Library staff steps up until new director hired Charles Joynes comes on board as librarian By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
P
OWHATAN – The mark of a hardworking staff is how little outsiders realize everything is not as it should be because they are keeping it together that well. Despite being without a director since September, Powhatan County Public Library has continued to serve patrons and begin to add back programming that had gone away during the pandemic, said Joanne Fico, chair of the library’s board of trustees. Fico and the other trustees recently gave full credit for that feat to administrative assistant Fran McCreight and library systems technician Anne McKinley, who have stepped up to co-manage the library until a new director is hired, and all the other staff who have also pitched in to help. “We are working closely with them. I am over there a fair amount and so are Susan Ash and some of the other library board members so they have backup if they have a question about anything. But
functionally, you don’t even notice we don’t have a library director. That is how good those two women are,” Fico said. The library board is currently accepting applications for a new library director, she said. Applications are due to the board before its Dec. 8 meeting, at which point they will review them and set up interviews, probably in January. Fico hopes to have a new director in place by February. The library has also hired a new full-time librarian, Charles Joynes, who began work on Nov. 15 and was exactly what the library needed at this point, Fico said. “I really like him. I find he is very enthusiastic. He seems to have good people skills. He is a very flexible person, so I think he will be good with programming and seeking out connections in the community,” she said. Transition period McCreight said the teamwork effort was already strongly in place before September, and with a little more guidance from the board, they have been stressed but making it work. She said it was wise for the board to make her and McKinley co-managers because they each see LIBRARY, pg. 5

POWHATAN – In hindsight, all of the signs that something was seriously wrong with Davis Bean were there. The teenager was constantly tired, complained of always being thirsty and was rapidly losing weight. “The first sign I noticed was I was very weak. I had no energy to do anything. When I would stand up I would be like, alright, time to sit back down. And I had no appetite whatsoever,” Davis said. Davis’ mom, Paula Bean, saw the symptoms but honestly thought they were aftereffects of a surgery her son

had for a broken collar bone a few weeks earlier in October 2018. “But then it just kept going on. He just never felt better. He actually told one of my co-workers that he had lost a lot of weight. I see him all the time. I noticed he lost some but I didn’t notice how much,” said Paula, a first grade teacher at Powhatan Elementary. Finally, enough was enough. The Beans took Davis, a 14-year-old Powhatan High School freshman at the time, to see a pediatrician. When he was weighed on Nov. 19, 2018, he had lost 30 pounds since his surgery several weeks earlier. He had
bloodwork drawn and the next day, the family received a call with the results – Davis was showing signs of having developed Type 1 diabetes and his blood sugar level was so elevated that he needed to go to the hospital immediately. “When they checked him at the hospital, his blood sugar was 768 and a normal blood sugar level is 70 to 120. … We were very fortunate. The nurse told us when we got to the hospital if his numbers did not improve quickly he would go into ICU. He was at coma level. That was very scary to hear, especially since he

This year, she is also teaching a pilot self-contained class called Skills Development. “Teaching exceptional education in middle school is an extremely rewarding service. Middle school is a pivotal time in the lives of all students, but especially those with exceptionalities,”

“This is exactly where I want to be, and to have this opportunity to represent these papers and use my talent to tell someone else’s story is just a true honor. I promise to give Goochland and Powhatan everything I’ve got.” Managing editor Laura McFarland noted that Fletcher brings great skills and enthusiasm to his new position. “Robby is passionate about sports and community journalism and about continuing the tradition of quality, diverse sports coverage in our local communities. We are excited to see what he brings to our communities,” she said. Covering Virginia Tech athletics gave Fletcher a taste of a “passionate and sometimes rabid fanbase,” and he has also written for and represented high-profile NBA athletes for their
Bastaich told the CEC. “My main focus is to help students build confidence and be proud of their unique strengths. Through the daily incorporation of social-emotional activities, I strive to develop impactful relationships with my students.” Handsome is an alumnus of Virginia Commonwealth University and has served in Chesterfield County for 15 years and has experience with mild, moderate, and severe disabilities in the classroom. Currently, she is involved in special education compliance and she coaches special education teachers throughout Powhatan County. Her dissertation focused on post-secondary education for students with intellectual disabilities. Her heart lies in trauma-informed care and the population of youth experiencing intellectual disabilities. The Powhatan County School Board recognized Bastaich and Handsome at its Nov. 9 meeting for being honored by the Council for Exceptional Children.
personal websites as well, he said. Fletcher said his vision for sports coverage in Powhatan and Goochland counties is to bring readers personal, storydriven content. “We always need a good game recap, but understanding what drives those athletes on the field or on the court is what really fascinates me. Everyone has a story worth telling, and I’d love to hear each and every one,” he said. Fletcher’s time at Virginia Tech, as well as in interactions with writers he has come to admire and respect, taught him the lesson that “inaccurate and immoral journalistic ethics get you nowhere in this profession.” “Losing the trust of the reader, or even failing

