Bonds of sisterhood: giving the gift of life

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – Teresa Burton never asked her sisters to help save her life; they volunteered.

When a doctor told the Powhatan woman in fall 2016 that she had Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disease and needed a kidney transplant, she was in disbelief. Her first reaction was to just sit in the doctor’s office and cry.

“To get diagnosed that day and be told I was up to Stage 4, it was a shock. I didn’t know how to respond.

Really I thought he gave me the wrong results,” she said.

After the truth sunk in, one of the first things Teresa did was tell her family and they were there to support her, she said. It wouldn’t be an easy process; she had months ahead of her while testing was done to see if she qualified to get a kidney transplant and if her body could handle the four-hour surgery.

When she finally got the go ahead in March 2017, she

Third-graders from all three Powhatan elementary schools participated in Farm Day on Oct. 18 as part of National Farm to School Month. The students visited 14 stations to learn about agriculture and food sources. At one station, they learned about chickens.

POWHATAN – A major change implemented statewide this summer that has been affecting the process for getting psychiatric residential treatment for juveniles has had some local impact but is currently under review.

The Children’s Services Act (CSA), which was formerly known as the Comprehensive Services Act for At-Risk Youth and Families, is a law enacted in 1993 to combine funding streams providing services for at-risk children and their families, said Audra Morris, Powhatan’s CSA coordinator.

One part of the vast array of services provided under the CSA program is therapeutic residential care, which can be determined necessary

when outpatient community based services are not effective or are no longer the best option, she said.

But effective July 1, the Virginia Department of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) implemented new regulations regarding the requirements for obtaining a Certificate of Need for a Medicaid funded placement in a psychiatric residential treatment facility or a therapeutic group home. DMAS contracted with Magellan of Virginia to be its behavioral health services administrator and administer the new regulations through the Independent Assessment, Certification and Coordination Team (IACCT).

But while IACCT was intended to be a process that could expedite getting a child appropriate placement, for one reason or another it has turned into the opposite of that

and is instead lengthening the process, Morris said.

“Statewide we have seen that the IACCT process is keeping children in a residential treatment facility at the highest level longer than medically necessary. So when they are ready to drop down to a group home or come to more community based services, that process seems to be delaying that ability to come out of those more restrictive services,” Morris said. “On the other hand, we are also seeing where it is taking longer to get those services approved to get them into a service that they need. So it is going both ways.”

Locally, Powhatan has had some children affected but social services has been able to take care of those issues and “the children have gotten see IACCT, pg. 4

POWHATAN – A new speaker series will kick off next week designed to bring discussions of relevant and engaging topics to promote and benefit the Powhatan community.

A small committee that represents a public, private and nonprofit collaboration will launch The Powhatan Forum at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 4 at Powhatan High School, 1800 Judes Ferry Road. The forum is a program of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce. Cost is $10 per person.

A good speaker has the ability to educate and to entertain but he or she also has the ability to make you reconsider things you always took for granted, said Angie Cabell, one of the committee members and the executive director of the chamber.

“I think that any time we can come together as a community, learn something and engage in discussion, we are all the better for that,” Cabell said. “There are multiple speaker series throughout the region that are successful, so I think people

find them enjoyable. There is clearly an interest, and it is nice to provide the opportunity closer to home.”

The series’ inaugural event will feature Dr. Robert Holsworth, who has an extensive background in political science, higher education, and private enterprise and will provide insight to the current political landscape. He is also the team lead for higher education and civic engagement projects for Decide Smart.

Prior to joining the firm, he was the founding director of HOLSWORTH the Center for Public Policy and the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs at Virginia Commonwealth University. He also served as Dean of the College of Humanities and Sciences – the largest unit of the 31,000-student university.

Holsworth has occupied key positions in a number of major governmental initia-

tives. He was the executive director of the Governor’s Commission on Efficiency and Effectiveness. He has been the director of the Virginia Executive Institute and co-staff director of the Commission on the Future of Virginia’s Urban Areas, a gubernatorial commission that examined how Virginia’s urban areas could become flourishing parts of regional economies.

The timing of the first forum was important to organizers, with Holsworth speaking only days before the 2017 Virginia Gubernatorial Election takes place on Tuesday, Nov. 7, said Dr. Tracie Omohundro, a committee member and assistant superintendent for instruction for Powhatan County Public Schools.

Omohundro said she took a class from Holsworth in 1993 in the midst of the gubernatorial race between George Allen and Mary Sue Terry and found Holsworth’s perspective fascinating. She added that he brings a nonpartisan approach and that he will speak about the “implications of elections on the community and state.” see SPEAKER, pg. 5

knew her name would go on a list to search for a donor but that there was also the possibility that a family member might be a match.

“I had people tell me they would go, but my two sisters went together and were the first to be tested,” Teresa said.

After the surgery was approved, Teresa’s younger sister Francine Nash-Bethea of Powhatan and older sister Bernice Nash of Chesterfield didn’t ask, they told her they were going to do the tests to see if they could donate.

They had even begun to purposely lose weight in advance, knowing weight can play a factor in someone’s ability to donate.

Two weeks after the tests were done, Teresa was at her home with Francine when they got the call – both of her sisters were a match.

