Those “damn kids” . . . are significant Linda Farneth Those “damn kids” are words that will follow Councilman Chiarello for years to come. Public comments and citizen support for the town’s school system took center stage at the CB Town Council meeting held on Thursday, June 12. Many of the speakers supporting the school system were very passionate, and at times, some speakers seemed shaken with anger, frustration or nervousness. The crowd was generally behaved in the beginning, but there was the occasional outburst from a single citizen responding to individual Council comments. However, toward the end of the public comments portion, some of the crowd showed their upset with council member comments by clapping continuously to drown out Council’s remarks. If citizens remember nothing else from this meeting, they will remember words uttered by Councilman Jim Chiarello in his exchange with School Board Chairman Tim Trivett - the “damn kids”. Nothing much after that is audible due to the crowd’s reaction.

After public comments were heard during the meeting, Mayor Mike Ham realized he had skipped over presentations, so Ham asked Trivett if he had any comments. Ham invited Trivett to speak. Trivett began by saying he had not planned to attend but said things that were said when the School Board did not show up were often incorrect or were used against the Board. At the podium, Trivett was received with audience applause. Trivett’s statement started with an exchange with Councilwoman Linda Brubaker, whom he accused of finding pleasure in her announcement of the School’s Superintendent, Kathleen Beane, having resigned. Brubaker had commented at the opening of the meeting, “It is with a heavy heart I announce that our superintendent has resigned. She will be with us ‘til the end of June. I wish her Godspeed.” This exchange led such disruption, the Mayor called a recess. After the recess, the exchange continued between the two. Trivett then spoke briefly with Councilwoman Wanda Goforth, who confronted him about a resolution with incorrect information regarding land descriptions. Then, Chiarello addressed Trivett- when Chiarello referred

Colonial Beach Town Hall closes to remove mold Linda Farneth Town Clerk Kathy Flanagan sent out an instant alert on Monday, June 16, announcing that Town Hall will close early this week to began mold remediation over the weekend. “Town Hall offices will be closed at 2:30 pm on Thursday, June 19, for emergency repairs” was all that the message said. However, a resolution describing the work needed and authorizing Town Manager Val Foulds to spend up to $130,000 states, “Time is of the essence in addressing this issue because the health of those who work at Town Hall is paramount.” Council’s hands were tied at the June 12 regular meeting when they passed the resolution authorizing the spending. The town’s budget is already experiencing a shortfall of almost $1 million, split between the town and school budgets. The council had no choice but to allow the repairs to continue after learning from Foulds that the Fire Marshal would shut down

the building if the work was not completed by June 28. At the June 9 council work session, Town Manger Val Foulds revealed that air quality tests confirmed three types of mold present inside Town Hall, one of which is commonly referred to as “black mold”. Foulds also discussed safety concerns and other repair issues during the work session. Foulds informed Council that based on an inspection by an environmental specialist, the Town received a report on Friday afternoon, June 6, stating that the air quality was positive for three types of mold, including black mold. Foulds also said that she received the lab reports on air quality with an estimate of $48,010 for mitigation and remediation of an 800-sq. ft. area. The estimate did not include restoration, and the company also stressed it did not cover additional mold that may be found after the building is opened up. See mold, page 4

W&L’s new football coach is Northern Neck legend Richard Leggitt Hopes for the 2014-2015 edition of the Washington & Lee Eagles varsity football team just got a lot brighter with the announcement this week that the school has hired legendary Northern Neck District Coach Todd Jones to head its football program. Jones built the Essex Trojans into a powerhouse during his 14 years of coaching there. Jones has a record of 70 wins and 17 losses at the Tappahannock school, including a 2009 state championship and multiple district and regional championships. Jones’ state championship team went 14 and 0 and pounded alwaystough Radford 30 to 0 to win the state title. He was voted Virginia High School Coach of the Year in 2009, and he has coached in the state East-West all-star game twice. Jones will succeed Antron Yates at W&L. Yates coached the Eagles to a

successful 7-5 season last year, but was unable to be available to Washington & Lee’s student athletes as often as the school desired because he had a full-time job at Freedom High School in Wo o d b r i d g e , two hours away. “We just needed a coach who would be around here,” said Jones W&L Athletic D i r e c t o r Malcolm Lewis. “We’ve been talking to Coach Jones for sometime. To be able to fill our vacancy with a coach with his track record was a nobrainer,” said Lewis. Jones will inherit a football team with solid prospects. Almost two See jones, page 4

to the school children of CB as “damn kids”. Trivett began, “Some of you have done a real good job of forcing our employees to leave. It’s just really sad to think that y’all would stoop that low.” Recently, the school board accepted several resignations, including that of Beane. Trivett continued, “You know Kathleen is leaving; I’m sure Ms. Brubaker couldn’t wait to make that announcement, just like she has with other things.” Brubaker objected to the Mayor, stating Trivett’s comment was a personal attack. The crowd became noisy and eventually began clapping and yelling, which led to the Mayor taking a 5-minute recess. When the meeting reconvened, Brubaker addressed Trivett, stating that he had talked about the Council taking $600,000 from the town’s school system. Trivett stated he didn’t know what Brubaker was talking about. Brubaker then asked what the School’s intentions were concerning “turning over school property on the hill”. Trivett stated, “I have no comment on that, either.” Trivett then apologized, saying, “Mr. Mayor, I See meeting, page 4

Westmoreland County is benefiting from a federal government military transfer program that is allowing state and local agencies on tight budgets to obtain needed equipment at no cost to local taxpayers. Westmoreland County Sheriff C.O. Balderson said his department has received a large armored truck, known as an MRAP or Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle. “We got it through a cooperative program with the Virginia State Police,” said Balderson, a former state trooper. “You just never know when it might be needed,” Balderson said. “It could be a hostage or barricade situation, a natural disaster or serving a highrisk warrant. We prefer to hope for the best and prepare for the worst. If we don’t have to use it, that’s great.” MRAPs and a long list of other military surplus equipment, ranging from high tech binoculars to assault rifles, are being offered to local law enforcement agencies as a result of the winding down of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. “They’ve saved countless lives for our forces on the battlefield,” said Alan Estevez, Deputy Secretary

of Defense for Acquisition and Logistics. “If local law enforcement can use them, it’s a benefit to the taxpayer.” The Westmoreland County MRAP arrived from Texas last month, one of hundreds being delivered to law enforcement agencies across the country. The Westmoreland County Sheriff ’s Office has detailed their MRAP and painted it black. “We are already using it for training,” Balderson said. “When this opportunity came up, we talked about whether or not to get a vehicle,” Balderson said. “But since it was at no cost to the taxpayers, we decided to take it.” “The biggest thing we looked at was whether we could use it on a regional basis,” Balderson said. “We decided that would work, and we are making it available to other law enforcement agencies in the region.” “We will be using it in conjunction with our search and rescue team,” Balderson said. He pointed out that there are no weapons on the truck and said it is just a powerful means of protecting law enforcement officers. “You just never know what situations you might face,” he said.

