Priceless

King and Queen County, VA– On April 28 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the King and Queen county sheriff’s office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to pre-vent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially danger-ous expired, unused, and unwant-ed prescription drugs. Bring your medications for disposal to The Middle Peninsula Regional Airport on AirPort Road in Mattaponi VA and The Pumunkey Regional Li-brary on Newtown Road in St. Ste-phens Church VA. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.

Last October, Americans turned in 377,080 pounds—188.5 tons—of prescription drugs at over 5,300 sites operated by the DEA and nearly 4,000 state and local law en-forcement partners. In its three pre-vious Take Back events, DEA and its partners took in almost a million pounds—nearly 500 tons—of pills. This initiative addresses a vital public safety and public health is-sue. Medicines that languish in home cabinets are highly suscepti-ble to diversion, misuse, and abuse.

Rates of prescription drug abuse in the U.S. are alarmingly high, as are the number of accidental poison-

ings and overdoses due to these drugs. Studies show that a ma-jority of abused prescription drugs are obtained from family and friends, including from the

home medicine cabinet. In addition, Americans are now advised that their usual methods for disposing of

unused medicines—flushing them down the toilet or throwing them in the trash—both pose potential safe-ty and health hazards. Four days after the first event, Congress passed the Secure and Responsible Drug Disposal Act of 2010, which amends the Controlled Substances Act to allow an “ulti-mate user” of controlled substance medications to dispose of them by delivering them to entities autho-rized by the Attorney General to accept them. The Act also allows the Attorney General to authorize long term care facilities to dispose of their residents’ controlled sub-stances in certain instances. DEA is drafting regulations to implement the Act, a process that can take as long as 24 months. Until new regu-lations are in place, local law en-forcement agencies like [agency] and the DEA will continue to hold prescription drug take-back events every few months.

The Virginia Department of Ag-riculture and Consumer Services (VDACS) urges all horse owners to check with their veterinarians for West Nile Virus (WNV) and East-ern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) vac-cination recommendations for their animals. Virginia only had one con-firmed case of WNV in 2011 and no cases of EEE, although the number of horses affected in previous years and in other states is much higher. State officials are concerned that horse owners may be lulled into inaction by the lack of diseases activity last year and neglect vaccination this year. “Despite a low level of disease activity last year, we still urge horse owners to con-sider vacci-nation.” says Dr. Joseph Garvin, Pro-gram Manager for VDACS’ Office of L a b o r a t o r y Services. “We never know what mos-quito activity will be in any given year, and the bot-tom line is, these vaccines are very safe and effective. We believe that in most cases, private veterinarians will recommend them for their clients. Horse-owners need to be aware that the vaccines require boosters every six to twelve months.” Vaccines are available to drastically reduce the incidence of these diseases in horses. The vaccines are effective for six to twelve months, so horses should be re-vaccinated at least an-nually. In an area where the disease occurs frequently, such as southeast and Tidewater Virginia, most vet-erinarians recommend vaccination every six months. For the vaccine to

be effective it must be handled and administered properly and be given at least two weeks before the horse is exposed to the virus. Additionally, to stimulate full immunity, horses must be vaccinated twice, about 30 days apart, the first year that the horse is vaccinated. Other prevention meth-ods include destroying standing wa-ter breeding sites for mosquitoes, using insect repellents and removing animals from mosquito-infested ar-eas during peak biting times, usually dusk to dawn. Typical symptoms of encephalitis in equines include staggering, cir-cling, depression, loss of appetite and sometimes fever and blindness.

There is no cure for these dis-eases, which can kill anywhere from 30 percent (WNV) to 90 percent (EEE) of the horses in-fected. Humans cannot become infected by han-dling an infected horse, nor can a

horse acquire the virus from another infected horse; however, the pres-ence of an infected horse in the area indicates that mosquitoes carrying EEE or WNV are present and those insects pose a threat to both humans and horses. For more information, contact the Office of the State Veterinarian, Di-vision of Animal Industry Services, VDACS, at 804.786.2483 or see http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/animals/diseases.shtml. Horse owners should contact their veteri-narians for further advice on preven-tion, diagnosis and treatment.

