The KG YMCA is ‘part of the fabric of the community’ Phyllis Cook

POSTAL CUSTOMER

praising their “leadership and foresight” on bringing the YMCA to the county.

“Everyone says that Disney has the corner on magic, but I would disagree with that statement,” Clark said. “I have seen real magic happen when lives are changed right here in King George County.”

Clark defined that magic, saying it included the following examples: “When a special needs student who was afraid of the water now swim laps; when a dad who just lost his wife and gets help with the cost of membership and after-school care; the smile of a senior who can move better after the water arthritis class; or the smile of a child when a mentor spends one-onone time with that child.”

She added, “I dare say this is a magic that Disney will never create, but you all have by bringing the YMCA to King George County.”

The King George Board of Supervisors was provided a substantial report on the King George Family YMCA that opened in the county five years ago.

The report to the community was provided at the Oct. 1 meeting of the Board of Supervisors by Elizabeth Clark, executive director of the King George Family YMCA since it opened, with help from a couple of her board members, David Clare and Jim Howard, giving details about YMCA programs.

“I asked you to give this report and it is hard to believe that the Y has been up and operational for five years already,” Chairman Dale Sisson said. “It’s part of the fabric of our community.”

Supervisors were clearly impressed by the report.

Shiloh Supervisor Cedell Brooks spoke first following the YMCA report.

“One comment that I have is a very STRENGTH IN COMMUNITY Clark introduced the chairman of positive comment,” Brooks said. “From the onset of the YMCA, one of my the King George Family YMCA board, main concerns was that nobody would David Clare, who is also senior vice be turned away and everybody didn’t president of Union First Market Bank.

Operation INASMUCH

Luke Miller

At the Masonic Lodge #314, Inasmuch volunteers constructed a covered entrance to the building as part of a county-wide day of service and compassion Saturday, Oct. 5. More than 300 people volunteered to work on projects at Historyland Trailer Park, Heritage Hall, the Village of Emmaus and others. They trimmed shrubs, did housework, created thank you cards for wounded servicemen, provided drama and music entertainment and much more in the 13 projects they tackled this year.

BOS updated on Nice Bridge project Phyllis Cook The King George Board of Supervisors was provided an update on the next phases of the Harry W. Nice Bridge rebuilding project planned to go replace the existing bridge over the Potomac River.

This will be the next step toward eventual construction of a planned new bridge slated to replace the bridge across the Potomac River on U.S. 301, which connects Maryland and Virginia, from Charles County, Md., to King George. The existing bridge opened in December 1940. The most recent available traffic count, in fiscal year 2011, put the volume at 6.8 million vehicles annually.

Supervisors also got news about some maintenance activity that will take place on the existing 73-year-old, two-lane bridge funded for next fiscal year.

The report was provided by Glen Smith, planning manager for the Maryland Transit Authority’s (MDTA) capital planning, and MDTA engineer Will Pines, bridge and tunnel manager.

The pair noted that the Harry W. Nice Bridge Improvement Project is entering its second phase, with the recent allocation by the MDTA of $6.1 million in fund-

ing for preliminary engineering of the major bridge construction project.

NEPA STUDY Smith’s part of the presentation included the history of the planning study and the November 2012 approval of a final environmental assessment document by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), saying it was a major milestone. That was the culmination of the planning phase which had begun in 2006 and took six years to complete.

Once that happened, Smith said, “The project then became a candidate for funding of additional phases, such as engineering, right-of-way acquisition, as well as construction.”

Funding of $6.1 million toward preliminary engineering being made available now is one of the many steps to take place before a new replacement bridge is built. Funding will be needed for final engineering and design, right-of-way acquisition, and then, finally construction of a new bridge.

The project had come to a halt for about a year at See Bridge, page 6

Get energy-efficient appliances tax free Tax holiday this weekend, Oct. 11-14 Phyllis Cook Virginia’s seventh annual Energy Star and WaterSense Sales Tax Holiday returns this Friday, Oct. 11, and lasts through Monday, Oct. 14 for the entire Columbus Day Holiday weekend.

In the market for a new kitchen appliance? Want a new clothes washer or ceiling fan? How about replacing showerheads? Considering updating your bathroom with new faucet fixtures or low water-flow toilet?

Or are you just thinking about buying some compact fluorescent light bulbs to replace the conventional bulbs throughout your house to save on electricity?

All those products and more are eligible to be sold sales-tax-free in Virginia during the Columbus Day holiday weekend of Oct. 11-14.

Each qualifying product must cost $2,500 or less, have either an Energy Star or WaterSense label affixed, and be purchased for personal or noncommercial use.

Qualifying Energy Star products

include air conditioners, ceiling fans, washing machines, dishwashers, dehumidifiers, refrigerators and compact fluorescent light bulbs. WaterSense labeled sink faucets, faucet accessories, toilets, shower heads, urinals and landscape irrigation controllers will also be tax-exempt.

MCDONNELL TOUTS BENEFITS OF SAVINGS Governor Bob McDonnell is urging Virginians to benefit from this sales tax holiday.

“If there’s one thing most of us can relate to this time of year, it’s a desire to lower our energy bills,” McDonnell said last week, adding it was also good for the environment.

McDonnell added, “Even if you’re not in the market for new appliances, everyone needs light bulbs, and CFLs (compact fluorescent light bulbs) are included in the holiday. I urge everyone who needs these products to go out and take advantage of this long money-saving weekend.”

The Energy Star and WaterSense Sales Tax Holiday is scheduled to begin at 12:01 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 11, 2013 and to end at midnight on Monday, Oct. 14, 2013.

GUIDELINES AND COMPLETE LIST POSTED ONLINE The Virginia Department of Taxation has posted guidelines, frequently asked questions, and a list of approved items on its website at tax. virginia.gov.

Purchases made online for qualifying Energy Star and WaterSense products will also be exempt from the sales tax, as long as the orders are placed during the Oct. 11-14 exemption period and the sellers have the items available for immediate shipment.

However, not every Energy Star product will qualify for the Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday.

