HURRICANE – A large homecoming crowd turned out in Hurricane Friday night to watch the Redskins defeat the Ripley Vikings by a score of 21-0.

Defense was key on the evening for both teams, as the first quarter featured a number of three-and-out drives and punts by both squads.

The second quarter opened with Ripley deep in its own territory after Hurricane failed to score on a fourth and goal play.

Viking quarterback Jake Martin tossed an interception to Hurricane's Jesse Barker who brought the ball to Ripley's 5-yard line.

Hurricane's Zach Pate punched the ball into the endzone, giving the Redskins a 7-0

Workshop to Discuss Options to Extend Produce Growing Season SUBMITTED ARTICLE WVU Horticulture Specialist, Dr. Lewis Jett, will discuss methods to extend the growing season for WV vegetable and fruit growers.

The meeting will take place at the Mason County Career Center (281 Scenic Drive, Pt. Pleasant; 304-675-3039) on Thursday, October 11th from 7 PM to 9 PM. Farmers and student groups (FFA, 4-H, etc.) who are considering growing produce for the

WV Farm to School Program (F2S) or installing high or low tunnels on their property, should attend this meeting.

Season extension infrastructure can typically allow producers to plant and harvest four to five weeks earlier or later for the average WV growing season.

Dr. Jett will discuss F2S tunnel management considerations for marketing to F2S cafeterias: 1) selecting pest-resistant plants and plant varieties that will grow profitably

($) while supplying our students with nutritious and fresh food, 2) determining high/low tunnel planting and harvesting dates based on demand for the school calendar year, and 3) examining storage and handling considerations for produce supplied to F2S programs.

Please RSVP for space considerations by calling the WVU ExOffice: Rodney tension Wallbrown at (304) 675-0888 or Chuck Talbott at (304) 5860217.

Buffalo Octoberfest 2012 25th Year and Still Growing!

SUBMITTED ARTICLE Town of Buffalo, WV (Putnam County) - Home Of Toyota Motor Manufacturing of WV (TMMWV) It was 25 years ago when the Buffalo Octoberfest began as a small community event on the grounds of what once was the largest general store this side of the Mississippi River.

Everything changed when the event took the motto: “If you build it, they will come”…and, it’s growing! With little to no funding, only determination to get the word out to the area and region, this once small festival has been able to report approximately 150 venders who now show up to sell their goods or fundraise for their

organizations. It has been a winning event for everyone because the festival doesn’t charge booth space fees, admission or parking fees.

This has meant an event that is affordable for families, seniors and others to attend and enjoy the day without a great cost.

Many of the food venders are churches and groups which prepare a variety of home-style food at a reasonable cost. There is also a variety of musical and performance entertainment all day at no cost. This year the S.T.A.R.S. Family Fun Fest will join in the fest with at least a two hour event for kids and teens that will offer the use of approximately 15 inflat-

able games and activities - all free! This possible, due to donations from corporate sponsors! In addition for kids and others there will be pony rides, a petting zoo, buggy rides and educational living history enactors, one to offer “buffalo” meat tasting… this event IS in Buffalo! This festival truly has something for everyone!

Some have said attendance has reached upwards to 5,000. The new motto is: “The 25th Year…and, Still Growing!” Come join one of the last outdoor festivals of 2012, to take place Saturday, October 20th, in Buffalo (Putnam) from 9a – 5p. For information or free space: 304-9372747.

Three more area residents sentenced in AEP Scam STAFF REPORT CHARLESTON - Two defendants have been sentenced to federal prison for submitting fraudulent claims for power surge damage to American Electric Power Service Corporation, Inc. ("AEP").

Mark Ingram, 42, of Nitro, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison and Karen Hodges, 32, also of Nitro, was sentenced to one year and one day in prison.

A third defendant, Crystal Ingram, 32, of Nitro, was sentenced to five years’ probation and eight months of home confinement as a condition of her probation.

The defendants admitted that they conspired with former AEP property damage claims adjuster Deborah Farmer, 47, to unlaw-

fully obtain money from AEP by submitting fraudulent claims for power surge damage.

A two-year investigation revealed that false claims were filed with AEP related to power surge damage to homes.

Mr. Ingram and Mrs. Ingram each admitted that they joined the conspiracy to commit mail fraud when they filed fraudulent claims and received the fraudulent checks through the mail.

The defendants then cashed the checks, took a portion of the payoff and gave the remaining proceeds back to Ms. Farmer or other defendants.

Claims checks, ranging from $2,000 to as much as $25,000 per fraudulent claim, were mailed to several known individuals, including Hodges, at various times

between March 2009 and March 2010.