HORSE OWNERS URGED TO VACCINATE NOW FOR WEST NILE VIRUS AND EASTERN

EQUINE ENCEPHALITIS

RICHMOND, VA: The Virginia Indian Commemorative Commission, which in-cludes as its members Chairman Governor Bob McDonnell, Vice Chairman Delegate Chris Peace, and legislative leaders House Speaker William J. Howell and State Sena-tor Ryan T. McDougle, will performed a site dedication on April 12, 2012, 10 am, at a designated site near the Edgar Allen Poe statue and the Bell Tower on Capital grounds.

In Executive Order 37 (2011), Governor McDonnell continued the Virginia In-dian Commemorative Commission, origi-nally established by Governor Tim Kaine in 2009. The Commission is tasked with making recommendations on an appro-priate permanent monument on historic Capitol Square for the Commonwealth to commemorate the many contributions of Virginia Indians, the state’s original resi-dents. Since its inception the Commission has held numerous public meetings, toured the National Museum of the American In-dian, and hosted public charrettes with rep-resentatives of eight tribes to develop a list of elements for a Capitol Hill tribute to Vir-ginia’s indigenous people. The Commis-sion’s activities have also included estab-lishing a Facebook group page, engaging consultants at CultureWorks, and collabo-rating with Bryan & Jordan Consulting, Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, and Virginia Commonwealth University’s Sculpture Department.

Late 2011, the Virginia Indian Commem-orative Commission issued a national request for proposal for an outdoor, site-specific sculpture, or other installation in tribute to the Commonwealth’s Indian among artists recommended by the Com-mission’s membership based on months of research including a visit to the Smithso-nian’s National Museum of the American Indian. From November 2011 to March 2012, the Commission received responses

to the request for proposals from nearly a dozen renowned public artists. The Com-mission envisions development and related efforts to install the tribute completed by September 1, 2013.

Speaking of the commemorative tribute, Delegate Peace said, “This tribute will pro-mote goodwill and better friendships with the indigenous people of Virginia. Having represented several Tribes, I value the con-tributions the Virginia Indian has made to our Commonwealth for over four hundred years and it is time to recognize these ef-forts with a tribute in Richmond.”

Karenne Wood, a member of the Monacan Indian Nation and Director of the Virginian Indian Heritage Trail at the Virginia Foun-dation for the Humanities noted, “Ameri-can Indians have been in Virginia for at least 18,000 years. I hope this [tribute] will reflect the special attachment to place that Virginia Indians have for their homeland.” “This project has been many years coming, and will give honor to the ancestors of the Virginia Indians,” commented Powhatan Red Cloud-Owen of the Chickahominy Tribe.

In addition to Governor McDonnell, Del-egate Peace, Speaker Howell, and Senator Whipple, other Commission members in-clude Lt. Governor Bill Bolling, Senator Don McEachin, Senator John Edwards, Delegate Delores McQuinn, representa-tives of the Virginia Indians - Chief Ken-neth Adams, Sidney Turner, and Frances Broaddus-Crutchfield; Executive Director of the Capitol Square Preservation Coun-cil, James E. Wotton; Executive Director of the Virginia Capitol Foundation, Alice Lynch, Clerk of the Senate of Virginia, Su-san Schaar; and G. Paul Nardo, Clerk of the Virginia House of Delegates. Staff support for the Commission is provided by the of-fice of the Virginia Council on Indians.

ASTOUNDED! Exactly what I felt when I recently heard Sena-tor Mark Warner say that he knew all along ObamaCare was “Imperfect”. So let me get this right. Warner voted FOR this massive 2,700 page bill even though he knew it was “Imper-fect”, he didn’t read it, it was rushed through, it was totally 100% partisan, it was going to be a federal government takeover of 1/6 of the American economy, it’s a job killer, it uses taxpayer funds to cover abortions, it man-

dates American citizens most purchase it, it substantially adds to the massive U.S. debt, and is very likely to be ruled Uncon-stitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court. Come on folks, is this really type of representation we want here in the state of Virginia? I submit, we can and MUST do better! Jenna HawkMechanicsville, VA 23116

NEXT STEP FOR PATRIOT MOVE-MENT

Yesterday Thomas Hurt ( Washing-ton Times ) answered what impact the TEA Party would have on the upcoming elections. Mr. Hurt was not denigrating us when he referred to the movement as the “Rodney Dangerfield” of politics. He was making the point that in spite of the number that identify themselves as supporters of the TEA Party the republican party establishment still does not show us much respect. What do we do about it ?

