SOUTHAMPTON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Regular Session i June 22, 2015
15. MISCELLANEOUS A. REQUEST FOR COUNTY TREE ORNAMENT
Attached herewith please find correspondence from VACo requesting your consideration in commissioning a local artisan to make a handcrafted Christmas ornament for the tree in the Executive Mansion. Governor and Mrs. McAuliffe are seeking handmade ornaments from each of the 95 counties, 38 cities and 191 towns to decorate the large tree in the mansion's ballroom. The theme of the ornament is totally up to the locality; however, they suggest a depiction of some unique feature that is specific to it, such as a monument, an historic home, a person, an event, or natural feature (mountain, river). I’m open to your suggestions, but thought it may be appropriate to contact Leigh Anne Chambers at Rawls Museum Arts to see if she might recommend a local artisan. Conversely, you could open it up to local competition or refer it to the Art Classes at Southampton High School/Southampton Academy.
B. REQUEST FOR PROCLAMATION - CHEROENHAKA “NOTTOWAY” INDIAN TRIBE
Attached herewith please find correspondence from Chief Walt “Red Hawk” Brown seeking your consideration in preparing and presenting an official Proclamation from the Board in recognition of their upcoming Pow Wow on July 25. A draft of the Proclamation is attached.

"ETHNO-mSTORICAL / CURRENT SNAP SHOT OF THE CHEROENHAKA (NOTTOWAy) INDIAN NATION
Compiled by: Chie/Walt "Red Hawk" Brown, BS, MS, (Tribal Historian) Updated May 30. 2015
• The Hand Site Excavation (44SN22) - in Southampton County carbon dates the ancestors of the Cberoenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe in Southampton County, Virginia to around 1580. It is believed this site existed in 700 AD. NOTE: On November 2, 2009, a State Historical Marker commemorating the Hand Site was placed on the comer of General Thomas Hwy and Hansom Road in Southampton County. The marker notes that the site was "long claimed" by the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe.
• The Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe made fust ethno-historic contact with the English in 1607-1608 in what is now Nottoway County, Virginia. The English were looking for information germane to Roanoke Island ... the "Lost Colony."
• In 1607 the tribe was called Man-goak or Men-gwe by the Powhatan Confederation's "Algonquian Speakers" and further listed in the upper left hand quadrant on John Smith's 1607 map of Virginia by the same name in what is now Nottoway County.
• The Colonials gave names to other Indian Tribes based on what the Indians they had first contact with called other tribes; such as, the Algonquian Speakers calling the Cheroenhaka, NA-DA-W A or Nottoway as perceived by the Colonials.
• In the Seventeen Century, Virginia Indians (Natives) were divided into three language groups: Algonquian Speakers, Siouan Speakers and Iroquoian Speakers.
• In the Seventeen Century, the Iroquoian Speaking Tribes occupied lands east of the Fall Line on the inner Costal Plains of Southeastern Virginia. These tribes were the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway), the Meherrin and the Tuscarora.
• In 1650 per the diary entries of James Edward Bland, the Nottoway Indians were called by the Algonquian Speakers as NA-DA-WA (meaning snake, enemy in their language) which the Colonials reverted to Nottoway.
• August 1650 Bland encountered two Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Villages: The first town located in what is now Sussex County near Rowantee Branch ( Creek was "Chounteroute Town." At that time Chounteroute (Cho-un-te-roun-te) was king (Chief of the Nottoways. The second town, Tonnatorah, was located on the south side of the Nottoway River where the current Sussex - Greenville County line meets the River.
• The true name of the "Nottoway" is Cheroenhaka (Che-ro-en-ha-ka), meaning "People at the Fork of the Stream." The tribe's lodging area was where the Nottoway River fork with The Backwater River to form the Chowan River - thus "People at the Fork of the
6
Steam." The name Cheroenhaka is noted in the papers of Lewis Binford and in the book by Albert Gallatin.
• The War Department Papers of 1796 refer to the Nottoway as Cheroenhaka. The Honorable James Tresevant (Trezevant) in 1831 states that the true name of the Nottoway is Cheroenhaka.
• The Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe signed three treaties: The Treaty of 1646; 1677 and a STAND ALONE Treaty of February 27th, 1713. On February 27, 1713 Colonial Provisional L T Gov. Alexander Spotswood signed a Stand Alone Treaty with the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe's Chief "Ouracoorass Teerheer", AKA William Edmund (sometimes spelled Edmond), as called by the Colonials. Said Treaty has a "Successor Clause." Our tribal government (Council) contends that the Successor Clause meant that the recognized relationship the tribe had with the Colonials from 1713 to 1775 continued with the Commonwealth of Virginia beginning in 1776 and the Federal Government in 1781 to the present time.
