50 years later - local residents remember first moon landing Editor’s note: July 20, 2019, marks the 50th anniversary of Apollo 11 landing on the moon and the first humans in history walking on its surface. This was a historic moment not only for the United States but for all of mankind. In honor of this momentous occasion, the Powhatan Today asked some of our local residents to share their memories of that fateful day in 1969.
Fran Carleton, then age 20 On July 20, 1969, I turned 20 years old! I was a newlywed in Hanau, Germany living off base with my husband, Bub Carleton. The radio broadcast of the moon landing came on very late at night. I went to bed because I was tired. He stayed up and
listened to the whole thing! And he never let me forget it!
Bub Carleton, then age 24 I remember thinking how amazing it was to actually listen to this moon landing. A first time in history event and I was listening to it happen as it happened, step by step! It was history being made and I was a witness to it. I remember thinking that I could tell my children about Neil Armstrong stepping on to the moon. Because my wife had been CONTRIBUTED C ONTRIBUTED PHOTO sleeping, I told her about it the next Fran and Bub Carleton were morning. And I reminded her evGRAPHIC ILLUSTRATION BY DENINE D’ANGELO/POWHATAN TODAY newlyweds living in Germany. ery chance that I could get that she July 20, 2019 will mark the 50th anniversary of Bub listened to the landing on slept through history being made! the radio, but Fran fell asleep.

Relay for Life reaches $70,000 fundraising goal to fight cancer By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – When Powhatan Relay for Life committee chair Carol Beach looked at the current fundraising total for the group last week, she got a shock. Beach said she pulled up the fundraising app on Monday, July 8 and saw that the group’s total was only a few hundred dollars away from its fundraising goal of $70,000. Excited, she immediately took to social media. “So I put a push out on Facebook and Instagram that we were so close. We only needed a few hundred dollars. If you hadn’t made a donation and still wanted to, now was the time to do it. Within an hour and a half we hit our goal and then some,” she said, adding that the total was $70,208 as see RELAY, pg. 4

Traveling exhibit at library focuses on new Virginians Contributed Report Powhatan County Public Library is pleased to host New Virginians: 1619–2019 & Beyond, a Library of Virginia exhibition through Aug. 9. Recent estimates place the number of foreign-born Virginians at just under one million, or about one in every eight Virginians. What will this mean, and what does it already mean, for public education, electoral politics, local economies, and a social fabric that has long been held together by a sense of shared history? The composite portrait of Virginia is becoming more complex, challenging an older, simpler understanding of what it means to be a Virginian. The challenge and opportunity is to reconsider what kind of place Virginia is and what kind of place it should be—or can be. Whether our roots in the state go back 10,000 years, 10 generations, or 10 weeks, we must create the map together. The exhibit explores the historical and continuous journey toward the ideals of America and intends to foster an honest and serious discussion about diversity and the challenges of blended cultures.

Produced jointly by the Library of Virginia and Virginia Humanities — with support from American Evolution, 2019 Commemoration — the exhibition highlights the changing demographics of the commonwealth through a series of interviews with first-generation immigrants and refugees who arrived in Virginia after 1976. According to Powhatan County Public Library Director, Whitney Berriman, “our goal was to host the exhibit during the summer break so library visitors of all ages, including Powhatan students and their families, would have an opportunity to experience the exhibit. In light of recent immigration-related events and as we approach the 2020 federal census, it is timely and hopefully, it will be thought-provoking. We are so fortunate to have this opportunity to offer the exhibit locally.” New Virginians uses excerpts from personal conversations, conducted by David Bearinger and filmed by Pat Jarrett, both with Virginia Humanities, to explore the complexity of the immigrant and refugee experience. Topics include the circumstances
that led these men and women (and children or families) to leave their homes; their arrival in Virginia; the challenges and obstacles that they faced or overcame; questions about identity, assimilation, language and culture; and what it means to be a Virginian (and an American). The people interviewed represent a wide range of personal backgrounds, experience, age, and countries of origin—Asia, Africa, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East. Bearinger, director of grants and programs at Virginia Humanities, noted that if he “had to choose just one word to describe the essence of these conversations, the place where all of them converge, that word would be “gratitude:” for the opportunities, freedom, and protections—the relative safety—this country offers.” Clips are available through the Library of Virginia’s education website, www.edu.lva.virginia.gov/ changemakers. Complete unedited interviews are available through Virginia Humanities’ YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/ playlist?list=PLGS4_ B5HRxAyD4EPIcIbr-

