Manchin welcomes WV Veterans to Washington WV’s first-ever “Always Free Honor Flight” Brings 31 Veterans to D.C. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On the 68th anniversary of D-Day, U.S. Senator Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) proudly welcomed 31 veterans from West Virginia to the nation’s capital for the state’s inaugural “Always Free Honor Flight.”

The veterans visited the capital free of cost to see the memorials built in their honor. Twelve of them served inWorldWar II, three served in the Korean War and 16 served in Vietnam.

“It is such an honor to have these brave servicemen joining us here in Washington today,” Senator Manchin said. “I’ve always said that West Virginia is one of the most patriotic states in this great nation, and we are so proud of the number of veterans and active duty members who have served our country with honor and distinction. Showing our appreciation to the men and women who have served this nation is something we should do each and every day. But today is a special day for us to pay tribute to those who have made the ultimate sac-

The Honor Flight Network is a nationwide effort to ensure that veterans have the opportunity to visit Washington, D.C. to see the monuments that were built to honor their service.

Manchin welcomed the 31 veterans and their escorts to D.C. with a special edition of his

weekly “Wednesday Wake-Up with Joe” coffee reception. He and Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) jointly hosted the group in the U.S. Capitol Building. After the coffee, Senator Manchin toured the World War II memorial with the group.

On Tuesday (June 5), Senator Manchin delivered a speech on

the Senate floor to recognize the veterans making the trip to D.C. forWestVirginia’s first-ever Honor Flight. The “Always Free Honor Network” was brought to West Virginia by the Denver Foundation and Little Buddy Radio, located in Princeton.

These nonprofit organizations were founded by Bob Denver – who played Gilligan on “Gilligan’s Island” – and his wife Dreama, a West Virginia native.

In the speech, the Senator said: “These heroes engaged in combat across the globe, fighting in the Aleutian Islands, England, Normandy, France, Germany, Luxemburg, the South Pacific, the Philippines, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Some served here at home, servicing aircraft with ammunition. Some served in historic events, such as the Battle of the Bulge, the liberation of the Philippines and the front in Japan. They took on different roles, serving as infantrymen, door gunners, amSEE VETERANS ON PAGE 3

“These veterans come from all parts of our great state – fromWelch to Beckley to Huntington to Princeton to Bluefield to Lester and all of the places in between.”

Manchin also recognized the volunteer escorts who accompanied the veterans to Washington. Three of the World War II veterans were accompanied by their sons, who themselves are veterans of the Vietnam War. Seven of the escorts were representing their deceased fathers who served in various wars throughout the years, including the organizers of this tremendous event: Dreama Denver and her late husband Bob, Charlie Thomas and Pam Coulbourne.

HGTV design star, West Virginia native Kristan Cunningham set to speak at Tamarack June 21 CHARLESTON, WV - Looking for design tips for your home or office space? Ever wonder what it’s really like behind the cameras at HGTV? Here’s your chance to find out The Tamarack Foundation is inviting women throughout the state to attend its inaugural Ladies’ Luncheon June 21 with featured interior designer and DYI expert Kristan Cunningham. The luncheon is set to take place at TAMARACK: The Best of West Virginia Conference Center in Beckley from noon to 1 p.m. Cunningham will share her interior design secrets and answer questions one-on-one. The cost is $30 per person and includes a delicious meal prepared by Tamarack’s Greenbrier-trained chefs.

The event is made possible thanks to the support of Lewis Automotive, Tamarack Foundation and WV LIVING Magazine. All proceeds from the event will benefit West Virginia artisans.

Cunningham, a West Virginia native, is one of the most recognizable faces in design television. In 2001, she was on HGTV’s “Designer’s Challenge”

and one year later she kicked off the first of 10 seasons as part of the HGTV “Design on a Dime” family. She has previously worked for the “Rachael Ray Show” as the resident design guru. Premiering this July on OWN, Cunningham will serve as host, mentor and judge on the competition series “Super Saver Showdown”.

The Tamarack Foundation is an economic development engine for West Virginia that partners with artisan owned small businesses in all 55 counties to produce art and products for Tamarack and other markets. A recent economic impact study showed that in one year, the artists and artisans associated with the Foundation and Tamarack contributed $18.6 million to West Virginia’s economy.

