Fire hydrant flushing The Utility Division of Colonial Heights Department of Public Works will be testing and flushing fire hydrants throughout the city starting Aug. 18 and continuing through Oct. 22. You may experience some discolored water when the flushing is being conducted in your area. If this should happen, first run the cold water in your bathtub for about 15 to 20 minutes. If the problem does not clear up within this time period, contact the Utilities Division at 804-520-9393 between 7:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. After hours or weekends, call the Police Department at 804-520-9300 and they will dispatch Utility personnel to your home or business. The city is being divided into four sections for flushing purposes. The first area to see flushing is the southeast section, Aug. 18 through Sept. 2, east of I-95, from Ellerslie/ Yacht Basin, south to E. Roslyn Road.

or three weeks teens from Chesterfield and Colonial Heights have worked in the heat to push wheelbarrows filled with gravel, shovel it onto trails and clear trails with pick axes at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield County. David Yeager, park ranger, said the nine teens participating in the Youth Service Corps have worked from about 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the park from July 21 to Aug. 8. “They’re probably so sick of a shovel and a wheelbarrow now they don’t want to see it again,” he said, estimating that they’ve spread about 16 tons of gravel. He said some of the teens in the program “are more at an at-risk situation and come from a variety of backgrounds.” Many are referred to the program by school counselors or probation officers. To graduate, the teens must complete the program by showing up every day, being a hard worker, obeying rules and respecting each other. If they make it through the program, they graduate from it and earn $500.

Tori Henderson, Victoria Brizendine and fellow members of the Youth Service Corps chop and remove roots from a mountain bike trail at Pocahontas State Park on Friday morning, Aug. 8. However, “it’s not all work, but they have to earn the privileges,” Yeager said. Some of the privileges included a ropes course, time at the pool, visiting a science museum and canoeing. Yeager said he enjoys working with the kids and being productive in the work that they do. “We’ve got over 80 miles of trails and we don’t have enough manpower to keep

those trails cleared, so the benefit to the park is the productivity of maintenance, but the benefit to the kids is teaching them job skills and responsibility, as well as teamwork,” he said. Scott Dando, 17, of Colonial Heights was referred to the Youth Service Corps by his probation officer. His probation Please see TRAILS, Page 3

Artist shines when it comes to history

enry Kidd is a nationally recognized artist. Kidd, who has been a life-long resident of Colonial Heights, has his work displayed at West Point, Virginia Military Institute, Mariner’s Museum, Museum of the Confederacy, Petersburg National Battlefield and the Virginia Historical Society. But Kidd’s artwork has recently focused on the Civil War, due to the conflict’s 150th anniversary. Kidd had an exhibit — “American History Through Art Concentrated in the Civil War” that just came off of display at the Petersburg Area Art League. The exhibit included more KIDD than 80 pieces in graphite, color pencil, acrylic paints or sculptures. “Petersburg is always special to me. A lot of my artwork revolves around the Siege of Petersburg and for me to have it up here, especially during the anniversary of the most famous battle — the Battle of the Crater — I’m actually quite honored,” he said. Because Kidd grew up in the area, he’s always been surrounded by the rich history here and played on the Petersburg battlefields as a child. His mother even saved crayon drawings he made in the second grade of Confederate soldiers. “I have literally been combining art and history all my life. They’re my two greatest loves I think, besides my family,” Kidd said. His family history is what sparked his interest in the Civil War. His great-grandfather was a Confederate soldier in the 13th North Carolina Infantry. Currently Kidd is the official artist for the 150th Gettysburg re-enactment. He designed the Confederate Medal of Honor and his work has appeared in documentaries on the History Channel and numerous book and magazine covers. The Petersburg area is known for its history and for its art community. Henry Kidd combines both to enrich our culture and community.

