ince 2003, the Cumberland County Farm Bureau has budgeted funds for a Scholarship Program, which stemmed from the organization’s acknowledgement of the need for continued education and technical training in the agricultural community.

Funds originally were directed only to students and individuals interested in furthering their education or skills in agriculture.

We hear a lot about bullying, cyberbullying in particular, among children and teens.

Electronic aggression among adults is viewed separately in the eyes of the law.

Laws addressing adult cyberharassment and/or cyberstalking are on the books in most states, as are laws specifically addressing cyberbullying among minors.

Not all “sticks and stones” thrown online qualify as the kind of harassment that can result in legitimate legal action – the same goes for the non-cyber world.

But just as words written on paper or said face-to-face can still hurt, so can cruelty transmitted electronically.

No matter what you want to call it, grown-ups and teens alike are susceptible to rumor-mongering, name-calling and just plain meanness issued through social media, e-mails, text messages and websites of all kinds.

The worst of it, in my opinion, happens on websites where there’s absolutely no requirement for posters to provide any identifying information. Unless someone has gone out of their way to create an anonymous Facebook profile, their comments and posts on that particular social network are clearly coming from a specific person. On anonymous message board sites, posts come from users identified only by handles like “thatsthetruth,” “wants to know,” “Colorado Chick” and “Wow.” Emboldened by having little to no accountability for their see Cyberbullying > 3

Elsewhere on the worldwide web are entire websites dedicated to making fun of people’s appearance in photos both old and new. Often, these people have no idea they’ve been snapped with a cell phone camera while innocently walking in public, or that their personal photos have been lifted from online albums or social networks. Still other sites serve as repositories for risqué photos shot either without the subject’s knowledge or intended for private use. Users verbally rip the unwitting subjects apart in comments threads, and often feel compelled to share until

embarrassing images go viral.

While websites tailored specifically to serve as community gossip forums or ridicule repositories are examples of some of the worst the Internet has to offer, sites of a more innocent nature also are stained by the meddling of anonymous aggressors.

There’s a link-sharing site I once frequented because I could tailor the news, humor and recipes it presented after to my particular tastes. In theory, comment sections for each posting were supposed to allow me to engage in polite and interesting conversation

After my first few posts and comments got picked apart by the websites’ meanest users, known in online communities as “trolls,” I stopped sharing or speaking up and soon lost interest. Why open myself up for ridicule from anonymous bullies?

Even in less veiled environments, where comments are tied to an e-mail address or Facebook profile, people seem to follow a very different set of rules than they would face to face. Some users are quick to lash out at others, especially

The spelling bee was established to “help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.”

To participate in the contest, students must be under

strangers, attacking their intelligence, looks, grammar, syntax and profile pictures without a moment’s hesitation. Cruelty, it seems, is far more accepted in the online world.

Once a photo’s on the Internet, it’s almost impossible to get it off. Same goes for comments, blog entries and other commentary, which are being constantly indexed and backed up. Curt comments issued from the safety of the electronic realm still hit their marks, which are real people with real feelings. The wounds hurt and the scars stay.

Students awarded YADAPP mini grant Contributed Report

For the first time, students from Cumberland County Public School (CUCPS) attended the annual Youth Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Program (YADAPP) held July 15-19, 2013, at Longwood University.

Students focused on the effects and prevention of drug abuse in their school and community and discussed how they could make a difference.

Conference activities ran from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and accommodations were provided by Longwood University.

As part of the conference, each team was asked to develop a Strategies To Act Now Plan (STAN Plan).

Cumberland students were awarded a $250 mini-grant for its plan.

Their winning STAN Plan included actions such as revamping the D.A.R.E. program, combining efforts with an antibullying campaign (Rachel’s Challenge), and inviting guest speakers to discuss the challenges teens face and the consequences of poor choices.

The students will present their STAN

Plan to the administration in September 2014 and hope to start implementation

by October of this year.

