Colonial Beach boil water notice rescinded Linda Farneth Colonial Beach residents were given the ‘all clear’ on July 25, after being notified 3 days earlier to boil all water before ingesting. The notice was ordered by the Health Department and delivered by town staff to residents after test results from a July 8 sample tested positive for E. coli.

Although the decision to give notice lies with the Virginia Department of Health, Office of Drinking Water, some citizens feel the town should have given some sort of warning a week earlier when the town first got test results indicating E. coli was found in one of the samples.

Bennett Ragnauth, Engineering Field Director from Virginia Department of Health East Central Field Office of Drinking Water said, “It is standard protocol to check retests before determining to send a notice; you can’t act on just one.”

On July 22, residents of the town were hand-delivered notices to boil water for three minutes and let cool, before using water for food handling,

drinking, brushing teeth or any other type of ingestion.

On July 23 at 10:15 am, The Journal spoke with Ragnauth. The Town of Colonial Beach Public Works is required to take 4 routine water samples each month. The samples are then sent to the State lab for testing.

The samples are tested for Total Coliform, which Ragnauth said is only an indicator there could be other organisms present.

The State lab says that bacteriological testing requires a 24-hour incubation period upon receipt, with results being determined at the end of the 24-hour period.

If a sample tests positive for Total Coliform, then it is further tested for E. coli.

E. coli is found in the gut of warmblooded animals and can cause short-term health effects such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches or other symptoms.

Routine water samples are taken from the distribution system. If a sample tests positive for E. coli, then Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations state the locality must also test the water sources. In

the case of Colonial Beach, that involves three wells that provide all the water for the town. All three wells tested negative for any indicators (Total Coliform).

Timeline of testing: Tuesday, July 8- The Town of Colonial Beach sent four routine samples of drinking water to the State lab.

Sunday, July 13- Results from the July 8 samples were made available to the Office of Drinking Water (after business hours).

Results: Two samples tested positive for Total Coliform, and two samples were clean.

The two samples that tested positive for Total Coliform were tested for E. coli. One came back positive, and the other one negative.

Monday, July 14- The Office of Drinking Water contacted Public Works in the Town of Colonial Beach with test results.

Tuesday, July 15- Six repeat samples were collected from the town’s water supply and sent to the State lab.

Friday, July 18- The July 15 sam-

Public angered over timing of water contamination notice Linda Farneth Residents of the Town of Colonial Beach seemed more upset over the lack of timely notification of E. coli contamination found in the town’s drinking water supply than the steps they had to take to guard against becoming ill.

At the July 24 Town Council meeting, many residents voiced their upset that the town did not give residents notice after the first test results came back positive for E. coli. This frustration was compounded by the fact that the council did not have any updates or an official statement prepared to educate the public on the events that transpired leading up to the boil water notice issued.

All council members were in agreement that they had not been notified any sooner than July 22, when notices were handed out to the public. Some council members felt that a notice should have been prepared for the July 24 meeting and were upset that they were not informed of the full details of the schedule of sampling and test results released to Public Works.

First, Councilwoman Wanda Goforth informed the public of the instant alert system, Emergency Communications Network (ECN), which notified the public on July 22. Town Clerk Kathy Flanagan said that in addition, the town also uses email

groups and utilizes staff to give doorto-door notices, as well as announcing on Metrocast Channel 8.

Councilwoman Linda Brubaker asked if the council was going to speak about the elephant in the room (the water crisis). Mayor Ham said, “We have given out all the information we have.”

Councilman Gary Seeber said, “I think we should make a comment about what is going on.”

Seeber said, “I think a lot of people in town think we found out about the problem on the eighth of July; that we waited for two or three weeks to tell everybody else. That’s not the case.”

Seeber went on to explain that the town routinely goes around and collects samples from house spigots.

The town sends the samples to the State lab for testing. Seeber said, “We didn’t know about it until the day the notices went out.”Seeber downplayed the water contamination, stating that he drank tap water after the notices were given out, but said he was not suggesting residents drink the water until the Health Department gave the ‘all clear’, which came the following afternoon on Friday, July 25.

Councilman Jim Chiarello commented, “Sometimes things don’t happen in the frequency that makes us more attentive to the situation.

Virginia Department of Health will always lean on the side of caution.”

ples’ results were available to the Office of Drinking Water at 5:35 pm.

Results for July 15 samples: Two tested positive for Total Coliform; both were retested for E. coli, but both came back clean (negative for E. coli).

The other four samples were clean.

The original test site that was found positive for E. coli came back negative for any contamination, as did the other three samples from the July 15 collections.

Both the July 13 and 18 results were reviewed by the Office of Drinking Water. The Office determined that a notice to residents should be issued.

Ragnauth stated that to issue a notice from just one result from the July 8 samples would have been inappropriate. Ragnauth said, “It is standard protocol to check retests before determining to send a notice; you can’t act on just one.”

Monday, July 21- The Office of Drinking Water notified the town of the July 15 samples’ test results late in the day on July 21, at which time they also issued the notice to the

public. The Westmoreland County Health Department was instructed to notify all restaurants and businesses that serve water to the public, and the town was charged with notifying its citizens.

According to CB Public Works Director Rob Murphy, on July 21, he had not received an official boil water notice during regular business hours. The email notice to issue a boil water notice came to Murphy’s email at 5:35 pm, after he had left the office. He read the email early the following morning around 7:00 am, at which time Murphy started action to ensure notices were being delivered and continued with the ongoing chlorination and flushing.

Tuesday, July 22- Town staff hand-delivered notices to residents, warning of the contamination and instructing residents to boil water for three minutes prior to ingesting.

They posted the notice on the town’s website and broadcast the warning over their emergency notification system. The town also stepped up efforts already in progress to flush

pipes, increase chlorination, increase field disinfection testing, and taking additional follow-up/special and routine samples.

The town collected seven samples on July 23, and all came back clean; negative for Total Coliform. The town received notification of these results on Friday, July 25. In turn, residents were notified that the boil water notice had been rescinded.

Ragnauth thinks the town has shown due diligence in the matter. However, the town could have voluntarily provided information and cautions to residents, but it was not a directive of the Office of Drinking Water.

Test results show the contamination was not from the wells, the source of the town’s drinking water. The contamination was in the distribution system, meaning the water pipes.

There are possibilities that the samples could have been improperly collected, but the Office of Drinking Water does not make that determination; it enforces rules assuming tests are taken properly to err on the side of caution.

Lovely Ladies of the Fair

“Virginia Department of Health will always lean on the side of caution.”

Councilman Jim Chiarello

Goforth told the audience she reads her email immediately. She said she was notified at 1:00 pm on Friday, returned home at 3:30 pm, and she saw Public Works staff handing out notices.

“To assume we knew it, you’re absolutely wrong. We would never keep that information from the public.”

Brubaker reiterated that the council was not notified of the results for the July 8 sample, and that all the town was aware of, was that another sample was needed.

Brubaker clarified with Town Manager Val Foulds, “For the record, as a town, we did not know on the 13th. ” Citizen Steve Cirbee suggested that the town invite a professional from the Health Department Office of drinking water to clarify policy and verify the test results and dates. Council agreed and plans to invite someone to speak on the matter at a future meeting.

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

Does Gillespie have a chance against Warner?

Is Mark Warner vulnerable this year? Most political observers assume that he’s not, but that doesn’t mean that this fall’s contest between Warner and his Republican opponent, Ed Gillespie, isn’t going to be lively. Warner clearly, at this point, has a massive advantage going into the election.

According to a Washington Post poll, he leads Gillespie by 56% to 37%.

That’s David S. Kerr an almost insurmountable edge. However, off-year elections, when voter turnout is low and often anti-administration feeling at its highest, have had their share of surprise results.

Warner’s position is enviable, but that doesn’t mean he’s worry free.

