Dahlgren man guilty of attempted murder Faces 27 years in prison at his Jan. 8 sentencing Richard Leggitt A Dahlgren man was found guilty of attempted murder, malicious wounding and the use of a firearm in a felony by a jury in King George Circuit Court.
The jury recommended a sentence of 27 years in prison to Judge Joseph Ellis, who will formally sentence Bell Jan. 8. The charges against Bell, 26, were the result of a shooting incident Jan. 15 in a parking lot near Bell’s Heritage Court home. The King George County Sheriff ’s Office said Bell shot Darrell Johnson multiple times, seriously wounding him. Prosecutors said during the threeday trial, which ended Sept. 26,
Johnson was an undercover p o l i c e informant who had been helping officers by making numerous crack cocaine Bell purchases from Bell while under surveillance. Bell earlier entered guilty pleas to 15 charges of distributing a controlled
substance. He also will be sentenced Jan. 8 on those charges by Ellis. During the trial, before the sevenwoman, five-man jury, Bell – known as “Sticky” by his neighbors and friends – admitted shooting Johnson, but said he fired in self defense. Bell testified he had been threatened by Johnson, who he said was a member of a drug gang. Bell said that on the day of the shooting, he arrived at the parking lot in front of his home in a car
driven by a friend, Demetrius Smith, and as soon as he got out of the car, Johnson rushed him, waving a pistol. Johnson denied having a weapon, and no weapon other than the gun Bell used to shoot Johnson was found at the scene, officials said. Johnson, who was shot three times in the upper body, was able to crawl to the doorstep of his home before collapsing. He was hospitalized for several weeks as a result of his injuries. Bell was arrested by sheriff ’s officers
within an hour of the shooting. King George Commonwealth’s Attorney Keri Gusmann said the conviction was the result of a “total team effort” and expressed her appreciation to the sheriff ’s office and state police for their assistance with the investigation. She also praised Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Jennifer Pollard for her “brilliant job of presenting the prosecution’s case to the jury.”
dog days of summer come to an end Wittman, Mosher to But for several local pooches, it went out on a high note and a hula dance square off Marty van Duyne News Net News Layla is just 14 weeks old and, like most pups, the Staffordshire bull terrier wavers between exuberance and exhaustion. So at an event like the Fredericksburg Pet Show that features myriad animal sights, smells, and sounds that can cause even the most mature dog to quickly become over stimulated, the pup didn’t know quite where to look first. Layla padded along the shiny concrete floor as she tried to meet and greet the other leashed dogs attending the recent event at the Fredericksburg Expo Center. At times, Anita Fulmore carried her young pup through the crowded venue, but Layla was back on the floor in a flash to play with a newly purchased ball and rope Tugg-O toy. In contrast to the young pup, 10-year-old West Highland White Terrier, Abby, rode through the event in her dog stroller. Sandra Harrison had dressed Abby in
a red dress with a white floral print. She accented the dog’s Hawaiian outfit with a silk flower on the center back of the dress and added a flower to her collar. Though Abby seemed content to ride in her canine chariot, she eagerly stood up and gave a hula demonstration when a treat was held out. Harrison gently lifted her onto the floor, and holding a treat above Abby’s head said, “Watch this.” Abby’s back paws moved in the traditional hula step and she crossed her front paws at her chest in the “Love Hand Movement.” Reserved or rambunctious, Abby and Layla both demonstrated their enjoyment at the Fredericksburg Pet Show. The third annual event featured 79 exhibitors and included a live reptile show and miniature horse, police K9, and Teacup Agility demonstrations. It culminated with a pet talent contest on Sunday afternoon.

