Plott tapped as next Colonial Beach police chief Linda Farneth The Colonial Beach Town Council has chosen Robert Daniel Plott as the town’s new chief of police. The announcement came at the council’s April 23 work session. Contract negotiations were not finalized at the time of the work session and have not yet been made public. Plott served more than 33 years with the Virginia State Police, retiring as the fifth Division Commander of the Bureau of Field Operations in Chesapeake. “He has held positions of increasing responsibility which reflect his commitment to extremely high professional law enforcement standards,” Town Manager Val Foulds told the council. The process of choosing a chief began with the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police (VACP). The group reviewed, vetted and ranked 26 applicants, narrowing the search to six. “The goal of the Chiefs Association is to promote professionalism in policing.” Donna Schrad, VAPC’s executive director, told the

council, “So when ever we have an opportunity to work with a locality that is looking for a new chief, the reason we have an interest is that our main goal is making sure that the citizens of Virginia are well served with professional and ethical police services.” Foulds said on April 27, that VAPC performed an intense. detailed review, followed by an hourlong interview with each candidate. Plott scored the highest of all six final applicants. The council then conducted an interview with Plott. Afterward, the council accepted VACP’s recommendation to hire Plott and voted at the April 23 work session to offer him the position. Plott is currently reviewing the contract. Council members expressed hope that he can start work on May 4. Mayor Mike Ham said that if necessary, the council can extend the contract of Acting Police Chief Bruce Hough. The council named Hough as acting chief on Jan. 2, following the resignation of Police Chief Elizabeth Legg.

Drug-raid suspects arraigned in Westmoreland and King George counties Richard Leggitt A Colonial Beach woman, one of 11 suspects swept up in two April 16 raids by the Tri-County Drug Task Force, has been released on $6,000 bond after appearing in circuit courts in King George and Westmoreland counties. Amanda M. Head, 49, is charged with nine drug-related charges in King George including distributing crack cocaine, child endangerment and conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. In Westmoreland, Head is charged

with distributing crack cocaine, possessing a firearm while possessing crack cocaine, and conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. Circuit Court Judge Judge Hebert Hewitt granted Head’s request for a court-appointed attorney. The task force raids were the result of a six-month undercover investigation and led to the arrests of six men and five women. The raids, called “Operation Double Tap,” were conducted in the 200 block of Mattox Avenue in Placid See ARRAIGNMENT, page 8

Elementary students watch as Katelyn Dunaway and Brittany Hayes plant an Willow Oak in front of the Colonial Beach Elementary School. The planting was part of the 2015 Earth Day celebration. Students learned about how planting trees can improve air quality and create a cleaner world.

Earth Day festivities include tree planting Linda Farneth Colonial Beach students participated in two events rolled into one on Earth Day. Ground was broken for a pair gardens at the First Street School, which will contain Willow Oak and Flowering Understory trees, both native to Virginia. Students from kindergarten to high school seniors learned about the art of tree planting. “It’s not just about digging a hole and putting it in the ground,” said

Colonial Beach Green Team Leader Diana Clopton. She then pointed out that all trees have a flare, which, when planted correctly, grows and spreads out just above the soil. Clopton explained this to high school students Katelyn Dunaway, Brittany Hayes, Collin Blandford and Alexis Johnson before letting them teach other the students as they planted the trees. Elementary Students gathered in front of their buildings to watch the planting of the new trees and discuss their impact on the environment.

Colonial Beach Artists’ Guild hosts Spring Fling Linda Farneth The Colonial Beach Artists’ Guild held its first Spring Fling for art lovers. The festivities took place April 25 at the Monroe Bay Inn Bed and Breakfast and included live music, food, wine and art. Steve Griffin, John Murphy and Marty Caporaletti all played guitar and sang. Artist Vicki Marckel painted a lake scene during the event, which was raffled off at the end of the festivities. Joan Coffey drew portraits, and the guild showed off a portrait created by Cassie Downey, a senior at Colonial Beach High School and winner of the guild’s $500 scholarship. More than 30 different artists’ works were displayed. The Art Guild is seeking new members. The group meets monthly and offers display venues for artists. The guild sponsors the Second Friday Art Walks, as well as procuring spaces at the Potomac River Festival and the Colonial Beach Boardwalk Art Show. CBAG produces the annual Potomac River Regional Art Show every summer, which is cosponsored by the Colonial Beach Chamber of Commerce. For more information, go to colonialbeachartistsguild.org.

