VELMA’S VIEW: Some Things My Dad Taught Me Don’t walk with your hands in your pockets (if you fall, nothing to catch yourself with) Don’t bet on the other man’s trick, he will win ALL the time. In the winter when you think you are driving slow enough, go a little bit slower. On foggy mornings run your wipers on low, get the mist off the windshield. When going around a curve, slow down, you don’t know what’s in the road around the curve. Respect electricity. Don’t lay anything on top of the Bible. Eat all your food on your plate. Take all you want, but eat all you take. Respect your President, love your country and flag. Honor the elderly, they have been through life and have more wisdom than younger people, most of the time. Don’t start a fight, end it. Don’t get so far in debt you can’t get out. Don’t mow grass on Sunday. Always have gas in your vehicle. Once a Marine, always a Marine. (Editor’s Note: Recently,Velma Kitchens of Culloden called our office in Teays Valley saying that she had seen an ad in our paper(s) wanting freelance writers.Velma said that she has been writing for a long time and “enjoys writing about the places my family and I have visited in the State”. She went on to say that she can write about anything. So for awhile, space allowing, we’ll be printing some of Velma’s stories under the caption “Velma’s View” - as Velma’s writings vary from things her Dad taught her to First Grade in Florida to Central Elementary School (out Route 34 south across from Turkey Creek) to many more subjects near and dear to her heart. We hope that you enjoy Velma’s View and ask that you drop us a line and let us know what YOU would like Velma to write about.You may email suggestions and comments to trudyblack@theputnam standard.com or mail them to PO Box 186, Culloden,WV 25510).

Two women sentenced on Federal Drug Charges HUNTINGTON – U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin has announced that two women, including one from Putnam County, were sentenced on federal drug charges. Montana Lee Marks, 24, of Huntington, was sentenced to three years and one month in prison for aiding and abetting the distribution of crack cocaine. Marks’ co-conspirator Debra Kay Pack, 36, of Scott Depot, Putnam County, was sentenced to three years’
probation that includes six months of home confinement for distributing crack cocaine. Pack previously pleaded guilty March. Pack and Marks both admitted that they took part in an August 2010 illegal drug transaction. Specifically, Pack admitted that on Aug. 24, 2010, she approached undercover members of the Huntington Violent Crime and Drug Task Force to arrange a crack co-
caine transaction. Pack further admitted that she sold the quantity of crack cocaine to an undercover Task Force agent in exchange for $20. Marks admitted that she gave Pack the crack cocaine that was sold in the illegal transaction. The investigation was conducted by the Huntington Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area Task Force.

Ban on Texting, Talking on a Cellphone while Driving now in Effect By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
CHARLESTON – West Virginia's new law banning texting or talking on a cell phone while driving is now in effect. The law became effective July 1 and creates a primary offense of sending a text message while driving, meaning that law enforcement officers can pull a driver over for that offense alone.
The same law also creates a secondary offense of talking on a cell phone while driving. With a secondary offense, a driver can be cited, but only after being pulled over for another, primary offense. Talking on a cell phone while driving will become a primary offense on July 1, 2013. The new law also carries penalties of a $100 fine for a first offense; a $200 fine for a second offense; and a $300 fine for a third or subsequent offense. The
new law also allows for the state Division of Motor Vehicles to take three points off a driver's license for a third offense or greater. There are some exceptions to the ban. The ban does not apply to law enforcement officers, firefighters, or emergency medical personnel in the performance of their duties. The law also allows people to make phone calls to report to authorities a fire, traffic accident,
road hazard, or other emergencies. The new law does allow people to talk on 'hands free' devices while driving. "The operating mission statement of the West Virginia State Police stresses our commitment to creating and maintaining a safe environment for motorists traveling on the State's roadways. The recent passage of legislation pertaining to texting and cellular phone usage while driving a
motor vehicle enhances our efforts to ensure such an environment," said West Virginia State Police Col. C. R. "Jay" Smithers. "Distracted driving increasingly seems to be the underlying cause of many traffic crashes, not only in West Virginia but throughout the country. This new law should be successful in preventing a great deal of loss to both property and human lives.”
