A solemn ceremony on Tuesday, Sept. 11, conjured memories of one of our nations most horrifi c days and also roused

patriotic emotions in Chesterfi eld County.The Woodmen of the World, Chester-

fi eld/Richmond Lodge 159, in coopera-tion with the Chesterfi eld County Police Department, Chesterfi eld County Fire and EMS, Chesterfi eld County Board of

Supervisors, Chesterfi eld County Parks and Recreation and Ruritan Clubs Zone 4, hosted a special ceremony at the Harry G. Daniel Park.

Clarence Singleton, a retired fi rst lieutenant with the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), who now makes his home in Chesterfi eld County, delivered the keynote address.

Before becoming a fi refi ghter, he served in the U.S. Marine Corps and received a Purple Heart after being injured in the

Vietnam Confl ict.He became a member of the FDNY in

1975 while attending New York City Com-munity College.

I am honored to be part of this spe-cial ceremony to honor the heroes and memory of my fellow fi refi ghters, fi rst responders and fellow Americans, those who tragically lost their lives in the 2001 terrorists attack an event that I

Math teacher gets prime award

BY BEN ORCUTTSpecial Correspondent

Students at Meadowbrook High School thought they were at-tending a math pep rally last week, but learned the reason for

the event was to announce that math teacher Paul Daszkiewicz had been se-lected as Region 1 Teacher of the Year.

In addition to Chesterfi eld County, Region 1 is comprised of the school districts in Charles City County, Din-

widdie County, Goochland County, Hanover County, Henrico County, New Kent County, Powhatan County, Prince George County, Surry County, Sussex County and the cities of Colo-nial Heights, Hopewell, Petersburg and Richmond.

As part of the Thursday, Sept. 13, ceremony Daszkiewicz received con-gratulatory letters from Gov. Robert F. McDonnell and Patricia I. Wright, superintendent of public instruction

for Virginia, as well as a certifi cate of congratulations from Wright.

Daszkiewicz, 53, had already been named Chesterfi eld County Teacher of the Year and now joins seven other regional winners who are in the running for Virginia Teacher of the Year.

Known affectionately as Mr. D, Daszkiewicz said he was surprised to learn during last Thursdays pep rally that he had been selected as Region 1 Teacher of the Year.

Daszkiewicz said this was wonderful because it was all the county people and all of my students and it was just a very special time arranged by the administra-tion and I just am very grateful for that,

but, yes, I was completely surprised.A New Jersey native, Daszkiewicz

earned an undergraduate degree in engineering from Virginia Tech and a masters degree in math education from VCU.

Meadowbrook is the only school where hes taught and he began teaching math there 22 years ago. His course load includes precalculus, probability/statis-tics and Algebra II.

Daszkiewicz and his wife Mimi have two daughters, one a senior at Virginia Tech and the other a sophomore at Wil-liam & Mary.

Personal safety will be the focus of the 4th annual Fall Family Safety Day event that will take place on Saturday, Sept. 22, at Chesterfi eld Towne Center

in Chesterfi eld County. Several activities will be offered during the

family-oriented event. Kelly Wilkes, the marketing manager for

Chesterfi eld Towne Center, said the experience will impart important information about a variety of safety concerns.

It is so much about education and awareness of your personal safety, home safety, and it takes on a huge family element, Wilkes said. Its very much an educa-tional event, and it includes lots of things that residents of Chesterfi eld County need to think about, and they can take some literature home.

2012 marks the fi rst year that the mall will team up with Richmond Alarm, a local com-pany that handles commercial and home safety matters, to bring the event to the public.

According to Wilkes, Richmond Alarm will bring its interactive displays to Fall Family Safety Day.

This is the fi rst year that Richmond Alarm is presenting this event, and were so excited

miraculously survived and that changed my life forever, Singleton said.

The Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack was not Singletons fi rst experience with the World Trade Center and terrorists.

It was a dark day in the history of New York and the United States when in 1993 the World Trade Center was attacked. Singleton said he responded with his fi re unit and was credited with saving the life of a pregnant worker.

