Milton Middle School wrestler brings home World Title MILTON – Milton Middle School eighth grade wrestler Caperton Humphrey recently brought home a world championship title from the Black Hills Nationals AAU World Folkstyle Championships held in Spearfish, S.D. The wrestling tournament was held March 16-17 on the campus of Black Hills State University and featured hundreds of wrestlers from around the country.

Humphrey competed in, and won, the 150-pound weight class of the 13-14-year-old Schoolboy division. John Beaudrie of Wyoming finished second in the division, while South Dakota's Noah Diamond finished third.

The most recent success for Humphrey comes on the heels of winning a Cabell County Wrestling Championship in February. This year he set a new Milton Middle School record for number of wins in a single season at 53 wins with only two losses.

In January, he won the 145pound weight division at the

Humphrey has participated in organized wrestling since he was six years old.

“My dad wanted me to try it, so I did. He said if I didn't like it, I would never have to do it again, but I went to one practice and got hooked on it,” he said.

He trains several hours each day, but doesn't let it interfere with his school work.

“After school, I practice from 3:05 (p.m.) until 6 (p.m.), then I lift weights after practice and do push-ups and pull ups at the house,” he said. “My G.P.A. (grade-point average) stays 3.5 or higher. I just kind of manage my time. If I have a lot of homework, I won't work out as much. School comes first.”

When he is not wrestling, Humphrey plays baseball and football.

He plans to attend college and earn a law degree, but is unsure whether he wants to wrestle or play football at the collegiate level.

“You ask me which I like best, football or wrestling – it just depends. If I am in football, I train and work to be the best at that. If it is wrestling season, I train and work to be the best at that. When I'm in football, I love football more than wrestling. When I am in wrestling, I love wrestling more than football. It all depends on when you ask me,” he said.

County to purchase land in Barboursville for new Ambulance Station

jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

HUNTINGTON – The Cabell County Commission has approved $319,800 for the purchase of 2.4 acres of land in Barboursville with the plan to build an emergency services ambulance station there.

Gordon Merry, director of Cabell County Emergency Services, said that he was been working for nearly two years to find a suitable site in the Barboursville area.

When the new ambulance station is built, it will be the county's

eighth emergency services station.

“Our call volumes are up,” Merry said, noting that last year emergency services responded to 27,000 calls countywide, and about 2,200 of those calls came from the Barboursville area.

“This will cut down on our response time,” Merry said. “It's the right thing to do for the public.”

The property the county is acquiring is on Riverview Drive in Barboursville.

Merry said that he hopes to have funds in the next fiscal year, which begins July 1, to build the

new emergency services building.

He estimated the cost of building the new building to be in the $1.2 million to $1.3 million range.

But once complete, Merry said that he should not have to seek additional buildings for some time.

With a new station in Milton completed within the last two years, Barboursville remains the biggest unaddressed area in the county.

“This station is needed very badly,” said Cabell County Commissioner Bob Bailey. “There are 2,200 calls a year that come from

that area. This is very much needed.”

Commission President Nancy Cartmill, a former mayor of Barboursville, said that buying the property and planning to build an emergency services station in that area is a significant accomplishment.

“This is the greatest thing we have done in some time,” Cartmill said. “The next thing is to get the money to build the station, and we will have the county pretty well covered.”

Don’t Keep Your Heap!

The economy is showing signs of recovery even with the rising cost of gas. Many people who held on to their car during the recession are now looking to replace it with a more fuel efficient one.

If you are one of those people, you have to figure out what to do with your car. If your vehicle does not get good gas mileage, has a lot of miles, is more than 5 years old or is not in good condition, the dealership won’t offer you much for it as a trade in. They won’t want it because there is no

The Cabell Standard demand for it. It will be difficult to sell it privately for the same reason.

One alternative is to sell it for a couple of hundred dollars to a junk yard. A better alternative is to donate your car to charity.

Cars4Charities will gladly take your old car, no matter what shape it is in. In return for your generosity, you will get a tax deduction of $500 or more. They have hundreds of charities that can be helped by your car donation. For details, please go to http://www.cars4charities.org/ or call 866.448.3487.

COMMISSION FROM PAGE 1 Merry agreed.

“This should be our last one,” he said. “This will really make the coverage excellent.”

Commissioners also approved the advertisement for proposals to provide architectural services for the new emergency services ambulance station at their March 29 meeting.

