By GEOFFREY FOSTERTHE PARTHENON

Huntington has many local restaurants that offer a unique and different experience for din-ers—there are restaurants that serve distinctive recipes, authentic foreign food, fresh seafood—but the oldest among them is Stewart’s Original Hot Dogs, a local drive-in that has been operated by the same family for four generations.

John Mandt Jr. said he would not have the privilege of owning the drive-in if not for his great-grandparents, John Louis (J.L.) and Ger-trude Mandt, who opened the little orange drive-in back in 1932 at the behest of entrepre-neur Frank Stewart.

“Frank Stewart, who was a school teacher, came up with a recipe for root beer,” Mandt said. “He lived in Mansfield, Ohio and so did my great-granddad, who had a gas station with a little diner in it. They were best buds. After Frank Stewart created his root beer, he persuaded my great-granddad to open up a Stewart’s Root Beer stand. They built that building for $1,750, property and

all. All they sold was root beer and popcorn and the first day’s sales were only $.50. The second year my great-grandmother came up with our hot dog sauce and the rest is history—we’re known for hot dogs, not so much the root beer.”

However, J.L. and Gertrude did not run Stewart’s alone, Mandt said their son Harry and daughter-in-law Isabelle helped, eventually taking over the business after J.L. passed away in 1942.

“My grandparents, Harry and Isabelle, ran it the longest and they really kept it going strong,” Mandt said, “more so than my great-grandpar-ents, who did not work it nearly as long as my grandparents did.”

In 1951, at the age of 13, John Mandt Sr. began working at the drive-in with his parents, eventually taking over the business in the late seventies. In the summer of 1976, John Mandt Jr. followed suit.

“I started working here at 13, as my father did,” Mandt said. “My father was president of the American Baptist Association and he had to travel a lot, so there was a time when he was gone over 200 days out of the year. I was a

full-time student at Marshall then and I had a lot of responsibility running the business, too. Then I just knew what I wanted to do and I grew into the role of owner.”

Part of that role was attempting to expand the business as much as possible, the first great stride of which stemmed from an idea he had in 1988.

Mandt said he was driving up Third Avenue when he decided to stop by the athletic de-partment at Marshall University to visit with the athletic director. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mandt proposed the idea of sell-ing Stewart’s Hot Dogs at football and basketball games. The director thought it was a great sug-gestion. Stewart’s Original Hot Dogs has been the official hot dog of Marshall ever since.

In 2005, Mandt created the West Virginia Hot Dog Festival, an idea prompted by his desire to give back to the community that had supported his business for so long. Partnered with Clear Channel Communications, the yearly festival do-nates all proceeds to the Hoops Family Children’s Hospital at Cabell County Hospital.

The drive-in, located at 2445 Fifth Ave., offers a variety of weekly deals, a catering service and even sells Christmas trees on the side lot every December. Mandt said that Stewart’s also offers excellent job opportunities to Marshall students, noting that an employee can make a great deal of tip money serving customers on the lot.

Stewart’s now has three locations in the tri-state area as is preparing to enter its 82nd year in business. Mandt said he feels really fortunate that it has stood the test of time.

“We’ve really beaten the odds to stay open, let alone being a fourth generation business,” Mandt said. “Less than 3 percent of family-owned busi-nesses go to a fourth generation. We’ve really been blessed. Without our employees and cus-tomers, we wouldn’t have been here this long.”

Stewart’s Original Hot Dogs is located at 2445 Fifth Ave. Its hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. 9:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday.

As the Internet increasingly becomes the most vital me-dium for information, the West Virginia Division of Culture and History is working to make more of the state’s history readily available.

West Virginia Archives and History is constantly working to acquire more documents and pieces of history to digitize and make more readily available to the citizens of this state.

Joe Geiger, director of Archives and History, said the Ar-chives contain anything from the manuscripts of state government to cartoons and scrapbooks. He said the they are interested in collecting anything written by a West Vir-ginian or about West Virginia.

“Some of these are transferred to us from county officials, from state officials, but we also have donations from private individuals—from people who contact us and say, ‘I have this. Do you think it would be of interest to us?’” Geiger said. “If it’s documenting the history of our state then we’re usu-ally interested in making sure that’s preserved.”

