King George County government enters new legal services arrangement Phyllis Cook The King George Board of Supervisors approved a new arrangement for provision of its legal services, while retaining the current county attorney, Eric Gregory, at least through the end of April 2016. Chairman Jim Howard made the announcement on Dec. 1 following a closed session for personnel discussions regarding the county attorney. “The county attorney has submitted a resignation effective Jan 1. We would like to enter into a contract with his new firm, Hefty Wiley & Gore for a four-month term commencing Jan. 1,” Howard said. “This would pretty much get us through the budget cycle, and then to go month –to-month after that.” A motion to that effect for adoption of a two-page letter of agreement was unanimously adopted by the board.
Gregory has been in the position since February 2013. Prior to his hiring, the county had used the services of Hefty & Wiley, as it was called then, to retain Jeff Gore to fill in for about 18 months after the previous county attorney had vacated the position. The new agreement, effective Jan. 1, will provide comprehensive legal services to the county, with the arrangement expected to reduce the county attorney’s budget with a flat fee of $10,000 per month. Travis Quesenberry, county administrator, explained the cost reduction. “The fiscal year 2015-16 budget for the County Attorney office is $223,370. Of this amount, approximately $185,000, about $15,400 per month, is for salary and benefits for the county attorney and the part-time paralegal position,” Quesenberry said.
“The agreement the board approved is for Hefty, Wiley & Gore to provide legal and paralegal services for $10,000 per month, over $5,000 per month less than the county is currently paying for the county attorney and paralegal positions.” Quesenberry said the person occupying the part-time paralegal position will stay on, but not as a paralegal, to help fill another vacancy. Gregory is pleased with the new arrangement. “Joining Hefty, Wiley & Gore means a great deal to me, professionally, and I’m honored that they invited me to join the firm,” Gregory said. “I’ll have the privilege to continue to represent King George County and also to positively impact local governments generally across the commonwealth See ATTORNEY, page 4

