Operation Strike Zone nets drugs, 15 arrests Linda Farneth Operation Strike Zone, executed at approximately 4 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1, resulted in the arrest of 15 suspects. Narcotics and an automobile were seized during the operation. Westmoreland Sheriff C.O. Balderson said the arrests were a long time coming. “The investigation began about 5 months ago.” he said. “A lot of intense work and planning has to go into these operations. “We have to make sure that everyone involved goes home safely. That includes not only the officers, but the suspects as well. We want to make sure those folks are safe too.” Balderson said tips received by his office, whether in-person, through email or via telephone calls, are crucial to programs such as Operation Strike Zone. “That’s the key, is folks letting us know what they see or hear,” he said. “We act on it. If the information pans out we can go the next step.” Balderson said many times these drug bust operations result in solving other crimes. Where there is drug use there is usually other criminal activity involved. Drugs such as prescription medications are often stolen during home invasions. But many times these crimes can only be solved with help from observant residents. “Without community

involvement it makes it harder for us to, in turn help the community,” Balderson said. “We rely a lot on information from the community so we can do our part.” The following suspects were arrested during Operation Strike Zone: Curtis A. Bowen, 28 Oak Grove VA, arrested in Washington, D.C on a fugitive warrant (pending extradition) Christopher A. Bowen, 28, NNRJ, Warsaw VA, one count each of distribution and conspiracy to distribute a Schedule 1 or 2 controlled substance, namely Oxycodone. No bond. Curtis O. Brooks, 34, of Montross, VA, four counts of distribution of a Schedule 1 or 2 controlled substance namely crack cocaine (second offense) and two counts of distributing the same (second offense). No bond. Abraham Campbell, 44, of NNRJ, Warsaw, VA. Two counts of distribution of a Schedule 1 or 2 controlled substance namely crack cocaine (third offense). No bond. Henry E. Doss, 51, of Colonial Beach, one count of distribution of a Schedule 1 or 2 controlled substance namely methadone (third offense) and one count of conspiring to distribute the same. No bond. Lisa M. Foster, 40, of Colonial See RAID, page 8

Storm’s winds, rain, wreak havoc on area festivals

Staff Report The area stretching from King George to Montross was blessed to avoid a direct hit last weekend from Hurricane Joaquin. But the the high-pressure system that kept the hurricane at bay drenched the region with rain, leading to some flooding and causing delays of planned events. Colonial Beach sustained minimal flooding damage, some signs along the beach were displaced and some debris washed ashore. Residents lost power for about an hour Friday evening. Mattox Creek Bridge was closed temporarily during high tides. Town officials chose not to activate any of its shelters. “The Westmoreland County Administration Offices/EOC will be staffed throughout the night (Friday) to receive calls and requests

from agency coordinators and that includes the Town of Colonial Beach and the Town of Montross. We will coordinate with Westmoreland County tomorrow and plan for the next several days,” Colonial Beach Town Manager Val Foulds wrote in an email to the town council. Jill Tighe, Colonial Beach’s wastewater treatement plant supervisor said, the department had tested generators, topped off fuel tanks and ensured it had adequate chemicals on site and emptied the digester for sludge. A complete cleaning and inspection of the sludge tank was performed and personnel were on standby for 24-hour coverage if needed. Although wind caused some problems, water was the primary challenge for other communities along the Potomac River such as Fairview

Photos (l-r) by Linda Farneth & Richard Leggitt The Nor’easter that blew across Virginia from Oct. 1-4 knocked down signs and washed up debris in Colonial Beach. It also forced the Dockside Restaurant to close until the foul weather blew over. The high pressure system spared Virginia a direct hit from Hurrican Joaquinn, but still dumped bucketloads of rain on the state, causing flooding and road washouts in some areas of eastern Virignia.

