MILTON – Nationally, officers have made a dent in the drug trade. Locally, officers are striving to make a hole in it.

The police department will soon have two new weapons in the drug war: a new officer and a new ordinance.

Milton Patrolman K. O’Dell has spearheaded an effort, aimed at stiffening penalties on drug paraphernalia possession.

Barboursville: Past, Present…Future

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

BARBOURSVILLE - From civil war soldiers marching down streets, to students walking into Morris Harvey College, this village has written a history that helped propel it toward the future.

Barboursville turned 200 on January 14. Two centuries of history are alive and well in this once county seat and thriving industrial hub.

A lot has changed since 1813, but sights and memories of an earlier age endure.

Civil War-era buildings stand firm on Main Street. Houses built in the 1800s remain throughout the city. The James River-Kanawha Turnpike Toll House, built in 1837 is still here.

Mayor Paul Turman took office 11 years ago. The village’s past continues to inspire him to push his village toward the future.

“I am glad to be able to move forward with the nostalgia and think ahead for the future,” said Turman.

During the past decade, Bar-

boursville has seen a new 700acre park, a state soccer tournament, growth of the mall, a new $1.6 million railroad bridge and new schools.

The soccer field has been a big step forward for this city, said Turman.

“It’s been positive for this community,” he said. “In 2009, more than 16,000 people came, and these people remember West Virginia in a positive way.”

Events like this help thrust local economy, Turman said.

When the mayor looks forward, he sees upgrades, improvements and prosperity for Barboursville.

Turman sees another big soccer tournament in 2015. Also, he sees a new recreational facility for seniors, new basketball courts and a fitness center for the community.

The future is bright for Barboursville. It includes the sale of SEE BARBOURSVILLE ON PAGE 4 This Village celebrated its 200th birthday on January 14th. Although much has changed in the past two centuries, much of the history is still alive. Photo by Justin Waybright.

Milton Doctor sentenced to two years in Federal Prison on Prescription Drug Charges STAFF REPORT HUNTINGTON - A Milton doctor has been sentenced to two years in prison for violating federal drug control laws.

Dr. Anita Dawson, 55, of Milton, previously pleaded guilty in July, 2012, to aiding and abetting the illegal acquisition of prescription drugs by misrepresentation, fraud, forgery, deception and subterfuge.

The sentence handed down

Monday, Jan. 7, is four times the maximum sentence recommended under federal sentencing guidelines, which called for a sentence of zero to six months.

Dawson admitted that from July 2006 until May 21, 2009, she wrote prescriptions for addictive pain medications to an individual identified by the initials E.B. Dawson admitted she prescribed a total of nearly 6,000 pills containing oxycodone and more

than 220 pills for the painkiller Endocet. Dawson further admitted that at the time she wrote the prescriptions for E.B., she knew that the patient was seeking pain medication for an addiction and other inappropriate reasons.

Dawson and E.B. entered into a pain management agreement that required the patient to submit to drug tests and pill counts.

Despite E.B.’s repeated violations of the pain management agree-

ment, Dawson admitted she continued to prescribe pain medication.

At last Monday’s sentencing hearing, United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers heard from family members of three people killed in 2009 when their vehicle was hit by another vehicle driven by a patient of DawSEE DOCTOR ON PAGE 5

The American Lung Association Urges You to Stay Healthy This Harsh Flu Season Flu season is harsher this year than previous years. The American Lung Association of the MidAtlantic urges everyone to take healthy steps to weather the flu season.

Vaccination is safe and effective and the best way to help preInfluenza vent influenza.

vaccine options are available for children, adults and seniors.

Parents of young children should know that children 6 months through 8 years of age receiving a flu shot for the first time need two doses of vaccine, approximately one month apart, for optimal protection.

Along with getting vaccinated, warding off influenza is as simple as washing your hands.

Germ control during flu season is crucial to keeping yourself healthy. During flu season make sure that you: • Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or

sneeze. This will block the spread of droplets from your mouth or nose that could contain germs.

• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.

• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread

this way.

• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

Visit www.facesofinfluenza.org for more information about influenza and immunization and keep yourself healthy this flu season.

