WINFIELD – Members ofAmerican Legion Post 187 helda special ceremony on the stepsof the Putnam County court-house the morning of Tuesday,Sept. 11, to remember thosewho were killed in the terroristattacks on America 11 years be-fore.Post Commander Clem Pem-

berton led the ceremony, andsaid that it was important thatAmericans never forget the in-nocent victims who perished onSept. 11, 2001.“America can fight back by re-

minding the world that thedeaths of these people will al-

ways be remembered and thatthey are forever loved,” Pember-

ton told the crowd of local offi-cials and courthouse workers

who gathered for the ceremony.“Quite simply, Sept. 11, 2001,

wounded our nation in a waywe had not known since theshock of Pearl Harbor,” Pember-ton said. “In bringing down theWorld Trade Center, damagingthe Pentagon and downing anairliner in a Pennsylvania field,the day ranks as themost devas-tating in our nation's history.Wevowed we would not forget, buthave we?”Pemberton said that domestic

issues and wars in Iraq andAfghanistan have the nation'sattention, and the remem-brance of Sept. 11 has been rel-egated to a single paragraph in

come to see me sooner,” Kleinsaid. “They wait until the prob-lem gets overwhelming.”Different factors can lead peo-

ple to file for bankruptcy, butsome of the most common thatKlein has seen include loss ofemployment, medical bills, therising cost of living, and probablythemost common factor – creditcard debt.“If you have credit card debt

over $25,000 there is no way outof that, it's like quicksand,” Kleinsaid.There are a number ofmiscon-

ceptions that people have aboutbankruptcy, Klein said. One ofthe most common ones is thatchanges to bankruptcy lawsmade in 2005 made it harder forindividuals to file for bankruptcy.While the changes did impact

people with higher incomes,Klein said that 90 percent of peo-ple in West Virginia are not af-fected by the change.Anothermisconception is that

filing for bankruptcy can ruinyour credit rating for 10 years.While it can have a short term

impact, Klein said, that if you areable to make regular house andcar payments your credit ratingcan start to improvewithin 30-36months.Anothermisconception is that

filing for bankruptcy is expen-sive.Klein offers a free initial con-

sultation, and after that rates arebased on income.At the initial consultation,

Klein said that he walks peoplethrough their monthly expensesand tries to determine if bank-ruptcy is the best option, and ifso, whether Chapter 7, Chapter11, or Chapter 13 is a better fit.After the initial consultation,

the actual filing for bankruptcy isa relatively quick and easyprocess.Those filing must appear for a

hearing before a BankruptcyCourt Judge and answer ques-tions. Klein accompanies hisclients to the hearing, and inmost cases, that is all that is nec-essary for the judge to make the

bankruptcy determination.“I'm surprised more people

don't take advantage of bank-ruptcy,” Klein said.Over the past few years, Klein

said thatmore older people haveturned to bankruptcy.“You are seeing more 'baby

boomers' filing bankruptcy,”Klein said. “The cost ofmedicineand food continues to go up andpeople are using their creditcards to pay their medical billsand for medicine. All it takes isone unexpected large expenseand you're stuck.”Another type of client that

Klein has seen more of in recentyears is people facing the threatof losing their homes to foreclo-sure.“People were sold more than

what they could pay for,” Kleinsaid. “(And) if you miss twomortgage payments you are inserious danger.You are not likelygoing to be able to pull it out.”Filing bankruptcy can stop the

foreclosure process and allowpeople to remain in their homes.Klein said that on more than

one occasion he has had clientscome to him that were facing thepossibility of losing their homethe next day, and he has beenable to take action to stop thatfrom happening.“The best and safest way to

save a house is to file Chapter 13bankruptcy,” Klein said. “We canstop it (the foreclosure process)cold.”Klein warns people not to fall

for companies that offer foreclo-sure rescue services. Most ofthem are scams, Klein said, thattake people'smoney and provideno relief.The same can be said for com-

panies that offer to negotiatecredit card debt, he said, notingthat most are not West Virginiacompanies and that the state At-torney General's office has filedsuit to stop many of them fromoperating inWest Virginia.Klein has been practicing

bankruptcy and real estate lawfor the past 30 years and for thepast 20 years has kept his pri-

mary office in Teays Valley. Dur-ing that time, his firm has repre-sented more than 3,000businesses and individuals inbankruptcy cases.When he is not practicing law,