The state of Col. Beach town and school budgets There have been volatile meetings with the Colonial Beach town council under fire from school supporters, citizens who are against raising taxes and school board officials fighting for fully funding the school’s operational budget. Terms such as bond issue, level funding and federal cuts can leave citizens confused about what really is the state of the Town’s budget. So here is a quick update on the state of the union, so to speak. Currently, the Town has not passed a budget for fiscal year 201415, which will begin on July 1, 2014. The Town has not decided how much local funding they will give to the town’s school system. The Town of Colonial Beach is mandated by the State to fund the School in 2014-15 at around $1.5 million. However, the school system is asking for just over $2.5 million for its operating budget. Level funding means the town gives the school the same amount as

they did in the previous year, thereby “funding” the school at the “level” of last year’s funding. Last year, the School asked for $2,153,198 from the Town, however the town cut funding by $50,000, resulting in the school system receiving only $2,103,198 in local funding from the town in fiscal year 2013-14. This year the school system’s operating budget needs just over $1 million additional funds to move of the elementary school to the high school campus and to make repairs to the 20-year-old high school building. Also in this funding requirement is the replacement of lights on the school’s playing fields. The council has had numerous long meetings to discuss the budget with little results, and no new budget has been passed. In order to keep things running smoothly in case a budget is not passed by June 30, at a packed budget work session held on June 9, Councilman Pete Bone, Council’s

Point of Contact for budget matters, motioned to temporarily fund both the Town and School for the first quarter of fiscal year 2014-15. The motion allows for the town and the school to re-use the current year’s budget, but the town will only appropriate the first quarter funding. So what does that mean? Simply put, from July 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014, the town and school can spend the same amount that they did during the same period in 2013. This will, in an emergency circumstance, allow both entities to continue to function. Town Attorney Andrea Erard stated after the June 12 meeting that this budget motion passed, and it is in effect. At the June 12 council meeting, a resolution was passed to allow the Town staff and School staff, including the Finance Officers, to work out budget details and come back to Council with their needs. The funding of the move of the el-

ementary school has been accounted for by a $0.04 tax increase in Colonial Beach Real Estate Property Tax. The school system has asked for clarification in writing before they proceed with the move. However, this tax increase does not solve the shortfalls the town has with funding the school’s operating budget at the level for which they have asked. Currently, the State has not passed its budget, so both the School and the Town does not know what funding they will receive from that source. School Finance Director J.D. Martin was out of state during the recent meetings. In a phone interview, when asked if the School could function under the June 9 Resolution to fund the first quarter, he said that it was a start. —Linda Farneth

Kennedy Ann Elizabeth Berry (left) was the youngest member of the Popes Creek R4L team while “Miss Popes Creek” on the right was the beauty contest winner of the Relay Day event. Popes Creek Baptist Church has been in existence for 202 years and 2014 is the first year for a Relay for Life Team. This team was organized in November 2013 with 48 members and on April 19, 2014 the youngest member, Kennedy Ann Elizabeth Berry, (above left) joined us. The team established a goal of $10,000.00 to be raised by May 31, and Relay Day. Popes Creek was the #1 fundraising team bringing in $16,539.55. According to Liz Nash the team worked very hard selling cookbooks, having yard sales, bake sales, selling luminaries and very generous donations. She said it was an overwhelming success because they worked with Jesus as their Captain guiding and directing the way as he does daily for those who accept him. Relay Day was perfectly beautiful and inspiring. One of the highlights was the Miss Relay beauty contest which was won by Miss Popes Creek (above right). All of

the men who participated in this event need to be commended for their good sportsmanship to raise money for this cause. Kennedy Ann celebrated her 6 weeks birthday with the team and also raked in some donations. Liz said “raising money for a cure for cancer is very important to me because I am an eleven year survivor but have also lost some very dear loved ones to this dreadful disease. Popes Creek would like to say a very BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped in any way and look for us to be be back next year.” If you are not involved with a church, please join our family at Popes Creek Baptist Church.

Northern Neck of Virginia Historical Society to hold July 4th Celebration Even in Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northern Neck, Burnt House Field Cemetery is an out-of-the-way place to honor a signer of the Declaration of Independence. The cemetery at Hague in Westmoreland County is surrounded by a brick wall and 100 acres of corn. Richard Henry Lee (1732-1794) is buried here with his parents and grandparents. Lee was more than just a signer. In the Continental Congress in Philadelphia, Lee introduced the resolution calling for independence from Great Britain that led to the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776. His brother Francis Lightfoot Lee (1734-1797) also signed it. Ten years earlier, they had burned an effigy of the Tax Man at the Westmoreland courthouse and helped organize other opposition to the hated Stamp Act.

The Journal

June 13 Art Walk Despite heavy rain earlier in the day, Friday the 13th still had a good turnout for the Art Walk. The Potomac River Fisheries Commission is currently featuring work by photographers Sharon Jones, Elcy Leshley, J.B. Waltermire, Ellen Cosby, Rob Rudick, Connie Canby, Susan Tilt, Dr. Peter Fahrney, Fred Perrine and Kathryn Murray. The Journal caught up to two of the photographers, Waltermire and Fahrney, during the 2nd Friday Art Walk this month. J.B. Waltermire said photography was always a love of his; he recently took up photography again and is currently displaying his work at the Fisheries Commission in Colonial Beach. Waltermire began his photography career simply to preserve images he wanted to remember. He has used a variety of cameras, including a Hassleblad as far back as 40 years ago. Waltermire maintained his own darkroom for black and white film until he began using digital film. His other interests are genealogy and ham radios. Waltermire considers himself an amateur compared to Peter Fahrney,

