Life-long birder, amateur wildlife photographer, Audubon and Virginia Society of Ornithology (VSO) member Bob Schamerhorn of Richmond will address shorebirds. The presentation will include photos. Shorebirds of the Atlantic include gulls, terns, skimmers, sandpipers, plovers, herons, egrets, swans, ducks, geese, mergansers and rails, said program chairman Bonnie Wilson. The program will include discussion of habitats, migration and their challenges. “Bob’s fascination with nature has been with him since childhood,” said Wilson. “This interest had him exploring everywhere from his neighborhood creeks, to the hills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, all the way to the marshes of the Outer Banks.” His career has been in graphics and he has helped publish a couple of bird books and illustrated a few children’s books. He started a weekly photoblog (www. iPhotoBirds.com) in 2006 and has published a calendar, filled with his nature photography, every year since 2008. Schamerhorn is a member of the National, Richmond and Hawaii Audubon Societies, the Colonial Nature Photography Club and VSO, said Wilson. This program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served. Bird walk set at Washington’s birthplace The Northern Neck Audubon Society (NNAS) will conduct a bird walk December 10 at George Washington Birthplace National Monument Park on Pope’s Creek near Montross. This is a fascinating time of year to bird watch as the migrating waterfowl are arriving, sometimes in great numbers, said Maggie Gerdts. The National Park Service allows visitors to view wildlife at the birthplace. In addition to wildlife, the park offers stunning vistas of the Potomac River from beautiful bluffs. There are woods, ponds, open fields and beaches, said Gerdts. Possible sightings include bald eagles, Canada geese (in great numbers), white fronted geese, great blue herons, terns, gulls, loons, wild turkeys, tundra swans, bufflehead and hooded merganser ducks. Carpools will leave Grace Episcopal Church in Kilmarnock at 7:15 a.m. Those going directly should meet at 8:15 a.m. at the beach in the park. Warm clothing is recommended, she said. There will be loaner binoculars available. Call Frank Schaff at 462-0084 to sign up so he can call if the walk is cancelled. Fred Birchett has resigned after five years as head football coach at Lancaster High School. Birchett resigned November 15, announcing it through an email to the media and other coaches. Birchett, who came to Lancaster from New Kent in July 2008, will remain as the school’s athletic director, physical education teacher and driver’s education instructor. “I would like to thank everyone for everything you have done for the football program,” stated Birchett in his email. Birchett has taken the Red Devils to post-season play three times. Lancaster captured a share of the Northern Neck District title in 2010 for the first time since 1998. That same year, Birchett was named a Redskins High School Coach of the Week, a program designed by the Washington Redskins to recognize and reward excellence in high school football coaching. He has coached football for 29 years, 20 of those at the Bay Rivers District’s New Kent High School. During his career he has received numerous coaching awards including the Virginia High School Coaches Association State Football Coach of the Year (1997), Coach of the Year, Touchdown Club of Rich- &RED"IRCHETT mond (1997, 1999 and 2001) and the Virginia High School Coaches Association Coach of the Year-East (2003). Lancaster advanced to the first round of the Eastern Section, Division 1 playoffs this season where they lost to Colonial Beach to end the year at 5-6 overall. Birchett went 33-21 during his tenure at LHS and has won 179 games in his career. A decision about Birchett’s replacement has not been made. Football contest results Two contestants missed just one game in the final Rappahannock Record Football Contest of the year, and Wallace Davis of Wake took first based on his first tie-breaker guess. He wins a $50 gift certificate to King’s Cleaning. Davis and Walter Scott of Pulaski were tied with one miss but Scott failed to pick a winner in the tie-breaker. Davis picked Virginia Tech to win and guessed 32 points would be scored in the game with Virginia. Tech won, 17-14. Thanks to our sponsors and to everyone who participated in the contest this year.