“The Foundation is important because it provides basic communications, education and networking opportunities for West Virginia artists and artisans who have a quality product to sell, but need assistance and guidance in developing solid business plans and marketing skills to help build their business. Donor support of the

Foundation makes possible mentoring programs that bring emerging artisans in to contact with juried professionals who provide hands-on experience and creative encouragement to help these new artists improve their work. In turn, this allows them to build their businesses and contribute to the state’s creative economy while preserving and furthering quality cultural heritage in the state,” says Sally Barton, Tamarack Foundation executive director.

“One of the missions of WV LIVING Magazine is to showcase our state's finest artists, entrepreneurs, and success stories,” said Nikki Bowman, WV LIVING magazine editor.

“We are so proud of Kristan Cunningham's success, and we think that her story serves as an inspiration for us all. Opportunities like this don't happen very often, so we hope that everyone will join us for the Ladies Luncheon. We guarantee that you'll come away motivated to ‘live life a little lovelier’ in West Virginia.”

To RSVP for the event, contact the Tamarack Foundation

Debbie’s Poetry Corner

By Debra J. Harmes-Kurth

Send your poetry to Debra Harmes-Kurth 1042 Pike Street • Milton,WV 25541 It can be a nerve wracking experience waiting to hear back from an editor after you have sent your poetry for possible publication. Have you ever wondered what is taking him or her so long? I can tell you from personal experience that putting together any publication can be a long drawn out affair, depending of course on how many other writers submitted poems for consideration. If you sent a selfaddressed, stamped envelope nine out of ten editors will let you know something as soon as they have made a decision, so be patient. Some editors could ask you to make a few revisions; you will have to decide if that is something that you are willing to do. If you feel that the revisions compromise the intent of your poem you do not have to make the changes. If you don’t understand why the revisions were suggested ask questions. I have made some wonderful friends in the give and take of the editing process. Just remember be openminded and willing to consider his or her suggestions. If you decide you do not want to make the changes, thank the editor for his time and consideration and send that poem out again. Not all poems are right for all publications, don’t get discouraged.

Until next time keep writing.

You can send your submissions to the above address or email me at cabellputnamstandardpo-

Oh Bluebird, with your faded red vest Feathered coat of blue as the sky ~ Winter’s essence sensed, a journey planned Your last song was sung, as goodbye ~ Oh Bluebird, patiently I pier heavens high Treetops south I know you rest ~ So please forget not, your far away home Your beauty is missed, presence blessed ~ Oh Bluebird, imagined, a vision, a glimpse Your songs through my shutter, still ring ~ A worn wooden box, a home empty still Will you ever come home to sing ~ Oh Bluebird, with shadows so tiny and faint Fluttered greetings from a branch, you now bring ~ A worn wooden box, now a nest of blue Welcome home, my little usher of spring ~ Ella Woodall, Ohio

Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College announces Early Childhood Education Degree designed for Educators of young children from Birth to age Five Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College announced today that the college will introduce an AAS degree in Early Childhood Education. The new degree will focus on preparing students to work with children ages birth to five.

"This new program builds on Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College’s commitment to providing quality career education and at the same time meeting the needs of communities in the Kanawha Valley. We worked with the WV Department of Education, River Valley Child Development Services, WV Department of Health and Human Services, and several institutions of higher education to develop the degree. One of the biggest challenges in early childhood education today is recruiting and retaining highly-qualified teachers and aides. We hope that our new degree will provide a pipeline of effective early childhood professionals throughout the region," said Director of Continuing Education, Kim Sovine.

The Early Childhood Education Associate of Applied Science degree is a four-semester program designed to prepare students for employment as teachers or aides in early childhood programs, preschools, and Head Start Programs. Students will gain background in child development, as well as, planning and administering early childhood educational programs. The courses will combine lecture activities with observation and participation activities in early childhood settings. The associate’s degree will allow students to enter the workforce or further their education as early childhood professionals.

Scholarship opportunities are available through T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood® WEST VIRGINIA and the Child Development Scholarship program through the WV Higher Education Policy Commission. Admission into the program is going on now. If you are interested and would like more information, please contact Kim Sovine, Director of Continuing Education and Community Development for Kanawha Valley Community and Technical College at (304) 414-4446 or ksovine@kvctc.edu.

