STAFF REPORT

FRANKLIN—While investigating a burglary and rape that reportedly occurred Wednesday on Washington Street in Franklin, local police discovered another victim of sexual assault, which occurred Tuesday evening, and later made an arrest. Tremaine M. Porter, 26, last known address 305 Edwards St., Apt. A, in Franklin, was arrested in connecting with the Tues-

day sexual assault, and the Franklin Police Department suspects he is also involved in the Wednesday burglary and rape, said Lt. Timothy Whitt, spokesman for the Franklin Police Department. In the Tuesday attack, the suspect reportedly led the victim – a juvenile – to the back of an apartment complex, where he allegedly abducted and raped her by force. Information was obtained that Porter was staying at a residence in

Suffolk. With the help of the Suffolk Police Department, warrants were served on him at the 7600 block of Harvest Drive. Porter was taken into custody without incident Wednesday night. Porter has yet to be charged with the Washington Street burglary and rape, but based on information, police believe him to be responsible, said Whitt. At approximately 5:30 a.m., an individual forced entry through a back door

and sexually assaulted the 48-year-old resident. The victim was also struck in the face, causing injury. She was later treated at Southampton Memorial Hospital. It is unknown at this time if anything was taken. Whitt said police have worked all day constantly on identifying and apprehending the suspect. Anyone with information about this crime can call the Franklin Police Department at 757-5628587 or Franklin Crime

ISLE OF WIGHT—At the end of the string attached for a new fulltime resource officer in Isle of Wight county elementary schools is a high price tag. So much so that the Board of Supervisors had to turn down the offer. This past spring, IOW Sheriff Mark Marshall had sought a $50,000 grant from the state to get such a person. “We applied for a position, and we received notification that requires board acceptance,” said Marshall. “The caveat required a match, and it was a significant.

We will continue to move forward with the measures that are already in place, however having another full-time SRO

would have been an added benefit for our students and staff.” Marshall assured that the two officers at the two high schools and the one alternating at middle schools remain in place for the school year.

In the second year, the grant would have been $21,000, and it would have required the county pay almost $34,000. The third year’s grant would have been $14,000, with the local contribution being $41,000, and in the final year the grant would have been $7,100, with $48,000 contributed from the county. “By the fifth year you’d pick up the whole amount,” said Marshall. “Given the economic climate of the county and revenues, they (the

SUFFOLK—Virginia pork producers are closely watching their herds for signs of a deadly virus after the illness cropped up on farms in North Carolina. Experts say there is no risk to humans who consume pork, even if the animal was infected with Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus. About 430 farms in the United States — mostly in the Midwest — are affected, and measures have been instituted to help prevent the further spread of illness, officials say. As its name suggests, the disease causes acute diarrhea in pigs and kills a majority of piglets. Adult pigs are better able to handle the effects of the disease. The disease was first recognized in

1971 in Great Britain and since has spread throughout Europe and Asia, according to Mark Estienne, the swine extension specialist at Virginia Tech’s Tidewater Agricultural Research and Extension Center on Holland Road. However, the first known case of it in the United States was in May of this year. Most recently, some farms in North Carolina owned by Smithfield Foods supplier Murphy-Brown have been infected, Murphy-Brown spokesman Don Butler said on Wednesday. “We have had a very small number of farms affected by it and have implemented a lot of security,” Butler said. “We have a robust biosecurity program already, but in a situation like this we redouble our efforts.” The company is restricting visits to SEE VIRUS, P.

