3 KG residents charged in beaten baby case 20-month-old was abused, authorities say Richard Leggitt In April during a family visit, Leslie Nay noticed her little grandson was covered with bruises.

Nay, who lives in King George, reported the child’s injuries to the Department of Social Services, which began an investigation.

Four months later, law enforcement authorities still are unclear about exactly who allegedly inflicted the injuries on 20-month-old Benjamin, but one thing is clear: “These were horrifying injuries, and someone must have been aware of what was happening to this child, said King

George Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Jennifer Pollard.

Three King George residents have been charged in connection with the bruises on the child. Benjamin’s mother, Rebecca Ann Marini, 22; Benjamin’s babysitter, Amanda Lynn Madison, 23; and Madison’s boyfriend, Walter Godsey, 24, were arrested in July.

Marini is facing 15 charges of child endangerment and child cruelty,

Madison is charged with three counts of malicious wounding, child cruelty and child endangerment and Godsey also is charged with malicious wounding, child cruelty and child endangerment.

Marini and Madison were working together and the trio was living together in an apartment nearby when Nay reportedly noticed the child’s bruises and contacted authorities. All three have denied injuring the child

School board mulls track options Phyllis Cook The King George School Board this week discussed three options for what would result in a new or renovated high school track. The existing track is behind the middle school, which formerly was the high school.

The current high school is next door to the middle school.

The majority of the school board appears to still want a new track constructed at the high school site.

The discussion at the Aug. 11 meeting also included talk about what to do with the existing track if a new one is constructed. That was spawned by member TC Collins, who asked what would happen to the existing track if replaced with a new one at the high school site.

Chairman Mike Rose said the county could refurbish it or it could go into disrepair. Collins said he doesn’t agree with letting the old current track go into disrepair and wanted continued discussion on that topic, including refurbishment to make it disability accessible.

Three options were contained in a report by Draper Aden Associates, with option 3 recommended by the consultant.

OPTION 1: $28,000 to $39,500.

Some of the elements of this option already have begun using surplus money from the 2013-14 fiscal year.

That included $28,000 estimated for bleachers and $18,000 estimated for the concrete base by Benson. He reported this week that new concrete pads have been poured and bleachers will be installed soon.

The work is being done because the track will continue to be used until the surface is replaced or a new track is constructed at the high school.

Neither will happen for the coming

school year.

This option also includes fence and gate repairs so the facility can be locked when not in supervised use.

While this option does not include repair to the track surface, it suggests it be cleaned regularly with debris removed, along with grass mowing in the area between the fence and track.

OPTION 2: $355,000 to $420,000.

This option consists of a new stateof-the-art track at the existing site, including a new stone dress track surface said to last 10-14 years. A drainage system also is recommended to avoid ponding, along with new fences, sidewalks, landscaping, and construction of a restroom building.

OPTION 3: $610,000 to $725,000.

This option consists of construction of a new state-of-the-art track facility at the high school property on a football practice field.

The proposed track construction would involve installation of a stone base, an asphalt underlayment and installation of the track surface. The new surface should last about 10-14 years before resurfacing is required.

This option also includes perimeter

fences, sidewalks and site drainage. It would not include restrooms, saying those are present at the football stadium. It also says proximity to the football facility provides use of a ticket booth and fencing/gating, adding that would give it the ability to host large meets.

Both the county supervisors and the school board have been approached at various times in the last year by student track team members about construction of a new track.

A big problem seems to be the area inside the existing track is used for football practices and the synthetic track surface has been damaged by

football cleats, causing an uneven surface with holes where the gravel under-surface appears.

In February, supervisors had also suggested that consideration be given to construction of restroom/ concession facility near the existing track, along with moveable bleachers that could better facilitate use of the track and the adjacent playing fields for meets and contests at the middle school. They noted the county owns construction plans for a concession/ restroom facility built at Sealston Park, which might be duplicated at the middle school site.

Following that February meeting, the school board ended up making a formal request for a new track complex and bleachers at the high school, or alternatively, renovations to the existing track, along with concessions, restrooms and bleacher improvements.

Deputy Patrick Weston and his police dog, Titan took Titan just 16 minutes to track down the alleged fugitive, who was found hiding behind the NAPA auto parts store across the street from the courthouse.

Rhines was taken to the Rappahannock Regional Jail, where

he is being held without bond. In addition to the four Fredericksburg charges, which stem from an alleged April 7 shoplifting incident at the Central Park Walmart, Rhines also has been charged with attempting to escape from officers in King George.

The swift apprehension of a fugitive after he was tracked down

by Titan is becoming routine in King George to the delight of officers and Sheriff Steve Dempsey. In June, Titan tracked down a suspect who was hiding in a closet in an apartment on Harbor Court. The suspect, 52-yearold Kevin Arnold Lewis, was charged with the abduction, rape and robbery of a woman in Dahlgren.

Titan and Weston are one of two K-9 units that help fight crime in King George County. Deputy Gary Craig and his police companion Kilo also track fugitives in the county. In addition to tracking down suspects, the dogs help with narcotics detection, building searches and search-andrescue operations.

“The dogs are extremely important,”

Dempsey said. “King George has had a police dog since 1980. We have a dog on every night shift. Their hearing, their sense of smell and their sense of danger, make them very valuable from a safety standpoint.”

Since Titan came from the Czech Republic and Kilo from The Netherlands, the dogs respond to commands in Czech and Dutch, respectively. Weston and Craig learned to issue the commands after they trained with the animals at the Virginia Police Canine Association in Culpeper.

Dempsey said the officers have learned using a different language for commands is beneficial. “This way, if a suspect we are pursuing tells a dog to ‘stay,’ the dog doesn’t respond.

Both Weston and Craig keep Titan and Kilo with them at their homes as part of the process of building commitment, loyalty and love with the dogs. Weston is single; Craig is married with a young daughter.

“The dog becomes a part of your family,” Weston said.

mother, Marini, saying “she was either the assailant or she made the child available.” Revercomb’s ruling came despite pleas from Nay and Marini’s minister.

However, Revercomb allowed Madison’s release from jail on $10,000 bond noting Madison had no criminal record and is the mother of a 4-yearold child who showed no indications of mistreatment. Godsey remains in jail without bond.

Supervisors send concerns to state panel Phyllis Cook

Sheriff’s office dog a titan among his peers King George’s Titan earning reputation as super sleuth Titan, a street-smart German Shepherd the King George Sheriff ’s Office received from the Czech Republic five years ago, is building a reputation as a super sleuth.

Last week, Titan displayed his talents again by tracking down a fugitive who had fled from the King George Courthouse.

Clifton Rhines, 22, of King George turned himself into Cpl. Gerry Garrettson at the courthouse Aug. 5, saying he was wanted on four felony charges in Fredericksburg. Rhines handed Garrettson his drivers’ license and while Garrettson was confirming Rhines’ wanted status Rhines changed his mind and bolted out the door, police said.

Fifteen officers from the King George Sheriff ’s Office were summoned to the scene to search for Rhines, including Deputy Patrick Weston and his K-9 partner Titan. It

and have entered pleas of not guilty to their respective charges.

A trial date has been set for Nov. 6.

In the meantime, all three defendants have been in the Rappahannock Regional Jail since they were arrested.

However, Madison and Marini appeared in King George Circuit Court last week seeking to be released on bond.

