Board debates need for facilitator By Laura McFarland News Editor

he shadow cast by a contentious year between Powhatan County’s Board of Supervisors and School Board was at the forefront of a resolution passed by the supervisors at their meeting on Monday, Dec. 15. The supervisors voted 3-2 in favor of a resolution that at its root authorized the hiring of a facilitator for a joint workshop be-

tween the two boards in 2015. The resolution authorized county administrator Pat Weiler to execute any documents related to organizing the meeting. At the heart of the debate were two issues – the question of whether the boards actually needed a third party to mediate between them and whether it was sound fiscally to have each board spend $3,000 – for a total of $6,000 – to hire the consultant. Board chairman Carson

Tucker, who represents District 5, Jason Moore, District 2, and Bill Melton, District 4, voted in favor of the resolution. David Williams, District 1, and Barry Hodge, District 3, voted against it. The supervisors discussed the decision both in their workshop and the meeting that followed. In introducing the issue, Tucker said one of the goals set out by the supervisors in their strategic plan was to work more collaboratively with the

school board going forward. He said he had spoken repeatedly with school board chairman Rick Cole, who represents District 1, about how to make that happen. The school division’s supplemental retirement program had become a bone of contention between the two boards in the last year before the supervisors voted to shut it down and then took control of it. The issue became con-

pranks. For two years in a row, a few ringleaders have led the charge in pranks that involved the decorations of older family members, according to Chad Adams, one of said ringleaders. But he is quick to point the finger at his wife, Lori, as the real mastermind behind the start of this relatively new tradition. see PRANKS page 3A

Performing Arts group passes the torch By Laura McFarland News Editor

he Performing Arts Foundation of Powhatan bowed out of existence this fall, but before it went, it made a farewell gesture that supported what the group was all about. Several board members of the 10-yearold nonprofit organization presented a check for its remaining funds – $9,000 – to the War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center on Friday, Dec. 12, according to Susan Ash, who founded the original group. While it hosted several events through the years, the Performing Arts Foundation never reached its main goal, which was to bring a cultural arts center to the county, she said. Now that the former War Memorial

Building has been taken over for just that purpose, Ash said the original group recognized a community of this size could not support two nonprofits with the same mission. “We chose them because they were doing what we wanted to do – that was build a community center for Powhatan. So what better place to give the money,” said Ash, who is also a board member of the War Memorial group. The gesture was a surprise for most members of the War Memorial group, who were simply asked to come to a small Christmas party. When Ash announced the $9,000 doSUBMITTED PHOTO nation, the shock was palpable, Karen Original and current Performing Arts Foundation of Powhatan members Ylimaki, secretary of the War Memorial who came to present a check to the War Memorial Cultural Arts and group, said.

Hit and run driver waives preliminary hearing By Laura McFarland News Editor

A Chesterfield man arrested in a hit and run of a Powhatan resident waived his right for a preliminary hearing last week and is set to have his case go before a grand jury in Chesterfield County in January. Carlos R. Hernandez, 34, of North Chesterfield has been charged with felony hit

and run involving a fatality. Hernandez allegedly hit Kevin S. Merryman, 28, of Powhatan with his vehicle and fled the scene on Saturday, Nov. 1. Merryman, who lived on Old Buckingham Road, was transported to the hospital where he later died. Hernandez waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Monday, Dec. 15 in a brief court appearance. His case will go before a grand

