Fairview Beach Shoreline study to move forward Phyllis Cook The King George Board of Supervisors took action on Nov. 4 to authorize a request to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers asking for a shoreline protection feasibility study for Fairview Beach under federal flood control legislation of 1946, as amended. County Administrator Travis Quesenberry commented last week on the status of the request for the study. “We look forward to the United States Corps of Engineers’ study and its results,” Quesenberry said. “We have been in contact with Mr. Anthony Clark of the Corps of Engineers. Mr. Clark has initiated creating a new project for the Fairview Beach shoreline protection feasibility study, which will establish a project number and will permit the Corps of Engineers the ability to make funding requests.” Quesenberry relayed that Clark estimated the earliest potential timeframe for funding to be released would be sometime around March 2016. The issue of shoreline erosion has plagued Fairview Beach for decades, with various fixes attempted by the Fairview Beach Residents Association over the years in conjunction with Fairview Beach, LLC. The subdivision was first established in the 1920s.

Prior to the action this month by supervisors, the issue was last publicly discussed at a meeting on Sept. 15. At that time, county attorney Eric Gregory briefed supervisors on the issue. Fairview Beach may not apply directly to the federal government for a shoreline study. “The agreement with the Army Corps of Engineers requires a local sponsor and that sponsor has to be a public entity,” Gregory said. That local sponsor is the county. The two Fairview Beach entities have previously asked King George to request a study, but in the past were unable to commit to providing potential funding to cover the study’s costs, should it exceed the $100,000 covered by federal funding. Supervisors had been reluctant to put the county on the hook for an unknown, potentially unlimited, amount of funding toward the study. The county does have an interest in stemming the continued bank erosion because the King George Service Authority has a wastewater pipe running along the north side of Route 696 between that road and the Potomac River. But the county could instead protect its pipe by initiating a project to move the pipe to the other side of the road. See STUDY, page 4

Debate tense during town council meeting Linda Farneth Three of the ordinances facing the Colonial Beach Town Council passed with little resistance. However Artists are still not satisfied with Ordinance 664 which amended Article 26, Home Occupations. But council’s biggest criticism came at the end of the meeting during public comments. Citizen input during the meeting became quite heated at times, with Mayor Mike Ham having to curtail some audience members from continuing to debate the legal language of the Article 26, after the public hearing portion was closed. During the public hearing Carl B. Thor Co-owner of JerrettThor Fine Art gallery and local artist, Susan Tilt argued that the amendments to Minor Home Occupation restricts sales to “by appointment only.” Both have signed up to participate in the Northern Neck Artisan Trail. The Northern Neck Artisan Trail brings together artists and galleries to form a network throughout the Northern Neck that would allow visitors to stop in and view their work as they travel through the region. Other concerns include the language restricting hazardous chemicals and restricting business to 25 percent or less of the home. Both Thor and Tilt argued that the language was too broad and restrictive. Councilwoman Wanda Goforth felt these requirements are too vague

Lewis sees teacher recruitment as a key to moving schools forward Richard Leggitt The newest At-large member of the Westmoreland School Board believes one of the keys to success for the school system is early recruitment. “We need to start recruiting quality teachers and coaches early,” said Patricia Lewis, who will assume her post in January after winning an election on Nov. 3. Lewis says she wants to see an increase in the proficiency of the school system’s human resources department. “We also need to recruit within our own state. We started off this school year with several long-term substitute teachers,” Lewis declared.

“That can’t happen again.” Lewis is a Washginton and Lee

She is one of three new members to the country’s school board. “We want to provide a state-ofthe-art educational experience for our children by providing adequate facilities and seek out programs that move our schools to a level of excellence,” Lewis said. “And we want to ensure that our tax dollars are being spent wisely.” Lewis expressed interest in strengthening ties between the school board and the Westmoreland Board of Supervisors. “It is our job to work together.

Colonial Beach schools’ new comp plan pledges to bring back recess Linda Farneth The term “Comprehensive Plan” is well used in governments but rarely heard in schools as a tool to achieve academic goals. But Colonial Beach School Superintendent Dr. Kevin Newman has teamed up with principals and key staff at the Colonial Beach Schools to prepare and implement a Comprehensive Plan for educating students. The plan addresses five goals. The first goal centers around making federal and state benchmarks for Standards Of Learning. Goal 2 is to ensure students are taught exemplary 21st-century skills necessary to engage and succeed in a global society. These first two goals are the responsibility of staff. However, Goal 3 involves interaction with not only parents, but the community as a whole. The school system wishes to foster col-

laborative partnerships with families and the school community. To implement this goal, the school division plans to use social media, newspapers, parent-teacher conferences and a variety of other media to provide ongoing communication with all stakeholders. Goal 4, which focuses on ensuring facilities and environments that are safe and conducive to learning, promises to bring back recess for students in grades Pre-K through five. One of the action plans to reach this goal is to implement a research-based, positive schoolwide behavioral framework. Colonial Beach Elementary School has already implemented positive office referrals for good behavior and have seen significant results with a drop in negative office referrals. To promote health and wellness for students and staff, the plan calls for relocating the weight room to

