Board takes first close look at budget

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors took its first in-depth look at part of the county’s proposed fiscal year 2016 budget last week.

The board met on Monday, March 9 in the first of four budget workshops being held at 5 p.m. on Mondays in March at the Village Building to delve into the finer points of an almost $54.4 million budget being proposed. The meetings are open to the public.

POWHATAN – Conservative Republican Glen Sturtevant recently announced his candidacy for Virginia’s 10th Senate district, which includes all of Powhatan County and portions of Chesterfield County and Richmond City.

“I am running for Senate to make state government more accountable to you,” Sturtevant said. “I’ll oppose higher taxes, job-killing regulations and the expansion of ObamaCare. Low taxes and limited government are the keys to growing our economy, and I strongly believe in the constitutional principles that have made this nation great.”

He added he plans to work for “budget transparency, performance audits of all state agencies and pro-growth economic policies.”

“I’ll push for a lower tax burden so you can keep more of what you earn, and a strong free-market where all businesses can thrive and create goodpaying jobs,” Sturtevant said.

Sturtevant and his wife Lori, a schoolteacher, are the parents of three adopted children. Making sure they have access to quality schools motivated him to run for the Richmond School Board, he said.

As the only Republican on the city’s school board, Stur-

STURTEVANT

tevant said he led conservative efforts to audit the school system and post the system’s check register online so taxpayers know exactly where their dollars are being spent.

He has pushed for zero-based budgeting reforms to prioritize spending and ensure schools spend taxpayer dollars in the classroom instead of on bureaucracy.

Sturtevant, who received his law degree from George Mason University, is a practicing attorney who was honored with the Virginia State Bar Service Award. Sturtevant said he has undertaken efforts to provide free legal services to survivors of natural disasters and emergencies across Virginia, and he helps veterans get the help they deserve from the Department of Veterans Affairs.

POWAHTAN – Final numbers regarding state level funding and health insurance increases caused the Powhatan County School Board to reconsider a few aspects of its proposed fiscal year 2016 budget at a workshop on Monday, March 9.

Eric Jones, superintendent, and Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations, updated the board on how the final numbers they had received could be applied to prevent employee contributions to health insurance from increasing and bring some workers at the bottom of the pay scale up significantly.

Johns presented the board with two budget options at the workshop. Both options were similar in that they presented a budget totaling $44,203,072. This was an increase over the last budget update due to $23,738 more in state funding than the administration was anticipating, Jones said.

Both options also included a proposed change to the schools’ contribution to employee health insurance.

The board did not take a formal vote on the options. It was scheduled to approve a final budget on Tuesday, March 17 to send to the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors. This happened after press time.

The only difference in the two options relates to how the school

board could choose to apply a proposed salary increase to employees, Jones said.

“Knowing the board’s desire to do some targeted salary adjustments based on the salary study that we did both last year and this fall, we thought we would bring back an updated proposal that includes two different options for your consideration,” he said.

JONES

Salary increase changes The first option Johns presented only differed from what the board had already heard in regard to the state contribution.

In Option A, the state offered $186,316 in incentive dollars tied to a 1.5 percent salary increase for school employees. Powhatan would make up the difference to give that 1.5 percent raise to all employees, with a total price tag of $495,000.

The budget also reflects a proposed targeted pay adjustment for

the schools’ five lowest paid employee groups – the cafeteria workers, teacher assistants, mechanics, drivers and nurses – to the amount of $185,530 total, Johns said.

This amount was reduced due to funding limitations and does not fully achieve the school board’s goal of increasing pay to the median rankings of the region.

JOHNS

However, they do improve most of the positions by one to three rankings, according to Johns’ budget handout.

The cost of the targeted adjustment for the cafeteria workers at $14,793 is reflected in the line items as a transfer to the Food Service Fund, Johns pointed out.

With Option A, Jones said the extra money received from the state would be used to offset the health insurance proposal.

Option B takes advantage of language regarding the money see SCHOOL page 2A

from the state to allow the school to provide an average of a 1.5 percent raise to employees. It cuts out the 1.5 across the board and instead only has targeted adjustments for certain groups.

This option would affect 281 out of 344 teachers 14 of 23 cafeteria workers; 55 of 64 teacher assistants; 7 of 7 mechanics; 25 of 88 drivers; 5 of 5 nurses; 7 of 7 assistant principals and 6 of 6 principals. That is 400 employees affected out of the school district’s total of about 634.

The total price tag on this salary increase is $685,505, which excludes the cafeteria workers, still reflected in the line items as a transfer of $27,010, Johns said.

“We are still short about $20,000 to achieve this. We are going to cover that variance through attrition and turnover that we have each year anyway among employees,” Johns said.

Option B would achieve all of the salary scale adjustments that the board discussed in some measure, Jones said.

The raise would not get assistant principals and principals close to the median salaries in the region for those positions, since many of them are still 25 percent below that number, Jones said, “but it is a way to provide them with a salary increase to get them closer to it.”

All of the other employees – teachers, cafeteria workers, teacher assistants, mechanics, drivers and nurses – would move to the median for this school year, he said.

“If other districts are giving raises as part of their 2015-2016 budget, we can’t account for that at this point. But it does at least get them to our goal of trying to get these employees up to the median average,” Jones said.

James Kunka, who represents District 2, asked if cafeteria managers were included in this increase.

They were not, but staff will provide information on what increasing their salaries would involve at the March 17 meeting, Jones said.

All five board members said they would support Option B. Rick Cole, District 1, said that while he supports the option, the

school board needs to keep in mind that many of the employees are non-instructional.

“I am not saying it is wrong. We just need to be aware of that because I am sure you are going to hear some comments from instructional people that they wish they’d have gotten more,” he said, Sammy Frame, District 4, said it felt like a step in the right direction to help those employees at the lower end of the scale, especially since the entire district had seen a 2 percent raise for the last two years.

Kunka agreed that while he values the teachers, he doesn’t want to treat any employees like “second class citizens.”

“I hope that everybody can look in their hearts, if they are one of the ones who are not getting money this cycle, and understand why and what we are doing here,” he said.

“Because we can be right back to much smaller course corrections in the future if we can accomplish this in one step.”

Health insurance changes Included in both budgets was a proposal to save employees money on health insurance.

The Group Health Insurance rate will increase by 4 percent, not 5 percent as expected, Johns said. The proposal would have the school board absorb the increased cost as an employer contribution instead of having the employees assume the increase.

This would increase the employer contribution to 82 percent on average, where the schools currently pay 80 percent, which in most cases is the minimum, Johns said.

That 82 percent is still lower than the county rate of a 90 percent contribution.

Cole said he is not in favor of any employees losing ground with their salaries. Especially with the employees not receiving a raise under Option B, the schools going to 82 percent contribution would make sure they didn’t lose money.

He said he would even like to see the schools contribution go as high as 85 percent, which Jones said staff would look into before the March 17 meeting.

Students stock the pantry Contributed Report

P

ocahontas Middle School recently spearheaded a food collection for Powhatan’s Ruby Leonard Food Pantry.

Reaching out to support families in need helps the school stay connected to the community.

Through the character education program, charity is the focal point each December.

“We saw a need and we have the ability to pay it forward. Our annual food drive is a special way to model the importance of charity and our students came through for us once again,” Dr. Lynn ClaytonPrince, principal, said.

All three Powhatan County elementary schools, along with Pocahontas Middle School, filled the shelves with canned items, paper products, pasta, baking goods and personal items. The grand total

in an extreme, difficult situation such as paying their electric bill, having food or getting heating oil when they run out in the dead of winter.