Farmer was sentenced to three years in prison in August.

A total of 57 fraudulent claims were filed resulting in a loss to AEP of approximately $598,485.

The Court ordered Mark Ingram to pay $52,792 in restitution; Crystal Ingram to pay $69,966 in restitution; and Karen Hodges to pay $37,099 in restitution.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), United States Postal Inspection Service and West Virginia State Police handled the investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Erik S. Goes handled the prosecution.

The sentences were imposed

by United States District Judge John T. Copenhaver, Jr.

Marvin My Dad had a friend named Marvin, and when we were growing up he would come to our house.

Marvin was good to us kids and we liked him a lot. He made the best spaghetti you ever tasted. He would go to the store and buy all the ingredients, ground beef, onions, green peppers, tomato paste and the spices. It actually took him all day to make the spaghetti. We used to laugh about how slow he was, but he didn’t know we joked about him.

As we grew older we would tell each other “Slower than Marvin”.

Marvin had asthma and he carried an inhaler with him. I don’t think we ever saw him without him saying he was “all choked up”.

Marvin played the banjo, well, he started and stopped, started and stopped. He was a good banjo picker, but he wouldn’t finish the song.

From what I heard Marvin was in the Army. Now I realize in the military you are supposed to move fast, but I don’t think he could move fast if you lit a firecracker under him.

He spent the night sometimes and it took him two hours just to put on his socks and shoes. He walked like he as strolling in a park.

Marvin was a giving person. He would bring us vegetables from his garden.

We lived in Florida for a time and Marvin had relatives there and we saw him in Florida also.

Marvin passed away several years ago, but I still remember him.

Hurricane advertising agency recognized by W.Va. Press Association SUBMITTED REPORT HURRICANE - The Barnes Agency, a Hurricane-based full service advertising, marketing and public relations firm, has recently been recognized by the West Virginia Press Association as winner of both first and second place in the Best Agency category for ads designed in 2011 and placed in both The Times Record and Roane County Reporter on behalf of Roane General Hospital.

“We are very pleased to have received this recognition for our graphic design work,” said Jeffrey M. Barnes, president and CEO of Barnes Agency. “We are best known for our award winning film and video production, so to receive recognition in print design is very pleasing and shows

that we are moving in the right direction with the comprehensive marketing services we provide.”

Both awards were in the Division 3 newspaper category. First place reflected an ad promoting Roane General Hospital’s urgent care services, while the second place ad communicated a New Year’s holiday message on behalf of the hospital.

“I would like to congratulate Barnes Agency for winning yet again in the Best Agency category in this year’s West Virginia Press Association statewide advertising awards,” said Roane General Hospital CEO, Douglas E. Bentz.

“Roane General has been fortunate to receive first class marketing from Barnes Agency, and we could not ask for a better part-

nership to promote the services that our hospital offers.”

The Barnes Agency was notified of the awards by Spencer Newspapers, the company who publishes the newspapers in which the ads were placed.

Spencer Newspaper’s Publisher, David J. Hedges said, “Barnes Agency consistently produces high quality advertising products for their clients, and it shows with award winning results each and every year. We are pleased to help them get Roane General’s message out to the community and look forward to working with them in the future.”

Dollar Energy Fund to HelpThousands CHARLESTON - Dollar Energy Fund began providing utility assistance grants for the 2012-2013 heating season on Monday, October 1st. Limited income households throughout the state will be able to apply for utility assistance for gas, electric and water bills.

"Times are tough for many of our neighbors right now," says Danielle Snidow, Dollar Energy Fund's WV Director. "Many West Virginia senior citizens and families are struggling to make ends meet and just need a little bit of temporary help." Since 2008, Dollar Energy Fund has helped over 17,000 West Virginia households maintain or restore basic gas, electric and water utility service by providing assistance grants applied directly to their utility bills.

"Last year, we helped over 4,000 households restore or maintain utility service. This assistance impacted more than 12,000 adults, seniors and children across the state," added Snidow. "Many of these families were asking for help for the first time due to unemployment or other issues that affected their household budget."

Dollar Energy Fund partners with six utility companies across West Virginia to administer the Hardship Program. The organization is funded by private contributions matched dollar for dollar by utility companies. "Dollar Energy

Fund's success is built from neighbors helping neighbors and we hope those that can, will pitch in to assist people who have made a sincere effort to pay their utility bills, but are truly in need," says Snidow.

