WINFIELD – West Virginia At-torney General Darrell McGrawhas filed a civil law enforcementaction in Putnam Circuit Courtagainst a Georgia company thatmanufactures chemicals used insynthetic designer drugs that canbe found throughout West Vir-ginia.
McGraw and his office filed theaction on Monday, April 30,against Nutragenomics Manu-facturing of Alpharetta, Ga., andits owner Drew Green.
McGraw said that the actionwas filed in Putnam County be-cause the abuse of syntheticdrugs is a problem in the area,but added it could have beenfiled in nearly any county inWestVirginia because the problem isso widespread.
Working in conjunction withthe Metro Drug Unit, the Sheriff sOffice, and other law enforce-ment agencies, my office is com-mitted to riddingWestVirginia ofthe plague that these designerdrugs pose for our communities,McGraw said. Cutting off theseillicit drug compounds at their
source is an effective start tocleaning up the problem.
The synthetic drugs are mar-keted under names such as K2 or
Spice and are also presentedunder misleading labels as in-cense, bath salts or plant food,McGraw said.
The synthetic drugs imitate theeffects of marijuana, ecstasy, co-

caine or methamphetamine, Mc-Graw said.
In addition to being availablefor sale locally, the products thatcontain the synthetic drug mate-rial can also be ordered online,McGraw said.
McGraw said Nutragenomicsmisleads consumers into think-ing its products are legal in WestVirginia when, in fact, they vio-late West Virginia Code.
The conduct of Nutragenomicsalso constitutes unfair and de-ceptive acts in violation of severalsections of the West Virginia Con-sumer Credit and Protection Act,McGraw said.
�The deceptive marketing ofthe dangerous drugs usingnames like spice, incense, andbath salts makes the compoundsseem harmless to our kids,� Mc-Graw said. �
But these designer drugs havebeen shown to cause seizures,psychosis, even death.”
McGraw said that the use ofsynthetic designer drugs hascrept into schools and childrenare using the drugs at an alarm-
ing rate.He said that parents need to be
pro-active in talking to their chil-dren about the dangers of abus-ing any kind of controlledsubstance.
“Parents need to communicatewith their children and make itclear that they disagree with drugor alcohol use,” he said. “Com-munication must be a two-waystreet.”
In addition to a ban on Nu-tragenomics products, McGraw'slawsuit requests the company:identify all recipients in West Vir-ginia that purchased their prod-ucts and the chemicals that werepurchased; be restrained fromrepresenting that their harmfulchemicals are benign or legal inWest Virginia; be required to paya civil penalty of $5,000 for eachviolation of the state�s ConsumerProtection Act, as well as all liti-gation and court costs.
The lawsuit filed by Darrell McGraw on Monday targets ‘designer drugs’ such asthese which were seized in Putnam County. The drugs are frequently marketedunder such names as K2 or Spice as bath salts, incense or plant food. Photo byJack Bailey

residents turned out to take ad-vantage of the Clean-Up thatthere were traffic tie-ups alongTeays Valley Road and the eventhad to be cut short an hour earlyin order to get traffic movingagain.
By focusing on items that areharder to dispose of, such as tel-evision sets and electronics, thisyear's event should run muchsmoother, she said.
Also, this year, Habitat for Hu-manity will once again be in-volved, collecting materials that
could be used either at the orga-nization's ReStore in Charleston,or in building homes.
Habitat for Humanity will beon hand collecting items such asworking appliances, architec-tural items, cabinets and coun-tertops, doors and windows,electrical, flooring, home or of-fice furniture, hardware, homedecorations, plumbing and bathfixtures, lighting, siding, toolsand HVAC equipment.
Habitat for Humanity will notaccept mattresses or box springs,oil-based paints, appliances over15 years old, non-working appli-
ances, computers, fax machines,televisions, unframed glass, un-marked containers, children'sitems, ripped or stained uphol-stery or used carpet.

