Powhatan honors heroes who gave everything

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – Powhatan County honored the men and women who served in the armed forces and paid the ultimate price for freedom with two special Memorial Day events held on Monday, May 27.

The day started off with a special remembrance ceremony at the War Me-

morial Cultural Arts and Community Center featuring local resident and historian William E. Boelt as the speaker.

The lives of all American service members, with a special emphasis on those who died during the Civil War, were honored at the 39th annual Huguenot Springs Cemetery Memorial Day Service. Ginger R. Stephens, president of the Virginia Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, was the

special guest speaker.

Memorial Day Remembrance About 70 people attended the special Memorial Day Remembrance ceremony hosted by local resident Ruth Boatwright and the Powhatan American Legion at the War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center.

The event featured Boelt giving an

overview of World War II history with some Powhatan County history added.

Also during the ceremony, Michael DeHart performed “Where the Stars and Stripes and Eagle Flies.” Greg Stein performed “Taps.”

Boatwright said Boelt, who grew up in Powhatan, was witness to so many important events in the county’s history.

Chris Rapp, shown here at the top of the Powhatan water tower, formerly served as director of public works for the county. He and 11 others were killed on May 31 in the mass shooting in Virginia Beach.

Friends remember Chris Rapp

By Laura McFarland News Editor

When friends and former colleagues talk about Christopher Kelly Rapp, the words used to describe him repeatedly portray a man you would want to know – kind, caring and thoughtful.

He cared for his co-workers, made friends everywhere he went, and was devoted to the love of his life – his wife Bessie.

On Friday, May 31, the lives of Rapp and 11 of his co-workers at the Virginia Beach Department of Public Works were ended too soon in the country’s largest mass shooting so far this year.

Police said the shooting spree left 12 victims dead as well as the shooter, identified Saturday as DeWayne Craddock, 40, an engineer in another department.

Four other people were injured, including a Virginia Beach Police officer.

Rapp, 54, was the shortest-tenured city employee killed in Friday’s massacre, having worked there for 11 months.

He worked for almost two years in Stafford County before his time in Virginia Beach, but prior to that, he spent about seven and a half years making an impact on Powhatan County as the director of public works.

People who worked with the engineer described his dedication to his job and to Powhatan from the start.

Former county administrator Carolyn Bishop hired Rapp in 2007 as Powhatan’s director of public works because he had excellent credentials and she thought he would do a good job for the county. But she also appreciated his very honest approach to his work.

“He was extremely ethical, and that is something I learned about him very, very quickly,” she said. “Our professional relasee RAPP, pg. 4

zoning district

By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A lawsuit was recently filed in Powhatan County Circuit Court challenging the board of supervisors’ decision to eliminate the Residential-Commercial (R-C) zoning district.

The lawsuit, which was filed on Friday, May 24, asserts that the members of the board of supervisors and the planning commission were “were unreasonable, arbitrary, and capricious” in their decisions to eliminate the R-C zoning district and thus downzone 503 parcels in the county.

The suit asks a judge to declare the board’s action unlawful, that the downzoning ordinance is null and void, and that the zoning district continue in effect as it existed prior to the board’s action.

The board of supervisors voted 3-2 in favor of eliminating the controversial zoning district at its meeting on April 24 in a decision that was the culmination of months of work by staff, the planning commission, the supervisors and the public.

David Williams, who represents District 1, Larry Nordvig, District 2, and Carson Tucker, District 5, voted for the elimination. Chairwoman Angie Cabell, District 3, and Bill Melton, District 4, voted against it.

The planning commission voted 3-1-1in favor of recommending approval of the amendment to eliminate R-C zoning on Nov. 7, 2018. Chairwoman Karin Carmack, who represents District 1, Bill Cox, District 4, and David Van Gelder, District 5, were in favor of it. Owen Walker, District 2, voted against it and Donna Moore, District 3, who was attending her first meeting, abstained.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of several entities and individuals: the Richmond Association of Realtors; Richard Cox; Edmund C. Burruss; Christy B. Elliott; Old Buckingham. L.L.C.; Robert A. Sorenson; East Coast Marketing Inc., trustee of Anderson Land Trust, Northside Two Land Trust, Hollywood Land Trust, and Rocky Oak Land Trust; and Linda Lee Pierce.

