NN African-American Trail Courthouse meeting on school sites map ceiling collapse Trail seeks to preserve history, promote tourism spurs HVAC fix Supervisors hastily meet, OK contract for necessary work
Phyllis Cook
A meeting to discuss and gather information to continue to map locations for an online Northern Neck African-American Education Trail is set for 10 to 11:30 a.m. Sept. 13 in Montross at the auditorium of A.T. Johnson High School Museum, 18849 Kings Highway. That’s one of the first high schools in the Northern Neck to educate students of African descent from 1937 to 1969. It has a museum preserving the history and legacy of African-American education featuring historical artifacts and memorabilia, as well as meeting spaces for events. The upcoming meeting will be the second in the Northern Neck called by Lisa Hull, economic development and tourism coordinator for the Northern Neck Planning District Commission. The first was on Aug. 18 in King George, with eight attendees, some coming from Maryland, and from Caroline County, in addition to King George. Schools in the American South remained largely See Trail, page 2

The King George Board of Supervisors held an emergency meeting at midday on Aug. 30 to approve a $149,740 contract for purchase and installation of heating-ventilationand air conditioning equipment at the King George County Courthouse. The meeting was set following an Aug. 26 email to supervisors and the county administrator, Travis Quesenberry, from Vic Mason, Clerk of the Circuit Court, saying the matter couldn’t wait for action at the next regular meeting on Sept. 6.

County mulls water, sewer rules
Angelwood moves toward grant
King George Service Authority staff has begun a new review of its water and sewer regulations, with formal revision expected later this year, after an advertised public hearing will be scheduled at a future meeting. In the meantime, board members held a work session meeting on Aug. 22 and talked about what Chris Thomas called “big picture” items in the regulations. Thomas is an engineer who is the Authority’s general manager. There was a discussion on an existing requirement added last year for all new customers to provide a deposit of $250. “That’s around the amount of a regular bill for customers with water and sewer service,” Thomas said. “It is stip-
Project Faith’s grant application for $695,000 for infrastructure costs for its proposed Angelwood Marshall Homes project in King George took a big step forward with an announcement from the state on Sept. 2. Project Faith, Inc. is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit charity specializing in rental apartments for people with disabilities and seniors with low incomes. The announcement from Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s office said $9.5 million in Community Development Block Grant funding was earmarked for 13 projects from

ulated in state code the deposit needs to represent 90 days of utility use.” Authority board member Chris Werle suggested it be split for wateronly or sewer-only customers, providing deposits of $125 each, and $250 for water and sewer customers. Other board members agreed. Thomas told them maybe they could lower it for some, saying Fredericksburg waives deposits for new customers depending on the result of a credit check. Credit checks can only be performed if new customers volunteer their Social Security numbers. Board members agreed for staff to examine the issue. The next topic was pricing for the 67 customers who are unmetered and currently are charged bills for the minimum amount of usage. Those without water meters are
long-time customers whose service was originally supplied by a water service from a third party, bought up by the Service Authority after it was formed in the early 1990s. Board members agreed for staff to suggest strategies to address the issue, including increasing the set amount those customers pay because they can use an unlimited amount of water for which they are not fully charged. “Some water line connections are under pavement,” Thomas said. Werle suggested the Service Authority try to follow the water line from where it branches from the main line, and install a water meter as close to the property line as possible. Thomas said some customers have agreements recorded with the previSee Rules, page 2

Our scholars work very hard and will benefit from this and we will put it to good use,” Monroe said.

Trail: Meeting on map of sites
a lot more need to be added,” Hull said. “This is an unpublished map that will be published as soon as we get confirmation about the location, dates of operation and other facts. The idea is to add the information for each, so when people click on it they would get links to websites and more information for each site.” Hull had distributed paper copies of the draft map with an alphabetical list of what she had so far, including Avalon School, Hygeia School, Howland Chapel, Kremlin School, Ralph Bunche High School, Holley Graded, Julius Rosenwald High school, Little Ark School and Frog Hall approximate. The group who met in King George came up with some more and Hull has since added some. She also made a decision to publish the unfinished map on the Northern Neck website to more easily gather information from anyone with knowledge of locations and/or names of educational sites of any type for African-Americans prior to actual desegregation. The direct link to this map site is: http://www.northernneck.org/ african-american-education-in-thenorthern-neck/. The map’s existence on the site will