Billy Pipkin As we enter December, rockfish, the signature species of the Chesapeake Bay are filling our waters. The large specimens are slowly filtering into the region, while the smaller schooling samples are widely available. Water temperatures continue a slow descent by removing a degree of red this week. Currently at 49 degrees, the bay waters are seven points lower than a year ago and near the ten-year average. Striped bass have become more abundant throughout the region with the smaller 18- to 28-inch class offering easy limits by several methods. Chumming remains good on areas of structure, particularly on the artificial reefs. Trolling and jigging light tackle is a sure bet among the many schools found below feeding gulls. These schools have been spread out from Wolf Trap Light up to the mouth of the Potomac River. The primary method of landing the large specimens is troll- ing. Locations holding the larger fish remain consistent, with the deeper channel edges holding the lions share. Some of these locations include the shipping channel from Buoys 70 down to Buoy 62, Tangier sound, the Cell and Cape Charles. The best results have come along the edges of the shipping channel in 50 to 70 feet of water, yet there are many fish lingering in schools of menhaden over the deeper waters midchannel. Fishing your lures from the surface to depths of 35 feet will place your presentation in the right water table. As I’ve already mentioned, most of the fish are hanging in and around schools of menhaden. This main staple of rockfish have become more abundant this week. For best results, match the size of your lure or bait to mirror that of the natural food. Most of the baitfish are averaging six inches in length, but there are schools of large menhaden migrating along the channels. With that in mind, drag larger profile baits in those areas while the smaller shad baits on bucktails should be trolled among the inshore schools of smaller bunker fish. These fish have begun to feed heavier and are starting to bulk up in size. Sizes of the schooling fish are averaging 22 inches with the larger fish up to 30 or 40 inches. I am pleased with the SS rockfish baits. They have outperformed other brands aboard my charter boat this season. The product line has bucktails, parachutes and large mojo’s from an ounce up to 33 ounces. Be persistent and patient in your fishing efforts. Remember, there is a final moment of unyielding patience which, in angling, so often makes the difference between fish and no fish. Until next week… Fair winds. Capt.

Cappetta, 19, participates in track at The College of William and Mary, where he also is a red shirt freshman on the cross country team. His chip time on Thursday, November 22, in Irvington was 29:29.57. His grandparents are Richard and Alice Slember of White Stone. Marshall Douglas, 38, of Mathews placed second at 29:57.78 and Kai Filion, 33, of Washington, D.C., was third at 30:39.67. Julia Smith, 44, of Tappahannock, with a time of 33:47.93, was the first female to cross the finish line, Jennifer Saam, 38, of Newcastle, Wash., placed second at 33:57.81 and Liesl Inglish, 45, of Boerne, Texas, was third at 34:03.53. Coordinator Michelle Lybarger indicated she was pleased with the turnout and the event. This was the first year the committee used a professional firm to administer the races and time the events. The duty fell on Colonial Sports Inc. of Williamsburg. In the two-mile run/walk, Justin Stewart, 22, of Weems placed first among some 370 finishers. His gun time was 10:49.52. A 2008 graduate of Lancaster High School, where he participated in cross-country, he now runs club cross-country at James Madison University. This was his third first-place finish in the Turkey Trot two-mile. Ronnie Cutler, 16, of Lancaster placed second at 10:56.33 and Nicholas Whay, 17, of Lancaster was third at 11:12.43. Jenna Wilson Crawley, 35, of Banner Elk, N.C., formerly of Kilmarnock, was first among the women to finish. Her time was 12:39.10. Previously, she ran in the five-mile and this was the first time she has competed in the two-mile, said Crawley. A former runner on the Lancaster High school track team, she said the two-mile was her event in high school. Sara Schindler, 15, of Reedville placed second at 13:09.44 and Nancy Barnhardt, 17, of Hartfield was third at 13:13.71. Lancaster cross-country and track coach Joanne Webb-Fary said it was awesome to see so many of her current and former runners participating in the Turkey Trot. Four of the top six runners are current or former Red Devils runners. “It inspires me,” said Webb-Fary, who ran in the five-mile. &IVEMILERACE The following participants are listed by division in order of finish and by name, chip time, age and place of residence. -ALESAGES Slember, Dave, 40:06.21, 41, Pittsburgh, Pa.