KG attorney: Locals need fracking input Phyllis Cook A state advisory panel considering recommendations for tightening regulations on oil and gas drilling was asked by a local official to allow for local land ordinances to be considered for any application. The latest technology for gas drilling is called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, with the state considering changes to address the issues presented by the technology. Fracking is a process of deep underground drilling, both vertically and horizontally, creating fractures in rock formations by injecting fluid into cracks to force them further open, thus allowing gas to be extracted. The Sept. 24 meeting, the panel’s fifth, was
Find out more Documents from all the panel meetings, along with agendas and discussion summaries can be found at dmme.virginia. gov/DGO/RegulatoryAction.shtml in King George. It resulted in concurrence on some suggestions, with others yet to be decided. Panelists agreed at least one more meeting will be scheduled. The meeting was the latest in a series since a Texas-based company, Shore Exploration and Production Corp., leased 84,000 acres in five area counties as a potential fracking site. The counties — King George, Westmoreland, Caroline, Essex and King & Queen — make
up part of the Taylorsville Basin, where there’s an estimated 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas available. Michael Skiffington of the state Department of Mines, Minerals and Energy provided an overview of the panel’s efforts to date and steered the discussion. The agenda included consideration of additional requirements for drilling in the local geologic formation called the Taylorsville Basin, which underlies this area of the state, including a large section of the Chesapeake Bay, which is considered environmentally sensitive. The nine-member panel includes Eric Gregory, county attorney for King George, representatives from the state mining agency,
the Department of Environmental Quality, Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, a local government attorney and two representatives from the gas and oil industry. Gregory pushed for more local control, urging a certification requirement for adherence to local land use ordinances. He asked for the regulations to make the state hold off on acceptance of permit applications until a review determines compliance with local land use regulations. Another suggestion was for the state’s Department of Environmental Quality to open its regulations for review and updating; it was deemed outside the panel’s purview.
Republican Congressman Rob Wittman and his Democratic challenger, Norm Mosher, will meet in their second debate Oct. 6 at the University of Mary Washington. Wittman, who has represented the First Congressional District since 2007, is a Montross resident. He co-chairs the House Chesapeake Bay Watershed Caucus. Prior to his election to Congress, he served in the Wittman House of Delegates for the Northern Neck. He also was on the Montross Town Council from 198696, serving as mayor from 1992-96. Mosher retired from the U.S. Navy with the rank of captain after serving for 26 years. He Mosher served on the Irvington Town Council and as chair of the Lancaster County Democratic Committee. The debate likely will touch on many issues, including the economy, unemployment, transportation and international issues, such as the Middle East, said Stephen Farnsworth, professor of political science at the university of one of the debate’s moderators. “All in all, it is a great opportunity for people to learn first-hand about the candidates to represent them in Congress,” he said. “In these days of attack ads and slash-and-burn politics, debates are a great way for the candidates to put their issues out there and give voters a sense of where each would like to take the country in the future.” The First Congressional District is comprised of the counties and cities of Caroline, Essex, Fredericksburg, Gloucester, King and Queen, King George, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, Nothumberland, Poquoson, Richmond, Stafford, Westmoreland, Williamsburg and York, as well as parts of Fauquier, James City, Newport News, Prince William and Spotsylvania. The debate is co-sponsored by the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, The Free Lance-Star, UMW’s Young Democrats, UMW’s College Republicans, The Blue and Gray Press and the university’s Center for Leadership and Media Studies. “This has been a great opportunity for students to experience how to put an event like this together,” Farnsworth said.

The original Hebrew written text was a picture language-much like the Egyptian hieroglyphics. When Moses wrote the Torah (the first five books of the Bible), he used this picture language. Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is a picture with meaning. When we put these letters together, they form a word, but they also form a story within the word! Proverbs 25:2, tells us, “The honour of God is to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.” (Young’s Literal Translation) This is exactly what God has done with His language! In the past, we have looked at the word for “fire” (esh) and how it is tied into the words for husband and wife. Today, I want to look at the two types of fire in Hebrew. The first word is “asham” (pronounced “ah-shawm”). Do you notice how the word looks very close to the English word “shame” or more closely, “ashamed”? The first two letters of the word spells fire — “esh” (“alef ” “sheen”). The third letter is the “mem” and means “chaos”. This first type of fire is the “fire” (esh) of “chaos” (mem)! With this type of fire — shame, blame and guilt — instead of gold (refining fire), you get dross! Next month, we will look at the second type of fire! Blessings & Shalom!

Farmers and large machinery are on the roads - As many of you may already know, the harvest season has long begun. Farmers are busy harvesting corn now, so the combines are on the roads, and may be until late December until the soybean crop is in. So please drive with caution. 2. Deer are now starting to come in rut. The rut is the time when white-tailed deer, especially bucks, are more active and less cautious than usual. The does come in estrus and the poor buck has only one thing on his mind at this time of the year: to find as many does as he can. This makes them much more susceptible to being hit by motor vehicles. So now you not only scan for combines and other large farm equipment on the roads, but deer that have only one thing on their mind. 3.

The shores and banks of the Potomac are rapidly changing. They are at risk! “Mother Nature”, lack of strategic planning, and failure to implement erosion preventative measures are negatively impacting the Potomac and its watershed. The funds earned through the generosity of tournament sponsors will enable many overdue projects on the Potomac to be initiated. The FBRA Fund Raising Committee is actively seeking sponsors from our local businesses and the community. There are many sponsorship opportunities for businesses/individuals which will be recognized and advertised throughout the day of the tournament.

In the second quarter, the Drifters capitalized on a fumble that resulted in Lucas’ two-yard touchdown run and a 12-6 lead. However, the Drifters failed to convert their second attempt at a two-point conversion. The missed opportunity would later haunt them as the game unfolded. With less than 30 seconds left in the half, the Drifters recovered another fumble. Lucas completed a nine-play drive with a touchdown pass to Mikey Mothershead. At halftime, the Drifters led 20-7.

Sports editor Thomas Jenkins’ touchdown catch with 43 seconds left in regulation brought King George back from a 13-point deficit to nip Colonial Beach. The Sept. 26 win at Monroe Park will forever be embedded in the mind of the junior tight end. “The quarterback (Will Clift) told me to do a corner route, and I knew right away that I was going to be open,� Jenkins said. “After I hit that right step and caught the ball, I saw the wide open field with all the fans screaming. It was a perfectly thrown pass; it could not have happened better.� The catch helped tie the game at 28-28 and sent it into overtime. The last time Colonial Beach (3-1) had beaten the King George (2-3) in a varsity match up during their age-old historic rivalry was in 2008.