Manchin to lead National Organization promoting Country Over Party Politics WASHINGTON, D.C. – In an effort to bring more Americans together around commonsense solutions, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has agreed to lead No Labels, a national citizen-led effort to change Washington attitudes and make Congress work.

Senator Manchin and former Governor Jon Huntsman, a Utah Republican, are serving as honorary co-chairs of the organization.

“We need to fix our politics from the inside, but we need help from the outside,” Senator

Manchin said. “No Labels is the only organization out there that can bring people together to demand that both parties put the country’s needs ahead of politics.

No Labels can set a whole new standard of what’s expected from our national leaders. But we need Americans to help us – and demand better than what we’re getting now.”

Senator Manchin and Governor Huntsman will make their first public appearance as the national leaders of No Labels on Monday, Jan. 14 at a grassroots leadership event in New York.

MILTON FROM PAGE 1 Currently, officers’ hands are tied when they catch someone with pipes, syringes, bowls and other drug using and making instruments.

The ordinance keeps law enforcement officials from charging or arresting these potential criminals.

“We can’t do anything at this moment,” said O’Dell. “All we can do is just take it [the paraphernalia].”

The frustrated officer continued, “Now, it feels like I’m hitting my head against a brick wall, especially if I know they are a key player in the drug community.”

O’Dell is striving to change the language in the ordinance, ultimately allowing himself and other Milton Police officers to arrest possessors of paraphernalia and synthetic drugs, and charge them with “possession of drug paraphernalia,” a misdemeanor that carries high fines.

“We’re taking this crutch away to cripple them,” said O’Dell.

“This is just another branch on the tree to fight drugs. It’s coming quick and we’re going to use it.”

Chief Gary Lilly agreed.

“It’s another tool to help with the drug battle,” he said.

Huntington has an amended ordinance that allows officers to exercise the law when finding these illegal drug tools. Milton will base its new ordinance off the one working well in the River City.

“When we can get more tools to help fight the war on drugs, it’s a lot better for the city as a whole,” said O’Dell.

O’Dell sees progression in local law enforcement. He’s a longtime Milton resident, and loves his city. The police officer wants to see the community take a stand against the drugs and the individuals who are threatening to wreck Milton’s reputation.

“We shouldn’t let a few bad ones override the great people here,” O’Dell said.

He needs help from residents.

Lilly and O’Dell are calling on the city to take back the streets.

To make a difference, call the Milton Police Department at (304) 743-3032 or (304) 743-9211 with any information or suspicious activity. All callers will remain anonymous. After hours, call 911.

Manchin and Huntsman will host more than 1,300 No Labels members, including private citizens and elected officials, at the “Meeting to Make America Work.” The gathering will feature dozens of House and Senate members from all across the country who not only are willing to reach across the political divide to address the major issues but are also committed to meeting regularly as “problem solvers.”

On Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 10:30 a.m., Senator Manchin and Governor Huntsman will host a con-

ference call with West Virginia reporters to outline their agenda.

“This is a great honor to be asked to work with Jon Huntsman to help No Labels become a catalyst for the big changes we need in Washington,” Senator Manchin said. “Jon and I come from different parties, but we come from the same background as governors, where you don’t worry about politics – you worry about your state and its people.”

“As governors, both Jon Huntsman and Joe Manchin developed well-earned reputations as problem solvers,” said No Labels Co-

Founder Mark McKinnon.

“That’s precisely the attitude we need more of in Washington and these two leaders will be great advocates and spokesmen for our movement.”

“At this moment in our history, working to bridge the partisan divide is both the principled and patriotic thing to do,” said No Labels Co-Founder Bill Galston.

“Governor Huntsman and Senator Manchin can play a critical role in building support across the country for our parties coming together.”

Then we learn to admire how poetry says more and tells less. Then we bless words that put our senses to work as prose cannot. Now we observe how stanzas mark divisions of thought.

Christin’s Corner

By Christin Daugherty Dear Christin, Have you ever had a friend that turned out to be your enemy? My best friend, or ex-best friend I should say, recently turned on me without warning.

