King George shows off its holiday spirit Local organizations step up to fill Thanksgiving meal void left by Social Services Phyllis cook and leonard Banks There were two large-scale efforts in King George in the last week to help those in need receive a traditional Thanksgiving meal. After the King George Social Services Department said it would be unable to provide its traditional Thanksgiving basket program, county residents stepped up to help some of the 500-plus families who would not receive a basket. Dave Coman, the department’s

director, expressed regret at having to cancel this year’s Thanksgiving program, saying plans for the Christmas program are in full swing. He also praised the King George community for stepping up. Resident Valerie Reed created a Facebook page to bring together people on social media to map out a plan to organize a turkey and trimmings give-away. The Hopyard subdivision clubhouse was a dropoff point, with Pastor Dr. Sherman Davis of Tabernacle Baptist Church offering his location for the

sorting and distribution last week. Reed said the idea of giving away turkeys started with Ruby Brabo passing along the news from Brooks. “After talking to several people out in the community who said ‘we need to make this happen,’ I got them together on a Facebook group,” Reed said. “Everybody took it and did the rest.” That included giving away about 125 turkeys and hams, as well as other items for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. “It’s truly amazing,” Reed said. “I

am truly in awe of the county that I live in.” Brabo agreed: “I think it’s a great outpouring from the community to help those in need. I think you can see the generosity in our community is just amazing.” More generosity was evident at a Nov. 16 Thanksgiving celebration by Love Thy Neighbor at the King George Citizen’s Center. A traditional Thanksgiving dinner with turkey and all the trimmings was served to more

Members of the Tabernacle Baptist Church helped distribute holiday meals to area residents.

Have a holly jolly German Christmas Schools, YMCA

team up to teach children to swim Phyllis Cook

The King George school division and King George Family YMCA are in the second year of an ambitious program to teach all second-grade students how to swim. And it’s working. King George YMCA Executive Director Elizabeth Taylor recently provided a report to the school board on the program’s inaugural year. “It’s a great partnership, and I’m so excited to share with you all the things we’ve been able to do,” Taylor said at a recent meeting. “One of the reasons we chose this program is because we live between two rivers. And it’s very important because drowning is the second-leading cause of accidental death in children.” Taylor said last year’s effort included all three elementary schools and about 320 students, including those with special needs, being taught by 10 certified swim instructors, volunteers and school staff. Money for the program came from a grant from the Duff McDuff Green Jr. Fund of the Community Foundation. “We had a YMCA commitment,” Taylor said. “But we also had your commitment as a school board and a supportive division superintendent.” Taylor said every student can float and tread in water over their head. “It is so important that each child

knows at least a little bit of water safety in case they get in trouble,” she said. Ashley Koch has a son in the program. “He’s doing great,” she said. “We have a pool at home, so he’s doing well, but this is teaching him a ton of stuff he wouldn’t know.” Ken Novell, a longtime swim enthusiast, coach and international competitor, as well as a current member of the school board, is one of the organizers and lead volunteer instructors for the program. “Teaching swimming is an important part of an education,” Novell said. “The program is character-building, and it builds self esteem. It’s quite an accomplishment for the kids. And they feel that.” Denise Hargray has a nephew in the program and also knows some of the other children participating. “They love it,” she said during a recent lesson for Potomac Elementary students. “I think it’s a good program. It’s really a good idea. And it’s a free program. I think that’s great.” School Board chairman Mike Rose praised Taylor for initiating the program. “I think it’s a great thing to be able to teach all of our children to be able to swim,” he said. “This is a really wonderful program that you started.”

Dahlgren museum hosts market as a fundraising event Richard Leggitt Despite the chilly weather Nov. 15, the grounds of the Dahlgren Heritage Museum in King George were packed with a large and boisterous crowd attending the one-day King George German Christmas Market. Vendors selling Christmas arts and crafts, along with decorations, candy and jams and jellies were busy. Oak Crest Winery offered its Rhine wines, and there was a booth selling German pilsner beers. “People were excited,” said Betty Grigg of Riverview Farm in King George, who along with

her husband, Randy, was one of the event’s busy vendors. “The organizers did a magnificent job. It was a fun event and very well run. It was exciting to see how many of the visitors were from Stafford and Spotsylvania and areas outside of King George.” The sounds and sights of the season included Nutcracker dancers, music from Anthony Campbell, Christmas trees decorated by local school children and a silent auction, featuring items like an overnight stay at Belle Grove or an opportunity to witness a live naval exercise at the nearby Naval Support Facility. The Bavarian Chef from Fredericksburg

operated its mobile German kitchen, providing visitors with a menu of authentic German foods. A fire pit in front of the museum entrance provided warmth as patrons gathered around it drinking hot chocolate, wine or German beer. All proceeds from the market went to the Dahlgren Heritage Foundation. The foundation operates the museum at 3540 James Madison Parkway, just before the Route 301 bridge across the Potomac River. The museum provides long-term preservation and educational efforts relating to the Navy’s mission at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren.

TODAY’S HEBREW WORD 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! Today’s word is the word Hebrew — meaning the people considered “Hebrew.” We first see mention of this term in Genesis 14:13 (NKJV) - Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew…We also need to understand the definition of this term literally means to “cross over” — which is what Abram did when he left his home to follow YHVH.

