Local dog wins at Westminster

OWHATAN – A Powhatan County redbone coonhound named Dixie won a best in breed award at the 140th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in New York City last week.

On Monday, Feb. 15, Dixie became the first female dog to win best in breed at the Westminster Show for the redbone coonhound category.

Owned by husband and wife, John Kochensparger and Susan DellaPenta, who reside in Powhatan, Dixie was born in Kentucky at the Twisted Creek kennel and goes by the stage name “Gentlemen, Start Your En-

County staffers speak out on losing benefits

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – Three of the constitutional officer employees set to lose a significant amount of county benefits by the end of the year recently shared how the change stands to negatively impact their lives.

Barbara Hutchison, chief deputy clerk, and Darlene Tyler and Rene Holy, deputy clerks, are three of the five employees who staff the office of Teresa Hash Dobbins, clerk of the Powhatan County Circuit Court.

They are also three of the five set to lose several key parts of what they have always considered their benefits package after their boss, county administrator Pat Weiler and the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors failed to reach an agreement earlier this month.

Dobbins was the only one of Powhatan’s five constitutionals who did not sign an agreement that would have extended the county’s personnel system to her one part-time and four full-time employees but only if she agreed to certain terms. The agreement between the board and constitutional officers was referred to as a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in previous stories and still is by some people.

Charges pending for pastor in attempted voter fraud case

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – A local pastor who was charged with attempted voter fraud in the 2015 General Election had his case continued last week and will see all charges dropped in six months if he “keeps the peace.”

Curtis W. Blankenship of Powhatan appeared in Powhatan General District Court on Friday, Feb. 19 and received a general continuance on a Class 6 felony charge of attempted voter fraud. A Class 6 felony is the lowest class of felony.

BLANKENSHIP Special prosecutor D. Michael Caudill said that if Blankenship “keeps the peace and is of good behavior” until the general continuance date of Aug. 12, the prosecutor would enter an order then to dismiss the charges.

Judge Ray P. Lupold III, 11th District General District Court Judge, accepted the terms agreed upon by the prosecutor and Blankenship’s defense attorney Thomas Gordon.

Blankenship, who is pastor of Cumberland Baptist Temple in Cumberland County, left the courtroom with family members and a large group of supporters.

Caudill, who is the deputy commonwealth’s attorney in Goochland County, said there was probable cause to charge Blankenship in relation to the incident, which occurred at a Powhatan polling station on Nov. see CHARGES page 4A

Man convicted in group of break-ins

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – A Henrico man was convicted last week of seven felonies in connection with break-ins that occurred over two nights in summer 2015 in Powhatan County.

Hassan Atkins, 18, of Henrico, was convicted in a jury trial on Wednesday, Feb. 10 on three counts of breaking and entering,

OďŹƒcer Continued from page 1A

On Monday, Feb. 1, the board of supervisors had voted 4-1 in favor of adopting a resolution officially offering the agreements to the constitutional officers to sign and saying if they didn’t sign by Feb. 8, their employees would only receive compensation board provided benefits, which are considerably less than is offered by the county.

Despite all five constitutional officers opposing the board signing the resolution asking for the agreements, the sheriff, commissioner of the revenue, commonwealth’s attorney and treasurer did end up signing them the week of the Feb. 8 deadline.

Dobbins, the lone holdout, has spoken openly about the negotiations and expressed that she believes her office is being singled out.

Meanwhile, board chair Bill Melton continued to say that the issue of the agreement is a simple issue that has become misrepresented and misunderstood.

Dobbins’ staff members have thus far been reluctant to comment, but last week, three of them decided to weigh in on a topic that, of all the people involved, has the most impact on them. All three women said they stood behind Dobbins and her decision not to sign despite the consequences for them.

Consequences Hutchison, an employee since September 2011, said she has more than 500 hours accrued vacation and sick leave hours she was told she would lose if not used by Dec. 31, 2016. “There is no way that I can use 500 hours and not have my co-workers suffer the consequences, and I’m not including time they

three counts of grand larceny and one count of possession of tools to commit burglary, all of which are felonies, according to Rob Cerullo, Powhatan County’s deputy commonwealth’s attorney, who prosecuted the case.

A sentencing date has not been set for Atkins, who is currently out on bond, but will be chosen at the next docket call on April 12, Cerullo said. He added that he does not know what minimum sentencing guidelines will

have earned and need to take off,� she said. “Does this translate in the fair and equitable treatment of all employees? Is this in the best interest of the county?�

Holy said she had the same reaction. She has vacation and sick leave she accrued working for the county since April 2014, and the idea that it will be taken away is incomprehensible. “How is that fair? The county attorney said it best during our meeting, ‘we (clerk’s office staff) are the children caught in a nasty divorce,’ � Holy said.

Added to the list of things the employees stand to lose is the possibility of a salary raise. The resolution signed by the supervisors specifically says the employees would not have a reduction in salary below what they were paid on Dec. 31, 2015, if it is greater than prescribed by Virginia law.

However, county attorney Tom Lacheney met with the clerk’s staff on Feb. 12 to review what benefits they would lose if Dobbins still does not sign an agreement, and they were informed they would not receive any more state raises above the compensation board level, Holy said.

They were also told they would not be included in Phase 2 of the Classification and Compensation Plan, which is aimed at bringing county employees’ salaries to a more competitive range compared with other localities. “The MOU agreement has been anything but fair and equitable to all employees as stated by the board of supervisors,�

Holy said. “Last year, our office experienced this first hand by being excluded initially in the Comp and Class Phase I pay raise.�

In that instance, in which Dobbins had not signed a previous incarnation of the agreement, the exclusion was later fixed

Atkins was 17 at the time the break-ins occurred on Aug. 23 and 24, 2015. Cerullo said Atkins had to be certified as an adult based on the crimes in question and his juvenile record to try him as an adult.

Jason Moore, who acted as Atkins defense attorney, said he could not speak about the case

ATKINS

and Melton has said in the past he went and personally apologized to the clerk’s office employees.

