once again, fall festival a bright spot
Group seeks home help Area Habitat for Humanity looking for available land Phyllis Cook
Poor weather can’t dampen event’s spirit By: Stephanie Avery The gray sky set the perfect contrast to the bright fall colors of the 56th annual King George Fall Festival. Numerous spectators lined the street of downtown King George Oct. 11 with festive anticipation. “I have never missed a parade,” said longtime resident Marilyn Tolliver-Johnson. “My parents brought me every year, and since I could drive, I’ve been taking myself.” A range of government officials
marched along with pageant contestants during the parade, the highlight of the event. “I’ve been in the parade twice, but it was different this year, because as a contestant, the attention is all on you,” said pageant contestant Elikah Willis. The parade also featured myriad entrants, from firetrucks to a troop of energetic Zumba dancers. “The floats have to be flashy to See FESTIVAL, page 4

Committee eyes county Internet expansion Phyllis Cook Members of a new King George technology advisory committee will have their first meeting at 6 p.m. Oct. 20 in the boardroom of the Revercomb Administration Building. The meeting will be attended by two members of the county’s staff — Chris Dines, manager of the county’s information technology department,
and Rhonda Smith, the sheriff ’s communications assistant director — to answer questions or concerns from members. It’s been a long time coming. The idea for the committee was sparked last year, after some residents who live in sparsely populated areas asked county officials if they could help get them access to affordable broadband Internet.
County Supervisor Dale Sisson encouraged the formation of the advisory panel to look at broadband issues, as well as addressing other concerns residents had about technology. The group’s purpose is “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.” Some of those who addressed the supervisors also formed a small group 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 when the county’s committee begins. That’s likely to happen, because there
is overlap in the membership of the two groups. The committee’s 10 members — appointed by the board with each supervisor nominating individuals — are Jack Bernardes, Cathy Binder, Lyle Brown, Thad Dobbert, Michael Knutson, Dale Robertson, Dee Straus, Jonathan Usher, Al Ventura and Tony Zilic. Each will serve a one-year term, and meetings are open to the public.

The Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity is seeking properties in King George on which to build homes. Thomas Carlson, executive director of the faith-based nonprofit organization, addressed the King George Board of Supervisors on the subject Oct. 7. He said the group has been building about one home per year. It hopes to boost the total with a new vision to build 20 homes by 2020 in its coverage area of Fredericksburg, Stafford, Spotsylvania and King George with a priority to provide homes for police/ deputies, firefighters/EMTs, teachers and veterans. “Land is the most expensive component when building a home,” Carlson said. Carlson said his group is in negotiations to get land owned by Catholics for Housing. “They did all the engineering studies and plans but didn’t do anything with it. So it sits there,” he said. He said they hope to obtain the property, which is adjacent to Presidential Village Townhomes, with Habitat to build some of the houses and others to be constructed by a commercial builder. “If we can successfully negotiate that package, we will build the 14 townhomes to go there and will honor the proffer to build for police, deputies, EMTs, firefighters, teachers,” Carlson said. “But I would ask the board of supervisors to also allow us to add veterans, as well. We would like to bring affordable housing to all of those folks.” Habitat is happy to accept donated land, and Carlson said he also is working with state legislators, including the speaker of the House of Delegates, to see if a mechanism can be inserted into state law to provide the ability for localities to “forgive” delinquent tax bills for non-resident owners of condemned or blighted property, in exchange for its donation to Habitat or another non-profit housing developer. Carlson said that action is permitted in some other states. Supervisor chairman Joe Grzeika See habitat, page 4

1st Annual “Save the Potomac� golf tournament
Is it an Inchworm or a cankerworm?
CHRISTMAS TOUR
To be held on October 27 and sponsored by the Fairview Beach Resident Association at Lee’s Hill Golf Club of Fredericksburg, Va. 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 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. Please visit www.Fairviewbeach.org for information and forms concerning sponsorship.
Did you have inchworms eating your oaks, maples, beech trees and dogwoods this spring? They are fall cankerworms, and to protect your trees, the recommendation is using a barrier to prevent the females from crawling up and laying eggs.

Weather permitting, there will be a demonstration of tree banding. If you would like to attend, please call (540) 775-3062 and register for this free program.

