News and video of aSmithfield man being shotwith a Taser by an Isle ofWight County deputy hastraveled as far as New YorkCity.

Isle of Wight SheriffMark Marshall said he’sbeen called by theHuffington Post, and avideo is also on a websitecalled “copwatch.org.”

A video was initially

broadcast on WAVY-10 lastweek and begins shortlybefore Ervin Laws, 50, wasshot with a Taser by thedeputy.

The incident occurredafter Laws allegedly triedto choke the deputy afterpushing him up against hissquad car, Marshall said.

The struggle left a vis-ible dent in the vehicle.

Laws was arrested andcharged with three felonies, assault on a law enforce-

ment officer, strangulationand destruction of prop-erty; two misdemeanors,public intoxication and dis-orderly conduct; and fail-ure to walk on the left sideof the road, a traffic viola-tion.

When you attack adeputy or law enforcementofficer, “there’s never agood outcome,” Marshallsaid.

“All use of force inci-dents by police look awful,”

but they have to be able todo their duty, he said.

Since the video — shotby a nearby resident — sur-faced on WAVY 10,Marshall has reviewed thedeputy’s Taser video,which is activated whenthe weapon is drawn, aswell as additional videosprovided by others at scene.Also available is audiofrom the deputy’s call to

After frenzied discussionsamong Smithfield and Isle ofWight officials in the past twomonths, both have agreed on away to keep the Isle of WightCounty Museum open.

At its June meeting, theSmithfield Town Council willvote on an agreement that saysthe town will pay for the dailyoperations of the museum, in-cluding staffing, from July 1 of

this year until June 30, 2017.The county will be responsible

for maintaining the museumbuilding.

The agreement is silent onhow many employees the townwill retain, but county TourismDirector Judy Winslow, who over-sees the museum and will con-tinue to do so, suggested keeping1.5 employees — a full time direc-tor and a part-time curator —plus part-time docents.

Winslow said that three full-

time employees, plus docents,had previously served the mu-seum, as well as Boykin’s Tavernand Forts Huger and Boykin be-fore the county eliminated theDivision of Historic Resources.

The agreement will automati-cally renew in one-year terms,but either party can end theagreement with written notice nolater than March 1 of each year.

The county will retain owner-ship of the museum building andits artifacts and agrees not to sell

or lease either without Council’spermission.

The museum’s hours will bereduced slightly and will now beopen Monday through Saturday,10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday, noon-4p.m.

The agreement is also silenton the level of funding from allparties, but according to budgetdocuments, the town is planningto contribute $96,743 toward staff-

Broken windows, missingsiding and animal habitation intwo Riverview homes hascaused town officials to contacttwo property owners regardingtheir derelict properties.

At a recent Town Councilmeeting, Riverview residentTina Hill begged the council toseek a resolution to what shecalls “the two worst homes inSmithfield.”

Hill pointed to 211 Washing-ton St. and 200 Riverview Ave.,two derelict properties in theHistoric District that have goneunmaintained for some time.

“They’re really disgusting,”said Hill.

The vacant home at 211Washington has a patchworkappearance, with broken win-dows, missing siding and con-struction materials strewnabout.

At 200 Riverview, overgrownbushes cover the bulk of the va-cant home’s first floor, and bro-

ken windows can be seen fromthe side of the home.

Both homes are considerednon-contributing properties tothe historic district.

Hill says the homes are adanger to children in the areabecause they are inhabited bywildlife and have broken win-

dows and leaking roofs.Hill is also concerned about

the homes’ effects on neighbor-ing home values.

According to countyrecords, Russell Hill of 103Quillens Point in Smithfield isthe owner of 211 WashingtonSt. Hill purchased the property

The Isle of Wight Board ofSupervisors threat to cut offfunding over lack of cooperationin adopting a fire and rescueagreement has led to at least onefire chief threatening to resign.

The Board voted 5-0 Thursdayto withhold funding if fire andrescue leaders don’t sign on to anew facilities use and vehicle ti-tling agreement.

“Shame on you,” was writtenin the subject line of an emailfrom Carrollton Fire Chief JoelAcree to Board Chairman BuzzBailey.

“I am very disappointed in youlack of support for your volun-teers. We are in the process ofcanceling all fundraisers and willlet you know when I resign, pend-ing a department meeting,”Acree wrote after Thursday’smeeting.

Carrsville Supervisor RexAlphin said he’s heardgrumblings from fire chiefs too,but declined to provide more de-tails because the comments weremade in anger.

The Board of Supervisorsvoted 5-0 May 15 to stop fundingby mid-June if five of the sevenvolunteer fire and rescue organi-zations continue to balk at sign-ing the agreements designed tofurther standardize the countiesemergency services division.

So far, only two agencies haveagreed to sign on by the Maydeadline.

“In every situation the em-powerment was given to the vol-unteer agencies, but not all par-ticipated,” Seward said atThursday’s Board meeting.

The agreement outlines theappropriate uses for the fire andrescue building — all county-owned — as well as transfers title

Public-Private lawjust hasn’t worked

Secretary of Transportation Aubrey Layneappears determined to reform the Virginia Pub-lic-Private Transportation Act — the PPTA.

Some things simply to not respond well to ref-ormation, and we suspect the PPTA is one of them.

The PPTA has been around since its adoptionin 1995 and has become the favored method ofbuilding major transportation facilities in Vir-ginia. It has pretty well replaced the old process,known as public bids. Back in the old fashioneddays of the early 1990s — a time when we used tobuild needed roads — the state would determinethat a road or road expansion was needed, engi-neers would draw up plans, advertise for bids and,after evaluating which bidders were qualified todo the work, pick a winner. It was aimed at build-ing roads, bridges and other transportation struc-tures as cost-effectively as possible.

Then, someone had the brilliant idea that if youlet private industry propose projects, or you justsuggested that a road was needed somewhere, pri-vate entrepreneurs would step up and build it atfar less money than if you did it the old way.

It’s hard to imagine what the folks who cameup with this way of doing business might havebeen thinking — or maybe, even, smoking — backthen, but they really appear to have thought thatprivate entrepreneurs would step up and offer tobuild roads for Virginia that would somehow costthe state less than the old bid, borrow and tax topay for it process.

The PPTA has now evolved into the PPPP —Public Pay, Private Profit.

Exhibit one. Gov. Bob McDonnell signed awaythe Elizabeth River tunnels to private investors,allowing them 13-plus percent annual profits andtolls that will total more than $1,000 a year for regu-lar commuters. That deal, you may recall, evenforbids the state from building any other publicroads that the tunnel investors believe is hurtingtheir revenue!

Then came a plan to build a limited access U.S.460 without first receiving wetland disturbancepermits. The state knew the Army Corps of Engi-neers had not issued the permits. Yet, the 460 con-tract was signed and, so far, has cost Virginia tax-payers $280 million. Layne estimates that taxpay-ers may be billed about a half billion dollars —that’s with a B — without a road ever being built.

Layne, to his credit, wants to reform the pro-cess. He at least wants the Commonwealth Trans-portation Board to get cut into the loop of thosewith information about pending boondoggles. Andhe appears willing to let the General Assembly seewhat’s happening before billions are committedtoward a project.

The only folks not yet mentioned as having aninterest in seeing these negotiations are taxpay-ers. Under the old, and some would say, old fash-ioned, low bid system, bid documents were laidout for public inspection as were bids.

Under the PPTA, by the time the public findsout the road is being built, they’re being run overon it by a Mack truck.

It may be possible to reform this law, but ourprediction is that the PPTA will continue to skinVirginia taxpayers as long as it exists.

Summer concertsThe Summer Concert Series begins Friday

Museumis just fineEditor, Smithfield Times

This is in response toMs. Lyons’ letter of May14. Museums do look likebanks, and this one has abeautiful stained glassdome in the top. The Isleof Wight Museum is theunion of two buildings,the Bank of Smithfieldand Golding’s DepartmentStore, which was verypopular in its day. There isno parking problem. Onecan park at the BSV or inseveral locations nearby,and the sign is in eyesightof the stoplights.

The building has beentotally renovated topreserve the artifacts itcontains. The whole pointof closing the museumwas to save money.Relocating it to the edgeof the downtown areawould be costly.

