My bed is empty now, without his touch beside me His warm body on a cool evening has eluded me His arms around me holding me securely and making me feel safe The morning coffee already made before my feet hit the floor. He’s gone now, never to return to me on this Earth. I miss his body entwined in mine The touch of his hand on my face The loving smiles and the secrets behind each one. My children have no dad now, and they wonder where he went My arms are filled with the children, his children, the part that will live on In time they will learn how he died, but more importantly how he lived He lived every day for his family and country He was serving his country when death came upon him. All of us in the United States of America should be honored that we live here A free country because brave men and women went to battle for us We should never forget their sacrifice, a willing sacrifice, a volunteer May our country be blessed with other young men who will take up their banner May we find those young men and encourage them to do the same, for us all.

Directions 1. Slice tomatoes 1/2 inch thick. Discard the ends. 2. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat. 3. In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes; they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels.

How do you read a poem? Such a simple and complicated question, the answer depends on who you are and why you are reading the poem to start with. I read poetry because I enjoy seeing how another writer puts her thoughts into verse. Poetry can be inspiring, uplifting or thought provoking. If you stop and think about how the writer put her words into each line, where the line breaks, or the use of imagery in the poem you may be able to see what was in the writers mind. However, even if you don’t understand everything the writer was saying if you enjoyed reading the poem it was a positive experience. Own the poem when you read it, make it yours and let it speak to you, I think if you do that you will find poetry is not that hard to read. You might not like every poem that you read, but if you can keep an open mind I am certain that you will find something in each poem that will speak to your heart. So just, keep reading. On another note, the poems that are published in this column are as the writer sends them to us. If you are submitting a poem, line length is a good thing to keep in mind. This is a newspaper; if your lines are too long we will have to make breaks that conform to the column width. If you are uncomfortable with that you can adjust your line length before you send us your poem. Until next time keep reading, writing and sending in your poem, we love hearing from you. You can send your poems to the above address or email them to: cabellputnamstandardpoetry@hotmail.com. *****

2012 Dayton Vectren Air Show Submitted By Jim Parsons On late Wednesday afternoon, July 4th, we arrived at our motel only 1 mile from the entrance to the 2012 Dayton Vectren Air Show. The next morning, at 8:30, the Navy's Blue Angels arrived with a low pass over the field. One by one, they taxied in front of the media tent. The pilots raised their canopies, returned a salute from their ground crew chief, climbed down from their plane, lined up in front, and awaited interviews from the press. I was assigned to interview AJ Harrell, who barely made it as a

Blue Angels' pilot, standing 6 feet, 6 inches tall. This year, the interviews were different, with 3 of us in a group, randomly asking questions. Q. How long is a pilot assigned to the Blue Angels? A. 2 years. Q. How can you fly within 18 inches of wing tips, at speed in excess of 400 mph, doing acrobatic maneuvers and not touch? A. 3 words. Q. What are the 3 words? A. Practice, practice, practice. Q. How long has the F-18 "Hornet" been the official Blue Angel plane? A. 18 years. Q. How do you keep in such great condition?
World War II, P51Mustang. Photo by Rusty Parsons. A. We have regular work-outs and must pass a tough physical exam. The PIO officer came up and terminated the interviews.We all 3 thanked Capt. Harrell, and then had pictures taken with him. The following day, Friday, was practice day for the air show participants. On Saturday, the people started arriving about 10, waiting for the gates to open at 11.Various aircraft performed on a tight schedule. During the day, and last but not least, was the Blue Angels acrobatic team performing the crowd pleasing intricate and low pass maneuvers. After they landed, they came over to a certain area and signed autographs for the people.
Note: One of the highlights of the show was I got to meet and talk with Major "Dutch" Van Kirk, 91 years old, who was the navigator on the "Enola Gay", the B-29 that bombed Hiroshima with the first atomic bomb. I will give an interesting account of our meeting in a future issue. The highlight for my son, Rusty, was he flew in a Japanese fighter, attack plane and also in the Blue Angels, "Ernie" a C-130 support plane doing combat maneuvers. On our drive back home, I sat back, relaxed in our cold air conditioned car, with Rusty doing the "piloting" and reflected on another great time with a father and his son. “Looking forward to the next one Rusty”

