James City growth 5th fastest in state Up 39% vs. 17% city and 16% York By Steve Vaughan According to U.S. Census figures released Thursday, James City County was the fifth fastest growing locality in Virginia over the past decade and the second fastest outside Northern Virginia. Despite the recession and the housing slowdown, the county population grew 39% during 2000-10, from 48,102 to 67,009. That trailed Loudoun at 84%, Prince William at 43%, King George at 40% and Stafford at 39.5%. “I think that shows James City County is a very attractive place to be,” said supervisor John McGlennon, noting that it has the highest growth rate in Hampton Roads. “On the other hand, that rate of growth is very difficult to sustain. At a time of continuing fiscal pressures, we find ourselves forced to provide more and more expensive services.” Williamsburg rose from 11,998 to 14,068, a 17% increase. City manager Jack Tuttle didn’t think his growth was held back by the county. “I think really it’s a matter of
available land,” he said. “James City County certainly has more than the city, or York County. And York County has some stricter measures in place to control growth than either James City County or the city.” York grew 16% from 56,297 residents to 65,464. Virginia added nearly a million people over the last 10 years, to 8 million, a 13% increase. Fully 7 in 10 Virginians now live in the “Golden Crescent” running from Northern Virginia through Richmond to Hampton Roads. Most of the growth statewide came among minorities. While the white population grew 7% over the decade, whites make up only 69% of Virginia’s population, compared to 72% ten years ago. Virginia’s African American population grew nearly 12%, but their share of the population is 19%, little changed from 2000. The Hispanic population grew nearly 92% and has virtually tripled in the last 20 years. The state’s Asian population grew by nearly 69%, constituting 5.5% of the population.

Remembering Ronald Reagan This Sunday, Feb. 6, would have been the 100th birthday of President Ronald Reagan. He made three visits to Williamsburg during his presidency, most notably in 1983 for the G-7 Economic Summit held at Colonial Williamsburg. At right is Reagan with First Lady Nancy Reagan during that visit. Reagan’s first visit here was in 1981 for the Bicentennial of the Seige at Yorktown. During his last, in 1985, he visited with Colonial Williamsburg employees at the Capitol before unveiling a tax plan.
Devastating tale of teen bullying Dad warns parents of what to look for By Susan Robertson JAMES CITY — John Halligan of Vermont once had a child tell him he would rather take a punch than let a rumor spread about him. “I can show an adult my black eye and get a response,” the student explained innocently. “But it’s almost impossible for me to show them my bruised heart.” Halligan understood. His 13-year-old son, Ryan, was a victim of emotional bullying. The depression it caused led him to suicide. “As Ryan’s dad I totally underestimated the effects of emotional bullying,” Halligan told a crowd of near-
ly 100 parents Thursday night. He came to Warhill High to differentiate bullying from cyberbullying, to share his experience, and to tell parents what they can do. He spearheaded Vermont’s Bullying Prevention Act and has spoken at 500 schools. His son had been tormented in person and online since fifth grade. Ryan wanted to learn how to defend himself, so he took up what he termed the “Karate Kid Plan” to build selfconfidence. He eventually befriended one bully, but by seventh grade he turned on him and spread a rumor Continued on next page

Search revealed teen’s despair Continued from page 1A that Ryan was gay. Ryan went online, chatting with a girl he liked in hopes that having a girlfriend might thwart the rumor. When he approached her at school, she called him a loser and said it had all been a joke. Ryan hanged himself in a bathroom. Halligan got into the boy’s computer and was bombarded by messages from Ryan’s friends telling him to get off the account as an intruder. Once he explained, they related everything. He found many e-mails, messages and chat logs centered on the gay rumor. Ryan had reconnected with a boy he had gone to school with through third grade, and the boy had morphed into a meaner person. They commiserated about how much they hated the popular kids and began looking at websites about suicide. “Parents have a new social circle to worry about,” Halligan lamented. “It’s bigger! And those kids aren’t coming over to the house.” He found they’d rather text than chat. Two weeks before the end, Ryan said, “Tonight’s the night. I think I’m going to do it.” Halligan said the mean boy’s reply shocked him. “‘It’s about blanking time,’” he quoted, softening
what he’d read. “The signs were there,” he said. “We were just too afraid to look.” A few weeks earlier, Ryan had come to his parents in a good mood, warning them that his academic progress report was going to be bad. Halligan said he needed a pep talk so he told him that they’d come up with a remediation plan. He now realizes what he should have said. He should have asked, “Ryan, are you thinking about suicide? Have you attempted suicide?” He reminded parents that bullying can also be relational, such as a student convincing others not to sit with a particular child at the lunch table. He alerted them to “burn pages” on Facebook. Other kids often know there’s a problem before the parents. His legislation expands the health curriculum to include sections on depression, early signs of suicide risk, and preventative resources. If only he’d had a candid conversation that day with Ryan, “We would have been headed to the Emergency Room instead of the morgue. “If we are going to tell our kids not to be bystanders, then we can’t be bystanders ourselves.” The parents sat mesmerized by his presentation and followed up with a burst of questions.

Harbour Coffee owner John Stein called police for help Friday morning after contractors threatened to turn off his water. Stein owns the coffeehouse’s portion of the New Town building, but another suite is being built out. With no notice, he said in an interview, a contractor showed up Friday, telling him that they were going to turn off the water for less than half an hour. Stein needs water to brew coffee, so he took a page from Lewis’s playbook and parked his car to block access. “My wife and I sat on top of the water meter,” he said. The contractor planned to put the job off to the afternoon, but Stein didn’t back down, calling police. Instead, municipal utility trucks showed up, saying that the owners need to provide 24 hours’ notice. Stein argues that since he closes early the work should be done after-hours.

By Cortney Langley JAMES CITY — The owner of Opus 9 made a symbolic protest by parking his truck in front of a demolition team this week, then made a more substantive statement by filing a lawsuit. Steve Lewis, who owns Opus 9 Steak House in New Town, is suing landlord Developers Realty, claiming breach of contract and interfering with his business. Lewis’s attorney filed the injunctive suit this week in Williamsburg-James City Circuit Court, asking that the crews tearing up the parking lot to accommodate American Family Fitness immediately stop. Opus 9 also seeks monetary damages. The suit contends that Opus 9’s lease includes unfettered access to parking in the rear of the restaurant, and while the developer is allowed to rearrange parking, it cannot “materially and adversely affect” access or visibility. Since construction began, there has been no rear access to Opus 9, including access to the back delivery door. Lewis said this week the landlord has not communicated with him. He contends that plans to expand parking in front of Opus 9, where the gazebo is currently located, should have preceded tearing up the back lot. Surprised that heavy equipment showed up Monday, he parked in their way. “That was my way of protesting,” he said. The American Family Fitness plan doubles the size of the next door storefront, with a 12,400square-foot expansion. “We, as much as anybody would love to have a tenant next to us,” Lewis said. “I have no beef with American Family Fitness, but I don’t believe a fitness center of this size and proportion fits with the scale and feel of Main Street.” Lewis is not alone. Scott Grafton, owner of Iron-Bound Gym, said he is “disappointed” in the decision to locate a huge, corporate gym on Main Street. “When I made the decision to purchase property in New Town and relocate my business from the City of Williamsburg, it was explained to me by New Town Associates they wanted a fitness center in New Town,” he said. “This use fit within the overall mixed-use community they were trying to develop. “I am left to wonder what else can go on Main Street,” he continued. “I don’t mind competition, and I have always expected that another gym could locate elsewhere, so my concern isn’t about the competition. I hope people will try both Ironbound and [American Family Fitness] and join the one that best fits their needs.”

Florida ruling evens the score
Insurance mandate headed to Supremes By Rusty Carter Louis Rossiter is Research Professor of Public Policy at the College of William & Mary. He took questions on Monday’s ruling in Florida against the Affordable Care Act. Why does Florida matter?
In terms of impact, the ruling is just another step along the legal road to the U.S. Supreme Court. In terms of its meaning, the ruling shows both sides that it is possible to convince a court that the law is unconstitutional. We are now up to four court rulings, split two against the government and two for the government.
If the Supreme Court upholds the ruling, what then?
If the Individual Mandate is knocked down, one obvious fix is to adopt the same Individual Mandate that is found in Medicare Part D Drug coverage. Most Medicare beneficiaries know how that works. Another approach is the federal Interstate highway model. The federal government sets rules and provides funding if the rules are met. The states pass legislation to carry out the rules about borrowing and construction of highways. What about providers?
Who’s right?
Serious scholars and health policy experts have argued the pros and cons of the constitutionality of the law. Some credible people say state lawsuits won’t succeed in overturning the Individual Mandate. Others argue that state suits against health reform are well grounded in law and pose serious challenges.
Rossiter
Q &
How is this ruling different?
The Florida judge not only ruled against the federal mandate that all individuals purchase insurance or pay a penalty, he also struck down the entire structure of the Affordable Care Act. What’s the crux?
For policy reasons, not legal ones, the health insurance system will work best if everyone has to participate in the insurance system all the time. Otherwise there will be free riders who only seek insurance or healthcare when they are sick. The judge said that makes sense, but he could not separate the Individual Mandate from the rest of the law. Ironically, it was the government that argued it was vital to the law.
A
The healthcare industry is largely supportive of the prospect of having millions of newly insured individuals buying health insurance coverage, hospital and physician services and prescribed medicines. Segments of the healthcare industry grumble a great deal, and not all members of each industry group are of the same mind. Hospitals and physicians will face reductions in Medicare payments. Health insurers, pharmaceutical and medical device companies will pay new excise taxes.
And business owners?
The National Federation of Independent Business actually joined the multi-state lawsuit challenging the constitutionality. There are provisions that place unprecedented paperwork burdens on small business (repealed by the Senate this week) and the group just found the entire law as a prime example of federal overreach that they needed to fight. Large employers will be less affected because nearly all of their employees already have coverage. What’s next?
Both sides will rework their already well-worn arguments before the appellate courts. Then they will argue them before the Supreme Court.