Hutchison said the employees asked Lacheney in their meeting with him if they could be “grandfathered in� and “his response was ‘no.’ �

Tyler said she is disappointed that after being offered a benefits package through Powhatan County at the time of starting her employment with the circuit court in May 2014, she now has to face that “if an agreement is not signed I will lose the benefits promised and given to me at the time of being hired.� “I did not accept this position to have this become an issue to work for the Circuit Court and County of Powhatan and having to sign such an agreement in order to do my job which I enjoy on a day to day basis,� she said.

and upholding the Constitution and Code of Virginia to achieve true fair and equitable treatment.�

Hutchison said that is not only a recent occurrence; Dobbins has “consistently informed her staff of all interactions and meetings with the board of supervisors and the county administrator since the beginning of the MOU discussions, which started in early 2014.� “As staff, we stand behind the clerk in not signing the MOU. One of the main reasons the clerk has not signed the MOU is because the county adminis-

She said she was told

Melton again pointed out that Powhatan taxpayers fund $3.4 million of the $5.3 million in salaries that are needed to run the constitutional offices.

“This award is validation of these efforts and will serve as motivation to continue our work to create a ‘STEM State of Mind’ for our teachers and students,” Jones said.

The award was named after Dr. Marlene C. Scott, a now-retired administrator that led the way for this pedagogy, beginning in elementary schools.

In presenting the award in person, Scott pointed to Powhatan County taking a small school within a school STEM academy and diffusing the teaching

methods and strategies to all schools throughout the division.

“Powhatan County Public Schools has been working hard to integrate STEM in a meaningful way. We are thrilled to receive this award, and it will be an inspiration as our team continues to move forward,” Dr. Cher-

Several staff members were able to attend the convention because of an innovative classroom grant program supported by the Powhatan Education Foundation.

Based on discussions with Gordon and considering that Blankenship is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;upstanding member of the communityâ&#x20AC;? and had no prior criminal history, they all agreed the action taken on Feb. 19 was an acceptable course of action, Caudill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The resolution meets the ends of justice. We are not here to destroy people.

We are here to make sure accountability is had,â&#x20AC;?

Caudill said.

He added that each case is dependent on the facts presented, and the facts in this case â&#x20AC;&#x153;warrant this resolution.â&#x20AC;?

The Powhatan County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office charged Blankenship on Dec. 7, with attempted voter fraud when he allegedly voted absentee and then went to one of the polling stations on Nov. 3, and attempted to obtain another ballot, according to the Powhatan County Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office information at the time.

Caudill praised the thorough investigation done by 1st Sgt. Jason Tackett, who was a lieutenant at the time.

Gordon, speaking for his client, said Blankenship was actually testing to make sure his absentee ballot was recorded â&#x20AC;&#x153;to the extent that someone could not vote twice. The procedure was the red flag.â&#x20AC;?

At the polling station, Blankenship gave poll workers his name and identification, which begins the voting process, Caudill said. Blankenship was told at the time that he had already voted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was an effort by Mr. Blankenship to make

Caudill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The system worked.â&#x20AC;?

After surveying the competition, DellaPenta thought Dixie had a good chance to take the best in breed title, but didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to assume anything. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s [Dixie] very nicely put together and has a good show attitude,â&#x20AC;? she said.

When the judges were done examining Dixie, the handler walked her down and back and Dixie got so much applause that the judges commented. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The more applause and attention she gets the more â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;onâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; she is,â&#x20AC;?

The win marked DellaPentaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first breed title at Westminster.

This year was the third time that Dixie has competed at Westminster, but she also competes in other registries like the American Kennel Club (AKC), the United Kennel Club (UKC) and the Coon Hunters Kennel Club (CHKC) where she has won multiple titles, including CHKC 2015 World Show Bench Campion and AKC 2015 Reserve World Bench Show Champion.

When Dixie isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t competing in shows, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s running around with the two other dogs that Kochensparger and DellaPenta own, Scout and Winston, on their 8-acre wooded property or snuggled up in her dog bed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At home she is just a puppy.

They live in the house on the couch and on the bed, and on the weekends we get to go on road trips and have fun,â&#x20AC;? DellaPenta said.

Conformation refers to the dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s structure, type and temperament and how well it matches the breedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s written standard of excellence.

Dixie will most likely still continue to compete in coonhound bench shows because she has so much fun traveling and competing, DellaPenta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best thing I can say is Dixie is a pet that sometimes goes to dog shows,â&#x20AC;? DellaPenta said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;No matter what happens in the ring, we always go home with the best dog [because she is ours].â&#x20AC;?

The future Bane of criminals’ existence New recruit training to join sheriff ’s office K9 unit by summer

By Laura McFarland News Editor

P

OWHATAN – Bane knows how to play. But right now, he is learning how to work.

Later this year, the 14-month-old Dutch Shepherd hopefully will become the newest addition to the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office’s K9 unit.

Bane and his handler, deputy Quinn Pasi, have been training to build the eager canine’s police dog skills since not long after he was donated to the department at 7 weeks old. Together, they are working toward getting ready to attend a certification academy in April in Culpeper, the real hurdle before Bane officially begins his career in law enforcement.

If all goes well and Bane passes the eight to 10week course, Pasi and Bane will be safeguarding the streets of Powhatan together along with the county’s other K9 officers, Sgt. Michael Boggs and his German Shepherd, Jake, and Detective Mike Wentworth and his Dutch Shepherd, Diesel.

“Having grown up with dogs and always liking being around their company, to be able to do this at work is a dream come true. You can’t match the bond and there is no better partner. Once he certifies, we will be in the field,” said Pasi, who added he expects that to be no later than June.

Like Jake and Diesel, the certification course will train Bane in both patrol work and narcotic detection, Pasi said. Once trained, he could aid in tasks such as drug searches, helping find lost Alzheimer’s patients, tracking fleeing criminals and alerting officers to suspects hiding in a building.

“They have a refined set of skills humans just don’t possess. And they do it for free – for affection and praise and to get out and play,” he said.

