Soldiers attack hot dogs during a fun contest

othing says summer fun than a hot dog eating contest. And when you combine a hot dog eating contest with members of the Armed Forces, well, that’s about as American as you can get. Recently, eight men and women at Fort Lee competed in Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest qualifying round. All were new to competitive eating, but tried out tricks from the pros, such as dipping the bun in water, two hot dogs in each hand and gulping water between bites. Only one man and one woman were left standing at the end of the competition though, and they’ll be on their way to Coney Island in July. Each man and woman competing just had to out-eat their Fort Lee competitors to win a spot to compete at Coney Island. “The champion [in 2013 at Coney Island] has eaten 69 in 10 minutes ... Typically in a regional contest you see around 20, this may be a little fewer just because they’re all rookies,” said Richard Shea, president of Major League Eating. Five men and three women competed in the 10-minute long contest. Chan Yau was the top dog in the contest and winner for the men, eating 12 hot dogs. Command Sgt. Maj. Sheila Nelson was the top female eater with five hot dogs. Nathan’s has been hosting the eating contest for 98 years. Shea said. It was Nathan’s first stop at Fort Lee and that it’s the only military base stop on the qualifying rounds tour. It was great that Nathan’s picked out Fort Lee as part of its qualifying round for the July 4th hot dog eating contest. Now two Fort Lee soldiers will be part of the grand summer tradition of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest — let’s hope they’re hungry that day.

Petersburg law officer forgotten no longer

fter more than a century lost in the pages of Petersburg history, a local law enforcement officer has a fitting tribute to his public sacrifice. The Petersburg Sheriff’s Office last month unveiled a monument to John Minetree Jr., the former high constable of the city, who died more than 125 years ago. The monument was unveiled during the office’s inaugural Law Enforcement Memorial Service that was attended by a gathering of mostly city officials and law enforcement. According to two July 1881 articles in The ProgressIndex, Minetree died on July 20, 1881, as a result of a head injury he sustained two days prior when he was thrown from his buggy into a ditch after his horse was spooked. Minetree was on official duty at the time. The article detailing his death stated that Minetree “was about 45 years of age” and left behind “a widow and six young children.” Minetree was appointed to his post in the spring of 1880 and was replaced after his death by his brother W.D. Minetree, who had previously served as deputy high constable. The unveiling was attended by several descendants of Minetree, who placed flowers on the stone monument in front of the Petersburg Sheriff’s Office. Peggy Martin Newcomb, a great-great-granddaughter of Minetree’s, said that she had heard that a distant relative was involved in law enforcement but never knew the exact history. “I really never knew the exact lineage, so it was very exciting to find out about,” she said. Not many people knew about Constable Minetree — in many ways he had been lost to history. But know his sacrifice serving the people of Petersburg is now properly being recognized.

The Petersburg Sheriff’s Office has unveiled a monument to John Minetree Jr., former high constable of the city, who died more than 125 years ago.

A Confederate flag is raised, but can we get past taking offense? To the Editor:

The Virginia Flaggers recently erected another commemoration to the memory of the Confederate States of America (CSA) soldiers who fought and died at Chancellorsville, the Wilderness, Fredericksburg, and other battles in that area. They have ensured that a flag, flown by CSA units in those battles, flies alongside Interstate 95 in Fredericksburg. Of course, the expected hue and cry of those offended has again risen; primarily fomented by the Richmond mainstream media and certain always malcontent citizens of the area. To those people I say: you have no legal right, constitutional or legislative, nor any reason, to be offended, not only about flying the Confederate flag, but about anything in life, other than you choose to allow yourself to be. You just as easily may choose: to be quiet about it, allow yourself to be unaffected by it, or any other such personal non-reactions. Should you choose to be offended, I, and others with CSA ancestors, will choose to simply not care about your offense. So, the way I see it, we cancel each other out; so why expend the energy, angst, and stress to publicize your feelings of offense? If you stop, “we” will have no reaction whatsoever, and everyone lives peacefully. Let me finish by reminding the readers that not a single, zero, slave was ever transported to America under a CSA flagged vessel; however, one of the flags that did fly over those vessels was the USA flag. Think of that as you commemorate slavery sites in Virginia and what flag you fly. We will now, yesterday, and in the future, always continue to honor our ancestors who fought for states rights, adherence to the Constitution and at the request of their Virginia governor and legislators. Let’s bring some common sense back into our lives, this state and this country, by just being concerned with living life the best we can, and let some commemorate slavery, should they choose, and others commemorate their ancestors, if they so choose, with no offense chosen by any.

