Man convicted of embezzling $300,000

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – A Midlothian man was recently convicted of embezzling more than $300,000 from Clyde Childress, a Powhatan man best known for his annual Fourth of July fireworks event and his support of veterans.

Charles “Nick” Nordan, 55, of Midlothian was convicted on Friday, Nov. 18, of six counts of embezzlement and one count of money laundering, according to Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney. Circuit Court Judge Paul W. Cella presided over the three-day bench trial,

which was held in Powhatan Circuit Court.

Cella ordered a presentencing report before sentencing, which will be set after the Dec. 13 docket call, Cerullo said.

Each embezzlement conviction carries a maximum of 20 years and the money laundering has a 40-year maximum punishment, according to the state’s sentencing guidelines. All of the charges Nordan was convicted of are felonies.

According to the charges, Nordan was in business with the victim, Childress, in a company called Hope Solar. The plan was to buy chicken farms, put solar panels on top of the chicken coops and sell the pow-

er to Old Dominion Electric Cooperative, Cerullo said.

Cerullo said that Nordan attracted Childress to the idea by saying the company would train and employ veterans to do the work.

“I certainly think that was very appealing to Clyde because he’s got such a strong feeling for veterans,” Cerullo said.

“Also, it is kind of hard to criticize someone who says they are helping veterans. If you are going to run a scam, if you can hide behind this idea, ‘I am helping veterans,’ people kind of give you the benefit of the doubt.”

Nordan’s attorney, Gretchen Brown, declined to comment

because the case is ongoing and sentencing has not been passed by the judge.

According to Cerullo, over a three-month period in summer 2015, Childress invested $235,500 in cash into the company. There was also another $77,287.54 put in to the company from other sources related to the victim’s investment.

“For example, the victim signed a contract for a piece of property in King and Queen County to put the solar farm on.

Before it closed, Nordan signed a timber contract to timber the land in the amount of $69,000,” Cerullo said. “This deal fell through and the timber company couldn’t timber the land be-

cause Nordan didn’t own it, but Nordan still kept the money.”

Among court records for the case was a proposal submitted for a 10 MV solar farm in Saluda to Old Dominion. It lists Childress as president and Nordan as CEO. The document’s executive summary said that the solar farm would provide “sustainable farming training to veterans through the ‘DOD Armed to Farm’ program.” It also called it a “100 percent owned veteran company,” and later in the document, it said “Nordan has been in the U.S. Army for 35 years.”

POWHATAN – Nicolas Marcucci didn’t need a ton of words to show how much being on horseback meant to him – his smile said it all.

Strapped into an independent stride saddle on the back of a horse named Snoopy, Nicolas, 22, was walked around a large outdoor arena flanked on either side by supporting hands.

Sometimes during the 30minute therapeutic ride, he would smile and sing while others he would respond to questions put to him in simple answers or set his face in concentration.

Nearby, his mother, Maria Nino, walked beside the horse and looked on with a smile, basking in the utter delight of this experience for her son.

Since the ride on one cool November day was only Nicolas’ second time taking a therapeutic riding session at Mesa Vista Therapeutics in Powhatan County, Nino does not yet know what physical benefits might come out of this experience for her son, who has cerebral palsy. But even putting that aside, seeing Nicolas smiling, relaxed and being treated so well by everyone involved with Mesa Vista has already been enough to earn her gratitude.

“When someone gives love to my son, they’ve got my heart. We are happy

here,” said Nino of Moseley.

“The most important thing is Nicolas has good equipment here for his safety, and he’s happy and relaxed.”

Nicolas’ own take on the ride was simple but to the point. “I like here. I like horses,” he said with a huge smile after the ride.

Mesa Vista Therapeutics is a Powhatan-based nonprofit organization that serves traditional riders and riders with a variety of special conditions, including autism, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, spinal cord injury, stroke, Down syndrome, ADD/ADHD, vision/hearing impaired, muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis, said Helen Messenger, founder and president.

Messenger established Mesa Vista Farm in January 1995 and added therapeutic riding a year later. The farm evolved into Mesa Vista Therapeutics Inc. and became a nonprofit organization in November 2005, making its primary mission working with people who have a range of physical, emotional, cognitive and social special needs.

The goal is to match riders who have those limitations with horses that seem to have an endless capacity for gentleness and patience to create a truly special experience for the individuals, she said.

New mural painted in youth room at library

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – For local artist and business owner Susan Ash, getting the opportunity to leave her mark on the Powhatan County Public Library again was a rewarding experience.

It’s been 16 years since Ash of Powhatan first unleashed her creativity on the newly built library by painting a brightly colored underwater mural in the children’s room.

Earlier this month, she again brought her sense of fun and whimsy to the library with a mural painted in the youth activity room, which is a story time and SUSAN ASH activity room used for children ranging from preschoolers to teenagers.

“This was totally different and smaller, thank goodness. It was fun to go a totally different direction and not to be doing my real tight house portraits I do in pen and ink, where every stroke has to mean something,” said Ash, who also owns the Complete Picture in Powhatan.

Rather than a realistic scene, Ash painted a pastoral landscape in strokes of bright blue, lime green, teal, red and yellow that are especially appealing to young children.

The mural combined the bright colors with interesting geometric shapes, such as trees that have triangleshaped tops. Library director Peggy Martin pointed out that an apple tree’s treetop is shaped like a softball field.

“I didn’t really want storybook characters. We didn’t really want to have anything that was going to become

dated,” she said.

She also praised how Ash incorporated unavoidable features affixed to the wall. A happy orange bird is shown just taking off from the top of a fire alarm, which is perched on top of a bright blue cloud. Down below, his feathered friend is standing among grass sprouting out of a thermostat. On a larger tree nearby, another bird can be seen reading a book while sitting on a tree swing.

Ash said the mural’s images are recognizable but not realistic, but the “lack of complete realism encourages creative thought for the viewer, and is simply fun to look upon.”

The mural was commissioned by the Friends of Powhatan County Library, and Ash took on the project for a reduced fee, Martin said. The library had decided to reconfigure the youth activity room, and staff wanted the space to have a focal point that didn’t exclude young people of any ages.

Martin said she invited Ash to look at the room, and they came up with the idea to have the mural in a corner that would be a great place for Caroline Shoenthal, youth services coordinator, to hold storytimes.