“I was excited because it was something I needed but I was also concerned because I felt like that was a lot to ask someone, to have to give up one of her kidneys and

Drivers: Slow down for deer

News Editor

POWHATAN – Powhatan High and Flat Rock Elementary schools were put on temporary lockdowns on Friday, Oct. 20 as a precaution because of police activity occurring in the area but not at the schools.

Powhatan County Sheriff’ Brad Nunnally said an anonymous cell phone call came in reporting one person was trying to kill another person and the location pinged near the high school.

When deputies responded and a neighbor reported possibly having heard gunshots in the area, the two nearby schools were contacted and told to go on a temporary lockdown as a precaution.

“We called the schools just to be on the safe side and told them

to go ahead and do a modified lockdown, primarily at Flat Rock because they have recess. We said if you have any of them outside, just bring them in and we will let you know,” Nunnally said.

However, he said when deputies investigated, they found nothing to substantiate the call. Because of other calls that came in possibly using the same prepaid cell phone, he believes they were made by a prank caller. The case is still under investigation.

Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent of Powhatan County Public Schools, confirmed the sheriff’s office contacted the school district about going on lockdown as a safety measure but it only lasted about 15 minutes. Both schools received calls from concerned parents.

“You don’t go on lockdown and not get calls. The high school

has been dealing with some and Flat Rock has been dealing with some and they have just been telling them we were advised by the sheriff’s department to go on lockdown as a precaution, which we did, and it was quickly lifted,” Jones said on Oct. 20.

Jones said there may be a heightened sense of concern with some of the issues that have happened around the state, so the school district is trying to be cautious.

“Unfortunately, when these kinds of activities are publicized, the more they happen, the more I think they invite copycat types of activities occurring,” he said.

“Sometimes you see an uptick in that. Once you make one announcement and once you close the school or put it on lockdown, it encourages a certain element to kind of replicate some of those things.”

Contributed Report Autumn is here, and along with colorful leaves, crisp air, and shorter days, it means Virginia’s white-tailed deer will be on the move.

Fall is the breeding season for deer, and consequently, deer are more active now than at any other time of the year.

In addition to more deer activity, motorists will soon be commuting in the dark, increasing the likelihood of encountering a deer on the road. While less than 2 percent of vehicle fatalities and injuries involve deer collisions in Virginia, hitting a deer can cause considerable damage to both people and property.

The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) recommend the following tips to drivers to avoid hitting a deer: When driving, particularly at night (from dusk to dawn) slow down and be attentive. If you see one deer, likely there will be others. If one deer crosses the road as you approach, others may follow.

Deer habitually travel the same areas; therefore deer crossing signs have been installed by the Virginia Department of Transportation.

Use caution when you see these signs.

Drivers should apply brakes, even stopping if necessary, to avoid hitting a deer, but should never swerve out of the lane to miss a deer. A collision with another vehicle, tree or

HILDA BOWMAN

METRO CREATIVE

other object is likely to be more serious than hitting a deer.

Rely on your caution and your own senses, not deer whistles you can buy for your car.

These devices have not been shown to be effective.

Any person involved in a collision with a deer or bear while driving a motor vehicle, thereby killing the animal, should immediately report the accident to a Conservation Police Officer or other law enforcement officer in the county or city where the accident occurred.

Drivers who collide with a deer or bear, thereby killing the animal, may keep it for their own use provided that they report the accident to a law enforcement officer where the accident occurred and the officer views the animal and gives the person a possession certificate.

be extra careful with anything (matches, campfires, bonfires, mechanical equipment, etc.) that could cause a wildfire during this time.

Hot, dry and windy conditions have fueled a number of wildfires that have recently wreaked havoc in California, and the Virginia Department of Forestry has all of its emergency response equipment and personnel in an increased state of readiness. A quick response to a wildfire will help decrease the possibility of that fire becoming large and disastrous.

Local fire departments will work closely with the VDOF to protect the citi-

zens, property and resources of the Commonwealth, but they can’t do it alone. Wildfire prevention is still the best option.

“Before the rain this week, it had been more than 30 days since any measurable precipitation fell on the commonwealth,” said Fred Turck, VDOF’s wildfire prevention manager. “That has us very concerned because when things are very dry they tend to burn much more quickly. And that makes battling a resulting wildfire that much harder and puts lives and property at risk.”

Because more than 96 percent of wildfires in Virginia are caused by

human activity, most can be prevented if people take care to ensure their debris burning or campfire doesn’t escape their control. People burning trash or debris remains the No. 1 cause of wildfires in Virginia.

“Weather plays a critical role in wildfire,” Turck said. “Before you light your fire, make sure winds are less than 15 mph and that the relative humidity level is above 35 percent. If the conditions aren’t right, please don’t ignite.”

Fall is the time when some people burn their downed leaves, but there is an alternative – they make excellent mulch for

your yard/garden. If you do have to burn: keep your pile small; have a rake or shovel on hand; keep a charged water hose nearby, and have a phone accessible to call 911 if the fire escapes your control.

“Stay with your fire until it is completely out, and remember that ashes can retain enough heat to ignite a fire for as many as a couple of days,” Turck said.

While there isn’t a 4 p.m. Burn Law in effect statewide during the fall, be sure to check with your local fire officials for any local restrictions or bans.

