cane storewill accept used booksfor a sale June 1 and 2. Proceedswill benefit Children’s MiracleNetwork hospitals and the WVUChildren’s Hospital.This is the store’s first year

impact of raising money for chil-dren in area hospitals. She has agoal of $1,500 this year.It’s one she is ready to achieve.“We do a lot of events, and it

drivesme to domore - it’s great tohave a big-name store helping

people who need it,” said Skeens.“It’s great that kids will know thathelp is there for them, and theywill have a healthy life.”A multi-colored box sits in the

front entrance of the store, nearthe produce section. Customerscan drop off books there untilMay 29.After all the books are col-

lected, Hurricane Walmart willhold a large book sale from 10a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sun-day, June 1 and 2.Customers can also donate

Fix-Up,Clean-Up,&MakingYourGardenGrow

(NAPS)—Anyonewho thinks alow-maintenance landscape hasto be plain green and uglyshould think again.With a bit ofplanning, some smart plantchoices and the help of theseseven garden designer secrets,you can have a yard that’s theenvy of your neighborhood—and enough time to enjoy it.

1. Choose plants that willflourish given the realities ofyour yard. Some plants like fullsun while others tolerate shade;some don’t mind freezing tem-peratures while others are un-fazed by relentless heat.Selecting plants that thrive in theexisting conditions of your siteensures a healthy, attractivelandscape. Observe the light lev-els around your home—six toeight hours plus of uninter-rupted sun each day indicatesfull sun, four to six hours is con-sidered part shade or part sun,and less than four hours wouldbe a shaded site. Plants at thegarden center should have tagsthat tell you their light prefer-ences. Shopping locally helpsensure that all the plants you seewill be suitable for the climate inyour yard.

2. Plant drought-tolerantshrubs. These specially adaptedplants thrive with limited wateronce they are established (usu-ally after their first season in theground). Drought-tolerantplants sail through hot summerdays easily, saving you the timeand money it takes to water thelandscape. Read the tag attachedto the shrub for information onits drought tolerance or look forvisual cues such as silvery-greyleaves, as are found on Petit Bleucaryopteris, and narrow, needle-like foliage, as on Fine Linerhamnus.

3. Spare yourself the time ittakes to prune your plants byopting for compact varieties.Compact (also known as dwarf)plants never get too large for thespace where you’ve plantedthem so you don’t have to botherwith confusing pruning instruc-tions. Most people’s favoriteplants are available in compact,no-prune varieties: hydrangealovers can try Little Lime or Bobodwarf-panicle hydrangeas or thetidy Cityline series of big-leaf hy-drangea. Rose fans should takenote of the low-growing OsoEasy series with its range of 10vivid colors, all under 3’ high.Even butterfly bush, a shrub no-torious for its giant, sprawlinghabit, is available in a compact 2’height with the innovative Lo &Behold series.

(NAPS)—Here are four tipsevery grill owner should follow:

1. Never flatten yourburgers; you’ll lose the juicesthat keep them flavorful.

2. Grilled red meats needto rest for at least five minutesafter cooking. Food covers willprotect the meat—as well asyour entire barbecue—frombugs, pets and other uninvitedguests.

3. Never use a fork to flipyour food. You want to preservethose juices and a fork piercesthe outside. I recommend tongs

for your everyday fare but forribs, porterhouses, pizzas andbig cuts of meat, try Mr. Bar-B-QStainless Steel Oversized SpatulafromQVC. There’ll be practicallynothing you can’t move.

4. While you can cookyour entire meal on your grill—everything from steak andmushrooms to broccoli andfries—smaller foods tend to dis-appear down the grates unlessyou have skewers or, better yet, agrill basket. I like the TechniqueStainless Steel BBQ Chef’s Panwith Grill Basket Lid that’s madeof tightly woven mesh, so youcan roast seeds or even pop pop-corn.