Scott Jones (purple shirt), director of Univeristy of Mary Washington’s Dahlgren Campus, and a team from King George Welding position an anchor and a one-pounder naval desk gun for display outside the school’s main entrance. Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division, History Center has loaned the World War II-era anchor and a pair of deck guns to UMW Dahlgren as part of an exhibit highighting local connections with the Navy. The History Center is also loaning a number of other items to UMW, which will be displayed in a gallery at the Dahlgren campus. The campus conducts a wide variety of training events to meet the continuing education needs of personnel at Naval Support Activity South Potomac and its tenant commands, as well as local governments and private industry. Each year, the campus hosts a series of National Security lectures that focus on issues crucial to keeping the American people safe from threats at home and abroad. The next lecture will take place Oct. 8 and will be entitled “Contradictions and Quandaries in Policies and Strategies to Counter ISIL: The Cases of Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the United States.”

A letter written by convicted murderer Anthony Goodman to King George Circuit Judge Patricia Kelly caused a delay in Goodman’s scheduled sentencing last week. Kelly set a date of Nov. 5 to hear a motion to set aside Goodman’s guilty pleas in connection with a brutal 2014 murder and robbery. Goodman is accused of fatally shooting 20-year-old Ronelle Johnson of King George after a drug deal turned violent on April 29 of last year. Johnson was shot and killed and his cousin, Gregory Gaines, Jr., 20, of King George was also shot but survived. Two of Goodman’s alleged accomplices, Andre Clinton, 29, of Bladensburg, MD and Tennase Michel Shanks, 45, of Colonial Beach have already been convicted for their involvement in the murder robbery and are behind bars. After entering guilty pleas to two charges, Goodman, of Upper Marlboro, MD, was scheduled to be sentenced Thursday. But in a letter written from jail to Judge Kelly, Goodman said he had not been properly represented by his court-appointed defense attorney, Jim Ilijevich, and he asked the judge to set aside his negotiated guilty pleas. Goodman said Ilijevich had given him false information in an effort to pressure him to plead guilty. “I just want a fair trial and a chance to prove my innocence,” Goodman wrote. Ilijevich has rejected Goodman’s accusations, saying he never pressured Goodman to enter his pleas of guilty but noted that a charge of first degree murder was dropped

as a result of the pleas. Judge Kelly asked Goodman if he was satisfied with the services of his attorney when he entered his guilty pleas in July and Goodman said yes. Even so, Thursday Judge Kelly delayed sentencing Goodman and appointed a new defense attorney until his motion to renounce his guilty pleas can be heard. Clinton was convicted of firstdegree murder, attempted murder and two firearms charge in connection with last year’s shooting. Shanks entered a plea of guilty to robbery and a misdemeanor charge of being an accessory after the fact. Both Shanks and Clinton named Goodman as the architect of the botched murder and robbery. Gaines, the man who survived the shooting, told investigators that Clinton and Goodman tied up Gaines and Johnson with duct tape and Clinton shot them multiple times. Both men were also robbed of their money and their cell phones. According to authorities, Shanks stayed away from the actual shootings, but then drove the getaway car the other two suspects. Motions to set aside a verdict are rarely granted in Virginia. King George Commonwealth’s Attorney Keri Gusmann said that in the event Goodman is granted a new trial, she would move to reinstate the first-degree murder charge against him.

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

As 2016 election season draws closer, what is the Republican Party’s brand? Branding is a familiar concept in marketing and sales. It takes a long time to build a brand. But think of all the familiar brand names and the images they convey. Take Quaker Oats, for example. They’ve been a staple in my house since I was a child and to me means something warm and tasty on a David S. Kerr cold morning. It doesn’t matter that the ingredients are basic and copied by others. The Quaker Oats brand identity is so powerful, that to me, there is only

one kind of oats. It works in politics too. Each of the major parties has a brand. It’s a bit more fluid in concept, but it’s just as powerful. Democrats have a brand. It repels some and attracts others. For the most part, the Democratic Party’s brand has been stable over recent years. Its icons, the imagery, like many brand political labels, has been its leading figures: President Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden. To most, the Democratic brand means more willingness to spend on domestic programs, more emphasis on progressive taxation, and a far more liberal view of social issues. You may not like that brand, you might not care for it all, but it’s one that’s stable and one the Democrats