Team members included three upcoming juniors Alex Blanton, Justin Caban and Mierra Edwards, as well as sophomore Storm Hawk.

Justin Caban has been chosen as a 2014 YADAPP Youth Leader.

Working with other Youth Leaders, Justin will be leading various activities in the program for more than 400 students.

They were led by the CUCPS student government sponsor, Charles Haigh.

The students were recognized at the February meeting of the Cumberland County School Board for their achievements.

Since YADAPP started in 1984, more than 440 schools and 10,000 students have helped their schools learn about the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol.

This year’s conference had more than 100 teams from across the state that came together, shared ideas, and competed for STAN Plan mini-grants and

$60,000 has been provided to more than 30 students to aid with their agricultural career studies.

Dr. Scott H. Newton, who has worked with the Scholarship Program since 2003, said, “It has been very rewarding to see many former scholarship recipients now enjoying successful career positions.”

Funding has been awarded to every agriculture student applicant since the initiation of this program. (One of many successful career students is featured in the accompanying photo.)

Beginning with the 2014 Scholarship Program year, Farm Bureau funding for career majors has been expanded beyond support to just agricultural students.

Scholarships, available to any Cumberland resident, now are funded for numerous related career categories in addition to agriculture.

Major career agriculture areas still include traditional crop and livestock production, veterinary medicine, agri-business management, communications, and more.

New areas now include, but are not limited to, natural resource developments and environmental sciences related to conservation and farming practices. For example, forestry, horticulture, agri-tourism, food-science, and fisheries and wildlife also are included as career areas for scholarship funding.

Applicants may be a high school senior or further education student, a county farmer or any county resident interested in higher education in agriculture or related environmental areas.

Second and third scholarship request requirements have been revised to: 1) A letter of interest with an update on educational progress,

options for hardwoods and pines, wildlife, forest health issues and timber sale planning.

A tour showcasing sound forest management practices is an important part of the program.

The cost for the retreat, which covers meals, lodging and materials, is $65 a person or $95 a couple. A commuter option is

available for $35 a person or $50 a couple, for participants who wish to make their own lodging arrangements.

To register online or download a brochure, visit www.forestupdate.frec.vt.edu.

The deadline to register is April 11.

For more information, contact Jennifer Gagnon at 540-231-6391 or jgagnon@ vt.edu.

2) Amount of funds requested, and 3) A current official transcript report.

Send that information directly to the Cumberland County Farm Bureau, P.O. Box 18, 1302 Anderson Highway, Cumberland, VA 23040: Attention Scholarship Committee.

The application process is underway with a March 31, 2014, deadline for receipt of applications to the Cumberland County Farm Bureau Office.

Additional details and the application form may be obtained from the Farm Bureau Office, Cumberland High School Guidance Office and Fuqua Upper School Guidance Office.

Applications may be completed online from the following websites: Cumberland County Farm Bureau www.vafarmbureau.org, Clicks: Member Programs, - County Farm Bureaus, - Cumberland, Scholarship Programs; Cumberland County Public Schools www. cucps.K12.va.us, Click: Scholarships; Fuqua Upper School www.fuquaschool. com, Clicks: Student Life, Local/National Scholarships.

Submission of completed applications and supporting documents may be emailed to school counsellors or the Farm Bureau Office to (midge.owens@vafb.com), mailed or delivered to the Farm Bureau Office by the March 31, 2014, deadline.

The Cumberland Farm Bureau Office is located at 1302 Anderson Highway, (P. O. Box 18), Cumberland, VA 23040.

The Scholarship Program consists of two separate aspects for providing support funds to persons interested in pursuing further studies.

The scholarship portion is managed through the county high school system and the Fuqua Upper School Guidance Offices.

All applications are forwarded to the Farm Bureau Office for committee and board approvals.

The Technical Education portion is managed through the Cumberland County Farm Bureau Scholarship Committee.