“Caroline really likes the new configuration of the room because it is more flexible. We have little carpet tiles for the toddlers and a large rug can roll out for babies,” Martin said. “But this room is not just slanted for children. It is aimed at all ages of youth. The teens meet in here and they like it. It sparks their creativity.”

Ash said it took about 28 hours to paint the mural on the weekend of Nov. 4 to 6 and about 50 hours were involved in the project when you add design time.

“I love my library. I saw this library when it was under construction and before there were any walls up.

I took a tour of it and it totally captivated me. And who doesn’t love libraries?” Ash said.

Tanzanian visitors share stories of need and hope Contributed Report

P

owhatan County recently welcomed Frank Mganga and Lupi Mwaipalo, both pastors and educators, who not only impact hundreds of people through their own ministries in Tanzania, Africa, but who also represent the hands and feet in the work of Together for Tanzania (TFT), a Powhatan-based nonprofit organization.

“The mentorship, leadership and commitment of these men are invaluable and make our ministries possi¬ble,” said Jeanette Brannan, executive director of Together for Tanzania (TFT).

Mganga and Mwaipalo were special guests at the annual TFT fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 12. The Safari Adventure Din¬ner and Auction was held at The County Seat Restaurant, where the decor and mood was decorated with a jungle and wild animals theme.

In addition to their prominent presence at the dinner/auction, Mganga and Mwaipalo spoke to various church, civic and school groups in Powhatan, as well as throughout the Richmond metropolitan areas during their visit, which lasted through Tuesday, Nov. 15.

The men shared their stories of growing up extremely poor with little hope for a promising future to rising above their levels of dire poverty to become well-educated and effective contrib¬utors to their communities and country. They attribute the drastic change in their lives to God’s placing loving, compassionate people in their path.

Both Mganga and Mwaipalo remember owning no shoes, having no hope for an education and not knowing when or from where their next meal would come.

Although they grew up far away from one another in eastern Tanzania, they each had similar childhood experiences, which much later became the driving force for their passion to serve others.

Mganga’s father passed away before he was born, his mother could not afford to pay his educational expenses, and clothes and food were day-to-day challenges.

“God’s hand was in every difficult situation simply because God sent the right people at the right time to meet my needs,” he said.

Mganga first connected with Together for Tanzania just at the right time as he was desperate for funds to pay his university graduation fees. With that problem solved by a spontaneous donation from the 2010 Together for Tanzania mission team, he was able to graduate with honors from Mount Meru University with a Bachelor of Arts in Christian education. With continued support from Together for Tanzania, Mganga completed, in 2014, his Mas¬ters in Education with a specialty in instruction and curric¬ulum development. Today he is among the most respected people and points of contact for Christian ministry.

Recently Mganga felt led to leave his former church, which he grew very rapidly and where he built an exemplary pre¬school. Mganga has now begun the

plant of a new church, Kilimanjaro Baptist Church, in Moshi in northern Tanza¬nia. Already the church has 60 to 70 members with many children and youth. The next step is to raise money for the purchase of land and eventually the construction of a church building.

Currently, they are leasing a room in a building.

Frank Mganga and Lupi Mwaipalo, above, recently visited Powhatan representing Together for Tanzania. Below Mganga is shown with his family and youth from his church.

Typical of most Tanzanian pastors, both Mganga and Mwaipalo are bi-vocational. Mganga works for a large organization as project manager overseeing 16 schools for refugees from the Congo. This work takes him four hours from his home and church in Moshi.

Mganga is married to Edith and has one daughter, Malaika, age 4. He enjoys reading books, public speaking and broadening Christian ministries.

Mwaipalo has a similar story to tell of his childhood. When he was 12 years old, his father and mother passed away during the same year. He was cared for by a Roman Catholic youth center, which paid his secondary school fees. Mwaipalo entered the Catholic center as a Baptist because his father had been a Baptist pastor; however, the Catholic center quickly recognized Mwaipalo’s leadership and Bible knowledge and assigned him as a leader to teach the Bible to the youth.

The Catholic center continued to fund Mwaipalo’s education in 1998 for studies at the Baptist Seminary of Eastern Africa, where he received a Diploma of

Theology. After completing seminary in 2002, he started a church called Ebenezer Bap¬tist Church. In 2008 he attended Mount Meru University in Arusha and graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Christian education degree. That same year, Mwaipalo started a second church, Lubela Baptist Church near the border of Malawi.

Mwaipalo was ordained as pastor in 2002. “The same year God started showing me a vision of starting a school to help or¬phans and other most needy children receive an education. My passion for helping others was highly influenced by my own experience and care at the Catholic center,” said Mwaipalo.

In 2013, Mwaipalo started a preschool in his front yard for 35 children. Because of the growth of this group, it recent¬ly moved into Ebenezer Baptist Church. This “front yard” class of pre-schoolers has inspired him to initiate plans for the founding of Save Life English Medium School in partnership with TFT. This school will include preschool through secondary school and target the most vulnerable and disadvantaged children in the Kyela District in southern Tanzania.

Mwaipalo is a point of contact for Together for Tanzania caring for and mentoring students getting an educa¬tion through sponsorships of the nonprofit. He and Mganga often serves at translator for people from the United States.

Mwaipalo is married to Tumaini and has two children, Evelyn, 10, and Charles, 4. He has seven other children, mostly orphans, living in his home. Mwaipalo is senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church and Lubele Baptist Church and is a theological teacher in a local Baptist college.

To provide for his family and all the other children who live with him and his wife, Mwaipalo is a farmer growing rice, corn, and cassava. He also has over 200 banana trees and a growing tree farm. Cassava, similar to a sweet potato, is his cash crop; the rest he harvests to feed the household. He plans for the tree farm to be an investment to help pay for Save Life English Medium School.

“If anyone saw the movie or read the book, Queen from Katwe, you will understand how I compare Coach to Mganga and Mwaipalo and our other TFT leaders who serve as mentor and inspiration to so many disadvantaged chil¬dren in Tanzania, including our 80 students being educated through TFT,” said Brannan. “These men serve as parents, teachers and counselors to all our students. They check on the students and their families, the students’ progress at their schools, and keep us informed on a frequent basis the condition and situation of our students.

They are the glue that literally holds many of these families together.”