MOON Continued from pg. 1
Cordelia Davis, then age 20 I had one small childd and was living in Powhatan. I was probably canning vegetables. To me it was so far beyond our imagination of what we thought we could do. We had a television. It was a little small black and white te one. We had seen space movies, but to see it actually unfold in front of you is an awesome experience. I watched it with my family.
Laura Graham, then age 12 I remember my parents keeping us up late and making sure we were awake and alert to see Neil Armstrong step onto the moon and hear him make his famous statement. From then on, I have had a fascination with space. I was every bit as interested in all of the following moon landings. Decades later, as a direct result of the moon landings inspiring me, I decided to dedicate my volunteer hours to fighting light pollution to preserve the night sky. Though I mostly failed in Powhatan County, I still love to look at the stars and dream of mankind returning.
My husband and I were we newlyweds and on a vvery limited budget. We were living in Maryland wer at tthe time of the moon landing. We were in our land first apartment after being married in June. We rented marr a TV to watch it. I even made brownies. He mad watched it, and I slept watc through it! Looking forthro CONTRIBUTED PHOTO ward to seeing the 50th anniversary tapes and noting Laura Lemmon was 11 what I missed. years old at the time of
Elwood Yates, then age 39 That was a Nixon year. We were in the war. So many good things had been happening. That was the first year of the 747, the new plane that came out. Everybody was so excited about that. Over in France, they had come out with that Supersonic jet. All those big things were happening. When the moon landing came it was al-
with some of the stuff with NASA – the Saturn IV rockets. I know I thought it was really cool that had been done. I probably didn’t comprehend how big of a deal it was. I just thought it was really cool that they were walking on the moon. Being able to pipe a signal that far back to the earth was a pretty big deal. I look back on my life and it is one of the few things I can remember reallyy clearly. y
the first moon landing. She recalled all of her neighbors watching the event.
Laura Lemmon, then age 11 Growing up in a suburb in Cleveland, I remember the excitement among the kids in the neighborhood. Our houses were close together and the windows were open on a warm summer night, so we could hear everyone cheering and talking during and after the moon walk. My friends and I had a sleepover in the neighbor's screened porch a night or two later. We girls spent a lot of time with our little plastic binoculars looking at the moon to see if we could see the space capsule.

PET of the WEEK Meet Kip! He is a young adult male with long orange fur. Kip is definitely a Powhatan success story! He has made such great progress since he first arrived at PAC. He was absolutely terrified of humans and after hard work and patience he has really come around and is an awesome, great cat! He is very friendly and cute and has really started to show off his spunky side. You’ll know when he’s really comfy when you catch him lying on his back with all four paws in the air. He is a favorite here at the shelter and we really hope that he finds the loving forever home that he deserves! If Kip is not the one for you, we have tons of other cats and kittens available for adoption! If interested, please give us a call at 804-598-5672 to schedule a meet and great!

We were working on a production, facing the usual challenges: unfinished set, unlearned lines, a thousand conflicts, and the inability to pull kids from other activities to work on the show. A starving actor with myriad jobs, I was desperate for help and rapidly going crazy. I couldn’t find my boss anywhere, and he was the only one with the authority to get extra help or rearrange schedules. We had only one

From the Kennedy Space Flight Center (KSC) control room, Apollo Program Director Lieutenant General Samuel C. Phillips monitors pre-launch activities for Apollo 11. The Apollo 11 mission, the first lunar landing mission, launched from the KSC in Florida via the Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC) developed Saturn V launch vehicle on July 16, 1969, and safely returned to Earth on July 24, 1969. Aboard the space craft were astronauts Neil A. Armstrong, commander; Michael Collins, Command Module (CM) pilot; and Edwin E. (Buzz) Aldrin Jr., Lunar Module (LM) pilot. The CM, “Columbia�, piloted by Collins, remained in a parking orbit around the Moon while the LM, “Eagle’’, carrying Armstrong and Aldrin, landed on the moon. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong was the first human to ever stand on the lunar surface, followed by Aldrin.
Mary Harrison, then age 23 Roy and I were newlyweds and newcomers to Richmond. The four families in our apartment building enjoyed each other and so Roy and I hosted a moon landing party! We eight adults watched the clock and TV. When the programming began, the grainy black and white picture gradually became clearer. None of us spoke but intensely watched, almost holding our breath, unsure of what might happen to the module until Armstrong said, “One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind!� We all exhaled, clapped and exclaimed “We did it!� A few more excited exchanges and then we all agreed we would never forget!

