Farmers’ Market to present its version of ‘Chopped’ HURRICANE -- The Putnam Farmers' Market is proud to present their own version of "CHOPPED" at Hurricane City Park on Tuesday, July 24, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Chopped is a cooking competition show on the Food Network that's all about skill, speed and ingenuity where four

up and coming chefs compete before a panel of three expert judges and take everyday items and turn them into an extraordinary three-course meal.

Course by course, the chefs will be "chopped" from the competition until only one winner remains.

The Challenge? They have

seconds to plan and 30 minutes to cook an amazing course with the basket of mystery ingredients given to them moments before the clock starts ticking.

And the pressure doesn't stop there. Once they've completed their dish, they've got to survive the chopping block where our three judges are

waiting to be wowed and not shy about voicing their culinary criticisms.

Local contestants will participate at the Putnam Farmers’ Market using mystery ingredients and anything else the contestant wants to use. They will SEE CHOPPED ON PAGE 4

Red Cross offers advice on food safety following June 29 storm SUBMITTED ARTICLE CHARLESTON — Many folks have returned to their homes for the first time since the storm originally hit on June 29 and the American Red Cross would like to share some tips on food safety and the safe disposal of spoiled food.

• Throw away any food that has been exposed to temperatures 40° F (4° C) for 2 hours or more or that has an unusual odor, color or texture. When in doubt, throw it out.

• Never taste food or rely on appearance or odor to determine its safety. Some foods may look and smell fine, but if they have been at room temperature too long, bacteria causing foodborne illnesses can start growing quickly. Some types of bacteria produce toxins that cannot be

destroyed by cooking.

• If you are not sure food is cold enough, take its temperature with the food thermometer.

Throw out any foods (meat, poultry, fish, eggs and leftovers) that have been exposed to temperatures higher than 40° F (4° C) for 2 hours or more, and any food that has an unusual odor, color or texture, or feels warm to touch.

• If food in the freezer is colder than 40° F and has ice crystals on it, you can refreeze it.

Spoiled foods may contain dangerous microorganisms.

Contact with these foods may lead to cross-contamination of consumable foods and food contact surfaces leading to food borne illness. Food waste and decaying food may also attract disease carrying vermin and ro-

dents. After a disaster or weather emergency occurs, take the following steps to safely dispose of food waste: • Place spoiled food or food that has the potential to decay into plastic bags • Store in designated areas for pick-up or transport to designated disposal areas • Check with your local waste hauler or community emergency officials for guidelines specific to your community for disposal of disaster-related waste Orderly clean-up after a disaster is important to prevent impact of waste on human health and the environment. Do NOT mix different types of waste or pile different types together for collection. Waste that rots or decays quickly should be kept apart from other waste or disaster de-

bris, placed in heavy-duty plastic bags or containers, and disposed of quickly.

This includes: Fruits and vegetables.

Meats.

Dairy products.

Small animal carcasses.

Diapers.

Sanitary products.

Medicines that have been contaminated or spoiled.

As food waste spoils or decays, it can be a health hazard and can attract rodents and other vermin.

Take the following steps to clean refrigerators and freezers: • Remove everything from the refrigerator or freezer.

• Use paper towels or rags to wipe up spills and leaks and dispose of them with the food waste.

• Wash out the refrigerator or freezer with a strong bleach solution. Use 1½ cups of bleach in 1 gallon of water. Use latex or rubber gloves if you have sensitive skin that may be irritated by the bleach solution.

• Wash out the appliance with warm, soapy water.

• To remove odors, wipe out the appliance with a mixture of water and baking soda, or keep a box of baking soda in the appliance.

You also may want to air out the appliance for a few days before plugging it in and using it again. Secure doors in an open position to provide air flow and keep children away.

4-H Annual Livestock Auction The Annual 4-H Livestock Auction will be held at the Show/Sale Arena on Friday, July 20th at 7 p.m.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE PUTNAM COUNTY 4H YOUTH! Buying livestock at the fair is very simple. If you are interested in participating in the auction, but are unable to bid, just tell one of the Fair Officials how much you would like to spend and they will bid for you.

The following are some frequently asked questions: Q - Do you bid by the pound?

A - Yes Q - What do I do with the animal after I purchase it?

A - 1) Have it butchered and wrapped for gifts; 2) Have it

butchered for a company picnic; 3) Have it butchered and wrapped for your own family; 4) Resale it at the livestock market. The difference between what you pay and the market price is tax deductible for both businesses and individuals who itemize as a donation.

Q - How would I get it to the market or to be butchered and wrapped?

A - The Putnam County Fair will provide transportation for these options within a 50-mile radius at no charge.

