Planning commission reviews two large subdivisions By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Applications for two proposed mixed use developments – including one that could potentially bring one of the largest and densest residential projects in the county’s recent history – are currently under review by the Powhatan County Planning Commission. A public hearing was held on Tuesday, Aug. 6 regarding a rezoning case for East West Communities, which could ultimately see some commercial development and up to 249 homes built on a 120-acre site on the north side of Page Road at its intersection with U.S. Route 60 (adjacent to the Chesterfield County line). This project, called the Ellis Farm Develop-

ment, would include singlefamily detached, duplex, and townhouse dwellings, said Andrew Pompei, planning director. Citing the need for more information, the planning commission decided to defer the case until its next meeting at 7 p.m. on Sept. 3. POMPEI During the group’s workshop, they also heard updates and asked for more information about a rezoning case for another mixed use development nearby, Donnelly Creek. Markel Eagle Partners LLC has submitted an application to rezone a 53-acre site along Route 60 at its intersec-

tion with Holly Hills Road and along Page Road at its intersection with Old Powhatan Estates, Pompei said. This project proposes a residential area that could accommodate up to 85 single-family detached dwellings with an average of 1.7 homes per acre. No action was taken on the project during the workshop. In the last 10 to 15 years, the largest approved subdivisions in Powhatan have been: Tilman’s Farm, up to 145 lots (average lot size: 5.01 acres); Aston, up to 135 lots (average lot size: 5.02 acres), and Westlake at Mill Mount, up to 103 lots (average lot size: 4.83 acres). The only newer subdivisions that were comparable in terms of lot size were Bel Crest, up to 64 lots (average lot size: .28 acres) and Bel Bridge, up to 46 see PLANNING, pg. 4

New technical large animal rescue gaining momentum By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Approaching a frightened 1,200-pound horse in an emergency situation can be a recipe for a disaster. Whether it is a large animal trapped in mud, stuck in a ravine, injured in a trailer accident or stuck in a swimming pool, any number of things can go wrong to make the situation dangerous not only for the animal but any humans trying to help. A new regional group forming in Powhatan hopes to take some of that risk away by combining the members’ desire to help animals in trouble with the right training and equipment. The Central Virginia Technical Large Animal Rescue is currently laying the foundation it will need to become the state’s second such rescue group, said Donna McNamara, its administrator. The group’s purpose will be to provide the

If they can stick to the timeline of moving those offices in October and November, the final cleanout of the building would take place in December and building ownership could easily be transferred to the county on Jan. 1, 2020, he said. “The repurpose is going well. We have finished the lighting. We have finished the replacement of all of the ceiling tiles. The new blinds are in place. The sheetrock we will be finishing up (this) week, and then the painter will be here toward the end of August to do the painting. Then we will do the flooring and should be close to being done,” Tibbs said. The county is currently planning to

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors is considering forming a conservation and recreation foundation that could potentially capture revenue and receive land donations meant to bolster open space and parks and recreation in the county. During a workshop on Thursday, Aug. 8, the board heard a presentation from Karin Carmack, chair of the planning commission, in which she urged them to consider the creation of the Powhatan Conservation and Recreation CARMACK Foundation. The idea for the foundation was inspired by solar farms that have come into the county or are being considered – two are currently under review by the planning commission – with little opportunity for the county to capture revenue from them. Carmack said she started looking at other localities to see what they were doing to capture some additional revenue or benefits from these solar farms, which led

Plans, timeline solidifying for Skaggs Road building renovation in 2020 By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – Plans and timelines are firming up in the renovation and relocation of several county government and school administration offices. Updated timelines point to the Powhatan County Public Schools’ administration offices moving out of their current location at 2320 Skaggs Road by the end of 2019.

During a public town hall held on Saturday, Aug. 3 in the Village Building, Spanberger answered questions directly from Central Virginians about topics ranging from the high costs of healthcare and prescription drugs to the ongoing humanitarian and national security challenges at the southern border.

start construction to renovate the 7,600-square-foot space in January 2020, said Ramona Carter, director of public works. The construction of the building conveniently permits isolating the building into two wings. County IT and public works will occupy approximately half of the building and the Free Clinic will occupy the other. Several improvements will be made to comply with current building codes, including roof repairs, HVAC replacement, electrical and fire code updates. In addition, the Free Clinic will require more extensive renovations to provide water and sewer to examination rooms and the dental clinic. In order to fairly distribute cost, the renovations of the building will be divided into two projects. The county project will involve total building roof repairs, HVAC, electrical upgrades as well as finish upgrades such as painting, flooring, and lighting for the half of the building the county will occupy. The Free Clinic project will involve water and sewer upgrades and more extensive interior renovations such as moving/adding walls, adding bathrooms, and adding laboratory facilities. The Free Clinic will fund the renovations to the space they occupy in exchange for a long-term lease of the space and benefiting from county-provided services such as electrical, cleaning, water and sewer costs, and IT support. It will take several months to complete all the work and the county would like to move into the building in late spring or early summer 2020, Carter said. The Free Clinic project schedule should align with the county project, she added. The county has $360,000 in the budget for its portion of the project. The Free Clinic is funding its portion of the renovations separately and is currently fundraising. “We anticipate the Free Clinic's portion to be a higher cost than the county's due to dental/medical equipment requirements,” she said.

Although expanding the clinic has been a longtime dream of organizers, the logistics they face in the coming months to make it a reality are daunting, Moslow said. “It’s going to be a total community project. This is Powhatan’s clinic, so we are going to appeal to Powhatan – the people, the businesses, the organizations – to dig deep. The clinic has been around for 11 years now. We have proven ourselves and that we need the clinic,” she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday. com.

