Milton McDonalds getting Facelift

ONA – Pain.

Good athletes know it. Great athletes know how to beat it.

A group of seven boys in red jerseys leave it behind and run past it. These lean high school runners push their bodies through a mental and physical anguish that most will never experience. It is the unshakeable, unbreakable will that leads these Cabell Midland Cross Country runners to victory.

Chris Parsons has coached cross country for 32 years, and he knows all about the adversity his runners face. Parsons has brought 8 state championships to the high school, and his teams have made Cabell Midland a cross country powerhouse for more than two decades.

“You have two choices: you can back down and give into pain, or you can try and hold on and keep going,” the 2012 W. Va. State Championship Coach said.

“It’s a 3.1 mile race when the gun sounds, and you’re not done until you cross the finish line.”

MILTON - McDonalds is undergoing major renovations.

The restaurant closed Nov. 5 and is scheduled to re-open Nov 19. Much like the one in Hurricane, this McDonalds will be completely remodeled.

It has been almost two decades since the Milton McDonalds received a new look, said Shift Manager Dakota Miller.

“We’re hoping this will help the look of Milton,” Miller said.

Crews start the remodeling process at McDonalds. The restaurant closed Nov. 5, and is scheduled to reopen Nov. 19. Photo by Justin Waybright.

Donalds greet drivers as they enter the city from I-64. Miller

said the restaurant is one of the first things they see when enter-

ing Milton.

“We’re excited,” he said. “We hope this will help business in Milton.”

On a Monday morning, when traffic would normally be pouring onto its parking lot, construction crews were busy moving dirt and driving excavators around the area. These crews will build a larger lobby, add 14 new parking lots and improve landscaping around the business.

The restaurant will also get new bathrooms and décor inside the lobby, Miller said.

McDonalds will have a grand re-opening in November. The date will be announced.

Knights defeat Oak Hill 52-20

By Bishop Nash For The Cabell Standard

ONA- Oak Hill's Jalen Jones and Cabell Midland's David Gaydosz have shredded through opponents all season, but only one dominant running back could lead their team past the first round of postseason football Friday night.

Jones made his plays for the Red Devils, but Gaydosz ultimately delivered for the Knights “(Gaydosz) had gotten better each and every game this year,” Cabell Midland head coach Luke Salmons said, “He's 100 percent and ready to go; all of all running back are.”

Oak Hill (7-3) entered the postseason ranked 16th in West Virginia to be matched with top-ranked Cabell Midland (100). Seeing their all-purpose player Jones leave the field was a rarity, and the elusive junior back fin-

Cabell Midland's defense takes down Oak Hill's Jalen Jones during Friday night's postseason win over the Red Devils. Photo by John Hagley ished the night with 148 rushing yard and two touchdowns on 28 carries.

“If he keeps doing what he's doing, he's going to get his college paid for. He's a great player,” Gaydosz said of Jones.

But if Jones played a good game, Gaydosz had an explosive one. The 6'0, 190 pound senior racked up 268 yard and three touchdowns on 13 carries.

Midland's overall offensive output belies their initial frustra-

tions early in contest. Running back Stephen Matthews fumbled on the opening drive and the Knights were held on fourth and one at the Red Devils 2-yard line the next drive.

“We didn't play well early,” Salmons said, “We were really tense and were almost too hyped.”

The Knights' luck changed in a big way late in the first when Gaydosz dismantled the Oak Hill defensive on a 51-yard touchdown run.

Gaydosz struck in even bigger fashion early in the second, this time from 60 yards out to put the Knights firmly back on their feet.

The defense forced Oak Hill to fumble on their own 9-yard line almost immediately, and senior fullback Lowell Farley punched it in on a 3-yard touchdown.

National Forest and WMA Roads Open to Hunters with Disabilities SOUTH CHARLESTON – Physically-challenged hunters possessing a Class Q/QQ hunting permit may hunt on designated roads throughout the Monongahela National Forest, portions of the George Washington/Jefferson National Forest in West Virginia and on selected wildlife management areas, according to Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR).

“Designation of these Class Q/QQ roads on National Forest lands in West Virginia is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Forest Service and the DNR,” noted Taylor. “This highly successful program provides hunting access for physically-challenged sportsmen and women, and for the past 20 years these areas have been well received by hunters.”

