But today, Putnam County iswhere Humphrey calls homebecause his business broughthim here.

Humphrey’s company, MCPEnterprises, offers turn-keyconstruction for everythingfrom sealed control room s towarehouses, air conditionedoffices to restroom facilitieswith emergency stalls. Thecompany does a lot of workwith the coal mining industryand other “heavy” industries.

“We do a lot of work in Ken-tucky, in Kanawha County, inBoone County and throughout

southern West Virginia,”Humphrey said. “PutnamCounty is a great central loca-tion as we continue to grow thecompany.”

MCP currently has offices inBeaver and Charleston, in addi-

tion to an office that Humphreykeeps at his Hurricane home.He said that in the future, hewould like to build a more sub-stantial office in either PutnamCounty or eastern CabellCounty. “We are looking for a

location within the valley tobuild a warehouse and are try-ing to find an area that will giveus an Economic DevelopmentIncentive to do so,” Humphrey

MCPEnterprises- AGrowing Success Story

MCP Enterprises’ Beaver headquarters (seen here) is also an example of the type of construction work the company canperform.While the company began in the Beckley area, co-founder Jamie Humphrey moved to Putnam County last yearbecause of its centralized location to MCP’s growing client base.

CHARLESTON - The WestVirginia Land Trust (Land Trust)has been awarded $4,050,000 tolaunch a five year initiative toprotect up to 20,000 thousandacres of forested and riparianareas in southern West Virginia.The initiative is funded by a set-tlement of a citizen enforcementaction against Alpha Natural Re-sources subsidiaries that prose-cuted violations of the CleanWater Act. Appalachian Moun-tain Advocates brought the en-forcement action and negotiatedthe settlement on behalf of theSierra Club, the Ohio Valley En-vironmental Coalition, the WestVirginia Highlands Conservancy,and Coal River Mountain Watch.The Land Trust will use thesefunds in the watersheds impactedby the violations, namely theKanawha and Guyandotte Riverwatersheds. Additionally, theLand Trust was awarded$500,000 in 2011 from CleanWater Act enforcement actionsbrought by Appalachian Moun-tain Advocates.A unique feature of this initia-

tive is the collaboration with theWest Virginia University Collegeof Law and its new Land Use andSustainable Development Clinic

(also funded by more than$4,250,000 from actions broughtby Appalachian Mountain Advo-cates to enforce the Clean WaterAct) to provide law students withthe practical experience in thefield of land use planning andland conservation matters. Thatclinic will educate future genera-tions on conservation law and itsapplication in our state. “We have been a very small or-

ganization for many years, oper-ating on a very lean budget.Over the years we have protectedhistoric farms, natural wood-lands, riparian areas and matureforests; and all because of thepassion of the property ownerswho made these donations, andthe hard work of our dedicatedboard members,” says Terrell

Ellis, Executive Director.“These funds have the opportu-nity to change the complexion ofthe land conservation movementin West Virginia. We will nowhave the resources to compensateland owners, help cover the costsassociated with closing ease-ments and collaboratively partnerwith other conservation organi-zations across the state to priori-tize conservation efforts,” Elliscontinued. The Land Trust has a rich his-

tory of protecting special placesin West Virginia through the useof voluntary conservation ease-ments which protect and preserveland according to the land own-ers’ wishes in perpetuity. A con-servation easement is a voluntarycontract between a landowner

and a land trust (or other quali-fied agency) in which the ownerplaces permanent restrictions onthe future uses of some or all oftheir property to protect scenic,wildlife, or agricultural re-sources. The property owner dic-tates the details of the agreementto assure that their vision for theproperty is maintained. It is thenthe responsibility of the landtrust to maintain, monitor, and ifnecessary defend the easement. Founded in 1995, The West

Virginia Land Trust, through ed-ucation, outreach, and voluntary

conservation easements, works tohelp West Virginians protect theirspecial places, forever. Unfortu-nately, there are many more spe-cial places left unprotected andopen to unwanted development.Protecting farmlands, forests,urban green spaces, watershedsand other natural areas takesimagination, commitment,knowledge and a collaborativeapproach.

–Tuesday, April 17, 2012 Outdoor News The Cabell Standard

I was listening to National Pub-lic Radio last week – I do that some-times – and heard a story about allthe excitement surrounding theopening day of Illinois' trout seasonat Silver Lake in northern Illinois.People were crowding around thewater, just bristling with excitement.

Nobody seemed to mind thatthey had to wait eight or ten hourslined up like sardines in cans to evenjust get in to fish the lake. Oncethere, nobody seemed to mind thatthey were fishing elbow to elbow.

I don't like to have somebody Idon't know 20 feet from me whenI'm fishing. Especially if they arestanding on my right side. That's mycasting side.