The Virginia Department of Forestry protects

and develops healthy, sustainable forest resources for Virginians. Headquartered in Charlottesville, the agency has forestry staff members assigned to every county to provide citizen service and public safety protection across the commonwealth, which it’s been doing now for more than 100 years. VDOF is an equal opportunity provider.

With 16 million acres of forestland and nearly 108,000 Virginians employed in forestry, forest products and related industries, Virginia forests provide an overall economic output of more than $21.5 billion annually.

The Powhatan Today took a trip to the Chesterfield County Fair from Aug. 25 to Sept 2. Jim Callear, along with his son, Thomas, Jo Lumbo of Powhatan, and Austin Smith of Chesterfield presented a World War II U.S. Navy recruiting station. The show was their way of teaching to anyone who wanted to learn about WWII, the navy or any of the hundreds of other thing from that time in our history. The fair had three rainy days but the group was still able to recruit hundreds of boys and girls, men and woman into service in 1943. Keep looking at the Powhatan Today to see where the group will be teaching the history of our military from the Civil War to today.

ministrator Ted Voorhees summarized the issue with IACCT for the board and Sen. Glen Sturtevant Jr., R-10, and Del. Lee Ware, R-65, who were also at the meeting. Carson Tucker, District 5, told the legislators that IACCT is a “unanimous concern� of the Powhatan Social Services Board.

Prior to July, determining what level of care a juvenile needed was a relatively straightforward process that was all handled at the local level, said Catherine Pemberton, director of Powhatan County Social Services. A child’s case was brought to the Family Assessment and Planning Team (FAPT) or, if the process started in the schools, the Individualized Education Program (IEP) Team, for staffing and recommendations of appropriate services. Morris then took the teams’ recommendations and worked out the specifics regarding the provider and cost of those services. “The other thing she is doing is trying to find appropriate services available at no cost through other providers,�

Pemberton said. “Sometimes you can just make a good referral and the family can move on with their life. They don’t need to come through the whole process.�

The CPMT “is the executive level of the agencies that participate at the family assessment level,�

Pemberton said.

With the new changes DMAS implemented this summer, the Independent Assessment, Certification and Coordination Team (IACCT) gathers relevant information that Magellan uses to render medical necessity determinations, Morris said. The IACCT includes the child, the child’s family/legal guardian, and clinical professionals from the child’s community. When possible, a primary care physician or psychiatrist who knows the child’s history will be involved in the assessment.

A Magellan intensive care manager (ICM) assists with care coordination for the team while a Magellan family support coordinator (FSC) with experience as the parent of a child receiving behavioral health services connects with the family during the course of treatment to offer continuity of care, she said. An IACCT recommendation meeting is then scheduled with best practice urging the local FAPT be involved. The team develops an appropriate plan of care

to meet the individualized needs of the child and family, which may include residential services. “Basically what they are doing is what our FAPT team has always done,� Morris said. “The difference is we know our youth, we know our local services that we can provide, and we can usually get the documentation, do the assessment, meet with the family and everyone to make those determinations quicker than they can. That is where it seems to be delaying the process.�

The biggest issues seem to be about communication and Magellan being willing to partner with the localities, Morris said. “I think that is something that in the beginning of this they hadn’t really thought about. They were thinking, ‘we will take care of this, we will get the child where they need to be and everything will be good,’ � she said. “With everyone working together and starting to talk about it, they are starting to realize we have to come together to make it work.�

Morris added she received a report this month that Magellan is aware of the delays and the lack of necessary documentation.

She was told Magellan planned to begin bimonthly calls starting Oct. 20 that include stakeholder groups’ representatives. “They are very aware

of the delays and the difficulties that are being seen with this process and they are working toward trying to remedy that,� she said.

For Pemberton, what is “frustrating� is that CSA is intended as a local program to bring all the partners in a community together to work toward the good of a child. She said she is aware that process may work better in some places, depending on the locality, but added she is very confident in how Morris runs the CSA program locally and how the schools and assessment teams review cases.

Pemberton also said she is aware that CSA as a whole is an expensive program, so it regularly is under scrutiny. In fiscal year 2017, the cost for the total program in Powhatan to provide services to 54 children was $1,608,803, with $671,564 of that being the local share.

Pemberton pointed out CSA is a sum sufficient program, meaning it has to handle and pay for whatever comes its way, but it is also vital for children who really need services. “We are just really careful to make sure they get what they need – no more than what they need and no less than what they need – and we want to make sure the county gets a good deal for the money and that we are spending money carefully and wisely,� she said.

Since her diagnosis in 1995, Teresa has had to give herself several insulin shots a day. But although she was aware of the dietary concessions she needed to make because of her diabetes, she didn’t always do it.

preparation to see if she qualified to receive a kidney transplant. Initial tests on her sisters revealed that both could be a viable kidney donor match, but further testing showed Francine’s kidney would likely be a slightly better match.

Teresa’s sisters had mixed reactions to this news.

Francine said she was happy she was a match.

She also knew going in that being a donor was a long and involved process, first to make sure her body could handle it and then with the actual procedure and recovery.

“It never crossed my mind that it was surgery. I was just grateful and happy I was a match. That is the only thing I looked at.

It was just being a match and being able to help her,” Francine said.

In the hours her sisters were in surgery, Bernice said she was “all to pieces” because of the fear of something going wrong.