The speedway will focus on its weekly racing for the 2013 season and re-evaluate the running of the two special events at the end of next season. “This is purely a business decision. With the current economic climate, I felt we are best served by focusing on our weekly racing program, our weekly competitors and our local fan base,” said Sawyer. The staff is currently at work putting the 2013 schedule together and should have it released in the coming weeks. Bill Sawyer’s Virginia Motor Speedway, an ASA Member Track, is a ½ mile dirt oval track on Route 17 in Jamaica, eight miles north of Saluda and 25 miles south of Tappahannock. The Rappahannock Pistol and Rifle Club, one of 67 Gold Medal NRA Clubs in the country, held its annual banquet November 15 at the Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club. Del. Margaret Ransone spoke on several issues ranging from the Castle doctrine to current issues facing the Virginia legislature. Her presentation was received by more than 136 members and their guests. Following the talk, an awards ceremony was held to recognize the outstanding shooters in three categories— pistol, rifle and shotgun, said president George Chagalis. Individuals compete in a variety of matches throughout the year and receive points based on how well they finish in each of those matches. In the pistol matches, Tom Smith finished first. Cliff Lucas was second and Barry Smith, third, In the rifle events, Barry Smith finished first. Tracy Grissett was second and Tom Smith, third. In shotgun competition, Bob Hudson finished first, George Chagalis was second Tom Smith, third. In addition, the club recognizes its overall champion, as the individual who achieves the most points throughout the year in all categories, said Chagalis. Tom Smith was the recipient of the Taylor Award, in honor of Betty and Larry Taylor, in recognition of their many contributions to the club throughout the years. Barry Smith and Tracy Grissett received recognition in this category, finishing second and third respectively. The club’s achievement award, the Fred Ajootian Award, was given to Dennis Austin for his outstanding service, leadership and devotion to the club and its members. This award, named in memory of Fred Ajootian, is awarded annually. Anyone interested in any of the shooting sports or attending some of the classes (basic courses for pistol, rifle and shotgun; Women on Target; and youth shooting) held throughout the year, contact Chagalis at 438-9052, or rprclub.com.

Triple Crown winner Secretariat received 50.4% of the ballots cast for this year’s candidates of famous Virginians to be included in the history-based walking tour. “As representatives of the birthplace of Secretariat, we’re pleased to learn of this recognition,” said Greg Hicks, vice president of communications for Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. The federation is a partner in the State Fair of Virginia, held at The Meadow Event Park in Caroline County, where Secretariat was born. “His story of family ties and overcoming obstacles to become perhaps the greatest racehorse of all time continues to inspire new generations who visit The Meadow or participate in a horse event at our facility,” Hicks said. Secretariat was among 61 eligible Virginians qualified this year for inclusion. Ballots were sent to a statewide network of almost 1,300 judges, including university presidents, heads of historical societies and museums, history professors, librarians, news media representatives and Virginia Beach teachers. The top five runners-up included oceanographer Matthew Fontaine Maury, country music legends The Statler Brothers, bluegrass pioneer Ralph Stanley and musician Bruce Hornsby. The Virginia Legends Walk is located in the heart of the Virginia Beach resort area. Begun in 1999, it features 37 key historical figures from Virginia, from George Washington to tennis great Arthur Ashe. Secretariat is the only individual, human or animal, to appear on the covers of Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated magazines. He was depicted on a U.S. postage stamp in 1999. Sports Illustrated ranked Secretariat third among its top 50 Virginia athletes of the 20th century, behind Ashe and Lawrence Taylor, and among its Top 100 athletes of the 20th century. ESPN ranked Secretariat 35th among its 100 top athletes of the 20th century, the highest-ranked non-human of three on that list. His 1973 Belmont Stakes victory was ranked second on the ESPN list of “Greatest Sports Performances” behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game. Storage Davis Auto won two games from D & L.