Only those Energy Star dishwashers, clothes washers, air conditioners, ceiling fans, compact fluorescent light bulbs, dehumidifiers, programmable thermostats, and refrigerators, with a selling price of $2,500 or less per item, and that are purchased for noncommercial or personal use will be eligible for exemption during the Energy Star Sales Tax Holiday.

Those with a specific purchase in mind are urged to check the list at the state website noted above to ensure that purchase is sales tax-exempt.

A proposed lease for Hunter Field and the gym at old King George Elementary School could be one of the topics at an upcoming joint meeting proposed to take place between the King George Board of Supervisors and the county School Board. No date has been set yet.

Supervisor Chairman Dale Sisson said last week at the Oct. 1 meeting during his board report, that he’d had a recent lunch with Chairman John Davis of the School Board.

He said they had discussed the possibility of their two boards getting together sometime in the next several weeks. Sisson received the board’s concurrence to request that county administrator Travis Quesenberry coordinate with school division superintendent Rob Benson to come up with some potential dates that might work for a meeting 6-8 weeks out.

The topic of a joint meeting had likewise been broached at the last meeting of the School Board on Sept. 23, when that group was reviewing a previous revised draft document for leasing Hunter Field to the county.

HUNTER FIELD LEASE The two boards have been passing drafts of a proposed lease for Hunter Field and the gym back and forth through county attorney Eric Gregory over the summer.

School Board members could not come to agreement on a revised draft on Sept. 23, with Rick Randall and Mike Rose basically in favor of the latest version, but with questions remaining from Kristin Tolliver and Ken Novell.

Davis had suggested at the time, as at previous meetings, that the two boards may have to meet to hash out terms.

Sisson told his board last week that he and Davis had discussed the lease.

“There were a couple of minor items that he asked me to check on,” he added. “So I’ll pass those along to the county attorney, and Eric can scrub that and get it back to all of us.”

The various drafts of the lease had become more and more specific, with attempts requested to insert language that might address any future eventuality that could occur over a 50-year lease term.

As more specific language was suggested, the more complex the document appeared to get. Supervisors had suggested at a meeting on Sept. 17 that wording be more general.

“It was looking to me like it was one government entity dealing with a nongovernment entity,” Supervisor John LoBuglio said.

A similar sentiment had been leveled by School Board member Ken Novell at a meeting on Sept. 9, saying, “We are two organizations working for the ends, the benefit of the county.

And this doesn’t sound like it.”

Supervisor Joe Grzeika said, “The last iteration I saw, looked like we were trying to anticipate future problems and solve them today.”

Gregory agreed and the most recent public version had been more general, with Gregory saying, “You can’t always deal with everything in the future,” and adding, “Some of these things have to be open-ended.” He also said of the last See Meeting, page 6

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

Redskins fans: What’s in a name?

When I was little I had a Washington Redskins watch cap that I kept until it frayed so badly that it almost became unrecognizable. Heaven help the kid who tried to take it away from me. They were, after all, our team.

Names like Vince Lombardi, George Allen, Joe Theisman, Billy Kilmer, and David S. Kerr Sonny Jurgensen are the stuff of legends. Of course, that was then. Today, I follow the ups and downs of RGIII with the same rapt attention I gave those now retired and departed greats. But, over the past few years, a worry has crept into my thinking. Perhaps, its time Washington’s football team changed its name.

This has been hashed out in the press, letters to the editor, and over

water coolers for years. But, come on, it’s the 21st century and names like Redskins just aren’t appropriate anymore. That is, if they ever were.

And no, lest I provoke the immediate reflex of being told that this is all about political correctness, it isn’t.

Rather, I think of what my grandmother said when telling me why I shouldn’t use an unfortunate word to describe someone of another race, “It’s just not nice.” To a Southerner, that’s all I needed to hear.

Besides, there is nothing all that sacrosanct about the name of a football team. Sure there is tradition, but teams have changed their names before. Remember the Washington Bullets, the Baltimore Colts and the Washington Senators? Each one of them changed their names. Also, the Redskins weren’t always the Redskins. Before they moved to Washington for the 1937 season, in Boston where the team began, they were the Braves. That was a much better name, but their owner, George Preston Marshall, an impressive figure,

but well known for his hostility to minorities of all kinds, changed the name to Redskins. And it stuck.

Now, what’s the big deal about calling the team the Redskins anyway?

It’s a football team for crying out loud. Fair enough, but Redskin isn’t just another name for Native Americans. It was never, borrowing from Grandma again, a nice name. It was always hostile and pejorative. For Native Americans it’s a lot like the N word. That’s an epithet for African Americans so egregious that spelling it out is never done in a decent newspaper. Considered in that context it gives this discussion an entirely different light. American Indians have wanted to change the name of the team for decades. Maybe it’s time we listened to them.

President Obama recently suggested that the team’s owner consider changing the name of the franchise.

It was restrained and thoughtful suggestion. However, in this hyper-partisan environment, I am not sure he did the cause of changing the team’s

name any good or not. Curiously though, the last time an administration weighed in on an issue concerning the Capitol’s football team was when Robert Kennedy, at John Kennedy’s request, put pressure on team owner Marshall to integrate the team. The Federal government owned the football stadium and could have told the Redskins to play elsewhere. The Redskins, under the very team owner who gave them the Redskins moniker was just about the last owner in professional football to integrate his team.

Very few events unify our region quite like the Redskins. From the Maryland suburbs, to West Virginia, Richmond and the Northern Neck, when it’s game time, the roads and the stores are all but empty. Almost every household is glued to the TV. And those who aren’t watching the game often want to know the score as soon as it’s available. But maybe it’s time that we exercised a little thoughtfulness and, instead of “Redskins,” found a nice name for our team.

OP-ED

Are you complaining or participating?

Ruby Brabo Are you truly aware of what is happening with regards to your local county government? Until something hits you square in the eye or is parked at your door step, are you asking questions or participating?

If not, you may be too late to make a change.

Do you know what your local elected officials are discussing and deciding on your behalf? Do you really understand what impact those decisions have on your family and your property? Much of the time our focus is on the state and national level and it’s hard to stay informed with all that is happening. However, know that your voice is always heard more on the local level than at the national level.

Everyone has different interests and passions.