Grant: Housing plan progresses From page 1
Virginia localities, including one from King George. King George County sponsored and submitted an application put together by Froncé Wardlaw, Project Faith’s executive director, in the end of March following two public hearings and approval of the Board of Supervisors. The Project Faith application was one of two projects slated to receive a letter of intent. The state press release explained. “The letter of intent projects are worthy of funding, but are missing key components necessary for the project to be immediately implemented, and the grant recommends the locality address the missing components accordingly,” the release stated. The late afternoon announcement on Friday’s start of the long
Labor Day weekend resulted in futile attempts for a reporter to reach county officials, but did elicit an enthusiastic response from Wardlaw. “God gets the glory and King George County gets the growth by serving all of its citizens with affordable first-time homeownership,” Wardlaw said. She also addressed the letter of intent status. “Something is missing from the application or there needs to be additional clarification. Without seeing the letter or speaking directly to DHCD, I cannot access what additional information is needed,” Wardlaw said. If the project proceeds, the grant would pay for the extension of roads and utility lines and other site work on 26 acres located behind the existing Angelwood complex on the north side of Route 3 (Kings Highway) through Tinsbloom Mill Lane. With additional financing to be determined publicly, Project

Faith would construct 35 singlefamily homes to add to the current 31 buildings containing 93 rental apartments. The houses would be 1,400 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms on one-third acre lots for eligible applicants to purchase affordable single-family homes selling for about $200,000 or less to low-to-moderate income families. King George has previously been involved in two successful block grant applications for Project Faith in 2005 and 2012. It was also involved in one unsuccessful and very controversial grant application with a free land deal that went sour and ended up in court with a suit and countersuit. The county-donated land was subsequently returned by Project Faith and the organization’s suit to obtain $300,000 in damages likewise was voluntarily withdrawn earlier this year in the beginning of April.

ous water service filed on the deed addressing the matter. Chairwoman Ruby Brabo suggested ideas for requiring a new meter at the property line in those instances. “Let’s find out if we can legally require a meter when the property changes hands,” Brabo said. “I think we’ve been more than fair.”

segregated prior to several landmark court cases finally forcing desegregation late in the 1960s. A number of schools for AfricanAmericans prior to desegregation were aimed at primary education for younger children, with some training sites to teach work skills for older children. There were a few private schools for African-Americans with high educational standards, some famously established by Julius Rosenwald, a businessman and philanthropist from Illinois. At last month’s meeting, Hull displayed a first draft of an interactive web-based map showing some African-American schools and training sites. Several locations were approximated because the buildings no longer exist. Hull explained. “This is a jumping-off point. It’s only the beginning. What I’ve started to do is to approximate the locations of African-American schools, and some sites need to be verified and
not be promoted until after it gets into a more finished state. In an email to interested parties after the meeting in King George, Hull explained her reasoning in making the map quietly available online in its unfinished state. “Seeing it once on a screen at a meeting without the ability to return to the places, descriptions and photos, makes it difficult for you to provide input. This way, you can look at the trail at your leisure - and maybe share with others who were not able to attend the meetings, but who may — have information,” Hull said. Following the upcoming Montross meeting, future meetings will also be set for Lancaster, Northumberland and Richmond counties. Those with knowledge of a former training or school site for AfricanAmerican children are urged to contact Hull to assist in this effort. For more information, or to provide information to Lisa Hull about sites, send questions or any information/corrections to her email: lhull@ nnpdc17.state.va.us. She can also be reached at the Northern Neck Tourism Commission, 804-333-1919, located at 457 Main Street, Warsaw.

Mason’s message detailed ceiling collapses in two of the judge’s chambers and in a judge’s bathroom. He included a photo of the bathroom, saying it had gotten worse since it was snapped. “There are approximately eight trash cans in the three mentioned rooms that are catching most of the water that continues to drip as a result of the failing air conditioning/dehumidification units,” Mason wrote. “The Judges and staff have shown remarkable patience in dealing with this matter but it needs to be addressed immediately.” Quesenberry and Supervisors agreed with four attending the shortnotice meeting including Chairwoman Ruby Brabo and Supervisors Cedell Brooks, Jr., Jim Howard and Richard Granger. Funding to pay for the project was previously earmarked in the county’s capital fund.