One concern is his favorability rating. It’s not what it used to be. When he left the governor’s mansion in 2006, his approval rating was more than 70%. People liked his moderate image and his seeming ability

to work with both Republicans and Democrats. However, and this was probably inevitable, as a U.S. Senator, it has been harder to avoid the negatives, whether justified or not, that go with a being a Member of Congress. Congress’ approval rating is about 7%. That’s slightly lower than the number of people who support a communist revolution. So, with that kind of dissatisfaction, even someone as popular as Warner is liable to suffer guilt by association. Over the past eighteen months, his favorable rating has gone from 58% to 51%. The conventional wisdom is that as long as your favorable rating stays above 50%, you’re in good shape. But, that 1% margin is kind of slim.

Warner also faces the problem of being a national Democrat. That doesn’t hurt in a Presidential year, particularly the last two, when the Commonwealth went decidedly for President Obama. But, as was shown in 2010, a lot of those voters that helped Obama didn’t come out to support Democratic Congressional candidates two years later. Republicans are hoping and planning their media campaign around tying Warner to Obama. They want to dissociate him from the moderate, even

independent image many voters have of him, crafting him, instead, as being foursquare in support of the President and in particular, Obamacare.

Surprisingly, however, Ed Gillespie isn’t running as hard a hitting campaign as many expected. And while trying to stay out of the culture wars, lest he be branded a fringe candidate, he is nonetheless making an appeal to social conservatives. He needs their help. He made it a point to express his dismay with the recent court ruling, which deemed Virginia’s laws on same-sex marriage unconstitutional.

But, that said, there isn’t much in his rhetoric to fire the conservative base.

When it comes to money, while Warner has outraised Gillespie, the GOP candidate has still managed to put together a sizable sum, and with his many national connections, getting more probably won’t be that difficult. That will buy lots of airtime all over the state, which will be handy, but so far, just what his message is, and how he is going to persuade voters to vote for him and not Warner, isn’t as clear at this point as many of his supporters had hoped.

There is one thing to remember

I.M.H.O.

Letters to the Editor Dear Editor: I frequently read Mr. David S. Kerr’s “Virginia Viewpoints” published in your Opinion page. Generally, Mr. Kerr writes reasonable opinions on a wide variety of subjects. However, when I read his piece “The Impeachment game” in your July 9, 2014 issue, I was extremely disappointed in the shallowness of his opinion. I do not see impeachment as a “game”. Essentially, he contends that impeachment of President Obama has no merit.

Let us look at the big picture, not the narrow lawsuit being contemplated by the House Republicans.

Benghazi: President Obama did nothing to protect the lives or defend the Ambassador and three other Americans murdered, tortured and bodies desecrated at the U. S. Embassy in Libya. In fact, President Obama was nowhere to be found during the assault and murders, though it has been determined that he was not in the Situation Room. Had I, as Commanding Officer of a military unit, been as negligent and derelict in my duty by failing to defend the life of even one person under my command, I would have been court martialed, found guilty and imprisoned.

There is no doubt! Make no mistake.

Obama was the Commanding Officer of these murdered individuals. Four Americans murdered on “American soil”, and nothing done to protect them, and still scarcely anything done to bring the perpetrators to justice. And the cover up of relevant facts by the President and his administration makes the impeachment of past Presidents pale in comparison. This negligence and dereliction of duty alone is reason to Impeach. But there is more.

ObamaCare: President Obama sold the government takeover of America’s health care to the American people by knowingly lying repeatedly about the benefits and costs of his plan. Are we just to accept a President who lies continuously to the American people? The so-called Affordable Care Act (ACA) has been a disaster for the country both financially and quality of health care.

During this debacle, there is no doubt that he established himself as a deceitful and untrustworthy Presi-

FYI.....

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A threejudge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond ruled that state constitutional and statutory provisions barring gay marriage and denying recognition of such unions performed in other states violate the U.S. Constitution. The Virginia gay marriage case is one of several that could go to the U.S. Supreme Court.

It was not immediately clear if or when the state would need to begin issuing marriage licenses to samesex couples.

Virginia’s same-sex marriage bans “impermissibly infringe on its citizens’ fundamental right to marry,” Judge Henry F. Floyd wrote in the court’s opinion.

dent. He acts unilaterally and unconstitutionally to change, enforce, and ignore ACA laws at his discretion, circumventing Congress.

Flood of Illegals into our Country: President Obama’s own policies and his failure to secure the borders, places this Country in grave danger. He has failed to carry out his primary duty as President by protecting the American people. His unconstitutional and individual act of implementing the Dream Act granted amnesty to thousands of illegals. His implied open invitation to all foreign countries to come to America, and his failure to enforce standing immigration laws has put the Country at great risk from terrorists and diseases coming across undetected and undocumented.

IRS, EPA, and Department of Justice: President Obama has allowed the most intrusive departments to run roughshod over the American people. He has allowed the IRS to target conservative organizations and individuals, and the EPA to enact “laws” for which there is little justification or supporting evidence.

Many of the EPA actions are based on fraudulent science, political agenda and false environmental data.

And, the Department of Justice is no more than an Obama protection agency. The Attorney General has been allowed to ignore many laws implemented to protect American citizens, and selectively enforce laws which are beneficial to the Administration’s agenda.

With all of this being said, President Obama does absolutely nothing to correct the unjust, damaging and costly actions of any of these Departments. In fact, he encourages their continued rogue activities.

Conclusion: President Obama’s policies have been and continue to be extremely destructive to America, its citizens, its allies and government as a Democratic Republic under the Constitution of the United States. No “high crimes and misdemeanors”?

Just considering the few examples described above, there is more than enough evidence to impeach President Obama.

(Note: the letter below was received at the Journal via email, after the paper went to print last week) Dear Editor: I am a long-time Colonial Beach resident who received the drinking water notification today.

I am disturbed that it has taken the Town 14 days to inform persons of the probable health hazard.

I feel those individuals that are in the “contained area” of contamination should be informed as they are at the greatest risk of developing health issues.

If it takes the current lab 14 days to report bad results, then the Town should seriously consider contracting with a new lab, or start performing in-house testing as a frontline indicator of possible issues.

There are many individuals in this town that have been, and will be, affected by this drinking water issue.

This may explain the issues I have been having in the last 8 days.

The leaders of this town should be more responsible to their residents and in a case like this, offer bottled water to those in the affected area immediately. This would give them needed resources to drink, make baby formula and also, and very importantly, provide fresh water for their pets.

This is about public service and the drinking water is a musthave resource for everyone in this town.

The

about Virginia. While many southern states keep their Senators for decades, mostly out of deference to their seniority, Virginia can be fickle.

Chuck Robb lost his seat in 2000, and George Allen was defeated in 2006. And if the GOP conservative base had its way, the esteemed John Warner would have been dumped in the 1996 Primary. Fortunately, a number of Democrats, including myself, went out and voted for him.

But the bottom line is that we don’t mind voting against the incumbent.

Both candidates this year are well aware of this.

One factor in this race will be demographics. Mark Warner, while still popular in a number of generally Republican areas, nonetheless will, like all Democrats, be counting on a big vote in Northern Virginia.

The most recent opinion survey shows him with at least 63% of the vote in the region. If he can hold that and get people out to vote in sufficient numbers, and that’s the challenge, winning in the fall won’t be that hard. But, Gillespie, while struggling, might yet find his stride, and this race, currently looking like a walk away for Warner, might start to get interesting.

Journal

This has been a strange couple of weeks. Rumors, slams, apologies, explanations, on and on.

I performed a wedding in Chesapeake MD a couple of Saturdays ago. It was beautiful. I’d forgotten how the sounds of the water at the beach can refill one’s soul. And, after the weeks I’ve had, my soul definitely needed refilling.

There must be something to the idea of unplugging from our electronics and taking a break.

On one hand I love social media.

Who would have thought I could talk face to face with my daughters in the Netherlands? Or, shoot a text to my son so I don’t disturb his dinner?