Attendance creeps from 40-year low By Steve Vaughan WILLIAMSBURG — A year after attendance sank to a 40-year low, it crept up slightly in 2010. Colonial Williamsburg reported Friday that paid attendance rose 4% to 686,000. The Goodwin Building spins that as a “visitor gate count” of 1.7 million, essentially the same as 2009. The gate count calculates total visitation to the open Historic Area, based on the length of stay associated with a particular ticket package. Tickets for evening programs and carriage rides fell to 218,000 com-

pared with 244,000, but art museum attendance rose 1%. The results were hailed as progress. “They show that Colonial Williamsburg’s imaginative programs and compelling experiences are resonating with visitors and guests,” said president Colin Campbell in a press release. Visits to the foundation website rose 5% to 25.6 million. A resurgent stock market helped the endowment, which rose $33 million to $735 million. Annual Fund support mirrored attendance, with a small increase to $14.3 million.
Ripley’s ponders miniature golf By Cortney Langley JAMES CITY — The owners of Ripley’s Believe It Or Not are designing a putt-putt course for Ewell Station, at the corner of Richmond and Olde Towne roads. “We’re considering it,” Ripley’s manager Scott Hart said in response to an inquiry. Nothing has been filed with the county yet, but Ripley’s has a designer working on it. Ripley’s is owned by a franchise, Hart explained, but the course won’t likely have Ripley’s name. Instead, he said the course will be themed “Three Ships” and feature native landscaping. “Since it is in James City County, we thought ‘Three Ships’ would work,” Hart said. “We’re not going to have a giant shrunken head on Richmond Road.” What about the vacant Mini Golf America site on Richmond Road,
next to Wendy’s, which is much closer to the museum? “We did look at it, but I think Ewell Station is a much better location,” he said, because of another factor. “It’s a good place for Mom to drop the kids while she goes and shops at Premium [Outlets],” he said. Hart said he’d like to open the course this year. It will require a special use permit, for which Ripley’s has not yet applied. Hart has met already with Board of Supervisors chair Mary Jones and Powhatan rep Jim Icenhour. Hart said he has already sent a letter to Chisel Run residents but has not yet heard back. Residents in Chisel Run have told the Gazette that they are concerned. Hart said if a course does well, Ripley’s is considering using empty space within Ewell Station’s for a mirror maze or candy factory.

Local schools face $2 million hike
Exclusively at J Fenton Gallery
VRS hikes proposed in Gov. Bob
J. Fenton Gallery Merchants Square 110 S. Henry St
We’re pleased to announce our new Williamsburg office location in McLaws Circle!
McDonnell’s budget will have the greatest impact on public schools. Local divisions are left to pay out about $2 million more a year to support their employee retirements. Outside of state agencies, which will pay 3%, the rate of increase for K12 education is the largest. Rates for localities may go up, but numbers will vary since counties and cities have their own payout pools in the VRS system. If McDonnell’s plan prevails, WJC Schools finance director Scott Burckbuchler said the division would pay $8.2 million to VRS next year, up $2 million from this year. In York, the increase would be $1.4 million, making the school division’s contribution $8.4 million next year, according to chief financial officer Dennis Jarrett. The increase is non-negotiable if McDonnell’s budget makes it through the General Assembly. School divisions, however, will have to decide whether or not to pass on the employee portion of the VRS contribution. The state assumed employee payments decades ago in lieu of raises, but now wants employees to start contributing to their pensions. Last year localities had the option to pass along the expense, but neither local school division did so. This year officials may change their minds. Under the governor’s plan, state employees will be required to pay their entire 5% employee contribution. Cities, counties and school divisions
can choose to pass the employee contribution along and give a 3% raise, or continue paying the entire 5%. For divisions that continue paying the 5%, current employees will be off the hook. But anyone hired after July 1 will be required to pay up and won’t get a salary increase, according to VRS spokesman Jeanne Chenault. Neither school division plans to pass along the employee share. Jarrett said York Schools paid out $7 million this year in VRS contributions, of which about $3.6 million was the employee share. Half of the $6.2 million WJC paid was on behalf of its employees. Taxpayers will not benefit. No savings are expected from shifting the contribution back to the employees because school divisions will take on a new 5% obligation. It comes in the form of a 2% overall increase in VRS rates and the 3% raise. Jarrett explained that a 3% salary boost for all of his VRS-eligible employees would cost $2.2 million. Burckbuchler put his cost for WJC at $2.4 million. Only the 2% hike in VRS rates for K-12 education will benefit the woefully underfunded VRS system. Burckbuchler pointed out that shifting the employee contribution back to the employee and mandating that a 3% raise be given actually puts more of a burden on VRS long-term. That’s because increasing an employee’s salary increases his or her pension. –– Susan Robertson

Jones, vice president for finance. “The governor’s thinking was that the employees would pick up their contribution and that freed-up dollars would be used to pay for salary increases.” Not quite a shell game, Jones said it’s really a redistribution of funds. The college paid nearly $4.7 million into VRS last year. Jones said $2 million of that was the employee contribution.
Unlike localities and school divisions, William & Mary will be required to pass the entire 5% share along to faculty and other employees. It will be offset by a 3% raise on July 1, and a 2% bonus tentatively set for December. Jones said the raise would cost $4.2 million, offset by the $2 million saved in requiring employees to pay their own VRS. The bonus would cost an additional $2.5 million.

City manager Jack Tuttle said
The total VRS contribution for 2011 was $2.34 million. Based on that rate, employees would pick up $1.28 million in the 5% shift. If the county awarded a 3% raise, it would save roughly $400,000 by the scheme, plus another $60,000 with JCSA. But administrator Robert Middaugh has recommended the county offset the entire employee contribution. He told the supervisors in a recent budget retreat that he doesn’t see forcing a 2% cut on employees after years of frozen pay. “I think that’s a horrible thing to tell your employees, and I highly suggest you don’t do it,” he said. Keeping employees “whole,” he said, would cost about $507,000, including JCSA employees and constitutional officers. The supervisors did not weigh in on the plan, asking Middaugh to bring back more information later. The whole situation is highly speculative anyway, since it’s in McDonnell’s hands. As for the wisdom of McDonnell’s proposal, James City finance manager John McDonald said, “Interesting question. VRS would continue to get the same contribution as a percentage until it raises rates, expected next year. The actual dollar amount would go up based on the 3% raise. “VRS will see additional pressure to offer alternatives to its program based on employer and employee distrust of state management and articles like this one,” he said, citing a Washington Post report about a New York bank allegedly defrauding VRS of millions.

raises, that increases the amount the city needs to pay into VRS,” Tuttle explained. “And when we give employees a raise, that costs them more in taxes.” The raise is taxable income for city employees, while the city portion of workers’ share of the VRS contribution is not. That leads to various levels where the average employee would be held harmless and where the city would be liable. The city would come out even if employees paid the 5% VRS payment and got a 4.8% raise. The employees break even if they get 5.3% raise and take over their own contribution.

the city currently spends well over $1 million a year on VRS benefits from an operating budget of about $30 million. Payroll totals $8.7 million, and the city pays a generous 16.5% exceeding $1.4 million. Like other area localities, Williamsburg picks up the employee contribution, which at $436,174 accounts for about a third of the cost. The city chose not to require new employees to pay their own VRS contributions last year to avoid creating two classes of employees. Now officials have rethought the ramifications of the governor’s changes. At City Council’s recent retreat, finance director Phil Serra presented a spreadsheet showing the costs to employees and the city of different options. Adopting the McDonnell proposal requires employees to pick up their entire 5% contribution and compensates them with a 3% raise. It would cost employees a collective $187,555 and save the city $167,534. The trade-offs aren’t one-for-one. “When we increase the city payroll by giving

YORK — The Planning Commission Wednesday will review a special use permit to construct a new building for Casey Toyota on East Rochambeau Drive near Williamsburg Ford. Plans call for the construction of a 38,000-square-foot, two-story building for offices, sales, showroom and 31 service and detailing bays. There would also be 55,000 square feet of outside display area for car sales. The move from the dealership’s current location on Richmond Road near the Williamsburg Pottery will allow the company to expand its sales capabilities. A narrative submitted as part of the special use permit estimated that Casey Toyota could grow sales to $42 million by the end of 2012, up from $28 million in 2010.

James City to copy shoreline project
Y FEBRUAR IS HEART HEALTH MONTH
Gazette file photo
The county hopes to build its own living shoreline at Jamestown Beach, similar to this one installed at the 4-H Center last year.
building an offshore breakwater, placing down 3,000 cubic yards of sand fill and planting 3,500 square feet of beach grass. Carnifax said in an interview Friday that if the Board of
Supervisors accepts the grant next week, the project will begin next month and be complete by June. Grant money will fund about half of the first phase, Carnifax said. The rest will be made up of in-kind labor
and the beach’s maintenance account. The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s Restoration Center has been pushing living shorelines in recent years, contending that traditional bulkheads, revetments and seawalls actually hasten erosion by inhibiting the shore’s ability to protect itself through natural processes. The Jamestown 4-H Center project, which was completed last year with a separate Chesapeake Bay Trust grant, proved locally that natural protection projects don’t have to be any more expensive than hardscape. It has also proven to be an effective outdoor classroom for waterfront property owners who want to learn how to protect their properties naturally. Want to go? The Board of Supervisors will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 8, in Building F of the County Government Complex, off Mounts Bay Road.

By Cortney Langley JAMES CITY — The 4-H living shoreline project has been so successful, the county is emulating it. The county has been awarded a $100,000 grant by the Chesapeake Bay Trust to construct a living shoreline at Jamestown Beach. Last year, 4-H did the same next door, proving that shoreline protection doesn’t require a ton of unnatural rock and rip-rap. Living shorelines emulate natural shorebreaks, relying on native grasses and plants to diffuse wave energy that erodes beaches. “Over the years, this popular shoreline segment has been adversely impacted by wave attack and major storm events that have resulted in a loss of usable beach frontage,” explained Parks & Recreation director John Carnifax in a memorandum. The project will stabilize 400 feet of beach, removing a concrete rubble spur installed by the previous owner,

Fireplace blamed for house fire By Amanda Kerr YORK — A fireplace is to blame for a Friday morning fire that severely damaged a home in Tabb. Firefighters were called just before 11 a.m. to a home on South Shannon Drive off Victory Boulevard after someone spotted flames coming from the home. When firefighters arrived minutes later, they found heavy fire coming from the back of the home. York Fire Capt. Paul Long said the fire quickly spread, making it too dangerous for firefighters to attack from inside the home. It took about an hour for firefighters to bring the fire under control and another hour to completely extinguish the flames and douse hot spots. No one was home at the time of the fire. There were no injuries. The home sustained extensive damage from the fire. Long said investigators determined the fire originated in an area near a fireplace. He noted the family had a fire in the fireplace Thursday night but that they thought the fire was out.
Gunshots fired outside home YORK — Gunshots rang out Thursday night outside a home on Barlow Road in the upper county. Deputies were called just after 10 p.m. to a report of gunshots heard. Several bullets struck the home, which was occupied by several people. York Sheriff’s Sgt. Dennis Ivey Jr. said that no one was injured. A Nissan Altima was seen in the area before and after the shooting. The driver was described as a black man. No other information was available on the vehicle or driver. Help – Anyone with information on this crime should call the Crime Line at 888 562-5887.

