SUBMITTED REPORTSOUTH CHARLESTON – The

fall wild turkey hunting season inWest Virginia opens October 13in selected counties.

The West Virginia Division ofNatural Resources (DNR) pre-dicts the wild turkey harvest thisfall will be similar to the 2011 fallhunting season, when hunterstook 1,186 turkeys in 33 counties.This prediction is based on cur-rent mast conditions and wildturkey brood reports.

“This year’s mast crop is spottywith some areas having abun-dant production and some areaswith scarce mast conditions,”said Curtis I. Taylor, chief of the

DNR Wildlife Resources Section.“The mast conditions will havewild turkey flocks spread outacross the landscape, but hunterswilling to scout or walk shouldhave no problem locating flocksin areas of abundant mast.”

A total of 36 counties in WestVirginia will be open to wildturkey hunting this fall. Countiesopen to fall turkey hunting in-clude the following:

• Fourteen (14) traditional fall

hunting counties will be open toa four-week spilt season (October13 – October 20 and October 29 –November 17, 2012).

• Seven (7) counties will beopen to a two-week split season(October 13 – October 20 and Oc-tober 29 – November 3, 2012).

• Fifteen (15) counties will havea one-week season (October 13 –October 20, 2012).

hunting regulations can be foundin the 2012–2013 West VirginiaHunting and Trapping Regula-tions Summary. Copies of this

Supreme Court justice says new Business Court exciting

CHARLESTON – StateSupreme Court Justice BrentBenjamin is eager to see thenew Business Court Divisionget started.

“In the past, there was a mis-understanding about whatbusiness court actually was,”Benjamin said Tuesday. “WestVirginia was lagging behind inthis area, but, legislators havehelped immensely and NorthCarolina’s business court hasbeen an outstanding help tous.”

Benjamin discussed WestVirginia’s Business Court Divi-sion, which opens Oct. 10, at ameeting of the Judge John A.Field Jr. American Inn of Courtin the Robert C. Byrd FederalBuilding & U.S. Courthouse.

West Virginia’s BusinessCourt Division will be head-quartered in Martinsburg, butthe state is separated intoseven regions where court canbe held.

“In the Business Court Divi-sion, the judges will go to thecases—not the other wayaround,” Benjamin said.

“The cases will be heard

where they were filed.”Benjamin said the Business

Court Division will involvebusiness-to-business litigationand not consumers.

“Commercial litigation iscomplex and unique,” he said.“The judges that will be in-volved with the business courtare on the cutting edge onthese matters and will be fo-cused on discovery unique tocommercial litigation.”

At the moment, the panelmembers of the Business CourtDivision include Berkeley Cir-cuit Judge Christopher C.Wilkes, chairman; GreenbrierCircuit Judge James J. Rowe;Hampshire Circuit Judge Don-ald H. Cookman; and WayneCircuit Judge James H. YoungJr., whose term begins in Janu-ary.

Benjamin said he expectsthere will be three more judgesappointed to the panel.

Each judge will serve aseven-year term.

“These judges are volun-teers,” Benjamin said. “They’renot getting paid anything to bea part of the Business CourtDivision; they’re doing it be-cause they want to be in-volved.”

Benjamin said the BusinessCourt Division will abide bythe same normal time framesas the other court divisions,but with one exception.

“The time standards for gen-eral civil cases will apply, butthe presiding judge will dotheir best to conclude the busi-ness litigation within 10months from the date the casemanagement order was en-tered,” Benjamin said.

“This is the primary sellingpoint of the Business Court Di-vision. It’s a good thing to tryand move things along as fastas possible.”

The local American Inn ofCourt chapter’s president, Vi-vian H. Basdekis, said the busi-ness court is an exciting andsignificant addition to thecourt system.

The American Inns of Courtis a volunteer legal organiza-tion devoted to improving pro-fessionalism, ethics, civilityand legal skills.

St. Albans man catches twostate-record fish in one day

Most anglers go their entire liveswithout catching a state recordfish, but a St. Albans man caughttwo in one day and actuallywrested one record away fromhimself.

