Portion of Poquoson's Big Woods to be cleared in hopes of attracting a commercial developer
New commercial life could sprout for Poquoson's Big Woods if plans by the Industrial Development Authority are successful.At issue is an undeveloped parcel of nearly nine acres in a wooded area across from Poquoson City Hall on Victory Boulevard. The property was pieced together beginning in 2000 with the IDA's purchase of several smaller lots. The authority's chairman has said it represents a $1 million investment. According to an IDA document, three development groups and a lending institution have shown interest in the location since 2001, but so far no deal has been developed. At a recent work session with the Poquoson City Council, IDA members discussed plans to clear cut seven acres of the tract that are closest to Victory Boulevard, to drain standing water, and to spread grass seed on the property at a projected cost of $80,000 to $100,000. That's all in the hopes of making the land more palatable to a developer — maybe one looking to build a shopping center or offices that would generate much needed tax revenue for the city

BRD wrestling's plans criticized
Forget everything you know about Bay Rivers District postseason wrestling. Beginning with today's district meet at Tabb, Region I is rolling out a number of changes to the way it does playoffs.To wit: •The three Region I districts (Bay Rivers, Battlefield, Southside) are hosting district meets for the first time. Previously, the region hosted two sectional qualifiers, with half of the Bay Rivers teams going to each. Last year's sectional qualifiers were at Lafayette and King George. •Twelve wrestlers will compete in each weight class at next Saturday's regional meet at New Kent — the top six from the Bay Rivers, top four from the Battlefield and top two from the Southside. •The top four seeds (the three district champions and a fourth seed to be voted on by coaches) get a bye in the first round. The rest? They have to wrestle a single-elimination first round; if they lose, they're out. Money and a desire to more fairly distribute the regional qualifying spots were the big reasons why the region voted to make the changes, Tabb athletic director Susan Wiker said. "I'm not in disagreement of doing a district tournament," Poquoson coach Mike Casey said. "But I don't know of a single tournament where if you lose one, you're out. We're selling our kids short. They're not getting their opportunity."