Middle schoolers recreate frenzy of rush to claim land Seventh-graders in the history classes of teachers Kim Wasosky and Melissa Jamison got a chance to stake their claim at Pocahontas Middle School when they recently participated in their own “land run.”

Baby’s First Christmas

FILE PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND

Seeing how people decorate homes and churches for Christmas is the focus of the Christmas House Tour and Craft Show on Dec. 3.

Continued from page 1A

Goodwyn said.

This year’s tour will feature the return of one home and one church previously on the tour, the home of the Rev. Travis Keith and Rocky Oak Church, which dates to about 1746. The tour also will feature the addition of four new homes and two new churches. The homes are Mosby Plantation, which belongs to the Sanders family and dates to about 1740; the homes of the Clark and Watman families, and Hatcher’s Plantation, home of the Llewellyn family, circa 1808. Also on the tour are St. James Chapel, circa 1882, with a Birdland Sculpture Gardens and the historic Miles House, circa 1811, and Muddy Creek School House at Muddy Creek Baptist Church.

“The first appeal would be the historical old homes. They like to see how people have restored them and what they look like. They can learn the history of the county through them,” she said.

“With the new ones, I think people like to see those as well – how we have evolved with our construction to the new homes.”

SECOND ANTIOCH BAPTIST CHURCH 1059 Dorset Road Powhatan, VA 23139 Reverend Mark A. Divens, Sr. Pastor

Praise and Worship Service Sunday School 9:45-10:45 Sunday Morning Worship will begin at 11:00 a.m.

It is also simply exciting to see how people decorate for the holidays and embrace the Christmas spirit, she added.

Keith, who is a diehard Christmas decorating fan, said he decided to have his home on the tour again at the request of visitors last year who were amazed at the amount of holiday paraphernalia he owns.

With multiple Christmas trees and displays scattered throughout the home and in an old log cabin near the main home, Keith his family started decorating shortly before Halloween to have everything ready by this week.

“I love Christmas. I love people being able to share in it and get a little bit of its spirit,” he said, adding that his wife and four children love it as much as he does.

Keith, who is one of the home tour organizers, said he likes the level of excitement he has been getting from the participants showing off their homes on the tour this year and hopes visitors will appreciate learning about Powhatan and its history.

“I know a lot of people from Richmond came last year. They enjoyed the history and the country aspect of things. Being from

a city, they don’t get the country side of things.

They get a piece of the peace and quiet rather than their busy lives. It is a little more laid back than it is in Richmond,” he said.

Visitors will also have the chance to explore the craft fair at the events center, where vendors will sell items such as jams and jellies, clothing, jewelry, purses, lamps, ornaments and more, Goodwyn said.

Part of the Christmas spirit the event brings is also in the good it does as a fundraiser. In its first two years, home tour proceeds benefited the building of the Powhatan Food Pantry, Goodwyn said. but with that building built and paid for, the focus this year is on the general fund, which helps people in need all year long.

“People think everything is so nice in the county and it’s not. We have people who are struggling. They can’t find jobs or they don’t have a car to get to a job,” she said.

mals and children. A lot of people I work with aren’t as fortunate as I and others are, and so what I do allows them to experience something that maybe they couldn’t if there weren’t people like me,� Messenger said.

Mesa Vista is sometimes compared to Lonesome Dove Equestrian Center, a Powhatan nonprofit that uses free therapeutic horseback rides to help veterans with emotional and physical issues. Messenger said that she thinks Lonesome Dove does a great job of helping veterans, and she wants to do her best to aid everyone else.

Mesa Vista hasn’t reached the level of financial independence where Messenger can offer the therapy sessions for free, so most families do have to pay something. However, she has people who donate to pay for lessons, including some family members of riders who want to help out, and has been able to offer a few scholarships. She also uses traditional lessons to help bring in money to pay the bills and keep the nonprofit going.

Like Lonesome Dove, Mesa Vista is heavily dependent on volunteers from the community. In addition to needing volunteers to act as side walkers during lessons, they sometimes help with care of the horses and repairs around the facility.

She loves that many of her traditional students volunteer and are a strong presence in the nonprofit.

Messenger said she also relies heavily on her staff members, Kelly Kersey, assistant barn manager and lead instructor, and Jessica Steffens, junior instructor.

Finding their stride With individuals that Mesa Vista Therapeutics helps, therapy session activities have to be designed looking at what they are capable of now and what Messenger and her instruction staff think they may be capable of later, she said.

The riders range from ages 18 months to 75 years old and from people who are there for a

short time to those who will be riding at Mesa Vista for years, she said.

While she knows the impact therapeutic riding can have on people with special needs, she still is surprised and moved by just how profound that effect can be sometimes. “With some, there is no way I would have ever thought that I won’t have to walk alongside them or maybe they can canter a little bit or even go over little 6-inch jumps. When you started out, you just didn’t see it, but as time goes on and they get in a routine, they get more confident and they try new things within safe limits,� she said.

The ways individuals will benefit from the therapy aren’t always evident in the beginning, Messenger said. Building up strength in the core and the legs is one common benefit, which often can help improve their balance. Horseback riding also can help loosen up riders’ bodies and increase flexibility because the gait of a horse walking mimics that of a human’s walk and with the help of games and activities that help stretch them out.

Added to that is the benefit to riders’ emotional health because of the pure joy most of them get out of the experience and the boost of confidence, especially when they reach a new milestone, she added.

Nino said that Nicolas had been wanting to ride for several years but it wasn’t really an option for him. Nicolas aged out of public school in June 2016 and stays home with his mother full-time now, she said. She knew that his dream of horseback riding was important to him and kept asking their social workers for assistance in finding a program.

So when a new social worker referred her to Mesa Vista so Nicolas’ dream could finally come true, he was thrilled and so was she. He had his first ride on a Saturday and his second on the following Tuesday, and in between, “he was asking to come here again almost 30,000 times in three days,� his mother said with a smile.

Physical success Gwen and Jim Smuts

Mesa Vista Therapeutics founder and president Helen Messenger holds Jonathan Smuts during a therapy ride while his parents, Gwen and Jim Smuts, walk beside and Nicole Radford, a volunteer, leads the horse, Snoopy. Below, Jonathan’s brother, Greg, has his own equine therapy session with Jessica Steffens, junior instructor, and his favorite horse, Oliver.

of Henrico County started their sons Greg, 24, and Jonathan, 22, in therapeutic horseback riding programs in other counties when they were young and tried a few of them out over the years. The family started doing sessions at Mesa Vista in 2010 because Messenger was willing to work with their sons, who were getting older and growing past what other programs allowed.