Left: Dr. Peter Fahrney speculates on why he favors black and white photography, “Maybe I understand the light and shadows better than the color variations.” Right: J.D. Waltermire started with black and white photography but gravitates toward digital color photography now. who made his living as an emergency physician. Fahrney began taking photos in medical school in 1957, where he began taking medical pictures. During college, he also made money photographing sports and people, which helped with tuition. While living in Philadelphia, he

photographed landscapes and took studio portraits. He transformed an unused bathroom in the basement of the house where he lived and set up a darkroom. Since then, he has stayed with his favorite style of black and white photos. When Fahrney moved here in 2001, he was one of the first artists to

Jones: Returns to the Northern Neck from page 1 dozen lettermen return from a team that went two rounds into the state playoffs last year, and the W&L junior varsity team was 8-1-1 last season. “We’ve got a lot of good kids here,” said Jones. “It’s just a matter of how hard they want to work.” After his father died, Jones left Essex High in 2010 to return to Pulaski, his hometown, to coach and be near his family. He took over a Pulaski County High School Cougars team that was facing a number of challenges, including VHSL probation, but still managed to get them to the playoffs three of his four years. “We’re glad to get back to the Northern Neck,” Jones said. Jones arrived last week and already has been working with W&L athletes in the weight room. “We’re a little behind,” he said. “But the kids, and all the people here, have just been fantastic.”

Jones will be a physical education teacher at Montross Middle School when he isn’t coaching at W&L. His wife, Meredith, will teach math at Washington & Lee. The couple has two elementary school daughters, Payton, 9, and Kylie, 8. Jones, 41, is a former Emory and Henry linebacker, but his teams are known for their quick strike spread offenses, something he said he hopes to implement at W&L. His effort will be aided by returning star quarterback Treshaun Brown, running back DJ Weldon and wide receiver Marcus Byrd. Northern Neck District foes should also be concerned about Jones’ new working relationship with Lewis, a coaching legend in his own right. As W&L’s football coach for more than 10 years, Lewis had 123 wins and won a state championship. He has been W&L’s athletic director for nine years. The two coaches faced each other often when Lewis was leading W&L

To be able to fill our vacancy with a coach with his track record was a no-brainer.” —Malcolm Lewis and Jones was leading Essex. “I have a tremendous respect for him,” Jones said. “We had some great battles over the years.” “We were lucky to get Coach Jones here,” said Lewis. “He understands the Northern Neck mentality, and he understands the Northern Neck student athlete. We have some tough kids here, and they are going to have a good team. Whether they can contend for a state championship is the question.” —Richard Leggitt

Meeting: More conflict and nothing done from page 1 apologize for using anybody’s name, I thought if they could use my name when I wasn’t in the audience, it would be appropriate to use their name up here [indicating when standing at the podium], but it probably wasn’t.” Trivett said that there has been too much confusion concerning the council funding the elementary school’s move and asked for something in writing to verify that the council will fund the move, so the school system can move forward on that matter. Brubaker stated that the Town has a resolution stating the town will secure a bond to fund the move, but part of the “condition” was that the school would turn over the property containing the burned out building to the town. Brubaker further stated, “So if you have no comment, I respect that, but until the property is turned over, I don’t see how we can go forward with the bond issue.” Trivett argued, “You raised taxes $0.03 to pay for the bond; that’s what you said. So now, you want to raise taxes to make everyone of these citizens pay for that bond. And now you want the school property, when the School’s going to have to build a building, and we have to sell that property; I’m just asking, isn’t that true?” Brubaker responded, “You are the one who suggested to this council that you give us the property.” Councilman Gary Seeber interjected, “That was MY idea.” Brubaker continued to maintain that Trivett was the one to make that statement. Brubaker then debated the issue of releasing information, stating it was not proprietary information, as had been claimed. Trivett said he didn’t want to debate that issue. He commended the council for holding the budget part of the meeting at the high school. Trivett then asked Brubaker, “Didn’t you, Ms. Brubaker, say that every single person on this Town Council fully supports the school division?” Brubaker agreed. Then Trivett

asked, “If that’s the truth, then just let me read the email that you wrote the next day.” Brubaker responded, “You’re not reading an email that’s private information.” The crowd reacted with a roar. Seeber cut in, saying, “Robert’s Rules of Order says he can address the body, but he cannot address any particular person. If he’s going to read personal email, that’s incorrect.” Mayor Ham stated, “It should be done in a different venue.” Trivett agreed not to read the email aloud but stated he would pass it around after the meeting. Goforth began an exchange concerning a resolution sent by the School to the Council. In April, at their regular School Board meeting, the CB School Board voted to pass a resolution that would transfer deeds to the former elementary school campus property to the Town on or before September 30, 2014, after all Virginia Code requirements have been met and with the stipulation that any and all insurance settlements from the elementary campus fire of Jan. 5, are complete. The resolution was in response to the council’s demand for collateral in exchange for funding costs associated with the elementary school move to the high school campus. The funding would also include several maintenance repairs needed at the high school, including replacement of old football field lights. Council recently voted to raise real estate taxes by $0.04. The council explained to citizens during the public hearing that $0.03 of that increase was dedicated to paying off a bond the town intended to take out to fund the elementary school move and high school repairs. At the June 12 meeting, Councilwoman Goforth stated that the legal description in that resolution was not correct. Trivett replied that it was his understanding that the property was to be sold, and the proceeds given back to the school system. Trivett asked, “Am I missing something?” Seeber continued to state that it was his idea and confirmed that he

had indicated that the proceeds were meant to benefit the school. Then Chiarello challenged Trivett to work with him. “Mr. Trivett, I would challenge you to work with me to come up with the funding on the school. Like you stated, you said we made an offer, and we didn’t comply with that offer. I’m going to make an offer to you; let’s see if you can comply with that one. And again, we need to put down the swords, ok? Stop the battle; this is ridiculous! What’s at stake here- it’s not your reputation; it’s not my reputation, because it doesn’t matter.” Trivett replied, “It does matter! My reputation does matter, yours may not, but mine does!” Then Chiarello made the comment, “Me and you are insignificant; it’s the damn kids in this school..” At this point, members of the crowd reacted to Chiarello’s adjective describing the children with shocking noises and questioning, “What kind of kids?” Comments became unproductive after that, and Mayor Ham finally stepped up and ended the presentation portion of the meeting. Councilman Pete Bone suggested that both entities continue to try to get back to the Memorandum of Understanding that outlined both the Town’s and School Board’s intentions, which is currently in the hands of the School’s attorney. Bone also suggested the council and school board step back and let the staff heads iron out the budget, and come back to the council with what is needed in funding so the council can decide how to raise those funds. During the meeting, the council passed a resolution to authorize staff to work together on the budget. Councilman Tommy Edwards addressed Trivett, suggesting the school board office start sending letters to put some pressure on officials to get a ruling on the fire. Edwards said, “I know they are slow, but this is ridiculous.” Next week, The Journal will feature citizens’ comments from the June 12 meeting.

