Kenny Hogge, Sr. Will Not Talk or Meet with Candidates Before Election
After
hearing various comments from multiple people and receiving multiple phone
calls and text messages pertaining to my and others’ opinion about the mismanagement
of the old Page and bus garage properties; I am letting everyone know, I will
not be talking with or meeting with any Gloucester County School Board or Board
of Supervisors candidates or board members until after the election. I will
accept and publish unedited written statements from any and all candidates and
board members.
I do not
believe the People’s business should be done behind closed doors.

It’s Not Just the Terrible Drinking Water That Needs Fixing in Gloucester County
Most
Gloucester residents know how bad of a job our local government has done
providing Gloucester with safe and quality public drinking water, but few
realize just how many other areas our local government has mismanaged for years
and continue to mismanage today.
One of those
areas is utilization of the old Page Middle School and bus garage properties, associated
construction and use of taxpayer dollars to fund Crony maneuvers and deceptions to vacate the properties. Kiser and the two boards back then began the mismanagement several years before they built new Page Middle School on T.C. Walker Road against the will of
a majority of the community. Most people in Gloucester know that story, so we
will focus on what is taking place right now. The following is our brief analysis
and opinion about what is going on in this area of our local infrastructure.
The current
boards, paid for a study to determine where the best place would be, out of
three school board owned properties, to build a new bus garage, county garage
and utilities department complex. The initial results deemed the old Page and
bus garage properties to be the best and most economical option; that is until school board member Charles Records and supervisors John Meyer, Phillip Bazzani
and Ashley Chriscoe got done manipulating the results of the study. Just like when Kiser and his corrupt crew were violating the community's trust, this location study was done for no other reason than to check a
box in the process of deceiving the people of Gloucester. From here on we will
refer to the current group of deceivers collectively as the Crony Four, because
they “are”, the definition of Crony Capitalists with Socialist tendencies and have steered this latest ploy against the taxpayers.
The old Page
property still has a VDOT approved entrance/exit and was so depicted in the initial
study findings. The Crony Four had that changed. They added the made up, so
called requirement of obtaining a right of way from adjacent property owner
Harry Corr and reconstructing the Route 17, T.C. Walker intersection to the mix. Part of
the so-called reconstruction entails leveling the north and southbound lanes of Route 17 in
the vicinity of the intersection. This one made up item alone drove the
estimated costs up by several million dollars, making it "appear" cost
prohibitive to build on the old Page and bus garage properties. That was the
goal, but the real picture is likely quite different than it appears. The very expensive Route
17 leveling is most likely a VDOT requirement to build a thoroughfare road for
a large business park or residential development, but it is certainly not a
requirement for the construction and uses contained in the initial study
findings. We strongly believe the old Page property is wanted by an adjacent
landowner and the Crony Four and their predecessors (the Kiser Crew) have and are doing everything possible to make sure they get it; no matter how much it costs the taxpayers in the long run.
Once the
Crony Four added enough fake requirements and costs to rule out the old Page
and bus garage properties, they proceeded with cutting the size of the recommended
complex. The first thing they did was remove a new yard and facilities for our public
utilities department; further demonstrating both boards lack of concern about
our crumbling water and sewer infrastructure, our utilities department employees who are trying to hold it all together while significantly understaffed and ultimately demonstrating
their lack of concern about the people of Gloucester.
The Crony
Four’s plan is to allow utilities to temporally use the old bus garage and its
property until it is needed for “economic development reasons”. They seem to
believe, or know, a developer will come along who is willing to pay to relocate
Utilities’ operation in return for the old Page and bus garage properties, but
if they know this, why don’t they let us know what the ultimate plan for the
properties is. We believe it is because the Crony Four are doing all of this to take care of
one or more of their friends or associates and Charles Records seems to be at
the forefront of the current effort?
Over two
years ago, we began to believe Charles Records ran for the school board for the
sole purpose of trying to remove ownership of the old Page and Bus Garage
properties from the school board. At the end of his four year term on the board,
it appears this member of the Crony Four has been successful in doing just that
and ironically, he is not seeking re-election this November.
During a
joint meeting of the school board and board of supervisors on Sept 19th,
County Administrator, Brent Fedors presented a timeline of future actions that
includes a completion date for turning the old Page and bus garage properties
over to the county. They claim their intent is to turn the old Page property
over to Gloucester’s Economic Development Authority, but no information has
been provided outlining what the GEDA intends to do with the property. This is troubling;
especially since the GEDA already has comparable properties in the Gloucester
Business Park that have gone unsold and undeveloped for years. What is so
special about the old Page property that justifies the amount of tax dollars and time
that have been waisted to obtain it from the school board? Wouldn’t you like to
know?
It is not too late to put a stop to what they are doing, but "all" of us must let them know we will not accept what they are doing. Be sure to pass this on to other people in the community.

