Transportation center gets official seal of approval By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – A project more than three decades in the making got the official seal of approval last week when local officials cut the ribbon on the county’s new joint transportation facility. A ceremony was held on Monday, April 23 to dedicate the $4.6 million building project, which was complete except for final work on the fuel station and parking lot paving. Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, called the project a great example of the cooperation and partnership between the county and school division administrations “to pool resources and to create this beautiful environment for our employees to work, for our vehicles to be serviced and our transportation department to be housed.” He said he was excited to officially open the building, although it actually opened in December 2017 to service school district vehicles and started servicing county vehicles on Feb. 1. The dedication was attended by a range of people, including four supervi-

Ted Voorhees, county administrator, said this was the first ribbon cutting he has attended in this post and pointed out it was a project he inherited. He praised the board of supervisors for having the foresight to move forward on this project after replacing the old bus garage that sat on the county’s capital improvement plan (CIP) for about 30 years. “It has been a long time coming. I’ve heard the great stories about having to flatten the tires to sneak the buses in under the door in the old facility,” he said. The project was an example of how the county and school division could work together to get the best product and the best value for taxpayer dollars, Voorhees said.

Supervisors consider how to shape Route 60 growth By Laura McFarland

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors didn’t move last week on a proposed ordinance change that the chair of the planning commission said was designed to offer a quick way to take back control of how Route 60 is developing. During its meeting on Monday, April 23, the board considered an ordinance amending county code to change certain allowed designated use types in several of the existing zoning districts. If approved, the request would revise the types of uses permitted by-right or with a conditional use permit within commercial and mixed-use transition base districts, including Residential-Com-

mercial (R-C), Office (O), General Commercial (C), and Courthouse Square Center (CHSC) zoning districts. In addition to changes to those zoning districts, some uses would be added to the Village Center (VC) and Commerce Center (CC) districts. Andrew Pompei, interim planning director, presented the ordinance to the board, speaking about the community feedback the county has received about the form and appearance of commercial development along Route 60. Based on this feedback, the planning commission decided to review the list of permitted uses. Most properties along Route 60 between Route 522 and the Chesterfield County line are zoned R-C or C, “so addressing see CHANGE, pg. 7

FREDERICK MOSS Frederick Alfred Moss, 85, of Virginia Beach, passed away on Sunday, April 15, 2018. He was born October 18, 1932, to the late Berta Fry and Harold Joseph Moss in Powhatan County. He was one of six siblings. Having had a reputation as one of the fastest kids in the neighborhood, he was aptly nicknamed “Buck.” A friend said, “He ran as quick as buckshot.” He graduated from Benedictine High School in Richmond and went on to the University of Michigan as a walk-on football player, where a stretcher was named “Virginia” because of the many times he was carried off of the field. Afterwards, he served his country in the Korean War by joining the Army. He married the beautiful Norma Laverne Moon of Louisa County on August 9, 1958, in Richmond and together they had three children. In 1971, he moved his family to Virginia Beach to begin his career with Amoco Oil Company as a local distributor until he retired in 2002. As Buck loved sports, he coached many seasons for the King’s Grant Recreation League, where he was known as “Coach Buck.” Over the years, Buck was involved with many organizations, including Virginia Sun Wheelers Basketball, Cape Henry Rotary Club and as a chairperson for the Neptune Festival. He was also instrumental in creating a wheelchair program at Lake Taylor Transitional Care Hospital, where he raised money for new wheelchairs and repaired old ones. His favorite pastimes were dinner with his “Friday Night Crew” and a cigar on a porch with his family and friends. Buck’s pride and joy were his children and grandchildren. He is survived by his three children, Cindy Coates, Kelly (Jay) Monroe and Joseph; his six grandchildren, Tyler, Lindsay, Jason, Jack, Christion and Cooper; his sister, Bobbi (Dickie) Werner. He was preceded in death by his wife, Norma; his brothers, Edward and Herb; his sisters, Evelyn Lewis and Joyce Brown; and his grandson, Dominic. Buck will always be lovingly remembered as “Dad,” “Pop Pop,” “Granddad,” “Pops” and the man who offered unconditional support to his family and friends with unwavering character and integrity. A special heartfelt “thank you” to the good people at Interim Healthcare Hospice, Commonwealth Senior Living, and the many other healthcare professionals and friends that supported Buck during his time of need. You made a difference. A memorial service will be held at H. D. Oliver Funeral Apts., Laskin Road Chapel, on May 19 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers, a donation can be made to the American Cancer Society or a charity of your choice.