Residents of Winfield awake to Vehicle Tampering SUBMITTED ARTICLE WINFIELD, WV - Mayor Randy Barrett of Winfield said, “Multiple citizens in the 700 block of Winfield Avenue awoke Saturday morning (June 2) to find that some person, or individuals had tampered in the early morning hours with their motor vehicles, which had been parked in front of their residence. The “Winfield Police Department was busy over the weekend investigating five individual reports of vehicle tampering, and one report of theft from a vehicle,” said Barrett.

According to Chief of Police John Perrine, the police received their first report of a breaking

and entering of a vehicle at 10:48 A.M, Saturday morning. Tenants living at residential complex located at 749 Winfield Avenue discovered that someone had rummaged through the glove box and center console of their 2006, Town and Country minivan. The owners reported to the police a theft of a “30 GB I POD” from their vehicle. Estimated value of the I POD was approximately $100, but the owners reported a significant financial investment of over 1000 songs that were purchased and downloaded to the I POD from the internet.

Throughout the day the Winfield Police received and investi-

gated similar complaints from additional homeowners. The residents of 750 Winfield Avenue reported that they noticed the cab light on inside of their 1998 Chevrolet S 10 Truck. Upon further inspection of the vehicle the owners determined someone had entered the vehicle and tampered with the contents. The occupants of 751 Winfield Avenue contacted police to report that the passenger compartment of their 2006, Toyota Corolla had been rifled, and personal property had been tossed in and outside of the vehicle. The residents at 753 Winfield Avenue reported their 2007, Nissan Rogue had

been breached and the door left open. The Winfield Police Department received their last vehicle complaint Saturday evening at 8:01 P.M. when another tenant who resides at the apartment complex at 749 Winfield Avenue discovered that the glove box of his 2008, Ford Edge had been left open and the contents spewed across the passenger compartment.

Chief Perrine said, “Preliminary investigation indicates that in all five incidents of vehicle tampering there were no signs of forced entry, or damage to any of the vehicles. In four of the cases the owners reported no property

losses. The Winfield Police Department currently does not have any suspects. “It appears that many of the vehicle owners became victims because they felt comfortable enough in their residential surroundings to leave their vehicle unsecured in their driveways.” The Chief has asked for citizens who reside and work in the community to immediately report any suspicious activity to the police, and ask residents of Winfield to be vigilant with keeping vehicles and residences locked at all times.

Robotics Class to be taught at Winfield High School

By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

Robotics won't be just an extracurricular activity at Winfield High School anymore.

The Putnam County Board of Education approved a measure at its June 4 meeting that will create a Robotics course at the school – pending state approval – at Winfield High School next year. Winfield has a successful extracurricular robotics team, which fields a team of young robot designers who have competed at the national level. If there is interest elsewhere, the

course will be available for the rest of the county's high schools as well.

“The state has to still approve it, of course,” said Superintendent Chuck Hatfield, “but the robotics team at Winfield has been so successful, we want to offer this course at Winfield and other schools as well. Anything that prepares them to work in today's technology-driven world is of high interest and benefit to our kids.”

Hatfield said this will help the county's students be more competitive in a modern, technologysavvy workforce.

“This is something they can use right here to work in Putnam County – Toyota and Diamond Electric are just a couple of places,” he said.

The board also gave Hatfield a glowing annual evaluation. It went into executive session for about 10 minutes and upon returning, Board President Craig Spicer said the board had completed its annual evaluation of Hatfield and then it approved the evaluation by a unanimous vote.

“We are very pleased with the progress and accomplishments and we give a full vote of confidence. If you're not the best,”

Putnam Farm honored by Western Conservation District SUBMITTED ARTICLE RED HOUSE – The Western Conservation District has announced that the Just Our Luck Farm of Putnam County is the 2012 Western District Conservation Farm.

The farm is owned and operated by Greg and Patty Parsons of Red House.

The farm was chosen for its outstanding practices in the field of conservation efforts and utilization of natural resources, according to the Western Conservation District.

The farm is a cow-calf beef operation. The farm does several conservation efforts throughout the year, including Rotational grazing, pasture management, waste management, and water conservation.

