War on Drugs hits Home By Justin Waybright
50 Cents
A Path Less Traveled
justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON -Within a two-mile radius of city hall, people walk alleys and side streets with two things on their minds: drugs and money. These criminals conduct business 24-hours-day, 365-days-ayear. For many dealers, their home is their office. Used needles, remnants of meth labs, pill residue and empty alcohol bottles litter their tables and floors. Their phones ring off the hook, and drug deals take place throughout the city. Pieces of brown plywood hang on windows and doors of three buildings, only yards apart from one another. The aftermath of meth labs contaminates the inside of the rooms. They are ruined. These three buildings stand to remind Milton Police officers that they are in the middle of something threatening to tarnish the city’s reputation: the never-ending war on drugs. It’s a business of give-and-take, and the consequences are life threatening. One wrong move or mere word can lead to prison, hospitalization and death. Recently, one man almost died after abusing a powerful painkiller. On Oct. 10, just seconds from Main St., James Lee Dailey suffered 3rd degree burns on more than 30 percent of his body after allegedly injecting Fentanyl. Three children were present at the time. One was six-years-old. EMS responders arrived at 1:20 p.m., at a residence on 38 Damon Ave., to find 35-year-old Dailey clinging to life. SEE DRUGS ON PAGE 10

BARBOURSVILLE - Through the cold, wintery air, along the wealthy avenues of this thriving village, a man stands alone. Behind businesses, through alleyways and on street corners, this meager man roams. The sidewalks of U.S. Route 60 are his home. Drivers pass by a scraggly bearded man, pushing an overworked bicycle and a rickety buggy full of clothes, food and basic necessities. A tired hat with an American Flag on it covers the man’s grey hair. More than 20 tattered Kroger bags, full of collected items, hang onto the handlebars of his aging transportation.
Dave Norton stands in front of his life. Everything he owns is behind him, piled into plastic bags, stuffed into a buggy and hanging from his bicycle. He has nothing, but on the inside, he feels rich. This Barboursville wanderer is out to prove that he can make it without materialistic necessities. Photo by Justin Waybright. His frost-nipped fingers reach into a withered shirt
pocket and pull out a tiny book that is wrinkled and faded by
time. He holds the worn New Testament to his heart tightly. “This is my treasure,” he says with tears flooding his eyes. Some men and women stop to give him money. Others pass by him. To most people, this way of life is incomprehensible, but to Dave Norton, it’s all he knows. The former Navy veteran and Kenova resident did not always live like this. In 2004, Norton suffered a heart attack that nearly took his life. His weight, vision and memory are still damaged from it. He was in and out of the hospital constantly. Unpaid medical bills still linger, but Norton remains positive. SEE PATH ON PAGE 4
Cabell Midland falls short of state championship, 38-14 By Bishop Nash For The Cabell Standard
WHEELING- Cabell Midland's first shot at a state title ended sullenly on Wheeling Island Saturday afternoon as the Knights fell to the now threetime Class-AAA state champion Martinsburg Bulldogs. Midland was backed into a deep hole early and struggled throughout the contest to gain a grip. “We didn't come out good early and we made some mistakes,” Cabell Midland head coach Luke Salmons said. “You can't do that against them. They're a great, great football team.” The Knights struggled to contained the potent Bulldogs on both sides of the ball. The
Knights Lowell Farley (32) has just completed a 68 yard run to set up the Knights 1st score of the game. David Gaydoez (2) goes in from the 1 yard line. Leading the way is Knights OT Josh Baisden. Molina kick, Gaydoez hold, score Midland 7, Martinsburg 21, 2nd quarter, 9:08. Photo by Jim Parsons defense gave up a season-high
425 yards while the offense
produced a season-low 247 total yards. The rushing tandem of David Gaydosz and Lowell Farley accounted for the vast majority of those yards, each racking up over 100 yards in the contest. “That's the best team we've played all year by far,” Gaydosz said. “They have so many athletes and they're wellcoached.” Martinsburg quarterback Cookie Clinton threw two touchdowns in the and rushed for another on his way to becoming Class-AAA championship MVP. Ohio Bobcat committee Cedric Brown caught both of Clinton's passes and finished with 74 receiving yards on four catches. SEE MIDLAND ON PAGE 16