No one person has the time to devote to every issue facing the county. But before you complain, be sure you are engaged enough to understand how decisions will impact your quality of life before they do. Be sure you are engaged enough to have a voice in determining the outcome as you will be the one who has to live with it.

“Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote.” — George Jean Nathan Well said. Of the more than 15,000 registered voters in King George for the 2009 election (nonpresidential), only 5,195 (38 percent) registered

voters in King George exercised their right to vote.

That’s it. What happened to the other 10,000 registered voters? For the 2012 election (presidential), 67 percent of the registered voters in King George turned out to vote. Once again, 2013 is a non-presidential election year. Your participation in this year’s election is vital to the future of King George County and your family. Are you going to vote?

Election Day is fast approaching, and — quite literally — every vote makes a difference. Sadly, King George residents are not known for their activism when it comes to participating in their right to vote, but I am encouraged by the increased interest in our local government just over the past two years.

Recognizing that both the Shiloh District and James Monroe District have candidates on the this year’s ballot, it is interesting to note that in 2009, when those seats were last up for election, only 40 percent of the registered voters in the James Monroe District voted, while barely 36 percent of the registered voters in the Shiloh District voted. We can do better than that; we have to do better than that! Your quality of life depends on it.

To be eligible to vote on Nov. 5, you must be registered by 5 p.m., Oct. 15, 2013. As of this year, you can now easily register to vote online at www.sbe. state.va.us. Unless your driver’s license number is used when applying online, you will need to print

a paper copy of your completed application and mail or drop it off at the Registrar’s office by the Oct. 15 deadline. The Registrar’s office is located in the Revercomb Building, 10459 Courthouse Drive Suite 102. Their hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday – Friday.

Absentee voting has already started. Anyone who will be out of their precinct on Election Day can go to the Registrar’s office and absentee vote.

No appointment necessary. Absentee voting will continue in person until Nov. 2. The offices of the General Registrar will be open two Saturdays (Oct. 26 and Nov. 2) prior to the Election from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for absentee voting.

An absentee ballot application can also be downloaded from the same website referenced above. If you wish to have an absentee ballot mailed to you, the completed application must be turned into the Registrar’s office by Oct. 29, which is the very last day that a ballot can be mailed to voters. If you have any questions, call the Registrar’s office: (540) 775-9186.

On Nov. 5, the polls open at 6 a.m. and will close promptly at 7 p.m. Be sure to bring your voter identification or some other form of picture ID proving your address.

So, are you going to complain or are you going to participate by voting?

One vote can make a difference!

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Compassion is your speciality, Pisces. Others appreciate your warm nature, so accept their gratitude and affection.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Letter to the Editor Is America Still a Christian Nation? You Decide “God bless America, land that I love. Stand beside her and guide her through the night with the light from above …” Such a beautiful song, such beautiful words. Do we as a nation still want the God of the Bible to shine His light and Word on America? The first book taught in our schools was the Bible. Schools of higher learning like Yale, Harvard, Dartmouth and others built their foundational teaching on the gospel of Jesus Christ. Since the beginning of this nation the Bible, prayer and the Ten Commandments could be found in our schools. Then in the ’60s the Bible and prayer were taken out of schools. Later the Ten Commandments were not only removed from our schools but from government and state property. Every chance it gets, the ACLU tries to remove every mention of God from our society. In many schools students cannot wear crosses as jewelry.

The reason is it might offend someone. Today our schools are great in tolerance (except toward Christianity) and political correctness. Now our military is not allowed to share Jesus Christ or share the Bible. Do we still want God and His Word to be the Light of America?

For two elections Christians have helped elect President Obama. One election maybe understandable, but twice you decide. Obama believes in abortion, partial birth-abortion and if there is a botched abortion, the child is not allowed to receive any help, just left to die. God hates the shedding of innocent blood. President Obama claims to be a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ. In an interview President Obama said, “All people of faith — Christians, Jews, Muslims, Animists, everyone knows the same God.” When it comes to homosexuality and same-sex marriage, he opposes the traditional, biblical and

historical standards of the Christian faith, one man and one woman in marriage. Obama has said that the Islamic evening call to prayer is one of the most beautiful sounds on earth.

The president was asked if he believed in sin and he said, “Yes.” He was then asked to describe sin. He said, “Being out of alignment with my values.”

Sin is not based on any of man’s standards, but on obedience to God and His word. Twice Christians helped elect this man. Christians should examine their lives to see if they really are in the faith.

Many churches believe in abortion, homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Early on in this nation repentance, holiness and righteousness was proclaimed from the pulpits of America. Today, feel-good sermons, tolerance, mid-life crisis sermons are now being heard. Some churches take surveys in the community to see what the people want from a church. When the Word of God was exalted, the name of Jesus Christ was honored; it gave this nation strength and stability. Since we have rejected God, His Word, His commandments and Jesus Christ, our nation has been falling apart.

The

Are we still a Christian nation?

America has killed over 55 million babies, God’s creation, and counting. With today’s technology we can see the baby’s face grimacing in pain and terror as it fights for its life. Will there be consequences for killing millions of babies! Think about those 55 million babies when Obamacare is

fully implemented and we become a government-run health care nation.

The Bible says if we would ask forgiveness of our sins and turn away from all evil, Jesus Christ will forgive our sins and heal our land. Time is running out for America.

Psalm 55:14 We who had sweet fellowship together, walked in the house of God in the throng.

What does the Bible say about the vital nature of Christian hope? “. . . Eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. For we are saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.”

Romans 8:23-25 We have arrived at the busy season.

It is a season of expectations, hope, waiting, and joy; and accompanied by deadlines, diminished daylight, and fussy kids “generously served over a bed” of the regular chores of daily life. How we love the holidays, the expectations of the comings and goings of loved ones, of celebratory preparations, of gift giving and receiving, of ornaments and of traditions! In the midst of all the hustle, bustle, and bother we know that there is a date on the calendar upon which all our hopes are founded and to which our minds are incessantly drawn. Though we would prefer to have our “Currier and Ives” Christmas dreams come true, often reality falls short of our expectation and we find ourselves worn out with the stress of it all – though we manage to make memories and spread a bit of Christ’s love while remembering our Savior and our God. There is a lesson in this season for the informed Christian which is found in Romans chapter eight.

