Farewell to a Longtime Friend
Midland pounds Winfield By Bishop Nash For The Cabell Standard
WINFIELD- Cabell Midland must have an affinity for steamrolling teams on the banks of the Kanawha River. Following a 70-0 rampage at Riverside High School during Week 1, the Knights offensive machine had all cylinders firing again Friday night, pounding the Winfield Generals 63-19 on the road at Winfield. Senior running back Kasey Thomas racked up 188 yards and three touchdowns on the ground in addition to two touchdown receptions from Coy Pettit. Wide receiver Dontae Hendricks had scored each time he was handed the ball; three touchdowns on three touches. Following Midland’s seemingly effortless 28-0 explosion in the SEE MIDLAND ON PAGE 9

Woman Overcomes Impending Death By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
CHARLESTON - On the third floor of CAMC General, through the MICU, inside a hospital room, peace lives. It passes all understanding. It's a sword that destroys fear: a blanket that comforts. A miracle is defined as "An effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause." It's a word doctors, nurses, family and friends use to describe Kimberly Parsons. The sting of death came for the 29-year-old Frazier's Bottom resident just days ago. But she overcame. This is the story of the unexplained and the unimaginable. It's a look into the eyes of the supernatural: a tale of victory through the impossible; triumph over tragedy. It all began Friday Aug. 2 at Teays Valley CAMC, where Parsons arrived, suffering from severe back pain. The single mother was taken to Women's and Children's Hospital in Charleston. On Monday, doctors diagnosed her with an epidural mass between her 4th and 5th vertebrae. An ambulance rushed her to CAMC General for emergency surgery to remove the mass. After surgeons successfully removed it, defeat invaded victory. "She went into septic shock two hours after they removed the mass," said Parson's father Jeff Holmes. "Her bowels quit working and she suffered multi-organ failure." For 10 days, his daughter stayed on life-support. Hope faded by the hour. Prayers from thousands flooded
emails, phones, social media and the hospital room. "On August 14, we were broken down to our knees," said Parson's mother Debbie Holmes. "She wasn't responding well at all and the doctors felt her chances of surviving were miniscule." That evening, Jeff and Debbie went home to do the hardest thing they had ever done: plan a funeral for their daughter. They accepted that she was going to die. "It was the darkest time I've ever been in - you're at the lowest low you could ever be," Holmes said, looking at his wife. At 10 a.m. the next day, the griefstricken parents walked into the hospital room to see their daughter once more. As Jeff and Debbie Holmes entered, something unreal happened. "We came in and when we got there she was awake and answering questions," recalled Jeff. Doctors and nurses were baffled. Their patient had overcome impending death. "Less than 12 hours earlier, we were at our lowest of lows," Holmes said. "...But we know what happened." Debbie agreed. "Jesus intervened," she said with confidence. During this interview, a nurse walked into the room to check on Parsons. The young medical professional smiled. "Her outlook on everything continues to help her healing and so does the support of her friends and family," she said. "She's a fighter." When asked about the likelihood of survival for this condition, the nurse looked at Parsons and spoke with conviction. "She's a miracle...definitely," she said. Another nurse walked into the room. Joy covered her face.

"You have a lot of people here for you, hun," she said to Parsons. "A lot of people would never have made it to this point, but you're a fighter." Holmes agreed. He looked toward his daughter with pride. "She's an absolute miracle," he said. Holmes served as a critical care medic for more than 20 years. He transferred hundreds of patients suffering from similar life-threatening ailments. "From day-one, I knew how grave it could be - I knew how bad it was and how little of a chance she had without prayer and God," Holmes said. Parson's arms, legs, fingers and toes are blackened by the lack of circulation. Her fluid-filled lungs are cleared multiple times every hour by a suction device. She is fed through a tube, inserted into her stomach. Although in pain, the young woman cried tears of overwhelming joy as her parents recalled
everything she had went through. "I feel good...I'm a fighter and I will continue to fight," Parsons said. "This has helped make my faith much stronger." When asked what she looks forward to when returning home to Frazier's Bottom, the young mother answered the way any mother would. "Kissing my kids all over," she said. "I have my three babies to make happy." This area resident has walked through three miracles,according to family and friends. Parsons was born 2-1/2 months premature. The infant only weighed 2 pounds, 8.5 ounces. She overcame. At the age of one, Parsons suffered from croup and nearly died in a pediatric intensive care unit. She overcame. Days ago, Sepsis should have killed her, but it didn't. She overcame. At press time, the battle still raged around Parsons. Doctors had to remove a pinky and ring finger. The
medical staff plans to amputate both legs below the knee and the right arm above the elbow. Through it all, Parsons remains confident. Amid the pain, smiles still cover her face. Although, the future is unpredictable, the young woman keeps her faith and fears not. For more information on Kimberly Parson's story, visit http://www.facebook.com/groups /559526034083336. To make a donation to help with Parson's medical expenses, deposit to Account 35656 at: Pioneer West Virginia Federal Credit Union 1320 Kanawha Blvd. East Charleston, WV 25301 Parsons has a message for everyone reading this: • Always go to the doctor for even the simplest things • Don't assume it's nothing until you go to the doctor • Keep fighting because family and friends are always worth fighting for • Don't give up.

