King George rezones property for Commercial Metals Company Phyllis Cook The King George Board of Supervisors approved rezoning 38.62-acres from agricultural to industrial use. The rezoning paves the way for Commercial Metals Company to invest $12 million to relocate and expand its manufacturing operations with construction of a 84,000 squarefoot rebar fabrication facility. Plans for the complex include a warehouse and office space on 30 acres of land to be incorporated into the countyowned industrial park. The facility is to be completed within two years of the land purchase. Commercial Metals will bring about 43 positions from its other locations, including from Spotsylvania County, and create an additional ten to 20 new jobs within five years of startup. The deal has been in the works for the last year, with the Virginia Economic Development Partnership assisting with the company’s application for $450,000 in state grant funds. The money will finance construction of 4,200 feet of additional railroad track to extend the existing CSX rail line that serves a portion of the industrial park. Commercial Metals is a subsidiary of HGAC, LLC, a global, low-cost metals recycling, manufacturing, fabricating, and trading enterprise. Linwood Thomas, director of economic development for the

Phyllis Cook The King George Service Authority will increase rates and fees for Fiscal Year 2015-16. The commission is also planning for incremental increases over the next five years. A ceiling for the proposed hikes for 2015-16 is expected to be set by the end of April, with a public hearing and a vote to be scheduled in June. The authority reviewed four scenarios for increasing revenues during its April 14 budget session. The options were presented by Kyle Laux of Davenport and Company, LLC, which serves as financial advisor to the county and service authority. The minimum residential bill for customers with both water and sewer service using up to 5,000 gallons per two-month billing period is currently $118.20. Each of the four options would raise the current minimum twomonth billing from $118.20 to $127$131 for Fiscal Year 2015-16. For the next three years the minimum bill would go up between $10 to $34 per two-months, with steeper increases coming later. The county’s current ‘average’ residential bill for both water and sewer service is $175 and based on usage of 9,000 gallons per twomonth billing period. The ‘average’ residential twomonth billing of $175 was proposed to increase by $10 to $14 per twomonths for 2015-16, and $16 to $19 per two-months more for 2016-17 and again in 2017-18, with sharper increases to come in the out years. The board agreed with member Joe Grzeika’s request for a fifth option to provide a hybrid version that boosts user rates, but imposes a less-steep rise for fixed debt service fees. Member Ruby Brabo agreed with Grzeika’s suggestion. “Looking at the hybrid option gives us the opportunity to not sock it to the minimum users,” she said. Laux said he’d provide the requested new plan in the next week See AUTHORITY page 8

Students dig for history at Belle Grove Richard Leggitt The University of Mary Washington’s Dr. Doug Sanford is a man with a passion for the past. For several years he led teams of students that helped uncover artifacts on the grounds of Westmoreland’s Stratford Hall, birthplace of Robert E. Lee. Now Sanford, who has more than 20 years experience as an archaeology professional, is leading a group of students digging for relics at Belle Grove Plantation in King George.

Belle Grove, an 18th century plantation on the Rappahannock River, has been painstakingly and beautifully restored by Brett and Michelle Darnell and turned into a luxury bed and breakfast and venue for special events. President James Madison was born on the plantation on March 16, 1751. “This area had never been surveyed until we started work last spring,” said Sanford, the director of archaeological programs for UMW’s Center for Historical Preservation.

Working from an 1856 map of the Rappahannock River location, Sanford and crews of UMW students are carefully examining the Belle Grove grounds for historical treasures. “We have found a whole range of artifacts last spring and are finding more this year,” he said. John Strangfeld, a UMW freshman from Herndon, finds pleasure in the on-site work. “I really enjoy seeing what kind of things are here,” he said. “I really See HISTORY page 8