This grand and glorious chapter of Paul’s expounds the spiritual blessings of genuine believers that were procured through the inestimable blood of Jesus Christ. Along with salvation, our God gives us the gift of the indwelling Holy Spirit. The role of the Holy Spirit is to enable Christians to live free from condemnation

(1-8), pursue a life of Spirit led decisions (9-14), face the trials of life with hope (15-25), as He energizes a fervent and effectual prayer life (2630). The rest of the chapter assures every believer of the undying love of God that reaches every believer’s heart, no matter what is coming at you. The simple lesson, which is also fitting for this season of busyness, is this: “do not lose sight of the glorious hope you have in God!” Verses 15 to 25 call us to face the trials of life with hope. What kind of hope? It appears to be a reflected hope (v. 18). Paul tells us to calculate the present sufferings and come to the definite conclusion that they are not of the same weight (“worthy”) as the glory which shall be made manifest in (lit. “upon”) us – meaning that God will glorify Himself in and through you so that His glory is reflected from your life (2 Thessalonians 1:5-10, 1 Peter 1:7, 4:13). This hope does not come from within and is not a self-generated hope, it is rather an expectant hope. Remember, biblical hope retains no shadow of the uncertainties of earthbound hopes. Instead, biblical hope is a certainty not yet realized.

It appears to be a shared hope (v.

19-21). Even as all of the natural creation groans in seemingly aimless idleness and futility, because of the sin of Adam subjected to the bondage of corruption, we also groan under the labors of life in this sinful world. Yet, the hope of the believer is shared by all of creation in that believers will one day be revealed as Sons of God who are the recipients of glorious liberty in Christ. In this shared hope there is shared expectancy (watch with anxious longing and outstretched look, literally “away the head”). There is a certain sense

By rick crookshank in which both Creation and believers await the time for the completed redemption.

It appears to be an inextinguishable hope (v. 22-23). The proof of your hope is found in the groaning labor of creation around you and the very sighing of your heart as evidenced by the firstfruit work of the Holy Spirit within you. It is an unquenchable longing that beats within the chest of every believer for the finished work of God’s completed redemption (Philippians 1:6).

It appears to be a characteristic hope (v. 24-25). Our text states that we are saved in this hope, meaning “in that hope we are saved.” This hope is not a “work for salvation,” rather it is a mark of the saved life. The believer is a person who is characterized by an inextinguishable, shared hope of reflecting the glory of God, however imperfect as we currently are, until the final and full manifestation of adoption and sonship - when we are fully perfect before the throne of God. The hope of adoption is one of pardon, forgiveness, acceptance, security, and sanctification. With this kind of living hope reverberating in your redeemed heart, in full knowledge that nothing can separate you from the love of God, face the world in this season, and in every other season, in confident expectation of Christ’s victory. Trust and obey.

Shirley Plantation is proud to partner with the Philip Carter Winery.

Charles Carter advocated commercial winemaking and was the first to successfully produce grapes in Virginia with European vines and the first to win a gold medal for American wine production from the Royal Society of Arts in London in 1762.

Today, Philip Carter Strother, a direct descendant of Robert “King” family, owns and operates the Philip Carter Winery and was instrumental in the passage of The Virginia Farm Winery Zoning Act which promotes the economic vitality of the Virginia wine industry. As a way of honoring his family legacy, Philip Carter Strother labels the wines from his vineyard according to Carter family estates.

Scouting for Food Combined units of Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venture Crews, and Girls Scouts will be distributing “Scouting for Food” bags throughout Colonial Beach, VA, on October 26, 2013.

On November 2, 2013, the Scouts will return to the neighborhoods to collect the donation bags, return them to the Church, sort them, and store them in the Church’s Food Panty.

PLEASE NOTE: All food collected remains in Colonial Beach, in the Colonial Beach Baptist Church’s Food Pantry to help those who need assistance locally.

• The Colonial Beach Baptist Church has been helping 30 to 35 families a week with food donations (sometimes more).

That does not sound like too many, right? However, each week it is a different 30 to 35 families or approximately 130+ families per month the church is assisting.

• When the food runs out and the shelves are devoid of food products the Church reaches into their Congregational Funds and spends around $300.00 a week at the grocery store to restock the shelves.

• So this October/November help us to help the community food pantry at the Colonial Beach Baptist Church.

• The combined units of Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, Venture Crew, and Girls Scouts will be distributing “Scouting for Food” bags throughout the community on Saturday the 26 starting at 9:30 – 10:00 AM from the Colonial Beach Baptist Church on Garfield Avenue.

The Journal

Bridge: $13.2M set aside for care of current bridge From page 1 the end of November 2012, when the NEPA document was approved by the Federal Highway Administration with a finding of “no significant impact.”

Smith pointed out that the environmental assessment was performed according to a process set by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), even though federal funds are not currently anticipated for replacement bridge construction. In 2012, MDTA estimated the cost of the planned new bridge, along with the subsequent removal of the existing bridge, to be in the range of $833 million to $916 million.

“Normally, the Authority does not receive federal funds, but we follow the federal process for a couple of reasons,” Smith said. “One of them, in the event that we ever did get federal funding means we wouldn’t have to backtrack and do this process, and also, as part of this process we are going to have to receive a permit from the Coast Guard, and that constitutes federal action.”

PRELIMINARY ENGINEERING FOR NEW 4-LANE BRIDGE The preliminary engineering phase of the project will take place during fiscal years 2014 and 2015. Work has been identified for such activities as geotechnical work related to ordnance detection and removal.

The preferred construction alternate that was selected last year is referred to as Modified Alternate 7.It is ultimately planned to include a new four-lane bridge parallel and to the north of the existing bridge. It will have a two-way barrier-separated bike/pedestrian path on the south side.

In the meantime, while the project is transitioning from its planning stage

to the preliminary engineering stage, the MDTA has also programmed funding for future maintenance on the existing bridge. $13.2 million has been identified in fiscal years 2014 and 2015 to assist in extending the service life of the existing bridge.

