A Cumberland County man who is the only person arrested in a shootout in Goochland County last month that killed one man and wounded two others has been freed on bond. Henrico County jail records show that Kwamane G. Davis, 21, was released Saturday, less than 24 hours after a judge set a $100,000 bond for Davis, who is charged with first-degree murder and two other felonies. Judge Timothy K. Sanner of Goochland Circuit Court said at a hearing Friday that Davis is not to associate with gang members who might have precipitated a barrage of gunshots early Sept. 12 at a Goochland home that had been the site earlier that night of a baby shower. Davis also has to reside in a single dwelling place and must submit to regular tests

for drug and alcohol use. Davis has no previous criminal record. He faces a preliminary hearing in December in the death of Dwayne Hardy, 24, whom Davis is accused of firing on twice with a shotgun, fatally wounding him in the back of the head. According to court testimony, Hardy had attacked a cousin of Davis’ seconds earlier, firing three shots from a .38 caliber handgun into Alvin Daniels’ back. Daniels survived but is paralyzed. Davis, joined by family members, turned himself in to Goochland authorities on Sept. 13. Court records show other shots also came from a passing vehicle, wounding a man in his car at the Hadensville-Fife Road home that had been the scene of a DJ dance party later the night of Sept. 11 after the baby shower. Goochland Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Nancy Oglesby said last week that the party attracted members of two rival gangs that have operated in the Goochland County area.

the entire community are invited to the celebration, scheduled from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. this Saturday at Elk Hill Farm. Development Director Elli Sparks and other staff members talked about the evolution of the school in an interview last Friday at the school. “It was a home for troubled boys. We provided a safe place for them to live, we ensured their education and we taught them how to get along with others,” said Sparks. About three or four years into the project the founders realized that public school was not always the best match and they started the Blake School on the farm. Later came the Harambee School (harambee is Swahili for “coming together”), founded in 1990 as a day school for students living at home but struggling in public school. “These were kids who were being expelled or suspended from school for behavioral or emotional problems,” explained Sparks. Expansion continued with the founding of Elk Hill Varina 10 years ago, as the school’s first program for both girls and boys. In the past 10 years Elk Hill has added three group homes, one for girls called Elk Hill Spring Garden in Fluvanna and two for boys: Elk Hill Charlottesville and Elk Hill Northside in Richmond. Up to eight young people live in each home with adult supervision, explained Sparks. Two years ago big changes came when Medicaid

regulations limited the school to 16 residential students. At the time Elk Hill had about 50 boys living at the school. “We had to change our whole business model,” said Sparks. The emphasis shifted to keeping students with family or foster families whenever possible, and Elk Hill started their Community Services with the goal of keeping kids in school and at home. Their counselors currently go into Powhatan Public Schools and also do in-home counseling. Elk Hill also works with children with autism. And any day now another alternative day school,

called Elk Hill Monticello, is scheduled to open in Charlottesville. Altogether Elk Hill serves about 250 children in all its programs and employs a staff of about more than 100 (75 full-time). Just this past summer they conducted summer camps for 88 elementaryage kids in Goochland and Varina. An integral part of Elk Hill’s program is its Education for Employment (EFE), now in its fifth year. Building trades, landscaping, masonry and culinary arts are some of the options open to students. “We try to do a lot of service projects so we get

out in the community,” said Doris Seal, Elk Hill’s EFE Coordinator. “So they get that social aspect of getting used to different people.” “We’re interested in having the community come in and see what we’re doing,” said Seal. “It’s a reunion too,” said Sparks. The hope is that anyone who has gone to school or worked at Elk Hill will come back too. The event is free, and musical entertainment will be provided by Antero.

“It’s emotional and stressful,” she explained. Divided into four “weeks,” the simulation involved 40 or so participants who had to learn how to negotiate the maze of government and private agencies that offer help to low-income citizens. The Community Poverty Simulation exercise sponsored by Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services (GFCFS) was based on a program developed in Missouri. Staff from the Henrico and Richmond Extension Offices helped facilitate the exercise, held at the Goochland Parks and Recreation Building in the gymnasium. Participants were given roles in scenarios of families facing poverty. Some were newly unemployed, some were homeless, some were receiving Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, or TANF. Other scenarios involved disabled elderly people, or grandparents raising grandchildren. All the scenarios were designed to give GFCFS staff and volunteers an idea of what it is like to walk in the shoes of the clients they assist. “It’s been particularly eye opening,” said Goochland Elementary School Principal Stacey Austin. Austin played the role of a computer programmer who was laid off after 20 years and whose unemployment insurance benefits have run out. “There’s lots of waiting,” said Austin. In a discussion after the threehour exercise, Austin and the other participants shared what they had learned. “If you didn’t know the right questions to ask you could lose services,” observed Austin. In Austin’s scenario he eventually got hired as a security guard. But that was after his wife left him, he said.

