Fort Lee participates in city’s Memorial Day ceremony BY AMIR VERA STAFF WRITER

onday morning on the Boulevard was a solemn one. Guest speaker and Virginia State Police Capt. Craig C. Worsham spoke on the meaning of sacrifice. “Sacrifice is meaningless without remembrance,” he said. “Those freedoms were paid for with the lives of others few of us actually knew. That’s why they are collectively remembered on one special day.” Members of Gold Star families as well as veterans from wars recent and long gone were in attendance at the Colonial Heights War Memorial to pay their respects to those that have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. During the ceremony, the names of 55 fallen soldiers throughout Please see SACRIFICES, Page 3

Cold, rain and helmets help save the lives of motorcyclists

veryone looks for a silver lining during protracted periods of bad weather. Well, here’s one: the cold and rain that stole much of 2013’s summer across the country, following a warm and dry 2012, helped to save the lives of some motorcycle riders. According to The Governors Highway Safety Association, the number of motorcyclist fatalities during the first nine months of 2013 indicates that, for the entire year, fatalities declined by 7 percent from 2012. That decline was the first since 1997. But the reason for the decline, the GSHA said, was as gloomy as the weather itself. There was no increase in motorcycle or rider safety. Rather, 2012’s unusually warm and dry weather produced a spike in motorcycle riding and fatalities. The 2013 weather, cooler and wetter in most of the country, kept more motorcycles off the road for longer periods than in 2012. Overall, the report emphasized that motorcycle safety has not improved as automobile safety has improved dramatically. A car passenger was twice as safe in 2011 as in 1997, measured by fatalities per registered vehicle, whereas motorcycle safety remained consistent. In 2011, motorcycles accounted for six times more occupant fatalities per registration than passenger vehicles, even though most motorcycles carry only one or two people. Some of the fatal crashes involved speeding, some involved drinking and driving. But the most important factor, the report said, was whether the victim was wearing a helmet. “Helmets are 37 percent effective in preventing fatal injuries to motorcycle operators and 41 percent effective for passengers, the report said. “The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that helmets saved the lives of 1,617 motorcyclists in 2011. If all motorcyclists had worn helmets, an additional 703 lives could have been saved.” Yet only 19 states and the District of Columbia have universal helmet laws; 28 others require only younger and beginner riders to wear helmets. Virginia is one of the states to have univeral helmet laws. “By far, helmets are the single most effective way to prevent serious injury and death in the event of a motorcycle crash,” said Kendell Poole, GHSA chairman and director of the Tennessee Office of Highway Safety. Virginia is among the states that have gone in the right direction. Lawmakers did the right thing in having mandatory helmet use so that we are not just relying on the weather to reduce the carnage.

Security upgrades planned for VSU

irginia State University plans to spend about $1 million to improve campus security. The money to be spent is intended to correct security deficiencies, including installing cameras and increasing lighting. A consultant brought in by the university identified the problems following the fatal shooting of one student and the stabbing of another in separate incidents last fall. Meanwhile, the state inspector general has assigned agents to review and monitor how the deficiencies are being corrected. The office plans to complete a status report before classes resume in the fall. The security improvements stemmed from a VSU Board of Visitors emergency meeting in November 2013 to address at least two violent incidents on campus, and a fight at a luncheon banquet that resulted in national headlines and the football team being banned from the playoffs. The emergency meeting came four days after VSU student Eric Wilkins Jr., 22, was shot and killed in front of a gated university apartment complex. During the university’s homecoming on Oct. 16, 2013, a melee and stabbing left one student with non-life threatening wounds to his leg. VSU President Keith Miller last year laid out a comprehensive framework to address violence, including hiring the consultant. The university has also made a push to promote safety awareness among the student body. The investment in campus safety is welcome by students, staff, faculty and members of the community that often frequent the university. And the community looks forward to a report by the state inspector general’s office on the status of the security improvements.

YOUR OPINIONS An unforgivable breach of faith at the VA To the Editor: The abuses and deceptions that have occurred across the Department of Veterans Affairs medical system are an unforgivable breach of faith with those who have worn our country’s uniform. Our veterans dedicated their lives and sacrificed their health for our country, only to have those entrusted with their care at home systemically fail them in the most horrific ways. While I have great respect for retired Gen. Eric Shinseki’s service to our country, I believe that Secretary Shinseki should resign and that the VA should begin to fix this broken system without delay. Also, this week I will vote on legislation, the Department of Veterans Affairs Management Accountability Act, H.R. 4031, to give the Secretary of the Department of Veterans Affairs the authority to remove employees of the Senior Executive Service, based on their performance, from government service completely or transfer them to another position within the current civil service system. It is in the interest of our veterans, and out of respect for their enormous sacrifices, that we must require that the problems within the VA are fully investigated, that we take whatever action necessary to correct the problems, and that we ensure the services our veterans need and depend on are being provided to them. Congressman Randy Forbes R-4th District Chesapeake, Va.