In 1994, he was promoted to fi re lieutenant and supervised a fi rehouse in Brooklyn. In August 2000, he retired after 22 years of dedicated service and receiving multiple awards during his career.

He was once again drawn to serve those in trouble and in dangerous circumstances.

In 2001, the Twin Towers were at-tacked and Singleton -- though now retired headed to the disaster scene and volunteered to help.

I was standing at the bottom of the North Tower, he said, when a loud boom sounded. Then there were loud booms and the tower was com-ing down. The building was pancaking. Debris was falling everywhere shoes, purses, items of all kinds, there were even bodies.

Everyone began to run for their lives as now the dust cloud began roll-ing forth. I had dislocated my shoulder

fi ghting the fi re at the North Tower and had other injuries, but I still moved as fast as I could. The dust was choking and thick.

I was trying to fi nd my way out and it was confusing because you couldnt see and everything was covered in dust.

Finally, I saw a wall and walked up to it, but, with my injuries, it was too tall for me to climb. My arm was use-less. I walked a little ways and there was a shorter part. I went over the wall and then saw a man standing in a doorway. It was totally clean. He looked at me and said, So you made it!

Singleton then said he saw several EMS personnel, covered in dust, who were searching for injured people. He called out to them and they assisted him in getting to an ambulance.

It was only later in discussing the event with a friend that he learned a chilling fact. I told my friend about the incident, but my friend said, I have worked there for 15 years, there is no wall there.

I am convinced, he said, that I saw a vision and that I was miraculously saved.

Born in Sumter, S.C., Singleton graduated from Lincoln High School in 1967. During his school years he worked several after school jobs to help support his family.

While in high school, he enlisted in the Marines and headed to Parris Island for recruit training after graduation.

He was selected as the Outstand-ing Member of his platoon and meritoriously promoted. Selection as Outstanding Members is an honor bestowed upon the recruit who most nearly attains the characteristics of an ideal Marine during recruit training. Traits of character, initiative, leadership, personal appearance and general ability are considered.

Singleton served in Vietnam with the 2nd Battalion 9th Marines. He said he received multiple wounds during a 122-rocket attack on his unit, awarding him the Purple Heart.

After nine months in the hospital, he relocated to New York. His fi refi ghting career was then just on the horizon.

Singleton was featured in One Na-tion: America Remembers September 11, 2001 by the authors of Life Maga-zine.

Matoaca District supervisor Steven A. Elswick gave the Invocation. Also participating in last weeks ceremony were Boy Scouts of America Troops 2837 and 2878 who displayed the 9/11 Flag of Honor and Flag of Heroes.

The Chesterfi eld Police and Fire Department Honor Guard conducted the fl ag ceremony.

Special music was provided by members of Chester United Methodist Church.

The program concluded with Vir-ginia Bugles Across America and other musicians playing Taps.

It stands on a small rise of land in Dale Memo-rial park. In a breeze nearby, chimes echo a

faint tinkling as they sway. A decade ago hundreds stood as it was dedicated. Each side is symbolic of the dedication and heroics of fi re, EMS and law enforce-ment. The top has a small plaque that remembers the fallen on that tragic day of Sept. 11, 2001.

In the cemetery stands a monument, a token of re-spect and remembrance of the fallen, not just on Sept. 11 but those who fall in the line of duty every day.

It was a bright and sunny day on Sept. 7, 2002, and hundreds had gathered at Dale Memorial Cemetery, including government offi cials, fi rst responders and law enforcement. Soon the monument would be unveiled and honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifi ce.

The token was the idea of Louis Johnston of Dale Memorial Park. Humbly, Johnston was quick to say that everyone supported him. He said he just had to do something.

The monument is fash-ioned from granite and was made by Matthews Manu-facturing in Pittsburgh. It cost a little over $10,000.

Each side has a plaque with engravings. The front has a memorial writing. The top has a plaque with engravings of Shanksville, Pa., the World Trade Center Twin Towers and the Pen-tagon centered in the midst of eagles.

