“COLLECTING STUFF”Thought for the week: Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to
the fool, so it happeneth even to me; And why was I then more wise?Then I said inmy heart, that this is also vanity.ECCLESIASTES: 2:15(KJV)As I was attempting to clean out and dispose of collected items in
my storage area today, I thought of the recently read bible verse – thisis but vanity - my husband collected nutcrackers, old bottles, stampsand walking canes, what to do with them? I on the other hand have acollection of old dishes, records albums, and various knickknacks.What to do with them? Your children don’t want them, and probablynever will, each person collects something in life, it is our individuallikes, and maybe it was something we wanted as a child so now wecan have it.Whatever we collect it soon becomes a habit and we seekit out unconsciously.Wise thoughts also come as we mature what to do with this or that
- something you once thought you could not part with is now easy topass on or let the dust continue to gather on it.While we stop at yet an-other garage sale and add something else to the collection, it’s just theexciting fun of the find, we cannot seem to kick.I know from experience cleaning out my parents home when they
passed, after family, the majority of items go to a thrift store or is dis-posed of, because no one else wants it …so what to do with it, I sup-pose there are collectors who love it, but in due time all of us leavethis world with a caboodle of items that tells what kind of person wetruly were, our likes and dislikes in our life time.Soon, we realize we need very little tomake us happy, andGod pro-
vides all that we need and more. However, it’s a Friday, a fall day solet’s see----------ummmmmmmmmmmmhowmany garage sales arelisted locally in the paper today?Prayer: Our loving father, thank you formaking us wiser with age,
may our collection of GOOD DEEDS TO OTHERS IN LIFE, BEWHATCOUNTS ASVALUEABLE Amen.

In Webster County,where foliage also is reported to beat 70 percent peak, Cover recom-mends driving State Route 15 fromWebsterSprings toValleyHead.TheHighland Scenic Highway/StateRoute 150 in Pocahontas Countyhas some good color as doesCounty Route 17 fromThornwoodtoU.S. Route 33 atWymer.Foliage in the state’s 20-county
northern region, which includestheNorthern andEastern Panhan-dles, isnotasadvanced,but there iscolor to be seen there. Stateforesters offer several recommen-dations, includingdrives,hikesandevents forweekend fun.A drive along State Routes 28/55
to Dolly Sods Wilderness in theMonongahelaNationalForest is re-ported to be beautiful, with a vari-etyof red,yellowandorange leaves.U.S. Route 50 toMt. Storm is also arecommended drive in GrantCounty. Foliage in Grant Countyvaries from 40 percent peak at
higher elevations to 20 percent inthe lower areas.Hikers will want to check out
trails inBerkeleyCounty, includingBeacon Tower Trail, Old Still Trail,Eagles Nest Overlook and DevilsNose via the Tuscarora Trail. Colorcurrently is limited to approxi-mately 10percent peak inBerkeleyCounty,but foresters in theEasternPanhandle expect an especially vi-brant fall season due to plenty ofrainfall coupled with warm, sunnydays andcool, frost-freenights.

To continue with the series onFigurative Language today I amwriting on the use of hyperboleor over-statement. Hyperbole isan exaggeration, which is used toenhance a truth. Such as “theshout heard around the world”,we all know that is an impossibil-ity. Yet thosewords express a veryclear thought, there is no doubtin your mind what the writermeant by that. There is also un-derstatement, which is where thewriter uses less force or emphasisthan you might think the subjectrequires. Such as the writer call-ing a tornado a stormor a screama whisper. As with all uses of fig-urative language the writer de-cides to use one of these tools tomake a point. Why don’t all ofyou out reading try hyperbole orunderstatement in a poem andsent it in this week. As always weare thrilled to showcase our localtalent.

