Balderson wins re-election in Westmoreland County Sheriff’s race Linda Farneth Incumbent Westmoreland County Sheriff C. O. Balderson celebrated his third victory at Stan’s Skateland in Montross, with friends and family on Tuesday night after the election results came in.

Balderson won in a landslide, garnering nearly 2,500 Balderson votes or 68 percent. He has served as Westmoreland’s sheriff since 2008.

Challenger J. Byron Wilkins netted just under 1,200 votes, or 32 percent.

“I am extremely thankful and so very humbled to have been re-elected as your sheriff,” Balderson said after the results were tallied. “Words alone can’t express my deepest appreciation for the support that has been given to me. It will not be forgotten nor taken for granted. I look forward to

continuing to serve as your sheriff.”

Aside from serving as Sheriff for Westmoreland County since 2008, Balderson serves on the Training Committee with the Rappahannock Regional Criminal Justice Academy and with the Virginia Sheriffs’ Institute Board of Directors and is a Commissioner with The Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission.

(VLEPSC) Balderson is a lifelong resident of Westmoreland County. After graduating f r o m Wa s h i n g t o n Wilkins and Lee High School, he earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Administration of Justice and Public Safety from Virginia Commonwealth University. In 1992, Balderson joined the Virginia Department of Forestry as a Chief Forest Warden.

Winners in Westmoreland’s elections celebrated Tuesday after the tallying of votes. The victors included (front row, l-r) Board of Supervisors Chairman Darryl Fisher, Westmoreland Commonwealth’s Attorney Julia Hutt Sichol, Westmoreland District Dorothy Dickerson Tate, and Sheriff C.O. Balderson.

Election brings changes to Westmoreland School Board Richard Leggitt Tuesday’s election meant dramatic changes for the Westmoreland County School Board, which has been the object of criticism and controversy for the past two years as disagreements and scandals have roiled parents, teachers and students.

The Westmoreland School Board picked up at least three new members.

At-large candidate Patricia Lewis defeated Jerry Mulholland, winning, 67.2 percent of the vote.

Lewis had 2,124 votes to Mulholland’s 826.

Ralph Fallin won the school board’s District 3 seat, defeating incumbent Coralynn “Polly” Wise.

Fallin netted 61.5 percent of the vote, garnering 482 votes, to Wise’s 301 votes.

Sandra Ramsey ran unopposed and becomes the new District 1 board member.

The unofficial returns were posted by the Virginia Board of Elections Voters expressed concern, noting that the Westmoreland Public Schools has had two superintendents and there have been

three principals of Washington and Lee High School in the last 24 months. One principal was forced to resign after a drunk driving arrest.

The school system was cited by the Internal Revenue Service and the Virginia State Retirement System for failing to promptly pay withholding deductions, much to the dismay of county officials. There also have been several controversial personnel actions that led to protests by parents and students.

As they prepare to take office, the new school board members will face the dilemma of tight budgets and increasing demands for services.

Two current school board members did not seek election, District 1 member Karen Jackson and At-large member Gennard Reed.

The At-large race turned into a spirited contest between Lewis and Mulholland.

Lewis, an active participant in parent activities at Washington and Lee, is an employee of Westmoreland State Park and the wife of Washington and Lee Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis.

She is a lifelong county resident,

a Washington and Lee graduate and the mother of two sons who graduated from W&L. Mulholland is a retired U.S. Navy captain, a former teacher in Fairfax County and has taught for seven years in Westmoreland County. He campaigned on a pledge to improve student scores in math and science.

Additionally, board member Daniel Wallace was unopposed for the District 4 school board seat.

In the District 3 race, Fallin campaigned against Wise by pledging to move Westmoreland schools in “a new direction.”

Incumbent Westmoreland County School Board Chairwoman Iris Lane was forced to wage a write-in campaign after she failed to get enough valid signatures on her petitions to qualify for the ballot in District 2.

Lane ran unopposed for the District 2 school board seat in 2011 and was also unopposed this year but the petition problem meant she was required to conduct a difficult and complicated write-in campaign to hold her post.

She succeeded, garnering 365 write-in votes, guranteeing her another term.

