about 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of the Surry County Circuit Courthouse.
Teachers and technology were
the biggest concerns Thursday
during a second public hearing
on the Isle of Wight school budget.
And many who spoke were in
favor of a tax increase to support
needs of the school district.
“I don’t think teachers feel
appreciated,” said Smithfield
High School student Dane
Mosely.
Windsor High School senior
Will Wyatt said his teachers’ low
morale was due to the “outland-
ish threats they receive,” such as
closing schools and cutting out
summer school.
Stephanie Bailey, who heads
up the Isle of Wight Education
Association, said “teachers feel
like toys to be played with and
people are playing with them.”
Others asked for technological
upgrades, such as increased
bandwidth to handle the additional computer traffic.
The Board of Supervisors had
asked the School Board to present
a flat budget and most of the cuts

SURRY — Dogs Deserve Better founder
Tamira Thayne says she is prepared to die for
her cause.
Thayne is no stranger to extreme measures
to show she’s devoted to freeing penned and
chained animals, having chained herself outside 10 different state capitols.
This time, she is staging a hunger strike.
On May 7, Thayne began refusing food and
started petitioning each day from a camp chair
along Route 10 by the Surry County Circuit
Courthouse.
Thayne wants justice for reasons different
than her usual campaign.
She wants Surry County Commonwealth’s
Attorney Gerald Poindexter to bring embezzlements charges against a former employee, who
she said padded her paycheck to the tune of
$1,285.
She wants Poindexter and Chief Animal
Control Officer Tracey Terry to admit that the
former employee framed Thayne for animal
cruelty charges.
Thayne was charged in August 2012 on misdemeanor animal cruelty and misdemeanor
failure to provide adequate space charges. Her
charges were postponed in March.
Finally, she wants her and Dogs Deserve

The Isle of Wight Board of
Supervisors continued to pick
apart its fiscal 2014 operating
budget during a fourth work session Monday.
The Board is considering a
maximum real estate tax increase of 8 cents to cover the
county’s operating budget and
the school budget.
There were varying discussions Monday on why some departments
followed
the
supervisor’s 5 percent budget reduction request and some didn’t.
“It’s not fair,” said Newport
Supervisor Buzz Bailey about
departments such as the Sheriff ’s
Office and the schools not following the reduction request.
The Board asked everyone to
cut and then it gives some back
to other departments, said Chairman JoAnn Hall.
All departments should have
to participate in the 5 percent
cuts, Hall said.

Plans for a 162-apartment
mixed-use development on what
is known as the Norsworthy property is under rezoning review
with Isle of Wight Planning and
Zoning.
Brewer’s Station also calls for
85,000 square feet of retail space,
34 townhouses and 54 single-family units, according to prelimi-
nary development plans.
The application is expected to
go to the Planning Commission
sometime in the summer.
The property was formerly
approved in 2005 for 42 single
family units and the new application represents a change from
that, said Matt Smolnik, assistant
director of planning and zoning.

News editor
A comment about the Confederacy by an Isle of Wight
elected official during a public
budget meeting sparked controversy Monday.
Frustrated over a lack of
money and a request for additional emergency services
funding, Newport District Supervisor Buzz Bailey jokingly
wondered if Isle of Wight could
print money like the federal
government.
And then he said, “Save the
Confederate money. The south
will rise again.”
It wasn’t taken as a joke. Isle

Evaluating Virginia’s
school superintendents
By Abby Proch
Staff writer
Virginia school superintendents will soon face an
evaluation system in which
40 percent of their evaluation will be based on student achievement.
The remaining 60 percent will be covered by six
indicators that are weighed
at 10 percent each: mission,
vision and goals, planning
and assessment, instructional leadership, organizational leadership and
safety, communication and
community relations and
professionalism.
The Virginia Department of Education issued
the new evaluation criteria
after finding that the current practices, which were
updated in 2000, lack objectivity and scope.
School divisions must
adopt the criteria developed by the Virginia Department of Education by
July 1, 2014 or sooner.
Isle of Wight County
Superintendent Katrise
Perera attended a conference recently at which the
topic was discussed.
About the evaluation
change, Perera said, “The
complexity of education
leadership has changed
drastically over the last 10
years, so having an evaluation system that acknowledges those changes is necessary.”
The purpose of the new

evaluation criteria is to
improve superintendents’
and school division performance, strengthen community relations, inform personnel decisions and serve
as an accountability tool.
According to the Guidelines for Uniform Performance Standards and
Evaluation Criteria for Superintendents, “school
board members may not be
adequately prepared for
evaluating superintendents” and input is rarely
sought from teachers, staff
and students.
The School Board must
evaluate its superintendent
on the six indicators as well
as students’ academic
progress, according to Virginia law.
School boards can use
the guidelines produced by
VDOE “as is” or as a model.
The guidelines suggest
that school divisions seek