Getting a frog's eye view of a fish's world
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
If you want to get what the Germans call “a frog's eye” view” of the unseen aquatic world, there are a lot of options available today. Fish sonar has been around for a long time, but in recent years anglers have been able to rig
small underwater cameras with their lures. One friend of mine had a fishing float that had depth-finding sonar. We live and fish in a very advanced world and I think if we rely on that stuff too much, we lose the ability to read water. Water reading has been an art as long as people have been fishing – and folks have been fishing with hooks since the caveman days. Izaak Walton, whoever it was who wrote the 15th Century fishing book Dame Juliana Berners gets credit for, and Thomas Barker had none of that stuff and they all caught plenty of fish. Reading any of this stuff – and the Berners book is 500 years old now – will help people catch fish. In some ways, even before we were using sonar to find German and Japanese ships in World War II, we had become less in tune with the water than our ancestors were and that's thanks to a piece of technology we take for granted
as having been around forever – the fishing reel (more on that next week). Walton wrote in the 1600s about water being a great mystery that one unraveled by piecing together its many clues – things the non-angler would hardly notice. Walton writes of clues in the current, the sky, the seasons, the air, the insect activity and you sort all of this information to answer the following: “where are the fish and what do they want to eat?” Once you formed your hypothesis, you tested it by fishing. If unsuccessful, you come up with another hypothesis and test that. Your best fishermen still do that. Some are quite good at it. I was covering the West Virginia Bass Festival for a newspaper a few years ago and met Roland Martin, who had been brought in to say stuff like “woo, son! That's some smallmouth!” at the weighins. The river was high that year during the festival and anglers
were having little luck. So, I asked Roland what advice he would have for anglers and how he would fish it for competing. He glanced over his left shoulder and looked at the river for about four seconds. Then, he glanced over his right shoulder for a couple of seconds. In his day, he was one of the best tournament anglers of all time. I got to see that fishing genius in action. Without ever breaking eye contact with me, he described structure he saw up and down the river. His eyes brightened as his fishing strategy developed. He told me where he would make his casts, places he believed hidden logs might be lodged. His weapon-of-choice, of course, was a jig, which I think he would fish in his native – as he calls “Flawida” - in anything from the bottom of the Everglades to a muddy hoofprint. Like Walton says, the two questions you have to solve for a suc-
DNR accepting applications for Blennerhassett Island Hunt By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
Hunters will have a chance this fall to hunt on historic Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park. The controlled deer hunt is slated for Monday, Nov. 5 and Thursday, Nov. 8. The historic island is typically closed to hunting. The Division of Natural Resources manages the island's deer herd and holds special hunts there when the island's deer population becomes too dense. The first such hunt was held in 2001. Other hunts have been held in 2002, 2007 and 2010. The DNR does herd counts periodically on the island. “Based upon survey results, a controlled hunt is needed to maintain the deer population at a level which is more in balance with the habitat conditions on the island,” said WVDNR Director Frank Jezioro. Deer on the island are not normally hunted and the deer population level gets much higher than on the mainland – even if deer do occasionally swim back and forth across the river. Hunting is not permitted on state parks unless under a controlled hunt setting. The excess of deer have caused some problems on the island. When concentrations are high,