Klein can be found teaching his-tory classes at Marshall Univer-sity's campus in Teays Valleywhere he is an adjunct professor.Klein received his undergrad-

uate degree in history from Rut-gers University and later amaster's degree in history fromMarshall University.He received his law degree

from Ohio University and is li-censed to practice in West Vir-ginia and Ohio.In addition to his work as an

attorney, Klein served in theUnited States Marine Corps Re-serve from 1975-2000. He retiredas a lieutenant colonel.A history buff, Klein's law of-

fice in Teays Valley is decorated

with items portraying the U.S.CivilWar.In addition to history, Klein is

an active outdoorsman. As ayouth he was an Eagle Scout andlater served as a Scoutmaster.Recently, Klein took his love of

the outdoors to a new level, set-ting out to hike the AppalachianTrail that stretches more than2,000 miles from Georgia toMaine. Rather than tackling thetrail all at once and doing a “thruhike” that could take up to sixmonths, Klein is hiking the trailin 100-mile segments as hisschedule allows.The Klein Law Firm is located

Beef and Cheese Enchiladas

RECIPE OFTHEWEEK:

Art by Natalie Larson

DirectionsPreheat the oven to 350 degrees.Heat the ground beef in a large skillet overmediumheat. Cook,

stirring to crumble, until no longer pink. Drain off grease andseasonwith chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt.Mix in the tomato sauce and 2 cups of the water. Simmer overlow heat. Mix the remaining water with the flour and sugar untilflour is dissolved; stir into the simmering meat sauce. Simmeruntil thickened, about 10 minutes.

While the sauce is cooking, heat oil in another skillet overmedium-high heat.Warm tortillas in the hot oil until pliable. Filleach tortilla with a little bit of cheese, and place in a 9x13 inchbaking dish, reserving some of the cheese to sprinkle on top. Pourthe meat sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Top with remain-ing cheese.

Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese ismelted and lightly browned.

We could hardly have a seriesof columns on Figurative Lan-guage without the topic of themetaphor coming up. Ametaphor is an implicit compari-son made between two thingswhich are not alike.There are sev-eral forms of metaphor: A. Boththe literal and figurative form isnamed: ex. “A letter is solid, love adream”. B. The literal term isnamed and the figurative im-plied: ex. “The rose’s scent hungin the air/ as temptation remem-bered”. C. The literal implied andthe figurative named: ex. “Itcooled in the rumpled flowers /as if heat existed no more”. D.Both literal and figurative are im-plied: ex. “It danced withouttouching ground /screamed fromlips which were not there / thencoupled with destruction”.Metaphors used correctly can el-evate and add another dimensionto your poetry, they are not diffi-cult to use, just practice.

SUBMITTED ARTICLESCOTT DEPOT -- Members of

Teays Valley Church of God tooka walk of faith on Friday, Sept. 7.Several members hiked the 74acres of property owned by thechurch while others road in pick-up trucks.

The purpose?Prayer for the future.As they scoured the property,

members prayed strategically forthe funds to move forward withthe church’s master plan whichincludes a community centerwith a double gymnasium, soft-ball and soccer fields, an outdooramphitheater, camping cabinsandmore.

The event also included a“spir-

itual groundbreaking.”Members dug up dirt on the

site of the future community cen-ter and buried Scriptures thatspoke of God’s blessing on Hispeople and His plans.

“It was amazing to see youngand old alike come together towalk and pray and exercise theirfaith about the future of ourchurch’s role in this community,”said the Pastor, Rev. Dr. MelissaPratt. “We believe it is all going tohappen.”

The church’s master plan wasdeveloped two years ago byChapman Technical Group, andthe site development is currentlyin the hands of Fox Engineering.

A capital campaign is being

planned with the anticipationthat site prep alone will cost $1million.

The church’s goal is to offerPutnam County a family-friendlyplace to gather while at the sametime creating opportunities toshow the love of Christ throughsupport groups and programsthat will provide financial, emo-tional, physical and spiritual helpfor all people.