Letters to the Editor We live in a county that has about 25 K people. My research shows that we also have a huge debt of more than $136 million dollars! This has occurred under the leadership of long time incumbents Cedell Brooks, Joe Grzeika, and Dale Sisson. The landfill that King George is “famous” for was supposed to provide revenue for funding of our schools. But, that did not happen. Instead, it has been the only means to pay the debt service – over $7 million dollars each year. Though I do not understand all of the particulars of how it works, it seems that the county debt is being manipulated in order to borrow more money. This must stop! Ruby Brabo has been a breath of fresh air in the midst of this spending/refinancing/borrowing/spending more cycle. Ms. Brabo has consistently brought possible resolutions to issues facing our County to the attention of her colleagues only to be ignored and sometimes disrespected. I have attended a few of the meet

the candidate forums and have enjoyed Ms. Brabo’s candid repsonses to sometimes very tough questions. The overall feeling I get each time is that Ruby Brabo cares about all of us and the issues that face our entire county… and she has viable solutions she would work to implement. King George County citizens are long overdue for representatives that are committed to fiscally responsible practices and have a viable vision for the future of the well-being of the County. Vote Ruby Brabo for the At-Large Supervisor seat this November! Please! Jill Morrow King George When I met Ruby Brabo over ten years ago, I immediately felt a kinship with this fine lady. She was/is energetic, friendly, trustworthy, a good listener and hard-working. We have worked together in many King George community projects over

have been happy with. The Republicans on the other hand, at least until recently, had a pretty solid brand. They focused on smaller government, lower taxes, more spending on defense, and when it comes to social issues a far more conservative take than the Democrats. This seemed like a good balance, but since the emergence of a much more energetic conservative wing of the GOP, the Republican Party is now facing a brand-identity crisis. One that’s making many in the GOP anxious and concerned. Let’s start with the debates. The Republican Party started with a field of 15 candidates and the focus of the campaign has been, and it’s an interesting dynamic, on their

stand-up performances during the two televised debates. Out of that smash up, one person has emerged as the near total consumer of media time and that’s Donald Trump. Gosh, I wasn’t even sure he was a Republican until recently, but I guess he is. He has done a lot of damage to the GOP brand with his mean-spirited, insulting, and demeaning rhetoric. But, the guy’s a master of it, and the more outrageous it becomes the more press attention he gets. Unfortunately, Trump has managed to crowd out almost all of the other contenders. Everyone wants to see what the “Donald” is going to say next. Thing is though, Trump, at this writing, leads in all the polls and it’s an

the ten years and in each committee or undertaking I was struck by her passion and hard-work ethic for the good of King George. This was prior to her term as the Dahlgren District representative on the King George Board of Supervisors. She didn’t surprise me when she decided to try to make important changes for our County by running and being elected to the Dahlgren District seat. She did things totally different than any other supervisor. She changed the face of representation in our County. She held quarterly town hall meetings. I have attended most of these. I learned about some real challenges that we face here. As active as I have been in this county, I had no idea about many of the problems we were dealing with and nobody was bringing this to the citizen’s attention. If Ruby hadn’t held these informative meetings, I believe our citizens would continue to be in the dark about some very serious issues we face. She began sharing valuable information on Facebook. She also com-

municates on Twitter and Instagram and creates and distributes a monthly newsletter. Ruby serves on local, State, and National level Boards and Committees. I have tried over the years to email or call a board member, and NEVER received a reply or call back. That is IF they even gave out their email addresses. This is what we in this County were used to. It is not okay. It never was and never will be. We benefit by her involvement by learning about legislation that affects us and having a conduit to carry our concerns as a Community. The citizens of King George have NEVER enjoyed this level of communication and transparency from any of Ruby’s multi-term colleagues. This is why it is so important to embrace a repreMost sentative that believes in true service Insurance to the Community.Accepted Ruby has my support and my vote on November 3rd..

agree on a program. Or much of anything else for that matter. Their internecine warfare has gotten vicious and forced the pained resignation of House Speaker John Boehner. Boehner has told his insurgents that they can’t win their battles by constantly shutting down the government. But that warning didn’t resonate and they remain a deeply divided majority. Alas, they can’t agree on their brand either. And until they, and the field of presidential nominees come to some agreement, however loose, this lack of a clear brand identity is going to hurt.