Circuit Court Judge Horace Revercomb III denied bond for the

The King George Board of Supervisors agreed Aug. 5 a resolution be changed so it can be sent to a regulatory advisory panel instead of directly to area state legislators, but with copies also going to the legislators to keep them informed of the county’s intentions.

The primary intent of the board’s proposed resolution is to request existing state law be amended to add the same type of in-depth state regulatory review and prior to any natural gas drilling in the area, as it currently requires for oil drilling.

The revised resolution will be back on the board’s Aug. 19 meeting agenda. The area legislators who will be copied on it are Sens. Ryan McDougle and Richard Stuart and Delegate Margaret Ransone.

Supervisor Chairman Joe Grzeika said he spoke to Ransone about the issue and she advised the board’s proposed resolution first be sent to an advisory group of the Department of Mines, Minerals & Energy, called the DMME Gas and Oil Regulatory Advisory Panel.

“That’s the process in place to address the issue right now with regard to fracking,” Grzeika said. “We should have it go through the process that has already been set up by the governor and the legislature and we wouldn’t be missing that opportunity to not have it in that report and not get it enacted.”

Since January, King George has taken a lead among the localities in the region in fact-finding about fracking, or hydraulic fracturing.

Fracking is the procedure of creating fractures in rocks and rock formations by injecting fluid into cracks to force them further open. The larger fissures allow more oil and gas to flow out of the formation so it can be extracted.

The county is keeping abreast of state regulations and planning to amend the county’s zoning ordinances and comprehensive plan for land use to lessen the potential impacts of fracking, should it actually be permitted by the state in King George.

That’s demonstrated by the fact Eric Gregory, county attorney is one of the nine members on the state’s regulatory advisory panel, along with one citizen representative and the most of rest representing state agencies or organizations.

Grzeika said Ransone relayed her understanding that the advisory panel is expected to extend its meetings through the fall with a final report

“I’d like to see us push the bureaucrats a little bit. I think the recommendations, although it may not be chartered in their mission, would be accepted and have value in their end report.”

King George Supervisor Chairman Joe Grzeika

to likely by the end of the year. The report is supposed to be done prior to the next session of the state’s General Assembly, which begins in January.

Gregory last week said the current mission of the advisory panel is “strictly focused” on a review of the gas and oil regulations.

“We are not tasked currently with making any recommendations for legislation or to amend legislation, but that issue, and particularly this code section has been brought up at one or two meetings,” he said Grzeika stated to his colleagues: “I’d like to see us push the bureaucrats a little bit. I think the recommendations, although it may not be chartered in their mission, would be accepted and have value in their end report.”

Grzeika also said if the panel does not take up the issue, the county still can pursue its focus by asking the three local state legislators to sponsor legislation to amend the section of state law in question. Supervisors Dale Sisson and Ruby Brabo said they both agreed with directing the resolution to go to the panel and Supervisor Jim Howard concurred.

“We need to ensure we are working in lockstep with our delegation if that’s her recommendation,” Sisson said The board wants the existing state law to be amended to provide the same state regulatory review for natural gas drilling in the Tidewater region as it currently requires for oil drilling.

For the applicable law, Tidewater is defined as including King George and the rest of the localities that touch on the Taylorsville Basin, an ancient geologic formation deep in the earth that contains shale believed to contain some oil and natural gas.

OPINION

www.journalpress.com

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

The first day of the 20th century Is it possible to define the beginning and end of a century by something other than the calendar? The immediate answer is no. But, one history professor I remember tried anyway.

His view was that centuries could be defined in terms of eras and events.

There were, according to his view of history, certain sequences of David S. Kerr events that were so closely intertwined that their beginnings and conclusions defined a century.

Clever semantics? Probably, but in discussing the 20th century, I think he nailed it. He said, at least in terms of an event horizon, he believed it began with the start of the First World War in 1914, and ended with the fall of communism in 1991.

This theory of history might not be appealing to some; it might even seem silly, but it caught my interest. Particularly as we remember the start of World War I. For many, the First World War is like a distant bad dream. Most of us don’t understand

how it started; many historians still debate it, and we often view it as an isolated event. Terrible, arguably futile, and with a great loss of life. But we rarely think of it as the starting point for a long series of tragic events that would affect us for decades to follow.

It’s been a hundred years, by the calendar that is, since Great Britain declared war on Germany and the Central Powers. That made it a world war. The conflict began with what many observers, at least at the time, considered a minor incident, and that was the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. But, this expression of Serb nationalism proved anything but minor and was the spark that led to a cascading series of events that in just six weeks embroiled all the major powers of Europe. Many, and this sadly seems to be the refrain before the start of all great wars, thought it would be over by Christmas; it wasn’t. The war wouldn’t end until November 1918. In those four years, 17 million people would die. In Great Britain, one out of every ten men of military age was killed. France recorded 1.3 million dead, Russia 1.7 and Germany nearly 2 million. Civilian losses were just as grievous.

During this short period Russia would lose its Czar, Austria/Hungary its Emperor and Germany its Kaiser. Only the United Kingdom would retain its constitutional monarchy. Most notably, thanks to the pressures of the war, communism had its first victory ever, with the establishment of the Soviet Union over what remained of the Russian Empire.

And though the United States didn’t enter the war until 1917, when we did, mobilizing over 4 million men, it was our first entrance onto the world stage. We had found that we couldn’t completely immunize ourselves from world events. Even though we would try to return to our isolationist ways after the war, the die had been cast; the U.S. was a world power. Nothing would ever be the same again.

The last World War I veteran in the U.S. died in 2010. There are no World War I veterans of any country still living. But, most of us, those of a certain age, knew and remember veterans of the War. Both of my great uncles fought in World War I, and growing up, I knew several veterans of the Great War. It’s sobering that I knew and talked to men who had fought in a war that began a hundred

years ago. If you think that should make me feel old, it does. But it’s a connection to history that I prize dearly.

The First World War, when it ended, might have seemed like a peace, but it wasn’t. The German economy was ruined, and anger in the defeated countries ran deep. It was a perfect breeding ground for extremists.

The Second World War, which some argue was just the continuation of the First, began just a little over 20 years later. In Russia, communism took root, and following World War II, would spread all over Eastern Europe. This was the beginning of the Cold War, which thanks to the fear of nuclear weapons, was nothing like the first two wars. But the military standoff and global power plays would last 45 years. It would define our view of the world and, for some of us, even our professional lives.

But, the contradictions in this evil philosophy eventually became too much. In December 1991, the Soviet Union, with hardly a whimper, went out of existence. It was a long, sad, troubled period, and it all began on one August day one hundred years ago.

the net slicing into their bodies.

Some were vomiting up their guts.

Workers slit the fish’s gill arches and threw them into a bin, where they twitched and gasped, slowly bleeding to death.

It’s too late to help the fish in the video, but we can all make a difference for other fish—simply by leaving them off our plates. To find out more, please visit www.PETA. org.

Sincerely,

Moore, not in support of her views regarding fish, but in support of the poor treatment of this particular fish, and how we decide what is funny or not.

The news stories swirling today about the death of Robin Williams brought back memories of all the great laughs I had watching him over the last 40 years. At the drop of a hat, he could be whatever character he needed to be.