The organization's network of over 80 Community Based Organizations began taking Hardship Program applications on October 1st. Applications will continue to be accepted until funds are depleted. A family of four earning up to $34,575 per year is income eligible for the program. To qualify, households must have made a sincere effort of payment on their utility bill in the last 90 days and have a back balance. Full eligibil-

ity guidelines and application instructions can be found at www.dollarenergyfund.org.

Utility customers are able to contribute a dollar or more to the Dollar Energy Fund through their monthly utility bill. Direct donations can also be made online at www.dollarenergyfund.org or by sending a check to Box 3979, Charleston, WV 25339. All donations to the Dollar Energy Fund are tax deductible and will be matched by partnering utility companies.

“REUNIONS and FUNERALS” Thought for the week: Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Proverbs 17:6 (KJV) Many of our family reunions are over for this year, these are usually held in the summer months, all the aunts, cousins and brothers and sisters gather, and feast for a day relating times past and catching up with the present. There is always someone who attended last year that is no longer with us this year.

Maybe you met them at the family funeral, seems like this is the two occasions most families really gather anymore. Most of us have our time planned for us, and time has a way of going faster and faster. People do not visit one another. First you must call to see if they are at home and when is the best time to come by.

When I was growing up my dad and I visited someone most every evening after the supper meal, he had a company truck and he would say “come on, let’s go see how so and so is.” Usually his brothers or sisters or maybe one of the two mom and pop grocery stores, sometimes a neighbor, but we went to check on someone especially if they were not feeling well.

We had a telephone but it was not used for calling ahead to see if they were home. Often we shared a piece of pie or fruit with whomever, in their home, or took something to them, or stopped at the store and bought something we thought they may need.

Family funerals were very quiet with solemn talk, no loudness and just family gathered the day and time of funeral. Today when you walk in the funeral home and stop to listen it sounds like a family reunion without the food, although this is coming soon, a sit down catered dinner after the funeral and I guess this may help in the grieving aspect. As well to say it is a reunion, but the honorary person is no longer able to commune with you.

I read just eleven words that summed up the ending of life “Death is simply putting out a candle, because morning has come.”

Reunions of any kind, family, graduation, retirees, are always enjoyable, you meet, greet and see who has a new grandchild, who married, just catch up on future and past generations.

This helps family’s stay close together with those who gather together.

Prayer: Thank you God that we have family and friends to reunite with no matter what the occasion, for there are those who have no one to call their relatives in this world we pass thru. Amen.

Arts in Action Brings Martial Arts Classes For All Ages!

HURRICANE - Adonai Do (The Way of the Lord), Psalm 144, offers traditional ranking karate classes for children, teens, and adults. Our focus is on the study of karate in a “One HeartWay” Christian atmos-

phere as a means of personal improvement, mental and physical, for each student. The student will advance through registered ranks from beginner through black belt.

Adonai Do also teaches school

children the ABC’S of Bully Defense. This will help the student build character and confidence, as the student will learn proven skills needed to make the correct choices when confronted by a bully, learn to identify a bully by their looks, actions and speech, and learn who might be a victim of a bully and why. Students of the program reap numerous benefits of a martial arts program including higher self-esteem, confidence, focus, awareness, discipline, kindness, self-respect and respect for authority, and self-defense with power under control.

Instructor Sensei DoyleWilheim holds five black belts in traditional Okinawa and Japanese karate. He has been studying karate for over

40 years. Sensei Doyle was awarded rank and title as a master teacher, and inducted into the Washi-Kai Black Belt Hall of Fame.

His summary of the beginning month of classes was as follows: "The children in my karate class amaze me with their young intellects and ability to learn. Just three weeks at Arts in Action and they are beginning to speak Japanese, practicing three opening salutations, multi-kicking and striking techniques, blocking drills, selfdefense bag work, and conversations about how to handle bullies the wrong way and the correct way." Wilheim's focus is on retention; dynamic movement with high energy level, moving quickly in and out of activities with team-

work as the key that leads to mastery.

In addition to Karate, Arts in Action also provides education in the form of dance cheerleading, drama, art, percussion, piano and voice and is also home to the Appalachian Children’s Chorus. Arts in Action continues to help children and young adults not only learn new skills, but to also reap the numerous benefits of higher self-esteem, improved academic achievement and discipline, to name a few. “At Arts in Action we are passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of our students through the arts” stated Cookie Samworth, Artistic Director of MasterPiece Dance. “The benefits of these skills and a background in the arts will follow a child into adulthood.” Stated Joni Cantrell, Founding Director of Arts in Action, who has been teaching for 32 years.