Eduardo Zarraga. Hello, I would first like to introduce myself to you. My name is William “Bill” Smith and I have always been and will remain a supporter of public education. Our founding father, Thomas Jefferson initiated the chance for ALL children to have the opportunity for a quality education. I will hold fast to his belief and will pursue the right for our children to have the safest environment, the top teachers, and best administrators Lancaster County can offer. Having served on the Lancaster County School Board for eight years, I know what the needs of our division are and look forward to working with you to realize those needs. I would like to invite you to the first meeting of the CFS(Community for our Schools) meeting on December 4th at the Dreamfields Complex at 6:30. This will be like one of the old “Town Hall” meetings that brought the community together to make a change. This meeting is about enforcing the “Zero Tolerance” policy, where if a student severely misbehaves they must leave our schools for an extended period of time. It is a meeting about giving our teachers the right to discipline so that all students have the right to learn. It is a meeting about hiring capable and positive administrators that will enforce the School Board’s policy and support our teachers. It is a meeting where the voice of our students, teachers, parents, and community is finally heard. It is a meeting where the voice of school’s employees will be heard without repercussion! It is a meeting where parents with special needs children don’t have to settle for a minimum education. It is not a meeting about personal agenda but a meeting that will bring Lancaster County Public Schools to the top of all state school divisions. I urge all to come and take part in this community meeting that will change our school division forever. Mission Statement: “ It takes a village to raise a child”. CFS is a group outside of the family, for better or worse, that advocates for all of a CHILD’S needs. Sincerely, Bill Smith and Community for our Schools !"!

School bank opens for sixth year Bright Futures School Bank, a partnership between Bank of Lancaster and Lancaster Middle School, recently reopened for its sixth year of operation. The program is designed to address financial literacy standards of learning, said Bank of Lancaster senior vice president and consumer education director Hazel Farmer. The school bank is staffed and operated by the students with supervision from Bank of Lancaster personnel. The bank is open every Wednesday. The banking partnership provides a way for students to save and the model provides a great work experience for students who operate the school bank, said Farmer. Students actively participate as bank managers, tellers and marketing agents. “Job descriptions are posted at the beginning of the school year and seventhand eighth-grade students, who are in good academic standing, apply by completing a job application, including references,” said Farmer. “Then all applicants go through an interview process with the school principal and a bank representative. Once selected to work the school bank, each student not only undergoes teller or marketing training, they learn about the importance of privacy, con- fidentiality and they sign a Code of Ethics. If a student is assigned to work the school bank on a day when they are sick, have a test, or perhaps a field trip, it is their responsibility to work with the school branch manager to find a replacement. These are life lessons for these young student bankers, and we are very proud of them for wanting to be a part of the program.” Bank of Lancaster also provides $1 to any student who wishes to open an account. After that initial deposit, future deposits can be as little as 50 cents. “It is not about the amount of the deposit; it’s about the discipline of learning to save on a weekly basis,” said Farmer. Students are also recognized and rewarded for saving regularly, she added. Student tellers for this school term are seventhgraders Alyssa Booth, Haydon Davenport, Jayson Gill, Chase Osborne, Desiree Saunders, Lucy Washington and marketing associate Emilie Webster. Returning as eighth-grade tellers are Lindsey Brocklebank, Destiny Carter, Rachel Hurst, Mary Frere, DeShay Smith and Sha’Niya Taylor. “It has been a personal pleasure to have been involved with this program since its inception and I know I speak for all of my co-workers who have also been involved,” said Farmer. “School banks are now opening all across the country, and we were one of the pioneers,” she said. “It was such an important step for our bank and LMS to take that for the opening ceremony six years ago, in attendance were the president of the Virginia Bankers Association, a representative from the American Bankers Association’s Educational Foundation, the chairman of the Virginia State Chamber of Commerce, and many local bank, school and county government officials. “As community bankers, it means a great deal to us to partner with Lancaster Middle School to provide this educational experience for the students,” continued Farmer. “If we can help a young person understand the importance of learning to save, we can hopefully make a difference in that child’s life. “It is our goal and our desire to help young people develop life-long decision-making skills that are needed to become effective, informed citizens, consumers, investors and employees. We commend LMS for its initiative and a special thanks to teacher Sue Forrester, who manages the program on the school side,” she said. RAL sets December workshops The Rappahannock Art League will sponsor two workshops in December at the Studio Gallery at 19 North Main Street in Kilmarnock. Painting With the Grid Evening Workshop will be offered from 6 to 9 p.m. December 4, 5 and 6, said marketing committee member Barbara Richards. Instructors are RAL award-winning artists Charles VanDenburgh and Diana Jamison. This workshop will approach oil and acrylic painting using a grid technique that enables even beginning painters to produce an outstanding work by reducing the scene to “bite-sized” easy-to-paint abstract images. All skill levels are welcome, said Richards. Abstract Painting Workshop will be offered from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. December 11, 12 and 13, she said. The instructor is award-winning RAL artist Rose Nygaard. She will present an overview covering the background history of abstract art and then give an introduction to nonobjective abstraction, said Richards. Areas to be covered in the workshop include the elements of design, use of color, texture and composition. To register for RAL workshops, call 436-9309, or stop by the gallery from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays. LHS to adopt new literature textbooks Lancaster High School is in the process of recommending English literature textbooks for adoption by the school board.

