Former Standard newspaper columnist has First Book Published By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
ST. ALBANS – Former Standard newspaper columnist James Hale of St. Albans recently had his first book published. Hale, who wrote a weekly column on religion for nearly four years for The Putnam Standard and The Cabell Standard, is the author of "Why a Christian can and should vote for a Mormon in 2012." The book was published earlier this month and is available in both digital and traditional print versions. Hale said that he started working on the book last year, even before former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a Mormon, was identified as the Republican nominee for president in 2012. “I started out writing a book on a Godly society,” Hale said. “Once I started to do it, I took that idea and developed it.” At the same time as he was writing about a Godly society, Hale said that he viewed topical current events such as the ongoing presidential election through that prism. “From a Catholic, Lutheran and Protestant position there is good Biblical, historical, and moral reason to support a Mormon this election. Doctrinally we stand together on this issue,” Hale said. “We are not voting on a new pastor or evangelical mandate of scripture. We are voting on the cultural mandate of scripture that in turn allows all Christians and all people to worship within their own con-
Former Standard newspaper columnist James Hale of St. Albans recently had his first book published. Called "Why a Christian can and should vote for a Mormon in 2012” the book is available in both electronic and print editions. Photo by Jack Bailey viction." While making the argument that Christian voters should support Mitt Romney in the general election in November, Hale also touches on President
Barrack Obama's spirituality. Obama has said that he is a Christian. “President Obama does claim to be a Christian,” Hale said, “But many of his decisions don't reflect Christianity or Christian values. They reflect Communism which is based on an atheist view.” Hale's book just came out this month, and he said that so far he has not received a lot of feedback, positive or negative. He said that even though his book makes an argument in favor of Christian's supporting Romney for president, he has not tried to contact the Republican candidate for president. In addition to being a newspaper columnist and writer, Hale is a teacher of Reformed theology and currently serves as a teaching elder at Oakridge Bible Church in Charleston. He lives in St. Albans with his wife, Cindy, and the couple has three grown daughters. "Why a Christian can and should vote for a Mormon in 2012” is available now through Amazon.com, and should be available locally at area book stores in the coming weeks, Hale said. The electronic Kindle and Nook editions of the book are $5, while the softcover print edition is $9.99.

Red House man sentenced to four years for Illegal Prescription Drug Distribution STAFF REPORT RED HOUSE -- A Putnam County man has been sentenced to four years and three months in federal prison for illegally distributing prescription drugs. Kevin Caleb Barrett, 23, of Red House, previously pleaded guilty in April to aiding and abetting the distribution of oxymorphone, also known as “Opana.” He was sentenced on Monday, July 16. On Nov. 18, 2011, law enforcement officers with the Metropolitan Drug EnforceNetwork Team ment (MDENT ) utilized a confidential informant to make a controlled purchase of oxymorphone pills from the defendant. Barrett admitted that at the time, he ser ved as the
middle-man to complete an illegal pill transaction between the informant and his known associate. The defendant further admitted that the informant picked him up in Dunbar and drove to a predetermined location in Huntington. The defendant admitted that when they arrived in Huntington, he met with Jacob Hatfield and gave Hatfield $1,250 in exchange for 25 40-milligram oxymorphone pills. Following the illegal transaction, Barrett returned to the vehicle and gave the pills to the informant. This case was prosecuted as part of an ongoing effort led by the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of West
Virginia to combat the illicit sale and misuse of prescription drugs. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, joined by federal, state and local law enforcement agencies, is committed to aggressively pursuing and shutting down illegal pill trafficking, eliminating open air drug markets, and curtailing the spread of opiate painkillers in communities across the Southern District. The Metropolitan Drug Enforcement Network Team (MDENT ) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) conducted the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Monica D. Coleman handled the prosecution. United States District Judge Robert C. Chambers presided over the sentencing.