week until the show. Panic was an understatement! At last I found him—in front of the television in the camp owners’ living room—watching the moon landing! He was furious at me for interrupting him.
Jane Christiansen, then age 18 I had just graduated from high school in 1969 and was living in Front Royal. I had gone to Virginia Tech for a 4-H conference. I received an award for achievement and went to Washington, D.C. to meet with our congressman, John Marsh Jr. They were all having moon breakfasts. He told our leader to meet in his office to watch the launch. We finished the course on Friday and Sunday was when the landing happened. I was home. We had a TV that my dad got because he was recovering from a surgery. For us on the East Coast, we had supper and then watched the landing. It was like a culmination from seeing Shepard going up and coming down and the others that had gone before.
most expected. Kennedy had said we were going to go to the moon and that was almost the anticlimax. I had taken both my sons to a model airplane meet. We all came back from that meeting and looked at it and enjoyed it. To me it wasn’t that big a deal because things were just popping. It was extraordinary but it was expected. It was a booming time.
Bill Yates, then age 12 I have a brother who is two years older than me and he was into model airplane building and flying. My father, brother and I went to Pennsylvania for a model airplane meet. After the completion of that, we drove back to Powhatan on Sunday evening. We came home and I remember watching it on TV with the typical poor TV signal. I do remember my father, brother and I sat there and watched it. That was a big deal. My dad said, “How do you remember that?� I said, “I was 12 years old. That’s a pretty big deal landing on the moon.� I used to keep up
Olander Fleming, then age 12 It was kind of a cool day because I had put together a model of the Apollo 11. My dad gave me a little shoebox with sand in and I set the spaceship in it and watched when he said “One giant step for mankind.� I thought it was pretty cool. We had black and white TV – three channels, and it was neat. The funny thing was, everybody said it was a fake. My dad even said they landed probably in Arizona because there was no way you can get to the moon. That was the big thing in our house – was it fake or was it not? I really think they went. We would look out at night to see if we could see anything. As a child, everybody said the moon was made of cheese. That was a goofy thing.

of Wednesday, July 10. For Beach and other volunteers with the local group, it wasn’t just about meeting a single goal. Prior to this milestone, it had been several years since the Powhatan chapter had met its fundraising goal, Beach said. The group lowered the goal significantly in the last few years, starting from $99,000 in 2014 and decreasing steadily, she said. But despite the hard work and dedication of so many volunteers, they still struggled to meet the bar they had set for themselves. “We have backed off quite a bit in the last few years. With the Leukemia Society and Susan G. Komen and all of those other fundraisers that take place, Relay wasn’t the only fundraiser out there. It is still the largest fundraising event for cancer research, but it is not the only one,� Beach said. The fiscal year that ends for the group this

month has been successful, including almost $6,000 taken in on the day of the county’s Relay event, she said. Attendance was lower than usual at the event on June 1 inside at Powhatan High School, but that didn’t dampen the spirit or the determination of those who came. Beach is stepping down as chair of the committee and said it felt wonderful to end on this fundraising success. She hopes the group can build on the momentum and positive feelings of achieving its goal this year as it prepares to start a new season. “I felt that by backing off, we would attain it and that might push us forward with a little more momentum going into next year having met a goal,� she said. Overall, Beach said the group overcame the challenge about previously not meeting its goals and made some adjustments to fundraising techniques. Many of the teams also put on

wonderful events throughout the year that the community supported. In particular, the group’s Survivor Dinner this year was one of the best they have had, both with the great turnout and the opportunity for survivors to share their stories, Beach said. “It really connected us as a community – especially the cancer survivors, who said knowing they weren’t alone and weren’t the only one who had been through it was nice to know,� she said. “Hearing other people’s stories puts the drive back in us of why we do it – we do it because of the survivors. We want to continue to have them. ACS says celebrate more birthdays. That is what we want to happen, so we just keep pushing forward.� To donate to the group’s fundraising efforts, visit http://www.relayforlife.org/powhatanva.