One minute we were doing everything together and the next minute she started seeing my exboyfriend, and now she won’t even talk to me and she has been spreading rumors about me! I don’t even care about the guy, she can see him if she wants, but I just really miss my friend. How can someone that you thought you could trust turn their back on you so suddenly?

Sincerely, Bad Bestie Dear BB, I’m sorry that this happened to you. And, yes, it has happened to me too. The person you are describing - I like to refer to as a “frenemy”. Half friend, half enemy. And not only are they the most dangerous people you will ever encounter, but they also tend to run rampant throughout the female community.

My sister once told me after a run-in with a frenemy, “That’s the bad thing about having friends. You let them get too close, and they will know exactly

where to hit you where it hurts the most.” While this statement may be sad, it is very much the truth.

In a situation such as this, it is probably best to turn your back on this person that you considered to be your friend. It can be a difficult decision to make, but it is nothing compared to the heartache you will surely endure if you continue in this unhealthy relationship. Your friend has done something completely unforgivable, but you find it in your heart to forgive them anyway because, after all, that is the true meaning of friendship, right? Accepting someone, with all their faults, and loving them anyway?

Let me explain a little something that I have learned: Unconditional love is intended for your family and your children. If you allow someone to treat you badly once, that simply opens up the door for them to do it again, and believe me when I say; the worst is yet to come.

As for me, when discussing the topic of frenemies, I have one that particularly comes to mind.

For ten years our relationship went on until…one day. Within a year, my best friend, the person that I held closest to my heart,

the person that knew everything there was to know about me, became my nemesis. To make things even worse, there was no big disagreement, no fight, not even an argument. The actions that she took in order to reveal her true colors came out of nowhere. The first opportunity she got to undermine my trust, betray me to the fullest extent, and throw me under the bus, she did. One of the worst feelings of failure, for me, was reflecting on this situation and thinking to myself, “How did I not see that coming?” Looking back on the relationship, there were a few warning signs, however, they were very subtle. I honestly ignored most of them because I always just assumed that those were some of her imperfections.

Everyone has imperfections. Little did I know that she was just waiting for the right opportunity to turn on me.

Do yourself a favor BB – don’t blame yourself. This happens to us all. I miss my friend sometimes too, but I know deep down that I am better off without friends like that.

DOCTOR FROM PAGE 1 son’s. The patient was addicted to prescription drugs and was under the influence of prescription medication at the time of the crash. In imposing Dawson’s sentence, Chambers also noted that nine other patients of Dawson’s had died of prescription drug overdoses.

“It’s hard to put into words the devastating impact of this defendant’s crimes,” said U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin. “My heart goes out to the families who spoke at today’s hearing and to everyone who lost a loved one because of Dr. Dawson. Judge Chambers was right: This woman’s behavior is shocking, and this case should send a message to other doctors who abuse their prescription power.”

“The vast majority of physicians prescribe responsibly,” Goodwin continued, “but even a handful of bad doctors can flood our communities with illegal pills. Every time we put a law-

breaking doctor out of business, it’s a big step toward getting this problem under control.”

In sentencing Dawson, Chambers said that doctors who violate prescription laws need to be held accountable for their role in the “horrible problem” of prescription drug abuse. Chambers said he intended the sentence to send a warning to doctors that they will be held accountable for their prescribing practices.

Dawson’s medical license was suspended by the West Virginia Board of Osteopathy in April 2010, on the same day federal and state investigators executed a search warrant at her Milton office. Following the search and the suspension of her medical license, Dawson voluntarily gave up her license permanently.

This case was prosecuted as part of an ongoing effort led by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West Virginia to combat the illicit

sale and misuse of prescription drugs. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, joined by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, is committed to aggressively pursuing and shutting down illegal pill trafficking, eliminating open air drug markets, and curtailing the spread of opiate painkillers in communities across the Southern District.

The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General, and the Drug Enforcement Administration, with assistance from the West Virginia State Police and the Cabell County Sheriff’s Office.