A common theme among those who played the role of people dealing with poverty was the frustration of dealing with multiple agencies. Another frequently mentioned factor was the lack of public transportation, which made it difficult to travel to agencies that could help. “It’s all-consuming,” said GFSFS Volunteer Coordinator Wanda Trexler, who played the role of a caseworker at the Department of Social Services. “You see their frustration,” said Trexler, who cited transportation problems, compounded with other difficulties such as health, age and literacy issues. “As the weeks progressed, the clients began to move faster, you began to see the urgency,” she said. “It sensitizes us to why people behave the way they do,” said GFCFS Executive Director Sally

Call it a preschool checkup to see if all systems are a-okay with your developing youngster. No appointment is necessary for the Free Child Check this Thursday at the Goochland Elementary School Annex building. From 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. preschool teachers and other professionals will offer a developmental screening for children from birth to 60 months, said Wendy Murray, Early Childhood Special Education Coordinator for Goochland County Schools. “It really just provides a snapshot of where the kids are developmentally,” said Murray. The service is a joint effort between Goochland County Public Schools and the Goochland Powhatan Community Services’ Parent-Infant Education Program. Only Goochland County residents are eligible. Workers will use a variety of methods to check speech, thinking and language skills, movement and hand skills, hearing, and social skills. The program is federally mandated as part of special education programs, explained Murray. “We’re going to sit and play games, see if they can jump and throw a ball, use blocks to see how they use their hands,” said Murray, explaining some of the ways workers will evaluate the

children. There will be three stations, one for concepts skills, a second for language skills and a third for motor skills. Depending on her availability the school nurse will also perform hearing and vision checks. The idea is to catch any developmental problems before a child enters school at age five, so that the appropriate action can be taken, said Murray. Murray, who has been working in the system since 1996, said usually 30-50 children are seen on child check

day. The service will also be offered to participants in the YMCA’s Tender Tots program and to Head Start children. After each child is evaluated, workers will go over the results with parents and, if problems are discovered, make appropriate referrals. “The focus is on early intervention if needed before starting school,” said Murray.

NEWS: What’s Going on in Goochland County

Convicted on eight charges of inadequate animal care, Pet Rescue Foundation operator Annette Thompson has asked for a new trial in Goochland Circuit Court. Thompson filed notice of appeal papers on September 29. She is scheduled to appear in circuit court October 12, when a trial date is expected to be set. Thompson said Monday she is

no longer represented by attorney Darvin Satterwhite, who represented her at the September 21 district court trial. At that proceeding she was found guilty of eight Class IV misdemeanor charges of inadequate animal care, stemming from complaints brought by four individuals who had adopted animals from her. Judge Roger L. Morton ordered her to pay $856 in penalties and court costs. Each charge carried a maximum possible fine of $250.

www.goochlandgazette.com

The district court trial was the culmination of a long series of delays, and a controversy over whether a private prosecutor could represent the complainants, a request that was ultimately denied. Goochland Commonwealth’s Attorney Claiborne Stokes said that his office would represent the Commonwealth in any new trial before the circuit court. Thompson said Monday she has not hired new counsel as of yet for the circuit court trial.

Recovering our empathy According to a 2010 poverty summit report released by Virginia’s Poverty Reduction Task Force, more than 10 percent of people in our state currently live below the poverty level. And those numbers are expected to rise. While we have been told by economists that the U.S. recession was over in June 2009, for many people the end is not yet in sight. For some of us, that might mean holding off on buying a new car or downsizing our vacation plans. But for others it means the loss of a home, healthcare, three daily meals and the hope that everything might just be ok. At last week’s Community Poverty Simulation, sponsored by Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services, about 40 people put themselves in the position of those who are at a desperate point in their lives. Some might have been given the role of a recently laid-off worker, or a disabled senior citizen, or a mother seeking medical care for her child. The common thread that winds through such scenarios is a need for service, for help that can often be hard to find. The point of the exercise was to show how hard the process can be to comprehend and to navigate, and how precarious progress can be— as GFCFS Direct Sally Graham pointed out, if you don’t have a ride to your appointment, you might lose out on the assistance you need. The poverty simulation took place the day before Goochland Powhatan Community Services’ first annual Chili Cook-Off. That event was planned to help fund services for those with mental illness or intellectual disabilities. The money that used to fund housing, training programs and other programs that foster independence has been slashed in recent local and state budgets. Goochland Powhatan Community Services helps almost 1,000 residents in the two counties, and says that demand for services has gone up due to our economy’s troubled times. Both Goochland Powhatan Community Services and Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services are striving to provide a safety net for those who might be freefalling into an abyss, and both agencies are doing so in spite of dwindling financial support and limited community awareness of a growing problem. For those who need help, or those who want to give it, The Gazette encourages you to contact Goochland Powhatan Community Services at (804) 5565400 or www.gpcsb.org and Goochland Free Clinic and Family Services at (804) 556-6260 or www.goochlandfreeclinicandfamilyservices.org - Amy Condra

