2012 Putnam County Fair now underway! ELEANOR – Saturday, July 14th, was THE day to be in Eleanor as gates officially opened for the 2012 Putnam County Fair! It didn't matter what kind of weather was in store for Saturday, folks made their way to Eleanor to enjoy the kick-off day of the 2012 Putnam County Fair. People filed through the gates and made their way throughout the fairgrounds, stopping at various events along the way. Saturday’s line up consisted of Little Miss Contests, a Chainsaw Carver, Truck & Tractor Pulls, a "Kid's Kid" Show, 4-H Shows (and Showmanship) as well as the Coronation of the 2012 Miss Putnam County Fair Queen. And, if that wasn’t enough excitement for one day, fair-
goers got to enjoy the music of country music sensation Bucky Covington! Old friends, and new friends, made their way from one side of the fairgrounds to the other - enjoying the sights,
sounds, smells and tastes of a county fair. From agricultural, art, photo, needlework, and flower judging to livestock, quilts, and crafts – you could pretty much find something to

please the eye! And, for the taste buds – well, there’s always a variety of foods to enjoy. Isn’t that just one of the many reasons to go to a County Fair? Corn-dogs, Lemonade, and Funnel Cakes! Sunday ("DAY AT THE FAIR”) was filled with Pretty Baby Contests, the 4-H Pet Show, Rabbit Judging, Gospel singing, and Karaoke with Sandy Sowell. Monday brought about the Kids Pedal Power Tractor Pulls, the 64 West Band, Fun-Time Karaoke with Richard Clark, the 4-H Market Hog Show, and the beatin’ and bangin’ Demolition Derby.

In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes; they should not touch each other.

How do you read a poem? Such a simple and complicated question, the answer depends on who you are and why you are reading the poem to start with. I read poetry because I enjoy seeing how another writer puts her thoughts into verse. Poetry can be inspiring, uplifting or thought provoking. If you stop and think about how the writer put her words into each line, where the line breaks, or the use of imagery in the poem you may be able to see what was in the writers mind. However, even if you don’t understand everything the writer was saying if you enjoyed reading the poem it was a positive experience. Own the poem when you read it, make it yours and let it speak to you, I think if you do that you will find poetry is not that hard to read. You might not like every poem that you read, but if you can keep an open mind I am certain that you will find something in each poem that will speak to your heart. So just, keep reading. On another note, the poems that are published in this column are as the writer sends them to us. If you are submitting a poem, line length is a good thing to keep in mind. This is a newspaper; if your lines are too long we will have to make breaks that conform to the column width. If you are uncomfortable with that you can adjust your line length before you send us your poem. Until next time keep reading, writing and sending in your poem, we love hearing from you. You can send your poems to the above address or email them to: cabellputnamstandardpoetry@hotmail.com. *****

American Legion Post gives History of the Flag TEAYS VALLEY – The Putnam Rotary Club received a special lesson at its July 10 meeting in the history of the American flag from a special color guard from the American Legion's James E. Marshall Post 187 of Winfield and narrator Command Chief Master Sergeant Dan Chandler. "The flag has always been a symbol of loyalty and pride," Chandler said. "When we see the flag, we see the nation itself." As Chandler reviewed the story of the flag, the Winfield veterans displayed some of the flags flying over American soil since colonial days. Arnie Harrison posted the Queen Anne flag, the British red ensign which served from 1707 to the time of the American Revolution. The blue union in the upper left corner displayed the crosses of the British Union Jack, the cross of St. George for England and St. Andrew's cross for Scotland. In the early days of the American Revolution, the red field of the Queen Anne flag was divided into seven red and six white stripes representing the 13 American colonies. This was the Grand Union flag brought forward by Bob Allen. The Grand Union flew over Washington's headquarters
The James E. Marshall WV Post 187 of the American Legion recently gave a presentation on the history of the flags of the nation. From left to right are Kenny Bright (holding the present flag of the United States), Clem Pemberton (holding the West Virginia flag of 35 stars), Curtis Grant (holding the Star-Spangled Banner of 1814), Danny Johnson (holding the Betsy Ross flag), Bob Allen (holding the Grand Union flag), Arnie Harrison (holding the Queen Anne flag), and Dan Chandler. near Boston. Danny Johnson carried the Betsy Ross flag which replaced the British Union Jack with a circle of 13 stars -- "a new constellation" -on a field of blue. "This was the first official flag," Chandler said. "It was adopted by the Continental Congress on June 14, 1777, which date has since been celebrated as American Flag Day." Curtis Grant posted the Star Spangled Banner, the flag which flew over Baltimore's Ft. McHenry in 1814. This was the flag which inspired Francis Scott Key to write
the words of the national anthem. "The Ft. McHenry flag has 15 stars and 15 stripes," Chandler told the group, for the new states of Vermont and Kentucky. "On April 4, 1818, Congress restored the original 13 stripes," when five more states joined the Union. Post Commander Clem Pemberton displayed theWestVirginia flag of 35 stars. This flag was replaced by a flag of 36 stars in 1865 when Nevada became a state. Members of the Putnam Rotary Club stood to attention as Kenny Bright posted the present "Old Glory" flag of 50 stars.
Clem Pemberton presents the "West Virginia flag," with its 35 stars. The flag is more than a design, said Chandler in a closing tribute. "Old Glory represents "a refuge for the world's oppressed peoples, the silent sentinel of freedom." The Winfield chapter of the American Legion, the James E. Marshall Post 187, continues to celebrate national traditions and to remind the citizens of Putnam County of the price paid for the American way of life. Post 187 provides an honor guard for funerals of veterans in the area, and its flag history program is offered for schools, churches and civic groups.