Sgt. Bergdahl is now at home. And soon will be the Taliban. The Obama administration’s decision to trade five detainees from the Guantanamo Bay detention center in exchange for POW Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has sparked concern and outrage across the country. It’s not hard to see why. The administration’s action violates a long-held principle that our government will not enter into negotiations with a terrorist organization. Such negotiations carry great risk. In this particular case, the individuals in the exchange included senior Taliban leaders who, according to a 2008 Pentagon dossier, were known to be high

risk for an attack on the U.S. if they were released. They will be held in Qatar for a year, but we know little about what will happen to them after that point. Under the National Defense Authorization Act, the president is required to notify Congress in advance of freeing any detainee held at Guantanamo Bay. In this case, he did not. The administration has defended its decision saying the president used a signing statement (a controversial tool used to oppose sections of a law because they are believed to violate constitutional separation of powers) to allow himself the ability to circumvent the notification provision. Still, many question the legality of that action – including members of Congress from both sides of the aisle. Beyond that, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said in 2013, “As we have long said, however, we would not make any decisions about transfer of any detainees without consulting with Congress and without doing so in accordance with U.S. law.” At best, the President went back on his word. At worst, he broke the law. On one hand, the Bergdahl-Taliban trade seems to fit the administration’s method of operation. It is another bad decision in a string of very bad decisions. Too often, the American people have come to the point in the Obama administration where they have had to ask the questions: “Is this within the legal scope of the presidency?” Or “How much did the administration really know? And when?” The situations that led to those questions — the Benghazi scandal, unilateral changes to the immigration and health care laws, the scandal at the IRS, manipulation at the VA — are bad enough. One by one, they have chipped away at what little trust remains in our government institutions. A sitting president is supposed to be trustworthy, even if we disagree with him. We want our presidents to rise above, but at the very least, we expect them to be honest and uphold the law. But the Bergdahl-Taliban case? It is more than erosion of trust. It’s more than carelessness. It’s more than a bad decision. It’s a dangerous decision that sets a terrible precedent. The moment the administration approved the trade of Taliban leaders for Sgt. Bergdahl, a message rang out to terrorist organizations around the world that you can kidnap Americans and the United States will do business with you. It emboldened Islamic extremists. It added fuel to the idea that the ticket to getting what you want from

our country is to play hardball with American lives. The Bergdahl-Taliban trade puts Americans around the world at risk. Although we are glad to see any American released from the hands of enemy forces, the manner in which the deal was brokered is raising alarms across the country. In the coming weeks, we will learn more details about the case, including more about Sgt. Bergdahl himself, as well as the reasons that led to the administration’s decision for the trade. The Obama White House will have a lot of questions to answer. One truth will hang over every question, every explanation, and every detail of this case: doing business with terrorists sets a precedent that we cannot afford. Sgt. Bergdahl is now at home. And soon will be the Taliban. And the question we must ask now is whether the trade was worth the lives it puts at stake. Congressman Randy Forbes R-4th District Chesapeake, Va.

Republicans must stand united in order to defeat Sen. Warner To the Editor: Below is a letter I sent out to the Hopewell Republican Committee: If you have not yet heard, Ed Gillespie won the Republican nomination at the Virginia Republican Convention on Saturday. Congratulations to Ed for his victory! Shak Hill tapped out in a very dramatic and honorable way. Hill came on center stage with RPV Chairman Mullins and made a short speech and followed up by making a motion to the convention to nominate Gillespie as our Senate candidate. It was a sight to see for all who could not be at the convention. Now we have the hard work ahead of us to pull together as one force, “To elect Ed to the Senate!” It does not matter if you are right, center, or left of the party; tea party or establishment, we are still all Republicans! It is up to us, the Republican Party of Virginia, to take on this fight. We must come together and back Ed Gillespie For Senate if we ever want to see the day with a Senate missing Mark Warner, President Obama’s go ahead vote on ObamaCare and 98 percent of Obama’s and the left’s tyrant Harry Reid’s liberty robbing, freedom stealing, economic destroying polices! I stand today as a Shak Hill supporter who gave him my public endorsement for his run for the nomination, and with Gillespie’s nomination for Senate I give my full support, backing, and public endorsement to Ed Gillespie! Fellow Republicans stand tall and proud with me in supporting our Senate candidate and help all of Virginia and America by electing Ed Gillespie to the United States Senate! Let’s send a message to Obama and D Reid that we Virginians will not long stand for the socialistic polices and agendas by sending Mark Warner packing!

group was catching. After his best efforts he gave the pole over to Kevin, the therapist who organized the trip, to reel in the fish. With the group crowded in around him, Kevin fought the fish to bring it in. As the fish came closer and closer to being brought to the surface anticipation built. Then the line snapped to everyone’s dismay. Uncertainty surrounds what it may have been. Some say flounder, some say trout, and some even whisper shark. What is certain is that a fishing story was born that day the residents and staff at Colonial Heights Healthcare and Rehabilitation will retell for years to come. • This article was written and submitted by Colonial Heights Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center.