School principals Jennifer Grigsby and Michele Coates, along with Tania Shand, co-founder of Colonial Beach Green, led the activities. Colonial Beach School Superintendent Dr. Kevin Newman and Town Councilman Mike Looney also attended. Mike Gray, of Gray Construction donated time and equipment to prepare the planting sites. Walker Sand and Stone donated and delivered mulch to the site. Members of Colonial Beach Green, which promotes green initiatives

Founder Tania Shand discovered Colonial Beach in 2001 while looking for a property to buy. “Colonial Beach has a lot of natural resources,” she said. “This is a perfect place to try to preserve sustainability and promote green initiatives.” As the group grows, Shand wants it to promote sustainability around the boardwalk, as well as emphasize improved storm water management and smart development.

Former President James Monroe’s birthday was Tuesday, April 28. Westmoreland County is honoring its native son, the fifth president of the United States, with the construction of a halfmile, scenic historical walk to be completed by the end of the year at the James Monroe Birthplace in Colonial Beach. The Westmoreland Board of Supervisors, working in conjunction with the James Monroe Memorial Association, and federal and state governments, has approved plans to spend more than $700,000 to complete the James Monroe Historic Project. The scenic walk – along with a bicycle trail, a canoe launch, an overlook and a picnic pavilion – will be built on 73 acres already purchased by Westmoreland County at the location on Route 205 where Monroe was born on April 28, 1758. The site is already the location of the

James Monroe Birthplace Memorial and a visitor center. The Monroe Birthplace Project will feature an interpretation center that chronicles Monroe’s achievements. In addition, Westmoreland County will build benches and granite historical markers every 210-feet along the scenic trail telling the story of Monroe’s career. “One hundred years from now when folks walk this trail, it will stand as a tribute to President Monroe,” said Westmoreland Board Chairman Darryl Fisher. The project will arise near a grassland meadow along Monroe Creek that was once part of a 1,500 acre plantation owned by Andrew Monroe, James Monroe’s grandfather. “Very few people have See MONROE, page 8

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

General Assembly deserves a “well done” for passing gift limit

They did it. They actually did it. The General Assembly, in its special veto and amendments session, enacted a limit on gifts to legislators. This is a monumental step and they deserve a well done. For decades the General Assembly rejected calls for ethics reforms. The rationale was simple. The commonwealth had a squeaky clean image, there were few if any scandals and many, happy with the relaxed rules on trips and gift giving, didn’t see any need for new restrictions. But that’s changed. Now, there is a $100 annual cap on the amount David S. Kerr legislators can accept in free meals, trips and gifts. It represents a profound change in the commonwealth’s view of legislative ethics. None of this has been easy. Voters rarely took much

interest in the gift-giving culture in Richmond and legislators weren’t inclined to mess with a good thing. But their consciousness was raised when former Governor Bob McDonnell, himself once a member of the House of Delegates, was convicted on bribery charges related to gift giving. It was an unsavory mess, and the media and the voters started asking, “…just what goes on down there in Richmond?” Before the gift limit was passed there were no limits on gift giving to legislators. Lobbyists routinely took members on trips to golf tournaments, various retreats and fishing adventures. Free meals at Richmond’s fancy restaurants were commonplace. Now, almost overnight, that world is gone. The new ethics legislation, while justifiably earning some high praise, will probably take some getting used to. Members will have to start saying no more often, and the lobbyists will have to change their approach. Also, some of the language in the ethics legislation might have

to be tightened to plug a few loopholes or to add some clarification. Even with the best of intentions, applying the rules will take some getting used to. This was evidenced in the debate. Several members in the General Assembly, and remember the body is dominated by lawyers, offered all sorts of legal hypotheticals. In other words, lots of “what if ” scenarios. While to some this sounded like splitting hairs, the fact is, this is the kind of debate that needed to happen. Just what kinds of gifts or meals are covered by the limit and which aren’t? This will probably mean that being in the General Assembly won’t be as much fun as it once was. That is, if day-and-night sessions, for 90 or 120 days in a row is your idea of fun. But, it does mean that the chats with lobbyists over expensive dinners, the fishing trips and golf trips, are just about over. Not everyone is going to like it. The lobbyists certainly