The R-C zoning district was created in 1984 as an economic development tool for the county. The issue of its effectiveness was discussed over many hours during see COUNTY, pg. 4

tionship grew into a friendship very quickly, and he and his wife are very dear to me.�

Bessie Rapp has been devastated by the sudden loss of her husband of 24 years, Bishop said. “She has really strong faith, and I do believe that is helping her get through this. But Chris was the love of her life.

They had this strong connection that was always inspirational to everyone around them. They loved each other, so in thinking about Bessie, that is the most heartbreaking part for me and probably everybody who knows them.�

Rapp and his wife were always on some type of adventure, Bishop said. They traveled the world together – something that was important to both of them.

When the couple purchased a house in Powhatan and invited friends over for a housewarming, Rapp was so proud and happy, she said. He loved Powhatan, and the couple kept their house even as they rented an apartment in Virginia Beach. “Powhatan is their home,� she said.

Bishop learned that Rapp used to walk up and down the driveway of the couple’s home in Powhatan playing bagpipes, which he loved. He recently joined Tidewater Pipes & Drums in Virginia Beach. The group posted on Facebook that members were heartbroken at the news of their bandmate’s death and described him as someone who was “quiet but had a passion for the pipes and Scottish culture.�

working for Powhatan County a few years before Rapp arrived but remembered when he started. From the beginning, Rapp was a thoughtful, intelligent man who brought his previous experience but wanted to learn about Powhatan and its needs. “He came in and learned the department, learned the county and was really a hard worker. I had to give it to him – he worked as many hours or more than anybody else and was always about the county’s business. I very much enjoyed working for him,� Piper said.

When you first met him, Rapp came across as quiet, but once you got to know him, he was thoughtful and personable, Piper said. “He very much cared about his employees and what was going on in their lives.

COUNTY Continued from pg. 1

previous board meetings and by two special work groups the supervisors appointed to try to find solutions. Most of the focus of the board’s decision to eliminate the zoning district stemmed from a desire for greater control and oversight over how the county develops. R-C zoning and other forms of by-right development have been used in the past to create what the board calls “piecemeal development.� This occurs when a developer comes in and starts a project using less stringent by-right requirements regarding approval by governing bodies to start a project and then rezones the rest of the project after an infrastructure is in place.

When asked about the lawsuit, county attorney Tom Lacheney said the county was only served with the suit on Tuesday, May 28 and had not yet had time to review it or formulate a reaction.

Lawsuit The lawsuit against the

supervisors asserts that their actions were inconsistent with the county’s 2010 Long-Range Comprehensive Plan as well as being “arbitrary and capricious,� and asks a judge to declare it null and void. The action negatively impacted the property rights of the affected private property owners, the suit sid, outlining instances of how the plaintiffs have been negatively affected. For instance, the Richmond Association of Realtors claimed the downzoning “caused immediate, direct and substantial damage to, among other things, the business and financial interests of its members and will continue to so damage, among other things, the business and financial interests of the members. Individual property owners such as Elliott and Burruss saw their parcels rezoned to Agriculture-10 (A-10), which negatively affects their value, the suit said. All of the plaintiffs’ properties were downzoned to A-10.

According to the April 24 board of supervisors packet, 321 parcels – almost 64 percent – were re-

zoned to A-10.

The lawsuit claims the downzoning violates the private property rights of the landowners and robs them of the “just compensation for the significant losses in fair market value� to their properties.

Given the original intent of R-C to foster economic development, the zoning district was always consistent with the comp plan, according to the suit.

Instead of businesses such as restaurants, gas stations, drug stores, shopping centers and other retail sales establishments, the A-10 zoning district permitted uses include animal and crop production, forestry and logging, dwellings, government offices, places of worship and recreational facilities.

The suit also refutes the supervisors’ argument that the board couldn’t utilize tools such as allowed by-right uses and conditional use permits instead of eliminating it altogether.

The lawsuit points out that when it is referring to the comprehensive plan, it means the 2010 plan. Although that document is

meant to be updated every five years, it has been under review since 2016, when the planning commission started looking at it.