Dam project will improve Appomattox River

ork is underway to remove a dam on the Appomattox River that Virginia officials say will benefit native fish. The removal of the privately-owned Harvell Dam in Petersburg comes two years after the project was first discussed. Removing the dam will reopen 127 miles of upstream habitat for migratory fish, such as American and hickory shad, the American eel, and river herring, according to the state Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The project is also expected to enhance recreational boating and fishing, providing an estimated $68 million economic boost to the area, according to the state agency. The dam, which is privately owned by Bill Patton, is being demolished by a grant from the state. The total cost for the project is approximately $500,000, according to Alan Weaver, with the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Weaver said the dam didn’t have to be purchased from Patton, the owner, and Patton agreed to the project with the department. There have been discussions since 2012 to demolish the dam — which is west of the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Bridge and east of Campbell’s Bridge — so two species of fish could reach their spawning sites further up the Appomattox River. The dam needed to be removed due to declining populations of American shad and river herring in 2012. The dam has two fish ladders, but neither allowed the fish to get upstream to their spawning locations. The removal of the dam will allow the river to be restored to its natural condition, which will help the fish gain passage upstream. In addition, there will be no maintenance costs related to fish passageways. It’s less expensive to demolish the dam than doing the necessary repairs to the existing fish way, according to Weaver. The dam was originally constructed to generate hydropower. It will be the sixteenth dam removed within the Chesapeake Bay watershed in Virginia since 2004. Removing the Harvell Dam makes sense on a number of fronts. First, it will help replenish two species of fish. Second it will make fishing on the river better and also allow greater recreational use of the river. The economic benefits of removing the dam are significant — the state estimates a $68 million economic boost to the area. And finally, it makes economic sense in that it will cost less to remove the dam than try to maintain fish passageways. For all these reasons, the removal of the Harvell Dam is a welcome move so that there is greater recreational use of the Appomattox River.

YOUR OPINIONS

The right thing to do also depends on resources To the Editor: In reference to the July 22, 2014, article “300 mile trek to lobby for Medicaid” — I have had enough proclamations from Democrats that “such and such is the right thing to do” (as one Petersburg City Council member stated in the article), without my commenting. It appears to me that Democrats use this phrase much more than conservatives. There are probably thousands of “right things to do” in this world; the answer to whether you do them is: do you have the resources with which to pay for them? Simply because society might judge morally or ethically a certain course of action, reality dictates that you should only get that for which you can pay. Bankrupt cities, like Detroit, are proof that in the end nothing good comes from providing services from which payment is not commensurate. The growing trillions of dollars in debt of the US is another example. Virginia was once the envy of all states because of its “pay as you go” government fiscal policy; as a too much taxed taxpayer, oh how I long for that to be true in the commonwealth of today. Jesse L. Harrup Jr. Colonial Heights

Criticism of Hobby Lobby ruling is disturbing To the Editor: I am bothered by the fierce criticism of the Supreme Court Hobby Lobby ruling. I can’t believe that so many were willing to force religious business owners to violate some of their most deeply-held beliefs, but I suppose that is a sign of our time. Today, our right to free exercise is constantly under attack, and nothing is sacred to its opponents. Even the crosses that stand at our veterans’ memorials frequently face legal challenges. Our representative Congressman Randy Forbes has done much to protect our religious freedoms at the legislative level. As founder and co-chair of the Congressional Prayer Caucus, he has worked to protect the integrity of our veterans’ memorials as well as long-held traditions like public prayer. During both the Hobby Lobby case and the earlier challenge to public prayer, he led efforts to submit amicus briefs to the Supreme Court in defense of our religious liberties. Although so many of the battles for our religious freedoms end up in the courts, we cannot forget the important role that our legislators play. Congressman Forbes has set an excellent example, and I hope that our other representatives will join his cause. Jim McGinn Colonial Heights

CH recreation director is doing a great job To the Editor:

