BY LATIKA LEEspecial correspondent

In celebration of a new film produced by DreamWorksStudios, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (DST)-the singlelargest African-American women’s organization in thecountry- announced its support of the movie “The Help”

with a red carpet event.The sorority has adopted the ground-breaking film, which

sheds light on the experiences of black maids in 1960s Mis-sissippi and an aspiring white writer who wants to help telltheir story, as its fourth Delta Red Carpet feature film under itsProject ART (Actively Redefining Together) initiative.

“It’s a story that is painfully honest, yet incredibly upliftingand inspiring … a testament to the lives of so many African-American women,” said National President Cynthia M. A.Butler-McIntyre.

“It offers a realistic depiction of what can happen—goodand bad—when you make the decision to stand up and speakout. The film also offers a snapshot of the harsh reality of racerelations in America while also addressing the unspoken powerand beauty of relationships among all women, regardless ofrace.”

Project ART is an initiative spear-headed by the organi-zation’s National Commission on Arts and Letters. It has aprimary focus of working with the sorority’s membership andpotential stakeholders to redefine images of the African-Ameri-can community in all forms of artistic media.

Based on a best-selling novel of the same title, the movie“The Help” opened nationwide on Aug. 10. It features threeactresses who are members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority—

Three local yoga instructors, Cla-rissa Adkins, Olivette Robinsonand Barbara Stewart, have createda reference book that can be used

wherever there is a place to sit down. Travel-ers, office workers, students, and people ofall ages now have access to a yoga instructorin the trio’s new book called “Chair Yoga forYou, a practical guide” ($10.50).

“It’s designed so that people who donot come to any classes are able to practice[yoga] simply using the book,” said Robin-

son.However, it’s not your typical dry text-

book. Each page, with easy-to-read fontand black-and-white photos, describesstraight-forward techniques for the noviceand the practiced student to engage variousposes. Stewart explained, “We chose simplelanguage because we wanted students to beable to do it and do it properly using thebook versus the whole history of yoga andits philosophy. We touch upon those, but it’smeant as a practical guide.”

The authors clarify in the book that theChair Yoga is part of the hatha branch of

yoga. Adkins further explained, “[yoga] is away to physically, mentally, perhaps spiritu-ally, create a balance in the body. So, it usesexercises, breathing techniques and medita-tion – and that’s my nutshell description ofit.”

“It’s a very simple practice and 99.9percent of the time, people feel great after-wards,” she said.

Robinson added that there are a lot ofwritten works out in the world on yoga, butit didn’t deter her, Adkins, and Stewart from

Each month, the Chesterfield CountyEmergency Communications Center takeshundreds of calls to find there’s no one onthe other end.

Emergency communications officersoften are faced with “911 hang-ups” and“abandoned calls.” Hang-ups occur whencallers hang up on an emergency com-munications officer. An abandoned call iswhen the caller disconnects even beforethe emergency communications officerhears a ringtone. Even though there was noringtone, an abandoned call is still recordedin the Emergency Communications Center’scomputer system.

Most of these types of calls are honestmistakes — callers hit the wrong speed-dialbutton or “pocket dial” 911 — but some areemergencies. No matter whether someonehangs up or abandons a call, the response isthe same: a return call from the emergencycommunications officer in an attempt todetermine whether there’s an emergency.If there’s no answer but the address isknown, such as when a call is made using aland-line phone, emergency responders aredispatched. Calls made with wireless phonesdo not always provide the exact address ofthe caller. Sometimes only an approximatelocation or the street address of the cellulartower is displayed, making it challengingfor emergency communications officers todetermine an accurate location.

Emergency communications officers areurging people to not hang up when theycall 911, even if they’ve called by accident,or to answer their phones when emergencycommunications officers return calls forverification.

Verifying whether there is an emergencycan take a lot of time and result in resourcesbeing unnecessarily dispatched. That’s whyit’s so important for callers to stay on theline even if they realize they’ve called 911by mistake, said Pam Cimburke, programsmanager for the Chesterfield County Emer-gency Communications Center.