Woman’s experience shows hope exists after rape Phyllis Cook Most people don’t want to talk about rape. Debbie Smith is not most people. Smith travels around the country with her husband, Robert, to talk about her experience as a victim of rape. Smith was kidnapped by a masked attacker in 1989, while her police officer husband slept upstairs in their Williamsburg home. She was dragged into
the woods and raped, then threatened by the rapist never to tell, or he’d come back. But she did tell. For years, Smith’s fear of her unknown attacker returning was paralyzing. During the first few years, she was suicidal, some days looking for a new house to move to and other days feeling furious at her attacker for the effect he had on her and her family, and refusing to move.

Appalachian Cherokees open museum and culture center Crouch said a significant number of these are near the Potomac River. “We want our people to be inspired and to be able to learn about their heritage,” Crouch said, adding that the tribe has established an outreach program to help communities and schools in the area learn about them, their history and culture. The museum and culture center has a wide variety of Indian art, tools, weapons and regalia, including bows and arrows, pottery, blankets, jewelry and other items created by Cherokee craftsmen. “We have always been people who lived off and respected the land,” Crouch said. “We believe that the Creator gave us Grandfather Sky and Grandmother Earth, and that all creatures were placed here for a reason.” There are 11 Indian tribes officially recognized today by the State of Virginia, but the Appalachian
Richard Leggitt The Appalachian Cherokee Nation, one of the largest non-federally recognized Indian tribes in the United States, has opened a museum and culture center in Westmoreland County, so tribe members, residents and school children can learn about the tribe’s history, traditions and regalia. “We have found there are a number of our people in Westmoreland and King George counties,” said Chief Marshall (Lone Wolf) Crouch. The museum and culture center is at 15381 Kings Highway, in Montross. It will be open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays from March through November and features tribal artifacts and history of the Appalachian Cherokees. The tribe traces its Virginia history to 1721. Currently, there are tribe members residing in 14 states, and

There was even a performance by the Washington Redskins’ marching band. “The population of King George opens their hearts to us,” said Tony Cardenas, a member of the band. Besides the parade, the festival was a chance for area residents to mingle and partake of various foods, music and vendors. The smell of hot dogs and sausage links cooking on the grill was complemented by the smell of a variety of Hispanic cuisine options.

HABITAT from page 1 agreed it likely couldn’t happen here without a provision in state law. “It’s good you’re working with Speaker Bill Howell, because I do believe there will be legislation required if this is going to happen in Virginia,” he said Carlson said Habitat’s eligibility requirement is for workforce families who don’t make more than 50 percent of the average median income in the area. “I don’t know exactly what that is for King George County and with the deputies and firefighters, but in all the other jurisdictions, they don’t come
close to 50 percent of average median income,” Carlson said. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the current median household income for King George is $82,195. “There’s a tremendous need for affordable housing,” Carlson said. “Our mission is to provide affordable, safe, decent places for workforce families needing them. We call it giving people a hand up, not a handout.” Carlson said when a home is built, the eligible partner-family pays back the total cost with a 30-year mortgage at 0 percent.
Cherokees are not among them, although Crouch said the tribe is working toward that goal. The Appalachian Cherokees and the Cherokee tribe in general have a long, and at times, tragic history. In the early 1900s, Virginia engaged in a systematic effort to eliminate all references to Indian heritage from birth certificates in the state. In the 1820s, more than 16,000 Cherokees from several Southeastern states, including Virginia, were rounded up by the government and force to march to Oklahoma. Thousands died along the way in a sad episode of history that has become known as “The Trail of Tears.” Crouch hopes the new museum and culture center can help bring about a better understanding of the Cherokees and their heritage. “We are a proud, indigenous people with great respect and honor,” Crouch said. “We look forward to making new friendships and renewing old ones.”

Tourism spending approved by county The King George Board of Supervisors approved an $89,000 budget for tourism for the current fiscal year at its Oct. 7 meeting. The money comes from a 5
percent lodging tax, with 3 percent of that earmarked exclusively to promote tourism. Linwood Thomas, the county’s director of economic development, also provided a draft tourism mission statement: “To support the existing tourism-related activities
in King George County; and, to insure that proceeds raised from the transient occupancy tax are used to support tourism-related initiatives that will provide economic benefits to the county while continuing to preserve the county’s rural characteristics.”
In addition, he reported on an idea for tourism and destination map, saying it had, so far, elicited little interest with businesses. Thomas also was tasked to develop his idea for the provision of matching grants for tourism-related projects/businesses in future years.

