CHARLESTON – Albeit nearlya week late, a Putnam family lawjudge has replied to a second setof ethics charges.

William M.Watkins III on Oct.10 filed his answer to the state-ment of charges brought againsthim by the Judicial InvestigationCommission on Aug. 31. Thestatement, which acts like an in-

dictment for disciplinary pur-poses, accused Watkins, 58, of24 violations of the Code of Ju-dicial Conduct in complaintsfiled against him by Rev. ArthurD. Hage, Sharon Stinson, RobertHarper, Tammy Jo Lambert andMark Halburn.

Videos Hage, Harper andLambert accompanied withtheir complaints showingWatkins using abrasive and foullanguage in their hearings have

found their way onto the Inter-net, including YouTube. Thevideo from the May 23 hearingin Hage’s case showing Watkinsscreaming so loud that thecourtroom microphones be-come distorted has been viewednearly 200,000 times, and hasgarnered international mediaattention.

Though Watkins’ answer wasdue by Oct. 4, his attorney,Robert P. Martin, asked that it

still be accepted. He cited abreakdown in communicationbetween Watkins and himselfdue to his “living in semi-retire-ment in Pocahontas County.”

In his answer, Watkins eitheradmitted to all the allegations oracknowledged transcripts ofhearings were correct. This in-cluded him referring to the bio-logical father of Sharon

However, Watkins denied hisactions or comments violatedany of the Codes’ canons.

Because of that, he asked thestatement be dismissed.

Last month, Watkins also ad-mitted to the allegations in an-other statement of charges, butdenied violating any canonsstemming from an extraordi-nary complaint filed by SteveCanterbury, the state SupremeCourt’s administrative director.

New state Business Court now open for business

MARTINSBURG – West Vir-ginia’s new business court is,well, open for business.

Members of the state judiciaryonWednesday night held an un-veiling ceremony for the court,which is located at the BerkeleyCounty Judicial Center in an of-fice that formerly housed a lawlibrary. The state Legislaturepassed a bill in 2010 that createdthe court.

“If you think about it, gettinganything significant done in gov-ernment in less than three years,it’s phenomenal,” said CircuitJudge Christopher Wilkes, whowill serve as the first chairman ofthe business court.

Wilkes joked that he was ini-tially wary of a letter he receivedfrom Supreme Court administra-tor Steve Canterbury that beganwith, “Congratulations, you havebeen selected to …” because ofthe possibility of extra work.

But Wilkes added that he andthe panel that designed thegroup studied business courts inother states such as Delawareand North Carolina and craftedan idea they feel will work for ageographically challenged statelikeWest Virginia.

As it opens, three judges make

up the business court roster, witha fourth coming before the endof the year. Canterbury sayseventually there will be sevenjudges, geographically displaced,who will hear cases.

Each judge also will have spe-cial training in business law, too,said Supreme Court Justice

Robin JeanDavis, who added thegoal for each case will be a reso-lution within 10 months.

“In the business world, time ismoney,” she said. “The litigantsare guaranteed not just a quickhearing, but an expert hearing.”

Any business-to-business casefiled in the state can be removedto the business court in one oftwo ways. The judge originallyassigned the case will decide ifit’s ripe for the business court, orthe attorneys handling the casecan petition the chief justice ofthe Supreme Court, currentlyMenis Ketchum.

If the chief justice agrees, thebusiness court judges will put itto a vote.

Cases will travel to the judges,while administrativematters willbe handled at the Martinsburgoffice.

Canterbury has implementeda video conferencing system thathe began using in the late 1990swhen he worked for the RegionalJail Authority. He noted that

some of the trips to state jailswere “punitive,” and the videoconferencing system allowed forvideo arraignments.

For the business court, it willbe used mainly for mediationand pretrial discussions, he said.Up to 18 individuals can partici-pate on the screen, though “theirheads get a little small,” Canter-bury joked.

An electronic filing systemwillnot be used. It is only used inWestVirginia for mass tort litiga-tion.

West Virginia’s courts systemhas been the subject of criticismby the business community inthe past because of a lack of in-termediate appellate court be-tween the circuit court systemand the Supreme Court, alongwith a lack of a right of appeal.

The latter was addressed by achange in appellate rules that re-quire the Supreme Court to issuea written decision anytime it de-nies an appeal from a circuitcourt judgment.

Judge Christopher Wilkes speaks Wednesday at the opening of the new Busi-ness Court Division in Martinsburg. Wilkes is the first chairman of the Division.

SUBMITTED REPORTCHARLESTON -- Attorney

General Darrell McGraw warnsWest Virginia borrowers who losttheir homes to foreclosure toavoid scammers offering helpwith the National Mortgage Set-tlement.

McGraw reminds all con-sumers never to pay anyone tofile a claim in a case brought byhis office.

Help from the Consumer Pro-tection Division is always free.

InMarch of 2012,McGraw s of-fice announced a settlement inwhich the nations five largestmortgage servicers, Ally/GMAC,Bank of America, Citi, JPMorganChase andWells Fargo, agreed toresolve claims brought on behalfof consumers by the federal gov-ernment and attorneys generalfor 49 states and the District ofColumbia.

