Altered ISLE 2040 to planners
By Diana McFarland
News editor
ISLE 2040 is headed back to the
Isle of Wight Planning Commission with some revisions.
Based on resident input and
concerns by the Board of Supervisors, the planning staff has
limited urban residential zoning
to the Bartlett and Benn’s Church
intersections and has decreased
the population projections to
Growth projections trimmed and spread out
reflect historic trends rather
than the aggressive ramp-up of
new residents as predicted by the
Hampton Roads Planning District
Commission.
Rather than 27,000 – 30,000
more people by 2040, the planning
staff predicts it will be about
22,000 beyond what has already
been approved in the Newport
Development Service District,
according to Assistant Director
of Planning and Zoning Richard
Rudnicki at a joint meeting June
3 between the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors.
Of that total, about 17,700 are
expected to land in the Smithfield
and Newport area, about 3,300
in the Windsor area and the rest
scattered throughout the county,
according to Rudnicki.

Isle of Wight Academy seniors shook it
up at graduation Friday by singing Kenny
Chesney’s hit “American Kids.”
With references to “blowin’ that smoke”
and the “Baptist church parkin’ lot” the 49
members of the Class of 2015 received their
diplomas during of school’s 45th commencement ceremony.
Many graduates decorated their caps
with the names of their future colleges and
sayings, such as “Oh, the places you’ll go.”
This year’s class included three valedictorians, Christopher Hickman, Emily Hooker
and Jacob Wait, and one salutatorian, Bailey
Key.
After running through the pending challenges of college life, Key mused, “perhaps
we’ll miss this place more than expected.”

From June 3, 2014 to June 3,
The Smithfield Town Council
will likely pursue annexation,
though the areas targeted for expansion are not yet known.
The Smithfield Town Council
voted June 2 to amend a future
land use map that targets 2,221
acres outside town limits.
The land use map is part of
the town’s five-year comprehensive plan and intends to forecast
the best possible areas for future
growth.
The Town Council has the
potential to acquire those growth
areas if it chooses to seek annexation from the county.
The plan includes areas east,
south and west of town but does
not include the Gatling Pointe
communities or Battery Park as
once proposed.
Possible affected properties,
starting northeast and moving
clockwise, include: area east of
Battery Park Road that includes
the Scott farm, 250 acres; the
Edwards farm and surrounding
land bordered by Nike Park Road
to the north and Jones Creek on
the east, south and west, 483 acres;
the Route 10 entrance southern
corridor, including the Yeoman
farm, The Oaks Veterinary Clin-

change public perception.
For their part, residents have
formed a committee to help improve the safety and wellbeing of

But White and residents are
also asking for more police presence and quicker response times
— two things they say are lacking.
“Police presence would really
be a huge help to us to eliminate
the outside activity,” said White,
who says non-residents often perpetrate crime in the community.

Seward nixes Confederate
memorial flag display
By Abby Proch
Staff writer
A man wanting to put
two Confederate battle flags
at the base of a Confederate
monument at the Isle of
Wight County courthouse
was turned away.
The decision has both
angered and confused the
man who filed the application, C. W. Thomas III, first
brigade commander of the
Isle of Wight Avengers, a
chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans.
Thomas believes the
county is discriminating
against him for wanting to
put up a Confederate flag,
but the county said it has
put a halt to all public use
of county property.
“It wouldn’t have made
any difference what kind
of flag it was. It wouldn’t
have been approved,” said
County Spokesman Don
Robertson.
In May, County Administrator Anne Seward denied
Thomas’ request because
the county does not have
a policy on public use of
county land, said Robertson.
Until it does, all applications for public use of
county property will be
denied, he said.
“We can’t arbitrarily say
yes to one person and no to
someone else,” he said.
That has apparently
been happening under previous county administrations, which have signed
off on applications without
a policy to rely on.
According to Thomas, he
has never previously had to
submit an application and
has been allowed to post
flags at the monument with-
out consequence for years.
Thomas and fellow
Avengers have long posted
the 12-inch by 12-inch flags
beneath the monument
without incident until the
county began removing
them about two years ago.
At county attorney Mark
Popovich’s direction, Thomas filed a “temporary license for use of real property” application May 21 and
received cursory approval
from Popovich.
Thomas wanted to put
up the flags in time for the
Memorial Day.
When it came time for
final approval from Seward,
she was first on vacation
and then in a meeting.
Thomas then met on
May 26 with Robertson who
told Thomas that Seward

A warm welcome
to Dr. Thornton
The Isle of Wight School Board’s decision to hire
Dr. Jim Thornton as the county’s next school superintendent immediately drew criticism.
Dr. Thornton, it seems, had serious critics as
superintendent of schools in Mecklenburg County.
One of them, a disgruntled School Board member,
tried twice to get him fired. Both efforts failed, but
suffice it to say, there were disagreements surrounding his tenure.
The criticism in Mecklenburg is hard to judge
from a distance, but it appears to have been sufficient for school patrons in Isle of Wight to wonder
publicly why he was hired.
School Board members here say they investigated
the allegations in Mecklenburg and did not think
they were a bar to hiring him.
And it might be helpful to remember that Mecklenburg is not Isle of Wight. Mecklenburg lies in
the heart of Southside Virginia, where change
often follows the rest of Virginia by a half century
or more. For that reason alone, we shouldn’t be too
quick to judge from a distance.
It may also be that the School Board thoroughly
investigated Dr. Thornton’s troubles in Mecklenburg and found the allegations to be spurious, and/
or felt it had sufficient grounds to ignore those
troubles.
And Dr. Thornton has certainly been forthcoming in discussing those troubles, which he said
began when he closed an elementary school. We’ve
had experience with that discussion and it will get
you killed. Beyond that, he says a small number of
hard core critics just kept pushing.
That said, it is a disservice to the Isle of Wight
public school system and, in our view, to Dr. Thornton, for him to have been hired without the issues
being publicly discussed in advance.
In communities all across the land, the public
is today invited to meet and question prospective
school superintendents. No public office more closely impacts the public than school superintendent
and, increasingly, school patrons are demanding
that they be told who is being hired and why.
Patrons have asked the Isle of Wight School
Board to make public the finalists for the job during
both of the most recent superintendent hirings.
But the School Board has basically told the public
to buzz off.
Had Dr. Thornton had the opportunity to meet
with Isle of Wight school patrons before he was
hired, there would have been no surprises when the
School Board offered him the job.
Nevertheless, Dr. Thornton seems to be one of
the most outgoing school administrators to have
been hired here in some time and now that he has
been hired, he deserves a chance to show that his
past troubles should indeed not have been a bar to
his selection for the Isle of Wight job.
Hopefully, he will bring new energy and new
ideas to the system, and both could benefit our student population. His secret selection was a decision
by the School Board and that’s where responsibility
for any lingering doubts lies, as well as any anger
over the way in which the hiring was handled. It’s
time that the process by which school superintendents are selected be made far more public. The
position personally affects too many people for it
to continue being handled in total secrecy.
But in the meantime, Isle of Wight should welcome our new superintendent and give him an
opportunity to show that the School Board made a
wise decision, no matter how it was done.
Courthouse work complete
The refurbishing of the Courthouse of 1750,
undertaken last winter by Historic Smithfield
Inc., is complete. Broken bricks and missing
mortar have been replaced, rotted windowsills
and other trim repaired and interior plaster
repaired. To round out the spruce up, the entire
interior received a fresh coat of paint.
The old courthouse looks great. It’s open weekends, so drop by and have a look.