Eagles win battle of unbeatens Eighth-grader Richard Leggitt Washington & Lee’s unbeaten Eagles won their sixth in a row Friday, downing previously unbeaten Lancaster in Montross. The game had been billed as a contest between two of Eagles the Northern Neck District’s top teams, but it wasn’t close. Playing in a steady Red Devils rain, W&L teamed its fast-paced, highoctane, no-huddle offense with a powerful pressing defense and stellar special teams’ play to secure the victory in its homecoming game. The Eagles are the top-rated 1A team in the state. “We played as a team,” said Coach Todd Jones. “That is something we have been talking to the kids about. We got good play from the offense, defense and special teams.” “We’re not satisfied,” he added. “There is a lot more work to be done, but we’re getting there.” Jones’ modified wing T offense pounded the Red Devils while the defense recovered two fumbles

Powerful senior running back quarterback Taylor Woodlard twice. “I’m very impressed with both Marion Pollard scored in the second lines,” Jones said. “The offensive line quarter on a 68-yard run down the was opening holes, and the defensive right sideline. The Eagles missed the line was getting pressure all night point after but took a 13-0 lead at against a pretty good football team,” halftime. Pollard had 119 yards on Jones said. “The defense was flying eight carries for the night. Swift and shifty senior running to the football. The defensive line owned the line of scrimmage, and back Dexter Thompson, who spent the night twisting and spinning the secondary did a good job.” The Eagles opened the scoring with through Red Devil defenders for 150 a 10-yard first quarter scamper by yards on 10 carries, scored the next junior running back Ramani Goode. three touchdowns on runs of 10, 32 Goode scored two touchdowns on and 53 yards. Thompson also ran for the night and had 52 yards on three a two-point conversion in the third
quarter. Jacob Daiger kicked a 29-yard field goal and four PATs, and Goode added the final touchdown on a 19yard run. Leading the defense, senior linebacker Jeremy Turned had six tackles, an interception, a deflected pass and a quarterback hurry. Linwood Newman, also a senior linebacker, had four tackles and an interception, and senior defensive lineman Markeyse Thompson had seven tackles, a quarterback hurry and a fumble recovery. Adding to Lancaster’s night of misery, junior defensive back Cullen Bell also recovered a fumble, senior defensive lineman TreQuan Bell caused a fumble and registered a sack, and senior defensive lineman Gabe Loesel had five tackles. “The defense is a solid bunch,” said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis. “We figured they were going to be strong coming into the season, and that’s the way it has worked out.” The Eagles still have district games remaining against Northumberland this week and then Rappahannock, Essex and Colonial Beach.
Yellow Jackets’ second half stings Foxes Leonard Banks Sports Editor Last year’s dramatic last-minute 21-16 varsity football win versus James Monroe ended a 10-year Yellow Jacket streak. However, the rivalry between the former Battlefield Division foes had an entirely different turn of events Oct. 10. Instead of a game that hinged on the final possession, the Yellow Jackets dominated the second half (33 unanswered points) in their victory. The non-conference loss set the Foxes back with a record of 2-4,
while the Yellow Jackets improved to 5-1. While the Foxes continue to have a slim chance Foxes of advancing to postseason play, their coaching staff will have to pull a rabbit out of their hat to make that happen, especially with just four games remaining in the season. Also, adding insult to injury, the Foxes were without the services of their star running back, Jecolby White. White injured his ankle in practice during the recent bye week. Yellow Jackets

After a defensive first quarter stalemate, Vincent Smith and Vincent Eura scored on one-yard and 42-yard touchdown runs, respectively. The Foxes managed to answer with a two-yard run from Rodney Richards, who filled in for White. Later in the quarter, the Yellow Jackets and Foxes exchanged scores with a Eura 36-yard touchdown run and a Will Clift one-yard touchdown burst to complete the scoring for the first half, with James Monroe leading 21-14. In the second half, the Yellow Jackets’ offense was unstoppable. At the start of the third quarter, Eura’s
74-run set up a 24-yard touchdown reception to Kendrick Wilkins from Jay Scroggins. With less than nine minutes left in the third quarter, the Yellow Jackets extended their lead to 41-14 as Eura intercepted a pass and ran it back for an 85-yard touchdown. The Yellow Jackets started the fourth quarter with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Lawrence from Scroggins. Later in the quarter, with time running out, Smith scored the game’s final touchdown on a oneyard run. On Oct. 17, the Foxes will travel to play Spotsylvania at 7 p.m.