City elections slate set Filing deadline was June 10 FROM STAFF REPORTS

COLONIAL HEIGHTS — City Council and the School Board will have new faces this fall, although the elections will likely be uncontested. Three people are running for three seats on City Council, while two candidates have filed for two School Board slots. John E. Piotrowski, a long-time employee of E. Alvin Small Funeral Home & Crematory in Colonial Heights, is running for City Council.

“I was raised in Colonial Heights and I’ve always loved Colonial Heights,” Piotrowski said. “I have two young children and I want to preserve what those who have come before me have done.” He hopes to maintain a high quality of life and strong public safety in the city. Running for re-election are Mayor C. Scott Davis and Councilor John T. Wood. Councilor Milton Freeland, who was first elected in 2002, did not file to run. There are no wards in Colonial Heights, so all three men should be elected, barring a successful write-in campaign.

Krishan Agrawal, a professor at Virginia State University, and Richard “Mike” Yates are running for two open seats on the School Board. Yates, who retired in 2009 after a 34-year career at Colonial Heights High School, was first elected in 2010 and has served as vice chair and chair. Cindy Shortlidge did not file for re-election. The filing deadline for local candidates was Tuesday, June 10. Voters will also choose between incumbent U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, a Democrat, or Republican Ed Gillespie; and incumbent U.S. Rep. J. Randy Forbes, R-Va., or his challenger Democrat Elliott Fausz of Chester.

Man Hunt game COLONIAL HEIGHTS — The city’s Recreation & Parks Department will sponsor a Community Man Hunt game from 5:45 to 8 p.m. Saturday at Fort Clifton Park, located at 100 Brockwell Lane. Man Hunt is a game similar to tag. Different versions may be played during this event depending on the amount of time it takes to end a game. Game rules will be explained prior to starting. Game participants must be 12 or older. All participants 18 and older and all parents of participants younger than 18 must sign a waiver to play. Waivers are provided the night of the event.

Traveling replica offers communities an opportunity to pay their respects to Americans who served during the Vietnam War BY LEAH SMALL STAFF WRITER

he Wall that Heals, a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, aims to bring a little comfort to hometowns across the country. Its latest stop: Colonial Heights. City residents came to the wall’s opening ceremony May 29 in the parking lot of Southpark Mall to pay their respects to the over 3 million Americans that served during the Vietnam War. Following the ceremony, a handful lingered to search for the names of brothers, friends and other service members lost. They slowly traced their fingers down the columns of over 58,000 names until they found what they were searching for. Delano Lily, who served in the Vietnam War with the Army’s 114th Helicopter Assault Unit, was among those searching for names. “In helps me. One person that I served with that I thought was deceased, his name wasn’t on the wall,” he said. The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund’s 250-foot aluminum replica gives those who don’t have the opportunity to travel to Washington D.C., the chance to come close to the experience. Since the

In April 1999, the wall also toured Ireland and Canada in 2005. The memorial is accompanied by a mobile museum with photos of service members displayed whose names are found on the wall. An overview of the Vietnam War and memorabilia left at the actual Vietnam Veterans Memorial are also included. For its stay in Colonial Heights, the replica was in the parking lot of Southpark Mall until June 1 and could be viewed from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. each day. There was no

admission charge. To welcome the wall, Paul Galanti, commissioner of the Virginia Department of Veteran’s Services, spoke of his own experience as a prisoner of war to the gathering of state, local and military officials, as well as veterans, members of the American Legion and others. Galanti was a naval pilot during the conflict and flew 97 missions in his A-4 Skyhawk before being shot down and captured on June 17, 1966. He was a prisoner of war of the North Vietnamese for nearly seven years and was released on Feb. 12, 1973.

Galanti said that he knew the names of many of those memorialized on the wall. “This wall has special meaning to me,” he said. “Not a day goes by when I don’t think of what they had to do and what they had to put up with.” The actual Vietnam Veterans Memorial, located in Washington D.C., honors 3 million Americans who served during the Vietnam War. It is also the most visited memorial in the city with over 4 million visitors each year. • Leah Small may be reached at 722-5172 or lsmall@progress-index. com.