But, on the other hand, the new social media can be a negative factor. I’ve never been one to start a fight, I’d rather go get a beer and talk about the problem, but with the new technology, people can get bashed without a sound being made. Look how many more people can see the bashing? Just today I had to “block” someone from a Facebook page I work with. Why? Inappropriate comments. Not something against my opinion (free speech you know) but a really inappropriate comment.

I won’t hide my opinions, but I’ll try to be nice in how I say something. And, I will read or listen to what’s said to me.

The sounds I heard at the beach were pure bliss. Put down the electronics. Listen. Really listen.

How to streamline grocery shopping Grocery shopping is a part of life, and whether trips to the local supermarket are a daily, weekly or monthly occurrence, such excursions can be time-consuming.

Data from the American Time Use Survey, which measures how much time people spend shopping among other things, indicates that people have spent less time shopping since the recession began in 2008, and many people might want to continue this trend of spending less time at the store even as their finances recover.

The following are some simple strategies for those who want to do just that.

Embrace e-commerce offerings.

Grocery stores have joined the ranks of other retailers in making it easy for customers to shop for food online. Individuals can browse for sales, shop according to the weekly circular and create lists that make it easier for them to track their purchases.

Another change in how we shop for groceries concerns how the food we purchase makes it into our refrigerators and pantries. Many grocery chains now offer delivery service, and some even have personal shopping services in which customers fill out their orders online, and a store employee gathers all of the groceries. The customer then arrives to pick up and pay for their groceries at a predetermined time. Utilizing such services can curb impulse buys and drastically reduce the time shoppers spend in stores.

Make a list Making a list before heading to the store remains one of the biggest time savers when shopping for groceries.

A list helps shoppers cut back on the time they spend wandering around a store and wondering what they do or don’t need. Shoppers can even take

If fresh food is all you need, stick to the perimeter of the store, where produce, meats and dairy products are typically stored. things one step further by coordinating their list to a store’s layout, which reduces the likelihood that shoppers will make several trips down the same aisle.

Bring only the coupons you are likely to use.

Instead of toting along your entire coupon portfolio, bring only those coupons you plan to use.

This allows you to get in and out of the store without rifling through circulars or coupon organizers.

Shop the perimeter of the store.

Shoppers interested in fresh foods should concentrate their shopping efforts on the perimeter of the store. This is typically where fresh produce, meats, poultry, bakery items, and dairy products are kept. Packaged, processed foods are usually kept in the interior aisles.

Visit during off-peak hours Avoid stores on the first day of a sale, when your fellow shoppers

will be eager to stock up. In addition, try to avoid shopping on the first or last day of the month, when paychecks or government benefit checks arrive. Shopping when school lets out in the afternoon is another busy time of day at many grocery stores. If you truly want to save time, shop late in the evening or in the early morning when stores are less hectic and checkout lines won’t be as long.

Go it alone.

Some shoppers may benefit by flying solo when grocery shopping.

It’s often quicker to move through a store when you are on your own.

Scan as you go.

Some stores allow shoppers to scan their groceries as they put them in their carts. The scan gun is linked to their shopping rewards card.

When shoppers are ready to go, the shopper then scans a bar code and the entire purchase history gets sent to the register for check-out.

This concept cuts down on the time shoppers spend in line.

Earlier this month our family made a two-week trip to France.

Despite poor airline service we had a wonderful jaunt that included several days in Normandy.

While there we waded out in the water at Omaha Beach, and climbed to the top of Mont Saint-Michel, the island monastery off the Norman coast.

Henry Lane We arrived at Hull the seaside village of Honfleur on a Sunday afternoon while the traders had set up their weekly flea market. The town’s great attraction is the large wooden church of Saint Catherine, which dates from the sixteenth century, making it the largest surviving French Gothic wooden church from the late medieval period.

In the square in front of the church dozens of vendors ply their wares both to tourists and to natives alike.

As with most flea markets the merchandise covered the waterfront, to coin an appropriate expression.

From cheap jewelry to good antiques, the scene offered something for everybody.

Most surprising was the quality of much of the furniture. Many

fine nineteenth-century pieces were selling for what by our standards I should term low prices. Good walnut cabinets were available for under 100 Euros, and an abundance of antique French stoneware crocks and jugs were selling for a third of what they could bring in Virginia.

Honfleur is also the birthplace of the composer, Eric Satie, and his home is open to the public. The city suffered, as did all of Normandy, from the aftermath of the invasion of June 6, 1944, but more of its core survived than did the centers of many other similar towns and cities. The harbor is one of the most beautiful in Normandy, and the streets, although in places crowded, were not overwhelmed with tourists.

A trip to Normandy with a stop in Honfleur on a Sunday afternoon

could be the ideal place for antiqueminded tourists as well as well as savvy collectors and dealers.

Explore the best of carnival foods Summer is a time of year when empty parking lots or fields get transformed into magical places of wonder. When the carnival comes to town, once barren spaces are filled with blinking lights and the hum of mechanical rides that treat thrill seekers to a whirling dervish of excitement. Cheers, jeers and game attendants can be heard, and the savory aroma of fried delights wafts in the breeze.

Traveling fairs and carnivals are hallmarks of late spring and summer. Comprised of vendors, games of chance, amusement rides, and more, these events attract scores of spectators. Historians believe the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair served as a catalyst for the creation of traveling carnivals. After the World’s Fair closed, traveling carnival companies began to tour the United States and abroad. The idea of mobile carnivals may have also been made trendy by the popularity of amusement areas like Coney Island and Atlantic City.

Although the rides and attractions certainly entice their share of carnival visitors, for many the unique culinary offerings available at fairs and carnivals are a big attraction as well.

At carnivals, many people indulge in foods that are best enjoyed sparingly, such as fried foods, sticky sweets and meats on a stick. The following are some of the more popular fair foods.

Cotton candy Cotton candy is a treat many people only eat at carnivals or fairs. A form of spun sugar mixed with air to produce a large volume of sticky sweet cotton, cotton candy was invented by dentist William Morrison and confectioner John C. Wharton in 1897.

It was subsequently introduced to the public at the 1904 World’s Fair as “Fairy Floss.” Automatic cotton candy machines help make cotton candy available to market at carnivals and fairs around the world. Eat it quickly because cotton candy melts and gets

Certain foods are indulgent staples of fair and carnival season. messy under the hot sun.

Corn dogs Foods served on sticks, including corn dogs, are a staple of carnivals because of their portability. Corn dogs are formed by dipping a hot dog into a cornmeal batter and frying it.

Many credit Carl and Neil Fletcher with the first “corny dog,” served at the State Fair of Texas in 1942. Those who enjoy hot dogs and the crunch of an outer coating flock to concession stands for these salty delights.

Funnel cakes What would a carnival be without some variation of fried dough?

From Spanish churros to Italian zeppoles to regular doughnuts, there is something to be said about sweetened, chewy dough fried to form a crunchy outer shell. When dusted with powdered sugar, the confection is complete. Funnel cakes are a type of fried dough regularly sold at fairs across North America. Although the history of funnel cakes is debatable, popular opinion states they were made popular by German immi-

grants in Pennsylvania. Funnel cakes were once formed by pouring batter through a funnel into a hot pan of oil. Now it is usually done by pouring batter from a pitcher or through an automatic machine.

Kettle corn Although popcorn is a popular fair food, so is its sweetened cousin, kettle corn. Kettle corn was first introduced in the early 1700s by European immigrant farmers. Corn was popped in large cast-iron pots filled with lard rendered from farm hogs.

The corn popped quite quickly in the kettles and sweeteners like sugar or honey were added to the popped corn. Modern kettle corn is made in much the same way, using corn, oil, sugar, and salt. Use of sugar produces a sweet crust on the popping corn.

Constant stirring is required, or the sugar will burn in the kettle.