The 74 acres, officially named“TeaysValley Acres” is located justeast of Rocky Step off ofTeaysVal-ley Road.

WINFIELD – The PutnamCounty Commission voted at itsTuesday, Sept. 11, meeting tomove forward with four water-line extension projects through-out the county.

The four projects would servecustomers in the areas of CusterRidge Road, Sigmon Fork, TraceFork and Painters Fork Road.

Jim Nagy with the engineeringfirm Terradon said that morethan 80 percent of residents inthe Custer Ridge Road, SigmonFork and Trace Fork areas hadsigned user agreements agreeingto use the service if the water lineextensions are built. He said thatthe 80 percent threshold had notyet been reached in the PaintersFork Road area, but the commis-sion's vote to move forwardshould help get additional agree-ments signed.

Combined, the four projectswould extend water service to 72additional households at an ap-proximate cost of $2.35 million.

Commission President GaryTillis said that with historicallylow interest rates nowwas a goodtime to move forward with theprojects because they would beable to be financed over time.This year, the county has setaside $50,000 that could be usedin the financing of water proj-ects.

“There is money in the budgetto do this,” Tillis said.

However, Commissioner SteveAndes questioned the countyspending an additional $2.3 mil-lion on the water projects.

Andes said that the countyshould instead focus on payingdown its existing debt, which hesaid is in the $13 million range.

“I would prefer to pay downdebt, rather than borrow more,”Andes said.

The question was also raisedover the participation of WestVirginia AmericanWater Co. andwhat type of financial contribu-tion, if any, the company wouldmake toward extending the wa-terlines. Last year, the watercompany ended its participation

in financing waterline extensionconstruction.

Commissioner JoeHaynes saidthat by voting to move forwardon the projects, the countywould be able to bring West Vir-ginia AmericanWater back to thetable and get an answer on whattheir financial contributionmight be, if any.

Tillis agreed, saying, “Thequickest way to get them to thetable is to move forward.” hesaid. “If they come back and saythat they are giving nothing thenthat may cause us to re-evaluatethis.”

In the end, commissionersvoted 2-1 to move forward withthe four projects. Andes votedagainst the measure.

Also at the Sept. 11 meeting,commissioners held a bid open-ing for work on cleaning out de-bris from the drainage ditches inHometown. Clogged ditches hadcontributed to flooding inHometown in recent years.

Two bids were received for theproject, with Raynes and Co. LLCbeing the low bidder on the proj-

ect with a bid of $33,526. Thecounty had approximately$39,000 set aside for the projectand commissioners voted toaward the contract for the workto Raynes and Co. pending staffreview.

In other news at the Sept. 11meeting, the commissioners setTuesday, Oct. 30, as the day forTrick or Treat in all unincorpo-rated areas of Putnam County.Trick orTreat will take place from6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

At the start of the Sept. 11meeting, commissioners held amoment of silence in honor ofthose who lost their lives in theterrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.Commissioners also held a mo-ment of silence in honor ofWestVirginia State Troopers MarshallBailey and Eric Workman whowere killed in the line of duty.

In a lighter moment, prior tothe start of the meeting, Com-missioner Tillis was able to havea breakfast biscuit from Tudor'scourtesy of CommissionerHaynes as the result of a wagerthe two had made over the out-

come of the recent WVU-Mar-shall football game.

Tillis, a WVU fan, and Haynes,a Marshall fan annually place awager on the outcome of thegame, which was won again thisyear by the Mountaineers by ascore of 69-34. The stakes, as inyears past, were a biscuit fromTudor's for the winner, as well asthe loser having to wear the teamcolors of the winning team.

For his part in addition tobringing Tillis the breakfast bis-cuit, Haynes wore a blue shirtand a gold and blue WVU tie togo along with a WVU pin on hislapel.

This will be the last year for the“Biscuit Bet” between the com-missioners. Not only is the foot-ball series between WVU andMarshall coming to an end, butTillis chose to not seek re-elec-tion this year and will go off theCommission at the end of thisyear.

The next meeting of the Put-namCounty Commission will beTuesday, Sept. 25, at 9 a.m. at thecourthouse inWinfield.