the high school for students and staff to access, began student participation in health and PE courses and offer recess for students in Pre-K through fifth grade starting next school year. The school also plans to offer CPR courses to staff and students entering ninth grade beginning in the 2016-17 school year. These students will also participate in First Aid classes as well. The last goal seeks to attract and retain high-quality faculty and staff by utilizing multiple avenues of recruitment. The school will seek funding opportunities to offer competitive salaries, benefits, professional development and tuition reimbursement. The school will also develop a Capital Improvement Plan to help the Colonial Beach Planning Commission make recommendations to the town council for guidance in improvements needed should local funding become available.

look forward to working with them,” Lewis said. In addition, Lewis said she hoped the new school board will work to improve the professionalism of Westmoreland schools by asking all school employees and board members to return phone calls and emails in a timely fashion. “We need to restore the trust of the Westmoreland populace through transparency and concise decision making,” Lewis said. An important part of that will be the efforts of the new board members to improve teacher recruitment. “Let’s start early and anticipate vacancies and attend more career fairs within our state,” Lewis said.

In the election this month, Lewis won the At-large seat with 67.2 percent of the vote. She will be joined on the school board by Ralph Fallin, who won the District 3 school board seat by defeating incumbent Coralynn “Polly” Wise. Sandra Ramsey was unopposed and becomes the new District 1 board member. Going into the election, voters expressed concerns because the Westmoreland school system has had two superintendents and there have been three principals of Washington and Lee High School in the last 24 months. 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. Lewis, Fallin and Ramsey, will form a new majority on the board and are vowing to help restore the board’s image as well as reenergize the school system as a whole. “There is no question that over the past few years our reputation has been tarnished,” Lewis said. “However, with a new superintendent who is an energetic leader, a fully accredited high school, new recruiting efforts, and a new high school on the horizon, our future is bright.”

Commission eyes town-owned properties on N. Irving Avenue strip Linda Farneth The Colonial Beach Planning Commission has been tasked with evaluating town-owned properties and making recommendations to the Council of how to proceed with marketing or managing them. At its Nov. 12 meeting, the commission reviewed staff recommendations for the vacant properties along North Irving Avenue. The three townowned buildings currently being considered are the Klotz building located at 6 N. Irving Ave., the old police building at 10 N. Irving Ave. and the old town hall building at 18 N. Irving Ave. All three of these buildings have been vacant for quite some time, the Klotz Building is known to have some structural deficiencies. Both the old police building and town hall have been vacated due to mold issues in the past. Building and Zoning staff looked

up the Westmoreland County assessed values of these properties. The Klotz Building is valued at roughly $172,000 by the county. This value breaks down as $55,000 for land value and $117,000 for the structure, which sits on .17 acres. The building was built in 1900 and is documented as serving as the first school in Colonial Beach. The old town hall structure is the most recent building to be vacated due to mold issues. During remediation efforts last year, the town staff discovered that the ventilation ducts were made of wood. During high humidity this fostered mold growth forcing town staff to relocate to the old Primary School Building at 315 Douglas Ave. Old Town Hall was constructed in 1904 and originally served as the Bank of Westmoreland. It is valued at roughly $271,000 by the county. This value breaks down as $30,000 for land value and $14,000 for the

structure which sits on .09 acres. $220,000 is counted as commercial value and another $6,000 accounts for improvements, which are not identified. Assessment of the old police station is a bit more complicated since the land it sits on is shared by the current school board office. The assessed value minus the school board office is approximately $216,000. The police building is valued at $9,500 with a commercial value of $150,000. The portion of land that the police building sits on is assessed at roughly $56,000. However, the lots that the two building sit on were consolidated into one lot prior to 1980.

A Love Affair with the Northern Neck

“Bill Martz has earned his living for years as an artist who brings to life the magic that is the land throughout

the Northern Neck. ---(his) talent has brought forth paintings that replicate what everyone in the Northern Neck, who lives here or has moved here, wants to be a part of, to know, and take unto themselves.” Ruth Herrink King George Journal “---shivering in shore bushes to capture ducks, or tonging with oystermen to learn the weight of their work, (Martz) sensed the rhythms of the Northern Neck and drew accurately from life.” Jane Tims Rappahannock Record “No one captures the essence of life in this region better than Bill Martz.” Mark Huffman

Northern Neck Buyer’s Guide

“Nothing is easier on the eyes, or more pleasing to the soul, than a painting or drawing by Bill Martz.” Kay Kilgus “His work is part of the history of the area.”

Northumberland Echo and Buyers Guide

Angus Murdock

“Martz is a one man chamber of commerce for the Northern Neck and his paintings depict many different aspects of life in our area. (His exhibits are) a never to be forgotten experience.”

