Powhatan stays intact in state redistricting Maps show big changes in representation By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
P
OWHATAN – The Virginia Supreme Court last week finalized the state’s new redistricting maps, which will have Powhatan seeing changes in name and representation but still remaining intact and not split into different districts like some counties. The court took over control of the state’s redistricting process after the Virginia Redistricting Commission, which was made up of citizens and legislators, got bogged down by partisan politics and failed to meet the deadline to come to an
agreement on Virginia’s legislative and congressional districts. Earlier in December 2021, the court reviewed maps prepared by two “special masters” – Bernard Grofman, nominated by Democratic legislators, and Sean Trende, nominated by Republican lawmakers. The final order on Tuesday, Dec. 28, 2021, adopted their redistricting maps for the Senate of Virginia, Virginia House of Delegates and Virginia’s representative to the U.S. House of Representatives. The maps are effective immediately and will affect all regularly scheduled primaries and general elections moving forward, according to the court’s final order on Dec. 28. How this will all impact the upcoming General Assembly MAP COURTESY OF SUPREME COURT OF VIRGINIA session or potential elections in 2022 remains to be determined. Shown above is a map of the newly redrawn 5th Congressional District, which There are a few big changes Powhatan County has now joined.

Local veteran reunited with treasured hat By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – When he first put the notice out about his missing hat, all Curtis Newton could think about was the loss of a very special pin. The brief but heartfelt journey to bring both back to him within a few days reminded him of why he loves the Powhatan community. The story began on Dec. 11, 2021, when Newton of Powhatan attended the Powhatan Christmas Parade. A U.S. Navy veteran, Newton wanted to wear his American Legion Post 186 baseball hat to show his respect when any of the military-related parade entrants
passed by him. The hat is special to him, having been given to him by a friend in the American Legion the first day he joined. But even more importantly, among the several pins adorning the hat was the Honorable Discharge pin Newton received after he ended his four-year stint in the navy in 1970. “I could get another one but it wouldn’t have the same meaning to it, because I have had that one 50 years,” he said. Newton was only a year out of high school when he received his draft notice in 1966. He was supposed to report to the Army on April 26. On April 25, he walked into a Navy recruiter’s office and enlisted, he said with a chuckle. After completing basic training, hospital corpsman school and physical therapy school, Newton worked at hospitals on the East Coast until 1968, when he was assigned as a corpsman to the USS Whetstone, a dock landing ship that would travel to Vietnam within a few months. “We were amphibious so we transported marines and did landings with the marines. We stayed on the ship and they went onshore,” Newton said. Newton served as a corpsman on the USS Whetstone until it was decommissioned in early 1970. He finished out his remaining months on the USS Tulare, getting out in September, just before the ship was sent to Vietnam. “It seemed like a long four years when I look back now. It seemed kind of boring at the time, but it
CURTIS NEWTON seems more exciting now,” Newton said. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
* Parade day was windy, and not wanting to risk losing his American Legion hat, Newton determined to carry it in his backpacks and only take it out when he wanted to pay his respects to one of the military units. He isn’t sure when it happened, but at some point Newton accidentally left his backpack open and the hat fell out. It was only when he was in the food vendor area and a woman pointed out his bag was open that Newton realized the hat was gone. “That is when I panicked,” he said. “The hat can be replaced but it has got my Honorable Discharge pin on it. I didn’t know if I could replace it.” Newton posted a notice online a few places, including the Powhatan Today Facebook page on a post see VETERAN, pg. 4

Artistry at Winterfield apartment complex sells for $62.2 million
Gregory J. Gilligan
Richmond Times-Dispatch
Capital Square 1031 made another big-ticket purchase of an apartment complex in the Richmond region. This time, the Henrico-based real estate investment and management company acquired Artistry at Winterfield apartment complex off Winterfield Road in Powhatan County for $62.2 million, according to Louis Rogers, the company's founder and CEO. The first residents in the 200-unit complex started moving in this past May and the project was completed this fall. Bristol Development Group developed the apartment complex and sold the property to Capital Square in December. The deal comes two months after Capital Square spent $111 million to buy the 339-unit The Flats at West Broad Village apartment community in western Henrico. That sale was the largest for an apartment complex in the Richmond area in 2021. The purchase of Artistry at Winterfield is the fourth apartment complex developed by Nashville, Tenn.-based Bristol Development that Capital Square has bought. Capital Square acquired the 301-unit The Canopy at Ginter Park apartment complex at Westwood Avenue and Brook Road in North Richmond in late December 2020 for $83.75 million. The company

