Board honors rescue workers Responders to one of county’s worst ever traffic accidents praised for bravery

Editor

By Emily Darrell

The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors took time during last Monday’s meeting to thank those who responded in March to what has been described as one of the worst traffic disasters in the county’s history.

Powhatan Fire Chief Rick Bucher read a proclamation honoring the fire, rescue and law enforcement teams who responded in the early morning hours of March 27 after a dump truck reportedly crossed the center line and collided with a logging truck just west of the intersection of Bell Road and Route 60.

Once on the scene, responders were confronted with a horrific scene, including vehicles engulfed in flames, and a path ahead chocked with logs and other debris. According to the proclamation, rescue workers were only able to locate the first victim “by following the sound of his screams.”

The responders “saved lives and preserved the sanctity of the deceased,” Bucher continued, and their dedication and professionalism is something all of Powhatan can be proud of.

The proclamation was issued directly after the board had recognized all county fire and rescue personnel for their service, in conjunction with Volunteer Week.

pit County pit bull enthusiasts say dogs don’t deserve reputation as dangerous animals

Chris and Nicole Jones, a young Powhatan couple, have known since they were first married that they’d like to get a pit bull.

Several of their relatives own pits and they’d always thought of them as good and obedient dogs and, contrary to public perception, as dogs that are particularly good with children.

“They do have a bad rap,” Nicole said, “but they’re awesome dogs.

They’re super obedient. They’re gentle with kids.

And they’re very smart.”

On Saturday the Joneses and their 6month old pit bull, Jax, joined several other area pit owners outside Tractor Supply for a training class provided by see Dogs page 3A

A third break-in was reported Tuesday morning at a trailer on a construction site on Old Church Road.

Four power tools were taken.

COMMUNITY BRIEFS

QU OT E S “It’s really sad that the Michael Vicks of this world have presented [pit bulls] as these fighting, vicious dogs.”

First stargazing event at Belmead set for April 28 Ever wanted to learn more about the stars glittering over Powhatan on a clear, warm spring evening? Thanks to a partnership between Belmead’s Thomas Berry Education Center and the Richmond Astronomical Society, residents will get that chance.

The Star Club, which will hold a stargazing event on April 28, is an effort by Powhatan’s FrancisEmma Inc. to bring the night sky to life for those with a passion for — or simply a curiosity about — astronomy.

The stargazing session will begin at 7 p.m. at Belmead in Powhatan (5004 Cartersville Road) and participants are encouraged to bring their own binoculars and telescopes if they have them.

To register to become a Star Club member, please visit www.francisemma.org.

The suggested donation for membership is $20.

The Thomas Berry Education Center, located at Belmead, was created in part, according to its web site, “to provide a place at Belmead on the James where quality programs of ecojustice and social justice are conducted for interested persons.”

Upcoming seminars are expected to include lectures on the sun, black holes, and the Milky Way.

“They found the first victim by following the sound of his screams.”

Younce wins photo contest

ÂŽ

By Roslyn Ryan Editor

When a group of raccoons began investigating Sharon Younce’s front porch in search of food, her first inclination was to shoot them—with her digital camera.

Now, thanks to one of the many photos she snapped of the visitors, Younce has been named the winner of the county library’s 2012 My Powhatan photo contest.

The winning image (right), entitled Peekaboo, features a young raccoon looking around a corner of Younce’s porch.

Younce, who captured the shot with a telephoto lens from “a good bit away�, said the star of the photo was one of several babies who had come up to the house with its mother to enjoy a bit of the cat food Younce typically leaves out for her pets. “I happened to be outside, and I just snuck around and snapped a few photos,� said Younce, a professional photographer since 2000 and the owner of Powhatan’s Artful Images.

Younce says she decided to enter the photo because she felt it represented a side of the county—it’s rural, untamed side— that so many people cherish. “We have a lot of wildlife out here, but one day we might not have it� she says.

As for the particulars of the photo, Younce says it was something of a lucky shot.

The raccoons “don’t usually bring the babies around,� she said, “but happened to catch them that day. They were feeling brave I guess.�

Hey Eddie, I’m replacing the exhaust manifold on my ’03 Mitsubishi Eclipse with a high performance one. My problem is the old manifold has a sensor in it and the new manifold has no place to put the sensor in.

Do I really need the sensor? Will the car run okay without it installed?