cessful day of fishing is “where are the fish and what are they eating?” Understanding the current is the key to understanding fish. Debris floating by on the surface paints a picture of where forage is drifting underneath. Understanding the current is key as fish feed where they can eat the most food while expending the least amount of energy. In deep water, that is a place where slow and fast currents meet. In shallower water, the same principle applies only it is easier to see. Behind a submerged rock is the most obvious. They also might be near some sort of structure where forage fish are hiding despite the current. Just keep your eyes – and mind – open. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
Fishing Report BEECH FORK: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. Call the Beech Fork Corps of Engineers office at (304) 525-4831 for more information. Bass fishing should be hot right now with many hungry bass coming out of the yearly spawning period. Channel catfish may be slower right now as these fish may be guarding nests. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can be caught using white lures. EAST LYNN: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. For more information, call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at (304) 849-9861. Bass will be holding near logs, stumps and fish attracting brush piles. Musky will be found near bush piles and fallen trees. Channel catfish and flatheads may be guarding nests so fishing may be a little slower. Try crappie fishing around standing timber or trees that have fallen into the water. A few walleye have been caught in the lake and tailwater. STEPHENS LAKE: Lake is very clear. To improve the odds of catching fish, use light line, cast far, and reduce noise, fish quietly and carefully. Bass anglers are successful using soft plastics and small crankbaits. Catfish have been recently caught using chicken livers, worms and prepared dip baits. Bass are being caught using wacky rigged worms in various colors at various depths. Also along the Ohio River this year, fishing for black bass (largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass) has been excellent. Bass Anglers are using spinner-baits, rubber worms, jig-and-pig type combos and shad colored crank baits. Largemouth bass are being caught along embayments, and the smallmouth and spots are being taken from the river.

Commissioner upset work on County 4-H Camp has yet to Begin By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
HUNTINGTON – Cabell County Commissioner Bob Bailey expressed his outrage at the Commission's July 12 meeting that work has yet to start to replace the roofs on buildings at the county 4-H camp in Barboursville. At the Commission's June 14 meeting, commissioners voted unanimously to award the contract for roof replacement at the 4-H camp to Built Right Construction Inc. of Salt Rock. Built Right's bid for the project was
$99,000. However, at the Commission's July 12 meeting, Bailey said that as of that day work had yet to begin at the County 4-H Camp. Bailey said that he wanted his vote in awarding the contract to Built Right rescinded and that if work on the project was not completed within 90 days as outlined in the contract, he wanted the county to explore all of its legal options. In other news at the July 12 meeting, commissioners approved a donation agreement in which Wells Fargo Bank N.A. agreed to donate a home and
property at 240 West 8th Avenue in Huntington to the County Commission. The Commission voted to accept the donation of the home and property, and Bailey suggested that the county explore either giving it to the County Animal Shelter, or selling it and giving the proceeds of the sale to the Animal Shelter. “The Animal Shelter is hurting and they could use the funds,” Bailey said. Also at the July 12 meeting, commissioners approved a letter and grant application for $35,747 in WMB/HazMat funds from the
federal Department of Homeland Security. If approved, the grant money would be used for hazardous materials training for the Sheriff's Department in how to handle homes where meth was manufactured. The funds would also be sued to purchase breathing devices to allow Sheriff's Department personnel to safely enter homes where meth had been manufactured. Also at the July 12 meeting, commissioners approved a resolution of support for designating the road into Mountwest Community and Technical College as “Mountwest Way.”
Commissioners also approved a resolution in support of the county's participation in the WVU Extension Service “Summer Steps” walking program. Commissioners also approved a Community Participation Grant of $5,500 for the new TriState Community Dog Park at Ritter Park in Huntington. Commissioners also approved a resolution to begin advertising for a Budget/Financial Analyst for the County Commission. The next meeting of the Cabell County Commission will be July 26 at 10 a.m. at the courthouse in Huntington.