It is always good to leave a job when you are feeling really positive,� Martin said. Meanwhile, Berriman, who joined the staff in August 2016, was one of several candidates to apply for the director position and was unanimously chosen by the library’s board of trustees, according to its chair, Holly Stallworth. Berriman has really “shown her leadership, the ability to jump right in and help with programming, staff development and collection development.� “She has got a positive can-do attitude and we look forward to her leadership in the library,� Stallworth said. Applying for the position was a step forward and upward in her career, Berriman said, but she also felt it would be a good fit because she has so enjoyed working in Powhatan. She sees being director as an excellent opportunity to work with a strong, engaged library board and a supportive and enthusiastic Friends of the Library group, as well as the many staff and volunteers who keep the library running. She said she feels blessed to have this opportunity and is looking forward to continuing to make Powhatan proud of its library. “I think that I am open to new ideas. I try to stay current on everything that is going on with libraries throughout the country so we can bring things to our patrons – programs, innovations, new technology,� Berriman said.

is by encouraging and developing collaborations with other individuals and groups. One of the library’s biggest accomplishments continues to be working with Powhatan County Public Schools to do a joint summer reading program, she said. “To my knowledge we are the only public library and public school division that runs a joint summer reading program in Virginia. That was a huge accomplishment on the state level,� Martin said. Other great collaborations have included working with the Powhatan Chamber

ognized summer reading program in cooperation with the school district, Fico said. “There is now an active teen program and a variety of programs and workshops for adults. The library has joined with the 4-H and state park staff to present environmental and nature programs. In the time Peggy has been here, we have gone from a sleepy little library to an energetic hub of the community,� Fico said. During Martin’s tenure, library services in all areas improved, but especially in

“I felt like I made a difference in Powhatan and loved my job. It is always good to leave a job when you are feeling really positive.� Peggy Martin director of Commerce, the Powhatan Cooperative Extension Office and local civic groups and service organizations, Martin said. These partnerships are not only a way to make great connections in the community but also are a way to be responsible with taxpayer dollars as everyone pools their resources, she added. “It’s really a big bang for your buck with the library. When you look at how much you are paying in taxes, the return on investment with libraries is huge. Even if you don’t even step foot in the building, you can get so many services online now,� Martin said. Martin’s ability to work with other entities in the county and develop programming has been impressive, said Joanne Fico, president of Powhatan’s Friends of the Library group. When she first became involved with the library in 2008, it was a quiet little library with a basic weekly story time and a minimal summer reading program. Today, through Martin’s efforts, the library offers a variety of children's programs throughout the year and does a rec-

regard to the expansion of programming, technology and outreach to the community, Stallworth said. The staff is doing better than they ever have to serve the community under her leadership, she added. “From children’s programming to seniors programming to special education program and the teens, we really have expanded our reach into the community, which is great,� Stallworth said. Martin and her husband sold their house in Powhatan and are retiring to Savannah, Georgia. She said she is most excited about getting to travel to New Zealand to see her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter.

A new beginning Martin will be greatly missed, but Fico said she is also looking forward to the continuation of this great work with Berriman, who is like minded in her approach to programming and community involvement at the library. Berriman’s position as a full-time librarian was created for the fiscal year

