Cabell County School Administrator to be Remembered while raising Awareness for Pancreatic Cancer HUNTINGTON, WV - The community is cordially invited to show their support for Pancreatic Cancer Awareness, Saturday, July 14, 2012 at the Sherry Shumaker Memorial Pancreatic Cancer 5K Walk. This is the inaugural year for the “Sherry Shumaker Memorial Pancreatic Cancer 5K Walk” and was developed in an effort to raise awareness for Pancreatic Cancer and to remember Sherry L. Shumaker, a Cabell County School Administrator and teacher who died in 2010 from the disease.

Pancreatic Cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Pancreatic cancer is a leading cause of cancer death largely because there are no detection tools to diagnose the disease in its early stages when surgical removal of the tumor is still possible. This year, 43,920 people will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in the United States, and 37,390 will die from the disease.

Sherry Shumaker was an educator and administrator in the Cabell County school system. A

lifelong resident and lover of all things West Virginia, she attended Marshall University for her Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees before teaching English there.

She taught at many schools in Cabell County. She was a Vice Principal at Cabell Midland High School and finished her career at Huntington Middle as a reading teacher. She played an integral role in shaping the lives of countless young people and is missed by all who knew her.

Registration for this 5K Walk

has already begun, but will start in person at 8:30 am on July, 14, 2012. The Walk will begin at 9 am. Registration is $18 before and $25 the day of the Walk.

Debbie’s Poetry Corner

By Debra J. Harmes-Kurth

Send your poetry to Debra Harmes-Kurth 1042 Pike Street • Milton,WV 25541 It can be a nerve wracking experience waiting to hear back from an editor after you have sent your poetry for possible publication. Have you ever wondered what is taking him or her so long? I can tell you from personal experience that putting together any publication can be a long drawn out affair, depending of course on how many other writers submitted poems for consideration. If you sent a selfaddressed, stamped envelope nine out of ten editors will let you know something as soon as they have made a decision, so be patient. Some editors could ask you to make a few revisions; you will have to decide if that is something that you are willing to do. If you feel that the revisions compromise the intent of your poem you do not have to make the changes. If you don’t understand why the revisions were suggested ask questions. I have made some wonderful friends in the give and take of the editing process. Just remember be openminded and willing to consider his or her suggestions. If you decide you do not want to make the changes, thank the editor for his time and consideration and send that poem out again. Not all poems are right for all publications, don’t get discouraged.

Until next time keep writing.

You can send your submissions to the above address or email me at cabellputnamstandardpo-

Oh Bluebird, with your faded red vest Feathered coat of blue as the sky ~ Winter’s essence sensed, a journey planned Your last song was sung, as goodbye ~ Oh Bluebird, patiently I pier heavens high Treetops south I know you rest ~ So please forget not, your far away home Your beauty is missed, presence blessed ~ Oh Bluebird, imagined, a vision, a glimpse Your songs through my shutter, still ring ~ A worn wooden box, a home empty still Will you ever come home to sing ~ Oh Bluebird, with shadows so tiny and faint Fluttered greetings from a branch, you now bring ~ A worn wooden box, now a nest of blue Welcome home, my little usher of spring ~ Ella Woodall, Ohio

The information collected for the registry is secure and will only be given to public safety agencies, Ayers said.

The type of information collected includes name, address, gender, special equipment needs, transportation needs, health issues, mobility needs, allergies and prescriptions.

Sign up is easy and can be done by filling out an online application, or by calling the Cabell-Huntington Health Department.

At the Senior Center, Ayers also brought forms that residents could fill out to be added to the registry.

“This helps you get back to your everyday life, if there was an emergency,” Ayers said.

And while Ayers was speaking to a group of seniors at the Barboursville Senior Center, she stressed that the registry was for anyone with special needs regardless of age.

She said in the fall, when students begin to return to school, the Health Department will work with Cabell County schools to let students know about the registry as well.

“This is for anyone with special needs,” she said, “So if you have a loved one, or know a neighbor, that requires special attention, let them know about this registry.”