Jail, restitution for beating teen
14-year-old hit with skateboard, robbed the marijuana and that they would have to walk to another place to get it. Cooke said as the teen walked ahead of the two men, they attacked him and pushed him to the ground. The teen was hit in the heat with a skateboard and the men took his wallet with $136. Cooke said Lawson held the teen down on the ground and told him that they beat him up to send a message to another person. The teen suffered several injuries, including cuts on his knees and a gash to the head that required staples. Lawson was ordered to pay restitution of $136 to the teen as well as any unpaid medical bills he had as a result of the attack. Latoski’s case is expected to go before a grand jury next month. He is charged with robbery and malicious wounding.
By Amanda Kerr YORK — An attack on a 14-yearold boy who was beaten with a skateboard has landed a 19-year-old man a year in jail. Dillon Lawson of London Company Way pleaded guilty Thursday in Circuit Court to unlawful wounding and grand larceny. As part of a plea agreement, the charges were reduced from malicious wounding and robbery. Substitute Circuit Judge Ray Grubbs sentenced Lawson under a plea that calls for one year of active jail time with another 24 years suspended. Last July, Lawson and co-defendant Sean Latoski met with the 14year-old boy to sell him marijuana. Assistant commonwealth attorney Barbara Cooke said that Lawson and Latoski told the teen they didn’t have

Happy Valentine’s Day How to celebrate the women in your life by choosing the right jewelry When it comes to giving a meaningful gift to the important women in your life, few gifts say more than jewelry. The right piece of jewelry will complement her personality or even remind her of the special moments you’ve shared. Jewelry has always been a popular gift for women, but that’s even truer this year. The number of women who say jewelry is on their wish lists has increased 13 percent from last year, according to the National Retail Federation’s annual holiday survey.
PAINT !
Personalizing jewelry can be a challenge, but with a little thought it’s easy to select something as special as her. For those having trouble getting started, the key is to think of the emotions, memories and moments that define the person you will be buying for:
Pottery for Valentine’s Day Call (757) 565-3500 Olde Towne Square
Paint on Pottery Too
www.paintonpotterytoo.com
Wife or girlfriend: Buying for a wife or girlfriend seems like it should be easy, because you know her better than anyone. But that can also add to the pressure of finding something she likes and that is as unique as your relationship. Do some observing and figure out what colors she likes and whether she prefers silver, gold or a combination of the two. By coyly doing the research rather than asking her, she’ll be impressed when you deliver a gift that matches her individual style. For Mom: Since a mother will love any gift that comes from her child, it doesn’t hurt to ask her subtly if there’s been anything in particular she’s been wanting. You can never go wrong with a set of earrings or a nice bracelet to complement her favorite outfit. For a friend: Think about a special moment you have recently shared with your friend or a big accomplishment in her life, such as a new job or completing a marathon. Find a unique piece of jewelry that relates to that moment and she’s sure to appreciate the gift. High-quality, hand-finished charm bracelets also work well for any special woman in your life, because they offer particularly unique opportunities to personalize. For example, Pandora offers 800 hand-finished charms of varying sizes, shapes and colors so the options when designing a charm bracelet for your loved one are practically limitless. Charm bracelets also make a great gift because you can continue to build on them as the years go by. The affordable luxury nature of charm bracelets allow the gift giver to find momentous and even everyday reasons to celebrate life’s unforgettable moments. When searching for that special piece of jewelry for your loved one, just remember that she’s bound to like whatever you get her if there’s a story behind it. The charm of jewelry is that it reminds the wearer of the person who bought it for her and the special moments they have shared. – ARA

House Majority Leader Rep. Eric Cantor, who earned his law degree at William & Mary in 1988, spoke to students during Charter Day on Friday.
Profs skew W&M survey Instructional faculty inadvertantly took part WILLIAMSBURG — While acknowledging that employees remain worried about pay, the College of William & Mary says than 90% of respondents to a survey say their department is a good place to work. The results are from a report released Thursday at the Board of Visitors meetings. But those results are slightly skewed since “several” instructional faculty took the survery, according Anna Martin, vice president of administration. “When the data from the survey was reviewed,” Martin said. “It became clear that more people identified themselves as professional/professional faculty than the total number employed.” Martin said it became apparent after reading some of the comments that instructional faculty has taken the survery. She explained that the college has two e-mail lists, one for operational and classified staff and one for instructional and professional staff and professional faculty. The survey was correctly, but some instructional staff mis-
THE RESULTS ■ 78% of respondents said W&M was a well-run institution, compared to 61% in 2007. ■ 67% said they believe the College cares about its employees and treats them fairly, up from 55% in 2007. ■ 92% said they believe their workplace is safe compared to 76% in 2007. ■ 83% of employees did say they feel comfortable talking openly with coworkers and their supervisor about their department’s goals and ways to improve what they do, compared to 65% in 2007.
takenly took it. She didn’t know how many. She said that it is also possible that operational or classified employees misidentified themselves and marked that they were professional staff. The scope of the survey included compensation and benefits, training and resources, communications, management and job satisfaction. The Office of Human Resources conducted the comprehensive climate survey of classified, hourly, professional and professional faculty employees was conducted last August.
Employees in Williamsburg and at W&M's Virginia Institute of Marine Science in Gloucester were asked questions about working at the college as well as how they would rate their department and the institution as a whole. A separate survey of instructional faculty every three years by the Faculty Assembly. That report was released in fall 2009. W&M last conducted an employee survey in 2007. In terms of pay, only 20% of respondents said they believe increases in pay have matched the increases in their responsibilities. Only 12% said they believed their pay is comparable with other employees with similar jobs at other universities. These results represent a significant change from 2007. 57% of respondents did say they understood how their pay is determined compared to 51% in 2007. 69% of eligible employees (1,108 of 1,596) participated in the survey and 847 completed it. The complete survey is available on the College’s website and paper copies are available at the Office of Human Resources located in the Bell Building at 109 Cary St. in Williamsburg.
Colleges offer enrollment boost
At W&M, 150 more over four years By Susan Robertson WILLIAMSBURG — A bill to reduce the number of out-of-state-students Virginia universities admit promised to wreak havoc on William & Mary’s budget. Fortunately for the college, it’s cast aside for this year. The legislation would have pushed the percentage of in-state students from 65% to 75% to correspond with Gov. Bob McDonnell’s goal of 100,000 more degrees over the next 15 years. The out-of-state percentage would have been racheted back to 25%, decreasing revenue for the college since each out-of-state student pays more than $21,000 per year. “The bill... was gently laid on the table and should not see the light of day this session,” said Fran Bradford, associate vice president for government relations, at the Board of Visitors meeting Thursday. President Taylor Reveley said he feels politicians backed away from the bill because
Virginia colleges volunteered to increase the number of in-state students they admit. The University of Virginia will admit 1,000 more in-state students over the next four years, and William & Mary will add 150. Reveley took the opportunity, since the Board of Visitors, Foundation Board and Alumni Board were holding a joint meeting, to share tenants of a plan to build a sustainable financial foundation for the college. There are four pillars. ■ Retention of state support. ■ Increased revenue (tuition, etc.) ■ Expanded philanthropy. ■ Improved productivity. “I think that the assumption that higher education can continue simply by raising tuition at a rate higher than societal inflation is mistaken,” he said. Sam Jones, vice president of finance, said Friday that no additional cuts to higher education are proposed in
McDonnell’s budget. But a $10 million higher ed reduction approved by the General Assembly in 2010 still hasn’t been allocated. He also noted that McDonnell seems to be cracking down on tuition hikes. As a reaction to a 24% tuition increase at VCU this year, McDonnell plans to restrict VCU’s ability to spend that tuition revenue.

Goodson may get crack at 93rd By Steve Vaughan The “ferrymander” coined by George Grayson will likely continue. That’s the biggest surprise out of district-by-district U.S. Census figures released Thursday, by which the General Assembly will redraw all 140 House and Senate districts this spring. Preliminary estimates months ago by the Virginia Public Access Project predicted Del. Bill Barlow’s 64th District had 12,000 more people than the ideal 80,010 population of a House district. That might have restored him to a district totally on the south side of the James, ending the gerrymander Republicans drew 10 years ago to get rid of Del. Grayson. Official Census figures, however, show Barlow’s district has only 3,930 too many people, within the 5% variance allowed. That makes it unlikely the 64th will surrender voters in Williamsburg and James City. In general, districts in Hampton Roads will be pulled west and north to pick up population. That’s because most of the state’s 9.7% population growth since 2000 has been in Northern Virginia. That bodes poorly for freshman Del. Robin Abbott (D-93rd). Her district is about 8.5% below the target and is bordered by three others in Newport News and Hampton that need to pick up population. They will
Henrietta (Henny) Perry Turner, 85, of Williamsburg, lost her courageous fight with cancer on Thursday, February 3, 2011. Henny and her late husband, Ervin, enjoyed many years touring the countryside in their RV. They were active members of the National Campers and Hikers Association (NCHA) and were longtime members of the Bizzy Beavers chapter. In addition to her camping hobby, Henny loved flowers. Mrs. Turner founded one of the first kindergartens in the community in the sixties. She also gave back to the community through her many years of volunteer service with the Senior Center, now the Historic Triangle Building. Henny is survived by her three children: Perry Turner and wife, Joyce Turner, Clarence Turner, and B. Page Turner Fulks and husband, Carroll Fulks; two grandchildren: Monica and Robert Fulks; one great-grandchild, Nathaniel Fulks; and a sister, Katherine Spencer, of NY. She is preceded in death by her husband, James Ervin Turner. The family will receive friends on Friday, February 4, from 6:00-8:00 PM at Nelsen Funeral Home, 3785 Strawberry Plains Rd, Williamsburg, VA. A service will be held on Saturday, Feb. 5, at 11:00 AM in the funeral home chapel. Interment will follow at Williamsburg Memorial Park.

By Steve Vaughan The General Assembly recently acted on several bills of local interest. Michele DeWitt, Williamsburg’s economic development manager, went to Richmond last week to testify on two identical bills. Both create tourism zones for localities to share their portion of the state sales tax with attractions for tourism promotion. The proposal is part of Gov. Bob McDonnell’s economic development plan. The Senate version, SB 1193, is being carried by Sen. Tommy Norment (R-3rd). Both bills passed hurdles last week, but not without difficulty in the Senate. Norment’s bill cleared the Senate Finance Committee 86. One senator later asked that the vote be reconsidered, so the bill was held in committee until the next meeting. The House bill was unanimously endorsed by a subcommittee of House Finance. Norment’s aide said that several technical amendments address senators’ concerns and it should pass with no problem. Among other bills: SB 1344 — Another Norment measure makes it clear that two members of the same elected governing body cannot hold seats on the Williamsburg Area Destination Marketing Committee at the same time. It’s aimed at city councilman Doug Pons, who currently holds the Williamsburg Hotel-Motel Association’s seat on that board while Mayor CHES Party Clyde LUN from Haulman Platters $ 99 holds the for city seat. y il a Ser ved D 3 ANY The bill – 10:30 OCCASION passed the Senate 380. 118 Second Street

likely swallow the Newport News portion of the 93rd, where she lives. A new 93rd will be made up of the James City portion of the current district and York County precincts taken from Del. Brenda Pogge’s 96th. James City County supervisor Bruce Goodson is said to be interested in running in the 93rd. Republicans will control redistricting in the House and, if Goodson is serious, they could draw him a friendly district. Abbott has said she would consider moving to retain her redrawn district. Sen. Tommy Norment (R-3rd) finds himself with 11,697 too many people, a 5.8% variance. He also borders two Democratic districts: the 1st represented by Sen. John Miller of Newport News, and the 6th represented by Sen. Ralph Northram of Norfolk. Each is more than 10% below the target. The most likely scenario is that Northram will pick up population from two Republican districts on the Northern Neck, while Miller will take some from Norment. For Democrats, who control redistricting in the Senate, two heavily Democratic Williamsburg precincts present the best opportunity to shore up Miller. The General Assembly will draw the new districts at an April special session.