to cover what readers are interested in, drives the community away, and that’s the last thing I’d ever want to do. It’s my job to find out what stories intrigue the Powhatan and Goochland communities, and I will always try to find those stories,” he said. When not working, Fletcher said he spends a good deal of time with his parents, who reside in Varina; his dog, JoJo, and his wonderful girlfriend of two years Val. He is also an avid Boston Celtics and Washington Football Team fan and a little bit of a cinephile in his free time.

Hey there everyone! My name is Bella. I was recently surrendered by my family and now I’m looking for a forever home. I’m 8-9 years old, spayed, up to date on shots, microchipped, and weigh around 50 lbs. I’m a very friendly girl who enjoys going for walks and hanging out with other dogs and of course people!! According to my previous owner I’m house trained and will let you know when I need to go Bella potty. They did find out that I might be deaf. With that being said I would do best in a home with no young children. If you’d like to come meet me please call the shelter at 804-598-5672 or email animalcontrol@powhatansheriff.net. I’d really like to find a family in time for the holidays so I can see everyone open presents and share the yummy food with me! If you would like to help the animals in our care, you can do so by donating to our medical fund at Claws and Paws, 4313 Anderson Hwy., Powhatan, VA 23139 Powhatan Sheriff’s Office | Division Of Animal Control Phone: 804-598-5672 | Fax: 804-598-5109

Board covers wide range of topics at workshop By Laura McFarland
meeting for newly elected District 2 supervisor Steve McClung.
Managing Editor
POWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors had a full night of discussion on a variety of topics at its Nov. 10 workshop. The workshop was a mix of general discussion, setting plans on how to proceed and a few formal votes. It covered topics such as solar regulations, commercial zoning issues, electronic signage, legislative priorities, a parking lot paving project and a proposed park in the Village near the courthouse. The workshop also marked the first
Solar farms The board had a lengthy discussion about solar farms and was considering an amendment to the zoning ordinance to provides use standards for solar energy farms to help clarify the ways in which new solar energy farms can be built and the constraints that will accompany them. Currently, solar farms are approved or denied through a conditional use permit (CUP) process. The new use standards the board asked the planning commission to
consider were largely derived from prior conditions placed on existing solar energy farms. The amendment would have formalized them in the zoning ordinance. Bill Cox, District 4, was the main supporter of having the amendment to the zoning ordinance, saying he didn’t want to do away with the CUP process but he did want to send a clear message of what the county wants or doesn’t want in a potential project from the start. Concerns were raised about codifying those conditions because a project might meet them but still be denied by the board, leading to accusations the board is acting capriciously.

In 2011, Joynes moved with his wife, Stephanie, and two daughters, Sadie and Georgie, to Williamsburg so his wife could accept a position at Colonial Williamsburg. Joynes said he was a stay-athome dad for a while, but when both girls were in full-time elementary school, he decided to go back to school to earn his master’s degree in library science. More than just a love of books, Joynes said he was motivated by the rec-
ognition of how libraries were changing their roles to become community centers with a variety of services to help patrons. Joynes graduated in May 2018 from the University of Kentucky. The family moved to Midlothian in August 2021. Moving forward with Powhatan, Joynes said he wants to help develop more adult programming and added that his expertise is in adult fiction and nonfiction.

In moving toward their final decision, board members generally agreed they did not want to remove solar farms from the comprehensive plan as a possible use for land because they believed a facility could be beneficial under the right terms. When it became obvious the amendment did not have support from the rest of the board, Cox asked for at least a visibility standard in the zoning ordinance but the rest of the board said they were comfortable with the county’s current approach. However, David Williams, District 1, said he would like a guidance policy that is

