Math teacher gets prime award Meadowbrook High’s Paul Daszkiewicz named region’s top educator BY BEN ORCUTT Special Correspondent
S
tudents at Meadowbrook High School thought they were attending a math pep rally last week, but learned the reason for the event was to announce that math teacher Paul Daszkiewicz had been selected as Region 1 Teacher of the Year. In addition to Chesterfield County, Region 1 is comprised of the school districts in Charles City County, Din-
widdie County, Goochland County, Hanover County, Henrico County, New Kent County, Powhatan County, Prince George County, Surry County, Sussex County and the cities of Colonial Heights, Hopewell, Petersburg and Richmond. As part of the Thursday, Sept. 13, ceremony Daszkiewicz received congratulatory letters from Gov. Robert F. McDonnell and Patricia I. Wright, superintendent of public instruction
for Virginia, as well as a certificate of congratulations from Wright. Daszkiewicz, 53, had already been named Chesterfield County Teacher of the Year and now joins seven other regional winners who are in the running for Virginia Teacher of the Year. Known affectionately as “Mr. D,” Daszkiewicz said he was surprised to learn during last Thursday’s pep rally that he had been selected as Region 1 Teacher of the Year. Daszkiewicz said “this was wonderful because it was all the county people and all of my students and it was just a very special time arranged by the administration and I just am very grateful for that,
but, yes, I was completely surprised.” A New Jersey native, Daszkiewicz earned an undergraduate degree in engineering from Virginia Tech and a master’s degree in math education from VCU. Meadowbrook is the only school where he’s taught and he began teaching math there 22 years ago. His course load includes precalculus, probability/statistics and Algebra II. Daszkiewicz and his wife Mimi have two daughters, one a senior at Virginia Tech and the other a sophomore at William & Mary. TEACHER page 5

ersonal safety will be the focus of the 4th annual Fall Family Safety Day event that will take place on Saturday, Sept. 22, at Chesterfield Towne Center in Chesterfield County. Several activities will be offered during the family-oriented event. Kelly Wilkes, the marketing manager for Chesterfield Towne Center, said the experience will impart important information about a variety of safety concerns. “It is so much about education and awareness of your personal safety, home safety, and it takes on a huge family element,” Wilkes said. “It’s very much an educational event, and it includes lots of things that residents of Chesterfield County need to think about, and they can take some literature home.” 2012 marks the first year that the mall will team up with Richmond Alarm, a local company that handles commercial and home safety matters, to bring the event to the public. According to Wilkes, Richmond Alarm will bring its interactive displays to Fall Family Safety Day. “This is the first year that Richmond Alarm is presenting this event, and we’re so excited SAFETY page 2

Local 9/11 monument dedicated 10 years ago BY BECKY ROBINETTE WRIGHT Special Correspondent
I
t stands on a small rise of land in Dale Memorial park. In a breeze nearby, chimes echo a faint tinkling as they sway. A decade ago hundreds stood as it was dedicated. Each side is symbolic of the dedication and heroics of fire, EMS and law enforcement. The top has a small plaque that remembers the fallen on that tragic day of Sept. 11, 2001. In the cemetery stands a monument, a token of respect and remembrance of the fallen, not just on Sept. 11 but those who fall in the line of duty every day. It was a bright and sunny day on Sept. 7, 2002, and hundreds had gathered at Dale Memorial Cemetery, including government officials, first responders and law enforcement. Soon the monument would be unveiled and honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice. The token was the idea of Louis Johnston of Dale Memorial Park. Humbly, Johnston was quick to say that everyone supported him. He said he just had to do something. The monument is fashioned from granite and was made by Matthews Manufacturing in Pittsburgh. It cost a little over $10,000. Each side has a plaque with engravings. The front has a memorial writing. The top has a plaque with engravings of Shanksville, Pa., the World Trade Center Twin Towers and the Pentagon centered in the midst of eagles. Former Lt. Gov. John Hagar was the keynote

miraculously survived and that changed my life forever,� Singleton said. The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack was not Singleton’s first experience with the World Trade Center and terrorists. It was a dark day in the history of New York and the United States when in 1993 the World Trade Center was attacked. Singleton said he responded with his fire unit and was credited with saving the life of a pregnant worker. In 1994, he was promoted to fire lieutenant and supervised a firehouse in Brooklyn. In August 2000, he retired after 22 years of dedicated service and receiving multiple awards during his career. He was once again drawn to serve those in trouble and in dangerous circumstances. In 2001, the Twin Towers were attacked and Singleton -- though now retired − headed to the disaster scene and volunteered to help. “I was standing at the bottom of the North Tower,� he said, “when a loud boom sounded. Then there were loud booms and the tower was coming down. The building was pancaking. Debris was falling everywhere − shoes, purses, items of all kinds, there were even bodies. “Everyone began to run for their lives as now the dust cloud began rolling forth. I had dislocated my shoulder