2017 budget cycle by the board of supervisors. Since being hired, she has shown her leadership skills and her dedication to programming, staff development and collection development, Stallworth said. Going forward, the board of trustees hopes Berriman will continue to expand the services of the library, focusing on enhancing technology, programming, and outreach into the community. “Seeing her in action and her interaction with the staff and patrons and what she is capable of is definitely one of the reasons we wanted to promote her,� Stallworth said. Berriman praised Martin for leaving the library in a strong position to move forward to do more outreach. The library has a strong staff, has grown exponentially, and has greatly increased its youth services, she said. All of that will continue, but Berriman also wants to continue to increase community outreach opportunities, she said. “We are going to do a series of pop up libraries. We would go out to different places in the community and offer a story time and craft. We will be able to demonstrate our services and register people for library cards,� Berriman said. “I think it’s important for us to get out in the community and meet our users where they are and to promote the library with folks who hadn’t thought to come to the library.� Other areas Berriman said she wanted to focus on included promoting the ebooks and e-magazines patrons can check out, how to use the library’s online system and even promoting an eco-friendly project that lets people receive their receipts electronically instead of on paper. Personally, one goal Berriman has set is to make sure the library continues to be a positive space where citizens want to spend their time. That goal is aided by the friendliness and respect patrons show to the library and to each other, she said. “There is a sense of community that you get when you are in here. They are respectful of each other and the space,� she said.

National Day of Prayer recognized in Powhatan

JETs place third in first time out competing

Contributed Report A local recognition of the National Day of Prayer will take place at 7 p.m. on Thursday, May 3. Everyone is invited to come out to join in united prayers for the national leaders of the nation, state officials, local leaders, schools, churches, the U.S.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

On March 24, four Junior Emergency Technicians (JETs) and one tired volunteer coordinator left Powhatan at 5:30 a.m. to compete in their first ever Junior Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) competition hosted in Roanoke by Virginia Volunteer Rescue Squad Association. There were about 500 member of the association from all over the state attending for the annual meeting and training. The local group competed against teams their senior from counties such as Washington and Loudon. The competition is designed for Junior Squads age 16 to 18. Several of the teams had certified EMTs on their squads. The Powhatan team consisted of two 14-year-olds and two 15-years-olds. The competition is scenario-based, where you are given a set of symptoms from “dispatch” and have to methodically work through the steps of identifying the victim’s issue and treat it properly. There are critical points that immediately disqualify you if they are done improperly or out of sequence, all of which falls within a 15-minute time limit. The team completed the task in eight minutes and 43 seconds and properly identified and treated the issue. A few small missed steps in collecting the victim’s history cost a few points. The final task is a five-question test with questions from the National EMT manual. They placed highest on the test only missing one question. Overall, the Powhatan JETs placed third and several judges commented on how impressed they were with the knowledge and poise the JET team showed in its first competition. A few board members invited them to the fall competition in September, where they do not plan on settling for third. Pictured is Tyler Cochran, Caleb Middleton, Lance Bradley and Trey Timberlake.

Westchester Farmers Market opens May 3 Contributed Report Westchester Farmers Market opens for the 2018 season at 4 p.m. on Thursday, May 3 at Westchester Commons Shopping Center’s Village Green. Senator Glen Sturtevant and Delegate Lee Ware will cut the ribbon, officially kicking off the season, which lasts through Oct. 4. Local farmers will be offering fresh berries, vegetables, eggs and meat weekly. Artisan vendors will have fresh bread, goat soap products, alpaca and goat fibers, and prepared food including Asian spring rolls, empanadas and kettle korn. WFM is a producer-only market, which means vendors can offer only what they

grow and/or make – no reselling. This gives customers the opportunity to speak directly to the farmers who grow their food. “Being a producer-only market means everything is seasonal, so don’t expect tomatoes until the end of June!” noted India Cox, Casselmonte Farm, and market volunteer. WFM currently has 19 vendors signed up and a variety of bands lined up. Vendors will be handing out free cloth grocery bags donated by its sponsor, Colonial Farm Credit. You can follow the market on its Facebook page, Instagram and at www.WestchesterFarmersMarketVA.com. (Westchester Commons Shopping Center is located at the juncture of Routes 288 and 60.)

