Motorists navigate roadwork on the Boulevard in Colonial Heights Monday morning. Due to this week’s rains, the traffic switch for the Boulevard Modernization Project previously scheduled to begin Wednesday, was postponed until further notice. The city will provide a 48-hour notice when this traffic switch is rescheduled. FROM STAFF REPORTS

lans by the city of Colonial Heights to pull a switcheroo on motorists were put on hold this past week as spring storms passed through the region. Beginning Wednesday, April 30, traffic was scheduled to be changed over from the east side of the Boulevard to the west side of the Boulevard. The city has

postponed the switchover until further notice. The public will be provided a 48-hour notice when the traffic switch is rescheduled. Once the city gives the green light, traffic will be placed on the newly constructed southbound lane (west side) of the Boulevard from Lafayette Avenue to Westover Avenue. A lane closure will be established on the northbound lane (east side) of the Boulevard from Lafayette Avenue to Westover Avenue.

This lane closure is necessary to facilitate the continued roadway improvements to the Boulevard. Permanent and temporary traffic signals will be operational at this time. The city of Colonial Heights appreciates everyone’s patience and cooperation during this construction period. The posted speed limit within the work zone between Lafayette Avenue and Westover Avenue is 25 mph.

We understand the church now has a second location. With the opening of a second location in Midlothian, have you changed your name from Colonial Heights Baptist Church to The Heights?

Perdue creating additional jobs in the region

he chickens have come home to roost — and create jobs in the region. Thanks to the growth in the Perdue and Harvestland brands as well as customer-owned brands — all chicken products — there will be 190 new jobs and a $3 million investment in the Mid-Atlantic Replenishment Center in Prince George County. The move should bring the number of people employed at the facility to more than 500. The distribution center receives packaged fresh chicken products from processing plants, then labels and boxes them for shipping. “Our operations in Virginia are very important to our strategic growth plans, both in the foods business and Perdue AgriBusiness,” said Chairman Jim Perdue. “We’ll continue to invest in our future as a multi-branded, multi-faceted food and agricultural products company, and to better serving all of our customers.” The Mid-Atlantic Replenishment Center is a strategic distribution hub that was established in 2000 as part of Perdue’s comprehensive supply-chain initiative to streamline manufacturing and expedite deliveries. The 120,000-square-foot facility receives, weighs, labels and distributes 30 percent of the company’s retail products. As of 2011, the facility had a total community impact of $50 million, including a $9.1 million payroll. Needless to say, local officials were thrilled with the announcement of the expansion. “Prince George County is pleased with Perdue’s decision to grow in our community,” said Percy C. Ashcraft, county administrator. “Perdue continues to be a tremendous asset to our employment base.” The growth in jobs is particularly welcome and may be one more indication that the economy has finally turned the corner and job growth will continue.

Troop train for Fort Lee soldiers derailed

he idea of transporting soldiers from Fort Lee to Fort A.P. Hill by rail cars is now officially off the tracks. A set of railroad cars that were going to be used for ferrying troops to and from field training went to the auction block. Acquired from the Virginia Railway Express in 2011, the cars were never used for the trips between Fort Lee and Fort A.P. Hill. Four rail cars — USAX402, 404, 405 and 407 — recently sold at auction, according to listings at Liquidity Services. Two sold for $8,700 each and the other two for $7,800 each. They are Pullman Gallery I cars built between 1956 and 1969, and rebuilt between 1996 and 2009, according to a previous sale notice from prior owner VRE. While the first set up for auction has been sold, another set of rail cars was open to bids in early April. Fort Lee planners had hoped to use a train as an alternative to moving 800 to 1,100 soldiers via massive bus and truck convoys on Interstate 95. A study of Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and Federal Railroad Administration records indicated that rail transport would be safer. The VRE board of directors was asked about selling or leasing surplus equipment in June 2010. In October 2010, the VRE board approved selling 10 railcars and three GP-40 locomotives to the Army for $250,000. The first four cars acquired from the Northern Virginia commuter rail service arrived in October 2011. Fort Lee officials said the vehicle convoys cost about $573,000 annually. Early estimates were the trains would cost about $600,000 per year. An additional $100,000 to $325,000 in startup costs, along with an operation contract that rose to an estimated $1 million annually, derailed the troop train. In March 2012 the program was canceled due to budget constraints. Also, the trip tripled in time, taking an estimated nine hours by rail and shuttle bus from a rail terminal to A.P. Hill, located in Caroline County near Fredericksburg. It is unclear why it would take so long. For comparison, a trip on today’s Amtrak Northeast Regional 147 from Petersburg’s station (located in Ettrick) to Fredericksburg is listed at 1 hour and 43 minutes. Moving troops by rail appeared to be a good idea, especially since it’s safer for troops. But rising costs simply made the rail ride too expensive in this era of budget cuts at the Pentagon.