Woman’s Club of Powhatan prepares bags for local seniors
CONTRIBUTED PHOTOS
The Powhatan Woman’s Club meets monthly. The October meeting’s program was to decorate bags to donate to seniors for the Powhatan Christmas Mother program. For the November meeting, members donated items to fill the bags, which were then taken to the Christmas Mother Headquarters. The Woman’s Club donated 43 bags, which will be distributed to local seniors with their Christmas gifts. The Christmas Mother’s Stockings and Senior Bags Committee chair Frances Morris, who oversees this portion of the program each year, expressed great appreciation to the club for lightening her load. Members of the club shown above, from left, are: Kathy Tornatore, Eileen Cook, Kay Watson, Margaret Murphy, Janet Hamrick, Antoinette Ashburn, Cathy Williamson, Sandy Hartley, Chris Haas and Carolyn Eagle.
DIABETES Continued from pg. 1
had been telling me,” Paula said. Davis did respond and spent the next three days in the hospital learning how to give himself insulin shots, how to use a glucose monitor to check his blood sugar levels, and basically learning all about managing Type 1 diabetes, his mom said. When she first heard Davis’ diagnosis, Paula said she was so surprised you could have knocked her over. Prior to that point, there was no family history of Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Diabetes Statistics Report 2020, an estimated 34.2 million people of all ages— or 10.5% of the U.S. population—had diabetes in the study year, 2018. Of those, Type 1 diabetes only accounts for 5% to 10% of all diabetes cases.
Davis took the news better than his mom. He knew someone in school with diabetes who seemed to be living a normal life, so he believed it could be possible for him to as well. Paula agrees her son took everything in stride. “I was more upset as his mom because you hate to see your child go through these types of issues,” she said. “He never missed a beat. His first question was, ‘Can I still play lacrosse?’” The answer, by the way, was yes he could and still does today. Davis, now a PHS senior, has been living with Type 1 diabetes for three years. And while yes, it does cause him to make adjustments, he is determined that it is not going to rule his life or define who he is as a person. And that is a big part of why the mother and son decided to share Davis’ story. Since November is National Diabetes Month, they started talking about the ways people react to the news of his condition.
Some want to handle him with kid gloves and don’t seem to grasp that what limitations he has can be managed and that he just wants to be treated like any normal teenager, Paula said. Some confuse his condition with Type 2
“I can play lacrosse. I just got accepted into college. I can still do the stuff I did before and it is not really having a toll on my life.”
Davis Bean, PHS senior diabetes, which can be managed and even reversed with diet and exercise as well as insulin. Currently, there is no cure for Type 1 diabetes; it can only be managed with regular injections of insulin. “His goal is letting people know that it is definitely not the end of the world. There have been
people who are almost scared to do things with him because they have no idea,” Paula said. “In their eyes now, I think they see him more as being fragile. While he does have certain limitations and while he does need a little bit more management on certain things, it doesn’t mean he can’t do what everyone else is doing.” “I can play lacrosse. I just got accepted into college. I can still do the stuff I did before and it is not really having a toll on my life,” Davis added. That is not to say he doesn’t have to make adjustments. Until about six months ago, Davis was wearing an insulin pump that regulated his levels. Problems between the medical supplier and insurance company have meant he hasn’t been able to get the supplies he needed to stay on the pump, so he had to go back to injections, which he does five or more times a day. The injections are definitely more inconvenient,
but Davis admits he has been more conscientious about what he eats since he went off the pump. He wears a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) on his abdomen that sends Davis and his parents updates on their phones every five minutes. Paula said she knows her son thinks she micromanages his condition too much – “Yes, 100%,” he piped up – but argues in turn that is a big part of the reason he has stayed healthy, maintained great grades, gone on church trips, played lacrosse and had a job. They are still discussing how these alerts will be managed when Davis goes to Bridgewater College as a freshman in fall 2022. The Beans are also active in raising awareness for the need to better fund diabetes research. They have formed a team, Davis’ Diabetes Destroyers, which will participate in the Central Virginia Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund Walk in May 2022 at Kings Dominion.
BOARD Continued from pg. 5
brought to the application process to make the board’s desired outcomes known from the start. Commercial zoning Bret Schardein, assistant county administrator, started a brief discussion about occupied General Commercial (GC) properties, which are in a transition district. Because of changes previously made regarding allowed uses in GC properties, some owners have had businesses leave, and when they try to bring in new tenants, find those uses are no longer allowed. Instead of rezoning many smaller cases as they become an issue, Schardein recommended the county proactively address the issues with those properties that fall in the board’s desired growth areas by upzoning them to Commerce Center (CC). With the board’s agreement, he proposed bringing the idea to the planning commission to work out a more definite plan that would then be brought back before the board. No formal vote was taken, but the board generally agreed for him to proceed. Electronic signage

The board had a brief discussion about whether it wanted to update or substantially change its position on electric signs for businesses, churches or others. The most important issue was whether the board wants to see electronic signs used anywhere except Route 60. A few supervisors pointed out that electronic signs along other roads in the county did not fit with their idea of a rural community. It was generally agreed that would stay the standard. The board asked staff to update some of the outdated language, especially in regard to signs being allowed in zoning districts that no longer exist, such as residential commercial (R-C), or ones that are being phased out such as commercial (C).