Drifters Basketball Championship reunion

Leonard Banks

It was a special year! Members of the Drifters 2008-2009 Division 1, Group A, State Basketball Championship team reflect on their memorable accomplishment at Dockside Restaurant & Blue Heron Pub Tiki Bar. Leonard Banks Sports editor They accomplished the unthinkable! On March 3, 2009 at 3:45 p.m., time stopped in the township of Colonial Beach. Five years ago, the Colonial Beach High School varsity boys’ basketball team made school history by winning its first ever VHSL Division I, Group A Boys’ Basketball State Championship. They accomplished this mammoth feat by defeating the Eastern Montgomery Mustangs, 77-75, on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University, at the Siegel Center, in Richmond. Black & Gold pride resonated in the hearts of 3,500 plus Drifter fans, who celebrated in the stands on that day in high school history. Before the team departed Richmond, sports icon and long-time, and now retired Drifter boys’ varsity head basketball coach, Steve Swope made his team a promise to never forget his team’s mark on history. He challenged his team to meet and celebrate their magical journey every five years in their beloved township. On Saturday, six of the 10 members of the team honored Swope’s challenge, by celebrating at Dockside Restaurant and Blue Heron Pub,

“For me to see all these guys again makes me want to be able to create something like this every weekend of my life.”

—Steve Swope

in Colonial Beach. Also, present, along with numerous family and friends and coaches, were Jonathan Parker, and Drifter varsity coach, Keith Dickerson. Parker, the current Drifters boys varsity head basketball coach, served as an assistant to Swope. Randy Jones, not present, also served as Swope’s assistant during the state championship run. The moment Mustangs Brad Wooten narrowly missed a desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer, Swope, Jones, and Parker embraced, knowing that their destiny as state champions had become reality. It was a moment frozen in time. “For me to see all these guys again makes me want to be able to create something like this every weekend of my life,” Swope said. “I love them dearly, and I told them after the game, we will have a reunion, and lord willing, whether it’s a 10-year or 15-year celebration, we will continue doing this. We are a band of brothers,

and we will always be family.” As a three-year starter at Longwood University, Tristan “TT” Carey achieved nearly every collegiate accomplishment an athlete could ever dream of. However, fans will never forget his 37 points and the go-ahead basket that added to sealing the fate of the Mustangs with just 20-seconds to go. “It feels like it just happened yesterday,” the recent Lancer graduate said. “Often when I hang out with my high school pals, we all tend to bring up those memorable moments during the year of the state championship. Personally, bringing the championship to Colonial Beach has been great, and I will always cherish the moment.” Without a strong supporting cast of unselfish players the championship hardware would not dwell in the hallowed trophy cases of the Drifterdome. Carey’s right hand man, Dylan Farinet, contributed 17 points, 19

rebounds, and also nailed two free throws with 16.2 seconds left to give the Black & Gold a precarious 76-72 lead. However, after Mustang guard, Adam Sisson’s 3-pointer, the Drifters lead was cut to one (76-75). As fate would have it, Farinet made one of two foul shots, giving the Drifters a slim margin of victory. Like Carey, Farinet enjoyed a stellar high school athletic career, and when on to become a standout forward with the University of Mary Washington Eagles men’s basketball team. During his final season, Farinet helped the Eagles achieve their best season in school history. Upon reflection, Farinet hopes to use those memorable championship moments, and the journey it took to make it happen as a college head basketball coach someday. “When you put in so much work towards a program, where people appreciate it, you learn to love the process,” Farinet said. “You fall in love with the program, and eventually it pays off.” On a sad note, while the entire team has gone on to lead successful academic and professional careers, there is a void in the community of Colonial Beach. Over a month ago, 22-year old, and fellow Drifter championship teammate, Jeryl Dickerson passed away during a kayaking accident. During his former player’s memorial, Swope, with a heavy heart, gave Dickerson’s eulogy. His memories of his tireless warrior will forever be embedded in Drifter legend. “I talked to his grandmother recently, and everything in her heart is right here with us,” Swope said. Swope’s legacy of accomplishment will always be remembered for over 1,000 combined victories in basketball and baseball, and the litany of championships that now decorate the walls of the Drifterdome and Monroe Park in the form of banners. “Everybody in this community is special, and very close,” Swope added. “This village raised me, and I’d like to think that I was a part of the village that helped raise a lot of these kids. It’s just a special place to live.”

Hundreds flock to Visual & Rize 5th annual football camp Leonard Banks Sports editor

Leonard Banks

The fifth annual Visualize & Rize Football Camp became the perfect outlet for summer fun.

For 354 local kids, the opportunity of a lifetime came gift wrapped, with a camp Tshirt as memento of the fifth annual Visual & Rize Football Camp. The kids were given the rare opportunity to learn from area athletes and coaches, while under the auspices of NFL two-time Pro Bowl and Superbowl Champion, Chicago Bear offensive lineman, Jermon Bushrod. Thrilled to see over 50 coaches and numerous volunteers step in to assist in the camp’s activities, camp director, and James Monroe assistant football coach, George Major maintained the same consistent station-format that has made the event one of the largest attractions for kids throughout

the Fredericksburg area. “I didn’t change it up, because we have such a wide range of kids, and age groupings,” Major said. Shortly after the close of registration, the camp began with exercise drills, running, and stretching. The football and baseball stadium fields were used for four stations that consisted of quarterback, running back, wide receiver, offensive line, defensive line, pro-shuttle, L-drills, and agility combine skills. “We’ve also shortened the camp, because the little kids cannot handle the length of the camp,” Major said. Among the notable athletes and coaches present were King George High School (KGHS) varsity head coach Jeff Smith, members of the KGHS football team,

“I didn’t change it up, because we have such a wide range of kids, and age groupings.” —George Major

James Monroe offensive coordinator, Eddie Haynes, members of the 2002 KGHS football team (Jim Rishmawi, James Brown, DD Boxley, Carlos Allen), and a host of prominent coaches that took the time to volunteer their skills.

