MANAGER'S
COMMENTS
The County's Public Library has been selected as
the 2009 recipient of the Virginia Library Association's (VLA's) George Mason
Award, VLA's highest honor, for its distinguished advocacy of libraries and in
specific recognition of its 2008 All
Henrico Reads event featuring author Julia Alvarez and held in partnership
with Henrico County Public Schools. Over 1,000 members of the community attended this event, which helped educate the Henrico community about the immigration experiences of local Hispanic families
and served as a catalyst for communicating to these families that Henrico's
public libraries and schools are eager to help them assimilate into the
American way of life. The George Mason Award is presented when merited to a library or individual that has contributed to the promotion and development of improved public understanding of library
and information services. The award was accepted on October 30, 2009 during VLA's Annual Conference. Mr. Hazelett congratulated the following staff members from the Public Library: Sallie Morris, Collection Development Librarian and former Young Adult and Adult Services Coordinator; Christine Campbell, Assistant Director; and Jerry McKenna, Director.
Beth Tetrault, a Program Manager
for Henrico Area Mental Health and Retardation Services and the County's local
government representative on the Chickahominy Disability Services Board, has
won the Corbett Reedy Award for Excellence from the Virginia Rehabilitation
Association (VRA). VRA is a chapter of
the National Rehabilitation Association, the nation's oldest and largest
advocacy organization for persons with disabilities. Created in 1985 to honor former VRA service
provider Corbett Reedy, the award is presented to a
Virginia resident who has creatively pursued
excellence in the field of rehabilitation and in serving persons with
disabilities. Mr. Hazelett congratulated
Ms. Tetrault for her efforts.
Mr. Hazelett recognized the County government
Christmas Mother Program Chair, Lisa H. Orlosky of the Department of
Information Technology, and her Co-Chair, Juliana L. Haalboom of the Division
of Recreation and Parks. With the
assistance of Ms. Haalboom, Mrs. Orlosky presented a ceremonial check in the
amount of $6,000 to the 2009 Henrico Christmas Mother, Robin D. Smith. Mrs. Smith announced that the Henrico
Christmas Mother program has received a record number of applications for
assistance (2,100) and is serving a record number of families (2,000) and
individuals (6,100), including 3,500 children and 700 senior citizens or
disabled adults. About 40 percent of
this year's applicants are requesting help for the first time. Mrs. Smith noted that the warehouse offered
by the County for the use of program volunteers is quickly filling up with
donated toys, books, clothing, bicycles, and food. She thanked the Henrico community and County
employees for generosity and expressed gratitude to Ms. Haalboom and Mrs.
Oslosky for their leadership. Mr.
Hazelett voiced pride in the County's participation in the Christmas Mother
program and thanked Mrs. Smith for her efforts.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS' COMMENTS
Mr. Glover requested
an ordinance that would allow an American flag to be flown on a pole in any
neighborhood in the County. He expressed
concerns that the County is being looked at nationally as the culprit in a local
private property rights issue between an elderly Medal of Honor recipient and a
neighborhood association. Mr. Kaechele
commented that this situation is not well understood by the media and suggested
that staff review the County's legal authority to adopt the ordinance Mr.
Glover suggested.
Mr. Kaechele announced
that the Board enjoyed a nice Christmas meal in the County's cafeteria with the
staff and Christmas Mother before the meeting. He noted that it has been a difficult and challenging year for the
County but there is still much for which to be thankful. Mr. Kaechele expressed thanks to everyone who
was participating in this meeting and wished them and their families a Merry
Christmas and a happy holiday season.
