entered in 2012.
According to school spokesperson Kenita Bowers, the

and did not reduce local funding.
The schools’ projected $58.5
million in revenue falls short of
its $63.7 million in projected expenses.
The 2013 budget was $59 million.
The $5.2 million funding gap
is a result of decreased federal
and state funding, anticipated
flat funding from the county and
increased departmental requests.
Although Perera doesn’t anticipate any impact on personnel,
school staff will be tasked with
meeting both the students’ needs
and revenue restraints.
Perera did not make any recommendations for lessening the
gap at a School Board meeting
Friday afternoon.
The schools have budgeted
$27.69 million in local funding,
the same as the fiscal 2013 budget.
However, the Isle of Wight
Board of Supervisors had requested a budget with a 5 percent
reduction over last year’s figures.
In February, School Board
Chairman Robert Eley told supervisors Rex Alphin and Dee
Dee Darden, “There is no way we
can show a 5 percent less budget.”
Every category in the schools’
expenses has risen by 5 percent
or more, according to proposed
fiscal 2014 budget documents.
Technology department requests rose 78 percent—from
$1.35 million last fiscal year to
$2.4 million for 2014.
According to Perera, the reason for the rise in the technology

Dog abuse charges nol-prossed
By Abby Proch
Staff writer
SURRY—“I cried for two days
straight. I wanted to die,” recalled Tamira Thayne, amid
tears. “This was what they
wanted. They wanted to destroy
me and Dogs Deserve Better.”
That was part of a bittersweet
public address given by Dogs Deserve Better owner Thayne on the
front steps yesterday of her
organization’s dog rehabilitation
center.
Thayne was referring to her
Aug. 27, 2012 arrest on animal
cruelty charges after finding out
she would no longer be pursued
on those charges in Surry General District Court.
Commonwealth’s Attorney
Gerald Poindexter moved Tuesday to have the animal cruelty
charges against Thayne not prosecuted. The court agreed to nolpros the charges.
Thayne runs the Dogs Deserve
Better Good Newz Rehab Center
on Moonlight Road in Surry
County — in the former home of
NFL quarterback Michael Vick
who was convicted of federal dogfighting charges.
Thayne was charged last summer on misdemeanor animal cruelty and failure to provide adequate space charges.
Poindexter chose not to prosecute Thayne after a key out-ofstate witnessed failed to attend
court Tuesday morning.
“We have been diligent in trying to prepare for this day. Nonetheless, a critical witness is unable to testify,” said Poindexter.
Poindexter then said prosecution witnesses were subpoenaed
less than a week before the trial.
Although the charges are discontinued, they are not dismissed. Thayne can be charged
again with these crimes within
one year of the date of the original charges.