Colonial Beach VRS will be having its annual Tree of Lights. Only $5 per light, in honor of or in memory of a loved one. Mail donations with name to CBVRS 225 Dennison St. Colonial Beach, VA. 22443. Deadline is Tuesday, Dec. 16. Names will be listed in the December 23 edition of The Journal.

Colonial Beach Baptist Church has called Patrick B. Walker as their new pastor as of November 1, 2014. He has just completed a pastoral internship at Union Baptist Church in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Prior to that he was Pastor of The Fellowship Church , a church-plant in Lynchburg, VA and Associate Pastor of Evangelism/Discipleship at Restoration Family Church located in Lynchburg, as well. Pastor Walker holds a B.S. degree in Biblical Studies from Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA and three post-graduate degrees, including a Masters of Divinity from Liberty Theological Seminary. He is married to Kristyn Walker, and they have 4 children, a son, Abishai, who is 6 years old, a daughter, Atarah, who is 3-1/2 years old, a daughter, Tirzah, 2 years old, and a son, Benaiah Joseph, who was born on August 22, 2014. We are exciting and pleased to welcome him and his family to our church and our community!

Now to see what the picture text shows us: the word is spelled (from right to left) with the “ayin” “beit” and “reysh”. The “beit” and “reysh” spell the word for son. And the “ayin” is the picture of the “eye”, meaning to “see” or to “reveal”. Very simply, the Hebrew people were chosen by YHVH to “reveal the son”! Even if we don’t use the combined letters of “beit” and “resyh” to spell “son”, the story still tells us the Hebrew people “reveal the house of the highest”! Amazing isn’t it? Can you see why we are to study YHVH’s Word beyond the plain translations of our Bibles?

Drop off donations at BB&T or mail your donation with pet name(s) to CB Humane Society, PO Box 393, CBVA, 22443. Deadline for names is Dec. 16, for publication in the Dec. 23 edition of The Journal.

Pictured above are some of the boxes of cereal recently collected by realtors from Century 21 Battlefield and the three KG elementary schools. The 2014 annual Fredericksburg Assn. of Realtors â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cereal Drive â&#x20AC;&#x153; was a tremendous success! Locally, realtors from Century 21 Battlefield worked together with the three King George elementary schools and surpassed their goal of 1,000 boxes and actually collected well over 1,100 boxes of cereal for food pantries. Students from Potomac, King George and Sealston Elementary schools, along with clients of Century 21 Battlefield, made donations throughout October for the event. Cereal was distributed locally to St. Anthonyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, Potomac Baptist Church, St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church, the Love Thy Neighbor program and the King George Dept. of Social Servicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; food pantry. The Director of Social Services for King George County, David Coman, was thankful for this initiative and added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe the effort that went into this collection. This contribution goes directly to children and made my staff so happy to be able to give the cereal out to families. We are so proud of this effort; our collective â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanksâ&#x20AC;? goes to Chip Taylor and those that helped him.â&#x20AC;? The class at each elementary school that collected the most boxes of cereal won a Pizza Party. Century 21 Battlefield would like to give a BIG Thank You to Dominoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pizza in King George and Dahlgren for their generous support. Classroom winners were: Potomac Elementary: Lisa Kennedyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kindergarten Class George Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount Vernon Launches New Virtual Tour Website users can now transport themselves to George Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mount Vernon in the click of a mouse or the touch of a screen through an immersive new virtual tour, which launched this week on www.mountvernon.org.

Be a Santa to a Senior program looking for sponsors and community support During the next few weeks, our community will have a unique opportunity to help local senior citizens who might otherwise be overlooked this holiday season. Home Instead Senior Care is teaming up with non-profit agencies and area retailers to sponsor Be a Santa to a Senior â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a program that collects, wraps and delivers gifts to lonely and needy seniors in the city of Fredericksburg and the counties of Spotsylvania, Stafford, Caroline, King George and Westmoreland. The program, which depends on community support, runs from November 14 to December 12. The need is especially great this year, so I hope you will help us promote this community service project and let people know how they can make a difference in the life of a local senior. For more information about the local program, visit www.beasantatoasenior.com â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and please let me know if I can arrange interviews and/or photos with local program sponsors and volunteers.

Planning commission wants to ban fracking Phyllis Cook The King George Planning Commission tentatively agreed last week to send a report to the county Board of Supervisors advising deletion of all existing provisions referencing exploratory drilling for oil and/or natural gas in the county ordinance. Deletion of those references would have the effect of prohibiting fracking. The current method of drilling for natural gas is called hydraulic fracturing, or fracking. It is an industrial drilling process that

creates fractures in rock formations thousands of feet deep underground by injecting chemicals into cracks in the ancient shale to allow gas to be extracted. The fracturing of the shale rock takes place deep underground after the drill bit is turned in a horizontal direction and drilling continues. The drilling pipe is then punctured. Pressurized water and chemicals are introduced into the pipe, forcing it into the shale to widen fissures to release the natural gas. Among the potential risks of fracking, one is that chemicals seep through the pipe and pollute the

aquifer. On Sept. 2, the supervisors directed the commission to review the county’s zoning ordinance to address and minimize the potential impact of drilling for natural gas and oil. The deletion of all references to exploratory drilling will be revisited next month when commissioners put that recommendation in writing as part of an interim report to go to the supervisors in January. Deleting the references to exploratory drilling is plan A. “I think we have a responsibility to review this ordinance, and we have an opportunity to be robust in our

approach,” said commission chairman Tony Scaramozzi. Commissioners also came up with tentative plans B and C, which also can come into play if the deletion idea doesn’t fly with supervisors. Supervisors have indicated they have no interest in the county becoming a test case for a lawsuit by a drilling company by effectively banning it. At the same time, supervisors want strict rules that could discourage drillers from seeking a permit in the county, and at the same time, mitigate potential negative results of drilling if it can’t be stopped.

