HUNTINGTON - Two pieces of American History sailed into the Harris Riverfront Park Nov. 13. The scene was something out of history books, Wednesday. Life-size replicas of the Nina and Pinta sat on the Ohio River. The long sails and masts stood high and greeted all who entered aboard the two wooden ships. About 75 students from Crum Elementary, in Wayne County, eagerly piled onto the ships. Their eyes were wide and filled with excitement while they saw their history lessons come to life. Crum Elementary Fifth-Grade Teacher Tammy Jarrells enjoyed

ence. “This brings history to life for
them,” Jarrells said. “It makes it realistic, and shows them how massive these huge ships were at the time.” Third-Grade Crum Elementary Teacher Melinda Roark agreed. “I love watching that light bulb happen, that ah-ha moment,” Roark said. “They’re really excited about today.” Third-grader Quistis Stanley was all smiles while she looked at and touched the Nina. “This looks really cool,” Stanley said. “I’ve never seen anything like this in real life.” Crum Elementary students were one of several school groups to take the one-hour tour of the ships at the park.

FOR THE TOPPING: • 3/4 cup yellow cornmeal • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon sugar • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder • 1/2 cup milk • 1 large egg, lightly beaten • 1 tablespoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions 1. Heat the oven to 400º. Place the potato, carrots, peas, broccoli, corn, and squash in a medium-size pot and fill it with enough water to cover the vegetables plus one inch. Lightly salt the water, bring it to a boil, then allow the vegetables to continue boiling for 4 minutes. Drain and rinse the vegetables with cold water and set them aside. 2. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven. Add the onion and mushrooms and sauté them, stirring often, until they're soft, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook the mixture, stirring nonstop, another 30 seconds. Add the vegetable broth, milk, salt, pepper, thyme, and celery seed and continue to stir until the sauce thickens, about 4 minutes. 3. Add the vegetables to the sauce and stir well. Add more salt and pepper, if desired, then stir in the Parmesan and bring the filling to a simmer. Thin it with water if its consistency is thicker than potato soup. Transfer the filling to a casserole dish. 4. Make the corn bread topping. In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add the milk, egg, and oil and stir until evenly blended. Spread the batter over the filling. Bake the cobbler until the top is golden brown and the sides are bubbly, about 25 minutes. Allow it to cool slightly before serving. Serves 8.

This is the last column I will be presenting on Figurative Language. The topic today is Irony, there are several types of irony. There is (1) dramatic irony and verbal irony where the poet has a character/person in his poetry that says one thing while in reality the poet meant just the opposite. (2) Irony of situation which is a twist of events causing an unexpected result. (3) Lastly you have Satire and Sarcasm, usually these are used in statement poetry, and here the writer addresses public figures or current events. We are coming into the holiday season. It would be wonderful to be able to include one holiday poem in each column from now until the end of the year. If you would like to see your poetry in print you can send it to the above address or email it to: cabellputnampoetry@hotmail.com and until next time keep reading and writing. ***** The Angler Standing before tranquil blush tones of an evening sky I the angler find solace with nature A sense of anticipation
permeates my soul Whilst musing the hues of an artificial nymph I cast my lot upon the calm Creating mirrored reflections on ripples of time A predacious strike from depths unseen Begets a water dance with one of Gods animate beings Capture to release and being ever so merciful I the angler upon the marrow shall stand again Under the tranquil blush tones of an evening sky.

WVSU fruit tree pruning workshop set for Milton MILTON -- Learn the proper technique for pruning fruit trees at a workshop hosted by West Virginia State University Extension Service Thursday, Nov. 29, from 9 a.m. to noon at the West Virginia Pumpkin Park in Milton. “Now is the time to start pruning, when trees aren’t actively growing,” said Scott Byars, program leader for Agriculture and
Natural Resources. “Pruning during the dormant colder months, generally November through February, allows for proper tree care and makes way for new growth in the spring.” Proper pruning can increase fruit size, as well as discourage disease by increasing air movement through the tree, Byars said. The workshop costs $10 and will take place outdoors, offering hands-on pruning opportunities. Participants are encouraged to dress appropriately. Registration is requested by calling Brad Cochran, extension associate, at
(304) 541-3301 or e-mailing bcochran2@wvstateu.edu. Registered attendees will be contacted if weather impacts scheduling. The West Virginia Pumpkin Park is located at One Pumpkin Way in Milton. West Virginia State University is a public, land grant, historically black university, which has evolved into a fully accessible, racially integrated, and multigenerational institution, located in Institute, WV. As a “living laboratory of human relations,” the university is a community of students, staff, and faculty committed to academic growth, service and preservation of the racial and cultural diversity of the institution. Its mission is to meet the higher education and economic development needs of the state and region through innovative teaching and applied research.

