Schools seek to boost attendance By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board voted last week to approve changes to the district’s code of student conduct that include ways to target reducing tardiness and chronic absenteeism in Powhatan Schools. On Tuesday, Aug. 9, the board heard about changes the staff was proposing to the 2016-17 Code of Conduct during its workshop and then approved those changes in the meeting that followed. The new code of conduct was approved unanimously by the four board members present. Rick Cole, who represents District 1, was absent. Katie Wojcicki, director of pupil personnel services and special education instruction, specifically addressed the district’s attendance issues in her presentation during the workshop.

In addition to the board’s vote, Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, approved the school district’s regulation on student absences, excuses and dismissal. Regulations are guidelines on how a policy is to be administered and do not need school board approval. Among the changes to the code of conduct is the addition of an entirely new section addressing chronic absenteeism, which is defined as a student missing 10 percent or more of the school year. The new section laid out the number of absences, excused or unexcused, that will lead to a student being considered chronically absent: elementary, more than 18 absences for the year, and secondary schools, more than nine absences from a class within a given semester if the class meets daily and more than five absences if the class has an alternate schedule. Another addition to the code of conduct is that after a certain amount of excused absences during a nine-

week period – five to 10, depending on the situation – the principal may require a note from a medical professional verifying illness or a medical/ dental appointment, according to the document. Examples of excused absences or tardiness include student illness, serious illness or medical emergency in family that requires the absence of the student, the death of family member, a recognized religious holiday, a mandatory court appearance, a family trip or a medical/dental appointment. The code also establishes out how the student’s school will respond after a certain amount of absences to see what the issue is and if accommodations may be made. It lays out a timeline that details at what point a teacher, counselor or administrator will reach out to the family of the student to see if assistance may be required such as see SCHOOL page 9A

PHS alum Goode on road to recovery By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan County grand jury last week indicted a Jetersville man for his role in a fight over a fishing spot that ended with a Powhatan man stabbed in the head. Jesse Ray Moore, 25, of Jetersville is charged with the aggravated malicious wounding of Norris Goode Jr., 21, of Powhatan, a second-degree felony that carries a possible sentencing of 20 years to life in prison if convicted. A charge of aggravated malicious wounding is still pending against Jesse Moore’s brother, Jacob Moore, 21, of Powhatan, who was also involved in the fight but has

agreed to testify against his older sibling. The aggravated malicious wounding charge against the two men speaks to intent to harm and the severity of the wounds, said Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney. The charges the Moore brothers face stem from a fight that occurred on April 17 when the brothers allegedly challenged Goode’s right to use a pond on Huguenot Springs Road to fish, he said. Cerullo said that although the two suspects are white and the victim is black, race hasn’t been a factor in the case because everyone involved, including Goode, has said it was not an issue in the incident. see GOODE page 3A

Lonesome Dove event beats heat By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Blistering heat dampened attendance at Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center’s first Veteran’s Appreciation event, but it didn’t keep those who came out from having a good time. The fundraiser for Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center (LDEC) drew a few hundred people out throughout the day to enjoy music, games, food and opportunities to honor veterans on Saturday, Aug. 13 at the Village Meadow, executive director and founder Clint Arrington said. The fundraiser brought in more than $3,000 for the nonprofit and also continued to raise awareness for the work it does offering therapeutic horseback rides for veterans, Arrington said. Several tables were set up with information and veterans who served during different American Wars. “We did have some veterans from McGuire Hospital that do come out and ride. They got to see these guys and they got to see the disabilities. It is amazing they can even get on a horse but they will,” he said. The money raised will go toward the nonprofit’s $60,000 annual budget, which leaves little leeway for unforeseen emergencies or needs, he added. Frank Rennie of Powhatan, who retired from the U.S. Navy six years ago, attended with his wife both to hear the performance by the Flashback Band and to honor the veterans LDEC helps. He said he was sorry the heat kept so many people away but he felt it was still a great way to recognize and honor veterans. “I think any time a community, and especially Powhatan, which is now my community, can honor veterans, it is a great event. I am very honored to be part of a community that would pay the tribute that they do to veterans,” Rennie said. see VETERANS page 6A

Freedom Flag Foundation seeks support from Powhatan Schools By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – With the impending approach of the 15th anniversary of the terror attacks that occurred on Sept. 11, 2001, the Powhatan County School Board last week heard a presentation from the Freedom Flag Foundation on a way to make sure students are aware of the significance of that day. During the board’s meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 9, John Riley, treasurer of the Freedom Flag Foundation, spoke about the origins of the Freedom Flag as a way to remember the events of Sept. 11 and the programs the foundation has created that can be used in local schools. Richard Melito, who designed and created the flag in 2002, was also present at the meeting. Riley said he was speaking to the board to gain its support of the flag as an educational tool to teach students about Sept. 11 and its heroes. The flag has 10 elements that have special meaning to that day, such as a white star that represents all who lived and died for freedom, five bars that surround it to represent the Pentagon and the organized protection of the nation’s freedom, and two broad red stripes that are symbols of the Twin Towers. “It has been raised at schools across the country and we are encouraging all schools in Virginia and beyond to raise the Freedom Flag on 9-11 and recite the 10 elements,” he said. In Henrico County, a pilot program was started with seventh grade middle school social studies classes that uses the Freedom Flag and hands-on activities to teach about Sept. 11, Riley said. The program started a few years ago and has spread to six other schools. “The curriculum is wide open and we encourage that to let the Freedom Flag create the ideas in the minds of the faculty and then they can take it and run with it,” he said. Riley pointed out that Powhatan was the first school division in the area to fly the Freedom Flag. He asked for the board’s help in continuing to raise the flag, recite its element and hopefully partner with the foundation to roll out a program of their own. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, and the four board members present at the meeting all thanked the foundation representatives for what they are doing and expressed support of either the program or the need to make sure the knowledge of what happened that day is passed on to each generation. Rick Cole, who represents District 1, was absent. Jones said that in talks with foundation representatives leading up to the meeting, the one fact that struck him pertained to today’s students. “There are no students we currently educate that were either alive or probably remember 9-11 because they were either not born or too young to remember,” he said. “That really struck me that that much time has gone past and that it is incumbent upon us to make sure that they do remember and they do understand how important that day was for our country.” Valarie Ayers, District 3, said 9-11 did change the lives of people alive that day and that the schools “need to work very diligently to pass that on to our future generations.” “I don’t know that they will ever completely get the feelings that we had but they need to understand what it is to be an American and what it is to die for your country, die helping other people and uniting,” she said. Other business that was handled at the Aug. 9 workshop and meeting included: Adopting proposed 2016-17 Code of Student Conduct.

