“GOD’S SEASONS”

Thought for the week: To everything there is a season, and atime to every purpose under the heaven. ECCLESIASTES 3; 1 (KJV)

The morning air is fresh, as a heavy fog like light smoke, rises tomeet a new fall day. Looking up at the heavenly blue sky, theclouds pass in front of the sun, while it casts a magical shadowsweeping over fields and hills of colored trees, from light to dark tolight again. Like a movie scene setting the right light—God is thedirector and producer this day of His own scene on earth, and weare His actors.

I like to write about nature, maybe because of its constantchange of seasons and weather, the fall seasons are always mostbeautiful with its vibrant colors. God paints His world this timeof year with spectacular hues, so many, not yet named by man

He owns a pallet of unlimited colors, just like His created hu-mans, each with different personalities, such as the leaves no twoare alike.

We are similar - a tree grows (child) flourishes with leaves ofgreen (youth) spreads its branches (adult) then grows taller, widerand stately (senior).

When the leaves peak to their final color, they wave and floatgently down to meet mother earth, saying one last goodbye for theseason...

Such as humans, a new sprig of tree may come up (new genera-tion) as the old tree may have died of disease. A leaf has life blow-ing and waving thru the winds and rain, storms of snow, days ofwarm sunshine, like our human span, then saying goodbye to allits living surroundings. As humans, we also live our lives thru sea-sons of time and years.

My husband used to tease and tell the children, God originallycreated the world and all its contents in black and white, just likethe first televisions and then He discovered color. They, with wideeyed wonder believed him until he told them differently.

God’s plan of seasons is something to ponder, a definite time forbelieving.

Today would be a good day to take a walk and admire His hand-iwork, or make a call, or send a card to let someone know youcared and was thinking of them, when you make Gods day, youcan be sure He will make yours.

God is still in control and all is well with the world...Prayer: Father in heaven, thank you for all the beautiful sea-

sons and how you planned our world, as each season changes, itholds a new and different memory... Amen.

Popcorn

I like to eat popcorn and when I think of popcorn, I think of myGrandma Carpenter who lived on Buzzard Creek.

I would spend time with her and my aunt Claudia in the summerand we had so much fun.We would wake up in the mornings and theair would be so cool and fresh.

My Grandma had no air conditioning but there were trees aroundthe house.

The front room, or the living room, was where we sat in theevenings. If it was really hot, we would sit outside.

My aunt, who is only two years older than I, would play with ourdolls and have pretend houses. We had pretend husbands and kids.We had a blast.

My Grandma had a TV and we would sit in the front room andwatch Petticoat Junction, The Beverly Hillbillies, Andy Griffith, andyes - Gusnmoke.

As we got older, we would watch The Chiller Theater which cameon Channel 13. We got such a scare out of that. Scary movies thesedays make Chiller mild, compared to them.

Of all the things I liked most about staying with my Grandma, washer popcorn.

She made the old fashioned popcorn with the oil. She had a kettlewhich she only used for popping corn. She would get the oil reallyhot, then she put in the corn. In just a few seconds the corn wouldstart popping. Her lid had holes in the top to let out the steam. Shewould pop and pop the corn until we had a big aluminum dishpanfull!

We would sit and eat the popcorn until it was gone and theTV showwas off the air.

I had a hard time staying awake all night, but I knew we could sleepin the next morning.

My Grandma has since passed way and I had her popcorn kettle inmy cabinet, but every time I looked at it I would start to cry - so Igave it to my Mom to keep for me.

The memories I have of Buzzard Creek will stay with me forever,especially the popcorn.

Do kids know how to pop old fashioned popcorn? I guess we areall spoiled to the microwave.

WINFIELD -The issue of watermain extensions dominated theflow of the Putnam County Com-mission meeting, Tuesday, Octo-ber 23.

Commissioners have pushedthis project for nearly two years.Its goal is to ultimately have flow-ing water to every resident. Thisgoal starts with a total cost ofmore than $1.8 million to com-plete for the areas of CusterRidge,Trace Fork/Mud River andSigmon Fork. The county is ask-ingWestVirginia AmericanWaterto cover about $116 thousand ofthis price tag.

The rest of the money willneed to be borrowed.