They are Marshall and They Will Never Forget
Velma’s View By Velma Kitchens Thanksgiving
By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
HUNTINGTON—The bright, noonday sun dances and sparkles on water, trickling down a fountain that represents a promise to Marshall University. It is a promise to never forget what happened more than four decades ago, when Marshall University was shaken to its very core. Nov. 14, 1970 will always be a day that is scarred by pain, loss and devastation. But, every year, since that heart-stopping day in November, students, teachers, alumni and local residents walk onto the brick-paved courtyard and gather around a fountain. They sit solemnly, watching water flow down from it. A somber, yet peaceful feeling always fills the atmosphere on Nov. 14, when hundreds unite to honor those who lost everything that fateful day. The overall sentiment Wednesday: They will never forget. At 11:40 a.m. there were about 500 people standing around the Memorial Student Fountain. Twenty minutes later: more than 1,000 were there. Overwhelming silence filled the air. It was as if the entire

Photo by Justin Waybright. campus and city had shut down for the afternoon. The moment felt somewhat divine as everyone in the massive crowd locked their eyes toward the fountain. Students wearing green and white, sat attentively with their hands crossed over their laps. Some had tears falling from their eyes while they listened to Marshall University President Stephen Kopp speak. “We still are and always will be Marshall,” Kopp said. “We are Marshall, and we will never forget.”
The sounds of clapping hands echoed through the chilly air. Head Coach Doc Holliday walked up to the microphone. Holliday spoke boldly. “The football program did not stop in 1970,” he said. “It continued…It began to stand for something more important.” Holliday went on to say, “Marshall University football will always be played for those who lost their lives on Nov. 14, 1970.” Moments later, water stopped flowing from the iconic fountain; not to flow again until spring.
HISTORY FROM PAGE 1 popularity these ships draw, comes from the historical aspects, said Senior Captain Morgan Sanger. “The kids never forget these ships,” Sanger said. “The teachers have always learned and taught them from a book, but this makes the history come to life.” Sanger said the ships were built in Brazil. They took about three years to construct. The Nina is about 93 feet long, the Pinta 125 feet long. The unique project was inspired years ago after a twodecade-stint in the ship yards of the Caribbean. “When I was 27-years-old, I began in the ship yards,” Sanger said. “I got fed up with it after about 20 years, so a group of us decided to build these ships.” Sanger continued, “We have been to 40 states and have seen millions of people. The freedom of sailing and meeting these incredible people is my favorite part of this job.” To learn more about this moving maritime history lesson call 787-672-2152 or visit www.thenina.com
I have been thinking about Thanksgiving and how we all should enjoy the season and be thankful for all that God has given to us. Some people have their family traditions of turkey, stuffing, mashed and sweet potatoes, corn, green beans, rolls, and pumpkin pie. When I think of Thanksgiving, I think of home. I like the smell of the turkey in the oven. The sound of the parade on TV. These are the things that are the same every year, but I enjoy them. I used to cook more than I do now, but I have learned to downsize. We don’t need to be eating turkey for three days after Thanksgiving. I think of the pilgrims who came to our country and how they had to gather their food, especially the turkey. The men had to go out and kill it for the women to cook. A lot of us would be turkey-less if it depended on the men to go out in the frozen tundra and kill the turkey and then bring it home for us to fix up. Reminds me of my Grandmother who had chickens and how she killed the chickens and then she had to pluck the feathers off after dipping in boiling water. You had to then singe the hair off the chicken, then you had to gut the chicken and cut it up, and then you fried your chicken. Lots of work, but good chicken. Thanksgiving should also be a day we set aside time for the Lord and His Word and give thanks to Him for all His benefits. If you don’t have a family tradition, you can easily start one. Having a thankful heart is pleasing to God. He gives us so much and we give Him so little. Now is the time to start being thankful. Psalms 100.
PHOTOS FROM PAGE 1 played on the "Military Recognition" tree which will be located in the Governor's Reception Room of the State Capitol Building during the holiday season. "Whether serving here at home or half-way around the world, our military men and women have answered the call to duty time and again, ensuring our safety and our freedom. I'm grateful for their selfless service and I'm proud of the strong traditions they represent," Gov. Tomblin said. "This year's 'Military Recognition' tree provides us with the opportunity to showcase our gratitude to the men and women who've sacrificed for us and our country." "With so many West Virginian's serving in our nation's military,
it's important for us to keep in mind the families who wait patiently for their loved ones to return," First Lady Tomblin said. "I believe this year's 'Military Recognition' tree will not only show our support for these families, it will honor those who have served and continue to servehere at home and abroad." All photos, along with the form and tag, must be received by November 23, 2012. The form and tag can be downloaded by visiting www.governor.wv.gov and clicking on the Governor and First Lady's Military Recognition Tree icon. Please note, photos will not be returned - they will be kept at the Governor's Mansion.

