Running For A Cause 5K Meals on Wheels Run/Walk held in Milton SUBMITTED ARTICLE - Saturday, April 21st started out as a rather gloomy day. It was the day of the 5 K Meals on Wheels Run/Walk in Milton, West Virginia. It was a project that had been worked on for over the last three months. The energy behind the walk was a lady by the name of JaneAnne Frulla and a group of her friends, who I am pleased to say, is the Coordinator of the Underwood Senior Center in Huntington. She sees first hand each day individuals who come to the center for congregate meals. The groups of people this walk was meant to help are those who can’t leave their

VETERANS FROM PAGE 1 awareness of veterans' issues.

Last week, he spent Monday night at the Huntington/Fox Fire KOA campground in Milton. Tuesday he walked to Hurricane and Wednesday he was walking on to Charleston.

He is due to be in Washington D.C. by June 7 when he has meetings scheduled with U.S. Sen. Harry Reid and U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, among others.

“I do a lot of volunteer work,” Lyons said. “And I kept seeing veterans at the homeless shelters. It is estimated that 30 to 40 percent of men who are in homeless shelters are veterans. I just can't understand how the government can let veterans sleep outside. For America to be as great as it is, that just isn't right.”

So Lyons started calling his congressmen to press for more attention to be paid to veteran's issues.

He wasn't satisfied with the responses of getting passed around HOUNDS FROM PAGE 1

from staff person to staff person, so he decided to take action.

“I tried calling my representatives and it wasn't getting me anywhere,” Lyons said. “Finally, I said, if I walk to Washington D.C. will you give me an appointment and talk about these issues.”

So that's what Lyons is doing.

When he reachedWestVirginia last week he already had 2,400 miles behind him and an estimated 400 miles to go to reach his destination.

“It's going to be six months and 2,800 miles to get these appointments,” Lyons said. “But veterans are hurting and if this can help get the message out that veterans are a valuable resource that need to be treated better then it will be worth it.”

Lyons said before he left on his journey his friends tried to warn him of problems he could encounter on the road including the possibility of being harassed,

attention at House of Hounds in Nitro, WV. When I first went to House of Hounds I had to go in for an Evaluation. I don't know what that is but I was told it was for my protection to see if I would do ok there. I did of course, and after a few days of Daycare I was ready to spend the night! My Mom says the best part (for her) is the web-cam in every room where she can monitor my activities both inside and outside during my stay! Mom says because she loves me so, it is important that she can log on via the internet (whatever that is) and keep an eye on me!

Since my parents made sure I had all of those needs taken care of, that allows me to worry about what’s important to me, playing! There are doggie friends to play with, I can bounce around indoors on the couches and they even have doggie-playground equipment and toys outside! It’s just like home because I have big-screen TV’s with doggie cartoons all the time, or maybe like going to the grandparents because I get spoiled. Oh yes, and the humans pay a lot of attention to me! I get to sit on their laps and cuddle as much as I want!

I always have someone here with me at all times so I never feel lonely.

You can tell the folks working at House of Hounds really love us doggies. I get so excited the minute we arrive, and can hardly wait to get inside because I want to go through and speak to everyone I pass. I must stop and say “hello” to the doggie groomers that are working hard to make other peoples doggies look and smell pretty! Last time I was there I got this really cool tee-shirt that says “Friend Me” because I want to make sure everyone knows I want to be their friend. They have the coolest stuff there for doggies…including other cool tees and other items humans would want their doggies to have.

Well, just wanted to tell you about this GREAT place my parents found for me. Hopefully you’ll visit House of Hounds someday and maybe I’ll be there on one of my stays and we can play together…I’d love that!

Hope to see you soon, Shorty J – The Spoiled Basset!

Dan Lyons left his home in Reno, Nev., on Jan. 4 on a walk across the country to Washington D.C. to promote awareness of veterans' issues. Last week, he was making his way through West Virginia stopping in Milton on Tuesday and Hurricane on Wednesday before heading onto Charleston. Photo by Jack Bailey beaten up, robbed or worse.