Program offers insight into WWII homefront By Laura McFarland Managing Editor
S
everal weeks ago, I was adding items to the Powhatan Today community calendar when I came across an intriguing event being offered through Powhatan County Public Library. As soon as I saw the name of the program, “Rosie the Riveter: The Homefront during WWII,” I knew I wanted to participate. The program was presented virtually by The Valentine Museum and explored the lives of women, both in Richmond and nationally, during World War II. The fact that it had a local focus was a huge point in this program’s favor. While I know there were some general experiences that were common to the homefront across the United States, I loved hearing the Richmond-specific information, such as the stories of local women or the images of Richmond businesses in the 1940s. Whitney Zahar, an educator for The Valentine Museum, led the presentation and did a fantastic job. Although it was held via Zoom instead of in person, the fact that she stopped multiple times along the way to ask participants questions or seek our perspectives made it feel more intimate. The full scope of Zahar’s presentation is actually too wide to cover in a single column because it touched on such a range of topics dealing with all that was involved with women entering the workforce in higher numbers during the war to replace the men serving in the military. We touched on the different types of jobs, childcare, women in the military, impacts on entertainment, rationing, war bonds and more, fully aware we were only scratching the surface of this subject. World War II really was a paradigm shift for many women on the homefront. We did take a look at some of the iconic images of “Rosie the Riveter.” One was a 1942 poster created by a Pittsburgh artist named J. Howard Miller for the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company.
Though it wasn’t as widespread at the time, it has since become one of the most iconic images associated with this character – Rosie clad in a bright red head scarf and blue coveralls and flexing her bicep. It was great to juxtapose that image with the Norman Rockwell drawing that ran on the cover of The Saturday Evening Post on May 29, 1943. This denim overall-clad Rosie had a riveter across her lap, a sandwich and lunch pail in her hands, goggles on her head and her feet resting on a copy of “Mein Kampf.” All the while, an American flag served as the backdrop for Rosie. The images were symbols of patriotism and an attempt to change public opinion about what kind of work was acceptable for women. We spent a good deal of time talking about the factory work that Rosie so aptly symbolized, but the program also touched on the wide variety of other ways women served their country. Talking about Richmond specifically, Zahar pointed out that among the typically “male” jobs women stepped into were taxi driver, trolley operator, elevator operator, draftsman, mechanic, barber, and more. We got to see original documents and a photo of Mary Elizabeth Cobb at work as a welder. I found it interesting that her welding certificate listed her as Mrs. Carlton C. (Mary E.) Cobb, which is my modern sensibilities peeking through. But it also showed her welding testing stats and a note from her instructor that said she was “a good, capable and industrious trainee.” Her Richmond Engineering Co. Inc. employee identification card was also featured. We saw documents for Ann Louise Clarke, who served in the Red Cross Motor Corps, and according to one of the documents we saw, was authorized to drive at least a 1.5-ton cargo truck. She went on to graduate from the College of William and Mary, retired after more than 30 years from the Defense General Supply Center, and lived to be 95. I have always associated the USO and pinup girls with World War II, but Zahar showed us an image that
Enthusiasm with intention makes for a great game By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
Sportable is an adaptive sports club in Central Virginia that provides an opportunity for athletes with disabilities to participate and compete in a variety of sports for both youths and adults. They fill a void that many are unaware even exists, but to a dedicated community of enthusiasts, they provide an opportunity to excel and pursue goals once thought unachievable. Even more than that, it gives handicapped athletes the chance to feel just like the rest of us and enter a world where no one stares and even fewer take notice of physical disabilities. Sportable creates this special place through a dedicated staff, committed volunteers and compassionate coaches who administer programs in a variety of adaptive sports. Founded in 2005, the club has served hundreds of adults and children with physical disabilities and provided them with a renewed sense of confidence and a willingness to look far past what they can’t do, and concentrate on what they can. The athletes who compete form valuable relationships and serves as a learning tool for the general public by exposing their talents. It all adds up to what those who are acquainted with the club know as the Sportable Way, a special approach that embodies team spirit, integrity, passion and ingenuity. And those lucky enough to attend these events always leave with a new understanding of people with physical limitations. They somehow gain strength and under-
standing by watching the enormous efforts displayed by these athletes. They marvel at the obstacles they must overcome to score a goal or sink a bucket. More importantly, they realize that people with disabilities are no different than those without, which fosters a more inclusive attitude. My son Jack has participated in power soccer for several years. Thanks to the kindness of many friends, he has a special chair designed just for soccer. It’s his first season with the new chair and he’s made good use of it. Last weekend was my first opportunity to attend an event this season and get to see firsthand Jack and his new chair on the pitch. His team, The Hive, were taking on the perennial champs from the Tidewater area. The game was exciting, but Tidewater’s experience proved too much for the younger players from Richmond. But, in all honesty, there were no losers last Saturday. The real victory was achieved when the determination and courage displayed by these special athletes touched everyone in the gym. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it didn’t take long to get the crowd involved as they applauded each fancy move, or perfect cross and exploded with each goal. It was a different type of elation as the audience noticed each action and acknowledged each one appropriately. The excitement of the action was wonderful, but I couldn’t help but notice the see ENTHUSIASM, pg. 10