Having three K9 unit police dogs serving in Powhatan would be an ideal situation because of the increased availability to help officers in different tasks, said Wentworth, who is an investigator with the Amelia Powhatan Drug and Gang Task Force along with the Virginia State Police. This will help cut down the response time for calling a dog out to a scene and bring another pair into the schedule so they are not stretched so thin.

“I am a big dog advocate. That is my passion in life. I am glad to have another dog here that will be a dual certified dog,” Wentworth said.

That dual certification is important in a county like Powhatan, where deputies handle a diverse range of calls and tasks where a dog can be an invaluable asset, he said. The dogs can be used as an extra presence when warrants are being served, in tactical situations, in deterring people from running from law enforcement officers and in clearing a building so officers entering don’t find someone waiting for them with a weapon.

“The dogs’ capability to smell is so overwhelming and the application of the dogs is so varied,” Wentworth said. “For us to clear a building takes a lot longer than a dog. They are much faster than we are.”

Wentworth recalled a case where Diesel was able to track a suspect in a few breaking and entering cases, which led to the sheriff’s office getting a warrant and recovering several stolen items. In another case, his K9 partner recovered a knife used in a nonfatal stabbing in Powhatan County, he said.

“That led the person to confess when we confronted them with the knife used in the stabbing,” he said.

Sometimes, the dogs’ mere presence is enough to deter any further incidents from occurring, such as attacks or suspects trying to flee, Wentworth added.

Powhatan, along with the rest of the nation, is experiencing an influx of heroin usage that is tearing families and communities apart, Pasi said. A narcotic detecting K9 is a great asset in combating this epidemic, even in something as unexpected as detecting the smell of drugs during a routine traffic stop.

WOMEN Are you ready to QUIT smoking cigarettes?

The benefit to the county is three-fold as the drugs the dogs find are taken off the streets and out of the hands of users, dealers are often caught and arrested and the dogs pay for themselves when the county starts seizing money and property from the dealers, Pasi said.

The county has already been getting a great deal with Bane because Pasi assumed responsibility of the dog when he was donated. He sought the position of joining the K9 unit, having been interested in it for awhile, he said.

“I have always worked as the decoy, which is the guy who gets bitten in training exercises, so the interest has always been there,” he said.

Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office deputy Quinn Tasi is working with Bane, a Dutch Shepherd donated to the department. Pasi wants Bane to become the newest addition to its K9 department and his partner and fundraised to send him to certification academy this spring. Until then, they are already working on basics.

port for that goal and said both the local community and people in other areas were extremely supportive.

As far as establishing a bond between them, Pasi said he started that immediately. Bane – who interestingly was named by self-confessed “nerd” Pasi after the villain from “Dark Knight Rising” and the Batman comic series – came home with the officer to live with and socialize with his wife and children.

Pasi said he made clear from Day 1 that Bane is not just a family pet.

“While he is social with my children, you have to remember what he is trained to do. It is not a lap dog,” he said.

However, because they have to work together with such trust, Pasi said it has been imperative to build a really strong bond with Bane. The dog won’t have a generic handler when he goes to the academy – Pasi will be there every step of the way training with him.

“The training is just like the SOLs. There is a certain set of guidelines the state sets forth that you have to be able to show you can work as a canine team,” Pasi said. “It is kind of vital that the bond be there before you go. If not, you are going to be fighting with the dog the entire time.”

Bane is a happy, confident dog who has taken well to training, which is all about games, Pasi said.

He said there is a misconception that police dogs are highly aggressive, but really their training is about making it fun for the dogs and then rewarding them with praise, attention or a favorite toy.

The fact that Bane is doing so well in his initial training is important because if a dog doesn’t do well in obedience training, it probably doesn’t have what it takes to become a police dog, Pasi said.

So far Bane’s temperament seems right for the job, Pasi added. He is high energy but focused. He has ball drive, meaning when a ball, for example, is hidden and Bane is sent out to locate it, he keeps hunting until he finds it.

“There is a dominance and a confidence that comes with dogs that end up doing police work.

Bane seems to have that,” said Pasi, who said he can’t wait for all of the hard work with Bane and fundraising for his future to pay off when they go to training this spring.

“Just setting foot in the training academy is going to be an exciting day because I have been working

Hoping this would be his future partner, Pasi took on the financial responsibility of not only regular care but working toward the eventual training course, which costs about $4,500. Pasi fundraised for sup-

for it. Having fundraised to get there, it has been a lot of work,” he said.

‘Small business’ has big meaning in our area

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News

“B

ehind every small business, there’s a story worth knowing. All the corner shops in our towns and cities, the restaurants, cleaners, gyms, hair salons, hardware stores – these didn’t come out of nowhere.” – Paul Ryan, Speaker, United States House of Representatives.

“Small business isn’t for the faint of heart. It’s for the brave, the patient and the persistent. It’s for the over-comer.” – Author unknown.

For a simple, two-word term, “small business” can encompass quite a range.

Just think about it: Pushed into that category —just in the United States alone -are 28,000,000 companies, all of which meet U.S government’s definition of small business (fewer than 500 employees).

The founders of these businesses include Ivy League MBAs as well as folks who did not even graduate from high school, those who sit at a computer designing complicated software, and those who grind through full days of tough, physical labor.

From the largest of these businesses to the single-man operations, they do more to keep the economy rolling than most of us even imagine. According to information provided by Forbes, over 50

percent of the working population — or around 120 million people — work in a small business.

As we all know, small business owners are not superheroes, and yet many of them manage to pull off superhuman feats every single day. They wear multiple hats, juggle ridiculously demanding schedules, and do whatever it takes to make their businesses competitive. They troubleshoot, rally troops, and, even when things don’t work out quite right, learn from their mistakes and keep moving forward.

Right here in Central Virginia, we have scores of small business owners living and working among us. Some of them you likely see every day as you drive past the hair salons, accounting offices and auto repair shops. Others ply their trades from home, ensconced in home offices and breakfast nooks, typing away on laptops and making calls late into the night.

Even as they offer a boost to our local economy —and provide valuable goods and services — they also offer us a wonderful example for what hard work, inventiveness and determination look like.