For the most part, however, Lyons said that everywhere he has been, the people have been very nice and supportive of his cause.

“This is nothing like driving 60 miles an hour in a car across America,” Lyons said. “Walking, you can really feel the pulse of America. It has been interesting, and I have met so many nice people. Before I left I heard so many negative things, but you can't let fear paralyze you.”

So far the biggest threats to his walk have come from Mother Nature, Lyons said, recounting 70 mile per hour winds in Texas, and hail and the threat of tornadoes on

the Great Plains.

In West Virginia, though, Lyons said that he anticipates the hardest stretch of his journey with the state's signature mountains.

“This will probably be the hardest state,” Lyons said. “But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Veterans are hurting and that keeps me going.”

Along the way, Lyons said that he has met a lot of veterans who have been very supportive of his cause.

He wears a t-shirt from an American Legion Post in Olive Hill, Ky., and carries countless stories from veterans who have had troubles finding work, or troubles getting

timely treatment at VA hospitals.

“It's been an amazing experience, it really has,” Lyons said.

Typically, Lyons said that he likes to start walking early in the day and keep up a pace of three to four miles an hour, depending on the terrain and weather. He said that he tries to wrap up each day's walk in the afternoon.

When he can, he sleeps in hotels or motels, other times he sleeps in a tent that he carries on his back.

He said that the experience of walking from town to town and sleeping in a tent has reinforced his appreciation of the struggles that homeless veterans face on a daily basis.

Lyons was in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1969-1973 and was in Vietnam in 1969. He said that in addition to meeting with members of Congress, while he is in Washington D.C. he intends to visit the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial and find the names of friends who did not come home from the war.

“I had too many good buddies I lost inVietnam,” he said. “I want to go to the Wall while I am there.”

After his meetings with members of Congress are concluded, Lyons said that he intends to take a train back home to Reno.

He said that on his way home he may make a few stops to reconnect with friends he has met on his journey.

“There have been a lot of hugs,” he said of his journey so far. “So far there hasn't been anything negative happen, but you can't worry about that kind of stuff anyway.

Fear paralyzes people. If I see something that needs changed, I try to do it.”

Nearly 300 pounds of Prescription Drugs collected in Cabell County STAFF REPORT HUNTINGTON – Nearly 300 pounds of unused prescription drugs were collected on Saturday, April 28 in Cabell County, as part of a statewide drug take back program, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

On Tuesday, the federal agencies announced the results of the Drug Take Back event, which was held at multiple locations throughout the state of West Virginia. Statewide, a total of 4,795 pounds of unwanted, unused and expired prescription drugs were collected that day.

In Cabell County, 181 pounds of drugs were turned in to the West Virginia State Police's Huntington Detachment. In addition, 27 pounds of drugs were

turned in to the Milton Police Department and 87 pounds of drugs were turned into the Huntington Police Department.

In all, 295 pounds of drugs were collected in Cabell County.

“West Virginians understand how devastating prescription drug abuse is for our families and they have responded yet again in the most effective way citizens can: by ridding their medicine cabinets of unneeded and potentially dangerous narcotics,” said U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin.

The April 28 Drug Take Back designated more than 100 sites throughout West Virginia, providing citizens with various locations to drop off expired, unused and unwanted medications.

The National Prescription

Drug Take-Back held in April involved more than 5,100 sites nationwide in an effort to fight prescription drug abuse and theft.

Last fall, a similar Drug Take Back day in West Virginia resulted in the collection of 3,676 pounds of drugs.

“Prescription drug abuse has plagued so many of our communities and to have people voluntarily take prescriptions out of the homes and dispose of them properly, truly helps our fight against prescription drug abuse.

I commend all of the federal, state and local partners in West Virginia for their assistance which has made this fourth Take-Back a success,” said U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Resident Agent in Charge Dennis Bolum of the most recent event.

Four people arrested in Milton on Alleged Meth Operation On Tuesday evening, May 1st, authorities arrested two men and two women in connection with a suspected methamphetamine operation.

