Prosecutor and judge
accept insanity plea
By Nancy Lindsey
In a hearing in Patrick
County Circuit Court on
March 22, Judge Martin Clark accepted Travis Dylan Hazelwood’s
plea of “not guilty by
reason of insanity” in
the first-degree murder
of Larry Gilliam on Dec.
31, 2014.
Hazelwood and Gilliam were among a
group of men hunting
rabbits when the shooting occurred near 70
Boaz Pond Lane in the
Patrick Springs area,
Sheriff Dan Smith reported at the time of the
incident.
Hazelwood admitted
to deputies that he shot
Gilliam in the back and
“meant to kill him,” according to a summary
of the commonwealth’s
evidence read in court
by Patrick County Commonwealth’s Attorney
Stephanie Vipperman.
Although Vipperman
decided not to contest
Hazelwood’s
insanity
plea, she also pledged
to do everything in her
power to make sure he
stays in a state mental
institution.
“Now that Hazelwood
has entered his formal plea of Not Guilty
by Reason of Insanity
(NGRI), and his plea
has been accepted by
the court, I am free to
make
extra-judicial
statements to the press
and would like to address his plea and the
consequences of his
plea,” Vipperman said
in a news release.
After being notified
by Hazelwood’s defense
attorney, Alan Black,
that a sanity evaluation
had been completed and
an NGRI plea would
be presented, Vipperman said, the commonwealth hired its own expert, Dr. Leigh Hagan,
to complete another independent evaluation of
Hazelwood.
Hagan was “highly
recommended” by prosecutors across the state,
Vipperman said.
“In his expert opinion,
Dr. Hagan declared that
Hazelwood met the requirements for NGRI,”
Vipperman said. “Despite my scrupulous
review of the evidence
with Dr. Hagan after
he issued his opinion,
he still maintained that
Hazelwood met the criteria for the legal definition of insanity.
“With no evidence or
expert to disprove Hazelwood’s insanity, I
was left with no other
course of action,” Vipperman said. “I therefore conceded his NGRI
plea.”
Vipperman said the
principle behind the
NGRI plea is that Virginians, through their
legislators,
“believe
that the law should not
punish defendants who
committed a criminal
act for reasons beyond
their control as a direct
result of mental disease.
“It is a matter of
law that someone who
meets the criteria for
insanity be committed to an institution
as opposed to prison,”
Vipperman said. “I am
bound to uphold that
law. I am also bound
ethically as a lawyer to
conform to the requirements of the law.”

Fire
destroyed
a
mobile home in the
Fairystone
community March 22, according to a report from
Fairystone Volunteer
Fire Department Chief
Stuart R. Scott and
First Captain Brian
Phillips.
None of the firefighters was injured while
trying to battle the
blaze in windy conditions.
The call was reported by a neighbor
at 6:23 p.m. When the
Fairystone Volunteer
Fire Department arrived on the scene at 83
Stone Lane, they found
the fire fully engaged.
The home was located
in a mobile home park,
owned by Donald and
Marilyn Lewis, off Rt.
57. The tenants were
not at home at the time
of the fire.
The Fairystone Volunteer Fire Department
was
assisted
by the Woolwine Volunteer Fire Department,
the
Patrick
Henry Volunteer Fire
Department, the Patrick Springs Volunteer
Fire Department, and
the Smith River Rescue
Squad.
Crews were on the
scene
approximately
two and a half hours.

Schoolboard approves
$30.3 million budget
By Nancy Lindsey
The Patrick County
School Board approved
a $30,338,783 school
budget for 2016-2017
March 24 that incorporates a salary increase
of 2% plus experience
step for all school employees.
The school board is requesting a local match
of $7,116,967, which
includes a debt service
increase of $275,625
and $190,000 to lease
12 buses.
The local match (the
amount contributed in
county funds) for 20152016 was $6,602,666.
In the 2013, 2014,
and 2015 fiscal years
the local match was
$7,365,000.
The school budget will
still have to go to the
Patrick County Board of
Supervisors for approval and inclusion in the
overall county budget.
The board of supervisors is expected to discuss the school budget
at a meeting scheduled
for 6 p.m. on Wednesday, March 30 (tonight).
The supervisors will
hold a public hearing at
6:30 p.m. on a proposed
real estate tax rate increase from 54.5 cents
per $100 assessed value
to 57 cents per $100.
The school system is
expecting to receive an
increase of $409,240 in
state funds due to an increase in average daily
membership (ADM) in
the student population,
according to a summary
presented by Dr. William Sroufe, division
superintendent.
Other proposed budget increases include
$5,573 for Virginia Retirement System (VRS)
disability lines; $28,000
for bus replacements;
$33,170 for a clerical
position in the career
and technical education (CTE) department
at Patrick County High
School; $15,000 for
heating ventilation and
air conditioning (HVAC)
improvements; $50,000
for improving electrical
facilities; $166,000 for
VRS health insurance
lines; and $5,000 for
athletic programs.
Other budget changes
include the following
increases: $6,069 for a
capital lease payment;
$72,990 for instructional allocations; $264,573
for interest payments;
$44,983 for principal
payments; and $10,000
for the allocation to the
PCHS library.
The school budget
also includes $20,000
for locker replacements;
$31,906 for an additional maintenance employee; $20,000 for paving
projects; an increase of
$316,941 for technology
upgrades; and $23,000
for tools, according to
Sroufe’s summary.
The cost of the step
plus 2% salary increase
is $669,710.
The proposed budget
does not include the new
teaching positions recommended by Sroufe in
an earlier version: three
elementary librarians
or guidance counselors;
and an English teacher,
CTE teacher and foreign language teacher
at PCHS.
Those positions would

