County event celebrates Black History Month BY ELIZABETH FARINA efarina@midlothianexchange.com
H
er voice boomed a spiritual song as she made her way towards the center of the Shenandoah ballroom during Chesterfield County annual business breakfast held in observance of Black History Month on Friday, Feb. 18. This year's theme focused on African Americans and the Civil War. Actor Charmaine CrowellWhite, who serves as Director of Speech and Drama at Tomahawk Creek Middle School, presented an excerpt from the one-act, onewoman play Crowell-White had written in the mid-1990s portraying historical figure Sojourner Truth, a former slave. The Chesterfield County 2011 Middle School Teacher of the Year came across Sojourner Truth's life story over 20 years ago. Crowell-White noted that the
historical figure was a famed champion of human rights who first gained national attention in Akron, Ohio during a woman's rights conference in 1854. “I could not get enough of her,” Crowell-White said before the 10-minute performance. “She reminds me of one of my grandmothers. She was just such a woman ahead of her time.” Cromwell-White explained that Truth, who changed her name from Isabella Baumfree to Sojourner Truth in 1841, has been a little more obscure than the well-studied Harriet Tubman. According to Women in History, the former New York slave, with the help of activists, successfully sued for the return of her son, who was illegally sold to a southern slave owner. She also worked in New York City as a street minister as well as petitioned for several years in Washington, D.C. for freed blacks to PHOTO BY ELIZABETH FARINA

‘One-Stop’ licensing for new businesses BY LIZI ARBOGAST Capital News Service
N
ew businesses would have an easier time getting licenses and completing other paperwork under a bill proposed by Sen. Chap Petersen, D-Fairfax, and passed by the General Assembly. On unanimous votes, Senate Bill 1226 received final approval last week by the House and Senate. If Gov. Bob McDonnell signs the bill into law, it will take effect July 1. The measure authorizes local governments to establish “one-stop” licensing programs. That means start-ups could go to one location in a city or county to register for a smallbusiness license and fill out state and local tax forms. “This system saves time for

dults convicted of sexually violent offenses would be barred from entering school buses and would have to submit a DNA sample under two bills headed toward approval in the General Assembly. House Bill 2066 “expands the prohibition on entry onto school grounds by any adult convicted of a sexually violent offense to include any school bus.” The measure was approved unanimously by the House on Feb. 8 and by the Senate last week. The Senate broadened the prohibition to include any public or private property being used for a school-related or school-sponsored activity. That change now must be considered by the House. The bill’s patron, Delegate Rob Bell, R-Charlottesville, said that people convicted of a sexually violent offense present a threat to children. He said it is important to make sure students are safe on their way to school -- especially on a bus where other adults may not be RESTRICTIONS P2

The New Community School breaks down the barriers for local students BY ELIZABETH FARINA efarina@midlothianexchange.com
S
ometimes the traditional classroom instruction can become like a cage for a young mind that processes information differently than their peers. The New Community School has provided a unique learning environment for over 30 years for students to break free from the learning disability stereotype and fulfill their potential. The private school currently has 96 students attending its unique campus on the north side of Richmond. The campus, which is divided between the middle school and high school grade levels, is a cluster of homes and a gymnasium where the students meet for assembly and sporting events. Twenty-two of the 96 students reside within Chesterfield County. For Midlothian residents Matt Huffman, a junior, Shannon Rudolph, a sophomore, and seventh-grade student Michael Seckora, the school's academic program has brought out their individual strengths. “It's a really small, private school. I usually say that it's for people with difficulties learning,” Rudolph said. “People that go to our school are ADHD or dyslexic or have processing disorders or learning disabilities. It's not that we're not as smart as other people, we just learn differently.” A typical school week for most students SCHOOL P4

Nearly 40 boxers, aged 1029, representing the American Boxing Association and Alpha Boxing and Fitness Club, will begin competing at 3 p.m. Thirteen dodge-ball teams will begin competing at 4:30 p.m. Music will be provided by teen bands Voicemail at Midnight and Randomiz3d.

