The driver of the tractor-trailer was not injured in the crash and has not been charged. Reber, who frequently traveled the Westmoreland County back roads on his Cannondale Supersix bicycle, was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Honoring America’s lost warriors: Davey’s Battle Brothers Ride 2015 set for Aug. 15 Linda Farneth

Jim Bell , Jimmy Brinkley and Edward Lewis stand next to the grave of Sgt. David Ruhen while Scott McMillion sings “Drink a Beer” by Luke Bryan during a ceremony at the 2014 Davey’s Battle Brothers Ride The annual ride, which runs from Fredericksburg to Quantico Cemetery to Manassas raises money to help the families of America’s killed and wounded warriors.
Sonja Ruhen has turned the tragedy of her son’s sacrifice into an opportunity to pay tribute to all those who America has lost, honor those who serve and raise money for veterans by hosting Davey’s Battle Brothers Ride 2015 on Aug. 15 starting at the Mason-Ruhen Readiness Center National Guard Armory “Dec 21, 2004 was a day that changed the lives of so many. It left some with so many questions and others in a place of non-belief,” Ruhen said. “This was a day when a suicide bomber walked into a mess hall in Mosul Iraq filled with American soldiers and ignited a bomb. That was the day our country mourned the loss of 14 amazing lives and left so many others with injuries that in some cases may never heal. Those of us who were hit the hardest were those who lost the most, our husbands, uncles, brothers and child.” On that fateful day Sgt. David
Allen Ruhen, a native of Stafford County, was standing amongst the 14 American soldiers that were killed in that mess hall. Since that day, Ruhren has continued to support America’s protectors and honor its fallen soldiers. One of the events Ruhren created was “Davey’s Ride” in 2007 – a motorcycle ride that helps raise funds for wounded warriors and their families. Throughout the years “Davey’s Ride” has helped college-bound high school graduates on their paths to reaching their goals with scholarships. It’s helped children of fallen soldiers ensure a nice Christmas and it has raised funds for “Hope For The Warriors” In 2014, the 10-year anniversary of the loss of Sgt. Ruhen, the ride was renamed to “Davey’s Battle Brothers Ride” to let it be known that this ride supports and honors all of America’s military service members past, present and future. Since that year the ride has raised funds for “Serve Our Willing Warriors.”
For over seven years SOWW has been in operation helping wounded and ill soldiers feel a little taste of home during their stays at Walter Reed and Fort Belvior Community Hospital. Annual events include gift-giving at holidays, summer cookouts and visitation with lonely service members and family members. To learn more about SOWW go to willingwarriors.org. Ruhen said, Davey’s Battle Brothers Ride is not only to raise funds. It has become an opportunity for all to come together in a day of remembrance, a day of honor, a day of respect, but mostly it’s a day to say thank you and “You will never be forgotten” to those who have died in defense of America. This year’s ride will start at Fredericksburg’s recently renamed “Mason-Ruhren Readiness Center,” so named in honor of Sgt. Ruhren and Sgt. Nicholas Mason of King George,
Downtown Colonial Beach Steering Committee seeks non-profit status Linda Farneth The Downtown Colonial Beach Steering Committee is now operating with a board of directors, complete with officers. The group made the move in order to apply for incorporation and non-profit status. Downtown Colonial Beach was organized to carry out the work of revitalization after grant money has been used to carry out initial improvements. The town has been approved for two revitalization grants. The Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development has granted the town a Revitalization Block Grant in the amount of $747,000 to revitalize downtown Colonial Beach. Meanwhile, the Virginia Department of Transportation has awarded the town a Transportation Alternative Project (TAP) Grant in the amount of $542,000 to install a pedestrian plaza at the end of Colonial Avenue.