Privatization
in Virginia
Virginia’s reliance on so-called public-private
partnerships to accomplish what was once the
province of public agencies has, at best, been an
expensive experiment and, at worst, an abysmal
failure for Virginia taxpayers.
The concept, which gained favor in the 1990s
during a period of a growing distrust of government, is premised on the idea that private businesses make a profit and government agencies
don’t, so private businesses must, by nature, be
more efficient than government and should, therefore, be empowered to run previously public functions. Further, since private businesses know how
to make a profit, they should be allowed to shape
public projects because they certainly must know
how to do it better. Philosophically, it seems to
make sense. In practice, it has not lived up to its
expectations.
The most recent, and egregious, example of the
process is Gov. Bob McDonnell’s gift of the Midtown and Downtown tunnel operations to a private construction consortium for the next halfcentury. Under the plan, which was negotiated in
secret by McDonnell’s staff and the investors of
Elizabeth River Crossings, the Commonwealth
turns over the two tunnels to the investors for 58
years, during which they will enact tolls that at
their peak, will cost commuters about $1,000 a year.
During those decades, the investors are guaranteed a substantial profit.
A Circuit Court judge has ruled the deal unconstitutional, finding that the Public-Private Transportation Act turned over taxing authority — a
power the State Constitution reserves for legislators — to state bureaucrats who are making the
deals.
It remains to be seen whether the State Supreme
Court will agree, though it had in an earlier case
reached a similar conclusion.
Whatever happens in this case, it is not the first,
nor will it be the last, cause for concern over the
Public-Private Transportation Act of 1995 or its
later companion, the Public-Private Education
Facilities and Infrastructure Act of 2002.
Remember when, a decade ago, the state gave
Northrop Grumman a $2.1 billion contract to operate the state’s far-flung computer network?
There have been huge — and costly — problems
with the shift and some agencies continue to maintain their own computers.
The private deals that have been cut under both
laws remove purchases from the traditional state
bidding process, and several years ago, a wellplaced state purchasing official estimated that
purchases made under the Facilities Act, on average, cost about 15 percent more than those made
through traditional bids.
But no one knows for certain how much tax
money may have been wasted through public-private deals during the past decade and a half because there has never been a comprehensive study
comparing the costs of projects that are put to bid
and those that are privately negotiated with a solesource bidder. No one in the General Assembly has
seemed inclined to demand such a study, even
though billions of dollars in tax money have been
spent through this relatively new process.
Both Democratic and Republican governors
seem to love the public-private process, and who
can blame them. It allows elected officials to legally dole out vast sums of tax dollars to friendly
businesses, it eliminates the inconvenience of
putting projects out to bids and it lulls taxpayers
into believing (erroneously) that, somehow, private investors are paying for that which traditionally came out of tax dollars.
There is a growing sentiment in the General
Assembly that both laws should be reformed, that
in particular the overarching secrecy that cloaks
these huge projects should be breached. Nowhere
would a little sunshine be as welcome.
At the very least, the Assembly should insist
that the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission evaluate the cost effectiveness of publicprivate partnerships since they were first undertaken in 1995. The results might prove enlightening.

and school system
basically have to beg for
money, having to justify
why each dime is needed
and what the results will
be, based upon the
amount funded for 2014.
Once again, the Board of
Supervisors has questioned and expressed
doubts. This budget dance
has been going on for
several months and has
become contentious based
on a tough economy,
federal and state cuts and
noticeable mistrust
between supervisors and
the school board. The
supervisors are responsible for approving a total
budget that is fair to all
concerned — school
employees, students, the
sheriff, fire, rescue, and
many other organizations.
It’s a tough balancing act
amid limited ways to raise
revenue, with the real
estate tax being the
fundamental source of
funding.

