City chosen to receive 1 of only 6 memorial markers in the state By Katherine Johnson Staff Writer

OLONIAL HEIGHTS — Barbara Hollister remembers the Blue Star ﬂags that hung proudly in countless windows during wars fought long ago. “I had two brothers in World War II and I know my parents had the two service ﬂags in the window. Thank goodness they stayed blue,” she said. “When you turn the flag over, there was a gold star and that was meant that the service man or woman did not come back home.” Hollister, who serves as Blue Star memorial chairperson

ELECTION Q&A

Krishan Agrawal, candidate for School Board Krishan Agrawal is a candidate for the Colonial Heights School Board and a professor at Virginia State University. Q: Tell us a bit about yourself: work, education, family and hobbies. A: I was born in India and raised in India. I taught for four years in a local college there, from 1962-66, before I came to Canada. I have a Ph.D in mathematics from the University of Windsor. I completed my Ph.D is 1969 and I was just married at that time. I came to Virginia State University and I’m here (residing in Colonial Heights) ever since.I’m married. My son works for the Food and Drug Administration. My daughter is a clinical social worker and

has a position at the University of Michigan. Q: What made you decide to run for office? A: I decided it’s time to give back to the community where I’ve lived for that long. My children have grown here, and I’m part of the city, so it’s time to give a little bit back to the city. This is one area where I feel comfortable. Q: What are the biggest issues facing city schools today, and in the near future? A: I think the picture for Colonial Heights under the current leadership is good. Our graduation rate is great. The … SOL scores are good. Special ed is strong. I’m going to create better balance in

the School Board. I feel that I have ideas and I have training to work with my team members to present some new ideas.What I’m ﬁnding is that young parents are still very cautious in moving to the city. I see a lot of my co-workers who come from different parts of the Richmond area. Evidently they’re not getting the message that Colonial Heights’ school system is good, and we can provide a high-end education. Q: What is your favorite thing about the city? A: Things are easily accessible. You don’t have to go through the span of driving for medical help, buying things for daily living. Your neighbors are friendly.

River trail system gets closer to becoming a reality

he Appomattox and James rivers are the recreational jewels of our region and anything that can be done to enhance those recreational opportunities is a positive development. A major effort to build an Appomattox River Trail System is ongoing and scheduled to be finished in late summer 2015. The system, when finished, will cost an estimated $1.5 million. Trail construction is in its third of four phases and will create a link from Interstate 95 to the Boulevard, lengthening it to 1.6 miles. The city plans for the trail to be a 2-mile corridor between Rosalyn Landing Park and Appamatuck Park. Construction on the trail system began in 2008 after responses to a city survey indicated that residents wanted green spaces for walking and recreation. Trail users have river access via a canoe and boat launch and the current construction phase features a river overlook with five interpretive signs on the history of the area. George Schanzenbacher, director of planning for the city, said that since the project began in 2008, nearly $1.2 million has been spent, about 20 percent of which has been paid by the city. The rest has been financed through grants from the Virginia Department of Transportation, the Cameron Foundation, the Cabell Foundation and a donation from a private owner. The final two phases will cost $682,970. All of the funding has been secured with the same percentage coming from local funding and grants from VDOT and both foundations. Completion of the trail is also dependent on a land exchange between the city and the owners of an office building that will be built on a 4-acre site at the intersection of Archer Avenue and the Boulevard and will be owned by A+ Properties Inc. Plans for the final phase of the trail are awaiting VDOT approval. In addition to the city, volunteers have been a prime component in establishing the river trail system. Volunteers from the Colonial Heights Appomattox RiverTrail System (CHARTS) have been instrumental in providing the labor for the project. City officials have praised the volunteers of CHARTS for their work and patience. When completed, the city will have almost 2 miles of trail along the Appomattox River. The Appomattox River Trail System provides a great recreational opportunity to the region. The trail system allows people to reconnect with the river. The trail system along the Appomattox River is a great recreational resource not just for the citizens of Colonial Heights, but for all in the region.