Application may be made at any time of the year for short term technical training seminars or programs.

Final approval for each application resides with the County Farm Bureau Board.

Virginia Farm Bureau scholarship funding towards tuition is available to Cumberland farm families and individuals with the desire and interest in pursuing careers in the agricultural industry and environmental sciences.

Cumberland County Farm Bureau recognizes and supports the continued education and training of students, farmers and residents interested in starting and/or continuing agricultural and related careers.

County seniors, farmers, persons interested in furthering their academic knowledge or improving their skills beyond high school may apply for support funding.

Scholarship funding and amount of each award is presently dependent upon budgeted monies available in relation to the number of applicants.

Future scholarship funding may need to be supplemented due to increased interest in the expanded study areas.

Donations may be made directly to the Farm Bureau Scholarship Program.

All donations are dedicated 100 percent toward student scholarship awards.

It is expected that applications will increase due to the broadening of career study majors, as well as to an increase of college bound students in the future.

Contributions to the Farm Bureau Scholarship Program are appreciated to further strengthen and increase financial support for agricultural career students.

For more information, call the Cumberland Farm Bureau Office at (804) 492-4621.

Cumberland Today Sports Cumberland baseball preview

Tyson, Shores expected to lead Dukes Mike Schoeffel Sports Writer

T

he Cumberland High School baseball team had a rough go of it in 2013, losing all but three of their games and missing out on the Group A

playoffs.

But with a new year comes opportunity for improvement. With a new realignment plan in place that will increase their chances of securing a playoff spot – and a healthy group of returning starters – head coach Duane Partusch is optimistic about the Dukes chances in 2014.

“This is the first year I don’t have a lot of freshmen and sophomore starters,” Partusch said. “We graduated only two players and I return three seniors that I’ve had since eighth grade. Four juniors also come back.”

The most notable departure from last year’s team is centerfielder and leadoff hitter Bo Winbush. Winbush, who Partusch called “one of my best players,” graduated last June.

But, even without the multi-talented Winbush in the lineup, the Dukes are still looking to be competitive. One of Partusch’s most valuable returning players is pitching ace Cody Tyson, a hard-throwing lefty who was the winning pitcher in two of the team’s three victories last season.

Partusch recalled three of Tyson’s gems in particular: The two games he struck out 10 batters and the game against James River District juggernaut Goochland High School that saw him mow down 14 Bulldogs.

Partusch is expecting even bigger things from Tyson this season.

“I’m looking for Cody to get even stronger this year,” Partusch said. “He had some really solid outings last season, but didn’t get the run support he needed most of the time.”

Offensively, Partusch is expecting a productive campaign from Tyler Shores. Shores’ success will depend heavily on his ability to deal with the draining summer heat.

As a diabetic, he tends to lose weight during the summer, often resulting in a decline in production. If Shores can stay healthy, Partusch said he expects him to be the team’s most potent offensive threat, perhaps even replacing the palpable void left by Winbush’s exit.

“Tyler is going to be one of our biggest run producers,” said Partusch. “He’s a hard-nosed kid who plays his butt off

and doesn’t give in when the summer heat starts taking a toll on him. I’m hoping we can keep him healthy all year because he’s got a really strong swing.”

Partusch talks with a hopeful lilt in his voice when discussing this year’s club, citing the leadership of Shores, Tyson and five other upperclassmen as evidence of why they have a chance to be a force in the James River District.

The new realignment plan will increase the Dukes’ chances of success in 2014, seeing as four of the five teams in their conference will reach the postseason. One of Partusch’s main goals for this year’s team is to place within the top two in the conference, which will allow the Dukes to host a playoff game.

“Having a home playoff game would be huge for this team,” Partusch said. “I can’t think of a better way to gain some respect as a program.”

Partusch said there are many key match-ups on the schedule

this year, including games against conference foes Buckingham (a team they beat in 2013), Parry McCluer and Central Lunenburg.

