Road rage numbers trouble officials By Laura McFarland

In that case, an aggressive driver trying to pass another vehicle crashed into an oncoming car, killing that driver. The cases this year have ranged from conflicts between two motorists that escalated to incidents where aggressive driving put others in danger, Cerullo said. Either way, the end result is people who engage in these activities are putting themselves and everyone around

OWHATAN – A recent incident where a woman and her small child reportedly found their car being struck repeatedly by another vehicle is the latest in what local officials believe is far too many cases of road rage or aggressive driving this year. Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney, said he was alarmed at the number of cases involving road

them in danger. “One thing that strikes me about these cases is, for the most part, both the defendants and the victims of these cases, they don’t have criminal records. They are not our usual criminals. But we in this office have to take this seriously and have to prosecute these people when they do this despite their lack of a record because of the seriousness of the situation,” he said. “The sheriff’s department is concerned about it, this office is concerned about it and we will take these cases very seriously, so peo-

ple need to think twice before they engage in this type of behavior.” Sheriff Brad Nunnally said that, as a bedroom community, Powhatan County is seeing an ever-increasing number of vehicles on the road. Unfortunately, while people might expect traffic in the city, they don’t want it in more rural areas, and their frustrations can come out in their behavior. “They put up with traffic in Chesterfield but by the time they get to Powhatan they expect everybody to get out see RAGE pg. 6

Free Clinic of Powhatan celebrates 10th anniversary Contributed Report In February 2008, when the New York Giants defeated the heavily favored New England Patriots (17 – 14) in Super Bowl XLII, the Free Clinic of Powhatan welcomed its first patients. Not yet having a space to call home, the Free Clinic provided patient care at the Powhatan Fairgrounds for the first seven months, using Bon Secours’ mobile CareA-Van. On opening day, the need for medical services for low income, uninsured Powhatan adults was confirmed when citizens queued up at 7 a.m. in anticipation of the 9 a.m. opening of the Care-A-Van.

Establishing and staffing the clinic The Free Clinic of Powhatan was founded by Powhatan resident Connie Moslow, the first and current executive director. Soon after, Dr. John Carmack became the first medical director of the clinic, and the first board of directors was established with John Rick, Kim Hatcher Wright, Bob Cosby, Margaret Manning, Carolyn Cios Bishop, Nancy Alexander, Sister Maureen Carroll, Kathy Budner, and Ann Hogg.

Volunteers improve health of James River Contributed Report

The 49 volunteers that showed up at Maidens Landing on the morning of Saturday, Sept. 8 experienced overcast skies and a moderate temperature. This pleasant weather provided a conducive backdrop for helping hands to participate in the 19th annual James River Advisory Council (JRAC) river cleanup event. Pam Pleasants and Betty McCracken, staff at Monacan Soil and Water Conser-

vation District, served as team leaders for the day. Snacks and drinks were provided by a variety of sponsors including Farm Credit, DA Harris Trucking, CocaCola Bottling Company and Dominion Power. Powhatan County supervisor Carson Tucker and Sara Stamp, JRAC, were on hand to give site specific instructions. Volunteers came from a wide array of backgrounds – new community mem-

bers, an AP class from Cosby High School in Midlothian, two Boy Scouts troops, a group from the Virginia Canals and Navigation Society, and families. All were enthusiastic and willing to take a part in cleaning up the environment around the historic James River. Fifty-five tires were brought in by eight boating outfits, some starting at Powhatan State Park. Forty bags of garbage and 24 bags of recycling materials

were collected from the landing up to Old River Trail. Trash materials included a broken lawn chair, various boating and fishing supplies, and lots of beverage containers. Powhatan’s VDOT office provided trash removal. This regional event is sponsored by the James River Advisory Council the first Saturday in September. IT is organized by JRAC and partners, including see CLEANUP, pg. 5

‘Like a freight train’

School safety A big point of stress for many families during the storm was not being with their children. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, said his staff monitored the situation all day and considered early dismissal, but because of heavy rains, they were fearful of putting the buses on the road. Powhatan High and Middle schools dismissed without incident, Jones said. Central office staff split up between the three elementary schools. Jones went to Flat Rock Elementary. The schools had begun the dismissal process, and at least at Flat Rock, three buses had already departed, Jones said. When the first tornado warning came, they took shelter inside. The three buses were called back, and two returned while the third took shelter at a daycare. The schools sheltered in place until 5:15 p.m., when the last tornado warning expired and school staff decided to get them on the road before potential flooding hazards started, Jones said. Only one bus had to return to Flat Rock with 14 students because its way was blocked. Parents came and picked up those students, with the last departing at 7:30 p.m. Jones said a few things stood out to him during the storm. Most parents heeded the division’s warning not to come and get their children before the

tornado warning was lifted, which helped maintain safety. Afterward, parent feedback has been positive with them thanking the schools for keeping students’ safety at the forefront and understanding it was a difficult situation. Jones also commended the school staff and bus drivers who were at the schools as they worked to keep the students occupied and calm. “I do want to publicly commend our bus drivers for doing an amazing job and our entire staff at the elementary level for really putting their students, in many cases, in front of their own children that may not have been home at that point, and really focusing and being dedicated to making sure our students were safe,” Jones said. He added that when the 14 students came back, a handful of staff members insisted on staying with the children and keeping them entertained until their families could arrive. While the division tried to communicate clearly with families during the storm on School Messenger and Jones issued updates on Twitter, he said the fact that it would take about 30 to 40 minutes to get all of the information out to everyone didn’t seem fast enough. The school division will look at enabling a text notification system using School Messenger in emergencies where it needs to get information out quickly.

By the numbers From 2 to 7 p.m. on Sept. 17, there were 45 calls to emergency 911, with most being about traffic hazards and motor vehicle calls, according to Cindy Gillespie, dispatch manager of Powhatan 911 communications.

POWHATAN GARDEN CLUB Third Annual

“Play with Paint” at St. John Neumann Catholic Church

Thursday, Oct. 4 at 6:30 p.m.

Powhatan saw up to 10 road closures on various secondary roads across the county due to either flooding of the road, pipe wash outs, downed trees, or downed power lines, according to Bob Spieldenner, communications manager for the Virginia Department of Transportation. The closures were on Route 1204 (Tower Hill Road); Route 615 (Three Bridge Road); Route 622 (Clayville Road); Route 603 (Rocky Ford Road); Route 641 (Robert E. Lee Road); Route 711 (Huguenot Trail); Route 602 (Moyer Road); Route 639 (Pilkington Road); Route 1221 (Fall Line Drive), and Route 603 (Petersburg Road). As of Sept. 20, VDOT was reporting that amount was down to one road closure on Fall Line Drive, due to a pipe wash out, he said. “This road will remain closed until we are able to replace the pipe. It’s a subdivision with multiple ingress/ egress options so there’s minimal impact to traffic,” Spieldenner said. While there were a large number of power outages in the area, power companies report most had power by the next day at the latest. About 1,250 customers in Powhatan experienced outages due to the storm that was passing through the Dominion Power service area, spokeswoman Daisy Pridgen said. Those customers were restored at various times as crews made repairs, but all were back on by 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 18. Southside Electric Cooperative reported 146 members without power in Powhatan as a result of the storm, and the average restore time was about 45 minutes, said Lauren Irby, communications specialist.

Darlene Bowlin of Powhatan lived through one of the worst moments of the storm when it touched down on her family farm on Petersburg Road, but she said she still knows the outcome could have been worse. Bowlin was at home with her boyfriend when the emergency tornado warnings came through their phones. She quickly drove to the home of her 94-year-old mother about a half mile down the road, and the two hunkered down in the hallway as the storm approached. Her mother’s house is across from the farm, and Bowlin said when she heard what sounded like a freight train passing by, she was terrified. “I could see out of the front door of her house from the middle of the hallway and I could see probably the tornado twirling over at the farm at that point, and it was going away,” Bowlin said. When the storm passed, she tried to go back to her house to check on her boyfriend but the driveway was blocked by five huge trees that had blown over. He was fine and they would soon start clearing. She also checked on the 100 cattle and 10 horses she raises at the farm. She found about eight huge downed cedar trees and the tornado damaged an old hay shed, but all of the animals were fine. “The path of the tornado went the best possible route it could have taken, because the route it went, the cows were on the right side and the horses were on the left side, so it missed all the animals,” she said.