The Parsons family is very active in the community, as they take part in local school, church and various conservation education programs.

The family has hosted several church events and youth group campouts. The award was given to recognize conservation efforts

throughout the district.

This was no easy task as the Western District conservation supervisors evaluated the farms according to such criteria as the best management practices, Conservation Farm plans, land usage and farm family involvement in the community.

The Parsons’ will receive a farm sign along with other awards at the 66th annual Western Conservation District awards banquet this fall.

Spicer told Hatfield, “we'd like to see who is.”

The board also approved the purchase of 9 new school buses for $866,000 as Board Member Jack Coyner reminisced about school bus prices of old.

“I just think it's interesting,” he said, “that in 1976, a new school bus cost $17,000, now looks like it's almost $100,000.”

Hatfield said that teachers and students have been working hard to prepare for the transition into newly-constructed school buildings.

“Teachers and students have been working hand-in-hand to

move into the new Buffalo High facility next year and they're ready to move out of Poca Elementary and into the middle school (where the elementary will be housed until the Poca elementary renovations are completed). Confidence Elementary is also packed up and ready to go,” he said.

In other business, the board approved a policy that would make drug testing mandatory for employees who are required to hold a CDL license.

Public Meeting on raising Fire Service Fee set for Thursday

By Jack Bailey jackbailey@theputnamstandard.com

WINFIELD – Two Putnam County commissioners who opposed raising the county's fire service fee last year say that a recent proposed increase from the county Fire Board is more reasonable, but are waiting to make a final decision until after a public meeting Thursday night, June 14, in Winfield.

Putnam County Commission President Gary Tillis said that the most recent request for an increase was more reasonable than a request last year that he opposed.

“I definitely feel that this request is way more reasonable,” Tillis said of the request that the Fire Board made last month that would raise the $25 a year fire service fee for most homeowners to $37.50 a year.

“But I want to hear from the public first before I make a final decision. I haven't made up my mind yet. I definitely want to listen to the concerns and comments from the public.”

Likewise, Commissioner Joe Haynes opposed last year's request for a fire service fee increase, but finds the most recent

request more reasonable. Last year, the Fire Board asked for fee increases that would have increased the fee 100 percent or more depending on the size of a structure.

“I find this proposal more reasonable,” Haynes said of the recent rate increase proposal. “I still haven't made up my mind, but I personally find it more reasonable.”

Haynes said that last year when the Fire Board asked for an increase he received an overwhelming amount of calls about the issue, with most callers opposing the increase.

This time around, he said that he has received far fewer calls, but the calls he has received have been against the increase.

“If people are for or against the

increase, I want to hear valid reasons,” Haynes said.

County Commissioner Steve Andes, who also serves on the Fire Board, supported the proposed increase last year, and is doing so again this time around.

“There is a real need for this, “Andes said, noting that many pieces of equipment in the county's fire fighting fleet of vehicles are aging and in need of repair or replacement.

The most recent proposed increase from the Fire Board is scaled back from last year's proposal. The proposed rates are based on the size of a structure.

For residential homes up to 2,500 square feet the current fire service fee is $25 and under the proposed increase would go up to $37.50 a year. For residential

homes 2,501 square feet and over the proposal would raise the fire service fee from $30 to $45 a year.

For commercial property under 2,500 square feet the fire service fee would increase from $50 to $75 a year, while for commercial property 2,501 to 3,750 square feet the fee would increase from $100 to $150. Commercial property fees would continue to escalate based on the size of a structure until they top out at buildings larger than 20,001 square feet. For those size commercial buildings the rate would increase from $750 to

$1,125 a year.

Fire chiefs in Putnam County say that the increases are necessary in order to keep pace with the rising costs of fuel, workers' compensation insurance and equipment. If approved by the Commission, the fee increases would bring the Fire Board an estimated $1.1 million a year. Currently, the fire service fees bring in more than $700,000 a year.

The meeting to discuss raising the fire service fee is Thursday, June 14, at 7 p.m. at the courthouse in Winfield.

