The new Faithful FriendsMemory Gardens is located adja-cent to the existing Haven of RestMemory Gardens in Red House.It opened earlier this month andalready has seen its first petburied there.
“We saw a need in the area forsomething like this,” said BillieHarding, who along with herhusband Chad, own Haven ofRest. “To a lot of people their petsare part of their family.”
And times today are different
than in the past when pets couldbe buried on a family farm.Many families move multipletimes, and as they move if theyburied a pet in the backyard theyare left behind.
“I know in my family, thecemetery is part of our lives,”Harding said. “If something hap-pened to our pet dog my chil-dren wouldn't understandburying it in the backyard. Theywould expect a service and amore permanent resting place.”
The new Faithful FriendsMemory Gardens features 1,800burial lots. The lots are half thesize of a traditional burial lot fora person.

By Kyla AsburyTheWestVirginia RecordCHARLESTON, WV - A Put-
nam County man is suing theGirl Scouts of Black DiamondCouncil for discrimination andwrongful termination of employ-ment.
Nathan M. Gregorich was em-ployed by the defendant fromJuly 1, 2010, until Oct. 4, 2011,according to a complaint filedApril 25 in Kanawha CircuitCourt.
Gregorich claims the termina-tion was discriminatory in that
he was terminated while onleave to care for his injured son.
The termination was also inbreach of the terms and condi-tions of Gregorich's employmentwith the defendant, who failed tofollow its own policies and pro-cedures, which compromise theterms and conditions of his em-ployment, according to the suit.
Gregorich claims as a result ofthe illegal termination of em-ployment, he sustained lostwages, embarrassment, humili-ation and emotional distress.
The defendant terminated
Gregorich's employment in re-taliation for taking vacation andthen unpaid leave to care for hisinjured son who was only 14months old and had sustained aleg fracture and could not attenddaycare during the recovery, ac-cording to the suit.
Gregorich is seeking compen-satory and punitive damageswith pre- and post-judgment in-terest. He is being representedby Scott H. Kaminski.
The case has been assigned toCircuit Judge James C. Stucky.

*****Each BreathWas Silent
For my brother,Rick.Have you ever thought aboutthe affliction of quietafter a death,when the heartbeat of 100cannot muffle the soundof a falling eye-lash,or the irritating toll of the clockas each minute stands still.
Fingernails pile on the carpet,cutting intothose already bruised.Guilt, blame and loss;flashed or veiledin wrinkled pillow eyessee nothingbut there own truth.
There you standunable to breath; chokingon artificial sweeteners,thinkingyou would scream,if you hadn’t eatenthat last secondof silence.Debra J.Harmes Kurth,WV

“For some of the riders, if thisis their first time, to pull up andsee all of the people waving andwelcoming them and to see thatlarge American Flag, it really isspecial,” Maxey said.
Maxey also gave credit to theHurricane based West VirginiaStar Touring and Riding Chapter197 Club for hosting and help-ing organize the annual Run ForThe Wall stop in PutnamCounty.

“The riders will stop at theschool in Rainelle,” Maxey said.
“That was an original stop onthe Run For The Wall and wehave parents there who werestudents when riders stoppedthere before and who now havetheir children there as stu-dents.”