We hope that you will continue to support their efforts.

They may never be considered “big” by definition, but their value is truly immeasurable.

Your vote matters

By Patrick Gordon Richmond Suburban News

I

only recently learned exactly how a caucus works. As someone who has never lived in a state that holds caucuses, I had never taken the time to understand how caucuses, much like the recent ones in Iowa, actually work.

After the results were announced, it once again confirmed my belief that every vote counts.

While it’s unlikely that your individual vote will be the one that decides the next president of the United States, that doesn’t mean that your voice won’t matter enough to make a difference.

In a race that ended up being a virtual tie between Democrats Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, at least one precinct came down to the wire, resulting in a coin flip to decide which candidate would get one extra delegate.

That’s not a joke. After more than a year of campaigning, millions of dollars spent, thousands of people across the state of Iowa caucusing for one candidate or another, at least one of the state’s 44 delegates was distributed based on the flip of a coin.

While it may be unlikely that the coin flip for that one delegate will have a huge impact on the

In your own backyard

ou are never too old to learn something new.

For years and years, I’ve passed

by Chimborazo Park in Richmond and never realized the unique history of the acres of hilltop property that offers breathtaking views of the city.

Sure, I realized the ground was hallowed and served as a Confederate hospital during the Civil War. Despite overwhelming challenges, Chimborazo treated thousands of soldiers during the war, and most of them who entered the sprawling hospital campus eventually healed and returned home or back to battle.

It’s a medical history that is displayed in the National Park Service’s headquarters at the site that houses an extensive medical museum of the activity at Chimborazo.

And, for years, that was the story at Chimborazo. Many enjoyed the beautiful surroundings of the park without studying its medical past, and others avoided the history altogether.

And, that was the only history known for decades when it came to Chimborazo. NPS historian Mike Gorman said historians simply didn’t know what happened on the site from the time it ceased being a hospital and when it became a Richmond park in 1886.

Researchers found evidence in the most unlikely of places. Records of the Freedmen’s Bureau began showing up on the Internet, and the name Chimborazo was repeatedly listed as a residence for freed African-American slaves.

After volumes of research, the period following the war is still an incomplete history, but the evolution of technology and the Internet allows

historians to constantly pursue the unknown.

While there are monuments and memorials to many heroes around the city, there’s not one mention of the evolving black community at Chimborazo, except a few misleading articles in the newspaper from the time.

It seems racial relations between residents of Chimborazo and Rockett’s Landing located just below the hill were not cordial and the newspaper reported several incidents described as riots that, in reality, were fights between residents and intruders.

In 1880, the city ordered the community torn down, and the lumber from the dozens of buildings was sold to the highest bidder and sold off.

Some of the squatters moved structures across Broad Street but remained in the area, but the large community of freed slaves who lived at Chimborazo spread out across the country and the world.

It’s a piece of Richmond history that has been reclaimed thanks to the dogged efforts of Gorman and his colleagues. It’s no surprise that there’s still much to learn about the years after the war when the industry of slavery ended, and thousands of slaves found that being free didn’t solve everything in a destroyed South.

Learning about Chimborazo affirmed something I’ve always believed: The more you look, the more you learn.

When it comes to Richmond and its history, it’s also good to know there are still mysteries out there, places not visited and stories not told.

It’s never too late to discover them.

I’ll view Chimborazo differently now as I recognize it’s another important part of AfricanAmerican history in the city — a history that will one day be complete and celebrated.

eventual nomination, it’s still remarkable that among more than 4,000 delegates that will decide which candidate will be nominated by one of the two major political parties in the United States, at least one of them was awarded based solely in the most arbitrary fashion possible.

On the Republican side, things were extremely close as well. In terms of delegates, the top three candidates received 8, 7 and 7. In terms of the popular vote, less than 5 percentage points separated those top three.

While Ted Cruz technically got the win, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio were right on his heels. If a few votes here and there had gone a different way, we might have seen a Trump or Rubio victory in Iowa.

As the “Super Tuesday” primary draws near -- March 1 -here in Virginia, remember how close some of these votes were in Iowa. Keep in mind that no matter what the polls say before the primary, nothing matters until the actual votes are cast.

No matter who you support, make sure your voice is heard and your vote is counted. You never know -- it might make all the difference in the world.

L E T T E R TO T H E E D I TO R Being informed about upcoming county financial decisions is important topic Dear Editor, I wanted to relay a belated thanks to all my neighbors. Last October/November while going door to door supporting my preferred candidate for our county board of supervisors, I met some great people and had some very positive dialogue. One thing that was quickly apparent was they shared many of the same concerns about taxes, county growth, traffic, spending and representation.

That’s why I’m compelled to send this letter. Currently our board of supervisors and county administration are at a critical stage with budget planning. Nothing is free. The decisions that our board of supervisors (BOS) and county administration make over the few weeks and months may significantly impact us for years to come. I strongly encourage people to visit, http:// powhatanva.gov/424/Budget, where you can view information on the preliminary Capital Improvement Program for fiscal year 2017 on your own. There you’ll see items ranging from a new Public Safety Radio System for approximately $15 million, plus $255,000 involving an engineering study on chloramine booster station reducing flushing requirements and a possible $250,000 for a skate park amongst other items.

While I’m not advocating or opposing any specific item at this time – there is a lot of information to read through – it’s important that we’re able to see the direction of the county Capital spending and have every opportunity to discuss any concerns with our elected officials during public hearings, email, etc. Are there any impacts on our taxes?

We voted in November to elect constitutional officers and board of supervisors. That wasn’t the final step and didn’t grant our representative carte blanche to act without continued input from his/her constituents. There are multiple opportunities in the upcoming weeks for opinions to be heard.

Sheriff’s office caring for local seniors

By Sgt. Brad Luxford Special to the Powhatan Today

T

here are exciting things happening for seniors in Powhatan County.

Seniors make up 18 percent of the county’s population compared with the Virginia state average of 15 percent.

Powhatan is fortunate to have such a diverse and wise population of people and Sheriff Brad Nunnally, is dedicated to protecting their quality of life.