A 13-year-old Westmoreland County eighth-grader named Jenifer Broglin is a budding star for the very competitive Washington & Lee cross-country team. “Jenifer is a very determined young lady, especially when she runs,” said Cindy Flickinger, the W&L girls’ cross-country coach. Broglin – who has earned the celebrity nickname “JBro” from her coaches – finished first while competing against 28 high school girls from King William, Richmond County, W&L and Essex in a meet last week. It was her sixth win this year. “We’ve never had a girl, or a boy, win this many races in a season,” said Cole Vanover, the W&L boys’ cross-country coach. “Jenifer gets it. She knows what it takes to be successful. All she wants to do is get better.” “Running is my life,” said Broglin, who flashes a wide smile as she uses her natural running gait to cover ground quickly with her arms pumping and her long hair blowing in the wind. “She can be a national class runner in the future if she keeps doing the right things,” said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis. W&L, a top cross-country school, knows about ranked girls’ cross- country athletes. Current senior Kathryn Beddoo won the state championship as a junior last year with an 800-meter time of 2:21.66 and finished fourth in the 400 meter at the state meet with a time of 1:01.21. Beddoo, the team’s captain, has been challenged with a hip injury this year. The team also is paced by junior Emma Oliver and sophomores Carrie Minor and Claire Whitman.

Jenifer Broglin has won six races so far this season. “She (Broglin) has quite a future in running if all goes well, and if she wants to do it, and right now, she certainly wants to,” Flickinger said. “She is able to keep pace with the boys on days we do workouts, and she never slacks, even if tired.” If Broglin wants incentives to help her reach her goals, besides tracking Beddoo, she can monitor Vanover’s team, which is highly regarded. The boys’ team is led by seniors Jacob Daiger and Zach Bowen, the team’s co-captains, and junior Hasan Gill. Last year, only Gill’s second season running cross-country, he finished eighth in the mile and 28th in crosscountry at the state championships. “Hasan is quiet, but he’s a worker,” Vanover said. “He’s a gifted runner who has come into his own as a leader of the team.”

Balanced Drifters blow past Raiders Leonard Banks Sports Editor On Oct. 9, the long-awaited conference showdown between the no-nonsense defense of the visiting Rappahannock Raiders and the balanced attack of the Colonial Beach Drifters was put to the test. The end result was a shutout. Prior to the game, both teams were tied with a record of 4-1, and in third place in the 1A Conference 43 standings. Drifters At halftime, the game clearly was in the books, as the Drifters led 30-0. There were no visible signs of ofRaiders fensive life from the Raiders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The game is probably our most dominating performance of the season,â&#x20AC;? Driftersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach Scott Foster said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We preached all week- when two 4-1 teams meet, you better show up and play.â&#x20AC;? The Colonial Beach offense, led by Lamar Lucas (14 carries for 74 yards), dominated the Raiders, even though they only had 205 yards, in part due to 144 yards in penalty yards by Rappahannock. The Drifters celebrated Breast Cancer Awareness Night with their sideline cheerleaders dressed in pink, and the opening coin toss by breast cancer survivor, Monica Fortune. Fortune is the mother of linebacker/fullback, Dezâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;John Parker. She has been cancer-free for nine years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always play for my mom,â&#x20AC;? Parker said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to come out to see her and feel her support.â&#x20AC;? Using the single-wing attack, the Drifters quickly set the tone with a 62-yard drive capped by a Lucas one-yard touchdownrun. The touchdown was set up by an Andria Turner nine-yard run. Later in the first quarter, Turner set up the Driftersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second score with a 27-yard