Williams said he was shocked at the idea of paying a facilitator. He commended members of both boards and their supporting staff for behaving professionally during meetings on the SRP. The boards disagreed on the issue, he said, but there are many issues where that will be the case. The boards and even individual members don’t have the luxury of not working with each other, he added. “I think we need to meet and we need to be speaking across the table as the elected representatives of this county and be the professionals that we are charged with to carry out our dues and responsibilities,” he said. The two boards will likely have to work together a great deal going forward as they discuss issues such as a facilities study that recommends a major school renovation of Powhatan Junior High School, Williams said. The only way the two boards can come to any understanding on the details of the facilities plan or how it fits into overall plans for the county is by discussing the issues face-to-face, he said. Hodge said the current boards have built a relationship in the last three years, and although they “got into some obvious difficulties over primarily the SRP and the budget issues” they still were able to meet and discuss them. He said he didn’t believe they had reached a point where they were so intractable that they weren’t able to “meet productively or at least meet and look at the issues and debate the issues.” If the standard they are supposed to be trying to reach is that they all agree, Hodge said he thinks they are “trying to achieve something that is unachievable.” “Just because we had our differences this past year does that mean we need to

jury on Tuesday, Jan. 20, according to Robert J. Fierro Jr., assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney of Chesterfield County. If Hernandez is indicted, a trial date will be set. Right now he is only being charged with the felony, but the Commonwealth’s Attorney Office is expected to add a charge of misdemeanor driving with no operator’s license, said Fierro,

spend $6,000?” he said. “Is that going to somehow patch of those differences? I don’t think money is the answer on that one.” Even putting the money aside, he argued against the premise that the board members’ professionalism couldn’t rise above the feelings of personal or institutional injury that the SRP fight may have caused. Melton said he had felt since SRP was shut down that the two boards needed to meet to air out their differences. The SRP itself is dead and the issue shouldn’t be revived, he said, but there were accusations made and “major things said.” Some people have said the issue wouldn’t be resolved until the election in November 2015, he pointed out. “We can’t wait for that. We have our jobs to do to provide funding for the schools – the right amount of funding,” Melton said. “We have a facilities study and we have to roll our sleeves up with them.” During the workshop, Moore said he had a little stress over needing a facilitator and is leery of spending the money because the boards should be able to talk. With that said, between his years first on the school board and now with the supervisors, he has seen plenty of instances where the two groups were simply “talking past each other.” He didn’t feel any personal injury from the SRP fight, but he could see where there might have been some institutional injury that they need help working past. Going forward with the joint workshop, the key is to make a workable and pliable agenda that will facilitate discussion, he said. Tucker said the two boards spent the better part of a year struggling with SRP and the issue of former school superintendent Margaret Meara and in the process exacerbated their relationship.

who is prosecuting the case. Hernandez, whose aliases include Carlos Perez-Reyes and Carlos ReyesHernandez, is currently being held without bond at Chesterfield County Jail. Merryman was riding his bicycle in the westbound lanes of Midlothian Turnpike when he was struck by a red Ford SUV. The crash occurred at about 6:05 a.m. on Nov. 1 in the 10800 block

of Midlothian Turnpike. The driver fled the scene but his license plate came off in the crash, according to Lt. Jack Kilcomons with the Chesterfield County Police Department. The maximum penalty for the felony charge Hernandez faces is 10 years with a fine of up to $2,500, HERNANDEZ Fierro said. The maximum penalty for the misdemean- jail with a fine of up to or charge is 12 months in $2,500.

“The name calling and blaming defocused us from the larger mission,” he said. “We said things and assumed things and exaggerated things on both sides of the table. “We hurt each other and we’ll have to live with those scars and try to rebuild some kind of relationship to deal with the financial difficulties this community faces, specifically regarding our impending deliberations on the operating budget, capital budget and deferred maintenance.” Members of the two boards need to make good on campaign promises of building better relationships and believing in each other’s good intent, he said. That will mean sometimes being silent to listen to the other person’s point of view,

but also acknowledging that none of them are evil or have a “lock on the truth,” Tucker said. As for hiring a facilitator, he said he wished it didn’t represent his belief that the two boards could not meet amicably without a neutral outsider, but it did. He felt a facilitator would bring a “calm, balanced discipline and focus on the deliverables.” “I’m asking us to show the strength to say we need help. We can do better. We can work through this,” he said. Williams, Hodge and Melton reiterated their points in the meeting before the vote was taken and the resolution passed. Weiler said a date has not been set for the meeting yet and a facilitator has not been hired.