Franklin to continue to look at solid waste alternatives CAIN MADDEN/MANAGING EDITOR cain.madden@tidewaternews.com

FRANKLIN—Both the Franklin City Council and Southampton County Board of Supervisors each voted Monday to support Southeastern Public Service Authority’s efforts to bring costs of waste disposal down by 2018. The resolution with SPSA is non-binding, and it concerns solid waste after Jan. 24, 2018. When the contract is up, the City of Franklin and Southampton County can also consider other means of solid waste disposal, taking into account the best interests of the people. “This keeps all of our option open at this point,” said Michael Johnson, adminis-

trator for Southampton County. Many area residents complain about the tipping fees with SPSA. Over the years, SPSA incurred significant debt, resulting in financial hardship that required the company to raise tipping fees to unprecedented levels in early 2009. SPSA has refinanced bond obligations and sold assets in an effort to reduce its debt, with the goal of having its debt eliminated by the expiration of the agreement. It is also considering its policies and operation issues through a newly established committee. Staﬀ Writer Stephen H. Cowles contributed to this story.

Bus Company Wins Interstate Approval EDITORS NOTE: Looking Back features past articles from The Tidewater News with commentary by local historian Clyde Parker. JULY 26, 1963 Somebody up in Washington has a heart for the small fellow after all. Following a three-year battle with transportation industry giants, Greyhound and Trailways, Gurnie Blunt of 309 Roosevelt Street in Franklin has won the right to operate his bus line on interstate charter trips. Blunt, who has been in business in Franklin since 1950, has been tangled up in a legal fight for an interstate license from the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC) since 1959. For many years, Blunt operated his five buses out of state not knowing it was illegal to do so without a license. He found out the hard way that he was in violation. In 1959, on a trip from Booker T. Washington High School to Washington, D.C., Blunt was followed and later reported to the ICC. In July of that year, Blunt appeared at an ICC hearing in Richmond; and, in support of his application for a license, he presented written endorsements from the Franklin Chamber of Commerce and the Franklin Jaycees. And, appearing at the hearing on Blunt’s behalf were G. Hinson Parker, Marion Whitfield and a representative from Darden Oil Co. Appearing in opposition to Blunt’s application were attorneys for Greyhound and Trailways. Their stated reason for being in opposition was “we can handle ALL the business there is from the Franklin area.” Despite Blunt’s demonstrated ability to operate his bus line efficiently and safely, the commission ruled against him. He didn’t know it then but his fight was just beginning. He filed again and a second hearing was held in January of 1960. Again, the ICC ruled against him. Following that denial, Blunt’s attorney, Henry E. Ketner of Richmond, filed an appeal and another hearing was granted – one year later – in January of 1961. At that hearing, more than 145 witnesses appeared on Blunt’s behalf. They were representing civic clubs and organizations from Southampton, Isle of Wight, Sussex and Nansemond counties, and the City of Franklin. Included in the group was Franklin Police Chief Willie Burrow who added a character reference for Blunt. Blunt’s supporters told the ICC that he had been in business for 14 years, has an excellent driving record and is well thought of by residents of his community. He provides dependable charter service for many schools and groups. Again, he had opposition. This time it was just Trailways. Nevertheless, this time around, the ICC granted Blunt an interstate license. However, Trailways attorneys promptly appealed it to the ICC in Washington. At the appeals hearing, a Trailways representative said, “Blunt is unfit, unwilling and incapable of operating interstate bus service.” In commenting further, another Trailways person said, “We own 289 buses for interstate work and these buses are modern with air conditioning and restrooms.” “Our buses cost them from $45,000 to $50,000 each and are available for charter service on an hour’s notice.” “We run three routes through Franklin.” In October of 1962, Blunt received notice that his application had been denied again. By this time, Blunt was discouraged and his attorney even said he didn’t expect he could ever win. But Blunt decided to continue the fight. He was reinforced by the support of so many people. “Everywhere I went people would come up to me and say ‘I am behind you, keep trying’,” Blunt said. In March of 1963, Blunt’s attorney agreed to file another appeal to the ICC. Another hearing was held. This time, there was no opposition and approval was granted. Blunt can now operate his buses out of state. However, permission was limited to Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Washington, D.C. and New York City. The ICC, in trying to justify its earlier denials, said that they wanted to make sure existing carriers have all the business they could handle before allowing another carrier to enter the field. “But, since Blunt has been in business for 14 years without an accident, has no court record and 145 people are supporting his application, we NOW have second thoughts, and are reversing ourselves,” an ICC spokesman said. “It would seem like there is enough business for Blunt and the others too.” “I owe it to the people of Franklin, they were behind me and I just couldn’t stop and still face them,” commented Blunt.

Sundayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gospel (Luke 11:1-13) contains the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prayer. Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version is significantly different from Matthewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, the one we know by heart. Neither Mark nor John contains the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Prayer. In Luke, Jesus says â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial.â&#x20AC;? Notice the three obvious things missing from Lukeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s briefer version: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our Father in heaven; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven; and but deliver us from evil.â&#x20AC;? Well then, the obvious question arises: which Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prayer did Jesus really say? Matthew was written by a pharisaic Jew for Jewish converts to Christianity, probably after they were expelled from the synagogues. Structured in five sections, the gospel was the new Lawâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;the new and improved five books of Moses, with Jesus as the new and improved Moses. On the other hand, Luke was written for Greek-speaking gentile converts to Christianity. Luke, a physician friend of Paul, writes in more eloquent Greek: sophisticated imperfect and durative verb tenses, longer sentences with participle phrases. There are less obvious differences: Matthew says â&#x20AC;&#x153;forgive us our debts,â&#x20AC;? while Luke says â&#x20AC;&#x153;forgive us our sins.â&#x20AC;? And the prayer comes in different places in the two gospels. Matthew has it as a part of the Sermon on the Mount. In Luke, Jesus is gathered with the disciples who ask him to teach them how to pray as John taught his disciples, a more probable scenario. But there are some obvious

similarities. We are to pray that God reign in the heart of every human being. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thy kingdom comeâ&#x20AC;? is a reinforcement of Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teaching that â&#x20AC;&#x153;the kingdom of God is at handâ&#x20AC;? in the here and now, rather than only existing in the afterlife. And addressing God as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Abbaâ&#x20AC;? (Aramaic for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daddyâ&#x20AC;?) is so unique and personal that to my mind it could only have been thought of by Jesus himself, with his intimate relationship with the Father. Our being forgiven for our sins is conditioned upon us allowing and forgiving others when they sin against us. The word for forgive â&#x20AC;&#x153;aphiemiâ&#x20AC;? means literally to â&#x20AC;&#x153;let goâ&#x20AC;? of the sins, to disregard our sins, to keep them no longer and even to permit us to sin. It is a powerful explanation of the extent of our required forgiveness. The phrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lead us not into temptationâ&#x20AC;? is probably the poorest translation from the Aramaic that Jesus spoke into the Greek of the gospels. As James tells us, God does not lead nor tempt us to sin. In its original form, the prayer probably meant something more like â&#x20AC;&#x153;do not let us be led (by ourselves, others) down the wrong path of thinking (the test of our character).â&#x20AC;? So when you pray the Lordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s prayer, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just say the words, really pray them. Take them to heart.

COURTLAND—Rawls Museum Arts, a partner of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts opens Southern Culture/Southern Sites at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, July 27. Both emerging and mid-career photographers consider the theme of what it is to be southern. The main gallery features artists who create portraits both with models, but also using props that emblemize southern charm and accessibility. Virginia-based artist Glen McClure does portraiture, combining microand macro-levels of awareness. Jeffrey W. Allison has traveled the state as manager of the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Statewide Partners Program, creating a body of work that reveals beauty in the everyday and in the unexpected. Suffolk resident Brenda Wright creates compositions that likewise consider the everyday, particularly southern signage and traditional southern venues like county fairs and eateries. And looking at the South with fresh eyes is transplanted New York City fashion photographer Leeta Harding. Leeta has held casting calls to feature area youth in historical southern settings.