Plan B would be to keep the provision allowing for exploratory drilling, but to strictly define the term. Jack Green, director of community development, was tasked to come up with a definition limiting fracking to vertical drilling, and with no injection of chemicals. “I think it’s key to leave it as exploratory,” Green said. “Because that’s where the state has left it for the Tidewater region.” Green said state law has special provisions for the Tidewater region to protect the Chesapeake Bay. King George is in the Tidewater region, as are most localities east of Interstate

The King George Ruritan Club’s annual Veterans Day program proudly recognized four King George veterans, including three with service from World War II. Those honored, left to right, were Edith S. Gilmore – U.S. Army 1944-47; Walter B. Mason – U.S. Navy 1944-46; Howard V. Yarus – U.S. Navy – 1944-46; and Edwin Lee Frank, III – U.S. Marines 1967-1996. The Nov. 11 program drew a large crowd to the King George Middle School auditorium and was emceed by Tom Moffitt, with participation by the King George High School Junior ROTC Color Guard and Drill Team, St. Andrew’s Legion Pipe & Drums and Boy Scout Troop 191, with a keynote address by Capt. Mary Feinberg, Commanding Officer Naval Support Activity South Potomac.

Briefs County to host joint land use forum King George is hosting its third forum on a joint land use study at 7 p.m. Dec. 3 at the Dahlgren campus of the University of Mary Washington off U.S. 301. The ongoing study looking at the communities around the Naval Support Facility Dahlgren, including King George and Westmoreland counties in Virginia, and Charles and St. Mary’s counties in Maryland. The study’s objective is to accommodate growth and development, while at the same time sustaining base missions. A draft of the study is expected to be available later this month at www.dahlgrenjlus.com.

Truck fire closes Harry W. Nice Bridge A roaring fire closed both lanes of the Harry W. Nice Bridge over the Potomac River last week, causing a miles-long traffic jam on U.S. Route 301. The cause

of the fire is being investigatied by the Maryland Transportation Authority. Fire and rescue units from King George were among those summoned to fight the fire, which occurred at about 10 a.m. Nov. 19, when a box truck broke into flames while crossing the narrow 2-mile-long bridge. Traffic in both lanes was stopped for almost three hours. “The fire was extinguished pretty fast,” said Tamory Winfield, the athority’s public information officer. “But there was a lot of debris from the truck.” The bridge, which was built in 1939, is the only Potomac River crossing between Washington, D.C. and the Chesapeake Bay and handles more than seven million vehicles a year.

Body in Rappahannock identified as D.C. man

The King George County Sheriff’s Office has announced a body found in the Rappahannock River by a fisherman last week

has been identified as belonging to a man who disappeared Oct. 23 while visiting his mother in King George. Sheriff’s officers said Anthony H. Gibson, 26, of Washington, D.C. came to King George Oct. 14. His mother reported him missing nine days later. Gibson’s body was found in the river last week near Berry Plains Landing. Earlier this month, King George County Sheriff’s officers responded to a report that a trail camera set up near the river to record wildlife had recorded an image of a man wading in the water. Sheriff’s deputies, including a K-9 unit, searched the area near Millbank Road in King George but could not find Gibson. Gibson’s body has been sent to the medical examiner’s office in Richmond, and the investigation into the cause of his death and how his body ended up in the Rappahannock River is continuing, officers said.

95. If a commercially viable resource is found in the Tidewater area, the state would need to amend its rules, and the county could follow suit. Plan C is for Green to come up with an outline for additions and modifications to the special exception permit application that would address hours of operation, lighting, noise, traffic, road damage, additional setbacks, gas flaring, dust, runoff, minimum lot size, well-pad footprints and dimensions, fencing and screening, along with emergency preparedness and incident mitigation.

While the second enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act started Nov. 15, state officials still are debating whether to expand the state’s Medicaid program. Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe has made Medicaid expansion a centerpiece issue, but the Republicancontrolled General Assembly has so far refused to accept the federal expansion money, including during a special session in September. The issue is expected to be debated again in the next regular General Assembly session, beginning in January, with legislators on both sides of the aisle expected to introduce legislation to explore whether or not, and possibly how, to expand Medicaid coverage in Virginia. In the meantime, McAuliffe is trying to make it easier for all Virginians to participate in the federal healthcare marketplace. He recently unveiled a new website, www.coverva.org, which has information about enrollment and insurance plan options, including locations in Fredericksburg available for in-person assistance. Local social services officials said their offices are concentrating on helping income-eligible residents

get insurance, but information on signing up for health plans is available to all. They also will help with the new state initiative. “It hasn’t trickled down to us yet,” said Joe Howell, program coordinator for Westmoreland County Social Services. “We know it’s coming, but we haven’t gotten the details. As of now, we are continuing to help those who meet the state’s criteria, low income, blind, age or disabled.” Dave Coman, director of King George Social Services, said his office has “seen a vast improvement in the state’s ability to receive and process Medicaid cases.” During the first enrollment period last year, about 216,000 Virginians went online and purchased health plans at wwwhealthcare.gov, state officials said. Those who signed up last year or simply kept their previous coverage are encouraged to review their current plan’s coverage options and compare them with what’s changed and available this year with new price options. Another approximately 300,000 state residents qualify for tax credits from the federal marketplace but remain uninsured, officials said. Virginia was awarded a $9.3 million federal grant, in part to hire more than 100 enrollment navigators across the state.

