W&L making maximum effort on security New principal has made it a top priority Richard Leggitt When Gov. Terry McAuliffe recently awarded $8,800 to Washington & Lee High School as part of a $6 million statewide effort to improve school security in Virginia, the additional

money was a godsend for W&L’s new principal Dashan Turner. Turner, on the job just three months, has made upgrading security at the Westmoreland County high school one of his priorities. “We are going to protect our kids,” Turner said. Under his watch, new high definition cameras are being installed on the W&L campus, along with a buzzer system to control access to the school building. Turner’s changes in security, along with his efforts to increase

communications between teachers, students and parents and his determination to improve the learning environment at W&L have brought about a night-and-day change at the school, which struggled with disruptions and distractions under his precedessor. “We’re having a great start,” Turner said. “The kids are onboard, the parents are onboard, and we are determined to keep the ship in the water. Everyone has bought into that.” In an effort to help parents under-

stand the expectations Turner and his staff have for W&L, the new principal has begun sending out a newsletter to parents outlining Turner Turner’s goals for school security, a zero tolerance for bullying, strict rules on cell phone usage and attendance and implementing a dress code for Washington &

Lee students. “The teachers are doing a good job, and student behavior this year, for the majority of our student population has been nothing short of awesome,” Turner said. “I haven’t done anything that any good administrator would not do.” Turner’s attitude and his improvements are getting dramatic results. The school’s hallways are calmer with fewer disruptions, and students that had transferred from W&L the last two years are reenrolling and return-

ing. “There is a lot better discipline,” said W&L junior Kayla French. “If you have a problem and you take it to him, he does something about it.” “And, he doesn’t play favorites,” said Andrea Young, also a junior. “That’s important in a small county.” “So many of the distractions are gone,” said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis. “Things are consistent, and there are consequences. See SECURITY, page 4

Elementary students move into new home Linda Farneth Faces were beaming, despite carrying heavy loads of boxes, chairs, desks and other school supplies after Colonial Beach Superintendent Kevin Newman got the all clear to start moving into the new elementary school mod pods. Students, teachers and other volunteers from the community helped move supplies Oct. 24 into the classrooms. “I’m extremely happy that this day has finally come. It’s been a long, long process,” Newman said. An aging infrastructure at the former elementary school campus at 315 Douglas Ave. became apparent almost four years ago. It was destroyed by a fire this past January, and students moved into the Oak Grove Baptist Church for the remainder of the 2013-14 school year. At the start of this school year, the students doubled up with the high school students at the First Street campus. “Walls haven’t defined what our school is; it’s the community that we’ve built,” said John Kramer, who has taught third grade in the district for several years. “We’ve put the kids through so much; their resiliency surprises me. They still love coming to school every day.” The new mod pods, located to the west of the high school will house

Still standing The Colonial Beach Town Council delayed any action on the possible demolition of the former elementary school while it waits to gather more information, Page 4 grades K-7. Prepared food will be brought to the elementary cafeteria from the high school, and the students will finally get their own library again. Kris Cox said her grandson, Nate, who is in first grade, exclaimed, “We’re going to have a room?” when he heard there will be a library in the new mod pods. “Before, the librarian had to come to each class, and students were not allowed to checkout books,” Cox said Outside in the parking area, second-grade teacher Alex Goshey said his students are very excited, and he believes they will feel like they finally have a home. Kramer said that despite all the moves the elementary school had to make in the last few years, including the half year spent at the church, they have “brought all of us closer together. I love it here, there is a strong sense of community, and everyone is looking out for each other.”

CB council candidates split on sharing services with county Town says plethora of write-ins

Linda Farneth The Colonial Beach Chamber of Commerce and the Colonial Beach Foundation hosted a candidates’ forum Oct 21 at the Colonial Beach Town Center. The idea of combining services, such as school, police, fire and rescue with the county was a main topic of the debate. Burkett Lyburn, James Chiarello, Michael Looney and D. Wayne DiRosario all were in favor of maintaining an independent police department. Linda Brubaker said she was more confident in the current police chief then in past ones. William Flammer echoed this support. “I haven’t always felt this way, but I absolutely think we should keep our police department,” he said. Edward Blunt said an independent police department is a huge deterrent to crime, because it would keep more officers in town. Kevin Stees, however, doesn’t believe switching power to the county would have any effect on the number of police in town. Looney, a former school board member, and DiRosario both support an independent school system rather than combining schools with the county.