Details emerge on Route 3 study Phyllis Cook The Virginia Department of Transportation is unveiling its latest draft of a planning study to improve the efficiency of the Route 3 corridor between US 301 in King George and the Robert O. Norris Bridge in Lancaster County. Route 3 is the only roadway in the Northern Neck running the entire length of the peninsula, traversing more than 71 miles from U.S. 301 to the Rappahannock River at White Stone, with about 55 of those miles consisting of two-lanes with little opportunity for passing. The study addresses four-laning Route 3 as a preferred future longterm goal but says the estimated $400 million cost is prohibitive in the near term. “The construction of a duallane facility for the length of the Northern Neck is impractical, as such an expenditure cannot be justified on the basis of safety or congestion,” the study states.
“Traffic volumes on Route 3 continue to increase and solutions are needed to relieve both daily delays and seasonal congestion.” The draft recommends construction of several three-lane or four-lane sections of passing lanes at selected segments along Route 3 as a short-term solution. The draft proposes twelve projects for sections of Route 3, estimated at $83.7 million including preliminary engineering, right-of-way/utilities and construction costs, with estimates in today’s 2015 dollars. Three of those projects are recommended as priorities, with one in eastern King George and two located in Westmoreland. The eastern King George project, as conceived in September with a cost of $8 million, was previewed at that time when transportation officials asked King George to allow it for submission under a new funding mechanism, called HB2 funding. The project was described as
four-laning a 1.5 mile stretch of Route 3 from Index to Rollins Fork, between Routes 625 (Salem Church Road) and 627 (Kings Mill Road) to provide an area where vehicles could pass. In addition to some road realignment, a couple of sections of smaller roads were proposed to be closed off to help minimize traffic conflict points. A portion of the cost would go toward acquisition of land those along Route 3 to enable the widening. That request was nixed by supervisors at that time, since it was the first the board had heard of the proposal. Shiloh Supervisor Cedell Brooks objected. “It’s right down the middle of Shiloh district,” Brooks said, adding the project needed airing to residents. Supervisor Ruby Brabo agreed, See ROUTE 3, page 4
In addition to the King George County Board of Supervisors, the county’s planning commission has sent a list of comments on changes being considered by the Virginia Department of Mines Minerals & Energy for oil and gas drilling, or fracking, in this part of the Commonwealth, known in state code and regulations as the “Tidewater.” Fracking is the current method of drilling for natural gas by highpressure injection of chemicals and large amounts of water through a pipe into rock formations thousands of feet underground, creating cracks in the ancient shale beds to allow the extraction of natural gas. Commissioners were informed at the Dec. 8 meeting that comments as discussed at the November meeting had been submitted by Chairman Josh Colwell for the state’s Dec. 4 deadline on rule changes for oil and gas drilling, referred to as “fracking.” The amendments for Tidewater would require drillers to reveal all ingredients used in any hydraulic fracturing operations; a public preapplication meeting in the drilling
locality; groundwater baseline sampling, analysis and monitoring plan with subsequent sampling and testing; submission of an emergency response plan; and various certifications to include agreement to comply with all local land use ordinances. The commission’s letter included comments agreeing with the state’s proposal to disclose all ingredients. That would help in the event of aquifer contamination, and also in case of chemical spills or industrial accidents, so victims and first responders would have full knowledge of all chemicals involved. It also concurred with requiring different rules for the Tidewater region and the need for baseline groundwater testing/monitoring. The commission’s comments asked for a ban on open pit storage of chemicals and fracking wastewater due to the risks of contamination due the proximity to the Chesapeake Bay, its rivers, tributaries, streams, and extensive marsh and wetland habitats. The comments also addressed the need to increase the value of bonding from the current $25,000, saying the
amount “is wholly inadequate given the unique nature of the Tidewater region and the underlying aquifer. Since the aquifer is such a vital resource, its contamination by oil and gas drilling would have devastating and dire consequences which would be irreversible. Since the value of the aquifer is “priceless”, bond requirements should at a minimum be in the Millions or Billions.” The Planning Commission’s comments also urged tightening regulations for disposal of oil and gas drilling liquid waste. “The disposal of liquid wastes from oil and gas drilling should be further regulated and the spreading of these materials on roadways, forests, and agricultural land should not be permitted,” Colwell stated in the letter. The final comment from the planning commission urged rules be tightened governing the siting, hours of operation, noise limits, and lighting of compressor stations, processing facilities, and scrubbers used in the exploration and production of oil and gas in the Tidewater region.

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS
McAuliffe’s prospects are still bright going into second half of his term By David S. Kerr Its tough being governor of Virginia. While it comes with lots of prerogatives and powers, it’s term limited and that means the state’s chief executive gets only so much time to build a record and a legacy. And all governors want a legacy. Chuck Robb invested in David S. Kerr schools, Gerry Baliles in roads, and George Allen abolished parole.
Jim Gilmore got rid of the car tax and Mark Warner balanced the books. The problem is, that for all of these accomplishments, these governors and others have had the help of a cooperative legislature. Or, at least one they could work with. Unfortunately, that’s something Gov. Terry McAuliffe has never had. He made a big play during the recent State Senate elections to pick up enough seats to give the Democrats a majority in the upper chamber, but in spite of his efforts it didn’t happen. Admittedly, his push to tilt the narrow majority in the State Senate from the Republicans to the Democrats was a long shot. But the governor and his people, to their credit, have a little of the spirit of

the gambler in them, and are willing to take a political risk from time to time. It was, in a sense, a toss of the dice. If a very few scattered seats had gone Democratic then the governor would be looking at a much more friendly legislature. With a majority in the Senate, it would have made working with the House much easier. Who knows, even some version of Medicaid expansion, McAuliffe’s number one priority, might have passed. But the election results weren’t good, and so that’s not going to happen. Some have said the Governor is already a lame duck. Not only with the legislature, but within his own
party as well. Such epitaphs are easy to write, but in McAuliffe’s case, they’re way off the mark. McAuliffe is a highly active chief executive and like any practical politician he has no choice but to view the defeat in November as one of those things that happen. Besides, he’s already well on the way to establishing a legacy, and politically, his future is still bright. Not long after taking office, the governor made it clear that he wanted to focus on economic development. But, that said, he wanted to change the focus to businesses that are less dependent on federal spending. That’s a tall order, but he’s been effective at it. He’s done a good job at being

Its highly unlikely he’ll ever be on a ballot again, but he is wholly committed to delivering purple Virginia into the Democratic column in 2016. If he does that, his political legacy, his power in the Democratic party, and his prospects, will be especially bright.