Drifters’ lead to 28-21. With time quickly fading, and the Foxes facing a third-and-15
situation, it appeared the Drifters were on the edge of an upset. However, the miracle 51-yard touchdown reception from Jenkins would force overtime. Although the Drifters converted their first 10-yard attempt to score in overtime with a Dez’John Parker one-yard run, the Foxes stopped Lucas short of the goal line on the two-point conversion attempt. Combined with a Drifter penalty and a five-yard pass from White to Jordan Aley, the Foxes tied game at 34-34. Chas Parker would convert the extra point for the win. “Our kids fought and never gave up,� Foxes’ head football coach Jeff Smith said. “With three minutes to go, many teams in the past would have hung their heads, but our boys responded.� This week, the Drifters travel to face Charles City, while the Foxes will enjoy a bye week before hosting former Battlefield Division rival James Monroe.
Eagles roll on, stay undefeated Richard Leggitt Washington & Lee’s Eagles, playing without star running back D.J. Weldon, remained undefeated Sept. 26, downing the King William Cavaliers in a home Eagles contest. The Eagles, powered by a dominating running game, are 4-0 heading Cavaliers into this week’s game at Spotsylvania. Fullback Marion Pollard and running back Dexter Thompson powered the victory. Pollard, a 192-pound senior, bulldozed though the Cavalier defensive line for 114 yards, and Thompson, a 170-pound senior running back, picked up 105 yards, primarily on sweeps and options. The Eagles’ win also was keyed by a bend-but-don’t-break defense that

mentum-building touchdown in the fourth quarter. After spotting King William a 6-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, W&L scored three times in the second quarter for an 18-6 halftime lead. The second-quarter scoring featured senior quarterback Treshaun Brown, scooting around the left side for seven yards on a keeper; junior wide receiver Jarret Sumiel ripping up the middle on a third and goal, and then Thompson running around the left end for a two-yard score with 41 second left in the half. “We had some breaks, and we were able to get some turnovers,� said W&L Coach Todd Jones. “King William is a good football team.� The Eagles sealed the win in the fourth quarter with a 29-yard scamper by Thompson. The Eagles also were inspired by the play of a speedy, bantamweight junior running back playing in the
place of Weldon, who is out for the season after breaking his leg in two places in the Eagles’ victory against Rappahannock. Ramani Goode weighs 121 pounds and wore an oversize W&L jersey that sometimes came down to his knees. But he powered into the Cavalier defensive line again and again, crashing into players, often twice his size, bouncing up and showing his grit by going at the defense until he picked up yards. Goode returned punts and had 47 yards on 16 carries for W&L, but his spirit and toughness in attempting to fill the gap left by Weldon, a star in W&L’s first three wins, fired up his teammates and was a major factor in the team’s fourth straight victory. “When someone goes down, someone else has to step up,� Jones said. “Ramani did that.�
Drifters’ volleyball gets swept Leonard Banks Sports editor The Drifterdome was silenced Sept. 23 as the Middlesex Chargers’ volleyball team dominated the Drifters in three straight games (25–9, 25–16, 25–11). The Chargers front three forced the Drifters into submission with a consistent barrage of kills and forced passing errors. For Colonial Beach, Manana Mortor posted four kills, while McKenzie Conway added three kills, six digs and three aces. Game one Tambria Wake and Beth Eanes had three kills apierce during the Chargers’ win. The defining moment in the game occurred with Austin Taylor’s serving, as the Chargers shutdown the Drifters with a 9-0 run. Game two After the Drifters took a 3-0 lead, the game’s momentum quickly switched. In fact, the game featured eight ties during the first 12 exchanges. Although the Drifters fought back to stay within a few points of the lead, the Chargers forced the Drifters into six passing errors and a kill from Eanes to finally close the game out. Game three Rachael Howard started the game off with four aces, which led to a 9-0 run (10-1 lead). Unable to rally, the Foxes soon fell prey to passing errors and net violations. Although the Drifters managed to score three additional points off two Chargers passing errors and a kill from Deniya Newman, the Chargers’ 10-point lead proved to be insurmountable. Eanes closed the game out with three aces and a kill.

The King George B League fall baseball team is the hottest junior varsity team on the diamond. Excited with his team’s success, firstyear head coach Joey Friedman believes his team’s 7-3 record is attributed to a solid work ethic. “I am really proud of them,� Friedman said. “Their work ethic has gotten better every single day. I preach attitude, effort, and it continues to improve as the season unfolds.� King George is a member of the Rappahannock Fall High School Baseball League. Information pertaining to schedules and standings can be found at www.rfbl.com. Talent-wise, the Foxes are solid. With four players from the 2014 junior varsity championship team, including Dre Turner, Ryan Sivak and Mason Newton, King George is strong throughout its batting order. “Turner has a lot of potential,� Friedman said. “He’s got speed, great arm strength and he can hit—the sky is the limit for him. Scouts look for five tools — defense, hitting, power, arm strength, speed, and Dre has got them all.� Pitching-wise, Friedman is careful not to overpitch his players. Players who have pitched consistently include Turner, Sivak, Newton and Sam Benson.