SlowerLast week while driving home, I was two cars behind a tractor on

Route 60. The tractor of course was slower than the cars and the peo-ple in front of me were trying to pass the tractor. In such a hurry.

I began to think of the old days when people worked on the farmsand the tractors were a natural sight to see. I guess theway of life wasslower without more modern conveniences.

People seemed to have more time for each other and their neigh-bors, so I am told.

MyMom said when she was a child, people would walk for severalmiles to take a sick person something to eat.When a person passedaway people would gather around andmournwith the family. I don’tthinkwe do that today. I don’t know if people evenmourn over some-one else’s loss.

Times have changed and the faster we go, the faster we want to go.Time has away of catching upwith us and one of these days I guess

we will be moving a little slower also.

Dear Editor:Children of all ages, including

infants and toddlers, need timeoutside every day. Here in WestVirginia, while we are overallblessed with more green spacefor such opportunities, we alsorank poorly nationally with re-gards to the percentage of over-weight/obese people of all agesand in our children’s educationaltest scores.

Research is showing thatspending time outdoors doesmore to benefit a child’s develop-ment than just increase physicalhealth. Children are naturally cu-rious so they can be guided in vo-

cabulary, science, math andemotional development. Beingoutdoors has been shown to helpcalm people down and allowthem to bemore creative and co-operative. Everyone needs a“brain break” and time outsideactually helps children to processwhat they may be learning inmore the structured environ-ment of a classroom. Also, peoplelearn in different ways and forsome moving and doing thingshands-on is the most beneficial.

Today, more families have tohave both parents working out-side the home. This leaves asmall window for families to play

outside together and places themandate on childcare providersto provide the needed time out-side. While there are regulationsas to how much time children inchildcare facilities need to beoutdoors, there are still missedopportunities for early educatorsto help kids grow through inter-actingwith nature. Time does nothave to be spent on the play-

ground but can be as a naturewalk, looking at clouds, withsidewalk chalk or reading a bookin the shade.

I understand that many par-ents and teachers do not want todeal with the mess or hassle oftaking kids outside. Like anyvaluable activity however, goingoutside to promote children’s de-velopment will get easier with

practice. I challenge my peers inearly education to make the ef-fort this school year and findways to get outside with our kids– their future depends on it.

“SENIORSTOGETHER”

Thought for the week: They shall still bring forth fruit in old age;they shall be fat and flourishing.Psalm 92:14 (KJV)

If you ever attend a senior center, where ladies and gentlemengather tomeet, greet and eat, you will find within a short time of con-versation just how lonely some people are in this life.

This is a government project for our state that should be com-mended for creating centers where the golden age group and otherscan gather with each other and talk of interests they have in common.

Some may have children out of state or close friends who havepassed on or who are physically unable to drive, work or visit anymore. Getting out of the house and talking to someone else is goodtherapy, recommended bymost doctors any time, but especially dur-ing the coming months of inclement weather.

Many widows and widowers attend these daily, have a nourishinglunch and often go on a scheduled bus trip. They also gather and par-ticipate in bingo games, listen to a local band, sing, dance and justreminisce of earlier days with laughter.

We all miss that spouse or those loved ones when age comes fasterthan time for us. But I think God heals the broken hearted and wantsus to enjoy our later years with fun andmerriment.

What better way to begin or end a day than by attending one ofthese senior citizen centers. There is no specific age bracket, if youwant to make a new friend or meet with an old friend. People stillneed one another. It’s the enrichment of life.

Prayer: Our Father, thank you that we reach our so-called goldenyears, which come quicker than expected. Guide us then to enjoybeing with others as much as we did as youth.Amen.

W.Va. AmericanWater repainting Fire HydrantsSTAFF REPORTWINFIELD – West Virginia

AmericanWater has begun a sys-tem-wide fire hydrant paintingproject that will improve the visi-bility and appearance of morethan 5,700 hydrants across thestate.

The $240,000 project kicked offlast week in Kanawha and Put-nam counties.