Textbooks will be on display through December 19 in the Lancaster High School media center, said Daddario. Textbook materials may be viewed from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Upon arrival at the high school, please sign in at the office, he said Feel welcome to send any feedback or recommendations to Mike Daddario at mdaddario@lcs.k12. va.us, or 462-5177. 2013 high school essay contest explores online teacher intimidation by students The Virginia State Bar (VSB) recently announced its annual Law in Society essay contest. Virginia high school students are invited to submit essays for a chance to win the competition and cash prizes. The contest is co-sponsored by the Virginia State Bar’s Litigation Section and the VSB Communications Committee, said media contact Red Coggin. The deadline for submissions is February 13, 2013. The essay contest asks students to imagine they are a legislative aide and write a law that addresses the following: “Recent news reports have detailed attempts by students to intimidate or torment teachers with disparaging Internet postings. Some of these postings include fake web sites and profiles, false accusations of inappropriate behavior, or attempts to encourage other students to join in disruptive actions aimed at a teacher. Your job as a legislative aide is to draft a law that would make such postings illegal and then write a report to a General Assembly committee advocating for the law. In your report you should anticipate the arguments of those who oppose the law and address those arguments.” All students ages 19 or younger enrolled in grades 9–12, or a home-school equivalent, are eligible to submit an essay, said Coggin. Essays are limited to 1,000 words, and are judged on how well they demonstrate the student’s understanding of the role and value of the legal system in everyday life. Entries will be judged by attorneys, judges and educators, he said. The purpose of the contest is to awaken an interest in law and appreciation of the U.S. Constitution. The first-place winner will receive $2,300 and the winning essay will be published on the VSB website. Other awards include $1,850 (second-place), $1,350 (thirdplace), and honorable mentions of $250 each. All winners receive a plaque and copy of Strunk and White’s Elements of Style. Awards will be presented in May at the winners’ schools. Contest rules and last year’s winning essay are posted at vsb.org/site/public/ law-in-society/. The Virginia State Bar is a state agency that protects the public by educating and assisting lawyers to practice ethically and competently, and by disciplining those who violate the Supreme Court’s Rules of Professional Conduct, all at no cost to Virginia taxpayers.

BusinessNews C7 .OVEMBERs Rappahannock Record Kilmarnock,VA Country Cottage launches ‘Thanks for Giving’ campaign Country Cottage in White Stone is taking a different twist on the Christmas season. Owner Pam Sawyer said she has been concerned over the years about senior citizens. Many of these seniors are widows or widowers whose families do not live in the area, said Sawyer. With today’s economy many of them are finding it hard to keep up with things and yet will not ask for help because they are afraid they are taking from others. Whether they have volunteered, worked in the area or raised a family, they have given to the community in some way and yet seem to be forgotten, continued Sawyer. That’s where the idea of “Thanks for Giving” has come from. Country Cottage is working with area churches to find seniors that could use a little help. Country Cottage will collect items to be donated to area seniors in need, she said. Items might include hats, gloves, scarves, blankets, or anything else they might need. She is also looking for children to make Christmas cards to go to each recipient, said Sawyer. “I just think that it is time that we let those who have helped make this commu- nity what it is, to know that we haven’t forgot about them and we appreciate them,” she said. “We want to be able to tell them ‘Thanks for Giving’ and brighten their days a little.” Folks are urged to stop by Country Cottage and drop off an item for these seniors. Country Cottage is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. From left, volunteers Kathy Pitts and Sukey Starkey shop at the RAL Studio Gallery’s Holiday Shop. Arlene Spencer retires at medical center Holiday Shop is open at the Studio Gallery The Rappahannock Art League’s Holiday Shop is open at the Studio Gallery at 19 North Main Street in Kilmarnock. “We not only have many of the same artists and craftsmen who have been