“It’s all Miss Lori’s fault,” he stated emphatically on the night the family was resting after pulling off their newest prank. He was about to launch into the tale of how all this tomfoolery got started and wanted no doubts as to who is ultimately responsible. Lori just nodded her head in agreement. The fun started in December 2013, when Lori remarked to her husband that his uncle, Ted Adams, had a pretty Christmas decoration in his front yard in the form of a Christmas tree made of lights. Chad offered to buy one. Lori declined. “I said that’s alright, we’ll just take Uncle Ted’s tree,” she said. “ ‘Steal’ the tree is what you said,” Chad broke into her recounting in what would become their joint storytelling. The idea for the prank started with that simple comment. The night of Christmas Day, four members of the family dressed in black – “We went ninja,” Lori said – and stole the decoration from Uncle Ted’s yard while he and his wife, Shelby, were inside. Chad and Lori named their co-conspirators as Brandon Adams and Chris Walker, both family members. The ninjas didn’t go far though. They loaded the tree – which is not small by any means – in a trailer and drove down the street to the home of another of Chad’s

uncles, Larry Adams, and his wife, Juanita. The pranksters ran an extension cord and set up the tree, all while the homeowners were inside unaware what has happening in their yard. The next morning, Uncle Ted and Shelby woke up and noticed the missing tree when she went out to get the paper, Chad said. While Uncle Ted may have suspected some of his family members, Shelby called the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office, concerned the tree was so close to the house when it was taken without them realizing it. When a deputy arrived, he had the wherewithal – or possibly knowledge of the Adams family – to suggest taking a ride down the street, Chad said. Not long after, he came back reporting the tree was found in Larry and Juanita’s yard. Uncle Ted went with the deputy to the unsuspecting couple’s house and Chad subsequently received a call at work from Juanita asking if he might know the reason the police were at her door. She didn’t realize that Uncle Ted was outside out of sight or that he had been egging on the deputy to put Larry in handcuffs, Chad said. In the end, the tree was returned, apologies were exchanged and the younger generation of Adams bided their time until the next holiday season. “Uncle Ted said, ‘You know, for all the trouble this has been, this has been one of the best Christmases

I have had in a long time,’ ” Lori said. It was all the encouragement the pranksters needed.

Twice makes it a tradition Not ones to be daunted by obstacles such as police investigations, Lori and Chad decided that Larry and Juanita needed to be the focus of a prank in Christmas 2014. The planning started early, and what they came up with was a direct result of Larry and Juanita having not decorated the outside of their house for Christmas, Chad said. When they heard the older couple had gone on a Christmas tacky light tour in Richmond and Juanita had loved it, the light bulb turned on for Lori. “I said we have to put tacky stuff in their yard,” she recalled. Chad went on Craig’s List and found someone selling more than 25 large Christmas yard inflatables. He wheeled and dealed and bought them all. When they tried them out, 22 of them worked. Fast forward to the night of Wednesday, Dec. 10. Chad and Lori had by now recruited the help of many other family members to help put up the decorations while Larry and Juanita were at church. It was a bitterly cold and windy night, but the 11 participating adults managed to get the inflatables up in about two hours. The cast of characters on the front

this point he had mostly stopped shaking his head and was smiling, too. The night almost ended on a sappy note, with Chad telling Larry and Juanita that everyone who participated in the prank did it with love. But the question of a possible Christmas 2015 prank still loomed. “That’s classified,” Chad said with a diabolical grin. “The next victim has been picked,” Lori confirmed. Watch out ,Adams family.

and could be heard saying “I’ve never seen such.” Aside from calling her relatives a “crazy bunch” and briefly wondering where they had stolen the decorations from, Juanita said she liked the finished product. “It looks good. It looks funny,” she said. “We’ve never had that many lights up ever.” Larry said he started to wonder what was going on when he spotted the lights a quarter mile down the road. “The closer I got, the worse it got,” he said.