When the board discussed eliminating the R-C zoning district, there was disagreement amongst members on which should come first – adopting the updated comp plan and then doing the elimination or approving the elimination and then adopting a plan that, suitably, does not mention R-C. After making these points, the plaintiffs ask a judge to declare the board’s actions null and void because it violates the vested rights of the landowners and reduces the fair market value of their parcels by $49,000 per acre (using county figures based on general assessments). It also asks to reinstate the R-C zoning district as it was and grant whatever relief the court deems appropriate.

The county has 21 days to file a response to the lawsuit, according to a summons issued by the circuit court.

Fabian’s ex-boyfriend, George W. Knisley IV, 41, of Carroll County, Maryland, is being held in Raleigh, North Carolina for first degree murder in relation to Broyles’ death, according to Virginia State Police spokeswoman Corinne Geller. Knisley was arrested later that night after he was involved in a pursuit with Raleigh police. He is awaiting extradition to Virginia, where additional charges are still pending.

Fabian’s body was found with a 2002 Ford F-350 work truck, which had been reported stolen out of Maryland on

May 23, in a wooded area off Route 138, less than a mile from Route 1. The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office and Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Appomattox Field Office spent the day processing the evidence recovered at the scene.

Multiple law enforcement agencies, including the sheriff’s offices in Powhatan and Cumberland counties, had been part of coordinated search efforts by air and on the ground to find Fabian since she was discovered missing.

Cumberland County Sheriff Darrell Hodges said that Fabian and Knisley were in a relationship when they lived in Maryland, but they broke up a few weeks ago. Fabian took out a protective order against Knisley in Maryland.

“Apparently he did not abide by that. She came down to stay for a little while with her parents to get away from him. She had only been down here about two and a half weeks,” Hodges said.

The incident began at approximately 3:30 a.m. on May 24, when the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call about a homicide occurring at a residence in the 200 block of Mount Airy Lane, Geller said in a news release.

Hodges said Knisley allegedly called another person who lives out of state to say what had happened. That person called their local 911 cen-

• A deputy responded to a larceny in the 2600 block of Wilton Square Place.

Tuesday, May 21 • A deputy responded to a larceny in the 2500 block of Walkers Ridge Circle.

Wednesday, May 22 • A deputy responded to a report of a snake bite in the 2000

ter, which reached out and alerted Cumberland, he said.

Upon arriving at the location, deputies found Broyles, but Fabian was missing, Hodges said. Based on the investigation so far, he does not believe she was killed there.

Hodges described Fabian and Broyles as friends who knew each other through their families and only recently reconnected.

The state police issued a Critically Missing Adult Alert for Fabian later that evening and extended it through May 29, well past the standard 12hour window, at the request of the Cumberland County Sheriff’s Office.

During the course of the investigation into the Cumberland County homicide, the South Hill Police Department received a 911 call at about 6:30 a.m. on May 24 from a woman who was walking out to her car at her residence and encountered a male subject, Geller said. The male, who fit Knisley’s description, threatened the woman at gunpoint and stole her 2013 Honda Civic. The man drove off in the Honda Civic. The woman was not injured.

Police captured Knisley in the early morning of Saturday, May 25 in Wake County after he allegedly carjacked a man in Raleigh of his 2009 Toyota Corolla outside a motel. He led Wake County sheriff’s deputies in a brief pursuit before crashing the car and being apprehended.

While in custody in North Carolina, Knisely attempted to escape, according to a news release from Eric Curry, public information officer for the Wake County Sheriff’s Office.

At about 1:45 p.m. on Monday, May 27, Knisley was in the process of being transported to the Wake County Detention Center, to face a fugitive warrant from Carroll County, Maryland. As the deputy was exiting the facility, Knisley complained that the right handcuff was too tight. As the deputy attempted to loosen the cuff, Knisley, pushed the deputy with his shoulder and fled.

An unidentified man assisted the deputy to detain Knisley before additional deputies could arrive. As Knisley was led to the patrol car, it was at that time that he admitted that he was a “murderer and didn’t want to live any longer,” according to the release.

Cumberland County will have to do a full extradition process to bring Knisley back to Virginia, Hodges said. In addition to the charges he faces in Virginia and North Carolina, Knisley is wanted for stealing a vehicle and weapons in Maryland.

“Due to the fact that he committed crimes in three states, it is a little more complicated than just going to another jurisdiction and picking somebody up,” Hodges said.

World War II because the nation is quickly losing the last of its surviving veterans from that war.