KGYAA football & registration sessions set to start Staff Reports With its spring flag football campaign having come to an end earlier this month, the King George Youth Athletic Association (KGYAA) now looks forwards to a busy summer and preparation for the upcoming fall tackle football season – its 14th overall season. Over the course of the next two months, the KGYAA will be conducting multiple registration sessions, a summer football and cheerleading clinic, and also football-centric gym classes for the students at the Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) program. With respect to its fall registration sessions, the KGYAA has coordinated on-site sessions for June 21, June 28, July 12, and July 19. All sessions are to be conducted at King George Elementary School, and will run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day. The KGYAA plans to accept reg-

istrations for the following program offerings: Pee Wee Flag Football (ages 4-5), Senior Flag Football (1317), Rookie Tackle Football (6-8), Junior Tackle Football (9-11), Varsity Mavericks Travel Tackle Football (12-13), Rookie Cheerleading (5-8), Junior Cheerleading (9-11), Varsity Mavericks Travel Cheerleading (1113). In addition to conducting registration sessions, and fresh on the heels of a very successful spring football and cheerleading clinic, the association has coordinated another clinic in July. More specifically, the KGYAA will be conducting its summer football and cheerleading clinic on Saturday, July 19, 9 a.m.-12 p.m. at the King George High School football stadium. Finally, with the ESCE program continuing to conduct classes over the summer, the KGYAA plans to carry on leading football-centric gym classes for the students there.

During these classes, students two to four years of age enjoy practicing passing, catching, kicking, while also working various conditioning and agility drills. Coursing throughout all of these football practice-like sessions is sheer fun and excitement! Given the registration sessions, the summer football and cheerleading clinic, and the ECSE gym sessions, it goes without saying that the KGYAA is sure to be considerably busy over the summer break. For more information on the KGYAA and its fall football and cheerleading programs, visit their official “Registration” page at www.kgyaa. org.

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

The Tea Party comes into its own There isn’t much more to be said about Eric Cantor’s defeat earlier this week. The GOP House Majority leader lost to a Tea Party-backed favorite. Some ascribe the Congressman’s loss to his support of immigration reform; others say it was a matter of his being associated with the Republican establishment, while a few more say it was that he had lost David S. Kerr touch with his district. Really, it doesn’t matter. It was, going away, a decided win for the Republican Party’s most radical element, the Tea Party. However, trying to capture the primary season in a tally sheet of wins and losses, Tea Party versus establishment, doesn’t capture the whole picture. Using that approach, the numbers in favor of the Tea Party aren’t that great. However, when you consider the effect the Tea Party

movement has had on the GOP, that’s another story entirely. First of all, the media likes labels. This isn’t, contrary to right wing chatter, because reporters are inherently evil. Rather, it’s because labels make writing about politics a lot easier. It’s much easier to call someone a conservative, a liberal or a tea partier, than it is to spend a paragraph or two dissecting their positions. If we did, we’d probably find that most politicians aren’t so easily categorized. And the Tea Party is no exception. They aren’t really an organized group, and finding out exactly what they stand for can be challenging. There are some in the Tea Party movement who advocate a more libertarian philosophy, with concerns about government snooping and overseas involvements, while others, probably the majority, are highly conservative; in many cases, far more conservative than most Republican-elected officials. They are also decidedly anti-tax. As if all taxes, all the time, no matter for what, are bad. Mind you, there are

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor Recent reports on the impact of global warming and subsequent climate change underscore the need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. A new comprehensivestudy finds that an excise fee on carbon can reduce those emissions while also adding jobs to the economy – if the revenues are returned to households. The study, conducted by Regional Economic Models, Inc., examined application of an excise fee on the carbon-dioxide content of fossil fuels. The fee would start at $10 per ton, increasing at $10 per ton each year. Revenue from the fee would be returned to households in equal shares as direct payments. Under this approach, recycling the revenue back into the economy would add 2.2 million jobs over ten years. Improvements in air quality would save 13,000 lives a year. Emissions would decline by 33 percent. What this study illustrates is that by giving the revenue back to the people, a carbon excise fee will actually stimulate the economy. The big objection to a carbon tax has been that it would kill jobs. That assumption is now shown to be false if the revenues are returned to households and not used for governmental purposes. The REMI study provides detailed annual output data by region and by sector of the economy supporting the conclusions. For those opposed to more government regulations like those issued last week by EPA, the best recourse is to apply a revenue-neutral carbon excise fee. This is supported by conservatives from George Shultz to Greg Mankiw. With the REMI study showing a carbon fee that returns revenue to households and will add millions of jobs, this is the option everyone can embrace as a real free market solution. Readers should contact Congressman Wittman and request that he support this conservative alternative to government regulations. Thank you. Hope Jackson Kinsale Dear Editor: I read with interest David Kerr’s editorial, “Wittman gets a challenger” in the June 11th edition of the King George Journal. Of particular interest was the assertion that Wittman lacked independence from the GOP leadership during last year’s government shutdown. Contrary to the editorial, during the government shutdown Congressman Wittman displayed independence and went to bat for the First District by publicly declaring he would vote for a “clean” bill to ensure that critical government operations could continue, which he is constitutionally required to do, without a health care delay attached to it. Now mind you, Wittman thinks that Obamacare needs to be repealed because the law is fundamentally flawed. But during the government shutdown last October, Congressman Wittman put Veterans, the federal workforce, active duty military, and DoD employees before the GOP leadership on Capitol Hill. It has always been this way for Congressman Wittman, putting the dis-