lawn included Santa, his reindeer, snowmen, Tigger, Winnie the Pooh, a nutcracker soldier, penguins, Homer Simpson, a polar bear, a Dalmatian puppy and an igloo. The pranksters did take the consideration of setting up extension cords and a generator for most of the decorations to keep from causing a spike in the utilities bill. The crowning glory of the prank centered around a special surprise that was more evident in daylight. Since Larry and Juanita are renovating their bathroom, the pranksters took the toilet outside and connected it by a string of lights to the roof, where a large inflatable Santa is perched on the edge. “There was no rhyme or reason,” Chad said. “We were trying to make it as tacky and fun as possible. It is all about having fun with the family. Aunt Juanita and Uncle Larry are like my second parents.” The surprise could have been spoiled by Juanita making a brief stop at home and seeing her family working on the house. However, she didn’t see the finished product until later, and since she actually wanted decorations, Chad said, the focus seemed to really be about surprising Larry. “She won’t tell,” her son Jarrad Adams predicted as the pranksters waited for the couple to return. “She doesn’t know her toilet’s in her front yard either,” Lori said. It is at this point that Jarrad’s wife, Mandy, pointed out for the third time that she wasn’t outside with the pranksters. She was inside working on decorations. OK, she held one rope, she admitted, but other than that she was inside. “We have a lot of fun. We laugh a lot. We pick a lot,” she said. Finally, the pranksters’ patience was rewarded with the arrival of Larry, Juanita and, thanks to a call to him saying come over, Uncle Ted. Uncle Ted arrived first

scenes for laboratory examination. The students become familiar with the capabilities and limitations of the modern forensic laboratory in the examination of the broad spectrum of materials that can be collected as evidence in criminal cases. The vigorous nine-week course provides students with the necessary background information and practical application techniques which, when coupled with the

student’s previous experience, permit maximum utilization of forensic science in the apprehension and prosecution of criminals. Students experience simulated crime scenes and are taught proper techniques in the areas of photography, arson evidence, toxicology, forensic biology, fingerprint evidence, trace evidence, tool marks, firearms evidence and bullet trajectory, crime scene sketching, evidence law, impression evidence, drug recognition and criminal investigative analysis.

mented once ‘If my grandma is speeding, I am writing her a ticket, too.’ ” It soon became evident to her that what mattered most to him was his love of God and cherishing his family, Reynolds said. Joshua said he has heard that about his dad from many people over the years, especially how serious the man was about his faith. After Joshua Barner graduated from the academy and people heard about him following in his father’s footsteps, he received a surprise in the mail one day. It was a small Bible sent to him by an attorney in Chesterfield. The attorney had received it from a client given a ticket by Robert Barner. A note inside the Bible said, “I knew the book needed to be rejoined with the badge.” The state police Area 6 office, which also encompasses Powhatan, Chesterfield and Amelia, was a close-knit group, and Robert Barner’s diagnosis and death hit everyone hard, Holland said. The troopers made sure to stay involved with the family through the years, he said. The fact that Area 6 troopers looked out for the Barners like they were family always hit home for Joshua. He said he was happy to do his six-week probation ridealong in Powhatan, where his father worked and he grew up. “It was a lot of fun. That is where I grew up. I enjoy it out there,” he said. “I learned a lot of new things.” Before the trooper graduated, Holland said he was contacted by Sgt. Jim McCue with the academy about the possibility of Joshua Barner getting his father’s badge number. “It wasn’t an easy administrative process because someone already had that badge. That is your identity,” Holland said. However, when the trooper who had the badge heard the reason for the request, he understood the significance and agreed. So now badge number 1627 is once again on the chest of a state trooper named Barner. “I was very proud of both of them and proud of that family. I am proud they are part of our state police family,” Holland said.