The museum doesmuch to promote history.That is its purpose. Over14,000 visitors a year haveviewed prehistoricartifacts, Indian relics,the evolution of farmingin Isle of Wight County, acountry store, our interac-tion in war and growth asa community. Many alsoenjoy the variety ofbusinesses in downtownand the charm of thebuildings that theyoccupy. What were oncedepartment stores,

hardware store, gasstations, drugstores,restaurants and Victorianhomes now entice visitorsto shop. Many other smalltowns have also rein-vented their buildings.That’s what makes eachof them unique.

Anyone whohas doubts aboutthe value of theBoy Scout pro-gram need onlyread the story onPage 1 of lastweek’s SmithfieldTimes describingthe courageousrescue of a man by two localscouts and their leader.

The most local of the three isKirk Ring, 14-year-old son of Kirkand Amy Ring of Smithfield. Theother two are Suffolk Scout LeaderDavid Robinson and his son Tyler.

As the story re-lated, the threewere returningfrom a scout outingwhen they cameupon a wreck onU.S. 17 in YorkCounty. The driverwas unconsciousand pinned in the

wrecked car he was driving, andsmoke was rising out of the automo-bile.

The Robinsons and Ring cut awaythe unconscious man’s seatbelt. Theythen worked to free him from the en-gine block that trapped him inside,

and dragged him free of the car.And they did so as the car wasbursting into flames. Within min-utes, fire consumed the vehicle.

The victim of that wreck sur-vived because this young adultand two scouts didn’t hesitate tohelp, despite significant risk totheir safety. They exhibited thenot only the finest tradition ofscouting but of mankind. Theygot involved and, because theydid, good things happened.

It’s a pretty simple lesson, andone that the Boy Scouts regularly

Mrs. Holt, wholives in Rescue, has been anavid gardener who hasloved sharing her garden-ing experience — the fail-ures as well as successes —with all who read thisnewspaper.

The Smithfield Times - Wed., May 21, 2014 -

Carrsville realityEditor, Smithfield Times

The Smithfield Times article of May 14, 2014,“Carrsville Needs Students” brought back somepolitical memories.

I attended Carrsville Elementary School until Icompleted the eighth grade and transferred toWindsor High School. During the time I was atCarrsville, the school was a busy place.

During my brief time on the Board of Supervi-sors in 1995, it was difficult for me to vote againstcontinuing to upgrade Carrsville ElementarySchool. I had a very close feeling for CarrsvilleElementary School. One of my fellow members onthe Board took a realistic position, however, whenhe maintained that the per-student cost of operat-ing the school was simply too much. Carrsville, tohim, was in essence being run like a private schoolbut on taxpayer dollars. In other words, it made nosense to spend that much to keep up or re-build inthat location and pay staff at the per student cost.Numbers didn’t justify it. The children needed tobe sent to another facility even if it meant a longerride, regardless of the sentimental attachment tosuch an honored institution. I knew that a vote byme to close Carrsville School would upset a lot ofpeople and many would think that I had forsakenmy heritage. When it came time to vote on continu-ing the Carrsville School and upgrading it, the votewas 3 to upgrade and 2 against. I was outvoted. Ivoted my conviction, however, and was in theminority.

At the time, I leaned toward building a facilitypossibly in the Walters area, within reasonabledistance of the Windsor precinct and the village ofCarrsville. After the vote, I asked one of the threevoters in favor of building a new Carrsville facilitywhat was his logic. He told me simply “Carrsvilleneeds something.”

Carrsville got it. Running Carrsville School foryears has been a drain on county funding, iffigured on a cost per student basis. That is not tosay that Carrsville School has not done a good jobat educating children. Everyone knows it has donethat very well. But everyone also knows very well,or they should know, that any school with the samenumber of students would have no excuse for notachieving excellence. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyschool could be like Carrsville?

The Smithfield Times article of May 14 cites along history of suggested closure of the CarrsvilleSchool for lack of numbers and cost to operate perstudent going all the way back to 1974, some 40years ago, under Superintendent C. Curtis Dixon.The County has yet to “bite the bullet” and face thefacts. Carrsville has changed since I was in theeighth grade. County debt has changed. Commonsense has not changed.

Recent reports of the new Georgie Tyler Schoolbeing built too large for its expected studentpopulation should give both the School Board andBoard of Supervisors reason to think aboutresearching actual needs very carefully before anyfuture projects get a green light.

Aerial photograph of the Benn’s Grant area, located on the west side of Hwy. 10 at Benn’s Church.Changes have occurred since the photograph was made in 2007.


Isle of Wight Countywill have some control overthe final outcome of theborrow pits that are locatedat Benn’s Grant.

As a sand mining opera-tion, Isle of Wight Materi-als has long held miningpermits with the VirginiaDepartment of Mines, Min-erals and Energy and fourare currently active, saidPhil Skorupa, area supervi-sor for eastern Virginia.

Many have describedthe property, located on thewest side of Route 10, aslooking like a “moon-scape,” with concernsabout how it will look in thefuture.

As the landowners pro-ceed with developing theproperty — it was rezonedin 2009 as a multi-use devel-opment — the constructionplans will have to includehow the land will be re-shaped and reclaimed fromits current use, Skorupasaid.

It is at that point that thecounty can weigh in on thatpart of the project,Skorupa.

The county also has anordinance concerning thereclamation of mined land,as well as requiring thelandowner to secure a bondto further assure that thework will be done. Ulti-mately, the reclamation hasto be approved by thecounty’s zoning adminis-trator, according to the or-dinance.

Landowner Richard

Benn’s borrow pits await reclamation

Smithfield Times File Photo

Turner said some of theborrow pits are being lev-eled out for use as buildableproperty, while it appearsthat three additional minedareas can be sloped andturned into lakes that willbecome a recreational fea-ture of the development.

Other areas can beturned into BMPs, Turnersaid.

However, the currentpermits — which call forthe land to be used for rec-reation, agriculture and ir-

rigation — will remain inplace until Isle of WightCounty gives final approvalto construction plans,Skorupa said.

At that time, a new per-mit will be issued that in-cludes plans for how theproperty will be reclaimedas part of the residentialand commercial develop-ment.

The 253-acre develop-ment, located on the westside of Benn’s Church Bou-levard, is zoned for 289

single-family homes, 31townhouses and 240 apart-ments. It also includes700,000 square feet of com-mercial development and ahotel. Located next door isthe future Riverside Medi-cal Complex, which was re-zoned separately.

It is during the construc-tion plan approval phasethat county officials willget to weigh in on any rec-lamation plans, Skorupasaid.

There were some ponds

included in the originalplans, but there will prob-ably be revisions as the de-velopment process contin-ues, said Windsor Supervi-sor Dee Dee Darden. Benn’sGrant was moved into theWindsor District after thecounty underwent redis-tricting in 2011.

Darden pointed to sev-eral ponds located on theother side of Route 10 thatwere once borrow pits.

“Those are the perfectexample of what it should

look like,” Darden said.Skorupa said there are

many developments andareas in the HamptonRoads area that wereformer borrow pits, includ-ing Sherwood Lakes in Vir-ginia Beach and Lone StarLakes and Davis Lakes inSuffolk.

Skorupa said the con-tour of the land is deter-mined by the site plans, andif it’s seeded and smoothedprior to construction, it allmight have to be undoneanyway if the plans differ.

As a result, the reclama-tion project can only be de-scribed as “fluid,” he said.

For example, plans forBenn’s Grant havedownsized considerablysince first proposed by Vir-ginia Beach-based devel-oper Armada Hoffleraround 2006. That’s whenthe development included618 acres, nearly 1,100houses and a Walmart, aswell as additional commer-cial space.

Skorupa said the statehas the power to enforcereclamation if the operatoror landowner fails to act.

In that case the bondheld by the county — withmoney provided by the op-erator — can be forfeitedand that state will completethe work.

However, such a sce-nario is rare, Skorupa said.

“It won’t gounreclaimed.”

“In this case they aredoing reclamation and areworking towards an ulti-mate plan,” Skorupa said.


WINDSOR — A Windsormobile home park ownerwants the town to lift itsban on trailers older than10 years — or at least allowthem on a case-by-case ba-sis.

Martha Newsome,owner of Windsor Manormobile home park, recentlytold the Windsor TownCouncil that she’s had toturn away good prospectivetenants because of thetown’s ordinance againstolder mobile homes.

Windsor Planning andZoning Director DennisCarney said that two mo-bile home owners wereturned away last year be-cause their units were 2001and 2002 models.