People who have called 911 by accidentshould simply stay on the line to let theperson who answers know there’s not anemergency, Cimburke said.

Just as important as knowing what to doif you’ve called 911 unintentionally is know-ing when it is appropriate to call 911, saidTammy Higgins, operations manager for theChesterfield County Emergency Communi-cations Center. The Emergency Communi-cations Center has a non-emergency numberat (804)748-1251 that people may call whenthere’s not an emergency but they still needassistance. Some examples include callsabout barking dogs, traffic jams or minortraffic incidents in which it’s obvious thatnobody is hurt.

People should dial 911 anytime thereis immediate danger to life or property, amedical emergency, any type of fire, andwhen they see crimes in progress or suspectcrimes have just occurred. Calling to provideinformation about a crime days after itoccurred can be handled through the non-emergency line, Higgins said.

“Anytime there’s a film that’s been identified [by thenational organization], we try to support the project,” saidRichmond Alumnae Chapter president Mildred Barden,“especially with opening weekend ticket sales.”

Antoinette Rogers and Anita Roane, co-chairs of the localarts and letters committee, coordinated the logistical effortto support the film by contacting local theaters to see whichvenues could accommodate the group with seating, ticketrates, and location. She also encouraged friends and familymembers to experience the event. They also invited otherarea civic organizations and fellow members of the NationalPan-Hellenic Council, consisting of the nine historicallyAfrican-American Greek-letter organizations.

“We had a lot of people calling to make sure of its openingdate, so clearly having the book do so well helps the movie,”said Alec Depcrynski Carmike Theater Manager. “It seemsto have a lot of ‘street buzz’ … usually that doesn’t happenunless it’s something like Harry Potter or Twilight - a series.So, for the first one, it’s pretty impressive how much we haveheard about it.

creating a needed resource.The idea of creating

a guide began four yearsago when Robinson andAdkins were instructorsat the Midlothian FamilyYMCA. “Clarissa and I wereboth teaching chair yogaclasses and we couldn’t findanything that was in writingto give to our students. Welooked around and foundnothing, so I said, ‘I think wehave to write it.’”

Each author modeled forthe images seen throughoutthe book. Robinson’s brother,Herb Baugh, who also intro-duced his sister to yoga, alsomodeled. The photographywas created by one of Adkins’students, Mary Davis.

The three authors began

dedicating weekly meet-ings in 2010 to finalize thebook, which was releasedin April 2011. “It was verycollaborative arguments,”Adkins said.

Each selected meaningfulquotes and agreed to orga-nize the book as they wouldone of their classes. “Ourwhole mission for this proj-ect was just ‘keep it simple aspossible’,” Adkins said.

The crew paired with Cre-ate Space™, a self-publishingbranch of Amazon.com forthe final product. “It was avery successful interactiveprocess,” Stewart said.

“It was such a creative joyworking with these ladies,”she said.

Stewart is currently teach-ing yoga classes for seniors at

the Manchester and Pow-hatan YMCA and uses severalposes in the book for whenshe’s traveling.

Robinson is an instructorat Manchester and PowhatanYMCA, the ChesterfieldSenior Center, ChesterfieldHeights Retirement Commu-nity and currently teaches ayoga class for people in wheelchairs at Brandermill WoodsRetirement Community.

One of the DefenseLogistics Agency Aviation’sown made a contribution toHispanic Heritage and waschosen as the sole winnerof the month’s theme in anational contest.

Maurice Sanabria’s, “Manybackgrounds, many storiesand one American spirit,”was selected by the NationalCouncil of Hispanic ProgramManagers from submis-sions sent from all across thecountry.

Sanabria, a lean six analystin the continuous processimprovement division, saidhe first heard about thecontest in an email sent outfrom the Hispanic Employ-ment Program manager’soffice, calling for themenominations. He had previ-ously been involved withthe Hispanic EmploymentProgram Committee for five

years and said he recognizedthe challenges and successesHispanics have faced over theyears.

“I was inspired by allthe people I had met andencountered working forDLA Aviation, because a lotof us have different culturalbackgrounds, different tradi-tions and different social-economic backgrounds,”Sanabria said.