Sheriff warns against aggressive driving By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN –Aggressive driving can put everyone on the road at risk, and Sheriff Brad Nunnally said his deputies will be on the lookout to curb the behavior. Nunnally said he wanted to remind local drivers about the law regarding aggressive driving in light of the number of serious road rage and aggressive driving cases handled by the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office this year. There is also the consideration of the number of complaints that either don’t have enough information to investigate or are never reported. Aggressive driving has a detailed definition that covers a range of offenses. According to Virginia Code, a person is

of their way,” he said.

Caught unaware The latest incident that has officials concerned occurred on Friday, Sept. 14, on Three Bridge Road, 1 mile east of Millmount Parkway. At about 4:36 p.m., the Virginia State Police received a call from a female driver in a 2016 Ford Escape reporting a male driver in a 2003 Honda Odyssey driving aggressively and striking her in the rear of

guilty of aggressive driving if the person violates one or more of the following: drive on right side of highways; failure to observe lanes marked for traffic; following too closely; not stopping or failing to yield right-of-way before entering certain highways; evasion of traffic control devices; passing when overtaking a vehicle; when overtaking vehicle may pass on right; driver to give way to overtaking vehicle; driver to give way to certain overtaking vehicles on divided highway; limitations on overtaking and passing, any provision of article 8 of chapter 8 of title 46.2 (speed), or stopping on highways. These are Class 2 misdemeanors. More detailed definitions of these are linked to Virginia Code § 46.2-868.1 on https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode.

her vehicle, according to Sgt. Keeli L. Hill, public information officer for the state police. The trooper’s preliminary investigation upon arrival at the scene reveals that the driver of the Odyssey, identified as Matthew Coltelluccio, 22, of Powhatan, was traveling westbound on Three Bridge Road and struck the female driver of the Ford Escape in the rear three times before being stopped by the trooper. The female driver and a small child passenger were not injured in the crash and neither was

The code said a person is also guilty of aggressive driving if that person is a hazard to another person or commits an offense with the intent to harass, intimidate, injure or obstruct another person. This is a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 12 months in jail and a $2,500 fine. “Aggressive driving has the potential to cause fatalities on our highways. The sheriff’s office is on the lookout for aggressive driving and will be ticketing people for it if it meets the code,” he said. Nunnally also pointed out that Powhatan County roads would be much safer for everyone if drivers would cut out the distractions in their vehicles that could keep them from reacting in time, with special emphasis on phone use.

According to court records, Coltelluccio has been charged with driving while intoxicated, first offense; assault and battery (with automobile, ramming other vehicle); aggressive driving with the intent to harass, intimidate or obstruct another person; and possession of marijuana, first offense. The crash remains under investigation. Another case where a victim was caught unaware by another driver’s reckless actions occurred on Feb. 15. Richard James Conk, 19, of Camden Wyoming, Delaware, pleaded guilty on Sept. 7 to involuntary manslaughter in the case involving a headon collision in Powhatan County that killed Michael Issac Thompson, 22, of Midlothian. The two-vehicle crash happened just before 4:42 p.m. on Feb. 15 near the intersection of Huguenot Trail (Route 711) and Aston Trail. Conk, driving a 2002 BMW M3, was accused of traveling eastbound on Huguenot Trail and attempting to pass another vehicle on a hillcrest when he struck a 2004

Honda Civic driven by Thompson head-on as he was traveling westbound. In that instance, Conk was driving aggressively and tailgating the vehicle in front of him in the moments before he tried to cross double yellow lines near the top of a hill to pass the car and ended up crashing into the oncoming vehicle, which he couldn’t see. Conk changed his plea to guilty halfway through his trial and is currently awaiting sentencing.

Seeing red While alcohol and drug use might have played a factor in the most recent case, in many cases it was poor decision-making and bad tempers, sometimes on both sides, that led to an escalation and possible incident, Cerullo said. He had several examples at the ready. In January, Tennis G. Hicks, 50, of Powhatan was arrested on Jan. 24 and charged with the attempted aggravated malicious wounding of a Goochland man. Hicks allegedly shot a gun into a pickup truck that passed him while driving on Anderson Highway the afternoon of Jan. 24. According to court records, the victim told officers he was driving west on Anderson Highway near Bell Road in a green 1993 Ford pickup when he drove up behind another vehicle and attempted to pass it. The victim said the driver of the other vehicle took actions to prevent his passing by speeding up. After a short period, the victim passed the other vehicle. After passing the vehicle, the victim looked out his rear view mirror and saw the driver of the vehicle “pointing something at him with his left hand outside the driver’s window.” “The victim then heard a loud bang like a gunshot and his rear window exploded. A bullet then passed through his rear view mirror, cracked his window and landed on his dashboard,” Detective B.W. Nice wrote in a search warrant. Cerullo said Hicks alleged he was aggravated by the victim

lane roads with little or no shoulders, so running off the road here can cause major injuries or worse, he said. There are also blind curves and blind hills to consider, which are places he highly recommends slowing down. “The fact of the matter is, we don’t have the shoulders and the other things that benefit you when you do wrong. Out here, people have to pay attention to their driving – not to mention the wildlife that is coming in and out of the roadway all the time and the occasional farm animal,” Nunnally said. Nunnally added that if deputies in his office deem “your actions justify charging you with aggressive driving, we will take advantage of the aggressive driving code to remove dangerous drivers from our roadway.”

first tailgating him and then flicking him off. Hicks is currently charged with aggravated malicious assault, use of firearm in a felony first offense, and shooting at or throwing missiles into a vehicle while occupied. He is being held without bond. In an incident that occurred on July 30 and also involved a firearm, a driver reported trying to pass a vehicle driving in the left lane by going around him in the right, Cerullo said. The victim told law enforcement that the vehicle in the left lane, allegedly driven by Isaac Lunsford of Providence Forge, sped up. The two vehicles ended up driving parallel to each other for a stretch of time. “Then, when they got to the intersection of (Route) 60 and Red Lane, Isaac pulled out a large silver revolver in a brown holster from a bag in the passenger seat and placed it on the dashboard. The victim backed off and called 911,” Cerullo said. Lunsford told police that when the car passed him on the right, the driver began honking and flicked him off, Cerullo said. He also told police he did pull his revolver from his bag and place it on the dashboard because “he didn’t know what (the other driver) intended and just wanted to protect himself,” Cerullo said. Lunsford has been charged with brandishing a weapon. In yet another incident that occurred on May 20, a motorcyclist came up behind a car on Rocky Ford Road and was trying to pass the vehicle on a section with double yellow lines. The car’s driver tried to block the motorcyclist from passing by repeatedly swerving to the center of the road, Cerullo said. The motorcyclist eventually did pass and started to brake check the car, Cerullo said. Finally, first the car and then the motorcyclist pulled over and heated words escalated to blows being exchanged. Neither driver has been identified yet because charges have yet to be filed in the investigation. The last case Cerullo highlighted resulted from a citizen’s complaint brought directly to the magistrate because of an incident on Aug. 15. The man who swore out the complaint alleged that Chandler Powers, a female driver, tailgated him on Mill Quarter Road so he started brake checking her. When the male driver turned off into a subdivision, he said Powers followed him, pulled in front of him, and exited her car, Cerullo said. When she began screaming at him,

he called 911. Powers has been charged with reckless driving.