They were in “very goodshape,” he said.

Mobile home age restriction debatedThe town of Windsor

ordinance bans mobilehomes from coming intotown if its manufacturingdate is more than 10 yearsfrom the date of the zoningpermit application.

The town of Windsorhas four mobile home com-munities — the most in Isleof Wight County.

Newsome said that allmobile homes coming intoa mobile home park mustundergo an inspection oftheir wiring, plumbing andother necessities beforethey can be located there.

And while Newsome re-quires the outside of themobile home be main-tained, “How they want tolive inside the home, I don’tcare,” she said.

Newsome said the oldestmobile home she would ac-cept would be a late 1990s

model, depending on itsoutside appearance.Newsome suggested thetown require potential resi-dents with older mobilehomes to provide a photo-graph before having theirunits approved.

Mayor Rita Richardsonsaid the ordinance needs tobe enforced if it’s on thebooks, but that it can bechanged.

Town Manager MichaelStallings said it could bemade part of the zoningappeals process, and that itcould include guidelines.

Town staff was asked tolook at the ordinances con-

cerning mobile homes inother localities, as well aslook at revising the ordi-nance at the planning com-mission level.

The town of Smithfielddoes not have an age re-striction on mobile homescoming into the town.

Kent Hildebrand, whomanages Red Oaks MobileHome Park, said the countyrequires that units bemanufactured after 1977when federal standardsconcerning mobile homeskicked in.

He said individual mo-bile home parks have theirown limits, and in the case

of Red Oaks, units olderthan 10 years require aninspection and any neces-sary repairs before locatingthere.

Stallings did not knowwhen or why the 10-year

limit came about since itwas in effect when he be-gan working there in 2006.

Mobile homes ownerspay the real estate tax rateof 10 cents per $100 invalue.

A sign of when to plant your vegetable garden is afterthe forsythia start to bloom. This is usually reliable ifyour plants love cool weather and frost is unlikely. Youmay be easily fooled by wonderful, sunny days andwarmer nights as well. Watch out. Cold, rainy days arestill waiting to push aside the illusion that has manyeager gardeners dreaming of being the first to have earlyproduce on their table. Peas are one of the vegetablesthat thrive with early planting and there is nothingtastier than fresh dug potatoes cooked along with thepeas and a few early scallions. Lets dwell on potatoes andthe various ways to plant them. Unlike the peas, pota-toes are not as thrilled about being planted too early.

Soil is always, with no exceptions that I know of, themost important factor for successful gardening. Twoparts soil and one part compost is often used, however Iprefer a little more soil (3/4 to 1/4) with an ample mix-ture of worm castings, mushroom and Great Earth fer-tilizers. These fertilizers are fantastic and enhance thesoil providing important nutrients.

There are several ways to plant your potatoes. Theyinclude these seven: hilled rows, straw mulch, raised bed,grow bag, garbage bag, wood box and wire cylinder.

Two favorites are the hilled row and raised bed meth-ods. The hilled row is simple, inexpensive, and practi-cal. Dig straight shallow trenches two to three feet apartafter preparing the soil. Plant seed potatoes 12 inchesapart and cover with about three inches of soil shovel-ing more when the shoots reach 10 to12 inches tall. Coverabout half way and as the plant grows, add more soil tokeep the tubers covered. This is a good time to add a littlemore compost. The raised bed is very similar and oftenyields are larger and uniform. This is a good methodwhen soil is heavy and poorly drained, however requiresfilling the bed and removing sides to harvest.

The hilled row planting has been tried and proven formany years and recommended over any of the six otherlisted.Gwen HoltMaster Gardener

Invite Father to High SchoolGraduationBy Dr. Robert WallaceCreators syndicate

Dr. Wallace,I will be graduating this year. Each graduating stu-

dent is allowed to invite up to six guests and is givensix tickets. Our graduation will be in our gymna-sium, which holds about 1,000 people. My six ticketswill go to my mother, two brothers and a sister, plusmy mother’s parents. My parents have been divorcedfor over five years and, other than paying supportfor his children, my dad has no contact with our fam-ily. That’s because my mother wants it that way. Shewants nothing to do with my dad.

Dad remarried about a year ago. I keep up withhis whereabouts by calling his mother, my othergrandma. About a month ago I asked my grandma ifmy dad would like to come to my high school gradu-ation. She said she would find out. I called her yes-terday and she said that dad would be thrilled to seehis daughter graduate. I told my mother that I wasplanning on inviting dad to the graduation ceremonyand she seemed very surprised and stammered, “Allsix of your tickets are spoken for.” I told her that myfriend was only going to use three of her six ticketsand she would give me the extras. Mom then said,“If that’s your wish, invite your dad, but I would hopethat you wouldn’t invite his wife.”

Should I honor Mom’s wish or should I tell dadthat his wife is also invited? Please tell me what todo. I really need your help.— Lisa, Garden Grove, Calif.

LISA,Invite both your father and your stepmother, and

with the extra ticket, also invite your dad’s mother.You only graduate from high school one time andshould have as many who love you as possible toshare in your wonderful experience!

Dr. Wallace,My 17-year-old cousin keeps telling his friends and

relatives, including me, that he is tired of life and isthinking about committing suicide. His parents saythat he is not serious about his threats and that he isjust trying to draw attention to himself.

I think that all suicide threats should be taken se-riously, but even my parents don’t believe that he willkill himself. They think that his parents know himvery well and that he says that he is going to kill him-self every time he does something wrong and isgrounded.

Please tell me the warning signs of a potential sui-cide victim. We live next door to him and I see himevery day.— Nameless, Portland, Ore.

Nameless,Every suicide threat should be taken seriously.

Your aunt and uncle should get a psychiatric evalua-tion on their son.

According to Lillian Beard, M.D., an expert in ado-lescent health, the most common warning signs of apotential suicide are a change in eating or sleepingpatterns, withdrawal from family and friends, a de-cline in the quality of schoolwork, violent or rebel-lious behavior, a noticeable personality change, un-usual neglect of appearance, drug or alcohol abuse,or the giving away of treasured items.Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.Although he is unable to reply to all of them individu-ally, he will answer as many as possible in this col-umn.

Isle of Wight SheriffMark Marshall fulfilled acampaign promise recently,but it took a little longerthan initially thought.

The Isle of WightSheriff ’s Office wasawarded accreditation sta-tus May 15 by the VirginiaLaw Enforcement Profes-sional Standards Commis-sion, under the auspices ofthe Virginia Department ofCriminal Justice Services.

When running for sher-iff in 2011, Marshall esti-mated the process would becompleted in one year. Ittook two years and threemonths.

The agency had to startfrom scratch — as therewere no policies in placewhen he took office, theMarshall said.

Marshall showed off anearly 8-inch tall policymanual written since hetook office.

The policies cover all as-pects of conduct at thesheriff ’s office, from filingan employee grievance totraffic control. In additionto devising the policies, thedeputies then had to betrained — and tested — onthe material, Marshallsaid.

Once the policies aredrawn up, outside asses-sors visit the agency andperform a series of assess-ments. The process culmi-nates in a final assessmentand then a vote by the com-mission.

The assessors examinethe agency “from soup tonuts,” Marshall said, add-ing that it includes ride-alongs with deputies.

Currently, Isle of Wightis one of 91 agencies out of400 eligible in Virginia to beaccredited.

The evidence room is oneof the most difficult areasof the agency to meet ac-creditation standards,Marshall said.

How the evidence roomis run can determine theoutcome of a prosecution,he said.

“It speaks to the integ-rity and how we conduct in-vestigations,” Marshallsaid.

Prior to Marshall takingoffice, deputies were attimes allowed to carry evi-dence in their glove boxesand trunks rather than fol-lowing a strict chain of cus-tody procedure.

Marshall said that earn-ing accreditation cuts downon use of force incidents aswell as complaints from thecommunity. At the same

time, it increases the con-fidence in the agency, hesaid.

“Isle of Wight residentscan take pride in that wefollow the best practicesand procedures and askfor an outside review … weare accountable to thepeople,” he said.

Accreditation is goodfor four years, at whichtime an agency seeking re-accreditation must begin

the process anew.This is the second

agency Marshall has led tostate accreditation. Whilechief of the Smithfield Po-lice Department, Marshallpushed for, and obtainedaccreditation in 2000, and itwas reaccredited in 2008under his watch.Smithfield has since beenreaccredited a third timeunder Police Chief SteveBowman.