Humanities Council Commemorates 1812 Marshall Expedition CHARLESTON, WV - In 1812 John Marshall led a 227-mile expedition over the Allegheny Mountains to seek a canal route between Richmond and the Ohio River. The trip was all the more remarkable because Marshall was Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court at the time.

The Humanities Council is celebrating the bicentennial of the pioneering survey with lectures in Fayette and Summers counties, both of which are on Marshall’s route. In honor of this important exploration into the

Mountain State, Ranger Frank Sellers of the New River Gorge National River will give two presentations of “The John Marshall Expedition: An 1812 Survey through the Virginias.” Sellers has researched the expedition and will incorporate a power point presentation using images and notes from the original survey map made during the expedition and from Marshall’s report to the General Assembly of Virginia.

The year 2012 marks the 25th anniversary of her signature work, Storming Heaven, about the beginnings of the West Virginia mine wars. The book won the Weatherford Award and was a Discovery Selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club.

The Little Lecture Series wraps up for the year on June 24 with a talk by Giardina about Storming Heaven and her writing over the last 25 years. The program begins at 2:00 p.m. at the MacFarland-Hubbard House, headquarters of the West Virginia Humanities Council, located at 1310 Kanawha Boulevard East in Charleston. Admission is $10 and includes a reception after the program.

Giardina set her books Storming Heaven (1987) and The Unquiet Earth (1992) in the coalfields of southern West Virginia and eastern Kentucky. Both won the Weatherford Award for books about the Appalachian South. Unquiet Earth also received an American Book Award and the Lillian Smith Award. Giardina received the Fisk Fiction Prize for her book Saints and Villains (1998), and the Lillie Chafin Award for Appalachian Writing.

Giardina was born in Bluefield and grew up in a coal camp in McDowell County. She lives in Charleston and is writer-in-residence at West Virginia State University. In addition to her writing, she is well known for her activism on behalf of social justice and environmental issues and is an ordained Episcopal deacon.

Sellers will also present his program at 7:00 PM in the courtroom of the Summers County Courthouse in Hinton on September 28, two hundred years to the day that the expedition party spent the night at Hinton. The Summers County Historical Society will provide refreshments following the program. Both events are free, and the public is cordially invited to attend.

The Marshall Expedition traveled by batteau, poling up the James and Jackson rivers to Covington before hauling the boat by wagon over the mountains to Caldwell, near Lewisburg. The 20-man survey party floated, dragged, and lined the heavy wooden boat down the Greenbrier and New rivers, finally rattling out of New River Gorge to end their journey at Kanawha Falls on October 9. For many years the cliffs at Hawks Nest were known as Marshall’s Pillars in honor of the trip. Marshall

University is also named for the Chief Justice.

John Marshall wrote the expedition report to the General Assembly and was optimistic about the potential for a trade route along these rivers. However, the War of 1812 took precedence over the need for internal improvements. Ultimately the expedition proved prophetic, as the path they followed provided much of the route for the Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad and Interstate 64.

will accomplish in her new role.”

The AMA Foundation works to maximize the philanthropic impact of the medical community by uniting and organizing physicians across the country for various projects. Norcott will attend her first national meeting as an ambassador later this summer.

Fishing Made in America

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

There was a day when American anglers fished for American fish with American-made reels, American made lures, Americanmade fishing line and drove to the stream in – you guessed it – American-made cars.

Today, however, it seems virtu-

ally every fishing rod has a “made in China” reel on the end of it.

Americans have had an innate desire to fish since prehistoric times and the European settlers brought their own fishing traditions with them when they arrived on America's shores.

Americans have designed some of the world's most innovative lures, some of them rivaled only

by Finland's Lauri Rapala.

There was a time when America's factories churned out millions of reels. Those days are over and it's nobody's fault but our own. As a society, we crave goods that are cheap, even if they are disposable instead of more expensive things made here that are meant to last a lifetime. People want $15 reels. The only way you can make a $15 is to make it in China. That's the reality of it.

Of those millions of Americanmade reels, many are in landfills, but others are stored away in garages, basements and attics.