As remarkable as it seems, MarkFoster of St. Albans caught tworecord fish – a blue catfish and alongnose gar on the same day ofOhio River fishing. Foster caughtthe 43.9-inch, 44.5-pound bluecatfish from the Ohio River whileusing cut bait. It establishes a newWest Virginia record for bothlength and weight.

Here's where it gets really inter-esting – the weight record this bluecatfish broke was from a fish Fos-ter himself caught in 2011. Theprevious length record was a42.25-inch blue catfish caught byLynn Lange in 2009.

If that wasn't interestingenough, he caught another staterecord fish that day, a length-record-tying longnose gar – alsocaught on cut bait. He caught a

52.25-inch, 15-pound longnosegar that ties the current lengthrecord held by Shelby Searls. Fos-ter caught the gar on the same dayfrom the Ohio River using cut bait.

Outdoors radio show for earlybirds

Because of my day job, I get upearly and am often on the roadaround 6:30 a.m. There is a greatoutdoors radio show on 650 AM,WSM, Nashville, at 6:25 a.m.

The show is ten minutes long,but always packed with some greathunting and fishing musings andinformation. It is hosted byWSM'sBill Cody and Joey Monteleone. Asfar as I can gather, Monteleonehunts and fishes for a living (he's aguide) and he has some great tips.It takes some really unique tips tocatch my interest, which he does.One morning last week, he wastalking about if you are hunting inoaks and acorns were scarce, youcould drop pebbles from yourtreestand to mimic the sound ofacorns falling to maybe bringsome deer in.

If you think you can't pick up a

radio station in Nashville, you'rewrong. AM radio waves travelgreat distances from a little afterdusk until a little after dawn. Be-cause it's been around since the1920s,WSM still has one of the old50,000-watt licenses and is one ofonly a few dozen stations in thecountry that can operate with thatkind of power. WWVA 1170 inWheeling is another. You can alsolisten to it online at www.wsmon-line.com.

If you can't get up that early,there's always Chris Lawrence'sOutdoors Today spot on WCHS580 AM, which is syndicated onsome other radio stations in thestate. He has a nice long show onSaturday mornings, but the dailyspot is about a minute long.

Fall Trout Stockings slated:The West Virginia Division of

Natural Resources will be stocking25 streams and eight lakes duringthe weeks of Oct. 8 and Oct. 15.Approximately 39,000 pounds oftrout will be stocked. Brood troutwill make up about 20 percent ofthe total poundage.

Continued from last week,here's a look at some of the ques-tions Keep America Fishing askedthe presidential candidates:

For Mitt Romney:“When you were Governor of

Massachusetts you proposed di-verting hunting and fishing li-cense fees to other programs,then reconsidered after anglersand hunters and angler/huntergroups expressed opposition.Why did you make that proposaland what did you learn from the

experience that caused you towithdraw it?

Romney replied: “When I waselected governor of Massachu-setts there was a $3 million budgetdeficit, and I went to work exam-ining every agency and programto close that gap. I was deter-mined to get my state back onstrong fiscal footing. I reconsid-ered the decision to divert licensefees after I received input fromlocal stakeholders, both anglersand others, who expressed to mewhy this decision should be re-considered.

Once I understood what this di-version of funds will do, I reversedcourse and found another way toleave my state with a $2 millionrainy day fund when I left office.This is the same attitude I willbring to the presidency. I have aplan to get this economy back ontrack, but I also understand theimportance of hearing out stateand local agencies and fishermenthemselves when these types ofdecisions are made.”

For Obama: “As President youinitiated a new national oceanpolicy that anglers fear poses seri-ous questions about the future ofrecreational access to our nation'swaters. In your second term what

plans do you have for that policyinitiative, and can you provide as-surance that large areas of publicwaters will not be unnecessarilyclosed through this policy?”