very popular in past years, but we also have new artists who have unique and interesting items,” said marketing chairman Anne Cotter. “There are a variety of gifts to give or gifts for oneself—jewelry, cards, handmade scarves and hats, pottery, small framed art and unframed prints. Sue Ramsey, Cheryl Mihills and Maribeth Memmo have scoured the area and beyond to find quality and one-of-a-kind pieces of affordable art and crafts, said Cotter. They have presented them in a delightful and easy to shop display. The shop and gallery are open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays through December 29. They will close at noon on Christmas Eve. Arlene L. Spencer of Portsmouth, formerly of Lancaster County, recently announced her retirement effective December 31. She has been employed in government service as a civilian for 25 years, most recently as the bed management coordinator of Admissions/Dispositions Division, Naval Medical Center, Portsmouth. Spencer attended Brookvale School and graduated from Lancaster High School in 1970. She has an associate’s degree in secretarial science from Rappahannock Community College. During her career she also has worked as office manager of the Baltimore Urban League, an operator systems clerk at Rappahannock General Hospital and a tutor in the Lancaster public schools.

Local author earns praise Award-winning author Brad Parks’s latest novel has been listed among the Best Fiction of 2012 by Kirkus Reviews, a book review publication. Kirkus selected The Girl Next Door as one of the year’s top 100 books out of some 7,000 it reviewed this year. Kirkus said of Parks: “With his third featuring brash, breezy, unflappable Carter Ross, Parks propels himself to a niche shared by only a handful of others: writers who can manage the comedymystery.” The Girl Next Door was one of just a handful of mysteries to make the list, which also included novels by Junot Diaz, Dave Eggers and Elie Wiesel. “Kirkus is one of the most respected voices in the publishing world,” said Parks. “It’s a real honor to have my work mentioned alongside some of these incredible writers.” A former Irvington resident who now lives in Middlesex County, Parks is a past winner of the Nero and Shamus Awards, the only author to have won both awards for the same book. His next novel starring investigative reporter Carter Ross, The Good Cop, releases March 5. While he plans to continue the Ross series, Parks’ current workin-progress is a legal thriller set in Mathews County. It is tentatively scheduled for publication in 2014. Dehoux joins Riverside women’s clinic Janet Dehoux, certified nurse practitioner, has joined Riverside Women’s Healthcare Associates in Gloucester and is accepting new patients. Dehoux brings nearly 20 years of experience to the practice. For the past 15 years, she has seen patients at Gloucester Women’s Clinic. “I work with all age groups and enjoy seeing adolescent patients become adults and eventually mothers. I also enjoy counseling menopausal patients,” said Dehoux. Women’s health should be a priority, Dehoux said. Annual exams are not just a “pap” test but look at a woman’s whole well-being. They’re important for screening for cancer and identifying other health issues, such as elevated blood pressure and pelvic pain for patients who aren’t seeing a primary care physician. “Your risk for breast cancer and ovarian cancer go up with age. Patients 40 and over who are experiencing bloating and weight loss and who continually aren’t feeling well, should get examined,” she said. Her nursing career started with Riverside nearly 30 years ago. She credits William B. Downey, now president and chief executive officer, with helping her return to graduate school to become a certified nurse practitioner. After receiving a master’s from the Medical College of Virginia and becoming a certified adult nurse practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), she returned to Riverside for two years to work with the family practice program in Newport News. She also is a certified gerontological nurse practitioner through the ANCC. She chairs the Mathews County Department of Social Services Board and volunteers at the Gloucester-Mathews Free Clinic, providing pap smears and breast exams as part of the Every Woman’s Life program for uninsured women. 2013 Bank of Lancaster Calendar cover image by Richard Davis CUSTOMER APPRECIATION DAY Thursday, December 6th from 9 am - 2 pm All Bank of Lancaster Offices & Bay Trust Company * Refreshments Customer Appreciation Day is Bank of Lancaster’s and Bay Trust Company’s way of saying thank you for your support.