In The Midst of the Storm… A Rainbow Shines The mesothelioma journey began for me and my family in spring of 2008. My daddy was sick and deteriorating without a diagnosis. My mother and I knew he was sick with something really bad like Cancer. In and out of the hospitals with every tests and scan done that was imaginable and still no answers and still he was getting weaker and weaker. The strongest man I ever knew, my best friend, my sports buddy, my daddy, was losing a medical battle.

The best news of all of this tragedy was the day of June 7, 2008 when my father accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal savior and was so proud to tell anyone that made it to his room. His eyes would fill with tears as he would say, “Had I known it felt this good I would have done this a long time ago, you don’t have to drink to have a good time”. Praise the Lord and Thank my Uncle (his brother) George for being there to lead him to the Lord that faithful day.

Finally after many tests and long nights in the hospital the doctors decided to do exploratory surgery on June, Friday the 13th, 2008. Before Daddy was prepped I asked his surgeon multiple times, will we know today what is wrong with him? He repeatedly responded to me, No, not today until we run tests on the biopsies.

After what seemed to be forever but really was just a morning in surgery, they call “The Dorsey Family” to the consultation room.

All of us gathered around, me, my

mom , sister, Aunts, Uncles and friends expecting to hear “the surgery went well, he is in recovery and you will be able to see him shortly in his room”. Instead the horrible news from the doctor spilled from his mouth in a non sugar coated way “Unfortunately, we have a diagnosis, it is Mesothelioma!!” “It is in a very progressed stage but that is all I know at this time, you will have to speak with his doctors for more answers”. His oncologist was out of town and we were just stuck with tears, heartache and little hope until we had a meeting with him a few days later.

He came in and said, “I suggest you get an attorney right away, the tumors have progressed and are too far along for any type of radiation, chemotherapy or treatment at this time, your life expectancy is 9-12 months”. As we all held in our gasps and tears in front of Daddy, he added up the months on his fingers and said, “I won’t even be here for Christmas” shrugged his shoulders and hung his head. This was a sight and a moment as a daughter you may never erase from your mind.

Daddy was released from the hospital the end of June and went home with my mother. They then came to my house intending to stay just a few days to be closer for visitors and the doctors’ appointments. He walked into my house one day and was on a walker the very next and basically consumed to the bed a few more days after

Pictured are Missy Bowles, (Mom) Sharon, and (sister) Dena during the 2nd Annual Walk. that. On July 4th, 2008 started the nightmare that we would encounter and remember as a bad dream for the rest of our lives. I had been lying in bed with daddy in silence with a few final words spoke to one another assuring of our love to the other and praying with him. As I got up I told him to ring this little bell beside of him if he needed anything. It was just as I sat down on the couch in the living room I hear him coughing.

Mom and I rushed to his side and noticed he was coughing up blood. We rushed him in an ambulance to the hospital that night.

Daddy never returned home with us. Just five short days later he went home to the arms of the

Lord.

Letting go of my daddy has been the toughest thing I have ever had to do in my life. Life would never be the same and there was a whole forever that could not be filled.

However, I was a new mother to a 4-month old son that we decided to name after my daddy way before he even got sick. Jaden Owen Bowles was born in February 2008 and was God’s precious gift to keep us smiling when the pain of not having daddy seemed too hard to bear.

It took me a year of grieving and fighting for his legal rights. Then I decided God has now given me a mission and I must follow. He spoke so loudly to me that I would almost promise He was sitting right beside of me. I was to learn how to put on a benefit walk in my daddy’s honor and raise money for research of mesothelioma. So that is just what I have done. My first step was to google mesothelioma support and that is how I was led to Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation. They were able to direct me in my first steps of how to put one together and from that point on it took off. Not only was it a walk, I decided to do a gospel sing, raffles, silent auction, 50/50 and a catered lunch.

This September will be my third year at putting this event on in Eleanor Town Park in Eleanor, WV. Each year we have raised around or a little over $15,000 for research.

We have had a great turn out and each year it continues to grow with the help and sponsorship of our local communities. I am blessed at

all the support I have received. I organize the event solely on my own. My mother lends financial and emotional support and my husband, sister and family give help the day of event with the different activities going on. After our 2nd annual event, my mother, sister, aunt and myself flew to NYC the next day to spend National Meso Day with other warriors outside of the Today Show to raise awareness of this terrible disease.

It was an honor to meet so many connected to this cancer.