Donald McCroskey honored with Heritage Award SUBMITTED ARTICLE LAS VEGAS, NV - On November 26th at the International Association of Fairs and Expositions (IAFE) 122nd Annual Convention, Donald McCroskey of the Cabell County Fair and West Virginia Pumpkin Festival, Milton, W.Va., was one of five volunteers presented with the Heritage Award, sponsored by Haas & Wilkerson Insurance, according the IAFE President and CEO Jim Tucker. The convention took place Nov. 25-29, at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nev. Carol Porter of Haas & Wilkerson Insurance announced and presented the awards to the recipients, who were nominated by people associated with their fairs. Each winner received a plaque and $1,000, and each fair nominating the winners received $500. The nominees were required to have at least 10 years of fair management experience and could receive no more than $2,500 remuneration annually
for serving in the position. The nominees’ fairs were also required to be current members of IAFE. McCroskey began his career in the fair industry in 1988 as a board member of the Cabell County Fair. He retired as a computer systems analyst from International Nickel Company in 1993. That year, he became president of the Cabell County Fair and served in that position until 2007. During that time, he became a board member for the West Virginia Pumpkin Festival in Milton. In 2010, McCroskey began serving as assistant treasurer of the festival. He has been involved in all aspects of the Cabell County Fair and the West Virginia Pumpkin Festival, including managing the fair, scheduling, contracts, promotion, and involvement in the construction of the facilities in WV Pumpkin Park. “A manager must work with members to establish reason-
able goals, then develop plans to accomplish them. A manager must be able to delegate and allow people to do the job,” McCroskey said referring to his management philosophy. McCroskey has attended two IAFE Conventions and five IAFE Zone 2 Meetings. He has attended every West Virginia Association of Fairs and Festivals meeting since 1993 and is a frequent program participant. The Cabell County Commission appointed McCroskey to the County Planning Commission where he represents the commission on multiple Conservation & Development Councils. He has served as a deacon at his church for the past 50 years and assisted in the construction of add-on Sunday school rooms, a parsonage, and a fellowship/gymnasium building. McCroskey currently serves as a four-time elected Commissioner to the Greater Huntington Parks & Recreation District.

Governor Tomblin announces Available Slots for the Aged and Disabled Waiver Program Program provides long-term care alternative to W.Va. families CHARLESTON - Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin recently announced slots are available for additional West Virginians to receive Aged and Disabled Waiver Services. The governor has directed the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources (DHHR) to move 120 West Virginians from the managed en-
rollment list to fill these vacant positions for the upcoming year. The positions became available due to members who left the program at some point during state fiscal year 2012 due to death, moving out of state or to a nursing facility, or for other reasons. The federal Center for Medicaid Services rules require
slots not be re-filled until the next fiscal year. "The Aged and Disabled Waiver program allows those enrolled to receive traditional Medicaid services in addition to other in-home services designed to allow recipients to stay in their homes longer-which is a blessing for all," said Gov. Tomblin.
83.05 percent to 72.62 percent and a five percent increase in the average cost per person receiving waiver services. The match rate determines the amount of federal and state money contributed to the program. As a result of last year's freeze, a managed enrollment list was created.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 for the children. Each year, the Renaissance program seeks to imprint a memory in the children of overwhelming holiday joy brought by a community of caring people who give generously. Please help by dropping off a new toy (or monetary donation) to the Pinecrest location at 5600 US Route Sixty East in Huntington WV (25705). Prestera Center is a charitable non-profit organization. The front desk will accept toys and donations between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday – Friday and after hours or on weekends, toys and donations can be dropped off at the afterhours entrance located off the building’s west side gravel
DHHR announced a freeze on enrollment in the Aged and Disabled Waiver program last year. This move was made to maintain the current level of services for individuals already enrolled in the program. Factors that contributed to last year's decision included a drop in the federal match rate from
parking lot next to the loading dock. For additional information, please contact Sharon Shaw at (304) 525-7851, Extension 4510. Help us help the children remember the year that Santa cared about them!