The first phase of revitalization will not only change the physical appearance in the downtown area, but will also seek to change the economy as well. By forming an organization to market and promote the Historic Resort Commercial Boardwalk area and by offering small business loans, town leaders hope tourism will increase and job opportunities will open up. After both grants have been implemented, the downtown area stretching from Washington Avenue to the boardwalk and from Colonial Avenue to Hawthorne Street will have undergone a complete make over. Pedestrian plazas will be placed at Colonial Avenue and Hawthorne to frame out the downtown area. Decorative street lamps and furniture will line the streets and boardwalk. Repaving of the boardwalk where needed and expansion of pedestrian areas will help alleviate congestion
during busy tourist weekends. Downtown Colonial Beach will follow “Main Street” guidelines to maintain the work done in the project area and continue helping to grow business in Colonial Beach after the projects have been completed. Main Street is a national concept that promotes historic preservation and community to foster revitalization. The four-step plan uses organization, promotion, design and economic restructuring activities to help localities find their historical niche and build on their natural resources to attract tourism. Roughly 15 members now make up the board of directors and officers for the Downtown Colonial Beach Steering Committee. The group will attend two workshops in August. Tourism Development Specialist, Sandra Tanner of the Virginia Tourism Corporation will conduct two visioning workshops to brainstorm ways to bring tourism into the town.

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS
How about Mark Warner for Vice President? By David S. Kerr
Years ago when then former Governor and now Sen. Mark Warner was thinking about running for President, I was on-board with his campaign. Indeed, most V i r g i n i a Democrats readily listed themselves as Warner for President David S. Kerr Supporters. But that campaign, while off to a good start, didn’t go that far. Barrack Obama
and Hillary Clinton quickly crowded out any other prospective nominees. Since then, Warner has gone on to the Senate, served a full term and was recently reelected. So, what about Warner for President? Is it a viable notion? I wrote a column last year saying that if Hillary Clinton’s campaign were to have a meltdown that Warner should be the Democratic “go to” guy. I still think so. That is, if the Clinton campaign were to derail, but here it is late summer, the first caucuses are in a few months and Hillary’s campaign is in good shape. Yes, she is slipping a bit from her once lofty poll numbers, but with the clown car of Republican hopefuls, actually more of a clown bus, all she
Op Ed Trump; Right on McCain One definition of a hero: “….a man who is endowed with great courage and strength…..” It is curious how the Washington establishment “news” media and personalities (Brit Hume, Charles Krauthamer, Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, et al), the Presidential wantto-be’s (Rick Perry, Jeb Bush, Marko Rubio, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich, etc), and McCain himself, jump on the anti-Trump bandwagon. They take Trump’s words twist them, cherry pick them, make up a few, and charge that Trump is insulting McCain’s service, all veterans, former POW’s, and all military when he took on John McCain for being a lousy legislator. In my opinion Donald Trump is right, and he does not bow down to politically correct speech. He tells the truth; bluntly and non-apologetically, which is far more than any current politician does. A little background on John S. McCain III. He graduated from the U.S. Naval academy in 1958, 5th from last in his class of 899, and achieved the reputation for being a non-conformist. Proud of being the
founder of the unofficial club, “The Bad Boys”. His grandfather , John McCain Sr, was a 4-star Admiral. John III was actively shepherded through the Academy and his Naval Career by his father, also a 4-star Admiral. Naval aviator John McCain III was shot down over Vietnam in October 1967 and spent 5 years in a Vietnamese prison. He refused early release from prison offered to him in 1968 while his father was CINCPACFLT, in charge of executing the Naval war in the Pacific. His refusal was the right thing to do, for had he accepted, his name and future would have been irreparably damaged. Fellow POW’s, active duty forces and retired veterans worldwide would have been greatly insulted and belittled at his release because of his father’s position. It is my opinion that every Naval Aviator, Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps pilot who flew combat missions in Vietnam displayed extraordinary courage, strength, and unmatched bravery on a day to day basis. Especially those hundreds who were shot down, captured, tortured spending time in Vietnamese prisons. My Academy classmate and