Before the ground is broken orany pipes are installed, applica-tions still need completed, aswell as the approval from thewater company. To gain fundinghelp from West Virginia Ameri-can Water Company, at least 80percent of the residents in thethree areas of the project pro-posal must sign a user agree-ment.

Commissioners heard goodnews Tuesday morning: theyhave the 80 percent they need.

Terradon Corp. representativeJim Nagy told the commissionthat the county has met its goalfor Custer Ridge,Trace Fork, MudRiver and Sigmon Fork.

“We still have some folks whoare hesitant to sign to the agree-

ment,” Nagy said, referring toother areas of the county. “Wehave to have this 80 percentthreshold to move forward.”

Commission President GaryTillis agreed.

“You all are doing all you cando, but we can’t make them allsign it,” he said.

“It’s our goal to get the waterflowing,” Tillis said. “We’re justwaiting on the water company todecide on how much they cancontribute.”

Commissioner Joe Haynes be-lieves West Virginia AmericanWater will aid the county in its ef-forts.

“One thing we have to our ad-vantage is a good relationshipwith the water company,” hesaid.

Nagy agreed, “In my opinion, Ibelieve the water companywants to get involved in this proj-ect, because it’s good for themand good for the community.”

The 1st step for the county isthe completion of the West Vir-ginia Infrastructure and Job De-velopment Council (IJDC)application.

After this, the commission willcontinue speaking with watercompany officials.

“They’re not ready at this pointto commit,” County ManagerBrian Donat said. “But we aregoing to sit down with them andtalk. We all need to agree andhave an understanding.”

Tillis agreed with Donat.“Let’s maybe get the ball

rolling before it gets too late,” hesaid. “We want to get as muchhelp as we can from the watercompany, and we want to showthat we’re doing our part. Wewant the county to know thatwe’re doing all we can to expeditethis and get water flowing tothese homes as quickly as possi-ble.”

Nagy also felt confident thatthe move to push this project for-ward and get the water companyon board was a good one.

“I think we’re going in the rightdirection,” he told commission-ers.

Haynes agreed.“Let’s be proactive,” he said.The commission approved the

proposal to start the IJDC appli-cation process for the project.

“I’d like to see you proceed,”Tillis told Nagy. “We’re wanting agood report back from the watercompany.”

“We’re feeling optimistic,”Donat said.

While not expecting a recordyear by any means, biologists ex-pect this year's deer harvest to beslightly larger than last year's.

Deer reproduction in 2011 wasstrong and herd survival duringthe mild 2011-2012 winter, shouldprovide plenty of adult deer forhunters to harvest. This year'smast production was high, butsomewhat spotty, which is goodnews for hunters. Better than av-erage mast conditions, especiallywithwhite or chestnut oak acorns,typically leads to a decrease in thedeer archery seasons as deer don'thave to move very far (and thusencounter hunters) for food.How-ever, because these conditions arevery spotty, hunters who do somescouting beforehand should enjoysuccess.

The deer archery season has

also been extended by one weekand opened in late September in-stead of the traditional mid-Octo-ber, which should help provide ahigh harvest.

The buck harvest should behigher than last year's. Strongmast production in 2010, coupledwith the mild winter last yearshould provide older, larger bucksfor hunters.The antlerless harvestshould be slightly higher this year.Some counties will also have anincreased bag limits. Hunters insome counties will be required toharvest an antlerless deer beforeharvesting a second buck, whichbiologists hope will increase theantlerless harvest in those coun-ties. The season structure alsochanged in 2012 with a spilt in thetraditional antlerless season tonow include three days in October

and three inmid-December in ad-dition to the concurrent huntingduring the buck gun season andthe late December season. TheOctober season was designed toharvest antlerless deer before therut, thereby putting less stress onbucks, and removing animals be-fore all of the food was consumed.This would leave additional re-sources for the remaining wildlifeand improve the overall health ofthe state's deer herd.

Squirrels: Hickory and oak mastproduction have improved, butconditions are spotty. Huntersshould try hickory as well as whiteand chestnut oaks and avoidbeech and walnut that didn’t farewell this year.

Rabbits: Awetwinter, dry springand wet July have provided excel-lent cover for rabbits to hide, lead-

ing to increased bunny numbersthroughout the state, althoughmuch of it dried up and witheredduring a usually hot and dry Au-gust. Harvest should be about av-erage.