What’s this
costing?
Editor, Smithfield Times
How much are we as
taxpayers paying planning
consultant Michael Chandler and a Mr. Martin to
blow smoke in our faces?
The last two-hour informational meeting (no citizen
input) session, combining
some of the planning
commission members
and some of the Board of
Supervisors was a complete spin, not reflecting
or helpful to Isle of Wight
at all.
Mr. Martin, who spoke
at that meeting, admitted
he didn’t know what our
“plan” was (ISLE 2040), so
how can he direct his talk
to us? Then in the Q&A
from the members that
were present, he said our
plan is good and right on
course. What?
Our own staff spins
numbers to reinforce their
options, then stumbles
over and turns them into
the opposite. Do they all
think so little of us?

I read with much irony
the article concerning
bus driver Marie Clarke’s
complaint that she was
punished by switching
her route after she refused
to return for the granddaughter of a school board
member after warning the
child to not be tardy to the
bus after school.
I have made repeated
complaints to the transportation department
concerning my child’s
driver being late in the
mornings. The scheduled
pick up time is 6:33 but
the driver was not coming
until 6:50 or later. We are
the first pick up so she
was running an average
of 20 minutes late on a
regular basis. And just a
few weeks ago she failed
to come and pick up the
whole bus full of students.
On the several times I
spoke with the department
I was told that they knew
they had a problem but
that bus routes could not
be changed.
The other issue was
that this driver was missing a lot of days and the
substitutes did not know
the route. On the morning
of Jan. 6, the bus did not
show up to pick up my
child for school. When I
called to ask if they could
send the bus back I was
told that they could not
divert the bus and that
I needed to bring the
student in myself. When I
informed them that I could
not, as I had a scheduled
medical procedure that
I had to leave for, they
informed me that they
could not make “individual transportation arrangements” for students and
the best they could offer
me was to excuse her
absence. My only option
was to have my child call
another student on the bus
and track it down at the
next stop. Apparently we
did not rate a chauffeured
drive from the director.

As the superintendent departs
By Dr. Katrise Perera
Superintendent
Greetings, Isle of Wight
County Schools family.
Welcome to the last week of
the 2015 - 2016 School Year! We
have officially made it to the moment that we have worked hard
for — but one that I have dreaded for months. Saying farewell
is bittersweet for me as I think
back over the last four years
that I have had the honor of
serving as superintendent. I
am so proud of the amount of
progress that I have witnessed
since 2011. We have certainly
come a long way and I owe it
all to each of you. It is because
of the wonderful teachers, staff,
administrators, school board
members, students and parents
that are genuinely dedicated
to this school division that we
have been able to accomplish so
much in a short amount of time.
We raised the On-Time
Graduation Rate to 93 percent
and surpassed the state average! We maintained accreditation at all of our schools! We narrowed the achievement gaps
and raised test scores, which
allowed US to reap national and
state recognition! We earned
the ranking of 15th out of 134
school divisions in Virginia. These accomplishments
and continuous improvement
efforts reflect the perseverance
that has taken place over the
last four years. I admire how
Isle of Wight County Schools
has remained focused on improvement and finding ways
to leverage our resources to
continue our mission of preparing all students for educational
excellence. Each of you took
pride in understanding that
educating our community’s
most precious resource — our
children.
Each of you have remained
engaged in teaching and learning right up until the very end
and it shows. This year, we have
made great strides in preparing
all of our students to be successful in the 21st century through
transfor mative lear ning by
personalizing it, allowing for
problem solving, making it
relevant, making it authentic,
utilizing eLearning resources,
helping to facilitate rigorous
activities, allowing students
to be creative, and by collaborating with effective educators
across the school division. Our
iSLE21 program, our Instructional Framework, and our 2015
Strategic Plan have served as
our road map to navigate a path
that has not always been an
easy one. Whether it was state
mandates, budget constraints,
challenging each other, working
through concerns, clarifying
communication, or embracing
new technology WE met ev-
ery challenge head on — and
WE did it together. Regardless
of the school or department,
we each have a part in making a
positive difference in the lives
of all IWCS students because
we are all IWCS!
As I prepare to transition
from being a proud IWCS SHS
Packer mom to a crazy LSU
Tiger mom, I would like to take
this opportunity to sincerely
express my appreciation to all
those teachers who personally
had a hand in preparing my
daughters for their next chapter
of education. Truly, my appreciation goes to all. I will forever
value and treasure my time
here in Isle of Wight County
Schools. Words cannot truly
capture how full my heart is as
I send out this final message as
your superintendent.
For those who are retiring
this year, I want to thank you for
your years of dedicated service.
YOU have been the backbone
of this school division and WE
are better because of your dedicated service. I would also like
to thank all of our parents who
continue to be actively involved
in the education of their children.
You play a valuable role in
your child’s academics and your
support of our school division
has certainly contributed to our
success. I would be remised if I
did not included a big congratulations to the Class of 2015. This
is your moment to reach higher
and take on the global world!
Lastly — I wish each of you a
relaxing, safe, and fun summer!
Take this time to re-energize
and reflect as you prepare to
embark upon a new phase in
the pursuit of educational
excellence. I wish you all continued success — and as we say
along the bayous… ‘Til I see you
some mo!

