Man Killed In Saturday Crash

A 42-year-old Alton man died in a single-vehicle wreck on Route 658 in Cluster Springs Saturday night, according to Virginia State Police Information Officer Sergeant David Cooper.
Jeffrey Allen Mosier, of Traynham Grove Road, died after the 1993 Toyota pickup truck he was riding in ran off the right side of the road, overcorrected, went back across the roadway and overturned, Cooper said.
As a result of the accident, Mosier, who was not wearing a seat belt, was partially ejected from the vehicle, according to Cooper.
The truck was driven by Donald William Brown, 42, of Alton, who was charged with DUI following the wreck, Cooper said.
Brown was also injured during the wreck, sustaining a broken leg and several lacerations, Cooper added.
The accident occurred at approximately 9:05 p.m., three-tenths of a mile west of Route 797, police said.
The vehicle is considered a total loss, Cooper said.
Virginia State Trooper P.W. Leath is the investigating officer.
Funeral services for Mr. Mosier will be held in the Powell Funeral Home Chapel on Wednesday at 2 p.m.

Four Restaurants Struck By Thieves

Police are investigating a string of break-ins at four South Boston eateries that occurred Thursday night, according to South Boston Police Lt. B.K, Lovelace.
CJ’s Country Kitchen on Huell Matthew’s Highway and Boston Buffet and Grill, Napoli’s Italian Grill and Yamato Japanese Restaurant, all on Halifax Road, were struck by thieves, according to police.
According to investigating Officer S. Song’s report, entry to CJ’s was gained through a rear door and an undisclosed amount of cash was reported stolen from the business.
Police believe thieves entered Boston Buffet through a side window and stole an undisclosed amount of cash, according to Corporal S.T. Moser’s report.
At Napoli’s, the front door glass was found broken out, according to Investigator T.M. VanAernem’s report.
An undisclosed amount of cash was reported stolen, police added.
Lastly, the front door glass was also found broken at Yamato’s, Lovelace said.
According to investigating Officer C.L. Tidwell’s report, cash was reported stolen from the restaurant.
On Saturday, a burglary was reported at True Value on Broad Street in South Boston, according to Sergeant R.E. Redd.
The break-in occurred sometime Friday night and entry was gained through a rear door, police said.
Two chainsaws, a Poulan and an Echo, were reported stolen from the store, Lovelace said.
Anyone with information about these break-ins is asked to call the South Boston Police Department at 575-4273.

Electric Rate Stability Hogan, House Focus

On the eve of the 2007 session of the Virginia General Assembly, Del. Clarke Hogan, R-60, said he will proffer legislation that could protect the state’s utility customers from increasing electric rates.
The session gets under way this week with opening ceremonies at historic Jamestown.
“I will introduce a bill this session that will create long-term stability in the state’s electrical pricing policy,” Hogan said yesterday. “Under existing law, electrical companies can go into a market and open that market, but there’s no competition and electrical providers can charge what they want.
“Without competition, there’s no regulation. What’s to keep them from charging what they want to charge? Who else are Virginians going to buy electricity from?” he added.
The Halifax County delegate said the move is part of an ongoing effort to bolster the economy of Southside.
“I believe that not restructuring the state’s policy will damage the economy and hurt this district. particularly because of the industries already here and the people on fixed incomes,” he said.
According to Hogan, for the first time the state’s electric providers have an open mind regarding the proposal.
“We’ve seen, for the first time, a move on Dominion’s (Virginia Power) part to turn to a program that can protect consumers,” he said. “My hope is that we’ll be able to strike a compromise that both ensures their profitability and protects consumers from rate increases.”
Hogan said the profitability of the electrical providers is certainly a consideration.
“You have to accommodate those needs, but at the same time we’re not going to tolerate exorbitant increases on the price of electricity,” he said. “But for the first time we’ve seen the acknowledgment that the present system isn’t serving the public interest and the willingness on their part to make some changes to the policy.
“I’ve been advocating it for years but we now have the chance to make some real progress,” Hogan added. “Whether we do or not remains to be seen.”
Transportation
The Halifax County delegate said he is cautiously optimistic that despite differences across the aisle, an agreement on the state’s transportation funding can be reached during this year’s session.
“There is some chance of working out a solution that will benefit the state,” he said, “but I don’t want to either overemphasize or underemphasize the difficulties that face us in trying to work out a solution because the differences between the governor, the Senate and the House are tremendous.”
With all 100 House seats and 40 Senate seats up for grabs in November, the Democratic governor confronted conservative tax hawks, particularly in the House of Delegates, last week with a dilemma: approve a new stream of money to ease traffic congestion or answer to restive voters this fall.
Last Thursday, Kaine asked for nearly $1 billion a year in new taxes and fees to be earmarked for a backlog of transportation needs estimated near $100 billion.
At its heart is a 2 percent boost in the sales tax on new cars. The increase would require Virginians to pay the same 5 percent sales tax on cars as they do for other merchandise and generate about $360 million in its first year. It would increase the price of a new car by about $500, according to the Virginia Automobile Dealers Association.
“What you’re seeing in his proposal is a re-presentation of the proposal he made last year,” Hogan said. “It doesn’t represent any willingness on his part to seek a compromise to solve this problem.”
But the delegate suggested there could be political motives behind the governor’s move.
“He could think it’s better politically for us to not reach a solution because it could benefit his party in November,” he said. “I hope that isn’t the case, but that’s the only thing I can see in his approach at this point.”
Hogan said that despite the difficulties, legislators will work diligently to address the congestion problem in the state’s most populous regions.
“We’re going to work awfully hard to come up with a solution notwithstanding the profound differences between the positions on the issue,” he said.
Hogan can be reached at his Richmond office at (804) 698-1060 or online at DelCHogan@house.state.va.us .