The cast of stars he worked with included some of the greatest comedians ever. Most were character actors, ready to create the person needed to get the laugh, or get the heart crushed. Back in the days, we couldn’t publish “a just happened” funny moment. We had to wait for film development and the “grand showing.” We did have live television shows. And the comedians were the best. They didn’t need to put an animal or person in danger. Slapstick worked then and still works now.

My point: we can’t stop what people post online, but, we don’t have to share something that is “wrong.”

I certainly can’t tell someone what is funny or what is not. I sometimes laugh out loud, and might be the only one around me who is laughing.

The best laugh? When I can laugh about myself.

As Robin Williams tried to show, in the movie “Patch Adams” laughter IS the best medicine.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I read the opinion (July 30) by David Kerr about Affordable Health Care for all.

I also read the unimpressive tired old arguments made by “Doc” Dugan (Aug. 6) to refute David’s statements.

For sure, a first reading of the Tea Party creed sounds like something we should all embrace. However, as folk tell us to “just read” the Constitution, every phrase of the creed is open to interpretation.

Ever get two preachers to agree on the interpretation of certain passages in the Bible?

For example, repeal Obamacare because it is unconstitutional. Since as many legal scholars come down on one side of this question as opposed to the other, I believe it is open for discussion. Just like Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid in the last century. Many fought those needed and effective programs. When I speak of effectiveness of SS and Medicare, I am clearly speaking of my own experience and that of dozens of my older relatives. If Obamacare is declared unconstitutional, then Social Security and Medicare would be the next target - again.

Many, but not all, folk in the Westmoreland County one-percent like “Doc” Dugan and Bob Fountain are not concerned about whether we retired working stiffs lose Medicare, as both are covered by the most comprehensive medical insurance in effect in this country. In other words, they have theirs and we can just wish for coverage. A real class act – those two. As far as SS goes, maybe they would like to advise us of their respective retirement incomes or maybe not.

No matter what face (the worst possible) they try to put on those needing coverage, there is not a more compelling example of why hard working underpaid persons absolutely have to have Obamacare, than that so eloquently stated in the letter

by Lori Deem (Aug. 6).

Many of my acquaintances describe those eligible for Obamacare as “losers”. Losers or not, “those people” are the ones you interact with every day. They work in the grocery stores, fast food outlets, gas stations, restaurants and health care industries just to name a few. Next time you order a pizza, hamburger, prime rib, cheese sandwich or lobster tail, think about the fact that the persons in that income category who are serving you cannot possibly purchase health insurance.

Dear Editor: Enough is enough! Apparently this administration dealing with the border issue is once again in reflex mode as our pen and phone president is sticking it to Congress by ignoring them through bypass exercise of an executive order dressing it up as help to bring people from Honduras here so as to avoid Mexico travel.

Holy Cow! Our nation is like a rocking boat yet Obama’s Washington wants to transform us into sinking titanic for political reasons camouflaged as a humanitarian endeavor.

Such action, regardless how noble could, though not meaning to, open a troubling Pandora’s Box; as today it’s Honduras but come tomorrow who’s next and on and on.

Keep this up and one morning instead of the pen and phone, the United Nations will gain entry so as to monitor everything-what a way to lead the way transforming us to one world order whereby we become a mere regulated world state than nation.

Sincerely, G. Dunbar Moomaw Dahlgren (warning: the letter below contains graphic wording that may be found unsuitable or distressing) Dear Editor: Caring people around the world have rightly denounced a cruel video that was posted online recently showing a group of fishers forcing a fish to smoke a cigarette as the terrified animal struggles to breathe.

While this video is notable for its extreme cruelty and callousness, please know that all fish can feel pain, and they suffer terribly on the journey from sea to supermarket.

When fish are dragged out of their ocean homes, their gills collapse, their eyes bulge out of their heads, and their swim bladders burst because of the sudden pressure change.

I.M.H.O. When I received the above letter in an email, I flashed back to a newscast of the mentioned video.

At the time I did smile, but quickly realized how bad it must be for the fish.

I know there is not one of you reading this that has not “laughed” at something that was probably not meant to be funny.

I’ve grown up with America’s Funniest Home Videos, and am amazed at some of the antics and videos that have been shown. An unstaged video, that had a safe outcome can be hilarious. (ever tripped and looked around to see if someone saw you?)

Colonial Beach hosts First Friday Art Walk Reclaimed wonders Kostas Paphides was born in England but has lived in Virginia since he was 2 years old. He grew up in the Norfolk/Virginia Beach area until he was a teen, when his family moved to Arlington.

He and his wife, Elaine, now reside in Montross, where they have lived since 1998.

Growing up around the ocean, having a cabinet makers in his bloodline (maternal grandfather) and an interest in architectural design seems to be at the root of his artistic abilities, producing wondrous works of art from driftwood and barn wood. To read his bio, his creations simply turned from a hobby to a business, Kostas Kreations.

Kostas said rather than his architectural passion influencing his work, it is the piece of wood that steers him to what he will create from it.

Kostas gathers whatever he can find from the banks of the Potomac and turns it into a masterpiece such as bird houses, furniture, rockfish and largemouth bass replicas.

His art has been featured in many of the local shops around Montross and along the Northern Neck and currently is displayed at the Fisheries Commission at 222 Taylor St. in Colonial Beach until the end of this month. If you miss his work, examples can be viewed on his website at www.pbase.com/epaphides/kostas or follow him on facebook at Kostas Kreations or call 804-493-1043.

The once-a-month art walk event draws residents and visitors from all over the area who enjoy the opportunity to view a wide variety of artwork on display from local and regional artists while socializing with friends and merchants. Commercial locations in Colonial Beach provide space to exhibit the fine workmanship.

BELOW: As a child Carolyn Goodridge ran away often, now she is helping bring siblings, separated in foster care, back together by giving part of the proceeds from her work to Siblings Together USA.

Inspired by the cosmos Carolyn Goodridge grew up in Brooklyn, N.Y., as an adventurer. Her adventurous spirit was channeled early at the age of 8, when she began writing short stories and plays. Goodridge remembers enlisting friends to help her perform her productions.

Her creative spirit overtook her desire for adventure when she took up music. Her mother bought her a beautiful Wurlitzer.

At around the age of 16, her adventurous spirit resurfaced and she began to run away, worrying her parents. Goodridge said her favorite thing to do was to walk away from home, get lost and see if she could find her way back. One day her travels took her as far as L. A. Goodridge found her travels made her yearn for a creative outlet for all the wonders she saw. She realized that through art she could share her adventures and preserve them.

So she began drawing. Goodridge started working in beeswax 10 years ago on the advice of a colleague.

Goodridge finds joy and reverence in visceral energy, like the sun, wind, rain and earth. The cosmos give her inspiration. She suspects her interest in the universe stems from her adventurous nature.

The goal of her work is to allow others to experience the universe through sight and sound and to capture the wonder of the universe with drama and emotion. Goodridge knows her work is finished when the colors create a mental orchestra or harmonious symphony.

Goodridge has shown at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Botanical Gardens in Norfolk and in Florida.

County businesses and other commercial entities are not permitted to participate.

This is a good time to glance around your garage and basement, shed or other corners of your home where such leftover or unused items could be stored. regular waste into the landfill, It also includes liquids that should not be poured down the sink or flushed in the toilet.

This is a good time to glance around your garage and basement, shed or other corners of your home where such leftover or unused items could be stored.