Father pleads guilty to shooting son in the face By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – A Powhatan County man who admitted to shooting his teenage son in the face in 2018 has been sentenced to six years in prison. On Monday, Aug. 6, Troy Patteson, 55, of Powhatan pleaded guilty to charges related to an incident on July 22, 2018, in which he admitted to shooting his then 15-year-old son in the face, according to Gretchen Brown, assistant commonwealth's attorney. Patteson was convicted of malicious wounding, use of a firearm during commission of a felony, shooting into an occupied dwelling, and felony obstruction of justice by intimidation of a witness. As part of the plea agreement, an original charge of aggravated malicious wounding was reduced and Brown agreed not to prosecute a misdemeanor charge of filing a false police report. Judge Paul Cella accepted the plea agreement and sentenced Patteson to 38 years with 32 years suspended, which was at the high end of the sentencing guidelines, Brown said. Patteson has been in custody since he was arrested in August 2018 and will receive credit for time served. “I think that it was a good resolution because it saved the child from having to testify and achieved the maximum end of the guidelines for this defen-

PATTESON

dant,” Brown said. Patteson’s attorney, Mark L. Earley Sr., could not be reached for comment. The incident happened at about 10:30 a.m. on July 22, 2018, when deputies were dispatched to the 2600 block of New Timber Way in response to an individual who had been shot in the face, Brown said. The victim was already in an ambulance when they arrived and unable to speak. According to deputies, Patteson claimed his son was cleaning a 45-caliber handgun on the couch when he shot himself in the face by accident, Brown said. The victim corroborated that story through yes or no questions asked by a deputy. However, the first deputy on the scene, Josh Barnes, noticed discrepancies in the story, including the wrong caliber gun being close to where the incident happened and no cleaning supplies nearby, she said. An investigation was begun by detective Austin Schwartz. About a month after the incident, on Aug. 28, the

victim came to the sheriff’s office with his mother and reported that he hadn’t been truthful when originally questioned. “He reported that his father had shot him and had done so because his father had gotten angry that his dog had chewed through some Christmas lights on the bottom of the Christmas tree,” Brown said. “Further investigation revealed that the second report by the son was valid.” Brown said that had the case gone to trial, the victim would have testified that immediately after the shooting, his father told him, “You better not tell anybody or I am going to finish you off.” “On the day of the

shooting, the father said to him, ‘I am sick of you and your damn dog messing things up.’ He pulled the gun out of the holster on his hip, racked the slide, pointed it at him, and shot,” the prosecutor said. Detective Mike Wentworth did a follow-up interview with Patteson in which “he initially denied it, but then he admitted to pointing the gun at his son and said that it just went off by mistake and that the boy had walked into the line of fire,” Brown said. When search warrants were executed at the home, one of the things deputies found was “chewed up Christmas lights on the bottom of the Christmas tree.”

Acts 17:30b-31 â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śall people everywhere should repent, 31 because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousnessâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? In a concise sermon of less than 300 words, Paul told religious folks, philosophers and citizens to repent because of coming judgment day. All people will stand before Jesus Christ, the Judge. Why Jesus? Because He alone died for our sins, was buried and was resurrected from the dead. He has all authority. What will you do with Jesus? (Matthew 27:22)

PLANNING Continued from pg. 1

lots (average lot size: .21 acres), he said. Some older subdivisions come closer to the proposed projectsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; numbers. According to GIS data, there are Branchway Forest, up to 136 lots (average lot size: 3.68 acres); Holly Hills, 172 lots (average lot size: 0.72 acres), and Chestnut Oaks, up to 221 lots (average lot size: 1.78 acres). While nine people spoke in opposition to the East West Communities project during its public hearing, the planning commission did not express outright support or opposition to it or the other proposed development. Instead they asked for more data to consider, with special emphasis on impacts on school enrollment, emergency services, and traffic on Route 60. They also were highly interested in the Virginia Department of Transportationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s position on proposals made by the East West Communities group to re-align and signalize Page Road. Currently, VDOT does not support the developerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s suggestion of adding a four-way signalized intersection at the proposed re-alignment of Page Road near the county line even if the developer is willing to pay for the improvement, according to the meeting documents. In recent meetings, VDOT representatives have talked about fourway stops as a hurdle to traffic flow and discussed how the agency is looking at innovative strategies to solve traffic problems instead. The applicant has already proceeded with a signal justification report, which planning commission members said they want to see.

Ellis Farm Development The specific request

before the planning commission regarding the East West Communities project is to rezone all or part of four parcels currently zoned Agricultural-10 (A-10) to Commerce Center Planned Development (CC-PD) and Village Residential Planned Development (VR-PD). Of the approximately 120.68 acres that would be rezoned, about 6.98 acres would be rezoned to CC-PD and approximately 113.7 acres would be rezoned to VR-PD, which permits residential densities of up to four dwelling units per acre developed in accordance with a master plan. In the Village Residential section of the project, a minimum of 23 acres would be open space or have an easement over them precluding alteration, clearing, building and disturbance, according to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal. At least 9 acres of the open space set aside would be dedicated to active recreational areas. In the Commerce Center portion, a minimum of 1 acre would be open space or have an easement over it. Before the public hearing, Chris Shust with Balzer and Associates spoke for the development, talking about the quality of East West Communitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; previous projects and the advantages this proposed one could bring to the county. Numbered among those were the proposed improvement to Page Road; bringing water and sewer to the north side of Route 60; committing to building a new pump station; generating an estimated $3 million in utility connection fees for the county, and generating an additional $1 million a year in real estate taxes. Shust also addressed concerns that have been

raised about the community pushing the school enrollment to capacity. He said numbers used for projections are conservative and would likely not trigger pushing the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s public schools to capacity. The nine residents who spoke during the public hearing raised a wide range of concerns regarding this project. Some of the concerns they expressed included: increased traffic on an already burdened Page Road and on Route 60 not only from new residents but all of the people who provide them with services; putting a burden on Route 711 from additional traffic using that road to enter the county; pushing the public schools closer to capacity and triggering the need to build new schools; putting a large burden on the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s water capacity; putting a strain on emergency services resources; having a negative impact on the historic rural road, and damaging the character of the area. Most of the questions the planning commission members asked were centered around getting more data to help them in their decision. They talked with Kyle Bates, the VDOT Chesterfield residency engineer, who was reluctant to give an opinion on the project until the signal justification report was completed. They spoke with Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, who explained the schoolsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; current capacities and how the new developments might impact but not necessarily push the schools over their capacities based on current projections. They also asked for more information regarding the potential impact on fire and rescue services and the need for more data from the utilities department regarding water usage.

