Former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Rick Santorum takes aim at President Obama’s policies.

]

Former Pennsylvania U.S. Senator Rick Santorum came to Roanoke and stopped by the Roanoke Republican Headquarters on Ogden Road Monday. He told a group of supporters that regulations are stifling the economy. “Regulations are not suggestions,” he said but rather, “the law.” The interpretation of regulations, especially environmental regulations, has been rewritten at will, according to Politics Santorum. It was the same on welfare policy. He said “Welfare is now the largest single item in the federal budget … [Obama] has gone out and changed the law.” He accused Obama of changing the work requirement for welfare, but that has been disputed. According to Factcheck.org:

hop world, was the 2012 host and artist-in-residence. The overall theme of this year’s program was The (X)ponential Impact of Radical Trust. Many of the speakers had a tech-heavy angle and spoke of the need for interconnectivity. There were sessions on “Tactical Urbanism,” the impact that the Virginia Tech Carilion Research Institute has had on Roanoke, one session entitled “The Importance of Impossible Dreams,” and others that also asked attendees to look beyond “the landscape of everyday.” Neil Takemoto, co-founder of something called a “crowdsourced placemaking” firm, talked about the need to build consensus and community support for major downtown renovation projects. Takemoto’s CPSM Group is involved with four such efforts now across the country. He brought up an image of the proposed “New Market Square” that would close off the parking lots across the street from the City Market Building to vehicular traffic, creating outdoor public gathering places. AECOM has put together a drawing for Downtown Roanoke Inc., which is pushing for the outdoor pedestrian plaza as a final piece in transforming Roanoke. Some people in other localities have worried that turning developable real estate into pedestrian plazas takes good property off the market, but Takemoto pointed out that those public spaces often increase the value of the properties surrounding them. People from the suburbs are often looking for “something downtown to come to,” said Takemoto. He noted that there was “a lot of support” for such a plaza in Roanoke, although some adjacent business owners worry about the loss of vehicular traffic driving by their store or restaurant. Takemoto noted the importance of seeking ideas from the public, whether online or via good old-fashioned paper ballots, pointing to CityWorks, which has asked for proposals on what to do with a former coffee shop space it owns in Grandin Village. “People …are sharing ideas,” said Takemoto. Making sure local residents know what the vision is for a place like downtown Roanoke can lead to “a whole new level of engagement . . . suddenly everyone is working together.” Takemoto took part in the first CityWorks (X)Po last year, when he solicited opinions for “Vision Roanoke.” Over 300 people sent him messages on what they would like to see here, with a pedestrian-only plaza emerging as “one of the most popular ideas.” Eddie Amos, billed as a technologist, talked about how the Roanoke-Blacksburg Technology Council has been working to promote “all of the great activities [regionally].” Still, according to Amos, the Roanoke and New River Valleys could be doing a better job of letting people know what a great place this is to live, work and play. “Our region is really poised for growth,” said Amos. One key to future growth will be the “need for involvement from people across the board,” added Amos, noting competition from cities like Chattanooga, TN, which has made easy access to

Roanoke also lacks an “innovation center,” like the Corporate Research Center in Blacksburg, which has spun off of the adjacent Virginia Tech campus to become a haven for high-tech startups. “We have the pieces here [to create something similar],” insisted Amos. While the next two speakers after Amos – both professors at Virginia Tech – talked about using social media to connect communities,“forming a new mindset,” Tom Sanchez called it, and how digital games can attract the younger crowd, the question might be this: How do you turn new-age thinking, social media and high-tech games into jobs, a population infusion from young professionals and consensus on a vision for Roanoke? Start with building “a sense of place,” said Peter Skorza, who heads up the Center for Interspatial Technologies at Virginia Tech. Skorza – who also let attendees know they can actually send a Tweet to the digicam at the base of the Mill Mountain Star, instructing it to take a picture and send it back – also said it was important for the local political and civic leaders to “become digitally literate,” if Roanoke is to grow. About that blind unicycle ride? That was by artist Mark Cline, who makes those large foam sculptures, like the two oversized hands that graced Kirk Avenue during the (X)Po’s first night. “Forever this will change the way I think about Kirk Avenue,” joked Skorza about Cline’s short but successful jaunt. The question that remained after the second CityWorks (X)Po remains – how does all of this translate into a new vision and economic growth for the valley?