11 included small changes to the original to give
citizens the illusion that
they were listened to, but
it still stands basically as
originally presented.
The Isle 2040 Growth
Plan is mostly targeting
the Newport District. It
appears to be splitting
the Board of Supervisors
along rural and urban/
suburban lines. The three
rural district Supervisors seem to support the
plan while the two in the
urban/suburban areas appear to oppose it, reflecting the wishes of their
constituents. If the votes
go as presently aligned,
it will result in a classic
case of NIMBY (Not In My
Backyard).
The Newport District
citizens’ quality of life
will decline and be targeted for higher taxes. Those
in the rural areas will preserve their lifestyle. Let’s
hope that the supervisors
from the rural areas vote
to support the wishes of
the citizens of the urban/
suburban districts and
keep the county united.
If the Plan is adopted,
the county administration’s next move will
be to pull the 800-pound
gorilla out of its dream
hat — the “special district
tax.” Growth is inevitable
and healthy as long as it
is managed for the benefit
of all the citizens of the
county.
Jose E. Hernandez
Carrollton
The special meeting
of the Board of Supervisors and county Planning
Commission to discuss
changes to the ISLE 2040
plan didn’t happen as
planned this past June 3.
With only two supervisors
in attendance, there was
no Board quorum. Supervisors Dee Dee Darden and
Rudolph Jefferson did stay
on as Planning Commission observers.
Planning Commission
members and attending
audience received a Power
Point presentation from
Richmond consultant Mr.
Martin on how each generation perceives work, jobs
and community.
Following this, the
county staff presented
their “new” ISLE 2040
Plan. Copies of the “new”
plan were passed out
to committee members
for the first time. Staff
presenters stated that
recent citizen input had
been carefully considered
and incorporated into the
“new plan.” Additionally, for the first time, the
presenters actually mentioned the need to include
the 460 corridor in the
county’s master planning
process. However, this
was quickly left behind
as the well-orchestrated
presentation focused on
north end of the county as
central to the plan.
Supervisor Darden added that the revised plan includes zoning changes that
are specifically intended
to prevent Smithfield from
any further threats of annexation. Really? A master
county plan that excludes
“managed growth” for its
township(s)? Don’t town
residents also pay county
property taxes?
To no one’s surprise,
the “New Plan” looks very
similar to the administration’s original plan.
In closing, the meeting
facilitator reminded the
Planning Commission
that they were running
out of time and needed to
act by June 30. I applaud
the committee members
who suggested they might
need some additional time
to review the materials
distributed to them just 20
minutes earlier.
Oh, yes! And to the
Sunday. You could spend the
day in the shops waiting.
Thousands of people
gave up the effort.
OK, that’s success. You
can only put so many people
on a small, wooden ship at
a time.
But here’s the kicker.
The Yorktown dock used
for the visiting Hermione
is so small that only ticket
holders were allowed on it.
Thousand of disappointed
visitors who couldn’t get a
ticket had to view the ship
from the shoreline, hundreds of feet away.
It would have been a
reasonable fix to have had
a military unit (there are a
few close by) place temporary barge/docks along the
waterfront to allow thousands more people a closeup look of this European
vessel that had spent the
past six weeks sailing here
to celebrate Lafayette’s importance to both nations.
In fact, there are numerous ways that a professional
event team could have handled matters better. Tickets
could have been offered in a
drawing or on the Internet,
so that those who did not
receive one could decide
whether to attend or not.
Of course, that would
not have fulfilled local government’s desire to bring
thousands of people to
Yorktown shops, whether or
not they enjoyed the visit.
At 9 a.m. Sunday, there
was a steady stream of people walking toward the waterfront from parking lots,
some a half-mile away —
and another steady stream
of people leaving the area
because they couldn’t get
tickets!
As late as noon Sunday
— the “slow” day, remember — southbound traffic on
Hwy. 17 was backed up for
several miles north of the
Coleman Bridge with families headed toward Yorktown to see the Hermione.
York County is probably
celebrating the success of
its venture this week. It
should be apologizing to the
thousands of people who
didn’t even get a clear view
of the Hermione.
And it owes the French
organizers of this very
expensive good-neighbor
venture a sincere apology
for making the ship’s first
port of call something of a
disaster.
‘New’ plan
like the old
planning commissioner
who recommended that all
county employees working
on the “New” ISLE 2040
Plan be given an immediate pay raise, please feel
free to personally donate
those required funds.

That’s roughly the history. Now, enter York County,
which was to play host to
the Hermione on its first
American stop.
The county arranged to
have Revolutionary War
re-enactors, the Jamestown
ship Godspeed and Governor Terry McAuliffe participate in what would be a
grand salute to the French.
(No doubt, county officials also thought it would
be a cool way to get a lot of
people to visit the newly
completed Yorktown waterfront with its numerous
shops and eateries. That’s
called tourism.)
What the county didn’t
plan on was the crowd that
would be seriously interested in this visiting vessel and
its international diplomatic
role. At 9:15 on Sunday
morning, which was the
final — and predicted to be
the slowest — day of the
event, free tickets to visit
the Hermione on the waterfront had already been
given out to people who
arrived as early as dawn
to get them. A few tickets
remained for mid to late
In response to the
letter by Dave Lyons: As a
native of Smithfield and
Isle of Wight and resident
for 75 of my 78 years, I do
not believe he has a clue
what our community was
like 60 or 70 years ago.
On Main Street in Smithfield, we had two banks,
two drugstores, three full
service gas stations, three
or four grocery stores,
three car dealerships, two
hardware stores, two department stores (that also
carried sewing goods and
shoes), three or more barber shops, two shoe shops,
three dry cleaners, a 5&10
Cent store and a mecca
for kids called “Dick
Chapman’s,” where we
learned economics — buy
comic books for 10 cents,
sell them back for 5 cents.
Yes, we even had a movie
theater and a couple of
restaurants.
We did not have to go to
the city for our needs. A
couple times a year would
suffice. We did not have
a need for huge police
departments in the town
or the county. We lived in
a safe environment where
kids walked to school or
to the movies without parents fearing. For the most
part, we did not ever have
locks for our doors; they
were not needed.
What happened to
our community? They
removed the toll from the
James River Bridge and
people began to realize
what we had. They flocked
to the county for the
peace and quiet and rural
atmosphere. That is what
still draws people to the
area. Unfortunately, those
people expected big city
amenities as well as the
rural life. We have become
a tourist mecca for visitors and in the process
must now go to the cities
for our most basic needs.
Yes, I am old and old
fashioned, but what is the
price we have had to pay
for what Mr. Lyons calls
progress? The price has
been dear and is increasing every year. I for one
would like our old community back.

‘Newcomers
Guide’
I picked up a copy of
our county’s new “Newcomer’s Guide” yesterday
and was very surprised to
read that our local government can solve all of our
problems and answer all
of our prayers!
Well, almost.
First, the map of the
election districts is wrong.
It puts most of Rushmere
and a good chunk of the
Hardy District voters into
Carrsville. There goes
our “majority-minority”
district that we labored so
intensely to get right.
And there are apparently no churches or
religious groups in the
whole county. No Chamber
of Commerce, no civic
associations, or Ruritans
or Lions Clubs or Masons
or Kiwanians or historical
societies or home schooling opportunities or medical facilities or retirement
homes or rehabilitation
facilities. No Commission
on Aging, no health clubs,
no YMCA, no County Fair,
no historical attractions,
no golf courses, no boat
ramps or marinas, no
museums, no DMV, no post
offices or philanthropic
foundations or even political parties.
But there is “government” and lots of it! Three

Even though our local
newspapers each year
print (and offer free) a
comprehensive guide that
includes all those silly
non-government things
that our new “Newcomer’s
Guide” lacks, I guess our
“County Staff ” thought we
needed another one that
eliminates all that pesky
business, religious, social
and private sector stuff.
And curiously, this new
“guide” is three pages long
with the last page blank,
even on-line.
Oh, and by the way, this

by your local government
at your (taxpayer) expense.