By Mary Jane “WINTER SOLSTICE” Thought for the week: And God said, let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years. Genesis 1:14 (KJV) The short days, and long dark nights of winter, appear to make the month of January longer than other months -the quiet stillness, that all the animals seem to recognize also, only the birds flock at the feeders, and gather like old men at the coffee houses, each morning they eat and flap and talk to each other, then fly away till evening time.

God intended for us to rest and plan with the winter season, you receive your garden catalogs in the mail to ponder on, a time to reflect and vow to have a better garden than last year. A time to plan vacations, time to make promises to yourself that you usually do not keep like exercise and dieting…

The solstice is either of two times a year, when the sun is at its greatest distance from the celestial equator, winter solstice usually occurs in late December and summer solstice in later part of June.

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Genesis 8:22.

This is Gods covenant with creation.

Winter time we seem to remember and dwell on past thoughts, maybe it’s because of the beginning new year, especially if we lost a loved one this past year, maybe we live with an illness or know someone who does, we have concerns and grief – it’s hard to be happy at these times, when days are cold, dismal and dreary. But - Happy is that people, that is in such a case, yea happy is that people, whose God is the Lord. Psalm; 144:15 Somehow God guides us thru the rough patches in life, we may not know it at the time, but we look back and see that He is with us, at all times good and bad.

We will bear with the winter weather, and long dark nights, just as we bear our own winter storms of life.

Hope is the springtime season, when all becomes green with skies of blue, the feel of warm sunshine on our shoulders once again, and our hearts will embrace with laughter. … Time does not heal all things, but time has a way of making days change for better.

Trust in the Lord with all thane heart; and lean not unto thane own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths.

Proverbs 3; 5 -6.

Prayer: Life is precious Father, let us enjoy and use our years wise, as you wish. Amen.

Velma’s View

By Velma Kitchens Priming the Pump This morning I went out to feed the crow some bread and as I walked out into the snow and frost I was reminded of my Grandma Carpenter who lived on Buzzard Creek. (I have written about her before).

But my memories of childhood always go back there.

I feed the crows because they can pick up big chunks of bread and carry them off. I think they like me – but, it could be the food I give them.

I have read where crow are watching all the time and can recognize people. I hope they rescue me - if the bear I hear is around here somewhere - comes near.

Hopefully, the DNR will catch the bear and release it to a nice place - hopefully far, far away.

As I was walking outside to my crow rock, that is what I call the rock that I put the bread for the crow on, I thought about how Grandma Carpenter always put on a headscarf and coat to go to the well which was outside the back door from her house to fetch a bucket of water.

The well had a top on it with a pump. I have drawn water from an open well and there is a trick to flipping the bucket. My Grandma had a pump which made it easier but in the wintertime the pump may have to be primed.

Priming the pump means you must put a small amount of water down the pump before more water would start to flow out of the pumps. You pushed up and down on the handle. After pumping for a little bit, the bucket was full of good country water. My Grandma never went outside in the winter without her head covered and her coat on. She said you must keep your head warm in the winter or you will catch cold.

Some people say this is not true, but I usually keep something on my head in the wintertime. She also had a pair of rubber boots which she slipped on over her shoes. I don’t think women wear them anymore except on a farm, but they did the trick.

We have a lot to be thankful for these days; running water is one of them. My Grandma moved from Buzzard Creek years later and I know she missed Buzzard Creek, but she made it. She worked hard on the farm and she did things the old fashioned way which sometimes is the most common sense way of doing things.

I have found that the old ways are usually the best way.

Country people can survive.

Health: a Priority for County

By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com

HUNTINGTON – Commissioners weighed in on the health and well-being of residents during the Jan. 10 Cabell County Commission meeting.

Tim Hazelett, Region IV director of Change the Future WV, approached the commission with an operation he believes will better the lives of West Virginians.

This meeting was just one stop on Hazelett’s march toward revamping health in southern West Virginia. Last month, this organization presented its ideas during a Huntington Health Revolution meeting.

Change the Future WV has many goals to improve the quality of life in the Mountain State: help

people navigate the healthcare system, reduce obesity and tobacco use, improve the quality of food in schools and make fruits and vegetables more accessible.