According to criminal complaints filed in Cabell County Magistrate Court, those arrested were James Forrest Goodman, 49, and Mike Larry Fowler, 46, both of Gallipolis Ferry, WV; Kelly Dawn Huffman, 24, of Point Pleasant, WV; and Shannon Lee Fenner, 20, of Dunnellon, FL. The arrests stemmed from a shoplifting call at Rite-Aid Pharmacy located on South

Main Street, Milton.

A call to 911 indicated some patrons were attempting to steal batteries as they purchased the nasal decongestant pseudoephedrine.

Fenner and Goodman were leaving the pharmacy as authorities arrived. According to the complaints, Fenner had pseudoephedrine in her possession.

Fowler, the suspects' alleged driver, returned to the pharmacy at Goodman's request.

The complaints state Fowler agreed for authorities to search his vehicle, before leading them to Huffman, who had been dropped off at a campground in the 1700 block of U.S. Rt. 60.

Authorities found a glass jar and several batteries in the vehicle, according to the com-

plaints.

The complaints further state that a witness at the campground directed authorities to a large garbage receptacle. The witness said that he had noticed a woman discarding a black bag before leaving the area. An investigator recovered the bag and found it contained several materials typically used in the making of methamphetamine.

Complaints state that Huffman was located a short time later behind a neighboring car wash.

The four suspects were charged with felony operating/attempting to operate a clandestine drug laboratory.

Huffman faces an additional count of misdemeanor shoplifting. They were detained at the Western Regional Jail, according to Milton Police Chief Gary Lilly.

The Milton Police Department and Cabell County Sheriff's Office assisted in the investigation.

WV Attorney General Files Suit Three Cabell County nonprofit Groups among Finalists to win a car from Toyota McGraw files suit in Putnam County against 'Designer Drug' Maker

BUFFALO – Three Cabell County nonprofit organizations are among the 500 finalists in 100 Cars for Good, a national program in which Toyota gives away 100 cars to 100 nonprofit groups in 100 days.

Green Acres Regional Center in Lesage, Goodwill Industries in Huntington and the Huntington Area Food Bank were named as three of seven finalists in the program from the state of West Virginia.

Winners will be selected each day by the public through voting on Facebook, beginning on Monday, May 14.

The other West Virginia finalists are CASA of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Lewisburg; the Mountaineer Food Bank in Gassaway; the Native American Community Center in Wadestown; and the Old Brick Playhouse in Elkins.

This is the second consecutive year for Toyota’s 100 Cars for Good, which is the first Toyota initiative to enlist the public’s help in determining how the company’s charitable contributions are awarded. The 500 finalists, selected from an extremely compet-

itive pool, were certified by an independent panel of experts in philanthropy and corporate social responsibility. The finalists include nonprofits serving a broad range of community needs, including animal welfare, arts, education, environment, health, veterans’ affairs and safety.

“Toyota congratulates all of this year’s finalists for 100 Cars for Good in West Virginia,” said Jim Lentz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Toyota Motor Sales. “We are grateful for the enormous impact that these nonprofits have each day and hope that 100 Cars for Good will play an important role in raising awareness of their work and helping these vital organizations make an even bigger difference across West Virginia. We wish each of the finalists the best of luck and thank all of the nonprofit groups from around the country that applied to participate.”

100 Cars for Good voting will begin May 14 and continue through Aug. 21. Each day, five organizations will be profiled on Toyota’s Facebook page at www.100carsforgood.com. Indi-

viduals will be able to vote once each day for the nonprofit they think is most deserving of a new car. The organization with the most votes at the end of the day will win the vehicle. The four runners-up each day will receive a $1,000 grant from Toyota.

Winning organizations can choose from the following vehicles: Camry Hybrid, Highlander SUV, Prius v hybrid, Sienna minivan, Sienna Mobility or Tundra full-sized pickup. A six-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty will also be provided for each vehicle, compliments of Toyota Financial Services.