Col. Thierry G. Dupuis, chief of police for Chesterfield County, and Edward L. Senter, fire chief for Chesterfield County, also are scheduled to appear during the proceedings. Since children will be a major focus during the event, there will be several stations set up to address issues that affect youngsters. At the same time, kids will be able to meet personnel from Chesterfield County Fire Department and Chesterfield County Police Department and see a few of their vehicles up-close.

fighting the fire at the North Tower and had other injuries, but I still moved as fast as I could. The dust was choking and thick. “I was trying to find my way out and it was confusing because you couldn’t see and everything was covered in dust. “Finally, I saw a wall and walked up to it, but, with my injuries, it was too tall for me to climb. My arm was useless. I walked a little ways and there was a shorter part. I went over the wall and then saw a man standing in a doorway. It was totally clean. He looked at me and said, ‘So you made it!’ � Singleton then said he saw several EMS personnel, covered in dust, who were searching for injured people. He called out to them and they assisted him in getting to an ambulance. It was only later in discussing the event with a friend that he learned a chilling fact. “I told my friend about the incident, but my friend said, ‘I have worked there for 15 years, there is no wall there.’ � “I am convinced,� he said, “that I saw a vision and that I was miraculously saved.� Born in Sumter, S.C., Singleton graduated from Lincoln High School in 1967. During his school years he worked several after school jobs to help support his family. While in high school, he enlisted in the Marines and headed to Parris Island for recruit training after graduation.
Fire trucks and police cruisers will be stationed between Red Robin and Coldwater Creek. Wilkes said a section of the parking lot near those stores will be blocked off to accommodate those vehicles. Other educational exhibitions will focus on such diverse topics as cardio pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, and how to be safe while digging holes on your personal property. “We’re going to have some CPR demonstrations, and every resident needs to know how to handle that situation,� Wilkes said. “And, you’re supposed to call before you dig, but there will be safety tips about doing that as well.� One of the most important aspects of the day will be the medication takeback, which is one in a series of events that Chesterfield County Police Department has sponsored this year.

Wilkes said she hopes that event-goers can help Chesterfield Towne Center to accumulate 1,000 pounds of prescription medications, which would top the area’s standing collection record that was previously set at Bon Secours St. Francis Watkins Centre back in July. “We did it last year, and we collected over 600 pounds of medication, so that was the record, but now we want to go for 1,000 pounds,� Wilkes said. “The general public does not understand that there is a proper way and that it is dangerous to throw them in the trash or pour them down the sink.� By the time that Family Fall Safety Day ends, participants should be more enlightened about the work that local fire and law enforcement personnel do and be armed with facts that can

Wilkes said that Chesterfield Towne Center is proud to be able to bring that kind of knowledge to local citizens. “You know, I just think it’s good to reiterate how important things like fire safety, crime prevention and organizing your own neighborhood watch really are,� Wilkes said. “We want to bring about community awareness at least once a year, so for us, it’s really about educating people and addressing these issues, so they can reflect on them and be safer as they go around in their own communities.� The Fall Family Safety Day will be presented from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, at Chesterfield Towne Center at 11500 Midlothian Turnpike in Chesterfield.

He was selected as the “Outstanding Member� of his platoon and meritoriously promoted. Selection as “Outstanding Members� is an honor bestowed upon the recruit who most nearly attains the characteristics of an ideal Marine during recruit training. Traits of character, initiative, leadership, personal appearance and general ability are considered. Singleton served in Vietnam with the 2nd Battalion 9th Marines. He said he received multiple wounds during a 122rocket attack on his unit, awarding him the Purple Heart. After nine months in the hospital, he relocated to New York. His firefighting career was then just on the horizon. Singleton was featured in One Nation: America Remembers September 11, 2001 by the authors of Life Magazine. Matoaca District supervisor Steven A.