Raccoon: harvest should behigh, especially in areas with goodmast production. Spotty oak pro-duction and good cherry produc-tion will have raccoons scatteredin someareas, but concentrated inothers. An outbreak of distemperin the southern portion of thestate will impact the harvest inthat region.

Turkey: Harvest should be sim-ilar to last year's. Counties with aspring harvest of 0.75 gobblers persquare mile or more qualify for atwo-week fall season (October 13–20 and October 29–November 3).These counties include: Brooke,

Hancock, Marshall, Mason, Ohio,Preston and Wood counties.Counties with a spring harvest of0.5 gobblers per square mile up to0.74 per square mile are eligiblefor a one-week fall season (Octo-ber 13–20). These counties in-clude: Putnam, Cabell, as well asBarbour, Calhoun, Harrison, Jack-son, Marion, Monongalia, Pleas-ants, Summers, Taylor, Tyler,Upshur,Wetzel andWirt counties.

Grouse: A mild winter with anearly and mild spring helpedgrouse survival as well as turkey.Black cherry, dogwood and sas-safras mast are greatly improvedover last year but the spotty con-ditions may concentrate the birdsinto very localized areas.

“I can't tell people to write theircongressman,” said Curtis Taylor,West Virginia DNR Wildlife Re-sources chief, “but now is the timeforhunters andanglers to standupand be counted.”

It's very rare for a stateDNRoffi-cial to comment on national poli-tics. I've covered theDNRsince thelate 1990sand I can't thinkof a sin-gle time this has happened. How-ever, these are desperate times.Unless something changes, theWest Virginia DNR – as well as thecorrespondingagencies in49otherstates - is about to lose a great dealof its operating budget.

Part of Obama's second-termagenda is the sequestration of agreat deal ofmoney that is used forvarious federal government pro-grams.Obama'sOffice ofManage-ment and Budget itemizes $31million in Pittman-Robertson

funds and $34 million of Dingell-Johnson funds (a similar sports-man's tax to support fisheries) tobe “sequestered” which basicallymeans “seized” from the U.S.budget. Some items, such as thepresident's salary, havebeenmadeexempt. The conservation funds,however, are not.

“The irony is,”Taylor said.“We'retalking about this when we shouldbecelebrating the75thanniversaryof the Pittman-Robertson Act.Thisismoney that sportsmenyears agoasked tobe taxed fora specificpur-pose, because they knew therehadto be stable source of money forconservation and education. Thismoney belongs to the sportsmen,not the federal government.”

Despite the fact theworldwas inthemiddleof theGreatDepression,hunters lobbied for the govern-ment to tax them to pay for pro-grams to conserve wildlife.Dingell-Johnsoncame later for an-glers to support fisheries conserva-tion in the same way. These aretaxes you don't necessarily noticebecause it's already included in theprice of guns, ammunition andother sporting-goods equipmentthat you buy (the IRS collects fromthe manufacturers who pass thecost on to you).We sportsmen paythis tax because we agreed – evenasked for it – under the conditionthat these funds be used for con-servation.

The beauty of these funds wasthe guarantee. It was somethingthat wildlife-management pro-grams could count on.

“We have been building pro-

grams for 75 years knowing thatthismoneywouldbe thereandthatitwouldbeguaranteed.Then, sud-denly, it stops. Then what do youdo? You have to reduce programs.You start with the ones that don'thurt as much, but as time goes on,those cuts will get severe,” Taylorsaid.

It was pretty obvious that theplanoriginated in theWhiteHouse.It's detailed in a report fromObama's budget office, which youcan view at www.whitehouse.gov.

Despite this, Obama claimedduring the thirddebate that the se-questration idea started with Con-gressandhehadnothing todowithit. He also claimed sequestrationwouldn't happen.

Then, right after the debate,Obama told the Des Moines Regis-ter that the sequestration wouldhappen and it was part of his planto get“business” done inWashing-ton.

“I'm not here to point fingers,”Taylor said. “I don't care whocaused it. I don't care who fixes it. Ijust want this fixed.They're talkingabout sequestering this over a pe-riod of nine years. In nine years,we'll barely be able to keep thelights on.”

