HURRICANE – The new sprayground at Hurricane City Park has opened to the public. The new water attraction opened on Friday, May 25, and is now open seven days a week. “We think there were 500 people there on Saturday,” said Hurricane City Manager Ben Newhouse of the first weekend the sprayground was open. “Other days there have been 70, 80, 90 people there. It is a nice addition to the park.” The sprayground is designed for children under the age of 14. It features a variety of fixtures that spray water to the delight of its patrons. On a recent hot and humid afternoon, nearly 100 children were running around and laughing and playing at the sprayground. “It really is intended for small kids,” Newhouse said. “Older kids and adults have swimming pools and the Wave Pool, but this is something for younger kids.” The sprayground does not have a lifeguard on duty, and Newhouse said that the city asks

MISSION FROM PAGE 1 Bowles Rice law firm represents several Japanese companies doing business in the state. In meetings with individual companies and through networking receptions in Tokyo and Nagoya, Tomblin and the delegation members will promote West Virginia to firms representing the state's target
industries. These include Japanese manufacturers of automotive components, chemicals, polymers, aerospace metalworking components, and other sectors. International companies that have invested in the state employ more than 20,000 West Virginians. More than half of those
jobs are in the manufacturing sector. Wheeling-Nisshin was established in Follansbee in 1986 and was the first Japanese investment in West Virginia. Since the West Virginia Japan Office opened in Nagoya in 1990, an additional 20 Japanese companies have invested in the state.
Today those Japanese firms employ approximately 2,300 West Virginians. "West Virginia has a strong track record with the Japanese companies doing business here," said Secretary of Commerce Keith Burdette. "They have found West Virginia to be a good place to do business and
always are willing to assist us in sharing their experiences with other potential investors." In addition to investment in the state, Japan is West Virginia's second largest market for non-coal exports. In 2011 the state's exports to Japan totaled more than $420 million.

the left at the far end of the parking lot after you cross the bridge leading into Hurricane City Park. The sprayground is open Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on Sunday from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.
In the near future, Newhouse said that the city will begin renting the sprayground for private parties from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. The rental fee has not been set yet. The sprayground will be open
throughout the summer and perhaps into September depending on the weather, Newhouse said. For more information about the sprayground, contact the city of Hurricane at (304) 562-5896.

DNR searching for old Wonderful West Virginia magazines SOUTH CHARLESTON – Since its inception in 1937, when it was called West Virginia Conservation, readers have treasured the monthly issues of Wonderful West Virginia magazine. Many people have saved back issues for generations. Now, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources, which publishes Wonderful West Virginia, is asking for help in finding copies of about 65 specific issues to be included in the magazine’s official archives. “People tell us that their dad kept every issue of the magazine; we just can’t throw them out,” said Mike Bryant with WVDNR. Noting that most issues have been archived on the
www.wvdnr.gov website under the link “WWV Magazine Archives,” Bryant is issuing a request for help from subscribers. “We’d like them to look in those boxes of treasures stuffed under beds and in attic corners for older issues of Wonderful West Virginia Magazine. The digital archive requires scanning of an actual magazine issue and there are several issues we just don’t have to complete the entire archive. About 900 issues have been published over the past 75 years. We’re hoping families that have held on to the magazine throughout the years are willing to part with specific months that we’re searching for so we can complete our digital files.”
Wonderful West Virginia magazine shares stories, information and images of the Mountain State. The photography in the magazine illustrates what words sometimes fail to describe – the beauty found in the Mountain State. Beginning as West Virginia Conservation from 1937 -1967, in March 1967 the magazine was retitled Outdoor West Virginia and retained that name until January 1970, when the name changed to Wonderful West Virginia and it is still printed under that name today. Individuals wishing to help the WVDNR to complete the digital archives by donating missing issues may contact Mike Bryant at
324 4th Avenue, South Charleston WV 25303 or email mike.d.bryant@wv.gov. Wonderful West Virginia is published monthly by the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources.

