Sheriff’s officers arrest third suspect in King George gang style shootings Richard Leggitt King George Sheriff Steve Dempsey has announced the arrest of a third suspect in the double shooting last month which killed one King George man and badly injured another. Anthony William Goodman, 30, of Upper Marlboro, Md., was arrested by officers late Friday night, Dempsey said. The gang style shootings, which were apparently drug related, occurred on the evening of April 28, in a rural area of the

county. Dempsey said Ronelle Davon Johnson, 20, was found dead outside his residence on Winston Place. A second 20-year-old man, whom authorities would not identify, was also shot and was seriously injured. Both victims had their hands bound behind their backs with duct tape at the time of the shootings. Dempsey said the ensuing investigation revealed that the shootings were drug-related. Johnson died at the scene and the second victim was taken to Mary
Washington Hospital and later transferred to a hospital in Richmond. Solid police work by the sheriff ’s office led to two arrests shortly after the shootings. Tennage Michel Shanks, 42, from King George, was arrested in Colonial Beach on May 1. Michael Clinton, 28, from Bladensburg, Md., was arrested on April 30, 2014 by Prince Georges County Maryland Police. Dempsey’s officers had been seeking Goodman and had him under observation
when the suspect drove down Route 3 Friday toward the King George Sheriff ’s Office. “He apparently wanted to turn himself in,” said Dempsey. Officers stopped Goodman’s vehicle before it reached the sheriff ’s office and took him into custody without incident. Goodman was being held without bond in the Rappahannock Regional Jail. Dempsey praised Lt. Monty Cliff for his work on the case. “He has done an outstanding job of leading this investigation,” the sheriff said. He also expressed his appreciation to the

No land adjacent to Bayberry to be rezoned Phyllis Cook
Phyllis Cook The King George Board of Supervisors is vying for a new business that fabricates reinforced steel, commonly called rebar to locate at the King George Industrial Park. In addition to steel bar, reinforcing steel fabrication can produce steel mesh or wires used as tension devices for reinforcing concrete and masonry used in construction. At last week’s meeting of the Board of Supervisors on May 6, action was taken to approve a resolution and a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with HGAC, LLC, which is seeking to relocate and consolidate two of its other facilities in the state to King George. RESOLUTION The resolution provided the board’s unanimous support for HGAC’s intent to locate in King George and its application for a $450,000 grant from the state’s Industrial Access Railroad Track Funds, administered by the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation. Virginia’s Industrial Access Railroad Tracks Program helps connect businesses to freight rail service by funding the construction or improvement of railroad tracks and facilities to serve industrial sites where freight rail service is currently needed. The decision on the grant funding will be made by the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). An agenda item scheduled for last month’s CTB workshop on April 16 indicated that HGAC would construct 4,200 linear feet of track to link to the existing rail line serving a portion of the county industrial park by CSX Transportation. HGAC’s total rail infrastructure costs are estimated at $800,000. Establishment of HGAC in the county would anticipate the use of 1,000 additional railcars annually, with a $12 million project investment estimated for the proposed King George location and ten new jobs associated with the expansion project. Rail is a critical component of the proposed site for HGAC in King George. Additional sites are also being considered in North Carolina and Maryland according to the applicant. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING The MOU with King George indicates the county’s intent to also provide up to $150,000 toward See mou, page 3
FBI and other law enforcement agencies for helping King George authorities in the search for Goodman. Dempsey said Goodman, like Shanks and Clinton, has been charged with first degree murder, attempted murder first degree, malicious wounding, two counts of use of a firearm during the commission of a felony and two counts of abduction. Goodman and Clinton, who have criminal records, have also been charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