Blindness doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop pastor from delivering message Frank Aikens keeps on preaching BY MERLE MONAHAN/ CONTRIBUTING WRITER merlemonah@aol.com

IVORâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Rev. Frank L. Aikens Sr., pastor of New Branch Baptist Church in Ivor since 1986, still preaches, despite losing his sight more than three years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when you know the Bible and God is with you, you can do it without any problems,â&#x20AC;? Aikens said of delivering the word of God while blind. The beloved minister lost his sight due to complications of diabetes in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some people might wonder, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why me?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t question God. He has been good to me. I have a wonderful wife and family, and the best church family, I think, in the world.â&#x20AC;? The reverend added that the members of this church are so kind and help him in many ways. Aikens came to New Branch, the church that was to become his first full-time church, from Shiloh Baptist Church in Chesterfield County, where he was an associate pastor. Ordained at Shiloh just after being called to preach at New Branch 27 years ago, he has been here ever since. Prior to going into the ministry and ultimately ending up in the Tidewater region, Aikens tried a few other professions. He was with the 20th Air Division of the U. S. Air

Force from 1969 until 1973. He did not see combat in Vietnam, he said, as he was deployed to the Far East and the Philippines. Discharged from the service while he was stationed at Fort Lee, Aikens became an insurance agent for the Prudential Insurance Company and later became an announcer for the Petersburg Broadcasting Company, WSSV and WPLZ. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where I met my wife, LaVern,â&#x20AC;? he said with a smile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was a teller at a bank in Petersburg, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d go in and pass several other tellersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; windows just to get to hers.â&#x20AC;? Thus began a great love story, the pastor went on. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We complement each other, even down to our vision problems.â&#x20AC;? Aikens revealed that his wife has had a sight issue since birth, although she is not legally blind, as he is. Married in 1978, the couple settled in Petersburg and have always made their home there. They have four children, Frank Jr., Jonathan, Angela and LaTasha, all grown and with their own families now. Aiken said, however, that since 1977, he had felt a calling to serve God in some capacity. He attended Virginia State University, and in 1979, became licensed to preach. He served as chaplain at the Riverside Regional Jail in Hopewell for 10 years and worked as an associate at the Rainbow Book Store

MERLE MONAHAN |TIDEWATER NEWS

The Rev. Frank L. Aikens Sr. in Colonial Heights, â&#x20AC;&#x153;where they had lots of books and Bibles,â&#x20AC;? he said. He serves as president of the United Federation of Churches in Southampton County. The long-time pastor praises his staff at New Branch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have three wonderful associate pastors, the Rev. James Ricks, the Rev. Jenny Boykins and the Rev. Mary

Bowers, as well as Deacon James Uzzell, who take a lot of the load off me. They keep things running smoothly, like handling Sunday School and even preaching on occasion.â&#x20AC;? Technology also comes into play when the Rev. Aikens delivers Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s word. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I am very fortunate that there are tapes and CDs,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding that

farms from anyone other than necessary personnel, he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve put in a lot of additional measures to sanitize vehicles that deliver animals and feed,â&#x20AC;? he added. The virus is spread via fecal-to-oral transmission, so any route by which even a small amount of fecal matter from an infected farm could make its way to an unaffected facility would spread the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It behaves similar to

other diseases weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re aware of, and those diseases tend to die out in hot weather,â&#x20AC;? Butler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hopeful the onset of warmer weather will help us stamp out this disease.â&#x20AC;? Estienne reiterated that the disease is not a concern for human health or food safety. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a production concern,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best way to deal with it is to keep it out of the farm. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want visitors that have just come from another hog farm.â&#x20AC;?

Estienne said the pigs at the Holland Road research station have not shown any signs of the disease, nor has it been found anywhere else in Virginia. Elaine Lidholm, director of communications for the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, is thankful for that. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a couple or three cases in North Carolina,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They seem to have kept it confined to those three farms, so it may be that enhanced biosecurity is keeping it from

spreading any more.â&#x20AC;? Those three farms do not have any known connections to any in Virginia, such as common owners, so Lidholm said producers remain hopeful pigs in the commonwealth will not be affected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most people have a high level of biosecurity anyway, but it certainly canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hurt to take a look at it,â&#x20AC;? she said, recommending cleaning truck tires and dipping boots in antiseptic baths as good ways to avoid spreading the virus.