In her professional capacity, Vaughan was “passionate, dedicated and a force,” Pemberton said. At one point a few years ago, the funding stream for Vaughan’s program was in danger.

“Rovenia told me she would do the work without a paycheck if she had to. She was that devoted to it and that much of a proponent. She was committed to her program and to the people she served,” Pemberton said.

Gayzelle Taylor of Powhatan, a friend, said Vaughan didn’t seem capable of not trying to help people. If she wasn’t directly involved in something she was still doing research and looking at issues from the standpoint of fairness and equality.

“She constantly sent me something in the mail. She would do research on anything that she thought would help,” Taylor said.

Shortly before she died, Vaughan was concerned about the lack of housing in the county for people who are less fortunate, Taylor added.

The news of Vaughan’s passing is heartbreaking because she was so kind and selfless, Josephine Goodman of Powhatan said.

“She put others before herself and made a difference in the lives of many. She was a blessing and she will be missed,” said Goodman, who knew Vaughan most of her life.

She was very private and quiet person but she was always willing to help other people and put them before herself, Goodman added.

Vaughan’s strength in her office came from the fact she always listened and was there for people, even on nights and weekends, Carson Tucker, who represents District 5 on the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors, said.

She was a font of information on knowing how to connect people to the help they needed, whether it was making ends meet, finding a job or event getting to a job if they didn’t have transportation, Tucker said.

“At the same time she was tough. She didn’t allow people to take advantage of the system,” he said. “That is why we loved her so much. She had that balance between knowing that people were in distress and wanting to do everything in her power to help them, but at the same time, she was no pushover.”

Vaughan worked hard to keep the local chapter of the NAACP alive and connected to the community, Tucker said.

She worked to build a relationship with the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office to help parents and young people understand their rights and responsibilities regarding the law, he said.

She also wanted to do the right thing by the community and tried to “maintain good working relationships with all of the government officials at the local and state level and keep doors of communication wide open between the people and people in positions of authority.”

Del. Lee Ware, R-65, said that with Vaughan’s

collected was 5,762 items. So many items were contributed that the schools were able to stock Ruby Leonard to capacity and donate to a second food pantry.

Each year as items are collected to support local charities, students are given a challenge to see which homeroom class can top the others.

The classes with the highest totals were Pocahontas Elementary School, Deborah Putney’s class with 160 items; Powhatan Elementary School, Rebecca Cheatham’s class with 142 items; Flat Rock Elementary School, Molly Moss’ class with 356 items; and Pocahontas Middle School, Sandra Lambert’s class with 864 items.

The schools extended heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated items to help make a difference in the life of a local family. Cedar Tree Hunt Club delivered the items to the food pantry for the schools.Aperen-

passing, the community has lost a vigorous advocate for the needy, the disadvantaged, and “what our founders called ‘the better angels of our nature.’ ” Ware said it was his privilege to work with her on many issues across the years. She was tireless in her advocacy for the action agency and rightly earned statewide influence through her loyal labors on behalf of the NAACP, he said.

“An excellent example of her profound belief in equality of opportunity occurred just four years ago when she objected to a proposal to lower for Latino and AfricanAmerican students the standards of proficiency tests administered by the state Department of Education,” Ware said.

Vaughan, who at the time was acting education chairwoman for the Virginia NAACP, said that “lowering expectations is a detriment to any child’s educational progress and will have a negative impact on the lives of these children.” The declaration was, according to Ware, “vintage Rovenia.”

“We are the richer for Rovenia’s life, and my hope is that we cherish her legacy,” he said.

A viewing was held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17 at Marian Gray Thomas Funeral Home, 64 Cartersville Road, Cumberland.

A funeral for Vaughan will be held at 1 p.m.

Wednesday, March 18 at Powhatan Community Church. Interment Mount Calvary Baptist Church cemetery.

But it wasn’t until Harris was sitting next to her grandmother, Ann Barbera, who was dying of Alzheimer’s disease under hospice care, that she real-

Even in that sad moment, Harris said she was able to find reasons to smile. If that was possible, getting this message out might be possible, too, she said.

Barbera loved to give help in the community, and Harris tried to model her

week in Powhatan County Public Schools.

Wear a Smile, Share a Smile is a program Harris, a former Powhatan High School teacher, is holding from March 11 to 25 with different programs spread out at the county’s schools.

Harris looks on Powhatan as the pilot program, with a goal to roll out to schools across the nation soon to help combat what she sees as a pervasive problem with negativity today.

“Primarily our company is trying to battle the anger that is permeating society. We are trying to do that through something as simple as prompting people to smile, because 90 percent of the time people smile back,” she said.

While sharing that concept, the program also raises funds that are disseminated to the schools and community projects, Har-

ris said.

Harris started Wear a Smile, Share a Smile with her daughters, Jackie and Jessie. The idea was born three years ago when Harris heard her brother use that phrase.

“It is not about finances.

It is about the concept of seeing the good in everything,” she said.

Harris toyed with the idea for a few years, even writing a children’s book called “JJ’s Way to Start the Day” in summer 2012.

Officer forced to use taser on PJHS student

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN - A Powhatan County Sheriffs Office deputy was forced to use a taser on a disruptive student today, March 13, at Powhatan Junior High School. At about 12:15 p.m., an eighth-grader was being disruptive in the cafeteria, according to Anne Reyn-

Weiler said. At the time, the supervisors had not yet received an adopted schools budget from the Powhatan County School Board.

Within the proposed overall budget, the bulk of that is the roughly $47,499,440 in the general fund. The rest of the budget is made up of the social services fund ($1,369,230), Comprehensive Services Act fund ($1,751,200), the grants fund, which only accounts for the courthouse’s law library ($4,000), Fire and Rescue fund ($573,430), Supplemental Retirement Program (SRP) fund ($260,000), Capital Projects fund ($307,250), and the Utilities fund ($2,623,590).

Within the four Monday budget meetings, the supervisors are going more in depth into the budget and looking at the increases and decreases in line items that led to this year’s proposed amount.

The fiscal year budget may be found online at www.powhatanva.gov under the budget tab.

Some of the budget items discussed at the meeting include: Near the beginning of the budget presentation, Weiler pointed out the different funds that combine to make what is called the general fund. The fund balance as of July 1, 2014 was almost $13.9 million. The county is expecting to take in almost $49.7 million by June 30, 2015 into that account but spend $50.1 million.

Weiler explained that the supervisors amended the budget in October 2014 to use some of the county’s capital maintenance reserve for capital projects.

“That is why your expenditures are more than your revenues. That is a planned use of fund balance, specifically your capital maintenance reserve,” Weiler said. “All of that money was transferred to the capital projects fund.”

The county has kept the general fund balance above the 15 percent the board asked for, Weiler said. The $13.9 million

olds, the sheriff’s department crime analyst. The school resource officer, at the request of the school administration, escorted the 14-year-old male to the administrative office. While the officer and student were in the assistant principal’s office, the student continued to be disorderly and disruptive, she said.The 27-year veteran officer was attempting to arrest the student when the

student became combative and assaulted the deputy.

The student was attempting to flee the office area when, due to his violent behavior and repeated defiance of the officer’s commands, the SRO used his “conductive electrical weapon to subdue the student,” Reynolds said.

The teen was transported to a local medical facility as a precautionary

measure and was medically cleared, she said. His custodians and parent were immediately notified.

The student has been charged with one felony assault on an officer and two misdemeanor charges, she said.

No further information will be released at this time.

general fund balance was 20.1 percent of the next year’s operating budget, so by an unwritten policy of the board, the money over that amount is transferred to the capital maintenance reserve.

The estimated balance of the capital maintenance reserve as of June 30, 2015 is expected to be $2,656,793, Weiler said.