also bought the 373-unit 2000 West Creek complex in Goochland County in October 2019 for $103 million. Artistry at Winterfield is "another superb addition to Capital Square's growing portfolio of Class A apartment communities in the Southeast to Texas," Rogers said in a statement. "Artistry is located in a well-to-do neighborhood with a median household income of $172,916 within a one-mile radius, according to Yardi Matrix. And the icing on the cake – 19.6% rent growth in the submarket, the highest year-over-year rent growth in the region, as of August 2021." The acquisition was made on behalf of a Delaware statutory trust investment offering that seeks to raise $35.2 million in equity from accredited investors. Capital Square has been making significant investments in apartment communities in the Richmond region in the last couple of years. In addition to buying several apartment communities in the area, Capital Square has three apartment buildings in Scott’s Addition under construction for a total of 212 units. It also has a 350-unit apartment community under construction in Scott’s Addition and the company has another property under contract in that neighborhood to turn into 350 apartments. Since its founding in 2012, the company has acquired 144 real estate assets for over 3,800 investors.

Bartles, who has been teaching yoga for eight years, said this is not a class featuring “fast moving or crazy poses. The main focus is for relaxation and relief in tight areas of the body.” “The way I teach Gentle, it is a good class for someone new to yoga, who can’t move as fast, or just really wants the space to relax and get out some tight spots,” she said. Participants are asked to bring a yoga mat, towel and firm pillow, block or towel for support.

Library staff members love doing programming for people of all ages, especially when they are planning in-person events, said Michelle Wells, library clerk. But between continued COVID-19 restrictions and not having a library director, many plans had to be put on hold in 2021, she added. The staff is easing into the new year slowly, with special programs added to the regular events list in the first few months, she said. The programs are sponsored by the library and the Friends of the Powhatan County Public Library. “Once we get a new director we are hoping to continue some other programming as well like we used to do prior to COVID,” she said. “We are hoping to get more participants and we are hoping to get the community involved, talking and coming into the library and getting out of the house.” Administrative assistant Fran McCreight added that staff are anxious to bring more programming back, but they are committed to doing it safely. “As restrictions ease our choices will increase. Health and safety matter.” The new offerings kick off with Gentle Beginner’s Yoga, which was offered as a one-time event in 2021 but will now be added as a free monthly event through May. The first session will be held at

Interact Club cleans local resident’s yard
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
On Dec. 29, 2021, the Powhatan High School Interact Club along with The Rotary Club of Powhatan teamed up for a yard cleanup project for a family in Powhatan. Interact club is sponsored by Powhatan Rotary and is like a rotary club in high school. The high school club has helped the civic organization with trash pickup and they have other events planned. The person they helped was a Powhatan homeowner referred to the club by Habitat for Humanity-Powhatan. This year the Interact school sponsor is coach Mike Henderson and the civic organization is looking to build the club with him.
book page or by visiting the front desk. “We have heard it was pretty popular at other libraries and I know everybody around this time loves hot chocolate so you can’t go wrong with that,” Wells said. “Also, a lot of people were giving them as gifts this year for Christmas in stockings.” In March, the library will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day by giving back to the local community. The public is asked to donate jars of peanut butter for Powhatan-based nonprofit Backpacks of Love. Those who participate will get a chance to win a special St. Patrick’s Day snack basket. Donations will be accepted throughout the month of February until March 17. The winning name will be drawn on Thursday, March 17. “We have had a large number of par-
ticipants for our baskets. Back in November we had our pie raffle, where we had pies donated from Vanilla and Bourbon. We had people bring in food for the food pantry. We had a good positive response from that. We had people say we love to do this raffle stuff; it’s fun,” Wells said. Wells said that there are other programs in the works, including some in April and May in conjunction with local Master Gardeners. She added that the library is open to more programming but funding and people to lead events are always a consideration.