He also was mindful of the approaching 75th anniversary of D-Day, which will be remembered on Thursday, June 6.

He talked about many of the major events at the beginning of the war, such as Germany’s first invasion (Poland on Sept.

1, 1939 ), major battles such as the Battle of Britain or the Battle of the Atlantic or understanding of strategies such as the Blitzkrieg on London.

The role that the United Kingdom had in those early years of stemming the tide of the Nazis cannot be emphasized enough, Boelt said.

“England stood alone – defiant and alone – until other countries finally joined the war,” he said.

Throughout his speech, Boelt switched between talking about the war in Europe and in the Pacific. When he reached 1942 and the surrender of the Bataan Peninsula on the Philippine Island of Luzon, he spoke of the in-

famous 65-mile Bataan Death March. Col. Alexander Quintard from Powhatan survived the march where thousands of others did not. He was regular army and stationed in the Philippines at the time.

Quintard came home to Powhatan and lived in the Fine Creek area, Boelt said. He recalled the man inviting Boy Scouts to camp on his land along the James River.

In addition to touching on some of the major offensives in the war, Boelt spoke about moments that many people might not know about, such as the April 1943 assassination of Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamto, who planned the Pearl Harbor attack, in “Operation Vengeance.” He described the well planned and executed plan, which involved intercepting decoded radio transmissions with the admiral’s schedule and planning a strategic attack down to the minute.

“P-38 Lightnings from Guadalcanal would fly a 600-mile roundabout route, all over open water, and timed to attack just as Yamamoto’s bomber descended into Bougainville Island. The United States had calculated the intercept time to be 9:35; the P-38s arrived at 9:34, just as Yamamoto’s flight was descending into view,” he said.

Boelt ended his speech by talking about D-Day on June 6, 1944, which saw more than 156,000 British, Canadian, and American troops landing on a 50-mile stretch of beaches in the Normandy region of France. Of those, roughly 4,400 Allied soldiers are known to have perished on D-Day, including Andrew Adkins, who was born just off Judes Ferry Road in eastern Powhatan, Boelt said. He graduated from Powhatan High School in 1936 and was working at DuPont when he entered the service. He was a member of the 743rd Tank Battalion and was killed on DDay while sitting in the assistant driver’s seat of a

tank on Omaha Beach.

Adkins was buried in France but moved to the Old Powhatan Baptist Church Cemetery in 1947.

“They answered the call and we are grateful.

God bless America,” Boelt concluded.

Huguenot Springs Cemetery Like the history it seeks to uphold, the Huguenot Springs Cemetery Memorial Day Service is full of traditions those in attendance embrace every year. With the 2019 service, those traditions once again included participants singing “Carry me Back to Old Virginny”; a special tribute offered by the Virginia Scots Guard Pipes and Drums and the General W.C. Wickham Camp #2250 Color Guard; a recognition of veterans in attendance by the branch of the military in which they served; a laying of wreaths from various groups in Virginia and beyond; and a three cannon artillery salute offered by Knibb’s Battery, Artillery Regiment, 1st Division A.N.V. While the center of attention of the annual event is usually around the Civil War, keynote speaker Ginger Stephens focused her speech on the history of French Huguenots, who have strong ties in Powhatan and Chesterfield counties.

She talked about the French refugees being allowed to found a colony on the site of a village deserted by the Monacan Indians and settling a new village they called Manakintowne. In 1704, all adult males in the village were given the Oath of Naturalization, giving them the same rights as natural-born Englishmen.

The site of the original church built by the French settlers is located about a half mile from the cemetery and was called King William Parish by the House of Burgesses, Stephens said. While there are actually not many descendants of those original Huguenots that still

live in this area, the Manakin Episcopal Church still retains the name of the Huguenot village.

Stephens’ ancestors were among the French refugees who immigrated to Virginia in 1700 and were given the Oath of Naturalization.

The Huguenot settlers were the ones who discovered coal in Chesterfield County and commercial mining was underway by 1730, she said. Coal from this area supplied the Tredegar Iron Works, which made about 80 percent of the cannons used by the Confederate Army.

When Huguenot Springs Mining Company acquired the property that would be the future home of the Huguenot Springs Hotel, the owners were looking for coal but recognized the potential of the springs to be a summer retreat and spa.