This organization operates off a $1.8 million Community Transformation Grant. Funding ends in 2016, but Hazelett is confident the programs and initiatives his team implements will not.

“Once our grant ends, these programs will continue,” he said. “Our goal is to decrease health disparity.”

After his presentation, Hazelett asked the commissioners for a letter of support.

Commission President Nancy Cartmill seemed on board.

“Sounds like you got a big job ahead,” she said.

Commissioners approved the

request.

In other news, the county approved the request for a Feb. 14 public hearing on Pea Ridge PSD’s petition to enlarge its boundaries.

Commissioner Bob Bailey urged the PSD representative to notify customers of the upcoming meeting with a letter.

“That could be costly to the district,” the representative said.

Bailey answered back, “It’ll be costly to the district if it passes.”

Bailey and commissioners also discussed the growth of the TriState Airport. The airport is seeking $50,000 for improvements.

“I’m all for the airport,” said Bailey.

Cartmill agreed.

“I’ve watched it make big strides with a new snack bar and security equipment,” she said.

West Virginia Reads 150 Join the West Virginia Library Commission (WVLC), the West Virginia Center for the Book and libraries across the state inWestVirginia Reads 150, a reading challenge that celebrates West Virginia’s 150th birthday in 2013.

The year-long reading initiative encouragesWestVirginians to read 150 books during the course of 2013,WestVirginia’s sesquicentennial year. The books can be in any format (printed book, e-book, downloadable text, etc.) and from any source. Books can be on any topic, fiction or non-fiction.

People can read 150 books individually, or they can join teams to read 150 books collectively. Libraries acrossWestVirginia are encouraged to form teams to

compete. Teams, which can have up to 15 members, must choose a name and select a leader to keep track of the books read by team members.

All ages and groups can participate – friends, coworkers, book clubs, classmates, seniors, etc. If children are too young to read on their own, kids can have their parents read to them. Families can apply their Summer Reading Program credits toward theirWestVirginia Reads 150 tally.

WVLC is providing libraries with West Virginia Reads 150 artwork, window clings, reader’s advisories, the Good Reads web site (www.goodreads.com/group/sho w/84991-wv-reads-150), social media support and program ideas.

Libraries are free to customize West Virginia Reads 150 for their own needs. Prizes, certificates, etc. will be up to participating libraries and sponsoring organizations.

The program is not limited to public libraries – bookstores, school and academic libraries, literacy organizations, youth services providers and more are encouraged to participate in West Virginia Reads 150.

The West Virginia Library Commission (www.librarycommission.wv.gov) provides services to libraries across the state. It also provides a reference library and a research service for the West Virginia Legislature and all state employees. The agency serves the general public as well.

Smokers Can Help Their Health and Wallets by Quitting this Year To The Editor: The American Lung Association of the Mid-Atlantic wishes everyone a Happy New Year. As we ring in 2013, many of us will make New Year’s resolutions to improve our health and wellbeing. People who resolve to quit smoking this New Year have the chance to increase the length and quality of their lives.

Quitting works its magic the minute an individual makes the choice. In just 12 hours after an individual quits, the carbon

monoxide level in their blood drops to normal. Fast forward to a year after quitting, and the risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker’s.

Today, smoking has become increasingly expensive, with cigarette packs costing up to $10 in some areas. A $5 pack per day adds up to $1,825 per year. Quitters save their lives and can save money for the future.

Quitting not only helps you, but also the loved ones and friends around you. Secondhand smoke

affects everyone, and is especially dangerous to young children.

If your New Year’s resolutions include quitting smoking, visit the How to Quit resource on our website. For facts on smoking and more ways to stop it, visit the Stop Smoking page.

Rahall Sworn In for 19th Term in U.S. House of Representatives WASHINGTON, D.C. – Thursday, January 3, U.S. Rep. Nick Rahall (D-WV) was sworn-in for his 19th term in the U.S. House of Representatives, expressing his hope that the new 113th Congress would do better than its predecessor in putting the good of the country above partisan politics.