The process of digitizing often involves a technique known as microfilming. This photographs printed material at a re-duced size and stores it on film for storage.

To create microfilm, the Archives have a machine that uses a foot pedal to take pictures. After the process is completed, the Archives send the documents back to the county and have digital file copies.

Despite everything becoming increasingly digital, the Archives still do a portion of its photography editing in a darkroom. Other touchups to old photographs are made

using Photoshop. Geiger said the Archives have around 55,000 photo negatives available on a searchable database.

Geiger said it is important to keep these physical copies of everything they are digitizing. Much of the print has re-mained intact for hundreds of years, while it is unknown whether or not these digital files will be able to be opened years down the line.

Some of these documents that have survived hundreds of years include voting records that founded West Virginia. One particular box of documents contained votes from May 23, 1861 on whether or not to leave the Union.

“These are the actual voter’s names and they’re voting for ratification,” Geiger said. “Ritchie was a Union county, but you can certainly see there are a number of people who voted in this particular district—more people voted for rati-fication than against.”

Other documents in the Archives include a letter from Sam Snead, a member of the West Virginia Golf Hall of Fame, to another golfer. The letter was the result of an altercation be-tween the two on the golf course.

“‘I’ll always remember the time you wanted to talk to me and I wasn’t thinking just at the moment and you walked away, turned and called me—‘You’re a prick.’ I said, ‘Okay, come on back, you prick. I’ll talk.’ From that day you were my good friend. Come see me at the Greenbrier,’” Geiger read.

The Archives also runs a program to give war medals to the closest living relative of a veteran. The process is a $50 fee where the person must prove his or her genealogy. Once it is determined, the Archives waits six months to make sure

It has been a long road for the Marshall Thundering Herd football team.

Not just this season, but for many sea-sons. Marshall football has muddled along in mediocrity since around 2005 with the specter of past glory weighing upon the team as well as the fan base.

But with its 59-28 rout of the ECU Pirates last Friday, the Thundering Herd earned the right to break of a saying started by coach Bob Pruitt.

“At Marshall, we play for championships.”On Saturday the Herd will compete in its

first Conference USA Championship game since joining the league in 2005, and its first championship game since the 2002 MAC championship, when it takes on west division champion Rice.

“We’ve been waiting a long time for this moment,” junior quarterback Rakeem Cato said. “We’ve progressed so much and worked hard all year, just going out and sacrificing everything and right now the moment is here and we have to get it done.”

After watching the team grow through his five seasons with the Herd, redshirt senior defensive end Alex Bazzie said that just getting to this point is great.

“I’ve been dreaming of this all my life, to just be in a championship,” Bazzie said. “But as far as being in a C-USA champion-ship, that’s been my goal since I got here. Even as a redshirt freshman watching those older guys like [former Herd defend-ers] Mario Harvey and Ashton Hall.

“Now, for me to really experience some-thing that I dreamed my whole life, it’s a blessing, but the championship is not go-ing to win itself.”

The Rice Owls, who have an identical 9-3, 7-1 record, have won 15 of their last 18 games and have not lost a game at home since the Herd beat them in a 54-51 dou-ble-overtime shootout Sept. 22, 2012.

“Rice is a football team we have great respect for,” Marshall head coach Doc Hol-liday said. “They’re an extremely physical football team that is very well coached. Coach [David] Bailiff has done a tremen-dous job.”

Redshirt senior quarterback Taylor McH-argue, who has passed for 2,065 yards and 16 touchdowns and also run for 432 yards and five more scores on the season, leads the Owls. McHargue, along with 1,000-yard rusher Charles Ross, have guided the Owls to C-USA’s best rushing attack.

“He’s a great athlete,” Bazzie said of McHargue. “He can run, he can throw, he’s a tremendous leader on that team and you can see that they go as he goes. Whenever I think of Rice I think of that quarterback because without that quarterback I don’t think they would be the team that they are.”

Defensively, the Owls will be well equipped to combat the Herd’s aerial at-tack with a pair of standout corners in junior Bryce Callahan and senior Phillip Gaines.

