Jerry Dunlap died after being trapped inside his burn- ing home, according to Boone County emergency offi- cials. Neighbors actually saw the fire first and attempted to rescue Dunlap from the burning mobile home, but said the flames were too intense. The fire was reported about 6 p.m., Monday, along Spars Creek Road, which is on Route 17 — just outside of Madison in Boone County. Dunlap’s daughter has been notified according to au- thorities at the scene. No one else was hurt. The man’s dog was able to escape the fire which is under investiga- tion. The cause of the fire has not been determined. The state fire marshal is back on the scene Tuesday, April 2, 2013, trying to determine what started the fire. Firefighters from Madison, Danville and Spruce River assisted with the blaze.

CREW releases new report detailing mining industry’s Washington influence Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) released a new report, “Mine, Mine, Mine,” de- tailing the influence of the mining industry and its main trade organization, the National Mining Association (NMA), which represents more than 300 companies. CREW found the NMA spent $4.8 million lobbying in 2012, more than four times what it spent in 2000. Cam- paign contributions through the NMA’s two political action committees (PACs), COALPAC and MINEPAC, have more than doubled over the past 10 years. To view the report online: http://www.citizensfor- ethics.org/page/PDFs/Reports/National_Mining_As- sociation_Lobbying_Report_CREW_3_20_2013. pdf?nocdn=1 The PACs, funded by donations from some of the country’s biggest mining companies, contributed a com- bined $915,000 to federal candidates, parties, and other political committees during the 2012 presidential elec- tion cycle, an increase of nearly 30 percent over the 2008 cycle. Efforts are underway to revamp the General Mining Act of 1872 to require mining companies, which cur- rently pay no royalties, to potentially pay the same 12.5 percent in royalties required of oil companies. Estimates of the potential revenue range from hun- dreds of millions of dollars over the next decade to as much as $2 billion annually. In fiscal year 2011, the value of minerals extracted from federal land was estimated at more than $6.4 bil- lion. “The federal giveaway to the mining industry would be an outrage at any time, but it is ironic that even in light of the current budget debacle, Congress can’t agree to scrap an 1872 law preventing the government from raising hundreds of millions — if not billions — of dol- lars in revenue,” said CREW Executive Director Melanie Sloan. One hundred members of the current Congress re- ceived contributions from MINEPAC during the 2012 election cycle, and 168 received contributions from COALPAC. In 2012, 87 percent of MINEPAC’s contributions went to Republican candidates, PACs, and party committees. COALPAC’s slant was even more pronounced, with 91 percent of contributions made to Republican candidates and organizations. The top recipients are a mix of congressional lead- ership and lawmakers from key mining states such as Nevada, where mining companies employ more than 12,000 people. The biggest congressional recipient of NMA PAC con- tributions over the past three election cycles was House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), who received $42,500. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA), the second largest recipient, got $27,000. House Republicans have sided with the NMA on key votes. In 2007, the NMA opposed legislation to charge a roy- alty fee on minerals extracted from federal land. Reps. Boehner and Cantor, together with 82 percent of House Republicans, voted against the measure, which ultimate- ly died in the Senate. Rep. Boehner spoke out aggres- sively against the legislation. Nevada Sen. Dean Heller (R) was the third largest re- cipient, taking in $26,000, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), the fourth largest recipient, re- ceived $25,000. Sen. Reid received contributions from MINEPAC but not COALPAC, as opposed to the other top recipients of NMA money, who received contributions from both PACs. Sen. Reid was one of just two Democrats among the NMA’s top 20 congressional recipients, with the other being Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV). Additionally, the mining industry as a whole spent $32,176,168 on lobbying in 2012. While mining can be an expensive business, the in- dustry’s lobbying and campaign contributions prove it can clearly afford to keep drilling Washington for all it’s worth, CREW said in its report. www.coalvalleynews.com B6