He hopes to inspire his team with his vast knowledge of the game. “I demand a lot of out of them, and they’ve responded well,� Friedman said. “Most of the primary focus of fall baseball is developmental. However, I feel a team needs to develop a sense of competitiveness. “I try to look back on the coaches that I’ve had, with the hope that I can do half as much for my players that they did for me,� he added.
“I limit our baseball staff to 40 pitches or two innings,� Friedman said. “I strongly feel that guys are getting overworked.� Challenges that face developmental teams range from game fundamentals to eliminating mistakes. In light of not having enough players to field a varsity team, Friedman chose to use the available personnel resources in King George. If King George continues on its present path as the leader in the B division, they, along with the runner-up, will qualify for the upcoming playoffs.

Crusaders, who are made up of last year’s 12U National Championship team. The Foxes started the scoring early with an interception return for a touchdown and continued to put up points and a 50-0 victory, improving their record to 2-1 and second place in VA AAU, only behind the number four 14U team in the USA. The Foxes are all on the road next week, with the 14U team in Virginia Beach, the 10U team at Stafford and the 8U and 12U teams at Midlothian.

Town to toast its birthday with bucs Linda Farneth
Avast, ye mateys! Port Royal will celebrate its 270th birthday with its 2nd Annual Charter Day Celebration. The free Oct. 4 event on the King Street green, just off Route 301, will have a pirate theme and allows the tiny town of about 250 residents to show off its best. The event is from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., rain or shine. The event will be rich in history, education and tales of the past, including the tale of Peuman (pronounced Newman), who in the 1600’s, raided outposts along the shoreline, as well as other watercraft on the Rappahannock River. The townsfolk will tell the tale of how they, tiring of the thievery, cornered Peuman on a branch of Mill Creek and brought him to their own form of justice, explaining why the regional jail and nearby creek both bear the name “Peumansend”. There also will be pirates and privateers to battle for booty, as well as games for the kids and grog for the adults. Well, it won’t actually be rum, but the beer garden will feature Bud Light and Devil’s Backbone on tap. There also will be music and a market faire. Jaxx Parrow and Blackbeard’s Crew also will be on hand to plunder and entertain Port Royal, as well as a replica of John Smith’s 1608 ship that he used to sail the Rappahannock. “We are very excited about this year’s event,” said Bill Henderson, a member of the event’s planning committee. “We think the pirate theme will be well-received, and event-goers are encouraged to come dressed as pirates.”

Montross Fall Festival this weekend Richard Leggitt Stan’s Skateland, one of Virginia’s few remaining indoor skating rinks, will kick off the 2014 Montross Fall Festival this weekend with an Oct. 2 Family Skate Night, sponsored by Peoples Community Bank. Stan’s, opened in 1980 by Westmoreland County businessman Stan Schoppe, will be hosting Montross area families from 6-8 p.m. so skaters of all ages can roll around the rink to music. The family skate night will be the opening act in a three-day festival that will conclude Oct. 4 with a Fall Festival Block Party at Westmoreland Volunteer Fire Department’s firehouse. “We are hoping for good weather,” said Montross Town Manager Brenda Reamy. “We are excited about this year’s theme of ‘Return to the Village’, which is also the theme of Montross’ Revitalization.” Reamy said Montross officials are expecting more than 60 vendors to display their products, arts and crafts during this year’s festival. Montross has been hosting the fall festival for more than 60 years. It originally was sponsored by the fire department, then the chamber of commerce and, for the last 20 years, by the town. Activities scheduled for Oct. 3 will include a chocolate-chip cookie contest, sponsored by the Garland Law Office and the Westmoreland County Museum, a customer appreciation luncheon, hosted by Union First Market Bank, and the Little Miss Fall Festival Pageant at Washington & Lee High School at 6 p.m. Saturday will kick-off the 6th Annual Chandler 3-Mile Race, hosted by the Washington & Lee High School cross-country team at 8 a.m. For those not previously registered, race day registration will be $20. The 3-mile event will be followed by a 1-mile race at 9 a.m. Also on Saturday at 9 a.m., there will be opening ceremonies at the old Westmoreland County Courthouse, with a welcome by Montross
File photo
The parade is one of the highlights of the Montross Fall Festival. Mayor R. David O’Dell, Jr. That will be followed by a sidewalk-chalk art contest, sponsored by the Art of Coffee, a Native American exhibit
at the Westmoreland County Museum and a pet show, sponsored by People’s Insurance Agency. At 2 p.m. will be the annual
parade. The grand marshal this year is lifelong Montross civic leader Peggy Burner. Throughout Saturday, music
will be provided as awards are announced and raffles are held on the Courthouse porch.