School Board mulling use of surplus funds Phyllis Cook King George school division’s Superintendent Rob Benson advised the School Board at last week’s meeting on May 7 on various needs for the division for which they might spend some anticipated surplus funds prior to June 30. Benson was reluctant to provide an estimate of the unbudgeted funds, saying he wanted to first confer with Robyn Shugart, county finance director, prior to naming a figure. The figure has previously been estimated at about $300,000 due in part to more state revenue from higher enrollments during the current school year. His spending list included possible purchases for a dishwasher at Potomac Elementary and a replacement dishwasher at the middle school. Cafeteria dishwashers have previously been priced by the division at about $42,000 each. Other items listed for possible purchase included spectator seating at the middle school for track and the ball fields, concrete walkway replacement at old King George Elementary School for the pre-school, and additional storage cabinets for the newly renovated wings at Potomac, along with driveway surfacing at that school. His list also included desks and cafeteria table replacement at various schools, along with carpet
replacement in various areas at the School Board office. He also listed replacement of two maintenance vehicles, previously estimated at $55,000, and access control systems for King George Elementary and Sealston. The security equipment has previously been estimated at about $125,000. Benson also said the costs of two studies should also be included, for which requests for proposals are being written. Those would help the School Board make decisions regarding some facilities they may want to renovate, including whether to add on to the current middle school or renovate and add on to the former middle school. The purpose of either addition would be to create space in one of the two buildings to be able to shift the 6th grades from the county’s three elementary schools. The other study would determine and compare costs for a new track complex at the high school or whether to refurbish the track at the middle school, along with adding restrooms, concessions and improved bleacher seating. School Board members said they needed cost estimates for all items and an estimate of the amount of unspent funds before they could make decisions. 2014-15 BUDGETING Benson is also mulling decisions to finalize categorical figures for
the 2014-15 budget, whose fiscal year begins on July 1. He told the School Board it needed to cut $634,703 as the difference between its proposed budget and its actual budget allocation for next year. The School Board had requested an operating budget of $37,890,464. The county approved a School Board budget of $37,255,761, which provides a 5-percent increase over the current year’s approved budget. The county is providing its employees 1-percent average raises under the pay-for-performance policy, beginning at mid-year, on Jan. 1, 2015. The county has requested that the School Board likewise grant 1-percent raises at mid-year, estimated to cost $106,000. Benson noted the county’s plan for raises, but said he thought the division could provide 1-percent increases for the full year. To do that, he proposed reducing funding for textbooks by $87,715, reducing paper expenditures by $15,000, reducing Special Education contracted services by $14,802 and by eliminating the proposed 2-percent salary step increases for employees at a savings of $517,186. But School Board members asked to see the cost for full-year 2-percent raises for all employees, prior to finalizing the budget categories.
The King George Board of Supervisors approved an amended rezoning request in Dahlgren at last week’s meeting on May 6 on a split vote, 3-2, with Ruby Brabo and Cedell Brooks voting against the project. Chairman Joe Grzeika, Dale Sisson and Jim Howard voted in favor of the request. The request from JPI Walnut Hill LLC by Jay Jarrell was approved with amendments to the proffers and to the general development plan that resulted in no property being rezoned immediately adjacent to the Bayberry subdivision. Eight speakers addressed the rezoning issue during the meeting’s public comment, with seven of those repeating their opposition to the project, as in the past. In addition, Supervisor Ruby Brabo read a letter purporting to be from a
Bayberry resident about a third- or fourth-hand conversation alleged to have taken place six months ago containing anonymous claims against other board members. There was also lively discussion by members of the Board of Supervisors when the case came up on the agenda. (For details on the letter and board comments, see related article.) The applicant had revised the proffers at least four times since its December hearing by the Planning Commission in attempts to accommodate the concerns of members of the Commission and those of the Board of Supervisors and Bayberry subdivision residents to eliminate noisy, and/or brightlylit uses, as well as to increase the size of a land buffer between the property and subdivision lots. The approved action reduced the intensity of the original request, and mitigated the potential or perceived impacts through a reduction in the area for development. The approved amendments resulted in fewer acres being rezoned than originally requested, and they See rezoning, page 2
Lively board discussion takes place prior to votes During public comment time at last week’s Board of Supervisor’s meeting, Supervisor Ruby Brabo read a letter purportedly from Bayberry resident Monica Hartnett containing anonymous claims against “at least one member” of the Board of Supervisors. The charges included campaign financing with implied vote-buying. It related a “brief ” conversation alleged to have taken place “about six months ago” between Hartnett and an anonymous neighbor who was a “builder contractor.” The third- or fourth-hand conversation related by Brabo from the letter said a developer had told the neighbor that he could “play a part in the construction of a saloon just outside the entrance to our subdivision,” showing Hartnett photos of a similar motorcyclethemed bar with bowling alley proposed for the site. Brabo went on, reading, “The developer told my neighbor that he finally felt he had the votes on the Board of Supervisors to rezone the parcel of land to commercial. He said it had gone before the board once in the past, unsuccessfully. So disappointed was he in that vote that he financed the campaign of at least one member during an election at some point after that. This time, he said he was ready to purchase the land once the rezoning
to commercial, pretty much a sure thing, took place.” Following Brabo’s letter-reading, rezoning applicant, Jay Jarrell, spoke at public comment, denying all allegations made by Brabo’s letterreading. Jarrell stated, “I don’t know who the woman talked to, so I can’t comment about what that gentleman thinks or says is going to happen. I can tell you that neither I nor any member of my firm, nor any member of my partner’s firm, have ever made a political contribution to any member of this board.” Jarrell added, “I have not talked to anyone about building anything on this property. We have approached a car dealer for a well-known area car dealership that was looking for property in King George. They went somewhere else. We have not talked to anyone else. I have never talked to anyone about a saloon in this location, or any other location, for that matter. So at this point, the property, if it were to be rezoned, will be put on the market for sale. I highly doubt a saloon would be put in that location, from just what I know See Letter, page 2

Rezoning: Changed to C-1 From page 1 were rezoned to the less intensive commercial zoning classification of Retail Commercial (C-1). Instead of 6.75-acres to General Trade (C-2), Supervisors rezoned 5.8143 acres to (C-1) with revised proffers and a revised general development plan. PROFFER AMENDMENTS It is significant to understand that all approved proffers run with the land, no matter who becomes the owner in the future. The approved proffers are those dated April 22, 2014, with the applicant having subsequently withdrawn its previous proffer and development plan amendments that included a restricted area and proffered out some C-2 uses. The applicant had instead agreed to reduce the amount of land to be rezoned by deleting a section of the property from the rezoning request that leaves a strip of land adjacent to the Bayberry subdivision lots that measures 153-feet wide in the current A-2 zoning designation. That land is expected to remain undisturbed. DETAILS OF REZONING JPI Walnut Hill LLC represented by Jay Jarrell received approval to rezone 5.8143 acres from Rural Agricultural (A-2) to Retail Commercial (C-1), with proffers, on a small portion of a larger 128.95-acre parcel, identified as Tax Map 9, Parcel 34. The property is on the west side of US 301 about .2 miles south of the intersection with Danube Drive (Route 1101). It will be served by public utilities to be provided by the King George County Service Authority. It is
located in the Dahlgren Primary Settlement Area in the county’s Comprehensive Plan. The 5.8143-acre parcel is part of a larger parcel to its north with A-2 zoning. That 128.95-acre parcel is currently in open land and woodlands, and is the subject of a cluster subdivision application under review by the Department of Community Development as a byright use under the existing zoning. The applicant’s proposed cluster subdivision is planned to be retained as a large common area behind the 5.8143-acre parcel that would be undeveloped in perpetuity as a large wooded buffer adjacent to all abutting Bayberry subdivision lots. The small parcel requested for rezoning no longer abuts two residential properties in the Bayberry subdivision. The rezoned acreage will be consolidated with a smaller triangularly-shaped parcel 37A, which contains 1.91 acres adjacent to it that is commercially-zoned and fronts on US 301. A boundary line adjustment is to be made to result in a rectangular parcel with an additional ‘panhandle’ attached and forming part of the frontage on US 301. That panhandle shape is not adjacent to any Bayberry subdivision lots, but instead is adjacent to existing commerciallyzoned property with that use. A detailed traffic impact analysis was submitted by the applicant, which was reviewed and commented on by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT). As a result, the applicant’s approved proffers include VDOTrecommended safety improvements to a number of median cross-overs and existing entrances.

about the commercial market. And I can promise you that as of this time, I’ve never talked to anyone about it, nor has anyone, with the firm, or involved in this company.” None of the members of the Board commented on the anonymous statements read by Brabo.
BROOKS Supervisor Cedell Brooks was the only board member not taking part in the discussion, only reiterating that he was against the rezoning request. Brooks had stated at the March 18 meeting, following a lengthy public hearing on the case, “I think the people of the community in Dahlgren have spoken, and I think we need to be the voice of the people.”
GRZEIKA Chairman Joe Grzeika responded, saying, “As far as the financial issues, I think you have a point. The problem is the point works the other way.” He added, “As we look at zoning, we’re not in the business of determining if somebody is going to make a profit or not. That’s not our job. Our job is looking at the development plan. This is a development area along a major four-lane highway and does it make sense to put commercial use there. That’s the decision that we’re looking at.” Grzeika noted that the case has been under review for several months, adding, “You have a developer who has listened and made changes to try and accommodate what we’ve heard. Your idea of compromise is deny it - and that’s compromise. Mine is, can we get to a point where it makes sense overall. Because commercial use is the highest and best use along this 301 corridor. And that’s one of the things we look that generates more tax revenue for this county. That’s where the highest and best use comes from.”
BRABO Brabo stated the same position she has held all along, saying, “I’m still not in favor of the rezoning.” She reiterated what had been stated by Jarrell, that he planned to sell the property requested for rezoning. She added, “To simply help him make a