Kris Gwaltney, director of transportation services, gave an overall presentation on code of conduct changes in the workshop, which the board approved unanimously in the meeting. Outside of significant changes to the attendance policy, which are outlined in a story on 1A, Gwaltney outlined a few other changes. In the code’s definition section, the term bystander was added in relation to disciplinary actions at the high school to include students who stand around and watch disciplinary actions instead of going on to class, thereby adding to the disruption. In the dress code, the prohibition of spaghetti straps changed from grade five to grades six and above, she said. The language outlining what work could be made up when a student is suspended was left up to the discretion of the principal instead of not being allowed at all, she said. The purpose of this was to make sure a student who has been suspended isn’t doubly punished by not having the opportunity to catch up. The number of dispositions for chronic misbehavior were backed down slightly. Approving the VSBA May 2016 revised school board policies. The board had a little discussion on the policies during its workshop and then passed them unanimously during the meeting that followed. Ayers expressed desire to keep the public comment period time limit for individuals at three minutes and for groups at five minutes instead of going to three minutes for each. There was a consensus among the board. She also referenced the concussion policy and said Jones had confirmed for her that there is a concussion management team. Jones agreed and said it is an active committee with several members. Kim Hymel, District 5, said she needed to express that she feels to policy on class size has numbers that are too high for elementary school. The policy calls for a ratio of 24 students to one teacher in kindergarten with no class larger than 29 students and any class over 24 students has a fulltime teacher’s aide. In first to third grade, the ratio is 24-to-one with a maximum of 30 students. Jones said those are the maximums and the schools are currently nowhere near them in most of the classes. Jones pointed out the staff will be going through the policy to take out references to Powhatan Junior High School since the school district no longer has a junior high. Adopting the 2016-17 PCPS Crisis Manual. The school board has a chance to review the plan, but the details of the crisis manual were not released for security purposes, Jones said. Jones said there were some changes to the number of fire drills and lockdown drills. The manual was approved unanimously. Accepting 3.129 acres from the county. The 3.129 acres along Old Buckingham Road will be used for a joint transportation facility for the county and school district. The board approved the transfer of property to the school district. The school board had to formally accept the deed by resolution, pay a total of $10 for it, and purchase title insurance on the property. Approving a declaration of surplus property and disposal of surplus items. The board voted unanimously to declare a list of items from the Powhatan High School darkroom and weight lifting equipment that are no longer needed as surplus so the staff may dispose of it in accordance with school board policy.

Powhatan Today, August 17, 2016

After the fight, Goode was taken by his father, Norris Goode Sr., to St. Francis Watkins Centre because of a cut on his arm. However, he was soon transferred to Chippenham Hospital, where an X-ray revealed that he had a 2.25-inch knife blade lodged in his head and he needed emergency surgery to remove it. Four months after the stabbing, Goode said he is trying to move on with life as fast as possible and get back his everyday sense of normalcy, but he is still receiving physical therapy and treatment for damage caused by his injuries. Most days, Goode, who graduated from Powhatan High School in 2013, said he can wake up and not think about the incident unless something triggers the memories. He is back at work and has enrolled for the fall semester at Virginia State University, where he is a business management major. When he does think about that day in April and the time in the hospital that followed, it feels like the situation is still halfway through, he said. “I hope the trial is speedy and I hope justice is served, for sure,” he said.

A situation gone wrong On April 17, Goode said he came home from school to relax and invited a friend, Chase Dowdle of Powhatan, to go fishing at a pond across the road from his house. He said he had been fishing there for years and had received the owner’s permission. When the men didn’t catch anything after 15 to 20 minutes, they decided to move locations, Goode said. But while they were driving out, he said they were flagged by two men in a truck who questioned if they had permission to be fishing at the pond. Jacob Moore lives in a house with his mother by the pond and his brother was visiting them. Goode’s account of how the fight started differs from a statement found in court documents that Jesse Moore gave to Detective Marilyn Durham, who investigated the case. However, in both accounts, they admit there was a fight. Goode said the fight was extremely short, possibly even a matter of seconds, and that Dowdle exited the car, helped him in and drove him home. From there Goode’s father

son left to go be with Goode at the hospital. Meanwhile, Goode was transferred to Johnston-Willis Hospital, where he underwent emergency surgery that lasted 10 hours, Parker said. “They removed the blade. They went into an artery in his neck to check for bleeding,” she said. “They had to restructure his tendon muscle in his arm because it had been

rays revealed the knife. Goode said that when the doctor came back with the X-rays and told him what had been found, his first words were “I guess you’ve got to get it out then.” Goode’s mother, Rebecca Parker of Powhatan, was with her son when they received the news and was in complete shock. “For me things unfolded so quickly and the last thing I thought was he had been stabbed in the brain. That never crossed my mind. I thought he had been stabbed in the arm,” she said. Parker called Goode’s father, who had gone to the scene of the incident and was there with Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office deputies and the Moore brothers. At that time they still did not know about the knife in Goode’s head. Isaiah Goode, who was with his father at the pond, said the entire tenor of the scene at the pond changed with the news.

severed. The blade in his brain had severed an optic nerve. He was going to have limitations with vision, they suspected.” Before going into the surgery, Parker said it was her son’s calmness in the face of the life-threatening situation that gave her strength. Goode said he “had never felt so much peace. I was ready to wake up on the other side if that’s what came.”

Road to recovery But Goode did survive the surgery and was placed in a medically induced coma for several hours. When doctors started to bring him out of it, Parker said his first words were about a football player he had faced while playing for PHS. Although Goode had to stay in ICU for five of the eight days he was in the hospital, his mother said he was “recovering miraculously” and repeatedly trying to go beyond the bounds of what doc-

tors said he should physically do. He also soon insisted on weaning himself off of strong painkillers because he didn’t want to become dependent on them and go through withdrawal symptoms. After his release from the hospital, Goode said he had to stay out of work for two months and accept incompletes for his spring semester college classes because he missed his finals, although the school is working with him to not have to retake all of the courses. He is still in physical therapy for damage to his arm and the after affects of his head wound include numbness, nerve pain and severe double vision, which doctors are hoping will heal with time, he said. Despite these challenges, Parker said she is grateful for how much he recovered from a wound that some medical professionals said could have killed him. “They remind him of how close to death he was, how miraculous his recovery time is and the fact that he has all his faculties. He still is very sharp and has his reasoning skills,” she said. “It is as if the blade didn’t impact all that it probably should have, looking at it from a scientific side.” Parker and Goode both said they were thankful for all the support the famsee GOODE page 5A

At the time, they realized he had been cut on the arm but had no idea that a knife blade had been broken off in his head. “I was bleeding from my right tricep and from my temple.