Roger Roger, The sensor you are talking about is the oxygen sensor. The oxygen sensor is extremely important. As its name states, it measures oxygen in the exhaust system and sends the information to the computer.

The computer then adjusts the fuel mixture from rich to lean. Without the oxygen sensor you can expect your check engine light to be on, erratic idle, very poor running, and your catalytic converter will very soon be damaged. Roger, I would return the manifold and replace it with the correct one. You should be able to find a high performance exhaust manifold with an oxygen sensor port made in it for about the same price.

Hey Eddie, I have a 2005 Ford Windstar with 76,000 miles. The engine is running way too rich—to the point where black smoke is coming out of the exhaust. I’ve change the O2 sensors, the map sensor, EGR valve, and temperature sensor. I’ve also changed the fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs. The engine misses at idle but runs okay when I press the gas pedal. However, there is a trail of black smoke coming out of the exhaust like a diesel truck. Do you think it might be a fuel injector problem.

Tom, It sounds like you’ve been busy. That’s a lot of parts to change out. I would check the fuel pressure regulator before I changed anything else. Start by pulling the vacuum line off of the fuel pressure regulator and see if there is any fuel in the vacuum line. If there is, replace the fuel regulator. If no fuel is present in the vacuum line, run a fuel pressure test. If you find readings over 45 p.s.i., replace the fuel regulator. I’m betting you will find one of these problems. Either will result in the same fix, replacing the fuel regulator.

Hey Eddie, I’m having a problem with the air conditioning on my 1999 Jeep Cherokee.

The A/C works great for the first 8 - 10.

Afterwards, it just blows warm air. If I cut the A/C off for 10-15 minutes and then cut it back on it does the same thing, cold air for 8 - 10 minutes, then warm air again.

Jena Powhatan

Jena, You should have your air conditioning system checked by a qualified service center.

The problem you’re having could be as simple as a bad low pressure cycling switch or a more expensive expansion valve to an even more expensive air conditioning clutch or compressor. The good news is because Jeep had some trouble with their low pressure cycling switches, they now have an updated replacement part. Your chances for a less expensive repair are a little better.

powhatan a monthly look at

what’s on your table

PHOTOS BYPATRICK DOBBS

Sara Atkinson, right, with son Jake, says one of her main goals is to make guests at The Grill at Waterford feel comfortable.

Right at home For Powhatan resident Sara Atkinson, food and family have always gone hand in hand

By Michael Schoeffel Contributing Writer

T

he Grill at Waterford, which is located at Waterford Place in Midlothian, is described on its website as an “American Fare Restaurant with a Southern, Home-

Cooked Attitude.”

But for owner Sara Atkinson, a Powhatan resident, making diners feel like family is every bit as important as the food she serves.

Atkinson, a restaurant industry veteran, does everything in her power to make The Grill a home away from

home for her customers. She knows many of them by name, and has even taken it upon herself to memorize certain details of their personal lives in addition to their usual menu selections.

“She knows about their dogs, their cats,” explained her son Jake, one of The

Grill’s main chefs. “She knows every little detail.”

“I do try to get to know the customers,” Sara agreed. “I’ve got this one customer who I will not let eat biscuits and gravy, because he’s not suppose to have sodium. I’ve told everybody ‘Don’t serve him biscuits and gravy until he gets a good report from his doctor!’”

That’s just one example of Atkinson going beyond the expected duties of a restaurant owner. Another story involves a customer (who has since become a regular) with a specific aversion to Texas Pete Hot Sauce - the only type of hot sauce served at The Grill. Instead of informing the customer that he was out of luck, Atkinson made a special trip to the local Food Lion and purchased a bottle of Tabasco.

It now sits behind the bar with the customer’s name taped across the front.

Atkinson likes to keep it in the family – or, at least, within her circle of friends and acquaintances – when deciding who to hire. Her youngest son Jake has worked at The Grill since its doors opened in 2008.

He’s held nearly every position, from waiter to dishwasher to line cook, and is currently one of the Grill’s main chefs.

His girlfriend, Ava Bakhtiar, joined the crew as a waitress in 2009. Heather Goad, the girlfriend of Atkinson’s oldest

son Matt (who helps with the business side of the restaurant and is currently finishing his MBA at VCU), is also a waitress.