July 2013, the first place he was asked to visit was not a school but the bus garage because of the condition it was in. “I was quite frankly shocked by the working conditions of our employees in that bus shop. Seeing them have to shuffle in and out different vehicles in order to get work done, it was just very inefficient. It wasn’t conducive to getting the work done for a good size transportation fleet,” he said. The new facility not only provides a better work environment for the

but we finally made it,” he said. Dr. Jason Tibbs, director of facilities, and Russell Wilson, who used to hold the position and is now a consultant, were the driving forces behind getting the transportation facility built, Tucker said. They brought it in on time and under budget, and that needs to be recognized, he added. He also praised the two boards for coming together to make it happen. School board chairman Joe Walters, District 4, said one of the first things he did when he was elected was tour the school division’s facilities. When he visited the bus garage, he noticed the difficult working conditions, but he also observed that the transportation employees work extremely hard to make sure the vehicles being operated by the county are safe and reliable for students and employees. The county tore down the old bus garage, which probably outlived the life expectancy of the people who built it or worked in it over the years, Walters said. “We stand in a facility today though that I am absolutely confident will outlive me. It will serve the citizens of this county for a very long time very well,” he said. After the dedication, visitors to the facility gathered out front for the ribbon cuttingand then attended a small reception in the training room.

development within those transition base districts would have the biggest impact on the appearance, functionality and development of the Route 60 corridor,” Pompei said. Removing permitted uses from the transition base districts will reduce by-right development options for property owners (including those redeveloping existing buildings) and increase the number of nonconforming uses countywide, he said. “These impacts will likely encourage property owners to rezone to one of the Village Growth Area Districts, which generally permit a wider range of uses and higher-density development,” he said. The planning commission held a public hearing on Jan. 16 and voted 4-1 in favor of passing it. County staff recommended approval of the amendment with a few changes. They recommended limiting the amendment to only R-C and C zoning; adding language to grandfather existing uses and structures, so that changes in use that do not result in a significant increase in use, do not trigger requiring a CUP or re-

zoning; consider programs and policies that will assist property owners interested in rezoning their properties to a Village Growth Area District and/or improving the appearance of existing commercial buildings; and consider down-zoning undeveloped R-C and C properties located outside of designated growth areas. “This approach, along with a holistic approach to reviewing and modifying the zoning standards, can help ensure that commercial development along Route 60 and throughout the county is high quality, functional and of lasting value,” Pompei said. He added that the planning commission is working on other efforts and considers this only one part of addressing the issue of smart growth in the county. David Williams, who represents District 1, clarified that the proposed suggestions are meant to address the problem of uncoordinated, small-scale commercial development along Route 60.

ages development along Route 60 in a way they can feel good about years down the road. This includes addressing traffic and architectural standards. Three people spoke during the public hearing on the ordinance change. A Powhatan property owner and the commercial real estate broker representing him both spoke against the ordinance because it would affect a deal to bring a restaurant chain to the county on the owner’s property near South Creek Shopping Center. The project has been in the works for a few years and a site plan was just submitted. A rezoning at this point would detrimentally affect the entire project, they said. A Powhatan citizen spoke in favor of the ordinance as he said it is a step in the right direction to bring the transition districts in compliance with the comprehensive plan and provide for review of development plans for appropriate fit within the plan guidelines. It changes the options available for development in some cases but would provide the oversight needed to give the people of Powhatan get what they want – controlled development

while maintaining the rural development of the county. Chair Carson Tucker, District 5, said he didn’t intend to vote on the ordinance that night and that he wanted to leave the public hearing open until the next meeting to give more residents the opportunity to offer input. Williams asked to hear the input of the planning commission and Chair Karin Carmack, who was in the audience, talked about the reasoning behind the members recommending the ordinance. The ordinance was intended to be something the supervisors “could vote on fairly expeditiously to secure better development along 60.” Basically, if the county reduces the number of by-right uses in the R-C and C districts, which have much lower standards applicants have to adhere to than the Village Residential and Village Center districts, it encourages applicants to come in for a rezoning, Carmack said. This in turn gives the county more oversight over the projects and leverage on the quality of development. As a result, the county will get an overall better quality development down Route 60, she added. “The bottom line is we want

to improve the way 60 looks… that is all we are trying to do is improve the way 60 looks. And this is, we felt, the least painful way to go about doing that,” she said. Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, also spoke about the desire to look at a long-term development or holistic approach for Powhatan instead of many piecemeal projects that might hamper further growth. Larry Nordvig, District 2, also talked about the lack of control of growth in the county and said he liked doing something that gets the county a step closer to taking back some of that control. Bill Melton, District 4, said improving standards is important but added he didn’t want to piecemeal the process. He asked for a workshop on the issue and wanted to see how Powhatan’s standards compare to its direct surrounding competitors. After a little more discussion, the board voted unanimously to defer the issue to a future issue so they could continue to examine it.