Board looks at county procedures By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors has had a busy schedule in recent weeks with a full meeting on July 25 and a four-hour workshop on Aug. 1. All board members were in attendance at both meetings, where the variety of topics either voted on or discussed included convenience center hours, purchasing emergency vehicles, to making changes to the county’s purchasing policy. At the meeting on Monday, Aug. 1, the board spent four hours discussing various topics but did not take a formal vote on any of the measures. The board discussed the cost to keep the county’s convenience center open on Mondays. Ramona Carter, director of public works told the board the cost would be $51,516 per year. Having it closed on Monday was made because of budget constraints, it is the day with the lowest traffic and Mondays are the weekday with the most set holidays. The day is generally a day to catch up and clean up at the center. Board chairman Bill Melton, District 4, said he posed the question because of questions from some of his constituents. The board also discussed the effects of recycling on cost. Carter pointed out that the county pays more to recycle than to

dispose of solid waste. The cost of recycling is $77.90 a ton versus $29.60 a ton for sending waste to a landfill. She pointed out the county has a certain amount of solid waste it is required to recycle. She also said that because the convenience center can compact landfill waste site, it is able to reduce those hauls. The board discussed electricity costs for ball fields and if there is any alternative equipment that could help reduce the cost of power consumption. Carter detailed some of the options that the county has been looking at to save money and the board also discussed how teams using the fields are charged for their use of electricity. They discussed if there were changes that could be made with the way teams use the fields to lessen costs as well. In relation to the county’s water and sewer utilities, the board members discussed enforcing a strong waste ordinance, which is not currently being enforced, and changes to county code/ordinance. Carter pointed out that if the county doesn’t enforce the strong waste ordinance, the residents are paying to treat the extra waste. Not charging businesses could be an economic development measure. The board discussed the penalties that could be charged for this and how it might affect existing businesses or economic development. The board discussed funding for the

that is around them, we need to be sure that a preschool is ‘content rich’ with appropriate information and materials. Our preschool is designed to encourage movement and exploration. Academic milestones will come if the child has enough time to build with blocks, paint, sing, work puzzles, listen to stories and create. While every preschool class aims to help children get ready for kindergarten, our 5-daysa-week Pre K class is specifically designed for children who may be ‘old’ enough for kindergarten but who are not quite ‘ready.' Parents may choose the traditional 9 to 12 hours or may choose our ‘extended option’ hours of 9 to 1:30. Social, emotional and physical readiness are just as important as age when deciding the optimal time to begin kindergarten. This program gives children good academic, social and behavior management skills so that when they do go to kindergarten, they will go to ready for success! Our teachers have over 100 years of combined experience in the field of preschool education! The preschool director has a degree in Elementary Education and has worked with preschool age children for 38 years. As a ministry of Powhatan United Methodist Church, the preschool is a non-profit licensed by the Department of Social Services. Our costs are kept low so that families can afford this option for their children. We invite you to join us for our 28th year of learning and fun!

The Moore brothers were both arrested and charged with aggravated malicious wounding and both have since been released on bail, Cerullo said. Jesse Moore’s trial date has been set for Oct. 28 in Powhatan Circuit Court. Jacob Moore will have a preliminary hearing in General District Court at 11 a.m. on Sept. 23. He agreed to testify against his brother, so the commonwealth’s attorney’s office is working on prosecuting Jesse Moore before it sends Jacob Moore’s case to a grand jury.

Why do parents choose to enroll their young children in preschool? There are many reasons. The presence of other children and a wide variety of age appropriate materials together with teachers trained in early childhood education are what make preschool different from home. Powhatan Methodist Preschool is specifically designed for families of any faith looking for a part time program that will provide a safe and nurturing ‘first school’ environment for their child. Our program is both academic and social and the development of the child is addressed in the context of Christian growth and understanding. Emphasis here is on building the whole child by teaching social, emotional, physical and educational skills in a group setting. Children will move through a structured morning of songs, stories, outdoor activities, art, music and play. Listening to poetry and singing songs are building blocks needed to grasp phonics and reading skills when the child is ready. Playing in sand and water forms the foundation for understanding basic math concepts. Matching, sequencing and one-to-one correspondence are activities done to help children get ready to learn academics. Learning to listen, take turns, speak kindly and help one another lead to developing empathy and compassion at a very young age. Current brain research shows what parents have known for years: During the preschool years children are learning at a rapid rate. Since they are like sponges, soaking up all

ily received in the weeks and months following the incident in the form of emotional, spiritual and financial support. At a time when the family was so exhausted they didn’t have the strength to pray, community members stepped in and did it for them, Parker said. Goode said it was amazing that people he didn’t even know were praying for his recovery.

Powhatan County Fair Association, which has been in talks through the years about the county’s support of the fair, Pat Weiler, county administrator, said. Board members pointed out the county does not have an agreement with the fair association dictating any financial obligation to the fair, although in years prior to fiscal year 2013, the board of supervisors approved a $5,000 contribution to the group. The board discussed some of the county’s history with the fair association. The issue of fairness in contributions for different organizations was discussed. The board agreed that the fair association can make requests but needs to do it during the county’s regular budget process. Other business handled at the July 25 board meeting included: Adopting the Powhatan County Procurement Policy. On Aug. 12, 2002, the board unanimously adopted a small sum purchasing policy, but since then, the state has increased their minimum requirements for competitive sealed bidding and negotiation, Charla Schubert, director of finance, told the board. This was done with the Virginia Public Procurement Act. “This policy will become consistent with the minimum requirements of the