The Isle of WightCounty School Board andFarmers Bank have teamedup under a state program toreduce energy coststhrough a series of build-ing upgrades.

The project, valued at $7million, includes replacinglighting and controls atmost Isle of Wight schools.Westside ElementarySchool will see the biggestchanges, with new win-dows and a new HVAC sys-tem. Hardy ElementarySchool will also receive anew HVAC system.

The work is being doneby Ameresco, an energy ef-ficiency management com-pany approved as a vendorby the Virginia Depart-ment of General Services.

The company has donesimilar work for NewportNews and Henrico schools.

Local bank, schoolsannounce plans tosave energy costs

By making building up-grades, the school districtwill realize significant en-ergy savings, which canthen be used to make theannual payment on a lease-savings agreement withFarmers Bank, said Chris-tina Berta, school executivedirector of finance andbudget, at a meeting Thurs-day with members of theIsle of Wight Board of Su-pervisors.

If savings, which beginin the first year, are not re-alized, the company has topay the lease for that year,Berta added.

Of all the financial insti-tutions that bid on theproject, Farmers Bank wasthe only bank that providedthe 18-year term, 3.85 per-cent interest rate and nopre-payment penaltiesneeded for the project,Berta said.

There is no liability to

the county, she added.“This isn’t costing the

taxpayers one thin dime,”said School Board memberRobert Eley at Thursday’sregular meeting.

Work on the schools willbegin the day after classesend in June.

Isle of Wight CountySuperintendent KatrisePerera said it will be an in-convenience to staff overthe summer but “it’s worthit to have fresh air and goodlighting.”

Richard Ritter, spokes-man for Ameresco, said theprojected annual energysavings of $397,793 a yearand provides the pollutionprevention equivalent toplanting nearly 2,000 treesor removing 505 cars fromthe road.

The project will be over-seen by the Virginia De-partment of Mines, Miner-als and Energy.


Local legislators gottesty over whether Virginiashould expand Medicaid aspart of the federal Afford-able Care Act recently atthe Isle of Wight Chamberof Commerce’s annual postlegislative breakfast.

The Democrats and Gov.Terry McAuliffe are “hold-ing the people of Virginiahostage” over Medicaid,said Del. Rick Morris, R-64th.

Morris, and fellow Re-publican Senator JohnCosgrove, 14th, were char-acteristically opposed tothe state taking the federalMedicaid expansion as partof the ACA, and want theissue separated from thestate’s biennial budget —which remains with thesenate finance committee.

So far, the Democratcontrolled Senate haspassed a budget that in-cludes Medicaid expan-sion. The House of Del-egates, controlled by theGOP, continues to oppose it.

“We’re going to get Med-icaid expanded in Virginia… and the government willnot shut down,” said Sen.Louise Lucas, D-18th, whospent some time toutingthe achievements of Gov.Terry McAuliffe’s first 100days in office.

Morris said he was gladthe government wasn’t indanger of being shut down— a threat being bandiedabout as the General As-sembly works to get its bud-get passed.

“Government hasstepped in and assumed therole of charity,” Morrissaid of Medicaid and theAffordable Care Act, add-ing that government hastaken away the responsibil-ity of the public to providecompassionate care forthemselves and others.

“Obamacare itself is atrain wreck,” he said.

Lucas disagreed.If Medicaid isn’t ex-

panded, what happens tothe mentally disabled andmentally ill people now liv-

Medicaid rift obviousduring local chat

ing and working in state fa-cilities, Lucas asked.

“You tell me that John Q.Public has the compassionto take care of all thesepeople and their needs?”

Lucas warned that hos-pitals would close if Med-icaid isn’t expanded — andthat its time Virginia getsits Medicaid contributionback from the federal gov-ernment.

“If Virginia doesn’t ex-pand Medicaid, people willget sicker, people will dieand hospitals will close,”Lucas said.

Cosgrove pointed outthat healthcare is not in theBill of Rights. It’s an en-titlement, he said.

Cosgrove said Medicaidpatients abuse the systemby going to the hospital fora “tummy-ache,” which re-sults in too many tests andinadequate reimburse-ments.

Medicaid needs to be re-formed before it is ex-panded in Virginia, he said.

Morris said governmentneeds to get out ofhealthcare and let capital-ism, innovation and compe-tition do the job.

Lucas said patients go-ing to the hospital becausethey lack health care andaccess to a doctor isn’t theanswer because it in-creases costs.

Sick people can’t workand can’t learn, Lucas said.

“If you don’t have anyanswers, don’t block Medic-aid expansion,” she said.

Part of the AffordableCare Act allows states toexpand its Medicaid cover-age, with the federal gov-ernment picking up the tabfor the first three years andmost of it beyond that.

There were a few ques-tions beyond healthcareand Medicaid, namely thefuture of the Route 460project and when and ifVirginia plans to integratethe “Common Core” in edu-cation.

Unlike Medicaid, theRoute 460 project is sup-ported by Cosgrave, Morrisand Lucas as an alternate

evacuation route as well asan artery for increased porttraffic.

Lucas criticized formerGov. Bob McDonnell forspending $240 million oftaxpayer money withoutfirst obtaining the neces-sary permits from theArmy Corps of Engineers— the same environmentalpermits that are now hold-ing up the project.

“To spend $240 millionwithout putting a shovel inthe ground doesn’t makesense,” she said.

Morris was adamantthat “the 460 project is notdead … we will have a new460.”

State transportation of-ficials have estimated itwill take a year to resolvethe environmental permitswith the Corps of Engi-neers. In the meantime,VDOT is looking at severalalternatives — and mostinvolve adding lanes to thecurrent Route 460.

In addition to providingan alternate evacuationroute, the new Route 460has long been considered akey component on the fu-ture development of Isle ofWight’s intermodal park.

Common Core is a na-tional initiative to developa set of college and career-ready standards for kinder-garten through 12th gradein English and math. So far,44 states have voluntarilyadopted the standards, butVirginia is not one of them.

Lucas said it was up tothe General Assembly toadopt Common Core andshe didn’t know when andif that would occur.

Morris and Cosgrovewere adamantly opposed toCommon Core.

Cosgrove called it “acommon rotten to thecore,” with “ridiculous”teaching methods thatwould be a “disservice toour children.”

Morris said that it’s upto local school boards todecide because “govern-ment at its lowest levelworks best.”

It’s about that timeagain.

Five years after beingdredged, parts of the PaganRiver are silting up and theSmithfield Town Council isasking for another roundof dredging.

Members of theSmithfield Town Councillobbied CongressmanRandy Forbes to urge theArmy Corps of Engineersto re-dredge a portion ofthe Pagan River known asBob Shoal.

The quarter- to half-milestretch of water is locatednear red marker 15 and itsbanks border theMoonefield neighbor ofSmithfield.

Council member Randy

Pack said the area, whichwas last dredged in 2009, issupposed to be 8 feet deepat low tide.

Right now, it’s about 4 1/2 feet deep, said Pack.

The river easily accom-modates small boats with adraw of about 3 feet, saidPack.

But larger vessels, those40 feet or more, require a 5-foot clearance.

Pack, who is part ownerof Smithfield Station, saidboaters call his marina tocheck the river’s depth andconsult tide charts beforemaking the trip toSmithfield.

Some decide it’s notworth the risk, he said.

Boats that run agroundcan suffer ruined propel-lers and engines, as well as

generators and air condi-tioning units gunked withmud, he said.

By deepening the river,and thus welcoming largervessels, the town could seea boost in its sales, mealsand occupancy taxes, hesaid.

According to Town Man-ager Peter Stephenson, theCorps periodically dredgesthe river but not without arequest from the town.

Forbes agreed to pushthe Corps to meet withtown officials but cau-tioned that the Corps’ fund-ing has dropped severely inrecent years.

The Corps is “fightingfor survival,” said Forbes,adding that much of its se-nior leadership has left and

its colonel rotates everytwo years, making for weak“institutional memory.”

In 2009, the Corps spent$1.7 million in AmericanRecovery Resource Actmoney, also known asstimulus funds, to dredgethe river.

At the time, it was saidto take up to 120 days andremove 65,000 cubic yardsof dredge material.