> Teachers

From page 1

The union leader said teachers are “watched very carefully” in their first three years. Without giving statistics, he said “a lot of teachers” are “nonreappointed.” But a Watchdog.org sampling of local districts shows otherwise. At Portsmouth City Schools, all 68 instructors eligible for continuing contracts received them last year. In Mecklenburg County, 308 of 325 teachers were granted contracts. Only one instructor seeking a continuing contract did not earn one — and that was due to “licensure deficiencies.” The other 15 retired, resigned or were laid off, officials said. In Fairfax, the state’s largest school system, 58 teachers received “conditional appointments,” but two of those were “dismissed for cause,” said spokesman J.J. Torre. He did not report how many total teachers were eligible for continuing contracts. Rural Pulaski County awarded three teachers continuing contracts while denying three others. Those denials, however, were not based on classroom performance, but failure to complete required course requirements, district officials said. Norfolk City School District — home to three campuses on the state’s “warning” or “conditional” list due to academic deficiencies — said it would charge $32 an hour to research the contract data, and that the process would take five working days. Educators say the overwhelming percentage of teachers receiving continuing contracts is a reflection of good human-resources work when hiring new instructors. But skeptics argue that the nearly automatic bestowal of contracts after three years on the job ties the hands of administrators by effectively granting lifetime employment to teachers.

States with high tenure rates similar to Virginia’s have begun to tighten their evaluations. Florida, for example, abolished K-12 tenure last year. Except for veteran teachers who were grandfathered in, all Sunshine State instructors now work on year-to-year contracts with no guarantee of reappointment. Virginia’s strong tradition of local control of schools has made such changes difficult to enact legislatively. It also had led to varying standards, with little overall accountability or transparency. The state Department of Education, for example, does not track what percentage of teachers earn continuing contracts. Greenburg said Fairfax ties 40 percent of its teacher evaluation program to the “assessment of students.” Yet that assessment does not have to involve actual student testing. Other districts are free to use a lower percentage — and many do. “There’s a huge and long tradition of devolving decision-making to the local level. That leads to a lack of transparency,” said Chris Braunlich, a member of the state Board of Education. Traditionally, Braunlich said teacher evaluations were not based on whether students were successful. “It was strictly a licensure issue,” he said. But Braunlich said times have changed, and he suggested that Virginia needs to change with them. “We have the capacity to track student performance,” he said, and education reformers say that tool should be used with teachers as well. Meantime, critics of Virginia’s current contractual program see a troubling disconnect. They point to this year’s math scores, which fell as much as 40 points in some districts, while districts routinely award tenure status. Though 100 underperforming schools around the Old Do-

minion have been placed on a state “warning” list and are in jeopardy of losing their accreditation, teachers across the state are granted continuing contracts at a better than 95 percent rate. The National Council on Teacher Quality takes a dim view of such liberal licensing practices in the face of obvious academic deficiencies. NCTQ’s latest report gave Virginia an F in “identifying effective teachers.” With districts divulging few, if any, academic reasons for the rare cases in which they do not grant a continuing contract, reformers are pushing for measurable instructional benchmarks. “In most school systems, the required ‘due process’ is so burdensome — and has so small a chance of success — that in practice, poor performance is rarely a firing offense. This is why poor classroom performance is so rarely cited as a reason for dismissal,” Winters said. McDonnell’s 2012 bill would have extended teachers’ probationary period to five years and replaced continuing contracts with three-year contracts. At the end of every three years, an administrator could let a teacher go without cause. The Virginia Education Association, the state’s largest teachers union, helped to beat back that bill in the Senate. One VEA official told the Washington Post that McDonnell’s plan would expose instructors to arbitrary dismissal based on personality conflicts or other petty reasons. But the governor isn’t backing down. Looking ahead to January, he called the setback “a delay, not a defeat.” By Kenric Ward | Watchdog.org Virginia Bureau Contact Ward at kenric@watchdogvirginia.org or (571) 319-9824.

Hungering

-David Taylor

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” – Matthew 5:6 I am a pastor, which means I have a close to obscene passion for food. I love going out to eat and trying new foods. When I glance down the menu, an internal struggle ensues. I know I should get something healthy, like salad or seafood. However, that bleu-cheese and bacon burger looks unbelievable and it usually is… because that is invariably what I get! If only we were so ravenous for God… In a recent book I was reading, the author says, “Hunger is a basic human condition, and hungering for God is our most basic hunger. Our appetites define us.” Indeed, the choices we make about what we feed our souls show us where our allegiance lies. If the author is right (and I am convinced he is) that God is our most basic hunger, then we need to be making different choices about what we pick off life’s menu to put inside us. Ideas, images, and feelings are all spiritual foods, some more fattening than others. Like me in the restaurant, deep down we look at what’s available and we have inclinations about what’s good for us or not. It is time we start paying attention for what our souls growl to have: God Himself. If you have ever fasted for any length of time, you go through a period of serious ache at mealtime. However, an hour or two later, your body stops aching. In a sense, it forgets it needs food. As a spiritual practice, our bodies become an alarm clock, waking our souls up to the fact that our truest food is not burgers but Christ. However, if we ignore the wake-up call, we find ourselves in a dangerous situation indeed. Just as the ache passes, our souls begin