trict first before party politics in DC. In fact, for the last several years Wittman has voted, often alone, to make Congress stay in Washington during the month of August – typically when Congress leaves for a month vacation - so Congress can gets its financial house in order and not risk another shutdown in the future. Wittman’s action has not made him popular with Congressional leadership, and that’s fine by me. Wittman works for us, the First District! Joe Grzeika King George Dear Editor: As usual, columnist Mark Fike did an excellent job covering the basics of the many outdoor activities you can do with your kids this summer [Ideas for the kids this summer June 11, 2014]. But I have a small bone to pick. Mr. Fike missed one of the most under-appreciated natural treasures we have in King George County: the Dahlgren Railroad Heritage Trail. The DRHT is over 15 miles long and roughly goes from one end of the County to the other. With the exception of two short detours, the trail is wide, flat, and fairly well maintained. The trail is open to pedestrians and cyclists and is home to a Box Car (circa 1919) and a newly renovated Caboose (circa 1917). As a nonprofit group, the Friends of DRHT has put thousands of hours into maintaining and improving the trail. Several Boy Scouts have completed their Eagle Projects on the trail, including the latest project by Ed Perkins to provide wheelchair accessible picnic tables. Other groups ranging from the Girl Scouts to the King George Animal Rescue League to ultra marathons have held events on the trail. The trail is open to permit holders and a free permit is easily found on the website at: friendsdrht.org. While the trail is currently private property, the owner and the Friends of DRHT have every intention of making the trail a part of Caledon State Park. So while I enjoyed Mr. Fike’s article on summer activities, I’d love to see the DRHT get more press in the future. And hopefully in the future, it can fall under the heading of hiking trails at Caledon. Neil Richard King George

The

times I have sympathized with that. Usually, around April 15, and when my county taxes come due. But the Tea Party’s impact has been more profound than most political observers seem to realize. They’ve won a few big name races. However, the big impact has been on the Republican Party itself. To survive, to ward off potential Tea Party threats, Republican incumbents have been forced farther and farther to the right. No “hands across the aisle,” compromise or working with the other side on issues of common concern for them. Many establishment Republicans have responded by trying to out “Tea Party” the Tea Party itself. Our Congressman, Rob Wittman, easily defeated a Tea Party-challenge, but to do so, at least if his literature is any guide, he had to make Rush Limbaugh and Ted Cruz look wimpy. Wittman often tries to project a conciliatory, even moderate image. But, when it came to the primary, at least if his literature was to be believed, he was a no-holdsbarred, Tea Party Republican. That’s

happened in a lot Republican districts all over the country. It’s even true at the local level. Members of the House of Delegates in our region are all keeping a wary eye out for possible Tea Party challengers in 2015. Senator Richard Stuart (R-28th Senatorial District) may get one, and who knows, maybe even Speaker Bill Howell (R-28th House District) may have to ward off a Tea Party-based challenger as well. However, most importantly, while they both would probably survive a primary challenge, both men, each often willing to work with the other side, may have to become much more harshly partisan. Both individuals support new spending for large capital projects, like roads, and both were supportive of the 2012 Transportation Bill. Unfortunately, many in the Tea Party movement were not amused and still carry a grudge over this one. The Tea Party is on a roll, and they’re not going to stop. Like it or not, they are rapidly becoming the Republican Party. Reach David Kerr at kerr@journalpress.com

Dear Editor With the proclamation “Tax increases are easy”, our venerable, former Mayor, current Council Member, The Honorable Mr. Bone launched Colonial Beach and its residents into uncharted territory. [Bone] Proposed to amend Ordinance 648, which will result in just short of a $900,000 reduction in our school’s operational budget; a stunning 37%, year over year reduction in our town’s largest off-season employer’s resources, that will be directly responsible for massive job losses and brings into question if the school can stay in compliance with all of the State and Federal mandates. The economic reverberations are unknowable at this point, but will surely be felt the hardest when our town can least afford it, mid-winter. Justifications given for such a massive reduction by our former mayor, after a very long special town council meeting, where the sentiment clearly was not in favor of any tax increase, was not based on the comments given by our citizens, but on the need to market our surplus properties. While, clearly, we need to address the procedures that are currently in place, which have resulted in our inability to return the “Boardwalk properties” back to the private sector, it is hard to understand how undermining a core economic leg of our town will assist in that effort, or why linking the two will produce any positive outcome for our town. Not surprising, [the proposal was] quickly seconded by Mr. Chiarello, a long-time belligerent of our independent school system; who as recently as two weeks ago, telegraphed his intentions by stating, “We can no longer support our independent school system”, described the school’s performance as “mediocre” and those involved in the school’s management as irresponsible for mishandling resources. Nail-driven home by Ms. Brubak-

er, our town council’s point of contact with the school system, by first announcing she is running for reelection, then voiced her support of the pending amendment. Only after receiving the damage report from our school board the following day, which they characterized as a “death spiral”, did she express some reservations by stating she “hopes it will not be so bad”, a sentiment shared not only by those that are employed by our school system, but all of us, and raises the question: Would it have been better to ask before, not after casting a vote? Clearly, Ordinance 648 was not going to pass in its entirety. Jim Chiarello and the very sizable proportion of our citizens of our town carried the day, and it would appear, for better or worse, we are a step closer to their desired goal of consolidation. Only time will tell if the decision to defund our school system will be placed with past council decisions as approving condos without parking, or approving a new subdivision without a road bond agreement; and it goes without saying, basing economic decisions on hope leaves much to be desired. For those of us on the other side of the issue: Folks who are not so much pro-tax, but pro-take care of the stuff we got, did get the funds needed to ensure our children have a safe, clean and secure environment in which they can continue their studies. Perhaps Mr. Bone’s efforts towards disposing of surplus properties will not go unrewarded. Unfortunately, while those that voted “aye” in their zest to drive the steely beast from our midst left many funding priorities on the table; moving the police department, water tower maintenance, the fire department’s roof, and our first responders’ needs were all left unanswered; all of which will have to be taken up again, next year.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 People seem to be going out of their way to be nice to you, Aries. While you may suspect they have ulterior motives, their kindness really is nothing more than good will.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 You are tempted to join the party this week, even though you know it is probably a better idea to decline. But the prospect of socializing and having a good time is too tempting.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, approach your workload with an optimistic attitude this week. You can expect your efforts to produce positive results that don’t go unnoticed.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you often feel uncomfortable when you have too many loose ends. It may take quite a while this week to wrap up all of your obligations before you can relax.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 It is an uphill battle to focus on chores this week, Gemini. You would rather be out having fun, but putting off chores now will only lead to more work down the road.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, the more you ponder the decisions you have to make, the more you struggle to determine a positive outcome. Give yourself some breathing room.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, although you are capable of keeping up appearances this week, you will be lost in your own thoughts. Personal issues prove to be a distraction. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, serve as a diplomat this week, placing yourself in the middle of conflict because you want to help. Keep a level head and don’t get swept into the argument. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your ability to focus is very strong, but this week you cannot seem to get your mind to cooperate. You may have a million things to think about.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Career issues must be dealt with, Capricorn. You may have been running through various options, and if you have reached a decision, then go with your gut instincts. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, although everyone around you seems to be stressing out, for some reason you are able to breeze through your days without a worry in the world. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Your intuition is telling you to proceed with caution, Pisces. Watch where you step, but don’t let caution take over your life.