King George resident DeLaura Padovan-Hickman was in her element, jaming with Maranje Marimba Ensemble and showing youngsters the art of playing marimba in a group. The nine-person ensemble also includes Maren Padovan-Hickman and Steve Hickman of King George, Sam and Kena Ross of Stafford, Alex Kane of Warsaw, Selene Jarvis of Woodford, and Annette and Amadi Nzojibwami of Fredericksburg. As music filed the air, crowds enjoyed riding the Massaponax Baptist Church barrel train and watching river safety, fly fishing, and wildlife demonstrations.

county, has shepherded the deal. “Considering the highly competitive nature of economic development, it is exciting to be able to add a Fortune 500 company of Commercial Metal’s caliber to King George County,” he declared. “Today, corporations and companies alike are looking for site-ready land. The infrastructure improvements the board is making to our industrial park, including fiber, water, sewer, rail, and, eventually, gas will allow King George to compete for additional investments by companies both nationally and internationally.” Last week’s board action took place shortly before the Planning Commission approved Commercial Metals Company’s final plat and site plan. The sales closing on the land is expected to take place within a few weeks. The property is currently owned by the Frank B. Taylor Limited Family Partnership, LLP. The economic development authority took action on April 9 to authorize its chairman to sign a supplement to the park’s protective covenants to incorporate the property into the industrial park. That will also include the remaining 8.62 rezoned acres to be purchased by the county to give it the ability to provide rail access to additional property earmarked for the industrial park in the future.

King George resident gets break from judge in credit card fraud case Richard Leggitt A 23-year-old King George man convicted of eight counts of credit card theft was back in court Thursday and got a break from King George Circuit Judge Herbert Hewitt. The judge deferred the convictions of Tony Bae and ordered him to attend a diversion program. Bae, a former employee of Bo’s Restaurant, was arrested last October after he boasted to a King George Sheriff ’s deputy that he was recording credit card numbers at the restaurant, located on Route 301. Testimony in court indicated that when the sheriff ’s deputy eating at the restaurant handed Bae his credit card to pay for a meal, Bae told him, “I don’t need it. I have your number on file.” Bae was convicted on Feb. 19 of credit card theft after entering pleas of guilty to the charges against him. In court Thursday, Bae listened as his attorney, Julia Dillon, pleaded for leniency for her client. “Although Bae had the ability to steal a significant amount of money, he never actually did it. He did run a $1 charge though on one credit card

but quickly refunded it,” Dillon told Judge Hewitt, noting that her client has no criminal record. “He just made a stupid mistake.” After hearing arguments from Dillon and Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Jennifer Pollard, Hewitt sentenced Bae to two years in prison on each of the eight counts of credit theft but suspended all but eight months of the possible 16-year sentence. After Bae apologized for this actions, Judge Hewitt ordered that the prison time and the guilty verdicts be held in abeyance while Bae attends a state-sponsored diversion program. Hewitt said the verdicts and the sentence could be set aside if Bae successfully completes the program. A subsequent investigation revealed that Bae had recorded the credit card information of more than 32 of the restaurant’s customers on his cell phone and in a notebook. “Mr. Bae’s case is the quintessential example that folks should check their credit card statements carefully and thoroughly,” said King George Commonwealth’s Attorney Keri Gusmann.

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

An Ode to the Lawnmower

For centuries authors and poets have written in praise of everything from beautiful women, to starry skies, fast cars, and even one poem, written by the Scotsman, Robert Burns, about a field mouse. So, the fact that I am writing an ode to a lawnmower shouldn’t seem all that bizarre. Ok, well, maybe that does seem a bit strange, but, do me a favor, stay with me on this one. Lawnmowers, that essential tool of the American suburban male, deserve some special praise. There is no household item that is quite as David S. Kerr abused or mistreated as the lawnmower. Oh true, there are those of us, like, say, my great uncle, a farmer and one time machinist, who nursed his lawnmower