In other news at the March 29 meeting, commissioners approved $3,000 for the Cabell Huntington Health Department to help promote a vulnerable needs registry to senior citizens in Cabell County.

The vulnerable needs registry gives residents with special needs the opportunity to provide information to assist emergency management agencies in planning to meet the needs of vulnerable populations before, during, and after emergencies.

Elizabeth Ayers, public information officer with the Health Department, said that by putting information into the registry emergency planners and health officials are better equipped to assist those who have special needs if a disaster were to arise.

She said that thus far many of

the people who are registered into the system are school children with special needs. She said that more needs to be done to let senior citizens know about the registry, which can be found online at www.helpmewv.org.

Before voting to approve the $3,000 in funding to promote the registry, Bailey asked Ayers if anything could be done about the high cost of a vaccination for shingles.

Bailey said that he had several senior citizens complain to him about the $180 cost of the vaccination, which are recommended

for those 60 and over to prevent shingles.

Ayers said that Health Department officials have been working with different vaccine companies to try and bring the cost down.

In other news at the March 29 meeting, commissioners set a public test of early voting equipment for April 18 at 10 a.m. at the courthouse.

Also, commissioners approved the employment of Richard Heater as a full-time paramedic.

Commissioners also approved advertising for bids to companies to provide new roofing for the

cabins and main hall at the Cabell County 4-H Camp.

Commissioners also approved a $2,500 community participation grant for the Collis P. Huntington Railroad Historical Society, and a $1,000 community participation grant for the Tri-State Youth Orchestra.

The next meeting of the Cabell County Commission will be April 12 at 10 a.m. at the courthouse in Huntington. April will also mark the start of the Commission's new meeting schedule of meeting on the second and fourth Thursdays of every month.

Debbie’s Poetry Corner

By Debra J. Harmes-Kurth

Send your poetry to Debra Harmes-Kurth 1042 Pike Street • Milton,WV 25541 In the last column I wrote briefly about free verse. This time I am going to give you a few guidelines on rhyming. I want to stress the word here, as there are many types of poems that rhyme. If you are going to rhyme a poem, make sure your words sound natural and not forced. In other words don’t just stick a word in there to make it rhyme. Most rhyming poems have a pattern, for example: you have a four line stanza and you make the second and fourth line rhyme, make sure to follow that same pattern throughout the entire poem.

Another thing is not to make the poem sound too much like a nursery rhyme with a singsong quality to it. However that is fine is you are writing a poem for children. Lastly if you are going to use rhyming words, rhyme the whole poem in your chosen pattern not just a set of lines stuck in here and there randomly.

Once again I suggest that you get a book on poetry forms, you will be amazed at all the different forms a poem can take. This week try something new, something you have not tried before, and send it to us. We will be watching for it.

Remember you can mail your submissions to the above address or email them to cabellputnamstandardpoetry@hotmail.com. *** The Daffodil Fairy

I rest atop the daffodils Perched daintily on my throne..

Tiny I am, with butterfly wings My presence is truly unknown ..

Daffodils flutter and sway with ease Dancing hills they seem to be ..

Best be quiet, for among them I hide Nestled quietly beneath their leaves ..

The daffodil's flower is my home My song only a whisper, you see ..

Stems of bright green, I tightly cling As I fly and swing in the breeze ..

A welcoming spring, their faces give Bowed trumpeters, so they appear ..

My life is short, just like the daffodils Summer fading and Fall grows near ..

From a Winter sleep, again I awake Golden ruffles, wave to me from the hills ..

Home once again, so there you will find Just me and the dancing daffodils ..

Huntington woman blames KFC for Son's Injuries

By Kyla Asbury - The West Virginia Record

The old have passed to glory, but their dream still firmly stands.

Shell of mortar, stone and blood, built by proud and loving hands.

Windows paned with agony, peeling paint and drying wood.

It's beauty weeds now cover, like a veil of widowhood.

If you in silence listen, to the old brown house of stone, you'll hear her secrets on the wind, of stories yet unknown.

HUNTINGTON, WV - A Huntington woman is suing Tri-State Food Systems for injuries her son sustained while at a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant.

DHHR publishes ‘Obesity in West Virginia’ report The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources Bureau for Public Health has released a report titled Obesity in West Virginia. The report contains statistics about the state’s obesity rates among adults and children and compares the data with national averages.