Donated masks offer chance to save pets By Laura McFarland News Editor
For as long as I can remember, my mother has gravitated toward owning dogs. When I was a child, she loved Dachshunds. In later years – and to this day – her dog of choice is Yorkshire Terriers. I won’t go so far as to say they are like her children – although she might – but she cares for them deeply. When I was a teenager growing up in Houston, Texas, I remember rushing downstairs one night to the sound of my mother’s heart-wrenching sobs. It seems her beloved Yorkie, Whisp of Joy, had somehow fallen into the pool and drowned. My stepdad tried to give the dog CPR to resuscitate her, but it was too late. She was already gone. Mom was heartbroken. She was in the habit of taking Joy everywhere she was allowed and doted on her completely. We all cared for her, but for my mom they
had a special connection. I don’t think she has ever opened herself to loving a dog that much since then because it was such a painful loss. The image of my stepdad leaning over that tiny dog and trying to breathe life back into her has always stuck with me. It was the first image that popped into my head when I covered a donation of pet oxygen mask kits to Powhatan County Fire and Rescue. Invisible Fence Brand of Richmond made the donation on July 10 as part of its ongoing effort to reduce the number of pets killed or injured in house fires each year. The company’s Project Breathe Program has donated more than 8,000 kits to fire departments throughout the U.S. and Canada. The kits contain three sizes of oxygen masks to fit a variety of animal types and sizes. It also includes a leash to hold them in place for the protection of the firefighter/EMTs and instructions on how to use them. When he presented the masks to the fire and rescue department, Steve Monaghan, vice president of mar-
keting for Invisible Fence, talked about the heartbreak pet owners feel when, on top of losing their worldly possessions, they lose a beloved dog, cat, rabbit, iguana, groundhog, or some other pet. “If someone loses their house and all their possessions, the fact that their pets are alive as well as their own lives being saved means a lot,” he said. I completely agree. Joy didn’t die in a fire, but her death was just as sudden and devastating to my mom as I imagine it has been to so many pet owners whose companions were caught in a fire or suffered too much smoke inhalation and could not be saved. I have seen that grief and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone, so I am ecstatic that local firefighter/EMTs have these extra tools to help in the effort to keep the residents of Powhatan – no matter how many legs they walk on – safer.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Survey shows Powhatan has a lot going for it Dear Editor, Those of us who participate in government – and those who just watch – are often overwhelmed by the seemingly continuous bombardment of points of view, problems, and differences of opinion. Our form of government prides itself on the thesis-antithesis-synthesis process of different beliefs and preferences fighting for dominance. There is so much argument that I fear we lose sight of the wonders around us; that we fail to balance our ongoing assessments of our culture and environment between these things that might not be perfect and those things that deserve to be contemplated with pleasure or even delight. This realization struck me forcefully recently when a friend shared the results of a nationwide Best Places survey which attempted to rank all 2,800 or so counties in the U.S. against a set of criteria measuring quality-of-life issues. The assessment also rates and ranks 93 counties in Virginia. I want to share some of those results – the good and not-so-good – about Powhatan as a corrective of our drift (mine included) toward negativity. I will not take space here to analyze the validity of the company’s process of analysis. The name of the company is Niche and you can go online to see the whole survey at www. niche.com and decide for yourself on the legitimacy of the report. To summarize, out of about 2,800 counties evaluated by Niche, here are some of Powhatan’s ratings:
National Best Counties for Families in America: 69 of 2,771; Counties with the Best Public Schools in America: 111 of 2,770; Best Counties to Live in America: 169 of 2,773; Best Counties to Buy a House in America: 183 of 2,773; Best Counties for Retirees in America: 440 of 2,767; Best Counties for Outdoor Activities in America: 480 of 2,773; Healthiest Counties in America: 804 of 2,773; Best Counties for Young Professionals in America: 1,465 of 2,773;
Virginia Best Counties to Buy a House in Virginia: 4 of 93;
Counties with the Best Public Schools in Virginia: 9 of 92; Best Counties for Families in Virginia: 9 of 91; Best Counties for Outdoor Activities in Virginia: 12 of 93; Best Counties to Live in Virginia: 15 of 93; Best Counties for Young Professionals in Virginia: 25 of 93; Healthiest Counties in Virginia: 32 of 93: Best Counties for Retirees in Virginia: 33 of 92. Whether you are surprised by this data or not, it is data that adds to our ongoing effort—the efforts of every one of us—to create and maintain Powhatan’s quality-of-life. Access to such data, among much other information, rightly informs our strategic planning and budgeting because it is an attempt by a critical third-party to quantify objectively (as far as these things can be; see the website) the masses of data now available to us. The assessment is doubtlessly not perfect, and God knows, we indeed have our work cut out for us (as evinced by some of the not-perfect numbers in the survey). But balance and perspective are essential as adults struggle to make sense of the complexity of our society, to confront despair or abdication, as we each participate in our own way in the creation of a Powhatan we are proud of and cherish.