When the board looks at the Capital Improvement Program, county staff will recommend spending some of that amount on capital projects.

In reviewing the expected fiscal year 2016 projected revenues, Schubert told the board the county is expecting a roughly $1.8 million increase in revenues. A good portion of the increase in that figure came from an estimated $344,400 more in real estate taxes due to new construction and $596,960 overall in total personal property taxes.

Within the personal property tax revenue loss amount the county figured in a decrease of about $17,780 for disabled veterans and $12,400 for volunteer fire and rescue squad workers.

Staff proposed a decrease on volunteers’ property tax rate at least on the vehicles they use to respond to calls so it is almost negligible, Weiler said. Since the same rate has always been given to that group and to disabled veterans, county staff recommended changing the vets’ rate as well.

In a later discussion, on the issue, Weiler said the reduction for the fire and rescue volunteers is an incentive for retention and an additional recruitment tool. The volunteers who are eligible are determined by the volunteer chiefs.

The county is recommending a roughly 20.6 percent increase for water and 20 percent for sewer commodity rates to cover the cost of Powhatan’s increase from Chesterfield County, Schubert said.

It is a large increase, Weiler said, but the county will probably have to continue to raise the rates so consumers are eventually paying for the water and sewer.

“It should not be borne by the taxpayers,” she said.

David Williams, who represents District 1, brought up a point that Weiler had previously made in her overview PowerPoint presentation to the board about the budget.

The county’s utilities funds has revenues of $2.6 million, but almost $2.2 million of that comes from the general fund, which is “huge,” he said.

“What I want to do is learn from our mistakes that we have made in the past so going forward we don’t repeat those mistakes,” he said. “I am looking at things that are going to remediate our situation that we find ourselves in today. That is my focus. I want to look at all options.”

He asked for the county to look into possible policies that could help, which Weiler said staff members already are doing.

Barry Hodge, District 3, agreed on being interested in a policy and added he wanted to look at other options as well, including privatization.

The county’s grants fund, which only accounts for the courthouse’s law library, was separated out of the general fund, where it was accounted for in fiscal year 2015, Weiler said. The county is expecting to bring in about $4,000 a year in fees from the law library, so it was made into its own fund.

The new SRP fund was created to handle the money for the program the supervisors took over in 2014. In the budget packet, the operating budget shows $280,950 going into the fund in fiscal year 2014. At that time the SRP fund was controlled by the schools, Weiler said.

“It didn’t have a budget. It was budgeted in the schools operating fund,” she said.

The board of supervisors had appropriated $280,000 for fiscal year 2015. County staff expects the actual cost will be closer to $265,000, which comes from the schools’ budget. The fiscal year 2016 budget has a recommended payment of $260,000 that will go directly into the account and be all that is needed to fund the SRP through the rest of its life, she said.

Weiler walked the board through the different departments, pointing out any changes or shifting in line items and answering questions the supervisors had about the accounts. There were many that had little or no changes or only shifted line items around to different headings.

Fiscal year 2015 was the first year human resources was moved out of the finance department and into its own budget, she said. For fiscal year 2016, she proposed increases for COBRA administration fees ($750), random drug testing the board requested ($600), and training for the employees regarding certain certifications ($2,750 up from $1,000).

The finance department proposed budget has $7,600 in overall increases, including $2,000 more for an external audit and $5,000 more for professional services.

The information technology department has increases for the maintenance/service contracts (up $5,000), telephone system (up $2,000) and the lease payment for a computer system with interest (up $10,260).

The commissioner of the revenue office had a $20,860 overall reduction, which include a $17,090 decrease tied to personnel and deceases with maintenance/service contracts, postage and other operating supplies.

However, the commissioner, Jamie Timberlake, will be requesting $13,500 to increase the salaries of employees who have completed their master certifications. That request was not included in the proposed budget, Weiler said.

Tax relief for the elderly goes up by $13,000 but has an offsetting revenue that also increases by that amount, so it is a wash to the budget, Weiler said.

The budget for the county’s electoral board and registrar has an $8,000 increase in its elections line items to account for three, not two elections, which has been the trend in recent years, Weiler said. Despite that and other increases, a one-time $14,000 expenditure on computer equipment in fiscal year 2015 means the proposed budget for fiscal year 2016 is lower overall.

The facilities department pays the operating costs of all county buildings except Company 1 and 2 fire stations, she said.

County staff is bringing a policy forward to the board for on-call employees. The public

works staff is currently required to be on call but they are not reimbursed for it.

A new policy allocates $8,500 used for small stipends on those days employees are on call, she said. On call staff can leave their homes but face restrictions on travel or activities that would impair their ability to work during that time.

The county needs to increase expenditures at Company 1 fire station because it is not budgeting what it needs to in the maintenance/service contracts and cleaning services. That represents a $6,780 increase.

A $13,000 increase at the Huguenot Public Safety Building was made up of costs associated with trash removal (up $3,000), maintenance/service contracts (up $5,000) and electricity (up $5,000).

The building, which opened in fiscal year 2012, now has items falling off of warranty for maintenance/service contracts so the county will have a more accurate understanding of its overall costs moving forward, Weiler said.

The board had a discussion on the building’s proposed $19,000 electricity bill. The building has one large air unit that services the whole building 24 hours a day, which might be part of the high bill.

The county shifted several budgets around last year so that it could account for things in divisions that staff thought made more sense or that gave more information than in the past, Weiler said.

This is the county’s first year having a budget for grounds and parks, which is all grounds except athletic fields. Athletic fields has its own budget, which is important as staff try to work up a potential recommendation that it charges for their use.

“If you are going to charge for athletic fields you should know what you are spending on athletic fields to have some basis for that charge. Potentially we are working toward that in the future,” Weiler said.

Under the recreation budget, Weiler pointed out Mary Anne Woodel, recreation coordinator, has spent most of her time scheduling ball fields, working with the leagues that use them and looking at possible policies and fee schedules.

She has not offered many programs yet because staff told her the first priority was to get athletic league policies in place, Weiler said.

Williams suggested when she does start focusing more on programming she look for opportunities to partner with other organizations to complement each other, not create competing programs.

Woodel talked about her efforts to bring tournaments to the county.

Within the utilities department, the county wants to add a position that will do miss utility in addition to other duties. The county is required to have a utility locator, either on staff or a contractor, that can respond 24 hours a day. This is especially tied to a trend in new housing.

Miss utility is a service the county currently pays a contractor to do, and it is getting to the point the contractor is being paid almost the amount of a full-time position, Weiler said.

“If we bring that in house, not only will we be able to do miss utility but we will also have time for the person to do meter reading and maintenance on the lines,” she said.

There are also several other significant changes, both increases and decreases, that balanced out the overall proposed utilities department budget, which is slightly over $2.6 million. It is a $54,990 increase over fiscal year 2015.

The board’s past practice was to have $100,000 in the contingency fund. In fiscal year 2015 it was at $273,318, which was high. Staff is recommending bringing it back down to $100,000 and using the rest of the money for a bus lease Weiler will go into more at a later date.

Contingency at $100,000 should be sufficient because the sheriff’s department was the one that used it most at year end to fund overtime, Weiler said.

“We are recommending that you are going to budget for sheriff’s overtime, so we don’t see that you are going to have to use that out of contingency,” she said.

WILSON, Merwyn Leake, 78, of Powhatan and formerly of Richmond passed away on Saturday, March 7, 2015. He was preceded in death by his youngest son, Brady Neal Wilson in 1995.