to forget what it truly needs. It no longer rumbles for nourishment but falls silent and lifeless. We become weak and irritable without the fuel our souls need. The good news is that this also works in reverse. In fact, our hunger for God is infinite. As the author states, “the measure of God’s presence in our life is gauged to the size of our appetite for God. Those who seek God with passionate, reckless abandon will find that their appetite for God increases as God’s presence increases.” In other words, the more you hunger after God, the more of God you will meet. Our culture is filled with people who are “spiritually searching” but who are not finding anything. There is tremendous longing for that which is substantial and real and yet people continue to indulge on insubstantial ideas and images that do not meet their most fundamental need. It is because they have yet to recognize their deepest longing that can only be met in Christ. As Jesus said in the Beatitudes (as stated in “The Message”): “You’re blessed when you’ve worked up a good appetite for God. He’s food and drink in the best meal you’ll ever eat.” If you do not feel the hunger for God, pray for it! Ask God to make your soul grumble until it finds its fulfillment on the substance of Christ! (If you are interested in the book mentioned, check out “The Culturally Savvy Christian” by Dick Staub.) David Taylor is a superhero in real life, but maintains his alter-ego as pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Floyd, in Floyd, VA.

Inaugural TEDxVirginiaTech To Highlight Innovative Ideas

Virginia Tech Faculty, students, and alumni who are “inventing the future” with ideas worth spreading will represent the university at the first TEDxVirginiaTechevent on Nov. 10. Twenty-one speakers, each a thought-leader in his own right, will share ideas, insights and inspiration centered around the theme “Knowing.” More than 200 people were nominated to present. “Virginia Tech’s hands-on, minds-on approach to education, spirit of invention, and leadership in research make our university a perfect match to host this prestigious program,” said Melissa Richards, TEDxVirginiaTech Steering Committee co-chair and director of marketing and publications for University Relations. Tickets are limited and requests for tickets are closed. However, there are many opportunities on the Virginia Tech campus, in the local community, and around the country with alumni chapters to attend a live streaming event. All the events will combine TEDTalks videos with live speakers to spark deep discussion and connection in small groups. If your organization is interested in hosting a live streaming event, visit the TEDxVirginiaTechwebsite to submit an application. Former Vice President of Student Affairs Edward F.D. Spencer, who retired earlier this year, will emcee the event. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.) TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to “Ideas Worth Spread-

ing.” Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives.

TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Thinking Soda? Think Again!

Liquid calories are the ones most of us never consider but the ones that may contribute to major health problems. According to their own calorie counts a Bojangles sweet tea is 150 calories for a 32 ounce large size with ice while the same size Mountain dew is 340 calories. McDonald’s sweet tea is 280 calories for a 32 ounce large and the same size Coca-Cola is 310 calories. So get something smaller, right? A chocolate McCafe shake 16 ounces might do the trick. How about 720 calories? Maybe coffee is a better choice. Perhaps not since a 16 ounce Starbucks Café latte is 190 calories and a skinny version is only 10 calories less at 180. Okay then a smoothie. That has to be healthy, right? A little 12 ounce strawberry-banana smoothie at McDonald’s is 210 calories. One teaspoon of sugar is 15 calories making that Bojangles sweet tea like eating 10 teaspoons of sugar and that Coca-Cola is more than 20 teaspoons of sugar! Studies have shown that most of us can’t taste more than a 3 teaspoon level of sweetness anyway so more than 45 calories of sugar is just overkill. At this point you are thinking about switching to diet soda drinks. The phosphates in colas and other soft drinks that give them their tang and “bite” leach calcium from your bones. This puts you at risk for osteoporosis. Researchers at Walter Reed Medical Center found that diet sodas are as much at fault as those sweetened with sugar. The phosphorus can also damage your tooth enamel by changing the pH of your saliva causing your teeth to erode. If that wasn’t enough the increase For more information about 16 West Marketplace, visit 16west- in phosphorus in your body can also cause premature aging marketplace.com, find 16 West Marketplace on Facebook or call 540- according to researchers at Harvard University. They found that this imbalance caused muscle and skin to shrivel. 206-3572. Many people find they can improve their overall health and weight simply by switching to water or unsweetened iced tea. If you are drinking 3 sodas a day you can lose nearly one pound per week just by making that one simple change. Your bones and teeth will thank you. No more bloating or burping. Your skin will look better and feel better with the additional hydration. You may find you are less hungry as time goes by. Without the carbonation continually expanding your stomach you may need less food to feel full. Making small changes one at a time can have major improvements in your life and health. You don’t have to make a huge commitment in time or money. A few extra steps a day, water instead of soda, even a good night’s sleep can go farther for most of us then doing something drastic. It’s easier in the long run to do something we can stick with over time. Change one thing each month for the better. Have a plan and goals to strive for. Don’t forget to reward yourself for your accomplishments. See a movie or buy a new CD. Be good to yourself !