“I was scared to death because I couldn’t imagine my life without them.

Once the doctor came out and said everything was good, that was a big relief off of me,” she said.

Both Teresa and Francine came through their surgeries without complications, were in the hospital for a few days and then headed home a day apart to begin recuperating.

Francine said the first two weeks after surgery were rough, but they had a great deal of family support and she was back up and moving around by the third week. She has to watch what she eats, especially since diabetes is he-

reditary, and stay within a healthy weight range since she only has one kidney now.

“It was a little rough but I would do it all over again,” she said.

Since receiving her sister’s kidney, Teresa said she has had more energy but she still has to pay attention to her limitations.

“It is still sometimes like I could run a marathon but my body will tell me I can’t,” Teresa said.

“As far as the kidney responding with my body, it has been great. The downside so far is the medication. I think I originally started out with about 30 pills in the morning and 25 at night. Now I am down to 14 pills in the morning and 12 at night.

That will be a lifelong thing.”

Making those important lifestyle changes was also hard, but Teresa said it is getting easier with time as she gets used to doing without the things she knows would cause her body harm.

“I do feel like I have learned from it, because it is like a second chance. It is not like Francine can give me another kidney. I joke about it that Bernice could give me another one,” she said. “But I don’t want to go through the surgery again and I don’t want anything to happen to the kidney Francine gave me because of the careless behavior I used to have.”

Teresa was scheduled to start back to work on Monday, Oct. 23 as a technical analyst for Parallon/HCA and has another major milestone to look forward to shortly – her son Crezone Burton Jr. is getting married on Nov. 4.

“I am glad that it didn’t go wrong so I could be here to see my son get married have kids one day,” Teresa said.

‘Me, too’ campaign draws needed awareness

By Laura McFarland News Editor

Me, too.

I never thought two little words could have such a tumultuous impact, but I think anybody who has been on social media in the last week and a half might agree that these words are anything but simple.

I first noticed the simple phrase in a dear friend’s Facebook post, followed by an explanation for what it meant: “If all the women who have been sexually harassed and/or assaulted wrote ‘Me, too’ as a status (and/ or as a reply to this post), we might give people a sense of the magnitude of this problem. It's shocking to think how normalized this hidden violence is.”

According to news accounts, the call to action was issued by actress Alyssa Milano in the wake of allegations of decades worth of sexual misconduct by Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein coming to light.

When I first saw this friend’s post, (let’s call her W) my immediate reaction was to think about a trip I took to Italy in college while I was studying abroad. Verona was the last stop of a fantastic nine-day trip around the country with three other young women. While walking along the Adige River, we were shocked when a group of men quietly came up behind us and three of us had our behinds grabbed. The fourth girl escaped the physical contact but had the men yell an Italian curse word that we didn’t need to speak Italian to understand. We somewhat jokingly took to referring to the city as “not so fair Verona,” but the feeling the experience engendered was anything but a laughing matter.

Reading this, some people might think it’s no big deal. There are so many worse things that could happen than a group of modern day Neanderthals getting fresh with some tourists. And I understand there are women all over the world who experience unimaginable and

horrific sexual violence and sexual misconduct every day. But I also reject the idea that there is an acceptable level of sexual conduct against a man or woman who is unwilling.

Thinking about this incident and wanting to help raise awareness about the international problems that are sexual misconduct and sexual assault, I copied the post. And I was incredibly saddened to see that within a few hours of posting, five women I know replied “Me, too.” What made me even sadder was how many other friends I also noticed with the same post.

In a conversation last week with Christine Trotta, domestic violence program coordinator for Powhatan County Social Services, she made a very good point that campaigns like this may take off because it is easier and can feel safer to come out and disclose something like that when someone else has done it, too. Just as with awareness months, such as October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, having that feeling that you are not alone can lessen some of the stigma or other strong emotions associated with publically sharing what too many people feel is a shameful part of their lives.

“The phrase ‘me, too’ – I think the important word is ‘too.’ Because you are adding your name to a growing number of people who have experienced the same thing you have,” she said.

I asked W about her decision to participate, and she said that, the way she sees it, first comes awareness of the problem and then hopefully people start asking the harder questions.

Another friend who posted (I will call her M) pointed to the cases where the morals of the victim are attacked because of supposed suggestive clothing or behavior. But as she said, no one deserves sexual assault – men and women alike – and she felt like it was time victims become aware and unafraid to raise their voices against the violence done to them.

Domestic violence awareness critical

By Christine Trotta Contributing Columnist

October may be Domestic Violence Awareness Month, but for survivors and current victims of violence at home, every day includes domestic violence awareness.

Powhatan Domestic Violence Services works to provide survivors of domestic violence and sexual violence unconditional support and empowerment to plan and build safe and healthy futures free of violence. In recognition of this month, a proclamation was presented to the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors on Monday, Oct. 23.

National #PurpleThursday was Oct. 19. Join us in wearing purple throughout the month to support survivors.

Domestic violence is a pattern or history of behavior in which an individual uses violence to exert power and control over the individual’s partner or family member. Violence may include but is not limited to physical assault, sexual assault, verbal threats, property destruction, pet abuse,

financial abuse or emotional abuse. It is important to remember that domestic violence does not discriminate and can affect anyone regardless of age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic status.