Pastor seeks court appointed attorney to challenge allegations By Lawrence Smith www.wvrecord.com
WINFIELD - A Putnam County pastor is once again challenging a family law judge's actions. Rev. Art Hage filed a writ of prohibition against Putnam Family Law Judge William H. "Chip" Watkins III on May 23. In his writ, Hage is asking Putnam Circuit Judge Phillip M. Stowers, who has been assigned the case, to halt Watkins from going forward with efforts to put him in jail for his alleged violation of a domestic violence protective order filed against him by his estranged wife, Lillian, until he has
the benefit of legal counsel. According to the writ, Hage on May 1 received notice that a hearing on a contempt motion filed by Lillian's attorney, Christine Wallace with Legal Aid of West Virginia, would be heard before Watkins on May 22. In the motion, Wallace accused Art of, among other things, violating a provision of the Dec. 14, 2010 domestic violence order that prohibited him from discussing with anyone Lillian's medical conditions. Wallace alleges Art violated the order when he discussed Lillian's mental health with Travis Bradley, and his wife, Jessica, and
his former neighbors on April 12 while moving items out of his home on Kanawha Ave. in Hurricane. That same day, Art filed a petition asking the court to prohibit enforcement of the protective order, which Watkins, as part of bifurcating the Hage's divorce, "permanently" extended until Dec. 30, 2030. Hage maintains the provision of the protective order prohibiting him discussing Lillian's mental health violates his First Amendment rights. In his May 23 writ, Hage asked that he be appointed an attorney to represent him in challenging
the contempt petition. He cited three decisions rendered by the state Supreme Court - SER Graves v. Daugherty, Smoot v. Dingess and Moore v. Hall - that held anyone facing potential incarceration in either a criminal or civil case is entitled to an attorney. The cases are ones cited by John Kemet Shabazz-El in a writ he filed in February against Marion Family Law Judge Amy Swisher to prohibit contempt proceedings against him from continuing until he was appointed an attorney. In granting Shabazz-El's writ on April 9, Marion Circuit Judge David Janes also
cited the state Constitution that said "any court proceeding that constrains or potentially constrains a defendant's liberty requires the court to appoint the defendant an attorney if he cannot afford one." Despite not formally filing his writ until after the May 22 hearing, Hage verbally asked Watkins to consider it. Though he refused, Watkins allowed Hage to leave the hearing a free man. As of presstime, a hearing on Hage's writ had not been scheduled. Putnam Circuit Court case number: 12-C-163

Rotary Club learns about work of state Chamber of Commerce TEAYS VALLEY -- The West Virginia Chamber of Commerce is the voice of business in the Legislature and with state and federal regulatory agencies, Thomas Boggs told the Putnam Rotary Club at the group’s meeting on Tuesday. Boggs, on staff since 1997, is Vice President of the Chamber and its chief fiscal officer. "The Chamber is a proactive leader to support job retention and to advise in matters of business policy," he said. "The business community has to be a positive force to enhance the quality of life. "We feel that we serve best as insurance against laws and regulations that stifle business profitability. Our member companies are kept informed on legislative and regulatory matters and the impact on business." Armando Benincasa, accompanied Boggs on his visit with the Putnam group. An attorney with Steptoe & Johnson, who often represents the West Virginia Chamber, he once worked with the state Department of Environmental Protection. "DEP has a different mind set," Benincasa said. "When you develop things on paper in an

become an annual "audience" with the US Environmental Protection Agency at its Region III office in Philadelphia. "We provide questions ahead of time, and people are provided for response." Issues include volatile topics such as mountaintop removal, mercury contamination and changes in the oil and gas industry. There is concern with the perception of an anti-business bias in the judicial system in the state, a perception which discourages investment and makes for jobs lost as businesses locate elsewhere. Benincasa referenced the class action in Roane County in 2007 over natural gas royalties which resulted in a record $405 million judgment against Columbia Natural Resources. The verdict included $270 in punitive damages. The Supreme Court of Appeals declined to review the verdict, and CNA cancelled plans to build its eastern division headquarters in Charleston. "The West Virginia Chamber is the largest business advocacy group in the state," says Boggs. "We have members in 55 counties. Our members employ half of the state's work force."
The Chamber has six standing committees and several ad hoc working groups. The committee on environment includes about 200 members, with "a core working group of about 30 who do the yeoman's part in reviewing legislation and regulations." Much of the work is done in subcommittees on air pollution, water supply and waste disposal. "The environmental committee wants to provide leadership in establishment and implementation of sound policies," he said. "We want policies that do not put us at a disadvantage with our neighboring states, that still protect the environment, but make an even playing field for West Virginia businesses. "We want policies which protect jobs and benefit the quality of life in West Virginia."