That work is expected to include concrete deck repairs, deck sealing, and rehabilitation of the catwalk.

The existing bridge has one 11-foot travel lane in each direction with no median separation and no shoulders.

Bridge and tunnel engineer Pines responded to a question from Sisson in regard to the scope of the maintenance project and whether that would require long-term single lane closures or complete night-time bridge closures as it did in 1985 when the last deck rehabilitation took place.

Pines said that is not the scale of the project, saying it was routing maintenance, and adding, “There is no money for a major redecking.”

Redecking had been one of the “no-build” options considered during the planning study and had been estimated in 2009 to cost upward of $110 million to $120 million.

Supervisor Joe Grzeika noted that the current plans for maintenance and also for the preliminary engineering keeps the project going forward, saying that was good news.

That’s good news for Maryland, which owns and operates the 1.7-mile two-lane bridge, and is also good news for King George commuters, using the bridge regularly, or residents who only use it occasionally.

Smith also had pointed out that the continued operation of the bridge is necessary and essential for military transportation between Dahlgren and Indian Head.

Meeting: Between BOS, SB From page 1 version, “There is a provision in the lease to amend it in the future.”

USE OF FACILITIES Sisson said other possible topics for a joint meeting could include facility usage and maintenance. He added, “The joint use agreement that we have for Parks & Rec is important to them as well.”

There are other facilities-related topics that might also be appropriate for that future conversation.

Supervisors would be interested to hear about the School Board’s recent decision to retain the former middle school building and make a plan for its future use, likely for one grade of middle school students.

Another topic that might fit with that theme could be an update by the county to the School Board on the county’s ongoing renovation of a facility on US 301 (James Madison Parkway) to be used for school bus maintenance.

When that renovation is completed in about a year, the property will be ready for use as a vehicle maintenance facility, with its first expected use to be solely for the School Board to service school buses and other school division-owned vehicles, with its fleet mechanics.

It is anticipated that the School Board would move its vehicle maintenance operation from its small, antiquated structure located on Millbank Road (Route 610), behind the old King George Elementary school building.

County vehicle maintenance could

be added later. For the county to use the facility to service its fleets of vehicles under county departments, along with the Sheriff ’s Department and the Service Authority, it must address budget and personnel issues related to staffing for qualified mechanics in the future, since the county does not currently employ any. Instead it relies on local businesses to service its vehicles.

PRE-BUDGET SESSION Sisson also said last week that he and Davis spoke about the need to also include some talk about budgeting prior to the start of that process for the next fiscal year.

During his board report, Sisson had remarked about the upcoming budget process in general, referring to talk about it during a breakfast meeting the previous week with state legislators.

Those included Senators Richard Stuart and Ryan McDougle, and Delegate Margaret Ransone on Sept. 27.

“There was a pretty tough picture being painted of the budget for the coming year, so we’ll put that out there right now. That’s what dominated a good part of our discussion,” Sisson said.

He added, “The things that are going on with federal budget that we’re seeing today have an impact at the state level, and therefore have an impact at the local level.”

He also noted, “A lot of new burdens are being handed down from the federal side that will have to be absorbed at the state level, which will definitely impact the allocations to us as a locality.

So just forewarning — it’s going to be a fun budget cycle.”

YMCA: Building community and bolstering families From page 1 SWIM PROGRAM FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS • 2012-2013 school year - 3 classes from King George High School with special needs were transported to the Y every Thursday for one hour learning how to swim. These students have some of the most severe needs in the high school.

• The King George YMCA provided four lifeguards, two volunteers, and seven teachers for no charge to teach this program.

• This was a very specialized program and required the staff to get their adapted swim certification to offer this course to the students.

• This program became the pioneer program for the 2013-2014 YMCA Learn to Swim Program for the county second graders.

• Students just did not come and play in the pool — they learned how to swim. Several of these students were then promoted to community swim leagues. This would have never happened without this foundational program. Every student went to the next level of their swim abilities.

SECURED FUNDING & FACILITATED KING GEORGE “GET HEALTHY” COALITION • The coalition members include the King George Family YMCA, King George Parks and Recreation, Wendy Moore Dentistry, King George Farmers’ Market, Virginia Cooperative Extension, Optimist Club and the King George County Schools.

• Over 100 community citizens attended the 2013 National Night Out. WATER FITNESS CLASSES FOR SENIORS • Exercising in water makes you feel about 90 percent lighter, reports the American Council on Exercise.

When you jump or run in the water, your body does not experience the same impact these moves cause on land. This makes water aerobics an ideal activity for those with arthritis, back problems, foot or leg injuries, and knee conditions.

• Received a $9,000 grant from the Community Foundation for a pool and spa lift and an aqua treadmill to give seniors more availability for the pool. The Community Foundation distributes grants to a variety of nonprofit programs, organizations and other community-oriented charitable efforts that benefit area residents, as well as scholarships to local students.

PROGRAMS COMING SOON Howard next mentioned programs that are starting up or being planned at the Y. YMCA LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAM • Drowning is the No. 2 cause of accidental death among children under 14 years of age. Additionally, 12,000 children a year are left with a permanent disability from a near drowning.

• The objective is to provide swim lessons to every second grader in the county school system. A pilot pro-

gram will begin in November of 2013 with Potomac Elementary students.

INITIATING TEEN LEADERS PROGRAM • YMCA Leaders’ Club starting in 2014 will provide teens in 7th 12th grade with knowledge, training, communication skills and valuable team-building experience through volunteering in Y programs and the community. Leaders’ Club will train teens to better serve their community through the Y as they encourage each other to make a positive impact for present and future generations.

The Y is committed to nurturing children and teens and contributing to their success.

PARKINSON’S DISEASE AND CANCER EXERCISE PROGRAMS • Exercise is an important part of healthy living for everyone. However, for people with Parkinson’s disease exercise is not only healthy, but a vital component to maintaining balance, mobility and daily living activities.

• In the past, people being treated for a chronic illness (an illness a person may live with for a long time, like cancer or diabetes) were often told by their doctor to rest and reduce their physical activity. This is good advice if movement causes pain, rapid heart rate, or shortness of breath. But newer research has shown that exercise is not only safe and possible during cancer treatment, but it can improve how well you function physically and your quality of life.

