From theFrom theDirector’s DeskDirector’s Desk

Hello Everyone!

May has finally left us - along with all the rain! The sunshine is

finally here! Now, it’s time to make all those exciting outdoor plans.

I would like to announce we have raised sponsorship from

ALCON® for this year’s “5K Run/Walk For Sight”. The event will be held

Saturday, August 27th in Huntington’s Ritter Park. Start training now

and come out and join us!

As mentioned in the last installment of the “Director’s Desk”, our

annual Easter Egg sale netted the agency approximately $5,500. This

funding will certainly help our many programs. We truly appreciate

everyone’s combined efforts during the sale.

Remember, June 4th is our annual picnic, and July 8th is the

McClanahan Memorial Concert. If you need transportation to either

event, please don’t forget to contact the office to make arrangements.

I would like to remind the community that the Paul R. Slone

Activities Center is available for rent on select dates through the sum-

mer. Rental fee is $100 per night plus $100 damage deposit.

A real bargain considering all the facility has to offer. Please pass the

word. Call the Services Division at 304-522-6991 for scheduling.

Occasionally I am asked how the building got its name. The build-

ing is named in honor of me. During one of our regular association

meetings shortly after the building’s completion, a consumer, Margie

Simmons, made the suggestion. The motion was carried and the build-

ing was so named. I can’t tell you what an honor it is to have my name

attached to that building. To know my efforts in its funding and con-

struction to be recognized in such a way leaves me almost speechless

- and believe me, that is hard to do!

Until next time ...

For information on building rental and availability dates,call the Services Division office of

Cabell-Wayne Association of the Blind at 304-522-6991.

Potting Party 2011Potting Party 2011

Page Page 1010

May 4, 2011, was a dreary, soggy day. But, the forecast didn’t

deter the more-than-a-dozen consumers and volunteers to

attend the annual CWAB® Potting Party.

“This is a very rare occasion when our consumers don’t

get to go outside and do their planting,” stated Linda Worthy

agency Recreation Coordinator. “I think this has happened

only one other time since I have been here,” she added.

Due to inclement

weather, party attendees

remained indoors and seat-

ed flowers in pots which

they were allowed to take

home. Hotdogs were

served beforehand and

dessert afterwards.

The annual potting

party is only one of the reg-

ularly scheduled recre-

ational activities of Cabell-

Wayne Association of the

Blind.

CWAB®, its services, or

“Snail Braille” reader could read books to“Snail Braille” reader could read books tothe blindthe blind

May 6, 2011 by Katie GattoPhysorg.com

To most of us, Braille is largely a mystery. It feels really cool, but theidea of actually reading it is kind of a pipe dream. Our sense of touchsimply is not as sensitive as that of a blind person. That is not a prob-lem if you happen to have picked up a Braille book out of curiosity. Ifhowever, you have recently lost your eyesight, then this is a majorproblem. As with learning any new language, it takes time to adapt.

That time can be very frustrating, since writing and reading are stillimportant forms of communication in our society. That is where a toolsuch as the Snail Braille reader could come in handy.

This tool takes Braille, and by rolling over a straight line is able toread the Braille, then translate it into speech. The machine, which iscapable of storing text for latter replay, can also be paired with a stan-dard Bluetooth headset, similar to the ones you get with your cellphone. That is good news forstudents who want to studywithout having to search forthe page in a book, or for peo-ple who like to hear the instruc-tions while they are completinga task. Kinetic recharging,which could possibly allow thereader to charge the devicewhile they are using it.

The device is currently inthe design and prototypestages of development. Withproper funding, however, thistool could become indispensa-ble to the newly blind.

sumers, and other individuals interested in serving as an

overseeing body for the organization. Members are elected to

a three year term. Current members include: Kenneth Hicks,

Ernie Golder, Cheryl Asbury, Mark Oldaker, Carol Clemons,

and Heather McComas. GUIDE PAGE MAGAZINEGUIDE PAGE MAGAZINE editor

Jerry Crabtree recently sat down with Ernie Golder to discuss

his perspective of the board and the agency as a whole.

Tuesday, May 3, 2011Tuesday, May 3, 2011

GUIDE PAGE:GUIDE PAGE: This is Jerry Crabtree with Cabell-Wayne

Association of the Blind. Today I have with me an honored

guest, Ernie Golder. Ernie is one of the board members

of CWAB®. Ernie, thanks for coming.

ERNIE GOLDER:ERNIE GOLDER: You’re welcome, Jerry. It’s a pleasure to be

here.

An Interview With CWAB® Board Member

Ernie Golder

Page Page 2222 June 2011June 2011

GP:GP: Ernie has been a long-time board member for Cabell-

Wayne Association of the Blind. Let’s touch a little bit on

what kind of background you have. What did you do prior to

becoming a board member?