Virginia’s top salesman and a lot of people, who now have a reliable pay check, or will in the future, have McAuliffe to thank for it. McAuliffe will go down as the economic development governor and that’s a good legacy. But, he also will be remembered for trying to push Virginia towards expansion of Medicaid as a part of the Affordable Care Act. In other words, in many people’s view, trying to do the right thing. He passionately believes this is good for Virginia and he has never wavered in that view.

AREA DEATH MICHAEL WAYNE PEARSON
The world lost one of its kindest, most gentle souls on December 5, 2015 with the passing of Michael Wayne Pearson. He passed with peace and grace with his family at his side after a short, but hard fought battle with cancer. Mike was born on April 16, 1955 to the late George and Lucille Pearson. He has a brother Doug. He was also preceded in death by his father-in-law Bob Walters. After his mother’s passing, he was a devoted son to his father, and cared for him daily. He was born and raised in Colonial Beach, VA, and graduated from Colonial Beach High School in 1974. He had a great affection for the Town of Colonial Beach, and was at times heralded as the self-proclaimed mayor. He was the owner of Pearson Enterprise, LLC, a member of the Colonial Beach Moose Lodge, The Eagles Aerie 4315, and American Legion Post 148. He worked hard, but liked to play hard too. Mike enjoyed life on every level, with his wife and soul mate Susan, whom he adored. He was a proud and loving father to his children Cory (Jessica) and Courtney (Jenson), and

his step-daughter Niki. He had eight grandchildren, whom he considered his most treasured gifts in life. He left an indelible impression everywhere he went, and never met a stranger. He could put a smile on your face with his hearty laugh, funny sayings, and genuine love and concern for others. He was a friend who would stand by your side no matter what. It is no doubt that Heaven will be a little brighter with Mike in it. It is quite likely he made a stop at the Rainbow Bridge on his way, and picked up Jagger, his loving Lab companion whom he has missed so much, and they will now spend eternity together. Mike will be missed by so many, and will remain in our hearts forever. Instead of flowers or donations, the family requests an unexpected, unsolicited act of kindness from you for someone in need, in his name. This would definitely put a smile on Mike’s face. Mike’s family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all close friends who have offered their love and support. Also, a special thank you to Randy Hilker for his unconditional support and kindness. You have all made a huge difference during this difficult time. Family and friends will celebrate Mike’s life on January 2, 2016 at High Tides Restaurant in Colonial Beach, VA from 3-7 p.m.

