New Media acquires Progress-Index & Colonial Voice Newspapers will be managed by GateHouse Media FROM STAFF REPORTS

NEW YORK — The Progress-Index and The Colonial Voice have been acquired by New Media Investment Group, one of the largest owners of newspapers in the country. New Media also announced it purchased five daily, nine weekly newspapers and four shoppers from the American Consolidated Media Southwest Group. Together, the two acquisitions were purchased for $15.3 million. New Media is the owner of GateHouse Media, LLC, one of the largest publishers of locally-based print and online media in the United States. The newspapers will be managed by GateHouse Media. “We at Times-Shamrock are both sad to see our friends and coworkers at The Progress-Index go, but we’re also happy to see them join an exciting and innovative company like GateHouse,” said George V. Lynett Jr., a CEO of Times-Shamrock Communications, the parent company of The Progress-Index. “Since we purchased the PI in 1997, it has been an important part of Times-Shamrock and has continued to be indispensable to the readers and advertisers it serves. We thank our employees for 17 great years and we wish GateHouse well in all of their future endeavors.” “The Progress-Index is thrilled to join GateHouse Media, which has a strong reputation for community journalism,” said Publisher Cindy Morgan. “Together, I am certain that we will continue our history of providing the best local content and advertising to our readers.” The Progress-Index traces its origins to July 4, 1865. The newspaper moved into its current Franklin Street location in 1921 and in 1923 two newspapers were merged into what became The Progress-Index. The Progress-Index was purchased in January 1997 by the Times-Shamrock Group of Scranton, Pa., a family business owned by the Lynetts and Haggertys. The Progress-Index entered the digital age in 2002 by launching its website, progressindex.com and converted to a sevenday a week morning newspaper in October 2011.

Sparks will fly in Colonial Heights and surrounding localities BY KATHERINE JOHNSON STAFF WRITER

efore fireworks light up the evening sky in Colonial Heights, the city will begin preparing for the annual show very early in the morning. Roslyn Landing Park will be closing at sunrise Friday as preparations are made to carry out the big display. Until the park reopens on Saturday, no people or vehicles will be allowed in that area. Each year the Colonial Heights fireworks show — a tradition that’s existed for more than 40 years — draws spectators, not only Colonial Heights residents, but also those from surrounding cities and counties. Matt Spruill, recreation superintendent with the city’s Department of Recreation and Parks, said all guests are welcome. Spruill said the city’s fireworks show has existed since the 1960s. It’s a “traditional thing”, which is why the city continues to host it each year. He explained that the show used to be held at the middle school with a carnival on the holiday, but the celebration had to be moved from that location because of housing. In the past, the show has also been held at the high

Tucker said she always looked forward to the festivities when the show was held there. She said the show used to be a “great time back in the day,” but it “has never been the same since the city took it away from there and started doing it in other locations.” Kelly Basile Hays suggested combining the city’s funds with another locality, such as Dinwiddie, to have the show “in a safer place with a big festival. “Sitting in a parking lot or on the side of the road with children is an accident waiting PROGRESS-INDEX PHOTO/FILE to happen,” Hays said.

this is what she chose for a Gold Award.”

Q A

What is the organiation’s mission?

“[Packing] shoe boxes [with gifts for needy children] and sending them all around the world.”

How much of your time do you devote to working with the volunteers, Shoe Box Angels?

“It varies, normally during the summer we average about four or five hours a

week with volunteers. We’re always working on preparation of shoe boxes [and] we’re always looking for ... school supplies.”

Where do you meet to pack the boxes?

“It’s at 542 Southpark Boulevard. It’s

Q A

Why do you continue to work so hard for the organization?

“I’ve delivered shoe boxes. I went to the Dominican Republic last

year and I saw firsthand what is lacking in those children’s lives. They’re in poverty, they’re worn, they can’t go to school without a pencil, they can’t go to school without paper. I saw firsthand the basic needs that you and I and our children take advantage of. I wanted to be able to supply some hope and some encouragement in each shoe box ... I saw the pastors in these little villages ... their main goal and what we wanted to do was share the gospel with [the children] … So we share that with them and they open the shoe boxes and when they open them up, they’re so excited.”