The sequestered funds, I sup-pose, would be unlocked if Con-gress could find a way to eliminateabout a trillion dollars of debt, butthat'snotgoing tohappenanytimesoon, especially with the new costof Obamacare that will soon comeinto play. So, officials are preparingfor the worst.

Taylor said the lights won't get

turned off right away. It will be aslow, but snowballing process. Thefunds aren't some cash cow thestatewildlife agencies cancarveoffwhen they need it. They have amaximum allotment of money –it's based on a formula based onhowmuchwater (forDingell-John-son) and huntable land (forPittman-Robertson) and the num-ber of licensed hunters you have.West Virginia doesn't have muchwater, but with 80 percent of thestate forested, thePittman-Robert-son funds are significant.

The states don't get a checkevery month, either. To get themoney, they first have to spendtheirownandapply for reimburse-ment.

“You don't get the money upfront,” Taylor said. “It’s a very con-trolled process and it has to be toensure the money is spent prop-erly.”

Under presidents Franklin Roo-sevelt, Harry Truman, DwightEisenhower, JFK, LBJ, RichardNixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter,RonaldReagan,GeorgeH.W.Bush,Bill Clinton and George W. Bush,this was a guaranteed source of in-come. It was considered so reliablethat numerous programs werebuilt around it – in fact themodernsystem of wildlife managementand conservation education wasbuilt around these funds.

Archery in Schools is almost en-tirely paid for with this money andhas taught 25,000 children the dis-cipline needed to become goodarchers. That program is so vitaland so successful it would likely

survive in some form. Other pro-grams would suffer more or beeliminated entirely,Taylor said.

“If we keep that program, thensome other program has to suffer.There isonlyonepotofmoneyandit has to pay for everything. Overthe next nine years, we'll be luckytokeep the lightsonwhenyou takeout 40 percent of our operatingbudget. First thing that goeswill beservices. We've built all these rifleranges,butyouhave tohavesome-body topickup trashandmaintainthem.Wedon'twant to layabunchofpeopleoff, sogoing tohave to re-duce part-time labor like that. Oneof the first thingsanglerswillnoticeis cutbacks in the stocking pro-gram. We'll have less money tostock fish and less money to feedthem.We won't be feeding the fishas much, so we're going to bestocking fewer and much smallerfish.”Taylor said.

Once the sequestration expiresor is lifted, it's not as though a vastaccumulation of money will beavailable.

“We only have two years tospend it (money that will be reim-bursed later). Money that is obli-gated in2012,wehaveuntil 2014 tospend it.After twoyears, it justgoesaway,”Taylor said.

So,while thewildlifeagenciesaredenied their rightful funding – anddon't forget thepresident's salary isexempted from this – we will stillhave to pay that tax. That, dearreaders, is tyranny.

HUNTINGTON – Women whoundergo routine mammogramsat the Cabell Huntington HospitalBreast Health Center now havethe latest screening and diagnos-tic technology available to them.

Cabell Huntington Hospital’sBreast Health Center now offerspatients the Selenia® Dimen-sions® 3D digital mammographysystem from Hologic. The CabellHuntington Hospital BreastHealth Center is Huntington’sonly breast center accredited bythe National Accreditation Pro-gram for Breast Centers to offer

this advanced technology.The Selenia system provides

patients with the next level inbreast imaging — tomosynthesis— a breakthrough technologypoised to revolutionize howbreast cancer is detected today.Breast tomosynthesis helps physi-cians identify and characterize in-dividual breast structures withoutthe confusion of overlapping tis-sue.

Breast cancer screening with3D digital mammography offersan exceptional diagnostic tool forphysicians that supports more

confident diagnoses and savesvaluable time, reducing the needfor callbacks for additional imag-ing and can help patients get re-sults more quickly.

During a tomosynthesis exam,multiple, low-dose images of thebreast are acquired at differentangles. These images are thenused to produce a series of one-millimeter thick image “slices”that can be viewed as a 3D recon-struction of the breast.