Complicated, but
it’s progress
The transportation funding plan enacted in the
closing hours of the General Assembly session is
anything but perfect, but it is vastly better than
nothing, which is what the Assembly has done for
the past couple decades as Virginia’s road system
decayed.
The compromise legislation, adopted as part of
the amended state budget, repeals Virginia’s 17.5
cents-per-gallon retail gasoline tax and replaces
it with a 3.5 percent wholesale tax on gasoline and
a 6 percent tax on diesel fuel. It increases the titling tax on car sales and adds a $200 registration
fee for fuel-efficient hybrid vehicles.
The plan is a significant departure from what
Governor Bob McDonnell proposed at the opening of the Assembly. His plan, he said, would be
revenue neutral, i.e. would not increase highway
funding until the economy improved and thus generated additional Sales Tax and until Congress
enacts a law allowing the collection of Sales Tax
by states on items sold via the Internet.
State legislators, particularly Senate Democrats, saw the tie to possible congressional action
on a new tax as particularly tenuous, and insisted
that the final compromise include language that
will allow Virginia to further increase its Sales
Tax for gasoline additionally if Congress doesn’t
act within the next two years. It’s a pretty safe bet
that Congress won’t.
If the whole thing seems confusing, that’s because it is. A straight forward increase in the gasoline tax with an inflation clause to parallel the rise
in gasoline costs would have been much simpler.
But the governor and a number of legislators
embraced the concept that because highways are
a “core function” of government, the general public, rather than motorists, should pay for roads,
and thus insisted on the Sales Tax approach.
So be it. At least, there will be, within a few
years, an estimated additional $880 million in annual funds for highway construction and maintenance and that, by any measure, has to be viewed
as progress.
The legislation also blocked the governor’s proposed imposition of tolls on Interstate 95 south of
Petersburg. Legislators representing that area
were able to get the ban included in exchange for
supporting the package.
Governor McDonnell was elected vowing not to
raise taxes, a pledge he wisely decided was unwise,
given the condition of Virginia’s road system and
the failure to find ways to fund improvements, or
even repairs, without additional money.
That he worked with a sufficient number of
moderate Republicans and Democrats to cobble
together this rather complicated package speaks
well for him and all who voted for it.
What’s in a legacy?
A lot has been said about Governor Bob
McDonnell’s legacy in recent weeks. So what
makes a gubernatorial legacy? Generally, if it’s
a positive legacy, it has been because of the ability to move the Commonwealth forward.
Governor Mills E. Godwin Jr. ensured his
legacy by successfully pushing for the creation
of the community college system, which has become a crucial link in Virginia’s higher education offerings. And to create that system,
Godwin talked the General Assembly into
adopting a state sales tax.
Governor Gerald Baliles was the last governor to successfully tackle transportation needs.
Significant road improvements began in his administration, funded by — you guessed it —
higher gasoline taxes.
Governor Jim Gilmore left a different legacy.
He rode to office promising to reduce taxes, and
succeeded in having the Assembly pick up part
of the tab for local automobile taxes. His legacy
became the $1 billion that have been pulled from
the state budget each year since then to offset
that tax.
And Governor McDonnell’s legacy will be the
$880 billion — almost what Gilmore took out —
being put back in the state budget with tax increases.

Who owns the news?
By Gene Policinski
Who owns the news?
The glib answer is “no one.”
But of course, the full answer is
more complicated than that.
Famously, news is “who,
what, when, where and why” —
the “five Ws.” That mantra was
drilled into the minds of generations of journalists, the essentials around which a news
report is constructed.
Once past those basic facts,
the complexity of the ownership issue begins.
News operations claim ownership of their reports — individual items as well as the collections that make up newspapers, broadcasts and online
sites.
Ownership can relate to a
particular account of news, the
arrangement of words, the photos, videos or sounds of events
— as in television or radio
broadcasts of sports games,
where a station or network pays
a rights fee to “own” the event.
Ownership also might be
linked to a particular means of
determining the news, as when
a court held some years ago that
the PGA owns the “news” as
reported in its unique method
of tracking where every golfer
in a tournament stands at any
particular moment in the competition.
A system has grown up over
centuries, in copyright law, to
deter mine who owns such
“news” reports — with evolving
legal definitions over time of
what can be owned, for how
long, and by whom.
Yet another evolution — involving the Internet and the
pervasive presence of mobile
devices with cameras — may
well be spurred by a fan’s cell
phone-video of the horrific
crash at a preliminary race in
this year’s Daytona 500.
The controversy involves
video taken by a fan seated near
the spot where debris — including a wheel — dropped into
spectator seats as cars collided.
A fan posted the video on

the legislators who pushed
for voter Ids upped the ante.
They amended the law so
that the voter ID you got
last year from the state will
no longer be valid. You’ll
have to show a photo ID,
and if you don’t have one,
the state will provide it, but
you’ll have to produce a certified birth certificate.
The Assembly also rejected Gover nor Bob
McDonnell’s appeal to automatically restore the vot-
ing rights of non-violent
felons who have fully
served their sentence and
paid whatever fines and
restitution were ordered by
a court.
Virginia has one of the
nation’s toughest processes
for restoration of voting
rights and the governor —
a Republican — felt it was
time to change that.
Though a majority of Virginians agree, enough of
his fellow party members
to kill the bill did not.