“We have common bondsin the desire to progress inlife and to help our fami-lies move forward and tocontribute to this countrythat allows us to do that. Thisis what I think embodiesthe American spirit and thedream of making it in theworld,” he said.

Sanabria said that it is im-portant to participate in anyactivity that is geared towardhelping and inspiring others

to succeed. “We have all seenin the news that there is a lotof talk about immigrationand Hispanics becomingthe largest minority groupin the United States. We area big part of the fabric ofAmerica. We are increasinglycontributing to the great-ness of this country, in thefederal government, in theprivate sector, in the arts andin sports. I think creating anawareness of what Hispanicscontribute to this countryis very important,” Sanabriasaid.

Sanabria is originallyfrom Puerto Rico and saidhe moved to Virginia not toolong ago after accepting hiscurrent position with DLAAviation.

When unexpected house guests get hungryBY ELIZABETH [email protected]

Inormally do not turn the light on whenheading out onto my back porch to viewthe evening sky, but some nagging gut-feeling told me not to take another step

without really seeing what was in front of myface. And I’m glad I listened to that gnawingbit of saving grace. When I flipped the lightswitch, an eight-legged creature was hoveringin front of my nose.

I was too afraid to scream. I did manage totake a step back without disturbing the webor its owner. And then I noticed it. The brazensucker, besides blocking the exit door, had cre-ated an incredible work of natural art. Gettingover the crawly feeling from moments before,I snapped a photo to share with friends onlyto find a luminary haunting image.

Spiders are fascinating critters, from adistance. Depending on the arachnid, theirwebs are an amazing symmetry of efficiencyas they hang out waiting for a winged insectto plow into the dinner table. Of course, theyincite a bit of fear in humans when portrayedas giant man-eaters or multiplied into mil-lions in science-fiction thrillers. Who can everforget the ending of the original movie “TheFly” (spoiler alert) as the transformed man-flybegs “help me” while trapped in the oncom-ing predator’s sticky silk? I still shudder at thethought of the main character’s demise.

In real life, the majority of spiders inVirginia are relatively harmless – at least that’swhat I found through the Virginia Coopera-

tive Extension helpful hand-out online. Likeany wildlife, spiders will bite if threatened,but many of the Commonwealth’s spiders arenot venomous or harmful to humans. Theycan bounce around like the Jumping Spider,which dines on pesky flies, or create quite astir by their considerable size when runningthose eight legs across the garage floor, suchas the Wolf Spider. Or the spider can be atypical garden variety that weaves an incred-ible platter to capture bugs just like my newlyfound respectable critter that had set up itsslaughter house at my back door.

So, I debated on whether or not to inter-rupt one of nature’s finest predators fromeating the lovely mosquitoes and otherwinged nuisances that go bump in the night.I thought about taking the whisk broom andclearing the web. Yet, instead, I followedmy instinct and let the spider stay for theevening’s buffet.

It was strange how nature was accommo-dating the following evening. I saw that thespider was back again for a full-course mothmeal, although with one exception. The new-est web of the evening had moved relativelyhigher and I could easily pass without dis-turbing the web or its occupant. It’s true thatthoughts of a spider leaping onto my headfrom its mesh of death did cross my mind,but there were hot dogs and hamburgers tobe grilled and veggies to be sautéed. After all,the spider wasn’t the only belly that needed tobe fed at my house.

Soils in this part of Virginia contain a veryhigh percentage of clay and tightness of thissoil causes the infiltration of rainwater to bevery slow, if at all, according to Jimmy Parrish,Defense Logistics Agency Installation Supportenvironmental branch chief in Richmond Va.

Parrish said that during heavy downfalls, therain can wash off various contaminants off ofvehicles, buildings, and parking lots of the instal-lation into storm drains that run near the JamesRiver and Chesapeake Bay.

“Sediment runoff can bring with it manynatural and toxic components that can causeharm to stream ecosystems,” said Steve Edlavitch,environmental engineer for DLA InstallationSupport’s Environmental Branch.