Putnam Farmers’ Market selected for Innovative Statewide Training Network HURRICANE - The West Virginia Farmers Market Association announced today that the Putnam Farmers’ Market has been selected as one of ten markets for participation in its statewide Farmers Market Training Network Pilot Program. With the number of farmers markets in West Virginia roughly tripling over the past decade, interest in local foods is on the rise. In order to support the efforts of markets and co-ops around the state, the West Virginia Farmers Market Association is launching a pilot program aimed at forming a training network for markets in all stages of development. This program, the Farmers Market Training Network Pilot Program, is designed to provide training, networking opportunities and technical assistance to selected farmers markets. The end goal of the project is to keep more money circulating in local
communities by boosting the long-term success of farmers markets and the profitability of their vendors. Developed in partnership with the West Virginia Food & Farm Coalition, WVU Extension Service and the West Virginia Community Development Hub, the purpose of the program is to strengthen the long-term viability of farmers markets and the income-earning capacity of their vendors through targeted technical assistance and peer networking. Funding is provided through a grant from the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation. The process was competitive, with the Farmers Market Association selecting ten applicants from a larger pool for a spot in the Training Network. The following markets were identified as the best fits for the program: Berkeley Springs Farmers
Market; Buckhannon-Upshur Farmers Market; Fayette County Farmers Market; Lewisburg Farmers Market; Mineral County Famers Market; Monroe County Farmers Market; Pocahontas County Farmers Market; Putnam Farmers’ Market; The Wild Ramp (a new local foods outlet in and the Huntington); Williamson Farmers Market. “We had a great pool of applicants to choose from, and I think we have done a good job of selecting markets from all over the state that can really get maximum impact from this program,” said Larr y Lower, WVFMA President. Over the course of the 2012 and 2013 market seasons, these selected markets will attend four training and networking events with other market managers, will receive assistance from a qualified consultant on a topic of their choosing and
will be eligible to apply for a mini-grant of up to $1,000 to address their needs. Participants will have access to expert advice on topics such as risk management, long term business planning and producer development. “In talking with market managers, we often hear that they feel isolated and that they want to learn what makes other markets successful,” stated Savanna Lyons, Program Manager of the West Virginia Food and Farms Coalition. “This program is a great, participantdriven way for market managers to learn from each other while getting that little kick of cash and technical assistance to help them move to the next level. Strong markets will make farmers more profitable as well, especially now that more and more West Virginia farmers are selling directly to consumers.” Participants will also be-
come part of a statewide learning community and build relationships with other markets so that they can share knowledge and collaborate. “The Putnam Farmers’ Market sees this as an opportunity strengthen their mission to provide consumers with fresh seasonal produce and educational forums that support community farmers,” said Chrissy Foster, Putnam Farmers’ Market president. The FMTNPP is a WVFMA initiative funded by the Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation and coordinated in partnership with the West Virginia Community Development Hub, and the West Virginia Food & Farm Coalition.

Thanks for all the Elk
David Payne Sr.
Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
I saw a very interesting article in the West Virginia Division of Natural Resource's magazine last week. The magazine, West Virginia Wildlife, is a quarterly publication of the DNR. In the summer 2012 issue, there's an article on elk management in West Virginia, which for me is quite topical, since I wrote a column about elk management a few weeks ago. The article was written by Gary Foster, who is the DNR's chief of game management – the guy basically in charge of the elk-management efforts. Back when I was an outdoors
writer for a daily newspaper, I paid close attention to the elk situation as soon as we realized we had elk, which had just showed up. I developed a good understanding of what the elk management plan would be and how that plan evolved from numerous interviews over several years. In the article, Foster outlines the plan very similar to the way I did in my column – elk used to live in West Virginia, but we killed them all, now they're back and we'll manage an elk herd in the southern coalfields. However, there is one difference between our two pieces and it's a big one. Foster writes “In 1972, the then West Virginia Department of Natural Resources conducted its first elk reintroduction feasibility study. In 2005, the Division of Natural Resources, with funding provided by the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, completed another study...” But oh my! There is a major can of worms between those two sentences. What Foster doesn't mention is that in that 1972 study, the state of West Virginia studied elk reintroduction and concluded that they would be a lot more trouble than they are worth, primarily because of potential for crop damage and motorists' safety. If you think a deer can do a lot of dam-
age to the front of your car, try hitting an elk sometime. Another 1972 concern – which doesn't apply now – was that the deer population had not yet been restored. But Kentucky made the decision for us. They reintroduced elk there and stacked them right along the West Virginia border. The elk, unaware of the conclusions of our 1972 study, walked on over in search of greener pastures. When the elk finally showed up a few years ago, the West Virginia DNR biologists I talked to knew exactly how we'd be managing the herd. The minute Kentucky stocked elk in 1997, they began working on their game plan. What Foster's article represents to me is an acceptance of what amounts to Kentucky's decision to stock elk in West Virginia as water under the bridge. States do have disagreements and take action to resolve them. In the early years of this country, they could actually go to war with one another, which almost happened a few times – the reason Michigan has its Upper Peninsula was an appeasement in a disagreement with Ohio over who owned Toledo that almost led to a war between them – and did happen during the Civil War. After the Civil War, all those arguments have gone to court instead. Settling such disagreements is the
Project restores Brook-Trout Spawning Area By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources has completed a project with private enterprise to restore brook trout spawning in the Beaver Fork of the Shaver's Fork River. The project restores access for the Shaver's Fork brook trout to Beaver Creek for spawning, said DNR director Frank Jezioro. “For the first time in 25 years, brook trout in the Shaver's Fork main stem can move upstream into Beaver Creek to their critical tributary spawning areas,” Jezioro said. Shaver's Fork is unique in that it is a big-river brook trout fishery. For more than a century, the stream has suffered the effects of progress, such as railroad construction and logging that have harmed brook trout habitat. The DNR has enlisted the help of West
Virginia University research scientists, stream-restoration experts from the Canaan Valley Institute, and railroad construction specialists from Trakspec Railroad Corporation. The team designed and built a fish-friendly system of culverts and passages, to eliminate obstructions that had blocked brook trout's access to Beaver Creek for spawning. They converted these obstacles to a fish-friendly section of stream with a complex of culverts – the centerpiece of which is a partially-buried 10-foot culvert with a simulated stream channel inside. Midway through the project, a major design change was required to provide a design that could be easily adapted to other streams. “The most impressive thing for me,” said DNR Program Manager Steve Brown “was the way the team pivoted to an entirely new design and pulled together to build such a high-quality project.
Major thanks to the guys at CONTECH Construction Products who located a 10-foot culvert for us in a matter of hours and had it on site in three days.” Jezioro said the project will serve as a model for future transportation culvert replacements because it complies with all current and proposed U.S. Army Corps of Engineers requirements for fish passage through culverts. The effort was part of the DNR's expansion of its Acid Stream Restoration Project, where the DNR has previously worked with private partners to reduce acidity of streams and make them more habitable for trout. Recently, the program has expanded to include physical habitat restoration, thanks in part to new grant funding from congressional appropriations and the Eastern Brook Trout JointVenture.