Merwyn is survived by his wife of 59 years, Beverley Mitchell Wilson; daughter and sonin-law, Kay Wilson and Timothy Davis; son and Wilson daughter-in-law, Todd Wilson and Karen; three grandchildren, Andrew Rudiger (Courtney), Jordan Wilson and Camden Wilson; one great-grandchild, Jace Rudiger, and sister and brother-in-law, Shirley Irby and Ernest. Merwyn was a Master Craftsman in refractory brickwork, working and owning his business for 44 years, and was a Master Mason of the Westhampton Masonic Lodge #302 AF&AM. He also served his country with the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. As a final testament to his generosity for others, Merwyn donated his body to Life Net Health. Merwyn enjoyed staying at his place in Nags Head, fishing and spending time with and supporting his family and friends. The family received family and friends on Saturday, March 14 at Huguenot Chapel, Woody Funeral Home, followed by a memorial service. Services were conducted by his brother-in-law, Ernest B. Irby.

to launch the program in Powhatan because it is where she lives and can hopefully watch it make a difference.

Friends and family at different places around the country have made connections with their local schools, who are interested in trying Wear a Smile, Share a Smile. After Harris watches how the program works in Powhatan, she will roll it out to those other schools.

“I think society is so angry and I want to help. I know we can make a difference morally, with people’s attitudes and financially,” she said. “Quite honestly you are battling the cynicism of the public.”

When Harris talked to Powhatan school officials about her program, they were receptive because of her track record of leadership and volunteerism in the schools and the community, Eric Jones, superintendent of Powhatan schools, said.

“It sounded like it dovetailed nicely with what we currently do in the areas of character education and the message of anti-bullying we have been trying to get out as much as we can,” he said.

Schools spend a great deal of time teaching academics and how to access information, Jones said. But part of what schools should help instill in students relates to the “heart and emotional wellbeing.”

“This program is one I think in a very simple but also profound way can help in terms of character education and being a better person, which I think is also a responsibility of a school system,” Jones said.

Wear a Smile, Share a Smile has a few different components.

The book about JJ the sea snail, which Harris published in February and sells for $9, is one part.

With Powhatan schools, she incorporated the book in ways such as having Interact Club members from Powhatan High School read it to younger students at the other schools. They used the book as a jumping off point for a discussion on why students and educators should smile.

Sara Rogan, a senior, was one of 13 high schoolers who split up and read the book to different classes at Pocahontas Middle School on March 11. She read JJ’s tale to Jill Long’s sixth grade English and history class.

In a discussion after reading the book, one of the topics she focused on was how comfortable the students felt about smiling to people, especially strangers. Most raised their hands to say they are hesitant to make that gesture.

“Just think, if everybody in here is scared, think about what everybody else out there is feeling,” she said.

Tracie Ingle, English instructional specialist, tagged along with the Interact Club to read to the middle schoolers and was thoroughly impressed, she said.

As she read the book to the class she was assigned to, she said many students couldn’t help but smile.

Hopefully they will appreciate the message behind Wear a Smile, Share a Smile and it will become contagious, she said.

“When students come in with a positive attitude, they can be more successful,” Ingle said. “I think that can affect them socially and academically.”

Harris isn’t only interested in one-off events though. Motivational speakers come into schools and businesses all the time and get people fired up, but as time and the distractions of life do their things, people often revert to old ways.

To help remind students that wearing a smile should be a daily ritual, Harris introduced the concept of plastic bracelets that say “Wear a Smile, Share a Smile.” The bracelets are meant to remind people of the power of a smile on a daily basis.

The bracelets are also a fundraising opportunity for the program and the schools, Harris said. Schools sell them for $2 and keep $1 of the profits. She keeps about 20 to 30 percent of the other dollar for operational costs – there are no salaries – and puts the rest back into small community projects and needs.

If schools raise enough, Harris also wants to put part of the proceeds toward scholarships for that school district.

Week promotes open government

By Laura McFarland News Editor

It didn’t take a meteorologist to know it was going to be sunny this week.

This isn’t a signal to put away your snow boots and umbrellas and break out the shorts, although wouldn’t that be lovely?! We will leave the weather predictions to Punxsutawney Phil.

The sunshine referenced here is of the metaphorical variety – a nod to the fact that March 15 to 21 is Sunshine Week.

The national initiative aims to promote a dialogue about the importance of open government and freedom of information.

The idea is simple: Open government works best when information is easily accessible and understandable.

News media outlets love Sunshine Week for obvious reasons, but it also is a week celebrated by civic groups, libraries, nonprofits, schools and others interested in the public’s right to know.

Whether or not you like it, what the government does touches many aspects of your life in some way – whether it is the ordinances that dictate everything from the size of the numbers on your mailbox to how and where you can build a home, the sales tax reflected at the bottom of your grocery receipt or the amount of your paycheck that goes to fund various local, state and federal programs.

Those are examples, not potential diatribes. And this publication is not jumping out and taking a

stance on whether the government should have more or less power.

That is not what Sunshine Week is about.

Launched by the American Society of News Editors in March 2005, this initiative is about the public’s right to know what its government is doing and why.

It is built around the March 16 birthday of James Madison, who, among his many accomplishments. could name writing the first drafts of the U.S. Constitution and sponsoring the Bill of Rights.

Sunshine Week seeks to “enlighten and empower people to play an active role in their government at all levels, and to give them access to information that makes their lives better and their communities stronger,” according to the national event’s website.

It is about creating a public dialogue and hopefully encouraging more people to take an interest in what officials are doing in their names. Because, make no mistake about it, when an elected official representing your district, county or state casts a vote, they are doing it in your name. Don’t you want to know, and have a say, in what is being done in your name?!

The Powhatan Today seeks to do that with every issue. There is a reason that the stories on the county’s board of supervisors and school board meetings are so involved. There is often more to an issue than the final vote, which is why it is important to hear what the elected officials have to say in their own words.

There are so many ways people can embrace the

idea behind Sunshine Week, the easiest being to attend government meetings or call county employees and county and state elected officials to seek more information and voice your opinion. Members of both local boards have been very vocal in recent months on calling for transparency in all their dealings and welcoming more input from residents holding them accountable to that promise.

Nicely timed this month, the county is holding two public meetings tied to a project to develop an economic development plan for Powhatan. The meetings will be held at 7 p.m. on March 19 at Powhatan High School and at 7 p.m. on March 24 at the Village Building.

While not actually a Sunshine Week event, people are encouraged to come talk about Powhatan – the good, the bad and the ugly – to have more of a say in its future.

March Altman, deputy county administrator, pointed out a few weeks ago that he was interested to hear the (anonymous) comments that would come out of the community meetings because he wants to hear what people like and don’t like about Powhatan County, especially what they think of the way government is being operated.

Having truly open government is a work in progress but it is an attainable goal. The most important thing to remember is that making it happen is only reachable if the media and citizens like you continue to demand to stay informed and have a government that lives up to promises of transparency and inclusiveness.

Quick look at 2015 General Assembly

By Del. Lee Ware Special to Powhatan Today

Solid accomplishments on each of state government’s core responsibilities marked this year’s “short” session of General Assembly.

We balanced the budget – as required by the Virginia Constitution – at $1 billion less for the general fund than the original 2014-2016 budget adopted last year. The reduction reflects the continuing effects of the sluggish economy both within Virginia and across the country. We also eliminated $33 million in debt, rejected $11 million in fee-increases proposed by Governor Terry McAuliffe, held firm against the proposed expansion of “Obamacare,” and invested in public education, higher education and public safety, while targeting funds to be spent for transportation.

There are several budgetary highlights that came out of the short session.