DHHR curtails Child Care Cervices, cuts Grants Officials at the Bureau for Children and Families, the Bureau within the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources that administers services for children and families such as foster care, SNAP benefits and child care, say eligibility for child care services will change beginning Aug. 1. Families currently receiving services will continue to receive services at this time, some with an increase in copayments. There will be no reduction in provider rates, and there will be no changes in payment for days of care. Changes will continue into 2013. Effective Aug. 1, copayments will increase from the current rate of five percent to 12 percent for services provided. Eligibility for new applicants enrolling in the child care program will be frozen
except for families receiving cash assistance through the WVWORKS, foster families, families receiving child care because of a child protective service case and families receiving court-ordered child care. After Jan 1, 2013, those families determined to have income above 150 percent of the poverty level will no longer be eligible for a state child care subsidy when they receive their redeterminations from the Bureau for Children and Families. This means a family of four with an income greater than $2,794 a month would no longer be eligible for a child care supplement. Families can currently receive a child care supplement if their income falls from 150-185 percent of the federal poverty level. These redeterminations occur every six months from the
initial date of eligibility. Child care is the direct care and protection of children during a portion of a 24-hour day outside of the children’s own home that provide experiences for children that foster healthy development and education. “Children” are considered to be less than 13 years of age. The definition is extended to those 18 years of age who are under current supervision or have significant developmental delays. In State Fiscal Year 2011, which ended June 30, 2011, more than 24,000 children received child care services at an estimated total federal and state cost of approximately $54 million. This has grown from more than 23,000 children served in 2009 at a total federal and state cost of nearly $45 million. State general revenue appropri-
ations to child care have remained constant for the past three years at $5,693,743 per year. State general revenue funds have been supplemented by carrying over federal TANF funds. The state receives $110 million each year in TANF funds from the federal government and for several years did not spend the entire appropriation each year. Beginning in 2008, there was $58 million in TANF carryover funds. These have been steadily used to pay for both child care and social services, and they are now gone. The Bureau for Children and Families is also cutting more than $9.5 million in grants. These include a $2.5 million grant to the West Virginia Department of Education for expansion of a summer nutrition program and 14 grants totaling approximately $5.5 million to regional workforce invest-
ment boards to fund subsidized employment for adults and youth. These grants were funded through American Recovery Act Funding. That money is no longer available. It expired Sept. 30, 2010. A $762,000 grant to the West Virginia University Research Corporation and a $149,469 grant to the West Virginia State Research and Development Corporation were not funded because the information from the data collected was inconclusive as to whether or not it helped foster and strengthen two-parent families, as was its original intention. In addition, an $862,168 grant to the WVU Research and Development Corporation for vocational assessment was not funded. After reviewing data from the grant, BCF staff concluded it was not meeting expectations to place individuals into employment.

Not all Knots made the Same
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
I’ve been taking my son fishing this summer and he’s at just the right age where he needs to be tying his own knots. I remember the knots I used for tying on lures at his age – basically an overhand knot, then a few more overhand knots on top of that for good measure. When I became a Boy Scout, however, I learned that like tools, there are different knots for different jobs. Whenever you snag your line and pull it until it breaks, you’ve probably noticed that it breaks at the knot every time. There’s a good reason for that – the knot is always the weakest part of any line. You’d think your 10-pound
test line would break under 10 pounds of pressure. That might be true for the line, but not for your knot. There was a time when I experimented with the tension (pulling) force needed to break different lines with different knots. What knot you tie – and how you tie it – makes a major difference. The breaking point of a double or triple overhand knot like I first tied on 10-pound line, is about five pounds of pressure. If you tie a cinch knot – the knot I use – the breaking point is around nine pounds of pressure and note, even with one of the best knots for the job, 10-pound line still won’t withstand 10 pounds of pressure. If you’re tying overhand knots, you will need 20pound test line to get the same strength you get from a cinch knot with 10-pound test line. Regardless of what knot you choose, it won’t live up to its full potential unless you lubricate the line as you tighten it. If you pull a knot tight with dry, monofilament line, the heat from that friction will actually melt the line and make it weaker. I suppose you could also use water, but I always spit on the line to lubricate the knot. There are three basic knots you need for fishing line – a
knot to tie on the hook or lure, a knot to tie on something, such as a sinker above the hook and a non-slip loop knot. For the non-slip loop, Lefty Kreh – the same guy who invented the Kreh Deceiver fly in the 1950s, invented a knot for the purpose, called the Kreh knot. I also invented a non-slip loop knot, which I call the Payne knot. I always use a cinch knot for tying swivels, lures, flies or hooks to the end of my line. It’s only supposed to have six turns, because once you get past seven turns, the knot can be difficult to tighten. When I was younger, I went as far as 11 loops with any line less than 10-pound test, but I’ve not done that in years. To tie the cinch knot, thread the line through the eye of the hook and pull through four inches of line. Hold the hook or lure with one hand and make several twists (at least five) around the standing part of the line. If you are using heavy fishing line, you can get by with and probably shouldn’t make more than four turns. Just above the hook line, the line forms an "eye" just above the hook. Thread the loose end through that line and pull tight. The Palomar knot is your go-to knot when you want to