On a recent walk at Lonestar Lakes we encountered
two black snakes. Same species, right? Not so. One was
lighter on the stomach and looked scaly as well as being
chunkier. I knew that in our area we have both black rat
snakes and Northern black racers, so which was which?
I’ve never been able to tell the difference, so I set to do
some investigation.
The Northern black racer — “Coluber Constrictor” —
is a common shiny black snake found all through Virginia.
There’s a little white on the chin and throat, but basically
they’re shiny black all over. They grow to a length of 60”,
and are usually slender and very fast. The cross-section of
a black racer is almost totally round. Quick to flee, these
snakes fight fiercely when cornered and will climb a bush
or small tree to escape. While the Latin name leads one
to believe they squeeze their prey to death, in fact they
basically hold and smother them.
The black rat snake — “Elaphe Obsoleta” — is also
found throughout the state. It is a much stouter specimen.
While the chin is white, the belly is usually cream-colored.
This snake is heavy-bodied and longer — up to 72”, and
its cross-section looks like a loaf of bread, flat on the
bottom, rounded on top. It is a true constrictor, squeezing
its prey to death.
Both species prey primarily on rodents, but will also
eat birds, frogs and lizards.
Both species are found in grasslands and woodlands,
especially around barns or woodpiles.
Both species are checkered or variegated when young,
then become more uniformly black when half-grown.
Anecdote: About 10 years ago I watched a black snake
climb a medium pine tree, slither out on a limb and dine
on a family of doves in a nest. Rat or racer?
Answer: Black rat. They have rougher scales and are
far better climbers.
Anecdote: About 20 years ago my son and I encountered
a lengthy specimen simply hanging from a small tree,
about five feet off the ground. Black rat or racer?
Answer: Rat. Racers can climb like that, but usually do
so only when threatened.
Anecdote: Last week, when we encountered the two
snakes, the first one, about 4’ long, reversed direction and
quickly disappeared in the woods along the road in one
swift movement. The second snake froze as we approached,
its 5’ body a series of tight s-curves. After a while, it leisurely turned away and slowly entered the brush. Which
was the racer?
Answer: The first one, whose speed and slender double
S-curve differentiated it from its chunkier counterpart.

The Accident Wasn’t my Fault
By Dr. Robert Wallace
Creators syndicate
Dr. Wallace,
Last week, while on a date, I was involved in a minor
automobile accident while driving my dad’s car. I was
stopped at a red light when some guy smacked into
the car. This guy didn’t have any insurance and didn’t
have a job. He also had no money. When my dad had the
damage estimated, it was $800, and his insurance covers
everything but $200.
Now my dad is telling me I should pay the $200. I don’t
think I should have to because the accident wasn’t my
fault and there was nothing I could have done to avoid it.
Who do you think should be responsible for the $200,
my dad or me? I could pay the money because I have
$1,000 in a bank account that I saved up from summer
jobs the last two years. But I need that money to buy my
own car next year.
— Kenny, St. Louis, Mo.
Kenny,
It seems a bit unfair, but you borrowed the car and
should be responsible for all damages to the automobile
not covered by insurance while the automobile was in
your possession. Besides, you might want to continue
borrowing the family car in the near future, and your
chances will be much better for a favorable answer if
you produce the $200.
Dr. Wallace,
My best friend and I are very good students and many
times we finish our assignments faster than the rest of
our classmates. Because of this, some of our teachers
use us to run errands for them. Because we are asked by
the teachers to help, some of our classmates are calling
us “Teacher’s Pet” and “Goody Two-Shoes.” This is really getting us upset. It’s no fun being called a teacher’s
pet. Please tell us how to handle this type of problem.
— Nameless, Nashville, Tenn.
Nameless,
Those who call you and your friend names are very
envious, and if given the opportunity, would gladly
change places with you and your friend. If some of your
classmates continue to call you names, just smile and
move on. Do not attempt to defend your actions by arguing with the name-callers. That’s exactly what they want.
Dr. Wallace,
I’ll be attending a new high school in the fall, and I
want the kids at my new school to like me. I am fairly
well-liked by the kids at my school now, but I want to be
popular at the new school. What should I do?
— Eager, Phoenix, Ariz.
Eager,
I feel one of the more important features in being
well-liked and popular is to have a “radiant” smile that
is displayed regularly. Also, be a good listener, and when
you do talk, say nice things about your new friends
and the school and very little about yourself unless
someone asks.
Get involved in school activities early in the school
year. Join the clubs that interest you, and attend as
many plays, musicals and football games as you can.
But remember — smile!

Pierceville
opposition
In late April, members
of the Town Council,
our town manager and
planner, and the Planning
Commission were provided with the Smithfield
Historic District petition
that specified numerous
concerns with a proposed
real-estate development of
the 300-year-old Pierceville
Farm. That Petition mirrored an earlier document
to the town from residents
of Goose Hill Creek subdivision. To date, the only
responses have been angry,
threatening e-mails from
two Council members, and
a brief, polite note from
the town manager apprising the current status
of the Developer’s pathway-to-approval. That note
failed to disclose a critical
early March meeting of
the Planning Commission,
at which zoning changes
to the Future Land Use
Map of the Comprehensive
Plan were being proposed.
Fortunately, a number of
Goose Hill and Historic
District residents were
able to respond and provide public comment on
short notice.
We Petitioners have
continued to meet with additional Historical District
residents and downtown
business owners — our
signatories stand at 125plus and growing daily.
The vast majority do
not want the Pierceville
Project to move forward
unless/until specified concerns have been addressed
dispassionately, thoroughly and truthfully. When I
met with Mr. Saunders,
our town planner, in April,
he informed me that Mr.
Stephenson and members
of Council acknowledged
the strong opposition of
Goose Hill and Historic
District residents as communicated at the March 10
meeting of the Planning
Commission. Mr. Saunders
advised that more time
was needed for “other
voices to be heard.”
Hopefully, it is not
lost on Town Council or
manager that several of
the leading downtown
business owners have
expressed no interest in
accruing more sales at the
expense of Pierceville’s
unwarranted over-development. We hope our elected
officials take note of the
people who cast their votes
for them in the first place
and will support residents’
requests to find more viable alternatives than are
currently being pursued.
Pierceville is zoned “Parks
and Recreation/Community Conservation” in our
current Comprehensive
Plan. No one has yet put
forth a cogent argument
of why that needs to be
changed.