Important Information for Virginia DMV Customers Richmond—As a result of 2014 General Assembly action, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is advising customers of important new laws.

Customers requesting one of these indicators on their credential must present a signed statement by a licensed physician confirming the applicant’s condition.

Medical Indicators Current law allows DMV customers to indicate a hearing or speech impairment or a condition of insulin-dependent diabetes on their driver’s licenses. Starting July 1, drivers may also designate an intellectual disability or autism spectrum disorder on their drivers’ licenses, and holders of identification cards may also designate any of these conditions on those cards as well.

Hybrid Vehicle License Tax Repeal Effective July 1, the $64 annual hybrid vehicle tax will be repealed. The hybrid tax is still required to be paid on all registration periods due prior to July 1, 2014. Owners of hybrid vehicles with registrations expiring on or before June 30, 2014 are required to pay the $64 hybrid tax. The tax will also be assessed on hybrid vehicles purchased and

registered between now and July 1. Customers who renewed their hybrid vehicle registrations for multiple years are entitled to a refund of prepaid hybrid taxes for registration years beginning July 2014 and after. There will be no prorated refunds for time periods prior to July 1. Starting in July, refund checks will be issued to the primary owner’s mailing address currently on file with DMV. Ignition Interlock If someone is convicted of a DUI first offense, and the court does not require installation of an ignition interlock system on at least one

The blood test that could save your life King George - Arlene Jacovelli, CEO of the Community Care Clinic announced recently that a local resident owes her life to a vital heart-related blood test that led Care Clinic Staff to urgently insist the reluctant patient go directly to the hospital. Once there, the patient was scheduled for immediate surgery. According to Dr. Roosevelt Dean, a primary care physician at the Community Care Clinic, “The VAP Test now available on site provides predictive data for heart disease and allows physicians to manage treatment options or identify the potential threat of heart attack and stroke in patients.” A press release by AtheroTech shared that data from a comparison study using the Vertical Lipoprotein Particle™ (VLP) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) Lipoprofile® showed that the VLP™ compared well with the NMR, further demonstrating the benefit of new testing methods for determining a patient’s risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). While low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc) – also known as the bad cholesterol in the body – is positively associated with CHD, there has been increased interest in identifying new CHD biomarkers. Recent studies suggest that a patient’s LDL particle (LDLp) concentration, which tells exactly how many bad particles are present in the bloodstream, may actually be a better predictor of CHD. In fact, the LDLp measure is advocated by the National Lipid Association (NLA) in

both the patient’s initial evaluation and during follow-up of those with an established risk of CHD. “Because coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of death in the United States, we felt it was critical that we find our patients the most comprehensive and cutting edge tests and technologies available to ensure we are accurately measuring their risk,” said Jacovelli. “With tools such as the VLP™ now available here in our own backyard, it offers us a local, yet innovative way to improve patient outcomes. These tests are even more crucial to women as we don’t exhibit the classic symptoms. Women also tend to think of heart disease as a male issue, when women need this type of testing more, as their symptoms manifest more subtly.” Dr. Dean further noted “that the VLP technology offered within the

VAP tests provides me with a more detailed analysis of the cholesterol make-up of an individual, allowing for a more accurate assessment of one’s cardiovascular disease risk, which commonly manifests as heart attack and stroke. And just as important, the VAP also provides a complete analysis of one’s glycemic status (diabetes) using glycomarkers.” The VLP™ technology was developed by Atherotech Diagnostics Lab, the makers of the VAP® + Lipid Panel – the most accurate and comprehensive lipid profile available to assess cardiometabolic risk factors in three areas: cholesterol, triglycerides and hereditary. For more information on the VAP® + Lipid Panel and VLP™ technology, visit the AtheroTech Lab located within the Community Care Clinic campus at 11131 Journal Parkway, King George, VA 22485.

vehicle and any vehicles he or she operates as a condition of restricted driving privileges, then effective July 1, DMV will require it. SUT Increase Beginning July 1, the sales and use tax (SUT) increases from 4 percent to 4.05 percent. This increase is part of the transportation funding package adopted by the General Assembly last year, which gradually increases the SUT to 4.15 percent by 2016. The minimum SUT remains $75. Vehicle Inspection for Military Members Effective July 1, active military members residing in Virginia and returning from an official absence, have 14 calendar days to obtain a current vehicle safety inspection sticker. Under current law, updated inspection stickers are due within five business days.

Dads play an important role in the outdoors Mark Fike

It is absolutely no secret that fathers play a key role in introducing kids to the outdoors. My father began taking me fishing and hunting at an early age. We fished and hunted for two reasons- First, Dad enjoyed being outdoors catching fish and hunting small game. I suspect the peace of the woods and waters was therapy for him from the daily commute to Northern Virginia at the wee hours of the morning and often returning late in the day or evening. My father still works hard to make a living, but he also enjoys wetting a line or doing a little hunting. I realized very early on that fishing and hunting are also ways to put food on the table while enjoying the woods and waters. Without a doubt, my fondest memories of my childhood are not some trip to Kings Dominion, the waterpark, or a vacation away from home. Rather, my fondest memories are of the times I spent next to my father casting for smallmouth bass on the river, while standing knee-deep in the clear water on top of multicolored, water-rounded rocks, or propped up next to a massive oak, sitting on damp, black soil and rotting fall leaves while peering into the treetops for squirrels with a .22 rifle in my lap. Dad took the time to show me the

best ways to bait a catfish hook, have patience when the fish were not biting, and I wanted to head home, skin a squirrel or find where the best den trees were. Dad taught me a lot, and I used those skills and continue to use them as I teach my kids and other kids about the outdoors. I cannot imagine how my life would have progressed without the times my father spent with me in the woods or on the water. In fact, I know a lot of what my father taught me helped feed my family and me. Additionally, the skills I learned about the outdoors also taught me other things; I learned how to be thankful for the little things in life. When I had little money between jobs when I was in college, I thought about what I did have, and I appreciated it. I knew that no matter how good a photographer I was, I could never recreate the colors or feeling of watching the sun go down across the water or over the desert where I was going to college. I relished dropping a line in a nearby canal to catch a few fish, because that was all the fishing I could have. It was fun, and I learned how to make it work for me. It did not matter that much that the water was small, the fish were small and it was pretty much all the water that was available. Those simple things sustained me

I am blessed because my father now takes time with my kids to do things with them and teach them about the outdoors.