Residents worried about proposed subdivisions Dear Editor, We are writing to draw attention to the plight of citizens who live on or adjacent to Page Road. At two recent public meetings (Flat Rock Elementary and Powhatan Library), we learned of two proposed new subdivisions that will impact eastern Powhatan: the Ellis project with 249 homes at the intersection of Page Road and Route 60 and the Donnelly Creek project with 85 homes in the middle of Page Road. Estimate 500 people at the first and 170 at the second. This equals an estimated 670 cars (two to each residence) to travel Route 60 and Page Road. Page Road is not safe now, and according to the county, no upgrades or improvements are planned. We cannot accept this new influx of traffic. We find it disingenuous that little to no notice was given to those who would be affected and suspect a meeting was held on a holiday week. Wilma J. Burke and Andrew A.

MASKS Continued from pg. 1
EMS departments across the United States and Canada, with 1,000 of them being donated in this region. “It enables our first responders to have pet oxygen masks that actually fit on the pets’ mouths, whether it is a dog or a cat. The human masks they carry are flat. These fit over the snout and allow them to actually provide oxygen to the pet when they bring them out of a fire,” he said. In the case of a residential fire, once firefighters have assured human life is safe, attention often turns to pets in the home, Monaghan said. When given the opportunity, rescue personnel want to help pets caught in these situations, but often haven’t had the proper equipment to do so. “If someone loses their house and all their possessions, the fact that their pets are alive as well as their own lives being saved means a lot. I know firefighters I have talked to are so happy when they are able to save that life. That is what this is about,” he said. Each kit contains three sizes of reusable mask to fit different types and sizes of household animals, he said. He explained the sizes by animal – think German Shepherd for the large, Border Collie for the medium and cat or Pug for the small. The masks have also been used to save iguanas, ferrets and other pets, he added. The kits also include laminated instructions on using and cleaning the masks as well as a
simple slip leash to hold the animal if it is resuscitated so it doesn’t become agitated and bite the person trying to help it or run away, he said. The kits will be put on each fire engine, one at headquarters and the last at the rescue squad, said Curt Nellis, emergency management coordinator. Having the masks will allow the county to provide an added level of service that is important to local citizens. The department will likely create or use an existing training video that can be used by all of the stations to train their members. “Animals are family members, too. To be able to do this adds to the level of service we are able to give,” he said. Phil Warner, interim fire and rescue chief, said that unfortunately, over the course of his career, he has been through many situations where firefighters didn’t have the means to save a pet. He believes the department had some at one time, but they were either lost or dry rotted. “Usually when we pull a pet that is lifeless out of a fire, we just leave it as lifeless. Now that we have the means to facilitate some life safety care, we are going to use that to help try to save some pets’ lives. They mean so much to all of us when they are part of our families,” he said. Often, an owner is more devastated over losing a pet than all of their belongings, he added. “It is absolutely heartbreaking.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

School board adjusts budget By Laura McFarland News Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board recently voted to make amendments to its fiscal year (FY) 2019 budget to cover increased costs in its transportation department. During the board’s meeting on Tuesday, June 25, members voted unanimously to increase the transportation department budget by $165,000. They did this by transferring $140,000 from operations and maintenance and $25,000 from instruction. This transfer of line items does not increase the school board’s overall total budget. The transfer was needed to cover higher fuel costs, additional driver and benefit expenses, and more repair parts and supplies that were needed for county vehicles than had been budgeted, said Larry Johns, assistant superintendent for finance and business operations. Although the cost for these repair parts and supplies for county vehicles have been reimbursed resulting in higher revenues than budgeted, the expenditure budget must also be increased. There is funding available in the operations and maintenance category since some repair and maintenance projects were not necessary due to the TRANE project, Johns said. The savings from the instruction category were because actual leave balance payouts for retirees and workers compensation claims were slightly less than budgeted. Johns said he anticipates the FY19 budget will end with somewhere between $171,000 and $210,000 in excess revenue. Those funds will be transferred to the schools’ capital improvement program (CIP).
Other business handled at the meeting included: The board voted unanimously to name the Powhatan High School Athletic Stadium after retired athletic director and football coach Jim Woodson. The board received several letters in support of the naming and several of the board members also expressed full support. The division plans to formally commemorate the renaming at the football team’s second game of the season. The board voted unanimously to increase meal prices for student lunch by 10 cents for the 2019-2020 school year per federal mandates. Federal regulations for school food service stipulate for 2019-2020 that when the average charge for paid lunches is less than $3, then either the prices must be increased or nonfederal funds must be provided to the food service account that covers the difference. Powhatan’s average weighted meal price is currently $2.74, so the division is 26 cents below the federal requirement for 2019-2020. The budget for the year includes a $35,000 subsidy for food service, so it is not necessary to increase prices by the full amount of 26 cents. The board’s decision said that: the breakfast price for K-12 is to remain at $1.50; and the lunch price for grades K-8 increase from $2.70 to $2.80 and for grades 9-12 to increase from $2.80 to $2.90. The board unanimously approved a landscape maintenance contract for its Bermuda fields with WTG, LLC worth $61,484 for a year. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