Although the report places West Virginia sixth in the nation for prevalence of obesity in 2009, the DHHR is committed to reversing this trend through increased focus on system and environmental changes that can promote access to healthy food options and opportunities for increased physical activity.

Ongoing projects have increased the number of Farmers Markets in underserved areas, and established partnerships with convenience stores in the Mid-Ohio Valley region to offer fresh fruits and vegetables.

Healthy checkout aisles have also been established in local grocery stores in an effort to offer parents healthy alternatives to sugarladen snacks when shopping with children.

Data from evaluations of the West Virginia Healthy Lifestyle

Act indicated that 18.5 percent of kindergarteners were obese, compared with 22.1 percent of second graders and 29.6 percent of fifth graders. This increased rate of obesity in relation to age supports the Department’s efforts to increase opportunities for physical activity in both schools and communities.

Successes include resolutions in several counties to incorporate quality physical education in schools, and the establishment of Complete Streets policies to ensure safe and well connected areas that encourage walking and biking.

The report also includes the state’s rate of selected risk factors and chronic conditions that are associated with obesity, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain cancers, arthritis and hypertension. For more information concerning efforts to address obesity, contact the Division of Health Promotion and Chronic Disease at 304-356-4193.

The report can be viewed in its entirety online at: http://www.wvdhhr.org/bph/HS C/Pubs/Other/ObesityReport2011/obesityreport2011.pdf.

Area Host Families Needed Foreign high school students are scheduled to arrive soon for academic semester program homestays, and the sponsoring organization, Pacific Intercultural Exchange (P.I.E), needs a few more local hosts. Americans mentor international teenagers and provide a caring environment, a room and daily meals.

P.I.E. area representatives match students with host families by finding common interests and lifestyles through an informal in-home meeting. Prospective host families are able to review student information to select the perfect match. There is no such thing as a typical host family. One can be married, single, retired, with children or no children.

The international teenagers are ages 15-18 years old, have their own spending money, are academically strong, speak English well enough to attend a public high school, and are waiting to hear from a

friendly American.

The international students have accident and health insurance and are anxious to share their cultural experiences with their new American families.

P.I.E. currently has programs to match almost every family's needs, ranging in length from a semester to a full academic year, where the students attend local high schools. Families who host for P.I.E. are also eligible to claim a $50.00 per month charitable contribution deduction on their itemized tax returns for each month they host a sponsored student.

For the upcoming school year, P.I.E. has students from Germany, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Belgium, Brazil, South Korea, Mexico, Norway, China, Denmark, Thailand and other countries.

P.I.E. is a non-profit educational organization that has sponsored more than 20,000 stu-

dents from 40 countries since its founding in 1975. The organization is designated by the United States Department of State and is listed by the Council on Standards for International Educational Travel (CSIET), certifying that the organization complies with the standards set forth in CSIET's Standards for International Educational Travel Programs.

Families are encouraged to contact the program immediately, as it will allow the proper time for the students and hosts to get to know one another before they actually meet for the first time. People interested in learning more about student exchange or arranging for a meeting with a community representative may call P.I.E., toll-free, at 1-888-743-8721. The agency also has possibilities for community volunteers to assist and work with area host families, students and schools.

Lincoln, Marion and Wayne counties residents eligible to apply for federal disaster unemployment funds Disaster Unemployment Assistance (DUA) benefits will be available to qualifying persons residing or working in Lincoln, Marion and Wayne counties who were affected by severe storms, tornadoes, flooding, mudslides and landslides that occurred from Feb. 29 through March 5.

Claims need to be filed by April 23. The benefits cover selfemployed workers not usually entitled to unemployment insurance, including farmers. People applying for DUA need to provide proof of past earnings, such as business records or bank

statements and their most recent income tax form, at the time they file their claim. Any WorkForce West Virginia One Stop Office can accept DUA claims, including the following offices serving the affected counties: Charleston, Clarksburg, Fairmont, Huntington, Logan, and Morgantown.

Those eligible for benefits in addition to individuals who lost their jobs directly due to the severe storms, tornadoes, flooding, mudslides and landslides may also include: (1) individuals who are unable to reach their job or

self-employment location because they must travel through the affected area and are prevented from doing so by the disaster, (2) individuals who were to commence employment or selfemployment but were prevented by the disaster, (3) individuals who became the breadwinner or major support for a household because of the death of the head of household due to the disaster, or (4) individuals who cannot work or perform services in selfemployment because of an injury caused as a direct result of the disaster.

