OWHATAN – The 15th annual Festival of the Grape was smaller all around this year, but still had Powhatan’s Historic Courthouse Village flowing with activity last weekend.

Thousands of people came out for a full day of wine, music, food and shopping, and although attendance numbers are expected to have been lower than usual, the day still turned out great, said Angie Cabell, executive director of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce, which sponsors the

Board of supervisors meet with legislators

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors met with Powhatan’s state representatives last week to discuss what local issues they would like to see better represented at the state level.

Sen. Glen Sturtevant Jr., R-10, and Del. Lee Ware, R-65, attended a special meeting with the board on Tuesday, Oct. 3, in which they informally discussed the supervisors’ priorities and answered questions they had. Four supervisors were present; Angie Cabell, who represents District 3, was not in attendance.

Near the end of an almost two-hour meeting, the board said they are likely to do what they did in fall 2016, which was to each bring their own ranked priorities and then have them compiled into one, condensed legislative agenda to be considered going into the upcoming session of the General Assembly.

Before the more detailed discussion began, Ware gave an update to the board similar to one he gave the Powhatan County School Board on Aug. 22. Ware talked about the more modest growth in

Supervisors and county administrator Ted Voorhees talk to Del. Lee Ware and Sen. Glen Sturtevant about local issues at the state level.

Virginia’s economic growth post Great Recession, which remains a real challenge, he said.

The two biggest drivers on the issue of the budget are Medicaid – “even without expansion, it continues to grow at an amazing pace and it’s squeezing everything” – and K-12 education, “which is a huge priority for all of us” and which Governor Terry McAuliffe named as his No. 1 priority, Ware said.

“I would say the same thing would be true in the house and the senate. Among the things that we have discretion over in

the general fund, it is about 30 percent. It has held pretty steady at that of all of our discretionary funds,” he said.

He added that with the upcoming election, a new governor will soon also have a say in the budget, so that factor remains unknown.

He also answered specific questions board members had about proffers, the Virginia’s bond rating, and trying to get away from the state dipping into its rainy day fund in the budget.

Warren Smiley was a hard-working and successful businessman, husband, father, grandfather, bible loving, card playing, newspaper reading, enjoyer of all things whiskey and Coca-Cola, lover of the TV shows Jeopardy, Survivor, Big Bang Theory, chit chatting, painin-the-butt kind of man. We all loved him for that. He was also a very smart man.

By the grace of God, in 1963, he came up with the concept for mobile auto glass and turned it into a successful business that allowed him to support a family and experience so many different aspects of life others can only dream about.

here is Mr. Mendez’s experience in the World War II in his own words. am Joseph Mendez, a battle of the Bulge survivor.

I was attached to the 35th infantry division.

They called us a b****** outfit. They only used us to back up the infantry units of the French, English, and the United States, if they needed help in certain areas.

Our unit landed at Le Havre in the coldest November on record. We were loaded on trucks and shipped right to Belgium and the front lines.

We were sent to replace a squad that had lost many men, and needed replacements badly. When we first arrived we got assigned to a squad leader. Two other men joined us. At that point we asked, “When is the rest of the squad arriving?”

The squad leader’s reply was, “This is it.”

Next, two of us were as-

JOSEPH MENDEZ Editor’s note: On Tuesday, Oct. 3, the world lost a World War II veteran, another in a group of men and women we are losing all too quickly. In the last few years, Joseph Mendez, who was a Battle of the Bulge survivor, spoke at several Powhatan County events related to veterans and military service. Each time he gave this speech he had written about his time in the war. In honor of him and all of the World War II veterans who are still with us or whom we have lost,

signed to a foxhole overlooking the valley. In the morning, when our replacements came to relieve us, my partner and I could not get out of the foxhole.

Our feet were frozen. The replacement squad lifted us out of the foxhole and took us by truck to the first aid station. There the medics put us on cots and thawed out our feet.

We were then shipped back to the front with the English troops. We were assigned to hold the “SS” troops back and keep them from retaking any of the areas we had already recovered.

We stayed with them holding the enemy back.

While with the English I again had my legs frozen.

This was the second of three times I would get frostbite. Back at the aid station that the English had set up, I was again treated.

Once I thawed out and was getting ready to go back to the front, a medic asked me

if the flak jacket I was wearing was all that I had to wear. My answer was yes. He handed me an alpaca-lined coat that was lined with fur. It came almost to my knees. He said it came from an English solider who would not be needing it anymore. He had died; he had been frozen on the battlefield after getting shot and could not be rescued. I was grateful for the warm coat.

Again the trucks carried me to the front – this time to help the French. We again stampeded Hitler’s army and his SS troops.

Next we were sent by truck to General Patton.

We infantry soldiers marched on both sides of the general’s tanks facing Berlin and the Germans.

Each tank had two soldiers protecting it from any of the German infantry soldiers.

Now we were in the final push to Berlin. During see WWII, pg. 8

specifically the Body Combat and Body Pump programs.

Family yoga, outdoor yoga, outdoor strength training and personal training are some other programs that the YMCA offers its members at no extra cost for its members.

For example, on Oct. 5, the YMCA has sessions for gentle cardio, boot camp, hatha yoga, Core30, Raw30 and H20 Pump classes, according to its online schedule. “A lot of the small changes and tweaks we are making (are) a response to what the community has told us,� Mullins said.

The changes will continue as well. Mullins said that in 2018, the YMCA is looking into smaller group sizes for personal training, which would not only continue to give individual attention for goals but also cut down on the cost of those classes. These groups would be three to six people in size.

The Powhatan YMCA currently offers a larger group personal training class, which Mullins said is the most affordable option currently. “You can tier things,� she said. “You have one-onone training, small group

training, large group training and group exercise.

Somebody can fit in somewhere in that tier and find success.�

While these classes might seem intimidating, Mullins wants to make sure that they are accessible as possible. She said that interested members have the option to try out a class even for a quarter or half the time of the full class to see what it is about. The new classes were celebrated at a party on Sept. 30 and have officially been placed on the schedule in October.

One of the centers will be in Powhatan County from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 16 at 3834 Old Buckingham Road.