Fishing report Beech Fork: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. 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 begin to enter the nesting season. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can be caught using white lures. Anglers should call the Beech Fork Corps of Engineers office at (304) 525-4831 for more information.

East Lynn: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. 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 are beginning to spawn so fishing may be slower than usual. 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. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at 304849-9861.

Stephens Lake: Lake is very clear.

To improve the odds of catching fish, use light line, cast far, reduce noise, fish quietly and carefully. Bass anglers are successful using soft plastics and small crankbaits. Livers and nightcrawlers work well for catfish bait, as do a variety of paste and prepared type baits offered at sporting goods stores.

Lower Ohio and Kanawha rivers: As the water in the tailwaters begins to clear the fishing for sauger, walleye, white bass and hybrid striped bass will start to pick up. Jigs with minnows could provide some excellent catches; if artificial baits are your preference white and chartreuse are good colors to try. Blue, flathead and channel catfish activity is picking up as the water continues to warm.This is an excellent time to fish Ohio River tailwaters. Anglers fishing below the Belleville dam are catching white bass, hybrid striped bass and a few other species. Lead headed jigs with twister tails (white or chartreuses), which are fished along the bottom, are the lure of choice. Clever anglers are tipping their jig hooks with minnows. Fishing for white bass can be quite good this time of year and medium-sized white spinners work well. Hybrid striped bass are being caught on the surface, and agitator bobbers and large surface plugs work well for these top water feeders. Best spots to fish these areas include eddies and back-current sections, and anywhere that river flows are unusual. Fishing along the Willow Island tailwaters is restricted due to hydro-power development.

Anglers now have access only to a point approximately 150 yards below the dam and flows have changed significantly.

Also along the Ohio River this

You can still buy those – they often make their way to flea markets, yard sales and Ebay. Many of them can be brought back to life with a little cleaning, grease and oil.

My main fishing reel is such a reel, I bought it on Ebay about 10 years ago. It's a Pleuger Medalist single-action fly reel that was made in Akron, Ohio during the 1940s. I try to take good care of it – I clean it and keep it greased, but it takes quite a few knocks in the field. Yet, this 70-year-old reel has never let me down. I don't care how much it cost when it was new, whatever it was, it was worth it when you divide that cost over seven decades of fishing.

If you're looking for an American-made reel, you can still buy them. I don't know of any spinfishing reels still made here – if you do, please let me know – but there are a few flyfishing reels.

The ones I know of are George

Gehrke's Grand American, McNeese Reels and Sage Reels. If you are looking for rods, you have to look no farther than Kanawha County for Phil Smith's Vandalia Rod Works. Newell makes saltwater reels in the U.S., although I think the factory is shut down right now for retooling.

As for other tackle, you can find many products made in America, even at Wal-mart. I was shocked a few years back when I bought a Plano tacklebox there and saw a weird inscription on it - “Made in America.”

Today the Erie Dearie is the top-selling walleye lure in the United States and the lure is quite productive for other fish as well. The Erie Dearie still sells at a price competitive with those of Asian imports. Best of all, it’s still made in America. RDLM LLC, the company that owns Eerie Dearie, also owns Carlson tackle, maker of some well-known lures,

such as Mr. Wiggly. Virtually everything the company offers, with a couple of exceptions (one is the snag-free sinker), is made in the United States.

STREN FISHING LINE IS STILL MADE IN AMERICA. IT WAS, AS OF ABOUT 10 YEARS, ACTUALLY MADE IN WEST VIRGINIA AT THE DUPONT WASHINGTON WORKS PLANTS – ALTHOUGH I THINK IT IS MADE SOMEPLACE ELSE NOW. There are several companies who still make lures in the United States, including Mann's Bait Company and Voyager Tackle.

Don't forget your own creations.

I tie flies and make spinners at home, which is, of course, in America. Joe's Flies – you'll even see those at Wal-Mart – are made in West Virginia.

"Made in America" still means something. At least it does to me.