Planting tomatoes is easy and can be done several
ways, such as laying the plant in a trench with only the
top exposed, promoting a very strong root system. The
way most of us plant is to dig a hole about half as deep
as the plant itself, removing lower branches, adding a
bit of fertilizer and water. Some growers recommend
staking and mulching at this time. It’s your choice.
Have you heard that tomatoes were a fruit? In 1893
the Supreme Court ruled tomatoes were a vegetable, not
a fruit. This happened because of a then 10-year-old piece
of legislation called the Tariff Act of 1883, which ruled
that a 10 percent tax had to be paid on all imported vegetables. After much discussion Justice Gray said “Botanically speaking, the tomato is the fruit of a vine just as
are cucumbers, squash, beans and peas are. The term
vegetable has no actual scientific or botanical definition,
it is a culinary term.”
The tomato was slow to catch on in the states and in
1845, the editor of the Boston Courier wrote that tomatoes were the fungus of an offensive plant and if touched,
the skin would need immediate soap and water cleansing.
Italy was the first to cultivate the tomato outside of
South America. The French referred to the tomato as
pomes d’ amour, or “love apple” as they thought it to have
stimulating aphrodisiac properties. On September 26,
1820 a Col. Johnson proved the tomato safe and delicious
when he consumed an entire basket of tomatoes on the
steps of the Salem courthouse with no ill effects. Although the leaves of the tomato plant are poisonous, the
tomato is not. His stunt was the beginning of North
America’s love affair with the tomato.
The high acidic content of the tomato makes it great
for canning and by the end of the 19th century was
canned more than any other fruit or vegetable.
Many of you planted your crop early; that is OK. If
like myself, you have been patient and waited for consistent warmth, plant now. You will be surprised to find that
your plants quickly catch up with their chilly friends.

Saving for a Rainy Day Can Wait
By Dr. Robert Wallace
Creators syndicate
I’m a 15-year-old young lady. I’m very active in
school, and I get very good grades. I’m very thankful
that my parents give me an allowance of $15 a week,
and I do all of my assigned chores faithfully. But, now
comes my problem. My dad is forcing me to put $5 of
my weekly allowance in the bank. He says that he is
teaching me the value of saving for a “rainy day.” Well,
for me, it rains every day. When my friends go to the
mall on a Saturday afternoon, I rarely go because I
don’t have any funds. Whenever I attend a school function, including athletic events, plays, musicals, dances,
etc., I have to buy a ticket. I also have to pay for my
school yearbook out of my allowance. So I usually need
all of my weekly allowance money to survive.
My parents read your column more often than I do,
so I know they will read your answer to my question
which is, do you think I should be allowed to spend my
allowance for whatever I need to survive and enjoy
school activities?

Katy,
To Walk and Socialize the dogs...
I’m not disagreeing with the way your parents’ rule
on your allowance that $5 must be saved for a “rainy
day.” They set the rules, not some guy who writes a
teen column in the newspaper.
I believe that allowance money, if family funds allow, should be given with no restriction on how it is
spent, except for those things that are forbidden. The
time to save for a rainy day will arrive when you get a
job. If you earn $25 for babysitting, then $5 should be
saved, and your allowance should continue until you
graduate from high school.

Dr. Wallace,
I read in a recent column about a teen who was unable to get a job until she got rid of a tattoo. I am one
of many employers who will not hire someone with a
visible tattoo. Not only does it make us uneasy, but we
worry that it makes customers uneasy, as well, and that
affects our business. People need to consider this before they get a tattoo. Although it might be the “cool
thing to do,” is it worth it to be unemployable?
Teens, I also want you to know that there are a few
other taboos: pierced eyebrows, noses, lips and tongues,
and pants that hang down on the butt looking like
they’re falling down. Most employers won’t tell you that
they are turning you down for these reasons; they just
don’t hire you.
— Be forewarned. —Employer, Willmar, Minn.
Ready for Picking!
Thanks for sharing your requirements for hiring.
Some employers do hire regardless of the applicant’s
appearance, but I believe some qualified employees lose
out because of their appearance.
Dr. Wallace,
Until a few days ago I had a super boyfriend whom I
loved very much, and I know that he loved me. The
problem is that his mother made him break up with
me because of something I said to his younger sister. I
now realize my mistake. What can I do to change his
mom’s opinion about me? I’m really not a bad kid!
— Nameless, Lake Charles, La.
Nameless,
Call your boyfriend’s mother and do a lot of explaining and a lot of apologizing. Most people are forgiving. Much depends on the content of the conversation
you had with your boyfriend’s sister. If it was “serious
stuff,” then you might start looking for a new boyfriend.