SB 1189 — The Senate unanimously approved this Norment bill, implementing a charter change for the city. An identical bill sponsored by Del. Bill Barlow (D-64th) has reached the House floor and advanced without opposition. The bills merely change the city’s charter to reflect a requirement passed by the 2010 General Assembly that vacancies on City Council be filled by special election. SB 1190 — This Norment bill has generated some controversy, and is awaiting action in the Senate Agriculture, Conservation & Natural Resources Committee. It will be amended there, according to the aide, to clarify the definition of aquaculture as part of agriculture and to remove any references to the size or scope of the aquaculture operation. The York Board of Supervisors criticized Norment for the bill, saying it was put in at the behest of Realtor Greg Garrett, who in December withdrew his application to operate an oyster harvesting operation from his home. York’s Planning Commission had recommended denial. Norment’s bill would eliminate county authority to restrict the use based on the state’s Right to Farm doctrine. Norment’s aide said the Department of Agriculture and the Virginia Marine Resource Commission have signed off on the new language. York supervisors have not. “No, I don’t believe so,” the aide said Tuesday. Six bills that would have changed the state’s post Labor Day school opening law were killed unceremoniously in a subcommittee of the House Education Committee. The post Labor Day opening law is supported by the state’s entire tourism community, including the Greater Williamsburg Chamber & Tourism Alliance. Bills come up annually to change it and get bottled up in subcommittee.

FINAL WINTER
Service is hardly foreign I am a longtime resident, and just over a year ago I began taking my two autos for service to Colonial Foreign Car Service on Mooretown Road. A good friend had taken his Miata to Ron King and his staff for over 10 years and was extremely pleased with the courteous, professional staff and outstanding service. My friend recommended that I also take my 2001 Miata and my 1998 Jeep Wrangler there. During the past 15 months, I have received nothing but professional, courteous, and outstanding service each time I have visited. Just before Christmas, during my early morning appointment, Dusty greeted me with a warm smile and offered up hot coffee. She is extremely courteous and friendly and helped me work around my schedule to LETTERS get both of my cars in for service, back to back, the same morning. On a number of occasions, Merwan, one of the technicians/mechanics, answered all of my questions: “How does my car look and drive today?” “Everything okay?” “Anything else I need to know?” “About how much more time will I get out of my tires?” He has always been patient, warm and professional and answered my questions honestly. Kevin King, the assistant manager, has also always been very helpful and professional. During my December appointment, Kevin was of great assistance when he took the additional time out of his busy schedule and researched comparative pricing on some tires for my car. Ron King, the manager of Colonial Foreign Car, has been a trustworthy businessman. I appreciate being able to work with such an honest, personable, professional, and hard-working group of great folks. This letter also includes the behind-the-scenes crew I have not met, but I’m certain have worked on my cars in one way or another. Thanks very much to them too. Damon E. Gates Williamsburg

Successful Brunswick stew sale Jan. 22 was one of the coldest days of 2011, but it was perfect weather for the 27th annual Brunswick stew sale sponsored by the Williamsburg Host Lions Club. By noon that day we had sold 725 quarts and could have sold more. The turnout was so tremendous that we regretfully had to turn some away because we had sold out. The club would like to thank the businesses that helped make this a successful project. I also want to thank our membership for their support and hard work. Whether you were the stewmaster, a cast iron pot cleaner, a chicken picker, a stew stirrer, a cook to provide meals to the team, or sold tickets, your support did not go unnoticed. Thanks for a job well done. The project netted over $3,000, which will be used to support Lions programs that focus on sight, hearing, diabetes, youth, community and environmental programs.

Q&A about Kidsburg JAMES CITY
Planning for a new Kidsburg, the community
built playground at James City County’s Mid County Park, will soon be under way, along with planning for the rest of the park. Aged equipment, safety and parking are the critical issues. We ask our citizens to be informed, ask questions, and attend the meetings to help set the course for park improvements and for a new Kidsburg. Why is the county doing a master plan for an existing park?
Mid County Park is one of the county’s most visited parks, hosting 300,000 annually. The park opened in 1985, followed by Kidsburg in 1994. Both need repair. County zoning ordinances require a revised master plan before any significant changes or improvements can begin. During this planning process, we want to hear from you to ensure that we provide facilities and make improvements that citizens want. Will Kidsburg be replaced with a new playground?
Yes. Kidsburg is almost 17 years old, and the playground equipment is made of pressure-treated lumber that requires substantial repair. The new Kidsburg will be ESSAY constructed of improved material and will comply with new ADA requirements. When funding becomes available, staff will solicit input from the public on the design. What else is being considered?
A new building with restrooms, a small meeting and multi-use area, vending machines, storage and a small office. Additional picnic shelters and parking are planned, as well as a water “spray ground,” which is a safe water play area that operates with a filtering system to retain water. It’s similar to an outdoor pool. What in the preliminary plan is to be removed ?
In addition to replacing the existing Kidsburg, the Parks & Recreation Advisory Commission is suggesting that both baseball fields be removed for several reasons: insufficient parking during baseball season, claims resulting from cars being
struck by baseballs, and concern for citizen safety on the multi-use trail. Their removal would offer park users more space to walk dogs, fly kites or enjoy football. Is there a trade-off?
With the construction of new schools in the past few years with accompanying soccer and baseball fields, there is a sufficient number of fields to meet current and near-future demand. To compensate for the removal of the lighted fields at Mid County, lights will be installed on the baseball fields at Warhill High and Jamestown High. The sand volleyball courts would also be relocated to the active area of the park, closer to the basketball and tennis courts. How will the park improvements be funded?
Funding has not been allocated, but it will be considered during the county’s upcoming budget process. With or without funding, the master plan is required to establish the future direction of the park. How can citizens get involved? ■ Attend one of two
Parks & Rec Advisory Commission community meetings at the James City-Williamsburg Community Center: Wednesday, Feb. 16, 6:30 p.m.; Tuesday, Feb. 22, 12:30 p.m. Free childcare is available. Call 2595415. ■ Call the Hotline at 259-4939 to share your comments or ask questions. ■ Visit the Listening Board at the James CityWilliamsburg Community Center Feb. 16-March 1.

By Raymond E. Owens III WILLIAMSBURG
There is one risk getting a lot of press, and that’s on the commercial real estate side. We’re seeing vacancy rates in offices, retail, industrial, warehousing, and even multifamily in selected areas. We’ve been seeing those vacancy rates rise. So is there really a risk? Things still look pretty dark in that sector. But I’m going to argue that as we go into 2011, the risks are looking more and EXCERPT more contained. The net absorption of vacant office space varies with employment. We have all these office buildings out there, and we know at any point in time some proportion of that office space is vacant. Think of that as a pool nationwide of vacant space. When times are bad, vacant space rises. When times are good, we tend to pull down the vacant space. So are we pulling it down or are we building on it? It pretty much tracks employment growth. That’s not
a big surprise because office buildings after all are just warehouses of people. What’s happening of late is that we have seen a rebound similar to small employment growth. The drawing down of this pool of vacant space that had been building up during the recession has reached back up, and we’re starting to chip away at that a little bit. Rising vacancy rates may be at a peak now, or near a peak, and that it is not a downward risk.
We have seen a dramatic rise in industrial vacancy during the recession. But it’s starting to peak and starting to flatten a little bit. When I looked at the Norfolk area, the story isn’t quite as clear. I’m still seeing some upward movement in vacancy
rates. There’s been a recent downward blip, still some weakness in rents, but the market moved here a little more slowly than it did nationwide. So the turning point that we’re seeing nationally is a prospect for the local area as well. We’re seeing a rise in office vacancy rates, but maybe we are around the peak. Rents show the same weakening, but to a lesser degree. Raymond E. Owens III is a research adviser and senior economist with the Richmond Federal Reserve Bank. This section on commercial real estate is excerpted from longer remarks Wednesday to the Williamsburg Kiwanis Club on the economic rebound.
Environmental concerns I am deeply concerned with regard to the lack of coverage of environmental issues in the media. While they occasionally cover major environmental issues, the issues quickly fade and are replaced by stories about the personal lives of public celebrities, often presenting far more than most of us wanted to know. Of course, the situation in Egypt and the world economy LETTERS are driving the news now. Nevertheless, there are other things going on in the world that directly or indirectly affect our lives and which will affect our lives and the lives of our children in the future. I believe the state of the environment is perhaps the most important of these because it impacts our lives in so many ways. We depend upon the environment to provide so many services to us, including clean air and water, healthy oceans, fertile soils, food, medicines, biodiversity, natural beauty, and many other benefits. Unfortunately, there are many threats to the environment, such as man-induced climate change, deforestation, ocean acidification, the extinction of species, and a general loss of biodiversity. These threaten the quality of life for us and the animals that share the earth with
us. Therefore, I believe it is essential that the media do a better job of educating the public on the importance of a healthy environment to a healthy and fulfilled life on the Earth. The planet’s other life forms need us to better understand our relationship to the natural world and the importance of our being good stewards for their sake as well as ours. Jerry L.

32 beer cans, nine beer bottles, five cold drink cups, three plastic soda bottles, one soda can, one oil bottle, and nine pieces of paper trash. Altogether, I collected 41 alcohol containers and 19 nonalcohol items. This was a large increase in litter compared to what I picked up in December. That may partially be because there was still snow on the ground on Dec. 31, and it may have covered up some of the trash when I was out cleaning up the highway. I collected 1.1 inches of rain in my rain gauge during the month of January. Ray Basley Lanexa

One of my friends gave me an excellent mnemonic in the form of the word “think.” T - Are your words thoughtful? H - Are they helpful? I - Are they important? N - Are they necessary?