“Bee Whisperer” Mark Chorba will offer a free beekeeping
workshop at the Reynolds Homestead.
Homestead to offer
beekeeping workshop
Floyd County beekeeper and appointed
“bee whisperer” Mark
Chorba will be at the
Reynolds Homestead on
Thursday, April 7 from
6 to 9 p.m. to provide
a free Introduction to
Beekeeping Workshop.
When people think of
hobbies, certain things
come to mind, like
stamp collecting, painting or knitting. Few
people, however, think
of beekeeping. After all,
who wants to be responsible for literally thousands of creepy, crawly,
flying insects that are
known to have the ability to sting? If you take
the time to learn more
about the hobby, chances are you might develop an interest.
Keeping bees, when
properly done, can be
a unique and highly rewarding pastime. Not
only can beekeeping be
entertaining and educational, when done on
the correct scale it is
also often a profitable
hobby. Not only will
your bees create honey
and other products for
you to harvest, but if
you garden your fruit
and vegetable harvest
will also flourish, and
the environment as a
whole benefits.
It is a safe and easy
hobby to start, and
Chorba is just the person to help you on your
way. His presentation
will cover the basics of
getting started in beekeeping—equipment,
types of bees and hives,
hive management, diseases and pests, and
other appropriate topics will be covered.
This workshop is
being offered free as
Chorba and the Reynolds Homestead are
committed to helping
encourage sustainability and a healthy environment. Seating will
be limited to, however,
so please register so
handouts can be prepared.
To register, call (276)
694-7181 or email program manager Lisa
Martin at martinlm@

