Annual Taste of Putnam set for May 20 atValley Park By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
HURRICANE – The second annual Taste of Putnam will take place on Sunday, May 20, from noon to 5 p.m. at Valley Park in Hurricane. The event is sponsored by the Kiwanis Club and will feature 15 area restaurants and chefs, according to Michael Henshall of the Kiwanis Club. “The Taste of Putnam will be a unique addition to the list of community events for the residents of Putnam County,” Henshall said. “The area has some very fine restaurants and talented chefs and this is an opportunity for Putnam County to display its culinary resources.” The format of the event is similar to other food-tasting events, Henshall explained, in that people purchase tickets that they exchange for samples of food from the participating restaurants. Tickets are 50 cents and will be avail-
While food is the central focus of the Taste of Putnam, a variety of activities will also be available for children. Photo courtesy of Putnam Kiwanis
able for purchase the day of the event. Admission and parking are free. Items available for sample will run the gamut from appetizers to main courses to desserts, Henshall said. Seating will be available around Valley Park including at the large shelter, but Henshall said that he encour-
ages people to bring a blanket and have an afternoon picnic in the park while sampling the best that local chefs have to offer. And while food is the centerpiece of the event, Henshall said that there will also be several activities available during the Taste of Putnam for chil-
dren. The Hurricane High School Key Club will be offering face painting, and P.J.'s Preschool and Daycare will be on hand to offer other playful activities for children. “There will be a lot of activities for children,” Henshall said. “This is a very family friendly event.” Taste of Putnam will take place rain or shine, Henshall said. This marks the second year for the Taste of Putnam. Henshall said that the first year was very successful and that organizers are looking forward to another large turnout this year. In addition to offering visitors a sampling of the variety of food available in Putnam County, the event also serves as a major fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club. All the money raised from the event goes back into the Club's support of community activities in Putnam County, Henshall said.

Roadside park to honor 'Rosie the Riveters' By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
ST. ALBANS – A new park dedicated to honoring women who worked on the home front during World War II is slated to be dedicated on Saturday, May 26 at 11:30 a.m. in St. Albans. The Rosie the Riveter Park will be located in the Roadside Park main-

tained by the city of St. Albans that is along U.S. Route 60 (MacCorkle Avenue) in St. Albans across from the
St. Albans Shopping Center that houses McDonald's, Kroger and Kmart . About 12 'Rosies' are ex-
pected to attend the event. The park will be complete except for the central monument/statue,
which is still being researched, priced and discussed by the Rosie Park Committee. Organizers hope that the new roadside park will serve as a model for other roadside parks across the country to also honor 'Rosies.' “This park is a message, by example, that American communities can honor and learn from Rosies in ways that make a long-term impact,” said Jeff Bosley, president of the group Thanks! Plain and Simple. “Because the park is beautiful, useful, and affordable to many communities, it’s a great model for Americans to make a statement - Americans can pull together, from the grass-roots up, to honor and work with Rosies. The park is one of many educational efforts we have created to share with America; however, we hope the park and its timing help us show that it’s time for a national Rosie the Riveter movement.” SEE PARK ON PAGE 3

Lose theTrainingWheels Camp at Huntington High teaches individuals with disabilities to ride two-wheel bicycles HUNTINGTON – For the second consecutive year, Marshall University’s School of Kinesiology is hosting a Lose the Training Wheels Camp July 16-20 at Huntington High School. The program teaches participants with disabilities how to independently ride a two-wheel bicycle. Lose the Training Wheels is a national organization that works with local organizations to host camps in individual communities. Staff members travel the country conducting the camps, and have an average success rate of more
than 80 percent. Participants attend one 75-minute session each day for five consecutive days. Dr. Gregg Twietmeyer, assistant professor of kinesiology at Marshall, said the benefit is twofold: one, participants can learn the joys of riding a bike, which can lead to increased self-esteem and confidence; and two, Marshall students, who volunteer as spotters for the riders, get to see firsthand the important role of physical activity and play in human well-being and culture. “We’re really hoping to expand
enrollment this year by getting more campers from Kentucky and Ohio, as well as from Charleston, West Virginia,” Twietmeyer said. To be eligible to register for the camp, participants must be at least 8 years old and have a diagnosed disability. They must have a minimum inseam of 20 inches, weigh less than 220 pounds and be able to walk without assistive devices. Teens and adults may participate as well. Registration fee is $100 and some scholarships are available. For more information on registra-
tion or volunteering, visit www.marshall.edu/lttw. For more information on the camp, call Twietmeyer at 304696-2938 or Dr. Jarod Schenewark, assistant professor of kinesiology, at 304-696-2937. Individuals interested in helping to defray the costs of the camp through financial donations may contact Rick Robinson, director of development with the Marshall University College of Health Professions, at 304-6967081.