“Too many times, the last Congress allowed itself to become bogged down in frustrating legislative gridlock. Historically noncontroversial measures that were essential to the economic wellbeing of our Nation became victims of partisan stunts and bickering that forced the Congress to lurch from one self-concocted crisis to another, hurting job growth and eroding the American people’s faith in their government -- this must not be

allowed to become the norm in the new Congress. On the many issues crying out for Congressional action, there’s no reason why the Congress cannot reach an agreement and get its job done,” said Rahall.

Rahall noted his top priority for the coming Congress remains job creation and economic growth in southern West Virginia.

“There is no higher priority for me than establishing a thriving economy for the people of southern West Virginia. Now is the time to address the needs of our aging highways and bridges, water and wastewater treatment systems.

They are tried and true tonics for ailing economies and proven job producers. Do this and we not only grow the economy, we sustain and create jobs and help balance the budget. Infrastructure

initiatives, in West Virginia and throughout the country, can help bridge the divide between the two parties and provide a roadmap to get America moving again,” said Rahall, the top Democrat on the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in the Congress.

Rahall noted that $1 billion in transportation investments sustains or creates nearly 35,000 jobs nationwide. Every dollar spent on road, highway, and bridge improvements returns an average benefit of $5.20 by reducing delays, vehicle maintenance costs, fuel consumption, road and bridge maintenance costs, and emissions, as well as improved safety -- all as a result of improved traffic flow.

“We must take advantage of the breathing room provided by the

passage of last year’s highway reauthorization bill and craft a robust long-term, legislative vehicle to address our Nation’s and West Virginia’s many critical infrastructure needs. Our State has major highway projects to complete, such as Routes 2, 10 and 35, the I-73/74 Tolsia / King Coal Highway, the Coalfields Expressway, and the Z-Way, to name a few. We have important transit cornerstones to complete in downtown Beckley and Bluefield.

Our airports have plans for growth, and, with game changers like the Boy Scouts of America taking root here, having the infrastructure in place to meet growing demand is a basic necessity.”

With the Congress preparing to continue the budgetary battles of the previous Congress, Rahall expressed his desire to find a way to

reduce the deficit while still protecting the vital services that West Virginians rightly expect from their government.

“In the continuing debates on how to balance our spending priorities, Congress must provide for the basic services and investments the people expect. We cannot allow our infrastructure, the bedrock of America's long-term economic strength, to crumble and sacrifice generations of public investment. Certainly, I will continue fighting against unfair tax increases and spending cuts that would harm our State's economy and West Virginia households, including our seniors, working families, and small businesses, as well as our activeduty troops, military retirees, and veterans who have already sacrificed so much for our Nation.”

Conservation officers a dedicated force

David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

I'm constantly amazed and impressed by the dedication of conservation officers. There are

many counties in West Virginia where there's only one officer to cover the entire county. They're on constant call and duty.

They're required to have listed phone numbers, so you can always just look him up and call him if some game-law-related issue arises.

If you've ever done anything that, well, wasn't strictly legal and a conservation officer saw it, you might have a different opinion. For example, one of them ticketed Justin Kimble, The WVU Mountaineer, for not wearing blaze orange while bear hunting in a video that was posted on the Internet. As I understand it, you don't have to wear blaze orange while bear hunting, but you do if deer hunting is going on at the time (which it was). I know of more than one officer who has

ticketed several members of his own family.

They're strict, but at least they're fair and it's not just the West Virginia officers who are like that. Regardless of how you feel about them personally, I'm sure everyone could have at least some respect for that level of dedication to the oath they swore to uphold the law and Constitution.

On Jan. 7, Louisiana conservation officers charged and/or arrested some on-duty police officers for game violations.

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Enforcement Division agents – which is what they call their conservation officers down there - arrested a Winnsboro, La. police officer and cited another Winnsboro officer and cited a Franklin Parish De-

tention Center Corrections Officer for their alleged roles in the illegal harvesting of a deer.

They learned of the police poaching the same way they catch on to most things, by forging connections in the community. In other words, somebody squealed.