My dad taught me these 3 valuable things To the Editor: Sometimes the best advice doesn't come from a book, from a microphone, from behind a desk in Washington, or even from people who are leaders in their ﬁeld. Sometimes the best life lessons are found deep in the roots of where we came from. My dad passed away years ago, but I carry with me the lessons he taught me. Three in particular shape my perspective day after day: Little things make big things happen. Back when I was young, I remember we needed to build a new shed. Those were the days before stores like Home Depot or Lowes existed. Brand new lumber was expensive, so folks often reused materials that others in the community didn't need. That summer, Dad and I used the boards from an old abandoned barn – pulling them down one by one, ripping out the nails, and taking off the tin and straightening it to reuse. We hauled our supplies back to the house and got to work. I don’t know how much of a help I really was, but I chose to stay beside Dad the entire time working alongside him. The sun was hot that day, and sweat beads formed on our faces. I stood there and handed him every nail that went into that shed – one by one. Dad made me feel proud of my work. Even though I just handed him nails, he always emphasized how we built the new shed “together.” He taught me that when you’re willing to do hard work, even in the little things, big things come together. Honor your commitments. As a young man, my father carried a pocket-sized Bible in his chest pocket. Shortly before the Normandy invasion in 1944, he prayed for God’s protection and promised God that if he made it home, he would make sure his family attended church every Sunday. Well, he made it home and he kept that promise. I cannot remember a Sunday that Dad did not take my mother, my siblings, and me to church – even when we were away on vacation. I now have my Dad’s pocket Bible. It is one of my most treasured possessions, and it serves as a strong reminder of my dad’s service to his country. But it also serves as a visual representation of my dad's unwavering resolve to keep his commitments. Today, I place great value on my family and my faith, undoubtedly because of my dad’s example. Those lessons of commitment bleed into all areas of my life, driving my daily defense of faith, family, and freedom. Listening is a way towards wisdom. My dad and I kept busy doing a lot of things together. But on late summer nights, after dinner, often the whole family would gather on our small screened-in-porch to talk as the sun went down. Sometimes an aunt or uncle would drop by; other times my grandparents would be there. They would talk about neighborhood news, church going-ons, politics — mostly ordinary things, but it was good to sit there listening and to be together. Part of the family. And, sitting there

on the porch as the dusk faded into night, I learned the value of listening and observing. Sometimes taking a moment to pause gives us the best perspective and sometimes we ﬁnd the best answers simply by listening. As life in America becomes more elaborate and complex, I like to think back to the simple lessons I learned from my dad. They were the building blocks of my character — the values that still guide me today. Perhaps someone inﬂuential in your life taught you life lessons that helped form your character. I’m convinced that our nation could gain a lot by applying these lessons today. If we did, I think we would be reminded that the reason our nation became great is not merely because we had visionary leaders or eloquent elected officials. Our nation became great because of everyday Americans like my dad — Americans who have pride in their work, place value on honesty, character, and commitment, and who pass those lessons on to their children. And that is the reason we are still great today. Congressman Randy Forbes R-4th DistrictChesapeake, Va.

Forbes is working to help small businesses To the Editor:

We often hear that small businesses fuel our economy, but many of us do not understand the full meaning behind that statement. In Virginia alone, 664,665 small businesses employ more than 1.4 million individuals and provide about half of the state's private sector jobs; however, the current tax burden and these difficult economic conditions are threatening them with layoffs and closures. Congressman Randy Forbes has taken a smart approach to small business growth that emphasizes the two major needs of our entrepreneurs: lower taxes and access to capital. Most recently, he voted to pass the America's Small Business Tax Relief Act to extend current exemptions for work-related equipment purchases. Under this legislation, business owners who are working to improve their products or to expand their businesses will not be penalized for their initiative. In addition, he supported the Small Business Capital Access and Job Preservation Act to eliminate the obstacles that Dodd-Frank regulations placed in the way of small business owners seeking capital investment in their companies. Congressman Forbes sees the potential that our small businesses hold. They really do fuel our economy, and he is working to give them the freedom to grow. G. A. Pelfrey Colonial Heights

Do Christians need to attend church? To the Editor:

In a recent column someone asked Tom Lovorn if "Christians really need to attend church?" His answer (yes) was based on tradition, not the Bible! Referring to the word church in Romans 16:5 - Likewise greet the church that is in their house.. - the Adam Clarke Commentary notes the following:

“In these primitive times no such places existed as those which we now term churches; the word always signifying the congregation or assembly of believers, and not the place they assembled in." C. I. Scoﬁeld tells us the simplest form of a local church is described in Matthew 18:20: For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Dr. Mark D. Roberts, in his essay entitled “What is a Church,” emphasized the point further when he said, “We all project our meanings and values into the text. Careful interpretation of Scripture can help us see what is really there and not be tricked into thinking our projections are God’s revealed Word.” Some Christians attend church every day while using their computer. They do so by tuning in to Victory FM and learning from the best Bible teachers in the country. With their media player reduced to the taskbar they leave the station running quietly in the background. While working 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., they hear brief sermons from pastors like Nancy Leigh DeMoss, Jim Daly, Adrian Rogers, Chuck Smith, J. Vernon McGee, Chuck Swindoll, John Munro, Jack Graham, David Jeremiah, Alistair Begg, Chip Ingram, John MacArthur, James MacDonald, Jim Burns, Charles Morris, etc. Anyone can join this radio congregation and attend church by clicking on the following link: http://tunein.com/radio/ Victory-FM-883-s22645/ Bill Cromer Colonial Heights

Funnier than a barrel of monkeys Congressional Democrats are more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. Creationists claim origins from the breath of Almighty God, whereas liberals claim to come from monkeys and slimy worms. That, my children, explains why congressional Democrats are full of monkey business and are more fun than a barrel full of those hairy creatures. Ronald C. UeharaPetersburg

Good riddance to Eric Holder To the Editor:

Former Attorney General Eric Holder's job is to "enforce the laws of the land." However, he turned out to be a political activist who was in line with President Obama's agenda of "social justice." Remember the "Fast and Furious" and border security scandals to name just a few of his un-American activities during his tenure? Pray that we don't get a replacement by one who is even worse! What's more interesting about this is the timing. Is it just too much of a coincidence that this happens just before the November election while the Democrats still control the Senate? It is the Senate's job to approve a replacement of President Obama's choosing. Anyway, as far as Eric Holder is concerned: Good riddance! Gary Allen Chesterﬁeld County

Fire marshal shares prevention, safety tips

Event sponsored by local Realtors in observance of Fire Safety Week From contributed reports

COLONIAL HEIGHTS — The Southside Virginia Association of Realtors hosted Douglas Sanford, Petersburg’s assistant fire marshal, for a timely free fire safety and prevention class open to the public and association members. The Oct. 1 presentation was held in observance of Fire Safety Week, Oct. 5-11, and in conjunction with National Fire Prevention Month. According to the National Fire Protection Association, U.S. fire departments respond to about 370,000 home structure fires annually. Additionally, about three out of every five reported fire deaths from 2007 to 2011 were in homes with no smoke detectors or working detectors. The Petersburg Fire Department recommends changing the batteries in one’s home smoke detectors every six months; doing so when resetting clocks for daylight savings is a good rule of thumb and reminder. The department also recommends testing every smoke detector monthly by pressing its test button and holding in for a few seconds. If working properly, the alarm will sound and stop once the button is no longer pressed. A chirping alarm is generally a sign that batteries are running low. More safety tips from

De tec tors should be placed in or near living areas such as living or family rooms on the floors without sleeping areas. ■ Ever y household should have an escape plan, which includes drawing a floor plan of one’s home, agreement on a meeting place and practicing one’s escape plan. ■ Every household should have a fire extinguisher that is designed to extinguish home fires, where combustibles would include wood, paper and flammable liquids. Purchase an extinguisher that can handle Class A-B-C fires. Sanford’s presentation

“Keep in mind that the marker is honoring the men and women who have served, who are serving in the armed forces today and who will serve. Let’s give them their honor and praise,” Hollister said. Marilyn Mason, president of the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, dedicated the memorial to the armed forces during the ceremony. “While we go about our daily lives, while we sleep, the men and women in our armed forces fly our skies, sail our seas,

ENGLISH FARCE

‘See How They Run’ for a night of fun Swift Creek Mill Theatre hits the audience's funny bone