Division of Culture and History Lecture to Focus onThe Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad CHARLESTON – Dr. Cicero M. Fain will present “Into the Crucible: The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad and the Black Industrial Worker in Southern West Virginia, 1870-1900” on Thurs-
The spot in St. Albans was chosen because of its beauty along the river, and also because the city maintains the park. “The city of St. Albans agreed to provide the land in Roadside Park which Rosies decided was a best spot because of its beauty and because the park is maintained by the City Park Department,” Bosley said. “Today, many parts are fitting together, including that this park helps make a statement of our goals.” Anne Montague, founding director Thanks! Plain and Simple, said, “Our goal is for Americans to pull together as we did in World War II – the task is not to be the only group teaching with Rosies, but to generate a synchronized national effort – to be a model to unite Americans around the value of Rosies.” H. “Woody” Williams, West Virginia’s only living Medal of Honor recipient from his service as a Marine at Iwo Jima and board member for Thanks Plain and Simple! said, “My message to veterans, Rosies and all who learn from us is, ‘We did it together.' This message in the park is, 'America can do it together, again.”'The message in having the park and other projects to share with America is, 'It takes many methods and kinds of people working together.'”
day, May 17, in the Archives and History Library at the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex in Charleston. The 6 p.m. program is free and open to the public. Fain will discuss the construction of the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Railroad, which brought rail transportation to south-central West Virginia in the postCivil War era. The C&O led to the founding of Huntington as the railroad’s western terminus in 1870 and was instrumental in bringing development to the southern coalfields. He will relate the contributions of black labor to the C&O’s construction, the rise of Huntington as an urban industrial center, and the linkage of the New River Valley and Huntington
to the regional and national economy. A third-generation black Huntingtonian, Fain is a recipient of the Carter G. Woodson Fellowship from Marshall University and a graduate of The Ohio State University, where he received his Ph.D. in history, with an emphasis on African American, American, and modern-African history. His dissertation, “Race, River and the Railroad: Black Huntington, West Virginia, 1871-1929,” focuses on the transition of southern rural and semi-rural black migrants to life in the embryonic urban-industrial city of Huntington. Fain is an assistant professor of history at the College of Southern
Maryland. He has published articles in the Journal of Appalachian Studies, Ohio Valley History, and West Virginia History: A Journal of Regional Studies. For planning purposes, participants are encouraged to register for the program, but advance registration is not required to attend. To register in advance, contact Robert Taylor, library manager, by e-mail at bobby.l.taylor@wv.gov or at (304) 558-0230, ext. 163. Participants interested in registering by e-mail should send their name, telephone number and the name and date of the session.

modation. Chief Coffey wrote a letter and highly concurred with Sgt. Staten’s letter regarding the actions of Sgt. D’Alessio, Cpl Arthur and Officer Brad Simmons the morning of March 16, 2012. However he wanted to commend Sgt. Chris Staten and Cpl. Danne Vance for their participation and leadership during this incident. He reported that in a systematic and organized response from the Barboursville Police Department, the interstate exits and US Route 60 were covered by strategically placed static vehicles. Chief Coffey commended all assigned personnel for their quick responses, attention to duty and for their professional conduct and thanked them for a job well done! A copy of both letters will be placed in each of these officers personnel file. Mayor Turman thanked Chief Coffey for the great job that he and his officers do every day for the residents of the Village of Barboursville. Mayor Turman commended Chief Coffey for the outstanding article in the Herald Dispatch concerning his son Joshua Coffey for receiving the “Outstanding Police Officer” at the Huntington Police Dept. The article outlined Joshua’s career as a Huntington Police officer and Joshua’s tribute to his father. Chief Coffey is surely very proud of his son! VISITORS: Wilma Smith, 306 Park Avenue asked for help with the trash problem she is having from the apartments on Lewis Avenue. She reported that the trash is all over the alley and blows into her yard and that not all of the residents have trash containers. Between the cats and dogs and the neighborhood critters she is asking for help with the problem. Mayor Turman said that we would look into the situation and try to solve the problem.