RESTRICTIONS from P1 present. “Every parent of a student puts his boy or girl on the bus and takes a leap of faith that his child will get to school safely,” Bell said. “This is an effort to help keep that faith.” He said HB 2066 is an extension of a law passed in 2007 that prohibits sexually violent offenders from entering school property. “I patroned the original law, which was prompted by a sex offender who visited a Central Virginia elementary school dressed as Santa Claus,” Bell said. Bell said the Virginia State Police suggested expanding the ban to school buses. Bell also is sponsoring HB 2065. He said it would “require the collection of (deoxyribonucleic acid) DNA samples upon a conviction for additional sex offenses, including sexual battery, ‘peeping,’ and sexual abuse by an adult of a child who is 14 or 15. It would also authorize the taking of DNA samples pursuant to a plea agreement among all the parties.” HB 2065 also cleared the House and Senate on unanimous votes. The Senate
substituted its own version of the bill; on Friday, the House unanimously approved the Senate substitute. Bell said that currently, the state can collect DNA samples for violators of some sex offenses, but not the ones he has listed in the bill. He said the new law would expand the DNA database because it is adding additional sex offenses to the list. “DNA in the database can be used to determine if the defendant commits a sex offense in the future,” Bell said. “DNA helps ensure that the guilty person is caught.” HB 2065 was suggested by the Virginia Department of Forensic Science as a way of improving the DNA database, Bell said. Bell said that upon conviction, the defendant will be required to provide a DNA sample for inclusion in the database. “Improving the DNA database will help us catch the perpetrator if he ever re-offends in the future,” Bell said. “DNA helps us catch and punish the guilty just as it helps exonerate the innocent.”
Guest column: Maintenance is key for car care Vehicle ownership is a must without public transportation and miles between our destinations. The car is for commuting to work, getting the family to their games and plays or doctor’s appointment and finishing errands to the store. These cars are all machines and will eventually break. Most of the time, it is a cause-and-effect leading back to poor maintenance or being unaware of how to properly maintain the car. I enjoy using my knowledge to explain the misunderstood world of automotive repair and maintenance. I have been asked lots of questions over time and seen simple things that needed to be answered or explained more in depth. First, does one need to change the car’s oil every 3,000 miles as the TV commercials say or go by the owner’s manual that recommends 7,500 miles? The answer is “Yes, you do need to change the oil every 3,000 miles.” There are other systems that need to be checked or replaced at a 3,000mile service interval. For example, tires need rotation and the air pressure checked every 5,000-6,000 miles. If you were to go the 7,500 miles, which for most drivers is 4-5 months, you can lose up to 2 psi per tire per month which can cause poor

fuel economy and uneven tire wear. Also, by going the additional distance, the oil begins to break down causing carbon deposits (a.k.a. engine sludge) that grow like a blood clot in the oil passages. This can cause premature failure of engine components due to a lack of lubrication. It is cheaper, in the long run, to change your vehicle’s oil. Visit your trusted repair shop in shorter intervals to maintain all the car’s systems dependable and safe as you maintain your investment.

way easier on many personal budgets to pay for oil changes over time rather than replace a car. Also, vehicle owners may believe they must go to a car dealership for regular maintenance to keep the car’s warranty valid. However, the choice is really up to the car owner. In 1975, there was a law enacted called the Magnuson- Moss Act which prevents manufacturers from denying warranty if aftermarket parts are used as long as the parts meet or exceed manufacturer requirements or unless the parts are provided free by the manufacturer. There are lots of great people working in car dealerships around Richmond; there are even more independent repair shops that can provide equal service. The choice is up to the car’s owner. If you do not have a thorough, trustworthy service shop, please find one. It will keep you and your car on the road for lots of trouble free miles.

LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Ready for the dog days? BY ELIZABETH FARINA editor@midlothianexchange.com
MEDIA GENERAL NEWS SERVICE
Walking tour at Point of Rocks to be held Saturday The Chesterfield County Department of Parks and Recreation invites the public to a guided walking tour at Point of Rocks Park on Saturday, Feb. 26, from 2-4 p.m. It was here that Gen. Benjamin Butler set up Union headquarters during the 1864 Bermuda Hundred Campaign. From this base of operations, Union soldiers established an imposing signal tower for reconnaissance, constructed earthen fortifications to defend their position, and built a field hospital, where Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, served. A discussion of the naval actions on the James will focus on the attempt by the Union Navy to bypass the bluffs and the Confederate artillery batteries. The tour will pass by the
location of artillery positions along the trail. The highlight of the tour will be a discussion and view of a causeway that was engineered and constructed by Union troops to avoid the swampy region and launch troops on the peninsula. Participants should wear sturdy walking shoes and dress for inclement weather. There is no rain date scheduled and the tour will continue, unless there is lightning. Participants may bring bottled water. The tour begins at Point of Rocks Park, 201 Enon Church Road, at the trailhead next to the playground below the main parking area. To register, visit www.chesterfieldhistory.com. Cost: $8 per person. courtesy of Chesterfield County

Getting a dog has been a very popular topic around our family's kitchen table these days. The two hermit crabs, who have lived for the last three years, made their way to the great beach in the sky this past month. It was a sad and somber moment when we discovered their lifeless shells. Of course, after cleaning out the habitat and storing it away, the conversation turned to whether or not we were ready to welcome a dog into our home. We love dogs. In fact, once upon a time, a Dalmatian we named Caesar was a part of the Farina household for 12 years. He became my dad’s constant companion. He mourned with us when my dad died. He then stayed by my side for almost four more years before a terminal illness led me to say our final goodbyes at the veterinarian’s office. He was a fabulously great dog. Since several years have passed, we’re now considering the possibility of bringing another dog into our lives. My child has never known the responsibilities and joys of having a dog for a pet. We’ve had plenty of gold fish and the long-lasting hermit crabs. We’ve learned the responsibility of daily feeding and even cleaning up after our pets. Yet, it’s not the same level of affection and attention a dog requires. Our neighborhood is filled with people who love their canines. All of the owners have provided examples of taking responsibility of their pet. The dogs, no matter the size, are leashed for their walks. It also appears, since most are well-behaved pups, that the leash is more of a preventative courtesy rather than a restraint. The owners also carry a handy “clean-up” bag and use them when necessary, even if their pet uses the shared green space within the neighborhood. It’s not a perfect utopia of dog love, but it's been a relief to be able to play outdoors or to mow the lawn without any worries about stepping into a pile of it. These examples have also provided a chance for me and my child to discuss opening our lives up to including a dog. The conversations have not centered on why we cannot own a dog. Since owning a mid-sized dog before she was born, I know it’s more than just loving those sweet puppy eyes. We’ve discussed the daily duties and time investment for a happy dog and happy family such as obedience training, daily walks, and even play. We’ve also discussed the associated costs such as the county’s annual dog license fee, veterinarian visits, dog food, dog treats, and dog toys. We’ve discussed adopting from a rescue or a pound. We’re researching the types of breeds that might be inclined to our family’s lifestyle. Our discussions have focused more on planning for our dog’s needs and what responsibilities are involved with pet ownership. And we know, someday when we’re ready, there will be a lovable four-legged addition to our family.

TRUTH from P1 blacks to gain land in the United States expansion west, Cromwell-White said. Although Truth was unsuccessful in the land petition, she did gain an audience with President Abraham Lincoln to address the deplorable living conditions of Freedman's Village, which was located near the capital during the Civil War. Cromwell-White also added that Truth gathered supplies for all-black regiments of the Civil War when they needed shoes. “I could go on and on,” the actor said. “Those were just the issues of the time. She had a calling. She believed that God called her to go out, travel and spread the truth. This was her truth, not M

just her truth, but this was what was happening during these times … what she believed in, at any cost, was to speak the truth as she knew it.” Cromwell-White isn't just focused on bringing historical figures to life. Her passion is teaching the arts. “I love what I do. I believe in it. It's not just being a teacher, but teaching the theater arts,” she said. The theater department has presented a Holocaust play in the fall, which allowed students to study history. They've also produced “Midsummer Nights Dream”, which Cromwell-White explained as a way for students “to be engaged with complex language”