“Through necessity, Martz leaves out the raspy quack of the ducks as they flee for the Potomac. But he paints the mood, the chill of the sky and the look of the marsh when the salt meadow hay has turned brown. --- for 29 years (now 37) Martz has specialized in painting and drawing his beloved Northern Neck.” Lawrence Latane III

Richmond Times Dispatch

“---(Martz) got to know the pristine 550 acre parcel along the Potomac River like few others. --George Washington Birthplace Association --- thought an artist with a special eye for nature could capture a side of Washington’s Birthplace many visitors don’t see.” (and requested that Martz paint the Birthplace) Rob Hedelt

Free Lance-Star

“Bill has captured the true watermen in his print (Chesapeake Bay Watermen), and it’s a work that should be cherished and admired by all people!” Founder of the Virginia Waterman’s Association - Doug Jenkins “The whole presentation (the unveiling of a commemorative print) was on a level with a New York art exhibit opening, with the special added touch of Northern Neck history, gentility. and hospitality.” Jean Harper (in an article that appeared in all 5 NN Newspapers) “His art attempts to accurately reflect the region. His sketches of animals, boats and watermen are true representations.” Bob Herres Chesapeake Bay Magazine Bill’s goal was to leave a legacy to the people of the area by capturing what will too soon be gone, living only in memory. The 4 county Commemorative Prints commissioned by the counties (and one by Union Bank), the Colonial Beach Commemorative, The Chesapeake Bay Watermen Commemorative, his book - The Northern Neck Illustrated Journal, the hundreds of original works in oils, acrylics, watercolors, pen and ink, and pencil, and various reproductions are part of that legacy.

Council: Tense exchanges mark citizen comment portion of meeting participate in the Northern Neck Artisan Trail, Thor and Tilt believe the article is still too restrictive for that business venture. Eventually the council asked Planning Commission Chair Robin Schick to brief the council on the commission’s recommendations. Schick reminded both the council and the audience that the current

ordinance is far more restrictive. Shick explained that these rules don’t just apply to artists but to all home occupations. She stated that the commission is not only trying to be business friendly but also protect the neighborhood. She said these small home occupations are going in residential areas, therefore restrictions have to apply or the

business owner needs to apply for a Major Home Occupational Permit. Eventually the ordinance passed with a few word changes but the restrictions still remain. The other three ordinances that past involved; non-restrictive amendments to Commercial Resident zoning, establishing guidelines to allow breweries and approving a Special

Germanna to honor Frieds as 2015 Philanthropists of the Year Staff Report Adam and Rhonda Fried will be honored as the Germanna Community College Educational Foundation’s 2016 Philanthropists of the Year at an event to be held at 6 p.m. on Nov. 20 at Stevenson’s Ridge. “Adam and Rhonda Fried and Atlantic Builders have been longtime friends of Germanna,” said C. Douglas Elliott, the college’s

vice president for institutional advancement and the foundation’s executive director. Elliott said the Atlantic Builders Scholarship the Frieds funded has sent scholars from Germanna “out into every walk of life,” including engineering, medicine and environmental science. The Germanna Educational Foundation will be featuring cuisine from around the world as well as

specialty cocktails. The 2014 Germanna Distinguished Philantrhopist of the Year recipient was Kent Farmer, president and CEO of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative. Other previous winners have included Mary Winn and Charles G. McDaniel, Culpeper Regional Health System, Jane Ingalls, state Sen. John Chichester, Ed Allison, Fred Rankin and Spotsylvania County.

Study: Fairview Beach erosion From page 1 The Virginia Department of Transportation likewise has an interest, since continued erosion could affect Route 696. But this time, the two Fairview Beach entities have formally agreed to foot the potential costs up to an additional $50,000 in non-federal costs by submission of several documents, including a letter of credit in that amount. The Fairview Beach residents association has recently spent almost $48,000 with Bayshore Design for an erosion control engineering plan. That engineering plan is expected to be made available to federal officials, and the money spent on it can count toward an in-kind cost toward any overage should the study cost more than $100,000. It should be remembered this is only the first phase of any potential construction project to be implemented to stem shoreline erosion. The current action only includes a request for feasibility study that might result in a ‘decision document’ for an erosion control solution, if one is recommended. Including costs for the study, the federal government could commit up to $5 million toward implementation costs, developing plans and

specifications, and construction. But several more steps are required along that path, including an environmental study, completed real estate plan, certification that the county has the capability to acquire and provide any required real estate interests, along with identification of the anticipated operation, maintenance, repair, rehabilitation

and replacement activities and estimated costs, including for a technical review. All that and more must take place prior to approval of any shoreline project. The county’s future financial obligation and those of the Fairview Beach entities would likewise have to be determined.