 OUR OPINION

Petersburg to again host Hollywood H

ollywood is coming back to Petersburg — in force. Three years after Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln” was filmed in Petersburg, another major Hollywood movie will be filmed here. The filming of Meg Ryan’s directorial debut “Ithaca” will begin as early as this month in the Petersburg and Richmond areas. Ryan has been spotted several times in Old Towne Petersburg, including eating lunch in the restaurant Wabi Sabi. Ryan will not only be directing “Ithaca,” but will have a role in the movie alongside her 22-year-old son Jack Quaid and Sam Shepherd. The project will bring together Ryan and Tom Hanks, who is the film’s executive producer, for another collaboration. The 1990s romantic comedy duo were beloved by fans in “Sleepless in Seattle,” “Joe Versus the Volcano” and “You’ve Got Mail.” “Ithaca” is scheduled for a 2015 release, and is based on the 1943 novel “The Human Comedy,” by Pulitzer Prize-winning author William Saroyan. The actress spoke of Virginia as an ideal location to shoot the film. “The welcome we have received from Gov. [Terry] McAuliffe and the commonwealth of Virginia has been lovely,” she said. “We’re surprised by the cinemagraphic opportunities, the talent of the filmmaking community and the variety of resources at our disposal. We couldn’t be more delighted to be here.” “We couldn’t be happier that Meg Ryan has chosen Virginia as the location for her directorial — Gov. Terry McAuliffe debut,” Gov. McAuliffe said in a statement. “We are excited to have the opportunity to work with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks on this film about an important time in American history.” And then in the fall, Petersburg will be hosting film crews for the second season of the AMC spy drama “Turn.” AMC announced recently that they have picked up a second season of the series — which was entirely shot in the Petersburg and Richmond areas. The show follows the exploits of Abraham Woodhull, a farmer-turned-spy, who organized a spy ring that bolstered the Revolutionary War effort. Again, a key reason for the filming has been the cooperation of state and local officials, along with the Virginia film industry. And the state has great areas to film in, especially for productions based in the past. “Virginia has been an absolutely ideal home for ‘Turn,’” said Joel Stillerman, AMC Network’s executive vice president of Original Programming. “The abundance of great locations and support resources have surpassed our expectations,” he said. “It’s just a great place to make high quality television.” Virginia Film Office Director Andy Edmunds said a second season is a “huge win” for the state. “A television series is a gift that keeps on giving for the production industry in the commonwealth,” he said. “We are thrilled that the ongoing job and infrastructure expansion that occurred during Season 1 will continue.” In the past, Virginia has reaped the economic benefits of the film and television industry; in 2012, 3,061 jobs and $50.5 million in tax revenue were the result of the industry. The show, a spy drama set in 18th-century New York, was expected to bring $45 million of economic activity to the Richmond region. That means with two major productions filming in Petersburg this year, we will not only be seeing stars, but dollars as well. What could be better than economic development wrapped in the glamour of Hollywood?

“We are excited to have the opportunity to work with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks on this film about an important time in American history.”

YOUR OPINIONS

Gov. McAuliffe follows President Obama’s model of governing To the Editor:

Once again the subject appears on my radar; sigh. RE: The ProgressIndex “below the fold” front page article, in the June 14, 2014 edition, on the House of Delegates and the Medicaid veto by the governor. So let me encapsulate: House and Senate Democrats are screaming foul because House Speaker William Howell deems Gov. McAuliffe’s veto’s unconstitutional? I see no difference in Speaker Howell’s action than when Attorney General Mark Herring refused to support an already passed Virginia law that defines marriage in Virginia as between one man and one woman, because he, alone, deemed it “unconstitutional.” Democrats love to “dish it out” but just can’t “take it” when the same type action affects them. This is shown time, after time, after time. This is why I wouldn’t give water to a Democrat dying in the desert. To the 51 percent of Virginia voters who weren’t born in Virginia (see an earlier letter to the editor in The Progress-Index from me on same: You wanted an Obama clone as governor — well you got him. Let me offer a “Government 101” lesson to the Virginia governor, (who has never served in any elected office in his life until his election last November). The Virginia General Assembly passes laws, and the governor, and his administration, simply enforces them. Such a remedial civics lesson shouldn’t be required, but with this Virginia governor it is necessary. I can just hear President Obama advising Gov. McAuliffe in this matter several weeks ago to: just do what I do, I do what I want regardless of the law or what Congress legislates. Virginia’s legislature (at least the House of Delegates) is not like Congress, governor. Jesse L. Harrup Jr. Colonial Heights

Establishment Republicans can co-exist with the tea party To the Editor: I am an “Establishment Republican,” having been elected to local and state party offices several times. On occasions “tea party” folks have voted against me. We disagree on party nomination procedures and I favor actions that help Republicans govern more effectively that don’t always resonate with tea party friends. However, I take exception to a frequent letter writer’s recent letter to the editor in The Progress-Index. He opines “tea party” folks “like guns more than people ... hate poor people ... hate government that helps poor people”. Just because tea party members disagree with me on some issues, I have never felt they hate me, and I still consider them my friends. The tea party people I know are the ones who help in their church food pantries, volunteer in soup kitchens to help our less fortunate neighbors, etc. Many are veterans who have put their lives on the line for our country. They are hard working, pay their taxes and obey the law. Many support gun rights as provided for in our Constitution. While they may be concerned at the direction the federal government is taking, they are not rioting in the streets like the left wing protesters of the 1960s that greeted me and my fellow veterans returning from Vietnam

as “baby killers” and worse. They are not like the most recent leftists who disrupted our cities with their antiWall Street protests. They are making their protests at the ballot box, most recently defeating Eric Cantor — a great Republican who I know personally and respect — in a primary. But even in defeat, Eric was quick to say he will vote for primary winner Dave Brat and urged other voters to do the same. While the letter I site is very negative and stresses “hate,” I was pleased to see a letter to the editor in The Progress-Index from a Hopewell Republican leader urging support for Ed Gillespie, the “Republican establishment” U.S. Senate candidate who defeated his tea party backed candidate at the Republican State Convention. I join him in supporting Ed and his 5 point Economic Growth Plan that will “get our economy moving again, provide opportunities for the middle class and working poor to improve their lives through good-paying jobs, and help lift millions out of poverty.” We need Ed Gillespie in Washington to replace Mark Warner who has supported the failed policies of the present administration 97 percent of the time. Bill Flanagan Colonial Heights