Donnelly Creek The Donnelly Creek project proposal asks the county to rezone five parcels totaling 53.32 acres from A-10 and General Commercial, Pompei said. Of that combined property, about 49.82 acres would be rezoned to Village Residential Planned Development with proffered conditions, accommodating up to 85 dwelling units, and 3.50 acres would be rezoned to Commerce Center (CC) with proffered conditions. The proffered conditions the company proposes include having a maximum of 85 detached homes with at least 50 percent of them having a first-floor bedroom and full bathroom; a cash proffer of $2,720 per home, and construction of a new connector road from Page Road to Route 60, said Nathalie Croft, director of land planning with Eagle Construction. Donnelly Creek would be comprised of three distinct residential districts: The Village (smaller lots with alley access), The Parke (wider lots with streets that use a more curvilinear design) and The Estate Lot (currently no timeline or plan to develop). The community would feature two separate parks, The Village Green and Donnelly Park and Preserve, she said. During a brief presentation, Croft put special emphasis on how the project would create a village feel where open space design is key. The planning commission also asked about the traffic study regarding this project, the reactions by neighbors to the stub roads in the project, and the timeline for phasing in the commercial development as part of the project.

said Morri Pace, coordinator of innovative learning for PCPS. Teachers and staff members of not only Powhatan schools but schools throughout Regions 1 and 8 attended the packed day of activities, which included about 96 presenters leading 76 sessions, she said. “It was a division initiative. We went to several conferences last year and saw the power of them and chose to put on our own conference for our division and invite others from Region 1 and Region 8,” she said. Organizers began planning the conference in November 2018, with Pace and Dr. Tracie Omohundro, assistant superintendentt for instruction, n, at the helm and nd different commmittees across the division helping pull it all together. Pace said all of the organizers pitched in and helped each other make the conference a reality. “It was really just a big partnership of everybody in the division, from central office to 12-month staff, making sure that this would be a success,” Pace said. The conference was free for PCPS staff, and carried a reasonable charge to out-of-county participants to keep it accessible, Pace said. When planning the sessions, organizers aimed to cover a variety of topics that would appeal to a wide audience, including counselors, administrators, preschool through high school teachers, special education teachers, and English as a Second Language teachers. Some of the sessions taught that day included

“BuildMentall M Muscle iing M l with ih Consistent Creativity,” “Teen Vaping: Epidemic or Current Trend,” “Designing Video Games with Bloxels,” “Watch Me Grow: Revolutionizing Conferences to be StudentLed,” “Collaboration: Making it Work in Real Life,” and “Math Modeling with Dixie Cups.” “We tried to find a variety of sessions that would meet all of our staff needs, not just our teachers. We believe that everybody is educating someone, so we want to empower them to be able to do that throughout the school year,” Pace said. Omohundro said she was already hearing feedback after the morning sessions from teachers excited they were getting practical applications to what they were learning that they could immediately implement in their classrooms. “That is what is important. Certainly we

want to build on some of the philosophical ideas that we have about instruction and social-emotional learning, but if they can have specific strategies in those areas and turn around and put them in their classrooms, that is the benefit of what this is doing for us,” she said. Attendees could attend up to five sessions throughout the day and had additional chances for professional development by stopping at the 18 Ignite tables set up in the hallways to offer up quick, interesting ideas for educators, Pace said.

During lunch, they could also attend a lunch and learn session with Adam Garry, who talked about practical applications of the Profile of a Graduate model that has been adopted by the Virginia Department of Education. Jennifer Campbell, a French and Spanish teacher at Powhatan High School, said she attended a session on using technology to help students in the classroom, such as having her students use Google Tour to see sights in France without leaving the classroom. She attended another session about student-led confer-

ences that let students have more ownership in their school careers. “It was very helpful. Sometimes I leave something thinking maybe out of the hour I got five minutes of ah-ha moments, but this is a lit bit more helpful and rewarding,” she said. She also appreciated that the conference included educators from other school divisions to increase the perspectives they heard. “My second session was from Henrico. It was the student-based conferences. It is something they have already tried in

Henrico and it is something where they know what worked and what didn’t work. It is nice to be able to start something knowing what the pros and cons are already so you know exactly what you are getting into instead of starting from scratch,” Campbell said. Elizabeth Bearer, a first-grade teacher from Goochland County Public Schools, was both a participant and presenter at the conference. She attended sessions that dealt with communication and collaboration throughout K-12 classes, which offered a practical way of teaching students how to communicate effectively. They also learned about the Genius Block, a block of time where you give students the opportunity to pursue their own interests for an hour of class each week. “I just feel like the dynamic here is really relaxed but rigorous and everybody in here is excited to learn and apply what they are learning at the sessions in their own classrooms,” she said about the conference. Bearer’s session, which she presented along with her co-worker, Jennifer Ruffner, looked at how to take old school, tried-and-true strategies teachers use and innovate them with technology. For the conference’s first year, organizers were thrilled with the participation and the initial feedback from the day, Omohundro said. “Just having some other people provides a little bit of a push to our teachers to have conversations that they may or may not have with their local colleagues. I think that allows them to have deeper learning for their own benefit,” she said. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

The group will be a multi-jurisdictional collaboration that draws its members from fire and rescue workers, animal control officers, and private citizens who just want to help, McNamara said. Having such a varied membership will set the new group apart from the only existing group of this kind in Virginia – Little Fork’s Technical Large Animal Rescue Team in Culpeper County. That group is made up of firefighters only. The new regional group will have a member meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Thurs-

The first 50 guests who lined up before the store opened its doors at 6 a.m. won vouchers for a year’s worth of free coffee. Guests who still haven’t visited yet are in for a treat, Cabral said. There are still a few perks for new visitors, too, he said, including $2 medium hot or iced lattes and cappuccino every day from 2 to 6 p.m. And Dunkin’ lovers can always

find a few sweet deals and earn free rewards through the DD Perks mobile app. “We’re just thrilled to be here and bring this new experience to Powhatan,” Cabral said.