Action needed now to keep Colonial Heights neighborhoods clean To the Editor: I have attended two Colonial Heights City Council meetings recently at which poor property conditions were addressed by citizens. I would like to share my thoughts, which I shared with City Council at their April meeting. I find it very disheartening that in the city of Colonial Heights, or anywhere for that matter, that a person would not desire to live in a clean, healthy, safe, trash-free, and yes, attractive environment. Unfortunately, it has become obvious to me that there are those who do not. But fortunately, I believe they are a minority. Unfortunately, before moving to Colonial Heights I lived in a location, which was once a thriving community, succumbed to litter, trash, crime, low property values, unsightly structures, unlicensed vehicles and general deterioration. Fortunately, however, with the help of the news media, county officials, and other concerned citizens, we were able to restore some of what had been lost. Unfortunately, because of health issues within my family, I felt a need to relocate closer to them. So fortunately, that meant moving to Colonial Heights and no longer having to attend meetings, make phone calls, write letters, and

our neighbors as well as ourselves.

struggle for the right to live in a clean, healthy, safe, trash-free and yes, attractive environment. But apparently history, at least for me, does repeat itself. After living in Colonial Heights for almost 10 years, I’m seeing the same signs of neighborhood deterioration. While other communities are experiencing the same thing, I have heard that local ones, like Petersburg and Hopewell, are addressing them. Now is the time for us to step up and do the same, establishing ourselves as leaders on this front. On a recent Friday afternoon I rode through a few streets of Sherwood Hills, once the pride of Colonial Heights, and one does not need to look very hard to see the signs of decline. They ranged from trash receptacles still on the street or in front yards two days after pickup, to generally unkept property, to that one deplorable situation that most everyone is aware of among the nice homes there. It has been suggested that things can be done by individuals to remedy these situations without bureaucratic interference. I can remember a time when that was true and a suggestion to your neighbor was a simple solution. But in today’s climate where people know little or nothing about their neighbors, tempers run high, and individuals lack the self-respect or initiative to maintain their property but are eager to defend their lack of responsibility, what is the recourse? Action needs to be taken now to both enforce and strengthen existing codes and ordinances as well as to re-write or create new ones to address these increasing maintenance problems. I firmly believe that failure for us to do so will drive desirable residents from the city, decrease property values, and limit potential home sales, resulting in lower city revenues and neighborhoods that will attract even more temporary residents as well as crime. In our current economy, where some people are being forced to sell their homes to avoid foreclosure, can they afford to lose a sale because of unsightly, unkept and unhealthy conditions nearby? This is not an issue of haves or have-nots, minorities or majorities, high grass or manicured lawns, apartments or single-family houses, rental or home ownership, nor votes or re-elections. The bottom line is that this is an issue of city pride, neighborhood decency, and respect — respect for

Sterling Hawkins Colonial Heights

Americans should ostracize bigots To the Editor: The despicable remarks by Robert Copeland, a police commissioner, Wolfeboro, NH; Donald Sterling, owner of the Los Angeles Clippers; Kanye West, singer; Louis Farrakhan, spokesman for Nation of Islam; Clevin Bundy, Nevada rancher; and Glenn Miller, Kansas killer and Ku Klux Klan member; show there are still ignorant radicals in this country. People who espouse these beliefs are failures in one or more facets of life. They are uneducated or undereducated, might have been abused when younger, might have significant marriage or family problems, or have not been successful in the world, or think they can say or do anything because of their presumptive power. The common trait of the bigots is they have some form of jealousy for the success of people they hate. Their bigotry makes them feel more important by putting down other people. Although we continue to have some bigotry in this country, things have improved, and it is less prevalent compared to many other countries in the world. However, we have to continue to eliminate discrimination and bigotry in matters of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual preference, weaknesses and disabilities. This is everyone’s responsibility. Bigots should be ferreted out and ostracized from civil society. Donald A. Moskowitz Londonderry, N.H.

Police officers, families sacrifice for us To the Editor: Last week’s somber memorial for the Tri-Cities area’s fallen police officers was a needed reminder that our local law enforcers enter harm’s way each day to keep our communities safe. From traffic patrol duty to undercover narcotics investigations, our officers put their lives on the line to ensure that we have a secure environment in which we can live, work, and send our children to school without fear. Unfortunately, this security has come at a price for many police officers and their families in the Tri-Cities area and across the country. To honor these officers, our own Congressman Randy Forbes recently supported legislation that will permit the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund to build a museum dedicated to the remembrance of the nation’s fallen officers. Although we have lost these officers, we will never lose the memories of their service and sacrifice. Brandon Howard Chairman, Hopewell Republican Committee Hopewell

the state of Virginia were displayed on banners by soldiers from Fort Lee. This was a part of the Virginia Fallen Hero Banner Project, started by Joanne Duncan in 2012 in honor of her Gold Star parents. Her brother was killed in Vietnam on Aug. 2, 1969. “It’s a part of the healing process for us all so that a face will be put with the names and we will not let the public forget,” Duncan said. “This is just my small way of saying thank you to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, it’s just my little part of the world where I can do something to say ‘thank you.’” Vice Mayor Diane H. Yates also spoke of these men and women who have served. In quoting former President Ronald Reagan in her speech, she defined a hero. “I say look around