Regarding broadband, county administrator Ted Voorhees said the county does intend to apply through the Department of Community Development for a grant it was unsuccessful in getting last year but feels they will be more competitive with this year.

A few times during the meeting, the need for policy leadership on the federal level for getting nationwide broadband access was compared with historically how bringing first electricity and then phones to every home was prioritized.

Williams asked if when the General Assembly is going to offer a raise that needs to be matched by the localities to make it effective to all employees, the legislators both follow through on those promises and make it clear that not all of the funds are coming from the state.

Tucker asked about the plans for the now closed Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center, which he had heard the Department of Corrections might be interested in taking over from the Department of Juvenile Justice.

Tucker asked where the legislators stood on the issue of pre-K education and the difference it makes on performance later in life. They

Throughout the evening, the supervisors made it clear that their No. 1 priority is getting any assistance they can to help make broadband a reality for all county residents.

Several supervisors talked about the issue of the large internet providers that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to expand into the county and have actually refused to go to many neighborhoods, but legislation introduced last year that tried to limit partnerships between localities and providers that are willing to go in rural areas like Powhatan. It was ultimately defeated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we would like to see is a level playing field to be able to ex-

had a discussion that touched on its proven efficacy past a certain age and using money to create programs instead of funding existing positions. Sturtevant said he supports it while Ware said he has seen studies that say the benefits to students â&#x20AC;&#x153;wash out by the third grade.â&#x20AC;? Ware added that it has strong advocacy at the state level.

The board and legislators also spent about an hour going through the preliminary 2018 Legislative Program being proposed by the Virginia Association of Counties (VACo) to either offer their opinions or ask questions.

Some but not all of the topics touched on were proffers, affordable and workforce housing, charter schools, aquifer protection, equal taxing authority, substance abuse, highway tolls, and the use of transportation tax revenue.

The board also discussed with the legislators a request they intend to bring for a bill adding Powhatan County to the list of counties permitted to require mandatory water and sewer connections pursuant to the authority contained in Code of Virginia. There are different levels of authority the county could ask for, which is still an ongoing discussion among the supervisors.

and how it all worked.

There were many long nights, holidays and weekends for Urbine and the other volunteers, including his two brothers, Chuck and the late Cecil Urbine.

His brother Chuck, at age 83, is still an active member of the fire department.

The tradition continues as Urbine’s son Robbie Urbine, who grew up with his

hind Louis and Pat Urbine’s house, and what a fun thing this was for their children.

Urbine had the distinction of driving one of these fire trucks, the 1948 Chevrolet, to its first fire. Sherri and Robbie both remember that each time a truck went out on a fire call there was a lot of maintenance work to follow. But you know what, Urbine loved it. This same truck now owned by Floyd Green, was restored to be in parades, and among other things to include, the transporting of fallen fire fighters to their final resting place. Ironically, Louis Urbine Jr. was the first fire fighter to have this honor.

He loved to tell his grandchildren, Chase and McKenzie, that in the beginning years, the work was continuous with the repairing and restoring of

those trucks and about the time it took to remove the pump assembly from one of the trucks, repair and then replace it. This was quite a feat for a group of novice volunteers from Powhatan County to handle, and many have said this could not have happened had it not been for Urbine and his natural ability and understanding with machines and motors

he Powhatan County Board of Supervisors honored the late Louis A. Urbine Jr. at its meeting on Monday, Sept. 25 with a proclamation commending him for exemplary service and dedication to Powhatan County for his many years as a member of the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department.

Urbine, who died at age 80 on Wednesday, Sept 6, was honored for being a charter member of the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department since its founding in 1970 and the work he did with the station. The proclamation explained how he provided unparalleled mechanical knowledge to other volunteers; painted, repaired, and maintained the original Huguenot fire engines; procured supplies to help build the original Huguenot firehouse for less than $6,000; mentored two generations of firefighters, and provided more than 40 years of volunteer service to the citizens of Powhatan County.

After the proclamation was presented and adopted unanimously, several board members had words for Urbine’s family members, who were there to receive the honor to their loved one. Among them, Chairman Bill Melton, who represents District 4, talked about opening a grocery store in Powhatan many years ago and having Urbine be one of the first people to come and introduce himself. He said Urbine was a wonderful man and thanked the family for all they have done through the years.

At a very early age, Urbine realized his love of motors, he was always good with his hands and had a very methodical mind. Mechanical engines were indeed his passion.

He understood how to take

them apart and how to tinker with any problem in the motor and make them work again. This was a natural gift. He could make a motor sound good and really make it purr.

A friend recently shared with his wife Pat, (even at 76 years and older), her husband could hear a car making an unusual noise and tell what was needed to be done to fix it. He would see an old tractor or a truck and would spend at least 20 to 30 minutes telling everyone within hearing distance all the details about it – the year, what made it tick, what was making it work, what made it run, and all of this was with him from a very young age until shortly before he died.

This love of engines and motors carried over to his favorite hobby and that was fire trucks and the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department. He was a founding member of that organization and spent many long hours working on the engines and making those old trucks run like new. There were many countless hours volunteering, until his health gave way a few years back.

A recent history written about the Huguenot Volunteer Fire Department tells of the commitment of its members and Urbine was certainly committed. He was in continuous motion from the very beginning; helping to clear the land and volunteering with the physical labor of the construction of the building located on Urbine Road, which was located diagonally across from the current building, and working on the ongoing continuous fire truck maintenance.

He spent numerous hours training and running calls. His children, Sherri and Robbie Urbine, remember their Dad getting

POLICE Continued from pg. 1

didn’t commit. The arrest is what occurs after you have done your job. It is not the beginning in most case unless it is an exigent circumstance.

On understanding the role of forensics in investigations …

Searfoss: In Virginia we utilize the Department of Forensic Science Labs, which means that we don’t have scientists here at the sheriff’s office. We are trained to identify and collect evidence and the proper way to submit it to the lab, but all the scientists work there for the Department of Forensic Science.