Bing Brothers ReceiveWV’s Highest Folklife Honor
CHARLESTON - Gov. Earl RayTomblin has announced the ap-pointment ofTeaysValley lawyer,J. Robert Leslie, as Circuit Judgefor the 29th Judicial Circuit serv-ing Putnam County.
Leslie will fill the vacancy cre-ated by the retirement of TheHonorable O.C. Spaulding.
"Judge Spaulding's contribu-tions to our judiciary were sin-cerely appreciated and it waswith a heavy heart that I ac-cepted his resignation," saidTomblin. "I'm pleased Bob hasaccepted this opportunity toserve the people of PutnamCounty as Circuit Judge."
A graduate of Marshall Univer-
sity and Ohio Northern Univer-sity College of Law, Leslie hasbuilt a respected law practiceand has given back to the com-munity over the years by provid-ing pro bono legal services.
Leslie has over 18 years of ex-perience in the courtroom and,for the past 11 years, has prac-ticed with Tyree, Embree &Leslie. Over the course of his ca-reer, Leslie has tried numerouscivil and criminal cases and hasbeen active in community ef-forts.
A Democrat, Leslie recentlywon his party’s nomination forthe 29th Judicial Circuit in theMay Primary. He will face Re-
publican Joe Reeder in the No-vember General Election.
Leslie is married to Amy(Hensley) Leslie, and they residein Hurricane.
Tomblin appoints Leslie to fill judicial vacancy
meeting on the site of the newanimal shelter on State Route 62inWinfield for contractors inter-ested in bidding on the project.The site of the new shelter is onthe Eleanor side of the RossBooth Memorial Bridge at Win-field.
All bids for the project mustthen be received by 10 a.m. onJune 21.
The Putnam County Commis-sion voted in February to pro-ceed with construction of a newanimal shelter to replace the ex-isting 27-year-old facility inWin-field.
At the time it was estimatedthat the new shelter would cost$2.3 million, but that price couldfluctuate based on the bids re-ceived from potential contrac-tors for the project.
“Let's keep our fingers crossedthat we receive a lot of bids,” saidPutnam County Commissioner
Joe Haynes, who along with hiswife Karen, has been a big sup-porter of the drive to build a newanimal shelter.
As envisioned by the architec-tural firm Silling Associates, thenew animal shelter will feature46 kennels for dogs, nearly dou-ble the capacity of the currentshelter, and will also feature asystem that will keep the kennelseasier to clean.
The new facility will also fea-ture inside and outdoor “bond-ing areas” where those looking toadopt a dog or cat will have timeto play with the animal. The fa-cility will also have two en-trances, one for the publiclooking to adopt an animal, anda separate entrance where ani-mals are brought into the build-ing.
The new shelter will also havespace on sight for veterinariansto come in and perform simple
procedures on the animals. Cur-rently, dogs and cats have to besent to Barboursville for spayingand neutering and other proce-dures.
For puppies and kittens, thenew shelter will also feature “petstore” type displays near thefront of the building allowingthem a greater chance of beingadopted.
In addition, the new animalshelter will feature a larger park-ing area than the existing facility.
Haynes said that the countyhas $1 million set aside in itsbuilding fund toward the projectand the remainder will be fi-nanced. The county has bud-geted $85,000 for debt service forthe new shelter in next year'sbudget. Given historically low in-terest rates, Haynes said that thecounty should be in good posi-tion for financing the remainderof the project cost.
Haynes added that there hasalso been a great deal of interestfrom local businesses in donat-ing materials toward the project,which could also lower its overallcost.
Once construction begins,Haynes estimated it could take10-12 months for the new animalshelter to be completed.
“Hopefully by next spring orsummer we will be in there,” hesaid.

RECIPE OF THEWEEK: SHELTER FROM PAGE 1
Hundreds took advantage offree screenings and informationat the inaugural Putnam CountyHealth Fair, which was held atValley Park in Hurricane on May12.
The event was a cooperativeeffort between Putnam Countyand the city of Hurricane. Theevent offered health screenings,vision and dental information,allergy screenings, safety sup-plies as well as information anddemonstrations of health-careservices offered locally.
Hurricane City Manager BenNewhouse said he and other or-ganizers were surprised at thegreat turnout of vendors.
“We got together about 10months ago to organize some-thing that would raise healthawareness. Before we knew it,we had 20 vendors, then 30, and
finally 50 vendors and this wassomething that we were able toput up for virtually no cost,” hesaid.
Newhouse said many peoplearen't aware of the numerousoptions available locally.
“Putnam County has a lot ofservices here and this gives peo-ple a chance to find out aboutthem. It’s a way to educate peo-ple about health-care aware-ness,” Newhouse said.
There were inflatable playareas for the children and nu-merous services being offeredfree of charge, such as acupunc-ture and chiropractic adjust-ment. The Putnam CountySheriff's Office and Hurricanecity police created fingerprintidentification cards for children.CAMC also had its Healthnethelicopter available for anyonewho wanted a closer look.
Geoffrey Vest of theCharleston Veteran’s CenterOutreach program distributedinformation to veterans about
what resources might be avail-able to them and what is offeredlocally.
“There is a need to get bene-
fits information and general in-formation out there becausethere are a lot of things that peo-ple don’t know. I’ve been an-
swering questions about enroll-ment, giving contact informa-tion for the hospital inHuntington and the clinic inKanawha City and making suretheir eligibility stays current,” hesaid.
Among the vendors was theCabell-Wayne Association forthe Blind, which had many vi-sual aids to demonstrate. Theassociation helps those visually-impaired obtain needed equip-ment, said Lori Spears, whomanned the association's tableat the event.
“We want to reach out to ourneighbors and present informa-tion about eye health and pre-vention of vision loss. We'vebeen demonstrating vision aids,like talking clocks and large-button phones. A lot of peopledon't know that these exist,” shesaid.