Carnivals, street fairs and feasts are popular attractions when the weather warms up. They’re heralded not only for their rides and games of chance but also for their indulgent foods.

Today is Part 2 of a 2-part series.

The original Hebrew written text was a picture language--much like the Egyptian hieroglyphics. When Moses wrote the Torah (the first five books of the Bible), he used this picture language.

Each letter of the Hebrew alphabet is a picture with meaning. When we put these letters together, they form a word, but they also form a story within the word! Proverbs 25:2 tells us, “The honour of God is to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.”

(Young’s Literal Translation) This is exactly what God has done with His language!

Last month, we saw how satan, the adversary, destroys by twisting life. Here is something to consider about this concept. The root word for “satan” (#H7853) means to attack or accuse! This is key to today’s word.

Today’s Hebrew word is “lashon” — meaning “tongue”. Yes, that member of our body we have so much trouble controlling! Take the time to read James 3:1-12, paying

close attention to verse 10, “Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.” (NKJV).

What James was writing about are the Hebrew concepts of “lashon ha’ra” (evil tongue) and “lashon tov” (good tongue).

With this in mind, let’s look at today’s word. Lashon is spelled: “lamed”, “sheen”, “vav”, “nun”. Putting this together, we see that the tongue is the authority (lamed) that either destroys (sheen) or secures (vav) life (nun)! We either speak blessings or curses about other people! Either lashon ha’ra, or lashon tov! Do you see why this is connected to satan? Satan is the accuser. When we speak curses, we are on the accuser’s side! Next time you decide to “only tell the truth” about someone, ask yourself if it is a blessing or curse!

Blessings & Shalom!

Turner is W&L High School Principal Richard Leggitt The former principal of Westmoreland County’s Washington District Elementary School will be returning to the county to become the new principal of Washington and Lee High School. Dashan Turner will succeed Andrea Roane, who was terminated in June after being arrested for drunk driving in February.

Turner is a popular and highly regarded educator who has been serving as Director of Schools for the school system in Petersburg, VA. His appointment as W&L’s new principal was announced by the Westmoreland County School Board last week.

“As a resident and parent of children that currently attend Westmoreland County Schools, it gives me great pleasure to return,” said Turner. “I have gained a lot of experience while away that will serve the students and the community well, as we continue to make W&L a better school.”

“I have made the Northern Neck

my home and a part of my personal fabric for 11 years,” Turner said. “We wanted our daughters to remain in Westmoreland Schools, because having worked here for so many years, I have personally witnessed so many children in this district receive an education of the highest quality. I could not imagine educating my own children anywhere else.”

Turner began his career as a physical education teacher at W&L. He also helped coach football, basketball and track. He then served as an assistant principal at Montross Middle School and then was promoted to principal for Washington District Elementary.

“As a parent of children that currently attend and will attend schools within the division, it gives me great pleasure to lead the school that serves as the culmination of hard work, perseverance and commitment,” Turner said.

In Petersburg, Turner’s position gave him supervisory responsibilities for nine schools in the Petersburg School System. Prior to Petersburg,

Turner served as Director of Student Services for the Essex County School System in Tappahannock. Turner is a graduate of Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA, and has a Masters in Education from American Intercontinental University in Chicago.

The Westmoreland County School Board was the object of angry and bitter criticism from faculty, parents and students after they failed to discipline Roane in the three months following her DUI arrest. They finally voted in June not to renew her contract, and Roane then submitted a formal letter of resignation and was immediately relieved of her duties.

Roane’s car skidded off the road just before midnight at an intersection east of Montross in a February snowstorm. After a roadside sobriety test, she was taken to the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw, where she was held overnight. Last month, she entered a plea of guilty to the drunk driving charge and was fined and placed on probation.

Montross council productive July meeting Linda Farneth On July 22, Montross Town Council quickly took care of electing officers for the new fiscal year. R. David O’Dell, Jr. will remain Mayor, and Joseph P. King remains the Vice Mayor.

While reviewing the financial reports for the month of June and the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, Councilman Clinton A. Watson, Jr. noted the town’s charges for Verizon Internet and posed the possibility of getting Internet service from MetroCast instead.

Watson said that he has had some personal difficulties getting in touch with Verizon to solve his recent connection problems. Watson is exploring the option of switching to MetroCast for his personal Internet usage and felt it was worth looking into for the town.

Switch Town’s Internet provider?

Town Manager Brenda Reamy said

although Verizon has not made FIOS available in the area, she felt the town should stay with Verizon for the time being. She feels that there are still issues with MetroCast that might cause problems for the town. Reamy said her concern was that since the town recently signed the contract with MetroCast, she doesn’t feel the company has their service established to its fullest potential.

Larry Wheaton said it would be worth looking into, but recognized the years of service the town has had from Verizon, and that the staff is used to working with them.

Watson clarified that he is not suggesting a switch right away, but to keep the option open. “Just keep it on the back burner and see what is coming down the pike.”

MetroCast’s relationship with Montross At the June Town Council meeting, Montross entered into a 15-year franchise agreement with MetroCast to supply cable service to citizens

within the town limits of Montross.

MetroCast installed a free connection for cable TV to the town.

Town Council is exploring using the free cable connection for civic and community group training seminars at Town Hall. The council has bought a large screen TV and is planning to buy a separate DVD player.

Reamy will have cost estimates at the next meeting in August.

Maintenance After a month of no water breaks in June, July brought three breaks to service lines in Montross. Reamy said two breaks had been fixed at the time of the meeting, and the third is still being worked on.

Disposition of Street lamps Due to revitalization grant money, some street lamps from around town will be replaced. Brenda Reamy discussed the disposition of the old lamps. The council decided to try posting them on Ebay, with the recipient picking up the lamps.

King George “Fair Ladies” (l - r) Karson Buckle, Miss Fredericksburg Fair 2014 Amanda Short, Second Runner Up Samantha Roberts, and Cameron Pelletier take center stage after the pageant.

Our fair ladies: KG resident crowned Miss Fredericksburg Fair Marty van Duyne News Net News FREDERICKSBURG — Six young ladies from the local area graced the Fairway Stage at this year’s Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair pageants.

King George resident Amanda Short, 17, was crowned Miss Fredericksburg Fair in the Friday evening pageant in a field of 11 participants.

Short is a freshman at the University of Mary Washington, majoring in Pre-law with a concentration in Philosophy.

She has been competing in pageants for about four years, earning her first title as Miss King George Fall Festival 2011.

Short was crowned Miss Northern Virginia's Outstanding Teen 2013 and Miss Teen Spotsylvania Regency 2013.

She also competed in the 2012 Miss Teen Fredericksburg Fair.

“I entered the Miss Fredericksburg Fair pageant because I remembered it being such a fun pageant, and this year I would finally get to compete as a Miss,” said Short.

The dark haired beauty also felt the benefits were an opportunity

she could not pass up.

“The Miss Fredericksburg Fair pageant offered a great experience, scholarship money, and a chance to move on to Miss Virginia Association of Fairs,” said Short.

Samantha Roberts, 17, took Second Runner Up in the Miss Fredericksburg Fair pageant.

The rising senior at King George High has been participating in pageants for about two years and has consistently ranked in the top five.

King George High rising senior Cameron Pelletier, 17, and Germanna Community College student Karson Buckle also competed in the pageant.

The four competed in a field of 11 participants for the title of Miss Fredericksburg Fair.

Monday evening two area young ladies competed for the title of Miss Teen Fredericksburg Fair.

This was the first Fredericksburg Fair pageant in which King George High rising junior Alexis Sheehan competed.

Sheehan, 15, competed in her first pageant last year in the King George Fall Festival, where she finished as first runner up.

Katelyn Reamy of Montross is a novice on the pageant circuit, and Miss Teen Fredericksburg Fair is the first pageant in which she has ever competed.

The 16-year-old attends Washington and Lee High School.

Abigail Farley took the title of Miss Teen Fredericksburg 2014.