To participate in this program, hunters must possess either a Class Q (resident) or Class QQ (nonresident) permit issued by

the DNR. Applications for these permits may be obtained at any DNR office or hunting and fishing license agent. In addition to the Class Q/QQ hunting permit, both resident and nonresident hunters must possess all applicable hunting licenses and stamps.

Nonresidents hunting on National Forest lands must also possess a National Forest Stamp (Class I).

Hunters with a Class Q/QQ permit must apply in person at the appropriate National Forest district office or DNR district office and receive a letter of authorization, which must be in the hunter’s possession while hunting on the designated roads in the program.

The Class Q/QQ permit holders may be accompanied by no more than one assistant, at least 16 years of age, when hunting within a designated area. The assistant cannot hunt while accompanying the Class Q/QQ permit holder.

Authorized hunters will have

access to specific gates via a special lock. While behind the gate, hunters must observe all national forest and/or state wildlife management area regulations, and all state hunting regulations.

In addition to the special access areas, Class Q/QQ permit holders may participate in special Class Q/QQ deer hunts on December 26-27, 2012. This special split antlerless deer season for Youth, Class Q/QQ and Class XS (Senior) hunters will be held on private land in all counties having a firearms deer hunting season and on all public lands within these counties. The bag limit of one antlerless deer per day will not count towards the hunter’s annual deer season bag limit.

The U.S. Forest Service and DNR are committed to providing quality hunting opportunities for physically-challenged hunters and welcome comments and suggestions from participating hunters. For more information concerning access to national

forest or wildlife management area Class Q/QQ roads, contact the U.S. Forest Service (304-6361800) or DNR (304-637-0245).

Information is also available on the DNR’s website (www.wvdnr.gov). Specific areas with designated Class Q/QQ roads are listed below.

HUNTINGTON - Workers at the Cabell County 911 Center will soon receive new software that will help them save lives.

The state-mandated program will give dispatchers pre-arrival information in emergency situations. In a job where seconds mean the difference between life and death, this new system could be a vital tool.

"The software will provide us with life-saving instructions," said Cabell County 911 Center Assistant Director J.R. Vanooteghem. "We have the second busiest call center in the state, and this would enhance our preparedness."

Vanooteghem said his center takes in about 300,000 calls annually, and this software would provide those in emergency circumstances with CPR instructions and instructions on how to deliver a child. This life-saving aid does not come cheap. It has a $40,000 price tag that is covered

by a grant, Vanooteghem said.

State legislature mandates that the call center must have this new protocol in place by July 2013. Vanooteghem and Cabell County 911 Center Director Mike Davis are working on a bid proposal to present in Washington for the new software system.

Commissioners seemed to be on board.

"It's good to know that dispatchers can do that," Commissioner Nancy Cartmill said, referring using pre-arrival information on the new system. "It's pretty serious when you have that kind of responsibility."

She continued, "This sounds good."

The commission approved the request for a bid proposal on the new software system.

Davis and Vanooteghem then discussed with commissioners the financial state of their busy 911 center. It is facing challenges, Davis said.

"We are a little understaffed at this point," he said. "We've been analyzing revenue for about 10 months. There has been almost

a $300,000 increase in costs and our budget is about $124,000 less than it was last year."

Davis continued, "Nobody wants to put you all in this situation, but we're thinking about the future. We can't handle the cost, so something has got to occur."

Vanooteghem agreed.

"Something we don't want to do is raise the tariffs," he said.

"We've put this off for years."

The last time the commission addressed this issue was in 2005.

Since then, Kanawha County 911 Center has raised its landline tariff twice.

Under the discussed proposal, the monthly fee on residential customers would raise from $3.50 to $4.50, and businesses would see a $2 increase.

"When it all comes to a head, we're going to have to go to a public meeting," said Commissioner Bob Bailey. Commissioner Cartmill agreed.

"This would move the project forward," she said.

The public hearing will take place at the next meeting on Nov. 20.

PSC Alerts Customers of Utility Billing Issues The Public Service Commission of West Virginia wants customers to be prepared when they receive their next round of utility bills.