Fruth Pharmacy extends fundraising partnership with hospitalHUNTINGTON – After a suc-
cessful two years that raisednearly $30,000, Fruth Pharmacyofficials announced they will ex-tend their partnership with theCabell Huntington HospitalFoundation to support fundrais-ing efforts and include the Chil-dren’s Hospital project on labelsof Fruth-branded milk.
In January 2010, Fruth Phar-macy became the first commu-nity business to initiate its ownfundraising effort to support theChildren’s Hospital project. Sincethat time, nearly $30,000 hasbeen donated from a portion ofthe proceeds from gallon jugs ofmilk produced locally byBroughton Food Company andsold in Fruth Pharmacy locationswith a specially designed logobearing the Children’s Hospitaland Fruth Pharmacy names.
“From the time we began thisprogram we solely wanted tohave a hand in helping raisemoney for a Children’s Hospitalat Cabell Huntington Hospital,”said Lynne Fruth, President ofFruth Pharmacy. "Our customershave been excited about being apart of helping to build the Chil-dren's Hospital by purchasingwhat they like to call the chil-dren's milk. In addition, thou-sands of consumers regularly seethe Children's Hospital Logo, andour hope is that when faced witha serious illness of a child in theirfamily, these parents or grand-parents will be reminded thatChildren's Hospital at CabellHuntington Hospital can providethe needed treatments and serv-ices. Awareness of these servicesis the key to reaching children inthe WV and Ohio rural areas."
The fundraising initiative fromFruth Pharmacy has exceededexpectations and was the inspi-ration for several other localbusinesses that developed simi-lar donation programs to assistthe Children’s Hospital project.
The Children’s Hospital projectat Cabell Huntington Hospitalwill include a new child-friendlyentrance that will be constructedalong Hal Greer Boulevard andwill lead to a reconstructed areafor the hospital’s Pediatric Unitand Pediatric Intensive CareUnit.
Lynne Fruth holds a gallon of Fruth-branded milk bearing the logo of theChildren’s Hospital at Cabell Hunting-ton Hospital. Nearly $30,000 has beenraised through a fundraising partner-ship that was recently extended be-tween the Cabell Huntington HospitalFoundation and Fruth Pharmacy.

The woods might seem a bitodd this year for West Virginiaturkey hunters. Many of theblooms hunters are used to see-ing early in the season are gone.Many trees are already in full leafwith this year's early spring.
The season began on April 23and runs through May 19.
Curtis Taylor, West VirginiaDNR Wildlife Resources chief,said that the early spring weatherwill have some effects on WestVirginia hunting. In most coun-ties, including Putnam and Ca-bell counties, the trees werealready in full-leaf by the timeseason began. While the early ar-rival of spring, the vegetation de-creases the distance from whichone can hear a gobbler. Taylorsaid that might create an impres-sion for hunters that there arefewer turkeys this year.
However, biologists say none
of that changes the turkey's ac-tivity, as their behaviors arebased on the length of daylight,not temperature. Thus, regard-less of how the forests appear, aturkey's behavior on a givenweek should be very similar tothat week in years before.
Kem Shaw, wildlife biologist,said the turkey population isstrong in Putnam and Cabell
counties. While the harvests havenot always been heavy in thosecounties, Shaw said that waslikely due to a lack of hunters,not lack of birds.
“I think the birds are there, butnot the hunting pressure. We'vegot a strong, healthy turkey pop-ulation,” he said.
Shooting hours are a half hourbefore sunrise to 1 p.m. That law
makes it seem like you can huntuntil 1 p.m., but it's illegal tohave an uncased firearm in thewoods after 1 p.m., so leave thestand early.
If you bag a turkey, you have tofield tag it immediately when youget back to camp or your vehiclealthough your best bet would beto attach it in the field and makesure it hasn't fallen off when youget back to camp.
If you find yourself without aproper field tag, you can makeone yourself and attach it to thebird. The tag needs to have yourname, address, hunting licensenumber, as well as the date, timeand county of kill. That tag has tostay on the carcass until it istagged at the checking station.You've got 72 hours from thetime of kill – or 24 hours after theseason ends (whichever comesfirst) to get the carcass checkedin. You have to keep the check-in-station tag on the carcass untilit is dressed for consumption.
According to conservation of-ficers, among the most commonviolations are hunting over bait,improper license or huntingwithout a license, exceeding thebag limits, illegal possession ofwildlife and hunting without per-mission. Also among the top of-fenses are ones that even honesthunters can commit in a mo-ment or two of forgetfulness –failure to field tag a turkey andloaded gun in a vehicle.
The spring season is the pri-mary turkey-hunting season andwhether or not a county has a fallseason, depends on the numberof turkey harvested. Until themid 1960s, there was no springseason – all turkey hunting wasdone during the fall months.When the spring season was in-troduced in 1965, hunters foundthe gobblers were easier to call.Over the next 20 years, the springseason harvest increased until itfinally eclipsed the fall harvest inthe mid 1980s.
Spring Turkey Season begins in West VirginiaBy David Payne Sr.
About seven years ago Navy Lt.Joel Stewart had an incredibleidea. Saddam Hussein had allthese palaces around the coun-try, all well-stocked with orna-mental fish. Stewart, a Montananative, believed that any placefish could swim, people couldlearn to fish.
Stewart founded the BaghdadSchool of Flyfishing at Camp Vic-tory, Iraq to teach American andallied military personnel how toflyfish. However, he faced aseemingly-insurmountableproblem. Not only was Iraq war-torn, it was in a desert – certainlynot a place where one wouldfind flyfishing gear. He wasn'tsure if he would ever be able toobtain gear, so when he postedthe idea on an outdoors forum,
he was shocked by the response. “I was hoping for a couple of
old used loaner rods and endedup with over a dozen brand-newrods and a passel of reels, newand used,” he recalled.
Over the next few years, theschool held classes and taughtmany soldiers, sailors, airmen,Marines, contractors and Iraqicitizens the joy of flyfishing – inSaddam's former palace ponds(which were large and incrediblywell stocked). The classes wereopen to anyone, regardless ofrank – all they had to do was findan hour or two in their busyschedules.
Stewart eventually returned tothe U.S. Navy Lt. CommanderBill Jones took over the school.I'm not sure who took over afterJones. I'm not sure what hap-pened to the school after that.
I was an outdoors writer at theParkersburg News and Sentinelat the time and I put out a call toreaders to tie flies for the troops.We collected thousands of hand-tied fishing flies (we topped1,000 well-tied flies in the firstfew months) – and mailed themto Iraq - over the next couple ofyears.
We collected flies from dozensof tiers and kept the school sup-plied with not only as many fliesas they could use – they wentthrough flies like crazy – butenough that students of theeight-week-class could have
their own box of flies upon grad-uation.
Many of those flies came fromreaders. Some came from folkson the Wvangler.com Internetmessage board. Of all those peo-ple, however, no one tied moreflies for the war that Williard Mc-Croskey.
McCroskey was 90 at the time,a Richwood native living in Ten-nessee. He grew up in a River-Runs-Through-It-type life, withflyfishing being the ultimateearthly experience for the bodyand soul. As this elderly man,with failing eyesight and fingersthat didn't work as well as theyonce had, tied these flies, it wasa way for him to give a new gen-eration of heroes something henever had.
As World War II drew to itsconclusion, McCroskey sat byAlpine streams teeming withmonster trout – and he was 3,000miles away from his fishingtackle. He knew what it was liketo be in a war far from home andnot being able to fish. Fly-fishingwas a release he wished he couldhave had in his war. It was a gifthe gave to so many serving inIraq.
Jones told me at the time, viae-mail, that the school had tobuy more boxes to hold them alland his flies were well-tied andperfect in color and proportion.
McCroskey's daughter told methat his enthusiasm was an in-
spiration for those living in hissenior-living community. He in-spired many to collect items forcare packages to ship overseas.
He, and the many others whodonated flies to that effort, cer-tainly inspired me. I tied a smallportion of those flies, thoughthey paled in comparison towhat McCroskey and others hadsent.
I lost track of the BaghdadSchool around 2008. I don'tknow if the school wasn't able tocontinue or not. Regardless, I'msure it's gone now, although theWeb site is still up at www.bagh-dadflyfishing.com.
While those who served havesacrificed greatly, we as a popu-lace haven't been asked for thesacrifices we endured in theworld wars. No victory gardens,no sugar rationing, etc. But,when asked, it is amazing whatreaders can do.
We are still fighting anotherwar in Afghanistan. We can stillsupport those troops. We cansupport the ones coming home.How? Of course, we'll need toround up some equipment, butfirst we need somewhere to sendit and I'm looking for sugges-tions. If you know of some fish-ing program in Afghanistan –they actually have real troutthere – I would love to knowabout it.
Otherwise, there are somegreat programs in the United
States for returning veterans –one that comes to mind is Proj-ect Healing Waters, which usesfishing as a way to soothe thetroubled minds of disabled vet-erans. If you know of a worth-while program, please let meknow. Let's find a worthy causeand start tying. I'm not lookingfor places to send money, butsomewhere we can create some-thing with our own hands tomake a difference.
We can make a difference. I'veseen what's possible when fly-tying vices are transformed intoanvils of freedom.