Q - What is butchered weight after butchering?

A - Listed below are the average butchered weights: Hogs: 80% or 160+ lbs. on 200 lbs.

Steers: 60% or 600+ lbs. on 1000 lbs.

Lambs: 50% or 50+ lbs. on 100 lbs.

Q - What does the 4-H participant do with the money they receive from the sale of the animal?

A - Some of the money will go to repay the original cost of the animal plus the cost of raising it. Profit is used for "seed" money for next year's project, or it can be used for college expenses, etc.

Q - Can two individuals bid together for one animal?

A - Absolutely! Splitting the cost is an excellent idea. Bring your friend to split costs, or team up with someone at the Fair.

4-H Pride in Your Project Awards 4-H "Pride In Your Livestock Project Award" Presentations will be held at the Show/Sale Arena prior to the 4-H Livestock Auction on Friday, July 20th at 6:30 p.m.

It is an honor and a privilege to be able to exhibit your 4-H Livestock project at the Putnam County Fair. This award will be given to the youth exhibitor who takes his/her project seriously from the

beginning by completing reports and submitting them on time, as well as displaying himself/herself, his/her exhibit, and his/her stall area with pride during the entire week of the fair.

Exhibitors are encouraged to take pride in their projects and in themselves and to display a

positive image of the 4-H livestock program in Putnam County and the State of West Virginia.

The winners will be announced during the 4-H Livestock Auction on Friday night.

The winner in each livestock division (including rabbits) will receive a trophy.

Multi-talented Hunter Hayes will take the stage during 2012 Putnam County Fair Among the many extraordinary things about Hunter Hayes, the multi-talented musician, writer, producer and performer, perhaps what is most astonishing is that in truth, he’s just getting started. And it is that fact which holds the promise of Hunter Hayes becoming one of the most significant musical talents to emerge, not just from Nashville, but from anywhere, in a long, long time.

Already, he has accomplishments beyond most musicians wildest dreams: Singing “Jambalaya” with Hank Williams Jr. in front of 200,000 people (15 million YouTube views) at the age of four; appearing with Robert Duvall (who gave Hunter his first guitar) in “The Apostle” at the age of six; playing with Johnny and June Cash, and Charlie Daniels at a BBQ; performing for President Clinton and many more. You might say that he’s lived a

charmed life. But those experiences are simply the natural result of Hunter’s prodigal talent, one that’s been there from the beginning as though a gift from God, and one that he’s always conscious to be in service to.

Taking up guitar at the age of 6, Hunter’s ability to pick up instruments (including bass guitar, drums, keyboards, and more) became evident.

Songwriting, too, has been a constant undertaking of Hunter’s.

“I wrote my first song at 6,” he recalls, “I spent every day with the guitar and I just made up songs.”

Hunter’s songwriting has been informed by an eclectic grouping of influences. “When I was really young, Garth Brooks was enormous, and I was a huge fan. I always loved LeAnn Rimes and especially Clint Black for his soulfulness. As I’ve gotten older, my influences have broadened – John

Hunter Hayes Mayer, Michael Buble, Stevie Wonder, Keith Urban, Stevie Ray Vaughn, the Beatles – all of these artists have somehow been a part of my development as a songwriter.”

Like playing and songwriting,

performing has become almost second nature to Hunter who, in just his short life, has shared the stage with the likes of Taylor Swift, Hank Williams, Jr., Brad Paisley, Trace Adkins, Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum.

Now Hunter, in the producer’s chair with Dann Huff (Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Trace Adkins) releases his self-titled Atlantic Records debut album.

The expectations may be high, but no one has set higher expectations and ambitions for his music than Hunter himself.

“Music is a spirit. It heals. It’s an amazing thing to be loved and appreciated, and sometimes, music has not just been my best friend, it’s been my only friend.”

In 2011, Hunter released his debut album, toured with superstar Taylor Swift, kicked-off his first ever headlining tour, made his national network television

debut on CBS’ Late Show with David Letterman and made his Grand Ole Opry debut.

Hunter says, “I’ve been lucky as a kid. I’ve met some of the greats, and whether it’s Johnny and June (Cash), Charlie Daniels or Brad Paisley, you could sense they were in it for the love of the music. That was the thing I took away from every single one of those people.”

“I don’t know if I’m worthy of being considered of ‘carrying the torch,’ but I would love to be told that by somebody someday. A lot of the decisions I make are from answering the question ‘are we doing it for the right reasons?’ I want people to say about me, ‘I know he’s making music because he loves it.’”

Make plans to come to the Putnam County Fair on Saturday, July 21st and see for yourself the talented Hunter Hayes!