Gar are Survivors
David Payne Sr. Column by David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
They look like dinosaurs and, in a way, they are. Longnose gar are a common site for any fisherman, they look like small logs submerged just below the water surface. Sometimes, they will take a lure, but rarely are they hooked. It's hard to get a hook into their bony jaws and the gar is such a bony fish, people rarely eat them. I say “rarely” because there is somebody, I'm sure, who eats pretty much everything, but I have never heard of anybody eating one. Some people consider them a nuisance and kill them out of hand with the assumption that gar eat too many gamefish. However, they mostly dine on minnows. Their jaws are too narrow to eat anything large enough that you would want to catch it. In the old days – and I hope
people are above this now – many gars caught had their jaws smashed and thrown back in the water to starve. They are fascinating creatures and their effect on gamefish is minimal. In fact, they have coexisted with gamefish for millions of years. The site of gar lazily hanging out just below the water's surface was a sight as common to dinosaurs as it is to us. When dinosaurs ruled the land, the gar dominated West Virginia waters. The only fish that could actually take on a gar – and I've never seen this happen, mind you – the muskellunge, has not been around nearly as long. I grew up on the bank of the Elk River in Kanawha County. It was a place where everybody fished, partly because we had this fabulous river at a doorstep and partly because there was nothing else to do. I spent much of my childhood fishing and watching gar lazily drift by. You can learn a lot about animals by watching them do nothing. I was amazed by their toughness and their lack of fear. Fish are naturally skittish, but gars have no reason to be. After all, they survived the mass-extinction that took out the dinosaurs. They are survivors, not only obviously tougher than dinosaurs; they remain a top-of-the-foodchain fish in our waters today. My first day of school at Herbert Hoover High School, I sneaked out of orientation with some friends and walked down
to the bank of the Elk River behind the school. There were three gar hovering motionless at the surface of the water. One of my friends picked up a large log – he was a very large, strong boy – and heaved it out in the river between them. They rose and fell with the wake of the log, but didn't flinch. Gar are fearless. You have to respect that. Usually when you see a gar, it's at the surface, doing seemingly nothing. At least it looks like they are doing nothing, but they are actually engaged in one of the core activities that separates us from fish – breathing air. That's right, gar breathe air. I'm not making this up. Gar don't always breathe air. They also have gills for dissolving oxygen from water, like all other fish, but their ability to breathe air is one of the secrets to this fish's survival throughout the epochs. In a situation where oxygen levels are low and other fish die en masse, the gar can get as much as 70 percent of its oxygen from the air. The world-wide catastrophe that killed all the dinosaurs was no match for the gar. Not only can it survive low oxygen levels by breathing air, it can also shrug off extremely high temperatures that would kill most fish. As long as he stays wet and the water isn't boiling, a gar will be just fine. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.