Auction and flea market slated for Radio and Technology Museum

By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

If you have vintage electronics on your mind, this will be the place to be.

The Museum of Radio and Technology and West Virginia Broadcasting Hall of Fame in Huntington will be holding its annual Spring Traders event on April 14.

The event starts at 8 a.m. with vendors offering a variety of antique radios, phonographs, etc. as well as a wide variety of components and accessories, followed by an auction of select museum pieces.

David Bond, vice president, said the museum, which is located at 1640 Florence Avenue, will be auctioning off duplicate items at noon.

“If we get an item that someone is donating to us and we have something like it, we compare them and put the best one on display. If the other one is on loan, it goes back, if not, it gets auctioned. This is one of the ways we raise money – flea market in the morning, auction in the afternoon,” Bond said.

Curator Geoff Bourne said that the museum needs to make room for new artifacts coming in.

“A lot of these we swap out, or convert to cash to use for other things,” he said.

While some models are hardto-find models, a great number of early radios have survived into the 21st Century.

“People today, especially young people, don't think any-

These (antique) radios were built to last a lifetime and are all repairable, even today. Vacuum tubes are still available, you can buy resistors and capacitors and some parts hardly ever give you trouble. One thing we stress to young people, all of this was repairable – these were not throwaway items,” he said.

Certainly one reason radios of days gone by were built to last and be repaired was the cost.

David Bond, museum vice president, said that his spent part of his World War I bonus (which the government didn't pay until the mid 1930s) to purchase a

1936 Scott Radio with a whopping 33 vacuum tubes.

“When I was a kid,” Bond recalled, “there was a radio in the dining room I could use, but I wasn't allowed to touch the Big Scott.”

The Scott radio had cost his father $219 (which would be over $3,500 in today's dollars).

The museum shows that many technologies that are considered the most modern of conveniences aren't so modern after all.

Fax machines, for instance.

That's 19th Century technology and the museum does have in its possession a U.S. Navy fax machine from World War II, which received faxes of weather maps, fleet orders and other important

Jim Pack's Wildlife Legacy

David Payne Sr.

Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the late Wayne Bailey, a West Virginia native who had a major impact on the resurgence of the wild turkey in the Eastern United States.

The man who picked up and carried Bailey's torch, Jim Pack, has his own legacy – a data revolution. He's the godfather of modern wildlife data collection. The only thing that Pack considered more valuable than raw data was more raw data. The trends he began in 1970 have made West Virginia a leader in wildlife sciences. West Virginia has a unique wealth of historical wildlife information – thanks to Pack – and that is a gift that keeps on giving.

The seeds of that data revolution were sown in 1966, when Pack was a young biologist. He had been sent to southern West Virginia to study squirrel migration. While staying at a hotel, he heard a DNR hunting forecast broadcast over the media that called for an excellent year of hunting.

“We had a freeze,” Pack recalled, “that went from Maine to Georgia right when everything was flower-

ing and it just knocked out mast conditions. I thought 'anybody who knows mast would never make a prediction like that.’ In 1970, I got a chance to do something about it.”

Pack created the first-ever real mast survey in West Virginia in 1970. Since then, biologists from around the state have gathered information about mast production to help hunters plan their trips. Every outdoor writer in the state for the last 40 years has used those mast surveys to for annual hunting forecasts.

Pack's true stroke of genius came in 1980 with his idea of mobilizing a volunteer army of shade-tree biologists to collect needed information about wild turkey populations in Spring Gobbler Survey. Pack had known for years that more data was needed to help the state manage the wild turkey population and set hunting seasons. Then, it dawned on him

– there were thousands of amateur biologists in the field already studying turkey every year. It would take an army of biologists to equal the data collected by hunters willing to write down their observations for the Spring Gobbler Survey.

“When you start talking about using 500 hunters a total of 10,000 hours or more in each of these surveys,” Pack said. “That information is so much more valuable. Even 20 or 30 biologists can't beat that.”

