Salt Rock teacher to appear on Wheel of Fortune

By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

SALT ROCK – Salt Rock Elementary School first grade teacher Jessi Pierson will appear on an upcoming episode of the popular television game show Wheel of Fortune.

The episode featuring Pierson was filmed in August and will air during the week of Oct. 22.

Pierson cannot reveal how she did on the show prior to its broadcast later this month, other than to say she was pleased with the way it turned out. Local viewers can find Wheel of Fortune on WSAZ NewsChannel 3 weekdays at 7 p.m.

“I have always wanted to be on the show and have watched it with my Nana since I could read,” said Pierson. “She is the one who inspired me to tryout.”

Pierson tried out for the show last spring, when a traveling “Wheel Mobile” made a stop in

West Virginia at the Mardi Gras Casino in Nitro. She said that she and several other people went to

the local audition and filled out applications to appear on the program.

At the local auditions, people were picked at random to come up on stage and play the game.

Pierson said that she wasn't picked and thought her chances of appearing on the show were over.

However, a few months later, producers contacted Pierson by email and asked her to come for an audition.

“One thing on my application form that I think caught the eye of the Wheel of Fortune staff is that I was MissWestVirginia USA 2009,” said Pierson, who went on that year to place in the Top 10 in the Miss USA Pageant, while also winning Miss Photogenic.

WV Pumpkin Festival Parade, 5-K Run, Oh My!

By Trudy Black trudyblack@thecabellstandard.com

The WV Pumpkin Festival Media Dinner, held on September 18th, gave folks a preview of the upcoming Festival.

A Horse Show on September 22nd saw riders and onlookers reaching for their jackets as the autumn air turned cool and crisp throughout the evening.

Then, early Saturday, September 29th, runners were out in full-force to participate in the 5k run.

As the race ended, it wasn’t long before the annual WV Pumpkin Festival Parade hit the streets of Milton… and a parade it was!

With bands, various floats,

Cabell Midland Band put on a show for the hundreds of people who came out to see the 2012 Pumpkin Festival Parade. Photo courtesy of the West Virginia Pumpkin Festival. politicians and much more… the 2012 Parade was one NOT to miss.

This year, parade-organizers

‘worked it out’ so that area bands could participate in the parade prior to a band competition to be held later that day at Cabell Mid-

land.

The 90-minute parade made its way from Pumpkin Park to Route 60, then east where the bands were ‘fed’ into the parade, from there it was back Route 60 west and through town.

This year, there was a performance area where the bands were judged. Late Saturday night, following the competition at Ona, winners were crowned.

Spring Valley High School won the parade competition, while Capital High School won the field competition and was the overall grand champion for the ‘first ever’ Harvest Champions event.

Many of you will ask, “So what’s coming next?” And we can tell you, the best is still to come!

“We are looking to build on last year’s overwhelming support for the Generation Huntington program,” said Matt Lockhart, an

attorney with Huddleston Bolen and the YPC Community Development Chair. “The theme is simple. If you know a young professional who lives or works in the Huntington area that you truly believe is a future leader of this city, we want to know about By showcasing these them. young professionals through the Generation Huntington program, we are informing the Huntington community that it will remain in good hands once the current leaders of the area pass the torch.”

Just last month, the YPC teamed with the Rahall Transportation Institute and Bulldog Creative Services to paint the 8th Street Viaduct in an effort to improve the appearance of one of Huntington’s thoroughfares.

Thought for the week: Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; And why was I then more wise?

Then I said in my heart, that this is also vanity. ECCLESIASTES: 2:15 (KJV) As I was attempting to clean out and dispose of collected items in my storage area today, I thought of the recently read bible verse – this is but vanity - my husband collected nutcrackers, old bottles, stamps and walking canes, what to do with them? I on the other hand have a collection of old dishes, records albums, and various knickknacks.

What to do with them? Your children don’t want them, and probably never will, each person collects something in life, it is our individual likes, and maybe it was something we wanted as a child so now we can have it. Whatever we collect it soon becomes a habit and we seek it out unconsciously.