I could not stop there……I then had to make sure that in Daddy’s honor the residents of West Virginia would understand and acknowledge what Mesothelioma is and that we have a National Designated day for it. I spoke with Jessica Barker at MARF, she was a great help of guidance to tell me who I should start with. I contacted my House Representative, Brady Paxton and he was so eager to meet with me and help me get the ball rolling. I then stated my goal and issue and why this meant so much to me. I contacted the Senator, Mike Hall and he took off with it on his side. In less than one month from visiting the Capitol, my mother, my son and myself was invited to the Capitol to sit through House and Senate for passage of the Resolution. As of March 2nd, 2012 National Mesothelioma Awareness Day is now recognized in the State of West Virginia.

I am proud of my efforts that my daddy’s life has pushed me to do, but this will never bring him back.

He was such an unselfish and giving man that I know if he could he would do all he could to help others that face this disease with more treatment options than he had. So in his honor and because he cannot, I will keep fighting for him and for others. My family did not know where to turn, what to do or even where to start after his diagnosis and I do not want another family to feel this helpless in such a hard and trying time. I am here to help, guide and give them advice about the next steps to take and who to contact for help.

I hope God continues to guide me in my life journey and stays with me along the way. I am very blessed to have been able to have a father for 34 years that loved and cared for me like he did. Sadly that he working for his family is what ultimately took him from us. Although, I know God’s promises are true and we will spend eternity with him again one day, and that day is coming soon.

Hurricane Student attends Reception at Governor's Mansion

'Relay for Life' set for July 13-14 in Winfield

CHARLESTON – Hurricane High School graduate Cody Niebur recently joined Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin for a reception at the Governor’s Mansion to celebrate the success of the PROMISE Scholarship Program and the achievements of students who have earned and retained the scholarship.

Niebur, a 2012 graduate of Hurricane High School, will attend college in the fall.

PROMISE Scholars come from every county in the state, and over the past decade more than $315 million has been invested in their success. In 2011, more than 20 percent of high school seniors in West Virginia met all criteria to receive the PROMISE Scholarship.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the PROMISE Scholarship Program, which was launched in 2002 under the leadership of former Gov. Bob Wise, former State Sen. Lloyd Jackson, II, Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin in his

SUBMITTED ARTICLE WINFIELD -- Half of all men and a third of all women in the United States will develop some form of cancer during their lifetime.

Once considered a terminal condition, new treatments and research are bringing hope to thousands who now survive a cancer diagnosis.

Tambra Cheman is herself, a cancer survivor, she told the Putnam Rotary Club at the group's June 5 meeting. She survived, and she is leading the charge to bring hope and survival with a local "Relay for Life" celebration in Winfield in July.

The event will take off at Winfield High School on Friday and Saturday, July 13 and July 14, beginning with a celebration parade. Hurricane High School's George Watson will be the parade grand marshal, and Winfield's Jeremy Huff will be the junior grand marshal.

A traditional candlelight "Illuminaria Ceremony" will honor those who battled cancer and loved ones who have been lost to the disease."It's a life-changing experience," said Cheman.

A "Wacky Olympics" football competition will feature the Hurricane and Winfield teams.

Cheman says the mayor of the community of the losing team will be painted in the colors of the winner and march in their next Homecoming Parade.

Visitors are encouraged to participate in the relay.

Research shows that receiving the PROMISE Scholarship increases students’ likelihood of completing higher education, because the program requires

students to maintain higher grades and take rigorous course loads during college. Thus, PROMISE is a valuable tool to ensuring that our students not only attend college, but also graduate on-time and are prepared to enter our work force.

'Four-time Rotarian' inducted into Putnam club -- again George D. Six has established something of a Rotarian track record up and down the Kanawha Valley, and on May 29th, 2012 he was inducted for the second time into the Putnam club by President Bob Keely.

Six began his Rotary service career at Pt. Pleasant in 1975. He served as President of the Pt. Pleasant group in 1983-84.

Working his way up the Kanawha River with American Electric Power, Six transferred to Putnam Rotary and was a member here from 1996 to 2001.

And when he became manager of the AEP Simulator Learning Center in 2001, he transferred to the St. Albans Rotary Club. He served as president of the St. Albans group in 201011.