Hawks Nest State ParkHawksNest State Park is a place where we have visitedmany times

but not until a few years ago did we actually stay in the lodge.We would stop and have a picnic every now and then and go look

at the gorge.I remember oncewhen I was little, we stopped there on our way to

Maryland and I put a penny between two rocks. I thought on ourwayback I could find the penny, but I didn’t.Anyway the room at the lodge was very nice and we liked our stay

there. The balcony was nice and each evening the groundhogs cameout. I have never seen somany groundhogs all together in all my lifeand I didn’t realize they ate grass. Some of the guests were feedingthem bread and taking pictures of them.We took a ride toThurmond aswewere staying atHawksNest even

though we had visited Thurmond before.Thurmond is full of history of the railroad and has a smallmuseum

and shop.We were fortunate to see a train stop on the tracks the daywewere there. The station is still used today, but only for the railroadworkers. If you like trains and history of the railroad, Thurmond isthe place to go.Once at Hawks Nest we took a jet boat ride and that was an adven-

ture.We rode the tram down to the river then got into the boat. Thedriver was very informative about the area and history of the river.Wewent on the river and could see theNewRiver Gorge Bridge. Thatwas the first time I had been in a jet boat but I enjoyed the ride.Hawks Nest State Park has a lot of things to do or just sit and do

nothing and enjoy the scenery.There is also a pool for all the swimmers. The food in the lodgewas

very good and we enjoyed our stay very much.If you want a short get-away so you don’t have to drive very far,

Hawks Nest State Park is a good place to stay.I saw a young man and woman having their photos taken and I

suppose it was their engagement photos as the Gorge background isbeautiful for picture taking.Hope you get to go sometime. If you can’t stay, just visit and enjoy

what Hawks Nest has to offer.

Hesitation at the Iris

It’s not how dusty are the feetthatmove in dancewhen souls

meet;nor aged feathers lost from

wings,but ancient quill that softly

singshinting of hidden magic

things.

As falling leaf upon the banksits and rots where cities sank;stars fly through the cosmic

gate,as drops of dew on iris waitfor one to stop and hesitate.

It’s not a song that's heard byallfor few know it's quiet call

of gentle muse or ash that'scharred,this path so long and often

hard'tis but the journey of the bard.Debra J. Harmes Kurth, Mil-

ton,WV

Blood of the Quill

We are as bloodof the quill, you and Iwho scrawl in innocence.Protected from the worldby a child’s eye.Child we never were.

Born to a lyric journeyof ancient blood;story-tellers, poets,healers and prophets;we grow from deathinto life.Keepers of art,time and truth.Debra J. Harmes Kurth, Mil-

“RESTORATIONOF SPRING”Thought for the week: The flowers appear on the earth; the time of

the singing of birds is come,and the voice of the turtle is heard in ourland.Song of Solomon; 2 12 (KJV)Have you taken time to look at the new sprigs of green grass shoot-

ing up, or listened to the spring peepers chirping?And I know you feel howwarm the sun feels while going to and fro,

spring is right around the corner, it is here once again!For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone; Solomon 2; 11With all the beauty of the earth, sky and surrounding hills, we also

have to view the roadsides ditches, with beer cans and plastic waterbottles, andMcDonald’s wrappers too.Why do people dispose of their trash by throwing it out the car win-

dow, to land roadside. Do you knowhow long it takes for a plastic bot-tle to disintegrate? 450 years; aluminumcan - 80 years; plastic bag - 20years; Styrofoam – never; paper - 2 to 4 weeks; milk carton - 5 years;and a cigarette filter – 1 to 50 years. (A study from Penn State Univ.).Trash can lay in a ditch from now on. Or we could have it picked up

bymy solution, of turning out every inmate in overcrowded jails, feedthem breakfast, and then send them out for the day, to pick up trashfrom 6am to 6pm - dinner and lights out!They could breath fresh air, communicate with others, get exercise,

read the labels and just enjoy the day!They could think while bending over to pick up that water bottle –

think about what life is all about.Or better still, if that jobwas boring, they could be sent into themil-

itary for 2 years for each offense. Maybe this would help clear out thejails, and taxpayers would not have to foot the bill, to build newones… just a thought.

Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the LORD,butalso in the sight of men. II Corinthians 8; 21 (KJV)

What man is he that feareth the Lord? Him shall he teach in theway that he shall choose. Psalm 25; 12.It’s not only overcrowding of jails - it’s the wasteful government

spending of so many things - millions spent on roads to airports intowns that don’t have electric and gas, 50,000 dollars spent on Smokeybear hot air balloons for festivals, in the southwest.Members of congress spent 84,000 on personalized calendars this

year; 1.8million spent on a private golf course in Atlanta Ga. - andwehave children going to bed hungry in Cabell County; however, noth-ing new under the sun.

LUKE 2; 2 and this taxing were first made when Cyrenius was gov-ernor of Syria.Just as the seasons restore - just as man can restore his life, if he

wants to - God will forgive the vilest sinner.Prayer: Father,without your guidance where would we be?Thank

you for listening to our humble prayers.Amen.

Hurricane High School HeartWalk

HURRICANE - Studentspoured out their hearts duringthe annual Hurricane HighSchool HeartWalk, March 29.It was a good Friday in more

ways than one as more than 250young men and women joinedheart attack survivor and Hurri-cane teacher Perry Estep in amoment of silence for heart vic-tims.Estep’s granddaughter Berklee

Bonecutter hugged her grandpa.The moment painted an in-

erasable smile on his face.Bonecutter suffered life-

threatening SVT episodes abouttwo years ago. However, she sur-vived.Bonecutter is described as a

miracle. She overcame.That’s what March 29 was

about: overcoming heart prob-lems and remembering thosewho lost heart battles.“In 1991, my father had

quadruple bypass surgery; I’vehad a heart attack and mygranddaughter Berklee sufferedfrom SVT,” Estep said, looking ata crowd of students behind him.“These kids… have a heart… of

gold.”Since 1991, Perry and sup-

porters have raised more than$400,000 for the American HeartAssociation.He has taught for 33 years.

The reason he teaches: the kids.“They keepmemotivated, be-

cause they care about others,”he said. “I’m really lucky to bepart of a staff that cares.”Principal Richard Campbell

was humbled by his students,Friday. In recent weeks, his Red-skins raised thousands in dona-tions to various charities,

including Make-A-Wish andRonald McDonald House.“Every year, we do something

like this - the kids do a fantasticjob of giving back to the com-munity,” Campbell said.Part of the charity fundraising

event, also called March Mad-ness, included a canned fooddrive.Estep recalled a moment dur-

ing the food drive that humbledhim.“I saw kids walking more than

a half-mile to bring in cans,” hesaid.

The March Madness eventculminated with the HeartWalk.With his granddaughter in hisarms, Estep held a microphoneto her mouth. Bonecutter blewthe whistle to start the one-lap-walk.Students cheered and smiled

with every step they took aroundthe 400-meter-track. Estepwalked with his daughter andgranddaughter.He glowed with happiness.“God is good,” Estep said,

walking with his miracle by hisside.

CharlestonWVMommiescelebrates Second Birthday

Page12–Thursday,April11,2013 Outdoors The Putnam Standard

There was a time when folks inEurope hunted pigs with longspears while on horseback. Atthat time, a long spear was aboutthe best you could do - and whilethe Mongols had bows you couldshoot while riding, most didn't.Like most ancient forms of

hunting, this hunting style fell by

the wayside after the advent offirearms, but folks in the old daysneeded to hunt to survive. Whenhunting became a sport, a lot ofthe oldways got revisited and thisspear hunting has seen a recentrevival in Spain.The provincial government of

the Castilla-La Mancha caused astir when it added the ancientsport to its hunting regulations,allowing four-person parties ofarmed hunters to pursue boarson horse.This, of course, has the animal-

rights folks in a tizzy. They are, bythe way, the same folks whobrought an end to Spanish bull-fighting in several countries andprovinces in Spain.Hunters, however, say the sport

is a source of cultural identity andadvocate spear hunting as a chal-lenging and traditionalmethod ofharvesting pigs. It is dangerous -boars are inherently violent crea-tures and to get close to one isvery dangerous. They say spearhunting is not only ethical - it is atrue test betweenman and beast.Of course, the bullfighting ad-

