Glasses, Frames, & Accessories needed for May Mission Project Tiffani Webb, a junior at Cabell Midland High School, is working on a year-long project of small missions for local organizations.

She is collecting Eye Glasses, Frames, and Accessories for the Lion’s Club as the May Mission Project.

Free for you! Priceless to them!

Donate glasses and change someone’s life. Imagine if you could help a child read. An adult succeed in his job. A senior maintain her independence. And provide a community with more opportunities to grow and thrive.

Every day, our recycled eyeglasses programs do all of this and more.

The need for glasses – 153 million reasons Lions Recycle for Sight. According to the World Health Organization, 153 million people have uncorrected refractive errors (near-sightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism).

Most of these vision impairments are quickly diagnosed and easy to treat with corrective lenses. It costs Lions less than .08 cents to provide a pair of recycled eyeglasses and change someone’s life.

For children, clear vision means a better education, healthier development and a better quality of life.

For adults, it means greater employment opportunity and economic strength.

For seniors, it means less dependence on others.

Items may be dropped off at Source4 in Perry Morris Square, Milton.

“Forgiven Trio” to Debbie’s Poetry Corner sing at Beulah Ann

By Debra J. Harmes-Kurth

Send your poetry to Debra Harmes-Kurth 1042 Pike Street • Milton,WV 25541 Poetry is a form of art, and the artist (that’s you, the writer) can choose how they want to write. You choose the content, form, line length, to rhyme or not to rhyme, and you decide if you want your poetry to be familiar or abstract. As the artist you are creating a picture with words, write down what you feel or see in your mind. Like any other art form there are guidelines that should be kept in mind, but one of the wonderful things about poetry is the freedom you have in making your poem come alive.

Once you have your ideas on paper you can go back and edit it.

Remove any unneeded words, or rearrange the wording of a line so that is sounds better. You can even have a friend read it and see what his/her comments are. I always appreciate another person’s opinion; it helps me to know if I accomplished what I set out to do, or if I need to work on the poem a bit more.

When you get to the point that you believe your poem expresses what you intended, it is time to send it out. We would like you to send it here, but there are other options available to you, and I will go into some of those in the next column. Until next time, keep reading and writing. You can send your poetry to the above address or email it to ca-

The wigs are itchy during the day and her head is cold during the long sleepless nights of pain.

She held the yarn of a sweater I created and wistfully noted the gentle softness.

The purple was a favorite color.

“A cap?” I asked her. “I’ll make you one.”

The hint of a smile as she nods, the first happy smile in many weeks.

I sit next to the fire as I hurry to finish while snow hits the window and the wind moans in sorrow.

She hasn’t got long, I must finish my gift. the least I can do for her comfort.

And yet there is a comfort that it brings.

For like a great blanket it keeps me warm, And the world is a cold and draughty place; And there are some that shiver in alarm As the shadows of night darken their face.

I advance deeper into banks of snow And hold tight my patchwork to keep me warm.

In odd colors and patterns I must go Further into Life to my great alarm, And staring at my patchwork specimen Are the years that will never come again.

Fishing for Spawning Bass

The Cabell Standard

We'd like to hear about your Fishing Experiences

By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

Thanks to one of the warmest winters on record, bass could be spawning a little earlier than normal this year.

According to the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, black bass are moving into their spawn staging areas at Beech Fork Lake in Cabell County, a little ahead of schedule.

When the water temperature approaches 60 degrees, bass will find a shallow, protected area for spawning. The male usually picks a spot that is easy to defend, near a log, rock or similar structure that has quick access to deeper water.

During the winter months, bodies of water retain much of the heat they picked up during the summer and fall months.

That's why rivers seldom freeze even when air temperatures have been cold for some time.

Likewise, water is slow to absorb the sun's heat the in the spring. While small streams can warm quickly, larger bodies of water, such as lakes and large rivers can take months to warm.

Joe Merchant, a Charleston-based NationalWeather Service meteorologist, said much of the unusual weather this winter has been the result of La Nina, a cooling of Pacific Ocean water that can change weather patterns around the world. While Europe saw one of its coldest winters on record, North America had one of its warmest. Last winter was West Virginia's sixth warmest on record.

