All five PCPS schools officially accredited By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – All Powhatan County Public Schools have received accreditation according to the final report from the Virginia Department of Education. Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendent for instruction, gave a presentation to the Powhatan County School Board during its meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 9 about the division’s accreditation for 2018-2019. The board had previously heard on Aug. 28 that a preliminary report indicated all of the schools

would be accredited, but it is official now. Omohundro pointed out that the school division was accredited both using the old system of accreditation and the new School Qualities Profile the Department of Education is implementing. While the accreditation in August focused on the schools’ many successes, including some significant increases in scores, last week’s presentation focused on not only the achievements but where there is room for improvement. Each school was evaluated using school quality indicators that measure their performanc-

es in certain categories. In addition to looking at the overall student body in each school, the accreditation process also considers the school’s performance in certain subcategories: students with disabilities, black students, economically disadvantaged students and Hispanic students. Performance on each school quality indicator is rated at one of the following levels: Level One, meets or exceeds state standard or sufficient improvement; Level Two, near state standard or sufficient improvement, and Level Three, below state standard. Based on these, a school

would either be: accredited, meaning all school quality indicators at either level one or level two; accredited with conditions, meaning a school has one or more school quality indicators at level three; or accreditation denied, meaning a school that fails to adopt or fully implement required corrective actions to address level three school-quality indicators. Omohundro went through how each school did with the school quality indicators. She pointed out that a school’s overall rating in a category could be reduced because of low performance in one or more of the see ACCREDITED, pg. 4

A Richmond man, who was described in court as sympathetic and the product of an abusive and traumatic childhood, but also as a dangerous man, will spend 36 years in prison for the capital murder of a Virginia State Police officer. Travis A. Ball, 28, shot and killed Special Agent Michael T. Walter on May 26, 2017. Walter, who worked with at-risk children and founded a Powhatan community center and wrestling club, died the next day. "Had Mr. Ball had

something like Trooper Walter's gym in his life, to walk with him and guide him through life, we might not be here today," said Kelson Bohnet, one of Ball's attorneys. Minutes before he was shot, Walter called his wife of nearly 20 years as he did most nights while on duty. "We spoke briefly and like always I said ‘Be safe and I love you,'" his widow Jaime Walter testified, reading a statement to the judge that she had written before Thursday's sentencing hearing. "And he always said, ‘Absolutely, see SENTENCED, pg. 5

Denine’s sister Lori Russo had fought the disease, “and that’s why I probably was more careful doing breast exams and all of that.” She had been diligent in going for her routine mammogram every year since the age of 40. “I never missed one; I went every year.” “I just thought I was going to walk out like all the other ones,” she said about the mammo that revealed she had breast cancer.

Special Response Team demonstrates its skills Staff Report Several members of the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office’s Special Response Team attended a two-day training conference and SWAT competition on Oct. 4 and 5 hosted by the Harrisonburg Police Department.

The event provides an opportunity for local, state, and federal SWAT teams located in the Commonwealth to work together and open channels to better provide support for one another during any incident where more resources may be needed. The individuals that make up Powhatan’s Special Response Team do so on a voluntary basis and constantly maintain a level of advanced training and preparedness, Baltimore said. The deputies who attended the training were: Sgt. Matt Baltimore; Sgt. David Hunt, squad leader/ sniper; Sgt. Obie Arrington, squad leader; Sgt. Mike Boggs-K/9, team member; Sgt.

Powhatan among Virginia Become a Master Gardener divisions to receive school security equipment grants Contributed Report

Contributed Report Governor Ralph Northam recently awarded $6 million in School Security Equipment Grants to protect students and teachers in 102 school divisions and the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind. The grants will pay for video monitoring systems, metal detectors, classroom locks, electronic-access controls, visitor-identification systems, direct communications links between schools and law enforcement agencies, and other security upgrades in 443 schools and other instructional facilities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since its inception in 2013, the school security equipment grant program has funded nearly 2,900 new projects and system upgrades to ensure the safety Virginia students and educators,â&#x20AC;? Northam said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These grants are a key component of the Commonwealthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comprehensive approach to protecting schools.â&#x20AC;? Among the divisions awarded the school security equipment grants was Pocahontas Elementary,

which received $7,040. The criteria for making the awards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; developed by the Virginia Department of Education and the state Department of Criminal Justice Services â&#x20AC;&#x201D; give priority to schools most in need of modern security equipment, schools with relatively high numbers of offenses, schools with equipment needs identified by a school security audit, and schools in divisions least able to afford security upgrades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Student safety is always the number one priority of the educators and support personnel in our schools,â&#x20AC;? said Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These grants allow schools to purchase the improvements and technology needed to address the findings of annual security audits.â&#x20AC;? A local match of 25 percent is required of most divisions. The School Security Equipment Grants program was established by the 2013 General Assembly in the aftermath of the December 14, 2012, mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Connecticut.