Love Thy Neighbor spokeswoman Chris Buck said the group had a capacity crowd for the meal followed by its monthly food pantry distribution of groceries to take home. “This year, we are serving a lot more families,” Buck said. “We had 101 families attend our event, and 22 of them were new registrants.” They were assisted by approximately 35 volunteers. Buck said they prepared 21 turkeys for the Sunday meal, along with about 35 pies donated for dessert. Following the meal, each family was invited to go through the food pantry and select the items they wanted for a week’s worth of groceries, according to their family’s size. “We had an outpouring of food donations and volunteer support for our Thanksgiving celebration,” Buck said. Buck spoke highly of Reed’s successful turkey give-away earlier in the week, saying Love Thy Neighbor had helped with about 60 other volunteers. “They actually had turkeys left

The Colonial Beach Medical Center will close next month. Owner Kell Hoovler cited economic trends, escalating expenses and declining revenues as the reason for closing the small clinic, which has been serving patients for about 10 years. “It is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain the level of health care standards that we hold ourselves to,” Hoovler said. One patient, Thomas Krohn, said he was caught off guard and is worried about changing doctors. Krohn, 62, has a low testosterone condition that renders him weak and unable to work if he does not receive injections. He found out during a recent appointment that

his regular doctor left. “No one told me she was leaving,” he said. Krohn, who is on Social Security, is worried that if he cannot find a clinic close by that will provide the shots, he will have to return to his urologist to see if the drug can be administered in pill or gel form, which would be more costly. Hoovler said the clinic has no plans to reopen and new locations for the current doctors have not been determined. The clinic is referring patients to the Community Care Clinic in King George, East Coast Physicians in Colonial Beach and Stafford Primary Care Associates. Krohn is hoping he can transfer to a doctor at East Coast Physicians, but he is worried that with the

Colonial Beach Medical Center closing, the doctor will not have space by the time Krohn is ready to transfer. Medical assistant Nicole Powell said East Coast Physicians is taking new patients and looks forward to serving the displaced patients. The clinic accepts most major medical insurance, as well as Medicare and Medicaid The Community Care Clinic in King George already is seeing an influx of patients from the Colonial Beach Medical Center. “We have already had patients from the clinic call and come in to establish care with our doctors,” said Arlene Jacovelli, its CEO. “We are accepting new patients and making plans to increase staffing to provide care to patients of the

Colonial Beach clinic.” Dr. Roosevelt Dean and Dr. Roberto Canizares are the physicians at the Community Care Clinic. Dean used to work at the Colonial Beach Medical Center. The clinic accepts Medicare, Medicaid, Anthem, Tricare and other insurances. Self-pay patients are always welcome and the clinic is open Mondays through Saturdays. Former Colonial Beach Medical Center patients who wish to acquire their medical records can come by the office and sign a release form or send a request to P.O. Box 99 Garrisonville, VA 22463. “We appreciate the support that the Colonial Beach community provided to us for 10 years,” Hoovler said.

Drifters run all over Red Devils Rack up 567 yards on the ground

KG,W&L runners compete at states

with 593 total yards, the Red Devils were limited to 53 yards of offense by a stingy Driftersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense. Red Devils On the second play of the game, Graves rushed 56 yards from scrimmage for the gameâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first touchdown. On the following Colonial Beach drive, Ryan Thomas finished an 11-play, 4:09drive with a 23-yard touchdown. While Red Devil DeVante Stewardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s six-yard touchdown run helped cut the deficit to seven toward the final minutes of the first quarter, the momentum favored the host Drifters. With four players handling the ball under the Driftersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; patented singlewing offense, the Red Devils seemed flatfooted and bewildered throughout the second quarter. By the middle of the quarter, the Driftersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backfield easily found its way into the Red Devilsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; end zone; Headley (two-yard run) and Graves (47-yard run) extended the lead to 29-8. Sparked by an interception from Thomas, the Drifters added a threeyard touchdown run courtesy of Headley. At halftime, the Drifters led Drifters

During the VHSL CrossCountry Championships in The Plains, the King George High School duo of Aubrey Wingeart and Jacob Watson finished with solid performances as they represented their hometown. Wingeart placed 28th with a time of 19:57, while Watson finished 37th with a time of 16:59. Watson and Wingeart were the only local Fredericksburgarea runners at the VHSL 4A State Championship. Individual 4A champions were Peter Seufer from E.C. Glass (15:18), and Libby Davidson, also from E.C. Glass (17:12). Teamwise, Midlothian took home the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; title, while Jefferson Forest captured the girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crown. The Washington & Lee boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cross-country team finished sixth in the Virginia High School Cross-Country 1A state championships at Great Meadows in Warrenton. The boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; team was led by Hasan Gill, who finished 17th; Alex Westall, 38th; Jake Daiger, 60th; Eddie Jims, 84th; and Anthony Jones, 91st. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know the guys are disappointed in how we finished, but we had a great season,â&#x20AC;? said coach Cole Vanover. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are many teams that would love to be in our shoes. Finishing sixth in the state is quite an accomplishment.â&#x20AC;? The W&L girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cross-country team did not fare as well. Kathryn Beddoo, who has been injured much of the year, finished 23rd. Emma Oliver finished 38th; Claire Whitman, 68th; and Claire Minor, 70th.