The event was a good way to show what kind of community Powhatan County is and how much its residents care about veterans and each other, said Carson Tucker, who represents District 5 on the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud that we have Lonesome Dove in this county and that so many people came out tonight to support our servicemen and women who have had difficulty in their life, physically or otherwise,â&#x20AC;? he said. Tucker had several great laughs throughout the day, including watching Sheriff Brad Nunnally arrested and put in the onsite jail and then having to rely on others to pay his $25 bail. The mood was just as jovial when fellow board member Bill Melton; Teresa Hash Dobbins, clerk

of the circuit court, and chief deputy Adam Sadler took their turns in the dunking booth. Tucker said Sadlerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s was the most entertaining to watch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a good spirited individual who really got into it. He was heckling and he was being heckled. He was daring people,â&#x20AC;? Tucker said. Crista Manieri of Chester was invited by the band because they will be playing at an event she organizes later in the day. She said she wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t familiar with Lonesome Dove or even the great space the county has with the Village Meadow, so the whole day was a pleasant surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought what a neat fit to benefit the veterans and the riding center,â&#x20AC;? she said. Even with attendance lower than expected, Arrington said he was happy the way the event turned out. It was upbeat, military oriented and brought in funds for the riding pro-

Don Habersack, pastor of Family Worship Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know kids are happy, and I know that the people working it are happy to be able to give back,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is always a lot of laughter and joy with the petting zoo and face painting. Some people stay for hours and others stay about an hour, have some fun and move on.â&#x20AC;? Each year the church has held the event, it has increased the number of backpacks given away to meet rising demand, Habersack said. For the 2015 event, all 120 backpacks the church prepared were given away. The church buys the backpacks and the school supplies to fill them, he said. Some are specifically desig-

nated for elementary students, while others can be used by any age students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just want to reach out with the love of God and be a blessing to the community and help take the burden off some families. For families with more than one child, can you imagine how much that costs?â&#x20AC;? he said. Inside the backpacks, families will also find gifts and gift cards donated by local businesses, Habersack said. When asked, businesses have been generous in donating items for the backpacks or things that can be given away in drawings held throughout the day. The backpacks will be given away while they last but the child must be present at the event with a guardian, McCord said. The backpack giveaway will be held rain or shine.

Consequences of governor’s actions a good sign By Laura McFarland News Editor

t’s a strange feeling to not like that somebody did something but be pleased they did at the same time. That feeling, at least on my part, all comes down to consequences. Actions have consequences. It is a lesson people hear from the time they are young – usually when they have made a mistake or a poor decision. The topic that started this train of thought revolved around the decision made on July 22 by the Supreme Court of Virginia to strike down Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s executive order restoring civil rights to 206,000 felons. I’ve heard plenty of discussions about the court’s decision, just as there were numerous people talking when McAuliffe first signed the executive order on April 22. At the time that first executive order was signed, I couldn’t quite put my finger on why it didn’t sit right. Writing about the court’s decision and showing how it affected Powhatan County helped bring a little clarity to my personal feelings on the matter. I can honestly attest to being pleased with the governor signing his executive order for the very reason that the decision was later struck down. That probably sounds a little convoluted. Let me explain. For me, what was at issue wasn’t really that ex-convicts were having their rights restored. The governor may have skipped a few steps in the restoration of rights process for the men and women on that list, but they wouldn’t have been approved to register if they didn’t meet the criteria already laid out in the Code of Virginia. Instead, the importance of this issue was found in

other aspects. One was the right of an elected official to make sweeping decisions without any oversight. In the lawsuit they brought to overturn McAuliffe’s executive orders, Republican leaders asserted the governor overstepped his power by issuing a blanket restoration order for violent and nonviolent felons with no case-by-case review. The majority in the Supreme Court of Virginia agreed, and so do I. I am all for rehabilitation and giving people a second chance. I can even get on board with some pardons and the restoration of rights of people who have served their time and are trying to lead a better life. But for a governor to issue a blanket pardon for more than 200,000 convicted criminals without even taking a glance at their files smacks of irresponsibility. For a governor to essentially claim he has absolute power in any area, even clemency, is troubling, to say the least. It probably goes back to how people, including myself, tend to view the American government at all levels and how it operates. We want to trust in it and believe the people who have been elected and hired to run it have our best interests at heart, but we also appreciate that checks and balances have been put in place to guard against people in any one of those three branches usurping more power or responsibility than they should. So when I say I am pleased with the governor’s executive order because it was struck down, it is because it is good to see checks and balances at work in an effective way. The governor overstepped his bounds, and he was called on it. Another reason to be pleased with the situation is because, of those 206,000 people who had their rights restored, 13,000 of them actually went through the process of registering to vote between April 22 and July 22. According to data on the Virginia Department of

Elections’ website, during the months of May, June and July, 83,413 people registered to vote. This isn’t an exact matchup of dates, but it is close enough to see that roughly 15 percent of those who registered during that time fell under McAuliffe’s executive order. While it absolutely must have stung for those men and women to have that right taken away again because of the court’s decision, they are being notified that they can apply again, this time going through the regular restoration of rights process. How many of them would have never fully understood that having their civil rights restored was an option for them if this entire situation hadn’t happened? A criminal record carries with it a huge stigma, both in looking for gainful employment and in how others view them. How many convicted felons who really do want to turn their lives around never realize they have a chance to get back this other piece of themselves? On the subject of voter registration and voter turnout, the state’s website says that “voter registration is a strong indicator of citizen commitment to their communities.” We are always saying as a society that people need to get more involved. We definitely say the people who don’t vote don’t have a right to complain when elected officials do something we don’t like. Every election, passionate people who believe in the power of elections go to all kinds of places to encourage people to vote. While some may have an agenda, the overall premise is that voting helps to ensure that the results of an election accurately reflect the will of the people. And isn’t that the whole purpose of believing in and fighting for a democratic nation? Laura McFarland mat be reached at Lmcfarland@ powhatantoday.com.