For instance if two of the student groups score at a Level Two or one group scores at a Level Three in mathematics, that is enough to drop a schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall rating in mathematics to a Level Two. Similarly, if two or more student groups perform at a Level Three, that will drop the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall rating to a Level Three. Omohundro gave a broad overview of each school, pointing out which student groups would need extra attention from educators. All school ratings were Level One unless otherwise indicated, and all ratings less than Level One fell under the category called achievement gaps.

ho are Powhatan and Goochland Master Gardeners? Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people. What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their extension office to provide horticulturalrelated information to their communities.

Is the Master Gardener program for me? To help you decide if you should apply to be a Master Gardener, ask yourself these questions: Do I want to learn more about the culture and maintenance of many types of plants? Am I eager to participate in a practical and intense training program? Do I look forward to sharing my knowledge with people in my community? Do I have enough time to attend training and to complete the volunteer service?

If you answered yes to these questions, the Master Gardener program could be for you. Contact the Powhatan Extension Office at 804-598-5640 or Goochland at 804-556-5841 to request an application for the Master Gardener program by Nov. 1. Classes begin January 8, 2019, are held each Tuesday and Friday morning, and continue until the end of March.

Training If accepted into the Master Gardener program, you will attend a Master Gardener training course. Classes are taught by Virginia Cooperative Extension specialists, agents, and local experts. The program offers a minimum of 50 hours of instruction that covers topics including lawn care, ornamental trees and shrubs, insect, disease, and weed management; soils and plant nutrition, vegetable gardening; home fruit production; garden flowers; and water conservation. Check with your county extension office for specific locations, dates/ times, and fee.

Volunteer commitment In exchange for training, participants are asked to volunteer time to their county extension program. At least 50 hours of volunteer service within one year following the training is required to

ers, math and English specialists; before and after-school tutoring for reading at elementary and middle school (Title IV and PCG funding); already hired an additional math coach at elementary level and a math interventionist at middle school; focused progress monitoring for math and English at middle school; writing intervention for proficiency in sentence writing at middle school; a re-designed equity and diversity committee; increased focus on student growth, and implementing the new strategic plan. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, talked about how the messages coming from the state are that the new accreditation system is supposed to be a â&#x20AC;&#x153;flashlight not a hammerâ&#x20AC;? and how it is â&#x20AC;&#x153;supposed to shine a light on areas where growth is needed and where improvement is needed.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In Powhatan, we have been talking about some of these areas for four or five years. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve talked about some concerns with the performance of our special education students and how we need to improve upon that. The same for some of our other reporting categories,â&#x20AC;? he

said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So, we continue to work on this. It has been a focus for the last couple of years, and we will continue to work on this.â&#x20AC;? As with all new systems, there are challenges, benefits and a learning curve, and all schools in Virginia are learning the new system and how to adapt to it, Jones said. There are some additional requirements that the school will meet, but it is new for the division. After the presentation, several of the board members asked questions about how interventions are implemented for students who need extra support not only now but as they continue through the school system. The goal at the elementary school level is to close the gaps and deficiencies so they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be seen as much at the secondary level, Omohundro said.