You are the people who make this column possible, and we appreciate you. I know we are entering into an extremely busy time of the year, with the holidays right around the corner. I would love to see some holiday poems come in for the next column. It doesn’t matter what holiday you celebrate Christmas, Hanukah, Yule or something else, it would be a pleasure to read your poems. Of course we have months of winter waiting around the corner for us and winter poems will be accepted for the next several months.

Harmes-Kurth at 1042 Pike St., Milton, WV 25541, or email them to cabellputmanpoetry@hotmail.com. ***** Winter In Summertime I shouldn’t be here. Sad talk on the phone, and I shouldn’t linger Too many memories makes the familiar grass and clover
under my feet bittersweet.
Beautiful in there, but there’s a chain link fence that won’t let me in.
Laura Adkins,WV ***** Chocolate Moments A sudden urge comes upon me, I need some chocolate! The dark elixir so sweet to senses. The aroma, taste I crave And smack my lips to savor. Elixir of the gods— Creative liquor of daily dancing, Diminishes cares of the day As the syrup hardens around me Like a block of ecstasy surrounds. Every bite chock-full of perks A daily delicious decadent delight, Cherished chewy morsels in cookies Or hot brew of nurturing. It may be true I am addicted, Anything chocolate is not restricted! If you want to make me happy Give me my palate’s passion, No brouhaha about it Just anything chocolate! To taste, to sip, to soothe, to obliterate Whatever negative happens today! Floriana Hall, Ohio *Please note, Rod Sargent’s poem in the last column ‘morrow was misspelled.
While speaking to Norton, it is clear that he is oblivious to the way he lives. Bills, money, jobs and family do not dictate his actions. He is empty-handed, but full on the inside. This avid fisherman may lack all material possession, but what he does not lack is love. The lowly nomad carries with him a savings account, full of good deeds. He is rich when he serves others, he explained. “I try to be a helpful person, and I’m not worried about getting the help back,” Norton
said. “I try to be nice to everyone, even if I don’t know them.” He described one such situation near the main road, where he saw a woman pushing a pickup truck. The vehicle had run out of gas. Norton helped move the stalled truck off the busy road. “A lady should never have to push a truck like that,” he said. Norton also regularly cleans and organizes local businesses and grocery stores. When asked why he does so much for others and not for himself, he simply replies, “Because I love to help people.”
Same house, same yard, but totally alien. Same old maple trees, same old field, but changed into something it’s not. New developments, new concrete and metal and hard wires replace my old running grounds. Used to take me an hour to clamor through that thicket, just to see if I could reach the monstrous Sycamore. Now it’s easy, just step over the short grass, one foot in front of the other. Too easy. No Sycamore there now, just a metal pole covered in fecal matter from the birds. Alien. Bittersweet. At least the Red-winged Blackbirds have a home in the swampy remains of the creek.
PATH FROM PAGE 1 This seasoned wanderer has something to prove. “I want to do this right now to show people that this old man can live on the streets,” he said. In the past, Norton spent some short stints in local VA homes and city missions, but the residents at those locations discouraged him. “At one of the city missions, they talked about crimes they committed…One even stole my wallet,” he said. That’s when he left. He became a loner in Barboursville, making friends with those he could help.

Cabell Midland to host Annual Madrigal Dinner and Show
Tuesday,December 4,2012 – Page 5
Christin’s Corner By Christin Daugherty
By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
ONA - The Cabell Midland High School Collegium Musicum will host its 19th Annual Christmas Madrigal Dinner and Show at 6:30 p.m., Dec. 7 and 8. Director Ed Harkless is excited about this year’s event. “There is uniqueness in this particular event,” Harkless said. “It has a niche all its own.” The evening will offer food, a concert and a play. Last June, students began writing the scripts for this winter play, he said. Aside from enjoying student performances, guests will be served wassail, baked ham, green beans, baked potatoes, rolls, coleslaw and dessert. The inspiration for this Renaissance-style event was birthed more than 30 years ago when Harkless attended a madrigal dinner at the Enslow Presbyterian Church. “I thoroughly enjoyed it,” he said. “Aside from Fairmont, there weren’t any others in West Virginia at the time, and I thought this would be something fun for us to do.” Harkless described the history behind the event. He said “In Medieval times, the king would open