Op Ed Mr. President, Another Lie? In President Obama’s weekly address on Saturday, April 18th, he stated: “Climate Change can no longer be denied …..”. Of course climate changes, but it does so naturally and on a cyclical basis. However, the only climate change Mr. Obama talks about is, what used to be referred to as “global warming”, now more conveniently and euphemistically called “climate change”. Manmade global warming can be and is rejected by hundreds of honest scientists, environmentalists, and meteorologists who have no agenda to drive. Read about it, learn about it, if you are really interested in the truth. A few examples of the hoax being pushed by the President and his manmade global warming allies (man-maders, I call them). There is no empirical data, actual measurements, supporting the claims of “man-maders”. Their case is based solely on computer generated models. The model most used is that of the University of East Anglia, UK, which was discovered to have fed biased data to the computer, and which appeared to cover up any output that did not support the man-made agenda. The push for reducing carbon emissions, which are only trace elements in greenhouse gases, is only a scam to redistribute money. Exacting harsh financial penalties on fossil fuel users. The President stated that he was going drive electricity generating companies, who use fossil fuels, out of business, and make electricity extremely expensive for the average user. Is this not a radical agenda? Another scheme, posited by one of our local PHDs, recommended charging these carbon generators $10.00 per ton, increasing annually, with the revenue generated by these confiscatory taxes being returned to individual households. Really??? When has the government ever taken our money and then returned it to us? Bottom line. We all want to protect our environment, but we want to do it correctly, effectively, and efficiently, and not be hoodwinked in the process. F.C.Dugan, III Hague, VA

from the moment he bought it. He saw to it that the blades were always sharp, the carburetor clean, the spark plug new and properly set and that come the end of the mowing season that that fuel tank is properly drained and the mower is carefully stored. But none of this holds true for his grand-nephew. In a revelation that would surely shock, if not devastate my great uncle, I am not even sure what its make and model is. It’s on there somewhere. But, I can tell you it’s four stroke engine and that I bought it at Walmart. Well, I think it was Walmart, anyway. What can I say? As a tool of modern man, the resilience and engineering of the modern day lawnmower surpasses any other invention. Just think about it. You buy a lawnmower, like I did, put some gas in it and immediately start it up. Hopefully, you remembered the oil too. You mercilessly push it up and down hill sides, full speed directly into tree trunks, rocks and the oc-

casional oversized limb and it keeps on going. It gets picked up and slammed on the ground occasionally. Its poor blade repeatedly gets nicked on rocks and curbs. And it keeps going. Now you think a tool like this, one that has more staying power than the Army’s best vehicle (those sissy gadgets are in for repair all the time) would deserve careful maintenance and proper storage. Well, maybe some suburbanites are that careful and more power to them, but I have to admit, I fall short. My lawnmower has spent more than its fair share of its time left in the driving rain, and once, it even weathered out most of the winter and several snowstorms. Oh yes, and one year, when I hired a kid to cut the grass for the season, it just sat. Most equipment, treated like this, would have long since given up the ghost, but my lawnmower, as I knew it would, started up on the second pull. Occasionally I

RCC adds new members to academic honor society On April 10, Rappahannock Community College’s Alpha Lambda Omicron chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa International Honor Society inducted 64 new student members. In order to be invited to join, students must maintain a grade-point average of 3.5 or better. “We celebrated a special group of smart, hardworking students,” says Dr. Donna Alexander, RCC’s vice president of instruction and student development, who delivered the opening remarks. The featured speaker at the event was the Honorable Michael McKenney, who serves as the presiding judge for the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court, 15th Judicial District. Included in the induction ceremony were: Andrea Gamache, Christin Jaynes, Tabitha Kim, Jordan Smith, Brittany Thompson, Nicholas Willis, and Detty Wools, all of King George County; and John Hemenway and Margaret Hemenway, both of Westmoreland County. Phi Theta Kappa is the official honor society for two-year colleges worldwide. Established in 1918, it is today the largest honor society in American higher education, with over 2 million members, and more than 1,200 chapters located in all 50 states, the United States territories, Canada, Germany, and Japan.