The numerous items classified as “household hazardous waste” include common items such as all types of batteries, household cleaners, paint, turpentine, paint stripper, rust remover, paint thinner, varnish, automotive fluids including old and/

or used motor oil and antifreeze, along with pesticides, insecticides, fertilizers and other stuff that requires special disposal.

Acceptable items also include fluorescent light bulbs and other light tubes, swimming pool chemicals and other chemicals, aerosol cans, kerosene, and cleaning chemicals and other solvents.

CB eyes ‘living shorelines’ to replace conventional erosion control methods Linda Farneth Waterfront residents soon will face stricter guidelines for managing erosion. Although “living shorelines” only will be considered the “preferred” method of control in Colonial Beach, it may become mandated.

The Colonial Beach Planning Commission had a public hearing Aug. 7 and unanimously voted to send a recommendation to the Town Council to amend the Comprehensive Plan, naming “living shorelines” as the preferred method of erosion control over bulkheads or rip rap for landowners along the Potomac River

and its tributaries.

Scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science are concerned traditional methods of controlling erosion will threaten the long-term sustainability of coastal ecosystems.

In response to these fears, the Virginia General Assembly passed new legislation that requires localities use a non-structural shoreline protection to protect shores from erosion and adopt these policies in their comprehensive plans by 2014.

The alternative to traditional hard techniques, such as bulkheads and rip rap is a “living shoreline.” Using a combination of native plant species,

stone, sand fill and other structural and organic materials to help stop erosion, living shorelines are believed to have a positive impact in nature and local marine-life.

Although the comprehensive plan describes these methods as preferred, Planning Director Gary Mitchell told the commission this method likely will become mandated by the state.

Virginia Code states that after 2011 all local governments shall include guidance regarding coastal resource management and guidance for appropriate selection of living shoreline management practices.

Localities also must amend their

comprehensive plans to include such a plan.

Mitchell said any homeowner wishing to apply for a permit to implement erosion control will be directed to the Westmoreland County Wetlands Board.

Westmoreland County Wetlands Board Coordinator Charlie Wrightson confirmed the county already has adopted a policy that requires an applicant seeking a permit to install erosion control, to provide evidence why hard shoreline protection techniques would be necessary as opposed to a living shoreline solution.

King George Sheriff’s Office seeking Fairview Beach burglary suspects The King George County Sheriff ’s Office is asking for the help of the public in identifying and locating a man and a woman who, police said, burglarized a Potomac River restaurant last week.

Sgt. Kecia Wharton said the burglary occurred Aug. 6 at Rick’s on the River in

Fairview Beach. Wharton said the couple broke into the restaurant after hours and fled with food and alcohol.

Wharton said the burglary was captured on the restaurant’s surveillance cameras and pictures of the man and the woman taken by the cameras were distributed in hopes of locating the pair.

Anyone with information on the couple, including their identification or whereabouts, is asked to contact Detective Drew Massey of the King George Sheriff ’s Office at 540-7752049.

She is survived by three children, Helen Goerlitz (Henry) of King George, JoAnne Bullock (George-deceased) of King George, and Archie Ray Daniels (Barbara) of Albuquerque. Ethel is also survived by five grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

George Ellis Rick

George Ellis Rick, 94, of King George County quietly completed his beautiful journey on Friday, Aug. 8, 2014.

It was one that was filled with a love of God, family, friends and country.

He has joined in heavenly peace his wife, Emily; daughter Susie; his father, Frank, and mother Edna; and his two brothers, Frank and Fletcher. Also with him now are his father- and mother-in-laws, Roy and Susie Dodd; brother- and sister-inlaws Jack and Roberta Warden; his son-in-law, Eddie Parry; and granddaughter Jennifer Serres.

He is survived by his daughter, Emily Parry; son George Jr.; eight grandchildren; and 13 great-grandchildren. His extended family includes Jackson and Patricia Warden, Bob and Lisa Warden, Alan and Ana Warden, Gary and Linda Jenerette,

Jennifer Paris, Deborah Serres-Rick and Richard and Peggy Green.

George was a longtime member of Round Hill Baptist Church and an active member of numerous local community and charity organizations.

He served in the Army Air Corps during World War II and retired from the Naval Station at Dahlgren as a civil engineer in 1990 after 40 years of service to his country.

He was an avid sailor, golfer, bowler and card player and, over the course of his life, he enjoyed a wide range of interests, from traveling extensively to playing bridge and poker and shooting pool at the Colonial Beach Moose Lodge.

He also wrote poetry and published a number of his poems in 2010 in his book entitled, “Words of Worth.”

This final poem from his book expresses well his parting wishes: CROSSING THE RIVER When I cross that one way river, Around the bend where man can’t see; Grieve but shortly, praise God greatly, For other friends there wait for me!

A memorial service will be held in September, the month of his birthday, as a way for his family and friends to join together to celebrate his life.

Information regarding the exact time and place of the service will be announced later and will also be available on the Nash and Slaw Funeral Home website.

In the meantime, donations in his honor, in lieu of flowers, may be made to Round Hill Baptist Church, Box 467, King George, VA 22485 or to the D-Day Memorial Foundation, Box 77, Bedford, VA 24523.

OUTDOORS

Sportsman show enjoyable for the family Mark Fike Last weekend was the 31st annual Virginia Outdoor Sportsman Show in Richmond. For some, this is the primer for hunting season, which opens in September for dove, goose, teal (east of Interstate 95) and squirrel.

I have to say that if you have never been to the show, you are missing out.

The venue at Richmond International Raceway is perfect for the booths and displays. We always attend Friday evening when the crowds are smaller and it makes a difference for us. We can freely view products and take photos without waiting in line too long to speak to vendors.

While we don’t have satellite or cable television, we have seen a few episodes of Swamp People. I was very impressed by RJ and Jay Paul Molinere of Swamp People; those guys seemed like the real deal. What impressed me was their patience and willingness to talk to people in a genuine manner that did not make you feel like they were simply doing time. They came across as very personable and extremely polite. I was glad to have taken a few minutes to stand in line while my family went over to speak to them.

The Virginia Deer Classic was ramping up Friday night with a lot of gorgeous deer heads being hauled into the building to be scored. There apparently were some really nice bucks taken last season by a number of people. Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries personnel already were busy scoring the racks as they came in. The Virginia Gunning Decoy Contest also was building its displays as we arrived. I was stunned at the detail of some of the decoys and carvings of birds.

Mark Fike photos

Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries biologists, left, were busy measuring racks of whitetail deer as they came in Friday for the show.

The waterfowl carvings, above, were incredibly done to the finest detail.

One of the nice things about going to the show is meeting people you have met before in the outdoor’s world. I ran into Teddy Carr of Outdoor Action with Teddy Carr. I enjoyed a goose hunt with him, personally guiding and calling the shots a few years ago and have since spoken to him on the phone a few times. We chatted briefly

and caught up a bit. I also met the folks that operate the Orapax Hunting Preserve in Goochland County near Richmond. We had a very enjoyable visit and I hope to go do some bird hunting there this fall. You can look up their preserve at http://orapax.com/.

I was impressed with their business model and their professionalism while

still being very down to earth.

As with many outdoor shows, visitors could have their fill of T-shirts, hunting accessories, artwork and calls for various species of animals. The occasional honk of a goose resounded through the air as a vendor was busy putting his calls on display. He was very realistic and made me yearn for a place to goose hunt this September. It is hard to believe the season is merely weeks away.