The Colonial Beach defense wraps up a ball carrier during its impressive win versus Lancaster. 35-8. In spite of a fumble return for a 72yard touchdown by Rasul Henderson, the attempts by Lancaster to manufacture a rally during the final

two quarters were futile. After Parker added a four-yard touchdown run with less than minute remaining in the third quarter, the few Lancaster fans who made

the trip to Colonial Beach were nowhere to be seen. Parker also scored the Driftersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; final touchdown on a 43-yard run down the side of the field.

Fast start helps Eagles roll past Panthers Richard Leggitt Washington & Leeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense, which sputtered for the last two weeks after leading the Eagles to eight wins to open the season, reignited Nov. 14 in the first round of the VHSL playoffs. W&L rolled to a Eagles 49-0 halftime lead and went on to defeat the Charles City Panthers in Montross. Panthers The Eagles (9-2) will be at home Nov. 21 against powerful Parry McCleur of Buena Vista. The Fighting Blues are 11-0 after defeating Northumberland 48-12 in their first-round playoff game. The game this week will be an interesting twist on a 1979 state championship game between W&L and McCleur. The Fighting Blues went into that game 11-3, and W&L was 13-0. McCleur won, 20-6. It was the last time the two schools played in football. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be nice for us to turn the tables,â&#x20AC;? said W&L Athletic Director Malcolm Lewis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But they will be tough. They are undefeated; they have a good running game, a good defense and a good tradition of winning. Each week in the playoffs, the teams get tougher, and you have to get better if you are going to win.â&#x20AC;? The W&L offense scored nine touchdowns and finally may have found another top-flight running back to help replace D.J. Weldon, who was lost for the year earlier in the season when he suffered a broken leg. Jaquan Bell, a 215-pound junior fullback, powered for 78 yards on 10 carries and scored a touchdown in his first extensive play of the season. W&Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speedy senior running back Dexter Thompson picked up 93 yards on eight carries and scored two touch-

downs, while flashy junior wide receiver Kidanny DeJesus carried the ball four times for 88 yards and scored two touchdowns. W&Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Marion Pollard, moved to running back with Ball at fullback, ran for 31 yards and caught a 30-yard touchdown pass for a score, and 121pound speedster Ramani Goode ran for 31 yards and scored a touchdown. Senior quarterback Treshaun Brown scored on a one-yard scamper in the first quarter and threw for a touchdown to Pollard in the second quarter. The W&L defense was led by senior defensive lineman TreQuan Jackson, who appeared unstoppable and spent much of the night in the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; backfield. Jackson had two tackles for a loss, caused two fumbles, had three quarterback hurries and knocked down two Charles City pass attempts. Goode, who also plays defensive

back, had seven tackles and two assists, while senior linebacker Keith Johnson had six tackles, including one for a loss and one for a quarterback sack. Senior linebacker Linwood Newman had five tackles, an assist and a quarterback hurry. The W&L special teams also had one of its best nights in the Charles City game. Kicker Jake Daiger consistently backed up the Panthers with booming kickoffs, and he booted nine extra points. Defensive lineman Markeyse Thompson also kicked a point after, and junior wide receiver Jarret Sumiel scored the first W&L touchdown of the game on a punt return. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We played flawlessly in the first quarter,â&#x20AC;? Lewis said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were relentless on defense, and we had penalty-free, good execution on offense. We put the game away early, and a lot of subs got to play. It was a very good win.â&#x20AC;?

Naval Surface Warfare Center engineer Ben Tritt crossed the finish line at the first annual DECA 5K and 1-Mile Veterans Day Run. With a time of 21:06, Trittâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closest competitor was Michael Sisson, who finished in 21:30. The top womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s runner was Hannah Koefinger, who finished with a time of 22:01. Local business owner and avid marathon runner Alice Pallotti finished third in the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s category with a time of 22:55. One-mile first-place winners included: ages 5-7 female, Callista Rash, 7:44; ages 5-7 male, Bryan Jordan, 7:56; ages 8-10 female, Carthy Wingeart, 7:24; ages 8-10 male, Cameron Cook, 7:28. King George High School seniors and cross-country standouts Ashley Perkins and Kristen Hornbaker organized the race. The event was created and inspired from a DECA

class project to honor the Some Gave All Foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Some Gave All Foundation has done amazing things for our community, such as providing scholarships, housing, food, transportation, education and helping our veterans,â&#x20AC;? Perkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love running, and we thought that this would be a great way to honor the veterans on Veterans Day.â&#x20AC;? After finishing the race in fourth place, NSWC engineer Doug Cantrell ran alongside the remaining 5K runners for the final 100 yards in hopes of inspiring each runner to finish with their best time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick Mason is the inspiration behind by participation,â&#x20AC;? Cantrell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I moved to King George because of the Mason family, and I would do anything to honor Nick.â&#x20AC;? The Some Gave All Foundation mission is to ensure that those who have served will never be forgotten. Ten local businesses and private benefactors sponsored the event. Thrilled with the turnout, Clerk of the Circuit Court of King George, Charles Mason, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dee Strauss has done a nice job with DECA to support so many causes and teach kids what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to do for others.â&#x20AC;?