Arrests reported
Fire
(cont. from page 1)
The cause of the
fire is still under investigation but appears to have been
accidental.
The four tenants—
Daniel Setliff, 21,
Kimberly
Sanchez,
27, four-year-old Savanah, and six-yearold McKenzie—were
displaced from their
home, which is considered a total loss.
curate information and
understanding of what
the insanity plea would
entail, Vipperman said,
she
consulted
with
professionals in the
Department of Behavioral Health and Development and prosecutors
across the state. She
said she learned that
judges tend to be reluctant to release murderers on conditional release both initially and
thereafter.
“The detailed plan for
conditional release that
is set out by the judge
is critically monitored
by the local community
services board,” Vipperman said. “They may
request a revocation of
the conditional release
at any time for noncompliance with the plan,
which will result in immediate
commitment
to a state institution
again.
“State
institutions
are also very different from public hospitals,” Vipperman said.
“They have high levels
of security, including
maximum security at
Central State Hospital
in Petersburg which is
akin to jail/prison.”
Vipperman
said
prosecutors who had
handled NGRI pleas in
murder cases recalled
indefinite commitment
periods ranging from 10
years to life in their specific cases.
“The indefinite and
unknown commitment
period is what is frustrating to the Gilliam
family and myself about
this plea,” Vipperman
said.
“This has been a difficult time for all involved
in this case, but it has
been especially difficult
and painful for Charles
Larry Gilliam’s wife,
sons, sisters and those
who knew and loved
him,” Vipperman said.
“Several members of
the family have voiced
their concerns and disappointment with the
legal process and the
NGRI plea. The family
has continually questioned why their loved
one was killed.
“Our hope is that Hazelwood will remain
committed for an extended period,” Vipperman said. “My promise
to the Gilliam family
and our community that
I will never stop fighting
he remain committed in
a state institution as
long as I am the Commonwealth’s Attorney
in Patrick County.”
According to the summary of the case presented by Vipperman,
Travis Hazelwood’s father, Brian Hazelwood,
called 911 at 10:45 a.m.
to report that Gilliam
had been shot while
rabbit-hunting
with
the Hazelwoods, David
Knowles and William
Collins.
The responding officers—Major
Garry
Brown,
Investigator
Brian Hubbard, Investigator Steve Austin and
Deputy Jesse Pickerel—
asked Travis Hazelwood
what had happened.
Hazelwood said “he,”
referring to Gilliam,
had placed a bomb in
his grandpa’s house but
had removed it. Hazelwood repeated his statement to Brown: “I shot
him. He had put a bomb
in my house and has
been threatening my
family.”
In response to questioning, Hazelwood said
Gilliam had “removed
the bomb from the
house.”
Brown asked Hazel-
wood if he shot Gilliam
on purpose, and he responded, “Yes, I meant
to kill him.”
Hubbard did a patdown of the defendant
and found a spent 16
gauge shotgun shell in
his right front pocket.
Later, at the Patrick
County Sheriff’s Office,
Hubbard found more 16
gauge shotgun shells in
Hazelwood’s back pocket.
Hubbard read Hazelwood his Miranda
rights, which he agreed
to waive, Vipperman
said.
“Defendant said he
wasn’t under the influence of any drugs or
alcohol,”
Vipperman
said. “He said he had
wanted to kill ‘him’ for
a while and when he
saw him that morning,
he thought about killing
him.”
The defendant said he
put his gun to his shoulder, aimed at Gilliam’s
mid-back, and shot him
from about 15 to 20
feet away, Vipperman
said. “Defendant said
he wanted him to die
and meant to kill him...
Defendant felt relieved
and good now that he
was dead because he
took care of the family
problem.”
Vipperman said Dr.
Jennifer Melerski evaluated the defendant on
Jan. 22, 2015, and Dr.
Leigh Hagan evaluated
him on Jan. 12, 2016.
Both diagnosed Hazelwood with schizophrenia.
According
to
Dr.
Hagan, “for persons who
develop schizophrenia,
the psychotic features
typically appear during
late teens and mid-30s
with the peak occurrence of first psychotic
episodes in the early to
mid-20s for males.”
Signs and symptoms
may be misassessed as
depression, anxiousness
and obsessive qualities
as a result to trauma
or significant losses,
Hagan said.
“The full picture of
the mental disorder
very often is not clear
until the florid psychotic break...I can say
with certainty that, on
the day in question, he
suffered a separation
from reality marked
principally by paranoid
delusions which are not
attributable to alcohol/
substance abuse.”
Dr. Melerski reported
that Hazelwood’s symptoms included significant mood impairment
as well as a thought disorder with psychosis.
“His ability to communicate during the
current assessment and
police interrogation was
significantly impaired
with poverty of thought,
possible thought blocking, and disorganization to the extent that
he was not capable of
putting together logical
trains of thought,” Melerski said. “He voiced
bizarre symptoms (and)
gave multiple nonsensical explanations for his
behaviors, all of which
were paranoid in nature. He expressed the
belief that he and his
family were in danger,
at times imminently...”
Hazelwood also “articulated delusions of
reference—that the radio and television were
talking about/to him,”
Melerski said.
“Both psychologists
also opined that because of this psychotic
behavior,
Hazelwood
acted upon paranois
and delusional beliefs
when he shot Mr. Gil-
liam,”
Vipperman
said. “Hazelwood believed that ‘Ronald
Dillon’ had planted a
bomb and was threatening Hazelwood and
his family. Hazelwood
believed that Larry
Gilliam was ‘Ronald
Dillon.’”
Vipperman
stated
in the summary that
Ronald Dillon is a relative of Hazelwood’s
who is serving a prison
sentence for drugs and
firearms charges, and
that he did threaten to
blow up law enforcement officers.
“Hazelwood also believed that the victim
was a bad person and
had engaged in plots
and schemes to unlawfully take land and a
home belonging to Hazelwood’s grandfather,
“Vipperman said. “In
Hazelwood’s mind, he
had to kill the victim
to save his family.”
Budget
(cont. from page 1)
$300,000, based on
an average salary of
$50,000 per year.
The
departmental
budget for technology totals $1,767,252,
which includes several
increases recommended for the coming fiscal
year.
The SmartBoards in
the elementary schools
are more than 10 years
old, Sroufe said in his
budget summary.
“They are constantly
failing and we are spending around $20,000 per
year on projectors and
bulbs,” Sroufe said.
“Last year we upgraded
rooms at the high school
with Smart TVs. These
are projected to last 15
years with little or no
problems.
“There are 130 classrooms at the elementary level that would need
to be updated,” Sroufe
said. “Cost per room is
$4,100 for a total cost of
$533,000.”
Sroufe said the school
division needs to refresh
60 cart-based iPads at
$499 each for a total cost
of $179,640; purchase a
mobile device management system at a cost of
$7,000 per year; update
650 classroom laptops
(five to seven years old)
at a cost of $500 each for
a total of $325,000; rewire older parts of Patrick Springs Primary
School to meet current
specifications, at a cost
of $17,500; and replace
50 printers at $420
each for a total cost of
$21,000.
Transportation is another pressing need,
Sroufe said, asking for
an increase in capital from $100,000 to
$170,000 for the 20162017 school year to
purchase school buses
and county vehicles
($70,000).
The
transportation
department needs to
purchase
two
vans
that would be used as
trip vans, Sroufe said.
Two 2006 Dodge Cara-
vans, with an average
of 117,000 miles each,
could be used for the
special needs department to replace the
2005 Chevrolet Venture and the 2003 Ford
Windstar that are currently being used to
transport special needs
students from Blue
Ridge and Meadows of
Dan to Patrick Springs
Primary School every
day, Sroufe said.
One of the vans has
168,000 miles and the
other has 182,000 miles.
The cost of replacing
the vans would be about
$45,000, he said.
“We desperately need
to replace 13 school
buses,” Sroufe said, noting that each bus is 14
years old and has an
average of more than
150,000 miles each. One
bus has mileage of more
than 250,000 miles.
Another problem is
that it is extremely difficult—if not impossible—to find replacement parts for the
buses, because most
have been discontinued,
Sroufe said.
The proposed budget
would increase instructional allocations across
all schools from $36 per
student to $66 per student with a $1,000 base.
The PCHS library has
requested that funds allocated for other departments be returned to the
library account for 20162017 year.
“The money lost exceeds $13,000, when you
add together databases
and other online sources
that were previously provided to technology, the
loss of the library equipment budget, and the
$5,000 which was taken
to support athletics over
four years ago,” Sroufe
said.
PCHS is also requesting that $11,000 be added
back to the athletic budget, which would bring
the total budget back to
the 2008-2009 level of
$30,000, Sroufe said.