showed another area where women were employed to entertain the troops. Apparently churches worked to entice soldiers and sailors to attend services by doing so with a pretty girl on their arm. The photograph she showed had servicemen exiting a place where Methodist services were held accompanied by young women. A placard outside the building reads, “If You Want to Go TO HEAVEN … Go to Church With AN ANGEL! Girl Escorts at 10:30.” I’m still smiling about this as I write the column a few days after the program. Zahar delved a little into the impacts the war had on women’s fashion, particularly those working in industrial plants. Soon the pants that were a necessity at work influenced the fashion outside of work. She showed an ad demonstrating the wrong and right way to dress for “feminine safety,” including blue jeans or overalls, hair worn up and covered, no jewelry, a “man’s jacket” of leather or heavy material, no cuffs on the pants, and low-heeled work shoes. The language in the ad was a little hard to swallow from a modern perspective – “Miss Shipbuilder has learned too, that war is mighty serious business, that ships aren’t being built for fun and that peace-time glamour along with spare tires and breakfast in bed is out for the duration” – but the content was nevertheless still fascinating. The topic would have been captivating anyway, but with this column coming out about two weeks ahead of the 80th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor, exploring another aspect of life during World War II seemed especially timely. Since I couldn’t have taken time off in the middle of my workday to drive downtown to The Valentine Museum to attend a program like this, I also want to give a special shout out to the library for offering programs that assist me in my desire to be a lifelong learner.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R No more denying CRT may be in Virginia’s schools Dear Editor, To those who deny existence of CRT and its variants in school curricula, please accept as evidence the books currently recommended to Virginia’s teachers and staff by the Virginia Department of Education. Such titles as: “How to Be Antiracist” by Ibra X. Kendi, or “We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom” by Bettina Love or “Foundations of Critical Race Theory” by Lindsey, Robins, Terrell, and D. B. Lindsey. You can see the complete list by going to: https://www.virginiaisforlearners.virginia.gov/ what-we-are-reading/. As a preamble to the referenced reading list the VDOE’s Office of Equity and Community Engagement states: “Virginia’s #EdEquityVA work is informed by literature, best practice, and research. Below are the resources the Office of Equity and Community Engagement references in the development of our work, as well as texts we recommend:” It is imperative to acknowledge the pervasive reality of CRT and the theories it advances so often vailed by “motherhood and
apple pie” terms like “equity,” “community engagement,” “educational freedom” or “socialemotional-learning.” Simply being on a list does not suggest the recommended titles are being read by Powhatan’s teachers or necessarily applied in their classrooms. However, when such a list predominantly advances one set of beliefs or theoretical position it is reason enough for all to pause and take stock. This is especially true when the overarching theme advanced by those titles present skin color as a determinant of self-worth or employs such criteria to suggest a preferred position of one group over another. Certainly, the Powhatan School Board should be concerned with this recommended reading list and, at the very least, circumspect to the level of further inquiry. Further, the VDOE’s Office of Equity and Community Engagement, as part of the department’s “EdEquityVA” initiative, periodically sponsors teacher in-service programs where the listed titles are given visibility. And, if not recommended directly, it is apparent the VDOE is advancing positions that may well be at odds with the beliefs and wishes of Powhatan’s parents and citizenry at-large.