primary reason the Supreme Court even exists. States can and do sue other states – West Virginia was involved in one such landmark Supreme Court case, Virginia vs. West Virginia in the 1870s. Of course, I'm not a legal expert, if I were, I'd probably be out lawyering and not writing newspaper columns. However, I believe that Kentucky is liable for the cost of managing this elk herd it has bestowed on us. It will be a long time before elk-hunting permits will even remotely pay for it. While I suspect elk isn't something you'd make a literal Supreme Court case of, but at the very least you'd think the DNR would be saying Kentucky really pulled one over on us. But that's not what we're saying. Foster's article – which would have needed to have been approved by the DNR higher-ups to run in the agency's official magazine – shows class. It says: these were the cards we were dealt. We're not even going to say that Kentucky dealt them to us from the bottom of the deck. All we are saying is we have elk and this is what we are going to do with them. That, dear reader, is class. The 2005 study concluded that the best habitat for Elk was in the Ohio Valley, but we don't want them there because of high automobile traffic and the high num-
ber of farms where elk could cause serious crop damage. The worst habitat in the whole state was the southern coalfields, but that's exactly where we're going to keep them. There were some other areas where elk would be acceptable, such as Roane, Wirt, and the eastern Highland counties (such as Pendelton) but to get there, they'd have to go through someplace we don't want them, namely the Kanawha Valley and the Beckley area. The DNR will try to keep the elk contained in portions of Boone, Lincoln, Wayne counties and the entirety of Logan, McDowell, Wyoming and Mingo counties. While I wish we could have made the decision ourselves, I am happy the elk are back in West Virginia. I grew up on the bank of the Elk River and often imagined the days of roaming elk when I was a boy. God put them here and we killed them all. It's a major wrong that is righted. But they will cause problems. The DNR will try to keep elk in the coalfields, but ultimately, they'll find their way elsewhere, even in places where we don't want them. This is a story that will be playing out for decades. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
Fishing Report Compiled by David Payne Sr. Lower Ohio and Kanawha Rivers: Fishing should be excellent. Jigs with minnows could provide some excellent catches of sauger, white bass, hybrid striped bass and freshwater drum. If artificial baits are your preference white and chartreuse are good colors to try. Blue, flathead and channel catfish activity is picking up. Guyandotte, Coal, Poca, Elk and Mud rivers: Flows are low but local conditions will vary with the current spotty but strong storms that have been passing through. Stephens Lake: Lake is very clear. Catfish have been caught on chicken livers, worms and dip baits. Beech Fork: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. Anglers should call the Beech Fork U.S. Army Corps of Engineers office at (304) 525-4831 for more information. Bass fishing may be slowing now with hot day time temperatures. Try fishing early in the morning or near dusk to beat the heat, channel catfish will be actively feeding during this time as well. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can be caught using white lures. East Lynn: Lake is at summer pool, but muddy from recent storm events. For more information call the corps' recorded message at 304849-9861. 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 will be good throughout the day. 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.

Work on new Animal Shelter could begin in August By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com
WINFIELD – Work could begin on the new Putnam County Animal Shelter by mid- to late-August, following a special meeting of the Putnam County Commission on Monday, July 16. The Monday meeting featured the first reading of an ordinance for financing of the Animal Shelter. A second reading of the financing ordinance and a public hearing on the ordinance will now take place at the Commission's meeting on Aug. 14 at 9 a.m. Following the Aug. 14 meeting, if the financing ordinance is approved, work on the new shelter could begin quickly, according to County Manager Brian Donat. “Following the second reading on Aug. 14 we hope to be able to close on financing fairly quickly and turn the contractor loose on the project,” Donat said. At the July 16 meeting, Donat also presented financing proposals for the project. Ohio Valley Bank offered the best fixed rate terms with 3.95 percent over 20

Photo by Jack Bailey years or 4.2 percent over 30 years. Commissioners voted 2-1 to accept the Ohio Valley Bank proposal, but have not yet decided
whether to take the 20 or 30 year option. Commissioner Steve Andes voted against the Ohio Valley
Bank proposal. Andes said that while he supports the need for a new Animal Shelter he has questioned the cost of the new facil-
ity. Charleston-based BBL Carlton submitted the low bid of $2,053,967 for the new Animal Shelter at a special meeting of the Putnam County Commission on June 21. The new animal shelter will be located on the Eleanor side of the Ross Booth Memorial Bridge at Winfield. It will replace an existing facility in Winfield that has been in use for 27 years. In other news at the July 16 meeting, Donat said that the county finished the past fiscal year, which ended June 30, with a $119,138 carryover in its Coal Severance Fund. Those funds will be used for water and sewer projects in the county, he said. Also, in a first at the July 16 meeting, Putnam County Commissioners Joe Haynes and Gary Tillis both participated via telephone. Haynes was on vacation, and Tillis was at a work-related conference. The next meeting of the Putnam County Commission will be Tuesday, June 24, at 9 a.m. at the courthouse in Winfield.