Now you have another organization involved so of course their case load they have to work with, which is statewide and massive at times, can impact how long it takes us to get results back from any manner of testing we might be requesting. The tests themselves, such as DNA, can take many days or weeks to complete once they have been assigned to a scientist. ... Then it is not just on the word of one scientist. All their work has to be basically done again or reviewed by another scientist to make sure that the results are correct. It is a very tough job and a very time consuming job and they have at different times throughout the year very heavy caseloads. That can result in longer turnaround times for evidence. … But they do a great job at the lab and they are excellent at what they do.

On the role of a Powhatan detective …

Searfoss: Our detectives primarily are what you would call general investigations, meaning they are all capable of working all manner of crimes. If it is something that happens

after hours, then the oncall detective would be the one assigned the case primarily. There is an on-call detective 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If it happens after hours, that is who is going to be assigned to that case because they are going to go out on the scene and start the investigation. With that said, the days of one detective working one case from start to finish are pretty much over. It is always a collaborative effort. We are always utilizing other detectives within the sheriff’s office and detectives from other agencies and resources from other agencies to make sure the case is investigated properly.

Wentworth: We handle it all from arson, murder, child cases, breaking and entering, property crimes, narcotics, gangs.

All of them can do it all.

Some of them have better expertise and we will assign them to the cases that are more their expertise.

On investigations not being limited to detectives ...

Wentworth: A lot of the road guys like to do some investigations work so we actually piggyback and help them do that to facilitate better skills.

Searfoss: It is not uncommon for a patrol deputy, if they respond to a crime, to keep that case if they have the time. If their own caseload and call volume allows it, if they want to continue to work on the case they can. They are going to be assisted by a number of people along the way. For many deputies, their goal at some point is to be a detective.

That is probably one of their goals in many cases.

The way you learn how to do that is by working your own cases. The patrol deputies that respond to people’s homes are capable of investigating crimes

as well and often do. They always assist. In fact, I would say they are the most important part of any criminal investigation because they are responsible for that scene when they get there. They have a lot of responsibilities. They need to be worried about security of the scene, the welfare of the victims and witnesses.

Wentworth: They are usually taking initial statements and give the pieces of the puzzle when detectives aren’t around. A lot of times they might have a good suspect already developed. So it is a team effort.

On the challenges a scene can present …

Searfoss: The severity of the crime doesn’t mean you are going to have less or more evidence. The evidence is dependent on the scene and what occurred there. Sometimes there is a lot of evidence left that something happened and other times there is very little. There are a lot of factors there. It could be an organized or disorganized scene based on the emotional or mental capacity of the person committing it. It also could just be luck. They could go there and not leave much behind and not leave much evidence of a crime. Other times the story pretty much tells itself as soon as you get there.

Wentworth: We have seen it where the resident leaves the door unlocked and there is really hardly any evidence of a crime there. You are trying to figure out how they came in and they came in through an unlocked door.

That is not unusual. We have seen them where they go to one particular thing and grab it and close the door and the victim doesn’t know the crime was committed for weeks.

GRAVELY FLEET DAY

Searfoss: Late reporting is a challenge. You think if you have something of value in your house, you probably don’t look at it every day or do a full inventory of your valuables every day. It is not uncommon for people to realize I am missing something very important and they are not exactly sure when it went missing. That makes solving the case very difficult because we don’t even know a timeframe to work from.

On the most common crimes committed in Powhatan …

Wentworth: We see a lot of property crimes and it is going to be related to narcotics. A lot of them are drug addicts who are stealing to help their habits. I know we are seeing a lot more with Walmart, more shoplifting. A lot of those crimes can be related to narcotics issues, too.

Searfoss: Residential break-ins have always been a problem from time to time. Most of the time, the majority of the time, when we do make an arrest, we find out the people who are committing the break-ins have a drug addiction and in their minds they justify it by saying they are forced to steal to feed their habits.

On the possibility of more crime as Powhatan continues to grow …

Searfoss: As businesses and people move out to Powhatan County, it works its way through the process and as they get permits approved and as things work their way through the county government, the sheriff is included in that and has input. If there is a question if it may require more resources from the sheriff’s office, if something appears it may cause more resources from the sheriff’s office, those conversations are had in the beginning, before something is built and we are having

On what residents can do to better protect themselves …

Searfoss: Lock your cars up when you are not in them. Lock the doors of your home when you are there or not there. If you have something of value, make sure you have it documented in some form. For instance, if it has a serial number and you know what the serial number is, that helps tremendously with recovering it if it has been stolen.

Proper lighting, trimming of hedges – all the regular stuff you hear about pretty regularly. Know your neighbors. Make sure you look out for each other if somebody is going to be out of town.

Wentworth: If you see suspicious activity, call and report it and a patrol officer will come by and investigate it. A lot of it is community policing type of environment. We can’t be everywhere. You are the eyes and ears for us and report stuff you see that is suspicious in nature. We will come out and try to investigate it.

On cases that seem to go unsolved …

Searfoss: Cases that are unsolved are never closed.

Circumstances change – life circumstances. People who are witnesses or you may not have known were witnesses end up coming up and providing information later on down the road that may help a case and get things going again. There may be a situation where science has made an advancement and things that were untestable 10 years ago are now testable and it is worth another round of lab submissions to try to get a better result than you might have the first time.

There is any number of things that can happen. …

During the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors’ meeting on Sept.

25, a swearing in ceremony for firefighters was held for members of the Powhatan County Fire and Rescue Department. Rene Holy swore in firefighter/paramedic Jeffery Wallace and firefighter/EMTs John “Hunter” Martin; Ryan Houtsma; Layton Deane; Michael Sowers, and Christine Keenan. When there is an emergency in the community, firefighters are one of the first on the scene. Firefighters are there at devastating ravages of fire, medical emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, hazardous material incidents, rescue operations, natural disasters and many other critical incidents. Firefighters are civil servants, and as sworn officials, follow standard policies and procedures of the Fire and Rescue Department; they are there to prevent human suffering and death, to stabilize the incident and prevent further injury, damage CONTRIBUTED PHOTO or loss of property.

sessment of cases that are still open. The case will be open until it is successfully closed with an arrest and a prosecution or we have determined no crime has occurred.

Wentworth: We do a review on some of the old cases we’ve got outstanding, and some of the science changes. We look at cases and see if there is anything we might have missed with a fresh set of eyes. We re-interview victims and witnesses again on some of these cases to see if something has changed.