Under taxes and spending, the legislature enacted no new taxes; funded a 1.5 percent increase for public school teachers along with funds for professional development; assigned $40 million in additional funding for the teachers’ retirement fund to bring the total for the biennium to $190 million; reformed the Standards of Learning (SOL) “retake process” for all students at all grade levels; required Virginia’s colleges to develop a means of granting credits to incoming high-school students who have completed Advanced Placement course and passed legislation to block the executive branch from unilaterally imposing the proposed federal “Common Core” curriculum on Virginia’s schools.

They also increased support for higher education by $42 million, in-

cluding funding for 2,100 more in-state students’ admissions and $10.1 million more in student financial aid; gave colleges incentives to offer a “Flat-Fee Degree” or discounted tuition for students seeking degrees for employment in high-demand professions, and allotted $99.5 million for the “Rainy Day Fund,” which by 2017 will be back to roughly $400 million.

The Virginia State Police bore the brunt of drastic budget cuts in recent years. We began to redress that with a 1.5 percent pay increase for state police (as well as all state employees), $4 million to rollback previous cuts and a 2 percent pay increase for state-supported local employees.

The General Assembly adopted reforms to ensure that 40 percent of funding for transportation projects is devoted to infrastructure repairs, especially bridges and pavements; 30 percent to localities for local projects, and 30 percent for crucial statewide projects.

Also, we appropriated $124.5 million for healthcare “safety net” programs to assist 29,000 seriously mentally ill Virginians, and $6 million for operational funding for free clinic services, which nearly doubles the previous figure.

My own work this Session was necessarily focused on my duties as chairman of the finance committee of the House, where costly proposals for tax increases and more spending – at a time when our economy remains fragile – were defeated.

Two issues generated the most debate in the House this year. A House Joint Resolutions (HJR) calling for a Convention of States to compel the federal Congress to balance its budget, drew statewide attention and participation but fell just short of a majority of pledged votes.

Dominion Power sought – and gained – legislation to exempt the company from oversight of the State Corporation Commission (SCC) for the next five years, in exchange freezing the base-rate charged to Dominion customers for electricity service. My objection is that the SCC exists to oversee public utilities, so that an exception spanning a full half-decade, while perhaps freezing rates for a while, could be followed by a sharp rise in charges.

I introduced 14 bills and two study resolutions, one of which, the longterm effects of the application to lands of industrial waste, was a high priority for both Goochland and Powhatan counties. In the end, my insistence on a leading role for the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences (VIMS) at William & Mary was rejected by the Senate, which preferred a leading role for Virginia Tech (and other agencies favorable to sludge-producing industries).

Accordingly, I declined to yield, believing that no study would be better than a study weighted against our citizens’ and counties’ concerns. So both my resolution and a senator’s resolution were tabled.

My other principal legislation was approved, including House Bills (HB) 1286, to allow citizens to receive state income tax refunds by check rather than debit card; HB1444, to enhance insurance coverage for services provided by optometrists, ophthalmologists and some opticians; and HB1475, to encourage expansion of natural and propane gas services to prospective customers.

My HB1329, to allow reciprocal recognition of other states’ concealed carry permits, passed the House 65-35 and the Senate, 29-9, but was derailed by a last-minute insistence by state police that implementation costs would

be prohibitive.

My HB 1828 protected the Land Conservation Tax Credits program by lowering the total amount of credits to be issued each year.

As usual, hundreds of constituents sent me emails, regular mail, called by ‘phone, or were able to come by the General Assembly Building for a personal visit. Every message was reviewed and taken into account as my votes were cast.

Our counties were diligent in advancing their respective interests, as well. Commissioner of the Revenue Jamie Timberlake made his annual appearance, county administrator Pat Weiler was regularly in touch on behalf of Powhatan’s boards and new District 2 Supervisor Larry Nordvig spent an entire day with me for session.

Powhatan Farm Bureau president Max Timberlake also ably advanced his organization’s interests.

An especially large contingent of constituents participated in the Powhatan Leadership Institute class of 2014. We were able to allow for a full hour together to discuss the process by which a bill makes its way through committee to either passage or dismissal as well as attending a committee to witness the dialogue and debate by which every side of an issue is given voice.

The General Assembly returns to Richmond on April 15 for the one-day veto session in response to any actions on our legislation by the governor.

Now I look forward to seeing constituents at numerous civic groups’ meetings already scheduled.

Del. Lee Ware represents the 65th House District consisting of Powhatan, western Goochland, southwestern Chesterfield and eastern Fluvanna counties.

Katherine Atherton, Rachael and Claire Bailey, Allison Hines, Alexa Macaulay, Maggie Phipps, Emily Popp, Hugh Turner, Allison VanInwegen, Marran Van Sickle and Isabel Waldbauer all participated with great success.

In addition to the CHSA and VHSA Associate shows, Level Green currently has two riding teams participating in the American Interschool Riding Competition, competing against other riding schools in Central and Northern Virginia.

Twice a year, spring and fall, the school hosts Calais Horse Trials, a one-day, threephase competition consisting of dressage, stadium jumping and cross country. Riders from all over Virginia come to compete.

The school also has a day camp for children ages 7 to 16 during spring break and summer. For more information, go to www.levelgreenriding.com.

The riding school is owned by Pat and Jon Betts and their daughters Yvonne Holliday, Fiona Turner, and Emily Betts, who are looking forward to another great year in 2015.

Conway: A state champion, a budding legend Powhatan High School senior track and field superstar Austin Conway has expanded his already Ruthian personal legend over the last 10 days. On March 10, he became the first indoor track state champion in school history.

Three days later, he broke the school record in the 800M at a national meet in New York City. These accomplishments, added to the six school records he already holds, prompted his coach, Greg Whisler, to call him the “best” he has ever coached “without question.”

“Then I texted my friend, Mason [Sylvia], who had been watching a live stream of the event online.

Then I texted coach [Greg] Whisler.”

Not that rewriting the record books is all that shocking of an accomplishment for Conway.

He’s done it many times before. The 800m title is just the latest title in an ever-expanding collection that includes school records in the 300m, the 1000m, the 1500m, the 1600m, the 3200m, and the 5000m. Conway’s knack for collecting lofty achievements like lightning bugs has led Whisler to place him atop the pantheon of elite runners from teams past.

“Without question he is the best,” he said. “Not just because he holds all the school distance running records, but because he has progressed and he always performs at the top of his current potential.”

Pushing to consistently achieve new personal high ground is something that seems to come natural for Conway, an easy-talking California transplant who has blossomed into perhaps the greatest runner Powhatan High School has ever seen. Whisler says Conway is a master at see CONWAY page 4B

Team Nathan comes through, despite gray St. Patty’s Day PHS baseball team volunteers at Shamrock 5K to raise money for TBI awareness

By Mike Schoeffel Sports Writer

St. Patrick’s Day may have been more gray than green this year, but that didn’t stop Team Nathan from coming together to raise some money for a good cause at the annual Shamrock 5K at Westchester Commons.

For the second consecutive year, Team Nathan, a 30-person unit consisting mostly of Powhatan High School baseball players, won the biggest team challenge and the subsequent $500 prize.

Last year, at the conclusion of Team Nathan’s inaugural appearance at the race, the money went to the family of Nathan Martin, an 8-year old Powhatan resident who suffers from severe issues stemming from a serious brain injury.

This year, in what team organizer Mike Puglia called a “pay-itforward” initiative, the money will be given to another individual who suffers from the debilitating effects of a serious head injury.

“People are still just catching onto brain injury awareness and how traumatic these injuries have the potential of being,” he said. “Thankfully, people are becoming more educated about it.