Supervisors to set
IW road priorities
By Diana McFarland
News editor
The Isle of Wight Board
of Supervisors is set to decide which road project
gets top priority —
Broadwater or Blackwater
roads.
The decision is part of a
public hearing on VDOT’s
six-year plan for secondary
roads and is scheduled for
Thursday 7 p.m. at the
courthouse complex.
The issue was discussed
at a May 2 buildings and
grounds committee meeting.
Both projects are partially funded, and work on
Broadwater Road, also
known as Rt. 620, is being
constructed in an alternating series of sections. Combining funds from both
projects would allow the
last section of the
Broadwater Road to be improved, said project manager Jamie Oliver.
Alter nately,
taking
money from the Blackwater Road project and shifting it to Broadwater would
enhance that improvement’s chances.
Otherwise, both projects
could languish for years,
Oliver said.
If the funding is moved
from Blackwater Road to
Broadwater, it doesn’t
mean the project is cancelled, it just means it can
be revisited at a later date,
Oliver said.
Both roads projects are
seen as alleviating safety
problems as Blackwater
Road is used mostly by
commuters taking a shortcut to Franklin, while
Broadwater Road is often
used by tractor-trailers.
Additionally, work on
five of Isle of Wight’s unpaved roads — Poor House,
Pope Swamp and Ballard
roads — are scheduled for
completion this year. The
county has realized some
leftover funding that can be
used to get a head start on
the next batch of road
projects — Country Way,
Twin Hill Lane, Yellow
Rock Lane and Poplar
Drive, Oliver said.
Evaluation system
County staff and building and grounds committee
member and Smithfield
Supervisor Al Casteen also
discussed creating an
evaluation and rating system for prioritizing and accepting potential roads for
paving in Isle of Wight
County. The committee also
discussed asking residents
wanting a road paved and
included in the state system to pay a portion of the
cost.
Currently, the county
pays 50 percent of the cost
of getting a roadway, including private roads, up to
state standards so that it
can be paved and entered
into the VDOT system, said
General Services Director
Edwin Wrightson.
The remaining 50 percent is paid by the state.
The county costs include obtaining rights of
way, moving utilities and
ditching.
“It would invest them
[residents] in the project
and reduce the amount of
money the county has to
pay,” Wrightson said.
Oliver said that many
localities already employ a
system to prioritize and
spread out the costs.
If an evaluation system
were to be enacted, it would
require a policy change by
the Board of Supervisors,
Oliver said.
The current policy is to
simply put the roads on the
rural rustic list based on
the date of the request.
Smithfield approves
capital project plan
By Abby Proch
Staff writer
The Smithfield Town
Council unanimously approved a $13.5 million capital improvements program
that funds a variety of
projects designed to improve
community
wellbeing.
The CIP, which is a projected summary of capital
expenses over the next five
years, was approved after a
public hearing May 7.
Included in the CIP are
several recreational items.
The largest of those is a
$1.2 million contribution
toward a sidewalk to be
built from Cypress Creek
Bridge to Battery Park
Road as part of four-mile
biking and walking trail
that will connect the town
with Nike Park.
That project is expected
to cost $8 million, with the
majority of funds coming
from Isle of Wight County
proffers and federal grant
money.
The town will also continue its second 10-year
commitment to fund the
expansion of the Luter
YMCA for $250,000 in the
next five years.
The town will also provide $25,000 over the next
A lot of money in
‘other’ category
By Diana McFarland
News editor
When it comes to spending on law enforcement and
animal control, Isle of
Wight County falls below
the average for Virginia
counties.
Isle of Wight spends
$149 per person for law enforcement, E-911, animal
control and several other
items, as compared to the
state average of $182, according to the Comparative
Report of Local Government Revenues and Expenditures for fiscal 2012.
But part of that $149 includes items listed in a category called “other” and
what it includes isn’t clear.
According to the “other”
category, Isle of Wight is
nearly triple the state per
capita average — paying
out $76.87 per person as
compared to the state average of $26 per person.
It’s what’s included in
the “other” category, found
in the section that also has
separate categories for law
enforcement, corrections
and detention, inspections
and fire and rescue, that’s
causes some confusion.
According to officials
with the Virginia Auditor
of Public Accounts office,
the “other” category includes animal control or
game warden, and the E911system if its not controlled by the sheriff ’s office.
Isle of Wight spokesman
Don Robertson checked
with the county budget and
finance office, which prepares the reports for the
state, and was told the
“other” category includes
the sheriff ’s office, E-911
and animal control.
However, the comparative report has a separate
section for the sheriff. And
in Isle of Wight County, E911 is included in the
sheriff ’s budget.
When Isle of Wight
County Sheriff Mark
Marshall asked budget and
finance what the “other”
category included, he was
told it was animal control,
DMV selective enforcement, the fifth district community corrections program, fire prevention, the
Wester n Tidewater Regional Jail contribution
and an additional “other”
subcategory.
Marshall said the
county’s contribution to
the regional jail system,
which serves Isle of Wight,
Suffolk and Franklin, is
$647,123. Isle of Wight also
paid $8,579 to the Western
Tidewater Comprehensive
Community Corrections
Program in 2012.
For Isle of Wight, the total amount spent in the
“other” category was $2.7
million in fiscal 2012.
In fiscal 2012, which
ended June 30 of that year,
the animal services budget
was $249,722 and the
sheriff ’s budget, which includes E-911 was approved
at $3.18 million.
According to the Comparative report, expenditures for the sheriff ’s office
for fiscal 2012, as a separate
category, was $2,557,561.
Marshall said animal
services is run “on a shoestring” and depends
heavily on the contributions of volunteers, jail inmates and non-profit organizations for its operation.
three years to help fund
Christian Outreach’s building renovations in the
former health department
building on Grace Street.
Other funding plans include renovations and new
construction at town parks,
including a new baseball
complex to be built along
Great Spring Road.
The town recently
agreed to fund a new baseball field complex at $25,000
each year for the next eight
years (five of which are included in this year’s CIP).
The ball field will feature eight traditional fields
and one challenge field for
players with disabilities.
Contributions from the
town and Isle of Wight
County, as well as a $1 million
donation
from
Smithfield Foods, will pay
for the complex.
The town also allotted
nearly $1 million for improvements to Windsor
Castle Park, including
$250,000 to renovate outbuildings (the first of the
park’s projects), $350,000
for a playground and
$25,000 for a community
garden.
The garden project was
put on hold earlier this
year and will be revisited
in the future, said Town
Manager
Peter
Stephenson.
At Clontz Park, the town
plans to spend $25,000 to
replace the fishing deck in
2014-15.
“Although the town does
not have a formal parks and
recreation department, we
certainly are trying to promote
community
wellness…”
said
Stephenson. “In the late
1990s when the town
adopted a cigarette tax,
council at that time made it
a goal to use some of that
revenue to support healthy
initiatives
here
in
Smithfield.”
Other CIP projects include $4 million to widen
Battery Park Road, $2.1 million to meet a sanitary
sewer overflow consent order, $1.5 million toward
completing the Pinewood
Heights relocation project
and $508,500 to replace police vehicles and equipment.
Absent from this year’s
CIP is the South Church
Street
Beautification
Project.
The two-year project
wrapped up at the end of
2012, but the town is still
awaiting final billing before its official unveiling
ceremony this summer.