The Corps began dredg-ing the river in the 1800s toaccommodate steamboatsbut adjusted its dredgingdepth after the James RiverBridge brought the end ofsteamboat and commercialtraffic on the Pagan.

In 1994, the river wasdredged to just 6 feet forrecreational boat traffic.

of all vehicles — either pur-chased in full or in part bythe county — to Isle ofWight.

Seward said Isle ofWight is trying to correctcertain practices, such aswhen the Windsor Volun-teer Rescue Squad put aused ambulance up for salealong Route 460 — althoughthe county had paid for it.Members of the Isle ofWight Rescue Squad saw it,needed an ambulance andgot the county to buy it —for a second time.

“Clearly incidents haveoccurred that brought us tothis point,” she said in aninterview Friday.

In making her presenta-tion Thursday to the Boardof Supervisors, Sewardsaid the fire and rescuechiefs were asked to pro-vide input and offerchanges to the documentbut failed to do so.

The Smithfield Volun-teer Fire Department andthe Isle of Wight VolunteerRescue Squad were theonly agencies that have ei-ther signed the agreementor verbally stated theywould, Seward said.

“There’s a lot of differ-ent opinions. It’s thetaxpayer’s money,” said Isleof Wight Volunteer RescueSquad Chief Brian Carroll.

Smithfield acknowl-edges that it needs to workwith the county, saidSmithfield Assistant FireChief William Britt.

A few years ago,Smithfield received a newstation, built by the county,and the rescue squad willsoon be moving into its newfacility — also paid for bythe county.

The Carrollton Volun-teer Fire Department,which also provides rescueservices, does not yet feelcomfortable with the agree-ment and would prefer towait until the county hiresa new director of emer-gency management afterlong-time Director RustyChase retired April 30, saidCarrollton Volunteer FireDepartment Chief JoelAcree.

Acree said it’s also mat-ter of trust and wanted toknow how this had evenbecome an issue in the firstplace.

“I always thought wewere appreciated for whatwe did.”

Members of theWindsor Volunteer FireDepartment and RescueSquads point out that amemorandum of under-standing was signed in 2008between the two agencies,the town of Windsor andthe Isle of Wight Board ofSupervisors.

According to the MOU,the town of Windsoragreed to give its fire andrescue buildings to thecounty once the two agen-cies were combined at onelocation. At the same time,the agencies would retainownership of its equip-ment and personnel. TheBoard of Supervisors also

purchased a piece of landadjacent to the WindsorFire Department buildingin 2011 — at nearly twicethe assessed value — for itsfuture expansion.

The goal of the WindsorMOU was to establish anagency similar to the oneformerly planned inSmithfield — with theSmithfield Fire Depart-ment and Isle of Wight Res-cue Squad located in onebuilding,

However, that plan wasrejected by an earlierBoard of Supervisors ma-jority and now both agen-cies have their own sepa-rate and new multi-milliondollar facilities.

“What I hear is you wantto make all the depart-ments the same,” saidWindsor firefighter JesseGwaltney.

“If something’s notbroke, why fix it?”

Gwaltney wanted toknow if the MOU was con-sidered a legal documentand what sort of impact thefacilities and vehicle titlingagreement would have, ifsigned.

The Windsor TownCouncil declined to com-ment on the issue whenasked about it at its May 13meeting.

“It is not appropriate tocomment right now,” saidMayor Rita Richardson.

“We are very concerned.It has to do with the safetyof our citizens,” she said.

The Board of Supervi-sors voted 5-0 Thursday totake another look at theWindsor MOU to see if thecounty can continue tomove forward with the fa-cilities use and vehicle ti-tling agreement.

Windsor Supervisor DeeDee Darden said thatcounty still plans to takeaction at its June 19 meet-ing.

In her presentationThursday, Seward said thecurrent system lacks ex-pectations as to what eachagency will provide, whichcreates misunderstandingand discontent.

Other issues — althoughdetails were not provided— include inconsistent andunauthorized technologybeing placed in stationsand requiring county staffto use tax dollars to installor replace it. Seward citedinappropriate use of gov-ernment assets and of theinternet for non-permitteduse, as well as some sales ofassets purchased with pu-bic funds and thus removedfrom the public’s benefit.

“Currently, expensiveand debt-financed fire andrescue vehicles purchasedwith taxpayer funds are nottitled to the taxpayer, butrather are given to the vol-unteer organizations withno protection of public in-vestment,” Seward said.

Acree said Carrolltonhas vehicles paid for, inpart, by donations. He saidall of the agencies takegreat pride in their ve-hicles — with unique logos,names and colors.

“We take great care of

our trucks and you takecare of them becausethey’re literally yours,”Acree said.

All of the volunteer fireand rescue organizationsare separate non-profit cor-porations, Acree said.

It is written in theircharters that if they fold,all of the assets revert tothe county, he said.

“It makes you wonderwhat the true agenda is.”

This isn’t the first timeIsle of Wight County’s ef-forts to standardize the fireand rescue agencies hasmet with resistance.

Two years ago, theBoard appointed a taskforce to look at responsetimes, providing adequatepaid personnel and howeach organization reportedits income and expendi-tures.

At the time, reportingvaried widely betweenagencies, with some pro-viding detailed informa-tion and others just broadcategories.

Part of the impetus forthe proposed task force wasthe county’s decision a fewyears ago to fully fund eachdepartment Another driverfor the task force is the in-creasing reliance on paidstaff due to a decline involunteerism.

Public safety spendinghas significantly increasedin Isle of Wight County inthe past six years.

In 2008, Isle of Wightbudgeted $2.03 million forfire, rescue and emergencymanagement in its generalfund budget — not includ-ing capital expenses suchas new fire trucks.

For fiscal 2015, thosesame services are budgetedfor $4.13 million — a $2 mil-lion increase.


BHAR to move ahead withrenovations in April 2013.

At the time, Hill said thehome had no siding. Morethan a year later, the home,which still has no siding,appears untouched.

Stephenson said Hilltold Town Planning Direc-tor Bill Hopkins he stoppedwork during the renovationand the property was van-dalized.

Stephenson said theowner has promised to re-sume work on the house nolater than the second weekof June.

A request for commentto Hill was not returned bypress time.

As for 200 RiverviewAve., county records showKatherine Taylor and An-drea Taylor-Claud as itsowners.

The two’s address islisted as a post office boxaddress in Suffolk.

dispatch for backup.So far, however, no video

portraying the attemptedstrangulation has surfaced.If anyone has a video oradditional witnesses, theSheriff ’s Office would liketo view it, Marshall said.

The incident occurredSaturday, May 10 at about7:20 p.m. when an Isle ofWight deputy was makinga routine patrol ofSmithfield Heights Drive.While driving by, Lawsused his hand to strike thedeputy’s vehicle.

Marshall said thedeputy slowed, rolled downhis window and askedLaws what the problemwas. Laws then reached hishands inside the vehicle,

ing.As of Monday evening,

the Town Council had notyet agreed on a way to bud-get for that funding.

Treasurer Ellen Mingaoffered several options, butultimately suggested re-ducing discounts on mealsand transient occupancytaxes and raising the ciga-

rette tax.The county has agreed

to pay for insurance, elec-tricity, water and IT sup-port for about $30,000.

That leaves $26,235 leftto be funded by private par-ties for odd items like post-age, custodial services andmarketing.

Isle of Wight MuseumFoundation PresidentAnne Edwards said her

foundation will provide$5,000 on top of its usualfunding efforts, but only forartifact preservation andstorage.

Council memberspressed Edwards to hold afundraiser to pay for otherexpenses but Edwards saidit wasn’t within theFoundation’s bylaws toraise money for anythingother than artifact preser-

vation and storage andsupplemental programs.

Town Attorney BillRiddick and Council mem-ber Andrew Gregory askedwhether the Foundationcould amend its bylaws toraise funds for operations.

“They were not willingat that time,” said Edwards,referring to Foundationmembers’ sentiments atthe Foundation’s most re-cent meeting.

“There could be a com-mission in this town toraise the money,” saidEdwards.

“There is. It’s the Foun-dation,” said Cook.

Exasperated, the TownCouncil ended the discus-sion, and Isle of Wight His-torical Society presidentLee Duncan, who is also amember of the museumfoundation, stepped in topledge a $5,000 matchinggrant to the museum.