King George resident Rachel Courtney held the title in 2013 but is currently on a mission trip to Peru.

Miss Fredericksburg Fair 2013 Kelsey Caudill crowned Farley and also read Courtney’s farewell speech.

Pageant entrants must complete a written application with details about her education, hobbies and goals.

Northern Neck Rivermen dismantle Maryland Stags fort by every player on the team. The win was complimented by our young players who are making huge contributions to Rivermen our efforts.”

In the first six minutes of the game, the RiverStags men posted 14 points on the scoreboard. Walt Covington connected with Tim Short for an 11-yard touchdown, which was later followed by a Mike Howard 75-yard punt return for a touchdown. Both of the Rivermen scores were followed by extra points, courtesy of Barrett Hollingsworth.

Later in the second quarter, the Stags cut the Rivermen lead with two touchdowns. However, the Stags failed in their attempt to tie the game with extra point conversions, leaving a two-point Rivermen deficit to mull over during an hourlong storm delay that was followed by halftime.

In the second half, the Rivermen gridiron machine exploded with 56

The Northern Neck Rivermen defense has dominated opposing offenses throughout the season.

Leonard Banks Sports editor Last week, in Cumberland, Md., the Northern Neck Rivermen absorbed a huge road win as they obliterated the Western Maryland Stags,

70-20. Whether it was on defense or offense, the Rivermen, now 4-0, chewed up the Stags in every aspect of the game of football.

Thrilled with his team’s efforts, Rivermen head coach Dennis Cornwell said, “We had a lot of great ef-

points. Mike Howard got the ball rolling with a one-yard touchdown run (20-12). Antonio Fernanders added fuel to the Rivermen’s fire with a six-yard touchdown (27-12).

The Rivermen defense, led by Sayon Lembrick, added two quarterback sacks and a blocked punt. Laslow Pickett and Devonte Reynolds combined for four solo tackles and eight assists, as they assaulted Stag ball carriers.

In the latter part of the third quarter, Will Hoover connected with Bryan Brooks for a 46-yard touchdown, giving the visitors from the Northern Neck an insurmountable 34-12 lead.

Although the Stags managed to score a touchdown in the fourth quarter, the Rivermen machine continued to steamroll over their hosts.

King George High School alumni Alon Clipper made his presence felt with an 11-yard pass reception from Will Hoover. Clipper scored again in the final minutes of the game with another touchdown pass reception (26-yards) from Hoover, completing

the Rivermen scoring (70-20). Clipper’s touchdown was followed by an Adeola Ogunwenno two-point conversion.

Other notable Rivermen scores included: Fernanders’ 17-yard touchdown run (46-20); Raheem White’s (former KGHS football standout) 25yard interception touchdown return, followed by a Fernanders two-point conversion; and Josh Steele’s 10-yard touchdown pass from Hoover. White finished the game with two interceptions.

Due to a forfeit from the Virginia Silverbacks, the Rivermen will have a rare chance to rest up for their upcoming showdown with the defending Mason Dixon Football League

Champions, Virginia Crusaders. The Crusaders and Rivermen have identical 4-0 records. Last season, after attaining a 10-0 record, the Rivermen suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Arbutus Big Red, who later lost to the Crusaders in the championship game.

All gate and concession proceeds from the Aug. 9 game vs. the Crusaders will benefit Special Olympics.

“We still have a bad taste in our mouth about what happened last year,” Cornwell said. “We felt we let one slip away on us—not being able to get to the championship. However, at this point, you have two undefeated teams, and it’s going to be a classic battle.”

Washington & Lee football begins with new optimism

Richard Leggitt

W&L head football coach Todd Jones and junior varsity head coach Ricky Fones confer on the upcoming VHSL football season.

Richard Leggitt The Washington Redskins are not the only Virginia football team beginning training with a new coach and a new optimism. Washington and Lee’s Eagles, who will have their first practice Thursday, are hitting the weight room with spirit and determination under the leadership of new coach Todd Jones.

“The weight room is rocking,” said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis. “The kids have bought in, they are pumped and working hard.”

Hopes for the season were boosted when W&L hired legendary Northern Neck District Coach Todd Jones to head its varsity football program.

Jones built the Essex Trojans into a powerhouse during his 14 years of coaching there including a 2009 state championship and 10 Northern Neck District championships.

Jones’ state championship team went 14 and 0 and defeated Radford 30 to 0 to win the state title. He was voted Virginia High School Coach of the Year in 20009 and he has coached in the state East-West all star game twice.

Coach Jones will inherit a football with solid prospects. Almost two dozen lettermen return from a team that went 7-5 last year and went into

the third round of the 1A-East state playoffs. This year’s W&L team will add even more talent from a 2013 W&L junior varsity team that only lost one game.

Jones said he will run his quick hitting, fast-paced, high octane offense.

“We want to play fast and fearless,” he said. He will be helped in that effort by returning quarterback Treshaun

Brown who passed for 1,903 yards and 21 touchdowns as a junior, running back D.J. Weldon who rushed for 961 yards and seven touchdowns as a sophomore and receiver Jarret Sumiel who caught 45 passes and gained 639 yards his sophomore season.

On defense, the Eagles return 205pound Gabe Loesel and 230-pound Markeyse Thompson, both senior defensive linemen who made the all conference team as juniors last year.”

“They have some pretty good talent at all positions,” said Lewis. “If they catch fire, who knows how far they can go.”

Hoping to help spark that fire will be a number of quality players from last year’s one loss JV team including Cullen Bell, a junior quarterback, Mekhi Lee, a sophomore guard, Nicky Fones, a sophomore center, Joseph Fulcher, a junior wide receiver and Kewan Dameron, a junior running back and defensive back.

JV Coach Ricky Fones, who will also be an assistant coach with the varsity, said the 2013 W&L JV team was one of his best in nine years at W&L. “They are excited about play-

ing for Coach Jones. He’s brought a lot of energy and they have been working hard to get better.”

Jones, 41, said, “I just like the attitude of these kids. They are dealing with a new system and a new coach, but they are working hard.” The hard work will be a necessity if the 1A Eagles are going to get their season off to a winning start: W&L opens Aug. 28th at King George against the always tough 4A Foxes.

Coach Jones was hired in June to succeed Antron Yates at W&L. Jones will retain several of Yates assistants including defensive coordinator Edgar Carey. And, he has added his former longtime receivers/defensive line coach from his victorious days at Essex, Gayle Belfield.

“I ask these kids, ‘Do you have any clue of the caliber of coach you are getting?’” Lewis said. “He is here every day and they are seeing how hard he works. They are getting the picture and they are buying in.” Lewis is a good person to judge Jones work and his capabilities. As W&L’s head football coach for 13 years, he and Jones faced each other often when

“I just like the attitude of these kids. They are dealing with a new system and a new coach, but they are working hard.”

Todd Jones

Lewis was leading W&L 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.”

Area kids prepare for football season at annual King George Parks & Recreation camp Leonard Banks Sports editor

Leonard Banks

With the VHSL football season just a weeks away, King George High School quarterback Zach Johnson practices his passing skills at the Middle and High School Football Camp, held at KGHS.

King George High School head football coach Jeff Smith hopes to have an advantage this fall. With the season about to unfold on Aug. 4, coaches throughout the entire Fredericksburg area are benefiting from every camp, clinic and workout session they can get their hands on.

Recently, over 40 aspiring and veteran players participated in the annual Middle and High School Football Camp, held at KGHS. With football fundamentals and conditioning as the primary focus, players participated in a series of circuit drills.

Whether Smith is able to find a diamond in the rough to replace gridiron heroes such as Jordi Estes or Corey Henderson, there will be opportunities for underclassmen to step up their game for that precious starting position. The bottom line is it’s going to be every man for himself, come game time.

“Most of my juniors and rising seniors that played for me last year understand my expectations,” Smith said. “Fortunately, they are falling in line.”