Toyota will be providing all 500 finalists with a digital video camera, training toolkit and free online advertising credits to support their 100 Cars for Good campaigns and to help them create or expand their presence in social media and other digital platforms.

Each finalist will be asked to create a video showing how the organization plans to use a new vehicle to make an even bigger impact in the local community.

The videos will be featured at www.100carsfor good.com.

Seven Cabell County students win Golden Horseshoe Award C H A R L E S TO N – S e v e n C a bell County students were among the more than 200 eighth grade students from a c r o s s We s t Vi r g i n i a o n Thursday that received the prestigious Golden Horseshoe award for outstanding knowle d g e o f We s t Vi rg i n i a h i s t o r y and culture.

State Superintendent Jorea Marple inducted the students from all 55 counties as Knights of the Golden Horseshoe Society during a pinning ceremony at the Cultural Cent e r. T h e a w a r d i s c o n s i d e r e d one of the greatest honors bes t o w e d u p o n s t u d e n t s i n We s t Vi rg i n i a .

The students from Cabell County who received the Golden Horseshoe award are Jacob Bryant, Bethann Flint, John Holbrook, Spencer Mays, Mary Piaskowski, S t e p h e n R i c h b a r t a n d Tr e v o r Wi l s o n .

“The Golden Horseshoe

honors and rewards students for their appreciation and und e r s t a n d i n g o f We s t Vi rg i n i a and her people,” Marple said.

“The Golden Horseshoe is coveted by many in the state, b u t r e c e i v e d b y v e r y f e w.

Those who receive it are among a select group,” Marple said. “It is an honor that these students can be proud of for years to come.”

The Golden Horseshoe test has been administered in We s t Vi rg i n i a e a c h y e a r s i n c e 1931 and is the longest running program of its kind in the United States. The topscoring students in each county recei ve the prestigious award. Each county has at least two winners. The exam tests student knowledge on We s t Vi r g i n i a c i t i z e n s h i p , civics and government, econ o m i c s , g e o g r a p h y, h i s t o r y and current events. Past recipients have included authors and state Supreme Court

justices, a state attorney general and a Board of Education president.

The Golden Horseshoe originated in the early 1700s i n Vi r g i n i a w h e n t h e n - G o v.

Alexander Spotswood saw the need for exploration of the land west of the Allegheny Mountains, most of which is n o w We s t Vi rg i n i a .

Spotswood organized a party of about 50 men to exp l o r e t h e f r o n t i e r. A t t h e e n d of the exploration, he presented each member of the party with a golden horses h o e . Tr a n s l a t e d f r o m L a t i n , the inscription on each horseshoe read, “Thus it was decided to cross the mountains.”

By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

WINFIELD – West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw has filed a civil law enforcement action in Putnam Circuit Court against a Georgia company that manufactures chemicals used in synthetic designer drugs that can be found throughout West Virginia.

McGraw and his office filed the action on Monday, April 30, against Nutragenomics Manufacturing of Alpharetta, Ga., and its owner Drew Green.

McGraw said that the action was filed in Putnam County because the abuse of synthetic drugs is a problem in the area, but added it could have been filed in nearly any county in West Virginia because the problem is so widespread.

“Working in conjunction with the Metro Drug Unit, the Sheriff’s Office, and other law enforcement agencies, my office is committed to ridding West Virginia of the plague that these designer drugs pose for our communities,” McGraw said.

“Cutting off these illicit drug compounds at their source is an effective start to cleaning up the problem.”

The synthetic drugs are marketed under names such as K2 or Spice and are also presented under misleading labels as incense, bath salts or plant food, McGraw said.

The synthetic drugs imitate the effects of marijuana, ecstasy, cocaine or methamphetamine, McGraw said.

In addition to being available for sale locally, the products that contain the synthetic drug material can

also be ordered online, McGraw said.

McGraw said Nutragenomics misleads consumers into thinking its products are legal in West Virginia when, in fact, they violate West Virginia Code. The conduct of Nutragenomics also constitutes unfair and deceptive acts in violation of several sections of the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act, McGraw said.