During the Civil War, the hotel and cottages were converted into a Confederate Hospital, Stephens said. Ambulances would bring the wounded from Richmond to the former hotel where Chesterfield and Powhatan housewives served as nurses. About 250 soldiers died there from wounds or disease, and they are buried at Huguenot Spring Hospital Cemetery.

In 1915, the Powhatan United Daughters of the Confederacy Chapter erected a monument to the Confederate soldiers buried there.

“The ladies of the United Daughters of the Confederacy understood the importance of honoring the Confederate soldiers, including those who had died far from their homes,” she said.

“The sense of communal grief and mourning have been forgotten, but as descendants of those brave soldiers, we continue to remember them each year as we gather here in tribute to their honor, fidelity, and fortitude.”

Be thankful for those who lived, served and died

By Laura McFarland News Editor

“And they who for their country die shall fill an honored grave, for glory lights the soldier's tomb, and beauty weeps the brave.” – Joseph Rodman Drake, excerpt from “To the Defenders of New Orleans” So many eloquent words have been used to describe the sacrifice that soldiers make when they lay down their lives that it seems daunting to attempt to do so.

I was raised in a family that taught me to value those who serve in the different branches of the United States Armed Forces. My grandfather and uncle served, as did my middle sister. My brother-in-law is still serving today.

But even with that background, I will say that I came to work at the Powhatan Today five years ago with a spotty record when it came to participating in Memorial Day. I did what many people did – say a prayer, have a moment of silence, post something touching on Facebook. Then I went back to whatever I was doing at the time to relax. In a highly-demanding field that takes up a great deal of your time and energy, a three-day weekend often seems Heaven-sent.

But since coming to work for the Powhatan Today, my understanding of my time when it comes to Memorial Day and Veterans Day is not whether I will be attending local events but how many of them are being held. It has varied through the years.

This year, as in 2018, two events were held in Powhatan County on Memorial Day. In the morning, I attended the Memorial Day Remembrance ceremony at the War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center. In the afternoon, the 39th annual Huguenot Springs Cemetery Memorial Day Service was held.

War Memorial keynote speaker William E. Boelt gave a condensed history lesson of World War II. While most of his discussion was based on general facts about the war, he connected it to home in a meaningful way by mentioning two local young men who served. Col. Alexander Quintard of Powhatan was stationed in the Philippines and survived the 1942 Bataan Death March.

Andrew Adkins was sitting in the assistant driver’s seat of a tank on Omaha Beach when he was killed on June 6, 1944. As we honor the 75th anniversary of that hard-fought victory this week, remember the roughly 4,400 Allied soldiers who are known to have perished on D-Day, including Andrew Adkins.

Courage sent clergy to higher ground

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

As a child, I used to enjoy going to Washington, D.C., and taking in the many sights and attractions. One of my favorite places was the old Wax Museum near the Armory. It’s long gone now, and the historical displays are probably serving a second life as candles in some unknowing soul’s parlor.

The museum featured the regular wax fare of figures, including Jack the Ripper, President Roosevelt, Queen Elizabeth and Marilyn Monroe.

But it was the final stop on the tour that intrigued me the most. You could hear it before it actually appeared, as a portion of a ship tossed in artificially rough waters, obviously on its last leg before a trip to Davy Jones’ locker.

Four men remain on deck, one of them praying while the other holds a Rosary. Another one leans over the rail to give his life preserver to a sailor in the water. It was quite a dramatic scene and made a lasting impression on me.

When I grew older, I only remembered portions of the brief story that accompanied the scene at the museum, but I never forgot the image of those men calmly offering their life vests to save the lives of others.

I have since learned the entirety of their saga, and the enormity of their sacrifice.

The four chaplains served together with 900 other men on the Dorchester on an undisclosed mission in the North Atlantic in the winter of 1943.

More than a week had passed when a German submarine near Newfoundland torpedoed the ship.

The blast knocked out the ship’s electricity, and the four chaplains were instrumental in forming and directing an orderly evacuation from the darkened lower decks. They handed out life vests, and, when the supply ran out, took the ones off their backs and handed them to men preparing to abandon ship.

A survivor of the sinking, one of only about 200, said the last thing he saw before the ship sank beneath the waves was the four chaplains.