Electric Bills Under normal circumstances, residential customers receive an electric bill that reflects their actual usage one month and an estimated bill based on last year’s usage for the same time period.

In their efforts to restore service as quickly as possible following the heavy snowfall resulting from Hurricane Sandy, Appalachian Power, Monongahela Power, Potomac Edison, and Wheeling Power have all reported employees were taken off their regular duties, such as reading meters, to assist restoration crews in the field. As a result, more customers than normal will receive “estimated” rather than “actual bills” in the next billing cycle. Unfor-

tunately, the estimated bills will not take into account that a customer may not have had utility service for a portion of the month for which the bill is estimated.

The PSC wants to assure customers that the bills will be accurate or “trued up” as of their next electric bill based on an actual reading. In other words, after paying an estimated bill and the next bill based on actual usage, a customer will have paid no more than what was used.

Water Bills West Virginia American Water reports that although it was not necessary to take meter readers off their regular duties to assist with restoration activities, in some areas where there was very heavy snowfall some meters were inaccessible. As a result, there could be an increase in the number of customers receiving esti-

mated bills this month. Those customers who experienced service disruptions and were without water should, all other things being equal, expect to see slightly lower bills due to decreased usage.

Telephone Bills Commission Rules require telephone companies to pro-rate bills when service is interrupted for specified periods of time (according to the company’s tariff ) due to any cause other than the negligence or willful act of the customer. Telephone customers who were without service should contact their phone company to request a bill adjustment.

Gas Bills There is a possibility some customers could receive up to three estimated bills in a row in situations where meters were inaccessible or there were safety concerns for employees.

With the passing of the hurricane, people are well aware of the damage a storm like this can have on their homes and neighborhoods, but it’s also important to understand the harm a hurricane can do to a person’s health.

Damp basements and leaking roofs give mold a good chance to grow. Exposure to mold can trigger allergic reactions and asthma symptoms in people who are allergic to mold. Anyone, with or without allergies, may experience irritation of the eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs when ex-

If you think that your house has mold you need to take action immediately. Breathing it in is a hazard and could affect you and your family’s lung health. Call a professional to help clean any mold growth that covers more than 10 square feet.

Things we take for Granted We all take things for granted and we expect things to always be there.

Some of the things are – sight, smell, walking, talking and being able to do the things we need to do daily in our lives.

Sometimes we take our family for granted – our spouses, children, Mom, Dad, sisters and brothers.

We also take our jobs for granted. How often do we wish to “sleep in” but get up anyway.

There are many people who could do our jobs and are looking for work and would appreciate the job.

We take our transportation for granted. Most people have 2 vehicles to drive. If one goes out there is another.

We all take things and people for granted.

We take our Pastors for granted, sometimes. A wise man of God once said your Pastor is the only one in your church who does not have a pastor. So true, we take our church family for granted – then when one is gone we really miss them.

Let us all tell the people in our lives we love and we appreciate them.

Let us not take God for granted either. “Be thankful unto Him and bless His name.”

Something else we take for granted – electricity.

“MORNING COFFEE ” Thought for the week: Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed,and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof; PSALM 46:2,3 (KJV) No electric, no coffee, car runs, head for the local coffee hub. This is where you not only hear local news, but the opinions of all who gather.

A constant buzz of how who is after surgery, how the weather is, who passed on, and what are you doing this day.

The president and his cabinet members, meeting at Camp David could not accomplish the problems solved over a cup of coffee at these morning meetings.

Oh, the stories you can hear, it is loud and bustling, with laughter and the continuing waitress asking, ”Do you need a coffee refill?” But isn’t it great that those who can and do meet, from old high school football buddies, to couples who eat their only meal of the day together, after all she prepared breakfast every morning for 30 years, retirement has come at last. For others this is how the morning starts - that hot cup of coffee with a friend.

We are troubled on every side,yet not distressed; we are perplexed,but not in despair, Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down but not destroyed; II Corinthians 4:8, 9 I read this verse and think of those who have lost homes, family members and so much else, by the natural hurricane disasters this past month.

The TV screen scans as you view those who are enduring troubles, as this was the main topic while having my coffee this day, each of us have troubles in life everyday and GOD knows all about them.