Look for
more from us on how our local government is continuing to waste our tax dollars
and allow our infrastructure to crumble in order to satisfy the greed and
desires of a few. We will also be providing info on the Gloucester High School
master plan in the very near future. If you care about the future of our County
and Country; get involved, become informed and speak out. Demand transparency, make the ones we
elect answer the hard questions and hold them accountable for their actions.

County Administrator Responds; Is Gloucester County’s Public Drinking Water Making You Sick?
The following
is from Gloucester County’s Administrator. It sounds great, but what about keeping the public informed?
Mr. Hogge –
Treatment
Process Improvements at the Surface Water Plant have been designed, procured
and awarded to address this issue. We will be converting from
chlorination, using liquid chlorine, to chloramination using liquid chlorine
and liquid ammonia. The project is currently under construction and we
anticipate completion, and process conversion, by the end of 2017.

Is Gloucester County’s Public Drinking Water Making You Sick?
Gloucester
County, Virginia public water customers, located in two different areas of the County’s
public drinking water distribution system, received notice with their September first water bill that excessive levels of disinfection byproducts
(DBP’s) had been detected. What are DBP’s you ask; DBPs form when disinfectants
such as chlorine, chloramines, chlorine dioxide or ozone react with organic and
inorganic substances present in raw water. Sound complicated? Well it is, so we
will keep this as down to earth and simple as we can.
The DBP
identified in the notice, Trihalomethanes (THM), are not good. In fact, if
consumed over extended periods of time or in large enough quantities, THM’s can
cause numerous health issues. According to the not very informative notice Utilities sent to affected
customers; some people who consume THM’s for an extended period of time can
develop liver, kidney and central nervous system problems and may have an
increased risk of getting cancer. A clinical and epidemiological review
published by the National Institutes of Health says THM’s from chlorinated
water have been associated with spontaneous abortion, low birth weight and
birth defects. Some studies suggest exposure to chlorine vapors, including THMs,
especially while showering, bathing or working in Gloucester’s surface water
treatment plant may lead to asthma, other respiratory disorders and may harm the
lining of the respiratory tract.
For the most
part, THM’s are not noticeable to the average person and without mandatory testing
we would likely hear even less about them. There are ways you can protect
yourself from THM’s. The best and most effective method of eliminating THM’s
and many other harmful elements found in public water systems is a whole home
filtration system. These systems filter all the water that enters the building
to include showers and outside faucets. A less aggressive method of getting rid
of THM’s are individual facet/sink filters. These are great to get rid of the
junk in the water you drink and cook with, but do nothing to get rid of the
stuff in the shower. Boiling water for 5 minutes or longer will also eliminate
THM’s from your water, but be sure not to breath the steam.
The DBP notice
from Utilities asks each customer to share the information provided with all
other people who drink the affected water. I wonder if the York River Oyster
Company restaurant is notifying their customers and if Gloucester Point Baptist
Church is notifying its members, as they are both connected to the Terrapin
Cove Road waterline that tested high in THM’s. The other location where high
levels of THM’s were detected is on Clopton Drive in Gloucester County.
We cannot
speak for the customers on or near Clopton Drive, but we know with absolute
certainty that this is not the only time the waterline along Terrapin Cove Road
has been found to contain high levels of THM’s. We also know with certainty
that water containing excessive levels of THM’s was most likely consumed for
years at T.C. Walker and Achilles schoolhouses and possibly at Gloucester High
School. Wonder if that has anything to do with the increased number of school
employees being diagnosed with cancer over the last few years. It is time to
stop kicking the dirty water can down the road, but it does not look like the
elected and hired people in our local government plan do anything to repair our
neglected infrastructure anytime soon. Remember that when you vote this November.