“Applying for a West Virginia Civil War Medal” to be Topic of Discussion for Genealogy Lecture Oct. 11 at the Culture Center CHARLESTON – Greg Carroll, staff historian for the West Virginia Archives and History section, will present “Applying for a West Virginia Civil War Medal” on Thursday, Oct. 11, in the Archives and History Library at the Culture Center, State Capitol Complex in Charleston. The 6 p.m. program is free and open to the public.

Carroll will explain the origin of Civil War medals and how they were authorized by the state legislature in 1866 as “tokens of re-

spect” for Union veterans of West Virginia military units.

Many were unclaimed, and eventually they were turned over to archives and history, which began a program to distribute the remaining medals to descendants who file a properly documented line of descent from the veteran to themselves.

Carroll holds a bachelor’s degree from Marshall University.

He has worked for the West Virginia Division of Culture and History in the archives and his-

tory section for more than 23 years. While there he has compiled 20 years working with Civil War medal claims.

For planning purposes, participants are encouraged to register for the program, but advance registration is not required to attend. To register in advance, contact Robert Taylor, library manager, by e-mail at bobby.l.taylor@wv.gov or at (304) 558-0230, ext. 163. Participants interested in registering by email should send their name,

telephone number and the name and date of the session. For additional information, contact the Archives and History Library at (304) 558-0230. The Archives and History Library is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday. The library is closed on Sunday.

The West Virginia Division of Culture and History is an agency within the West Virginia Department of Education and the Arts

with Kay Goodwin, Cabinet Secretary. The Division, led by Commissioner Randall Reid-Smith, brings together the past, present and future through programs and services focusing on archives and history, arts, historic preservation and museums.

Fall forest fire season started Monday, Oct. 1, 2012 CHARLESTON — The West Virginia Division of Forestry reminds residents that the state’s fall forest fire season started on Oct. 1, 2012, and runs through Dec. 31, 2012. During these three months, daytime burning is prohibited from the hours of 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Outdoor burning is permitted only between the hours of 5 p.m. and 7 a.m.

State law requires a ring or safety strip around outdoor fires to keep the fire from spreading into the woods. This safety strip must be cleared of all burnable material and be at least 10 feet

wide completely around the debris pile.

Additional requirements of the state’s fire laws include staying on-site until the fire is completely extinguished, and only burning vegetative materials like leaves, brush and yard clippings.

If you allow a fire you have started to escape and it causes a wildfire or forest fire, you will be subject to fines ranging from $100 to $1,000. An additional civil penalty of $200 also will be assessed against you.

The Division of Forestry offers these tips for safe outdoor burn-

ing: •Burn only after 5 p.m. — it’s the law — and put your fire out completely by 7 a.m.

•Put debris in several small piles instead of one large one •Never burn on dry, windy days •Select a safe place away from overhead power lines, phone lines or other obstructions and where the fire cannot spread into the woods or weedy or brushy areas •Clear at least a 10-foot area around the fire and make sure the area is clear of all burnable

material •Have water and tools on hand to extinguish anything that may escape the burn area •Be conscientious of neighbors and don’t burn debris that produces a lot of smoke at times when smoke does not rise. If the smoke spreads out near the ground instead of rising, put out the fire and burn another time.

•Stay with the fire at all times until it is completely out. Leaving a fire unattended for any length of time is illegal.

•Call 911 immediately if a fire does escape

Commercial burning permits may be obtained by public utilities and people burning in conjunction with commercial, manufacturing, mining or like activities. These burning permits cost $125 each and are issued by local Division of Forestry offices.

A permit is required for each site where this type of burning takes place.

To find out more about West Virginia’s burning laws and where you can obtain a burning permit, visit the Division of Forestry’s website at www.wvforestry.com.

West Virginia’s Deer, Bear and Wild Boar Archery Seasons Open SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV – West Virginia’s 2012 archery seasons for deer and bear opened on September 29, and the wild boar archery season opens on October 13. While the wild boar and traditional deer archery seasons remain about the same as last year, the bear archery season began earlier and closes later. In addition to an earlier opening date, the bear archery season is now a split season that runs from September 29 through November 17 and December 3 through December 31.

“The state’s expanding bear population can sustain additional archery hunting opportunities,” said Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the Wildlife Resources Section of the Division of Natural Resources. “As a result, we have established an earlier opening date and added a new December segment to the season framework.”

Hunters are reminded they

need appropriate stamps if they wish to harvest additional deer during the archery season. One or two additional archery deer may be taken with Class RB (Resident) or Class RRB (Nonresident) stamps (one deer per stamp), depending on the county being hunted. (Check the 2012 – 2013 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary for details.)