I realized these meetings of the minds do not just happen when the utilities are off, this is an everyday gathering in every little coffee house across this country.

Not only do we meet and share news of the day, it could be a time to reach out and PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER silently, thanking GOD for this new day and once again to meet with others over that morning cup of coffee.

As the southern say, MAW-IN had your java yet?

Prayer: Once again,Good morning God,thank you for a new day,be with all my friends and foes direct my footsteps today in your direction and keep me in your sight. Amen.

Tree Stand Safety urged by West Virginia Natural Resources Police SOUTH CHARLESTON – During the past few years in West Virginia, falls from elevated platforms, also called tree stands, have increased, according to Lt. Tim Coleman of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources Law Enforcement Section. Coleman encourages all hunters to be aware of the inherent dangers of hunting from a tree stand.

“This year alone we’ve had nine tree stand incidents reported that have resulted in lifethreatening injuries and one death,” Lt. Coleman said. “According to our records, 2011 was the worst year with 14 injuries, no fatalities. Falls from elevated platforms are now the leading cause of hunting incidents nationwide.”

WVDNR offers Hunter Education classes across the state. Passage of the class is a requirement for anyone born after January 1, 1975, before purchasing a hunting license. Class schedules can be found at www.wvdnr.gov or by calling your closest WVDNR district office. Lt. Coleman is the state Hunter Education coordinator and offers the following advice for anyone intending to hunt from a tree stand. · Hunt Safely by understanding how to use tree stands and all related equipment correctly, reducing the chance of injury or death; · Hunt Smart through correct handling of firearms or bows at all times and attention to the many differences between ground and elevated hunting; and · Hunt Responsibly by respecting your environment and the

other people who use it. Hunters should follow best practice rules and "leave no trace" when passing through an area.

Tree stands and other raised platforms can give hunters increased advantage over their quarry. However, if used incorrectly, they pose serious safety risks. To reduce the potential of an accident use the following tips: Before you hunt · Take the time to "shop around" and buy safe and comfortable stand and harness of the type that's right for you. Safe and reliable equipment reduces your chance of injury. · Carefully read all instructions and warnings provided with your stand. · Practice setting up your stand and safety equipment at groundlevel first. Use all recommended safety straps and pins to secure the stand.

Your safety harness · Wear it at all times when climbing, hunting and descending. · Choose one that will hold you right-side-up and not restrict your breathing should you fall. · Choose one with a quick release system.

Maintain your equipment · Look for wear, stress points and loose fasteners. fix or replace any worn equipment immediately. · Keep your equipment clean.

Choosing a tree · Choose as straight a tree as possible. · Watch out for dead, overhanging limbs that may fall (they

are called "widow makers") and rotten wood. · Use extra care when hunting from a smooth-barked tree (such as aspen, maple, hickory and beech) when it's raining, they get slippery! · Use extra care when hunting from a frozen tree. Avoid using elevated stands when it's icy.

Hunting from a tree stand brings with it new considerations for the hunter. Keep yourself safe and pay attention to the following: Transporting your gun or bow · Always use a haul rope to bring gear to and from the ground. · ALWAYS UNLOAD YOUR GUN BEFORE HAULING! · If hauling a bow, tie your line to the top limb of the bow when climbing and the bottom when descending to avoid snagging arrows in tree branches.

Keeping yourself safe · You may get drowsy and fall asleep while in the stand. Prepare for this by always keeping yourself secured to the tree with your safety harness. · Be extra alert when climbing or descending from the stand.

These are when most tree stand accidents occur. Keep at least two points of contact with the tree at all times while climbing or descending. · Avoid elevated stand hunting while overly tired or on medication. · Never hunt while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. · Be sure someone knows where you are and when you're returning.

National Forest and WMA Roads Open to Hunters with Disabilities SOUTH CHARLESTON – Physically-challenged hunters possessing a Class Q/QQ hunting permit may hunt on designated roads throughout the Monongahela National Forest, portions of the George Washington/Jefferson National Forest in West Virginia and on selected wildlife management areas, according to Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR).

“Designation of these Class Q/QQ roads on National Forest lands in West Virginia is a cooperative effort between the U.S. Forest Service and the DNR,” noted Taylor. “This highly successful program provides hunting access for physically-challenged sportsmen and women, and for the past 20 years these areas have been well received by hunters.”