needs to do is be quiet and let the GOP President Wannabes pummel themselves. Now, back to Warner. He’s our home town boy. What’s not to like about that? Mind you, not everyone has been thrilled with him all of the time. The 2014 election was pretty tough. Some might argue the thinness of his win, about 15,000 votes, might have damaged his chances at a national bid. But, really, I don’t think so. Not one single open senate seat in 2014 was captured by a Democrat while a long list incumbent Democrats went down to defeat. Warner was one of the very few survivors. Getting through that election night in one piece should
say something about his ability to win an election. However, all that’s in the past and Warner is one of the few Democrats who could bring something unique to the Clinton ticket. In spite of the GOP desire to label him as a liberal, he’s a moderate. That would help balance the ticket to some degree. Indeed, it might make a notional Clinton/Warner ticket more palatable to swing voters. He is also from a state that Clinton needs to win. Virginia has proven an important battle ground in the last two elections and will be again in 2016. And having a favorite son on the national ticket just might make it winnable. Right now, Hillary lags in
Naval Aviator, Leo Hyatt, spent the longest time in one of those prisons, after his VIGILANTI RA5C was shot down in August 1967. I classify all of these airmen as “Heros”. Most of them receive very little press from the so-called news media. It is not possible, nor appropriate, to treat any of these POW’s as more courageous than others. F. C. Dugan III Hague, Virginia
If you’re a dragonfly geek, this is one of the best places in the country to be,” said Kevin Munroe, manager of Huntley Meadows Park in Northern Virginia and creator of DragonfliesNVA.com. “Some of the parks in this area may have some of the highest numbers of dragonfly species in the whole country.” Munroe’s website reports that 83 species have been recorded in Northern Virginia. He’s counted 25 different species in one day. They range from the region’s tiny little blue dragonlet, which measures 0.75 inches, to the comet darner and dragonhunter that measure about 3.5 inches long. The Bay’s overall landscape, with marshes and shallow streams, provides ideal habitat for the predatory fliers that lay their eggs in the water. The Bay also boasts a high concentration of “dragonfly nuts” who lead surveys, mostly at parks, throughout the region, from April to October, when dragonfly and butterfly populations are at their peak. A field guide will do the trick for identifying most of the dragonflies. ies for starters. Most Go out andInsurance search for dragons, flies that is. Accepted Distributed by Bay Journal News Service
These winged wonders are fun to find By Whitney Pipkin Dragonflies, like most insects that appear aplenty in the summer, flourish where there’s plenty of water, sun and perches for resting their wings. But, unlike the season’s other crop of insects that bite or buzz in your eyes, dragonflies actually diminish summer’s worst pests — think mosquitoes, gnats, wasps and even stinkbugs — by snacking on them. Dragonfly enthusiasts prize the four-winged creatures for their beauty and rarity as much as their eating habits, and they say the Chesapeake Bay watershed is as good a place as any to become an enthusiast.

Virginia. Also, having a moderate Democrat on the ticket, might help in some of the border states as well as in some of the Democratic-leaning states like Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan. This is all a bit fanciful at the moment. So much depends on the Clinton campaign’s interpretation of the political landscape. What will it look like in a year or so? That’s impossible to predict. But Warner is one of those guys the Democrats need to have more of. He’s practical, business-oriented, and isn’t afraid to talk to the other side. People like to say that this unwillingness to get to know legislative members of the opposite party is exclusively a Republican problem. Well, it isn’t.
Democrats can be just as obtuse. Warner however, isn’t like that. He’s worked with GOP members, and belongs to a group called the “gang of six,” three Democrats and three Republicans who are working to find ways to deal with the deficit. The partisanship frustrates Warner no end, but he knows getting past that is important to the future of the country. So, while I have might have put my lone advocacy of a Warner for President Campaign on hold, I am holding out hope that the Hillary folks might take a good close look at Warner. It would make their combined ticket one of the most experienced and one of the best tested in a long time.