Knights Grab Homecoming Win With Late Score On Blacksburg

Celtic Defense Rules As Roanoke Catholic Grounds Falcons 41-0

Photo by Bill Turner.

Cave Spring senior wide receiver Jack Woody brings in a pass as three Bruin defenders convene during the Knights comeback win Friday night. Cave Spring running back James Jackson dove into the end zone from one-yard out with 19.7 seconds left in the game, as Cave Spring defeated Blacksburg 21-14 on homecoming last Friday night at Dwight Bogle Stadium. The Knights dodged several bullets down the stretch to stay in the River Ridge District mix with two games remaining. Cave Spring started their game-winning drive with under 3 1/2 minutes left from their own 20-yard line and the score knotted at 14. Knight quarterback Connor Baker promptly moved Cave Spring to the Blacksburg 35 in under a minute, and when faced with fourth-andfour, the key play of the game unfolded. Knightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Head Coach Tim Fulton called a time out to ponder his teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s options of punting or going for the first down, with the risk of better field position for Blacksburg and their ever-dangerous field goal kicker, Carson Wise, clearly being considered. Cave Spring lined up to run a play, but Blacksburg handed out the perfect homecoming gift when they jumped offsides after a series of Baker checks at the line. Given new life with the first down, Cave Spring moved inside the Bruin five, where they milked the clock until Jacksonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third stab at the goal line hit paydirt.

The Knights game-winning drive came after several untimely penalties had ambushed Cave Spring in the second half and a potential scoring strike to wide-open Bruin receiver Aiden Ball had slipped through the seniorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hands, forcing a fourth-down Blacksburg punt. Cave Spring had taken a 14-7 lead to the locker room at halftime after Baker hit wide receiver Jack Woody for a 44-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter and a 13-yard strike to senior Jordan Bryant in the final minute of the second quarter. Blacksburg had tallied on a 2-yard Daniel Hanks run early in the second frame. Things turned physical in the scoreless third quarter before Blacksburg would tie the game at 14 on quarterback Kaleb Bohrnstedtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 8-yard keeper in the fourth. That set the stage for the final heroics that sent the boisterous homecoming crowd onto the field to celebrate Cave Springâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second River Ridge win in as many weeks. Baker fueled the Cave Spring attack with 213 passing yards on 15-of-23 efficiency. Woody brought in seven tosses for 118 yards and Jackson picked up 65-yards on the ground on 19 hard-fought carries.

SW Virginia Business Hall of Fame to Honor Fralin and Smoot Junior Achievement of Southwest Virginia will honor two laureates at its 22nd annual Southwest Virginia Business Hall of Fame – W. Heywood Fralin and Dr. Raymond Smoot. Established in 1990, the Southwest Virginia Business Hall of Fame honors leaders of the free enterprise system who serve as business role models for our region’s youth. Laureates inducted into the Southwest Virginia Business Hall of Fame are based on their outstanding leadership in the free enterprise system and business success as well as contributions W. Heywood Fralin and involvement in the community. Both of these esteemed laureates created avenues for people to sustain a successfullifestyle in the New River and Roanoke Valleys by promoting education, workforce readiness and entrepreneurship. A committee of distinguished regional business leaders gather annually to select the laureates. This year’s committee chaired by Charles Robbins, included Lucy Ellett, Leon Harris, Ken Lanford and Wayne Strickland. Heywood Fralin is a Roanoke-born leader who modestly says his accomplishments are because of his stellar family. Mr. Fralin graduated high school at the age of 17, earned his bachelor’s degree in three years at the University of Virginia and completed his education with a law degree from American University. Mr. Fralin spent a few years perfecting his legal skills under the mentorship of Tracy Lloyd and with several area law firms – at the same time reviewing housing and construction contracts for his brother’s firm, Fralin and Waldron. Upon the sudden death of his brother Horace, Heywood was convinced by Mr. Waldron that he would be the best partner to carry on the work of Horace. Since 1995 Heywood has been in partnership with a Waldron family member and has seen the company flourish to an operation that has become three distinct businesses including 40 skilled nursing facilities with 7,000 employees throughout Virginia and North Carolina Mr. Fralin’s success has afforded him time and capital to support the arts, education and multiple non-profits through the Horace C. Fralin