We need an effective strategy . More are coming around to recognizing we must take the fight to the party establishment if we are to capitalize on our momentum and numbers. We will lose the very momentum should we continue to wait.

Last week frustration surfaced with many of the republican freshmen elected in 2010 ( with our support ) who supported the debt ceiling in-crease . These tepid freshmen argued they couldn’t shut the government down, soldiers wouldn’t be paid, cit-izens wouldn’t get their Social Secu-rity checks, etc,.

These fears are not true. Govern-ment has adequate funds to continue paying priority items such as mili-tary and social security. I wonder what these same freshmen’s response would be if someone asked them what are we going to do when an-other ratings downgrade of Treasur-ies occur or when interest rates spike at the first unsubscribed Treasury auction ? What is their plan when interest costs of servicing this debt swallows us ?

Crisis requires action. Another ex-ample of feckless cowards who shun bucking party leadership, who’s only interest is in retaining power.

If republicans know there will be consequences , they will act. Until then they kick the can down the road, at our nations peril, and we remain the “Rodney Dangerfield” of American politics.

Letter to the editor:

Let me see if I’ve got this right:

The Essex County School Su-perintendant needs a budget director to develop budgets for three schools. By his own admission, teach-ers are buying supplies with their own personal money, as the school district doesn’t have the funds to pay for needed supplies: Instead of raising taxes on the county residents, I would propose the Superintendant take a pay cut to make up for the shortfall. If he were required to take a sal-ary cut, I’ll bet you what’s left of my re-distributed income that he could find the money somewhere. Perhaps he could forgo his tax sheltered annu-ity. He could even do away with some of the overhead in his office. Instead of that he proposes to add at least two positions to an already bloated staff. But since he is so busy, I’m sure that will be difficult to do.The Essex County Budget was developed by a non resi-dent and foisted off on the public without any meaning-ful public input to the budget-ing process. The only reason I can think of that the BOS has “public hearing” on the budget is to jump through a legal hoop. The budget has already been formulated and decided upon by the BOS and our non-resident County Ad-ministrator, who by the way, was under contract to move to the county when he took the position in 2007. Since he STILL hasn’t moved and has no skin in the game, he can propose any budget he feels like, since he won’t pay a dime of his proposed tax in-crease. Nice work when you can get it…. Oh, and by the way AGAIN…..His contract was just extended ANOTH-

ER year due to his stellar per-formance. Do you suppose he will move this time??? Contracts… Don’t need no stinkin’ contracts. They don’t mean anything anyway in this county. Maybe we should elect a Sheriff that lives in Norfolk, a Tax commissioner that lives in Richmond and a Com-monwealth Attorney living in Fredericksburg. Makes per-fect sense. We also keep sending money to the MPPDC, along with a significant increase again this year, to fund an organization that is nothing more than a self promoting, self serving bureaucracy that keeps devel-oping plans that in many cas-es are not needed nor wanted and based on bad data, incom-plete data or both. What they are very good at is promoting the demise of your property rights and coming up with new and innovative ways to redistribute what is left of your income. Oh, did I men-tion that our very own non resident, contract newly ex-tended, County Administrator ran that organization for sev-eral years? Oh, and the fact that he served on the board of that organization until a cou-ple of months ago, illegally I might add. AND the fact that he did so with the complicity of the BOS!The ethics (or lack of) of BOS and County Administrator is reprehensible. They expect us to live by their rules, but they can’t even live by their own rules. The list goes on and on……Alice…please tell me we’re not living in Wonderland. Wake Up, Essex County! You are being fleeced.

NEW DEFINITION OF CON-SERVATIVE

Today’s “conservative” believes if government is kept in check at current levels the goal of that philosophy has been met. Fuel-ing that is beneficiaries of the status quo who are okay with government at current levels so long as their program isn’t cut . It aid’s elected officials then in the public perception that they them-selves are “conservative” if they hold spending where it currently is. Nothing puzzles or frustrates conservatives more than this dis-tortion that has taken place. Gov-ernment is too big, spending is unsustainable and the convenient ignoring of those facts won’t suffice for much longer. If we are to get out of this ev-eryone in this Country will have to make serious sacrifices. The

current tax code will have to be scrapped, taking away advan-tages many enjoy at the moment. Everyone, including Seniors will have to pay for more of their first dollar out of pocket medical expenses. The notion of taxing the rich needs erased as a reme-dy. Ask California how well that has worked out. Citizens who think someone else should subsi-dize their bad choices must grow up and elected officials must be-gin to tell the truth regarding just how dire our finances are.