Call 357-3288 to be listed
to some additional budget
requests. That would prevent departments from
coming back in the middle
of the year and the Board
having to pull from reserves, he said.
“We need to look at realistic expenses,” Alphin
said.
The Isle of Wight
Sheriff ’s Office proposed
fiscal 2014 budget increased
by 3 percent, but it had
asked the Board for an additional $145,000 for parttime and over-time salaries
and ammunition.
The Board decided to
give the Isle of Wight
Sheriff ’s Office an additional $125,000.
Without the additional
funds, the Sheriff ’s Office
will have to lay off deputies, said administrative
assistant Jimmie Minton.
“We need to give them
some
relief,”
said
Smithfield Supervisor Al
Casteen.
Emergency Services,
whose proposed fiscal 2014
budget showed a 1 percent
reduction, asked for additional part-time salary
funding.
Of
the
additional
$280,000 request, the Board
decided to give Emergency
Services $165,000 to cover
those expenses.
Fire and rescue submitted a budget with a 5 percent reduction but the
Board decided to give an
additional $107,000 to bring
to find any “residual”
funds that could be applied
to that $800,000 for the
schools — if the Board decides to go with an 8-cent
property tax increase.
The staff was also asked
to prepare a categorical
school budget in the event
the Board of Supervisors
decides to fund the schools
that way. A categorical budget gives the supervisors
limited control over school
spending and is generally
viewed as arising from a
lack of trust between the
school board and board of
supervisors.
The Board of Supervisors was expected to vote
on the school budget Thursday, May 16, but Newport
Supervisor Buzz Bailey
will not be available due to
a medical procedure. Out
of fear of a split vote —
which could cause the motion to fail — the supervisors decided to take action
on the school budget May
23.