Wayne DiRosario and Linda Brubaker, left to right, attended the Oct. 21 debate for Colonial Beach Town Council.. Lyburn also wants local school utonomy. “I will do everything to keep the schools independent. People paid a lot of money for the school to take it away from the citizens; I just can’t see it.” Flammer said if the students can be provided a better education while lowering taxes, then combining the divisions may be worthwhile. “I think every student in this

Beach deserves a top-quality education, but I don’t think raising the taxes for them to achieve that would help a lot of the citizens who are on fixed incomes for them to achieve that,” he said. Blunt sais he thinks the school system will stay independent, but the town deserves better results, citing low test scores. Stees and Brubaker said the ques-

tion should be put to referendum. None of the candidates staked out a definitive position on whether or not to combine the fire department and rescue squad into one building. While they all said it was a good idea, they said the the two groups should be consulted first. The forum can be viewed in its entirety at http://www.ustream.tv/ recorded/54302941

The Colonial Beach Town Council has seen many write-in candidates in the last six years. In the upcoming election, three seats are open for four-year terms and one special election to fill the remaining two years of Tim Curtin’s seat. So why do candidates run as writeins? Is it a campaign ploy or lack of preparation time? Do candidates simply make their minds up at the last minute based on who is running, or rather the lack of candidates? Bill Flammer said he ran as a writein due to circumstances beyond his control. Flammer said one mishap after another lead to him being unable to turn in all of his paperwork on time to get on the ballot. The school board has two vacant seats, but only one incumbent, Vicki Roberson, has come forward to run as a write-in. No candidates have made it onto the ballot. Roberson said when her term ended this year, she had planned to return to work in the Colonial Beach School System. However, town code prevents any school board member from working in the school for one year after being a board member. “However, after experiencing so

much after the past 10 months, I feel compelled to remain on this board since we have not finished the work that needs to be done from the devastating fire,.” she said, but her decision to run came too late to fulfill the obligations needed to be on the ballot. Westmoreland County Voter Registrar Kris Hicks said the school board has not had as many write-ins (since 2008) as the town council. Hicks said most candidates run as write-ins because they weren’t able to come to a decision prior to the filing deadline. Regardless of the reasons why they run as write-ins, Hicks said candidates who do not get on the ballot are always an issue, since “results must wait for the electoral board the day after to get an accurate count (and) because variations in the name could affect the outcome. “Regardless of how many write-ins are announced, the results will still be delayed,” she said.

Fifth graders from Colonial Beach create “historical” scarecrows Forty-five fifth grade Colonial Beach elementary students, working with members of the Colonial Beach Historical Society, had a great time on Friday, October 17, building scarecrows. The finished models are now on display outside the Museum located on the corner of Washington Ave. and Hawthorn St. for everyone to enjoy. A couple of the scarecrows will be moved to the Community Garden in the near future. After the scarecrows were finished, the children were then given a tour of the Museum and handed Halloween bags containing cookies and candy. All in all, this was a wonderful learning experience as well as a lot of fun. submitted by Colonial Beach Historical Society

Master Gardeners Team Takes Delivery of 200 Recycled Barrels Shown at left is the team of Master Gardeners and helpers, shown here in front of one of the caravan of vehicles and trailers they used to haul 200 rain barrels from Heathsville to a nearby storage location. To meet the continuing demand for rain barrels, the Northern Neck Master Gardeners took delivery of over 200 recycled 55-gallon plastic barrels on Monday Oct. 20,outside Heathsville unloading a tractor-trailer full of the barrels supplied by the non-profit group Clean VA Waterways. Fitted with the proper hardware, these will collect fresh water for use in the garden. Some of the barrels will be converted into composters that are “critter-proof ” and can be assembled by the gardener or homeowner without the use of tools. “We know where these recycled barrels came from, what they are made of and how they were used before,” explains Master Gardener Sharon Lemke.“The barrels are made of food-grade plastic and were previously used only to hold food. This provides assurance that they will not leach chemicals into stored water that could be harmful to plants.” Ready-made rain barrels and composters are available through Master Gardeners Edna Roberts at (804) 4384238 (jjeeroberts@verizon.net) and Sharon Lemke (salemke@wildblue.net) or the Northumberland Extension Office at (804) 580-5694. The Master Gardeners will be holding workshops for the public in 2015 to teach and assist people how to make their own rain barrels. The 2015 workshop schedule will be announced at a later date. www.nnmg.org.