To participate in this program, hunters must possess either a Class Q (resident) or Class QQ (nonresident) permit issued by the DNR. Applications for these permits may be obtained at any DNR office or hunting and fishing license agent. In addition to the Class Q/QQ hunting permit, both resident and nonresident hunters must possess all applicable hunting licenses and stamps.

Nonresidents hunting on National Forest lands must also possess a National Forest Stamp (Class I).

Hunters with a Class Q/QQ permit must apply in person at the appropriate National Forest district office or DNR district office and receive a letter of authorization, which must be in the hunter’s possession while hunting on the designated roads in

the program.

The Class Q/QQ permit holders may be accompanied by no more than one assistant, at least 16 years of age, when hunting within a designated area. The assistant cannot hunt while accompanying the Class Q/QQ permit holder.

Authorized hunters will have access to specific gates via a special lock. While behind the gate, hunters must observe all national forest and/or state wildlife management area regulations, and all state hunting regulations.

In addition to the special access areas, Class Q/QQ permit holders may participate in special Class Q/QQ deer hunts on December 26-27, 2012. This special split antlerless deer season for Youth, Class Q/QQ and Class XS (Senior) hunters will be held on private land in all counties having a firearms deer hunting season and on all public lands within these counties. The bag limit of one antlerless deer per day will not count towards the hunter’s annual deer season bag limit.

The U.S. Forest Service and DNR are committed to providing quality hunting opportunities for physically-challenged hunters and welcome comments and suggestions from participating hunters. For more information concerning access to national forest or wildlife management area Class Q/QQ roads, contact the U.S. Forest Service (304-6361800) or DNR (304-637-0245).

Christin’s Corner

By Christin Daugherty Dear Christin, I noticed in your last column that you mentioned that you were a college graduate and a mother.I am also a mother of two,raising them on my own.

I have recently been considering going back to school to earn a degree in business. I was wondering if you could shed some light on this subject for me. How difficult will it be going back after all these years? I am 25 now and haven’t been in school since I was 18. I have a very loving family that has offered to help me in any way they can,but how will my girls cope with me being away more often?Will they eventually resent me for this decision?

Sincerely, One Worried Mama Dear One Worried Mama, One important question to consider when making this decision is: How well do you manage your time? After all, the most difficult thing about going back to school (for me) was time management. That, and determination. You have to really want this for yourself and your daughters. In my opinion, furthering your education is the best thing you can do for you and your family. Not only does it give you the chance for a better paying job, but it also helps to improve your self-esteem and overall wellbeing.

As for me, I decided to go back to school at the age of 27, nearly 10 years after attending high school. And, like you, I am also a single mother with a very strong support system. I pondered for months over this decision and finally decided that I had nothing to lose, except for maybe my sanity. After the first couple of semesters I thought to myself, “I got this!” and decided to transfer out of my two-year program and into a four-year program. That’s where things started to get a little tricky. Two years turned into four, and four years turned into five, and by the time I had reached my last year I thought I was never getting out of there. And the guilt? Oh the guilt! My daughter was five when I started and eleven when I finished.

I was certain that she would end up resenting me for all the hours I spent at my computer doing homework, and all the times that I was just too tired to play.

The turning point for me was when I was inducted into a national honor society at the college for my academic accomplishments. During the ceremony, my daughter was instructed to sit in the audience as I was escorted to the front to be acknowledged. The look of pride on her face was priceless as she jumped to her feet, clapping and cheering when they called my name. I will never forget that smile for as long as I live. I knew right then and there that I was going to finish. I HAD to finish. If not for me, then for her. There is something very rewarding in making your children proud. It is our responsibility as parents to set a good example for our kids. My only hope is that after seeing me do it, she will have the courage and confidence to achieve her own dreams. You can do it too, Mama!

Where there is a will, there is always a way! Good luck!

Announcing The Winning Art In The 12th Annual National Miniature Exhibition Judging is over for this year’s Exhibition. Here is the list of artists and art that our juror, Tom Suter, director of art Ohio University at Ohio University, Southern selected to honor this year. Here is the list along with Mr. Suter’s comments.

