This concert will feature the middle schools new show choir act, also known as the “Opening Act”. After the show choir, the jazz band will play, followed by the steel drum ensemble, also known as Pandemonium ll.
“We are closing the concert with a Pandemonium reunion of sorts. Any of my former steel drum players are welcome to come up and play at this concert.” Stoneking said.
 
Stoneking also recognized his show choir, applauding their “Outstanding Choral Sound” award at the WVMEA State Show Choir Festival held in late march. Also, this is Stoneking’s first year ever starting a show choir at Bridgeport Middle School. The “Opening Act” sings a variety of different songs while on stage. At the State Festival, they placed third this year out of all middle school groups performing.
 
As for his jazz band, Stoneking has been proud of their accomplishments this year, and how far they have come to improving. “Many of my eighth grade students will continue Jazz Band next year in the high school. A lot of them tried out and made it,” he said.
 
This spring concert is free to the public. The event is family and age friendly.

Founder of Meadowbrook Mall Honored by National Publication as "Commercial Real Estate Icon"

Every industry has those special individuals who are recognized as iconic leaders.  Real Estate Forum magazine has named Anthony Cafaro, Sr. as one of the icons of the commercial real estate industry.  Cafaro’s company developed Meadowbrook Mall in 1982.  For its May, 2013 issue, the respected national publication selected two dozen leaders in the field, designating them as “Industry Icons”.
 
The term “Icon” was not bestowed lightly.  The magazine selected Mr. Cafaro as part of an exclusive group of professionals, noting that “with careers in the sector that span as long as a half century and a variety of pathways that have brought them up through the ranks, each of the men…can claim impeccable bona fides in commercial real estate.”  The group includes executives from other major development companies such as Macerich, Simon Property Group, Westfield, General Growth Properties and CBL & Associates.
 
Anthony Cafaro, Sr., former President of The Cafaro Company, a real estate development firm specializing in shopping centers and malls, retired in December, 2009, yet he still helps direct the progress of the company as a consultant.  His career in the industry began when he was just 13 years old, working maintenance on some of the properties his father, William M. Cafaro, first developed.  By the time Anthony  assumed the presidency in 1982, he was guiding the Company through a period of explosive growth.  
 
“After working in the shopping center industry for so many years, I am indeed gratified to receive this very prestigious recognition as an ‘Industry Icon’.”, said Mr. Cafaro. “In my new role as consultant and counselor to The Cafaro Company, I look forward to continuing my involvement in the industry.”
 
The Cafaro organization, currently based in Youngstown, Ohio, is one of the nation’s largest privately held shopping center developers.  The Cafaro Company owns and oversees more than 30 million square feet of commercial real estate in 11 states.  
 
Founded by the late William M. Cafaro in the 1940's, the firm is now in its seventh decade as a family owned and managed business.  Anthony Cafaro, Sr.’s sons, William and Anthony, Jr., are now the Co-Presidents of the company. For more information, visit online at www.cafarocompany.com.

Traffic Interruptions to Take Place on Virginia Avenue Tuesday; While One Section of Road Set for Closure

One of Bridgeport’s busiest roadways will see some traffic interruption this coming week, according to the office of City Engineer Tom Brown.
 
The section of Virginia Avenue near the Benedum Civic Center parking lot – where the Virginia Avenue bridge is situated, will be controlled by flaggers this coming Tuesday (May 21) starting at 8 a.m. While traffic will be controlled there, the section of Water Street between Virginia Avenue and Davisson Street will be closed to traffic all day with the exception of emergency vehicles that may need to use that section of the road.
 
The traffic control is the result of the city getting ready to set the new pedestrian walking bridge situated beside the Virginia Avenue Bridge. With the setting of the bridge, all the prep work needed is complete. The abutment work has been for some time, as has the clearing of brush and debris in the area in and around where the abutments on both sides of Simpson Creek were put in place to hold the bridge. The last step involved putting rip rap in front of the abutments and much of that work was done last week. Rip rap are the large rocks surrounding abutments that are 12 to 24 median size in diameter.
Quality Machine, which is located just outside of Bridgeport and the Harrison County line along U.S. Route 50, fabricated the bridge. The bridge will come in two different pieces. Previously, Brown said City Crane out of Morgantown will bring in two large cranes to handle installation. The cranes, he said, would be situated on both sides of Simpson Creek.
 
“Once the two pieces come down they will be bolted together,” Brown said previously. “Shortly after that it should be ready for use.”
 
Brown said the crane’s should “look impressive” in the narrow area. City Crane’s work is one of the few parts of this roughly six-figure project that won’t be done by city staff. The pedestrian bridge is part of the city’s master plan for the highly popular trail system. The bridge’s presence will eliminate the need for walker to cross the busy section of Virginia Avenue and then back across to get to various parking areas utilized by the walkers.
 