The Smuts have stayed with the activity so long because they saw such an amazing impact on both of their children, Gwen Smuts said. Greg, who has Down syndrome, started at age 8 with a program in Henrico County, and within four lessons, his mom said he went from “really obviously swaybacked to some really good posture.�

Meanwhile, his younger brother, Jonathan, who has cerebral palsy, watched Greg tak-

ing lessons and “the want was so obvious in his eyes,� Gwen Smuts said. “All they let Jonathan do was lay on the horse, but he was just so pleased at any contact,� she said.

In his early years, Jonathan had very stiff muscles, but within 10 minutes of getting on a horse, that would change. “In a half hour lesson he could go from so stiff and in pain to relaxed and going with the motion of the horse,� Gwen Smuts said.

Jim Smuts also noted that he believes the core strength Jonathan has built up because of riding helps his son to cough, which aids in avoiding pneumonia, and that the movement of the horse helped his hips develop in a more natural way than many wheelchair bound people experience. “Orthopedically, he hasn’t had the issues

some other children with cerebral palsy have had, and we attribute that to horseback riding,� he said.

Unlike Nicolas Marcucci, who can use Mesa Vista’s new independent stride saddle to ride, Jonathan doesn’t have the upper body or neck support that would require, Jim Smuts said.

Instead, he back rides with Messenger, meaning she sits behind him in the saddle and literally acts as his stabilizer from head to toe. If there aren’t any volunteers available, his parents act as his sidewalkers to help make sure the riders don’t slide too much either way, while a fourth person leads the horse at a walk around the arena.

Even after years of riding, both boys still get really excited about their visits to Mesa Vista, Jim Smuts said. Jonathan starts smiling as soon as the family car hits Judes Ferry Road, and Greg talks about Oliver, the horse he rides, all week.

For someone who has to always wait for somebody to do anything, to be in charge of a horse is empowering, Gwen Smuts added.

And because the grounds have both indoor and outdoor arenas, Mesa Vista can work with individuals all year long, meaning the boys don’t have to be disappointed or experience setbacks in their physical therapy, Jim Smuts said. Temperatures, both hot and cold, are big considerations to the Smuts family, so having continuity with the lessons without having to worry about their safety is a huge benefit.

Mesa Vista made a huge leap forward in 2016 with the addition

of the independent stride saddle that Nicolas uses during sessions to the nonprofit’s equipment list, Messenger said.

This summer, the Moss on the James chapter of the P. Buckley Moss Society sponsored its annual benefit with proceeds going to Mesa Vista.

Through various activities, the group raised $6,700 for Mesa Vista.

The money was used to fund the saddle, which cost a little under $6,000 and is “not something you go out and buy,�

Messenger said.

The independent stride saddle uses the sturdy base of an Australian saddle and then puts attachments on it that are all removable depending on the needs of the rider, Messenger said. It has a back brace, head rest, arm attachments and handles to wrap the fingers around. “It affords the opportunity to reach out to another whole population that wants to ride but needs something to keep them in the saddle. This certainly fits the bill,�

Messenger said.

Her next goal to increase accessibility is to purchase a special lift for those who can’t stand at all but would still benefit from therapeutic horseback riding. At a cost of about $13,000 it is more of a longterm goal for now, she said.

Messenger said she was also thrilled when she learned the annual Celebration of the Horse event that will be held this spring will include three therapy classes in its horse show.

Citizen turnout likely to affect change

By Laura McFarland News Editor

W

hen people get burned too often, they shy away from the fire if they know what’s good for them.

That doesn’t mean they will douse the flames altogether, but they will be more cautious and watchful around it.

That analogy kept coming to mind when I was thinking about how people view government at all levels. At some point in time, most people probably feel they have been burned by government, whether it be at the local, state or federal level, or all three.

So when it comes to broken promises, failures to live up to expectations, or the feeling that one or more of those levels is getting involved in your business, government actions can trigger some strong emotions.

We definitely saw that with the recent presidential election, when so many people turned out to say they were tired of the way things had been that they would rather put their trust in a complete dark horse who had never been a part of the system and was promising change.

Citizen interaction with Powhatan County government recently took front and center when it became known that the county was looking at a proposal to acquire water and wastewater infrastructure in the Founders Bridge area from the Founders Bridge Utility Company.

The county wouldn’t have paid for the infrastructure, which is basically the pipes in the ground, but staff members had estimated it would cost about

$795,000 to add wells, a new pump station and water treatment.

That is the simplified version, but it does capture that the board had a decision to make.

When word got out about this decision being a possibility, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors started getting calls and had citizens show up at its Oct. 24 meeting to make it clear that the residents had no desire whatsoever for the county to get hold of the infrastructure.

Among the many reasons citizens made known why they were against the acquisition were questions of the county’s motivation; fears about rising utilities costs; distrust of some residents being put on well water and retaining quality; and general feelings that the county would be “bailing out” a developer they felt had an obligation to fix the issue of providing enough water to the area.

There were more reasons – many of them in fact – but, as a result of that early push-back, the board didn’t publically discuss the move and instead decided to hold a citizens’ meeting on the issue first.

On Thursday, Nov. 10, more than 150 people filled the auditorium of the Village Building for a citizens’ meeting on the issue with Pat Weiler, county administrator, who had originally proposed the idea to the supervisors.

Weiler told residents then that she proposed the deal because she believed the residents would have more bargaining power with their local government than with a private company. Quite a number of people audibly and even vis-

ibly scoffed at that notion.

She gave a thorough presentation on the thought process, background and timeline involved in the situation. And she did it all while being interrupted and questioned by residents who were understandably upset for the duration of a meeting that lasted more than two and a half hours.

If I am remembering correctly, maybe two people had something positive to say about the county government’s consideration of this idea, and even that was more in the way of acknowledging intentions rather than advocating them.

Weiler pointed out this was one of the biggest, if not the biggest, turnouts over an issue the county had seen in her time there. The next closest was the roughly 75 people who came out in the fall of 2015 to discuss broadband. Three supervisors also were present for the meeting and witnessed first-hand the overwhelming rejection of the idea by local citizens.