T-D All Metro honors Staff Report Two juniors led Powhatan High School’s selections onto the 2019 Richmond Times-Dispatch All-Metro teams. Brandon Eike of Powhatan Baseball was named to First Team All-Metro for pitcher. Eike showed he was ready for his inning count to sharply increase on the mound at the high school level, because with that increase, he enjoyed a breakthrough season. He went 9-1 on the hill with a 0.87 ERA, striking out 103 batters and walking 11 in 52 innings pitched. Eike was also a force at the plate, hitting .411 with 10 doubles and three homers and adding 15 RBIs while also earning the title of Class 4, Region B player of the year, as well as AllState honors both for pitcher and shortstop. Eike has stayed hot on the diamond this summer, winning the WWBA 17u National Championship with his Canes 17u National team and also earning the title of winning pitcher in the championship game. He was also named the tournament MVP in Wilson Premier Championship East play after he and his Canes won the tournament title. Rileigh De Weese of Powhatan Softball was named to First Team All-Metro for infield. De Weese was the heartbeat of the Indians’ young and talented lineup, hitting .389 with a .539 on-base percentage and a .768 slugging percentage for an OPS of 1.307. She drove in 25 runs, nine of them in Powhatan’s three regional games with the help of multiple clutch home runs. She was also solid defensively, finishing the season with a .944 fielding percentage. The junior and UCONN commit also earned honors for All-Region see ALL-METRO, pg. 4B

hen Grayson Melton was younger, his dad hunted and killed a turkey and took it to Frankie Barham to get it mounted. Barham was head coach of the Powhatan 4-H shooting team at the time, and Grayson’s dad saw that he had shooting targets. He told Grayson about them, and Grayson, who had just gotten a new bow,
went by to try it out. After Grayson shot his bow, he recalled Coach Barham wanting him to join his team. He did so at the age of 9. Now 18 and a recent graduate of Powhatan High School, Grayson has been a member of the Powhatan 4-H Shooting Club for almost 10 years. He’s attended shoots at locations across Virginia; every year, he and his team would partake in a state competition, and from that competition, the top 10 individuals would be formed into a development team.
Those 10 shooters would practice together for six months or so, and then the best four individuals from that team would head to the outdoor National 4-H Shotgun Championship in Nebraska, with the top three scores counting. Grayson knew he had made his way to that best group of four in Virginia, so his goal with the national competition – the first time he had traveled out-of-state for the sport – was: “to go out there and to do the best that I could and to show see MELTON, pg. 4B

FH players growing skills over summer By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

Powhatan’s Michala Taylor controls the ball in a 2019 summer league field hockey matchup.
MIDLOTHIAN - The start of the VHSL field hockey regular season is still over a month away, but players in the Powhatan program have been honing their skills and knowledge of the game throughout the calendar year and, most recently, during summer league play. While the winter league saw players competing on a far faster surface indoors, the outdoor River City Sportsplex field - on which the Indians played while facing
Deep Run on July 8 - simulated the playing conditions that they’ll expect to experience this fall. There was a referee to explain to the players the moments when they committed a penalty or infraction; Powhatan head coach Stephanie Tyson also pointed out that the official has been able to talk to the girls about a couple of rule changes for the upcoming season. “The summer league is helpful for many reasons. Anytime they get a chance to play in a scrimmage or game at this point, it is beneficial,” Tyson said. “The more
they play, the better. It helps them with the start of conditioning. And hopefully they are having fun.” Extremely versatile four-year starter Michala Taylor has been among Powhatan’s summer league players; she is “definitely expected to step up this season as a senior” according to her head coach. “She has played both offense and defense in previous years. She works very hard and has grown into an outstanding field hockey player in the past four years,” Tyson said. “I am really looking forward to watching her play and lead our team this season.”