Do they call them drug stores anymore? By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

ike many busy Americans, I rarely venture inside pharmacies to pick up prescriptions. A creature of habit and convenience, I join the long line of customers in the drive-thru line, opting for laziness over efficiency. My last visit didn’t go as planned, and I had to go inside the drug store (do they still call them that?), and wait for my prescription. As I sat in a barren waiting area surrounded by aisles of medications and health care products, I couldn’t help but think about how much the experience has changed over the decades, and how folks today could care less about where they get their prescriptions or who fills them. For three decades of my life, my family used only one pharmacy. Although Peoples Drug Store opened shortly after we moved to Richmond and was only steps from our house, our loyalty to a small pharmacy on Patterson Avenue and the determined pharmacist remained. I’m not sure when Joe Slipow began filling prescriptions at Lafayette Pharmacy in the small shopping center at Libbie and Patterson Avenues, but he’s the first person I encountered at a drug store. My father told me Joe Slipow’s amazing story — how he was orphaned in the Ural Mountains as a child and came to America to live with his grandparents in Richmond. I’m also not sure when he started the small pharmacy that attracted kids from Westhampton School to Willow Lawn to enjoy treats from an old-fashioned soda fountain with limited seats. On summer evenings, we would play on the fields of the old school until we were soaked with sweat and then head across the street to Lafayette for the best snow cone in the city, packed to the rim with the best cherry syrup imaginable. Over the years, our family depended on Slipow and his dedicated staff for all of our medical needs, and my mother often called on the pharmacist for advice on everyday bumps and bruises we encountered on a regular basis.

In a world where technology centered largely on a black rotary phone, a call to our doctor and a promise to send a prescription resulted in a knock on our door only hours later. The same man delivered our prescriptions for years, and his arrivals were always on time. In what seemed like magic, hours after calling the doctor, you were opening a package and beginning a dose of medicine. When fall arrived, we purchased all of our school supplies at Lafayette, and Joe Slipow watched all of us grow up. Sometimes, that lifelong connection didn’t have the desired results when he would tell you needed a haircut, or ask you about your grades in school. At Christmas, we purchased gifts for our parents at Joe Slipow’s pharmacy and even picked up lastminute hooks for ornaments at the small store Years later, Joe retired and others took his place behind the small counter at the back of the store. When I became a father, I made sure the little pharmacy was a part of my daughter’s life. We visited often and she established her link with the soda fountain and its thick milk shakes where there was always enough left in the metal container for a small refill. A man known only as “Bear” became a friend and confidante to my child and many others in the neighborhood, and a generational link was established between those who ran and played at Westhampton in my generation and a new group of area kids. Bear, William Jones, was never too busy to assist a child, or hand out a piece of candy, and he made sure that Lafayette remained a place where everybody knew your name. Somewhere along the line, the pharmacy moved to a larger location, and under new ownership, expanded the counter service. The eatery still enjoys a large group of loyal customers who enjoy the neighborhood feel of a local pharmacy. Lafayette wasn’t the only pharmacy that offered that personalized down-home service back in those days, but it’s the one that provided me with those special memories. Only blocks away, Doc White’s on Grove Avenue had the same kind of dedicated following.

Procurement Act as well as establishing additional procedures for competition and quotes below those minimum requirements,” Schubert said. The policy lays out specific procedures for how the government must handle different services, depending on their cost. According to the policy: all public contracts over $100,000 with nongovernmental contractors for the purchase or lease of goods, or for the purchase of services, insurance, or construction shall be awarded after competitive sealed bidding or competitive negotiation as required by the Virginia Public Procurement Act, unless otherwise authorized by law. All public contracts over $60,000 Professional services shall be procured by competitive negotiation. All public contracts more than $5,000 and less than projects that meet the examples previously mentioned shall require three writ-

ten quotes, unless otherwise exempted or authorized by law. All purchases more than $2,500 and less than $5,000 shall require three verbal quotes. The county’s policy lists a number of exemptions to this policy, including training, educational services and conferences; travel, room and board; used vehicles, machinery and equipment, and dues, subscription and publications.

Attendance problems interventions or an attendance plan. When the four board members offered support for the proposed changes to the school district’s attendance policy, Jones warned them they are all likely at some point to receive phone calls from parents upset they have been put on professional note because of excessive absences. He added that some of the most frustrating conversations he has had since coming to Powhatan revolved around parents who believed nobody had the right to tell them when their children should or shouldn’t be in school. “We will get contacted about this and we will get some parents who feel like we are infringing upon their rights as parents. But the message is that you have control over when your child stays home, but there is such a thing as an excused absence and an unexcused absence and there are consequences for each,” Jones said. “The choices you make, just like we teach children, there are consequences for them.” Board chairman James Kunka, District 2, said the list of reasons for what constitutes an excused absence probably ranges from the “very sympathetic” to “absolutely appalling.” He added that he views “absenteeism not as a problem but as a symptom of a problem.” “A lot of times it is something you would be very sympathetic with. It’s chronic health issues, socioeconomic issues with transportation or family coverage for this and that. Absolutely, my heart breaks for those,” he said. “But then you’ve got instances where at the drop of a hat parents will opt not to have a child go to school

Jones said the attendance committee studied Powhatan’s attendance data and patterns and recommended ways the schools can improve student attendance and address the negative consequences of being consistently tardy or absent. Figuring out ways to address absenteeism is a problem schools nationwide struggle with because there can be so many factors that play into a student not being there, he said. “I think the committee did a good job coming forward with some recommendations that we have tied in to not just policy but the code of conduct,” he said. All Powhatan schools have reported issues with individual students not making expected gains, Wojcicki said. Part of that problem can be attributed to students not attending regularly or only sporadically. However, when the committee looked at the school district’s policies, it found that the students were not actually in violation of Powhatan’s attendance policy, she said. Upon closer examination, the members found they did have an issue with chronic absenteeism, Wojcicki said. Students were considered at risk if they met twothirds of the criteria for chronic absenteeism. At the elementary level, 5.1 percent of the students had issues with chronic absenteeism and 10.2 percent were at risk during the 2015-2016 school year, she said. With Pocahontas Middle School, those numbers rose slightly to 5.8 percent chronic absenteeism and 13.2 percent at risk. Powhatan Junior High School

saw a bit jump with 43 percent chronic absenteeism and 22.5 percent at risk. Powhatan High School had much lower chronic absenteeism with 23 percent, but had 24.7 percent of students at risk. Those numbers were a significant concern, but, in answer to a question from Kunka, Wojcicki added that the bulk of them were excused absences. “I will emphasize we do not have a truancy issue. We have a great program in place and so students who are truant, we have supports in place and we work with them,” she said. “Saying that, we then went forward and said how are we going to address this?” In addition to the issue of fullday absences, Wojcicki pointed out there was an issue with tardiness for the schools as well. Numbers among younger students were again low, with 2.4 percent of elementary students chronically tardy and 3.25 percent at risk and 3.5 percent of middle schoolers chronically tardy and 4.1 percent at risk. The numbers spike a little with the junior high to 6.5 percent chronically tardy and 10.1 percent at risk. The highest by far was the high schoolers, who had 24 percent chronically tardy and 15.8 percent at risk.