Don’t escalate While he didn’t offer opinions on specific cases, Cerullo did highlight some of the general behaviors that can escalate a road rage or aggressive driving situation. If another driver is driving aggressively, he warned people not to engage with those drivers. Behaviors such as tailgating, crossing double yellow lines, and attempting to pass should not be met with brake checking, making rude gestures, purposely blocking someone’s path or other actions that are only adding more hazards to the situation, Cerullo said. Cerullo said the majority of road rage incidents involve bad behavior on both sides, where “both people involved are taking an action that they probably know better and it is infuriating the other driver. Then it gets escalated from there.” “It is not your job as a citizen to decide whether another person’s actions are safe or not. You take care of what you are doing; you stay in your lane. Don’t be trying to block people. Don’t be trying to keep people from passing. You just try to concentrate on your driving,” he said. If people genuinely feel they are in danger, he advised calling 911 and driving directly to the sheriff’s office or state police headquarters in Powhatan, he said. Cerullo also pointed out that the cases he mentioned were only the ones where charges could be considered or filed because both parties were identified. He said the sheriff’s office sometimes receives calls where they call to report an incident but didn’t get the license plate number or are unable to give an adequate description of the other driver or vehicle. “This is just a microcosm of the problem in Powhatan because there are more calls coming in,” he said. So far in 2018, the sheriff’s office has received 23 calls specifically categorized as road rage complaints, compared with 37 in all of 2017, said Anne Reynolds, crime analyst. She pointed out that this does not account for calls that might have been categorized under a different description, such as reckless driving, or that were never reported at all by citizens.

Mock historical trial doesn’t feel so past tense By Laura McFarland News Editor

I sentenced a witch to death last week. But I was really broken up about it. Let’s back up before I start a rumor that there are crazy witch-killing people running around Powhatan County. On Friday, Sept. 14, I attended an evening event at Agecroft Hall in Richmond called “The Case Against Martha Wheeler: A Witch Trial Based on 17th Century Texts.” It was part play and part historical re-enactment to show how a witch trial might have looked and sounded in England in the 1600s. I am intrigued by learning about different parts of history, so I attended and invited a couple I thought might enjoy it as well. The “trial” was held in the Great Hall of the transplanted manor house (which I love and highly recommend for a visit). Before the event started, a jury of 11 people was chosen to hear the evidence presented in the trial and offer a verdict. Both my friend Lorisa and I served on the jury, because watching a re-enactment is entertaining but getting involved is what makes the experience come alive. A jury at the time actually would have been comprised of men 21 years and older who owned property, which is the lens through which we were asked to try to view the trial. The case was laid out for us. Martha Wheeler was a cunning woman, or folk healer, who was accused of bewitching her neighbors. Her defenders were her mother and her husband. Her accusers were two female neighbors, a traveling “witch finder,” and a local clergyman. I also should add the judge, since he very clearly took sides from the beginning of the trial. The two women laid out their accusations first. A child died, the mother was consumed with grief and took her own life, and the grandmother wanted vengeance against the healer woman who not only didn’t save them but then married her former son-in-law. The other woman was an obvious doddering fool who spoke of seeing Martha performing dark arts in the cemetery. She also described how her granddaughter said Martha was “fascinating.” (We later learned the origin of the word meant to bewitch or cast under a

spell by a look.) The witch finder, who traveled all over successfully finding witches in various English communities, talked of tests he had given Martha, such as throwing her in a lake. If she floated, the devil had saved her. If she drowned and died, she was innocent and would receive her reward in Heaven. He also claimed she was impervious to injury and did an unconvincing test where he pretended to stab her, except switching the real knife for a fake one as he performed the test. When Martha’s mother tried to testify, it was brought up that her own mother was tried for witchcraft by the family of the first woman accusing her daughter. After a few minutes the judge basically discounted her testimony. Martha’s husband spoke of her kindness and desire to help others, but the opposition basically insinuated he was bewitched. When the jury went out, we started talking about the various testimonies, ranging from the obvious complicated family history between the accuser and accused to the fake knife to how both witnesses for Martha had already pretty much been discredited in court. Then I spoke. Let me preface this by saying I went into the trial thinking I was going to vindicate all of the men and women who were murdered, ostracized, shunned, tortured, and abused with a not guilty verdict

if the evidence was preposterous. But as I watched the trial and saw how Martha and her defenders were treated and thought about what I have learned about witch trials in history and through my own interests, that is not what I did. Instead, I told the 10 other jury members that if we were really supposed to put ourselves in the mindset of a 17th century jury, which was made up of normal, everyday property-owning men, then the trial was decided as soon as two respected men testified against her. Given the rights of women at the time, or lack thereof, and the pervasiveness of superstition as an explanation for the unknown, a jury would have found her guilty. So we did in an 8-3 vote, enough for a death sentence. Martha’s screams as she left the courtroom felt very real and left me feeling like someone had punched me in the stomach. It was an evocative piece of theater that led me to do a little more reading on the subject, which is both fascinating (watch that word) and grotesque. The historical record would be enough to make anyone nauseous, but the fact that witch trials still occur in some countries today is doubly so. But while it would be easy to say they are limited to countries with high poverty and low education rates, I think it also would be untrue to believe that the United States is immune to the fear, ignorance, and scapegoatism that fuel these kinds of acts against people who look different or hold different beliefs. Accusers might be driven by politics, prejudice, money, power, fame, or other personal reasons. There are many people who lived through an example of modern-day witch trials with Joseph McCarthy and the House Un-American Activities Committee. In a way, it felt like being back in school, when a teacher would tell us about happenings in history and make us think about how those experiences or what we learned from them could be applicable today. There is good reason for teachers to do that when we are young, but there also is very good reason for us to continue doing it as adults. That way, when we get into the jury box – literally or figuratively – we can make sure we don’t repeat all of the same mistakes as people who came before us.

Well prepared or not, dodging the bullet is still the best outcome By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

It all began at the deli. Standing in line on a recent Sunday night waiting patiently to purchase meat for the following week of lunches, I felt a tug on my arm and was greeted by an old friend. It was one of the “school” dads that has a group of kids who have attended school with my children since kindergarten. “I don’t have to ask what you are doing,” I joked to him. We exchanged small talk, mostly about the children and their progress, and the many years we’d attended everything from recitals to field days together. When the subject turned to employment, I asked him about his job at Dominion, and his reaction should have alerted me to the impending doom that would be Hurricane Florence. “They’re talking 20 inches of rain,” he said with a startled tone. It was the first I’d heard of the impending storm, or certainly the first time I’d actually paid any attention to the forecast. As I moved to the produce section, it was immediately evident that most folks had gotten the news long before me. There wasn’t a cucumber left in the

house, or any other type of fresh vegetable. It seemed like Virginians were heeding the early warnings and making their traditional grocery store buyout runs before the storm arrived. I headed for my standard backup plan of peanut butter and jelly, a sure staple of our emergency kit, but, again, no luck. The shelves were already laid barren by a frantic group of shoppers who, by appearances, were preparing for the apocalypse. I surrendered and left the store with only the sliced ham and turkey, and scurried home to watch The Weather Channel to see exactly what Florence had in store for us. The forecast was dismal and it appeared Richmond might be in a direct line of impact, and surely would receive inches and inches of rain even if the storm passed south of the city. The following days found me flowing with a sea of others from one grocery store to another searching for bottled water and gathering other vitals for the impending storm. As the storm altered its predicted course and slammed into North and South Carolina, I joined many others in a collective sigh of relief. On the positive side, we had enough water and peanut butter to last a month. As life slowly returned to normal

around here, Florence was wreaking havoc on our southern neighbors, and it didn’t take a genius to realize what could have been had the storm ticked just a little to the north. On my return to the grocery store, its shelves still only half full and dotted with huge empty spaces where water once sat, there was almost a sense of disappointment that the hurricane billed as the big one missed us. Some complained the situation had been over-hyped, milking a natural disaster for ratings and using misery as a form of entertainment. For others, the good fortune of being out of the storm’s violent path left them with a feeling of neglect or solitude. Still, others lamented the loss of a day of school that may be well needed when the winter storms arrive. And, of course, more than a majority of the people I spoke with complained that the weather service had issued less than accurate predictions prior to the storm. “You can never depend on what they say, “ one lady said to me. I suppose advanced age has instilled a good sense of “Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth” philosophy in me, and I don’t exactly understand the disappointment or annoyance. It didn’t require an expert to realize

the impacts of a storm that did, as the weather service predicted, slam into the East Coast with winds and more than 20 inches of rain, altering the lives of millions and costing more than dollars in damage. Late Friday evening, I proceeded to the place that is second only to the National Weather Service regarding storm information: the local Waffle House. While sitting at the counter waiting for a waffle for one of my children, the conversation was brisk regarding the region’s good fortune to dodge such a hideous bullet. Some laughed about the possibilities while others lamented the plight of the millions who still find themselves dealing with Florence, but one elderly gentleman had the most prolific view on the latest weather. “There are two kinds of people when it comes to hurricanes,” he said. “There are the ones who have lived through one and the ones who haven’t.” This time, we are lucky enough to be included in that latter referenced group, and, if one lives long enough, you’ll find yourself in the first. Either way, I was just thankful that our community was spared this time from the upheaval and heartbreak those wind and waves can bring, but also mature enough to know that next time, we might not be so lucky.