WeeklyDevotional By Mary Jane “BLESSINGS ” Thought for the week: And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. EXODUS 25: 8 (KJV) Since this is the month for giving thanks across our nation, which we should do every day every month, and in return receive blessings, this is a blessing I feel from the church I attend that is over two hundred years old. The original structure outside and the inside columns are the same as when first erected, most all windows, doors, carpet etc. have been remodeled. As I sit and look upon those columns with their wounds of time clearly etched on them, I seem to feel a closeness and blessing from God. This building was used as a hospital during the civil war of 1861. I can vision many stories, if those walls within could talk, would they tell us the numerous scenes played out during the civil war? Maybe a wounded soldier breathing his last breath of life, telling someone a message to send to his mother, or wife. Perhaps a young soldier who was selected to be a leader asking God for guidance for his troops, while guarding a nearby bridge; or a victory cry saying thank you Father in heaven that this war has finally ended after much unnecessary bloodshed by man during this war time . Those old, tall white columns have initials carved on them, they have gunshot holes and many scrapes and nicks. Nails and screws have been in and out the various layers of paint - still they stand sturdy and tall, and strong, as if reaching toward heaven, holding up a building that our ancestors in previous years provided as a house of worship to our heavenly father... This church has good singing, teachers, and leaders and you may meet your neighbor there, blessings can come in different forms, and this is one for me. To sit and look upon these same grand old columns, thinking, how many eyes with various feelings in their hearts - in times of trouble, sickness and joy - the many funerals, the many baby dedications, the many weddings, the many salvations of souls to GOD. They have endured. These tall strong, sturdy, structures, could teach us a lesson in life. Are you setting an example of strong faith to others in this life? Prayer: Our Father in heaven, thank you, for all buildings intended for the study and worship of your word. May we be pleasing you by attending and learning. Amen.

AG Darrell McGraw announces Time is Running Out to File Claims in Billion Dollar LCD Screen Price Fixing Settlement Consumers and Businesses must file claims by December 6, 2012 CHARLESTON - Attorney General Darrell McGraw wants to inform consumers and businesses that they are entitled to a cash refund from a billion dollar settlement fund. The fund is made up of settlements with ten manufacturers over an illegal conspiracy to raise the price of LCD (thin-film transistor liquid display) flat panels. LCD screens are used in televisions, monitors, and laptop computers. Our Consumer Protection Division strives to help the citizens of West Virginia and consumers have the chance to recover their money due to this settlement,” stated McGraw. “Unethical methods of conducting business will not be tolerated within our state.”
Eligible consumers could collect $25, $100, $200 or more depending upon the number of televisions, monitors, and laptop computers purchased. Businesses with large purchases could recoup thousands of dollars. The claims process is very simple. It only consists of a few questions about the number of LCD flat screen TVs, monitors, and laptops that were purchased from 1999 to 2006. Consumers and businesses are eligible for payments if they were residents of West Virginia or one of the other 23 settling states or the District of Columbia at the time of purchase. The 23 states included are: Arizona, Arkansas, California, Florida, Hawaii, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, New Mexico, New York,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and Wisconsin. The deadline to file claims is December 6, 2012, so the time to act is now. The easiest way to file claim is to use the online claim form <http://www.lcdclass.com> at www.LCDclass.com <http://www.LCDclass.com>. The Settling Defendants that manufactured the flat panels for use in LCD flat screen TVs, monitors, and laptops are: AU Optronics Corporation, Hitachi Ltd., Sharp Corporation, Toshiba Corporation, Samsung Electronics Corporation, Epson Imaging Devices Corporation, LG Electronics, Chunghwa Picture Tubes, HannStar Display Corporation, and Chi Mei Optoelectronics.