Former Lt. Gov. John Hagar was the keynote

speaker. The program also included prayers and Pe-tersburg fi refi ghter Marlow Jones, who performed Un-derstand Im a Firefi ghter, a song he had written and recorded.

On that day in 2002, Kelly Miller, now deceased, was chairman of the Ches-terfi eld County Board of Supervisors and joined with Rich Miller of Richmond Memorial Parks in placing the wreath.

A benediction was of-fered by the Rev. Ricky R. Hurst.

God Bless America was sung by Sharon L. Duncan and the colors were then retired.

Ten years later, visitors are welcome to pay their respects at the monument.

to be working with them, Wilkes said. Their whole world is about safety, so they really wanted to embrace this event.

Theyll be doing interac-tive displays, and theyre huge into commercial secu-rity and alarms and personal security at residences, so were really excited to have them as a partner this year, Wilkes added.

Col. Thierry G. Dupuis, chief of police for Chester-fi eld County, and Edward L. Senter, fi re chief for Ches-terfi eld County, also are scheduled to appear during the proceedings.

Since children will be a major focus during the event, there will be several stations set up to address issues that affect youngsters. At the same time, kids will be able to meet personnel from Chesterfi eld County Fire Department and Chesterfi eld County Police Department and see a few of their vehicles up-close.

Fire trucks and police cruisers will be stationed between Red Robin and Coldwater Creek. Wilkes said a section of the parking lot near those stores will be blocked off to accommodate those vehicles.

Other educational exhibi-tions will focus on such diverse topics as cardio pulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, and how to be safe while digging holes on your personal property.

Were going to have some CPR demonstrations, and every resident needs to know how to handle that situation, Wilkes said. And, youre supposed to call before you dig, but there will be safety tips about doing that as well.

One of the most impor-tant aspects of the day will be the medication takeback, which is one in a series of events that Chesterfi eld County Police Department has sponsored this year.

Participants can bring in expired over-the-counter

medications and prescrip-tions. Police offi cers will col-lect them and then transport them to a secure evidence location where they will be destroyed.

Wilkes said she hopes that event-goers can help Chesterfi eld Towne Center to accumulate 1,000 pounds of prescription medications, which would top the areas standing collection record that was previously set at Bon Secours St. Francis Wat-kins Centre back in July.

We did it last year, and we collected over 600 pounds of medication, so that was the record, but now we want to go for 1,000 pounds, Wilkes said. The general public does not understand that there is a proper way and that it is dangerous to throw them in the trash or pour them down the sink.

By the time that Fam-ily Fall Safety Day ends, participants should be more enlightened about the work that local fi re and law en-forcement personnel do and be armed with facts that can

help them to avoid house-hold accidents.

Wilkes said that Chester-fi eld Towne Center is proud to be able to bring that kind of knowledge to local citizens.

You know, I just think its good to reiterate how important things like fi re safety, crime prevention and organizing your own neighborhood watch really are, Wilkes said. We want to bring about community awareness at least once a year, so for us, its really about educating people and addressing these issues, so they can refl ect on them and be safer as they go around in their own communities.

The Fall Family Safety Day will be presented from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Satur-day, Sept. 22, at Chesterfi eld Towne Center at 11500 Midlothian Turnpike in Chesterfi eld.

Admission is free. For more information,

Cable news a jumbleof noise, partisanshipBY JIM RIDOLPHISpecial Correspondent

Ive come to the conclusion that many will think is more than obvious.

Cable television fi rst appeared in the early 70s, and something called a 24-hour

news cycle was created. At fi rst glance, what wasnt to love? Constant coverage of important world events and national headlines seemed like the best idea in the world.

And, like, every good creation, imitation be-came the highest form of fl attery as one operation after another opened 24-hour news channels.

Every one from top executives to the youngest students in the classroom could switch channels and get up-to-date reports on breaking news stories, or enjoy interesting features.

