Commissioners to discuss USC Plan June 19
By Lynda Raines
Copy Editor
As of May 15, the Chesterfield
County Board of Supervisors had
not given the planning commission
additional time to revise the Upper
Swift Creek (USC) Plan. In order to
comply with the deadline set forth by
the board of supervisors, the planning
commission forwarded the plan to the
board with the recommendation to
deny adoption of the plan in its cur
rent form.
On May 23, the board of supervisors
voted to give the planning commission
60 more days to gather additional
recommendations from public input in
order to make revisions to the plan.

at 12:30 p.m. in the multipurpose room

Don’t mention higher taxes to residents

There is nothing quite like the men

about proposed revisions to the Upper
Swift Creek Plan could be mislead
ing. Ramsey was referring to a May 9
article entitled, “Ready or not, here it
comes, Upper Swift Creek draft plan
includes higher taxes.”
In the article, staff writer Greg Pear

Director Kirk Turner: “The possibility
of a transportation district that would

of the plan. . . It was a supplement and
served as background material.”

According to Clover Hill Supervi

“I would adamantly oppose any tax on
existing neighborhoods to support the
infrastructure for developers building

President’ Comments
President Reamy reported that several members of the board attended the
May 3 planning commission meeting
where he presented the BCA Board-approved statement opposing adoption of
the Upper Swift Creek Plan Revision in
its present form. He then volunteered
to draft a letter to the board of supervisors opposing approval of the current
version of the Upper Swift Creek Plan
Revision and urging approval of an
extension of 60 days in the planning

President Reamy will provide
recommendations for 2007-2008
priorities and asked all directors to be
prepared to offer comments and suggestions and to identify those areas in
which they would be willing to take on
a leadership role.
President Reamy also reported
a major development that is in the
works in the northwest quadrant of the
Rt. 288 and Genito Road intersection.
The proposed 196-acre development
will include multi-family residential
and a small amount of commercial
buildings. This acreage surrounds the
existing self-storage facility. Planning

Community Manager Pritz introduced Jerry Clemmer who will be running the pool concessions for the 2007

Attention Boat Owners
Have you renewed your Virginia

Many boats are not displaying the “07”

Due to a printing error of the new

for your trailer number, please mark
your trailer number in large letters and
numbers on the face of your hangtag.

after consulting

Greene says. “Also, the old post and
wire fence will be phased out in Brandermill. All previously approved post
and wire fences may remain until they
fall into disrepair. We also listened to
staff recommendations on several topics including temporary storage units
(PODs); removing holiday decorations
within a reasonable period of time;
minimum landscaping requirements;
and prohibiting inappropriate window

Approvals for fences, decks and
other items within condominium

summer — literally.
On June 1, the eighth-grader at
Swift Creek Middle School sat in a
beauty salon while hair stylist Tanya
Martin cut off 23 inches of his curly
mane, which will go to Locks of Love,
a charitable organization that provides
wigs for children suffering from longterm medical hair loss due to illness.
Michael is the son of Michelle and
Peter Pease of Spring Gate. They were
on hand for the haircut, as was his good
friend Steven Savarie who videotaped
the event.
Three years ago—on May 21 to be
exact—Pease decided it was time to let
his buzz haircut grow. Without routine
trips to the hair salon, his locks grew
and grew—so much so that when his
curly hair was stretched straight, it
nearly reached his waist.
According to Pease, during the
three years he avoided the barbershop,
folks often looked at him differently,
and some made comments. While playing football, Pease would occasionally
hear a sneering opponent say, “Cut
your hair.” On the other hand, comments from the female population were
often complimentary, “What beautiful

Hurricane season is here...be prepared
The 2007 Atlantic hurricane season, from June 1 to November 30,
is expected to be an active one, with
a total of 17 named storms. Of these
storms, nine are predicted to become
KXUULFDQHVDQGRIWKRVHQLQHÀYHDUH
expected to develop into intense or major hurricanes. There is a strong chance
that one of those major hurricanes will
hit the U.S. coast.
Even when hurricanes make landfall in other states, they can still cause
VLJQLÀFDQWGDPDJHDQGORVVRIOLIHLQ
Virginia. Tropical storms or depressions can be just as damaging or deadly
as a hurricane.
Hurricane Isabel was a tropical
storm when it entered Virginia, and
caused damage to 75 percent of the
commonwealth, making it one of the
costliest disasters in the history of
Virginia.
The personal safety of your family
is the most important aspect of hurricane preparedness. The following
guidelines will help secure the safety
of your family and property if a hurricane threatens the Richmond area
this year.
Law enforcement orders
• Follow all evacuation orders and
all instructions from police and civil
authorities. Recent hurricanes have
been unusually intense and strong: the
ride-it-out habits of years past can be
dangerous.
Secure Home & Possessions
• Board up your windows or install
shutters to prevent windows from
shattering and causing damage to the
interior of your home.
0RYHYDOXDEOHVIURPWKHÀUVWWR
WKHVHFRQGÁRRURUWRDGLVDVWHUSURRI
“safe room.”
• Move outdoor furniture and other
equipment inside and clear any debris
from the perimeter of your home, such
as tree limbs that may be close to your
home.
• Locate your gas valves, electrical
SDQHOVDQGZDWHUYDOYHVVR\RXFDQÀQG
them and turn them off if necessary.
Evacuation Tips
• Decide now where you will go if it
becomes necessary to evacuate. Select
an evacuation route. Make sure family,
friends, business associates, and your
insurance agent know how to reach you
at your new location.
• Designate an out-of-state emergency contact who can act on your
behalf if necessary while you are out
of touch.
• Make sure your car has a full tank
of gas.
• Prepare an emergency kit for your
car, including water, nonperishable
IRRG ÀUVW DLG NLW ÁDVK OLJKW EDWWHUies, radio, clothing and blankets, and
prescription medicine.
• Take important documents with
you, such as financial statements,
health insurance cards, your insurance policy, your checkbook and
credit cards and official documents
WKDW PLJKW EH GLIÀFXOW WR UHSODFH RU
inconvenient to be without.
• Make arrangements for your pets
before you leave.
Emergency Supplies
Prepare an emergency preparedness
kit for your home to include:
• water
• nonperishable food
• cooking supplies and a small
stove, along with fuel—use only in a
well-ventilated area and always store
fuel in a safe location
• paper plates, cups, plastic utensils,
paper towels
• a can opener
DÀUVWDLGNLWLQFOXGLQJSUHVFULStion medicines
• blankets and pillows
• a portable radio with batteries
DÀUHH[WLQJXLVKHU
• large plastic trash bags for holding
trash and waste and for protecting your
other supplies from water damage
• bar soap, toilet paper, and infant
supplies
• tools such as an axe, hammer,
pliers, large wrench for turning off the
gas, and screwdrivers
Remember, property is replaceable,
but your life and the lives of those you
love are not.