“Sediment laden runoff containing fertil-izers add nitrogen and phosphorous into thecreek’s ecosystem. These nutrients cause massivealgae growth that leads to depletion in oxygenavailable for other creatures and decreasingthe biodiversity in those affected areas. Runoffladen with agricultural sediments also leads toalgae blooms that block the sunlight and hurt itsability to thrive,” Edlavitch said. The bio-reten-tion units help by slowing down the storm waterrunoff causing the sediments to settle out beforeentering the local creeks.”

The Chesapeake Bay is often subject to algaeblooms resulting from nutrients in regionalagricultural runoff. These blooms block sunlightand inhibit biodiversity in the Bay, he said.

In an effort to slow this stormwater andcontaminant run-off, and increase the water’s

beneficial infiltration intothe soils, DLA InstallationSupport and its sup-port contractors recentlyconstructed six biodeten-tion units near Building 80and at the entrance to DLADistribution Mapping.

“These units, which totalnearly 8,000 square feetin size, are soil and plant-based filtration mechanismsthat naturally remove pol-lutants and detain storm-water, allowing it to soakinto the ground,” Edlavitchsaid. We tried to build theseunits where the stormwa-ter runoff would naturallycollect. We used soils suchas mulch, fine gravel, andclean top soil that are espe-cially good at filtering outcontaminants.”

Edlavitch added that the environmentalbranch also planted specific species of nativeplants that are known for their ability to draw inmoisture to help absorb runoff. “It’s really an allnatural process.”

“This simple and natural concept benefits theenvironment in many ways,” Parrish said. “Theyallow more rainwater to actually infiltrate intothe soils of the installation. By using nature’sunique filtration process as a means of keeping

With a full spec-trum of mu-sic, dance, andstorytelling,

the 21st Annual Down HomeFamily Reunion promises tobe an enriching and mean-ingful cultural event. Thefree, family festival celebrat-ing African American folklifewill take place on Saturday,Aug. 20, from 4 - 11 p.m.at Abner Clay Park locateddowntown in Historic Jack-son Ward (at Belvidere andWest Leigh Streets).

“It's a heritage festival thattakes attendees on a folkloricjourney from West Africathrough the Caribbean andinto America. Of course,Virginia is at the historicepicenter of the latter move-ment,” said founding ArtisticDirector Janine Bell.

The event is designedto link West African andAfrican American culturaltraditions and to demon-strate ways these practiceshave been absorbed by theAmerican South. Attendeeswill have the opportunityto participate in a variety ofcultural traditions, includingtwo hands-on, interactivedemonstrations. In addition,the Ebony Philatelic Societywill explain its collections ofU.S. Postal Service stampsshowing black profiles, biosand portraiture. Its repre-

sentatives will talk aboutcollecting, First Day coversand preservation.

The festival will providecrowd-pleasing entertain-ment. J. Ron Fleming, Rich-mond's own noted storytellerand actor, will serve as masterof ceremonies and will in-tertwine cultural knowledgethroughout the event.

The festival has sched-uled legendary R&B starsBlue Magic as its headliner.Over the decades, the R&Bvocal quintet scored numer-ous hits on the R&B charts.They hit it big on the Top40 R&B singles chart withtheir best-known gold hit'Sideshow. 'Internationally-acclaimed Tobey Foyeh andOrchestra Africa will alsoperform. Their music hasbeen described as a melt-ing pot created out of aunique fusion of traditionalNigerian Yoruba music withAfro-beat, Highlife, Jazz andLatin elements. And inspiredby crooners of the 50's, thestage will go down memorylane with a group called ATouch of Charm. The ElegbaFolklore Society's excit-ing and culturally enrich-ing performance companywill appear with a colorfuland interactive program ofAfrican dance, music and theoral tradition that celebratesthe oneness of the AfricanDiaspora.

“This performance is

designed to engage audiencesno matter the age or back-ground of its members,“ saidBell, “in a way that perhapsyou will expect or in a waythat is totally spontaneous,your energy will blend beau-tifully with ours, closing thegap between performer andaudience.