As I listened to this fishing ad-venture unfold, I couldn't believethere were people still having to fishlike this. It's insane and unnecessary.

The concept of a fishing seasonis supposed to be a method of pro-tecting fish, especially duringspawning, but there are certainlyother ways of doing it besides un-leashing hordes of anglers to catchnearly the entire adult population offish in a day or two. It's an old idea,and in the South, we've gotten pastthis.

In West Virginia, biologists cameto the conclusion decades ago thatstatewide fishing seasons weren'tnecessary, Brett Preston, West Vir-ginia Division of Natural Resourceswarmwater fisheries chief told me.

“As fishery science moved for-ward, into the 1960s and 1970s a lotof the need for an opening day andseason closures wasn't somethingour understanding of fishery sciencesupported,” he said.

DNR Coldwater Fisheries ChiefMike Shingleton told me bluntly,“Even today, some people say theywish we could go back to openingday. They either weren't aroundwhen we had them or their memoryhas gotten bad.”

There was a time when West Vir-ginia's anglers had to endure thesame headaches Illinois anglers doon opening day of trout season.Probably the most insane of all wastiny Spruce Knob Lake, where thou-

sands of anglers converged eachopening day of trout season.

A major cause for the decliningneed of fixed seasons was the state'sability to rear fish in hatcheries. Inthe 1930s, all of the state's stockedtrout came from federal hatcheries,such as the one at White SulphurSprings. As the state began buildingits own hatcheries later, it was actu-ally able to supply more trout for itswaters.

“Even then,” Shingleton said,“People were complaining aboutopening day. People wanted to fishyear around. Immediately after theopening day closed and we went toyear-round fishing, hatchery pro-duction went up 25 percent.”

As soon as people could fishyear round, some were hitting thewater during the winter and theywanted something to fish for. Whenseasons were in place, trout stockingdidn't begin until spring, but nowthere was considerable pressurefrom anglers to stock earlier.

So winter stocking began. Therewas another benefit – not all the fishwere caught immediately. Theylived and grew. When the spring an-glers finally arrived on the waters,they weren't all catching 7-inch rain-bow trout anymore. They werecatching trout of various sizes, in-cluding large ones. *I want to pass along a couple of

Thankfully, no more open day fishing frenzyBy David Payne Sr.

The division of Natural Re-sources is conducting a survey of

Ohio River anglers this yearthrough October 20. It's part of amulti-state effort to gain an under-standing of how anglers are usingthe fishery. Biologists will be con-ducting surveys on a vast stretch ofthe river from where Ohio, WestVirginia and Pennsylvania meet allthe way downriver to Kentucky'sborder with Indiana.

It's a fairly comprehensive ef-fort, somewhat like the U.S. Cen-sus, only on a smaller scale withbiologists on the river interviewinganglers. The survey takes aboutfive minutes. It's been done once adecade and provides informationofficials use to better understandfishing trends, said Chris O'Bara, aDNR fish biologist who is coordi-nating West Virginia's part in thesurvey.

During the spring, biologistswill be focusing on anglers fishingtailwater sections, while later in theseason, they will be speakingmostly to boaters coming off theriver.

“The things we want to find outare how many fish are beingcaught, released and harvest; whatspecies people are fishing for,whether it's catfish, black bass, hy-brid striped bass, sauger or wall-eye. What they catch and what theyharvest are two different things,there are a lot of species peoplefish for and release everything. Wewant to know how much effort theyare putting into their fishing, whatwaters they've fished, how longtheir trips are, where they live (wejust ask for the zip code) – thosetypes of questions,” O'Bara said.

As for current conditions on theriver, O'Bara said anglers havebeen having considerable luck withsauger fishing and white bassshould pick up soon.

“We're seeing a lot of reallynice walleye on the river, thatseems to be a positive impact ofstocking walleye, there is moreabundance, but also larger fish. It'snot uncommon to see 25-inch wall-eye,” he said.

In recent years, the state hasbeen stocking largemouth bass inaddition to hybrid striped bass onthe river and is seeing some im-proved species as a result. Anotherfish recently stocked in the last fewyears, the blue catfish, has alsotaken off.

Most of the blue-catfish stock-ing has been in the R.C. Byrd and

Racine pools. “We've been stocking blue cat-

fish in some of the pools on thelower end of the river. We've hadgood catches of blue catfish, but alot of people haven't figured outhow to catch them yet. This isn't afish you catch with chicken liverson the river bottom. They growbig, but they aren't like a typicalcatfish. People who fish for themsuccessfully are fishing suspendedin the water column, not on thebottom of the river. They feed a loton gizzard shad and most of thepeople who catch them are usinglive bait – like gizzard shad min-nows – fished more in the middleof the water column,” O'Bara said.

