Council Approves B&B, Closes Alley, Talks Trash

South Boston Council unanimously approved a special use permit allowing Carolyn and William Penick to operate a bed and breakfast at 2020 Jeffress Boulevard during its Monday night meeting.
The site, located in a Residential-2 Medium Density area, was approved with one condition recommended by the planning commission, the permit is limited to the Penicks’ application and will revert should ownership change.
Council’s action followed a public hearing in which William Penick spoke on behalf of the application, and no one opposed it.
Council also agreed to meet with Dewberry & Davis representatives at its Jan. 28 work session to discuss options for Washington-Coleman Elementary’s future use.
“I think we could get a better planning road map,” explained South Boston Manager Ted Daniel.
Supervisors agreed last week to turn the former elementary school over to the town, and town officials are exploring use options including a community center and after-school programs.
During Monday night’s meeting, Daniel noted Dewberry & Davis’ experience designing schools for the county, suggesting that experience could benefit the town in designing future use. The town manager also suggested the town might be able to phase cost options in planning.
Questioned about residents’ use of the old National Guard Armory, South Boston Recreation Director Matthew McCargo told councilmen, “We have outgrown our building.” The director said “everything is sports” at the armory and noted 140 seniors now participate in the exercise group held there.
In other business, attorney George Bagwell sought trash pick-up at Westside Mobile Home Park on behalf of his client and park owner Wayne Stevens.
Trash had previously been collected by the town at a central green box location in the park. Town officials told Stevens that the town has “gone out of the business of green boxes” since the landfill closed and no longer has the ability to service the boxes.
Bagwell suggested individual residence garbage collection at the nearest available public street for the 110 trailer homes. The attorney said residents could bring the garbage to the roadside as other South Boston residents do. “These people pay taxes,” emphasized Bagwell, and “should be treated fairly.”
Stevens said that he was promised that “nothing would change” (regarding police coverage and garbage pick-up) if he did not object to town annexation. He said there has been garbage pick-up at the park for 34 years.
While Stevens praised the town’s police protection at Westside Mobile Home Park, he said that he sought curbside trash pick-up in October following notification the town would no longer service green boxes.
“We are out of the green box business,” said Mayor Carroll Thackston, noting the landfill’s recent closure.
“Council sees no discrimination against long-term green box users,” added Daniel. “I see no discrimination regarding economic status or any other.”
Currently Stevens foresees a $15 per month fee per residence for commercial trash pick-up at the site, with commercial charges running about $1,650 per month or $19,800 annually at the trailer park.
Council took no action on Stevens’ request.
Also Monday night, council unanimously approved selling Leon Brade a 20’ x 50’ portion of the alley behind his house on Suggs Avenue for $980, and agreed to close the unopened alley.
Previously, the South Boston man had come before council several times seeking a resolution regarding the alley, which he said drew trespassers.
By written deed, transfer of the remaining parts of the alley will go to the adjacent property owners evenly. Brade agreed to pay for the legal cost for having a deed prepared to transfer the remaining lots to property owners. He also agreed to reimburse the town for surveying costs accrued to date due to staking out the lot.
Councilmen also reappointed several residents to commissions and councils Tuesday night. Fields Thomas and Harriet Claiborne were reappointed to new four-year terms on the planning commission.
Charles Phillips and Vinnie Sarnataro were reappointed to new two-year terms on the improvement council.
Council also approved its 2008 meeting schedule during the Monday meeting. Council meets each month on the second Monday night at 7 p.m. at 502 Yancey Street. The last Monday night in each month, council meets at 5:45 p.m. for a work session. The third Monday, bi-monthly, council holds a joint meeting with supervisors and Halifax Town Council at Bethune Complex in Halifax. That meeting is at 6 p.m.