The Singing Shafers bring some Southern Gospel Music to the Fair The Singing Shafers from Crown City, Ohio, have been sharing their style of Southern Gospel Music for close to 50 years and are still going strong. This family ministry began at an early age with Randy, Sue Anne, and "Mom" Gail Shafer, a talented pianist who played for area churches and special occasions. A few years later, the family mastered several instruments such as: piano, guitar, mandolin, banjo, autoharp, fiddle, and harmonica. Over time Randy and Sue Anne have had their own families and careers in Education, and at times, traveled with other groups. In 2007, The Singing Shafers, performing as the brother and sister duo once again, were back on the road ready to share the Gospel, their personal testimony, and years of experience. Randy has become an accomplished vocalist, songwriter, producer, and musician. His song "A Part of Me Is Already There" has become a favorite among Gospel Music fans. In 2008, he captured the title of Ohio State Harmonica Champion. Now, he has established Swan Creek Valley Recording Studio at Crown City, Ohio, where he makes his home and also has a teaching career. Sue Anne retired in 2010 after working thirty-one years as a Library-Media Specialist. She assists Randy in the studio and is dedicated to singing, playing rhythm guitar, and working for God with the family ministry. Sue Anne presently makes her home at Fort Gay, WV. The Singing Shafers have witnessed many lives changed through Gospel Music and have made many wonderful friends throughout their ministry. The family has shared the stage with
many Gospel Greats such as: The Singing Rambos, Wendy Bagwell and the Sunlighters, The Florida Boys, The Gospel Harmony Boys, The Lewis Family, The Primitive Quartet, The Singing Cookes, Kenny Bishop, The Hinsons, The Freemans, The Spencers, and many wonderful Tri-State area Gospel groups. They are members of
the KYOVA Gospel Music Association and are in concert there several times a year. Randy and Sue Anne possess a unique family blend of vocal harmony. They are truly dedicated to this calling that God has placed in their lives. If you like good country folks that love God and Gospel Music, then you'll love The Singing Shafers.

Marlana Vanhoose to McComas Quartet bringing the Good perform National Anthem News of Jesus Christ for 85 Years! during Gospel Night MarlanaVanhoose was born with Cytomeglo virus (CMV), by the time she was a few weeks old it was discovered that she was blind. Her optical nerve never formed. She was not expected to live past one year. But God knew better, He had special plans for Marlana. After Marlana turned a year old her body healed from the virus and that is when it all began. Marlana was humming "Jesus Loves Me" before she talked and by the time she was two years old she taught herself to play the piano. Marlana sings at various churches in Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia. She has sung the Nation Anthem at the Kentucky State Special Olympics held in Richmond, Kentucky as well as at other local area events.

Lyndsey Highlander to sing Saturday, July 28th at Cabell County Fair Like a breath of fresh air, 23year-old Lyndsey Highlander arrived in Nashville from Providence Forge, VA, near the Chickahominy River. From an early age, Lyndsey was known for her precocious musical talents; it was just a matter of time before she would share her gifts with the world. While she grew up with a prolific body of country music, Lyndsey couldn’t help indulge in all genres. She was captivated by the ballads of Celine
Dion, the soulful interpretations of Gavin DeGraw, the Motown melodies of Aretha Franklin and Sam Cooke, and the rocking sounds of Bonnie Raitt, Stevie Nicks, and Aerosmith. Although captivated by all of these singing sensations, Lyndsey has a style all her own! Powered by massive vocal chops, soothing falsettos, and intimate storytelling, Lyndsey is sure to captivate the audience at the 2012 Cabell County Fair. As a live performer, Lyndsey
has been known to mingle with the audience, firing up the crowd and melting their hearts as well. Lyndsey comments, “Performing is indescribable, it’s God’s natural high… I love the music, I love the fans, I love absolutely everything about it!” Lyndsey intends to share her music with fans worldwide. The journey has just begun… and will continue at the 2012 Cabell County Fair.
Andy Griggs takes the stage on July 28! "I'm sick of listening to the news, I'll be honest with you," admits Andy Griggs. And that inspired the idea for his new single "Can I Get an Amen". Andy boldly addresses many of the things plenty of Americans are thinking and feeling, while reminding us of the qualities that have always made this country great. The song and sentiment are perfectly timed for Andy as he embarks upon a bold new chapter in his country career. Following his record deal with the independent Montage Music Group, Andy decided to take some time off and really hone in on where his music needed to go next. He began listening, not only to his own inner artistic voice, but to those of the people closest to him as well. He also began
writing and gathering new songs – from both tried-andtrue writers and fearless, brand new writers as well. In perhaps the boldest move of all, the award-winning artist of hits like "You Won't Ever Be Lonely," "She's More," and "If Heaven," decided to take the wheel at the production console for the first time ever, producing his new CD and in the process hoping to reveal a whole new side of himself to both fans and radio. For Andy, adding producer to his list of credits was a challenge that not only stirred his blood creatively, but fueled his music with a freshness and vitality he'd been longing to capture for some time now. "I really did do this my way this time around." Andy explains.
Not that this Louisiana good ole boy strays too far from the songs and sounds that fans have come to know and love from him. In fact, he pays homage to many of his heroes on record this time around, with nods to Waylon, Hank Sr., and Alabama. A longtime Waylon friend (he & Waylon did a duet "Shine on Me" on Andy's first album "You Won't Ever Be Lonely") and scholar, he tips his hat to the outlaw on "Don't Think Hank Done It This Way," a classic he has performed in concert for years and is his all-time Waylon favorite. Andy also brings in some familiar friends to help on the quiet, introspective Alabama classic, "Lady Down On Love," a song he has also loved and performed live over the years. With his new CD BIPOLAR, Andy shows both sides of himself and has in some ways come full circle with his own music as well. It's been a long road from those early days as a fresh-faced newcomer to the path he's treading now through exciting, new uncharted territory, but he's eager and ready to launch this new chapter in his career, and these songs are just the songs to do it with. Like a sweat-soaked Holy Roller preacher in the last hour of a barn-burner Sunday morning service, he's fired up and feeling the spirit more than ever before in his career. Can I get an Amen?