2015 American Legion summer baseball season ends for King George Post 89 Leonard Banks Sports Editor King George Post 89’s 15-4 District 12 finals loss to Albermarle Post 74 July 21 may have put a damper on their successful 16-5 American Legion summer season record, but the King George-based organization remains stronger than ever. After a one-season absence, and having one of his best seasons, King George Post 89 head baseball coach Al Landino is happy with his team’s success. “I am very proud of my kids,” Landino said. “The season exceeded my expectations. I expected to come back a little green. I didn’t expect to be this far along after taking a year off.” Prior to the championship game, Post 89 defeated Courtland Post 55, 11-10, July 20 in a 10-inning thriller that left players and fans dripping with sweat — and exhaustion. “That game had a lot of emotion — more emotion than I’ve seen in a long time during a baseball game,” Landino said. “You could cut the tension with a knife in the ninth and tenth innings.” With two outs in the top of the 10th, King George took an 11-10 lead as Austin Halter belted a two-
out RBI single into right field that scored Drew Berry. “It was a huge rush of adrenalin for me because I just lowered the bat and took an outside pitch down the line — possibly by an inch more it would have been a foul ball,” Hal-
bag. I just needed to concentrate and throw strikes.” Both teams combined for 22 hits, including five extra base hits. King George used three pitchers (Miles Levere, Drew Berry, Jacob Sivak, while Courtland relied on Collin Hess, Jacob Seibert and Travis Riley. All District 12 tournament games took place at Legion Field in Spotsylvania. As for Albemarle, they will advance to the State Championship, which is scheduled for July 28-29. With the exception of American Legion standout Jordi Estes aging out at 20, the – Post 89 Coach Al Landino team should return most of the same squad in 2016. Estes, was the heart and soul of Post 89 this season. Not only has he shown ter said. Although Post 55 rallied from an consistency by missing just two eight-run (10-2) deficit to tie the games in five seasons, but also his game 10-10 in the bottom of the ability as a leadoff hitter to get on eighth, Halter’s teammate, Jacob base and create scoring situations is Sivak, preserved Post 89’s lead in legendary. Estes finished the 2015 the final inning by forcing three of season with a .353 batting average. “Its going to be hard to replace the final four batters into fly outs. Sivak’s normal position is catcher; Jordi; he is a great athlete,” Landino however, he stepped up when his said. “He made some great plays in the outfield in Monday night’s game teamed needed him most. “I was a little nervous, but I knew against Courtland to get us into the I had a good defense behind me,” finals.” Sivak said. “I knew we had it in the

Five-year American Legion baseball veteran and lead-off hitter Jordi Estes will be a tough player to replace next year for King George Post 89. Estes had a .353 batting average during the 2015 season.
KGHS alumni help fellow classmates Leonard Banks Sports Editor Whether its celebrating a Battlefield District Championship or simply reaching back to help a fellow classmate in need, four King George High School alumni have decided to give back using a basketball tournament as a fundraiser. On Aug. 14 -15, the first annual Get Buckets, Give Back co-ed basketball tournament will take place at King George Middle School (old KGHS). On Friday (Aug. 14) games will begin at 7 and 8 p.m. On the following day, the games will starts at 9 a.m. and finish when the clock runs out. The masterminds behind the event are KGHS alumni Sharese Rishmawi, Shannon Tolliver, Niki BernardesTaylor and Lashay Rose. Tolliver, Bernardes-Taylor and Rose were members of the Foxes basketball team that won on the 2001 district and regional championship. Last year, the aforementioned foursome decided to help a fellow 2002 alumni by organizing a basketball tournament, named Hooping for Kaiden. The money raised from the event provided medical aid for the alumni’s son who suffered from an auto immune deficiency disease. “We did raise a good amount of money and when God placed another classmate in need before us this

This year’s recipient tragically lost her premature two-week old daughter. The foursome decided help her with the expenses associated with medical bills and memorial service expenses. The event will feature six teams and a group of volunteer referees, including Riverbend boys’ head basketball coach Eric Davis. Each team will feature seven males and one fe-
male. The master of ceremonies will be former KGHS football and track & field standout and 2002 alumni Joey Coleman.