you are too beautiful to leave in the world alone.'" That was at 7:12 p.m. He was shot at 7:25 p.m. At 7:30 p.m., she got a news flash on her phone alerting her to a heavy police presence in the Mosby Court public housing complex in Richmond's East End. “I knew this could be my Mike,” she said. "I knew the risk he took, but his death in the line of duty was never supposed to be us." Walter, 45, died early the next morning at VCU Medical Center. “I lost my world, my husband, my best friend and the love of my life," Jaime Walter said. "Austin, Mason and Addison lost their father.” The couple's children were 14, 9 and 6 at the time. They've struggled to cope with their loss, Jaime Walter said. She had to stop working full-time. Their youngest cries for her father every night. The middle child is angry, she said. Their oldest hasn't been to the movies, a favorite pastime he enjoyed with his father, since his death. Richard Fitzsimmons, the president of Blackhawk Gym in Powhatan, talked about Walter and the youth wrestling club they founded more than a decade ago. "It wasn't long until we realized that Mike was there for more than wrestling," Fitzsimmons said. "He was more about character building, mentoring and making productive citizens. These were kids who didn't have much, and he gave them something. He gave them a home, his own." Defense attorneys laid out Ball’s childhood as traumatic and impoverished.

or the adults he lived with. Ball's mother was eight months pregnant when she was shot in the hand and hip by his father, Daniel Murrie, the psychologist said. After his father's death, his mother dated another man who beat her, he said. During a particularly brutal beating, Ball and his two older brothers - there were eight siblings total, including Ball - intervened. When the police arrived the man blamed the children, all of whom got into legal trouble after that. Ball was sentenced to spend two years in juvenile detention during which time he did not receive a single visit, phone call or letter from his family. Andrea Latell, who counseled Ball from 1997 through 2003, said Ball would schedule his own appointments with her and rode his bike there, which was unusual, especially for a 10-year-old, she said. His mother dropped him off once, Latell said, but she was intoxicated and never participated in his counseling sessions or at school. In the only documented visit his mother made to the school, she was ar-

said one of his attorneys, Faith Winstead. "He is a product of a horrible environment." Richmond Commonwealth's Attorney Michael Herring said Ball "is dangerous, and he'll always be dangerous." He asked Circuit Court Judge Beverly W. Snukals to sentence Ball to 60 years in prison, the maximum active sentence allowed under a plea deal Ball agreed to two weeks ago. The lower limit was set at 20 years. "Travis Ball has done to the Walter family precisely what devastated him," Herring said. Herring said after Thursday's hearing that he was shocked and disappointed by the length of the sentence - as were police who were in the courtroom and expressed anger as they left - but Herring said he made the plea deal to guarantee that Ball was convicted of a capital offense, typically punishable by death or life in prison. Prior to the shooting, there was a struggle between Ball and Walter. If the case had gone before a jury, the defense planned to argue that the gun went off accidentally in the midst of that struggle, which could have opened the door for a verdict of a

lesser charge like first-degree or even second-degree murder. Had the case gone to trial, a jury would not have been allowed to hear from Jaime Walter, Herring said, because Snukals had ruled against any victim impact statements at a prior hearing. That would have limited the prosecution's evidence, Herring said. The Be Like Mike Facebook page, which was created in honor of Walter’s legacy, posted a message from Jamie Walter on Sunday, Oct. 14 in which she expressed her devastation with the sentencing, which she said was the second worst day of her life, falling only behind the day her husband was killed. Jamie Walter defended Herring and attorney Learned Barry, whom she said “did fight and have been beyond amazing to my family,” but also wrote about pouring her heart out about what the loss of her husband has done to her family and feeling “it meant nothing to the judge.” “Our justice system is broke, especially in Richmond City. As murder is the everyday ‘common’ theme, it took the judge less than 60 seconds to render her decision, (meaning she knew what (she) had already decided), stating to my children, myself, and the law-enforcement community that because of Travis Ball’s awful childhood it is OK to shoot and kill someone and that it was not a violent crime because it was only one shot, ultimately. That one shot was what killed my husband and my children’s father,” the grieving widow wrote. She went on to write that she believes many people have had things happen in their childhoods but still know right from wrong and either make the decision to become better people or not. Ball chose not to but was not held ac-

countable for his actions, she wrote. “We continue to make excuses for their actions and that’s exactly what was stated on October 11 by Judge (Snukals). Travis never apologized. He only stated, ‘There is too much love to go around, don’t hate me.’ I will also say he has over the last 16.5 months sat in the courtroom smiling, laughing and making many gestures at me,” Jamie Walter said. “There were many statements about second