Library seeks young patrons looking to have an adventure By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
POWHATAN – Powhatan County Public Library is inviting young adventurers to come take part in a new quest throughout the month of January. Save the Fairy Riddle Adventure is a new program that will run from Jan. 7 to 31 and offer young readers the chance to have fun in the library stacks. The program is free and open to anyone but is geared to be accessible to children in kindergarten through third grade. To participate, patrons can visit the library’s front desk, where they will receive information about the adventure ahead, said Brooke Rabas, senior desk clerk. “They are trying to help a fairy save her fairy friend from an evil wizard. To
do that they have to go to different points throughout the library to find the puzzles that lead to the castle where the fairy is being kept,” she said. The answers to the riddles will provide the spell the adventurers need to release the fairy, which they will bring back to the front desk to be honored for saving the fairy and receive a prize, Rabas said. “We decided to do it in January because the holidays are over and there is nothing exciting going on, so we are hoping this will be someMETRO CREATIVE thing exciting people can do,” she said. “I hope they have something fun and exciting to look forward to and they can feel proud of themselves for completing it and solving all the riddles.” No preregistration is required for this program.

about the parade. The newspaper also reposted Newton’s plea, and the community shared it more than 150 times. Then he waited to see if he would get a response. Meanwhile, earlier that day at the parade, Sara Christman, owner of Stars in Motion Performing Arts Academy, was a parade participant. Her husband and mother-in-law came to watch the parade and stumbled upon the hat. She said they didn’t initially pick it up, thinking the owner might try and retrace his or her steps, but when they saw it again after the parade, Christman’s mother-in-law, Patty Christman, insisted they pick it up. Christman said Patty asked her to post it on the studio’s Facebook page, which she planned to do, thinking people would share a veteran story and help get the hat back to its rightful owner. But before she could do that, two things happened. Unbeknownst to her, on the Tuesday after the parade, Patty Christman called the post to say she had found the hat and was looking for
the owner. Newton happened to be there at the time and was relieved to hear it had been found and arrangements could be made to return it. Meanwhile, Christman saw the Powhatan Today post and reached out to him then and there. But she happened to be visiting her parents’ home in Powhatan at the time, and when she told them about the incident, she learned the couple were friends with the Newtons, who lived down the street. By that evening, Newton was reunited with his hat. “It made everybody feel good, especially because my mother-in-law is from a navy family. They know the importance of those pins,” Christman said. Newton said it was a great relief to have the hat back but its safe return actually wasn’t the highlight of the story for him. “In the end I found out I could replace everything. So getting the hat back was very small in comparison to the community coming together to help me,” he said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

Shown are maps of the newly redrawn House of Delegates District 72, left, and Senate of Virginia District 10. Powhatan is part of both. The changes to the districts were some of many made when the Virginia Supreme Court finalized the state’s new redistricting maps on Dec. 28, 2021.

though what those impacts will be are still playing out. The biggest change is Powhatan’s move from the 7th Congressional District, where it is currently represented by Democratic Rep. Abigail Spanberger, to Republican Rep. Bob Good’s 5th District. Northern Hanover, Louisa, Fluvanna and Goochland counties are also making that move. Good is currently serving his first term in Congress. He is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and has been named to the Education and Labor Committee and the Budget Committee. Prior to his election to Congress, Good served one term on the Campbell County Board of Supervisors from 2015 to 2019, according to his website. Professionally, he worked as the senior associate athletics director for development at Liberty University for 15 years, following a 17-year career with CitiFinancial. Spanberger announced on Wednesday, Dec. 29 that she plans to seek re-election for Virginia’s 7th District seat. With the Virginia Sen-