Colonial Beach teacher learns to love rugby Leonard Banks Sports Editor Colonial Beach High School art teacher Briana Harroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life beyond the classroom is anything but boring. Twice a week, on an isolated field in Stafford, she, along with a group of male and female rugby athletes, participate in a two-hour grueling session of practice. Beyond the exhaustive and physical nature of the sport, the passion to play the game from the high school to adult club level is growing nationally. In fact, Harrold and her cohorts love the sport so much they play it throughout the year. Under the umbrella of the Rappahannock Rugby Football Club, Harroldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all-womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugby

team goes under the name of the Debutantes of Debauchery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always loved running, and any sport that has a running element, I really enjoy,â&#x20AC;? Harrold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen a sport that allowed the same amount of contact as men. This is only sport that the rules are no different than the men.â&#x20AC;? Harrold was introduced to the sport five years ago while attending college in New York. Through her formative high school competitive years, Harrold was a die-hard track and field athlete. However, after getting an invitation to attend a rugby practice via a phone call out of nowhere from her collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rugby captain, her life outside the athletic box changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They said that they would love it if I would come to one of their

practices one day,â&#x20AC;? Harrold said. After attending one practice, Harrold enthusiastically handed in her track shoes the next day and is now a rugby mainstay. Throughout her college years, she occupied the back three or wing back defensive position, where she was the last line of defense for her team. Nowadays, she occupies the lead offensive position on her team as the scrum half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Briana is a very good player,â&#x20AC;? said Rappahannock Rugby Football Club menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head coach Michael Bielinsky. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Currently, I am making her learn a couple of different positions that she is not used to playing. She is the only one of the 15 women players that has ever played the sport before. We put her in the scrum half position, which is simi-

lar to a quarterback in football. She passes the ball and dictates where the two groups of players go.â&#x20AC;? While the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s male numbers are relatively good (20-25 players), the women are trying to increase their membership beyond their current 15-player squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hardest part of recruiting women is that they have this idea of what the women look like,â&#x20AC;? Harrold said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not a scary looking bunch of ladies. While we are not the biggest team physically, we are a lot of fun to be around.â&#x20AC;? The organization also features a 15-18 age youth group, where aspiring players can learn the sport at an early stage. For more information on the organization, go online to www.fredrugby.com/.

Changing tactics may yield a better hunt Mark Fike Here we are weeks into the deer season, and many nice deer have been harvested. The remaining deer are growing wary of truck doors slamming, engines running and gunshots. Two weeks ago, we may have gotten away with some small missteps in the woods, such as a stick cracking, or a cough or clearing of the throat. However, with the rut winding down fast, the deer are back in 100 percent survival mode. If you have not seen deer the past few days you have gone out, it may be time for a change of game plan. Here are some suggestions that I have used throughout the years that have gotten me shots when previously, shots were not to be had. n If you drive into a property to hunt, and there is a different way in, a different place to park or you can avoid using your lights, do so. Deer get conditioned to hearing a truck and then being chased, spooked or shot at. If they associate one noise with a bad result soon after, you may be blowing your chances of seeing deer. I pull only as far as I have to pull into properties that I hunt, so the deer are less likely to put the sound of my truck together with danger. Sometimes I even get dropped off on the far side of a property and then hunt my way to the stand.

I often wonder if the deer pattern us as much as we try to pattern them. Show up at a later time, and you might get extra sleep and a nice deer. n Timing can be everything. If you are hunting at the exact same time each week on a regular basis, perhaps it is time to sleep in an hour and then take your time heading to the property to hunt. In the past 20 years during my discussions with taxidermists, I have heard of countless deer they mount being taken after 9 a.m. This is even truer the later in the season we get. I often wonder if the deer pattern us as much as we try to pattern them. Show up at a later time, and you might get extra sleep and a nice deer. Some hunters like to be in the stand before sunrise. That can be a great tactic. However, I gave that up many years ago because I bumped too many deer on my way in. While deer may not spook as bad since they could not see what was making the noise as I hustled to my stand, they did run off. Instead, I am at the location at daybreak and hunt my way to my spot. I see a lot of deer on the way, and often bag one before I get to my

stand. n Just as I suggested driving into a property from a different approach, I would strongly suggest not using the same trails or approaches to stands at this point in the season, as well. Once I began taking a different route to stands, or even changing stand locations, I began seeing more deer. I start this tactic once my deer sightings begin to dwindle. Take a look at a topography map if you need to, and then figure out a different route. It may take you longer, it may be a pain, but the outcome should be worth it. A side note about different routes and approaches that I should mention is that many times these changes yield new hunting stand locations, a puzzle piece that falls into place about where deer hide and the discovery of a new bedding area or escape route. I would not trade the times I took a different route to a stand or hunting spot. I have learned far too much on those roundabout walks. As gun season continues and Thanksgiving approaches, please be sure to obey the law, have upto-date written permission to hunt, and wear your blaze orange. This is a great time of year to spend with family and friends. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s keep it safe while we enjoy the woods and fresh venison, rabbit, squirrel or waterfowl.

Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2014

Blake Johnson, 15, took this buck Nov. 8 with his muzzleloader. He has taken several small bucks and does, but this is his biggest one by far. We would like to run hunting and fishing pictures that are tastefully taken (no blood, guts etcâ&#x20AC;Ś). Please be mindful of safety when taking photos. Watch where guns are pointed. Clean up your background, as well. Cans or trash in the back of a truck are not tasteful when you have dinner on your tailgate. Send the photos for consideration to: outdoors@journalpress.com. Tell us the name of the angler/hunter, the species, when taken and with what. If an age is appropriate, give us that, too.

it, as well.