Charitable Trust. Recently Heywood and his wife Cynthia Fralin bequeathed their American artists collection to the University of Virginia, which resulted in the board of visitors naming the campus museum the Fralin Art Museum. He also serves as vice chair of Roanoke’s Taubman Museum of Art. Raymond Smoot is a “lifetime Hokie” who had an illustrious start in Lynchburg. Mr. Smoot was a sports editor for the school paper, his high school’s representative to Boy’s State, and managed the boys’ Dr. Raymond Smoot basketball team. He is an accomplished pianist who will sit in for an absentee organ player when necessary. Smoot’s college success was no different. He enjoyed his academic career at Virginia Tech, earning a bachelor’s degree in English. Elected class president his senior year, Raymond enjoyed access to then Tech President T. Marshal Hahn. The time spent with President Hahn was the avenue to success and vision. Raymond went on to pursue his master’s and Ph.D. in educational administration. In 1975 Raymond returned to the Tech campus as the VP of Administration, reporting to Stuart Cassell. After a year in the job Mr. Cassell passed away suddenly, thrusting young Smoot into the reins of business manager and a series of leadership roles in the Virginia Tech administration. By 2003 Dr. Smoot became CEO of the Virginia Tech Foundation. This made him responsible for managing investments, acquiring and managing real estate and large gifts. Dr. Smoot has overseen the growth in funded research, broadened the campus offerings from the Hotel Roanoke, WVTF radio, Via College of Osteopathic Medicine, VT Seafood Research Center and the VT/ Carilion Research Institute. Dr. Smoot has been a driver for economic development throughout Western Virginia. This year’s laureates will be recognized Nov. 12 at the Business Hall of Fame dinner at Hotel Roanoke & Conference Center. Reception begins at 6 p.m., with dinner at 6:30pm. For ticket information please contact betsy@ja.roacoxmail.com or call Junior Achievement at 989-6392.

Local Businesswoman Elected Chair of National Association

Mimi Rainero Coles of Roanoke has been elected chairman of the National Precast Concrete Association’s (NPCA) Board of Directors. Rainero Coles is a Sales and Business Development manager of Permatile Concrete Products Co. in Bristol. She began her one-year term on Saturday, October 6, at NPCA’s 47 Annual Convention in New Orleans. Now in its 48th year, NPCA provides technical, educational and safety resources to nearly 1,000 member companies in all 50 states and seven Canadian provinces. For Rainero Coles, participation in NPCA is a family tradition. Her parents have played an important role in NPCA over the past 35 years, and they have encouraged their family to do the same. Rainero Coles first attended an NPCA meeting in Seattle with her parents during a summer vacation in college. In her first speech as chairman, she fondly recalled that memory and spoke about the many friendships she and her parents have developed as members, and how much it means to her to take on the leadership role. “I thank you for the confidence you have placed in me to lead NPCA for the next year,” said Rainero Coles. “It is an honor and privilege to serve as Chairman of the Board and I look forward to working with our experienced Board of Directors and dedicated staff.” Laying out her plan for the coming year, she

She also touched on the challenges ahead, and the need for the industry and the association to become lean, diversified and to rise to meet increasingly complex challenges. “Mimi’s work ethic and deep appreciation for the industry and this association are qualities NPCA is honored to have,” said NPCA President Ty Gable. “We’re fortunate to have her as our chair and I look forward to everything we will accomplish together.”