Dahlgren Heritage Foundation to host German Christmas Market

DECA-KGHS 5K Run for “Some Gave All Foundation� is set for Veteran’s Day

The Dahlgren Heritage Foundation will crown their first Christkindl Queen at the German Christmas Market on Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Dahlgren Heritage Museum, 3540 James Madison Hwy., in King George. The German Christmas Market will be held on the museum grounds from 4 to 8 p.m. The Christkindl Queen will be crowned at 7:30 p.m. on the main stage. The queen will represent the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation at public events. The Market will feature festival foods & beverages: Oak Crest

DECA at King George High School (KGHS) is hosting a 5K Run and Kids’ 1-Mile Fun Run on Veteran’s Day, Tuesday, November 11, 2014 at the KGHS Cross-Country Track on the HS campus. Net proceeds will benefit the Some Gave All Foundation. The Some Gave All Foundation ensures the memories of Sergeant Joshua J. Frazier and Sergeant Nicholas C. Mason are not forgotten through service to local wounded veterans and an annual motorcycle rally. Both Mason and Frazier were killed in the line of duty while serving in Iraq. The Foundation also awards scholarships to local graduating seniors. Inspired by the military men and women that have unselfishly given their lives to their country, King George seniors Kristen Hornbaker and Ashley Perkins have set out to make their memories a point of honor. By organizing the first Some Gave All & Veteran’s Day 5K Run/Walk & Kids’ 1-Mile Race, the aforementioned two King George cross-country runners will complete their DECA project requirements. Two years ago, Fox cross-country runner and KGHS alumni Anna Kniceley, and Madison Madding organized a similar race with the funds targeted towards a different charity. The 2014 race will take place on November 11, at King George High School. Check-in time for the 5K is scheduled for 7:30 a.m., with the race set to begin at 8 a.m. The Kids’ 1-Mile race check-in time is 8:30 a.m., with the race beginning at 9 a.m. Thrilled at the opportunity to give back to her beloved community, Hornbaker said, “After my dad did the motorcycle ride (SGA Ride), and being a runner myself, I thought this project would be great way to give back to the community.� Currently, the two cross-country standouts are promoting the project throughout the King George area, while looking for sponsors. Currently the cost for sponsorship is $250 (T-shirts), and $300 for banners. Registration forms for the 5K and Kids’ 1-Mile are available at KGHS in the main office, Virginia Runner, and by emailing kgdeca5k@gmail.com. Entry fees are $20 for the 5K and $10 for the Kids’ 1-Mile. Check-in for the 5K is at 7:30 a.m. and at 8:30 a.m. for the Kids’ 1-Mile. Awards are at 9:30 a.m. Questions should be directed to Kristen Hornbaker, Ashley Perkins or Mrs. Dee Strauss at dstrauss@kgcs.k12.va.us or by calling (540) 775-3535 ext. 2103.

Winery will sell traditional Gluhwein, and Bavarian Chef will offer delectable German fare. There will be a festival of trees, live entertainment (featuring Anthony Campbell), crafts and more. Participating in the Festival of Trees are the county schools: KGHS, KGMS, SES, KGES, PES and Dahlgren School. For more information, email dahlgrenmuseuminfo@gmail. com or call (540) 846-3382. All proceeds from the pageant will benefit the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation.

CBVRS was well-represented at the convention with 22 members, including 10 juniors. The annual event features training seminars taught by regional medical directors, several EMS competitions and opportunities to network with other volunteer agencies and many EMS vendors. “The VAVRS’s mission is to promote and assist member rescue squads in improving pre-hospital care in Virginia,â€? said Wesley Melson, Rescue Chief for CBVRS. “The competition is fierce among the statewide squads, so we were honored and proud to be recognized in so many categories at the annual awards banquet, especially Rescue Call of the Year and Promotion of Safety.â€?

CB Town Council wants more details before razing school Linda Farneth The Colonial Beach Town Council once again has delayed the demolition of the burned-out former elementary school. The council passed a resolution at its Oct. 23 meeting, saying further investigation into an order by the town’s building and zoning department to demolish the building is needed. Councilman Gary Seeber said delaying action will give an engineer time to evaluate the building. Last month, the Colonial Beach Building and Zoning office notified the school board that the twostory building, burned in a Jan. 5 arson, was deemed hazardous and must be torn down by Oct. 26. The council ordered Town Manager Val Foulds to produce documentation regarding the validity of the demolition order. Foulds defended the action of

the building and zoning office, citing citizen complaints, safety concerns and unsafe conditions dating as far back as 2011. She added that the fire damage was the driving force behind the notice. The council said it reviewed the documents provided but were not satisfied. It also said it would conduct an investigation into the issuance of the violation notice, as soon as practical, at a special meeting where every member of the council is available to participate. No date was given for the meeting. “Part of putting this off, in my mind, is we have contacted an engineer who specializes in this kind of building problem,� Seeber said “He will, hopefully, be here sometime between now and our next meeting. We obviously don’t want the building to be torn down until he looks at it, but that’s a separate issue.�

SECURITY from page 1 And the kids are responding.� Turner, a former principal of Westmoreland County’s Washington District Elementary, was hired after former W&L principal Andrea Roane resigned in June. Roane was convicted of driving while intoxicated after a one-car traffic accident in a snowstorm last year, an incident that roiled a W&L campus already dealing with leadership and discipline problems. Turner came to the district from Petersburg, where he was director of schools, in charge of the nine schools in the system. Prior to Petersburg, Turner was the director of student services for the Essex County schools, and prior to that, he was at Washington District Elementary.

“I am truly excited to be back here,� said Turner, who with his wife, Candace, has four children, including 16-month-old twins. “I’m a family-first kind of guy. I am a good listener, and I care about the kids as a whole.� Turner said there still are additional changes he would like to make, including maintaining a Westmoreland County Sheriff ’s deputy on the campus full time and implementing additional strategies to provide students with increased opportunities for academic success. “This school has a lot of hardworking students. I want to be an advocate for each one,� Turner said. “I have kids come up to me and say, ‘Thank you,’ all the time. It is so rewarding.�

Beach hosts its first fall festival Linda Farneth

The First Annual Fall Festival turned out to be a big success, as a large crowd turned out for the event. This year, the Colonial Beach PTA, Chamber of Commerce and Rescue Squad teamed up with Custom Cartz and Coldwell Banker Elite to combine fall activities Oct. 25 into one big day on the Hill. The rescue squad hosted “Cow Patty Bingo.� Standing in for Bessy was 6-month-old Smirnoff. His duty was to walk the squared-off patch of grass and doody on one of the squares with the closest paid square being

the winner. Unfortunately, Smirnoff was too shy to perform in front of an audience so, eventually, time was called and the cow’s right leg was standing in spot 123, which belonged to Mike Gutridge, who won $135. Several children turned out for the Halloween costume contest. Kids enjoyed playing in several bouncy balloon rides with slides and other features, as well as games ranging from bean bag toss to basketball. The school had its pumpkin walk, auctioning off its pumpkins afterward. In the past, the PTA generally hosted a small fall event each year at the high school, while the rescue squad

provides an inflatable playground during events, and the chamber hosts an annual Halloween golf cart parade. Last year, the PTA approached the chamber about combining these events, and the First Annual Fall Festival was born. “We are so excited because several entities are working together to make this small, community event a big success,� said Caroline Piram, the event’s coordinator. The proceeds from the event will benefit various charities and volunteer organizations. All-day events included a chili cook-off, craft vendors and games.

Cougars’ third-quarter outburst mauls Foxes Leonard Banks Sports editor The Foxes hopes of rallying to overcome Courtland’s 14-3 halftime lead quickly dissipated within the first three minutes of the third quarter. Whether it was turnovers — six total — or the Cougars Cougars wing-T offensive backfield, King George could not prevent their Foxes Conference 22 rivals from adding another 34 points to their total. The 48-3 loss doomed the Foxes (35) playoff chances, as well as putting a damper on their homecoming and senior night. With the exception of a non-

48 3

conference 43-3 loss to Massaponax at the start of the season, the Cougars (7-1) have defeated every team in their path. With the playoff picture getting clearer in the next two games, the Cougars have a slim lead over second place Liberty-Bealton (8-1), and third place Eastern View (7-1). After a defensive stalemate in the first quarter, the Foxes nearly scored on a 52-yard pass completion from Will Clift to Adam Pryor. s fate would have it, the Foxes were held to a 21-yard field goal, courtesy of Chas Parker. The Cougars responded with two Anton Jenkins rushing touchdowns, from eight yards and one yard, respectively. After an exchange of turnovers at the start of the third quarter, Cougars’ running back George Cheetham ran up the interior of the defense for an

eight-yard touchdown. Later, with less than four minutes left in the quarter, Jabri Allen scored on a 36-yard reception from Chet Wilborne. With the infamous Cougars’ offense in full gear, they caught the Foxes off guard with an onside kick. Victor Green finished the drive, and extended the lead to 35-3 with a four-yard touchdown run. In the final quarter, the Foxes’ offense sputtered and continued to fall victim to turnovers. As for the Cougars, they added two mores scores, courtesy of Cheetham (threeyard touchdown run), and Dakota Woodward (nine-yard touchdown run). On Friday, King George will travel to Caroline for a 7 p.m. game.