Velma’s View By Velma Kitchens
VELMA’S VIEW: My Hero My bed is empty now, without his touch beside me His warm body on a cool evening has eluded me His arms around me holding me securely and making me feel safe The morning coffee already made before my feet hit the floor. He’s gone now, never to return to me on this Earth. I miss his body entwined in mine The touch of his hand on my face The loving smiles and the secrets behind each one. My children have no dad now, and they wonder where he went My arms are filled with the children, his children, the part that will live on In time they will learn how he died, but more importantly how he lived He lived every day for his family and country He was serving his country when death came upon him. All of us in the United States of America should be honored that we live here A free country because brave men and women went to battle for us We should never forget their sacrifice, a willing sacrifice, a volunteer May our country be blessed with other young men who will take up their banner May we find those young men and encourage them to do the same, for us all.

Buffalo High Secretary named State School's Employee of the Year SUBMITTED ARTICLE BUFFALO – Debra Martin, a school secretary in Putnam County, has been named the 2012 West Virginia Board of Education School Service Personnel Employee of the Year. Martin is the only full-time secretary at Buffalo High School and serves as the receptionist, financial secretary and administrative assistant. In her nomination, Principal Richard Grim described Martin as an exemplary employee who is exceptionally well organized and enthusiastic. “Mrs. Martin has the respect of the staff and students and works to continually improve the culture of the school,” Grim said. Martin continues her education by participating in technology training pro-
grams provided in the county and completing courses at the Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College. Her colleagues say she is a tireless volunteer for school activities, heads numerous community service projects, and serves as the youth director at Cross Creek Community Church. The West Virginia Board of Education established the annual awards program to recognize outstanding school service personnel employees. Each year the program honors one person, chosen from aides, bus drivers, cooks, custodians, maintenance workers, office workers and other school service personnel, for his or her contribution to the school and community. “School service personnel are an important part of any school family,” said state
Board of Education President Wade Linger. “We are proud to honor them for their many contributions that help our students in many ways every day.” The recognition program is designed to work similarly to the state’s Teacher of the Year program, which honors classroom teachers who inspire students of all backgrounds and abilities to learn, have the respect and admiration of students, parents and colleagues and play an active and useful role in the community as well as in the school. Martin was chosen to receive the award from county school service personnel employees of the year. Richard Bussard, Jr., chief mechanic in the Jefferson County Schools Transportation Department, was selected as the runner-up.