Applications being accepted for Green Bank Observatory Hunt

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is now accepting applications for a special controlled deer hunt at the Green Bank site in Pocahontas County this fall.

The hunt is organized in cooperation with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources and is open to West Virginia residents only.

The two-day hunt is scheduled for October 19 and 20. Applicants will enter a drawing to hunt one or both days and must choose whether they want to hunt with a bow, muzzleloader or shotgun with slugs when they apply. Successful applicants will be notified by mail.

The hunt will take place on four areas of the Green Bank site – which range in size from 132 acres to 1,000 acres and each area is designated for a specific type of hunting weapon.

The maximum bag limit is one antlerless deer per day – although

an on-site lottery will be held each day of the hunt allowing five hunters to bag a deer of either sex.

Deer harvested during the hunt do not count toward the hunters' annual deer limit. All hunters must be licensed with a class A, AH, AHJ, X, XJ, or lifetime license or be exempt from having to purchase a license. All deer harvested must be checked in at the official gamechecking site at the observatory.

Gasoline-powered vehicles – whose ignition systems create a great deal of radio interference – must be parked in designated areas only. The radio telescopes are very sensitive to radio interference, even flying squirrels – which had been tagged with tiny radio transmitters by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have caused problems in the past.

Al hunters must enter through the hunter check-in area and exit through the game-checking station. However, the observatory will provide transportation to some of the more far-flung areas of the hunt.

The observatory is home of the world's largest fully-steerable radio telescope. The observatory has many other telescopes, among them a 140-foot telescope, three 85-foot telescopes which form the Green Bank Interferometer as well as a 40-foot telescope used by school groups for small-scale research.

Many astronomical discoveries have been made there. Recently, the site had the world's first student discovery of a millisecond pulsar. The star discovered rotates a whopping 324 times a second.

Those interested can pick up applications at any DNR district office, print them from the DNRWeb site at www.wvdnr.gov or request one by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at P. O. Box 2, Green Bank, WV 24944, Attention: Hunt Coordinator. Applications also are available through email by sending a request to dwirt@nrao.edu . For information, call (304) 456-2011 or (304) 924-6211.

year, fishing for black bass (largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass) has been excellent. Bass An-

glers are using spinner-baits, rubber worms, jig-and-pig type combos and shad colored crank baits. Large-

mouth are being caught along embayments, and the smallmouth and spots are being taken from the river.

Manchin welcomes WV Veterans to Washington WV’s first-ever “Always Free Honor Flight” Brings 31 Veterans to D.C. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the 68th anniversary of D-Day, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) proudly welcomed 31 veterans from West Virginia to the nation’s capital for the state’s inaugural “Always Free Honor Flight.”

The veterans visited the capital free of cost to see the memorials built in their honor. Twelve of them served in World War II, three served in the Korean War and 16 served in Vietnam.

“It is such an honor to have these brave servicemen joining us here in Washington today,” Senator Manchin said. “I’ve always said that West Virginia is one of the most patriotic states in this great nation, and we are so proud of the number of veterans and active duty members who have served our country with honor and distinction.

Showing our appreciation to the men and women who have served this nation is something we should do each and every day. But today is a special day for us to pay tribute to those who

have made the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation.”

The Honor Flight Network is a nationwide effort to ensure that veterans have the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C. to see the monuments that were built to honor their service.

Manchin welcomed the 31 veterans and their escorts to D.C. with a special edition of his weekly “Wednesday Wake-Up with Joe” coffee reception. He and Senator Jay Rockefeller (DW.Va.) jointly hosted the group in the U.S. Capitol Building. After the coffee, Senator Manchin toured the World War II memorial with the group.

On Tuesday (June 5), Senator Manchin delivered a speech on the Senate floor to recognize the veterans making the trip to D.C. for West Virginia’s first-ever Honor Flight. The “Always Free Honor Network” was brought to West Virginia by the Denver Foundation and Little Buddy Radio, located in Princeton.

These nonprofit organizations

Honor Flight visits WWII Memorial with Senator Manchin. were founded by Bob Denver – who played Gilligan on “Gilligan’s Island” – and his wife Dreama, a West Virginia native.