“It’s kind of become a little family here,” she said. “I worry about my employees. I try to make them go back to school, try to keep them on the straight and narrow.”

Before opening The Grill in 2008, Atkinson worked as a server at The County Seat in Powhatan for about a decade.

But when her husband passed away, she realized that she was going to have to find another way to support herself.

When a long-time friend (whose son, Colin, bartends) turned her on to a possible opportunity at Waterford Place, Atkinson capitalized on it.

Despite the fact that the economy tanked as soon as Atkinson signed the lease, The Grill has been able to thrive as a neighborhood favorite. Long lines sometimes stretch out onto the sidewalk on weekend nights and Sunday mornings.

It has been financially difficult at times, Atkinson admits, but she’s never had any illusions about becoming rich, anyway. She merely wants to make a living, and provide people with a place where they can enjoy a good meal and engage in friendly conversation.

“I hope not many people go out of here unhappy,” she said with a warm smile.

‘Tornado chaser’ visits high school Tim Samaras, star of Discover Channel’s Storm Chasers, has followed ‘violent’ storms for 20 years

By Emily Darrell Staff Writer

Usually, when you hear someone use the word “violent,” it’s understood to be a bad thing.

But when Tim Samaras uses the word “violent” before the word “tornado,” it’s as though he’s paying the storm a compliment.

Samaras, one of the stars of Discovery Channel’s Storm Chasers, came to Powhatan High School earlier this month to give a talk on two of his favorite weather phenomenon: tornadoes and lightning.

After seeing the Wizard of Oz at the age of six – and being more enthralled by the tornado than any other part of the film – Samaras became a devotee of all things meteorological, finding himself particularly drawn to weather in its most dramatic forms.

As he shows the audience footage he and his crew shot at a tornado in Bowdle, South Dakota in 2010, Samaras declares: “This is a violent tornado – violent!”

The storm does indeed look violent. Gasps could be heard around the auditorium as, on the

Powhatan

screen, a mass of gray clouds picks up a telephone pole and snaps it, the way you or I might a toothpick.

Samaras has been chasing storms for more than 20 years and, not surprisingly, his preferred stalking grounds are far from Powhatan, in the middle swath of the U.S. known as “tornado alley.”

Still, Samaras said: “There is no state [in the U.S.] that is safe from tornadoes, except for maybe Alaska.”

He then corrected himself, recalling a time that he did in fact see a tornado – albeit a small one – in Alaska.

Early in his presentation Samaras explained the factors that make tornado alley so prone to the storms. These factors include a strong jet stream that blows eastward from the West Coast and cold, dry air from the Rocky Mountain region that collides with warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico.

In fact, Samaras said, the United States as a whole sees far, far more tornadoes than any other country, which makes the storms almost an almost uniquely American phenomenon.

Each year Samaras and his crew put more than 40,000 miles on their vehicles, driving from South Dakota, to Alabama, to everywhere in between.

Around 10 years ago Samaras developed a specially-designed

Great opportunity to learn more about our small local businesses and business owners in Powhatan!

probe that is equipped with seven video cameras. He leaves this probe near where he thinks a tornado might touch down, allowing him to actually get video footage from inside a tornado. In fact, Samaras holds a Guinness World Record for being the only person ever to have accomplished this.

Samaras hopes the footage he takes, and the measurements that he and his crew obtain from this footage, will help scientists better understand these deadly storms.

Samaras believes that the more we can learn about tornadoes and the better we understand them, the better we can prepare for them, and, hopefully, save lives.

Still, it’s clear that, for Samaras, chasing storms is also just plain fun.

In one clip that Samaras shows, he and his crew are caught in a hail storm near Campo, Colo. After being hit in the head by a hailstone – and with blood streaming down the side of his face – Samaras grins at the camera, as though he is having the time of his life.

“What originally drew me to chasing tornadoes,” Samaras said, “was the awe and beauty of Mother Nature herself.”

Samaras’ talk was made possible by the JASON project, a nationwide program –of which Powhatan is part – that connects students with real scientists and researchers, and encourages them to consider careers in science, technology, and engineering.