2013-2015
Juilliard
School graduate resident string quartet, Aeolus Quartet, to Floyd for
a special performance
April 2 at 7:30 p.m.
Praised by the Baltimore Sun for combining
“smoothly meshed technique with a sense of
spontaneity and discovery,” the Aeolus Quartet
is committed to presenting time-seasoned masterworks and new cutting-edge works to widely
diverse audiences with
equal freshness, dedication, and fervor.
Violinists Nicholas Tavani and Rachel Shapiro,
violist Gregory Luce, and
cellist Alan Richardson
formed the Aeolus Quartet in 2008 at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
Since its inception, the
all-American quartet has
been awarded prizes at
nearly every major competition in the United
States and performed
across the globe with
showings “worthy of a
major-league
quartet”
(Scott Cantrell, Dallas
Morning News).
The Virginia Department of Transportation

Peace
When the House of
Representatives is in
session in Washington,
D.C., members of the
House Republican Conference meet regularly
to discuss legislation on
the floor that week or
in coming days, longerterm strategies, etc.
I believe these meetings, which often cover a
wide array of topics, are
important opportunities
to help keep leadership
aware of the various
concerns and priorities
of the Republican Conference membership.
Last week, on March
22, I, like many of my
colleagues, rose to share
our views on the ongoing budget discussions.
But one of my colleagues, Congressman
Daniel Webster (R-FL),
rose with something
better.
As my colleagues
and I listened silently,
Congressman Webster
opened with, “I bring
you good news.” He
then went on to recite
from memory a portion
of the gospel:
“This is the Gospel:
that Christ died for our
sins, and He was buried,
and He rose again the
third day according to
the Scripture. But God
commended His love
for us, in that while we
were yet sinners, Christ
died for us. But the angel said, why seek ye the
living among the dead?
He is not here, but is
risen. Have a happy and
blessed Easter.”
Regrettably, it seems
many Americans are
of the belief that their
Congressional
representatives in Washington are not people of
faith. From my experience, however, I would
tend to disagree with
that perception.
As I reflect on my colleague’s recent Easter
message, I also recall
having written my November 24, 2014 column based in part on
the opening prayer at
another House Republican Conference meeting
that was given by thenCongressman
Alan
Nunnelee (R-MS), who
has since passed away
after battling cancer.
In his opening prayer,
Congressman Nunnelee
quoted I Thessalonians
5:18: “Give thanks in all
circumstances, for this
is God’s will for you in
Christ Jesus.”

Phyllis

introduced three individuals from Radford
University who gave an
informative
program
about the university’s
scholarships,
grants,
and opportunities for
students going into the
teaching
profession.
Kenna Colley is the
dean of the College of

a Virginia Outstanding
Faculty Award.
Eastridge also announced plans for a
special tour of Radford
University for members
of PCRTA in April.
Lena Martin, Janet
Moore, and Jesse Mae
Vernon led a ceremony
to recognize and celebrate the life of deceased member Donna
Joyce.
President Betty Perry

Lena Martin read the
minutes of the previous
meeting and Fern Agee
gave the treasurer’s
report. Ann Belcher,
chairperson for the

and meaningful message. Though Congressman Nunnelee’s passing was met with great
sadness, I found solace
in the statement issued
by his family:
“Congressman Alan
Nunnelee has gone
home to be with Jesus.
He was well loved and
will be greatly missed.”
Even in our imperfect
and difficult world, may
we be regularly reminded of the many things
for which we are grateful. I am grateful for
such things as my wife,
my children, my health,
the freedoms we are
able to enjoy as Americans, the privilege of
representing the Ninth
District of Virginia, etc.
As a Christian, this
Easter
season
and
throughout the year,
I also remain deeply
grateful for the hope
and promise of life everlasting offered by the
resurrection of Jesus,
who is sometimes referred to as the Prince
of Peace.
My best wishes to you
and your loved ones.
I hope and pray that
God’s love and peace
will be with each of you,
and that there would
be peace amongst all
faiths.
With my fellow Christians, we rejoice and
celebrate the triumph
of the Resurrection, and
we renew our commitment to live to the best
of our ability as was intended by God. Happy
Easter.