To increase participation, Pack made it fun. After that 1980 season, Pack and his staff compiled all the scientific data from the hunters, made sense of it and shared that in the Spring Gobbler Survey publication. In addition to all the necessary pie graphs and other scientific data to show the general state of turkey hunting in general, Pack included all the humorous stories hunters submitted.

Biologists, however, needed more data on animals beside turkey. In the early 1990s, Pack realized that a great deal of information could be gleaned from bowhunters, most of whom spend more time in the woods than anyone during their threemonth season. They are also the most easily distracted. As the hours pass, any animal that wonders by is welcome entertainment. Pack created the bowhunter survey and as a result, the state has a wealth of information on deer, squirrels, rabbits, foxes and other animals over the past two decades of collecting.

The bowhunter survey came at an interesting time, just when coyote populations were taking root in West Virginia. Those surveys are the primary and definitive source of information about the coyote's expansion in West Virginia.

Cabell Midland comes in second place at State Archery Tournament

By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

Cabell Midland High School made a strong showing at the seventh-annual West Virginia Archery in the Schools tournament, finishing second overall.

The event was held March 24 at the Charleston Civic Center. This year's tournament was the state's largest ever indoor archery tournament with more than 650 students from 50 schools competing, said Krista Snodgrass, state Archery in the Schools program coordinator.

Cabell-Midland finished second, behind only Ripley High School.

Buffalo Elementary finished sixth

in the elementary-school division.

The tournament has grown from a small event held in the Capital High School gymnasium less than a decade ago and this year had to be moved to the Civic center to accommodate its great size – organizers say more than 30,000 arrows were shot during the one-day tournament.

Competition was close. In the boy's high school division, for instance, only three points separated first from seventh place. Three Cabell-Midland students shot a score of 285.

Here is a breakdown of local archers who placed: In the elementary school boys'

competition: • Third place, Dalton Bailey, Buffalo Elementary, score 270.

Fourth place, Hunter Whittington, George Washington Middle School, 268.

Sixth place, Jacob Harmon, Buffalo Elementary, 265 Girls’ high school: • Second place, Alexis Parsons Cabell Midland High, 281.

Fifth place, Jessica Nicely Cabell Midland High, 279.

Boys’ high school: • Third place: Justin Jenkins Cabell Midland High, 286.

Sixth place: Tony Pinkerton Cabell Midland High, 285 (although he has the same score as seventh

place, the number of 10-point shots was used as a tie-breaker).

Seventh place: Cody Braley and Griffen McNeely (tie) Cabell Midland High, 285.

Team competition: • Elementary school, sixth place, Buffalo Elementary.

High School, second place, Cabell Midland High.

Kentucky was the first state to offer the program – West Virginia was third and modeled its program on Kentucky's. The program allows schools to include archery in their physical-education programs as well as extracurricular archery clubs. West Virginia's program started in 2004 with a pilot of less

than 20 schools, but has expanded to 268 schools. Officials estimate that more than 72,000 students have participated since the program's inception.

Before schools can participate in the program, instructors are trained in archery skills and safety. The program has been so popular, the DNR has trouble keeping up with demand for training and holds a class every couple of months.

For more information about the program or to schedule training, contact Krista Snodgrass at (304) 558-2771 or via e-mail at DNR.Wildlife.gov.

Fishing Report for local lakes Lower Ohio and Kanawha rivers: Fishing for sauger, walleye, white bass and hybrid striped bass in the tailwaters areas should be picking up with warming water. Concentrate fishing effort in the slack water of the lock side of the tailwater can be effective during high flows.

Guyandotte, Coal, Poca, Elk, and Mud rivers are all expected to be muddy this week.

Beech Fork Lake: The reservoir water level is at winter pool. Anglers should call the Beech Fork Corps of Engineers office at 304-525-4831 for more information. Now is the time to catch big bass as the water continues to warm up. Bass will be holding near logs or rock shelter. Channel catfish can be caught throughout the lake on chicken livers and cut-bait. Crappie fishing will also be picking up.

East Lynn Lake: The reservoir water level is at winter pool. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at (304) 8499861. Bass will be holding near logs, stumps and fish attracting brush piles.

Musky will be found near bush piles and fallen trees. Channel catfish and flatheads are abundant in the lake and can be caught with a variety of baits.

Crappie fishing should be picking up,

try around standing timber or trees that have fallen into the water. A few walleye have been caught in the lake and tailwater within the last two weeks R.D. Bailey: Fishing on the lake is OK. Some of the largest spotted bass in WV are found in R. D. Bailey Lake.