In the speech, the Senator said: “These heroes engaged in combat across the globe, fighting in the Aleutian Islands, England, Normandy, France, Germany, Luxemburg, the South Pacific, the Philippines, Japan, Korea

and Vietnam. Some served here at home, servicing aircraft with ammunition. Some served in historic events, such as the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of the Philippines and the front in Japan. They took on different roles, serving as infantrymen, door gunners, ammunition soldiers, combat fighters, tactical fighters and medics. One brave World War II veteran received the

Honor of Legion-Chevalier Award from the French Embassy.

“These veterans come from all parts of our great state – from Welch to Beckley to Huntington to Princeton to Bluefield to Lester and all of the places in between.”

Manchin also recognized the volunteer escorts who accompanied the veterans to Washington.

Three of the World War II veterans were accompanied by their sons, who themselves are veterans of the Vietnam War. Seven of the escorts were representing their deceased fathers who served in various wars throughout the years, including the organizers of this tremendous event: Dreama Denver and her late husband Bob, Charlie Thomas and Pam Coulbourne.

Manchin encourages West Virginia veterans who are interested in participating in the “Always Free Honor Flight” to sign up for the next trip to Washington, D.C., which is scheduled to take place in October.

HGTV design star, West Virginia native Kristan Cunningham set to speak at Tamarack June 21 CHARLESTON, WV - Looking for design tips for your home or office space? Ever wonder what it’s really like behind the cameras at HGTV? Here’s your chance to find out The Tamarack Foundation is inviting women throughout the state to attend its inaugural Ladies’ Luncheon June 21 with featured interior designer and DYI expert Kristan Cunningham.

The luncheon is set to take place at TAMARACK: The Best of West Virginia Conference Center in Beckley from noon to 1 p.m.

Cunningham will share her interior design secrets and answer questions one-on-one. The cost is $30 per person and includes a delicious meal prepared by

Tamarack’s Greenbrier-trained chefs.

The event is made possible thanks to the support of Lewis Automotive, Tamarack Foundation and WV LIVING Magazine.

All proceeds from the event will benefit West Virginia artisans.

Cunningham, a West Virginia native, is one of the most recognizable faces in design television.

In 2001, she was on HGTV’s “Designer’s Challenge” and one year later she kicked off the first of 10 seasons as part of the HGTV “Design on a Dime” family. She has previously worked for the “Rachael Ray Show” as the resident design guru. Premiering this July on OWN, Cunningham will serve as host, mentor and judge

on the competition series “Super Saver Showdown”.

The Tamarack Foundation is an economic development engine for West Virginia that partners with artisan owned small businesses in all 55 counties to produce art and products for Tamarack and other markets. A recent economic impact study showed that in one year, the artists and artisans associated with the Foundation and Tamarack contributed $18.6 million to West Virginia’s economy.

“The Foundation is important because it provides basic communications, education and networking opportunities for West Virginia artists and artisans who have a quality product to sell, but

need assistance and guidance in developing solid business plans and marketing skills to help build their business. Donor support of the Foundation makes possible mentoring programs that bring emerging artisans in to contact with juried professionals who provide hands-on experience and creative encouragement to help these new artists improve their work. In turn, this allows them to build their businesses and contribute to the state’s creative economy while preserving and furthering quality cultural heritage in the state,” says Sally Barton, Tamarack Foundation executive director.

“One of the missions of WV LIVING Magazine is to showcase

our state's finest artists, entrepreneurs, and success stories,” said Nikki Bowman, WV LIVING magazine editor. “We are so proud of Kristan Cunningham's success, and we think that her story serves as an inspiration for us all. Opportunities like this don't happen very often, so we hope that everyone will join us for the Ladies Luncheon. We guarantee that you'll come away motivated to ‘live life a little lovelier’ in West Virginia.”

To RSVP for the event, contact the Tamarack Foundation by June 14 at (304) 926-3770 or sprice@tamarackwv.com.