Ghosts: Hunting is tough Continued from page 2A

video cameras, flashilights (both for communing with spirits and finding one’s way in the dark), electromagnetic frequency detectors, thermometers, and digital voice recorders, which, supposedly, can pick up sounds that you don’t hear in person, and which are known in ghost hunting parlance as “EVPs.” Before breaking into smaller groups – one led

by Pam and the other by Wanda – we’re shown how to use the equipment. We’re also given an hour-long tour of the facility by a guide named Josh, who, despite my cajoling, insists that he truly believes that the building is haunted and promises that all the stories he’s told are the honest-to-goodness truth.

According to Josh, the third floor is inhabited by the spirit of a little boy named Timmy, who likes to roll a ball across the floor. (Balls are left on this floor for that purpose. The cynical reporter must note that the every window in the fivestory, 180,000 sq. ft. building has been broken out and that there’s quite a bit of cross-ventilation.)

Josh shows us where the cafeteria once was and says that visitors often smell (phantom) bread, bacon, or peanut butter cookies. (The cynical reporter must admit that she did smell peanut butter cookies after he said this, though wonders if it might not be the power of psychological suggestion.)

After the tour we’re allowed free roam of the building until 4 a.m. We set up flashlights, video cameras, recorders. We wait for Timmy to come out and roll the ball. We try to determine if the noises we’re hearing are paranormal or if they’re just the sound of the bats, raccoons, or other creatures that have made the dilapidated building their home.

We get cold, tired. We take snack and bathroom breaks in the gift shop/break room/former laundry room.

Ghost hunting, it seems, is long and grueling work.

In Pam Townsend’s case, the evening is a bit of a letdown. She says she’s had much more fruitful experiences without leaving Powhatan.

However, she says, much of the best evidence often turns up later, in the form of EVPs. For whatever reason, Wanda’s group seems to get plenty of activity. Flashlights go on and off left and right. One of Pam’s co-workers, a nurse named Tracey, feels a cold hand clasp hers in the body chute at the same time she’s hit with an awful smell “like the smell of a patient who hasn’t had a bath in a long time.”

At some point Pam, Wanda, and Amanda will get together and comb through their data, determining what to count and what to discount. The good, they’ll post to their website, alongside footage from private homes, cemeteries, the Trans-Alleghany Lunatic Asylum, and other famously spooky places. The bad, they’ll toss.

“If there’s a piece of evidence and we don’t all agree on it, we don’t use it,” Wanda says.

It has always been absolutely unintentional—I have never harbored a grudge against any plant life that I can recall—but the evidence remains: I am not a born gardener.

So how to explain, then, the overwhelming urge I had this spring to see if I could actually plant a garden?

I’m not exactly sure, but this urge was the reason I found myself standing on our deck last week, peering into a small pot of dirt.

There, barely visible, was the top of a tiny green pea plant.

Lending a helping hand: A kid’s guide to service

By Andrew McCullough, age 13 Powhatan resident

I

’m really lucky to live in Powhatan. It’s such a friendly, beautiful place, and it’s quite a closeknit county, in which the community eagerly volunteers to help anyone in need. But what many of us may not appreciate is that much of the beauty we see, and many of the programs we participate in, are made possible by volunteers - people who give freely and don’t expect anything in return.

Even kids enjoy participating in service projects. But what good can they do? What benefits do they get from volunteering? How can they even participate?

The community benefits in multiple ways when a volunteer steps up and assists with a cause. In some cases, it becomes more beautiful because of a volunteer’s service: planting flowers, decorating county buildings, or protecting certain patches of undeveloped land.

Other times, the members of the community become better educated on a certain subject, like a local Master Gardeners project that labeled all of the native vegetation at Fighting Creek Park. Perhaps one of the noblest examples of volunteering is that of the Powhatan Rescue Squad: a huge volunteer effort making the county safer.

However, the community is not the only one to gain something from a dedicated junior volunteer. The volunteer also grows.

Many schools require service in the community as part of their admissions process or curriculum, since the student learns many valuable lessons in organization, teamwork, and work ethics - especially if they play a key role in the service program. Kids also become better connected to other communally active citizens. Lastly, the “seed of volunteering” is sown into the child, as they realize what a difference their efforts can make.