open question as to whether this support is real. Is the Republican base just angry and telling the pollsters they like Trump or is this support genuine? In the meantime, a whole field of responsible Republicans can’t get a word in edgewise. Somewhere along the line, given that this is a Republican contest, someone is going to have to start talking about “Republican values.” When that happens the brand, though changed perhaps, might at least be salable again. Then there is the House of Representatives. It’s got a whopping large GOP majority, but they can’t seem to

The St. Paul’s Adult Masterworks Chorus is starting rehearsals for their Autumn Masterworks Concert. Their first rehearsal will be on Wed., Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 5486 St. Paul’s Road, KG,VA. This will be a great opportunity to sing Randall Thompson’s famous The Testament of Freedom, written during Thompson’s tenure at the Univ. of VA. (1941-45). This work is filled with simple hymn-like melodies, numerous trumpet fanfares and lots of drum rolls. It was dedicated to the University of Virginia Glee Club in memory of the “Father of the University,” Thomas Jefferson. Guest musicians will include retired USAF Band member Aubrey Adams on timpani and snare drum and USMC Band Principal Trumpet, Andy Schuller. They are outstanding performers in every way who will add great excitement to the music!! And, of course, we will employ our newly restored pipe organ! This masterwork was written in 1941-1945, a time when Randall Thompson was regarded as the leading composer of choral music in America. The texts contain a summary of the 1774 View of Rights of British America (The God who gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy but cannot disjoin them), the 1775 Declaration of Causes and Necessity of Taking up Arms, and a 1821 Letter to John Adams. All singers of all voice parts are welcome. Call the church at (540) 663- 3085 for more information.

King George Middle School girls’ basketball dominating area hoops contests Leonard Banks Sports Editor For the last two seasons, the King George Middle School girls’ basketball program has been flying quietly under the radar. Last season, the Lady Foxes finished 16-2, and now a season later, the same team, without its leading scorers, still are dominating area girls’ middle school basketball. Their present record of 9-1 suggests no shortage of talent at KGMS. In spite of neutralizing Caroline 39-26 (Sept. 28), head coach Neil Lyburn is cautiously optimistic. “Although the season is going well, I have a lot of young kids; mostly seventh-graders and new faces,” Lyburn said. “The good thing about new faces is that some of them are knowledgeable about basketball.” The Foxes only loss took place Sept. 22 at the hostile confines of Floyd T Binns. After convincingly defeating Binns on two occasions earlier in the season, King George lost, 41-38.

“I have a lot of young kids; mostly seventhgraders and new faces. The good thing about new faces is that some of them are knowledgeable about basketball.” —Neil Lyburn, KGMS girls basketball coach

“Our only loss was due to us not playing well, but they played much better than they did before,” Lyburn said. Evidence of the Foxes’ court knowledge was their recent performance against Caroline. Oma Aguoly led the Foxes with six first-

2015 is proving a breakout year for the King George Middle School’s girls’ basketball program. The team currently has a 9-1 record.

quarter points, as King George took a commanding 13-4 lead into the second quarter. In the second quarter, Eagles point guard Brianna Morton scored seven points to cut the lead to 19-13. In spite of the Eagles’ late secondquarter surge, the Foxes managed to maintain a six-point lead. Lauren Tolliver added four points late in the quarter to give King George that advantage. In the third quarter, Morton added five points to the Eagles’ total. However, while Morton was securing fast-break opportunities, the rest of her team was shutout by King George defenders. Morton finished the game with 17 points. In the fourth quarter, with less than two minutes to play, Foxes post players Lauren Johnson and Lauren McCall dominated the paint area with seven points. On Oct. 7, King George will travel to Lancaster. On Oct. 17, the Foxes will host the Home-Shoot 4 Cure Tournament. Photo by Leonard Banks

Hard work pays off for King George High School alumnus Paul Jerry Leonard Banks Sports Editor From the moment Maryland Transportation Authority police officer Paul Jerry settles into his daily law enforcement job, his priorities are focused on public safety. However, the King George High School alumnus remains passionate about the thrill of running a 5K run or testing his punching skills in a Golden Gloves or USA amateur boxing competition. “Since I’ve been on the job, I’ve learned a lot,” Jerry said. “Every day feels like fast and furious. Along with being able to drive and enforce the law, you’re able to be of service to the community. Most days, you never know what you’re going to be involved in.” Jerry’s transition into the world of law enforcement has been mixed with a full compliment of community outreach via the X2REP organization, and a daily regiment of physical fitness.