The project will expand toBoone, Braxton, Cabell, Fayette,Lewis, Lincoln, Mercer, Summersand Webster counties over the

next several weeks.West Virginia American Water

operates and checks each of itsmore than 9,000 fire hydrantsevery year to ensure proper func-tionality in the event of a fireemergency. However, in somecases, the appearance of many ofthese hydrants has not been im-proved in years.

“While solely cosmetic in na-ture, this project is important toour customers because it will in-crease the visibility of fire hy-drants for quick identification by

fire departments during emer-gency situations,” said Jeff McIn-tyre, president of West VirginiaAmericanWater. “It also improvesthe overall appearance of the onlyprevalentwater infrastructure vis-ible above the ground, whichshould give our customers confi-dence that we are also taking careof and investing in the muchlarger percentage of our water in-frastructure that is buried be-neath the ground.”

According to the Office of theState Fire Marshal, all West Vir-

ginians – not just firefighters –have responsibility for helpingkeep their communities safe fromfire.

“Citizens and firefighters alikeneed to be aware of the locationand condition of fire hydrants intheir areas, since fire hydrants area means of valuable fire protec-tion that could mean the differ-ence between losing or saving ahome,” said Carol Nolte, DeputyState FireMarshal. “Any improve-ment project to make hydrantsmore visible, while keeping them

in good working condition, willabsolutely assist our firefightersand help protect our citizens.”

The company is asking driversto use caution while workers arecompleting these painting proj-ects, asmanyhydrants are locatedjust inches from the street curb.All workers will be wearing highvisibility construction safety vests.

newspaper stories, or the occa-sional mention on TV.Ceremonies like the one con-

ducted by the American Legionwill ensure that what happenedon Sept. 11, 2001, will never beforgotten, he said.“Those of us who were not di-

rectly affected by the attacks areat a disadvantage,” Pembertonsaid. “With Ground Zero notoutside our front door and thePentagon not visible from ourwindow, the anger we felt thatday is perhaps starting to fade.Half a world away, the enemieswho hatched the Sept. 11 plot,and hope to spawn even moreterror, are counting on us tohave short memories.“Let it be said on this Patriot

Day, we shall win. Even as wegather to remember those lost inthe attacks, America's military istracking down terrorists and se-curing liberty at home andabroad,” Pemberton said.The American Legion con-

cluded their ceremony with theringing of the Putnam County

courthouse bell four times;once in memory of those whodied when American AirlinesFlight 11 struck theWorld TradeCenter North Tower, once inmemory of those who diedwhen United Airlines Flight 175struck the South Tower of the

World Trade Center, once inmemory of those who diedwhen American Airlines Flight77 struck the Pentagon, andonce in memory of those whodied whenUnited Airlines Flight93 crashed near Shanksville, Pa.Following the ringing of the

bell, American Legionmembersfired a three volley salute in

memory of all those lost to actsof terrorism.

SEPT. 11 FROM PAGE 1

With remembrance andhonor of September 11, 2001

As I was getting ready for workon Tuesday, September 11th … Idid my usual routine. Got ready,ate my cereal bar, did somethings on the computer, thenwatched TV (or should I sayflipped channels) until time toleave.

Both The Today Show andGoodMorning America talked of9/11 and Ground Zero.

During one of my ‘flips’ GoodMorning America had a mo-ment-of-silence with scenesfrom NewYork.

On my way to the Post Office,WQBE held a moment of silencein remembrance.

As I drove to work, I camethrough Hurricane. Heading to-ward the Hurricane Fire Depart-ment, I could see a HUGEAmerican flag waving above (andacross)Main Street. To be honest,it almost took my breath away.

What majesty, what beauty…against the bright blue Septem-ber sky.

I honestly could have pulledmy car to the side of the road andhad myself a good cry.

As I passed the Fire Station,several of the guys were standing

outside. I pointed to the flag andgave them the ‘thumbs up’. Theysmiled and waved back.

I remember September 11,2001. I was still working for Phyl-lis Robinson at the Putnam Post.She was in the apartment andcalled for me to come in therefrom the office. My heart sank asI looked at the television and sawthe devastation and destructionin NewYork.

As the hours went by, I heardabout the Pentagon… and Ilearned of a field in Pennsylva-nia.

I could not believe that we hadbeen attacked on our own soil.