employed the take-down process to accomplish its stated
humanitarian goal.
There’s little question of the
ownership of scripted, planned
events where there are tickets
— from Broadway plays to professional wrestling events —
where the outcome is set in advance. The claim would seem
less solid the closer the issue of
ownership moves to the undetermined, unplanned process
and outcome of an event — a
news account of how a game
was played, or a fan’s visual
record of the winners or losers
in a car race.
And what if there’s a disturbance during a scripted play?
Does the playwright or theater
“own,” say, a video record of a
heckler’s outburst? What if a
real fight breaks out during a
staged fight at the wrestling
“match?” Is that part of the
show?
Or is it just news, with the
element of serendipity putting

reports that surround them, in

whatever technological form,
firmly in the public domain?
A free press unrestrained by
government, but hemmed in
privately by those who would
claim ownership of such unplanned occurrences, clearly is
not really free to report all of
the news as fully as it might.
At one time, the issue might
have stopped with an old observation that the free press “belongs to the man who owns
one,” as in a printing press.
But toss in the added element that we’re all now “reporters” and can inexpensively post
the news to the entire world
with a few keystrokes — and
suddenly, the real news is that
the idea of who owns the news
is changing yet again.

MASTER GARDENER
Now that we have had a taste of snow, which was great
for the soil, it is time to dream, plan and create. Once
again we can put pencil to paper and start with our plans
for the newer areas that we want to start. Let your imagination go a little wild and express yourself, after all, this
is an extension of your home. Oh, the feeling of being
able to visualize and anticipate the beautiful blooms and
their fragrance.
Close your eyes, think back upon the time that you
have walked through your grandmother’s garden as a
child, remembering her heirloom poppies, daisies, impatiens, phlox, asters and cosmos. It is time to rediscover
these old favorites and add them to your garden beds.
If you have been using your journal that I suggested
earlier, it will be easy to check back to see what your favorites were last season. It is also nice to have when you
are ordering your seeds and thinking of the array of
annuals available. Annuals are plants that are bursting
with color and energy, desperate to please you. The creation of a variety of annuals affords a wonderful array
of vibrant colors and possibilities with only a short time
to grow and flower. The project is also fun because you
are thinking short term and can be more relaxed about
this new endeavor mixing, matching and experimenting.
An annual is a plant that grows from seed, flowers and
sets seeds in one season. Most seeds are easy to germinate and there is nothing quite as satisfying as watching
the miracle of germination yourself.
On to soil preparation.: Pull up all the weeds and dig
the soil, mixing in some compost with a little Osmocote.
Now, mark out the areas where you want to plant your
seeds. I much prefer the haphazard look of annuals as I
do not like the regimented look. Annuals are not as fussy
as perennials but be sure to water them deeply during
hot spells and deadhead frequently. This will promote
more great blooms. Feeding your plants with Osmocote
every few weeks will reward you and make the plants
very happy.
Annuals fit in nicely anywhere and bachelor buttons,
cornflowers and larkspur known as hardy annuals and
can be sown in very early spring. You can plant annuals
around your deck in containers turning the area into a
show place of color. At times I close my eyes and wish
myself back in time to my Dad’s garden or even the early
1600’s to the late 1800’s. The colors and aromas must have
been simply amazing to see and smell. Now relax before
you start your projects. I have given you some more ideas
to think about. I shall pop the kettle on for my nice cup
of English tea. Happy gardening!

Oladokun’s decision to
self-publish the book was a
practical one — as a young
unpublished writer, he figured a future agent would
be more interested if he
had a sales record.
“Acrux Manor” is available on Amazon.
And yes, the Hampton
Christian High School senior is busy on his second
novel — a contemporary
young adult romance sent
in a fictional Virginia
town. He opted for a fictional town “so I’m not
bogged down by actual geography,” Oladokun said.
Oladokun’s been writing since he was just seven
years old and used to rewrite the endings of movies he didn’t like. When
Oladokun was nine, his
mom checked out “The
Lion, the Witch and the
Wardrobe,” for him at the
library. He liked it so much
that he decided he could
write books too. The first
attempt followed shortly
after and he managed
about 40 pages by the time
he was 10.
Author John Green has
provided the latest inspiration for the budding writer.
“His novels are so beautifully done. I want to be
able to do that,” Oladokun
said.
Oladokun also wants to
write novels that teens
want to read. He’s appalled
by youth literacy statistics
and figures teens are just
seeking stories that are fun
and interesting to read.