His group of students aims to be stylistically appropriate and historically accurate. “We want to appeal to the eye, ear and pallet,” he said. The cost to attend is $15 per person. Audience members will
enjoy the sit-down dinner, play and concert. Tickets can be purchased through www.cmhscollegiummusicum.org, the school or at the door, before the show starts (if there are still seats available). Money raised from this event will help fund the Cabell Midland Collegium Musicum’s annual spring trip. For questions or donations, call Harkless at (304)743-7100 or email at tharkles@access.k12.wv.us.

will be held Saturday, June 15, 2013. River Sweep is a one-day cleanup project for the Ohio River and its tributaries. The Sweep covers nearly 3,000 miles of shoreline from Pittsburgh, PA, to Cairo, IL, and averages more than 20,000 volunteers a year. Trash collected during the Sweep has included cars, tires, furniture, toys, a piano, and a variety of other items. All trash collected is either recycled or placed in approved landfills. River Sweep is held to create an awareness of water quality problems caused by litter and illegal dumping. The poster contest, held in conjunction with River Sweep, is one way to spread the word about litter prevention. Posters submitted for the contest should reflect this goal and focus on encouraging volunteer participation. DEAD-
LINE for the River Sweep Poster Contest is December 14, 2012. River Sweep is sponsored by the Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission (ORSANCO). ORSANCO is the water pollution control agency for the Ohio River and its tributaries. Other agencies participating in the River Sweep include Illinois EPA, Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet, Kentucky River Authority, and West Virginia Make It Shine Program. Voluntary contributions from industries provide major funding for the Sweep. For further information about the River Sweep Poster Contest, or for complete contest rules and regulations, contact Jeanne Ison or Lisa Cochran at 1-800-3593977, or visit the Commission’s website at www.orsanco.org.

I am pregnant with my first child and due in April. I have never been happier in my life and cannot wait to meet my son. However, the baby’s father denies that the baby is his and has not contacted me since I found out I was pregnant. I’m ok with doing this alone, but for some reason it is driving me crazy that I haven’t talked to him. I just want to see where he stands and talk to him in person. Do you think I should continue to try to contact him, or should I just give up? Sincerely, Baby Momma Drama Dear Mama, Sounds like a tough one girl! The first thing I want to tell you is to stay strong. Remember that you are stronger than any obstacle in life that you may face. Okay, now on to the baby daddy. I have known several women that have been in similar situations. And I can tell you for a fact that your feelings are perfectly normal. The act of trying to make sure that your baby’s father is a part of your son’s life is a natural, maternal instinct. However, and this may come as a shock, but out of all of your motherly responsibilities, this is not one of them. If a man wants to be a father he will. If he doesn’t, he won’t. Simple as that. And no matter how hard you try, there is nothing you can do to change that. I do understand how you feel though. I felt a similar way when I was pregnant. The father and I were split up for awhile and he was living in another state (with a new girlfriend). I was beside myself. You want your baby to be the happiest baby in the world, not wondering why their father isn’t there. The situation eventually worked itself out, and he moved back to WV and has been there for our daughter ever since. Unfortunately, I realize that it doesn’t work out that way for
everyone. I say, do what you feel is right. If you feel as though you cannot be at peace until you talk to him, then you should. If he accepts his responsibility - great! If not, then that is his loss and you should no longer concern yourself. You already have a son to raise, and there is no use wasting your energy on a full-grown man, now is there? The best thing you can do for your baby is to shower him with all the love you have to give. Surround yourself with family and friends, and give him the kind of life where he doesn’t feel like anything is missing. The truth of the matter is he probably won’t be missing out on much anyway. Any man who wants nothing to do with his own child, not only doesn’t deserve one, but also probably doesn’t have anything to offer as a parent anyway. If you’re like me then you probably know plenty of people, both men and women, who are raising kids but have no business doing so. And then there are people like you and I, Momma. We are strong, independent mommies who would do anything for our kids. I am confident that as long as you do your best to ensure that your child feels loved and secure, you will succeed. Life as you know it is about to change. Make the most of your new start. “The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” - Rajneesh I want to hear from YOU!