During camp activities, standout football and track & field star, Jacolby White understands of the significance of leading by example. “I think the camp has gone well, and I know it will help us out when the season starts.”

With an intense atmosphere, surrounded by seven coaches, players were challenged with opportunities to participate in position drills outside their normal athletic box.

“Even if they had never played football before, we encourage everyone to sign up,” Smith said. “The camp provides our program a chance to get a step ahead of the competition. From passing drills to hand and foot coordination, the camp shows the individual athlete a number of skill sets that will be useful during a football tryout.”

“Most of my juniors and rising seniors that played for me last year understand my expectations. Fortunately, they are falling in line.”

Jeff Smith

Although the camp included a lot of new football schemes, the coaches patiently took their time to show athletes the proper mechanics of football.

After stretching exercises, players are given an option to take part in a variety of drills. “I tell the kids to go where you would like to play, and by the end of the camp, kids will have a better understanding of the game of football,” Smith said.

In terms of weight-conditioning activities, the weight room has become the mega center of progress.

“The current group of players rep-

resent the largest group of lifters in years,” Smith said. “While the program is not mandatory, we encourage kids to be there. It’s been a blessing, since they are working together towards a common goal, which is to win.”

Hopyard Hammerheads team boasts five triple winners Leonard Banks Sports editor In spite of ending its regular dual meet season without a win this year, the Hopyard Hammerheads swim team featured five triple winners during a meet against Spotswood, on Monday. Throughout the summer, the Hammerheads suffered a number of close losses that could have gone either way. Although the 275230 loss Spotswood was a tough pill to swallow, the Hammerheads hope to make amends in the upcoming Nationals finals, at Regency Park, on Aug. 2.

Hopyard triple winners included: Cat Wilson, girls 15-18 50meter butterfly (35.05), girls 1518 50-meter backstroke (38.78), girls 15-18 50-meter breaststroke (41.40); Jessica Miller, girls 1318 100-meter freestyle (1:05.07), girls 13-14 50-meter breaststroke (39.56), girls 13-18 100-meter IM (1:17.50); Cole Lipinski, 13-14 boys 50-meter freestyle (36.28), 13-14 boys 50-meter butterfly (44.45), 13-14 boys 50-meter backstroke (46.55); Ryan Kuberek, 1112 boys 50-meter butterfly (51.69), 11-12 boys 50-meter breaststroke (49.41), 12 & under boys 100-

meter IM (1:41.16); Bryce Kuberek, boys 12 & under 100-meter freestyle (1:27.41), boys 25-meter freestyle (17.47), boys 25-meter backstroke (21.93).

Chase Maynard completed a double win performance with victories in the 15-18 boys 50-meter freestyle, 28.09, and 15-18 boys 50-meter breaststroke, 39.01. Jacob Crocker added two double victories to a solid season of wins in the boys 11-12 50-meter freestyle, 40.00, and boys 11-12 50-meter backstroke, 48.90.

Dahlgren Sharks battle Fintastics in final regular dual meet Elizabeth Guthrie

Elizabeth Guthrie

Dahlgren Sharks Swimmers of the Week, Becca Tidwell and Kristian Henderson enjoyed a wonderful summer swim season.

The Dahlgren Sharks swam their last meet of the regular dual meet season last Monday, July 21. They hosted the Fox Point Fintastics at their King George YMCA pool, and unfortunately, lost 190-320. This has been a growing year, with the move to the YMCA, but we have seen lots of improvement both in technique and times. However, competing against much larger teams has been a rather difficult obstacle to overcome.

Our one triple winner was 13 year old Gabriela Thompson who notched first place finishes in 100 free (1:05.44), 50 free (34.27), and 50 back (35.69) (times are in meters).

First place finishes enjoyed by other Shark swimmers were: Arwen Downum (8) – 25 breast (28.53); Adriana Minero (8) - 25 free (18.90); Maria Poley (9) – 25 back (22.34); Seth Christensen (9) – 25 back (20.75); Jenna Kapp (11) – 100 free (1:08.73), 50 fly (33.31); Veronica DeClute (14) – 50 free (30.39), 100 IM (1:15.66); and Asst Coach Ricardo Bonilla-Vazquez (17) – 50 free (25.35), 50 fly (27.77).

Relay teams placing first were: Boys 8 & under freestyle (Andrew Stuart, Malachi Caballero, Ben Tidwell, Kristian Henderson) (1:37.08); Girls 9/10 freestyle (Maria Poley, Olivia McCullough, Jean Graham, Marie Macaluso) (1:18.20); and Boys 1518 freestyle (Stephen Klopp, Matt Minero, Julian Bonilla-Vazquez, Ricardo Bonilla-Vazquez) (51.38).

The Sharks and the rest of the Patriot Division teams (Fawn Lake, Fox Point, Salem Fields, Austin Ridge, and Woodlands) will compete against each other in the last meet (Finals) of the summer season, this coming Saturday, Aug. 2, at the Spotsylvania YMCA. The first meet session begins at 8:30 a.m., with the ten and under swimmers and the second session starts at noon, with swimmers ages 11 and up. swimmers of the week Our last nominee of the season for the girls’ Swimmer of the Week has been on the team for five years and, without a shadow of a doubt, is one of our hardest working swimmers.

Eleven-year old Becca Tidwell has shown time and time again that hard work and dedication are a very im-

portant part of her life. From the very first day she set foot on deck, she has always done what was asked of her without complaint or argument.

When she was a six-year trying out for the team, she was unable to complete one part of the swim test. Try as she might, she was unable to retrieve an object from the bottom of the pool. But that did not phase Becca— determined to pass she worked hard for a week, and returned to nail that part of the test and became a very strong member of our team. Becca leads her lane at practice and always leads by example.

Her consistent fast swimming has allowed her coach to age her up and help out the 13-14 girls in fly, back and breast, and her fast freestyle helps both the 11-12 and 13-14 girls’ freestyle relay teams win many of their races. It is important to note that Becca has placed third many times while aged up to swim with the individual events in the 13-14 age group, where most swimmers are three years older than her.

Becca’s top time (meters) in butterfly is 37.71 and her top time in freestyle is 37.18. That means she can swim butterfly almost as fast as

she can freestyle! That is quite an impressive feat. We are VERY proud of you, Becca!

Our boys’ swimmer of the week is eight-year old Kristian Henderson.

This is Kristian’s third year on the team and he has proven every summer how valuable a swimmer he is!

Kristian works hard at practice every day and it shows at meets.

His fast freestyle time helps the 8 and under boys A-relay freestyle and the 18 and under graduated relay teams, and always places him in the top three while swimming 25 meter freestyle. At our last meet with Fox Point, Kristian placed second in 25 freestyle (22.27), second in 25 backstroke (28.80), and fourth in 25 breaststroke (44.14). At our meet with Fawn Lake, Kristian placed second in 25 freestyle (22.93), third in 25 backstroke (30.33), and sixth in butterfly (38.97).

Kristian always does what is expected of him at practice, without complaint or argument. He is the energizer bunny of the team-- always ready and rearing to go, with a big smile on his face!

We’re proud of you, Kristian, glad you are part of our team!

Dahlgren Sharks overwhelmed by Waahoos Elizabeth Guthrie On the week of July 16, the Dahlgren Sharks took it on the chin at Woodlands Pool.

Having much fewer swimmers than the Waahoos definitely put the team at a disadvantage, as the Sharks fell, 190-313. We can still be proud of the three triple winners for the night (all times are in yards): Jenna Kapp (11) – 50 free (28.07), 50 fly (29.47), 50 breast (39.50); Gabrielle Thompson (13) – 50 free (28.01), 50 back (32.94), 100 IM (1:08.84); and Alex Poley (13) – 50 free (26.89), 50 fly (31.48), 50 breast (37.97).