YOUR OPINIONS

Look at the budget, not messy yards To the Editor:

It is amazing that a messy porch or a trash bin left out longer than “someone says it should be” garnishes more interest and attention than a $75 million dollar budget for the city of Colonial Heights. The mayor made a comment at the last City Council meeting that he wished more people would come for the budget discussions. He knows when you find out about the property tax increase he’s going to have to explain that again and he’s already talked about it at the meetings but you weren’t there. Divided by a population of 17,000 residents, that $75 million dollar budget carries a burden rate of roughly $4,400 for each man, woman and child, employed and nonemployed. That’s just a local budget. What is the burden rate per person when you add in the state and federal budgets? (That’s a simple breakdown but it makes the point.) Let’s make this real. Pretend I come to your door and tell you that next year I want a check for $17,600; $4,400 for each of the four people in your family. What would you say? Where would you get it, if you could? Then here comes the state wanting their share and the federal government wanting theirs. Does anyone still think we are not in deep financial trouble in this country? And it all starts locally. But no, we are worried about the stuff on someone’s porch and a recycle bin sitting out a day too long while your grandkids are going to be living in squalor. But we’re living comfortably, who cares about the next generation’s burdens? The city has added a new position; director of economic development, at a cost of $105,000 per year, salary and benefits included. Is this the time to do this, during an anticipated budget shortfall? They are going to raise property taxes to help meet their shortfall and next year, what will they raise? Oh, that’s right, our water rates will be increasing. They have been discussing this for a year, but do you have a clue, no, because you never come to the meetings. How can the city justify this new position? Since the city doesn’t have much land for development and they don’t have to beg businesses to come here, why was this position needed now? If the new director does a good job and actually develops something more economically in the city than would naturally happen, will the city cut property taxes when the revenue catches up? I doubt it would even be considered if that happened. It takes me back to when we had the drought conditions and they talked about raising water rates to curb usage. Do you really think if they raised the rates they would lower them when the threat of a true drought assuaged? When they have a shortfall and they raise taxes, do they ever lower them again if their revenues pick up? Millions of Americans have cut their personal budgets over the last few years; why can’t our government do the same? Can we afford to let government keep growing at this rate without questioning the end results? What’s more important to our future; our neighbor’s messy porch or out of control government

School bans American flag on T-shirts To the Editor: In 2010, five students went to school at their public high school in California wearing T-shirts that displayed the American flag. That sentence seems anything but newsworthy. In fact, it seems extremely ordinary in a nation where citizens proudly display our flag on apparel, outside our homes, on our cars, inside our schools, and across our towns. But what happened next at the California high school would start a firestorm of debate, and create a case that would bring it to the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. You see, the students chose to wear the T-shirts on Cinco de Mayo, a day of celebration in Mexican culture. The California high school had a history of violence among students, both between gangs and between Caucasian and Hispanic students. School administrators feared racial disputes during the school-sanctioned celebration of the Mexican holiday. Rather than cancel the Cinco de Mayo celebration, however, school administrators invoked a special dress code. They said American flag T-shirts were “incendiary” and disrespectful to students celebrating Cinco de Mayo. Administrators said only the Mexican flag could be shown that day. So they told the students wearing American flag T-shirts to either turn their T-shirts inside out or change them, or they would be sent home. The students chose to be sent home. The students brought a lawsuit against the school district, saying the school’s decision infringed on their constitutional rights. The district court sided with school administrators. The case went through the appeals process and just this year, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals heard the case. Last month, a threejudge panel for the Ninth Circuit upheld the lower court’s decision, affirming the school officials’ decision to ban the American flag Tshirts. The appeals court decision is trou-