Turnovers Doom Comets

By Joe Chandler
Sports Editor
Halifax County High School varsity boys basketball coach Ron Parson was ready to go back to the drawing board.
A multitude of turnovers and fouls had left his team saddled with a 68-59 loss to Franklin County here Friday night in the Western Valley District opener for both teams.
The Comets had had the upper hand twice, once in the first half and again late in the third quarter and, on both occasions a spate of turnovers allowed Franklin County to get back into contention.
It was the second time that proved to be the killer, as Franklin County gained the lead with a minute and a half to go in the third quarter and never relinquished it.
When the game ended, the Comets had logged 16 turnovers, had committed 28 fouls and had allowed Franklin County to shoot 40 free throws with the Eagles hitting 19 of 26 in the second half.
“We’re going to have to go back and re-evaluate this,” Parson said after the game.
“What I thought we could do on a consistent basis we’re just not doing it. We’re just not where I thought we would be. It’s disappointing when the guys you count on go out there and don’t play anywhere near the same they had played the previous game.”
Halifax County also felt the impact of its foul situation, especially when it came to Leon Glenn, one of the team’s two best post players.
Glenn picked up two fouls in the first four and a half minutes of the game and went to the each. He played briefly in the second quarter before picking up his third foul with 2:53 left in the first half. Glenn returned in the fourth quarter and picked up his fourth foul less than 30 second into the fourth quarter and had to go back to the bench.
“Leon probably didn’t play but about a quarter the whole game,” Parson noted.
“We don’t have a strong inside game anyway and he’s one of the better ones inside.”
Allen Stephens picked up his third foul early in the third quarter and had to play cautiously the rest of the night before fouling out late in the game. The Comets’ other post player, Russell White, was injured with just over four minutes left in the game and was not able to return to the game.
Still, it was turnovers that proved to be most deadly to the Comets.
The Comets fell behind early but rallied with an 8-0 run in the first three minutes of the second quarter to erase a six-point deficit at the end of the first quarter and move to a 17-14 lead.
A three-pointer tied the game at 14-14 with the tying basket coming from Rodale Pippen who led the Comets with 15 points in the contest.
Halifax County led by as many as six points in the second half, that coming when Russell White hit one of two free throws with 2:56 left in the half.
The Comets’ lead didn’t last long. Three consecutive turnovers on the Comets’ last three possessions of the first half opened the door for Franklin County to score five unanswered points in the final 1:35 of the half and deadlock the game at 26-26 at halftime.
Despite piling up fouls and having Glenn, sitting on the bench with three fouls and Stephens, playing with three fouls, the Comets led by as many as five points in the third quarter.
But, another round of turnovers late in the quarter, allowed Franklin County to score six unanswered points in the final minute and a half and pull away to a 43-38 lead at the end of the third quarter.
The Comets cut the Franklin County lead to five points on a three-pointer by Brandon with 7:20 left in the game. However, an 8-0 run by the Eagles over the next minute and a half put the Comets behind 54-41 with 5:36 left.
Later, trailing by 10 points, the Comets got a pair of baskets from Pippen, one a three-pointer to cut the Eagles’ lead to five points at 57-52 with 1:40 left. After Franklin County rebuilt its lead to eight points, Pippen and another three-pointer to make it a five-point game at 60-55 with 1:03 left.
The Comets were forced to commit fouls after that to stop the clock and attempt to get the ball back. However, Franklin County hit all eight of its free throws in the final 55 seconds to preserve the win.
“At the end of the third quarter when they (Franklin County) went up by five, their confidence jumped,” Parson pointed out.
“They knew they were in good shape. I told the guys you have momentum givers and you have momentum takers. When you’re out there on offense and are throwing the ball to them and they’re shooting the ball three or four times on rebounds, it gives them confidence.”
While Friday’s game against Franklin County was a tough one, things don’t get any easier for the Comets this week.
Halifax County will host New Horizon here Tuesday at 7 p.m. and will host arch-rival GW Friday night at 7:30 p.m.
Parson said playing New Horizon will give his team an opportunity to execute whatever offensive and defensive changes may be made in today’s practice.
“New Horizon which is really a college team,” Parson said.
“The only good thing about it is GW won’t be better than them, so we’ll get a chance to execute our game plan against them.”