One booth we had to visit while we were there was Kenny’s Spices, which has been at the show the past few years. After we met him the first year, we have been sure to seek him out every year since. His cooking spices are incredible. The best part is that there is no MSG in any of them

Outdoor Report Mark Fike Fishing continues to be pretty good if you fish early and late.

Saltwater fishing has improved quite a bit in the bay and ocean.

Rappahannock River--- There reportedly is work being done at the City Dock. Keep that in mind if you want to launch there. It is closed to boat launching until at least September.

Upriver, the fishing is good for catfish in deep holes with stink bait and cut bait. Bass are holding tight to structure. Sunfish are in the riffles and eddies that are deeper.

Downriver, the catfish bite is quite good for eating-sized fish. The larger fish are a bit harder to find.

Bass fishing has been very good for those using jigs and plastics. Donna at Ken’s Tackle in Spotsylvania reported the Junebug color was hot. She also reported anglers taking snakeheads near Little Falls.

Crankbaits and buzzbaits also were used to fill livewells during the weekend tournament.

Potomac River— Ken’s Tackle in Spotsylvania reported very good croaker action from Colonial Beach downstream. Use squid for those fish.

Aqua Land is reporting the croaker fishing in their stretch was a bit slow compared the past few weeks. However, anglers can pick at them and get some beautiful fish. Use squid or peeler. No word on bluefish or rockfish this week.

Catfish are hitting cutbait quite well.

Perch are busy hitting baits dragged across the shoals or in creeks. With nighttime temps cooling some, the perch will start biting even better in the tributaries.

Inland waters Ponds are great early and late for bass. Some really big bass are being caught on plastics.

Motts Run reported great action for pan-sized bass up to 2 pounds on artificials. Anglers are fishing deeper water to get them though.

The sunfish also were actively hitting nightcrawlers and a citation was caught too. Catfish are hitting well on chicken liver off the docks and all over the reservoir.

Saltwater The flounder bite has been quite good all over the bay this past week.

Cobia are very active with some very large fish being caught. Captain Ryan Rogers of the Midnight Sun (804-580-0245) now is back at Smith Point. Rumors are circulating one of his clients caught a huge Spanish mack that might be close to

or become the new state record. The Spanish are hit or miss still in the Point Lookout area although some anglers are catching them further up the bay and some down the bay.

Off the oceanfront, they are hitting very well. Croaker are hitting well in the bay now. The action is spotty, but when you find them they are hitting very well.

KG football reloads, eyes another big year Leonard Banks Sports editor King George High School has returned for another season of actionpacked varsity football.

With the first scrimmage of the season just three days away (a home game against Culpeper), fans will be chomping at the bit for their first peek at this year’s squad.

After four consecutive seasons in the playoffs, including a Regional Championship appearance against Smithfield in 2012, fans will accept nothing but success.

However, in face of the reality of losing 23 players to graduation, including key contributors Kendall Harvey, Jordi Estes, Markiece Johnson, Corey Henderson and a host of others, Foxes’ head coach Jeff Smith will have a host of challenges to overcome.

“We’re slowly but surely replacing

last year’s standouts, and as the season unfolds we will continue to build and get stronger,” Smith said. “As for now, we’re doing well because we have so much depth it’s unbelievable.”

With 125 kids trying out on both the varsity and junior varsity level, Smith and his cast of assistants have the potential to field another competitive squad that will impact their conference again. Last season, the Foxes finished with a 9-3 record, including a win versus long-time former Battlefield rival James Monroe, who they had not beaten in 10 years.

Personnel-wise, the Foxes have bulk up front, and speed at all the skill positions. On paper, they have the appearance of a rebuilding squad, when in fact the newcomers have all the skills to help this team reload for another playoff run. With Zach Johnson and Will Clift battling it out for quarterback, Smith has inherited a win-win situation — two athletes ca-

“We’re slowly but surely replacing last year’s standouts, and as the season unfolds we will continue to build and get stronger.”

Jeff Smith, Foxes’ head football coach

pable of taking him to the promised land of the playoffs.

“Zach doesn’t mind sticking his nose in there, when his number is called,” Smith said. “It’s amazing to watch Johnson and Clift go into action because it puts us in a position where the sky is the limit to what we

can do.”

As for the ground game, the Foxes are stacked with speed and grit.

With Antonio “Kentucky” Johnson, and Jacolby White bolting between offensive tackles, life in the fast lane of Smith’s single-wing offense is in good hands.

In regard to the offensive and defensive line, the Foxes have made the most of their off-season preparation.

“In years past, we averaged fifteen to twenty kids in the weight room; however, this year our numbers have more than doubled with forty-five to fifty-five players,” Smith said. “Kids have pushed each other to limit.”

The Foxes first home game of the season is Aug. 28 against Washington & Lee. The following week, King George will host Stafford. At halftime, during the Sept. 5 Stafford game, the latest honorees of the King George High School Sports Hall of Fame will be introduced.

With their backs against the wall the Drifters remain fearless.

The Drifters’ 2014 season encompasses every aspect of life on the gridiron, including recruiting kids to play football at the high school level. Whether it’s composing a high school varsity or junior varsity team or sustaining the Colonial Beach Youth Athletic Association, every coach associated with football knows their players must be able to adapt.

As for Colonial Beach High School head football coach Scott Foster, life without adversity would not be normal. In fact, the longtime head coach thrives on the very notion of pushing his players to play outside the box. After making the playoffs for the third consecutive season, Foster has high hopes his team can compete for at a state championship level.

“If you can compete on the level of Essex or Washington & Lee, you’re going to have a decent year,” Foster said. “I hope we can either split with them or beat both of them.”

Last year, the Drifters finished the season with a 5-5 record before losing to Rappahannock in the first round of the playoffs.

“We expect to go to the playoff again this season,” Foster said. “You have to believe that your team is capable of going to the playoffs, while shooting for the state championship in mind.”

Since his freshman year, 1A East Conference 43 standout Nick Graves has led the Drifters as their quarterback. Opponents will see a twist in the team’s schemes this season as the Drifters will feature several new offensive sets along with their usual single-wing attack.

With multi-athlete Lamar Lucas at running back, and Dez’John Parker at fullback, the Drifters have the full package of strength and speed in the backfield.

Standout alumni Pat Ey will take over the head coaching duties on the junior varsity level. Like Foster, Ey has to extol the virtues of iron man football. His core group of 15 players will be forced to play every down, including special teams.

“We have a very athletic team of 15 kids, where 13 of them are actually

running backs,” Ey said. “You have to make a decision on who you’re going to need back there, who you’re going to pull out to be a lineman.”

Although no decision has been made on the starting roles of his team, Anaji Lewis has been picked to lead the team at quarterback.

Not counting late entries from summer vacation, the varsity and junior varsity squads have a total of 34 players currently on their rosters.

The lack of depth has been an ongoing issue for years. With a school population of less than 200 students, the problem of low participation will not go away anytime soon.

“Depth-wise, we’re not very good,” Foster said. “However, the kids that are out here are hard workers. This situation is not new; we’re accustomed to having low numbers. We do expect to have another successful season.”

On Aug 15, the Drifters will travel to play Rappahannock County in their first scrimmage of the season.

The Drifters play their first regular season game of the season Aug. 29 at King & Queen Central.