OPINION I 31A
The Virginia Gazette
City pulls a fast one
Mr. Conservative WILLIAMSBURG
House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor (R-Va.) was in town Friday to keynote the Charter Day exercises at the College of William & Mary. His selection for this distinction was partly due to his meteoric rise in American politics. After just one term in the House of Representatives, he became Deputy Minority Whip in 2003, and by 2008 his standing in the Republican Party was such that he was rumored to be on the short-list of Sen. John McCain’s vice presidential choices. Cantor is a staunch conservative, a consummate fundraiser for the Republican Party, and a skilled negotiator. All this made him a prime candidate for the post of Majority Leader that he currently holds. I asked Cantor what made him such a staunch conservative. “Listening to my father telling how his mother’s family came to America early in the last century, escaping persecution in Eastern Europe, and how her entrepreneurialism and hard work made her family prosper sums up what the Republican Party is all about. By giving equal opportunity to everyone, not necessarily equal outcome. But as long as everybody has a chance, that is what matters.”
Before turning full-time to politics, Cantor worked for a decade in the family real estate business doing legal work. He put his juris doctor degree that he earned from William & Mary Law School to good use. “My training at W&M Law School has been a tremendous source of strength to me. It gave me a perspective, taught me how think critically, and hopefully it will provide me with the ability to carry out the tremendous honor and responsibility I have in Congress,” he said. Cantor also holds a master’s of science degree from Columbia University. This expertise, according to Politico, enabled him to formulate the so-called Cantor Rule. He asks lawmakers, “Are my efforts addressing job creation and the economy? As Majority Leader, he has the opportunity to be not

just a “personal stumbling block for the enaction of President Obama’s legislative agenda,” but a coordinator, “working with committee leaders to develop strategy on legislative priorities.” His deputy chief of staff, John Murray, was quoted saying: “Eric has always placed a high value on policy communications. It drives our top-line strategy because we are not only talking to each other, we are also speaking to Americans around their kitchen tables.”
Cantor’s demeanor reveals a lot about him. He is soft-spoken, non-threatening, but hardnosed. His philosophy and politics are anchored in the belief that “we can be leaner and smarter and have more efficient government... We have to find waste and eliminate excessive regulations.” In the bestselling book “Young Guns: A New Generation of Conservative Leaders,” written by Cantor and co-authored by Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy, the three “Young Guns” espouse ideas they deeply believe in. They are economic freedom, limited government, the sanctity of life, and putting family first. Principles, they believe, that made America great. According to the Simon & Schuster website, “This groundbreaking book is a call to action that sets forth a plan for growth, opportunity, and commitment that will propel this country to prosperity once again.” Some observers consider Cantor presidential timber. They see him as a leader who has the capacity to combine adherence to ideals and principles with a “common-sense agenda for the common good,” and make it work. I asked about has aspirations for the presidency. Smiling, he replied: “No, I am not thinking about it, and I am not running.” But it did not sound Shermanesque.

I applaud the city’s Economic Development Authority’s gumption for researching the merits of an Arts District. Any tool capable of stimulating the Williamsburg economy should be examined. I lived in the proposed Arts District for 14 years. My family of five moved last June, and I now rent my house to students. In early January the meeting to provide residents the opportunity to learn about the Arts District was canceled. Neighborhood folks then attended the City Council meeting in hopes of having the ordinance vote tabled so we could learn more about the Arts District’s effect on the people who currently live, work and rent property in the district. We succeeded, and the vote was tabled. The city hadn’t contacted most property owners during two years of planning, but amazingly once this vote was tabled it took about two weeks for each of us to receive a personal invitation to discuss the Arts District with the EDA. In basic theory, we are not opposed to an Arts District. We were told the private sector (us) would ultimately determine the success of this plan, yet until we forced the postponement of the vote, LETTERS no one bothered to ask our opinion. Shouldn’t the residents of the district be involved to help the project succeed? The EDA has an idea, but the people whom it most affects seem left in the dark. Then officials appear insulted because we are suspicious of long-term goals of a plan that ends next month. Think how insulted we were. Mike Beacham Lafayette Street Williamsburg Define ‘significant’ I submit that if there was any serious intent for the Arts District to succeed, one of the most important groups of individuals in this whole process would have been included from the beginning: the “insignificant owners” as well as the “significant” ones. Michele Dewitt, the city’s economic development manager, said more than once over the last month that if the market doesn’t want
Overcrowded schools We’ve heard much about the overcrowding issue in our middle schools and the potential opportunities for correction. Investment in trailers is a last resort because it is money placed in a short-term fix, so has anyone looked at the cause for the number variation to the planned figures? We can assume we know the number of students coming up from the fifth to sixth grades, but we have a limited idea of how many are moving into the community. Because of this, is there the potential of using available space in the elementary/high schools on a temporary basis until the School Board decides what avenue will be best for the students and community as a whole? Are there restrictions or limitations that would prevent us from doing this? Bill Jenner James City it, or if the owners don’t rent to artists, it doesn’t happen. Does anyone see a disconnect? The owners get no incentive for participating and they are not noticed by the city until forced to. And City Council sees the prudence in tabling the vote on the ordinance so the owners can be included. Is this a behind-the-scenes move to change the makeup of the community? Is the success or failure of the Arts District relevant only inasmuch as it contributes to that goal? If the city is really interested in seeing this idea flourish, council should consider forgoing any idea of voting on the ordinance until it has actually taken the time and expended real effort to reach out to the people who could actually make the Arts District a reality. Better yet, take the zero vacancy residential RS-3 out of the plan. Then DeWitt could show where action had been taken to connect with the 55 impacted owners, demonstrate some upside, and perhaps gain support that is sorely lacking for obvious reasons.

He can show the house By Kathleen S. Kilpatrick and G. Robert Lee RICHMOND
For anyone with an
interest in Virginia’s history and natural resources, the recent turn of events centering on Carter’s Grove, one of Virginia’s pre-eminent historic gems, is certainly regrettable. Virginia’s Department of Historic Resources and the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, which co-hold a preservation and open-space easement on the mansion and 400-acre property, hope that the impasse between Colonial ESSAY Williamsburg and Halsey Minor will be resolved with dispatch so that a clear path forward for the ongoing stewardship of this fabled property can proceed. It is, however, the matter of our joint easement, which guides the stewardship of Carter’s Grove and which transfers with the deed in perpetuity, that prompts this essay. We wish to set the record straight regarding the easement’s provisions pertaining to public access.
On this point we were more than surprised to read Mr. Minor’s claim in the Gazette that “the deed prevents the public from touring the site as a historical attraction, thus depriving Americans in perpetuity of their rights to visit.” In point of fact, the easement was negotiated and executed between Colonial Williamsburg, the Virginia Outdoors Foundation and the Department of Historic Resources. The easement
expressly provides for public access. While the easement certainly protects the privacy needs of an owner who may wish to use the mansion and property solely as a private residence, it would also allow an owner to convert the mansion to a house museum, if that were so desired. If the property remains a private residence, the easement is designed to ensure that an owner not be able to exclude the public entirely. Thus, at least one day per year limited public access must be granted to the mansion by an owner. However, the easement also makes quite clear that beyond meeting this minimum requirement, the owner controls the property’s access by the public. For instance, the owner may at his or her discretion open the property for charitable and/or educational purposes, and for the interpretation of historical and/or natural or archaeological sites, provided such access is conducted in a
manner that will not injure the significant historic and natural resources inherent in the property.
In short, Halsey Minor’s assertion that the deed “prevents” public access to Carter’s Grove is simply off the mark. Moreover, the public’s interest in Carter’s Grove was well represented and served by Colonial Williamsburg’s keen desire and proactive steps to secure an easement on the property prior to its sale. The execution of that easement bequeaths to future generations of Americans a Carter’s Grove that will be conserved and preserved and neither subdivided nor overly commercialized to the physical detriment of the mansion and property. Kathleen S. Kilpatrick is director of the Virginia Department of Historic Resources. G. Robert Lee is executive director, Virginia Outdoors Foundation.

Look of a champion
Friends, players say Tomlin has perfect coaching pedigree By John Harvey WILLIAMSBURG — Some coaches preach about respect to their players. Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin commands it. The philosophy has served Tomlin well as the former William & Mary standout makes his second Super Bowl appearance in four years. On Sunday his Pittsburgh Steelers meet the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV in Cowboys Stadium. Four years ago Steelers owner Dan Rooney raised some eyebrows when he hired a relatively unknown defensive coordinator from the Minnesota Vikings. Tomlin was ready for the challenge. In the interview, he had mapped out every practice for the entire year, including a trip to the Super Bowl. Connor Hughes, a former standout at Lafayette, was invited to Tomlin’s first training camp in Pittsburgh and has fond memories of the experience.
“Coach Tomlin is a great coach because he commands respect from his players while still seeming approachable,” Hughes said in an interview Friday. “He doesn’t seem like a guy that you should feel overly intimidated around, like some coaches can be. Instead it seems like he’s a guy that makes mistakes himself and if you mess up, you got to press on and get past it.” Hughes recalled one practice in 2007 for which Tomlin was late arriving to the morning team meeting. “He walked in the door, apologized for being late,” Hughes recalled. “I make mistakes like anyone else, let’s move on from it and get things done.” Tomlin is a leader off the field too. Matt Brandon, who was a fraternity brother with Tomlin and Darren Sharper in Kappa Alpha Psi, said Tomlin expected great things from himself and the people he was around. See Tomlin, page 3B
By John Harvey YORK — It’s been three years since Bruton High’s girls basketball team celebrated a Bay Rivers District championship. With a week left, Wayne Burnette’s team is still in the hunt for the district crown following Thursday’s 53-37 victory over visiting Warhill. Sharmaine Baker scored 15 points and Amber Warner chipped in 14 more as Bruton (12-4 overall, 53 12-4 district), remains BRUTON WARHILL 37 a game behind Grafton (13-3) in the final standings. The Panthers will play at York (12-6, 12-4) on Tuesday and will close out the regular season at home against Tabb (12-7, 10-6). The Clippers wrap up their regular season with home tilts against Lafayette (8-9, 7-9) and York. Burnette’s team needs to win out and have the Clippers to lose both games to earn the title outright. Warhill (5-13. 4-12) smelled upset early on as Melanie Heath drained back-to-back three-pointers to give the Lions a 6-4 lead with 5:05 left in the first quarter. Baker reeled off five straight points and Warner drained in a pull-up jumper to stretch the lead to 11-6 after one quarter of play. Warner and Baker combined for six straight points to open the second quarter as Bruton built a commanding 17-6 lead a minute into the second quarter. Warhill slowly chipped away at the lead. Brittany Speed sank two free throws and Heath added a stickback to start the rally. Alexis Petrin added four straight points as Warhill trimmed the lead to 18-14 with 1:24 left in the half. Warner answered with a stickback and Alexis Calloway buried a short jumper in the next 30 seconds to give See Baker, page 4B

Jamestown’s Hall collects 100th career win By John Harvey JAMES CITY — Last year, Rory Dillon became the first wrestler in Jamestown High history to win a Region I title. Last week, Sid Hall cemented his status in Eagles’ lore as the first grappler in school history to compile 100 career wins. The 152-pound junior accomplished the feat during the Titan Duals held at Cosby High School. “Reaching 100 wins was a great accomplishment in my wrestling career,” said Hall in an interview this week. “It’s definitely at the top of the list, with placing at states a close second.” From the moment he joined the Eagles wrestling team, coach Kyle Cowles said Hall had that “it factor” about him. “I always knew that once Sid came to Jamestown that he was very special and talented and would do great things,” Cowles said. “That was one of See Hall, page 5B

2011 class focused on skill positions By John Harvey WILLIAMSBURG — Jimmye
Laycock had plenty to smile about last fall after leading William & Mary to its fourth conference crown. But following a second-round loss to Georgia Southern in the NCAA playoffs, Laycock went to work on the recruiting trail to bring in players to help the Tribe compete for a National championship. The veteran coach announced Wednesday the signing of 15 players to National Letters of Intent. After focusing on linemen last season, Coach Laycock’s recruiting class featured a strong core group of skill position players. “This is a very versatile class,” said Laycock in a prepared statement. “We addressed a broad range of need areas for the programs. I’m very pleased with the outstanding work the staff did to put this class together, and I expect it has the potential to make significant impact in the years to come.” Headlining this year’s class is halfback Keith McBride, a transfer from the Naval Academy. The 6-foot, 210-pound running back redshirted last year and will have four years of eligibility at W&M. In high school, McBride won two state football championships, was a three-star recruit by Rivals.com and he was the Tennessee state champion in the 200 meters in 2009. Here’s a breakdown of the rest of the recruiting class: Mikal Abdul-Saboor — A dual-threat quarterback from Georgia, Abdul-Saboor was an allregion selection as a senior. The 5-foot-10 signal caller rushed for 1,052 yards and 16 touchdowns and passed for 2,100 yards and 19 scores as a senior. Christian Brumbaugh — A pure pocketpasser who finished his career as the Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League’s alltime leading passer with 7,164 yards and 72 touchdowns.