Presented by the ElegbaFolklore Society, Inc.,Richmond's Cultural Ambas-sador, the festival will alsofeature the best in cultural,healthy food, unique shop-ping and children activitiesand more for families toenjoy. Event partners andcommunity service providerswill inform from the WaverlyCrawley Memorial Commu-nity Row.

Someday many yearsfrom now when she’sold and gray, LybertyAnderson will reflect on

her golf career and have a goodlaugh about the game’s ficklenature.

But by late Saturday after-noon, as she trudged off the18th green at Richmond Coun-try Club and signed for an 11-over-par 83 in her second roundof the LPGA Futures Tour EagleClassic, the 15-year-old Ches-terfield County amateur had a

difficult time finding the humorin her plight.

In position to reach her goalfor the tournament and makethe cut after an impressive 72on Friday – a round that gener-ated considerable buzz amongthe many local fans who cameout specifically to watch thelocal favorite -- Anderson wasunable to sustain the momen-tum and never got anythinggoing Saturday.

Dawson Hobbsand Taylor Staggwere skinny,wide-eyed fresh-

men when their James RiverHigh golf team won theGroup AAA state champion-ship in 2008.

That squad was so loadedwith experienced talent,its younger players had nopressure; all they had to dowas play their games whilelearning from their veteranteammates what it took tocompete on the highest levelof high school golf.

Those lessons shouldcome in handy this season.Hobbs and Stagg are nowrising seniors, best friendsand the unquestioned lead-ers of a James River teamthat many expect to contendfor another state title thisfall.

“This is the best team I’vebeen part of since the statechampionship,” Hobbs saidlast week after receiving theteam trophy following theRapids’ victory at the LakeChesdin Invitational.

led James River by claiming medalist honorswith a 3-under 69 – the only player to fin-ish under par on a steamy afternoon at the6,327-yard Lake Chesdin Golf Club layout.

Midlothian’s Kyle Hart was secondamong individuals with a 72. Matoaca’s JackField, one of three players to shoot 75, won ascorecard tiebreaker for third place.

“I think the key today was my all-aroundgame,” Park said. “If I hit a bad drive, myiron play backed it up. If I hit a bad ironshot, I made a putt.”

Park, who transferred to James Riverfrom Mills Godwin prior to his sophomoreyear, gives the Rapids a luxury they haven’thad since 2008: a trio of veteran players whoall have the ability to earn medalist honorsevery time they tee it up.

Like the state championship team, thisJames River squad also has great chemistry;Hobbs said the players probably spend moretime trying to beat each other in ping pongand video games than they do playing golf.

“We all get along great,” he added. “Theseguys are my best friends in the school andit’s been that way for four years.”

Stagg and Hobbs learned a lot as fresh-men from watching the way seniors NickAustin and Michael McLean set the tone foreveryone else, and they’re trying to fill thesame role this season.

“We definitely have to watch how we actand make sure we’re setting a good examplefor the younger guys,” Stagg said.

James River got off to what coach ScottHartman called “a good start” by winningthe 10-team tournament with a four-playertotal of 301 – 12 strokes better than run-ner-up Matoaca and 25 ahead of third-placeAtlee.

At the same time, Hartman found plentyof room for improvement – especially fromhis seniors. Stagg hit the ball much betterthan his score (77) showed and Hobbs fin-ished with a 78 after spending much of hisround in rough he described as “weird.”

“We have enough depth to give anybodytrouble. We just need to score a little betterto get under 300,” Hartman said.

James River most likely will need to breakthe 300 barrier as a team if it wants to de-throne defending Central Region championDeep Run and mount a serious challengeto strong teams like Chantilly at the statetournament.

While Deep Run lost one of its top twoplayers to graduation in Jason Schumacher,the Wildcats return a state medalist con-tender in Chris O’Neill and a battle-testedteam that won’t surrender its regional crownwithout a fight.

“They still have a lot of solid players. Ithink it’s going to be a good duel comingdown the stretch,” Stagg said.

Park, who noted it’s “more enjoyable”

PHOTO BY CHARLIE LEFFLER | MEDIA GENERAL NEWS SERVICEFamily, friends and local golf fans came out to cheer on Lyberty Anderson this weekend at the Eagle Classic.

from bad to worse for Andersonwhen intermittent wind and rainmade playing conditions at RCC farless than optimal.