Patrick Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)
needs your help. We are
working with animal
control officers to try
and contain the stray
dogs that are constantly in the area of Lowes
Foods parking lot and
at Hardee’s.
These dogs are feral
and dangerous. The
possibility of rabies is a
major concern, as none
of them have had rabies
vaccinations. If anyone
goes to help an injured
dog that could be tragic.
Our concern is for the
animal lovers and the
animals. We know they
are being fed—by a lot
of people—and this is a
big problem for us. We
need for you to stop doing this so we can trap
them. They will not go
into our trap when they
are not hungry.
Packs of dogs are already starting to show
up in this area, chasing
the females through
parking lots and out
into traffic. We have to
get this under control
and need help from the
community.
PAWS is willing to
work with authorities
and get veterinary care
and find forever homes
for these pitiful dogs,
but first they have to be
caught.
Please do what is best
for these animals and
allow them a chance to
be saved. STOP putting
out and throwing out
food for them. That will
not solve the problem.
Traps are county prop-
erty—leave them alone.
Call PAWS with any
questions or concerns
at 694-2378.

Satan tricked the Jews into rejecting the Old Testament
prophets, the 12, and Jesus. Satan has now tricked
today’s Christianity into rejecting the Gospel of Grace.
The Gospel of Grace is the Gospel that will save us today.
Salvation today can only be found in the Epistles of Saint
Paul. Satan has tricked modern Christianity into believing
salvation can be achieved by getting baptized (with water),
repenting and sinning no more. This is what was required
of the Jews under the Law of Moses. Does anyone know
of anyone who has been baptized with water, repented,
and sinned no more? John 3:16 can save no one. It was
given to the Jews—before the Cross. It mentions nothing
of the Cross or of what Christ accomplished on the Cross.
If John 3:16 will save anyone today, then Christ must have
wasted His time and suffering on the Cross! St. Paul is the
only apostle sent to the Gentiles and the whole world. St.
Paul was sent to bring us the new Gospel, by which we
sinners could be saved. We cannot be good enough to
be saved. Christ had mercy on us and saved us Himself.
He said it is finished, He did everything. If we say we
still need to be baptized, repent and be born again, that
means that Christ did not do everything. And He did not
save us at all. Satan has tricked churches today to preach
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John almost exclusively. When
Paul’s Epistles are mentioned, they are mixed with verses
from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Bible clearly
states that anyone who mixes the Gospel of the Kingdom
with the Gospel of Grace, they will lose the benefit of
Christ—which is the Cross. II Timothy 2:15 tells us how we
are to study the Bible. “Study to shew thyself approved
unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the Word of Truth.” The Word of Truth is
the written word—The Bible. So how do we divide the
Bible? To understand the Bible, we must divide the Gospel
of the Kingdom and the Law of Moses, which includes
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John from the Gospel of Grace
which is only found in the Epistles of St. Paul. It seems that
churches today go to great lengths to mix the 2 Gospels.
Romans 10:4 tells us “For Christ is the end of the Law for
righteousness to everyone that believeth.” Galaians 5:4-5
tells us about those (who mix law and Grace as it is today)
“Christ is become of no effect unto you. (They lose the
benefit of the Cross.) Whosoever of you are justified by
the Law; you are fallen from Grace.” For we through the
Spirit wait for the Hope of Righteousness by faith. Romans
2:16 “in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men
by Jesus Christ-according to my Gospel of Grace—(St.
Paul’s Gospel of Grace).
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch
like me. I once was lost, but now I’m found, was blind but
now I see. T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear and
Grace my fears relieved. Through many dangers, toils, and
snares we have already come. T’was grace that brought us
safe thus far and Grace will lead us Home.

Lately we have had
a lot of windy and cold
days. They call the
“redbud winter,” coming around the Easter
season. The redbuds
are in full bloom now.
Heartfelt sympathy
goes to the family of
Betty Jo Hancock Ayers. Many of you remember
her
from
Meadows of Dan High
School.
I really enjoyed eating at Elizabeth’s Pizza
the other day with Sue
Hall and her grandson
Hody. Then I enjoyed
being there with the
Martin family on Sunday.
It was a good church
service when Mike and
Jimelle Mills came.
Their singing was wonderful and Mike’s message was so good. I really felt like I had been
to church.
I’m looking forward to
the Easter services at
church. There are a lot
of services for the Easter season in Patrick
County.
We enjoyed some of
Sue Hall’s salsa and
chips when taking a
break at the food ministry. Everyone loved
it—thank you.
The Jesus House
clothing ministry is doing well with an abundance of clothing for everyone. Come and see.
I see that my bleeding heart is coming
up. I got a start from
my grandmother Dollie Hylton’s plant. She
had a huge one in the
chimney corner at her
house. I have always
Blue Ridge Therapy
Connection is saddened with the passing of Caroline “Carrie
Sue” Culler, known
to staff members and
residents as Granny
Culler.
Caroline was 107
years old. She was
born February 7, 1909,
in Ararat. She had
seen many things in
her lifetime and it was
a joy to hear her talk
about the past and
the history of Patrick
County.
I remember when I
first met Granny, she
asked what my name
was, then she told me
I was from the Critz
area of the county.
She told me that she
had heard of my family and started naming
members of my family.
Needless to say, I was
very impressed, When
I asked her did she
know them personally,
she told me no.
Granny also showed
me many of her journals and pictures of
her family. I remember
asking her what she
did to live so long—
was it something she
ate or did—and she
told me she had never
eaten an egg in her
life. Then she told me
she had a Pepsi and
Reese’s Cup every day
of her life, and at that
time, she really enjoyed pork rinds too.
During the years at
Blue Ridge, Caroline
became
everyone’s
Granny. We would go
and talk to her in her
room. She would al-