The rut has peaked and may be on the downhill slide. Some does are reportedly still being chased. I witnessed this Friday evening, but the main activity is certainly waning. Look for bucks to still be seeking does, but also look for does to be more interested in food now. There seem to be plenty of squirrels if you are near nut-bearing trees. Rabbits are in good supply, as well. Duck hunting was spotty, according to the reports we heard. With our rainfall being low, many swamps and sloughs are empty, causing some of us to have nowhere to duck hunt. If you are hunting on Sunday, you must have a written permission slip saying you may hunt on Sunday. You cannot simply have a permission slip to hunt. It has to specify Sunday on

Fishing

Some bass are also hitting on minnows. High Point Marina at Lake Anna reports good crappie action on small minnows, and bass action on jerkbaits and suspending baits. Striper action is good all over the lake now, but many anglers are heading uplake in search of the better action. Sassy shads, jigging spoons and live bait are the best choices. Saltwater: Capt. Ryan Rogers reports great rockfish action. The fish are pushing 32 inches, and they are beginning to troll for some of them. Donna had a number of customers report that chumming menhaden is working very well at the mouth of the Potomac. Many customers are reporting sea lice on the fish, meaning they came from the ocean. The larger fish definitely are here now, with bigger fish on the way.

Fishing is still very good. Rockfish and crappie are the main attraction. Rappahannock River: Donna at Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tackle in Spotsylvania reported crappie were hitting around the Fredericksburg City Dock and Little Falls. Catfish are hitting during the day, but few anglers are out targeting them. Potomac River: Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reported Aquia Creek was hot for perch and crappie using jigs and tube baits. Striped bass were hitting up and down the river. Colonial Beach to the mouth of the river is the best area. Light tackle anglers are taking fish using RatLTraps and jerkbaits. Some spoons are good for jigging. See saltwater section for more info. Inland waters: Pond action was great for crappie on small minnows.

OPINION

VIRGINIA VIEWPOINTS

Pilgrims show America at its best What’s Thanksgiving about? Some people will tell you about its religious significance. Others, rightly, will say it’s about giving thanks. Still others will talk about the meal. Some, like my late father and uncle stressed the football. Ho w e v e r, almost no one, save for the kids in school pageants, talks about the Pilgrims. David S. Kerr The only mention of Pilgrims in my house when I was growing up were the two little figurines sitting on either side of the turkey. They wore black and white outfits and funny hats. However, that’s a bum rap. These plucky settlers, in their own way, capture the essence of the American spirit. Yes, they were a little strange. They dressed in plain clothes, wore funny hats and were, on occasion, rigid.

The only mention of Pilgrims in my house when I was growing up were the two little figurines sitting on either side of the turkey. They wore black and white outfits and funny hats. However, that’s a bum rap.

That’s just one side of them. They also were adventurous. When they decided to come to America, knowing nothing about the sea, they went ahead and bought a ship. Actually, two. One was unseaworthy, bought from a 17th century “used ship” dealer, while the Mayflower was a former wine carrier. Its bottom was flatter than most ships and not ideal for a transatlantic voyage. But, off they went. Along the way, they ran into a hurricane. Not only did this throw them off course and send them towards New England, but the force of the storm broke a main beam. If it failed, they’d sink. It With a spirit of ingenuity that we Americans still take pride in, they used their printing press, with its big screw, to rig a temporary support. It saved the day. Then came their arrival in the New World. They weren’t where they were

supposed to be and there were already rumblings between the pilgrims and their non-pilgrim associates. They had to devise a way to get along. So, the men of the Mayflower, Pilgrim and non-Pilgrim, wrote the Mayflower Compact. It established a majority rule for making decisions. No one, anywhere, had a government like that. This early form of democracy helped the colony survive. John Adams called the Mayflower Compact one of our nation’s founding documents. The pilgrims also learned some economic lessons. When they arrived their plan was to farm the land collectively. The investors back in London liked this approach and thought it would bring them the best return. However, this early experiment in socialism failed miserably and is

associated with what the Pilgrims called the “starving time.” After a couple of years of trying collective farming they tried something new. Without the permission of their backers in London, the Pilgrims decided to farm their land individually. It was an immediate success and production boomed. Then there were their relations with the Indians. While our history is dominated by our mistreatment of the first Americans the Pilgrims took a different view. There were conflicts, but overall, when the Pilgrims made agreements with the Indians, they kept them. Also, they showed them respect. After all, the Pilgrims invited the Indians to their first Thanksgiving meals. Peace between new arrivals and the Indians wouldn’t be broken until well after the first Pilgrims had died. These were remarkable people and great Americans. They were daring, innovative, individualistic, and a people who tried to live by their beliefs. So, between the football, the food, and giving thanks, raise a glass to these early American settlers. They deserve it.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Letters to the Editor Deer-baiting opponents showing ther hypocrisy To the Editor: I read with great interest Mark Fike’s Oct. 29, 2014 article entitled, “Survey shows baiting is not welcome in Virginia.” First off, a 59 percent approval rat-

ing of hunting using bait isn’t that bad. Indeed, if our president enjoyed a 59 percent approval rating, it would be a bragging point by the White House and all of the Democratic party. For interest sake, I would like to know what the approval rate would be for using dogs to chase/kill deer (which hap-