Anderson New School Board Chairman

The leadership of the Halifax County School Board will be a mixture of the old and the new in 2008.
Steve Anderson, veteran board member from ED-2, was elected chairman on a split vote. Joe Gasperini, newly-elected board member from ED- 4, will serve as vice-chairman for 2008.
Veteran board member Arthur Reynolds was also nominated to serve as chairman, and a roll call vote resulted in a 4-4 tie. Reynolds then withdrew his name from nomination.
“In the interest of unity I would like to withdraw my name from nomination,” Reynolds said.
The board then elected Anderson on a 6-2 vote, with Stuart Comer and Walter Potts opposing. The voice vote for Gasperini as vice-chair was unanimous.
Upon assuming his new position, Anderson thanked Mac McDowell for his years of service as chairman of the board, and he also welcomed the five new board members.
Robin Mahan and Amy Throckmorton were reappointed clerk and deputy clerk of the board for 2008.
The board also changed the meeting dates for all school board meetings for the year. ED-1 board member Devin Snead proposed a motion to hold all regular monthly meetings on the second Thursday of each month due to a conflict ED-7 board member Stuart Comer has with the second Monday of the month.
Historically, the board has held its meetings the second Monday of each month, and Gasperini proposed another motion to continue the regular monthly meeting night. The vote on Gasperini’s motion resulted in a 4-4 tie, thus defeating the motion. The vote on Snead’s motion to hold further meetings on the second Thursday of the month was 6-2, with Mac McDowell and Gasperini voting against.
In other business, the board recognized Jan. 14-18 as Principals Appreciation Week in the form of a resolution. Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has designated this week as such and has forwarded a certificate of recognition to the school system.
Superintendent Paul Stapleton reported to the board on the Jan. 4 meeting school officials held with law enforcement. Stapleton said they have asked local law enforcement agencies to work with all school administrators on crisis situations. Stapleton told the board the Sheriff’s Office, South Boston Police Department, Virginia State Police and the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office were represented at that meeting.
Snead proposed a motion to establish a School Safety Committee composed of several school board members, school faculty members and law enforcement. That committee would visit county schools and make recommendations to the board regarding safety issues in the schools.
ED-7 board member Walter Potts suggested an amendment to the motion to include several parents on the committee. The amended motion was approved unanimously by the board. Any parent who would like to volunteer to serve on the safety committee is asked to call Robin Mahan at the school board office at 476-3120.
Schools Finance Director Bill Covington discussed with the board the proposed 2008-09 budget timeline. The board adopted two evening work sessions Feb. 5 and Feb. 19, and a public hearing the night of Feb. 28.
Covington also reported that the school system is approximately $100,000 over the current budgeted amount for fuel for transporting students to school. Covington also said the number of students currently enrolled in the county’s schools is slightly below the number projected.
Covington said the $100,000 could possibly be made up by buying fewer busses this school year. He said the county usually purchases about 10 busses each year, and that number could be reduced by buying four to five fewer this year.
Deputy Superintendent Larry Clark updated the board on the class pictures to be displayed at Halifax County Middle School. He said a number of photos of graduating classes at Mary Bethune High School have been obtained and copied.
Clark requested that anyone who has Bethune class photos, and wouldn’t mind having them copied to be displayed, should call the school administration office. Other photos are being restored, and Clark said they should be ready to be placed in the school in March.
The next meeting of the school board will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 14, at Halifax County Middle School.

Gluhareff Found Dead

The former head of a Halifax County school for troubled boys was found dead in Person County over the weekend.
Person County Sheriff Dewey Jones said the body of Robert S. Gluhareff, 63, of South Boston, was discovered by Person County deputies Sunday morning in a wooded area off Edwin Robertson Road.
Jones said deputies found the body at 7:37 a.m. while on patrol. The North Carolina State Medical Examiner was called to the scene and determined Gluhareff’s death was the result of a single gunshot wound. Jones added the medical examiner said the wound was self-inflicted.
The sheriff said witnesses observed Gluhareff’s vehicle parked at that location from Friday night until the discovery of the body Sunday morning. It is believed Gluhareff died sometime Saturday.
According to published reports, Gluhareff, former head of Wellspring Academy, had pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court last year to two charges related to bank fraud and one each to mail and tax fraud. All other charges against him were dismissed.
Gluhareff was sentenced in October to serve 30 months in a federal prison and pay more than $500,000 in restitution. He filed suit to vacate his sentence Dec. 26, 2007, in Virginia Western Federal District Court in Roanoke, naming the U.S. Government as defendant.
Gluhareff is survived by his wife, two sons, two grandchildren, his mother and two sisters.

