Hermitage Eastern Shore hosted Onley Preschool’s 2018 graduating class for a Halloween celebration. The children enjoyed trick or treating, games, and lunch with the residents. The residents and their family members enjoyed interacting with the ghosts, goblins, scarecrows and superheroes from Onley Preschool. This effort was made possible by Matt Parker, Ted Cathey, Hope Wallace and other team members, to bring the residents of the Hermitage joy and laughter. A good time was had by all.

The responsibility of school board members is not for personal gain or a political appointment. The job responsibilities and guidelines are established by the Virginia General Assembly. The major leadership function of the school board is to: • Set the vision and goals for the district • Adopt policies that give the district direction to set priorities and achieve its goals • Hire and evaluate the superintendent • Adopt and oversee the annual budget • Manage the governance process for employees of the district On Tuesday, November 7, citizens will be going to the polls to cast their vote for matters that will affect the future of the community. In Accomack County, on the ballot, will be the issue of Election of School Board. Ballot Statement Question: Shall the method of selecting the school board be changed from appointment by the School Board Selection Committee to direct election by the voters? ___ YES or ____NO Our citizens need to focus on the issues that affect our children and the future of our educational system. Our school board needs to continue to have diverse, qualified applicants, and members who ensure the effective and successful governance of the public school management system. The Accomack County School Board is not political and they operate as a team, not for personal agendas and/or propaganda. We need School Board members who are dedicated and committed to serve all children. We need our community to stand together to protect and support having a neutral, effective School Board. Get the Facts: Appointed Boards • Each candidate is vetted and must submit to an interview that they cannot control • Process focuses on qualifications of the candidate rather than popularity or where they live • To ensure diversity, Member is more insulated from political pressure • Member is more insulated from public opinion Elected Boards • Community may pay more attention to school issues if the citizen must be voted on to the position • Member tends to respond strongly to public opinion • Member is more responsive to political pressure • Citizens may be able to vote for the board member who will advocate for the schools their children attend and not for the best candidate • Member maybe somewhat less apt to openly discuss difficult decisions • Studies show that elections are held separately from state or federal elections, the voter turnout is low and special-interest groups (teachers, administrators, religious groups, people with axes to grind) could easily dominate a board • The board may not be diverse or representative of the community • School budget is preponderance of county budget but elected school board would not be accountable to school board • Many qualified individuals are reluctant to subject themselves to the personal abuse and expense of an election campaign • Citizens who are unhappy with an elected board member have no influence over elected board members from another district • Member tends to be supportive of single issues, micromanaging, and special interest group interferences

What does your vote mean? A “YES” vote means you want an elected school board. A “NO” vote means you want to keep the appointed school board. Read the question carefully and Vote “NO TO ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD” Things You Should Know: Board members spend 50- 60 hours per month working board materials (reading materials, attending meetings and committee work, attending community meeting and school functions, etc.) Board members must be knowledgeable on local, state, and federal regulations and policies on school matters. Election campaign costs range from $1,000 to $5,000. Accomack County School Board members are given a yearly stipend of $3,000.00. Accomack County Public Schools serves 5,300 students the racial breakdown is: White-2075; Black-1823; Hispanic-1181; Haitian-158; and Asian, American Indian, Pacific Islander-63. In an election process, many of these parents will be underrepresented and/or would not participate in the voting process. Research indicates in an elective board, the member is overwhelmed with the function and/or the responsibility of the board, then they resign before their term ends. Thus an appointment group now selects the candidate to fulfill the elected term of position. Until 1992, school boards in Virginia were appointed by the governing board of each locality or by a special school board selection commission tasked with these appointments. The General Assembly “resisted efforts to change the method for choosing school board members because of the belief that the schools should be insulated from politics.” Studies indicate that it is the community’s attitude toward its schools, as measured by its interest, responsiveness, enthusiasm and pride, that largely determines how effective a board will be. Board members work as a team and not a power of one. Be informed to make a wise decision on Tuesday, November 7, 2017. Voting is your right, privilege and responsibility. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. This is your community and your voice counts. How did this matter of elected school board come to Accomack County citizens? In 2016, a certain citizen was not selected to serve on the Accomack County School Board after serving briefly to complete a vacated seat, and in turn started a campaign to change the selection process. Board members are about serving the students, not for personal agendas and spreading propaganda. Our school system is about educating our children; it’s not about politics and adhering to personal agendas. We need to stand for the issues of educating children, keeping accountability and transparency open to all, not spreading propaganda or stimulating personal gain.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY AQUA VIRGINIA, INC., FOR AN INCREASE IN RATES CASE NO. PUR-2017-00082 Aqua Virginia, Inc., has applied for approval to increase its water and sewer rates to produce an increase in water revenues of $1,488,998 and in wastewater revenues of $399,069. A Hearing Examiner appointed by the Commission will hear the case on April 24, 2018, at 10 a.m. Further information about this case is available on the SCC website at: http://www.scc.virginia.gov/case. On August 1, 2017, Aqua Virginia, Inc. (“Aqua Virginia” or “Company”), filed an application with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) for an increase in water and sewer rates (“Application”). Aqua Virginia filed the Application pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 56 of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings.