Sharks undefeated for season

Our Girls Swimmer of the Week is 8-year old Deborah Fairfax. This is Deborah’s third year on the team. She also swims year-round with the Rappahannock Raiders. Deborah works hard at practice every day, and it shows in the meets. You can always count on Deborah to place first in two of her three individual events in every single meet. Last week against Chancellor, she placed first in the 25-meter free with a time of 18.68, and first in the 25-meter breast with a time of 28.93. Her true value comes with her fast freestyle. As anchor for the 8 and Under Girls 100-meter free relay, she has helped them remain unbeaten the entire season. The same goes for the 18 and Under Girls 125-meter graduated free relay — because of Deborah’s fast start, the team has also remained undefeated for the entire season. Deborah believes in team work and puts forth her best effort every time. Our Boys Swimmer of the Week has been with the Sharks for four years. Ten-year old Braden Sembower works hard at practice. He has also spent one or two years swimming for the Rappahannock Raiders. After the first meet of this season, Braden was willing to be aged up to swim individual events with the 1112 boys and also help them with the 100-meter free relay team. Braden usually places fourth or fifth in this age group; but at the meet with Grafton, Braden placed second in the 50-meter fly (55.56), first in the 50-meter back (50.90), and third in the 50-meter breast (59.88). That’s quite an accomplishment and shows just how much of a team player Braden is. He has been willing to swim in everything his coach asked without complaint.
The Dahlgren Sharks completed their 2015 dual meet season at the King George YMCA 25-meter pool by soundly defeating the Chancellor Blue Dolphins, 324-177. The Sharks scored more than 300 points in every meet this summer, and this victory capped an undefeated season and earned the team its fifth American Division title. The first division title came in 1998, winning again in 2000, 2004 and 2007. The 11-12 girls 100-meter freestyle relay team sweetened the victory by, again, breaking the RSL record for that event. They swam that event with a time of 59.70, besting the time set by Leeland Station by a mere .08 seconds. The girls had broken the record at the first meet against Hopyard, only to find out that Leeland station, on the very same night, had broken the record the Sharks had just set. Our girls worked hard over the next few weeks and “set the record straight” last week against Chancellor. There were six triple winners at the Chancellor meet: Andrew Stuart (8) (25 free – 33.77, 25 fly – 25.53, 25 breast – 27.35); Caroline Bentz (12) – (50 free – 28.50, 50 fly – 32.38, 50 breast – 38.25); Johnathan Dates (12) – (50 free – 33.77, 50 fly – 42.34, 50 back – 42.90); Jenna Kapp (12) – (100 free – 1:06.99, 50 back – 34.90, 100 IM – 1:15.81); Tamara Wheater (14) – (100 free – 1:06.57, 50 fly – 35.50, 100 IM – 1:16.87); and Alex Poley (14) – (50
free – 28.88, 50 fly – 32.68, 50 back – 34.82). In addition to the triple winners and double first-place finishes, there were nine Dahlgren sweeps recorded, where the Sharks placed first, second and third. The following also earned firstplace finishes: Jayson Wofford (5) (25 free – 25.99); Katie Poley (7) (25 fly – 26.43, 25 back – 25.08); Ben Tidwell (7) – (25 back – 26.18); Deborah Fairfax (8) (25 free – 18.68, 25 breast – 28.93); Seth Christensen (10) (25 fly – 19.03, ); (25 fly - Tori Foringer (9) (25 free – 15.29, 25 back – 20.16); Nick Pacheck (9) (25 free – 17.74, 25 back – 22.54); Gabrielle Bricker (13) (50 back – 40.21); Ben Foringer (14) 950 breast – 39.34); Emily Tidwell (16) (50 breast – 45.37); (Madison Declute (17) (50 fly - 35.08, 50 back – 38.13); Deonte Taleton (17) (50 free – 26.77). The relay teams took 10 out of a possible 16 relays and six relay teams remain undefeated for the dual meet season. Relay team first place finishes were as follows (undefeated teams are marked with an asterisk): *8 and Under girls 100 free (Katie Poley, Ryann Anderson, Julie Foringer, Deborah Fairfax) (1:30.40); *9-10 girls 100 free (Reyna Cusworth, Maria Poley, Sarah Green, Tori Foringer) (1:18.87); *9-10 boys 100 free (Nick Pacheck, Seth Christensen, Braden Sembower, Andrew Green)(1:14.94); *1112 girls 100 free (Becca Tidwell, Carter Wasser, Jenna Kapp, Caroline Bentz)(59.70); Boys 13-14 100 free (Ben Foringer, Dylan Phipps,