CANCER Continued from pg. 1

room – cancer survivors – talking about cancer treatments and I’m sitting there not knowing that I have cancer.” Denine was taken into a room where a radiologist performed another test. That result changed her world as she knew it. “During that test the doctor said to me. ‘Get used to the idea that you have breast cancer.’ I didn’t get used to it because it was shocking. But they didn’t know for sure because I had to have a biopsy; I went the next day and got the biopsy. Then I got a phone call the next day saying I had breast cancer. A radiologist called me and told me to come in and discuss it with him.” At that point, Denine expected, based on conversations with the surgeon, she would only have to undergo radiation, because she was Stage 1. As she prepared to start the journey to defeat cancer, Denine said she was fortunate to have a nurse who was a breast cancer survivor. The nurse helped her through the process by telling her what to expect. With the diagnosis, she went to a surgeon who suggested she wait until after the holidays. In addition to removing the cancer, it was recommended that Denine undergo breast reduction. The surgeon said she would be a good candidate, and more tissue could be examined on both breasts. “I thought, ‘Yes, that would be great.’ ” She did agree and had the breast reduction done. The delay was recommended since two surgeons would be coordinating on the procedures. The cosmetic surgeon wouldn’t be available until January. She was going to have breast reduction and a lumpectomy to remove “a very tiny mass about the size of a dime. It wasn’t spreading on my right side.” From November to January, the cancer had gone from Stage 1 to Stage 3B, “so it had spread to my lymph nodes, which is what we found out in the operation. They didn’t know that before they went in. I went in still thinking they were going to take out this little dime size [mass] and then he

(the surgeon) was shocked – so was my family. It didn’t break me, but I was worried for my family.” The next step for Denine involved chemo and radiation. She started two rounds of chemo on July 15, 2016. One was with two medications and the second with one. She had 22 radiation treatments from Aug. 19 to Sept. 16, 2016. Denine remained determined throughout her ordeal. She would undergo chemo on Thursdays, so that she could deal with any side effects over the weekends. She did not miss work during her battle with breast cancer. “I wanted normalcy in my life; I wanted to show my family that I’m

Despite the challenges of undergoing chemotherapy, Denine D’Angelo maintained a positive attitude as she battled – and beat – breast cancer.

OK – and my mother especially, who lost her other daughter and I was the only child left. I did it because I wanted to just keep it normal – not be like I was sick.” A dark-haired vibrant woman, Denine confronted the hair loss due to chemo like a trooper. She wore turbans and wigs. The first time she appeared in public without a wig was on Oct. 16, 2016. She has a dateline of her experience. Marie Hlavinka accompanied her daughter to every chemo treatment. The two have always been close, and Marie was committed to being there throughout the treatments. While Lori lived in Mechanics-

ville and underwent chemo, Marie also went with her to every treatment. On Oct. 21, 2016, Denine was given the news she so eagerly wanted to hear: She was cancer-free. Her family gathered the next day for a celebration brunch at The Jefferson in Richmond. Denine is fine sharing her story and has been an inspiration and support system for others. A good friend is now battling breast cancer. Helping others, she said, isn’t difficult “because I’ve come through it and I feel great. It was also good to hear other people tell me when I was going through cancer treatment. Anytime somebody told me they were a survivor I felt hope for me. It was so helpful to hear that.” When she was battling the cancer, Denine wasn’t public with the diagnosis as her youngest child, a son, was only 12 at the time. “It was so hard for me to tell him because his Aunt Lori had just passed away six months prior from cancer that he might lose his mother because he had already lost his father eight years before. I didn’t want to tell people because sometimes you tell people you have cancer and the first thing they think is ‘She’s so nice, she’s going to die.’ They automatically think you’re going to die. I didn’t want those words to ever be there that I was going to die. I didn’t want any thoughts like that to be out there. I wanted to be positive the whole time. It wasn’t an option to die.” Denine and husband Bill Coleman were newlyweds at the time. “He was patient; he stepped up, did all the household chores, took Johnny where he needed to go, he did everything.” In November, Denine became a grandmother and has another grandchild on the way. “I think that God puts me with people who need my help because I share my story with people that are going through this and that’s what I want to continue to do: be an inspiration. I wanted to be a grandmother; going through the chemo I was thinking ‘I want to be here I want to see my grandchildren.’ That was so important to me.”