Foxes’ golf team seeks to repeat 2013 dominance Leonard Banks Sports editor

Richard Leggitt

Washington & Lee quarterbacks Cullen Bell (left) and Treshaun Brown are getting ready for the 2014 varsity football season. Brown, a senior, quarterbacked the Eagles into the third round of the playoffs last year while Bell, a junior, led a junior varsity team that only had one loss all year.

New coach Todd Jones has high expectations for both players.

QB tandem looks to propel W&L Richard Leggitt Brown and Bell give W&L an abundance of riches at quarterback.

The optimism about the coming Washington & Lee varsity football season stems from a number of things — a talented and successful new head coach, 22 returning lettermen from a team that went to the third-round of the state playoffs last year, an infusion of fresh talent from a junior varsity team that only lost one game and an abundance of riches at quarterback.

In senior Treshaun Brown and junior Cullen Bell, head coach Todd Jones has two nimble, fleet players who can throw the football accurately and scramble when they need to do so — a necessary requirement for a quarterback leading Jones’ noted fastpaced offense.

“They are both competitive, they

both work hard and they both wanted to come in as soon as they could and get to work,” Jones said. “Either one is capable of leading this team.”

The 5-foot, 10-inch Brown begins the competition with the edge. He led the Eagles varsity last season, throwing for five touchdowns in a game against Northumberland. Brown’s passing and his ability to run with the ball helped him earn second-team all-conference honors last year.

“Treshaun has great athletic ability and good instincts,” Jones said. He’s poised and he makes the kids around him better. I want him to be more vocal as a leader and he understands that and he’s working on it.”

Jones said he is looking for a fast and fearless quarterback to operate his quick-strike offense. Brown passed for 1,903 yards and 21 touchdowns as a junior. “He can tuck it and run,” Jones

said. “So can Cullen Bell.”

Both Brown and Bell are threesport stars at W&L, leading the Eagles not only in football but also basketball and baseball. “They both know the game,” said Jones of their football talents. “So we’re going to have a quarterback competition, and competition is good.”

Ricky Fones, who coached the JV squad led by Bell last season and is serving as an assistant to Jones this year, sees qualities in Bell very similar to those of Brown.

“Cullen is a solid player,” he said.

“He is very accurate and he has good running ability when he has to run. He is poised and he doesn’t get rattled.”

Bell, who is 5-11, also plays defensive back.

On offense, Brown and Bell will be aided by running back D.J. Weldon, who rushed for 961 yards and seven

touchdowns as a sophomore, and receiver Jarret Sumiel, who caught 45 passes for 639 yards in his sophomore season.

The Eagles’ defense will return 205-pound Gabe Loesel and 230-pound Markeyse Thompson, both senior defensive linemen who made the all conference team as juniors last year.

“They have some pretty good talent at all positions, including quarterback,” said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis.

The Eagles have a three-team scrimmage with West Point and Poquoson scheduled for 5 p.m. Friday at West Point, as well as a scrimmage Aug. 22 at W&L with James Monroe.

The 1A Eagles will open their season with a tough away contest against the 4A King George Foxes at 7 p.m. Aug. 28.

Foxes’ head golf coach Jimmy Howard is having the best of both worlds.

Not only did the Foxes finish the 2013 season as the top regular season team in Conference 22, but they also won the tournament championship.

Coupled with the fact King George will host the tournament championship again this year at Cameron Hills Golf Course, the Foxes are armed with a lineup of golfers capable of surpassing last year’s success and potentially making their marks at the regional and state championships.

Last year, senior, Devin Drake shot a 75 at Regionals, while current KGHS alumni Michael Hundley finished with a 76. Drake and Hundley missed a chance to qualify for the State championship by two and three strokes, respectably.

Delighted with his team’s strong offseason work ethic and commitment to the team’s practice schedule, Howard has high hopes for his team’s success.

“I think they are progressing well, and we have a good chance to be a good team this year,” Howard said.

During the summer, Carson Marshall, Drake, and Colton Southall sharpened their course skills by competing in local tournaments.

On Thursday at Cameron Hills, the Foxes will compete in a non-district home match against triple power Riverbend.

“I added the Riverbend match to the schedule, because it would be a good test for us,” Howard said. “I’ve always thought it would be good to play tough competition—just to get our kids used to it.”

According to Howard, LibertyBealton will present the toughest challenge for the Foxes this season.

Other notable teams that will challenge the Foxes will be Eastern View and Courtland.

Currently, the 12-person team is in the midst of battling for the all-important top six spots, which has yet to be determined.

Crusaders hang first loss of year on the Rivermen Leonard Banks Sport editor

Leonard Banks

From fielding to running the base paths, area kids from the surrounding Northern Neck counties had the time of their lives at the recent first annual Oak Grove Baptist Church Baseball Camp.

Baseball camp teaches kids fundamentals, life lessons Leonard Banks Sports editor From fielding ground balls to flagging down pop flies, area Northern Neck kids recently found a new appreciation for the game of baseball.

Last week on the grounds of Oak Grove Baptist Church’s Dyer Field, kids from ages 4-12 participated in the first annual baseball camp. The baseball program is one of eight summer camps sponsored and coordinated by the church’s director of recreational activities, Daphne Davidson.

Jason Hixson, the baseball camp’s supervisor, designed a station format that was separated by age groups and focused on sharpening each player’s individual skills. The five-station setup was comprised of pitching, batting, fielding, base

Before the start of each camp activity, coaches and campers gathered at the church for a morning devotional prayer.

“We practice throwing them ground balls and how they are supposed to be in the ready position, while using the alligator chomp,” Hixson said.

On Wednesday, Hixson and his staff designed an accuracy contest, where kids threw balls at an object, such as a chair or bucket. In addition, the camp also featured a goalie drill, where kids were challenged with stopping ground balls. If the ball

stayed in front of them, they were allowed to continue, but if the ball got by them, they were taken out of the competition.

Coaches also focused on hitting techniques using soft toss and tee-hitting machines. By the end of the day, campers had a new-found understanding of how to hold and swing a bat.

Toward the end of each day, kids were given the opportunity to showcase their skills in an actual game.

The Christian-oriented program also provided camp and extended care services.

“Kids need to understand that baseball is a team sport,” Hixson said. “There are kids out there that are really good, but sometimes they get frustrated, when another kid isn’t as good.

We try to teach them that they cannot win the game by themselves.”

It was war between two of the area’s best semi-pro football teams.

On Saturday at King George High School Stadium, the long-awaited battle between the defending Mason Dixon Football League champion, Hampton-based Virginia Crusaders (5-0) and the Northern Neck Rivermen (4-1) finally took place.

The 22-7 Crusaders’ victory added a chapter in their unprecedented twoplus undefeated season MDFL reign.

The Crusaders are atop the MDFL South while, despite the loss, the Rivermen maintained their division lead in the MDFL North.

“Offensively, we got inside their red zone five times and came up with nothing,” Northern Neck Rivermen head coach Dennis Cornwell said.

Under a sustained Crusader rush, Rivermen quarterback Walt Covington and his running backs struggled in the end zone.

“We had trouble blocking those guys up front when it mattered,” Covington said. “Although we could have kicked a few field goals to put points on the board, I was trying to give my offense some confidence by getting them in the end zone.”

With 7:03 remaining in the first quarter, Crusaders’ quarterback Andre McGlone connected with Raquan Artist for a nine-yard touchdown.