Christin’s Corner By Christin Daugherty Dear Christin, I recently went through a really bad breakup with my boyfriend of two years. I have never been so depressed in my life! My friends all say that I should just move on and find someone else, but…I don’t want anyone else. I can’t imagine anyone else making me feel the way that he did. What do you think I should do? Sincerely, Heartbroken Dear Heartbroken, Is it really better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? Sure doesn’t feel like it right now, does it? However, I think I know just the thing to make you feel better. This is gonna be really tricky, so I want you to listen closely. Take… care… of… yourself. Doesn’t sound that tough, now does it? Don’t worry about the ex. Don’t worry about what your friends say. I want you to worry about nothing but YOU! That’s it. After every one of my 5,000 breakups (that’s an exaggeration, by the way), my friends would always tell me the same thing. “You need to find someone else to help you get over so-and-so.” Of course, I tried it a couple of times, but I found that it only made me feel even more unfulfilled and confused. Have you ever heard the expression, “You can never truly love someone else until you learn to love yourself?” Well, I am here to testify that truer words have never been spoken! My latest run-in with love was the most remarkable to-date. There I was, with my head in the clouds and my heart on my sleeve, when suddenly…BAM! I’ll spare you the details, but I often compare it to having your heart
ripped out of your chest, then watching it get repeatedly ran over by a semi-truck. So, what did I do? Well, for awhile I felt just like you…lost. I didn’t think anyone could replace that person that I thought I would spend forever with. But you can only lick your wounds for so long before you have to just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward. And you need to know that this journey is not a simple one. It would be much easier to forget about the past by getting lost in a potential future with someone else. But nothing that is worthwhile in this life is meant to be easy. Remember that. Some women, perhaps even your friends, think that they have to be with a man in order to feel “complete”. On the contrary, the most complete I have ever felt was the moment that I realized: If I have to be single for the rest of my life, I will be ok. Once you get to that place, then having a significant other is just an added bonus, not a necessity. Give yourself a little time out of a relationship so that you may find out what it is that you want in one. You might just surprise yourself with how strong and independent you can be! “You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” Buddha Got a problem?

Shop til You Drop! By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
BARBOURSVILLE - It’s that time of year when full-bellied, sleepy-eyed shoppers pile into stores across the nation in hopes of finding that big bargain. In Cabell County, the Huntington Mall is gearing up for the annual all-night “shopping superbowl,” known as Black Friday. Earlier in the week, retail workers unloaded cardboard boxes full of sale items, hung holiday décor in their department stores and geared up for one of the busiest days of the year. Elder-Beerman Store Manager Jane Davis is ready. Davis and her workers are excited about the specials their store is offering shoppers on Friday. “We’re going to have 500 different door-busters,” she said. The friendly service, atmosphere and prices this store offers, consistently draws large crowds during the Holiday Season. Last year, a line of people stood at the front door, anticipating great deals on sale items. “The coupons and doorbusters will give shoppers some great buys,” Davis said. “Our prices are absolutely fabulous.”
Thousands of shoppers from across the Tri-state will pass by this sign as they pull onto the busy parking lot of the Huntington mall, early Friday morning. For thousands of dedicated shoppers, the sun will not be out while they are hunting for deals inside the mall’s 150 stores. Photo by Justin Waybright. Huntington Mall Marketing Director Margi MacDuff has worked through 10 Black Fridays. MacDuff has watched the famous shopping day evolve into a major attraction in Barboursville. “Every year, it gets bigger and bigger, and earlier and earlier,” she said. “Once you hit Black Friday, it’s a whole other scenario.” A decade ago, mall doors opened at 6:00 a.m., MacDuff said. A few years later, doors opened at 4:00 a.m. This year, officials are opening the doors to the
Huntington Mall at 11 p.m., Thanksgiving Night. Shoppers will have 22 hours to grab those special bargains, because more than 150 stores inside, are open until 10 p.m., Friday. Although stores will not open until midnight, Friday; there will be plenty to entertain guests and make the early trip worth their while. The dedicated shopper will enjoy more than just the hunt for a bargain. He or she will experience a true shopping celebra-