B6 ★ WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10, 2013 COAL VALLEY NEWS State’s role in regulating its four racetrack casinos Tom Miller PressNet Reporter CHARLESTON — This state’s role in regulating its four racetrack casinos caused the State Senate to pass a mea- sure (SB615) last Wednesday—the final day for bills to pass the legislative body where the legislation originates— that reduces the annual table game license fees for each of West Virginia’s four racetrack casinos from $2.5 million to $1.5 million. Senate Finance Chairman Roman Prezioso, D-Marion, described it as a “short-term solution to a long-term prob- lem” so that table games can continue operations at Wheel- ing Island racetrack casino. Each of the four operations will pay a table game license fee for the July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 yearlong operation that will be cut from $2.5 million to $1.5 million for that year alone. “All I want to do is buy some time, so we can sit down… and look at this thing in a manner that we can make some intelligent decisions about what we’re going to do with our gaming and racing industries,” Prezioso told colleagues in the Senate last Tuesday evening. The alternative would have been for Wheeling Island to surrender its table game license on June 30, 2012. And the $4 million of lost revenue—$1 million for each of the four locations—will be made up from lottery reserve funds to avoid any cuts in another program for senior citizens. Wheeling Island has seen its table games revenue from $25 million a year to $12 million last year and down to $8 million this year, largely because many customers have gone instead to com- peting casinos in Pittsburgh, Columbus and Cleveland. The last-minute Senate vote was 24-8 and Sen. Mitch Carmichael objected to the move. “We can’t cut taxes for manufacturing. ..but we can cut a tax for gambling,” he said. Meanwhile, one of the owners of the Timberline-Four Seasons Resort in Tucker County said last week that it is “difficult to do any kind of private development in tourism in this state” after the Senate passed SB492 last Wednes- day. The bill, if also approved by the House and signed by the governor, would allow a sixth state casino license that apparently is for the proposed Fisher Mountain Resort, a development planned for the site of the Highlands Golf Course near Franklin in Pendleton County. Timberline’s Fred Herz pointed to the $33 million of lodge and ski area upgrades at Canaan Valley Resort from state lottery funds and the possibility of a state-sanction gaming resort in Pendleton County. The House of Delegates will now consider this tax break bill for the casinos during the final week of the session. Meanwhile, the House of Delegates passed HB3163 last week that calls for the elimination of tolls on the West Vir- ginia Turnpike in 2020—one year after the debt payments are completed on the bonds sold to finance construction of the 88-mile highway between Charleston and Princeton. The vote was nearly unanimous with Delegate Danny Wells, D-Kanawha, casting the only vote against the bill. The bill still must be approved by the state Senate where Senate Finance Committee Chairman Roman Prezioso, D- Marion, told a Charleston newspaper last week he thinks “removing the tolls is a legitimate conversation.” But Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin is not in favor of this, ac- cording to Jason Pizzatella, who is the governor’s legisla- tive director. And General Manager Greg Barr of the West Virginia Parkways Authority which currently manages the toll road said action on HB3461 is “premature” because it comes before the Governor’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Highways delivers its findings and recommendations later this year. House members also passed legislation last week (HB2513) that is intended to punish persons driving un- der the influence of drugs. It would allow police officers to revoke a driver’s license if the person under arrest refuses to submit to a blood test. In other legislative developments last week: —the Senate also passed a bill to require the Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA)to provide maternity leave for dependents on employment health insurance plans (SB22). —senators also voted to transfer the Industrial Home for Youth at Salem to the Division of Corrections for use as a prison for adult offenders (SB610). —members of the House of Delegates passed legislation that would bring faster Internet service to rural commu- nities in West Virginia (HB2979). It would increase the state’s minimum acceptable broadband download speed to 6 megabits per second. The change allows telecommunica- tions firms to apply for state funds to provide faster service across the state. —the House of Delegates gave final approval to SB421 last Friday—a measure that would allow the school mascot at Parkersburg South High School in Wood county to be allowed to carry a gun on school grounds. All that it needs to become law now is the governor’s signature. Whitesville State Bank earns 5-star rating Fred Pace [email protected] WHITESVILLE — BauerFinancial, Inc., the nation’s lead- ing bank rating and research firm, is honored to recognize Whitesville State Bank in Whitesville, W.Va., with its highest 5-star rating. To earn this superior 5-star rating, Whitesville State Bank excels in areas of capital, asset quality, profitability and much more.

Dorway, president of the rating firm, has a rare vantage point, having monitored the industry for more than two decades. “Since 1983, BauerFinancial has been rating the nation’s fi- nancial institutions,” Dorway said. “In all that time, one thing has remained constant – top performing institutions maintain strong policies, prudent underwriting and responsible invest- ment. Whitesville State Bank is a bank you can put your trust in.” “It isn’t surprising to those of us who watch the industry that ‘plain vanilla’ banks, those that didn’t get into risky invest- ments or lending, are the banks that are still standing strong today,” Dorway added. “Whitesville State Bank has stayed true to its purpose of serving its community in a prudent and responsible manner.” Established in 1946, Whitesville State Bank has been serv- ing the banking needs of its local communities for 66 years.