This goal is being met through the leadership of the sheriff’s office and a number of initiatives within the community.

The concept of a Triad first began in 1988 through a partnership between the American Association of Retired People (AARP), the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Sheriff’s Association. The program is committed to eliminating abuse and victimization of the elderly.

The Powhatan County Triad program is a public/private consortium made up of the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office, Powhatan County Social Services, Senior Connections, the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia (OAG) and the senior community in Powhatan County.

The program began in 2009 through a grant from the OAG and the collective efforts of involved organizations and community leaders. Powhatan’s Triad program was developed under Powhatan’s local government through its sheriff’s office and is not a nonprofit organization.

The program strives to serve senior citizens through education and support programs for crime prevention, health and quality of life issues.

Senior citizens can be more susceptible to violence, fraud and property crime. The sheriff’s office is working to armor them against these situations through education, training and the knowledge that there are people and groups they can turn to when

they have a problem. They are not alone.

At the Triad group’s monthly meetings, guest speakers are invited to visit and attendees are educated on a myriad of topics.

Each month, either Nunnally or his Triad liaison speaks to the group about crime trends and scams and various crime prevention topics that may be occurring at that time.

Once a year, the group sponsors a senior fair. At this fair, numerous vendors, government services and nonprofit groups set up booths to educate and advertise. There are guest speakers, food and a feeling of community.

This year, under Nunnally’s leadership, the sheriff’s office is starting a new program with, and for, Triad. With the use of funds obtained through grants from social services and another grant from the OAG, the sheriff’s office will be starting a mobility equipment program for seniors involved with Triad.

Items such as wheelchairs, wheelchair ramps, personal medic alerts, fans and air conditioners will be loaned out to our seniors in need. When the item is no longer needed it will be collected and re-loaned, free of charge. More loaner items will be added to the inventory as other grants become available.

Money and equipment donations also will be accepted.

This is the first time a program like this has been done in Virginia.

Project Lifesaver The Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office partnered with and began a Project Lifesaver Program in 2007. Project Lifesaver is a system to assist in the locating of lost persons who are afflicted with dementia (Alzheimer’s disease) or autism spectrum disorder.

Both of these conditions compel a person to wander. They do not travel like the rest of

us and can be very difficult to find with normal search techniques.

Through the years this program has grown from its initial five clients to, on average, 15 people in the program. It has had as many as 18 people enrolled and currently has enough equipment for 19.

The number of elderly persons with Alzheimer’s is expected to rise and the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office will be ready.

The program is free and our goal is to continue to keep it that way as long as possible. The labor to maintain and search is supplied by the sheriff’s office and the costly equipment has been paid for by grants from Walmart, WAWA, the OAG’s office, numerous civic associations such as the Moose Lodge and Wings of Hope, and fundraising drives by citizens and the administrator of the PLS Program.

This year, Nunnally would like to see the Project Lifesaver Program improved by increasing education and support to the caregivers.

Both of these conditions are extremely hard on those caregivers. Particularly in families hit by Alzheimer’s, the caregiver is also usually elderly or a grown child with a family of their own.

Packets of information on each condition will be assembled and given to the families of clients.

There are grants and ways to get assistance for these families to give them a break from the day to day, 24-hour care. Even an afternoon once or twice a week can make a huge difference for the health of the caregiver.

Information and assistance in obtaining this assistance will be offered by our PLS deputies.

If you have any questions about Triad or Project Lifesaver, contact Sgt. B. B. “Brad” Luxford at 804-598-5757 or bbluxford@ powhatansheriff.net

During a joint meeting of the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors and School Board, financing the county’s CIP was the main topic of discussion.

Board Continued from page 1A

the approved projects will be adopted as part of our budgetary process and that you are directing the county administrator and other staff to work with the financial advisor and bond counsel on financing those projects and … they are authorized to take any action they might need,” she said.

Larry Nordvig, who represents District 2, clarified that the resolution authorized county staff to work on the financing issues but that no actual financing would occur until a public hearing was held and the board of supervisors approved a resolution authorizing the bonds.

The board’s decision at the Feb. 22 meeting happened after deadline, however the supervisors generally agreed last week they would come prepared to make a decision about the junior high project and three members reiterated promises they had previously made to fund the new school.

The Feb. 17 workshop was attended by all five supervisors and four members of the school board. Valarie Ayers, who represents District 3 on the school board, was not present.

Discussing financing While the call to make a decision about the school happened at the end of the joint workshop, the bulk of the time spent together in the meeting was on asking questions about and discussing financing options to fund the CIP and how it might affect the county’s credit ratings, financial policies, and commitment to a huge burden of debt without knowing what other possible financial needs may lay ahead.

David Rose, senior vice president of public finance for Davenport, worked with the board on understanding many of those issues.

One of the key issues was the county’s debt service versus expenditures ratio. A local government’s payments of principal and interest on debt is called debt service. The ratio of annual debt service as a percentage of total annual governmental expenditures is

used to assess service flexibility, according to Weiler, who clarified the issue after the meeting. As the ratio increases, service flexibility decreases.

“The more the local government pays in debt service the less the local government has available for other services, therefore less service flexibility,” she said. “In other words, the local government first appropriates sufficient resources to pay their annual debt service and then the remaining resources are available for non-debt service expenditures.”

According to figures provided by Davenport, Powhatan’s total FY 2016 debt service is $8,030,119, and its total FY 2016 expenditures is $73,644,013. When you divide the smaller number by the larger one, that gives the county a debt service versus expenditures of 10.9 percent.

Rose pointed to a chart the board of supervisors had already seen that compared Powhatan’s ratio to other localities. They ranged from a low of 3.8 percent (Pulaski County) to a high of 16.5 percent (Warren County) with several above Powhatan County’s 10.9 percent but more below.

Under one of the scenarios laid out by Davenport, the county would borrow an extra $3.1 million at the same time as its bond to put more down in interest payments in the first two years of the projects, Rose said.

This method of capitalized interest then sees the county paying off that extra debt along with the rest of the amounts over a number of years. The point of this is to free up extra cash in those first two years of the bonds.