The Colonial Beach defense swarmed all over the Rappahannock Raiders, holding them to just 104 yards. interception that ended on the Raiders 40-yard line. Carter Foster finished the drive with a one-yard touchdown plunge. In the second quarter, a Drifter penalty and Jaquan Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20-yard run to the two-yard line gave the appearance that the Raiders finally found their rhythm; however, an unsportsman-like penalty canceled Thompsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s run, pushing the Raiders back to the 17 yard line. After the Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; drive stalled due to a missed 24yard field goal, the Drifters had a turnover
of their own. The fumble quickly was countered by an interception from Colonial Beach cornerback Alonzo Turner. During the ensuing Colonial Beach drive, Lucas completed a 29-yard touchdown pass to Michael Mothershead. Forced into a passing game, and behind 22-0, the Raiders promptly turned the ball over again on the next possession. With 1:50 to play in the half, Parker intercepted a Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; pass. Parkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effort was reward-
ed with a Lucas one-yard touchdown run. Parker capped the drive with two-point conversion pass reception from Andria Turner. During the opening drive of the third quarter, Lucas scored the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s final touchdown on a 40-yard run, up the middle. On Friday, the Drifters will travel to the unfriendly confines of Essex. The outcome could potentially place the Drifters in third place.
King George High School freshman Aubrey Wingeart finished with a time of 23.13 as she led the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cross-country team to a win versus Chancellor. Charger Madelyn Amos was the overall winner with a time of 22:32. The Foxes hosted the meet Oct. 8. As for the boys, Chancellor dominated the field with a 40-19 win, which included seven Charger runners finishing in the top 10. Charger Neil Schubel was the overall winner with a time of 19:45, while The Foxesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Christian Koon finished second with a time of 20:06. On Oct. 10, King George competed with a depleted team of runners in the Albemarle Invitational.

Rivermen win league title KGYAA football teams have successful weekend Staff report Northern Neck Riverman running back Mike Vannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s five-yard touchdown run with six minutes left in the fourth quarter proved to be the game winner, as the King George-based team won the Mason Dixon Football League Conference Championship. The game took place Oct. 11 at Brooke Point High School.
The 14-7 victory versus Arbutis was the third time King George defeated the Big Red this season. The Rivermen scored first during its opening drive as Mike Howardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 25yard reception from Walt Covington put them ahead 7-0. The Rivermen (11-1) advanced to the Oct. 25 MSFL Championship against the Virginia Crusaders (120). The location and time will be announced at a later date.
Inclement weather this past Saturday unfortunately prompted the King George Youth Athletic Association to cancel its participation in the annual Fall Festival parade, but the weather did not prevent its teams from playing a handful of tackle and flag football games that afternoon. The Varsity Mavericks (ages 1113) journeyed to Northumberland High School to face Essex County,
remaining undefeated on the season (5-0), following an impressive 54-18 victory. There were two Rookie tackle football division (ages 6-8) games, with the Pride (4-1) facing the Rattlers (1-4), and the River Hawks (3-2) facing the Pirates. In the first game, the Pride downed the Rattlers, 12-7, while the River Hawks prevailed against the Rattlers, 14-8. In the Potomac flag football

Take advantage of late-season fishing This is the time of year when being an outdoorsman is really tough. There simply are too many options from which to choose and never enough time to enjoy all of them. For instance, this past weekend was the early season for duck hunting. The early season lasts just a few days, and it is over in midNovember. However, archery season is now in for deer and turkey, and there are many of us that would love to put up meat early or enjoy getting our Thanksgiving turkey now, while we have the chance. Turkey numbers seem to be quite good this year. If those options were not enough, consider the hot bite on Lake Anna for striper and the improving crappie bite. The Chesapeake Bay fishing has been quite good the last month or so, and the bluefish have peaked and probably are headed south. Some of us would love to get just a dozen more of the fattest ones to put in the smoker or make bluefish salad. Rockfish are coming on strong now, too. It has to come down to priorities- I prefer to get my chores done as soon as possible; not the house chores, but the fishing and hunting ones as evidenced by the horrific pile of junk covering my desk and the lawn edges that need to be trimmed. While I normally spend my free time in October trying to arrow a few deer to feed the family for the rest of the year, I thought back to last January, when I craved some fish to replace the regular diet of venison we were getting. I am bound and determined to sneak out on a few of the days that are less likely to be good deer hunting days and wet a line. Here is a rundown on where you

the crappie bite. Motts Run Reservoir reports few anglers are out and about, but those that are, find small bass aplenty. Saltwater: The saltwater fishing is slowing down for the summer species. Some flounder remain, but most are moving out. A few cobia are on the oceanfront. Speckled trout fishing is quite good in the Lower Bay inlets. Spot are hitting well. Bottom fishing for croaker is productive. Rockfish are starting to pick up some. Bluefish are hitting all over. Some red drum are still hanging around structure in the Middle Bay and providing fun on light tackle. Look for the bite to turn to mainly rockfish soon.
Hunting season has been very spotty for deer hunters. There is some mast in some areas, but other areas are totally devoid of acorns. Look for deer to begin becoming more active in the next few weeks as the rut approaches. There appear to be plenty of turkey wandering around. Look for scratchings, and start scouting now.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised if for the fall blitz of fishing this year: you catch two fish at once if the feeding Lake Anna striped bass frenzy is strong. The striped bass bite is improving quite a bit.