“They’re really good,” Holliday said of the Owl’s secondary. “Those two corners could play for anybody in the country, the safe-ties are good players and, again, they’re

Now is the time to Panick By KARLYN TIMKO THE PARTHENON During her freshman year as a member of the Marshall University’s volleyball team, outside hitter Elyse Panick has been a standout player for more reasons than her 6-foot-2-inch stature. She has been consistent in impressive performances, including leading her team offensively with 14 kills and a .400 hitting percentage during the Herd’s face off against West Virginia University. Panick and her team finished the regular season 15-15 overall and 8-6 in league play, a record that was good enough to secure them the No. 4 seed at the Conference USA Tournament. Before she embarked on her journey to Murfreesboro, Tenn., the Chicago, Ill. native took the time to help us get to know her.

Legacy. Every student, every professor, every worker, every person will leave one while on this earth. It can be a legacy that when looked back on can bring shame, guilt or pain; and likewise when looked upon can help the one who left it, see that something greater than them-selves was moving in their life. In life a person can leave mul-tiple legacies; every job, every relationship, every academic institution attended, all enable a person to leave behind a leg-acy or leave a legacy behind.

In 1997, after being kicked out of West Virginia Institute of Technology, Adam Goodwin began attending Marshall Com-munity and Technical College. In order to pay for school Good-win joined the United States Army Reserves, where he would eventually meet a fellow reserve who would introduce him to the first steps of the rest of his life.

Once Goodwin raised his GPA, Marshall University ac-cepted him as a full-time student. He switched his major from accounting to business administration.

"When I first began at Mar-shall I wasn't a Christian, and I would actually walk by the Campus Christian Center ev-ery day and never notice the building," Goodwin said. "In the summer of 1998, God saved me… He reshaped my mind and reshaped my thinking."

While in the reserves Good-win met a man reading his Bible. The man, Greg Losh, struck up a conversation with him about Christianity and the two began discussing their faiths. Through this conver-sation Goodwin learned that

Losh's father pastored a minis-try on Marshall's campus called Baptist Campus Ministries; to which Losh invited him.

As he laughs, Goodwin says after being introduced to BCM, he has never really left.

Goodwin, who is now the director of BCM across West Virginia and the pastor of Mar-shall's BCM chapter, says he came from a background where he knew nothing about Christi-anity or God.

"Once I became a Christian,

I just immersed myself in the faith," Goodwin says. "Whether it was with First Baptist Kenova, the church I started go-ing to, or BCM, anytime there was an event I was there to help any way I could. I tried to stay around people with positive Christian influence, because I had none before."

After pondering how BCM impacted his life, Goodwin says that he sees BCM as the major tool that God used to shape him into the man he is today.

Coming from a background where Christianity was not in-troduced, Goodwin says that the campus minister for BCM, Jerry Losh, showed him what Christianity truly was.

"He just loved on me and taught me what it meant to walk as a Christian daily," Good-win said.

While in BCM, Goodwin spent a large amount of time with Jerry Losh, learning not only the teachings of the Bible, but also the inner workings of

the ministry they both adored. In May 2002, a month be-

fore he would graduate with a degree in business administra-tion, through BCM, Goodwin began dating a woman who would eventually become his wife. Olivia Goodwin, at the time, Olivia Hill, was a fresh-man on Marshall's tennis team.

In the fall of 2002, after grad-uating from Marshall, Goodwin began a master’s program at South Eastern Baptist Theolog-ical Seminary, located in Wake

Forest, N.C. While at SEBTS, he worked on completing a degree of master of divinity, which is a three-year degree.

As he attended the seminary, he and Olivia continued to date each other.

“I would come back every two or three weeks and visit Olivia and the campus [Mar-shall],” Goodwin said.

In 2005, Goodwin graduated from the seminary, and married

High school students are known for going to football games, pep rallies and enjoy-ing the company of their friends

but when he was a junior in high school, Colten Settle, senior jazz studies major from William-stown, W.Va., was forming a music band with a group of his friends.

Settle grew up around mu-sic and spent his weekends and summers at music festivals. He began playing the violin in el-ementary school and picked up the bass and guitar at age 12.

He stayed involved in music in high school while participating in choir, concert band, jazz band, percussion ensemble and march-ing band. As a senior jazz studies major at Marshall University, he said he believes “music is his life now.”