Yes, I said ‘we’ because that dayevery one of us was attacked.Wemay have personally known ofsomeone that was killed; whilemany of us did not. Yet - in oneway or another – we weretouched by this horrific act. Wesat glued to theTVwaiting for an-swers. We just couldn’t under-stand it.

Someone asked me why Iwatched the news so much overthose days… and in all honesty, Ican say I watched it with hopethat there were more survivors…thatmore people would be foundbeneath the rubble. It was simply‘hope’.

As the days moved to weeks, Iremember the feeling of insecu-rity. The feeling of seeing somany people left helpless andalone.

I saw flags being placed on justabout every porch; people wear-ing ‘flag pins’; and folks lookingto each other for support.

I saw a unified nation.Will we ever ‘get over’ Septem-

ber 11, 2001? I don’t see how…and to be honest, I don’t think weshould.

We havemoved forward, we’vemoved through because we haveno other choice. Even in thedarkest hours, the act of livingcontinues.

But, as for me, I do not believethat we will never, nor should weever, forget that fall day when theUnited States as a nation felt andshared pain.

When, only days later, the na-tion rose… and came together insorrow to honor those who werelost.

It is with a deep sadness andalso with pride that I rememberSeptember 11th 2001… for it wasnot only a day of great sorrow,but also a day of unity for thepeople of this great nation.

A day that we must never for-get.

West Virginia man dies fromrodent-carried virus

AWest Virginia man is the lat-est to die from a rare disease con-tracted in the wilds of YosemiteNational Park in California. TheKanawha-Charleston Health De-partment has declined to releasethe name, age or gender of thedeceased.

Two others have died from therare Hantavirus disease after vis-iting Yosemite – a total of eightpeople are known to have beeninfected since June.The disease isspread by contact with infectedrodents – primarily deer mice –via mice droppings and urine.

It can take up to six weeks forsymptoms of the virus to show –although typically they beginabout threeweeks after exposure.Early symptoms include fatigue,fever and body aches andprogress to severe difficultybreathing.

The virus was discovered dur-ing an outbreak in the early1990s, which infected dozens ofpeople in the Southwest.

DNR using spotlights for deercensus

WestVirginia Division of Natu-ral Resources Biologists are usingspotlights to count deer through-out West Virginia during theevening hours when deer aremost active.

Biologists have long knownthat spotlighting is the best wayfor them to count deer, but doingso requires a great deal of man-power. DNR personnel will travelspecific routes to spotlight deer.They will not only be countingthem, but gathering other infor-mation as well, such as sex andapproximate age.

The DNR has historically usedthe size of each year's buck har-vest to determine the size of thestate's herd. Recently, however,the DNR has shifted its deer-management philosophy and isdeveloping new calculations forhow many deer a square mile of

habitat can hold. Thanks to a lackof small farms and timbering,most of the state is now forestedhabitat, which can support fewerdeer than a more varied habitatwith amix of forest, clearings andbrush.

The survey is expected to becompleted by late September.

Nature Conservancy buildingartificial bat cave

Once conceived only in comicbooks, theNature Conservancy isbuilding an artificial bat cave inTennessee in an effort to combatwhite-nose syndrome, which haskilledmillions of bats and threat-ens to bring several bat species toextinction.

The artificial bat cave is locatedon property that the conservancyowns and is expected to be com-pleted by the end of themonth intime for bats to take up residencethis winter. It is the first of itskind, conservancy officials say.

The new structure—the firstman-made hibernation cave forbats—is underground and willmimic the cold, damp environ-

ment of the nearby natural cave.The artificial cave will be a safehaven for bats to hibernate induring winter. It will also serve asa test site for WNS treatments.Several disinfectants can kill thefungus believed to cause WNS,but they can harm other cave-dwelling species and local watersupplies. The artificial cave willnot house other animals, and itcan be disinfected when batsleave in summer.

Its cost is approximately$300,000 – evenwithout a batmo-bile car and holographic water-falls to hide secret entrances -which conservancy officials say is

money well spent.“This is the first idea we've

come upon that offers bats a realchance at survival without killingthe other organisms that callcaves home," added The NatureConservancy’s Cory Holliday.“Even though we haven’t yetraised all themoney necessary tocover our building costs, we areforging ahead because WNS isspreading very quickly, and wedon’t have other effective meansto fight it.”