Richards: Avoid scams
Four Seasons Florist opens new location “We’re more visible and we have the ability to have walk-in customers,” said Fisher, who handles much of the floral arranging himself. “I grew up in the business. I was 10 when my parents first opened their shop and my mother taught me floral arrangements. I have two part-time employees who help me, but I still do most of the arrangements.” Fisher, who is employed by a civilian contractor at Dahlgren, does much of his work after hours. “I check in with the shop every day at noon, but most of my work is done in the evenings or on the weekends,” he said. Fisher and Four Seasons work to help customers plan for any event or occasion. They offer bouquets, arrangements and on-site decorating for weddings, parties or other special occasions. They offer green plants, blooming plants, dish gardens, fruit baskets, gift baskets, baby gifts, greeting cards, home decor, scented candles, silk flowers as well as stuffed animals
Richard Leggitt Just in time for the holidays, Colonial Beach’s Flowers for the Four Seasons has expanded and moved to a new prominent location to offer bouquets, floral arrangements, antiques and decor for Christmas shoppers. “We’ve been very busy,” said Four Seasons employee Tara Seeber of Colonial Beach. “We are doing a lot of table arrangements for people’s homes.” Working from their new location at 420B Colonial Ave., just across the street from 7-Eleven, owner Don Fisher and florist Tina Clayton are handling the requests for holiday arrangements and bouquets. “For my customers, I will go to their homes and help them decorate for the holidays. Other times of the year we help plan for weddings or funerals,” said Don Fisher, a graduate of Washington and Lee High School who grew up in the Leedstown community and still lives in the historic Westmoreland community, not farm from where his grandparents operated a store at Oak Grove. “I like to go that extra mile,” Fisher said. Fisher’s parents, Donald and Betty Fisher opened a florist shop in Colonial Beach in 1974 and saw it through several ups and downs until Don took over. Most recently the store was located in the back of his parents former bed and breakfast on Monroe Avenue. “We needed a new location, we needed more visibility,” said Fisher. “Some people did not even realize that there was a florist shop in Colonial Beach.” That won’t be a problem at the new Four Seasons location.
birth certificate. And, don’t hesitate to contact store security.” A King George native, Richards has been with the sheriff ’s office since graduating from college. She was a patrol officer and then a detective for more than 20 years before she started working with Triad. “I was very close to my grandparents growing up,” Richards said. “I just have a passion for dealing with seniors. You want their lives to be peaceful and honored. Being part of Triad and helping educate seniors hopefully helps them not be victims.”

Fracking: Commission debates regs From page 1 King George has yet to approve its own proposed changes to county ordinances and guidelines in the Comprehensive Plan having to do with oil and gas drilling. Those were put on hold to possibly include
language to make the ordinance more strict. Following the planning commission’s public hearing earlier in the year, the board of supervisors held a Sept. 1 public hearing on stricter proposed rules. Twenty-five people spoke, with two from the oil
and gas industry against any changes, and the rest in favor of the tighter rules or calling for an outright ban on fracking. The new board is expected to bring the topic back up for discussion and some sort of subsequent action in the 2016 calendar year.
Route 3: VDOT unveils initial study saying it would be “unfair to the residents” in the area to make a quick decision. A similar project is proposed in the latest study draft, estimated at $10.75 million. Of the other two priority projects in Westmoreland, one would add passing lanes between Route 214 and Montross estimated at $10 million,
Attorney: New legal structure
and the other would add passing lanes in western Westmoreland estimated at $12.75 million. The study is expected to be finalized after comments from the current round of public meetings are incorporated, with the study next added to a list for future construction planning. Two meetings were held this
month in Montross and Lancaster to report out the preliminary findings, with plansfor a 2016 meeting in King George on the study’s conclusions. The detailed draft is 31 pages along with 26 pages of figures and maps and several additional attachments. It can be downloaded from the transportation department’s website: w w w.virginiadot.org/projects/ fredericksburg/route_3_study_ king_george,_westmoreland,_ richmond_and_lancaster.asp>.
Triad is sponsored in King George by the office of King George Commonwealth’s Attorney Keri Gusmann and the officer of Sheriff Steve Dempsey as well as seniors from the community. Richards said it is fulfilling a needed role in helping seniors and their caregivers. “It’s rewarding when someone comes up to me and says, ‘I didn’t fall for a scam because of the information I got from Triad,’” Richards said. “That is our goal.”

Dec. 10 Colonial Beach Town Council actions to emergencies. The council passed an ordinance to restrict special rates for response vehicles for Fire and Rescue members, if the owner has outstanding taxes owed to the town. In order to take advantage of the special rate for response vehicles, the owner must have all fees, licenses and taxes owed to the town paid up to date. The council amended the Fiscal Year 2015-16 budget to appropriate $1.2 million dollars awarded in federal grants through the Department of Housing and Community Development. These funds are allocated for the revitalization projects currently under way in the downtown area.
Linda Farneth The Colonial Beach Town Council passed minor changes to Article 18, which covers Miscellaneous Regulations. The council amended the changes to allow residents to place a pod within their front yards. All other restriction still apply, including the setback limitations that include three feet from the side or rear property lines and a minimum setback of 10 feet from the front property line or right of way. Members of the fire department or rescue squad are eligible to receive full relief from paying personal property tax on any vehicle used to respond
From page 1 through the work the firm does before the General Assembly and with other counties and political subdivisions. I am very much looking forward to it. My primary focus, however, will remain King George County.” Gregory lives in the greater Richmond area, but there will continue to be no mileage reimbursement nor travel time charged. “I will continue to commute to King George County two days per week for board meetings, and for other meetings or matters, as necessary. I’ll always be available via telephone and e-mail, as I am now, so that will not change,” Gregory said. “The county will continue to be my primary focus and responsibility. We have a number of projects we’re working on that have been ongoing for some time, and that will continue, and I look forward to continuing to be engaged on them. I did not want to walk away from those and I am grateful that the board of supervisors chose to provide for that continuity.”