bling. Although public schools have the authority to prohibit expression that “materially and substantially interferes with the requirements of appropriate discipline in the operation of the school,” they do not have blanket authority to stifle freedom of speech. In a choice between free speech and poor conduct, the court sided with poor conduct. They empowered a heckler’s veto, which is to say that they silenced peaceful demonstration of one group of individuals because a more vocal opposing group threatened violence. This sends a terrible message to young people: if you don’t agree with a particular type of speech, you can simply harass others or threaten violence and win. Most concerning, however, is that the decision threatens Americans’ basic understanding of our right to free speech. To many Americans there simply is no question in this case. The peaceful display of the American flag on a T-shirt is, unquestionably, a right protected by the First Amendment of our Constitution, and a belief I supported in an amicus brief in the case, asking the full Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to hear the case. First adopted by the Continental Congress in 1777, the American flag has long been a national symbol filled with meaning. Its colors symbolize the patriotic ideals and principles of liberty, justice, and equality. Our flag embodies American freedom and is a symbol of freedom and hope to nations who have none. Families have journeyed across the world towards it, seeking better lives. We welcome our national heroes home with it. We drape it over the caskets of those who have given their lives in service of our nation. We flew it with profound patriotism in New York City and on the side of the Pentagon after the terrorist attacks in 2001. It promises liberty and justice for all. Its legacy is timeless throughout our nation’s history – it was a sign of a new nation, it continues to be a promise of hope during tumultuous times, a signal of peaceful transition of power, and a symbol of celebration each July. To say that American students cannot wear a symbol that, itself, represents our Constitutional rights is not just ironic – it is egregious. If we can’t display the American flag as a purpose of expression, what can we say? Congressman Randy Forbes R-4th District Chesapeake, Va.

Ga. attorney general is upholding his duties To the Editor: A gay rights group filed a federal lawsuit April 22, 2014, challenging Georgia’s constitutional ban on same sex marriages.Attorney General Sam Olens will defend against the suit, filing a press release stating: “The Attorney General will fulfill his constitutional obligation to defend Georgia law.” How fortunate that the citizens of Georgia were smart enough to elect a state attorney general that recognizes the sworn duty of the office, unlike a majority of Virginians, as evidenced in the past attorney general election of Mark Herring.

cuit Court Judge Herbert C. Gill recused himself from the case to avoid any appearance of impropriety. His recusal followed a motion by the state and argued by special assistant prosecutor Tara Mooney from the Stafford County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office. Mooney is assisting Colonial Heights Commonwealth’s Attorney William “Bill” Bray in the prosecution of the case. Retired Portsmouth Circuit Court Judge Dean W. Sword Jr. will preside over the case.

When Gill recused himself, he said that he would have the Circuit Court clerk’s office call the Supreme Court of Virginia to seek a new judge for the case. As part of the motion that led to Gill recusing himself, Mooney argued that Gill had previously come into professional contact with the remaining defendant’s father, Maurice Dacey. Maurice Dacey had a 17year career as a Virginia State Police trooper and a career as an attorney since 2006. Maurice Dacey said that he had “probably”

appeared before Gill as a trooper and as an attorney. Maurice Dacey appeared before Gill in 2001 in a divorce proceeding between Dacey and his wife that lasted several years. Mooney said the motion was made, not because of any quarrel with the judge, but because there has been “a lot of community discussion” about the case. “We’re not alleging that there is any bias,” Mooney said. She said it was a way to preserve the public perception of the judicial system as impartial.

Re-enactors portraying Confederate soldiers prepare to march in a battle re-enactment.

Uniqueimmersionevent Celebration marks 150th anniversary of Bermuda Hundred Campaign

BY KATHERINE JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

CHESTERFIELD — In honor of the 150th anniversary of the Bermuda Hundred Campaign, the Chesterfield County Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Committee hosted a weekendlong commemoration that featured skirmishes, reenactors, historical displays and demonstrations. Amy Sheets, Chesterfield County Public Affairs Officer, said it was a one-time event in recognition of the battle that took place in May 1864. “Chesterfield County played an important role in the Civil War. It was in this place that the Confederates were able to stop the Federals from getting to Richmond. ... This is one of our bigger battles that took place entirely within the county, and so this was the perfect opportunity to re-create that,” Sheets said. Sheets said 450 reenactors participated in the event, and she hoped to have at least 1,500 visitors over the weekend. George Fickett, a Bermuda Hundred historian, said the campaign was also significant because the war could have ended a year early. If Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler had captured Petersburg, all supplies would have been cut off to Richmond, the Confederate capital. The war also would have been over if Butler was able to capture Richmond, Fickett said. “That was what Grant’s hope was ... Butler could have snuck in through the back door and captured Richmond. The war would have been over, because there would have been no reason for Lee to fight any longer because the city