Brown said the goal is to have the cranes in place between 7 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. so it will not interrupt morning school traffic. He is hoping the work won't go past 2 p.m. or 3 p.m., but multiple factors can affect the time to complete the project. This is the second project done with a pedestrian bridge in the city. Brown said one between the high school and city park was done a few years ago.

MVB Bank's First Quarter Earnings Jump 38 Percent

MVB Financial Corp., (OTC Markets Group OTCQB:MVBF), and its subsidiary bank, MVB Bank, Inc., (collectively MVB), today announced quarterly results for the period ending March 31, 2013. First quarter 2013 net income of $1.2 million increased by 38% compared to the first quarter of 2012. Results for the first quarter 2013 include the addition of Potomac Mortgage Group, Inc. (PMG) for its first full quarter as a part of MVB.
 
MVB has a branch office on Johnson Avenue in Bridgeport.
 
MVB’s net interest income was $3.5 million for the first quarter of 2013, an increase of $375,000 or 9% from the same time period in 2012. This gain was driven mainly by the continued growth in loan volume, with 14% loan growth and a sustained demand for refinancing motivated by historic low mortgage rates.
 
Interest expense of $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2013 was comparable to the first quarter of 2012. Total interest income in the first quarter 2013 was $5.7 million, an increase of $335,000 or 6% compared to the first quarter of 2012, a gain also due to continued growth in loan volume. Expenses nearly tripled in the quarter, largely resulting from funding and implementation of organic growth initiatives as well as costs related to the acquisition of PMG.
 
“The opening quarter of 2013 is evidence of our progress and growth – from new loans to increased deposits to a significant jump in net income,” said Larry F. Mazza, CEO of MVB Financial Corp. “Our strategy is demonstrating success across all areas of the bank and in newnon-interest income areas. We opened a new branch in the Morgantown market during the first quarter. In addition, we derived the first full quarter of accretive earnings from PMG, including expansion opportunities in northern Virginia and referrals of new clients to MVB for mortgages, and other products and services. This is a very dynamic time in the banking business and at MVB. We are continuing to execute and deliver on our ‘growth with quality’ strategy.”
 
Operating Performance Paced by Growth Initiatives and Sustained, Quality Lending MVB’s high quality loan portfolio continued to drive asset growth in in the first quarter of 2013 with a 14% increase, or $56.2 million addition in both commercial and mortgage lending compared to the same period in 2012.
 
Total assets increased by $184.4 million, or 32.2%, this quarter compared to the first quarter a year ago, primarily based on the PMG acquisition. MVB’s nonperforming loan ratio continues to be among the lowest in the country compared to its peers. MVB Bank is consistently recognized as a ‘5-Star Superior Bank’ and among the financially strongest banks in the nation designated by Bauer Financial, the nation’s leading bank rating and research firm. The economy of West Virginia and Virginia, where MVB operates, is expected to experience continued growth amid a slightly improving national economic outlook.

Folklife Center to Host Friends of Folklife Gala Weekend

The Frank and Jane Gabor West Virginia Folklife Center on the shared main campus of Fairmont State University and Pierpont Community & Technical College will present the Friends of Folklife Gala Weekend on Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2.
 
Those who would like to attend the June 1 events should become members of the Friends of Folklife by purchasing a membership with the following levels: $25 a year for Friend Membership, $50 a year for Collector Membership, $100 a year for Preservationist Membership and $300 for Visionary Membership. Membership benefits include admission to the Gala Weekend, a copy of the current edition of Traditions: A Journal of West Virginia Folk Culture and Educational Awareness, newsletters, invitations to functions and events of the Folklife Center and inclusion in special Friends listings. All checks should be made payable to the Fairmont State Foundation, Inc. For more information, contact the Folklife Center at (304) 367-4403.
 
Gala Weekend activities begin at 4 p.m. June 1 with an outdoor market, exhibits, artisans, auctions and raffles, a wine tasting, book sales, a savory and sweets buffet, Civil War re-enactors, a silent auction, tours of the Folklife Center and live folk music. In case of rain, the event will be moved to the Falcon Center third floor conference rooms.
 
At about 6:30 p.m., Greg Bray, Executive Director of the Pricketts Fort Memorial Foundation, will be honored with the Traditions Salute Award for his work at the Fort, especially his perpetuation and teaching of blacksmith skills. Bray, a master blacksmith, also recently created decorative iron grill work for the entrance of the Folklife Center. He designed the iron work to reflect the Dutch colonial revivalist style of the facility and the traditional material culture symbols that represent the Germanic Dutch and Anglo Celtic folk traditions.
 