If the county went with that scenario, the debt service versus expenditures ratio would rise to 14.6 percent. If that happened, Davenport would recommend changing the county’s financial policy guidelines from keeping this ratio below 12 percent to below 15 percent.

“It has been a number of years since we reviewed financial policies. We would be talking with the staff about revising those for several reasons,” he said.

Board members’ reservations Despite Rose’s assurances that the county would stay in line with its peer counties in

Virginia, the rise in the ratio sparked a great deal of discussion as some board members were not comfortable with the jump.

“What is bothering … our native conservatism is it doesn’t like the creep from 12 to 15. We just don’t like it,” said Carson Tucker, District 5.

Nordvig said in the days leading up to the meeting, looking at the documents Davenport provided and seeing it raise its ratio to 15 percent made him feel uncomfortable. He said Rose was making him feel a little more comfortable with his explanations, but always in the back of his mind is the risk of going to the top of the county’s borrowing capacity and then having something else go wrong down the line.

“Those graphs that we have are great, but they don’t show future new expenditures. To be fair they do not show future revenue either, so you could play that game,” Nordvig said. “But let’s say expenditures wins out and we go through 15 percent and we have that car broken down that we have to pay for, what then? That is why I get nervous up there.”

Rose said that is why it is critical for a county to have a fully funded unassigned fund balance “that can take care of some unforeseen problems or needs in a given year or for a couple of years.”

He also pointed out that the county is putting a large portion in cash down on the projects, and if the county needed to conserve that and use it for another project, it could be converted to debt service for the short period.

It’s not desirable or optimal, he said, but it could be done.

The discussion would continue for awhile longer, but several board members could not get past the big jump in the allowable debt service versus expenditures. That is what ultimately led to some board members talking about not funding the CIP in its entirety and why they felt more discussion needed to be had on all of the projects after the Feb. 22 meeting except the school and possibly a water tower project that would service both the new middle school and a joint transportation facility shared by the county and school division.

break-ins that occurred overnight, again on Douthit Court, came into dispatch on Aug. 24. The additional calls came in from SMG Imports, a car dealership, Arborscapes and again at Quality Data Systems. A video from one of the businesses captured four masked, dark-skinned males wearing gloves at about 4:42 a.m. on Aug. 24.

During the first break-in, the thieves took about $1,200 in cash from Quality Data Systems, Cerullo said. The second time, they stole money counters and ATMs, which the company repairs.

They then went across the street to the other two businesses, which share a building, and broke in there, he said. Among what the thieves stole were laptop computers, checks written to Arborscapes and a BMW car.

There was limited evidence at the scene, as there were no fingerprints or DNA, Cerullo said. However, deputy Mile Fiedler noticed part of a broken spark plug among glass shards of the broken door at Quality Data Systems.

About a week later, another deputy, Lt. Danny Smith, knew businesses on the street had been broken into several times and monitored the area. At about 3 a.m. on Sept. 1, he and fellow deputy, Rodolfo Riopedre, noticed a car that was driving slower than normal in the area and weaving and pulled it over as a possible case of driving while intoxicated, Cerullo said.

All of the department’s deputies had been shown the surveillance video of the break-in. During the traffic stop, the deputies noticed some of the car’s passengers matched the general descriptions of some of the thieves in the video, Cerullo said.

Detective Mike Wentworth was called to the scene and noticed that one of the passengers was wearing a distinctive style of shoes similar to one of the thieves in the video, Cerullo said.

Meanwhile, Riopedre had seen cases in another jurisdiction where spark plugs were used to break into buildings, Cerullo said. A bag of sparkplugs was found in the vehicle.

“The police, by very little bits of pieces of information, like a puzzle coming together, put this whole case together,” Cerullo said. “They could have very easily have said they are not DUI and let them go, but by working together and piecing this together, they made a good case.”

Unfortunately, deputies were only able to make a case against Atkins, who was tied to the break-ins through several pieces of key evidence, Cerullo said.

The sparkplugs were found in his bag along with the checks made out to Arborscapes and a digital camera stolen from Quality Data Systems that actually still contained photos taken inside the building, Cerullo added.

Atkins’ mother gave permission for a consent search of her house, where law enforcement officers found one of the stolen money counters, Cerullo said.

Cerullo also presented the jury with electronic evidence that helped build the case by showing Atkins tweeted about selling a money counter and exchanged text messages regarding selling one of the laptops, giving a serial number that matched one stolen in the break-ins.

Deputies could not find evidence linking any of the other passengers in the vehicle stopped on Sept. 1 to the break-ins, Cerullo said.

“We believe there were four people involved. We know Hassan Atkins was one of them. Of the three people in the car the night we arrested the, we couldn’t make facial identification because they wore masks,” Cerullo said, adding the case is now considered closed.

Cerullo said all three businesses have insurance but had to pay deductibles, so he will ask the judge to order Atkins to pay restitution to them for the deductibles.

Gerardi wins second state title

By Dave Lawrence Contributing Writer

S

ALEM – Hanover brought the big guns – including a reigning state champion – to the VHSL Group 4A state wrestling championships, but Powhatan was the team to bring home a title.

Fauquier successfully defended its team championship with 114.5 points to Eastern View’s 101.5. Hanover finished sixth in the Group 4A team standings.

Powhatan was 11th with 39 points.

Both the Hawks and the Indians sent a pair of wrestlers to the group finals Saturday at Salem Civic Center, but Powhatan 120pound sophomore Collin Gerardi outwrestled his opponent – Kettle Run’s Caden Lody – to claim a state title with a 7-0 decision.

It is the first multi-state champion in Powhatan school history, according to coach Jonathan Tanaka.

Gerardi had a simple plan: to not leave his opponent an opening.

“He was really strong, stronger than I thought he would be,” Gerardi said of Lody. “But I just stuck to my game play, took him down and pretty much dominated him from there.

I rode him out, took him down again in the third period and just did what I do best … dominate.”