The 6foot-3, 271-pound lineman was a two-star prospect by Rivals.com. Nick Easter — Three-year starter at offensive lineman at Colonial Forge High in Stafford. The 6foot-3, 286-pound lineman earned all-district and all-region honors as a senior. Zack Fetters — A remarkable two-way standout at Gaithersburg High in Maryland. He combined for more than 2,600 yards of total offense and accounted for 41 touchdowns as a senior. He also registered 10 interceptions as a safety. Braxton Hicks — A two-time, all-conference performer at defensive end at defensive end in Charlotte. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Hicks recorded 19 tackles for a loss and had 10 sacks as a senior.

Tribe offense is efficient against Madison By John Harvey HARRISONBURG — The great equalizer in college basketball is the three-point shot. Julian Boatner and Quinn McDowell displayed that fact Wednesday night, leading William & Mary’s basketball team to a thrilling 73-67 victory over James Madison at the Convocation Center. Boatner was a perfect 5-for-5 from three-point land for the Tribe and finished with 15 points. McDowell turned in another sterling effort for W&M (7-16 overall, 3-9 conference), with 223 points, eight rebounds and two assists to lead Coach Tony Shaver’s team to its first conference road victory of the season. “I thought it was a great display of mental toughness,” said Shaver during Monday’s postgame press conference. “Every time they made a run at us, we’d answer.

Shaver said the fast start was important. “It helped,” he said. “We’ve done that a lot. We’ve played well early a lot of times, but we have not finished games.” McDowell agreed. “It’s real easy to get down, when you’re not getting the results that you want,” he said. “It started there, and the guys in the locker room.

There was no real thought about it. We all expected achievement of one another. Mike was a leader, for sure, and he excelled at being a brother who could be trusted and relied upon to get business taken care of.” Brandon recalled how Tomlin and another fraternity brother and W&M teammate, Terry Hammons, pushed one another on and off the field. “Hearing the stories about practice competition always – always – gave way to admiration and support off the field,” Brandon said. “Both have succeeded wildly professionally.” Hammons, who battled Tomlin for the job as No.1 receiver at

Brandon says that Tomlin hasn’t changed much since he left W&M. “He is the same guy, wanting to compete with all his heart on the field,” he said. “Practicing leadership and brotherhood/community support off the field.

Humpty Hitchens followed with another shot from behind the arc as the Dukes closed the gap to 41-36 with 14:05 left in the half. A minute later, W&M extended its lead to double-digits with a McDowell three-pointer and a dunk from Kyle Gaillard.

Lafayette edges Packers By John Harvey JAMES CITY — Lafayette’s boys basketball team forged a four-way tie for second place in the Bay Rivers District standings Wednesday night with a 57-50 road victory over Smithfield in overtime. The Rams led by 13 at halftime, before the Packers rallied in the second half to force an extra session. In overtime, Lafayette (9-8 overall, 9-6 district) outscored Smithfield (4-12, 411) to earn the win. John Fitchett led three players in double figures with 16 points. Dwayne Johnson tallied 12 points and point guard Mike Brown added 11 more in the victory. Bruton — Marcus Carter emerged as a rising superstar Wednesday night following a 55-44 home victory over Poquoson. Playing their second time in three games, Carter scored a team-high 13 points and played exceptional man-to-man defense as the Panthers moved into a second-place tie in the district standings. Chauncey Burgazli and Rodney Swanson added seven points apiece, while Kai Brown came off the bench to net six for Bruton (11-6, 9-6). Walsingham — The Trojans picked up their third conference win of the season Tuesday night with a 71-24 shellacking at Nansemond-Suffolk
Academy. Corey Brown tallied 14 points and Brandon LaRose added 11 more to lead Walsingham (16-6, 3-2). Billy Barnes added 10 points, while Jayce Beck contributed nine more. WCA — Deron Powers scored 15 points to lead Williamsburg Christan Academy’s basketball team to a convincing 50-40 victory at Isle of Wight Academy Tuesday night. Kyle Pfeifer and Will Mausteller tallied 12 points apiece for the Eagles (14-6, 9-2). Jamestown — The Eagles dropped their third game in a row Wednesday night following a 66-42 loss at Bay Rivers District front-runner Tabb (15-4, 13-2). Patrick Corbett led three players in double figures with 14 points. Allen James tallied 12 points and Quinlan McCormick added 11 more for the Tigers. Demetric Radcliffe scored a career-high 11 points to lead Jamestown (8-9, 7-8). Rodney Smith and Braden Sutton finished with seven points apiece. Warhill — Ronald Whitby and Brandon Tew scored 10 points apiece to lead York to a 71-49 victory over Warhill Wednesday in Williamsburg. Charles Blaha led Warhill (0-16, 0-14) with 11 points. Sam Buscher finished with eight points in the loss.
Hall posts milestone victory Continued from page 1B his many goals that he had to achieve.” As a freshman, Hall won his first ever tournament, capturing gold at the Ram Cup at Lafayette High. “It was the first step in my wrestling career,” Hall said. Last year, he really stormed onto the Bay Rivers District as a member of the self-proclaimed “Pain Train.”. Hall teamed with Dillon, Fransciso Messina and Charris Chillers to form the nucleus of a Jamestown team that recorded its first winning season. The Eagles had five wrestlers qualify for states last season, with two grapplers placing at states. Hall said that experience at the state level has served as motivation this year. “ Over the past two years, I have learned a lot about wrestling and how to manage and control a match,” he said. “I don't just go out on the mat and do moves anymore. Now, I have realized what moves work and what don't, how to wrestle a close match, and when to use my energy and when to
conserve it. I have really matured as a wrestler and hopefully I will continue to mature and get better.” Hall’s quest for a state berth begins this weekend at the Bay Rivers District championships held at Tabb High. With the milestone behind him, now he can focus on the task at hand. “Getting the 100 wins before the district tournament was a great confidence boost,” Hall said. “It reminded me that hard work does pay off in the end.” Cowles believes Hall has barely scratched the surface on his potential. “Now that we have had district champs and a regional champ now we must move on to the state level and have our first state champ,” Cowles said. “It will be a long hard road but as talented as Sid is, and driven as he is, I think he is up and ready for the challenge. My goal is to do what i have to do to make it come true for him or anyone on the Jamestown roster.”
Baker nets 15 in win Continued from page 1B Bruton a 22-14 halftime lead. The Lions continued to battle in the third quarter, making it a one-possession game. Malinka Walters sparked the rally with three points off the bench. Speed also buried a pair of treys to trim the lead to 26-25 with 1:11 left in the quarter. Baker spent most of the quarter on the bench in foul trouble, which caused the Panthers to go nearly four minutes without scoring. Kayla Jones ended that drought with a step out jumper late to give Bruton a 28-26 advantage with eight minutes left. Bruton regained momentum in the fourth, thanks to a 12-4 spurt to build 40-29 lead with 3:05 left. Chasity Henderson led the charge with four points and added two assists and two
steals. Alexis Petrin answered with a three-point play and Alex Kessinger added a free throw to close the gap to 40-33 with 2:39 left. But that would be as close as the Lions would get, as Bruton closed the game on a 13-4 spurt. Calloway finished with 10 points for Bruton, while Rice added five. Petrin paced Tammy Smith...

Placing a sunset on bonus ‘will be trouble’ ally get a raise, while other employees will. Denise Koch, Roberts District rep, agreed, noting that she would like the supplements to stay the same but she understands the balancing act. Jim Kelly, Berkeley rep, said placing a sunset on longevity pay will be trouble. He wondered how you’d tell one group that they are close enough to receive it, but tell others they won’t ever see the bump in pay. As it stands, the last round of employees to receive the longevity supplement are those eligible by September. Board memebers plan to continue the discussion as they get into the budget process. Passing along the 5% employee share of the VRS contribution to employees hired after June 30, 2010 went uncontested for the most part. The School division would continue to pay for employees hired prior to that date. Consultants, Evergreen Solutions LLC, recommended a 2.5% increase to the pay scales. Scott Burckbuchler, assistant superintendent for administrative services, said WJC didn’t have funds to implement that or the suggested expansion to 22 steps on all the pay scales. Instead Burckbuchler proposed a 1% increase to the pay scales. Board members supported the change, but said they would like to have further discussion about how the base pay increase will be applied, particularly to the non-teaching staff.

Phone alert for threat missed some parents Messages sent to only one Lower School list By Susan Robertson WILLIAMSBURG — After numerous parents failed to receive a phone notification about a bomb threat at Walsingham Academy the school has fixed a flaw in its system. The message was sent out Wednesday after students were forced to evacuate the schoool while emergency personnel swept the premises looking for the bomb. “A note was found on the floor in the morning in the cafeteria,” said Sister Mary Jeanne Oesterle, school president. “It said that they were going to put a bomb in the bathroom and that it would go off at 4a.m. the next morning.”

She said the note was found by a faculty member at the Lower School and that the authorities were notified immediately. Students were evacuated from both the Lower and Upper schools at 11:45 a.m. and were outside for about an hour and a half. The message to parents was sent out via blast call that afternoon, but only some parents received it. Oesterle said that’s because the Lower School has two phone lists for parents and the message was only sent to one list because a new employee working in the office was unaware there were two lists. Lower School Principal Diane Bialkowski said that the two phone lists have since been merged.