• During 2014 the King George YMCA will provide opportunities for people with Parkinson’s disease and cancer with exercises classes created especially for their illness.

FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES Howard spoke about fundraising efforts for the community programs.

Every year the King George Family YMCA Board of Directors and staff raise money for the Jay Massad Annual Support Campaign. The Y is open to all — no matter their background or income. And if you belong to the Y in King George, you belong to the Y in Fredericksburg, Spotsylvania and wherever. The KGY Board collectively has raised $80,000 over the last 5 years to support the cause of the Y. Each year the KGY board members give personally, get gifts and support events so that the Y is open to all. A couple of events the Y holds are Casino Night and, most recently, a golf tournament. Howard said the golf tournament was very successful for the first year, bringing in more than $8,000, which will be used for some of these youth programs and others.

Howard finished up, saying, there are three questions that we usually ask, and we answer them: What do people find at the Y? Strength; what do Y volunteers do? They give back; and what do kids do at the KG Family YMCA? They grow.

Sisson noted that there were a couple of other Y board members in the audience, welcoming and thanking Sheriff Dempsey and Julie Kaifa, adding she is a charter board member and been there since the start.

KGHS DECA hosts Lifesaving EMT skills proved vital to saving Culpeper volleyball player dodgeball tournament Savanna Cramer

Leonard Banks Sports editor September 12th, 2013, will forever be embedded in the mind of King George Middle School science teacher Patrick Simmons. On that date, Simmons’ actions may have saved the life of a Culpeper volleyball player. The mild-mannered educator has many talents, but his paramedic skills became crucial to reviving the breathing functions of a young athlete suffering the effects of asthma.

Normally, his week consists of teaching science, martial arts practice, officiating soccer and volleyball games, and working as a volunteer EMT-Paramedic for the Cumberland Volunteer Rescue Squad. However, shortly after this volleyball game featuring the visiting Culpeper Blue Devils and Spotsylvania Knights, where both he and his father, Roger, officiated, Simmons made a splitsecond choice to use his training as a paramedic to assist a player in desperate need of help.

“After the varsity match had ended, we were hanging around, while my dad was changing his shoes,” Simmons said. “Suddenly, a varsity player from the Culpeper team came out of the locker room with her parents, and they were calling for the trainer. She was having an asthma attack, but the trainer was not in the gym at the time. After I identified myself as a paramedic, I was told by her parents that she was trying to use her inhaler, and it was not working.”

According to Simmons, the parents of this player helped sit her down to use her inhaler, but it didn’t

“My referee assigner called and asked, ‘How did the match go tonight?’

I responded, ‘you may not have sent the best referee, but you sent the right one’.”

—Patrick Simmons work, and the player passed out.

After placing her on the floor, and realizing that she was not breathing sufficiently, Simmons began using a bag valve mask, provided to him by the Spotsylvania athletic trainer, to give rescue breaths to this player, who was now in respiratory arrest.

Calling for an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) and preparing for the worst, Simmons and the trainer, who had arrived to help, were able to bag the albuterol into her lungs. Albuterol is a smooth muscle relaxer used to help dilate a person’s airway to allow airflow into the lungs.

After about five minutes of rescue breaths, the player began coughing and breathing on her own. She was placed into the recover position and monitored by Simmons and the trainer until the ambulance arrived to transport her to the hospital. She

“When I work rescue, I’m used to being in an ambulance, surrounded by equipment and the medications needed to help someone in an emergency. This experience was different, as I had to wait for the ambulance to arrive, and provide care in the meantime.

I was scared for this player. We kept her breathing, and kept her from going into cardiac arrest, and it was definitely a team effort with the athletic trainer.”

Simmons admits he is happy to use his training, wherever it is needed. “My referee assigner called

and asked, ‘How did the match go tonight?’ I responded, ‘you may not have sent the best referee, but you sent the right one’,” Simmons said.

Simmons is certified as a National Registry EMT-Paramedic, and an American Heart Association BLS/CPR instructor.

He is a life member of the Cumberland Volunteer Rescue Squad, located in Cumberland. Prior to joining the Cumberland Squad in 1998, he earned his EMT in 1996, at the age of 16, through courses offered to him as a high school student, taught by Science teacher Ken Chatham, who along with Rondy Wright, inspired him to become a science teacher.

King George Elite AAU football has arrived Leonard Banks Sports Editor

Re R N ad en ew y ov ly fo at r T ed en an ts

The King George Elite football program has arrived in King George.

In fact, the program arrived in its infancy during the spring, as a competitive flag football program.

The program, started by certified Speed & Agility Youth Nutritionist Keith Rose, is comprised of three teams (8U, 10U, and 12U age groups).

“Our kids are all younger players, and most of them have not played tackle football before,” Rose said.

“After the first scrimmage, the coaches went back to the basics, getting them more aggressive and accustomed to hitting. The majority of our players have improved a lot since day one.”

The teams compete in the Virginia AAU District, and are part of the Virginia Athletic Conference (VAC10).

Area competition includes fellow VAC10 members, Fredericksburg Canes, and Spotsylvania Cougars. In addition, their competition will also include Virginia Beach, Lynchburg, and Orange.

The remaining schedule includes road trips to the Richmond City Spiders (Oct. 12), home games versus Fredericksburg (Oct. 19), and a home game against Lynchburg (Oct. 26). The competition will allow King George to meet AAU requirements.

The ultimate goal for all King George teams is to finish in the top four, which will earn the Foxes the right to host the playoff semi-finals.

The AAU program is completely separate from all other local football

“I feel in order for the kids in King George to compete against outside organizations, when they get to high school football, they will need a foundation.”

Last Thursday night, Oct. 3, was an all-out dodgeball brawl between eight teams for the ultimate prize of fun, entertainment, and specially-made t-shirts. But that wasn’t all. This event helped raise money for iPads for the Special Needs Programs in every elementary school in the county. The King George High School DECA and Advanced Sports Marketing Class held its annual dodgeball tournament for the 2013-2014 school year.