“PRECIOUS MEMORIES” Thought for the week: But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19 (KJV) In 1975 Barbara Streisand recorded a beautiful song about memories, Lyrics were; Memories lights the corners of my mind. Misty water color memories of the way we were, Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind, smiles we give one another for the way we were. My mother’s birthday was September 9th, she passed away in 1975 and I always remember this date, plus many other precious memories of her. Certain days can trigger a memory for most of us. We often have reminders of where we were on certain days, months, or years, and a visual picture comes to the mind of what we did on that day. Some of us, like Brother Carl,
can tell you the exact year of most events. Seems like at fall time, the winding down of seasons, we look back more so than other times of the year. The leaves of memory seemed to make a mournful rustling in the dark - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Now I have another important date this September to remember. My granddaughter Erin is traveling abroad as an American exchange student to the country of Finland to study medicine for four months. I ask God to be her protector. While at this young age of 20 she is making a lifetime of memories. She will always keep. The mind is the control center of the body, without it we could not function. I do not believe man will ever discover a way to repeat the process in which the mind can store and release a memory. We have human robots and computers as well as all
The Cabell Standard other electronic devices that can do numerous things, but the mind will not be replaced. This is God's soul control of each. Proverbs 10:7 - The memory of the just is blessed; but the name of the wicked shall rot. Do you remember the Bob Hope TV Show? It always ended with his song, Thanks --- for the memo-ries, now, if you can remember the tune to this song. Sing the words below to yourself for a laugh. “Thanks for the Medicare / for Blue Cross and Blue Shield / for a hip that finally healed / Remember, on Prescriptions, generic is a steal / We Thank you so much.’’ This was sung by the late Estelle Getty on the Golden Girls series. I wish you use this day to make a memory that you will cherish forever. Prayer: Our Father, like the song goes, roll back the curtain of memories now and then; show me where you brought me from and where I could have been, remember I’m human and humans forget, so remind. Remind me dear Lord. Amen.