By Susan Robertson WILLIAMSBURG — Phasing out longevity pay in WJC Schools isn't a done deal. Yet. The School Board approved a compensation plan for WJC Schools Tuesday night in a 4-2 vote. City reps and Elise Emanuel and Oscar Prater voted against the strategy. “I’m just not prepared to go forward with those numbers,” Emanuel said. She was in favor of a employee retirement incentive, which offered a 15% one-time payment to eligible employees who volunteer to retire, but said she wanted to “study” the rest. She and other board members were most concerned with changes to the longevity supplement and the pase-out for current employees who are not yet receiving the additional funds. About two years ago, School Board members learned that longevity pay was not serving its intended function. Not only were teachers with 20-plus years in WJC receiving the supplement, but teachers who brought that amount of experience with them to WJC were also being rewarded. Under the new strategy, both supplements, 20- and 25-year, will be trimmed by $490, falling to $3,150 and $6,790 respectively. It will be offset by the 1% base pay increase so that no one’s pay is cut. Emanuel pointed out that it’s unfair because that means employees receiving longevity pay will not actu-

A difficult bacteria Vaccine to combat C. diff being tested locally By Ann Efimetz WILLIAMSBURG
Most people are familiar with
staph or MRSA infections that are sometimes contracted by patients in hospitals and other facilities. They may not, however, know about the rising incidence of Clostridium difficile, or “C. diff,” a bacteria that can cause symptoms ranging from diarrhea to life-threatening inflammation of the colon. The illness from C. difficile most commonly affects older adults in hospitals or in long-term care facilities and can occur after use of antibiotic medications. It can be devastating for those who contract it. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report an increase in C. diff mortality rates, which may be attributable to a more severe strain of the bacteria.
One local 73-year-old woman, who asked to remain anonymous, contracted the bacteria last spring while being treated for an infection in her toe. She was given intravenous antibiotics and contracted what she termed “virulent diarrhea,” resulting in hospitalization. It took 4-5 months for her to recover. “It was a terrible experience,” she said. “I was in the hospital four or five times with it. Every time I got better, it came back.” The ordeal has left the woman with great anxiety about ever having to take antibiotics again. When she recently read about a clinical trial being conducted by the Center for Excellence in Aging and Geriatric Health to test the effectiveness of vaccine against C. diff., she was interested in learning more. “If they come out with a vaccine, and it is found that I am appropriate for it, I will have them give it to me,” she said. The Center for Excellence is looking for people who may be interested in participating in a clinical trial. “People may not know about C. diff,” said center executive director
The trials can help the vaccine gain approval by the FDA.
Rick Jackson. “People in the community need to know about it, and decide whether they want to participate in the trial.” Those who may qualify for the vaccine are those who are 40-75 years old, have an upcoming planned hospitalization or longterm care stay within the next 60 days and never had a C. diff infection.
Registered nurse Gina Kavanaugh said the goal of the trial is to get FDA approval for the vaccine. So far six people have signed up for the vaccine. Across the country, there have been close to 300. “We are hoping to show that it will provide immunity against C. diff for 180 days,” Kavanaugh explained. Those who take part in the study get the vaccine for free, care by the center’s physician and staff, and compensation for time and travel. The results of the trial has the potential to help countless people from contracting the illness. Jeff, is another local who had a
bout with C. diff. He contracted the bacteria following emergency surgery. “It was a nasty bug, and it laid me low at a very low time already,” he said. “Anything that they can do to fight this would be a great idea.”
Jackson said he was recently attending a meeting at a local retirement community when the topic of C. diff came up. “A woman raised her hand and said she had lost her husband to C. diff,” Jackson said. “He went into the hospital for what was a routine surgery and he contracted C. diff, but he didn’t survive it.” The gravity of the illness and its effects in the lives of older people have made combating it a priority at the center. “We want to be constantly involved in treating issues that affect older adults, ” Jackson said. “This study goes to the heart of our mission. We want to educate the public.” More –– Call the Center for Excellence in Aging and Geriatric Health at 220-4751 or visit www.prevent-cdiff.com
Art is more appealing with an explanation W Perhaps they know too little about it.
hy do so many people find contemporary art unappealing?
Many people do not like art that appears to be meaningless. That is, we typically don’t respond very enthusiastically when we think that a picture is comprised of nothing but random squiggles and blotches. The often-heard phrase “I don’t get it, but I do like it” is probably a whole lot rarer than “I don’t get it and boy is it ugly.” Happily for the artists of this world, however, not all is lost. Phil A. Russell, a psychologist at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland, recently demonstrated that one’s appreciation of abstract art increases significantly when even a small amount of interpretive information is provided. Russell chose 12 abstract paintings. Many had apparently random-like shapes and colors, although a few had features that were vaguely recognizable. Think Picasso. Students were shown the paintings twice. On the first occasion, the students rated each painting according to its meaningfulness (to what extent did they understand the painting) and its pleasingness (to what extent was it pleasant to look at). Judging from these ratings, the average student could hardly have been called an art lover. The students were then shown the paintings a second time. Here, however, the paintings were categorized in terms of whether a brief 50-word paragraph of information was attached. Some paintings had the information, others not. Again, students rated both the perceived meaningfulness of each picture and its pleasingness. Russell found that reading even a short description of the painting, or a brief account of the artist’s purpose or theme, dramatically increased the pleasingness ratings and the extent to which the viewer claimed to see meaning in the painting. Apparently, the more we are told about something we don't fully understand on our own, the better we tend to like it. There is, of course, a serious lesson here. Perhaps some kind of deliberate attempt to provide information about art works, either in the museums themselves or in schools, would help an otherwise indifferent public to become more appreciative of art. What a small price to pay for such a potentially significant gain.

Can Kissing Cause Cavities?
Yes! Though cavities are not directly contagious, kissing can transfer bacteria that cause cavities from one mouth to another. However, there are many other causes of cavities that should cause you more concern. Tooth decay is caused by specific types of acid producing bacteria that cause damage in the presence of simple carbohydrates, such as sucrose, fructose and glucose. Two groups of bacteria mainly responsible for initiating cavities are Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacillus. These bacteria are strong acid producers and teeth are very sensitive to increases in Your questions—answered. acidity.

A decrease in salivary flow reduces the buffering capabilities to counterbalance the acidic environment caused by certain foods. Any decrease in saliva can increase caries activity up to 10 times. The viscosity or thickness of saliva can also be a factor. Thicker saliva decreases its cleansing capabilities and sustains an optimal environment for the bacteria to multiply.

Sweet ticket to Rides Program allows a donation given in Valentine’s name By Ann Efimetz For more than five years the Rides program has been providing transportation for non-emergency medical appointments to the disabled and seniors 55 and older. Rides is a program of the Historic Triangle Senior Center and has provided more than 27,500 rides since its inception in 2005. During the economic downturn the program has experienced some cutbacks. A large portion of the funding is provided by the Williamsburg Community Health Foundation, but more money is needed to keep the program going. The program is vital to those who need it, so fundraising efforts to help defray costs have been implemented. The second annual “Send a Valentine, Buy a Ride” initiative is underway throughout February to try to raise money and awareness about the program. Last year the fundraiser netted about $2,000. Those involved in getting the word out would like to best that amount. “Instead of giving someone a gift, you can give a donation to the Rides program in the person’s name,” explained center executive director Magdalene Staples. The money would be used to provide rides to those who can’t otherwise get to an appointment.
“A lot of folks can’t get to public transportation and don’t have family members who can take them to their medical appointments,” Staples said. “Some of these folks go regularly to appointments for dialysis or to physical therapy.” Rides asks $3 per one way trip, but the price of gas, insuring the vehicles and keeping them up is expensive. “We are trying to keep afloat,” Staples said. “We are trying to establish annual fundraisers to support ourselves.” More –– The center is asking for donations of $25. To find out more visit www.theseniorcenter.org/rides or call 259-4181. RIDES is located at 312 Waller Mill Rd., Suite 108. Hours are 8:30 a.m.-3 p.m., Monday-Friday. Call 345-6166.

by numerous factors, Warnick said people who have a family history of heart disease need to take added precautions. “That really trumps up the importance of getting regular checkups, and managing your lifestyle in a heart healthy way.” Family history played into the heart attack suffered by Cindy Steger in 2004. She was then 44 years old, in good shape, ate well and exercised regularly. However, heart disease ran in her family. Since having the heart attack, she tries to get the word out about heart health. “I spend a lot of time advocating and educating,” Steger said recently. It is an ideal time to get the word out during American Heart Month. Wednesday she had a booth in the cafeteria at NASA Langley. She spoke to women and men about heart disease, symptoms and taking care of yourself. Steger has formed WomanHeart of

Hampton Roads, a support network modeled after the national organization. Women affected by heart disease meet once a month. She hopes that more women will consider attending the meetings to learn more. Women also need to be aware of heart attack symptoms. In Steger’s case, she passed off symptoms that presented for two days. Women may feel pressure or pain that spreads to the shoulders, neck, upper back, jaw, or arms, dizziness, nausea, clammy sweats, heart flutters, paleness, unexplained feelings of anxiety, fatigue or weakness, especially with exercise, stomach or abdominal pain, shortness or breath. The initiative, “Make the Call, Don’t Miss a Beat” is the first national campaign targeted toward women regarding symptoms of heart attack and the importance of calling 911. A recent survey found that 78% of women would call 911 to save someone else, but less than 50% said they would call 911 if they were having symptoms. Here are a few tips from The Mayo Clinic about heart disease to keep in mind. Don’t smoke — Or use tobacco. Both present significant risk factors for heart disease. Exercise — For 30 minutes most days of the week. Regular daily exercise can reduce risk of fatal heart disease.
Healthy weight — As you put on weight in adulthood, your weight gain is mostly fat rather than muscle. This excess weight can lead to conditions that increase your chances of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Screenings — High blood pressure and high cholesterol can damage the heart and blood vessels. But without testing for them, you probably won’t know whether you have these conditions. Regular screening can tell you what your numbers are and whether you need to take action. In order to provide key screenings for people, Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center is holding a “Pocket EKG” sreening 10 a.m.-2 p.m., Tuesday, Feb. 22 in the hospital’s Williamsburg Room. Other screenings are scheduled for May 17 and June 16. The program provides participants with a 12-lead EKG reading, printed on a card that will fit in a wallet so that the baseline EKG is with them at all times. The screening also includes a blood pressure reading and cholesterol check. The EKGs are read by local cardiologists and are useful in identifying abnormal readings for people who may not be aware.