School Board member
asks for joint meeting
By Diana McFarland

Admittedly

alone, Isle of School Board
member Herb DeGroft has
requested a joint meeting
between his board and the
Board of Supervisors.
The “water has become

a two-page letter addressed

DeGroft asked that the

By Abby Proch
Staff writer
If Virginia is for lovers,
then is Smithfield for bacon lovers?
That sentiment — that
Smithfield loves its bacon—might become the
theme of the next piece of
public art to grace
Hamtown.
The Smithfield Town
Council Public Buildings
and Welfare Committee recently heard a proposal
about constructing a nearly
7-foot tall “LOVEworks”
installation that looks like
its made of giant strips of
bacon.
The issue was scheduled
for discussion last night at
the regular Smithfield
Town Council meeting.
The word “LOVE”
would be spelled out with
large strips of “bacon”—
corrugated metal and
painted to look like it just
came out of the frying pan.
“It’s not quite as big as
[the] Hollywood [sign],”
said Smithfield Tourism
Director Judy Winslow.
The
town
of
Smithfield’s newest venture in public art comes
with a little encouragement and grant money
from the Virginia Tourism
Corporation, Winslow said.
The artwork would be
built at no cost to the town,
because the bacon’s $1,200
price tag would be covered
by a state grant.
However, upkeep would
be left to the town, Winslow
said.
It would join the already-present public artworks like the porcine parade and the Lundeen statues.
If approved, the artwork
would be placed at the junction of the Route 10 bypass
and Main Street, where a
porcine statue currently
stands.
That pig statue would be
moved to another location
in downtown Smithfield,
said Winslow.
Statewide, there are already 16 LOVE artworks,
with the closest being a
travel-themed piece at the
Norfolk International Airport, and the department is
asking localities to erect
more.
Some works reflect the
history or culture of the
towns in which they are
placed.
Cardinal Point Winery
in Afton has LOVE constructed old wine barrels.
Luray Caverns’ LOVE is
made of wooden beams to
reflect the area’s notoriety
as being the “Cabin Capital
of Virginia.”
Winslow noted that Generations X and Y would love
to see something like this
when visiting Hamtown.
“Silly sells,” shrugged
council member Randy
Pack.
“I don’t have a problem
with it,” said council member Dr. Milton Cook.
Town council was scheduled to hear the proposal
Tuesday, but its decision
was not known by press
time.

well as sparking failed legislation at the General Assembly this year.
Last month, and also
acting alone, DeGroft
called for school and
county employees who
were privy to a meeting
about the disputed $1 million to receive polygraph
tests.
DeGroft’s public call for
polygraphs drew criticism
from his own Board members in a letter signed by
Chairman Robert Eley to
County Administrator
Doug Caskey.
Eley cited a newspaper
article about DeGroft’s call
for polygraphs.
“The statements in the
article are in no way the
opinions of the School
Board,” he wrote.
Efforts to reach Eley
about the proposed joint
meeting were unsuccessful.
Eley went on to cite a
May 2009 resolution by the
School Board that stated
the body could only act as
a whole by majority vote —
and has not delegated duties to individual board
members.
The 2009 resolution,
passed by a 4-1 vote, was
directed at DeGroft, who at
the time was not properly

Michael McPherson.

Is Smithfield for
bacon lovers?
DeGroft’s letter contains
a list of questions he wants
to see directed at public officials attending the proposed joint meeting — and
asked in public, according
to DeGroft.
“I’m not interested in
having a session like that,
it’s like having a trial,” Hall
said.
All of the questions deal
with the $1 million, including number five, which
asked, “were you party to
any “side-bar” conversation wherein you were told
the million could not be
spent without the BoS (sic)
approval?”
DeGroft has been concerned with the issue of
the $1 million for some
time. The issue, which
arose last summer, caused
letters from both boards to

Town sells pair of
Main Street buildings
By Abby Proch
Staff writer
The town of Smithfield
has sold both of the buildings that flanked Hayden’s
Lane
in
downtown
Smithfield.
The town sold 224 Main
St., the former Smithfield
Ham Shoppe, to Wharf Hill
Antiques owner Judy
Begland for $100,000.
The town also sold 220
Main St. to Carolyn Burke
for $100,000.
Burke, who owns the
Smithfield Gourmet Bakery, is currently leasing the
building at 220 Main from
the town to house her coffee shop.
Conversations between
Burke and the town started
in February of last year,
and before that, the idea to
sell the building was debated by town council several years ago.
The town bought the
narrow 1924 brick building
in 1974 to protect Hayden’s
Lane, the original driveway
to historic Hayden Hall.
From 1974 to 2008, 220
Main St. housed The Twins
Restaurant, operated by
sisters Martha Raye and
Alice Faye Whitley. Before
that, it had been a barbershop.
When The Twins closed,
the town rented the building to Smithfield resident
Trey Gwaltney, who opened
Miss Bessie’s Best Cookies
and Candies.
Miss Bessie’s closed in