After the hearings, public comments presented more tension when citizen Walter Kern expressed his dismay with council for allowing the Colonial Beach Chamber of Commerce to host the Bike Fest but has not acted on his proposal requesting the town to seek tourism grants to fund a Mini Golf Course.

From page 1

All buildings are zoned Resort Commercial and are designated as Historic Resort Commercial in the towns Future Land Use map. The staff gave three options to the Planning Commission for handling the properties. Option One is the staff 's favored recommendation. It calls for the sale of these properties to be accompanied by a memorandum of understanding that the purchaser re-purpose the original buildings. Staff recommends encouraging buyers to use the buildings for mixed-use design. With commercial space on the ground floors and residential space above. Staff 's reasoning for this option is that the current downtown is zoned resort commercial. Singlefamily residences are severely limited in this area and no new single-family dwelling can be added. However, “Mixed Use” is a new zoning and requires a Conditional Use Permit. Option Two is to sell to parties interested in total redevelopment. Staff recommends future development should follow architectural styles withing the North Irving corridor. For Option Three, staff recommends holding onto the properties until funds are available to renovate by the town before selling or to wait for property values to rise. The planning commissioners are treading lightly on these recommendation and have expressed a desire to seek guidance from an

experienced commercial real estate agency. Commission recommendations for town owned property in the past have not been followed by the council. Case in point: The Commission recommended holding on to Eleanor

Park, located near the end of the point in Colonial Beach. The commissioners suggested turning it into public space with minimal investment until property values rise. However, the town council voted to put the property up for sale.

Hunters for the Hungry needs our help Mark Fike

Hunters are the greatest conservationists that exist due to their efforts and funds spent to help both game and non-game animals, set aside land for wildlife to thrive on, restoration efforts for habitat and many other things. Many hunters also do a lot of other good deeds through their passion for the outdoors to include helping those in need. One of the greatest success stories that Virginia hunters can claim is feeding those in need of protein. Since 1991, hunters, through Virginia’s Hunters for the Hungry program, have provided more than 23 million servings of meat for those in need. The meat is venison which is low fat, high protein.

If hunters are fortunate enough to take an extra deer, they are asked to donate it to a local processor in the program. In our area the closest processor is Silver Ridge Custom Butcher in Stafford County off Route 218. From the Passapatanzy area the drive is approximately 10 minutes. We all have heard of hunters bragging about how good they are at hunting. The next time you hear a buddy or club member start to pop off about all the deer they see, challenge them to legally harvest a deer and take it to Silver Ridge and donate it. All it will cost the hunter is their tag and the fuel to get the deer to the processor. Hunters need only cleanly field dress the deer; leave the hide on the

The meat is distributed through various food banks, the Salvation Army, and churches. Hunters for the Hungry claims only 11.2 percent of their funds go toward fundraising or administration while the rest goes to actual program operations. It is no secret that the economy downturn caused issues for many families around the state. Some of those families were hunters. Many were not hunters. Hunters for the Hungry reached a peak of 407,796 pounds of venison distributed in 2010. Hemorrhagic disease hit Virginia hard the past few years in various regions and donations of whitetail deer to processors dropped off. This year Hunters for the Hungry has a goal of providing 325,000 pounds of venison. However, they need our help.

deer. Hunters are asked to take only mature, full-sized deer to the processor so that donated funds to Hunters for the Hungry can be utilized to the fullest possible extent. Most processors charge a flat rate for a deer no matter the size. Hunters for the Hungry is a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation. All financial donations are tax deductible. Individuals can donate financially to the Hunters for the Hungry by sending a check to Hunters for the Hungry P.O. Box 304, Big Island, Virginia. According to Hunters for the Hungry, a $45 check will ensure 200 servings will be distributed to those in need. Any amount of donation is welcome but that figure gives readers and hunters a starting point. Besides donating a deer and hav-

ing another reason to keep hunting after your freezer is filled, hunters can enjoy a chance to win one of 25 prizes that will be awarded to hunters donating deer this season. Green Top Hunting and Fishing in Ashland, Virginia is donating many of the prizes. When donating a deer to the local processors, hunters will receive a ticket to complete to be entered in the drawing taking place April 15th. Each deer donated gets the hunter a ticket. Some of the prizes include a $1,000 Greentop Shopping spree, Big Green Egg Grill, muzzleloaders, crossbows, handguns, rifles, shotgun and many more prizes. Again, simply donate a legally harvested, mature deer for a chance to win. Check out their website at www.h4hungry. org for details.

As firearms deer season begins and the holiday season begins, please take care to be safe while afield. A lot more hunters are likely going to be in search of a deer to fill a tag. Keep in mind that blaze orange is required and hunters should exercise caution to know what is beyond the area where they are shooting.

Drifters fall to William Campbell Generals

Leonard Banks

It was a dominating performance during the first round of the 4A Regional playoffs and a matter of redemption for Courtland, as they shut King George out, 42-0.