Wise thoughts also come as we mature what to do with this or that - something you once thought you could not part with is now easy to pass on or let the dust continue to gather on it. While we stop at yet another garage sale and add something else to the collection, it’s just the exciting fun of the find, we cannot seem to kick.

I know from experience cleaning out my parents home when they passed, after family, the majority of items go to a thrift store or is disposed of, because no one else wants it …so what to do with it, I suppose there are collectors who love it, but in due time all of us leave this world with a caboodle of items that tells what kind of person we truly were, our likes and dislikes in our life time.

Soon, we realize we need very little to make us happy, and God provides all that we need and more. However, it’s a Friday, a fall day so let’s see----------ummmmmmmmmmmm how many garage sales are listed locally in the paper today?

Prayer: Our loving father, thank you for making us wiser with age, may our collection of GOOD DEEDS TO OTHERS IN LIFE, BE WHAT COUNTS AS VALUEABLE Amen.

Directions In a large skillet over medium heat brown the ground beef.

Drain the grease. Add pasta sauce and simmer for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, 2 cups of the mozzarella cheese, eggs, half of the grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt and ground black pepper.

To assemble, in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish evenly spread 3/4 cup of the sauce mixture. Cover with 3 lasagna noodles, 1 3/4 cup of the cheese mixture, and 1/4 cup sauce. Repeat layers twice. Top with 3 noodles, remaining sauce, remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Add 1/2 cup water to the edges of the pan. Cover with aluminum foil.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

To continue with the series on Figurative Language today I am writing on the use of hyperbole or over-statement. Hyperbole is an exaggeration, which is used to enhance a truth. Such as “the shout heard around the world”, we all know that is an impossibility. Yet those words express a very clear thought, there is no doubt in your mind what the writer meant by that. There is also understatement, which is where the writer uses less force or emphasis than you might think the subject requires. Such as the writer calling a tornado a storm or a scream a whisper. As with all uses of figurative language the writer decides to use one of these tools to make a point. Why don’t all of you out reading try hyperbole or understatement in a poem and sent it in this week. As always we are thrilled to showcase our local talent. Don’t be shy, send us your poems at the above address or at cabellputnampoetry@hotmail.co m *** Truth Decay (Inspired by Karen Beardmore) Dentists' doings, do delay the inevitable Tooth Delay

WVPA leads celebration of National Newspaper Week CHARLESTON — With National Newspaper Week slated for Oct. 713, the West Virginia Press Association is marking the industry observation by sharing its latest readership numbers for daily newspapers in the Mountain State.

The WVPA, after collecting print and online reader estimates from the state’s 22 daily publications and comparing them to totals from 1982, finds that newspaper industry readership has increased 11 percent during the last 30 years.

“With both print and online editions providing greater access to our news reports each day, newspapers in West Virginia are able to reach more and more people,” said Don Smith, executive director of the West Virginia Press Association. “The newspaper industry is embracing the Internet as another delivery method and using online editions to access readers at home, at work and 24 hours a day. Many newspapers report their websites are the most visited sites in their communities.

Often by a wide margin.”

As part of its recent annual convention, the WVPA collected the data for presentation to its membership. In a poll of daily newspapers, the WVPA asked the newspapers for their print circulation and their number of unique daily online viewers, a number that counts a website viewer only one time regardless of how many times that viewer visits the site per day. To provide contrast, the WVPA compared the numbers to 1982: the same year Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a worldwide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

In 1982, West Virginia had a population of 1,949,644 and the state's daily newspapers were print-only with a daily circulation of 495,431. That information is based on the U.S Census numbers and the WVPA 1982 Newspaper Directory.

Today, West Virginia has a population of 1,855,354 and the state's daily newspapers, which now offer a multimedia product, have an estimated daily print circulation and unique online viewer total of 548,370. That information is according to U.S. Census numbers, the WVPA 2012 Newspaper Directory and online estimates from the state’s daily newspapers.