The issue was scheduled to come back before the board at the next meeting on Monday, Nov. 28, which occurred after press time for this edition.

So why write a column before I am even sure of the meeting’s outcome?

That would be because of an email this writer and many Powhatan residents who signed up for updates at that meeting received from Weiler on Wednesday, Nov. 23. The county administrator explained that she would be recommending the board does not approve the resolution to acquire the utilities infrastructure.

Magic of a concert holds appeal

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Garth Brooks was in town last weekend, and he packed them in for a four-show run at the Richmond Coliseum. As I watched the throngs of fans waiting in line to see the legendary country superstar and his wife Trisha Yearwood, I realized just how long it had been since I attended a concert.

With age, I’ve become more of a street festival kind of guy, and I often see bands in various venues around town. But buying tickets and planning an evening around a concert is something I haven’t done in a very long time.

But, there was a time, and I was fortunate enough to grow up in an era of concerts and festivals that featured every artist known to man, all in or within a stone’s throw of Richmond.

Trying to list the best of them is a hopeless task for there are too many to mention, but there are those that stand out and pass the test of time.

I suppose you can only experience James Brown in full funk mode if you were lucky enough to see him in concert. Richmond was a regular stop on the Godfather of Soul’s annual tours, and a night at The Mosque with Brown was a full-tilt, high-energy rhythm and blues excursion like no other.

I distinctly remember sitting in a darkened Mosque among the usual pre-show rattle when a hint of movement caught my eye.

Darkened images took the stage, picked up instruments and stood silent as a small tuxedoed announcer introduced Brown.

At that moment, it was if a switch had

been turned and a bolt of energy hit the Mosque as lights came on and a stage in constant motion came alive.

The driving beat and full-throated horns of “Cold Sweat” set the tone for the evening, producing a wave of funk that permeated the soul. A primal thud penetrated your chest, and cold chills went up your spine as the King of Soul solidified his long-held title as the hardest working man in show business.

At the end of three sets, you left the show with a pleasant sense of exhaustion.

In the years since those James Brown concerts, I’ve attended numerous events that featured some of the biggest names of pop music and culture.

And there are some great ones that come to mind. Led Zeppelin at Hampton Coliseum, Bob Dylan at the Mosque, Lovin’ Spoonful at McDonough Gym at Georgetown University and James Taylor in Greensboro are only a small representation of the winners.

And only the true locals will remember The Allman Brothers at The String Factory, Fleetwood Mac at UVA, Chicago at the Mosque, The Bruce Hornsby Band at the Tobacco Company and The Showmen at Tantilla Gardens, just to name a few of the classics.

Point is, after all these years, I get why those thousands of people waited in line to see Garth and Trisha, and can still appreciate the magic of a good concert.

Seeing the excited looks on the faces of fans waiting to see their favorite artist confirms that the simplest pleasures in life sometimes produce the most joy, and, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

nity feedback they received, the huge turnout at the meeting and Weiler’s recommendation – the resolution will indeed have been voted down. At most, I could imagine the board might defer the issue for awhile if they really saw merit but wanted to do more research. My money is still on voting it down.

The reason would simply be that while the board does sometimes have to make some hard decisions people don’t agree with, citizen participation can be so lagging sometimes that board members really do take note when citizens turn out in volume like that.

When 75 people showed up to say “Broadband is important to us,” the board made it a priority. So when 150 people show up to say “We don’t want you involved in our utilities,” I honestly believe they will respect that as well.

If November 2016 has shown us anything, it should be that people do have a voice and it does matter when they use it.

Whether it is exercising your right to vote or coming out to a community meeting to share your opinions, it is worth the effort if you want to affect change.

I know the supervisors have expressed they would be happy to see even a fraction of that interest come budget time, when they are dealing with decisions about how to allocate tens of millions in taxpayer dollars. That’s just something to keep in mind in spring 2017 if you find yourself thinking that they don’t have any interest in your thoughts on the subject.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Resident agrees that drive to help others drops after the holidays Dear Editor, Hello, my name is Connie Morrison and I just wanted to write you to tell you how refreshing I thought the article about the holidays you wrote last Friday (Nov. 9) was. I completely agreed with you and have noticed for myself how people tend to only give around the holidays instead of making it a priority year-round. Nowadays, people tend to be only focused on their own lives and aren’t as focused on how they can serve their communities. We aren’t as tied to our communities as we could be.

But then around the holidays, our communities see an increase in activity as people come together to service others.

They experience that unspoken charge to go out of their way to make donations or acts of kindness part of their routine. Something special happens when we come together and put others’ needs ahead of our own. But then once the holidays end, the charge to think about others is not as emphasized so there’s a decline in the amount of good works done by the general populace. If we were to encourage the production of programs that called for the doing of good year-round, we could create stronger ties with our community by fostering relationships as well as creating a selfless atmosphere.

As you’ve said, we are lucky enough to live in a community that genuinely cares about the wellbeing of others and generally being neighborly. But I think if we made giving to others or performing small acts of kindness the norm year-round, we could make our wonderful Powhatan even better and grow together as a community. As I stated, I just wanted to let you know that I completely agreed with your article and think that creating a change starts with the individual. Once one person starts to take an active role, it will start a chain reaction and only betters the community.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

New signs to be installed around county Contributed Report Monacan Soil and Water Conservation District, in partnership with the Middle James Roundtable, is installing signs around Powhatan County to highlight the practice of stream exclusion some cattle farmers are implementing on their farm.

Eligible farmers can apply for this and other best management practices within the Virginia Agricultural Cost Share Program (VACS) through their

local soil and water conservation district. Monacan District encompasses Goochland and Powhatan counties.

A watershed roundtable consists of stakeholders who have a vested interest in their community and are concerned about local water quality. The territory of the Middle James River ranges from part of Greene County to a small portion of Bedford through Prince Edward and Chesterfield into Henrico and back along I-64 to Greene.

This area includes a population of 1.5

million Virginians.

The Middle James Roundtable is made up of a steering and executive committee. The steering committee involves participants from a wide range of interests, including elected officials, local government staff, the agricultural community, businesses, developers, environmental groups, and interested citizens. Information about activities is available at www.mjrt.org as well as the MJRT Facebook page.