Spending cuts should be made at all levels of government, beyond the token ones that have been made. Certain programs should be eliminated. It will get tougher each year.

The number of Virgin-ia Century Farms has passed the 1,200 mark. As of March 31, 2012, the program had recognized a total of 1,201 farms since the Virginia General Assembly established it in 1997. The Century Farm program honors the commitment and contri-butions of farm families who have owned and worked their farms for 100 years or more. It is adminis-tered by the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS). “The Century Farm program recognizes and pays tribute to those farmers whose continuing efforts have formed the backbone of the Commonwealth for more than 400 years,” said VDACS Commission-er Matthew J. Lohr. “These are the people who have made agriculture Virginia’s leading industry with an annual economic impact of $55 bil-lion. I am a fifth generation farmer and my family’s farm is a Century Farm. We take great pride in that heritage.” Century Farms are located across the state in 95 counties and cities. A current list of farms is available at www.vdacs.virginia.gov/century. To qualify as a Virginia Cen-tury Farm, applicants must meet these criteria: the farm must have been owned by the same family for at least one hundred consecutive years; the farm must be lived on, or actually farmed by, a descendant of the original owner; and the farm must gross more than $2,500 an-nually from the sale of agricultural products. If the farm does not gross over $2,500 in the sale of farm products, it still may qualify if it is used for a bona fide silvicultural purpose. This includes growing, tending or protecting trees for the

purpose of eventually producing in-come or financial benefit. Century Farm families re-ceive a certificate of recognition and an 11x17-inch aluminum sign for exterior display. Application forms are available from VDACS by calling 804.786.1346 ; by mailing a request to Century Farm, VDACS, P.O. Box 1163, Richmond, VA 23218; accessing the website listed above; or e-mail-ing [email protected]. There is no fee to apply and no charge for the first sign; additional signs are $25 each.. A farm must meet the criteria deter-mined by the Virginia General As-sembly to be certified as a Virginia Century Farm:

It must have been owned by the same family for at least 100 con-secutive years;It must be lived on or actually farmed by a descendent of the origi-nal owner;It must gross over $2,500 annually from the sale of farm products, orAt the discretion of the Commis-sioner of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Ser-vices, a farm that does not gross over $2,500 annually, but is be-ing used for a bona fide silvicul-tural purpose (growing, tending or protecting trees for the purpose of eventually producing income or fi-nancial benefit), may be recognized under the program.

Celebrating Life: It’s Pow-wow Timeby A. Kay Oxendine

I just got back from my tribe, the Haliwa-Saponi Indian Tribe’s, pow-wow in Hol-lister, NC. O M G! The feeling that my pow-wow gives me is indescribable. Being able to be around my family, for one, seeing my cousins singing and dancing, being around my pow-wow family, feeling the love that can not be matched by anything in the world. That is really the secret to it all - the love that is felt through the dancing, the singing, the socializing, that is felt from tribe to tribe - it can not be matched by anything on this earth. Knowing that after all these years - we have survived as a people - that our language, our songs, our dances, that were once not allowed to be sang, spoken or performed in public are now celebrated with gladness. Our pow-wows take us to that place - a place where it is ok to celebrate our Indianness - even if it is just for that weekend - the love that is felt is worth it all. Our pow-wows are now open to the public - we encourage the public to come learn about America’s first people. We encourage our schools to explore the rich culture that is right here in our own backyards. Check Out these upcoming Pow-wows to learn more about our rich culture that is still thriving!