Each of you that has served our country are heroes. You gave much of yourself so that we could continue to enjoy the freedom President Reagan spoke of about 30 years ago,” Yates said. “Each spouse, parent and child of a loved one who has served for our country or is serving are heroes for they too have sacrificed. Today, as we remember our fallen, reflect on how different our lives

would be without our men and women who willingly put their lives on the line each day to protect us.” In honoring these heroes, prominent members of the community and members of Gold Star families laid wreaths to honor those who were unable to return from duty. This was followed by refreshments sponsored by the American Legion Post 284.

NEW FLAGS FOR THE BRIDGE

In Memory JESSIE B. CONNETT

ward, 87, of Colonial Heights, passed away on Saturday, May 24, 2014. Born on Aug. 14, 1926, in Apex, N.C., he was the son of the late John Claude and Ruth Wilson Harward, and the widower of Mary Frances Williams Harward. Mr. Harward was a member of Calvary Baptist Church, Petersburg, and attended West End Baptist Church, Dinwiddie.

Power lunch

Business women share a meal and discuss tackling leadership positions BY LEAH SMALL STAFF WRITER

COLONIAL HEIGHTS — Local business women put their heads together to find ways to seize and excel in leadership positions, during a luncheon hosted by Petersburg Chamber of Commerce entitled “The Glass Ceiling or the Glass Cage.” The intimate group of about 30 gathered at the Hilton Garden Inn. The discussion featured panelists Audrey Bollinger, retired president of People’s Advantage Federal Credit Union; Renee ChaplineWyatt, CEO of Virginia Gateway Region; and Suzanne Jackson, CEO of John Randolph Medical Center. Cheryl Cruise, owner and lead consultant for Moving Forward Agency, a holistic consulting organization, moderated the discussion, which focused on issues such as balancing work and family life. These issues can keep women from becoming executives and improving the workplace. Bollinger said being a woman motivated her to strive to the level of CEO, even though it was unexpected. “I didn’t intend to be the CEO of a credit union, but

Audrey Bollinger, retired president of Peoples Advantage Credit Union, listens as Renee ChaplineWyatt, CEO of Virginia Gateway Region, speaks during a panel discussion on “the glass ceiling or the glass cage.” The panel was part of the Women in Business program held May 21 at the Hilton Garden Inn. only one man was an example of the lack of effort that often goes into promoting diversity. “If there’s going to be a diverse environment, there has to be a diverse voice,” she said. The hospital CEO said companies have to actively make hiring changes if more women and minorities are going to occupy executive positions in a number on par with white males. She said if two job applicants are equal in skill and qualifications, but one is of a race or sex not greatly represented in a company, he or she should be chosen. “The seats at the table aren’t going to change by chance,” she said. The obstacle of balancing home life and work for female executives was also addressed. Chapline-Wyatt stressed

the importance of couples sharing domestic responsibilities. “If you are married, make your marriage partner be a real partner,” she said. Bollinger said the stress of both a husband and wife working makes it necessary to divide domestic responsibilities. “If you want to reap the benefits of dual income, you have to have dual responsibility,” she said. “It’s just that — it’s dual.” • Leah Small may be reached at 722-5172 or lsmall@progress-index.com.

Making art is Katherine Bartley’s ‘fun job’ BY ROBERT PARLIER CORRESPONDENT

rtist Katherine Bartley gives credit for her interest in art to her mentor, Margie Wood, who is a watercolorist whose work is shown at the Side Street Gallery in Colonial Heights. Wood has been painting for over 35 years and keeps Bartley motivated. Bartley has never shown her work for judging and has received no awards, but she has sold her work at annual Fort Clifton Art Festival. When people see her work, Bartley hopes they see joy in her pictures of cats and other animals, and that the landscapes remind them of someplace in their memory, Bartley paints and draws for fun. If someone sees something they want, she often gives it away, especially to children. If a piece has taken a long amount of time, she may place a cost on it. Her future plans are to continue art for the joy of doing, not for the possibility of a business. This has become her “fun job” after her retirement as a courtroom clerk. Bartley still considers herself an amateur and hopes to improve her work every day. She would like everyone to know that “you too” can draw and paint: Just pick up a pencil or brush (with a little paint), and enjoy. Bartley’s work is being shown in the Side Street Gallery in Colonial Heights. She would love to have visitors come and see her paintings and the work of other artists.
