Fort Lee’s valuable advocates for survivors
C
hristine Murphy and Angela Bellamy are behind Fort Lee’s Survivor Outreach Services. Murphy handles the financial aspect of Survivor Outreach Services and Bellamy serves as the emotional support. The pair work together to take care of families who have lost a loved one of any branch of the military. Murphy has over 30 years of experience in finance while Bellamy has a background in psychology. “I’m the practical one, Angie’s the touchy-feely,” Murphy said. “Finance and grief really go hand and hand, and it’s very much a team effort between the two of us,” Bellamy said. Murphy added, “I will say we are a great match. Our personalities are a great match up.” Survivor Outreach Services was established in October of 2008 and brought to Fort Lee in March of 2009. Murphy has worked for the program since its inception at Fort Lee. Bellamy started in 2012. Survivor Outreach Services serves over 1,300 family members and reaches out to approximately 250 members each month. The program picks up where the Casualty Assistance Center leaves off and works with families for years. They also assist retirees and Gold Star families dating back to World War II and Vietnam. “Our Gold Star families are those that lost service members serving active duty, so that could be that they were killed in Afghanistan or Iraq, it could have been a training accident, it could have been a sickness when they were in Germany or if they were here and had cancer, as long as they’re serving on active duty, no matter the cause, we support them,” Bellamy said. The services provided by Survivor Outreach are free as long as families need them. As the financial counselor, Murphy assists families with money management, budget counseling and estate education. She helps each family establish a development plan. Bellamy runs several support groups for parents, spouses, retirees and a newly developed suicide support group. Dealing with people on a daily basis who are experiencing a loss in their family is a tough job, both Murphy and Bellamy said, but they each have their own strategies for staying level-headed. Both said that they, too, have to seek counseling assistance occasionally. However stressful or emotional it may be, both women agree that their job is very rewarding. Bellamy added that it is rewarding to know that she is serving a good cause. “It’s also just knowing that we are serving those who have given us our freedom,” she said. ”Every day I am serving these families that lost a loved one because of a sacrifice.” Survivor Outreach Services is a valuable program at Fort Lee for family members of those who served in the military and have died. It’s reassuring that family members have the support of professionals in dealing with the financial and emotional impact from the loss of a loved one. The program is a valuable one at Fort Lee.