WeeklyDevotional Barboursville Lions Club By Mary Jane “DECEMBER’S SONGS” Thought for the week: Sing unto him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise. PSALM 33; 3 (KJV) And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God; many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord. PSALM 40; 3 (KJV) The traditional songs of Christmas begin playing, soon as the Halloween season, has ended. Merchants rush past the thanksgiving season right into Christmas season. I was employed many years in retail and realize this is the profits gain for year, but I think I’m stuck on this time warp again - yesterdays - Christmas was long awaited for, looking forward to caroling, baking, special gifts picked with time for the intended person… time for decorating, and cards, which now with a stamp increase each year, not as many exchanged among friends, with e-mail a card is sent with no personal touch and family parties are less and less. God’s church is where you can still find the time for Christmas, time for friends, time to listen to music, caroling, dinners and all that celebrates the birth of Jesus. You are missing a blessing, while socializing with friends, if you are not attending a church and enjoying all these activities, to communicate, sit with others, reminiscence of the Christmas pasts. As Martha Stewart (the crafting queen) says IT’S A GOOD THING! To once again read the same old story about JESUS and his birth, but it is also a reminder why we give thanks all 365 days of the year, why GOD sent him in the first place. December’s songs of any type always bring back a memory of some kind to each of us. Maybe since this is the winding down of another year that is why the month of December seems sentimental and tugs at our hearts more than other months. Start this December; attend a church of your choice, make it a habit of attending every Sunday then your new year will be more enjoyable. And I pray for snow too, it’s not Christmas without a big snow that makes the season merry. You know, to me, rain is Gods tear drops, when He is saddened. Snow, is His breath of cold frosty air, He blows over His world in winter to purify and make ready another season. Making it all well with the world. Prayer: Thank you again father, for the coming holidays to honor the birth of your Son and may all enjoy the blessings in store. Amen.

Residents Learn to Prune Trees
Tuesday,December 4,2012 – Page 7
Velma’s View
By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON—On Thursday afternoon, November 29, a small group of people learned hands-on, how to prune fruit trees. The chilly day did not stop branches from falling, as men and women used loppers and small saws to shape an apple orchard off 18 Mile Creek Road, in Mason County. Saw dust flew while West Virginia State University (WVSU) Agriculture Program and Natural Resource Leader Scott Byars showed the group the proper way to trim a tree for maximum fruit yield. “Trees need pruning when branches crisscross and touch each other,” Byars said. “We trim them so they aren’t competing for sunshine.” Participants learned where to start trimming, and when and how to trim. Limbs that grow either upward or toward the center of the tree trunk should be cut.
By Velma Kitchens Precious Memories
Cabell County residents learned how to properly trim fruit trees. The West Virginia State University (WVSU) Agriculture and Natural Resources Program hosted the workshop Nov. 29, at Tom Well’s farm in Mason County. Photo by Justin Waybright. Also, small limbs toward the end of branches that cause extra weight on the tree should be trimmed. “We should strive to only leave behind what will produce fruit,” he said. This event was one of many workshops that the WVSU Agriculture and Natural Resource pro-
gram hosts. The next event is a wreath-making workshop from 10 a.m. to noon and 4 to 7 p.m., Dec. 4, and 10 a.m. to noon. Dec. 5 at the Milton Pumpkin Park. This workshop costs $25, which includes all materials and decorations needed to create unique holiday touches to participants’ homes.
Back when I was young, I would hear the song Precious Memories and just could not stand to hear the song. Precious memories how they linger. Well, when you are young, what kind of precious memories could you have? My Mom has always liked the song. While raising children, doing all the mundane things in life we have to do while we are young. We do take a lot of things in stride, and sometimes within ourselves we wish for the days as they were when we were alone and carefree. Children are a blessing from God and I am glad I am a mother. There was a time when I thought I didn’t want children, but after having them, you learn to like them. (HaHa). You get pregnant, nine months later you give birth and that is the only thing to do. Now that I am older and kids are grown, the memories I have are precious. The times we spent with them through the good days, the sick days and the up-all-night days. They certainly are precious memories and how they linger and how they ever flood my soul in the stillness of the midnight. Precious sacred scenes unfold. Sometimes in the middle of the night, we wake up and all is quiet. We don’t hear the sound of crying for us to get up. It really is stillness. The songwriter knew about the precious memories we all carry in our hearts and souls. For all of you young Moms and Dads, it does get better and when your kids are grown, you will understand the words to this song.
Texas Law Firm, Murray LLP, agrees to End its Controversial Services to 5,222 West Virginia Families Who Lost Homes Through Wrongful Foreclosures AG McGraw’s Suit Against Murray’s www.bringaclaim.com Settled CHARLESTON - Attorney General Darrell McGraw recently announced that Murray LLP, a Texas law firm, agreed to permanently discontinue offering a service to West Virginia foreclosure victims that a lawsuit filed by McGraw’s office characterized as unscrupulous and deceptive. The agreement with Murray is reflected in a final order recently entered on November 1, 2012 in the Circuit Court of Jefferson County that settles the suit filed against Murray. The suit alleged that Murray, through its website, www.bringaclaim.com, sought to charge con-
sumers a fee of 20% to assist them in processing a claim for benefits they were already guaranteed to receive under the National Mortgage Settlement (NMS), reached earlier this year by the federal government and 49 state attorneys general with the nation’s five largest mortgage loan servicers. The only requirement to receive the NMS payment, estimated to be $1,500 to $2,000, is completion of a simple one-page form that was mailed directly to all eligible persons. Attorney General McGraw’s suit alleged that Murray attempted to wrong-
fully profit from this process by leading consumers to believe that its services were necessary to obtain the money when, in fact, the claims process was intended to be simple and free. In the final order entered by the court, Murray agreed that it would not represent or collect payments from West Virginia consumers in relation to the NMS claims process or any other non- litigation foreclosure services. Murray also agreed to place a notice on its website, www.bringaclaim.com, advising that its services are not available in West Virginia.
Attorney General McGraw stated, “I am pleased that we promptly achieved our objective, which was to prohibit Murray from charging West Virginia consumers who lost their homes to foreclosure a fee for a benefit that was intended to be free. Any consumers who have questions or need assistance about how to file their claim under the NMS are encouraged to call my office, where they will be assisted without charge.”” In addition to the direct payments to consumers who lost homes to foreclosure, the NMS agreement also required the
banks to establish new mortgage servicing standards that promise more protection for consumers. Although the new servicing standards are only binding on the five banks who signed the NMS, Bank of America, Citi, GMAC/Ally, JP Morgan and Wells Fargo, it is expected that the standards will serve as a model that will likely be adopted by the entire industry. To report a scam or consumer fraud or to file a complaint, West Virginians can reach the Attorney General’s Office by calling the Consumer Protection Hotline at 1-800-368-8808 or visiting wvago.gov online.