Spotted bass can be found along dropoffs and points extending into the lake at this time of the year. Good baits are

plastic jigs, live shad, or crayfish. Hybrid striped bass are also available for the hearty angler at R.D. Bailey right now. Best baits are lures such as rattletraps, spoons, or white/chartreuse jigs. Anglers may also want to try chicken livers for this hard, fighting fish. Many locals use this technique and do well. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at (304)664-9587.

Happy Easter

The Cabell Standard

Remembering the reason for the Easter season Easter is a time of celebration for Christians as it celebrates the resurrection of Jesus. Following is an account of the resurrection from the book of John as it appears in the New International Version of the Bible.

John 20 The Empty Tomb 1 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”

3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other dis-

ciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside.

He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene 11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw

Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.

15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and

cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples 19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side.

The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Jesus Appears to Thomas 24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands.

Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

The Purpose of John’s Gospel 30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 31 But these are written that you may believe[b] that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

Easter baskets are fun to make but also delicious to dive into. Did you know that mothers make an average of four baskets during the Easter season?

In fact, four out of five moms purchase candy just to fill up these baskets.

Environmentally Friendly Easter Basket Making an environmentally friendly Easter basket is even easier than you might imagine and these common materials can be found at a nearby major retail store. Start by selecting a special Easter basket considering size and the favorite colors and designs of the person who will receive this one-of-a-kind gift.

Choose a basket made of Earthfriendly products such as bamboo. Pick a filling material like straw or crinkle paper instead of plastic for the bottom of the basket. Then fill it to the brim with Easter favorites, surprise trinkets, educational toys and some of this season’s newest treats. Lastly, consider skipping the plastic wrap to cover the basket and pack basket items tightly so they do not fall out.

Among this year’s tastiest surprises is the new Nestlé Crunch Paul Frank “Julius the Bunny” made of delicious Nestlé Crunch chocolate. Consider a few jazzedup perennial hits, such as SweeT-

ious colors; cut in three-inch pieces for basket handles (optional)

ARTS Gummies, a bunny-shaped sweet twist on gummy candies, or SweeTARTS Jelly Beans, which feature that familiar sweet and tart kick in jelly-bean form.

To brighten the day of anyone you are sweet on this Easter season, try baking up some chocolate chip cookie dough into edible Easter baskets.

Chocolate Chip Easter Baskets Servings: 24 baskets Preparation time: 45 minutes Cooking time: 14 minutes Ingredients: 1 package (16.5 oz.) Nestlé Toll House Refrigerated Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough 1 cup prepared white or vanilla frosting Green food coloring 1⁄4 cup sweetened coconut flakes 1 bag of Wonka SweeTARTS, Wonka Spree Jelly Beans or Wonka Nerds Jelly Beans, Thin-string licorice in var-

Instructions: Preheat oven to 350° F. 1.

Grease and flour 24 minimuffin cups. Place one square of cookie dough into each cup.

2.

Bake for 14 to 17 minutes or until golden brown. Remove pan to wire rack. If you wish to add licorice handles, take the tip of a wooden pick and make two holes opposite each other on the top edge of the cup.

Make sure holes are the same size as the width of the licorice.

This is best done when cups are very warm. Cool cups completely in pans on wire rack. With the tip of a butter knife, remove cookie cups from muffin pans. Arrange on a serving platter.

3.

Combine frosting and a few drops of food coloring in small bowl, adding additional food coloring until desired shade is achieved.

4.

Dissolve a few drops of food coloring in 1⁄4 teaspoon water in small, resealable food storage plastic bag. Add coconut.

Seal bag and shake to evenly coat coconut with color.

5.

Spoon a small amount of frosting onto the top of each cup. Add a pinch of tinted coconut. Top the “grass” with Wonka SweeTARTS, Wonka Spree Jelly Beans or Wonka Nerds Jelly Beans. Insert ends of licorice into small holes in cups for handles.

This fun chocolate chip cookie dough basket filled with tinted coconut and topped with candy is totally edible and deliciously delightful.

Easter Egg Trivia

Nestlé Unveils NEW Springtime Sweet Treats for an Egg-ceptional Easter Season

If you lay all of the PAAS® Easter egg decorating kits sold each year end-to-end, they would reach from Miami, Florida, to Chicago, Illinois.

