Local man gets law passed that has bird owners flying high

ot only can citizens fight city hall and win, one Colonial Heights man has shown you can change a state law if you put your mind to it. Colonial Heights resident Lewis “Buddy” Waskey is a member of the East Wings Freeflight Club, which gathers to let exotic birds stretch their wings. Waskey realized that according to existing law, members of the club could not legally own their blue-throated macaws because the birds were listed as endangered. State law prohibits Virginia residents from owning non-native domestic pets listed on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service endangered species list. U.S. law doesn’t prohibit all ownership of animals on the list, but prohibits participating in the transport of endangered species for interstate or international purchase or sale. A person registered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service may get a permit to buy and sell, within the U.S., non-native endangered animals born in captivity. The purpose must be to increase population growth of the species. Blue-throated macaws were added to the endangered species list Nov. 4, 2013. Waskey said a main reason for adding animals to the endangered species list is smuggling, which isn’t an issue for the blue-throated macaw. “The smuggling in developed countries is like zero. It just doesn’t happen,” he said. “People in the United States don’t want wild-caught birds.” Waskey said the blue-throated macaw hasn’t been imported since 1992. Waskey approached state Sen. Steve Martin, R-Chesterfield, about proposing legislation to change the law. After researching the cause, Martin patroned Senate Bill 50, which passed both the Senate and House of Delegates and has been approved by Gov. Terry McAuliffe. The new law allows people to possess, breed, sell, and transport any non-native wildlife included on any federal list of endangered or threatened species when the federal designation, under the Federal Endangered Species Act, does not specifically prohibit such possession, breeding, selling or transporting. In other words, the new law — which takes effect on July 1 — makes it legal to own the blue-throated macaw. Thanks to a Colonial Heights man, when the members of the East Wings gather to let their birds fly, those macaws can fly freely and legally.

Petersburg seeks to sell a lot of property

fter years of buying properties to keep them from becoming dilapidated or worse, Petersburg is changing course. During the worst of the housing crash and recession, Petersburg bought properties that were in distress. But with the housing market and economy recovery, city officials have decided to put up a massive FOR SALE sign. During an open house recently, about 100 people came to learn about more than 200 city-owned properties — ranging from massive commercial properties like the former Roper Brothers Lumber site to single-family residential lots — for sale by the city. The event highlights a shift in policy by the city, which had purchased 115 properties between 2003 and 2008. Vandy Jones, director of economic development, said developers have seen a bright light in recent years. “In the worst of the downturn, that’s when they really started to come in strong,” he said. “I think it was a combination of things.” The Base Realignment and Closure process helped outsiders to see that the city is worth investing in. Developers also realized that “Petersburg is not 1,000 miles away from Richmond.” Many participants at the open house boarded a PAT bus for a tour of the city. They planned to criss-cross Petersburg to highlight major parcels for sale, neighborhoods and recent redevelopment projects. Let’s hope many of the city-owned properties can be sold in the coming months. It would be a win-win for the city — it would put properties back on the tax rolls while spurring economic development in Petersburg.

YOUR OPINIONS

Plan raises questions on Horuda Farm property To the Editor:

As a lifelong resident of Colonial Heights, I would like to take this opportunity to address the Comprehensive Plan Memorandum that was prepared and made public by the city manager of Colonial Heights. I have been a key participant and supporter of the petitions that have been circulating around Colonial Heights opposing the suggestion of using the Horuda Farm property for anything other than single family residential use. City Manager Thomas Mattis clearly states that, “It would only seem logical that a discussion of the future of the only remaining properties would include the possibility of considering it for a different kind of development.” One of the only remaining properties he references at the beginning of the memorandum is the Horuda Farm property. Therefore, it is not “erroneous” to be concerned and state that this land could be rezoned. From a finalized comprehensive plan comes ordinances, and at some point what is a plan could become law. Second, our city government, as well as government at all levels, has forgotten that we are a democracy. A democracy is a government by the people, for the people, and of the people. Well, the people have spoken, and this is exactly how our government is supposed to work. It concerns me and should concern all citizens that this memorandum goes on to state that “From this point forward, the process for consideration and adoption of the Comprehensive Plan will be totally driven by the Planning Commission and City Council …”. One may interpret this as saying that what the citizens want will not ultimately play a factor in the final decision. Is this how our government is supposed to function, or is this more of an example of how a dictatorship operates? The citizens of Colonial Heights will not let this go and we will continue to pursue our wants for this city as taxpaying residents and the OWNER of our government. We have done nothing wrong by peacefully circulating a petition stating the facts and making our voices heard. We will not be silenced by an intimidating memorandum. Lori Callis Colonial Heights

Our eroding freedoms include a free press To the Editor: While the nation seems focused on a missing plane I see our country’s freedoms eroding. One of these is our freedom of speech and free press, pointed out by conservatives for some time now but it’s so obvious that liberals have joined the fray. New York Times reporter James Risen said the Obama administration wants to “narrow the field” of national security reporting and then said “create a path for accepted reporting.” I will repeat his point; create a path for accepted reporting. You must be wondering as I was accepted by whom? Well, it’s not the American people but the U.S. Department of Justice, headed by Eric Holder. They just set new guidelines for accessing journalists’ records.