Smithfield
Thoughts on
this and that
It has been some time
since my last observations
about life in Isle of Wight
County. So here goes. I
read an article by the
Windsor Town Manager
about buying local by the
Windsor residents yet, at
the same time, he hired a
caterer from Smithfield for
an effort he was pushing
in Windsor. Maybe there
is no one in Windsor that
could have provided the
service he wanted. But, he
could have at least given
the local restaurants a
chance to compete for
the business. This being
particularly so as he was
sounding off for the local
residents to buy local
before going to the big box
stores in Suffolk with their
business.
I see where most of
the politicians have
come out against the
current version of the
new 460 bypass around
Windsor and stopping just
beyond Zuni. Gee, I think
VDOT should just expand
the current 460 roadway
from four lanes to ten
lanes plus turn lanes and
remove all traffic signals
for the entire length of the
expansion. While everyone has their own opinion
about this project, mine
makes as much sense as
what I have heard the politicians spout.
I saw in The Smithfield
Times where someone
reminded the supervisors
that during the last election most of them were for
expanding the number of
supervisors from five to
seven, that is, until they
got elected. Of course
these are the same supervisors who were going to
hold taxes down, then gave
us the largest tax increase
ever. They even hired a
county administrator who
does not live among us but
resides in Surry County.
We also have a school
board that instead of
listening to the voices in
Mecklenburg County, just
had to have their superintendent. However, we are
getting better, or so I’ve
been told.

Voting for
McCarty
I live in Gatling Pointe.
Last week, thanks to
your paper, I became
aware of another Isle of
Wight County project that
could/would have major
increased expense implications for my community,
the Newport District and
the citizens of Isle of
Wight County.
In the article, current
Isle of Wight County
Newport District Supervisor Buzz Bailey was asked
about the details of the
water line project, its cost
and rationale, and according to your reporter, his response was that he didn’t
know anything about it.
It is important for all of
us in the Newport District
to make sure that we vote
this November to elect a
new supervisor who is
committed to knowing the
facts of what is happening
in our county and who will
make sure the interests
of constituents are not
ignored. This is why I will
be voting for William McCarty as our next Isle of
Wight County Supervisor
in the Newport District.

Support for
survivors
The YMCA offers a 12week program for cancer
survivors that is free of
charge and includes family members that reside in
the same residence. This
program is run by Connie
Chapman and staff members specifically trained to
work with these individuals. The two ladies that
work with the program are
Tonya Jones and Michelle
Armstrong.
I participated in the
program with my son,
Andrew, who is recovering
from a stem cell transplant. The support that is
offered not only with the
staff but by the others that
participated in the class
has been an important
part in his journey toward
recovery.
The program offers
encouragement to the
participants and care from
everyone dedicated to
make sure this program
is a success. I cannot
express how thankful I am
especially to Tonya and
Michelle that worked with
Andrew to make him feel
like he was like any other
young adult, not someone
with an illness.
This week is the end
of the 12 weeks and there
will be a graduation on
Thursday. I would encourage anyone that is a
cancer survivor to go to
the YMCA for additional
information and consider
signing up for the next
class.

Smithfield
Parties have
obligation
Local political parties
seem to forget about the
upcoming local elections
and fielding candidates
to appear on the ballot.
Evidently, they must be
earning points toward
the national election and
not focusing on their
responsibility toward local
elections.
With the local constitutional officers drawing
salaries in the six digits, it
should not be hard to field
candidates interested in
these positions, especially
in the offices of commissioner of revenue and
treasurer, which require
minimal qualifications.
These offices have reduced
workloads since state
income taxes are filed
online directly to the state
and vehicle decals were
abolished. Assessments
are now done automatically from DMV records.
I would like to exercise my right to vote,
and would not like to see
unopposed candidates. I
believe the local political
parties should try harder
to field candidates and
instruct them on the filing
dates, etc. If they choose to
be lax and not do this, the
least they could do is put
themselves on the ballot.
In fact, it should be a requirement for taking local
positions in the party that
they field local candidates
or file on the ballot themselves. Come on political
parties. Allow the people
the right to exercise their
vote on local elections.

A boat ramp for Smithfield SMITHFIELD POP

Can’t call? Text 911 instead
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile,
and Verizon Wireless customers in Isle of Wight
County can now send a
shor t messa g e service
(SMS) text message to 911
for emergency help when
unable to make a 911 call.
This service will be available to any of the aforementioned wireless customers
within range of an Isle of
Wight County cell tower.
Text to 911 is intended
primarily for use in two
emergency scenarios: for
those individuals who are
hearing impaired and for
those unable to make a
voice call, for example,
during a medical emergency that renders the person
incapable of speech, or in
the instance of a home invasion or abduction.
Only 25 percent of public
safety answering points
in the United States offer
this service. Isle of Wight
County was able to make
this improvement to its
E911 system without any
additional cost to taxpayers.
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile,
and Verizon Wireless customers in Isle of Wight
County should keep the
following in mind if they
send a text to 911:
•Customers should use
the texting option only
when calling 911 is not an
option.
•The texting function
should only be used for
emergency situations that
require an immediate response from police, fire
or emerg ency medical
services. Non-emergency
issues should still be communicated to the County’s
Emergency Communication Center through its
non-emergency line at 3572151.
•Using a phone to call
911 is still the most efficient
way to reach emergency
help. Texting is not always
instantaneous, which is
critical during a life-threat-
ening emergency. It may
take slightly longer to dispatch emergency services
in a text to 911 situation because of the time involved:
someone must enter the
text, the message must go
over the network and the
911 telecommunicator must
read the text and then text
back.
•Providing location information and nature of
the emergency in the first
text message is imperative, since the York-Poquoson-Williamsburg Emergency Communications
Center will receive only an
approximate location of
the cell phone, and will not
be able to speak with the
person sending the text.
Text abbreviations or slang
should never be used so that
the intent of the dialogue
can be as clear as possible.
•Customers must be in
range of cell towers in the
Isle of Wight County area.
If customers are outside or
near the edge of the county,
the message may not reach
the County’s Emergency
Communications Center.
•Texts sent to 911 have
the same 160-character limit as other text messages.
•Wireless customers
who use Usage Controls
should remove the Usage
Controls feature to ensure
full text to 911 capability.
•Wireless customers
must have mobile phones
that are capable of sending text messages. Any
text message to 911 will
count either against their
messaging bundle or be
charged at the wireless provider’s rate. Provider plans
with unlimited texts as part
of their plans, include text
to 911.
•The solution may not
be available for third-party
text messaging applications that can be downloaded to the phone or for
applications that do not use
SMS technology.