Beginning at 11 p.m., Thursday, shoppers can take part in the “Rock the Mall Midnight Ball.” During this event, the first 1,000 people to arrive will receive a free tote, filled with gifts and coupons. One of these totes will feature a special prize: the opportunity to shop 30 minutes before anyone else. During the ball, guests can also enjoy music, games, snacks and refreshments. A spokesperson from Big Sandy Superstore Arena will announce an upcoming concert, and give free, frontrow-tickets to 10 lucky winners in the mall. At midnight, officials will light the large Christmas Tree inside the mall. “The idea is to have a big party,” MacDuff said. Last year, officials counted
more than 50,000 vehicles on the mall parking lot. MacDuff hopes that number grows this year. “We want to be the shoppers’ destination for the Holiday Season,” she said. “We want to promote excitement, and we want to be that spot to go to when you’re trying to find something perfect.” Shoppers’ Safety Tips During the Holiday Season • Keep your purse and wallet on or near you • Keep your children next to you • Place packages and merchandise in your trunk • Lock your vehicle’s doors • Do not park in fire lanes • Be aware of traffic If you see suspicious activity in or outside the mall, contact mall security.

The leaves are falling, the days are getting shorter and pretty soon it will be time to whip up your favorite mashed potatoes and roast the turkey for Thanksgiving. As Thanksgiving marks the beginning of the holiday season this winter, it’s important to remember safety precautions for you and your family while the house is full and a lot is going on. Use these tips from USA.gov to keep your Thanksgiving safe and fun: Cooking for a group can be much more challenging than a normal meal. When family comes together for Thanksgiving, it can be hard to keep track of who is in charge of the kitchen and to make sure all the food is cooked properly. Make sure you know how to prevent bacteria from getting into the food and causing food borne illness. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture offers advice on storing and preparing food for groups whether you’re cooking in advance or making food the day of the event. Everyone may have his or her personal favorite Thanksgiving dish, but for most, nothing is as important as the turkey itself. Making sure you have the perfectly tasting and displayed turkey can also be stressful. Not sure what size to get? A good rule of thumb is to allow one pound per person. Whether you’re using a fresh or frozen turkey, there are important guidelines to follow in the days leading up to Thanksgiving and while preparing the turkey. While cooking, remember the rest of your family around you. Make sure young children are out of the way of the oven and other
hot cooking appliances. If you are cooking outdoors, monitor your food closely to prevent a fire. You can review more Thanksgiving Day cooking tips ahead of time so you don’t need to worry later on. While dinner’s cooking and you’re spending time with the family, you can fill the kids in on where Thanksgiving came from and why America honors this important holiday. President George Washington first recognized Thanksgiving, but it didn’t become a commemorative holiday each year until President Abraham Lincoln issued an official proclamation. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving or just contributing to the meal, remembering these food safety tips can help keep your holiday happy.