Also, the school produced “A Christmas Carol” during the same time the sixth-grade class were reading the classic. “The arts just provide so many opportunities for learning,” she said. The Peers Acting with Care program and a focus on established core values also presents many opportunities for Cromwell-White to help her students understand and embrace values such as cooperation and accountability. “You know, the greatest thing that happens with the group is that they're thinking how to successfully work together to get a job done,” she said. “I'm on fire as far as that is concerned.”

However, at TNCS, the subjects may be the same, but the student/teacher ratio is limited to nine students in the classroom. The smaller class size provides teachers and students adequate time to thoroughly review the subject through various instructional techniques. The students are also required to complete and turn in their homework or attend after school. “Teachers here make sure you understand the subject. They make sure you do not fail, but it's not easy,” Rudolph said. All three agreed that the small class sizes have helped them achieve in their studies where they had struggled before in a different learning environment. “[Here] I'm not afraid to raise my hand,” said Seckora, who previously attended a public school. “In fifth grade, I was the only one making mistakes; here, I'm not the only one messing up.” And if the students are

spinning their wheels attempting to do required homework, they can call their teachers at home or on a provided cell number to discuss the assignment after school hours. “I've called my math teacher once and she said she would help me during extra help,” Seckora said. Extra help is a set time each day for the students to either receive tutoring from a teacher or a peer. Huffman, who would like to be a teacher in math or science, is currently mentoring a fellow student in algebra. “It helps me refresh,” he said. But academic achievement is not the only opportunities for the students. Huffman is also part of the school's Green Club, which focuses on recycling and energy. Rudolph participates in the student Advisory Board. Seckora is involved with playing on the middle school basketball team for the TNCS Sabres. They also participate in the school's annual events and class field trips that are feasible because of the school's small student population. Besides competing in athletics, participating in clubs, and unique field trips, the TNCS students also are involved with community outreach and fund raising for local charities such as Children's Hospital. “It's more personal because you make the stuff to sell,” Huffman said. This weekend, the students will also unveil their artwork at the TNCS third annual READ: Art Show & Sale. Besides their artwork, over 100 local and regional artists have donated their artwork for the school's annual fund raising event. The Art Show & Sale's opening reception is tonight from 6 – 9 p..m. and will be open to the public Friday through Sunday.

Cosby senior claims first state title BY NATHAN MADDEN Media General News Service
FAIRFAX -- The Central Region had three shots at gold in the finals of Saturday's Group AAA state tournament at Robinson Secondary School, and hit pay dirt each time. After Hanover's Tanner Tinsley recorded a 4-3 win over Green Run's Justin Spyres for his first state championship at 152 pounds, Hopewell's Cody Allala secured his third consecutive Group AAA state title with a 5-3 decision over Colonial Forge's Scott Reilly at 160 pounds. Cosby senior Austin Coburn completed the trifecta with a 6-5 win over Hunter Adams of Franklin County in the 171-pound final. Coburn, who missed time early in the season recovering from shoulder surgery, finished the year with a 44-0 record. "I thought the time I had to recover from PHOTO BY JIM MCCONNELL my surgery helped get me focused for the Cosby's Austin Coburn won the 171-pound weight class at the Group AAA state tournament. year," he said.