Secured Party Real Estate Auction May 21st • 1 PM Sharp
Local Health Incorporated, local health departments will work individually and collectively to advance both capacity and capability in the public health system as well as improve efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of health department services to improve health outcomes. Eighteen of the forty-nine local health departments in West Virginia will receive funds for activities such as conducting community health assessments, developing
community health improvement plans and agency strategic planning. “It is encouraging that West Virginia Local Health Incorporated is supporting all of the local health departments through these funds to truly improve the health of West Virginians,” said Dr. Marian Swinker, BPH commissioner and state health officer. “It will take all of us working together to make a difference in every community.” The funding, made possible
through the Prevention and Public Health Fund created by the Affordable Care Act of 2010, is administered by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Office for State, Tribal, Local and Territorial Support. The program aims to make fundamental changes and enhancements in health department organizations and their practices to help to improve the delivery and impact of public health services. Program funds support increasing health department operational
efficiencies to ensure seamless and coordinated services and position local health departments to apply and achieve national-level accreditation by the Public Health Accreditation Board (PHAB).

Ona, Salt Rock Post Offices could be affected by proposed postal changes By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
Post Offices in Ona and Salt Rock could see reduced hours of operation in the near future under a plan announced by the U.S. Postal Service last week. The plan was proposed as an alternative to one advanced by the Postal Service last year that would have closed hundreds of Post Offices around the country. Under the plan announced last week, existing Post Offices would remain in place, but with modified retail window hours to match customer use. Access to the retail lobby and to P.O. Boxes would remain unchanged, and the town’s ZIP Code and community identity would be retained. For both the Ona and Salt Rock Post Offices the number of hours a day that the retail window would be open from 8 hours to 6 hours. The new strategy would be implemented over a two-year period
and would not be completed until September 2014. Once implementation is completed, the Postal Service estimates savings of a half billion dollars annually. The Postal Service will provide an opportunity for the Postal Regulatory Commission (PRC) to review this plan prior to making any changes. The Postal Service intends to file a request for an advisory opinion on the plan with the PRC later this month. Community meetings would then be conducted to review options in greater detail. Communities will be notified by mail of the date, time and location of these meetings. U.S. Rep. Nick Jo Rahall, DW.Va., offered a mixed reaction to the new plan. “Today’s newest Postal Service plan appears to be welcome news for southern West Virginia families and businesses who joined me in the hard fight over these months to save our post offices,” Rahall said. “However, cutting

back the hours for so many post offices is no small matter, and we need to examine the details of the plan and get a better understanding of its potential impact on mail delivery services and communities. We ought not be shy about letting Postal officials know our views and getting our questions answered.” U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, who was critical of the Post Office's plan last year to close post offices, also offered a mixed reaction to the latest plan. “For months now, I have been fighting to keep our rural post offices open so that the people of our state can stay connected to this great country. I pushed very hard in the Senate to keep all our post offices open, because they truly are a lifeline and they provide vital services to so many West Virginians. With 150 post
offices slated for closure in our state alone, the effect would have been devastating to thousands of West Virginians,” Manchin said. “I spoke with the Postmaster General last night, and I’m encouraged that he changed course and took a new approach to save money in his agency. However, this compromise isn’t perfect. I expect that if the Postal Service is going to make any changes to the services they are providing to constituents, they will also explore alternative cost-saving measures like reducing executive compensation, getting rid of unused space and ending advertising sponsorships. I will be watching very closely to ensure that our rural communities do not bear the brunt of changes being made at the Postal Service.” U.S. Sen. Jay Rockefeller, DW.Va., offered a similar mixed re-
action to the latest developments. “On its face, this move looks like an improvement over the previous proposal to flat out close 150 post offices in West Virginia,” said Rockefeller. “But I continue to be very concerned about the Postal Service’s constantly shifting plans and lack of information about how its proposals will impact jobs and services in our state. This new plan will potentially impact far more West Virginians and it fails to take into account the many other options for reducing costs besides cutting postal jobs and services in rural areas like West Virginia.” A complete list of Post Offices affected and additional details about the plan can be found online at http://about.usps.com/ news/electronic-press-kits/ourfuture-network/welcome.htm

Herbert Hoover's forgotten outdoors legacy
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
You know about the Herbert Hoover who became the scapegoat for the Great Depression. Let me tell you a little about was. He was one only three presidents to not take a presidential salary. The other two were George Washington, who refused it and John F. Kennedy, who like Hoover, donated his to charity. Herbert Hoover loved America. He also loved fish.