a tent outside the Village Building, located at 3910 Old Buckingham Road. The Rev. Cavell Phillips said this is the third year Unity Community Church has offered the Thanksgiving meal. Church members consider the meal a form of missionary work, because it is their calling to be God’s hands and feet on the Earth to show his love and extend a helping hand to others, he said. “Love is an action word. God showed his love for us when he gave his only begotten son. It is not enough for Unity Community Church to tell people in the community we love them; we have to show them, too,” Phillips said. For UCC’s meal, people will have the option of picking up a meal to go. They may also stay and sit at picnic tables nearby, or there will be limited seating inside the Village Building in the conference room. For more information, contact event coordinator Iris Brown at 804-297-8903 or visit http://ucc4me.org/. Graceland Baptist Church will hold its Thanksgiving Dinner Church from noon to 2 p.m. at the church, 975 Dorset Road. There will be meals to go, but church members are hoping many people will want to come inside and break bread together, said Greg LeMaster, associate pastor. “Our goal when folks come in is we make them feel comfortable,” LeMaster said. “Christians are known for our love and we flat out love on people. We know people are lonely and we want to flat out love on people and make them a friend.
A lot of the folks we have come now feel so loved on that they come every time.” Graceland offers a free monthly meal on the fourth Thursday of every month anyway, although that is an evening meal that usually begins at 5:30 p.m. The church makes the Thanksgiving meal, which is now in its fourth year, an afternoon event. The church will also have a short Bible story during the meal. All are welcome. The church is asking people to call ahead to make sure they have enough food. Call Greg LeMaster at 804-615-2632. Passion Community Church is also back with its sixth annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner, which will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Powhatan campus, 4480 Anderson Highway. After restrictions issued by the governor on social gatherings in 2020 led the church’s Thanksgiving meal to only offer to-go meals, PCC is thrilled to be offering an in-person option again this year, said Melinda Kinney, a volunteer who has coordinated the event for the last six years. Embracing that theme of togetherness, Kinney said the church hopes to have people eating family style so they can sit and talk. There will also be music and decorations. “I think the biggest impact is just not having to spend a holiday alone,” she said. “There are a lot of places that offer meals to people that can’t afford it. But to be able to offer that community as well – maybe they can afford a Thanksgiving dinner but they are going to eat it alone. To me it is that sense of community and a sense of being with others.

the House of Delegates and the State Senate. Based on board directions and other requests, the staff prepared a list with seven requests for legislative priorities: broadband - affordable access to high-speed internet services; Green Ridge Landfill; reimbursement for the local share of Department of Social Services administrative services; reimbursement for the cost of “No Excuse Absentee Voting”; requesting a Powhatan State Park staffing increase; requesting funding for Phases II and III of Powhatan State Park’s Master Plan, and relief from unfunded mandates. In the discussion about the different items, the board asked the staff to add more specific language about broadband asks; exploring greater protection for private water systems in regard to the landfill.

The paving of the gravel parking lot at the corner of Old Buckingham Road and Marion Harland Lane was once again before the board of supervisors, this time focused on a discussion about trees. The engineering firm working on the project recommended the removal of any existing trees that are located within the limits of the area that is proposed to be paved, said Ramona Carter, director of public works. Not removing them would mean losing part of the parking lot because of tree roots. Trees located within or near paved areas will typically extend roots to the gravel based under the pavement and compromise the pavement. Cox, who has argued all along that some or all of the three main trees under discussion should be preserved, continued that argument on Nov. 10. However, the other board members disagreed, and the board voted 4-1 in favor of removing the trees encroaching on the project area, with Cox the
only one dissenting. Toward the end of the discussion, a frustrated Karin Carmack, District 5, said that the board of supervisors is a policy board. “Why are we sitting here talking about cutting down trees when this really should be something that, in my opinion, staff does they have the recommendation, they do (it). The fact that we are debating on what trees to cut down is pretty asinine,” she said. Cox pointed out that the paving of the parking lot is not needed; the project is a staff recommendation, which is why it has created as much discussion as it has. Christmas tree/park From one tree discussion to another, the board then moved to the topic of a county Christmas tree that will be located in the Village and used for a tree lighting following the Christmas Parade on Dec. 11.

to be quick and easy with a few board members saying Carmack could choose the location of the Christmas tree. However, discussion was extended when new board member McClung asked if a park that Carmack had originally suggested in connection with the Christmas tree could be brought back for discussion because he had many constituents who were in support of it. The discussion went in a few different directions as Cox wanted the park discussion to be a formal part of the capital improvement program (CIP) and have more specific engineering and budget numbers; Williams said he was open to a park but not a pollinator park, and Mike Byerly, District 3, wanted the park issue added as originally presented and a vote to be taken on Nov. 22. The board agreed to the Christmas tree moving forward and decided to put the park discussion on the agenda of Monday’s meeting, which happened after press time.