Jerry’s boxing manager and father, Anthony Murrill, has witnessed the first-year police officer’s rise from an aspiring high school athlete to competing against some of the best endurance runners in the tristate area. On Sept. 20, in a field of 600 runners, Jerry placed second with a time of 18:45 in the 7th Fort McHenry Annual Tunnel Run 5K in Baltimore. “Paul is a good example of how to go to school, stay in shape, stay focused, and get a job with good pay and have all the tools that you need to have to be successful,” Murrill said. Along with the top three male and female winners, Jerry was featured on the The WJZ Channel 13 news show. Committed to a stringent training regimen, Jerry often is seen running through the streets of King George. Jerry’s next race is the Colon Cancer Awareness 5K in Washington, D.C.’s Rock Creek Park. This past April, the King George

resident’s quest to win the Maryland Golden Gloves Championship fell short due a decision that favored Marcus Wright. During Jerry’s six-year bantamweight boxing career, he has boxed in the Sugar Ray Boxing Gym in Palmer Park, Md. and traveled to Ireland to compete against a very tough Irish group of boxers. Inspired by his late mother’s battle with breast cancer, Jerry is a firm believer in educating the public about cancer awareness. In addition, Jerry has become an advocate for the Special Olympics. “A lot of those guys don’t have the physical abilities that we have, and yet they go out there and give the same 100 percent that we do,” Jerry said. On Oct. 2, Jerry had his first Art of X2Rep session at Glassmanor Elementary School, in Oxon Hill, Md. The art seminar/clinic provided kids a brief glimpse into the world of drawing cartoons (custom Minions) and the human anatomy. Photo courtesy of Paul Jerry

King George varsity volleyball team overcomes Caroline Staff Report On Sept. 29, the King George High School varsity volleyball team traveled to Caroline for a conference volleyball match. The Foxes won in three sets, 25-11, 25-13, 25-11. Madi Koban had seven aces and three kills; MiCala Peterson had two aces and seven kills. Abbey Davis had six aces and six assists, while Kristina Zuniga contributed 13 assists and two aces.

Elimma Aguolu led the defense with five blocks and contributed two kills. On Sept. 25, during an area junior varsity tournament invitational at King George High School, the Foxes’ junior varsity lost to Riverbend High School in the championship round. The following day, during a varsity volleyball tournament at KGHS, the Foxes tied Courtland High School for third place, while visiting Powhatan defeated Mount View to win the King George Volleyball Invitational.

The Washington and Lee Eagles absorbed their third loss of the football season during a rainy contest last week at Spotsylvania High School. The ground-and-pound strategy of the Spotsylvania Knights rolled up 483 yards on the Eagles for a 41 to 14 win. The game, which was moved to Thursday because of weather concerns, was played in conditions that were perfect for the Spotsylvania running attack. “We knew on a rainy day, a muddy day, we were just going to have to pound the rock,” said Knights senior running back Mike Genalo. The Eagles, now 2-3 for the year, had their opportunities.

They recovered four Spotsylvania fumbles in the sloppy weather but could not turn them into,points. “It’s tough not to capitalize on turnovers,” said W&L Coach Todd Jones. “If you are fortunate enough to force them, you have to take advantage of them, but we didn’t.” The Eagles’ passing game did result in two scores in the first half. Quarterback Cullen Bell hit his brother, receiver Carson Bell, on a 10-yard touchdown in the first quarter and then threw for another score in the second with 12-yard scoring play to Carson. But from then on, the Spotsylvania running game dominated. Genalo ended up with 117 yards rushing and three touchdowns. Sophomore running back Reece Racabo had 233 yards and two long scoring runs for the Knights. And junior

fullback Michael Shelton had 132 yards and a score. The Eagles travel to Lancaster Friday. It will Washington and Lee’s third straight away game. The next Eagles home game is Oct. 16 against Northumberland. Then they have away games against Rappahannock and Essex before closing the season at home against Colonial Beach.