Budget
the drawing board to come
up with enough cuts to
drop the local funding request from $32 million to
$23.6 million.
At a budget worksession
Monday, the school’s acting
chief financial officer
Christina Berta provided
an outline to the supervisors about what a flat budget for fiscal 2014 would
look like — given decreased
federal, state and local
funding. With a flat local
contribution of $23.5 million, the schools will still be
$800,000 short, Berta said.
The $800,000 includes
increases in electricity, special education, fuel, maintenance, transportation
and technology.
Berta said later that if
the $800,000 is not funded,
cuts would have to be made
elsewhere since the schools
are required to provide for
operational expenses.
The Board asked staff to
go back through the
county’s operating budget
n
vme
included kindergarten
aides and technological
upgrades.
Parents who spoke were
also worried that the
county’s schools were getting a negative image due
to the recent conflict between the School Board and
Board of Supervisors.
People choose to move to
a community based on its
school system, and Isle of
Wight can’t afford to have
people move elsewhere,
said parent Aaron Millikin
of Carrolton.
Parent Corey Hearn of
Smithfield questioned why
instructional jobs were
slated for cuts when no
change was being made for
the “six figure” administrators.
“The budget is heavy on
administration and this is
where the cuts can be
made,” he said.
Neal
Johnson
of
Smithfield advocated for
raising taxes, as did School
Board member Herb
DeGroft, who gave the
Board a check for $450 to
cover his proposed tax increase.
Windsor Mayor Rita
Richardson, who taught for
30 years, also advocated for
a tax increase. Richardson
was alar med that the
schools were receiving the
same amount of money as
it had five years ago — despite rising expenses.
The School Board recently re-worked its initial
budget offering, which
asked for an additional $5
million from fiscal 2013 —
despite a request from the
Board of Supervisors to
submit a flat budget. After
a good deal of acrimonious
political wrangling, the
School Board returned to

it up to level funding from
last year. Some of that
amount is expected to cover
the expenses associated
with the new rescue squad
building.
When the Board began
discussing the school budget, Casteen took issue
with some of the budget
numbers provided by
school staff.
The schools initially
asked for an 18 percent budget increase from fiscal
2013, but has since submitted a flat budget request of
$23.5 million in local funding.
“I don’t know how you
[Casteen] can be so passionate about fire and rescue
and the sheriff, but not
about the kids,” Hall said.
The Board meets for another budget work session
Monday, May 20 at 10 a.m.
The Board is expected to
adopt the county’s operating budget and the school
budget at a special meeting
May 23.

and one channel interpreted Bailey’s comment as
a serious hope that the Confederacy would return.
Efforts to reach Bailey

Schools spokesperson
Kenita Bowers said Perera
felt uncomfortable with
those sorts of comments
being made in that setting.
Some people can be offended, Bowers said.
Perera thought the
Board should have been focusing on the budget rather
than making those comments and thought it was
best to leave the meeting,
Bowers said.

rubric system that allots

According to current
School Board policy, each
year the superintendent
must submit a work plan
and personal goals for the
upcoming school year.
The superintendent is
also required to meet with
the School Board for quarterly evaluations and an
annual evaluation prior to
June 30.
The details of the evalu-
ation are expressed in a
one-page policy and onepage evaluation form.
The School Board is exploring options for evaluating with the additional indicator, said school spokesperson Kenita Bowers.
The Board’s goal is to