Letter to the Editor

SUDOKU

On April 21, 2015, as a citizen, I read a prepared statement to our King George Board of Supervisors to share my concerns. I’ve lived in King George for 17-plus years and have had many concerns regarding funding of our educational system but even more so over the last few years. I realize most cities and counties across America have similar struggles but we live in King George. I presented how the county debt has tripled ($31 million to $100 million) in the 17 years I’ve lived here, how our school system has revolving doors because we can’t keep teachers (mainly because of low pay), and I questioned how decisions are prioritized and made. I closed by asking three personal questions: 1 If you didn’t live in King George, had a young family, and were looking at this community, would you move here? 2 Would you want your hardearned money to pay for a tremendous debt structure and one of the highest water rates in the state? 3 Would you want your children to have first-year teachers for the majority of their education? When I left, I felt like my statements were made in vain and my time was wasted. Like many other citizens of the county, I’m tired of feeling as though my voice is not heard. Mr. Sisson did offer to meet me privately to discuss my concerns. While I appreciate the offer, I question why a private meeting would be any more productive than a public meeting. I’ve made statements in previous board of supervisor meetings concerning our schools and the response is always the same. My point being, if citizens aren’t being heard isn’t it time for a change of leadership? My most important question is: Do our supervisors realize how important the decisions they make today are going to impact the future of King George? Sincerely, Norman Conner

don’t. The gifts, the dinners and trips, gave them a unique “in” with the legislators. Now, they are going to have to court the member’s time just like the rest of us. However, lobbyists and corporate interests haven’t exactly lost their power. It’s just shifted a bit. The special interests and the lobbyists still have plenty of sway with the members of the General Assembly. There are still the campaigns and the political action committees. And though an industry group may no longer be able to take a particular legislator out to lunch at a ritzy restaurant, it can, once the General Assembly adjourns, sponsor a fundraiser or give large contributions. This probably earns more gratitude from an individual member than a steak dinner ever will. And that’s the next hurdle when it comes to ethics reform in Virginia – namely the reform of the campaign finance system. But that’s another battle for another day.

Phyllis Cook The 2015 Summer Lunch Bunch program needs volunteers. The Lunch Bunch is a grassroots volunteer organization that helps meet the nutritional needs of King George children during the summer school break. Beginning June 16, volunteers will prepare lunches at the King George High School cafeteria and then deliver them. The program will continue until Aug.13. Deliveries will take place Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. “As of right now, we are still planning on delivering three days per week this summer, as long as we have a good show of volunteers,” said Annie Cupka, director of fundraising for the group. “Your time is sometimes the greatest gift you can give.” The Volunteer Fair will take place 3 p.m., May 3, at Peace Lutheran Church. Volunteers need only commit to one day per week. Nearly 30 percent of elementary students in King George receive free or reduced price breakfasts and lunches through the school system’s USDA Food Service Program. During summer break, they lose access to these reduced-price meals breakfasts and lunches. Participation in the program is voluntary and the schools do not release free and reduced meals status, which is confidential. The group is seeking donations from local organizations, as no federal or state monies are used to fund the Lunch Bunch. For more information, go to kgsummerlunchbunch.org or call Annette Ashton at (540) 663-3317.