Bass fishing certainly improves with the spawn. It's the time of year when bass are easiest to catch.You'll find them in relatively shallow areas – between one and six feet deep usually. Topwater baits work well on the outside edges of weeds and through heavy cover.

Once the spawn is over, bass will move out from the beds. It's one of the toughest times to catch them, but keep in mind that on a lake, bass won't necessarily all be spawning at the same time, due to variations in water temperature. Generally speaking, bass spawning will start and end earliest on the northwest corner of the lake, because that is the area that receives the most sunlight.

After the spawn, bass will relax for a couple of weeks before they resume normal feeding. During that time, try fishing drop offs near flats for suspended bass.

The fact that bass are easier to catch at spawning time has led most states at some point to close black-bass fishing season from April to early summer. Yet, many states have lifted those restrictions because of evidence indicating that even heavy angling doesn't have a serious impact during that time.

“The males are nest guarders for the young of the year, and if you remove fish from the nest, that can allow predation to occur. That's where the sensitivity of the population comes in, if you have concern about predation on eggs or the young of the year, you may not want to have fish removed,” said Bret Preston, Warm Water Fisheries Chief for the West Virginia DNR.

Even catch-and-release can allow predation.

“Some studies show that predation can occur quickly. You remove a bass and the predators can move in very quickly, there can be some predation before the fish returns to its nest,” he said.

Yet, neither scenario has been enough of a concern for officials to create fishing seasons for black bass that would make fishing off-limits during spawning time.

“We haven't seen that kind of variation in population from our sampling to indicate there are problems. We haven't seen the need for a closure or a catch-andrelease regulation to protect populations during that time,” Preston said.

This week, we're including trout stocking and fishing reports, which include condition reports for streams and lakes. The information is gathered from several sources, but primarily the West Virginia DNR, although if I've been able to sneak a little fishing time in, there will be personal observations in there.

If you've fished somewhere, we would like to hear about it. We'd like to hear how the water was and how the fishing was.

One thing I've been reading lately is that white bass fishing is starting to pick up on the Ohio River. This seems almost unbelievable to me, white bass usually doesn't start getting hot until June or late May at the earliest.

If anybody has a stream thermometer, I'd be really interested to hear of readings from streams. This winter has been exceptionally warm. I remember many years taking readings on the Ohio River of less than 40 degrees in early spring – the Ohio takes forever to warm up – but this year, I would suspect the river to be very warm.

When I was a young news reporter in Parkersburg, I fished every day – in the mornings before work and during my lunch hour. I primarily flyfished. Over those years, I flyfished for carp in January and February, then switched to spinning reels and softbaits for freshwater drum in March andApril. Sometime in lateApril or early May, I would switch to fishing for black bass with lures. In June, the gizzard shad would start running out of the Little

Kanawha River and up the Ohio – making for some excellent white bass fishing. I kept fishing for white bass until the river cooled in the winter. My temperature readings for the Ohio River didn't usually drop below 70 degrees until well into December.

In fact, some of the best white bass fishing I've ever had was during sudden cold snaps in December.The largest white bass I ever caught, I hooked in the Ohio River on a flyrod on a bone-chilling day in midDecember. It was 16 degrees outside, wind chill was somewhere around zero.

The water, however, was still in the upper 60s. Some of my best fishing has been with cold air and warm water.

I'm really interested in how that cycle might have changed this year thanks to the mild winter we've had. I would expect fishing on the Ohio and Kanawha to pick up really early this year.

So please, when you fish, let us know where you went and how you did. I'm not looking to reveal any honey holes, just the general location (such as the Pocatalico River in Putnam County), how the fishing was and what the water was like.

By the time you get your newspaper, the condition report will be about four days old. Obviously, if the stream report is low and milky – and it hasn't rained in the meantime – it will probably be the same or low and clear when you read your newspaper.