Still unfunded isroughly $16,000 in variousexpenses, which Cook sug-gested would go unfundedunless monies can be

raised.Council members are

still toying with ways tobridge the gap includingcharging a $3 admissionprice to adults, which theythink will bring in about$30,000 based on admissionfigures from last year.

At its June 10 TownCouncil meeting, councilmembers will decidewhether to approve theagreement.

They will also decidewhether to allow the cur-rent employees to stay onthe county’s payroll orwhether to assume themunder their own.

There are some differ-ences in transferring theemployees to the town’sbooks, including increasedcontributions to Virginia’sretirement system, loss inaccrued vacation and sickleave.

Minga estimated thetown could save as much as$1,600 by adding the em-ployees to the town’s roster.

The majority of councilmembers said they’d rather

the employees stay oncounty books to avoid anyfurther disruption to theirlives.

Cook disagreed.“I am not a fan of just

striking a check and lettingsomeone else run the sys-tem,” he said.

Cook and council mem-ber Mike Smith remainskeptical that the countywill be able to resume op-erations in three years.

Instead of dickeringover the details of wherethe employees will go,Smith said not to overana-lyze the situation, savetime and keep the employ-ees with the county.

Town Manager PeterStephenson said bringingthe employees on as townemployees would also com-plicate the chain of com-mand.

Taylor and Taylor-Claudpurchased the property inDecember 2006.

The home had beenposted for sale as recentlyas last year.

Stephenson said theowners have been sent a let-ter. Hopkins confirmedthat the letter requestedthat repairs be made to thehouse.

This is the fourth timein the past year that theTown has had to contactowners regarding derelictproperties.

The Town recently esca-lated the issue of the dilapi-dated 1730s “Pierceville”home, owned by Mary DelkCrocker, to the county’s in-spection department.

The 502 Grace St. home— considered a landmarkin the historic district —was subject to a county in-spection.

The county was satisfiedwhen Crocker put the homeup for sale. She reportedly

has a developer interestedin buying the property,which was listed for sale at$2 million.

The town also took theformer owner of the oldSmithfield Shoe Repairbuilding at 17 Main Streetto court recently.

However, that situationchanged when the propertygot a new owner, Marvin L.Johns.

Since then, the newproperty owner has ob-tained the necessary per-mits to make the improve-ments, said Stephenson.

The circa 1880-1900building is teetering onwhat the town calls “demo-lition by neglect.”

An ordinance enacted in1979 allows the town to pro-tect buildings that are con-sidered essential to the his-toric district.

It is not a landmarkbuilding, but is considereda contributing structure.

Marshall said.The deputy had to open

his door to move Laws outof the way, and eventuallystopped and got out. Whenthe deputy stepped outsidehis vehicle, he found Lawswas intoxicated and disor-derly, Marshall said.

The deputy called forexpedited backup,Marshall said.

When the deputy at-tempted to arrest Laws, thesuspect became aggressiveand attempted to stranglehim. During the struggle,the two fell against the ve-hicle.

The deputy asked an in-dividual for help during thestruggle and the manturned his back and walkedaway, Marshall said.

The deputy again tried

to handcuff the suspect,but Laws continued tostruggle; the deputy thenused his Taser to subduehim. An additional deputyarrived on the scene, andbegan to provide medicalassistance to Laws untilemergency services re-sponded, according to theIsle of Wight CountySheriff ’s Office.

The Smithfield Policealso responded to the inci-dent.

While being treated onthe scene, the suspect ex-pressed remorse and apolo-gized to the deputy he hadassaulted.

Laws was taken toSentara Obici hospital,treated for a head woundsustained during his fall,and released. He was sub-sequently arrested onfelony, misdemeanor andtraffic charges and is cur-rently being held at West-ern Tidewater RegionalJail without bond.

In a prepared statement,the Sheriff ’s Office said apreliminary investigationof this incident revealedthat the actions of thedeputy are consistent withand comport with theagency use of force policy;however, the matter wasstill under review. Thedeputy received minor in-juries and has returned tofull duty.

East West Communitiesplans to build 280 single-family homes and 40townhouses at Benn’sGrant.

The company plans toget started on the processsoon, said Branch Lawson,president of the HamptonRoads division of East WestCommunities.

East West built EagleHarbor and Founder’sPoint in the northern partof Isle of Wight County.

Lawson was available

East West to build out Benn’s GrantCompany developed Gatling Point, Eagle Harborfor questions from the Isleof Wight Board of Supervi-sors as it approved profferamendments Thursday forBenn’s Grant.

The appearance of thedevelopment has changedfrom the trendy “New Ur-banism” look with smallerlots, rear vehicle alleys andabundant pedestrian ac-cess to a more commonfront-loading garage ar-rangement.

The proffer amend-ments also deleted the re-quirement to restore thehistoric Charles Driver Jor-dan House, which the Isleof Wight Historical Societyonce vehemently fought foras the development wentthrough the rezoning pro-cess.

Unable to raise themoney to restore the circa1858 house, the HistoricalSociety gave it back to the

landowners.Landowner Richard

Turner said the house willbe demolished, but woodwould be made available tohomeowners for use asmantles and other trim inthe new houses, as well asin the development’s club-house.

A memorial will also beerected in thedevelopment’s park provid-ing the history of the houseand surrounding property,especially during the CivilWar when soldiers campedthere.

“This history would liveon and the wood in thehouse would be available touse in the houses,” Turnersaid, adding that usingwood from historic homesin new construction has

been done with success inRichmond.

“It’s a positive thing,” hesaid.

The 253-acre develop-ment, located on the westside of Benn’s Church Bou-levard, is zoned for 289single-family homes, 31townhouses and 240 apart-ments. It also includes700,000 square feet of com-mercial development and ahotel. Located next door isthe future Riverside Medi-cal Complex, which was re-zoned separately.

Benn’s Grant was re-zoned in 2009, but has satdormant since the onset ofthe Great Recession.

Also included in theamendments is allowingfor the issuance of 89 cer-tificates of occupancy for

the single family andtownhouse units beforecompleting all roadway im-provements.

The current proffers callfor all road improvements,including the Benn’sChurch intersection, to becompleted before any cer-tificates of occupancy areissued.

Last year, Isle of WightCounty agreed to front the$5 million needed for theBenn’s Church intersectionimprovements, with halfeventually being reim-bursed with VDOT revenuesharing funds. The countyplans to recoup its $2.5 mil-lion investment throughproffers from the develop-ers and landowners ofBenn’s Grant, St. Luke’sVillage and Riverside.


WINDSOR — A memberof the Isle of Wight Histori-cal Society approached thetown of Windsor to ask formoney to keep the Isle ofWight County Museumopen.

Albert Burckard re-cently asked the WindsorTown Council to contribute$25,000 to the cause.

“It’s your county mu-seum,” said Burckard, whois a member of the Isle ofWight Historical Societyand a staunch supporter ofkeeping the museum open.

That’s close to the figurethat the Isle of Wight Mu-seum Foundation and theHistorical Society eacheach said they may be ableto contribute, Burckardsaid.

So far, the MuseumFoundation and the His-torical Society have eachcommitted $5,000.

The Isle of Wight Boardof Supervisors recentlyeliminated its historic re-sources division, whichstaffs the Museum locatedin the town of Smithfield.Three employees are ex-pected to lose their jobs as

No Windsor responseon museum funding

a result, and without con-tinued funding, the Mu-seum will close July 1.

The town of Smithfieldrecently decided to providesome funding. Isle of WightCounty plans to continuepaying for maintenanceand utilities on the build-ing.

It costs $255,000 a year tooperate the historic re-sources division.

“We’re looking for part-ners,” Burckard said.

Windsor Mayor RitaRichardson said the townneeds to wait and see whateveryone else is going to do.

After all, Windsor onlyhas a 10 cent tax rate, shesaid.

Council member PeggyFlemming said the Black-water Regional Librarysystem had to cut hoursand staff last year due tobudget constraints, so itcan be done.

Richardson said thecouncil would bring up thesubject again once it seeswhat the other entities aredoing.

The town of Windsor ismore than 20 miles south ofthe town of Smithfield,where the Museum is lo-

cated.Burckard said the Mu-

seum not only includesSmithfield history, but alsoincludes those of Windsorand Carrsville. The Mu-seum is considered a keyattraction for tourists com-ing to Isle of Wight andSmithfield.