Grill-Roasted Turkey: A Tasty Twist On Tradition (NAPSA)-If you want a tradiperfectly carved, tional, Thanksgiving turkey but would like to bring a delicious twist to the meal, then look to chef, cookbook author and James Beard-award nominee Kathy Gunst. She has discovered a way to bring the tradition of the Thanksgiving turkey to the holiday table in an unconventional way. Every Thanksgiving, Kathy Gunst roasts a turkey in the oven, but one year she had a larger crowd than usual and needed to cook two turkeys. "So, on a colder-than-normal November day, I decided to grill-roast a second turkey," says Gunst. "The recipe, it turns out, couldn't be simpler." Grilling the bird resulted in a picture-perfect glazed turkey with juicy meat and a subtle smokey flavor. "This recipe is nothing short of a revelation. You will not believe how a plain old turkey, simply seasoned with salt and pepper, placed on a hot grill, can have this much flavor with so little fuss," says Gunst. Grilled Turkey 1 10-12 pound turkey Cleaned and dried. Salt and freshly ground black pepper, seasoned to taste. Heat a fire in the grill (charcoal or gas) and cook a small (10 to 12 pound) whole turkey over indirect heat with a minimum of seasoning. Be sure to place a shallow pan underneath the bird atop the charcoal or burner covers to catch the drippings and reduce flare-ups. Grill for approximately 2 hours (use thermometer to check for doneness). Stuff the bird and/or add an array of vegetables to the grill, like stuffed squash, corn on the cob, or turnips and potatoes for a complete meal. Add your vegetables to the grill 30 minutes or so before the turkey is done. Once the meat is cooked and cooled the bird is ready for carving. "I can't overestimate how important it is to have a good, sharp knife for carving the bird. It should be very tender and carve easily, but a wellsharpened favorite carving knife will make things that much easier," says Gunst. Chef'sChoice(r) Turkey Carving Tips: Three Easy Steps If you want the turkey you serve "gobbled up" this holiday, avoid hacking the bird by trying these simple carving tips from Chef'sChoice(r):
Give Thanks!
Happy Thanksgiving
• Step 1 Be sure to use a good, sharp knife. Sharp knives are not only safer, they will help you to smoothly cut thin, even slices without shredding the meat. Fortunately, you don't have to be an expert to put a razor sharp edge on your knife. Chef'sChoice M130 sharpener professionally sharpens steels and strops all brands and types of knives. Precision guides eliminate guesswork for sharp, durable edges. For help finding a sharpener that's right for you, call (800) 342-3255 or visit www.chefschoice.com. • Step 2 After the turkey is cooked (meat thermometer should
read 180° F when inserted in the thickest part of the turkey thigh) cool the bird for 15 minutes. Cooling makes the meat firmer and easier to slice. Remove and set aside the turkey legs and the last joint of each wing. Make a long, deep (to the bone) horizontal "base cut" into the breast just above the wing. • Step 3 Slice down vertically through the breast until you meet the original base cut. This will release perfect, even slices. Following these preparation and carving tips can help make your Thanksgiving a meal to remember.

(NAPS)—The holidays should be a time to reconnect with our loved ones, not exhaust our energy and financial resources. If the season has become more stressful than joyful, it’s time to get back to holiday basics. The experts at Grocery Outlet Bargain Market can help you stay focused on what’s really important this year with tips to prevent you from overstressing and overspending. How To Simplify The Holiday Season Get ready. Take inventory of your supplies early on. Buy items such as wrapping paper, tape, ribbons, stamps, boxes and pantry staples (sugar, flour) well in advance of the holidays. You can look for discounted items when you’re not rushed. Revisit your family traditions. Think through holidays from years past. Which activities caused you anxiety, stress and precious time? Focus on what makes you happy and eliminate what stresses you out. Don’t overcommit. Don’t say “yes” to every invitation. Save room in your schedule for things that might pop up at the last minute.

Evaluate your gift list. Limit gifts to children only. Pick names or host a gift exchange. Focus on gifts from the heart. Give gifts that show your love— not the size of your wallet. Grandparents will likely value a photo album or a framed piece of children’s art far more than expensive presents. Stay home. A holiday staycation eliminates the numerous stresses and expenses that come from travel. Shop strategically. Sometimes, the places that will save you the most money might not be your go-to store for certain items. For example, extreme discount re-
tailer Grocery Outlet also sells personal care products, toys, decorations and kitchen supplies— at prices up to 50 percent less than traditional stores’. Tips For The Big Holiday Meal Make it potluck. Ask your guests to contribute an appetizer, side or dessert. Ask visiting relatives to make breakfast, so you can focus on the turkey. Prep ahead. Chop, measure and prepare as much as you possibly can in the days leading up to a big holiday meal. Fake it. Not everything needs to be made from scratch. Grocery CONTINUED ON PAGE 13

Slide two slices butter under skin of the breast and one slice on each drumstick, also under the skin. Place turkey, breast up, on a roasting rack in a shallow roasting pan. Sprinkle turkey cavity generously with salt and pepper. Place three butter slices and lemon slices in main cavity. Tuck wing tips under. Tie legs together loosely. Rub the last slice of butter on the outside breast skin. Sprinkle outside of turkey generously with salt and pepper. Transfer turkey to the oven. Cover breast and top of drumsticks with aluminum foil once they begin to brown to prevent them from drying out.

