May 2007:
Miss Church Sunday?
by Tony Seaton
Huntingtonnews.net producer
If so, we have a cure for what ails you. Remember Tim Tooten, former reporter for WSAZ-TV?
He and I were co-workers there in the 80s.
Tim's seen here, at that time, with other former reporters Kathy Brown, Bob Brunner, the late Bob Bowen, and then-intern, now WCHS-TV reporter, Kenny Bass.
Tim's now with a TV station in Baltimore, and he's also an ordained minister.
When he comes to town, First Baptist Church in Huntington invites him to guest-pastor.
Sunday he was here and preached the Mother's Day service.
Huntingtonnews.net wouldn't miss that event for the world and you won't either, now.
Enjoy the good reverend's Mother's Day message.
Addictions in the Spotlight
Name the societal ill or malady and an addiction is often either a cause or result of it.
Dozens of Huntington residents came to participate in a 'Town Hall' discussion about addiction, sponsored by the Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership, Prestera Center and the Cabell-Huntington Health Department, Tuesday evening. Among other things, they heard how addiction is considered a disease, and what is or is not being done about it, from those intimately involved with it.
Producer Tony Seaton shows you what they learned.
A Moment of Silence
In Memory of the Fallen
Originally called 'Decoration Day,' a day set aside in 1868 as a time for the nation to decorate with flowers the graves of the war dead, is now widely called Memorial Day. Monday, Huntington residents took the decoration part to heart and did just that for the graves of their relatives and fallen soldiers of all of America's wars on this Memorial Day.
Producer Tony Seaton brings you some flowers and a moment of 'Silence.'
Heading out of Town?
Chances are increasingly good you'll be flying out of Huntington Tri-State Airport,
given the numbers the airport just released. Passenger traffic from Huntington is up-way up.
Allegiant Air has a lot to do with that increase.
Producer Tony Seaton brings you the figures.
Troy Brown and others, for sale! [for a good cause or two]
Marshall alums done good, Mike Bartrum, Troy Brown, Chad Pennington and a host of others were in the house recently. And on the field, at the auction and on the links, for the Bartrum & Brown Football Camp, Auction and Celebrity Golf Classic. They helped raise money for a host of local groups and had a good time doing it. A few famous former coaches helped out, too.
Producer Tony Seaton took in the auction for you.
Downtown Divine
Downtown Huntington is booming like most of us have rarely seen in our lifetimes. But for many of those patronizing Pullman and the many other venues benefitting from its undeniable pull...this is just how it is. And that means whole generations just beginning to build their shopping habits see downtown as the place to be. From Huntington’s version of New York's SOHO, or Palm Beach’s Worth Avenue.. Ninth Street Plaza, Third Avenue and Pullman shops and their high-end trend...to a downtown gala for St. Mary’s Hospital Foundation, new buildings planned and going up, concerts on the square, and people everywhere... Huntington’s Downtown is BACK.
Producer Tony Seaton takes you back to the future.
Rollin' on the River
National Maritime Days was celebrated recently. Hundreds came out to see what goes on behind the flood wall, and they weren't disappointed. They discovered Huntington is the nation's number-one inland water port, among many other things. The event was sponsored by the Army Corps of Engineers, Madison Coal and Supply and Kirby Inland Marine among others.
Producer Tony Seaton went to have a look.
Treatment Center's Future Looks Golden
A good time was apparently had by all in Thursday's get-together in Mayor Felinton's office
between formerly disgruntled members of the neighborhood surrounding
the Huntington Treatment Center, and the center's representatives.
Afterwards the mayor and Treatment Center spokesman Joe Pritchard said it was a meeting of the minds.
Producer Tony Seaton talked with both.
Heading To the Beach?
Watch Out for Global Warming.
And not just because of the increased rays you'll get. Global warming is also implicated in recent increases in hurricane frequency and intensity. Marshall Science professor Dr. Frank Gilliam recently sat down with Huntingtonnews.net to explain how they're related.
Producer Tony Seaton brings you the conversation.