Although many of the Bayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s summer residents are leaving, some are still around for a few more weeks. Look for yellow bellies to be available on a day trip to the Lower Bay. Fish with bloodworms or Fishbites. Some golden-bellied croaker are biting around Gloucester and points south. Perhaps the most sought-after fish is the rockfish. After waiting for what seems a long time, they are showing up in both size and numbers now. Some Potomac River anglers are getting into some decent fish, and the Bay is giving up fish that are chunky. The end of the month and November look to be great times to get out there to catch them. Most anglers start to troll for the larger rockfish in November. Once that begins, the best lures to use include umbrellas and parachute rigs. Depending on the depth you are marking fish on your fish finder will determine how large a jig you need. A slow troll with several rods dragging several sizes and colors of rigs is effective. However, there still is a great chum bite to be had for both large bluefish and perfect filet-size rockfish. Find a structure, such as bottom anomalies or rockpiles, and anchor up to start putting bait overboard. The fall fishing is really good and will most likely get better through November. Take a day out of the tree stand and put some fish in the freezer. You will be glad you did in the middle of winter when you are wishing summer would hurry up and get here.
Fishing Rappahannock River: Reports from bass anglers tell us the bite was decent until we got the rain; then the bite was poor. There are some catfish being caught, and that is normal through November. Use cut bait or perch for the best bite. Rockfish are biting well now and will take jigs, bucktails and live bait. Potomac River: Donna at Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tackle reported the rockfish bite has been quite good on topwater on the Maryland side. Some anglers are finding big chartreusecolored crankbaits are the best lures to use. Bass are hitting over the grass mats on crayfish-colored plastics and cranks. Inland waters: Ponds are turning on for crappie and bass. The fall bite is starting to pick up. A few more straight cool nights ought to ramp up

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS
Ethics reform shouldn’t be this difficult
For decades, no one really worried about ethics in Richmond. Not when it came to the members of the House of Delegates, not for members of the Senate, and not for the governor. For ages, while ethical lapses abounded, in Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, David S. Kerr not to mention a dozen other states, Virginia stood alone as being squeaky clean. That was then, and now, in the 21st century, some of the sleaze that’s long
since infected the politics of other states has found its way to Virginia. However, while ethics reform provokes endless debate, the remedy just isn’t that complicated. The most visible evidence of this sleaze factor was the conviction former Gov. Robert McDonnell. There also has been at least one conviction of a former member of the House and there is an ongoing federal investigation regarding the resignation of State Sen. Phillip Pucket. Richmond’s reputation, long nurtured by generations of Virginia politicians, is tarnished. According to a Center for Government Accountability study, which graded each state on ethics and transparency, Virginia gets an F. Not even a D+. Even the federal
It’s simple, no more gifts, save perhaps for the occasional lunch and any trips, for information gathering and the like will be at state expense and be fully reported. As for stocks and corporate interests, these should be reported to the penny and either members should abstain from votes where they have a financial conflict of interest or sell the stock.
government, gets a better grade. Something is desperately wrong here. Surprisingly that hasn’t led to any rush to reform the system. Rather, if the last session of the General Assembly is any guide, they’re doing their best to push it all under the rug. However, that changed after McDonnell’s conviction. Gov.
Terry McAuliffe announced the formation of a commission to look at ethics in Richmond and make recommendations. Both sides promised to participate. Thing is, I’ve heard this before. Developing good ethical standards and rules shouldn’t be this hard. The rules don’t have to be complex, they