It is important to remember that not all domestic violence includes physical assault or will leave a visible mark or bruise on a person’s body. Similarly, not all marks or bruises on an individual are an indication of domestic violence and it can be harmful to jump to such conclusions.

However, there are some signs that we can look out for to determine if domestic violence may be occurring. If we see them, we can think carefully and decide how we want to discuss our concerns with the person. These signs include financial control, threats, intimidation, minimizing or denying abuse, or humiliation. Isolation is also a factor seen more often in rural communities, but can occur anywhere. The controlling partner will often limit who the other partner see AWARENESS, pg. 9

Mass shooting raises question: is freedom worth the price Dear Editor, After the shootings in Las Vegas, Bill O’Reilly was reported to have said Vegas was the price of freedom.

I suppose he has a point. If we want as citizens the right to carry any weapon of our choosing then we have to acknowledge the possibility that a person with issues may be able to procure a weapon and do harm to others.

So perhaps the real question is not, what is the price of freedom, but rather is the freedom worth the price? Don’t get me wrong, I believe in the second amendment. My husband and I come from families with a long heritage of hunting and gun ownership. We just recently renewed our concealed carry permits. My husband carries regularly, and I selectively carry based on where I will be. People have the right to defend themselves. This is more of a question of what weapon do we need to do so and which weapons are reasonable. We already have restrictions on what weapons we can simply purchase.

The average citizen cannot just go out to a store, driver’s license in hand, and buy an anti-aircraft missile launcher or flame thrower. I don’t think most Americans would want a neighbor, even a

But with any story there is always more than one opinion, as with yet another friend (I will refer to her as B) who I have talked to multiple times about her being sexually assaulted several years ago. She chose not to post “Me, too.” B said she is tired of seeing these messages go viral and then falling flat or failing to bring about real change as the movement is replaced with the next social media phenomenon. She also said she felt that -- instead of asking the victims insensitive questions about what they were wearing or why they didn’t leave if they felt uncomfortable -- we need to be asking what led to the perpetrator feeling the behavior was acceptable.

“The stigma is real and the stigma is deeply engrained in our society,” B said. “The effects of assault are prevalent for years, yet even my mom, despite how much I love her, would say just months after the rape ‘Aren't you over that yet?’ ” Part of me feels like a floodgate has opened. The horrendous stories being put out there by friends, acquaintances and total strangers are heartbreaking. But if we want it to stop, it can’t just keep being words on social media.

It has to be frank, candid conversations with our sons and daughters about what is acceptable behavior toward another person and how they should expect to be treated. It has to be not cutting someone out of our lives who has been a victim of one of these crimes just because we feel awkward and don’t know what to say.

It has to be friends standing up to friends when you see they are doing something wrong to someone else, whether you like or know them.

It has to be these and so many more changes that need to be made but won’t until we as national and global societies admit we have a problem.

wonderful neighbor, to have those types of weapons. We already restrict where you can carry a weapon. Passengers on airplanes cannot carry weapons.

Visitors to schools cannot carry guns. Professional sports venues do not allow spectators to carry weapons. When Charlie Daniels came to Powhatan a few years ago, no weapons of any kind were allowed, even small pocket knives. Sometimes, the greater good must sensibly take precedence.

So what should we do about assault weapons? It is true that most owners of these weapons are good people who would never intentionally harm anyone. It is also true that you don’t need this type of weapon to hunt. There is probably more likelihood that an unstable person will get their hands on a regular pistol or rifle than an assault rifle. So why should we be concerned or even consider changing the status quo? After all, the risk of a gun getting into the wrong hands is the price of the freedom to own guns. So let’s consider the differences between weapons. A typical pistol or rifle has a load capacity of between six to 18 bullets. An assault rifle or extended clips can carry hundreds before having to reload. It is the difference between someone hitting and injuring two to three people and mowing down hundreds, as was done in Vegas. It is the difference between going to an event and accepting a calculated risk something could happen and de-

ciding such large events are an attraction to someone with a high capacity weapon and not worth the risk. So we must decide as a nation, is the freedom to carry an assault rifle and extended clips, originally designed as weapons of war, worth the freedoms we have to give up to do so? Are we willing to give up any sense of safety when we go to large group gatherings? Are we willing to give up going to outdoor concerts? Are we willing to give up going to parades or fireworks displays? Should Macy’s cancel its Thanksgiving Day parade or Times Square on New Year’s Eve become a thing of the past? Do we have to worry about wine festivals and county fairs? We should be able to send our children to school with a reasonable expectation that they will return to us safely at the end of the day.

Some will say there is risk in anything you do. That is true. Every time you drive in a car, you could get into an accident. Again it is a calculated risk. However, if we said people have the right to drink alcohol and it should be their right to do so and drive if they want to, we increase that risk many times over. So what risk do you want to live with? How many freedoms are you willing to give up to protect one? Is the freedom to carry an assault weapon worth the freedoms we all must give up?

As a nation, this is what we must decide.

communicates with, has contact with, where they go. This can also be accomplished when the couple resides with or near the controlling partner’s support system and the other partner does not feel they have support.