• Tribal Warriors of the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe joined forces with Bacon in what became known as the infamous Nathaniel Bacon's Rebellion of May 1776 resulting in the downfall of the Occaneechee Indians at Occaneechee Island / on the Roanoke River. Bacon's Rebellion was a catalyst to the Woodland Plantation Treaty of 1677.
• In the mid 1680s, the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe, due to encroachment by the Colonials and to avoid war with other tribes, move from the Nottoway Town of Ta-mahit-ton / Tonnatorah in Sussex County to the mouth of the Assamoosick Swamp in what is now Surry County and again in the mid 1690s moved further down the Assamoosick toward present day Courtland and Sebrell in what was then Isle of Wight County -currently Southampton County Virginia
• In 1703, as noted in a sworn statement before the Courts in Prince George County, James Threatte spoke of the three villages of the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian TribeCattashowrock, Tonnatorah and Rowantee.
• In 1705 the House of Burgess granted two tracks of "Reservation Land" to the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe - the Circle Track (18,000 acres) and Square Track (23,000 acres) totaling some 41,000 acres of Reservation Land. The two tracks of land fell within the confines of what was then Isle of Wight County - now Southampton and Sussex Counties. Note: Southampton County was annexed from Isle of Wight County in 1749.
• In 1711 Colonial Lieutenant Governor Alexander Spotswood met with the Chief and Chief Men of the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Tribe offering "Tribute" forgiveness, reference in the Treaty of 1677 (20 Beaver Pelts and 3 Peace Arrows), if the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Chief Men would send their sons to the "Brafferton," a school for Indians at the College of William and Mary.
• Even though the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) were fearful their sons would be sold into slavery, ethno-historic records document that Spotswood reported on November 17, 1711
2 7
that two of the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Chief Men ' s sons were attending the "Brafferton."
• Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indians "Surnames" continue to appear on the enrollment roster of the "Brafferton" throughout the I 750s and 1760s.
• March 1713 the Colonial Council at Williamsburg, VA ordered that the Meherrin Indians be incorporated with the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indians and that the Nansemond Indians be incorporated with the Saponies. Purpose was to remove them to a place where they would be less liable to have differences with the English and for the convening of instructing their children in Christianity by missionaries at the two settlements.
• August 10, 1715, the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) King and 8 Great Men (Nottoway Chief Men) were invited to the Capital in Williamsburg, VA and put in irons and chains for three days until they consented to send 12 of their children to attend school at Fort Christiana in Brunswick County. On August 13, 1715 the chains were removed and they were ordered release.
• December 10, 1719 a list of names of 8 Nottoway and 12 Meherrin children were given to the Colonial Council in Williamsburg, Virginia to attend school at Fort Christiana
• November 30, 1720, the Colonial Council, in Williamsburg, V A., ordered that a collection of all transaction with Tributary Indians or Foreign Indians be made and that the clerk of the council make a collection of all negotiations with the Indians from first settlement of the Colony.

Byrd also noted in bis diary of 1728 tbat the Cberoenbaka (Nottoway) was tbe only tribe of Indians of any consequence still remaining witbin tbe limits of Virginia.
• August 7th, 1735, the Indian Interpreters, Henry Briggs and Thomas Wynn, for the
Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indians were dismissed by an Act by the Commonwealth and on the same day the "first" of many land transfer deeds for the "Circle Tract of Land" transpired between the Colonials and the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Chiefs Men and would continue up until November 1953, until both Circle and Square Track of Lands (41 ,000 Acres of Reservation Lands), were in the hands of the Europeans.
• December 19, 1756, George Washington submits letter to The Honorable Robert Dinwiddie expressing an interest among the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indians in engaging some assistance from them.