A 20-year staple in the Powhatan community Interest in basketball, sports continues to grow with Powhatan’s summer camp By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN - Before sixth grade, softball was the one sport that Michala Taylor played. Now, the rising Powhatan High School senior is an established leader across the playing fields, excelling at field hockey in the fall, basketball in the winter and lacrosse in the spring this past academic year. It all started with the youth summer basketball camp held in Powhatan. Coach Kristy Henderson, who was then a teacher at the elementary school, convinced her to attend as a camper. Taylor did so as a sixth grader. “That kind of started me playing basketball because I had never played before,” Taylor said. “I always remembered it and I kind of owe my basketball career to this camp basically because I never would’ve played basketball unless she convinced me to do it.” And by getting into basketball, Taylor learned she could love a lot of other sports. “And now I play a bunch of other sports.” Taylor also became one of the many counselors who led drills and stations at the very same Powhatan Basketball camp that kickstarted her successful multisport journey. Through the camp - which founder and Powhatan High School assistant athletic director Steve Washburn has been holding for 20 years now - students in grades 1 through 8 learn the range of elements that comprise the game: fundamentals and skills such as defense, shooting, layups and passing. The campers then put those newly learned skills to the test

in rotating stations with instruction from Washburn, Henderson and a group of counselors featuring student-athletes who played high school basketball for Powhatan and were also campers themselves, like Taylor. “I’ve seen a lot of kids come through,” Washburn said, “and the rewarding thing for me is the fact that many of the kids who started out as campers have now become counselors.” Rising Powhatan senior Gabby Dintino never came to the basketball camp as a camper because she didn’t know that it existed - but she definitely would have. Following her freshman year on the JV basketball team, Dintino was told that she could come help out and volunteer. She loved it. “I did both weeks...super invested, and I’ve been doing it ever since,” she said. Henderson said that the campers, all from Powhatan, get to meet new kids from the other elementary schools. And they love the counselors. The campers and their teenaged instructors were all smiles during the first day as they competed with each other and tried to find ways to either defend the basketball or maneuver it to the hoop. At times, rising junior Aaron Nash - who in his instruction emphasized the importance of defense - appeared to have five or six kids swarming him with the apparent intent of get-
ting the ball away from him. “It’s been fun,” he said. “I love working with kids and helping them striving...to be great.” Washburn said that the counselors become role models to the campers: he pointed out that, when the younger kids come to watch those athletes compete on the playing grid on a Friday night, those kids can say, “I learned how to play basketball from them this past summer.” “It’s a lot of excitement on both ends,” he said, “not only for the players to have someone who looks up to them, but also for our kids to see someone who - they want to be in the same position [the counselors are in] at this point. It’s kind of passing the torch.” And the summer camp drills prove valuable to the very counselors who are leading them. “We have to teach them the fundamentals of basketball, because some of them, the little kids, they don’t know,” Dintino said, “and we get so caught up in where we’re at with our level, but it’s really nice to just go back and work on the basics, and that actually improves your game.” “Once you learn how to teach a skill, you only become better because of it,” Washburn said. “As we get more and more of our players to teach skills and to pass on the skills... they’re becoming better at it and they’re passing on their

knowledge to somebody else, so it’s a win-win situation.” With the camp, Washburn wanted to create even more community excitement for Powhatan Basketball, and with the help of Dan Grabill and Paulette Bowman over the last 20 years - and also with former campers returning as counselors - he’s seen that goal realized. To the instructors, Powhatan’s summer basketball youth camp is about more than just basketball - it’s about being involved, keeping yourself active during the summer, having fun and
spending time with friends. It’s also about learning that a sport isn’t just a sport. “Every sport that you play, you create a family and everybody in it is very invested,” Taylor said. “Once you get into sports and school...it’s just another home, so it just kind of teaches everybody the family mentality. “You learn basketball and everything, but when I was little, I just learned that being a part of a team is the best thing you can do as a kid and growing up.”

and All-State. Hailey Camp of Powhatan Girls Lacrosse was named to Second Team All-Metro. Camp contributed heavily to the Indians’ best season yet (96) in the program’s four years competing at the VHSL level. The junior had 29 goals, 9 assists, 21 ground balls and 14 draw controls across the 2019 season. She scored the decisive goal in the Powhatan Girls Lacrosse program’s first-ever regional playoff victory - a 10-9 decision over Midlothian. Powhatan Track and Field standout Anthony Greenhow made the Times-Dispatch All-Metro rankings in the boys 100 meter dash (10.76) as well as in the boys 200 meter dash (21.99). Greenhow led Powhatan with placements of third and fourth in the 100m dash and 200m dash, respectively, during the 2019 Class 4 outdoor track and field state championships. The sophomore ran a third-place final 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.