W&L wins boys’ and girls’ Northern Neck Cross Country Championships Richard Leggitt Freshman Jenifer Broglin and senior Hasan Gill of Washington and Lee High School won the girls’ and boys’ individual cross country titles at the Northern Neck District Cross Country championships last week. Broglin won the girls’ varsity race with a time of 20:22. She was followed by senior Mary Frere of Lancaster with a time of 22:05. Northumberland won the girls’ team title and Washington and Lee was second in team competition. Gill finished first in the boys’ division with a time of 17:55. He was followed by teammate and fellow Washington and Lee senior Alec Westall with a time of 18:23. Patrick Kelley of Lancaster was third with a time of 19:02. Washington and Lee also won the boys’ team title.

2:30 p.m. and hunt until sundown. All participants and volunteers must contact Rick Wilks at 540-775-4625. Archery season reminders Archery season started Saturday. Here are a few reminders. If by chance you see a bear (the archery season is in for them) remember you need to have a bear tag. It no longer comes on your big game license. It is a separately purchased tag. Keep in mind angles when you are arrowing a deer or turkey. Hard quartering shots are tough. You have to shoot further back if quartering away to hit the vitals. Shots from tree stands should be taken with angles in consideration. Turkey have a small vital area just upwards and forward of the drumstick. Keep that in mind. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bleed as much and are harder to recover successfully when arrowed. Wear your safety harness when hunting from a tree stand. A fall from as little as 10 feet can seriously injure you. Attractants with natural deer urine or fluids are banned in Virginia. Outdoor Calendar October 9-12 Duck season Daily Bag Limit: 6 ducks of any species except for the following restrictions: can include no more than 4 mallards (only 2 can be hen mallards), 4 scoters, 3 wood ducks, 2 redheads, 2 scaup, 2 pintails, 1 black duck (except closed during Oct. 9-12), 2 canvasbacks, 1 mottled duck, and 1 fulvous whistling duck.

Puzzle solutions from page 2 This week we have an English tea caddy from a family in the lower Northern Neck. The wood is mahogany, and the glass waste bowl, although it fits the hole, is probably not original. The two tea compartments, one for black and one for green, retain their original metal linings. The key is missing. One corner of the lid that was broken off many years ago, and Henry Lane has ben re-glued unsuccessfully. In other Hull respects the piece is in excellent condition, never having been refinished. Tea caddies remain popular on the market, although today they serve only an ornamental purpose in that the compartment linings often are lead-based, and should not be used for the storage of loose tea. This caddy is a product of that great period of English decorative arts from the Regency Period, through the reign of George IV, into the reign of William IV, that is, the early nineteenth century. The design is typ-

Sudoku

ical of the era, with excellent marquetry of the mahogany veneer and a nice ivory escutcheon. The quality of the caddy calls for proper restoration of the improperly re-glued lid. The pieces should be separated carefully, the present glue cleaned away, to be replaced with a new bonding material. This process should not be expensive, and doing it will enhance the value of the caddy. Finding an old key that works the lock also should not be difficult. Properly restored, and with a key, the tea caddy is worth $350. Tea caddies have not undergone significant losses in value due to the recession, and continue to bring good prices in antiques shops and at auction, all the more remarkable given that they can serve only an ornamental purpose. The British tea culture remains almost as popular in America as it is in the Mother Country. Happy Antiquing!

lead dust that is as small as a grain of sand is enough to poison children, who may suffer brain damage, hearing loss, nervous system and kidney damage, and decreased muscle and bone growth after exposure to lead dust. When pregnant

women are exposed to lead dust, that exposure may affect the baby’s cognitive development while increasing the mother’s blood pressure. Household pets exposed to lead dust may suffer from a series of side effects, including vomiting,

diarrhea, abdominal pain and possibly death. When making renovations to their homes, homeowners can open windows and wear protective gear such as masks and safety goggles to avoid direct exposure to lead dust.