A president in denial We have a president who seems to be always in denial about calling the latest attacks by Islamic terrorists “Islamic.” He never mentions the word “Islamic” in any of his speeches. Why? It could be that he has always empathized with the Islamic faith ever since he was born. Here’s more: When talking to many countries over the last six years, he has always apologized for America. Why does America have to apologize for anything? Who is the first country to respond to any natural disaster anywhere in the world? These speeches have made America look weak in the eyes of our Allies and emboldens our enemies. Is he also in denial on the war in Afghanistan? He recently arrogantly stated that the war in Afghanistan is over! I’ll bet the Taliban loved to hear that. Question: If our country is attacked in a similar way as 9/11 or — God forbid — worse, how safe would you feel with this president in denial in charge? Pray that we still have a country left in 2016 so a real Leader can be put in charge. Gary Allen South Chesterfield
The heroes behind our heroes
specifically serving veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. For families of wounded warriors, the difficulty of military service doesn’t stop at the battlefield or even at retirement. After the initial shock of formal diagnoses, many families struggle just to make ends meet. Before Mr. Sawyer required 24-hour care, Mrs. Sawyer taught middle school and high school students for 13 years. She quickly realized that it was impossible to keep her job and care for Mr. Sawyer the way he needed. She left her job, and their income was cut in half. At that point, they found that there were little to no resources available to support caregivers of wounded warriors. The Sawyers decided to take the system head on. Mr. Sawyer focused on rediscovering his life purpose, taking on new side projects where he could spend time outdoors. He became dedicated to working aggressively with his doctors to manage his PTS and TBI. Instead of returning to teaching middle school and high school, Mrs. Sawyer now teaches other wounded warrior families how to navigate the complicated red tape at the VA and how to manage life as a caregiver. She testified before the Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs and submitted written testimony to the House Committee on Veterans Affairs about necessary policy reforms surrounding military service members and mental health. Little by little, the Sawyers have become more comfortable in their new roles at this phase in their lives. The role of veteran caregivers, like Mrs. Sawyer, is one to be applauded. As the VA faces backlogs and waitlists and scandals, veteran caregivers remain steadfast. They are standing in the gap, supporting veterans. They truly carry out the sacred mission charged by Abraham Lincoln, to care for him who shall have borne the battle. At the same time, the role of the veteran caregiver highlights the stark need for updated policies and initiatives designed to support our military heroes when they return home, as well as to support those who provide our heroes with regular and necessary care. One such example is the caregivers’ guide that Andrea Sawyer worked on, along with Military Officers Association of America and many others, to create a helpful and targeted resource for veteran caregivers: http://www.moaa.org/caregiver/. The work veteran caregivers provide is often little known. Many of our wounded warriors struggle from mental health issues or brain injuries that aren’t easily noticed by neighbors or coworkers. But the caregivers are there, often serving quietly behind the scenes. As we hear stories like Mrs. Sawyer’s, we are reminded of the work we have left to do in Washington. It is more than a duty. It is an honor to serve those who have made such enormous sacrifices in the service to this nation. We are also filled with appreciation. To our veteran caregivers, thank you. You are the unsung heroes. You serve on a different kind of front line. For your service, we are grateful.
Andrea Sawyer of Colonial Heights takes her husband to all of his medical appointments as often as three or four times a week. At one point, he required all-day safety supervision at home. Although his conditions have improved greatly, there are still multiple medications and appointments to manage. Mrs. Sawyer’s husband suffers from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post traumatic stress (PTS) as a result of his military service in Iraq. During his service, Mr. Sawyer served in mortuary affairs. He served overseas in the Department of Defense mortuaries in Tallil and Balad, Iraq, and stateside at Dover Port Mortuary, Dover Air Force Base. While in Iraq, he sustained blast related injuries. For the Sawyers, their toughest journey was not during his deployment, but after Mr. Sawyer returned home. It was a long road to his diagnosis of severe PTS and TBI. During that time, Mr. Sawyer needed 24-hour-a-day supervision — someone to manage his medications, take him to the doctor, ensure he was safe at home, and monitor his mental health. But it wasn’t the Department of Veterans Affairs or Tricare or representatives from the Department of Defense who stepped in to fill that role. It was Mrs. Sawyer. At 34 years old and with a first- and second-grader at home, she became the primary caregiver to her husband. She’s not alone. All across the nation, behind our wounded heroes, there is another army of heroes: veteran caregivers. These are the spouses, parents, family members, and volunteers who provide regular care to those who have served our nation. Many family members of veterans eventually find themselves in this role, especially as their loved ones age. However, since 9/11, those in need of care have become younger and Congressman Randy ForbesR-4th younger. According to the RAND Corpo- District ration, there are 1.1 million caregivers Chesapeake, Va.
The American way and football Athletes using women and children to practice their “hits,” The better to be able to concuss an opponent’s brain? Deflated pigskin, not enough to kick New England out of Super Bowl 49, Why do fans stand for this and not show disdain?

Campus rapes, sexual assault in the military, hush-hush, consequences comic, White cops who kill unarmed Black males, the “rule of law” allows to go free, The federal government bails out institutions “too big to fail,” but their imprudence continues, Payments for infractions regarded as merely a “cost of doing business” fee.

Would Dr. King march today? Dr. Martin Luther King was a great civil rights leader. We still need his leadership. Our federal tax code infringes on our civil rights: Denial of due process, no trial by jury, forced self-incrimination, unreasonable search and seizure, lack of privacy, unequal treatment of citizens, complex and ambiguous laws. Witness the IRS to see government tyranny. The tax code has enslaved us to lose our God given right to our production (income, savings, and investment). It is free people and markets, not laws and regulations that create a higher standard of living with lower costs and higher quality. The problem is the 16th Amendment, passed in February 1913 to enable direct taxation of the individual without limits. Then came the first legal income tax, the IRS, payroll taxes and tax withholding. Government gained huge taxing power and We the People lost freedom, liberty and civil rights as protected by our original Constitution. There is a better way! The FairTax Bill HR 25 enables us to determine how much tax you pay after the basic care and feeding of the family and repeals 16th Amendment with companion legislation.