“Those within the newspaper industry know how much the communities and readers value our newspapers. As the theme for National Newspaper Week states ‘Newspaper: The cornerstone of your community,’” Smith said, “but it was good to see the numbers. An 11 percent growth — esfrom an already pecially dominating period in terms of media influence — is exciting. We should also note that with the state’s population declining in that 30-year period, that growth in readership means our newspapers are reaching an additional 4 percent of the total West Virginia population each day.”

Smith thinks those numbers are conservative in that the figures don't reflect the fact that, in many households, two or three people read the same newspaper or use the same computer to view newspaper websites, or that newspapers in businesses and offices are often shared and passed along to the next patron. He also noted that the employment and reader/viewer numbers don't yet reflect the totals for the state's 59 weekly newspapers. The WVPA plans to gather the same data from the state's 59 weekly newspapers later this year.

“No one can dispute the impact of the Internet on the newspaper industry; we have noticed, however, that most analysis only addresses the change in print circulation. We must also look at

the growth of online viewers,” Smith said. “The development of online readership has dramatically increased the newspaper industry’s total customer base and its influence.”

“West Virginia newspapers are getting their message to more people each day and a greater percentage of the population than they were 30 years ago, a time when newspapers were widely considered the dominant media force in West Virginia. That's a story West Virginia newspapers need to tell more often. Our readers, advertisers, local officials and leaders need to know we continue to build market share and influence in West Virginia,” Smith said.

“The WVPA thought National Newspaper Week was the right time to share the story.”

Overall, there are 81 newspapers in West Virginia, located in all 55 counties, according to the WVPA. Of those newspapers, 22 are daily publications. A same WVPA poll of daily newspapers found that 2,950 people directly receive income from the production or delivery of daily newspapers in West Virginia.

“How important are 2,950 jobs in today's economy? By way of comparison, state officials are still ecstatic — after granting a $20 million incentive package — to have a Macy's distribution center in Berkeley County that will employ 1,200 people,” Smith said.

“The newspaper industry offers jobs and careers. The positions are stable, varied and located in some of the most beautiful places in West Virginia. Great places to raise a family and build a life.”

“We think there are many reasons to celebrate National Newspaper Week,” Smith said. “As the WVPA promotes, ‘Newspapers are good business in West Virginia.’”

Governor Tomblin proclaims statewide “College Application and Exploration Week” CHARLESTON – Governor Earl Ray Tomblin has proclaimed October 1 through 5, 2012 as “College Application and ExplorationWeek” in the Mountain State in an effort to assist more students in preparing for education and training beyond high school. More than 70 middle and high schools, colleges and universities, and community organizations across the state will host events and activities designed to help students and families in exploring and applying to higher education programs. The College Foundation of West Virginia (CFWV) coordinates the “College Application and ExplorationWeek” initiative, now in its third year.

CFWV is a college- and careerplanning initiative led by the West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission (Commission), in conjunction with the West Virginia Council for Community and Technical College Education (Council), the West Virginia Department of Education, and the West Virginia Department of Education and the Arts.

“Our participation in College Application and Exploration Week is an example of West Virginia’s leadership in addressing a nationwide effort to increase access to postsecondary education for students

today so they will be ready to lead in tomorrow’s workforce,” Governor Tomblin said. “Completing some form of education and training beyond high school, whether through certificate programs, twoyear degree programs, or four-year degree programs, is an essential step for our citizens as they strive to compete in the global workforce.”

Schools and organizations participating in the event have planned a variety of activities, including college application labs and workshops, college scavenger hunts and trivia contests, and panel discussions with current college students. Colleges and universities are participating in a variety of ways, ranging from assisting with middle and high school activities to planning events to help adults return to the classroom to continue their education.

Dr. Paul L. Hill, the Commission’s Chancellor, said the week is about more than just asking students to complete college applications.

“College Application and ExplorationWeek is an opportunity to increase awareness regarding the diverse academic offerings available across the state’s higher education system,” Hill said. “This collaborative effort among K-12, higher education, and community

organizations builds enthusiasm for education and training beyond high school by encouraging students who have not yet realized their full potential and assisting them in discovering their options — and ultimately — their passion.”

