Grant funding sought for Tazewell County flood project
tazewell, va. — The Tazewell County Board of Supervisors are seeking public input on a state grant application for a planned flood control project. If the state funding is approved, the project would allow the county to take steps now to prepare for future flooding and other disasters. The board has set a public hearing for April 29 at the Cedar Bluff Town Hall to receive input on a Community Development Block Grant application for the project, Tazewell County Administrator Eric Young said. Young said there is $5 million available statewide in Community Development Block Grant funding, but in order to qualify for a potential grant award, a public hearing must be held first by the county. The project envisioned for Tazewell County is comprehensive, and would involve the Richlands, Doran, Raven, Bandy and Cedar Bluff areas, according to a legal advertisement in the Daily Telegraph. The project involves a monitoring of water levels along the Bluestone and Clinch Rivers and the purchase and installation of generators for water pumps and stations, which would help to power community shelters and water pump stations in the event of another disaster or outage. Tazewell County has experienced several floods in recent years, including the Feb. 15 storm and the Memorial Day 2023 flood. But when the remnants of Hurricane Helene slammed into the county last September, thousands were left without power for more than a week. Young said the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development recently announced a one-time state-wide urgent need flood relief grant program. 'There is $5 million available statewide,' Young said of the grant funding. 'The application process requires a hearing. We are applying for generators to help power community shelters and water pump stations.' Young said power outages across the county were widespread after Helene last fall. 'Our strategy of deploying mobile generators to those pump stations had problems,' Young said. 'First everywhere was without power. So we did not have enough generators. Second we could not access the pump station sites due to trees in the roads. This grant would assure that we had new generators at each pump station.' Having generators installed at pump stations will ensure that citizens won't run out of drinking water in the event of another major storm or disaster, Young said. The project also seeks to add telemetry beacons. 'The beacons are cellular based,' Young said. 'They would report water levels in tributaries of the Bluestone and Clinch. Hydrological modeling and AI would then tell us how much time we had before the river left its banks down stream. This would be critical in determining where and when to deploy rescue crews.' Another part of the project involves rental assistance for those displaced by the February floods. 'They were primarily in the western end of the county,' Young said of individuals displaced by the Feb. 15 flood. 'That is why we decided to have the hearing in Cedar Bluff. But anyone who was displaced would be eligible.' Young said the board is hopeful that it will be approved for funding. 'There is only $5 million available statewide, so we are not sure how much funding we will get from this round,' Young said. 'Last week the governor announced a separate round of flood funding this summer of $50 million. We will apply for that as well when the application period opens.' Contact Charles Owens at cowens@

Man with DUI history convicted of killing woman while driving drunk
The Brief Stephen James Taffe was sentenced to 17 years in confinement for first-degree vehicular homicide and other charges related to a fatal DUI incident during Memorial Day 2023 weekend. Taffe struck and killed Angelina Fuller while driving with a blood alcohol level of 0.284, over three times the legal limit, despite having an ignition interlock device due to a prior DUI conviction. Evidence presented at the sentencing showed Taffe tampered with the interlock device. The court heard emotional testimonies from Ms. Fuller's friends and family about the impact of her death, leading to the maximum sentence allowed by law. The case was prosecuted by Assistant District Attorney Madison Caito and involved multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Georgia State Patrol and the Newton County Sheriff's Office. COVINGTON, Ga. - A man with a history of driving while intoxicated and a device built into his car meant to prevent him from doing it again has been convicted of killing a woman on the road. What we know Stephen James Taffe pleaded guilty to first-degree vehicular homicide, DUI, driving while license suspended, following too close and open container last month for an incident that took place Memorial Day 2023 weekend. A witness called 911, reporting a man driving "extremely erratically." Taffe hit Angelina Fuller's car from behind, killing her. She was 34-years-old and left behind one daughter, according to her obituary. When Taffe was tested, his blood alcohol level was 0.284, three times the legal limit. During the investigation that ensued, it was also discovered that Taffe's car had an ignition interlock device installed inside. The device requires drivers to give a breath sample to test for alcohol before the car starts. It was put in his car after a prior DUI conviction. Dig deeper Investigators determined Taffe's interlock device had been tampered with, allowing him to drive while under the influence. What's next Taffe was sentenced to 17 years in confinement, the maximum sentence for his offenses. "When someone drives under the influence, it turns their car into a weapon that can kill. Any loss of life due to a DUI driver is unacceptable and tragic, but this case is especially egregious," said District Attorney Randy McGinley. "Nothing will undo the loss Ms. Fuller's family suffered. But I hope this sentence can send a message to every driver out there that driving under the influence is unacceptable." The Source