claimed “Wow,” “Merry Christmas” or “Thank you” while others were speechless. The gift is a huge boost for the War Memorial group, whose members have been counting every penny, she said. “We can breathe a little easier because we have a little money,” Ylimaki said. “You still have to watch your money because with a building like this you can always have something happen.” The War Memorial Building has had a significant amount of work done to it since the new nonprofit took it over earlier this year, Ylimaki said. Work already completed includes removing trash, doing a thorough cleaning, power washing and painting the exterior, painting parts of the interior, purchasing new fire extinguishers and installing new carpet and blinds in the front rooms. And there is still a great deal more to do, she said. Fundraising will continue to be an ongoing process, Ylimaki said, but the gift from the Performing Arts Foundation offers a nice “cushion,” Ylimaki said. While the foundation members weren’t exactly excited about shutting the group down, they recognized that giving their resources to the War Memorial group strengthens the new organization and helps it accomplish more for the community in the long run, Ash said. That was always the goal – to bring cultural opportunities to the county for residents, Ash said. She came up with the idea to start a group, and in September 2004, several local residents first met to discuss the possibilities. Over the next year they worked toward becoming a nonprofit foun-

dation, and on Nov. 8, 2005 Performing Arts Foundation of Powhatan was granted its 501c3 status. The inaugural event was held at the Mill at Fine Creek with a musical performance by the Shanghai Quartet, Ash said. “It was sold out. It was wonderful.” In the years that followed, the group held events featuring musical acts such as the Richmond Symphony and the Latin Ballet, offered a Jazz n’ July at a different historical home each year, organized A Taste of Powhatan and sponsored a Student Art Month exhibit each March. Over time a committee developed called Fine Arts of Powhatan, which was devoted to artists for the purpose of meeting monthly for fellowship, education and exhibiting, Ash said. “I pulled together people and we started out just putting on performances at various places around the community with the hope that within five to 10 years we could find a building or build a building to become a cultural arts center,” she said. “At that time in Powhatan, there were very few musical offerings. Now there are so many.” As more organizations produced more musical events in the county, the competition only increased, she said. “We could not find a space or pull the capital funds together to raise money for a cultural arts center. In the end the timing wasn’t right,” Ash said. She added that it is the right time for the War Memorial group and she is excited to see what opportunities it will bring to Powhatan. “At the end of the day, it isn’t that our organization closed. It was that we helped another organization get on its feet and continue,” she said.

2014 oﬀered highs and lows By Laura McFarland News Editor

n the eve of Christmas and with the start of the new year only about a week away, it is a natural time to start reflecting on the year that is about to come to a close. For me, the year is split into two times: before Powhatan County and after Powhatan County. For those who don’t remember, January through May were spent as a reporter in Winchester. Since starting work for Powhatan Today on the Tuesday after Memorial Day, life has been a whirlwind of getting to know the county and working hard to do an admirable job representing life and the people here. A series of ridealongs with the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office served as an introduction to the highway and byways that make up the county. The outings offered an interesting perspective to a newcomer learning some of the history and culture of the area, and, hopefully, the columns did the same for readers. For anybody who has not gotten in their car and simply driven around to take a look at the county, it is a fascinating experience no matter what time of year. In fact, doing it multiple times a year, especially if you have children, is a good way to see how life is always changing. The Powhatan County of spring and summer has a different feel from its fall

look and any possible snow we experience will bring change yet again. One caution though. Pay attention to where you are going and drive safe. Attending major Powhatan County events such as a Village Vibe concert, the Labor Day parade, the Festival of the Grape and the Christmas parade were a great way to see residents relax and have fun. All of those events were highly focused on what Powhatan has to offer and celebrating life here. And judging

by the fact that there were people from other areas in attendance at all of those events, it is evident that the county has an appeal for all. Government meetings – both Powhatan County’s Board of Supervisors and School Board – are a staple in the news editor’s life. Those first few months of attending meetings offered an introduction to the way the county runs and the people who make it happen. In one respect, the experience also