Smithfield bought the two buildings four decades
ago to protect Hayden’s Lane and promote Main
Street business.
March 2009.
Before abandoning the
five-year lease, Gwaltney
asked the public buildings
and welfare committee for
permission to sublet the
building to Burke, a condition allowed under his
lease agreement. Council
voted in favor of the sublet
with two members dissenting, saying the property
should be put back on the
market to allow other businesses the opportunity to
bid on it. Burke took over
the lease in April 2009.
Burke said she is not
ready to discuss plans for
the space yet.
“We’re still working on
stuff,” Burke said Friday
afternoon.
As for 224 Main, it appears that will become a
women’s boutique, according to a proposal submitted
by Begland last year.
Begland’s proposal was
one of five received by the
town offering to buy or
lease the property.
Begland closed on the
property on Jan. 7.
In
September,
Smithfield Foods terminated its lease on the building, moving the Ham
Shoppe across the street to
Taste of Smithfield. At that
time, the town had to decide whether to lease it
again or sell it. They accepted proposals for either
option.
In the fall, Smithfield
2020 representative Rick
Bodson expressed concerns at town committee
meetings that, because the
building is one of two
flanking the entrance to
Hayden’s Lane, the town
should not sell it, for fear of
“losing control” over what
happens to it. He also told
council they should make
sure the new tenant is open
seven days a week, including Mondays, to ensure the
continued economic vitality of downtown.
Begland’s proposal said
the shop, which will be a
“boutique catering primarily to women,” will be
open seven days a week.
The shop will sell high-end
accessories
including
handbags, unique clothing
and jewelry, vintage linens
and textiles as well as
bears, dolls and supplies
for crafts and sewing,”
Begland wrote in her proposal.
Begland could not be
reached for an update on
her business venture.

iBooks, extexts
and others?
iBook, eTextbook, SmartBook — what’s the
difference?
•eBook — a book composed in or converted to
digital format for display on a computer screen
or handheld device, according to the MerriamWebster dictionary. Also known as e-book, eText
and electronic text.
•elearning resource tool — any learning tool
that is used via electronic technology. As examples: virtual classrooms, Internet and Intranet,
interactive CD-ROM, hand-held devices and satellite broadcast, according to school spokesperson Kenita Bowers.
•eTextbook — digital, downloadable version of
a textbook that includes the same content — text,
graphs, diagrams, etc. as a print version.
eTextbooks available for purchase in Apple’s
iBookstore are limited to publishers Houghton
Mifflin Harcout, McGraw Hill Education and
Pearson.
•iBook — both the name of an electronic book
designed for iPad users and the Apple application from which the book is downloaded to the
iPad, iPod and iPhone.
•iBook Author — an Apple application that allows users, in this case teachers, to compose their
own iBook with text, images and interactive content using an iPad.
•SmartBook — an electronic textbook that
adapts to a student’s learning patterns by asking
the student questions and gauging his or her responses.
iPad
School officials are still
reviewing how best to
bring educational content
to the iPads at the high
school level.
Though originally intended to replace print textbooks, the iPads have yet to
do so.
At a recent School Board
meeting, Lynn Briggs, the
division’s director of instructional technology, virtual learning, policy research and data management, said the schools did
not want to purchase electronic textbooks for the
iPad this past fall for “the
sake of saying we did it.”
“We are not going to
rush into something to
pacify individuals who are
waiting for us to put something on the iPad,” said Superintendent
Katrise
Perera.
Also, Briggs said, the
newest thing in electronic
education media is the
“SmartBook.”
In January, textbook

said Bowers.