“Those are the big three that we’re going after,” said Partusch.

“Those games are going to set the tone for the postseason. If we can come away with victories in a few of them, we’ll be in the driver’s seat to get that home tournament game.”

Although Partusch admitted that he’s coached teams with more talent, he’s confident that the sense of commitment and dedication exemplified by this year’s group will lead to a memorable season.

“They’re a committed group,” Partusch said. “I’ve had better teams in the past, but these kids are very responsible. I don’t have to worry about this team being on time, I don’t have to worry about them following the rules. They’re a good group to work with, and I look forward to coaching them the rest of the way.”

Cumberland’s Dukes begins their regular season tonight, March 12, against Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

Kids can play safe when participating in sports The spring sports season is a popular time for school-aged children. After a few months of being cooped up indoors, many kids are ready to spend time in the fresh air.

Organized team sports are one way they can burn energy and learn lessons in camaraderie and problem-solving.

Spring sports season presents a host of opportunities for athletic youngsters. But the secret to a successful season has little to do with wins and losses and a lot to do with making sure children have fun and take the necessary precautions to reduce their risk of injury on the playing field.

According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, nearly 40 million children and adolescents participate in organized sports across North America each year. Although sports are an ideal way to socialize and get much-needed exercise, they also can increase participants’ risk of suffering a sports-related injury. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that millions of children age 15 and under are treated in hospital emergency rooms for sports-related injuries every year. Some of the more common injuries include sprains and strains, growth plate injuries, repetitive motion injuries, and heatrelated illness.

Certain sports go hand-in-hand with the spring season. Here is a look at some popular spring sports and how to reduce a child’s risk of suffering some of the more common injuries associated with those sports.

Baseball/Softball

The start of the spring season coincides with the commencement of the professional baseball season. Therefore, many schools and towns have baseball and softball leagues that also begin once the weather warms up.

Baseball and softball are popular sports.

However, each sport involves sliding, running, fast-moving balls, and long hours out in the elements. Each of these activities can cause injury, and some of the more common injuries associated with baseball and softball include soft tissue strains, fractures after being hit by a ball, sunburn and heat fatigue.

Children who are playing baseball or softball should always wear the recommended safety equipment. This includes a batting

helmet, shin guards, athletic supporters, sunscreen, mouth guards, and eye protection.

Proper stretching and warm-ups can make muscles and tendons limber before play.

Soccer

Soccer has long been a popular sport around the world, and interest in the sport has grown considerably in the United States.

Soccer is ideal for developing hand-eye coordination. The constant running involved also makes it one of the best spring sports for kids in terms of overall exercise.

Due to the constant movement involved with soccer, players should regularly rehydrate. Shin guards can prevent injuries and bruising to the legs, while wearing sunscreen will protect kids from sun exposure.

Lacrosse

Lacrosse is a game that marries elements of basketball, football and hockey. Players throw and catch a small, hard, rubber ball with a netted stick, called a crosse.

Lacrosse is a contact sport; therefore, protective gear is essential to prevent injury.

Players must wear helmets, typically with a safety grill over the face for boys. A mouthpiece, gloves and padding can be worn to further prevent injuries.

Track and Field

RESERVE YOUR ADVERTISING SPACE NOW!

Some athletes excel in track and field.

Although less combative than other sports discussed and with little or no risk of contact-related injury, there are still some dangers inherent to track and field. Strains and sprains from falls or rolling ankles are common.

Safety precautions for track and field competitors revolve heavily around the athlete’s conditioning. Allow for ample warmup periods and make sure athletes always wear supportive footwear. Players should always consume a good deal of water or other fluids to remain hydrated, and take sufficient breaks when the weather is warm.

Spring sports are popular for children of all ages. When the weather warms, the desire to get out on the field and engage in play increases. Adults can safeguard their children by ensuring the rules of the game are met and that the proper safety equipment is always used. (Metro Creative).