in the news media. They appear overjoyed with the circus around the trial, with no concern of the effects on the innocent and the not so innocent. We do not know all the facts involved. As the trial began, we only know what the federal prosecutors have chosen to tell the media to bolster their case and the response of the McDonnells to counter weigh those releases. However, I find it very interesting that the decision makers in Washington, who have determined that no crime occurred at the IRS or with the murders stemming from the “Fast and Furious” gunrunning case on the Mexican border, have brought charges against a governor who might have simply wanted to help a Virginia business. One piece of “evidence” is that the president of a Virginia company was invited to a luncheon at the governor’s mansion in which the company awarded research grants to Virginia universities. During the same period, the company was having Mrs. McDonnell travel to other states to promote a Virginia product. As one columnist put it “... the governor ate, drank, and breathed Virginia, why would he not want any Virginia company to do well, grow, expand and hire more Virginians?” This is where a real problem arises for future governors and others. If focused on economic development and creating jobs, what steps can be taken that promote that business without being accused of wrong doing? When a sitting governor invites an actress — who might have been a financial supporter — to the governor’s mansion for a social event, and in the course of the visit encourages her to use Virginia as her next site location, has he improperly used a state asset — the mansion? In my opinion, the answer is no. But based on the charges against the former governor, it might be illegal. Suppose a county official has a prospect visit, and after the formal presentation has been made, he invites him to a non-business activity. If he uses a county vehicle to take the prospect, is the law being broken? To be consistent with this Justice Department, the answer might be, possibly. Most Virginians agree that a major role of a governor is to promote the state. His cabinet and department heads handle the nuts and bolts of the state’s day to day business. That cannot be done with economic development. Major companies expect to have the governor of any state make the case for investing in their state. That role cannot be delegated. Consider when Apple Computer focused on a site in Mecklenburg and then-Gov. Tim Kaine did not meet with them while the governor of North Carolina did. They chose North Carolina. One year later, when Microsoft looked

Whenever officials of our city, state or nation do something that we don’t like or agree with we complain about it, myself included. That’s the way it should be. However, how often do we take the time to say thanks when they do something that pleases us? I’m writing this letter to say thanks to Craig Skalak, director of Recreation and Parks in Colonial Heights, for the outstanding job he is doing. The improvements he has made since taking over the director’s job are evident for everyone to see. Shepherd Stadium is in the best shape I have ever seen and the improvements are wonderful. All the ball diamonds, Fort Clifton, White Bank Park and satellite playgrounds and ballfields are well kept and manicured. One only has to read the city newsletter to see that he has put together a program that provides for people of all ages. Often, when top-type jobs such as this comes open, city officials will go outside to hire someone. Someone in Colonial Heights made the decision to give the “local” guy a chance. I’d say, “local guy makes good.” Thanks Craig for a job well done. Roland Fontaine Colonial Heights

We have a right to bear arms in America To the Editor: Recently, a federal district court ruled that Washington D.C.’s ban on carrying handguns outside of the home was unconstitutional, and gun control activists are already coming out of the woodwork to discredit the court’s holding. These activists have their arguments, but they all run aground on a simple fact: The right to bear arms is a constitutionally-protected right. Since our nation’s founding, the Second Amendment has declared that “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Our Congressman Randy Forbes is standing up for our constitutional right. Right now, he is working to reign in the maze of restrictions that threaten gun owner privacy and is fighting to protect the law-abiding citizen’s ability to carry a concealed weapon. I’m glad that Congressman Forbes recognizes that, in the end, it’s the average American who pays the price under these restrictions and not dangerous criminals. G.A. Pelfrey Colonial Heights

House of Delegates leaders tour veterans care center Del. Kirk Cox requested visit to help re-generate efforts to build two additional care centers in the state RICHMOND — Several special guests graced the halls of Sitter & Barfoot Veterans Care Center recently. The visit was requested by Del. Kirk Cox, R-Colonial Heights/Chesterfield. Focused on doubling the number of care center beds in Virginia, Cox, House Majority Leader, arranged the facility tour to help re-generate efforts to build two additional facilities. “I wanted to refresh key players on how this modern care center really meets the needs of our aging veterans,” Cox said. Since opening in 2007, Sitter & Barfoot Veterans Care Center has provided long-term care and rehabilitative care for eligible veterans. And now, the 160-bed facility, co-located with the Hunter Holmes McGuire veterans hospital, has a 40bed addition slated to open early in 2015 that will be one of the most “state of the art” facilities in the nation. Cox was joined on the tour by Del. Riley Ingram,

Gillespie is also the Republican candidate for the United States Senate.

The purpose of the visit lation for a new care center was to update delegates on in Northern Virginia. “We have a long docucurrent activities at the center, explore ways they mented need for the care can assist in acquiring centers and we have identiadditional care centers for fied the available funds for Hampton Roads and North- Virginia’s 35 percent share e r n Vi r g i n i a , a n d t o of the construction costs,” improve support for cur- Cox said. “I’m looking for rent centers.