After a failed two-point conversion,

the Crusaders led 6-0.

After the Rivermen suffered another stoppage on downs in the red zone, Crusader running back John Washington fumbled the ball in the end zone, where Raheem White (a KGHS alumni) recovered it for the Rivermens first and only touchdown.

Throughout the course of the third quarter, the Crusaders capitalized on several Rivermen turnovers and miscues.

“When you play great teams like the Crusaders, you can’t make mistakes — ultimately they will cost you in the end,” Cornwell said.

After a failed fake Rivermen punt, the Crusaders made the most of it as Artist capped a four-play drive with a seven-yard touchdown catch.

Tony Lewis supplied the two-point conversion, giving the Crusaders a 14-7 lead.

Later in the third quarter, with 2:22 remaining, the Rivermen were intercepted by Rahmel Merriweather.

On the ensuing Crusader drive, McGlone helped his cause with a fiveyard touchdown run. After the twopoint conversion, the Rivermens’ fate was sealed.

“We did what was necessary,” Crusaders’ head coach Larry Stith said. “Our guys played as a unit, and nobody gave up a play. We adjusted to everything they through at us.”

On Aug. 16, the Rivermen travel to Richmond to play the Virginia Hornets at 7 p.m.

Last Saturday, in semi-pro football action at King George High School stadium, the Crusaders defeated the Northern Neck Rivermen, 22-7.

KGMS football starting from scratch Leonard Banks Sports editor

Leonard Banks

With the middle school football season just a few weeks away, King George Midle School football head coach Chris Zylonis pushes the envelop of execution on his team during every practice.

King George Middle School head coach Chris Zylonis is throwing everything except the kitchen sink at the local competition this season.

Openly embracing the concept of winning is everything, the eight-year basketball and football KGMS head coach recently made the arduous task of cutting down a list of 62 aspiring players. Although his current roster is filled with seventh-graders, he is adamant about building his program with the best players available.

In the past two seasons, the Foxes have finished near the top of the local middle school standings with a 13-3 record. In addition, the Foxes averaged

Top Gun football camp

Recently, four (Zylonis, Shaub, Will Armstead, Tyler Rose) KGMS football players attended the Regional Football University Camp at Mount Vernon High School. After the camp, each player qualified to attend the 34 points per game last season while giving up just 12.

However, Zylonis is not comfortable resting on past laurels. The coaching staff is committed to building productive players who can move on to the high school level.

With a seventh-grade heavy team, Zylonis is tasked with building a team from scratch.

prodigious Top Gun Football University Camp, in Dublin, Ohio.

Every year, 800 of the best high school players in the country are chosen to play at the camp.

Out of 80 linebackers, Zylonis finished the camp with secondteam honors.

“We should have a good season, although every year is different,” he said.

“Basically, we have a predominantly different team each year, and it’s very rare that seventh-graders contribute a lot in middle school football.”

The Foxes have no returning lineman, but they do have a conditioned contingent of large, young athletes capable of creating an impact.

“We have a group of big lineman that are in shape,” Zylonis said. “Although they are raw with experience, we are prepared to coach them up to meet football standards.”

Zylonis will rely on his returning players, such as Sam Delgrande, Cannon Zylonis, Cameron Shaub, Matt Redcay, Cody Murgas to lead by example.

The job of quarterback is a toss up with five players competing for the starting role. The leading candidates include Delgrande, Cameron Gray and Chase Scott.

On Aug. 19, the Foxes will travel to Locust Grove for their only scrimmage of the season. The regular season starts Aug. 26 at home versus Floyd T. Binns.

Youth association hosts clinics

True to the old adage about the third time being the charm, after two previous postponements the King George Youth Athletic Association successfully conducted its Summer 2014 Football and Cheerleading Clinic last Friday evening at the King George High School football stadium.

Supported by the King George High School football and cheerleading coaches, the King George Middle School cheerleading coach, active King George Middle School cheerleaders, and a great many KGYAA volunteer coaches, nearly 200 football and cheerleading participants enjoyed two hours of fundamental instruction, as well as the memorable experience of being on the football field under the lights.

Most of these clinic participants are now taking to various fields across the county, with their assigned teams, to begin practicing in earnest for the swiftly approaching football campaign.

King George tech advisory committee charter revised Phyllis Cook

The King George Board of Supervisors approved another change to a charter for a planned Technology Advisory committee and also appointed a ninth member.

At a meeting Aug. 5, Jack Bernardes was nominated by James Monroe Supervisor Jim Howard and approved by the board.

Travis Quesenberry, county administrator, suggested the county hold off on the committee’s initial meeting until after Shiloh Supervisor Cedell Brooks makes his second appointment, which will bring the committee up to full membership. Brooks missed last week’s meeting due to illness.

Ramping up the committee during the summer has been slow-going with few meetings and people on vacation. A first meeting of the group is expected

The purpose of the committee is broadly defined, “to make recommendations to the board on specific policies and matters related to technology, and to make the board aware of effective and efficient technology opportunities.” to be set early this fall.

Bernardes joins the list of other appointees, which also includes Al Ventura from James Monroe, along with Cathy Binder from Shiloh, Dale Robertson and Jonathan Usher from Dahlgren, Dee Straus and Lyle Brown from James Madison, and Thad Dobbert and Tony Zilic from At-Large.

The committee idea was ignited last year by the efforts of several county residents who live in sparsely populated areas of King George. Several had addressed the board during public comment times to ask if the county could help get them access to affordable broadband internet. Supervisor

Dale Sisson encouraged forming an advisory panel to not only look at broadband issues, but also to address other issues from residents having to do with technology.

Robertson was one of the residents who attended board meetings and spoke on the broadband topic during public comment. He and several others, including Barbara Wagner, had also formed a small group of King George residents calling itself King George Connected, which began meeting last November to research possible solutions to the problems of getting broadband internet to underserved areas.

Supervisors have said they hope

the two committees would work together to overlap their efforts when the county’s tech committee begins.

The charter was revised last week to delete previous references to two members of county staff serving as members.

The makeup of the committee is now intended to be 10 members appointed by the board with each supervisor nominating individuals. The new charter also says the county administrator will provide staff support to the committee as appropriate.

The purpose of the committee is broadly defined, “to make recommendations to the board on specific policies and matters related to technology, and to make the board aware of effective and efficient technology opportunities.”

The charter provides one-year terms for members commencing at the first meeting, with the board

RCC/EFI gets double grant

able to extend terms following the initial one year.

At its first meeting, the committee is to establish a meeting schedule, elect a chairman to preside at meetings and to serve as the representative of the committee to the King George Board of Supervisors. It also is to elect a vice-chairman to serve in the absence of the chairman.

Minutes are expected to be taken, described in the charter as, “A full and true permanent record shall be kept of all meetings of the committee.”

An annual report is to be presented to the board of supervisors by the chairman or his/her designee prior to the end of the calendar year. As an advisory committee to a public body, state law requires that meetings be open to the public, with notice be provided for all meetings of the committee.

At a formal reception on July 31, the River Counties Community Foundation (an affiliate of the Community Foundation Serving Richmond & Central Virginia) awarded two very generous grants to the Rappahannock Community College Educational Foundation, Inc. (RCC/EFI).