tie something onto the middle of a line. Let’s say you want to tie on a sinker ¬not talking about slipshots, of course, but you‘ve already tied on your hook. You don’t have to cut the line to tie the knot, if you know how to tie the Palomar Knot. When I was a kid, I used this knot for tying hooks along a traut line or drop line. Double over a few inches of line and pass the newlyformed loop through the hook eye, but don’t pull it all the way through. Let the hook hang loosely and tie an overhand knot with the doubled line, but don’t tighten it. Pass the hook through the hoop and pull carefully until the knot tightens just above the hook eye. This is supposed to be the strongest fishing knot yet conceived and can be used to tie a hook on the end of the line as well. There are many reasons you need a non-slip loop knot for fishing. I use them to attach my homemade leaders to the main fly line. Crankbaits need to be tied on with a non-slip loop to work properly. There are several of these knots out there. Of course, there’s Kreh’s and Rapala has its own knot for the purpose. I, however, prefer my own creation, the Payne knot. In the Boy Scout, the nonslip loop of choice is the bow-
line, an ancient knot from the days of sail. The only reason that the bowline isn’t used for fishing is because it will slip when used on monofilament line. My knot is basically a modification of the bowline, so it will work on monofilament line. I can tie it in 12 seconds and it is as strong as anything I know. I am right handed, so reverse the directions if you are left handed. Thread the line through the crankbait’s eye and hold the loose end of the line with your right hand. Let the crankbait hang down several inches, because you will need a lot of slack line. Make three small loops in the standing part of the line (the part between the crankbait and the reel). I do this by wrapping it loosely around my finger. Pinch the loops between your left thumb and index finger to ensure they don’t come apart. Thread the loose end of the line through these loops and wrap it once around the standing part of the line, then back through the loops. Spit on the loops. Pull it tight, but keep a little pinch pressure on the loops as you do to keep the loops from coming apart as you tighten. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
National Forest Caves to remain closed to the Public By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
The U.S. Forest Service recently announced the caves in the Monongahela National Forest – which protects nearly one million acres in West Virginia – will stay closed to the public. The move comes just before the National Speleogical Society’s convention in Lewisburg last weekend. The caves have been closed since 2009, but the recent move continues the moratorium until next year and could be extended later. The closure is meant to prevent spread of white-nosesyndrome, a disease that has killed several million bats in the United States. “We know bats play an extremely important role in reducing agricultural and forest pests”, notes Forest Supervisor Clyde Thompson. “It’s been very difficult to predict the long term effects
of any management actions, so we’ve been taking the most cautious approach to protecting bats in caves. This is especially important since the Monongahela contains numerous caves heavily used by bats and the Forest in general is important to sustaining bat populations.” The disease is caused by a fungus, which appears on the muzzles of hibernating bats. Once a cave is infected, the fungus spreads rapid and mortalities can exceed 90 percent. The fungus itself is not by itself lethal, but is similar to athlete’s foot, only on a bat’s nose. The fungus irritates the bats so, that they are unable to enjoy their hibernation slumber. The annoying itching awakens the bats, who not only use up their fat reserves, but also fly outside of the caves, apparently in search of food. Sometimes, they even leave their caves in mid-day in search of flying insects to eat,
which are of course absent in winter, and the bats starve to death. The Forest Service will be conducting an analysis, which is slated to begin this summer, to study the impact of public intrusion into bat caves. Officials are still unsure of a way to make caves accessible to the public, while protecting native bats. Two years ago, white-nosesyndrome was discovered in bats in West Virginia’s largest and most important bat cave, Hellhole in Pendleton County, where an estimated 200,000 bats hibernate each winter. The cave is also important nationally as it is a designated critical habitat for two federally-endangered species, the Indiana Bat bat and the Virginia big-eared bat. Hellhole supports nearly 20,000 of these endangered bats – including more than 40 percent of the world’s population of Virginia big-eared bat, which had rebounded its
population from the brink of extinction in the 1970s (most of the population increase was in West Virginia). The cave is on privately-owned land and closed to the public. Scientists have been so concerned about possible effects of the fungus, they have captured several Virginia bigeared bats to create a captive stock, to later restore the population should it become extinct in the wild. The fungal bat plague was first seen in early 2006 in a cave near Albany, N.Y. Since then, it has spread more than 500 miles to caves in 10 states from New Hampshire to Tennessee. It has been documented in several other West Virginia caves. It is not believed to be harmful to humans, or any animals besides bats. The fungus is spread from bat-to-bat as they gather in caves and mines for winter hibernation. Scientists believe that it may also be
spread unknowingly by careless or unknowing cavers – one of the reasons the speleological society stresses freshly washing all caving clothing and gear – who carry fungal spores into caves. Infected caves may not initially show obvious signs of the fungus, so cavers might not be aware their clothing or gear is contaminated. The society has played a key role in studying the effects of the syndrome as well as educating cavers and the public alike about protecting bats. Bats play a key role in keeping insects, including as agricultural pests, mosquitoes and forest pests, under control. Between April and October, each bat can eat its body weight in insects each night. Bats provide a tremendous public service in terms of pest control.