From Field to Freezer
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
A couple of years ago, I thought I had forever had my fill of butchering deer. It all started with a phone call around 6 p.m. and the question “Do you want a deer?” I've got a family of four to feed.
Thus, when somebody asks me “Do you want a deer?” it's a question that doesn't really need asked. It was warm that year, too warm to hang a deer and I had to cut it up right away. I didn't have any help available and it took me a couple of hours just to get the deer hung up in the tree. Eventually, I got it skinned, butchered it in the light of a flashlight, packaged the meat and put it in the freezer. When I finished butchering, it was 4 a.m. I took a nap, woke up at 6 a.m. and was in the woods at 7 a.m. Fifteen minutes later, I shot a buck. A couple hours later, I had another deer in the tree and finished butchering it sometime that afternoon. Then the phone rang again and I had a third deer. It was still too warm to leave a deer hanging, so I butchered it immediately and finished sometime that night.
By this time, I had already been completely exhausted for some time. I finally got some sleep, but the next morning, the phone rang again and I had a fourth deer to butcher with haste. Not long after, I got another call. For the first time in my life, I said “No thank you. I do not want another deer.” I'm not complaining, mind you. We ate almost nothing but venison until the following spring, but I did swear that I had butchered my last deer and I didn't change my mind until I had a doe in the bed of my pickup. This year was a little different. My 11-year-old son, David II, was old enough to be of actual help. While the deer was lifted in the tree with one rope pulled with my truck, little David kept slack out of the second rope (the idea of the second rope is that it holds the deer while the main rope is untied from the truck). Mostly, he
watched and learned. It's a good feeling to see your son do that on his own. When you shoot a deer, you have four options, pay somebody to cut it up (around $60), cut it up yourself, give it to someone you know or give it to Hunters Helping the Hungry, which distributes ground venison to food banks for the needy. To donate a deer to Hunters Helping the Hungry, you have to take it to a participating processor. You would think that “participating processor” would be somebody willing to take whatever chump change the government is willing to pay, but that's not the case. I did a cost analysis study once on the program and what it paid for processing and reached the conclusion that it was about what everybody else pays for processing. The problem is, there are very few processors around the state.
The number of processors are so few for one specific, deliberate reason: to control the number of deer the program can accept, because if too many deer are donated, the program will not be able to pay for the processing. Stop and think about that. Here is a program that can provide nutritious protein to the needy for about a dollar a pound or so. When you buy your licenses or stamps online – I'm not sure if you can do it at a license agent or not – there is an option to donate to Hunters Helping the Hungry. The program, which gets no taxpayer funding, is always in sore need of cash, despite the fact it has more bang for the buck – pun intended – of any charity I can imagine. For more information, or to find a participating processor, call (304) 558-2771 or visit www.wvdnr.gov.
Outdoors Roundup Archery in the Schools Instructor Training Slated The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources Wildlife Resources Section will hold its next instructor training for the Archery in the Schools Program Jan. 29 and 30 at Charleston First Church of the Nazarene. The program is the DNR's largest and most successful education program.