Richmond square dance club teaches do-si-do BY BEN ORCUTT Special Correspondent
I
f you’ve ever thought about taking square dance lessons, tonight (Thursday, Sept. 20) is a good time to start. The Circle Eight Square Dance Club, which has been in existence for more than 40 years, is offering square dance lessons from 7 to 9 p.m. at Thompson Middle School at 7825 Forest Hill Ave. in Richmond. The first two weeks of lessons are free and the cost thereafter is $4 per person. Bill and Pat Wilson have been dancing with the club for several years since they moved from Charlottesville to Midlothian. Wilson said the club has about 50 members. His wife said that members range in age from their 40s to 80s. “But we want to encourage couples, Mrs. Wilson said. “We have found that having singles doesn’t really work that well or you need a partner. Come and bring a partner.” Circle Eight also has workshops on Thursdays at Thompson Middle School that take place along with the classes where casual attire is worn. Formal dances are held about twice a month on Saturdays at Elizabeth Holladay Elementary School on Richmond’s Northside that attract dancers from as far away as Charlottesville, Pat Wilson said. “It’s fun,” she said of square dancing. “It’s something different to do and you get your mind off of everything.” “And it’s a social thing,” her husband added. “We visit a lot during the dances.” Square dancing has evolved over the years and women don’t have to wear big skirts to formal dances, Pat Wilson said, adding that she prefers to wear a long skirt. “Because that scares people off I think some too,” she said. Jim Durham, 78, drives from Charles City to call the Thursday night workshops for Circle Eight. He’s in his 25th year of calling for the club. A native of Reidsville, N.C., Durham said he and his wife Nan started square dancing 46 years M

ago. When he’s calling, Durham said he maintains proper square dancing protocol. “No drinking. No rough stuff,” he said. “I don’t put up with it.” Durham said he is proud of the fact that he was present in 1991 when Gov. L. Douglas Wilder signed a law declaring square dancing as the official folk dance of Virginia. Bill Grant, 72, and his wife, June, 69, of Chesterfield said they have been members of Circle Eight for more than 20 years and square dancing is something they enjoy. “The camaraderie and the fellowship and the dancing,” Grant said. “We enjoy the dancing. It’s a good bunch of people and we’ve become good friends with all of them.” “It keeps you flexible,” his wife added. “You gotta move – and, so, for young or old, it’s a good exercise.” June Grant said she thinks one of the reasons that square dancing is not more appealing to young people is that they have a “misconception” that it’s all about country music, but she added that “Jim does a really good job of pulling in some current tunes.” Everett Chesley, 68, and his wife Nell, 67, of Short Pump have been dancing with Circle Eight about two years after she learned about the group in the magazine Fifty Plus. “Well, we got into this because it started out for exercise and we also found it used your mind a lot T

to learn a lot of calls and then the group is just a lot of fun,” Chesley said. “It’s a really nice group of people and we enjoy being with them and we dance. We have socials and have out-of-town weekends and it’s just a lot of fun.” Learning how to properly respond to square dance calls can be challenging, Nell Chesley said. “I will say the people are very forgiving when you forget, because you will forget,” she said. When describing his role, Durham makes it sound like he’s somewhat akin to an air traffic controller. “The caller’s job is − my job is − is wherever they start their home position. In other words, if they’re at the sides or at the edge, my job is to do a whole lot of choreography and get them back with their original partner where they began to dance,” Durham said. “ ‘Allemande Left, a Right and a Left Grand,’ that’ll get you around there right back,” Durham said of one of the most used calls in square dancing. The Circle Eight Square Dance Club includes members from all walks of life and professions, Pat Wilson said. “Square dancing is a very affordable entertainment,” she said. “And anyone’s welcome too and it’s friendly. You’ll be most welcome here.” For more information about the Circle Eight Square Dance Club, call the Wilsons at 4237686 or send an e-mail to Circle8SquareDance@gmail.com.

had so far and the passion he’s always had for teaching children − and he could have taught anything, but he chose math because he knew that this is one of the subjects that’s probably the most difficult for many people and he just felt that he could make the most difference teaching math,” she said. After the ceremony, Jessica Mucciacciaro, an 18-year-old senior at Meadowbrook, said Daszkiewicz made a difference in her life when he was her math teacher when she was a freshman. “I used to stay after school with him every day because that’s how I passed my SOL (Standards of Learning),” she said. Mucciacciaro said Daszkiewicz “deserved this award.” “He knows how to explain things,” she added. “He is the best teacher ever.” Thomas Ferrell, who is in his fifth year as principal at Meadowbrook, said it was an honor for one of the school’s teachers to be named Regional Teacher of the Year. “I’m still very ecstatic,” Ferrell said. “I mean, this is quite an honor. It speaks
volumes to his work − not just to Meadowbrook High School − but to our community at large and to the service that he gives to our students.” Marcus J. Newsome, superintendent of Chesterfield County Public Schools and a former math teacher, attended the ceremony and said afterwards that the honor bestowed upon Daszkiewicz is significant. “We know we have great teachers here in Chesterfield County Public Schools and it’s nice that those outside of the school district validate what we already know,” Newsome said. “ ‘Mr. D’ is an outstanding math teacher. He represents so many wonderful math teachers and we hope that this will motivate more of our students to pursue careers in mathematics.” Daszkiewicz said he doesn’t plan toleave Meadowbrook, the home of the Monarchs. “I hope not to,” he said. “If they’ll have me, I’m going to be here till I stop teaching, which is hopefully a long time in that too. I am proud to be a Monarch.”