Learning to look at the world through another’s eyes By Laura McFarland News Editor

I never looked at Shirley Temple the same way. When I was growing up, life included all of the typical things that a child of the 1980s and 90s found interesting – Saturday morning cartoons, “ALF,” this great new Nintendo system my family shared, slap bracelets, and My Little Ponies. But because I spent a great deal of time around my grandparents, I also came to love and appreciate things that came before my time – namely music and movies from another era. That included developing a deep appreciation for the films of the past and stars such as Cary Grant, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Doris Day, and John Wayne. But of all of those old stars, none was as awesome as Shirley Tempe. I loved watching her sing “On the Good Ship Lollipop” on a plane full of grown men – only with retrospect does it seem weird to think about how often she was singing for a group of grown men – or dancing up and down the stairs with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson. She was the epitome of all that was cute and darling in the world to a little white girl from Texas with a bowl haircut. To this day I still enjoy her movies. But as a senior in high school, I read something that made me think a little differently not about the

When I read “The Bluest Eye,” it hit me in a way it never had just how insidious racism is to us as a society. It is not only about the big moments that lead to riots or demonstrations. It also is about the subtle moments of exclusion, degradation, and suspicion. What Ms. Morrison did with “The Bluest Eye” and other books of hers that I read was open my eyes a little more each time to another perspective in my country – another way of looking at and learning about how people feel and why they choose the paths they do. “The Bluest Eye” was published in 1970. Toni Morrison went on to publish many more works, including 11 novels and numerous children’s books, plays, and articles. She won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, the Nobel Prize for Literature, the Norman Mailer Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and so many more recognitions for her great contributions to American literature. But when I heard that the author whom I had long appreciated and admired had passed away on Aug. 5, 2019, at the age of 88, my thoughts for some reason automatically went back to her first novel – to the first time she taught me with her words to not look at the world only through my own narrow perspective. It is a lesson worth remembering every day. Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

person but about the brand that was Shirley Temple and the ideal of perfection she represented in her time. My senior English teacher had us read Toni Morrison’s “The Bluest Eye.” The novel, which was Ms. Morrison’s first, was the story of Pecola Breedlove, a poor, abused black girl in 1941 Lorain, Ohio, who was regarded as ugly by all those around her because of her dark skin color. Struggling with her own inferiority complex, the little girl begins to obsess with Shirley Temple and her desire for blue eyes – her desire to be thought of as beautiful and to be loved by those around her. I was 17 when I read this book. It wasn’t like I didn’t know what racism was in this country – both in the past and present. Only a year earlier, James Byrd Jr. was dragged to his death by three white men in Jasper, Texas, a little over two hours from where I lived. But I also will admit that growing up in Houston, which is such a melting pot of so many different cultures, and always attending schools, churches, and other events that were highly racially mixed, I didn’t think about racism on a regular basis either. I am not ignorant enough to claim to have lived a life without prejudice. But like many people who are not faced with racism on a daily basis or forced to confront their own prejudices, awareness of it and thinking about it also were not part of my deep psyche.

Filling the boot and lifting spirits

FOUNDATION Continued from pg. 1

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Looking for someone who gives back with selfless dedication and values the lives of his fellow citizens more than their own? One doesn’t have to search long to find a group of citizens who live by the code each and every day — America’s Fire and EMS workers. And while most of us take those lifesaving services for granted until the need arises, their dedication and devotion to our safety is non-stop and unwavering. And while some may be lucky enough to live a lifetime with no personal interaction with these dedicated servants, many more have personal stories where these individuals provided invaluable help, or made the difference between life and death. On the most challenging nights of my life was when one of my twins decided not to allow her arrival to wait for the hospital, the first voice I heard coming down my hallway to help was a group of firemen. It wasn’t life and death, but their presence assured a good outcome to an emergency I certainly had not anticipated. But, something firefighters across the nation are doing this month can make the difference between life and death. Throughout the month of August, you’ll notice many of them standing outside your local mall or grocery store collecting money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association and the people affected by debilitating muscle disease. It’s a campaign with humble beginnings called “Fill the Boot,” named appropriately for the method used by firefighters to hold donations. An old boot symbolized the effort, and, over the years, has become the single most defining icon for the event. For families like mine, the effort has provided an effort for my son and thousands of others affected with MD to establish relationships with Fire/EMS that are special and unique.

Since Jack’s diagnosis a decade ago, those workers have provided support and encouragement for a group of individuals who sometimes need an extra pat on the back or hand up. Jack has visited a number of firehouses as an MDA ambassador, and it’s hard to describe the magic that occurs when they gather. The fire and rescue workers’ unbridled sense of caring and compassion is on clear display each and every time they host an event or take that boot out for a campaign. These battle-tested men and women are never too busy to bend down and help a child or take a minute to let them know they are special ... and important. They also know the only solution to this devastating problem is money and the ton of it needed to find a cure. They take time away from their families to help children they don’t know my name, but are well acquainted and joined with on a common mission. Whether it’s helping a child attend MDA Camp at no cost to parents, or providing research for cutting-edge solutions that might lead to the final victory, this group of professionals knows no bounds regarding fundraising and the ultimate importance of those dollars. So, next time you see a firefighter or EMS worker holding a boot, remember those kids facing an unrelenting killer and the group of heroes determined to do something about it. Keep in mind those dollars placed in the boot represent more than currency for thousands of victims affected by MD. For children and the families who love them, each donation is a step toward a cure, a morsel of hope on a foreboding landscape. I have a personal stake in this battle, but the efforts of these dedicated public servants provides a message of service and compassion for all. Their amazing spirit somehow makes all of us better human beings, and reminds that we are not on this earth alone. For Jack, it has a much simpler message: You’ve got a friend.