SENTENCED Continued from pg. 5

so the officers stopped for what state police called a "consensual encounter." Duane was wearing a body camera that captured the 2.5-minute interaction that ended with Walter shot in the forehead. State police do not have body-worn cameras, so Walter was not wearing one. The video was not shown at the sentencing hearing, but Snukals had seen it more than a dozen times, said Herring, who allowed members of the media to view it after Thursday's proceedings. In the footage, Duane approached the driver’s side of the Cobalt, while Walter went to the passenger side, where Ball was seated. Duane had the driver step out of the car, searched him and asked him to move to the rear of the vehicle, when Walter made a gesture, which Herring indicated was a signal to Duane that he would need help with Ball. Duane handcuffed the driver saying they were trespassing because neither lived at Mosby Court. Ball had told the officer that he was visiting; his girlfriend lived just steps from where the car was parked. Walter can be heard instructing Ball to stop asking questions and to get out of the car as Duane moved around the back of the car toward Ball and Walter. As Ball stood up, Walter grabbed him and pushed him against the door frame, and Ball began to resist. The camera doesn't capture the next few critical seconds as its frame is

blocked by Walter's body and car, but the gunshot can be heard faintly, and Walter fell. Ball fled after the shooting and was arrested the next morning by U.S. marshals and state police at his sister's home in Northumberland County, about 70 miles northeast of Richmond. His phone was recovered, which showed text messages from the previous morning saying he was wanted in Lancaster County and would not go back to jail. “I’m going to end up killing something,” he texted the day of the shooting. In his account of the shooting, Ball told a probation officer that he thought Walter and Duane were going to arrest him even though he was just sitting there. "I only pulled the gun out to get them to back away so I could run away," he said in a pre-sentencing report. Snukals sentenced Ball to life in prison, which was suspended per the plea agreement, and then gave him 36 years of active prison time. "If Mr. Herring is correct in that you will always be dangerous, you will be back here and you will get life," she said after a few moments of deliberation. "If your attorneys are right, and you are rehabilitated, then that might give some hope to someone, maybe your own family." Ball also has three children: Arthur, 12; Travis Jr., 8; and Talia, 4, who was in the courtroom Thursday. Laura McFarland contributed to this story.

Festivals best when community engaged By Laura McFarland News Editor

here seems to be a bit of a magical theme in my columns, but it isn’t intentional. A few weeks ago, I talked about my experience attending a mock historical witch trial, and now I want to mention wizards. At the end of September, my friend Brie came to visit from North Carolina so we could head to Staunton for a bit of fun at Queen City Mischief and Magic for the first time. For those who are not aware of it, it is a fantastic free event for fans of the Harry Potter books and film series that is in no way affiliated with any of the people or corporations who actually make all of the money off of that franchise. I heard about the festival a few weeks earlier when my mother came for a visit and we took a long weekend in Staunton. As we explored the city, there were posters and the start of promotional materials visible all over the place. Every time I saw them, I kept thinking about how great it would be to attend. Eventually, I made up my mind and invited Brie, a former newspaper co-worker and fellow Harry Potter enthusiast. I take that back. I am an enthusiast, she is a diehard fan. Let’s just say if there was a Harry Potter trivia game with 20 people, she would have a good chance of winning even if the other 19 people got to be on one team. Either way, it was a fabulous weekend for us. We would love to someday visit one of the theme park attractions dedicated to Harry Potter, but, in the meantime, this was great. We saw and took pictures with people dressed as characters from the books – everyone from Dumbledore to Harry to the founders of Hogwarts. The funniest photo happened to be with a man dressed as Gilderoy Lockhart, an especially vain character, who promised it would be the best picture of me ever but I would look horrible. When Brie went to snap the photo, he proceeded to jump in front of me and struck a pose for the camera. It was priceless. The fan girl in me appreciated all of the aspects of this homegrown festival that embraced what people love about these books and movies – from the themed foods to the quidditch matches. But there also was part of me that just stood back and appreciated the local community’s involvement in this festival. I have been to so many festivals where all of the businesses basically shut down and everything took place in the streets, whether it was performances, products being sold or food and drinks. However, one of the aspects of this festival I took the most delight in was the challenge to collect an entire set of playing cards, with 59 participating businesses having a different card you could visit and find. To me, this was a fabulous way of making sure local businesses have a shot at making some money out of this event. Sure, there were plenty of places we visited where we made a beeline for the card and went right back out. But there also were several shops I probably would never have visited otherwise but found myself looking around with interest, sometimes even buying items. I sincerely hope those businesses did well in