Eddie Tidwell, Alex Poley)(58.67); Girls 15-18 100 free (Madison Declute, Kriscia Christensen, Brittney Burrell, Emily Tidwell)(1:04.07); *12 and Under girls Medley (Carter Wasser, Jenna Kapp, Caroline Bentz, Becca Tidwell)(1:07.03); Girls 13-18 Senior Medley (Madison Declute, Tamara Wheater, Kriscia Christensen, Emily Tidwell)(1:11.12); *Girls 18 & under Graduated (Deborah Fairfax, Tori Foringer, Caroline Bentz, Tamara Wheater, Emily Tidwell)(1:19.56); and Boys 18 & under Graduated (Andrew Stuart, Andrew Green, Johnathan Dates, Alex Poley, Deonte Taleton) (1:21.38). The last meet of the season is the Championship Meet (formerly known as Finals) scheduled for Aug. 1. The Sharks will be hosting this meet at the YMCA. All teams from the American Division (Chancellor, College Heights, Dahlgren, Grafton, Lake of the Woods, and Lee’s Hill) will compete. The morning session is for swimmers ages 10 and younger, beginning at 8 a.m., and the afternoon session for swimmers ages and 11 and older begins at 11:40 a.m.

Fisherman has close encounter with the Fish in the Brown Suit into the middle of the bay and find structure, such as a shoal, lumps, the CBBT or Bluefish Rock (actually lots of large, smooth rocks on the bottom where bluefish are often found just north of the James River mouth). Anglers will anchor on such fishing grounds, get a huge bucket of ground menhaden and begin chumming up a slick to attract the fish. Of course, many other fish and sharks and rays join in the party making for an interesting time. Anglers will typically put a few lines out on large floats or balloons near the surface, and then put a few lines on the bottom to cover both areas. The bottom rigs often get hit by sharks. The second way requires a seaworthy boat with a tower on it. The purpose of the tower is to put an angler and spotter up high where the glare from the water is more easily cut. While wearing polarized glasses and scanning around the boat, the spotter/anglers look for large, brown,
Mark Fike My fishing experiences throughout my life include offshore anglering in the deep blue canyons for yellowfin and Bluefin tuna, deep dropping for seabass and flounder, inshore angling for reds, drum, croaker, blues, rock, Spanish, flounder, seabass, spades, amberjack and more. However, I had never landed the fish in the brown suit. Who is the fish in the brown suit? It is Mr. Cobia. Cobia go by a lot of names elsewhere, including Ling, Lemon Fish, Sergeant Fish, and Crab Eater. These massive fish resemble catfish when you view them swimming on the surface. They look like a big flathead minus the whiskers. The powerful torpedoshaped body makes them a favorite gamefish come summertime for anglers in the Chesapeake Bay region. Fishing for cobia is done two very different ways. Some anglers go out
the hook popped free and the fish took off. I got the fight but not the fish. My cobia won that battle at the last second. Cobia tips Use a medium-heavy spinning rod for sight casting and a solid baitcaster for bait fishing. 8/0 circle hooks are the easiest to use. 80-100 lb test braid line is recommended with a mono leader of approximately three feet tied direction to the lure or hook. Cobia have sharp teeth. Gaff fish that are more than 40 inches and net those that are questionable. Ice fish immediately and bleed them through the gills to improve the taste. Use a small tire thumper to put the fish out as they are powerful and can hurt you even on the deck of the boat. Remember, one fish per person of more than 37 inches. Polarized glasses are a must if sight fishing.