Beth Ager danced la macarena both
days, and the students joined in and
followed her every move.
“We served over 300 meals over the
two-day period,” says SCMS Spanish

Scherer credits SCMS faculty and
staff and parents for pitching in to
make the Cinco de Mayo celebration

“We could not have done it without

Summer HEAT
keeps study
skills sharp
&KHVWHUÀHOG &RXQW\ 3XEOLF
Schools encourages rising sixththrough 12th-grade students to
turn up the heat on academics
this summer by accessing online
resources for mathematics and
reading.
The school year ends June
15, but learning can continue
throughout the summer.
A few hours each week will
help students stay sharp throughout the summer and give them a
great start when classes resume in
September, educators say.
Students who use the selfpaced, self-directed Summer
HEAT resources will: Help keep
math and reading skills sizzling;
Engage in reading; Access the
Summer HEAT web site; Take
time to read and practice math
skills every day.
To access Summer HEAT,
please visit chesterfield.k12.
va.us, click on “Summer School”
in the upper right corner, and click
on “Summer HEAT.”
Summer HEAT offers suggested reading lists for middle
and high school students to help
LPSURYHFRPSUHKHQVLRQÁXHQF\
and vocabulary. Summer HEAT
also provides practice documents
for math classes from Algebra I
through calculus; solutions are
given in separate online documents.
Students are encouraged to attempt the math problems and then
check their answers. This can help
students identify their strengths
as well as areas where they need
improvement. To strengthen math
skills, students may also use
tutorial sites, such as “Ask Dr.
Math” that are linked to Summer
HEAT.

Chesterfield County adopts
text books for school year
7KH &KHVWHUÀHOG &RXQW\ 6FKRRO
Board has adopted new textbooks for
science, English, visual arts and health
classes for the 2007-2008 school year.
The adoption completed a lengthy
review process involving teachers;
DGPLQLVWUDWRUVFHQWUDORIÀFHSHUVRQnel; school board members; and the
community.
Regular education and special
education teachers reviewed textbooks
based on criteria aligned with curriculum, instruction and assessment
developed by Chesterfield County

division displayed the textbooks
under review in schools and sought
comments from the public. Some residents expressed concerns that middle

The Party Fairy shares the art of make-believe
Sophie Schallmo has been invited to a picnic in the Fairy Forest.

The Party Fairy owner Georgia Blair, right, and Stephanie Breen take

Miss Hattie’s garden visit often.

Copy Editor
Once upon a time, a party fairy
came to the Village at Waterford,
waved her magic wand, and created
parties, summer camps, workshops and
picnics for children. Girls who had always dreamed of becoming princesses
and mermaids and boys who fancied
themselves as pirates were granted
their wishes, and they lived happily
ever after.
Harbour Pointe resident Georgia
Blair believes in the magical power
of imagination so much that she decided to build a business around it.
The Party Fairy, located at 13566
Waterford Place, offers one-stop party
planning guaranteed to enchant any
child.
The Party Fairy offers unique
birthday parties that combine makebelieve and fantasy through costumes,
sets, and an elegant fairy godmother.
Young girls can enter the magical
world of fairies and princesses to
celebrate their birthdays, while boys
are given the chance to ride the high
seas as pirates.
Blair began creating elaborate
birthday parties for her daughter and
her friends a few years ago. The parties were so popular that she decided to
start a business and produce parties for
other children in their homes. Then she

having our own location really opens

accommodate 8 to 12 children for

PREPAREDNESS
VIRGINIA
Prepare
Fourth of July Festivities
Get a kit of emergency
supplies. When preparing
for a possible emergency
situation, it’s best to think
first about the basics of
survival: fresh water, food,
clean air and warmth.
Prepare to secure your
property and fill your car’s
gas tank in case you have
to evacuate.
Parade 10 a.m.
Plan To Evacuate
Celebrate at Brandermill’s
Your family may not be
together when disaster
strikes, so it is important to
plan in advance. How you
will contact one another?
How you will get back
together? If you’re unable
to evacuate, stay indoors
away from all windows.