Following that presentation will be a barn dance featuring the Kennedy Barn String Band and dance caller Taylor Runner at 7 to 9:30 p.m. A cake walk will take place at 8 p.m., and at that time the raffle winners’ names will be announced.
 
The Folklife Center also will have on display in its second floor Musick Folk Gallery a new exhibit which is “A Salute to Louise McNeill,” former West Virginia poet laureate. A gallery talk and other activities saluting the exhibit will be announced later in the year. The exhibit will be open to the public beginning June 1. McNeill is a former history professor at Fairmont State and was a friend of Dr. Ruth Ann Musick. The West Virginia Literary Map is titled “From a Place Called Solid: West Virginia and its Writers.” The wording “From a Place Called Solid” comes from McNeill’s memoir “The Milkweed Ladies” and reflects the long and deep history and culture of the mountain state and its people. Phyllis Moore is the author of the Literary Map, and Dr. Judy P. Byers is the editor.
 
At 2 p.m. on June 2, the Folklife Center will host a History Alive portrayal of Joe Bundy as Martin Delany. The presentation is made possible by the West Virginia Humanities Council. Admission to this event is free and open to the public.
 
“The Louise McNeill exhibit and the History Alive portrayal are part of the Folklife Center’s salute to the state of West Virginia and the build up to the state’s Sesquicentennial celebration,” Byers said.
 
Born in Charles Town, Delany moved to Pennsylvania with his family when his mother was threatened with imprisonment for allowing her children to learn to read and write. He was a leader in the anti-slavery movement and a superintendent in the Underground Railroad. He co-edited an abolitionist newspaper with Frederick Douglass and attended Harvard Medical College. He was a recruiter for the U.S. Colored Troops and in 1865 became the first black field officer when commissioned as a major.

FSU's 2013 Town & Gown Summer Theatre To Present “Little Women” And “Farmers Market the Musical”

Fairmont State University’s Town & Gown Summer Theatre continues its longstanding tradition of musical productions when it presents “Little Women” and the world premiere of “Farmers Market the Musical” this summer.
 
“Little Women” will run June 6-8 at 7:30 p.m. and on June 9 at 2 p.m. at Wallman Hall on the main campus of Fairmont State. Prickett’s Fort State Park will host “Farmers Market the Musical” on June 28-30 and July 4-6 at 8 p.m. Reserve seats are available online at www.fairmontstate.edu/ticketsor by calling the Box Office at (304) 367-4240; tickets are $13 each.
 
Directed by Dr. Francene Kirk, “Little Women” is based upon Louisa May Alcott's 19th century novel. The musical brings to life the March family of Concord, Mass. In a time of war and sacrifice, Jo, Meg, Amy and Beth, guided by their mother Marmee, grow from girls into women, through romance and courtship, illness and loss loving and letting go.
 
Directed by Jeffrey Ingman, the world premiere of “Farmers Market the Musical” will feature the characters who sell, buy and operate the Sunnyfield Township Farmers’ Union. The comedy loosely is inspired by the behind-the-farmstand power struggles at a real farmers market in Missouri. An idealistic young vendor who just wants to sell her baked goods and homemade marshmallows is run out of the market by Mr. Buffalo and his cronies, who rule the market with an iron fist. The vendors (all known by the name of their products: Peaches, Honey, Curds, Chicken, Candles and Amish Jams) come together to fight injustice, form a new market and bring produce to the people.
 
“Fairmont State University is proud to continue its longstanding partnership with Prickett’s Fort State Park to provide high quality outdoor theatre for residents of North Central West Virginia. Our collaboration results in entertainment for our community and enhances educational opportunities for FSU students,” said Peter Lach, Dean of the FSU School of Fine Arts.
 
Lach said Town & Gown Summer Theatre’s productions began many years ago with FSU students and local talent.
 
“Actors performed in a tent on the college campus during the summer months. We used local people in the productions, almost always musicals, in order to have a number of sufficient people and to increase the range of talent. Then we starting having productions during the school year, four to five plays, in addition to the two or three Town & Gown shows in the summer,” he said.
 
Town & Gown Summer Theatre builds connections between the School of Fine Arts and the community, with many opportunities for community members to appear on stage.  Townspeople make up about two-thirds of the cast during the summer months, but students make up most of the cast during the school production season.
 
Lach pointed out that it is beneficial to the student actors to work with the more experienced veteran actors from the community who serve as models and mentors to the young adults. “They learn by observation,” he noted. Students typically receive university credits for their participation in the plays, and the experience is good to include on a resume.