Tritt finishes third Boston Marathon Leonard Banks Sports editor After running her third Boston Marathon, King George resident Michelle Tritt can say she gave her best. In the face of gusty winds, rain showers and 40-degree temperatures, Tritt established a personal record of three hours and 28 minutes. She beat her 2013 time by 1:48 and last year’s time by 1:45. Qualifying time for her age group is 3:45. “Windy and rainy I knew the race would go on so I needed adjust my attitude and expectations,” she said. “There was a downpour at the start and the camaraderie among runners was apparent as we looked at each other, smiled, huddled together and shared whatever rain gear was available.” Nearly 30,000 runners were greeted with signs that ranged from “Hurry up, the Kenyans are Drinking Beer” to “You got this, push here for speed.” It was a marathon of high-fives, children cheering from the tops of their parents’ shoulders, and runners sprinting on inspiration. Tritt ran along side amputees who used the race as a mechanism for

recovery, and autistic runners who used guides to help them along the course. According to Tritt, the city of Boston did not disappoint. Although she expected fewer spectators in the rain, the people of Boston were out in force. Images of orange slices, licorice, cheering crowds, and cowbells littered the landscape as runners forged their way through the streets of Boston. Throughout the 26.2-mile course, Tritt ran with the pride for King George in heart, and the name of Wesley Berry written on her leg. Berry is in the midst of fighting brain cancer. “He has been with me, figuratively through all three Boston marathons,” Tritt said. Memories of Boston will forever live in Tritt’s heart. This year, she ran and raised money on behalf of King George YMCA programs “As I came to the famous turn ‘Right on Hereford, Left on Boylston’ I was incredibly sad to realize it was almost over and instead of sprinting I actually slowed to look around and take it all in,” Tritt said. “Boston will forever be a part of me.”

Carroll takes the Bowling Green Hot Rods by storm Leonard Banks Sports Editor

Michelle Tritt finished the 2015 Boston Marathon with a personal best time of 3:28; 17 seconds faster than her 2014 performance.

Wilkerson’s

Three years ago, Damion Carroll had heads turning and the world in the palm of his hand. The King George alumni had contributed to a district championship, won a host of post-season athletic awards,was acknowledged by Baseball America as the top high school pitcher in Virginia and was selected in the sixth round of the Major League Baseball draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Nowadays, Carroll’s dreams of playing in the big leagues have risen. The 6-foot-4, 198-pound pitching prospect has jumped from two rookie league Tampa Bay Ray teams to the low-A Bowling Green Hot Rods in Kentucky. Along with a repertoire of off-speed pitches, his patented fastball has jumped from 94 mph to a consistent 100 mph. In regard to taking the next step up in his professional career, Carroll takes its all in stride, “It’s pretty easy, because it’s just baseball,” Carroll said. “All I have to do is work hard and try to get to the point where I need to be. The transition is not harder in terms of pitching but harder in terms of the grind because we have to play 140 games instead of a shortened season that consists of 60-plus games.” Impressed with Carroll’s tenac-

ity and warrior-like approach to the game, Hot Rod’s media relations director Daniel Reed said: “Although I’ve only seen him pitch a few times, I can tell that he’s got a real live arm. His fastball is the biggest pitch he commands, which is why he’s still here.” Last Wednesday, in the final inning of a double-header against the Drayton Dragons, Carroll led the Hot Rods to their seventh win of the season. Leading 1-0 in the final inning, Carroll had walked two batters, allowed a stolen base and threw a wild pitch that advanced runners to second and third. With one out to his credit, Carroll fanned the Dragons’ Gavin LaVelley and Jose Ortiz in consecutive atbats close out the game, and get his first professional save. Currently, the Hot Rods have a record of 10-7. Carroll has a minor league career ERA of 2.04. His current 1.50 ERA with the Hot Rods, includes five strike outs, one earned run, 10 walks and three hits in six innings. According to Carroll, his most exciting moment in his brief minor league career occurred during a spring training outing against Baltimore Orioles, where he closed out the ninth inning by getting three ground ball outs. “It was very exciting and probably one of the best days I’ve had,” Carroll said.

