make West Virginia tobacco free,” added Nicholas. In additional to the “Strive for 55” Campaign, RAZE is also introducing a new event to help RAZE Crews share their message

Hurricane’s Matthew Cooper and Winfield’s Issac Withrow reach for the ball. Redskins defeated the Generals 35-0.

Hurricane clinches playoff spot with win By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Before the cross county rivalry game between Hurricane and Winfield, the mayors of the respective cities offered each other a friendly wager. If Hurricane wins Winfield Mayor Randy Barrett would have to buy Hurricane Mayor Scott Edwards breakfast at his local Tudor’s Biscuit World. When the dust settled, the score was 35-0 in favor of the Redskins and Mayor Edwards. “We got the win, so that’s good,” Redskins coach Jeremy Taylor said. “We played kind of uninspired. It seemed flat but a lot of that had to do with Winfield. “They did a good job defending

us and they were pretty sound on that side of the ball. They slowed us down enough to make us trip over ourselves.” Generals coach Craig Snyder said Winfield could have been in the game but the team didn’t make enough big plays. “In the first half we gave them two touchdowns,” he said. “They scored two on their own, but that opening kickoff we fumbled. You can’t do that against a good football team. Hurricane is a good football team.” The Generals fumbled on the opening kickoff allowing for the ball to be recovered by Hurricane’s Jared Zickafoose. Three plays later, the Hurricane offense put the ball in the end zone on a 24-yard pass

RECIPE OF THE WEEK:

Chocolate Turtle Cheesecake From Aimee Canfield Ingredients: 1 (7oz.) pkg. caramels ¼ c. evaporated milk ¾ c. chopped pecans, divided 1 (9-inch) chocolate crumb pie crust 2 (3-oz.) pkgs. cream cheese, softened ½ c. sour cream 1 (3.9-oz.) pkg. chocolate instant pudding mix

from senior quarterback Dylan Tinsley to senior receiver Brandon Ford. “Our passing is getting better,” Tinsley said. “They still got an interception on me and its something I have to fix. We knew we had to come out and play strong no matter what. They’re always going to give us all they have.” Tinsley completed 16 of 32 passes for 209 yards. He threw a trio of touchdown passes and rushed for 14 yards and one touchdown. Ford caught the ball six times for 110 yards and two touchdowns. Tinsley also threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Connor Watts. Hurricane found the end zone twice on the run with an 11-yard touchdown run by Tinsley and a one-yard dive by Ethan Highlander. “I think we just came out, played lock-down [defense],” Highlander said. “The last few quarters, our offense was not really on fire but we still did what we were supposed to do and we got the ‘W’.” Hurricane senior Matt Cooper showed his strong defensive presence when he recovered a fumbled punt return a miscue that would

Though Hurricane won the game, Winfield’s star running back, Ethan Copeland, held the gamehigh in rushing yards with 52 yards on 15 carries. Copeland’s longest run was nine yards, a testament to the Hurricane defense. Hurricane’s win over Winfield improves the record to 6-2 and guarantees the team a playoff spot. The team’s ambition does not stop

at merely making it into the postseason. “We are in the playoffs but that’s not what we’re looking for,” Highlander said. “We’re looking for a ring. We have No. 1 [Capital] next week and we’re going to shock the world.” Hurricane will host the undefeated Capital Cougars (7-0) at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31. Winfield (2-6) will end its home season Friday when it plays St. Albans.

Winfield’s R.J. Weiford finished first in the class AAA Region 4 cross country meet. He and his teammates qualified for the state meet.

Cross Country

A total of 38 girls from five high schools participated in the class AAA Region 4 meet held at Hurricane on Thursday, Oct. 23.

From Page 1 The Bufflo boys cross country team finished second in class A-AA Region 4 and also qualified for the state meet. Buffalo’s Hayden Harrison added another win to his record as he finished first in the class A-AA Region IV race in first with a time of 16:48. Teammates Devin Rich (18:07) and Jonathon Wileman (18:09) finished in eighth and ninth place. Zach Goddard (19:20) and Ian Parsons (19:27) finished the race in 23rd and 24th, respectively followed by Jared Hayson (20:00) and Glen Armstrong (20:03) in 30th and 31st. The Lady Bison’s Autumn Persinger finished 15 out of 45 runners with a time of 24:28. Hurricane’s freshman Jenna Crouch won the girls race with a time of 20:45.3. It was her first win of the season. She was followed a second later by teammate Abby Short with a time of 20:46.2. “We worked together until the end when we pushed hard to get across the line,” Crouch said. “This win gives me confidence for the coming years. I hope to get in the top 20 in the state meet.” Despite feeling under the weather, Short placed second and helped propel the Lady Redskins to the regional championship. “I’m very proud of [Crouch],” Short said. “She was with me the whole way and passed me near the end for the win.” Six of the top 10 runners in the regional meet were from giving the team the win with a combined time of 1:46.33. Anna Gordon finished fifth with a time of 21:18, followed by Lexi Crompton in seventh at 21:39. In the ninth and tenth places, Kennedy Snavely and Carissa Lawhon finished with times of 22:03 and 22:17 respectively. Katie Halkias rounded out the Hurricane girls in 13th out of a total of 38 runners. Her time was 22:44. “The girls did an outstanding job,” Hurricane’s girls coach Eva Seccurro said. “It’s amazing. I could not be prouder. Unless it was long ago, we’ve never had five girls finish so high.” Winfield placed three girls in the top 10. Veteran runner Rachael En-