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS
I-95’s Confederate Battle Flags stir controversy When I was growing up, the C onfederate Battle Flag, the “Stars and Bars,” as I was re ve re nt i a l ly taught to call it, was common place in the south. It was used in advertising, at David S. Kerr public events, and it was not unusual to see the flag displayed at football games and parades. I even had a Confederate kepi (that’s the hat
the Confederate soldiers wore) for playing war. We frequently took on the Union Army. But, that was a long time ago and as I’ve grown older, and I know more about the world, I wish we hadn’t spent so much time honoring this symbol of the Confederacy. For a lot of people, it’s not a particularly friendly symbol, and while certainly history, is often, sadly, used to convey hostility or racism. Recently, there has been a movement to start displaying the Confederate Battle Flag on private property, often however, in highly visible public locations. There is certainly no room, in terms of free
speech or property rights, to object. These rights, particularly in the Commonwealth, are inviolable. You can say anything you want and use your property as please. These folks are called “Flaggers” and they’re trying to make a statement. “Flaggers” don’t think small. They have focused on interstate I-95, one of the nation’s busiest highways, and last year raised a big flag, very visible from the interstate, over Chester outside Richmond. After that, at I-95’s mile marker 134, north of Fredericksburg, they raised an even bigger one. This time, it’s on an 80 foot pole. It’s taken more than a few
local residents and interstate travelers by surprise. The group is planning even more locations and more flags. Thing is, while I can’t argue their right to make that statement, and would readily join them in challenging anyone or any government that sought to deny them their rights, I still have to ask, if they’re enthusiasm for displaying the Battle Flag is all that “neighborly” or not. You see, I really am a southerner, have no axe to grind, and was brought up with a strong belief in neighborly goodwill and hospitality. This includes, yes, even shouting “hey” at the top of your lungs whenever you see an
old friend. Just like on the Andy Griffith Show. This southern ethos takes in everything from saying hello to a stranger, helping a sick friend get groceries, and most of all, always being civil. Civility, thinking of other people’s feelings, as it was to one famous southerner, George Washington, is a cornerstone of a life well lived. That said, displaying the old battle flag, to this southerner at least, just doesn’t seem neighborly. Or particularly civil. I understand the history. I honor it. Two of my ancestors, great-great uncles, fought for the Confederacy. They survived
but lost all they had during the war. Of course, another ancestor fought for the Union. And I suspect all of them, from the stories I have heard about them, 150 years later, would hope we had moved on from that long ago conflict. Sadly, for many citizens, African Americans in particular, it’s an unfriendly, even frightening symbol. That disturbs me, and I would hope that a sense of southern kindness and neighborliness, that concern for the feelings of others, might encourage these activists to avoid displaying it so readily.

Warner told us you could keep our health plan if you liked it, and you could keep your doctor if you wanted to. But, he broke that promise and voted “YES” for Obamacare when Virginians said loud and clear they didn’t want it. Warner promised us he would work to improve the economy and grow jobs, but then he voted “YES” for the job-killing, economy-chilling Dodd-Frank bill. Warner told us he supported the Keystone XL pipeline in order to lower gas prices and break our dependence Middle East oil, but then voted against it in the Senate. Warner told us he supported offshore drilling, but when a bill came to the Senate floor to allow drilling for oil and natural gas on the Outer Continental Shelf, he voted against it. Warner told us he supported a constitutional amendment to balance the budget, but then he voted against the Balanced Budget Amendment on the Senate floor. Warner told us he was a fiscal conservative, but he voted for a close to a trillion dollars in new taxes and $7 trillion in new debt, further saddling our children and grandchildren with
an incomprehensible and unpayable debt. Warner voted several times to suspend the federal debt limit so that he and his liberal buddies could borrow and spend without limit. Warner told us he wanted to cut taxes, but then he voted against the amendment to federal gas tax laws that would have reduced the federal government gasoline tax of $0.18 per gallon. Warner told us he supported our Second Amendment rights, but then voted against a bill that would protect our Second Amendment rights by prohibiting the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade treaty. Warner voted to appropriate funds for the transfer or release of Guantanamo terrorist detainees into the United States. Warner voted against a bill to require the completion of the fence along the United States-Mexico Border. Warner voted to support state sales taxes on online purchases. This list of Warner votes is just the tip of the iceberg. If you take the time to look at all of his votes in the Senate the last six years (www.votesmart.
org) you likely will come to the same conclusion that I have. Mark Warner is not representing the best interests of most Virginians. Mark Warner has not kept his
promises to us. He does not deserve to be re-elected.
Letters to the Editor To the Editor, Democrats at the state and national level constantly claim they are the party of the middle-class and are committed to “pocketbook” issues affecting working families. However, their stances on energy policies only make the cost-of-living more expensive and jobs less available for Americans of all backgrounds. Consider gasoline, something no one who drives a vehicle can live without. In Virginia, residents are dealing with a sales tax increase which was included as part of last year’s transportation bill. Now, absent any action from the legislature, they will also face a massive hike in gasoline taxes — 45 percent — in a little more than three months. At the federal level, members of congress and the executive branch continue to push for tax hikes on energy companies, falsely claiming that energy companies do not pay enough in taxes. They actually pay more than other industries on the S&P, a New York Times analysis found. Any tax increases will result in more money taken out of the paychecks of workers and higher prices at the pump for drivers. Furthermore, the federal bureaucracy keeps issuing rules that make businesses operations more costly or prohibitively expensive for many energy and electricity producers. Plants are shutting down and laying off workers, due the many regulations mandated from the EPA and other agencies. These are solidly middle-class jobs that disappear. Jobs in the oil and gas sector grew by 40 percent from 2007-12. It makes little sense to single out this industry for punitive treatment, given its contributions to our economy.
loophole, Main Street small business play by the rules and pay their share. I agree with Mr. Mosher when he says that “tax inversion is not a left or a right issue - it’s an issue for all American taxpayers … corporations have the right to leave America, but our taxpayers shouldn’t be forced to foot the bill when those companies reap the benefits of all the services and opportunities the country and communities provide, without paying their fair share.” Vote for congressional reform, vote for Norm Mosher on November 4. Larry F. McGlamary Kilmarnock, To the Editor, Mark Warner does not deserve to be re-elected to represent Virginians in the Senate. Mr. Warner has an affliction shared by many politicians –talk like a moderate back home, but vote like a far left liberal in Congress. Warner promised to be an independent voice in the Senate. His voting record shows he didn’t keep his promise. In the last five-plus years, he has voted just like Harry Reid told him, not what Virginians wanted or needed.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE
Larry B Kile Virginia State Central Committee King George Republican Committee To the Editor: In the last several months, we’ve seen dozens of U.S. companies shift their operations overseas in search of lower taxes, with Burger King being one of the latest. Dozen more companies are reportedly considering similar arrangements. This increasingly popular practice is known as of corporate “tax inversion,” which is a loophole in the tax code that allows a U.S.-based corporation, to buy a foreign company, “dissolve” its U.S. corporate status and then reincorporate to capitalize on that country’s lower tax rates. Such a practice could cost the U.S. $20 billion over the next 10 years. Despite these actions by some corporations, Congress has failed take a stand and stop these socalled corporate deserters from reincorporating in a low-tax country to avoid paying their fair share of federal taxes. In fact, rather than deny tax deduction to firms that shift operations overseas to avoid U.S. taxes, the incumbent Congressman Rob Wittman believes companies should pay less corporate taxes and should not be penalized for sending jobs overseas. Congressman Wittman obviously has the interest of corporations over the working men and women of the 1st Congressional District. There is a choice on this, and other, issues in November. Norm Mosher, the Democratic Congressional candidate for Virginia’s 1st Congressional District believes that while large corporations take advantage of the tax inversion

Montrossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; historic Coca-Cola bottling plant closing Richard Leggitt

The closing of the Northern Neck Coca-Cola Bottling Co. this month will cost a few dozen people their jobs. It also will have a negative impact on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revitalization efforts, officials said. The plant has been in Montross since 1931 and once was the home of Northern Neck Ginger Ale.
The Northern Neck Coca-Cola Bottling Co., the home of Northern Neck Ginger Ale and for decades, one of the last independent Coca- Cola bottling plants in Virginia, will close in October. The closing of the facility, just a few doors from Courthouse Square, which began operations 83 years ago and became famous as the home of the unique ginger ale in green glass bottles with the slogan â&#x20AC;&#x153;no funny stuff added,â&#x20AC;? is a setback for Montrossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; highly-touted revitalization effort. Coca-Cola officials, locally and at Cokeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s headquarters in Atlanta, did not comment on the closing, despite repeated requests. Town officials were notified last week of the closing and sources at the Montross facility acknowledged Coca-Colaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The mayor got an email from the company in Atlanta,â&#x20AC;? said Montross Town Manager Brenda Reamy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He informed the town council last week that Coke said they had made the decision to close.â&#x20AC;? The plant, which was owned by the Arthur Carver family since it opened in 1931, has been sold twice in the last 13 years. In 2001, it was bought by an out-of-state investor, and then in January of this year, it was purchased by Coca-Cola. Actual bottling of Northern Neck Ginger Ale, Coca-Cola, Sprite and other Coca-Cola products at the facility ceased years ago. In recent years, the Montross facility primarily
has been a Coca-Cola distributorship with less than two dozen employees. However, because of the historical significance of the Coca-Cola plant and the new challenge its closing will mean for the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts to bring revitalization to downtown Montross, town officials were saddened. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a gross receipts tax,â&#x20AC;? Reamy said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the impact on the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s revenues will not be dramatic, but it is a concern because of the Revitalization.â&#x20AC;? In the early 20th Century, CocaCola arrived in the Northern Neck by steamship. In 1921, Carver and a group of local businessmen began operating an independent Coca-Cola bottling company. Within a decade, Carver opened Northern Neck CocaCola Bottling, Inc. in a large new building at 15721 Kings Highway in Montross. In the 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the plant began bottling Northern Neck Ginger Ale, known for its unique mixture of real ginger extract, pure cane sugar and filtered artesian water. The local drink became overwhelmingly popular among residents, and through the years, its reputation has spread. Today, it can be found not only in the Northern Neck, but in stores across the nation. However, todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northern Neck Ginger Ale is bottled in South Carolina and Richmond. Soon, the other activities at the historic old building with a 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mural of CocaColaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sprite Boy on its front will me moving to Richmond, as well.