To be able to raise money for a family in need,

McMillin a state champion

Blackhawk wrestling places 11th in state out of 108 teams Contributed Report

The Powhatan youth wrestling club recently completed another successful season, one that began last November and culminated in the Virginia/USA Wrestling Youth State Championships on March 7.

Over 1,000 youth wrestlers representing 108 teams from around the state competed in the event. Powhatan placed 11th overall, powered by J.D McMillin, who placed first in the 97pound division. Other Powhatan wrestlers who finished within the top three of their respective weight class were Colby Cheatham (second) and Simeon Holmes (second).

The majority of teams at the event were from youth clubs similar to Powhatan youth wrestling. Teams that rank within the top 30 in the state participate in middle school approved programs. Most of these elite clubs practice and train five days a week and routinely wrestle in national events.

Powhatan youth wrestling, also known as Blackhawk, practices two days a week, hold-

ing clinics and camps throughout the season.

Coaches, wrestlers, and parents logged many miles in travel this season, and the whole crew headed into state championship weekend with high expectations. At its conclusion, the coaching staff and community agreed that the young wrestlers really made a showing for the selves.

The Powhatan youth wrestling team was led by its top 8th graders: McMillin and Cheatham. The duo will move on to compete with the Powhatan High School team next season. McMillin became the second Blackhawk state champion in as many years, capturing a title in the 97-pound weight class. The coaches at Blackhawk expect great things from McMillin when he moves up to the next level later this year.

Cheatham also had a great showing, battling hard to take second place in the state in the 111-pound division.

With McMillin and Cheatham entering the high school program next year, there is no doubt they will continue to grow and prove to be valuable assets for the wrestling program.

Powhatan youth wrestling placed 11th overall by beating many of the top clubs and teams in the state. This accomplishment is direct result

Bella Day, Blackhawk’s lone female

wrestler, placed second in the War of the Roses East Coast Female Nationals on March 8th, 2015. This was Day’s first year wrestling, and she put in a lot of hard work throughout the season, training with her male teammates and capturing some good victories along the way.

Knights’ lack of field time pays dividends in season opener Tidewater Academy mercy rules Knights 11-1 in chilly first game

By Mike Schoeffel Sports Writer

When the Blessed Sacrament varsity baseball team took the field at Tidewater Academy for its regular season opener on Friday, March 13, they were stepping onto the diamond for the first time in 2015.

Weeks of snow and rain left the Knights’ home field saturated and unplayable, driving the team into the gymnasium to throw with one another from short distances and take swings in a batting cage — both of which are poor substitutes for live, on-field action, as head coach James Poore pointed out.

The Knights’ utter lack of field time gave the game the feel of a scrimmage.

They walked nine batters, ran through six pitchers, made five errors, and fell 11-1 in a mercy rule short-

ened affair that ended in the bottom of the sixth. Tidewater had only four hits in the victory “Flags in football, turnovers in basketball, and errors and walks in baseball,” said Poore. “Those will kill you.”

The Knights made three errors in the first inning alone, leading to three Tidewater runs. Two of those runs came on a Hunter Buhls home run to left center. Buhls finished the day 2-of-3 with 4 RBI. The Warriors tacked on four more runs in the bot-

tom of the second, despite failing to get a hit in the inning.

Trailing by seven in the top of the third, Blessed Sacrament mounted its best rally of the game. Trey Gregg and Ryan Cray walked, and Ryan Davoud was hit with a pitch to load the bases for James Heldmann. He walked, too, bringing home Gregg for the Knights first run of the season, and only run of the game. The Knights managed only two base runners over the final three innings.

Left-handed Coleman Smith, who Poore expects

to be the ace this season, got the start for Blessed Sacrament. Though he gave up only one hit, he was pulled after 1 2/3 innings because shaky defense allowed five runs.

Only one of Coleman’s runs was earned.

Smith was the first pitcher in a rotating cast of arms that saw action on the day. Mason Turner, Zach Buono, Phil Wood, Stuart Howard, and C.J. Filipkowski also took the hill, in that order. The decision to throw so many pitchers was a conscious one by Poore. He said he wanted to get a feel for what he will

be working with this season, considering he hasn’t seen any of his players throw from a mound this preseason, “I wanted to see what everybody could do today, on a real field and in real game situations,” he said.

“That was the main reason I threw so many pitchers.”

The Knights had home games scheduled for March 16 and 17, though Poore wasn’t optimistic that the field would be ready in time.

“We might be hardpressed to get on the field next week,” he said. “It’s in pretty bad shape.”

Maiolo off to scorching start at Macon Preseason AllAmerican starts 2015 how he ended 2014 – on a hot streak

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Division III preseason All-American Nick Maiolo, who plays catcher for the Randolph-Macon College baseball team, has gotten off to a productive start in 2015. Through the Yellow Jackets first nine games, Maiolo is hitting .433 with 13 hits and 13 RBI, all of which are team highs. He recently suffered a minor injury that is expected to keep him out of the lineup for a week or two.

As of March 12, Maiolo is first on the team in runs batted in (13), hits (13), and home runs (1).

He’s second in batting average (.433) and doubles (3). The junior has started at catcher in eight of the Yellow Jackets’ 10 games,

and his numbers rank favorably within the wider context of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. He’s first in runs batted in, tied for second in hits, 10th in batting average, and tied for sixth in doubles.

Last season was a breakout year for Powhatan High School graduate and current Randolph-Macon baseball standout Nick Maiolo.

Maiolo, a catcher and designated hitter, was lavished with postseason awards (including a selection to the Division III All-American team) after an elite sophomore season. If the beginning of 2015 is any indication, Maiolo has every intention of making this season equally as memorable.

Luke Scherzer, who won a state championship with the Powhatan High School baseball team in 2012, has been one of Virginia Tech’s best relievers over the past two seasons. This year, his ERA over 12 innings of work is 1.50.

Former Indian posts sub-2.00 ERA through first 18 games

By Mike Schoeffel Sports Writer

By the looks of it, Powhatan High School graduate Luke Scherzer has no intention of falling into a slump during his sophomore season.

Coming off a year in which he became only the second true freshman in school history to lead the team in saves, Scherzer, Virginia Tech’s closer, has seemingly upped his game to new heights.

As of March 14, his ERA was a miniscule 1.50, and he led all Hokies relievers with three saves.

Perhaps Scherzer’s biggest statistical improvement in his sophomore season is his strikeout ratio. In 2014, Scherzer averaged approximately six strikeouts per

nine innings. In 2015, Scherzer is striking out about 13 batters per nine innings - far and away the highest ratio on the team.

During the weekend of March 13, the Hokies hosted top-ranked Virginia in a three game set. It was Tech’s first home series against an Atlantic Coast Conference team. Though heavy underdogs, the Hokies took the first two games of the series, with Scherzer notching a save during the game on Saturday. The series kicked off a 10-game

This week in Powhatan sports history From the March 19, 2003 edition The Powhatan varsity soccer team overcomes a 1-0 halftime deficit to defeat perennial power Spotsylvania by a 2-1 final. The game was tied late in the second half when the Indians’ Mark Benusa took a soft shot on net. It seemed like an easy stop for Spotsylvania goalie Scott Brann, but the ball rolled between his legs for what eventually became the game-winning goal.

From the March 18, 2009 edition Powhatan High School graduate Kyle Gillenwater is promoted to defensive coordinator for the James Madison University football team. Gillenwater spent 10 years as the Dukes’ linebackers coach before earning the promotion. Powhatan High School football head coach Jim Woodson calls Gillenwater “very savvy, way ahead in football knowledge. A very intelligent young man with good leadership skills.”

home stand that will conclude on March 24 against East Tennessee State.