Marshall celebrates opening of Physical Therapy Program HUNTINGTON – On May 21, Marshall University welcomed aboard the new School of Physical Therapy’s inaugural class of 29 students at the St. Mary’s Center for Education. On June 18, in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at that same location to celebrate the opening of the program, university officials showed the public, along with members of the Marshall Board of Governors, where those 29 students and future students will be pursuing their Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degrees. “I have to pinch myself every once in a while to make sure this lovely space is really ours to work in,” said Dr. Penny Kroll, a professor and the school’s chair. “I’ve never worked in such a well-appointed space with top of the line physical therapy equipment, audiovisual systems, classrooms and technology.” Marshall President Stephen J. Kopp said that the region has needed an accredited, entry-level physical therapy program for some time. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Outlook through 2020, employment for physical therapists is expected to increase by nearly 40 percent for the decade, 2010 to 2020. This growth is much greater than the average for all occupations. The increasing demand for physical therapy services is expected to emanate largely from the aging “baby boomers” segment of our population. This generation of Americans is staying physically active later in life than previous generations have. Kopp said he expects that the state-of-the-art facility that has been established at the St. Mary’s Center for Education combined with Kroll’s leadership and her high quality faculty will enable Marshall to rapidly move to the forefront in producing therapists for our region and elsewhere, thereby preventing a serious access issue in this important patient services area. “Graduating quality professionals in the physical therapy field, as we will do beginning in May 2015, will benefit the entire tri-state region and the state,” Dr. Kopp said. “I am very grateful to Dr. Kroll and her colleagues who

Kopp, right, in a ribbon cutting this afternoon, celebrating the opening of the school. Prewitt is dean of the College of Health Professions, Kroll is chair of the School of Physical Therapy, Tarr is president of the West Virginia Physical Therapy Association and Kopp is president of Marshall University. Photo by Rick Haye/Marshall University have worked so tirelessly to establish this program and earn Candidate accreditation status. I would also like to acknowledge and thank St. Mary’s Medical Center President and CEO, Michael G. Sellards, for sharing our vision for this program and facilitating the renovation of this magnificent facility. Today is another major milestone for Marshall University.” The revamped, new home of the School of Physical Therapy, located at 2847 5th Ave. in Huntington, will house approximately 120 students (40 students admitted annually for the three-year DPT program), as well as faculty and staff. The building previously housed Sears, and later, Big Bear. The DPT is an entry-level, 115credit, lock-step clinical degree program for students who wish to pursue a career as a physical therapist practitioner, and who possess a baccalaureate degree and required prerequisite coursework. Kroll said clinicians in the area have been supportive of the program since its approval in 2009.
“They are delighted to see that we are up and running,” she said. “They are looking forward to us producing graduates who can go out into the community and practice. We are so short of therapists.” The School of Physical Therapy has achieved Candidacy for Accreditation status from the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education, and expects to gain full accreditation in May 2015. Kroll said the need for physical therapists in West Virginia is great. “Clinicians tell me it takes them nine months to two years to fill a position,” she said. “It is just tremendously difficult to find therapists. Obviously, there are lots of employment possibilities. And the mean salary for a therapist in West Virginia is $77,660. Our graduates will have the potential to make a very nice living.” Kroll said most of the 29 students already in the program are from the Appalachian region, with most of those from West Vir-
ginia, Ohio and Kentucky. How did they hear about the program? “Mostly word of mouth,” Kroll said. Beginning in mid-July, Marshall will be added to the Physical Therapist Centralized Application Service (PT-CAS). Kroll said Marshall’s name will appear when people apply to physical therapy schools. “The next group of students will be applying through that system,” she said.
One reason West Virginia needs more physical therapists is clear, Kroll said. “Part of the problem in West Virginia is the aging population,” she said. “And that means more need for rehabilitation.” The core faculty at the School of Physical Therapy include Dr. Eric Arnold, an associate professor; Dr. Yi-Po Chiu, an assistant professor; Dr. Neil Evans, an assistant professor; and Dr. Tamara Gravano, an assistant professor.