Kids can be particularly well suited to volunteering, because of their special view of the world and a clear sense of justice and compassion. When they hear of a problem, they work very hard to set things right. They also think more creatively about the many ways to

address a problem. Take the example of Olivia Bouler, an eleven-year-old with a love of birds and a knack for drawing. Olivia, concerned about the effect of the Deepwater-Horizon oil spill on sea-faring wildlife, drew and sold sketches of birds to raise money for the Audubon Society’s effort towards cleaning up the Gulf. Raising more than $70,000 dollars, Olivia’s story is an inspiration for anyone who wants to make a difference in their community, their nation, or their world. Many children’s organizations are making a difference, too: Boy Scouts, 4H, and junior YMCA programs are all dedicated to service in their members’ communities. Even Powhatan County Public Schools are chipping in with Pennies for Patients, the Relay for Life, Canned Food Drives and even independent, student-driven projects. Middle-schooler Monica Plumb (see www.petmask.com) raised more than $30,000 dollars towards masks that firefighters across the U.S. and Canada could use to resuscitate animals and pets rescued from a fire.

There are many ways for a young volunteer to participate, but it’s important to make an educated decision about where to give your time; after all, this could be one of the largest commitments throughout your period of service. Here are a couple factors to consider before making a choice…

• Interest: Is it a cause that you are committed to?

• Involvement: How much time will it require of you to do a good job?

• Impact: How much will it affect or benefit your community?

• Assistance: How much support will it require from your parents or other chaperones, guardians, and supporters?

Keep these in mind as you look through the programs below to find the opportunity that suits you best.

• Boy Scouts of America Boy Scouts (and Cub Scouts) are a nationwide charity organization centered on teamwork, independence, responsibility, and woodsmanship, targeted at boys from 6 to 17.

The Boy Scouts are a great way to go if you enjoy the outdoors, sports, and team games and drills. Go to www.beascout.scouting.org and type in “23139” to find the troop that fits you. see Service page 11A P.O. Box 10 Powhatan, Va. 23139 Phone: 804-598-4305 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-598-7757

far removed from my last science class, a certain sense of awe there. I don’t want to veer into sermon here, to talk about the miracle of life and the incredible, intricate beauty of how nature works, and keeps working, as it has for millions and millions of years.

But there was something in seeing that tiny shoot—and the little pepper plants and basil leaves that have cropped up since—that offered a glimpse into why so many people I know have devoted so much time and energy and sweat to their own gardens. There is a joy there, and sense of accomplishment. And perhaps, for someone who has never experienced the joy of growing something on their own, a new leaf just waiting to be turned over.

What’s so scary about an ultrasound?

By Jeanne Monahan Director of the Center for Human Dignity

Over the last few months much misinformation has been spread about legislation offering women the opportunity to view an ultrasound image of their child prior to abortion.

To be clear, these laws are not uncommon. According to the Guttmacher Institute, 20 states currently have a law either requiring doctors to perform ultrasounds or to offer to show the results to women if ultrasounds are performed.

And in 2010, 21 states introduced ultrasound informed consent bills.

But it was Virginia ‘s law, enacted in February, 2012, that took the national stage. And while each ultrasound law is unique, there was little in substance or content that distinguished Virginia ‘s law from the many other similar state laws. What was new, however, were the rhetorical scare tactics employed by those advocating an abortion ideology, namely the invocation of the term “rape.”

Opponents of this bill erroneously equated a transvaginal ultrasound with a “second rape” and in doing so successfully frightened many legislators. The reality is that the language “transvaginal ultrasound” was never included in the bill either in its initial form or in the later, amended form ultimately signed into law. Rather, the bill called for a woman to receive the “standard of care” as defined by the medical community.

Not unimportantly, a

general practice by any medical practitioner is never to force a woman to have a transvaginal ultrasound (or any procedure) if she does not want it. In this case, the physician simply makes a note of the interaction to assure his attempt to provide medically accurate information and then provides an abdominal ultrasound.

The recent Virginia ultrasound law included this language and nothing more.

But none of this information was provided to the public during the erroneous claims made about Virginia ‘s abortion bill.

Ultrasound laws protect women in a number of ways. For a woman seeking abortion, the ultrasound will determine the viability of the baby. According to the National Institute of Health between 15-20 percent of women who know they are pregnant will miscarry (for those not yet aware that they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is much higher at 50 percent).