TEACHER from page 1 Daszkiewicz responded humbly when asked how it felt to be named the top teacher in Region 1. “Oh, I don’t know about top,” he said. “There are so many teachers who could be in my place right here – a lot of them at Meadowbrook High School, a lot of them in the math department. But I’m glad to be recognized and I hope to be a good representative of Chesterfield County.” Part of his passion for teaching math comes from his positive outlook on the subject, Daszkiewicz said. “Oh, I just think that any child can learn math and sometimes I say my goal at the beginning of the year is if a student hates math just a little bit less at the end of the year than they did at the beginning, then I’ve done something good,” he said. Mimi Daszkiewicz attended last week’s ceremony and talked about what her husband’s selection as Region 1 Teacher of the Year means to her. “It is the accumulation of an incredible career that he’s

National Orienteering Day will be observed at Pocahontas State Park BY KOREY HUGHES Special Correspondent
N
ational Orienteering Day will be observed on Sunday, Sept. 23. If you’re not familiar with the term, orienteering is when outdoor enthusiasts use compasses and maps to find locations in a specific geographical area. On that day, the Central Virginia Orienteering Club will respect the occasion with a gathering at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfield. Central Virginia Orienteering Club was founded in September 2011, and its purpose is to bring attention to the aforementioned pastime. The group is a member of Orienteering USA, and the national organization asked its satellite groups to host orienteering events in their local areas on Sunday. Mark Walmsley is one of the event’s organizers, and he said the Central Virginia Orienteering Club hosts events throughout the region at least once a month. “We’re looking to put on more events to make the sport more available to people in (and around) Richmond,” Walmsley said. On Sunday, participants will read topographical maps to find flags that members of the club have placed on Pocahontas State Park’s grounds. But, as Walmsley said, the event isn’t necessarily targeted at advanced map readers. In fact, he hopes that the meet-up will attract beginners who have never tried orienteering before and bring new members to the organization. “It’s a day where they want all the member clubs to put on an event and publicize (orienteering) a bit to bring in beginners who want to join,” Walmsley said. “On that one day a year, the national federation wants to make sure that events are made available to the public.” The proceedings will work different for novices than it will for experienced map
readers. That is, amateurs will receive help from club members if they need it, and they can take as much time as they need to find the flags. “We’ll time each person individually,” Walmsley said. “It’s not a mass-start race, so you’ll be running around by yourself, and you can start at any time within that twohour range.” “On that day, you’ll be able to pick a course that’s as long as you’re comfortable with. And, I’ll be there along with other members of the group, and we’ll be able to give instruction to people who need help to read the maps and compasses.” If you don’t own a compass, Walmsley said his group will have plenty of them available for participants to borrow. However, maps may be in short supply, which is why he suggests that interested parties register in advance. “You can indicate that you’re coming on that date, but − if people decide later on that they just want to come on the day of the event − it’s not required,” Walmsley said. “It would be very helpful, though.” Participants are welcome to bring their mountain bikes along, too, but they will need to know how to navigate maps as well as the terrain. According to Walmsley, Pocahontas State Park is a great location for his club to celebrate National Orienteering Day because it is a perfect place to perform the activity. “It’s a very beautiful forest, and it has a big enough area without roads,” Walmsley said. “It’s also got a lot of good details for orienteering, like hills and streams.” The Central Virginia Orienteering Club will meet from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23, at Pocahontas State Park at 10301 State Park Road in Chesterfield County. The event is free. For more information about the organization, or to register for the event, visit www.centralvaorienteering.com.
Railroad exhibit steams into Chesterfield Historical Society CONTRIBUTED REPORT
T
he Chesterfield Historical Society of Virginia (CHSV) is offering the exhibit, “Chesterfield County Railroads: From Mule Power to Steam Power,” through the end of December at the County Museum on the historic 1917 Courthouse Green at 6813 Mimms Loop in Chesterfield. The exhibit highlights the importance of 19th century Chesterfield County railroads from the first railroad in Virginia, a mule-powered
gravity track called the Chesterfield Railroad (opened in 1831), to the steam train network that handled freight and passenger traffic, turning the region into a transportation hub. In addition to a display of historic railroad artifacts such as original train tickets and heavy-duty metal spikes used to nail iron tracks to wooden sleepers, the exhibit includes an original train schedule for the Bright Hope railroad, also known as the Tidewater & Western, which ran from Farmville to Bermuda Hundred until 1917
when the rails were torn up and shipped to Europe to aid with the Allies effort in World War I. The new exhibit also displays a rare collection of historic photographs, including early 1900s train stations in Midlothian, Bon Air and Hallsboro, as well as the Chester railroad workshops where three of Chesterfield County’s railroads crossed. The County Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. A $2 donation is suggested.