King George girls varsity basketball team outlasts Colonial Beach Leonard Banks Sports Editor From the opening tip-off to the final click of the clock, the King George girls’ varsity basketball team (3-1) never relinquished its lead versus Colonial Beach. Dominating the post and perimeter throughout the game, Fox power forward Megan Montague appeared to be unstoppable as she finished with 22 points. The combination of Montague crashing the boards and the Foxes’ relentless press defense stymied the visiting Drifters ability to rally. The game took place Dec. 10 at King George High School. The two teams will meet again, Thursday at Colonial Beach High School. In the first quarter, the Foxes capitalized on the absence of Drifter point guard Alexia Wilson, who
picked up two fouls within the first two and a half minutes. Montague gave the Foxes an 8-2 lead by hitting three jumpers. However, after scoring two baskets, including a buzzer beating three-pointer, Drifter guard Jordan McGinnis cut the Foxes lead to 11-7. Throughout the first half of the second quarter, King George maintained a four-point lead. Midway through the quarter Wilson re-entered the game and scored a three-pointer that cut the deficit to one point. In the final two minutes of the quarter, Montague led the Foxes on 6-0 run that included four points of her own from the field. The Foxes opened the second half with a vengeance. They extended lead to 10 points and maintained it throughout the quarter. King George closed out the quarter with a Montague to Dai’za Bullett fast-break
layup that punctuated the quarter for a Fox 34-24 lead. In the final quarter, the Foxes continued to dominate the boards and capitalize on steals via fast break opportunities. Drifter forward Amber Jones attempted to spark a late rally by scoring six points that included three foul shots and a threepointer, but her efforts proved futile as the Foxes won, 51-38. On Dec. 12, during the Lady Knights Classic, King George traveled to Thomas Dale High School, where they defeated Hanover, 46-24. Brianna Martin led the Foxes with 14 points, and nine rebounds. Montague, the game’s MVP, scored 10 points and recorded 10 rebounds. Halia Ellis added seven points and seven rebounds. Jonnae Usher and Alexis Sheehan made the All Classic Academic Team top eight GPA.
KG middle school boys’ basketball moving forward KG track alumnus honored Leonard Banks Sports editor King George Middle School boys’ basketball team is off to solid start. After narrowly defeating a tough Culpeper team, 45-42, on Thursday, Dec. 10, at King George Middle School, the Foxes are now 3-1, and clicking on all cylinders. Fox forward Tijaun Whiting sparked a 8-2 run in the first three minutes of play of the first quarter with six unanswered points. Cougar forward, DeJor McCray helped cut the Foxes’ lead to 8-7, as he added five points, including a
three-pointer. King George’s Adrian Penn extended the Foxes lead to 107, with a layup at the buzzer. In the second quarter, McCray and teammate Armani Hoffman, combined for 10 points in the first three minutes to rally the Cougars to 17-14 lead. Stymied by the Cougar press defense, the Foxes became vulnerable to turnovers and miscues on offense. The Cougars closed out the first half with a 21-18 lead. Led by Dekker Chuska, the Foxes reversed the tables on the Cougars with a 9-3 run that produced a 27-24 lead. With less than two minutes to play in the quarter, Samari Daniels,
Isaiah Washington, and Gary Lewis combined for seven points to close out the period with a Fox 34-26 lead. With two-and-a-half minutes to play in the fourth quarter, King George held a precarious six-point lead (40-34) over Culpeper. Feeding from a 6-2 run, courtesy of McCray, Carter, and Hoffman the Fox lead was cut to 42-40. With 19 seconds remaining in the game, the stage for a Cougar miracle comeback was set; however, after Washington and Penn combined for three foul shots, the Cougars fate was sealed, as the Foxes held the ground to win, 45-42. Thanks to the coaching auspices
of head coach, Jonathan Shank, the future of basketball in King George continues to show signs of hope. “Their skills have been emerging during every single game this season,” Shank said. “Players that are normally on the bench are coming in and contributing. The fundamental skills are already there; now it’s about getting them to where they can be the best basketball player they can be.” The Foxes will close the 2015 half of the basketball season with an away at Richmond Intermediate Middle School on Wednesday, Dec. 16, and another away game versus Caroline, on Thursday, Dec. 17.