Police identify alleged Jer. Park shooters
by Abby Proch
Staff writer
Smithfield Police identified alleged Jersey Park
shooters after a man came
forward, claiming he was
the target, according to
Smithfield Police.
Police responded to a
call early Thursday morning about shots fired in the
apartment complex, according to Smithfield Police Chief Steve Bowman.
A man, who did not sustain any injuries, has come
forward alleging he was the
target of the shooting, said
Lt. Patrick Valdez with the
Smithfield Police.
The man, who is not a
Jersey Park resident, alleged that he was shot at by
two, possibly three men,
after attending a party at
Jersey Park apartments,
Valdez said.

however, sometimes a book

Often the library has been
able to replace it, she said.
Recently, the Library of
Virginia approached the
Blackwater Regional Library system about digitizing many of Smithfield’s
genealogical materials,
Zukosky said.
Phillips said people
“It sounds like it was an
old grudge when we talked
to the victim,” said Valdez,
possibly about the victim
testifying in a trial.
Valdez said the men
chased the victim and shot
at him as he left the apartment complex in a friend’s
car.
Eighteen shell casings
and four bullets from two
kinds of firearms — .40 and
.380 caliber — were recov-
ered, said Valdez.
Valdez said one bullet
ripped
through
an
apartment’s living room
where two children were
sleeping. The children
were not injured.
No suspects have been
named in his shooting, and
police are awaiting lab results.
Valdez said there appears to be no correlation
between the two shootings.

“We have as much right

fact, more than Michael
Vick because we are not
breaking any laws,” she
said.
Several supporters followed Thayne’s address,
including a veterinarian
that had frequented the rehab center more than 10
times.
“I can tell you first hand
from all of my visits that
these dogs are well cared
for … I find what they do
here to be absolutely commendable,” said Dr. Leslie
Dragon, adding that as a
vet, she has a moral obliga-
building, Phillips said.
Although the library is
a public place meant for
everyone, it can sometimes
be a “dangerous place” too,
he said.
“Sometimes we don’t
like [to talk] about these
things in public,” Phillips
said.
Phillips said he was particularly concerned about
library workers because
there are usually two workers per shift and most of
them are women.

stable enough to withstand more
weight on the surface.
The magazines were mostly
flooded, but local historian
Albert Burckard was able to take
a few photos of the former missile magazines after the water
was pumped out.
The three magazines —labeled “A,” “B” and “C” each held
up to eight Nike Ajax missiles.
They weren’t nuclear missiles —
the Nikes came before those —
but were high explosive anti-aircraft missiles designed to provide
mid-range defense in the event of
an attack by the Soviet Union.
The Nike Ajax missiles were
deployed in 1953 and were placed
in strategic locations around the
country — including Carrollton.
Carrollton was one of eight bases
that made up the Norfolk Defense
Area.
Eighty soldiers lived on post,
including Wilkerson.
“When the sirens went off you
had in your mind to do your job,”
he said.
“The sirens went off a lot.”
Wilkerson’s job was to raise
the missiles from their underground magazines.
“Everything was serious,” he
said.
The Carrollton missiles were
never launched, although
Wilkerson traveled to Fort Bliss,
Texas to practice shooting them
there.
The post didn’t house nuclear
missiles — those were confined to
Fort Story, Newport News and
Deep Creek, said Burckard, who
leads tours of the former Cold
War missile site.
Carrollton ceased to be used as
a missile site in 1963. Wilkerson
was discharged from the Army,
married a local girl, Betty Warren, and settled nearby. During
that time, the post was turned
into a radio relay site for the
Army Signal Corps until 1970.
The radio relay technicians
worked in walled-off rooms located in the former underground
missile magazine “A.”
Wilkerson recently visited the
former missile magazines after
park personnel were able to
pump out the water.
There was nothing left but
mold and water, Wilkerson said.
The least changed was magazine “C,” located directly under
the skateboard park, said
Burckard.
Magazines “B” and “A” each
contained former Radio Corps
personnel rooms. The room in
magazine “B” was long ago broken into, but the one in magazine