Voice of the Indians signs off after 20 years Chuck Wolf will miss informing, entertaining PHS football spectators By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
While the Powhatan Indians football team is expecting to see a lot of familiar faces return next season, they’ll be missing a recognizable voice coming from the stands. Chuck Wolf, Powhatan’s public address announcer for the last 20 years, called his last game for the Indians on Nov. 5 in the team’s 42-6 win at home against Cosby. Wolf, 57, is also leaving his position as the public address announcer for William & Mary football and basketball, a job he’s had for 25 years. His last game with William & Mary was on Saturday, Nov. 20. In his time calling games for the Indians, Wolf became a beloved and iconic voice for the school, earning praise for his energy and iconic third-down call. “When the other team’s offense has been forced to a third down by our defense, that third down call became a fun thing because the crowd really reacts and gets a lot louder,” Wolf said.

Above, Powhatan High School teacher Steve Washburn, left, presents public address announcer Chuck Wolf with a plaque after his last game in the booth on Nov. 5. Shown right, Chuck Wolf spends his last game in the booth and is joined by his wife, Lori Ann, and daughter, Ella.
Though Wolf was known for that infectious, crowd-pleasing energy on the microphone, he believes the goal was to never take the spotlight over what happened on the field, but to instead build on it. ”My theory is the public address announcer should be heard, but not bringing attention to themselves,” he said.
“They should be somebody who is feeding information and play-byplay to the audience who is witnessing it with their eyes so that it’s complimentary information, but it shouldn’t be about the announcer.” Wolf took the position when his children were about to enter Powhatan High School, and despite seeing multiple playoff
runs, dramatic finishes and even a state championship, he says that his favorite moment in the
booth is a personal memory of calling games with his daughter Ella contributing as his spotter.
“That was an awful lot of fun having her right there by my side,” Wolf see VOICE, pg. 2
Meet the editor: Fletcher shares love of sports By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
True story: when my mom introduces me as a sports writer to people, she always mentions that I learned how to read by looking at those small biographies on the back of football cards. It’s only partially true. I did do that a lot when I was a kid, but obviously it’s pretty unreasonable for me to have learned exclusively from football cards and somehow become a journalist. It makes for a good story though, and I think that’s why I wanted to tell it to you here.
I’ve always wanted to be a sports writer; it’s honestly never occurred to me to consider anything else as a career option. I realized at a pretty early age that I was probably not athletic enough to become a professional basketball player — although my legendary performances playing by myself in my driveway could’ve fooled anybody — but I knew I could write a compelling story, so that’s the craft I decided to focus on. While this is my second time as a sports editor after spending two years covering Virginia Tech athletics while I was a student
there, this opportunity feels a little different. I feel so much responsibility to accurately and effectively tell the story of the Powhatan and Goochland sports communities. Virginia Tech had countless publications and student journalists following every aspect of their athletic programs, see EDITOR, pg. 2 CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

C&F Banks Athletes of theof week C&F Bank’s Athlete the Week FOOTBALL ALL-STARS WHO: BSH KNIGHTS WHAT THEY DID: Blessed Sacrament Huguenot earned coach Gary Brock’s simple but powerful victory speech – “We’re No. 1!” – when the Knights dominated Kenston Forest on Nov. 13 to win the Virginia Independent Schools Football League Division II state championship. This was the team’s first state championship in football since 2013.
The Knights’ stunning 54-12 victory came only two weeks after losing to the same team – a loss that ended the team’s undefeated season. But the Knights came together and offered a stunning team performance on Nov. 13 to shut down the Kavaliers. The BSH offense was a powerhouse led by senior Harrison Lee, who was credited with 211 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, and senior Josh Decker, who brought home 81 yards and two touchdowns on 10 carries.
Sophomore Hunter Case added a touchdown. Senior Garrett Musselman saved two early fumbles by the Knights to help his team keep possession of the ball as well as keeping the Kavaliers’ quarterback off-balance with a multitude of QB hurries to go along with his team-leading 12 tackles. Various players also shone on defense, including Decker, Lee, David Mann, Gage Smith, Julian Alcazar, Nathan Roberts, Ethan Bishop and Afton Harrow.