One good resource for stream-condition information is the Wvangler.com forum. If you ask “what does such and such stream look like” it's likely someone there has fished it recently and can tell you what the conditions are and people are often posting their fishing experiences.

We'd also like to see pictures of your fish and possibly run them in the newspaper. So send your stories – and your pictures.

We're also looking for businesses to sponsor our outdoors page and keep it going – the business-card ads start at $30 an issue – drop me a line at the e-mail below. There's no better place to reach the avid outdoors person and there is certainly no other outdoors page to my knowledge devoted to Putnam and Cabell counties.

Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.

Fishing Report: Stream conditions as of Friday: Ohio River Wheeling, normal and clear, low and milky in lower section of river.

Elk River, low and clear.

Williams River, low and clear.

AWARD FROM PAGE 1 Alumni Center on Marshall’s Huntington campus.

Outstanding high school students and Marshall students in both Latin and writing competitions were recognized during an awards ceremony.

Brad Rowe, president of the Maier Foundation, was on hand to help present the awards.

The Maier Latin Cup Awards were established in 1979 by William J. Maier Jr., father of former Maier Foundation President Ed Maier, to repay in some way the special attention his high school Latin teacher at Huntington High School showed him.

A high school graduate at the age of 16, Maier received an award then given by West Virginia University which named him the top Latin student in the state. He credited the extra devotion to Latin and Latin students by his teacher as having helped him secure a scholarship to Harvard College.

The Maier Latin Cup Awards celebrate publicly the best high school Latin students in West Virginia. They are administered

by Marshall’s Department of Classics.

Also, Marshall’s Department of Classics sponsors the Maier Latin Scholarship which is underwritten by the Maier Foundation. This $2,000 scholarship is intended to support the work of a student presently pursuing a Latin major at Marshall and who

is enrolled in advanced Latin classes.

The William J. Maier Writing Awards were established in 1972

by William J. Maier Jr., in honor of his father. These awards, for excellence in writing, are presented annually to students enrolled in English classes at Marshall.

Here are the winners of this year’s Latin and writing awards.

He is also survived by nephews, Bob McComas, Fred McComas, Charles Adkins, Tim Adkins, John Pratt, Billy Inscoe, Jimmy McDonald and Corky Bailey, and nieces Tami Garvin, Lillian Pauley, Debbie Moore,

Geraldine Ferguson, Lavenia Long, Betty Pelletier, Helen Inscoe and Audra Sowards, and also nephew Tom McComas and family with whom he made his home the last three years.

He was a lifetime member of Salt Rock Methodist (Community) Church and also attended Beulah Ann Missionary Baptist Church in his later years. He served his country in the U.S. Army during WWII from 1942-1945 in the Asiatic Theater, specifically in the China, Burma and India (CBI) conflicts, and achieved the rank of Corporal. He was very active in several civic and fraternal organizations including Hamlin Masonic Lodge #79 AF&AM, Beni Kedem Shriners, American Legion Post 16 of Huntington, General Andrew Lewis Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, and Kentucky Colonels. Uncle Bud retired from being an Operating Engineer and was a proud 55year member of the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 132.

Funeral services were held Sunday, April 15. at Wallace Funeral Home, Barboursville, W.Va., by the Rev. Paul Meadows and Pastor Jason Salmons. Masonic graveside services followed at the McComas family cemetery in Salt Rock.

Those of us that knew Uncle Bud will miss his quick wit, compassion, and warm personality that he so freely gave to all. The children (young and old) of Salt Rock and the surrounding area will miss the candy and coins which he always managed to produce from his pockets at just the right time. The family would like to thank Dr. James Goetz, the nurses and staff on 4-South Team #1 Telemetry and Cardiovascular Intensive Care Units of SMMC, and his daytime caregiver J.D. Chapman for their compassionate and loving care of our beloved brother, uncle and friend.

JOHN MATTHEW "Johnny" PIEPENBRINK John Matthew "Johnny" Piepenbrink, 43, made his final trip home to be with our Savior on April 6, 2012. He was born on April 10, 1968, in Huntington, W.Va., where he was a lifelong resident.