ate, Powhatan will remain in District 10, but it is going to be getting some new additions. Before redistricting, District 10 was comprised of all of Powhatan and parts of Chesterfield County and Richmond City. But on the new State Senate map, Powhatan is the only original county on that list still in District 10. It will now be joined by all of Cumberland, Amelia, Goochland, Appomattox, Buckingham and Fluvanna counties and portions of Louisa, Hanover and Prince Edward counties. Sen. Ghazala Hashmi currently serves as Powhatan’s representative in District 10. She did not respond to inquiries from the Powhatan Today about her plans moving forward by press time. In the House of Delegates, Powhatan is currently represented by Del. Lee Ware, who was just reelected in November 2021 to represent all of Powhatan and parts of Chesterfield, Fluvanna and Goochland counties in the 65th District. Ware has been a member since Jan. 16, 1998. However, with the new map, in which Powhatan is still intact, the county is now in District 72 with all
of Amelia and Nottoway counties and several precincts in northwestern Chesterfield County. Ware said in an email last week that Powhatan citizens are well served by the new redistricting maps, “for we all are situated in districts that are compact and contiguous, as the Court required.” “Thankfully, all of Powhatan remains intact in each instance,” he wrote. “The 65th District that I currently represent includes all of Powhatan, northwestern Chesterfield precincts that for the most part I represented in years past, all of Amelia, and all of Nottoway. I have worked with many citizens in both of those counties to our south, and already am in touch with both political and civic leaders.” Ware added that he finds the maps to be “rational and quite an achievement for a bipartisan pair of ‘masters.’ ” He pointed out that the Supreme Court commended Grofman and Trende for their work on the maps. ‘Special masters’ In the memo about their maps that Grofman and Trende sent to the

The pair also noted that, what they sought to do with the new redistricting maps was undo “decades of convoluted line drawing,” and they shared the belief that see REDISTRICTING, pg. 8

reason for employing redistricting commissions, however, is to minimize the power of politicians over the drawing of lines, and a frequently voiced objection to partisan line drawing is that it ‘allows politicians to choose their voters, rather than allowing voters to choose the politicians,’ ” they wrote in the memo, quoting a N.Y.

They acknowledged that, “redistricting is a complex task, one that requires the balancing of multiple competing factors. “Unfortunately, it simply was not possible to incorporate every request while remaining within the bounds of Virginia and federal law,” the pair wrote in the memo. “Moreover, there are likely thousands of maps that accomplish certain goals of redistricting that we did not accomplish, but they come at the expense of other goals we sought to achieve. We did, however, read every comment and, where appropriate, explored ways to address the suggestion.” In the same memo, Grofman and Trende pointed out that they have received a good amount of criticism for not paying enough attention to the residences of legislators, which “weakened several congressional incumbents and paired together multiple senators and delegates.” “We believe that one

Joshua Fleenor, agriculture teacher at Cumberland High School, was named the Conservation Education Teacher of the Year for the Secondary Level (grades 6-12) by the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts. The purpose of the contest is to recognize the outstanding conservation education efforts of Virginia’s teachers. All teachers in public, parochial and private schools in Virginia are eligible to participate in the program. In addition to teaching agriculture, Fleenor is a football coach, the coach of the CHS Envirothon Team, and the sponsor of the division FFA chapter. He was recognized for his achievements by the Cumberland School Board at the meeting held Dec. 2, 2021.

Barry Vassar (Fitzgerald Baptist Church, Cumberland) is shown with Cumberland Community Christmas Mother Treasurer Anne Liggon and special thanks to Ji’ Airh Smith, Ayden Wynne, Leon Fox (Bear Creek Academy) and Ben Montano (director of Therapeutic Services at Bear Creek Academy).
Contributed Report During the 2021 Cumberland Christmas Mother season, the program serviced 67 teens and adolescents (ages 13-17) and 182 toddlers, children and infants (birth-12), for a total of 249 young people served. An additional five families were adopted by churches. This year, the Richmond Area Bicycle Association donated 20 bikes for children. At Bear Creek Lake State Park, the annual Lights at the Lake raised almost
$7,000 to help with Christmas Mother needs. In addition the Christmas Mother provided 200 gift bags for seniors in Cumberland County. Christmas “Mother” the Rev. Barry Vassar, pastor of Fitzgerald Baptist Church in Cumberland, said it was, “another great year thanks to all who contributed, supported and volunteered! Keep it up folks. You are making Christmas happen for so many families and individuals thanks to your efforts.”
Youth invited to play for Middies Contributed Report Jermel “JJ” D. Barley Jr., a sixth grader at Cumberland Middle School, is the first Cumberland County youth to play for the Benedictine Middies Program and Football University (FBU) Richmond. The Middies program started in 2006 with the mission of building young men of conscience-discipline into quality players. Recruited by the Middies, JJ played on the 11 and 12-year-old team and ended the season with a 7-1 record. In his first year of playing “physical” contact football, JJ also made the FBU Richmond team after two tryouts and qualified to play on the seventh grade level. FBU is the recognized leader in developing and enhancing the ability and skill of serious football players in
middle and high school. Since 2007, FBU has trained over 100,000 student-athletes to become better football players through intense, position-specific technique training, NFL-level coaching and instruction. An average of 10,000 student-athletes try out for FBU each year and only a select few play on the regional and national level. JJ played in the FBU Atlantic Regionals in Concord, North Carolina on Dec. 4 and 5, 2021. Although his team did not place in the Regionals this year, the experience and exposure was invaluable and one he will always treasure. JJ is the son of Tiffany S. Booker of Cumberland and Jermel D. Barley Sr. of Amelia. He is also the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Charles (Pedy) and Tina Trent Jr. of Cum-