WINFIELD – Putnam Countycommissioners expressed theirdispleasure at their Sept. 25meeting at a recent decision tosplit the county in two when itcomes to examining the area'stransportation needs.Mark Felton, executive director
of the Regional Intergovernmen-tal Council, appeared before theCommission and said that basedon 2010 Census numbers theHurricane and Teays Valley areasof Putnam County would be in-cluded in the transportationstudies of theHuntingtonmetro-politan region.Previously, all of Putnam
County was included withKanawha County in transporta-tion studies.The inclusion ofHurricane and
Teays Valley in the HuntingtonUrbanized area gives the area,which also includes part of east-ern Kentucky and southernOhio,a population of more than200,000, which makes it eligiblefor additional federal funding.The federal funding would go
to the KYOVA Interstate PlanningCommission, which would thendecide how to prioritize fundswithin the counties it represents.
Putnam County residents wouldrepresent approximately 10 per-cent of the population covered byKYOVA.Putnam County Commission
President Gary Tillis asked if Put-nam County currently had anyrepresentation on the KYOVAboard. When informed thecounty did not, Tillis said thatlocal officials needed to figure outhow to be included.“We have to figure out how to
get representation if we hope toget any money for PutnamCounty,” Tillis said. “We want tobe represented.We should be en-titled to representation.”The eastern half of Putnam
County will continue to be in-cluded with Kanawha Countywhen it comes to transportationstudies and funding. The easternhalf of the county is representedby the Regional Intergovernmen-tal Council, and Tillis serves onthat group's board.Commissioner Joe Haynes
questioned the reasoning forbreaking the county in two, andsaid it didn't make any sense tohim.“I don't like Putnam County
being divided up, it defies logic,”Haynes said. “But that may goalong with this being a federalissue. Don't we have a say in all of
this?”Felton said that it was his un-
derstanding that the decision toinclude Hurricane andTeaysVal-ley in the Huntington Urbanizedarea was unappealable.County Manager Brian Donat
said that the decision to includeHurricane andTeaysValley trafficinHuntington area traffic studiesmade no sense to him, as mosttraffic out of Putnam County isheaded into Kanawha County.“It doesn't make sense for Put-
nam County to be part of theHuntington region,” Donat said.“When it comes to traffic goingout of the county it's 9 to 1 goingto Charleston (vs. going to Hunt-ington).”In other news at the Sept. 25
meeting, Haynes said that the an-nual Putnam County VeteransAppreciation Day will take placeon Sunday, Nov. 4, at 2 p.m. in theparking lot at the county court-house inWinfield.Haynes also said that Putnam
County Parks and Recreation ismaking plans for a HalloweenParty on Oct. 19 in the commu-nity center at Valley Park forcounty children.The next meeting of the Put-
nam County Commission will beTuesday, Oct. 9. at 9 a.m. at thecourthouse inWinfield.

The greatest day in my life was the day in 1982 when I acceptedJesus Christ as my Savior. I will never ever regret that choice I madeone day inMarch. I realized I was a sinner onmyway toHell and thatJesus died in my place on the cross, was buried and rose again thethird day according to the scriptures. The Word of God is the onlyWord that matters. As long as we are looking to theWord of God foranswers we will have them.Two ladies frommyChurch came knocking onmy door on aMon-
day morning and shared with me the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am soglad they gave of their time for such a one as I.I have never been ashamed of Jesus and His Word. I have been
ashamed ofmyself for not being the Christian I should be, but I knowI have eternal life with my Savior.All we need to do is ask Him into our hearts and He will come in.