Christian's Sports Beat: Local Players Shine for Herd Soccer Team
By: Christian Deiss
HUNTINGTON, WV – Two local soccer players are among the group of young student athletes that are playing for this year’s Marshall University Men’s Soccer Team. Trevor Starcher of Hurricane and Tommy Trupo of Scott Depot will be playing close to home this season. I saw Trupo and Starcher play on opening night of the team’s new soccer field, The Veterans Memorial Soccer Complex on campus of Marshall University. Trupo, a freshman forward, told me he was excited to be playing on the new field, “It’s very humbling because a lot of players before us who went through a lot of hard times just having a place to practice and I feel very grateful for all of the people who made it happen.” Trupo won high school state player of the year twice
while playing for Charleston Catholic. This summer I attended the Marshall Soccer Camp and Trupo was one of my coaches for the week-long school, “It was a great experience for me. It felt very good because I could give back to the community. I have been playing soccer since your age and to teach young players is awesome,” Trupo told me. Starcher, a red-shirt freshman midfielder also helped at the university’s soccer camp, “It’s was great to see a bunch of kids out there loving the game and wanting to get better and take their game to the next level.” Starcher was the state high school triple-a Midfielder of the Year in 2010 while playing for the Hurricane Redskins. The young Thundering Herd Squad only has three seniors this season, which means young athletes like Trupo and Starcher will have to grow up quickly, said Assistant Herd Soccer Coach Thomas Olivier, “You know Tommy has had some health issues but he is coming back strong, he and us just have to be patient and he’ll be fine. Trevor is coming along well and has made a lot of progress since red shirting last season and we expect for him to see a lot of minutes this year and maybe even start some. It’s great to see the local players play-
Christian interviewing Trevor Starcher (l) and Tommy Trupo (r). Courtesy photo ing at the division-one college level.” Olivier, a native of Bonsecours, France, is in his fifth season with the Thundering Herd’s soccer team and Head Coach Bob Gray. Gray, the sixth head coach in the program’s 37-year history, is leading the men’s team for the 19th season. Starcher told me he likes playing for Coaches Gray and Olivier, ”It’s awesome, they are great coaches and they know what they are talking about. They are like fathers. They treat us like their own kids, it’s really good.” Trupo agrees with his teammate, “They are two great guys, both have known me since I have
Trevor Starcher in his midfield position during the first game at Marshall’s new soccer complex. Courtesy photo been very young. I can’t ask for two greater guys coaching me. They love their players, we couldn’t ask for better coaches.” Growing up nearby in Putnam County and playing soccer for Marshall University in the next county over makes it like a home town game for the young duo, “It’s an honor, it’s just a blessing in disguise. A lot of people just make it through playing in high school and just to get to play in college with one of my best friends Trevor (Starcher) and to stay close at home and play in front of a lot of
people who want to come out to watch is awesome,” says Trupo. Again the two team mates agree with Starcher telling me, “It’s a blessing to be able to have the opportunity to come here and play at Marshall and play in front of hometown fans, that you went to high school with that now go to Marshall, your friends, they can come out to support you.” To follow the Herd’s soccer teams this season, go to www.herdzone.com. I hope to see you at a Marshall game soon, GO HERD!
Huntington Museum of Art to Welcome Artist Buzz Spector in September The Huntington Museum of Art will welcome Buzz Spector as a Walter Gropius Master Artist in September. Spector will speak about his work at 7 p.m. Sept. 26, 2013. A reception follows. Admission is free. An installation of work by Spector will be on view at HMA from Sept. 7 through Nov. 3, 2013. Spector will present a three-day workshop titled "The Book under (De-)construction" from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sept. 27-29, 2013. Call (304) 529-2701 for workshop fee information or to register. An internationally recognized artist and critical writer, Spector works in a wide range of mediums including sculpture, installation, photography, printmaking, and book arts. His work makes frequent use of the book, both as subject and as object, and concerns the relationships between public history, individual memory and perception. Spector has meticulously torn, cut and painted the pages
of hundreds of books to create cascading images within their bindings; the intent is not to destroy, but to transform books and language. In addition to altering books in the name of art, Spector has produced a few of his own since the mid-1970s.

Legacy of Mary Ingles Event at Beech Fork State Park, September 12-15, 2013 BARBOURSVILLE, WV - The Legacy of Mary Ingles, in its 25th year, is an 18th century living history weekend September 1215 at Beech Fork State Park. Visitors and guests are introduced to the lifestyle of our pioneering ancestors through demonstrations and the portrayal of life in 1755 that Mary Ingles lived and encountered. The weekend is presented by the Mary Ingles Trails Association, a volunteer organization. The four-day event features interpreters and tradesmen and women staged in primitive encampment settings. The interpreters engage in conversation with event attendees throughout the course of the days and with on-going action and work life typical of the 18th century. Presentations are not lecture-style and attendee participation is encouraged. The site is accessible. Re-enactors focus on the importance of trade, animal care, spinning and weaving, music, salt making, edible native plants, and medicinal native plants as early healthcare, finger weaving, blacksmithing, candle making, lye soap making, hunting skills, tomahawk throwing, plant dyes, toys and games, wood working,
hide tanning, Indian pictographs, women’s and men’s roles, and frontier cooking and foods. Demonstrations are based on the availability of individual interpreters. “It’s been 258 years since Mary Ingles made her trek through the Kanawha Valley and New River area, and her remarkable story is woven throughout each day of the primitive encampment as well as our current rural Appalachian culture,” said Beech Fork State Park Supt. Matt Yeager. The Legacy of Mary Ingles is open to the public without charge at Beech Fork State Park near Barboursville and Huntington.