taken some of Grannie
Dollie’s bleeding heart
with me to the different
places I have lived.
Sandy Man’s owner
now says he is doing
well. He has plenty of
room to play and roam
around on a farm. I’m
hoping to visit them
sometime soon. I do
miss our visits.
Lately some folks
have given me an abundance of food for the
Patrick Springs Pentecostal Holiness Church
food ministry. We have
also been blessed with
some gift cards. Thank
you—you are a blessing. Then the Church
of God of Prophecy gave
me a box of food for the
soup kitchen.
Guess what? I stopped
by Van and Donna
Rowe’s house to deliver
stuff for the soup kitchen and they had some
cute little baby chicks.
I was so sorry to hear
of the death of Peg
Spencer. My love and
heartfelt sympathy go
out to the family.
Something to ponder:
Maybe the best place
for “the buck” to stop is
in the offering plate.
Household hint: to
repel ants, spray blue
Dawn detergent on
countertops, cupboards
and any area where
you see ants. The slight
residue of Dawn that
remains will not be a
problem for kids or pets,
but ants hate it. If you
see a trail of ants, hit
them with Dawn spray.

ways offer you something to eat or drink,
just like she would
have done in her home
in Ararat. Any time
you asked her for help,
she was right there to
give all she could, by
telling you her life story, your family history
or giving you a recipe.
Caroline didn’t attend that many activities. She loved playing
bingo, going shopping
at Walmart, and going
out to eat at Snappy’s
Lunch in Mount Airy,
N.C., which is owned
by members of her
family.
Each month she
would go to Walmart
and get small items to
make gifts to give people who would come in
to visit with her, and
gifts for her family.
She always would get
her Reese’s Cups too!
She didn’t have to buy
Pepsi, since the Pepsi
Company gave her a
lifetime supply that
was delivered to the
nursing center when
she was in need.
She loved horses,
playing music, sewing and her family.
She was blessed with
a very loving and caring family who visited
with her weekly and
called her daily.
Her Blue Ridge family will truly miss hearing the stories of the
past history of Patrick
County and the stories of different times
in our country. Caroline was like a book
of
knowledge—she
enjoyed sharing with
those who wanted to
hear or learn from her.
She was also a very
compassionate,
caring and loving person.
She was always making things and sharing
her talent with others.
You know sometimes in your life,
when you meet someone who is very special and a unique person, you will never
forget them. When I
met Caroline Culler,
I knew I would never
forget her and her
wonderful
wisdom,
humor, loving and
caring heart. We were
truly blessed with
having Caroline become part of our Blue
Ridge family.

Lady Cougars pick up 3 wins
By Stephen
Henderson
It was a good week
last week for the Lady
Cougar softball team
of Patrick County High
School. They picked up
three wins; they beat
Christiansburg
18-5
Monday
afternoon,
George Washington of
Danville 18-1 Tuesday
and Tunstall 4-1 Thursday.
Perhaps the previous
week’s loss to Halifax
re-charged the Lady
Cougars’ drive for last
week’s three victories.
Last Monday’s game
at Christiansburg saw
the Lady Cougars come
out swinging. They
scored 12 runs in the
first three innings on 11
hits and added six more
runs in the next two innings before the game
was called due to the
slaughter rule.
Christiansburg scored
runs in the fourth and
fifth innings.
Brandi Woods went
2-2 with a two-run
home run and a double;
she reached base twice
on errors.
Savannah Moorefield
went 3-4, just missing a
cycle. She singled in the
first, tripled in the second and doubled in the
third.
Melissa
Pendleton
went 2-4 with two RBIs.
Morgan and Sydney
Biggs each helped with
two RBIs each.
Cassidy Largin took
the win on the mound
pitching three innings.
She struck out five, had
one BB and no hits or
runs. Moorefield finished the last two innings with one strikeout, 1 BB, two hits and
two earned runs.
Tuesday’s home game
against GW went five
innings with the Lady
Cougars scoring nine
runs in the second inning to move into the
lead 11-0. They picked
up seven more runs in
the third and fourth to
end the game 18-1 The
Lady Eagles’ lone run
came in the fourth inning.
Brandi Woods went
4-4 with three doubles
and a three-run home
run; she had four RBIs.
Melanie
Roberson
went 3-4 with three
doubles and two RBIs.
Sydnee Biggs had two
hits and two RBIs. Melissa Pendleton had two
hits, scored two runs
and one RBI.
Cassidy Largin took
the win on the mound
in three innings with
three strikeouts. Melanie Roberson went in for
relief, striking out two.
Thursday, the Lady
Cougars beat Tunstall
4-1.
“We did have a good
performance from Cassidy; however, she did
allow six free passes for
the Lady Trojans, but
did not allow a hit and
had 14 strike-outs,” said
Coach Roger Wilson.
At the plate, Abby
Hutchens had two doubles and an RBI.
Morgan Biggs and Zoe
Hutchens had two hits
each.
The Lady Cougars are
now 5-1 for the season.