Other first place finishes are as follows: Katie Poley (6) – 25 free (21.95), Arwen Downum (8) – 25 back (23.28), 25 breast (26.42); Seth Christensen (9) – 25 back (19.51); Adriana Minero (8) – 25 free (17.34); 25 fly (21.67); Veronica DeClute (13) – 100 free (59.10); Matt Macaluso Elizabeth Guthrie (14) – 50 back (33.84), Julian BonilDahlgren Sharks Swimmers of the Week, Adriana Minero and Kenneth la-Vazquez (16) – 100 free (53.32), Chan are committed to the sport of competitive swimming.

50 free (24.27); and Ricardo Bonilla-

Vazquez (17) – 50 fly (24.76), 100 IM (57.16).

First place finishes by relay teams included: Girls 8 & under 100 yard freestyle (Deborah Fairfax, Katie Poley, Arwen Downum, Adriana Minero) (1:16.57); Girls 11-12 100 yard freestyle (Becca Tidwell, Carter Wasser, Chayla Morin, Jenna Kapp) (59.44); Boys 13-14 100 yard freestyle (Eddie Tidwell, Matt Macaluso, James Treutle, Alex Poley) (55.84); and Girls 18 & under 125 yard freestyle (Adriana Minero, Marie Macaluso, Jenna Kapp, Gabrielle Thompson, Madison DeClute) (1:15.90).

The last meet of the regular dual meet season was this past Monday, July 21. This was a home meet at the KG YMCA as the Sharks hosted the Foxpoint Fintastics. A report for this meet will be in next week’s Journal. swimmers of the week Our girls’ swimmer of the week has only been on the team for three short years, but she has become a

Famed Virginia Major League Baseball catcher Foiles signs books at Colonial Beach Richard Leggitt Hank Foiles, a Virginia native who was a major league baseball all-star catcher for legendary pitchers Hoyt Wilhelm and Herb Score, will be present Thursday, July 31, at Colonial Beach’s Masonic Lodge #199 to sign copies of his book, A Pirate’s Journey.

Foiles, a Mason, will also talk with fans about his days in the major leagues in addition to signing copies of his book, which relates in detail his adventures in the Bigs. Foiles played for the Cincinnati Reds, the Cleveland Indians, the Baltimore Orioles and the Pittsburg Pirates.

A star three-sport athlete at Granby High School in Norfolk, Foiles played for the University of Virginia before signing with Cincinnati as a 23-year-old rookie in 1953. Foiles, who had a .243 batting average and a .321 on base percentage for his career, was named to the National League All-Star Team while catching for the Pirates.

“Baseball was different during my career,” said Foiles. “The business dealings, as well as the game itself, were nothing like they are today.”

Although he played for several teams before his career ended in 1964, Foiles said his fondest memories were of his days with the Pirates.

The book, an autobiography, follows his journey from the sandlots of Norfolk to his days as an all-star catcher with the Pirates. But two of the greatest pitchers he caught were working the mound for the Indians.

Foiles calls Indians pitcher Wilhelm the greatest knuckleballer of them all and also recalls his days trying to instill confidence in the talented young Indians fastball pitcher Score.

Foiles’ Thursday book signing begins at 7 p.m. at the CB Masonic Lodge, located at 500 Washington Ave. Baseball fans and those who want to know more about Foiles can get further information at hankfoiles. com.

dominant force in both freestyle and butterfly for the 8 and under age group Eight-year old Adriana Minero has consistently placed first in both of these events for the past three meets and placed 2nd or third in breaststroke in each of these meets. Adriana’s best time in 25 meter freestyle is 19.03 and her best time in fly, so far, is 22.64 (times are in meters). Her fast freestyle has been an absolute asset to the girls’ 8 and under freestyle team as they have placed first in three of our meets. Most importantly, the fast start she gets in her opening leg of the 125 meter graduated relay has helped our girls notch three wins this season.

Adriana swims for the year round team, the Rappahannock Raiders, for two years, which helps improve her technique and times.

She works hard at both practices and it definitely shows at our meets.

We appreciate your hard work and dedication, Adriana. Way to go!

Our boys’ swimmer of the week

was totally new to swimming when he joined the Sharks last year (2013).

Encouraged to join the team by friends, ten-year old Kenneth Chan refused to let being unfamiliar with a sport stop his desire to learn everything he could about swimming.

In his first year with the Sharks, he swam only events in freestyle and backstroke.

This year, he now has mastered breaststroke and swam that event at the Fawn Lake meet, placing 10th with a time of 43.78; and 8th in backstroke with a time of 30.59.

The week before, at our home meet against Austin Ridge, Kenneth tied for fifth place in backstroke with a time of 32.13, and in freestyle placed 9th where the time difference between 5th and 9th place was a mere 1.07 seconds!

Kenneth works hard every day at practice, never complains, and always does what he is asked to do. He is learning fast and is very dedicated.

We appreciate all your hard work, Kenneth!

Keep track of passwords Passwords are more prevalent than ever before. If you want to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you’ll need to know your PIN code. To log in to an email account, you will first need to type your password. Secure shopping sites and social media sites require use of passwords as well.

Many sites require that passwords include a combination of letters and

numbers, and while passwords full of case changes and funny symbols may be difficult to crack, they also can be just as difficult to remember.

Managing the myriad passwords the average person must remember is no small feat. That’s why people routinely turn to familiar passwords.

But passwords that are too similar could put men and women in a com-

promising position that makes them susceptible to consumer fraud and identity theft. Fortunately, consumers can employ many precautionary measures to keep their information out of the wrong hands. • Write them down: Writing passwords down can be risky if the information falls into the wrong hands.

When storing passwords written down on paper, keep such information in a safe and secure place. A home safe or lockbox is safer than

jotting passwords down on a pad stored on top of your desk. • Password keeper: When visiting a site that requires login information, many operating systems will ask if you want the password information to be remembered automatically in the system’s hard drive.

If you routinely use one computer to access password-protected sites, having the passwords saved can be advantageous. But keep in mind that you will likely be prompted for your

password on such devices if you attempt to login from another computer or mobile device. It is not the site that saves the password, but the computer you are using. • Password apps: A variety of password saving apps have sprung up to keep passwords safe and organized.

Some are offered as free downloads, others require monthly or yearly subscription fees. These apps keep login information secure in one place.

Many password apps are paired with

security alert services, which will notify you if there is a suspected hack or breach of information. These alerts let you know if your password security has been compromised so that you can take fast action.

Technology has forced individuals to make all types of changes to their daily lives. As the world relies more and more on technology as a method of communicating and managing the tasks of everyday life, remembering passwords has become all the more important.

Simple ways to find more time in your day Workdays have a way of flying by, and many men and women find themselves wondering where the time went at the end of a typical day. A workday filled with meetings and the obligations of a career is only half the story for working parents, who upon leaving the office must manage the obligations of their families.

With such hectic schedules, it’s no

wonder so many working parents find themselves wishing there was more time in the day. While there may be no way to make a day 25 hours long, the following time-saving measures can increase the time you have to unwind and relax at the end of the night. * Save those leftovers. At the end of a good meal, leftover food will either find its way to the garbage can

or be wrapped up and stored in the refrigerator. Men and women looking to save time should embrace the latter approach to leftovers, turning them into an extra meal for later in the week. Saving and reheating leftovers from just one meal per week saves the time it takes to prepare and cook a fresh meal while providing a welcome weekly respite for the family cook from the chore of making

dinner. * Make better use of your lunch break. Men and women who aren’t accustomed to working lunches can use their daily lunch hour to run errands. While using a lunch hour to pick up some dry cleaning or visit the grocery store to get something for that night’s dinner can save time, even those errands that don’t require leaving the office can be tended to

during your lunch hour. Use your lunch hour to pay some bills and balance your checkbook or email your child’s teacher about an upcoming assignment. Tackling such errands during the daytime can free up more time to spend with your family at night. * DVR your favorite television programs. Many households have embraced the DVR, which,

along with streaming, has revolutionized the way we watch television. Rather than sitting down on the couch to watch your favorite shows when they initially air, use your DVR to record them and watch them when you get the chance. This can make your nights less hectic as you won’t be hurrying to complete chores before your favorite show airs.