the festival and want to continue supporting it for years to come. That was the last weekend in September. The very next weekend, I was back at a festival this time for work as I covered the 16th annual Festival of the Grape for the newspaper. Of all the ways you could spend a workday, covering a festival is generally not a bad assignment, and the same definitely goes for the wine festival. This year was a beautiful day taking photos and talking with a number of happy people. But having just experienced the Staunton festival a week earlier, I found myself hyperaware of Powhatan’s representation in the festival. The cool thing was, you don’t have to look too hard to see it. In addition to a winery, Powhatan had both its local brewery and new distillery with vendor booths. I counted at least four local restaurants selling food, as well as the American Legion with its Brunswick stew sale. I saw churches and businesses promoting themselves and giving away free stuff. But it was an interview I did with Angie Cabell, the executive director of the Powhatan Chamber of Commerce, that really drove it home. I could tell she was proud of the Powhatan representation among the vendors, but she also was quick to point out the huge number of volunteers who donate time, services, resources and more to put the festival on each year. Just when you thought she was done, she thought of another group to praise for its involvement. The list was truly impressive. When summing up how a festival went, we often talk about it in terms of economics – how many people attended and how much money was made. By extension, did the tourists coming from out of the county spend money, and did we make a good impression that is likely to bring them back for another visit in the future. Those are all great points. But it is another benefit that you might not see touted as much but that is just as important – community pride. A great number of people take pride in this festival and work hard side-by-side to make sure it is a good experience each year. Visitors may come for the wine, but hopefully they leave with a good taste in their mouths for Powhatan that lasts long after the last bottles have been poured.

In no specific order, teams are assigned a starting point and go through each of the four training evolutions between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year Powhatan started on the obstacle course which is increasingly difficult each year, but we were glad to have it out of the way first thing, and the guys who ran it did an amazing job,â&#x20AC;?

The third stage is rifle shooting, in which Powhatan performed well, being beaten out by only one other team, he said. The last evolution involves all pistol shooting and team work, which Powhatan also placed very well in. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Each of the four firearm specific events for rifle and pistol involve all team members to work together negotiating obstacles, running, and carrying heavy items as a team,â&#x20AC;?

Powhatan Youth Wrestling Club’s Brayden Dunning grapples with Jacob Charlesworth of Bandits Wrestling Club during the second annual Michael Walter Memorial Tournament at Powhatan High School on Oct. 13.

Mike Walter Memorial Tournament a success By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

he gym at Powhatan High School was alive with activity on Oct. 13 for a sport that isn’t quite in season just yet. Wrestlers and spectators gathered for the second annual Michael Walter Memorial Wrestling Tournament for both an event of remembrance and of spirited competition. The tournament was a pre-season af-

fair that gave the opportunity for wrestlers from kindergarten age all the way up to high school athletes the chance to get back on the wrestling mat. “I was very pleased with the event,” tournament director and Blackhawk Gym co-founder Richard FitzSimmons said. “It’s not an easy thing to do. But, with our Powhatan wrestling family, at Blackhawk and the high school, it makes it easy to pull off events like this. There’s so much willingness to help in the programs.”

From the bottom up, the wrestlers of Powhatan Youth Wrestling Club had solid performances during the tournament. Luke Wells of Powhatan Youth Wrestling Club won the Elementary 80 Division, going undefeated over his run through the bracket. Wells won his first round by an 8-2 decision and his second by a 5-2 decision. He pinned Alexis Parry of Smackdown Youth Wrestling in 57 seconds and won his final round by forfeit. Britton Proffitt won the Middle School

106 Division, also going undefeated through five rounds. He won by pin in the first round in 28 seconds, won by injury default in the second and then pinned his opponent in 21 seconds in the third round and in 2:37 in the fifth round. Sean Hall, a member of the Indians high school wrestling team as well as the youth wrestling club in Powhatan, was tops in the High School 113 Division, winning by an 8-1 decision over Evan see WRESTLE, pg. 2B

Missed chances plague Indians in loss to Flucos By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s Jacob Taylor (2), seen here against Louisa, rushed for 109 yards and the lone touchdown in the Indians’ 16-7 loss to Fluvanna.