Marshall’s Respiratory Care Program is one of two accredited Bachelor’s Programs in West Virginia HUNTINGTON, WV - With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) on the rise, not only in West Virginia but nationwide, the field of respiratory care is needed more than ever. Chris Trotter, associate professor of respiratory therapy at Marshall University, said respiratory therapists are and will continue to be in high demand due to the many respiratory hazards in this
region. “We live in an area dependent on the special metals and coal industries,” Trotter said. “As great as this is for our economy, it is equally detrimental to the respiratory health of our residents. We understand the urgency of this problem, which is why Marshall University was one of the first to step up and do something about it.”
According to the United Health Foundation, 25 percent of the population over 18 smoke on a regular basis in West Virginia. Smoking is considered the most prominent risk factor for COPD, which has been the fourth-leading cause of death in the U.S. since 1991, and the third-leading cause of death in West Virginia for eight of the nine years from 2000 through 2008, as noted by the

West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. With COPD on the rise, licensed respiratory therapists are wanted to evaluate, educate and treat patients with all types of breathing disorders. Since 2005, the St. Mary’s/Marshall University cooperative school has offered a Bachelor of Science degree in respiratory care. Currently, it is one of two nationally accredited programs in West Virginia, joining Wheeling Jesuit University in Wheeling, WV. Keith Terry, associate professor of respiratory therapy at Marshall, said unlike the traditional four years required for most undergraduate programs, the respiratory therapy program takes just three years to complete. “Our program provides a comprehensive, faced-paced environment which allows for a better understanding of our profession,” Terry said. “Our advanced coursework engages our students, fostering the foundation of knowledge necessary to result in better patient outcomes.” Housed in the St. Mary’s Center
for Education on 29th Street in Huntington, the respiratory care classrooms have state-of-the-art equipment complete with an onsite library and a new high fidelity simulation lab. Dr. Michael W. Prewitt, dean of the Marshall College of Health Professions, said the partnership between the college and St. Mary’s provides a unique opportunity for those interested in pursuing careers in the health professions. “Our graduates are able to seek employment in multiple health care settings,” Prewitt said. “An increasing number of respiratory therapists are now working in skilled nursing centers, physicians’ offices, home health agencies, specialty care hospitals and medical equipment supply companies.” The St. Mary’s/Marshall University cooperative respiratory care program accepts 20 new students each year.