On ever evolving police work …

Searfoss: Change is inevitable and we have to constantly be evolving with the technology of the day. It has assisted us in many ways. It has also created many new challenges, many new types of crime.

People are victimized in new ways with identity theft and through cyber crimes that either weren’t a problem because they didn’t exist or they weren’t as widespread as they are now. With all these changes comes big advantages but also new challenges, and we constantly evolve with that. We are constantly going to training. We never stop learning. We are always sending all of our deputies to additional training throughout the year.

Final thoughts…

Wentworth: It is not like TV. They got an hour and they solve the crime because they only have an hour. Sometimes it takes a long time to solve the crime because we have to rely on the lab and some other issues. It just doesn’t happen overnight, and I think that is where a lot of citizens don’t understand.

If I am a victim I would want the crime solved quickly too, but I think a lot of them don’t understand that.

Searfoss: There can be frustration but ultimately most people understand things are not like they are on TV. They just don’t know how they are different all the time. We take that extra time to sit down with them and explain the entire process, walk them through everything we are going to do or have done so they understand what has been going on with the investigation or their case.

We have a duty to explain that to them throughout and stay in communication with them constantly so if they do have a question we can answer it.

They may not always like the answer. I may not always like the answer. We may not like the answer that something has to wait a little bit longer or a lot longer, but we have a responsibility to keep them informed and to explain the entire process and to be held accountable for it.

Aftermath of devastation hard to witness

By Laura McFarland News Editor

I

n the last decade, this writer has moved a grand total of three times: from Houston to Rocky Mount, North Carolina, to Winchester and finally here.

It was never a fun experience. You tell yourself you are going to use the opportunity to go through some things and weed out what you don’t need any more.

Then the move date approaches and you run out of time and promise yourself you will do it as you unpack.

Pssh. Like those boxes ever got unpacked.

Seeing all of my worldly possessions stuffed into the back of a moving truck, there was always a flutter in my stomach because it was a very real, visible sign that everything was about to change.

I thought of that two weeks ago when I went to visit family in Houston. As I have said before, almost all of my family members live in Texas and Houston in particular. Fortunately, while flooding was a constant danger for them, the water didn’t make it into their homes and there was minimal damage. In floods of years past, some family members weren’t so fortunate.

After the stress of worrying about my family, I went for a quick visit and gave each one of them a very satisfying hug upon seeing them. You don’t realize how much of the tension is still there in your body until you physically get to put your arms around your loved ones and see for yourself that they are safe.

As with any visit home, it was mostly filled with seeing family members and eating way too much good food. Like seriously, way too much food, but all of it really good.

Driving around parts of Houston, it was sometimes hard to believe a catastrophic flood had overtaken the city only weeks earlier. But then you drove through other parts and the evidence was all there on the lawns of home after home.

PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND

Shown right is a home that lost everything. Left are quilters making quilts for hurricane victims.

Imagine seeing almost everything you own in a damp, smelly heap on your lawn. Pieces of furniture you collected one by one, family photos you always meant to scan but never had the time to do, clothes, heirlooms passed down through the generations of your family, books, toys and games your children played with, pieces of art that brought you joy … all of it piled high in the same place you only weeks before tossed bags of household trash.

And across the yard and all down your street, your neighbors’ front yards looked just the same.

Volunteer church groups were there helping clear out the houses and dispose of the items, which was good to see.

The entire experience was so sobering to see, but since I also was in the car with my mom and one of my sisters, who both knew that this very easily could have been them, it was also incredibly emotional.

Obviously Hurricane Harvey was more personal for me because it hit my hometown so hard, but my heart has gone out to all of the victims of hurricanes in the last several weeks. Even as we were all still shocked about the damage in Texas, we were braced for Hurricane Irma to hit Florida. And, most recently, we see

how Hurricane Maria has left Puerto Rico, which way too many people forget is a territory of the United States, without power and clean water.

It has been heartwarming to see the ongoing efforts and fundraisers for hurricane victims in Powhatan, but all of these places really do have a hard road of recovery ahead. I hope people will continue to remember them in their thoughts, prayers and support even after they stop making headlines.

Because I want to end on a positive note, I will share a Houston story that made me smile. During this same car trip, my mom, sister and I went to a quilt shop.

While we were looking around, I struck up a conversation with a woman. In the back of the shop she and a group of other women were making quilts for hurricane victims. They were cheerful and welcoming, and in speaking with them I saw their hope that this small offering would bring a moment of happiness to people who had lost so much. If the recipients of those quilts experience even half the love those women were putting into the quilts for them, I think they will feel that moment of happiness.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Reader takes issue to ideas in two letters to the editor Dear Editor, This letter is in response to the women who submitted letters to the editor in recent issues of Powhatan Today.

Both of these ladies fell into the trap of objecting to symbols and rhetoric that have nothing to do with the real problems of this country and the cause of those problems. It isn’t the average person, it’s the powerful who are manipulating our media and a handful of those elected to serve in Washington.

A country must have a common language, it must have borders, and it must have a common culture to be a sovereign nation. It was President Lincoln who said,” A house divided against itself cannot stand.” Each of these three elements are now under attack from within. Speaking a common language unites people; speaking different languages drives people apart. Yard signs in six languages is just as meaningless as “gun free zone” signs and even discriminates against those people whose languages are not posted. Please explain how speaking different languages helps people assimilate into America. I would also like to know where the hatred is here in Powhatan.

The other letter, as well, indicates that emotions rule your life. In your own words you “were disturbed, hurt and saddened” by the children waving Confederate flags.

Did you ever think that maybe the great-grandfathers of these children served in the Civil War? Do you want to shame them? Did you ever realize that many of the brave souls who served in the Confederate Army were mere children themselves? Many were between the ages of 15 and 25 years old. Did you know that most of the soldiers who served weren’t slave holders, but farmers, clerks and small business owners. These men were fighting for what they felt were “states rights” and they deserve respect, just as our fighting men and women do today.