There are many reasons we may choose to stay in a relationship despite violence. It is important to remember that every survivor has a reason – not an excuse – for staying and that these reasons are valid and real to the survivor while in the relationship. These may be emotional or practical reasons. Some reasons include fear of increasing violence or retaliation if they left or simply fear of the unknown outside of the relationship. Many survivors may feel embarrassment or shame for having experienced abuse and fear judgment from others. Some believe abuse is normal and may

never have seen what a healthy relationship looks like. Many survivors experience pressure from friends, family, or community to stay in the relationship and try to make it work. The most difficult reason for some friends or family to understand is that the survivor may choose to stay because they still love the partner despite the abuse. Some survivors who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) may fear being “outed” by their partner if they left. Similarly, anyone with a disability, mental health issue, legal status, or any secret may fear that it will be revealed by the controlling partner and they will be judged.

Some survivors also have a language barrier, which makes it even more difficult for them to communicate with potential supporters.

If we suspect or know someone who is experiencing violence, there are

things we can do. The most important thing we can do is listen and be supportive without judgment. Leaving a relationship is a process and it may take time. Knowing that there is a place to go or someone to talk to can make a world of difference to a survivor who likely feels alone and ashamed.

Indians honor seniors, fly past Lions, Warriors

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

A

t River City Sportsplex on Oct. 19, the Powhatan Indians field hockey team gathered before the game to honor their senior players.

What is unique about this group of seniors is that most of them are forever part of the bedrock of the Indians field hockey program.

When these seniors were freshman, the program was in its infancy, just starting out in the sport.

Just four years later, these players have seen the team grow in size, create a junior varsity team and go from an afterthought to a powerhouse in the area.

“We really have grown up together,” Indians head coach Steph Brooks said.

“I’ve learned so much from them. These kids are like family to me. It’s amazing to watch them grow up over the years. They

have improved over the years. Without them, we wouldn’t be where we are now.

We’re a force to be reckoned with. When teams played us the first year, they thought they could slaughter us. Then, the next year, we surprised some people. Last year, we had an awesome year. This year has been an awesome year. It says so much about these girls and how hard they have worked. Each year we’ve gotten better, we’ve added more wins and we really feel good about regionals this season.”

Powered by seven goals from six different players on Oct. 19 in a 7-0 win over Louisa and then followed by a 2-0 win over Western Albemarle to put an exclamation mark on the regular season, Powhatan will enter the region tournament as the No. 1 overall seed.

The Indians will have familiar foes such as Hanover and Midlothian in the regional field, but also some unfamiliar teams, such as schools from the Williamssee INDIANS, pg. 4B

Bearcats prove too much for Knights in 3-0 sweep

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Kate Hatfield sends a volley over the net against Banner Christian on Oct. 20.

The Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights girls volleyball team were able to come back from several deficits against the visiting Banner Christian Bearcats on a rare Friday evening game at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot on Oct. 20.

The Knights rallied and were able to tie the match several times over the course of three sets against the Bearcats.

But, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot just couldn’t find those extra few points or momentum to swing any of the sets its way and fell in straight sets to the Bearcats.

“We didn’t have our libero tonight,” Knights coach Janae Robinson said.

“When they lose her, they kind of have to fill this gap. Amy (Bonds) had to pull back and had to pass tonight. Our subs did the best they could and they did the best they could do. When we have our libero, it’s a totally different game.”

The Bearcats jumped out to a 5-2 lead in the first set, but two errors from Banner Christian and an ace from Annie Kelly of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot tied the set at five.

Anna Gestwick would tie the set again two points later at 6-6, but two consecutive unforced errors from the Knights let the Bearcats get out ahead.

While the Knights would tie the set after an ace from Bonds at 18-18, errors over five of the final seven points by see KNIGHTS, pg. 2B

Powhatan volleyball bounces back against Louisa

By Mike Schoeffel Contributing Writer

F

or Powhatan High School volleyball coach Amber Foos, maintaining consistency has been one of the points of focus this season.

The Indians entered last Thursday’s home match against Louisa having lost three of their last five, but looked perfectly consistent against the Lions, notching a relatively stress-free 3-0 victory behind 10 kills from junior Jordan Davis-Allen.

The win gave Powhatan (13-8) a twogame season sweep of the Lions.

Other standouts for Powhatan included senior Abby Nee (30 assists, 12 digs) and sophomore Sierra Ellison (13 digs).

Foos said getting off to a fast start in each set was the key to victory.

“I think we played well coming out of the gate this time,” said Foos. “We struggled with that the last time we played Louisa. I don’t know if it was because we were on the road or what, but the scores were much better this time around.”

The win was the Indians’ third in their last four matches, and they’ve now won six consecutive sets after blanking Charlottesville, 3-0, on Oct. 17. The Indians’ current two-game win streak is their longest since they won five consecutive matches from Sept. 19-28.

Foos said her team’s recent run “helps morale,” but stressed the importance of carrying that uptick in consistency into next week -- the final week of the regular season.

As Foos put it, “we’re consistent this week, but we go up and down...if we can take two wins next week, we’ll be in a good mindset

KNIGHTS Continued from pg. 1

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot ended the set in a 25-18 win for the Bearcats.

The errors reared their ugly heads once again in the second set as Banner Christian set sail early in the set, jumping out to a 15-5 lead in the middle of the set.

Points by Bonds, Gestwick and Kelly gained the Knights some momentum, but Banner Christian was able to snatch it away each time and take the second set easily by a score of 25-13.