ABC privatization a bad idea really want to visit, unlike Virginia’s circumstances. Visit any of our border Much has been written about privatization of ABC stores in Virginia and most of the diatribes have been pure speculation. I haven’t seen anything expressing the customer point of view so from this customer perspective I can report that privatization of Virginia ABC stores is a bad idea. As a republican I used to wonder why Virginia was in the liquor business. But then I retired and started traveling throughout the U. S. and found that buying alcohol in all states with private liquor stores is a problem. Almost all private liquor stores in other states are inconveniently located, poorly stocked and maintained. Most stores are not in the kind of places you

ABC stores. States with private liquor sales have fewer and harder to find liquor stores than in Virginia and I assure readers that WalMart and corner drug stores will not be good places to find your favorite brands. Poor advertising is another sad consequence of private liquor stores. Talk to the owners of private liquor stores in other states and you will hear stories of excessive regulation, fees, taxes, and favoritism in granting licenses. And prices are no lower anyplace else than in Virginia. A good example is Las Vegas. Those who have been to Vegas and bought some liquor both on and off the strip have seen the problem with private liquor stores in the best of

states to see some of their wonderful liquor stores and then write your letter supporting privatization. While Virginia remains too much of a nanny state, taxes are too high and we have too many state employees, at least the ABC department is reasonably well run and a good deal for taxpayers and customers.

Hornets sting Goochland in overtime thriller Orange County completes comeback to claim 57-56 3-OT win BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent

A school record 272yard rushing performance by Goochland running back David McKenna wasn’t enough to insure victory against the determined and high-powered passing game of the Orange County Hornets last week. In the Jefferson District matchup, Orange completed a second half comeback with seconds remaining in regulation to send their battle with Goochland into overtime. After three extra periods, the Hornets pulled out a 57-56 victory over the home-standing Bulldogs, opting for a twopoint conversion in the third overtime period. “I figured we’d take a shot at the win,” Hornet head coach John Kayajanian said after the game. “We couldn’t stop them and they couldn’t stop us, so I decided to go for two and try to end it.” Down 35-33, the Hornets mounted a final drive in regulation that covered the length of the field and found the visitors on the Bulldog one-yard line with six seconds remaining. Orange County lined up to run a play from the one, but a delay of game penalty moved the ball back to the six-yard line and the Hornets sent their place kicker on to tie the game at 35. “We were going for the win in regulation until we got that penalty,” Kayajanian said. Led by McKenna, who broke the 236 yards on 28 carry rushing record set by Johnathan Yates against Central-Lunenburg in 1999, Goochland worked its run oriented offense to perfection in the first half and took a 28-6 lead to the locker room. “They

were a well oiled machine the first half and we had to make a bunch of adjustments for the second half,” Kayajanian said. “We knew we couldn’t stop them but we thought if we could slow them down, we could score some points and get back in to it.” Trailing 24-6, the Hornets scored on their first possession of the second half, depending on wide receiver Amir Waller for several key third down conversions. The senior left his mark on the Goochland secondary, pulling down seven passes. He also provided a spark on the ground, rushing from the wildcat formation. “We just couldn’t keep up with him,” said Goochland head coach Joe Fowler. “We didn’t have anyone who could run and jump with him. He was unstoppable.” Still fighting a 28-12 deficit, the Hornets blocked a Goochland punt and set up shop on the Bulldogs 16-yard line. Waller gathered in a 13yard pass from Hornet quarterback Cameron Hughes to cut the Bulldogs lead to 28-18 with seven minutes remaining in the third period. The Hornets continued to put the pressure on Goochland in the fourth period. A 40yard run by Waller moved the Hornets deep in Bulldog territory. Isiah Ferguson capped that drive with a seven-yard run to make the score 28-25. The Bulldog offense came alive on the ensuing possession and drove 65 yards, capped by an 11-yard run by Ryan Coles to take a 35-25 lead with six minutes to go. The Hornets didn’t give the Bulldogs much time to enjoy the 10-point edge, as Ferguson took the ensuing kickoff and returned it 98 yards for a touchdown and the Hornets were within three, again. The Hornets held Goochland to a three-and-