Winnsboro officer Chester Coleman, 34, was cited with deer during illegal hours using artificial light, hunting from a moving vehicle, failing to comply with deer tagging requirements, and hunting without basic and big game licenses. They also cited a couple of other officers with similar charges. Coleman, however, was arrested because he was on duty at the time of the alleged poaching.

The officers say Coleman was on duty at the time of the illegal

hunting activity and he shot the deer from his patrol vehicle with one of the other officer's .308 rifle. The three men then put the deer into the trunk of the patrol vehicle for later cleaning, the charges allege.

In Louisiana, malfeasance in office is a felony and brings up to five years in jail and $5,000 in fines. Taking deer during illegal hours brings a $900 to $950 fine and up to 120 days in jail. Hunting from a moving vehicle brings a $250 to $500 and up to 90 days in jail.

This all brings up a very interesting situation. I never imagined there could be a scenario where poaching a deer could be a felony.

Outdoors Roundup Hurricane man set sets fish record Joshua Wayne Estes of Hurricane has set a new state record for yellow perch. Estes caught the 14.5-inch, 1.93-pound fish a Summersville Lake in Nicholas County on December 1, 2012, using a live chub for bait.

His catch establishes a new West Virginia record for weight.

The previous weight record for yellow perch was 1.83 pounds, caught by Charles Mayle from Tygart Lake in Taylor County in 1985. The length record for yellow perch of 15.44 inches still stands and was caught by Craig Hollandsworth from Summersville Lake in 2010.

If you think you have caught a state-record fish, you can check its dimensions against the record listing in the state fishing regulations. The brochure also outlines the procedure to follow for reporting a state record catch.

Tracking and Wood Lore Weekend slated An 18th century outdoors weekend is slated for January 1820, 2013 at Twin Falls Resort State Park. “Tracking and Wood Lore

weekend creates the experience of how our ancestors tracked the animals that provided food and clothing,” said Bryan Danford, park naturalist.

Participants will engage on track walks and put new skills into use with the scavenger hunt.

Other topics of the weekend will include: Indian stories, edible and medicinal plants presentation, and an 18th century trading camp.

Advance reservations are required in order to plan for outdoor and indoor activities, the special Saturday meal and interactive programs. For more information call (304) 294-4000.

Our early frontier history has always been a fascinating subject for me and provided the federal government can take a couple weeks off from trying to disarm the populace (I had to take a week off myself and I would imagine that circumventing the Constitution is as tiring as defending it) I'd like to present some of our original outdoorsmen in some upcoming columns.

Glock Jr. unveils new winter/hunting hat

Most people on earth have at least some familiarity with Gaston Glock and his famous automatic pistol. Not so well known – at least in America – is the other Gaston Glock, the son of the Austrian pistol company founder, Gaston J. Glock.

I do like to pass along cool products I see occasionally and I have come across a great new hat Glock the Younger is offering, called the Tyrolean Loden Hunting Cap. The hat is made in Germany of Tyrolean Loden wool from Austria. The wool is naturally breathable and like any wool, keeps you warm when it's wet, but this stuff is really, really good wool. It has a fold-down blaze orange stripe, which I thought was a really cool concept.

When I was in college, I spent a semester in Austria and bought a jacket made from this material. I wore it practically every day from October to March. I bought in it 1997. I'm still wearing it.

Local Funeral Director qualifies for Recertification of Certified Funeral Service Practitioner HUNTINGTON, WV - Shane Ritchie, CFSP, funeral director and Licensee-In-Charge of Beard Mortuary in Huntington, West Virginia, has recently qualified for recertification of the designation of Certified Funeral

Service Practitioner (CFSP), by the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice. A number of professions grant special recognition to members upon completion of specified academic and professional pro-

grams and "CFSP" is funeral service's national individual recognition. A select few have distinguished themselves among their peers within the funeral service profession as they continue their education to ex-

ceed the highest standards of care. This achievement is especially notable because Shane has voluntarily elected to participate in quality educational and service opportunities that far surpass what the funeral

service licensing board in West Virginia requires. Shane has committed to a program of lifelong learning to serve you and families in your community with the level of excellence expected of a CFSP.