Set three began well for the Knights as the led for the first time in the entire game through the first seven total points of the set.

A kill from Banner Christian tied the set at four, but the Knights capitalized on two errors by the Bearcats to take a 6-5 lead.

Later in the set, though, two Blessed Sacrament Huguenot errors gave the Bearcats a 10-8 lead.

heading into the postseason.”

The Indians had two final games prior to the playoffs, one against Fluvanna (a team they beat, 3-1, on Sept. 28) on Oct. 24 and an upcoming game against Monticello (a team they lost to, 3-0, on Oct. 3) on Oct. 26.

Foos said those two games will be a “big test for us,” adding that it remains to be seen whether the “wins over Charlottesville and Louisa will set us up for a good finish.”

The Indians, indeed, handled Louisa fairly easily on Thursday, winning all three sets outright 25-18, 25-8, and 2515. The one area which Foos found fault was the Indians’ finishing ability. Powhatan jumped out to big leads in each set (9-2 in the first, 9-2 in the second, and 14-4 in the third), but allowed the Lions to creep back to within striking distance in all but the second set.

Foos said closing the door has been a focal point all season, so much so that she’s even incorporated “mini-games,” as she put it, into her practices to stress the importance of finishing strong. She’s structured intrasquad scrimmages in such a way that one team has to score “two or three” points in a row to earn a single point. The goal, she said, is to “get them used to working twice or three times as hard.”

“I want to show them that if they can get two or three points in a row just to score one point in a scrimmage, then they can just as easily go on a run in an actual match and finish off their opponent, instead of leaving the door open,” said Foos.

Depending on how the final week of the regular season shakes out, Powhatan Bonds scored three straight aces later in the set to get the Knights on a roll and put the set at 19-17. But, Banner Christian would answer and go on a 6-3 run from that point on to take the set 25-20 and the match in three sets.

Bonds recorded eight aces, six digs and one kill for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, while Kelly had four blocks, three kills and two aces.

Robinson said that one problem the Knights encountered was their footwork.

“In the beginning of the season, I said (our biggest problem) was servereceive,” she said. “Now, it’s moving our feet. I told them they have cement blocks on their feet, they don’t know how to move them.”

Despite the loss, Robinson said that the team has been progressing as the season has moved on.

“Their hitting has definitely progressed,” she said. “We’re a great blocking team. Even though we’re falling short and losing, the opposing

will likely earn the fifth or sixth seed in the Class 4A, Region B tournament. If that’s how it pans out, they’ll nearly miss the first-round bye enjoyed by the top four seeds, according to Foos.

Interestingly enough, the coach said she’d almost prefer the sixth seed over the fifth. Why? Because if the Indians are seeded fifth, they may be paired with potential fourth-seed Midlothian in the second round, a match Foos said could “make or break the season.”

If Powhatan is seeded sixth, however, they’ll play the third seed in the second round, which could be Courtland, a team Foos believes is a better match for the Indians. In that scenario, Powhatan wouldn’t have to face local juggernauts Midlothian (16-5) and Hanover (14-1) until later in the tournament.

“But you can only take it one game at a time,” said Foos. “We’ll play whoever is put in front of us and do whatever we can to keep moving on.”

coaches always tell the girls ‘you guys are great blockers.’ But, that doesn’t help us win. So, they take that and they use it.”

Roundup: Powhatan cheerleaders win district title Sports Editor

Powhatan’s cheerleading squad took home the Jefferson District title on Oct. 18 in the competition hosted by the Indians at Powhatan High School.

The Indians won the cheerleading title with a score of 232, just two points better than secondplace Louisa.

The Indians scored 81, 78.5, 78, 76.5 and 75 from the five judges in the competition, with just one technical deduction.

The Lions and Indians had an identical sub-total of 233, but Louisa suffered from three technical deductions, paving the way for Powhatan’s title.

Examples of deductions, according to the U.S. All-Star Federation, are things such as athlete bobbles, athlete falls, building bobbles, building falls, safety violations, time limit violations and boundary violations.

Fluvanna came in third with 202 points, followed

by Monticello, Orange and Charlottesville.

FOOTBALL Powhatan hit the road after coach Jim Woodson’s historic 275th win over Fluvanna to take on Monticello on Oct. 20.

The game did not result in win number 276 for Woodson.

The Mustangs powered past Powhatan as they started the game on a 21-0 unanswered run to gap the Indians 49-7.

Noah Dowdy hit Brendan McMullin for a 64yard touchdown pass in the second quarter for Powhatan’s only touchdown of the game.

Powhatan’s Jacob Taylor rushed 21 times for 78 yards on the night. Dowdy threw for 175 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

All but one of Monticello’s touchdowns came due to a big play.

The Mustangs scored from 62 yards, 47 yards, 54 yards, 56 yards twice and 50 yards. The only non-explosive play that resulted in points was the opening six-yard run.

Powhatan returns home on Oct. 27 for senior night against Albemarle in the final regular season contest at home for the 2017 season.

The Powhatan home football game on Oct. 27 will be a Pink Out game.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, fans are asked to wear pink to the stadium for the game against the Patriots.

There will be donation buckets close to the stadium on that night, with all proceeds going to the American Cancer Society.