served as a reminder to the way communication can be lost. This refers to watching the rancor that had developed between the two boards on the issue of the school system’s supplemental retirement program. A joint workshop will be planned for early next year to have the two boards hash out what is needed in order to continue offering quality education to Powhatan County students. Hopefully, all 10 board members will come to the table in 2015 committed to working together for the betterment of the county they all call home. The county has witnessed first-hand the uncertainty of economic times with the closing of the Powhatan Main Correctional Center, leading to the loss of several hundred jobs. Some of those were our neighbors, who saw their jobs disappear only weeks before Christmas. At the same time, new businesses are seeing the attraction of the county and there have been several grand openings in recent months with more to come. There also have been new enhancements to make life in the county that much better – the development of the War Memorial Cultural Arts and Community Center, the delightful upgrade to much of Fighting Creek Park’s playground equipment and the dedication of the walking trails. Spending at least part of 2014 learning about Powhatan County and the people who call it home has been a privilege. I look forward to continuing that relationship in 2015.

CHASING THE GRINCH By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

s we get older, it becomes harder and harder to feel that magical feeling we usually associate with the holiday season, an elusive state of mind called the Christmas spirit. During the holidays, it’s easy to accelerate to a pace that leaves no time for the smell of a freshly cut Christmas tree or that wonderful aroma that comes from a kitchen full of Christmas cookies. The pressures of finding just that right gift, making sure all the wrapping is done, and finding just the right lights for that tree sometimes leave no time for the real celebration of the season. It’s difficult to recapture the spirit that you so clearly remember as you walked down the steps on Christmas morning to what seemed like a never-ending supply of presents spread across the floor, but it’s out there waiting to be rediscovered. I felt a twinge of it when we sat along the river and watched a parade of decorated boats begin our holiday season. The smell of apple cider with a strategically placed stick of ginger, the warmth of a roaring fire or the sounds of carolers singing familiar sounds of the season all combined to assist my family in forgetting the frantic schedule and enjoying a few minutes of the spirit of Christmas. The nest evening we trekked to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens and strolled through the wonderland of lights and glittering displays, all choreographed to the sounds of the season. Again, I noticed that twinkle in the eyes of my children that can only mean one thing: The Christmas spirit has arrived and the looks on their faces confirm what generations of parents have noticed. Nothing excites more than the anticipation of Christmas morning. It’s even more refreshing to see something else in their swagger as they make final preparations for the holidays. It’s a feeling you and I had as a child, long before the responsibilities of adulthood hardened us to the joys of the holiday season. It’s written across their rosy cheeks, for no one can deny a child the joy of Christmas … and even a 64-year-old can find that Christmas spirit if you look hard enough. P.O.

County to sign cable agreement with Comcast By Laura McFarland News Editor

he Powhatan County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a new franchise agreement between the county and Comcast at its meeting on Monday, Dec. 15. The agreement was discussed more in detail in the board’s workshop before it was approved unanimously by the board at the meeting. March Altman, deputy county administrator, and Tom Lacheney, county attorney, addressed several questions about the agreement that had come up during previous discussion of the agreement, which would last for 10 years. The current agreement, which expired about four years ago, was for a 15-year term and was originally signed with a now defunct cable company with services eventually being taken over by Comcast, Lacheney said. One point of the contract Altman pointed out was the county getting free video connections in government buildings. However, that relied on the closest connections to the Village Building for broadcast purposes, he said. The closest connection is 1,400 feet away, he said. Comcast agreed to be responsible for the first 200 feet with the county footing the bill for the rest for a total of about $11,000. He pointed out that a 50-cent monthly PEG fee that would come to the county would generate about $21,000 for the county annually. PEG fees are related to public, educational, or governmental use channels. Comcast is also offering a technology grant of $3,000, Lacheney said. Other items discussed included keeping the Powhatan County Comcast office for at least three years or until an office can be located within 10 miles of the county, getting three public access channels for the county, and grandfathering existing residences in a rule that says if there are 15 homes in a linear mile, Comcast have to provide coverage. Other business handled at the supervisors’ workshop and meeting included: Deferring action on an ordinance amending and reenacting Chapter 68, Subdivision Ordinance, of the Powhatan