W&L girls’ basketball competitive in loss Richard Leggitt Last year’s edition of the Washington and Lee Lady Eagles basketball team was rarely competitive. This year’s team has been more aggressive and more competitive in its first five games, but although improved, the Lady Eagles still have a way to go. Coach Liz Beckham’s team is 2-3 in its first five games after losing 3227 to Charles City, a team they beat two weeks ago, at home Thursday night. The Lady Eagles fell behind early in the second half, but despite a rally could not secure the win on their home court in Montross. “The story for W&L tonight, was was senior standout Armanni Henry,” said Beckham after the game. “She grabbed 12 rebounds, had three steals and a timely blocked shot, while contributing eight points points on offense.” Henry is a welcome new addition to the W&L girls team this year. After starring for W&L as a sophomore, she sat out last year but then asked Bahkham if she could return to play her senior year. She has been a major part of the team’s improvement this year. In addition to defeating Charles City High School at the beginning of the season, the W&L girls also defeated King and Queen High School. W&L’s losses, in addition to Charles City Thursday, have been
to King William and Mathews. This week they were scheduled to play at King George, face Middlesex at home and then play at King William. In Thursday’s loss, W&L had a fourth quarter rally led by sophomore Diamond Covingtion. Covington had five points for the night, with four points in the final quarter, including two critical free throws. However, the Lady Eagles were unable to hold off a tough offensive attack from Charles City after beating them the week before on their home court. Despite the loss, Beckham noted the team’s improved play this year. “The Lady Eagles are playing with confidence this year, led by standout sophomore Covington at point guard and with strong post play coming from senior Jahania Remington. Complimenting these two players are a group of shooting guards that have developed the ability to drive or take the open three point shot,” Beckham said. “We must continue to improve our free throw percentage as the year unfolds, if we want to be successful in the district. However, I am confident the we are up to the challenge.” “Coach Beckham gets a lot out of these girls,” said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis. “We are hopeful that some of their young athleticism will turn into improved results this year.”