Tight contest marks District 4 Westmoreland supervisors race Richard Leggitt W.W. “Woody” Hynson, a leading Westmoreland County official for two decades, faced his toughest election contest in years Tuesday as he was challenged for his longtime District 4 supervisor seat by Keith Dickerson, the popular Colonial Beach High School girls basketball coach.

With 100 percent of precincts re p or t i ng , unofficial returns from the Virginia Board of Elections Hynson showed Hynson winning 326 votes, or 55 percent, versus 270 votes for Dickedrson, or 45 percent.

Speaking after the returns were tallied, Hynson pledged to focus economic development and prudently managing the county’s finances.

“We have got to bring jobs to Westmoreland County,” he said.

“And over next four or five years we

will be building a new high school. I years and his 2015 Colonial Beach have been involved in that for some girl’s team posted a perfect 10-0 1A time, so my focus is going to be a East record and went to the state conservative one trying to be careful championship tournament.

Keith Dickerson Beach businessman and District 5 has been a basketball coach for nine Supervisor Larry Roberson.

Montross Fall Fest a hit with attendees Richard Leggitt When organizers of Montross’ Fall Festival were forced by weather to postpone it earlier this month, they were concerned about attendance at the rescheduled event.

Not to worry. Visitors and local residents filled the town Saturday as the Fall Festival was a big hit with crowds.

“All in all it was a beautiful fall day and the streets of Montross were filled with festival goers, so it was a win- win for our visitors, vendors and local businesses too,” said Montross Vice Mayor Terry Cosgrove. “It was great seeing more arts and craft vendors around old courthouse square and the parade was excellent.”

Crowds by the hundreds gathered

“[I]t was a beautiful day... It was a winwin for our visitors, vendors and local businesses...”

on the courthouse square and along the downtown streets sampling the wares of vendors, talking with political candidates and listening to the blues band Hard to Tell, which played on the courthouse steps.

Cosgrove called special attention to the Washington and Lee High School marching band which performed in the parade.

“Under the leadership of husbandand-wife music and band teachers

Rob and Kelly Wright, this group has come so far over the last several years. It was a joy to see them not only marching and playing but they have added several ‘show’ marching routines to the repertoire,” Cosgrove said.

Squirrel a tasty treat for stew lovers all over and other vegetation. The meat is very lean with almost no fat. They are relatively abundant and quite fun to hunt. No extravagant gear is needed either. Hunting squirrels can be done with a shotgun or .22 rifle, where it is safe to do so. In areas where houses are nearby, .22 rifle shots need to be taken downhill into the side of the hill for safety, not up in the air to let the bullet land who knows where.

Right now, there are lots of squirrels to be had. They are scurrying around gathering nuts for the winter, burying them for later and storing them in trees too. With the leaves falling, squirrels are somewhat easy to spot as they go up and down the trees and dig on the ground.

When using a shotgun, use #4 or #6 shot. Try to aim for the head.

Most of the choice meat is in the rear legs but the front legs are not to be overlooked. A .22 rifle shot can be taken at the head or behind the shoulder. A scoped rifle is even better as long shots can be taken effectively.

Look for squirrels near hickory,

Mark Fike Things have changed in the past 40 years.

Long ago, if your family faced a bit of a financial shortcoming, you grew a garden, fished a bit more or hunted more. Often suppers were made of small game, such as squirrels, out of necessity. Even in homes that were not necessarily facing financial hardships, people saved money by doing a little small game hunting on the side and growing a garden.

One small game animal that is nearly always overlooked as a good, lean food source is squirrel.

I told some young people not long ago how good squirrel was and my comment was met with, “0oooh! You eat that?”

I most definitely eat squirrel and I actually love it. Many people that have tried it after I made a soup or stew from squirrel have commented how good it was. I doubt my cooking skills are such that the “oooh” factor is suddenly gone.

Squirrels eat shoots, nuts, berries

beech and oak trees. Walk slowly and watch for movement going up and down the trees. Confirm it is a squirrel before shooting and take careful aim.

The bag limit is 6 per person per day. Don’t overlook simply sitting in a grove of nut bearing trees and outwaiting squirrels. They often will head to the tops of trees when danger lurks and then come back down when they feel danger has passed.