The memorials and monuments are not a “celebration” of the Confederacy or of slavery. They are a memorial to the deadliest war and most dangerous moment in our nation's history. They are a reminder of what happens when political divisions cause a tear between our people, and they remind us to avoid conflict and seek a peaceful resolution to our differences. Many of these symbols and

monuments also serve as a reminder of the nearly 700,000 people who died because of that war. If you think I’m wrong, just look at ISIS in the Middle East.

They are destroying history in that region of the world by tearing down statues, destroying archeological sites and ancient artifacts. This is so generations to come cannot look back at who they are and where they came from and improve upon the past. Do we want to destroy our history?

If powerful people in government and the complicit media didn’t publicize and continue to glorify the destruction of our family, religion, liberties, and our way of life, we all could continue living our lives peacefully as you would prefer.

Group says people have nothing to fear from flag Dear Editor: This is a reply to a letter to the editor from your Sept.

27 issue concerning the Labor Day parade and the display of Confederate battle flags.

I was a participant in the Labor Day festivities and am a member of the local SCV (Sons of Confederate Veterans) camp. I would like to reassure Ms. Rankins that she has nothing to fear from us or our flags. We at the SCV have been and continue to be good members of the Powhatan community. The SCV is not an extremist organization. We take an oath to defend “the Confederate soldier’s good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles which he loved.” It’s known as the Charge and it was delivered to the original members of the SCV in 1906 by Gen. Stephen Dill Lee, and we strive to live by it today. We are about preservation and remembrance, not division or intolerance.

The use and display of the battle flag of the Army of Northern Virginia, as well as other lesser known banners of the period, is part of our commitment to that charge.

We hold true to its original and only proper use, to honor and remember the Southern Soldier, his virtues his valor and his sacrifice for his family and home. The battle flag was commissioned by Gen. Beauregard after 1st Manassas because he saw the need for a unique battle flag. At the time units carried the first national “Stars and Bars” or regimental flags, which were hard to distinguish in battle conditions. The design by Gen. William Porcher Miles was selected and the battle flag was born. It was then and remains forever a soldiers’ flag, and we honor it and them as such. To surrender its proper meaning to those who pervert it for evil is unthinkable to us. The flag at the base of the 4th Cavalry Powhatan Monument is part of our remembrance and shall remain so.

I too noted the increase of interest and support of those attending the parade. The continuing love and support of the local Powhatan community is much appreciated by my camp and myself. (It should be noted that our camp voluntarily removed ourselves from the parade this year over safety concerns but was asked to return and we are very grateful for that). I am encouraged by the number of parents who brought their children to our tent to get a flag. It is important that everyone, especially children, learns the honorable history of their forefathers so that they may not be forgotten.

As for the warning sign on the hill of the monument I can assure you there is no hidden meaning. The sign was placed as a deterrent for those who might climb up on it for their safety as well as the monument’s safety. As a matter of fact the day after the parade on Facebook a couple who was photographing our monument voiced concern over the sign because she feared it was out of disrespect for the 4th Cavalry Veterans. We were able to reassure them of the intent and were able to share with them some facts and history of our monument.

In closing let me say again no one in Powhatan has anything to fear from our group or our flags, whether they are placed at our monument or on our forefathers’ graves. Powhatan is not a community of hate and God willing will continue to be such. Sheriff Nunnally may have said it best. To paraphrase... people may expect the worst from each other...let us rise above their expectations.

After several days of traveling toward Japan we again noticed a change in our ship’s direction. We again asked, “What’s up?

Where are we going now?”

The answer this time was, “We just dropped the atom bomb on Japan, and you’re finally going home for good.”

Powhatan Today, October 11, 2017

CodeRED Continued from pg. 1

notification service is customized, allowing residents to choose which alerts they’d like to sign up for and their preferred manner of receipt. Residents can select several different methods including landline, cell phone, email, text message, TTY, or even a combination.

These alerts can be specific to streets, neighborhoods or regions, so individuals within affected areas are sure to receive this valuable information.

The county started with necessary configuration activities over the summer, testing was done on the system in September, and there was a phased activation in October, Nellis said.

CodeRED costs $7,500 a year, but it is paid for with a grant that the county will receive from the Virginia Department of Emergency Services, Nellis said. No county funds are being used, he added.

No equipment or software is housed in the county.

The benefits of using CodeRED don’t just pertain to county residents, as staff members will also use the system to communicate emergency and critical information with one another. This will help en-

sure Powhatan’s emergency response and daily operations are even more efficient.

As the information entered in the system grows, all county departments (including schools, and other partners like the state park) will have full access to utilize the system for emergency and day-to-day operations, Nellis said.

“We will use the system to augment citizen warning and notification including some non-emergency events that may impact the community. However, it will be tempered to ensure that we don’t abuse the information flow,” he said. “Too many notifications might become bothersome or annoying and will result in people unsubscribing or blocking the calls, which defeats the purpose of the service. It’s a delicate balance that we will slowly work toward.”

Additionally, residents and visitors alike can keep track of alerts in Powhatan County with the CodeRED Mobile App, which notifies smartphone holders of real-time alerts in the area.

Similar to the online registration, users choose which notifications they’d like to receive via the app.

Authorized county personnel will have access to the CodeRED Launcher an app that allows autho-

rized public safety officials to create and send messages on the go from any smartphone or tablet within seconds, without requiring a computer.

“The mobile technology for CodeRED is extremely advanced, providing us enhanced flexibility to issue general and/or emergency messages from any location,” Nellis said.

“We can launch alerts from anywhere at any time, and residents impacted by weather and other timesensitive events will receive them directly to their smartphones. This all happens within seconds, which can make a huge difference in saving lives.”

The county’s data is stored at two undisclosed redundant data centers that are rated at a DOD level of security, Nellis added.

All residents are encouraged to visit http:// www.powhatanva. gov/234/EmergencyManagement or navigate to the Emergency Management page on www. powhatanva.gov to sign up for CodeRED and immediately start receiving these informative, lifesaving alerts.

For more information on the CodeRED notification system or registration, contact Powhatan Alert at 804-598-4878 or powhatanalert@powhatanva.gov.