The Company requests authority to increase rates for water and sewer service to produce an increase in water revenues of $1,488,998 and in wastewater revenues of $399,069. According to Aqua Virginia, the proposed rate increase would constitute an 11.0% increase in the Company’s water revenues and a 5.4% increase in wastewater revenues. The Company asserts that a capital structure consisting of 49.95% long-term debt and 50.05% common equity and an authorized return on equity capital of 10.60% are appropriate for rate making in this proceeding.

In addition to the revenue increases, the Company requests authorization to make changes to the Rules and Regulations of its tariff. These changes include: (1) a new section regarding controls on substances disposed of into the wastewater system; and (2) elimination of sewer volumetric allowances or portable hand-held irrigation deduction meters.

Through its Application, Aqua Virginia also seeks to combine two of the water rate groups and create one new water rate group and one new wastewater rate group for several of the recently-acquired systems, while reducing the differences between the Company’s rate groups to continue the approved progress toward uniform consolidated rates for water and sewer service in accordance with the Commission’s policy of gradualism in adjustment of rates.

The Company asserts it has made substantial investments in water and wastewater infrastructure in the Commonwealth, including significant efforts to replace mains and other aging infrastructure that have reached the end of their useful lives. The Company explains that to achieve its goal of a 100-year replacement rate on aging infrastructure, it will be required to request even larger and more frequent base rate increases. The Company requests the WWISC to plan for and recover capital investments on a timely basis. Aqua Virginia asserts that the WWISC would ensure that the Commission continues to exercise the same or a greater level of review of such investments and their incorporation into rates, but through a streamlined and focused process, leading to smaller and more gradual increases in rates. The Company asks that the Commission approve the proposed WWISC to be effective February 1, 2019, following the close of the rate year used in this Application. Aqua Virginia asserts that no investments that are incorporated into the Company’s proposed base rate increase in this proceeding would be included in the proposed WWISC.

Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. While the total revenue that may be approved by the Commission is limited to the amount produced by the Company’s proposed rates, TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may approve revenues and adopt rates, fees, charges, tariff revisions, and terms and conditions of service that differ from those appearing in the Application and supporting documents and may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents.

The Commission has suspended Aqua Virginia’s proposed rates, charges, and terms and conditions of service, pursuant to § 56-238 of the Code. The Company may, but is not obligated to, implement proposed rates, charges, and terms and conditions for service rendered on and after February 10, 2018, on an interim basis, subject to refund with interest.

The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled a public hearing to commence at 10 a.m. on April 24, 2018, in the Commission’s Second Floor Courtroom, Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, for the purpose of receiving comments from members of the public and evidence related to the Application.