That is usually within 10 minutes or less. Move slowly, quietly and wear camo if possible. Remember, blaze orange is necessary to be legal during firearms and muzzleloader deer season when moving.

Skinning a squirrel is not too difficult, particularly if you do it soon after getting the squirrel. Make a slight cut perpendicular to the backbone and work your fingers under the skin. Pull the skin apart and work down to the wrists and ankles and cut off. Cut the tail off and then remove the four legs. Place the quarters or legs in a bowl in the refrigerator and let them chill for a few days. This will help tenderize

them a bit. Then either freeze them or use them. Three or four squirrels are all that are necessary for a good batch of soup. Use more meat if you prefer.

Squirrel soup Place squirrel legs in slow cooker for at least six hours with a cup and a half to two cups of water. Season with steak seasoning or favorite cooking seasoning. Kenny’s Original or Creole makes a good taste.

Remove when meat is tender, pull out the bones and place back in the cooker.

Add in a healthy helping of sweet corn, a can of green beans or okra, barley or cut up potatoes, diced onions and small carrots. Let the soup simmer for a few more hours.

A clove of garlic and some Andouille sausage really livens the soup up.

Biscuits or cornbread are a welcome addition.

If you have never tried squirrel before, I encourage you to give it a shot and enjoy some soup on a cool fall or cold winter day. You won’t regret it.

This quilt belongs to the estate of a lady who died recently. It had descended through her husband’s family, and probably was made by an u n k n o w n ancestor in Minnesota well over 100 years ago.

The couple had no children, and the executor of the estate is Henry Lane planning to sell Hull the quilt. The condition is not good, with signs of wear and perhaps dry rot. The dimensions are 8’ by 9’.,

and a large stain is on the back.

As authentic handmade quilts go, this one is exceptional.

First, the size is quite large, whereas most quilts are significantly smaller.

Second, the pattern is consistent, and the hand-sewing is very impressive.

In determining the value of a quilt, in addition to pattern and maker, one of the key considerations is the number of stitches to the inch. Obviously, the more, the better.

The positive attributes of this piece are offset by the condition issues. The quilt probably would not withstand washing or dry cleaning, and repair would be difficult, but not impossible.

The piece is worthy of conservation; the question is how and when to

Mark & Missy Fike Potomac River — Ken’s Tackle in Fredericksburg told us they had customers using white crankbaits, bucktails and other plugs to catch striped bass. Some are also using cut menhaden.

Catfish are biting any bait in the river and they are likely the most willing customer right now. Some largemouth are being caught by the few anglers out on the river in the tidal creeks upriver. Crankbaits off the woody structure and pig in jig combos are the best bets.

Some nice crappie are being caught in the creeks on small minnows.

Rappahannock River — Ken’s Tackle reported crappie action continuing on minnows. Sone nice ring perch are being caught near Fredericksburg also on minnows.

Look for the smallmouth action upriver to continue to be good.

Some nice largemouth bass are being caught near the City Dock too.

Motts Run Reservoir — Motts is wrapping up its season but said the fishing was good the past week.

Some nice crappie and a few really nice bass were caught. Many people are visiting to use the hiking trails.

Apparently there are 9 miles of trails to hike in gorgeous scenery. proceed. I suggest selling the quilt in as/is condition, thereby allowing the purchaser to assume the responsibility of restoration.

Here in the Northern Neck several quilting groups work for local nonprofit institutions, such as the one at Rice’s Hotel/Hughlett’s Tavern in Heathsville. Asking the members how to proceed, and at what cost, would be a good way to start.

In its present condition, the quilt is not worth more than $100. Properly restored it could be a fine addition to a museum collection, especially in Minnesota, if further information could be learned as to the maker and date of composition.

Quilting was a significant American pastime in the 18th and

Lake Anna anglers are seeing striper all over the lake hitting jerk shads. Some crappie are on the docks now too.

Saltwater — Some small bluefish are swarming the CBBT now and togfish action has picked up quite a bit if the wind lets down and you can get out.

A few guys are catching striper in the lower bay by bouncing Storm Shads right along the bottom in more than 10 feet of water.

Jenkins wins Dahlgren seat on BOS George Whitehurst John E. Jenkins, Jr. cruised to victory Tuesday night in the contest for the Dahlgren District seat on the King George Board of Supervisors.