Clean water is key to maintaining a

high quality of life in Virginia. Through involvement in the Middle James Roundtable, participants work together to ensure clean water for drinking, business and recreation. These signs are an example of how the roundtable and the district are promoting positive strides made by local farmers to improve water quality.

For more information about districts, the VACS program or the Middle James Roundtable, call the Monacan office at 804-556-4936.

Sheriff’s office repurposes van Contributed Report CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS

Sheriff Brad Nunnally of the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office recently announced the completion of the repurposing of one of the office’s vehicles.

In 2010, a full size van was purchased using a grant. The prior administration purchased the vehicle for surveillance use. Now six years later, the van, which was rarely used, has under 1,000 miles on it. Meanwhile, the office has been relying on using cars to transport the often large number of prisoners to and from jail to court and back. Many times two and three prisoners are being transported by a single deputy and multiple vehicles are being sent to the same facility to pick up that

Shown above, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Homecoming court included Olivia Klahn, reigning queen; Jessi Townsend, Queen candidate, and Abbey Goodwyn, this year’s new queen.

day’s defendants. This has been a necessary, but unsafe and inefficient method to get the job done.

The sheriff has had the surveillance equipment stripped out of the van. This equipment was swapped for radios, lights, and stripping. A used $18,000, high end prisoner transport insert was located in Ohio. The insert was purchased and shipped to Powhatan for $1,000. Drug forfeiture money was used for this purchase. The sheriff’s office now has a basically new, very expensive and useful piece of equipment that is worth around $60,000 to $65,000 but didn’t cost the county any money. It will be an asset to the sheriff’s office for many years to come.

cause when we did the search warrant on his house we saw his uniforms, pictures and military stuff,” Cerullo said.

“We did not call the army only because it wasn’t relevant to the case against him.”

The commonwealth produced evidence and witnesses that showed Nordan used company funds to buy a wide range of personal items such as a 2003 Jaguar for himself; a 2005 Harley Davidson motorcycle; a 2015 Chevy pickup truck; a vacation to

Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina for his son on a company credit card; dental work for himself; $35,000 to pay of a personal loan, and several thousand dollars to refurbish a building in Powhatan County that the defendant owned.”

“All said and done, the commonwealth proved that over $300,000 in company funds were spent in a three month period in the summer of last year.

Not all of this was stolen but with this much money it’s difficult to say what was spent illegitimately and what was not,” Cerullo said.

During a visit last year,

one of Childress’ family members was the first to really question Nordan’s story and took Childress to the bank to investigate, Cerullo said. It was then they realized about $300,000 was gone and contacted the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office.

Cerullo said there is little chance any of the money can be recovered.

Nordan was arrested in February 2016 but released on $1,000 bond and has remained free ever sense during the trial.

Children’s author Skypes with BSH students Contributed Report Kindergarten through sixth grade students at Blessed Sacrament Hugeunot Catholic School recently celebrated the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi by taking part in a Skype conversation with world renowned author and illustrator Tomie dePaola.

DePaola read his book, “The Song of Francis,” and answered several questions from the children who gathered on Oct. 4 in the library.

DePaola has been published for 50 years and has written and/or illustrated nearly 250 books, including “Strega Nona,” “26 Fairmount Avenue,” “The Art Lesson,” and “Christmas Remembered.”

More than 15 million copies of his books have sold worldwide.

DePaola and his work have been recognized with the Smithson Medal from the Smithsonian Institution, the Kerlan Award from the University of Minnesota for his “singular attainment in children’s literature,” and the Regina Medal from the Catholic Library Association.

He was also the United States nominee in 1990 for the Hans Chris-

tian Andersen Award in illustration. The American Library Association has honored him with a Caldecott Honor Book, a Newbery Honor Book, premier annual awards for picture book illustration and children’s book writing respectively, and the 2011 Laura Ingalls Wilder Award for his

“substantial and lasting contribution to literature for children.”

The University of Connecticut, Georgetown University and Pratt Institute, among others, have granted him honorary doctoral degrees. In 1999, he was selected for the New Hampshire’s Governor’s

Arts Award of Living Treasure.

DePaola lives in New London, New Hampshire and works in a renovated 200-year-old barn.

Blessed Sacrament had the connection to dePaola through Cat Ringling, BSH’s communications coordinator

and girls volleyball coach, said Mimi Ziletti, librarian. Ringling’s aunt is a long-time friend of the author and went to the junior prom with him in high school.

“I shared his books with the students before we Skyped and they came up with questions to ask him. They all

wanted to know if he actually did some of the things he wrote about in his books since some of them are based on his childhood,” Ziletti said.

“He is Catholic as well.

Tomie read the book to the students while I showed them the pictures, which they really enjoyed.”

Youth and talent for Indians girls in ‘16-17

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

T

he season is just around the corner for the Powhatan Indians girls basketball team and they have had two successful tune-ups against Amelia and, most recently, against Central Virginia Homeschool on Nov. 22.

Powhatan girls basketball coach Paulette Bowman said that she saw some good things in both scrimmages for her squad.

“The thing with a scrimmage, you’re playing against people who don’t know the offense,” she said. “We have

some good points and some points where we didn’t look so good. We have to learn how to take care of the ball.

There were some plays where we did take care of the ball. We got into our transition and sometimes we didn’t.

We had some bright spots, but it also showed us that we need to work on some things.”

The Indians are coming off a 6-17 season last year, but only graduated one senior, Courtney Westerman.

Overall, Powhatan remains a young team, but one that has some playoff basketball experience under the belts after advancing to the second round of the Conference 20 tournament last season before falling to eventual Group 4A state champion Monacan.

While Powhatan’s youth is still all over the roster, Bowman said she’s excited that the Indians have gained some height this year.

“They’re young playing wise,” she said. “But, they’re talented top to bottom, skills wise. We have a lot to learn and this season is a progression within the season. Our goal is to get better every game, to show some type of improvement. We’ve got height for the first time, so that’s a plus. But, they have to play because they weren’t there last year. We just have to wait until everyone grows into the system. We’re trying something a little different. see HOOPS page 2B

Powhatan’s Snyder shines at Shooting Star Showcase

Powhatan’s Gatlin Snyder (00) fends off an attack during the Shooting Star Showcase at River City Sportsplex in Chesterfield on Nov. 26. Snyder played for the U19 Panthers United Silver team and her play was on display for assembled college coaches.

A premier field hockey tournament took place at River City Sportsplex on Nov. 25-27.