SISSON After Brabo made remarks that he met with the developer, Supervisor Dale Sisson corrected her, saying, “My discussion was with Jack. I didn’t have any interaction with the developer. It was all working with Jack, as the board asked me to do.” Sisson, a King George native, summed up his decision points. He stated, “As long as I can remember, Bayberry has been bracketed by commercially-zoned land. Zoning is a relatively new thing, but Mr. McDaniel ran that Texaco there back as far as I can remember and the car wash. And the office park that includes a number of contractors there on the opposite corner has also been there for many years.” Sisson said he thinks the agricultural zoning in the middle of the commercial uses is unusual at this location, saying, “This is an oddity, this gap in commercial development. Our Comprehensive Plan calls for commercial development along the 301 corridor from that intersection back through 206 & 301. I’m an author and an adopter of it. I know it calls for that. So this really has been an oddity.” Sisson explained, saying, “When we adopt the Comprehensive Plan it doesn’t automatically rezone any land in that plan. But what it does is it tells the development community, the non-development community, those who want to buy a farm, whatever – here’s where the governing body

This pair of candelabra was an estate sale purchase many years ago. One of them was broken with the stem having come apart. The owner has had it repaired professionally, and the repair is hardly noticeable. At present he is thinking of having the pair re-plated, and asks if it is correct to reHenry Lane silver. He has Hull been unable to find any hallmark on either piece. We have here a fine pair of English Sheffield candelabra, dating from the mid-nineteenth century. From the photograph the repair is not apparent, and the overall design of the stems and arms is excellent. Sheffield is a form of silver plate applied to a copper base. If polished the silver would shine, but the copper base areas that have worn through would as well. Silver-plating would make a nice finish, but it would be eliminating all vestiges of the original silver finish. In a case such as this one, I recommend going with what will satisfy the owner in displaying the pieces at home. If the finish is annoying in its current condition, then proceed to re-silver. If that is the course chosen, remember that the new finish ultimately also will tarnish and be subject to rubbing off with regular polishing. From a cost perspective, re-plating will be expensive, and will not add as much to the value as what the cost of the work will be. Personally, I would polish, and enjoy the mixed silver

It’s also important to me that we encourage development in the right way. So, if we put out a comprehensive plan and then not follow it from this standpoint –” He added, “I’m okay with folks investing in properties like this, when we say that’s what we want it to be.” MOTION FOR MORE REVIEW FAILS Brabo disagreed with taking action on the amended rezoning request and made a motion to send the rezoning application back to the Planning Commission for additional review. She said, “It makes a difference if you know what is going to be built in your back yard. That list is long. I believe a rezoning should not be done, unless we know the kind of development is going to be put in place.” Grzeika disagreed, saying, “Zoning by its very nature says we identify a set of uses that is allowed in the zone. And that’s what we’re doing. It’s no different. To say, ‘we’re not going to ever zone before we know a specific use does make no sense.’ Why would you have zoning? A zone identifies the uses by definition.” That motion failed 2-3.

MOU: Possible new business in industrial park From page 1 HGAC’s costs for the rail line improvements. The approved MOU includes the county’s intent to sell HGAC up to 32 acres of property adjacent to the industrial park at a price of $43,000 per acre. The county has also agreed to approve a rezoning of the property to industrial use along with a special exception permit. If the deal
goes through, the property would be incorporated into the county’s industrial park. Beginning in 2007, the county has several times renewed an option agreement to purchase 343 acres in the Sealston area of the county for about $10 million. The property is comprised of four large parcels owned by Plentiful Farm Family Limited Partnership and Mount View Family Limited Partnership located on the north side of Route 3

Popular King George yoga instructor killed in fall in Hawaii richard leggitt Deborah Pascus, a popular King George yoga instructor with a sense of adventure, died tragically in Hawaii this month. Funeral services for the 57-year-old, who was remembered for her ready smile and her frequent words of encouragement for her students, were held Friday in Fredericksburg. Pascus was in the Hawaii islands on vacation when she rented a kayak for an unescorted trip up the Wailua River on May 1. The Wailua runs through Wailua River State Park on Kauai Island and is a popular destination for kayakers because they can paddle to Secret Falls, a beautiful 100-foot waterfall. As they near the falls, Hawaiian officials said, visitors have to leave their boats and hike up a wet slippery path to the falls, which is what authorities believe Pascus did. When she did not return to the kayak rental company by the end of the day, employees went to look for her but could only find her kayak and its paddle. On May 2, police, firefighters and staff from the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources searched the area for the missing King George woman. Just before noon, they found her body floating in a stream near the falls. Law enforcement sources said an autopsy showed Pascus died from injuries “consistent with a fall.� Foul play is not suspected in the death, authorities said. Tracy Citeroni was one of Pascus former yoga students who was deeply saddened by her death. “Debbie was my yoga teacher for six years when I lived in Fredericksburg. I practiced with her through cancer treatment, a Combined Boat Virginia and Boat Maryland course June 14 A combined Boat Virginia and Boat Maryland course is being held on Saturday, June 14, in Colonial Beach, Va. The USCG Auxiliary will be teaching this class at the Colonial Beach Town Center, which is next to the library, at 22 Washington Ave. from 8:45 a.m. to about 5 p.m. There is no cost to the student. Maryland requires any person born on or after July 1, 1972 to have a certificate of boating safety education. Virginia, on the other hand, has been phasing in their requirement. While currently anyone who operates a PWC and anyone aged 40 and younger operating a motorboat in Virginia are required to have taken a NASBLA-approved safe boating course, beginning this coming July 1st, the regulation will expand to cover those aged 40 through 45 years old. Successful completion of this course will provide you with the certificate needed to meet both the Maryland and the Virginia regulations. Register for the class at the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) web site: http://www.dgif.virginia. gov/boating.
divorce, and my mother dying. She was a calm, loving presence during the most difficult times of my life,� Citeroni said. “Her radiant smile and soulful laugh eased my pain. Her wise and gentle guidance made yoga a healing regimen in every sense. When I cried in class one time, she cried with me. She taught me about the way we hold trauma and stress in different parts of our body and how to use yoga to work through it and release that hurt,� said Citeroni. Another former yoga student, Linda LaFave said, “I am devastated by her death. She was a spectacular person.� “Debbie embraced our humanity with all its flaws and smiled fondly at it. She treasured life—there were many times I saw her gently carry a wasp from the yoga room to an open window. My husband and I took yoga together from her. She made yoga welcoming and comfortable, and quickly became as much a friend as a teacher,� said LaFave. “An hour after I got word that she had died, I went to yoga,� said Citeroni. “I dedicated my practice to Debbie, and I used what she taught me to begin to work through the deep, embodied grief of her death. Those of us who knew and loved Debbie will continue to carry the tremendous light of her soul, but that legacy of joy will always be tempered by sorrow at her earthly absence.� Pascus is survived by her husband of 31 years, Ben Pascus; her mother Vera Shelton and stepfather Luby F. Bell; her brother Scott Shelton, his wife, Vicki, and a nephew, Spencer. Her family has requested donations in her honor be made to Fredericksburg SPCA.