Im not sure where it all went wrong, but major cable news outlets have become little more than a repetitive drone of overused and tired news stories. Most of the air is dominated by opinion and commentary coming from both sides of the political spectrum.

And, theres a news channel for everyone in this world of 24-hour reporting. No matter what your political view, theres a version of truth for all viewers. Problem is, thats a far cry from the

journalism I was taught many years ago.With a bundle of 24-hour news choices, its

still sometimes hard to get the story without the slant. All of them seem to think interviewing their own employees somehow serves as newsworthy items, and in-the-fi eld reporting stories are rarely featured.

I suppose it might somehow boil down to what is the actual truth, or, more importantly, whats the real story. In a simpler day, the bound-aries were more well defi ned, and the truth was something provided in the form of facts. Jour-nalism relied on the tried and true belief that a reporters job is to uncover and outline the facts. Its the readers job to decipher those facts and form an opinion.

I suppose my sudden revelation about 24-hour news could be a result of an overload of political rhetoric during this election season. Like many people, Im at the point of tuning all of it out.

So, Im getting off the 24-hour news cycle for now. Well, I might peek in on C-SPAN once in a while. Thats not cheating, is it?

What, pray tell, will I do to replace the constant chatter of MSNBC, Fox and CNN?

Ill return to a form of communication that has never failed to fulfi ll my version of the truth.

BY BEN ORCUTTSpecial Correspondent

If youve ever thought about taking square dance lessons, tonight (Thursday, Sept. 20) is a good time to start.

The Circle Eight Square Dance Club, which has been in existence for more than 40 years, is offer-ing square dance lessons from 7 to 9 p.m. at Thompson Middle School at 7825 Forest Hill Ave. in Richmond.

The fi rst two weeks of lessons are free and the cost thereafter is $4 per person.

Bill and Pat Wilson have been dancing with the club for sev-eral years since they moved from Charlottesville to Midlothian.

Wilson said the club has about 50 members. His wife said that members range in age from their 40s to 80s.

But we want to encourage couples, Mrs. Wilson said. We have found that having singles doesnt really work that well or you need a partner. Come and bring a partner.

Circle Eight also has work-shops on Thursdays at Thompson Middle School that take place along with the classes where casual attire is worn.

Formal dances are held about twice a month on Saturdays at Elizabeth Holladay Elementary School on Richmonds Northside that attract dancers from as far away as Charlottesville, Pat Wilson said.

Its fun, she said of square dancing. Its something different to do and you get your mind off of everything.

And its a social thing, her husband added. We visit a lot during the dances.

Square dancing has evolved over the years and women dont have to wear big skirts to formal dances, Pat Wilson said, adding that she prefers to wear a long skirt.

Because that scares people off I think some too, she said.

Jim Durham, 78, drives from Charles City to call the Thursday night workshops for Circle Eight. Hes in his 25th year of calling for the club.

A native of Reidsville, N.C., Durham said he and his wife Nan started square dancing 46 years

ago. When hes calling, Durham said he maintains proper square dancing protocol.

No drinking. No rough stuff, he said. I dont put up with it.

Durham said he is proud of the fact that he was present in 1991 when Gov. L. Douglas Wilder signed a law declaring square dancing as the offi cial folk dance of Virginia.

Bill Grant, 72, and his wife, June, 69, of Chesterfi eld said they have been members of Circle Eight for more than 20 years and square dancing is something they enjoy.

The camaraderie and the fel-lowship and the dancing, Grant said. We enjoy the dancing. Its a good bunch of people and weve become good friends with all of them.

It keeps you fl exible, his wife added. You gotta move and, so, for young or old, its a good exercise.

June Grant said she thinks one of the reasons that square dancing is not more appealing to young people is that they have a miscon-ception that its all about country music, but she added that Jim does a really good job of pulling in some current tunes.

Everett Chesley, 68, and his wife Nell, 67, of Short Pump have been dancing with Circle Eight about two years after she learned about the group in the magazine Fifty Plus.

