MILTON – The 27th annualWest Virginia Pumpkin Festivalkicked off on Thursday morningin Milton under blue skies, andwith only a hint of cool fallweather in the air.

Several hundred area elemen-tary school and pre-school stu-dents came to the Festival onThursday, and helped providecolorful decorations for the Festi-val by decorating pumpkins thatwere to be put on displaythroughout the four-day event.

Fairgoers were also invited totake in apple butter making, lyesoap making, sorghum molassesmaking and even a chain sawartist. There was also a Civil Warencampment where visitorscould learn more about that timein our nation's history from wellversed re-enactors in perioddress.

In the midst of all of the fun ac-tivities at the Festival, one displaythat is new to the event this year,allows fairgoers to a chance forsilent reflection and remem-brance.

New to the Festival this year is

The Wall that Heals - a half-scalereplica of the Vietnam VeteransMemorial in Washington, D.C.

TheWall that Heals was createdin 1996 and travels the countryspreading the word about theword about the Memorial's heal-

ing legacy. The wall is approxi-mately 250 feet in length andmade a nice addition to the Festi-val this year.

Accompanying the Wall is amobile museum inside of a largetrailer. The exterior walls of the

trailer are open and display pho-tos of service members whosenames are found on the wall,along with letters and other me-mentos left at the Wall in Wash-

SUBMITTED REPORTCHARLESTON – West Vir-

ginia Division of Forestry (DOF)officials say the upcomingthree-day Columbus Day week-end is the perfect opportunityto see peak foliage in a varietyof areas of the Mountain State.

Leaves are changing quicklyand adding breathtaking colorto the already gorgeous sceneryof the higher elevations. Lowerelevations are coming alongnicely too, so even if you don’tget to the highest peaks, youshould see color wherever yougo.

Dolly Sods Wilderness andSpruce Knob were reported tobe at peak earlier this week.Good color may remainthrough the weekend. SpruceKnob was reported to have anespecially colorful display ofreds, oranges and yellows.

The upper elevations of Ran-dolph and Pocahontas countiesare expected to peak this week-end, including perennial fo-liage hotspots like CheatMountain and Shavers Moun-tain. Foresters recommenddrives from Huttonsville alongU.S. Route 219 to Marlinton oralong U.S. Route 250 from Hut-tonsville across Cheat Moun-tain through Durbin andBartow and to the Virginia stateline. The Highland Scenic High-way also is a recommendeddrive this weekend.

If you’re going to the Moun-tain State Forest Festival inElkins, the lower areas aroundthe town won’t peak for another7-10 days, but the higher eleva-tions around the town shouldbe very colorful. Randolph andPocahontas counties are cur-rently at 75 percent peak.

Greenbrier, Nicholas andWebster counties are at 70 per-cent peak. Foresters reportpeak for the eastern portion ofNicholas is very close and thatmaples are especially colorfulthere this year. State Route 55from Muddlety to KennisonMountain is recommended asis State Route 20 from Cowen toRock Cave. Point Mountain inWebster County is reported tobe beautiful, but not quite atpeak.

Higher elevations of TuckerCounty are at 80 percent peakwith a variety of reds, orangesand yellows. State Route 32from Davis to Harman is a rec-ommended drive. Color in Pre-ston County along U.S. Route50 toward Tucker County is saidto be outstanding. Audra StatePark in Barbour County is re-ported to have 30 percent peakcolor. Tygart Lake State Park inTaylor County is reported to beexceptionally beautiful thistime of year.

Eastern Monongalia County’smaples are showing off withgreat yellow hues, adding to the

already beautiful color in thatarea. Coopers Rock State Forestis a sure bet for good color andplenty of recreational opportu-nities.

Foresters in Wetzel Countysay if yellow is your favoritecolor then you are in luck thisweek because most of thecounty’s yellow poplar and wal-nut leaves are turning. Addthose yellow hues to the or-anges of the maples and thereds of the Virginia creeper andyou’ve got colorful drives, espe-cially on State Route 2 along theOhio River. Foresters also rec-ommend a drive along StateRoute 7 to Hundred for Hun-dredFest on Saturday, Oct. 6.State Route 88 has good colorthrough West Liberty all theway to Oglebayfest/OhioCounty Fair where the DOF andSmokey Bear will be on hand toanswer your forestry questions.A drive along State Route 8 pastTomlinson Run State Park inHancock County is recom-mended for good color.