A Paul Harris Fellow and sustaining member (contributing each year to the Rotary Foundation), Six has twice been recognized as a Rotarian-of-the-Year (1982 and 2009). For the past five years, he has maintained a record of perfect attendance.

Radio stations WQBE and Electric 102 will be transmitting live from the relay site in Winfield.

The Relay for Life sponsored by the American Cancer Society began in 1985 when survivor Dr. Gordy Klatt raised $27,000 from friends who cheered him on in a walk/run in Tacoma, Wash. Over 24 hours, Klatt ran more than 83 miles circling the track in Baker Stadium at the University of Puget Sound.

"Relay for Life" events often last up to 24 hours, because "cancer never sleeps."

Teams of people camp out at the relay site and take turns running or walking around a track.

Each team is expected to have a member on the track at all times.

Despite repeated attempts to get Six to affirm his return to Putnam because it was the best club in the valley; he maintained that the transfer actually was a matter of convenience. George and spouse Jennifer live in Hurri-

A 1971 graduate of West Virginia University with a bachelor of science in electrical engineering, Six is now retired from AEP and all other endeavors except community leadership service in Rotary -- marking 37 years of continuous "service above self."

Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

There was a day when American anglers fished for American fish with American-made reels, American made lures, Americanmade fishing line and drove to the stream in – you guessed it – American-made cars.

Today, however, it seems virtu-

ally every fishing rod has a “made in China” reel on the end of it.

Americans have had an innate desire to fish since prehistoric times and the European settlers brought their own fishing traditions with them when they arrived on America's shores.

Americans have designed some of the world's most innovative lures, some of them rivaled only

by Finland's Lauri Rapala.

There was a time when America's factories churned out millions of reels. Those days are over and it's nobody's fault but our own. As a society, we crave goods that are cheap, even if they are disposable instead of more expensive things made here that are meant to last a lifetime. People want $15 reels. The only way you can make a $15 is to make it in China. That's the reality of it.

Of those millions of Americanmade reels, many are in landfills, but others are stored away in garages, basements and attics.

Fishing report Beech Fork: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. 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 begin to enter the nesting season. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can be caught using white lures. Anglers should call the Beech Fork Corps of Engineers office at (304) 525-4831 for more information.

East Lynn: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. 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 are beginning to spawn so fishing may be slower than usual. 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. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at 304849-9861.

Stephens Lake: Lake is very clear.

To improve the odds of catchingfish, use light line, cast far, reduce noise, fish quietly and carefully. Bass anglers are successful using soft plastics and small crankbaits. Livers and nightcrawlers work well for catfish bait, as do a variety of paste and prepared type baits offered at sporting goods stores.

Lower Ohio and Kanawha rivers: As the water in the tailwaters begins to clear the fishing for sauger, walleye, white bass and hybrid striped bass will start to pick up. Jigs with minnows could provide some excellent catches; if artificial baits are your preference white and chartreuse are good colors to try. Blue, flathead and channel catfish activity is picking up as the water continues to warm.This is an excellent time to fish Ohio River tailwaters. Anglers fishing below the Belleville dam are catching white bass, hybrid striped bass and a few other species. Lead headed jigs with twister tails (white or chartreuses), which are fished along the bottom, are the lure of choice. Clever anglers are tipping their jig hooks with minnows. Fishing for white bass can be quite good this time of year and medium-sized white spinners work well. Hybrid striped bass are being caught on the surface, and agitator bobbers and large surface plugs work well for these top water feeders. Best spots to fish these areas include eddies and back-current sections, and anywhere that river flows are unusual. Fishing along the Willow Island tailwaters is restricted due to hydro-power development.

Anglers now have access only to a point approximately 150 yards below the dam and flows have changed significantly.

Also along the Ohio River this

You can still buy those – they often make their way to flea markets, yard sales and Ebay. Many of them can be brought back to life with a little cleaning, grease and oil.

My main fishing reel is such a reel, I bought it on Ebay about 10 years ago. It's a Pleuger Medalist single-action fly reel that was made in Akron, Ohio during the 1940s. I try to take good care of it – I clean it and keep it greased, but it takes quite a few knocks in the field. Yet, this 70-year-old reel has never let me down. I don't care how much it cost when it was new, whatever it was, it was worth it when you divide that cost over seven decades of fishing.