CLINIC Continued from pg. 1

tors, nurses, lab technicians, nursing assistants, and administrative staff, supplemented by a parttime nurse practitioner, whose salary was funded by Bon Secours. In testament to the volunteer spirit of the Powhatan community, the Free Clinic operated for many years with only a few paid staff. While the growth in number of patients and the expansion of many services has required the addition of paid staff members, 10 years later, the majority of professional and administrative personnel at the clinic are volunteers. The next need was a facility. The Powhatan Department of Health had much of what the clinic needed – a waiting room, examining rooms, lab room, and a small area that could be used for an office – and it offered that space to the Free Clinic, meaning it now had its home! At first, the Free Clinic provided only primary care medical services, which included lab and imagery services, specialty physician care, and prescription assistance. However, the clinic quickly realized the urgent need for dental care, and many Powhatan dentists volunteered their time and skills to treat the hundreds of dental patients. Soon to follow was mental health services, women’s health care, and then case management. The Free Clinic of Powhatan was now offering complete health services to the low-income, uninsured Powhatan community. Thankfully, gone were the days when Powhatan uninsured residents set their own broken bones, pulled out their infected, pain-filled teeth, “super-glued” broken teeth together, and went without prescription medicines because they couldn’t afford the $10 co-pay. The Free Clinic had arrived.

Partnerships and supporters The clinic rapidly partnered with Bon Secours, HCA Health Services, and the Richmond Academy of Medicine to receive valuable medical equipment and services. Ten years later, Bon Secours continues to pay the salary of the clinic’s nurse practitioner, while also providing the analyses for all its lab specimens. For 10 years, HCA and Chesterfield Imaging have supplied all the clinic’s imaging services (Xrays, MRIs, CAT scans, and mammograms). Additionally, the Richmond Academy of Medicine’s Access Now program provides specialty medical care to clinic patients. These critical services are invaluable to the Free Clinic and its patients. In its founding and establishment, the clinic has benefited from the generous support of many Richmond area foundations, hospitals, and organizations. The Richmond Memorial Health Foundation, The Community Foundation of Richmond and Central Virginia, and The Lipman Foundation realized the vital need for a clinic to serve the uninsured, low-income residents of Powhatan, and they supported the establishment of the clinic with monies to purchase the startup medical needs, office equipment, and supplies. Ten years later, many local and national foundations continue to support the clinic. The Clinic provided prescription services for many years through a partnership with the Greggs’ Powhatan Pharmacy. More recently, the Powhatan Walmart is providing a discounted rate to the clinic for its patients’ prescriptions. The clinic also partners with the CrossOver Clinic and many pharmaceutical companies to receive patients’ medicines at no cost to the patients. The clinic has had the contin-

ued support of the Powhatan community through its generous donors, large and small businesses, civic organizations, and local churches. Many church groups prepare delicious meals for the Monday evening clinic staff. One local church donates “food bags” for the patients who need food until they can visit a local food pantry. Another church donates “women’s health bags.” Many churches consider the clinic as one of their important missions. One local business gives money each year for the clinic to purchase food and gas gift cards for the clinic patients’ immediate, basic needs. While many clinic patients are employed, health care is unaffordable. Many patients are in dire financial situations, many are diagnosed with anxiety and depression, and many live with chronic pain. The Free Clinic is the only resource for the low income, uninsured residents of Powhatan to receive health services without cost to them. The partnerships the clinic has developed are critical to its ability to be a “health care safety net” for the community.

Free Clinic patients The Free Clinic of Powhatan provides support, help, and understanding for patients with a range of illnesses. Some of the patients lead hard, difficult lives with no job, transportation issues, long-term chronic illnesses, and poor relationships. Some patients use the clinic for a limited period of time until they can return to the work force or find different employment. All the patients need the Free Clinic and the many services it provides. Here are four profiles of Clinic patients: Bob, age 48, family of four, income of $26,000. Serious complications from diabetes. Receives medical and dental services. Phil, age 62, divorced, income of $19,000. Diagnosed with

Diagnosed with hypertension, thyroid cancer, and depression. Receives medical, dental, and mental health services. Linda, age 38, separated, three children, unemployed, income of $17,000 from child support. Diagnosed with depression, diabetes, and kidney disease. Receives medical and dental services.

Future needs Due to poverty, health issues, and various other factors, many of the clinic’s patients have stressful, difficult lives, and most could benefit from talking with a compassionate, non-judgmental professional. The clinic’s short-term goal is to increase its mental health services so that every patient has the opportunity to be introduced to a mental health counselor. Since patients often need medications to help them cope with their daily lives, the clinic now has a psychiatrist on staff to support the patients’ many mental health needs and provide prescriptions, when needed. Due to lack of space at its current location, the clinic has partnered with the Goochland Free Clinic for its dental services. This partnership provides dental cleaning, X-rays, fillings, extractions, and dentures for all clinic patients. The clinic has made a huge impact on the health (and smiles) of Powhatan’s senior population by providing them with free dental care and dentures. Three years ago, the clinic had a very successful dental campaign, raising more than $60,000, to pay for dental costs for the clinic’s dental patients at the Goochland Clinic. These funds helped to provide dental care for more than 250 people, many of whom had been on a waiting list for years.

The clinic’s most critical current need is a larger facility. Presently, the staff works in extremely cramped areas, performing many of their duties in hallways, makeshift offices, and closets. With additional space, the clinic could increase hours, staff, and services, expand its mental health program, and establish its own dental clinic in Powhatan.

Fundraising and donations The clinic continually works to increase its financial support, from both current and new donors, through marketing, participation in events, speeches, and newsletters. The clinic has two annual fund-raising events. For five years, the clinic has partnered with Powhatan Habitat for Humanity in a Valentine Gala, held at The Mill at Fine Creek. This event is a sold-out evening of dancing, delicious food, and an auction. Since 2011, the clinic has sponsored a bike ride each April, which doubles as a fundraising event for the clinic and a publicity tour for the beauty and tranquility of Powhatan County. The clinic has certainly proved its value to the Powhatan community. Since its inception 10 years ago, it has served more than 1,350 citizens, and added numerous services and programs. It takes more than medicine and a doctor to treat a patient. The clinic treats the “whole patient” – physical health, housing, relationships, finances, and mental health. The clinic educates patients about their illnesses, their medicines, and why they need to come to the clinic for a check-up even when they’re not sick. With a current annual budget of $324,000, the clinic makes excellent use of every donor dollar – providing $5.60 in medical services for every $1 donated. Donations to the Free Clinic of Powhatan can be sent to P.O. Box 544, Powhatan, VA 23139. Donations are tax deductible.