Well, we got into this because it started out for exercise and we also found it used your mind a lot

to learn a lot of calls and then the group is just a lot of fun, Chesley said. Its a really nice group of people and we enjoy being with them and we dance. We have socials and have out-of-town weekends and its just a lot of fun.

Learning how to properly re-spond to square dance calls can be challenging, Nell Chesley said.

I will say the people are very forgiving when you forget, because you will forget, she said.

When describing his role, Durham makes it sound like hes somewhat akin to an air traffi c controller.

The callers job is my job is is wherever they start their home position. In other words, if theyre at the sides or at the edge, my job is to do a whole lot of cho-reography and get them back with their original partner where they began to dance, Durham said.

Allemande Left, a Right and a Left Grand, thatll get you around there right back, Durham said of one of the most used calls in square dancing.

The Circle Eight Square Dance Club includes members from all walks of life and professions, Pat Wilson said.

Square dancing is a very affordable entertainment, she said. And anyones welcome too and its friendly. Youll be most welcome here.

For more information about the Circle Eight Square Dance Club, call the Wilsons at 423-7686 or send an e-mail to Cir-cle8SquareDance@gmail.com.

Daszkiewicz responded humbly when asked how it felt to be named the top teacher in Region 1.

Oh, I dont know about top, he said. There are so many teachers who could be in my place right here a lot of them at Meadowbrook High School, a lot of them in the math department. But Im glad to be recognized and I hope to be a good representative of Chesterfi eld County.

Part of his passion for teaching math comes from his positive outlook on the subject, Daszkiewicz said.

Oh, I just think that any child can learn math and sometimes I say my goal at the beginning of the year is if a student hates math just a little bit less at the end of the year than they did at the beginning, then Ive done something good, he said.

Mimi Daszkiewicz at-tended last weeks ceremony and talked about what her husbands selection as Region 1 Teacher of the Year means to her.

It is the accumulation of an incredible career that hes

had so far and the passion hes always had for teaching children and he could have taught anything, but he chose math because he knew that this is one of the subjects thats probably the most dif-fi cult for many people and he just felt that he could make the most difference teaching math, she said.

After the ceremony, Jessica Mucciacciaro, an 18-year-old senior at Meadowbrook, said Daszkiewicz made a differ-ence in her life when he was her math teacher when she was a freshman.

I used to stay after school with him every day because thats how I passed my SOL (Standards of Learning), she said.

Mucciacciaro said Dasz-kiewicz deserved this award.

He knows how to explain things, she added. He is the best teacher ever.

Thomas Ferrell, who is in his fi fth year as principal at Meadowbrook, said it was an honor for one of the schools teachers to be named Region-al Teacher of the Year.

Im still very ecstatic, Ferrell said. I mean, this is quite an honor. It speaks

volumes to his work not just to Meadowbrook High School but to our com-munity at large and to the service that he gives to our students.

Marcus J. Newsome, superintendent of Chester-fi eld County Public Schools and a former math teacher, attended the ceremony and said afterwards that the honor bestowed upon Dasz-kiewicz is signifi cant.

We know we have great teachers here in Chesterfi eld County Public Schools and its nice that those outside of the school district validate what we already know, Newsome said. Mr. D is an outstanding math teacher. He represents so many wonder-ful math teachers and we hope that this will motivate more of our students to pur-sue careers in mathematics.

Daszkiewicz said he doesnt plan toleave Mead-owbrook, the home of the Monarchs.

I hope not to, he said. If theyll have me, Im going to be here till I stop teach-ing, which is hopefully a long time in that too. I am proud to be a Monarch.

BY KOREY HUGHESSpecial Correspondent

National Orienteering Day will be observed on Sunday, Sept. 23. If youre not familiar with the term, orienteering is when out-

door enthusiasts use compasses and maps to fi nd locations in a specifi c geographical area.

On that day, the Central Virginia Orien-teering Club will respect the occasion with a gathering at Pocahontas State Park in Chesterfi eld.