James L. Skidmore, the Council’s Chancellor, said that the week encourages students to link college choices with career paths. “College isn’t the same for everyone,” Skidmore said,“With the escalating skill requirements for high-wage jobs, we encourage every student to consider some form of education and training beyond high school, and there are a wide variety of options available. Our state’s community and technical college system offers excellent degree programs to help students prepare for jobs in high-paying technical and skilled labor fields.”

Participation in the initiative is open to any service organization, middle or high school, and college or university in West Virginia. Participating groups were asked to register in advance and organizations were provided with a toolkit for implementing the program, including several online resources available at CFWV.com, the state’s free college- and career-planning web portal.

Arts in Action Brings Martial Arts Classes For All Ages!

Tuesday,October 2,2012 – Page 7

Velma’s View

By Velma Kitchens

HURRICANE - Adonai Do (The Way of the Lord), Psalm 144, offers traditional ranking karate classes for children, teens, and adults. Our focus is on the study of karate in a “One Heart Way” Christian atmosphere as a means of personal improvement, mental and physical, for each student. The student will advance through registered ranks from beginner through black belt.

Adonai Do also teaches school children the ABC’S of Bully Defense. This will help the student build character and confidence, as the student will learn proven skills needed to make the correct choices when confronted by a bully, learn to identify a bully by their looks, actions and speech, and learn who might be a victim of a bully and why. Students of the program reap numerous benefits of a martial arts program including higher self-esteem, confidence, focus, awareness, discipline, kindness, self-respect and respect for authority, and self-defense with power under control.

Instructor Sensei Doyle Wilheim holds five black belts in traditional Okinawa and Japanese karate. He has been studying karate for over 40 years. Sensei Doyle was awarded rank and title as a master teacher, and inducted into the Washi-Kai Black Belt Hall of Fame. His summary of the beginning month of classes was as follows: "The children in my karate class amaze me with their young intellects and ability to learn. Just three weeks at Arts in Action and they are beginning to speak Japanese, practicing three opening salutations, multi-kicking and striking techniques, blocking drills, self-defense bag work, and conversations about how to handle bullies the wrong way and the correct way." Wilheim's focus is on retention; dynamic movement with high energy level, moving quickly in and out of activities with teamwork as the key that leads to mastery.

In addition to Karate, Arts in Action also provides education in the form of dance cheerleading,

drama, art, percussion, piano and voice and is also home to the Appalachian Children’s Chorus. Arts in Action continues to help children and young adults not only learn new skills, but to also reap the numerous benefits of higher selfesteem, improved academic achievement and discipline, to name a few. “At Arts in Action we are passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of our students through the arts” stated Cookie Samworth, Artistic Director of MasterPiece Dance. “The benefits of these skills and a background in the arts will follow a child into adulthood.” Stated Joni Cantrell, Founding Director of Arts in Action, who has been teaching for 32 years.

Arts in Action is a 501 (c) (3) organization who offers financial aid and family discounts to qualifying families. For more information call 304-419-4446 or email joni@artsinaction.info or check out www.artsinaction.info for more detailed information.

The Greatest Day The greatest day in my life was the day in 1982 when I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I will never ever regret that choice I made one day in March. I realized I was a sinner on my way to Hell and that Jesus died in my place on the cross, was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures. The Word of God is the only Word that matters. As long as we are looking to the Word of God for answers we will have them.

Two ladies from my Church came knocking on my door on a Monday morning and shared with me the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so glad they gave of their time for such a one as I. I have never been ashamed of Jesus and His Word. I have been ashamed of myself for not being the Christian I should be, but I know I have eternal life with my Savior.

All we need to do is ask Him into our hearts and He will come in.

Fall forest fire season started Monday, Oct. 1st CHARLESTON — The West Virginia Division of Forestry reminds residents that the state’s fall forest fire season started on Oct. 1, 2012, and runs through Dec. 31, 2012.

