Will King, Headmaster of Norfolk Collegiate School, presented plans to the Mayor’s Wards Corner Task Force for a new Fine Arts Center to be located on the Campus of Norfolk Collegiate’s Upper School. This 31,000 square foot fine arts center will have a 425 seat theater, an on-site student art gallery, classrooms, workshops and practice studios. The facility will be made available at night to the community for a slight charge for security and janitorial services. This is a great addition to the Greater Wards Corner Partnership area. There is a 20 million dollar capital campaign in progress. For information on how to donate to the campaign, contact Norfolk Collegiate’s Director of Development at 757-480-2348.

Last night at the Holiday Inn Select, Pilot Online reports, Councilman Barclay Winn said in his victory speech
“Developing Wards Corner is right at the top of my list. And we need to work on making sure real estate assessments are equitable.”
Councilman Winn’s leadership is making a difference in the redevelopment efforts of the Greater Wards Corner Partnership Area.
Councilwoman Daun Hester also was reelected last night. In recent months, Councilwoman Hester has shown a renewed interest in the redevelopment of our area. Her participation in the Mayor’s Wards Corner Task Force is much appreciated and needed.

Vote today
Posted: 06 May 2008 06:00 AM CDT
 Local elections are being held in Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Norfolk today. In Chesapeake and Portsmouth, the elections include the mayor, some city council members and some school board members. In Norfolk, council members from superwards 6 and 7 will be elected. The Virginian Pilot has put together a voter guide with links to the candidate’s bios and answers to certain questions. Video interviews of the mayoral candidates in Chesapeake and Portsmouth are also available. The polls are open from 6am to 7pm.
With all of the coverage of the national race, these local races have been pretty much under the radar, which is a shame. These are the folks who will be making decisions that effect your every day life. All politics is local. Sorry, but the next president isn’t going to be deciding what your real estate tax rate will be or what your water rate will be. The next president won’t be weighing in on a regional transportation authority. These women and men will. Given the dismal turnout for local elections, your vote really does matter. Don’t let the few make the decision for you. Go out and vote.

Please get yourself, family and neighbors out to vote in this very important election. Former Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill once said, “All politics is local”. How very true that quote is when we consider how many ways our Council representatives can effect our lives.

Lt. Todd Cox’s hometown Altoona, PA. television station, WJAC, reported on April 28th that Lt. Cox was killed in a drive-by shooting. Does this television station know something that we haven’t been told?
WJAC quotes Lt. Cox’s mother, Nancy Cox:
I was really shocked when they showed up at my door to tell me they had some bad news to tell me about my son. It was very very hard
Nancy Cox said Lt. Cox always would remember his family no matter where he was in the world. She received a package from him the day he was murdered.
She said
I have thimbles from all of the places he was. He always sent me a thimble. And I have all of his cards and his letters
Nancy Cox had planned on visiting her son this summer. She hadn’t seen her son in two years.