County Code of Ordinances. The lone public hearing for the night was on the proposed amendment that would revise and clarify procedures and standards for the subdivision of property within Powhatan County and establish compliance with the Code of Virginia. Although county staff, the planning commission and now the board of supervisors have been working on the ordinance for quite a while, the county received several comments from concerned individuals in the development and survey community shortly before the meeting, Altman said. Based on the detailed concerns being brought to county staff, he recommended deferring a vote on the ordinance until they had another chance to go through it and address the concerns brought up by residents. Woody Cofer, Doug Bradbury and Edward Burris, all of Powhatan, addressed the board and reiterated Altman’s request for a deferral. The board agreed. When asked if there were any comments, Jason Moore, who represents District 2, called the reinstitution of the ordinance the “Affordable Care Act of Powhatan.” He said that even if the staff addresses all of the concerns raised, he still fears that when it comes time for application, issues will crop up that were not anticipated. “Not through any lack of effort but just because when you pass something that is 95 pages and has as many addendums and changes as it has gone through to get to what it is now even, you are going to miss something. You are not going to see the application all the way through,” he said. Discussing several ordinance requests. Altman presented to the board an application for a conditional use permit (CUP) to Southside Electric Cooperative to construct a 143-foot monopole telecommunications tower and related equipment on Three Bridge Road. A request has been made to rezone a property on Old Buckingham Road from commercial to agricultural. The applicant, Billy J. and Mary K. Payne, said they have a 2,500-square-foot metal shop with an attached 250-square-foot storage building that has historically been used as an automobile and farm machinery repair shop. They want to use it to repair farm equip-

ment and the storage of farm equipment. The board was presented to items dealing with Fine Creek Mill. One was a request for a 5.45-acre parcel at 2425 Robert E. Lee Road be rezoned from rural residential to agricultural. The rezoning related to a CUP request to use the parcel for a country inn with up to 20 rooms in the form of small cottages with guest registration in the existing historic general store, a private event/meeting room, a micro-brewery with a tasting room and culinary gardens. Public hearings were set for the items at the supervisors’ next meeting on Monday, Jan. 5. Authorizing county administrator Pat Weiler to take several actions. Weiler was granted authority to negotiate and execute a contract with the most responsive bidder to a general real estate reassessment. The board had previously budgeted and appropriated $120,000 of general fund revenue in the fiscal year 2015 budget for reassessment services. The county only had three bids. The winner of the bid had not been decided on at the time of the meeting, but Wampler-Eanes Appraisal Group, Ltd. was announced as the winner on Friday, Dec. 19. Weiler was authorized to execute a memorandum of understanding with Dominion Resources Services Inc., which has developed a pilot program called “Roadmap to Economic Development” to assist small jurisdictions with development of a coordinated economic development efforts. The county will receive a $25,000 grant to assist with the creation of an economic development strategic plan. Altman said the program will be tried in Powhatan and possibly rolled out to others on how it goes. That $25,000 will represent half of the $50,000 the board appropriate on Oct. 6 to develop an economic development strategic plan. The county received 17 proposals to its requests for proposals for an economic development strategic plan. The winning company was not revealed at the meeting. Recognizing the 2014 Powhatan County Clean Business Award recipient, Capital Management Advisory Inc. The Powhatan Anti-Litter Council voted on the 14th recipient of the Clean Business