Courtland Cougars shutout Foxes in Regionals Leonard Banks Sports Editor On Nov. 13 at Courtland High School during the first round of the Group 4A Regional playoffs, lightning did not strike twice for the visiting King George High School Foxes’ varsity football team (6-5). Dominated on both sides of the ball, top-seeded Courtland (9-2) shut out King George, 42-0. Overwhelmed with emotion after the game, Courtland head coach, J.C. Hall said: “This team came to play tonight. You can call it payback or redemption.” On Oct. 23, the Foxes did the unthinkable by shutting the conference-leading Cougars out for nearly three quarters. Although the Cougars managed to score two touchdowns before the end of the game, it was apparent the Foxes were on track for a post-season berth. A determined Cougars’ team later went on a tear, by winning three games in a row, including a 41-6 victory against James Monroe. During the three-game run, the Cougars scored 146 points while giving up just six points. The Foxes never got any closer than the 20-yard line and that possession eventually ended up in a 52-yard missed field goal. The Cougar defense fed on Fox miscues, by playing a mistake-free game.

“We know we didn’t execute last time, but we executed tonight,” Hall said. “Anytime you can shut a team out in the first round says a lot; we will be ready for the second round, whoever it is.” On the Cougars’ opening 60-yard drive, Victor Green scored on a 14-yard touchdown run. On the ensuing King George possession, the Foxes attempted to cut the score to 7-3, but missed on a 52yard field goal attempt. In the closing seconds of the first quarter, Cougar fullback, George Hokenson bolted up the middle of the Foxes’ defense for a 52-yard touchdown. With 5:30 left in the first half, the Cougars capitalized on a fumble and face mask penalty to score on a fleeflicker pass from Jabari Allen to Nick Grant. Faced with the wrath of a hostile Cougar defense, and an overzealous offense, the Foxes’ attempts to rally fell short throughout the second half. A confident Cougar offense started the second half by eating up seven minutes and 56 seconds off the clock before Hokenson scored on a two-yard run to give the Cougars a 28-0 lead. The Cougars sealed the Foxes fate in the fourth quarter with a Hokenson one-yard touchdown lunge and Victor Greene’s 29-yard touchdown run.

Whether it was the Region 4A East Cross Country Championship or the VHSL State Cross Country Championships, the King George High School Foxes’ cross country boys’ and girls’ teams held their own. During the Nov. 4 Region 4A East Championship at Windsor Castle Park in Smithfield, both the boys’ and girls’ teams qualified for the state championship. Jacob Watson led the boys’ team as he earned All-Region honors with a fourth-place season-best finish (15:46.90). The boys placed fifth overall with a score of 150. As for the girls, Aubrey Wingeart led the Lady Foxes with a fifth-place finish and season-best time of 19:06. The girls’ team placed fourth overall with a score of 145. Overall, the Foxes had five girls

and six boys put up season-best performances. Standouts for the boys included James Peed and Jarrod Brem. The girls duo of Clara Snow and Ellie Bailey aided their team with significant performances. In the wake of numerous strong King George performances, Foxes’ head coach Paul Koepfinger said:“This was a banner day for King George cross-country qualifying both of our teams for states. I don’t believe that has ever occurred in the same season. “Both Aubrey and Jacob ran very smart, tactical races that enabled them to achieve their success. Once again the totality of our teams was put to the test, and the group stepped up, with 10 of our 14 runners turning in season best times. “This is the time of year you want to see athletes peaking and with that man runners doing so at a champi-

Turner connected with Michael Mothershead for the two-point conversion that gave Colonial Beach a 60-59 lead. However, with 84 yards to cover in 80 seconds, the Generals scored the winning touchdown. Lucas finished the game with 189 yards and three touchdowns. The Drifters’ Cameron Headley and Turner combined for three scores. —Staff Report

William Campbell High School’s Tyrell Staten made the most of his team’s first-round Regional 1A East showing Friday in Naruna against Colonial Beach (3-7). With 33 seconds left in the game, Staten scored the game-winning touchdown that gave the Generals (8-3) a 67-60 win versus the visiting Drifters.

onship meet, it shows that these runners understand they were committed to the train plan and strategy. Also, it’s nice to see runners like James, Jarrod, Clara and Ellie being impact athletes; it’s a testament to the fact that the next man up is critical to the total team success when one or two others are not having their best day.” During the Nov. 13 VHSL State Cross Country Championship in Plains, Watson led the boys’ team with a 14th place finish (16:55.00). As for the Foxes girls, Aubrey Wingeart placed 31st with a time of 20:33.00. Foxes boys’ results included: Jonathan Watson, 70th, 18:13.00; Jarrod Brem, 79th, 18:222.00; Brian Greeley, 87th, 18:34.00; James Peed, 94th, 18:52.00; Abraham Martinez, 95th, 18:54.00; William Stevenson, 96th, 18:59.00; team, 12th, 279 points. Foxes girls’ results included: Hannah Koepfinger, 41st, 20:50.00; Brooke West, 77th, 22:20.00; Maddie Amos, 82nd, 22:40.00; Molly Desque, 84th, 22:48.00; Clara Snow, 85th, 22:50.00; Ellianna Baily, 94th, 23:29.00; team, ninth, 246 points.