for me. I've been working hard for this." The extra work certainly came in handy as Adams challenged Coburn point-forpoint to the buzzer. Adams scored first with an escape early in the second period, but Coburn followed with a takedown for a 2-1 advantage. Adams managed an escape to knot the score 2-2 at the end of the second period. Coburn chose neutral to start the third and scored another takedown about 25 seconds in. Adams countered with an escape and a two-point takedown to take 5-4 lead, but Coburn scored a point to tie at five after the referee called a dangerous hold on Adams. Coburn then scored a quick escape as time ran down and marched away with the win. Saturday's semifinals did a number on Central Region wrestlers, including HaCHAMPION P7
DOMINION DISTRICT BASKETBALL FINALS
BY ARTHUR UTLEY Media General News Service
"Leave it on the track" adorns the back of T-shirts worn by the Cosby indoor track team. The Titans' girls team followed the suggestion to a tee and captured its first Central Region indoor track championship Saturday at the Arthur Ashe Center. Cosby trailed Atlee and LeeDavis going into the final two events, the 3,200 and the 1,600 relay, and won both. "This group of girls is the toughest group of athletes I've ever been around," said coach Bryan Still, a former football standout at Huguenot High, Virginia Tech and the NFL's San Diego Chargers. "This is a culmination of all the hard work they have put in this season." Cosby finished with 68 points, 12 clear of Atlee and 16 ahead of Maggie Walker Governor's School, which nipped Lee-Davis by half a point for third. What's scary about the Titans is that of the girls who scored points in the region meet, only two-time All-Metro softball catcher Taylor Hall (shot put) is a senior. Megan Moye, a junior and the region and All-Metro cross country runner of the year, was named the meet's top runner after winning the 1,600 and 3,200 by substantial margins and anchoring the winning 3,200 relay team Friday. Jayden Metzger, a sophomore, won the 500 and ran legs on the 1,600 and 3,200 relay victors. Metzger teamed with fellow sophomore Gina D'Orazio and freshmen Molly Novak and Alex Moseley on the 1,600 relay. "I knew our strengths would be the relays and Megan," Still said. "We are well-rounded and everyone performed well." Moye decided to run indoors this season for the first time. She won the 1,600 by four seconds and the 3,200 by 16. Although outwardly she ran like a machine in the 3,200, she said she started hurting after the first mile. "I just had to muscle through it and think positive thoughts. I wasn't going to stop. I just had to suck it up and keep running," she said. Midlothian's Marie Johnston was the only local event winner. She took first place in the 1,000 in 3:04.82, leading the Trojans to a sixth-place finish in the team standings. Siobhan Ford-Holland, a senior at Thomas Dale, was named the top field events performer. She won the long jump Friday and the triple TRACK P7

Chiefs denied district repeat Brown's 25-point effort not enough to beat Huguenot BY JIM MCCONNELL jmcconnell@midlothianexchange.com
Monacan’s boys basketball team entered the 2010 Dominion District tournament with something to prove after losing its lone regularseason meeting with top-seeded Cosby, then avenged that defeat with a 25-point thumping of the Titans in the district final. The Chiefs made it back to the championship game last Friday, but displayed none of
that same urgency during the first half of their showdown with Huguenot. The Falcons broke a deadlock by opening the second quarter with a 12-3 run, then held on when Monacan finally found its energy in the final period. Sophomore Jareese Cooley scored nine of his team-high 20 points in the fourth quarter as Huguenot posted a 61-53 victory. “They came out harder than we did,” said Monacan’s Maleek Myers, who finished well
below his season average with just three points. “I think we were living off last year. We had a sense of entitlement; we won it last year, so we were going to do the same thing.” Huguenot’s players were more aggressive from the start – and that didn’t include perhaps the most talented sixth man in Virginia.