glund came in third behind Crouch and Short with a time of 20:53. “I thought I did well,” Englund said. “I think we ran well as a pack and as a team. We ran one of our best meets so far. I’m really excited for us to go to the state meet. I’ve been every year and it’s always the big moment we’ve trained for.” The Lady Generals won second place with a combined time of 1:48.44. Alexis Imperial and Alyssa Rittinger rounded off Winfield’s top ten runners in fourth and eighth place with times of 20:58 and 21:41, respectively. Anna Lumadue and Syney Hancock finished 11th and 12th with times of 22:31 and 22:41, followed by Morgan Gray in 22nd at 24:11 and Alex Moncado in 26th with a time of 25:25. “The girls did really, really well,” Winfield girls coach Kelsey Spang said. “I’m pretty excited for the state meet. These girls love it. It’s a lot of fun.” In the boys cross country race Winfield’s R.J. Weiford was the first to cross the finish line with a time of 17:05.8. He was six seconds ahead of a sea of Cabell Midland athletes. “It was my first high school win ever, so it felt good,” Weiford said. “It was great to go out there and win it on such a big race.” Winfield coach Shawn Anderson said he was really pleased with all of the runners’ performances. “It’s always our goal to qualify for the state meet,” Anderson said. “[Weiford] ran a good race. I thought he could finish really strong. He runs hard and works hard. I’m very proud of him.” Jake Henley led the Hurricane boys cross country team by placing fifth with a time of 17:40.1. “It wasn’t my best race,” Henley said. “Just getting back in the swing of things was good though. It’s always an honor to get to go to the state. “I qualified as a freshman and junior and now as a senior. I’m excited to get to go one more time and race with the best.” Alex Hughes (17:49.2) and Jacob Harmon (17:50.1) were the next Redskins to cross the line, finishing in ninth and tenth places, respectively. Sam Hughes placed 14th with a time of 18:33.3 fol-

You have seen the not so “Honest” mailers so what is the truth? If there is a Fair, Festival, or Function in District 22, which covers most of Hurricane and Southern Putnam County, along with parts of Boone, Lincoln, and Logan Counties, one thing is for sure Michel Moffatt is usually there, and if it is not during the school day, his children, Lindsay (6), and MJ (5) are usually with him. Michel has participated in County Commission Meetings, Hurricane Town Council Meetings, and

We have seen the stats now how to fix it? Michel Moffatt is committed to doing the following when he gets to the House of Delegates. 1.) End Frivolous Lawsuits & Fix Inventory Taxes - With a few changes to our laws, these would begin to bring high paying jobs to the area and the entire State. 2.) Push back the Federal Regulations by the EPA and get back to using Coal- The Federal Government must remember that we are 50 individual States and our State must have the say in what we do. WV Coal should be used to make WV Electricity sold in WV. The Federal Government should not be involved. 3.) Work to modify or eliminate the State Board of Education - Our State is too over administered and we spend to much money outside of the classroom. Students need to be the focus and that is where the spending needs to go. Parents have more influence on local school boards and local school boards know their students better. They can

the people in the District. The Delegate should have Town Hall Meetings to hear the concerns of the various communities in our County, and write articles for the paper reporting back on what is going on in Charleston. It is about time that the Delegate began working for the people of this District. Putnam County has been ignored too long. We need a Delegate from Putnam County. WE NEED REAL CHANGE!!! also work with the teachers to drive improvements. Teachers are also rightfully concerned about their retirement as it is not properly funded, with the Administrative cuts we can figure a way to fully fund it. 4.) With the increase in jobs, will come about a natural increase in wages for all jobs. As the demand for workers goes up and supply shrinks the entry level jobs will now have to hire people above minimum wage or they will go elsewhere. 5.) Happy, productive, well paid workers should lead to a decrease in all of the ills at the top of the list. An engaged workforce is more active and less prone to drug use and other physical maladies. 6.) Drug use - Randomly test ALL people that get a check from the government, from the Governor to the Delegates to the school teachers to the SNAP recipient. We need a drug free workforce and rehab for those that can’t beat their addictions. 7.) Accountability - This has a few areas but to start all Delegates must go on record for every vote. This would mean that people could know what their Delegates are doing. 8.) Proper spending - 7.5% straight across the board cuts is irresponsible government and borrowing from the Rainy Day fund is (cont...)