The program teaches Olympicstyle, target archery in both public and private schools Grades four through 12.
Schools interested in starting an archery program must first have a certified instructor. There are only four training sessions a year and class size is limited to 25. To ensure a training slot, anyone interested in getting a school involved in the program is encouraged to apply as soon as possible, before the January 2 deadline. The training costs $25 for all school employees and $50 for non-school employees. To register for the AIS training, call Krista Snodgrass at (304) 5582771. For more information, visit www.wvdnr.gov/archery. Some West Virginia deer hunting facts: The West Virginia firearm buck
gun season is Nov. 19 – Dec. 1. It is open in all counties except Logan, Mingo, McDowell and Wyoming. Approximately 330,000 licensed hunters will be in West Virginia’s woods during this season. Deer hunters spend an estimated $230 million in West Virginia, much of it in the rural areas of the state that depend upon the deer seasons for a large portion of their annual income. In 2011, deer hunters in West Virginia harvested 60,157 bucks during the two-week buck season, an increase of 38 percent from the 2010 harvest. This is two percent less than the five-year average harvest of 61,428 and ranks 24th among all past years. Sunday hunting is legal in the following 14 counties on private land only: Boone, Brooke, Clay, Hancock, Jefferson, Lincoln, Logan, McDowell, Marshall, Mingo, Ohio, Wayne, Wetzel and Wyoming. The only Sunday that is open in these counties during the buck season is November 25. Hunters are reminded that deer gun seasons are closed in Logan, Mingo,
McDowell and Wyoming counties. Hunting licenses may be purchased online at any time and printed out on a home computer printer. Go to the goWILD! Web site at www.wvhunt.com, fill out the application, and purchase it over a secure server with a credit card. Hunters who wish to donate deer meat or dollars to the Hunters Helping the Hungry program, which distributes deer meat through the Mountaineer Food Bank and the Huntington Food Bank, should call 304-5582771 or visit the DNR website at www.wvdnr.gov to find a participating meat processor. Holly River State Park finally has phone service restored, still in dark Like many West Virginia state park, Holly River State Park took quite a beating from the Hurricane Sandy blizzard in October. Phone service was finally restored this week, although utility service has yet to be restored. Electric service at Holly River has been interrupted since October 29, when the area was hit by the storm.
Although utility service into the main park has not been restored, one state-owned building located in a separate area of the park has restored service. Part of this building will be converted into a temporary office and information center to serve the public. Park staff has moved the office computer, reservation books, a phone, and other office needs to create a temporary office to serve park patrons, take reservations and answer questions. “We have been overwhelmed with emails and calls of concern for Holly River and the employees there,” said Brad Reed, district administrator for West Virginia State Parks. “We are very pleased to get our general services up and running again and to be able to provide service and communication to our park guests.” The temporary phone number until the main park office has full power restoration is 304-4936559. The office operating hours will be Monday – Friday, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. The email to contact Holly River is hollyriversp@wv.gov.