OUTDOORS
www.journalpress.com
KG Outdoor Club members wet a line for the evening Mark Fike School is drawing to a close, and the temperature is heating up. The King George Outdoor Club has had a pretty good year thus far. Over the course of the fall, winter and spring, the group of young people has held a few seminars to include turkey call making, ghilli suit creation, casting practice, electroshocking survey and fisheries biology, deer processing and meat cutting, sausage and jerky making. Some members went hunting, some helped at the Disabled Veteran’s hunt, and most recently, several of the members went fishing. They even held a wild game supper one night. Last Friday night, approximately a half dozen members, plus their families and friends, were invited to a private pond by club leader, Senior CPO Frank Spuchesi. Outdoor club leaders Mike Woods, Matt Limbrick and Mark Fike also attended to assist the young people as needed. The pond held some promise for bass, crappie and sunfish action. Nearly five dozen minnows and a few dozen night crawlers, plus some artificial baits were used to entice some gorgeous crappie and bass to the hook. Some
of the younger family members of club members were also able to catch some nice fish. Despite the warm temperatures, the mosquitos were not bad at all. The young anglers were able to observe a blue heron on a nest, some very close up views of beavers that swam nearby, a huge snapping turtle, painted turtles, ducks, and of course, some good fishing. As the kids fished, the adults supervised while getting to know each other. After the fishing was wrapped up for the evening, Fike took a moment to show the kids how to filet the fish for the frying pan. Our thanks goes to Senior CPO Spuchesi for arranging the use of the private pond for the club members and their families to fish. Thanks also goes to the club leaders, Mike Woods and Matt Limbrick, for helping out and to the parents for taking the time to bring the kids over to fish. We hope those who participated enjoyed their time on the water. Free Fishing Days —June 6-8 If you are interested in trying fishing, you are in luck. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) has announced that June 6, 7, and 8 have been designated
as Free Fishing Days in Virginia. No fishing license of any kind will be required for rod and reel fishing in either freshwater or saltwater, except in designated trout-stocked waters, on these days. Access Permits will also be waived on Free Fishing Days for anyone fishing or with someone who’s fishing. Plan some time to go fishing and boating; take the family fishing and boating, or learn to fish and boat! We have some excellent fishing in our area. Both of our local rivers are teaming with great catfish angling. We have good bass fishing and plenty of panfish opportunities in the area. Local ponds, both private and public (Chandlers Mill Pond), are good for bass and panfish. Don’t forget the Kids’ Fishing Day at Motts Run Reservoir on June 7. There is usually a great turnout with a slew of prizes and giveaways, plus the fish, of course! Right, clockwise: Elijah and his father with a bass; Mike caught a nice bass by being patient; Logan pulls in a crappie; Abraham pulled in a nice crappie from the pond, not bad for a 3 year old angler!; and Meanwhile Rex hauled in a really pretty crappie which he took home to eat.
RCC goes to VIMS for hands-on course
Outdoor Report Fishing continues to be quite good, particularly in ponds.
Fishing Rappahannock River — Donna at Ken’s Tackle reported that people were still catching some shad, but the run is fading fast. Some white perch were caught earlier in the week, and plenty of bass and catfish were hitting minnows. Small striper are in the river now, but must be tossed back. Potomac River — Aqua Land in Southern Maryland reports that anglers are catching lots of catfish in the river and some white perch. No croaker are being reported yet. Some striped bass were caught but are farther downriver. Ponds — Crappie and bass are still

Preserve, which protects a rare highaltitude wetland habitat. “Coastal science is a very important field of study,” notes Upton, “as much of the world’s population resides along the coasts, and the coastal environment is very important to the world’s economy and industry.” She adds, “This course will be very ‘hands-on,’ interactive—and fun!” The class begins on Tuesday, June 24, and field testing will occur July 14-17 and July 21-24. To ensure
that travel difficulties do not keep anyone interested in the program from participating, RCC will provide transportation from the Warsaw and Glenns Campuses to the VIMS facility. The VIMS Office of Academic Studies has generously agreed to cover costs related to the use of the Tidewater for this Summer 2014 pilot course.

spawning in some ponds; minnows are key for them. Ken’s Field and Stream in Oak Grove reported good bass angling, including a citation bass they checked in. Motts Run Reservoir — reported good largemouth bass fishing around the reservoir. Some great crappie action is being had in the structure, as well. A citation bass was checked in last week, too. Minnows and plastic worms were the best baits. Saltwater — Puppy drum action is very good in the lower Bay. Some croaker are being caught, and nice striped bass are being trolled up, as well. Captain Ryan Rogers of the Midnight Sun (804-580-0245) reported good rockfish action last week. Some fish up to 40 in. were caught, and some pretty fish were hauled in. However, the heat will likely drive the larger ones out.