Every year, this event is held to raise money for a certain charity of the classes’ choice or a charity that they make up. This year, the dodgeball tournament wouldn’t have been possible if it were not for the hard work of two seniors, Becca Leonard and Lena Easingwood.

These two students started to plan this event back June before the 201213 school year ended.

Becca Leonard explained that the planning started early because “We first had to talk to each Special Needs teacher in the county to find what the needs were in the classrooms.

Once we figured out we were raising money for iPads, we knew it would be a lot of work. We had to reserve the gym and choose a date before the 2012-2013 school year ended.

We knew that over the summer, our planning would start to slow. We wanted to get an early start so we didn’t have any last minute things.

Once school started, we started getting it out in the newspapers and on the King George alerts to get the county involved.” So after months of planning, eight teams were made up from elementary, middle, and high school teachers along with high school student teams, as well.

From all the teams that participated, only one came out victorious. Team FSU won against team MooseKnuckle in a three-game match.

Team Captain for FSU, Chris Zylonis commented “Winning felt great, especially because losing in the final last year, and coming back felt like great redemption, but more importantly, the win this year felt like a feeling I couldn’t even imagine.

Being a part of the event and helping raise the money for the iPads and helping the community gives me a sense of pride. My team and I were just glad that we could help the best we could.”

The evening turned out to be a great success. Between the dodgeball tournament and the coin drive that was held two weeks prior, $1,400 was made for the iPads. The girls tripled the proceeds from last year.

The two seniors were asked if they were satisfied with the outcome of the night. “I think it went well. We achieved an important goal, which was community involvement, and to raise money for the iPads. From what I have heard and saw, everyone had a great time,” stated Easingwood.

“I felt that Lena and I accomplished everything we set out to do. We wanted to have a fun, entertaining evening that the community could be a part of. I wouldn’t change a single thing,” stated Leonard.

In about a week or two, both of the girls are going to sit down with the Special Education Board and discuss how much more money needs to be raised. The whole night was carefully planned out and was a huge success.

A special thanks goes out to Mrs. Strauss, Mrs. Shea, and Mrs. Beuche.

Without their classes, they couldn’t have had made that night possible.

Drifters and Trojans battle in classic area volleyball match passing errors to win 25-19.

Game two, junior varsity From the start of game two, it was apparent that the Trojans were having communication problems, as they struggled to pass and put the ball in play. After an ace by Trojan setter Kameron Duncan, it was downhill for the Trojans. The Drifters began pounding the Trojans with kills from Sariah Ndiaye and MacKenzie-Paige Monroe, which led to a 10-3 run.

Throughout the next 13 exchanges, the Trojans victimized themselves with passing errors that resulted in a 17-9 Drifter lead. Essex middle hitter Claire Wilmore ignited a 6-4 Trojan run that ended with a 21-13 Drifter lead, but the attempt to rally proved futile. Although Essex scored three additional points on a Drifter serving and two passing errors, the Drifters closed the game out on four Trojan passing miscues to win the game 25-18, and match 2-0.

These two are typical of the production of the second quarter of the 19th century.

Napoleon Bonaparte was Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s greatest enemy prior to Adolf Hitler. That British forces fought him for two decades until his ultimate defeat at Waterloo, Belgium, in June 1815, did not keep the potters from recognizing that they had a ready market, particularly in America, for items with his image on them.

The bust of Napoleon was done in concert with one of Alexander I, the Emperor of Russia, and usually they were sold as a pair, the twofold reference being to the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807, when the two

On the bust of Alexander often one finds the inscription, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Moscow burnt. Europe saved,â&#x20AC;? meaning that in his foolish invasion of Russia Napoleon decimated his forces to such an extent that the rest of Europe had the opportunity to regroup and defeat him at Waterloo three years later.

The standing figurine is worth $100; it is a nice example, but somewhat crudely molded. The bust is a fine piece of pottery, excellently molded and painted, and is worth $350. It is one of the best busts that I have seen, and could bring even more at a good auction.

OUTDOORS

My first deer William Nerney Age 9 I have been hunting for three years with my dad, two brothers and “Pop” (Rick Wilks), but haven’t yet killed a deer. This year I was hoping that I would kill a big buck.

We went to a friend’s house to try and kill a deer. The man that lives there always rides his property on a Gator, and the deer get scared away, but return in a short time after the Gator passes. He told us to ride the Gator out to the back field, because that is what the deer are used to.

My brother, Cole, drove us out to the field on the Gator and dropped us off, then went into his own blind with my other brother, Jack, and my mom.

We set up at the base of a big oak tree as if we were turkey hunting and used a small camouflage ground blind. After getting comfortable, we settled in for the wait. While waiting, we were surrounded by squirrels, and I got an itchy finger to take a few.

But Dad said, “You have an expensive slug in that gun which would ruin the squirrel and end our deer hunt.”

After a short wait, a yearling walked out of the woods at about 40 yards. I wanted to shoot it, but we don’t shoot yearlings. We enjoyed watching her feed until she walked out of sight. About 30 minutes later, a mature doe and two fawns came out on our right side, and again I wanted to shoot, but we don’t shoot

does with fawns, because we don’t want the fawns to be orphans.

After they left the field, two mature does walked out in front of us at about the same 40-yard distance, so my dad said I could shoot either one.

As I was trying to aim at the doe on the left, I moved a little too much, and the deer spooked and ran off.

After they ran off, I kind of lost hope

that there would be any more deer for me to shoot.

On the right side of us, there was a herd of doe, and I really wanted to shoot one. But it was too far, and I probably couldn’t hit it. So we texted my brothers, Cole & Jack, who were sitting in a blind with my mom and were much closer to the deer, so we told them to shoot one. Then my

brother, Cole, shot, but at first we thought he missed, so they walked over to look for blood. He didn’t see any blood, so then my dad went to look, and he looked in the woods with my brother, Jack, and found the doe with a perfect hit right behind the shoulder. I walked over and looked at the deer and was wishing I killed one.

My dad dragged the deer farther into the woods to field dress it. While dad was doing that, I walked over to the edge of the field to look for more deer. Then I started to pray that another deer would walk out. As soon as I looked up, a group of deer walked out of the woods on the edge of the field about 200 yards away. I slowly got up to walk to my dad, and I told him there is a group of deer at the edge of the field. He said that it is too far for me to shoot.