Central Virginia Orienteering Club was founded in September 2011, and its purpose is to bring attention to the aforementioned pastime. The group is a member of Orien-teering USA, and the national organization asked its satellite groups to host orienteering events in their local areas on Sunday.

Mark Walmsley is one of the events organizers, and he said the Central Virginia Orienteering Club hosts events throughout the region at least once a month.

Were looking to put on more events to make the sport more available to people in (and around) Richmond, Walmsley said.

On Sunday, participants will read topo-graphical maps to fi nd fl ags that members of the club have placed on Pocahontas State Parks grounds.

But, as Walmsley said, the event isnt necessarily targeted at advanced map read-ers. In fact, he hopes that the meet-up will attract beginners who have never tried orienteering before and bring new members to the organization.

Its a day where they want all the mem-ber clubs to put on an event and publicize (orienteering) a bit to bring in beginners who want to join, Walmsley said. On that one day a year, the national federation wants to make sure that events are made available to the public.

The proceedings will work different for novices than it will for experienced map

readers. That is, amateurs will receive help from club members if they need it, and they can take as much time as they need to fi nd the fl ags.

Well time each person individually, Walmsley said. Its not a mass-start race, so youll be running around by yourself, and you can start at any time within that two-hour range.

On that day, youll be able to pick a course thats as long as youre comfortable with. And, Ill be there along with other members of the group, and well be able to give instruction to people who need help to read the maps and compasses.

If you dont own a compass, Walmsley said his group will have plenty of them available for participants to borrow. How-ever, maps may be in short supply, which is why he suggests that interested parties register in advance.

You can indicate that youre coming on that date, but if people decide later on that they just want to come on the day of the event its not required, Walmsley said. It would be very helpful, though.

Participants are welcome to bring their mountain bikes along, too, but they will need to know how to navigate maps as well as the terrain.

According to Walmsley, Pocahontas State Park is a great location for his club to cel-ebrate National Orienteering Day because it is a perfect place to perform the activity.

Its a very beautiful forest, and it has a big enough area without roads, Walmsley said. Its also got a lot of good details for orienteering, like hills and streams.

The Central Virginia Orienteering Club will meet from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23, at Pocahontas State Park at 10301 State Park Road in Chesterfi eld County.

The event is free.For more information about the orga-

CONTRIBUTED REPORT

The Chesterfi eld Historical Soci-ety of Virginia (CHSV) is offering

the exhibit, Chesterfi eld County Railroads: From Mule Power to Steam Power, through the end of December at the County Museum on the historic 1917 Courthouse Green at 6813 Mimms Loop in Ches-terfi eld.

The exhibit highlights the importance of 19th century Chesterfi eld County railroads from the fi rst railroad in Virginia, a mule-powered

gravity track called the Ches-terfi eld Railroad (opened in 1831), to the steam train network that handled freight and passenger traffi c, turn-ing the region into a trans-portation hub.

In addition to a display of historic railroad artifacts such as original train tickets and heavy-duty metal spikes used to nail iron tracks to wooden sleepers, the exhibit includes an original train schedule for the Bright Hope railroad, also known as the Tidewater & Western, which ran from Farmville to Ber-muda Hundred until 1917

when the rails were torn up and shipped to Europe to aid with the Allies effort in World War I.

The new exhibit also displays a rare collection of historic photographs, in-cluding early 1900s train sta-tions in Midlothian, Bon Air and Hallsboro, as well as the Chester railroad workshops where three of Chesterfi eld Countys railroads crossed.

The County Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday.

A $2 donation is sug-gested.

Chesterfest fi res up Chester Village GreenBY KOREY HUGHESSpecial Correspondent

Chester residents will assemble for a day of revelry during the 11th

annual Chesterfest that will get underway on Saturday, Sept. 22.

Presented by the Chester Community Association and sponsored by the Village News and the Chesterfi eld County Parks and Recre-ation, the event will feature fun competitions, music and merriment that the entire family can enjoy.