Fishing Report Beech Fork: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. Crappie fishing is really starting to pick up, with many nice fish being caught around woody structure. Bass are in their spawning areas and should be aggressively defending their nests. Channel catfish can be caught throughout the lake on chicken livers and cut-bait. Hybrid striped bass and white bass can be caught using white lures. Call (304) 525-4831 for more information. East Lynn: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. Bass will be holding near logs, stumps and fish attracting brush piles. Musky will be found near bush piles and fallen trees. Channel catfish and flatheads are abundant in the lake and can be caught with a variety of baits. Crappie fishing is picking up, try around standing timber or trees that have fallen into the water. A few walleye have been caught in the lake and tailwater. For more information, call (304) 849-9861. R.D. Bailey: Spotted bass can be found along drop-offs and points extending into the lake at this time of the year and some of the state's largest spotted bass have come from this lake. Good baits are plastic jigs, live shad, or crayfish. Hybrid striped bass are also being caught. Best baits are lures such as rattletraps, spoons, or white/chartreuse jigs. For more information call (304) 664-9587. Stephens Lake: Lake is very clear. Bass anglers are successfully using soft plastics and small crankbaits. The DNR recently stocked channel catfish fingerlings into the lake, which helps maintain a year-round catfish fishery avail-
able to the public. Try your favorite catfish bait or lure for success. Livers and nightcrawlers work well for catfish bait, as do a variety of paste and prepared type baits offered at sporting goods stores. Many find success using the ‘dippin sponge’ method, fishing it either beneath a bobber or on the bottom using a basic three way river rig. Another trick is to catch small baitfish using a piece of a worm, etc., then cut them up and use them as fresh bait. Many times this will out-fish other bait types due to its freshness, be sure to give it a try. If you use a game fish (bluegill, bass) as bait, you must include it in your daily creel limit. Lower Ohio and Kanawha rivers - As the water in the tailwaters begins to clear the fishing for sauger, walleye, white bass and hybrid striped bass will start to pick up. Jigs with minnows could provide some excellent catches; if artificial baits are your preference white and chartreuse are good colors to try. Blue, flathead and channel catfish activity is picking up as the water continues to warm. Guyandotte, Coal, Poca, Elk, and Mud rivers - These streams should be clearing. Musky streams: are expected to be fishable this weekend and muskies are quite active. Hot spots this time of year include areas both upstream and downstream of fast moving water. Musky anglers should try medium to large lures. Middle Island Creek, the major streams in the Hughes River system, the Elk River and the Little Kanawha River are good area musky waters.
Thousands of Catfish stocked into Ponds Statewide By David Payne Sr. davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com
The West Virginia Division of Natural Resources recently stocked thousands of catchablesize channel catfish in park ponds throughout the state, including some in Putnam and Cabell counties. Barboursville Lake in Cabell County and Hurricane Lake in Putnam County are among the small ponds that have received catfish. Others stocked are: Anawalt Lake (McDowell), Berwind Lake (McDowell), Cacapon State Park Lake (Morgan), Cedar Creek State Park Lake (Gilmer), Chief Logan
State Park Lake (Logan), Conaway Run Lake (Tyler), Coopers Rock Lake (Monongalia), Edwards Run Pond (Hampshire), French Creek Pond (Upshur), Handley Pond (Pocahontas), , Indian Rock Lake (Nicholas), Krodel Lake (Mason), Laurel Lake (Mingo), Little Beaver State Park Lake (Raleigh), Mason Lake (Monongalia), Mountwood Lake (Wood), North Bend State Park Pond (Ritchie), Pendleton Lake (Tucker), Pipestem State Park Lake (Summers), Tomlinson Run State Park Lake (Hancock), Wallback Lake (Clay), and Wirt County Farm Pond. Also, 400 tagged channel catfish have been stocked into eight statepark lakes, including: Cacapon State Park Lake; Cedar Creek State
Park Lake; Chief Logan State Park Lake; Little Beaver State Park Lake; North Bend State Park Pond; Pipestem State Park Lake; Tomlinson Run State Park Lake; and Pendleton Lake at Blackwater Falls State Park. Anyone who catches a tagged catfish – and reports the catch will receive a reward of either a ride to Whittaker Station at Cass Scenic Railroad or a ride to Blennerhassett Island on the sternwheeler, The Island Belle. Anglers who catch a tagged fish are asked to return the tag or tag number along with information on the date of capture, if the fish was kept or released, and the name and address of the angler to WVDNR, 2311 Ohio Ave, Parkersburg, WV 26101.
Anglers also can call in the information (304-420-4550) or provide the information via e-mail dnrfishtags@wv.gov . The information is used to evaluate the success of stocking programs and helps the DNR understand how long fish remain in the water before they are caught, as well as whether the fish are harvested and released as well as obtaining other important data, said Chris O'Bara, fish biologist. “Evaluations of the stocking program indicate that anglers catch these catfish throughout the summer and into early fall, and most release the fish for others to enjoy,” O’Bara said. The DNR also stocks blue catfish on the Ohio River, where biologists
will be conducting a survey of anglers through October 20. The survey is part of a multi-state program to gain an understanding of how anglers are using the fishery. Biologists will be conducting surveys on a vast stretch of the river from where Ohio, West Virginia and Pennsylvania meet and downriver to Kentucky's border with Indiana. A West Virginia fishing license is required for anyone age 15 and older except for the free fishing days scheduled June 9 and 10. Also, residents who turn age 65 after January 1, 2012, are required to purchase a Senior Lifetime License. Contact David Payne Sr. at davidpayne@theputnamstandard.com.
