District Governor makes Official Visit to the Barboursville Lions Club BARBOURSVILLE -- Lions District 29-O District Governor Donna Pinkerman made her official visit to the Barboursville Lions Club on July 10, 2012. Having attended the Lions International Convention in Busan, Korea, the Governor came to the Barboursville Lions Club with greeting from new International President Wayne A. Madden, of Auburn, Indiana, USA. Governor Pinkerman’s slogan for this year is “GET’ER DONE.’ The governor has a daunting task of working to increase membership in District 29-O. Her goals for the year include increasing membership in each club in the district by a net of one, to in-

crease family membership in each club, to extend Lionism in at

least two communities, to have each club do a special project for

“One Shot-One Life, to eradicate measles around the world, and to have an increase of fellowship between clubs by visitation and possible joint club projects.

Club president, Lion Charlie Buzzard, indicated to the District Governor and those in attendance that one of his goals for the year is to win the District Governor’s Award.

The Barboursville Lions Club currently has 42 members. However, the club will continue to seek out new members who are interested in serving their community.

To learn more about the club, go to its website: e-clubhouse.o rg.sites/Barboursville.

Program offers help to Problem Gamblers The Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia, the program that operates the statewide 1-800-GAMBLER help-line for problem gamblers and their loved ones, is offering a support group in Teays Valley to help individuals struggling with a gambling addiction.

The agency, in conjunction with Fred Clark, offers therapy group sessions for one and a half hours a week for the duration of three months. Clark, a longtime mental health therapist and Nationally Certified Gambling Counselor, will facilitate the group.

Through the 11 years of operating the 1-800-Gambler helpline, the Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia has received nearly 10,000 calls from problem gamblers and their loved ones. One of the main reasons Teays Valley was

chosen as a site for this type of treatment is the helpline receives many calls from the Cabell, Kanawha, and Putnam county areas. Kathleen O'Neil, coordinator of this project for the Problem Gamblers Help Network of West Virginia said, "Teays Valley is in close proximity of where we receive calls from this three-county area."

Anyone who thinks they or a loved one may have a gambling problem is urged to call 1-800GAMBLER to find out more.

Velma’s View

By Velma Kitchens

Central Elementary School It is a snowy Saturday and I am not out doing my usual chores today and I was thinking about the snows we had when I was a child.

The snow was no big deal because it snowed all winter. I was also thinking about school and a teacher named Bernard Tincher who taught at Central Elementary out Route 34 south across from Turkey Creek. Mrs. Mercer also taught there.

Now some of you may not know where Turkey Creek is, but I challenge you to go out Turkey Creek to see some of the most beautiful country sights you will ever see.

If you hang a left in the curve you will be on Lick Creek which will take you back to Route 60 half-way to St. Albans.

My suggestion if you do go, take a native, not a GPS. Anyway, I attended Central Elementary School off and on for several years. I do remember first grade with Mrs. Mercer. She was a good teacher. She treated us well. I recall an assignment of poetry recitation she gave us. We were to recite the poem to her in a couple of days.

The next day I had learned the poem and recited it word for word. I think she was shocked. Since I loved poetry I had no problem learning it overnight.

My sister Retha and my Aunt Claudia both attended. They are 2 years older than I. Yes, my Mom and my Grandmother had children 3 months apart. Claudia always seemed more like a cousin than an Aunt.

Some of the students I remember are: Annie Sheets and her sister, Darlene Henderson, Doretta Womack and her sisters. F.D. Searls, Diane Johnson, John Tincher, Peggy Maynard and a whole bunch of others.

We all had good times at Central Elementary School. J R Young and his wife Nellie owned a small store across the road from the school.

Every Friday afternoon we were allowed to go to the store. We felt rich when we had 50 cents to spend on candy. Fifty cents would by 50 pieces of candy. I hope some of you all remember when candy was a penny.

I am becoming more like my parents. When I was a child they would talk about people in their past and I did not care one bit who they were or what they did. Now that I am older I realize memories are precious.

Mr. Tincher made us learn our multiplication tables in 5th or 6th grade. He would sit in a chair by the stove in the back of the classroom and recite the multiplication table. If we listened carefully, we could hear the other students say theirs and we could learn from them.

