DISTRICT GOVERNOR PAYS PUTNAM ROTARY A VISIT. PAGE 5

Teays Valley area named one of best places to live

By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

TEAYS VALLEY – The Teays Valley area of Putnam County has been ranked as one of the top five best places to live in West Virginia for 'Social Seekers'

by Coldwell Banker Real Estate.

In the rankings, Coldwell Banker defines areas for 'Social Seekers' as places which are perfect for the hip, trendy and fun at heart -- those who would rather go out than stay home any night of the week.

Teays Valley was ranked as the fifth best place to live in West Virginia in the rankings. Morgantown was number one, followed by Shepherdstown, Charleston and Huntington.

The list was compiled based on a range of attributes such as access to public transportation, high volume of bars and restaurants, nightlife and entertainment. Additional attributes focus on the behaviors of the residents of the town, such as the amount of money spent on entertainment.

"As our previous research shows, Americans believe that their home is a reflection of their identity and that clearly goes beyond the property line and into the communities where they live," said Budge Huskey, president and chief operating officer, Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC.

Putnam case leads to company’s ‘bath salts’ being banned

By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

WINFIELD – A lawsuit filed

by West Virginia Attorney General Darrell McGraw in Putnam County Circuit Court has resulted in a preliminary injunction that bans Georgia-based Nutragenomics Manufactur-

ing, LLC from selling and advertising its “bath salts” and other synthetic drug chemicals in the state.

McGraw filed the lawsuit on April 30 in Putnam Circuit Court, to bar Nutragenomics Manufacturing from continuing to sell its designer drugs in West Virginia.

The synthetic drugs are marketed under names such as K2 or Spice and are also presented under misleading labels as incense, bath salts or plant food.

Under the court order announced Thursday, July 19, Nutragenomics is prohibited from conducting business in West Virginia and must prominently

place a notice on all of its Internet pages that it is banned from selling to West Virginia residents.

Also as part of the court order, Nutragenomics must not deceive consumers by claiming that its chemical compounds SEE BAN ON PAGE 3

The company must also provide a database identifying all customers in West Virginia from Jan. 1, 2008, to the present and the amount of products.

Laboratories that manufacture chemicals like so-called "bath salts," "incense," "spice," and "spot remover" continually alter their compounds to stay "legal" and evade authorities, McGraw said.

Criminal cases have been pursued against bath salts distributors in other states with mixed results.

The West Virginia Attorney General's Office utilized the State's consumer protection statutes in a civil law enforcement action to block the supply of dangerous compounds from Nutragenomics.

"Cutting off the supply of these illicit substances at the source is central to ending this debilitating menace," McGraw

said.

"This action by our Consumer Protection Division protects our state's citizens from further harm by this distribu-

tor's dangerous drugs."

McGraw's lawsuit stated that Nutragenomics sold chemicals used to create synthetic designer drugs that imitate the ef-

fects of cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, and ecstasy (MDMA).

The company marketed the chemicals in bulk under phony street names such as "bath salts" and other innocentsounding labels while falsely claiming its products were both safe and legal.

McGraw asserted that designer drugs have been shown to cause seizures, psychosis, and death, and that Nutragenomics violated the State's criminal code.

McGraw also noted that such substance abuse devastates families and costs West Virginia hundreds of millions of dollars annually as it taxes law enforcement, the medical system, and communities.

McGraw said that the suit was filed in Putnam County because the abuse of synthetic drugs is a problem in the area, but added it could have been

District Governor pays Putnam Rotary Club a visit TEAYS VALLEY -- Rotary District Governor Ernie Hays visited the Putnam Rotary Club on Tuesday, July 17, and challenged club members to continue to grow in community service and membership numbers.

The Bluefield attorney is the chief Rotary leader in the southern part of West Virginia for 201213, the Rotary International District 7550.

But the new District Governor is no stranger to Putnam County or to Teays Valley.

"At one time or another, I have stayed in every hotel and eaten at every restaurant in the valley," he said. "This is really a homecoming for us."

Hays was accompanied by his wife, Beth. The couple at one time made several trips from Bluefield for her to obtain medical treatments at CAMC - Teays Valley -- then Putnam General.

"Those trips were often stressful," Hays said. "This trip has been a pleasure."

He commended the local club on its many service projects.

"Not only are you rendering

Rotary District Governor Ernie Hays speaks to the Putnam Rotary Club at the group’s meeting on Tuesday, July 17. service," he told the group, "but you increase fellowship among members, a great side benefit of being a Rotarian."

Hays said that the life of Rotary needed to be open to more people.

The number of local clubs in southern West Virginia is now down to 27.

"Our district has the smallest

number of local clubs of any Rotary district in the world. Membership numbers are good, but we need to have service and fellowship opportunities available in every community."

Hays brought a message from the new International Rotary President, Sakuji Tanaka.

"Sakuji grew up in post-war Japan, and he told me that never again should a people be subjected to such a tragedy. He wants to be known as the 'peace president' of Rotary.

"We all wish for a peaceful world and by working to help others as Rotarians, we can help bring lasting peace to the world."

“The banner for this theme is serene and beautiful. Embossed on the banner are cherry blossoms, together with an origami crane on a field of light blue. All of these are symbols of peace in Japan."

The Year Ahead Hays sent a general message through an open letter on the district website: "Each Club in this District is important, regard-

less of the size of membership.

Small Clubs with big hearts accomplish as much as large Clubs with large funds, when it comes to serving others. Together, we can make a difference in southern West Virginia.

"We will, together, grow membership, serve our local communities, and participate in district and international projects.

"Service Above Self reminds us that none of us can live for ourselves alone. A life lived in isolation is empty and without joy.

But when we live for others -when we focus on our role within our family, our community, and all humanity -- then we begin to realize our own place in the world.

The Water Jug Project "We have a great opportunity to work within that theme with the water jug project for water wells in South Sudan," Hays has said.

"This is a new country torn by strife, poverty, and war, whose people are struck with the terrible parasite, the guinea worm,

which exists because of unsafe water conditions.

"We can help with the digging, drilling, or refurbishing of water wells, giving these people clean, safe water. We can wipe out this parasite from the face of the earth "We have already helped Ghana wipe out the guinea worm completely, and now we can help abolish the parasite everywhere.

"One step at a time -- that is all that it takes! If every Rotarian just gives $1 a week, we can secure matching grants to truly show 'Peace Through Service.'"

As he acknowledged a standing ovation from Putnam Rotarians, Hays placed with the group a cooler water jug in which loose change might be deposited throughout the coming year -- to help rid the world of the guinea worm parasite.

The Putnam Rotary Club meets every Tuesday at noon in the community room at First State Bank in Teays Valley.

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 weigh-ins.

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 “Flaw-ida” - in anything from the bottom of the Everglades to a muddy hoofprint.

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.

REX MICHAEL WILCOXEN Rex Michael Wilcoxen, 45, of Fraziers Bottom, passed away Sunday, July 1, 2012, at CAMC General Division, Charleston.

Born April 7, 1967, in South Charleston, Rex was a son of the late Harmon Lesley and Mary Melinda Wray Wilcoxen. He was also preceded in death by his brother, Kenny Wilcoxen.

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. He also leaves behind best friends, brothers and hunting buddies, Timmy Legg, John Bush, Dayton Milhoan, John Miller, Harold Edwards and Charlie Bowie.

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.