Award at its December meeting, choosing Capital Management Advisory “for its outstanding service to Powhatan County, and for its positive impact on the quality of life of Powhatan County residents.” Ron Smith accepted the award on behalf of the company. Hearing a presentation on the Fiscal Year 2014 Auditor’s Report. Leslie Roberts, partner with Dixon Hughes Goodman LLP, said that overall the county’s audit went “extremely well” and finished on time. She commended county staff for being well prepared. “You’ve got another clean opinion on your financial statements,” she said. Roberts told the board she would touch on items in the audit at a high level rather than going into detail. The county had no findings in compliance with financial reporting, compliance with federal programs and compliance over laws, regulation contracts and grants. Listening to a public comment. Katrina Blankenship of Powhatan came before the supervisors for the third time to ask Jason Moore, who represents District 2, to recuse himself from voting on any issue since he is running for Commonwealth’s Attorney. She also took issue with the board’s transparency over passing a consent agenda rather than going through the items individually and with them hiring “too many consultants.” Authorizing a consent agenda with various components. Within its meeting, the board passed a consent agenda with seven components. Among those were a resolution to requesting state road acceptance by the Virginia Department of Transportation for the streets in The Preserve at Huguenot Springs subdivision; a resolution amending the Fiscal Year 2015 Powhatan County Operating Budget by budgeting and appropriating $500,000 of capital lease proceeds for the purchase of a fire tanker for Company 2; authorizing the county administrator to execute documents with the HoustonGalveston Area Council (HGAC) for cooperative purchasing where available and practicable, and approving Friday, Dec. 26 and Friday, Jan. 2 as additional holidays for county employees.

Coming into this season, Powhatan High School wrestling coach Jonathan Tanaka had never witnessed a regular season match in the Indians’ home gym. That changed last Wednesday evening, as Tanaka looked on with pride as his team bullied its way to a deci-

that night, but has since been pushed back to the Senior Night on Jan. 28, 2015. “It’s been almost three years since we had a home match, so just to have our kids come out and wrestle in this environment is a big deal,” said Tanaka. “Only two kids on the team have wrestled a home match before. I think you could tell our team was really excited about coming out here and having their friends and family in the stands to support them. It’s a big deal for them and it’s a big thing for our community.” The Indians’ first varsity victory of the night came in the 145-pound division, when Bailey Coates defeated Cumberland’s Josh Deisen by way of injury default. Deisen landed hard on his right shoulder and stayed down on the mat for several moments, in obvious pain. After being examined by Powhatan trainer Mike Puglia

during the week of Dec. 8, Blessed Sacrament girls’ basketball player Abby Sill scored a total of 29 points – 12 in a loss to Amelia Academy on Dec. 9 and 17 in a victory over

Chance Morris (top) and Logan Allen were Powhatan High School’s representatives on the South team at the second annual Big River Rivalry, a Richmond area football all-star game put on by the Touchdown Club of Richmond. The South lost a tight game, 28-27.

– won their respective matches by way of pin. The level of Powhatan dominance in those exhibition matches provided an apt prelude to the Indians dominance during the varsity competition. Throughout the week, the wrestling team actively attempted to garner interest in the team’s first home match since the 2012-13 season. Tanaka, a math teacher, even offered his students extra credit to come to the match. The extensive efforts seemed to pay off, as the competition was well-attended and the fans were involved in the action from the first exhibition match (a pin by Smith) through the final varsity one (a win by E. Jordan), a time span of a little less than an hour. “We tried to build some spirit,” said Tanaka. “Hopefully some people that have never seen wrestling before came out here and liked it. The sport has been [at PHS] since 2003, but it’s relatively new in the grand scheme of things. Just having some people come out and see what it’s all about – and for our guys to get a win – is a big deal.” After the match, as Tanaka’s students approached him and asked him

to sign off on their extra credit sheets, the second-year head coach reflected on what his team needs to do to continue the success they enjoyed in the first home match of the Tanaka Era. “We have Elijah and we know what he’s capable of, it’s just a matter of getting the other wrestlers to believe that they have the ability to compete at the varsity level,” said Tanaka. “Every win builds confidence and hopefully that leads up to postseason.”