“This class offers students the opportunity to get out of theoretical work and into the field,” says Rappahannock Community College biology instructor Lisa Tuckey. She and fellow-instructor Sally Upton will be teaching “Coastal Ecology” this summer, in the form of three weeks of online academic work and two weeks of intensive field work at the College of William and Mary’s Virginia Institute for Marine Sciences (VIMS) facility at Gloucester Point. Two days of that time will be spent on the water, in the VIMS research vessel Tidewater. “ ‘Coastal Ecology’,” says Tuckey, “is a field-based biology course which explores beach, salt marsh, and estuarine ecosystems by observing and sampling local coastal plants and animals while analyzing the dynamics of coastal community structure and function.” The course will cover the effects of chemical, geological, and physical factors upon the distribution of organisms, and will include discussion of the effects of pollution and human manipulation of the coastline. Students will observe and identify coastal plants and animals, and will evaluate the dynamics of coastal community structure and function. During the field portion of the class, students will learn the skills necessary to perform proper field testing. They will analyze water quality along different coastal habitats to determine its salinity, its temperature, and the organic materials it contains, bringing their samples back to the VIMS lab for analysis. These tests will yield data indicating the health of the eco-system, and will help define the least harmful ways to harvest the resources of the Chesapeake Bay. Tuckey holds the degrees of bachelor of science in biology and German language and literature from the University of Binghamton (New York) and master of science in marine biology from the University of Charleston. She joined RCC in August 2010, teaching general biology, and anatomy and physiology; previously she had taught the same subjects at Thomas Nelson Community College and Gulf Coast Community College (Florida). However, the majority of her work has been in field research, mostly on fresh- and saltwater environmental issues. She has also written or contributed to articles in the Journal of Applied Aquaculture and the Journal of the World Aquaculture Society. Sally Upton holds the degrees of bachelor of science in biology from the College of Idaho, and master of science in marine science (with emphasis in fisheries science)

Dylan Dombrowskas excels at PHCC Leonard Banks Sports editor
Kenny Webster
Dylan Dombrowskas continues to raise the bar on the collegiate baseball. Most recently, the PHCC first baseman was voted to the Region X Second Team as a designated hitter.
In every aspect of the game of baseball, Patrick Henry Community College (PHCC) sophomore Dylan Dombrowskas has taken his game to the next level. Recently named to the Region X Second Team as a designated hitter, the King George alumni and baseball standout who normally plays at first base, broke the school record for number of doubles (24). He finished the season with a batting average of .365 (2nd highest on the team). He has proven to be an iron-man, after playing in 49 games, including 195 plate appearances. His performance statistics include: 167 at bats, 61 hits, 24 doubles, one triple, 41 RBIs, 17 walks, two stolen bases, while striking out only 13 times. Currently, he is ranked second nationally
in the number of doubles. Most recently, PHCC finished the regular season with a record of 3614 (overall), and 20-8, (conference). PHCC is currently ranked 11th in the poll on NJCAA. He is currently under the watchful recruiting scope of several fouryear colleges, including University of Mary Washingont, Guilford College, and Bridgewater. During the Region X Tournament, PHCC lost its first game to Lenoir Community College 10-2, but rebounded to win the next two games against Wake Technical Community College, and Surry Community College, 11-2, and 15-1. However, in the semi-finals, PHCC narrowly lost to Catawba Valley Community College, 8-5. During the tournament, Dombrowkas produced six hits, during 16 at bats.
King George JV softball machine continues to roll over area teams Leonard Banks Sports editor At the start of the season, King George Middle School educator and King George High School alumni Katie Newton had no idea that she would inherit the leadership role of head coach of the Foxes junior varsity softball team. However, Newton and her team have withstood the challenges of a tough Conference 22 4A North division. Currently, the Foxes are undefeated at 8-0. King George is tied for first place with Fauquier, which also has an identical undefeated record. The Foxes pummeled Courtland 20-0 on Wednesday, and on the following day, routed Caroline 14-0. Newton Todd Knop as the Foxes junior varsity head coach. In order to win the regular season, and compete for the upcoming junior varsity championship, the Foxes have to remain focused and finish strong. Not only do they have to defeat Fauquier on May 19, but they will have their hands full against Eastern View during their second meeting of the season, on Wednesday, at home. The upcoming Fauquier game will serve as the Foxes’ annual Play for the Cure game, as a statement for breast cancer awareness. It will feature the Foxes wearing black jerseys with pink lettering. Proceeds from the game will be donated to the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation. In spite of her unblemished record, Newton is cautiously optimistic about the upcoming games that await her team. “The girls know that we have big games coming up, but once we get Eastern View out of the way, they will breathe a little easier,” Newton said. “We’re taking it one game at a time, knowing that our biggest competition is just around the corner.” Interestingly, the Foxes have surpassed all expectations with a team of only 10 players. In spite of their apparently shallow depth pool, the Foxes have a veteran team of players that continue to play travel and little league softball, while playing high school softball. On the mound, the Foxes are led by freshman, Anna Wolford. Along with her duties as the starting pitcher, Wolford also plays third base. Batting cleanup for the Foxes is catcher, MacKenzie Miniuk. Known for her aggressive batting, Miniuk is also capable of calling a game without the assistance of her coaches. “She is very smart about the game, and one of those players that is able to self-teach and correct her errors,” Newton said. Collectively, the Foxes do not have a weak link. Throughout every game of the season, they have performed

KGHS Foxes softball dismantles Courtland Cougars Leonard Banks Sports editor Ashleigh Nalls is having a stellar softball season. Most recently the King George High School freshman led her to team to a 12-2 win over Courtland. Nalls crushed Cougar pitching (Vicki Varner) with a 3-4 day at the plate, including four RBIs. On the mound, Nalls was relentless, as she limited Cougar batters with two hits, one credited run, one walk and six strikeouts. The Foxes defeated the Cougars 12-2 in five innings. The victory marked a clean sweep against the Cougars for the season. Throughout the season, the powerful right-hander has struckout 60 batters, allowed 16 walks, with an ERA of 1.077 in 65 innings. The heir apparent to legendary Fox pitcher, and UVA-Wise standout Taylor Brandts is well on her way to establishing a new era in Fox pitching.