make an error or two in what maintenance I do give it. A couple of years ago I was worried that the oil level was low, and I so I generously poured quite a bit in. Far too much it seems, because for several months, in the classic way the Navy makes smokescreens at sea, the oil occasionally ends up overflowing onto the hot exhaust system, and what can I say, if there were any enemy aircraft after me, I wouldn’t be spotted. But I have had several neighbors grow very concerned at the large plumes of white smoke rising over the house. But, the little engine, in spite of this abuse, keeps performing. It is truly amazing. Right down to the smooth hum and the rather good job it still does on my front yard. You would think it was brand new. I’ve had it about five years, maybe a bit longer, and like I said, if it were any other household device, it would have long since expired, but not my mighty lawnmower

Drifters pummel Washington & Lee Leonard Banks Sports Editor

Leonard Banks

Drifter Manana Morton steps back as a wild pitch eludes Washington & Lee catcher.

Last Thursday’s 18-4 Conference 43 win against the visiting Washington & Lee Eagles seems to have been a step in the right direction for Colonial Beach varsity softball team. After defeating Lancaster, 18-10, during the Dream Fields Tournament the night before, it’s apparent the Drifters current 2-0-conference record is a sign their confidence is growing with each game. “I told my team, when we’re on, we’re good, but when we’re bad, we’re ugly,” Drifters’ head coach Scott Foster said. “Today, they did what they were susposed to do, and that’s all I can ask.” However, lurking in the shadows is returning state champion and conference rival Rappahannock Raiders. On April 29, the Drifters will travel to the hostile confines of the Raiders.

“Today, they did what they were susposed to do, and that’s all I can ask.”

Scott Foster, Drifters Head Coach

Eagles’ starting pitcher Kendall Headly struggled in the bottom of the first inning, as the Drifters plated 10 runs. Deniya Newman got the ball rolling by scoring the first run on a throwing error. Two batters later, Emily Parks crushed a run-scoring double into center field. Parks later scored on a dropped third strike error that extended the Drifters’ lead to 3-0. Sydni Carey nailed a two-run single to bolster the lead. After Parks plated two more runs on a triple into left field, the Drifters

continued to take full advantage of the Eagles’ fielding miscues, as they closed out the inning with several more runs for a 10-0 lead. In the bottom of the second inning, the Drifters extended the lead to 13-0, courtesy of a RBI grounder by Carey, a wild pitch and Brooke Payne stealing home. In the bottom of the third inning, Manana Morton was responsible for two runs, courtesy of an RBI double a throwing error. Although the Eagles managed to cut the Drifters’ lead to 15-5 with four runs in the top of the fourth inning, it proved futile, as the Black & Gold closed the game out with three additional runs in the bottom of the fourth. Due to the 10-run mercy rule, the game ended in the top of the fifth inning. The Drifters used a total of four pitchers: Morton, Payne, Kenzie Cox and Haley Phillips.

Staff report On April 17, during a conference soccer game against Chancellor, with 5:02 left in the first half, Charger forward Jharley Rodriguez scored the first goal of the night against King George.

On Wednesday, the girls’ team improved to 3-4 (2-3 district) with a 9-0 home win versus Liberty-Bealton. In nine matches, the Falcons won eight games. As for the boys, they were defeated, 9-0, by Eastern View April 13. The

Chargers to one point in the first half, the Foxes did not score for the rest of the game. Optimistic that his team will ultimately find success as the season unfolds, Foxes’ head coach Jeff Butler said, “It has been a difficult season up to this point with some close losses in our games prior to spring break and then a difficult schedule with three very tough opponents in four days the week following spring break,” Butler said. The Foxes are actually a lot better than their 1-6-1 record suggests. In

fact, with the exception of the loss to the Chargers, the Foxes have lost by and average of one point to five tough opponents. “The team is trying to battle through some injuries and adversity to get better results in the second half of the season,” Butler said. “We have flashes of good play but have had a difficult time putting together complete games, and that will be our focus for the remainder of the year.” On Friday, April 24, the Foxes will travel to Culpeper to battle, Eastern View.