Ken Hechler came to the school and the older children knew who he was. I didn’t know who he was and what he did. I know now.

Central Elementary was a little school with teachers with big hearts.

I have other stories to tell, but for now I will stop.

My very first day of school was in Pennsylvania, but that is another story.

“Children always remember how you treat them.”

Cabell County Unemployment Rate up to 6.7 Percent

By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

HUNTINGTON – Cabell County's unemployment rate rose to 6.7 percent in June, according to data released recently

by WorkForce West Virginia.

While up one-tenth of a percent from May, Cabell County's unemployment rate remained below the state average of 7 percent.

Overall, in June, unemployment climbed in 23 counties in West Virginia, while 25 counties reported falling unemployment rates. Seven counties reported

no change.

The counties with the lowest unemployment rates were Jefferson (5.2 percent), Monongalia (5.2 percent), Monroe (5.8 percent) and Putnam (5.8 percent).

The counties with the highest unemployment rates were Boone (12.2 percent), Webster (11.9 percent) and Mason (11.1 percent).

Statewide, West Virginia’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate inched upward one-tenth of a percentage point to 7 percent in June. The number of unemployed state residents rose 1,100 to 56,600. Total unemployment

was down 7,600 over the year.

The national unemployment rate was unchanged at 8.2 percent.

Total nonfarm payroll employment declined 1,200, with losses of 800 in the goods producing sector and 400 in the service-providing sector.

Within the goods-producing sector, employment declines included 600 in construction and 200 in mining and logging. Manufacturing employment was unchanged.

Within the service-providing sector, employment declines included 800 in leisure and hospitality, 600 in

trade, transportation, and utilities, and 200 in financial activities.

Employment gains included 600 in professional and business services, 400 in government, and 200 in other services.

Employment in educational and health services was unchanged over the month.

Since June 2011, total nonfarm payroll employment has risen 10,600, where a gain of 12,400 in the service-providing sector easily offset a decline of 1,800 in the goods-producing sector.

Employment gains included

8,100 in government, with the bulk of the increase in the local sector, 3,400 in educational and health services, 2,500 in construction, 2,000 in professional and business services, 1,200 in leisure and hospitality, and 100 in other services.

Employment declines included 2,700 in mining and log2,400 in trade, ging, transportation, and utilities, 1,600 in manufacturing, and 300 in financial activities.

West Virginia’s not seasonally adjusted unemployment rate remained at 7.3 percent of the civilian labor force in June 2012.

New exhibit highlights history of state’s oil and gas industry SUBMITTED ARTICLE CHARLESTON — The West Virginia Division of Culture and History unveiled a new exhibit, “The Oil and Gas Industry: West Virginia’s Gift to the World,” on Friday at the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex in Charleston.

Other items on display include a vintage Pennzoil gas-station sign, wooden and glass oil cans, drilling tools and a double-piston oil pump, all from the collections of the West Virginia State Museum, the State Archives, the Oil and Gas Museum in Parkersburg, and Columbia Gas.

Admission is free.

Remembering Andy Hansroth,outdoors writer

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

I was a teenager in the mid1990s, when the U.S. House of Representatives passed a big gun-control measure. According to the newspaper accounts, when the announcement came, the entire Charleston

Gazette staff cheered – except for one guy, Andy Hansroth, the outdoors writer.

An argument ensued, which was entire Gazette staff vs.

Andy Hansroth, which culminated in Andy and James A. Haught writing opposing columns on gun-control.

That Gazette debate caused quite a flurry – my pro-SecondAmendment father cancelled our Gazette subscription and some 20 years later, still no issues are allowed in his house. I learned, as I'm sure Andy did, the news media overall – especially in larger markets - is pretty liberal.

It's good to know that there is a place in that world for good old boys like Andy and me.

Andy could be Grizzard-like at times. He had a wit I always enjoyed. His West Virginia Encyclopedia article on hunting dogs begins “Since the human nose is virtually worthless...”

John A. “Andy” Hansroth was

born in 1959 in the Eastern Panhandle and was the Gazette's outdoors writer for many years. Whether it was gun control, deer farming, mountaintop removal, Andy called his shots exactly as he saw them. He could be tough on the DNR, something I've never seen any reason to be myself, but what he truly believed, he said. I have always respected that.