Juror’s Statement – The 12th Annual National Miniature Exhibition First of all, a special thank you to all of the people who made this event possible allowing me the distinct privilege to jury this unique show is quite an honor. The overall range, individual talent and quality of these works are quite impressive. The extreme technical execution and extraordinary detail amazes me!

This exhibition has great variety in technique and subject matter, showing a broad range of approaches to the technical and formal concerns of miniature art making. A great number of pieces seemed to address formal concerns such as rendering of light, composition and use of color. All of the artworks were viewed many times very closely and carefully before final selections were made. Please keep in

mind that a single juror brings a certain bias to the selection process, and sees the work through his or her own “mind and eyes.” It is entirely possible, even highly probable, that another juror may select and comprise a totally and very different show!

Congratulations to all of you, whether your work was ultimately awarded a place or not.

It is truly an act of bravery to put yourself forward in such a manner, to submit work that may be very near and dear to your heart to be judged by one.

Indeed, we are all so thankful that you had the courage to accept the challenge, put forth the time and effort and share with us your gifts and talents! Go forth and excel with dignity.

Never stop making art.

NATIONALS FROM PAGE 1 Knights’ runner Avery Campbell sits inside the high school locker room, icing and massaging an inflamed foot. Although hurting from the injury, Campbell is confident.

“It [the sport] puts a beating on you, but I’m feeling really strong,” he said, lacing up his shoes. “The mind is half the battle, and you gotta stay focused.”

Moments after stretching and working out his foot, Campbell jogged through the locker room doors to meet teammates: Jacob Burcham, Mason Dino, Andrew Short, Brian Lawhon, Jeremy Waugh and Nick Salmons on the field for another practice session.

Campbell has no time to focus on his injured foot, because he has to be ready in two weeks to race against more than 300 of the region’s best runners at the Nike NXN Southeast Regional Meet, in North Carolina. It is here, where Cabell Midland must place among the top teams, for the opportunity to race in the 9th Annual Nike XC Nationals in December.

Campbell practices with some of the best runners in the state.

WV Cross Country Record Holder Jacob Burcham is one of these.

This cross country phenom has gained the attention of college scouts across the United States.

In the time it takes the average person to shower, this high school senior runs 3.1 miles. His best time is 14:58, a state record.

Burcham achieves this unheard of time, alone.

He is a front runner, and the

“Before the state meet, we talked about going under 15 minutes,” Parsons said. “I knew it was a tall order, because he had to do it himself.”

But Burcham did it. He beat the clock.

“It takes a lot of mental toughness,” the state champion said.

“There are a lot of expectations from people, and I have to meet my own expectations and try to be consistent.”

Since the regular season ended, the Cabell Midland Senior has been busy checking out colleges and preparing for the future.

He hopes to make All-American status and get accepted to a good school.

Coach Parsons knows he has special talent on the team this year.

“I’ve never seen anyone like him,” he said. “On the high

school level, he is the best.”

Although Burcham’s face is plastered throughout newspapers and newscasts, the athlete stays humble. He knows it is the team that brings the championship home.

“Our team has a good depth in the top 5 and top 7 runners,” Burcham said. “They are consistent, and it takes them to win.”

The Knights broke the W. Va. record at the state championship with an average time of 16:04.

The team’s success comes from its training in the offseason, driven by a goal that began last year, Parsons said.

“They wanted to go out as one of the best in state history,” he said. “It was special seeing them think about it the whole year, then seeing it become reality Oct. 27.”

KNIGHTS FROM PAGE 1 other than Jones to put out the fire before things got ugly. Jones returned the kickoff 73 yards to the Midland 4-yard line and took it in himself on the next play to put Oak Hill on the board midway through the second.

But there could only be one brightest star tonight, and Gaydosz made sure it was him. Gaydosz broke five tackles on an awe-striking 46-yard run to exemplify Midland's manhandling of Oak Hill's defense.

“I've got to give all the credit to the line,” Gaydosz said, “The holes were huge. They gave me lanes and I just kept moving my feet.”

The Red Devil's defense was tremendously undersized comparatively to Midland's offense.

The average weight of an Oak Hill defender was 159 pounds, while the average for a Midland offensive player was 223 pounds.