Some people are die-hardmusky anglers. Others spendtheir lives pursuing black bassand for some, catfish is theirmain quarry. Trout have had aloyal following for millennia.

You don't see many die-hardwhite bass anglers. In fact, I'mthe only one I can think of.

During the years I lived in Park-ersburg, Ohio River white basswere mymain quarry for most ofthe year. Every year, I followed thesame schedule – carp with a fly-

rod from January toMarch, fresh-water drum on twisty-tail jigsfrom March till June and whitebass on the flyrod from June untilDecember.

White bass have white sidesand bottom - thus the name –with dark narrow stripes runninglengthwise on the sides. Most ofthem are around 10 to 12 incheslong. The largest one I evercaught (it was a trophy citationfish) was 2.31 pounds and 15.25inches long.

They are found all over theMississippi River drainage. You'llfind them in the Kanawha andanything that drains into theKanawha, at least up to the firstriffle.

White bass are nice, lively fight-ers, but they certainly aren'tgoing to put up a fight like a four-pound smallmouth, they justdon't get that big. What I reallylove about white bass is if youknow how to find them fishingcan be incredible when you do.Normally, you'll catch a whitebass here and there, but if youhappen on a white-bass feedingfrenzy, it gets very, very interest-ing. Bubba Holt (he's now a crewmember for theTV show“Fly Rod

Chronicles”) and I fished the Lit-tle Muskingum at the Devoladam tailwaters once and literallycaught 200 white bass in aboutthree hours. I have actually runinto situationsmany timeswhereI've caught nothing over a hun-dred yards off shore ormore, thenfound a spot where I could catchone every third cast.

When you're fishing for blackbass or most other warmwaterspecies, you look for structure,such as logs, rocks or weeds.Withwhite bass, you're looking forshad. Find the shad, you'll findthe white bass.

An obvious place for shad con-gregation is at the tailwaters of adam or the first rapid on a tribu-tary fish encounter as they swimup from the Kanawha, such asthe falls on Coal River – althoughI've yet to fish that to see what'sthere.

In Parkersburg, my favoriteplace to fish was at Point Park, atthe mouth of the Little KanawhaRiver. I don't know if the newpark structure the U.S. ArmyCorps of Engineers built therehas changed how thewater flows,but during the years I fished it,the current along shore actually

went up the Ohio River for about80 yards above the mouth of theLittle Kanawha. Shad came out ofthe mouth of the Kanawha andwent upriver – with the current –along the shore. Once that slackbackwards current turned andwent downstream, presumablythe shad went with it.

About this time of year, theshad would really start moving.They stay close to the surface andare easy to see when moving inlarge schools. First you'll notice anumerous slight disturbances ina long line at the top of the waterand larger bumps in the waterwhen bass come up through theschool to feed. If it's sunny, you'llsee the flash of their bodies as thesunlight gleams off them. They'dbe packed tight as sardines in acan in a line about three feet deepand three feet wide - and theywould come out in those num-bers for days, maybe even weeks.Since I moved here this year, I'veseen large numbers of shad com-ing out of the Elk River and goingdown the Kanawha in similarfashion.

But shad are also moving up atthe same time and I don't reallyunderstand this, but they still -

even when most of them aremoving downstream – are goingup, because they will still collectat falls or dams. I don't under-stand why, it might be the onesgoing down are threadfin shad -they die when water drops below45 degrees, so they have to mi-grate to more open water – andgizzard shad going up.

When I fish a line of movingshad. I cast beyond the shad, andthen work my fly into the shadschool. While in the shad, I let itdrop down below the school andgive a slow, jerky retrieve, like ashad might if his swim bladderwere damaged. Bass hang outbelow the shad and attack up, soif you drop just below the shad -your fly or lure will stick out tothem like a sick elk does to a wolfwhen it drops behind the herd.

They are good eating, althoughyou may want to check out thestate fish consumption advisoriesif you plan to eat themmore thana few times each year. I would eatwhite bass from the Ohio Rivermaybe a couple of times a year.