Jabri Allen tries to avoid a tackle by a King George defender after catching a pass in a game Oct. 24. Allen’s 36-yard touchdown reception was one of several third-quarter scores that helped the Courtland Cougars beat the Foxes. Leonard Banks

Multi-sport star Parks a true leader Leonard Banks Sports editor Emily Parks has set out to finish her varsity athletic career year at Colonial Beach High School in style. Inspired by WNBA star and Phoenix Mercury guard Diana Taurasi, Parks is a firm believer in stepping up when her team needs her most. Now that Parks has excelled in basketball and softball by unselfishly taking those teams to postseason play on several occasions, she has added volleyball, and cheerleading to her busy schedule this season. When it comes to softball, Parks is the spark

that ignites the fuse. “You can play Emily in any position on the field,� head coach Scott Foster said. “If you had a team armed with the type of players that Emily is, that’s all you would need.� In the last two seasons, Parks has led the team in hitting with an average of .425 in 2014 and .394 in 2013. During the last two season, the co-captain has led the team to the first round of the VHSL 1A Regional playoffs. The 2013 season was the first time in school history the Drifters competed in a VHSL playoff game. Parks, a guard, also helped the basketball team win the conference championship, though it fell short of its state championship dream, losing to Honaker in the regional championship.

Parks, who is a member of the National Honor Society, has been accepted to Bridgewater College; however, she has an interest in attending James Madison University on an ROTC scholarship.

“She is the glue that holds the team together,� said varsity basketball head coach Keith Dickerson. Currently, the Drifters’ volleyball team is having its best season in years with a record of 5-5. “Although I love volleyball, because it’s new, it’s not my favorite sport,� Parks said. “It keeps me in shape and gets my endurance ready for basketball.� Parks is highly thought of as a role model for the volleyball team. “Emily is a true leader,� volleyball head coach Chase Davidson said. “Emily is as hard of a worker as I ever seen.

He also had a 30-yard interception return for a touchdwn, scored on a fiveyard touchdown run and returned a punt 28 yards to help spur the Eagles to a second-half scoring spree and a victory.

Jacob Daiger kicked all three second-half extra points and also added a 30-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. “Special teams played fantastic,� Jones said. “They kept us in good field position, which is crucial. Jake Daiger was great. Cullen Bell kept putting punts inside the 10yard line. And, Sumiel was a threat to score all night.� With the victory against the Raiders, the W&L defense, which seems to be getting stronger every game, posted its third straight shutout. In addition to Sumiel, the defense was led by senior linebacker Jeremy Turner who had three tackles, a quarterback hurry and a key sack.

and two kills. “We live and die off the serve, and tonight we didn’t fare too well,� head coach Chase Davidson said. “For most of the night, we didn’t give ourselves a chance to set up our offense due our inability to pass off the serve.� The Oct. 27 home game against Caroline and the Oct. 28 home game against Lancaster were unavailable due to press deadlines. The Drifters will travel Oct. 29 to Lancaster to play the Red Devils.

Sports editor It may be a blessing in disguise. After losing the Battlefield District Cheerleading Tournament to Caroline and the Conference 22 Championship by two points to Liberty, the Foxes’ cheer program hasn’t lost a beat. Long-time cheer sideline and competition coach Amanda Weston already has begun making preparations for the upcoming Region 4A North Championship

Nov. 1. “These kids have huge hearts and are ready to prove they are ready to take King George High School back to the state competition for the first time in over a decade,� Weston said. The second place may be a blessing in disguise, as it set the Foxes up to compete 12th out of 16 teams next Saturday. That may be a good spot to maximize their score sheet and prove to the judges they should have been conference champs. VHSL scores cheer competitions using a standard rubric, five routine

judges score major categories of motions, jumps, tumbling, stunts, and dance. Each category is worth 15 points; other minor categories include projection, choreography, degree of difficulty, and overall impression, each worth five points. Each competition also has two safety judges who deduct for safety infractions that violate VHSL and NFHS Spirit Rules. Weston, a KGHS alumni, has been a VHSL cheer official, and has judged competitions outside of 4A schools for three years.