The Big Squeeze is a necessary discomfort By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

oobs. Ta tas. Jugs. Twin peaks. Cha-Chas. Knockers. Bouncers. The Girls. Bazongas. Double whammies. Are you still there? Given the topic of this column – getting my first mammogram – I thought I would go ahead and announce my intentions up front. If you can’t handle the first paragraph, this column might not be for you. If you are still with me, things are about to get personal. Believe it or not, part of the first few lines of this column were written in November 2020. I had just turned 39 and realized that I was a year away from getting my first mammogram. A few of those nicknames for breasts popped in my head, made me chuckle and gave me the idea to write this column when it actually came time to have it done. The file has been sitting on my computer desktop ever since. (On a side note, I asked a couple friends in a group chat if they had any suggestions for nicknames. One of the ladies became very enthusiastic about helping out and was sending them to me long after I told her I had all I needed.) The file was resurrected last week when I actually went and had my first mammogram done and finally got the skinny on the Big Squeeze. If you are wondering why I am writing about such a personal experience, it is very simple. While mammograms aren’t perfect, they are still the most effective tool for detecting breast cancer in its earliest stages. And for someone whose maternal grandmother and great-grandmother both had breast cancer, albeit later in life, there was never any doubt in my mind that I was going to get a mammogram at the recommended age and continue them for the rest of
my life. After I arrived at my appointment and got my vitals checked, a lovely mammographer named Sara (she agreed to let me use her first name), took me to the mammography room. While I wasn’t particularly nervous, I did appreciate that Sara recognized this was my first time getting this procedure and took the time to explain everything that would happen and what it would mean. She pointed out that after the radiologists reviewed my scans, they would send a report to my doctor and an email to me. If they needed any additional X-rays, I would be contacted. But she also added that I shouldn’t automatically think the worst if that happened, since mammograms are often about detecting changes from year to year. As a first-timer, there were no previous images to use for comparison. “So don’t freak out if they call,” she told me. While I didn’t do in-depth research about mammograms before the appointment, I did check to see if there were practical tips I should know, such as not applying any kind of deodorant or wearing pants or a skirt instead of a dress or jumpsuit to minimize how much you have to disrobe. After changing behind the curtain, it was time for the Main Event. The whole point of a mammogram is to spread the breast tissue out to make it easier to detect abnormalities. This involves placing the breast on the machine’s plate and having a plastic upper plate lowered to compress the breast for a few seconds while the image is taken. Sara gave clear directions about why we were doing two positions – one flat and one at a 42-degree angle – to get different views and a more detailed look at the tissue for the radiologist to examine. Because she knew how to get the best outcome, she got me into a basic starting position and then moved me around like a store mannequin, but in a polite way.
End of holiday season offers lasting message By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
It would be futile to ignore those feelings of warmth and belonging that accompany the holiday season. The joy of reuniting with family or gathering for that special reunion are seasonable reminders of the things that are really important in our lives and the importance of connecting with family and friends. I’m not sure why these feelings are so closely associated with Christmas and why many of us feel the need to be close to those they love at this time of year. It’s also a mystery how those who so diligently observe every civility during the few days surrounding the holiday can return to lives that often do not include those simple acts of contrition or compassion. Through decades of celebration I’ve learned the true happiness of the season resides in those simple things that make the holiday special. Ornaments hung on trees from decades of memories reveal histories of Christmas past, or remember those who are no longer here to celebrate with us. With each passing year, the most wellworn of those ornaments are the ones closest to my heart — that heart shaped Christmas tree with a baby’s photo in the center or a battered badge denoting baby’s first Christmas. What they lack in luster, they more than compensate for with meaning, and their frayed edges tell the story of a family. With passing years, the excitement of Christmas morning has waned for me, and the real joy of the season is experiencing that same excitement by the ones you love; and those Christmas traditions that somehow seemed burdensome in your younger days become the staples of the celebration. For example, a simple drive through the city to observe decorations is no longer a mis-
sion to find the tackiest lights or the most bizarre displays of Christmas cheer, and is now highlighted with the joy of a simply decorated tree sitting on a solitary hill. While we rode through the Fan District admiring the large variety of decorations and endless streams of lights, I took particular notice of the front windows of the historic homes. The sight of a beautifully decorated Christmas tree sitting in the living room filled with family and friends provided me with the spirit of the season. The warmth of a crackling fire and dimly lit bulbs provided a form of decoration that evokes the Christmas spirit for me. While my children marveled at the unique collection of lights and inflatables, I searched for that uniting bowl of egg nog and the warmth of a family gathered to celebrate the season. It’s the warmth of the celebrations, the sense of unity and the promise of the season that make it special, and for two weeks of the year, all of us take a minute to reflect and remember. As we prepare for a new year filled with uncertainty and challenges, paying that Christmas spirit forward could make that journey more palatable. Placing all of those special ornaments in old worn boxes and returning them to storage should not represent the end of a season of caring and compassion, but should, more importantly, remind of us of the things are truly important in our lives and provide inspiration for the upcoming months. Caring for the less fortunate, addressing confrontation with compassion or understanding a different point of view are seasonal messages that serve all of us well for the months that follow, and adhering to and maintaining the promise that makes Christmas a magical time of year is perhaps the most sincere celebration of the season. 8460 Times Dispatch Blvd., Mechanicsville, Va 23116 Phone: 804-746-1235 Toll Free: 877-888-0449 Fax: 804-344-8746