The Foxes varsity softball team continue to get better as they approach post season.
Cougars vs. Foxes An early 5-0 lead in the top of the first inning gave the visiting Foxes the boost they needed against the Cougars last Wednesday. King George scored its first run on a
batter advancing to home plate after Courtland pitcher, Vicki Varner was credited with hitting the batter at the plate. With two outs, Taylor Hughes singled in two Fox runs for a 3-0 lead. Kaylee Wright followed with an RBI double that produced two additional runs for a 5-0 lead. In the top of the second inning, with two outs, and runner on third, Nalls added a run with an RBI single into centerfield. Feeding the Cougars a steady diet of fastballs, Nalls retired nine batters in a row. Courtland did not produce a hit until the bottom of the fourth inning. As for the Foxes offense, the runs continued to come. In the top of the fourth, the Foxes scored their ninth run on a Cougar throwing error. Although the Cougars managed to temporarily avoid the mercy rule with two runs scored in the bottom of the fourth due to throwing errors, the Foxes closed the door in the fifth inning. In the top of the fifth inning, after the Cougar centerfielder dropped a Monica Brandts fly ball, King George would score two runs for a 11-2 lead. With two outs, Nalls slammed a double into right field, scoring
“We are committed to improving every day; we know we cannot rest at this level and continue to win. My coaching staff works hard every day to teach and reinforce so that the girls are being given everything we can give them but they know that confidence and desire to win have to accompany the skills.” —Renee Parker Brandts for the Foxes’ final run. As a team, the Foxes offense has risen to the occasion. Eight players out of 11 have an on-base-percentage of .300 plus, and four out of the eight have an OBP of over .400. In addition, two of the four players have an OBP of over .500. Collectively, the Foxes have improved to a record of 5-1, 102, and a game behind Fauquier for the conference lead. With the season winding down, and the May 19 showdown with conference rival Fauquier approaching, Foxes head coach Renee Parker is committed to the challenges ahead. “We are committed
King George Foxes varsity baseball splits wins Leonard Banks Sports editor On Wednesday, at Courtland High School, Jordi Estes had the high school baseball game of his life. The Fairmont State University commit single-handedly decimated the Cougar offense by hitting for the cycle. His evening at the plate produced a single, double, single, grand slam homerun, and five RBIs. The offensive explosion fueled the Foxes 10th win of the season. However life in Conference 22 4A North is by no means a walk in the park. Three days later, at the hostile confines of Caroline Stadium, on Military Appreciation Day, the Cavaliers rose to the occasion to defeat the top seated Foxes, 7-4. The Foxes (5-2, 10-3) are currently tied for first place with Eastern View (5-2, 10-5). On Friday, during a non-conference game, the Cyclones defeated Culpeper 5-2.
Varsity game On the mound it was the tale of two wars at Caroline Stadium. As Fox senior Hunter Tolliver struggled to control Cavalier hitting, Cavalier junior Alex Desjarlais pitched four innings of shut-out baseball before allowing a run in the top of the fifth. Desjarlais was credited with the win, as he finished the game with six strikeouts, allowing four runs, five hits, and four walks. Justin Pitts was 2-4 at the plate, while posting three RBIs for the Cavaliers. As for the Foxes, Corey Henderson produced two hits, a run and two RBIs. Caroline jumped off to a 3-0 start in the bottom of first inning. Pitts got the ball rolling with an RBI single over the first base side. Later with two outs, Ryan Hickman extended the Cavalier lead to 2-0 with an RBI single into right field. The Cavaliers finished the inning with an RBI single from Alex Desjarlais. In the bottom of the second inning,

the Cavaliers scored two additional runs. With the bases loaded, Cole Grinde hustled to squeeze an infield hit into an RBI for Cavalier runner number four. After Hickman was hit by a pitch during a bases-loaded situation, the advancing runner scored the Cavaliers’ fifth run. The Cavaliers picked up their final runs in the bottom of the third inning. With two outs, two runs crossed the plate after Pitts pounded a double into the center field wall. The Foxes bravely attempted to cut into the Cavalier lead with a Daniel Frederickson RBI hit that scored Henderson in the top of the fifth. In the top of the sixth, the Foxes rallied to score three runs from the bats of Henderson (two RBIs), and a sacrifice RBI fly from Drew Berry. On Wednesday, the Foxes will again have their hands full, as the battle to stay atop the conference will commence on the grounds of Eastern View.
Sports editor They came to play! The Foxes junior varsity baseball team could conceivably end up competing in their fifth junior varsity championship in the last seven years. After narrowly disposing of Caroline 2-1 on Friday, they have proven their mental and physical toughness. Foxes head coach, Nicholas Simmons understands the dynamics involved with preparing his team for its date with destiny. “Playing Caroline is always a challenge,” Simmons said. “Seems like every time we play, we have a low scoring, well played baseball game.” From start to finish, it was a pitcher’s duel. Foxes Chris LeVere gave up one run, no walks, struck out five, while stretching out five hits over a course of seven innings. LeVere is 6-0 for the season (not including the recent home games featuring Liberty). As for the Cavalier pitcher, Stephen Miller, he gave up two runs, four hits, zero walks, while recording eight strikeouts. Fans at Caroline Stadium witnessed junior varsity baseball played at its highest level. “Both starting pitchers had great games, but we were able to take advantage of a few mistakes early in the game that resulted in scoring two runs.” Game In the top of the third inning, Fox first baseman Jason Yowler got the ball started with a towering leadoff UMES photos

As for the games ahead, the Foxes are fully aware of the challenges that await them. “The girls are really looking forward to playing competitive teams,” Newton said. “There is something inspiring about games that go back and forth, and when you leave, win or lose, you know you’ve competed at your highest level.”

With the exception of an RBI infield hit by Dustin Gallagher in the bottom of the seventh inning, it was lights out for the Cavaliers, and another step towards a potential regular season championship for the Foxes. On Monday, the Foxes defeated Liberty-Bealeton, to improve to a record of 11-2. On Wednesday, at 6 p.m., the Foxes will host Eastern View.

KGYAA fall football & cheerleading registration Staff Reports Though still in the midst of its ongoing spring flag football campaign, the King George Youth Athletic Association (KGYAA) is set to begin accepting registration for its upcoming fall football and cheerleading programs. More specifically, the KGYAA will begin accepting fall registrations this weekend (Sunday, May 18, 4-8 p.m. at the King George High School football stadium) for tackle football, cheerleading, and flag football programs. For tackle football, the KGYAA will not only be offering its standard Rookie (ages 6-8) and Junior (ages 9-11) divisions, but it will also offer once again its Varsity Mavericks (ages 12-13) travel football program. Both local divisions play within the county and enjoy a full regular season schedule, playoffs, and an op-
portunity to play in the traditional Frost Bowl championships at season’s end. The Varsity Mavericks, officially part of the Rappahannock River Youth Football League (RRYFL), is the KGYAA’s competitive travel football team that competes against its regional (and historical) rivals Caroline, Colonial Beach, Fredericksburg, Essex, Northumberland, Richmond Co., and Westmoreland. In addition to stiff regional competition, the Mavericks enjoy a full regular season schedule, an opportunity for post-season play (provided the team finishes in the top four), and also an opportunity to play in the league’s annual Super Bowl. Provided schedules allow, the Mavericks will also have the chance to play an invitational contest as part of the KGYAA’s yearly Frost Bowl. For cheerleading, the KGYAA in-
tends to organize squads to represent the Rookie and Junior divisions, as well a travel cheer squad to complement the Varsity Mavericks. In addition to its tackle football and cheerleading programs, the KGYAA also intends to once again offer its exciting Pee Wee flag football program (for ages 4-5). It also will accept registrations for a prospective “Senior” fall flag football division (for ages 14-17). The KGYAA reports that all fall football and cheerleading registrations received this Sunday will receive an “early registration” discount. This discount will also apply to all registrations received on June 1, 1-4 p.m. at the King George High School stadium. For more information on the KGYAA and its fall football and cheerleading programs, visit their official “Registration” page at www.kgyaa. org.