By offering women the latesttechnology in mammography, theCabell Huntington Hospital

Breast Health Center hopes to in-crease the number of area womenwho will be routinely screened.Breast cancer is the second lead-ing cause of cancer death amongwomen, exceeded only by lungcancer. Statistics indicate thatone in eight women will developbreast cancer sometime in herlifetime.The stage at which breastcancer is detected influences awoman’s chance of survival. If de-tected early, the five-year survivalrate is 98 percent, according to theAmerican Cancer Society.

To schedule a 3D digital mam-

mogram at the Cabell HuntingtonHospital Breast Health Center,please call 304-526-2270.

Cabell Huntington Hospital is a303-bed academic medical centerlocated in Huntington, West Vir-ginia. Cabell Huntington cares forpatients from more than 29 coun-ties throughout West Virginia,eastern Kentucky and southernOhio. Opened in 1956, it is ateaching hospital and is affiliatedwith Marshall University Schoolsof Medicine and Nursing.

SOUTH CHARLESTON –Trapping season inWestVirginiawill open this year on November3, 2012. Trappers harvestingbeaver, bobcat, fisher and otterare reminded that they mustpresent the whole animal or peltto a game checking station orDivision of Natural Resourcesrepresentative within 30 daysafter the close of the respectiveseason. A tag provided by thechecking station shall be at-tached to the whole animal orpelt until it has been sold,tanned or mounted.

Information provided byhunters or trappers on thechecking tag is used to monitorthe harvest and assist in futuremanagement of these furbearerspecies in West Virginia. Deci-sions regarding season length,opening and closing dates, and

bag limits rely on accurate dataobtained from these tags.

The law no longer requiresbobcat hunters and trappers tofield tag each bobcat beforemoving the animal from the lo-cation where it was killed.Hunters and trappers are topresent the unskinned bobcatwhen checking the animal.

The state’s second otter trap-ping season will soon be under-

way. Trappers are once againbeing asked to deliver skinnedcarcasses to any of the six WestVirginia DNR district offices orthe Elkins Operations Center.The biological samples col-lected at these facilities will pro-vide important data and assistwildlife biologists in their effortsto make informed decisions re-garding future trapping seasons.

HAMLIN - A small flamemoves up and down, burningfallen pieces of drywall and ply-wood, five hours after a fire de-stroyed a home off W. Va. 34,Wednesday morning October 24.

The roof of a single-familyhome is gone and only a fewcharred and mangled 2x4 studsstand. Grey ash and orange em-bers blanket what use to be thefloors of bedrooms. Blackenedpieces of plywood barely coverthe exterior.

A white car sits in the driveway,tattooed with blotches of brownand bubbly dimples. The sedanwas less than 20 feet from theheat of the burning house.

This is the aftermath of anearly morning fire that took placenear the Putnam County line,just minutes away from Hamlin.

At 5:06 a.m., the 911 phonecall, regarding a structure firewith the possibility of trappedpeople, rushed the Hamlin FireDepartment to an unfortunatescene. When firefighters arrived,they saw flames consuming ahouse, and tearing through treesand brush behind it. So, theycalled on help fromWest Hamlin,Duval, and Hurricane fire depart-ments to put out the multiple

blazes.“There was a small forest fire

near the house, but we were ableto extinguish it quickly,” HamlinFire Chief Bob Stickler said.

Although no one was injured,the house was damaged beyondrepair. Smoke and flames hadripped through it.

“It was about 90 percent en-gulfed when we got there,” Stick-ler said. “It took us about 35minutes to get it [the fire] down,”Stickler said.

The homeowner suffered noinjury, said Stickler. Fire crews lo-cated the children, who were notin the home at the time.

“He [the homeowner] was safe,

and the children were safe,” thefire chief said. “That’s the mainthing.”

As of Wednesday afternoon,Stickler was waiting to hear backfrom the Fire Marshal to deter-mine the cause of the fire.

“We’re still searching,” he said.“We believe it may have been aspace heater that appeared tohave started the fire in a backbedroom.”

The fire chief urges residents topractice fire prevention year-round. He said owners of spaceheaters need to test them tomake sure they are operatingsafely.

Stickler thanks the Hurricane

Fire Department for its quick ef-fort and aid onWednesday.

“They came on a moment’s no-tice,” he said.

ONA – Family and friends sateagerly by the television at 7p.m.,Monday, Oct. 22 to watch achildhood dream become realityfor their own Jessi Pierson.