A drive along U.S. Route 50from the Mineral County line toGormania is recommended inGrant County, where higher el-evations are 70 percent peak.And not to be forgotten are theEastern Panhandle counties ofBerkeley, Jefferson and Morgan.Understory species in cool val-leys are showing an array ofgold and yellow, Virginia

creeper is bright red and dog-wood leaves are purple and thetrees have bright red berries.Red maples are showing colorsalong roads, especially in someof the higher elevations. Mor-gan County foresters say youmust stop at the PanoramaOverlook along State Route 9on your way to the BerkeleySprings Apple Butter Festivalon Saturday, Oct. 6.

Foliage in the state’s westerncounties is coming along nicely.Jackson, Pleasants, Roane,Tyler, Wirt and Wood countiesare at 40 percent peak. Drivesalong County Route 21/OldU.S. Route 21 from Kenna toRockport and on State Route 16from St. Marys to Ellenboro arerecommended. Foresters alsosuggest a drive along U.S.Route 50 through Wood, Ritchieand Doddridge counties forsome nice early color. In WirtCounty, be sure to take StateRoute 14 into Elizabeth for WirtCounty Pioneer Day on Satur-day, Oct. 6.

Don’t forget, if you attendthis weekend’s West VirginiaPumpkin Festival in Milton, besure to stop by the DOF’s ex-hibit and say hello to SmokeyBear and his forester friends.

SUBMITTED REPORTTEAYS VALLEY -- Seven out of

10 families don't have enough in-surance, and 58 percent of themsay they would not be unable tomeet expenses if something hap-pened to a primary wage earner.

Tom Midkiff, a State Farmagent with offices inWinfield, re-vealed these and other factsabout life insurance to the Put-nam Rotary Club at the group’sOct. 2 meeting.

"Are any surprises coming upin your family?" he asked.

"I'm not here to sell insur-ance," he said, "but many peopledon't even know how much in-surance they have. I'm here tomake you think.

"Think about your life: Howmuch has changed in the last fiveyears, 10 years. How many havemarried, changed jobs, had kids,grand kids?

"How long has it been sinceyou sat down and reviewed whatyou have?What kind of policy doyou have? Is it a term policy? Is ita permanent policy? Is it some-thing you have through work?

"Why did you buy life insur-ance?You bought it to protect thepeople that you love. You want tomake sure that when you're notaround, that they're still takencare of. Is it the right amount?

"A term policy for a 30-year-old is about half what a perma-nent policy would be forsomeone the same age. And peo-ple buy them for specific timeframe needs: They have a mort-gage. They bought a car. Theywant to make sure their childrenare cared for.

"Only a little over 2 percent ofterm policies ever pay out," Mid-kiff said. "[A term policy is] for atemporary need. And term insur-ance as you get older -- into yoursixties and seventies -- it gets soexpensive you can't afford it."

Permanent insurance grows invalue and often is a part of estateplanning.

"Does your family know wherethe insurance papers are located?State regulators estimate that$1.0 billion is sitting on insurancecompany books that is owed asdeath benefits. They don't know

the person has died, or the bene-ficiary can't be located.

"Everyone needs to reviewtheir policies or find someonewho understands insurance toreview it with them," he said.

A Paul Harris Fellow in Rotary,Tom Midkiff was president of thePutnam Club in 2008-09.

Famous Shay No. 5 engineused to restore brook troutspawning areas

It 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, justas 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 culvertsto 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 of mod-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 streamswere 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 haslong 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,WestVirginia 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 seasonopens Oct. 13. The bear season isa split season that runs until Nov.17 and again from Dec. 3 to Dec.31.

Special stamps are requiredand 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 bechecked within 24 hours after killand before any part of the bear istransported more than 75 milesfrom the point of kill.

Outdoors folks have alwaysbeen a major voting block and astumbling block for many out-of-touch politicians trying to win ared state of good ol' boys – likeWest Virginia.

Remember when John Kerrytried 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, Clintonat least looked passable for aduck hunter.

This time it's different. Theoutdoors 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 prettyobvious 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 sayabout 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 in Montana 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 in Michigan, 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. In Massachusetts,I was able to work with 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.