Famous Shay No. 5 engineused to restore brook troutspawning areasIt may seem like irony to some,
poetic justice to others, but thesame steam locomotive thatused to haul timber from WestVirginia forests a century ago isbeing used to improve fish habi-tat that its tracks damaged longago.On the morning of Oct. 1, just
as the editions of The PutnamStandard and The Cabell Stan-dard are being readied for mail-ing to subscribers, the Shay No. 5engine departed the Cass rail-yard with three tons of specially-baffled culvert liners. The train
hauled the material up CheatMountain to Oats Run, a tribu-tary of the renowned Shaver'sFork of the Cheat River.Workers installed the culverts
to make it possible for nativebrook trout to access their his-toric upstream spawning areas.The DNR, as well as West Vir-
ginia University researchers havebeen working together – oftenwith help, expertise and fundingfrom businesses, such as timbercompanies, to return once-pris-tine mountain streams to nativebrook trout fisheries. With grantfunding from the NationalOceanic and Atmospheric Ad-ministration and the Eastern
Brook Trout Joint Venture, DNRand WVU personnel have beenundoing damage done by loggingand trains in the early 1900s be-fore the implementation ofmod-ern best management practices.That damage makes it difficultfor fish to move up and downstreams to grow and reproduce.The culverts will restore trout ac-cess to the tributary.“Many brook trout streams
were altered by dredging, instal-lation of railroad culverts andbridges, and early-century log-ging itself,” said DNR directorFrank Jezioro. “When you changethe streams that way and takeaway the trees that help keepthem cool, it’s hard for trout tolive in them year-round.”While the Cass railroad has
long been a prized rail for pas-sengers with an eye for scenicvistas, this trip was all business –carrying only the work detail.Oats Run is located near the re-mote, historic logging town ofSpruce. The Shavers Fork water-shed, located high on CheatMountain in Randolph and Poca-hontas counties, has suffered at
the hands of progress, but is nowundergoing a remarkablemakeover. Native brook troutwhich inhabited these streamsonce attracted famous sports-men likeThomas Edison, HarveyFirestone and Henry Ford whofished and admired thisrenowned fishery.Archery Deer season open in
WestVirginiaWest Virginia's archery deer
and bear seasons opened Sept.29.For the past several years,West
Virginia has had a Septemberopening for its deer archery sea-son, instead of the traditionalmid-October opening in an effortto expand recreational opportu-nities for hunters.The wild boar archery season
opens Oct. 13. The bear season isa split season that runs until Nov.17 and again from Dec. 3 to Dec.31.Special stamps are required
and different regulations apply indifferent counties. Visitwvdnr.gov for more information.DNR reminding hunters to
check game.
With two of the state's big-game seasons – archery deer andbear - under way, the DNR is re-minding hunters that they mustfill out and attach a field tag toharvested game in the field.For deer, the unskinned car-
cass or fresh skin and head mustbe checked in at an officialchecking station before it istransported beyond a county ad-jacent to the county of kill. Itmust be checked in within 72hours of when it was harvestedor within 24 hours of the season'sclosing. In Logan, McDowell,Mingo or Wyoming counties,however, the deer must bechecked in the four-county areawithin 24 hours of the time of kill.Deer killed outside these fourcounties cannot be checkedwithin these counties.For bear, the unskinned car-
cass or fresh skin must becheckedwithin 24 hours after killand before any part of the bear istransported more than 75 milesfrom the point of kill.Contact David Payne Sr. via e-
Outdoors folks have alwaysbeen a major voting block and astumbling block formany out-of-touch politicians trying to win ared state of good ol' boys – likeWest Virginia.Remember when John Kerry
tried to win us over with thosephotos of himself awkwardlyholding a shotgun on a PR duck-
hunting trip? I'm sure his cam-paign staff thought he looked likeTheodore Roosevelt on safari. Forthose of us who hunt and fish, Ican't really print the word thatbest describes what he lookedlike, but it rhymes with blackbass. It wasn't long after the elec-tion that he went back to spon-soring gun-control legislation.I will admit, however, Clinton
at least looked passable for aduck hunter.This time it's different. The
outdoors is out of the politicalarena this time. I think a lot ofthat has to do with the fact theU.S. Supreme Court did some-thing positive for once by up-holding the Second Amendment.That doesn't mean there's noth-ing left to fight – in our own state,there's a big one, the SecondAmendment stops at the treeline. For most of the year, you arenot allowed to have a firearm inany area of the state forested,which is 80 percent of our greatstate. If you're camping, you can'teven carry a revolver for protec-tion.