When chronic-wastingdisease was first discovered in Hampshire County about 10 years ago, Andy came down hard on deer farming, as did I. There was, however, one key difference between us, I was the outdoors writer at the state's 6th largest newspaper and he was at West Virginia's largest. What he wrote often got national attention.

Andy was always getting ripped by the gun-control crowd, deer farmers and a host of other people who didn't

Outdoors Roundup: New Sport Fish Poster Available

By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

aThe West Virginia Division of Natural Resources recently made a sport-fish identification poster available for free.

The poster features paintings of game fish found in West Virginia. It was produced by the DNR's Wildlife Resources Section, said Frank Jezioro, DNR director.

“We’ve published this poster in response to many outdoor enthusiasts who have been asking for something like this for a while,” said Jezioro. “The fish illustrations have been printed on the back of our fishing regulations for years, but the images on this poster are much larger and clearer. I’m told many people who have received the posters have framed them and hung them on their office or recreation room walls.”

The color poster features warmwater and coldwater fish species. Fish enthusiasts can go to the DNR website and print the poster in either letter size or 11-by- 17-inch sizes. To print a copy, go to www.wvdnr.gov and click on “Sport Fish Identification Poster” under the Fishing

heading.

Already printed 18-by-24 inch posters are also available for free. They can be picked up at state parks, DNR district offices or an 11-by-17 inch poster can be mailed. To obtain a copy, call (304) 558-2771 or write: WVDNR, 324 Fourth Avenue, South Charleston WV 25303.

Special Antlerless Hunt Applications Accepted The West Virginia DNR is now accepting applications for limited-permit antlerless hunting at several wildlife management areas, said Curtis I. Taylor, DNR Wildlife Resources chief.

“These limited permit areas provide antlerless deer hunting opportunities in counties or areas of the state where wildlife biologists have determined that limited numbers of antlerless deer permits are necessary to meet management objectives,” Taylor said.

Three Wildlife Management Areas (Calvin Price State Forest, Elk River and Upper Mud River), National Forest Land in Tucker County and five counties or portions thereof (Clay, Fayette, Nicholas, Pocahontas and Webster) will have a limited number of Class N licenses for resident and Class

NN licenses for non-resident antlerless deer hunting from October 25-27 on private land only and November 19 through December 1, December 13-15 and December 28 through December 31 on private and public land.

Applications must be received by the DNR by August 24. The 2012 limited antlerless deer season will provide an opportunity for 650 residents and non-residents to participate on the three WMAs and national forest land in Tucker County. An additional 1,500 residents and non-residents will be selected to hunt antlerless deer in the five counties (Clay, Fayette, Nicholas, Pocahontas and Webster) that are restricted to antlerless deer hunting.

For more information on antlerless deer season dates and bag limits, consult the 2012-2013 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary, which is available from West Virginia hunting and fishing license agents, DNR offices and online at www.wvdnr.gov .

These applications may be downloaded from the DNR’s Web page at www.wvdnr.gov under the “Hunting/Main Page” heading.

agree with what he had to say.

You can still find some surviving anti-Hansroth releases online from various people going after something Andy had written. My favorite example is a religious article – and this was posted just this year – that calls Andy a “Charlton-Heston clone” and “High bishop in the hunting hierarchy.”

I don't know if Andy ever realized that some kid would be reading his stuff and think “I want to do that someday.” I was such a kid. I sometimes think about Andy when I write about the outdoors. I wish I had gotten to meet him. I wish I could call him up right now and tell him what an inspiration he was to me, but I can't.

A father of three and only 45, Andy died in 2005 as a result of an operation by a doctor with very questionable credentials and Andy's case was one of many in a flurry of malpractice lawsuits against him. There ap-

parently was a settlement reached in that case last year, which, of course, doesn't bring Andy back or write the many things that have remained unwritten.

What's sad to me is that Andy's writings are not readily available today – at least not freely on the Internet. I wasn't able to find any of his books for sale anywhere and I can only find one of his outdoors columns that can be read without using a credit card. That's a shame, because it’s hard for a writer's memory to live on if his words aren't readily available.

But I remember Andy Hansroth. It's hard to forget somebody who inspired you to write a column every week for more than a decade.