Drifters blow out Indians Leonard Banks Sports editor With the exception of several Indian scores, the game featuring Northumberland and Colonial Beach was blowout dominated by the Drifters. After the road win, Drifters’ head coach Drifters Scott Foster was cautiously optimistic. “The message Indians at this time of the season is that you have to start getting better, because playoffs are just around the corner,� Foster said. Dez’John Parker started the Drifters scoring with a 15-yard interception. After the Indians responded with a touchdown on an Andria Turner 12-yard pass to Mike Mothershead and Nick Graves two-point conversion, the Drifters led 14-8. In the second quarter, the Drifters extended their lead to 26-8. After Lamar Lucas scored on a 26-yard touchdown run, Parker added a one-yard touchdown plunge. The Drifters’ offense kicked into overdrive in the second half, as Mothershead started the half with an 85-yard touchdown return. Later in the third quarter, after Lucas scored on a fiveyard touchdown rush, Turner scored his third touchdown of the game on an 11-yard run. Lucas concluded the scoring for the Drifters with an 18-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter. The Drifters dominated the rushing stats with 292 yards versus 43 yards for the Indians. On Friday night, the Drifters will celebrate their homecoming game against Lancaster. Both teams are playoff bound. Game time is 7 p.m. at Monroe Park.

Survey shows baiting is not welcome in Virginia Mark Fike A few summers ago, I wrote a piece mentioning baiting being illegal in Virginia and recall the article getting a lot of positive attention and one very strongly opinionated reader supporting baiting as a way to hunt in Virginia. Since that time, I have taken the opportunity to discuss this topic with acquaintances from Maryland and Texas, where it is legal to use bait to hunt. My discussions were far from scientific in data collection, but I did note several trends. Overall, baiting was perceived by many to be unsportsmanlike or even unethical. However, younger hunters and those from states where it was legal were more inclined to be accepting of the practice. Asurveydonethismonthbya group called Responsive Management out of Harrisonburg looked at the issue. It is available at http:// w w w.resp onsivemanagement. com/download/reports/VA_Bait_ Report.pdf. Responsive Management used both landline and cellular phones to call 1,001 residents and 407 licensed hunters in Virginia to determine where folks stood on baiting and hunting in our state. In summary, their report showed 83 percent approve of legal hunting, and that includes 57 percent approval of residents. Only 12 percent disapprove. When looking at the licensed hunters in the survey, it

percent opposed, while 33 percent supported the idea. When asked if approval of hunting would change if the law were changed to allow hunting over bait, approval in general sank. While 83 percent of residents approved of hunting, that number dropped to 59 percent if baiting were permitted. Hunters’ approval dropped from 100 percent to 88 percent. I recall sitting around with a bunch of guys after a hunt in Texas several years ago, when one of the guys started talking about a really big buck he shot that was adorning his office wall. I noticed that he left out a lot of details about how he stalked or crept up on the deer or scouted. Just as I was thinking those thoughts, another guy asked him very pointedly how much corn he had to put in the feeder to get it to succumb to temptation. The conversation was quickly ended by the “hunter.� I am sure there are some guys out there that would brag about a big buck they shot over a bait pile, but most probably would not. It appears the recent survey supports that idea.

We would like to run hunting and fishing pictures, as space permits, that are tastefully taken (no blood, guts etc‌). Specifically, it would be nice to run photos of apprentice hunters, youth, women and anglers, too. Please be mindful of safety when taking photos. Watch where guns are pointed. Clean up your background, as well. Cans or trash in the back of a truck are not tasteful when you have dinner on your tailgate. Send the photos for consideration to: outdoors@journalpress.com. Tell us the name of the angler/hunter, species, when taken and with what. If an age is appropriate, give us that, too. Submitted photo

Outdoors Report Mark and Missy Fike Hunting Hunting season picked up a notch as hunters report seeing the prerut activity begin. Some scrapes are showing up along with rubs. Bucks are showing movement to look for does, as well. Fishing Rappahannock River: The wind and rain, along with hunting season

has kept many anglers off the water. However, those that go are finding good catfish action during the day. Bass angling is best on falling tides on shad-colored baits or crawfish colors. Try upriver for smallmouth and largemouth in the deep pools. Potomac River: Donna at Ken’s Tackle reported the rockfish bite has been good near Colonial Beach. Striper are also hitting below the 301 Bridge when you can get out with all the wind being as bad as it has been. Bass continue to hit on a falling tide on

crawfish colors in the tributaries. Inland waters: Ponds turned on quite well for bass. Try minnows or crawfish plastics. Lake Anna reported good striper action mid-lake and upper-lake regions again this week. Bass are hitting in the shallows uplake around docks, S turns in the creeks and rivers and along structure. Try jerkbaits. Saltwater: The larger fish are starting to move in. Rockfish up to 28 inches were caught, and some really thick bluefish were hammering bait, too.