Unofficial returns from the Virginia Board of Elections s h o w e d Jenkins taking 647 votes, or 56 percent to 503 votes, or Jenkins 44 percent,

for Robert Black, Jr. The race for the open Dahlgren seat was a first for both Jenkins and Black, who are both law enforcement professionals.

Jenkins, spent his teen years in the county and is a 1999 graduate of King George High School.

From 1999-2006, he served in the Virgnia Army National Guard, which included a tour of duty at Fort Eustis in 2004 and in Iraq in 2005. He has won a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with V-Device for Valor.

He earned a Bachelor’s degree in 2003 and moved back to King

George in 2012. Since 2004, Jenkins has worked as a U.S. Capitol Police Officer.

He serves as a volunteer wrestling coach at King George High School and assists with youth and middle s c h o o l programs.

He recently joined the King George C o u n t y Historical Society and Dahlgren Heritage Black Museum.

Black, a 10-year King George resident, works in the Prince George’s County (MD) Police Department as an internal affairs officer.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in professional studies, leadership and management and an Associate’s degree in applied science-criminal justice technology.

He serves as the volunteer Deputy Chief of the King George County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services and is a firefighter/ EMT-B. He also is a member of the South Potomac Civilian-Military Community Relations Council.

KG constitutional officers face no opposition Phyllis Cook Three of King George County’s constitutional officers faced no opponents in Tuesday’s election.

Sheriff Steve Dempsey, Commonwealth’s Attorney Keri A. Gusmann and Circuit Court Clerk Charles “Vic” Mason were swept back into office.

Dempsey was the highest vote getter, raking in 4,500 votes.

“As your Sheriff, I, and the staff at King George Sheriff ’s Office, will continue to provide the high­est level of professional law enforcement services to the citizens of King George. We have accomplished much over the course of my previous term, and over the next four years I will strive to make the community I love a safe place. I look forward to continue serving as your Sheriff of King George County. Thanks to everyone for their support over the past four years,” Dempsey, 62, is a career law enforcement officer. He was serving as the chief deputy in the King

George Sheriff ’s office in 2010 when incumbent Sheriff Clarence W. “Moose” Dobson announced his retirement and designated Dempsey as his successor.

Dempsey took the reigns of the department in January 2011.

Dempsey

Academy in 2006.

Gusmann has served as King George’s Commonwealth’s Attorney since September 2012, when her predecessor, Matt Britton, resigned.

On Tuesday she won a full term by collecting more than 4,200 votes.

Gusmann

Dempsey ran for and won a full term in November of that year.

A lifelong King George resident, his law enforcement training includes graduation from the Rappahannock Criminal Justice Academy in 1980, the Metropolitan Police K-9 Academy in 1981, the FBI National Academy in 1998, and the DEA Drug Unit Commanders

Mason

“It has been my privilege and honor to serve the citizens of King George County as a member of the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s office since 2002,” she said. “I would like to thank the voters of King George County for the faith they have put in me. I am truly grateful to work for them. My office will continue to work in conjunction with the King

George Sheriff ’s Office, the Virginia State Police and all other local, state or federal law enforcement to accomplish this purpose. It is my goal to ensure that King George County is a safe place to live, work and raise a family.”

Mason, 60, is a King George native and a third-generation Circuit Court Clerk, following in his father’s and grandfather’s footsteps. He wracked up 4,400 in Tuesday’s polling.

Mason assumed the position in 1994, following the death of this father. He has since run successfully for office each time his six-year term concluded.

His affiliations include as an instructor for Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Hunter Education since 2010.

“I wish to thank the residents of King George for allowing me to serve them as Clerk of the Circuit Court for the past 21 years. I have been honored and humbled by your support of myself and family, both personally and professionally, during that time,” Mason said.

Jones wins full term in Wd Linda Farneth Sue Nash Jones has won a full term as Westmoreland County's treasurer.

Jones ran unopposed for the post to which she was appointed in January, netting nearly 2,900 votes.

“The people of Westmoreland County entrust the Treasurer to take care of their money, and that is one of the greatest trusts that can be given to an i n d i v i d u a l ,” Jones said.