Bird's Eboni Gilliam tries to keep the ball away from Cosby's Dorthy Adomako during Friday's game.
Cosby’s girls basketball team got off to a tremendous start in Friday’s Dominion District tournament final against L.C. Bird, racing out to a 15-4 lead with two minutes left in the first quarter. The remainder of the game was best summed up by the “Are you kidding me?” expression on the face of Titans coach Rachel Mead, as the Skyhawks caught up to her squad and cruised to a 65-55 victory at Clover Hill. “Bird played really well. They hit a lot of shots and we didn’t,” Mead said. Cosby’s offense fizzled after Chyna Lennox and Adriane Vaughan hit baskets to break a 30-all deadlock early in the second half. Monica Alexander and Porsha Walton responded with back-to-back three-pointers to spark a 14-1 run as Bird took a ninepoint lead into the fourth quarter. The biggest shot of the game came midway with 3:08 left in the game. The
Skyhawks (16-7) were clinging to a 54-47 lead and coach Chevette Waller wanted her team to take some time off the clock, but Alexander found herself wide open in the right corner and decided to let it fly. Swish! Alexander’s fourth and final threepointer restored Bird’s lead to double figures and left Cosby (19-4) in scramble mode over the final three minutes. “I was supposed to pass it back out,” Alexander said. “I don’t know … I guess I had the shot.” Waller greeted her freshman with a smile and fist bump en route to the locker room after the trophy presentation. “Sorry coach,” Alexander said with a sheepish smile. “That’s OK,” Waller replied. “It would’ve been worse if you had missed it.” Later, Waller acknowledged Alexander’s decision to shoot was one of those quintesGIRLS P6

It was a great shot because she knocked it down,” Waller added. Both teams made 18 field goals and four three-pointers. The difference in the game was the freethrow line, where Bird converted 25 of 36 to Cosby’s 15 of 28. The 64 combined free throw attempts were indicative of the game’s physical nature, which both coaches said worked to the Skyhawks’ advantage. “My kids were looking at me, like ‘We’re getting wounded out here,’ and I didn’t know what to tell them,” Mead said. “It’s hard but we’re going to have to get used
his presence felt when he got into the game midway through the first quarter. The explosive southpaw hit a pair of free throws to fuel a 14-3 scoring surge that wiped out Monacan’s early four-point lead, then added five points late in the first half as Huguenot took a nine-point cushion into halftime. “I try to give the team a spark,” said Alston, who finished with 15 points. “I see what the team needs me to do and I go do it.” When Alston opened the third quarter with a dunk and a three-pointer, Huguenot’s lead swelled into double digits for the first time. “They played inspired ball,” Monacan coach Bill Roberson said. “We can’t get in a hole against a good team like Huguenot.” District player of the year Anthony Brown tried to keep Monacan within striking distance by scoring a game-high 25 points, but Huguenot did a good job shutting down his teammates. Myers struggled to shake free from the Falcons’ aggressive man-to-man defense. He attempted only one shot in the first half and made his lone basket of the game (a three-pointer) with 4:01 left in the fourth quarter.

Walton led all scorers with 16 for Bird. Teammates Eboni Gilliam and Kelsey Cruz added 14 apiece, while Alexander finished with 12 (all from beyond the three-point arc). The Skyhawks and Titans already had clinched spots in the Central Region tournament, but players and coaches on both teams agreed that the result was significant – both for bragging rights and gaining respect within the local basketball community. “Nobody wants to be second place in a championship game,” Walton said. “We strived to be the best and that’s what we did.”

TRACK from P5 jump (her best event) and 55-meter dash Saturday. Ford-Holland ran for Bethel High in Hampton last spring after her family moved, but the family returned to Chester this year. "Each meet I've improved. I'm looking forward to the state meet and improving more," Ford-Holland said. The only meet record for the girls came in the pole vault. Atlee's Cameron Overstreet cleared 12-4, an inch more than the mark set by Lizzie Powell of Patrick Henry last year. Overstreet has vaulted 12 feet or better in every meet this season. For Dominion District representatives, the boys meet was a story of "so close, yet so far." The closest race of the entire meet came in the 300, when Atlee's Marques Atkinson nosed out Cosby's Ajani Kingslow by .25. Lee Davis' Cody Snyder dished out a double helping of frustration to local runners. Snyder surged past Midlothian's Brayden Burleigh on the final lap to win the 1,600 in 4:29.33, beating Burleigh to the stripe by a little more than two seconds. Snyder's margin in the 1,000 was even tighter. He nipped Midlothian's Sean Willard by less than a second.