House of Delegates OKs money for veterans care centers Anderson were among the chief sponsors of the bills. “While we will never be able to fully repay Virginia’s veterans for their service to our country, we can all work to ensure that they receive the care they have earned,” Forbes said at a news conference Jan. 26. “There is a clear and pressing need for greater capacity to care for our Virginia veterans over the long term, and the passage of this legislation marks an important step toward meeting that need.” Virginia is home to a number of large military bases, and over 780,000 veterans live within the commonwealth. Consequently, veterans’ issues are never far from the forefront of state politics. The bills are the first of many addressing the needs of veterans that
will come before the General Assembly this session. Supporters say the measures will provide long-overdue improvements to the health care system for veterans. “When compared with Virginia, Oklahoma has half as many veterans, three times as many veterans care centers and more than three times as many beds in those centers,” Stolle said. “With federal action, we can build the veterans care centers to meet our needs in Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia.” The $66.7 million allocated by the legislation represents the state’s 35 percent share of construction costs for the project. The federal government will pick up the remaining 65 percent, along with operational expenses. The total construction cost, including the federal match for the two centers,
will be $190 million. “There are about 200,000 veterans living in Northern Virginia alone, yet a Manassas resident faces a two-hour drive to visit a family member or loved one in the nearest Virginia Veterans Care Center,” Anderson said. “Moving this legislation forward puts us that much closer to breaking ground and living up to our promise to be the most veteran-friendly state in the country.” The Virginia Beach City Council has reserved 15-25 acres of city land as the site for the proposed Veterans Care Center in Hampton Roads. There are two possible sites for the proposed Northern Virginia Care Center: one in Innovation Park in Prince William County, and the other on George Mason University’s Prince William County Campus.

Pratsinak said that the name of his nephew’s place of worship, Saint Elpis Greek Orthodox Church of Southside Virginia, appropriately translated into English as hope. “We are all hoping that there will be closure in God’s abundant knowledge,” he said. Following the vigil, the missing Pratsinak’s cousin, also named John Pratsinak, said that the family is struggling to cope. “It just feels like a bad dream that hasn’t ended,” he said.

From Contributed Report
CHESTERFIELD — The effort to preserve Virginia’s historic Rosenwald Schools moves forward this month as John Tyler Community College (JTCC) and Preservation Virginia co-host "Saving Virginia’s Rosenwald Schools". This is the second year Tyler and Preservation Virginia will hold the event, which brings together Rosenwald School alumni and their families, historic groups, researchers, preservationists, students and community members to discuss the ongoing development of a statewide initiative to inventory and preserve these historic school buildings. The Rosenwald rural school building program opened educational opportunities to African Americans in the South during the era between the Civil War and the civil rights movement. More than 5,000 Rosenwald Schools were built, including 367 in Virginia, but it is estimated that nationally only 10-12 percent of these schools remain standing, and in 2013, Preservation Virginia included the Rosenwald Schools on its annual Most Endangered Historical Sites list. John Tyler Community College and Preservation Virginia invites those with ties to the Rosenwald Schools, as well as those interested in

TRI-CITIES
SNOW DAY From Staff Reports
S
now hit later and heavier than expected last week, closing city schools. Instead of the snow hitting overnight as it was forecasted, the Tri-Cities was hit with powdery snow early on Tuesday, Jan. 27, covering most secondary roads and causing traffic delays. Because of the unexpected weather, many schools in the region closed for the day. Colonial Heights, Chesterfield, Prince George
and Dinwiddie County schools were all closed. Hopewell students did not report to school because of a teacher workday, but city staff were still required to report to school. No government closings were reported and some local businesses were on a two-hour delay. Since roadways remained largely passable, a few kids made it over to the hill at Colonial Heights Middle School, a popular sledding spot.