There was also discussion of increasing the existing fee of $100 per occurrence for tampering with a water meter. Brabo agreed they should look into how high they can go. She also asked if legal charges could also be considered, with Thomas saying tampering could be charged as a misdemeanor if the board agreed. Thomas talked about new ultrasonic meters the county recently began installing for new customers and to replace some old meters. The ultrasonic meters are expected to eliminate meter tampering by cus-
tomers who get them, because they will be caught and fined. Thomas said the new meters register and send a message anytime the meter is touched. Brabo got agreement on her suggestion about any customers suspected of tampering should be a priority to get new meters. Werle brought up a complaint he’d received that new rates for usage should not be charged for ‘the next billing,’ but instead be charged for use after the rate increase is enacted. Other board members agreed the
practice be amended. The conversation turned to potential new connections to come from residents and businesses having access to the new water line slated to be constructed on Mount Rose Drive. Customers with their own water wells are not expected to be required to connect. County Administrator Travis Quesenberry noted the authority could offer reduced connection fees for those who do decide to connect during construction, which was met with consensus.
Boucher started the Summer Lunch Bunch program in the summer of 2009. She and about 90 to 100 volunteers help out each summer to provide free bagged lunches and books for children who show up at
delivery points three days a week. “For many years, they have taken the time for an incredible volunteer effort to assemble lunches and deliver them throughout our county and to provide for those who other-
wise would go without,” Benson said. “We’ve had a tremendous effort this summer, the Lunch Bunch in coordination and alongside our Summer Feed program. We are very blessed in King George to have people who will step up and provide for members of our community in need, particularly when it comes to nourishment. We thank you and we wanted to recognize you publicly for that effort.” Boucher in turn thanked the school division for its assistance and all the volunteers who make the countywide program possible. Howard, also a volunteer, said at a meeting on Aug. 12 that the bagged lunch count this past summer added up to 3,810 lunches. Following the meeting, Ben Ashton said the recognition helps because it spreads the word about the program, helping to get more needed volunteers for next summer. He also talked about their real reward. “We do because of the looks on the faces of the children when they get a lunch and a book,” Ashton said.

4 hands and 4 feet equals beautiful music at upcoming pipe organ recital A concert by the husband and wife pipe organ duo (and Virginia natives), Elizabeth and Raymond Chenault, will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church (5486 St. Paul’s Road, King George, VA 22485) on Sunday, October 2, 2016 at 4:00pm. Specializing in and exclusively performing works written for four hands and four feet at one pipe organ console, Elizabeth and Raymond Chenault (“The World’s Premiere Duo-Organ Team”, Atlanta Journal & Constitution) have made a monumental contribution to the organ repertoire through their commissioning, premiering, and recording of nearly sixty organ duets. Mr. and Mrs. Chenault, natives of Richmond, received their Bachelor of Music degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University. After spending several years in Washington D.C., they moved to Atlanta, where they have been organists-choirmasters at All Saints Episcopal Church
for 41 years. Additional information about their career can be found at www.chenaultduo.com The Chenault Duo’s organ recital on October 2 will include Variations on an Easter Theme by John Rutter, Two to Tango by American composer Melinda Clark, Ragtime by American composer Charles Callahan, and the Chenaults’ own arrangement of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera. The program will be 90 minutes in length. The music will be performed on the church’s 2,000-pipe Patrick Murphy pipe organ and the duo will be in full view of the audience.