Stunned parents urge cyber, cell safety Stunned parents left Delegate Margaret Ransoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May 10th â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Aware Be Safeâ&#x20AC;? event at the King George YMCA rapidly texting every parent in their contact list to confiscate their childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cell phone while vowing to shut down favorite social media sites. Even the most cyber sophisticated parent was left feeling slightly ill after Robbie Holland of the Cyber Crimes Unit at the Virginia State Police completed the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Internet Crimes Against Children.â&#x20AC;? Using actual case after case, Holland demonstrated the ease with which your child can ruin his or her
life not to mention your familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial safety by simply clicking into â&#x20AC;&#x153;innocentâ&#x20AC;? popular apps, and using social media including Facebook. Most shocking was to hear of the many distraught Virginia parents who never thought their child would â&#x20AC;&#x153;do that.â&#x20AC;? The psychology of the predators and how they can lead the most savvy child down the path to doing the â&#x20AC;&#x153;unbelievableâ&#x20AC;? is deeply disturbing. Even if you are practicing cyber safety, the ways you can be accessed by a contactâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sloppy security or posting habits are myriad, and
proliferating daily with no recourse as many perpetrators reside in foreign countries. While Mr. Holland was horrifying the parents, King George deputies along with Sheriff Steve Dempsey taught classes on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cell Phone and Internet Safetyâ&#x20AC;? to 6th, 7th and 8th graders. Officer Holland stated â&#x20AC;&#x153;Proactive parents can learn how to better protect their entire family and learn about app ratings by visiting www.BeWebSmart. com.â&#x20AC;?

Just a reminder
Great Give-a-ways for your customers
SA Medical records available for pickup The operator of the former King George Medical Center has records that patients had requested but not picked up. If you have requested records and not received them or retrieved them, the Community Care Clinic can help. Come by the Clinic at 11131 Journal Parkway in King George and fill out the forms. The Clinic will pick up your records for you.
It is important that you get your records because the order winding down the practice after the bankruptcy of King George Medical Center provides that the records can be destroyed after a year. This affects patients of the offices in Dahlgren and King George as well as patients of practices that were previously part of King George Medical.

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS
Finding out how Uncle Sam spends our money may get easier The word transparency in government is used quite a bit by politicians and various watchdog groups. But, what exactly does it mean? A good example was an experience I had a long time ago working for a Republican Senator from Idaho, Mike Crapo. I wanted to find out about a grant program for research on additional uses for wheat David S. Kerr stalks. Idaho, in addition to its famous potatoes, grows a lot of wheat. I searched and I searched. First I wanted to find out if the Congress had appropriated the money. This required reading through the
appropriations language and there is a lot of it. That took quite a while, but I found the language and then I needed to find out what the Department of Agriculture did with it. This part took forever. The department had a tough time sorting through its own cumbersome records to find out if the grant was ever awarded and then had an even tougher time finding out who actually got the work. The whole process took almost two weeks. Clearly nothing about this grant program, from the Congressional level to the agency, was remotely transparent. That was for someone working in a Senator’s office. If I had been an average citizen I wouldn’t have had a chance. This is an example of a government program that wasn’t transparent. If it had been, if the accounting, starting with the legislative language all the way through to the
cutting of the check, had been transparent and linked together, none of this should have been particularly difficult. However, thanks to lack of a direct link, in terms of the accounting from legislative language to actual budgets, accounting codes that aren’t coordinated, and reports that don’t align with one another, most federal government spending isn’t transparent at all. But there is hope. Our own Senator Mark Warner (D-Va) sponsored a bill called the Data Analysis and Transparency Act. The legislation directs the Treasury to start the process of linking all the pieces of government finance together. From the language in the Congressional bills right on down to what’s called the checkbook level. This information will be accessible not just to government personnel but to the average citizen as well. This means you and I
will be able to track the money trail far easier than we can now. Both of our Virginia Senators voted for it, Mark Warner was its sponsor, and my old boss, Senator Crapo, always supportive of a common sense proposal, whether proposed by a Democrat or Republican, voted “aye” as well. The challenge will be implementing it and making sure the agencies work together so that if you or I want to know how much was spent, on say a federal building, a park, or a weapons system, or how much money was given to a particular contractor, we’ll be able to track that down. It will take some doing, and Congress will have to make sure the agencies follow, not an easy task, but it will make it easier for all of us to keep an eye on our government. —Reach David Kerr at kerr@journalpress.com
Op Eds _______________________________ Recognizing Cyberbullying and tips to prevent it Staff Reporter Before social media became so prevalent, instances of bullying were somewhat easy to recognize. However, with a good majority of children now engaged in digital networking and social media, bullying may not end with the ringing of the school bell, and evidence of bullying may not be so readily apparent. According to Cyberbullying statistics from the i-SAFE foundation, more than half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online, and about the same number have engaged in cyberbullying. More than 80 percent of teens use a mobile phone regularly, making it the most popular form of technology and a common medium for repeated cyberbullying. Cyberbullying takes place through electronic technology and differs from traditional forms of bullying. Cyberbullying can occur via text messaging, blogging, updates
to social media sites and/or phone conversations. What makes cyberbullying more difficult to detect and remedy than traditional bullying is that sometimes this type of bullying is veiled in secrecy. Those who engage in cyberbullying can create aliases and accounts under false names, allowing them to covertly engage in bullying behavior. As a result, tracking down bullies can be challenging. Although cyberbullying is on the rise, there are some things that parents and children can do to help put a stop to such unfortunate instances. * Parents who feel their child is not emotionally ready for the responsibility of a digital device can hold back on purchasing a smartphone or choose one with very limited features. Some schools set strict limits on phone usage at school, and children who go only from school to home and vice versa may not have the need for an “emergency phone” that can open up a window for trou-
ble. * Adolescents and teens should feel comfortable talking with their parents without the fear of reprimand. Otherwise, they may hide instances of cyberbullying or not know how to broach sensitive topics like bullying. Parents can engage in conversation with their children often and stress that the doors of communication are always open. * Teens should be made aware that cyberbullying is a very real occurrence and is not just other kids “having fun” or “joking.” If behavior is repetitive and hurtful, it should be made public and addressed. * Parents can monitor and limit their children’s personal accounts. Some smartphone and tablet applications can be mirrored on the main account, enabling parents to see incoming text or video messages. * A laptop or desktop computer should be placed in a shared space so that usage can be monitored. Parents can restrict tablet or smartphone us-
age to public areas. * When online, children should be advised not to share personal information. Social media sites may be used by bullies to gather sensitive information about a person that can be used against them at a later time. Children should be urged to keep passwords secret and to never give information such as birthdays, phone numbers and addresses to people who aren’t close friends. Friend lists should be restricted to only those people students interact with frequently to minimize the chance for bullying or other inappropriate behavior. * Teens who have been bullied can keep evidence of the bullying and may benefit from talking with a counselor. Cyberbullying is a growing concern for educators and parents and has far-reaching implications. Getting smart about this phenomenon can help staunch new cases of online bullying.
books, food or even housing. Saving for their children’s college education is a priority for many parents, and there are various ways parents can do just that without sacrificing their retirements.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Saving for College Education staff reporter Parents should approach college savings much differently than they do retirement savings. * Prioritize retirement savings over saving for college. Some parents might feel a degree of guilt if they deposit more money into their retirement accounts each month than they do into their kids’ college funds. But such a strategy is nothing to feel guilty about. College students who take out loans have a lifetime ahead of them to repay those loans, while their parents have far less time to grow their retirement savings. No parent wants their child to be saddled with debt after they earn their degree, but that does not mean parents should sacrifice security in their golden years just so their child can have minimal or no debt when they graduate from college. Studies show that the average college graduate still earns roughly a million dollars more over his or her lifetime than someone with just a high school diploma, so a college diploma still offers financial incentives that can soften the blow of repaying college loans. * Look into college savings plans. Simply socking money away in a savings account is no longer enough to finance a college education. That’s because interest rates on standard savings accounts are very low, and as The College Board(R) notes, the college tuition rate of increase is substantially higher than the general inflation rate. In addition, according to The College Board, the average 201314 tuition increase was 3.8 percent at private colleges and 2.9 percent at public universities. Both of those figures are higher than the average increase in personal incomes, meaning parents are earning less while tuition costs are rising. So parents who want to finance all or some of their kids’ college tuitions need to be more creative. College education savings plans are an option, and many, including a Coverdell Education Savings Account and the popular 529 Savings Plan, allow earnings in the account
to grow tax-free. Even withdrawals from college savings plans are typically tax-free so long as those withdrawals are used to finance educational expenses. (Note: Rules vary depending on the type of account.) But college savings plans can also have an impact on a student’s financial aid eligibility, as these investments are often treated as parental assets (retirement account assets are typically not considered parental assets when determining a student’s eligibility for financial aid). So parents should explore all of the ins and outs of the various college savings plans available to them before opening any accounts. * Encourage students to save for their own expenses. Many high school students are not in a position to work a lot or even at all during a school year. And working too much may ultimately affect students’ performance in the classroom. But parents can allow kids to work during summer vacations, and encourage youngsters to save a substantial amount of their earnings from summer jobs. This can teach kids valuable lessons about money management, and money kids save from summer jobs can be used to pay for additional expenses that do not fall under the umbrella of college tuition, including

