   Huntington Democratic mayoral candidates Bob Bailey, from left, Shawn Bresnahan, David Felinton and Lucile Wight participate in a forum sponsored by The Herald-Dispatch and WSAZ-TV on Tuesday, April 29, 2008, at Marshall University's Don Morris Room.
   ...
   Cabell County Commission President Bob Bailey, incumbent Huntington Mayor David Felinton, local business owner Shawn Bresnahan and Guyandotte resident Lucille "Lucy" Wight took prepared questions from sponsors WSAZ NewsChannel 3 and The Herald-Dispatch and the audience.
   ...
   "We need someone who can run this city like a business," Bresnahan said. "We need to increase revenue into this city, and we have to bring in outside money."
   
   Bresnahan, operating partner of Le Cook Store on 3rd Avenue, touted his years of business experience and spent most of the forum focused on bringing in new businesses, events and sponsorships to share in the city's costs of improving the city.
   ...
   Bresnahan said increasing revenue in the city and grandfathering in new employees will help fund the city's fledgling pension system.
   ...
   While Wight did not comment on the problem, Bresnahan said the dilapidated housing problem and crime are directly linked.
   ...
   Bresnahan said he intends on bringing in more money, and business opportunities, by naming local buildings and locations after certain companies that will pay the city for the sponsorship. Holding more festivals and marketing them more frequently, he said, will bring more tourism dollars into town. Bresnahan said he would also like to see a riverboat gambling establishment make weekend stops in Huntington.
   
   "We can be the regional hub for tourism," Bresnahan said.

   Shawn Bresnahan, manager of Le Cook Store, said the camps aim to teach kids the joy of cooking along with all the aspects of working in a kitchen, not just cooking. They learn proper safety techniques when using knives and the stove, proper food handling procedures, how to make healthy meals with nutritional balance and how to clean up after cooking.
   
   "We try to make it fun," Bresnahan said, "but we also want them to learn."
   
   The kids attend the camp from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and each day they focus on something different. They learn how to follow recipes and make items from scratch. The children don't use blenders or mixers, but instead do things by hand, Bresnahan said.
   
   On the first day, Bresnahan teaches the kids how to properly handle a knife and then has each child try all the different spices he or she will be using to learn the flavors and uses.
   
   "By the end of it all, they've had like five glasses of water," Bresnahan said.
   ...
   Bresnahan has made a large focus of the class on healthy cooking, teaching the kids how to read labels on products, and how to provide balance in cooking and eating. He said he hopes this will instill healthy habits with the kids that they will take home with them. The kids have to try everything they cook, he said
   
   "I tell them it's the cook's responsibility to taste it before they serve it to the customer," he said.
   
   Bresnahan said the camps have been a great success and he hopes to continue holding them, and perhaps offer Saturday sessions during school, as well as advanced classes for returning students.