Leonard Banks Sports Editor On April 21 at Spotsylvania High School, the Spotsylvania Knights (3-4-1) defeated the King George (1-7) Foxes girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer team, 3-1. Sophomore midfielder Aubrie Jackson scored the first goal for the Knights at 25:51 of the first half. Prior to Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score, the Knights had dominated the field with six shot on goal compared to the Foxes two. Later in the first half, with 20:25 remaining, King George forward C.J. Jones outran Knights defender Heather Mills to score the Foxesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lone goal of the game, using a diving kick. At the start of the second half, senior Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; midfielder Jena Turner scored her teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second goal off an assist from Caitlynn Pittman. Later in the half, Turner would score the Knights final goal, at 21:28. Currently, Courtland is the top team in the conference with Eastern View having a firm hold on second place. As for King George, the 2015 season will serve as a rebuilding year with the future in the hands of a tal-

During the Courtland game, the junior varsity defeated Spotsylvania, 4-0. Currently, the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer program is young with a wealth of future potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have a lot of 10th graders this season (10), and I teach them stuff now so that it pays off next year and the year after,â&#x20AC;? said Foxesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; head coach, Jono Rollins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am teaching the new formations and new philosophies and getting away from the basic formations that have been run in the past.â&#x20AC;? After being on the road for the majority of the season, the Foxes soon will have the benefit of playing

at home. More importantly, the Foxes will have an opportunity to finish out the season with five consecutive home games. Throughout the season, the Foxes typically have trailed at the half by one or two goals; however, the opposition has capitalized on endurance issues in the second half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was hoping we would be a little bit further ahead in the season at the midway point, but after watching our performance in the last two games, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right there. Once we get the last piece of the puzzle in place, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to come out and shock a lot of teams,â&#x20AC;? Rollins said.

On Saturday, April 25, hundreds of supporters of physical fitness gathered at the King George YMCA to take part in the annual Healthy Kids Day event. Participants ran in the 5K or the one-mile race and took part in the numerous festivities provided the YMCA. The events included tips on healthy snacking, eye health, dental health, water safety, stress management, personal health assessment and maintaining healthy blood pressure. Other activities featured line dancing, gymnastics and a K9 demonstration. Throughout the 5K and onemile race, the local chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers assisted YMCA volunteers with timing and course officiating. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to bring awareness to the community for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and we also wanted to focus on health,â&#x20AC;? said Dwayne Nelson, president of the Potomac River Chapter of NSBE. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to show the community how we could utilize the technology we have today to improve or maintain your health with programs provided by the YMCA.

W&L varsity girls down Northumberland in Friday night soccer Richard Leggitt Washington & Lee High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lady Eagles varsity soccer team fell behind early but came back to score a 4-1 victory over Northumberland in Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s district match in Montross. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To come back from a 1-0 deficit at half and win 4-1 reveals character,â&#x20AC;? said Lady Eagles Soccer Coach Cole Vanover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a lot of the girls woke up and believe in hope. We talk about hope a lot. We will continue to work on getting better.â&#x20AC;? It was the Lady Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second win over Northumberland in 10 days. In Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game, the Northumberland girls were beating W&L to the ball early and winning almost every loose ball. Vanover urged his team

to make some noise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Let them hear you,â&#x20AC;? he said from the sidelines. Goalie Anna Sisson, a senior captain, led the chatter and in the second half the match began going W&Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way. Lorena Luna scored a goal and followed that up a few minutes later with another goal. Then Miquella Snider, a freshman forward, found the back of the net on a corner kick for another goal and as the Lady Eagles continued to press sophomore wing Ana Barajas had a great follow up left foot shot that went in for a goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Armani Henry, a forward, put a lot of pressure on Northumberland all night,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Vanover, who shouted encouragement to his team

throughout the match. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Armani did not score but she opened up a lot of gaps for other players.â&#x20AC;? Vanover praised the rest of his team as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dani Lopez did a great job in the middle of the field controlling the pace of the game and distributing the ball,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Defensively Katie Allen had a stout game. As did the entire defense, including Soley Nalls, Jessie Straughan and Amy Saunders.â&#x20AC;? This has been a rebuilding season for the Lady Eagles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are improved, no question,â&#x20AC;? said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis when asked about the team, which won only one game in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Watch how they play, watch how they move the ball, how they