to the idea for a 501c3 foundation. The purpose of the foundation would be to receive donations from companies, individuals, associations, and grants either in the form of cash or donated land. A board of directors could use those monies and lands to create and develop future public parks and recreation programs, services, and facilities. “I have fielded it with some of these solar companies and, according to these solar companies, they are interested in becoming an active partner with Powhatan and offering some sort of compensation for the loss of open space that occurs with these projects,” Carmack said. The advantage to the foundation would be that it gives the county flexibility with taking actions such as promising matching funds to sports associations that fundraise for parks and recreation purposes or purchasing land that would suit its needs, she said. Given the two solar farms currently being reviewed by the planning commission, Carmack urged the board to act fairly quickly if the board members think it would be a good idea to start the foundation. When asked by the board about current tax benefits from solar farms, Jamie Timberlake, commissioner of the revenue, talked about how complicated but limited taxing these companies is depending on the size of the solar farm. Only three members of the board of supervisors were present at the meeting – chair Angie Cabell, who represents District 3, David Williams, District 1, and Carson Tucker, District 5. All of them liked the idea Carmack presented of capturing those dollars and land donations. Williams talked about finding the “sweet spot” of these situations with solar farms – the optimum

amount of revenue the county feels it should be getting. “We know it is not going to be equal to, for example a subdivision or a commercial development, but given the offset for community services for residential, is it something less that we would agree upon that we would want to look at in terms of donations to enhance the deal for the county,” he said. However, Cabell argued that the county’s Economic Development Authority (EDA), which is already established, could serve the same functions and could handle these situations by expanding a little without setting up a new foundation. “I am not at all opposed to this idea; I think it’s a great idea. I just don’t know that you need another layer of bureaucracy involved when it’s already an option,” she said. The two women argued the point for several minutes, with Carmack questioning the effectiveness of handing this task to the EDA rather than a designated board of directors all focused on and passionate about preserving open spaces. She also pointed out that it might seem counterintuitive to some people for a group focused on economic development to also be managing a program about preserving open spaces. Ultimately, Cabell said she was not comfortable with setting up a foundation in the county’s name or even committing to do it while missing two board members and without providing any chance for public input. The board agreed to have county staff and Carmack work together to gather more information about existing foundations and possible bylaws and bring it back to the board with a recommendation.

The Shaved Duck Restaurant offers upscale dining with Powhatan flavor Contributed Report Patrick and Lauren Wrenn are hungry to share casual fine dining with their Powhatan County neighbors. The Wrenns, who live off Red Lane Road, are principal players at The Shaved Duck Res-taurant, thee upscale caasual, nonntraditional New Amerierican restaurant in Westchester Commons (15408 Westchester Commons Way). The restaurant may technically be in Chesterfield County, but its heart is in Powhatan. Patrick Wrenn is executive chef. Trained at J. Sargent Reynoldsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; culinary arts program, he has been cooking around Richmond since 2004, including at Can Can Brasserie, Amour Wine Bistro and Rowland Fine Dining. He sources much of his fresh produce locally from Manakintowne Specialty Growers, of Federal Hill Farms Road, and from Shalom Farms, on Venita Road west of Route 288, as well as from Westchesterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s weekly farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market, which features other Powhatan growers. Lauren Wrenn is the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s marketing manager, cooking up ways to promote the restaurant and its private dining space, which can seat up to 40 for wedding rehearsal dinners, business events, and private parties. This year the restaurant joined the Powhatan County Chamber of Commerce with plans to be active in the Powhatan business community as a supporting sponsor and a host for some events. "Our team at The Shaved Duck Restaurant is thrilled to have such great opportunities to work with local farms,â&#x20AC;? said Chef Wrenn, who attributes his love of cooking to his grandmothers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every week we find inspiration from the wide variety of quality products surrounding us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most of Richmondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upscale dining is a very long drive from Powhatan, something you might do only a couple times a year,â&#x20AC;? added Lauren

The restaurant serves dinner Tuesdays through Sundays and brunch on Saturdays and Sundays, with daily happy hours. Chef Wrenn changes the menu seasonally to make the most of fresh local ingredients, and strives for â&#x20AC;&#x153;something unique, yet approachable â&#x20AC;&#x201C; edgy variations of classic dishes.â&#x20AC;? Duck, of course, is a specialty. For summer dinners, there are Duck Tacos, Crispy Leg of Duck and a signature Duck Breast entree; for summer brunch, Duck and Waffle and Duck Hash, a blend of potatoes, peppers, onions, chives and Brussels sprouts, served with fried eggs. Duck Burger, a blend of duck and beef, is available for both brunch and dinner. Duck confit (a preparation method of preserving meat in its own fat to add flavor) can be added to other menu items, such as Ricotta Ravioli and The Shaved Omelet. Everything, from entrees to sauces, is farm to table, made from scratch, and assembled by hand, in a state-of-the-art kitchen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you like duck, our

The menu always includes homemade pasta, chicken, beef, fresh fish or seafood, shrimp and grits, a beef burger, and brunch favorites including French toast, Benedicts, and biscuits and gravy. Desserts change seasonally, and the bar offers specialty cocktails as well as craft beer and a selection of wine including Virginia varieties. All bottles of wine are half price on Wednesdays. And what about that name? Well, it carries multiple meanings. Yes, it comes partly from the prevalence of duck on the menu, but mostly because the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s owner, Joe Kmetz, has a soft spot for the carved (or â&#x20AC;&#x153;shavedâ&#x20AC;?) wooden ducks his grandparents collected. Look closely around the dining area and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see a few as part of the dĂŠcor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catchy,â&#x20AC;? said Lauren Wrenn, â&#x20AC;&#x153;a name we hope is intriguing and memorable.â&#x20AC;?