to pay at least 55 cents more than that. Franklin schools also recently met state certification for nutritional standards, said Lawrence Whiting, supervisor of pupil services. To meet the standards, cafeterias have to serve all groups of vegetables everydayâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;red and orange, including carrots, leafy dark green, starchy, and peas and beans. As well, students have to meet a certain calorie count every day, while keeping saturated fat down. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to fry as little as possible,â&#x20AC;? Whiting said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are getting new ovens in November, and hopefully with those we will be able to phase frying out.â&#x20AC;? Currently, the school has a two-week rotation of menus for each day, but it is trying to add a third week of menus, he said. Menu changes can be a challenge, due to having to find items of comparable nutritional standards, so that the schools can remain certified. Whiting said there have been complaints, especially at the higher level of schools, but that these are consistent across the

state in districts that have implemented this program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The complaints are not about taste, the students like the food, or if they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t, we switch it out for something they will eat,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They complain that the food is not enough. I know that it is to cut down on the obesity problem, but it is probably something we need to look at in the future.â&#x20AC;? Superintendent Dr. Michelle Belle said also she likes the food. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our food is very good,â&#x20AC;? Belle said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I would eat at the cafeteria every day if I had the time. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pleased with the job our managers and cooks do.â&#x20AC;? Whiting added he does eat at the cafeteria every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ladies do a great job in the cafeteria, the food is good and they have a great rapport with the students,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They work very hard.â&#x20AC;? Students at the elementary level are expected to get between 550 and 650 calories at lunch, and saturated fat has to be less than 10 percent of those calories. Students at the middle school level are expected to get 600 to 700 calories per day, and saturated fat again

Andrew Lowe comes up big in Wakefield American sweep STAFF REPORT

Andrew Lowe got the game winning RBI on a suicide squeeze in the bottom half of the sixth inning in Game 1, and he pitched 3 hit baseball in game 2, leading Wakefield American to a sweep of Hopewell in Wakefield last night. Wakefield, down 4-2 in the bottom half of 5th inning rallied for 2 runs. Dawson Stevens led off with a base on balls, followed by a Brett Starcher single. Starcher took 2nd on a passed ball, and Wes Pearce followed with a walk to load the bases. After quickly falling behind 0-2, Austin Pearce fought off a couple of tough pitches to earn a walk, scoring Stevens. Dalton Daugherty grounded into a double play scoring a speedy Starcher, sending the game into extra innings. Playing by the international rule of taking the last out and placing him on 2nd base to lead off the inning,

Brett Starcher, who came in to pitch in the 4th inning, stymied Hopewell in the top half of the 6th, leaving 2 runners in scoring position. Wakefield came up to bat after placing Brian Craft on 2nd. Craft took 3rd on a wild pitch, but was unable to score on Trevor Daugherty’s hit back to the pitcher. Up steps Andrew Lowe, who had discussed the suicide squeeze play with Coach Ricky Powell moments before. Craft broke from 3rd as Lowe dropped a perfect bunt down the first base line to win it for Wakefield 5-4. Lowe didn’t stop there. In game 2, he scattered 3 hits, all singles and struck out 5 en route to a 3-1 Wakefield win. Dalton Daugherty provided all the scoring needed with a 2 run single in the first inning. Lowe provided an RBI single in the 2nd inning to complete the scoring for the Americans.

FRANKLIN—Megan Coburn recently added gold to her collection of bowling medals, and she’s not stopping there. The 17-year-old Southampton High School student played at the Subway Commonwealth Games of Virginia this past weekend in Christiansburg. She’s already earned silver and bronze in the past two years respectively. For 2013, the website results show that Coburn bowled 132/220 at the bronze level, then 137/225 at the silver before earning her top spot in the category of

girls 16-19 handicap. “I want to go back next year,” she said. Meanwhile, Coburn is preparing for her next challenge, which comes up at the Pennsylvania Junior Bowlers Tournament Series during early August. She practices by bowling two to three times a week at the Franklin Bowling Center. Her interest began 10 years ago when she was seven years old, said her sister, Desty Heikens of Carrsville. “She went one day and fell in love with it,” Heikens said, and added with a smile, “I’m a cheerleader.”