DRUGS FROM PAGE 1 The police report states, “The defendant’s girlfriend smelled smoke in the bathroom. She then kicked in the door to get the defendant and observed him lying face down on the floor with smoke coming out from below him. She then flipped him over, ripped off his clothes, and poured water on him to put out the fire.” Milton Patrolman D.T. Bishop was one of the first on the scene. “He had severe burns, and he stopped breathing several times,” Bishop said. “He was in critical condition.” Upon entering the mobile home, Bishop observed several burned pieces of clothing, 2 bottles of Isopropyl Alcohol and an opened bottle of Vitamin C sitting on the counter, the police report stated. The officer also“discovered three syringes in a purse that was located on top of a towel rack, and 2 spoons containing a white powdery substance with char marks on the bottom side, underneath the sink,” according to the police report. An ambulance rushed Dailey to Cabell-Huntington Hospital where he stayed until Nov. 26. That afternoon Milton Police officers waited outside hospital doors for his release. They arrested him and charged him with two counts of wanton endangerment and three counts of child endangerment. Milton Police then transported him to Cabell County Magistrate
Milton Police Officer D.T. Bishop stands in front of a key location where many drug arrests have been made this year. Bishop and the Milton Police Department are committed to stopping dealers in their tracks. Dan Goheen’s office, where he was arraigned. As of Friday, Dailey was incarcerated at the Western Regional Jail. He was listed as a pre-trial felon with bail set at $100,000, according to booking records. A Child Protective Services (CPS) investigation is pending. Dailey was arrested during the day, but much of the drug dealing in Milton occurs at night, officers said. Many dealers try to stay secretive, and work in the dark. These vampires of the streets walk along Dailey Drive, Hickory Way, Mason Street and any alley they choose. These lawless men and women keep Milton Police Officers busy. “Most of the drug activity is found near the center of town,” said Milton Police Chief Gary Lilly.
“If we catch it, we’ll bust it.” Many dealers come from homes and buildings to trade drugs in alleys and street corners near Milton City Hall, April Dawn Park and Milton Manor. Mayor Tom Canterbury addressed the issue during the Nov. 20 Milton City Council Meeting. “We’re not giving up,” Canterbury said. A resident in the audience spoke up, “I’m not giving up either.” Lilly agreed with the Canterbury’s comment. “We are working very hard, and we are not letting up,” the police chief said. “The majority of people in Milton’s eyes are open now.” Another concerned resident said, “I don’t want to lose police presence.” Canterbury explained,“We have
Milton Police and State Fire Marshal Tim Chestain escort James Lee Dailey to the Cabell County Magistrate’s Office, where he was arraigned and charged with three counts of child endangerment and two counts of wanton endangerment, stemming from an incident in October involving drug abuse that burned 30 percent of his body. Dailey is incarcerated at the Western Regional Jail, pending a $100,000 bond and a preliminary hearing.

Lilly is confident that his officers are fighting this local war successfully. Police cruisers are seen patrolling the ins and outs of the city’s problem locations, both day and night. “We’re putting the heat on them,” the police chief said. “We’re on the road as much as we can.” Another weapon officers use in combating the drug trade is early
education. Officers travel to local schools and talk to students about the dangers of drugs. Recently, his department spoke to children at Milton Middle School. Children are his first priority for safety, and Lilly believes efforts like this help, but is still not enough to make a dent. The 19-year-veteran police officer believes prevention must start at home. “Parents need to keep their eyes on their children and who they’re with,” he said. “Parents and education is where this must start.” The Milton Police Chief wishes to send a message to all local drug dealers and users: “If we catch it, we’ll bust it…We’re waging a war against drugs, and we will not quit…If you’re a drug dealer: you will be arrested.”

Photo by Jim Parsons “We can't be down on ourselves,” Farley said. “We're just a bunch of rednecks out here playing with some D-1 college football players.” For a team that made a season of blowing opponents out of the water, Martinsburg was simply overpowering. “We did what we could,” Farley added. Martinsburg had scored three times before Midland could mount an answer. Brown caught touchdown passes from 7 and 30 yards out while run-