Hospital thanks employees Riverside Tappahannock Hospital got into the spirit of Thanksgiving with a gratitude reception for employees while unveiling the latest additions to the hospital’s Tree of Life sculpture. The sculpture, created by artist Sanford Werfel, features leaves, acorns, waves and stones that are engraved with a donor’s special message. Some inscriptions are dedicated to family and friends, while others show appreciation for the hospital and its mission. “I truly appreciate your willingness to give of yourselves for the benefit of the community,” said vice president and administrator Liz Martin. “It embodies our mission of caring for others as we would care for those we love.” Throughout the month of August, the hospital’s Make A Difference Fund collected employee donations of nearly $35,000, well above their original goal of $25,000 for the Fund’s Building a Better Place to Heal Capital Campaign. The campaign was created to transform the hospital by providing private rooms for patients and enhancing the delivery of health care. “The generosity of our hospital family sets a great example as we start to move the campaign out into the community,” said Riverside Foundation director of advancement Scott Brown. “Prospective donors to a campaign often want to know if the people closest to a project believe in it enough to support it and our team has definitely shown that they do.” When deer and autos collide November is the peak month for collisions between vehicles and deer. With this in mind, the State Corporation Commission’s Bureau of Insurance reminds Virginia motorists to exercise caution, especially when driving at dawn or dusk and in areas where deer are prevalent. “I encourage all Virginia drivers to be on the alert for wildlife on the highways,” said Virginia Insurance Commissioner Jacqueline K. Cunningham. “Now is a good time to contact your insurance agent or company to determine if your policy provides coverage for this type of loss.” Damages caused to your vehicle as a result of a collision with a deer or other animal typically are covered under the “other-than-collision” (also known as comprehensive) portion of your automobile policy. Keep in mind that if you have a liability-only policy, your policy does not cover your vehicle for any damages it receives in an accident with a deer or other object. One-half or more of all vehicle-deer collisions occur during October, November and December, according to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Increased development of traditionally rural and wooded areas, the transition from daylight savings time to standard time and reduced daylight hours, and increased deer activity during their October through December breeding season are among the factors that contribute to the increase in vehicle-deer collisions during the fall. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, there are roughly one million car accidents with deer each year that kill more than 200 Americans, cause more than 10,000 personal injuries and result in $1 billion in vehicle damage. To reduce the chances of hitting a deer, slow down and use caution when approaching deer. It if it too late to avoid a collision with a deer, stay in the lane and slow down as much as possible to minimize damage. The Bureau of Insurance is ready to assist Virginians with their questions regarding auto and many other types of insurance.

SCC issues caution regarding new and old investor threats The State Corporation Commission (SCC) urges Virginians to use caution when seeking safer and more profitable places to put their money amid continued economic uncertainty and a changing investing landscape. Unwary investors continue to be introduced to longstanding or emerging threats. The most recent rash of suspect offers attempts to exploit new and existing federal laws designed to promote job creation and stimulate economic recovery. Ronald Thomas, director of the SCC’s Division of Securities and Retail Franchising, urges Virginians to investigate thoroughly before investing their hard-earned money. He reminds investors that even some legitimate investment opportunities may be risky and complex and may not be suitable for a particular individual. “Be especially wary of investment opportunities that promise high returns with little or no risk,” Thomas said. “Before you invest, find out if both the salesperson ■ Holiday luncheon carry a degree of risk. s5SEOFSELFDIRECTED)2!S to mask fraud. To lend credibility to fraudulent ventures, offerers may misrepresent the responsibilities of selfdirected IRA custodians or exploit the tax-deferred characteristics of these investment products. Self-directed IRAs allow investors to hold alternative investments such as real estate, mortgages, precious metals and private placement securities for which financial and other information may not be readily available. While self-directed IRAs can be a legitimate way to hold retirement assets, investors should be mindful of potential fraudulent schemes when considering investments for their self-directed IRA. “Investors should insist on working only with licensed securities brokers and investment advisers in dealing with both traditional and alternative securities investments, and should quickly report any suspicion of investment fraud to their state securities regulator,” Thomas said.