Serving Powhatan for 28 Years

Smart Beginnings focuses on early childhood care Contributed Report Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond is a partnership among public and private agencies, businesses, and individuals serving the cities of Richmond, Colonial Heights, as well as Chesterfield, Charles City, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent and Powhatan counties. The partnership works to enhance the quality of early childhood care and learning for young children, so they will be well-prepared to enter the workforce.

Recognizing the importance of early childhood development, businesses, nonprofits, governments, school, and philanthropic leaders in Greater Richmond have been working together to provide support to families with young children and to bring attention to the value of investing early to help young children thrive. Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond can trace its roots back more than 15 years, to Youth Matters, a project of ChamberRVA, and Success by Six at United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg. In 2006, these two efforts merged to form Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond, which has served as the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s convener and coordinator for strategic early childhood initiatives ever since. ChamberRVA has helped to establish early childhood as a crucial component of the workforce pipeline and raise awareness of the issue among business leaders. United Wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reputation as a longstanding nonprofit and funder lends credibility to the work and provides access to a vibrant network of nonprofit partners and volunteers.

Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond is one of 17 regional Smart Beginnings initiatives that form a statewide network supported by the Virginia Early Childhood Foundation. The foundation works with Smart Beginnings partners across the state to understand barriers and promote opportunities for increasing access to high-quality early learning.

In Powhatan County, the program served 1,510 children between the ages of 0 and 5 from 2010 to 2014. The percentage of students with passing PALS-K scores in 201402015 was 85.7 percent.

The Regional Plan was developed through a collaborative process that engaged more than 250 participants from 110 public and private organizations across Greater Richmond. The Plan emphasizes children and families most in need, and focuses on the following key goals: 1) Greater awareness and enrollment: Increase awareness of the importance of early childhood and accelerate enrollment in high-quality programs. 2) Collaborative and intentional pathways: Enhance collaborative and intentional pathways between schools and public and private programs serving families with young children to improve access and cus-

Cabell said during the festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the atmosphere is great as always.

People love this festival.â&#x20AC;?

Courtney Pettis of Chesterfield is a regular visitor to the festival who is drawn by the wine and the people. She said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great day to welcome the fall season, have fun with friends and try a variety of Virginia wines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had some new ones I hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had this year. We always drink from the ones we know but we are trying new ones,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Russ AmRhein, coowner of AmRheinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wine Cellars in Bent Mountain, said his vineyard has attended since the festival began and said he keeps coming back because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a well

managed event with great crowd participation. The winery brought 11 wines to sell and had a good day of sales, he added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We also get people that appreciate really good quality wines like cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and a nice wine called aglianico.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an Italian red with a nice tannin structure,â&#x20AC;? he said.

There were several new aspects to the festival this year, and some went over better than others, Cabell said. There was a shuttle to the parking lot at Powhatan Elementary School that she was still hearing feedback on. Organizers worry in the future that the festival will outgrow its parking, so they are trying to be proactive, not reactive. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wine festivals are a dime a dozen now, so we have to focus on the experience. If they have trouble parking, they will

The four goals focus on areas where there are disparities between children of color and non-minority children, where school districts have not made progress, and where economic insecurity has increased the emotional, social, and

physical barriers to accessing care.

Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond represents a powerful network and organizing force, and the staff of the partnership serves as the backbone for coordinating and accelerating the shared vision. No one sector or organization can complete the Regional Plan for School Readiness 2017-2020 on its own. Success requires a multi-sector alliance and investment from public, nonprofit, private, and charitable sectors with families at the center. A renewed collective impact model will build on and coordinate existing efforts and deliver with greater efficiency and impact.

More than 110 organizations were involved in the creation be unhappy before they even get through the door,â&#x20AC;? she said.

This year the chamber of commerce also planned for an interactive art project with Richmond-based artist Nico Cathcart. The visiting artist had an overlarge canvas that she encouraged festival goers to write and draw on throughout the day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am allowing everyone to make their mark. I am going to take it back to my studio and do a painting on top of it. I am doing that in response to whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has been 17 different paintings throughout the day. What people are doing and what I want them to do is create layers.â&#x20AC;?

of the plan, and we anticipate even more partners will be identified as the plan moves toward implementation. Some key partners in Powhatan include Powhatan Public Schools and other early childhood for profit and nonprofit partners serving Powhatan County.

At the core of the plan is the belief that organizations, working together through a coordinated regional partnership, have more power, influence, and impact than they have working alone. The essence of the plan is to increase familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ability to access high-quality early childhood resources and to use the partnershipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s collective influence to advocate for strategic and targeted investments. It will require a strong backbone organization â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Smart Beginnings Greater Richmond â&#x20AC;&#x201C;facilitating and guiding the work, and building on its role as the regional convener and backbone organization. It will also require greater accountability among its network partners, increased diversity of membership, and more family engagement. The partnership will include an expanded group of stakeholders who will share accountability for results.

SBGR will build on years of success and long-standing relationships with its existing network to ensure the successful implementation of this new plan.

Since the first Regional Plan was launched in 2010, SBGR has increased public awareness, leveraged new resources for quality services, and built strong cross-sector representation and relationships. SBGR partners have developed a shared agenda focusing on service delivery and system change, cultivated trust and better communication within the provider network, and served as a bridge between schools, localities, and programs. The Regional Plan for School Readiness 2017â&#x20AC;&#x201C;2020 takes into account the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past successes and focuses attention where action is most needed.

SBGRâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s selected accomplishments include: 1) Public awareness success through the Kindergarten Registration Campaign; 2) Development of trusting relationships with providers, schools and government; 3) Greater recognition among the business community of the importance of early childhood; 4) Greater Public Sector Investment: Virginia Preschool Initiative (VPI+) Preschool Expansion Grant, MIECHV Home Visiting Expansion, Hanover County Home Visiting Investment and Expansion, City of Richmond Kellogg Grant for Early Childhood Alignment, Development of Regional Local Government Coalitions.

The new Regional Plan will continue this history of success as it emphasizes children and families most in need. A childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s early years are too important not to invest in them, and this three-year plan provides a guide to where these investments are needed most.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Colby Johnson (13) tries to find running room against the Christchurch defense on Oct. 6 at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot. Johnson scored the first touchdown of the game for the Knights.