Connor Voorhees sends the ball over the hill and onto the green during a 2019 preseason practice.

OWHATAN – For as many new elements that Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Football has going into the 2019 season, there’s a matching level of familiarity. Gary Brock has a new title as head football coach following the departure of Shawn Pickett. But he’s not a new face, as the veteran coach joined the team last year as the Knights’ offensive coordinator. And after Pickett, Brock and Patrick Winterrowd had to teach the game of football pretty quickly to a Knights team that featured 14 seniors – several of whom hadn’t played varsity before – but ultimately succeeded together by assembling a 7-3 winning season in 2018, this year’s returners are familiar with how the team did things last year, and they’re not really changing up anything, Brock pointed out. Because of that, the Knights have been able to go right into their offense; the players coming

back now understand their single-wing offense – the team’s bread and butter last season – and they know that the single-wing formation, which they learned last year, is now their base. “They know that’s what we come back to – that’s what we survive on,” Brock said Aug. 5. see FOOTBALL, pg. 2B

OSELEY – In this past weekend’s Virginia State Outdoor Championships held at the Clover Hill Athletic Complex, the competing archers ranging widely in age shot four total rounds – or two rounds per day – with each round consisting of six “ends.” With each end, the competitors had 240 seconds to shoot six arrows at their circular targets, with each arrow able to score as high as 10 points. And with each end, Madelyn “Maddie” Adams made those 240 seconds count. “I just like to take my time,” she said. “I don’t really rush.” Exhibiting patience and standing firm on the shooting line during each end – even after the archers surrounding her had returned to their tents – the 12-year-old standout from Powhatan consistently grouped her six arrows together inside the innermost yellow circle of the target throughout the four rounds on Saturday and Sunday. Then she had a couple of setbacks in the form of a couple of six-point arrows. But Adams bounced back at the end of the two-day stretch while battling neck-and-neck with friend Andie Fulton to see ADAMS, pg. 3B

“As a result, right now if we play tomorrow, I believe we can all go out there and...put together the single wing and run it in a ballgame effectively.” Of the 3,632 yards that last year’s Knights amassed on offense, a whopping 3,298 of that was gained through their dominant run game. They also scored 44 of their 49 total touchdowns on the ground. But this year’s single-wingbased unit should receive a stronger complement from the passing game. “I think we’re in a situation where we don’t have to line up and say, ‘Okay, we’re going to run this play, and we’re going to run the next time,’” Brock said. “I think we can go in there…and people are going to have to say, ‘What are they gonna do?’ I think we’re much better suited to that this year... “It’s a different feel all the way around.” Making catches in practice were receivers like 6-1 transfer Ben Newton (Richmond Christian), 6-1 transfer Dominic Falchi (Midlothian) and returner

Ben Fleet, who received praise from Brock for the improvement he’s made at the position from last year to this year. Zander Nadeau, a 6-3 sophomore who as a split-end caught a team-leading four passes for 97 yards and a pair of touchdowns last year, should once again figure into the receiving corps as a potential tight end this year. Brock added that Ben Newton gives the Knights’ passing attack a little bit of pop as a potential home-run threat. “I think any time he touches the ball, he might go,” Brock said. “We haven’t had that here in a while.” Putting the ball in the spots where the receivers could get it was rising junior and starting quarterback Trevor Parker. Last season, the second team all-state player led the Knights’ relentless rushing attack with 17 touchdowns and a whopping 1,152 yards from the running back position. “Last year he came in, and we knew he was a quarterback, but at the same time we knew he was a running back,” Brock said, “and we needed a running back last year.”

still beat out there, and I think, even though we lost a couple seniors, we’re stronger than we were last year, our sophomore class has definitely improved a lot and so have I, so I think we have a good chance at beating a few teams in the district for sure.” Powhatan Golf went 12-9 to conclude its final year in the Jefferson District, and the group heads into the opening matches having lost two consistent starters out of its 2018 lineup, but also having returned everyone else from the previous season. Voorhees and sophomore Brandon Washburn will help lead the young unit in 2019, and sophomore and newcomer Adam Camp has already played his way into the starting lineup, with head coach Chris Leech expecting him to stay there. Leech said the young players are really eager to improve their games, and with the new district, they’ll get to play on new courses and take on a whole new experience overall. Having a young team also means that the players can build not only towards this season, but towards the seasons that follow as well. He’s seen good course management from some of his golfers – they don’t let themselves get in bad situations, he noted, and they’ll ask what they might be doing wrong and what the coach would do in this or that scenario. “They’ve been very coachable,” Leech said. While he anticipates that the courses featured in the Dominion District will be similar to the ones they played in the Jefferson District, the main difference – and a significant one – will be driving distance. Not only will the golf team be cutting down on travel time to and from matches, but competition courses like Birkdale and First Tee will be easier to get to and play on outside of matches. Leech is looking for consistency out of

But now, Parker moves into the pocket following the graduation of senior Kemper Roudabush, and according to his head coach, he’s bringing to the position good vision, good knowledge of the game and good, quick feet. While Brock would still love to have Parker in the RB position, he pointed out that “putting him back there at quarterback…is going to put the ball in his hands most of the time, and he’s definitely a run-pass threat.” With the single-wing base, he’s expected to be far from alone in the backfield. This year’s running back staff is slated to feature Josh Decker, who last year as a backup totaled 88 yards and a touchdown across 24 carries. He’s gotten a little bit bigger, a little bit faster and smarter as far as the offense goes, his coach said. Falchi is also expected to factor into the run game, and 6-0, 240-pound Chase Musselman, who enjoyed a strong secondhalf of the 2018 season and rushed for 297 yards and 9 TDs over 51 carries, is expected to be a force from the fullback position. “We didn’t use him that much at the beginning [of last year],” Brock said. “But at the end, people started really keying on the other backs, and we gave the ball to Chase, and every time I looked up, he was in the end zone. He knows what he’s doing…” Nic Dawson will probably split time with Decker at the RB spot as both of them will play defense full-time. The RBs have the potential to lead yet another dangerous multipronged attack on the ground, but the other half of any strong running game is a strong offensive line. This year’s unit is very young. “We’re kind of going to go how they go,” Brock said. “It’s one of those things where we’ve got skill people, but we’ve got to open up the holes for them.” After last year’s line tipped the scales with an average weight of roughly 270 pounds across the front, this year’s forward five will have three projected starters ranging from 175 pounds to 190.