During these three months, daytime burning is prohibited from the hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outdoor burning is permitted only between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 a.m.

State law requires a ring or safety strip around outdoor fires to keep the fire from spreading into the woods. This safety strip must be cleared of all burnable material and be at least 10 feet wide completely around the debris pile.

Additional requirements of the state’s fire laws include staying onsite until the fire is completely ex-

tinguished, and only burning vegetative materials like leaves, brush and yard clippings.

If you allow a fire you have started to escape and it causes a wildfire or forest fire, you will be subject to fines ranging from $100 to $1,000. An additional civil penalty of $200 also will be assessed against you.

The Division of Forestry offers these tips for safe outdoor burning: •Burn only after 5 p.m. — it’s the law — and put your fire out com-

pletely by 7 a.m.

•Put debris in several small piles instead of one large one •Never burn on dry, windy days •Select a safe place away from overhead power lines, phone lines or other obstructions and where the fire cannot spread into the woods or weedy or brushy areas •Clear at least a 10-foot area around the fire and make sure the area is clear of all burnable material •Have water and tools on hand to extinguish anything that may

escape the burn area •Be conscientious of neighbors and don’t burn debris that produces a lot of smoke at times when smoke does not rise. If the smoke spreads out near the ground instead of rising, put out the fire and burn another time.

•Stay with the fire at all times until it is completely out. Leaving a fire unattended for any length of time is illegal.

•Call 911 immediately if a fire does escape Commercial burning permits

may be obtained by public utilities and people burning in conjunction with commercial, manufacturing, mining or like activities. These burning permits cost $125 each and are issued by local Division of Forestry offices. A permit is required for each site where this type of burning takes place.

To find out more about West Virginia’s burning laws and where you can obtain a burning permit, visit the Division of Forestry’s website at www.wvforestry.com.

When you visit the 2012 WV Pumpkin Festival, you’re sure to find something interesting at every turn.

A very special event at this year’s Festival will be The Wall That Heals. This half-scale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C. with more than 58,000 names is 250 feet long and 6 feet tall.

All military, active and Veterans, will be given free admission to the Pumpkin Festival, as a small token of thanks for all that our military do.

The Wall That Heals features a Traveling Museum and Information Center providing an educational component to enrich and complete visitor’s experiences.

The Museum chronicles the Vietnam War era and the unique healing power of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, while the Information Center serves as a venue for people to learn about friends and loved ones lost in the war.

Other events offered include: Great Entertainment, Chain Saw

Carver, Lye Soap Making, Spinning, Weaving, & Pottery Demonstration, Civil War Encampment, Demonstration, Blacksmith Apple Butter and Sorghum Molasses making, Grist Mill, Giant Pumpkin Contest, Zappo the Clown, Pumpkin Carriage Photos, Railroad Safety – Drive a Train, Arts & Crafts, and various Business Booths. And don’t forget while visiting the Festival to stop by one of the many food booths along the way… the food is just downright delicious!

Gates open daily at 9:00 a.m.; Thursday – Friday – Saturday 9:00 – 9:00; Sunday 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.

All Admission $5.00! Children 5 and Under – Free! Parking is just $1.00.

Each year, the Pumpkin Festival seems to grow bigger and better (if that’s possible)... and 2012 appears to be no different. Another great event put on by a lot of very hard-working people.

We’re sure you won’t want to miss a minute of the 2012 West Virginia Pumpkin Festival October 4, 5, 6 and 7 at West Virginia Pumpkin Park in Milton.

Saving Lives through Fire Safety & Prevention West Virginia fire departments need your help!

Every year, fire departments in the United States respond to more than 350,000 home fires, resulting in at least 2,500 deaths and more than 12,000 injuries. In some instances, fire-related injuries might have been prevented if the victims had received fire safety tips, installed working smoke alarms or practiced an escape plan.

A fire department’s first line of protection is educating the community. Each year, during Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 7-13, 2012), many local firefighters throughout West Virginia will be educating children

in fire safety and prevention during classroom visits, as well as teaching older adults and providing lifesaving information to people with disabilities.