Jones “I am both humbled and honored by the confidence the citizens of Westmoreland County have placed in me. I will serve Westmoreland County as their

Treasurer to the best of my ability for the next four years.”

Jones was appointed to the treasurer's position when incumbent Treasurer Martha Beale Wilkins resigned.

“I came into this position with a love of accounting and making figures balance,” Jones said. “I get this from my mother who was a banker. I will spend hours tracking down a penny on an account that does not balance.”

Before her appointment, Jones was a Judicial Legal Assistant to the Judge George Mason III. Prior to that Jones served as the Northern Necks's General Receiver for 10 years and as a certified Chief Deputy Clerk in Richmond County for 15 years.

Born and raised in neighboring Richmond County, Jones moved across the county line to Westmoreland 30 years ago.

King George Foxes own 4A Conference 19 Cross Country Championship Staff Report The King George Foxes girls’ and boys’ cross-country teams delivered.

Not only did the Foxes win both girls’ and boys’ 4A Conference 19 Cross Country team titles, but they featured two individual conference championships in Jacob Watson (17:40) and Aubrey Wingeart (21:01).

The lady Foxes had six runners achieve All-Conference status (Wingeart 1st, Hannah Koepfinger 4th, Brooke West 6th, Molly Desque 11th, Maddie Amos 12th and Clara Snow 15th); while the boys had five achieve the same status (Jacob Watson 1st, Jonathon Watson 5th, James Peed 7th, Jarod Brem 12th and Brian Greeley 14th).

While the girls won handily against conference runner-up Chancellor by 22 points to secure their fifth consecutive Conference or District crown, the boys’ race was one of the closest you could ever expect to see.

With the Foxes tied with Chancellor at 39 points, the tie-breaker came down to the sixth runner for each team. King George’s Billy Stevenson not only finished three places ahead of the sixth runner for Chancellor, he also out kicked their fifth runner at the line to edge him out by fourtenths of a second.

Throughout the season, Foxes’ cross country head coach Paul Koepfinger has witnessed his athletes come through in the clutch.

“If Billy doesn’t make that final kick and edge past the Chancellor runner, we go home as the runnersup,” Koepfinger said. “But his close call is not the only one that factors in to the win; both James Peed and Jarod Brem outkick the runners next to them by less than a half second each.

If any one of these three men doesn’t hold of the man next to them, its lights out for us.

“Our hat is off to the Chancellor men. All season long, we knew the ability that group of guys had and

The Foxes girls’ and boys’ made team history by winning the 4A Conference 19 Championship, at Loriella Park. they threw everything they had at us today. We respect their tenacity and fortitude.”

From day one, Koepfinger and his coaching staff have stressed the importance of finishing strong as a team.

“Throughout the season, our group of coaches have stressed the importance to our athletes that every man counts, and that the next man up makes a difference,” Koepfinger said.

“Today, that played out to be a significant factor for these young men in this race. They understood the magnitude of the challenge coming in to the race and they embraced the philosophy and applied the necessary level of ef-

fort to achieve the results.”

From Koepfinger’s assistants to the team leaders, everyone continues to play a role in the team’s success.

“I am so proud of our athletes, as well as out assistant coaches, Michele Tritt and Alice Pallotti,” Koepfinger said. “Everyone has pulled together to do their part to help these two teams achieve one of the major goals we had set for the season. Next up on our list is to place in the top six at the Regional meet and advance both teams to the State Championship; a goal we had set back on August 1st.”

The Regional meet will be at 2 p.m. Nov. 4 at Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield.

Our hat is off to the Chancellor men. All season long, we knew the ability that group of guys had and they threw everything they had at us today. We respect their tenacity and fortitude.

Binder receives USATF Level 2 coaching certification Leonard Banks Sports Editor Longtime King George Track and Field coach Cathy Binder has dedicated her life to sports and fitness.

Now that she has attained two Level Two USATF Coaching Certifications, the sky is the limit.

“The level two training was the most intensive training I’ve ever done,” Binder said. “At one point, we

had breakfast at 7 a.m., and were at class at 8 a.m. until 9 p.m., for four consecutive days.”

In 2014, after a rigorous series of classes that took place at Marion University in Indiana, Binder earned a level two certification in endurance. Again in 2015, she attained a second level two certification in sprints, hurdles, and relays traveling to N.C. State.