“The last thing I saw, the Four Chaplains were up there praying for the safety of the men,” Grady Clark recounted.

That’s exactly the way I remember the scene at the old museum.

Most of the men perished in the icy waters of the Atlantic, and the four chaplains became national heroes. They have a day designated in their honor, have been the focus of numerous television and written inquiries, and prompted the founding of the Four Chaplains Memorial Foundation.

It’s official mission “is to further the cause of unity without uniformity by encouraging goodwill and cooperation among all people.”

The words are a fitting tribute to George Fox, Alexander Goode, Clark Poling and John P. Washington, the four chaplains immortalized in the story.

The four chaplains are only a small portion of the veterans we celebrate and salute on Memorial Day. We stand in tribute to all those who have served and sacrificed for their country, hearts filled with eternal gratitude for the price they paid. There is no higher calling.

STUDENT NEWS Powhatan student among featured performers

Local residents initiated into Phi Kappa Phi

Three music majors, Mallory E. Dove, Bethany M. Newman and Carrie A. Smith presented a junior recital on March 16 in the Concert Hall in the Carter Center for Worship and Music at Bridgewater College.

Smith is the daughter of Michael and Amy Smith of Powhatan. For her flute recital, Smith performed three movements, “Allegretto Malincolico,” “Cantilena” and “Presto Giocoso,” from Sonate pour Flute et Piano by Francis Poulenc. She also performed two movements, “Adagio” and “Presto,” from Flute Sonata No. 6 in A Minor, “La Bouget,” by Michel Blavet, and a duet, Allegro and Minuetto for Two Flutes, by Ludwig van Beethoven, with Jillian C. Hensley, a sophomore music major, from Rhoadesville.

Smith studies flute under Dr. Vimari Colón-León, assistant professor of music at Bridgewater College. Lacey Johnson, instructor of music at the college, accompanied Smith on the piano.

Dove, Newman and Smith are members of the Symphonic Band, the Jazz Ensemble and the Handbell Choir. All three are also members of the National Association for Music Educators (NAfME). Newman and Smith serve as codirectors of the Pep Band.

Smith is also a member of the Flute Choir.

Bridgewater College is a private, four-year liberal arts college located in the Central Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Founded in 1880, it was the state’s first private, coeducational college. Today, Bridgewater College is home to nearly 1,900 undergraduate students.

A local resident was among the students recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective all-discipline collegiate honor society.

Molly Mancini of Moseley was initiated at Longwood University. She is among approximately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year. Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership.

Graduate students in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the Society has chapters on more than 300 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is "To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others."

Huguenot Springs Cemetery guest speaker Ginger Stephens had a broad topic she focused on during the ceremony – the history of French Huguenots in the area – but also made sure to show the connection to the hotel-turned-hospital that sheltered so many wounded and the 250 men buried in the cemetery during the Civil War. While the events are dissimilar in many ways, they are always united in their desire to offer their heartfelt appreciation to those who put service above self. And at both ceremonies, when the trumpet began the first notes of “Taps,” everything else fell away as the song itself seemed to mourn the lost, its notes sliding down like tears on the face of a devastated loved one trying to be strong.

No matter what George S. Patton Jr. said, I don’t think it is foolish or wrong to mourn the men and women who died. I grieve for the futures unknown, the potential unrealized, and the loved ones left behind.

On the other hand, I do agree with him that “we should thank God that such men lived.”

Local residents earn degree from WGU Four local residents recently earned a degree from Western Governors University (WGU).

Catherine Biringer of Powhatan earned her Bachelor of Science in nursing.

Crystal Escalet of Powhatan earned her Bachelor of Sci-

ence in IT - security emphasis.

Jennifer Shoemaker of Powhatan earned her Bachelor of Science in nursing.

Joanna Bell of Powhatan earned her Bachelor of Science in nursing.

The online, nonprofit university held its 67th (Austin, Texas), 68th (Washington, DC), 69th (Indianapolis, Indiana), and 70th (Orlando, Florida) commencement ceremonies last fall and earlier this year to celebrate the recent graduation of nearly 22,000 students from across the country.

WGU has recognized 12,920 undergraduate and 8,885 graduate degree recipients, who have completed their degrees since June 1, 2018.