BSH falls at home to Christchurch 50-14

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

B

lessed Sacrament Huguenot’s contest against Christchurch on Oct. 6 at home did not get off to a good start after a punt was blocked, setting the Seahorses up in the red zone immediately.

Unfortunately for the Knights, it didn’t get better from there.

The Seahorses offense ran roughshod over the Knights defense in a 50-14 final.

“Christchurch is a great team and they’re well coached,” Blessed Sacrament Huguenot coach Chuck Robinson said.

“We knew we’d have to avoid mistakes.

Early on, we fell asleep, to be honest, on our punt team and then that gave them great field position and an opening drive touchdown for them. Then, we were in an ‘uh-oh’ situation and how do we respond.

We’re a team that’s old and young at the

same time, so we have to navigate those moments. We did later on, but initially, we struggled a little bit.”

That blocked punt on Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s first possession led to a very quick score on third-and-one by Jamar Darboe from seven yards out. The Seahorses converted the two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead.

The Knights had a three-and-out and had to punt on their next possession, but caught a break when Dion Butler recov-

ered a wayward snap that fell to the turf and gave his team good field position.

Spurred on by an offside and facemask penalty on Christchurch, the Knights were driving.

But, after a good six-yard run by Colby Johnson, the drive sputtered with an incomplete pass, a no-gain run by Johnson and an incomplete pass on fourth down to spoil the opportunity. see KNIGHTS, pg. 3B

Hale having huge success with Knights in first season

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO BY JIM HALE

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Christian Hale (front) has finished second in his last two meets for the Knights and has finished Top-5 four times.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Christian Hale had just started running track this past spring.

When the fall came around, he decided to give cross country a shot with the Knights.

“I started (in track) in February and thought, let’s just have fun,” he said.

“Well, I ran the mile in five minutes flat.

I was so amazed. So, I kept doing it into the summer and kept getting better and better. Then, when I saw cross country (at BSH), I thought well, let’s do that.”

It’s been working out pretty well so far.

In the last four meets, Hale has finished fourth, third, and most recently,

consecutive second place finishes.

“I was like ‘wow,’” Hale said of his recent performances.

Hale said that he didn’t do any research or have any guidance on how the sport of cross country worked prior to him taking to the trails this year for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

“I wanted to see what I could do and what I could accomplish,” he said.

The most recent second place finish for Hale was against Banner Christian on Oct. 5.

Michael Timmons finished 21st in that meet, Nick Dawson was 30th and Justin Johnson was 70th.

Prior to the home quad meet on Oct. 3 at Powhatan High School, the cross country teams honored the four senior captains (L to R) Brooke Dippold, Lindsey Fanz, Alexis Atkinson and Caileigh Dintino.

Seniors honored in home XC quad meet

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

It was Senior Night for the cross country team and the four senior girls for the Indians certainly made their presence known for Powhatan.

In a quad meet against Thomas Dale, Monacan and Manchester, the Indians girls team won with a score of 28. The Knights were second with 52 points, the Chiefs had 53 and the Lancers scored 93.

Senior Lindsey Fanz finished second overall in the race with a 21:39. Thomas Dale’s Morgan Waddill finished 22 seconds ahead of Fanz for the win in the meet with a time of 21:17.

The Indians senior train continued as Caileigh Dintino finished third overall with a time of 22:07.

Brooke Dippold, the third senior, was fifth overall with a time of 22:23, 16 seconds behind the fourth place finisher of Sylvia Wolfgang from Monacan.

“Our home meet went really well,” Dippold said. “There were strong performances on both sides. I’m proud of everyone.”

Alexis Atkinson rounded out the senior quartet with her eighth place finish as she crossed the finish line in 23:30, just four seconds behind Monacan’s Madison Wallin.

Ashley Trevillian was the next Indians finisher, coming home 10th with a 23:42, 1.1 seconds from ninth place Catherine Dillon of Manchester.

Ashley Van Buskirk was 15th with a 24:18, Alexis Elzey was 21st with a 25:03

and Carly Doland was 23rd with a time of 25:18.

“Coach Webb and I have been very impressed with and thankful for the leadership from our four seniors this year,” coach Paul Smartschan wrote in an email.

“As seniors in captains, Alexis Atkinson, Caileigh Dintino, Lindsey Fanz and Brooke Dippold possess every quality that it takes to create an atmosphere of success and fun within a sports program. No matter how hard the workout, competition and/or challenge at hand, they give it 100-percent all day, every day, while supporting their teammates to follow suit.

Somehow, they’ve been doing it with a smile for the last three-to-five years. We’ll miss them all greatly. But, presently they’re awesome to coach and have leading the younger athletes with our junior captains Colton Vosburg, John Cavedo, Logan Allen and Noah Allen.”

Dintino said that cross country is the “greatest mental challenge” she’s faced in her four years at Powhatan.

“When it is just you and the course and your legs are moving, you have to be the one to comfort yourself,” she said. “You have to be the one to tell yourself to keep going, or pick up the pace, even when you don’t believe that you’ll be able to finish.”

On the boys side, the Knights, Lancers, Chiefs and Indians took to the course at Powhatan High School and the Lancers came out on top with 24 points.

Powhatan was second with 61 points, followed by Monacan with 73 and then Thomas Dale with 80.

The Indians completed the week by competing in the Big Cat Invitational at the College of William and Mary on Oct. 7.

Powhatan’s girls team finished 15th out of 20 teams in the Varsity A race with 367 points.

Fanz was the top finishing Indians runner with a 19th place finish with a time of 20:54. Dintino was 47th with a 21:57, while Dippold was 86th with a 23:30.

Indians volleyball drops two in a row Sports Editor

P

owhatan’s girls volleyball team had won six matches in a row, a streak that started on Sept. 14 against Orange County and had traversed matches against both Jefferson District foes such as Western Albemarle and Louisa and Class 6 opponent Clover Hill.

But, that streak came to an end on Oct. 3 against Monticello and the skid continued against Albemarle at home on Oct. 5 in a 25-18, 25-14, 25-10 loss.