CBC Americans’ Lucas Carmichael bats against the CBC Nationals during the 2014 Boys Invitational Baseball Tournament championship game on Aug. 9. FROM STAFF REPORTS

COLONIAL HEIGHTS — Corey Adams drew a basesloaded walk in the bottom of the seventh inning, lifting CBC American to its third Boys Invitational Baseball championship since 2008 with a 4-3 victory over CBC National on Aug. 9 at Shepherd Stadium. CBC American’s Cole Peck was named tournament MVP after hitting .384 with a home run and five RBIs. He also struck out 10 batters while serving pitching duties. The outcome denied CBC National its third consecutive BIB title. The Matoaca Indians defeated the Tidewater Diamonds 7-6 in the third-place game.

questions. The visit also included a tour of the McGuire veterans hospital care wing for older veterans. Dr. Catherine Kelso, chief, Geriatrics and Extended Care, escorted the group’s McGuire visit. She explained that McGuire residents fall into three distinct groups – World War II, Vietnam and recent veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan conflict — each group with different needs. The facility provides a Community Living Center, Home and Community Care, Geriatrics Health Care Center, and Palliative Care. In addition, McGuire tries to place as many veterans as possible at care facilities in their local communities to be close to families and friends. Sandra Ranicki, Sitter & Barfoot administrator, led the care center tour. She said the care center is a single-level facility that presently has 160 single-

occupancy rooms in three nursing units: two 60-bed skilled nursing care units and one 40-bed secure Alzheimer’s dementia unit with enclosed courtyards. The new 40 bed addition will be used for skilled nursing care, she said. Following the tour, the group received an update from Steve Combs, director of Policy, Planning and Legislative Affairs, Department of Veteran Services, on the federal Veterans Administration protocol used to fund new care facilities. Cox then led the discussion on actions Virginia can take to get the required federal funding for the two new care centers. Delegate Anderson, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel, updated the group on ongoing activities to secure land for the planned care center in Northern Virginia. He delivered a strong message, “Construction of the NOVA Care Center is crucial to providing services to those who have worn the cloth of the country. Prince William is home to 50,000 veterans and is an ideal venue for a facility

which takes on added significance because of the challenges at the federal Veterans Administration in servicing the needs of our nation’s warriors.” He also noted Del. Chris Stolle, R-Virginia Beach, is working on finding a location for the Hampton Roads Veterans Care Center. Possible follow-on actions range from a General Assembly Resolution expressing the General Assembly’s concern with the lack of adequate care centers, to asking the Virginia congressional delegation to sponsor special legislation, to getting a Virginia congressional member on a Veteran Affairs committee. Attendees were pleased to hear Gillespie say, “When I see the members of Virginia’s congressional delegation as I travel the commonwealth on the campaign trail, I will urge them to renew their efforts to secure the federal funds Virginia needs for Hampton Roads and Northern Virginia. Due to the fact that Virginia set aside funds for the projects, and

prospects are very good for two build sites, what we need now is action from Washington.” Ingram, speaking for all attendees, thanked Commissioner Galanti and his staff “for a most informative visit that will help our efforts to get federal dollars for two additional care centers.” There were two other special attendees at the meeting. Retired U.S. Army Col. Don Kaiserman, chairman of the Joint Leadership Council of Veteran Service Organizations (JLC) was present to capture initiatives that the JLC could champion in the next session of the General Assembly, and retired U.S. Air Force Col. Al Pianalto, a Veterans Services Foundation member and Cox Legislative Aide for Military/Veteran Affairs, was there to see where the foundation could help the care centers. The foundation provides funding for activities, equipment, and help to indigent veterans when state and federal funding is lacking.

Renovated Family Medicine Clinic opens at Fort Lee Facility based on patient-centered medical home model BY KATHERINE JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

FORT LEE — Kenner Army Health Clinic welcomed the renovated Family Medicine Clinic with a ribbon cutting and tours of the facility Aug. 11. The clinic is based on a patientcentered medical home model, in WEST which patients have a health care provider in a team-based environment. Lt. Col. Kenneth West, chief, primary care division, said it’s wonderful to have the newly designed clinic. “It really helps us focus more on the patient and deliver services to them, and it greatly improves the patient flow throughout the clinic,” West said. West described the clinic as “one stop shopping for the patient,” because of embedded services offered

Mylanda Oliver, registered nurse and clinical care coordinator, leads a tour of the renovated Family Medicine Clinic at Kenner Army Health Clinic.