Their areas of study include business, K-12 education, information technology, and health professions, including nursing. The average time to graduation for those earning a bachelor's degree was 2 years, 5 months, while the average time to degree for graduate programs was one year, seven months. The average age for those who graduated is 38 years old.

WGU pioneered competencybased education, which measures learning rather than time spent in class. Designed to meet the needs of working adults, competency-based education enables students to study and learn on their own schedules with individualized, oneto-one faculty support. They complete courses as soon as they demonstrate that they have mastered the subject matter, allowing them to move quickly through material they already know so they can allocate time for what they still need to learn. As a result, many WGU students are able to accelerate their studies, saving both time and - under WGU's flat-rate tuition model - money. see STUDENT NEWS, pg. 8

Track stars compete at states Staff Report

L

YNCHBURG – Competing at Osborne Stadium in the picturesque Liberty University athletic complex, standout athletes from Powhatan Track and Field’s boys and girls teams placed in the Class 4 outdoor state competition held May 31 and June 1.

Anthony Greenhow led Powhatan with placements of third and fourth in the 100m dash and 200m dash, respectively. The sophomore ran a third-place time of 11.13 seconds in the 100m dash - a narrow .05 seconds back of the winning time posted by Blacksburg senior Tiquest Terry (11.08). Greenhow then ran the 200m dash in a fourth-place time of 22.25 seconds.

Powhatan junior Arnell Jackson, in addition to running in the girls’ 4x100m relay, also competed in the girls’ long jump, in which she placed fourth (17’3.50”).

POWHATAN – When Robbie Kurtz started hitting home runs around fifth grade in the Huguenot Little League – and also when he and his teammates won the local World Series – he saw that he was pretty good at the game of baseball. Years later, the dual-sport athlete and Blessed Sacrament Huguenot junior has earned First Team honors on the 2019 Division III VISAA Baseball All-State Team.

“It’s great just knowing all the hard work paid off,” Robbie said, “and just for the school – giving [Blessed Sacrament Huguenot] recognition, because we’re a KURTZ smaller school.

And it gives you hope for the future – hopefully more to come. Hopefully the team does better next year.”

Robbie delivered a standout effort in 2019 to help his BSH baseball team achieve 10 wins in a season for the first time since 2012.

“It’s been great, because in the past years, I’ve had fun, but there hadn’t been much wins,” Robbie said. “It’s good to get some wins – and just being a part of the team.”

Robbie, who is from Midlothian, first got into baseball around fourth grade as he had friends who played; he started out in Little League and kept competing from there.

He started going to Blessed Sacrament Huguenot in sixth grade.

Boys tennis ends historic year in states Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor YORKTOWN – For Powhatan Boys Tennis on Friday afternoon at Grafton High School, a historic season came to an end.

While they fell to Grafton 5-0 in the state quarterfinals, the Indians were taking on their first state tournament in program history. Powhatan’s six competitors in the singles matches were no. 1 Brendan Pfab, no. 2 Jacob Pfab, no. 3 Ryan Steinruck, no. 4 Connor Lindhjem, no. 5 Ben Wojcicki

“Every coach knows when they have a special team,” Kelley said, having added earlier: “To have a team of guys at this age that’s willing to listen is incredible.”

It took a lot of effort for the players to get here, he noted.

“When we first came together as a team, we were a bunch of individuals, but then, all of a sudden, everything just started clicking,” Kelley said. “The leadership see TENNIS, pg. 2B

Returners to next year’s group should include juniors Michael Washburn and Ryan Steinruck, as well as Jacob Pfab, who impressed in his no. 2 singles match by winning his first set in a tight battle with his Grafton opponent. The freshman reached the tiebreaker set by battling to a 6-6 draw with

the help of hard-hit, fast-travelling returns. His hustle shone through in one particularly dash to the ball, in which he skidded to a halt while firing the incoming shot back over the net in time, and the opponent returned Pfab’s rushing strike too deep, tipping the first-set lead to Pfab at 6-5. He went on to win the set on a dominant tiebreaker game of 7-1, with his opponent returning most of his shots – including a second serve – either into the net or outside of the court. Pfab also delivered one deep return that landed over his opponent and inside the

baseline for a point in the second set.

Kelley has asked the players to establish a legacy: to pass it on, and to convince the right personality – a person who has good hustle, obedience and discipline, and is willing to listen – to come out for the team.