quarterfinal.
Nathan Sivertson led
the Chargers with 20
points, and teammate Austin Rogers had 13 points.
The Patriots were lead
by Otis Williams’ 18 points.
The Chargers quickly
found themselves in a hole,
trailing 24-12 after the first
quarter. They climbed back
briefly on a three-pointer
by Rogers with 2:28 left before halftime, which lessened the Patriots’ lead, 3125.
But the Patriots soon
reeled off 18 of the next 21
points, leading into the
third quarter, to build their
lead to 49-28.
This was IWA’s second
loss to Amelia Academy
this season.
Amelia claimed a 68-35
win Dec. 28 in the Peninsula Catholic holiday tournament.
To get to Amelia, the
Chargers beat Greenbrier
Christian, 52-47, on Feb. 26
in a first-round match up in
the VISAA Division III
Tournament.
IWA’s Rogers hit both
ends of a one-and-one with
5.3 seconds left in the game.
Rogers’ foul shots preserved a 5-point Charger
lead, which his team
amassed thanks to an 11-0
run early in the fourth
quarter.
The Chargers had
trailed the visiting Gators
43-39 after Greenbrier
scored the first 5 points of
the quarter.
Sivertson was 3-for-4
from the line in that decisive stretch; teammate
Hunter Triplett added 3
points.
The Chargers out-rebounded Greenbrier 35-29,
with Sivertson leading all
players with 17, eight of
which were on his offensive
end.
Sivertson finished with
23 points. Greenbrier was
led by Klayton Inmon’s 27
points.
Isle of Wight Academy
finished the season at 21-9,
and Amelia continued with
a 33-7 record.

Scott Hopkins, 24, of Smithfield recently began the 2,180-mile walk from
Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine on the
Appalachian Trail. Hopkins graduated from James Madison University and
plans to complete the trail before starting dental school in the fall. The
first few days were cold and snowy, and this week, Hopkins will enjoy
temperatures from the high 20s at night and in the 50s during the day as
he approaches Hiawassee, Georgia. Hopkins plans to hike 20-25 miles a
day and complete the trail in four months. The average hike takes four to
six months. Those that plan to hike the entire trail are called “thruhikers” and more than 2,000 people attempt to complete the route each
year which goes through 14 states, including Virginia.

Going for the reading quiz record in Windsor
By Abby Proch
Staff writer
Quizzes don’t usually
stir excitement in students,
but at Windsor Elementary,
kids couldn’t wait to take
them in hopes of breaking
a world record.
Students spent the day
Friday trying to break the
world record for the most
Accelerated Reader (AR)
quizzes taken in one day.
The attempt at the
record is part of Read
Across America, a celebration of reading and the
birthday of late children’s
book author Dr. Seuss.
Guest readers from the
school division’s central
office and student athletes
from the high schools
treated students to a reading rally.
After the reading, students sat down at a computer to take an AR quiz in
attempt to break the record
of 3.5 million quizzes nation wide.
Students took quizzes on
their individual reads as
well as the classroom reading.
Fourth grader Che
Mullins helped his school
get one quiz closer to the
record when he successfully finished a 10-question
quiz
about
Lemony
Snicket’s “The Austere
Academy.” Mullins earned
a perfect score.
By 10:07 a.m. Friday
morning, Windsor had contributed 103 quizzes. National totals were about
726,000 and climbing by the
second.
Karen Reeder, the
school’s reading specialist,
organized the reading day
and kept close tabs on the
school’s total throughout
the day, announcing their
progress periodically.
Fifth grade students
Colton Butler and Jacob
Machner had the task of
walking guest readers to
class — when they didn’t
have their noses in their
books.
Butler and Machner,
friends and classmates, try
to one-up each other in
earning AR points.
Aside from helping to
break a record, the quizzes
also earn students points,
which they track to meet
individual reading goals.
And the two treated Friday as a day to get ahead.
Since second grade, Butler and Machner have
earned well over 800 points
apiece, but Machner has a
slight lead.
“I’m still behind him,
but not by much,” Butler
said.
Staff Photo by Abby Proch
Phil Jepson, executive director for HR/leadership development and operations, reads to a class at
Windsor Elementary School as part of Read Across America.
Points are allotted depending on a book’s reading level and how many
answers students get correct on the corresponding
AR quiz. For Mullin’s quiz
on “The Austere Academy,”
he earned six points.
Butler is a few chapters
shy of finishing Rick
Riordan’s “The Lightning
Thief,” the first book in the
Percy Jackson series.
Machner is near the end
of a book in the “Inheritance” series by Christopher Paolini.
After their current
reads, the two aren’t sure
what they’ll read next, but
they’ll be sure to keep tabs
on one another’s’ progress.
HAPPY 6TH
BIRTHDAY MADDIE!
LOVE MIMI &
GRANDADDY!