Coburn confirmed said and she took to bowling right away, but acknowledged that developing confidence and skill took awhile. She added that meeting new people has been a side benefit to playing the sport she loves. To get an idea of how far she has progressed in bowling, imagine bowling seven strikes in a row. “I started freaking out,” Coburn said with a large grin about a practice run she did last Friday. When she’s not at the lanes, Coburn splits her time with their father, Wayne, in Carrsville, and mother, Susan, in Boykins.

Rising Stars Basketball a success, coaches claim STAFF REPORT

To put the program on, Parks and Recreation Athletic Specialist Clay Hyatt teamed up with Coach Danny Dillon, former Liberty University basketball player. The basketball camps had all levels of athletes and consisted of a few college players as well who came to help. These young athletes learned all the fundamentals from dribbling, passing, to positioning themselves properly on defense and boxing out. The camp also had the Rising Stars Basketball challenge for each age group. Russell Ballance won the overall challenge by hitting 10 for 10 layups, 8 for 10 free throws and 7 for 10 from beyond the three-point line.

Part of 20,000 acres of preserved land in area CAIN MADDEN/MANAGING EDITOR cain.madden@tidewaternews.com

FRANKLIN—Boaters, birders and others interested in wildlife conservation can look forward to a 443-acre tract of land no longer being open to commercial, logging or residential development. Byrd’s Point, as it’s called, is named after William Byrd, who surveyed the area in 1728. The land is at the confluence of the Blackwater and Nottoway rivers near the border with North Carolina and forms the Chowan River. The property helps link more than 20,000 acres of conservation lands in Virginia and into North Carolina. “The scenic value is one of the big public benefits,” said Brain van Eerden, director of the Southern Rivers Program for The Nature Conservancy. “It contributes to the efforts to maintain the beauty of the Blackwater River, and the Nottoway, of course, is equally as impressive.” The area is also not far from the new Hercules Boat Launch by the Highway 258 Bridge, so boaters have easy

access to it, said Riverkeeper Jeff Turner. “It would be a great place for people to canoe, kayak or just put-put by there and look at the wildlife,” Turner said. “It is great that it won’t be logged or anything. It will be there in its natural state.” This area will join some 4,000 acres being preserved on waterways in Virginia, much of it along the Blackwater and Nottoway. Turner said some parts of the river have already been logged, and it is an eyesore, and also a habitat killer. Wildlife habitat conservation is another big part of it, van Eerden said. Most important is habitat for the river herring and longleaf pine. “The river herring is a part of this area’s cultural history, and the herring have dropped considerably in numbers,” he said. “At some point, the herring will come back, we think, and what we are doing is making sure as their stock increases that there will be premier habitat when they make their migratory runs up river.” Turner asked that people imagine what happens when logging crews come through and destroy habi-

tat. “When they go in and clear cut the swamp and don’t leave anything there, think of where all that wildlife has to move,” he said. “I don’t even know where they all go.” The longleaf pine is a big part of how The Nature Conservancy received its grant from the Commonwealth of Virginia. The South Quay Sandhills Natural Preserve area, which Byrd’s Point now belongs to, has some of the best remaining examples of longleaf pine forest, van Eerden said. “At one time, longleaf pine forests occupied more than 1 million acres in Virginia,” he said. “Now it is down to a couple hundred acres, and the best chunk is in this area. It has been a priority for the state and The Nature Conservancy for decades.” The area is also important historically, not only for an area where surveyors came through and camped, but it also has links to the revolutionary and civil wars. “During the Revolutionary War, the community of South Quay was on the Blackwater River,” van Ee-