When asked if approval of hunting would change if the law were changed to allow hunting over bait, approval in general sank. While 83 percent of residents approved of hunting, that number dropped to 59 percent if baiting were permitted. was no surprise 98 percent strongly approve of hunting, and 2 percent moderately approve. Residents were further asked their opinion on hunting with various weapons. Archery has an approval of 81 percent from residents, modern firearms was 73 percent, and primitive firearms (muzzleloaders) was 66 percent Hunting with high- tech gear (32 percent) or over bait (26 percent) received far lower approval ratings. Residents and hunters were agreeable that hunting for meat, for wildlife management and population control was a good reason to hunt. Residents stood at 78 percent on this, while hunters were at 98 percent or higher. Residents also listed protecting property as a top-five reason, while hunters rated protecting property at the low end of the scale. What interested me the most was that when directly asked if they would support or oppose a law to allow hunting over bait, most residents (67 percent) opposed the law to permit hunting over bait. Only 25 percent supported the idea. Hunters were not far behind with 58

Take the Affordable Care Act. Who are those that need it? Certainly not those who already can afford and have good health care insurance. Who is opposing it? Those who want the less well off to be ignored. The opposition to ACA is overlooking the fact that Massachusetts’ health care program is working well and is the system the ACA is patterned after. How difficult, and how destructive would it be if we were to go back, as the opposition is advocating. As I write these observations, I think how the Republicans are on the side of the well off and want to keep it that way. They seem to have little consideration for the general public, except to get votes using all the gobs of rich people’s money. Laborers do need a raise in minimum wage. I think it should better be called “starting wage.” A major increase in minimum wage however, would cause many job difficulties in hiring and retentions, as well as some businesses to close.

What political party do you think would be best for our country? Which would have compassion to help the less off? Which party would most likely look to where the money is located in our country for helping our deficit, instead of cutting programs of general need? At present the treasury is beginning to lower how much is necessary to borrow. I strongly believe there is no question the Democratic approach is quite superior to the Republican approach. Please get out with your friends to vote this November for Democrat candidates to elect candidates of the “compassion” party. Howard Yarus King George,

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Character is what should count Nov. 4

Dear Editor: I’m not sure who is the advising the brain trust in charge of Mark Warner’s Senate re-election campaign; but I don’t believe one who is worth millions and is a part of the often ridiculed 1 percent crowd would not use political signs with “Warner Country.” Because such could tacitly suggest an endorsement or association with what the media covered not that long ago in the occupy movement on one hand, while on the other could suggest where such signs flower that a promise has been annexed. Besides, there are voters among us who are independent and not for sale, as well as not likely beholden to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid. All in all, I’m somewhat bothered by a political Warner that used to promote and embrace himself as a “New Democrat,” which as I had understood back then, as someone moderate. Then again, maybe I misunderstood. Now that I have heard or read somewhere that he has morphed on to endorsing the “progressive” agenda. Makes me think sadly that those elected to office start out in earnest serving the people but somewhere, along the way, something has caused a moral compass transformational change which makes for some, who deeply believe in our Constitution and the sacred oath of office is just as important as one in church reciting the Apostle’s Creed, and understood what they had just uttered. Sadly, for me, and most likely others as well, such creates a very sobering

This is to give notice that the Town of Colonial Beach has conducted an evaluation as required by Executive Order 11988 and/or 11990, in accordance with HUD regulations at 24 CFR 55.20, Subpart C (Procedures for Making Determinations on Floodplain Management) to determine the potential effect that its activity in the floodplain will have on the human environment for the Colonial Beach Downtown Revitalization Project under a Community Development Block Grant under Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974. The proposed project is located the Town of Colonial Beach, Westmoreland County, and its project area—bounded by the Town’s boardwalk (Beach Terrace), Colonial Avenue, Washington Avenue and Hawthorn Street—consists of a total of 33.4 acres, of which 0.0184 acres are in the VE Zone, 5.3 acres are in the A & AE Zone (100 year Floodplain, 1% chance a year), and 6.17 acres are in the 500-year floodplain. Activities/Products in the project area will include façade improvements around the area where Irving Avenue and Hawthorn and Taylor Streets meet; a Mural Program; removal of three utility poles; construction of a Pedestrian Plaza; landscaping, street furniture, signage; and boardwalk improvements (replacement and repair). There are three primary purposes for this notice. First, people who may be affected by activities in floodplains and those who have an interest in the protection of the natural environment should be given an opportunity to express their concerns and provide information about these areas. Second, an adequate public notice program can be an important public educational tool. The dissemination of information about floodplains can facilitate and enhance Federal efforts to reduce the risks associated with the occupancy and modification of these special areas. Third, as a matter of fairness, when the Federal government determines it will participate in actions taking place in floodplains, it must inform those who may be put at greater or continued risk. Written comments must be received by the Town of Colonial Beach at the following address on or before November 14, 2014: Val Foulds, Town Manager, Town of Colonial Beach; 315 Douglas Avenue, Colonial Beach, VA 22443.