A group tug-of-war competition also is scheduled. For children, the biggest draw will be the KidsZone, which is sponsored by the Goddard School. Fun competitions and educational games are just some of the activities that will be avail-
able. “The Goddard School and Space Walk of Chester do a fantastic job of keeping the little ones busy,” Fausz said. “Goddard School uses the KidsZone to educate kids on healthy eating habits through arts and crafts projects, and Space Walk of Chester brings several inflatables like slides, moon bounces and obstacle courses, which keeps the kids moving non-stop.” The World Champion Pie-Eating Contest might be the most memorable aspect of Saturday’s experience.

hester residents will assemble for a day of revelry during the 11th annual Chesterfest that will get underway on Saturday, Sept. 22. Presented by the Chester Community Association and sponsored by the Village News and the Chesterfield County Parks and Recreation, the event will feature fun competitions, music and merriment that the entire family can enjoy. Elliot Fausz, one of the event’s organizers, said, “Chesterfest is an annual event that celebrates the Chester community and promotes local business in the village.” “It’s all about the community. Every dollar raised goes back into the community through other projects that the Chester Community Association leads throughout the year.” The festivities will occur on the Village Green, which Fausz described as the “center of town” that houses a huge open space. With that said, plenty of activities will take place throughout the day on different sections of the space’s large lawn. Musical performances will carry on continuously on two stages, and the invited bands’ styles include such diverse genres as blues, bluegrass, jazz fusion and Southern rock. Acts such as Chester Com-

Manchester Lancers blank Monacan 40-0 in Dominion District contest BY BEN ORCUTT Special Correspondent
T
he Manchester Lancers dominated on both sides of the ball on Friday and blanked the visiting Monacan Chiefs 40-0 in the first Dominion District contest of the season for both teams. With the win, the Lancers are 2-1 overall and 1-0 in league play, while the Chiefs fell to 0-3 overall and 0-1 in district play. Manchester opened the season with a 47-41 loss to Meadowbrook, but bounced back with a 45-30 win over Matoaca, followed by the blowout against Monacan. The Lancers have scored a total of 126 points and are averaging 42 points per game. Against the Chiefs, the Lancers scored on their first two possessions. Senior quarterback Brandon Allen hit senior slot receiver Myles Brathwaite with a 16-yard scoring pass with 7:57 left in the first quarter. The two-point conversion attempt was no good and Manchester was up 6-0. The Lancers increased the lead on their next possession on a 2-yard scoring run by sophomore running back Troy Corey. Manchester failed to convert the two-point try and with 4:50 left in the first quarter, they were ahead 12-0. Manchester came close to scoring on three consecutive first-quarter possessions, but fell shot when

McFadden’s extra-point attempt was no good, but with less than 8 minutes to play, the game was out of reach for the Chiefs and they fell to the Lancers, 40-0. Following the game, Monacan head coach Danny Parsons said he could find few bright spots in the contest for the Chiefs. “The second half I thought we came out with a little more fire and played a little bit better I think,” Parsons said. “It’s hard to find PHOTO BY KENNY MOORE bright spots out of something like that.

I thought our offensive line played very well, controlled the tempo, really did a nice job protecting our quarterbacks. I think it was a great team effort tonight.” With their blue jerseys and white pants and white helmets with orange trim, the Lancers’ uniforms look a lot like the ones worn by the Auburn Tigers. Hall said that’s no accident. “We’ve had blue helmets at Manchester for 30-something years and we got the same colors and I like the colors and what Auburn looks like, so just bringing a little different tradition here,” Hall said. Hall said Allen will “be out for a couple of games” due to his shoulder injury, but added that Moss was “excellent” in his back-up role. David Thompson, a 5-10.5, CONTEST page 9

without fun,� Thompson said. Brathwaite, 5-9 and 143 pounds, had a good night receiving catching six passes for 117 yards, unofficially, and two TDs. “Defense did their thing because that’s the first shutout we had in a while and offense definitely put up big points, Brathwaite said. “Second team came in, did their thing too, so it was [an] all-around good game.� Brathwaite said Moss was a little anxious about taking over the reins at quarterback in the second half.