Isle of Wight growth
1.02% since last census
By Abby Proch
Staff writer
Since the 2010 U.S. Census, Isle of Wight County’s population has grown
1.02 percent, making it the
fourth-fastest growing locality in Hampton Roads.
The county’s population
is estimated at 36,007 as of
July 2014.
Isle of Wight’s growth
has steadily increased since
2010, though it has been
significantly slower than
the 1.78 percent per year
growth experienced from
2000 to 2010.
Still, the growth is on
par with one population
projection.
The Virginia Employment Commission’s 1993
population projections
came sufficiently close to
predicting Isle of Wight’s
population in 2010.
It projected 34,283 people; and census estimates
recorded 35,270.
Projections are made by

Words of Encouragement
We live in a day and in a culture that tries to minimize fathers.
Turn on many of the popular sitcoms on television today and the
father is often viewed as the comic relief of the show. Dad is just
there but not involved with the things of the family. This depiction
is sometimes funny on television but oh so sad if this is the case in
real life. Fathers are so important in the development of their
children. The Bible is clear that Fathers are to be spiritual leaders
in the home. The Bible has much to say about both our earthly
fathers and God our heavenly father. Consider the following
verses. Psalms 103:13 As a father shows compassion to his
children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him.
Proverbs 23:24 The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice; he
who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.

Consultant says millennials want density
News editor
Prior to learning about
the revisions to ISLE 2040,
the Planning Commission
and two members of the
Board of Supervisors were
treated to a presentation
about viewing the future
through a generational lens.
Board Chair man Rex
Alphin and Smithfield Supervisor Al Casteen were-
out of town, while Newport
District Supervisor Buzz
Bailey was unable to make
the meeting.
John Martin, president
and CEO of the Southeastern Institute of Research,
was invited by Windsor
Supervisor Dee Dee Darden
and County Administrator
Anne Seward to discuss
the issue in relation to the
county’s future.
Martin said the proportion of residents age 65 and
older in Isle of Wight County is going to increase from
10 percent to 20 percent by
2030.
At the same time, he
said, Isle of Wight needs

Dominion sues
for gas line route
RICHMOND (AP) — Dominion Resources has filed
lawsuits against 27 Virginia
landowners it says haven’t
allowed surveyors to access
their property for a proposed natural gas pipeline.
In a news release, Dominion announced Wednesday that the lawsuits are
the first of what could be
more than 100 separate
complaints filed against
landowners Dominion says
are legally obligated to allow surveyors to enter their
properties, which are along
the Atlantic Coast Pipe-
line’s proposed route.
Dominion and three energy partners are proposing the $5 billion, 550-mile
pipeline to carry natural
gas from West Virginia
to southeastern Virginia
and North Carolina. Proponents of the pipeline,
including Democratic Gov.
Terry McAuliffe, said it
will be a boost for Virginia’s economy.
Opponents say the proposal could decrease property values and disrupt historic and environmentally

Martin pointed to Portland, Ore., Austin, Texas
and Denver, Colo., as cities that have successfully
made that leap to being a
“creative” workers hub for
millennials.
Millennials want smaller living spaces, more public areas and higher density,
he said.
They don’t want cul-de-
sacs and they want to ditch
the automobile, he said.
To attract creative millennials, a community
needs to first create a great
place, which will attract
the people, who will attract
the employer and results
in a growing community,
Martin said.
Otherwise there will be
regional winners and losers
in future, he said.
ISLE consulting is
$100 an hour
State-level planning consultant Dr. Michael Chandler has made four appearances in Isle of Wight
County with regards to ISLE 2040 at $100 an hour.
Chandler appeared before two Planning Commission meetings, the citizens’ input session and again at
the joint meeting between the Planning Commission
and the Board of Supervisors.
Chandler was at the last two meetings to answer
questions by the Planning Commissioners or Board
of Supervisors relative to the public input sessions,
said Isle of Wight County spokesman Don Robertson,
adding that Chandler hasn’t yet submitted an invoice.

west of town bordered by
and including Smithfield
Lake on the north, Waterworks Road to the east,
Courthouse Highway to the
south and Smithfield Dental
to the west, 166 acres.
At the end of the June
2 meeting, Councilman Dr.
Milton Cook suggested the
Town Council move ahead
on annexing some of the
areas outlined in the growth
plan and asked Town Attorney Bill Riddick how to
proceed.
Riddick said the Town
Council can discuss establishing a timeline at its
June 23 committee meeting.
The approved growth
plan provides for 4,4376 to
7,310 new homes built at 3-5
homes per acre.
However, zero units per
acre is “perfectly acceptable,” said Councilman
Randy Pack.
Pack said the town has
the ability to retain green
space and create a buffer
between itself and the county’s development slated for
the Nike Park Road area,
dubbed ISLE 2040.
The county continues
to push its ISLE 2040 plan
that, though recently scaled
back, provides for concentrated residential and some
commercial growth in Carrollton along Nike Park
Road.
“We can control our
growth,” said Pack.
Cook said the plan gives
everyone a good glimpse
into the town’s future not
just 10 years from now, but
20 or more years ahead.
“I think this council is
equipped and this town has
the right people and the
right mindset to do the right
things,” said Vice Mayor
Andrew Gregory.
The town’s Planning
Commission and Town
Council review the comprehensive plan every five
years but specifically reviewed and amended its
land use map after the county reneged on a land deal
that would have added the
Scott farm off Battery Park
Road into town limits.
The developer for that
land, Napolitano Homes,
requested to be within town
limits to simplify business
transactions, as it already
owns another plot of land
with town limits it plans to
develop.
If the town pursues annexation, it may be the last
time it can do so for the next
decade.
Contested annexations
come with a 10-year moratorium, and support from
the county is not expected.