Leonard Banks Sports Editor On April 23 at King George High School, Eastern View baseball head coach Daniel Nobbs said it best. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tonight shows that on any given day, or any night, anything can happen, and tonight was our night,â&#x20AC;? Nobb said after taking three hours and 45 minutes to defeat the Foxes, 15-10. For the Foxes, the loss did not affect their third-place record (8-2), while the win gave the Cyclones a huge boost in moral. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told the guys that we have to learn from this and go from here,â&#x20AC;? said King George head coach Thad Reviello. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By no means does this loss ruin our season. If someone had told me that we were going to win eight out of 10 games at this point in the season, I would be happy.â&#x20AC;? After losing eight games in a row, and suffering from the loss of three players out due to sickness, the Cyclones (3-9, 3-3) are fortunate to still be in the hunt for a post-season berth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our guys came with a great offensive approach,â&#x20AC;? Nobbs said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the best weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve hit all year. King George is one of the better teams in the league this season. Hopefully, this win will help us get the ball rolling and go back to playing Eastern View baseball with a young team.â&#x20AC;? Currently, the Foxes are tied for second place in the Conference

Outdoor Club Members Have a Busy Spring Mark Fike

ing their new lures they also were learning about what they might catch on the lures. A few weeks ago, I ran into Kenny Rand who oversees Virginia Animal Control. Rand and I went to school together and I know he is extremely knowledgeable about wildlife. His company responds to homeowners and landowners having issues with wildlife including raccoons, skunks, bats, snakes and many others Rand came by the middle school and spoke to our outdoor club about his job, the animals he has to deal with and the laws regarding removal of pests. He told a few interesting stories about his work, including a time he and a raccoon had a stare down in an attic. He also educated all of us on some of the laws regarding wildlife, such as bats and even some of the diseases they carry. After some discussion about his job and what it entails, students were able to go outside and actually see some of the traps and tools Rand uses for his job. Rand gave a very engaging presentation on his job and how animals can be safely removed from a home or property. The King George Outdoor Club is very grateful to local businesses and people in the area that have donated time, equipment and/ or money to help students learn about the outdoors. The club operates solely on the generosity of individuals and businesses, as well as the club leaders. With continued support from the community, we hope the club can grow and learn new things.

It has been awhile since we had an update on the King George Outdoor Club. This past week, select club members signed up to attend a lure-making event at King George Middle School. Kermett Adams, who is with Lure Parts Online, donated two dozen lure bodies and accessories to the club tto use in painting and assembling to catch our own fish. We finally got a chance to have a meeting to paint and assemble the lures last week. Eleven students showed up and quickly got busy choosing a lure body and color schemes to use. Club leaders Mike Woods, Matt Limbrick and Mark Fike explained to the students predator fish key in on various color schemes that mimic natural prey such as a frog or bright colors that anger them into striking. They suggested dots, big eyes, stripes, scale patterns and a red gill or mouth area as color schemes. With that knowledge, students went right to work painting. The lure paint was donated by Jannâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Netcraft. Some of the lures had rattles in the bodies for added attraction and some were built for deep diving. Others were jerkbaits or surface lures with wide mouths for splashing and drawing attention. The assortment of lures and their design was explained to the students. Various types of predators will be found feeding in different areas on different prey. So, while the students were paint-

Outdoor Report Mark and Missy Fike Fishing has been quite good despite the high and fast water in the Rappahannock and the dirty water in the Potomac. Hunting is hit or miss on the turkeys. Some hunters are doing very well. Some are not.

John Smith of the King George Outdoor Club carefully paints his lure.

Fishing Potomac Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the bass action has picked up noticeably. Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tackle in Spotsylvania reports Aquia Creek has been very good for crappie and white perch. Small minnows were the ticket. There were a half dozen citation white perch checked in. The bass fishing is very good in the creeks but tournament anglers are crowding them on weekends. If you want more peaceful conditions, fish during the week. Use spinnberbaits and plastic baits near vegetation. Fish the edges, particularly on an outgoing tide. Orange and crawfish colors were best this past week. Catfish continue to hit in the main river and now in the creeks. Rappahannock Riverâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Donna from Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tackle reported she heard very little on shad or herring this week. The river is very fast and somewhat high now. Given the rain we received Saturday it likely will be even higher at mid-weeks. There are lots of eating size catfish hitting right now. At Old Mill Park, the white perch are readily taking worms. Motts Run â&#x20AC;&#x201D; reported the reservoir is very high, and conditions should be improving as water is being discharged to level things