We invite your commentary The Colonial Voice publishes a wide variety of opinions. Send letters to People’s Forum. P.O. Box 71, Petersburg, VA 23804, or e-mail them to lettertoeditor@progressindex.com. Letters should be no longer than 400 words.

A few years ago the Department of Justice went after FOX News reporter James Rosen and he was accused of being an “aider & abettor” and co-conspirator of leaked classified information. In a break with the way the government traditionally deals with media outlets the DOJ did not contact FOX or the AP for two months while gathering phone records. Eric Holder has had more than his share of scandals including being held in contempt of Congress over the Fast & Furious scandal. No wonder they don’t want anyone reporting on what they are doing. While steadily taking away our rights the current administration claims the United States is the greatest country in the world. Here are a few statistics we should all know before making such statements: the US is ranked 17th out of 34 in education in industrialized countries, 39th in global birth deaths putting us behind some developing countries. The 2006 State of the World Liberty Index ranked the U.S. at number 8. In 2013 we did not make the top 10. This ranking uses three areas to obtain scores, economic freedom, government size and taxation. In 2013 the United States was ranked 32nd in the Reporters Without Borders Press Freedom Index. This is a measure of freedom available to the press, including areas such as government censorship, and not a measure of the quality of journalism. The U.S. fell from 20th in 2010 to 42nd in 2012, which was attributed to arrests of journalists covering the Occupy movement. In 2012, Finland and Norway tied for 1st worldwide. Canada ranked 10th, Germany and Jamaica tied for 17th, and Japan tied 22nd with Suriname. The United Kingdom placed 28th, Australia 30th, and France 38th. William Duncan Carmichael Colonial Heights

The facts about tithing

called them hypocrites for having done so while ignoring more important matters. Those scribes and Pharisees were under law which never applies to gentiles under grace. His exact words are recorded as follows in Matthew 23:23: “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.” Another fact Ms. Martin needs to be aware of, from Baker’s Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology, reads as follows: “Nowhere does the New Testament require Christians to tithe in the sense of giving 10 percent ...” Bill Cromer Colonial Heights

For Alcohol Awareness Month, small talks make big impact To the Editor: It’s Alcohol Awareness Month and a good time to begin talking with kids about the dangers of alcohol use. Small talks can make a big impact. As a parent and a doctor, I know the importance of talking with kids early and often about alcohol. Small talks can occur at the dinner table, in the family room or even in the car ride to school or practice. While you may think your kids are not listening, research shows parents have the greatest influence over a youth’s decision not to drink. Make clear your views and expectations about alcohol and always be a responsible role model. As your child matures, so should these discussions. Be mindful that most teens who drink get alcohol from their homes, at parties or from other adults. Keep track of the alcohol products in your home and be aware of your teen’s friends and activities. Importantly, youth are more likely to avoid alcohol when they have a strong bond with their parents based on trust and open communication. So keep talking. As a nation, we are making progress. Underage drinking rates are at an all-time low. By continuing these conversations we can continue this positive trend. For more tips go to www.dontserveteens.gov Farzanna S. Haffizulla, MD FACP President, American Medical Women’s Association http://www.amwa-doc.org/

Herring’s gay marriage decision will be overturned

To the Editor: In a recent column Tom Lovorn answers Tonya Martin who asked, “Does God require the tithe through our local assembly or may we use it to help people in need? To support tithing at local assemblies — like God’s Storehouse Baptist Church in Richmond — Mr. Lovorn said, “Jesus told the Jews in Matthew 23:23 not to neglect the tithe.” Fact is, Jesus was addressing scribes and Pharisees who paid this nearly irrelevant tithe of spices. He

To the Editor: Attorney General Mark Herring took the unprecedented step of siding with the plaintiffs in this case against the Virginia Constitution he took an oath to uphold. Very disappointing. I expect this decision to be overturned. June Lynn Thomas Midlothian

From left to right, Chuck Fleming, Wincel Brooks and Bob Fedon, members of the Colonial Heights Senior Golf Association, are shown at the Fort Lee Cardinal Golf Course getting ready for the 2014 golf season.