Bucky Covington sings Saturday, July 14th Bucky Covington is a man known and loved as much for

his engaging personality as for his formidable talent. That

talent has shone through on three hit singles that helped push his debut album toward gold status; his undeniable likeability and his ability to wear his stardom as comfortably as his jeans has done the rest.

Both come together on stage, where the long-haired North Carolinian with the rocker's charisma and the country boy charm thrills old and new fans alike as he performs across the country.

The full range of Bucky’s

personality finds expression in his newest record. The project reflects his wealth of musical influences, as he brings blue-eyed soul to "Hold A Woman" and Lionel Ritchie's Commodores classic "Sail On," a Southern rocker's energy to "I Always Said You'd Be Back," a South-of-the-border feel to "Mexicoma," pure riffrocking power to "Evel Knievel" and a connoisseur's sincerity to "Giants," a song that spells out the genre's debt of gratitude to groundbreaking artists like Dolly Parton, Hank Williams, Tammy Wynette and Johnny Cash.

As one of country music’s most recognizable stars, Bucky continues to maintain that Everyman approachability. "My fans are the greatest," he says, "and I'm happy when they ask for a picture or autograph. I figure I owe them that much."

Many of those fans have watched him from his first days on American Idol, and have seen him mature as an artist.

As he comes into his own both musically and personally, Bucky Covington is more than fulfilling the promise he brought to the table initially, and he continues to establish himself as one of the most exciting and important young performers on the contemporary country scene.

Putnam County Fair

Dove-nominated group 33 Miles to share their message at 2012 Fair We were born as strangers in a strange land. Our lives are but a vapor in the grand scheme of millenniums. But there‘s far more to life for us, as Christians.

We‘re citizens of high heaven!

(Philippians 3:20, The Message).

The trouble is, we don‘t often live like we know it!

For Chris Lockwood and Jason Barton of 33Miles, it‘s that pursuit of a Christ-focused, heaven-minded life that fuels ever ything they do, especially their music.

Intensifying the message of

their previous release, One Life, 33Miles shifts musical gears with Today, amplifying the truth that to make ever y day count, we‘ve got to live with eternity in mind.

A lot of people live for the future, and a lot of people live in the past, but very few people tend to look at their lives and think about what life can be like right now.

That message had been immanent for the Dovenominated group over the past few months, as one of their original members,

‘Offering’ sings for the Glory of God Offering was formed in 2003 by Pastor David Johns ( Winfield Baptist Church) and Dale Harper ( Vocals, lead guitar). Pastor David's idea was to transition the church's music from the traditional piano and organ into a more culturally relevant style of worship. Thus, Offering was born.

The name Offering is a symbol of what makes the group so unique. Everyone in Offering is in it for the glory of God. To each of the members, every performance, every song, and every practice is an offering, given to the uplifting and building of God's kingdom. The name Offering was an appropriate term for a band committed to honoring our Father with all their hearts, souls, minds, and strength.

Beginning in 2003 with only Dale and an acoustic guitar, Offering is now 10 members strong. Most of the members were all established players in the area and have enjoyed making music for years, in and out of church. Their experience as diverse musicians generated an obsession with rhythmic integrity and the sustaining pulse that is the essence of fun, uplifting music.

Rex was a laborer with AC&S Incorporated, Nitro, and a member of Fraziers Bottom Church of God. The Pliny and Fraziers Bottom community lost a wonderful handyman and mechanic who was always at his happiest helping friends and neighbors during

their time of need.

Rex will be fondly remembered and missed by many. He was always there to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed him. He was always just a phone call away.

No matter how big or small the need, Rex would be right there to help. There was nothing that he wouldn't do to help others. He was not a man of many words, but he had a huge heart! He was an avid outdoorsman and he loved big Chevy trucks.

He is survived by his wife, Lisa Lynn Carroll Wilcoxen; sons, Derrex Michael Wilcoxen and Dustin Ray Wilcoxen, both of Fraziers Bottom; and siblings, Lesley Wilcoxen and Rick Wilcoxen of Fraziers Bottom, Lonnie Wilcoxen of Hurricane, Gary Wilcoxen of Apple Grove, Alice Akers of Pliny, Velma Wroten of Point Pleasant and Brenda Foster of Fraziers Bottom.

Funeral services were held Friday, July 6, at Fraziers Bottom Church of God, Fraziers Bottom, with Pastor Lester Errett Jr. and Pastor Gary Hale officiating. Burial followed in Evergreen Cemetery, Fraziers Bottom.

Special thanks to all those who prayed, supported and helped us through this difficult time.