Rober tson confer red

Thomas to tell him she denied his request.
“We don’t have a policy

one to treat everyone fairly,” said Robertson on the
voicemail recording.
Thomas’ request has
actually gotten staff to begin drafting a policy, said
Robertson.
Robertson expects the
policy to go before the Board
of Supervisors for consideration in the coming months.
He said that county property with existing policies,
like Boykin’s Tavern, will

Riggs said she and her
residents have no ill will toward the police department
and “respect and revere”
their service.
Diggs declined further
questioning further comment.
Keeping JP safe from
the inside
Residents have taken
their wellbeing into their
own hands by forming a
committee tasked with
keeping an eye out for suspicious people, holding events
to promote unity, and offering education and outreach
services.
President Ira Robertson said the community
wants to rely less on police
to make their community
safer.
So far, the complex has
instituted a curfew for juveniles, said Robertson.
Rober tson said that
works for residents’ children, but there are often
kids from other neighborhoods that linger beyond
curfew hours.
Robertson suggested a
town- or county-wide curfew for all juveniles, but
Bowman won’t pursue it
because he says it would
be a “kneejerk reaction to
isolated incidents.”
Robertson is also working with outside agencies to
bring in parenting classes
and counseling sessions, as
well as to provide field trips
to children who might not
otherwise have the chance.
“Changing children can
change the tone of the community,” she said.
The committee has discussed offering CPR classes,
meeting with local businesses about deterring and
solving crimes, and working with the school system.
Since the committee
formed, each buildoing has
a designated person to look
out for suspicious activity.
For her part, White is
trying to keep out the bad,
including evicting her own
residents who break community rules.
“I’m handing out evictions like candy,” said
White, who said she issued
four evictions June 3.
In the May 14 shooting,
one of the shooters had
accompanied his mother
to a Jersey Park apartment
where she was getting her
hair done.
That mother has since
been evicted, said White.
Because of increased
lighting, video cameras,
good policing and concerned residents, the neighborhood has gotten better,
said Bowman.
Residents came forward
in the most recent shooting
case to supply information
that led to three arrests in
under 24 hours, he said.
SAVINGS
2015, the department conducted 470 patrol checks
in Jersey Park and Woods
Edge apartments, two complexes joined by Wrenn
Road.
That means an officer
drove through or walked
the complex to check on
residents’ wellbeing more
than once daily.
“That’s absolutely more
than any other neighborhood,” said Bowman.
Of ficers also attend
Jersey Park’s homework
station about twice each
month and have played basketball with kids, he said.
Those appearances are
also more frequent than in
any other neighborhood,
he said.
At the town meeting, residents criticized response
times to a rescue call on
May 10 and a shooting call
on May 14.
However, both calls reflect the department’s townwide average response time
of 2.87 minutes.
White told the Town
Council it took 28 minutes
for rescue to arrive on scene
when called about a 58-yearold woman suffering from
breathing problems.
The woman later died.
Dispatch records show
the call came in to the dispatch center at 2:20 p.m.,
and Carrollton’s Volunteer
Rescue Squad responded
and arrived on scene at 2:30
p.m. Smithfield’s squad was
already on another rescue
call.
Smithfield Police Officer
Danelle Wright, having
been dispatched separately
at 2:27 p.m., arrived at 2:29
p.m.
As for the May 14 shooting, that response took just
three minutes.
The call came in to dispatch at 6:28 p.m. and Officer Rendall Howell arrived
on scene at 6:31 p.m., changing the location from Jersey
Park to Hearn’s Bait Barn,
where he provided first aid
to a man with a gunshot
wound to his neck.
Bowman, who was off
duty and at home, was dispatched at 6:38 p.m. and arrived on the scene less than
four minutes later.
Bowman said he received
a call from the Carrollton
Volunteer Fire Department
the following day regarding
Howell’s efforts that poten-
tially saved the man’s life.
Trespassing ban
White keeps a binder
bursting with more than
130 records of people she’s
banned from Jersey Park
Apartments.
White used to have muscle behind the ban under
the leadership of former
Smithfield Police Chief
Mark Marshall.
Marshall left to become
county sheriff in January
2012 and that’s when White
said police enforcement of
the ban stopped.
Bowman said police
stopped enforcing the ban
at the end of 2011 and before
his arrival in March 2012.
The custodian of the
records took a job with the
Sheriff ’s Office and, around
that time, the courts told
the department that the
process of police enforcing
the ban was defective, said
Bowman.
According to Bowman,
the police can only remove
a trespasser by court order
because the complex is private property.
“I’m not going to violate
someone’s constitutional
rights in the enforcement
of a trespass ban,” said
Bowman, saying he doesn’t
want to run the risk of officers unlawfully stopping
residents, especially based
on potentially out-dated
information
If she wants to enforce
her ban, White has to seek
a warrant on her own, he
said.
T h a t wo u l d i nvo l ve
White coming to the police
station, filing a criminal
complaint, and having it
transferred electronically
to a magistrate, who could
issue a warrant for arrest,
said Bowman.
The ban includes people from across Hampton
Roads, including residents
from Woods Edge, the complex that shares an entrance
with Jersey Park.
White complained at the
Town Council meeting that
Woods Edge Manager Dee
Riggs doesn’t cooperate
with her in attempting to
stop criminal behavior.
Riggs said White rallied
against her at the meeting
while she was on vacation
and could not defend herself or her community.
“It was disappointing to
learn that Ms. White orchestrated a community meeting, to include residents of
Woods Edge, without any
notification to this office,”
said Riggs in a statement
Friday.
White may have certain
rules at Jersey Park, but
Riggs maintains individuality.
“The close proximity
of Woods Edge and Jersey
Park Apartments does not
dictate any deviation from
management operations
that must follow our lease
agreements, program compliance and Federal Fair
Housing laws,” said Diggs.