â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Mark Fike

during hard times. I learned how to stop and enjoy the smell of the fall air, even when it was tough to get out of the city when I was in college. I learned how to be patient, even when I was not inclined to do so. Squirrel hunting and fishing taught me that being patient has its rewards, if one is able to honestly wait for them. It was not always easy to be patient, and it still is not easy, but I know now, due to Dad showing me, that it is well worth it. When money got really tight between my time in the Corps and coming home, I was able to take my skills learned from my father in the outdoors and put food on my table with relative ease. In fact, at times when I was out getting myself some dinner, I would run across others that had no idea how to catch a fish or hunt a rabbit. I would take the time to show them, or at least share my bounty with them and encourage them to learn how to feed themselves. I recall two things during this time that made me very grateful for my father and our country- First, one

gentleman I was giving some meat to asked where I learned how to do what I was doing. He seemed surprised when I told him my father showed me. He commented to me that he wished he had a father to show him. Second, he also informed me that in his country, he could not have a firearm. I cannot imagine living his life. I left that conversation vowing to show many others the skills and appreciation my dad showed me. For those of you that may not have had a father to show you how to fish or hunt, please consider trying it now, and then pass it on to your kids or kids that you know. It is an investment that pays off over and over again through the years. For those of us that have fathers or uncles or grandfathers who were able to be there for us and show us the bounties of the woods and water, take a moment and thank that person. I am sure they know how important their actions were, but it never hurts to let them know that you also realize how important they were in your life.

Dad is not one to pose for photos, so I have to sneak them when I can. Some of my fondest memories are of me fishing next to him on the river or hunting with him in the woods.

COMMONWEALTH ANTIQUES & APPRAISALS, INC. Estate Sale

Saturday & Sunday, June 21st & 22nd, 9-4 At the home of Mrs. Gail Gillan at 1571 Laurel Point Drive in Laurel Point outside Kilmarnock, VA This cut glass pitcher belongs to a family with long ties to the Northern Neck. It is in excellent condition, and occasionally still is in use for iced tea and lemonade.Â The owners have been unable to find any identification on it. The pitcher is a fine example of the American Brilliant Period of glass making in America, which lasted from 1890 to 1915.Â Principally centered in Ohio, the glass industry during that time produced perhaps the greatest flowering of glass Henry Lane manufacturing in American Hull history.Â This piece is typical of the age. That it bears no etched company name is not unusual, as most of the wares of the period do not.Â Major factories such as Hawkes, Libby and

others often did not inscribe their products with identifying markings.Â Obviously, those which do have the makerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s identity are more valuable.Â Â An apprentice spent seven years learning the trade, during which time he made many of the unmarked pieces. Seconds were not allowed on the market, and were smashed; thus, all chipped or otherwise flawed items have suffered after having been purchased.Â A current retail value for this pitcher would be $150. Pieces of American Brilliant Period cut glass, as with all antiques, are commodities, subject to changes in both taste and market conditions. Fine cut glass commanded higher prices 30 years ago than they do today.Â I knew of one Northern Neck family that amassed a collection of over 400 large pieces.Â The parents died long ago, and the children divided the collection, which regrettably, insofar as many of the items are concerned today, would bring less than the parents had paid for them.

Partial Listing of Items: Large tortoise shell, large Neoclassical mirror, collection of mid-century modern furniture, 1950s white upholstered sofa, sofa table, Japanese watercolors & woodblock prints, ant. MahJong set, clothing, jewelry, vintage purses, painted tall chest, large table & floor lamps, leather armchair, upholstered ottoman, collection of shell boxes, pr.

urns, crystal stemware, painted tall chest, modern ladderback armchair, pr. wicker twin beds, loveseat, armchair & ottoman bureau, Sony HD flatscreen tv, large Italian oil painting by Manol of Neapolitan scene, octagonal teak picnic table, neoclassical coffee table, 4 Chinese Chippendale painted side chairs, bambooed bookshelf, 8 folding chairs in modern motif, houseplants & trees, long wicker coffee table, retro office furniture, square umbrella table, modern turtle canterbury, oriental modern credenza,upholstered loveseat in Chippendale style, library of fine books, oriental modern credenza, Franciscan dinner service in Desert Rose pattern, U.S. coins, 2001 Infiniti SUV w/

Outdoor Report Fishing is quite good, other than a small lull in some catfishing. Hunting Squirrel season is in for a few more days. Look for squirrels near fruit trees, raspberry patches and field edges. Fishing Rappahannock River â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tackle in Spotsylvania reported good bass action with crankbaits on the river. With the river muddy since last week, it has been tough though. Catfish are biting cutbait the best, but chicken liver or beef liver is also working. Potomac River â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Aqua Land in Southern Maryland reports that anglers are catching some rockfish, perch and catfish on nightcrawlers. Aqua Land also has reports of some croaker around the bridge on bloodworms. Try Fishbites and shrimp, too. Ponds â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The topwater bite is on,

early and late, and the plastic worm and summer pattern has taken over. Fish slower and deeper with the heat. Remember to drink plenty of water. Motts Run Reservoir reported some nice catfish action on nightcrawlers. Small bass are also hitting well on a variety of baits. Saltwater â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Croaker are hitting very consistently downriver from us on both the Potomac and Rappahannock. Squid and shrimp tend to be the best.

Captain Ryan Rogers of the Midnight Sun (804-580-0245) now is at Virginia Beach. Some dates are open for inshore spadefish (which are biting now), bluefish, macks and others. Offshore trips for tune and amberjack and dolphin are available, as well. The lower Chesapeake Bay has been good for cobia, flounder and drum. A few bluefish are in the Bay, as well as spot, croaker and puppy drum. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Mark Fike