Storm: Area events postponed due to foul weather From page 1 Beach and Coles Point. Dockside Restaurant in Colonial Beach had to close due to rising flood waters. King George County had an easier time, though the foul weather forced cancelation of postponement of a number of activities, including the “My Voter Madness Fair,” and the Farm Bureau’s “Meet and Greet” for local candidates. King George Public Schools canceled its Friday afternoon and evening activities, as well as any events planned for Saturday, Oct. 4. The Port Royal Charter Days event, scheduled to begin Oct. 3, was pushed back to Oct. 11 due to the

heavy rains. “We just didn’t want people walking around town in the rain “ said Mayor Nancy Long. The popular Montross Fall Festival, scheduled for Oct. 2-4, has been rescheduled for Oct. 29-31. “Many of the vendors have already committed to the new date,” said Terry Cosgrove, the spokesman for the Greater Montross Partnership for Revitalization, said. Colonial Beach Baptist Church, which was scheduled to host an Oct. 4 community-wide event featuring U.S. Senate Chaplain Barry Black, had to postpone until Nov. 22. Photos by Linda Farneth “We are blessed that Chaplain Black was able to give us another date,” said Above Left: A privately owned pier on Irving Avenue in Colonial Beach suffered damage due to the heavy winds and rain over the weekend. one of the church organizers.

King George School Board awarded grant for school security equipment Phyllis Cook King George School Superintendent Rob Benson announced recently that the school division has been awarded a school security equipment grant of $93,600 to purchase and install accesscontrol systems at two elementary schools. It will be a card-swipe system recording door access, with an alert system also providing monitoring in the school office when a door is ajar. “We are very pleased to receive a second grant which will allow us

to install access-control systems at King George Elementary and Sealston Elementary,” Benson said. “The access control systems provide increased security as far as our exterior entrances and accountability for guests who visit the school during instructional hours.” Benson said the grant requires a 25 percent match of about $23,000. “I believe we will be able to reprioritize to cover the cost of the match within our existing budget,” Benson said. Benson’s announcement mirrored a similar one earlier in the day by

Gov. Terry McAuliffe, saying the state had awarded $6 million in School Security Equipment Grants to improve safety and security for students and teachers in 519 schools and other educational facilities in 100 school divisions. “These grants represent a crucial investment in safeguarding Virginia’s young people and the educators, administrators and support staff dedicated to preparing them for the future,” McAuliffe said. “A new Virginia economy requires new and innovative solutions, and these school security equipment grants fit the bill.”

Two sought in tobacco store robbery Richard Leggitt The King George Sheriff ’s Office is seeking two suspects who robbed a King George tobacco store on Route 301 Thursday night. Sgt. Kecia Wharton, the sheriff ’s office spokeswoman, said the robbery occurred Oct.1 at 9 p.m. at the Border Store just west of the Harry Nice Bridge. Wharton said two men entered the store dressed in black and wearing masks. One man had a handgun and demanded cash. The other brought a bag into the store and filled it with cigarettes and other merchandise. Both men then left the store on foot. Wharton said the 38-year-old

clerk was not injured in the robbery. Sheriff ’s officers, using their canine units, tracked the robbers into the woods behind the store but eventually lost their trail. Anyone with information regarding this incident or the identity of the suspects is asked to contact Detective Massey of the King George Sheriff ’s Office at (540) 775-2049.

building owners has come forward seeking grant money. Phase 1 public improvements are also moving forward. Street furniture, benches and trashcans have been ordered and are expected to be installed in either late October or early November. But the project is waiting to do the work until the event season is over to avoid inconvenience to tourists. In order to remove three utility poles along Taylor Street, Dominion Virginia Power must coordinate with both Metrocast and Verizon. The lines must be rerouted underground before Dominion can remove the old poles. “Dominion has assured me they will have the work complete in two weeks,” Town Manager Val Foulds said, but cautioned that weather or other factors could delay the work. A Gateway sign will be located at the corner of Washington Avenue and Colonial Avenue along with one of three directional signs that will be placed next to it. Two other sets of directional signs will be placed throughout the area to steer tourists toward the beach, boardwalk and pedestrian plazas. The timeline for Phases 1 and 2 of revitalization is as follows: Phase 1 Façade Improvements - Six grants totaling $51,000 have been awarded and the program will continue during the duration of the overall project. Street Furniture - Benches, trashcans and a bike rack have been selected and procured and