“The deceptive marketing of the dangerous drugs using names like spice, incense, and bath salts makes the compounds seem harmless to our kids,” McGraw said. “But these designer drugs have been shown to cause seizures, psychosis, even death.”

McGraw said that the use of synthetic designer drugs has crept into schools and children are using the drugs at an alarming rate.

He said that parents need to be pro-active in talking to their children about the dangers of abusing any kind of controlled substance.

“Parents need to communicate with their children and make it clear that they disagree with drug or alcohol use,” he said. “Communication must be a two-way street.”

In addition to a ban on Nutragenomics products, McGraw's lawsuit requests the company: identify all recipients in West Virginia that purchased their products and the chemicals that were purchased; be restrained from representing that their harmful chemicals are benign or legal in West Virginia; be required to pay a civil penalty of $5,000 for each violation of the state’s Consumer Protection Act, as well as all litigation and court costs.

Protecting our turkeys from the poachers

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

Turning in a turkey poacher could net you a $200 cash reward.

The cash rewards are part of a partnership between the National Wild Turkey Federation and the Division of Natural Resources.

Basically, it works like this: somebody turns in a suspected poacher, the DNR gathers evidence, makes an ar-

rest. If the prosecution is successful, the NWTF pays the cash reward.

The reward is $200 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of people who illegally kill or possess a wild turkey and $100 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone who uses bait to “hunt” turkey or for anyone who willfully destroys a wild turkey's nest or eggs. I cannot imagine what kind of low-life would destroy a hen's nest or eggs on purpose, but somebody must be doing it, otherwise there wouldn't be an award for turning them in.

The press release I received said “the public is urged to contact their local natural resources police officer or their local DNR district office,” but I don't know why you couldn't call the West Virginia poaching hotline (800) NET-GAME. I applaud the Wild Turkey Federation for all they do. The group was founded in 1973 – one of the founding members was West Virginia's own Wayne Bailey, who was a pioneering giant in wild-turkey management. It

has chapters in every state and in Canada. There are surely many members who read this column. This is one of the many, many wonderful things the federation does to help the wild turkey.

This is a wonderful anti-poaching program and the federation is also extensively involved in educational efforts. J.A.K.E.S Day in Wood County is one such event, where children are educated about the outdoors, including turkey conservation. This is precisely how we should be addressing poaching issues, socially (or maybe hiring more conservation officers, you'd be amazed to see what vast areas each officer is solely responsible for) and not by denying law-abiding citizens their Constitutional right to bear firearms in the 80 percent of the state that is forested. By law, you are only allowed to have a firearm in the woods during an open hunting season.

For instance, if you would like to carry a revolver in an outside holster where it can be clearly seen - for protection during a remote wilderness

camping trip, too bad. As they would say in Communist East Germany, “das ist verboten!”

This obvious exercise of one's God-given, Second Amendment rights is illegal in the People's Republic of West Virginia. It totally confounds me why we gun owners moan endlessly about all these denials of Second-Amendment rights in far-off places like California or Washington D.C., yet are totally silent about the denial of our own Constitutional rights.

You can carry such a firearm, if you have a concealed-carry permit. I contend that it is a denial of our Constitutional rights to prohibit open carry – I'd probably quit complaining so much if we were just allowed to carry a revolver or pistol in the woods. Contact your state legislator. Ask them to get the law changed. There has to be a better way to do this. Denying these rights is like combating littering by outlawing driving.

If you don't think education can invoke social change, look at what hap-

pened with littering. I remember back in the early 1980s, many, many people littered. Otherwise honest, lawabiding citizens didn't think anything of littering and our roadsides were blanketed with litter. An intense antilitter campaign that started (I think) in the late 1980s changed that and you don't see one percent of the litter you did 30 years ago.