Hunters should also note that in 10 counties or portions thereof they must take an antlerless archery deer prior to harvesting a second antlered deer during the archery deer season. The additional archery stamps (Class RB and Class RRB) had to be purchased prior to the September 29 season opening date.

Special regulations exist for the four archery-only deer hunting counties: Logan, McDowell, Mingo and Wyoming. In these counties, only two archery deer

may be taken, one of which must be antlerless.

In all counties, legal resident landowners hunting on their own property and holders of Class DT (Life-threatening Conditions) licenses may use Class RB/RRB stamp privileges without stamp purchase.

In addition to a base license, bear hunters must purchase a Bear Damage Stamp (Class DS) to hunt bear in West Virginia. Two

bear may be taken during the archery or the gun season (or one each in the archery and gun seasons) provided at least one bear is taken in Boone, Fayette, Kanawha, Logan, McDowell, Mingo, Raleigh or Wyoming counties. Other than the Class DS stamp, no additional stamps are needed to harvest the second bear.

Wild boar hunting is for West Virginia residents only. One wild boar may be harvested per year

(either during the archery or gun season). Only Boone, Logan, Raleigh and Wyoming counties are open to boar archery and firearm seasons.

For complete information, hunters should consult the 2012 2013 West Virginia Hunting and Trapping Regulations Summary available at any WVDNR office, license agents, or by visiting the WVDNR website at www.wvdnr.gov.

This year St. Francis School, always a leader in education, has added the highly acclaimed Think Through Math software for students in grades 2nd-5th. This supplemental math program provides opportunities for students to review, practice and accelerate math skills. Students are able to use the software both in school and at home. This new software will enhance an already stellar math program. “At St. Francis we encourage hard work and we get results,” said principal, Erin Sikora. “St. Francis students scored in the top 21 percent of students across the United States on the April, 2012 TerraNova standardized test, and I am so proud of our students and teachers.”

Additionally, St. Francis was selected to be a pilot school for the National Common Core standards. As such, St. Francis will implement the new standards in all grades this year. The new standards broaden the subject areas and incorporate new teaching resources.

“We are excited to lead the introduction of these standards, and be able to assist other schools as they transition next year, said Sikora.”

Children of all faiths attend St. Francis School, which is located on Holley Street in St. Albans. For information check the website at www.sfswv.com.

(Left) Putnam Rotary Club member Leslee Shaffer gives pointers to students on the use of a thesaurus. The Rotary Club recently gave a copy of a thesaurus to every county sixth grader.

TEAYS VALLEY - For the sixth year in a row, the Putnam Rotary Club has distributed thesauruses to county sixth graders through the National Dictionary Project.

The reference books are supplied through the national program at a reduced cost to the local Rotary Club.

A thesaurus is a dictionary of words of similar meanings used to help with composition, to help find the best ways to express an idea.

The Rotary Club had wanted to provide students with dictionaries, but local students already had their own personal dictionaries.

Putnam Rotary Club President Tina McComas has said that the books help students build their vocabulary.

"We believe our local support for this project contributes to the top test scores our students have earned year after year," she said.

Rotary Club members distributed the books to George Washington Middle School students on Sept. 13, Poca Middle School students on Sept. 18, Winfield Middle School students on Sept. 25 and Hurricane Middle School students on Sept. 27.

About 4,000 of the books have gone to Putnam students since the local Rotary Club became involved.

Since the National Dictionary Project began in 1995, over 17 million children have received the dictionaries.

Candle Lighting Service set for October 16 WINFIELD – There will be a Domestic Violence Candle Lighting Service on Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m. at the Putnam County courthouse.

This service is being held to raise awareness of and to honor victims of domestic violence.

Refreshments will be provided by Little Life Preschool and Daycare and Rock-A-Bye Baby Inc. The service is being sponsored by the Branches Domestic Violence Shelter and the Putnam County Prosecuting Attorney Victim Services office.

WV Pumpkin Festival

The Wall that Heals, a half-size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington D.C., was featured at this year's Pumpkin Festival.

We want to hear from you!

Some more pumpkins from area school children were able to show off their pumpkin decorating skills at the 27th annual West Virginia Pumpkin Festival this past weekend in Milton. where visitors could learn more about that time in our nation's history from well versed re-enactors in period dress.

Visitors were also invited to take in a variety of entertainment options during the Pumpkin Festival.

Zappo the Clown performed a magic show for children multiple times throughout the four days of the Festival. Likewise, DJ and Karaoke provided an enjoyable show throughout the Festival.

