“Summer Days, Country Ways” is the theme for the 2012 Cabell County Fair, and if you’ve never spent a day at the Fair, this is THE year to come!

The 2012 Cabell County Fair officially opened its gates on Monday July 23rd to an evening filled with pretty young ladies vying for the title of Cabell County Fair Queen and Cabell County Fair Teen Queen. While, the 4-H/FFA Livestock Judging Contest was held at 7:30 p.m.

Throughout the years, Cabell County Fair Board members have worked hard to bring a variety of entertainment, games, food, contests, a carnival, and

much more to Milton for Fair week… and 2012 proves to be

no exception.

Even more than these events,

FAIR FROM PAGE 1 Fair from beginning to end is the 4-H/FFA Livestock shows and sales. Often times, fairgoers get caught up in the ‘fun’ side of the Fair… but, children work hard all year long to get their animals ready for show.

And believe me, it is well worth a trip to the livestock area, just to see how well these kids handle their animals and how well they conduct themselves – no matter their ages.

Tuesday evening marked the night for the Children’s Pageant.

From newborn to 24 months, these ‘handsome guys’ and ‘beautiful girls’ melted hearts as they participated in this special event where the ‘littlest’ were carried to the stage by Mommy, Daddy (or maybe Grandma or Grandpa). Then, it was time for the ‘big’ boys and girls to timidly step to the center stage.

Over the years, there have been many children who run ‘full-

speed’ across the stage, simply wanting to get through the competition, change clothes, and head out to enjoy the Fair themselves. But no matter how they get to the stage – or how fast they get across it - they are certainly a delight to watch.

“Motor” events scheduled throughout the week included Motocross on Tuesday, Mini Car Demolition Derby on Wednesday, and the Big Car Demolition Derby on Saturday evening.

Plus, if you’re one that loves the sounds and smells of gears burnin’, watching some guys (and maybe some girls) slingin’ mud, then Saturday the 28th, beginning at noon, will be your day at the fair as the MUD BOG gets underway. This event has proven to be one of the most favorite among fair-goers year-toyear.

Some great entertainment is scheduled during the Fair with

The Cabell County Fair Idol Contest being held at 7 pm on Wednesday.

A favorite ‘tradition’ of the Cabell County Fair is Thursday’s GOSPEL NIGHT. Always offering several gospel groups and individuals, 2012 Gospel Night will once again exceed your expectations.

You won’t want to forget that the Draft Horse Pull starts at 7 pm on Thursday, too.

Friday night is the night for the 4-H/FFA kids - as buyers from all across the area meet at 7 p.m. at the Show Ring - to purchase some of the best ‘Fair’ livestock around. So, why not make plans to come out on Friday night and support these hard-working youngsters.

While at the sale, you may hear some engines revving as the Tractor Pull begins at 7:00 as well.

And Friday is LOCAL ENTER-

TAINMENT night.

Saturday will see many ‘games’ for the kids – sponsored by the Jr. Fair Board; a Pie Bakeoff, the 4-H Auction Fundraiser and at 6 pm, the Cabell County Fair Idol Contest Winner will take to the stage!

Also on Saturday, Lyndsey Highlander and Andy Griggs will be the closing night’s special entertainment. Lyndsey will take the stage at 7:00 with Andy scheduled to perform at 8:30.

Topping off the evening, at 10:30, will be FIREWORKS sponsored by Ohio Valley Bank.

You’ll not want to miss any of Saturday’s events - for the young and the young-at-heart, there’s something for everybody to enjoy.

So plan to go and see for yourself - because we all know that “Summer Days (and) Country Ways” makes for a great 2012 Cabell County Fair!

The Cabell Standard

Eight Cabell County Businesses honored for Exporting STAFF REPORT CHARLESTON – Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin presented the Governor’s Commendation for International Market Entry on Thursday, June 28, to representatives of 49 West Virginia businesses, including eight from Cabell County.

The award honors companies that have successfully exported to a new country in the past year.

The Cabell County businesses that were honored were Becker/SMC of Huntington, Guyan International of Barboursville, JABO Supply Corporation of Huntington, Nippon Tungsten USA of Bar-

boursville, Richwood Industries of Huntington, Steel of West Virginia Inc. of Huntington, Sulzer Pumps of Barboursville, and Tri-State Coating & Machine Company of Salt Rock.

Tomblin joined the West Virginia Export Council and the West Virginia Development Office to commend the West Virginia companies.

“Our export performance continues to be a source of pride for our state and strength in our economy,” said Tomblin. “International trade and investment create and retain jobs in West Virginia. In 2011, West Virginia exports in-

creased 39.5 percent, the highest export growth rate of any state in the nation. I thank our exporting companies for their efforts and congratulate them on their success.”

The Governor’s Commendation for International Market Entry includes framed currency from each new country to which the recipient business began exporting in 2011.

The presentation is based on the tradition of displaying the first dollar a business earns.

The 49 companies being honored this year matches the number of companies recognized last year.

FAIR FROM PAGE 1 Christian can and should vote for a Mormon in 2012."

The book was published earlier this month and is available in both digital and traditional print versions.