If you are participating in the spring-gobbler season – even if for only one day and even if you see nothing, you should participate in the state's Spring Gobbler Survey. The surveys are conducted each year to determine hunting success (or lack of it), gobbling activity as well as opinions and observations on a variety of subjects. Your participation gives biologists an important tool to manage your wild turkey resource.

Partnership expanding to Fishing Report improve native trout streams

By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

You can almost hear the native brook trout clapping their fins.

On May 4, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources announced they are expanding the public-private partnership between the two to increase the state's trout population and extend its range. The announcement was made at the South Fork of the Cherry River, where the Plum Creek timber company owns tens of thousands of acres of land in the watershed.

With the expansion, the partnership's efforts will work to enhance the quality of nearly 52 miles of streams on Plum Creek land and add two new liming stations– as well as improving water quality downstream in the South Fork of the Cherry River watershed. The South Fork begins in Pocahantas County and flows through Greenbrier and Nicholas counties.

“We are very excited to continue and expand the part-

nership between Plum Creek and the West Virginia DNR,” said Steve Yeager, senior resource manager for Plum Creek's operations in the sate.

“Our teamwork has produced remarkably successful results and we hope to breed even more success in the future.”

While the mountain streams appear pristine – and in many ways they are – brook trout are very sensitive to the water's pH. The rise in the acidity of streams thanks to acid rain has hampered brook trout populations – or wiped them out – in many of these small mountain streams. Lower pH levels (higher acidity) can result in few fish eggs hatching as well as reducing insect life upon which fish feed.

Plum Creek and the DNR have been working together since 1999 to improve water quality on the streams in Plum Creek's timber-land holdings.

Not all the affected water are small, native trout streams.

Some of the waters that benefit are those stocked with rainbow or brown trout.

According to the DNR, the

liming efforst have resulted in a three-fold increase in fish biomass in the affected streams.

Plum Creek adds limestone sand to the watershed over a period of several months to reduce the acidity of the streams.

The DNR conducts regular fish surveys on the streams to measure progress, as well as providing additional limestone sand and managing the fisheries.

“As we head into the height of fishing season and with liming just under way for this year, the expansion of the program comes at the right time,” said DNR Director Frank Jezioro. “The long-term efforts of Plum Creek have made a huge positive difference in the surrounding aquatic habitats, and we are glad to help the effort expand.”

Plum Creek, a timber corporation based in the Pacific Northwest, owns more than 110,000 acres of timber land in West Virginia.

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) 525-4831 for more information.

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) 849-9861.

R.D. Bailey : The lake holds some of the largest spotted bass in West Virginia. They can be found along drop-offs 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.

Ohio and Lower Kanawha Rivers : now is the time to fish the tailwaters for some excellent sauger, walleye, white bass and hybrid striped bass fishing. Jigs with minnows are providing some excellent catches; if artificial baits are your preference white and chartreuse are good colors to try. Crank baits imitating emerald shiners and shad should work great at this time of low flow. Blue, flathead and channel catfish fishing will start picking up as the water continues to warm, try fishing in a heated power plant discharge for some early catfish action.

Little Lecture to Tell of Robert E. Lee’s Struggles inWestVirginia CHARLESTON - Civil War historian and author Hunter Lesser will give the May 20 Little Lecture for the West Virginia Humanities Council. Lesser ’s talk “Robert E. Lee in West Virginia” will begin at 2:00 p.m. at Humanities Council headquarters in the historic MacFarlandHubbard House located at 1310 Kanawha Boulevard, East, in Charleston. The lecture is part of the Humanities Council’s ongoing programs observing the Civil War Sesquicentennial.

Western Virginia was the setting for the first campaign of America’s Civil War and a proving ground for some whose names became synonymous with that conflict. General George B. McClellan, for example, became the first superstar for the Union

because of his success in what became West Virginia. General Robert E. Lee led Confederate troops to the mountains of West Virginia in his first command of the Civil War. Lesser says that Lee’s experience with mountain warfare was a failure and defeats here led to him being known in the South as “Granny” Lee. He was eventually recalled to Richmond to serve as an advisor to Jefferson Davis. “But he found himself a legendary warhorse in these mountains and learned lessons in leadership that would serve him well as he restored his reputation to become a military icon,” Lesser adds.