Virginia Association of Counties Lodging Guidelines
VACo hosts its annual conference at The Homestead Hotel in November. In the past, some localities have not been able to secure lodging in the conference hotel. In an effort to accommodate all interested organizations, the VACo Board of Directors has approved a system whereby every county has an opportunity to reserve some sleeping rooms for its delegation in the headquarters hotel of the VACo Annual Conference.With the expressed assistance from the hotel reservations office, the VACo Board of Directors has adopted the following guidelines:
1. Lodging request forms will be e-mailed/faxed from VACo’s office to every VACo Board member, county administrator and confirmed exhibitor in mid-June.
2. Each member of the board of directors of the association has an opportunity to reserve a room in the hotel. The hotel will have a listing of the VACo Board of Directors so as to accommodate these individuals.
3. Each county will have the opportunity to reserve three (3) rooms for its elected officials and/or staff members, EXCLUDING any supervisor that is on the VACo Board of Directors. For counties that need more than 3 rooms, the county should determine which 3 individuals are to receive the initial room reservations and the others will be placed on a "WAIT LIST". If the county makes no determination of assignment, the hotel will automatically pick three forms, and assign the balance to the "WAIT LIST".
4. Each confirmed exhibitor will have the opportunity to reserve one (1) room. Additional reservation requests will be placed on the "WAIT LIST". The Reservations office will have a listing of the exhibiting firms. But exhibitors should mark their form in bold letters: VACo EXHIBITOR.
5. This reservation system will be maintained for a period of two weeks from the time the form is released to the county and exhibitor offices. At the end of the two-week period, any unreserved rooms will be offered to those individuals on the "WAITLIST". At this time, the hotel will be completely booked up.
This plan also means that county offices/administrators and exhibitors need to consider alternative lodging options' such as doubling up in The Homestead where feasible and/or using nearby bed & breakfast inns and motels in Bath and Alleghany Counties to confirm sleeping rooms for additional representatives.
Anyone on the "WAIT LIST" will continue to be served throughout the summer and fall months as cancellations are made at the headquarters hotel.

Notify th is office of the date and time that the well wi ll be grouted. Use cement mortar gro ut with a max imum 6% bentonite, in accordance with Waterworks Regulations. To prevent co llapse of the we ll casing cement with a low heat of hydration should be utilize . Additionally the well may be washed down during curino to prevent collapse.
A yield and drawdown test must be run for at least 48 hours. We recommended the pumping rate be controlled th roughout the test to maximize the production from the well and to produce a stab ilized pump water level for at least the last six hours of the yield test. Immed iately fol lowi ng the yie ld and drawdown test the water level recovery in the well should be recorded for no less than 6 hours or until the wel l returns to its static water level, whichever occurs first. If water wi ll di scharge into streams during pumping tests, please contact the Department of Env ironmental Quality Virginia Beach Office to determine if a disc harge perm it is requi red.
If the proposed wel l is located within 500 feet of an existing well(s), both wells will be used, simul taneous pump test in g of both should be conducted. At a minimum, the adjacent we ll(s) must be mon itored during the test if they cannot be tested simultaneously. This will assure better information with which to determine the safe yield of both sources.
This waterworks is located in a Grou ndwater Management Area as declared by the State Water Control Board. Contact the Department of Env ironmental Quality (DEQ) Virginia Beach Office for further informat ion on the Groundwater Withdrawa l Permit requ irements and procedures. It is strongly recommended that you do this prior to drilling and testing the wel l, since DEQ's requ irements may be more restrictive. For more information, please visit DEQ's website http: //www.deq.virginia.gov/owpermitting/.
A series of twenty bacteriological samples must be co llected from the wel l discharge and submitted to a certified laboratory (DCLS or private laboratory) in order to determine the bacteriological quali ty of the raw groundwater. One bacteriological sample must be collected every 30 minutes during the last half of the pump test. These samples must be ana lyzed by the total col iform and E. coli Most Probab le Number (M PN) test method.
Water samples must be co llected to analyze for cyanide, nitrite, nitrates, inorganic chemicals, metals, radiological , and volatile organic chemicals. The chemical samples should be co llected near the end of the pump test, prior to the recovery period.

Is drought heading for Hampton Roads? Posted 10:47 am, June 9, 2015 www.wtkr.com
Norfolk, Va. –The latest update from the U.S. Drought Monitor shows western portions of Isle of Wight County and Suffolk, as well as all of Southampton County and Franklin, under the “abnormally dry” category. The amount of rain we see this summer will determine whether or not this will develop into a drought.
This may sound like odd news after the heavy rains last week, but the area has not seen much rain besides those storms.
Areas in California have been seeing severe drought for years on end, but the East Coast has been able to avoid going dry.
There are a couple of chances for storms this week, and any heavy rain event such as a line of storms or a tropical system would erase our rainfall deficit. Over the next couple weeks it’ll become more clear whether this dry spell was a fluke, or a sign of a serious drought.