Manes recently named Youth Ambassador of Goodwill Contributed Report

P

owhatan High School’s Garrett Manes was recently announced as a Youth Ambassador of Goodwill to champion a cause for The Stars Foundation.

Manes at 16 years old is the youngest Youth Ambassador of Goodwill to be named in the program’s history.

The Virginia-born racer is a rising star in auto racing, and currently holds over 300 wins in various forms of racing.

What is quite remarkable about this charismatic young man is that he conquers more challenges than most of his competition on the racetrack.

Manes was diagnosed at age 3 as being on the spectrum of autism.

He uses InLight Medical LED light therapy to empower his body and mind to focus on his driving.

The Stars Foundation’s Lights 4 Life campaign is launching with Manes and the InLight Medical LED Lights program to bring the health wellness systems to Third World countries for the improvement of overall health and wound healing to the sick.

The cause partnership with The Stars Foundation and Manes will be a longterm relationship as he moves forward in his racing career, while sponsorship partners will support the campaign and his car.

The strategic objective of the Lights 4 Life campaign is to place the InLight Medical Systems initially in 25 orphanages and 50 medical clinics in Liberia as the first impoverish country embracing the new technology of LED Light Therapy.

The Stars Foundation is very delighted to welcome Garrett Manes to its elite board of Ambassadors of Goodwill, which include Nashville Star winner, Buddy Jewell, Brad Maule (General Hospital) and NASCAR legends Geoff Bodine and Donnie Allison, among others.

Bodine scored 18 wins in the top level of NASCAR competition.

Allison is a member of the International Motorsports Hall of Fame and was a member of the legendary “Alabama Gang.� He won 10 times on the NASCAR Grand National/Winston Cup circuit. “Garrett exemplifies the virtues of courage, compassion, leadership, and integrity that are invaluable character assets that we admire in him,� Cheryl Robeson Piggott, CEO of The Stars Foundation said. “Garrett will also be representing us as a spokesperson for our flagship day, World Orphans Day, which is the second Monday in November each year. He has a tremendous, generous heart and loves to help children and youth.� “I love racing and I love helping kids,�

Manes said. “Teaming up with the Stars Foundation is an honor and it gives me the opportunity to help others in need through my racing. There is nothing like racing and doing the best you can, then going to spend time with the fans or going to help others in need. To see the smiles on their faces, it’s truly an amazing feeling, it can’t be put into words. It just feels awesome.

for different charities and kids in need. “Signing on with Race Face Brand Development last week and all my partners, CBD Living Water, Pearson Mazda, InLight Medical and SRI has allowed me the opportunity to make a difference and to help support The Stars Foundation’s Lights 4 Life campaign. With so much sadness in the world today, why don’t we

After Thomas scored the second goal of the game, Hanna Hathaway and Calie Rehme each added a goal in quick succession to make it 4-0.

Thomas started the second half off with the score to make it 5-0, followed by Danielle Bigham and senior Kylee Maiolo rounding out the scoring with a goal apiece for a 7-0 final. “Being a senior on this team means the world,�

Maiolo said. “Being a part of this type of family and organization for the past three years has been amazing. I can’t thank my teammates and my coaches, past and future teammates enough for the person that I have become today.�

In the final regular season game on Oct. 20, which was rescheduled to that day because of weather, the Indians hosted Western Albemarle and took down the Warriors 2-0.

The two wins were a comeback after falling on Oct. 17 in overtime on the road at Charlottesville. “That was a tough

game,� Brooks said. “I felt like we dominated that game, but we just couldn’t score.�

Michala Taylor scored both goals for Powhatan.

The family atmosphere that Maiolo, Thomas and Bryant described was echoed across the board by the rest of the seniors as they reflected on what it meant to them to be a senior on the Indians field hockey squad. “I love this team so much,� right back Katie Corbitt said. “Tonight was just so amazing, to have this game so together. It was just awesome.� “I really enjoy it, because I’ve never been on a team that has been so focused and motivated toward one goal,� Reagan Thomas said. “I think that’s something that is really important.�

Senior Kayla Hathaway said she didn’t even know what field hockey was until Brooks introduced her to the sport. “(Brooks) has coached me and everything I know is from her,� Hathaway said. “It means everything to me. All of my friends for life are on this team. It’s crazy important to me.�

Senior left back Audrey Parks also was a stranger to field hockey until Brooks brought her into the fold. “It means everything,�

she said. “This team has become a family and to know that Coach Brooks has coached me from when I didn’t even know anything about the sport to becoming a captain on this team and starting on the defensive line‌it’s great.

I’ve never been on a team this close.�

Goalie Gatlin Snyder, who has been the anchor of the unflinching Indians defense this season, said that field hockey has been her “entire life.� “I’m everything I am now because of this team and Brooks,� she said. “They’ve all become like my second family.�

The post-Powhatan plans for the Indians seniors vary. Snyder said that she will be playing collegiately at RandolphMacon and be studying journalism.

Most of the Indians seniors, such as Hathaway, Corbitt, Parks, Maiolo and Bryant want to enter the medicinal field. Hathway said she wants to study veterinary medicine, while the others plan to enter the nursing field.

Reagan Thomas said that she plans to study computer science, while Ella Thomas said she is undecided.

Powhatan’s first region game and opponent were to be determined as of this edition’s print deadline.