A look at more than 2,800 acres of wetland conserved in the area, including the recent addition of Byrd’s Point, which adds 443 acres of conservation land. In more modern times, the area was important for river barge traffic feeding to the former Union Camp Saw Mill. “If that property could talk, and tell what it had seen, it would point to a lot of interesting historical events in the Western Tidewater area,” van Eerden said. Turner was a big part of making this happen, he added. “He is an inspiration for doing water conservation,” van Eerden said. “He has a true vision and passion for doing water conservation. “In practical terms, he has been a huge boost in providing river tours for funders and donors, to show first hand how important the area really is.” Turner likewise thanked van Eerden for having such a big interest in the two rivers. “We are very lucky to have him,” Turner said. For landowners thinking of selling timber rights, van

rden said. “It was an important inland port that had a big shipbuilding area, and until it was burned during the war it was a major port.” Along the river as well, there are some land features that point to the entrenchments that were put in place by both the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War, as the river system was important for both sides to control.

PMI Advantage

Eerden suggested that conservation was a good route. “Landowners who would like to see wetlands conserved, but still get some cash out of their timber, should consider The Nature Conservancy,” he said. “Not only do landowners get money out of their timber, but it is a win-win for us because it provides protection for important wetland areas.” Another funding source was through a grant through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Nature Conservancy is a non-profit private organization that has been active in Virginia for more than 50 years. Sheriff Jack Stutts, who owns land near the property, said he was excited to see the area conserved as a citizen of Southampton County. “I just think it is wonderful that they got it,” Stutts said. “It is nice to know that it is going to stay just like it is, and be there for everyone to enjoy.”

The new 2013-14 Hunting and Trapping in Virginia Digest is on the VDGIF website. The guide contains information on the 2013-14 seasons and bag limits and new regulation changes passed by the Board of Game & Inland Fisheries at the June 13 board meeting. The printed version of the digest will be available by Thursday, Aug. 1. An overall summary of the changes is found at the beginning of the digest on page eight, “What’s New,” and will be highlighted in more detail in the next edition of the Outdoor Report. This year’s hunting seasons overall will be very similar to last year. One new change that is expected to be popular with sportsmen is that hunters of any age with an Apprentice License can participate in the special youth days for deer, turkey and the newly established Bear Youth and Apprentice Hunter Day. The 10-hour Hunter Education Course has been replaced by a new format with a self-study requirement for students, followed by six hours of classroom instruction. The new course is expected to allow students more flexibility in scheduling, and will focus on safety, hunting ethics and conservation. Hunters interested in applying for the early quota hunts, such as New Kent Forestry Center dove hunt, Radford deer hunts, Hog Island deer hunt and others should print off, complete, and mail in the quota applications found on pages 67-69 so not to miss the early application deadlines.

STAFF REPORT

More than $11,000 was raised this year at the Beef BBQ event, held at the fairgrounds.

National dove hunter survey announced STAFF REPORT

Virginia dove hunters are asked to participate in a nationwide survey this summer. The National Dove Hunter Survey wants dove hunters to share their experiences and opinions about dove hunting. The survey is a cooperative effort by the many state fish and

wildlife agencies, all four flyway councils, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Objectives of the survey include learning about dove hunter characteristics: time spent hunting, perceived constraints to hunting, and thoughts about potential effects of spent lead from hunting ammunition on mourning doves and other wildlife.

The survey was mailed out in late June, and will be compiled by yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end. The survey is being undertaken because many issues and concerns of dove hunters are largely unknown. The survey will help state and federal agencies make more informed decisions on issues important to hunters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nationally, there are more

than one million dove hunters in the United States. This survey will encompass all regions of the country and will give us an excellent picture of hunter opinions and needs,â&#x20AC;? said Dr. Ken Richkus of the Serviceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Population and Habitat Assessment Branch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Service and the states want to make sure we use the best science-based informa-

tion for the management and conservation of our migratory bird resources and take hunter opinions and preferences into account whenever possible.â&#x20AC;? More information about the survey, including a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Frequently Asked Questionsâ&#x20AC;? page can be found on the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries website.