torpedo looking fish cruising the surface. If the bay is flat, it is sunny and there are plenty of fish, the sight fishing method is very productive. If it is cloudy or there is chop or swells, the sight fishing can be very tough. Once a fish is spotted, the captain quickly moves close enough to cast. The angler lobs a live eel or a bucktail jig toward the fish and hopes it will take the bait. Jigs are worked furiously. The eels are left to squirm on their own. One thing both methods have in common is the need for patience. Sometimes fish are seen within minutes of arriving at the fishing grounds. Sometimes it is hours. Sometimes fish are seen but refuse to bite no matter what is lobbed to them. On my trip last week, the fishing was a great mix of all of the above. The bay was flat for much of the day. We had mostly sunny skies, it was warm but not horribly so, and there
were fish to be seen. Within five minutes of arriving at Latimer Shoals on the eastern portion of the bay, a huge cobia was spotted. A lively eel was slung in his direction and he immediately grabbed the eel and took off. One of our party started fighting the fish and eventually muscled it to the boat where it was quickly gaffed and slung on the deck. It measured 51 inches and weighed about 51 pounds. With a fish on the deck inside 10 minutes of arriving at the fishing area, we thought we were in fat city. The cobia had other ideas. After what seemed like a long lull, another fish was hooked and landed. It was smaller but still a very nice fish weighing more than 25 pounds. A third fish came a little while after that but was a few inches short of the minimum 37 inches. Then it was my turn. A huge fish rivaling the first one was spotted and everything under the sun was
thrown to it without any interest. The fish eventually disappeared. Finally, a fish sucked in a live eel and I got to fight the fish. At first, the fish fought decently and came topside. We all saw the fish, saw the eel hanging from its mouth and then I began working the fish toward the boat. A switch was thrown because that fish suddenly decided the boat was not the place it wanted to be. The reel began screaming and whining as the braid began peeling off in earnest. There was nothing I could do except hold on, keep the rod bowed and wait. The fish seemed to dive straight to the bottom.After several minutes, I was able to begin working the fish upwards in short pumps of the rod. I would pump the rod up some, crank the reel and repeat. Several times the fish peeled off more line. However, just as the gaff came out and the fish was almost in position,
deeper pools near boulders and logs. Long casts with live bait will work best followed by flukes and crayfish imitations. Sunfish action is better near logs in shallower water. Near dark, both species will move to riffles to feed actively. Catfish are quite abundant upstream from Frederickburg and can be seen in the pools. Use polarized glasses and dunk chicken liver toward them. Motts Run Reservoir — The next night catfishing event is from 7 p.m.1 a.m. on Aug. 14. Lake Anna — The striper bite is reportedly good at first light for 20to 24-inch fish but shuts off quickly. Look for feeding fish all over the lake
but less uplake than down. Saltwater — The croaker bite is quite good in the lower tidal rivers. Spot are being caught with more regularity. Striper are no shows for the most part. The cobia bite reportedly peaked and may be waning soon. The Spanish bite continues to be red hot off Rudee Inlet and even to Deltaville on some days. Some king macks were caught off the oceanfront last week. Spadefish are still picky but available. Flounder continue to take live spot and long strips of cutbait over structure. Big reds are in the lower bay and cruising around structures too.
Croaker seem to be a bit larger this past week. Try squid (pictured) for the larger fish in water 20-25 feet deep near drop offs.