Powhatan Today, September 26, 2018 Continued from pg. 1

Powhatan will receive some kind of extension to give them time to look for a new lender. However, they haven’t been able to learn that yet from Plante Moran Real Estate Investment Advisors, the firm handling the sale of the Belmead property for the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament as well as the nuns’ 44-acre Motherhouse property in Bensalem, Pennsylvania. The religious order announced in May 2016 that it would be selling both and received an undisclosed number of proposals and bids by a deadline of December 2016. Plante Moran could not be reached by press time to ascertain more details. With the uncertainty of losing their lender comes the fear that the group has lost its opportunity to keep Belmead from being sold to a developer who “will carve the treasured site into parcels for sale to the highest bidders,” Elton said. “We believe we have a short window of opportunity to be able to close the deal with the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament, or what we anticipate is that they will go to the highest bidder. And the highest bidder might likely be a developer. A developer might likely carve up the estate into smaller parcels,” he said. “And what we know as Belmead on the James and its value as a cultural site and a natural resource site that contributes to the health and wellbeing of the James River and Chesapeake Bay could be lost.” Without exaggerating, Elton said that the sale process “has been a long and

arduous road thus far.” In addition to all of the money worries, they believe that the fact that Belmead Mansion has been closed and boarded up for more than a year has led to untold weather damage to the building. They are not allowed on the property to check its condition or take any steps to preserve it. “We believe based on observations of those that have been on the property that there has been degradation to the St. Francis de Sales School and the Belmead Mansion and other structures. You just can’t leave old structures unattended without heat and air and functioning systems and not expect degradation,” Elton said. “We are very concerned about what is happening with the absence of stewards there to take care of it.” Still, the group is determined to do what it can to move forward with their original plans to purchase Belmead. They are hoping they will be given 60 to 90 days to find a new lender, he said, but he admitted they do not know if that will actually happen. “We believe we know what the property is worth and we are prepared to offer what we had offered before, which was a competitive and, I believe, compelling offer,” Elton said. “If we get down the road a couple of months and we haven’t reached the level that we had originally proposed, we might well propose whatever we can based on the support we have. But we all believe the closer we can get to our original offer, the stronger our proposal will be.” Dr. Demetrius Venable, president of Belmead on the James Inc. said,

“Belmead is considered one of the nation’s most threatened cultural treasures by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. We believe it is imperative that we immediately identify lenders who will help purchase Belmead before it is sold to a buyer who might not share our goal of preserving this unique property.” In 2018, the Powhatan County Assessor’s Office valued Belmead at approximately $7,232,500, according to the nonprofit. Because of confidentiality agreements, Elton could not reveal how much money the group of nonprofits that had banded together had bid during its attempts to purchase the 2,265-acre property. Nor could he reveal how much they are short now that they have lost their principal lender. What Elton could say was that Belmead on the James Inc. had worked with development professionals and financial advisors to craft a five-year plan that would have enabled it to repay the lender’s loan. The nonprofit had already garnered more than $1 million in commitments to help repay the loan for the purchase of Belmead. Plante Moran never confirmed that Belmead on the James Inc. was the winning bidder for the sale. The closest the process came to any kind of public commitment was while the group was vying for a grant from the Virginia Land Conservation Foundation (VLCF). The grant in support of the purchase of Belmead was submitted by the Virginia Outdoors Foundation, on behalf of the com-

bined efforts of a number of groups, including the Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund, Belmead on the James Inc., the Capital Region Land Conservancy, the Department of Historic Resources and more, Elton said. The group was awarded $750,000 to support the future acquisition of Belmead on the James. A letter was included in the grant application submitted on behalf of the Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund and several other groups, including Belmead on the James Inc. The letter from Richard G. Rasmussen III with the Law Offices of McCallum & Kudravetz, the firm representing the religious order, said “this letter confirms the Virginia Conservation Legacy Fund, Inc. was the winning bid. My firm and I are working with VCLF’s attorney to finalize the Purchase Sale Agreement and related documents. All major terms and the form of the transaction documents have been agreed to by both parties at this time. I expect the closing of this transaction to occur in the very near future.” Elton said the grant is now up in the air since it was conditional on the group closing on the property, having the land transferred to it and a conservation easement being placed on the balance of the land. Belmead on the James Inc. formed in 2016 with the goal of acquiring the historic Belmead property and preserving intact as much of it as possible for the benefit of present and future generations of Americans, as well as to preserve the cultural, historical, spiritual, ecological, and educational legacy

associated with the property, Elton said. He called the property “one of the most remarkable landscapes in America; its history and conservation value to the James River and Chesapeake Bay make this a top conservation priority for Virginia.” According to a release from the group, Belmead on the James, Inc. has more than 4,000 supporters, including Alumni of St. Emma Military Academy (the only military school ever founded in the United States for young black men of high school age) and St. Francis de Sales High School (a Catholic boarding school founded for African American young ladies). During their years of operation (from 1895 to 1972), both schools overlooking the James River were located on Belmead’s gently rolling hills and forested land. St. Emma Military Academy was founded by Colonel Edward Morrell and Louise Drexel Morrell. St. Francis de Sales was founded by St. Katharine Drexel, founder of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament for Indian and Colored People, who subsequently became the

Keep out: Repelling deer and other garden pests Clean business By Virginia McCown

Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardener

Question: How can I prevent deer from destroying my vegetable and other gardens?

Answer:

Just between us species, I gave up attaching dog hair to bamboo sticks, shaving off Irish Spring soap to sprinkle along borders, and applying hot pepper spray to foliage between rainfalls. Canine motion detectors proved to be unreliable. Before long the family pets and the cloven-hoofed rogues accepted one another in their own concept of balance: live and let live. So I erected an 8-foot fence. That took care of MOST of my troubles in the vegetable garden. Yet, let’s face it, this solution is not practical for all gardens and landscaping. We can’t fence in everything. For answers, I consulted with several members of the Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardeners Association (GPMGA):

Invisible fencing for deer “My favorite (solution) is to stretch

fishing line between 3-foot rebar posts,” advises Linda Toler. The posts are earthen-colored, and fishing line is invisible to deer. Deer don't like barriers they can't see and bump into. “I've used this to keep (deer) out of day lilies and hosta planted along the woods,” explains Linda. “It’s successfully changed the deer pathways and trails as well. Just watch out with pets running into the fishing line and make sure children can’t trip and fall on the rebar posts.”

Options to Fencing Besides an 8-foot fence, Terry Festa suggests shorter fencing solutions. “There are slanted styles and double styles.” These alternative designs consume more area around the perimeter of the garden. If space is at a premium, this might not be practical. “An electric fence is effective as long as the power doesn’t go out!” “Don’t forget the rabbits, moles and voles, and what I call the creatures of the night, namely racoons and skunks,” warns Terry. Burying chicken wire underneath the ground can prevent creatures from digging underneath fences. This sub-fencing should extend at least

award seeking applicants

6 inches below the surface. Netting placed above strawberries and other fruiting shrubs can keep birds and squirrels out. Deer are leery of startling sights, unexpected movement, foul and/or intense smells, bad tastes, and offensive sounds. They’re also quick learners and soon learn what is and isn’t a threat. Stationary plastic owls, snakes and scarecrows need to be repositioned or rotated often. Items that wobble or flutter with the breeze—such as pie tins and shiny streamers-- also need to be relocated frequently.

nan of Powhatan. Nyangusi Pelo, 35; Lekipa Lakamet Laizer, 23, and Lupi Mwaipalo, 40, arrived on Sept. 14 and had a few days to rest, she said. But since then, they have been steadily meeting with and speaking in front of churches, civic groups, other organizations, businesses and individuals. The fourth man, Living Mwakibinga, 42, arrived on Thursday, Sept. 20, and began making the rounds almost immediately after he arrived at Brannan’s house, where they are staying, from Dulles International Airport. “He walked in the house. I showed him how to use the shower and told him to get dressed and be ready right away to go to a speaking engagement,” she said. Each of the men offer a different perspective on what Together for Tanzania has done for them and their country. Pelo and Laizer are both from northern Tanzania and are part of the Maasai, a nomadic people known for raising cattle as their primary source of income. Both talked about the lack of education in their culture because the children are expected to take care of the cattle. That is where Together for Tanzania had the biggest impacts on their lives. The nonprofit invested in Pelo by paying for his education for four years so he could become a professional accountant. He currently works for a safari company as its accountant but also does consulting jobs. The nonprofit also has paid for Laizer’s education since secondary school. He is currently studying at a business college to earn his ordinary diploma and hopes to go on to earn a bachelor of business management at a university. With that in hand, he wants to work as a marketing or sales manager or supervisor. “As a Maasai, when we will not have education, we can’t have any life. We will not have anything to do in life. So in my education I have benefited. Now I know how to care for my family,” he said. Laizer was the first person in his family to attend school, but Together for Tanzania is now also paying for his younger siblings – Naomi, Jacob, Moses, Rachel, Naipanoi, and Nosotwa – to attend as well. Sponsoring a student isn’t only about

college's 132nd Commencement Program on Dec. 16, and completed their final requirements during winter quarter 2018. The doctor of chiropractic program at Sherman College requires students to complete approximately 4,600 hours (14 quarters) of classroom and laboratory study and also includes an internship in the college's on-campus Chiropractic Health Center. Sherman College of Chiropractic provides students with a comprehensive education, preparing them to enter the field as doctors of chiropractic who are highly skilled, compassionate, ethical and successful. On its 80-acre campus in South Carolina, Sherman offers a first professional degree program unique in its approach to health care and known globally for the skill and art of chiropractic delivered by graduates. The college's on-campus Health Center, where senior students intern under licensed doctors of chiropractic, provides quality and affordable chiropractic care to the local community with nearly 35,000 visits each year.