Lesser of Elkins is a consulting archaeologist and historical interpreter who serves on the

West Virginia Civil War Sesquicentennial Commission and the Humanities Council’s Sesquicentennial Speakers Bureau. He is the author of Rebels at the Gate and The First Campaign: A Guide to Civil War in the Mountains of West Virginia, 1861.

Copies of his books will be available for purchase and a booksigning will follow the 2:00 p.m. lecture. The remaining Little Lecture will be presented on June 24 with author Denise Giardina discussing the 25th anniversary of her novel Storming Heaven.

People interested in attending the lecture should call the Humanities Council at 304-3468500 to confirm their seats.

Admission is $10 and includes a reception after the program.

many special home-cooked meals by Mom. Now it’s time to reciprocate. Instead of taking mom out on Mother ’s Day, where many restaurants jack up their prices by offering a prixfixe menu, prepare a special meal yourself. Remember, the day is about your mom, so plan the menu around all her favorite dishes. Offer to cook for her at her house so she doesn’t need to lift a finger.

Gifts Don’t just opt for a trite box of chocolates or generic gift you find in the first store you visit.

These days, you can find personalized gifts that truly match Mom’s unique personality.

“You can surprise and delight someone most with a personalized gift, since there is nothing more unique,” says Mariam Naficy, CEO of Minted.com, an online stationery store.

Personalized stationery sets make great affordable gifts for mom. Remember, the stationery a woman uses speaks volumes about her. Find something just right by browsing the selection of colors and styles on an online stationery store. For example, Minted.com carries a wide selection of unique customizable designs.

You might also consider giving the gift of self-expression with a personalized journal.

Make the journal truly hers before she ever sets pen to paper by including meaningful photos and inscriptions on its cover and interior.

Flowers For a traditional flair, think flowers this Mother ’s Day. But rather than coughing up a pretty penny buying a standard issue store-bought arrangement, take your mother on a nature walk to pick wildflowers. Not only will you get to spend a great spring day together outside, you can create a unique bouquet at home using flowers she picked herself.

When showing Mom you care this Mother’s Day, don’t let your budget hold you back. Thoughtfulness and thriftiness can go hand in hand to make the day extra special.

Show Mom How Much You Love Her With A Fun Night At Home (NAPS)—There are lots of gifts you can get the mom in your life for Mother’s Day, but spending time with her is likely the gift she’ll love the most. Hosting a movie night for your mother or wife can be a great way to have a fun, relaxing evening—and you won’t need to make reservations.

A bottle of perfume will eventually get used up but you and your loved one can treasure the memory of time spent together for years to come.

How to Plan a Mother’s Day Movie Night Take time to catch up with Mom: Use movie night as an opportunity to spend some quality time with the mom in your house. Before the movie starts, ask about her favorite films of all time and her favorite actors and actresses. Share your own list of must-see movies and talk about your celebrity crushes. Most importantly, remember to tell her how much she means to you. And get ready for a fun flick.

Prepare movie-watching snacks: Pick out some fun food to enjoy while you kick back on the couch. Order in from a favorite restaurant or prepare her favorite meal. Pop some popcorn and select classic movie theater candy to enjoy while you watch.

West Virginia woman inspired national holiday Compiled by the West Virginia State Archives CHARLESTON — Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis' work with women's organizations inspired the creation of Mother's Day as a national holiday.

She was born in Culpeper, Virginia, on September 30, 1832, the daughter of the Rev. Josiah W. and Nancy Kemper Reeves.

The family moved to Barbour County in present-day West Virginia when the Rev. Reeves was transferred to a Methodist church in Philippi.

In 1850, Ann married Granville E. Jarvis, the son of a Philippi Baptist minister.

Two years later, Granville and

Ann Jarvis moved to nearby Webster in Taylor County.