Hale said that he started working on the book last year, even before former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Mormon, was identified as the Republican nominee for president in 2012.

“I started out writing a book on a Godly society,” Hale said.

“Once I started to do it, I took that idea and developed it.”

At the same time as he was writing about a Godly society, Hale said that he viewed topical current events such as the ongoing presidential election through that prism.

“From a Catholic, Lutheran and Protestant position there is good Biblical, historical, and moral reason to support a Mormon this election. Doctrinally we stand together on this issue,” Hale said. “We are not voting on a new pastor or evangelical mandate of scripture. We are voting on the cultural mandate of scripture that in turn allows all Christians and all people to worship within their own conviction."

While making the argument that Christian voters should support Mitt Romney in the

“President Obama does claim to be a Christian,” Hale said, “But many of his decisions don't reflect Christianity or Christian values. They reflect Communism which is based on an atheist view.”

Hale's book just came out this month, and he said that so far he has not received a lot of feedback, positive or negative.

He said that even though his book makes an argument in favor of Christian's supporting Romney for president, he has not tried to contact the Republican candidate for president.

In addition to being a newspaper columnist and writer, Hale is a teacher of Reformed theology and currently serves as a teaching elder at Oakridge Bible Church in Charleston.

He lives in St. Albans with his wife, Cindy, and the couple has three grown daughters.

"Why a Christian can and should vote for a Mormon in 2012” is available now through Amazon.com, and should be available locally at area book stores in the coming weeks, Hale said.

The electronic Kindle and Nook editions of the book are $5, while the softcover print edition is $9.99.

He was a young man.

The tree had grown and so did Ruben.

He thought of all the fun times he had under the tree and had ran, laughed and played with is dog around the tree.

He remembered birthday parties under the tree with friends and family. He really loved the tree.

One day Ruben went away to school. He said goodbye to his mom and dad and of course his dog. His dog was older now and not able to run around the tree like he used to, but he was still under the tree.

Rubensawhowmuchhismomanddadlovedhimashedroveawaytocollege. He would return for holidays and special days to see his family Itwasn’tlongaftRubenleftforcollegethathisdogdiedpeacefullyinhissleep.

Ruben was sad, but the cycle of life for his dog had ended. He missed his dog, but death was part of life.

Ruben graduated from college and began working for the Parks Services as an environmental protection officer. He would make sure that the Parks in his statewouldbekeptcleanandsafeforallthetrees,streams,fishandwildlife.He learned a lot in college about the well-being of the environment. He loved his work. He would return home and find his tree still tall and still growing. Memories flooded his mind every time he saw it.

Ruben met a young girl and they married. She gave birth to a baby boy.

Ruben was so happy. He planted a tree in his front yard, just as his mom and dadhaddoneforhim.Hewantedtokeepthetraditiongoing.Whenhissonwas old enough to understand, Ruben told him how the tree in grandma and grandpa’s yard was planted and the story behind it.

Thanks for all the Elk

David Payne Sr.

Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

I saw a very interesting article in the West Virginia Division of Natural Resource's magazine last week.

The magazine, West Virginia Wildlife, is a quarterly publication of the DNR. In the summer 2012 issue, there's an article on elk management in West Virginia, which for me is quite topical, since I wrote a column about elk management a few weeks ago.

The article was written by Gary Foster, who is the DNR's chief of game management – the guy basically in charge of the elk-management efforts.

Back when I was an outdoors

writer for a daily newspaper, I paid close attention to the elk situation as soon as we realized we had elk, which had just showed up. I developed a good understanding of what the elk management plan would be and how that plan evolved from numerous interviews over several years. In the article, Foster outlines the plan very similar to the way I did in my column – elk used to live in West Virginia, but we killed them all, now they're back and we'll manage an elk herd in the southern coalfields.

However, there is one difference between our two pieces and it's a big one.

Foster writes “In 1972, the then West Virginia Department of Natural Resources conducted its first elk reintroduction feasibility study. In 2005, the Division of Natural Resources, with funding provided by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, completed another study...”

But oh my! There is a major can of worms between those two sentences.

What Foster doesn't mention is that in that 1972 study, the state of West Virginia studied elk reintroduction and concluded that they would be a lot more trouble than they are worth, primarily because of potential for crop damage and motorists' safety. If you think a deer can do a lot of dam-

age to the front of your car, try hitting an elk sometime. Another 1972 concern – which doesn't apply now – was that the deer population had not yet been restored.

But Kentucky made the decision for us. They reintroduced elk there and stacked them right along the West Virginia border.

The elk, unaware of the conclusions of our 1972 study, walked on over in search of greener pastures.

When the elk finally showed up a few years ago, the West Virginia DNR biologists I talked to knew exactly how we'd be managing the herd. The minute Kentucky stocked elk in 1997, they began working on their game plan.

What Foster's article represents to me is an acceptance of what amounts to Kentucky's decision to stock elk in West Virginia as water under the bridge.

States do have disagreements and take action to resolve them.