The Isle of Wight SchoolBoard estimates it will beable to return $750,000 tothe county at the end of thefiscal year.

At the same time, theSchool Board plans to askthe Board of Supervisors toallow it to move $300,000from its instructional bud-

Isle of Wight schoolsreturn money to county

get to transportation to payfor three new school buses.

Because the SchoolBoard is under categoricalspending rules, it must askthe Board of Supervisorspermission before movingmoney between categoriesof funding.

The Board of Supervi-sors will have to approvethat request.

The $750,000 to be re-turned is the result of em-ployee attrition and posi-tions remaining unfilled,said School Executive Di-rector of Finance and Bud-get Christina Berta at ameeting Thursday betweenstaff and the chairs andvice chairs of the SchoolBoard and Supervisors.

Berta said the schools

also saved enough moneythis year to make sometechnology purchases aswell as update the publicaddress system atSmithfield High School.

Although the Davis-Ba-con issue was also on theagenda that afternoon, itwas removed at the requestof Superintendent KatrisePerera due to pending legalissues.

Isle of Wight allegedlyfailed to comply with theDavis-Bacon Act, which re-quires federally fundedprojects valued at morethan $2,000 to pay workersthe prevailing wages andbenefits as determined bythe Department of Labor.

Last year the SchoolBoard spent more than itbudgeted for, resulting in alate year funding request tothe Board of Supervisorsfor $800,000.

It was able to eventuallyreturn $198,000 of thatamount.

NEWPORT NEWS —Virginia Marine PoliceCaptain John Croft andSpecial Agent James“Jimmy” Simpson recentlyreceived the Atlantic StatesMarine FisheriesCommission’s annualaward for Excellence inLaw Enforcement.

This national recogni-tion was given for their un-dercover work that led tothe arrest and convictionon federal charges of five

charter boat captains whoillegally took striped bassfrom federal waters off Vir-ginia Beach.

In 1990, the U.S. Secre-tary of Commerce imposeda moratorium on fishingfor striped bass within fed-eral waters known as theexclusive economic zone(EEZ), the zone where theU.S. and other coastal na-tions have jurisdiction overeconomic and resourcemanagement. The morato-

rium makes it unlawful tofish for or to harveststriped bass in the EEZ.The moratorium alsomakes it unlawful to retainany striped bass that weretaken in or from the EEZ.

All five charter opera-tors pleaded guilty. They re-ceived combinations ofmonetary fines and addi-tional penalties includinglicense suspensions or re-strictions, jail time andother restrictions.

Cindy Emanuel prefers pup-pies.

Dawn Morris is especiallygood with special needs dogs.

Nancy Deming-May likessmall dogs, preferably “Rats andJacks,” she said — as in rat terri-ers and Jack Russell terriers.

And Mary Connell, known asthe “cat lady of Isle of WightCounty,” specializes in felines.

At one time, Connell had 80cats at her house — all availablefor adoption.

Nowadays, “I’m trying to keepit under 20,” she joked, and cred-its her husband for being espe-cially supportive.

Emanuel, Morris, Deming-May and Connell take in “fosters”— sort of like kids, but with furand paws. They are all membersof the Isle of Wight Humane So-ciety and work on the front lineof homeless pets in need of for-ever homes.

The women volunteer theirhomes and their time to take inentire litters of kittens and pup-pies, dogs with serious abnor-malities, some who are from de-funct “puppy mills,” the typicalstray and sometimes a beloveddog or cat whose owner died orcan no longer care for him or her.

In all, there are about 10 Isleof Wight Humane Society mem-bers who are willing to be fostervolunteers to dogs, cats, rabbitsand nearly everything in be-tween.

They began working years agowith the Isle of Wight AnimalShelter, but recently havereached out to more remote, lesswell-equipped or staffed shelters,such as Surry.

Lacking the funding, staff andvolunteers that Isle of Wight nowhas available, the women take incats and dogs from shelters thatare forced, due to lack of funding,to euthanize its population as fre-quently as every two weeks, theysaid.

“Our shelter is doing a greatjob. They don’t need us,” Morris

said.The women bring the animals

into their homes, do their best torehabilitate, train and socializethe cats and dogs and make themready for adoption. Connell andMorris started the adoption pro-gram at the PetSmart and Petcoin Newport News where they aretaken every week. Animals avail-able for adoption are also put onthe Humane Society’s Facebookpage.

And it works. 99 percent of thedogs and cats taken to PetSmartand Petco are adopted, Emanuelsaid.

Morris has been fostering for14 years. She got started after acat she had bottle fed from a tinykitten got out and was hit by a car.She felt so guilty about the cat’sdeath that she wanted to do some-thing positive. That’s when shemet Connell, who gave her a kit-ten.

She was hooked.Today, Morris is known for her

work with special needs dogs.Currently, she’s fostering twoAustralian shepherd mixes —one with a pancreatic deficiency.

She’s had a puppy with cleftpalate, another with such a seri-ous case of mange that its ownergave it up because he was tiredof cleaning up the blood that re-sulted for excessive scratching,Morris said.

Morris treated the mange andthe dog was adopted. So was thepuppy with the cleft palate.

Connell, one of the originalIsle of Wight fosterers, got herstart when Isle of Wight AnimalControl cleaned out a trailer with25 kittens, as well as numerousadult cats.

Being that she’s the “cat ladyof Isle of Wight County” and hadtold the shelter that she was amember of the Humane Society,“they called me,” she said simply.

Emanuel is currently caringfor a litter of 11 hound-mix pup-pies. One is sick and another hasa suspected seizure disorder.Emanuel is unfazed.

“I don’t mind the poop, the di-arrhea,” she said, adding that sheis aided by an older dog that actsas a “puppy chaperone” as wellas a big yard in Surry County.

She also has two “rag doll”cats – a breed that fetches up to$900 a piece, but these two werestrays – reason unknown.

Deming-May has two JackRussell terriers and a rat terriermix of her own. Her friendlycrew makes it easy to socializefoster dogs, she said. To get a new

dog acquainted, Deming-Maysimply tethers him or her to thekitchen table and there it stays asit gets used to the family and itsroutines.

The Humane Society receivesa surprising number of purebred dogs and cats, the womensaid. They also said foster volun-teers are often accused of onlytaking animals that are poten-tially easy to adopt, but thewomen are practical about thatdecision.

We bring them into ourhomes, with our children andgrandchildren, Deming-Maysaid.

“I have grand kids. I’m not go-ing to take in a pit bull I just don’tknow,” she said.

Morris said that for manypeople, homeowners insurancewon’t cover the “bully breeds.”

The Humane Society also of-fers to pay to spay a female dog ifthe owner turns over the entirelitter of puppies.

Staff Photos by Diana McFarlandIsle of Wight Humane Society foster volunteers Dawn Morris, left, and Nancy Deming-May, chatted Saturday with their crewof dogs — Zoey, Asia, Dixie and Smitty.

Last line of defense for homeless pets

Foster volunteer Cindy Emanuel spends a little quality time with a litter of hound-mixpuppies that are available for adoption.

The Isle of Wight HumaneSociety is always looking forvolunteers to foster dogs andcats. Prospective fosterersmust undergo a homeinspection, and the HumaneSociety pays for medicaltreatment, if necessary. Thefoster owner is responsible forproviding food and water.

“It stops that cycle for-ever,” Morris said.

Dogs are more chal-lenging than cats. Mosthave behavioral issueswhen they arrive. Someare timid, some growl,some are profoundly shyand many are not house-trained.

“They almost all needa lot of work,” Morrissaid.

At the same time, “Youmake them behave. Youhave to show them who isin control,” Emanuelsaid.

While in their care, thedogs and cats are spayedand neutered if over fivemonths old.

When it comes time toadopt, the women care-fully screen potential new

owners for a proper fit.And by having had thedog or cat in their home,the fosterers can give po-tential new owners anaccurate description ofthe animal’s personalityand other issues.

“It gives an advantageto the dog and to the per-son,” Morris said.

“We’re that animal’slast line of defense.”

Sometimes a dog orcat is adopted quickly,other times it takes a bitlonger.

Connell told of a fosterdog she once had – aquirky poodle – that tookthree years to find justthe right home. But shedid it.

“There’s a home foreverybody.”

The Smithfield Times-Wed., May 21, 2014 -


Charges against aSmithfield woman for em-bezzling education fundshave been certified to thegrand jury.