Many pregnancies are therefore “non-viable” - but are aborted when the mother would have naturally miscarried. Ultrasound confirms viability, or in some cases, confirms that the baby is not viable. Additionally, ultrasounds rule out the deadly possibility of an ectopic pregnancy (an abnormal pregnancy outside of the uterus), critical before a woman undergoes a chemical abortion. Additionally of note, but not well publicized, is that most abortion clinics currently provide ultrasounds as the standard of care. However, what they do not offer the see Bill page 11A

Service: So many ways to help Continued from page 10A

• Girl Scouts of America Girl Scouts is similar to Boy Scouts, but focused more heavily on arts and crafts, nature and survival skills, teamwork, and other skills. All programs (Daisies, Brownies, Junior Girl Scouts, Cadet Girl Scouts, and Senior Girl Scouts) range from age 6 to 17 (though adults can continue assisting after graduating from the program). To learn more, go to www. girlscouts.org and sign up.

• 4H All 4H clubs incorporate an element of service as they engage in activities that revolve around animals, agriculture, and nature. Available for children ages 5 through 18 (though ages vary from club to club). Go to www.tinyurl.com/powhatan4-H to learn more.

• Science Museum of Virginia The Science Museum of Virginia is bursting with opportunities for young volunteers. Positions as Junior Curators, Sales Assistants, IMAX Ushers, and more are all available to kids 14 and up. To sign up, go to www.smv.org/volunteer.html.

• Puppy Raiser for the Blind Do you love dogs and want to help? The Guiding Eyes runs the Puppy Raiser program, and allows you to raise nine-week-old soon-to-be-seeing-eye dogs.

To learn more, go to www.guidingeyes.org or www. gebrichmond.com.

• Horses in Service Horses in Service focuses on disabled children, adults, and seniors and helps them along during the process of recovery. This better suits teens (because of strength and knowledge) but is a good way to help in your community no matter your age. You can go to www.horsesinservice.org to learn more.

• Virginia Master Naturalists If you love nature of any kind, this is the program for you! The minimum age of Master Naturalists is 14, but our local chapter would love to help a volunteer start a Junior Master Naturalist Chapter for kids younger than 14.

• Powhatan Food Pantry The Powhatan Coalition of Churches runs the Powhatan Food Pantry (and several other community programs), so if you enjoy helping a humanitarian cause, than this program could be the one for you.

You can get in touch with Patsy Goodwyn [the head of the Pantry] at 598-4464 or go to www.coalitionofpowhatanchurches.com/foodpantry.htm to sign up.

• Powhatan YMCA Team Leadership Club The YMCA Team Leadership Club focuses on developing the leadership skills of teens. To learn more about the program, you can pick up a packet at the local YMCA branch.

Remember, there are many ways to help in the community. Walking a neighbor’s dog, taking in a stray, or helping someone with their groceries are all ways to serve. However, when you find a valuable cause to which you are dedicated and about which you are passionate, you can change your community, your nation, and the world. Whether it be a monetary donation or actual participation within a service group, supporting a volunteer program is beneficial to the community. So, how will you lend a helping hand?

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Bill: All agree on one thing woman is the opportunity to view her developing baby.

In my position working in pro-life public policy, I meet many women who tell me they wish they had not chosen to terminate their baby. And most ultrasound laws (including Virginia ‘s) offer an “opt out,” ensuring that the woman is free to not view the ultrasound.

Perhaps what is most “scary” about an ultrasound is that it brings to light the reality of the developing life in the womb

and in doing so, frequently convinces the parents to choose life. Why is that considered a bad thing?

People on both side of the abortion issue agree that we need to decrease the number of abortions.

Conservatives often are wrongly accused of being anti-science and anti-technology, and yet ultrasound laws make use of the latest technology to assure the viability, age and health of the baby.

Yes, they bring to light the fact that a very young baby is not a lifeless blob of tissue. What’s so scary about that?

Brice Fritts, new BSH head football coach

Fritts tackles new role at BSH Assistant coach selected to replace Henderson as Knights’ next leader

By Richard Carrier Contributing Writer

One of the most difficult assignments for any coach is trying to replace a legend.

It could be argued that Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s new head football coach, Brice Fritts, is in exactly that unenviable position.

The legacy of his predecessor, departing coach Mike Henderson – building the Knights’ program from 0-10 to five Virginia Independent Schools state championships, including the last three in a row, and seven state championship game appearances in 15 seasons – would seem to

qualify for “legendary” status.

Aware of that reality, Fritts enters his new position with both eyes wide open.