just have to be clear. Right now, the system is fluid and the prohibitions few. As for reporting financial interests, this is wide open. Reports are made using ranges that make it extremely difficult to tell whether a member owns a small or a large interest in a particular stock or partnership. Amazingly, there is no real prohibition at all in engaging in some modest conflict of interest. In fact, very little is prohibited. That’s one of the reasons some have argued that McDonnell might actually be innocent. It’s not clear there are any laws on the books, at least in Virginia, that he might have violated. A gift from Johnnie Williams, or anyone else for that matter, is perfectly legal. But, that’s another story. What it comes down to is making
simple rules and following them. It’s a change in the culture, the members are sure to resist it, but if there is going to be reform, it has to happen. The prescription is straightforward. I don’t understand why it takes a special commission to figure it. It’s simple, no more gifts, save perhaps for the occasional lunch and any trips, for information gathering and the like will be at state expense and be fully reported. As for stocks and corporate interests, these should be reported to the penny and either members should abstain from votes where they have a financial conflict of interest or sell the stock. I am not a lawyer, but it’s seems a straight forward answer to me.
Letters to the Editor Grateful that Warner backed Alzheimer’s bill To the Editor: As an ambassador for the Alzheimer’s Association, I would like to thank Sen. Mark Warner for co-sponsoring the Alzheimer’s Accountability Act (H.R. 4351/S. 2192), which authorizes the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to submit a Professional Judgment Budget to Congress justifying funding for critical Alzheimer’s research. Currently, more than 5 million Americans (including 130,000 Virginians) are living with Alzheimer’s, the most expensive disease in the nation. More expensive than cancer and heart disease. Yet, only 1.7% of NIH’s budget goes toward research on this devastating disease. Women are at the epicenter of the Alzheimer’s epidemic. According to the Alzheimer’s Association Women and Alzheimer’s Poll, women are almost two-thirds of all Americans with Alzheimer’s and comprise 60 percent of the unpaid caregivers for family members and friends with Alzheimer’s. That means there are 10 million women who either have Alzheimer’s or are caring for someone with the disease. I am one of the 10 million. My husband and I have multiple parents who suffer with this devastating disease. It can happen to you. Think about this: in her 60s, a woman’s estimated lifetime risk for developing Alzheimer’s is 1 in 6. For breast cancer it is 1 in 11. The U.S. has a National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease with a goal of preventing and effectively treating Alzheimer’s by 2025, but adequate funding is required to meet that goal. Congress needs to hear about the most promising opportunities and funding needs directly from NIH scientists. To learn how you can join the fight against Alzheimer’s, visit alz.org. MaryAnne Sterling
opportunities for those struggling. Every advantage (i.e. bailouts for the financial institutions, and tax breaks for corporations that move overseas, etc.) has been upheld by the Republican majority in the House of Representatives. For these reasons, backed by my strong faith in just and a merciful God, I am voting for Sen. Mark Warner for the Senate, and Norm Mosher for Congress in hopes of turning the devastating tide of destructive policies in our government. We need a change in Congress. We need a Congress that will work for the good of the country. Let’s give the Democrats a majority to see if they will work for the good of all citizens not just the top 1 percent. As Christians, we need to discern between what is truth and what are lies being told over and over so many times that they appear as truth. Making your decision on how to cast your vote based purely on one issue alone is not good citizenship. An even larger issue is created if you don’t vote because you are letting others decide the fate of your country.

Democrats deserve you support this fall To the Editor: It amazes me, as a Christian, how one can vote for any Republican who opposes help for the disadvantaged. For the past few years, bills such as raising the minimum wage, allowing students to renegotiate their loans to a lower rate (as housing loans are permitted), providing a way to citizenship for the 13 million immigrants, and creating a fair tax system where the rich and corporations pay their fair share, have been blocked by Republicans in Congress. In Virginia, Republicans have refused to allow 400,000 citizens to obtain health care as if money were more important than a sick child’s life. This is not the Christian way. Moving out of poverty by hard work, determination, and playing by the rules, is often thwarted by laws that favor the rich. As I follow the current Congress, which has done nothing to help the ordinary citizen, I am amazed they still can take home their pay and enjoy the best health care, when they have done nothing to help the country. They continue to deny

New command unit unveiled King George’s new Mobile Command Unit was unveiled last week prior to its first use for the King George Fall Festival and in neighboring Colonial Beach for its Bike Fest. “This mobile command will be used on large-scale events that will require the on-scene management of personnel and resources. The command relieves the pressure and the volume of communication going through our 911 center,” Sheriff Steve Dempsey said. The 1996 vehicle was obtained free from the federal government as surplus from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The unit will be used for long-duration fires, search-and-rescue missions, hazardous materials incidents and weather-related events. “This mobile command unit will be a significant asset to both Fire & Rescue and the Sheriff’s Office for years to come,” said David Moody, chief of King George’s Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services. Pictured from left to right are King George County Sheriff’s Department Capt. Chris Giles, Supervisors Dale Sisson, Jim Howard and Joe Grzeika, and County Sheriff’s Department Lt. Kevin Brandts.