It’s official; in the fall of 2016, King George High School senior Alexis Sheehan will attend UVAWise. Now that she has signed her letter of intent, the athletic and academic world has become her oyster. Sheehan will major in computer science/engineering and dedicate her athletic abilities to softball for the Cavaliers. On Nov. 10 in the King George High School library, Sheehan’s parents, sibling, grandparents, coaches, teammates and teachers gathered to witness her signing. “I’m really excited, because I’ve always wanted to play softball, and the fact that I am actually going to continue it, is just amazing,” Sheehan said. “It’s awesome to see everyone here supporting me.” During the last four seasons, Sheehan has played a crucial role in the Foxes’ softball program’s success. As an eighth-grader, she helped King George win the junior varsity softball championship, and the season as runner-up tournament champions. In her ninth-grade season, she earned All-District Infield 2nd Base and Honorable Mention All-Area honors. During the 2013 season, Sheehan contributed to the team’s district

championship, district tournament championship, regional championship and VHSL semi-final performance. As a shortstop in her junior year, Sheehan was voted 1st Team AllConference Infield, 1st Team All-Region, and 1st Team All-Area Infield. Most notably, she helped her team win the 2015 Conference 22 Championship, before finishing the season as a regional semi-finalist. The versatile athlete also played basketball as a freshman and junior (guard, forward). During her fall years Sheehan earned the following

field hockey accolades: junior varsity eighth grade, forward/midfield, Coaches Award; varsity ninth grade, mid-field, 2012 District Tournament Qualifier, Region 1 Quarterfinalist Tournament; 10th grade, forward/ midfield; 11th grade, mid-field, First Team All-Conference Honorable Mention, All-Area Team; 12th grade, mid-field, Second Team All-Conference Mid-Field. Standing by the quote, “Don’t let success get to your head or failure to your heart,” Sheehan is destined to make positive choices on her way to a life filled with achievement.

Washington & Lee loses to East Rockingham in 2A-East playoff game Richard Leggitt The Washington and Lee Eagles lost their first-round 2A-East playoff game at home Friday night, falling to East Rockingham High School, 35-21. Coach Todd Jones’ young team, which had gained experience as the season progressed, could not keep pace to Rockingham’s early scoring. “When you make mistakes in the playoffs, good teams are going to take advantage of them. That is what happen against East Rockingham. We got behind and just could not catch up after making mental mistakes,” Jones said. “I was proud of how hard the team played the entire game. These young men did not quit. I was proud of the effort this team gave all season during the practices and games. They are a bunch of fine young men and it is hard to see this senior class go,” Jones said. East Rockimgham scored in the first quarter and then twice in the second quarter to lead 21-0 at the half. W&L got on the board in the third quarter with a four-yard run by Jarret Sumiel. An attempt at a twopoint conversion failed. Later in the third quarter, Sumiel

had a 51-yard run for a touchdown and Matt Squires kicked the extra point, but East Rockingham also scored a running touchdown so the third quarter ended with Washington and Lee on the short end of a 2813 score. In the fourth quarter, Eagles quarterback Cullen Bell scampered 10 yards for a touchdown and then passed to JaQuan Ball for a two point conversion, but Rockingham moved forward with a 62-yard touchdown pass to set the final score at 35-21. Bell rushed for 44 yards and one touchdown for the game while passing for 63 yards in an 8 for 17 effort. He had two interceptions. Sumiel had 79 yards on six carries for the W&L offense which never got untracked. Stevie Preston led the Eagles’ defense with six tackles. Maxwell Davies had three tackles for the Eagles plus a sack of the East Rockingham quarterback. “Many of these players worked extremely hard in the off season and it paid off for them,” said Coach Jones. “I hope the younger players understand the importance of the off season conditioning and the role it plays in having a successful season.”