The Colten Settle Band was formed in January of 2009 and according to Settle the main goal when forming the band was to put together a group of musi-cians that were serious about performing music.

Since Settle formed the band and writes most of the music, the band’s name, “The Colten Settle Band” was never changed.

The band combines alterna-tive rock with an eclectic mix of jazz, folk, blues, Latin, bluegrass and funk.

Settle said he believes listen-ers may refer to the band as a “jam band” but he hopes they are something truly original.

“Our group thrives on impro-visation, we don’t adhere to one specific genre,” Settle said.

According to Settle the band’s main goal is to spread the mes-sage of love to those who listen to their music.

“There is entirely too much hate in the world, so I want to provide an environment to re-lease all anger, relieve stress and have a good time,” Settle said. “We get on stage and hold nothing back, so hopefully that inspires people to do the same.”

In the last three years the band has played at dozens of venues all over West Virginia and Ohio, but Settle said without the help from

the members of his band their success over the years would not have been made possible.

Members of the band include Marshall students Jarohn Grand-staff and Alexander Cardwell, and David Huggins, Bryce Win-kler, Paul Stephan and Daniel Beahm. The band plans to pro-duce a record in the upcoming months that will feature multiple other performers.

The CSB has performed shows all over Huntington, at venues such as Lowry’s, Sharkey’s, The Big Sandy Superstore Arena and The Huntington Ale House but they have also traveled to other cities in West Virginia and Ohio to perform at venues including The Adelphia and The Marietta Brewing Company, in Marietta, Ohio and Six Pence Pub & Eatery, in Parkersburg, W.Va.

The CSB also plays at char-ity events and private parties. In the past they have played at the Marietta Music in the Park in Marietta, Ohio, The Brough-ton's Ice Cream Festival at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Marietta, Ohio, Outcry For Rock in Parkersburg, W.Va., and the Parkersburg High School Homecoming.

According to Settle, the band enjoyed playing at each event and they hope to return every year. Another one of the highlights for the band members is playing at the Relay for Life Event in Parkers-burg every summer and last year the band was also able to play at the Sleep Sound Music Festival with Terrible Things and ten other bands from around the country.

Settle said he hopes as time goes on the band is able to travel and continue to grow as a band, and grow individually as musicians.

The band has events planned for the month of December. They will perform at The Empty Glass in Charleston at 10:30 p.m. Dec. 20 and at Black Sheep Burrito and Brews in Huntington at 9 p.m. Dec. 21.

The band is looking forward to both shows and they hope to have a large turn out because the band has never played at The Empty Glass in Charleston and they hope to make some connections to broaden their fan base there.

Dec. 20 will also be the first time the band plays at Black Sheep Burrito and Brews and according to Settle that makes the experience playing there even more exciting for him and the band members.

“I’m looking forward to getting to play with other awe-some local bands and the show on Dec. 20 will be the first with the newer band members that just joined the band this fall, so it’s something to look forward to.”

After the December shows band members will not be slowing down with plans to re-cord a double disk album to be released in 2014.

According to Settle record-ing for the album will begin in the upcoming weeks.

just really well coached.”Herd fans were dejected

when, after expectations of a championship game in Hun-tington, the BCS standings awarded Rice the champion-ship venue. Cato said that there was little time for the team to be disappointed in the circumstance.”

“I found out at 8:30,” Cato said, “at 8:31 I moved on.”

“For me, I’m just glad we’re playing in the champion-ship game,” junior receiver Tommy Shuler said. “I don’t care where it is to tell you the truth. I know our fans wanted to come but they might have to just watch and cheer us on from here.”

Playing in front of the home crowd certainly would have given the Herd a boost, but ju-nior tight end Gator Hoskins said that the gravity of the game is motivation enough.

“We could play in a park-ing lot man, we’re going to be ready,” Hoskins said. “It’s a championship game, it doesn’t matter where you play it.”

The Thundering Herd and Owl’s will kick-off the 2013 C-USA Championship game Saturday at noon in Rice Sta-dium in Houston, Texas.

“We have to get the job done of our Herd family,” Cato said, “we have to bring back the W. We do it all for them.”