If you're looking for an American-made reel, you can still buy them. I don't know of any spinfishing reels still made here – if you do, please let me know – but there are a few flyfishing reels.

The ones I know of are George

Gehrke's Grand American, McNeese Reels and Sage Reels. If you are looking for rods, you have to look no farther than Kanawha County for Phil Smith's Vandalia Rod Works. Newell makes saltwater reels in the U.S., although I think the factory is shut down right now for retooling.

As for other tackle, you can find many products made in America, even at Wal-mart. I was shocked a few years back when I bought a Plano tacklebox there and saw a weird inscription on it - “Made in America.”

Today the Erie Dearie is the top-selling walleye lure in the United States and the lure is quite productive for other fish as well. The Erie Dearie still sells at a price competitive with those of Asian imports. Best of all, it’s still made in America. RDLM LLC, the company that owns Eerie Dearie, also owns Carlson tackle, maker of some well-known lures,

such as Mr. Wiggly. Virtually everything the company offers, with a couple of exceptions (one is the snag-free sinker), is made in the United States.

STREN FISHING LINE IS STILL MADE IN AMERICA. IT WAS, AS OF ABOUT 10 YEARS, ACTUALLY MADE IN WEST VIRGINIA AT THE DUPONT WASHINGTON WORKS PLANTS – ALTHOUGH I THINK IT IS MADE SOMEPLACE ELSE NOW. There are several companies who still make lures in the United States, including Mann's Bait Company and Voyager Tackle.

Don't forget your own creations.

I tie flies and make spinners at home, which is, of course, in America. Joe's Flies – you'll even see those at Wal-Mart – are made in West Virginia.

"Made in America" still means something. At least it does to me.

Applications being accepted for Green Bank Observatory Hunt

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory is now accepting applications for a special controlled deer hunt at the Green Bank site in Pocahontas County this fall.

The hunt is organized in cooperation with the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources and is open to West Virginia residents only.

The two-day hunt is scheduled for October 19 and 20. Applicants will enter a drawing to hunt one or both days and must choose whether they want to hunt with a bow, muzzleloader or shotgun with slugs when they apply. Successful applicants will be notified by mail.

The hunt will take place on four areas of the Green Bank site – which range in size from 132 acres to 1,000 acres and each area is designated for a specific type of hunting weapon.

The maximum bag limit is one antlerless deer per day – although

an on-site lottery will be held each day of the hunt allowing five hunters to bag a deer of either sex.

Deer harvested during the hunt do not count toward the hunters' annual deer limit. All hunters must be licensed with a class A, AH, AHJ, X, XJ, or lifetime license or be exempt from having to purchase a license. All deer harvested must be checked in at the official gamechecking site at the observatory.

Gasoline-powered vehicles – whose ignition systems create a great deal of radio interference – must be parked in designated areas only. The radio telescopes are very sensitive to radio interference, even flying squirrels – which had been tagged with tiny radio transmitters by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have caused problems in the past.

Al hunters must enter through the hunter check-in area and exit through the game-checking station. However, the observatory will provide transportation to some of the more far-flung areas of the hunt.

The observatory is home of the world's largest fully-steerable radio telescope. The observatory has many other telescopes, among them a 140-foot telescope, three 85-foot telescopes which form the Green Bank Interferometer as well as a 40-foot telescope used by school groups for small-scale research.

Many astronomical discoveries have been made there. Recently, the site had the world's first student discovery of a millisecond pulsar. The star discovered rotates a whopping 324 times a second.

Those interested can pick up applications at any DNR district office, print them from the DNRWeb site at www.wvdnr.gov or request one by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the National Radio Astronomy Observatory at P. O. Box 2, Green Bank, WV 24944, Attention: Hunt Coordinator. Applications also are available through email by sending a request to dwirt@nrao.edu . For information, call (304) 456-2011 or (304) 924-6211.

year, fishing for black bass (largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass) has been excellent. Bass An-

glers are using spinner-baits, rubber worms, jig-and-pig type combos and shad colored crank baits. Large-

mouth are being caught along embayments, and the smallmouth and spots are being taken from the river.