Federal cuts to cause job
losses in Hampton Roads
By Brock Vergakis
Associated Press
NORFOLK (AP) —
The military-dependent
region of Hampton
Roads will lose more
than 12,000 jobs this year
due to automatic spending cuts in the federal
budget, according to an
economic forecast released by Old Dominion
University on Friday.
The billions of dollars
in automatic cuts began
Friday, although many of
them won’t be felt for
months.
The university had
previously forecast that
the region would gain
more than 5,000 jobs this
year if the cuts didn’t
take place. The revised
forecast is based on specific details of the proposed cuts that were released by the military
branches and White
House in recent weeks.
The forecast doesn’t
estimate what the job
losses will be in other
parts of the state, although norther n Virginia is also expected to
take a significant hit.
A study released by
George Mason University last summer estimated that statewide,
Virginia would lose more
than 136,000 jobs from
defense cuts alone.
The Hampton Roads
region plays host to all five
branches of the military
and is home to the world’s
largest naval base. President Barack Obama used
the region as a backdrop to
call for avoiding the automatic spending cuts earlier
this week when he spoke at
Newport News Shipbuilding, the sole builder of U.S.
aircraft carriers and one of
two companies that produces nuclear-powered
submarines.
Vinod Agarwal, director
of
Old
Dominion
University’s Economic
Forecasting Project, said
many of the job losses
would come from government contractors in construction and the ship repair industry.
The Defense Department has also said it would
furlough its civilian employees. While members of
the military will keep their
jobs and their pay, their
training will be cut and
maintenance on ships will
be deferred, among other
things.
At a televised news conference in Washington,
Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va.,
joined a chorus of colleagues saying that the cuts
need to be avoided.
“We as a nation have always stood behind our military, stood behind our men
and women in uniform that
defend this nation to make
New Artisan Trail unveiled
WOODSTOCK (AP) —
Shenandoah County’s section of the state’s Artisan
Trail Network now has a
name and a slogan.
The trail will be called
“O Shenandoah County
Artisan Trail.” The slogan
is, “Handmade treasures,
locally grown goodness and
breathtaking
beauty
around every bend.”
The name and slogn was
chosen by residents and the
tourism office.
Willis says the “O” in
sure that they have the
overwhelming superiority on the battlefield
when we call on them to
defend this nation. That
is our obligation as a nation. With this sequester,
we will no longer be able
to do that,” he said. “
While most of the cuts
are focused on the military, eventually the economic impact would
spread into other sectors
of the economy.
“It will obviously have
a negative impact on
state and gover nment
revenues. You’re talking
about lots and lots of
jobs. These people aren’t
going to be spending
money in the economy,”
he said. “This may actually have some negative
effects on housing prices
as well.”
The forecast says the
region stands to lose
more than $2 billion in
direct and indirect spending this year.
Of that, more than
$1.8 billion is a result of
cuts to the Defense
Department’s budget, according to the forecast.
Agarwal said the ripple
effects from such spending cuts will take time.
Agarwal said if the
cuts continue into 2014,
the job losses in the region could reach 30,000.
the trail name is intended
to be reminiscent of the
song “Oh Shenandoah.”
Thirty-five sites are already registered for the
trail which promotes local
businesses, craftsmen and
artists.

Barry Vincent Gray, 53,
of 106 Marlette St. was
found dead in his home at
about 4:18 p.m. on Feb. 27.
A neighbor who had not
seen Gray for some time,
saw his body through the
window of his trailer and
called 911, Reynolds said.
Gray was not known to
have any medical issues
prior to his death, Reynolds
said is a March 1 press release.
The Windsor Police Department is awaiting results of a toxicology report
from the Department of
Forensic Science in Norfolk, but that could take up
to two months, Reynolds
said.
Reynolds declined to reveal what police observed
when they arrived at the
home, or why the death was
considered suspicious.
The Windsor Police Department will continue to
investigate Gray’s death as
suspicious, Reynolds said.