Powhatan was well represented at the Shooting Star Field Hockey Showcase in Indians goalie Gatlin Snyder.

Snyder was playing for the U19 Panthers United Silver, one of the 174 teams that were competing at the showcase in front of 129 coaches.

“The Panthers are a club team organization that practices directly after school, every day, year round,” Snyder said. “I started playing indoor (field hockey) this year and got affiliated with the Panthers and was asked to play for their tournament team. That’s how I got into the showcase.”

Snyder’s team went 3-0-3 over the three days of play. The Panthers allowed just four goals over the course of the tournament, which highlights Snyder’s high level of play.

“I played pretty well,” she said. “It was probably the best length of time in a row playing that well.”

The competition that Snyder faced was much higher than she faces during the season as goalie for the Powhatan Indians, which makes the numbers she put up even more impressive.

“It was very different than playing for high school,” she said. “We had girls that are all on the same general level.”

Snyder said that one perk of playing in the tournament was that there were many representatives from various colleges on hand, including Virginia Comsee SNYDER page 2B

Powhatan indoor track gearing up for season

t was an unusual sight at the Powhatan indoor track team’s practice on the final day of school prior to the holiday break last week.

The team was running around the football field, which was partitioned in half at the 50-yard-line with orange cones, trying to tag each other when someone leaked across that orange cone divider.

The goal was a familiar one to anyone who has played capture the flag before.

This version, however, was more capturing the Frisbee, which were stationed at each end zone.

While the game was all about having fun and giving the team an enjoyable activity outside of their usual practice regimen, it did have an added benefit.

Many of the sprinters were benefitting from the sudden sprints and stops

They’re still trying to feel each other out. I’m looking forward to the season, good or bad. We’re going to go out there and have some fun.”

Kylee Maiolo will be the offensive leader once again and she showcased her skills against the Patriots on Nov. 22. Early in the scrimmage, she took a turnover coast-tocoast, knifed through the defense and put a layup right into the basket.

Maiolo showcased her scoring capability last season in her sophomore year.

She scored 23 points in the A.S.S.I.S.T. tournament at Meadowbrook High School on Dec. 12 against Kecoughtan High School.

She also put up 16

monwealth University and University of Richmond, just to name a few.

Having those college eyes on the players can take some getting used to, she said.

“Every once in a while,

and the long distance runners were gaining endurance running after their teammates, trying to tag them.

Powhatan coach Hedy Keller said that she was very excited for the track team this year.

“We are 50-plus strong,” she said. “It’s the strongest we’ve been for the indoor program.”

Keller said that she believes that fun events such as the capture the flag are good not only for skills building but also for team building as well.

“Day after day of practicing could get monotonous,” she said. “I think it’s important for them to have some fun and blow off some steam. This brings them together as a whole team, which is really important.”

With those numbers, the Indians will have increased competition due to limitations on seats on the bus for travel to meets.

“The bus will only hold

so many,” she said. “It’s increasing the competition for the kids, since only the top two are guaranteed spots. So, they’re working really hard.”

Last season, the Indians had a strong showing at the Conference 20 championships at the Arthur Ashe Center.

The girls 4x200 relay team of Amy Adcock, Danielle Bigham, Mallory Keck-Wilson and Hannah Adams won the conference title in the race with a time of 2:01.48, besting second place Huguenot.

A week later, the team set a school record of 1:58.65 at the Group 4A East regional meet.

The 4x400 team was second in the conference meet, and the 4x800 team of Caileigh Dintino, Ashley Cooper, Megan Remillard and Ashley Van Buskirk were third.

Dintino, who had a strong season for cross country, was fifth in the 3200 meter run at the con-

points in the Conference 20 tournament opener against Dinwiddie in the 58-53 win and 12 points earlier in the year against Western Albemarle.

“She’s the key,” Bowman said. “She’s going to give you 110-percent, so hopefully with her effort, everyone else will follow.”

Outside of Maiolo, Bowman pointed out a few other players that she expects to have some significant contributions this season for the Indians.

“We’re expecting big things out of Kelsey (Mawyer) and Maggie (Salomonsky),” she said.

“They might fly under the radar until they get comfortable and confident.

They need to gain some confidence on the floor.”

Salomonsky had a strong showing with 10

points in the Conference 20 opener against Dinwiddie last year.

Bowman said that the goal is simple this season—win.

“If a coach doesn’t tell you (the goal is) to win, they’re lying,” she said.

“Our goal is to win and to improve and get better.”

The Indians will begin the 2016-17 season on Dec. 6 at home against Monticello.

After the home opener, the Indians will hit the road for three straight games.

Powhatan will face Orange on Dec. 8, Midlothian on Dec. 9 and then against Goochland on Dec. 12.

Then, the Indians will host Louisa on Dec. 16 Billy Fellin can be reached at wfellin@powPHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN hatantoday.com or on Powhatan’s Caroline Adkins (44) got a quick put-back against CVHAA. Twitter @BillyFellin.

you look over and there’s rows of colleges watching your games,” she said.

“But, it’s not something you focus on.”

Snyder said that she’d like to go to play for the Spiders or Longwood University.

The rest of the year will be all about indoor field hockey for Snyder,

which she said is similar to playing outdoors, but without lifting of the ball.

Snyder will also be playing with the Panthers on another tournament team in the spring.

The tournament experience isn’t just helpful for Snyder, but she brings a lot of valuable experience back to the Powhatan

ference meet last year.

Lindsay Fanz, who had a state berth in cross country, also will be looking to make a statement during the indoor season.

In the field events for the girls, Ashley Trevillian was third in the high jump and Lindsay Overholser was seventh.

Rebecca Jordan was fifth in the shot put as well.

Overall, the girls team finished third in the conference.

On the boys side, Will Schwartz returns this year to continue his strong performances in the shot put.

He qualified for the state tournament in the shot put and was second in the conference meet and fifth at the region meet. Justin Stoner was fourth in the conference meet in the shot put.

The boys 4x800 team was third in the conference meet last year, Chase Miffleton had a fifth-place finish in the 3200 and Alec Hillen was ninth in the 1600 meters.

Indians.

“It’s really helpful seeing the different players,” she said. “A lot of people play differently and there’s so much different that you can pick up. Being out there when there are 100 some teams, everyone’s playing differently. You can bring a lot back to the high school

All-in-all, the Indians sent 20 athletes to the region meet and one to the state meet last year.

