WELCOM E S
ituated in the middle of the Eastern seaboard where the James, Nansemond and Elizabeth rivers pour into the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay, the Hampton Roads region is surrounded by waterways. Home to more than 1.7 million people, the region includes the seven primary independent cities of Chesapeake, Hampton, Newport News, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach, along with surrounding smaller cities and counties. It is the 33rd largest Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) in the United States, and the eighth largest metro area in the Southeast United States. Hampton Roads is the birthplace of Colonial America. It is home to Jamestown, the first permanent En-
glish settlement, and to Colonial Williamsburg. The armed forces have played a pivotal role in Hampton Roads – a nautical term meaning protected anchorage or safe harbor – since the English set foot here in 1607. The region is the epicenter of military activity on the East Coast, hosting major Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy and Coast Guard facilities, including Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Coast Guard Station Portsmouth and numerous Navy bases – including Naval Station Norfolk, Naval Air Station Oceana and Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek-Fort Story. The region offers a wide range of services to active duty, retired and former military members and their families. PAGE 4

VIRGINIA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Virginia is home to some of the nation’s largest and most important military installations, so it is not surprising that the commonwealth’s schools educate more military children than almost any other state. In nearly every community in Virginia, there are children with parents or guardians on active duty with the armed forces. As of September 2015, the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) estimates that there are 71,655 school age military-associated children of active duty members in Virginia. Frequent moves, family separations through deployments, and reintegration following deployments can make school, home and community life challenging for military children. Yet, even in such circumstances, these students continually demonstrate resilience and perseverance. Their contributions to our schools and communities also include unique and valuable perspectives on learning, friendship, and growing up. Virginia is a proud member of the Interstate Compact on Educational Opportunity for MiliPAGE 10 |

Children of active duty members of the uniformed services, National Guard and Reserve on active duty orders, commissioned officers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Unites States Public Health Service (USPHS), and members or veterans who are medically discharged or retired for one year are eligible for assistance under the Compact.

INTERSTATE COMPACT ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY FOR MILITARY CHILDREN
Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps school liaison officers connect military families with educational opportunities and critical information about state and local school laws, policies and standards. School liaison officers work in partnership with local school divisions and the leaders of military commands and installations to enhance the public-school experiences of military children.

where the James River meets the Chesapeake Bay on the Virginia Peninsula. It is approximately 23 miles long, encompassing 69 square miles, with an estimated population of 181,825 people, according to the U.S. Census bureau. The city is steeped in history, but no one knows for sure how Newport News got its name. It is most likely the namesake of Captain Christopher Newport, commander of the flagship of the English fleet that landed on Jamestown Island in 1607. He made several voyages in the early days of the Jamestown Colony, bringing “good news” of supplies and settlers. Playing a major role in the Civil War, numerous earthen fortifications and attractions can be experienced in Newport News. In addition, the famous “Battle of the | SPRING/SUMMER 2018
shores of Newport News in 1862. Since the turn of the 19th century, Newport News has been known as the provider of the nation’s finest, technologically advanced military ships. In more recent years, Newport News has also become a center for international commerce, research and technology. The economy is strengthened by a strong military presence, and it is home of the U.S. Army Transportation Center at Fort Eustis. The city boasts more than 20 public parks, as well as public boat ramps and recreation facilities. Newport News Park, one of the largest municipal parks in the country, has 8,000 acres along with two 18-hole golf courses. — www.nnva.gov and www.newport-news.org

WILLIA MSBU RG WILLIAMSBURG was the
first city in Virginia and capital of the largest and wealthiest of the American colonies. Yet, by twists of fortune, Williamsburg remains to this day a small town, but one with special appeal. Williamsburg can trace the evolution of its government to a time when it stood unique in Virginia as the lone city in a commonwealth divided into counties. Its importance in Colonial America and establishment of the indepen-
dent United States has led to the recreation of historical sections of the city as Colonial Williamsburg, now the world’s largest living-history museum and a major tourist attraction. Williamsburg offers many other attractions, including Busch Gardens amusement park; Water Country USA, the state’s largest water park; The College of William and Mary, America’s second-oldest college; biking trails; parks; zip-line adventures; world-class golf and more. Nearby are Jamestown and Yorktown, which are connected to Williamsburg by the Colonial Parkway, and are together know as the Historic Triangle. – www.williamsburgva.gov and other sources PAGE 15 |

cated on the Virginia Peninsula between the James and York Rivers. The 108-square-mile county is 27 miles long, 6 miles wide at its broadest point. It includes more than 200 miles of coastline along the York River and other creeks and estuaries. During its 350-year history, the County of York has figured prominently in both the political and economic history of the Virginia Peninsula, the Commonwealth and the United States. The port of Yorktown, which
remains the seat of government, was the site of the final battle of the American Revolution, where on Oct. 19, 1781, Lord Cornwallis surrendered his British Army to the combined American-French forces under Washington and Rochambeau. Yorktown also figured prominently in the Civil War, serving as a major port to supply both northern and southern towns, depending on which side held Yorktown at the time. After World War II, numerous small precision machine, metal fabrication and technical research companies PAGE 16 |

grew in York County. The influence of the early waterman remains active, as seafood processing, ship building and ship repair prosper. Today, Yorktown is part of an important national resource known as the “Historic Triangle,”of Yorktown, Jamestown and Williamsburg. The County of York successfully blends contemporary living with the appreciation and preservation of a rich community heritage. – yorkcounty.gov

TR A N SP O RTATI O N EVEN THOUGH our area has the word “Roads” in its name, that doesn’t mean that it’s going to be easy to get around, unfortunately. Take the number of vehicles on the roadways, add one of the busiest ports on the East Coast, plus all of the area’s bridges and bridge-tunnels, hundreds of thousands of tourists, (especially during the summer) and you can get plenty of traffic tie-ups and slow-downs. Luckily, the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) offers multiple ways to find out about the traffic conditions, so that you can plan to allow extra time or take an alternate route. VDOT informs motorists of possible delays and alternate routes with overhead message boards on the interstate highways, continuous radio broadcasts at 1680 AM, and the toll-free 511 phone system. Through the website, e-mail and mobile app 511Virginia.org, you can find: • Accident and incident alerts • Live traffic cameras • Bridge and tunnel reports • Road construction • Road conditions • A customized “511 Control Room” lets users set up a personal travel information resource. IN CASE OF ACCIDENT OR INCIDENT If you’re in an accident without injuries or your vehicle breaks down, the law requires you to move your car to the road’s shoulder, out of the flow of traffic. On a bridge or in a tunnel, stay with
your vehicle and wait for help. An incident team will be dispatched quickly, as the tunnels and most bridges are monitored. VDOT provides roadside assistance to stranded motorists at no charge. To call state police from your cell phone, dial # 77.
HAMPTON ROADS TUNNELS AND BRIDGES
VDOT maintains six major bridges and tunnels in Hampton Roads. It’s important to know how to drive through the tunnels and bridges, including tolls; length, height, width and weight restrictions; requirements for hazardous materials that apply to motor homes with propane tanks; and the schedules for when the drawbridges will close to vehicles to allow water traffic to pass through. The bridges and tunnels that charge a toll do not accept cash, and there are no toll plazas. Instead, you will need to have E-ZPass to pay electronically or you will be mailed an invoice for a higher toll payment.