Lady Comets Get Huge Win Over Franklin County

By Doug Ford
GV Staff Writer
The Comets varsity girls basketball team responded to a 52-point drubbing by Carlisle in a big way, opening its Western Valley District campaign with a 64-59 win at Franklin County Friday.
Taniqua Younger scored a game-high 24 points for the Comets, 16 after halftime, while Key Ferrell added 11 and Kemper Russell eight points.
Shauna Harris finished with six points, Lashunda Davis five points, Talesha Medley and Markeshia Coleman four points, and Ashley Coleman two points, as Halifax improved to 7-6 on the season.
Abigail Baumann led Franklin County with 16 points, while Shea Smith added 12.
Halifax had not won a district game since it defeated Patrick Henry 53-40 here February 18, 2004, in a WVD Tournament play-in game, and last won a district game on the road that same year with a 64-51 win at E.C. Glass.
Comets coach Ray Reaves said that Friday’s win could not have come at a better time.
“This is a very big win for us, especially after the beat-down we took the other night,” he began.
“The girls regrouped, refocused and played very hard for four full quarters. It shows some character for our girls to get beaten by 52 points on our home floor just two days before and come back to get a win on the road in our first district game of the season.”
Russell had six first-quarter points, Younger four, Davis two and Harris one as Halifax took a 13-8 lead, and Younger added four more points in the second quarter.
Harris had three and Medley and Ferrell two each, as the Comets held a 24-21 halftime lead.
Younger broke loose for nine points in the third quarter and Ferrell for five points, while Markeshia Coleman and Harris hit combined to hit three of four foul shots to give Halifax a 43-37 lead with a quarter remaining.
Younger added seven fourth-quarter points, Ferrell four and Davis three, while Markeshia Coleman nailed a big three-pointer. Russell added a basket and Ashley Coleman three of four shots from the charity stripe to hold the Eagles at bay.
The Comets got key contributions from all of its starting five and from several on the bench to get the win, said Reaves.
“We got big minutes and big defensive rebounds from Taniqua, Shauna and Talesha at crucial times in the game, and big baskets from Key, Kemper and Lashunda when we needed them,” noted Reaves.
“Our guards were able to handle the pressure Franklin County put on us, and our post players were able to finish around the basket.
“We got big minutes out of Katie Barnett, Markeshia Coleman and Ashley Coleman, they stepped on the floor when our starters needed a rest or got into foul trouble and contributed very nicely.
“They went out and played very good defense and forced Franklin County to work very hard on the offensive end of the floor.”
The Comets needed to reach a point where they were as competitive and focused as they were at the beginning of the season, and they took a giant step toward that goal Friday, according to Reaves.
“We watched a lot of film on our day off and saw a lot of things we did well early in the season, and also how pitifully we played the past two games.
“We then focused on district play and realized that when we play up to our capabilities, we can compete with anyone on our schedule. We had to find whatever we had at the beginning of the season and get it back.”
With games here Wednesday against William Campbell and against a tough GW team in Danville Friday, the win against the Eagles came at a most opportune time, according to Reaves.
“It’s my first win at Franklin County as a coach, and we needed to rebound after the whipping we took the other night.
“And, we got back a little of the confidence, focus and determination we lost over the holidays.”
The game here Wednesday against William Campbell is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m.

Swimmers Improve

By Doug Ford
GV Staff Writer
The Comets boys and girls swim teams each finished fourth among Western Valley District (WVD) schools in a recent WVD “preview” held Thursday at Hargrave Aquatic Club.
Halifax had finished the 2006 portion of its schedule with a meet on the road against Magna Vista and Martinsville, followed by a home meet with E.C. Glass.
The Comets girls recorded wins against both Magna Vista and Martinsville, while the boys swimmers defeated Magna Vista and were edged by Martinsville.
Three days later, both the Comets boys and girls swim teams were defeated at home by district powerhouse E.C. Glass.
Comets swim coach Spencer Ferguson said that the team is continuing to improve as the Western Valley Meet (January 19) approaches.
“We swam well against Magna Vista and Martinsville, and the boys came close to sweeping both their meets.
“E.C. Glass is always dominant in the district, they’re very deep and talented each year, but we still were competitive in several events.”
The WVD Preview was a preview in name only, with Chatham Hall and Virginia Episcopal School swimming in the girls meet, and Hargrave and Virginia Episcopal School competing in the boys meet.
That did not give Ferguson and the other district coaches a true assessment of each team’s capabilities as the district meet approaches.
“As a result of the inclusion of three non-district schools, some of my faster swimmers were placed in slower heats to accommodate the non-district schools,” explained Ferguson.
“I don’t think the final results are a good reflection of how hard the swimmers are working or give an accurate account of how much their times have improved, compared to the rest of the district.
“Still, I think everyone has improved on their times and we’re extending each swimmer’s distances in practice to build endurance for both upcoming meets and the district meet,” added Ferguson.