SOUTH CHARLESTON – Twostate record fish were caught re-cently from the Ohio River, ac-cording to Frank Jezioro, Directorof the West Virginia Division ofNatural Resources.
A state record skipjack wascaught by Howard Neal Craig ofPoca, W.Va. Craig caught the 19.1-inch, 2.50-pound fish while fish-ing at the R.C. Byrd Lock andDam tailwater on the Ohio Riverin Mason County April 13, 2012.Craig was using a jig while fishingfrom the shore.
Craig’s skipjack establishes anew West Virginia record forlength, just exceeding the 19.01-inch skipjack that J.R. Coleman
caught last year on the OhioRiver. The state skipjack weightrecord remains a 2.61-pound fishcaught by Steve Skeens from theKanawha River in 2002.
A state record sauger wascaught by David Vance of Port-land, Ohio. Vance caught the22.50-inch, 5.06-pound fish fromthe Ohio River in Jackson Countyon March 20, 2012. He caughtthe record sauger while bass fish-ing using a Mimic Minnow acrossfrom the mouth of Mill Creek.
Vance’s catch establishes a newWest Virginia record for weight.The previous weight record forsauger was a 4.75-pound fishcaught by Steve Powell from the
Ohio River in 1985. Vance’s fish,however, does not best Powell’sfish for length, which retains thelength record for sauger at 23inches.
Anglers who believe that theyhave caught a state record fishshould check the record listing inthe 2012 Fish Regulationsbrochure. The brochure also out-lines the procedure to follow forreporting their catch. This infor-mation is also available online atwww.wvdnr.gov.