paying school fees, although it does do that, Brannan said. The program also helps with supplies, books, uniforms, and sometimes shoes and food. She said that Together for Tanzania currently has 80 students, preschool through master’s, who live all the way from northern Tanzania to the most southern part. They are sponsored by individuals and groups as well as the nonprofit. Mwaipalo is a pastor in Tanzania who met Brannan in 2013 when he was invited to interpret for her. He began learning about what the organization does beyond just coming to speak in churches and started sharing his own ideas with her. Mwaipalo was orphaned at age 14 and taken to a Roman Catholic Center, where he went to school. When he returned to his native area, he had a passion for helping local children and was teaching a preschool in front of his house. He also is the pastor of two churches and farms to support his family, which includes seven children, many of them orphans taken in by he and his wife. Now, he is working with Together for Tanzania to build Save Life English Medium School on 8 acres outside of Kyela in southern Tanzania. It will be a primary school where all instruction will be taught in English, which gives the students better opportunities in the job market. “Building the school will help to change the lives of many children,” he said. His wife, Tumaini Lupi, is currently being sponsored through Together for Tanzania to achieve her master’s in education and will be the school administrator. The group is fundraising for the school, which they are projecting will cost about $97,000 and include an administration building, a toilet building, and nine classrooms. Organizers hope to start building in the fall. But the project is already having an impact on the area since the nonprofit paid to have a well dug at the school site, which will also supply water for the local community. “The water will not help only the school but help the whole community. We are not focusing only on the school but the whole community,” Mwaipalo said. Having a well with clean water close to the area especially affects the lives of young girls, who often have to fetch water miles away for their family, Brannan

The Powhatan Anti-Litter Council is accepting nominations for the 2018 Clean Green Business Award. This is an honor bestowed upon one business each year that is making an exceptional effort to set an example of not only outstanding exterior of their business, but also having good clean practices on the interior. Criteria for selection includes: litter free grounds and parking, ownership commitment to recycling efforts, visible and wellmaintained signage, attractive and well kept building(s), well maintained landscape, and a clear support of community environmental efforts. Businesses must be in operation at their current location in Powhatan for a minimum of one year to be eligible. Council members suggest that residents look at local businesses that encourage clean and attractive operations by complimenting these business owners and employees on the value of pleasing surroundings. Recent Clean Business Award recipients include Inlight Yoga, DRP Collision Repair, Capital Management Financial Advisory Inc, Aerations Plus, Yardworks, PIE Technologies, Garland’s Training Facility, the Mill at Fine Creek, Central Virginia Bank, and Chadwick and Son’s Orchids. The 2018 recipient will be awarded during the Powhatan Board of Supervisor’s meeting in January. This is a great opportunity to acknowledge a business that has taken time and energy to make their work place stand out in a positive way. Submit nominations by the deadline of Nov. 1 to the Powhatan Extension Office at 3910 Old Buckingham Road, or email chowland@vt.edu.

said. “By the time they went and got their safe water and got back, it would be too late to go to school or they were too tired. And sometimes they walk to get water and it may not be safe,” she said. Mwakibinga is a teacher going through a master’s program in school administration, Brannan said. He works with many of the nonprofit’s students. The men have been talking about these experiences and other aspects of life in Tanzania in various meetings around Powhatan and nearby. Pelo said he feels that people are reacting in a positive way when the group comes to speak. “The people are really very kind and generous. They show their willingness to give. Some of them have showed interest also in coming to my country, which is

great,” he said. One of the aspects of Together for Tanzania the men especially noted was the way the nonprofit operates to cut out corruption to make sure aid is given to those who need it. Unlike some international organizations that aren’t involved with local people, the Powhatan nonprofit works with local leaders in-country to make sure the money is getting to the right people. Those local leaders also lead by example by giving back to their communities, which is a lesson they pass on to those being helped by Together for Tanzania so they know the importance of helping others as they were helped.

Powhatan’s Jacob Moss (9) evades a defender from Western Albemarle during the Indians 28-21 loss to the Warriors on Sept. 21 at Powhatan High School. Moss threw for 104 yards and a touchdown.

Indians comeback falls short against Warriors By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

When the Western Albemarle Warriors visited Powhatan on Sept. 21, the Indians saw a very familiar formula in its opponent—run, run and more run. In the battle of the two run-heavy teams, it came down to which defense was able to stop the opposing rushing attack. Unfortunately for the Indians, the Warriors held Powhatan’s running game relatively in check and defeated the Indi-

ans 28-21. “They just beat us,” Indians coach Jim Woodson said. “They beat us up front. We just couldn’t stop them. We gave up two easy scores. You can’t afford to give a good football team two easy touchdown passes. We fought back and got to within one. But, to give those two easy scores, it was difficult to overcome.” The Indians struck first on the night and it was through the air. On its first drive, Powhatan’s Jacob Taylor started things off with a 13-yard run, but was unable to get any traction

thereafter. So, Jacob Moss showed off his arm and started finding holes in the Warriors defense. He hit Jared Somerville twice on the opening drive, including a 19-yard connection. On fourth-and-three, Moss rolled out and found Colby Cheatham in the end zone for a 7-0 Indians lead. Western Albemarle was quick to respond as the combination of Carter Shifflett’s arm and Austin Shifflett’s legs moved the Warriors quickly down the field.

Carter Shifflett had two double-digit runs on the drive and capped it off with a 25-yard touchdown throw to Wyatt Hull for a score. Hull had gotten behind the Indians defense and was all alone in the corner of the end zone to tie the game. Powhatan responded on its next drive and took advantage of a Warriors miscue. On fourth-and-eight, after Jacob Taylor gained 6 yards on third and long following a Moss sack, junior quarterback Lance Fleming was under center and see INDIANS, pg. 2B

Blessed Sacrament suffers first loss of season, 48-0 By Ellis Hopson Contributing Writer

Khadeis Battle (52) takes a fumble recovery for the Knights’ longest run of the night against the visiting Chargers on Sept. 21.

Homecoming week can be a doubleedged sword for any high school football team. The pageantry of the event can energize the team and spur it on to victory, or the emotion of it all can cause the team to come out flat by the time kickoff arrives. Unfortunately, it appeared to be the latter for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in a 48-0 defeat to Isle of Wight Academy on Sept. 21. The Chargers stated their intentions straight from the kickoff, marching down the field on their first drive. An eight-play series that featured back-to-back runs of 23 and 17 yards

gave Isle of Wight an early 7-0 lead. After only gaining 4 yards on their opening drive, Blessed Sacrament Huguneot punted the ball back to the Chargers. A good return gave Isle of Wight great field position at the Blessed Sacrament 27-yard line. Favorable field position for Isle of Wight was a problem that would plague the Knights for much of the game. It took only four plays for the Chargers to double their lead at 14-0. “Our kids just came out flat. Isle of Wight’s a really good team,” Blessed Sacrament head coach Shawn Pickett said. “They were really coached up, and they just came out and executed and we didn’t. That’s the bottom line.” see KNIGHTS, pg 4B