Obama responded: “By estab-lishing a National Ocean Policy, Imade it a priority of the federalgovernment to ensure a proactiveapproach to improving the con-servation of the ocean, our coasts,and the Great Lakes.We are devel-oping regional plans that bringthe states together with regionalstakeholders to make sure thateveryone has the opportunity toenjoy this shared resource andresidents in each region can tailorits management to suit their localneeds. This policy cuts away redtape and redundancy to bestserve the local communities thatdepend on our oceans and wa-ters.

Some claim that this kind ofplanning is intended to deprivefishermen of access to our oceanwaters. Nothing could be furtherfrom the truth. Instead, our goal isto allow all users of the ocean – in-cluding recreational fishermen –have a voice in how our ocean wa-ters are managed.”

Romney was looking at a lot ofoptions because his state was

broke and considered diverting li-cense fees. A part of me is some-what angered by the mereconsideration of that, because it isa break from the sacred bond of li-cense fees.We let the governmentcharge those fees because of thegood that money would do – andit has done wonderful things. ButI do know, when you run a busi-ness, you look at every single op-tion until you find a really goodone.

As for Obama - last week, Imanaged somehow to stay neu-tral. I can't today because I'm toofired up. Obama's national oceanpolicy makes no distinction be-tween commercial fishing andsport fishing and gives ObamaStalin-like power to shut downfishing anywhere on the oceans orthe Great Lakes.

It gives the executive branchpower, like a god of the waters, tosay who can and who cannot dowhat on America's waterways.The American concept of the out-doors is unique – that the animalsof the forest and the fish in thewater belong to each and everyone of us. These decisions ofmanagement should be dealt withby the states or Congress if thereis a problem that warrants action.

This is power the founding fatherswarned us about. This isn't apower Congress, the people, orthe Constitution gives him. Hejust made it up. That's what an ex-ecutive order like this is – a presi-dent just says “I have this power.”

I never trust anybody wantingabsolute power who says “trustme. I'll ask you before I use it,”which is a translation of whatObama says in his gobblygook an-swer above.

He also says it was designed tocut red tape.

The ocean policy includes: a 27-member National Ocean Council;an 18-member Governance Coor-dinating Committee; and 9 Re-gional Planning Bodies. There are9 National Priority Objectives; 9Strategic Action Plans; 7 NationalGoals for Coastal Marine SpatialPlanning; and 12 Guiding Princi-ples for Coastal Marine SpatialPlanning.

If that isn't red tape, I don'tknow what red tape is.

SOUTH CHARLESTON – TheWest Virginia Division of NaturalResources 2012 fall trout stockingwill take place during the weeks ofOctober 8 and 15, according toCurtis I. Taylor, Chief of the DNRWildlife Resources Section. Ap-proximately 39,000 pounds oftrout will be stocked during thetwo-week period in 25 streamsand eight lakes as indicated in the2012 Fishing Regulations booklet.Brood trout will make up about 20percent of the total poundage.

“Although stream flows in manyareas of the state are lower thanlast year, we should still be able toget the trout spread out prettywell,” said Taylor.

All waters will be stocked eachweek during the two-week period,with two exceptions:

· The Monongahela NationalForest will begin temporary clo-sure of FR 86, the Williams RiverRoad, on October 9, 2012. Accord-

ing to the Forest Service, the clo-sure will occur between Tea CreekCampground and Three Forks,and is necessary to repair roaddamage caused by high water andheavy rains during the past coupleyears. The full description of theclosure can be found at:www.fs.usda.gov/detail/mnf/news-events/?cid=STELPRDB5392080

· New Creek Dam 14 will notbe stocked this fall because of on-going repairs that required the laketo be drained. Work should becompleted this fall and the lakefilled for the 2013 stocking season.

Without additional rainfall overthe next couple weeks, flows arelikely to be low and clear, and an-glers will have to use their best an-gling skills to be successful.

Anglers can call the Fishing Hot-line at 304-558-3399 or visit theDNR website at www.wvdnr.gov tofind out which streams and lakeshave been stocked each day.

SALT ROCK – Salt Rock Elemen-tary School first grade teacher JessiPierson will appear on an upcom-ing episode of the popular televi-sion game showWheel of Fortune.