Senior golfers tee off at new home F O RT L E E — O n Ap r i l 1 , seniors with the Colonial Heights Senior Golf Association (CHSGA) came out of a long, cold, winter hibernation to test their skills at the For t Lee, Cardinal Golf Course. The leadership of the association under the direction of Dwight Reagan worked hard to make the transition as easy as possible from the Prince George Country Club to this new location for the 2014 Golf year. And so far, everyone seems to be happy, except for the rainy weather, says Ted Swearingen, 2014 publicity chairman for the association in an emailed statement. Swearingen says, the association is thriving with a full complement of 128 members, all over 60 years of age with about 50 percent over 75 years “young” and more than 20 seniors on the waiting list. Swearingen adds, “On opening day a large turnout of 115 members showed up to test the course and their stamina, being a bit outof-shape after a long winter’s nap. Of course, the new course was challenging, especially after a long layoff, but scores should improve as the players dust off their rusty putters and tune-in their game.”

From left to right, Tom Green, a pro golfer at Fort Lee, speaks with members of the Colonial Heights Senior Golf Association: Dwight Reagan, association president; Ed Tatum, association director; and Jerry Radcliff, association vice president. But more importantly, he said, the joy of starting the new season and seeing old friends was the highlight of opening day. The CHSGA schedules play every Tuesday from April through October each year and even some extended play dates in the fall. Several tournaments and special games are part of the sea-

son. Swearingen said “anyone can enjoy play in this association as handicaps are determined to even out the competition and tee boxes are senior friendly; but the success of this association is measured by the humor, friendly fun, exercise and great social interaction among the group.”

New motorcycle ministry forms to serve Tri-City community Ministry officially dedicated on March 9 DINWIDDIE — There is a brand new ministry within the Tri-City area serving from two wheels. It’s the Cross Bearers Motorcycle Ministry and it all began from the spiritual vision of Joseph T. Parham, the ministry founder, as a direct result of a motorcycle accident that occurred on Sept. 4, 2013. There was a collision with a 6-point buck and the founder when he was out riding which resulted in the bike being totaled, the deer being killed and the rider sustaining only very minor injuries. “This was truly a wakeup call for me,” Parham said. “I have been riding motorcycles all my life and have never been as humble about the fact of how close to death or severe injury one can become in an instant while on two wheels, he said. “God really could have called me home, but he didn’t, and I feel that he must have plans for me to fulfill.”

The new Cross Bearers Motorcycle Ministry is based at Olive Branch Baptist Church in Dinwiddie, but members come from a variety of churches. For information on how to join the group, call the ministry founder, Joseph T. Parham at 804-732-1502. Along with the realization of what the outcome could have been came the vision of what could be done to exemplify gratitude to the Creator. Hence, the Cross Bearers Motorcycle Ministry was born. The idea was presented to the pastor of Olive Branch Baptist Church, the Rev. Kevin M. Northam, who embraced the idea of another Christ based ministry. After an extensive meeting with Pastor Northam on Jan. 27, 2014, and after his aggressive

scrutiny, he agreed to be the spiritual advisor and to allow Olive Branch Baptist Church in Dinwiddie County be the Cross Bearers home base. The first official meeting was held on Feb. 1, and the ministry was officially dedicated on March 9, during the morning worship service at Olive Branch Baptist Church, located at 11119 Boydton Plank Road. According to a statement released by the Ministry, the Cross Bearers Motorcycle Ministry is a Christ-directed, interdenominational, nonprof-

it, motorcycle ministry. “We believe that God’s direction for this ministry is to endeavor to work diligently to promote the word and the goodness of God within our communities or throughout the world, thereby being ‘Messengers for Christ’”. The group’s motto that was formatted by their president, Minister Larry Watson, and adopted by the ministry is, “For God We Ride, With His Son by Our Side and the Holy Spirit as Our Guide.” Currently, the ministry is excepting individuals who desire to help others and to spread the good news of Christ and the joy of salvation. A person does not have to be a member of Olive Branch Baptist Church to join the ministry. Current members are from various churches in the community. Anyone who is interested in joining the ministry is asked to contact the founder, CB Joseph T. Parham at 804-732-1502, the president, CB Larry Watson at 804-712-0772 or any Cross Bearer member. You may also inquire by email at crossbearersmm@yahoo. com or at P.O. Box 803, Dinwiddie, VA 23841-9998.