The 10-game stretch will prove pivotal for the Hokies, as they entered Sunday, March 15 with a 99 record. Six of the 10 games will come against ACC foes (Virginia and Clemson) and two will be against in-state rivals (Radford and Liberty), a truth that adds emphasis to an already crucial string of games.

coach Clint Meyers.

“She’s worked hard all fall and into this spring and has started to understand exactly how she needs to pitch. She gives us a lefty arm that allows us to have some options that we didn’t have last year. She can start and come out of the bullpen and be lights out.”

Combined with fellow pitcher Lexi Davis, the Tigers’ staff has become a seemingly unstoppable force that has stormed through nonconference play this winter.

“Right now, she’s

throwing like we would expect her to throw and she’s a big asset to us,” said Meyers. “If she continues to work hard, she’s going to be an important pitcher for us down the stretch and she knows that. She’s got the right mindset.”

As of March 11, the Tigers had won 11 games by mercy rule.

The most impressive victory out of that collection of blowouts is a likely a 20-2 demolition of then-13th ranked Arizona. Walters was on the mound for that game, throwing all five innings, striking out two, and allowing only

four hits. During their run of terror, the Tigers have beaten two teams ranked in the top 25: the aforementioned Arizona State, and 22nd ranked Arizona State.

Walters and the Tigers opened conference play on March 14 at Ole Miss. Starting on that date and ending on May 3, Auburn will play 28 games, mostly against SEC opponents, but with a few dates with non-conference opponents (Florida State, University of AlabamaBirmingham, and Samford) sprinkled in the see STAR page 4B

sky threatened rain, he cracked a smile and reflected on what he considered a productive day. “It feels good that everyone came out here,� he said. “The players are still getting to know each other, and even though the weather wasn’t the greatest, we bonded as a team and supported a good cause with Nathan.�

Martin’s story is harrowing, on-going.

In the fall of 2012, a then 6-year old Martin suffered two concussions within a short period time, ushering in a slow mental decline that included piercing headaches and cognitive atrophy. He was pulled from school and off the baseball diamond. Though he was allowed to return to the field for a brief spell last season, he was pulled again after his symptoms returned.

Nearly three years later, Martin’s issues still

But communitydriven initiatives like the one on March 14 inspire gratitude and hope within the Martin family. “It means so much to us and Nathan,� said Nathan’s mother, Krista Collier-Martin. “It makes him feel so special and makes him work toward getting better. He’s had a lot of support from the baseball team and it’s re-

ally made a difference.

We’re very grateful.�

For Puglia, a dedicated advocate of brain injury awareness, seeing the baseball team come together in a show of solidarity for a cause that he is passionate about was the highlight of the day. “It’s tough to go through what Nathan went through – and is still going through,� he

added. “So to have the baseball team come out and cheer him on and be a part of something that is uplifting to him is very cool.� “The money is a plus,� he added. “But 20 years from now the kids won’t remember how much we raised. They’ll remember that time Powhatan baseball came out and made Nathan feel important.�

Business casual is the standard for work In today’s economic climate, there are more job applicants than there are jobs. Landing or keeping a job with so much stiff competition means employees must take the necessary steps to ensure they’re a viable part of the company.

Dressing the part may seem inconsequential, but it can say much about how seriously you take your work.

A business casual dress code is standard across much of the white-collar business world. It has supplanted formal attire, sometimes called international standard business attire, in most companies. In the U.S., roughly 45 percent of employees arrive to work in business casual clothing. Still, many are not quite sure what constitutes business casual wear.

Business casual clothing is neat, professional and classic. Although not a uniform, this type of attire helps to keep workers uniformly dressed in tailored and comfortable clothing.

For men and women, khaki or dark-colored slacks are customary; women may choose to wear conservative skirts that are not too short. Pressed, long-sleeved, buttoned solid shirts are safe bets for both men and women. Short sleeves are customary during the warmer weather. Some companies allow collared polo shirts or golf Ts. Informal dresses for women and sweaters are also acceptable.

Women should avoid baring too much cleavage, which can be viewed as sexually forward.

With both genders, clothing should fit well but not be too tight or suggestive. Depending on the organization, shoes should be closedtoe and modest.

Many companies institute “casual Friday” attire, which is a variation on business casual by allowing jeans or sneakers to be worn.

However, even on casual days, most companies frown upon wrinkled, ripped, too trendy, or revealing types of jeans. Shorts are often frowned upon as well. If women will be wearing dresses, spaghetti straps should be avoided in favor of thicker tank top straps or capped sleeves in warmer weather. Flip-flops and other flimsy sandals also should be reconsidered.

In terms of accessories and jewelry, less is often more when complementing business casual attire. Avoid flashy items or pieces that may distract or inspire envy. The work environment is not a fashion runway, and dressing to stand out could make others feel intimidated.

METRO

Not all companies employ the same rules and regulations concerning wardrobe. For those who are new to a company, it’s best to stick with conservative business casual basics and then observe what others are wearing.

Keep in mind that attire worn by supervisors or business owners may not be what employees are allowed to wear. Just because the CEOis donning jeans and a T-shirt every day doesn’t mean it is acceptable for you. When in doubt, ask human resources or a personnel director if there are attire guidelines. Fellow employees whom you trust can also lend advice.

It is always a safer bet to err on the side of conservative in any business environment unless you definitely know their wardrobe policies.

Office productivity gets personalized cubes

S

ince its inception around 40 years ago, the cubicle has been a mainstay of office decor. Love it or loathe it, many companies still employ the segregated design of cubicles to outfit their buildings and provide a measure of personal space for employees.

Before the advent of cubicles, most office workers were lined up rather rigidly in desks in one open space. Those who held higher positions in the organization may have had a private office. Robert Probst, a research director at the home-furnishings company Herman Miller in Zeeland, Mich., came up with the concept of the “Action Office” in the late 1960s.

His system was designed to increase productivity of workers.

It consisted of a variety of work surfaces and shelves that could display paperwork and other work items. This was before the desktop computer became an essential element of offices across the globe. Partitions were part of the design, offering some semblance of privacy and a place to post work in progress. Desks varied in height so that workers could stand up and stretch while working.

In theory, the Action Office had merit, but soon plain old economics changed cubicles into what they would become -inexpensive means of housing employees in a relatively small amount of space.

To stimulate business spending in the 1960s, the United States Treasury established new rules for depreciating assets.

They stated that offices with permanent structures depreci-

METRO

ated after 39.5 years. Office furniture would depreciate — and need to be replaced —in just seven years. Therefore, a company could recover costs faster if it purchased a cubicle-type system, and this factor quickly became a new selling point for

Probst’s Action Office systems. Probst’s original design was meant to be flexible and moveable. But cubicles, once erected, rarely moved. And soon companies packed them into whatever space they had.

Although there have been uprisings to thwart the cubicle lifestyle within the office environment — most unsuccessful — one of the more recent threats to cubicle life is the growing popularity of working from home or from other areas, such as coffee shops or areas with WiFi service. Some office cubicles remain vacant most of the week thanks to mobile technology and flexible bosses who allow work to get done anywhere as long as productivity is not sacrificed.

For those who still spend considerable time inside of a cubicle, here are some suggestions for making it your own.

Add small decor touches, like a landscape photo or a portrait of your family.

Put up diplomas or certificates of merit, especially if customers or clients will be visiting you at your cubicle.

Plants can boost your mood and add a bit of life and color to the office. They also help liven up stale office air. Many plants thrive under fluorescent lights, a staple of office living.

Place a candy dish out so that coworkers will stop by and visit for a few minutes.

Hang up a brainteaser or word of the day calendar to help keep your mind sharp.