Outdoor Report cutbait for the most part in various depths. Fish around lighthouses or ledges for the best results. Rappahannock River — Catfish action continues to be great for eating-sized fish. Cutbait continues to be the top bait followed by shrimp and then worms. There are numerous gar in the river from Fredericksburg on down. Bass are hitting small shad and minnows on top near dark but getting them to hit a different bait is a different challenge. Look for bream back in creeks near overhangs and logs. Upriver the action should be quite good if the rain Monday did not foul it up. Look for smallies to hold in
Mark & Missy Fike The Rappahannock was in good shape at the beginning of the week. Fishing is still quite good although fishing in the middle of the day is not productive for most species. Potomac River — Bass fishing reportedly was best early and late on topwater. Frog colors are working well. Perch are hitting on bars and shoals. Any bait will work with none really preferred. Croaker seemed to be a bit bigger this week with some fish around Cobb Island reaching 16 inches. Squid and shrimp are the go-to baits. Catfish seem to be hitting

This small French sideboard comes from a lady in New York who inherited it from her parents. The father was German and the mother French. The latter brought the piece with her when she immigrated to America. The wood is walnut and both the Henry Lane finish and hardHull ware are original. French Provincial furniture such as this piece remains popular in today’s market, but as with many other antiques, values have declined since the onset of the recession. The design here is typical of the 18th and early 19th
centuries. The form of the two door panels, and the apron fits the classic description of that motif. Knowing the provenance through family tradition adds to the authenticity, but is difficult to quantify when placing a value. Although the piece is not rare, because of the originality and fine condition, this piece is worth $750. The diminutive size increases its desirability in that it can fit into spaces larger examples could not. As I have noted in previously, the most popular French furniture, and therefore the most expensive, is that of the Empire period, the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte, who proclaimed himself Emperor of the French in the wake of the French Revolution.

inspiration in all matters cultural. A piece such as this chest is in direct opposition to the French Empire style. The less-refined carving and the more coarsely formed hinges and other hardware would not have found favor in the Empire Period. In the present case I caution against any thought of refinishing, and suggest instead simply keeping the finish well waxed. As sunlight appears to have taken some of the color from the wood, I further suggest keeping it away from direct sunlight. Happy Antiquing!

Commonwealth sets back-to-school season sales tax holiday for Aug. 7-9 Phyllis Cook Shoppers are encouraged to save themselves some money by shopping during the weekend of Aug. 7-9. That’s when this year’s Virginia sales tax holiday for clothing and school supplies will take place. Virginia shoppers can save the general sales tax of 5.3 percent, and 6 percent when shopping in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads localities, during the upcoming sales tax holiday on a wide variety of items. During the sales tax holiday period for clothing and school supplies, consumers may make tax-free purchases of school supplies with a selling price of $20 or less per item and articles of clothing with a selling price of $100 or less per article. With school starting earlier this year in King George, on Aug. 24, the sales tax holiday comes just in time to prepare for purchasing school supplies and clothing items. There are numerous items exempt from sales tax even for those with no children in school. Many of the eligible items are used in home offices or by artists and musicians.
And various items of clothing and shoes are likewise exempt as long as they have a selling price of $100 or less per article. School Supplies Virginia defines school supplies as items commonly used by a student in a course of study. The item need not be intended for use in school, nor actually be used in school activities to qualify for the exemption. So long as the item appears on the state-approved list, does not exceed the threshold cost of $20 per item, and is purchased during the sales tax holiday period, the purchase will not be subject to sales tax and use tax. The following items that are included in the term “school supplies” and are therefore, exempt from tax during the sales tax holiday period: Binder pockets, binders, blackboard chalk, book bags, calculators, , cellophane tape, clay and glazes, compasses, composition books, crayons, dictionaries and thesauruses, dividers, erasers (including dry erase marker erasers and dry erase marker cleaning solutions), foldersexpandable, pocket, plastic, and manila, glue, paste, and

Computers do not qualify as “school supplies.”
Examples include a wide range of items from household and shop aprons, baby clothes and bathing suits to wedding apparel and veils and lots of items in between.
Clothing and shoes Clothing means any article of wearing apparel and typical footwear intended to be worn on or about the human body if their sales price is $100 or less per item.