Hey, it’s not every day you have a complete stranger holding your breast in her hand while she asks about your Christmas. In a matter of minutes, it was all over. Sara invited me to her computer screen and showed me the images that were taken, again a nod to this being my first experience with this process. She said she doesn’t normally invite returning patients over to see the scans, but I appreciated her walking me through it this time. So how did reality compare to my expectations? My family knew I was going to be having my first mammogram last week. As the youngest, I have been hearing about their experiences for years, including the debate about which hurts worse, if you have large or small breasts. “It doesn’t matter; everybody complains,” Sara told me when I asked her. I personally am not going near that quagmire, because I believe it probably does depend on the woman, her pain tolerance, her current body chemistry and many other factors I don’t pretend to know. What I will say is that for me it was only really uncomfortable to the point of flinching during one of the images, but I tried my best to follow Sara’s direction about focusing on keeping my breathing slow and even. And let’s be honest, it is not a procedure women look forward to having regardless of whether it is a slight discomfort or outright pain. We do it because we hope, if the worst were to happen and cancer was present, it was detected early. We do it because we know, even though there are no guarantees they will catch everything, that annual mammograms save lives. I can’t forget the best part. A few days after the mammogram I received the results of my test: all clear!

REDISTRICTING Continued from pg. 5
“future remaps should not involve the same amount of disruption, since they would presumably be drawn in a fashion that permits population adjustments to existing districts without substantially affecting the preservation of cities and counties.” The memo that Grofman and Trende sent to the court outlines a great deal of their reasoning in regard to partisan balance, population equality, splitting precincts and tradeoffs that were inevitable to meet the standards they set for themselves.
Local redistricting Following the latest decennial census data being distributed to localities, the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors has also been tasked with making adjustments to the county’s district boundaries. During the board’s meeting on Monday, Oct. 25, assistant county administrator Bret Schardein gave the members a first look at the issue. Staff came up with an initial proposed redrawn map that would see small changes in all five districts. The
draft was presented at the Oct. 25 meeting. On Nov. 22, the board voted unanimously to send a draft of the local redistricting map proposal to the attorney general’s office for review. There were some concerns expressed at that time about how the upcoming statewide redistricting might impact the county if Powhatan was split. The board decided to move ahead anyway after county attorney Tom Lacheney pointed out they still had to draft an ordinance that would be advertised and voted on after a public hearing was held. Schardein said in an email on Dec.
29 that since the Supreme Court confirmed Powhatan is not going to be split among multiple districts, the statewide redistricting doesn’t change the draft local map, so the county is moving along with that process. “Regarding the Supreme Court’s redistricting statewide, we still need to review the maps and consider what the changes mean for us, but we look forward to working with our representatives just the same to ensure Powhatan citizens’ interests are well represented at the State and Federal levels,” he wrote.