Caledon Hosts Annual Youth Hunt Mark Fike In the wee hours of the morning on Dec. 12, seven youth from the region gathered at the pavilion at Caledon State Park in anticipation of their chance at a whitetail deer during a special hunt. Coffee, hot chocolate, and breakfast pastries spread out on a table welcomed the excited faces. Rick Wilks, hunter education instructor for the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, was the hunt master. At a few minutes after 5 a.m., Wilks began his safety brief with a checklist of do’s and don’ts for both the youth hunters and their parents. All of the youth were selected from local hunter safety courses that they had successfully passed. The young people were attentive as Wilks quizzed them on a few different scenarios regarding hunting and as he went over the rules. Next, the park ranger gave a run down on the park rules for the day while hunting at Caledon to include bag limits, safety and a few reminders about what no to do. Wilks went over the stands and what constituted a safe shot and what did not. A quick inventory of what each youth was using to hunt, whether it was a slug gun or buckshot, was taken. Keeping this in mind, Wilks strategically assigned
the pavilion area. At noon, the park staff and assistants headed back into the fields and woods to retrieve their youth charges and bring them back to the pavilion for a hearty lunch of beef and venison BBQ, homemade mac and cheese and an awesome baked bean dish prepared and provided by Barbara Wilks and Linda Braccini. A whole picnic table was adorned with deserts. Also at lunch the Parker Challenger was given to lucky winner Austin Gray whose number was randomly drawn out of a bucket. The smile on his face could not be missed. He was overheard saying, “I just kept thinking about it in the woods, how much I wanted that crossbow and I kept thinking positively just like my dad told me to.” Turns out that crossbow was reportedly the top item on his Christmas list. I guess Christmas came early to Austin. The day warmed considerably and deer movement was nearly non-existent in the woods where the youth were waiting. However, four of the youth opted to stick with the game plan on head back out for the afternoon hunt. The youth are to be commended for the great firearms handling they demonstrated throughout the day and the good manners they exhibited as well. The Caledon State Park and staff
stands to maximize the youth’s opportunity. As he assigned stands to the youth and their parent, he also gave tidbits of info about each stand and what the hunters could expect to see and possibly which way to face. Wilks also pointed to a Parker Challenger crossbow that was donated by the Virginia Deer Hunters Association as a prize to a lucky youth at lunch. The Friends of the NRA donated blaze orange hats to the youth hunters as well. The hunt assistants, which included Steve Purks, Darrell Nelson and Julie Abel, were briefed on their duties in accompanying the hunters to their stand location and reviewing what a safe shot was. Hunters were assigned caravans to take them to the stands before everyone broke for a bit of preparation and discussion while waiting for the time to load up and head out. The ride down through the woods in the dark was a bit bumpy, but assistants could easily see the excitement on the faces of the young hunters each time a flashlight came on. Youth and parents were dropped off at their preselected stand location, accompanied by a park staff member and a hunt assistant to their location and were told where the safe zones of fire were before the staff and assistants withdrew to
members Joey Shelton, chief ranger, Jim Tolson, Dan Ranson and Bill Thomas were invaluable to the hunt being conducted safely and successfully. The Virginia Deer Hunters Association, Friends of NRA and the parents and mentors were also a huge

You check and maintain your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar. To maintain structural health it is important to get a credible baseline this is best done with an x-ray but you can take this five minute test in front of the mirror to get a basic idea of body balance. Close your eyes (if you have balance problems you may need to steady yourself against a wall with your hand) march in place, stop than roll you head and neck around. Now open you eyes and don’t move. Is one eye or ear higher or lower, does one cheek look wider, is one hip higher than the other, can you see the front of one hand and the other looks like a knife edge, is one shoulder higher than another, if so it a good idea to get an exam.

Outdoors Report Mark Fike Deer hunting picked up for some in the area a week or so ago but then turned back off, possibly due to the warmer than normal weather. Potomac River — Reports from Ken’s Tackle show the striper are biting in the lower river on eels and bucktails. Nice fish are being caught from Colonial Beach all the way to the bay. Some bass still are being caught in the creeks above Fairview all the way to D.C. but the fishing is considerably slower. Crawl crayfish types of plastics along structure to include remnant weed lines. Cat-
fish are biting all over the river. Gizzard shad is the go to bait. The power plant is a good spot to try. Rappahannock River — The river reportedly gave up a lot of catfish the past few weeks. Crappie are hitting on brushpiles but in deeper water. Look for yellow perch near Little Falls on minnows. Smallmouth bass were hitting upriver in the pools over the weekend due to the string of warmer days. Ponds — Ken’s reports bass and crappie angling is really good in ponds now using minnows and small jigs. Lake Anna anglers reported some
nice striper uplake. During the day, the jerkbait bite was reportedly good. Boat traffic has been at a minimum too. Saltwater Capt. Ryan Rogers of The Midnight Sun is continuing to find some really nice rockfish all over the bay. He is both trolling and doing some light tackle fishing. The fish are fat and the slabs are thick. Down the bay, there are reports of some togs and some schoolie striper action. Rumors are the larger fish are just north of us headed our way. We will see if they make the turn and come visit or at least hang out near the beach.