Smithfield Police havecharged former presidentof the Isle of Wight Educa-tion Association StephanieBailey with grand larcenyembezzlement after theysay she misspent morethan $40,000 of theassociation’s money.

Bailey waived her pre-liminary hearing in Isle ofWight District Court May

Embezzle case to grand jury14.

The grand jury con-venes in July and it willdecide whether to issue anindictment.

Bailey reportedly gavethe money away to thehomeless and people inneed.

Bailey made the unau-thorized expenditures fromJanuary 2001 until August2013 at a rate of $1,000 to$3,000 each month, accord-ing to Smithfield Police Sgt.Chris Meier.

Meier said the parentassociation, Virginia Edu-cation Association, re-

quested the local member-ship dues from Bailey sev-eral times before finallylaunching their own inves-tigation.

According to Meier, theIsle of Wight chapter hasabout 100 members.

The association is a lo-cal affiliate of the VirginiaEducation Association,which serves as educationprofessionals organizationthat supports public educa-tion, provides professionaldevelopment and advocatesfor fair treatment of educa-tors, according to itswebsite.


Citing unsatisfactoryDNA analysis, Isle of WightDistrict Court JudgeParker Councill droppedall charges againstShymeek Stanfield for theDec. 19, 2012 murder ofTravis Newby.

Newby, 36, was shot deadoutside of his Jersey Parkaprtment.

In January, Stanfield, 25,of the 900 block of 18thStreet in Newport Newswas charged with first de-gree murder, conspiracy tocommit robbery, attemptedrobbery and use of a fire-arm in the commission ofa felony.

Councill struck allcharges after he said theDNA analysis provided bythe prosecution did not suf-ficiently point to Stanfieldas the culprit.

Police recovered amixed DNA sample fromthe inside of a shoe left atthe crime scene.

When tested by the stateforensics lab and runthrough the state’s DNAdatabase, the sample indi-cated Shymeek Stanfield asa potential match, saidSmithfield Police Sgt. ChrisMeier during his testi-mony.

Newby was eliminatedas a contributor to thesample.

Meier said he then ob-tained a DNA sample fromStanfield after picking uphis cigarette butt outsideJuvenile and Domestic Re-lations Court in NewportNews.

The cigarette samplewas crosschecked with theshoe sample, a warrant wasissued and Meier then con-ducted a buccal swab.

According to Meier,Stanfield “could not beeliminated as a contributor.”

But because the DNAsample is mixed, meaningit had more than oneperson’s DNA, the defensemade a motion to strike allcharges.

Councill said he couldnot understand the dataanalysis provided by theprosecution and whether itsufficiently indicated theDNA belonged to Stanfieldand ruled out others.

Councill said that prob-able cause exists and thatthere is no question the per-son who committed thecrime was wearing theshoe, but because of themixed DNA sample, some-one other than Stanfieldcould have been wearingthe shoe.

Councill also heard tes-timony from two ofNewby’s neighbors, Gre-gory and Jennifer Cooper,who recounted the nightNewby was killed.

Gregory said he sawsomeone run past as he ex-ited his own apartment tocheck on the commotion.

He said that the personwas missing a shoe and hadshort dreadlocks, whichStanfield has, but couldn’tidentify much else.

Jennifer said she wastending to Newby when shefound the shoe.

“He had asked me to getoff his legs; he couldn’t feelhis legs, but I wasn’t on topof him,” said Jennifer.

That was when shelooked down, saw the miss-ing shoe, picked it up andimmediately dropped it,she said.

Jennifer also could notidentify Stanfield as theculprit.

“It’s not over,” said As-sistant Commonwealth At-torney Steve Edwards, whois prosecuting the case.

Edwards said he couldreinvigorate charges by go-ing straight to the grandjury for a direct indict-ment.

The case continues to beinvestigated, he said.

Elizabeth Zengel neededmore time.

Graduation had oncemeant the end of playingfield hockey, forgetting itnearly as quickly as shepicked it up.

But Goucher Collegehas given her a chance atanother four years.

“I don’t want to give upthe sport,” said theSmithfield High School se-nior recently after an-nouncing she’ll attend andplay field hockey forGoucher College in Balti-more County, Maryland.

Following a meet-upwith college coaches inFebruary, Zengel is gettingthe chance to compete atthe college level.

It’s an unlikely positionfor Zengel to join Goucherjust two years after pickingup a hockey stick for thefirst time.

“Everybody was so newand it was really fun to tryand learn how to play thisgame that we had neverheard of before,” saidZengel.

Smithfield started itsfirst field hockey team inthe summer of 2012.

The team had a rough goin their first year — theynever won a game andmany were cut short due toa mercy rule.

But Zengel and her fel-low Packers persisted.Zengel alone spent the pastyear practicing four hoursa day.

This past season, the

First at SHS to play college field hockeyPackers improved to threewins this past season andweren’t subjected to the 10-goal mercy rule everygame.

“We played all 60 min-utes; it was great,” laughedZengel, adding that theyonly lost by wide marginsto Tabb and Grafton highschools.

Zengel served as thePackers’ keeper for the lastyear-and-a-half.

She traded runningcross country for playingfield hockey, which she hadoriginally taken up to keepher legs fresh for soccer.

Zengel transitioned tokeeper after the team’skeeper went out for footsurgery.

“Extremely defensiveminded,” Zengel fared well,but had to acclimate to thepressure.

“You’re the team’s lastthe defense. So if the ballgoes by you, it’s done,” saidZengel. “There’s a lot moreadrenaline that goes onwhen you’re back there.”

Soccer helped with herfootwork, but Zengel saidthere’s still a lot of “finerpoints” she needs to per-fect.

Once accustomed tokicking a soccer ball withher toe, she’s had to adaptto kicking a field hockeyball with the side of herfoot to prevent the ball frompopping up.

Zengel started underformer head coach Ray Brown.

“He was a keeper too, sohe was able to show me a lotof the basics. He took care

of my angles in the goaland he helped me with see-ing pretty much every typeof shot I could possiblysee.”

Zengel said Gouchercoaches tracked herprogress throughout theseason and invited her tovisit the college after see-ing her keep at a showcasein February at DisneyWorld in Orlando, Florida.

Zengel recently ac-cepted academic scholar-ships from Goucher andsigned on to play with theteam.

Because it’s a DivisionIII school, Goucher cannotgrant athletic scholarships.Instead, Zengel, who fin-ished fifth in her graduat-ing class, will receive mon-ies related to her academ-ics.

There, she hopes to pur-sue a career in physicaltherapy or a similar field,study and play abroad inArgentina and takeclasses at John HopkinsUniversity too.

Zengel still can’t believe it.

Sometimes, she’ll be sit-ting in the car with her dadafter a game, both rehash-ing just how far she’s come.

Zengel is the daughterof John and Amy Zengel ofCarrollton.

Isle of Wight CountySuperintendent KatrisePerera recently completedher doctoral defense andreceived her Doctor of Edu-cation (Ed.D) degree with aconcentration in Educa-tional Leadership andPolicy Studies from Vir-ginia Polytechnic Instituteand State University.

“Earning a doctoratedegree is a huge accom-plishment for me person-ally, but I also hope that itwill serve as an example ofwhat the students of Isle ofWight County schools canaspire toward,” said Pererain a press release.

“I am a self-proclaimedlife-long learner so I alwayswant to keep raising thebar for our students andstaff to reach higher whereeducation is concerned.There’s always more tolearn and I am proud tocontinue leading ourschool division on the pathto educational excellence.”

Perera, who received apost-master’s in Adminis-tration and Supervisionfrom Virginia Common-

wealth University, alsoholds a Master of Arts inTeaching from MaryBaldwin College. In earn-ing her doctorate, Pereracompleted her dissertationon “Perceptions of Femalesin Virginia Regarding thePersonal and ProfessionalFactors Impacting TheirCareer Paths to the Super-intendency.”

The theme of her disser-tation greatly plays intoher role as division super-intendent. The focus wason the phenomenon of thelarge female representa-tion as teachers in theUnited States in compari-son to the small number offemale superintendents.Her research specificallyexamined the career pathexperiences of female su-perintendents in VirginiaPublic K-12 school divi-sions and understandingthe factors that contributedto their professional deci-sions. Perera’s hope is thatthe study will contribute toa more inclusive style ofsuccession planning in K-12 school divisions.