Wikipedia reports “The Informa-tion Age, also commonly known as the Computer Age or Digital Age, is an idea that the current age will be characterized by the ability of individuals to transfer informa-tion freely, and to have instant ac-cess to information that would have been difficult or impossible to find previously”. I re-cently upgraded to a “Smart” phone. This smart phone has shown me how “not smart” I am. The one thing that I have noticed is the fact that it is a major distraction to my normal daily routine and focus. I feel as though I must be attending to it so I may get all the benefit I can from it. I can now relate and understand why I look around and see others, espe-cially our young people, with their head bent down looking at a hand held device, failing to communicate verbally or otherwise with a human being, but rather “distracted” by the information available through a small plastic case. I think of a story in the scriptures where a woman by the name of Martha is distract-ed. Luke 10:40 But Martha was “distracted” by the big dinner she

was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.” Jesus, our Lord and Savior, replies: Luke 10:41-42 But the Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!

There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discov-ered it and it will not be taken away from her.” Mary was sitting at the feet of Jesus learning all she could from the Mas-ter. She was hungry for Truth that would lead her into eternity with

Christ. Don’t let this “information age” distract us from that which we should be concerned about. We as parents must be disciplined in put-ting these gadgets down and in-vest in that which is worthy of our time and investment, Jesus and His Truth, the Bible. Our children will see that and discern that they are to do the same thing.

Grandma and granddaddy brought him over at some point during the summer. He was born on May 22. Whoever they got him from obviously didn’t half-feed the thing—everything we gave him to eat was scarfed down within seconds. He was a mutt, a mix of Beagle, Walker, and Aus-tralian Shepherd. His eyes were constantly tearing up. We already had a Bassett Hound, and we wanted him to have a buddy—we didn’t know why we thought this, because this one ended up coming in every day to sleep on my bed with me. From the min-ute he came to our house, he’d been cling-ing to me like the clothes I wore on my back. I never had a dog so stuck on me be-fore—my Bassett Hound loves me, mostly because I’m the one who brings him his food. But the new puppy only wanted to hang with me wherever I went, even if I was going to the toilet (this got to be an-noying as hell after a while, but whatever). I named him Sackett, after a Louis L’Amour novel. The name was the most fitting thing for him, for like the Sackett family he was unwilling to give in to weakness. Even though he was always sickly and teary-eyed. We had him up until close to Thanksgiving—that was when he start-ed to get really sick. He was weak and wouldn’t eat hardly at all. He couldn’t go to the bathroom outside, and he would strain so hard until he couldn’t move and one of us (either my dad or me) would have to carry him back inside. I missed one of my classes so dad and I could take him to the vet. The whole time the dog whimpered and clung to my chest for everything he had in him. I didn’t know what it was, but I had hoped it was not a goodbye. The vets said that they had to do a surgery; the bill would be over a thousand dollars at least, they said. We decided to go ahead and figure out how we would pay for it. I hugged the dog goodbye and told the vets that he liked biscuits from off the table. “We can’t feed him that—dogs aren’t supposed to have that!” “He ain’t a damn dog,” I mum-bled to myself as I walked out the door. I haven’t ever had a dog that was just a dog. And besides, he loved biscuits. I went to my last class before my three day Thanksgiving break, and I got to see him one time. They had found out from the surgery that he had a length of the small intestine that was just dead weight. They removed eight inches of that and maybe six inches of his large one. He wagged his tail when he saw me walk in. I hugged him, and they let me feed him a little bit of something. That was the day before Turkey Day. They said he should come home on Friday. I waited irreverent-ly, cussing in my head because my mom doesn’t like language. Thursday was Thanksgiving. I made sure I made a plate of chicken, po-tatoes, greens, and biscuits for my Bassett, because he was a part of the family and was entitled to it. One of my aunts said it wasn’t right for a dog to have all that good food, and I told her off. He wasn’t a dog; he was a person in the family just like the rest of us. Then I went to my room without dessert. I felt sick to my stomach. Friday came, and my dad called the vet. We were going to bring the dog home and then take a load of wood up to grandma’s house for the winter. But the vet said that the dog had taken a turn for the worse and they would have to do an-other surgery. I was furious. “They promised me today!” I shouted. “They promised me to-day!” My dad was just as angry. “Ya’ll