However, as municipal budgets tighten, the supply of the materials they use in these trainings is at risk.

With the help of an online tool, fire departments are now able to invite others to purchase materials they need. Similar to a modern bridal registry, Sparky’s Wish List™ allows fire departments to register for the items they need (like DVDs, posters, stickers, etc.), and community members go online to make the purchases. The cost of individual

items starts at just $12.50, and the materials will be sent directly to the fire department.

Currently, ten (10) fire departments from all across our state have created wish lists, including Charleston FD, Bradley-Prosperity VFD, Triune-Halleck VFD, Buffalo VFD,WinfieldVFD, HedgesvilleVFD, Nutter Fort FD, South Charleston FD, Maysville VFD and Ghent Area

VFD. For many years,WestVirginia has continued to have one of the highest fire death rates in the nation.

Sixty-four (64) West Virginians died in what were mostly preventable fires between July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012.

Through additional fire safety education support, we can help our firefighters combat that figure. On

behalf of Sparky’sWish List and National Fire Protection Association, I urge your participation, and thank you for your support. For more information, including how to help, visit www.sparkyswishlist.org/give.

TEACHER FROM PAGE 1 show, Pierson said that she went through an intense process.

“We had to take a timed quiz that was graded upon how many puzzles we could solve within the time limit,” she said. “After they graded the quizzes they made a cut. Then, we went through several cuts after auditioning in front of the panel. We were judged on our puzzle solving skills as well as our enthusiasm, talking clarity, knowledge of the game, ability to call appropriate letters to solve the puzzle, our speaking skills when introducing ourselves, among other things. It was pretty intense.”

Following the audition, producers told Pierson that she would be notified by mail within two weeks if she had made the cut to appear on the show.

“I didn't get my letter until almost 3 weeks later, after I had already given up hope that I had made it,” Pierson said. “When I got the letter I was with my sister, mom, and nephew and I was screaming and jumping so insanely that I broke a board on my front porch.”

After receiving word that she had been selected to appear on the show, Pierson travelled to California in August to tape her episode.

“I went to tape the show at the beginning of August right before school started,” Pierson said. “The

Despite the excitement of traveling cross country to appear on a nationally syndicated television show, the trip was not all smooth sailing.

“Our flights were delayed several times and by the time we finally got to Los Angeles I got less than 2 hours of sleep before getting up and ready for the taping,” Pierson said. “Other than that, the trip was awesome.”

While Pierson had watched Wheel of Fortune many times through the years, actually being

on the set of the popular television show still contained a few surprises.

“The stage was much smaller than I expected,” she said. “The wheel was also much smaller than I expected, yet much heavier than I expected. I was actually sore the next day from spinning that heavy thing.”

Pierson said that she had a great time taping the Wheel of Fortune episode, and was impressed by long time host Pat Sajak and his partner Vanna White.

Outdoors in the Election

David Payne Sr.

Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

Outdoors folks have always been a major voting block and a stumbling block for many out-oftouch politicians trying to win a red state of good ol' boys – like West Virginia.

Remember when John Kerry tried to win us over with those photos of himself awkwardly holding a shotgun on a PR duck-

hunting trip? I'm sure his campaign staff thought he looked like Theodore Roosevelt on safari. For those of us who hunt and fish, I can't really print the word that best describes what he looked like, but it rhymes with black bass. It wasn't long after the election that he went back to sponsoring gun-control legislation.

I will admit, however, Clinton at least looked passable for a duck hunter.

This time it's different. The outdoors is out of the political arena this time. I think a lot of that has to do with the fact the U.S. Supreme Court did something positive for once by upholding the Second Amendment.

That doesn't mean there's nothing left to fight – in our own state, there's a big one, the Second Amendment stops at the tree line. For most of the year, you are not allowed to have a firearm in any area of the state forested, which is 80 percent of our great state. If you're camping, you can't even carry a revolver for protection.