Ransone, the YMCA and local officials help women to be aware, be safe Richard Leggitt Del. Margaret Ransone, the King George YMCA, Virginia State Police, King George Sheriff ’s Office and the Westmoreland County Sheriff ’s Office hosted a “Women On The Move - Be Aware, Be Safe” event Saturday. The event, which was free and open to the public, drew an enthusiastic crowd of participants. The activities, which had wide support from law enforcement authorities, were geared towards moms, single adult women, students heading to college or the workforce, and middle school children. The schedule offered programs and classes on three topics - Internet crimes against children, cell phone and internet safety, and self-defense. “It was a great opportunity for
moms to bring their children and interact with leaders in public safety. Moms could take a self-defense course or learn about Internet crimes while their children were learning about online safety,” Ransone said. “There are an estimated 7 billion mobile devices connected to the Internet worldwide,” said Virginia State Police Capt. Kirk Marlowe. “Such connectivity flattens our world and creates great challenges and opportunities. We must engage in active learning and work together to protect our digital lives from those who exploit technology to harm others.” King George Sheriff Steve Dempsey, who had officers from his office teaching attendees about Internet and cell phone safety, said he was pleased to participate in the event. “It is important that our children

be aware of the hidden dangers of cell phone and Internet usage,” the sheriff said. Westmoreland County Sheriff ’s deputies taught self defense to women. Elizabeth Clark, Executive Director of the KG YMCA, said, “Empowering women with the tools they need to keep themselves and their families safe has become an issue of importance. The sad reality is that we live in an increasingly violent society in which the fear of crime is ever-present.” “Women must be proactive and be aware of themselves, their surroundings and the potential attacker’s strategies whether from the Internet or out in a parking lot. We are Women on the Move, and we will be safe,” said Clark. In addition to the women’s safety event, Clark

Delegate Margaret Ransone, Westmoreland Sheriff’s Det. Fred Mitchell and Westmoreland Deputy Kim Simon prepared for the Women on the Move self-defense class at the King George YMCA Saturday. said about 80 adults and children participated in a 5K Domestic Violence Awareness Run earlier Saturday morning. “The 5K Domestic Violence Run is not just any 5K,” said Clark. “It’s about supporting victims in King George County who have suffered domestic violence. And, also to make everyone aware of the hotline number for those needing help and support: (540) 373-9373.” Women winners in the 5K were:

Men’s winners were Clay Earlywine of Fredericksburg, with a time of 19:48; Kellen Reeves of Fredericksburg, with a time of 20:11; and Mark Reeves of Fredericksburg, with a time of 21:11. The 5K run, and a one-mile kids’ run, were sponsored by the King George Domestic Violence Taskforce
and businesses including EXIT Realty Expertise, Union First Market Bank, Community Bank of the Chesapeake, NSWC Federal Credit Union, Birchwood Power, Empowerhouse and Virginia Runner. “I am appreciative of the partnerships and leaders within the public safety field that offered their services for Women on the Move,” said Ransone. “Together, we can educate and protect our families and become a safer community.”