to swallow for the 3-2 Bulldogs, but could provide valuable insight down the road. “Sometimes in life, things don’t go your way, and hopefully, they’ve learned something tonight that will help them out ten years down the road.” Orange Co.... 6 0 12 17-35 7 7 8-57 Goochland...14 14 0 7-35 7 7 7-56

out and got the ball back on their own 12-yard line with over four minutes remaining in the game. The HughesWaller-Seal connection wasted no time, converting on a key fourth down and three third downs, landing the team deep in Goochland territory with seconds remaining. Kicker Hunter Ferguson knotted the contest at 35 with a 23-yard field goal that completed the comeback. “We didn’t match up well with them and didn’t have the speed to keep up with their guys,” Fowler said. “We stopped them in the first half but couldn’t play with them in the second half.” The teams traded touchdowns and conversions in the first two overtime periods. With the score 56-55 in the third overtime, Kayajanian called his only timeout and decided to go for the win. “These kids had played too hard to not give them a shot at the victory,” he said. Waller took the snap from center and dove across the goal line for the two-point conver-

sion and the victory. “He’s our leader. He really made some plays for us tonight,” Kayajanian said. Fowler felt the move to go for two and win the game was a calculated risk worth taking for the Hornets. “They were moving the ball and picking up yardage, and I don’t blame him for going for it,” Fowler said.

“Sometimes it just comes to matchups and we didn’t have the speed to match up.” The coach emphasized the loss didn’t result from a lack of effort on the Bulldogs part. “I’m so proud of the kids. They never gave up and kept bouncing back and making plays,” Fowler said. It’s a life lesson that’s tough

No. 1 Saints secure win over Cougars 2-1 BY JP BEAUCHAMP Special Correspondent

Last Tuesday, long time field hockey rivals St. Catherine’s and Collegiate faced off for the first time this season on the Cougar’s pristine field turf of Robins Campus in Eastern Goochland County. Despite the layover from last season, where the two teams battled it out for a VISAA state championship, the intensity and pace of the game was breathtaking as the two went all-out in head to head competition with the visiting Saints walking away with a 2-1 win. According to the Saints’ head coach Don Warner, such was expected. “I thought it was typical of a St. Catherine’s/Collegiate hockey game,” Warner said. “These are fun games. Both teams are going to come; they’re going to work hard; they take it important…a little bit of bragging rites, but it’s not a one-anddone. There are three…there’s this one, there’s the next one, then there’s the league championships if we both get through. So, it’s typical.” In line with Warner’s comments, Cougars’ head coach, Karen Doxey said, “It always is [intense] with St. Catherine’s, and that’s what is so fun about playing them. “Actually, it was a really nice hockey game,” Doxey said. “It was well played; a lot of action; a lot of good stick work back and forth. I thought maybe St. Catherine’s executed a little bit better than we did, overall; but we hung in there. We’re working on refining our skills a little bit more and we’re making progress. “ Though St. Catherine’s came away with the win, the less-seasoned Cougars brought their A-game to the table, putting the Saints through their paces and not letting that vic-

Saints junior midfielder Amanda Kim was the first to put St. Catherine’s on the board in the first few minutes of play. Kim took a shot from about six meters out dead center off an assist from teammate Helen Warner. The Saints’ second goal came about halfway into the period in a scuffle right in front of the goal where senior forward Anna Sauer pushed the ball past the Collegiate defense. “We were scrapping for the ball, and I pushed it in,” she said. The Cougar’s only goal came from a corner penalty that occurred at the last possible moment of play; 0:00 showing on the clock. Freshman Brooks Doxey lofted in the shot from an Ellen Davenport assist. “That corner we gave up www.goochlandgazette.com at the end was unfortunate,” See slideshow online! Warner said, “but I actually thought about pulling the team because it’s not worth Photo by Charlie Leffler saving a goal at the expense of St. Catherine’s Anne Maxwell Ellett (21), Helen Warner (24), Janie Spilmen (26) and Peyton Smith (23), line up to defend a shot somebody getting hurt.” from Collegiate senior forward Megan McGhee.