That's tyranny I've been arguing against for years, but it always seems I fight it alone. Nobody but me seems to care. I did meet gubernatorial candidate Bill Maloney a couple of months ago and I briefly made my case that this was a gross Second-Amendment violation. He was, at least, receptive to my argument. He said “that doesn't sound right at all” and that he would look into this.

Whether he has or not, I don't know. All I can do is say “this is tyranny.”

Back to this election. It's pretty obvious where Paul Ryan stands, he's an avid bowhunter, but you haven't seen much on the presidential candidates themselves.

The group Keep America Fishing, however, asked candidates several questions about fishingrelated issues, which I will relay here this week and next.

Here is what they have to say about their personal fishing experiences: Obama: “Although I grew up fishing with my friends and grandfather

in Hawaii, I am not an avid sportsman and do not claim to be. I do, however, understand the importance of our nation's outdoor heritage and the key role that sportsmen play in the conservation of our natural resources. On the campaign trail in '08 I had the opportunity to spend some time in Montana and decided that, win or lose, I would go back there and learn to fly fish.

After taking office, I was fortunate enough to return to the state and fish the East Gallatin River. Despite having excellent guides and getting a few bites, the weather was tough that day and I didn't land a fish. I really enjoyed the challenge of fly fishing and I'm looking forward to doing it more.

I want to try for trout again but would also like to try saltwater and maybe catch a tarpon.”

Romney: “Growing up in Michigan, fishing was a prominent pastime in the area, and I truly understand the valuable role recreational fishermen play both in our economy and our environment. As a

boy, I fished with my dad, and in recent years, I went fishing in Alaska with my son, Matt.

Though my schedule makes these types of trips rarer than I would like, I realize that fishing is one of America's great opportunities to connect with family, friends, and nature. As president, those in my administration will work with fishermen to protect this great American heritage.

I gained a better understanding of the concerns and motivations of fishermen as governor of a coastal state. In Massachusetts, I was able to work with both commercial and recreational fisherman to ensure that our state's policies met their needs and that my administration understood their concerns. As president, I will draw on these personal and professional experiences to advocate for America's fishing community.”

Continued next week.

Outdoors Roundup Famous Shay No. 5 engine used to restore brook trout spawning areas It may seem like irony to some, poetic justice to others, but the same steam locomotive that used to haul timber from West Virginia forests a century ago is being used to improve fish habitat that its tracks damaged long ago.

On the morning of Oct. 1, just as the editions of The Putnam Standard and The Cabell Standard are being readied for mailing to subscribers, the Shay No. 5 engine departed the Cass railyard with three tons of speciallybaffled culvert liners. The train

hauled the material up Cheat Mountain to Oats Run, a tributary of the renowned Shaver's Fork of the Cheat River.

Workers installed the culverts to make it possible for native brook trout to access their historic upstream spawning areas.

The DNR, as well as West Virginia University researchers have been working together – often with help, expertise and funding from businesses, such as timber companies, to return once-pristine mountain streams to native brook trout fisheries. With grant funding from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Eastern

Brook Trout Joint Venture, DNR and WVU personnel have been undoing damage done by logging and trains in the early 1900s before the implementation of modern best management practices.

That damage makes it difficult for fish to move up and down streams to grow and reproduce.

The culverts will restore trout access to the tributary.

“Many brook trout streams were altered by dredging, installation of railroad culverts and bridges, and early-century logging itself,” said DNR director Frank Jezioro. “When you change the streams that way and take away the trees that help keep them cool, it’s hard for trout to live in them year-round.”

While the Cass railroad has long been a prized rail for passengers with an eye for scenic vistas, this trip was all business – carrying only the work detail.

Oats Run is located near the remote, historic logging town of Spruce. The Shavers Fork watershed, located high on Cheat Mountain in Randolph and Pocahontas counties, has suffered at

the hands of progress, but is now undergoing a remarkable makeover. Native brook trout which inhabited these streams once attracted famous sportsmen like Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone and Henry Ford who fished and admired this renowned fishery.

Archery Deer season open in West Virginia West Virginia's archery deer and bear seasons opened Sept.