By Una Harrison REVIEW CORRESPONDENT

What a pleasure to go to the theater and know that you will be thoroughly entertained. Swift Creek hits the audience’s funny bone fair and square with their season’s opening of “See how they Run”. This English farce by Philip King has been an audience favorite on both sides of the pond since it was written in the forties. As with most classic farces, it abounds with eccentric characters, mistaken identities, unexpected appearances, a little naughtiness and many , many doors. It all adds up to a laugh-a-minute night to remember. The play is set in a bucolic village vicarage. Vicar Lionel Toop has recently married Penelope, an attractive actress, who further shocks the village gossips by being American and wearing pants. Cheeky cockney maid Ida announces the frustrated village busybody, Miss Skillon, who arrives to complain about Penelope waving to a passing GI. The vicar attempts to sooth Miss Skillon, then departs for an evening engagement. The GI arrives and proves to be Penelope’s ex- leading man. The mistaken identities start when he dresses up in one of the vicar’s clerical suits to avoid scandal. He and Penelope nostalgically reenact their ﬁght scene from “Private Lives”, which ends in the unannounced Miss Skillon catching the knockout punch. Confusion arrives with

the return of the vicar, with the appearance of an escaped Russia spy who steals his suit , with the visiting bishop who arrives unexpectedly, and with a bewildered substitute vicar. Miss Skillon spends most of the time either drunk on the vicar’s sherry, releasing her romantic inhibitions, hungover, or hidden in the broom closet. The rest of the cast, in and out of clerical garb (think of vicars in knickers) , exhaust themselves chasing in and out of all the doors, including the closet. It’s all great fun and the audience is carried along by the pace and impeccable acting. Jackie Jones plays Miss Skillon to the hilarious hilt, in a role that shows the versatility and agility of this very talented actress. Her timing, both vocally and physically is spot on. Louise Keeton plays Penelope beautifully, she not only looks beautiful, she has a most pleasing stage personality, a commanding stage presence and a good sense of comedy. She is a newcomer to the Mill stage and I hope to see her again. Ida, the Toop’s cockney maid is a wonderful character role, and Liz Ballard Hamm gets every ounce of vocal, facial and physical comedy out of it. Her cockney accent is authentic , and she too has great timing and energy. She is another newcomer to the Mill stage and a great ﬁnd . Andrew Hamm, another Mill newcomer, convincingly portrays Lionel Toop with the sense of dignity that we expect

from a Reverend, at least while he has his pants on. Jacob Lief as the visiting bishop gives a remarkable performance for a recent graduate. He has an imposing voice and presence, and demonstrates amazing agility during the chase scenes. The last clerical role, that of the visiting parson, is played by Steve King in a wonderfully understated and natural way. His performance and facial expressions are sweet, comedic and lovably bewildered. Jesse Mattes as the GI is a delight to watch, with boundless stage energy and emotion. The Russian spy is a stereotype role but Jim Morgan gives a suitably menacing interpretation. Last but not least of the supporting roles is that of the blundering police sergeant who arrives to try and determine who of the multiple vicars is the spy. Adam Minks is very convincing vocally and physically in a Columbo type of role. Tom Width directs his talented cast with great humor and sense of timing, the audience responding with fits of laughter and a standing ovation. It was very refreshing to see so many new faces on the Mill stage. The set is authentically English with half timbered walls, and with nostalgic mood music of the era adding atmosphere. So, Run to the Mill for a fun night to remember. • British actress and playwright Una Harrison is artistic and teaching director of "Theatre with Children for Children" and can be contacted at unaharrison@yahoo. com

‘AUTHOR VISITATION’

VSU program teaches Colonial Heights students science

By Leah Small Staff Writer

ETTRICK — Colonial Heights High Schools students were mesmerized as visiting author and scientist Joe Schwarcz demonstrated chemical reactions that played tricks on the eye. Schwarcz spoke to students gathered in the Wilder Auditorium on the Virginia State University Campus recently during the university’s Author Visitation Program. The 20-year program, started by VSU professor Krishan Agrawal, gives local students an opportunity to have their interests piqued, and minds expanded, by a program that gives them hands-on experience with science. The program started as a partnership between C h e s t e r fi e l d C o u n t y Public Schools and The program expanded to Colonial Heights High School three years ago. Every year Agrawal features writers who discuss scientiﬁc ideas in a relatable way.