keep running the days back, and my son is more than upset. Now why . . .” Then he stopped and listened, the fire going out of him. “Alright, well, my son’ll have to see him—he’s becoming unglued.” Then he hung up and my mom drove me up there to see him. Her eyes didn’t hold moisture, but they were still sad and full of hatred for the vets. She had even threatened to go off on them and make them suffer, but that wouldn’t have done anybody any good. Besides, the vets can’t save every dog, though I was still sure that my dog would be alright, at least able to come home at some point. Sackett looked so weak, and he couldn’t move anything but his eyelids. He winked at me as I clutched him to me like I used to do when we first got him. He managed finally to lick my cheek, albeit weakly. I told him he was going to make it and mom took me to my favorite bookstore so I could be alone for a while. I was there for maybe an hour and a half until both mom and dad came to get me. They did a second surgery free of charge, but he still died anyway, right there on the table. I felt like punching some-body. They took me to the vet’s office, and I lost it when they gave me his collar. They led me to where his body was. They had put him in a black plastic bag and wrapped him up in an old flannel blanket. I carried him to the car and rode home. I was lost without anything left. I carried his body, still clutched tightly to my chest like when we took him to be checked out, to the couch where I used to play with him, to the couch where I first got to know him as another living, breath-ing thing, and I just laid there for an hour, crying, while dad dug a hole outside and fixed a little cross marker. Sackett died on Friday, Novem-ber 27, which meant that he lived to be six months and five days old. Not nearly long enough for a life to live. Dad said that he wasn’t meant to live, that he didn’t need to suffer the way that he did. Dad prayed when we buried him. Both my aunts cried heavily. The one aunt that was always cheap paid for the eigh-teen-hundred dollar vet bill, and the other one simply surprised me because she al-ways acted like she didn’t even like dogs before. I kept petting my Bassett Hound; he kept licking my hand. He seemed to grieve more than everyone else that was out there. Except for me. “There was never a dog that loved somebody like that dog loved you,” my dad said as we hooked the trailer to the truck and left for grandma’s. Despite our loss, we still had a job to do, and we couldn’t just not do it. I still had his dog collar in my hand, and as I played with it I realized that there was really nothing left for me. I had lost one of my two best friends. I will never again feel his cold tongue on my nose to wake me up in the morning. I will never again have to chase him through the house to give him a bath. I will never again be able to feed him food from off of the table. All of these things were lost to me, and I will never, ever get them back. I cried over it that instant in the truck, while clinging to the collar, but it wasn’t because I was sad. I cried because it was my last chance to cry.

Deanna Mills (many know Deanna from pow-wows from Mills On Wheels) is working on her book, “Let’s Talk About It”.

This book will be published later this year, and shares with children the importance of who to trust and to prevent them from falling prey to predators and negative people who seek to harm them. Along with the book, bracelets have been handed out at pow-wows that represent who can be trusted and to show solidarity and a sense of safety for our communities.

Over 300 athletes will compete in 30 events with the top six in each event receiving an award. Coach Malcolm Tupponce said, “We started the invi-tational five years ago as a fundraiser, and thought, who better to name it after.” Bob Murray served as the head track coach at King William High School for more than thirty years. The primary sponsor for this year’s invitational is Dynamo Soccer Club. “We were hap-py to sponsor the event this year. Our goal is to have all kids active, not just in soccer. This is another way we can give back to the King William Community,” stated Shawn Martin, the club’s general manager.