For the expansion of the YouthWorks program in Middlesex County, RCC/EFI received $1,000. The purpose of YouthWorks is to help local students find and keep summer jobs, and to learn about work ethics and professionalism in the process. Participating students gain workforce skills and financial management training through collaboration with local area businesses. The Martha Henna Harris Endowment funded this grant.

RCC’s Emergency Medical Services program also benefited from a $4,000 grant, given to provide it with realistic simulation training. The money has been used to purchase SimScope WIFI equipment, which will allow students of the EMS program to complete advanced EMT courses. This grant also came from the Martha Henna Harris Endowment, with additional funding from the Dewey & Vivian Stallard Charitable Fund, the Charles and Nancy “Ray” Paul Fund, and the River Counties Community Foundation Endowment.

Cherie Carl, RCC’s dean of college advancement and director of the RCC/EFI, expressed heartfelt gratitude to the River Counties Community Foundation for its support of educational endeavors in the community.

Things to consider as your retirement gets closer Though many people are delaying retirement, the day will still come when they leave their jobs behind and retire.

Retirement can be a difficult adjustment that takes some getting used to, but it can also prove an exciting time, especially for those who planned ahead to ensure their retirement was a time to be cherished and not feared.

Whether retirement is right around the corner or still a decade or so away, men and women should consider several factors to make sure their retirement years are an enjoyable time that allows them to live life to the fullest. * Income: Just because you’re no longer working doesn’t mean you won’t have income. Government benefits, retirement accounts and perhaps even some light consulting work are just a few ways re-

tirees can earn an income. Though your retirement income will likely pale in comparison to your income as an adult working full-time, estimate what that income will be so you can get at least an idea of how much will be coming in each month. * Monthly expenses: Once you have an idea of what’s coming in, estimate how much will be going out each month. Certain costs associated with working, such as the cost of commuting and maintaining a professional wardrobe, can be removed from the ledger. But other expenses, including utilities, car payments and possibly even a mortgage payment, will still need to be made. Once you have an idea of your projected income and your expenses during retirement, you can get to work on a prospective budget to show you what you will need to live on during re-

tirement. * Employment: Many people now look at retirement as the end of one career and the beginning of another. As retirement draws closer, men and women might want to consider turning an interest or passion into a second career. Such a move might make retirement more exciting while removing some of the fear of finding enough things to pass the time that many people have with regard to retirement. * Relocation: Where to spend your retirement years is another thing to consider before the big day arrives. Do you, like many retirees, prefer to stay in your own home?Do you want to relocate to a warmer climate or move to another country? Do you want to move closer to your children and grandchildren? Do you want to split your time in separate cities? Is a

retirement village something you might be amenable to? Each of these options is different, and each requires a different financial commitment, so carefully consider where you want to spend your retirement and then consider how you can make those wishes a reality. * Medical costs: Private insurance or government-sponsored programs likely won’t cover all of your medical costs, which typically increase as a person ages.

There are various ways to prepare for the medical costs that might arise during retirement, and the earlier you start that preparation the less stressful paying for medical care as you age figures to be.

Retirement should be an exciting time for men and women, especially for those who have spent years planning their retirement to ensure it’s as enjoyable as possible.

Men and women approaching retirement should consider a host of factors to ensure their years out of the office are as exciting and enjoyable as possible.

These are not your grandmother’s retirement homes through home proximity, residents can enjoy one another’s company and never worry about feeling lonely into their retirement years.

As the Baby Boomer generation enters retirement age, there has been an increased demand for services that meet the needs of this segment of the population. Amenities such as active-living communities that boast top-of-the-line features, typically are the first things individuals seek.

Age-restricted, 55-plus communities cater to what the name implies -- people who are age 55 and older.

However, these home developments are a far cry from what they used to be. Now they rival some of the best resorts in their features and are designed entirely around the needs of a group of active, amenity-driven people. Plus, considering there now are more Americans age 65 and older than in any other point in history, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, developers understand the benefits of catering to this group of people.

Therefore, there are more high-end

active-living communities now than ever before.

There are many choices with regard to active adult retirement communities. Many of these developments boast everything from detached, single-family homes to villas to condominiums. These residences are built with the active adult in mind. Here are some of the benefits that these communities boast.

Community companionship Due to the age-restricted nature of active-adult-home-developments, the residents are all in a similar age range, and may have similar interests. At a time in life when friendships from work may waver due to retirement, and older children may be busy with their own lives, these communities can help foster new friendships. Whether through community-sponsored activities or just

Low- or no-maintenance living One of the biggest attractions to active-adult living is that these homes are built to provide worryfree living. Included in the home ownership fees are provisions to take care of much of the interior and exterior maintenance. That means should a pipe leak or the lawn needs mowing, maintenance staff, rather than the homeowner, will handle the problem. This peace of mind enables residents to pursue interests rather than worry about the upkeep on their homes. Many times the community is expertly manicured, helping to create an aesthetically pleasing environment.

also excellent, with good proportions throughout. Clearly, it originated in a cabinet shop and is not of factory production.

As I often have mentioned in previous columns, the recent downturn in the economy has had its own impact on the antiques market, as well.

In this case, in the current scene, the desk is worth $3000, but one of this caliber ten years ago would have been far higher in value. The market for quality English furniture remains strong, but English pieces do not sell as well in America as do pieces made by American craftsmen.

I recommend against attempting polishing the brass work. First, without removing the brass prior to polishing, the polish will leave a residue on the wood, which will be nearly

impossible to remove. Second, removing the brass ornamentation for polishing will present the problem of getting it back in place as securely as it presently is. One of the most impressive attributes of this desk is that nothing significant has been done to it since its construction.

Once a year, the desk should be cleaned and waxed to preserve its patina. Otherwise, it is a great antique, which is both beautiful and serviceable.

Happy Antiquing!

This cylinder-front desk formerly belonged to a Washington lawyer, and has now been inherited by his children. The wood is mahogany with English oak secondary wood.

All of the brass inlay and trimming are in place, and the overall condition is excellent. The cylinder works quite well. They have asked whether to polish the brass.

The early nineteenth cenHenry Lane tury was a high Hull point in the production of fine English furniture, and this piece reflects that tradition. The tone of the wood is superior, with no traces of sun damage or chipping of the veneer. The architecture of the desk is

Activity-based fun Many communities build activities into the living plan. Therefore, there may be a workout room, the game center, exercise classes, movie nights and many other attractions to keep residents busy. Active-adult communities may be similar to all-inclusive vacations and cruises, in that they have their own activities coordinator on staff. Should residents prefer solo activities, the property on which these homes are built are often created with recreation in mind. There can be walking paths or areas for cycling. Pools and spas are often part of the living package, as well.

Security Individuals who are no longer bogged down with work requirements may be more likely to take vacations or go visiting. In a traditional home, there may be worries

about leaving the home unattended for a period of time. However, in 55plus residences, homes may be in gated communities or have security patrols. Also, the sheer number of homes in a townhouse-style building can camouflage homes that are currently vacant, easing the minds of those who are planning on going away.

Concierge services Some of the more exclusive communities may have staff who can help with everything from booking vacations to helping with moving details.

There also are developments that offer transitional homes, and someone may be available to help with the transition from an active-style home to one that has nursing staff or assisted living offerings at that time in life when it is needed.

Active-living communities offer many of the features that recently retired people seek in homes that do not compromise on amenities. Individuals who are looking for comfortable, maintenance-free homes often seek out these developments for the convenience and services they offer.