vocates have made the same ar-guments about cultural identityin their downhill struggle to keepthat sport alive, but the bullfightadvocates could make the casethat bullfighting was an impor-tant symbol throughout theSpanish-speaking world. Spearhunting, however, has beenlargely forgotten.Personally, I could think of bet-

ter things to do than chase downhogs and kill them with spears,but it does seem a lot more mel-low than bullfighting.When I was a boy, we traded in

the antenna on the hill for cable(whichwas new at the time, it hadonly six channels) and then for asatellite dish. The dish cost a lotof money, but the channels werefree, until they started scramblingthem all a few years later.On the dish, we didn't just get

the regional stuff anymore. Wecould watch channels fromaround the world, things I'd cer-tainly never seen before. Amongthem were Spanish bullfights,which I watched occasionallywith part amazement and part

horror. Most of what I knewabout bullfights at the time wasfrom cartoons, probably. I hadthe idea that the matador wavedhis cape around and he and thebull went around in circles andeventually parted ways.But it's almost like a dance and

it is a beautiful thing to watch -until he starts sticking spears intothe bull. It seems like this spearsticking goes on forever, but thenwhen the bull is played out, thematador kills it with his sword.Cockfighting seems gentle bycomparison.The animal-rights folks are

working hard to get people tomake the connection of thisniche sport most of them neverheard of, to bullfighting.“It’s something I think most

Spanish citizens are not awareof,” said Animal Equality spokes-woman Sharon Nunez. “If theywere, I’m sure a great percentageof them would be against thiskind of cruel sport.”Spear hunting does bring up an

interesting possibility of eco-nomic growth for rural Spain.

Spain’s rural areas have been de-populating for many years (it'slike that throughout most of Eu-rope) due to a lack of local jobs.Advocates say it could bring somemoney in, not only to stir de-pressed, local economies, but tocreate hunting preserves and thelike.My first reaction is, “How on

earth are you going to findenough people crazy enough tochase wild hogs with spears tomake an economic impact onanything?” After all, spear hunt-ing is part of our cultural identityhere in West Virginia, but youdon't see anybody flinging spearsat deer with atl-atls and you cer-tainly don't see hunting preservesset up for that.Then, again, we have guns. It's

hardly possible to even look at agun in Europe and if you want tohunt with one, you need to havea lot of money. I guess if I livedsomewhere like that, I mightwant to chase hogs with spears,too. davidpayne@theputnam-standard.com

31, 1974, you do not need to takethe course. If youwere born a daylater, you do. I suppose as far asthe West Virginia Legislature isconcerned, folks born in 1975don't have as much sense asthose born in 1974.The hope is, people will get to

try out hunting as apprentices,then later take the course and be-come licensed hunters – theDNRneeds licensed hunters becausethat's where their money comesfrom.Apprentice licenses can only

be purchased online at:www.wvhunt.comby peoplewhohave not previously held a hunt-ing license. Residents who havereached their 18th birthday canpurchase a Class AH license for$19. This license includes thesame privileges as a Class A (res-ident hunting and trapping) li-cense, so holders must buy aClass CS Conservation Stamp.Nonresidents who have

reached their 18th birthday canpurchase a Class AAH license for$119. This license includes thesame privileges as a Class E (non-resident hunting and trapping) li-cense, so holders must buy a

Class CS/LE ConservationStamp/Law Enforcement stamp.Resident and nonresident

youth ages 15 through 17 can buya Junior Apprentice Hunting andTrapping License for $16. TheClass AHJ license for residents in-cludes the same privileges as aClass XJ (junior sportsman hunt-ing/trapping/fishing) license.The Class AAHJ license for non-residents, combined with a ClassCS/LE stamp, includes the sameprivileges as a Class XXJ license.Hunters may buy up to three

apprentice licenses within fiveconsecutive years. Apprentice li-cense holders must be super-vised by a licensed hunter at least18 years of age.“We’re hoping this license will

help us recruit first-time hunters,whether they be youth just get-ting a start or adults wanting togive hunting a try,” said Curtis I.Taylor, chief of the Wildlife Re-sources Section of DNR. “Hunterrecruitment is a prime topicaround the country and is key tocontinuing the successful man-agement programs we have im-plemented in the past.”Contact David Payne at david-