Getting a frog's eye view of a fish's world
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
If you want to get what the Germans call “a frog's eye” view” of the unseen aquatic world, there are a lot of options available today. Fish sonar has been around for a long time, but in recent years anglers have been able to rig
small underwater cameras with their lures. One friend of mine had a fishing float that had depth-finding sonar. We live and fish in a very advanced world and I think if we rely on that stuff too much, we lose the ability to read water. Water reading has been an art as long as people have been fishing – and folks have been fishing with hooks since the caveman days. Izaak Walton, whoever it was who wrote the 15th Century fishing book Dame Juliana Berners gets credit for, and Thomas Barker had none of that stuff and they all caught plenty of fish. Reading any of this stuff – and the Berners book is 500 years old now – will help people catch fish. In some ways, even before we were using sonar to find German and Japanese ships in World War II, we had become less in tune with the water than our ancestors were and that's thanks to a piece of technology we take for granted
as having been around forever – the fishing reel (more on that next week). Walton wrote in the 1600s about water being a great mystery that one unraveled by piecing together its many clues – things the non-angler would hardly notice. Walton writes of clues in the current, the sky, the seasons, the air, the insect activity and you sort all of this information to answer the following: “where are the fish and what do they want to eat?” Once you formed your hypothesis, you tested it by fishing. If unsuccessful, you come up with another hypothesis and test that. Your best fishermen still do that. Some are quite good at it. I was covering the West Virginia Bass Festival for a newspaper a few years ago and met Roland Martin, who had been brought in to say stuff like “woo, son! That's some smallmouth!” at the weighins. The river was high that year during the festival and anglers
were having little luck. So, I asked Roland what advice he would have for anglers and how he would fish it for competing. He glanced over his left shoulder and looked at the river for about four seconds. Then, he glanced over his right shoulder for a couple of seconds. In his day, he was one of the best tournament anglers of all time. I got to see that fishing genius in action. Without ever breaking eye contact with me, he described structure he saw up and down the river. His eyes brightened as his fishing strategy developed. He told me where he would make his casts, places he believed hidden logs might be lodged. His weapon-of-choice, of course, was a jig, which I think he would fish in his native – as he calls “Flawida” - in anything from the bottom of the Everglades to a muddy hoofprint.
DNR accepting applications for Blennerhassett Island Hunt By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
Hunters will have a chance this fall to hunt on historic Blennerhassett Island Historical State Park. The controlled deer hunt is slated for Monday, Nov. 5 and Thursday, Nov. 8. The historic island is typically closed to hunting. The Division of Natural Resources manages the island's deer herd and holds special hunts there when the island's deer population becomes too dense. The first such hunt was held in 2001. Other hunts have been held in 2002, 2007 and 2010. The DNR does herd counts periodically on the island. “Based upon survey results, a controlled hunt is needed to maintain the deer population at a level which is more in balance with the habitat conditions on the island,” said WVDNR Director Frank Jezioro. Deer on the island are not normally hunted and the deer population level gets much higher than on the mainland – even if deer do occasionally swim back and forth across the river. Hunting is not permitted on state parks unless under a controlled hunt setting. The excess of deer have caused some problems on the island. When concentrations are high,

Like Walton says, the two questions you have to solve for a successful day of fishing is “where are the fish and what are they eating?” Understanding the current is the key to understanding fish. Debris floating by on the surface paints a picture of where forage is drifting underneath. Understanding the current is key as fish feed where they can eat the most food while expending the least amount of energy. In deep water, that is a place where slow and fast currents meet. In shallower water, the same principle applies only it is easier to see. Behind a submerged rock is the most obvious. They also might be near some sort of structure where forage fish are hiding despite the current. Just keep your eyes – and mind – open. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
Fishing Report BEECH FORK: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. Call the Beech Fork Corps of Engineers office at (304) 525-4831 for more information. Bass fishing should be hot right now with many hungry bass coming out of the yearly spawning period. Channel catfish may be slower right now as these fish may be guarding nests. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can be caught using white lures. EAST LYNN: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. For more information, call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at (304) 849-9861. Bass will be holding near logs, stumps and fish attracting brush piles. Musky will be found near bush piles and fallen trees. Channel catfish and flatheads may be guarding nests so fishing may be a little slower. Try crappie fishing around standing timber or trees that have fallen into the water. A few walleye have been caught in the lake and tailwater. STEPHENS LAKE: Lake is very clear. To improve the odds of catching fish, use light line, cast far, and reduce noise, fish quietly and carefully. Bass anglers are successful using soft plastics and small crankbaits. Catfish have been recently caught using chicken livers, worms and prepared dip baits. Bass are being caught using wacky rigged worms in various colors at various depths. Also along the Ohio River this year, fishing for black bass (largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass) has been excellent. Bass Anglers are using spinner-baits, rubber worms, jig-and-pig type combos and shad colored crank baits. Largemouth bass are being caught along embayments, and the smallmouth and spots are being taken from the river.