29.

For the past several years, West Virginia has had a September opening for its deer archery season, instead of the traditional mid-October opening in an effort to expand recreational opportunities for hunters.

The wild boar archery season opens Oct. 13. The bear season is a split season that runs until Nov. 17 and again from Dec. 3 to Dec. 31.

Special stamps are required and different regulations apply in different counties.

Visit wvdnr.gov for more information.

DNR reminding hunters to check game.

With two of the state's biggame seasons – archery deer and bear - under way, the DNR is reminding hunters that they must fill out and attach a field tag to harvested game in the field.

For deer, the unskinned carcass or fresh skin and head must be checked in at an official checking station before it is transported beyond a county adjacent to the county of kill. It must be checked in within 72 hours of when it was harvested or within 24 hours of the season's closing. In Logan, McDowell, Mingo or Wyoming counties, however, the deer must be checked in the four-county area within 24 hours of the time of kill.

Deer killed outside these four counties cannot be checked within these counties.

For bear, the unskinned carcass or fresh skin must be checked within 24 hours after kill and before any part of the bear is transported more than 75 miles from the point of kill.

MARLENE AKERS WOLFE Marlene Akers Wolfe, of Huntington left this earthly classroom called life on September 23, 2012. She died peacefully at her home.

Marlene spent most of her 79 years illuminating the lives of children. She was born on Akers Mountain, Mercer County, W.Va., the daughter of the late Curtis and Verna Akers. Also preceding

her in death is her husband of 56 years, Clark Wolfe.

After graduation from Matoaka High School, Marlene attended Concord College for one year, then began her teaching career at Black School, a oneroom school house. Marlene completed her own education at Marshall University. Upon graduation she taught at several area schools including Davis Creek, Martha and Pea Ridge. In 1970, she began teaching at the Pea Ridge United Methodist Preschool, where she stayed until her retirement in 1998. During that time, Marlene became part of the nationwide discovery of just how much children could learn at early ages. By creating a fun environment, she encouraged creativity in her pupils, and demonstrated to many other teachers, her son included, that the best learning environment is one in which students can freely explore and follow their own instincts, all with the gentle guidance of love. Marlene was Methodist by faith and a member of the Pea Ridge United Methodist Church.

She is survived by her best friend and comrade in fun teaching, Sue Dameron; her son Matthew Wolfe; her granddaughter Katherine Wolfe; and her sister Patricia Bailey of Little Rock.

Her lessons will live on in the lives of the many people who count her as one of their favorite teachers.

At her request, there were no services.

The family requests that donations be made to Hospice of Huntington.

MIDLAND FROM PAGE 1 In addition to his 328 yards on 16 carries, Gaydosz had six of Cabell Midland's 10 touchdowns. What's moreastoundingisthatGaydoszdidn't totally carry the Knights offense.

CabellMidlandrelentlesslyproduced anunheardof742totalyardsand627 rushing yards. “(Woodrow Wilson) is a good ball team,” said Gaydosz, “We knew we hadtocomeoutandplayjustashard as we did against Huntington.”

Anyhangoverfromlastweek'sdramatic victory over the rival Huntington Highlanders had evaporated by kickoff. Parades, coronations, and dreams of dances didn't affect the Knights attack.

But Cabell Midland didn't exactly come out swinging.

After the Knights fumbled on the opening drive, Flying Eagle quarterback Andrew Johnson was intercepted by Alex Childers deep in Midland territory. During the return, Childers was stripped by Woodrow Wilson wide receiver Donte Nabors who returned it 12 yards on for the bizarre opening touchdown.

Cabell Midland answered on the nextdrivewhenGaydosznotchedhis firsttouchdownona32yardrunmidway through the first.

Then what started as a football game quickly became a track meet.

Within the last four minutes of the first, Woodrow Wilson's Ramon Edwards and Chase Hancock as well as Gaydosz each had touchdown runs over 70 yards.

Gaydosz found the endzone twice more in the half, amassing 197 yard