Prayer had power to bring people together By Laura McFarland News Editor

I

n all honesty, I don’t pray as much as I would like. At different points in my life, prayer has been different things. When I was scared or in trouble, it was a plea to He who knew all and had the power to help. When I was feeling happy or blessed, it was an opportunity to give thanks for those things and feelings. When I wanted to feel closer to God, it was a prayer of exultation and praise and surrender. I have prayed corporately in large groups, corporately in small groups, with a single other person and by myself. I have prayed out loud, in a whisper and in a shout. And yet, as an essential, daily part of my life, I know I do not pray nearly as much as I should. That is about my personal journey with God, but I didn’t want to go into this column sounding holier than thou or like I was lecturing people about how they should live out their faith, if they have it. With that said, prayer has been on my mind for a few reasons lately. The first was necessity. Even as I wrote this column, a young family member was facing a major medical procedure and my family mem-

bers were all praying for the least traumatic solution possible for her as well as a swift recovery. I don’t like spreading other people’s business, but I also believe that there can never be too many prayers. So, I put a vague description on my Facebook page and asked for prayers. Even if the people praying don’t know the situation, God does. Another family member, not questioning prayer itself but wondering about the nature of how we pray, wondered aloud to me if putting out calls like that is like saying we don’t believe the initial prayers or even a single prayer was enough. I don’t see it like that. It’s not like I believe we can join forces and bend people to our will if we get enough prayers. It isn’t like gathering signatures on a petition. To me it is a shared act of submission, of encouragement, of connection and of faith. I mentioned multiple things that got me thinking about this topic. The other, quite timely reason is that National Day of Prayer will be held Thursday. The National Day of Prayer was created in 1952 by a joint resolution of Congress, and signed into law by President Harry S. Truman, according to Nationaldayofprayer.org. In 1988, the law was unanimously amended by both the House and the Senate and signed into law by President Ronald Reagan on Thursday,

May 5, 1988, designating the first Thursday of May as a day of national prayer. Every president since 1952 has signed a National Day of Prayer proclamation. If you are looking for a local way to participate – not including all of the individual churches that might have events scheduled – there will be a community recognition of the day at 7 p.m. on May 3 at the War Memorial Cultural Arts Building. Organizers have invited people to join in united prayers for the leaders of the nation, state officials, local leaders, schools, churches, the U.S. Military, families, the media, and the things that are on your hearts. As the National Day of Prayer’s website reminds us, I do believe prayer brings people together, creates unity, builds bridges between opposing persons and even political parties, and reminds us that we are created in God's image and He desires for us to represent Him everywhere we go. And honestly, I truly believe that our county, state, nation and planet could use a little more building of bridges and reminders that the issues that divide us are not nearly as big or important as the common ground of wanting to help create a better world, which could unite us, if we let it.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

When a mobile version of the College Football Hall of Fame rolled into Goochland Courthouse almost two decades ago, there were only a handful of visitors who took the brief tour filled with historic mementos that exemplified spectacular moments in a long, illustrious history. That’s the first time I met Joe Fowler, Goochland’s recently named football coach. He was assuming a position that placed him at the top of a uneventful program. That’s not to say those first teams weren’t a hearty bunch of athletes who struggled to maintain pace with their traditional rivals. And those first few games didn’t go the way Fowler would have liked, but, even in those losing efforts, it was evident that the new coach had a plan, a long-term program designed to produce a lasting and solid foundation for what would follow. When I decided to assist my sports editor and cover Fowler’s team, it wasn’t my first rodeo covering high school athletics. But, novice would be a kind way to describe my skills, and I had much more experience as a sports photographer than a sideline reporter. I could tell you that I learned alongside Fowler’s first teams, but, truth be known, Joe dragged me along on the journey, always patient with my progress. There was an excitement in those years that is hard to describe. All associated with the program knew the Bulldogs were headed for great things. None of us were sure when that would happen. It culminated on a windy November day at James Madison University when the Bulldogs faced Giles County for the state championship. Fowler arrived at that contest with one of his best teams, a squad that included Brian Jordan, DJ Coles and John Hicks. Even with that barrage of talent, Giles presented a hefty challenge, and, late in the fourth quarter, held a small lead over the Bulldogs. We all held our breath as Jordan ran a quarterback keeper and scored, just barely, from a yard out, giving the Bulldogs the final edge and a state championship. In six short years, Fowler had claimed the top spot in the state and returned Goochland’s football program to a position of dominance that became the hallmark of the teams fielded in the following years. Throughout those 17 years, I’ve been there for an untold number of great moments, big wins and championships. I’ve also witnessed the most bitter of disappointments where little mistakes or bad calls ended a season. In the good times, and the bad, Fowler remained optimistic and always kept the game in proper perspective for his group of impressionable youths. “You’ll do a lot more important things in life than win a football game,” he often told his troops.