The $25 billion settlement setaside $3.6 million in paymentsfor West Virginia borrowers wholost their homes to foreclosurebetween January 1, 2008, andDe-cember 31, 2011while their loanswere being serviced by one of the

five banks.Unfortunately, unscrupulous

organizations soon began offer-ing help to eligible borrowers.For a hefty contingency fee of upto 20 percent of the expectedpayment, fringe companies offerto help consumers submit simpleclaim forms, but this is unneces-sary according to the AttorneyGeneral s office.

”It’ s not complicated,” saidMcGraw. ”The claims process issimple and easy, so don’t befooled by outfits claiming youneed their help with a settlementresulting from my office’s en-forcement efforts.”

This month, McGraw s officemailed legitimate claim forms

with easy-to-use instructions to5,222 West Virginia borrowerswho are eligible to file claims.

The customized, one-pageclaim forms are simple to com-plete and any borrowers whohave questions or need help fil-ing their claim can contact thesettlement administrator, tollfree, at 1-866-430-8358 or call theAttorney General s ConsumerProtection Hotline at 1-800-368-8808.

The deadline to submit allclaims is January 18, 2013.

McGraw s office recentlylearned that a San Antonio,Texas,company called Murray LLP ranTV and Internet ads directingconsumers to its website,

www.bringaclaim.com to chargeeligible borrowers a 20 percentfee to submit a one-page claimform in the National MortgageSettlement.

McGraw warns all homeown-ers to be aware of settlement-re-lated scams.

Do not provide personal infor-mation or pay money to anyonewho advertises, calls or emails

you claiming that they are pro-viding settlement related assis-tance.

If you believe someone is con-ducting a settlement relatedscam, contact the West VirginiaAttorney General at 1-800-368-8808.Formore information abouteligibility and filing a claim visitwww.NationalMortgageSettle-ment.com.

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 andweight.

Here's where it gets really inter-esting – theweight 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 samedayfrom theOhioRiver 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 alwayspackedwith somegreathunting and fishing musings andinformation. It is hostedbyWSM'sBill Cody and JoeyMonteleone. 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,WSMstill has one of the old50,000-watt licenses and is one ofonly a few dozen stations in thecountry that canoperatewith 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 aminute long.

Fall Trout Stockings slated:The West Virginia Division of

Natural Resourceswill 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 KeepAmerica 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 therewas a $3millionbudgetdeficit, 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 understoodwhat this di-version of fundswill 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 youprovide 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 theGreat 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 tailoritsmanagement 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 howour oceanwa-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 sacredbondof 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 shouldbedealtwithby the states or Congress if thereis a problem thatwarrants action.

This is power the founding fatherswarned us about. This isn't apower Congress, the people, orthe Constitution gives him. Hejustmade it up.That'swhat 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.

Theoceanpolicy includes: a 27-memberNationalOceanCouncil;an 18-memberGovernanceCoor-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 theweeks 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 troutwillmake up about 20percent of the total poundage.

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

All waters will be stocked eachweekduring the two-weekperiod,with two exceptions:

· TheMonongahelaNationalForest will begin temporary clo-sure of FR 86, the Williams RiverRoad, onOctober 9, 2012. Accord-

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

· NewCreekDam14will 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-glerswill have touse their best an-gling skills to be successful.

Anglers cancall theFishingHot-line at 304-558-3399 or visit theDNRwebsite atwww.wvdnr.gov tofind out which streams and lakeshave been stocked each day.

SALTROCK–SaltRockElemen-tarySchool first grade teacher JessiPiersonwill appear onanupcom-ing episode of the popular televi-siongameshowWheelofFortune.

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

Pierson cannot reveal how shedidon the showprior to its broad-cast later thismonth,other than tosay shewaspleasedwith theway itturnedout. Local viewers can findWheel of Fortune on WSAZNewsChannel 3 weekdays at 7p.m.

“I have always wanted to be onthe showandhavewatched itwithmy Nana since I could read,” saidPierson. “She is the one who in-spiredme 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 toappearon thepro-gram.

At the local auditions, peoplewere picked at random to comeup on stage and play the game.Pierson said that she wasn'tpickedand thoughtherchancesof

appearing on the showwere over.However, a few months later,

producers contactedPiersonbye-mail and askedher to come for anaudition.

“One thing on my applicationform that I think caught the eye oftheWheel of Fortune staff is that IwasMissWestVirginiaUSA2009,”said Pierson, who went on thatyear to place in the Top 10 in theMissUSAPageant,while alsowin-ningMiss Photogenic.

Ather audition toappearon 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. Itwaspretty intense.”

Following theaudition,produc-ers told Pierson that shewould benotified bymail within twoweeksif 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,”Piersonsaid.“WhenIgotthe 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 toCal-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 thetripwithme.”

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, thetripwas awesome.”

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

“The stage was much smallerthan I expected,” she said. “Thewheelwasalsomuchsmaller thanI expected, yetmuchheavier thanI expected. I was actually sore thenextday fromspinning thatheavything.”

Piersonsaid that shehadagreattime taping theWheel 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,”Piersonsaid.“I actually gotPat andVanna's personalized au-tograph to me and they were sohappy to give it.”

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

“I was also surprised to learnthat they tape all the shows for theweek all in one day. So, Pat andVannawork4daysamonthwhichsounds great,” she said.

Nowbackathome, 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 towork every single day.”