Other acts, like Jabberwocky, Ashton Ernst, Exile and Jericho entertained the crowds as featured acts inside the large Pumpkin Park Music Hall. Cabell Midland's own Rhythm in Red show choir even took a turn entertaining the Festival crowd on Saturday.

In the midst of all of the fun activities at the Festival, one display that was new to the event this year allowed fairgoers a chance for silent reflection and remembrance.

New to the Festival this year

was The Wall that Heals - a halfscale replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial inWashington, D.C. The Wall that Heals was created in 1996 and travels the country spreading the word about the Memorial's healing legacy. The wall is approximately 250 feet in length and made a nice addition to the Festival this year.

Accompanying the Wall that Heals was a mobile museum inside of a large trailer. The exterior walls of the trailer were open and displayed photos of service members whose names are found on the wall, along with letters and other mementos left at the Wall in Washington, D.C. The mobile museum also included a map of Vietnam and a chronological overview of the conflict in Vietnam.

The Wall that Heals also featured an Information Center where visitors to the Festival could ask for help in locating names on the Wall.

Flying above the Wall the Heals

on the hillside of Pumpkin Park was a display of several dozen American Flags – a smaller version of the recent Healing Fields flag display at Spring Hill Cemetery in Huntington.

The sea of red white and blue made a fitting backdrop to the Wall that Heals.

Also on display throughout the four day Pumpkin Festival were more than 90 local vendors selling a variety of products from edible treats to ornate wrought iron yard sculptures.

And of course, with an election coming up in November, local and state political candidates were also well represented throughout the Festival.

Even though the 27th annual West Virginia Pumpkin Festival wrapped up on Sunday, planning for the 28th annual event is already underway. For more information, visit www.wvpumpkinpark.com.

Fishing in the Election

David Payne Sr.

Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com

Continued from last week, here's a look at some of the questions Keep America Fishing asked the presidential candidates: For Mitt Romney: “When you were Governor of Massachusetts you proposed diverting hunting and fishing license fees to other programs, then reconsidered after anglers and hunters and angler/hunter groups expressed opposition.

Why did you make that proposal and what did you learn from the

experience that caused you to withdraw it?

Romney replied: “When I was elected governor of Massachusetts there was a $3 million budget deficit, and I went to work examining every agency and program to close that gap. I was determined to get my state back on strong fiscal footing. I reconsidered the decision to divert license fees after I received input from local stakeholders, both anglers and others, who expressed to me why this decision should be reconsidered.

Once I understood what this diversion of funds will do, I reversed course and found another way to leave my state with a $2 million rainy day fund when I left office.

This is the same attitude I will bring to the presidency. I have a plan to get this economy back on track, but I also understand the importance of hearing out state and local agencies and fishermen themselves when these types of decisions are made.”

For Obama: “As President you initiated a new national ocean policy that anglers fear poses serious questions about the future of recreational access to our nation's waters. In your second term what

plans do you have for that policy initiative, and can you provide assurance that large areas of public waters will not be unnecessarily closed through this policy?”

Obama responded: “By establishing a National Ocean Policy, I made it a priority of the federal government to ensure a proactive approach to improving the conservation of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes. We are developing regional plans that bring the states together with regional stakeholders to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to enjoy this shared resource and residents in each region can tailor its management to suit their local needs. This policy cuts away red tape and redundancy to best serve the local communities that depend on our oceans and waters.

Some claim that this kind of planning is intended to deprive fishermen of access to our ocean waters. Nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, our goal is to allow all users of the ocean – including recreational fishermen – have a voice in how our ocean waters are managed.”

Romney was looking at a lot of options because his state was

Outdoors Roundup St. Albans man catches two state-record fish in one day Most anglers go their entire lives without catching a state record fish, but a St. Albans man caught two in one day and actually wrested one record away from himself.

As remarkable as it seems, Mark Foster of St. Albans caught two record fish – a blue catfish and a longnose gar on the same day of Ohio River fishing. Foster caught the 43.9-inch, 44.5-pound blue catfish from the Ohio River while using cut bait. It establishes a new West Virginia record for both length and weight.

Here's where it gets really interesting – the weight record this blue catfish broke was from a fish Foster himself caught in 2011. The previous length record was a 42.25-inch blue catfish caught by Lynn Lange in 2009.

If that wasn't interesting enough, he caught another state record fish that day, a lengthrecord-tying longnose gar – also caught on cut bait. He caught a

52.25-inch, 15-pound longnose gar that ties the current length record held by Shelby Searls. Foster caught the gar on the same day from the Ohio River using cut bait.

Outdoors radio show for early birds Because of my day job, I get up early and am often on the road around 6:30 a.m. There is a great outdoors radio show on 650 AM, WSM, Nashville, at 6:25 a.m.