Payten De Weese officially signs with Mount St. Mary’s softball By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor
A new addition in the outfield of Mount St. Mary’s softball team will be a familiar face for Powhatan softball fans. Payten De Weese, a senior at Powhatan High School, officially signed her National Letter of Intent on Nov. 10 to officially join the Mountaineers. De Weese had verbally committed to Mount St. Mary’s on Aug. 2. De Weese, who currently plays for the travel team Firecrackers NC-Wright, felt Mount St. Mary’s was the right fit for her both academically and athletically, with the school’s cyber security program being a driving force behind her decision. As for the softball side of her decision, she became familiar with the team and coaching staff after visiting the campus and

said. At his last game, Wolf not only had his daughter once again by his side in the booth, but his wife, Lori Ann Wolf, as well. Wolf was also honored with a plaque and ceremony for his dedication to the Powhatan football community. “I didn’t know that they were going to do anything,” Wolf said. “I didn’t ever do this for me, I did this to give something to the community. To know that you had an impact is incredibly gratifying.” Wolf will be replaced in the booth by Jonathan McNamara, a colleague and friend of his who has experience both as a play-byplay commentator and public address announcer for Powhatan athletics. While it’s hard to re-
going to a camp the school hosted. Working with head coach Anna Nagro, who has been a Division I coach for 11 years now, was also an exciting proposition. “I know I will have a lot of fun playing with her and the girls on the team,” De Weese said. Since she’s been committed since August, De Weese said she’s already gotten close to her new teammates in the incoming freshman class through her visits to the school as well as a group chat with the new Mountaineer signees. “All the girls up there are really close and really well-connected with one another, and we all just clicked like a family,” she said. Mount St. Mary’s finished the 2021 season with a 19-25 record and an 11-13 record in conference play.

place anyone as ingrained in the football community as Wolf has been for the past 20 years, he is confident in his successor to bring the same kind of energy to the stadium. As for his future, Wolf plans to move to North Carolina with his wife as they prepare for retirement. Still, with encouragement from his wife, he intends to look for more opportunities as a public address announcer. “I am interested in continuing, even if it’s in a substitute manner. My voice is still strong, and I have plenty left to give,” he said. Though Powhatan football will be missing an important aspect of what makes an Indians game great, the legacy of that booming voice in the press box will always be remembered.

and it was easy to get lost in a crowded media room. It’s much different with community journalism. I know that a lot of the time, I might be the only person telling one of your stories or providing consistent coverage of a team or athlete in this area. That’s a big job, and one I can’t wait to tackle. I want to do right by you, and I am extremely excited to learn more about the people that make this community unique. The opportunity to write for the Powhatan Today and The Goochland Gazette is a true privilege. I really feel like this is a massive step forward for me as a writer and as a storyteller.

He immediately hit the woods for the hunt of a buck. After only 15 minutes in a deer stand in Powhatan, his dreams of seeing a nice buck came true. As the buck circled his stand, Brody had the shot of a lifetime and he took it. The search was on and he found his 8-point buck with an 18-inch spread within 75 yards. By looking at the expression on Brody’s face, he has grown to love hunting.
Do you love sports? Do you love telling stories? Do you have the chops to write compelling tales – and to do so on a deadline? If so, Richmond Suburban News wants you! RSN is seeking sports correspondents (stringers in newsroom lingo) to help our staff cover the blizzard of events in the Hanover, Powhatan, and Goochland communities we serve. We feed on a steady diet of high school sports, with some college competition (in Hanover) and the occasional professional
event. The work is mostly nights and weekends. But we pay our correspondents in coin of the realm rather than the oft-promised “exposure.” We prefer people with some journalism training – published clips (even as a student reporter) are best – and need people who can consistently turn around compelling content on time and to the assigned length. For more information, contact sports editor Dave Lawrence at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

The Pawpaw in literature and American history By Virginia McCown Special to the Powhatan Today
The Pawpaw Patch Song (author unknown) Where oh where is dear little Nellie? Where oh where is dear little Nellie? Where oh where is dear little Nellie? Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch Come on, kids, let’s go find her Come on, kids, let’s go find her Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch Pickin’ up pawpaws, Put’em in your pocket Pickin’ up pawpaws, Put’em in your pocket Pickin’ up pawpaws, Way down yonder in the pawpaw patch.

of a rainbow. I began to wonder if Laura Ingalls Wilder, author of Little House on the Prairie books, sang The Pawpaw Song while growing up in the American West. Probably not. Most of Wilder’s childhood was spent just north of the pawpaw’s growing range. However, Wilder mentions 'luscious looking fruit I don't know’ in On the Way Home. Daughter Rose explains in a foot note how these luscious looking fruits were persimmons and pawpaws. Rose and other children collected these fruits on the trail from South Dakota to Mansfield, MO. Years earlier, the pawpaw was grown and eaten by Native Americans and helped feed members of the Lewis and Clark expedition. It’s also considered to have been a food source along the river bank areas of the Underground Railroad.