Hunter Ethics on Public Land SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV The fall hunting seasons are about to get underway in West Virginia, and it’s time for hunters to begin scouting both for game and for places to enjoy their sport, either on private or public land. “We often talk about getting landowner permission before hunting on private land and the ethical standards that should be followed, but we need to also emphasize hunter ethics on public land,” according to Mike Peters, wildlife biologist with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR). “West Virginia is very fortunate to have 78 wildlife management areas, eight state forests and three national forests totaling more than 1.5 million acres open to the public for hunting, trapping and fishing. This is more than 10 acres of public land for every resident, licensed hunter. “It sounds like there is plenty of room for everyone, but chances are, if you hunt or trap on public land, you will encounter other outdoor enthusiasts while afield,” Peters said. “How we conduct ourselves during these encounters may not only determine the success and enjoyment of our hunt but also other outdoor enthusiasts using the same public lands.”
Here are some suggestions that may help you on your next public land hunt to be a more ethical public land user. · Make sure you know and understand the regulations for the public land on which you are hunting or trapping. Although many of the regulations among public lands are similar, some may have regulations specific to that area, such as older-aged deer management areas. · Be respectful of other hunters and try not to hunt the same area as someone else. · Have a back-up plan, and try to scout several areas to hunt. This way, if someone else is already using the area you were planning to hunt, you have other alternatives and your day is not ruined. · Some types of hunting, such as dove and waterfowl hunting, can be very social. If another hunter shows up late, invite them to join your group if you have room. Chances are, this will improve both of your hunting experiences because you will not be competing for the same game. · If you come across other hunters, ask them where they plan to hunt and tell them where you plan to hunt. Working together, you can increase your chances of not interfering with
each other’s hunting and keep everybody safe. In some situations, more hunters can be a positive factor. · If you are going to hunt an area where someone else may already be hunting, proceed with caution and courtesy. Just remember -- you would not want someone to interrupt your hunt. · Blinds and tree stands should be placed and removed at appropriate times. Placing a tree stand on public land three weeks prior to the season to reserve “your spot” is not only unfair to other hunters but is also illegal. This also applies to leaving a tree stand up all season. · Dispose of hides and carcasses from harvested game in a lawful manner. It is illegal to dump deer carcasses on public land. · Leave the area in better condition than you found it. Do not leave trash, and if you see trash, pick it up and dispose of it properly. “The old adage, ‘first come, first served,’ applies in many situations while using public land,” Peters said. “Just remember – public land is for everyone. As outdoor enthusiasts, we need to treat others using public land the same as we expect to be treated.”
Next, councilman Carl Harshbarger spoke. "I really appreciate you as a friend," he said. "I love ya and always will...you're a good man." Newly appointed Milton Police Chief Chuck Zerkle addressed the audience. "No one anticipated things were going to go this way with Gary's health," he said. "I've known him for years and he's a great guy. I don't think I can fill his shoes." Zerkle continued, "He'll be remembered here for years to come." Lilly smiled. The humble leader spoke about his men. "This is the finest group of guys I've ever worked with - I've seen a lot of good officers come and go, but they're very loyal to the city," the chief said. "I always tried to be fair and treat people the same
- but what got me was when I lost my wife of 25 years to cancer - all the time she was sick - I never had seen so much love and a city come together - people even did fundraisers to help me." Lilly continued, "That's why I never left this town - sure, it's got its bad elements, but the good overweighs the bad." The audience clapped in approval. The police chief looked toward the residents in attendance. "I hope and pray I did not let the city down - I did the best I could while I was here," said Lilly, holding back emotion. With those words, the council meeting ended. One-by-one, people in attendance hugged their longtime police chief. Moments later, Milton Police Chief Gary Lilly walked past his office, past the black and white cruiser and headed home.
FRIEND FROM PAGE 1 watched their leader take a seat. Mayor Tom Canterbury gave Lilly the police reports to read for the last time. After the chief finished, claps echoed throughout the council chambers. "I appreciate you - you've done a great job," said Canterbury. "Sometimes your head says you can do it, but your body says you can't." Lilly laughed, "I'm finding that out." Officers, one by one, spoke about their chief, their friend. "I appreciate Gary and giving me the opportunity to excel," said Officer Halloran. "You gave me a chance and I appreciate that," said Officer D.T. Bishop. "Gary expected you to do your job and he would always help out if he could," said Officer Kyle O'Dell. "He's one of a kind."

Velma’sView By Velma Kitchens Football Time Again - It's that time of year again, football!!!!!!!!! I like football better than all the other sports because that is what I first started watching when I was around 12 years old. I used to watch Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell, Don Meredith (I was crazy about him) and Frank Gifford. I would stay with Junior and Lola Setliff and their girls Lana and Brenda. Junior would tell me what was going on and I caught on fast. I knew that the ball had to get to the end-zone to score or you kicked the ball through the goal to get points. I still don't know all the different positions but I do know something about football. I watched football back in the 70's and the Pittsburgh Steelers was my favorite team. Terry Bradshaw, Franco Harris, Mean Joe Greene, Rocky Bleier, and of course Jack Lambert. I loved to watch on Sunday afternoons and it was a treat to stay up when the Steelers were on Monday nights. That was icing on the cake. All the players on the team would always wave and say 'hi mom”. I don't think I have seen that in quite awhile. Things have changed a lot since the 70's but football is still football. Then comes October and the baseball playoffs. I was so excited to see the Cincinnati Reds win the world series over Boston and it came down to the very last game. I believe it was rained out for a few days and then the win. They just don't make players like that anymore. I have been to the Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio and should you ever get the chance to go, just go.