was captured,” Fickett said. John Pagano, lead reenactment coordinator for the anniversary event, was responsible for taking care of the re-enactors, battles and the camps over the weekend. Because of the anniversary event, “the public is getting a real sense of what the Civil War was like and that’s our mission,” he said. Pagano said the event was both for history enthusiasts and people new to re-enactments. “They start out with some basic questions and then by the time they get done with talking with us, a lot of them have that light bulb,” Pagano said. “It brings color to a historical period. If you bring the color, the sights and sounds of a historical period to life, it gives a different dynamic to learning it ...” Pagano said. Peter James McCarthy, a refugee re-enactor, was portraying James McCarthy who owned 7 acres behind the Confederate line and was displaced from his house because of the battle, Peter McCarthy said. Peter McCarthy has been doing re-enactments for about 20 years, and brought his dog out with him for the first time. “The civilian part of the event just adds another aspect to it, and it’s very interesting to have the interaction with the Federals and the Confederates being a civilian,” he said. Mia Marie, was also portraying a refugee, but more specifically, a “contraband of war.” Marie has been participating in re-enactments since 2008 because of her passion for history. She is a costume

Peter James McCarthy is shown portraying refugee James McCarthy and his dog at the civilian camp. In addition to battle re-enactments, satellite areas interpreting the civilian, slave, medical and U.S. Navy stories were set up at the anniversary event for visitors to explore.

Marie said she wanted to participate in the anniversary event so she could “show the public what life was actually like for those people who were living here 150 years ago. There were not only soldiers, but everyday people such as refugees, civilians and people just trying to deal with having the war interrupt everyday life.” Compared to other re-

enactments, Marie said the 150th anniversary event was unique because it gathered people from all over the country for a small event. “We’re able to talk to the public on a really close scale and our passion for history all comes together in the small details about this event,” Marie said. • Katherine Johnson may be reached at 804-7225154 or kjohnson@progress-index.

During a battle re-enactment, Union soldiers fire back at the approaching Confederates. The Bermuda Hundred 150th anniversary event demonstrated to visitors what siege warfare and fighting during the Civil War was like in Chesterfield County in May 1864, and unlike other re-enactments, Federal and Confederate re-enactors not only camped on-site for two nights, awakening at dawn to re-create the battles of Bermuda Hundred, but they actually dug earthworks to fortify their lines.

Mia Marie, portraying a refugee or contraband of war, escorts one of the youngest re-enactors around the civilian camp. The 150th anniversary commemoration of the Bermuda Hundred Campaign was a free, public event sponsored by the Chesterfield Sesquicentennial of the American Civil War Committee. It took place Saturday and Sunday, April 26-27 at the Clover Hill Athletic Complex, 17901 Genito Road, Moseley.

Michah Scott, 4, left, and Xavier Scott, 5, right, make musical instruments at the children’s Imagination Station in the new Petersburg Public Library during the library’s grand opening event on Saturday, April 26. The $12.7 million library required a years-long capital campaign as the Petersburg Library Foundation spearheaded a drive to raise money and build the new facility. Wayne Crocker, director of the Petersburg Public Library System, recently said the new library has been a “total community effort,” and feels a sense of joy and relief knowing that the project has been completed. The Petersburg Public Library System had been headquartered at the 13,000-square-foot William R. McKenney Branch at 137 S. Sycamore St. since 1924. The new 45,000square-foot building at 201 W. Washington St. features about 3,000 square feet for children’s programming, 60 computers for public use, a cafe and a gift shop. Community outreach programs, such as the READ Center, will have dedicated classroom and study spaces upstairs. The nonprofit focuses on promoting adult literacy. The library is expected to have space for the Healthy Living and Learning Center, a partnership between the Petersburg Public Library System, the Virginia Department of Health and the Virginia Commonwealth University Massey Cancer Center.