That chair is out of place and there’s a bro-ken glass lying on the floor. Mom’s eyes are red again. Where did Dad go this time? There were angry voices and noises earlier today. What was the fighting about? How much is Mom hurt this time? Why does Dad act so differently sometimes? Am I safe? Is my family safe? Do my parents love me? Why does this happen? Is it my fault?In homes where there is domestic violence, children often face confusion, fear and in-security. These children may struggle with confidence, with feeling comfortable in school and social settings and may question what relationships of all types should look like. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 10 to 20 per-cent of children living in the United States are at risk of being exposed to domestic vio-lence, this translates to approximately 3.3 to 10 million children who witness the abuse of a parent or caregiver every year. Chil-dren’s risk levels and reactions to domestic violence exist on a continuum where some children demonstrate enormous resiliency while others show signs of significant mal-adaptive adjustment. One significant factor that has been identified as helping children cope with living in a home where there is domestic violence is the time and support of trusted adults. How can adults support chil-dren who live in homes where adults fight? One way is to simply take the time to sup-port them by “being present”. The simple act of regularly giving a child just fifteen min-utes of your time can help them to feel loved and supported and will encourage them to believe in themselves and their abilities. All children need the support of adults to help them succeed. The Search Institute, an independent non-profit or-ganization whose mission is to provide leadership, knowledge, and resources to promote healthy children, youth and communities conducted research to find out just what helps chil-dren succeed. The research identified 40 developmental assets that are essential for children to be successful. The list of assets is broken down by age groups and includes activities that can be used to help develop each asset. Each list is broken down into two primary categories, internal and exter-nal resources. Internal resources consist of a commitment to learning, positive values, social competency, and positive identity. External Assets consist of constructive use of time, clear boundaries and expectations, empowerment and support. Below are some ways that a caring adult could help build these assets in a child:External:-Support- If issues arise, listen carefully and respectfully to the child and allow them to explain their point of view. Do not show that you are stressed, fearful, angry or dis-appointed but instead work with the child to make a plan to solve the problem. When you are interacting with children use “active listening”: ask questions, paraphrase what they are saying to make sure you understand and emphasize with what they are saying and feeling.- Empowerment- Encourage children’s input in decisions and give them meaningful tasks to complete. Allow them to really contribute to projects and activities. -Boundaries and Expectations- Act as a role model by demonstrating how you would like children to act, be respectful of others, be honest, and believe in yourself. Children will learn by example!-Constructive Use of Time- Have children participate in music, art, writing, drama and other creative explorations. Try to limit the time spent watching television or playing video games and instead focus on spending quality time together. Internal:- Commitment to Learning- Help your child to set goals for themselves and create spon-taneous rewards such as going to the park after homework has been completed. In-volve children in school and community by doing service projects with them.-Positive Values- Teach children that it is important to stand up for what they be-lieve in. Demonstrate this in your actions and support them when they take a stand themselves. Standing up for your beliefs can sometimes be difficult, especially as a child, so be sure to be there for them if they need support. -Social Competency- Create respect for oth-er people by showing children respect and making sure they respect others by saying things like “please” and “thank you.” Chil-dren who grow up with domestic violence learn powerful lessons about the use of in-timidation and force in relationships. In vio-lent homes, children learn that aggression is an integral part of intimate relationships, or that it is acceptable to relieve stress by yell-ing at or threatening another family member. These lessons do not work well for children in other social contexts; they may misinter-pret other children’s behavior or behave in distrustful and aggressive ways. -Positive Identity- Tell children what is spe-cial about them and how much you love them. We often assume that children will just know these things but they do not. Let them know how proud of them you are and that you enjoy their company.

The above list includes just a few of the ways that you can help strengthen a child. To learn more please visit the Search Insti-tute’s website at www.search-institute.org.The Search Institute’s site also discusses the importance of having “thriving” children. They define “thriving” as “focused both on how an individual is “doing” at any given point in time as well as the path that he or she is taking into the future, and effectively takes into account both the current status of a young person and a process that unfolds over time.” To put it simply thriving is when a child is in and moving towards a positive direction. The institute believes that a “spark” can help children to thrive. A spark is any interest, talent, skill, asset, or dream that the child is interested in and which inspires them. Sparks give young people purpose and help them to make positive decisions about their activities and use of time. Children can ex-press their personality and feel like they are contributing to their world through sparks. To learn more about sparks and how you can encourage children’s activities and dreams visit www.ignitesparks.com. Being available for children helps them to feel loved and valued which in turn, helps them to grow into strong, capable, and inde-pendent men and women. While this support is necessary for all children regardless of their home environment or life experiences, it is central to the helping philosophy used by the Project Hope Children’s Services Team. Children that have been around domestic vi-olence often feel unsure about their roles in their family, school and other social groups. They may lack confidence in themselves

or feel unsure about their concept of the world. See-ing the two people fight who are supposed to love and support them is diffi-cult for any child. Chil-dren who are victims of domestic violence experi-ence a high level of fear and confusion. They may have difficulty dealing with emotions, especially anger and may not know

what they should expect in a healthy rela-tionship. The trauma they experience can af-fect them emotionally, behaviorally, socially and physically. Some effects may include…

Emotional• Grief for family and personal losses. • Shame, guilt, and self blame. • Confusion about conflicting feelings to-

ward parents. • Fear of abandonment, or expressing

emotions, the unknown or personal in-jury.