ONA - Cabell Midland and Winfield made a statement at the Geico Classic Invitational Saturday Aug. 31. The Knights used the "pack attack" strategy and placed seven boys among the top 31 runners. Senior Eric Wooten placed 10th with a solid time of 17:23 for the 5k course. Hunter Adkins finished 13th. Brandon Atkinson, Nick Salmons, Austin Jarrell, Jeremiah Parlock and Will Sheils rounded out a solid Cabell Midland team finish. Fewer than 50 seconds separated the seven boys. The Knights placed 2nd overall. Thomas Worthington High School won the meet with its top seven runners recording times under 18 minutes. Out of 111 runners, Green Brier East's Levi Snedegar won the race at a time of 16:33. Thomas Worthington High School also won the girls race

with its top seven runners under 22 minutes. Winfield placed second with five runners in top 16. Out of 98 runners, Capital's Peyton Panger won the race with a time of 19:15, more than 58 seconds faster than second place. Out of 291 runners, Josh Minor won the Middle School race of
3,000 meters, recording a time of 11:25. Winfield Middle School won the race. On the girls' side, Winfield placed second. Alex Imperial placed second out of 228 runners with a time of 13:18.
Hendricks and Thomas again made the Generals pay. The burning-fast wide receiver took another sweep around for a 29-yard touchdown while Thomas both caught and ran for a touchdown. The Knights left for the half having hung a 43-0 spot over Winfield. However the Generals were not about to curl up and disappear. Show put Winfield on the board early in the third, hitting a receiver for a 14-yard touchdown. The Knights gave their opponents unnecessary second-half chances in the quarter. Thomas fumbled twice, both times leading to touchdown passes by Show. As if it were consolation for allowing turnover points, Midland’s special teams block two of Winfield’s
three PATs. Thomas answered by breaking off a 23-yard touchdown run late in the quarter. In the fourth, Midland’s turnover’s were at least followed by Winfield’s own dispossession. Pettit was picked off early in the fourth only to quickly come back on offense following a Winfield fumble. Pettit made up for it by tossing a 7-yard pass to Thomas in the middle of the fourth. The starters were relieved from the game and Midland coasted to a 63-19 victory. The Knights (2-0) will play their first home game against the Parkersburg Big Reds on Friday at Knights Field in Ona. Kickoff is at 7:30.