“We were on a roll,” Indians head coach Amber Foos said. “We had a wonderful match against Fluvanna. They took a set from us, but it was probably the best game I’ve ever seen (my team) play. We played 23-25 against Monticello and then we couldn’t get ourselves out of that rut.”

The Patriots jumped out in front of the Indians with seven straight points to open the first set and put the Indians immediately on the back foot.

Sophomore Sierra Ellison ended the Albemarle run with a kill and Powhatan started to make its way back into the game.

Albemarle went on a four-point run in the middle of the set to put the score at 16-7 prior in an attempt to regain the momentum of the set after Powhatan had started to make some headway.

The Indians rode a fivepoint wave after that, fueled by three unforced errors committed by the Patriots, to shrink the lead to 16-12.

An Abby Nee ace got the Indians within three at 17-14, but that’s as close as the Indians would get.

Albemarle gapped the Indians by three more points to put it at 20-14 and then out-paced Powhatan throughout the final points

KNIGHTS Continued from pg. 1

“One thing we always talk about is consistency,” Robinson said. “We had a fumble, we had good field position, and we don’t score. Our offense, we botched a play that we’ve run a million times and you get put in bad positions.”

Christchurch responded on the ensuing drive, going the length of the field in five plays to score on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Steven Stilianos.

Down 16-0, the Knights couldn’t get the offense headed in the right direction on their next drive as the Seahorses intercepted Blessed Sacrament Huguenot quarterback Tyler Lockhart on the third play.

It took Christchurch just six plays to score again, this one a three-yard rushing touchdown to make it 23-0.

The Seahorses would score three more touchdowns before the first half ended to make it a commanding 43-0 lead into the halftime break.

The Knights were able to breathe some life into the offense in the second half as the defense produced a stop and Christchurch fumbled the snap

to take the first set 25-18.

The second set began largely the same as the first, with Albemarle rushing out to a 5-0 lead before the Indians were able to get on the board thanks to a Patriots error.

An ace by Maddie Turner put the score at 8-6, the closest the Indians would get to the Patriots in the second set, but the chance to get even with Albemarle quickly escaped Powhatan’s grasp as two quick points were put up by the Patriots and stole the momentum back.

From there, the Indians were plagued by unforced errors that put easy points on the board for Albemarle as well as the Patriots utilizing both their big hitters and the finesse plays to find the weaknesses in the Indians defense.

After a combined block from Jordan Davis and Ellison got a point for the Indians and put it at 15-12, the Patriots went on a sixpoint run to seal the second set, which eventually ended at 25-14.

“We knew what we were up against,” Foos said. “Albemarle has four girls who are over six feet.

It was strategy over skill and they saw where our holes were. When their hitters hit, they hit great and they took advantage of us not having the big block.

When the block was there, they would tip the ball and roll the ball. When they were putting up a big block on our outside hitters, I kept saying they we could cut off and roll the ball, but we weren’t taking those opportunities.”

The third set started with a 4-0 Albemarle run as the Patriots continued their offensive onslaught.

Powhatan got within two points after a Patriots error at the 7-5 mark and again at 9-7, but Albemarle then put together a fivepoint run that set the tone for the set and eventually ended in a 25-10 score for a

three-set sweep.

“I tried to change the lineup a little bit in the third set to get Abby some swings and see if that had any effect on it,” Foos said.

“It wasn’t our offense. My defense tonight is what killed me. (Albemarle) is a good team. They’re huge and there’s nothing you can do about that. Jamestown and Grafton are both like that, big and huge.”

Foos said that as her squad enters the second time around with the Jefferson District teams, each game means that much more and the Indians need to get as many wins as possible.

“The more points we have, the less likely we are to match up against Hanover or Midlothian in the beginning (of the regional tournament),” she said.

“The longer we can hang in there and not see them until the regional finals and then we’re doing a good job. It’s us now having to take this second turn and have to win as many games as possible. It’s just frustrating since tonight was the start of that second round and we’re making mistakes that we made in game one. I don’t know how else to tell them that they need to be more strategic.”

One positive to the Albemarle game was the Indians had all their starters on the floor.

“This is the first time Maddie played against Albemarle,” Foos said. “(Not having her) killed us the first time against them. She made an impact tonight as a libero. She picked up a lot of balls and made a lot of plays. But, one person can’t do it all.”

The Indians hope that another six-game winning streak comes out of an Albemarle loss as the last one did after falling to the Patriots in three sets on Sept. 12.

Powhatan traveled to Orange on Oct. 10 and will host Western Albemarle on Oct. 12.

on the punt attempt to set Blessed Sacrament Huguenot up in good field position.

Johnson didn’t waste any time, taking it 43 yards on the first play from scrimmage to the end zone for the first Knights points of the game.

The final points for Christchurch came in the fourth quarter, as Kemper Roudabush threw an interception that was returned for a touchdown to make it 50-7.

On the ensuing possession by the Knights, a 28yard run by Butler set up a five-yard touchdown run

by Butler to make it 50-14.

“At halftime, we challenged our team,” Robinson said. “As a head coach, it’s my job to make sure the team that goes out is a reflection of the team, their spirit, myself. What we said was defense get a stop and offense, get a score.

They did those things and I was proud of that.”

It wasn’t just a loss on the scoreboard for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, however, as the Knights were hit by multiple injuries throughout the game.

Chris Gupton and Lockhart were two such Knights hit by the injury bug.

“I think we are banged up,” Robinson said. “It’s a good time for the bye week, to be honest. Every coach has a team that’s banged up at this point in the year. Football is a long season and when you’ve got a thin team like us, it’s even longer. We’ve got guys who are playing both ways and getting a lot of reps of football.”

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot enters the bye week with a 3-3 record.

After the bye, the Knights will travel to Quantico on Oct. 20 and Roanoke Catholic on Oct. 27 before finishing the season at home on Nov. 3 against Richmond Christian.

Robinson sees the bye week as both an opportunity to get healthy and get better.

“We control our destiny,” he said. “We’ve got three good division three opponents coming up. I think we’ve got a lot of time and we’re facing basically the same offense the next three weeks. We need to get healthy, we need to get healed, but we’re still going to spend our time on the hill and in the chutes and doing the things that compose Knights football.”