Moon Beam Bagels, Stories From The Campfire
Tales from the Camp Fire
This is a fictional story for your reading enjoyment
This is the story of Moon Beam Bagels
Once upon a time there was a local civil servant named Dogwood that worked in a local office for the director answering phone calls and directing people to the correct office. Dogwood was very unhappy with his job and everyone knew it. Dogwood's boss had a problem that Dogwood could help with. They schemed and found a way to make Dogwood’s boss happy and Dogwood would get a fake injury and collect workers comp to be able to leave his job and open his own business “Moon Beam Bagels” where he could be his own boss and not have to answer the phone any more.
Dogwood found a vacant building in midtown and opened Moon Beam Bagels. Dogwood did not think everything through. He was able to buy a Bagel machine that could make 50 bagels an hour and work four hours in a day and try as he might he was not able to make enough bagels to pay the rent and the staff and buy supplies. Dogwood worried about this until he was offered a deal he could not refuse. We like your bagel business and we will give you money for you to claim as income to keep Moon Beam Bagels open you just have to make us silent partners and hire who we tell you to. But I can only make 50 bagels an hour for four hours a day and this cannot be increased. Not a problem just do as we instruct. So Dogwood took the money added more space in the shop making it three times larger. Hiring the extra staff not to work and kept on making bagels. The money kept on coming in and Dogwood was happy. Dogwood even tried to expand the business to a new site. If I can sell my 200 bagels faster each day I will not have to stay open but during the morning.
Did I mention Dogwood was not a good business man and had no experience in a commercial kitchen? He was posting pictures on Face Book that showed that he did not understand the importance of using the right kitchen tools and keeping everything clean. Someone shared this information with the Health Department. Dogwood’s friend when dropping off some cash told Dogwood about the inspection. Dogwood closed Moon Beam Bagels on a holiday weekend to clean the shop so it would be spic and span for the inspection on Tuesday. The inspection was done and Moon Beam Bagels passed with flying colors, with instructions to remove the pictures from the web site and to be careful what he posted in the future.
The last time the person telling the story around the camp fire was in the store the floors were dirty, the place was understaffed, the bagels? Okay at best. The argument was given that they were busy and it was hard to keep the floors clean. The response “I was the first customer of the day.” There were no replies.
I hope you enjoyed this work of fiction. If it reminds of any business in Gloucester, VA it is just a coincidence since this story is made up?
Sincerely,

The Untold History of Public Education, Part 3
Although I am not in agreement with the author of this video as he seems to be against any form of Christian based education in any form, I am not posting this video to either argue that aspect for or against. What is shown here is past, present and future plans of public education. In the future, I will be showing and it has already been partially shown, the system is rigged in a way that it can not be fixed. That is right, no matter what anyone does, the system is rigged so that it can not ever be fixed.
So throw all the money you want at public or private education, It will not get any better. There is only one plan that will work. A mass exiting of adults taking their children out of this insane system of pure indoctrination. Sending your children to be with people you do not know, to be trained in areas you have no idea about, is insane. Public schools are teaching a new religion and yes, they do call it a new religion, but not at the media level where you will be offended. That is only at the highest level that it's called a new religion and it's designed to replace all other religions. That new religion has a name and it's called humanism. Yes, that is a new religion and you are sending your children to school to become a part of this new religion. Evidence on this coming soon.
Any teachers offended by any of this, not to worry, we are still working on a sensitivity program for you. The same for our elected school board. Folk's do not send your children back into this horrible public system of deceit and corruption. Also, take the time and do your own research. We have asked the local school board to look at all of this information and we invited them to a public dialogue. So far, they refuse to respond. I would love it if all of this could be refuted and proven either wrong or somehow not correct. But their silence is proving the information we are covering scares them because it is true and shows the fraud they are part and partial to.
But lets be fair. Many of them have no clue about a lot of this. Some should. It may very well be that their eyes are now being open and they will soon learn that there is nothing they can do about it and except maintain the deception. I would like to think that many of them are seeing the real issues now and are starting to look for answers. Keep your fingers crossed and pray they are on our side.

Who Controls The Children In Education? Part 2
Here is a must watch video. It's nearly an hour long, but you need to see the entire video to see what this teacher uncovered about local, state and federal involvement in our, actually their, educational, or better put, propaganda and indoctrination system. If you think there is any real control over the educational system at any level by our local officials? Think again. This woman documented more than you would ever expect. Now the video is comparatively old, 1990's, but the situation has not gotten any better.
What we keep hearing is that more money must be thrown at the school system to improve education. This is a broken record and a full out scam. This ploy has been used now for the past 100 years and it works very well. If you listen to this teacher, sending your children to public school is a horrible idea. Think private schools are better? Wait til the end as that question is answered in the video. We viewed this video in it's entirety and we were shocked with what is revealed in here.
Teach your children at home otherwise you are going to seriously dumb them down and hurt their real potential of what your children can really become. It's by design and it's well documented. What we are going to continue to put out is all very well documented. Again, for any teacher that may find any of this offensive, we are working on a sensitivity class for you, so do not worry about any of it.
Coming up we will be showing the shocking history of indoctrination education since the early 1900's and who has been behind it all. Yes, it has always been the plan to dumb down the population. Those behind financing education did not want competition in their future. They planned well and have pretty much succeeded in those plans.