OPINION
Wednesday, Sept. 7, 2016 The Journal

Governor isn’t forgetting people many would rather ignore There is one thing about Gov. Terry McAuliffe that both parties can probably agree on. He doesn’t give up easily. He has two signature passions. Well, David S. Kerr actually when it comes to legislation and initiatives, he has several, but there are two that seem to generate an undying resolve. One is a desire to see Virginia fully participate in the Affordable Care Act. And the second has been to restore the civil rights of felons. Sadly, so far at least, neither initiative has succeeded. But, even with only one year to go in his administration, he’s not giving up. Most Virginia governors when
they arrive at the executive mansion are ready to fight for whatever platform they were elected on. Some succeed, some don’t. Usually, if their signature cause doesn’t make it, they move onto other things, looking elsewhere for a legacy. McAuliffe’s legacy may be secured already. He has been the Energizer Bunny when it comes to recruiting and cajoling new businesses to come to Virginia. He has long since said that Virginia’s economic development has been way too dependent on the federal government and he has sought to diversify our economic base. But, he still hasn’t forgotten about the people that get left behind by the system. There are some 400,000 Virginians who don’t have any access to health care. They’re not covered by Medicaid and they can’t afford Obamacare. This was why the fed-
eral government provided a reimbursable plan to expand Medicaid. It was up to the states to accept it. McAuliffe wanted Virginia to participate. He even proposed a private sector-based alternative that would use the Medicaid money to fund private health care plans offered under the Affordable Care Act. He thought that might appeal to the Republicans in the House of Delegates. However, the General Assembly would hear none of it. It was Obamacare and that’s all the reason they needed to vote against it. The economic arguments behind accepting the additional federal money for expanding Medicaid are powerful. Workers would stay healthier longer and avoid the highly expensive treatments, and usually the associated disability payment, that result from untreated conditions; like heart disease, high blood
pressure and diabetes to name a few. But, that didn’t matter. The arguments were wasted. The General Assembly just keeps saying no. However, mostly because he just doesn’t like the idea of so many hardworking Virginians being left out in the cold he’s going to push for it one more time. He’ll probably meet with the same amount of luck as before, but, on top of being persistent, he’s also an optimist. His passion to help felons, former criminals, is relatively new. But, in spite of legal challenges brought by the General Assembly he’s fought back. First he exercised his clemency prerogative to restore civil rights (the right to vote, serve on juries and run for office) to every felon who’s served their sentence and rejoined society. It was a little awkward at first. It was a big list. And some 12,000 took advantage of the clemency and regis-
tivism”. Just how did Mr. Lee build a new culture? “… we would not have made economic progress, if we had not intervened on very personal matters - who your neighbor is, how you live, the noise you make, how you spit, or what language you use. We decide. Never mind what the people think what is right.” In Singapore you could be imprisoned for not speaking English or for selling bubblegum. Along with preventative detention, caning was popular. Melding
diverse cultures is tough. Do not confuse diversity with multiculturalism. Mr. Lee didn’t. We have no future with multiculturalism. We don’t want the police state and loss of freedom this will bring, if we last that long. This is not something to leave to your children. The motto found on our coins is E Pluribus Unum, meaning out of many, one. This is not a microaggression. It is the coin of the realm, or there is no realm.
Letter to the editor One who murders is thought of as insane or a heinous being by American culture, but not so much in other cultures. We use terms like, sociopath, psychopath, criminally insane. Other cultures have honor killings, widow burning, bride dowry killings, and religious exterminations as part of their fabric. This highlights the danger with multiculturalism for a country. No rule of law could exist with these ingredients of multiculturalism. As a matter of fact, no country can exist with multiculturalism. Just
check with Lee Kuan Yew the benevolent dictator who built modern Singapore out of a collection of Chinese, Indians, and Malays. "The easiest way to get majority vote is vote for me, we're Chinese, they're Indians, they're Malays. Our society will be ripped apart. If you do not have a cohesive society, you cannot make progress. “Thereafter, we knew that if we embarked on any of these romantic ideas, to revive a mythical past of greatness and culture, we'd be damned. So, there's no return to na-
tered to vote. The GOP was convinced this was a Democratic Party ploy to pad the voting numbers with favorable voters. That’s a quirky logic to begin with, but the General Assembly went to court and said offering clemency to so many people exceeded the governor’s constitutional authority. The court agreed. Virginia is one of the few states in the union that permanently take away a person’s voting rights after they have been convicted of a felony. Funny, some misdemeanors are worse than some felonies, but that’s the rule. So, a person can serve their sentence, return to a useful and productive life, and still not be allowed to cast a ballot. As far as McAuliffe is concerned these people have paid their debt to society and withholding their right to vote is unduly punitive. Now,
stymied by the court, he is going, one-by-one, through every name on that list of 206,000 and issuing, as appropriate (no violent criminal or sex offenders), the clemency orders necessary to restore the person’s civil rights. That seems fair enough, but the GOP majority in the House is once again challenging the governor’s action. It’s possible that this time the court may agree with McAuliffe. McAuliffe may go down as the economic development governor. But, even if he doesn’t succeed with his special initiatives on Medicaid and restoring voting rights to felons, there are nonetheless a lot of average people who whether they knew it or not, had a governor who was in their corner. He has taken up issues on their behalf that few state executives would ever have pursued with such resolve.