• Anger. • Depression and feelings of helplessness

and powerlessness. • Embarrassment. • Behavioral • Acting out or withdrawing. • Aggressive or passive. • Refusing to go to school. • Care taking; acting as a parent substi-

tute. • Lying to avoid confrontation. • Rigid defenses. • Excessive attention seeking. • Bedwetting and nightmares. • Out of control behavior. • Reduced intellectual competency. • Manipulation, dependency, mood

swings.

Social • Isolation from friends and relatives. • Stormy relationships. • Difficulty in trusting, especially adults. • Poor anger management and problem

solving skills. • Excessive social involvement to avoid

home. • Passivity with peers or bullying. • Engaged in exploitative relationships as

perpetrator or victim. • Physical • Somatic complaints, headaches and

stomachaches. • Nervous, anxious, short attention span. • Tired and lethargic. • Frequently ill. • Poor personal hygiene. • Regression in development. • High risk play. • Self abuse

There are hundreds of kids within the four county Project Hope service area that have experienced at least one incidence of do-mestic violence in their home during the past year. If we are to break the cycle of violence in families, it is essential to begin with children. Unfortunately, there is no single prevention, intervention, or treatment initiative available to successfully address child exposure to domestic violence. Our community can better serve families by al-locating resources that build partnerships between service providers, policy makers, community members, and others to address this devastating social issue. Our children deserve no less.If you or someone you know has been a vic-tim of domestic or sexual violence, please call the 24-hour confidential hotline at 1-877-966-4357.

Saturday, April 21, will be the first Farm-ers’ Market of the season in Tappahan-nock. Now in its third year, the market was created in 2010 by the Tappahan-nock Main Street Program with the twin goal of making fresh healthy food easily accessible to the residents of Tappahan-nock and surrounding neighborhoods and bringing new events and activities into the downtown historic district. On the third Saturday of each month until November (with the excep-tion of June which is RivahFest) from 9:00 until 1:00 Cross Street, Fountain Green, and Courthouse Green in His-toric Downtown Tappahannock will be filled with happy shoppers enjoying everything the market has to offer from produce, fruits, plants, flowers, seafood, cheeses, meats, prepared foods and a host of craft and other services. The wine tasting area in the Dillard & Ka-tona garden will also kick off again this year with a rotating group of wineries from the Northern Neck. The market has expanded in two ways since its inception: it has added a month on each end, starting earlier and ending later in the year; and now in ad-dition to offering the bounty of the land, there are also crafters with their hand made wares and representatives of local

non-profit organizations educating the public on ways they are attempting to make the community a better place for all. After the incredibly successful 2011 season, the 2012 opening week-end in April will kick off with a high number of returning, well-known mar-

ket purveyors, and is being refreshingly augmented by new market vendors who have heard about the growing success of Tappahannock Market and want to be part of our success story. Tappahannock Farmers’ Mar-ket Manager Lindsey Atkinson com-mented: “Everybody involved in the

success of the market, Brooke Mullery, market volunteer coordinator, EVB vol-unteer coordinators Kia Ware and Stacy Mundie, our partners at WRAR/WNNT Rich Morgan and Terry Brooks, our main sponsors Rappahannock Electric, the Rotary Club of Tappahannock and the RivahFest steering committee, our

Tappahannock Main Street executive committee members, strong support from the Town of Tappahannock, and all of the market volunteers will be work-ing together to make the 2012 season the most outstanding since the market opened.” As in years past, there has been

a featured artist each month, and begin-ning in 2012 we are introducing two guest artists per month, one on each green, a program managed by Frank Rixey at the Tappahannock Art Guild. For April we are welcoming back mar-ket favorite Jen Donald to Fountain Green who works in acrylic paints and creates realistic works with a variety of subjects from still life to wildlife and anything in between, and puts a nostal-gic feel to her vision of life in Virginia. On Courthouse Green, Jerry Dance, a self taught artist from Blackstone, Vir-ginia - his art work is in major banks , corporate collections and many private collectors homes and business. Jerry has won many national and international art awards and contests. Tappahannock Art Guild will be featuring Art After Dark in their studio on Prince Street the evening before every Saturday market day as a prelude to the featured guest artist. If you have a product or a ser-vice that is home or farm produced and want to be part of the market, please call our market manager Lindsey Atkinson on 445-2067.