Elliot Fausz, one of the events organizers, said, Chesterfest is an an-nual event that celebrates the Chester community and promotes local business in the village.

Its all about the com-munity. Every dollar raised goes back into the commu-nity through other projects that the Chester Community Association leads throughout the year.

The festivities will occur on the Village Green, which Fausz described as the center of town that houses a huge open space. With that said, plenty of activities will take place throughout the day on different sections of the spaces large lawn.

Musical performances will carry on continuously on two stages, and the invited bands styles include such diverse genres as blues, bluegrass, jazz fusion and Southern rock.

Acts such as Chester Com-

munity Band, Koinonia Jazz Experience, Southland Band and Spoonful Blue Band will play the main stage. The Cary Street Ramblers, Chester Childrens Theater, Darryl El-lyson, Gill The Jazz Singer and Zach Artis will perform on the second stage.

Also, a dog show will begin at 10 a.m. Winners will receive awards in various categories, including best dressed, best trick, cutest and best in show, but Fausz said that contestants and their owners should come at least 15 minutes early to sign up.

A group tug-of-war com-petition also is scheduled.

For children, the biggest draw will be the KidsZone, which is sponsored by the Goddard School. Fun com-petitions and educational games are just some of the activities that will be avail-

able. The Goddard School and

Space Walk of Chester do a fantastic job of keeping the little ones busy, Fausz said. Goddard School uses the KidsZone to educate kids on healthy eating habits through arts and crafts projects, and Space Walk of Chester brings several infl atables like slides, moon bounces and obstacle courses, which keeps the kids moving non-stop.

The World Champion Pie-Eating Contest might be the most memorable aspect of Saturdays experience. The competition will get underway at 4:30 p.m., but participation is limited to 16 spaces.

Chesterfest bills its pie-eating event as the only con-sistent challenge of its type in the Central Virginia region, and Fausz said there are a few

guidelines when it comes to fi nishing the pies.

Rule number one, have fun, Fausz said. But, the only specifi c rules are no hands and the pie must be completely fi nished to win, including the crust and the scraps spilled on the table.

So, spectators should

prepare themselves for an unforgettable sight while watching the competition. Fausz said the pie-eating contest is always his favorite event of the day and that watching it is hilarious for the audience.

The crowd goes wild, Fausz said. Its funny, and -- even after we have a winner

-- most of the other contes-tants continue to enjoy their pies.

Chesterfest will be pre-sented from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Village Green in Chester.

BY BEN ORCUTTSpecial Correspondent

The Manchester Lanc-ers dominated on both sides of the ball on Friday and blanked the visiting

Monacan Chiefs 40-0 in the fi rst Dominion District contest of the season for both teams.

With the win, the Lancers are 2-1 overall and 1-0 in league play, while the Chiefs fell to 0-3 overall and 0-1 in district play.

Manchester opened the season with a 47-41 loss to Meadowbrook, but bounced back with a 45-30 win over Matoaca, followed by the blowout against Monacan. The Lancers have scored a total of 126 points and are averaging 42 points per game.

Against the Chiefs, the Lancers scored on their fi rst two posses-sions. Senior quarterback Brandon Allen hit senior slot receiver Myles Brathwaite with a 16-yard scor-ing pass with 7:57 left in the fi rst quarter. The two-point conversion attempt was no good and Manches-ter was up 6-0.

The Lancers increased the lead on their next possession on a 2-yard scoring run by sophomore running back Troy Corey. Manchester failed to convert the two-point try and with 4:50 left in the fi rst quarter, they were ahead 12-0.

Manchester came close to scor-ing on three consecutive fi rst-quar-ter possessions, but fell shot when

Allens pass from the Monacan 16 was intercepted by junior defensive back Gerald Collins in the end zone for a touchback.

The Lancers scored on their fi rst possession of the second quarter on a 28-yard run by Corey, who also ran in for the two-point conversion to put Manchester up 20-0 with 6:15 left in the second stanza.

The Lancers defense held Mona-can to a three and out and appeared to partially block the Chiefs punt to take over on the Monacan 34.