EGEG: When I got out of high school, I got a job in industry as a

mail boy in a big plant. I worked my way up doing several dif-

ferent jobs. I entered the military for four years and ended up

in Korea. When I came back, I got married and realized I need-

ed something more than I had to get by, I needed specialized

education. So, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Commerce

and Finance from Wilkes University in (Wilkes-Barre) Northeast

Pennsylvania. I did this by going to night school. It got to the

point where I had to take a leave of absence from my work to

finish school. When I completed the degree, I went back to

work for the company I had left. I started to move up in the

organization. It was a big plant – American Car & Foundry.

They had two plants in Pennsylvania, I worked for both. As I

moved up in the company, that’s how I came to Huntington.

GPGP: What year was that?

EG:EG: 1965. American Car & Foundry had a plant here on Third

Avenue. I worked in the accounting and finance aspect of the

business. I was here for four years then transferred to their

headquarters in the St. Louis area. I worked there for a couple

of years then came back here (to Huntington) as the comptrol-

Page Page 2323June 2011June 2011

ler or “head financial guy.”

I stayed in that position for a number of years. The plant

went through some union and production difficulties. Then in

1985 the plant closed. I didn’t know if I had a future. But, we

negotiated with the unions and were successful in reopening

the plant.

I remember the union asking the president of the company

who was going to be the plant manager and he responded

“Ernie Golder.” I could have fallen off the chair! That was high-

ly unusual because plant managers at that time came from the

engineering department or production experienced people who

were capable of running that kind of plant. I was in finance. I

had good managerial skills and worked well with people. So I

surrounded myself with an excellent staff who were experts in

what they did. We re-opened the plant and within the first

month it was profitable. We accomplished a lot of things. I told

the union I wanted to treat people the way I wanted to be treat-

ed: fair and honest. There were some doubters, but I won them

over.

GP:GP: How long were you manager?

EGEG: Until I retired, which was December of 1993.

The best thing I was able to accomplish was that I was able to

establish a working relationship with the labor bargaining unit.

We solved problems. And we did it every day.

Page Page 2424 June 2011June 2011

There was a time when they had hundreds of grievances.

We eliminated that. Some of them even went to arbitration

where lawyers got involved along with labor mediators. We

eliminated all that. It became a harmonious relationship.

I encounter people on the street who come up to me and

say, “Mr. Golder, I want to thank you.” It is hard to recognize

them without their working clothes – hard hat, etc. I’d say, “Why

do you say that?” They’d say, “I used to hate to get up and go

into that plant to work. It’s a pleasure now. I really enjoy it. I

look forward to it. And it’s all that you have done for us.”

GPGP: That makes you feel good.

EGEG: Certainly it did. I’ve heard comments from people whom I

don’t even know. I think that’s what’s lacking in a lot of places

today. You get labor and management, or even in government,

you have people who are just looking out for themselves.

When that happens you don’t get anything accomplished and

everything is in turmoil. I am proud I was able to accomplish

that. I lay in bed at night and think it’s all the associations you

have when you grow up that makes you the person you are. I

grew up during the depression – the big one, my parents were

poor. Everybody was poor. They (my parents) worked hard and

I never forgot that. You know, when you are poor and are

around people who are better off than you, they look down their

nose at you. I never did that. Even when I was successful. I

never took advantage of my position. It was a good experience

Page Page 2525June 2011June 2011

that I was able to manage people. They’d do anything to do the

job for me. When you can reach people to do that, you’ve

accomplished something.

GP:GP: This was 1993. How did you find out about Cabell-Wayne

Association of the Blind?

EG:EG: I had a person who worked at ACF by the name of Laundle

Powers who was involved with Cabell-Wayne. His wife, Joann

was the president of CWAB® at the time.

Cabell-Wayne was in turmoil in those years. Laundle told

her about me and that I was retired. He said I had all the tools

she would need to help. She called and asked if I would volun-

teer to be treasurer of the organization. I agreed. When I got

into it, I realized I had a real kettle of fish on my hands!

The Teubert Foundation was skeptical of the organization.

They wondered if CWAB® had things under control. I helped

straighten out the finances and we got the business aspect of

it under control. We started operating it like a good business.

I was instrumental in hiring Paul (Slone) as director. That must

have been ’94-’95. Things started to straighten out.

I remember CWAB® talking about getting a building of their

own – at the time Cabell-Wayne had headquarters in the West

Virginia Building. I thought ‘boy, that’s somewhat a pie in the

sky.’ It came to pass when this (38 Washington) property

became available. It’s been very enjoyable to see it grow over

the years.