"All men and boys,” Hoover writes, “are endowed with certain inalienable rights, including life, liberty, and theBy pursuit of happiness, which obviously includes the pursuit of fish." Herbert Hoover had many, many memorable quotes about fishing. That's because when he wasn't fishing, he was talking about fishing, or helping fish in some way. This is the guy who devoted two chapters of his presidential memoirs to fishing, wrote a book “Fishing for Fun, to Wash Your Soul,” (it is excellent) and was president of the Izaak Walton League. Maybe fishing had something to do with his long life – he was one of only three presidents to live past 90 (Ronald Regan and John Adams were the other two). As a conservationist, he picked up where Theodore Roosevelt left off and took it a step further to apply those principles to fisheries, which were in grave danger in the 1920s. As an environmentalist, he was light years ahead of his time. As a fisherman, he had few equals. There was a reason he was so dedicated to fish and what that love of
Hunters Helping the Hungry Program in need of cash donations By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
West Virginia's Hunters Helping the Hungry Program has always had plenty of venison, what it needs worse than deer is cash. The deer from the 2011 season are now finding their way onto area dinner tables and the program is looking for cash donations to help it do more. Last season marked the 20th year for the program, which accepts donated venison to give to needy West Virginians via foodbanks. Since then, the program has provided 770,000 pounds of ground venison to needy families who need the nutritious meat. West Virginia Division of Natural Resources Director Frank Jezioro presented the program with a check for $75,000, money raised from private individuals and businesses who donated money for an opportunity to participate in guided antlerless deer hunts in December. The fundraiser has grown a great deal since it collected $17,000 five years ago. Hunters Helping the Hungry allows hunters to donate legally-harvested deer to certified processors, who grind and package the venison so it can be distributed to soup kitchens, food pantries, shelters, senior centers, missions, churches and
community centers around the state. The program has no DNR funding and must pay for the meat processing with cash donations. Since its inception in 1992, the program has provided nearly 1 million meals worth of lean, nutritious venison to needy West Virginians. Officials say, however, that the program is capable of far more. The program has never had difficulty obtaining venison donations – those abound. The bottleneck has always been the program's ability to pay for meat processing and actually has to restrict donations based on what it can afford to process. The program never turns away a hunter's offer of venison, but instead restricts meat donations by limiting the number of processors who accept the donated deer. In fact, out of the hundreds of meat processors in the West Virginia, donations are accepted at only 17 of them. Only 13 of the state's 55 counties are represented. Putnam County have no participating processors. Cabell has two, Nelson's Custom Processing in Milton and Rolfe's Custom and Commercial Meat Processing in Ona. For more information concerning the program, or to discuss tax-deductible donations, contact Gene Thorn or Judy Channell at 304-9246211.
