Many only know George Washington as the first President of the United States and an exemplary military leader. However, working his 8000 acre estate and farm at Mount Vernon was a part of him that was who he was. This is the second installment of Founding Father Farmers on the Sustainable Agriculture Channel to celebrate July 4th. It is also to celebrate the spirit of agriculture and self determination both born by the same passion General and President George Washington exemplified in leading our country to victory in the American Revolution.

MOUNT VERNON, Wash. (AP) - The Skagit County prosecutor has filed a first-degree manslaughter charge against the 14-year-old bear hunter accused of fatally shooting a hiker.
The charge against the Concrete, Wash., boy was filed Friday in Skagit County Juvenile Court. If convicted, he could be jailed until the age of 21.
On Aug. 2, 54-year-old Pamela Almli was shot and killed on a popular hiking trail north of Seattle. She was the first nonhunter killed by a hunter in the state in more than 25 years.
Skagit County Prosecutor Rich Weyrich said the teen failed to follow guidelines in the state's hunting safety manual, including being sure of a target and what lies beyond it.
While hunting on Sauk Mountain, the accused teen and his 16-year-old brother saw what they thought was a bear from more than 100 yards away, according to charging papers. Visibility was limited by heavy fog.
The boy told sheriff's Deputy Theresa Luvera that he watched the target through his rifle scope for a few minutes, the charging papers said.
He told his brother, "It's a bear, it's a bear," and "I've got my cross hairs on it." He shot one time with a Tikka .270 rifle at "the bear" and saw it disappear.
The charging papers note that the Washington state hunters guide states a hunter should never use a telescopic site to identify a target. Hunters are supposed to use binoculars first, then the rifle scope.
After the boy fired, the teens went to find the bear, but they found instead a person lying on the ground, court documents said. They ran to the parking area to get help from a relative who was sitting in his vehicle. He drove partway down the mountain to get a cell signal and called his wife and asked her to report the shooting.
The accused boy's lawyer, Roy Howson of Mount Vernon, told the Skagit Valley Herald he had not seen the official charging documents Friday afternoon and that the boy's family did not want to comment. When The Associated Press called his office, the woman who answered the phone said Howson had left for a two-week vacation.
"They're having a very, very hard time, and they feel for what the Almlis are going through and are going through their own pain," Howson told the Herald. "From everybody's viewpoint, it's really a tragedy, and the young man's family is really broken up."
The boy's next court appearance is set for Sept. 3.