Oak Hill's K.K. Goodman scampered in on a 3-yard touchdown run late in the half, but Midland was already in charge 28-12 at halftime.

The Red Devils drove deep into Midland territory on the first drive of the second quarter. The six-minute push melted down

when Knights defensive end Isaac Gibson fell on a botched shotgun snap, adding the Oak Hill's woes.

The Knights drove and Farley snagged his second touchdown on a 1-yard run late in the third.

Midland was showing why they were #1 heading into the fourth.

Farley matched Gaydosz's three touchdowns with his own third score of the night on a 25yard dash early in the fourth.

“He's fast. People underestimate him,” Gaydosz said of Farley, “He breaks away from the defensive backs sometimes.”

Coy Petitt got the much underplayed passing game some action for Midland. The sophomore quarterback hit Matthews on a 24-yard pass to effectively put the game out of Oak Hill's hopes.

It wasn't over for Jones however, who scored his second touchdown from 22-yards late in the fourth and even squeezed in the two-point conversion. Despite the game being essientially decided, the Knights crammed in a 32-yard Chris Molina field goal with seconds left. Cabell Midland's season would continue with the score finalized at 52-20.

Don't overlook your local WMA

David Payne Sr.

Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

If you're looking for a place to hunt this year, don't overlook your local public-hunting area.

With some folks, the state's wildlife-management areas have a reputation for being overcrowded with hunters. In some cases, it's true, but far from always and it depends on where you are.

When I lived in Parkersburg, I hunted the Jug WM quite often.

Traditionally, The Jug leads the state in number of deer killed.

Literally, more deer per square mile are killed there than any place in West Virginia. That's not because it has more deer – it's because it has more hunters.

For instance, if you hunt on the back section of The Jug – out Klondike Ridge Road – there will probably be a truck pulled off the side of the road about every 100 feet. If you're showing up to hunt, it will look like the most insane hunting situation ever – nobody could possibly hunt like this. And you will be right.

But, 90 percent of those folks walk, at most 90 feet from their vehicles. If you're willing to walk a mile or two into the woods, you will probably have the place to yourself.

West Virginia's wildlife-management program maintains diverse and high-quality habitats for a variety of wildlife and opportunities for hunters and anglers throughout the state. A total of 1.4 million acres – eight percent of the state's total land mass – is managed by the West Virginia

DNR as part of a vast network of public-access hunting and fishing areas (this does not include the more than 3 million acres of public-access federal lands in the state).

Officials not only work to improve habitat on the Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs), such as by planting or thinning of certain trees, planting shrubs for food and cover, maintenance of food plots and development of wetland areas – they also construct roads, parking areas, trails, public shooting ranges and infrastructure to make some areas handicap accessible. Over the next 10 years, the DNR plans to create nearly two dozen handicap accessible trails on its WMAs. The West Virginia legislature gave the DNR – then known as the Game and Fish Commission – the authority to purchase land to set aside as game refuges, where no hunting would be allowed. The DNR started buying land in the 1920s. These properties were set aside as game refuges, although when populations eventually needed culling,

public-hunting land in the national forests, but those were all in the eastern highlands and difficult for people in the most populous areas of the state.

Miles believed it vital to set aside property upon which any properly-licensed person could hunt or fish. To pay for it, he created the conservation stamp, which hunters are required to purchase in addition to their licenses.

His vision was that every citizen of West Virginia should have state-managed hunting and fishing access within a two hour drive of their home. The program has exceeded his wildest expectations; most residents have at least one WMA within a half hour drive. For instance, from my home in Putnam County, there are nine WMAs within a 40minute drive of my home. One, Amherst-Plymouth (where my son shot his first squirrel) is only 10 minutes away.

these areas could have been considered public-hunting areas.

Most of these areas became state parks – including Kumbrabrow, Holly River and Watoga state parks, which were originally purchased in the 1920s as wildlife refuges.

For the next several decades, officials didn't see much of a need for true public-hunting areas. Private land was readily accessible for most and federal authorities started purchasing the first tracts of the Monongahela National Forest as early as 1911.

By the 1980s, however, deer and turkey populations were reestablished throughout the state and there wasn't much need for game refuges, but a new trend emerged that put the DNR back in the real-estate market.