Who Is Jesus Christ?

pens to be a legal practice in Virginia east of the Blue Ridge Mountains). Those who disapprove of using bait to hunt deer need to set aside their hypocrisy. How many people use bait to fish and crab ? Hunting over bait does conjure up some idea of lambs going to slaughter but, it’s not all that cut and dried. Deer baiting may be illegal in PAID ADVERTISEMENT

It is better to speak the truth and be hated than to speak lies and be loved. Jesus was once asked, “What is truth?” He spoke these words, “I Am The Way, The Truth, The Life ...” Every word that Jesus spoke was absolute truth for all mankind and for all time. In His life He made many profound statements and many hated Him because of what He said. John 10:30 Jesus said “I and the Father are one.” In the Greek language the word “one” means one and the same, to the exclusion of others. He claimed to be God in human flesh and He proved it by rising from the dead after three days. Five hundred people saw Him after His resurrection. Here are just five examples of Jesus claiming to be God and there are many more. . In John 1:1 and 14, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God.” “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory … full of grace and truth.” In John 14:9 Jesus said, “He who has seen me has seen the Father, so how can you say show us the Father?” He is also all wisdom, power, life and light of the world to those who believe. In John 8:56-58 Jesus said to the Jews, “Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to Him, “You are not fifty years old and you have seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you before Abraham was, I AM.” In Exodus 3:13-14, “Then Moses said to God, ‘If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, the God of your fathers has sent me…and they will ask me, what is His name? ‘ God said to Moses, ‘I AM who I AM…I AM has sent me to you.’” The name I AM used in Exodus 3:13-14 was the same I AM Jesus used in John8:56-58. The word I AM means self-existent, eternal God. Jesus clearly claimed to be God. This letter is written in truth and love using the living words of God. My heart’s prayer is that all who read this will open up their hearts to the one true living God. What Jesus spoke was absolute truth. There is a great desire in my heart to tell you who Jesus Christ is so that many will come to Him with humility and a repentant heart for your sins and turn from evil so you will be forgiven of all your sins and not only does Jesus forgive our sins but He remembers them no more. Please open your heart to Jesus Christ and come to know His love, forgiveness, mercy and grace. Dale Taylor (540) 273-9037 PAID ADVERTISEMENT

Virginia and many may disapprove of the practice but, how many dove hunters sit on or by a fresh cut corn field every September. If a person happens to be wealthy, how big are the apple orchards or corn fields by which they hunt. At present under state law, who is more apt to get many big deer . . . the rich land owners awash in crops with a naturally grown bait or the blue collar worker living in a double wide on 5 acres. The use of bait would even up that huge hunting imbalance between rich and poor hunter. Wealthy hunters can boast about their big bucks but, their affluence afforded them to hunt over a legal bait in the form of crops and food plots. If the blue collar hunter should put out a bucket of corn on his 5 acres to improve his chance to see a deer, suddenly he’s a bad guy and a cheater. Meanwhile, the deer dog hunters are not challenged and are considered honorable hunters using packs of dogs to roust deer from places of rest and refuge to get mowed down fleeing in to lines of waiting hunters. If ethics is the question, use the TV Hunting Channel as the yardstick to measure ethical deer hunting. How often are deer hunted by use of bait on the Hunting Channel? The answer is countless. How many deer are seen hunted on the Hunting Channel using dogs? The answer is zero. The entire deer bait topic here in Virginia is fraught with hypocrisy, double standards, bias, prejudice and simple ignorance. If the truth could ever be presented in a public forum, there would be a significant jump from that 59 percent approval. Sincerely, Karl Schmidt Farmville

The King George County community comes together for the children

A collector from Lancaster County purchased this Victorian walnut sideboard at an antiques shop in Richmond about 10 years ago. It has the original finish and is in excellent condition and complete except for the missing escutcheon on the drawer on the right in the photograph. All of the carving, Henry Lane which is part of Hull the wood panels, and not the result of an applied technique, has survived intact. This sideboard dates from the period from 1840 to 1860. It is part of the Rococo Revival, sometimes termed Italianate. The wood tone is excellent, and the matching of the

light and dark grains of the wood show the hand of a master craftsman. The carving is especially fine. The raised panels on the ends are in keeping with the period, whereas with the earlier American Empire style, solid ends would indicate a higher level of craftsmanship. Two possibilities come to mind for replacing the missing escutcheon. First, consider sending one of the existing escutcheons to a brass manufacturer such as Horton Brass or Baldwin Brass, asking if they can duplicate it. Second, check online to see what is available. The cost of replacement should not be that significant, and the overall quality of the piece demands that it be done. The architecture of the sideboard and the superior level of its execution place this piece in the upper range of Victorian furniture. Unfortunately, the Victorian Era is not as popular in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s culture as it was a genera-

Cub Scouts make news for the newspaper

tion ago. As such, today this piece is worth $750, but for owners of restored Victorian homes, particularly ones dating from the 1850s, this item could be a pearl of great price.

once again. Henry Lane Hull and his wife, Lisa, operate Commonwealth Antiques and Appraisals, Inc. at 5150 Jessie duPont Hwy. in Wicomico Church, VA. Write to him at P.O. Box 35, Wicomico Church, VA 22579 or email questions to henrylanehull@ commonwealthantiques.com. Happy Antiquing!
