unwittingly funded their owndown payment and made theinitial mortgage payments.Hurd admitted that in 2006
he became involved with Deb-orah and Todd Joyce of Hurri-cane in the “flipping” of homesin the Stonegate subdivision inHurricane.Deborah Joyce obtained in-
flated appraisals from two localappraisers, James Thorntonand Mark Greenlee, and subse-quently sent the appraisals onto another co-conspirator Ray-mond Morris in Salt Lake City,Utah.Morris admitted that he
identified investors to pur-chase those properties atfraudulently inflated prices.Morris then got those investorsin contact with Hurd, who thenused The Gift Program to con-ceal the transfer of a portion ofthe loan proceeds to the in-vestor from the lender.Hurd admitted that he paid
Morris an undisclosed “com-mission” for this referral.Hurd also admitted that dur-
ing the scheme, he wired addi-tional loan funds to theinvestor to make initial mort-gage payments.Once those funds ran out,
the investors defaulted on theloans and the properties wentinto foreclosure.All told, Hurd, Joyce and
Morris illegally flipped sixproperties in the Stonegatesubdivision. The respectivelender losses total almost $2million.At the same time, Morris and
Hurd orchestrated a similar in-vestment-type scheme inModesto, California.Hurd acknowledged that he
was involved in illegally flip-ping 20 properties with lossesin excess of $5.5 million.As part of his plea agree-
ment, Hurd agreed to transferthose charges from the EasternDistrict of California to theSouthern District of West Vir-ginia so the matters could bedisposed of jointly.During the sentencing, Judge
Johnston noted that, “this is the
sort of activity that contributedto the financial collapse.”Further, the Judge said,
“hopefully a prosecution likethis will serve to deter others.”In rendering the 27 month
sentence, the Court noted thatHurd faced significantly moretime in prison, but received areduction at the government’srequest as a result of his earlyand expansive cooperationagainst Morris and others,which has ultimately led to fur-ther prosecutions in West Vir-ginia, California and Utah.Morris, 51, of South Weber,
Utah, previously pleaded guiltyin July to wire fraud and bankfraud as part of his involve-ment in the multimillion-dol-lar mortgage fraud scheme.Morris faces up to 30 years in
prison and a $1 million finewhen he is sentenced on Oct.29, 2012 by United States Dis-trict Judge Thomas E. John-ston.James R. Thornton, 48, of
Wilmington, N.C., previouslypleaded guilty to aiding andabetting wire fraud for his in-volvement in the scheme.Thornton received a reducedsentence earlier this week offive-years’ probation as a resultof his early cooperation in thefederal investigation.Deborah L. Joyce was sen-
tenced in April 2011 to threeyears and 10 months in prisonand five years of supervised re-lease for her involvement inthe Stonegate subdivisionmortgage fraud scheme.Joyce’s husband, Todd Joyce,
38, of Hurricane, was also sen-tenced in April 2011 to one yearand six months in prison onmortgage fraud and tax evasioncharges.This case is being investi-
gated by the Federal Bureau ofInvestigation and the InternalRevenue Service, Criminal In-vestigative Division.Assistant United States Attor-
ney Thomas Ryan is in chargeof the prosecution. The sen-tence was imposed by UnitedStates District Judge Thomas E.Johnston

This has been the first sum-mer boating season since thecity of Nitro opened its RobertC. Byrd Boat Launch.The access point takes some
of the pressure from the boatlaunch in Raymond City andgives boaters good access to theKanawha and Coal rivers.It's also a great lemons-to-
lemonade story, of converting apolluted waste space into aplace of recreation.However, I'm just going to
come right out and say it: it'shigh time we stop naming stuffafter Robert C. Byrd.