Jarvis organized a series of Mothers' Day Work Clubs in Webster, Grafton, Fetterman, Pruntytown, and Philippi, to improve health and sanitary conditions.

Among other services, the clubs raised money for medicine, hired women to work for families in which the mothers suffered from tuberculosis, and inspected bottled milk and food.

In 1860, local doctors supported the formation of clubs in other towns.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad made Taylor County a strategic site during the Civil

War. Ann Jarvis urged the Mothers' Day Work Clubs to declare their neutrality and provide relief to both Union and Confederate soldiers.

The clubs treated the wounded and regularly fed and clothed soldiers stationed in the area.

Jarvis also managed to preserve an element of peace in a community being torn apart by political differences. During the war, she worked tirelessly despite the personal tragedy of losing four of her children to disease. In all, eight of her twelve children died before reaching adulthood.

Near the end of the war, the Jarvis family moved to the larger town of Grafton.

Tensions increased as both Union and Confederate soldiers returned at war's end.

In the summer of 1865, Ann Jarvis organized a Mothers' Friendship Day at the courthouse in Pruntytown to bring together soldiers and neighbors of all political beliefs.

The event was a great success despite the fear of many that it would erupt in violence.

Mothers' Friendship Day was an annual event for several years.

Ann Jarvis' life revolved around the church. Under Granville's leadership, the Andrews Methodist Church was built in Grafton and dedicated in 1873. Anna taught Sunday School at the church for the next 25 years.

After Granville's death in 1902, Anna moved to Philadelphia to live with her son Claude and daughters Anna and Lillian.

Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis died in Bala- Cynwyd, west of Philadelphia, on May 9, 1905.

Her daughter Anna led a small tribute to her mother at Andrews Methodist Church on May 12, 1907, and dedicated her life to establishing a nationally recognized Mother's Day. The first official Mother's Day ceremonies were held at Andrews Methodist in Grafton and the Wanamaker Store Auditorium in Philadelphia on May 10, 1908.

Six years later, President Woodrow Wilson signed a Congressional Resolution setting aside Mother's Day as a national holiday to be celebrated on the second Sunday in May. In 1952, the General Conference of the Methodist Church officially designated Andrews Methodist Church as a National Methodist Shrine.

RUNNING FROM PAGE 1

1st Place Overall, Josh Holley

They are the ones who need not only the meals but also the friendly voice of the person who greets them each day with the delivery of the meal. Right now Cabell County Community Services, Inc. (CCCSO) has a waiting list of more than 139 people waiting for a home delivered meal.

As stated earlier, Saturday started as a gloomy day. It progressed into a really rainy one but those people who came out to support this project turned it into a sunny one by their smiles and willingness to run and walk

The Cabell Standard

2nd Place overall, Jonathon Hathaway

on such a rainy cold day. I stood at the finish line as they came in and cheered them on as they passed over the line. The smiles and greetings we received from them almost made the “sun” come out.

This run/walk was supported by many people and organizations. The three main supporting organizations included CSX Huntington Division, Huntingtonized Federal Credit Union, and Graphic Solutions.

Our other wonderful supporters included A-1 Wrecker, Elkins Insurance Agency, Panera Bread,

3rd Place overall, Larry Atkins

River Cities Anesthesia, Inc, Road ID, Salt Rock Senior Center, Secure Construction, Stay Well Chiropractic, Woodmen of the World, 14 West Senior Center, Marie Redd Senior Center, Eric Hodges for Eden Park ABSolute Fitness, and T.R. Johnson & Son. Also on hand were a number of police and firefighters from the community of Milton whom without, the race could not have been as successful as it was.

Many CCCSO staff also gave their Saturday morning to make this a successful event.

1st Place female- Sarah Jarvis

If you read this and would like to assist getting a person off the waiting list you can make a donation to CCCSO for Meals on Wheels. All funds that have been raised will go directly to meals as all funds raised by the runners and walkers are doing.

All overhead for this race/walk was taken care of by the sponsors.

I am proud to say that I work for CCCSO, an agency that cares about their clients.