Bowers said the new

“It was inappropriate
and I’m sorry that it happened. I haven’t spoken to
Mr. Bailey about it. He
hasn’t returned my calls,”
said Isle of Wight Board of
Supervisors Chair man
JoAnn Hall.
The Board probably
should have paused at that
point and addressed the
comment, but “everyone
was so tired and frustrated
at the time … it didn’t seem
like a big issue at the time,”
she said, adding that she
wasn’t aware the superintendent left the meeting.
“That was a comment
made by one board member
and it certainly doesn’t represent the feelings of the
board or other board members,” Hall said.
The comments were
made during the fourth of
a series of Monday morning budget meetings. Being
discussed when the comments were made were

emergency services and
fire and rescue budgets for

Poindexter said he
couldn’t
pursue
the
charges because the former
employer didn’t have criminal intent, the method of
accounting was convoluted
and Thayne had admitted
to mistakes in one of the
emails.
Poindexter said he believes Thayne is accusing
the employee of embezzlement because the employee
reported her to the Virginia Department of Labor
and Industry and Surry
County Animal Control
last year.
Thayne also said that
Terry and Poindexter bully

cruelty charges, which
were postponed in March,

fected, she said.
Thayne said she chose a
hunger strike because it
hurts herself and not others.
When asked how long
she plans to strike, Thayne
was resolute.
“I’ll do it till I’m dead. I
don’t care if it breaks
them,” she said.
Thayne contends that
Poindexter is purposely
keeping the animal cruelty
charges alive and avoiding
charging the former employee with embezzlement
to push her and DDB out of
the county.
“I don’t give a damn
what they do down there,”
said Poindexter about
DDB’s mission. “I’m not
against those types of interests — far from it.”
But Poindexter said he
wouldn’t proceed with the
embezzlement charges because he found no criminal
intent on behalf of the employee.
“No evidence whatsoever of criminal intent,”
said Poindexter, referencing emails in which the
former employee offered
means of mediation and
repayment.
“Is that what criminals
do, embezzlers?” he asked.
Poindexter also said
that emails between
Thayne, the for mer employee and another DDB
employee were convoluted

Physical therapist Julie Hull repeats therapy exercises with patient Ann Edwards, who experienced hip pain after a fall a few
months ago, at Tidewater Physical Therapy in Smithfield. Hull’s career came in at number nine on a list of 200 best and worst
jobs created by Career Cast.
How does your job rate?
By Abby Proch
Staff writer
It’s a running joke amongst
almost all workers that work,
well, stinks. But a recent report
has shown that at least some of
us should be pretty happy with
what we do.
Career Cast, a career search
website, recently unveiled its
rankings of the best — and downright worst — jobs in America,
based on income, environment,
job outlook and stress.
Among the top 10 were audiologist and physical therapist —
along with three other careers in
the medical field.
Audiologist Dr. Mavis Garrett,
owner of Maico Audiological Services, isn’t the least bit stunned
that her profession came near the
top of the list, preceded by actuary (#1) and biomedical and software engineers (#2 and #3, respectively).
Audiologist came in at number four because of its extremely
low stress, amenable working
environment and moderately
high hiring outlook. They make
about $68,000, according to Career Cast.
“Our world is getting noisier
and noisier, not quieter and quieter,” said Garrett, who, after
spending 30 years in the field,
Garrett has noticed a sharp rise
in job prospects.
“Finding work was not as easy
then,” said Garrett, who graduated in 1982. “You had to go to the job.”
Two years ago, she had a tough
time hiring a new audiologist.
“We really had to work hard to
get that position filled,” she said,
because the position now requires eight years of schooling
and a doctorate.
But it’s worth the effort, says
Garrett, because of the job satisfaction.
“You take a young child who
couldn’t hear and can hear — and
then the happiness that brings
the parent — that’s cool,” Garrett said.
Her only true hang-ups about
the job are that incoming patients
are skeptical and afraid of being
persuaded into buying expensive
hearing aids or services, and that
perception is fed, in part, by the
fact that insurance companies
often don’t cover some services.
Physical therapist Julie Hull,
clinical director at Tidewater
Physical Therapy in Smithfield,
also wasn’t surprised that her job
came in at number nine.
“We definitely don’t save
lives, but we do make them better,” she said.
“It’s really important to what
we do to be compassionate, because if we don’t, people will
think we don’t care,” Hull said.
Those considering the profes-