That’s nearly 1,400 miles!

Nestlé® Seasonal Candy includes a NEW Nestlé Crunch Paul Frank “Julius” Bunny and other Surprises to Complete Any Easter Basket or Egg Hunt

Thirteenth-century Macedonians were the first Christians known to use colored eggs in their Easter celebrations. Crusaders returning from the Middle East spread the custom of coloring eggs, and Europeans then began to use colored eggs to celebrate Easter and other holidays.

Persians first began using colored eggs to celebrate spring in 3000 B.C. On the first day of spring, they would give each other an egg dyed red.

The ancient Egyptians, the Greeks, and the Romans all used

colored eggs to celebrate spring.

Among the Chinese, parents of newborn children still present gifts of colored eggs to their friends as a sign of new life.

If you lay all of the PAAS® wire dippers end-to-end, they would equal the height of 6,628 Washington Monuments.

Laying eggs is hard work! In fact, it takes 24-26 hours to complete the process, according to research from the University of Illinois-Urbana. Even the best brood hens cannot lay more than one egg a day.

South American Ameraucana and Araucan chickens can lay eggs that are green, blue, or pinkish in color.

Entries Solicited for Quilts and Wall Hangings 2012 Juried Exhibition at the Culture Center CHARLESTON, WV – The West Virginia Division of Culture and History invites West Virginia quilters to enter the annual Quilts and Wall Hangings Juried Exhibition. This year’s exhibition will open Friday, May 25, with an awards ceremony at the annual Vandalia Gathering at the Culture Center on the State Capitol Complex. The free summer-long exhibition will be displayed through Sept. 4, 2012.

“The quilt exhibition in the Great Hall is one of our most popular and colorful exhibitions,” said Commissioner Randall Reid-Smith of the Division of Culture and History. “Visitors from around the country enjoy the fine handiwork of West Virginians whose creativity and appreciation of tradition are showcased in the quilts and wall hangings we feature.”

Linda McCuean, an awardwinning long arm quilter and instructor from New Galilee,

Pa., will be the juror for this year’s exhibition. McCuean learned to sew at age 9 in a 4-H Club and has been making quilts for more than 30 years.

She also will lead a workshop on wholecloth quilting at the Culture Center from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Friday, May 4. A whole cloth quilt is a quilt created from one single piece of very wide fabric. Unlike a patchwork quilt, a wholecloth quilt is not pieced and the design created across the surface is made entirely from quilting stitches.

Quilts, handmade or machine made, by West Virginia residents are eligible for the exhibition. Quilts and wall hangings shown previously in a Division of Culture and History Quilts and Wall Hangings juried exhibition are not eligible.

Awards are presented for first- ($750), second- ($400) and third-place ($300) in the follow-

ing categories: pieced quilts, appliquéd quilts, and quilts made with mixed/other techniques. Wall hangings will receive $400 for first-place, $300 for second-place and $200 for third place. In addition, a Best of Show prize of $100 may be awarded by the juror. Honorable mention or other nonmonetary awards are given at the discretion of the judge. The Division of Culture and History will provide two Purchase Awards and add the purchased quilt and wall hanging to the collection of the West Virginia State Museum. Quilters may sell their quilts during the exhibition, however the quilt may not be removed until the close of the show.

This year, entries must be shipped or mailed no earlier than April 2 and must arrive at the Culture Center no later than April 25, 2012. Hand-delivered entries will be accepted be-

tween 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., on April 19-20. Each entrant may submit one quilt and one wall hanging, which must be accompanied by a non-refundable fee of $20 for each entry.

The workshop is limited to 20 participants. There is a $20 fee per person and registration is required. Contact Betty Gay, exhibits coordinator for the Division, at (304) 558-0220, ext. 128, to register for the workshop and to receive a supply list.

McCuean offers this advice to quilters who are entering the exhibition, “If you want to catch the judge’s eye with your quilting, use original designs and be sure to include some variety in each quilt. You don’t have to be an artist to draw your own motif. Borrow a design from the appliqué or pieced designs of the quilts, maybe even from the print of the fabric! Be creative! Have fun with your quilting!”

Guidelines, applications and more information about eligibility, jurying and shipping are available on the Division’s website and can be downloaded at www.wvculture.org, or by calling Gay to have an application mailed.