Over the course of a football game, a few missed opportunities here or there could change the fate of one team or another. That was the case for the Powhatan Indians in their Saturday matinee game at Fluvanna on Oct. 13. A few missed chances for the Indians, in addition to the Flucos taking advantage of those miscues, turned into a 16-7 loss for the Indians. “They came out and played hard,” Indians coach Jim Woodson said. The game was delayed by a day due to Tropical Storm Michael, but the 24-hour delay didn’t stop Powhatan early on.

The Indians special teams recovered the opening kickoff when the Flucos return unit failed to field the kick. Just a few plays later, Jacob Taylor rushed it in from 4 yards out to give the Indians a 7-0 lead very early into the game. Taylor had 109 rushing yards in the game to go along with the touchdown. Fluvanna responded with a long drive that ended in the end zone for the Flucos and the two-point conversion was good for an 8-7 deficit for Powhatan. That score would stand for the entire second and third quarters. During that time, the Indians had two promising drives that put them in the red zone. see INDIANS, pg 4B

Special Olympics athletes at the Special Olympics Day at Fighting Creek Park on Oct. 13 were treated to flag football as one sporting option for the first time in the history of the event. Tournament director Doug Chaffins said this offering brought in several teams to the event.

Special Olympics Day a hit at Fighting Creek By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

he soccer fields at Fighting Creek Park were alive with activity on the crisp morning of Oct. 13. But, it wasn’t the usual tenants of the fields enjoying friendly competition. The Fury FC Soccer Club, formerly known as Powhatan Soccer Association, hosted and supported Special Olympics Day at Fighting Creek Park. “It’s beautiful weather,” tournament director Doug Chaffins said. “The (Powhatan recreation) department helped us out. The youth soccer association did a great job setting this all up.” The event brought together Special Olympics athletes from around the area and the state, including from areas such as Northern Virginia. Chaffin said that athletes from specific places such as New Kent, Stafford and Fredericksburg

were in attendance. “People heard about what we were doing,” he said. “The Stafford folks have had a good time. It’s a progression of how well we do things at Powhatan.” In prior iterations, the only offerings for the athletes were soccer and bocce. However, this season, there was enough interest in adding flag football to the offerings of sports to play on the day. “That brought in four or five more teams,” Chaffins said. The bocce courts also expanded to 10 courts running bocce at the park. Several of the courts featured multiple athletes playing bocce on the same court, while others had one-on-one matchups with good competition in those situations. The large choice of options in terms of sports, as well as volunteer opportunities that the community participated in, allowed for a successful

event with several options for the Special Olympics athletes to choose from. “It’s inspiring,” Chaffins said. “The way the community has come together to help out is the biggest thing. These folks could go to Chesterfield or Stafford to do these tournaments. But, they like to come here. We have great facilities and great cooperation.” There was a wealth of volunteers on hand from a few different organizations, such as the Powhatan Soccer Association as well as the Powhatan Rotary, to name a few. Throughout the event, volunteers assisted the athletes in the execution of the sports, whether it was scorekeeping on the bocce courts, refereeing the soccer events or cheering on the athletes from the sidelines. The two soccer fields produced some of the loudest cheers as the competition was fierce and fast-paced. The athletes playing were competing well against each other, with several athletes finding the back of the net for goals. One or two teams had a designated defensive player, which on several occasions was able to clear

It’s good to have the county involved.” Fighting Creek Park was the home to the Area 6 Special Olympics softball tournament in May, which featured the ath-

letes participating in softball on three different fields at the complex. According to the Area 6 Special Olympics calendar, the event at Fighting Creek Park on Oct. 13 was the last major event for the organization in Powhatan for 2018. The next big event for Special Olympics in Powhatan will be on Jan. 12, 2019 for the Area 6

basketball tournament, which will take place at Powhatan High School.

Zachary Bodsford was third in the Middle School 125 Division. Cade Van Buskirk finished third in the High School 126-132 Division, after he was pinned in the second place match in 1:56. Austin Walter of Powhatan Youth Wrestling finished third in the High School Heavyweight Division. In the Middle School 90 Division, Talon Harness of Powhatan Youth Wrestling was fifth.