Road to youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first turkey quite a story Mark Fike Travis Compher has a story that is quite unique. Compher has been battling leukemia since 2012. The freshman at Caroline High School did not grow up in a hunting family. In fact, his father knows very little about hunting. However, when Travis was first diagnosed with cancer, his fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friend, Bud, asked if he could help the young man out and get him interested in hunting and archery. Kenny Compher, Travisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dad, gave the OK and Bud decided to purchase a bow for Travis for Christmas. Tragedy struck in a most unfair way though. Bud walked out of his house a few weeks before Christmas, but after he had purchased the bow for Travis, and died from a brain aneurysm. The story could have ended right there. Kenny knows nothing about archery or hunting. However, in an effort to keep Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efforts alive, they took the bow a sporting goods store and after hearing the story, the staff set the bow up for free. Shortly after Budâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, Kenny bumped into Chad Neal, a former classmate and avid hunter. Chad heard about Travis and Bud and decided he was going to step in and make a difference. Chad began giving Travis hunting lessons. Fast forward to April 4. That was youth day for spring gobbler season statewide. Chad had contacted his father, Paul, also an avid hunt-

er, and asked about taking the young man to a property they hunt in King George County. The elder Neal readily agreed. After calling for more than an hour without any plausible replies, the group was ready to pack it in for the morning. Paul Neal suggested they move to a location further down the property. As the hunters made the hike down a road, they heard a hen. Up to this point, Travis figured he was not going to see a bird and his chances were not good. Then the hen was heard twice in the direction Paul suggested. Hope filled the hearts of the hunters as a gobbler fired up at the top of the hill not too far from where the elder Neal had told them to try. Another gobbler joined in with the calling and after 30 minutes of calling back and forth, the big boy rolled into sight and strutted to a mere 12 yards from Travis, who pressed the trigger and took his first bird. The bird weighed 22 pounds and had a set of three beards. The beard lengths were as follows: 10 Â˝ inches, 7 Â˝ inches and 2 Â˝ inches. Travis said his heart was pounding and full of adrenalin when the gobbler was strutting in front of him. Non-hunters may not be aware of the fact that when a gobbler struts, he puffs up quite a bit larger, is extremely loud and spreads his fan. Basically, the bird is intimidatingly large. Travis made the shot under conditions that have been known to rattle grown men. Congratulations Travis on your first gobbler.

Mark and Missy Fike Fishing continues to be very good and hunting picked up with the gobbler season having a great opening weather start.

Hunting

Hunting has ramped up. There have been a number of nice turkeys taken this past week. Some gobblers are henned up and not responding well but that will change once the hens go to nest. Keep at it and be safe. Congratulations to our young hunters who took birds on youth day.

Fishing

Potomac Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The bass action has picked up noticeably. Use spinnberbaits and plastic baits near vegetation. Fish the edges, particularly on an outgoing tide. White and shad were good colors. Catfish continue to hit in the main river and now are in the creeks as well. Rappahannock Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Donna from Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tackle in Spotsylvania County said shad are in town still. One customer supposedly got ticketed trying to keep American shad. Please ID your shad. The American shad have a mouth that meets perfectly tip to tip while the hickory shad have a longer lower jaw. We hear the bigger catfish are hitting fresh shad on the river now. Fish up to 50 pounds have been caught. Hickory shad and herring are being caught

now too. In the tidal section of the river it can be spotty. Better action appears to be above the Route 1 bridge. Remember, no herring may be kept. Use shad darts, silver spoons or Sabiki Rigs. Motts Run reported the crappie fishing is still very good. Minnows and nightcrawlers are taking fish. Use jigs with them. The water is so high at Motts they are not renting boats yet with no docks to tie off to. Lake Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Tim at High Point Marina reported there are largemouth in the shallows and on points. Jerkbaits and Carolina rigged lizzards are good as are shaky head worms. Tigershad spinnerbaits are go to lures for bass. Chris Craft at Anna Point Marina reports a spectacular week. The bass fishing is picking up quite a bit. Crappie fishing on aquatic vegetation took off, too. Use jigs for the crappie. He also suggests practicing conservation and gently releasing the egg-laden females to spawn after a quick photo. Lake Orange reportedly had good bass and crappie action. Fish are on structure and either mid-spawn (crappie) or prespawn (bass). Pond action is very good for crappie although in some ponds action is slowly giving way to pre-spawn bass. Bass are hitting plastics. Try jerkbaits or crawfish baits.