Attendance recommendations The committee’s recommendation was to approach the attendance problem in ways that are holistic, consistent and flexible, Wojcicki said. She pointed out that information from the schools showed they weren’t consistently applying the rules with regard to absences and tardiness, and the revised code will address that. For instance, they recommended deleting the requirement

However, due to new federal regulations, an additional $60,000 is needed to build and equip the two ambulances to meet those new specifications. The changes have to do with: ambulance litter integrity, retention and patient restraint; ambulance equipment mount device or systems, and ambulance patient compartment seating integrity and occupant restraint. Carson Tucker, District 5, clarified that the additional money needed was not because the county made a mistake in its estimations but because of changes federal regulations. Chief Steven Singer said if the ambulances did not meet these new specifications, the vehicles wouldn’t be classified as an ambulance and couldn’t transport patients under federal regulations. He said he was aware the changes were in the works but no one knew when they would take effect. Larry Nordvig, District 2, pointed out that the regulations felt like an unfunded mandate. “There has got to be some better way here than suddenly getting hit with $60,000 and now we are looking at the future and there might be some more unexpected costs, through no fault of anyone here and yet we are sitting here holding the bag and we’ve to cough up the money,” he said. Weiler pointed out that Singer had kept her apprised of the possible regulations and let her know as soon as the regulations went into effect.

The board unanimously approved the additional $60,000. Authorizing the county administrator to execute documents for the field improvements project. The board adopted the FY Capital Improvements Program (CIP) and budgeted and appropriated $668,000 for the field improvements project. County staff met with Powhatan County Public Schools staff and selected Musco Sports Lighting LLC, Schubert said. Lighting upgrades for the baseball field, football/soccer field and softball field are $570,788 of the project cost. The resolution authorizes the county administrator to sign all documents for completion of the project. Tucker asked if these field improvements will improve the county’s need for more practice space for various teams. Weiler said there will not be many increases in teams because most of these fields already have lights; this project mostly replaces lights. The exception to this is the softball field, which, upon gaining lights, will be able to have practices go later into the dark hours, she said. “This is addressing safety as opposed to addressing more fields,” she said. Melton said he liked the proposal and pointed out that the company was installing 25-year lights that will relamp at the end of the light’s rated light, which is 5,000 hours. The resolution passed unanimously. Approving lease financing terms for the two fire trucks The board unanimously approved lease financing terms for

that elementary students must be present at least 50 percent of the school day to be considered present for the day, she said. The committee found that when children had to be taken out of school early or arrived late because of an appointment, parents would keep them out for the whole day because it counted as an absence anyway. The committee felt that policy devalued the part of the day the children would have been present outside of the appointment, she said. “That didn’t seem to be consistent with our goal of trying to get the kids to be in school as much as possible,” she said. The committee recommended allowing students to make up missed work because not letting them does so goes against the entire point of school, which is to help students learn, she said. The group also wanted to eliminate automatic failure (academic sanction) for the nine weeks of high school credit course when a student has more than four absences during any quarter’s grading period and does not make up the time. “If a student missed more than four class periods, at the end of the nine weeks they could come in and make up the time. That time was with a high school staff member who was available. It wasn’t instructional time per se... It just sort of sent the message that we just wanted you in the building. We weren’t really placing an emphasis on instruction,” Wojcicki said. She noted that the high school’s policy requiring students to be present for a certain number of periods in a class in order to qualify for an exam exemption is an effective tool because it sends “the message that time in class is

two fire trucks it previously budgeted and appropriated funds to acquire. The resolution dictates that the financing of the two vehicles through BB&T Bank cannot exceed $700,000 and the annual interest rate cannot exceed 2.02 percent. Amending the Powhatan County Employee Handbook dated July 1, 2015. Linda Jones, human resources manager, said most of the changes to the handbook are administrative, but she did point out a few of them specifically. One change was adding that leave that lasts more than 80 hours can’t be taken before retirement without the agency head approval. This is to prevent carrying benefits on an employee at a cost to the county and also have a department shorthanded for too long. The new policy added the tuition reimbursement back into the manual for discretionary training that could reasonably be expected to increase the employee’s knowledge, skill and ability relative their current job, Jones said. She pointed out this is only when funds are available; it is on a first come, first serve basis; there is a limit of $3,000 per employee, per year, and it must be approved by their department head. The board agreed investing in employees is important, but to guard against employees taking advantage of the training and then leaving, they added language that the county administrator may require the employee to enter into a reimbursement agreement. The point would be that the employee might be required to reimburse the county

what is valuable.” “That is a potent incentive for students. They like not having to take that exam,” she said. Sometimes it is parents who need to be made aware of the importance of children being in school, especially with younger students, she said. Many parents of kindergarteners and first graders don’t seem to feel that being in school consistently at that age is as important as high school. But a study has found that students in third grade are 47 percent less likely to be reading on grade level if they meet the definition for chronic absenteeism in kindergarten and first grade, she said. “Unfortunately, we found that those patterns in kindergarten and first grade become pretty engrained by the time they get to high school,” Wojcicki said. “We found that students who are absent in kindergarten and first grade are most likely to be those challenged students in high school who are at risk for not graduating.” Kunka and Kim Hymel, District 5, both pointed out that children need to learn from the start that being present is an important lesson to learn because it is one they will experience their entire lives. Hymel said she tells her children that their job right now is to go to school just like their parents’ have jobs where they have to be present. “We want to teach them to be productive and responsible. If you can’t start that in kindergarten and all through your school life, how are you going to be employed successfully?” she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

The amended handbook also took away an employee’s birthday as a holiday, effective after Dec. 31, 2016 to be fair to employees with birthdays later in the year. Amending the Powhatan County Compensation and Classification Plan The board adopted the Compensation and Classification Plan in June 2015 and amended it in both February and May 2016.

New Blessed Sacrament Huguenot coach Chuck Robinson (right) talks with his players during pre-season practice at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot last week. Robinson comes to BSH from St. Christopher’s and provides a depth of coaching knowledge for the Knights.