Powhatan field hockey falls to Mustangs in 2OT By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s field hockey team battled hard with Monticello on Sept. 20. Through the first 44 minutes of play, the teams tussled back and forth, with the Indians largely dominating the field, but had no goals to show. Then, in the 45th minute, Monticello broke through and scored. Powhatan was up against the wall with just 15 minutes left to find the equalizer. The Indians did, with just two minutes left in the game, to tie it up. The battle continued, but the stalemate prevailed and the game went to penalty strokes. Monticello edged out Powhatan in those strokes and won the game in double overtime.

tossed a deep ball to Clay Allen-Hamby, who was interfered with by the Warriors defender. The flag came down and gave new life to the Indians’ drive. The penalty moved the ball up to the Western Albemarle 21-yard line and Taylor did the rest. He had a 19-yard run on second down and plunged into the end zone two plays later for a 1-yard score to make it 14-7 Indians. Taylor rushed for 116 yards and the score of the night. However, Western Albemarle running back Austin Shifflett led the Warriors down the field on the next drive, racking up 45 yards on two plays to put the Warriors in scoring position. After back-to-back stops from the 1-yard line by the Powhatan defense, Carter Shifflett scored from 1 yard out to tie the game just before half-

“We’ve had some time off and we weren’t really sharp,” Indians coach Steph Tyson said. “But, we worked out some things and they played with a lot of heart tonight.” The Indians had last played on Sept. 12 in a win over Louisa, which was moved back a day from the scheduled date of Sept. 13. Powhatan had been scheduled to play against James River on Sept. 18, but that game was canceled due to wet fields. “It was really rough,” Tyson said of the schedule changes. “We had some good momentum going. We’ll get it back. This group of kids is amazing, they leave it all out there.” Despite the break, the Indians came out against the Mustangs and earned three corners within the first 13 minutes of play.

On all three of those chances, the Indians put pressure on the Monticello net, but the shots were wide or were cleared by the defense. In the 27th minute, Danielle Bigham had a shot off a corner chance that went high. The Indians weathered two corners earned by the Mustangs in the last two minutes of the first half to keep the score even. In the second half, Katlyn Hicks manufactured a chance on a one-timer to Bigham, but was just off on the connection. Bigham earned a corner four minutes later, but the chance was pushed away. “It’s frustrating,” Tyson said of the early domination. “We’ve had that a few times this year…the last three games, we’ve scored a bunch of goals and this

time. In the second half, both teams opened the quarter with an exchange of punts. The Indians had some momentum going on its second drive of the game, but Western Albemarle forced a fumble and recovered it to set up a short field. The Warriors struck quickly with a 12-yard run from Carter Shifflett to put Western ahead 2114. Early in the fourth quarter, an 18-yard touchdown run from Austin Shifflett put Western ahead 28-14. “Those two easy touchdowns changed the momentum,” Woodson said. “We’d been playing so well on defense. We stuffed them and it was our kind of game. Then, they reversed on us and started pounding away.” Powhatan was unable to respond quickly to the Warriors lead, but fortunes turned late in the fourth quarter. The Indians defense

forced a Warriors punt and Somerville had an electrifying return. He ran up the left side, reversed field and brought it back over 50 yards and was one defender away from returning it all the way for a score. A fumbled snap on third-and-four set the Indians back from their prime field position, but Moss scrambled out of trouble on fourth down and found Cheatham for the second time in the game in end zone for a score to make it 28-21. Powhatan attempted an onside kick, which had a perfect bounce, but was unable to fall back into the Indians’ possession and Western kneeled out the game. Moss was nine-for-10 for 104 yards and two touchdowns and the one interception. Woodson said the timing in that element of the offense was just a bit off. “The execution wasn’t there,” Woodson said. “We’ve got injuries and

game put us back to where we were.” Soon thereafter, the Mustangs earned a corner and eventually scored in the 45th minute on a shot from left-to-right to make it 1-0. The Indians turned up the intensity and earned multiple corner chances in the 48th, 50th, and 54th minutes, but all were defended by Monticello or shots went out of bounds. In the 58th minute, Calie Rehme earned a corner chance for the Indians and Bigham broke through to tie the game with just two minutes remaining in regulation. In the first overtime, the Indians had a golden opportunity in the 10th minute, as they had multiple shots point blank on the goal, but were unable to find an opening to score. One minute later, Hicks

sent a shot on net, but it was saved. Monticello lost a defender on an ensuing corner due to a false start, but the Indians couldn’t take advantage of that opportunity. The Indians had a few more shots on net in the overtime period, including a corner chance as time expired in the overtime period, but couldn’t find the back of the net. The game was decided by penalty strokes, and while Hicks and Hanna Hathaway converted their strokes, Rehme and AnnaGrace Causey missed on their tries. Monticello was four-for-four on their strokes and won the game. While the loss was a setback for the Indians, it earned them good experience that could come up later this year. “We’ll take this loss, re-

member it and move forward,” Tyson said. “You can’t re-enact (penalty strokes) in practice. We try to make it a competition, but you can’t re-enact how it feels to put your heart out there and lose. We just need to remember how this feels and move on.” Another experience point for the Indians comes from the blend of experience levels on the team. “We have such a weird mix,” Tyson said. “We have this group of veterans, who know how to win, and then we have these young players, like Peyton (Tuttle) who is a freshman and had to be stuck in goal. She’s probably done five (penalty strokes) in her entire life.” The Indians hit the road on Sept. 25 to take on Albemarle before returning home on Sept. 27 to take on Orange.

people out…the timing just isn’t there. A guy has been out all week and you put a sub in and the timing is off. We just need to get everyone healthy.” The game against the Warriors was the first live

action the Indians had seen since Sept. 7 against Caroline. Powhatan’s game against Hopewell was moved from Sept. 14 to Sept. 17 to avoid the forecasted path of Hurricane Florence and was

outright cancelled on Sept. 17 due to wet field conditions. “Certainly that has something to do with it,” Woodson said. “We’ve been away for a long time.”

Joe Gibbs Racing driver Kyle Busch (18) performs his victory burnout on the frontstretch at Richmond Raceway after his win in the Federated Auto Parts 400 on Sept. 22. Busch battled with Brad Keselowski over 40 laps for the top position before eventually pulling away for the win.

Busch goes worst-to-first to win Federated 400 By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

yle Busch didn’t have the best starting position when the green flag fell on the Federated Auto Parts 400 on Sept. 22 at Richmond Raceway. In fact, he had the worst. Busch started at the rear of the field due to unapproved adjustments to the car after damage during qualifying. But, despite the setback, he worked his way up through the field throughout the race. After a restart on Lap 332, Busch and Brad Keselowski battled back-andforth over the course of 40 laps. But, Busch prevailed and secured the win at Richmond in the second race of the NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series playoffs. It was Busch’s 50th career win in the top-tier series and his sixth win at Richmond Raceway. It was his first win in the fall race at Richmond and he swept both races at Richmond Raceway in 2018. “It’s really good to have the win,” he said. “Any time you can punch your ticket to the next round that makes it even better. I don’t know what was eluding us from winning in the fall. But, we got it done. The car wasn’t great early, but we made some adjustments and it really woke up. Winning anywhere is cool because you know you get to celebrate with your team and take home a trophy.