Fun with trout-stream Smallmouth
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
I was fishing recently at Knapps Creek in Pocahontas County with a fly rod and some weighted dry flies and weighted streamers. After I gave up on dry flies and switched to streamers, I was using something I call the “snake retrieve.” That's where the rod hand trembles in such a way that the tip of the rod vibrates back and forth so that the line from the tip of the rod to the water goes back and forth in a series of “S” curves. For some time, I had been catching small fish, a small trout or two, plus three or four rock bass and two bluegill, one of which was a big one and a bit of a fighter. The water was thigh-deep and
I had been fishing about a foot below the surface when I saw a very large blue heron flying directly downstream toward me. From that angle, it looked and sounded (a low-pitched, drawn out “whoosh, whoosh” as the large wings propelled it forward) a lot like I would image a pterosaur might have looked and sounded like epochs ago. While the bird was still afar, I lowered my rod and stood perfectly still while wondering how close the large bird might come to me if I did so. About 30 yards off, he climbed up to about 50 feet high as he flew over my head. I raised the rod and drew in some line to prepare for the next cast, but the line tightened so much I thought I was snagged. That is, until the snag moved. On the other end of that line was a smallmouth bass. So, I changed my fishing strategy and let the streamers tumble around on the rocks. The water was clear and I was able to see very clearly some of the strikes that were close to me. With one, the streamer was bouncing along the top of a large, flat rock. The bass came from the shadowy cavity beneath the rock and struck. That bass emerged to strike before he ever saw that streamer. What drew him from his hole was the sound of the metal weight of the streamer going “tink, tink” against the rock. To the fish, that
This smallmouth put up a strong fight after taking a fly on Knapps Creek in Pocahontas County. Photo by David Payne tapping sound was the noise a crayfish makes as it moves along a rock. For the rest of the evening, I concentrated on imitating crayfish this way. It wasn't long before the rod bent over with the largest fish I have yet pulled out of that creek. It took me some time to land that smallmouth and in the meantime he darted back and forth around and under rocks, leaped out of the water several
times, including a full-body leap – a far better fight than I've had from any trout on that stream. I've been ignoring the trout lately and concentrating on developing a good crayfish fly for smallmouth. I've made some realistic-looking imitations with hackle feathers cut to look like claws and hackle tied around the body in hopes that it will look like a crayfish mid-molt. The metal hourglass-shaped weights I've
been using for eyes are a bit oversized for the hooks, but I'm hoping that will magnify the tapping sound on the rocks. I did come across some interesting findings from a research team at Pure Fishing Inc. (used to be called Berkley Fly Company) in Iowa. They used a robotic arm (with strike counter) to present various crayfish imitations to a group of 450 largemouth bass and recorded the number of strikes for each lure. They started out with something that looked like a crayfish with all its claws and legs intact, then used one with a missing claw, then moved to one with no claws and finally one with no claws or legs. They found with each missing appendage, the number of strikes increased. The most successful crayfish bait had no claws or legs and looked more like a shrimp. They wanted to market a crayfish bait with no appendages, but the idea was nixed by corporate because they didn't think anyone would buy it. The corporate big whigs were probably correct, but those findings are certainly food for thought for anybody working on a crayfish imitation of their own. Incidentally, John Tertuliani's crayfish fly – discussed in this column earlier this year – is a wooly bugger with the eye at the rear of the hook and is legless and clawless.
Outdoors Roundup West Virginia small-game hunting began with the one-day youth squirrel season on Sept. 7, followed by the opening day of squirrel season on Sept. 14. Rough grouse season opens Oct. 12 and runs to the end of February. Raccoon season opens 6 p.m. on Oct. 12 and also runs through the end of February. The bag limit is four raccoons. The next smallgame season to open will be rabbit season on Nov. 2. Rabbit populations are expected to be high this year thanks to an unusually wet summer that increased food and cover. I've certainly seen more rabbits out this year than I have in a long time. Snowshoe hare, bobwhite quail, ring-necked pheasant, bobcat, red fox, and gray fox hunting seasons also open November 2. Night hunting with lights for foxes will open January 1 and continue until February. Trapping season for fur-bearing animals begins Nov. 2.
Archery seasons for deer and bear open Sept. 28. The beararchery season runs until Nov. 23 and then resumes on Dec. 9 and closes Dec. 31. Deer archery season also closes on Dec. 31. The daily bag limit for deer has increased, allowing a hunter to take up to two deer in one day, although only one can be a buck. The first deer does not have to be checked in before the second archery deer can be taken. If you have a spare eyeglass case laying around, they make great cases for fishing flies. If you wear glasses, as I do, you probably have some of these around the house and most yard sales have a case or two. These cases are designed specifically to fit comfortably in a pocket and rigid enough to keep eyeglasses from being crushed, all while being easy to open and snap shut with one hand. All these properties make them excellent fly boxes that hold up well over time. Most of these cases are made of
I carry my fishing flies in modified eyeglasses case. Shown is a case for bass flies (foreground) and another for trout flies. Photo by David Payne steel and have a rigid plastic lining inside to cushion your eyeglasses from the metal shell. You can leave the lining there if you want. You can also rip it out (it doesn't necessarily come out easily). I have one that I have used on
streams for about eight years or so and I finally removed that plastic lining this year because it was curling up around the edges. You can carry dozens of flies in this case if you make a liner for it so the flies will be held securely.
You'll need a sheet of thin foam (I bought mine at West Virginia Hobbies and Crafts in Teays Valley). Open the case and place the foam on top and apply pressure at the edges, so the lip of the case edge makes an indentation in the foam. Cut the foam out and glue it to the inside of the case. Repeat the other side, so you will have a liner for the inside top and bottom. Gently snag the hook of the flies into the foam. I've carried most of my flies in such a case for years. I store and carry my favorite rod (a three piece) in a metal tube specifically made for that purpose, but it is easy to make your own. All you need is a piece of plastic PVC pipe and two plugs. Glue one plug securely on the bottom and apply, but don't glue the other one to make your removable cap. You might want to drill a few small holes for vents. You can decorate any way you want. It's a cheap and easy way to protect your gear.