Allen hit Brathwaite with a 34-yard touchdown pass on the Lancers fi rst play from scrimmage and with Colin McFaddens PAT, Manchester would end the fi rst half

with a commanding 27-0 lead. Allen injured a shoulder and

was replaced at QB in the second half by senior Ty Moss. One bright spot for Monacan was when the Chiefs defense stopped Moss for no gain on fourth and goal from the Monacan 2.

Neither team scored in the third quarter, but the Lancers struck again in the fourth period on a 1-yard run by Corey, followed by McFaddens PAT to go up 34-0 with 10:09 left in the game.

Manchesters defense held the Lancers to three and out on the ensuing series and took over on their own 41. Two plays later, 5-6, 197-pound junior running back

Laki Simon would not be denied and bulled his way through would-be tacklers for a 58-yard TD run for the games fi nal score. McFaddens extra-point attempt was no good, but with less than 8 minutes to play, the game was out of reach for the Chiefs and they fell to the Lancers, 40-0.

Following the game, Monacan head coach Danny Parsons said he could fi nd few bright spots in the contest for the Chiefs.

The second half I thought we came out with a little more fi re and played a little bit better I think, Parsons said. Its hard to fi nd bright spots out of something like that. We just ran into a really good football team. They got a lot of tal-ent, well coached.

Connor Wingo-Reeves, a 6-2, 222-pound senior linebacker and tight end for Monacan, said the Chiefs have some work to do

I mean I just think we need to come together as a team really and just get our practice going and come together, especially as an offense, he said. We just need to start moving the ball and being more intense and just getting bet-ter blocks and just everything like that.

Up next for the Chiefs is a 7 p.m. home game tomorrow night against district foe Clover Hill.

Manchester head coach Tom Hall said the Lancers didnt play four quarters of football in their

fi rst two games, but came closer against the Chiefs.

I thought our defensive effort was outstanding, Hall said. I mean any time you shut out a team, especially a team as scrappy as Monacan, youve done something. I thought our offensive line played very well, controlled the tempo, really did a nice job protecting our quarterbacks. I think it was a great team effort tonight.

With their blue jerseys and white pants and white helmets with orange trim, the Lancers uniforms look a lot like the ones worn by the Auburn Tigers. Hall said thats no accident.

Weve had blue helmets at Man-chester for 30-something years and we got the same colors and I like the colors and what Auburn looks like, so just bringing a little differ-ent tradition here, Hall said.

Hall said Allen will be out for a couple of games due to his shoul-der injury, but added that Moss was excellent in his back-up role.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2012 || 9MIDLOTHIANEXCHANGE.COM SPORTS || FITNESSEXERCISE201-pound senior defensive end, played a key role in the Lancers defense limiting the Chiefs to only four fi rst downs and forcing eight three and outs.

Up next for Manchester is a 7:30 p.m. Dominion Dis-trict showdown tomorrow night against the homestand-ing L.C. Bird Skyhawks, who are 2-0 overall and 1-0 in league play.

Thompson said he had fun playing against the Chiefs and the Lancers need to have fun against the Skyhawks.

You cant play football

without fun, Thompson said.

Brathwaite, 5-9 and 143 pounds, had a good night receiving catching six passes for 117 yards, unoffi cially, and two TDs.

Defense did their thing because thats the fi rst shutout we had in a while and offense defi nitely put up big points, Brathwaite said. Second team came in, did their thing too, so it was [an] all-around good game.

Brathwaite said Moss was a little anxious about taking over the reins at quarterback in the second half.

He was kind of nervous in the locker room, but I got all his receivers back to let him know that we always have his back, theres nothing to worry about, so just go out there and do his thing and he did it, he did, Brathwaite said. So it was a good game.

Brathwaite said the convincing win against the Chiefs was what the Lanc-ers needed heading into the contest against L.C. Bird.

Yes sir. Yes sir, Brathwaite said. Hope to come out with the same result. Hope to come out with the same result.