He then said, “Go over to the edge of the woods and watch the deer and tell me if they get any closer.”

I watched, but they didn’t come any closer. I told my dad they are not getting any closer. By then he was done field dressing the deer, and he said we can try to sneak up on him through the woods.

We got to an opening where I was close enough to shoot. I thought I saw a four- point buck, but he was actually a six-point. When he turned broadside, I aimed right behind his shoulder and shot. That one missed the deer completely, and he just looked up, then kept eating. I loaded another shell, and when he was broadside again, I shot, but it didn’t kill him, so I had to shoot one more time, and this one dropped him. And that is how I killed my first deer.

Outdoor Report Mark and Missy Fike Fishing was good again this week. Perhaps the heat got them going again. Hunting was tough, with very few deer arrowed, that we heard of. Hot, still woods make for tough hunting. Add in few acorns, and things can be interesting.

Rappahannock River Ken’s Tackle in Spotsylvania reported good smallmouth action in the pools upriver. Some fish topped 20 inches. Downriver, the striper were hitting near Hopyard.

We continue to hear that bass fishing on the river is very good.

Cranks and plastics continue to work equally well. Crappie started to school-up and are hitting minnows.

Potomac River Winter Harbor reported that squid is the key bait for perch and catfish. Small spot and small croaker were also caught this week.

Striper were hitting bucktails this week, but not many were caught on spoons, according to customers.

Squirrels are short on acorns and hickory nuts, so they are now eating pine cones.

Inland waters Motts Run: The fishing has been quite good for bluegills and small bass. Channel catfish were hot on chicken livers. Anglers were fishing deep to catch fish in the clear water.Local ponds are giving up nice crappie this past week. Use minnows.

Saltwater Cobia are numerous around the CBBT and further out, and some nice spot and puppy drum are caught in the Virginia Beach area, too. Red drum are still prowling

the lower Bay, and flounder fishing has been excellent in the usual haunts in the lower Bay. Some drum have been caught in the surf, as well.

Captain Ryan Rogers (804580-0245) reported incredible bluefish action, a shark and a lot of rockfish for the Virginia season opener. A few puppy drum are still around, too.

Hunting No deer, that we heard of, were checked, but then again check stations are few now, and more hunters are checking deer by phone. It was HOT on Saturday for the opening of archery season.

Squirrels and deer are finding acorns a tough nut to find this season. The squirrels are now busy eating pinecones!

My hunting adventure Ben Coffey On the youth hunting day this past Saturday, my grandfather, William (Billy) France, took me hunting on a friend’s farm in Westmoreland County. I chose to use the gun that I was most comfortable with — the Remington Magnum 1100 (12 gauge) with 3-inch shells. I was hoping to get a buck or a doe that day. Well I did get a buck, however, it wasn’t the one I would have liked to get.

My grandfather said there was a nice doe coming towards our blind.

As I prepared to shoot, I realized it wasn’t as big as we had thought. Unfortunately we couldn’t see the spikes

My first big buck Carter Lewis September 28 was going to be my last youth day hunt. Mr. Larry Carr and I went hunting. I was using his 12-gauge slug gun on my great grandparents’, Buck and Hazel Jones’ farm. We headed out at 3:30 in the afternoon and sat in a tree stand overlooking an 11-acre soybean field. It didn’t take long before a young doe came into the field. She fed a bit and then bedded down in some tall grass on the edge of the field. She later walked off into the woods. We didn’t see much after that, just a fox running across the field and a groundhog.

Then a doe and two fawns walked right under our tree stand. They fed in the field, just 10 yards in front of me.

We watched them as they crunched on soybeans, and the fawns played in the beans. Suddenly, I spotted movement on the other side of the field.

There was a spike rubbing on a sapling, 120 yards away! Right beside him, I saw a 6-pointer walking out of the woods, while 5 does were feeding in the field.

I decided that I was going to shoot the 6-pointer, but he was 120 yards away, so I waited for him to come closer. As he slowly crossed the field toward me, a spike was running around chasing the does. The 6-pointer stayed behind them, taking his time. Then suddenly, when they were 90 yards away, I heard gunfire from across the highway.

The deer all stopped. The doe and

fawns in front of me ran off. I grunted at the 6-pointer, and he stopped.

He was 60 yards away. When he stopped, a doe stopped too, and her neck was right over his vitals so I didn’t shoot. I watched them run off, and I was disappointed but decided to wait a little longer. It wasn’t too long before a nice 5-pointer walked out. He was in range, so I shot. I wasn’t sure if I hit him, though. I put my gun down, and Mr. Carr and I walked across the field and looked for him in the woods. We didn’t find any trace of him, and I felt certain that I had missed him.

Across the field I saw a huge 8-pointer 10 yards in front of the tree stand we had just left! I dropped down and crawled over to my gun. The 8-pointer stared right at me but kept feeding. I picked up the gun, then backed up just inside the tree line. I steadied up against a tree and shot. He jumped up and ran 20 yards into the beans and fell over. I ran straight to him. He was a nice buck. He was 15 inches wide.

We took him out of the field and brought him to Mr. Carr’s house.

Mr. Fike came over to help and take photographs. Then we caped him.

I’m glad I got to kill an awesome 8-pointer on my last youth day hunt. The hunt itself was awesome.

It was one of my best deer hunts I’ve ever had, and I can’t wait to get him mounted, as he is my biggest buck to date. I love hunting on my grandparents’ farm, and I hope I can hunt there for years to come.

on his head. As I was getting out of the blind I heard my grandfather say, “Uh-oh.” He realized we shot a button buck (spike), which we wanted to avoid.

When we were in the blind, I was nervous about shooting because I’m used to standing and shooting. I was scared that the chair would flip over, but after I took the shot, I didn’t have a worry in the world. As a matter of fact, the gun didn’t really feel like it kicked much. There were three of us hunting on the same farm that day.

I’m very happy I got my first deer, and no one left the farm emptyhanded that day. I’m glad I got the opportunity to go hunting with my grandfather.