The tournament brought in wrestlers from all over the state, from as far away as North Carolina and West Virginia. “It was good competition,” FitzSimmons said. “We had kids from Northern Virginia, the beach, North Carolina, a couple from West Virginia. We had some from Blacksburg. It was a good preseason tournament.” In addition to being good competition, the tournament was in honor and memory of Mike Walter. FitzSimmons said that the tournament was very much the type of event that Walter always championed in the wrestling community.

“It’s a way for those kids to feel like he’s still with them,” he said. “He’s there with them. They know that. They go out there every time and they wrestle for him. He made a lot of friends in the wrestling community, and it was great to see them come out and support the program because of what Mike did for them in the past.” FitzSimmons said that the tournament will continue every year. “We’re going to keep his memory alive,” FitzSimmons said.

owhatan’s cross country team participated in the prestigious Milestat.com Invitational at Pole Green Park on Oct. 13 and the Indians performed well in one of the largest meets on the East Coast. Cooper Schardt was the lone Indians runner to

qualify for the Varsity A race, which required a sub-17 minute time to make that race. Schardt finished 80th out of 289 runners with a 16:55. In the Varsity B boys race, Gavin Timmons led the Indians with a time of 16:36, good for fifth place. Timmons was just over a second behind fourth place and only 20 seconds before first-place

finisher Daylan May of Parry McCluer. Will Paxton was 44th for the Indians with a time of 17:32, Colton Vosburg was 67th with a 17:47 and John Cavedo was 83rd with an 18:02.

contingent with a 20:08. As a team, the Indians finished 13th out of 30 teams with 331 points, just three behind York and four behind Auburn. On the girls side, Ashley Trevillian led the way for the Indians with a 31st-place finish with a time of 23:20 in the Varsity C girls race. Her teammate Michelle Eggleston wasn’t too far behind with a 37th-place finish in 23:32.

Olivia Cosgrove was 90th with a 26:39 and Gina Girgente was 103rd with a 30:03. The Indians finished 10th out of 13 teams with

Aleah Burnett was 44th with a 20:36 and Maddy Dunaway rounded out the scoring finishes for Powhatan with a 21:55.

INDIANS

coming into the matchup with the Indians and the 16 points scored is a season-low for the Flucos. Fluvanna runs the Wing-T offense and Woodson said that the Indians prepared well for that style of offense. “They’ve been scoring a lot of points and getting a lot of yards,” he said. “I thought we did a really, really good job. We had two different schemes we were running and mixed things up. We did a nice job. We just didn’t make the plays when we needed to make the plays.” One instance Woodson mentioned was the defense had a chance for a takeaway with an interception, but it fell to the ground instead of being intercepted. That missed chance allowed the Flucos drive to continue for the eventual second touchdown. “We could have stopped the drive,” he said. “The last time it happened, they went on to score. Being only down by one point with nine minutes to go, it’s a big difference.” In addition to the missed turnover chances

and the missed field goals, the Indians had some key drops on offense as well. “We had some balls we just dropped,” Woodson said. “Jacob made some nice throws. We had three dropped balls that would have sustained drives and gotten the first down. Those were drive stoppers.” Like Louisa before them, Fluvanna loaded the box to stop Taylor and the Indians running game and “dared” the Indians to throw the ball. “They had one-on-one situations,” Woodson said. “Speed-wise, we didn’t have the speed to get open when we need to. That’s going to be the pattern it’s going to be. That’s what I’d be doing against us, force the issue and force us to the next stage and next move.” Powhatan fell to 3-3 after the loss to Fluvanna. Woodson said that the team will be making “a few changes” in preparation for the Indians homecoming game on Oct. 19 against Monticello.

But, on both occasions, the ensuing field goal attempt was off the mark and the Indians came up with nothing on two key possessions. If either field goal had been good, it would have given Powhatan the lead. “We had the opportunity to make a field goal and we just didn’t do it,” Woodson said. “It was close, it was a 25 or 30yard kick. That was a missed opportunity there.” In the fourth quarter, Fluvanna scored with about nine minutes left in the game and converted a pivotal two-point conversion that made the lead nine points, which made it a two-possession lead. “That was a big, big play,” Woodson said. The Indians offense was once again hardpressed to get any forward momentum going while down in the fourth quarter and was unable to close the gap.