The fall one is more special because it’s late in the season. It feels good to get a win later in the season.” Busch and Keselowski started their battle on Lap 341 when Keselowski passed Busch after the only caution of the race. Busch came back and was side-by-side with Keselowski on Lap 352 and the two were within a carlength of each other for the next 21 laps. During that time, the two were drag racing down the back stretch, side-byside through the corners and not allowing either car to gain much of an advantage. “It was a little nervewracking,” Busch’s crew chief Adam Stevens said of the battle. “He was pressing us as hard as we could to keep us behind him and Kyle was pressing as hard as he could to get by him.” After Busch cleared Keselowski on Lap 363, Keselowski started fading from Busch’s bumper. Kevin Harvick, who sat on the pole for the race, caught Keselowski and passed him on Lap 372. Harvick closed on Busch and Keselowski during their lengthy battle and pounced on Keselowski once he started to fade. Harvick tried to run down Busch, but ran out of time to catch leader and finished second. “We were definitely gaining a little bit of ground,” Harvick said. “We didn’t have enough time ot get all the way to him. But, our guys did a great job rebounding after last weekend and doing

what we had to do this week to put ourselves in a good position for next week. So, solid night.” “My stuff was really, really used up,” Busch said. “I lost tons of grip in those last 10 laps.” Martin Truex Jr. dominated the first two stages of the race. In the first stage, Truex took the lead from Harvick on Lap 40 and didn’t relinquish the lead for the duration of that stage, a space of 60 laps. Truex led flag-to-flag in stage two as well. All told, he led 163 of the race’s 400 laps, the most on the night by a long shot. “I just don’t know what we have to do to win one of these things,” Truex said. “To be so good and lead all these laps, we find all kinds of ways to miss it here. We recovered well and we did what we came here to do and that’s to move on to the next round.” But, coming off pit road prior to stage three, Truex succumbed to an uncontrolled tire penalty on pit road and was sent back in the field. “You’ve just got to move on from it,” he said. “If you start yelling and screaming at (the pit crew), they’re just going to do worse the next stop. For me, I let Cole and the guys in the pit handle it. I just do all I can do behind the wheel to get back to the front. It was a good recovery. Their stops after that were all good. We had a new front tire changer this week and thought he did a really good job. Aside

Christopher Bell (20) holds a narrow lead over Justin Allgaier (7) in the opening laps of the Go Bowling 250 at Richmond Raceway on Sept. 21. Bell would go on to win the race and was the first of a weekend sweep at Richmond Raceway for Joe Gibbs Racing.

from the penalty, we were probably the fastest we’ve been on pit road in a while.” Chase Elliott finished fourth, Aric Almirola finished fifth, Austin Dillon was sixth, Kyle Larson was seventh, Jimmie Johnson was eighth, Keselowski was ninth and Clint Bowyer rounded out the top 10. Former Chesterfield resident Denny Hamlin finished 16th. It was the first time that Richmond hosted a playoff race. Previously, the track was the final race prior to the playoffs beginning and had held that spot since the Chase format was introduced in 2004. The win for Busch secured his spot in the Round of 12. Keselowski had already secured his spot in the next round of the playoffs after his win the previous week at Las Vegas and Truex clinched a spot in the next round as well based on points.

The NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series heads to Charlotte Motor Speedway for the third round of the opening round of the playoffs and will race on the roval configuration there.

XFINITY SERIES Christopher Bell started the Go Bowling 250 in front Friday night. He ended the race in the same position, but in between, he had to battle to stay near the front. As the Go Bowling 250 entered the final 25 laps, it looked like Matt Tifft might steal away with the win. But an accident in Turn 3 between Cole Custer and Justin Allgaier triggered a caution that gave Bell a chance to get the jump on the rest of the field. He claimed his fifth and most important lead of the night on the final restart and held it to win

the first Xfinity Series playoff race held at Richmond Raceway. Bell said adjustments to the No. 20 Rheem Toyota by crew chief Jason Ratcliff were key. “We weren’t the dominant car by any means,” he said. “But Jason did an excellent job of tuning that thing and getting it right at the right time. It was kind of the story of our day. “Even qualifying, we were, I’m not going to say mid-back car, but I think we were fifth to tenth in each round of qualifying until the last round. He put the magic setup on it and we went out there and got the pole. … I was right there in the hunt and would fall back a little bit. When it mattered, he put the tune-up on it.” Mechanicsville Local Sports Editor Dave Lawrence contributed to this report.

Roundup: Indians take down Flucos, Mustangs By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s girls volleyball team had two strong wins as it continues to roll through the Jefferson District schedule. Its scheduled game against Fluvanna was delayed by a day to Sept. 19 due to the severe weather that hit the area. The Indians hit the road for a date with the Flucos and an epic match unfolded. Powhatan took down Fluvanna in five sets, 2426, 19-25, 25-21, 25-21, 15-11. Star Bryant had 14 kills, four aces and three blocks for the Indians, while Jordan Davis had 11 kills and two blocks. Natalie Mueller had 38 assists, 11 digs and four kills for the Indians. Sierra Ellison had seven kills. On Sept. 20, the Indians took care of business against Monticello in a three-set sweet 26-24, 2511, 25-22. Ellison had 14 digs and 13 kills for the Indians,

KNIGHTS Continued from pg.1

After another Knights three-and-out, the Chargers started the next drive at midfield. They took advantage of their momentum by scoring on a 37yard catch-and-run, taking a 21-0 lead as the first quarter ended. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our lack of experience just really showed

while Mueller had 19 assists and Maddie Turner had 24 digs. The Indians travelled to Albemarle on Sept. 25 for a matchup with the Patriots and will host Orange on Sept. 27.

win over Louisa on Sept. 20 at Mill Quarter Plantation. Voorhees was the low card for the Indians with a five-over 39. Biringer and Wyatt each shot eight-over 42s, with Brown rounding out the low-four with a 12over 46.

Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s golf team made a statement with its finish in the Jefferson District tournament on Sept. 20 at Old Trail Golf Club. The Indians finished third overall, 11 strokes ahead of Monticello in fourth. Western Albemarle won the district title with a 313, followed by Albemarle with 322. Connor Voorhees led the Powhatan contingent with a 15-over 87, Kory Brown was second with a 16-over 88, followed by Logan Wyattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 19-over 91 and Cullen Biringer shot a 22-over 94. Louisa was fifth in the district, followed by Orange, Fluvanna and Charlottesville. Powhatan continued its hot streak with a 169-189

CROSS COUNTRY

tonight with our cornerbacks and linebackers,â&#x20AC;? Pickett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t execute the way we were supposed to when it came to breaking down and tackling.â&#x20AC;? Special teams would come back to bite Blessed Sacrament Huguenot twice before halftime. A poorly covered punt return down the left sideline set up Isle of Wight at

the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 13-yard line. The Chargers scored a touchdown just three plays later. Another return down the same side was brought all the way back to the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot 4-yard line and Isle of Wight scored two plays later. After recovering a fumble at the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 22yard line, the Chargers

The Powhatan boys and girls cross country teams participated in the Fork Union invitational on Sept. 22. The Indians boys team finished ninth overall in the event with 257 points, five behind Douglas Freeman for eighth. Gavin Timmons led the Indians with a 20th place finish after running a 17:26. Cooper Schardt was 46th for Powhatan with an 18:10. Will Paxton was 64th after running an 18:36, with John Cavedo wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t far behind in 67th with an 18:40. Colton Vosburg was 76th with an 18:57, Logan Allen was 112th with a

20:05 and Noah Allen was 188th with a 22:18. Western Albemarle won the event with 74 points, while Oakton and Albemarle tied for second with 80 points each. On the girls side, Pow-

hatan finished 20th with 496 points, behind St. Anneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s-Belfield and ahead of Waynesboro. Michelle Eggleston finished 59th for the Indians with a 23:11. Ashley Trevillian was

88th with a 24:22. Alexis Elzey was 108th with a time of 25:25, Sophie Dolan was 123rd with a time of 26:08 and Ashley Van Buskirk was 128th with a 26:48.

marched to the goal line in just four plays and scored on a 6-yard touchdown pass to take a 41-0 lead into halftime. The Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fortunes didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t improve much after the break, as the team went three-and-out on three occasions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tried to do some different things, but still stuck to our game plan which is to run the ball. We were still flat in the second half,â&#x20AC;? Pickett said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what was in the air tonight, but it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t BSH football.â&#x20AC;?

After setting up shop deep in Knights territory once again, Isle of Wight plunged in from four yards out to go up 48-0. One of the few bright spots for Blessed Sacrament Huguenot came early in the fourth quarter, when the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense forced an Isle of Wight fumble near midfield. The loose ball was picked up by junior Khadeis Battle, who ran it back to the Isle of Wight 15-yard line. However, the offense

failed to capitalize on perhaps their best opportunity of the game, throwing an interception just three plays later. By the time the clock ran out, Pickett was ready to look ahead to the Knightsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; next game: â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to get ready to go and see how we respond. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be interesting to see how we come out and play next week.â&#x20AC;? Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will be back in action on Sept. 28, when they travel to Grace Christian for a 7 p.m. kickoff.