them how good I can shoot – or how bad I can shoot, however it turned out.â€? Competing in a field of 117 youths from 32 different states, Grayson placed fifth individually in the nation‌ ‌and first overall with his fellow Virginia teammates to win the national team championship against the likes of Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma. “Not trying to point fingers or nothing, but we were definitely trying to beat Texas. Everybody that goes out there wants to beat Texas‌because, in our state shoot‌last year I think we had 85 competitors‌they had like 1,020 people at their state shoot, so they have so much more potential for skill than we do,â€? Grayson said. “It feels really good, leaving knowing that we beat ‘em – us four beat pretty much everybody in Texas. Anybody that could’ve participated, we beat pretty much all of ‘em. That’s kind of the look I had on it.â€? All four Virginians placed in the top 20. Mattison Russell from Mecklenburg County took third place, Walker Coleman from Nottoway County finished seventh and Charlie Maddox from Appomattox placed 19th. They were led by head coach Jinx Baney, a retired Brunswick County extension agent, and assistant coach David Maddox. Using the Browning Citori Crossover Target shotgun that he bought a few years ago, Grayson took ninth overall in trap – in which targets travel away from the shooter – sixth overall in skeet – in which the shooter tries to break a high target and a low target, both of which are launched by two fixed machines – and fourth overall in sporting clays, a hunting scenario-type competition in which targets fly in all directions. “Skeet is mostly a mind game – it does take a lot of skill, but it takes more of a mind to keep it all together and be able to put it all together, and the trap‌ you don’t really ever know where [the target] is coming from; wherever you’re at‌it’s still in front of you, but either to the right, to the left, straight in front of you,â€? Grayson said. “And then sporting clays‌that really shows what kind of shooter you are. You can never go out

there knowing what it’s going to be. It’s going to be different every single time. No matter where you go, it’s always different.â€? When Grayson started with the Powhatan team, there were three disciplines: shotgun, .22 rifle and archery. “Shotgun has always been my favorite and that’s the one I pursued the most,â€? he said. “That one’s just the most fun to me – just being able to shoot all different targets depending on skeet, trap or sporting clays‌it’s more of a challenge, to me‌than the .22 and the archery because it’s a moving target‌â€? Taking on the national competition, Grayson said he definitely kept his head straight. “If I did miss one, I wouldn’t let my head affect me – I would keep my head focused,â€? he said. “I wouldn’t let my one miss cause another one.â€? It takes a lot of practice to reach Nebraska, and in addition to shooting continuously for almost 10 years, Grayson estimates that he shot about 250 shells a day while practicing almost every day in the two weeks leading up to the trip to nationals. “I shot a lot of shells, and that’s really what it takes,â€? he said. “You can’t just go out there and expect to compete with these competitors – you’ve got to shoot the shells, you’ve got to have the practice to be able to even compete‌practice is definitely the biggest thing that would put you where I ended up.â€? He learned plenty about the sport from Barham and current head coach Steve Wooten. His team, he said, feels like a family. “All the coaches and all my team-
mates – it was always fun to go to shooting practice, not only to shoot but to be with everybody that was there and all the teammates and everything,â€? Grayson said. “It just kept me going, wanting to do it and wanting to do it, and then once I saw that I could have some potential, I kept with it.â€? The coaches, Grayson observed, are there to help you not only with shooting, but with anything going on in your life – they’re that close with you. He added that current head coach Wooten “will help you with anything you need.â€? “If your gun’s broken, if your bow’s broken, he’ll fix it,â€? Grayson said. “He’s been a huge impact on my shooting career, for sure – him and Frankie.â€? Grayson’s parents have always been there to help with anything he needed, whether it meant helping him to buy shells, helping to pay for practices at locations like Arrowhead Gun Club or going with him to practices. “They would give me the encouragement to go and to do the best that I could,â€? he said. Grayson has a full-time position with Tolley Electric and will start apprenticeship school in September. He hopes to advance his shooting career through organizations including but not limited to the Scholastic Clays Target Program and the Amateur Trapshooting Association, and he plans on finishing on the high end again in this year’s upcoming state competition. For those coming up after him, Grayson said the sport is a great thing to get into. “If football’s not your thing, baseball’s not your thing – even sports in general’s not your thing – try out shooting,â€? he said. “It’s a great thing not only to be able to do things with other kids, but‌it teaches you tons of life skills – how to interact with other people, how to just go along in life pretty much. It helps you with your social skills and everything.â€? While the shooting competition landscape will continue to change both in quantity and quality with every passing year, Grayson Melton, from Powhatan, feels really good to know that, in 2019, he left the National 4-H Shotgun Championship as a top 5 placer in the United States.