Page Page 2626 June 2011June 2011

CWAB® has had a few minor problems over the years but

weathered through it. CWAB® has an excellent managerial

staff. Things run very smooth and they’re very productive. I am

proud of the organization and what they’ve been able to do and

what they continue to do.

I served as (treasurer) for as many years as their constitu-

tion allowed and then I had to get out, then they asked me to be

on the board of directors.

GPGP: What year was that, do you remember?

EG:EG: It must have been around 2000. I was allowed to be treas-

urer for six years. Whenever my term expired they always

asked me to run again. I remember at an association meeting

(consumer) Skip Wright asked me to run again and I agreed. I

couldn’t say no to Cabell-Wayne. I realize it’s hard to find

someone willing to volunteer that can do the job – to serve on

the board of directors. I know some of these other places peo-

ple like to serve on a board of directors, but I’m satisfied here

where the rubber meets the road. I am happy to make a contri-

bution.

GPGP: What do you think during your tenure on the board your

biggest contribution to Cabell-Wayne has been?

EG:EG: I bring my many years of managerial work to Cabell-Wayne

and I look at the (current) board of directors and they’re a good

Page Page 2727June 2011June 2011

group of people. Paul is very good at what he does and always

tries to do the right thing. I can share with him what I think the

best managerial approach to what problems I can foresee to

make a decision for what lies down the road that he might have

to contend with. I bring the managerial skills to the board of

directors from a business aspect of running Cabell-Wayne. I

think I’ve made that contribution. It gives people like the

Teubert Foundation, and Jimelle Bowen especially, knowing

that type of person is working with the organization, a better

feeling of what’s going on here.

GP:GP: Cabell-Wayne has grown from a small organization in the

mid-70’s from their location in the West Virginia building now to

38 Washington with the Paul R. Slone Activities Center located

behind us (physically). What do you think is in the future?

EG:EG: I think Cabell-Wayne is going to continue to grow – it’s

going to get bigger. It’s hard to see that right now, but I can’t

see a future without it growing. People are living longer and

have incidents of vision problems as they get older. Personally,

I’ve experienced some myself - not real bad. I can see there’s

going to be a larger demand for services. It will grow.

Really, when you get right down to it, you have the activi-

ties center, the different specialties that are offered, and people

with vision problems need CWAB®’s assistance. I was always

amazed, once I became involved with Cabell-Wayne, with the

consumers and what they can do. I mean the people who are

blind, legally blind, (and visually impaired) and what they are

Page Page 2828 June 2011June 2011

able to accomplish. I thought to myself, if I ever had that prob-

lem what a challenge it would be. They handle it, and they live

life and they go on. Cabell-Wayne plays a roll in that and I am

proud of that.

GPGP: If someone was blind or visually impaired and didn’t know

about Cabell-Wayne, what would you tell them to make them

consider us as a help to them? You know some people are

proud, they don’t want assistance, they want to accomplish life

on their own but, there comes a time when they do need that

assistance.

EG:EG: I think we should (advertise) make the public more aware

of the organization. People who have vision problems, or fam-

ily members who have vision problems should contact the

organization and see what they have to offer. Just say, “Hey,

let’s talk. I think we can help you.” Encourage them to come in

and see us. See what we have to offer. People are proud.

When I talk to someone who knows someone who is encounter-

ing a vision problem, I tell them to call Cabell-Wayne, see what

they have to offer. There has to be some outreach. Say, “Hey,

come and see us. Talk to us.” I always tell my son, “You can’t

catch a fish unless you cast your line (out in the water).” When

you think about it, that’s the way life is. You can sit here and

say ‘we have all these services’ but nobody comes. Well…..

GPGP: Throw your line see what you catch …

Page Page 2929June 2011June 2011

EG:EG: You can start small. I see hospitals that advertise we offerthis and this, they do it all the time. But their name is being putout to the public. I know there are a lot of people who havevision problems that need help. They are proud or hesitant.But hey, everybody has problems of one type or another. If youneed help, don’t be afraid to ask for it. I think Cabell-Wayneshould do a better job of that – reaching out to people. Youhave to grow. But that makes more demands on the organiza-tion, and that’s good. I think you’ll find a way to do it.

GP:GP: Ernie, thanks for coming by.

EG:EG: It’s been a pleasure. You know, I get talking about thingsand I get carried away. I look back on my life and career and Iam satisfied. I tell my wife a lot of people who retire to NorthCarolina, or Florida or someplace else and enjoy the remainingyears of their life. I find Huntington is not the same cityas when I first came here in ’65, but it’s still a good place. Ifpeople would work at it and help, it still could be a real niceplace to live and raise a family. My wife and I are here for theduration.