She had to absorb an abundance of

information both times that ranged from the musculoskeletal system to biomechanics and more.

A benefit from a level-two certification is networking with a vast variety of Olympic-caliber coaches.

The level-two coach will have access to coaches from all over the country that include: professional marathon trainers, college coaches, high school coaches, etc.

Last year, Binder presented the time qualifications that college coaches look for, in regards to giving out scholarships. Collecting the data from active coaches at all levels, it gave athletes a snapshot into what recruiters look for.

Prior to her level-two certification, Binder earned a level-one certification, while attending a three-day class at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore in 2013. With a focus on endurance training, Binder also had to retain terminology from events ranging from the steeplechase to the hammer throw.

The level-one class also emphasized the importance of psychology, physiology, training theory, biomechanics, and principles of mechanics, linear & angular kinetics.

“Since less than 2 percent go on after receiving a level one certification, it shows that you’re really committed

to learning about your craft,” Binder said. “You now have a plethora of coaches that are now your friends that you can bounce off information.”

Binder has been a part of the King George Track and Field Alliance since 2002. She has coached both boys and girls from the middle school level to the high school level. Among her litany of accomplishments are five High School Girls’ Cross Country championships as head coach. As a head coach from the middle school level, she helped athletes transition as beginners to accomplished runners in every aspect of track and field.

Her USATF coaching education has made a tremendous impact on her career.

“One of the things I’ve learned from this continuing education, is the information USATF learned studying the 2012 Olympians from four different countries, in a number of different events,” Binder said. “Before, during and after the Olympics they studied athletes to figure out new and proper training methods.

One of the goals of the USATF is to take what they gained, and slowly teach it—then apply it all the way down to the younger kids.”

The process for coaching athletes is long but precise. It is all about es-

W&L to induct 17 into high school Hall of Fame Friday Richard Leggitt

Also honored will be the 1965 Washington and Lee boys basketball team starting five. Coached by Billy Walker, the 1975 team played the State Championship. According to Lewis, they are the only team in W&L history to have all starters average in double figures: Those inductees are: Larry Green, Jeff Hutt, Les Sisson, Wayne Lewis(Deceased), Wayne White(Deceased).

King George High School volleyball programs on threshold of history Leonard Banks Sports Editor History is within an arm’s reach for King George High School’s volleyball program.

The last time the Foxesl celebrated a district/conference volleyball championship of any kind (varsity) was 1997. Now that the Foxes’ junior varsity has qualified as the top seed to play Courtland on Nov. 5 in the 4A Conference 19 Championship.

The Foxes’ second-seeded varsity team has the potential to play for the title on the same day and location.

Making history has become a distinct possibility.

Junior varsity Junior varsity head coach Drew Wine’s photo of his team, yelling ‘some day’ as they pointed at the school banner at the start of the season soon may become more than just a dream.

In the midst of a successful season (18-8 overall record), and armed with nine sophomores and four freshmen, the team has dominated area competition. On Oct. 24, the team traveled to an invitational tournament at Mills E. Godwin High School in Richmond. The Foxes won all three games in the tournament bronze bracket.

“It’s all about our kids who have dedicated themselves to playing hard

volleyball,” Wine said. “Our girls care about working through the process, getting better techniques and skills, scoring more points and winning.”

Junior varsity: King George versus James Monroe, game one On Oct. 27 at King George High School, the Foxes easily defeated James Monroe in their final regular season match, 25-11, 25-15.

At the start of game one, and under the serve of Brianna Green, the Foxes scored 11 consecutive points, compiling a 12-4 lead. Green’s serves included six aces. Midway through the game, Mya Lyburn buried the Yellow Jackets defense with a 9-0 run that featured five aces. Leading 21-7, and under the server of Libbie Wells, the Foxes closed game one out with a 4-1 run that included two aces from Wells. The Foxes defeated the Yellow Jackets, 25-11.

Junior varsity: King George versus James Monroe, game two At the start of game two, the Yellow Jackets refused to throw in the towel, as they tied the Foxes on two occasions (4-4, 7-7). However, mid-

The Washington and Lee Eagles traveled to Tappahannock to play the always-tough Essex Trojans on Saturday and returned home with a 22-0 defeat.