Happy Thanksgiving
The Cabell Standard
Holiday Cooking and Fire Safety Cold weather—and holidays-bring increased risk of fire. • In fact, Thanksgiving is the leading day of the year for home fires involving cooking equipment. That makes safety in the kitchen very important, especially when children are at home. • Children and older adults face a higher risk of death from cooking fires than anyone else. • Make sure children are kept at least 3 feet away from stoves and any other equipment that can become hot and they should be kept away from hot food and liquids. Children can be easily and seriously burned if they’re not supervised. • If you choose to deep fry a turkey, the same rules apply about keeping children and pets well away. • Deep fryers should be used very carefully according to directions. Keep in mind you’re heating oil to high temps over an open flame, and splashed oil can cause extremely serious burns. • Have a fire escape plan. Every family member should know at least two ways out of each room, and know to get out of the house whenever the smoke alarm sounds. Decide ahead of time on where to meet once everyone is out, and NEVER call 911 from a burning house unless you are trapped inside. • Working smoke alarms save lives! Having working smoke alarms in your home can give you advance warning if there’s a fire. If your alarm sounds, take it seriously. You only have a few minutes to escape a house fire. • If you haven’t changed the batteries in your smoke & carbon monoxide alarms yet this year, now is a good time. • REMEMBER: Taking just a little time for fire prevention during the holidays can go a long ways towards saving your family’s lives! • For more fire safety information, check out these websites: www.nfpa.org, www.homesafetycouncil.org, www.usfa.dhs.gov.

Be Safe in the Trees
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
You might think that since I've hunted all my life, I've probably spent half my life in a tree-stand. Actually, I can only remember climbing into a tree-stand once in my life and never repeated the experience. Even to me, this seems a bit strange, since I actually did spend half my childhood climbing trees. When I was a small child, my favorite was a very old apple tree in the backyard. That's mostly because it was so easy to climb, but it also had this Garden of Eden aura
around it, in the sense it was a forbidden tree that I wasn't allowed to climb. I could climb very high without running out of limbs. If you climbed trees as a kid, you know what I'm talking about – as you go up the tree, there's a specific path of limbs you have to take to go up and you inevitably reach a point when there are no more limbs within reach. But, as an adult, I'm not so limber and agile anymore. I like moving around too much. I move. I like driving deer – and developed a few techniques to drive them to myself even – and once you're up in the tree, you're stuck in the tree and I am very claustrophobic. Many hunters though, especially bowhunters, love the treestand and they are great things. Project STAND, which “stands (pun intended) for “Stop Treestand Accidents N' Deaths” says that annual tree-stand sales number over one million units per year. That's a lot of elevated hunters. According to STAND, 10 percent to 30 percent of hunters who hunt from an elevated stand will have an incident sometime during their hunting career.
Some of those unfortunate folks don't live to tell the tale, while others suffer temporary or even permanent injury. One interesting point that STAND makes is that some states have actually reported higher fatality rates with tree-stand incidents than with firearm incidents. A major part of the problem is education. If you were born the year I was born – or after – you have to pass a hunter-education course to hunt and they teach about tree-stand safety. If you were born after me, then you don't have to pass the course and the state deems it your own responsibility to educate yourself so you don't get hurt. All they can do for that group of hunters is send out a press release every year, but these things are important to know. You'd think that we'd be getting better as time goes on, but 2011 was the worst year ever for tree-stand injuries in West Virginia. Last year, there were 14 injuries and luckily – no fatalities. Most of this seems like common sense, but here goes: Before you hunt, before you even buy your tree-stand, take
some time to shop around and buy a stand and harness that's right for you, safe and comfortable. Don't forget comfortable, it's very important. Once you've got your stand, take the time to become familiar with how it works and how to install and use it safely. Sit down and read the instructions. Set up your stand at groundlevel first – by that I mean actually install it on a tree, but stand on the ground when you do it. Use all the recommended safety pins and straps to secure it. Get in it. When you choose your treestand location, choose as straight a tree as possible and watch out for rotten wood or dead, overhanging limbs (widow makers) that may fall. Be extra careful when hunting from a smooth-barked tree, such as maple, (non-shaggybark) hickory and beech when it's rainy. They are very slippery when wet. Of course, wherever you are use extra care when temperatures are below freezing and avoid using elevated stands when it’s icy. You'll need a safety strap that has a quick-release system and will hold you right side up and not restrict your breathing if you
fall. Always wear your safety strap when you're climbing, hunting or descending. Over the life of your tree-stand and equipment, keep your eyes peeled for wear, stress points and loose fasteners. Fix or replace any worn equipment immediately. Keep your equipment clean. Always use a haul rope to bring gear from the ground. 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. Keep at least two points of contact with the tree at all times when climbing or descending. Be extra careful when descending, that's when most accidents occur. Finally, keep yourself secured to the tree at all times, even when hunting. You can get drowsy and fall asleep while in the stand. If you're not secured, you could wake up on the ground, or not at all.
cause of fears of diseases that can spread among large numbers of elk gathered in too small an area, such as chronic wasting disease, scabies, foot rot and bovine brucellosis - all diseases that have potential to cause mass die-offs. The refuge has long been home to more elk than the land can sup-
port and about 7,000 elk rely on supplementary feed each winter. Because the order imposed no strict limits on feeding or hard-set dates, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has leeway in making changes and will do so based on climate, predation, forage and other conditions.