Part of that domination was Gerardi’s ability to keep his opponent on the

“I think the best chance of winning is just to limit

all of his (chances) to nothing,” Gerardi said.

“When I’m in the lead, if I can just hold that, I’ll be

Gerardi said that he feels like going forward, he’s going to be a big tar-

4x200 team sets new school record

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

PHOTO BY BILLY FELLIN

Powhatan’s Amy Adcock started the opening leg for the 4x200 relay team on Thursday at the Boo Williams Sportsplex in Hampton. The team would set a new school record with a 1:58.65 in the event.

HAMPTON-- Powhatan track coach Gregg Whisler wrote that his conference champion 4x200 team had a goal for the regional meet.

Better the past performance.

“Even though they won conference, they knew it would tough to beat schools from the east,” he wrote in an email. “That was. Their focus (was) to beat their best time which already was a school record and they did.”

The team of Amy Adcock, Danielle Bigham, Mallory Keck-Wilson and

Hannah Adams ran a 1:58.65 to set a new school record in the 4x200 relay.

Overall, the team was 11th in the event.

The Indians brought 20 athletes to the event and many of them had personal best performances, according to Whisler.

In the shot put, Will Schwartz finished fifth with a throw of 46-feet, fourand-one-half inches. Justin Stoner was 18th in the same event with a 37-foot, sixinch throw.

The 4x800 relay team of Bigham, Ashley Van Buskirk, Keck-Wilson and Megan Remillard was eighth overall with a time of 11:00.30, a season best for

the team.

Freshman Ashley Cooper was 10th in the 1000 meter run with a time of 3:26.73, another season best. Whisler said the event might be a new sweet spot for Cooper.

“I was very impressed with Cooper,” he said. “She may have found her event.

Her race was exciting to watch because she took the lead in the last lap and outkicked another runner to win her heat.”

The girls 4x400 relay team, with the same runners as the 4x800, was 12th with a time of 4:39.04, also a season high. Caileigh Dinsee TRACK page 3B

Indians season ends against Falcons

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s boys basketball team fought valiantly against Huguenot in the opening round of the Conference 20 boys basketball tournament at Powhatan on Wednesday.

After getting just a handful of points in the first quarter, the Indians fought back in the second quarter and had their opponent, the Huguenot Falcons, on the back foot.

But, another big run from the Falcons abated the surge that Powhatan had accumulated, ending in a 67-49 final and ended the Indians season.

“This team fought all year and it was indicative what we did tonight,” Powhatan head coach Steve Washburn said. “Huguenot is a good team and they showed it tonight. They put us back on our heels early.”

Huguenot got out to a 17-2 run through the first quarter, which was in large

part due to Huguenot’s athleticism, especially on defense. The Falcons were able to get fast break points off creating turnovers.

Making matters worse was that in the first quarter, the Indians weren’t able to get any offense going at all.

“We had some shots that we normally make, we just missed a few,” Washburn said. “I think a few shots here or there we could have gotten the momentum back, but it just wasn’t meant to be.”

But, in the second quarter, the Falcons were going too fast and making mistakes. The Indians were able to capitalize on those mistakes and find their rhythm offensively and mount an 11-2 run to reel the Falcons back in.

Three-point shots from senior John Davis and freshman Deven Van Netter brought the Indians even closer to within six points.

“We made a run in the second quarter,” Washburn said. “I thought we made a good run. I just thought we

had to adjust to the style and the speed of the game.

I thought we did a good job of that.”

The start of the third quarter was back-and-forth, Justin Deleon sank two free throws to bring the Indians within six again.

That’s as close as the Indians would get as the Falcons went on a 15-1 run that spanned the rest of the third and the beginning of the fourth quarter.

“We kind of got run down in the third and fourth quarter,” Washburn said.

“They took advantage of our mistakes and played well. This team’s done a great job all year fighting through all the obstacles. I thought we had one more fight left in us, but we came up just short.”

Keon Lewis led the Falcons with 17 points.

Harris led the team in the game with 13 points, including four 3-point shots. Harris grabbed one final 3-point shot to end his Powhatan career on the final shot of the game. Harris

Powhatan’s John Harris (4) led the team with 13 points, including four 3point shots. Harris is a senior and, fittingly, made a 3-point shot as time wound down in the game as his final shot of his Powhatan basketball career.

is one of eight seniors on the team.

Washburn said that the team’s fight, which was on a bright display against Huguenot, is the thing he’ll remember most about this team.

“Just the way they were a team,” he said. “When you begin the season, you hope you can find 15 guys that can collectively come together and work together and battle together. I was fortunate enough this year

to find those 15. They collectively just wanted to win for each other. That’s what I’ll remember the most.”

much fun being out here, competing against all these people that want to beat me. It just makes me better, as a wrestler and as a person. I just love the grind.”

Along with the motivation of the entire 120 pound weight class gunning for what he has attained twice, Gerardi said the love of the sport is a huge motivating factor for his work ethic.

“I’ve grown up with (wrestling) and seen everyone wrestle alongside me,” he said. “It just makes me work hard and want to help everyone else work even harder.”

Gerardi’s teammate, Elijah Jordan, joined him in the finals in the 106pound division, but finished runner-up after a being pinned at the 3:38 mark by Great Bridge’s Brandon Morales.

Even though the Indians finished with a split in the finals, they broke new ground for the team by sending a pair that deep into the tournament bracket.

“First time we’ve had two state finalists in school history, so we’re really happy about that,” Powhatan wrestling coach Jonathan Tanaka said.

“Our coaching staff has done a tremendous job pushing kids along. …

The kids have bought in. I love our young kids, our freshman and sophomore class. They’re really getting after it.”

Gerardi, a sophomore, is one of those sophomores, and, as the first repeat champion in school history, is helping create that legacy Tanaka hopes to build upon.

“We’re bringing home a title and we’re bringing home silver,” Tanaka said.

“Anytime you can knock off those first for the programs, it’s huge.”

Powhatan finished 11th in the team standings.

Gerardi and Jordan will both return for the Indians next season on what should be a talented squad next year.