his team – he’d really like to see his studentathletes constantly shooting certain scores and also recognizing where their weaknesses are so they can address them and therefore drop those two or three strokes off of their scorecards - the type of improvement that Powhatan will need from each golfer to be competitive in the district. “I want us to stay competitive – I don’t want to see any blowouts,” Leech added. “I know full-well Midlo and Monacan…James River are just deeper, stronger teams. I want to learn from them.” He would also like to see some of his individuals make it to region play. “We have some guys who, when regional qualifying comes in, have the opportunity to qualify through the sub-regionals to the final regional play,” Leech said. “Just getting that experience for them would be good.” Powhatan began season play Monday morning on Aug. 12 in the varsity invitational held annually at Chesterfield County’s Lake Chesdin Golf Club. Voorhees said Powhatan’s players are all good friends with one another. “We all see each other a lot and talk to each other a lot – we do stuff outside of the course too, at school,” Voorhees said. “We’re all very tight and close with each other.” “Almost all our guys are coming back from last year, so we already know each other really well,” Washburn added. “I think that helps us with team chemistry a lot.” Washburn this season looks forward to seeing some of the better teams “just to know what we can get to to compete with them.” Like anything else, you play to the competition, Leech said, and playing good teams that are constant threats to excel in the postseason – including Midlothian and Monacan, which are also in Region 4B along with Powhatan – will show the kids what they need to do in order to be successful. “I’m excited to see the new teams out there” – Voorhees added – “see who we’re up against and who we can beat.”

But Brock said they’re coming along. They have a new line coach in John Milstead, and they have also some experience returning with 6-0, 265-pound senior Khadeis Battle (a part-time starter on last year’s offense) slated to start at guard this year along with 6-3, 245-pound transfer and junior Zach Miles (Richmond Christian). Tackles include freshman transfer David Mann (Benedictine) and sophomore Harrison Lee, who started for the Knights on defense last year. The projected starting center is Chase’s younger brother, sophomore Garrett Musselman. “From an offensive standpoint, we feel good,” Brock said. “We’re just young up front - we’re going to have to come of age quick.” Defense, he reiterated, should be this year’s team’s strong point. After struggling with a porous constitution last fall, the 2019 Knights have really been emphasizing the defensive and kicking/punting units because of the team’s relatively younger look on offense this year. Mann and Garrett Musselman are the projected interior linemen, Battle and Chase Musselman will likely anchor the ends of the defensive line, Dawson and Falchi are slated to start at the corners, Parker will play at the safety spot and Decker, Miles, Lee and Newton will help comprise a linebacker corps that Brock believes is going to be “the heart and soul of everything.” “They’re very solid kids,” he said, “and – I’ve got to see what they can do in a game situation – but right now, I would put them against some of the better ones in the area as far as linebackers.” There’s also some fluidity with the defensive unit, as the two-way players, including Falchi and Parker, can be interchanged in order to give them a brief respite. Special teams should get a boost from senior, football newcomer and soccer team standout James Hawkins, who in practice showed he could consistently drill his trademark rocketing kicks through the uprights during field goal plays. “We convinced him to come

on out and thankfully he accepted,” Brock said of Hawkins. “We feel like, anytime we get inside the 30, he’s going to be a weapon.” Hawkins’ strong leg gives his team a shot at points on the board on the drives that don’t culminate in trips to the end zone, and it could also give the defense a lot of field to work with, provided that his powerful shots down the field in soccer translate into strong punts on the gridiron. Hawkins’ head soccer coach is Patrick Winterrowd, who is also the BSH football team’s defensive coordinator, and so far has impressed Brock and done a very good job according to the head coach. “He’s a young guy that’s full of fire,” Brock said, “and I like that for a defensive coach.” The Knights have been able to work on the little things that Brock noted are components of a good football team, like getting into and staying in good shape. For a team that Brock anticipates will feature a 23-man roster, conditioning has been a heavy point of emphasis in early August. They’re also looking to strengthen their depth so that more players can fill in. This coming Friday on Aug. 16, they’ll not only get to play several different people on the field –they’ll also get to gauge where they stand before the regular season kicks off with a special home benefit game this coming weekend against Rappahannock County at 7 p.m. The benefit – which will operate with standard game rules – is supporting Class of 2019 alum Sean McQueen, who all his life has endured having Fanconi Anemia – a rare disease that prevents bone marrow from making enough new blood cells for the body to work properly. “Sean’s a good kid and it’s a great cause,” Brock said. “I’m very thankful that we’ll be able to play this benefit game to support all the research and everything else and help out with Sean.” The following week, the Knights will kick off regular season play at home against Broadwater Academy on Friday, Aug. 23 at 7 p.m.