Former Goochland football coach Joe Fowler speaks to his team.

Joe’s insightful perspective and compassion hit home with my family when my son was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy. I was too devastated to share the news with anyone, but I did confide in Joe. That season was tough for me and he knew it, and I can’t count the time he gave me a supportive hug, or shared a tear in my moments of despair. His efforts didn’t stop with moral support, and Joe organized Goochland’s first Coach to Cure, a joint effort by The American Football Coaches Association and Parents Project for Muscular Dystrophy designed to raise money and awareness for kids with the disease. He included Jack as a member of his team, always placing his name in the #1 position on his roster. Each year, he welcomed Jack to his sidelines, the locker room and even allowed Jack to flip the coin to open the game. It remains a highlight in Jack’s annual schedule, and is a gesture that Fowler believes is equally beneficial to his team members. That act of kindness is only one example I’ve witnessed in those 17 years I’ve spent with Joe. While most of the parting articles highlight the well-known stars produced from those Bulldog squads, there were players who progressed to Division One football and excelled, or transferred talents to the baseball field. Somehow, I think Joe takes more pride in the number of good fathers, husbands, employees and friends he’s produced, for, in the end, it’s always been more about life and less about football for Fowler. I’m not sure how many more seasons I’ll be on that Goochland sideline, but I know it won’t be the same without Joe at the helm. Fortunately, his influence will be felt throughout those ranks and the legacy of Joe Fowler will live on in Goochland’s long history of athletics. But, maybe, his mark will better be reflected on the hundreds of student athletes whose lives he influenced, changed, and prepared for a lifetime of wins and losses.

S

ometimes, one run is all you need in a baseball game. Especially when your pitcher is on his game, like Powhatan’s Tommy Preston was against Albemarle on April 26. Preston pitched a complete game shutout as the Indians defeated the Patriots 1-0 in a Jefferson District matchup. “I feel pretty good,” he said after the win. “I always like to hog the innings and finish what I start. It feels great to do it.”

Preston allowed just five Albemarle hits and struck out five batters. He sat the Patriots batters down in order twice, in the second and the sixth innings. “I felt like I had good command of my fastball and slider,” he said. “I had a great defense behind me. I’m not a blow-it-by -you-type pitcher and I rely on my defense. They were awesome tonight and did a great job.” The Patriots did have runners advance well into scoring position, but either Preston or the Indians defense was able to shut down any threats of Albemarle scoring a run. In the third inning, Albemarle’s Ryan

Porter reached on a single and advance to second base with two outs, but a groundball to Brad Painter at shortstop ended that chance. Then, in the top of the fourth, Jonathan Miller of Albemarle worked a walk and then Connor Moriarty doubled to put runners on second and third with two outs. Preston struck out Alexandra Petroka to leave those two runners stranded. In the fifth inning, Preston issued a one-out walk to Thomas Fischer, who advanced to second two batters later after a single by Andrew Porter. But, Preston forced a ground ball to

Cody Willis at first to end that chance for the Patriots. “The defense was awesome,” Indians head baseball coach Gregg Conner said. “Tommy is going to throw ground balls. We did a great job of catching them.” In the seventh, Albemarle had the tying run 90 feet away once again, when Jackson Burns worked a walk, then pinch runner Ryan Haymans stole second and advanced to third after a fielder’s choice by Ryan Porter. But, Preston was able to get Andrew Porter into a groundball to Painter at see INDIANS, pg. 3B

BSH’s Clements will play rugby at Emory and Henry By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Wesley Clements (56), seen here last season, will move from football to rugby in college.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Wesley Clements went to Emory and Henry College looking to play football at the next level. While on the visit, Emory and Henry’s football coach introduced Clements to Tom O’Neill, the Wasps rugby club coach. While Clements has never played a minute of rugby, there was mutual interest for him to play rugby in college. “I gave Coach O’Neill my information and he called me and we talked for a while,” Clements said. “I decided that I wanted to do that more than football. So, that’s how it got started.”