Young, talented team’s season concludes

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Rileigh De Weese blasted a two-run homer out of the park to help Powhatan Softball challenge hosting Hanover midway through the Region 4B semifinals, but the Hawks pulled away over the second half of the game to win 6-2 and advance to both the regional final and Class 4 state tournament on May 28.

The Hawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead after the first inning, courtesy of runs scored by top-of-the-lineup batters Leslie Currie and Jessica Russell and an RBI from Savannah Thorne. Bella Pastore extended her team’s advantage on her solo blast over the center field fence in the second.

But after Hanover pitcher Ellen Palya no-hit Powhatan’s rotation once, leadoff batter Briana Hensley in the fourth inning broke her Indians’ drought on a well-placed bunt, and after Lindsey Elam reached on Hensley going out on a 5-4 play at second base, UCONN commit De Weese smashed a one-out,

two-run homer over the right field wall to slash Hanover’s lead down to 1.

Hits by Kayla Davis and Madeline Peloke in the same inning put them on the corners of the bases against 2 outs, but Palya struck out the next batter to strand the tying and go-ahead runs.

The Hawks regained their 3-run cushion with the help of errors in the bottom of the fourth. De Weese on her next at-bat slammed a double to the right field fence in the sixth, but the pinch runner was left on second as the Hawks, sparked by Addison Walter snatching the lineout at second base, retired three straight batters.

Lindhjem to play tennis for Mary Baldwin

By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Connor Lindhjem had never picked up a tennis racket until his freshman year at Powhatan High School.

Now, the Powhatan senior is embracing the opportunity to continue playing tennis at the collegiate level as part of Mary Baldwin’s new NCAA team.

“As a tennis player I’ve learned so much,” Lindhjem said. “To come all this way is really exciting for me, and I really appreciate everyone that’s been around and I’ve…just learned a lot about myself, how to be competitive in a good way and not bring down myself and the people around me. Just built a lot of character, I would say.”

Lindhjem met the coach during a visit to Mary NICK VANDELOECHT/POWHATAN TODAY Baldwin, and at the time they only had about 2 Powhatan Boys Tennis’ Connor Lindhjem returns the ball players on the team. in the Friday, May 31 state quarterfinals match at Grafton “He was like: Yeah, if you want to play, you’re High School.

in!” Lindhjem recalled the coach saying, “so I was like, ‘Sweet!’ I was really excited to play, he’s a super-nice guy – I’m really excited for it.”

The small Mary Baldwin team started as a club and will be beginning its first varsity season once Lindhjem arrives for his freshman year.

“It’ll be fun to…really be one of the first ones in there with just kind of a few guys to get tight with,” Lindhjem said. “I’m really looking forward to being the start of something new.”

From his Powhatan coaches and teammates, Lindhjem learned how to enjoy the game - and really how just to enjoy anything, no matter the outcome.

“Especially Brendan [Pfab], playing doubles with him, it meant a lot – I really enjoyed it, he taught me a lot about the sport and just how to play the sport mentally and physically,” Lindhjem said.

With his new team on the college level, Lindhjem hopes to become a better person both on and off of the tennis court - and to create memories that he’ll have forever.

“I love the school, love the baseball program, Coach [James] Poore, he’s really built a good program here,” Robbie said. “It’s just fun to be around and fun to play.”

Robbie shined as a powerhouse in the field, at the plate and also on the mound for the Knights this season. He batted a stellar .500 with 29 hits, 30 RBIs, 19 runs scored, 5 doubles, 3 triples, 14 walks and 9 stolen bases.

He’s comfortable at short stop, and his lockdown play in the infield has been bolstered by continuously working at the position, having confidence and focusing in on every play. He’s also been a go-to

pitcher in relief situations, with a strong selection of pitches, namely his fastball and curve ball, aiding him on the mound.

Robbie described himself as a low-ball hitter, but he also focuses on trying not to get himself out, as well as on being patient at the plate.

Before baseball, Robbie started playing basketball in kindergarten, and he’s excelled on the hardwood as a versatile player and leading force for the Knights. He’s currently looking to play either basketball or baseball in college.

“It’s been great,” he said of being a dual-sport athlete. “I just love playing sports in general and… being a part of the school and representing the school is really cool here.”