Mike Henderson – who took the helm of the Powhatan Indians this winter, succeeds two longtime legendary head coaches in Bob Baltimore and the area’s winningest coach Jim Woodson, and has lived in Powhatan for soon-to-be 21 years – wanted to have the past players and coaches reconnect with each other and meet the current coaching staff and their families. It meant a lot to Henderson to see former coaches like Bob Baltimore, Ernie Henderson, Jason Campbell and Jamie Layman – as well as star players like Shawn Minor and Shawn Henderson – in attendance. Players from the first-ever Powhatan Football team and the first Powhatan Football team that was integrated came through as well. “It just really means a lot to be embraced by this community,” Coach Henderson told the alumni on Sunday. “We’re going to do our best that we can to keep up this strong program that we have and such a proud tradition here in Powhatan. We’re going to do everything we can to keep that going.” Coach Henderson welcomed the alumni to stop by at practice, come by and say hello to the staff and come see of the things that the program has been doing. He highlighted the expansion of the weight room to one and two-thirds-times its previous size, the renovated offices for the coaches across the seasons and the brand new home and away player uniforms. “One of the big things that I really want to build this program on is: it’s one school and it’s one com-

munity,” Henderson added. “I really want to hammer that home; we tell our guys all the time: you live and play in the greatest county in Virginia, and I believe that. I want our guys to believe that. I think these guys who are here, they believe that.” Henderson told the alumni that he and his coaches are going to give them their best in order to give them a program they can be proud of. He also asked them to come out and support the players, who will be taking on a challenging Dominion District schedule featuring perennial powerhouses L.C. Bird, Monacan and the defending Class 6 state champion in Manchester. “The schedule is going to ramp up a lot,” Henderson said while adding: “We’re ready for the challenge. We might have to grow to it a little bit, but it’s gonna be fun. You’re going to see some of the best football teams in the area coming through Powhatan in the next couple years.”

Youth learn from coaches, players at camp By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor POWHATAN – Summer baseball had one more chance to shine on a bright and sunny Wednesday at Fighting Creek Park as the youth put their running, fielding, throwing and hitting skills to the test in the scrimmages that capped off Powhatan’s three-day summer baseball camp led by Ott Mullins. The 56 campers visited various stations located across and in between the different baseball fields, sharpening their skills and focusing on aspects that included fielding, hitting in the batting cage, tee work, pitching, catching, base running and the proper way to bunt. That late morning on Wednesday, the campers divided into three groups and took each other on in three different baseball games – and it was serious business. “They were going at it!” Coach Mullins said. “It’s good to put those age groups together – a lot of times, during the Rec League season or maybe Travel Ball season – for the younger guys, they’re placed with guys that are exactly the same age, so you’ve got 14-year-olds playing with 14-year-olds. But out here, we had 7-, 8- and 9-year-olds playing against one another, and…. those younger guys, they really get after it, and that’s good. Bringing that competitive spirit out, I think that’s a great thing that this camp does overall.” Throughout the camp, they learned from some of the community’s best, including Nathan Mullins, Duane Partusch, American Legion Post 201 Se-

niors head baseball coach Eric Mead and longtime coach Bob Baltimore, of whom Mullins said: “Everybody looks up to him – he’s just such a staple for Powhatan Baseball.” “They’ve been a good group of kids, good campers,” Coach Baltimore said. “They’ve been extremely attentive.” The coaches also had plenty of help, as several players from the Powhatan High School baseball program pitched in, helping with stations and working with the young participants. Some of those players had once come up through the camp as campers themselves. “It was fun – I remember all the older varsity guys helping out,” said Powhatan Baseball player Jack McMinn, who first came to the camp as a second grader, and with this camp got to be that older player for the youth to look up to. “It was very special because it was just fun seeing them when they’re younger, and seeing them really just improve over the week and see them get better,” McMinn said, “and

then know that I was just like that when I was younger.” “I remember when I was a kid and coming here and playing with the varsity guys, I learned from them,” said Powhatan Baseball player Caleb Kersey. “It’s just kind of cool that they will have memories of us…” “It was cool to watch all the kids and how I used to do that too and how I can teach them now…it was cool to see,” said Powhatan Baseball’s Jake Burton. “It just reminds me of me as a kid learning from all these older guys,” added Powhatan Baseball player Hayden Wasson, “and just trying to give them as much knowledge as I can [so] they get better.” Powhatan’s players could be seen smiling and lightheartedly chatting with their varsity teammates while also vocally encouraging the campers. “I know they’re out here, just having a good time with their buddies and everything - there’s no pressure on ‘em or anything like that,” Mullins said of the players, “but

they get to come out here and I know just from experience that, when you get out, and you get an opportunity to do some instructing on things that you’ve learned over the years from different coaches and that kind of thing…for some of the guys that are coming into their sophomore, junior or senior year in high school…or even going on and playing at the college level, it helps you kind of figure out what you need to do and some things that you can improve on as a player because you’re instructing these other guys to do just that.” And the younger kids – they just look up to those older ball players so much, Mullins said. “It’s cool to see them interact with one another,” he said. “It’s good all the way around.” Coaches Baltimore and

Mead could be heard telling the campers that they enjoyed the camp and enjoyed working with them. Following campending ice cream, multiple young campers said “Thanks, Coach!” to Mullins as they left. “I think the guys that came out to the camp really got a lot out of it,” Mullins said. “It’s some things that they can take along with them…I told everybody that our focus would be on fundamentals and having fun, and I think that’s the basis of the game really.” No matter where you go or where you wind up – even if it’s the major leagues, it starts somewhere, Coach Baltimore said – “and it starts on a field like this, with little kids coming out and learning how to play baseball and enjoying themselves.”

Sutton, 13, placed third in the compound cub female division. “I’m super-happy,” Sutton said. “I know I did my best and with more practice, hopefully I can do better.” Both Krahe and Sutton have been competing in archery for about a year. Both archers credited practice for the success they’ve had, with

Sutton adding: “I’m going to have fun but also… it just makes me happy. If it makes you happy, just keeping working at it, and follow your dreams.” For the three archers’ head coach Emily Blackburn, the best part of the competition was that they came out and shot their best – and each of them had hiccups, but they each bounced back from

them, she pointed out. “If they had gotten those hiccups and then... hadn’t decided to move on and regroup, then we wouldn’t be standing here with medals around our necks,” Blackburn said. “It’s cool to see how resilient they are and dedicated to just doing their best. That’s what makes me the most proud of them.”