Excitement filled the livingroom asWheel of Fortune beganits airing.

“Here it is!” Pierson’s fiancéBen Jurevicius said.

Host Pat Sajak and modelVanna White appeared on thefamily’s TV set. Sajak introducedthe nervous, but happy Salt RockElementary School Teacher,Pierson to the nation on theshow’s “TeachersWeek” episode.Her family’s eyes were glued tothe television set as she spokeabout them, her students and fi-ancé on national television.

During the 30-minute show,the first-grade teacher graduallybegan solving puzzles, and herprize winnings grew. By the endof the show, she had won $14,500and a trip to Antigua.

“We’re excited because themoney we won can be used forour wedding,” Pierson said. “Wewill have our honeymoon withthe trip to Antigua that we won.”

The former Miss WV recalledthe weeks leading up to herWheel of Fortune performance.She said it began with an audi-tion in Charleston.

“It was intense,” she said. “Thejudges kept making cuts, cutsand cuts.”

After the rigorous 6-auditionset, Pierson was told, that if shewas chosen to come on theshow, she would receive a letterin the mail in two weeks. She andher family waited patiently whilethe two weeks passed.

But after almost three weekssomething amazing happened: aletter arrived in the mail thatchanged her life. She opened itand learned she had made it onWheel of fortune.

“I was with my mom, sisterand nephew,” she said. “I was soexcited! I broke a board on my

porch from jumping up anddown.”

Pierson’s grandmother WandaKing recalled that day, “She toldme that she had some good newsand some bad news. She said‘the bad news was that she hadbroken a board on the porch, butthe good news was that we weregoing to California to be onWheel of fortune.’”

Pierson’s mother, Kristi, wasnot shocked to learn her daugh-ter had made it.

“It wasn’t a surprise in anyway,” she said. “What she setsher mind to, she accomplishes.”

Kristi Pierson said every one ofher daughter’s childhood goalshave been achieved.

From becoming a schoolteacher, to winning the MissWest Virginia title, she succeeds,her mother said.

Two of these childhood goalshave already been achieved, andWheel of Fortune was no differ-ent for Pierson.

This classic television showdrew her attention at a youngage.

“I watched it as soon as I couldread,” she said. “My Nana [King]would say ‘you got to come overand watch Jessi solve puzzles.’”

“She was always good at it,

“King said.The television show has

brought memories to Piersonand her grandmother during thepast 20 years.

“We both shared a love for thatshow, “ King said.

Pierson’s mother nodded herhead, “You all still do!”

Amid the publicity and na-tional exposure of beauty pag-eants and TV shows, Piersonremains humble, her fiancé said.

“I met her before she evenwon Miss WV,” he explained.“She is a really good person;that’s what means the most tome.”

On Wednesday, October 24th,Pierson showed her Wheel ofFortune performance to herproud group of first graders. The

excited students cheered theteacher on while they watchedher win on the big screen.

Now that Pierson’s dream of

playing on Wheel of Fortune isaccomplished, she can plan an-other one: to have a weddingnext fall.

SUBMITTED ARTICLESOUTH CHARLESTON –

West Virginia trappers will beallowed to sell live foxes tohound coursing pens in WestVirginia during the 2012-2013trapping season, according toCurtis I. Taylor, Chief of theWildlife Resources Section ofthe West Virginia Division ofNatural Resources. All foxesused in hound coursing pensmust be live-trapped in thecounty in which the pen is lo-cated.

“This action will help toavoid any additional westwardspread of rabies and reduce thepossibility of moving diseasedanimals across the state,” Tay-lor said. “In addition, becauseraccoons are the primary carri-ers of the raccoon strain of ra-bies, the sale of live raccoonsremains suspended for the2012-2013 trapping season.”

Hound coursing pens are li-censed in West Virginia and

regulated by best managementstandards which are designedto promote humane treatmentof the wild animals being pur-sued. Trappers are urged touse extreme care when han-dling live animals due to thedangers of exposure to rabiesand other diseases. Live ani-mals may only be held by trap-pers during the trappingseason and 60 days thereafter.Live foxes shall be held accord-ing to temporary or permanenthousing requirements as spec-ified by law.

Please contact your localDNR district wildlife biologistfor more information aboutthe sale of live foxes.