Expanding economic opportunity at Va. port To the Editor: In 1904, the United States began construction on one of the biggest civil engineering undertakings in the modern world. Workers undertook a harrowing job to dredge and excavate a shortcut between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans that would significantly reduce shipping times, cutting out the journey around Cape Horn. The project was an amazing engineering feat that took a decade to complete. When it opened, the Panama Canal changed the way we view commerce around the world. It ushered in a new era of shipping, trade, and economic opportunity that stretched between continents and nations. Once again we stand on the cusp of a new era of transportation advancement. Since it opened in 1914, the Panama Canal has served as a strategic link for global maritime trade, accommodating approximately 5 percent of the world’s total cargo volume each year and serving over 140 maritime trade routes to over 80 countries. Today, the expansion of the Panama Canal presents an important opportunity for American trade and the American economy. The Panama Canal expansion will enable the canal to serve what are known as Post-Panamax ships — mas-

sive vessels known for carrying enormous amounts of cargo. The expansion is expected to boost significantly the amount of cargo moved through the canal and between hemispheres. It also represents a potential shift in global commerce as international trade flows. The expansion holds enormous economic potential for ports and localities that have the infrastructure to handle their size and cargo capacity. However, we as a nation have to be ready to accept the larger ships. The Panama Canal expansion will increase demands on transportation networks, service, and operations. The highway and rail access and on-land distribution network needs to be prepared ahead-of time. Railroads and trucking companies can only deliver goods if adequate highway, bridges, tunnels, and rail infrastructure exists to handle the larger payloads. Retailers and small businesses can only succeed if they can acquire their goods economically and in a timely manner. In Virginia, the Port of Virginia is one of the few deep-water ports able to accommodate such vessels; however, the maintenance and improvement of crane, rail, and trucking infrastructure remains critical for the port to handle the increased volume of cargo the Post-Panamax ships carry. Ships will only come to the port if the channel is deep enough and the port can receive and process their cargo timely and efficiently. Ensuring that these transportation links are not only working, but growing, will give us tremendous economic opportunity. Hard work always precedes opportunity and advancement. The Panama Canal expansion is no exception. We need to be more strategic and forwardthinking to take full advantage of economic opportunities such as this one. It is important to all involved — private industry, local officials, and small business owners — that we ensure our transportation, infrastructure, and logistics networks are prepared so they can reap the benefits of the expansion. In order to facilitate this, I joined three of my colleagues, Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., Rep. Nick Rahall, DW.Va., and Congresswoman Janice Hahn, D-Calif., to form the bipartisan Congressional Panama Canal Expansion Caucus. The goal of the caucus is to assess the impact the expansion will have on U.S. ports and inland infrastructure. The caucus will highlight steps that Congress needs to take to make sure our nation’s ports are prepared for a new era of commerce, and to ensure the United States remains a global leader in commerce and transportation. The formation of the caucus is another effort on my part to ensure we are ready for the expansion. Throughout my time in Congress, I’ve made it a priority to work with local elected officials, representatives from the Port of Virginia, and key industry stakeholders. In 2012, I hosted a 4th District roundtable working session with Sen. John Boozman, R-Ark., who is a member of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, to address the issue. The roundtable brought together experts in international shipping, trade, and transport to discuss how Virginia and the rest of the country can work together to prepare for the expansion. The new Panama Canal Expansion Caucus brings us to the next step in seizing this opportunity for economic advancement. Maintaining strong transportation links for our nation is one of the keys to a vibrant, strong economy. The extent to which we benefit from opportunities like this one depends on how prepared we are to accept them. Congressman Randy Forbes R-4th District Chesapeake, Va.

men used their car to ram a man on a scooter in Prince George County and then proceed to assault him and rob him at gunpoint. Prince George police said the victim was on his way home on his scooter when a dark-colored vehicle hit the scooter from behind on Allin Road. Police say that the suspects, one of whom had a handgun, exited the car, assaulted and robbed the victim of his wallet. On June 24, a 51-year-old man in Colonial Heights was shot as he was walking home from a convenience store. The robbery and shooting took place across the street from the city’s police department. The incident happened at approximately 2:30 a.m. at the intersections of Maple and Franklin avenues. Police said the victim was approached by two suspects, one of whom had a gun and asked the man for money and his personal property. After a physical altercation between the victim and suspects, the man was shot in the stomach. He was taken to VCU Medical Center in Richmond for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. Jackson was among four people charged in a 2011 burglary spree in Dinwiddie County.