Police news Court denies bond to Fairview Beach man charged with sexual battery King George Circuit Court Judge Herbert Hewitt last week denied bond to a 29-year-old man charged with eight counts of sexual battery and one count of aggravated sexual battery. Jordan Christopher Rudat of Fairview Beach has been in the Rappahannock Regional Jail since his arrest on Aug. 14, and he will apparently remain in jail until his preliminary hearing on the charges on Oct. 17. Rudat, a former substitute teacher in Stafford County, is alleged to have acted inappropriately toward a 17-year-old King George girl while both he and the young woman were employees of the Domino’s Pizza shop on Kings Highway. According to testimony in court, Rudat grabbed and touched the teenager and on one occasion threatened her with a knife while he worked with her at the pizza shop during early August. Rudat is no longer employed by Domino’s. Rudat has no prior criminal record, is a graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University and has a master's degree from Liberty University, according to his father, Howard Rudat of Stafford, who testified in in court an effort to help obtain bond for his son. However, prosecutors told the court there is video of Rudat acting inappropriately toward the female co-worker. Hewitt said he was concerned about the seriousness of the charges and uncomfortable about releasing Rudat into the community where his victim also resides.

Outdoor Report Mark and Missy Fike Fishing was tough in the salt this week due to the nearmiss storm which caused flood tides and left messy conditions as well as horrible winds over the weekend. However, freshwater fishing was not too bad. Rappahannock River Ken’s Tackle in Spotsylvania reported that anglers had a bit of a tough week. Some anglers did manage some catfish but even that was slow. Most were eating size and a few larger fish were caught. Potomac River Ken’s reported very little fishing success on the river this past week. Aqua Land Marina reported slower conditions this past week. Perch anglers were catching some decent fish down to Swan Point on Fishbites and squid. There are plenty of shorty rockfish in the river up to 18 inches, but none of legal size that were reported. Some croaker are still being reported but in fewer number. Those that are catching them are hooking squid on their lines to entice these scrappy 12 to 14 inch fish. Even the snakehead bite was slow. Inland Motts Run reported much better angling this week than last week. Anglers took 1 to 2 pound bass on an assortment of artificial baits and nightcrawlers. Catfish anglers were catching plenty of fish on chicken liver and nightcrawlers. One angler was having a heyday off the pier catching nice white perch on nightcrawlers. Hunting Run gave up some nice bream this past week and a few nice catfish. All were caught on red wigglers
and minnows. Lake Anna has been hit or miss with striped bass hitting jerkbaits early or late. Saltwater The winds, tides and slop in the water made conditions on the bay and ocean unfishable. Before the blow, some nice Spanish were being caught near Point Lookout down to Windmill Bar. A few cobia were haunting structure. Sheepshead were taking fiddlers near the CBBT and some really nice bluefish were also caught in the middle to upper bay area. Crabbing before the blow was decent. Hunting: Reports from dove hunters was sporadic action. Much of the reason was due to fields not being ready to cut yet. Give it two or three weeks and the hunting should improve with late cuttings.