This American Empire chest comes from a family transplanted here from the New York area. It is mahogany and mahogany veneer, with pine secondary wood. The two rear feet are turned, and the pulls are original, as is the finish. From the photographs, I can see that the ends are solid, rather than paneled. American Empire furniture has retained its p o p u l a r i t y, unlike its later Victorian cousins. However, it, too, has suffered Henry Lane from the Great Hull R e c e s s i o n . This piece is especially nice, dating from 1840, with the solid ends accounting for a significant part of its value. The wooden pulls are typical of the period, and although original, make the chest worth less than if they had been brass, or glass with brass bases. Given the familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s origins, we can assume that the chest is of Mid-Atlantic manufacture, clearly from a cabinet shop, rather than a factory that engaged in mass production. As I often recommend, check the backs and bottoms of the drawers and the back for a chalk or pencil signature or a printed label telling the makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name. Finding a name could alter the value exponentially. The architecture of the chest is good, with fine proportions as to height and width. The patina shows no signs of sun damage, and the veneered sections appear to be without chipping, unlike what we find in many similar pieces. With all period-veneered furniture, care is needed in dusting and polishing, lest a dust rag could catch on a crack in the veneer, thereby pulling off a chip. The chest is worth $425 in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market, and would sell readily for that at a shop or auction. Before the recent economic downturn, the price would have been a third greater. As Empire chests go, this one is a good, if not exceptional, example of its genre. The exceptional ones continue to dominate the market, bringing high prices that show no effect from recent economic conditions.

Feral hogs can do great damage to nature Mark Fike Readers of this column know I love to hunt. My friends know I am not a trophy hunter; I love to hunt for many reasons, but the trophy is not one of them. Conversely, I love to take home meat at the end of my hunt, if legally, humanely and ethically possible. Many years ago, I was offered an opportunity to take part in a feral hog hunt in Texas. The prospect of bringing home coolers full of meat made the decision easy. Our freezer is kept full of venison and small game and fish, but adding some free pork that was lean was appealing to me. I would be lying if I did not report that I thoroughly enjoyed the hunt. In fact, I have been on several other feral hog hunts and have been actively seeking to go more often, as well. After all, shooting feral hogs was a good thing. I got some free meat out of the deal, minus the cost of my license and ammunition, and a land- owner or farmer had one less hog to deal with. Feral hogs are incredibly destructive and can decimate a crop field in one night. My first trip to Texas made that very clear to me. I got to see firsthand how the feral hogs turned a slow-moving creek, that was fed from a small spring and bordered with lush vegetation, into a wallow of muck. Two nights later, my buddy and I were traveling via his ATV to a crop field on the ranch we were staying on, and I tapped his shoulder to ask what happened to the cornfield; it was destroyed. Part of it looked like it had been hit with a bomb, and the other part, a tornado. Taking down five
By the end of the conversation, I was pretty much convinced hunting feral hogs, while fun and enjoyable, is like putting an infected and dirtcovered Band-Aid on a gaping wound. It might temporarily slow down the problem, but in the end, it is only going to get in the way of the real efforts that might be successful and could even ruin any chance of solving the problem. hogs the next morning made me feel good about what I was doing. That perspective came into serious question a few weeks ago when I was talking to Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wildlife biologist Aaron Proctor. Proctor handles the King George area and is part of the agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feral hog task force. Our conversation about the hogs was quite long. I began the conversation thinking hunting feral hogs was a great way to reduce their numbers and limit damage to the habitat and farm fields. By the end of the conversation, I was pretty much convinced hunting feral hogs, while fun and enjoyable, is like putting an infected and dirt-covered Band-Aid on a gaping wound. It might temporarily slow down the problem, but in the end, it is only going to get in the way of the real efforts that might be successful and could even ruin any chance of solving the problem. What is the harm in hunting pigs? I asked the same thing. First of all, consider that at least 70 percent of the pig population must be killed every year to even break even against reproduc-

tion numbers. Hunting is very effective in controlling most animals, but feral pigs can reproduce or triple their population every 14 months under ideal conditions. Currently, many Southeastern states allow year-round day and night hunting of feral hogs. However, feral hogs are very smart and become conditioned quickly to hunting pressure and efforts. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind moving miles at a time to find food or leaving pressured areas temporarily. Once shot at or rousted, they avoid such conditions again at all costs. Meanwhile, their numbers continue to grow, and as hunters increase their numbers and efforts, the feral hogs learn faster. Keep in mind that feral hogs travel in groups, called sounders, which alert the whole group. So, when facing a sounder of 12 feral hogs, a hunter only needs to alarm one of them to blow the chance to shoot. Even if a hunter is able to shoot three of the 12 pigs, now the other nine are less likely to allow themselves to be in a similar situation again. Part 2 next week
Mark Fike killed five hogs in a matter of minutes during a hunt in Texas a few years ago.