Bob Miles, who retired as DNR wildlife-resources chief in 1994, noticed the trend that access for hunters and anglers was becoming more restrictive. He foresaw a day when only landowners would have access to hunting and fishing. There were, of course, millions of acres of federal

access to the park cabin. Around 95 percent of the park's electric lines are on the ground and more than 15 power poles have been snapped and two transformers

smashed by the weight of heavy snow.

Outdoors Roundup Bear season coming up Bear season (hunting without dogs) will be from Nov. 19 through Dec. 1 in eight counties: Boone, Fayette, Hampshire, Kanawha, Monongalia, Morgan, Preston and Raleigh, which will be open for concurrent bear hunting during the traditional buck gun season. This is an increase from the seven counties that were open for concurrent bear hunting during the buck gun season in 2011.

Also, all or parts of 24 counties will be open for bear hunting with or without hounds Dec. 3 – Dec. 31. Successful hunters are encouraged to submit a premolar tooth from each harvested bear. An envelope for mailing bear teeth to biologists for research is available at checking stations. Those who harvest a female black bear are asked to save the reproductive tract or all entrails and cool or freeze them and call the nearest DNR district wildlife office to arrange pick up.

This data is used for bear-population studies.

Handicap-accessible hunting areas offer opportunities for dis-

abled Physically-challenged hunters may hunt on designated roads on several West Virginia wildlifemanagement areas as well as throughout the Monongahela National Forest and the parts of the George Washington/Jefferson national forests in West Virginia.

To participate, hunters must have a special Class Q license (Class QQ for non-residents) and apply in person at the applicable national-forest or DNR district office and receive a letter of authorization, which must be carried while hunting on the designated Class Q roads. The hunters may be accompanied by only one assistant, who must be at least 16 years old. The assistant may not hunt. Authorized hunters will have access to specific gates via a special lock.

While behind the gate, hunters must observe all national forest and/or state wildlife management area regulations, and all state hunting regulations.

There is also a Class Q, youth and senior antlerless hunt on Dec. 26 and Dec. 27. Seniors

must have a Class XS license to participate. The hunt will be held in all counties open to regular firearms season. There is a bag limit of one antlerless deer per day that does not count toward the hunter's annual bag limit.

For more information, contact the U.S. Forest Service at (304) 636-1800 or the DNR at (304) 637-0245.

State Parks still facing Sandy woes Several state parks are still recovering from Hurricane Sandy's blizzard. Blackwater Falls and Canaan Valley Resort in Tucker County were still without power at press time. Officials hope that power will be restored sometime this week. For the latest updates, visit www.blackwaterfalls.com or www.canaanresort.com.

Holly River State Park in Webster County is in far worse shape and will be closed for the rest of the year. Employees are cutting their way through downed trees to make the park accessible - and were only able to get the guests staying at the park's cabin before the storm evacuated until Nov. 5.

Breast cancer screening with 3D digital mammography offers an exceptional diagnostic tool for physicians that supports more confident diagnoses and saves valuable time, reducing the need for callbacks for additional imaging and can help patients get results more quickly.

During a tomosynthesis exam, multiple, low-dose images of the

ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/125 Aperture/F-stop: 18 Flash: Onboard The intention behind this shot was to show an aspect of fall time in West Virginia. This shot is an easy one to pull off. Distorted perception makes this shot unique.

More often than not, breaking basic rules can lead to great photography. By getting inches away from this object and zooming out with a large aperture, you can really emphasize the length of the tree while showing some of the intricacies in the bark, limbs and leaves.

Large apertures often help to emphasize the size of objects or people in your pictures. Ø Zoom out as far as your lens can Ø Hold the camera at the base of the tree, lens pointing straight up and running parallel with its trunk Ø Make sure the sun does not blind you or cause flare in your shot Ø Make sure your flash is on Ø Depending on the brightness of the sun, you may need to decrease the shutter speed Editor’s Note:This week begins a new column,“Photography 101”in the Putnam Standard.

Reporter/Photographer Justin Waybright will be bringing his knowledge of photography to our readers. Through his camera lens,

Justin will show – as well as explain – to us how the photo was

taken as well as the best settings to use.