The show is ten minutes long, but always packed with some great hunting and fishing musings and information. It is hosted byWSM's Bill Cody and Joey Monteleone. As far as I can gather, Monteleone hunts and fishes for a living (he's a guide) and he has some great tips.

It takes some really unique tips to catch my interest, which he does.

One morning last week, he was talking about if you are hunting in oaks and acorns were scarce, you could drop pebbles from your treestand to mimic the sound of acorns falling to maybe bring some deer in.

If you think you can't pick up a

radio station in Nashville, you're wrong. AM radio waves travel great distances from a little after dusk until a little after dawn. Because it's been around since the 1920s, WSM still has one of the old 50,000-watt licenses and is one of only a few dozen stations in the country that can operate with that kind of power. WWVA 1170 in Wheeling is another. You can also listen to it online at www.wsmonline.com.

If you can't get up that early, there's always Chris Lawrence's Outdoors Today spot on WCHS 580 AM, which is syndicated on some other radio stations in the state. He has a nice long show on Saturday mornings, but the daily spot is about a minute long.

Fall Trout Stockings slated: The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources will be stocking 25 streams and eight lakes during the weeks of Oct. 8 and Oct. 15.

Approximately 39,000 pounds of trout will be stocked. Brood trout will make up about 20 percent of the total poundage.

broke and considered diverting license fees. A part of me is somewhat angered by the mere consideration of that, because it is a break from the sacred bond of license fees. We let the government charge those fees because of the good that money would do – and it has done wonderful things. But I do know, when you run a business, you look at every single option until you find a really good one.

As for Obama - last week, I managed somehow to stay neutral. I can't today because I'm too fired up. Obama's national ocean policy makes no distinction between commercial fishing and sport fishing and gives Obama Stalin-like power to shut down fishing anywhere on the oceans or the Great Lakes.

It gives the executive branch power, like a god of the waters, to say who can and who cannot do what on America's waterways.

The American concept of the outdoors is unique – that the animals of the forest and the fish in the water belong to each and every one of us. These decisions of management should be dealt with by the states or Congress if there is a problem that warrants action.

This is power the founding fathers warned us about. This isn't a power Congress, the people, or the Constitution gives him. He just made it up. That's what an executive order like this is – a president just says “I have this power.”

I never trust anybody wanting absolute power who says “trust me. I'll ask you before I use it,” which is a translation of what Obama says in his gobblygook answer above.

He also says it was designed to cut red tape.

The ocean policy includes: a 27member National Ocean Council; an 18-member Governance Coordinating Committee; and 9 Regional Planning Bodies. There are 9 National Priority Objectives; 9 Strategic Action Plans; 7 National Goals for Coastal Marine Spatial Planning; and 12 Guiding Principles for Coastal Marine Spatial Planning.

If that isn't red tape, I don't know what red tape is.

2012 Fall Trout Stockings begin October 9 in W.Va SOUTH CHARLESTON – The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources 2012 fall trout stocking will take place during the weeks of October 8 and 15, according to Curtis I. Taylor, Chief of the DNR Wildlife Resources Section. Approximately 39,000 pounds of trout will be stocked during the two-week period in 25 streams and eight lakes as indicated in the 2012 Fishing Regulations booklet.

Brood trout will make up about 20 percent of the total poundage.

“Although stream flows in many areas of the state are lower than last year, we should still be able to get the trout spread out pretty well,” said Taylor.

All waters will be stocked each week during the two-week period, with two exceptions: · The Monongahela National Forest will begin temporary closure of FR 86, the Williams River Road, on October 9, 2012. Accord-

ing to the Forest Service, the closure will occur between Tea Creek Campground and Three Forks, and is necessary to repair road damage caused by high water and heavy rains during the past couple years. The full description of the closure can be found at: www.fs.usda.gov/detail/mnf/new s-events/?cid=STELPRDB5392080 · New Creek Dam 14 will not be stocked this fall because of ongoing repairs that required the lake to be drained. Work should be completed this fall and the lake filled for the 2013 stocking season.

Without additional rainfall over the next couple weeks, flows are likely to be low and clear, and anglers will have to use their best angling skills to be successful.

Anglers can call the Fishing Hotline at 304-558-3399 or visit the DNR website at www.wvdnr.gov to find out which streams and lakes have been stocked each day.

JAMES S. DAVIS II On Monday, September 24, 2012, at 7:03 a.m., James S. Davis II, of Cambridge, Ohio, began his longawaited journey home to the Lord.

