Thought for the week: And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. Genesis 1:29 (KJV) Spring is officially here, the skies are blue and the sun is warmer. Those lawnmowers have been humming for two weeks now. Larry the cable guy says ’GIT- ER- DONE ‘… and it’s time for something else too! This time of year, my Mom always said, it’s time to pick the creasy greens. I was around 9 years old, we had to walk to the end of the farm bottom, (two city blocks), cross over the swinging bridge to the upper high bottom, to find and pick, the creasy greens. There she had in hand, a
brown paper bag (of which are few now) and the kitchen paring knife. We walked and she spotted and snipped the green leafy delicacies, sometimes she could not fill the bag, but, if it had been a good wet year, you had several pickens of this green spring tonic that was supposed to give you energy and vigor for the year! The health benefits of dark green leafy vegetables are probably the most concentrated source of nutrition of any food (according to health advisers), they have all the minerals, iron, and calcium - just too many vitamins to list. So maybe that’s the reason God said, I have given you every herb bearing seed. Thorns also and thistles shall bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field. Genesis 3:18 Nowwwwwww, here I am writ-
The Putnam Standard ing you this story, thinking maybe I have my months wrong, after discussing this picking of the creasy greens with sister Carolyn, she says you pick the creasy green in early March, even if the snow is still on the ground - that her in-laws once picked barefoot, while the snow was still a lightly cover. Anyway God intended for you to eat your greens no matter how you get them. May is the most beautiful month of the year. Emerald is the birthstone for the month (green). May is observances and monthly health awareness month. You have Mothers Day, Sunday May 12TH. Armed Forces Day May 18th Memorial Day May 27th The most famous horse race in the United States, takes place the first Saturday in May - The Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs, Louisville, Ky. Enjoy this month of May, and all the summer months ahead! Prayer: Our Father, we thank you for the change of seasons, and everything green, you send us in this world. Amen.

The wreck occurred about one mile from Poca Town Hall. Crews used the Jaws of Life to pull the two out of the battered vehicle. The single-vehicle-accident shut down portions of WV 62 for more than one hour. The passengers were rushed to CAMC Hospital for observation. No major injuries were reported. “The cause of the accident remains unknown at this time,” said Putnam Deputy X.