Affleck / Argo Score Perfect “10” at Box Office

While Ben Affleck has had a hit-or-miss career as an actor, he has in the past five years made a successful turn-around as a director. While some might have scoffed at the idea of Affleck becoming a director at first, “Gone Baby Gone,” was an excellent film with great drama and tension, and whatever doubts were left of Ben Affleck becoming a director were washed away by the equally-excellent crimethriller “The Town.” Now marking his third film as a director, Affleck is now trying something different with “Argo,” a film based on the Canadian Caper mission that took place during the Iranian Revolution. When Islamic militants took over the American Embassy in Tehran in 1979 and took fifty-two Americans as hostages, six Americans managed to escape secretly and hide out in the Canadian ambassador’s house. When the CIA sends in Tony Mendez to come up with a plan to secretly smuggle the six Americans out of Iran, he eventually comes up with an idea that seems like something out of a Hollywood movie: he and the six Americans will pose as a Canadian filmcrew scouting for locations for a fake sciencefiction movie titled “Argo.” Under their fake identities, they will then fly out of Tehran without being spotted.

It’s an amazing story that is superbly recreated by Affleck, who manages to perfectly capture the sense of conflict during the Iranian Revolution on both sides. The conflict is never black-and-white, and the process of getting the six Americans out of Iran is covered in every step to where even the simplest mistake could mean lifeand-death. The slow pacing allows Affleck the ability to hold the suspense through every turn. Additionally the performances are superb and the characters are memorable and likeable. Even the humor in the movie has a surprising witty edge to it to help relieve the tense moments, particularly from scenestealers turned in by John Goodman and Alan Arkin. While the movie does exaggerate some parts of the story here-and-there, (imagine that!) this is a superbly crafted thriller that fires on all cylinders and never lets up until the end credits. Who knew the story about a man who invented a fake movie to rescue six Americans would lead to Ben Affleck making one of the best movies of 2012. It’s just like something out of Hollywood!

Projects Further Goals of Arts and Cultural Plan

Mini-grants from the City of Roanoke and the Foundation for Roanoke Valley will support five local projects that engage youth, connect cultures and tell neighborhood stories. The City of Roanoke and the Foundation for Roanoke Valley have announced the award of $12,000 in mini-grants to five collaborative partnerships. Selected by a community panel through a competitive process, the projects were chosen because of their clear community benefit, their collaborative nature, and their alignment with the goals of the city’s arts and cultural element of its Comprehensive Plan. “The grants are small but strategic,” said Arts and Culture Coordinator Susan Jennings. “In our planning process, the community told us that by working together across organizations we could connect more people to cultural opportunities. The plan focuses on neighborhoods, on ways to engage residents of all ages, and on sharing the story of our region-where we’ve been and where we’re going. Each of these projects moves us forward in those areas. Best of all, the projects were shaped by the community.” The following partnerships received the grants: Gainsboro SW Community Organization and the Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation for the Gainsboro History Walk Plaza Panels to be placed in the plaza area on Wells Avenue. The funds will allow a fifth panel to the project which now has a Roanoke Neighborhood Services Grant to fund four panels. Jefferson Center Foundation, Roanoke Public Libraries, and Roanoke City Public Schools to fund an artist residency and community performances. A Downtown Music Lab student will collaborate with Snarky Puppy, a NYC-based jazz group, to record and perform in schools and at the Main Library. Roanoke Area Mural Project, Youth Haven, and the Junior Achievement of SW VA to work with teens to paint a mural on the front of the Garden City Recreation Center.

Roanoke Valley Greenway Commission and Roanoke Parks and Recreation to develop a master plan to locate interpretive signs identifying key historic sites along the city’s greenways. The funds will also allow for the production and installation of one inaugural sign. Roanoke Saint Lo Sister City Committee and the Arts Council of the Blue Ridge to bring an artist from Saint Lo, France to Roanoke for a two-week residency to work with students and set up a public demonstration in a downtown storefront. According to Tom McKeon, Roanoke Arts Commission member and chair of the grant selection panel, the process demonstrated the best of community planning: “We said, ‘Here are the goals we’ve established as a community,’ and the community, through its neighborhood and cultural organizations, quickly responded by saying, ‘Here’s how we can play a part; here’s what we can do.’” The city’s first Arts and Cultural Plan was adopted by City Council in August 2011. Developed by the Roanoke Arts Commission and the city’s Planning, Building, and Development department, with wide participation from partner organizations and citizens, the plan lays out a strategy to foster a more livable community with engaged neighborhoods; to provide an environment for lifelong learning, participation, and education; and to strengthen the regional economy. The City of Roanoke Arts and Cultural Plan was named “Best Comprehensive Plan Element” by the Virginia Chapter of the American Planning Association in 2011.