“He was the guy that brought this program back to prominence and is one of the greatest coaches I’ve ever been around, and I’ve been coached by NFL players,” he

Twice as nice

said.

“You never want to be the guy who replaces ‘The Guy.’ You’re much better off being the guy who replaces the guy who replaced ‘The Guy.’” Fritts, however, comes with impressive credentials

of his own. An alldistrict, all-region and all-metro offensive lineman for Douglas Freeman High School, Fritts went on to play on two national championship squads at Robert Morris University.

He earned his Masters Degree in Engineering Management while at Robert Morris, then returned to the Richmond area in 2005 and immediately contacted Henderson, who had coached him for two years at Freeman.

Henderson was quick to find room for him on the Knights coaching staff.

Fritts joined the BSH faculty the following year.

It is this 7 1/2 years of association with Henderson, as well as his understanding of the tenets of the BSH football program, that make Fritts considerably more positive about his future than most rookie head coaches.

“Anybody who has put on the helmet [during the emergence of the program into a state powerhouse] doesn’t know BSH football without Mike Henderson,” Fritts said.

“But they don’t know BSH football without Brice Fritts either. I’ve been a continuous part of the whole thing.

“In my time here, I’ve learned Mike’s philosophy of structure

and discipline and embraced his beliefs.

That philosophy and those beliefs will continue.”

Fritts also will try to emulate the rapport Henderson had with his players, but believes he will bring a more enthusiastic attitude to the sidelines. In addition, he admits he can and will inject more “risk taking” into the program.

“I was always the bug in Mike’s ear to try different things,” he said. “We were always pretty one-dimensional because we could be, and win. We had big, strong, physical backs running behind great offensive lines.”

Fritts, who plans to install a West Coaststyle offense, was quick to point out that a change in the Knights’ offensive philosophy will be dictated by the personnel of the 2012 roster.

“Even before Mike knew he was leaving, we had discussed a more wide-open offense for this season. We do not have the big between-the-tackles backs; we have talented backs, but not the strong ones we’ve had in the past, nor do we have those big guys up front.

“Our biggest strength will be our wide receivers. This group is the best that I’ve seen at BSH, if not the best ever here,” he added. “We‘ll

be more balanced and getting these guys the ball in space will be a lot of our running attack.”

One thing that won’t change even after the transition at the top of the coaching staff?

“Our goals will always be the same: to compete for state championships,” Fritts said.

“Yes, there will be some pressure; pressure to win. And we will face some adversity. But what we cannot do, as a school and as a program, is to keep looking to the past. We just have to move on.”

One of Fritts’ first tasks as BSH head coach is hiring a replacement for defensive coordinator Blake Derby, who will be moving to Freeman with Henderson. Already interviewing, Fritts is committed to landing the “best available” coach, be it an offensively or defensively skilled candidate.

“By nature, I’m offensively minded and would like to be calling the plays, but if we find a candidate with very strong offensive skills I’ll take over the defense, which I’ve done before. I’ll do whatever is necessary,” he said.

Fritts, who teaches Conceptual Physics at BSH, and his wife Melissa have two children: Leanna, eight years old and Ava, 20 months.

Goodman leads PJHS girls to victory

By Jim McConnell Sports Editor

Julia Goodman turned the track at Powhatan High School into her personal playground during a recent middle school meet against Park View and Russell.

The ponytailed Powhatan Junior High School eighth-grader put on a dominant display, winning five of 10 individual events as PJHS outdistanced Park View by seven points and Russell by 21.

Goodman was equally effective in both the jumps and running events. She got started by winning the long jump with a top effort of 15-8 – a full eight inches better than runner-up Brooke Stith of Russell, then tied for first in the high jump at 4-6 with Park View’s Rosalyn Hawthorne.

Goodman also won the 55-meter hurdles, clocking in at 10.19 to beat the Park View trio of Reality Boutte (10.60), Tiera Alexander (10.72) and Rhianna Rainey (10.75).

She also took first place in the 400 with a time of 1:03.78 -- nearly four seconds ahead of teammate Casey Fanz (1:07.62) -- then finished off her spectacular performance by nipping Russell’s Shakaya Bowser at the stripe to win the 200.

Powhatan’s Julia Goodman motors toward the finish line on her way to a comfortable victory in the 400 meters.

Fanz won the 800 (2:57) and was runner-up in the 1600 by just a second behind teammate Ashton Daniels.