Pointers for adults returning to school

T

oday’s seniors, particularly those who already have passed retirement age, may find themselves with many free hours to fill now that a job no longer accounts for most of their time. Returning to school may help seniors realize lifelong dreams of finishing a degree, exploring a hobby, getting educated to gain work in a new field, or just to fill some time in a productive way.

Information from the United States Department of Education’s National Center for Education Statistics finds the demand for continuing education is still growing. For those aged 35 and older, the center says adult enrollment should grow by at least another 7 percent through 2016.

It’s possible to return to

Maintain your productivity when working from home

T

elecommuting has grown more and more common over the last decade. Thanks in large part to advancements in technology that make it easier than ever before to connect remotely with coworkers, telecommuting is now something more and more companies are embracing.

According to Global Workplace Analytics, a consulting and research firm that focuses on emerging workplace strategies, the total telework growth from 2011 to 2012, the most recent year for which statistics are available, was 3.8 percent.

But those figures donÕt tell the entire story, as the rise of telecommuters increased considerably since 2006, when the number of teleworkers grew by 26 percent

over the year prior.

Telecommuting can pay dividends for workers and businesses alike. Workers benefit from telecommuting in a variety of ways. Working parents find telecommuting drastically cuts back on or even eliminates childcare costs, saving them thousands of dollars per year. Working from home also saves workers’ vehicles from the everyday wear and tear of driving to and from work, potentially adding years to a vehicle’s life expectancy.

Businesses also benefit from allowing employees to work remotely. Small businesses may need less office space if many of their employees work from home, saving them substantial amounts of money in rent.

In addition, businesses who allow workers to telecom-

mute may not need to spend as much on computers and other tools for their employees, as many telecommuters use their own personal computers when working from home.

While telecommuting can benefit employee and employer, the success of such an arrangement depends largely on the employees who will be working from home.

Men and women who work from home often find they have more freedom at home than they did when working in an office, and how they handle that freedom will go a long way toward determining how successful they are at telecommuting. The following are a handful of strategies telecommuters can employ to ensure their workfrom-home experiment is a productive success.

We Do More for Your Floors!

Stick to a schedule Workers who still commute to work adhere to a schedule, and so should telecommuters. Sticking to a schedule will allow you to maintain the same level of productivity you aspired to when working in the office, and a schedule will ensure your personal life does not encroach on your professional life.

Let others know your schedule Though you’re now working from home, your schedule likely has not changed.

You may be able to sleep in a little later because you no longer have to commute, but your workday is likely still eight hours. Once you have established your schedule, let others in your household, whether it’s a spouse, your children or roommates, know when you will be working on a daily basis. This reduces the likelihood that your housemates will distract you or walk into your office while you’re on a video chat or conference call with colleagues or clients.

Many companies who allow employees to telecommute will provide a phone for such workers. This phone is linked to the same network workers use in the office, and it’s a wholly separate line from your personal lines at home.

How to reduce waste around the office

R

educing waste is one of the easiest and most effective ways to embrace an eco-friendly lifestyle. While men and women can quickly find ways to reduce waste at home, such efforts may require more teamwork at the office, where fellow employees may need some encouragement before they take your efforts to reduce waste seriously.

But while you might need to play the role of master motivator to get your colleagues to cut back on waste, such efforts need not be so difficult, thanks in part to the many easy ways to cut back on waste in an office environment.

Encourage higher-ups to institute a recycling policy. If you are not the head honcho at work, speak to your boss and encourage him or her to institute an office-wide recycling policy. Office paper can be recycled, as can beverage containers, electronic equipment and batteries.

Store digital records. Gone are the days when offices needed ample space to store large filing cabinets containing important documents. Nowadays companies can put that space to better use or downsize to smaller offices thanks to digital storage. Documents no longer need to be printed out and stored in fil-

ing cabinets, when it’s far easier to simply store them as digital files backed up on a hard drive or cloud storage. This reduces your office’s paper usage and can even cut back on its energy consumption because rooms no longer must be climate-controlled and illuminated to store old documents.

Use paper more wisely. Sometimes office directives or memos must be printed, but such notices that will only circulate internally need not be printed to appear like documents that will be shared with clients or other companies.

When circulating internal memos, first ensure they cannot be emailed. If they can, opt for emailing instead of printing out copies to be left on employees’ desks. If memos or directives must be distributed via printouts, ask that writers of such memos use smaller fonts and print on both sides of a sheet of paper.

The smaller font ultimately means less paper consumption, as does printing on both sides of each sheet of paper.

Dispose of electronics properly. Energy and resources are needed to manufacture new METRO CREATIVE products, but offices can help conserve energy Storing files digitally instead of in bulky file and preserve those resources by donating or cabinets can reduce waste around the ofrecycling eligible electronics.

now be in place that dictate how certain electronics should be disposed of. Ensure your office is following these guidelines. Failing to do so may be criminal, and it’s certainly harmful to the environment. And before discarding any older electronics, first determine if they can be donated or recycled.

Start an employee carpooling program.

You and your fellow employees likely drive to work, and everyone driving their own cars to work wastes a considerable amount of fuel, while all of those cars on the road can be harmful to air quality. Speak with fellow employees who live near you about starting a carpooling program. Such arrangements save each member of the carpool money on fuel, and if your community has commuter lanes for cars that include two or more people, then you might shave a substantial amount of time off your daily commutes as well.

Going green at the office is a great way to benefit the environment on a much grander scale than you might be able to in your private life. Speak with your bosses and coworkers about taking steps to reduce the collective carbon footprint of your office.

Unemployment-related depression

U

nemploy ment comes with a host of unwanted side effects. Among the more obvious are fi nancial concerns and lifestyle changes that reflect a loss of income, such as dining at home instead of nights on the town, or cutting back on certain luxuries.

One of the lesser discussed but potentially harmful side effects of unemployment is depression. Several studies have indicated a link between poverty and social isolation and depression.

When unemployed for long periods of time – a reality for many workers in a job market the Center for Economic Policy and Research considers the worst since the Great Depression – the

resulting isolation from colleagues and friends coupled with a loss of income can be enough to trigger depression.

To the millions of workers across the globe who are unemployed and dealing with depression, the simplest solution might be fi nding a job. But that’s no small task, and men and women must fi nd additional ways to cope with depression as they continue to look for work.

Shopping locally can help you and your community

T

The benefits associated with shopping locally are many, and the following are just a few reasons why shoppers may want to look no further than their own communities when planning their next shopping excursions.

Keeps money in the local economy Locally-owned businesses often put a larger share of their revenue back into their communities. Small business owners may be more inclined to employ local residents, giving more people in the community solid employment.

Business owners may reach out and support other neighborhood efforts, such as fundraising initiatives for charities and schools. By shopping at local stores, you have a hand in supporting these efforts as well.

Save money When factoring in travel time and the cost of fuel, shopping locally makes more sense than driving to a faraway mall. In addition, repeat customers who establish a rapport with a local business owner may find that such owners are more inclined to price match or work with loyal customers to find lower prices through suppliers.

Diversify your home and lifestyle Shoppers who prefer more unique styles may find local businesses cater to their needs better than large chain stores. Larger retailers offer the same products to customers regardless of where those customers live, so a person in California may be decorating his or her home with the same furnishings as a person in North Carolina.

Independent shops contribute to the fabric of a community and what makes it special and unique. Tourists and other visitors will be much more inclined to remember a local shop rather than a big chain in a particular neighborhood.

Private and public sector businesses tend to gravitate around anchor stores. Should a local store be successful, banks, restaurants, salons, and other businesses may move in as well.

Shopping locally benefits consumers in various ways, many of which contribute to a healthy local economy.