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

King George’s economy is in good shape Many people, perhaps understandably, consider economics to be boring. And maybe it is, but perhaps the problem is the way people look at the subject. Economics is nothing more than a representation of the human experience. We work, we buy, we sell, we go into business, David S. Kerr and we go out of business. We lose jobs, we get new jobs, and we save and invest. And that’s by no means all of the

economic activity we can engage in. But, that sums up the part most people are interested in, and it defines, at least in numbers, quite a bit of what we do in our lives. So maybe economics isn’t quite as dull as you might thing. In King George the statistics, and the economic measurements can tell us a lot about the community. For one thing, the unemployment rate in the county is one of the lowest in Virginia at 4.4 percent. However, percentages can be a little impersonal. So, let’s make it more real. What that means, is that while some people are still out looking for jobs, some 11,332 of our neighbors, real people, with real families are going to work

Restoring certainty to the federal budget By U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine The House and Senate recently passed a bipartisan budget deal that addresses spending caps, the debt limit, Medicare premiums, Social Security Disability Insurance and many other items important to Virginians. This budget addressed issues that Congress desperately needed to tackle, and I’m happy to have voted in favor of the deal. Nearly three years ago, I arrived in the Senate, calling for action to prevent the non-strategic, acrossthe-board cuts we call sequester that would hurt our national security and economy. The across-the-board cuts were set up to be so terrible that they would never be allowed to go into effect, yet they have been in place for three years. Under sequestration, we’ve seen devastating effects, particularly in the defense community but also in the broader economy. In 2013, I supported a budget deal crafted by Senator Patty Murray and Representative Paul Ryan because it provided some relief to defense and non-defense programs from the arbitrary sequester caps and gave certainty to businesses and families around the Commonwealth, but it still left a spending policy put in place in 2011, to drive decisionmaking in 2015 when threats from ISIL and increasing cyber-attacks weren’t foreseen. Without further action, these cuts would still be on the table this year without another compromise. This new deal provides more than $100 billion in sequester relief over two years for both defense and non-defense purposes, providing much-needed certainty for Virginia’s families while helping businesses and the defense community better plan for the future. It also prevents certain Medicare beneficiaries from experiencing a significant increase in premiums next year and protects disabled Americans from a potential twenty percent reduction in benefits. The deal also raises the debt ceiling, avoiding a catastrophic default on our debt, which would have roiled I.M.H.O. (In my humble opinion) I’m a little confused about the voting numbers as reported by the VA Board of Elections. KG has 14,956 registered voters as of Nov. 1, 2015. According to “election night results,” 5,858 voters cast ballots. Well, that’s the highest total showing for one office. Why was the turnout so low? 39% voted, and not on the whole ballot. Those that didn’t vote will howl next year. Just watch.

and getting paid. Just two years ago that number was lower and we had an unemployment rate of 6.7%. That wasn’t healthy and seemed to indicate that we were taking a lot longer to recover from the recession than other communities. But, let’s take these numbers apart just a little bit further. Out of the total number of persons employed, a large number work for the government and primarily for the Department of Defense. According to one recent survey, roughly 4,300 residents of King George work for the federal government. It’s no wonder that when sequestration comes up (that’s the automatic across the board reductions in the Federal Budget) or

cuts to defense, that there is certain level of anxiety in the community. Our Congressman, Rob Wittman, is no fan of sequestration. In addition to direct federal employment, there are a number of defense-related contractors based in the county. Most of them support the large-scale research and development spending at the Dahlgren Naval Base. Make no mistake, Uncle Sam is our main economic driver and without federal spending King George would be a very quiet place. According to a list of employers, DOD is number one, followed by the School System, the county and Walmart. But there is more to economics than just employment numbers. The

Letter to the Editor: On November 3, Americans once again experienced one of their greatest freedoms – another free and fair election. I would like to thank the dedicated Officers of Election who stepped up to serve the community on this day, enduring long hours for minimal compensation. We are fortunate to have so many dedicated volunteers who ensure that our County residents can exercise their right to vote efficiently and with all the protections for a private vote. Additionally, we were greatly supported by County Deputies who helped with our emergency planning as well as frequent patrols throughout the day. Much gratitude goes out to the school principals and custodians who supported us in the precincts.

financial markets. I especially applaud the fact that this will be another two-year budget deal. Two-year budgets provide certainty, which has a significant positive impact on the economy. I came to the Senate a strong supporter of two-year budgeting due to my experience as governor, and it is good to see others in Congress finally embracing this helpful reform. The agreement is not perfect. I, for one, wish we were able to fully replace sequestration and reach a long-term budget deal to address the debt, make Medicare and Social Security solvent over the long term and reform the tax code. But the reality is this deal is a dramatic improvement over the threat of a government debt default, more indiscriminate budget cuts and crisis budgeting. The budget agreement also proves that Congress is still able to find meaningful compromise, and I look forward to working across the aisle on other issues impacting our families and businesses, from strengthening our schools to fixing our roads and bridges.

age and nature of the population is important too. The county’s median age, which means half the county is older than that and half younger, is 36. It also means that a large percentage of the county population, being slightly on the young middleaged side, is in the workforce. Alas, I am not on the young middle aged side. I am more on the older middle-aged side. Sigh. Oh well, who says statistics can’t produce an emotional reaction. Anyway, back to the topic, a large number of them, a higher percentage than the counties to our north following I-95 are married. And

most interesting, and something the school system knows well, 38 percent of the families in King George have dependent children. This isn’t an unusual breakdown and is almost identical to the statistics in neighboring Stafford. King George, by all reasonable economic measures is doing well. Its citizens are working and its workforce, in terms of education, is exceptionally well qualified. And we should be pleased with that. Because while sometimes we worry about our jobs, budget cuts, or planning for retirement, the county’s economy is still in pretty good shape.