fishing never faded in his heart. When he was nine years old, his parents died. He was separated from his siblings and sent to live alone with an aunt and uncle in Oregon. In fishing, he found solitude and an escape from a world that dealt the boy such pain. As a young man, he was a brilliant mining engineer – one of the best of his day. He invested what he made well and became a millionaire. In his 47 years of public service, he donated every government paycheck to charity. In his various cabinet posts, he organized the supplying all the necessary food for the U.S. Army Expeditionary Force that turned the tide against Germany in World War I and fed a billion people in 57 countries. As president, he did more in a single term than most do in two. He gets this unfair rap (remember history is the story told by victors, such as F.D.R. who borrowed much of the New Deal from his distant cousin Teddy's ideas), but he was the first to propose Social Security. He gave the orders to bring down Al Capone. Hoover created the Veterans Administration, established the Federal Bureau of Prisons and re-
organized the Bureau of Indian Affairs to protect Indians from exploitation. But the one legacy of his that is most lasting – and one that F.D.R. didn't later borrow and take credit for – was his tireless work to save America's fisheries and his beloved fish. He used his presidency to begin the work that would rescue American fisheries from the brink of destruction. He set aside more than 5.2 million acres of national parks and forests. One of his first acts in office was to revamp the Bureau of Fisheries, oust its chief and work to establish cooperation between states to protect fisheries. Hoover described the situation in the late 1920s as very bleak: "The salmon and halibut fisheries in the Northwest and Alaska were slowly dying out. The shad and bluefish fisheries on the Atlantic coast were going. The great salmon and sturgeon fisheries on the Atlantic side had completely gone... Game fish were getting scarcer and scarcer all over the country." Keep in mind, the preceding times had been a period of great extirpation and extinction. Had it not been for vi-
Fishing Report Ohio and Lower Kanawha Rivers : This is an excellent time for fishing the tailwaters. Anglers on the Ohio are catching white bass, hybrid striped bass, as well as other species. Leadhead jigs fished along the bottom are the lure of choice, especially if tipped with minnows. Hybrid striped bass are being caught on the surface – agitator bobbers and large surface plugs are working well for them. Best spots for these fish are in eddies and back-current sections. Beech Fork : level is slowly rising to summer pool. Crappie fishing has been picking up, anglers are catching nice fish around woody structures. Bass are staging in the prespawning areas. Channel catfish are biting on chicken livers and cut bait. Hybrid striped bass and white bass are hitting white lures. For more information, call (304) 5254831 for more information. Burnsville: Lake is at summer pool. Lots of bass are being caught around cover. Crappie and bluegill are hitting on live bait in any kind of cover. Trout were stocked the tailwater on May 2. For more information, call (304) 8532398. East Lynn : Water level is at summer pool. Bass are holding near logs, stumps and fish attracting brush piles and Musky will be found near bush piles and fallen trees. Channel catfish and flatheads are abundant in the lake and can be caught with a variety of baits. Crappie fishing is picking up, try
around woody structure. A few walleye have been caught in the lake and tailwater. For more information (304) 8499861. R.D. Bailey : The lake holds some of the largest spotted bass in West Virginia. They can be found along dropoffs and points extending into the lake at this time of the year. Try plastic jigs, live shad, or crayfish. Best baits for hybrid striped bass are rattletraps, spoons, or white/chartreuse jigs. They are also biting on chicken liver. For more information, call (304) 664-9587. Stephens Lake : The water is very clear. Fish quietly, carefully, use light line and cast far to improve your chances. Bass anglers are having luck with soft plastics and small crankbaits. The lake is stocked with channel-catfish fingerlings. Many find success using the ‘dipping sponge’ method, fishing it either beneath a bobber or on the bottom using a basic three way river rig. Another trick is to catch small baitfish using a piece of a worm, etc., then cut them up and use them as fresh bait. Many times this will out-fish other bait types due to its freshness. If you use a game fish (bluegill, bass) as bait, you must include it in your daily creel limit. Stonewall Jackson: Lake is threefeet above summer pool and milky. There have been reports of large muskies being caught on spinner baits this week.
sionaries like Hoover and Theodore Roosevelt and, as much as I hate to give the Sierra Club any ink, John Muir, the fate of many of our fish might have been the same as that of the bison who used to roam in Putnam and Cabell counties. He continued the battle long after he yielded the White House to Franklin Roosevelt. With great vision, he realized that filling streams with artificially-raised fish only masks greater problems. This idea was at least a halfcentury ahead of its time. "Even this is useless unless we can check pollution of our streams," he wrote. He laughed at Calvin Coolidge for preferring worms to flyfishing, but to others, his quirks could also be laughable at times. Decades after he left office, Hoover accepted an offer for a Colorado fishing trip from Dwight Eisenhower, despite the fact the men despised each other. At 4 a.m., Eisenhower picked up Hoover, who, to Ike's amazement, wore a tie with his hip waders. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
