It has come to our attention that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is interested in hearing from supporters of mining, and mountaintop mining in particular, as to why it is important to you and its economic role in Appalachia’s economy.  

It is highly important that you share your thoughts with EPA Director Lisa Jackson by emailing her at jackson.lisap@epa.gov or faxing her at 202-501-1450.  Our economy, our security and our future is at stake!

Thank you for your consideration and for your support of the coal industry!

Charleston native Jeremy Starks won the Bassmasters Elite Series Southern Challenge Pro Tournament in Alabama last June and he's headed into the 2009 season hoping to bring home more trophies. His first tournament is this weekend, March 12-15, in the Battle on the Border at Lake Amistad in Del Rio, Texas.
 
With the recent warm spell, anglers around the region shook the dust off those spinnerbaits and fishing rods and started thinking about bass fishing again.
Cedar Grove, W.Va., native Jeremy Starks hardly quits thinking about fishing, and for good reason -- it's his day job.

Starks, who Herd fans may remember was out on the 50-yard-line for the coin-flip for last year's WVU vs. Marshall football game, is gearing up to fish again as the 13-date ESPN Bassmaster Elite Series starts up Thursday through Sunday at Lake Amistad in Del Rio, Texas.