WILLIAM CAMMACK CAMPBELL William Cammack Campbell died at his home in Lewisburg, W.Va., on August 30, 2013, at the age of 90. One of America's most renowned amateur golfers, Campbell was deeply devoted to Huntington and to W.Va., where he resided for nearly all of his life. Respected for his honesty, intelligence, athletic achievements
The Cabell Standard and integrity; Campbell was above all a gentleman who served and cared for the world and those around him. Born in Huntington, W.Va., in 1923, Campbell, the son of Ruth and Rolla D. Campbell, was introduced to golf by this father at the age of three. Campbell won the U.S. Amateurship Championship in 1964, the U.S. Senior Amateur Championship in 1979 and 1980 and the North and South Amateur Championship four times. He played in eight Walker Cup matches, undefeated in singles matches and was the playing captain in 1956. He competed in 18 Masters Tournaments and 15 U.S. Open Championships, an extraordinary record for an amateur golfer. Campbell was also the only American to head both the U.S. Golf Association and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, the two governing bodies of worldwide golf. Like his good friend and early mentor, professional golfer, Sam Snead, Campbell frequently played the courses at the Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., where for many years he had a second home. Campbell graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy and Princeton University. After serving in combat with the U.S. Army in Europe during World War II, he succeeded his maternal grandfather, C.W. Cammack, as the agent for John Hancock Insurance in Huntington, and headed the agency for 60 years. Campbell served in the W.Va. legislature from 1948 to 1951. He also served on the boards of several corporations, notably First Huntington National Bank and C&P Telephone of W.Va., and headed many commissions and nonprofit organizations or chaired or served on their boards. These include The Greater Huntington Chamber of Commerce, the Huntington YMCA, the Advisory Board of Marshall University, the Marshall University Foundation, the Huntington Museum of Art, the Cammack Children's Center, the Cabell County American Red Cross, the Central Ohio Valley Industrial Council, the Ohio Valley Improvement Association, the West Virginia Legislative Compensation Committee, and the West Virginia Industrial & Publicity Commission. Campbell is survived by his wife of 59 years, Joan; by four stepchildren, Diana Dourif Cole of Summit, N.J., Patricia Dourif Amenta of Lewisburg, W.Va, Bradford Dourif of Calif. and Christiane Dourif Friedman of Charlottesville, Va.; two children, Victoria Campbell Collins of Glyndon, Md., and Colin Cammack Campbell of Denver Colo.; 15 grandchildren; and six greatgrandchildren. Services were held September 10, at The Old Stone Presbyterian Church, Lewisburg, W.Va. with

Let's get ready to Rumble! By Justin Waybright justin@thecabellstandard.com
MILTON - "Are you ready to rumble?" These words rang true as more than 100 gathered during the Unleashed Wrestling Alliance event at the Milton Fire Department Saturday afternoon. Robert Trippett and the Starlight Band warmed up the crowd with some classic country hits and originals. Next, a man in a red, white and blue uniform stepped inside the ring and welcomed the hometown crowd for the main event. Boys and girls of all ages cheered him on as his opponent came running to the ring. Seconds later, the bell rang and the two wrestlers started their rumble. The challenger climbed to the top of the ring and soared more than 10 feet over the crowd. Boom! He crashed to the ring floor. The man in red, white and blue grabbed him and body-slammed him. The challenger fought back with questionable moves and overpowered the man.

Get on the floor - Robert Trippett and the Starlight Band perform during the Saturday event. The local country band performs every Friday at the Milton Fire Department. By Justin Waybright
As all hope seemed lost for the man in red, white and blue, somehow he came back with a vengeance and pinned the challenger. "One...two...three...you’re done!" The referee yelled. The crowd, including parents went wild. More than a wrestling match and music, the day was about garnering support for the fire department to upgrade gear for its 53-member team. "Our gear is only good for 10
dance and concessions. "The wrestling and music are pretty big hits," said Chastain. "Events like this show the community that we're not just putting out fires, but we're giving back with entertainment and fun." Milton firefighters respond to more than 600 calls per year, according to call logs. Uniforms and air packs become worn quickly, said Chastain. He hopes the department can raise enough funds to cover the high cost of replacing the life-sav-
years and we're coming up on that mark in March," said Deputy Chief Tim Chastain. "Our air packs have less than one year on them too." Chastain continued, "Fuel costs and the economy make it hard, so fundraisers are the only way to go." For months, the Milton Fire Department has welcomed Robert Trippett and the Starlight Band to help in the cause. Crowds come to enjoy a family friendly atmosphere with music,
ing equipment his staff needs. Robert Trippett and the Starlight Band perform every Friday at 7 p.m. The cost is $6. UWA comes to the city every third Saturday at the fire department. The next show is 7:30 p.m. Saturday Sept. 21. It is $7 for adults and free for children under the age of five.