Seriously, can we just pleasestop naming things after RobertC. Byrd already?I remember sitting in the
newsroom of a daily newspaperduring the 2003 invasion ofIraq.The news reports spoke of
fighting around the SaddamHussein International Airport –The Saddam Hussein This andThe Saddam Hussein That.The sports editor turned to
me and said “Saddam still does-n't have half the stuff namedafter him that Robert C. Byrdhas.”Who knows how many vari-
ous Robert C. Byrd things thereare in this state – despite thefact that his first political officewas exalted cyclops of his localKKK or the battle he foughtagainst Civil Rights in Congressduring the 1960s.There was this perception
that things might fare a littlebetter for your project if younamed it “Robert C. Byrd.”I reported on North Bend
Lake during the several years ittook to construct it.One interesting thing I re-
member with North Bend Lakeis that it spent several yearswithout an official name andthere was an “understanding”
that it would get a Congression-ally-recognized name if folkswanted to call it Robert C. ByrdLake and Dam – despite the factthere was already a Robert C.Byrd dam on the Ohio River.It was so long without a
name, as I remember that thecity of Harrisville voted to nameit.I can't remember the name
they chose, but nobody liked it.Everybody called it North BendLake and I called it North BendLake in my stories andcolumns. The name stuck.Schoolwise, there are more
than 30 schools or school build-ings named Robert C. Byrd.Even my alma mater, Alderson-Broaddus College, named abuilding Robert C. Byrd. Whenyou start counting college hallsnamed for Byrd's wife, you arewell over three dozen places.He has so much stuff named
after him that we've run out ofdifferent places to name RobertC. Byrd, unless we change thename of Beckley to Robert C.Byrdingrad. Two objects
crossing the Ohio River arenamed Robert C. Byrd – theRobert C. Byrd Locks and Damnear Point Pleasant and theRobert C. Byrd Bridge crossingthe Ohio River at Huntington –
not to be confused with theRobert C. Byrd Bridge in OhioCounty.If I said I was going to the
Robert C. Byrd CommunityCenter, would you know where Iwas?Probably not.There are two of them. There
is a Robert C. Byrd CommunityCenter in Marion County. Thereis another Robert C. Byrd Com-munity Center in PendletonCounty.What about the Robert C.
Byrd United States Courthouseand Federal Building?I could be talking about the
Robert C. Byrd United StatesCourthouse and Federal Build-ing in Beckley – or maybe theRobert C. Byrd United StatesCourthouse and Federal Build-ing in Charleston.There's two Robert C. Byrd
Clinics, but the one in Hunting-ton bears the name “VA Addi-tion,” so at least you might beable to tell them apart.How about we name some-
thing after someone who is –and this might be hard for somefolks to imagine – somebodywho is not Robert C. Byrd.The idea behind naming
things for people is that you en-sure those people are not for-
gotten.You drive down the Jennings
Randolph Highway, see the signand maybe you'll want to learnsomething about who JenningsRandolph was.What we do instead in West
Virginia is use the naming ofthings to create a cult of per-sonality.It used to be if you named
something “The Robert C. Byrd”whatever, you had a betterchance of getting some moneyin the future. Now that he isdead, those days are over. Howabout we find somebody else toname projects for? How aboutthe J.H. Marcum Boat Launchfor our next boat ramp?Almost nobody knows who
J.H. Marcum was.He was West Virginia's Fish
and Game Warden who basi-cally created what is nowknown as the DNR.Or what about Wayne Bailey
who resurrected the West Vir-ginia turkey from the brink ofextirpation.It's hard to remember any-
body when you only take thetime to remember one man.

Trout stocking: Trout Stocking: Aug. 7, Jennings Randolph andTygart tailwaters.Beech Fork: Reservoir water level is at summer pool. Anglers
should call the Beech Fork Corps of Engineers office at (304) 525-4831 for more information. Bass fishing may be slowing now withhot day time temperatures. Try fishing early in the morning ornear dusk to beat the heat, channel catfish will be actively feedingduring this time as well. Hybrid striped bass and white bass canbe caught using white lures.East Lynn: The reservoir water level is at summer pool. For
more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded messageat (304) 849-9861. Bass will be holding near logs, stumps and fishattracting brush piles. Musky will be found near brush piles andfallen trees. Try crappie fishing around standing timber or treesthat have fallen into the water. A few walleye have been caught inthe lake and tailwater.Stephens Lake: The water is very clear. To improve the odds of
catching fish, use light line, cast far, and reduce noise, fish qui-etly and carefully. Anglers fishing at dawn, dusk and into the nightare finding greater success due to limited boat traffic and coolerconditions. These anglers are using mostly surface lures like jit-terbugs, buzz baits and prop baits for success. Bass are also beingcaught using wacky rigged worms in various colors at variousdepths. Catfish have been recently caught using chicken livers,worms and prepared dip baits.Lower Ohio and Kanawha Rivers: Stillwater fishing should be
excellent. Jigs with minnows could provide some excellentcatches of sauger, white bass, hybrid striped bass and freshwaterdrum. If artificial baits are your preference white and chartreuseare good colors to try. Blue, flathead and channel catfish activityis picking up.