J. Burton: Daytona 500 A Different Kind Of Win

By Joe Chandler
Sports Editor
The Daytona 500 is one of the special gems in NASCAR racing. Winning the Great American Race is a dream that many drivers, including South Boston native Jeff Burton, hope one day to turn into reality.
“Over Christmas, I went to Ward’s house and his Daytona 500 trophy was in his house there,” Burton said during a media interview Monday during a break in pre-season testing at Daytona International Speedway.
“I don’t know what it was about it, but I saw that trophy and it was like the first time I had ever seen it. My son was down there. He’s seven. I said “You know what that is?” He’s like, “Yeah, that’s the Daytona 500 trophy.” It was pretty special seeing that trophy.
“Ward is obviously not in a position to have a ride right now,” Burton continued.
“Having that trophy sitting there, that’s the biggest race you can possibly win in our sport. That’s something that no one can ever take away from him, and that’s something that he will always cherish and his family will. That’s a special thing.”
Winning the Daytona 500 is special in any year. This year’s running of the Daytona on Sunday, February 17, is even more special in that it will be the 50th anniversary of one of the country’s premier racing events.
“Any win is big, but, if you look at a trophy like that and have that sitting in your house, that’s a different kind of win,” Burton said.
“It’s one of those that lasts forever, and it has so much meaning, the importance of it. The 50th anniversary only enlightens and enhances that. It would be really special.”
Burton enters the 2008 season after having qualified for The Chase for the second year in a row last year. The South Boston native finished eight in the final standings last season after having finished seventh in 2006.
Driving for Richard Childress Racing, Burton finished third in last year’s Daytona 500. However, things are much different this season with NASCAR’s Car Of Tomorrow being used in all NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races this season and this being the first Daytona 500 featuring the new cars.
Burton said Monday that how well he fares in this year’s Daytona 500 will depend upon what kind of race unfolds.
“Handling is going to be really important,” Burton pointed out.
“We’re going to focus a great deal on trying to make our cars drive as good as they can and then getting the right kind of race so that you’re in the position you need to be in with the equipment set up the way it can.”
Burton was down on the speed chart during Monday’s testing session which featured single-car runs.
“If you look at our stuff right now, we’re not exhibiting enough speed to go out and win it by brute force,” Burton noted.
“We’re going to have to be smart and we’re going to have to have the race go our way. Now, I’m making this assessment after a half a day of testing, so be careful. I might change my mind in a month. But, right now, we’re going to have to be smart.”
Burton says a good deal of strategy goes into winning the Daytona 500.
“You saw last year the two cars that finished first and second, at no point did they exhibit the brute force that you would say that’s the car to beat,” Burton said.
“But, they put themselves in the right position at the right time and then took advantage of the situation they were in. I think that’s what we’re going to have to do.”
Last year’s Daytona 500 was one of the more thrilling races of the season to watch as Burton’s teammate Kevin Harvick raced to his first Daytona 500 victory. Burton said that while last year’s race was a thriller nobody knows what this year’s race will be like with the Car of Tomorrow.
“The last 50 laps of the Daytona 500 were incredible,” Burton remarked.
“The 120 laps getting to that was, what? Nobody remembers. It was single-file, not a lot going on. Nobody remembers that, but they remember the great finish.
“WE don’t know what this car (the Car Of Tomorrow) is going to do, and we don’t know what kind of race we’re going to get,” continued Burton.
“We had a great race, a really exciting race last year because we had a flurry of cautions that kept bunching everybody back up. The cautions fell the way they fell and made the race very exciting.
“This car has the opportunity to have every bit as exciting a race as that car (last year’s car), provided things happen the way it needs to happen,” Burton added.
“Not every race is going to be like we had last year at the Daytona 500. This car doesn’t preclude us from having the opportunity to have great races. I can assure you of that.”

Comets Swimmers Sweep Quad Meet

By Doug Ford
G-V Staff Writer
The Comets boys and girls swim teams won 18 of 22 events Friday in a quad meet sweep of Martinsville, Bassett and Magna Vista high schools.
Halifax won the boys swim meet with a total score of 452, followed by Martinsville with 335, Bassett with 271 and Magna Vista with 48.
The Comets girls collected 457 points to win their meet, with Martinsville placing second with 398 points. Bassett and Magna Vista finished with 109 and 27 points, respectively in the girls meet.
Comets coach Spencer Ferguson noted that times for both boys and girls are improving as the Western Valley District Meet approaches.
“This meet was really fun and I was very proud of all the swimmers,” said Ferguson.
“There was an obvious improvement in the starts and turns. Practice pays off and this meet was proof of it,” added Ferguson, who anticipates further drops in times before the district meet scheduled for January 28 at Hargrave.
“Overall, I’m pleased with the effort of this team,” he said.
“We can be better and those that desire to get better will do just that. It’s all in the times.”