In addition to winning the 1600, Daniels finished third in the 800.

Casey Fanz was second in the 400, third in the long jump and fourth in the 200, while teammate Caleigh Dintino placed fourth in both the 800 and 1600.

Powhatan finished a distant third in the boys meet, but Wesley Livermon was a bright spot by finishing second in the 110 hurdles and third in PHOTO BY JIM MCCONNELL the high jump.

Indians: Rout Louisa for district win Continued from 1B uncharacteristic unforced errors, Carr steadied the pair. At 5-1, Ramthun not only found her first serve, but also made some spectacularly athletic moves at the net as she and Carr cruised 8-2.

At number two doubles McKenna Seeley paired with Katie Toibin for an 8-1 Powhatan win.

Seeley had her ground strokes working as she made one pinpoint placement shot after another. In the final doubles match Olivia Chadwick and Sarah Koth whitewashed Nixon and Trayer 8-0 for the first of Powhatan’s three shutouts.

At number one singles, Ramthun was nearly flawless, steamrolling Logan 8-0. “She really was superior to anyone on the court,”

Ringstaff said.

Shuffling his lineup, with Carr not participating at number two singles, Ringstaff moved Chadwick up one notch.

The sophomore responded with an 8-0 shellacking of Stanley. “She dominated,” was Ringstaff’s succinct analysis.

In another major lineup change, sophomore Koth moved up from her normal sixth singles position to the number three slot and responded with a solid 82 win. Her victory locked up the match for the Indians. At number four singles, sophomore Cecelia Fleming, not normally in the rotation, was tested before emerging as an 8-4 winner over Nixon.

Junior Holly Sobzak was also elevated into the starting rotation and fought through a very closely contested match

before falling 6-8 to the Lady Lions’ Stanley. In the final singles match freshman Sarah Adams took her Louisa opponent into overtime before losing 7-9 in the closest competition of the day.

The match victory brought the Indians record to an overall 5-3, but more importantly to 2-0 in their first year of completion in the Jefferson District.

While the match provided an opportunity for many of his players to gain experience, often at a higher level of competition, Ringstaff kept the victory in perspective. With the Lady Lions 0-8 overall and 0-2 in the Jefferson District, he understands “the real test will come when we face Western Albemarle -- they have some very strong players PHOTO BY ANJIE HENLEY – and Monticello,” he said.

Champions.

Nearly 2,800 wrestlers came from as far as California to participate in the one-day event, held in the Columbus Convention Center.

Eleven of the 17 Team Predator wrestlers managed to place in their respective weight classes. Gerardi wasn’t one of them – he finished one victory shy of placing – but still was upbeat by the end of a nearly eight-hour ride home Sunday evening.

“I like to win, but I also like being with my teammates and watching them do well,” the youngster said.

Gerardi’s father, Greg, traveled with him on all three trips this month and also didn’t seem overly disappointed by the Ohio result.

“A couple of close matches didn’t go his way, but you have to try and keep everything in perspective,” he noted.

“There’s definitely a

able to accomplish as a seventh-grader; at the same time, we’re around a lot of kids and families who are doing the same thing.”

Gerardi travels to Chester three or four times a week to train with Predator coach Mark Strickland, a former Group AAA state champion for Great Bridge High School.

Gerardi acknowledged the team’s 2-to-3-hour training sessions are the toughest part of being an elite-level youth wrestler.

“You have to love the sport to want to do it,” he said.

Gerardi, already a four-time Virginia youth state champion, started wrestling in a local league, but lasted only one season before the head coach advised Greg Gerardi to find him higher-level competition elsewhere.

Between the regular round-trips to Chester for workouts and frequent

of both time and money for the Gerardis.

But while Collin gets the immediate payoff on the mat – he won his weight class in Virginia Beach without surrendering even one point – all the time spent on the road is also a valuable bonding experience for father and son.

“I don’t look at it as a responsibility,” Greg Gerardi said. “We have fun together and we absolutely love it.”

Still 16 months away from the start of his freshman year at Powhatan High, Gerardi plans to compete for the Indians’ JV next season and hopes to eventually become the program’s first state champion.

“We’re doing this because of his level of desire,” the elder Gerardi added. “We wouldn’t be if he wasn’t all-in. Kids who don’t have that level of commitment don’t experience the same kind of success.”