That conversation led Clements to announce at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot on April 18 that he will be joining the Emory and Henry rugby team in college. Despite his unfamiliarity with the sport, Clements said that he is very excited about the opportunity. “It has a lot of similar aspects as football,” he said. “It includes a variety of what and who you have to play with and what you have to do. I like how you have to play the game. It interests me more than football.” At Emory and Henry College, rugby is a non-NCAA competing club sport, according to its website. see CLEMENTS, pg. 2B

Roundup: Indians boys soccer falls to Patriots By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

P

owhatan’s boys soccer team had chance after chance to get points on the board against the Albemarle Patriots on April 26. But, unfortunately none of those chances converted into goals as the Indians fell 2-0 to their Jefferson District opponent. “These teams are so good that we are fighting with,” Indians head coach Tim Cristian said. “I know we make these teams nervous. We should have made this even scarier for them.” Not only were the Indians facing an aggressive offense from the Patriots, but Powhatan was still reeling from a 3-2 overtime loss to Monticello on April 23. “They just clawed their way back in,” Cristian said. “We had chances with wide open goals where guys just missed it wide. We ran into a team doing what we usually do.” In that game, Mason Hubley scored two goals in the first half to put the Indians ahead of the Mustangs.

But, Monticello crawled back into that game and forced overtime with two goals in the second half and then another in overtime to win it. “We were dealing with it in the first half,” Cristian said of the loss to the Mustangs. “We all know we should have won that game. It was in our minds. They were constantly reminding each other to stop thinking about it. I think that it affected us that first half.” On April 26, the Patriots scored both of their goals in the first half. The first was in the 25th minute and the second was in the 35th minute. Powhatan’s chances started in the 41st minute after a direct kick attempt went straight to the Albemarle keeper when Patrick Peach was in prime position to make a play on the ball. Scotty Harrelson wore out the Patriots back line by making plays on the ball and moving it forward toward the Albemarle net. In the 46th and 48th minutes, Harrelson produced two quality chances, including one on a pass to

Peach, but the Indians were unable to convert. Peach and Harrelson are both senior captains and Cristian said that it has been really important to the team to have “such great performances” from the Powhatan senior captains. Peach, Korey Brown, Ethan Taylor and Harrelson all put the ball on the net in the first stages of the second half, but the shots were either offline, deflected by the Patriots defense, or saved by the Albemarle keeper. While the Indians were close throughout the game against the Patriots, it is a sign that the offense is getting to where they need to be and Cristian believes goals will follow. “I don’t think you can keep these players off the scoresheet for that long,” he said. “(Albemarle) hasn’t been scored on but twice this year and you can see why. I think if we can get back on the practice pitch and get some shots on goal, instead of being in a gymnasium, that’ll really help, too.” Cristian said that the performance of the team against the Patriots is continual proof that the Indians are getting better and better as the season progresses. “We’re learning some lessons that will help us in the tournament,” he said. “I’m very impressed with

who we’re playing against and that we can compete and get these chances. It’s a fun ride right now. I hope that they believe that we can have a chance to have a real game against these teams.”