Mr. Davis was born January 1, 1953, at three minutes past midnight, and was 59 years old. His journey through life started by missing all the presents at birth, as he was not the first baby born of the year in Charleston. From that point on his life had highs and lows which tested his faith and, in some cases, sounded like a story worthy of a novel.

James graduated from Charleston High School and was honored to be a part of the football team which won three straight State AAA Championships. He turned down a scholarship to play football at a distant college. He found his athletic talents reemerge in judo, obtaining the rank of second degree black belt and winning four straight Heavyweight State Championships from 19791982 and coaching several more state champion children and adults.

In 1982, he was invited to train in Colorado Springs at the Olympic training facility for 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. He turned it down and, in later years, regretted what might have been. In his employment history, Jim worked as a manager for Heck's and, when they went out of business, teamed up with Olan Mills Church division, taking photos of many families for the church directories. His last and most rewarding career started when he found a passion for helping people hear. Jim opened and operated Clear Hearing Gallery as a National Board Certified audioprosthologist.

Jim leaves his loving, supportive wife of 27 years, Elaine Kay (Boals) Davis; and his two children, of whom he was extremely proud, Nicholas James and Katherine Ann Davis. The newest addition to the family was a granddaughter, Brianna Lynn Davis, who Jim was already trying to figure out what

The Putnam Standard sport she would excel in; his mother, Sally Neale of Scott Depot; father, James S. (Jane) Davis of Palestine, Texas; and a sister, Betty (John) Whiteley of Scott Depot.

Services were held Friday, September 28 at Bundy-Law Funeral Home, Cambridge, with Pastor Greg Kasler officiating.

WVSU Extension Service Seeks Coffee Drinkers and Mushroom Eaters Learn to grow mushrooms using coffee grounds at WVSU Extension Service workshop INSTITUTE – West Virginia State University Extension Service is seeking coffee drinkers and mushroom eaters for a one-day workshop on growing oyster mushrooms in used coffee grounds. The workshop will take place at the Rock Lake Community Life Center in South Charleston Thursday, Oct. 25, from 10 a.m. until noon.

Oyster mushrooms are among the most commonly cultivated and widely eaten mushrooms in the world. “They are a great source of protein,” says Brad Cochran, WVSU extension associate, “and can be easily grown entirely with used coffee grounds.”

The workshop will illustrate the method for growing mushrooms in coffee grounds and offers a unique option for recycling something commonly discarded after use.

“Used grounds still have residual nutrients,” says Cocrhan.

“They hold moisture well, which provides a solid environment in which mushrooms and other fungi can grow.”

Attendees will receive a kit containing everything needed to begin growing mushrooms at home. Registration is required, along with a $30 fee to cover the

this past Friday night 35-18 to bring their season record to 2-4.

BUFFALO – Even though it was an early October game, Friday night's 23-21 victory by Buffalo High School over visiting Wirt County already had a playoff feel.

Both schools entered the game in a position to qualify for the postseason playoffs, with the Bison sporting a No. 12 ranking while the Wirt County Tigers entered as the No. 8 ranked team in Class A. Buffalo struck first on the evening as quarterback Levi Jordan connected with Isaiah Robinson for a 21 yard touchdown pass.

The Tigers answered with a 64yard touchdown drive of their own, and then took the lead when

Buffalo fumbled the ball on its next possession.

But the Bison recovered, led by a 29-yard touchdown run by Bubba Legg, and then a 36-yard field goal by Jordan right before halftime.

On the evening, Jordan completed 8 of 17 passes for 115 yards and a touchdown. Legg carried the ball 10 times for 81 yards.

With the victory, Buffalo goes to 5-1 on the season.

After three straight home games, Buffalo goes on the road this week to face Calhoun County.

The Bison will play at Calhoun County at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Poca falls to Webster County 34-24 The Poca Dots lost on the road Friday night at Webster County by a score of 34-24.

With the loss, Poca drops to 2-5

on the season.

Cabell Midland rolls over Winfield 63-0 ONA – Cabell Midland, the top ranked team in Class AAA, used a high powered running game to defeat the visitingWinfield Generals 63-0 Friday night in Ona. Former Winfield running back David Gaydosz scored six touchdowns for Cabell Midland as he and fellow running back Lowell Farley both rushed for more than 100 yards on the evening.

Winfield was only able to net 24 yards of total offense on the evening, coming largely on the arm of quarterback Toby Show who completed 6 of 17 passes.

With the loss, the Generals fall to 2-5 on the season.

Winfield is off this week. The Generals will play their next game on Oct. 19 against Nitro High School at Nitro.