The Archives also runs a program to give war medals to the closest living relative of a veteran. The process is a $50 fee where the person must prove his or her gene-alogy. Once it is determined, the Archives waits six months to make sure no one else of closer relation requests it.

“If you’re able to look right on the rim, it actually has the soldier’s name and the unit with which he served,” Gei-ger said. “Each one of these is unique.”

While those with war med-als sometimes sell them, Geiger said the people they deal with place a higher per-sonal connection on them.

“You see these things on eBay. That’s what kills you is they do go for a lot of money,” Geiger said. “I think the peo-ple that apply through us, you know, you get these medals—I don’t think you could pay them a million dollars to get it out of their hands.”

Working with documents from one’s own state, one can find an item that holds per-sonal significance. Geiger said he found a letter his grand-father wrote to Jennings Randolph, a West Virginian representative in Congress.

“He [my grandfather] was a

Methodist minister up in the northern part of the state—a letter that he wrote to Ran-dolph in 1965 urging him to support the voting rights bill of 1965, of course protecting the rights of African Ameri-cans to vote,” Geiger said. “To me, that’s a very neat docu-ment that certainly touches home with me, being my grandfather, but also seeing that he was on the right side of history.”

Geiger said people would be surprised as to which document would be their favorite.

“Sometimes it’s the simplest thing. It’s the program from a 1927 Charleston High School graduation or it’s a yearbook,” Geiger said. “I think everyone would have their own favorites depending upon, you know, their life history.”

While many of these physi-cal documents are restricted to employee access, West Virginia Archives and History has a library accessible to the public. This library contains things such as newspapers, books on county history and machines to view microfilm.

Olivia, who had graduated from Marshall that same year.

After graduating, Goodwin’s campus minister from Mar-shall, Jerry Losh, hired him as a part-time minister for BCM on University of Charleston’s campus. There he served BCM’s ministry for three years un-til Jerry Losh resigned from his position as director of BCM in West Virginia to which Goodwin put his name in the running.

“I used to joke with Jerry, I had already felt a call to minis-try, and I would joke with him asking, ‘How do I get your job?’” Goodwin said. “And he would laugh and say hopefully I’ll stick around long enough and you can get the job.”

The prerequisites for be-ing the director of BCM were that the person vying for the

position had to have a semi-nary degree and three years experience in college ministry. Goodwin said that God’s time was perfect, because he had just completed three years in the ministry at UC.

In 2008, Goodwin was hired as the full time director for BCM and has been on Mar-shall’s campus ever since. At 9:15 p.m. every Wednesday Goodwin expresses his love of God to a group of roughly 250 students, but that is only one of his many responsibilities.

BCM is a ministry that has chapters on eight campuses all over West Virginia, and as the director Goodwin is in charge of managing the staff of those chapters; as well as reporting to the West Virginia Baptist Convention, which BCM is a part of.

Goodwin expressed his love for this campus in sharing his hopes and prayers for Marshall.

“Ultimately I hope everyone on this campus would love Christ with everything inside them all; 14,000 plus,” Good-win said. “If not, then I would pray that the people that come around students in BCM at least believe that we believe that. When people outside of Christi-anity see BCM, I hope that they would see authentic, genuine people. Even though they may disagree with us, they can see that it shapes our lives.”

In the next five years, Good-win said he hopes to see BCM grow and the students would take their faith out onto the campus, not only into the class-room or with their peers, but also reaching out to the faculty and staff of Marshall. He said he hopes to have more impact and involvement in Greek life and with Marshall’s athletes, to let them know that BCM is a place where they can come and be welcomed.

Goodwin desires for students involved with BCM to be inten-tional with people on campus. Referencing a portion of the "Great Commission" located in the Book of Mathew 28:16-20 in the Bible's New Testament. Goodwin focused on the begin-ning of part of verse 19, where Jesus is quoted saying, "There-fore go and make disciples of all nations…" Further explaining that verse; Goodwin said that in the Greek and Hebrew transla-tion, the word "go" in that verse means, "as you are going."

It is Goodwin's hope to see Christian students constantly sharing their faith out of love for others. Whether that is verbally sharing their faith or expressing their faith through actions for the betterment of others; Goodwin wants to see the "Great Commis-sion" taken to Marshall's campus.