LAST WORD 11D
The Virginia Gazette
Several more items were omitted for lack of space. See the entirety in “Saturday’s Last Word on Friday” at vagazette.com
Cox issues “Did I understand from an earlier edition of the Last Word that James City receives a rebate on the contract with Cox? If so, how much and how is that legal?” The rebate is a payment from Cox to the county for access to rights-of-way. The county has received about $38,000 a year.
Graffiti “To the person who is making a statement by defacing public property with graffiti: Your latest work ‘No amout of paint can stop my voice’ proved what I already knew. Maybe you should spend your time getting an education instead of misspelling useless words. Your future might be a little brighter. Then again, I doubt you will read this.”
Home-schooling “What is the criteria for homebound schooling? How is it that someone can get homebound schooling if she is not pregnant, has no disability to prevent them from getting to school other than being lazy and don’t want to go to school? It amazes me how this could happen and then parents say the school and the teachers don’t care. My daughter received a great education in WJC Schools and is now attending a good college, thanks to her teachers. If parents or students cared about education, they would get out of school what they put into it and get the education needed to be a productive citizen.”
January Listing Leaders
Mike Grogan mikegrogan@williamewood.com
Growth “Cheers to companies using existing building locations for their new businesses, such as Chipotle and CVS. Jeers to companies cutting down trees when so many other locations are already available. It’s sad and unnecessary in what used to be a beautiful green town.”
Ford’s Colony “As a resident and member of the Ford’s Colony community, I have to put in a good word. The Country Club is going through tough times with the current financial situation, but the community as a whole maintains itself very well. We have well-manicured grounds, three fantastic golf courses and a real sense of pride in our neighborhoods. The sense has been that somehow, Ford’s Colony residents are stuck up or superior in a way. That is silly. In general, we are happy with our community. The place looks fantastic and I love everything about this area. I am a transplant, but you just can’t ask for nicer people than in greater Williamsburg.”
Postal issues “I live in Toano, and the mail on Wednesday included a Trader Joe’s Holiday 2010 flier that was marked as ‘To be delivered between Nov. 30 and Dec. 2.’” ● “If you are having postal problems and are not getting any satisfaction from the local post office, contact the postmaster general: John Potter, 475 L’Enfant Plaza SW, Washington DC 20260-3100 or pmgceo@usps.gov.” ● “I’m going to contact the postmaster general every time I have a problem. I’m tired of

What we need
dren, grandchildren and young people in general.”
“The Christian churches in greater Williamsburg should unite what and rent one of the empty motels as a place for the homeless. This is need needed to show that Christians love one another and that our community cares for the poor and needy. It would be a place of love and compassion. It would be a place that Jesus would be proud of and would bless.” ● “I love the ‘Does anyone know...’ section. It’s almost like the village bulletin board of old, where anyone could post a notice requesting information and/or offering help. It won’t be too long before that service becomes an Internet-based feature, perhaps even on the Gazette website. How about adding a corresponding column like ‘Since you asked...’ that would collect and provide answers to questions raised? This might provide a nice balance and make it easier to search for the answers. Together, the two columns could perhaps be made a new, standalone section of the newspaper, offering a valuable and growing connection service to readers.” Good idea. The full Last Word is posted at vagazette.com the day before it appears in print. Readers react and offer answers to questions posed.
Customer service
Medical marijuana
“Walmart has wonderful customer service employees. Thank you to Monteala for always being pleasant and courteous whenever customers are returning items, whether the line is short or long.” ● “I am a server at a local restaurant and I love my job, especially when it comes to serving customers and making sure they are happy with the food and service. The one negative thing about being a server is dealing with customers who let their kids run wild and misbehave in the restaurant. Not only is it annoying to other customers, it is dangerous when the wait staff has to avoid small children and risk dropping hot food or beverages on them.” ● “A certain tanning salon continues to bill my bank account, yet it’s out of business. A payment was deducted from my account last month and then another one was taken this month. I continue to call the owner, and he does not answer the phone or return my calls.” ● “Last Sunday at noon I went to Pierce’s Bar-B-Que for takeout. The restaurant was overflowing, however I was in and out of there in 10 minutes. What great service!” ● “Cheers to Don Brown at Bed, Bath & Beyond in WindsorMeade Marketplace for excellent customer service. I have been shopping in all of its locations for years and have never experienced such wonderful customer service. I had an issue with a comforter, and the staff was wonderful and Brown was impeccable.” ● “Anyone looking for a good handyman should call Chuck Hanna at 727-3232. He’s done work for me for years. He’s licensed and insured.” ●
“In my opinion, the person’s friend has more problems than medical marijuana. There are worse drugs. Don’t get too worked up, but the medical community is testing LSD for cancer patients. Celebrities are jumping on the bandwagon for medical marijuana. The time is here for it, we just need politicians to realize the benefits.”

School issues “While subbing at Blayton Elementary, I experienced a simple but far-reaching gesture by Principal Wes Carroll. He went around the school with a big bucket of yellow carnations and extended a ‘thank you for your hard work’ to all employees. What a great, yet simple thing to do to let them know they are appreciated.” ● “WJC bus drivers need to follow traffic laws. At various traffic lights and stop signs, I’ve seen drivers run yellow lights and not completely stop at stop signs. This is especially apparent at the entrance to Jamestown High School. It seems to have become routine for bus drivers to cut in front of other vehicles. I understand driving a school bus has unique challenges, but that does not excuse drivers from ignoring the law.”
Mish Vaiden-Clay
Mike Roberson mikeroberson@williamewood.com
“I recommend calling 291-7193 for the best caregiver anyone can have.” ● “I’m proud to know and use Jeff Nice of Future Renovations. Not only is this a veteran-owned company, Jeff and John volunteered their services for ‘Extreme Home Makeover’ on the Southside. Even though there’s no real exposure for all of the small contractors who work on the project, they are still willing to participate just to give back to the community. 236-3006.” ● “I recently went to Williamsburg Gold & Silver to sell a friend’s broken jewelry. I was given $94 more than a Newport News place or another man offered. In addition, it was explained to me what they were doing.” ● “We recently had our closet done by Closet America and were amazed at the process. The designer showed us a 3-D picture of every closet prior to arriving. We had a large walk-in closet installed in just over five hours. It was beautifully crafted and reasonably priced. Closet America is at 8768854. It also has a showroom inside Tidewater Interiors on Monticello Avenue.”

800-524-0992 • 757-229-0550 not getting my mail in a timely matter, and I’m tired of mailing things that do not get to their destination.” ● “I have problems not receiving magazines until very late, not receiving bills on time, and I have not received my federal tax forms. Of course, this must all be due to storms in Detroit. On Feb. 1, I received a special offer from Verizon. Problem is, it expired Jan. 31. No wonder residents are upset with the service. Mine comes from the Monticello branch. While I agree there are some concerns with the system, I thank our deliverer, Lisa. While she was delivering mail in our neighborhood, I was walking my dogs when they became excited, causing me to trip over them and fall. Lisa took time out of her schedule to call my neighbor to check on me.”
Tucson aftermath “I read that Rep. Gabby Giffords is taking cognitive rehabilitative therapy. We have tens of thousands of wounded American servicemen and women who have had brain injuries in the line of duty who cannot get the same treatment because Tri Care does not permit it.” ● “If the national news media played up stabbings or knife injuries the way it does shootings, intentional or accidental, we would not be allowed to have a knife in our pocket, in kitchens or on the dinner table. The Jan. 26 item was right: It’s convict the weapon, not the user.”
Old biddies “Thanks for the gender and age bias when referring to us ‘old biddies’ as being the only ones gossiping about others. Most of us have had to work our whole life, raise families and many have had to do it all on our own. We do not have time to sit around and gossip about you.

Lost & Found “I lost a clip earring a few weeks ago at Walmart or the Outlet Mall. It has a triangular-shaped dangly piece made out of opaque stained-glass, attached with a curvy copper wire to a silver clip. Call 220-0641.” ● “I lost a pair of bifocal glasses with a gold frame on Feb. 2. Call 810-7601.
Constructive criticism “People need to learn how to accept criticism. To control your negative response, tell the person who criticizes you that you appreciate them telling you when you do something wrong because it helps you do better. Try to learn from each experience in your life, and avoid taking the criticism out on someone else. You will be a success when you learn from your failures.”
Does anyone know... “I have bad credit from old medical bills and want to fix it, but I can’t even get approved for a department store card. What am I to do?” ● “Is there a clothing store here that offers clothes made in America?” ● “Does anyone know where I can purchase a thick slab of bacon, the old-fashioned kind with the skin on it?”
12D I LAST WORD
The Virginia Gazette
Feb. 5, 2011
Mental abuse
Coach Wheeler
“I have been with my husband for 17 years, and always thought we had a happy marriage. There have been ups and downs, but some things have happened during the past 11⁄2 years. When we first married, I weighed 160 pounds. I have since gained 80 pounds. I know this is not healthy, but I thought he was supposed to love me no matter what. One night I was awakened at 3 a.m. because I was snoring. He took me into the kitchen to throw out all the junk food. Another day I was eating some chips and he asked me in front of other people if I was going to make a meal out of them. Does anyone consider this mental abuse?”
“The refusal of the WJC administration to allow Coach Paul Wheeler to rescind his resignation is an example of the type of management that has become the hallmark of Central Office. It’s demoralizing for teachers, administrators and other school staff. I hope it changes with the new superintendent.” ● “We keep reading about the plight of the Lafayette football coach, but no one has ever mentioned what it’s really all about.” Here’s a synopsis: A Lafayette player complained that Coach Wheeler grabbed him by the jersey and cursed during a practice. The teen’s father took the matter to Central Office. Wheeler offered to resign as coach following the season but later changed his mind. His request was rejected by assistant Superintendent Dianna Lindsay. Whether he keeps his coaching job is now in the hands of the School Board.

closure. Colonial Williamsburg had a fiduciary duty to impose architectural and landuse covenants for this historic property, but it had no business trying to prevent Minor from opening the house to the public, even for the Virginia Garden Clubs tour in April. Let’s hope that condition is dropped during this flap.” ● “The Gazette is always one-sided against Colonial Williamsburg. Halsey Minor has had major issues with his finances for quite some time. Colonial Williamsburg is not the only institution that’s had issues with him. Our office has been appalled by the things that happened at Carter’s Grove against Minor, yet one would never know that by reading the newspaper. Last time I checked, Virginia is a ‘fire-beware’ state. You have a right to a thorough home inspection when buying a $15 million house. Maybe Minor should talk to his home inspector. As far as the deed, no one held a gun to Minor’s head to tell him to sign it.” Efforts to get explanations from Colonial Williamsburg have been rebuffed because it’s in the hands of lawyers. More — Essay 31A.
Colonial Williamsburg “Regarding the article (Feb. 2 Gazette) about redecorating the Governor’s Palace and how Colonial Williamsburg is removing the beautiful gilded leather wall hangings: I am appalled by this information, and I think it should not happen. If it’s been up there since 1937, there certainly should be nothing historically wrong with it. How can historians all of a sudden come up with something that has been there for so many years and explained so well by the interpreters? It’s a beautiful piece of history and should remain.” The wall hangings have been removed.
Library policy “Why would you target employees who do not live in the local jurisdiction to be the first to lose their jobs (Feb. 2 Last Word)? They did not have a say in changing the policy. I agree that it is wrong to limit card holders to local jurisdiction. If you are not happy, direct your anger at the right people.” ● “I would like Susan Bauer to explain why I do not have full checkout privileges at Swem Library at the College of William & Mary.” ● “I continue to be amazed that residents from other localities think they should be entitled to use the resources bought and paid for by Williamsburg, James City and York residents. The fact that the library committee even allocated them time at the meeting to express their viewpoint is just wrong. If those who don’t live here want access to a better library system, they should be protesting to their localities for appropriating the money needed. There is no reason Charles City or New Kent can’t pay to use the James City resources, just like York does.”
