For your interest
You asked about supporting Tom Perriello [“Perriello looks ahead to 2010,” December 1].
How can any Virginian support a Representative who is bent on ruining our economy by voting for Cap and Trade Bill and a Health Care Bill which will include a government run single-payer health care system? Mr. Perriello is trying to bankrupt our economy.
When Perriello was attending some of the Town Meetings, he brought along some SEIU thugs. The SEIU has run TV ads supporting his disastrous voting. I do not think that Tom Perriello has the best interest of Central Virginia in his actions.

Thanks for the story about Steve Bishop and the Charlottesville Health Access program for the homeless [“UVA students aid the underserved,” UVA News, December 8]. It is heartwarming and so good to see news about someone with major talent who is making an effort to make a difference to the underserved in our community, particularly when it comes to health care.
CHA and The Haven will make a big difference for those served, and also for those serving. I am sure it will help the UVA medical students involved become better doctors and nurses. We should truly appreciate Mr. Bishop for his initiative and efforts outside of his normal busy med-school curriculum. I hope they can keep it going if he ends up doing his residency elsewhere.
Also, many thanks to the med students and student nurses who started working with PACEM and are participating, and thanks to Chiara for writing it up. I always appreciate her contributions to your paper.

CORRECTION
In Restaurantarama last week, we reported that Rivals owner Gregg Powell is selling the busines with his partner, Randy Snead. According to Powell’s real estate agent, Amy Bishop, Mr. Powell and Mr. Snead are not partners. We apologize for the confusion. Also, in using the term “place” synonymously with “business,” we may have implied that the building is for sale. It is not. Only the restaurant business is on the market.