n the Hawk Duals held at Hanover High School featuring six schools, the Indians varsity wrestling team flexed their muscles and ran through the competition to win the tournament on Thursday afternoon. Powhatan beat Mechanicsville, J.R. Tucker, Patrick Henry, Midlothian, and the hosting Hawks 40-25 in the final. “I was very proud of our team for earning wins against some very good programs,” head coach Jonathan Tanaka said. The first-place finish was Powhatan’s first ever at the Hawk Duals. Perfect 5-0 outings from seniors Dylan Coward and Andrew Cheatham along with junior Britton Proffitt led the way for the mighty Indians, helping the team beat every opponent by double digits. The meet was a good chance for the Indians to get some action against fellow Region 4B opponents Mechanicsville, Patrick Henry and Hanover, and Tanaka said he was pleased with what his team showed. “That’s always a good thing to wrestle well against teams we will see again,” Tanaka said. In the first matchup against Mechanicsville, Powhatan had pins by

Coward, Cheatham and sophomore Gavin Utley to lead them to a 39-28 win, their closest matchup of the day. The Indians wouldn’t let another opponent get any closer than that with four dominant performances that started with a head-to-heach bout with the Tucker Tigers. The Tigers won just two of the 10 events, with the Indians controlling the rest. Four Powhatan wrestlers ended their matchups with first-period pins, including a fall by Preston Ritz at the 1:02 mark against junior Palmer Bogdan in the 152-pound weight class. Coward won his match with a second consecutive pin, both in the second period, by taking down sophomore Ryan Dicker-
son for six team points. When it was all said and done, the Indians faced little pressure from the Tigers, winning 6312. Patrick Henry didn’t fare much better. In a 6318 win, Coward continued the trend of secondperiod pins, once again proving the period was his to win when he put fresh-
man Landon Morris on the ground with 26 seconds left. While the Indians had eight more pins and generally crushed their individual matchups, there were some notable moments in their battle with the Patriots. Sophomores Josh Wade and Talon Harness got in on the action with their first pins of the
day, but one of the few non-pin matches between Powhatan senior Andrew Wilson and Patrick Henry sophomore Chase Glenn in the 145-pound weight class was one of the most interesting of the day for either team. Wilson won in an 8-4 decision in a hard-fought contest between two tough wrestlers. Wilson
came out strong in the first period with a 4-0 start after a takedown and a near fall, but two escapes and a takedown in the final two periods by Glenn made things interesting. Despite Glenn’s attempts in the final period, Wilson was able to hold on and manage Glenn’s aggressive attempts at stealing the win late. Against Midlothian, Powhatan was in a close 30-24 battle at one point before railing off 16 unanswered team points at the end. Coward won his fourth straight contest, though this one didn’t end in a pin. He instead went the distance with junior Grace Bolstad, and the senior delivered yet another commanding performance. Coward scored 12 points in the third period with five takedowns and one near fall to win by a technical fall. In the championship game against the Hawks, the Indians took it to the home team on their own mats with another incontestable win. Powhatan won 40-25 to take home first place, with back-toback pins by Wade and Kieran Hathaway leading the way. The Indians will be back on the mats again on Jan. 5 when they celebrate senior night at home against Goochland and Monacan for their seventh meet of the season. The matches start at 6 p.m.
C&F Banks AthleteAthlete of the of Week C&F Bank’s the Week BASKETBALL ALL-STAR WHO: KATHERINE CERULLO WHAT SHE DID: Returning from an injury that sidelined her for two weeks, Powhatan sophomore forward Katherine Cerullo didn’t take long to shake off the rust. Cerullo was instrumental in Powhatan
winning the Battle in the Birdcage, a four-team tournament hosted by Hanover High School on Dec. 21 and 22. The sophomore scored five points with three steals in the first game against King George and finished with nine more points in the final against Hanover. For her efforts, she was one of three Powhatan players to be named to the All-Tournament Team.
“Katherine plays tremendous defense and is a phenomenal rebounder,” head coach Kristy Henderson said. “She’s getting back to our normal Katherine for sure.” The Indians won their two games by a combined 51 points, including the 63-42 win over the hosting Hawks in the title game.