Bowling Family brings back the feel of “All Night Singings” The Bowling Family combines talent, sincerity and experience to create a memorable concert experience. Their goal for the evening is to usher in the presence of God and celebrate the Christian message. They feel privileged and honored to enjoy the freedom to honor Christ with any and all of their abilities. The trio consists of Mike Bowling and his wife, Kelly and alto Terah Crabb Penhollow. They bring you their stories and songs in a way that is reminiscent of days gone by. To watch them perform reminds us of a time when "all night singings" were the norm, and folks lined up early to visit with the singers and musicians. As in most things, musical styles come full circle. What is old is new, and what is new is old!! Musically, Mike, Kelly and Terah make us realize this. Somehow they have created a sound that is as refreshing as the trio sounds of the early 70s.
Mike has often been referred to as the vocal stylist of the day; however, the completion is so obvious with Kelly and Terah by his side. History will note that they have been true to the excellence of their ability without diminishing or distancing
the listener. Refreshing!!! Sponsors: The Putnam County Bank, Vickie Meehling Insurance, Hampton Inn of Barboursville, and Subway (The Hammond Group), Scragglepop Kettlecorn

92 Cabell Huntington Hospital Nurses receive Specialty Training to Care for Senior Patients
Nearly 150 Geriatric Resource Nurses now trained at CHH HUNTINGTON – Ninetytwo Cabell Huntington Hospital nurses were recently recognized as Geriatric Re-
source Nurses after they completed a specialty training program focused on the care of senior patients over the age of 50. Cabell Huntington Hospital now has nearly 150
nurses who are Geriatric Resource Nurses through the Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders (NICHE) program of the Hartford Institute for Geriatric Nursing at New York
University College of Nursing. Thursday’s ceremony honored nurses from several hospital departments and included the Home Health Department, Emergency Department and Intensive Care Unit. Several hospital departments are nearing 100 percent of nurses who have this specialty certification. The first class of 56 Geriatric Resource Nurses completed their studies in September 2011. “The aging of America has created a dynamic and changing perspective on aging and it has created a new challenge for those of us who provide healthcare,” said Joy Pelfrey, RN, MSN, FNP, Director of the Senior Services Department at Cabell Huntington Hospital. “These nurses we recognize today now have a specific knowledge and skill set required to provide care that is safe, effective and of the highest-quality for our senior patients. Providing this
level of care demonstrates the caring attitude our nurses have for our older patients.” Cabell Huntington Hospital is on the leading edge of senior care after first establishing the Senior Services Department in 2003 and then in 2006 becoming the only facility in West Virginia and the Huntington/TriState region to achieve NICHE certification for being dedicated and committed to improving the quality of care for older adults. Cabell Huntington Hospital is a 313-bed academic medical center located in Huntington, West Virginia. Cabell Huntington cares for patients from more than 29 counties throughout West Virginia, eastern Kentucky and southern Ohio. Opened in 1956, it is a teaching hospital and is affiliated with Marshall University Schools of Medicine and Nursing.