“I’ve enjoyed it. If you don’t like it, get out of it
and do something else.”
—Pete Edwards about being a farmer
sion should be science-oriented
but also have artistic flair, she
said, borrowing the American
Physical Therapy Association’s
motto “The science of healing,
the art of caring.”
Career Cast gave physical
therapist a similar review to that
of an audiologist. Physical therapists can earn an average of
$78,000.
Friday afternoon, Smithfield
resident Ann Edwards visited
Hull to alleviate hip pain stemming from a fall four months ago.
“She’s really sweet and compassionate,” said Edwards of
Hull. “She’s helped me a lot.”
Physical therapy ranks high
because of its low stress, comfortable environment and promising
job outlook.
Because she works at a private
practice, Hull’s version of stress
is much like anybody’s when
there’s plenty of things to do and
not enough time to do it.
But successes far outweigh the
stressors, she said.
“This is my highlight story of
my whole career,” said Hull,
starting a story about a former
patient who could “only blink his
eyes” after suffering from a spinal injury.
At his first appointment, the
man, in a wheelchair, pledged to
walk his daughter down the aisle
on her wedding day.
“I looked at him and said,
‘Let’s see what we get.’”
Within six months, the man
could walk with a cane, and a
year later, he walked his daughter down the aisle.
“He said there was no dry eye
in the house,” she said. “He
worked hard and I was able to facilitate the process.”
“Things like that happen all
the time on a much smaller
level,” she said.
Because Hull is always standing and delivering hands on care,
she suspects the physicality of
the job might force her to transition to teaching or more administrative work.
For all the positive sentiments
from the top of the list, an onslaught of horror stories could be
expected from those who work
near the bottom — the farmers,
roofers and enlisted military personnel.
Calls to a few roofers didn’t
elicit much comment, but one
said he liked his job “just fine.”
Roofers landed at #192 of the
#200 jobs surveyed because much
of their time is spent outside and
the low pay. Still, jobs are expected to grow by 18 percent.
Most enlisted military personnel spoken to rejected the notion
that their career deserves such a
sour ranking at #198. The career
also ranked highest in job stress.
A few, however, said it depends
on the branch of military.
Farmer Pete Edwards, who
tends Windhaven Farms in Central Hill, loves what he does, but
acknowledged it’s not for everybody.
His profession came in at #190.
Edwards farms cotton, corn, soybeans, wheat, hay and cattle.
“I think it has to be bred in
you. It takes a special person really,” he said.
Surry County Extension
Agent and farmer Glen Slade
agreed.
“I enjoy it. I’ve been doing it
all my life. It’s something you
kind of get attached to,” Slade said.
The most necessary of characteristics is faith, Edwards said.
Faith that the weather —his
biggest stressor — will cooperate.
Edwards has farmed since the
age of 15, and now at 65, still loves
what he does.
“All aspects …” he said, then
conceding, “I don’t like the dry
weather.”
“You can dodge a mud hole,
but you can’t dodge a dust bowl,”
said Edwards.
Farmer Billy Gwaltney mirrored Edward’s sentiments, but
right now things are good.
“With commodity prices
where they’re at, it’s a good time
to be a farmer,” he said.
Edwards felt the low ranking
wasn’t deserved.
“I think that’s kind of low on
the totem pole,” he said.
And though Edwards strictly
spoke of farming, his mantra just
might apply to others feeling as
if their career just isn’t cutting
it anymore.
“I’ve enjoyed it. If you don’t
like it, get out of it and do something else.”
Disclaimer
would be remiss if it didn’t
mention that newspaper reporter was the worst job on
the list. Career Cast cited
stressful deadlines, unpredictable schedules and poor
job outlook as the reason.

Congressional Gold Medal
— one of the highest civilian awards in the United
States.
The ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, May 18,
10 a.m. at Smithfield High
School.
White, 86, will be one of
five honored that day from
the Tidewater Chapter of
the Tuskegee Airmen in
Hampton.
Later that evening, the
men will be honored during military appreciation
night at Langley Speedway.
White’s status as a member of the Tuskegee Airmen was largely unknown
in Smithfield until January, when he was invited to
President Barack Obama’s
second inauguration in
Washington, D.C.
The Congressional Gold
Medal has been awarded
since the American Revolution, and the first to receive
one was George Washington.

Investigators are considering the possibility that
the Isle of Wight and
Southampton burglaries
are related, according to
the Isle of Wight County
Sheriff ’s Office.
In the single case where
a resident was at home, the
intruder fled immediately
when he was spotted and
there was not physical confrontation, according to the
Isle of Wight Sheriff ’s Office.
The resident described
the intruder as a black
man.
The Isle of Wight
Sheriff ’s Office has also received reports of two suspicious vehicles that can be
associated with the burglaries — a gold Kia hatchback occupied by two black
men and a small red or burgundy car with three black
men, one of which had
dreadlocks.