It's certainly not every daythat a dream comes true, but onecertainly did for a PutnamCounty native hoping to honorAmerica's coal miners with a spe-cial-edition rifle.

Boyd Hodge, a Frazier's Bot-tom native now living in PointPleasant, will be showing off therifle, a special-edition HenryGolden Boy, at Dunlap's Gun andPawn in Hurricane on April 28.

“I had been a coal miner foryears.” he said. “There are a lotof misconceptions about coalminers and I had this thought inmy head: coal miners never getany recognition, except for badpublicity or when a tragedy hap-pens. I thought it would be nicefor somebody to just recognize acoal miner for what he is andwhat he does.”

Hodge is quick to point outthat he isn't making any moneyfrom the rifle's sales and doesn'twant to. However, that didn'tmake transferring this from anidea in his head to an actual pres-entation rifle much easier. It was-n't something that he couldpresent to numerous manufactur-ers and see which were inter-ested. He had a very, very shortlist. In fact, there was only onecompany on it, Henry RepeatingArms.

“I didn't want any money. Ijust wanted the rifle made and Iwanted Henry to be the companythat made it. The special thingabout Henry is that not just therifle, but all of its parts are madein America. I knew right from thefirst minute that if Henry wasn'tinterested in it, it just wasn'tgoing to happen,” Hodge said.

He and his wife Linda tooksome Henry rifles and traced on

paper the borders for the dimen-sions of the surfaces they'd haveto work with. Once they had cre-ated the artistic design, he ap-proached Henry Repeating Armsowner Anthony Imperato.

“When I first contactedHenry, they weren't too excitedabout the idea. I had to do a lotof talking. They turned me downtwice, but think about their situa-tion, put yourself in his shoes asthe owner, you have a large com-pany the size of Henry andyou've got this guy just callingyou up on a cold call. But then,one morning he called me at 8a.m. and he said 'we're goingwith the rifle,” Hodge recalled.

He asked Imperato whatchanged his mind. It was hisviewing of an episode of theSpike reality show “Coal,” whichdocuments working life in a WestVirginia coal mine.

“He said after watching thatshow, he had an entirely differentperspective. That's how it cameabout. He was a wonderful manto work with, very down to earthand very compassionate,” Hodgesaid.

After that, there were discus-sions about the design. Henrycame up with an altered versionof it.

“Henry sent back their ver-sion, I wouldn't agree to it. We fi-nally had to agree to disagree.Finally, he came back and did thedesign exactly the way I wantedit. The picture of of the coalminer on the rifle is a picture ofme underground. Everybody saysit would be worth a lot more if itdidn't have my picture on it,”Hodge said, jokingly.

The rifle is a .22-caliber spe-cial-edition of Henry's GoldenBoy with a 20-inch octagon bar-

rel. The right side of the rifle'sreceiver features a coal minerand the inscription “Faces ofCoal, Hearts of Gold.” The leftside has an engraving of ayounger Hodge undergroundlooking up and the words “CoalMiners United.”

On the stock is engraved aprayer “Lord as I enter this por-tal of manmade darkness keep mesafe from the dangers below andbring me back to the light of day.In this, oh Lord, I pray and if theworst should happen let myfriends and loved ones know thatI did not suffer on this... my finalday.”

“I wrote that prayer myself”Hodge said, “I said it every daywhen I went into the portal.”

Hodge became a coal miner inthe late 1970s.

“I had just finished up servicein the Army, tried to land a job

with the civil service. That didn'twork out, so into the mines Iwent. I've went down with guysthat panicked and everythingelse, but when I went down thefirst time it didn't bother me atall. I never really thought aboutit. We went down for seven-and-a-half miles, it took two hoursjust to get in and two hours to getout. You know if anything hap-pens when you're down that far,you're just done for. But that'ssomething I never thoughtabout,” he recalled.

Officals at Henry could not bereached for comment directly be-cause they were attending theNational Rifle Association in St.Louis.

“American coal mining,” ac-cording to a statement on theHenry Web site, “has an enduringhistory that is older than the na-tion itself. At Henry RepeatingArms, we are extremely proud tointroduce the Henry Golden BoyCoal Miners Edition to honorthose who have worked in our na-tion's coal-mining industry.”

Hodge will be making an ap-pearance at Dunlap's Gun andPawn in Hurricane from 10 a.m.to 5 p.m. April 28. Josh Dunlap,who owns the store with his fa-ther, said that they will be sellingthe rifle at $100 off on that day.There will also be a limited num-ber of signed certificates of au-thenticity available. Hodge saidhe will also be autographing therifles upon request.

“We think it's a very specialthing,” Dunlap said, “to have arifle made specifically in tributeof our coal miners. We'd like tothank Boyd Hodge and Henry fortheir work in making that hap-pen.”