This Victorian parlor table comes from the estate of a prominent Northern Neck family. The marble is dark reddish brown, and the wood of the frame is walnut. The finish is original. Unfortunately, many years ago in moving the piece, the marble top snapped in two, and has been glued back together, apparently, not successfully, as the seam is not even. No label or stamp has been found indicating who made the table. Henry Lane The style of Hull this table is that of Charles Eastlake, the English designer who is famous for bringing the intaglio cut into vogue. That style became a wave both in Britain and in America. This piece dates from 1860, when Eastlake was the rage among American furniture makers. Although the color of the marble top is quite popular among collectors of Victorian furniture, its broken condition appreciably affects the value of the table, despite the original condition of the wooden frame. Perhaps the piece could be separated and re-glued more successfully, but that process

might cause chipping of what was a clean break. As I often have noted, trends in the antiques market follow the stock and real estate markets, and prices generally have been down across the board. Today, whereas the stock market has rebounded, the real estate market and antiques arena have not recovered as well. A decade ago our firm sold a similar table, without a repaired marble top, for $550, but today even in original condition this table only would be worth $350. With the broken top, at present this one would bring half that amount. It is a fine example of its period, but damaged pieces that cannot be restored to original condition are difficult to sell, unless they are attributable to a recognized maker or have a provenance of significant prior ownership. This table always will have a noticeably repaired piece of marble as its surface, a situation that cannot be changed. Happy Antiquing!

Box 35, Wicomico Church, VA 22579 or email questions to henrylanehull@ commonwealthantiques.com.

History: Students dig at Belle Grove

King George School Division pondering ‘lead driver’ program for bus system Phyllis Cook The School Board received an update on a proposal to add “lead driver” positions to the transportation department, with no decisions being made at an April 13 meeting. Superintendent Rob Benson had introduced the concept in an email and during a meeting in December, saying the division would test it through a pilot program. The goal is to lessen or eliminate late bus loads of students arriving at schools. According to Ray Newton, division supervisor of transportation, the program was piloted over the last several weeks. “We had to tweak as we went and we were learning as we were going,” he said recently.

From page 1 didn’t think it would be this much fun.” Sanford’s crew is mapping the Belle Grove grounds with yellow flags to mark spots with archaeological potential. They then use shovels to dig one-foot-deep holes to reach undisturbed earth. Screens are then used to carefully sift through the dirt. The budding archeologists then tag and bag any artifacts uncovered. Their finds so far include buttons, oyster shells, ceramics, bricks, nails, clay pottery, coal, bottles, window glass, porcelain and some Native American artifacts. “The ceramics are helpful, because they are easier to date,” Sanford said. The historic treasures will then undergo further analysis. “All of the artifacts will go to our labs to be processed, but we have an agreement with Belle Grove that they will be returned here,” Sanford said. Michelle Darnell said she hopes to display the more interesting artifacts in Belle Grove’s summer kitchen when it is restored. Sanford’s student archeologists are studying historical preservation and take their tasks very seriously. “I enjoy finding history,” said Randy Kehrer, a freshman from

Authority: Rising rates likely in future From page 1 or two, saying a five-year plan should be reviewed annually. “It’s a way forward. But depending on what the world looks like and your budget, you’ve got to make adjustments every year,” Laux said. Grzeika agreed. “That’s what we did with the last plan. We looked at it every year, with actuals, and where we were going. It’s a good tool to