The loss left W&L with a 5-4 record heading into Friday’s home game against Colonial Beach.

“I was proud of the effort that the team gave against Essex,” said W&L Coach Todd Jones. “We had players playing in different spots due to injuries and those players gave their best effort.

“The defense played well and did a good job of getting to the football all day. Now we have to have a good week of practice and clean up the mistakes and get ready for Colonial Beach.”

Jones said the W&L offense had a difficult challenge against the tough Essex defense without starting quarterback Cullen Bell who was injured.

Washington and Lee managed only 10 first downs and 55 yards passing with Jarett Sumiel and Kewan Dameron doing the passing.

“We were pretty much short handed,” said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis. “Cullen is day to day with a shoulder injury but we hope we will be able to play against Colonial Beach this week.”

Washington and Lee High School will induct an inaugural class of 17 distinguished athletes, coaches, and contributors into the W&L Sports Hall of Fame at halftime of the Washington and Lee versus Colonial Beach high school football game scheduled for 7 p.m. on Friday, according to W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis.

“Please join us for a nostalgic night in Montross on Friday as we pay tribute to a few of the ‘great ones’ who gave us so many fond memories,” Lewis said.

A panel of alumni created the W&L inaugural Hall of Fame class. Lewis said next year a similar-sized class is expected, after which the yearly number will become significantly smaller.

The 2015 inductees to be honored Friday are: Charles Pierce (‘77) Randall Thompson (‘78) Jeff White (‘80) Liz “Chandler” Beckham (‘83) Kenneth Mitchell (“84) Ronald “Tex” Jones (‘85) Albert Haskins(‘98) Michael Clark(‘01) Joe Taylor(‘04) Arthur Jones (Coach) Billy Walker (Coach) Ferdy Fax Chandler (‘61) (Contributor)

way in the game, Wells sparked a King George 7-0 run with a kill. The kill led to a 20-10 Fox lead. Although the Yellow Jackets added five additional points, their back-row or line of defense had collapsed. After an exchange of points due to passing errors, the Foxes closed out the game and match, 24-15.

Chatham re-elected as Circuit Court Clerk Richard Leggitt Longtime Westmoreland Circuit Court Clerk Gwynne Chatham won a convincing victory Tuesday against two aggressive challengers.

Chatham, a Republican who, along with her husband Ken, also owns a Montross alpaca farm, won after a hard campaign that had been nip and tuck for months.

With 100 perent of precincts reporting, unofficial results from the Virginia Board of Elections showed Chatham collecting nearly 2,100 votes, or 58 percent.

Chatham faced two challengers in the contest.

Alisha Smith-Lee garnered nearly 1,200 votes, or 33 percent, while Pamela R. “Pam” Loring netted 315 votes, or 8.75 percent.

“I was very happy with the victory,” Chatham said after the results came in. “It shows the citizens of Westmoreland County have confidence in me. I am grateful for the support of the citizens and I Chatham look forward to the next eight years.”

Chatham has served as Westmoreland Circuit Court Clerk for almost 20 years, Smith-Lee, also of Montross, is a former Westmoreland Deputy Circuit Court Clerk who now works in the office of the Westmoreland County Commonwealth’s Attorney.

She is a Washington and Lee High School graduate who has deep roots in Westmoreland. Her mother and father both worked for the Westmoreland County Sheriff ’s office.

Smith-Lee went to work in the circuit court clerk’s office in 1998 and stayed there until her 2005 move to the office of Westmoreland County Commonwealth’s Office.

Loring, a Stratford Harbor resident, works in the King George Commonwealth Attorney’s

Office. She has been a resident of Westmoreland County for 12 years and before that was teacher.

With her election, Chatham won another coveted eight-year term in the clerk’s office. She took office in 1996 after working as a deputy court clerk for 26 years, going to work shortly after she graduated from Washington and Lee High School.

“I love my job and look forward to going to work every day,” Chatham said.

The incumbent clerk of court received endorsements in her campaign from Congressman Rob Wittman and Delegate Margaret Ransone, both of whom are residents of Westmoreland County. She was also endorsed by both of the county’s current state senators, Ryan McDougle and Richard Stuart.