Chase Miffleton was 15th in the 3200 meter run with a 10:55.61. The 4x800 relay team of Miffleton, Connor Fletcher, Sam Wentworth and John Cavedo was 12th overall with a time of 9:52.88.

Since Powhatan did not qualify as a team, their team points werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t many,

son had 12 points against the Generals, while Maggie Salomonski had 10.

The Indians advanced to face off against No. 1 seed Monacan, the defending Group 4A state champion, and Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season ended in a 74-12 final.

The Chiefs rushed out to a 34-9 lead at the end of the first quarter. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first half, they were nervous, I think,â&#x20AC;? Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Monacan is good. I mean they beat everybody.â&#x20AC;?

Maiolo led the team in scoring again with six points.

Bowman said that she felt the Indians played much better in the second half of the game. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a little more energy and got some shots up,â&#x20AC;? Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of them didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fall, but at

least we gave ourselves the opportunity to score. I think the second half was a lot better.â&#x20AC;?

This girls basketball team was extremely young for Bowman this year, with only one senior in Courtney Westerman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of them this was their first time on varsity,â&#x20AC;?

Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a different speed from JV. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming around. We had some devastating injuries this year that we werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to overcome.â&#x20AC;?

Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s season ends with a 6-17 record, and a healthy percentage of the roster will return next season as a more experienced group of players, especially after battling through two rounds of the playoffs and seeing what it takes to win in the post-season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confidence. Basket-

just one point for the girls as a team and four for the boys.

Midlothian was the girls team champion, while Lafayette won the boys title.

Whisler wrote that he was very pleased with the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s performance overall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are not at the same level as the top teams in our conference, like Midlothian,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With such a young group, I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we would be.

But, they competed, worked hard and I think they displayed the potential to be a very good team in the future.â&#x20AC;?

Kylee Maiolo had 16 points against Dinwiddie.

As far as the Group 4A state championship this weekend, only one Powhatan athlete will represent the team there. Will Schwartz, who had a long enough throw back in January to qualify for the state & Operated by Professional Engineers tournament, is the lone In- MELLS? Owned STICKING DOORS? BOUNCY FLOORS?

ball is all about confidence,â&#x20AC;?

Bowman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to work in the offseason. We showed some improvement this year. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to show a lot of improvement over the summer. Teams are only going to get better and whoever we play is only going to get better. So, we have to get better.â&#x20AC;?

However, this team will always have a unique identity, according to Bowman. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re crazy,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just wide open, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re loose. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get hard on them. We had three returning players from last year and two of them were sophomores. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot to ask.â&#x20AC;?

Fowler awarded Athlete of the Year

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

The Powhatan High School gym was packed on Saturday morning for a basketball tournament.

But, it wasn’t any tournament for the Indians, although many Powhatan High School students and student-athletes were on hand.

It was the Area 6 basketball tournament for the Special Olympics and the teams came together for a day of fun and athletic competition.

The day started off with three very special awards that honored people that have given so much to the Special Olympics program.

First was the prestigious Athlete of the Year award, which went to Powhatan resident Crystal Fowler.

It was a touching moment as Fowler was called up on the gym floor in front of the full stands, tears in her eyes as she came up and was handed her award.

“I’m very excited to get it,” she said, “and to let everyone know that Special Olympics helps me get everyone involved. I like Special Olympics.”

Fowler said that she has been involved in the Special Olympics for 20 years.

“It’s been very overwhelming,” Fowler said

about her tenure in the Special Olympics. “The first time that I became an athlete, I was the only athlete and I didn’t know where to start. Other athletes got me involved and showed me what basketball is.

“I like to travel to see other counties get involved,” she said. “(Today) I’m excited to see everyone play and win and have fun.”

According to the Special Olympics nomination form, the Athlete of the Year Award is presented to “an athlete who has show determination, dedication to training and true sportsmanship during his or her participation in Special Olympics Virginia.

The Hancock family of Goochland was also honored with the Family of the Year award. The nomination form for the family award says that it is presented to “the family who has made a unique and lasting contribution to Special Olympics Virginia to benefit the lives of Special Olympics Virginia athletes.”

“I’m really touched,” Harry Hancock III said. “I had no idea it was coming.

My mom had some idea, but I did not.”

Hancock III is the head coach of the Goochland Special Olympics swim

team and assists with other sports, such as basketball and bocce. Hancock III was coordinator for the event at Powhatan, saying he runs around the event and answers questions and makes sure that people are where they need to be. He also does the opening ceremonies, which he said is his “primary face time.”

Hancock III said that their involvement in the organization began when his mother was a coordinator in Goochland. “(She began coordinator in Goochland) at the same time I was in college,” he said. “I started working with West Virginia state games, such as skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing. For whatever reason, I stuck with it.

When I came home, my mom needed a swim instructor and next thing you know, I’m there.”

The third award of the morning went to Marjorie Loya, a special education teacher that has volunteered with the Special Olympics for many, many years.

She was presented with the Winning Spirit Award.

According to her nomination form, Loya has no family connection to the Special Olympics, but has “been committed to the benefits of the Special Olympics long term.”

So what is taking the place of living rooms and dining rooms?

Great rooms and openconcept kitchens have steadily caught the eyes of designers and homeowners alike. Such rooms enable a free flow between lounging and entertaining spaces and the heart of the home Ñ the kitchen.

On-the-go families may not be sitting down to the same formal dinners they once were, or they don’t need the pomp and circumstance of formal meals. Large eat-in-kitchens function well for family meals and even for entertaining friends in a relaxing way.

Thanks to the advent of wireless technology and mobile devices,

As early as 1992, architects and builders were predicting the demise of formal living spaces in homes. At that year’s International Geographical Congress, architectural geographer Artimus Keiffer estimated the living room and dining room would disappear from the American residence in the next century, to be replaced by the family-entertainment room and the computer room.

According to North Carolina-based builders Stanton Homes, many home buyers have inquired about converting their formal dining rooms into office spaces or rooms to be used for purposes other than dining.

The National Association of Home Builders also released a special report listing home features expected to become the norm within the next several years.