out. However, the crappie fishing is still very good. Minnows are the top baits. Fish the coves near the piers. Bluegill and sunfish are also willing customers. There are some nice catfish hitting chicken livers now as well. They are not renting boats yet with no docks to tie off to. Lake Annaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Fish Tales at Anna Point Marina reports very good fishing for bass and crappie. Things were even better before the cool spell set in. However, the bass fishing is still good. Fish flukes, jerkbaits, and spinnerbaits in shad or crappie colors. Crappie fishing on aquatic vegetation is still good. A crappie weighing 1 pound 12 ounces was taken. A bass weighing 8 pounds 8 ounces was caught. Lake Orange reportedly had good bass and crappie action in the shallows. Catfish are biting on chicken liver now. Pond action is very good for crappie and bass on small minnows. The bluegill will start biting as they approach spawn, likely after this weekend. Try crickets and hoppers if you can find them. Saltwater---The croaker finally are arriving in the lower rivers. There are not huge numbers but enough to think about heading out. Try Waterview, West Point and Smith Point areas for them. The striper bite in Maryland waters was tough this past week but some pretty fish were caught. Remember the slot limit. Trollers are taking nice fish on chartreuse and white-colored parachute rigs or Sassy Shads.

A Northern Neck couple purchased this buggy seat at an antiques shop many years ago, at which time they painted it blue. They bought it as an antique, but now have doubts about its age. They also regret painting the piece, and want to remove the paint. From the photograph, I am skeptical Henry Lane about this piece Hull being an antique. I rather suspect that it is a cabinetmaker’s fanciful attempt to reproduce one. I doubt the seat is over 50 years old, and ask whether it had a previous coat of paint when they bought it? The shape indicates more of a permanent seat designed for a hall or mud room in which one would sit to change shoes or boots. As the owners have indicated, the blue paint is not historically accurate, as the seat originally would have been painted in colors consistent with the overall design of the buggy for which it was built. If the original finish was a type of varnish, this seat is probably a relatively modern reproduction. Stripping the paint could do not harm, as it is not original. Underneath the present coat, one might find vestiges of the original color, which could give an indication of Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control 2901 Hermitage Road / P.O.

the age and purpose for which it was made, i.e., whether to have been a buggy seat or a piece of furniture for a house or porch. As to current value, depending on what turns up after stripping, as a reproduction, the seat is worth $75, assuming the wood shows no signs of rot or other deterioration. If lettering is unfolded that can confirm the original use as a buggy seat, the value would be over twice that amount. In either case the seat has good lines, and makes for interesting conversation. Items such as this one usually sell well at auction, especially in horse country where bidders should know what its original purpose was.

This display adorns the grounds at the birthplace of President James Monroe. Plans are underway to construct a trail honoring Monroe.

Monroe: Plans call for building new scenic trail From page 1 accomplished what Monroe did,” said Westmoreland Supervisor Woodrow Hynson. “He was a great president, Secretary of War, Secretary of State, governor and statesman.” A Revolutionary War hero who was wounded at the Battle of Trenton, the tall, lanky Monroe studied law under Thomas Jefferson. Monroe was a delegate to the Continental Congress, a member of the first U.S. Congress, a U.S. Senator from Virginia and a governor of Virginia. Monroe, the last founding father to win the presidency, is known

as the architect of the Monroe Doctrine. He also negotiated the Louisiana Purchase, bought Florida from Spain and began America’s first efforts at building a global empire. Monroe served two terms as President, winning election in 1816 and 1820. Monroe was one of three American Presidents born in the area. The nation’s first president, George Washington, was born in Westmoreland County. The country's fourth president, James Madison, was born nearby at Belle Grove in King George County.

Colonial Beach Council ponders school construction costs Linda Farneth The Colonial Beach Town Council debated the budget impact of building a new school at its April 23 budget work session. Colonial Beach school officials want to build a new permanent elementary school by 2017. Superintendent Dr. Kevin Newman estimates a cost of $9.2 to $9.6 million. Newman has stressed that the new school will provide a better

learning environment for the town’s elementary school children. Mayor Mike Ham noted that the town already pays $260,000 annually in rent for the “mod pods” that currently house the elementary school.