The episode featuring Piersonwas filmed in August and will airduring the week of Oct. 22.

Pierson cannot reveal how shedid on the show prior to its broad-cast later this month, other than tosay she was pleased with the way itturned out. Local viewers can findWheel of Fortune on WSAZNewsChannel 3 weekdays at 7p.m.

“I have always wanted to be onthe show and have watched it withmy Nana since I could read,” saidPierson. “She is the one who in-spired me to tryout.”

Pierson tried out for the showlast spring, when a traveling“Wheel Mobile” made a stop inWest Virginia at the Mardi GrasCasino in Nitro. She said that sheand several other people went tothe local audition and filled outapplications to appear on the pro-gram.

At the local auditions, peoplewere picked at random to comeup on stage and play the game.Pierson said that she wasn'tpicked and thought her chances of

appearing on the show were over.However, a few months later,

producers contacted Pierson by e-mail and asked her to come for anaudition.

“One thing on my applicationform that I think caught the eye ofthe Wheel of Fortune staff is that Iwas MissWestVirginia USA 2009,”said Pierson, who went on thatyear to place in the Top 10 in theMiss USA Pageant, while also win-ning Miss Photogenic.

At her audition to appear on theshow, Pierson said that she wentthrough an intense process.

“We had to take a timed quizthat was graded upon how many

puzzles we could solve within thetime limit,” she said. “After theygraded the quizzes they made acut. Then, we went through sev-eral cuts after auditioning in frontof the panel. We were judged onour puzzle solving skills as well asour enthusiasm, talking clarity,knowledge of the game, ability tocall appropriate letters to solve thepuzzle, our speaking skills whenintroducing ourselves, amongother things. It was pretty intense.”

Following the audition, produc-ers told Pierson that she would benotified by mail within two weeksif she had made the cut to appearon the show.

“I didn't get my letter until al-most 3 weeks later, after I had al-ready given up hope that I hadmade it,” Pierson said.“When I gotthe letter I was with my sister,mom, and nephew and I wasscreaming and jumping so in-sanely that I broke a board on myfront porch.”

After receiving word that shehad been selected to appear onthe show, Pierson travelled to Cal-ifornia in August to tape herepisode.

“I went to tape the show at thebeginning of August right beforeschool started,” Pierson said.“Theshow taped Aug. 10. My mom,Kristi Pierson, and grandma"Nana", Wanda King, made thetrip with me.”

Despite the excitement of trav-eling cross country to appear on anationally syndicated televisionshow, the trip was not all smoothsailing.

“Our flights were delayed sev-eral times and by the time we fi-nally got to Los Angeles I got lessthan 2 hours of sleep before get-ting up and ready for the taping,”Pierson said. “Other than that, thetrip was awesome.”

While Pierson had watchedWheel of Fortune many timesthrough the years, actually beingon the set of the popular televisionshow still contained a few sur-prises.

“The stage was much smallerthan I expected,” she said. “Thewheel was also much smaller thanI expected, yet much heavier thanI expected. I was actually sore thenext day from spinning that heavything.”

Pierson said that she had a greattime taping the Wheel of Fortuneepisode, and was impressed bylong time host Pat Sajak and hispartnerVannaWhite.

“Vanna is so much tinier than Iexpected and she was also somuch more down to earth than Iexpected as well. She was supersweet,” Pierson said.“I actually gotPat and Vanna's personalized au-tograph to me and they were sohappy to give it.”

Another surprise that Piersonencountered on the set was thatPat andVanna tape a weeks’ worthof shows in one day.

“I was also surprised to learnthat they tape all the shows for theweek all in one day. So, Pat andVanna work 4 days a month whichsounds great,” she said.

Now back at home, the 25-year-old Ona resident is enjoying herfourth year as a teacher in the firstgrade classroom at Salt Rock Ele-mentary.

“I absolutely love being ateacher,” she said.“It is so reward-ing and fun and is definitely whatI was called to do in life. I lovegoing to work every single day.”