SUDOKU

And finally, this year a big thank you goes out to these wonderful area businesses for supporting us: WalMart donated 12 cases of bottled water; and pizzas were donated for the Officers of Election from Domino’s Pizza in Dahlgren and in King George; King George House of Pizza; Kings Pizza; and Pizza Bono. I am honored to have the support of a wonderful Electoral Board: Rick Crookshank, Nancy Lambert, and John Nelson and my dedicated hardworking office staff for Election Most Day: Sheila Fincannon, Insurance Betsy Crookshank, Lillian Remsen and Elsie FerAccepted rell. Thank you for the privilege of serving the citizens of King George County.

Surprising facts about fleas and ticks Fleas and ticks rely on blood for food. They are the vampires of the pet realm, silently stalking companion animals wherever they go. Once fleas and ticks find a victim, they are bound to stay around for a while, enjoying the free meal. Fleas, in particular, can grow quite fond of a cat or dog — reproducing and quickly building an infestation. Few people are enamored with fleas and ticks, but learning a little more about them can help pet owners understand their behaviors and how to best keep their pets safe. Fleas have four life stages: egg, larva, pupa, and biting adult. Most people are familiar with the adult stage because those are the most noticeable and painful. Fleas can feed on just about any blood host. Scientists know of more than 2,000 species and subspecies of fleas. However, in North America, the cat flea (ctenocephalides felis) is responsible for the majority of cat and dog infestations. Female fleas are typically larger than the males and are responsible for proliferating the flea brood. Females can consume up to 15 times their body weight in blood every day. This helps to fuel egg-laying, which can take place within 36 to 48 hours of the female’s first meal. In her lifetime, a female flea can lay roughly 2,000 eggs. Fleas are wingless parasites that get around by jumping from host to host. If they don’t have to expend too much energy (i.e. get comfortable on a host), they can go anywhere from between two months and 100 days without a meal. Fleas can jump up to eight inches high,

enabling them to grab onto a passing meal source. A typical flea can live for a few months, and fleas can carry a number of different diseases. From plague to cat scratch fever to tapeworms, fleas can make pets ill and also affect people who interact with them. Ticks are not insects; they are arachnids. That means they are more closely related to spiders and scorpions. The stages of the tick include the egg, larva, nymph, and adult. Depending on the species, nymph ticks can be quite small to the naked eye. Ticks’ small stature can make them difficult to detect until they have become engorged with blood. The University of Rhode Island’s Center for Vector-Borne Disease and its TickEncounter Resource Center says that spring is a prime

This antique toolbox has never left the Northern Neck. It was made by a master carpenter at the end of the nineteenth century, and has descended through his family thereafter. The woods are pine and oak, and the interior has four trays, two each stacked one upon another. The present owner uses it for the same purpose for which his ancestor made it. Unfortunately, having made the box for himself, he did not sign it. As a utilitarian piece, the box has never had a finish applied to it. Pieces with this level of provenance are always popular. To know who made an item, and when he or she lived and operated adds significantly to the value of any piece. This one is especially refined, given Henry Lane the design of the interior trays and Hull the solidity of the construction. I suggest looking at the tools as well, to see if any are hand-forged, or have early company names on them. Today many such pieces are refinished to become coffee tables, thereby preserving them, but altering their original purpose. That this one still is a toolbox is impressive. The box alone is worth $250, and the tools should add considerably to its overall value. I sold a similar one 30 years ago, after which the buyer showed me how he had refinished it, regrettably thereby decimating its value. The provenance should be written up, and kept with the box for future generations to know of its importance in passing along family lore and tradition. The toolbox-to -coffee table fad of the 1970s and 1980s seems to have abated, The “sprucing up” of such pieces for their new function led to the lessening of their value. To convert a toolbox to another purpose is fine, but the value can be maintained only by preserving as much of its originality as possible. This one is a real gem, and an authentic piece of Northern Neck history. Happy Antiquing!

time for the birth of new ticks. During this time of year, ticks are on the hunt for their next meals. Ticks can be carriers of a number of diseases, but it’s important to note that a tick has to be attached for longer than 24 hours to transmit diseases to a host. That means checking animals (and yourself) for ticks frequently can help avoid the spread of illness. Ticks don’t jump or fall from trees. The parasites crawl upward, so start looking from the feet, moving up. In addition, check a dog’s face, where a tick may latch on while the dog is sniffing in the grass. Ticks and fleas are pesky critters that can carry disease. Consult with your veterinarian if you suspect your dog has a tick or flea problem to get the situation under control. Preventative collars and medications can help repel fleas and ticks as well.