Her two-day total of 155 woundup on the wrong side of the cut lineby eight strokes.

“Nothing felt right Saturday,”Anderson said Monday evening.“My swing was off. I tried to fixit on the range and while I wasplaying, but the bad shots just kepthappening … and the rain didn’thelp, either.”

Anderson acknowledged sheput a lot of pressure on herself thisweekend, especially after her two-birdie, two-bogey opening roundgenerated considerable buzz amongthe dozens of local fans who cameout just to watch her play.

"Normally I don't get nervous. Ijust play golf," she said. "I was just

trying to do so well for everybodythat I didn't do a good job of stay-ing in the moment."

Coming off the 17th green onFriday, Anderson autographed agolf visor for a young girl who waswaiting there specifically for her.

When Anderson finished sign-ing her scorecard on Friday, she

was met by reporters from all threeof Richmond’s local television af-filiates and agreed to do on-camerainterviews with each.

After finishing the interviews,she saw another little girl waitingand took the time to speak withher young fan.

“I had a really good time and

got to meet a lot of nice people,”Anderson said. “One of the thingsthat made my week was all thepeople who wanted to come upand talk to me. I wasn’t just a facein the crowd.”

One of only two amateurs in the144-player field, Anderson showedFriday why tournament director

Matthew Schulze was so happy tooffer her a special exemption intothe event.

Brian Okumura, SportsQuest'sdirector of golf, will coach Ander-son when she begins a 10-monthstint at the new SportsQuest GolfAcademy.

Okumura served as Anderson'scaddie last weekend and was im-pressed by her Friday performance.

“This should move her forwardin leaps and bounds in maturityand confidence,” Okumura told theRichmond Times-Dispatch. “Shehandled herself so well. Her com-posure was tremendous. She hit theball beautifully all day.”

Despite the disappointing finish,Anderson knows she has to "getover it and move on."

"I believe in myself and I know Ican hang with those girls," she said."It's coming along slowly, but I'mgoing to get there."

Josette, Age 81 I came into INTEGRATIVE HEALTHSpine & Disc Center to be treated for pain in my lower back that radiatedinto my right leg. I had the problem for at least 2 years. I have been toother chiropractors in the past but they weren’t able to help me. I used toexercise 3 times a week, but had to stop because of the pain. That is notthe case anymore. I can finally exercise again without pain! I receivedNewLife Laser Therapy, Decompression therapy, and performed variousexercises and stretches during my treatment. The doctors and staff werevery thorough, and the treatment was gentle and painless... and now Iam PAIN FREE! I would definitely recommend anyone in pain to go toINTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center.

Connie, Age 51 I can’t say enough about the success of thetreatment I received from INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center.Three weeks ago, I was in extreme pain Today, I am virtually pain free. I wasalmost hopeless when I first came into their door. Through the combinationof spinal decompression, laser therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and physicaltherapy, I have found relief and myself once again. I immediately began to seeresults after the first treatment, and have improved significantly each and everyday. It is a new and better way of life. I smile again and can perform my jobwith zest and vitality once again. I would highly recommend INTEGRATIVEHEALTH Spine & Disc Center to anyone who is suffering with back and/orsciatica issues. Don’t wait any longer - just call them. It’s amazing how goodI feel!

Debbie, Age 46 I came into INTEGRATIVE HEALTHSpine & Disc Center for knee pain and also for pain in my neck and painbetween my shoulders. My knee pain has been a problem for 10 years. I triedinjections and other medications over the years, and none of it helped. I wasn’table to walk my dogs or work out at the gym because of the pain. I was los-ing hope. Then I saw the ad for INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & DiscCenter and thought I would give their office a try. I actually got relief on the1st visit! From the laser treatment, to the spinal decompression, to the exercisesand stretches... all of it helped dramatically. The treatments were very gentleand painless, and now I am PAIN FREE! I would absolutely recommendothers to INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center. The staff is veryprofessional, friendly and easy to work with.