Seven Powhatan players earn All-Metro honors By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
On the annual All-Metro football team that honors the top high school players in Virginia, the Powhatan Indians saw several recognizable names make it onto the prestigious list. After a 7-4 season that ended in a double-overtime playoff thriller against the eventual Class 4 state champions Varina Blue Devils, the Indians found themselves with seven players honored on the All-Metro list. Three players were on the second team and four players were listed as honorable mentions. Powhatan was led by three seniors on the second team, with offensive lineman Tanner Palmore, running back Mitchell Johnson and wide receiver Ethan Dowdy earning the achievement. Johnson, who was named the 804 Varsity Player of the Week on Oct. 6, was one of Powhatan’s most dynamic weapons on the offensive side of the field, racking up big-time numbers in his final season with the Indians. His 1,502 rushing yards on 207 carries and 16 rushing touchdowns led the team on the ground, but he also recorded 17 receptions for 168 yards and three more touchdowns. Perhaps Johnson’s best performance of the season came in Powhatan’s win over Monacan on Oct. 1. In the 39-28 victory, Johnson powered ahead for 202 rushing yards and four total touchdowns. While three of those scores came on the ground, the fourth was a 53-yard house call on a screen pass in the second quarter that gave Powhatan a lead they’d maintain for the rest of the game. “It’s nice to know I can trust the coach’s calls and they can trust me with the calls that they make,” Johnson said after the game. “For them to be able to trust you and get the ball in your hands with

the game on the line, it’s surreal sometimes, you know.” Dowdy was a dynamic and reliable presence through the air for quarterback Dylan Trevillian throughout the course of the season, grabbing 52 catches for 855 yards and 13 touchdowns. He also
scored two more touchdowns on the ground for the Indians. When the team needed a big-time play, chances were Dowdy was going to be the one making it happen. Dowdy’s best game of the season came in Powhatan’s 35-point drubbing of the Midlothian
Trojans on Oct. 29. The Trojans, who were undefeated and No. 4 in the Times-Dispatch top-10, had no answers for Dowdy’s playmaking and speed after the catch. Dowdy had five receptions for 102 yards in the upset victory, and two of those receptions were taken into the endzone for six points. “We know what we’re capable of,” Dowdy said after the inspiring perfor-
mance. “All year, we’ve seen our potential. We haven’t yet put up a full game. Tonight, we put together a full game.” Palmore was rock solid on the offensive line, allowing just one sack all season on Trevillian and recording 23 pancake blocks that put his defenders on the ground. Included on the honorable mention list was Trevillian, senior line-
Hey Everyone, My name is Pretzel. My birthday was Dec 7th, I turned a year old, and I am looking for my forever home. I will need someone to be patient with me, and show me how to be the best that I can be. I listen well, but as you see I am at that age where I am still learning a lot about life. I really want to be someone’s everything, and in return I will give a 110% to be loyal, and loving to my family. I am neutered and up to date on my shots. I really like other dogs, but I get very excited when I meet them, So I would need to be slowly introduced to my fur siblings as I don’t want to give them the idea that I am going to pester them all the time.

backers Chase Gayness and Wyatt Lowe and punter Hans Rehme. Trevillian was an accurate passer in the pocket, finishing his senior season with a 64% completion percentage, 1,703 yards and 23 touchdown passes. Like Johnson, Trevillian was also named the 804 Varsity player of the week at one point this season after a dominant fourtouchdown performance in the aforementioned win over Midlothian. While Trevillian earned the praise, his first response was to credit guys like Palmore on the offensive line. “I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without them,” he said. Gayness’ tackling and field vision were his best attributes in the middle of the field, as he finished the season with 124 total tackles, nine tackles for loss and one sack. Lowe was close behind in the tackling department with 111 total tackles while also adding two sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery. Meanwhile, Rehme proved to be one of the most reliable punters in the VHSL despite only appearing on the field for 20 punts. Of those 20 punts, five of those landed inside the 20-yard line.