Walking trail to honor Monroe Richard Leggitt James Monroe, one of three U.S. Presidents born in Westmoreland and King George counties, will be honored with a half-mile historical, scenic walk in Colonial Beach from the Monroe birthplace site to Monroe Creek. The plans recently were approved by the Westmoreland County Board of Supervisors. “One hundred years from now, when folks walk this trail, it will still stand as a tribute to President Monroe,� said Westmoreland Board Chairman Darryl Fisher. Bids for the project will go out next year, and the project should be completed by the end of the year. Westmoreland County already owns all of the property required for the project. Monroe was the last president who was a founding father. He was

a Revolutionary War hero who was wounded at the battle of Trenton. He studied law under Thomas Jefferson, was a delegate to the Continental Congress, a senator from Virginia in the first United States Congress and a governor of Virginia. Monroe helped negotiate the Louisiana Purchase and served as Secretary of War and Secretary of State. He was the architect of the Monroe Doctrine, and, as president, he bought Florida from Spain. As America’s fifth president, he followed George Washington, the nation’s first President, who was born in Westmoreland, and James Madison, the fourth president, who was born in King George. “Very few people accomplished what Monroe did,� said Supervisor Woodrow Hynson. “He was a great president, secretary of war, secretary of state, governor and statesman.� To acknowledge Monroe’s

accomplishments, the county will develop a forest-lined grassland meadow between the current Monroe birthplace visitor center and Monroe Creek by creating a scenic trail that will have benches and a granite historical marker every 210 feet, commemorating some portion of Monroe’s life. There will be a bicycle trail through the area, a canoe launch and an overlook at the creek site. In addition, there will be an interpretation center and a picnic pavilion near the location of the old Monroe homestead. The site originally was part of a 1,500acre plantation owned by Virginia planter Andrew Monroe, James Monroe’s grandfather. The project is expected to cost $693,000 and will be built with state and federal money. Westmoreland County will be required to match up to 20 percent of the money, or $138,600, according to Robert Fink,

the county director of planning and community development. “The match does not all have to be cash from the county,� Fink said. “It can include in-kind expenses, donated cash or materials, volunteer labor or other grant funds of certain types.� Fink said citizen contributions to assist the completion the historic project will be welcomed. The James Monroe Memorial Foundation, which helps operate the current visitor center at the Monroe birthplace, also will be involved in the project. The foundation was created in 1927 to help preserve the memory and the works of the former president. “Working together, we are going to have something that is basically unchanging and timeless,� said Glenn Stach of Hill Studio Inc. in Roanoke, the design firm that is overseeing the innovative historical project.

This slantfront desk comes from a Richmond family who has owned it for many years. It is English, with solid ends and the original finish. The primary wood is mahogany, with extensive satinwood inlays, particularly in the interior. The secondary wood is English oak. Some minor damage is apparent in the banding of the veneer and on one corner. Otherwise, the condition is excellent. This piece Henry Lane dates from the Hull late eighteenth century or the beginning of the nineteenth century. Its great value rests in the ornate and intricately executed details of the interior. Desks such as this one are judged primarily by whether they have flat, semi-amphitheater or amphitheater interiors. Although this one is flat, meaning that the cubbyholes and drawers form a straight line rather than coming out towards the writing surface, the workmanship is of the high quality that was typical of the period. I note that one of the ivory pulls on an interior drawer has been replaced with a brass one and suggest looking on the Internet to try to find an appropriate substitute. The ogee bracket feet indicate that they are replacements, as the style is not what normally we associate with a Hepplewhite piece of this nature. I do not recommend changing them, but the absence of the original feet is a factor in determining the value. I do recommend having the minor veneer damage repaired. Not to do so could cause greater damage in the future from the jagged edges catching on a dust cloth.

The desk, in its present condition, with the replacement feet, is worth $1200. One with original feet and an amphitheater interior would be worth several times that amount. A semi-amphitheater would be twice the value, and similar American pieces also would command significantly higher prices. Henry Lane Hull and his wife, Lisa, operate Commonwealth Antiques and Appraisals, Inc. at 5150 Jessie duPont Hwy. in Wicomico Church, VA. Write to him at P.O.