The Wood Brothers
are coming home
The date was July 4,
1947. Red Byron won
the first race ever at
Martinsville Speedway.
Among the 9,000 fans
in attendance was an
almost 22-year-old and
his 13-year-old brother
from nearby Stuart.
NASCAR Hall of
Famers Glen and Leonard Wood were sitting
on the backstretch that
day; just two fans, not
knowing the sport they
were watching would
shape their lives.
“I remember it was as
dusty as…” Glen Wood
said, before Leonard
chimed in.
“You couldn’t see the
cars hardly,” Leonard
said.
According to Glen,
it wasn’t exactly what
Martinsville Speedway
Founder H. Clay Earles
had in mind.
“He had advertised it
was going to it was going to be so nice, and
people came there from
church with their suits
on and all of that,” the
now 90-year-old said.
“You went out of there
with red face. You had
red hair and everything.”
Of course, the dust
is no longer an issue,
as the track was paved
back in 1955.
There must have
been something in the
dust and dirt that got
into the brothers’ blood.
They formed Wood
Brothers Racing in
1950, with Glen as the
driver and 15-year-old
Leonard as the chief
mechanic, and have
been racing in NASCAR’s top-series ever
since.
“My dad’s first ever
start in a NASCAR
Grand National (now
Sprint Cup Series)
event was in 1953 there
at Martinsville,” Eddie Wood, Glen’s oldest
son and team president
said. “So, it’s a special
place for us. It’s special that Martinsville
Speedway is still there.”
The Wood Brothers
are no strangers to success at Martinsville either, although it’s been
awhile.
Both Cale Yarborough and David Pearson won a race at Martinsville driving for the
Wood Brothers.
Buddy Baker, Donnie
Allison, Curtis Turner
and Dale Jarrett are
among the greats to
turn laps at Martinsville for the team, but
when asked who the
best to ever drive the
famed No. 21 was,
Leonard didn’t hesitate.
Glen Wood stands next to his first NASCAR Grand National
car, a 1953 Lincoln, at Martinsville Speedway on May 17,
1953—his first NASCAR start. (Photo credit: Eddie Wood /
Wood Brothers)
“He’s sitting right
there,” he said, while
pointing to his brother. “When I started
out I was 15 and I
never imagined I’d be
the crew chief for the
world’s greatest drivers, David Pearson, AJ
Foyt, Cale Yarborough,
Parnelli Jones, Buddy
Baker.
“All of those wins
were very rewarding,
but there is nothing
like sitting there and
watching your brother
win.”
While Glen didn’t
have the wins at Martinsville he had at
other tracks (he only
won once, in 1960), he
did sit on the pole four
times and have five top10 finishes.
“You always want to
run well at home, but it
seems we didn’t win as
much at home as we did
at other places,” Glen
said.
In recent years the
team had scaled back
to running part-time,
which kept Martinsville off of their schedule. However, back to
running full-time in
2016, the STP 500 will
mark a homecoming of
sorts for the team.
“It’s a really big deal,”
Eddie said. “It’s home
and it just never really
sounded right when
everybody was racing
there and we weren’t
there. We’re really looking forward to it.”
It’s been five years
since the Wood Brothers fielded an entry at
Martinsville Speedway.
Their last hometown
start came in 2011,
with Trevor Bayne behind the wheel.
“I could tell it was a
special place for them
when we were up there
for an autograph session and the museum
that was supposed to
end at 8 o’clock and
didn’t end until midnight,” Bayne said.
This time it will be
Ryan Blaney holding
the steering wheel. He
too has experienced
Stuart and has a feel
for what racing at Martinsville means to the
Wood family.
“I’m looking forward
to it,” he said. “I know
the Wood Brothers are
very much looking forward to racing so close
to Stuart.
“I’ll go up there just to
check out the museum
itself. You always find
new things that you
didn’t notice last time.”
Blaney, who is part of
a heralded rookie-class,
has two top-10 finishes
through the season’s
first five races. Should
he breakthrough and
pick up his first career Sprint Cup Series
win at Martinsville, he
wouldn’t be alone in
celebrating.
“We’d sure love to
win this thing or at
least finish well for the
fans around here,” Glen
said. “They come in
here and they’re just all
hung-up about us running Martinsville again
this year. It would be
nice to run well down
there this year and if it
happens to be in front,
it would be great.”
Leonard agreed, but
also talked about what
a win would mean going forward.
“For your hometown
fans, you always want
to win at home,” he
said. “A win puts you
in the Chase, so a win
would be big time no
matter where we won it
with Ryan, but it would
be very rewarding to
get a win at home, at
Martinsville.”