The Putnam Standard Outdoor News Tuesday,May22,2012–Page7
I never worry about the bears.The worst things outdoors comein small packages.
When I'm fishing, I keep myeyes constantly peeled for what Iconsider three biggest threats –yellow jackets, poison ivy andvipers.
As a child, I was severely aller-gic to stings. I took shots forabout 10 years to build up animmunity, but even though myallergy is no-longer life-threat-
ening, I don't like being stung.It's no fun whatsoever, and onceyou've been stung by a yellowjacket, all of its buddies want apiece of the action as well. Yel-low jackets ruthlessly defendtheir underground nests. Theyhave to, because otherwise, aground nest is extremely vulner-able. The only predator theycan't fight off – that I'm aware of– is a skunk, which is a main rea-son I am so fond of our cute,stinky friends.
A yellow jacket is small, notmuch bigger than a small pieceof candy, plus they move aroundquite a bit, so they are very hardto see. To make matters worse,the yellow jackets are one ofmany flying insects that swarmclose to the ground.
What I look for to identifythem is their specific pattern ofmovement. Most of your flyingbugs fly around aimlessly. Notthe yellow jacket. They leavetheir nests usually by flyingstraight up, then turn and gowherever it is yellow jackets gowhen they leave the nest.
What I try to notice is thatunique yellow jacket movement.It's not so noticeable with a sin-
gle yellow jacket, but as oneafter another leaves the nest, it'sa pattern of movement you candetect if you are looking for it.Anything flying straight up or ata fairly steep angle – or if I seeseveral insects flying from a cen-tral location, it will warrant asecond look. You'll usually findthem in grass – where they havetaken over an old animal bur-row, etc., but they live in a vari-ety of places. If I'm standingalong a riverbank, I keep awatchful eye out for little holesin the ground to see if any yellowjackets are flying out of it.
This may seem like overkill,but I've not been stung – whilefishing anyway – in about 10years. Mind you, I probably justjinxed myself by writing that inthis column.
Poison ivy is the most virulentplant known to man. I ab-solutely hate it. Some have animmunity to it – I'm not one ofthose people – but it affects agreat many people who ventureoutdoors. Unless I'm wearingshorts, I generally don't paymuch attention to it, unless I'mabout to put my hands or feetsomewhere, or plan to sit down.
If you spend any time outdoors,you should be able to identifypoison ivy. If you stare at one ofthe plants long enough, you'llrecognize the shapes – threeleaves arranged in a triangularpattern. The plant often growsas a vine, but not always. Thereis a similar harmless plant – theVirginia creeper – that has fiveleaves.
Poison ivy oil is extremely po-tent and it takes very little of it tocause a nasty, lasting rash. Itdoes take a few minutes for it toseep into your skin, so if youwash with soap and water im-mediately after exposure, youcan often prevent the rash.Don't lean against a tree withpoison ivy, even if you thinkyour clothes will protect you. Iactually had poison ivy oil on ashirt once (I leaned against atree) and I developed a severerash from oil that had seepedthrough the clothing. Even afterwashing the shirt, this oil causednew rashes when I wore it daysand weeks later. Only after I re-alized the problem and washedthe shirt with hot water could Iwear it normally again.
Snakes are very hard to see.
The forests and streambanks arefull of various things – sticks,grass, trees, leaves, bugs – it's anoverload of information for thebrain to process. As remarkableas the human brain is, it simplycan't find a proverbial snake in ahaystack at a casual glance.
Most snakes won't hurt you.Even the venomous viperswould rather leave you alone.Usually, they'll hear or feel thevibrations of you coming andscatter by the time you arrive. Ialways look closely at where Iput my feet and hands. I look atwhere my feet will be next andnever put them someplace Ican't see, such as the other sideof a log. I don't necessarily lookfor a snake itself, but shapes andpatterns, such as a circle outlineof a coiled snake or a straightline of a sunning snake or move-ment, especially movement ingrass. That said, actualsnakebites are very rare. I'veonly personally known one per-son who has been bitten. It wasa copperhead.

The WVU Extension Serviceand the WV Natural Resource andConservation Service (NRCS) willhost a “pasture walk” at the farmof NRCS Soil Conservationist’sLuke Hunter on Wednesday, May30th from 10:00 AM to noon. Wewill examine Hunter’s rotationalgrazing system which can savefarmers time and money. By better
management of his grasses (longerrest periods) and cattle (properstocking density), Hunter is able toimprove overall pasture productiv-ity. Longer rest periods increaseplant root mass and thereby im-proves utilization of soil nutrients.Rotational grazing benefits theland, restores soil health and dra-matically reduces runoff and ero-
sion. The net result is more prof-itable and productive pastures—and better water qualitydownstream. Overall feed costsare reduced. Directions to theHunter farm: from I-77 exit 138turn East on Rt. 33 toward Spencerproceed to the main intersection ofRoute 33 and Route 21 in down-town Ripley. Go north on Rt. 21