Social Security numbers
are available on warrants
By Diana McFarland
News editor
With the rise of identity
theft and fraud, the Commonwealth of Virginia has
enacted several laws to protect personal information,
such as Social Security
numbers.
However, there remains
at least one area where
the public has access to an
individual’s Social Security
number — criminal court
documents. Those include
felony and misdemeanor
charges made by law enforcement, as well as criminal complaints filed by one
person against another.
Warrants and criminal
complaints are filled out on
standard forms that ask for
the Social Security number,
date of birth, address and a
physical description of the
person.
Sentencing orders and
revocations also contain
the date of birth and Social
Security number of the
individual.
Those documents, in
turn, are available by request or on public access
computers, depending upon
the court in which they’re
filed. The information is
not included on the Virginia
Courts website, however.
That site only provides the
town or county in which the
person resides, no Social
Security number and only
a partial birthdate.
Everything is public record in the general district
court clerk’s office, said Isle
of Wight County General
District Court Clerk Keith
Daniel.
Anyone can come in to
the office and ask to see
those documents, she said,
adding that her office is not
allowed to alter or change
any information, such as
redacting Social Security
numbers, on documents
that come to her office.
The Isle of Wight Circuit
Court Clerk’s office has a
public access computer that
allows the public to search
criminal cases, many of
which contain documents
with the Social Security
number, address and date
of birth of individuals.
Included in those may be
misdemeanor cases that
were appealed and resolved
in circuit court.
The public access computer contains cases since
2012. Prior to that, individuals would have to go to
the actual paper file, said
Deputy Circuit Court Clerk
Wanda Wils.
The Code of Virginia
prohibits access to Social
Security numbers except
by law enforcement officers
and the courts. The courts,
in turn, must provide public
access to a number of documents because they are
considered public.
Court documents of a
civil nature do not include
Social Security numbers.
Law enforcement officers
do not include the Social Security number on traffic offenses, but instead use what
is commonly called the “T”
number. The Virginia De-
partment of Motor Vehicles
was required to stop using
Social Security numbers on
new and renewing driver’s
licenses after July 1, 2003.
If the person doesn’t
have a “T” number, however, officers use the Social
Security number, said Col.
Alonzo Howell with the
Smithfield Police Department.
The same goes for violations filed through the Virginia Department of Game
and Inland Fisheries, said
Lt. Scott Naff.
Criminal complaints
filed by one person against
another are completed at a
magistrate’s office.
In those cases, it’s necessary for the complainant
to provide enough information for an officer to reasonably identify someone
when they go to serve the
warrant, said Suffolk Chief
Magistrate Sean Dolan.
Sheriff Mark Marshall said
birth dates and Social Security numbers are unique
identifiers for law enforcement to accurately identify
people.
The courts haven’t favored “John Doe” warrants,
Marshall said.
“They don’t want a case
of mistaken identity,” he
said.
Daniel said her office has
seen cases where the person
has the same name and
birth date — or the birth
date is so similar that it
could be easily transposed.
Marshall said it does
Stanton is running for
IW commonwealth atty.
By Diana McFarland
News editor
N o r f o l k t r i a l a t t o rney Jennifer Stanton is
challenging Isle of Wight
Commonwealth’s Attorney
Georgette Phillips for the
county’s top law enforcement officer.
Phillips was appointed to
the job last December when
former Commonwealth’s
Attorney Wayne Farmer
was appointed as a Fifth Judicial Circuit Court judge.
She moved to Isle of Wight
from Poquoson last year in
order to accept the appointment, and will serve until a
special election is held in
November for the position.
P h i l l i p s p r ev i o u s l y
served for 13 years as Isle
of Wight’s assistant and
deputy commonwealth’s
attorney and plans to run
for the seat in November.
Stanton ran a g ainst
Farmer in 2008, but lost the
race to the Isle of Wight
native.
However, she calls on her
commitment to the county
as a 16-year resident of Isle
of Wight.
Stanton wants to see
someone with that level of
commitment to the county
holding a position of “obvious importance,” she said.
She also points to her
25 years of experience as
both a defense attorney and
prosecutor, which will bring
balance to the commonwealth’s attorney office.
Every prosecutor should
also have some defense experience, she said.
“I strongly believe, because I’ve represented people who were innocent and
Jennifer Stanton
wrongfully charged, that
the job of being a prosecutor should not be solely
about getting a conviction,
but about following where
the facts lead you and doing
the right thing. Everyone
who deals with the judicial
system deserves equal respect, regardless of their
station in life and no matter
what the reason is for their
contact with the courts.
That is how I would expect
my office, if I’m elected, to
deal with the public, the
courts, law enforcement
and attorneys,” Stanton
said.
Stanton said she’s handled the most low level misdemeanors all the way up to
capital murder cases. Currently, she’s on her 15th capital murder defense case.
No one has been executed on her watch, and she
kept three innocent men
from being convicted by
the state — with two of the
cases dropped before they
went to court, Stanton said.
In addition to state
courts, Stanton has also
tried cases in federal court
and worked as an assistant
commonwealth’s attorney
in Chesapeake in the early
1990s.
Stanton has her own
firm, J.T. Stanton PC in Norfolk. She graduated from
Duke University, followed
by the New England School
of Law in Boston.
Stanton lives in the Morgart’s Beach area with her
husband Michael and their
two dogs. In addition to her
legal practice, Stanton also
serves as the registered
agent for the Mission of
Hope program.

raise the question of whether or not that information
should be redacted before
it is released for public
viewing. But that may take
additional resources, he
said, adding that until the
case is completed, that information continues to be
needed.
According to Michael
Kelly with the Virginia
Attorney General’s office,
changing how those records
are handled would have
to go through the General
Assembly.
Delegate Rick Morris
,R-64th, was unaware of
how easily that information
could be obtained by the
public.
“We need to fix that,” he
said, adding that he plans
to pursue a bill in next
year’s General Assembly to
address the issue.

Windsor looking at
recycling subsidy
By Diana McFarland
News editor
WINDSOR — The Windsor Town Council is looking
into partially subsidizing
curbside recycling for residents.
Currently, residents can
obtain curbside recycling
for $5.50 a month through
an individual contract with
Moody’s A.V.E.S. of Smithfield.
Councilwoman Patty
Flemming suggested the
town cover half of the cost,
at about $2.75 a month.
With 850 homes, it would
cost the town about $17,000
to cover half the cost, which
can be done with savings
found in the IT budget,
Flemming said.
Town Manager Michael
Stallings said a billing arrangement could probably
be worked out with A.V.E.S.
But Stallings doubted
that many people would
take advantage of the offer.
According to Stallings, less
than 10 Windsor households
have contracted for curbside recycling.
Council member Macon Edwards suggested the
town do a survey to assess
interest, but added that no
one on his street was interested in pushing another
cart to the curb.
The town did a survey
several years ago and found
about half of the respondents favored recycling
while the other half did not,
Stallings said.
As a result, the town did
not act at that time, he said.
Flemming was interested in the town subsidizing
part of the cost as a way
to help the town be more
environmentally conscious.
Windsor welders
Tyler Bracey won first
place in the state welding
competition in Roanoke in
April, the third Windsor
High School student to do
so in the past three years.
Bracey placed first in
Skills USA competition and
will go on to the national
competition at the National Leadership and Skills
Conference June 22-26 in
Louisville, Kentucky.
Bracey is completing his
second year in the welding program at the Pruden
Center with instructor Tom
Shirk.
Windsor won top in the
state in Entrepreneurship
and Recycle and Redesign.
Drew Clements, Tabatha
Davis and Nate Dent were
the winners in Entrepreneurship, and Akeyla Ruffin
won in Recycle and Redesign.
Clements, Davis, Dent
and Ruffin are headed to
the national STAR Events
competition in Washington,
D.C. this summer.
Council member Tony
Ambrose said recycling was
a good thing, but if the town
paid for half of the cost, residents would still be paying
for it through taxes.
The town of Smithfield,
which offers weekly curbside recycling, rolls the
cost into its property taxes.
Recyling is available at Isle
of Wight County’s convenience centers.
Stallings and the council
discussed other options,
such as a pilot program
or a cap on the amount of
money that would be used
to subsidize interested residents.
The council voted 3-2
to have Stallings look into
billing possibilities and cost
to the residents and return
with a report. Edwards and
council member Durwood
Scott cast dissenting votes.