We need to look at all of our programs and cut those that need to be cut but we also must increase spending where it is needed as well. We need to have a clear set of priorities, and straight across the board cuts does not do that.

Hurricane boys lose soccer sectional match By Michael Circle michael@theputnamstandard.com

Hurricane boys soccer ended the season with a loss at Nitro, as the Wildcats defeated the Redskins 6-0. Hurricane played strong in the first half of the game, controlling the ball and keeping possession in its offensive zone, but after trailing 2-0 going into halftime, the Redskins could not regain control of possession. “We definitely, I think, outplayed them for 30 minutes strong,” Hurricane coach Coert Voorhees said. “But not getting anything out of that kind of deflated them and when their goal hit, it definitely crashes your morale.” Nitro’s goalkeeper, Chris Klocke, made the save on all of Hurricane’s nine shots and silenced the loud, aggressive attack the Redskins had early on. “[Klocke] is a very good goalkeeper,” Voorhees said. “You’ve got to play a lot better than just simple stuff.” Loren Meadows, a senior striker for the Redskins, led the team in shots on goal with six of Hurricane’s nine, but could not get past Klocke to find the back of the net. As the clock ticked down, Meadows and the other Redskins lost confidence in their ability to put the game away. “I don’t think, as a midfield, we did our best to help Loren out,” Voorhees said. “It also comes back from our defense.

Nitro’s Chase Jarrett found the back of the net on a penalty kick with 6:14 left in the game. Before the end of the game, a yellow card was shown for unsportsmanlike conduct. The culprit, or culprits to be more precise, drew the card after a Nitro player stepped on a Redskin after a knockdown. The Hurricane player also grabbed the Wildcat’s foot, drawing the card for him as well. With the 6-0 loss, the Redskins end their season. It was a tough

game for the Redskins, especially for Voorhees, who was forced to end his first year earlier than he wanted, but the team will be back next season in strong fashion. With only four seniors leaving (Loren and Avery Meadows, Elijah Schultz and Matthew Duespohl), the majority of the team will be made up of veteran players next year. “We are a young team now but we won’t be as young next year,” Voorhees said. “I think we will be a lot better.”

On Sept. 29 in Danese, W.Va., the U.S. Postal Service issued the Priority Mail® stamp, priced at $5.75, in a pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) pane of 10 stamps. The stamp went on sale to the public that same day. “Our staff at Babcock was aware the mill was being considered as a stamp image, and we’re delighted to learn it is a reality,” said Babcock Supt. Clinton Cochran. “The postmaster in Fayetteville called and told us it was being issued, and we are honored. The stamp is beautiful.” Babcock State Park is located in Clifftop in Fayette County. The park’s most popular attraction is the grist mill. Cabins, campground, riding stables, hiking and fishing also are part of the park’s appeal. The park is open mid-April through October.

The Winfield volleyball team won the 2014 Putnam County Volleyball Tournament.

Winfield wins Putnam volleyball tournament By Amanda Smythers amanda@theputnamstandard.com

The Winfield High School Varsity Volleyball Team put on a show last weekend, winning the Putnam County Volleyball Tournament in front of a home crowd. Winfield won its first game against Buffalo two sets to one, but struggled against Hurricane, losing 11-15 in the third set. “For some reason we’ll play good one game and then play bad the next game,” said Winfield coach Paul Chinuntdet. “We could have done better.” Hurricane, however, was thankful for the win. It was the first in a long series of matches against Winfield over the years. “They’ve kind of had our number over the past two years or so and we played them three or four times in the last three weeks and got a little bit closer every time,” said Hurricane coach Bill Dimsdale. “It felt good to finally get them so that’s definitely the highlight.” Hurricane won its first match against Poca in two sets before beating Winfield. The Lady Redskins later struggled against the Lady Bison losing in two sets 25-

18 and 27-25, respectively. “It was a great day with a lot of great, competitive matches,” said Buffalo coach Brian Null. “The girls played with a lot of energy against Hurricane. That was probably the best moment for us today.” The young Lady Dots struggled the most Saturday afternoon, unable to get to 25 on any set of the day. Coach Ashley Skeens said she saw improvement compared to the beginning of the season, however. “I’m actually pretty proud of how we played in the second two games against Hurricane,” she said. “I think that if we would have communicated a little bit better and worked hard the entire time, we would have played a lot better in a majority of the games.” Winfield, who went point-forpoint with Buffalo in all three sets of the final match, was able to boast both the tournament trophy along with the Putnam County Player of the Year, Kelsey Matusic. The team has its eyes on the biggest prize of the season, however, a sectional championship and postseason play. “Hopefully we’ll just play our game the way we know how to play and we’ll make it to the states,” Chinuntdet said. “I expect a lot