Cougar soccer suffers three losses
By Stephen
Henderson
The Patrick County High School boys’
soccer team hosted
three matches last
week and lost all
three matches.
Monday, the Cougars lost to Christiansburg 8-1.
Freshman
Nate
Scott made the lone
goal
for
Patrick
County.
At
Tuesday’s
match,
freshman
Burke
Gonzalez
scored the only goal
in the 4-1 loss to
George Washington
of Danville.
The Cougars were
shut out Thursday
night 8-0 against
Tunstall.
“We
have
been
struggling in our mid
field; we are looking
to make some changes and see if we can’t
spark our attack,”
said Coach Oscar
Tejeda.
“We made some
line-up
changes
throughout the week,
and we hope to improve,” he said. “We
looked better against
GW, but we still need
to improve,” he said.
“We made many
mistakes
against
Tunstall—I believe
that they are not 8-0
better than us; we
just lost focus on the
Cougar soccer players Gonzalo Vargas (#5), Jesus Olivares
(#11) and Logan Dalton (#9) attempt to block a shot on
goal in last week’s soccer match against Christiansburg.

Huerta in stopping a shot on goal by Christiansburg last

simple stuff,” Tejeda
said. “They beat us on
the long ball—something we don’t see
much of in our conference. We will learn to
adjust to teams that
just boot it down field
and hope they score.
That’s not our style.
“Tunstall is the
first team to hold the
Cougars without a
goal this year,” Teje-
da lamented.
“We hope to come
off the break and
have a change in momentum,” he said.
The Cougars play
Cave Spring at home
Monday, April 4, and
at home on the Tuesday, April 5. The
third home match of
the week is Friday,
April 8, against Magna Vista.

JV Cougar baseball plays 3 games
By Stephen
Henderson
A week full of road
games proved a difficult task for the Patrick County junior
varsity baseball team
last week. They did
beat George Washington of Danville by
a score of 7-5, but fell
to Christiansburg 6-1
and to Tunstall 9-1.
In last Monday’s
game at Christiansburg, the team didn’t
start crisp on defense.
They
allowed
five
runs in first two innings, but only one
earned. “Against good
teams, that will get
you beat,” said Coach
Donnie Rakes.
“Offensively, it was
a game of missed opportunities,” he said.
“We would consistently get people on base
but just couldn’t get
the key hit we needed. We had 16 people
on base for the game,
but only scored three
runs,” Rakes said.
“The real positive,
though, was after the
second inning, we really played solid baseball. With more experience I think we are
going to be a pretty
good baseball team,”
he added.
Wednesday’s game
at GW was a “Good
win for the kids,”
Rakes said.
“They played really
solid defense; I am
very proud of effort
and enthusiasm.
“We are starting to
make all the routine
defensive plays, and
when you do that,
you give yourself a
chance,” he said.
Josh Cockram and
Colby Vernon threw
the ball well. Dylan
Phillips was “lights
out;” he went 4-4 with
four RBIs and closed
out the game on the
mound in last two innings with five strikeouts.
In Thursday’s game
at Tunstall, Rakes
said that the score did
not represent what
the team did in the
game. “We really competed well with Tunstall for five innings,”
he said.
“We went toe-to-toe
with what is the measuring rod for a baseball program in our
area. With that said,
we now need to strive
to compete for all seven innings of a game,”
he said. “I am encouraged by our progress.”

Did not our heart burn within us
And they said one to
another, Did not our
heart burn within us,
while He talked with us
by the way, and while
He opened to us the
Scriptures? Luke 24:32
Now Luke tells us
of two men walking to
a village called Emmaus and on the way a
stranger joins them who
seems to be unaware of
what has happened in
Jerusalem. Of course
for those familiar with
the story of the road to
Emmaus knows that
this stranger was Jesus
who had been crucified.
As they continued to
walk, Jesus, starting
with Moses and all the
prophets, opened up the
Scripture
concerning
Himself to them. They
still didn’t know it was
the Lord until He broke
bread with them but
something was happening as Jesus expounded
on the Scriptures.
As soon as Jesus left
them they said to each
other, “Did not our
heart burn within us;”
to burn here is to set
on fire, to kindle. Their
hearts burned even
though they didn’t know
it was Jesus. His presence, without a doubt,
is enough to kindle a
fire within and I believe
the Scriptures being
explained also caused
them to be set afire.
This kindling of a
fire within someone is
not limited to those in
the Bible. This burn-
ing is still strong today
as Christians read and
study the Bible, the
Holy Spirit opens the
Scriptures up to us. The
presence of our Lord is
there when we read His
word. With prayer and
time in the Word, God
reveals to us who He is
as Jesus did for the two
men on the Emmaus
road
Nothing can take the
place of time spent in
the Word of God, the
Bible. Sunday morning
sermons or Wednesday
night Bible studies are
great but we are missing out and our hearts
may not burn within us
if don’t begin with personal study of the Bible.
I’m sure many of you
have felt that burning
when you were reading
and praying and suddenly a verse that you
had read many times
before comes alive. The
Mark Collins
Pastor
Meadow UMC
burning within may
have started because
of some event in your
life or a sermon you
just heard. However it
starts, you know it is
from God.
For others, you may
never have felt the
burning; that passion
within. The Holy Spirit
wants to work in your
life, to set your heart
on fire, to reveal to you
for the first time or in a
way you have never experienced Him before.
Take time to study
your Bible, pause for
moments to listen for
the Lord. Expect to be
kindled from within and
experience the work of
the Resurrected Lord.