Drifters roll to opening 37-17 win over R. Henry Richard Leggitt
Behind the strong running of senior back Lamar Lucas, the Colonial Beach Drifters opened the season with a 37-17 home victory over Randolph Henry Friday night. "I was pleased with our effort," said Drifters Coach Jeremy Jack. "First games of the season are always difficult because it's hard to replicate and account for first-game jitters in practice," Jack said. "In spite of being the undersized team physically, our young men played well, overcoming a slow start and penalties." Lucas rushed around the ends and up the middle repeatedly for 118 yards and three touchdowns. Cole Setliff had five carries for 32 yards and a touchdown and AnaJai Lewis had 38 yards for Jack's swift single wing attack. Randolph Henry scored first and then Colonial Beach answered. Both missed the points after, so the first quarter ended 6 to 6. As
the game progressed, however, the Drifters senior experience and steady ground game allowed Colonial Beach to pull away. The Drifters scored twice in the second quarter on runs from Lucas and quarterback Alonzo Turner and then Lucas scored twice in the second half on running plays of 18 and 41 yards to put away the game. "This coming Friday will be a Region 1A East matchup and a difficult one to say the least against Franklin," said Coach Jack. "It is a hostile stadium in which to play but at the same time very exciting. It will be a test of intestinal fortitude because our two teams rely so heavily on the run." Following the away game at Franklin this week, the Drifters are again away at Sussex Central on Sept 16 and then come home on Sept. 23 against Chincoteague. Conference 43 play will begin on Oct. 7 as Colonial Beach plays Rappahannock at Warsaw.

Powerful offense, shutdown defense King George Foxes are undefeated Richard Leggitt The King George Foxes are 2-0 after using a powerful offense and a shutdown defense to defeat always tough Essex 20 to 0 last week at the
Trojan's home field in Tappahannock. "It was very hard fought, but our kids never gave up," said King George Coach Jeff Smith. "Essex was so big on defense, it was hard to move them," Smith said. "But our kids stayed with the game plan and we found a way to win." The victory over Essex follows a Foxes 72-0 opening win over Washing-

ton & Lee and puts King George in a solid position for a successful season. The Foxes play at home against Liberty Friday at 7 p.m. and then travel to Louisa on Sept. 16. "Each week our schedule gets tougher and we will need to get better," Smith said. King George wingback Jordan Aley scored two touchdowns and rushed for 129 yards in the win over Essex. And, Cameron Zylonis powered for 51 yards as the Foxes rolled up 227 yards on the ground with their speedy offense. But it was the second week in a row the Foxes defense, under returning defensive coordinator Robbie Henderson, was a key to the victory and held an opponent scoreless. Defensive back Ashton Howard returned an interception 85 yards for a touchdown to close out the King George win. "Our kids have bought into what we are doing on defense," said Smith. "Coach Henderson has made a big difference this year. We are putting up points, but we are also stopping teams." Keys on the defense are defensive end Jamal Clark, nose guard Hunter Dobson, linebacker Remington Green and defensive backs Devin Williams, Jordan Aley and Ashton Howard. "It was a good win for both the offense and the defense," said Smith. "It went four quarters, but we found a way to win." That is something fans of the Foxes are hoping will continue as the season progresses. Correction: In the photo on page 7 of last week’s Journal, the King George volleyball player in the photo was identified incorrectly. Shown is Katie Benz who had 13 assists in the win over Stafford High School. The Journal regrets the error.

Fire & Rescue Chief Moody praised for attaining international certification

What’s hanging at Town Hall
Talented artist Eric Nelson of Coldwell Banker Elite, who is a member of the Colonial Beach Planning Commission, proudly poses with his paintings that are on display at town hall as part of the Colonial Beach Artists Members Show. Phyllis Cook King George Fire & Rescue Chief David Moody was praised by the Board of Supervisors for his award of the professional designation of “Chief Fire Officer,” held by only 1,132 people worldwide and 67 people in Virginia, including both active and retired personnel. The achievement for public safety excellence was conferred by the Commission on Professional Credentialing following Moody’s successfully meeting their stringent criteria encompassing all aspects of his position in the job and in the community. Supervisors Chairwoman Ruby Brabo congratulated Moody at the board meeting on Aug. 16.
Moody responded briefly. “I thank you very humbly,” Moody said. Following the meeting, Moody said a little more about the designation and talked about the process. Once all the requirements are met, the application process takes about a year, including use of a peer review model to evaluate candidates. “This CFO designation is a very thorough and stringent process. It seeks a combination of formal education, experience, and personal development,” Moody said. “I am proud to have received this national recognition, but more importantly I am very humble to have represented our King George Fire & Rescue team.” Moody is also a graduate of the National Fire Academy's Executive Fire Officer program.