Outdoors Roundup Hurricane Sandy brings unusual fowl visitors to state Hurricane Sandy drove many types of Atlantic coast birds as well as other unusual fowl to provide some unusual sights for West Virginia birdwatchers. Bonapart gulls have been sighted at Tygart Lake State Park. In addition to sightings of gulls at Tygart Lake, over 5,000 ducks and gulls of various species have been recorded at Cheat Lake. The storm may have side-tracked the migration of saw-whet owls that typically pass thru the Tygart Valley area annually from late October into early November. Saw-whets are the smallest owl in Eastern North America. The typical call of a saw-whet is sort of a grasshopper sound that resembles a long crosscut saw being sharpened -- hence the name “saw-whet.” WestVirginia teen wins B.A.S.S. Junior World Championship Alex Goff, 15, Clendenin, a Her-
bert Hoover High sophomore, won the recent B.A.S.S. Junior World tournament on Alabama's Wilson Lake. Fishing in difficult conditions, he used a spinnerbait and Rat-LTrap to catch three fine bass. Despite temperatures dropping 30 degrees during the tournament, he managed to catch eight pounds of qualifying fish and tie for the day's largest catch with a three pound, seven ounce, largemouth. Goff is the first West Virginian to ever capture this esteemed title. Besides a trophy and bragging rights, he won a 16-foot Triton boat package, a $500 scholarship and a $100 Cabela's gift card. National Elk Refuge celebrates a century of conservation, will see herd reduction The National Elk Refuge is celebrating 100 years of conserving Elk. In 1912, the refuge was created following a series of severe winters that caused major elk die-
offs. During the winters of 1918, 1941, 1956, 1996 and 1997, the refuge has supported up to 10,000 elk. However, it's feared now that the refuge supports too many elk and the refuge has been given 15 years to reduce the size of its wintering elk herd to about 5,000 – be-

Photography 101: Nighttime Scene in Charleston
ISO: 400 Shutter: 15â&#x20AC;? Aperture/F-stop: 22 The great thing about night photography is the action that street lights and headlights can play. Simple head and tail lights really come to life in a portrait, if it is taken correctly. There is an obvious challenge you will face: poor ambient lighting. To overcome this, simply raise the cameraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ISO setting to 400 or above. I recommend no more than 400 ISO, because of the lack of noise or graininess this setting produces. Be prepared with either a tripod or something steady on which to lay your camera. The shutter needs to be open for at least 10-20 seconds depending
on the amount of ambient light that is available. On this shot I placed the camera on a porch rail, and then pressed the button to take the shot. With a long shutter speed like the one I used, the camera could not be touched or disturbed for 15 seconds as it completed the exposure. Long shutter speeds can often add creativity and uniqueness to an otherwise dull scene. The best advice: practice and experiment with the shutter speeds your camera has. Just remember: the longer the shutter speed, the longer the camera must remain perfectly still and undisturbed. If the camera is shaken or even experiences the slightest vibration, the exposure will come out blurry and distorted.