SOFTBALL Powhatan’s softball team, ranked No. 2 in the area by the Richmond Times-Dispatch, continued its winning ways with a 13-2 win over Albemarle on April 26. Mason Basdikis was 2 for 4 with 3 RBIs for the Indians. Rileigh De-

pher Newport University and William and Mary, to name a few, also have teams that compete in the organization. Rugby is played over 80 minutes and has two teams of 15 players. During a rugby game, the ball can’t be passed forward, but players can run or kick the ball forward. Scoring in rugby is accomplished in four ways. When a player places the ball down in the opponent’s area behind the goal that is called a “try” and is worth five points. A conversion is a kick awarded to a team after the try and if it goes through the goal posts, it is worth two points. A penalty kick is worth three points as is a drop goal, which is a ball that is bounced at least once and then kicked. These concepts are just a taste of what Clements has already begun to learn

Weese was 3 for 4 with 3 RBIs and Tori Gilbert was 3 for 4 with 2 RBIs. On April 23, the Indians took down Orange 7-2. DeWeese was 2 for 3 with 4 RBIs in the win, while Madeline Peloke was 1 for 2 with an RBI. The Indians traveled to Orange for a rematch on May 1 and will host Western Albemarle on May 3. Powhatan will also travel to Albemarle on May 4.

about the game from his future teammates. “I’ve been watching film that coach has sent me,” he said. “I’ve read through the manuals that I was given. I have watched some games and have talked to some of the other players to try to get to know the game better.” His future teammates have given him mostly tips on how to get acclimated to the game of rugby, as Clements will get into more of the deep strategies of what the team is trying to accomplish once he arrives on campus in the fall. “They have the same (practice schedule) as football of three-a-days,” he said. “That’s when I’m really going to get in-depth about it. Right now, they are helping me get the fundamentals down, get to know the rules and what I have to do. Once I get up there, I’ll dive in depth into the sport.”

As far as the school itself, Clements said that he saw a lot of Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in his choice for college. “It’s a small, close-knit community,” he said. “It’s very beautiful up there. I really liked that aspect of it. It’s kind of off on its own, in the mountains. The people there are so nice, so wonderful to talk to and they know so much.” Clements said that he hopes to study business and economics with aspirations to go into pre-law. While Clements will not only say goodbye to Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, but also the game of football, he said he knows what he’ll remember most about his time as a Knight. “The people that I met and the stories that we’ll always have with each other,” he said of what he’ll remember most.

Conner said that he was pleased with how his pitcher performed against the Patriots. “Once Tommy gets through the first inning and settles in, he’s usually pretty good,” he said. “He threw very well.” At the plate for the Indians, it was one run in the bottom of the second that was able to win the game. “It was a great win,” Conner said. “It was a great team win. We had great pitching, great defense. We had some timely hitting. We always have

have 10 teams participating, including a team from Newport News. The tournament will kick off at 9 a.m. with the opening ceremonies. Powhatan Rotary Club will be volunteering to help with the tournament. Powhatan Special Olympics has a need for more volunteers to attend, watch and cheer on the athletes. Currently, the program is in need of certified umpires who would like to help out. There is no better way to support Special Olympics than by becoming ac-

tively involved in the local effort. The director of the Powhatan Recreation Department, Mary Anne Woodel, has committed her staff to this tournament. The tournament is a cooperative effort among Special Olympics, the county and our volunteers. We are looking forward to another great tournament to show Powhatan’s volunteer spirit.

close baseball games against Albemarle.” Willis led the second inning off with a double and was immediately brought home in when Jacob Beil put an offering into the outfield, which allowed Willis to score. The inning continued when Hunter Hopkins laid down a sacrifice bunt to advance Beil to second, but Nick Rini lined out to second base. Beil was doubled up at second base, ending the inning. In the bottom of the third inning, Painter and Matthew Church had back-to-back two-out singles to put two runners on. However, Logan Amiss flew out to left field to cut short that opportunity for Powhatan.

Willis doubled in the bottom of the fourth inning, but the next three Indians batters all either flew out or grounded out to strand Willis at second. Throughout the game, Powhatan was making solid contact against Albemarle, but more often than not it was right at the Patriots defenders. “We were hitting the ball right on the nose,” Conner said. “But, we only had the one (run) to show for it. Tonight, one was enough.” It was the second win in the week for Powhatan as the Indians defeated Orange 9-0 on April 23. Trenton Tiller pitched a one-hitter in that game against the Hornets. Church was 2 for 4 and

Painter was 2 for 3, each with one RBI for the Indians in the win. The Indians also had a game against Monticello

postponed on April 24. That game will now be played on May 7. Powhatan is now 8-2 on the season.

On May 1, Powhatan travelled to face Orange. On May 3, the Indians will host Western Albemarle.