BSH football gearing up for 016 campaign By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

uring the break of one of the practices this pre-season, several players approached new coach Chuck Robinson and brought up an idea for how the Knights should enter the field this season when they’re announced. It was something involving a knight’s sword, an American flag and a smoke machine. Robinson said he’d take it under “advisement,” with laughs going all around. While the off time for this Blessed Sac-

rament Huguenot team is full of laughing, make no mistake. When the Knights put on their helmets and take to the field for practice and no doubt for games this season, it is all business. “These kids are all workers,” Robinson said of his squad. “They want to put in the work.” While there are some new faces for the Knights that’ll be exciting to see how they fit into the offense and defense, several returning players are looking to have strong years once again. One returning player is quarterback

Noah Dowdy. Dowdy is a dual-threat quarterback, able to utilize his arm in finding receiving targets as well as his legs to scramble and create opportunities with his legs. Dowdy said that he is excited for the upcoming season. “The whole team is excited,” he said. “We’ve been working hard all summer. We’re ready to go. We’re chasing states and just ready to go.” Senior Brian Lee also feels that this season will be a successful one. “We’re going to be pretty good,” he said.

“We’ve been working out this summer. We’re going to be good.” Offensive lineman Christian Strauss said that the summer program this year is a huge step forward for the program. “Last year, there was no summer anything,” he said. “There was no lifting together, there were no meetings. This summer, every single day, we’ve been here together, working out and getting ready. Even if someone isn’t putting up big numbers on weight, they’re here and you know they worked just as hard as you did. That see KNIGHTS page 2B

Mickens arrives as new Powhatan athletic trainer By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

sUBMitteD Photo

Shelly Mickens joined the Powhatan athletic family as the new athletic trainer recently. Mickens has a long resume of working with athletes, from Sweetbriar College to her work in the clinic at Commonwealth Sports Medicine. Mickens is a wife and has two young children.

As the Powhatan High School athletes have been going about their pre-season practices thus far, there’s been on pervasive new face that has been around the practices. Shelly Mickens is the new athletic trainer for the Indians. Mickens, a mother of two children, has been an athletic trainer for 19 years and got her degree at James Madison University and got her graduate degree at Middle Tennessee State. She worked at Sweet-

briar College until 2008 before moving back to Richmond and worked for Commonwealth Sports Medicine doing athletic rehabilitation in the clinic until this past December. What drew her to Powhatan was that she’s familiar with the type of world that she’d be entering. “I decided to work with Bon Secours and they had a few different school choices,” she said. “I made the choice to go to Powhatan. I worked in Essex, so I’m familiar with the type of community that it is. It interests

me to be on this side of town since I’m on Southside. I knew I would know the type of students and staff that I’d be working with. It’s a similar world compared to where I grew up.” Mickens replaced Mike Puglia in the athletic trainer post for the Indians after Puglia accepted the head athletic trainer job at Thomas Dale High School. “Shelly Mickens is going to elevate the Powhatan program,” he wrote in a text message. “I think she will be great.” see MICKENS page 3B

Indians hoping to build off 2015 success in ’16 By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

he Powhatan Indians volleyball team had quite the first season under coach Amber Ortolano. The Indians were Conference 20 runner-up to Hanover, defeated Courtland in four sets on the road in the first round of the Group 4A East playoffs and qualified for the semifinals prior to falling to Jamestown. Ortolano and her squad want to prove to the high school volleyball community in the area that last year’s team was no fluke and that Powhatan volleyball is continuing its ascent. “Our job this year is to take every game one game at a time,” she said. “The main focus is going to be meshing the new kids with the veterans and making some kind of a program here. Last year, a lot of people underestimated us and we were the underdogs. We made a name for ourselves and this year, people will be expecting us to win some of these bigger games.” Part of the plan to continue Powhatan volleyball’s rise is to see some of the top competition out there early in the season to set the bar

for the team. This year, the Indians are participating in the popular Virginia Volleyball Showcase at Richmond Volleyball Club on Labor Day weekend. The showcase is a hot spot for the top teams in the Richmond area, as well as teams from Northern Virginia and the beach area. Ortolano said that participating in the showcase will show what the Indians have early on and what they need to improve on. “Having a tournament like that in the first part of the season is beneficial for us,” she said. “We’re going to see the level of play in other conference and that’ll be a huge eye-opener for some of these kids. It’s n opportunity for them to show off and for some other teams to go ‘oh, that’s Powhatan.” It’s an opportunity to display what we have, but also an opportunity to grow and learn. We always play up to our competition. When competition is fast, like against these top teams, there’s no time for mistakes. The showcase is a good tournament to start off with and I think it’s where we need to be.” Kelli and Abby Nee are two key returning players for the Indians and they’re

gives everyone on the team confidence.” Dowdy said that hard work is one way to put the injuries and disappointment of last year behind them. “The main thing is to execute,” he said. “Last year we had a problem with executing, just basic stuff like tackling. We’ve been work-

ing hard at that and we’re ready to go.” Along with a lack of execution, injuries plagued the Knights’ roster last year. Lee was among those injured, with a shoulder injury. “Mainly over the summer, I’ve been working out,” Lee said. Strauss is confident that, up front, having four of the five players from last year returning will only mean

experience, especially in the playoffs, will be beneficial for new players that are new to the team. Kelli Nee was named first team All-Metro last season by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, after she recorded 617 assists, 150 digs, 108 kills, 74 blocks and 33 aces. Abby Nee consistently swung freely on the outside throughout the year, including gathering 20 digs and 13 kills in the Group 4A East quarterfinal win over Courtland. Some of the new faces coming to the Indians will look to fill the production of the graduated Julia Goodman, one of three seniors that left from last year’s team, but also a huge element of the Indians offense. “We have two seniors that transferred in, one of them is an outside hitter who I think will kind of fill some shoes from last year,” Ortolano said. “I have some younger players that were on the team last season, but didn’t get to see much court time, where I think their role this year will change.” Powhatan will face its first test of the season tonight in a scrimmage against Clover Hill. Both JV and varsity will play the Cavaliers.