In the early years of this country, they could actually go to war with one another, which almost happened a few times – the reason Michigan has its Upper Peninsula was an appeasement in a disagreement with Ohio over who owned Toledo that almost led to a war between them – and did happen during the Civil War. After the Civil War, all those arguments have gone to court instead. Settling such disagreements is the

Project restores Brook-Trout Spawning Area

By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources has completed a project with private enterprise to restore brook trout spawning in the Beaver Fork of the Shaver's Fork River.

The project restores access for the Shaver's Fork brook trout to Beaver Creek for spawning, said DNR director Frank Jezioro.

“For the first time in 25 years, brook trout in the Shaver's Fork main stem can move upstream into Beaver Creek to their critical tributary spawning areas,” Jezioro said.

Shaver's Fork is unique in that it is a big-river brook trout fishery.

For more than a century, the stream has suffered the effects of progress, such as railroad construction and logging that have harmed brook trout habitat. The DNR has enlisted the help of West

Virginia University research scientists, stream-restoration experts from the Canaan Valley Institute, and railroad construction specialists from Trakspec Railroad Corporation.

The team designed and built a fish-friendly system of culverts and passages, to eliminate obstructions that had blocked brook trout's access to Beaver Creek for spawning. They converted these obstacles to a fish-friendly section of stream with a complex of culverts – the centerpiece of which is a partially-buried 10-foot culvert with a simulated stream channel inside.

Midway through the project, a major design change was required to provide a design that could be easily adapted to other streams.

“The most impressive thing for me,” said DNR Program Manager Steve Brown “was the way the team pivoted to an entirely new design and pulled together to build such a high-quality project.

Major thanks to the guys at CONTECH Construction Products who located a 10-foot culvert for us in a matter of hours and had it on site in three days.”

Jezioro said the project will serve as a model for future transportation culvert replacements because it complies with all current and proposed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements for fish passage through culverts.

The effort was part of the DNR's expansion of its Acid Stream Restoration Project, where the DNR has previously worked with private partners to reduce acidity of streams and make them more habitable for trout.

Recently, the program has expanded to include physical habitat restoration, thanks in part to new grant funding from congressional appropriations and the Eastern Brook Trout JointVenture.

primary reason the Supreme Court even exists. States can and do sue other states – West Virginia was involved in one such landmark Supreme Court case, Virginia vs. West Virginia in the 1870s.

Of course, I'm not a legal expert, if I were, I'd probably be out lawyering and not writing newspaper columns. However, I believe that Kentucky is liable for the cost of managing this elk herd it has bestowed on us. It will be a long time before elk-hunting permits will even remotely pay for it.

While I suspect elk isn't something you'd make a literal Supreme Court case of, but at the very least you'd think the DNR would be saying Kentucky really pulled one over on us.

But that's not what we're saying. Foster's article – which would have needed to have been approved by the DNR higher-ups to run in the agency's official magazine – shows class. It says: these were the cards we were dealt.

We're not even going to say that Kentucky dealt them to us from the bottom of the deck. All we are saying is we have elk and this is what we are going to do with them. That, dear reader, is class.

The 2005 study concluded that the best habitat for Elk was in the Ohio Valley, but we don't want them there because of high automobile traffic and the high num-

ber of farms where elk could cause serious crop damage. The worst habitat in the whole state was the southern coalfields, but that's exactly where we're going to keep them. There were some other areas where elk would be acceptable, such as Roane, Wirt, and the eastern Highland counties (such as Pendelton) but to get there, they'd have to go through someplace we don't want them, namely the Kanawha Valley and the Beckley area.

The DNR will try to keep the elk contained in portions of Boone, Lincoln, Wayne counties and the entirety of Logan, McDowell, Wyoming and Mingo counties.

While I wish we could have made the decision ourselves, I am happy the elk are back in West Virginia. I grew up on the bank of the Elk River and often imagined the days of roaming elk when I was a boy. God put them here and we killed them all. It's a major wrong that is righted.

But they will cause problems.

The DNR will try to keep elk in the coalfields, but ultimately, they'll find their way elsewhere, even in places where we don't want them.

This is a story that will be playing out for decades.

Fishing Report Compiled by David Payne Sr. Lower Ohio and Kanawha Rivers: Fishing should be excellent. Jigs with minnows could provide some excellent catches of sauger, white bass, hybrid striped bass and freshwater drum. If artificial baits are your preference white and chartreuse are good colors to try. Blue, flathead and channel catfish activity is picking up.

Guyandotte, Coal, Poca, Elk and Mud rivers: Flows are low but local conditions will vary with the current spotty but strong storms that have been passing through.

Stephens Lake: Lake is very clear. Catfish have been caught on chicken livers, worms and dip baits.

Beech Fork: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. Anglers should call the Beech Fork U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office at (304) 525-4831 for more information. Bass fishing may be slowing now with hot day time temperatures. Try fishing early in the morning or near dusk to beat the heat, channel catfish will be actively feeding during this time as well. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can be caught using white lures.

East Lynn: Lake is at summer pool, but muddy from recent storm events. For more information call the corps' recorded message at 304849-9861. 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 will be good throughout the day. 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.