“I think the kids have a better understanding of what indoor is and they’re training differently now,” Keller said. “I think we have the opportunity to set some records and break some records.”

Keller is joined on the coaching staff this year by Paul Smartschan and Ernie Henderson and the three will be focusing on specific disciplines.

“With so many different things going on…you’ve got sprinters, hurdlers, throwers, distance runners, high jumpers…it helps to have one coach taking care of one group and one coach taking care of another group and one coach taking care of another,” Keller said.

Smartschan said that the distance runners are particularly looking strong this year.

“I was telling Coach Keller about this and it’s a

team and make the program better.”

Snyder was named first team All-Conference 20 and honorable mention on the Group 4A East team this year.

Snyder posted 11 shutouts this season.

The Indians went to the wire against Midlothian in the confer-

team with a lot of depth,” he said. “Whether it’s long distance, mid-distance, sprinters, jumpers, hurdlers or field events, it looks to be a team with a lot of depth. That’s a great thing for an indoor track team.”

While there are veterans that are expecting continued success, Keller said there are some other athletes that should find success as well.

“I think that Tyler Roebuck is going to surprise us this year,” she said. “He’s gone from long distance to a 500 runner. I think Isaiah Davis is really going to shine for us.”

The season for the indoor track team begins on Dec. 3 for a polar bear meet at Caroline.

After the Caroline Invitational, the team will participate in a mini-meet at Fork Union on Dec. 7, then the Green Dragon Relays on Dec. 17.

Powhatan JROTC marksmanship team captain Raymond Robins (near) competes with the rest of the marksmanship team at a competition. The team goes for accuracy above all else during the competitions.

JROTC cadets enjoy different competition arenas

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

T

here are athletic competitions found all over the Powhatan High School campus, some that many students may not even be aware of.

Just ask the Powhatan JROTC cadets.

The cadets have the chance to participate in two completely different forms of competition through JROTC, both of which allow the cadets to stay mentally and physically sharp.

One of these teams is the marksmanship team.

Cadet Raymond Robins is the captain of the marksmanship team and with that comes quite a bit of responsibilities.

“I coordinate with Col. (Veronica) Baker and the assistant principals to get practice time in and make sure the team is safe and performing up to par. I also have to deal with the maintenance of the equipment and getting new equipment.

We just got six new rifles from the Army, which is awesome. I also train cadets on the new and old weapons and how to be safe.”

Robins said that he

types. One is a mail-in competition, where the ranges are set up to tournament specifications and the cadets fire at the targets with their air rifles.

A bull’s eye is worth 10 points, and each ring out from there is worth one point less as you move to the outside of the target.

In a mail-in tournament, the targets are mailed into the tournament director and scored once they are received.

The team also has the chance to attend tournaments and compete in person against other JROTC units.

“Accuracy is what we’re going for,” Robins said.

“The maximum score you can get is 300. So, our goal is to hit a bull’s eye every single time.”

As the top shooter, along with another cadet, Robins relishes in getting to share the secrets to success with the younger team members.

“We show them what we do,” he said. “Breathing techniques, how to hold the rifle, how tight your sling should be, and your stance…just everything.

Just general tips and tricks.

I look up on various web-

that competition just yet. At a competition at Prince George High School, the team finished fourth out of eight teams.

Another option for the JROTC members in terms of athletic and physical competition is what is known as the Raider team.

The Raiders, led by captain Tyler Steinruck, compete in events that push the cadets physically and mentally as the reach milestones and work to solve problems.

“We do a lot of different events,” he said. “We do a PT event, which consists of pushups, sit ups and a mile run. The pushups and sit ups are timed for a minute and you want to average about 60 for each. In the mile run, you want to hit somewhere around a 6:30.

We also do the rope bridge, litter carry, tire flip, truck pull, and we run a 5k.”

Steinruck found out about JROTC when they made some trips to the junior high school, as well as when they were doing color guard during Powhatan High School football games.

He wants to go to the Air Force Academy and doing JROTC “is a stepping

the near pole and another is tied on the far pole. They both set it up and the other six guys have to cross after set up. It has to be secure and if we don’t get it secure, we have to do it again.

Our team has gotten it to where we can do it in a minute and 40 seconds.

You have to set it up, get the six across, take it down and lay the rope out flat.”

Incorrect knots and body parts or gear touching the ground are just some of the penalties that a team can incur while competing on the rope bridge.

Steinruck said that the rope bridge is a focal point of practice.

“We do a lot of practicing because that is our event that takes the most teamwork,” he said. “We have people set up at different positions. Everyone needs to know what they are doing, but also what everyone else is doing as well. We practice that a lot during the practices. We just practice by setting it up and timing ourselves. If we see something could be done faster, we’ll try that and see if it works. We also

practice for crossing the rope.”

Steinruck said that raider team is all about physical fitness.

“If you like doing anything with physical fitness, raider team is the team for you,” he said. “I like doing that. I’ve played football, I’ve played basketball and I’ve run track. It’s always been fun for me. It’s a competition, so you get to push yourself to see how well you can do. And, the guys on the team are really nice and you get to hang out with them.”

The Powhatan JROTC Raider team practices the rope bridge competition, seen here, quite often as it takes a large amount of teamwork.

joined JROTC his freshman year at Powhatan and was interested in the marksmanship team, especially given his family history.

“My dad was the number two shooter in Virginia for a while,” he said. “I’ve always liked weapons. It’s just something that is awesome. I’m allowed to compete with people all around the state, region and the country.”

The marksmanship team, which currently has 12 members, competes in two different competition

sites for tips on what marksmen do.”

At the line, concentration is key, according to Robins.

“You need to have perfect concentration,” he said.

“What goes through my mind is what have I eaten today…have I had caffeine? What have I done?

That’ll affect it. Any little movement will affect it.

Anything else is out of my head.”

The marksmanship team competed on Nov. 18, but don’t know the results of

Steinruck said for him that running the 5k is one of his favorite aspects, as he enjoys running.

“The 5k and the mile are a lot of fun for me,” he said.

“The rope bridge is also a lot of fun.”

The rope bridge is completed with an eight-man team and requires lots of teamwork and know-how in order to complete.

“All the members have to tie a seat on themselves,” he said. “The rope is tied on