Powhatan’s Lauren Llewellyn (top) and Emma Eggleton (above) place spikes over the net on the opposing defense during tryouts, with both hits finding the floor. Both girls will be part of the puzzle to replace the offensive production of Julia Goodman, who graduated.

good things for the Knights rushing attack as well as protecting Dowdy. “This year, the line is almost the same this year,” Strauss said. “Except Cameron Arnold, he’s gone, but now we’ve got a new kid, Peyton, and he’s been here all summer and so has everyone else. This line is just as smart as it was last year, and now they’re just bigger.” The lightheartedness that has been seen amidst the hard work that the Knights have been putting in over the summer is part of one key that Dowdy said would be crucial this season—team chemistry. “I think the biggest thing is having team chemistry off the field,” he said. “Hanging out off the field and do our thing. We’re ready.” Some of that chemistry among quarterback and offensive line was being built

in the offseason as well, according to Dowdy. “I hung out with the guys, the (offensive line),” he said. “I threw some routes with the receivers. Just worked hard all summer.” The camaraderie that is being built this summer will pay dividends for the team as the season goes on. “If someone’s here and they’re working hard, and they make a mistake (during the season),” Strauss said, “it’s ok, we’ll get them next play.” Dowdy, Lee and Strauss all said that they’re enjoying Robinson’s coaching style going into the season. “I love him,” Dowdy said. “He’s a great guy. He has college experience and is a smart guy that is dedicated to the program and building it.” “He’s a really good coach,” Lee added. “He takes care of everyone.”

While Dowdy and Lee said in no uncertain terms that their goal is the state championship this season, Strauss said that his goal for the season is to “go positive.” “States are always the ultimate goal,” he said. “If we can just have more wins than losses, I’ll be very happy.” At running back, Dion Butler and Brian Lee will be two forces for the opposing defenses to deal with. Both running backs and quick and athletic, while Lee also brings a veteran mindset to the position. As long as they both can stay healthy, this part of the offense should be a considerable strength for the duration of the season for the Knights. Newcomers Chris Gupton and Josh Chisholm are big additions on the outside for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. Gupton and Ch-

isholm are both 6-foot-5 and are long and lanky. That reach, in addition to their speed, will be welcome additions to the offensive attack for the Knights. Tight end Kemper Roudabush, who was incredibly effective last season for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, will add a 6-foot-3-inch target for Dowdy and the Knights offense. “These are some guys that will help us at various positions this year,” Robison said of Gupton, Chisholm and Butler. “They add some athleticism for us and we’re excited to have them.” There is turnover at each level of the defense this season, but not at the coordinator position. “Our defensive coordinator has remained,” Robinson said. “So, the guys just have to adjust to the defense, with a few tweaks here and there.”

Several Powhatan soccer players make ODP By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

occer continues to be an immensely popular sport in the United States. The same can be said for Powhatan and the skill level of the players in the area continue to be showcased. Most recently, several Powhatan soccer players were selected for the Olympic Development Program (ODP) of the Virginia Youth Soccer Association (VYSA). The program starts on the district level. Powhatan belongs to the Central District.

Mickens Continued from page 1B

Mickens said that she hopes to be as involved as Puglia was in the Powhatan community, including with the PACER organization that he helped start last year. PACER’s goal this past year was to raise money for Automated External Defibrillators (AED’s) to be placed in closer proximity to the Powhatan High School athletic stadiums. “(Puglia) left me with some tips with some things to do,” she said. “Part of my job is to learn to my community and be a liaison between Bon Secours and the community. Being involved is part of the gig. I like the athletes to know that I’m around and get to know them. I grew up in a small community. I like that atmosphere and knowing the parents and that is important to the community. We’re also working with PACER that Mike started, dealing with athlete safety. I’m excited to work with those students and decide what the initiatives will be.” Mickens said that in

On the boys side, Ethan Taylor was selected in the 2000 Boys division, along with James Hawkins, Zachary Shelor, Jackson and Davis Tester in the 2002 Boys and Jack Lamm, Andrew Meiler, Carter Perkins and Cary Stancil in the 2004 Boys. On the girls side, Kaitlin McCullough was selected in the 2001 Girls division, Keeley Lamm was selected in the 2002 girls along with Emma Barnett and Shea Ruzich. Powhatan’s Erin Junkman, who plays for Richmond United, and Kayla Siddiqi, who plays for the Richmond Strikers, were also selected

for the 2002 Girls and 2003 Girls pools, respectively. The district pools have 10 training sessions and the last two are inter-district scrimmages, according to the VYSA website. These scrimmages are at the Virginia Soccer Training Center and the performances of the players determine who will comprise the state pool. The state pool teams, if selected on an event-byevent basis, will get the chance to play against teams from North Carolina as well as international teams. Above the state team is the region team. Virginia is a member of Region I, which

the short time that she’s been around the Powhatan athletes and coaches, it has been nothing but a great experience. “I love it,” she said. “Everyone is super nice. They’re all very friendly and welcoming. All the players are very respectful young men and women. I’m having a good time.” One thing that she said she’s excited about that is just around the corner is Friday night football, specifically the night part. Her husband, Sam, is the coach at Trinity Episcopal. The Titans play Friday and sometimes Saturday afternoons, not under the lights of Friday night. Mickens said that one challenge of the athletic trainer is multitasking, especially with the variety of sports that are playing in the fall season. “You have to be flexible, check in with the different sports and understand that schedules change due to weather,” she said. “Right now, it is preseason, with practices in the morning and afternoon and being available at those times. Being new, I’ve got get

to know the kids and their personalities and the coaches and their personalities and philosophies.” When she isn’t attending to the athletes of Powhatan, she said that a lot of her time is taken up by two children, who are three-and-a-half and eight months old, respectively. “My fun is all about watching Disney movies and playing with my kids,” she said. “I like watching sports and love being at all different kinds of sporting events. I always have. “I’m also a coach’s wife, so that’ll present some challenges this year. I won’t be in the stands watching him but I’ll be excited to go to the games that I can go to. The near future is all about football and sports, whether its college or professional. “I have an eightmonth-old and I’m excited to get back into running and get in shape to start training for something in future.”

extends throughout the MidAtlantic and all of New England. “For now, the Fury players will be playing in the district pool, getting the benefit of excellent coaching, while playing with and against excellent players,” wrote Gregg Barnett of Powhatan Soccer Association in an email. There is also a Developmental ODP (D-OPD) that was launched by the VYSA this year two Powhatan players qualified for as well. The D-ODP is designed for players that were born in 2005, 2006 and 2007. It is for both boys and girls and replaces the VYSA Acade-