Things to consider when hosting for the holidays alternative dishes for people who must avoid certain foods. Activities If guests will be staying for several nights, explore a few local activities so everyone can get out of the house for a night or two. Time spent with family is one of the best parts of the holiday season, but spending all of that time inside in cramped quarters can grow uncomfortable over time. Plan a family night or two out that everyone can enjoy.
sleeping arrangements before guests arrive if kids will be asked to sleep in different beds. Kids might embrace the change, while others might be less enthusiastic. If younger cousins will be staying over, let kids choose their new roommates, which might make them more excited about sharing rooms with their guests. Explaining the situation in advance gives youngsters time to ready themselves for their temporary move.
Holiday hosts have a lot on their plates. The work of holiday hosting does not begin when the first guest arrives. It starts weeks before, when homeowners begin preparing their homes for overnight guests. Because the holiday season can be so busy, it’s easy for hosts to overlook certain things as the day their first guests are set to arrive draws nearer. But the following are a few things hosts should consider in the weeks before their guests show up.
Diets Ask guests before they arrive if they have any particular food allergies or items they need to avoid because of any medications they might be taking. This is especially important for youngsters, who may forget to avoid homemade cookies with nuts despite having nut allergies. By asking in advance if your guests have any food allergies or foods and ingredients they must avoid, you will know to avoid serving particular dishes so no one accidentally eats foods that might make them sick and you can prepare
Accommodations It’s hard to overlook accommodations when hosting for the holidays, but it’s best to inspect linens and other items that might go largely unused throughout much of the year. Check foldout couches or air mattresses a few weeks before your guests are slated to arrive. This gives you ample time to address any issues and also allows you to comparison shop and find great deals on any items you need to replace. Hosts who are parents to young children may want to discuss
Pets When hosting for the holidays, let your guests know if you have any pets. Some people have dog and cat allergies, and those allergies may make it difficult for them to enjoy their stay. Others’ allergies might be so severe that they have to find alternative lodging. Let guests know about your pets when you invite them to stay at your house so no one is surprised at the last minute. In addition, let guests know if they can bring their own pets along to your house. Hosting for the holidays is a great way to welcome loved ones into your home. Considering and discussing a few factors before your guests arrive can ensure everyone enjoys their stay.

A New York family transplanted to Virginia owns this Federal Period corner cupboard, which has descended through several generations. They think the finish is original, but the facing boards have wide splits around the doors, thereby jeopardizing the glass panes. The shelves are semi-butterfly, and the cupboard is in two sections, upper and lower. This cupboard dates from the 1820s or 1830s. Its design is typical of the Federal Period with its restrained elegance. The lower door panels are correct, and the multi-paned upper doors are in keeping Henry Lane with the overall Hull style. The term “semi-butterfly shelves” refers to the indentation on the front of each shelf. Instead of being cut straight across, each is scalloped in a curved motif. As the design is not fully sculpted as in butterfly shelves, we term these semi-butterfly. The splits and buckling in the wood facing pieces present a serious problem, which requires a master craftsman to restore. The pieces need to be removed carefully, steamed and pressed to be flat again, and then reattached, all to be done without damaging the original finish on their surfaces. The repair will be both difficult and costly, but without undertaking it, the situation only will become worse. In its current condition the corner cupboard is a principal factor in determining its value. As is it is difficult to market, and would sell for less than $400. Properly restored its worth would double. As a rule corner cupboards are
not bringing the amounts they did a few years ago. I have seen pieces similar to this one sell for over $1000., but today the market remains down, and has not recovered from the Recession. In this case, the condition is the major concern in attempting to judge what the present value is, but in conclusion, I reiterate that this piece is well
worth restoration. Henry Lane Hull and his wife Lisa operate Commonwealth Antiques and Appraisals, Inc. at 5150 Jessie duPont Hwy. in Wicomico Church, VA. Write to him at P. O. Box 35, Wicomico Church, VA 22579 or email questions to henrylanehull@ commonwealthantiques.com. Happy Antiquing!