New hunting regulation changes to be aware of and plan for Mark Fike While summer is definitely still here, and we have a few months before hunting season actually arrives, there are some things that hunters need to be thinking about now. The new regulation book will be out in a week or so, but can be viewed online. Here is an overview of some changes that are of importance.

Blaze orange Blaze orange is now REQUIRED of muzzleloader hunters, observers or helpers. The only exception is when such persons are stationary in a set hunting location, such as a blind or treestand. It is my understanding that at that point, the orange may be removed. This is a big change and will impact those that like to stalk and still hunt through the woods.

Remember to take and wear your blaze orange!

Muzzleloader pistols Muzzleloader pistols of .45 caliber or larger may be used when and where muzzleloader rifles are permitted for big game. At one time, I had both a pistol and a rifle set, and

I had hoped to take the pistol as a backup gun if I needed a final shot to humanely put down a deer. I got rid of the pistol out of the set, and now wish I had not.

Sunday hunting It’ll be interesting to see how Sunday hunting will fare. Hunting seasons, with the exception of waterfowl and migratory bird seasons, remain pretty standard as compared to past seasons. This year, hunters may hunt on Sundays on their land, family land and land where they have written permission to do so. No dogs may be used for big game or for raccoons. No hunting within 200 yards of a church.

Fox Hunting License For those of you who enjoy pursuing Mr. Fox on horseback without firearms for the enjoyment of the chase, you now have a license dedicated to your chase. It can be purchased instead of the basic hunting license and without the requirement of having a hunter education course.

However, if you have a basic hunting license, you do not need to get this new license.

Archery combination Archery licenses for both bow and crossbow are now combined in one license. That was good news, in my opinion. I have not used my bow for years, because I did not want to purchase a license to simply use the bow a time or two only and use my crossbow the rest of the time. Now, we can do both at will with one license.

Disabled Nonresidents Totally and permanently nonresident disabled veterans can now purchase a hunting or fishing license at 1/4 of the price of a nonresident license.

Apprentice License holders Apprentice license holders who complete a hunter education course before their license expires may hunt without supervision on that license, unless it is a stated youth/ apprentice hunt or hunting day.

Remember to carry your hunter education card with you into the woods.

Planting plots If you are into planting plots for hunting purposes, now is a great time to get the soil worked and planted to coincide with archery

season. We have had ample rain this summer, so we should be able to get some good growth up with planting.

One of my favorites to plant is plain old oats and/or turnip greens. There are a lot of seed mixes out there that are optimized to be used for plots and deer, but in a pinch and to save money, you can head to the seed/feed store to get turnip or oat seeds, and the deer and turkey will definitely use the plot. The oats that I plant are plain old feed oats; they seem to do well on my mediocre soil, and they last well into the fall.

The turnips also do well, and the deer really don’t bother them until it gets cooler. Several articles by agriculture professionals state that the leaves are sweeter when eaten during cold weather, particularly after a light frost.

Take a look at the length of time the seeds will take to mature to harvest and plant accordingly. Don’t forget to test your soil for the proper pH and mineral levels before putting a lot of money into planting.

Look for an article on deer urinebased deer hunting products in an upcoming issue. I think readers will be a bit surprised about this news…

Above: You can plant turnips now, or even as late as a few weeks from now to coincide with the hunting seasons. Typically, turnips are not a deer magnet until cooler weather. Now is a good time to consider planting them or getting soils ready to plant them. Below: Oats grow easily and can be broadcast by hand and then simply raked over to get started.

Plant trails, logging roads or plots with them.

Local youth makes impressive showing at Jr. Nationals Mark Fike Wil Emory, 8 years old, is the son of Lucky and Becky Emory who operate Poplar Ridge Farm off Lambs Creek Church Road in King George.

Wil Emory recently made the trek to Harrisburg to show two head of cattle in the Hereford Jr. National Show.

The Emory family specializes in raising polled Herefords, as well as goats, and growing hay on their farm. Wil was showing two of their cattle at the national show, which was held in an incredibly large air-conditioned building. Lucky Emory explained, “The show takes place over a week under 35 acres of roofed area. There were between 1,100-1,300 head of cattle under just a portion of that facility when Wil showed.”

Wil’s two cattle are named Parker and Rosemarie. At around 3’ 6” and weighing a mere 50 pounds, Wil is dwarfed by an animal that weighs

1,100 pounds and stands taller than he is. Yet, Wil was able to successfully show both animals and even placed 10th for the entire nation! Thirty-six states were represented at the show, with some driving from as far away as California to take part. Youth ages 7 to college-age were able to take part. The show was broken down by the type of cattle and the age group. Youth were judged on showmanship and market for their effort and animal.

Wil was pleased to take part, and his eyes lit up as he explained what he had to do to place his animal while there.

“My arms hurt on the last day because I had to control Parker and Rosemarie for so long. I also had to hold my arms up high to hold the lead and set them up,” he shared.

Wil went on to tell me that he enjoyed the show and that Parker was easier to handle than Rosemarie because Parker listened better. As you

might expect, Wil, like any other kid, likes candy, and when he won a fancy coffee mug of candy for his efforts, he was excited.

Another highlight of the show for Wil was his purchase of a fancy belt buckle that he wore while showing his animal the last few days. Of course, it has Herefords on it just like the ones he and his family raise on their farm.

This week (July 28-August 3) the Fredericksburg Agricultural Fair is ongoing. While the youth show will be completed by the time this paper is published, the Open Show will take place August 2 at 10 AM, and the Goat Show will take place that same day at 5 PM. If you have not made plans to go to the Fair, please do so, and don’t just ride the rides; go see the animals and livestock that are the core reason we have the Fair.

Congratulations to Wil Emory on his fantastic showing at the Jr. National Show! Good job, Wil!

Outdoor Report Fishing Fishing has been hot, but pretty good. Look for saltwater fishing to improve as we get closer to fall.

Rappahannock River — Ken’s Tackle in Spotsylvania (540-8981011) reported that catfish are hitting well on just about any bait now.

With the cooler days we had last week and forecast for this week, the fishing should continue to be good. Smallmouth fishing and sunfish are hitting well on the upper river, as are catfish.

There is reportedly some dock work being done at the City Dock in Fredericksburg now. Keep that in mind if you want to launch there.

Potomac River — Ken’s also reported good croaker action from Colonial Beach downstream. Donna at Ken’s mentioned some trout caught off Coles Point, as well.

Aqua Land in Southern Maryland is reporting plenty of croaker on squid near the bridge. Some spot are being caught, but not much info is being given on where or on what.

They also had a few customers use Fishbites to catch rockfish. Catfish are hitting on everything and are numerous.

Hunting Run in Spotsylvania is now home for snakeheads. They are seeing at least one a week being caught. Go figure.

Saltwater Croaker continue to hit very consistently from our area all the way down to Virginia Beach. Cobia are moving northward in the Bay. Captain Ryan Rogers of the Midnight Sun (804580-0245) had one boated within a few days of being back at Smith Point.

The mack bite is still around Windmill Point, but not reported to Smith Point in force yet. The big red drum are now being caught on Capt. Ryan’s boat, and he is now back at Smith Point. He has some open dates for big red drum, Spanish macks, bluefish and cobia trips.

Flatfish are being very productive all over the Bay now. Some nice spadefish are reported. Puppy

Mark Fike

Some spot are being caught in our area, but the better spot action appears to be downriver. drum are numerous around Virginia Beach. Try Rudee Inlet.

Hunter Education Courses coming up Now is a good time to get your hunter education course done. Here are the upcoming dates for courses offered locally. You must register at the following link to take the course.