That's tyranny I've been argu-ing against for years, but it alwaysseems I fight it alone. Nobody butme seems to care. I did meet gu-bernatorial candidate Bill Mal-oney a couple of months ago andI briefly made my case that thiswas a gross Second-Amendmentviolation. He was, at least, recep-tive to my argument. He said“that doesn't sound right at all”and that he would look into this.Whether he has or not, I don'tknow. All I can do is say “this istyranny.”Back to this election. It's pretty
obvious where Paul Ryan stands,he's an avid bowhunter, but youhaven't seen much on the presi-dential candidates themselves.The group Keep America Fish-
ing, however, asked candidatesseveral questions about fishing-related issues, which I will relayhere this week and next.Here is what they have to say
about their personal fishing ex-periences:Obama:“Although I grew up fishing
with my friends and grandfather
in Hawaii, I am not an avidsportsman and do not claim tobe. I do, however, understand theimportance of our nation's out-door heritage and the key rolethat sportsmen play in the con-servation of our natural re-sources. On the campaign trail in'08 I had the opportunity tospend some time inMontana anddecided that, win or lose, I wouldgo back there and learn to fly fish.After taking office, I was fortunateenough to return to the state andfish the East Gallatin River. De-spite having excellent guides andgetting a few bites, the weatherwas tough that day and I didn'tland a fish. I really enjoyed thechallenge of fly fishing and I'mlooking forward to doing it more.I want to try for trout again butwould also like to try saltwaterand maybe catch a tarpon.”Romney:“Growing up inMichigan, fish-
ing was a prominent pastime inthe area, and I truly understandthe valuable role recreationalfishermen play both in our econ-omy and our environment. As a
boy, I fished with my dad, and inrecent years, I went fishing inAlaska with my son, Matt.Though my schedule makesthese types of trips rarer than Iwould like, I realize that fishing isone of America's great opportu-nities to connect with family,friends, and nature. As president,those in my administration willwork with fishermen to protectthis great American heritage.I gained a better understand-
ing of the concerns and motiva-tions of fishermen as governor ofa coastal state. InMassachusetts,I was able toworkwith both com-mercial and recreational fisher-man to ensure that our state'spolicies met their needs and thatmy administration understoodtheir concerns. As president, Iwill draw on these personal andprofessional experiences to advo-cate for America's fishing com-munity.”Continued next week.

TEAYS VALLEY - "Over 45,000people inWestVirginia suffer fromAlzheimer'sDiseaseorother typesof dementia," HelenMatheny toldthe Putnam Rotary Club at thegroup's Sept. 25meeting.The causes of Alzheimer's are
unknown, and there is no knowncure. But changes may be comingwith a growing awareness of theneed for treatment and care, shesaid.Matheny heads the Alzheimer's
outreach program at theBlanchette Rockefeller Neuro-sciences Institute (BRNI) at WestVirginia University. BRNI wasfounded over a dozen years ago inmemoryof themotherofU.S. Sen.Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.Certain health factors seem to
be associated with Alzheimer'sand other dementia, Mathenysaid, but the correlations with ge-netics and family history are notsignificant.Age is a risk factor, Matheny
said."Folks 85 or older have a 50-50
chanceof some typeofdementia,"she said.Many symptoms of dementia
are associated with diminishedblood flow to the brain."Anything you do to provide
good cardiovascular health," shesaid, "it's going tobegood for yourbrain aswell."Keep up the physical activity,
she advised."Walk30minutesaday, fivedays
a week. And reduce the use of to-bacco."Congress recently authorized a
national Alzheimer's project(signed into law on Jan. 4, 2011)whichbringsgovernmentagenciestogether to share research and topool information.By 2025, an advisory council ex-
pects to make strides in research,clinical care and long-term sup-ports for dementia victims."Scientists have developed a
skin test, now in clinical trials,"saidMatheny. "Oneday,hopefully,you'll be able to go to your physi-cian's office. They'll take a tiny lit-tle sample of skin and send it off tothe lab."The skin testwill tell if you cur-
rently have Alzheimer's dementia.The test has been accurate 95 per-cent of the time," she said. (Theonly way to diagnose Alzheimer'snow is by autopsy).Also under investigation are a
group of agents known as bryo-statins.Presently used to combat cer-
tain types of cancer, bryostatinshave been shown to cause thegrowth of new connections in thebrain.Formore information about the