Project Faith wants hearing to present $300K claim to county Phyllis Cook
Project Faith has asked the King George Board of Supervisors to schedule a date so it can present a claim for $300,110 against the county. The request was made in a two-page letter dated Sept. 15, accompanied by 19 pages of invoices, affidavits and a contract between Project Faith and its architect, Community Design Studio of Christiansburg. A figure of $300,000 was first floated in court documents filed Jan.
8 by the developer in its grounds of defense and counterclaim against the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breach of contract complaint, which was filed by the county in October 2013. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are reviewing the request,â&#x20AC;? said Joe Grzeika, chairman of the King George board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No decision has been made for a date, as yet.â&#x20AC;? There currently are two court cases regarding the dispute. A judge ruled at a Sept. 2 hearing to grant a timeout in the court proceedings to allow time for the claim and board hearing to take place, as required by state law,
prior to any appeal going forward. The developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawyer, Clark Leming, told the judge at that hearing he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t expect the claim to the supervisors to be successful and expected to be back in court to pursue the money. The county originally filed a breach of contract case against Project Faith for not meeting its Aug. 1, 2013, deadline to start construction on its facility on the 5.5-acre parcel of donated land off Route 3. Project Faith is sticking to its story, saying it was â&#x20AC;&#x153;circumstances beyond
its controlâ&#x20AC;? by the county, its officials, the Virginia Department of Transportation, The Journal newspaper and an appointee to the King George Social Services board for its failure to start building a facility to house social service agencies and non-profits by the deadline, a date it requested earlier in 2013, in return for an amended contractual deadline extension. Leming said Project Faith would have paid Community Design if â&#x20AC;&#x153;the county allowed the facilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s construction project to proceed.â&#x20AC;?
KGHS names assistant principal Phyllis Cook
Area divisions swapping staff
Mary Fisher has been appointed as an assistant principal at King George High School, ending her two-year stint as principal of Colonial Beach Elementary School. Fisher was OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d by the King George school board Sept. 22. She starts Oct. 6 at a salary of $73,330. Fisher Her husband, Alex Fisher, is the divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s athletic director. She is filling the vacancy left by last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s promotion of Jennifer Collins to King George Middle School principal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the right move for her family,â&#x20AC;? said Colonial Beach Superintendent Kevin Newman.
Yes, there have been a few hires and resignations back and forth between the two divisions, with Mary Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being the third one in the last two months. When Jennifer Collins was reassigned as King George Middle School principal in August, it was because the position had been vacated by Kevin Newman, who resigned in King George to return to Colonial Beach as its superintendent. Newman previously had been principal of Colonial Beach Elementary School from 2006-11, when he left to take the helm at King George Middle School. Newmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaving King George coincided with King George High School science teacher Jennifer Grigsbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resignation in late July. Grigsby left to become Colonial Beach High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s principal. Tricia Williams, academic support coordinator, will act as interim principal at Colonial Beach Elementary School, Newman said. Tim Trivett, Colonial Beach School Board chairman, praised Fisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work during a critical time in the divisionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary has done an outstanding job with a steady hand of keeping conti-
nuity between students, parents and staff during the past six months, when we have been through many difficult decisions that have had an impact on our school division,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her expertise and can-do attitude will be missed.â&#x20AC;? Fisher said she will miss her Colonial Beach elementary families, and especially the students, but also was
looking forward to the new job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am very excited to start this next phase of my career,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As my husband is the AD at KGHS, and my children are former and current students in King George, I am familiar with the division, their goals and their commitment to students.â&#x20AC;? Fisher was selected from among 12 applicants for the position. Prior to her current experience as a principal, she was an assistant administrator/administrative intern for a year at George Washington Middle School in Alexandria City Public Schools, following four years as director of school counseling at Battlefield Middle School in Spotsylvania, from 2007-11, where she had been a school counselor for a year prior. Before her administrative work and counseling, Fisher taught for about seven years, including five years at Colonial Beach Elementary School. Linda Farneth contributed to this report.

King George man gets 24 years in prison RICHMOND â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Cameron Scot Bivins-Breeden, 21, of King George County was sentenced Sept. 25 to 24 years in prison, followed by a life term of supervised release, for using Facebook to entice and attempt to entice 38 minor victims to produce sexually explicit photographs of themselves and send to him over the Internet.
In multiple instances, BivinsBreeden used the threat of sending the sexually explicit images to friends and family of the victims to extort additional pictures from the victims, officials said. Bivins-Breeden pled guilty June 23 to one count of production of child pornography and one count of enticement of a minor.Â
Bivins-Breeden admitted he contacted 38 juvenile females across the country, ranging in age from 11-17, via Facebook. Posing as a juvenile female, he enticed or attempted to entice them to send him sexually explicit pictures of themselves. When the victims refused to produce additional images for him, Bivins-Breeden
threatened to send the previously obtained images to the victimsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; friends, family, and schoolmates on Facebook. In total, Bivins-Breeden admitted to sending 95 child pornography images in an effort to convince victims he was, in fact, a juvenile female and caused victims to produce 45 child pornography images.

Fracking from page 1 â&#x20AC;&#x153;I agree the environmental impact analysis document is not open for comment here,â&#x20AC;? Jutta Schneider said, the environmental agencyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s representative. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we are reviewing it and will take any suggestions under advisement.â&#x20AC;? Gregory urged for more financial assurance for drilling incidents resulting in water pollution. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The complaint history provided typically addresses individual streams, lakes and ponds and, when it has occurred, the operator has addressed the problems,â&#x20AC;? Gregory said, adding this area is different. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In places like King George, not only do individuals get their water from private wells, but also all water
from the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Service Authority comes from municipal wells, so hundreds of families could be impacted.â&#x20AC;? Bruce Prather of the Virginia Gas and Oil Board appeared to agree. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can appreciate that,â&#x20AC;? Prather said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because you actually have an aquifer here,â&#x20AC;? Skiffington said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we will take note of the request for additional financial assurance.â&#x20AC;? The meeting drew about 45 attendees, including several from King George, including Travis Quesenberry, county administrator, Linwood Thomas, director of economic development and Ruby Brabo, Dahlgren supervisor.
